We ALL need to call and write our State's Senators and ask them to convey to Senator Reid and the rest of the leadership that all of America is more than okay with Congressional (both Senate and House) Republicans taking off for Christmas vacation until the end of this Congressional Session. They are not required to maintain a working quorum and their endlessly continuing obstruction and asshattery only tends to get in the way of getting the People’s business done.

I am sure that this will come as a great personal relief to both Senator Kyl and Senator DeMint who need to spend time communing with their deity after destroying the holidays for so many Americans by blocking the renewal of unemployment insurance payments to a large portion of Americans. We the People should support these good man in their personal pursuit of a greater understanding of anything potentially larger than their egos.

Frankly, I am tired of false piety from folk of low character and shaky moral fiber . . .

Additional Comments for December 16, 2010

A Hot Topic

There has been much talk about surviving a nuclear holocaust. Apparently, radiation dissipates quite rapidly and we can go on living. This talk has been generated by our federal government so that our country can commence a nuclear holocaust. If there are dead human beings, we can use their bodies to recycle the earth. Our skin can be used as fiber for clothing; our bones can be crushed to bind concrete and pavement for our roads and streets; and our eyeballs can be used as marbles for games. Yes, our wasted bodies can be recycled for positive use by our Gestapo leaders.

Sales of Weaponry

Tony Magliano writes a column for the Catholic News Service. He is a great writer. He wrote an article that mentioned the USA is the leading seller of weaponry and weapons of mass destruction. The USA has 70 to 80% of the sales market. The USA sells the weaponry for the bottom line. The USA should discontinue the sale of these weapons. Yes, our country is not without sin in the sale of weapons. We aid in the killing off of the world population because we control between 70 and 80% of the sales market in weaponry and weapons of mass destruction.

Americans must come to grips with the fact that our nation is evil and sinful. We probably dominate the most evil and sinful ways on our planet. You cannot control 70 or 80% of the sales market and not be evil and sinful. Here is how we are sinning. We sin through our cooperation of sales to other countries, by approving the sales to these countries, and by not hindering the sales of these weapons.

America is an evil and sinful nation, probably the most evil and sinful nation in the world. We cannot remain in denial and silent to the fact that the USA is an evil and sinful nation. We cannot go forward in changing our world unless we openly admit our evil and sinful ways.

Depleted Uranium

Scientists are going to study depleted uranium and its effect on the American population. As depleted uranium filters into Iraqi oil, many gallons of Iraqi oil will be brought to America to help America continue her gluttonous ways.

As the depleted uranium is let out through exhaust fumes, it will be in the air and on land for 4 billion years causing many, many health problems in the years to come. Americans will die, become sick, and babies will be born deformed. America’s environment will be deadly for 4 billion years.

Insurance companies will be happy because there will be no need for insurance. Born in America will mean that you have a pre-existing condition and you are not entitled to health coverage.

America’s attack upon Iraq will bring forth unintended consequences. Terrorism will come to America through Bush’s policies and exhaust fumes from Iraqi oil. Bush’s non-scientist board will say to not worry about Iraqi oil. It is safe. Right!

Project for a New American Century will be elated because their goal of a planet with only 500 million people will be well underway.

WHY WORRY ABOUT RADIATION? IT WILL DISSIPATE AND WE CAN GO ON WITH OUR LIVES. WILL THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES KILL OFF THE AMERICAN POPULATION? AMERICA NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT THE LONG TERM EFFECT OF A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST!!!

@Namaimo: Good, then Democrats will be less confused. I am being facitious. Do you even know your legislators and how they will vote? Not voting for them will be fine if you know, but not voting at all seems that worse will get past, Voting third party is fine, if you concede that the greater of two evils may win. Some are fine with things getting worse before they get better, but there is too much of a mix to expect those trying to make it better not to keep if from getting worse enough that something magical will happen. Check out other parties if have already participated in one or the other, but don't be a tea partier. Well I would not even say not to try them or the coffee party.

Lie of the decade: tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs. Wait a sec; that's been a lie since the creation of language, lies, and taxes.

Didn't the Russian lesson get learned by anyone.

you can't win in Afghanistan so why are we there?

Get out and use those $$$Billions for 1 years and $$$Trillions for 10 years, back home and use it to create infrastructure and jobs

Thanks Thom for all you do for the middle class, I should say "working class"

This should be proof positive that Obama needs to replaced on the Democratic ticket for 2012. His delusional and criminal expansion of the Afghanistan war has made the situation much worse and he continues to back away from promises of a hard withdrawal timetable. There is no quantity or quality of SPIN that can redeem president Obama or justify another four years of his "leadership". His tax sellout to the rich elites without a fight or debate has awoken many to the truth. He's weak, incompetent and cowardly. I realized almost two years ago his true nature when chose to "complete" the Bush/Cheney Régime war agenda in Afghanistan. I wish he would resign now.

I think the premise must be this. The republicans won in November and will hold the house as of Jan1. If the tax bill does not pass 2 million people will lose whatever they have been able to hold onto for the past 2 years because there will be no unemployment benefits, (and no stimulus from them either). Middle class America will see their taxes go up 3,000 next year. That’s money that will not go into the economy. That amount of money not in the economy, most people much smarter than me, believe will either stop the economic recovery or reverse it. That would be a disaster for America and who would the republicans point the finger at, Obama and the democrats. Can you say President Romney? I can barely write it. The other part that is tedious about the argument from the left is the cost. Where did all this fiscal conservatism come from on the left? I recognize that the republicans are being hypocritical about this but now so is the left. When have democrats ever worried about borrowing money especially in a crisis? Everybody continues to talk about the how awful it is to be putting the debt load on our kids. Are you kidding me? Look at the numbers. The middle class tax cuts will cost 700 billion. No democrat has ever said they are against that. That is money that is going to have to be borrowed right? Another 80 billion for the unemployment benefits. No democrat has argued against that but it has to be borrowed, right? So what we are arguing about is the 100 billion for the rich. Compared to all we would be putting on the credit card anyway it is hard to accept the screaming from the left that 10% of this whole package is worth the destruction of the economy and a republican president in 2012. I know these arguments make for great talk but they have become about as interesting and listening to news about Sarah Palin. We need to move on and focus our attentions on what needs to be done. There is plenty of work that all this energy could be used to accomplish. I know it is a small point but it also must be remembered large majority of democrats support this.
