" Bashir later asked: "So you're saying that they are delusional about the past and adamant about the future?"
"They are adamant about achieving something that's unachievable, which reminds us of a couple of things. It reminds us of delusion and psychosis," Peele responded. "
Something that's "unachievable?" I want the government to live within its means. That's "unachievable?"
I want Mr Obama to move away from his socialist policies. I'll concede that one to the "expert."
But my wanting the government to live within its means and not overtax the American People makes me delusional?
Dr Peele thinks he can diagnose me without having seen me in person, without knowing anything about me except that I'm a Tea Party supporter.
How's that for delusional?

WH spin cycle: Spin, spin, and spin again. Repeat.
The link: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/08/03/obama_were_not_even_halfway_there_yet.html
I have to take strong exception to what the White House mouthpiece said today. He said (to paraphrase) that when President TelePrompTer came into office that many economists were saying we were heading for a depression.
It’s true that some were. I was. But if you remember, getting President TelePrompTer elected was supposed to fix the economy. He was the saviour in the saviour-based economy. His getting (without earning in my opinion) the Nobel Prize was supposed to fix everything. It was supposed to improve America’s “bad” standing in the world. It didn’t quite work out that way, did it?
Now it is true that President Obama did inherit a bad economy. I’ve never said otherwise. But how far into Mr Obama’s term are we? And things haven’t gotten better, they’ve gotten worse.
But the spinning doesn’t, and won’t, stop there. On the front page of the Drudge Report as of this writing (see screenshot below) is this line where Mr Obama said “I didn’t say change we can believe in tomorrow.”
Now that’s all well and good. But many people were hoping that Mr Obama’s “change we need” and “change we can believe in” and “hope” were promising that if only we’d elect him, he’d fix everything quickly.
But things haven’t gotten better, they’ve gotten worse.
Therefore, I have to ask: is it just barely possible that he’s made a bad situation worse? Be very careful with your answer. If you answer no, then … well, we’ve covered that ground before, haven’t we?
Is it just barely possible that he might possibly bear some blame for the bad economy? Notice the way that’s phrased: “ … just barely possible … “ and “ … might possibly bear some blame … “ The way the question is phrased I’m not saying he does: I’m asking if it’s possible.
It’s no secret that I don’t like Mr Obama’s policies, I never have. I’ve never stated otherwise, either. I was willing to give him a chance on fixing the economy (and everything else) because morally it’s the right thing to do and because he was the President.
Things didn’t work out that way. We’re now in a double-dip recession, since the “first” one ended (in theory) in 2009. In reality, I don’t believe it ever ended. Many people, myself included, believe we’re now on the brink of a depression.
Obama’s policies have, in my opinion, made an already bad situation worse.
eady bad situation worse.

AP: "Northeast braces for temps near boiling point"
Yes, you read that correctly. There's just one slight problem.
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit which is 100 degrees Celsius. And that's at one atmosphere of pressure (sea level.) It's 373.15 degrees Kelvin for instance.
Given all the pontification they were doing during the RatherGate Affair about their "layers of fact-checking" which I believe was the exact phrase that was used, I rather expect them to pick up on small details such as this.
Perhaps, as one of the comments on the page noted, they're too busy digging up dirt on Ms Palin's upcoming book. Or, perhaps they're too busy repeating the Democrat's talking points about the Tea Party people being "terrorists" or as the President has said "holding a gun to the heads of the American People."
Civility for me but not for thee, Mr Obama?

Joe Biden: Tea Partiers "acted like terrorists."
The link: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/60421.html
" Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having "acted like terrorists" in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room. " (Link is Politico's and is left intact.)
" ... having acted like terrorists ... " Let's see:
Did I; blow up government buildings like Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground did? Nope.
Did I; murder innocent people as Maj. Hasan did at Fort Hood? Nope.
Did I; hide a bomb in my underwear and try to blow up a plane? Nope.
Did I; hide a bomb in my shoe and try to blow up a plane? Nope.
Did I; strap a bomb to myself and try to blow up the Space Needle? Nope.
But because I'm for fiscal reform, I'm the "terrorist?" Did I miss something?
" We have negotiated with terrorists," an angry [Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA)] said, according to sources in the room. "This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money."
Apparently, these two men missed Mr Obama's calls to tone down the rhetoric after Rep. Giffords was shot. Either that, or they just don't give a damn. More of "Do as I say - not as I do!"
" Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) called it a "Satan sandwich," and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) called seemed to enjoy the heat analogy, saying: "the Tea Partiers and the GOP have made their slash and burn lunacy clear, and while I do not love this compromise, my vote is a hose to stop the burning. The arsonists must be stopped. "
So now I'm an arsonist, too?
Now how about it, Dems? You tone down your rhetoric.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee pulls out the Race card
The link: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/171807-sheila-jackson-lee-suggests-congress-complicating-debt-ceiling-because-obama-is-black
Yes, you got it. In what’s got to be a record time (.000000000000000317 seconds,) Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) reached for the … you guessed it … RACE card!
“ “Why is he [Mr Obama] different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is [the] question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully?”
Let’s see: There’s his Communist, Socialist, and Marxist ‘czars’, the ‘stimulus’ that we were told would keep the unemployment rate no higher than 8 per cent (it’s currently at 9.2, but I digress,) there were the ‘shovel-ready’ projects that even he had to admit weren’t quite as ‘shovel-ready’ as he’d hoped, Van Jones, his ‘green jobs czar’ was a self-confessed COMMUNIST who co-founded a group built upon Marxist ideas, the bailout of GM, the bailout of Fannie, the bailout of Freddie, the TARP [Troubled Asset Relief Program [the bailout of the banks] ] his friendship with Bill Ayers the unrepentant TERRORIST whose group bombed government buildings, his past association with ACORN which during the 2008 election was under investigation for voter registration FRAUD in 14 states, need I go on?
John Holdren, the science czar is in favour of forced abortions and mass sterilization. In fact, he co-wrote a book named “Eco-Science: Population, Resources, Environment” (*)
The Apollo Alliance, who according to Harry Reid [D-Nevada] helped write the stimulus bill. One of their leaders, Jeff Jones, was another founder of the Weather Underground – the same terrorist group as Bill Ayers.
Then there’s Cass Sunstein, the regulatory czar, who proposed bans on hunting and eating meat. Not to outdo himself, but he also suggested that your dog be allowed to have an attorney in court. And then there’s his “Fairness Doctrine” for the Internet. Yes, if you criticize the President, or government then you need to be investigated. His words, folks.
Carol Browner, the global warming czar, was a member of Socialists International. They are a group in favour of global government. (**)
So, Mr Obama’s had pretty close run-ins with a COMMUNIST and TWO TERRORISTS. But I’m RAAAAAAAAAAACIST for pointing this out.
“Jackson Lee concluded by saying that she hoped someone would step up and say that what appears obvious to her is not in fact true. “
Ms Jackson Lee, I’ve been saying this since before the election. But since you and others like you have deluded yourselves into making me a “racist” then I must not count, right?
But let me ask this: How many Marxists, Communists, Socialists do you have around you?
How many times do we need to find a Marxist, Communist, Socialist, TERRORIST around the President before we get madder than hell and Impeach him?
But remember, I’m the one with the problems.

The Democrat's Playbook
NOTE: This is my second posting of this. The first time, Blogspit (yes, I meant to type that) ate it, saying there was an ‘editing conflict.’ Oddly enough, the last time it happened, my last posting, was also highly critical of the Campaigner-in-Thief. But this is Google that owns Blogspit, so it isn’t too surprising.
The Democrat’s playbook has a number of oft-used cards in it. Two of the key ones are, of course, the race card and the gender card. If we attend Tea Party protests, or even agree with them, the Democrat’s only answer is that we’re RAAAACISTS!!! To them, there’s no other possible answer.
Remember Janeane Garofalo on MSNBC speaking about the Tea Party Movement? She herself said it. “Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House. That is racism straight up. This is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks.[21] “ (Links are Wikipedia’s and are left intact.)
So, according to her, I don’t know my history, and the reason I dislike Mr Obama is because he’s black. Well, it’s so very nice to know that Ms Garofalo knows what’s in my mind and my heart. She can conceive of no other possible answer. It’s not because I dislike Mr Obama’s policies, again according to her. It’s not because he’s surrounded himself with socialists and Marxists (a la Van Jones, a self-confessed Communist) it simply must be, again according to her, because he’s black.
There is a word for that. But first, the definition from dictionary.com: “a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact: a paranoid delusion”
Yes, the word is delusional. Note that I’m not calling her a name, I’m describing her reasoning. Yes, the first part certainly fits, doesn’t it? The race card has been debunked how many times now? Yet they still reach for it. Believe it or not, but they’re part of the problem too.
Expect more of that this election. If we don’t vote for Mr Obama (again) it’s simply (again) because we’re RAAAAACIST!!!
But you know it won’t end there. If Ms Bachmann were a Democrat and we didn’t vote for her, it’s simply because we’re sexist. Again, this is according to the liberals. I was told that the reason I didn’t like Ms Clinton was because she’s a woman. Actually, I don’t like her policies, and then there’s her baggage (er…husband) Bill. I’d have no problem with a woman being the President, as long as I agreed with her positions. For the record, I would’ve voted for Dr Condoleezza Rice, had she been running. And since she’s also African-American, that takes both your favourite cards off the table. Time to put those tired old cards away.
Seriously, don’t you hate being told you’re something that you’re not? I hate being called a racist, it’s been disproven repeatedly, yet they can conceive of no other answer. Oh, and it’s because my heart’s filled with hate. ::sigh::
Another of the Democrat’s favourite cards is to demagogue. Mr Obama reached for that card today during his press conference. Yes, according to him, it’s going to be “Armageddon” unless we raise the debt ceiling. Didn’t he himself say that Social Security cheques might not go out? That’s been disproven, too. Yet he still reached for the demagogue card. According to a new poll, only 34 per cent of Americans want higher taxes. But in Mr Obama’s own little world, 80 per cent do. ::sigh:: He can conceive of no other option, other than to raise taxes. The solution, however, is simple. Cut spending and live within your means. It’s not rocket science. It really isn’t.
So we’ve got
The Race Card
The Gender (sexist) Card
The Demagogue Card
Now it’s time to add another. I’m calling this one the “Name-Calling” or “Idiot” card. Yes, according to the liberals, I’m simply not smart enough to comprehend what Mr Obama’s trying to do. Didn’t he himself say that he should’ve done a better job explaining the stimulus? In other words “I need to use smaller and simpler words because the people are too damn dumb to know what I’m trying to do. It’s their fault!”
Aren’t you tired of seeing that card as well? “Well, you’re too dumb.” Oh, and then they belittle you. Disparage also works. Just to be certain that the meaning hadn’t changed overnight, I went to dictionary.com. Still means the same.
