Ryan backpedals, sayd he did seek

For the past several centuries, the world has experienced a sequence of intellectual revolutions against oppression of one sort or another. These rebellions operate in the minds of humans and are spread eventually to most of the world, not by war, which tends to involve multiple causes, but by language and communications technology. Ultimately, the ideas they advance, unlike the causes of war, become noncontroversial. The next such revolution, likely to occur in the 21st century, will challe ...

Pakistan to seek terror charges against Americans By MUNIR AHMAD The Associated Press Thursday, December 31, 2009; 11:15 AM ISLAMABAD -- Pakistani police said Thursday they plan to ask a court to charge five Americans arrested in early December with terrorism, and will seek life sentences against them. The young Muslim men, who are from the Washington D.C. area, were captured in the eastern Pakistan city of Sargodha in a case that has spurred fe ...

A popular visa program allegedly is being misused by U.S. companies to lay off thousands of American workers and replace them with foreign labor. ...

European Union leaders and Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros are seeking a "new, mixed, Muslimized Europe," Hungary's anti-migration prime minister said Saturday. Prime Minister Viktor Orban said during a visit to Romania that Hungary's border fences, supported by other Central European countries, will block the EU-Soros effort to increase Muslim migration into Europe. ...

I love paul ryan. well said on his part. ...

quotes: Ryan gave strong advice to GOP presidential candidates: "If you want to be the president of the United States, you should put up ideas on how to solve this country's massive fiscal and economic problems. The current president isn't doing that. Our nominees should do that." This man gets it. I don't care what party he is...he gets it. ...

In an interview with Josh Smith, WJHL-TV out of Richmond, VA, when asked where he stands on the question of legal abortions for rape and incest victims, Paul Ryan replied: "I'm very proud of my pro-life record, and I've always adopted the idea that, the position that the method of conception does'nt change the definition of life." Lah-dee-dah. Rape is just another legitimate method of conception. This should erase any doubts on where he stands, and demolish an ...

So, Ryan is up there whining about the GM plant that closed in his home town and how that's all Obama's fault. News flash: That plant closed in 2008 before Obama took office. I think I counted about 12 lies during that speech. Awesome candidate. ...

suddenly now a "compassionate" conservative and is addressing the issue of poverty. In fact, what Ryan wants to do is turn welfare and food stamp programs back to the STATES; he then can continue to eliminate the entire amount from the federal budget, as he has planned to do all along! ...

Not sure where to post this but I don't think I'll be eating at any Ryan's Restaurant anywhere anymore. The Ryan's in my city was closed without notice to their employees this past Sunday morning. The employees worked Saturday, came to work on Sunday expending to work only to find a locked door and note saying the restaurant was closed. Horrible way to treat employees. Fortunately for some of them, another local restaurant manager is willing and wanting ...

Ryan: "One of the best said, our rights come from nature and nature's god. They don't come from government. That's the idea of this country." Ummmm....then why is it, Mr. Ryan, that you want government to overule a woman's right to choose? And does this also extend to voting rights Mr. Ryan? Hmmmm. ...

. . . the federal government's. If it's good enough for them . . . The NYT said Ryan has the same plan for Medicare as federal employees enjoy (published 04/18/2011). Also, Ryan wrote this: "Starting in 2022, new Medicare beneficiaries will be enrolled in the same kind of health care program that members of Congress enjoy." His op-ed about this was published in the WSJ. Sounds good to me! ...

I have been hearing that Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand saying the following: "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that's what I tell people." "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are." I have to admit I did not know anything about Any Rand, so I ...

So, Ryan says he's a fan of the music group "Rage against the machine." This in itself is really, really confusing given the content of their songs. The article is linked. Exert -- "Don't mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta "rage" in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he's not raging against is the privileged elit ...

10. “Their moment came and went. Fear and division are all they’ve got left. With all their attack ads, the president is just throwing away money— and he’s pretty experienced at that.” 9. “President Barack Obama came to office during an economic crisis, as he has reminded us a time or two.” 8. “It all started off with stirring speeches, Greek columns, the thrill of something new. Now all that’s left is a presidency adrift, surviving on slogans that already seem tired, gra ...

According to Fox News columnist Sally Kohn, vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday "was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech." ...

Interview with folks from the GM plant. ...

running for Vice President and also to be re-elected to his Wisconsin seat in the US House. I guess this is legal in Wisconsin. His ads are going to start running today. It feels kind of creepy to me. Has anyone else ever done this before? ...

Turns out seniors (Romney's 47%-er moochers) are smarter than pubs think. ...

PAUL RYAN: "I gotta start off on something that was really troubling that occured last night, did you guys watch that Packer game last night? Give me a break! It's time to get the real refs! You know, it reminds me of President Obama and the economy! If you can't get it right, it's time to get out! I have to think that these refs work part time for President Obama in the budget office! They see the national debt clock staring them in the face, they see a debt crisis an ...

Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously off about Paul Ryan's eyes? Years ago, I read that when the whites of the eyes show below the irises, it's an indication of something--I can't remember quite what, but I think it was a negative thing. That look has always given me a bit of a chill. I believe some thyroid conditions cause a similar look, so maybe that's it. ...

It was so nice to see positive, optimistic news coming out of DC again. The link starts with part 1 and then part 2 follows. Great News and Great Interview! ...

Cut Medicare and privatize Social Security. That's what the republicans presented. Let's hope we don't hear any more screaming about rationing health care under Obama, because that's what the republicans want, not the dems. I am amazed that they are not just sticking to NO. Whenever they come up with a proposal, it hits the fan. Like this tired attempt to do Medicare and Social Security in. The good news is that there are a fair number of older people who are republi ...

There are always parts "left out..." ...

It's on the combined budgetary impact on enacting the reconcillation proposal H.R. 3590 and H.R. 3961 plus the impact of enacting the proposal with some provisions altered and cash flow for the Hospital Insurance Fund. It's an interesting read. http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/113xx/doc11376/RyanLtrhr4872.pdf ...

"Paul Krugman was crunching numbers on Ryan's so-called budget and the Heritage Foundation projections it relies upon, and found something interesting.After he and others had reported the preposterously optimistic drop in unemployment (to under 3% within 10 years), it vanished. The unemployment percentage line in the Budget Analysis documentation was removed."http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/06/memory-hole... / That good old Heritage Foundation. ...

I wish it was Condoleezza Rice! ...

the campaign trail with him to Florida. Woo-hoo - you Go Mom! ...

Romney's pick of Ryan has certainly accomplished what I can only presume was one of his goals in announcing the pick before the convention....get the heat off talking about tax returns, for one thing. ...

Ryan backpedals, sayd he did seek

Then he and Romney are the perfect match!! - nm
