StardustPosted Saturday, April 4, 2009, at 6:39 PM
STARDUST! (Everything is marvelous. The world loves our President. It is our greed that causes the world to be poor. President Obama will heal the planet. We need to quit destroying the environment. It's all Bush's fault. We owe third world countries our money because it isn't fair that we have it so good.) Reason eventually returns, and I have a chance to think about the Presidents' plan for the economy. Trillions of dollars, stolen from our grandkids, and yet nothing for small business in America. Nine thousand earmarks! Bill Clinton, Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank, and the rest of the liberal Dems in Congress created all this banking mess, and yet pretend that it all fell on them. Many of these leading Democrats should be in jail, and let's see what CBS has to say about it. Ut-oh! Here it comes! STARDUST! (It's all Bush's fault. If Americans weren't so greedy, we wouldn't have problems. Business people make too much money. People in the business world are bad. Democrats love you. They never waste money. It's the greedy bankers that throw parties while you suffer. It's all Bush's fault. President Obama wants to get all those greedy rich SOB's for you. Believe in Obama, and hate Wall Street. Did we mention that it is all Bush's fault?) You know who is laughing at us? China and Russia. Outwardly, they act like our media. They pretend to have been hit with Stardust! Behind closed doors, they see America, under the leadership of the amateur Obama, slipping from the top of the worlds financial stage, and they like it! I have heard rumors that Ms. Clinton even promised China to use the power of Eminent Domain to back up loans. China and Russia want a new world currency, and they no longer want the United States, and the Dollar to be THE world's currency of power. What does ABC have to say about these things? Oh no. Here it comes again! STARDUST! (What gives the United States the right to be in charge of anything? We are evil greedy people and only Obama can get the world to like us. It's all Bush's fault. We use too much of the worlds' resources. Americans are unfair. Listen to Obama. The United States needs to be under the direction of the United Nations; to make certain we don't harm the world. Obama sees that you Americans are spoiled, and you need to learn how the rest of the world lives. Listen to Obama. Give up your freedoms. Send your kids' money overseas to Islamic groups that George Bush called terrorists. We don't even call anyone a terrorist anymore...accept George Bush!) Actually, more folks around the world that are finding that Obama does not have the god-like prowess or the huge intellect that our media bestows upon him. Much of the world now smiles, and plays along with our media, like they too...have been hit with Stardust! What they see is a American President who is doing FOR THEM what the world once thought as impossible, and that is...dismantling the United States.

Thanks Bro for your comments. I still feel like we are in the Twilight Zone. The leftist propaganda, control of colleges, and domination of popular media, has really created a whacked out culture of sheep.
It seems like our media has decided to continue to lie, and be a part of this "leftist revolution" until freedom dies.
AND, it is not like many who "believe" in Obama are bad people, on the contrary. I have a very good friend (in his 30's) who has bought into much of this Obama propaganda, and I KNOW the guy. He is conservative from head to toe, but years of liberal indoctrination creep into his thinking.
Everywhere you turn nowadays, you got liberals spewing their trash, and some of it gets through. This whole "get the rich" stuff is freakin' scary. This is Nazi Germany stuff. I think it will take some pretty severe circumstances before those under the Stardust shake free and see the light.
I was enjoying the relative absence of bilateral political discussion on this site. Instead of seeing folks like Barney Frank run down by moral majority subscribers (coughcoughcoughG5coughcough), I've been able to read about pleasantries in life through the writings of Betsy, Brian, and even Sam (I still enjoy the Easton Assassin discussion). Then this morning I check out the blog page and KABLAMO!!
*STARDUST* [insert jazz-hand movements]
With a title like STARDUST I was expecting a discussion about the great Willie Nelson ablum or at the very least something to do with 70s glam rock. Then I opened the link and BAM! PING! ZIP!
*DISAPPOINTMENT*
I mean...
*STARDUST*
Of all the words you could have used to describe the infatuation the press has with a president who can legibly complete consecutive sentences, you went directly to "stardust" ? Was pixie or fairy dust a little too far below the level of manliness needed to sound like a legitimate political commentator?
Oh well, the type of dust that has clouded the minds of the liberal media elite is no matter. What's important in this blog is that there is sound, logical arguments. "Ut-oh" here it comes.....
*SHAMWOW*
Crap...
*STARDUST*
(CBS says that Americans are too greedy [somehow I think that wouldn't go over too well]. China and Russia are playing pretend, acting like they have a contact high from stardust, when they're being big jerk heads when no-one is looking [but you'll have to trust me on this, my sources are too super secret to be posted].)
Wow, with arguments like that it's hard to believe that we're the ones suffering from stardust and not you.
Sam, maybe we're all like your good friend; good, down-home conservative people who have fallen victim to the evils of stardust, unicorns, blue diamonds, purple horseshoes, and red balloons.
Please tell us of ways we can cure our wretched condition? Do we have to click the heals of our shoes and wish to go home? Sprinkle ourselves with stardust and think happy thoughts? Find Ann Coulter attractive?
Help us!
I may be in trouble here Billy, because I actually DO find Ann Coulter attractive.
I did enjoy your comments my friend. I would use more "facts" but I have found that "facts" appear to be completely irrelevant to the left.
Billy, on a serious note, last weekend, much to my joy, I got to hold my new grandson, a whole eleven days old. I drove the 500 miles home almost in complete silence thinking about this country and the future in store my grand son.
Hey, I am not the only guy with a new grand son, I know that. Good folks everywhere are trying to figure out what happened, why it happened, and what to do about it.
I do not like crooks, and that goes for Republican crooks or Democrat crooks. I reject the idea that we are in the mess we are in because of Business in America. We have an out-of-control government. Our government could be considered illegal because of how they have trampled on the Constitution. Politicians, Republicans, Democrats, whatever, and a runaway Bureaucracy are the true culprits in America today, not Business.
You could add the various leftist "stink" groups too, like NOW, ACORN, PETA and the like, but greedy power hungry politicians bastardizing our Founding Documents is THE problem.
I want an honorable Press back in the USA. I do not believe that Socialism, or Socialism-light or State-ism, will be good for your grand son, or my grand son.
As always Billy, thank you for reading.
Darn! Here I thought this was going to be something about an interesting star seen from McCook and speculated to be the Space Station or a UFO! Instead I got to listen to Sam rant some more.......
Fred...you really think this was a rant?
Dawg gone it - I thought I had toned down quite a bit.
I'll work on it.
Sam,most people can't handle the truth. Enjoy the change people.
Its tough to see the president bad mouthing our country all over the world. Europe loves Obama. Why shouldn't they. He let them know he has the same hate for America, Americans and all this country stands for just like the Europeans do. We best get used to it because the worst is yet to come. It's the "Blame America First" crowd reborn. You greedy, angry, bitter, Bible believing, gun totin' and now arrogant, derisive and dismissive Americans cause all the problems in the world.
"So, Ann Coulter has a unique attraction and beauty of her own, and she definitely is not a clone."
You're right, she's just the direct decedent of the Crypt Keeper
"That means they like skinny women with big boobs"
Are you really qualified to discuss this? I know you're prone to mass generalizations, but you couldn't be further from truth. Everyone knows the Arianna Huffingtons and Tina Feys of the world drive us nuts.
On top of that, who could have pegged you as the Liberal love expert. I know it caught me a little off guard at first. But after mulling it over in the ol' brain factory, things started making sense...
Since you're the psychology expert, let's set up a case study:
Elderly man
Christian
Veteran
Conservative
Prone to mass generalizations about groups of people
Recognized user of gay-bashing terms despite being quite knowledgeable about the health aspects of sodomy (lest we forget the gay dictionary presented)
When cornered in an argument, usually resorts to name calling, or speaks of violent resolutions.
I know on the surface this seems like your everyday, run-of-the-mill Depends jockey racist. However, after some thought and consultation to a few psychology textbooks I still have, I was able to come up with an alternative theory:
This anger that you harbor (on top of the attraction you have towards the quiet man-ish Ms. Coulter), could very well be from holding conflicting viewpoints your entire life. As a young conservative you were indoctrinated to be manly and do manly things, but your experiences over the years (as well as close confines with other gentlemen during the wars) may have left you wondering could possibly offer you that one of your buddies couldn't. Of course these feelings could not be acted out upon, because you were told that homosexuality was a one way ticket to hell. Because you never had the guts to follow through on your own desires, you now hold indignant feelings towards the gay community, outwardly condemning their actions as godless while inwardly carrying the pain of jealousy and lost chances.
The term for this horrific condition is cognitive dissonance. So the next time you think about spouting off hate or trying to pigeonhole a group of people, instead come to terms with the guy-love you missed out on. You'll be a much happier person in the end. Boo-yeah.
See, it's fun when we all play psychologist! LOL!
Also, I don't own Birkenstocks. That crap is for hippies. LOL!
You forgot to mention that I was spanked during potty training.
G.I. Thanks for your "republicans are repressed queers" quote. But hey, thats alright; really rich from the "party of brotherly love". Do you have any links to support your claim?
I see you as all the same. One side, either side, makes an insidious comment so the opposite side must retaliate in kind. As I replied in an earlier post, responding in kind does not make you superior; it merely makes you equal. In my opinion, if you think that sam and g5 are jerks, or whatever, why must you attempt to be a larger one?
Defending them? You probably take it that way but I fail to see how responding in kind gives you any kind of moral superiority. Have you seen me use any of the language they use? And I am NOT intending to sound any more superior than you do.
As to your last sentence: is "just a hunch" any justification? If so, then perhaps conservatives having a "hunch" about liberals justifys anything they post.
http://www.badmouth.net/top-five-republi...
Doodle - don't fall for GI's BS. Anytime you tell the truth about a liberal or liberalism, they cry foul.
It is an old tactic, but liberals draw it like a gun. I can always tell when I get close to hitting the mark as GI becomes vicious and moronic, and tries to act like a super intellectual all of a sudden.
Jhat uses the same type of paper stack method of defense that GI does. They think if they can throw a bunch of long words together, somehow that justifies their craziness.
Remember the debate between AL Gore and Jack Kemp? Kemp was ready to come out and hammer ole Algore for his liberal insanity, and Algore starts the debate by saying that Kemp is the one Republican who doesn't name-call or insult.
Well, Kemp was completely thrown off and lost the debate.
Anytime you tell the truth about a liberal they will cry foul. They can not defend liberalism, only attack those who expose them.
You conservatives, stop falling for this trick of the left. Truth will set people free, not kissing butt, okay?
And GI, you are the master of name calling and insults. I doubt that you are capable of defending your liberal nuttiness, so I don't expect you too. I expect you to act like a liberal, and you do not let me down.
It is not name calling when you tell the truth. Liberals can not handle that, so they whine like little school kids in the playground.
G5 - Most of these liberals are really God-haters. Liberalism gives them a way to act on their hatred of God.
What did the Apostle Paul say? "God gives them over to a reprobate mind."
G.I. I will take up your offer on one condition. I will castigate sam and g5's extreme conservative posts with the same vigor that you castigate the same type of posts from the far left liberals. And which one of us determines which post is "over the top"?
G.I.
It is out of line to mock Sam an G5 for being gay. I understand that you like getting a rise out of them, but you are coming awfully close to using the term 'gay' as a pejorative, which is disrespectful to homosexuals.
And thank you for the admiration of my (and doodle's) level headedness. I do appreciate the tactic of fighting fire with fire. I will keep trying to fight it with water for now.
But might I suggest minimizing the personal attacks and sticking to attacking their views on the issues. I'm sure you can find a way to do this and still lather the both of them into a nice froth.
Cheers
GI - what attacks? I beleive that liberals and liberalism will get millions more people killed, and destroy our country. I say so, and why.
How is that an attack?
although you didnt address two of my points, I will take up your challenge anyway. This is addressed directly and specifically to sam and g5. I understand your consevatism and am generally of like mind; please tone down the rhetoric and decease with the specific name-calling.
G.I.,
Certainly, G5's attacks are worse than yours. And I suppose you are right about how most gay people would take your comments, with a hearty laugh at Sam and G5's expense.
And, maybe I am incorrect to do so, but I do expect it from G5 and Sam. It seems to me that they have both demonstrated their inability to understand anyone else's position without spouting insults and vitriol. Whereas you seem like a much more reasonable person who understands the opposition positions, and simply disagrees(in an entertaining manner, usually). So sorry if my expectations are higher for you than they are for Sam and G5. I would take that as a compliment.
I would not ask for you to stop being so entertainingly witty, and mocking their positions. That is your style. But in a discussion of ideas, personal attacks serve only to give your opposition ammunition against you, and to push people away from your own perspectives (which is why I smile when G5 and Sam are hateful. Any moderate reading their hate-mongering will instantly be taken aback).
All in all, your personal attacks don't hold a candle to the hatred Sam and G5 can sometimes spit out. Which is one of the reasons I hold you in much higher regard.
I am just concerned, because Sam and G5 continually say things like "liberals are hateful" and "liberals lash out when you criticize them". And any personal attack you make, they can turn around and say "see, I told you so". It gives more credence to their positions.
Cheers friend.
G.I.,
I would also like to add that I think it's important that both liberals and conservatives be critical of their own side when they are in the wrong. For instance, Keith Olbermann blasted Obama last night for his continued support of warantless wiretapping.
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2...
Yo G5 - the thing that is hard to accept or realize about liberals is the self-loathing they have for their own country. To those on the left, America is an evil nasty country that keeps the world down. So when Obama bad-mouths Americans overseas, the left rejoices. Amen Brother!
Jhat, At just what age will you agree that it actually is a baby in that mother, not amorphous tissue mass? Three months, six months? And what do you use for such a determination?
Oh, and G5, did you notice ole GI calling you and I gay. Funny. I don't participate in the bastardization of the English language that the left does. Homosexuals are not gay, they are homosexuals. Gay folks are those who show a lively or merry mood. So GI, in his liberal ignorance, tried to slam us, but he cannot even do that right.
And I am curious about Dear Leaders' claim that Muslims have profoundly impacted America, do you think he was talking about 911? LOL
Sam,
If you'd read what I said, you'd see that I don't make that distinction in my personal life. I don't know exactly where to draw the line, so I don't draw it at all. I don't tell people they should get abortions. And were I a woman, I doubt that I would ever have one. My point is simply that the government should not be drawing that line either, and the determination should be left up to the pregnant woman. (pro-choice isn't just a label, it actually means we are FOR the woman's right to decide).
However, if you want my opinion on where the line might be, I would base my position on the level of brain development. The embryonic brain does not develop rapidly until the 27th week of pregnancy. The brain connections allowing sensory input don't develop until the 31st week. The cerebrum (the most sophisticated part) grows near the very end of the pregnancy. I think I would draw my line SOMEWHERE before the brain begins developing rapidly (week 27).
Of course, I wouldn't draw the line AT 27 weeks, but someplace before 27 weeks. I don't know exactly where I would put it. But I would not presume to make that choice for anyone else.
What I do feel more comfortable with is the fact that 98.6% of all abortions are performed before the 20th week (CDC). A point at which the fetus has no functioning eyes, barely functioning muscles, and a simplistic brain not yet capable of regulating the rest of the body on its own. I think this is safely within the area where my line would be.
once again I fall short in your estimation. I addressed the post directly to sam and g5 but it fell short of your expectations. I am not surprised nor angered. I believe it to be "par for the course".
I wasn't specifically criticizing YOU for being not critical enough of Obama, though reading what I wrote I can see how you took it that way. I think I just wanted to say something about Olbermann chastising Obama and ended up tacking it on to my statements.
And you are correct, the Obama administration has made mistakes. The veteran's care policy was a horrible idea.
For those who don't know, Obama's proposal was to authorize the Department of Veteran's Affairs to charge veterans' private insurance companies for some combat-related care. This was intended to save the department about $530 million a year.
I appreciate the attempt to save money. But these men have already gone through hell for their country, I don't they should be forced to go through the hell of America's private insurance system. Their care shouldn't be subject to high deductibles or the decisions of a profit-motivated insurance company. (incidently, I don't think anyone ELSE'S health care should be subject to those things either)
Fortunately, the administration has already backed off this policy. And Obama has stated the policy is to no longer to be pursued by the administration.
I think all and all, it's been a mixed bag of change and compromise. For instance, the CIA is now closing it's "secret prisons", but the administration is still defending the warrantless wiretapping that he railed against during the campaign.
And, the setting you describe sounds fantastic. I wish I could see it. I'm in the Caribbean for the remainder of the month. It's good to know I'm not the only one spending some time in paradise.
Cheers
GI, the obstructionists, Daschle, Kennedy, Dodd, Durbin, Clinton, Obama, Harkin, Pelosi, Reed and the like, did everything they could to stop anything Bush tried to do.
And, let us not forget a venomous press, corrupted higher education, and Michael Moore.
Once again, you are intellectually dishonest.
Jhat, enjoy the vacation, and I appreciate the debate.
Oh, and GI, I confess that I have not been educated to the point of utter stupidity.
I did not go to college, so I missed out on allot of the liberal indoctrination. Maybe that is why I can still think for myself.
BUT, my kids went to college, and I know, from their experiences, the liberal domination of higher education, and the true betrayal of American principles. American Business principles that helped not only the people of the United States, but the world.
It is folks like you that contribute to the decline of not only the USA, but mankind.
I have spoken from my heart on this blog. I have no monetary gain for my efforts. I believed, as a young father, that if I worked hard, and put my family first, my children, and grandchildren, would have it better than me. You liberals are stealing my hard work, my dream, and trying to steal away the future of my offspring, and their dreams.
How dare you.
jhat - I do not spit out hatred. That was a cheap shot, a little surprising for someone who prides themselves on being above it all.
This is a bit too strong, Sam: "It is folks like you that contribute to the decline of not only the USA, but mankind." Didn't you expect that your blog would draw an array of perspectives, both ideological and pragmatic? I'm impressed by the wit(s), styles, insults (some great lines), research, rationalizations, and personalities that have entered in these conversations. What a uniquely American phenomenon! Please don't undermine it because it doesn't speak well of you and your "heart" on this blog.
Plus, whether you'd like to recognize this or not, you are indeed engaging with one of the most liberal tenets, which is to offer a floor for discussion and debate about the texts that people read, write, produce, and reproduce. Yep, there's a lot of critical thinking in these posts, even from you, and critical theory grew out of the Frankfurt School (mostly socialists) and Marxists (Marx and Gramsci). Point by point, I can take every argument you've made, Sam, and point to a "liberal" base (one the achievements of Western society), even as you argue against it. Some of the great conservatives of the US (regardless of political party affiliation) led the country through liberal ideals. Think Woodrow Wilson, or (gasp!) the Bushes at Yale, or Milton Friedman (in economics). Can't you also be a great American (with conservative ideals) who sees possibilities in others' ideas rather than resorting to statements that betray your own achievements and pride? I think you can. You're smart, maybe even wise, and you have lots of experience. Put that stuff to thoughtful use.
Resi Just
Sam,
Quite simply, americans should be blamed for America's problems. Some magical problem fairy doesn't come around dropping them on us. The problem is that many people in our society will not take on that responsibility.
The economy's current state is in large part due to american's living past their means and not using their heads.
We have had problems with Fidel Castro for years. Who put Fidel Castro in power? The U.S. government.
Same goes for Sadaam Hussein.
There is now wide-spread fear over the threat of nuclear weaponary and war. Who was the first to kill countless numbers of people with nuclear weapons? That's right, the good ole US of A. Not to mention, we are the only country to ever use a nuclear weapon.
And if you have such a dislike for Obama, who do you have to blame for him being president? That's right, the majority of your countrymen.
McCook Reader - Thanks for reading and commenting.
We were attacked in WW2. Would you have been happier if Truman would have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of American boys to take the Island of Japan?
You are right about my countrymen voting in Obama. I would offer that many of my countrymen have been brainwashed and dumb-down.
I know that my countrymen have been under siege from liberals for some time now. One could expect that the constant bombardment from the left has taken a toll on our collective sanity.
Resi Just - Thank you for your comments as well.
When you are right, you are right. I apologize for that statement "it is folks like you that contribute...etc."
I would agree that Woodrow Wilson was engaged in liberalism, one might even say Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt were progressives. Wasn't it Wilson that tried to get us into the League of Nations? Now we have the United Nations, which I would argue is nothing more than the worlds' machine to fleece American Taxpayers.
I am not even sure calling someone a liberal is even the right word anymore, seeing that what "liberals" really vie for is Stateism. Maybe instead of liberal, is should be Stateist.
But whatever word we use for the left, the goal of the left is still the same, in my not so humble opinion, and that is the decline of the individual, and individual rights, to set up an oligarchy that would control us in even the most minute areas of life, all for our own good of course.
Your comments are heartfelt and appreciated, and I promise to do what I can to stand for what I believe in a "heart" that God would approve of.
G5 - you and I agree on almost everything. I think the term porch monkey is over the top however. I understand the anger, I really do. But our Lord is color blind, and so should we be my friend. Let us not engage in the same type of divisions that the left lives for.
Please don't take my criticism too harshly. I appreciate, more than you know, your time and support. I know we can get caught up in the battle, and we must guard against becoming like the left.
My own daughters, and even my wife, have scolded me when they feel I am too negative or too harsh. I agree with your comments 99.5% of the time, but our enemies will take your one comment, made in the heat of battle, and try and beat us to death with it. You know that is how they operate. God bless you my friend.
