Column Was Insulting

Advertisement

Dusty Rhoades’ repetitious, sophomoric rant (“Here’s What They Really Mean,” July 29) on “Rabid Right wingnuts” makes the feeble, insulting case that if I don’t agree with the policies of Barack Obama, then I am “a racist.”

Thematically, the “Liberal Left” has more heart, while the Rabid Right has no soul. Our president lectures us, in government-centric policy style, about fair shots, same rules, paying one’s fair share and being our brother’s keeper.

As a child I learned the importance of charitable giving and good works from my parents, my school and my church. I don’t want or need the government or the president telling me how much and to whom I will give.

The president’s continual attempts to dismantle all private charitable giving reflects his government-centered fair shot, same rules, fair share mantra, which seeped through on July 13, 2012.

As far as his “you didn’t build that” comment being taken out of context, the speech Obama gave, before he went so hopelessly off teleprompter, was originally meant to be yet another class warfare attempt to make the case for his dictates of fair shots, same rules, fair share and redistribution of somebody else's wealth.

To be fair, although a colossal blunder, his syntax, grammar and tendency to “misspeak” could be to blame. But the shrill cadence of that off-the-rails diatribe about how government infrastructure props all up embodied contempt and envy for the very ones whose wealth he wants to redistribute.

His rabble-rousing style, emblematic of community organizing days, suggested his audience should be resentful and envious as well.

That’s the context of “you didn’t build that,” and perhaps the reaction of the country at large wouldn’t have been so extreme if he had been properly vetted.

Well, you certainly hit quite a few of the right wing buzzwords in that letter: "teleprompters", "class warfare", "redistribution", "hasn't been vetted"....do you guys get a gold star each time you drop one of those in? Or are these being written by some sort of computer program that just rearranges the cliches?

The President wants to dismantle all charitable giving? REALLY? I don't think so. Maybe the TAX DEDUCTION for so-called CHARITABLE GIVING. So many people "give" to their churches when of course they possibly will even themselves "BENEFIT" from their donation since the government doesn't require any info on how they (CHURCHES) use all that cash. Dusty's column was great. It's more than obvious that the Teapotters are going for their LAST "White Man" Stand. I was appalled yesterday in hearing Paul Ryan say, ..."our rights come from nature and god not the government.." WHAT? So we're back to SURVIVAL of the FITTEST?, more AYN RAND BS!!!!! Sorry TEA PEOPLE but when Nature and even GOD have sorta "Left Behind or Abused" certain "other" people, our GOVERNMENT has stepped in to RIGHT the WRONGS. You are very sick bunch.

Dear Jane,

Your letter brings forth yet again the differences in what has become the democrat party and that of the rest of America.

Mitt Romney may not be perfect, and we on the right of the isle have many times spoken to Romney about where we feel he is wrong, fortunately for us we have a candidate and now a VP candidate who listen to what we say.

There is a movie coming out called 2016 Obamas America, I hoe that you will watch it. It will reveal much about the president that most do not know.

As to Obama, he really has no idea what he is doing and never did, we must all praise God for the mid term elections that we were able to somewhat constrain this man who has no understanding of how anything really works.

Geoff, long time, I have been wondering when we are going to see a column from you. If I were to describe the current "Democrat" party, I would say that it is a party of socialism that believes that government is a better solution to our problems then private solution. Im positive there are a few blue dogs left, however the party has been overtaken by the Obamas, The Reids, The Pelosis, The Waters.

I really do think old Billy cringes everytime he really takes a look at what these people have done to his party, you no short of the whole Lewinsky scandal, I always felt Clinton when left to his own devices understood the true role of his party and of the government in America.

Remember Welfare as we know it is over?

I have observed if Dusty has called you a racist you are in fact a racist. Dusty as a learned scholar is totally unbiased in his objective view of commenters is spot on. The only right way is the Democratic way and if you don't agree with them, then you are racist. You can't argue with what is right (or left). Dusty is then end all of what is right!

When a political party like the Republicans here in America embrace a philosophy and platform that will disenfranchise mostly minorities, women and the elderly then you are racist and even more. Otherwise why do it? WHY ARE U GUYS WANTING TO DO THIS? And don't give an answer like Mitt's when he said that "He's gonna get rid of "OBAMACARE" and replace it with something else." But guess what? He never says what the "something else" is. Case Closed. It's called "Man's inhumanity to man."

Saying that the Democratic Party as a party of socialism is like saying the Republican Party is the party of free market capitalism; neither claim is grounded in reality. Both parties almost certainly cater, first and foremost, to corporate donors and their buddies in the private sector. Any concessions made to the masses is secondary to either party's primary function, which is to ensure that one elite group of individuals is a little more dominant than some other elite group of individuals. Even though the Democratic Party seems to be more humane in carrying out its function, they are a far cry from socialists. And even though Republicans have the tendency to go on and on about free markets, they are more interested in markets which are free to extract economic rents and surplus value at the expense of labor and the environment.

While watching CNN coverage of the Ryan VP announcement, I noticed these two little flat pieces of plastic on either side of the podium. They were tilted slightly forward, toward the podium and sat on top of tall supports. Perhaps some of the most knowledgeable of the posters here could tell me what these two things were. While the entire event was very well staged, I was a bit disappointed when Willard appeared on the deck of the ship and made his way down the gangplank to the podium. Would have been so much more dramatic had he been in a flight suit with a banner attached to the ship stating "MITT IS ACCOMPLISHED". (Ball in your court Couresaire)

Obviously, since all the angry right wingers are already voting the anti-Obama ticket, how did the Ryan pick help Romney? Weren't the real conservatives already fired up and voting? Obama and his people have decided to shift from the left-center to the left with his election rhetoric. The centrist position was/is open. Romney could have easily slid in that direction and owned the center- moderates and independents. They are the group that is going to decide the election. He could have won! I am confused. Do they actually think the election is going to be won based on the number of folks who show up to vote? If so, why wake-up a sleepy, apathetic left? Ryan's extremism is going to rally the left. Seems like a strange strategy to me. Wait, is it possible Mr. Romney continues to be a slave to the Tea-party right, the hard-core conservatives? Since his positions are all malleable, that could make sense. Ya, that's the ticket! LOL, the losing ticket.

Obama has increased the national debt more than all other president's combined. He has reigned over the largest government take over of the private sector since Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. His healthcare law will raise taxes, for millions of American families and businesses and we still don't know how much it will cost. This was supposed to be the summer of recovery yet we are losing millions of jobs still and there is no end in site. His incoherent and weak foreign policy has led the muslim brotherhood taking over Egypt and the same with Syria. He has alienated Israel and his weakness and cowardice is encouraging Iran to escalate their intentions at war. Obama is an embarrassment. I love the fact that CrustyToades and Toad defend this guy. Two imbalanced kooks defending the kook in chief.

I'm tired of hearing "liberal" connected to "left" as in "liberal left" -- a commonly used malapropism (look it up).

George Washington was a liberal, even at times a radical. He wasn't a leftist, however. We have hardly any leftists left. Not so long ago we had Troskyites, SDS, the Weatherman Faction, and old standards like the American Communist Party. Haven't heard about any of them lately, have you?

Seems to me the neofascists love to tag the middle as leftist.

Jason 9 months, 2 weeks ago

Actually, let's pick on another. Israeli politicians are beating the war drums (and against the wishes of their military leaders). Like our Founding Fathers and most things in life, there is more than one opinion within Israel. There is far from uniform agreement that the Iranians are an immediate threat or that the world's sanctions against Iran aren't good enough to cause behavioral change. Your hero Reagan didn't bomb the Soviet Union, their military spending caused their down fall. Make no mistake, these severe sanctioins against Iran are economically painful. "Until now the U.S. and other Western powers have restrained Israel from launching what they believe could be a catastrophic war for very limited gains through imposing what even Washington’s flagship Israel-lobbying organization, AIPAC, has called the 'strongest set of sanctions to isolate any country during peacetime.'”

Okay, how about this whopper- "Obama has increased the national debt " FYI, congress does the taxing and spending. And more importantly, Obama did not cause the recession. From Wikipedia (PS- Dispute the data, don't dis the source!) Change in debt position since 2001 The CBO has summarized the cause of change between its January 2001 estimate of a $5.6 trillion cumulative surplus between 2002 and 2011 and the actual $6.1 trillion cumulative deficit that occurred, an unfavorable "turnaround" or debt increase of $11.7 trillion. Tax cuts and slower-than-expected growth reduced revenues by $6.1 trillion and spending was $5.6 trillion higher. Of this total, the CBO attributes 72% to legislated tax cuts and spending increases and 27% to economic and technical factors. Of the latter, 56% occurred from 2009 to 2011.

The difference between the projected and actual debt in 2011 can be largely attributed to:

$3.5 trillion – Economic changes (including lower than expected tax revenues and higher safety net spending due to recession) $1.6 trillion – Bush Tax Cuts (EGTRRA and JGTRRA), primarily tax cuts but also some smaller spending increases $1.5 trillion - Increased non-defense discretionary spending under both the Bush and Obama administrations $1.4 trillion – Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq $1.4 trillion - Incremental interest due to higher debt balances $0.9 trillion - Stimulus and tax cuts since 2008 (Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, ARRA and Tax Act of 2010)[2

BY the way the last 2 years of Bushs term and the first 2 years of Obama was run by a Democratic House and Senate. So for 4 out of the last 5 is Dem controlled. Now who you gonna blame now.

MC7-what do you see as the endgame of our national debt which has skyrocketed under Obama and to a lesser extent under GWB. Do you have any concerns over your financial future and that of your loved ones? Do you seriously believe that Romney/Ryan want seniors and poor (truly) poor people to starve or not have access to healthcare? Do you think of the debt at all? We know that President Obama blasted Bush re:the debt when he was candidate Obama yet he has escalated it at previously unprecedented levels. Yet another situation in which he has "evolved".

Okay fugitiveguy, I do worry about my future and my sons if Mitt and Paul are elected. I am VERY SCARED at the thought of those two robot dweebs getting to the White House. I'm not scared at all with President Obama. Here's what none of you talk about. The unemployment rate in Jan 2008 was 4.9%. In Dec 2008 it was 7.2%. Jan 2009 it was 7.6% and in Dec 10.00%. In Jan 2010 it was 9.7% and in Dec. 9.4%. In Jan 2011 it was 9.0% and in Dec it was 8.5%. And finally in Jan 2012 it was 8.3% and in July (last month) it was 8.3%. SEE ANY PATTERNS? George Bush almost DESTROYED AMERICA. Recovery takes time from something like that and guess what? Those numbers are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and we're RECOVERING. It's slowed down but there continues to be a ROLLING DEBT (citizens personal debt), and lots of other problems that have probably made things slow down. The Rich have been the recipients of all the money that George started handing out in Sept 2008 and sad to say President Obama kept giving even more of that money to the Rich. In today's NYT: "The same problems that plagued the foreclosure process....are now emerging in the debt collection practices of credit card companies....Lenders are churning out lawsuits without regard for accuracy and improperly collecting debt from consumers.....roughly 90% of the credit card lawsuits are flawed and can't prove the person owes the debt." Americans were ROBBED by the RICH who owned the Banks, the Real Estate, the Mortgage and Credit Card Companies, the Auto Industry, the Drug companies, the Health care Industry, etc. The Overpricing of things along with the POOR Quality of things is ruining America. Hopefully after Nov. we'll be able to rev up our Job markets and help improve Americans feelings of uncertainty. Mitt and Paul (MS. Ayn Rand) are complete maniacs and will put us in another freefall. No Doubt.

Oh and fugitiveguy, the debt that you're so worried about will begin to come down when the bzillionaires are taxed at appropriate rates (35% or so). They stole Tra-zillions from the American people with their "Funny Hedge Funds", rip-off banks, stockmarket scams and Real Estate Companies. There will be government cuts of course, like the $700 million that Mitt keeps saying the President "stole" from Medicare to give to the AHC. That money was taken away from overpriced providers. Our entire Health care system is riddled with scams, over-charging doctors and hospitals, etc. That's where the CONTROLING of our DEBT will come. By weeding out the BZILLIONAIRE THIEVES!

According to Politico in 2009, 235,413 reported income of $1 million or more (totalling $727 billion) with an average tax rate of 24.4% ($177 billion). Even if you increased their marginal tax rate to 75%, you'd only increase taxes by $363 billion. This doesn't even put a dent in the deficit. Total 2009 income was $11,917 billion, so the total income for people making less than $1 million was $11,190 billion. If you increase their marginal tax rate by just 3%,, you'll just about equal the additional taxes raised by the 75% uber rich tax..Excessive taxing of the rich will not help. The numbers do not lie.

I'm not jealous. I do believe in FAIRNESS though. And not because the RICH have gotten tax breaks, but because they were given ALL OF THOSE TAX BREAKS to create jobs, and businesses and opportunities for the rest of us to hopefully be able to succeed to their levels. Guess what? They didn't create many jobs or opportunities. They created bedlam, off-shoring, hidden bank accounts, Ultra-Extravagant lifestyles for themselves, more homeless Americans, more joblessness, and on and on. Checkout America's Budget from 1992 to 2000. There's your answer plus Simpson-Boles. Courseaire, the million-billionaires have so much UNTAXED $$$$ sitting around doing absolutely nothing, that to say if we tax them now, we won't get that much. THAT'S BECAUSE THEY STOLE SO MUCH!

I think you just lost any and all rights you had to comment here anymore Profitlessman. "Educate your self fool!" Really?.... REALLY? What is a "fitsnews"? Who or what is a Rick Manning? Why is he more qualified to have Unemployment Statistics than the BSL? You shouldn't have called me a fool. The description is more YOUR STYLE, plus you just can't spell or write cohesively.

"Faces with Facts?" What is that? What R U talking about? Capt. Morgan talking or Jack Daniels? I'm not wrong because I've only quoted from a RELIABLE source. Do you know anything about RESEARCH and SOURCES? Didn't you once say that you had some sort of a MASTERS Degree? From an "Online U?"

So Ryan's benefiting from the very government spending he claims to abhor. How very like Paul Ryan.

Our little Profit is typical of many who post here who have suckled at the government teat and then complain about big government. They are all card carrying hypocrites.

Hilarious. AP has a government job which he admits he goofs off at...and he blames the Obama administration for his lack of success.

Paul Ryan receied a Social Security check from the age of 16 to 18 because of the untimely death of his father. Now he wants to PRIVATIZE it? They need to create a new word for these TEAPRTYPOOPERS who are GIGANTIC HYPOCRITS.
