Republi-CONs are Historic Whiners

UPDATE II: More on that socialist agenda to promote studying, hard work, and accountability in school. Read the Washington Post, An A in Overreaction.


UPDATE: Quick. Hide all the schoolchildren. From what, you wonder? Obama's back-to-school pep talk about studying, hard work, and accountability. Read USA Today, Fight over Obama's school talk teaches sorry lesson.

A local comment after a week of Republi-con hysterical lunacy over the speech:

"Kids across America are now running out of their schools, terrified, shouting, 'OMG! President Obama wants me to study hard and stay in school! And that's not all! OMG! He said to pay attention to my teachers and listen to my parents! And OMG! Here's the worst part! He asked me to never ever give up on myself!!!'"

More proof that the Republi-con party is awash in grievance, self-pity, resentment, and anger.

The Republi-con party will complain about any thing Obama, even a visit and speech to a high school near Washington D.C.

Should Obama Man even try to work with a party awash in grievance, self-pity, resentment, and anger? Read The New York Times, Roosevelt: The Great Divider, for a little historical perspective on Republi-con whining.

Maybe they should reconsider the words of a former member: "It is difficult indeed to maintain a reasoned and accurately informed understanding of our defense situation on the part of our citizenry when many prominent officials, possessing no standing or expertness as they themselves claim it, attempt to further their own ideas or interests by resorting to statements more distinguished by stridency than by accuracy."

Obama Man Can (or Maybe He Can't)

UPDATE V: Holy heresy Naive-ocrats, maybe Obama is just a mere mortal politician after all. Read the Washington Post, Obama, the Mortal.


UPDATE IV: Maybe Obama Man can't. Read The New York Times, The Obama Slide.

Sounds like a new dance, some might say it is a sequel to the hustle.


UPDATE III: JibJab on Obama Man:

UPDATE II: Our President, the Miracle Maker. Read The New York Times, And the Angels Rejoice.


UPDATE: More about Obama Man. Read the Washington Post, Obama's Center-Left Two-Step.

Who can save them from bankruptcy? Obama Man can:



Cute.

Is the Republi-CON Doing Nothing Plan an Option?

UPDATE II: For more on the terrible suffering of government health care beneficiaries, read The New York Times, Health Care That Works.

We should not ignore the terrible injustice that beneficiaries of some government paid health care programs, such as Congressman, federal and state government employees, military retires, and the elderly, suffer. They should enjoy of the great benefits of the private sector health care (NOT) by canceling all government paid health care programs.

What do you think?


UPDATE: Is the Republi-con doing nothing option really just another name for the corporate health care industry plan to block health reform and continue to deny requests for expensive procedures and cancel policies for expensive disease? Read The New York Times, Health Care Fit for Animals.

Many people who oppose health care reform are beneficiaries of some government paid health care program, including Congressman, federal and state government employees, military retires, and the elderly. If there isn't reform that is fair and equitable, then end all government health care programs and give opponents what they claim to want, a pure market-based health care program for all.

Time to call the health care industry scare talk bluff.

In response to the "vile and stupid" things being said by the Republi-cons, on Friday's show we discussed several options to reform the health care system as outlined in The New York Times, The Swiss Menace.

Another suggestion is a voucher plan. Read The New York Times, Real Choice? It’s Off Limits in Health Bills.

Don't like these options, then what is your suggestion?

Is the Can at the End of the Road?

UPDATE: What good did the can kicking do? "Many scholars believe . . . that nations which suffer civil wars as large as Iraq's was between 2004 and 2006 have "a terrifyingly high rate of recidivism." Two more years of U.S. military presence cannot control whether that is in Iraq's future. Some people believe the war in Iraq was not only "won" but vindicated by the success of the 2007 U.S. troop surge. Yet as Iraqi violence is resurgent, the logic of triumphalism leads here:

If, in spite of contrary evidence, the U.S. surge permanently dampened sectarian violence, all U.S. forces can come home sooner than the end of 2011. If, however, the surge did not so succeed, U.S. forces must come home sooner."

Can't argue with the logic. Read the Washington Post, Time to Leave Iraq.

Instead of acknowledging the invasion was a mistake, Bush kicked the Iraq can down the road.

Now, under a Iraqi-American security agreement, American forces are scheduled to withdraw from Iraqi cities, towns and villages on June 30.

So is the can an the end of its journey, or just at the end of the beginning of a journey which ultimately will lead to a free and prosperous democracy in the Middle East?

After you read The New York Times, Iraq Struck by a Wave of Bombings, you may wonder.

After the all the blood and treasure, partition seems likely, and hardly worth the price.

In which case, instead of shoes, we should send Bush cans.

Debunking the MSM Myth

Watch this segment from CBS News:

Did Women's Intuition Solve a Crime?

Would a woman, with the "richness of her experiences . . . more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male?" Read BeyondChron, Jaycee Dugard’s Female Heroes Prove Sotomayor Right.

Take a Break from the Summer Break at NoBullU on WEBY

Listen to the voice of wisdom and reason in a wilderness of partisan rhetoric -- No political insanity, no conservative hypocrisy, no liberal foolishness -- Just straight talk, straight at you, and that’s no bull!!

NoBullU will broadcast today from 4:05 to 6 p.m. at 1330 AM WEBY and on line, courtesy of Cyber Smart Computers.

Topics:

Local and regional: Contempt of Court, Time to Suffer No Consequences, and Escambia County Sheriff Lt. Rex Blackburn -- victim or rogue cop; and

Nation and international: eight have been charged with the murders of Byrd and Melanie Billings, but how many will get the death penalty.

But I'll discuss anything. (Disclaimer: the host reserves the right to end any discussion and hang up on you.)

So tune-in, call-in, but only if you can handle the truth!

WARNING: You may not want to call in if you have veritasphobia, especially if you are a certain veritasphobic politician.

Proof That I am Perfect

I am a Nobody.
Nobody is Perfect.
Therefore I am Perfect.

Can't argue with that proof.

Know the Lie and the Truth

To know the truth one must recognize the lie. Read The New York Times, More Lying.

With acknowledgment to Sun Tzu (on knowing the enemy):

If you know the lie and know the truth, you need not fear the argument.
If you know truth but not the lie, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the lie nor the truth, you will succumb in every battle.

Torture for Dollars

UPDATE: Maybe a better title would have been torture by Washington bureaucrats. Read The New York Times, Report Shows Tight C.I.A. Control on Interrogations.

Some people will do anything for a buck, even sell America's soul, the Constitution, to the devil, for lies, or more accurately false leads procured by torture.

Read The New York Times, Interrogation Inc.: 2 U.S. Architects of Harsh Tactics in 9/11’s Wake.

Capitalism is great isn't it, when two former military psychologists can copy methods from a 1957 USAF study of Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean War to obtain false confessions and sell them for millions to the U.S. so that Cheney could extract false confessions linking Iraq to 9/11 in order to justify the Iraq war.

Contempt of Court, Time to Suffer the Consequences

UPDATE: No consequences. Read the Pensacola News Journal, Clerk cleared in prayer suit.

Given that decision where the clerk's actions were clearly more planned and deliberate, the U.S. Attorney's Office should save everyone time and money and just dismiss the criminal contempt proceeding against Lay and Freeman.

She said that she was willing to "suffer whatever consequences." Well, today is the day to learn the consequences. Read the Pensacola News Journal, Clerk to face judge in school prayer case.

The ACLU also responds to the myths and facts about its lawsuit and 'wild distortions' by Hedgehog News (which falsely uses the name FOXNews).

For more on the lawsuit against the Santa Rosa County School District read (oldest to newest):

The End is Near, The End is Near

Is it the end of the world as we know it, or do tough times bring pessimism?

For some apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic possibilities:

Watch a movie, such as Terminator Salvation.

Read a book, such as One Second After or Lights Out (free).

For other stories, old and new, read the Wall Street Journal, Hollywood Destroys the World.

So cheer up, it could be worse, much worse.

Are You Smarter Than a Second Grader?

Here is a little 'test' that is supposedly part of a second grade computer class in China or Japan.

Some figure it out right away. Others report having to work on it for a week or more to solve it. Take the Frog Leap Test.



No cheating, but after you give it a try if you need help, here is the answer.

Whether It Is Contempt of Court or Contempt For God, He Has No Regret

UPDATE III: For everything you need to know about contempt of court, read the U.S. Attorney's Manual, 9-39.000 Contempt of Court.


UPDATE II: The story has gone national. Read the Washington Times, School prayer charges stir protests.


UPDATE: Maybe he doesn't regret the speech. Read the Pensacola News Journal, A principal's principles.

Was it contempt of Court or contempt for God? Well now it is alleged criminal contempt of court. Read the Pensacola News Journal, Criminal charges in Pace prayer suit.

Here is the Court's Notice and Order of Criminal Contempt Proceedings:




Bet he now wishes he hadn't made that speech in church. I wonder if he will "back down, back-off, lay down or roll over" now. Watch the video from PNJ.com and you'll know what I mean:

Summer Break at NoBullU

NoBullU is on summer break. I'll be back, mid-late August.

Til then, I'll make an occasional post. But there is lots to read and consider here at NoBullU.

And as the economic recovery continues, or not, reread my solution for the economic mess, better than the B & O (Bush & Obama) Bankster bailout that robbed our future.
