The "Crime" of Being Robbed

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Sunday, November 30, 2008 4:03:34 PM
What kind of a stupid politician or bureaucrat made such a rule as to expose the VICTIMS of robbery to jail or fines for being "partly responsible" for being robbed? In Shreveport, Louisiana they apparently have some very ignorant "lawmakers." Paul Jacobs says, "I can’t say it’s the dumbest law out there because, well, there are so many dumb laws. It’s a very competitive field." We need an "intelligence test" for people who want to make laws and run the lives of the rest of us. . . . "Partly responsible?" Should a person who is robbed on the street be jailed for being robbed because he didn't resist that illegally-armed criminal harder? Remember, these are the same people who make laws to disarm honest people, ignoring the unalterable fact that CRIMINALS don't obey laws that say they can't be armed. The bad thing here is such laws ARE "laws." Silly, stupid, ignorant. But they ARE laws, and until rescinded, we have to obey them. How stupid is that? (Common Sense)

Stein's Right! Imagine That!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Sunday, November 30, 2008 3:56:19 PM
I don't often agree with editorial cartoonist Ed Stein because he's a "radical liberal in his thinking. But this cartoon is "right on." I wonder how a radical liberal like him was even able to see this: The cartoon depicts Treasury Secretary Paulson shoveling money down a "deep, dark, hole" saying "we need to go in a different direction." With the next picture showing him doing the same thing "in a different direction." Basically he's saying: "You can't have any of the $700 billion I'M in charge of "doling out" to the banking industry. I'M in charge of it, and you have to steal your OWN money to give away to increase and maintain your OWN power! The "dirty little secret" in all this is, at the bottom of that "black hole" are lots of "leeches" on our society who will reliably vote more and more Democrats into office as long as they get their "bread and circuses" as they "line up” to prove THEY are “the most needy.”  (Ed Stein/Rocky Mountain News)

Using Their Own Tactics

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, November 29, 2008 5:17:25 PM
The only problem with using outlandish blocking tactics when you're in the minority is that when the other side becomes the minority, you "tip your hand" and it can learn from you and use them ON you. "Remember all the trouble President Bush has had with court appointments? The Senate Democrats for the last eight years stalled confirmation hearings, denying the president the traditional prerogative of selecting qualified jurists who shared his philosophy. Much to these same Democrats' dismay, beleaguered Senate minority Republicans may soon agree with the past use of such roadblocks and learn to impede simple up-and-down votes on judicial nominees. To them, such tactics will be reinvented as necessary to stop Obama-appointed liberal judges from flooding the courts." And the Democrats will scream loudly every time their own tactics are used on them. They'll call it "unprofessional" and "low." They hope we'll forget their own liberal use of it.

The Fillibuster Will Now Be "bad"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, November 29, 2008 5:15:34 PM
Prediction: the filibuster, which Democrats hated with a passion when the Republicans used it, but who used it with abandon when THEY were out of power, will "redefine" it as a "bad thing." At least, until they become the minority party again. "For much of the Bush administration, out-of-power Democratic senators defended it as a hallowed tradition of American politics. But as the ruling majority, they will soon probably redefine the filibuster as a sort of nihilism practiced by bitter Republicans to obstruct the Obama agenda." Of course, when in power, Republicans themselves once deplored the filibuster as fossilized obstructionism (politicians tend to do that)." They will redefine many more things as they attempt to "cement" their hold on power for more than four years. If more and more people "wake up" to their scams and schemes, they may not LAST more than four years, this time. Unless they're successful in bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine" and shutting people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity up--which is their primary goal. (Investor's Business Daily)

The Making of a Dictator

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, November 29, 2008 5:12:03 PM
"Gaining control of the media is typically the first act of a leftist usurper. When Castro took power in Cuba, he imprisoned journalists en masse and continued to do so throughout his regime, holding those who opposed him indefinitely without charges; When Josef Stalin returned from exile in March of 1917 he immediately assumed control of an underground publication founded by Leon Trotsky called Pravda (which, ironically, translates as "Truth") and made it an official arm of the Soviet Communist Party. Pravda became and remained the chief propaganda arm of the Soviet Communist Party until it was shut down in 1991 by Boris Yeltsin. Subscription to Pravda was MANDATORY; Immediately after assuming power in 1933, Adolf Hitler placed Joseph Goebbels in charge of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. All journalists, writers, and artists were required to register with the ministry." This is how you become a dictator. Take control over the press, which is the only thing that can hurt you, by telling the truth about you. Reviving the "Fairness Doctrine" will allow Obama to do things the liberal press will not tell you about, and conservative talk radio will not be ABLE to, if, indeed, it survives in any form. Otherwise, they don't have to worry about the press, because it's "in their pocket." (CFIF)

All You've Been Taught is WRONG!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, November 27, 2008 4:27:20 PM
Teenagers are too young to really know what is going on in the world, and for the most part, what they've been taught in school is WRONG. Liberals (socialists) have been in control of the education system for far too many years and consistently "condition" our children to believe THEIR version of things--which uniformly favors collectivism (socialism) as a lifestyle. This is not a "conspiracy." It is a PHILOSOPHY that has been taught in our schools for a long time. It's understandable that today's teenagers believe socialism is a "good thing," that it is being used successfully in Europe, and that it should be brought here. It is NOT, and SHOULD not. Everywhere socialism has been tried it has either failed, or is only lasting by being "propped up" by other socialist countries newer and still solvent (who will not be for long) or even by US. Communism in Russia is just the biggest socialist nation to fail. Many others have failed, or are in the process of failing. Their economies are failing, one by one. In this hemisphere, Cuba, for instance, is still around, only by being "propped up" by Russia, and now by Hugo Chavez' in Venezuela, who still has money because he "nationalized" (stole) the oil companies Americans built for him.

But their infrastructure is crumbling, Castro is dying, and the only new cars there (if any) belong to high-ranking politicians still in his favor. Teenagers have not been ALIVE long enough to know what's going on. I know I didn't when I was a teenager, but soon learned the truth after I got away from the influence of those socialist conditioning mills we call schools. I was a Democrat in those days, and soon became a "Goldwater Democrat" in 1964. The guy who later came up with that TV ad showing a little girl picking a flower while a nuclear bomb exploded in the background, saying, "If you vote for Goldwater, we'll be stuck in Viet Nam for years" was right. I voted for Goldwater, and we WERE "stuck in Viet Nam" for years. Only it was because Goldwater DIDN'T win. I was disgusted with the apathy I saw in those days, and consciously :opted out" of politics for many years. That was my biggest life mistake, which I corrected just before Clinton's first term. I found out that even if I didn't "pay attention to politics," politics WOULD pay attention to ME. (Just common sense)

"Previously Unknown Group?"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, November 27, 2008 4:23:28 PM
Sure. It's "unknown because they're trying to confuse the world as the SAME PEOPLE, under a different name, are killing Americans and British in India. They've killed more than 100 people so far, and will kill more before they're "taken down." I predict that when they ARE "taken down," they will be imprisoned, and liberals all over the world will "wring their hands" over their treatment. I recommend that when they ARE "taken down," they be KILLED on the spot. No jail; no trials; no "hand-wringing" by liberals. Just DEAD. That's the only thing such people understand, and even if they DON'T understand it, they are then no longer in a position to kill innocent people. I understand the leader of one of the best-known groups in India walks around Bombay (or whatever they call it now) regularly, unmolested. This must stop. Update: I understand they've killed all the attackers, but I'm sure some got away. Hunt them down and kill them. Liberals will whine loudly that I have the temerity to say this, but this is the REALITY. If we don't kill them, they'll ultimately kill US. Is this the "test" our new vice president warned us against? If so, it's a little early. (Yahoo News/AP)

"Pornography" in Media?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, November 27, 2008 4:20:52 PM
News asked Senator Chuck Schumer if liberals in Congress will try to implement the so-called Fairness Doctrine--a measure specifically designed to shut down Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and conservative talk radio.     Schumer replied indignantly: 'Do you think we should allow people to put pornography on the air? Absolutely not. Particularly on television or radio.' " Looks like Schumer "let the cat out of the bag" on their scam. Surely he's not so stupid as to think an opposing opinion is "pornography," but he (and other liberals) hope gullible bureaucrats at the FCC are. Hannity, Limbaugh, and the others ARE "fairness" because most other outlets hew to the liberal line. Liberals think there are only TWO sides to ANY issue: theirs, and people who disagree with them, for ANY reason. That Schumer could "get indignant" about this offends me. It is those people they want to "shut up." If they can, there will be NO "fairness" in media. That's the way they want it. To me, THAT'S "pornography in media." Limbaugh has said, "Liberals out of power are FUNNY. In power, they're DANGEROUS." Is there anything righter than that? (CFIF)

No "Commutation" Wanted!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 3:56:19 PM
President Bush should not "commute" the sentence of former Border Patrol officers Compean and Ramos, who were jailed for more than TEN YEARS for doing their job! Yes, they DID "go against" a stupid policy that forced them to ASK PERMISSION before pursuing the smuggler, therefore allowing him to escape before it could be obtained. But does that merit TEN YEARS in prison and having their lives forever ruined by being convicted felons who can never work in law enforcement again? No. It might merit a few days without pay while "more intelligent heads" change the policy that is so stupid I shouldn't even have to mention it. If Bush "commutes" their sentence, they might get out of prison. But that "convicted felon" thing would remain and they could never work in law enforcement again, and could not vote in most states. He needs to give them a FULL PARDON and pay them back pay for the years they've spent in solitary confinement after other prisoners beat them unmercifully. No. Don't "commute" their sentences. Give them a full pardon so they can at least work in law enforcement. I understand the Border Patrol is having trouble recruiting people after this, and their part in the kidnapping of Elian Gonzalez and returning him to that Island prison in Cuba. Too bad.

"Experts" Are Not Expert

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 3:52:15 PM
I'd write a book detailing all the ways "the experts" have been wrong in the past if that book had not already been written. I've given up even COUNTING the number of times "the experts" have been "stunned" by things that have happened. This book details many of their screwups. Such as "fawning" over Mao Tse Tung and Fidel Castro, telling us the USSR isn't really "bad" and that it is a good example of how communism can work--until it collapsed of its own weight while trying mightily to support other communist nations who weren't able to do it on their own. I'm beginning to think that being wrong is a REQUIREMENT for you to be considered "an expert." Go to this link and find a copy of this book. You will be enlightened about "the experts." (Café Hayek)

Zawahiri Afraid

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 3:49:42 PM
He "warns us:"Don't send more troops to Afghanistan." Which means that's what he's afraid we'll do. We can learn a lot from the output of the likes of Zawahiri. If he tells us not to do it, he's afraid we will. So let's do it. He actually thinks if he says not to do it, we won't. al Qaida is largely defeated in Afghanistan, and he doesn't like it. He says we're "siding with Israel." So what? Should we side with his murderous thugs who kill indiscriminately? Sheesh! He claims "victory" in Iraq. What a lame-brain! We won in Iraq in the first WEEK! Since then, we've been "cleaning up" his troops. (One News Now)

"Consumer Confidence"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 5:35:27 PM
What has that got to do with anything? The simple answer is, EVERYTHING! It is LACK of "consumer confidence" that CAUSES recessions and depressions. As I've said before, it's all in your mind. If consumers THINK that "cash is tight" and hold onto THEIR cash, a recession, or in some cases, a DEPRESSION ensues. All it takes to "solve the problem" is to convince the consumer there IS no problem. Unfortunately, the Democrats (liberals/socialists) know that a good economy doesn't help them gain or retain power, or move us one inch closer to socialism, the philosophy that requires the THEFT from those able to EARN, to give that stolen to those who DON'T earn, but who have a vote. We've had a long-lasting good economy since Ronald Reagan lowered taxes and thus ENDED the recession the Democrats left him, while DOUBLING the "tax take" by giving INCENTIVE to those whose investments BUILD the economy. The most recent Democrat administration, Clinton's is STILL taking credit for it while doing everything it could to destroy it. They finally made it, working "behind the scenes" in a REPUBLICAN administration, and CREATED the "financial disaster" we're in now. It amazes me that the American voter is content to allow those who CREATED the "financial disaster" to supposedly END it; the same people who were in that Clinton administration. Remember, these are the people who have been working diligently to CREATE a recession so they could use it to win the election. It worked. They will not "solve" the problem. They will only make it SEEM like they have, while "picking your pocket" anew with higher taxes they SAY are necessary to pay for the BILLIONS of dollars they have been "throwing at" various groups. It frustrates me to watch this happen while most Americans "ignore politics," and thus allow it. (Yahoo News/AP)

Crooks in Charge

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 5:31:33 PM
You wonder why there are never any meaningful investigations of Democrats, while ANYTHING a Republican does is "investigated" endlessly? There's a simple reason: the Democrats are in charge of the means of investigation and prosecution, so any "investigations" of Democrats will be a "dog and pony show" designed to convince us they are really DOING something while covering it up, like a cat in a sandbox. Meanwhile, ANY Republican indiscretion will be ":investigated" endlessly and if ANYTHING is found to actually be wrong, the Democrats will make the most of it. Like the congressman who made some foot and hand motions in a restroom that a biased policeman INTERPRETED as a "request for gay sex" and conned him into signing a plea agreement as a means of "making it go away," then giving it to the press, while "censuring": (the dog and pony show) Democrat Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) for letting his gay boyfriend run a gay whorehouse out of his apartment. This is the kind of double standard there is in the Democrat Party. So why are we surprised that BILLIONS of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to Obama go uninvestigated while they go after those to McCain (true or not)? (IBD Editorials)

Gore Lies

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 5:28:48 PM
"Despite record snows and low temperatures around the world last month, a major Al Gore supporter says October was the hottest on record. The only thing being cooked here is not the Earth, but the books." And he expects us to believe it. Mostly because most people don't pay attention to politics and thus are IGNORANT of the facts. Funny; it doesn't FEEL hot. How Gore keeps fooling people about this, I don't know. Except for PROMOTING their ignorance and repeating the lie, over and over to anyone who will listen, as Hitler's PR guy said you should do to make a lie into the "truth." (IBD Editorials)

Unbelievable?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Monday, November 24, 2008 8:13:03 AM
News Max says it's "unbelievable" that they're going to inspect McCain's fundraising, but not Obama's. It's NOT unbelievable to me, since the Democrats CONTROL the entire system: investigation and inspection, and the Republicans do not. Thus, the REPUBLICAN will get audited, and the Democrat will not. What's "unbelievable" about that? It's "standard operating procedure" for the Democrats. (News Max)
