9/12 looks like it was great fun. More of it.

9/13/2009 4:05:06 PM

I want to know what these people are going to do when Obama actually does something.

I mean, it took an unprovoked war based on lies to really bring out the crazy on the left. What has Obama done so far? Cash for clunkers?

The problem with these people is they are afraid of imaginary things, just like they are trained to do as god-fearing christians. It isn't as much about wanting things currently to be different as it is about irrational fears of what could be. That's why they seem to have no coherent message.

I mean, yeah, some of these people are retarded. There are legitimate concerns one could have about what Obama (and congress) is doing. The trillions of dollars being spent is not going to cure the economy, it's going to make it much, much worse. Devaluation of the currency is already happening, and most of these spending measures haven't even begun to take effect yet. Obama's entire plan has been based off of the deluded Keynesian thinking that, at some unknown point, the trillions of dollars being "pumped" into the economy will have a long-term positive effect.

Of course, the political establishment doesn't speak in these terms. You won't hear many congressmen talking about inflation, and certainly not hyperinflation. Most republicans don't know why they're opposed to the spending, they just are. They were fine with ridiculous spending when it was for "protecting our freedoms." We're broke, and once the rest of the world stops financing our debt, we're going to be absolutely fucked.

Not really.

Here's the latest CPI report:

Quote :

" CONSUMER PRICE INDEX: JULY 2009 CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased 0.2 percent in July before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Over the last 12 months the index has fallen 2.1 percent, as a 28.1 percent decline in the energy index since its July 2008 peak has more than offset increases of 0.9 percent in the food index and 1.5 percent in the index for all items less food and energy. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U was unchanged in July following a 0.7 percent increase in June. Small declines in the food and energy indexes offset a small increase in the index for all items less food and energy. The food index declined 0.3 percent in July with all six major grocery store food groups posting declines. The energy index, which rose 7.4 percent in June, fell 0.4 percent in July. Decreases in the indexes for gasoline, fuel oil, and electricity more than offset an increase in the index for natural gas."

All while the discount rate is 0%.

Inflation is not nearly as great a threat as the recession.

That is partly because the banks are still sitting on the reserves of cash that were created last year.

the thing that pisses me off the most as a republican is the lack of ideas from the right. all these retards hold up their big signs but dont provide any suggestions to fixing america's problems.

OMG socialism. OMG hitler is our president. we must take our country back. we can do that by voting out all democrats in 2010!!!

this image is soooo unabashedly racist, it's actually beyond offensive, and just funny to me.

and i love how there is not a grain of truth to it. it plays off the misinformation of death panels and illegal immigrant healthcare. i'm sure she is an ardent palin supporter and probably a joe wilson constituent.



man o man, this is just hilarious to me. THIS is what makes this dumb bitch protest.

a war started on false evidence...fine
wire-tapping in the name of national security...whatever
water-boarding...meh
greed and corruption on wall street...can take it or leave it
financial collapse...hey, it happens



give a mexican a tetanus shot.....WHOA WHOA WHOA...you wait just a goddamned minute now! I ain't lettin' my monies go to no wetback. I'll protest this. also, it gives me an excuse to wear that free sombrero i got during margarita happy hour at chilis on cinco de mayo.

So, if a Repub makes a sign like "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy" (which is, of course, offensive and disgusting to any reasonable human being) the real truth is that someone really photoshopped all those images?

Right.

(I'm not saying it DOESN'T happen, there are enough blanks out there, it's just far too easy of a dismissal).

GET A BRAIN MORANS

i know you want to believe that this was strictly a protest in favor of the free market, but just like how left protests turn out being about gay rights/palestine/war/whatever, this one was as much just an amalgm of right wing causes ranging from "SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE OBONGO" to "HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE" to "COMMIE CZARS" (don't turn around, oh uh oh).

Also, if you search tea party protests on flickr, you see a lot of the same sings over and over, so i don't know about your ps claims.

What the hell does 9/12 have to do with the free market? Is this some kind of obscure accounting term?

9/14/2009 9:52:08 AM

I think you probably have also seen many offensive and stupid signs waving about at liberal rallies.


I think it was more offensive watching David Axelrod on TV dismissing the protesters as being out of touch. I wonder what he would have said if that had been a pro-Obama crowd filling the Capitol mall this weekend.

I don't think outright racism is the primary motivator. I think it's the same stuff the right has been protesting against for decades, but now we an internet-savvy right; it's fanning the fire and creating more turnout and hyperbole than there would've been without the internet. The same goes for the left, but I'm more inclined to give credit to left-protesters as their causes more often appear altruistic.

However, I'm sure a significant portion of these 9-12 protesters believe Obama's policies will cater to blacks. After all, evangelical christian voters are used to politicians who don't reach across the isle, who don't look for common ground and who only appeal to their base. Because of their negative perception of blacks, I think this portion of protesters associates black policies with welfare, reparations, corruption, drugs and petty crime. Therefore, I think it's reasonable to say racism is a significant motivator in these protests.

It's referring to the day after 9/11/2001 when the country was unified in a sense.

9/14/2009 11:24:24 AM

And these protests have been nothing if not unifying.

9/14/2009 11:42:14 AM

at least it has given the country another reason to laugh at Republicans

CPI is not a good measure of inflation. Inflation isn't just an increase in prices, it's the expansion of the money supply. Do you deny that we're printing a lot of money? Is that money backed by anything? If not, what do you think is going to happen to the value of the dollar?

Agreed.

Quote :

Wasn't there a huge list of economists that didn't want the stimulus? I mean, there are plenty of economists out there that voiced opposition to the stimulus. I have a feeling that, in the context of your statement, "renowned" is defined as "anyone that supported the stimulus."

If the root problem was excessive consumer and government debt, and it was, then the problem won't be solved by more debt. It may be true that the stimulus temporarily "saved" us from full fledged depression. The unfortunate reality is that a depression is going to take place either way. A depression is what was (and is) necessary to recovery. America spent money it didn't have for too long. The only solution is to cut back drastically, save money, and default on loans that can't be paid back.
