Ya.... typically used for when someone accuses someone else of being what they are. Same as "look in the mirror".


I stand by my statement that obviously you are too stupid to be on here unsupervised. You've also done one hell of a great job of derailing and moving attention away from the idiot teddy.

I only have one reponse to these fantasy articles such as teddy's...............



The National Park Service this morning formally announced its intent to proceed with the modification of the Mt. Rushmore monument in Keystone, South Dakota to incorporate the bust of President Barack Obama. The modification to the monument is scheduled to begin in late 2015, with a target date of September, 2018 for completion. The official announcement will be made Monday morning at the NPS' Washington DC offices.


The project will involve several hundred miners and engineers and will utilize state of the art machinery and environmentally-friendly(?) solvents to re-create Obama's bust in the area adjacent to the George Washington visage. The three-year completion time is admittedly optimistic given the fact that the original monument took a total of fourteen years to construct. Unlike the original effort, however, which relied on workers affixed to the top of the monument via rope harnesses, hydraulic lifts are expected to be placed with telescoping platforms, employing much of the same engineering technology currently in use to reconstruct the World Trade Center. The monument will remain open during the new construction period.

For those who question the Electoral timing of this, you may not be aware it has been in the works since 2010, and has less to do with the Obama Administration (which initially was lukewarm to the proposal) and more to do with the preferences of several multi-national corporations that expect to profit from the increased tourism the modification is supposed to attract. Several renderings for the monument have been submitted thus far and there has been no final decision as to the portraiture that will ultimately be used. This is one of several tentative renderings, vetted by sculptor Irving Gneus who is overseeing the project for the Park Service:



As this is literally a breaking story, there is little Republican reaction to assess. When the subject was breached in 2011 on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said:
"If this becomes a reality I will personally strap a load of C5 to my stomach and lower myself down onto the Obama sculpture's nose."

Mitt Romney:
stated that he won't be visiting the monument as he owns no homes in South Dakota and doesn't care for the people there. "Flyover territory for me."
Sarah Palin:
"Thomas Jefferson should be added to the monument, not Obama. After all, he wrote the friggin' Constitution, didn't he?"
John McCain:
refused to respond to reporter's questions.
Witnesses outside of Fox News' headquarters on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan this morning reported hearing several muffled "explosions" or "pops" apparently emanating from behind the walls of the Fox studios. Ambulances were dispatched to reports of oddly duplicative, catastrophic head injuries. This story continues to develop...


- The author of the blog 'Lonely Conservative' certainly makes a cogent case for this opinion, arguing that honesty, enterprise, self reliance and other character traits formerly seen as being virtues that made America great have been replaced in the political realm by dishonesty, opportunism, bribery, hypocrisy, deception and manipulation
By Lonely Conservative

How many times have you read or heard some pundit in the past two weeks slamming Romney because he wasn’t able to defeat the Chicago Machine? NONE

They say he didn’t identify with average voters the way Obama does. He dosen't relate to the average person. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and never associated with the riff-raff.

(If only the voters were aware of Mrs. Obama’s patient dumping scheme.) Yes if this was true, that would have changed things......


After the election our side tut-tutted when Romney said Obama bought votes with his lavish welfare spending. $29.00 a week food stamps is the good times......If anything, Romney’s biggest problem was walking away from his initial diagnosis of the problem. Which was .???
Romney missed a golden opportunity to display boldness, uniqueness. He was unique...who else has a 900 page tax return...?


The Republican Party, and its pollsters, failed to comprehend Candyland. NO, they were lied to........Conservative guru Frank Luntz say's Your Fox News viewers ought to be outraged, because day in and day out they were told that Romney was going to win." they were knowingly lied to..... News Corpse » The Internet's Chronicle of Media Decay:


College students, voting for the first time, are alarmingly socialistic and ignorant about government and current events. They also have the internet and can see how the rest of the world lives and then they realize, we gettin hosed by these republicans......


Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, said on Fox News: “It won’t kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires.” It will only hurt their egos if they get taxed another 3%. Only a redistributor, who cares nothing about the sanctity of private property. Who's talking about private property...??????
Romney correctly diagnosed the problem, Which was...???

.Sure, he could have been a little more strong in his defense of free markets, but at this point, I don’t know if the majority of Americans even know what that means anymore. Yes they understand offshoring jobs........


On election day I was at work and a couple of my coworkers were talking about free birth control. BOGUS. No one is getting 'free birth control' The only time this came up was certain religious employers didn't want birth control included in the Health Ins Plans they have to offer under Obamacare.....


Romney wasn’t just up against the corrupt Chicago Machine, he was up against a dumbed down population that doesn’t know a good man when they see him. He was up against the Sugar Daddy In Chief who spent most of his first term campaigning in swing states and using taxpayer dollars to convince the populace in those states why they were beholden to him. Romney offered 20% tax reductions for everyone, but they saw that didn't make sense.......


As far as I’m concerned, he was too decent to run in this putrid cesspool. And please, don’t don’t tell me we need more “compassionate conservatism.” If you ask me, that’s what got us into this mess in the first place. Maybe we need to replace it with something like “Adult Conservatism.”Maybe Rand Paul will run in his father's place next time and get real hard core with Americans...........[/QUOTE]


This Lonely Conservative is going to become very lonely if he dosen't accept that Women, Hispanics, Blacks and the former middle class aren't keen on the Conservative Values..........

"Mitt Romney is saying his comments about liking to fire people were taken out of context. Yeah, what he actually said was he likes to set poor people on fire." –Conan O'Brien


"Mitt Romney says he understands the middle class, and that he knows it's not easy keeping a roof over your family's heads — as well as vacation roofs in San Diego, New Hampshire, and Park City, Utah." –Jay Leno

"It is crucial that Romney pick a running mate who will help him with the groups he's weak with: women, Hispanics, African Americans, Evangelical Christians – and Republicans." –Stephen Colbert

"Mitt Romney is claiming he’s going to create 12 million jobs in his first term. But he hasn’t said yet if he’ll create them in China or India.” –Conan O'Brien

"Mitt Romney was attacking Obama about our failing education system. He has a point. We are graduating millions of people in this country who are so lacking in basic ****ytical skills, they are considering voting for Mitt Romney." –Bill Maherl

"Many voters feel that Mitt Romney is out of touch with real Americans after he tried to make a bet with Rick Perry for $10,000. When asked to comment, Mitt said, 'I'm sorry, but that's all I had in my pocket at the time.'" –Conan O'Brien

"Was Mitt Romney Too Good A Man For Today's Presidency?"

In times gone past the president was thought to invigorate the potential of the office, no man could invigorate that dead zone now no matter his testosterone charge.

First of all America has not changed in fact America proved it was responsible, The people had
no intention of going back to this simpler time nonsense. They were not going back to a time
when they had health care for only those who made the most money. They were not going back
to a time where abortion is illegal again. They were going back to the Roosevelt area in fact.
America is in trouble, that is true and America bounces back when in trouble. They did not listen
to the shrill voices of negativity, and going back ward.
Americans even in the face of higher unemployment and insecure times decided to move toward
progress no matter how difficult or uncertain. They chose not to turn things over to the old boys
club and the big business people, who with the help of Reagan and Bush created the mess they
are in.
Nope Romney was not the best choice, he was representing the old finance crowd. Romney, he
himself of camera wrote off 47% of Americans. Who were those takers as he described them?
Seniors, single mothers, the poor, veterans who came home all shot up. Yes and there were
others.
In addition the main reason the Republicans lost is because they didn't know what Americans wanted
or even what was happening on the ground. Obama had more resources because more Americans
supported his efforts. The Democrats had Urban areas wrapped up ten days before the election, and
as he said he was optimistic about election results. The Red on the map was made up rural conservative
America, they do not have the numbers to win. The Blue on the map had the Urban areas of population
and especially women voters.
Romney didn't have a unified party, its full of fringe people and the press reported they were crazy people
nothing wrong with that. Nope there was a choice and people made it so now its time to look for new
leadership. Republicans you lost quit whining and start doing what is right for America instead of what is
good for Republicans.

One thing that should also be pointed out here is know of which one speaks

Fascism is a right wing concept not from the lefty side of the field. Hitler hijacked the
socialist workers party and converted it to National Socialism which is right wing not
left wing.
Communism is the extreme left of center as Fascism in the extreme right of center concept

Rome was in trouble, Greece was in trouble, Babylon was in trouble. America is no exception to the natural order of imperial decay. According to available intel Obama had much the better vote fraud equipment, the people were wisely for the most part left out of the equation. Why would power spend all this time miseducaeting it;s electorate into reality show phantoms only to let them exercise a fair vote which they knew full well they were now incompetent to exercise.

A fascist who says if it were up to him there would be no plus or minus and everyone would be forced to attempt some sort of coherent reply or sit in silence, who then gives a minus to someone who calls him on his fascist leanings.

:lol:

Well Teddy you'll have legions of people like me fighting your jackboot ways if you should ever endeavour to take more power than that of an Administrator of an online forum.

I'd back you on that one. 100%.

I'm beyond tired of his behaviour.

- JLM ... Your memory seldom serves you correctly but in this case you are half right which, for you, is astonishingly good. I did indeed put some of those stupid red minus signs beside some of your posts BUT ONLY AFTER YOU had put minus signs beside several of my posts and it appeared that you were going to childishly make a habit of it.

Tell me please what is the difference between "childishly making a habit" out of giving out neg reps and your tactic of childishly making a habit of name calling anyone who does not agree with what you post?

After you stopped, I stopped. If it were up to me, there would be no minus or even plus signs and people would be forced to either attempt to make a coherent and cogent opinion or to STFU.
Who in the hell do you think you are exactly? No one has told you to STFU so where do you get off suggesting that's the way it should be? And let me guess, a 'coherent and cogent opinion' would be one that you agree with otherwise, they should STFU, do I have this right?

But since there are these silly little plus and minus signs, I do acknowledge my appreciation for those kind and discerning folks (you know who you are and so do I) who have given me a plus to minus ration of 3 or 4 to 1.
That's actually a really sad ratio. Here's an idea, maybe stop childishly calling people names who don't fall lock-step into your way of thinking.

That's better than the ratio I've been receiving lately, mind you mine changes drastically if you take a couple of nutters out of the equation.-:)

This is not about imperial decay, America has been in trouble several times and has come back.
Greece, Rome and others did not come back because their leadership was from the rich and the
powerful, and the industrialists of the day, America does not depend on one leader and when the
leader dies the nation dies.
In addition America is moving toward the people having a say again, that did not happen when the
Romney crowd had power under the Republicans. America has a lot of problems but they can
solve them. Oh and the election was a fair one. The people in cities out numbered people in the
rural areas. If Romney was all that great he would have said we need policies that are directed
toward the city folks as well. He didn't and he lost. More people wanted pensions and medicare
so Romney lost Never go into an election telling people you are going to take away medicare or
seniors pensions. he got what he deserved. The right wing lost that simple, people want the
programs they paid for its that simple.

That may be the first rule of politics- tell people what they want to hear! (The down side of it is it often makes a liar out of you)-:)
