Alabama Liberation Front: Dick Armey, right and wrong

Alabama Liberation Front: Dick Armey, right and wrong

(auto link here) How Dick Armey is too anti-Christian in his criticisms.

Dick says "Democrats have already lined up behind the solution of raising taxes and reducing benefits." -- I don't believe any Dems have lined up behind any reduction in benefits. The problem of huge spending is that Reps are trying to outspend the Dems, but the Dems WILL NOT BE OUTSPENT!

There were a few Reps against a few pork items in a few bills, but amendments to reduce those portk benefits were NOT supported by the Dems, nor by enough Reps.


My 2004 3-d analysis shows: the breakdown on three
issues: Bush - Kerry - Total

Iraq+WoT 21.2 mil. 21.2 mil. 42.4 mil.
Tax Cuts 8.5 29.8 38.3
Moral Values 27 4.3 31.3

Bush won 2004 because of anti-abortion / pro-life.
Bush won because 52% of Catholics voting voted Rep.

Armey is an idiot if he thinks low-tax Reps can win w/o pro-life Reps.

Niether Armey nor the fine Ali Bubba are mentioning the Media, the hate-the-rich capitalists biased reporters who also hate the Christians.

Ali mentioned Teddy K and a better list of losing items under Rep influence:
"That's who to blame for No Child Left Behind, Medicare prescription drugs, the failure of Social Security reform, the stupid Senate "comprehensive" immigration plan, and the mess in Iraq!"

The extremely weak NCLB Kennedy approved program, instead of real voucher reform, meant that Bush succeeds at passing an "incompetent", non-successful reform. And Bush and Reps, not Kennedy, get all the blame. Why not pass a real Rep reform, or nothing?



Yet Iraq is the real loser issue, and the Reps are silly not to place the blame correctly.

On Arab Muslim Iraqis (or is that Iraqi Muslim Arabs? or Muslim Iraqi Arabs? or Iraqi Arab Muslims? or...)

The Iraqi Muslim Kurds are doing OK -- this is reasonable evidence that the Bush-Rumsfeld Liberation was reasonably good. The failure of the Arabs is not Bush's fault.
When an Sunni Muslim Iraqi Arab murders many other Iraqis, that's a Sunni Muslim Arab problem in Iraq, not a Bush problem; except in perception, in PR.

The Rep PR problem is that all the anti-Americans in the world, as well as Dem Bush-haters, want to blame Bush for the bad things bad Muslim Iraqi Arabs are doing.

Austin Bay Blog » The New Ruler In Kuwait–And Evolving New Rules
"Earlier Sunday, parliament voted unanimously to name Sheik Sabah the new leader the first time in Kuwait’s history that the legislature played a role in choosing the emir, a matter that had been the business of the ruling family for hundreds of years."

Sounds a bit like the Magna Carta.

neo-neocon

Most important is Neo's long awaited Part 6 B - A mind is a difficult thing to change.
(War is interested in you)
"Looking back, I realize that two elements were absolutely necessary for this to occur: a powerful motivation, and access to information."

It's long; it's great.

Neo also "rests" on the Hammas victory, by recalling a prior dictator.
neo-neocon on Hitler's rise: "Meanwhile Schleicher was failing spectacularly in his attempts to form a coalition government, so Hindenburg forced his resignation. But by now, Hindenburg was exhausted by all the intrigue and crisis, and the prospect of civil war had moved the steely field marshal to tears. As much as he hated to do so, he seemed resigned to offering Hitler a high government position. Many people were urging him to do so: the industrialists who were financing Hitler, the military whose connections Hitler had cultivated, even Hindenburg's son, whom some historians believe the Nazis had blackmailed. The last straw came when an unfounded rumor swept through Berlin that Schleicher was about to attempt a military coup, arrest Hindenburg, and establish a military dictatorship. Alarmed, Hindenburg wasted no time offering Hitler the Chancellorship, thinking it was a last resort to save the Republic."

Cars of the family

On my other blog, Liberty Dad - a World Without Dictators, I'm listed as a Honda S2000.

So my wife took the test:

I'm a Porsche 911!



You have a classic style, but you're up-to-date with the latest technology. You're ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige - you're one of the elite,and you know it.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.



Well, my son Mishko (10) had to take the test:

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!



You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.



And my son Danko (8) took the test:

I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago!



You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull.



Fun test. The boys like a sledgehammer, the parents a scalpel. Other issues, too; I'm not high maintenance nor with expensive tastes, but my wife is and does have.

Teo Eva Patrick day 6
