Candidates Need An Economic Clue

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:21:53 GMT

Clip Source: www.forbes.com

The problem with campaigns is they can only voice oversimplified soundbites. Today's challenges are serious and require long-term solutions

presidential candidates McCain and Obama are largely bankrupt of fresh, realistic solutions for what ails the U.S. economy

In their ideology--McCain's free-market laissez-faire and Obama's tax 'em high and create new programs--they are clueless about the shape of the world today.

We'll see if either of them comes up with realistic plans for change that the nation can afford

McCain's top economic adviser, Doug Holtz-Eakin, blithely supposes that cuts in defense spending could make up for reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% and the subsequent shrinkage in federal revenues. Get that? The national security candidate wants to cut spending on our national security. Wait until the generals and the admirals hear that.

"Politics is not about facts. It is about what politicians can get people to believe."

'TODAY WE ARE ALL AMERICANS'

By BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: Today we are all Americans - in grief, as in defiance.

We Are All Georgians

By JOHN MCCAIN

The Georgian people have suffered before, and they suffer today. We must help them through this tragedy, and they should know that the thoughts, prayers and support of the American people are with them. This small democracy, far away from our shores, is an inspiration to all those who cherish our deepest ideals. As I told President Saakashvili on the day the cease-fire was declared, today we are all Georgians. We mustn't forget it.

Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:21:33 GMT

clipped by: sahara

Clip Source: www.amexpat.com

This famous book recounts extreme mass delusion (the "madding of crowds") which has periodically afflicted large groups of otherwise normal people over the centuries, not infrequently those living in the most "civilized" of nations.

These group manias, especially those involving financial "bubbles", starkly and darkly reveal humanity at its very worst. (The Salem witch trials obviously come to mind — and national elections, of course!)

Here we present Volume One, the most popularly known and widely read.

Provocateurs Planning Violence At DNC

We Are Change Colorado has now become aware that another group, Unconventional Action, is planning on being violent at the DNC protests. Violence is a broad term. Some argue that property damage is violent, others might tell you it sends a message. To most of the Truth Alliance and We Are Change Colorado activists, there is no message to property damage and is in fact, a form of violent behavior. In the eyes of the law, property damage is completely, without debate, illegal.

To make the long story short, Unconventional Action seems to be open about their plans for the DNC. Their website, which can be found here: http://www.unconventionalaction.org/ has one link which is pretty disturbing.

Under the link, “The Strategies: How We Win,” a section titled: Denver: Disrupt the DNC, clearly outlines for “Anarchists and Anti-Authoritarians” to “join (them) in Denver, Colorado, August 24th-28th
