Opening Act

Terwiliger:

A bit inaccurate, methinks.

Only 1 "Republican" voted for the bill (Cao, LA), & not until Democrats already had 218 votes. His vote was one of political expediency, as he represents a predominantly Democrat district.

The other 219 were Leftists, & I doubt they had to be hypnotized.

At this point, I'm too disgusted to write more.

Bill:

Yep, Terwiliger is right. Though you could certainly reference the stimulus/TarpI/TarpII or even change the elephant to an ass (Never saw the irony in that before). Let's see how they behave in the senate.

Anonymous:

The CONSERVATIVE estimate of the cost of this thing is OVER $3 trillion.

For those of you who are unaware, they slipped a "net neutrality" provision into the "stimulus" as well.

GarandFan:

Here's hoping for a bloodbath in 2010. The rallying cry will be "Can you HEAR US NOW!"

Terwiliger:

“We will not recognize [American Fascism] as it rises. It will wear no black shirts here. It will probably have no marching songs. It will rise out of a congealing of a group of elements that exist here and that are the essential components of Fascism....”

“It will be at first decorous, humane, glowing with homely American sentiment. But a dictatorship cannot remain benevolent. To continue, it must become ruthless. When this stage is reached we shall see that appeal by radio, movies, and government-controlled newspapers to all the worst instincts and emotions of our people. The rough, the violent, the lawless men will come to the surface and into power. This is the terrifying prospect as we move along our present course.”

John T. Flynn, writing in the American Mercury, February 1941

Mauser:

PROPER Net Neutrality is a good thing, It divorces content from the medium it travels over. If I buy 1.5 Kbits/sec from Clearwire, they should supply that, regardless of whether I'm using it to download Sharespeare or Debbie Does Dallas.

Terwiliger:

MAUSER:

Agreed...BUT:

That isn't what Democrats mean when they say "net neutrality". They mean "for every [Conservative, Libertarian, Republican, republican, Jeffersonian, Originalist, Constructionist, etc.] position on the Internet, there has to be an equal amount of opposing [Leftist, Socialist, Radical, Progressive, Communist, etc.] content. If Leftist content is sparse (even if due to lack of demand), Conservative content must be restricted accordingly."

The protection of politically unpopular speech in the public realm--not whatever folks do in the private realm--is what the founders had in mind when they barred Congress from making any laws infringing upon free speech.

Lysander Spooner's "Vices are not Crimes" satisfactorily addresses the issue you raise.

Too much time on my hands:

He said his life’s an open book
Just be careful where you look
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

He said he’d lower unemployment
He’ll keep it under 8 percent
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

He promised full transparency
“Say what? No way! No how! Not me!”
Mmm mmm mmm….
Barack Hussein Obama

Five days to examine every bill
No more arm twisting on Capitol Hill
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

Full debate for every act
Yet another whopper, Barack
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

He won’t increase the deficit
Are you ROTFL yet?
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

No lobbyists in his cabinet
Not one promise honored yet
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

We can’t let the terrorists fry
But hang our soldiers out to dry
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

He promised “change”… a whole big lot
A few nickels & dimes are all we’ve got
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

They’re carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
Gonna make it with anyone anyhow?
Mmm mmm mmm….
Barack Hussein Obama

The point is made, my case I rest
It’s time for a voter competency test
Mmm mmm mmm…
Barack Hussein Obama

Dr. Bob:

Hey!!! That's my watch!!! That blankety-blank Obama stole my watch!

Too much time on my hands:

As I was sitting in the waiting room
A man came up to me & asked me
What the time was that was on my watch
And I said...

Does Barack Obama really know what time it is?
Does Barack Obama really care?
If so I can't imagine why
For all he cares the plebeians can die

And I was walking down the street one day
A homely lady looked at me & said
Mao Tse Tung & Karl Marx weren’t cold dead
And I said…

Does any Lefty really know what time it is?
Does any Lefty really care?
She said “Imagine no possessions… Can you try?”
I thought I heard our founding fathers cry

And I was trying to live my life one day
Being taxed & mobbed by people trying to beat the game
Oh, oh, I just don’t know why NH don’t change their motto
To “Freeload or whine”… And I said…

Does Barack Obama really know what time it is?
Does Barack Obama really care?
I’d like to try to see life through his glass
But my head won’t go that far up my ___

Ain’t no Lefty working…
They just want largesse…
AND I CARE.

Dang i thought your blog was killer, gave me a car load of information, i never knew, thanks blogger.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

You have some honest ideas here. I done a research on the issue and discovered most peoples will agree with your blog. After that early period, the Beatles evolved considerably over the years.

Your Blog is very professional, I like your info thanks for the help.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

Really good read about how this all stuff happens in other countries. You kindof gave me a new idea for new post for my blog. Just have to think through, mby translate some lines from your post, as there is no other way to write it as precisely and understandable, than you did.

It really is rare to locate a professional person in whom you might have some faith. In the world these days, nobody definitely cares about showing others the way in this subjecttopic. How fortuitous I am to have found a really wonderful web-site as this. It really is people like you that make a true difference in this world through the concepts they write about.

I`ve been looking for someone to build me an affordable website design for more than 5 months now and finally i got lucky

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you aren't already ;) Cheers!

The layout is what really caught my eye, then the i looked at the writing and i think you did a very nice job. Good work:)

I couldn't have asked for a more rewarding blog. You are ever present to give excellent information, going right to the point for convenient understanding of your site visitors. You're undeniably a terrific expert in this arena. Many thanks for currently being there for people like me.

Louis Vuitton Handbags:

But the wise woman of average means the time closer to the Discount Replica Handbags. These imitations, as they are sometimes called, can be big business. Besides, how many people really understand the difference between a real designer handbag and a replica handbag?

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Top-notch story it is surely. Friend on mine has been looking for this tips

I have found this site very useful. Now i've higher idea on my auto insurance.Wonderful! Picture hunting yahoo and google for hours only for this and that i in the end think it's on this article!

Louis Vuitton Handbags:

Today, fashion Discount Replica Handbags cost more than $ 1,000 or more, and even if you can afford, it is inevitable that a new it bag comes next month that his date.

Your posting is very well and theme base for which it is liking to every people. Thanks a lot

Great blog here i like all the information thats being shared, congratulations.

great post. Ne'er knew this, regards for letting me know.

excellent blog post, i surely adore this web site, keep it.

What can I say but Amazing! This weblog is fantastic! Did you take the photographs in this? It is great to find someone that likes such things as this. Being a florist I actually find this sort of issue quite interesting. Would you mind if I backlink back here from my personal website? Thanks for writing.

Nice review of the subject , I was looking to understand this matter further and found this information to be very good.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I am only commenting to make you know of the magnificent encounter my cousin's child developed viewing your web site. She figured out a good number of issues, most notably what it's like to have an awesome helping spirit to make many people clearly know a number of hard to do subject areas. You actually exceeded readers' expectations. Many thanks for distributing the practical, healthy, informative and as well as unique tips on the topic to Sandra.

Thank you - good information.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

I'd perpetually want to be update on new blog posts on this site, bookmarked ! .

hey was just seeing if you minded a comment. i like your site and the thme you picked is awesome. I will be back.

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in publishing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. In fact your fanciful writing abilities has urged me to start my own blog now. Actually the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a fine example of it.

I am really impressed along with your writing abilities and also with the format on your weblog. Is that this a paid subject or did you modify it yourself? Either way stay up the nice high quality writing, it is uncommon to see a great weblog like this one nowadays..

As soon as I noticed this web site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
