Miguel's Comments (51)

“Harmon/Sanchez/my former party don't really care about the people of America if they continue trying to do to our healthcare system what they've done to education across our land. I graduated from our famous Cal Ed high school system rated #1 at the time. As a teacher in that same system I've witnessed the expensive destruction of that once very honorable public effort for the Good of The People. Now Cal Ed is about 46th. In short, in our best Sacramento suburban high school, our wonderful German foreign exchange student suddenly went home after about 6-8 weeks, saying American education was a joke. Her comments were echoed by my polite Swedish foreign exchange student. Cal Ed is the future of your healthcare under Pelosi.

Obamacare is magic thinking by well-intentioned people who are trying to wash off guilt and to emplace blame, engendered largely by distortions of MSM which is connected generally to NY-DC's corrupt combine of wealthy Wall Streeters/money managers/corrupt big city governments/corrupt unions-community organizations, as MSM operatives try to establish their leftist professors' dreamland.

The best way to cover the most people (the fewest needing government help) is to grow the economy/education allowing all to earn their own place in this Greatest Revolution for the Common Man in all of history: America.”

“The school districts across America are going to have to be swept clean of these nanny, fear-mongering, no-score-in-sports, left-leaning, power-grabbing, weakness-instilling bureaucrats. As a teacher in CA's dying public school system, I clearly state that parents would be better off NOT to send their children to these schools. It's becoming crystal clear that the public monies for education must be directed to any and all schools that do good work and not be diverted only to the corrupted teacher-un­ion-contro­lled edu-criminal wastes to which the people's tax money in now fully directed.”

“Comment from a Kennedy Democrat in Cal ED, who's seen too much of what my college comrades have done to Ca.'s Kids and Parents. Joe Wilson included..

President Obama,

Listening to your healthcare speech, we (and Joe Wilson) heard nothing new. Your nicely spoken words displayed contempt for inquiring minds. Americans as propaganda students see deception smoozed over fantasy, like chocolate syrup poured over rock salt, re: economic reality. The con man is always our friend.

We see socialized-medicine in lands whose healthcare is becoming de-humanized, Marxist: inexorably increasing costs, rationing quality. We see more of Brit's NHS institutional plowing their people under. Increasingly, we see Brit babies and older citizens being sacrificed on their Marxist priests' deadly alter.

Lincoln spoke about not fooling all of the people all of the time.

Smoothly omitted truths mated with lies can't negate reading the bait 'n' switch 'healthcare' bill, which subordinates every American to a school-marming statist utopia. Kafka.

Paul Revere's attempted murder.

Thank You,

Since Obama introduced the word "lie" into the room from his own mouth, I sympathize with this Joe Wilson guy, who was clearly tired of Demo-MSM Combine's free-standing lies to the people. Obama was attacking just as much as Joe was.”

“I'll repeat, "Fear of Everything". The link you mention says many pb populations (which we can know about) are doing fine with some in decline. We know nothing about the Russian bears which make up most of the pb population on earth.

I ask you how thick you think the polar ice was when the Incas were sequestering the dead bodies of the little girls they murdered in their human sacrifices at the top of the Andes, where the acknowledged high altitude photographer used by Nat Geo and others says in paraphrase, "I have about 25 seconds to shoot my images before I must put my hands back inside my fur gloves or I will suffer the beginnings of frostbite".

So, The Inca priests had hours or days of climbing time and plenty of time for their rites and ritualized burials, but now we have 25 seconds of time out in the normal air. So what's supposed to be normal to those who fear everything?”

“When John Kerry says the world's Arctic/Antarctic Oceans will be ice free in four short years, he is stoking Chicken Little more than communicating believability. The most recent climatology papers state that Arctic ice is thicker recently than previously, that the Polar Bears are resurgent in health/population, and . . . in which, the President of Greenpeace is quoted that Greenpeace's earlier ice projections were wrong.

Greenpeace's President/others in the real world (and in real science) appreciate the fact that the world is more likely cooling, despite MSM's cheer-leading for Gore. Over 30,000 of the world's climate/other scientists signed a petition seriously disputing global warming as it's been presented. Russian scientists two years ago said the world was cooling, (but, hey, aren't we all smarter'n they are?). Montreal still sports it's large un-melted pile of last year's street-swept snow.

Let Kerry retreat to his privileged life, with his wealthy wife, in corrupt DC and quit his public strife.

3,000+ record low temps in the US this summer indicate what even the most politicized must note. New Hampshire's August 10 degree nights name but one example and there's more in Terre Haute.

A lesson: Once pumped up, neither official low temp readings, nor scientific inquiry can lay soft balm upon Chicken Little's "Fear of Everything" fantasies. Hup, hup.”

“If you've been in broadcasting for 50 years you may have been part of the problem of the takeover of the US media by liberal elitists who come mainly from various "schools" of journalism which have become biased to an extreme. These elitists naturally cover for their allies in corruption which blanket DC and the corrupt North East of our land (but exist everywhere). Wherever there is lots of money to be grabbed, there are weasels, criminals, smooth-talking 'insiders', money-managers, political organizations, community development specialists, Art organizations, etc. who gladly plunder and rob "We The People's" money by manipulating various levers of control in and around The Money. These people are interlinked with MSM/governmental insiders/big-city operators, so MSM covers up for them instinctively.

So, have you become part of the MSM status quoist group who don't want any newcomers to horn in on their action? Who don't like other people's ideas? Who ache for "the government" to come to the rescue by forcing out your growing competition?”

“The shooter in the Holocaust Museum was a left-leaning activist if anything. Somewhat difficult to classify by pc standards of today, he was definitely NOT your so-called standard right-winger.”

“Tell Blodgett to get his own investors together and start his own cable network and use his totalitarian pc, elitist (Harvard/Chicago style) imperatives to control what his own audience thinks. Surely they would be "appropriately" lemming-like and have properly "appropriate" attitudes and "appropriate mind-sets which can be harnessed to react emotionally and with the violence we see on college campuses where their Marxist priests seek to properly civilize them to hate all the "appropriate" targets hated by the left.”

“Slavish validation by fan numbers isn't remotely intelligent. There are many who I'm happy not to have as fans on various anti-inquiry intellectual poseur sites.”

“It's the sixties only in the minds of drug-addled baby-boomers who still insist upon the brain-dead self-absorbtion that created the social malaria called the sixties. I don't get S.S. yet and I haven't seen a doc for almost 30 years, but I do speak for our English family friend, Kathleen. She who was murdered by our American standards by a Brit "Death Panel" who decided that she was 'too old' to get cancer drugs freely available over here. On her last visit this beautiful, vibrant woman strongly said to me, Miguel, Never Grow Old in England!" Too bad she went back to England after her American husband died. She'd still be here with us today instead of inhabiting her "death plot" in England.”

“Sanders speaks like a comfortable cog in the wheels of NE progressiveism, funded by the blood, sweat and tears of the rest of America. Corrupt politicos of DC/NY/Chicago always fund themselves, cronies and allies with money hiested from the public.

As a JFK Democrat, I know exactly why the people are angry at these normally quiet townhall affairs. It's because I've learned ( as we all are) how the political class regard themselves as separate and "smarter and better" than regular citizens, like "Animal Farm's" famous: "Some animals are more equal than other animals". The Demos have the press as their lapdogs, the publicly funded university systems, publicly funded support groups such as Acorn, the baby-killer Planned Parenthood started by racist Margaret Sanger, to name a few of their monopolies.

So, anything close to the truth can never see the light of day in the public forum, and now Pelosi, et al, are calling old people whom they want to kill, "Nazis and their new pc, "bullies" who dare to disrupt their politely-spoken death decisions made secretly in DC and announced at these increasingly fake meetings. No amount of bussing in SEIU union thugs will make people believe their cleaned-up act anymore.

Some people prefer other people do their thinking for them, just telling happy stories over the radio or TV from the safely distant comfort of their government-provided housing units. This way they can remain child-like for their entire lives.”

“Please stop your crying. You're speaking of societal ills occurring over a long time and have swallowed the line: "Republicans are the root of all evil". My former party's lapdog press has programmed you like Pavlov's dog. I've suffered the severe pain of Seeing that the Democrats are mostly full of sh_t. Here in Ca. they've destroyed our economy, killing millions of jobs, killing our hopes, dreams and prosperity. Today I saw more empty than occupied storefronts in an affluent suburb of Sacramento, traffic half what it used to be, feelings growing hard. They've just turned off the water to California's largest industry, agriculture, killing 80,000 more jobs, murdering yet more hope, as they pray to their enviro-Marxist god: that they might be able to continue destroying America from elitist academia. How's that for revenge for being picked last for P.E. teams in Jr. High?.

They just SAY they are FOR THE LITTLE GUY. They actually grasp for ever more power, behind closed doors, like they've done in Ca. to control our money. Economic doom awaits all who swallow their phony line, like they have in Detroit (47% illiteracy rate, 10,000 unsolved homicides, 25% high school graduation rate).

Money isn't the root of All Evil: Love of Money is The Root of All Evil. Democrats and their minions: their corrupt union/MSM lapdogs basking in Demo-given public dollars conspire together for The Love of Money.”

“Dave Palen,

I'm pleased to see you can see through the BS poured on so thickly be our MSM. Out here in California your suggestions have been taken seriously by my college comrade-era California gerrymandered legislature in it's high idiocy. My former party has destroyed our once powerful economy, wrecking the hopes and dreams of my students and all of our prosperity. Our household uses no AC in our vain hope to stay above water in a swamp of ever-increasing un-employment and encroaching poverty. My students have no hope in a land where once a smart kid outta high school could have a wife and be buying a home five years outta high school. Now they're lucky to be a 'barista' at Starbucks.

The California politician power-mongers who take your satirical advice truly hate the people, since they have sacrificed all of our Good on their alter of party politics, Saul Alinsky, and their Marxist god. They've used Obama-like methodologies predating Obama's idiocy in their genuine effort to kill our economy and our freedoms. They just put 80,000 more Californians out of work this last week in our Great Central Valley as they bow to their environmentalist priests by withholding water from farms, orchards, ranches and anybody who does anything (outside of their university academics).

Do they all hate their daddies? Is that why they conspire to kill all work, productivity and prosperity for the people?”

“Kronik,

Isn't it all just so easy? As nice as you make it all sound, your assumptions re: Medical are massively off base. One of my compatriots has worked in California Dept of Health Services (DHS) for decades in rules enforcement and he says that almost 40% of Medical's budget is fraudulent on a variety of fronts. This fact springs from medical suppliers, doctors, clinics, pharmacies, patients, government bureaucracies and many other sources. Once "free" public money becomes available, the criminal impulses of the populace comes out swinging big-time, fueled by corrupt Hollywood's endless models for dis-honor shown on the world stage.

Our family has as friends English victims (now pre-maturely dead) of English 'universal healthcare" well enough to clearly understand that the only way to 'save money' is to ration care for the older people. It's just so much cheaper to just not treat expensive regimines for the old, Or For The Young! Giv'em pain pills and let'em die; just say nice things while you do it.”

“Name-calling is all the empty-minded can manage, the art and trouble of thinking, evaluating, much less empathizing with 'other people' being above their pay grades. Truly respecting and caring about/for the world's 'other people' is way too hard for the pampered pedigogy of the American universities, and certainly for their unfortunate students/lemmings.”

“It's amazing to find such lack of knowledge being so loudly printed/broadcast across the earth. t
The Honduran government is more than just the one-strong­man-govern­emnt that the corrupt UN, Hugo Chavez and the Criminal Castro bros, are championing. Neither the NY-LA Times, nor corrupt politicians of the world have any business lying about the People of Honduras getting rid of a budding criminal as their power-grasping ex-president, Zelaya. The Honduran Constitution was designed to do exactly what it guided their government to do. Namely to prevent dictators to take over the country (which has been an endemic problem in Latin America).

That Very All Important Provision is what Castro, Chavez, Ortega and others have circumvented. These guys are all dictators who will kill anybody they want/need to to keep their power. All they've needed is the sham of MSM/Jimmy Carter faked elections to fool enough people to get them to voluntarily give up their power, responsibility and freedom.

The con man is always your friend. Leave it to American "feel good" elitist wannabes to try to send yet another nation of "Other People" down the tubes of Marxist enslavement.”

“Of course not. The leftists who celebrate Jimmy Carter's gift to the Iranian People would never want their gift to lose their stranglehold power over the hapless people of Iran. Marxist-led parasites the world over celebrate the destruction of the Freedom of the People in order to facilitate their plunder. Hence, Obama's fear of actually caring about the Persian People's freedom and personal powers (their hopes and dreams) forces him to hide behind fake words like the modernized pc Chamberlain he is.”

“Some people will do anything to avoid thought or having to consider things that contraindicate complete compliance with preconceived happy sitcom-level fantasies. Who is it who's listening to one source?”

“To the person calling themselves Due Truthfulness, . . . who seems more interested in political posturing than in truthfulness: Bush did in no way de-regulate the banks as you say. The demos were covering their socio-economic crimes, so to speak, in disallowing any penetrating look by their media friends or the body politic re: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which they'd plundered so heavily.

Neither I nor anyone else says that the banking/insurance institutions were totally innocent and did nothing untoward in this wild mix of lies, deceptions, government pressures, criminal plundering and old fashioned greed. I have friends who got these loans and they say they were never asked their income and pressured to borrow more than they wanted (under the 'new' demo-led rules).

AIG story is complicated, too complicated for demo reporters to honestly communicate. Indeed part of AIG does belong in jail, but a small part.”

“starlady7,

No buyers ever purposely overprice that which they want to purchase, be it cars, houses, wedding rings, or tomatoes. When there are more buyers than sellers the pressure for price inflation erupts to the exact degree that the pressure forces it upon the marketplace. So . . . . when my former party forced the Community Reinvestment Act's demands upon the marketplace, many more home buyers than the real economy could support were created. Those millions of fake buyers (unqualified buyers who were being bankrolled by the US treasury or forced upon the banks w/o recompence) simply provided more buyers than sellers. This twisted the economy into fake pressures to up prices for houses where more "buyers" existed than sellers, forcing the price upward to two times the real value in California, for instance. This cost EVERY HOMEBUYER IN CALIFORNIA to pay up to DOUBLE the real value of their homes. Now they've been economically killed by my former party.”

“Vippy,

Please do some reading outside of your pc intolerance. The "Community Re-investment Act" preceded both Bushes and Reagen, going back to Carter (21% interest rates if you can remember). Carter's incalculably horrific "feel good" mistake took 30 years to build to it's intended fruition to wreck our economy, powered on by Clinton's forcing the US treasury to back up banks losses by increased forcing of trillions more of bad fake "loans" into our economy which our treasury finally had trouble covering by the time George Bush got into power. By 2003 and further by 2006 Bush's attempts to look into the oncoming catastrophy was blocked by your friend Barney Frank who stole more from America by millions of times than Ted Stevens for example. But since he's a democrat you will happily let him destroy your children's future.

Just because you hate George Bush, doesn't give you the right to refuse to learn or to verge upon using the well-known thing, known as the thought process. Learning requires learning what you didn't know or want to know. I did it and it was painful, but I'm far better off for it.”

“While Sarkozy has some semi-valid points, there is plenty of the kettle calling the pot black in this article. My former party has done it's best to destroy Capitalism in America with it's "Community Re-investment Act" in trying to mimic France's government controlled economy. This "Investment" was Jimmy Carter's other great gift to the world, besides his ushering in Iran's murderous theocracy.

This "investment" powered on by the dopey Clinton administration's adding the backing of the US treasury to this "feel good" act forced banks to "lend" trillions of our dollars to the credit unworthy. This bungling had the bogus buyers' effect of doubling home prices in California for EVERYBODY, where many more "buyers" than sellers perverted the market. Un-tellable damage to California's economy resulted. Mainly, it forced banks to find any way possible to survive by shady means, in order to follow the government's perverse dictates run by idiots like Barney Frank. Any 'world regulation' will automatically mimic Barney Frank more than sanity.

Euro-banks/world's banks indulged in similar perversions of financial responsibility as the floodgates opened to liberal "feel good" money criminality.

Years ago I heard money people saying this overpricing of homes was vastly harmful, deeply destructive to the ENTIRE economy. Dependence begets servitude.”

“reblue,

You need to do some real beyond pc learning re: California's Energy problem of major proportions back in Grey Davis' dying tenure as Cal Gov. Daniel Weintraub, Sacramento Bee columnist wrote a long article blowing the lid off the normal lies of The Bee re: demos' Cal Gov operations, describing the Cal Gov Energy authority which was smarting under the high prices demanded by Washington State's Bonneville Power Administration and Canada's electricity sales entities.

Grey Davis' people contacted Enron down in Texas as I remember and pressed a convoluted arrangement on them which Enron doubted was legal. Cal Energy assured them it was legal and only for until the other companies brought down their electrical prices.

Once Enron became sure this highly questionable arrangement was legal, they simply turned it on it's head to California's disadvantage, paying Cal Gov back for massive destruction Cal Gov had done to their interests beforehand­..”

“Our thermostat's at 51 degrees F. here in Sacramento, Cal. where a Cal Dem form of Obama-Geithner's "stimulus" plan has been in effect for a few years now. The result is the tanking of our once 4th greatest economy on earth. 9,000 earmarks in Obama's "earmark free" stimulus bill mimic Cal Dem's definitive attempt to similarly wreck our economy in order to take it over.

They say "capitalism has failed", when in fact government agents themselves have purposely destroyed hundreds of thousands of companies, large and small. Millions of jobs/our prosperity have been run overseas/across the American West, through Cal Enviro-Dem's overtaxati­on/regulat­ion/court decisions.

As an art teacher/former demo, I've recognized (against my will) Cal Dem's harm to our kids/paren­ts/communi­ty. "Unauthorized truths" are difficult/painful to learn. When so many jobs/careers are sacrificed to their Marxist god, increased levels of divorce, familial violence, poverty/ho­melessness­, occasional murder/suicide, are inherently attributable to Cal Dem's purposeful destruction of Cal Families' prosperity.

I remember when my former political enemies (the Repubs) ran a prosperous California where everyone freely worked/earned their part of the American Dream. "California leads the nation", they say. After they've looted all other ready cash, robbing our unborn grandchildren conceptually, seems a cowardly way out.”

“King R here is going to need to do some real reading of history and learn something considerably deeper than the fools at Democracy Now can offer. This guy might have been a good fellow traveler with another Anti-Semite of about 70 years ago in another land, who also was an electric speaker, generating millions of lemmings.

It's my hope that the Israelis no longer are cowed by the Anti-Semite marxists making their home in the UN, Russia, Europe and American universities, the MSM and leftist political parties, essentially parasites all. In earning my three degrees, for the most part, I saw that there is nobody more stupid than a PhD, from an American university. The real meaning of a do-gooder is someone who gets other people killed for no real gain.”
