CSPAN: Assistant Leader Mitch McConnell- 'Opposed Filibustering Judicial Nominees: Back in 2005'

"Senator McConnell Opposed Filibustering Judicial Nominees" 

From Democracy Or Hypocrisy

The whole Senate filibuster debate, part of it is definitely about hypocrisy, depending on which party is in charge. 

Senate Republicans the current minority caucus in the Senate, are using to their full advantage with the 47 members a very large Senate minority (soon to be 45 members in the next Congress) the ability to not only block but obstruct legislation. Which is a little different, for the minority party to block legislation, you simply block the final vote on it. Which is very common in the Senate going back to the 1950s or longer but if you obstruct legislation, you try to kill the legislation even before it gets to that point by even blocking it from coming to the floor. 

The motion to proceed rule that prevents the Senate unless there are sixty votes, from even debating legislation. And thats the main problem in the Senate right now, it's not that legislation is not being passed but the simple fact that legislation is not even being debated and considered. And since both sides have a history of hypocrisy on this issue. It's going to take a bipartisan solution to fix the obstructionism in the Senate.

From Benny C

Good to hear some real conservative opposition thought in Britain, at times even British Conservatives sound like Progressives or Social Democrats in Britain. Doesn't mean I agree with Lord Christopher Moncton as someone who is not a Nationalist which is what this guy sounds like as someone who believes foreigners and other are trying to brainwash British children. 

Britain does now have a growing nationalistic Far-Right even what is called in America a Tea Party. And I have more faith in the local auto mechanic's knowledge about brain surgery than I have in Alex Jones when it comes to anything related to news and current affairs in general. 

UK Conservatives and even their leader Prime Minister David Cameron, have somewhat of a tendency to sound like American Progressives or Social Democrats when it comes to social policy. Not as Far-Left as the Labour Party (but who is, at this point) in Britain, which is hard to do even in Britain. But not what in America would be known as a center-right Conservative Party that promotes individual freedom and conserving the U.S. Constitution.

From the PBS NewsHour

There may be some type of Independent State of Kurdistan that could be emerging from the revolution against the Assad Regime in Syria, where Syrian Kurdistan would merge with Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkish Kurdistan. Similar to what happen to the Jews in the Middle East after World War II, where they were rewarded with the Jewish State of Israel as a result of the ethnic discrimination they received in Europe and Arabia. 

A United Kurdistan that would also include Kurdish Iran might be the only way to end the ethnic violence that the Kurds have been receiving from Arabs, Turks and Persians. And independent Kurdistan that has a responsible government with checks and balances where the people have the freedom over their own lives and are not held down by their own government. Which is what has developed in Israel for the Jews, as well as Kurdistan in Iraq which operates as an independent province of Iraq. Even when Saddam Hussein was President of Iraq and had dictatorial rule over the rest of the country. 

This would never be easy because Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran, would fight hard to hold onto their part of Kurdistan.

From Lou Dobbs 

I get on the Christian-Right a lot about them wanting to take America back to the 1950s politically in a cultural sense at least, but they are not the only political faction that wants to do this. So-called Progressives (Socialists, in actuality) want to take America back to the 1950s economically and its not just that they want all of the Bush tax cuts to expire, including for the middle class, but they want every tax cut thats been passed since the 1960s to expire as well, that Bush, Clinton, Reagan and Kennedy as President's, because they believe that the more money that the Federal Government has, the more equal the economy will be, because the Feds will have all of these resources to build up America to its potential and no one will ever have too much or too little again. 

And when people say something like: "Well, with my taxes being up so high, how am I supposed to pay my bills, with Socialists answering: "Well, don't worry about it because the Federal Government will now provide the services that you need to survive based on what they believe you need and what little money you have left, you can spend as you please." 

Lou Dobbs called Paul Krugman a "tax and spend Liberal" which tells you how much Mr. Dobbs knows about Liberals. Which is about as much as fish know how to read or who won the last Super Bowl. Its Liberal Democrat Jack Kennedy who first cut our taxes from those huge rates ranging from 25-90% in the 1950s and cut them across the board in the 1960s, not Conservative Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s or Conservative Gerry Ford in the 1970s.  So-called Progressives (Socialists, in actuality) point to Sweden and that it works there, very different country, as far as population and culture. Swedes want to be taken care of, where as Americans by in-large prefer to be as independent from government as much as possible.

"The historian explores a year that he says began with a sense of optimism but that ended with a bitterly divided country and a conservative resurgence that would define later decades.  In 1965, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, sent additional U.S. troops into Vietnam and presided over the race riots in major cities.  The Bancroft Prize winning historian discusses the pivotal year with former Howard University History Chair and author of "Contempt & Pity," Daryl Michael Scott."

From C-SPAN

Very interesting program about race relations in America in the 1960s. I agree with James Patterson that the 1960s wasn't really like one decade, but probably more like two, two-year decades, culturally, politically, how people presented themselves, talked, related to each other. 

1962 doesn't look much different from lets say 1957. Late 1963 post-JFK Assassination is where you see the decade change with Baby Boomers growing up and seeing an America that they don't like that much and don't seem to fit into.

You have the civil rights movement that young adult Americans from the Silent Generation (people born in the 1920s and 1930s) who were a big part of and you have Baby Boomers who were in college and coming of age in the 1960s, becoming part of the civil rights movement. 

The Vietnam War starts becoming controversial as far as America's role in it in 1965. If you look at the movies and music language starts becoming stronger and harder. No more what the devil or darn to express anger and amazement, but instead what the hell and damn, started becoming mainstream words and expressions in American culture. Even though today they would just be considered moderate swearing.

African-Americans, women, gays, started to feel the freedom to be themselves in America and expect that their constitutional rights would be enforced as well as everyone else in the country. 

The mid and late 1960s is where you really start to see free expression and individualism becoming a big part of American culture, as well as our diversity the two things that really make America exceptional. 

So yeah, 1965-69 looks much different from 1960-64, but the 1963-64 looks much different than 1960-62. So you could definitely make a good argument that the 1960s was actually three decades in one, instead of one ten-year decade.

Battle of the Roughriders! You would have to be familiar with the CFL to get that joke, but one reason why the CFL doesn’t get as much respect in America as perhaps it should it because they did at least at one point have multiple clubs with the same nickname. 

But this was a very good Grey Cup game, 23-20 the Red Blacks (as the Ottawa CFL club is called now) beat the Roughriders. Ottawa was able to move the ball well and score points against perhaps the best defense in the CFL in 1976, the Roughriders that only gave up about fifteen points a game. And had the best pass defense in the CFL. They also scored 428 points so they had a very good balanced team. 

The Red Blacks were able to move the ball with their balanced offense and shut out the Roughriders in the fourth quarter.

“I wanted to talk tonight about some things that appear to be contradictions—religions, political philosophies, that are thought to be in conflict, but are not in conflict… I want to try and argue that our politics have been too simplified and polarized, that our culture is too divided, that we need to accept the complexity and flawed nature of being human… [I want to do it] in a semi-autobiographical way, in covering three things about myself that I have been told for years cannot coexist… I want to come out tonight as a Christian. I want to come out tonight as a conservative, and I want to come out tonight—in a much less controversial way—as a homosexual. Certainly, I think Haverford would view the latter as the least provocative identity to grasp, but that’s because you haven’t heard me talk about what I believe Christianity and conservatism really are.”

"Absolutely. I wrote a book on my conservatism, 'The Conservative Soul.' But in so far as the word has been hijacked by religious fundamentalists and emotionally arrested Randians, I am not one of them. I'd fit easily into a conservative party in any other western democracy. But the GOP is a rogue in the western world - the most extremist right-wing party in any modern democracy by a mile. Banning all abortion and all gay marriages? Denying climate change science?" 

From Politico 

Andrew Sullivan is exactly what a Conservative should be in a political sense. He represents exactly what conservatism actually is and not how it's been stereotyped. 

The fact is Andrew Sullivan is a Conservative but the Christian-Right populist Tea Party GOP today is not conservative. (At least in the political sense) Not so sure about that anymore and I guess since they've combined their religious views with their political views, they believe they can credibly call themselves Conservatives.

But the GOP aren't and here's why: a political Conservative is someone who believes in conserving individual freedom. Thats how Barry Goldwater and Ron Reagan built the Republican party that remained intact up until the early 1990s when Bill Clinton became President and the GOP went theocratic and statist. And not just that a Liberal Democrat from the South was now President of the United States of all things.

Everything that President Clinton essentially represents, now came to power as well, someone who was from the 1960s generation and was looking to progress America past the 1950s and that generation and wanted to make America more inclusive for all Americans. 

The Far-Right Confederates were fairly quiet during President Reagan's and President Bush's tenure, but once Liberal Democrats came to power, they made their voices known and the GOP and conservatism has been going downhill ever since.

Tomo News Funnies: 'Marijuana Legalization 2012- Colorado, Oregon, & Washington Vote'

Source:Tomo News Funnies- Holy smokes, Batman! We may finally be able to smoke marijuana legally! LOL

"Marijuana legalization 2012: On November 6, citizens in Colorado will vote on Amendment 64 (the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act), citizens in Washington state will vote on Initiative 502, and citizens in Oregon will vote on Measure 80 (the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act).

This isn't Trojan horse-style medical marijuana legalization. Each of these measures would permit citizens to possess a defined amount of marijuana, without a doctor's permit.

Polls show strong support for Amendment 64 in Colorado. Opponents, however, worry about motorists driving under the influence of marijuana. Governor John Hickenlooper has argued that legalization would send the message to kids that drugs are OK. Backers of legalization in Oregon said marijuana could increase tourism, much like the wine industry has increased tourism."

From Tomo News Funnies

Hopefully the next step for marijuana legalization in America will be marijuana legalization, but state by state with a federalist approach. Not the Obama Administration trying to legalize marijuana through executive order, not that they would do that anyway. But instead Uncle Sam backing off and allowing for the states and localities, to make their own decisions on marijuana. And no longer arresting people for simply possession or usage of marijuana, if they're 21 or over. Because even though marijuana may be legal in one jurisdiction, it is not legal nationally.

And I'm not being optimistic on this, because I haven't seen any evidence of this happening yet, but hopefully the Obama Administration, will take a wait and see approach and see how marijuana legalization is working in Colorado and Washington State and see how it works there. 

President Obama was overwhelmingly reelected in the Electoral College by Liberal Democrats such as myself, who want to see marijuana legalization nationwide and take a states rights approach. And say: "Look, we aren't going to legalize marijuana nationwide, but if states want to do this, then that's their decision as long as they are taxing and regulating it. And that it will up to the states to regulate this while the Federal Government won't endorse or interfere with it." But they are responsible for the consequences of it as well. 

And let's see five years from now how marijuana legalization is doing in America. Is tax revenue up in the states, is crime less, more, or about the same, does our criminal justice system have fewer offenders, or not, etc. And then go from there.

From The Big Picture RT

There are several problems with the GOP right now and I'm not going to try to make the case that the GOP is dead or something and will be an indefinite opposition party or minority party in the Senate or lose their majority in the House in two years to never retake the majority again. This just in: I'm not a political commentator for Salon, The Nation, or MSNBC.

That is what happened in 2008 when people were predicting the death of the GOP and looked strong again, in large parts to the Democratic party by late 2009, when they picked up a couple of governorships. But it's not so much right now or perhaps even in the next two years that the Republican Party is in danger of becoming an indefinite opposition party as well as minority party in Congress. (Both House and Senate) But within four years if they stay on current course and not able to reach out to their limited base of support right now across the country, they'll continue to lose most of the big states in the union and struggle to even win Senate seats that are in normally safe states for them.

The Republican Party has two major problems and either one of them could put them in position of becoming a minor third party if not addressed, where we would see another party take its place. 

Problem one- they are two small, they rely mostly on Anglo-Saxon, male, Evangelical, older rural voters, while the rest of the county that lives in major metropolitan areas vote Democratic. Roughly 40% of Caucasians, 60% of all women, over 70% of  Latin and Asian Americans and 90% of African Americans who are still about 13% of the population, that Democrats never have to worry about losing.

The other problem for the GOP is that they have an information gap: not enough people who actually know what's going on, politics or otherwise and too many people they rely on to just tell them what they want to here instead, something positive about the Republican cause and so-forth, Fox News being a perfect example of this.

The demographic gap is huge for the GOP, because it's not only so limited, but it's also getting smaller and older. As America is moving to becoming a racially and ethnically minority and majority country. Which means for the GOP to remain competitive in the future, they are going to have to broaden their base. And the information gap is critical as well, because not enough Republicans, especially professional Republicans actually knows what's going on.

So we see like with election last Tuesday where only Fox News is finding polling that suggests that Mitt Romney would either win or can win. Which is why we saw all of those Republicans who were shocked to find that President Obama was reelected Tuesday night because there weren't enough Republicans who had that information themselves.

The GOP doesn't have to die or become an indefinite opposition minority party, which they are in danger of happening to them within the next four years. But to prevent this, they do have to broaden their base and bring in new voters and get better information, people who actually report what's going on, so Republicans can actually respond to what's happening. Rather than what they want to happen that benefits them.

To correct Mr. Dobbs record: the so called fiscal cliff came out of negotiation. With the President, Republican House and Democratic Senate, because those three sides couldn't come up with a long-term agreement on deficit reduction. This agreement had across the board tax hikes and budget cuts that would go into place if the President and Congress couldn't reach an agreement on deficit reduction by January, 2013.

What Republicans including Lou Dobbs likes to do (even though Mr. Dobbs might not be an official Republican) is act as if President Obama wrote and passed the 2011 Budget Control Act on his own and made it law himself.

America didn't elect a liberal agenda as much as I wish they have, but they did say no to extremism. (Especially from the Far-Right) And made it clear they weren't ready for Mitt Romney and a Tea Party Congress to be running the Federal Government, or even the entire U.S. Congress. Which is how Senate Democrats actually added a seat to their majority. 

But before Democrats, Liberals (such as myself) or Progressives should get too excited, Americans aren't ready for Democrats to be running the Federal Government completely either. We are still the senior partner of the Federal Government with the White House and Senate, but Republicans still control the U.S. House. Which means Democrats are going to have to work with House Republicans, as well as at least some Senate Republicans,.

Even though Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will have a smaller hand to deal with, but also a weaker hand politically as not just more Democrats were elected to the Senate, but Democrats who believe in a balanced approach to deficit reduction. Which means Democrats could probably get a new millionaires tax or closing tax loopholes out of the Senate to pay for deficit reduction. Why they would leave all of the middle class tax cuts in place. 

But there's no new mandate to let all of the tax cuts expire to finance what so-called Progressives ( Socialists, really ) call the New Green Deal. Which would be around 1T$ in new Federal programs to work towards job creation. 

If so-called Progressives (Democratic Socialists, in actuality) want this, then they should've voted for the Green Party. A socialist party that believes in this approach when it comes to economics.

From The Red Dragon

Marijuana legalization could be coming to a state near you in 2013, with these proposals passing in November. Which I believe they all have a good shot, as we are becoming younger and more liberal-libertarian as a country. 

You even now have Conservatives in the conservative-libertarian sense, especially in Congress like Senator Rand Paul and his father Representative Ron Paul, Representative Walter Jones, who at the very least are now open to marijuana decriminalization. Because they see the so-called War on Drugs from both a civil liberties, as well as a fiscally conservative point of view, as failures. And are questioning why is America locking up people simply for possessing what are illegal narcotics in America like marijuana. 

Legalizing alcohol in the 1930s wasn't an endorsement of alcohol and saying that alcohol is a good thing for people. Assuming marijuana is fully legalized in America, at least as far as the Federal Government getting out-of-way of it and allowing the states and localities make their own decisions here, won't be an endorsement of marijuana. But a statement saying that the War on Drugs is more costly to society than one drug.

Ann Coulter either living in dreamland (where I would hope she would move indefinitely) or lying out of her ass and has the biggest asshole in the history of the universe (at least for a stick figure) if she believes a damn word she said about Mitt Romney and how he would win Tuesday night.

Actually, if the Republican Party were to somehow manage to outlaw any type of news that is critical even if truthful about Mitt Romney and the broader Republican Party in general and somehow pass a law that prevents Democrats regardless of race (unless they live in rural America from voting at all on Tuesday) then maybe Mitt Romney has one snowballs chance on a hot day in Arizona of winning Tuesday night.

The Republican Party has both a demographic and immigration problem. There's simply not enough English-Protestants in America for Mitt to defeat President Obama by themselves. Which means they need to find voters whose families haven't been living in America since the 1700s, who aren't Protestant and who don't have pale complexions, who perhaps are even women, to vote for a man whose immigration policy is basically deporting twelve-million people in America. When the largest ethnic minority in America are Latinos and represent a large part of the illegal immigration population in America.

Ali-Frazier really was the closest thing to a Super Bowl that boxing has ever had. If you consider where the event was which was at Madison Square Garden in New York and all of the people who saw this event, this was huge for not only the two boxers in this event, but also for boxing itself.
