Van Jones to Glenn Beck: ‘I see you, and I love you, brother.’ (Updated)
Van Jones to Glenn Beck: ‘I see you, and I love you, brother.’ (Updated)
Last year, one of Fox News host Glenn Beck’s top targets was Van Jones, former Obama administration special adviser for green jobs. Beck went on a vicious character assassination campaign against Jones, calling him “a communist-anarchist radical.” Despite all the attacks he endured, last night at the NAACP Image Awards, Jones refused to drop down to Beck’s level. At the end of his speech accepting the President’s Award for his work promoting a green economy, Jones instead had kind words for the Fox News host:
Last thing I want to say is this: To my fellow countryman, Mr. Glenn Beck. I see you, and I love you, brother. I love you, and you cannot do anything about it. I love you, and you cannot do anything about it. Let’s be one country! Let’s be one country! Let’s get the job done!
Watch it:
As the New York Times notes, ironically, local Fox affiliate stations carried Jones’ speech live last night. This past week, the Center for American Progress announced that Jones will be rejoining the think tank as a Senior Fellow and leader of the new Green Opportunity Initiative, which will focus on “creating economic opportunity in distressed communities.” He will also be teaching environmental and economic policy as part of a one-year fellowship at Princeton University.
I love you too,Glad to all live in one country.Will it be the founders country or the one you pushed when with storm?http://nyti.ms/aKOO7d

Beck just crapped his pants.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:06 pmThat’s awesome!
February 27th, 2010 at 7:07 pmBeck probably stained his shorts front and back when Jones said that.
Who knows but what Mr. Jones may have stumbled on the best way to extinguish the conservative “fire” — pour water on it from above: from WAY above. The high ground allows it.
Bowing in Van Jones’ general direction. Nice work, SIR!
February 27th, 2010 at 7:10 pmThank you Mr. Jones for sticking with being a man of class, Beck’s gonna slander you for this but you took the high-road…well done.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:11 pmI have only word to describe Mr. Jone:
February 27th, 2010 at 7:15 pmClassy
Love your enemies. It will drive them crazy.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:15 pmGood on you, Mr. Jones. I seriously question your judgement where BeckyBoy is concerned (I don’t love him!) but I admire your capacity for acceptance and forgiveness.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:16 pmMr. Jones is a better man than me.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:19 pmBlessed Truth #5:
That’s the truth. Very, very classy!
February 27th, 2010 at 7:29 pmI love Van Jones! A man of character! Good for him. If he ever runs for president, he’s got my vote!
February 27th, 2010 at 7:37 pmI heard Mr. Jones message to Glenn Beck and I remembered I heard that before. My GrandMother said hate will eat you alive and nothing good comes to you. Well now I’m old and boy it’s so true. Life gives us back what we give out. Just think a why so many old people are so angry but they ruled the school when they were young. One elderly wealthy lady said she has no visitors and she hates being lonely as I served her the meals on wheeles. She has two children and grand kids who never visit but are waiting for her to die to get her money. Jones learned from his grandmother a lesson of life. It will be interesting to see the future results of Beck and Jones. Already Jones has big contracts and even an award almost like Bush and Gore. Fox News is already worried about the Foreign Shareholders changing the shows.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:37 pmJones:…Mr. Glenn Beck. I see you, and I love you, brother. I love you, and you cannot do anything about it. I love you, and you cannot do anything about it.
– - Beck: “Van Jones was hitting on me last night at the NAACP Image Awards.”
February 27th, 2010 at 7:39 pmFascists have no class as Glenn Beck has shown.

Just wait Beck’s gonna spend his next show in front of his chalkboard screaming about how “brother” = “comrade” and then Beck will just warp the hell out of the rest of Van Jone’s statement. We all know it’s coming.
I saw the NAACP Image awards with Van Jones. Priceless. Glenn Beck did Jones a favor when the Beckster went after Jones. Jones is more dangerous out of the White House than when he was in the White House. And the Beckster has made Jones more bigger than what he was in his former White House position on green jobs. Beckster will never get it.
Jones is classy. Heckava job, Beckster.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:44 pmRight wingers are far more comfortable with hate. Love has too much of a sexual connotation to it and thus gets suppressed. Hate is easy, and they are good at it.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:46 pmI’m sure the next big story on FUX Noise is how Van Jones “viciously attacked” Glenn Beck at the NAACP Image Awards….

LOL! Already Limpballs and Levin slammed him for his ’speech’ at the CPAC. Pretty soon, if Becky keeps getting more and more nuts, they will have to call the guys in the white coats and butterfly nets.

That would be the slave traders and plantation owners.

February 27th, 2010 at 8:06 pmHow’s that imaginary small business of yours?
I don’t aspire to public service so I can express what I really feel about Becky.
I don’t love Becky. I don’t like him. I don’t trust him. I don’t respect him. I am convinced that he is responsible for some of the recent rise in Reichwing violence, especially the guy who killed three police officers because Becky told him “Obama will take your guns”.
I am adamantly opposed to any corporation that continues to give this insane freak air-time. I will not tolerate his presence on the radio or t.v. I sincerely hope that Becky dies penniless, alone, neglected, in unbearable agony and rotting away in his own excrement. Heck! I would even be happy to supply the excrement needed for even-depth coverage should his own supply dwindle. He’s an enemy of our country and, if we live to see the U.S. military engaged in combat with American citizens in American towns and cities? Becky will be among those who are responsible.
That being said, I think I dislike Becky’s family more than the disgusting shit-bag himself. Anyone who would allow a family member to broadcast his continuous mental breakdowns must be a vile, self-centered, greedy POS. The poor guy needs psychiatric care and his family is letting him continue down the crapper so long as the checks keep rolling in.

What sorts of things does God find wrong with socialism?

This is back when he was on CNN.

And I laugh at the fact that the troll doesn’t know that there is such a thing as Christian Socialism. For example: Francis Bellamy who wrote the original Pledge of Allegiance was a Christian Socialist.
February 27th, 2010 at 8:52 pmSo darryl back to the topic, you must be very impressed with Van Jones comment. Care to comment instead of bringing in the misused socialist word your side has smeared up?

This was back in 2001 when I used to listen to him on AM radio. (stopped listening to any AM right-wing radio or cable TV since) He was shrieking for the Iraq war. He and his radio sidekick also had a skit where the sidekick would call into convenience stores and ask the cashier, whom they promised a prize to if they could answer a question, about world problems. The poor slob wouldn’t know and they would make fun of him/her on air. Really Christian attitude, there. NOT.

February 27th, 2010 at 9:10 pmMore Republican Hypocrisy: Bible Belt States Have the Highest Divorce Rates. And they Worry About Gay Marriage?
Christian conservatives are hellbent on keeping gays from marrying, saying such same-sex unions are an affront to the great institution of marriage, threatening the very social, emotional and legal fabric which binds a man and woman in holy matrimony. Ironically however, it’s these very same bible-thumpers who have the highest divorce rates in the country. The Bible Belt is the breeding ground for broken marriage.
Despite this fact, the right wing evangelical fanatics like to point to states like “liberal” Massachusetts, holding it up as some sort of Sodom and Gomorrah. To the contrary, Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate in the country at 2.4 per 1,000 population.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the states with the highest divorce rates are to be found in the Bible Belt, where they exceed by 50% the national average of 4.2 per thousand people. The 10 Southern states with some of the highest divorce rates were Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North and South Carolina, Florida, Arizona and Texas. By comparison nine states in the Northeast– where allegedly amoral, faithless, Volvo-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, NY Times-reading lefties are found–were among those with the lowest divorce rates: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Rhode Island.
Perhaps these born-again Christians should actually practice what they preach. Family values? Now that’s a joke.

Ah okay…I knew it was either 2001 or 2003. Thanks for the correction. To be fair: Beck wasn’t the only one screeching about it…the invade Iraq meme has just evolved into the nuke Iran meme that a large number of MSM righties are pushing now.
And the call in skit thing kinda sounds similar to what Rush does when he decides to let the occasional liberal or democrat through call screening. It does nothing more than impress their idiot callers.

I forgive because it frees me. People who hold on to hate are miserable individuals and they try to make everyone around them as miserable as they are. I learned that forgiveness is not for the person who has wronged you, but it is for you. I agree with this concept.

Why would a non-believer go to church? What is there at church that could possibly interest a non-believer unless it was to meet people who didn’t agree with them and roundly condemned them for their lack of belief?
Besides…it’s a free country and I don’t have to go to church if I don’t want to and I have better things to do with my Sunday mornings. And no one has yet proven to me that there really is a God, a heaven, a hell and that the damage religion is inflicting on society is really worth it. There, those reasons enough for you?

Hi Kenneth…
February 27th, 2010 at 9:27 pmKenneth, this self admitting communist wants one country while anti-Americans like you trolls and the rest of the republican party want to divide the country, secede from the country and hope our president fails. It seems to me Mr. Jones is more American than all of you fascists put together.
February 27th, 2010 at 9:30 pmLots of young boys go to meet girls. How’s that abstinance thing working out christains?

February 27th, 2010 at 9:31 pmI’m certain that calling Jesus a “conservative” and holding him hostage for political gain like the GOP has, is some serious blasphemy,
and bad karma, to boot.
But go ahead and worship your Republican Jesus, WaAG.

This is interesting to me. Every wingnut I’ve encountered always confuses the terms ‘lose’ and ‘loose.’ I was sitting at work yesterday reading a memo where the wingnut I work with wrote “loose” instead of the correct “lose.” I was like, heh. I think this is a clue to their willful ongoing confusion. After all this time online writing their nonsense, they still can’t get it right. If wingnuts weren’t so cagey, we could get them help with a crack team of Swedish doctors working around the clock monitoring them until an antidote is found for their stupidity. All kidding aside, I think there is something to their mindset. This refusal to accept any additional learning. They still refuse to understand and write the term correctly.

Plus there is the community factor. One of my local community centers (Harambee) is a church but they play a lot of good music and the people that work there are some of the funniest and friendliest Christians I’ve ever met.
And I don’t think it’s going very well…many of the Red Bible Belt States think telling a hormone filled teenager not to have sex is all the sex education they need. It was not enough for the parents, and I feel sure it won’t be for their children. Example: I was reading an article a that teen birth rates are more than twice as high in Texas (63.1) as they are Massachusetts (21.3). Education levels are higher in Massachusetts too. I don’t know if there’s a correlation.

How the hell does one want government to have complete control, as the wingnuts believe socialist desire, and at the same time be a person who believes there should be no government.
Granted, the republicans are adept at hypocrisy as the last few days (and Rachel) have clearly shown. But that just attests to their greedy lying ways. Its not the same thing as being anti-government and at the sametime being one who believes more government is the solution.
By the way, radical is an adjective, not a noun. Do you get the point?

Major flashback to Ronald Reagan there. He failed at eliminating the Department of Education too.
I think the trolls hate the Department of Education because it maintains standards. What the troll is doing is arguing against standards for which all educational institutions may be held accountable. With no accountability on the federal level, our schools would really be little more than babysitting centers. Schools cannot benefit from federal grants and still expect that there will be no oversight by the federal government–one brings the other.

manipulation of the truth
manipulation of others

lack of empathy

confabulation of truth

Poor delusional republican party, they really believe they are going to take back congress in 2010 and the White House back in 2012! BAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
One problem with that insane thinking. The American people, who although are not happy with either party, haven’t forgotten that it was the republican party who got our country into this mess after running our country and economy into the ground for 8 years.

Hey trolls lets talk about this:
Fiscal irresponsibility is when you don’t add the cost of war to the annual budget.
Fiscal irresponsibility is when you pass a medicaid part D bill that you don’t pay for and it ends up costing tax payers $500 billion.
Fiscal irresponsibility is your secretary of defense admitting that $2.3 trillion is missing from the Pentagon.
Fiscal irresponsibility is allowing billions of dollars to go unaccounted for in Iraq.
Fiscal irresponsibility is giving tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% of Americans during a time of war.
Fiscal irresponsibility is continuing to give no bid contracts to corporations who do shoddy work and commit fraud against the government.
Fiscal irresponsibility is doing nothing when you are warned about a coming housing bubble.
Fiscal irresponsibility is when you ignore a coming recession warned of by leading economists.
Fiscal irresponsibility is deregulating everything and allowing greed to run rampant.
Fiscal irresponsibility is doing nothing about Enron.

On a more absurd note:
February 27th, 2010 at 11:34 pmThis morning I was reading an article on entomology (study of insects) from the University of Kentucky about the horse hair worm (which develop as parasites in the bodies of grasshoppers, crickets, cockroaches, and some beetles) and I got to thinking about what would happen if they were to make the leap from insects to humans: the conservatives came to mind. It seems plausible though absurd: the parasite usually causes insects to act oddly sometimes violent so if it made the leap to humans it would explain their behavior since Obama took office. Maybe if we are lucky…the parasite could be in its mature stage so it can convince its conservative hosts that they are dying of thirst thus causing them to drown themselves at the first body of water they encounter.

I don’t know what faith — if any — Jones practices today, although his grandfather was apparently a Christian and deeply religious. Regardless, you have to acknowledge that this particular comment from Jones demonstrates more genuine Christian spirit than anything Beck (the self-professed Christian) has ever had to say about Jones.
Throughout the New Testament, Christians are told that they have an obligation to treat other people — even those whom they consider their enemies — with respect. At this moment, which one — Beck or Jones — is behaving in accordance with those instructions??

Cut Spending! Cut Spending! Cut Spending! Cut Spending! Cut Spending! — Kenneth
******************************************************
How about starting with Michael Steele, who (according to Politico) has reportedly been spending twice as much as his predecessors on catering and limousines — including over half a million dollars in food alone? And in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, yet — when thousands of ordinary Americans have been losing their jobs and their homes and their hope for the future? Talk is cheap and actions speak far louder than words — so why should anyone in his or her right mind think that Republicans genuinely care about the concerns of ordinary Americans or believe in fiscal responsibility and decreased spending when the head of the party is spending other people’s money like this? And no — before you go there, trying to pass the buck by pointing fingers at someone else will not be accepted as a satisfactory rebuttal. Do you think that what Steele has done/is doing is acceptable and excusable — yes or no???
What am I saying?? Silly me…for a moment there, I forgot who I was talking to! Of course you think Steele’s behavior is justified — because people like you believe that as long as you’re a Republican, anything and everything you do is completely justified.
February 28th, 2010 at 12:22 amThat’s true, bluestocking.
February 28th, 2010 at 12:29 amMy grandmother, born in the late 19th century, never attended church much, although her father was a sort of self-proclaimed theologist. She used those same philosophies throughout her life. She used to tell me “you can draw more flies with honey, than vinegar”. It was her way to bake a pie for an adversary before she requested their cooperation.
It always worked.
Worship and adore God:
Prove it. Prove there is a God without relying on anecdotal evidence, circular logic, or an appeal to authority. Go for it. I’ve yet to see a single individual, and I’ve debated this with those far wiser, and more intellectually grounded than yourself, who can do so.
Don’t bother saying I can’t prove there is no God either, as a negative proof fallacy is very old, tired, worn out pool indeed. You’re the one with the extraordinary claim, you’re the one with the assertion you need to support, not I. Thus, you’re the one who needs to produce extraordinary evidence (or any evidence whatsoever, as there is none), you’re the one who needs to support your assertion, not I.
Incidentally, historical evidence of individuals within the Bible actually existing isn’t evidence of divinity, so don’t bother going down that path, either. The pure irony there is that the one person for whom you most need to prove existed at all, to have any hope of BEGINNING to support your assertions, the man known as Yeshua bin Yosef, Jesus of the not-contemporarily-proven-to-exist Nazareth, your Christ figure, the so-called son of your God YHWH, one of the greatest prophets of Allah (also known as YHWH), is an individual for whom there is no evidence contemporary to his life of his very existence, including census records of the Romans per the Bible and the very reason he was born in Bethlehem to begin with according to the myths. Evidence of divinity requires much more than proof that a Moses, or Pontius Pilate, et al, existed in a historical context. So sorry.
Finally, stop being like…scratch that, stop flat out being a hypocrite, and go back in to your closet to worship. If you want to spread the word of God, do so as your Lord and Savior informed you; do so with your deeds, with the actions of the faithful, not with words meaning to bring attention to your God, and to YOU and YOURS. If the acts of your faith are sufficiently pious, respectful, and good towards your fellow man, you will convince others. Words, attempts to use fear as a tool to convince the unfaithful, appeals to emotion, and more, are the acts of a hypocrite, and not worthy of the very deity for whom you purport to worship and adore. If you truly worshiped and adored Him, you’d actually follow His teachings.
But of course, you don’t truly worship and adore Him. You fear Him, you fear death, and in turn you fear life for life brings with it risks that could potentially deny you an eternity spent with Him whom you fear above all others.
Have fun not living life to its fullest, and being a sad hypocrite who follows an ideology (modern conservatism) that is very much diametrically opposed to the teachings of He whom you purport to love, worship and adore, and thus follow, above all others. Me? I’m fundamentally a good human being, who, were I to “worship” anything, worships altruism, common good, helping my fellow man, equality, a philosophy of freedom to speak and worship (or choose not to) as you will so long as you bring no harm to others, and otherwise follow a philosophy that is firmly progressive/liberal in social terms, and much more moderate in economic terms. If I am proven wrong upon my death, and find myself, many years, decades, centuries, or millennia, raised from the dead along with all others on the day of judgment per the book of Revelations as all other dead humans from the entirety of history are likewise raised and judged, I will find myself in Heaven, for I have been good, honorable, and caring towards my fellow man. Not a selfish, hate-filled demagogue who follows a corrupt ideology compromised by bigotry and a desire for POWER above others, as well as being pathetic stewards of the Earth. No, if anything, I will be judged worthy of Heaven, and you will be, quite unfortunately for you, condemned to an eternity of torment. Especially since I was, per your own metric, raised as culturally Christian, and thusly did quite emphatically and with the fullness of my heart accept your Lord, Jesus Christ, as my personal savior in my youth, until such time as my prolific reading of the Bible from cover to cover multiple times, and probing questioning of my Sunday school teachers taught me just how shallow and hollow the knowledge and caring of many so-called spiritual, religious individuals, truly is.
No, I’m afraid you’ll find no conversion potential here without something more than mere appeals to authority or emotion (primarily fear, mind you, which is a clear indicator of just how fragile your world view truly is when revealed to its fullest), base assertion or negative proof fallacies, or circular logic where you state that the very words of a book are evidence of said book’s authenticity and authority.
So sorry. Try harder. Try again. Do better. Good luck, because you are REALLY going to need it.
February 28th, 2010 at 2:18 amOh, and yes, more on topic, Van Jones is indeed a class act.

FRANKFORT, KY (AP) – Two of U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning’s Kentucky offices have been checked after bomb threats were received, but nothing was found.
Bunning’s office in Louisville was checked after the threat.
In Hazard, a threat was made on he William D. Gorman Educational Center, which includes the offices of Bunning and U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers.
Louisville FBI spokesman David Beyer says nothing was found in either case but the matter is under investigation.

*********************************************************
For your information, one of the reasons why the Greek economy is collapsing is because the government was apparently cooking the books by deliberately hiding their debts…which, if my understanding is correct, is very similar to what the executives at Enron did in order to artificially inflate profits. You are aware of this, are you not?
February 28th, 2010 at 9:56 amKay Blame Bush is tired. Your name-calling is tired and your lack of understanding of any subject I’ve seen you post on suggests that you are

Here’s a link regarding the concealment of debt by the Greek government — and Goldman Sach’s possible involvement in the affair:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=asBNXSLtlN9E&pos=1
Several passages within the article deserve particular attention:
“The price of bonds should reflect the reality of Greece’s finances,” Blain said. “If a bank was selling them to investors on the basis of publicly available information, and they were aware that information was incorrect, then investors have been fooled.”
The swap enabled Greece to improve its budget and deficit and meet a target needed to remain within the region’s single currency. Knowledge of their existence may have changed investors’ perception of the risk associated with Greece, and the price they may have been willing to pay for the country’s securities.
“From what we know, this is an egregious example of a conflict of interest” for Goldman Sachs, MIT’s Johnson said. “Even if the deal had been authorized, it doesn’t let them off the hook.”
“Investment banks are guilty of being part of a wider collusion that fudged the numbers to make the euro look like a working currency union,” said Matrix’s Blain. “The bottom line is foreign exchange and bond investors bought something sellers knew not to be the case.”
February 28th, 2010 at 10:16 amWe don’t hate the wealthy. We only hate the ones that don’t pay their share of the taxes (Goldman Sachs paid 1% in income tax last year!)!
Ummmmmmm, imbecile ekidon, Van Jones has an idea for creating jobs in the green sector. Do you not read? LOL! Seriously, you’re a fool but keep writing so we can see how STUPID THE FASCISTS CAPITALISTS TRULY ARE!
If you support Wall Street companies “collapsing” so they can steal American’s retirement funds, THEN COUNT YOURSELF IN AS A FASCIST CAPITALIST!
February 28th, 2010 at 10:17 amWe understand why you want to forget about bush, get over it.
The damage done by the republicans under bush will be felt for many years. Accept personal responsibility.
Oh, I forgot, I’m sure you didn’t like bush and didn’t vote for him. We’ve heard it all before. Suddenly no one voted for him.
We are not the ones that are angry. We aren’t calling for armed insurrection and rebellion and stirring the racists and the gun lovers into action. That’s your crowd, the nazi’s.
Namecalling, if you’re too sensitive to be called a fascist liar, don’t post stuff to support the notion or don’t be so thin skinned. I thought you guys were supposes to be the tough guys. Are you a pussy?
Bottom line, your predictions and assertions mean nothing.

Why is it that progressives hate the wealthy so much. Could it be that they have given up hope of having success on a level that would make them wealthy? If you have ideas that would generate a business to provide for the social programs you love so much, get out and do it. Stop trying to take money from the people that made it. Self reliance is dead with progressives and that is what is missing from any of the debates on this site. All I hear is give me, give kme, give me. Where is the pride in a job well done and the satisfaction of knowing you were successful at anything but making enough noise to get someone to pay you just to stop shouting. — Ekidon
*******************************************************
So what you’re saying is that at least in your opinion, the executives at Enron — and therefore, the Greek government — did absolutely nothing wrong or unethical?

Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins voted 80-88% of the time for George Bush’s economic and foreign policies! They are to blame along with the other teabaggers in our Congress for the demise of our country. I will never vote for them, but unfortunately, being the “We Support the King” FASCISTS they are, they’ve convinced Maine’s MSM that they are CENTRIST MODERATES!
Fox News is owned by a half-Jew, the Muslims, and the Chinese Communists! You support them. YOU ARE TO BLAME! You’ve been sold a bill of goods. Way to support the enemy, ekidon! Again, you’re to blame!

So lets see, even if this is true which I have no reason to believe. But giving him the benifit of the doubt I still don’t see this as such a great deal.
One hospital visit that costs 250,000 would still leave you holding the bag for:
20% of 245,000 = 49,000
5000 + 20% of 245,000= 54,000
Now that’s a deal, not.
And aaronk thinks this is acceptable.
Not to mention that just about anything that costs under 5000 is NOT COVERED.
Wow, I am speechless.

February 28th, 2010 at 10:53 amStop trying to take money from the people that made it.
Being born with money is not the same as making it. I can respect someone who makes a lot of money honestly. (The key word there is “honestly”.) I have no respect for anyone who is born into wealth and yet still feels entitled to the privileges that come from having a lot of money.
And I have even less respect for greedy people, who think there’s nothing wrong with having more money than they’ll ever be able to use in their lifetimes, and thinking they have every moral right to keep every penny of it.
When half the money available is collected in the hands of a very, very small minority, the system will no longer function as it is supposed to. America is supposed to be about equality of opportunity, but people who are born into wealth have an unfair advantage over everybody else. Should you be allowed to live a life of wealth and privilege because your grandfather was the one who worked hard and made a lot of money? Because that would be hypocritical of someone who thinks we should all work for our own fortunes, and not to rely on someone else.
February 28th, 2010 at 10:54 amdochunt still thinks anyone cares what opinion he spouts here. dochunt still thinks his assessment of who or what is “communist” carries any more weight than Sizzler’s claim of who serves the best steaks.

Wayne, it goes even deeper than that doesn’t it. I mean even if they actually made the money, it wasn’t done in a vacuum.
The money that’s made is possible because we all pay taxes to support a system that allows that profitablility.
They need to pay to support the system that allowed them to make that money.
Without that system, anyone with a gun could take it away from them.
February 28th, 2010 at 10:58 amWho do you blame for George Bush’s 8 years? — Kay In Maine
**********************************************************
Actually, Kay…a better question to ask him would be:
Who does he blame for the fact that even the Wall Street Journal — which leaned right before it was purchased by Rupert Murdoch — acknowledges only three million new jobs were created during the entire time George W. Bush was in office, not even half a million jobs per year? This despite the fact that the Republican Party — supposedly the party which favors business — held the governmental trifecta (both houses of Congress plus the White House) during half of that period? And despite the tax cut which favored the wealthy and was therefore (at least ostensibly) supposed to help stimulate job growth?
Despite all this, how did George W. Bush end up dead last out of all the presidents in over fifty years in terms of job growth during his administration?

Still waiting for Kenneth’s answer to the question I posed @302 — and Ekidon’s answer to the question I posed @335…
February 28th, 2010 at 11:03 amWayne, for me, this is the key element of any debate on wealth and economic policy, and it’s one that teabaggers and wingnuts consistently ignore. For me, it’s not about any moral position. Whether someone “deserves” to keep all of the money they make isn’t the point.
For me, it’s the historical evidence that a strong middle class supports a strong overall economy, and as the gap between rich and poor grows larger, the economy becomes weaker. Progressive economic policies demonstrably improve that situation and shrink the wealth gap, while conservative policies always enlarge it, inevitably followed shortly by economic crisis.
As with most issues, it seems, conservatives choose moralistic criteria that appeals subtly to emotion rather than practical considerations that may be less emotionally satisfying.
February 28th, 2010 at 11:04 amFred,
I agree. Conservatives, like our visiting trolls, fail to understand how it was that the liberal society we’ve created in this country made it possible for someone to acquire the kind of wealth that people like them think make them better than the rest of us. These are people who equate financial success with social worth – that if you make a lot of money (or just if you HAVE a lot of money), then you must be a better person than someone who is poor. Or, conversely (and pervertedly), if you’re poor, it’s because you are not a worthy person or it’s because you made bad choices in life. There is something pathologically wrong with people who think this way.

February 28th, 2010 at 11:09 am#379 Fred-and there is NO DOUBT that Obama is the best thing to happen to America since G. Bush. It has awakened a sleeping giant in the form of an electorate that is now eager to learn how progressivism has destroyed this country. It has mobilized and coalesced voters in ways that I haven’t seen one politician be able to do in my lifetime.
The polls indicate that I’m right…a factoid that is, no doubt, weighing heavily on the Dems currently. Obama’s agenda has been disavowed by, (drum roll please), his own Party, as they HAD the super-majority in the Senate to pass whatever legislation they wanted…and they STILL couldn’t get it done…a fact that has obviously flown over your head. No surprise here.
February 28th, 2010 at 11:09 amHe’s a doctor? In what capacity? You must know because “Drhunt” won’t tell us because it’s apparently disrespectful to ask a real doctor or a person with a doctorate what field they have a doctorate in! See?
February 28th, 2010 at 11:10 amAs with most issues, it seems, conservatives choose moralistic criteria that appeals subtly to emotion rather than practical considerations that may be less emotionally satisfying.
This, ralph, is the entire key to the success of Republicans at the ballot box – they don’t have any good ideas that benefit the vast majority of people, but they do have arguments that appeal to emotions. And when our emotions are tapped, we tend to use our brains less for critical thinking. The Republicans and conservatives depend on this fact to win elections. They, quite literally, depend on the people not thinking about what they’re hearing and, instead, reacting based on their emotions. That’s why they’re always trying to frighten us, or to make us think the sky is falling and we must listen to them to be saved. Because they know that if we stop and think about what they’re saying, we’ll reject their ideas each and every time.

Main Entry: fas·cism
Pronunciation: \ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-\
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces
Date: 1921
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
How can you keep spewing this venom. Where is someone suppressing your opposition? You have a voice and are free to use it. Disagreement on social issues does not a fascist make, but I wouldn’t expect less from anyone who could allow themselves to be tricked into believing that we are going to lead in the “green” economy.
For the record I’m not a fan of Bush either, but if you want to see a real fascist look at Saddam’s record. Mass graves, shooting dissenters, screw WMD, which is constantly stated here as GW’s big lie. At least the Iraqi’s have seen there is another way for the gov’t to operate.

When has the Right precluded same sex partnerships? Just because gays can’t “marry” does not mean they can’t get equal rights under the law as partnerships. The fact that california, a very liberal State, voted same-sex marriage, is no real surprise. Certainly the liberals didn’t push through assisted suicide did they? So how is it that you point your finger of blame towards the Right when the Left hasn’t pushed for it either? And since when does abortion automatically “free” the woman’s reproductive organs from government control? We have choices…and in any law abiding, God fearing country, (which we are, in spite of what BO states), abortion should NOT be used as a form of birth control as a matter of convenience…which it is. Smoking pot? I have no problem with that…but it just drives to the root of the problems here in America…you would rather be stoned than productive.

Um, yes… it does.
And if “partnerships” as essentially the same as “marriage” why is the Right so committed to blocking semantics?
But the point that dbadass brings up has not been answered. How is blocking the right to marry in any way representative of “less government”?
The evidence says that the Right is for “less government” ONLY where it interferes with their ability to make money (or practice bigotry, i guess). When one considers social issues such as Marriage Equality, Abortion, Medical (or even recreational) Marijuana, Assisted Suicide, the Right is far more “big, intrusive government” than the Left ever has been.
The fact that you can justify this intrusive role for government (as you did above) doesn’t dismiss that issue; it simply confirms your hypocrisy.

Assuming that everyone who’s poor and/or unemployed is lazy is the quintessential Social Darwinist argument. We can’t all be stockbrokers, unfortunately — and there are plenty of people in this country who perform thankless jobs, sometimes more than one, for low pay which in an increasing number of cases is not always enough to cover all their expenses but just enough to keep them from receiving any assistance. These jobs need to be done, and the people who do them are still doing what they can to contribute to society — but instead of treating them with respect, people like you turn up your high-and-mighty noses at them and label them “lazy”. Yes, it’s true that there are people who are lazy and don’t want to work…but regardless of what you choose to believe, this is by no means true of everyone who’s less fortunate than you. Contrary to what you might want to believe, net worth does not say anything about one’s worth as a person — and just because someone’s worth less doesn’t automatically mean they’re worthless.

Does he have like a cool titanium one now or something like that or just a nub? Atleast I hope he has a cool scar he can freak the girls out with…
Can you imagine a life where you just make shit up online for attention? It is so sad and pitiful yet intriguing in a bizarre sort of way…
February 28th, 2010 at 12:05 pmMy apologies, dbadass… I was about to congratulate you for playing the fake doc like a Stradivarius; enticing him into justifying government intrusion mere moments after he had boldly asserted that conservatives believe in “small government staying out of our business”.
It was a masterful performance, and I am ashamed to have blunted its impact by my over-eagerness to take a short jump shot when you were working for an easy layup.

To drrunt……NO it wasn’t the progressives who created the FED it was a group of wealthy REPUBLICANS including bankers such as JP Morgan and John Rockefeller along with republican senator Nelson Aldrich who plotted and planned the creation of the FED it at a country club for the elite on an Island called Jekyll Island off of the coast of Georgia. Please get some education before spouting off idiocies. Oh and before you say it, yes Woodrow Wilson signed off on the bill but it was republicans who created and pushed the bill and had it voted on before Christmas vacation in 1913 when many senators had already left town.

February 28th, 2010 at 12:13 pmNote to the idiot dr.runt, Rockefeller was a businessman, JP Morgan was the banker among other republican bankers and wealthy republican businessmen who created the FED.

For your information, the National Prohibition Act was passed by Congress in spite of a Presidential veto by Woodrow Wilson — and it was passed in response to strong pressure from the Temperance Movement, which had the support of religious conservatives such as Billy Sunday as well as feminist progressives such as Susan B. Anthony.
For future reference, before automatically assuming that anything passed by a Democratic president must have been a purely progressive idea, perhaps it would behoove you to do at least the minimal amount of fact-checking?

February 28th, 2010 at 12:17 pmInsidious Prophet-Wilson didn’t just “sign off” on the Bill that created the Fed…he actively promoted it.
“Centralized banking was met with much opposition from politicians, who were suspicious of a central bank and who charged that Aldrich was biased due to his close ties to wealthy bankers such as J.P. Morgan and his daughter’s marriage to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Aldrich fought for a private bank with little government influence, but conceded that the government should be represented on the Board of Directors. Most Republicans favored the Aldrich Plan,[26] but it lacked enough support in the bipartisan Congress to pass because rural and western states viewed it as favoring the “eastern establishment”.[5] Progressive Democrats instead favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government and out of control of the “money trust,” ending Wall Street’s control of the American currency supply.”
February 28th, 2010 at 12:18 pmNor did dbadass preface HIS statements by writing that he smoked pot or abstained.
The logically consistent ones are, anyway… but then, so are most progressives.
Still, you have yet to reconcile your insistence that “conservatives generally believe in small government, and that small government staying out of our business “ with the oft-noted social intrusions that conservatives routinely and fervently support.
February 28th, 2010 at 12:20 pmBluestocking, dr.runt and the other trolls never do any fact checking. They just go to sites like Drudge or Malkin and report their biased ramblings as fact.
Note the little coward dr.runt has already been proven wrong on two accusations he made by yourself and I but the little coward won’t admit he was wrong. It takes a man to admit he was wrong so I suppose we can guess that dr.hunt is a highly uneducated little boy.

“While the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibited the production, etc., of “intoxicating liquors”, it did not define “intoxicating liquors”. A statute would be needed to define the term and implement the Amendment. A bill to do so was introduced in Congress in 1919.
The bill was vetoed by President Woodrow Wilson (largely on technical grounds, because it also covered wartime prohibition) but his veto was overridden by Congress on the same day, October 28, 1919.”

Duh! dr.runt are you stupid? Do you not understand the meaning of that sentence? Do you think because it has the word Progressive in it that it’s proof of something evil?
BAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Free lesson for dr.runt: The Progressives were fighting for exactly what you and I probably would agree to. A Central banking system run by the US Treasury Department. In which the US Treasury prints and mints our currency.
Instead the Federal Reserve type banking system was created. Where the Federal Reserve prints up the money for the US treasury and charges interest on every dollar they print for the US Treasury. The FED is also a privately owned business ran by international bankers. ARE YOU REALLY THIS STUPID?

No…conservatives generally believe in small government, and that small government staying out of our business. Conservatives believe that freedom is a God given right, and that includes the freedom to succeed OR fail.
I need you to explain what exactly you mean by the term “small government”. Do you mean fewer employees? Do you mean fewer regulations? Do you mean less spending of money? I hear “small government” from conservatives all the time, conservatives who supported George W. Bush in every single thing he tried to do, and yet George W. Bush made government bigger in every sense of the word. There were more people employed by the federal government under Bush. The Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act were stark expansions of government power. And spending (irresponsible spending, at that) went through the roof under Bush. Yet it was the conservatives in this country, not the liberals, who got him

Progressives want an utopian, nanny State, where the gub’mint takes care of everything…pays your rent/mortgage, buys your gas(Peggy Joseph is the poster-child for that thinking), buys you a house, even provides health care at no real cost to those that can’t afford it, (mainly because they’re too lazy to work).
First of all, I have no idea who Peggy Joseph is, so I’ll just say that she doesn’t represent me in any way. How little you understand what we would like. It’s not that we want the government to do all that for everybody, we just don’t want to see anyone have to die for lack of any of that kind of social care. I know you conservatives are happy when poor people die, but we tend to care more about them than you. I find your belief that poor people are poor because they’re lazy, or don’t want to work, to be highly offensive. I also find it completely unsupportable by the facts. Then again, when do you ever concern yourself with being factually correct in your belief systems?
February 28th, 2010 at 12:29 pmDon’t y’all love how dochunt has to reach back almost a hundred years to find something that he thinks he can use to tar progressives?
It’s like when trolls reach back to Reconstruction to try to “prove” that Republicans of today are the REAL friend of the African-American.
February 28th, 2010 at 12:31 pm#472 Insidious Prophet-it appears that I nailed you to the proverbial progressive dart board. “Are you this stupid” is a question you need to ask yourself. Government control of our banking system IS a progressive mantra. You stated that Wilson did NOT support the legislation that created the Fed, yet you’re now seriously backtracking on that statement. You stated that Wilson only signed the Bill into law…but he not only did that, he favored, as did other progressive dems, the creation of the Fed in the first place.

Thank you dr.runt1 for proving:
1-That the republicans created and supported the creation of the Federal Reserve.

Number one, change has happened and continues to happen. repugs can’t stop that. I guess officially electing the First African-American, Black President of the United States of America isn’t a start. President Obama has done more than his share in the first year. Besides, these stupid repugs are actually wanting change from chimpy and believe that hasn’t happened, we are still under chimpy’s reign. We are, in fact, under the after effects of chimpy’s piss poor reign. Talk about stupid.

Also, you can either italicize or blockquote the other person, you do not need to do both. Lastly, you can make your comment in regular font, you do not need to boldface it.
As to what you said, I notice you did not refute what I said about Republicans using emotions to win elections. As for “watch and see the shills at work”, do you mean the Republican shills for the health insurance industry? Yeah, I saw them.

*******************************************************
From appearances, your response merely proves my point — you’re clearly determined to believe that anyone and everyone who works in a store or a restaurant or a customer-service call center doesn’t have a real job and therefore doesn’t count. Most people work those kinds of jobs because that’s what they can get — or are you unaware of the fact that a majority of people in this country don’t have college degrees and often find it harder to advance as a result? And before you go there…it’s no small feat to pursue a degree while working full-time or even part-time (provided that you have the money to do it in the first place) and especially not when you have children. (If it comes to that, consider the number of people in this country with college degrees who are staggering under the burden of student loans because of how expensive it has become to go to college.)
I can’t deny the fact that unions have their disadvantages as well as their advantages — but like it or not, the plain and simple truth is that most Americans owe most of the benefits of the modern workplace (such as safety regulations) to the unions. Most modern Americans would be appalled and refuse to work under the conditions which most workers were forced to endure in the early days of the Industrial Revolution.
February 28th, 2010 at 12:47 pm#474 Wayne-thanks for the reasoned and considerate post.
Yes…small government is one with fewer employees, less regulations, less overhead, less burden on taxpayers. Take the Dept of Energy, for instance, (there are many more bureaucracies that could apply). The DOE was created in 1977 by Carter to explore how we as a nation can become less dependant on foreign energy…so what have they done since? Nothing. Their budget this year alone is $25B, for what? Take a hard look at California. Calif is the “canary-in-the-coal-mine” for the rest of this nation. Excessive taxes to pay for a bloated government and voluminous entitlement programs have bankrupted the eighth biggest economy in the world. Imagine that. It’s the Progressive liberals in California that have run this economy into the dirt…the Dems have been in control of this State for YEARS.
Conservatives HAD to back Bush, what choice did we have? Gore? Kerry? Please! For the first several years Bush “was” a fiscal conservative, but all that changed after the war started, and I have no explanation why. Perhaps his book will be informative on this subject. He tried to regulate the GSE’s, he tried to get us thinking about social security investments and TORT reform for lowering health care costs. And while it’s true that the Patriot Act and MCA were intrusive items, I do believe that he was “acting in our best interests” at the time. The fact that they are still in place under Obama is telling, even though I don’t agree with them continuing.

February 28th, 2010 at 12:52 pmSo, Dr Hunt, what you are saying is that you believe it is Constitutional for our State to deny churches the right to perform a RELIGIOUS ceremony that only concerns consenting adults, and acknowledge such a union in the eyes of THEIR God? You do realize this, I hope. You do realize that your position not only creates unequal rights on the ground and yet another “separate but equal” civil situation, but it also flat out, point blank denies CHURCHES and other religious organizations from engaging in religious ceremonies they wish to with equal weight in the eyes of the law as other religious organizations enjoy, right?
Moreover, you are saying that any non-same-sex couple needs to have thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of legal aid to write up contracts so detailed and comprehensive that they cover the entire spectrum of what the rather extensive area of contract law that covers marriage entails? That, or the entirety of marriage contract law should in turn be broadened such that the term “civil union” and/or “domestic partnership” be added whole hog to every single solitary piece of legislation regarding said subject?
What a pathetically laughable position.
What would you say if the State likewise stepped in and made it law that Catholics cannot marry (but can have a civil union with) Protestants, that the Irish cannot marry (but may have a civil union with) the Scottish, that no one can marry (but may join in a civil union) if there are more than 20 years difference in age, that atheists and/or agnostics cannot marry at all (but may have a civil union), that all marriages (but not civil unions) that do not produce a child within the first 5 years are automatically dissolved, and so on, and so forth? Because THAT is how pathetically arbitrary this is.
No, see, the problem is that you want to enforce your dogmatic beliefs on others, yet you do not want to say that publicly for you on some level understand how hypocritical and unconstitutional it is.
Really, all that needs to happen is that the term marriage as defined legally simply needs to include the contractual, state-acknowledged union of two (or more) consenting adults to join their assets together in the manner the state currently acknowledges such unions between one man and one woman, but the colloquial use of the term marriage remains intact such that certain churches can define it one way, and others in another way. The end. But, you see, the fundamentalists cannot allow such a thing. Why? The moment that the definition of marriage is very specific in the eyes of the law, and otherwise left to the individual churches and religious groups within the eyes of said group, that wedge issue disappears. The ONLY reason it is effective AT ALL at the moment is because the dogmatists have the weight of law backing their perverse view, as two disparate meanings of a specific term (marriage) are conflated. The moment a church is allowed to legally acknowledge the union of two members of the same sex, while those churches who do not wish to acknowledge such unions may continue to not do so, the entire fundie stance will crumble in precisely the same manner it did with regards to anti-miscegenation.
And they know it.
So they’re fighting tooth and nail to keep this unconstitutional double standard on the books, and away from the SCOTUS as they can. The moment it goes before a SCOTUS, unless perhaps (and only perhaps) that SCOTUS is astonishingly activist in nature, the fundies lose, lose, lose.
Hypocrite. Stop pushing your dogma on the rest of us, and stop denying loving relationships from enjoying the same weight of law as those relationships YOU happen to cherish.
February 28th, 2010 at 12:53 pmWhere did dr.runt1 run off to?
Did the little coward finally take the time to read and understand what he read? Did a little light bulb finally go off in his pea sized brain? Did he finally realize that he was totally wrong and did not understand what he was reading.
Did he not understand that republican senator Nelson Aldrichs plan was in fact the creation of the Federal Reserve?
Did he not understand that the Progressives who were against the Aldrich plan and favored a government owned and operated reserve banking system meant that the Progressives were all for a government controlled reserve banking system NOT a reserve banking system ran by Wall Street types like Rockefeller, Warburg, Morgan….?
I swear to God I have seem some very ignorant arguments made here by trolls over the year but the recent one made by dr.runt1 takes the cake as the most dumbest, most asinine, most clueless argument I have ever seen in my life!

“The chief of the bipartisan National Monetary Commission was financial expert and Senate Republican leader Nelson Aldrich. Aldrich set up two commissions—one to study the American monetary system in depth and the other, headed by Aldrich himself, to study the European central-banking systems and report on them.[21] Aldrich went to Europe opposed to centralized banking, but after viewing Germany’s monetary system he came away believing that a centralized bank was better than the government-issued bond system that he had previously supported.”
“Centralized banking was met with much opposition from politicians, who were suspicious of a central bank and who charged that Aldrich was biased due to his close ties to wealthy bankers such as J.P. Morgan and his daughter’s marriage to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Aldrich fought for a private bank with little government influence, but conceded that the government should be represented on the Board of Directors. Most Republicans favored the Aldrich Plan,[26] but it lacked enough support in the bipartisan Congress to pass because rural and western states viewed it as favoring the “eastern establishment”.[5] Progressive Democrats instead favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government and out of control of the “money trust,” ending Wall Street’s control of the American currency supply.[26] Conservative Democrats fought for a privately owned, yet decentralized, reserve system, which would still be free of Wall Street’s control.[26] The Federal Reserve Act passed Congress in late 1913[27][28] on a mostly partisan basis, with most all Democrats in support and most Republicans against it.[29] The plan that was adopted as the Federal Reserve Act had similarities to the Aldrich plan, but the balance of public and private control was modified.[5][29]
February 28th, 2010 at 1:01 pmdr.runt has returned.
Explain to me dr.runt what this sentence means?
Republicans support Aldrichs plan
Than read very slowly about what Aldrichs plan was. Here is a hint. It was the creation of the Federal Reserve bank which would be owned and operated as a private business by wealthy bankers and Wall Street types.
Than dr.runt try and explain the meaning of this:
Progressive Democrats instead favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government and out of control of the “money trust,” ending Wall Street’s control of the American currency supply.”
I will attempt to educate you one more time with the hope that you do not look so incredibly stupid in the future.
Progressive Democrats were against a privately owned and operated reserve banking system being pushed by Republican senator Nelson Aldrich. Progress democrats wanted our reserve banking system owned and operated by the government ie the US Treasury.
Now for more history read about what Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson thought about private reserve banking systems who could charge the government high interest rates on money they printed for the government as opposed to the government, through the congresses constitutional power to print and coin the US currency…..interest free.

Is it too much trouble to provide a link to your source? For all we know, you may have edited what you quoted and just assumed none of us would check.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:06 pmTyranny of the masses is no excuse. That is a tired, worn out stance that has zero merits, and was in fact pointedly one of the intentions of our democratic republic as the Founders set up our government. The problem in California is that ballot initiatives that can have weight of law are put up to a straight up or down vote of the citizenry. That puts a firm grip of “tyranny of the masses” in the hands of that state, which is precisely contrary to the intentions of our system of governance as it was laid out by our Founders.
You also assert that California is a “very liberal” state. Ha, that is laughable. California is very much on the fence when the entire population of the state is observed. Just because Orange County is a liberal bastion, and the populace is just barely leaning blue in the state on average, doesn’t make the state “very liberal”.
What’s your position on slavery than, sir? To use the metric of standards you state in the above post, the only logical conclusion one can reach is that you believe the Southern states should in fact be allowed to own slaves, simply because the majority says so. And a majority, well over even 66.6%, would indeed have voted in favor of keeping slavery were it put up to such a vote. Their representatives, too, would have voted in such a manner.
You also, per your own standard posted multiple times in this thread and others, simply must believe that any state who votes against interracial marriages should have that vote and the resulting law upheld, and thus in such states such unions should be illegal. To assert a position contrary to that would be hypocritical.
Why do you think I specifically pointed out the need for the issue to go before the SCOTUS, sir? You think such inanity as what you posted hasn’t occurred to me? You overestimate yourself.
So, about that rhetorical spanking you inquired about earlier of another poster…how DOES that feel, anyhow? I am afraid I’ve not been privvy to such a position yet, but you quite obviously have.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:08 pmThe bill was vetoed by President Woodrow Wilson (largely on technical grounds, because it also covered wartime prohibition) but his veto was overridden by Congress on the same day, October 28, 1919.” — DRHunt1
*********************************************************
If you’re going to copy-and-paste a direct quote, the very least you could do in the interest of courtesy and respect (let alone ethics) is to cite your source. And you accuse other people of being lazy???? It would have taken you all of five additional seconds…
Your response also doesn’t change the essential facts — regardless of his reasons, Wilson chose to veto the bill and Congress passed it anyway by overriding his veto. It also doesn’t change the fact that Prohibition was supported by conservatives as well as progressives. You should also take into account the fact that Wilson suffered a severe stroke in the earlier part of October 1919 which left him bedridden for weeks and confined to a wheelchair for several months after that attended almost exclusively by his wife and his doctor — so any claims regarding Wilson’s motivations for vetoing the bill are at least somewhat subject to speculation.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:10 pmNow does anyone know if Wilson had a real doctor or a pretend doctor?
February 28th, 2010 at 1:11 pmInsidious Prophet-first you write: “Did he not understand that republican senator Nelson Aldrichs plan was in fact the creation of the Federal Reserve?”
But then when shown that Aldrich’s plan was voted against, still doesn’t quite understand. OK…let’s try this again…
“Progressive Democrats instead favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government and out of control of the “money trust,” ending Wall Street’s control of the American currency supply.[26] Conservative Democrats fought for a privately owned, yet decentralized, reserve system, which would still be free of Wall Street’s control.[26] The Federal Reserve Act passed Congress in late 1913[27][28] on a mostly partisan basis, with most all Democrats in support and most Republicans against it.”
February 28th, 2010 at 1:13 pmThe clubhouse is where the Federal Reserve System was created. Let’s retell that story in detail and see how it came about. The year was 1910, that was three years before the Federal Reserve Act was finally passed into law. It was November of that year when Senator Nelson Aldrich sent his private railroad car to the railroad station in New Jersey and there it was in readiness for the arrival of himself and six other men who were told to come under conditions of great secrecy. For example, they were told to arrive one at a time and not to dine with each other on the night of their departure. They were told that should they arrive at the station at the same time they should pretend like they didn’t even know each other. They were instructed to avoid newspaper reporters at all cost because they were well-known people and had they been seen by a reporter they would’ve asked questions. Especially if two or three of them had been spotted together, this would’ve raised eyebrows and they would’ve asked a lot of questions. One of the men carried a shotgun in a big black case so that if he had been stopped and asked where he was going he was prepared to say that he was going on a duck hunting trip. The interesting thing about that part of the story is that we find out later from his biographer that this man never fired a gun in his life, in fact he borrowed that shotgun just to carry with him on this trip as part of the deception.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:14 pm#505 let’s try this again…
“Progressive Democrats instead favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government and out of control of the “money trust,” ending Wall Street’s control of the American currency supply.[26] Conservative Democrats fought for a privately owned, yet decentralized, reserve system, which would still be free of Wall Street’s control.[26] The Federal Reserve Act passed Congress in late 1913[27][28] on a mostly partisan basis, with most all Democrats in support and most Republicans against it.”
February 28th, 2010 at 1:14 pmOnce they got on board the private railroad car this pattern continued. They were told to use first names only, not to use their last names at all. A couple of the men even adopted code-names. The reason for that is so that the servants on board the train would not know who these people were. They were afraid that if the servants would talk about it then the word would leak out and it might get into the press. They traveled for two nights and a day on board this car and they arrived after a 1,000 mile journey to Brunswick, Georgia. From there they took a ferry across the inland straits and they ended up on Jekyll Island in the clubhouse where for the next nine days they sat around the table and hammered out all the important details of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System. When they were done they went back to New York.
For quite a few years thereafter these men denied that any such meeting took place. It wasn’t until after the Federal Reserve System was firmly established that they then began to talk openly about their journey and what they accomplished. Several of them wrote books on the topic, one of them wrote a magazine article and they gave interviews to newspaper reporters so now it’s possible to go into the public record and document quite clearly and in detail what happened there.

February 28th, 2010 at 1:15 pm507
February 28th, 2010 at 1:15 pmLet’s try this again. Which f ucking leg was it you useless piece of lying shit….
Who were these seven men? The first one I have already mentioned, Senator Nelson Aldrich was the Republican whip in the Senate, he was the chairman of the National Monetary Commission which was the special committee of Congress created for the purpose of making a recommendation to Congress for proposed legislation to reform banking. The public was quite concerned in those days over what was going on in the banking industry; a lot of banks were folding, people were losing their investments in banks, they had broken their promise to guard the depositors assets, there were runs on the bank, banks couldn’t give the people their money back. In particular they were concerned over the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few large banks in New York on Wall Street. This is what they called the “money trust” in those days. The money trust was a common phrase. Quite a few politicians had been elected to office on their campaign promise to break the grip of the money trust. President Wilson was one of those politicians that campaigned on that even though Wilson was himself hand-picked by the money trust and financed by the money trust and surrounded by the money trust–all of his advisors and politic cronies. The public didn’t know that at the time and it was a popular issue. If you campaigned against the money trust you were quite apt to be elected and that was what I call “the people you love to hate” money trust.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:16 pmThat was one of the purposes of the National Monetary Commission which was to propose legislation to break the grip of the money trust and Aldrich was chairman of that committee. He was also the very important business associate of J. P. Morgan. He was the father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. which means that eventually he became the grandfather of Nelson Rockefeller, our former vice-president. You remember his full name was Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller; his middle name being derived from his famous grandfather.
The second important person there was Abraham Andrew who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He later became a Congressman and he was very important in banking circles.
Frank Vanderlip was there. He was the President of the National City Bank of New York which was the largest of all of the banks in America representing the financial interests of William Rockefeller and the international investment firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company.
Henry Davison was there, the senior partner of the J. P. Morgan Company. Charles Norton was there; he was the President of the First National Bank of New York which was another one of the giants. Benjamin Strong was at the meeting; he was the head of J. P. Morgan’s Banker’s Trust Company and Benjamin Strong three years later would become the first head of the Federal Reserve System.
Finally, there was Paul Warburg who was probably the most important at the meeting because of his knowledge of banking as it was practiced in Europe. Paul Warburg was born in Germany and eventually became a naturalized American citizen. He was a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Company and was a representative of the Rothschild banking dynasty in England and France where he maintained very close working relationships throughout his entire career with his brother, Max Warburg, who was the head of the Warburg banking consortium in Germany and the Netherlands. Paul Warburg was one of the wealthiest men in the world. In fact, those of you who are Little Orphan Annie fans will remember Daddy Warbucks. Daddy Warbucks was the characterization of Paul Warburg and everyone at the time was well aware of that fact. I have his photograph in my book and if you compare the photograph to the cartoon drawing you’ll see the resemblance between Paul WARburg and Daddy WARbucks. And while we’re on the topic of cartoon characters, if you played Monopoly, you remember the drawing of the capitalist with the handle-bar mustache and the cigar? That’s J. P. Morgan.

drhunt,
Please cite your source or provide a link. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to assign it the same credibility as if you had written it yourself.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:19 pmAs an addendum to my previous post…
DR, you should also consider the fact that when the 66th Congress passed the National Prohibition Act — which, for your information, was the one passed in October of 1919 and not the bill used to create the Eighteenth Amendment — both houses of Congress were controlled by the Republicans.
As I said before, you really could stand to do a little more fact-checking before you post…because like it or not, the fact is that I’ve more or less cleaned your clock on this one.

I mean you could just go away but I realize your obsession with this site and your need for attention probably makes that unlikely. So why not start fresh and just admit that kid with the leg shit was complete crap….
dr.runt says, lets try this again.
Oh how cute, he is proven he doesn’t no what he’s talking about and than changes the word progressive democrats to conservative democrats as if it matters. The little pinhead still doesn’t get and denies that republicans supported the creation of the Federal Reserve Banking System.
Of course the little clueless pinhead keeps posting that Progressive Democrats instead favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government and out of control of the “money trust,” ending Wall Street’s control of the American currency supply.
Hello…? Do you have a working brain? Do you not compehend what you are reading. Progressive democrats were against Wall Street control of the American currency supply….Duh, that sounds like a good thing to any intelligent American.
So keep on posting cut and pasted articles without links to prove that you have altered them to fit your own stupidity.
As I said earlier dr.runt. You are way out of your league when it comes to the history of the Federal Reserve but this doesn’t mean you cannot recreat history to prove your dishonest rhetoric.
You my friend have been punked again!
February 28th, 2010 at 1:25 pm#502 Moderator-tyranny of the masses? Is that what you call Prop 8 in California? Wow! Last time I looked Obama was elected by that same mechanism, sans the popular vote dictum, although he won that count as well. Perhaps you are right.

February 28th, 2010 at 1:30 pm“The banking and currency reform plan advocated by President Wilson in 1913 was sponsored by the chairmen of the House and Senate Banking and Currency committees, Representative Carter Glass, a Democrat of Virginia and Senator Robert Latham Owen, a Democrat of Oklahoma. According to the House committee report accompanying the Currency bill (H.R. 7837) or the Glass-Owen bill, as it was often called during the time, the legislation was drafted from ideas taken from various proposals, including Aldrich bill.[6] However, unlike the Aldrich plan which gave controlling interest to private bankers with only a small public presence, the new plan gave controlling interest to a public entity, the Federal Reserve Board, with a measure of autonomy to Reserve Banks which, for a period of time, were allowed to set their district’s own discount rate. Also, instead of the proposed currency being an obligation of the private banks, the new Federal Reserve note was to be an obligation of the U.S. Treasury. In addition, unlike the Aldrich plan, membership by nationally chartered banks was mandatory, not optional.”

February 28th, 2010 at 1:35 pmI hope the pretend doctor cut up and pasted that kid as well as he does uncited text. What a complete asshat. Again imagine this is your life. It is sad yet intriguing. I suppose this is why I enjoy speaking to the homeless and mentally ill so much…
February 28th, 2010 at 1:37 pmElections of representatives =/= up or down votes by the citizenry on legal and legislative issues. The very fact that you feel such a comparison is remotely valid should tell all the good (and bad) folks in this forum everything they need to know about your intellectual measure and/or honesty.
You honestly think a constitutionally mandated basis such as electing officials is equal to the citizenry directly voting on a law?
Note how you didn’t rebut a single substantive point I’ve made. Nary a one. Nope, one-liners that are fallacious is the best you can muster I suppose. I’m not overly surprised, yet I remain disappointed.
So, once again, what’s your stance on anti-miscegenation, or slavery, or any other number of disparate subjects that most assuredly WOULD now, or in the past when appropriately brought up before We the People, be voted in favor of by said People, yet never upheld by the SCOTUS? C’mon, you can do it! Surely you can answer such a simply query, yes?
February 28th, 2010 at 1:40 pmNote to TP denizens:
The topic of this thread is supposed to be Van Jones and Glenn Beck…and unfortunately, even though we’ve managed to refute DRHunt’s arguments, it cannot be denied that we’ve unwisely allowed him to hijack the thread and lead our attention away from the matter at hand (which is probably exactly what he wanted). I recommend that we regroup and ignore any future attempts on DR’s part to derail the thread.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:42 pmCarter Glass, a Democrat of Virginia and Senator Robert Latham Owen, a Democrat of Oklahoma.
Very good dr.runt1.
Do you know about Glass or Owen? Yes they were democrats. They were also very wealthy. Aldrich and the others behind the creation of the Federal Reserve knew they couldn’t get bipartisan support for the bill so they recruited Glass and Owen.
Does this excuse Glass and Owen? No? This was a way to fool the rest of congress into supporting the bill. Originally Aldrich was going to put his name on the bill but was told his name attached to any banking reform bill would cause suspicion. Than of course the bankers used reverse psychology to help get support by going public and saying the bill was a bad bill. Most in congress in public fell for the ploy, thinking if the wealthy bankers are against the bill it must be a good bill….the rest is history.
You can spin the history all you want to but you cannot rewrite history to back your own facts. And the fact is as you orginally stated, Most Republicans Support Aldrich Plan
So in essence you unknowingly or cluelessly support the federal reserve.
Now shall we move on to how republican senator Phil Gramm pushed for the repeal of The Glass-Steagall Act and pushed for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which helped lead to our current financial mess.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:43 pmI agree Bluestocking! I will end with the free FED lesson for the very ignorant dr.runt1.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:44 pmI recommend that we regroup and ignore any future attempts on DR’s part to derail the thread.

**********************************************************
Isn’t it cute the way Ekidon implies that one guy in New Zealand with a blog — a guy who supports a minority party within his own government at that (the ACT Party, which only won 3.65% of the popular vote in the last election) — represents the beliefs of the majority of New Zealanders?
For that matter, why does it really matter what one guy in New Zealand thinks about our government? Is New Zealand a major player on the international stage? No disrespect…but no, not really. Is this man a major figure in New Zealand politics? He doesn’t appear to be. Can he vote in our elections? No. Is there much chance that this issue will affect him directly in any way? No. So why is his opinion by itself particularly significant? Would he give a damn what an American thinks of his government — provided, of course, that he could find an American who actually knows something about the New Zealand Parliament? Uh, no — probably not. So why does he — especially as a soi-disant libertarian! — think it’s his right and his business to stick his oar in on this issue when he doesn’t have any power to do anything about it and it doesn’t affect him in any meaningful way?
February 28th, 2010 at 4:08 pmNo what I am amazed at is that anyone in New Zealand would give one cent to even care who Van Jones was, much less be concerned enough to report on it. How many New-zealanders have you looked up until today?

************************************************************
It all depends on the specific search parameters you use, dude (which I notice you chose not to provide) — you know that as well as I do. Use the right combination of search terms, and you might pull up links which contain all the variables you wanted but which might very well have been buried many pages deep in a broader search because other sites which might have come up don’t have one of the pieces you wanted. I also know that everything looks yellow to a jaundiced eye…and that if you’re determined to find something, you usually don’t have to look too hard to find it. Finally — as I told someone else here on TP not all that long ago — hits don’t automatically mean that someone has a “following”. All they really signify is curiosity. If the number of hits on a monthly basis stays stable or grows ever time, then you can say that this person has a following — but individual hits do not necessarily count as followers. You’re going to have to do better than that.
And besides, when did any of us here claim to be “gods of community organization”?? Now you’re just being ridiculous. I’ve certainly never made such a preposterous claim, nor would I ever, and I don’t know anyone else here who has.
Just in passing…how come you avoided answering the question I posed to you @335? I never did get an answer to that one…

Flagged for spamming. Your post is not relevant to the focus of this site, never mind this thread. Why would anyone want to buy anything from people who clearly don’t understand the principles of good marketing?

I agree. I once had a verboisty that was slightly undercooked and was puking my guts out for a week.

February 28th, 2010 at 8:36 pmI notice that when responding to Jones’s comment, Beck still couldn’t resist taking a shot at him. Clearly, Beck doesn’t comprehend that an olive branch is not meant to be used as a weapon…
I stand by what I said before — no matter what religious beliefs Jones might have (if any), he has in the course of this exchange actually done a better job than Beck (the self-professed Christian) has at embodying the principles advocated by Jesus of Nazareth.

February 28th, 2010 at 10:36 pmLovely “Christian” justification there, “Doc.”
“What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’ (Matthew 5:11)
You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? (Matthew 5:43-47)
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. (Matthew 7:3-5)
Do to others as you would like them to do unto to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12)
Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me.’ (Matthew 21:41-45)
Don’t let evil overcome you, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21)
And most of those words came from the mouth of the man whom Christians would consider the ultimate authority!

A little reminder, dude…”all whom contribute here” means you’re not exempt, either. As I’ve observed in the past, I at least try to address someone’s argument respectfully instead of merely resorting to ad hominems. I can’t deny that there are plenty of people on this board (on both sides) who can’t say the same…but the only behavior I can do anything to control is my own.

“Doc”?
February 28th, 2010 at 11:35 pm#598 Bob-I think that post #597 pretty well describes the fact that I haven’t lied. Basically, I stated that I was a doctor but only after a week or so of anonymity. It was only during a discussing about abortion and Dr. Tiller that I revealed that I was. Further, I stated I was a doctor but never divulged what doctorate degree I received. It’s all there in the post…no lies…just lame attempts by cretins thinking that they can refute my message by trying to attack the messengers’ credibility.
Doesn’t work….and the compilation above fairly well proves my point.

Your weak word choices (”I think” and “pretty well”) would suggest you’re even trying to convince yourself that you’re not a liar.
drhunt says:

You can assure us Tiller was a hack because you have—what, a PhD in anthropology? Who apparently happens to hang out with physicians?
Keep digging…
March 1st, 2010 at 12:08 am‘dr’ in what twisted world does “As a doctor myself” dwarf into “I never state I was an MD”?
You opined on a thread about a physician (Dr. Tiller) attempting to portray ‘expertise’ on the subject. (no mention of a fake ‘doctorate’).
Then state you never said you were an MD.
March 1st, 2010 at 12:12 amebbAndFlow-that’s correct…I never stated what doctorate degree I achieved. Bugs you…doesn’t it? The fact remains that I have not lied, and your attempts to discredit me are merely vaporware…a waste of bandwidth. I expect that type of response, however, from the weak of thought and feeble-minded contributors here…I knew “going in” that my attack on progressivism would not make me Mr. Popular.
Refute my thoughts…argue your position…debate the facts…but attacking my “credibility” only demonstrates a lack of knowledge and intelligence on your part.
March 1st, 2010 at 12:56 am#600 Bob-for all you know, I could be a doctor of pharmacology that works at a hospital. But wtf difference does it really make? How does my profession mean diddly-squat when we’re having a debate about political issues? I mean REALLY? What the heck do you care what I do “for a living”? You should be more concerned about the content of my posts, less worried about my day job and more worried about yours. It really shows an incredible lack of depth on your part.
March 1st, 2010 at 1:10 am‘dr’
It really doesn’t matter what role you choose to play on the internet – veracity is the key.
You are a doctor as I am a Falco peregrinus that can type. And you still don’t know if I’m a tiercel or a falcon – it really doesn’t matter.

March 1st, 2010 at 1:39 amIf you compare the two of them, Jones sounds like a real Christian and Beck sounds like a non-Christian. Jones makes Beck look like a real monster. Jones has real class that Beck can never even get close to. Beck is just so full of himself and it is his most disgusting trait.
