Friends,
I need your help!
When I met President Obama this week, I really wasn’t pointing at him. I was telling him, “You have ONE more year!” The President needs to be reminded that he is the President of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC and not a KING lording over state governors.
While I wanted to talk to him about jobs, our economy and visiting our border, President Obama criticized my book, Scorpions for Breakfast, and then walked away from me.We deserve results over rhetoric, but this is a President who had the audacity to sue me and Arizona in my efforts to protect our country from illegal immigration!

Mitt Romney will beat Barack Obama because a majority of the country already knows that the president is an epic failure at his job, and a thin-skinned, self-absorbed ideologue to boot.
All the noise about Romney's wealth and the nonsense about his "effective tax rate" won't make a lick of difference to a voter afraid of losing his or her job or fearing for their children's future.
All the left's harrumphing about Bain just isn't going matter to a country desperate for competence and character, discipline and the values of hard work, thrift and sacrifice.

just to catch people up if theyre interested
- breitbart is bragging before he dies that he has a video that will bring down obama- today buzzfeed says theyve got the video breitbart was talking about: a boston public news broadcast about obama (as pres of harvard law review) coming out in support of (harvard law prof) derrick bell's push for the school to hire more women/minorities. was apparently a big deal at the time as obama was seen as moderate on campus.- breitbart outlets accuse buzzfeed of -- not even joking here this is a direct quote -- "selective editing"- breitbart.com publishes their video. it is... exactly the same as buzzfeeds. except lower quality.- PBS also publishes the video to show its not edited

It's hard to imagine this can catch much fire in 2012. If the "Ayers connection" didn't convince you, why would Derrick Bell?
― Mordy, Thursday, 8 March 2012 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
possibly the funniest thing about the whole kerfluffle is that PBS ran clips from the speech in 2008 as part of their election special. breitbart could have avoided this whole thing if only hed watched PBS!

it's really underwhelming. breitbart was promoting this thing so hard, and it's like, this is his posthumous masterpiece and it's pretty lackluster

Just checking, racialist = he talked about race and this word sounds like racist, y?
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 8 March 2012 13:31 (twelve years ago) link
Racialist began its life as a word that meant: someone who believed the conventionally-identified races, which at the time were mostly color-coded as yellow, black, brown, white, red, were inherently quite distinct from one another, and that one could isolate these qualities and be certain to find them in any "pure-blooded" individual of that race. From that unpromising beginning it was a baby step to the whole modern racist fiasco.

Egypt is also called by the name Mistrayim which translates to Mizraim, or Ham’s son. Mizraim is the grandson of Noah from the Bible and is believed to be the founder of the land of Egypt. (Genesis 10:6,13 ) After living in Babel, Mizraim took his family to live in the land of Egypt. He brought with him his 8 children, 4 of which were girls and 4 of which were boys. By calculating the marriages of his children, and the amount of children an average couple would have during that time, it can be estimated that over the course of 30 years each couple would have around 8 children each. This approximation would lead to around 30,000 descendants of Mizraim over the course of 150 years which would be around the time the first pyramid was constructed.

In January 2011, the advocacy group Utah Sound Money released a 30-second ad designed to stir up support for a new bill in the state legislature. “The almighty dollar’s not looking so almighty these days,” the announcer intones as storm clouds fill the screen. “The feds have us tap-dancing at the edge of financial ruin.” A small map of the U.S. totters along a rising red graph of debt. Suddenly, blue skies open as a giant gold coin floats down, using the Constitution as a parachute. “Restoring an inflation-proof, sound-money option offers a time-tested option,” the announcer concludes over the laughter of children at play. Viewers are then urged to support the Utah Sound Money Act.
Sponsored by Representative Brad Galvez, a Republican, the bill would make gold and silver coins from the U.S. Mint legal tender in the state. Although no businesses or individuals are compelled to use them, Galvez’s bill requires the state to accept the coins for tax payments or any government fees. Galvez says he was motivated by a fear that the nation’s mounting debt could lead to a loss of faith in the dollar, resulting in hyperinflation and possibly a currency collapse. He wanted to protect Utah, he says, from this calamity by creating an alternative to “fiat” currency, under which the dollar is backed by the “faith and credit” of the U.S.—not, as it once was, by gold reserves.
The Utah measure might sound like one of the many thousands of fringe bills that get filed in state legislatures and then are never heard of again—except occasionally as a punch line on late-night TV. But Galvez’s bill became law last year. Now he’s working on new proposals to make silver and gold easier to use. While Utah is the first state to pass such a law, others are trying. In the 2011–2012 legislative cycle, bills were introduced in 17 states to either recognize gold and silver coins or study the options for alternative currencies.
