Mark2, you and I probably do not agree on much, but I have to admit you make some cogent points. Be honest though, is the nation as a whole better off watching a half hour news program? I would be willing to bet a large majority of those people get ONLY that half hour AND they think they are informed.
Well it’s official, now we have three bafoons hepling obumbles screw the USA.
Biden
Kerry

John Kerry, the Secretary of State (Who Served in Vietnam), Tells Berlin Students Americans Have the “Right to Be Stupid”
RUSH: John Kerry, the secretary of state, is in Berlin, ladies and gentlemen. And while he’s there he’s probably reminiscing about the good old days of the Cold War wishing that there were an East Berlin that he could visit. You know, hang around with the buddies. You know, go to East Berlin and say, “Hey, you know me? I’m the guy that threw the fake metals from my Vietnam War service over the White House fence. Remember me?” There is no more divided Berlin, but that didn’t stop John Kerry. He was speaking with students in Berlin about freedom of speech
KERRY: In America, you have a right to be stupid if you want to be, and you have a right to be disconnected to somebody else if you want to be, and we tolerate it. We somehow make it through that.
I’ll bet he has read many of the dumbocrats posts on this web site to come up with that statement.

MSNBC is down for the count! A sinking ship! They’ve fallen and they can’t get up!
The network is dead and NBC Universal ain’t doing great. Time for Brian Williams, Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell (NBC New Washington), Tingles, Maddow, Ed, Larry O., to all take a huge pay cut.
NBC, the chief propaganda wing of the progressive movement is sinking fast. Good NEWS for America.
22 trillion in debt after eight years of O. He ruined this country and people won’t know it until we crash.
He will have doubled the entire national debt in 8 years!
John Kerry he’s a Frenchman?
Question for this sites moderators. At what point would you remove a poster for excessive posting?
Isn’t one poster posting 17 or 38 post excessive posting?
As Mike W stated this person also, Out of 226 posts on Friday 78 were from 1 poster, that’s over 1/3 of the posts.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it is a nuisance.
“Question for this sites moderators. At what point would you remove a poster for excessive posting?”
As long as they’re not a sock puppet, never.
I will step up my posting to meet this challenge.
You’ll see I can be just as big a nuisance as Mr. 78!
I don’t know, folks. We have a right to be stupid. He also told them in Berlin how he lost his diplomatic passport when he was 12 years old after sneaking out to the Soviet-controlled East Berlin. He actually did go there. I was not joking. That’s why I’m sure he wishes it were still divided, he could go back and visit his friends. He said he snuck out of the American embassy at age 12 “for a clandestine bicycle ride into the Soviet-controlled eastern part of the city. ‘I saw the difference between east and west. I saw the people wearing darker clothing. There were fewer cars. I didn’t feel the energy or the movement.’” And that’s exactly what we’re trying to build in America. We want it darker. We want fewer cars. We don’t want a whole lot of energy because we’re trying to save the planet. (Rush laughing)
Putting Sequesteria in Perspective
RUSH: Sequesteria. We are in the midst of sequesteria. We’re counting down the days to the disaster, zero hour. It is this Friday. Everybody is trying to think of ways to put the amount of money we’re talking about here into some sort of understandable context. Even if you say that we have $3,700 billion every year that we spend, i.e., $3.7 trillion, okay, we got $3,700 billion, and we’re gonna cut $25 billion. It’s like, okay, I got $3,700 and I’m not gonna spend a quarter. Pretty close. There’s another way of looking at it, though. And that is to say that we’re going to cut government spending by one cent on the dollar, one cent on the dollar is all.
I have some time this weekend and I have a boat load of meaningless drivel to spew on this site.
Have fun Cathy. Just having a little fun.
Now, I want to put it to you this way. If spending more money this year than we did last year is going to bring this country to its knees, shouldn’t that tell us that the government has way too much control over our lives? Shouldn’t that tell us that they have seriously overreached? Shouldn’t that tell us that we are way too dependent on government if all of this can happen while we spend $15 billion more than we spent last year? Even look at it in the previous way I mentioned it, cutting spending by one cent on the dollar. Every dollar we spend, we’re gonna cut a penny. If even that is gonna bring the country to its knees, if that is going to cause all of these disasters, the cops say bye-bye, the first responders, out of there. The list, by the way, keeps expanding, this disaster list. Rush
“‘The good news is, the world doesn’t end March 2. The bad news is, the world doesn’t end March 2,’ said Emily Holubowich, a Washington health-care lobbyist…” Again, “Emily Holubowich, a Washington health-care lobbyist who leads a coalition of 3,000 nonprofit groups fighting the cuts,” says, ‘The good news is, the world doesn’t end March 2. The bad news is, the world doesn’t end March 2.” She says, “The worst-case scenario for us is the sequester hits and nothing bad really happens. And Republicans say: See, that wasn’t so bad.” Rush
Thanks for the answer, Bill.
They’re worried the sequester’s gonna happen and nobody’s gonna notice. They’re worried it’s gonna be like a Y2K. Everything was supposed to come to a screeching halt, but it didn’t. You look back on it, and all those Y2K people are now viewed as a bunch of panic-filled kooks, right? Well, that’s what they’re afraid of here. So the Democrats are in a position where they’re almost hoping for disasters to occur here and there so that they will be validated. Rush
It embarrasses me that the American people can be this easily controlled and bamboozled. That’s what makes me ashamed, that we’re gonna spend $15 million more this year than last year, and people’s lives will end as they know it. But, again, real concern here. Washington Post story. It’s worth noting, because in this story the mask really slips. We hear what the left really wants from the sequester, and that is pain. The Washington Post quotes a White House alley, this health care lobbyist, Emily Holubowich: “The good news is, the world doesn’t end March 2. The bad news is, the world doesn’t end March 2. The worst-case scenario for us is the sequester hits and nothing bad really happens. And Republicans say: See, that wasn’t so bad.” Rush
AP, a story from today by Calvin Woodward. “SPIN METER: In Budget Fight, Sky is Falling Again.” The AP is dialing it back now. It’s probably more than a CYA gesture than an attempt at honest journalism, but if Obama is losing AP on this, it’d be like Lyndon Johnson losing Cronkite on the war in Vietnam. Here’s how Calvin Woodward of the AP begins the story. “President Barack Obama and his officials are doing their best to drum up public concern over the shock wave of spending cuts that could strike the government in just days. So it’s a good time to be alert for sky-is-falling hype.” It means the AP is a bit skeptical here. Rush
“For now, there’s a whiff of the familiar in all the foreboding, harking back to the mid-1990s partial government shutdown, when officials said old people would go hungry, illegal immigrants would have the run of the of the land and veterans would go without meds. It didn’t happen.” (gasping) AP: it didn’t happen. The children didn’t starve in 1995. The borders were not inundated with illegals. Old people didn’t go hungry. The homeless did not commit suicide. None of it happened, AP reminds us. And none of it should happen March 2nd. There aren’t any cuts when you get right down to it. There are shifts in departmental spending. There are agencies that have to prepare for the possibility of cuts, but we’re not gonna be spending any less money this year than we did last. Just the opposite.
Rush
Sicilian Papa, Post away if you want. Many sites do have excessive posting rules. I just wanted to see if this one did. USA8888 isn’t changing anyone’s mind. I don’t even read his posts but it’s hard not to notice when he has a page full of posts.
Ibsles, Obama isn’t going to let the sequester hits without making sure it causes problems.
