The Right Scoop
I have moved on from the disappointment. Suggest we all do and just take care of our needs as best we can. My wife (a nurse) is being laid off in December after over 30 years
thanks to Obama's Medicare cuts. I doubt she will look for another job and her skills will be unused except at home with me.
Tonight: Chili dogs, with lots of onion and cheese, Fritos covered in chili with cheese and chopped sweet onion, and Ranch Style beans on the side.
YUMMM! But it sounds like you may be in need of that mobama care :) after those Fritos covered in chili and cheese.
I've gotta try that.
I am a registered Republican, and I voted for Gary Johnson just as I said I would. Before you all go nuts, I will remind you that I live in Maryland, where Obama crushed Romney 62% to 36%. I was among 1.1% who voted for Johnson in this state. I am not the problem.
Barack Obama was ripe for defeat on the national level. Any success he touts in terms of the economy is rooted in the illusion of prosperity and growth facilitated by our corrupt and inflationary monetary system. Basically, he presided over four years of monetary debasement, and because the stock markets went up nominally, there are millions of people out there who believe him when he claims success in stabilizing and growing our economy.
Which brings me to why I, and many like me, could not support Governor Romney. During the 2008 election cycle, I experienced what I consider to be an awakening. In a primary debate Ron Paul said, very bluntly, that we were broke. I knew we had a lot of national debt at time, but what he said in that debate got me thinking and studying. I started reading Austrian economists like Peter Schiff and Howard Katz, and gained a new understanding of our monetary system and its history. By the summer of 2008 I was a Ron Paul supporter, and when the stock markets crashed that fall and Hank Paulson was going on TV sweating begging for hundreds of billions of dollars, and the auto execs were flying in to beg Congress for bailouts and McCain suspended his campaign to vote (along side Obama) for TARP...I saw them and most Rs and Ds in Congress for what they were and are...tools of the banksters who have a government-granted power to counterfeit our currency, manipulate interest rates and socialize failure.
From that point on, I looked at politicians and candidates differently. If they do not question the Federal Reserve System, I question them. And I am not alone...nearly 80% of Americans surveyed want the Fed to be fully audited. Unfortunately, Romney did not make this a main issue in his campaign. In fact, he rarely mentioned it. The Federal Reserve wasn't even mentioned in all three debates with Obama. Yet it is the Fed that manipulates interest rates and inflates the money supply, creates the artificial boom and bust cycles in our economy, and diminishes the standard of living of nearly all Americans by transferring wealth from us to the connected elite.
We are approaching the end point. It could well come during the next four years. I would be surprised if monetary policy is not the single most important issue of the 2016 election, and it will shape who the candidates of both major parties are.
Well, yes you are the problem. Romney needed that vote no matter where you live. There are too many like you that needed to step up. Gary Johnson was not the answer and all of you knew it. I used to live in MD, too.
Uh, no. Even if all 1.1% of Johnson's Maryland votes went to Romney, Obama would still have smoked Romney here by nearly 2 to 1. Maryland is as true blues it gets (in the areas of dense population and therefore in terms of the electoral process) and you should know that if you once lived here.
On a national level, ignoring, marginalizing and then ultimately disenfranchising the Ron Paul movement was a terrible strategery, but it was one that the Romney campaign and the RNC calculated they could get away with. They were wrong.
...AMERICA ,it is time to either go JOHN GALT or nominate TED NUGENT for PRESIDENT 2016 ."
Please don't put this in multiple threads.
I doubt many folks will want to click on a link unless you take the trouble to tell them what it's about.
So if the POS 'fails' even more with the economy, the left, socialist dem party is finished?
No way, Mr O'Reilly, no way. Seeing that so many now elected to follow the European model, just take a look at the European socialist parties: all alive and kicking, never mind the disaster.
Or, closer to home, take a look at the British Labour Party.should've been ruined after the economic disaster they produced. Well - no, because they promise even more free stuff, and their henchpeople, the unions, have been striking more since the Coalition started in 2010 than in the 13 years of Labour.
It's always about people wanting 'free stuff', and any threat to decrease that free stuff, to cut it back a bit, is deemed to be outrageous, and barrages of articles are let lose in the corrupt media.
No - there more people can get free stuff, the longer the socialist parties will survive, and the stronger they will become.
Only a catastrophic crash of the world markets will perhaps wake people up.
But then perhaps not - Amity Shlaes' book 'The forgotten Man' shows why.
I recommend reading it ...
The poison of laziness is infesting our society very quickly. Several months ago, my wife and I overheard two men while standing in line at a public event. They were basically bragging about being on unemployment and "getting a government check for as long as I can." They then mentioned a female friend who took a job to get off unemployment. One guy said, "Why would she go back to work when she could get unemployment for another year?" The other guy's response: "Well, she's from that generation that believes in hard work." (My wife had to restrain herself from turning around and punching him.) Obama is destroying the work ethic in this country. Our nation can't survive as a free republic if this dependence mentality continues to grow.
(I've shared this story several times before on here, but it's just too important of an example to be shared only once.)
and if I were a young single man looking for a wife, it shall surely be the like of Palin and many great conservative knock out in look & brain that I surely shall search for a partner for life, never in a million years with that of the Fluck multitute
What Miller is referring to but can't seem to articulate is virtue. Those without virtue seem to outnumber those with virtue. If people don't know what I mean by virtue then we are in bigger trouble than I thought.
I saw this live, and it was awesome.
I loved that line about the tush. i also liked the things he said about Gov Romney.
I almost started to cry.
I still think he had a hand in the jokes from the Al Smith dinner.
Aside from the 1st debate, that was the highlight of the entire campaign.
Day two: I still feel lousy.
Bill O'Rielly said if the president fails to revive the economy then the progressive movement is done, forever. This is head in the sand thinking, progressive will always produce a straw man to blame, they specialize in not owning responsibility for their actions. And after all, you can't fix stupid, they will always find voters!
Or does it mean that Bill O'Reilly will decide when the second chance is up and then start pointing it out that Bambi has failed. Frankly it doesn't make any difference to me because he isn't right enough to listen to him. It's amazing that he is still the most watched cable person in his time slot. He thinks he has the power of Rush. I don't know what anything means anymore. The world is upside down.
Exactly, they will always blame it on something or someone else never putting two and two together. It's the blind leading the blind.
O'Reilly needs to be booted from Fox..........send him over to Chris Mathews...
Get rid of O'Reilly
O'Reilly fits right in with the new upgraded FOX. It's us who have faded away from them, as they have drifted toward the left.
youre right. This election has pushed Fox to the left as they already were pandering....now its clear. Pretty much all tv I cant stomach
Cable in general is a brainwashing mechanism. I pretty much only watch food network tv.....even that network will have Moochelle pushing her agenda though
Cable in general is a brainwashing mechanism
Oh yes. Especially, when you have not watched it in a while, and go back. You realize how dumb downed it really is.
Yes. After 20+ years of steadily watching the MSM for political news and views, I'm done with the MSM. From now on I'll watch "American Pickers" and other than that the TV is/will be off.
For the most part important stories aren't reported or lied about (think Benghazi, for example) by the MSM. Most political discussion shows let the Dems lie and misrepresent the Republican position. Their discussion panels have libs outnumbering Republicans/Conservatives 3,4,5, to one. So why bother anymore?
I might listen to Rush once in awhile but no longer will try to listen to 15 hours a week.
I'll get my news from the Web and most of my entertainment from the Web. No more upset stomachs for me.
Wow! Who would have thought that I would ever agree with Ted Baxter? But he may have a point. I don't even think like this, but if he does maybe others will too. They gave Obama a second chance.(this is how many people deal with a bad child) He will fail again. I don't see him working with Republicans. I don't see him working with anyone. If he signs anything, it will be to his own benefit not the country's. He doesn't know how to fix Bush's mistake. He is ignorant of anything except Marxist ideology. He has admitted that. Valerie Jarrett is gearing up for "revenge" so I don't see him succeeding in getting his act together for America. Just not going to happen. The question remains; Will real Democrats put up with this Marxist and understand the problems need to be fixed or will they just go along because that is their inclination? Already 10 million stayed at home. They must be unhappy as they should be. Will this be the end of the Democrats? I don't think so, but I could be wrong again like I was this time and in '08. I can't imagine my country going down this fast and people electing this POS to the highest office in the world. Will the adults of any stripe ever get to be in charge again?
Its amazing to me that they "gave him a second chance
when they never gave anyone else one- with the same or better stats.
His wife will repay the tax payers by going on a vacation next month.
She has a lot of vacations to make up. She kinda laid off them as the elections grew closer so mamma's ready to spend and roll, nothing to hold her back now.
Vacations? Im guessing for the kids Christmas break. Then she'll have to go on another to relax from the vacation.
On another note, I just saw that Boeing is laying off 30% of their management positions. (in Cali)
I feel like tattooing the phrase, "I told you so" on the palm of my hand. Then, whenever liberals come to me complaining how things are going to H*ll in a handbasket, I can throw up my hand and say, "Talk to the hand ('cause the face ain't listening)".
I don't libs think we're going to heck in a handbasket. They like it this way. That's what they voted for after all.
I still like your idea with the tat.
Yeah, I agree with you. They like it this way, but the ones that love their free stuff will be a bit perturbed when that well runs dry.
No, Mr. O'Reilly, the left will not collapse when they are unable to fix the economy. We heard that four years ago and it didn't happen. The economy has gotten worse and Obama was still re-elected and the Democrats still hold the Senate.
The left will continue to blame their failures on other people and a large segment of the voters will fall for it. The left never takes responsibility for their failures and some people never learn.
I thought the same thing when I heard him say that. We have been hearing for the past four years that people don't re-elect Presidents with high UE and high gas prices.
Well all that came to pass and he still got elected. Sorry, CW does not apply to Obama for obvious reasons.
I jumped right to #7 to see where it is this'll take me ;)
If the reality we are discussing here is that we really do not live in a free Republic with free elections, #7 means acceptance of slavery. I'm just sayin'
I wish we could keep Romney as our leader for the next 4 years. I feel there will be a vacuum in leadership in the Republican party . Its time to reform the Republican Party machine. It's time to look at the concept of a real Opposition leader. Boehner is not a leader and he doesn't have the communications skills a Republican leader should. I don't trust him. We seriously need him replaced with a new figurehead. We need to select the best and brightest man for the job. We need to do it now. The British parliamentary system has a Prime Minister in the lower house, the house of commons. This leader is generally selected because he is the most electable, most skilled political operator in the parliament and the best media performer. If the Prime Minister fails to perform he is replaced with a better candidate. The advantage of this is stability in leadership and consistency in message. Think about this. The American public has now got to know Mitt Romney, he has been screened and put to the sword and still he's a great guy. Could do with a little more fight in him especially in the last debate where he agreed with everything obama did and neutralized himself. But really the Idea of an Opposition leader would strengthen the Republican party, ONE go to man for all media, ONE message that cannot be diluted but poor media performers mumblers, babblers or soft-RINOS. Now we have to re-screen a candiodate in 4 years. Our nation is slipping away. We cannot wait. We must start now without Boner! he is useless.
Romney and the Mrs. has spoken and he wont put himself out of the ledge again. Our chance for the good old USA is gone. America is half corrupt and on its way to Europeanism.... What we once were is now dead
Yes I know i used him as an example we can't keep burning candidates, there will be nothing left... we gotta stick with one who keeps smashing Democrats on media and in congress.
IM sick of hear what Mitt did wrong............. Mitt played by the rules in an ufair game. Until the left is affected by obama and will admit that its obama fault and not the fault of bush........this country is going no where but down. May even result in a revolution and war within when people can no longer afford to live. Forget looking to your doctors and healthcare systems to maintain health. That ship has sailed. Using a health care facility from now on will only make you less healthy. Doctors are all going to retire....and be replaced with what is equivilent to a trained nurse.
Here is the grief model called "The 7 Stages of Grief": I hope this isn't too long to repost. if so, delete it please. No problem. Maybe it'll help someone though.
7 Stages of Grief...
1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
2. PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.
You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.
You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.
During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.
5. THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.
I'm Rshill7 and I'm in stage 4 looking for stage 5. Bear with me. It's just my wife and I here now. Last night we had a vey nice dinner at our favorite restaurant. Salmon with pineapple habanero sauce. Salmon? Whooda thunk it. Grrrrrrr.
I don't necessarily agree with all aspects of these steps. They are general in nature and written by some egghead. They do attempt to explain common observances made by those who grieve.
"Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses." (1 Timothy 5:23 NIV)
I jumped right to #7 to see where it is this'll take me ;)
If the reality we are discussing here is that we really do not live in a free Republic with free elections, #7 means acceptance of slavery. I'm just sayin'
