The White House is sure to spend today touting this morning's
unemployment numbers, showing the economy losing a better than
expected 247,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate dipping to 9.4
percent in July, from 9.5 percent in June. The reason why the
unemployment rate fell even though the economy lost jobs is that
there were 796,000 discouraged workers in July, which means they
dropped out of the labor force because of weak job prospects, so
they aren't reflected in the unemployment rate. At the same time,
the labor participation rate declined by .2 percent to 65.5
percent.
Oh, that's because Obama's Nazi party is employing Republicans in
work camps throughout the midwest.
Also, young people are being rounded up and shipped off to
reeducation camps in Minnesota.
Also, the pool of unemployed has fallen since Democrats began
mass executions of people without working papers.
The retired are no longer a problem either, since the Democratic
health plan provides for a widespread Euthanasia program for
them.
Obama, a racist fascist dictator, has been reported to execute
people himself -- with his bare hands. Michelle and the kids like
to watch.
His usual favorites are white women. We all know what black men
like to do to white women. Yep, he takes their cuffs and gags
off, because he likes to hear them scream.
But he's no different than any liberal. They all enjoy killing
people, eating their flesh, and worshiping Satan. That's because
they're communists, and terrorists, and racists, and fascist
dictators.
See, I've been reading the American Spectator. I'm glad to know
the Truth finally about what's happening in America.
Now, you'll excuse me, I've got to get my room covered in
tin-foil before the Black Helicopters come to take me away!

Lib I had some hope for you being pleasant, but they are slipping
away. I'm sure you're crushed. The best I can say is you are far
from the worst or only raver that posts here.

Liberal Reader.
I'm with Tim. I've read some of your stuff, and you usually had
something of interest to say. Lately, not so much.
By the way, while BHO is not a facist, in that he is not a
dictator, he is supporting a lot of facist principles. Government
ownership of health care, government ownership of automotive
production, and government ownership of banks to name a few. He
is following in the footsteps of our nation's greatest facist,
FDR, who gave us Social Security and the Blue Eagle program.
For what it is worth, I actually am agnostic about BHO's racism,
but that doesn't mean that he hasn't surrounded himself with
racists. Eric Holder dropped the case against the black panthers
who had engaged in the most flagrant voter intimidation in
decades. Standing around in military gear holding a nighstick
outside a polling place. I'm sorry, Lib, but I do think this is
actionable. Since Eric Holder dropped the case, I do think the
worst of him. And yes, BHO appointed him, so that is not a good
reflection. BHO's buddy, Henry Louis Gates, has made a profession
out of being a perpetually outraged black man. Let's just say
that as far as BHO ushering in a postracial utopia, I'm
disappointed.
Lib, I know that things are hard right now. You guys own the
congressional and executive branches of the government, and you
are still having a hard time making the changes you were so
eagerly anticipating. Join the club. When GWB came in, we were in
much the same position, and those damned Republicans weren't able
to get social security reform, health insurance vouchers, or
drilling in ANWAR through. I was disappointed as well.
Lib, please, quit being such a putz, post something that is worth
reading (cuz I know you can), or just post elsewhere. And, be
prepared for more disappointments from BHO down the road. He's a
politician, not the messiah.

L Ross --
I don't have time to respond to your entire post, which was
admirably sober -- something I'm not seeing very much of around
here lately.
About Gates: Professor Gates has NOT made a living being "an
outraged black man." It's just not true. Gates is a temperate,
down to earth scholar.
Obama is not a fascist. You are correct. I'm glad we've gotten
this far.
In Nazi Germany, they'll built a highway. If Obama calls for
building a highway, you'll cite that as evidence he's a Nazi.
It's a bad argument. Limbaugh's speech the other day was RIDDLED
with falsehoods and half-truths.
(By the way, the Nazis were NOT anti-smoking and they cared
NOTHING for animal rights. Just to take the two stupidest things
Rush said.)
EVERY industrialized democracy in the world has some form of
social medicine accept the United States.
Does this mean that they are all fascist Nazis?
These arguments are really stupid. So stupid in fact that they
cause us to wonder what's really behind them. Because it's
something that's afraid to announce itself by it's real name --
and for that, we have to wonder again, why.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and
hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate
into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics
is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to
safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them
imaginary.

I think it is becoming obvious that the Obama administration is
clueless about everything except promoting their leftwing agenda.
They want government control over the economy and they don't care
how much debt and unemployment we have to go through to get it.
We can also thank the neocons for helping us down this road.
Without Neocons like GWB this wouldn't be possible.
