I finally have an answer.

I have always branded liberals as being closed minded and unable to see rational thought mainly because if they were ever engaged in conversation and after all their irrational views were dashed on the floor they would come back with classic lines like, "you just don't care if children starve" or "we all need to get along" (translate, why don't you cave in to me) or they simply resort to name calling. 
This has always puzzled me because usually people want to argue their point in hopes they can persuade someone to change their view a little but it hit home to me this morning as I was watching some early morning news clips from yesterday. On one hand you have the Speaker of the House saying, "we are willing to talk and try and resolve this issue" and "we have passed bills which will get the government working again" and on the other hand you have the leader of the liberal side saying "I will not talk or negotiate until you meet all my demands" which in itself is absurd and further proves my theory, it's like one football team telling another we will only play you if you concede victory to us first.
So there you have it in a nutshell, the difference between liberal mentality and rational thought. This should remove any and all doubt about who is closed minded and who is not.

Honest Question

I am not trying to beat a dead horse here in regard to the government shutdown but I have an honest question.
In light of the fact when George Bush was in office regardless of  who controlled the Senate or the House EVERYTHING was totally Bush's fault. It didn't matter if it was the economy, the Iraq war, government spending etc it was all Bush's fault.
So, now we have a government shutdown, high unemployment, nation spending skyrocketing, gas prices doubled (the list goes on) when does this start to become 0bama's fault?
I want some intellectual honest, clear thinking, compassionate liberal to explain it to me, this is not a trick, I'm open minded here, I really want to know.

 BTW don't EVEN try and blame the Tea Party, they don't control any branch of government.

Real hero's of the week

Miriam Carey

Amidst all the hype over the government shutdown we have some poor woman (Miriam Carey) suffering from postpartum depression driving in DC and apparently being confused over the new barricades which by the way I don't know how they afforded to erect if there was no funds (but that is beside the point) anyway she drives around in circles before she runs over a police car, the cops are chasing her around in circles and waving their arms trying to get her attention. Meantime the police are struggling to draw their weapons which takes them over 30 seconds to do so and shoot her dead but at least they spared the life of her 3 year old in the back seat. In the hours that passed we had politicians and the police chief praising them for being hero's and saving the city.
At least we have one less dangerous terrorist running the streets. I just hope the cop that killed her was not white as I would hate to see a replay of the Trayvon Martin trial.
Anyway if you missed the coverage here is a new 16 second video which just surfaced which sheds some light on the whole event.

 

Good Advice

When I was a young person my grandfather used to tell me, "If you believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see you will get along just fine" I have thought about that many times over the years and especially the last few days with all the government shutdown coverage,  DC woman gunned down with toddler in back seat, Navy yard shooting, 0bama blaming everything on the Republicans and the Tea Party, The news media having no clue or just regurgitating the White House views. It is enough to make your head spin. As I was flipping

around the stations last night trying to get some information and getting more and more frustrated with the whole situation I ran across a Pro Wrestling show, talk about refreshing, FINALLY something to watch that is more believable than anything else on TV
I never thought I would see the day that pro wrestling would have more credibility than most of the so called news services. It without a doubt has more credibility than anyone in the current White house.

How stupid people think.

I was watching the local news for a few minuets the other night and they were interviewing a woman
who had tried to visit some federal building only to find it closed due to the shutdown. This woman who was without a doubt a democrat was crying, tears in her eyes and she said "I had heard about it on the news but I didn't actually think people would not be at work, how can we
live our lives if the government is shut down ?"
This mentality is so wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start but that my good friends is how stupid people think and why we are in the mess we are.
Don't be fooled though, the government is not totally shut down, the enforcement departments are operating in full force because they don't want you to taste real freedom in case it becomes addicting.

You know what I really want to see ?

Yesterday (for a short while) the federal government shut down the national parks because of the federal budget. Now I don't really understand why the park service would barricade off national memorials and monuments which are normally wide open parks with no fences except to make a political statement however they did so yesterday.
WWII vets from around the country had traveled to DC to visit the WWII memorial and consequently found it barricaded off.
Which lead me to think, I would dearly have loved to seen those hundreds of WWII vets tear down the barricades and storm the monument much like they did the beaches on D-Day  and defy the park police. I would love to see one of the vets on a bull horn announcing to the police and the media that this monument does not belong to the government but to them and they have no authority to block it off. I would have loved to have seen jack-booted thug riot police arresting hundreds of vets on crutches and wheelchairs in front of the news media and then some government official on TV explaining why these vets who bled and sacrificed so much for their country were being treated this way. I would loved to see the PR nightmare this would be for the 0bama tribe.
This also begs the question, why have we let the government come to control us so much, why do we think we need permission from government to access a public park which belongs to 'we the people'
Is it strange to anybody else that if the national park department was unfunded and shut down then who barricaded them off.  Did employees come in on their own and volunteer their time to do it ? or did 0bama order police (if you look closely at the tape on the barricades it says "police line, do not cross") to block them off to show the public he was the supreme ruler ?
Oh well what you gonna do, this is what everyone wants, a nanny state.
