There are many that shove their heads……in the sand when it comes to poverty. Too many think that since they are doing fine the damn country is in good shape. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yes, Johnson’s War on Poverty is a failure….but that blame cannot fall on his shoulders alone……every prez since LBJ is responsible for the failure……
Let’s take a look at DEEP POVERTY!
Have you heard about the Chris Christie thing…….(pause for thought)…….of course YOU have…….so let us move on shall we?
I see that the GOP will not let Benghazi go…there are so many things that could well be scandals but they like this one for some reason…..I have tried to help[ my conserv brethren out on several occasions……I have given them several under reported situation that could be made bigger and , in their eyes, better…..but they ignore the elephant in the room and keep chewing on a bone with NO meat…..what do I have to do to get them to pay attention? I could invite Rush to show up here…..or dangle some red meat in front of Rancid Prius……or I got just slap Graham awake…but all that would mean that I would have to succumb to ignorance….I will NOT do that…….
That rant out of the way…I have new red meat for the right to chew on….if they can pull their heads out of Benghazi’s ass…….
(Newser) – Iran and six world powers have agreed on how to implement a nuclear deal struck in November, with its terms going into effect on Jan. 20, the Islamic Republic’s official state news agency reported today. The report from IRNA quoted Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirming the news, without offering any other details. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton confirmed the news, reports Reuters, saying that, ” We will ask the IAEA to undertake the necessary nuclear-related monitoring and verification activities.”
The announcement comes after Araghchi said Friday that an initial agreement had been reached and all sides would respond to it by today. Under the November agreement, Iran agreed to limit its uranium enrichment to 5%—the grade commonly used to power reactors. The deal also commits Iran to stop producing 20% enriched uranium—which is only a technical step away from weapons-grade material—and to neutralize its 20% stockpile. In exchange, economic sanctions Iran faces would be eased for a period of six months. During that time, the world powers—Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the US—would continue negotiations with Iran on a permanent deal. ISNA also reported today that under the terms of the deal, Iran will guarantee that it won’t try to attain nuclear arms “under any circumstance.”
Come on….you gotta admit that this is the perfect fodder for a good newsworthy scandal…….why? You know that Israel will be working overtime to prevent this deal from succeeding…..and if the Obama admin drops another ball….this will be perfect for McCain, Graham and the rest of the Bomb Iran group to latch onto……a perfect subject for the use of ….propaganda 2.0………
Are you listening?
Some degree of hate has always been there in the political realm…..but in the last few years it has ticked up to the point that it is NO longer amusing. Surely you have seen it also….you know libs are brain dead……conservs are retards…….so on and so forth….yada….yada…..
I remember back during the days of George 1….then Clinton and on to GW……everyone one of them was setting the country on a course of ruin……but I did not hate them….I did question their sanity at times over the policies they pursued……but from me there was NO hate.
Back in those days I was writing endlessly to the Letters to the Editor….so many in fact that they tried to limit my letters to 2 a month…..so being a devious little turd…..I started written under several pen names to get my views out there…..even in those days right wingers hated…..they would insult, as usual, but seldom had any ideas what they were writing about…….then I found blogging……and dammit I found a whole new dimension of hate……and as usual insults with NO actual debate just flinging insults……as far as I am concerned insults and hatred are NOT an argument……just illustrates the little intelligence the person actually is grasping……
I seems that hatred is becoming the norm instead of the exception……..
(Newser) – Had it up to here with the president and both parties on the Hill? You’re a “hater,” according to a new poll, and odds are, if there were an election today, you’d vote for a Republican in your House district. Some 72% of haters would choose a GOP rep today, the Washington Post-ABC News poll finds. The proportion who’d go Democrat? Only 14%, the Post reports. Some 34% of haters are Republicans, while 38% are independents with Republican leanings. Some 71% are against ObamaCare. And they’re a powerful group, covering a third of voters, up from 28% in 2010. In short, per Sean Sullivan and Scott Clement: Even if Republicans haven’t had the best year, “these voters will come home in the end.”
Okay let’s talk bout the hatred for the prez, shall we?
Surely one has heard all the moronic ramblings of hatred……Obama is a socialist (this shows a serious lack of intelligence)…..the prez is gay or a Muslim or born in Kenya….even regurgitation that is is a dictator……these are all bullshit reasons….you know it and I know it….people use these because they are afraid to spout the real reason it could cost them in votes or cash or celeb status…..but there was one person that spoke the truth…….
There are probably all kinds of great responses a teacher can make to a student who says he wants to grow up to be president. “We don’t need another black president” would not be among them. A white teacher in Fairfield, Ohio, has been suspended without pay and faces dismissal after doing just that, reports the Journal-News. The local board of education took action after four students who overheard the conversation backed up the allegations against veteran freshman teacher Gil Voigt. The board took their word over Voigt’s, who said he got misquoted, reports the Cincinnati Inquirer. He can still appeal the ruling. “He was talking to some students and said some things that were racially insensitive,” says the school superintendent. “We just felt this teacher had crossed the line.” It probably didn’t help Voigt’s case that he had been disciplined in 2008 for making an “inappropriate racial comment.”
This guy is a twat….but at least he is honest on the reason for his hatred of Obama……very few are that honest…….maybe if they were we would take them a little seriously………
