The only one that seems to be focused on the Harriet Tubman $20 bill is you. Trying to stir up crap must be no fun at all when you can't find any takers.

Thats not true. Someone already responded about putting beyonce on bill. Likely even you. So obviously its Thursday and a con is wrong about something else.

On another note, its been several weeks since you weren't responding to me only to respond so many times since. cant help yourself can you?

that makes you my.....guess?

I do and regularly, I just thought we needed a little nuance to your overly simplistic, second grader analysis sop likewise, if you are cowering under your bed and feeling not safe enough but that you wouldn't wet your pants if ewe bought another aircraft carrier, just tell you congressman what you need to sleep at night and spare us all your simple-minded pablum about government's responsibility to keep us safe.

fair is fair, right?

I think the military is doing a fine job, and I am grateful to each and every one of them for their service to our country. I also don't believe they should be second class citizens when it comes to their Health care . Apparently they weren't important enough for Democrats to address that with the ACA. But there are more important issues to take on, like giving Social Security and Medicare to illegals.

Me too.

I just don't see the need to give them necessary toys just to enrich military contractors.

You spoil kids by dropping too much stuff on them uncritically, right?

Military needs civilian grown-ups to take care of the mommy-daddy end.

I don't recall any First Lady ever saying that they couldn't think of a better role model than Denny.

Republicans have different ideas about good role models, yes?

A decade ago, Hastert was hailed as a partisan symbol of superior virtue, notably in John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge’s “The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America,” which gleefully predicted endless victories for the Republicans and doom for the Democrats. Written by a pair of British Tories who then held top positions at The Economist magazine, that work invidiously contrasted then-Speaker Hastert with Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, his counterpart on the other side of the aisle—and described their districts as symbols of red and blue America.

Micklethwait and Wooldridge waxed on lyrically and at great length in praise of Coach Denny and “Hastertland,” while they cast a censorious gaze upon Nancy and “Pelosiville,” also known as San Francisco or in their words, “the capital of gay America.” Their description of Hastert—“a fairly straightforward conservative: antiabortion, anti-gay marriage”—rings with irony today. So does their depiction of Pelosi’s urban constituency as “a peculiar mix of blue bloods and gays, dotcom millionaires and aging hippies,” set against the “resolutely ‘normal’ ” people represented by Hastert, who “think of themselves as typical Americans.”

No but a President offered unqualified support for that child molester. Did you recall THAT?

tee hee

Again I'd be embarrassed if I was as obsessed with Beyonce as you white middle aged male types.

Under ordinary circumstances, there would have been nothing remarkable about President Bush's praise Thursday for House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert at a political fundraiser.
But this is not an ordinary year. Hastert is struggling to cope with the fallout from how his office handled reports that former Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley dispatched inappropriate electronic messages to a former congressional page.
With his big verbal hug for the speaker, Bush left no doubt about his support for the Illinois Republican at the start of the $1.1-million fundraiser. He gave the speaker a handshake and declared at the start of his speech: "I am proud to be standing with the current speaker of the House, who is going to be the future speaker of the House."
His remark prompted applause and cheers.
"He's not one of these Washington politicians who spews a lot of hot air. He just gets the job done," Bush said of Hastert, the longest-serving Republican House speaker.

We cant really talk here about what Hastert was spewing all over his victims here, can we?

He continued effusively: "I have worked with him up close. I know what it is like to work with a speaker who is determined to protect the United States of America. And a speaker who wants to make sure that everybody who wants a job in America can find one. He has delivered results for the people. This country is better off with Denny Hastert as the speaker, and it will be better off when he is the speaker the next legislative session."
In addition to his support for Hastert, the president's remarks signaled his belief that the impact of the scandal should not reach beyond Foley.
Bush has had little to say in public on the matter, other than to express at a news conference Wednesday his strong disapproval of Foley's behavior, which included vivid sexual messages to pages and former pages.
Despite Bush's support, [b]GOP candidates in several close races have canceled Hastert appearances at fundraising events./b]
Bush and other Republicans hope to return the focus of the campaign to national security issues. But the Foley scandal continued to play out Thursday as witnesses testified before the House Ethics Committee.
Among them was a former Foley aide who has said he complained to the speaker's office about Foley's conduct long before the speaker's office acknowledged having received a complaint.

One predator protecting another, Awesome. Republican leadership but look over here! Beyonce!

Democrats, meanwhile, continued to highlight Foley's conduct. In the latest TV ad, which began running Thursday in a Nevada congressional race, Democratic challenger Tessa Hafen accuses Republican incumbent Jon Porter of taking "thousands in contributions from ... leaders who covered up the actions of sexual predator Mark Foley."
Bush's praise for Hastert came at a fundraising reception at the Chicago Hilton Hotel for Peter Roskam and David McSweeney and other Illinois Republican congressional candidates. Roskam is in a difficult race against Tammy Duckworth, a former soldier who lost both legs from injuries in Iraq. McSweeney is seeking to unseat Rep. Melissa Bean.

What a classic false equivalence. Here I am planning to eat dinner tonight while kids are starving in Sudan?? Maybe I could pack up dinner - put it in a box and have UPS deliver it to them in a few days.....

meanwhile ISIS fights our troops with weapons that Bush shipped over in a pointless war.

Nah, actually pretty much nails it. This is exactly how Democrats fool their base. Remember that quote by Malcolm X on deceitful liberals? He was talking about the race issue, but the strategy is pretty much the same for any victims group that Democrats can use to maintain their power.

you never disappoint. looking over your shoulder to 50 years ago. I, as well as others, have expounded on cons inability to do anything but this and you support our points be acting like a cartoon character?

so on one hand we have Michelle saying something nice about an entertainer who does have a wide following world wide. the cons are incensed.

a republican president praisers the morality and judgment of a molester and not a peep.

There ladies and gentlemen you see everything you need to know about the modern Republican party. Crazed people only concerned with their own narrow as a sliver constituency (white and dumb as they HATE college educated whites) vs a party that for all its flaws looks like a cross section of today's America looking back at you in a mirror.

That really is it. everyone chooses the team they are most comfortable with. You have made yourself clear that you believe in preserving the perks and p[references that white, middle aged men have enjoyed ad naseum. so you narrowly care about your demo.

really very easy in the end

Wind yourself up and dance for us little p(ecker).

I thought you might enjoy an opportunity to defend a genocidal racist like Jackson. Sorry. But there are a lot of right wing "thinkers" melting down today over this, so i guess you are wrong on the second count too.

Oh Jackson was corrupt too

Dear ex lax,

How are you reconciling TRump's call that transgenders should be able to use any bathroom they want with your previously expressed support.

Cognitive dissonance yet?

Have you ever spoken with an Iranian citizen? I have. The people are not the government or vice versa. You get a much different perspective. BTW the oft quoted statement that "Israel must not exist" is inaccurate. It was translated by someone with only a rudimentary understanding of Farsi which is a very nuanced language. What they actually said was quite different. The correct translation was that Israel should never have been created. Which in terms of international law is quite correct. Basically Britain created the country by fiat.

I speak farsi and that is not what is being said.

oh see actually I put the new roof on just before the solar went up, so with the guarantees of output for 15 years and my roof for twenty I should be ok.

Thats for all your concern about my roof though, but as you can see us self-sufficient progressives think through the details that stymie a con.

Bwahahahaha!

You'll be lucky if you get 15 years out of that roof, expect more like 12. And guess what? Installing solar panels will almost always kill your roof warranty. Then there is the issue of maintenance (are you going up to clean them regularly?) and whether the fire department will protect your house should you need them. Experts warn firefighters might use less aggressive tactics in buildings with solar panels, especially in instances where the fire poses little risk to human life. And don't forget, unless you bought your system outright, you've now got a lien against you that can affect refinancing or selling your house. BTW, just like pools, not everyone wants to buy a house with a solar system on the roof for exactly the reasons mentioned above.

Obviously you took the solar company's sales pitch hook, line and sinker. I just love it when smug liberals prove just how stupid they are.

I am not the OP you are responding to, so ARE YOU INSANE?

Again, never any specifics.

Thanks to the OP for taking the time for that. I used to do that years ago but no longer have the patience. Appreciate you taking the time to show the cons what clear, simple, logical thinking is. +1

Different poster redponding. The guy was right. He did confirm rather than negate many of the points made.

Bwahahahaha! Another knee slapper from the liberals. The Iranians are just misunderstood. And here we have them celebrating Patriots Day. Unfortunately the Bar-B-Que got a little out of hand.
