Special Commentary by Big Dan: "I said this back in 2004: you get to keep ONE of your FOUR monthly unemployment checks when you lose your job. Now, it's worse! I said back then, that ONE check goes for Ronald Reagan's tax on unemployment (Reagan started taxing unemployment) and TWO checks go to COBRA, the continuation of your health benefits after you lose your job. If you got the max which was $500/week unemployment, pay $500 for the Reagan Tax and $1,000 for COBRA...and keep $500 a month to pay your: mortgage, heat, electricity, water, credit card bills, car payments, car insurance, food, gas, and all your bills - $500 a month to pay all that! Keeping your health insurance when you're unemployed is NOW IMPOSSIBLE and keep in mind unemployment is soaring. NOW everyone is listening to me! We have a broken system where you keep 25% of your unemployment unless you drop your health insurance and don't pay Ronald Reagan's unemployment tax!"
Consumers in Illinois who lose their jobs and have no other option but to buy their own health insurance will get socked this year with premium increases of up to 60 percent, according to state records.

The (not) "liberal media" still hasn't retracted the hoax pimp story they shoved down our throats 24x7 for weeks leading to the Defund ACORN Act!!!
ACORN Strikes Back! 'Accountability' Campaign Demands Media Corrections for 'Pimp' Hoax Stories. Group asks '100,000 supporters' for 'Letters to Editor'. Cites BRAD BLOG coverage of NYTimes Editors' outrageous justifications for refusing to retract repeated misreporting...
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! WE GOT SNAGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...we'll have to postpone our GOP political stings against organizations that help the poor register to vote because they don't vote for Republicans. There goes our upcoming sting against the Salvation Army!!!
All these politicians and more, and the (not) "liberal media" need to issue official apologies and retractions and repeal the Defund ACORN Act:
You know how I'm always telling you on this blog about TV, radio, and newspaper propaganda? Sponsored by the government and the wealthy and the military? Remember I said the other day a cigar is the symbol of the wealthy and Rush Limbaugh always is pictured with a cigar? Meet Hal Turner:

Ever since deregulation caused a worldwide economic meltdown in September '08 and everyone became a Keynesian again, it hasn't been easy to be a fanatical follower of the late economist Milton Friedman. So widely discredited is his brand of free-market fundamentalism that his admirers have become increasingly desperate to claim ideological victories, however far fetched.
Naomi Klein: Milton Friedman did not save Chile. To say the late economist deserves credit for the country's building codes shows a lack of knowledge of pre-coup Chile

Dump 178 inches of snow in his driveway, and now he is full of piss and vinegar.
I missed a post yesterday. My father, who is recovering in a nursing home, fell out of bed @ 2am and gashed his head. Because he is on blood thinners, he couldn't stop bleeding and was rushed to the hospital and got 2 units of blood transfusion and staples in the gash in his head. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteOn our local conservative radio talk show, they're saying Toyota was sabotaged. The reasons callers are giving: GM union workers did it, or it's because the Japanese won't renew a U.S. military base there. If they renew it, we'll lay off Toyota.

What do you think the AmericanFreePress, Alex Jones and WhatReallyHappened think of your complaints? They oppose everything you stand for in this post.
ReplyDeleteStill you don't realise. You promote your class enemies.
What are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteZERO on O'Keefe on What Really Happened, I'm sure I won't find anything on Alex Jones.
ReplyDeleteNothing on Alex Jones about O'Keefe (naturally). I've said here many times before, REAL conservative sites (not Republican) still have racism. They won't report on the O'Keefe hoax because his sting was against a black organization. They didn't say anything about the Tea Party's racism nor about the Tea Party's being financed by GOP operatives. You ain't getting any black sympathy on ANY conservative sites, even good ones. Did you ever hear Ron Paul being big "pro black"? No. There's some kind of weird racism streak on the right, even the good real conservative right. I think I've proven that beyond a doubt, in fact, I can keep on proving that infinitely. They're racist. But still they have some good things on their sites.
ReplyDeleteHere's what ALL these sites think: no one's smart enough to notice what they're NOT putting up! Conservative sites, in fact anything on the right, simply will not point out any discrimination against blacks. As if there's no racism in America.

ReplyDeleteBullshit.....Drumbo??
Ok so did Hal present the Amero cause he was connected to the FBI and planting BS in the minds of America or is it because he was connected to the FBI and got ahold of some inside info or is it not an Amero at all but maybe just some fancy wrapped chocolate from Switzerland?
ReplyDeleteNo, that's definitely not Drumbo. That's either Dredd or this guy who was harassing me a few months ago who hates Willis Carto.
ReplyDeleteO'Keefe matters if he can get ACORN defunded. You know, we can keep an eye on the O'Keefes AND the things you are keeping an eye on.
ReplyDeleteHe can't get ACORN defunded. CONGRESS decided to throw them under the bus. THEY DID IT UNCONSTITUTIONALLY, AND SO ACORN PROBABLY IS NOT EVEN GOING TO BE DEFUNDED. They just wanted the political hit, the press, for this. The ONLY thing to worry about with this is that the Supremes will let a bill of attainder stand... and that's not likely... and at any rate the ONLY persons who MIGHT actually have some viable need to concern themselves with this O'Keefe crap are the attorneys who would argue it before them... PROBABLY NOT EVEN THEN because the ISSUE is the unlawful bill of attainder by CONGRESS.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is the outrage upon America. Not some filthy little wise guy.
WHY isn't Brad focussing on the part that is vital? BECAUSE IT WOULD PISS OFF THE DEMOCRATS. Going on about this insignificant piece of trash is good for the Democratic Party... and garners friendly feelings from fascist fucks in high places.
AND, NO, YOU CAN'T KEEP AN EYE ON THIS SHIT AND WORK ON THE VITAL TO ALL HUMANS STUFF! There aren't enough hours in the day for it as it is, and this CRAP is PURE fascist-serving distraction.
