I am not for Obama: BUT….this total lunacy of PORK BARREL $$$$$ HAS TO STOP. Put the blame for the huge RED INK…..where it belongs…on the whole Congress who seems
bent on providing for their “home folks” and forget it America…..ZILLIONS of Pork Barrel
projects with each spending bill that the “in crowd” in Congress…..uses Fish Oil….so the
hands slide over each isle easier.
Just look at Homeland Security…..the endless grants they hand out each
week/month…check other states via newspapers or TV web sites…..geeze….no end to
Grants that Homeland Security hands out…..like they are printing $$$ rather than the
Treasury.
And the vets need help with losing their way….and loss of limbs in a far away….yet close to
home, a worthless un-winable camel herding mud hut road side IED’s place, wasting $$$$
on top of dollars & worse….makes me sick to see all the service people….handling the
mental side of losing 1 to 4 limbs…..such a total waste.

The End of America? More like the fleeting delusions of stupid, sinister and fading old white guys.
According to the Congressional Budget Office official numbers the top three causes of the budget
deficit are: 1) Bush’s tax cuts 2) The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan 3) The financial collapse and
resulting great depression. These old fools were the ones cheer leading for all three of these.

This financial collapse started with Jimmy Carter’s community reinvestment act which turned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into loan/money laundering operations.
Clinton added to the problem by signing legislation that FORCED the banks to make loans to
people who couldn’t possibly pay them back. The banks could offload the loans to the taxpayers,
thru Fannie Mae and Freddie, and the loans were then bundled as investments and sold to naive
investors..
Clinton and Greenspan basically forced out the woman who was running the Chicago Commodities
Exchange who said those investments should be regulated as commodities. She was later
appointed to the panel to determine how the government created the mess..
ACORN style groups swarmed the bank offices demanding loans and creating chaos, just the way
Saul Alinsky and community organizers advocated.
The rest is history, but as always, the facts will never be acknowledged, we’ll just get fools who are
willing to believe anything Obama says, and hates everyone Obama wants to demonize.

Thinker—blaming the financial collapse on poor people doesn’t just make your moniker a joke—it should cause you to question what’s happening in your soul. Beyond that—the “blame it on poor people”
right wing attack is purely and completely untrue. It is just mythology promoted by bad people who
crashed the economy and wish to take no responsibility for it.
Read what Business Weekly says about your claim. Please pay special attention to what they refer to
as “no-nothings.”

The fact that there has not been a party purge of pernicious Neocon influence in nearly 12 years tells us there are no adults left in the Republican building.
Here is a message from traditional conservative America to these Neocons who willfully dashed our
hopes for redemption against the rocks of bald opportunism: [Message Deleted by Homeland
Security]

It’s a joke! But seriously, these people [Message Deleted by Homeland Security]. Not only that, but [Message Deleted by Homeland Security] to the [Message Deleted by Homeland Security] when
[Message Deleted by Homeland Security].
[Message Deleted by Homeland Security] to all Neocons, now and forever!

It’s amazing how many right wing screwballs the Republicans and tea baggers are able to dredge uup. Molen is a prime example.
By bopho on 07-02-12 @ 11:48 pm
I think this Molen is a real piece of work. A few weeks back we here that poor Mr. Molen was treated shabbily by the evil Ronan schools. Where did we find out the “facts” of this horror. On the Opinion
Page of the DIL which gave him some very generous space for him to tell us how much of a victim
he was. And to prove how important he is the picture with the Oscar was included. As he reminds
us over and over, he produced the award winning movie Schindler’s List.
So the story of Mr. Molen not being allowed to speak at the Ronan schools because of his
conservative views is picked up by various elements of the right-wing blogsphere. And every time it
is mentioned that Molen was the Producer of Schindler’s List.
The only response we get from the the Ronan schools is that some parents objected to Mr. Molen
speaking. Oh, the liberal horror. Allowing parents to have a say in what their children hear in school.
And then - Ta Da - we hear Molen is releasing a movie he directed. First the publicity and then the
movie. Molen is nothing but a Hollywood hack.
And about Schindler’s LIst. He didn’t produce it. He was a producer on the movie. There were
several. But as everybody knows, Schindler’s List is a Stephen Spielberg movie not a Gerald Molen
movie. And the great irony of these coattails he is hanging on to is that Stephen Spielberg is a
Hollywood liberal that Molen seems so much to detest. And Spielberg is also an outspoken
supporter of Obama.
And about Molen’s movie. It is a supposition of how horrible everything will be in four years if Obama
is reelected. This supposition is based on the fact the Obama, through no fault of his own, had a
multicultural upbringing and somehow this is a bad thing in a great multicultural country like the
United States.

Well said Bopho

From Obama’s book “The Audacity of Hope”:
“...the people I meet in small towns and big cities and diners and office parks—they don’t expect
government to solve all of their problems. Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and they’ll tell
you that they don’t want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or by the Pentagon. Go into
any inner-city neighborhood and folks will tell you that government alone can’t teach kids to learn.”
“And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn—I may not have won your vote, but I
hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too.”
Hmmm…can it be true that Obama is actually a closet conservative? No…can’t be…

Such a well developed sense of hatred for white people Hankie. I can tell you must have been to kollege.

Note from the Komisariat, though comrade—you’re supposed to keep that stuff quiet until the Revolution is complete.
By redhawk on 07-03-12 @ 5:30 pm
Wow, the end of America?! Nice dramatic opening, too bad the script is lame Mr. Molen.
By JB on 07-04-12 @ 12:58 am
Let’s do get one thing clear - Obama isn’t socialist. Socialism does not allow private ownership of property - and Obama, truthfully, has not promoted that at all (one can only surmise what would
happen if he actually did broach socialism with Americans).
Obama is, however, very similar to one tyrannical figure in our history - a man who promoted
corporatism as a tenet of government.
And I’ll bet the pseudo-cognoscenti leftists commenting here would have no idea who that might be.
By RussCrowder on 07-05-12 @ 12:25 pm
As I recall JB, one form of socialism, “National Socialism”, does allow the ownership of private property…So, are we talking about the two great National Socialists of our time, Obama and let’s see,
who was that other guy?
By Mike J on 07-06-12 @ 8:22 pm
Four years ago Mr. Molen made a bunch of predictions about all the (awful) things that would happen if Obama were elected. Almost all did not come true. Any predictions he makes about the
President’s next term should be treated with a great deal of suspicion, if not complete disbelief. Mr.
Molen accused Obama of not governing but ruling. My question to him and everyone else would be
what would happen if the President were a republicant as well as the congress, would be be
governed or ruled? To me the answer is obvious—more wars and more grief.

No truer words were spoken than when Jerry Molen said, “They were asleep to the horrors aroundthem.” These comments are proof of that! Have none of you even noticed that some of the comments
above have been CENSORED? DO YOU EVEN CARE? WAKE UP! It astounds me that all the masses are
interested in is what to wear, what’s on the tube, what the government will give them and what
their own opinion is. Way to go, Flathead Beacon, for selling us out by violating our First
Amendment Rights to FREE SPEECH!

@Hankie - so gratified I could cause you to put fingers to keyboard.
By JB on 07-10-12 @ 6:56 pm
@Hankie - what is a “teatard”, BTW? Is that supposed to be a retort to “libtard”...or did I call you that already?
