For those arguing, whining, crying, or wanting to get stupid FROM EITHER DIRECTION....THIS speech DOES demand debate period

I DON'T give a damn what anybody says there are so many debatable things in this if I didn't know that the friggin man sat in the church of the man that caused him, admittedly, to find Christ, and that man also among a million items said GOD DAMN AMERICA, cause he is all on a pure retardation of Christianity among other things...........I would still say WTF from the first statement on.

(BigGovernment.com) Holy Crap - NO WAY. Pew Research Poll shows Dems pick Fox News over NY Times on Fairness

NO WAY. Say it isn't so man.
With all the work the left & progressives & current administration has put in on this and well damn there are a few liberals (well maybe, it said Democrats....not liberals or progressives) with a honest and fair bone in their body.

http://bigjournalism.com/jlott/2010/08/02/whom-do-you-trust-more-fox-news-or-the-new-york-times-democrats-say-fox/

Only someone at the New York Times would claim that their paper was not “anywhere close” to Fox News on bias. What was surprising was the source of this trashing. Clark Hoyt, the just retired ombudsman of the New York Times, supposedly served as the conscience of the paper, mediating questions of whether the paper fairly and unbiasedly covered the news. If anyone at the Times is going to warn the paper that they have gone too far, it is the ombudsman.

Yet, when Mr. Hoyt recently appeared on C-SPAN’s Q&A with Brian Lamb, he held little back.

I watch Fox News from time to time, and I’m always fascinated by its view of the world compared to the view of the world you see in other media outlets that I would not consider partisan. The stories they choose to highlight, the way they are described, and I’m not even getting to [Bill] O’Reilly or some of the unabashedly opinionated parts of Fox News. I do not believe the New York Times is anywhere close to that.

Even worse, Mr. Hoyt attacked Fox News for poising a real danger to society:

There are many, many more voices today. In many respects, I think that’s healthy. But the one thing, the danger for any society, is if you don’t have some sort of core of shared facts and values, I think ultimately, there’s a great danger for the society. And I do worry about that.

So how biased is Fox News compared to the New York Times? Why don’t we ask Democrats whom they trust more for news: Fox News or the New York Times? With all the vitriol directed against Fox News, one would think that it is a no-brainer. But a recent Pew Research Center for the People & the Press poll shows that it is Fox News. While 43 percent of Democrats have a positive view of Fox News, 39 percent of Democrats feel the same way about the New York Times.

Of course among Republicans or Independents it isn’t even a close contest. Seventy-two percent of Republicans have a favorable view of Fox News compared to only 16 percent who have a favorable view of the New York Times. Almost twice as many independents have a favorable view of Fox than the Times.

There are other methods of measuring media bias and the New York Times looks quite biased on covering the economy and gun control.

There are surely other ways of measuring whether Fox News is biased, but it is a bit much for the man the New York Times hired to investigate bias at the Times to use such inflammatory language, claiming that what Fox News does represents “a great danger for the society.”

Mike McMahon D NY-13 my opponent takes JEWISH money

[UPDATE] Via Hot Air: let the damage control begin!  McMahon shoots the messenger, and completely fails to explain why she delivered the message in the first place.  Remember, folks: fish rots from the head down.

Rep. McMahon is claiming that he wanted to make sure that people knew that the 200K that his opponent Mike Grimm raised last quarter - which is, by the way, quite good for a challenger - wasn’t locally raised.  Well, to start off with: there’s usually no particular stigma involved in getting money from out-of-district, although I suppose that NY-13 might be one of those districts where such things are important.  Secondly, and more importantly: you’d think that if McMahon wanted to prove that Grimm was getting mostly out-of-district money he’d pass out a list of Grimm’s out-of-district donors.  Not a list of Grimm’s Jewish donors.

You’d think.

The file, labeled “Grimm Jewish Money Q2,” for the second quarter fundraising period, shows a list of over 80 names, a half-dozen of which in fact do hail from Staten Island, and a handful of others that list Brooklyn as home.

“Where is Grimm’s money coming from,” said Jennifer Nelson, McMahon’s campaign spokeman. “There is a lot of Jewish money, a lot of money from people in Florida and Manhattan, retirees.”

Yes, Jennifer Nelson, thank you for making sure that we all know that the Jews are bankrolling one of your candidate’s Republican opponents.  I don’t know which would distress me more: that you felt the need to take a shower afterward, or that you didn’t.

As a point of comparison, the campaign also provided in-district and out-of-district fundraising totals from McMahon and Grimm’s G.O.P primary opponent, Michael Allegretti. However, they did not provide an out-of-district campaign filing from Grimm, but only a file of Jewish donors to him.

I suppose that we should be grateful that Rep. McMahon didn’t refer to it as ‘dirty Jew money.’

In public, that is.

Moe Lane

PS: McCain/Palin won NY-13, by the way: for that matter, both McCain and Palin have endorsed Grimm (McCain’s always up for supporting another war veteran and Palin has a soft spot for anti-establishment candidates).  McMahon’s a squatter who snuck in during the 2008 shellacking (and the retirement of Fossella); he’s been playing up his opposition to health care, but as you just saw… progressives will out.

BLM document reveals big change in federal land management

August 5th, 2010 @ 6:00pm

By Sarah Dallof

SALT LAKE CITY -- KSL 5 News has obtained a document that outlines a huge change in how the federal government wants to manage federal land in Utah, and one Utah congressman says it makes him furious.

Congressman Rob Bishop's office also recently received the document. Bishop said he's angry because it would put virtually all land management power in the hands of the White House.

"Of the 264 million acres under BLM management, some 130- to 140-million acres are worthy of consideration as treasured lands. These areas [are] roughly equivalent in size to Colorado and Wyoming combined." -BLM's Treasured Lanscapes paper

A portion of the document wasleaked back in February and led to speculation about a federal land grab in Utah. It talked about the creation of a 12 new national monuments

Now, an outside source provided KSL with the entire document, and it does suggest a dramatically new philosophy for managing federal land.

The Bureau of Land Management's document is stamped with "Internal Draft. Not for release." Titled "Treasured Landscapes," it lays out what some consider a sweeping and detailed plan for the next 25 years.

It took Bishop months to get the document, which lays out the context for the snippets released a few months ago.

"They have clearly been dragging their feet, and they don't want to let us know what they're trying to do," Bishop says.

He is especially concerned about portions of the document that recommend using the Antiquities Act "should the legislative process not prove fruitful." The act gives the president power to designate a national monument with no public or legislative input.

The U.S. Department of the Interior released a statement Thursday that reads, in part: "The preliminary internal discussion draft reflects some brainstorming discussions within BLM, but no decisions have been made about which areas, if any, might merit more serious review and consideration." [CLICK HERE to read the entire statement]

"Their brainstorming session was how to do this without engaging Congress, without having to go to Congress for approval," Bishop said.

There are those who support what is a radical new departure in land management -- the idea of protecting whole ecosystems instead of just individual parcels.

Kirk Robinson, executive director of the Western Wildlife Conservancy, says the vision within the pages is urgently needed.

"I'd like to see some real planning developed out of it," Robinson said. "It obviously is a brainstorming kind of thing thing, but you have to do that before you take intelligent action."

Foreign energy firms getting windfall of U.S. stimulus funds

Money is used to buy turbines made abroad

BY BROOKE WILLIAMS WATCHDOG INSTITUTE

China’s A-Power Energy Generation Systems lists a vacant office in downtown San Diego as its U.S. address. Brooke Williams

Online: Local wind-energy leaders explain why U.S. firms are falling behind in getting stimulus dollars on10News.com. And for the workshop’s full investigation into wind-power funding, go toinvestigativereportingworkshop.org.

Of the more than $2 billion the federal government has given out to boost the economy and create green-energy jobs, more than three-quarters has gone to foreign-owned companies that dominate the global wind-power industry. This latest finding by the Investigative Reporting Workshop, a nonprofit atAmerican University in Washington, D.C., is illustrated clearly in San Diego County, where about a dozen commercial wind developers have offices.

La Jolla is the headquarters for Eurus Energy America, the subsidiary of a Japanese firm that received $91 million in federal stimulus money for a wind farm in western Texas. It plans to apply for more money to fund a wind project inOregon.

EnXco, a French-owned firm with American headquarters in Escondido, has received $69.5 million in stimulus money for its wind farm in Indiana. It installed 53 German-made turbines at the site. EnXco also is operating the Texas wind farm for Eurus.

A-Power Energy Generation Systems, a Chinese-owned company that might get federal grants through a consortium building a wind farm in western Texas, lists a vacant office in downtown San Diego as its U.S. address on recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cannon Power Group of San Diego has received $19 million to expand a wind farm east of Portland in Washington. The company spent about half of that money overseas to pay for wind turbines it said it couldn’t get stateside.

The Reporting Workshop’s initial analysis of wind-energy grants was released in October and outraged some lawmakers. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., cited the group’s report — and news that $450 million in stimulus money might go to a group installing Chinese-made wind turbines in Texas — when he asked the secretary of energy to deny federal financing to firms that use foreign-made turbines.

American wind companies are receiving stimulus grants, but some such as Cannon Power spend much of that money abroad because few U.S. companies manufacture turbines.

Mark Anderson, chief executive officer of Eurus Energy America, a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Eurus Energy Holdings Corp., said his company would not have been able to move forward with other projects without the guarantee of stimulus money.

Eurus received $91 million in grants for the Bull Creek Wind Farm in Texas. It has the capacity to power about 48,000 homes a year.

Eurus is building a wind farm in Oregon. The company plans to seek green grants for that project, Anderson said.

“We plan to put more and more money into the United States,” he said.

Eurus employs 20 people in San Diego, Anderson said, and has assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Its Texas project created between 300 and 400 jobs for construction, including 10 for operation, and is benefiting the local economy through property taxes and land leases, Anderson said. For the project, Eurus bought Mitsubishi turbines, which are manufactured abroad.

EnXco, the French-owned firm based in Escondido, also went abroad to buy turbines, from German manufacturer REpower. A spokesman for enXco said the project created more than 200 construction jobs as well as a dozen permanent jobs. It has the capacity to power about 29,000 homes per year.

A-Power, based in northeast China, is part of a group building a wind farm in western Texas using turbines it is manufacturing in China. This is the project that affronted Schumer after the group announced plans to collect $450 million in stimulus grants.

In a letter, Schumer asked Energy Secretary Steven Chu to reject requests for stimulus grants from companies that buy key components abroad.

“In all due respect, I remind the secretary there is a four-letter word associated with the stimulus — J-O-B-S,” Schumer told ABC News. “Very few jobs here, lots of jobs in China. That is not what I intended or any other legislator who voted for the stimulus intended.”

Chu responded on Facebook: “But manufacturers will not build plants here and grow their production capacity here unless there is domestic demand; and, until recently, that was not the case.”

In SEC filings this year, A-Power Energy Generation Systems lists a suite in a high-rise in downtown San Diego as its business and mailing address. However, the suite door is locked, and a building manager said A-Power is not a tenant.

When reached on his cell phone, Chief Operating Officer John Lin said he did not have time to answer questions.

Gary Hardke, president of Cannon Power Group, a renewable-energy company near Torrey Pines, said his company had no choice but to go abroad to buy parts for its wind farm in Klickitat, Wash. Two main U.S. manufacturers, GE Energy and Clipper Windpower, either did not make a turbine the size that Cannon wanted or were sold out.

Cannon bought the turbines — made up mostly of blades, towers and nacelles (the part in the middle that houses components such as the rotor and generator) — from Siemens, a German company that also was the main contractor.

In all, Hardke estimated, more than 50 percent of the stimulus grant went to Siemens.

“I appreciate that cosmetically it doesn’t look good, but the reality is … the grants (must) go into the project costs,” he said.

Cannon is expecting $151 million more in stimulus grants to expand the wind farm and hopes all the parts will come from the United States.

Hardke pointed to ways the stimulus cash will do what lawmakers intended — boost the local economy. Cannon pays about $3 million a year to lease land from about 40 individual owners as well as $2 million in property taxes.

The project is in a county where nearly 20 percent of residents earn less than the poverty level, according to a 2009 U.S. Census release. It created more than 300 construction jobs, Hardke said, and 20 to 30 to operate the farm.

“There isn’t a family in Klickitat that doesn’t know someone employed by the project,” he said.

“The ongoing economic development benefit in rural America is really significant.

The icing on the cake, he said, is “clean energy — really significantly helping the environment.”

Obama: The audacity of jihad US ship named after Obamas book set to break Israels self-defense blockade of Gaza

Just a quick comment as I think this pretty much says all that needs to be said. I often wonder when anyone wants to argue that this man isn't an extremist and that there is no doubt his vision and his desire for America is nothing in any way similar to the majority of "WE THE PEOPLE". You know all those that understand its not a damn democracy its a damn republic etc. Anyway one last question. Nobody seems to really think about this like they should. His other book is entitled Dreams from my Father----> RIDDLE ME THIS. What were the dreams of his father? Its an inarguable fact his father basically abandoned his son specifically because of his dreams which were to turn his homeland of Kenya (I believe) to a communist utopia!! SEE All the information we need is sitting right out there folks.

Ezra Klein of the Washington Post Urges Democrat’s Engage in “Power Grab” | RedState

Well now. This is an interesting little blog post from redstate that actually gets updated 2 different times during the story by the POS E.Klein from the post as he puts more than his damn 2 cents worth in where it pertains to the bloggers view on Ezra Klein hypocrite 2005 vs Ezra Klein POS hypocrite 2010. MUST READ.
GOD I FRIGGINNNNNG LOATH LIBERALS & PROGRESSIVES

Ezra Klein of the Washington Post Urges Democrat’s Engage in “Power Grab” | RedState

Yesterday, in the Washington Post, Ezra Klein argued for Democrat Senators to use their power to abolish the filibuster. Ironically, Ezra Klein in 2005 argued that the same tactic when used by Republicans was a “power grab” and an abuse of power. Place Klein’s Washington Post column of 2010 next to the Klein column of 2005 and one might conclude that Klein is a partisan hack. The left wants to abolish a Senate rule that protects the right of individual Senators to force extended debate — the filibuster. Lefties like Klein are still mad that they could not force feed a public option to an unwilling American public.

Klein isn’t alone. The drumbeat from the left against the filibuster is a coordinated effort and has most likely been the subject of action items circulated on Klein’s Journolist. The left believes that if they can change the Senate’s rules before the next election, they can jam through other elements of the progressive agenda to expand government and circumvent the consent of the governed.


Ezra Klein’s piece for the Washington Post is titled, “How to end the filibuster with 51 votes.” The piece explains to liberals how Senators can get around the explicit rules of the Senate and terminate the filibuster. The piece is in direct opposition to Klein’s view of 2005 where he argued in The American Prospect that this same tactic was wrong.

In 2005 Senate Republicans were ready to pull the trigger for a tactic that was termed the “Nuclear Option” and the “Constitutional Option.” The debate was over a handful of Bush Administration nominees to the Courts and Democrats were blocking these nominations. The so called “Constitutional Option” was a trick thought up by a Republican leadership staffer in an effort to force through these nominees. This is a tactic that rids the Senate of an explicit rule with a simple majority.

The rules that allow Senators to end debate is in Rule XXII of the Senate’s rules. These rules are adopted by a 2/3rds vote and can only be changed by a 2/3rds vote. The Senate official web site describes the Cloture Rule as follows:

The cloture rule–Rule 22–is the only formal procedure that Senate rules provide for breaking a filibuster. A filibuster is an attempt to block or delay Senate action on a bill or other matter. Under cloture, the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours of debate

What happens is that the Majority Leader collects 16 signatures on a cloture petition starting the process of shutting down debate. 2 days after the petition is submitted to the Senate, a vote occurs on the ending of debate on a matter. If 60 Senators agree to shut down debate, then 30 hours of debate ensue then a vote on the underlying bill or nomination is supposed to occur. The rule is explicit and detailed.

In 2005, a bipartisan team of 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans, the Gang of 14, cut a deal that averted the abolition of this Senate rule. What Republicans were planning on doing was to have a Republican in the Chair of the Senate who would declare that the filibuster is unconstitutional. Democrats would have appealed the ruling of the Chair and that ruling could be sustained by a majority of Senators. The Republicans also had another argument that the filibuster was unconstitutional for judges.

Klein said of that deal in 2005, “it seems like we got what we wanted — the preservation of the filibuster for the Supreme Court nominee.” Klein was for the filibuster before he was against it - for purely partisan reasons. Klein bragged that ”we can still hang this power grab on the Republicans’ neck come 2006. As part of a wider argument about their abuses of power, it’ll make perfect sense, and the fact that seven Republicans signed on to stop it will only strengthen our case.” You would think that Klein would remember that he called this tactic a “power grab” and evidence of Republicans long list of “abuses of power.”

In the Klein 2010 piece he explained that a Senator needs 67 votes to change the rules of the Senate and 60 to overcome a filibuster. It is virtually impossible to change the Senate’s rules to abolish the filibuster when the Democrats only have 59 Senators in the caucus. Klein then argues for “Constitutional Option.” This misnamed trick allows the Senate to set a 51 vote precedent that abolishes the filibuster with a mere majority. Klein 2010 wrote:

But in practice, there’s another path open to the Senate’s growing ranks of reformers: The so-called “constitutional option,” which is being pushed particularly hard by Sen. Tom Udall, but is increasingly being seen as a viable path forward by his colleagues.

The reason why desperate liberals want to abolish the filibuster ASAP, is because they are about lose seats in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, if he is even around next year, will have much more power if he rids the Senate of the filibuster rule as a means to deal with legislation coming over from the House. Also, this empowers Reid to pass nominees and Treaties in the face of Republican opposition. All the Democrats would need would be a simple majority to get a Supreme Court nominee on the High Court, if another opening occurs, with this tactic. This is nothing more than a power grab by Democrats in the Senate.

Klein 2010 explains the procedural trick this way:

The constitutional option gets its name from Article I, Section V of the Constitution, which states that “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.” In order to fulfill this constitutional order, the Senate must be able to, well, determine its rules. A filibuster, technically, is a way to stop the Senate from determining something by refusing to allow it to move to a vote. Because stopping the Senate from considering its own rules would be unconstitutional, the chair can rule against the filibuster, and the Senate could then move to change its rules on a majority vote.

This rule was explained by Marty Gold, former Floor Advisor to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), in an Law Review article. Gold points to Rule 5 of the Senate that declares the rules are perpetual. He then points to Senator Robert Byrd who years ago argued that Article 1, Section V of the Constitution supersedes Rule 5. Under this reasoning, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in January could attempt to adopt one of the many reforms of the filibuster rule in a new Congress, by claiming that a new Senate has not adopted the old Senate’s rules. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would object.

Reid would merely set a precedent that Klein 2010 further argues:

One caveat: Many people, including Udall himself, believe this has to happen at the beginning of a new Congress. If it doesn’t happen at the beginning of a new Congress, then Congress is considered to have acquiesced to the previous Congress’s rules, and a filibuster against further rule changes wouldn’t interrupt the constitutional right to determine the rules.

The bottom line is that Ezra Klein knows in his heart that this tactic by Democrats is a “power grab.” We have strong evidence from Klein’s Journolist that the left is willing to coordinate a message for the purposes to forwarding the Obama Agenda in an unethical manner. One would hope that anybody who thinks Klein really believes in the “Constitutional Option” would read his writings from 2005 where the same Ezra Klein wrote some strong words against it.

UPDATE: 12:15 - After quite a few E-Mails between Ezra Klein and myself, I have agreed to post the below response to my blog post:

Well, I grant the disagreement, though I’m more just explaining my position to you. If we’re setting aside the question of how I got to my views, then my basic view is that it’s good for governing majorities to be accountable. If voters want to elect Republicans this year and then elect more of them, and kick out Obama, in 2012, then it shouldn’t be nearly impossible for them to repeal health-care reform. Or to use another example that liberals often worry about, if Republicans after winning the 2004 election, had been able to get majorities for Social Security reform, it should’ve been possible for them to do.

Right now, we have a system where the minority has both the ability and the incentive to see the majority fail. I don’t think that’s healthy. If nothing else, it leads to voters assessing records that are determined as much by the obstruction of the minority party — which most people pay no attention to — as by the majority party’s actual legislative program. I’d prefer, instead, that majorities could legislate, and then voters could clearly judge the job they’ve done, and if they don’t like it, elect some folks who would be able to reverse the damage. I’d prefer, in other words, the pitfalls of a majoritarian system to the pitfalls of a super-majoritarian system.

As for the damage done to the institution, the first place I’d look is the offloading of accountability onto independent or at least non-legislative actors like the Federal Reserve, the Independent Payment Advisory Board, the EPA, the Courts, etc. The beginning of my Newsweek piece, which I sent you, makes this argument in some detail.

I believe that it is good that we don’t live in a parliamentary system where on party rules the government with minimal dissent. Allowing rights for the minority party in the Senate is good for Democracy. It is also consistent with the idea of separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches government. If the filibuster is abolished, you would have the following consequences:

Less Transparency - There will be less time for the American people to participate in the process;
More power for Elites - Leadership will have the power to load up appropriations and legislative items with other unrelated matters that may not have majority support; and,
More Partisanship - I know this seems impossible, but if one party is removed of even the power to extend debate, then that party will have no power to participate in the process.
Efficiency in government is not necessarily a good thing for democracy. For a longer discussion of this issue, check out my comprehensive defense of the filibuster.

UPDATE: 2:00 - Evidently Klein is a big fan of Red State, because he had one more E-Mail for me to post. I see that some Red Staters are mad that I am giving Klein a forum for his defense when the same courtesy is not extended to conservatives. We are better than many on the left who fear opponents views.

Many on the left, enabled by Klein, have spread hate and coordinated misinformation in an effort to disparage the conservative movement on the Journolist. Klein would state that he explicitly ruled out message coordination on his list, yet the fact remains that the list was used for that purpose by others. Members of the Journolist, have wished harm to Rush Limbaugh and urged left wing media elites to label all conservative opponents of President Obama “racists.” This conservative does not fear giving the left an opportunity to respond, even though many of Klein’s allies would not extend the same courtesy to us. Remind yourself of the treatment our own Erick Erickson received after he was given a forum on CNN by the lefties at Media Matters. To his credit, Klein did engage in a give and take with me via E-Mail and the same can not be said of many others on the left.

Here is Klein’s latest defense:

I think what you chose to post is very odd: My disagreement wasn’t with whether I disapprove of the filibuster, but whether I was reversing myself by endorsing the constitutional option. I didn’t endorse the constitutional option. And to go to the direct claim, I also called Democratic efforts to reform the filibuster mid-Congress “a power grab.”

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2009/11/let_congress_be_congress_again.html

That’s what I’d like you to update on. I’m not annoyed to be shown as an opponent of the filibuster. Rather, I think you’re vastly overstating the hypocrisy of my views between 2005 and 2010.

Klein states that “I didn’t endorse the constitutional option.” My implication, we can assume that he will be consistent and denounce Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid or Dick Durbin if they chose to pull the trigger in the next Congress. Also we can expect consistency from Klein in denouncing any effort in the Lame Duck by Leadership to engage in an end of Congress “power grab” as wrong. We now have a clear statement, I think, from Ezra Klein that he opposes the so called “Constitutional Option,” in this Congress or the next. Please bookmark this page and be ready to call him out if he flip-flops.

Klein also states, “I think you’re vastly overstating the hypocrisy of my views between 2005 and 2010.” Am I to understand this as an admission of some hypocrisy? I would say yes. I E-Mailed Klein with the question “can we write a joint Op Ed trashing Reid or Durbin if the Maj Leader uses the Constitutional Option in January?” His response was telling - listen here.
