Lying Lies and the Liars That Lie Them

http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/cbo-budget-deal-cuts-this-fiscal-years-deficit-by-just-353-million-not-38-billion-touted/2011/04/13/AFFJnkWD_story.html

 

The budget deal that Obama and Harry Reid made with Boehner and the Repubs will cut the deficit by $353 million not $38 billion as both sides claimed in the mainstream media. In other lying news, Obama, British P.M. David Cameron and former Gaddaffi BFF Nikolas Sarkozy all said in a joint co-op to the New York Times that "Gaddaffi must go." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/opinion/15iht-edlibya15.html?_r=4&ref=global 

 

This is part of their "peace keeping mission" in Libya. How will the leaders do this without sending ground troops? The only explanation I can think of is covert CIA operatives. Oh that's right, they're already on the ground. In other news, Obama tells George Stephanopolis that he "doesn't have horns." http://www.mediaite.com/online/president-obama-to-stephanopoulos-i-was-born-in-hawaii-and-i-don%e2%80%99t-have-horns/ Thanks for clearing that up Obeezy. I'll leave ya'll with a little hope from Tupac

Comments on Race, the Public School System, and the Budget Deficit

I don't like how all I hear is praise for charter schools. It's hypocritical of the government that employs an educational system that taught my generation and I how awesome Brown v. Board of Education was because we couldn't have equality until we were all in the same schools. Now that same government is giving tax payers' dollars to fund essentially an all-black school system that must have lower standards/expectations if 83% are doing the same or worse as public school kids. I can see the side of that argument that says this is good for black children who might get caught up in the drug game or in gangs by giving them a better opportunity to graduate. But they're still going to the same home when they get back from school, so the bad influences will be waiting for them. Also you're going to leave the chance for your students/children to have a better life up to a lottery? This just doesn't seem like the right way of going about things and I think people are afraid to bash charter school and the public education system as a whole because they don't want to be called racists. But my generation is gonna be able to get over that when we're in power because for one thing we have a black president, so iwe're more equal than we've been since in American history. The way that I explain how I feel about race relations to black people is, "Hey, your grandpa might not have been able to eat in the same restaurant as my grandpa but it's not like that between you and me. We're on equal ground, you can make just as much of yourself as I can of myself. It's all about mindset. If you believe in yourself then nobody can tell you that you can't do something. And if they try to it will motivate you that much more to accomplish it. Ask Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, or Lebron James." Our media and the baby boomers might not be ready to talk race on a national level but we're going to have to if we want to win the future. That phrase was coined by Obama who I voted for but don't trust and probably won't vote for again. But one of the biggest reasons I believed in his campaign was the inspiration and motivation it put into most of the black people I know. For a few months I was convinced that black people would commit themselves to improving their life and a lot of them have, I am very proud to say. But I'm from a rural farm town in Eastern, N.C. You can tell which people get a welfare check because they're sitting on their porch when you drive by on your way to the next field. This is why I'm interested in the Milton Friedman videos you've been showing us. He foresaw the dangers of taking wealth away from earners and giving it to non-earners under the guise of humanitarianism. Classic liberal folly...reminds me of this BS war in Libya we're now caught up in. But in the future because of budget cuts the government will have to be slashed or the dollar will fail. I thought the failure was inevitable until I saw that Paul Ryan introduced a budget that cuts the deficit $6 trillion over 10 years so they're saying there's a chance we avoid economic armageddon. Welfare programs must be slashed and I think that's a great thing. Firstly, it stops a portion (1/6, 50 million according to http://www.numberof.net/number-of-americans-on-welfare/ ) of the population from living in a state of comfortable poverty. Second, it will lead to a mass exodus of Congresspeople. That's obviously a great thing...until the next group comes in and the lobbyists buy them off. Third, it could lead to the end of the income tax via a Constituional Amendment as Congresspeople fight and claw to hold on to their jobs. I could be way off of the mainstream on all of this because I don't hear any of it on the media box. But a lot of it started adding up when I saw Ryan's budget proposal. It gave me more hope for the future than I've had in a while. But yeah, back to my original point, people need to look at charter schools through a clearer lens. I hope after reading this that you will.

Intervention

Hey Mr. President, it's the 18-24 year old demographic you coveted in the 2008 election. We're wondering what kind of message you’re sending by starting another war, our third active campaign. I understand that you think we should intervene on a “humanitarian” stance. I agree that a ruthless dictator that kills his people is a menace to society. But the message you’re sending (or at least that I’m receiving) is that the only countries where we have vital “interests” in deserve our military’s help to free themselves from tyranny. My dad taught me that if you’re going to do something, do it right. Don’t half ass it. If we’re going to invade one country that is being ruled by tyranny, then it is our role as “world security guards,” or however you spun the phrase, to invade every country whose denizens are being ruled by tyrants. Not just the ones that have oil, natural gas, rare earth minerals or anything else we deem valuable enough to exploit by paying having our upper 2 percent pay that country’s upper 2 percent off. It’s hypocritical if we pick and choose our humanitarian invasions. Speaking of hypocritical, has anyone else seen the complete 180 degree turn MSNBC has taken since the invasion. Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz are openly supporting the invasion in Libya. Shultz’ opinion can be found here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ed-schultz/why-i-support-president-o_b_839800.html . Ever since Keith Olbermann left, MSNBC has seemed to be without an identity. It is now clear that their identity is pro-corporation, pro-Obama, and anti-middle class. It’s no wonder that CNN has reclaimed second place in the cable news wars. On January 6, 2011 the cable primetime news overall ratings were: Fox-2.439Million, MSNBC-1.032M, CNN-467,000. On March 23, 2011 they were: Fox-2.450M, MSNBC-935,000, CNN-940,000. Piers Morgan has done well in Larry King’s old time slot. He’s definitely not soft which I think was the perception of him before he started asking Kid Rock, Donald Trump, and others hard hitting questions. Anderson Cooper has become the definition of an international journalist. It seems the rest of the world loves the guy...when they’re not punching him upside the head. CNN should bring back Sanchez at the 8 o' clock hour. He was a fresh voice and opinion and, oh yea, at least he didn't get fired from his job for having sex with a prostitute (I'm looking at you Eliot Spitzer). Well I’ve gone off the path of where I started this blog post. Kind of like Bush did in Iraq. I hope you know what you’re doing Mr. President, because if not then in 2012 we may need to have an intervention.

What are we doing in Libya?

So I've watched as little cable news as possible since we invaded Libya. It's all lies and cover ups to some degree. The internet is the place to get news. I go to the Huffington Post for my left-leaning news and The Drudge Report for my right wing concepts. Infowars works as the alternate source. Sometimes it'll touch on things the mainstream media avoids, sometime it misses and sounds too crazy. Even for me. We're obviously in Libya for the oil as opposed to "protecting civilians," dropping bombs doesn't protect anyone. The interesting thing behind the propeganda proliferating out of the Obama Administration is that, unlike the Iraq War, it wasn't pre-meditated. Bush tried to sell the country on a war in Iraq from December 2002 until finally lying us into it in March 2003. 8 years to the day before we invade Libya. Funny coincidence but merely a footnote of atrocity in the future's history. Obama didn't spend months convincing us to invade a sovereign nation like Bush because Libyan citizens caused the unrest. Those same citizens will now be considered collateral damage and probably won't even be reported on the mainstream media because the "precision" bombs don't miss their targets. But that's what they told us about Iraq. They also said we wouldn't be sending in ground troops in Shock and Awe. 8 years later we still have ground troops there, but since they aren't conducting missions they don't count and don't get media coverage. And probably don't get proper health benefits. What's the over/under on when ground troops invade Libya? I'll say 1 month. Who wants that bet?
