In keeping with the demonic image the Left has of the Right, I encourage all my conservative friends to find an Indian for Thanksgiving. Get him drunk, steal his money and his woman, if she's faux-Pocahontas cute - pack him off with a set of anal love beads and put him on a plane bound for San Fran with an "I Voted 'Yes' on Prop 8" T-shirt.
After all, conservatives shouldn't be the only ones celebrating the raping of America this fine day.
Enjoy your Turkey, your Ham - your family and friends. The latter are what matter most in the end.
As for the media - just give the morons the bird.
Happy Holiday, my friends. See you back here, soon.


And the same to you, sir.
Keep the faith.

I like the nonchalant, coffee drinking, guv.
She doesn't give it second thought.

And a happy thanksgiving to all of my friends here.
Even though I believe your politics border on the ludicrous.

BACK TO WORK.
Harpo, Llamette, Worst, Totally, chris/Boob, LOL, and all you other koskids, it is time to once again recognize our great President for his amazing performance in office. Gasoline around here is now about $1.76. OK, repeat after me: Thank you President Bush for the great job you did in lowering gas prices to save Americans billions of dollars a year.
And here is some common sense cold water to throw on the fire of the it's-all-about-me-generation's hyping of the current mild recession. By Victor Hansen at National Review via Memeorandum:
"We haven’t seen such frenzy since the Y2K sham, when we were warned to stock up on flashlights and bottled water as our nation’s computers would simply shut down on January 1, 2000 — and with them the country itself.
Get a grip. Much of our current panic is psychological, and hyped by instantaneous electronic communications and second-by-second 24-hour news blasts. There has not been a nationwide plague that felled our workers. No earthquake has destroyed American infrastructure. The material United States before the September 2008 financial panic is largely the same as the one after. Once we tighten our belts and pay off the debts run up by Wall Street speculators and millions of borrowers who walked away from what they owed others — and we can do this in a $13 trillion annual economy — sanity will return."

I encourage all my friends to find an Indian, kill him with smallpox, and make his family move to oklahoma.

"Thank you President Bush for the great job you did in lowering gas prices to save Americans billions of dollars a year."
And all it took was a multi trillion dollar financial catastrophe. $1-$2 trillion for an unnecessary war. Another trillion dollar handout to Wall Street. And the seven years previous an additional $5 trillion in deficits.
Heck of job, George Bush. Brilliant thinking. Run our economy so far into trouble that no one can afford to drive any more. That'll lessen demand and viola! lower prices.

"Much of our current panic is psychological"
Victor Hansen is a moron. And without wingnut welfare unable to earn a living.

"Malls from Michigan to Georgia are entering foreclosure, commercial victims of the same events poisoning the housing market.
Hotels in Tucson, Ariz., and Hilton Head, S.C., also are about to default on their mortgages.
That pace is expected to quicken. The number of late payments and defaults will double, if not triple, by the end of next year, according to analysts from Fitch Ratings Ltd., which evaluates companies' credit.
"We're probably in the first inning of the commercial mortgage problem," said Scott Tross, a real estate lawyer with Herrick Feinstein in New Jersey.
That's bad news for more than just property owners. When businesses go dark, employees lose jobs. Towns lose tax revenue. School budgets and social services feel the pinch.
Companies have survived plenty of downturns, but economists see this one playing out like never before. In the past, when businesses hit rough patches, owners negotiated with banks or refinanced their loans.
But many banks no longer hold the loans they made. Over the past decade, banks have increasingly bundled mortgages and sold them to investors. Pension funds, insurance companies, and hedge funds bought the seemingly safe securities and are now bracing for losses that could ripple through the financial system."

Do a little thinking here Fred. Peoples retirement savings have been stolen.

Sorry, Harpo, I made up my mind to avoid arguing with idiots in future. It is a waste of time. It now appears that Obama has made up his mind to do the same. He is ignoring you saps.

jharp - no one's retirement was "stolen." Why you buy that nonsense is beyond me. There is no person or persons sitting somewhere with Trillions of dollars in their pocket.
Money wasn't stolen. False growth based upon unsound credit drove everything up - from home prices, to 401k statements. You really don't seem to understand that by prudent free market standards, the value should have never been there.
If the money were "stolen" it wouldn't be a problem, as it would still find its way back into the economy through investment. It hasn't been stolen, it's "gone" from the balance sheet, where it shouldn't have appeared in the first place.
Politcians have been created false wealth to get re-elected through unsound policies. And now they, and only they, are getting what they want - more government spendiong, bigger government that will only water down the free market system even more.

jharp: At noon the sky is red.
someone: Red, jharp? No it isn't it is blue.
jharp: You are a moron and the sky is red.
someone: No it isn't look, here is a link:

jharp: At noon anyone but a complete rat and liar can see the sky is red.
someone:Look, jharp, here is another link. In this composite photo a picture of the visible light spectrum is placed under a photo of the sky above Phoenix, Arizona, on November first of this year. It clearly shows the sky is blue. (Pretend Link)
jharp: The sky is red, your mama has a fat neck, I don't care about the past. I live in the now and what is to come. You are a moron.

Very sadistic - the interview I mean. Perhaps they should have also gone to the local slaughter house so we could have seen her Thanksgiving ham prepared? Nothing like a little blood lust over the holidays.
