The Political Fish : Priorities: Congresswoman questioning Gen. Petraeus on renewable energy

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:07:23 +0000

Thats quite a leap. Renewable energy saves military lives.

The point of the entire post was simply this...politicians need to get the heck outta the way of fighting this war. Spending the generals time on something as silly as this goes to show what a waste this Congress has become.

The Political Fish : PPP: Obama polling lower than Bush after Katrina

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:51:44 +0000

I dont see how your numbers that you are citing would make this poll deceptive and newsworthy. While the numbers are off 10% to the voting demographics, when have you ever seen a poll that sticks directly to the demographic numbers?? Does Gallup poll that way?? Rasmussen?? Quinnipiac?? No. So lets go ahead and give the numbers a 10% MOE just for arguments sake, and the result of the poll bears out the same..with only slight differences. __Polls are not fact, everyone knows that. But it does give a reflection of public opinion and mood, whether it fits your ideology or not.

The Political Fish : Breaking: Israel boards second ship bound for Gaza

Tue, 8 Jun 2010 00:33:58 +0000

I wont do your research for you, since ive already done my own. But I will give you a hint. Look up the Gaza Freedom march, at which Code Pink (Jodie Evans) and Ayers and Dohrn were major players. As for your collective punishment argument, thats silly. Democratically elected Hamas (who has publicly declared war on Israel) has continually launched rockets into southern Israel, aimed at women and children. Hence, Israel (who is at war with Democratically elected Hamas) has imposed a military blockade (with the aid of Egypt i might add) on the Gaza strip to prevent Iran, Syria and other supporters from smuggling in more rockets. You need to look past the Huffington Post, Daily Kos and NY Times if you want facts about the world around you. Wake up, its really not that hard to figure out.

The Political Fish : Obama pals deeply involved in Free Gaza movement

Sat, 5 Jun 2010 23:02:50 +0000

Not real keen on the world around you I see. What would you like to know about William Ayers, his history?? His association with Obama?? Or his association with FGM? A quick and cursory search of any of those subjects will quickly inform you that you are an idiot. Also, Gaza is NOT under an illegal occupation by Israel, since they pulled out of there last year. However, the Gazan terrorist government Hamas has continued to launch rockets into Israel at women and children. Just a simple fact. The blockade is a perfectly legal (since you invoke the GC, which surely you know nothing about) military reaction to blatant acts of war against Israel. I love it when your ignorant type-set post comments here...it reminds me why i continue to run this blog so blithering idiots and the uninformed can stand a chance in this world.

Big Government : Specter Loses Democratic Primary, Lincoln Forced Into Runoff

Arlen finally got the message loud and clear. The only thing that would have made it better if the GOP side would have been able to retire him, but I will take it as a gift from the left!

The Political Fish : LA Times poll: 94% of respondents against Arizona boycott

Fri, 14 May 2010 18:25:28 +0000

Well Mr. Homo,

I took the bait and went and read your recent post "why would I want to travel to Arizona".

It seems you fall into the same category as our esteemed Attorney General Eric Holder who has not bothered to make himself familiar with the legislation in question.
"First, they sign a law that will force local police to investigate deporting Latino US citizens who don't carry their birth certificates around (as if white people are expected to do that). Then, those lunatics go after ethnic studies. What's next? Are they going to add a swastika to their state flag?"

Where to even begin. First rule of debate, he who randomly and arbitrarily invokes the term "Nazi" loses. You clearly have no grasp of what the Nazi's were even about, otherwise you would have stuffed that statement back in the hole it came from. Secondly, the bill has nothing to do with "investigating deporting American citizens". Thats insane. Mr Homo, do you carry a drivers license or picture ID as REQUIRED by law?? Well, any Hispanic American citizen in AZ would show that piece of ID, should they say get pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign, and that would be the end of the so-called "investigation". However, non-US citizens would have to show their papers (as required by the apparently racist FEDERAL statute). Failure to carry the proper paperwork is ALREADY a violation of the federal immigration laws, and therefore the alien in question would be taken into custody, at which point a further investigation of his status would be undertaken.

Had you done your research on the "ethnic studies" that were targetted by the state, you would have seen that those are classes that teach the overthrow of the United States. Not really ethnic studies as much as revolutionary studies. Are you ok with that Mr. Homo?

As for the poll itself, certainly online polls are not completely scientific. Nowhere did I ever suggest such a thing. But they are however a good gauge on your readership opinions. The LA Times readers overwhelmingly think that their city leadership fumbled on this one, or for those who are not from LA, they overwhelmingly feel that pitting an American city against an American state is not only morally reprehensible, but also may just be illegal.

Exit question: Are you not profiling white people and the state of Arizona with your irresponsible comments? Profiling is SO wrong you say...but you engage in the behavior you decry. That is the hypocrisy of the left, and that is why you are detestable to the majority of Americans.

Big Government : Why We Should Support Arizona

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 23:45:23 +0000

Bravo Congressman King. It amazes me the logic being bandied around on the left that this is somehow an unconstitutional state law. Its ludicrous to think that illegal immigrants should be allowed to continue in their illegal behavior. Federal disregard does not trump state law, no matter how much the left (and even some on the political right I am finding) wants to believe it. I am viewing this bill as the state finally stepping in and forcing the hand of the federal government to act on its own law, which can only be a good thing for citizens who believe in law and order. The State of Arizona is paying a heavy price at the hands of this thrust of illegal residents, to the detriment of her legal US citizens. Politics has played a leading role in this issue for far too long, its about time someone did the politically dangerous move of doing the right thing. Thank you Jan Brewer, and Congressman please stand firm with her on this!

Big Government : The Tea Party: A Heartfelt Hymn of American Redemption

Rep. McCotter, as a constituent on district over from yours (represented by non-other than John Dingell, and i use the term represent loosely) I must say that having you as part of the Michigan delegation is an honor. This is a very thoughtful representation of the tea party movement and those of us who have been on board since its inception appreciate that someone in Washington actually gets it. Keep on Thad, you are doing the Western suburbs of Detroit very proud!

The Political Fish : Obama closes summit with threat to GOP

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:06:36 +0000

Billy, what I am saying is that at some point the American people are going to make their point to this administration. The streets of America started looking like the streets of Tehran this past summer thanks to the teaparties and the million folks that gathered at the national mall in September. The politicalfish would never advocate violence, but the writing is on the wall. The American people DO NOT want this bill, we DO NOT want more government intrusion, and we DO NOT want more spending. For some reason (and i happen to believe i know the reason) the President refuses to listen, and then purports himself to NOT be an ideologue, even though he is stuffing his ideology down our throats.

The Political Fish : Brown goes Blue on the jobs bill

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:21:30 +0000

I would say in some respects it was a smart move politically. He comes up for re-election in 2012, and a large number of supporters are left of center type folks. You cannot represent your left of center folks by staying hard right and in tow with the GOP party line. As far as re-election goes, it was a smart move to at least let his constituents know that he is still a "Scott Brown Republican". Nationally speaking, he is getting hammered by conservatives who expected him to be the savior...so he may lose some support that way. What will hurt him is his flip flop on stimulus, and when this Stim Jr. fails like its daddy did...it will hurt him, unless he starts spouting off the Joe Biden talking point of "jobs saved"
