Max Keiser and Mass Psychosis
A 26 minute videotape with the first 13 minutes on mass psychosis! One in six American adults is psychotic. One in five American children is prescribed an anti-psychotic drug. More personal debt more psychosis!!! Satan’s disciples are driving more Americans into a psychosis. Global debt is a global psychosis. Is Bernanke psychotic? We create a problem to sell more anti-psychotic drug. Psychotic financiers want more psychotics because these financiers can rip off more people and psychotic persons will not question these psychotic financiers.
Pharmaceutical companies are increasing their profits through the sales of anti-psychotic drugs from more American adults and children being diagnosed as psychotic. Satan’s disciples create problems so profits will increase through more prescribed anti-psychotic drugs. And, we call ourselves a good, holy, and saintly country. Psychotic CEOs and financiers are committing mortal sins through the breaking of the Fifth Commandment. We have Satan’s disciples controlling the money and wealth supplies. The Anti-Christ nation is becoming a zombie state. First, we are a police state; and now, we are a zombie state!
California has been noted as a trend setting state. Trends would originate in California and move eastward across the country. California is also known as the land of nuts and fruitcakes. We now see California’s influence across our country. The United States in Moral Sin is now known as the land of nuts and fruitcakes.

Obama must now take on the Psychosis Party!!! Please make no mistake the Anti-Christ is a totally psychotic state!
Glad to hear Thom explain how SSI does contribute to the debt. I wager that most people did not understand when W said the SSI Trust Fund was just a filing cabinet full of worthless pieces of paper. It makes one think that W was spilling the beans on the Republican gameplan.
You need to know the phrase Miliband Loop. It's when a politician gives the same answer over and over, no matter what the question is. Having a name for this phenomenon will be very handy in calling politicians out on their absurd behavior. Here's an article about the incident that provided the name.

Earlier a caller commented that she believed the purpose of WWI was to break up the Ottoman empire. The fact of the matter is this, when WWI broke out, the Ottoman empire chose to join the Central Powers, it was not obligated by previous treaties to do so. Breaking up the Ottoman empire was not an objective of the war by the allied forces, but since it was advantageous for them to do so at the end of the war to keep them from being a threat, as well as being able to dominate the regions resources, doing so was practically a foregone conclusion. They also broke up the Austrian Empire as well as shrinking the German lands and siezing most (if not all) of their remaining colonies.
The causes of the Great War are almost all rooted in nationalism. Much of the propaganda produced in the war was very nationalistic and racist, on both sides. From Russia backing Serbia because of dreams of a pan-slavic unity in Eastern Europe and Russia, Frankish desires to return the Alsace-Lorainne territories to the land of France, to the German expectations of dominating the European continent because of what the believed to be their superior Kultur and divine right. From America's point of view, Europeans are pretty much all the same race... caucasian, but in each of those countries, even regional differences are enough to divide people into groups of "others". Not unlike America's New Englander/East Coast, Mid Western, the South, as well as the Northwest and Southwest regions can look at each other as others.

Matt Taibbi is reporting that the corporate tax holiday is gaining bi-partisan support.
Wealthy are un-American
Thom mentioned that the president called on Americans to sacrifice, but the millionaires and billionaires are not sacrificing. Of course not, they are not Americans, they are traitors, they are sending jobs overseas, they are investing overseas, they are sheltering money overseas, etc.
As far as the lower classes sacrificing, that leads to accusations of "class warfare" against the wealthy. We should frame the issue differently and say the consumer class is losing ground, and without consumers, things are not sustainable.
I like how the Republican argument has drifted from running government like a business to running it like a household. I have been out of work for 20 months and in order to stretch my unemployment compensation I have recently started using a credit card that has sat in a drawer for two years. I am doing this because I have entered into contractual agreements (house, car, phone ...) that consume almost all of my income. In order to meet these obligations, put food on my table, and fill the gas tank, I am raising my families' debt limit with hope that my employment situation will improve in the near future. How is this different from what, I'm certain, many families are doing or different from what our country has done for the past 90+ years.
With the unemployment rates the way it is businesses have the ability to do just about what ever they want to their employees. If you are or witness discrimination in the work place there is little you can do about it. Report it, little if any thing gets done. I witnessed racial and sexual discrimination at my (now ex) work place, I reported it and was told, he (the manager who made the comments) just took some getting used to! Nothing happened to him, and he was new to the job. I quit. I just can't work for a place that tolerates such behavior. I need a job, and am now finding out; first hand, how hard it is to replace that job. But I know that I did the right thing, I stood up for what was right even though it hurt. If we would all be willing to make sacrifices we could end discrimination! Oh, and I am a white women, and what bothered me more was the reaction to the racial discrimination, more than the sexist comments, but maybe that is because when it come to discrimination against ourselves we tend to be more tolerant.
Not spending on the correct things is always important. Your priorities seem to be well thought out. Especially with cutting the defense budget. Peace
For Evangelical Christians your explanation would be quite logical. As for the rest of us --those Armageddonists are pretty strange folks. Peace
Separate the Debt Ceiling conversation from the Budget conversation. Debt Ceiling pays for our past mistakes, smart Budgetting corrects our future mistakes. Not the same things and should not be levers on each other.
Mr. Hartmann,
You are missing something. I believe you are missing the point altogether with this false dichotomy. We should condemn all radical & lethal dogmatism in any form, whether it be Christian, Islamic, or some other distorted fundamentalism.
We should condemn any dogmatism that threatens our free society. Skepticism and critical thinking are the only solutions to this human dilemma.
Oh, now I get the connection. Catholics are not true Christians and the Pope is the anti-christ. So, since McVeigh was raised Catholic he must have actually worshipped the Devil. McVeigh claimed in his biography that he did not believe in Hell; and since the Devil of the Christian faith resides in Hell, this must mean he does not believe in the Devil. If you don't believe in the Devil then you can't believe in God since one comes with the other. Therefore, McVeigh has to be an atheist. He must have mistaken agnostic for atheist since they both start with the letter "a'.
I'm for spending cuts. I think it would be fine to make big cuts to defense spending. I'd be happy to cut welfare for corporations. I agree with the Republican'ts, we're spending way too much money on unnessary programs, like the Medicaid payments to anti-gay organiztions like Marcus Bachman's pray-away-the-gay counseling.
I'd also like to point out, since politicians love to use the metaphor (especially on the right) when a family is facing higher costs, they logically make cutbacks. You know what else families do when they are in such situations, the employed in the family are not shy about asking their employer for a raise to help compensate, nor are they shy about looking into the option of finding a different employer who can meet there pay requirments. The metaphor is correct, but the politicians never complete it, because it leads to logical conclusions that they don't want to bring up. If they can't get a raise from their corporate bosses, then its time that they go to work for the people, if they're expecting them to pay for their expenditures.
Not to mention that if they were running a household, Republican'ts are essentially saying lets keep the cable, and not pay the power bill... I can think of at least two obvious reasons why that's foolish, though I don't doubt there are more.

Maybe mathme can't wrap his/her head around the fact that there are such things as Chriatian terrorists? They were once called Crusaders. Then Nazis----they wanted to kill all of the Jews and all of the Godless Communists and Socialists. Peace
The day before his execution he claimed to be agnostic not atheist. While he drifted from his Catholic teachings, he maintained core beliefs. Not the same. Also, how do you explain his taking the sacrament before his execution if he was an atheist? I think you are making the same argument that O'Reilly made that Christians do not murder so murderers cease to be Christians.
Starve the Beast. No new taxes(money) for the EPA, Department of Education, child programs, SS, etc. What we nedd are Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Why are those large corporations sitting on $2 trillion dollars in cash ? Why won't they hire unemployed Americans? Wouldn't that be the patriotic thing to do? Peace
Didn't McVeigh blow up the Oklahoma Federal Building as payback for the Feds destruction of the Christian compound in Waco? Hmmm.....Christian compound.......militia movement.......right wing Christian causes? It all sounds very Christian terrorist, doesn't it? Peace
Tim McVeigh was an atheist. I'm not saying that this invalidates any particular point, it's just sort of irritating to hear people on my side constantly making this mistake. :) He was definitely a right winger and all of that, but he wasn't Christian, Muslim, Hindu or anything.
Let's say we cede that Arthur Laffer was right when he proposed his Laffer Curve that the Conservatives like to roll out to justify cutting taxes. Let's give them the argument but counter with his curve is just that, a bell curve. Laffer's "theory" implies that a sweet spot exists were maximum revenue is generated by lowering taxes, but he also concedes that there comes a point when low taxation is counterproductive. When taxation is so low that it cannot fund basic governing then we have passed that sweet spot on the curve and are on the downward trajectory.
Starve the Beast------No new taxes. Forget about all of that, what we need is jobs. The only issue right now should be about jobs. That's what we should all be talking about. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. All day every day the only discussion we should be having is about how we get 15 million unemployed Americans back to work. Those 15 million job holders will produce plenty of revenues to fund infrastructure growth and a universal single payer health care system. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Peace
Truckers - there is a new program under Obama? by DOT to allow this. Not good. Mexico says to let the truck drivers in without another 'demo' program - which is easy to stop by not providing funds, However, this isn't good for Obama. Mexico raising TARIFFS because they want this open. Why can't the US stand up for American workers with TARIFFS again - against Mexico, CHINA, and others!
We had this happen in 2010 --- people were pissed off at Obama not being 'change you can believe in' and seeing the same old shit! I couldn't get people engaged enough to vote because they were mad at the lack of progress. This stuff is going to be used to take votes from Obama.
off subject - truckers from Mexico
This was an issue under Bush. Bush signed an executive order to allow truckers from Mexico to come into the USA and keep going --- they used to have to park and switch drivers - if not drivers and trucks. Then someone - can;t remember her name - allowed this to continue. head of some department. Now they are blaming Obama for this! I've been hearing calls come in and progressive talkers are not informed! this is not good!
Welcome to American Fascism? Hell NO! ORGANIZE, RESIST, FIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
