Drive By-Blogging and Bloggers

S. Lindsey's picture

You ever noticed that recently few of the “Progressive” brand of Liberalism bloggers actually stay around long enough for a “debate” about their “points”.
They jump in on any subject they totally disagree with lay their spoor all over any and all comments made.. then traipse on never coming back to argue their often times silly and innocuous point they made.
Why is that? (Andy Rooney) moment there…
This is not unique to this Blogging community. It is happening over several of the Political blogospheres.
Many here are not posting anymore.. Why? Is it because as I have heard it said, the atmosphere has become too heated?
Or is it something else..? For 8 long years the Right has suffered the foolish arguments from them.
The Bush stole the election arguments.. The WMD Bush lied arguments.. It did not matter how many times we pointed out that their fellow Liberals where all briefed on the same intelligence and still voted for it.. Nor did it matter that their 1st Black President Bill Clinton said they had WMDs. No facts where to be over looked and ignored.
Just like the argument over the Bush Deficit. Some of the most vile arguments where over that.. Many here completely ignored the fact that The President cannot spend a dime unless Congress approves.. There is no Presidential CHECKBOOK that President Bush could whip out and write a big ole fat check.
BTW is case you have forgotten.. The Democrats controlled Congress for the last 2 years of the Bush administration. Now don’t get me wrong Bush could have vetoed the spending and the Republicans could have been fiscally responsible as well.. Did they …uhh NO.
So.. why no post from these same Liberals over the Obama Deficits.. The Obama administration just came out and said.. Whoops we missed the deficit projection by 2 TRILLION dollars
so the projected deficit is going to be 9 TRILLION dollars.
Obama and Congress (again controlled by Democrats) has already projected to far surpass anything President Bush did.. in the realm of deficit spending.
So my guess on why we are seeing the drive bys occur.. What else do they have.. They know in their hearts this is wrong.. That the massive under taken that Obama is proposing.. trying to ram all this down our throats is inherently wrong for America.
They just can’t seem to come out and say it though. That’s the difference between ignorance and informed.. That is the difference between Democrats and Conservatives and the difference as well between us and the Republicans
Conservatives can see the light at the end of the tunnel.. We just know it is a train and chose to get off the tracks.
The rest of you.. Stick with the Party.. Back your side.. Spout those talking points.. and get run right over.
We will pick up the pieces and soldier on. 2010 is going to be the most important and hard fought over elections you can imagine. You can count on every fringe group out there to come out of hiding. You can count on ABC, NBC and CBS to air every rumor they can about any challenger to the incumbent.
Talk radio already is under attack.. and will be further. If you want to keep your Freedoms you had better man up and take a stand now.

Instead of being able to defend your left-wingnut leadership's inept and ineffective policies you instead choose to "spew" your own repugnant maliciousness as ineffective, shallow excuse as to why you no longer blog. We sat through your post-election boasting and proclamations that HOPE had arrived and that PrezBO, Pelosi, Reid, and Biden were here to save the day. What is so funny is to observe how silent and less boastful you left-wingnut bedwetters get as you realize that Obama and your sacred socialist utopian Democrats are really good blowing massive sums of money with virtually no ROI what-so-ever to We The People.

Prattle on Main Stream. You make all those Incessant Wingnut Crapola Bloggers look like saints standing next to you. Eye-wink

So you had a post deleted.... who hasn't. Whaaaaaaa! That evil Cal and Company deleting bloggers.. yeah right. Just like Sniffles telling me he got banned and that Cal deleted all his blogs. Uh Huh... sure....... There's a reason why he left the blogs voluntarily. You know why don'tcha? Smiling

Well, I haven't, up until yesterday. I've been blogging for over 3 years on this website and we've all seen it get pretty vicious at times, however, my deleted post offended someone in Cal's office apparently which is ridiculous, having seen other folks get away with much worse. The blogging "line in the sand" has been drawn and the conservatives have won the Citizen website, thanks to Cal, so I extend my congratulations to you and your ilk.

"There's a reason why he (sniffles)left the blogs voluntarily. You know why don'tcha"

No actually, I don't know why. We haven't been in touch for several months. It seems you know so why don't you tell us why.

"and if the scare tactics used by some don't keep our legislators from cutting the waste from healthcare "

Do you even think about the stuff BEFORE you type it..
When has "our legislators" ever been able to cut "waste" where you not awake doing tarp and tarp2.. 9000 earmarks..ring a bell.?

8 BILLION DOLLARS in waste and fraud in MEDICARE.. Where are your vaunted "legislators" on that... Let them work on the wastefull spending and fraud in that and other programs before they screw up our Healthcare program.

You truly amaze me.. and I really mean that. People like you, Bonkers, Sniffles, Diva now Hack, Jeff and others.. I mean really can't you see what is going on.. Do you really want this??? Do you guys truly understand what all this means if all of "O"s programs go into effect? I don't think you do.. I think you guys "trust" the party
and are willing to turn a blinds eye to all this..

Folks look this is America.. We stand for something.. Our work ethics and inovated spirit is un-matched in the WORLD. America is a shinning beacon and our Constitution is an example to the rest of the WORLD.. We cannot change who we are to fit some Socialist/Radical model.

Obama said.. "Judge him by who he surrounds himself with".. Well he has surrounded himself with.. Self avowed Communist, Social Radicals, Black Nationalist and groups like "Color of Change", CPUSA (Communist Party USA) the Apollo group.. all filled with Radicals, Communist, anti-capitalist and yes RACIST Jeff.. Obama has them advising him and also helped to write the stimulus bill, as well as, the Healthcare bill.

So using Obama's own words.. I judged him and found him wanting.. you would too if you were not blinded by party loyalty.

President Obama promised America that the unemployment rate would not rise above 8% if Congress passed his stimulus/pork bill.

Unemployment is now hovering around 10% and the President has quadrupled the deficit. He has spent more money that the country does not have than his predecessors combined.

The OMB even says that the rate that the government is squandering money is not sustainable.

The President thinks that he cans bring the economy back by spending.
He is not a very intelligent man, and this job is definitely above his pay grade.

God help us, because the current administration is hell-bent on destroying our great country.

No David's Mom, the description applies to President Obama, and him alone. This is HIS deficit. This is HIS enonomy. He has no clue as to what he is doing and he is running this country into the ground. Any sane person can see that.

President Obama told the Republican party "We won" - remember?

He couldn't have won without a sizeable Republican shift in voting. He told the naysayers that AMERICANS won! No 'sane' person is blind to the weakness of 43. But we move on. No leader will please all of the people all of the time - but to continually hope that Obama fails is suicidal at this time. America MUST recover! Let's hope that the Congress steps up to the plate - and gives us legislation that will strengthen America - forget the labels! Clinton failed because he and Hillary tried to do it without Congress. Now is the time for the people's representatives to step up to the plate and do their job!!

There was no Republican shift in the last election. Obama's victory came from the center - non-committed Dems and Indies who voted based upon race and hope and change. It also came fro the far left where millions of first-time registrants thought they were voting themselves a paycheck. No true Republicans wavered - they held their nose and voted for McCain.

The good news is that the people that put Obama in office won't be voting next November and very few will still be in love with Mr. Hope and Change when he tries for a second term in 2012. It is looking a lot like Carter II.

"President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders - but he also left no doubt about who's in charge of these negotiations. "I won," Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation."

The "naysayers" as you call them, were right when they opposed the Predidents stimulus plan. It has done nothing but drive us further into debt, increased the unemployment rate, and sent $250 checks to felons in Prison. His stimulus plan is a bonafide failure, just like his Presidency.

I agree that America must recover, and Obama is going to have to put his ego in check, step aside, and let people who have experiencing in governing do thier job. His experience as a community rabble-rouser just isn't going to cut it.

The smarter people in congress are out listening to their constituents who are overwhelmingly against the Presidents plan to nationalize healthcare. Let's hope that they keep listening to the people in this organic, grass-roots effort to oppose the Presidents plan to destroy the best health care system in the world.

Stay tuned

I am very much in tune DM. Very much so. I live it daily and fully understand that PrezBO brings NOTHING to the table for the every day producers, small to mid-size businesses and those that rely on said businesses for their subsistence. On the contrary, the vast majority of monies spent have gone to huge corporate entities that have a track record of supporting Democrat politicians via their powerful lobbying arms.

Good grief already.... David's Mom needs to 'git real'.

Their was a huge stimulus monies meeting for industry sector in which several of my colleagues attended. During a break the vast consensus was that these managers from the private sector were going to walk away from a program that required extensive and unrealistic reporting and government control over how these businesses would be run in the future. Any slip up in compliance would cause the feds to retract the monies leaving these businesses in the lurch financially. Examining the efficiency of Cash For Clunkers program and how it appears many dealers are going to be left holding the bag, it is no wonder companies are walking from this private industry control program. All this stimulus plan is doing is expanding government and it's control over our lives. We The People are the one's left holding the bag.

Surely no one thought we'd be out of it in 250 days!

Nope. Never thought that. But I also never thought that we would see the onslaught of regulation, unprecedented wasteful spending, fraud, ineptness from government and a total demonetization of the business world that sustains our country and its populace. As a businessman who communicates constantly with bankers, peers, contractors, government entities, and other various business professional, in a consensus manner the conclusion is there is very little or NO HOPE coming from our government. We feel like the cards are stacked against us and the reality is that we are froze in our tracks and our combined experience coupled with 'COMMON SENSE' plainly dictates that our current president and those he surround himself with have either no desire to truly restore business fundamentals. OR they have a political philosophy that trumps the commoner good and spits in the face of that which made this country great in the first place. No.... I'm not an Obama hater. I want him to succeed in doing what is right for this country. Only his version of change is destructive and something I cannot and will believe in. (Twist that as you may)

I think we're all grateful that our police, firefighters, and teachers are still on the job.

They would have STILL been on the job. What a foolish premise.

even though the pay here in Georgia is meager

The last year Mrs Git taught before retiring she made $68,000 a year for teaching kindergarten. She had holidays off and roughly 10 weeks off in the summer. Now in her early 50's she will receive a handsome retirement check until the day she dies which will probably wind up being more years than she ever worked. Gosh.... causes me wonder just what your definition of "meager" is. To us in the real world your definition of meager translates into generous or lucrative.

I see all of you talking about cheap plasma TVs but I would be careful if I were you.

They are being abandoned by manufacturers.
They are way too heavy, hard to install, and can't be fixed.

They are no better than LCD if as good a picture which depends upon the angle viewed.

They are getting rid of them at about half price at such places as Gregg.
