Here's what krystalnacht reminds me of:

Macbeth: Act 2, Scene 3

DONALBAIN
138 To Ireland, I; our separated fortune
139 Shall keep us both the safer. Where we are,
140 There's daggers in men's smiles: the near in blood,
141 The nearer bloody

Never had to actually accomplish anything.....or be correct about anything
Collects wingnut welfare due to who his Daddy was.
Where have we seen this movie before?
Overpriviledged screw up gets away with it because of his Daddy.

I'm not saying that someone should kick his ass, but I do believe it needs some thought.

The Case for Busting the Filibuster

I know it seems hopeless. But so did knocking out slavery when the abolitionists first started, or segregation, when civil rights activists began their struggle against Jim Crow. It's a fair enough analogy, since the filibuster is one of the last remnants of racist politics in America: it was a parliamentary tactic used by the Calhounians to make extra certain slavery would stay around.

We should adopt the strategy of the antislavery movement, which in the early stages had three approaches:

1. The laying of petitions on the House. Forgive the archaic legal phrase: I mean petitions to Congress, both houses. In the era of John Quincy Adams--in case you missed the Steven Spielberg movie--there would be mass petitions, with Adams and others reading them on the House floor to the howls of the Southerners. Every group busted by a filibuster should lay on a petition. And start with the House, which is the only place it has a chance of being read.

2. Resolutions by the House, as a warm-up for the Senate. Such resolutions might read: "Resolved, that Congress has no authority to require supermajorities in any chamber except as authorized by the Constitution." Aren't House chairs tired of seeing their bills cast into black holes by senators whose names they never even know?

3. Evangelizing. The most effective tactic in the fight against slavery was the preaching of New England clergy against it. We can start in our battle against the filibuster by enlisting faculty at New England colleges to hold teach-ins. Teach the kids why "Yes, we can" can't happen with the current Senate rules.

By the way, the abolitionists knew the Senate was their enemy, just as it is our enemy today. Let's hope these tactics work for us in getting rid of this last vestige of slavery: Senate Rule 22. What's painful is that we have to cross some of our most sainted senators. But unless we decide to just give up on the Republic, there's no way out. To save the Obama presidency, we may have to fight our heroes.

Wikipedia: Filibuster

The term filibuster was first used in 1851. It was derived from the Spanish filibustero meaning pirate or freebooter. This term had evolved from the French word flibustier, which itself evolved from the Dutch vrijbuiter (freebooter). This term was applied at the time to American adventurers, mostly from Southern states, who sought to overthrow the governments of Central American states, and was transferred to the users of the filibuster, seen as a tactic for pirating or hijacking debate.

This one especially.

It must be nice to be able to talk out of your ass and get paid for it.

Obama started two wars
fed the rich and drained the economy
ignored a drowning city
deposed the rightful president of haiti
gave nukes to india for melons
spent a third of his presidency on vacation

Bill Kristal has P.T.S. - POX Theatre Syndrome. He is beyond repair.

No one ever asks that. Too bad - the deer-in-the-headlights look Kristol et al would give in reply would be worth a year's cable bill.

These comments are designed specifically to damage the president. Especially as they are outright distortions. I don't understand why some of these perverts have not been arrested and charged with Sedition. It's one thing to disagree with the president ... but Krystal is accusing the president of something patently false. Sedition. I hate these filthy bastards who have no real credibility.

Nothing he said had anything to do with Obama or anything else. But what do you expect from a signatory of the PNAC document?

GRAMM'S STATEMENT AT SIGNING CEREMONY
FOR GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT

Sen. Phil Gramm, chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, made the following statement today in a ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act into law:

"The world changes, and Congress and the laws have to change with it.

"Abraham Lincoln used to like to use the analogy that old and outmoded laws need to be changed because it made about as much sense to continue to impose them on people as it did to ask a man to wear the same clothes he did when he was a child.

"In the 1930s, at the trough of the Depression, when Glass-Steagall became law, it was believed that government was the answer. It was believed that stability and growth came from government overriding the functioning of free markets.

"We are here today to repeal Glass-Steagall because we have learned that government is not the answer. We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by having competition and freedom.

Sound familiar?

I don't think this asshole meant the United States, because he doesn't give a damn about this country. He was accually referring to his mother land israel.

How about the recent brouhaha regarding Acorn and Prostitution?! Fox News, yet again, airs a story as news which it has a hand in creating!! Then, the "film maker" with an agenda who captures the "systemic corruption" of Acorn (Prostitute and Pimp are treated as legitimate applicants..)gets busted for posing as a telephone repairman at a democratic senator's office!??!!

Heaven knows what he would have "exposed" about her!! She does or doesn't answer her phone promptly? Whatever it is, it must be because she's a "LIBERAL."

The Republican agenda according to Fox "News" amounts to desperation manifested in insult, name calling, and punditry on a par with tabloid gossip. Clearly, this "news" station has exposed itself over and over as illegitimate. They report news before it is even played out -- have panel guests like Barbara Eden -- Jeannie? -- discussing current news and world events (I loved Jeannie, but..not sure I'd consult her on health care or the stimulus bill..), and discuss the underwear bomber as a byproduct of "soft on terror" policies of democrats and liberals.. It is all but wreckless to conclude that Abdhulmutallab's boarding of a plane bound for Detroit with explosives on his person has something to do with President Obama's less ideological and impassioned reaction to the very serious threats this country has faced and continues to face.

I'd say the Horse is called Relevance -- and Fox News has fallen off it. Please read www.neonewspub.com ---in particular-- "Of Cleavage and Credentials for more on this subject.
