HALF TRUTHS, LIES, ect. Believed by non thinkers VS FACTS…

editor — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:24:34 +0000

My comments from reliable sources and history to an article written by an opinionated person sent to me by a friend.
 
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America ’s future. (No, it would be FDR in the last 100 yrs.)  Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents (No,it’s about average), history will see Barack Obama as the source of America ’s resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined (NO, WW I, THE GREAT DEPRESSION, WW II, VIETNAM, ETC., WERE MUCH WORSE AND WERE NOT IMAGINED); his efforts to nationalize health care (ALREADY HELPING THOSE WHO REALLY NEEDED IT) have been met with fierce (BY A FEW) resistance nationwide.
 
TARP bailouts and stimulus spending (TARP APPROVED AND STIMULUS SUPPORTED BY BUSH) have shown little positive effect on the national economy (NO, IT HAS CUT THE HORROR OF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BY THE DO NOTHING OPPOSITION IN HALF); unemployment is unacceptably high ( and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels (TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT ONES WHO WOULD HAVE SUFFERED MUCH MORE), and there is a seething anger (BY A FEW) in the populace.
That’s why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.  (AN ACCURATE HISTORY WILL TELL).
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Surely there was waste. More accountability and regulation is needed by all (including our serves, schools, churches, businesses, corporations, governments, THE PENTAGON AND MILITARY COMPLEX, THE ENVIRONMENT, etc.).
 
BUT, THANK GOD SO FAR IN AMERICA, THE MAJORITY REACHES OUT (sometimes slowly, wastefully, feebly, etc) TO ALL PEOPLE TO HELP THEM HAVE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

GOP FACING DIVIDE ON IMMIGRATION….

editor — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:16:00 +0000

‘July 7, 2010

Some prominent conservatives are speaking out in favor of the kind of comprehensive immigration bill that many Republicans oppose — one that would include border security and then a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

As a leading evangelical conservative,

Richard Land’s credentials are impeccable. He heads the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, and from that influential perch he’s been urging his fellow conservatives to rethink their opposition to the immigration overhaul.

“I’ve had some of them appeal to me. They say, ‘Richard, you’re going to divide the conservative coalition.’ And I said, ‘Well, I may divide the old conservative coalition, but I’m not going to divide the new one.’ ”

Land adds, “If the new conservative coalition is going to be a governing coalition, it’s going to have to have a significant number of Hispanics in it, that’s dictated by demographics, and you don’t get large numbers of Hispanics to support you when you’re engaged in anti-Hispanic immigration rhetoric.”

Last week, when President Obama gave his speech on immigration, Land was in the audience. In fact, he had urged the president to make the speech. Obama called on both parties to rise above petty politics to fix the country’s broken immigration system.

Land says that will be very hard because, for both parties, there’s a short-term political advantage to doing nothing.’

Taxes at Lowest Level in 60 Years

editor — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 23:22:40 +0000

I’m sure the teabaggers in DC today will be thanking Obama and the Democratic Congress for overcoming GOP obstructionism and lowering taxes to their lowest level in 60 years?

“The American people need to be reminded that 98 percent of Americans got a tax cut last year,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday.

Reid was referring to the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the stimulus — essentially, the only Obama policy to really impact people’s 2009 tax returns. In fact, tax refunds reached an all-time high this year in part because of the stimulus, the president said in his weekly address on Saturday. Meanwhile, taxes are at their lowest levels in 60 years, according to William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center and director of the Retirement Security Project at the Brookings Institution.

“The relation between what is said in the tax debate and what is true about tax policy is often quite tenuous,” Gale told Hotsheet. “The rise of the Tea Party at at time when taxes are literally at their lowest in decades is really hard to understand.”

RADICAL ATTACKS ON OBAMA MORE HEATED..

editor — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:30:05 +0000

With the selection of Barack Obama as the first black Democratic nominee for president seeming more possible by the day, racists and white supremacists are posting increasingly ugly and even threatening remarks on the Internet.

[1] “OBAMA WILL DIE, KKK FOREVER,” concludes a [2] Feb. 15 post by “Rodney” to a blog run by a person identified only as Strider333. Above that signoff, Rodney wrote: “The KKK or someone WILL assassinate Obama! If we get a NIGGER President all you NIGGER’s [sic] will think you’ve won and that the WHITE people will have to bow to you……….”

CHECKING FOR RELIABLE SOURCES; NOT OPINION…

editor — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:48:28 +0000

Truthorfiction.com, snopes.com, and factcheck.org are websites you can use to try to verify something. They are not infallible but try to get at the source of whether it is true or not.  Sometimes they give their own opinions which may or may not be true.
 
I sent you the website because there are some answers that we all are looking for.  OBAMA ONLY GAVE A BROAD OUT LINE, BUT IT IS THE CONGRESS WHO IS WRITING THE BILL.  It has input from democrats, republicans, and independents.
 
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE BILL WILL NOT BE FINAL UNTIL IT GOES THROUGH BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS, IS DEBATED ON, AMENDED AND AGREED TO BY BOTH HOUSES.
 
Remember, our congresspeople are our employees.  I hope we all will call or email them and 
 
LET THEM SPECIFICALLY KNOW WHAT WE LIKE AND DON’T LIKE ABOUT THAT PART OF THE BILL.  IF WE DON’T THEN IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE WE GET ANY HEALTH-CARE REFORM. WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTH-CARE THE 50 MILLION AND GROWING UNINSURED WILL CONTINUE GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOMS WHICH RAISES ALL OUR PREMIUMS WHICH WILL COST US MORE THAT PROVIDING HEALTH-CARE FOR EVERYONE, RIGHT?

GOP DENYS APPROVAL OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE TO RECEIVE MILLIONS FROM FOR PROFIT INSURANCE COS.

editor — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 23:00:23 +0000

LORD, HELP THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE LIES OF THOSE (mainly politicians) WHO ARE PAID MILLIONS TO SAY THAT WE DON’T NEED A NON-PROFIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT COVERS EVERYONE, TO SUPPORT A 30% PROFIT SYSTEM THAT CAN RAISE OUR PREMIUMS AND NOT ALLOW THE COVERAGE WE NEED.

HELP THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS BETTER TO HAVE SOME KIND OF HEALTHCARE THAN BEING DENIED ANY.

If race were the only issue, there would be much less hyperventilation about Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.‘s unpleasant run-in with the criminal justice system. After all, it would hardly be the first time a black man had unjustly been hauled to jail by a white police officer. The debate—really more of a shouting match—is also about power and entitlement.

This is a new twist. Since the triumph of the civil rights movement, minorities have been moving up the ladder in politics, business, academia, just about every field. Only in the past decade, however, has a sizable cohort of African-Americans and Latinos broken through to the tiny upper echelons where real power is exercised.

I’m talking about President Obama, obviously, but also Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons, entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and many others—a growing number of minorities with the kind of serious power that used to be reserved for whites only. In academia, the list begins with “Skip” Gates.

He’s a superstar, one of the best-known and most highly acclaimed faculty members at the nation’s most prestigious university. A few years ago, when he made noises about leaving, Harvard moved heaven and earth to keep him. The incident that led to his arrest occurred as he was coming home from the airport after a trip to China for his latest PBS documentary. Following the traumatic encounter, he repaired to Martha’s Vineyard to recuperate. This is how the man rolls.

NOW OR NEVER?

editor — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:49:51 +0000

We are in an emergency situation where 47 mil. American families including children are without health care, 10s of millions more are being denied and canceled because of their health, and increasing numbers (500,000 losing their jobs a month without health care) are in dire situations because of no health care. Many 1000s a month are dying because of lack of health care.

What would Jesus do? In depression times crime, suicides and death rates increase. We have been waiting on health care change since 1994 because white male anglosaxon conservatives opposed an intelligent lady who was trying to bring about health care reform.

The American Ship is sinking because we are not looking out for those who have no hope (AS JESUS TAUGHT US). We must respond no matter what the cost for now so we can save as many as possible while we reform the system. OUR GREATEST OPPOSITION ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE TAKING MILLIONS FROM LOBBYISTS TO PROTECT THEIR 30% PROFITS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES (Medicare’s overhead is 3%).

WE HAVE SPENT ALL THESE BILLIONS TO FIGHT A COUNTRY WHO WAS NOT A THREAT TO US (in the former administration we lost over 3,000 lives because the former administration was not at the switch and 10s of thousands of lives because our former president claimed he was ordained by God and was going after the man who tried to assassinate his father).

I COULD GO ON BUT THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT TO PROVIDE A BETTER HEALTH PLAN BEFORE WE REFORM IS VERY SUSPICIOUS OF THOSE POLITICIANS WHO STATE THAT. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IF I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER, FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR (”DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU”) COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, LOSS OF REPUTATION, POSSESSIONS, ETC., I AM GOING TO DO WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ME TO DO.

U.S. Military Strongly Opposed Bush Admin. Torture Techniques

by WeBetterWinThisTime

Thu Apr 23, 2009 at 07:22:30 AM PDT

In the wake of the Obama Administrations release of the Bush Torture Memos , it appears as though everyone is coming forward now wanting to let the American people know that their department or government establishment was not in support the sick f****ers who committed these horrific crimes in the name of our great nation. We saw the F.B.I. make clear they were opposed from the get go and now the United States Military is coming out and disclosing that their objections to the Bush Administrations illegal torture techniques , went unheard by the rogue administration.

ON WHAT DO WE BASE OUR DECISIONS?

editor — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:35:29 +0000

ON TRUTH?: the body of real things, events, and facts

ON FACTS?: something that has actual existence fact> b: an actual occurrence fact of damage>

ON OPINIONS?: belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge b: a generally held view

ON FEELINGS?: often unreasoned opinion or belief

ON HEAR-SAY?: a rumor: a statement or report current without known authority for its truth (not accepted in court)

ON HALF-TRUTHS: a statement that mingles truth and falsehood with deliberate intent to deceive

(definitions from: http://www.merriam-webster.com/ )

——————————————-

ON WHICH ARE THE FOLLOWING BASED (from some items posted)?

“Lets face it……The Republican Party is one where the very rich lead the very ignorant…..There are some exceptions as we saw at the Democratic Convention…..Republicans who had lost their jobs, their health insurance, their homes, etc……and when Jesus didn’t step forward and come to the rescue, they turned to the Democratic Party.

The Republican Party now offers America as its Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates a 72 year old man with serious health considerations and a born again, rifle shooting, moose gutting, abstinence teaching, anti choice, oil drilling woman who, as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska tried to ban books from the local library…..books that she considered morally or socially objectionable to her. This is truly a dangerous woman to have one heart beat away from the Presidency.”
