I attempt to post a new issue each Sunday by 5 or 6 pm central standard time (I sometimes fail at this attempt).

I try to include factual material only, along with my opinions (it should be clear which is which). I make an attempt to include as much of this week’s news as I possibly can. The first set of columns are intentionally designed for a quick read.

I do not accept any advertising nor do I charge for this publication. I write this principally to blow off steam in a nation where its people seemed have collectively lost their minds.

And if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, always remember: We do not struggle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12).

This Week’s Events

The Supercommittee fails to strike a grand bargain, and adjourns.

The company Jack Daniels will not be forced to pay an extra $5 million in taxes, as desired by the city council. It appears that the taxing authorities have found out, they will move their enterprise out of Kentucky, if need be.

A federal judge rules that Harrisburg, PA, cannot go bankrupt. The mayor opposed the filing and the city council was unable to come up with a plan to solve the millions that this city owes.

A NATO drone attack kills 2 dozen or more Pakistan soldiers, and Pakistan refuses to let supples go through their territory.

Various knives, including a large kitchen knife and other potential instruments of violence were found in the flower beds throughout Zuccotte Park, after Occupy Wall Street protesters were evicted by the Police Department last week.

Occupy Wall Street has a benefit album planned with Jackson Browne, Third Eye Blind, Crosby & Nash, Devo, Lucinda Williams and even some of those drummers who kept an incessant beat at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park. Activist filmmaker Michael Moore is also planning to sing.

Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city.

Occupiers finally arrive in Washington D.C. after a 230 mile trek; their purpose was to pressure the Supercommittee; that Supercommittee which adjourned the day before they arrived.

Occupy Indianapolis is down to a handful of protesters, and, apparently, some or all of these are homeless people. Some of the organizers indicate that they will be re-energized by springtime.

Two different Occupy Boston groups are suing each other. One thing about the courts in Boston; they have heat.

Nathan Shafer was arrested Wednesday for making a Facebook threat on the life of Gov. Nikki Haley. He is also a supporter of the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Very small groups of occupy types have been demonstrating in front of Walmart’s, Macy’s in NYC and elsewhere. They are dwarfed by the number of shoppers at these establishments.

Obama fund-raising letter offers a possible dinner with the president for you and a guest if you make a $3 donation to him.

Tony Rezko, former fundraiser and friend of President Barack Obama and Gov. Rod Blagojevish, was sentenced to 10½ years in prison this week for corruption. A portion of the land that President Obama owns adjacent to his own lot was part of a deal with Tony Rezko. Could there be a presidential pardon in the works for Rezko?

The Labor Department approved Trade Adjustment Assistance for the former employees of the bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra. Solyndra received $528 million in federal loan guarantees and then went bankrupt. This

employment assistance will mean that all of the firm's 1,100 ex-employees are eligible for federal aid packages, including job retraining and income assistance. The department has valued packages at about $13,000 a head. So, up to $14 million in additional taxpayer money will be spent to assist and perhaps even retrain green job employees.

Washington Post's liberal blogger Ezra Klein gives a 30 minute briefing to top Democrat heads.

Attorney General Eric Holder is now suing the state of Utah over its immigration laws.

Obama administration called on a Mennonite-owned health insurance company to cancel its proposed 11.6 percent rate hike, marking the first time the government has tried to pressure a private company under the new health care law.

Congress raided the Obamacare piggy bank for the third time in less than a year.

Waco, Ga., businessman Bill Looman, stirred up no little controversy when he posted signs that read: "New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone." He has since been reported to the FBI as a threat to national security and has been subsequently interviewed by Secret Service agents.

When presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show, she was untraced by a Song Called "Lyin' Assed B-i-itch" NBC finally apologized to her for this.

Frontrunner Newt Gingrich came out in a debate favoring some form of non-voting amnesty for long-term illegals in the United States.

A new cache of leaked `Climategate' emails has revealed that Britain's leading green activist research centre spent £15,000 on seminars for top BBC executives in an apparent bid to block climate change sceptics from their airwaves. University staff vetted BBC scripts, used their contacts at the Corporation were to stop sceptics from being interviewed and University staff were consulted about how the broadcaster should alter its program output.

Say What?

Liberals:

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "All the president has to do - and I'm not trying to hold him more responsible, but he is the chief executive, he was elected to lead this country - all he's got to do is stand up and say, `I will veto any extension of any of the Bush-era tax cuts.' Everybody. Not just the rich, but everybody."

Barack Obama to Reverend Al Sharpton: “Look, there's no doubt that I'm disappointed that not just Congress generally, but the Republicans in particular, are not willing to put serious revenue on the table as part of a balanced plan. . . So the position they're taking is short-sighted. Uh, but, uh, you know, I, uh, it, it, it must be my, uh, religious faith, reverend, cause, uh, hope springs eternal and I continue to believe that at some point common sense will prevail and we'll be able to work something out...we’ve got to have a balanced plan that’s fair, which everybody is sacrificing for the greater good.”

Senate leader Harry Reid: "The American people are tired of their elected leaders listening to the extreme voices in their party instead of the voices of reason. I am disappointed that Republicans never found the courage to ignore Tea Party extremists and millionaire lobbyists such as Grover Norquist, and listen instead to the millions of Americans - including the vast majority of Republicans - who want a balanced approach to deficit reduction. For the good of our country, Democrats were prepared to strike a grand bargain that would make painful cuts while asking millionaires to pay their fair share, and we put our willingness on paper. But Republicans never came close to meeting us halfway."

Occupy WalMart sign: “DON’T BE A CONSUMER WHORE. STEP FEEDING THE BEAST.”

Jennifer, at Occupy Macy’s NYC: "We're here to let people know about corporate greed, and Macy's is a major corporate place."

Older demonstrator in Occupy Oakland: “The SDS is back by popular demand.” He was not an actual member of SDS, but of MOBE (?) which came later (I don’t know who they are either). “We want to make sure that we’re not seen as scary to the 99%.”

Note from Occupier handed to Barack Obama: “Mr. President: Over 4000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. While bankers continue to destroy the American economy. You must stop the assault on our 1st amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable. Banks got bailed out. We got sold out. ”

Natasha Lennard, explaining why she has left the main stream media: “Journalism must break the chains of objectivity and report truth -- and the Occupy movement led me to do just that”

The Reverend Al Sharpton speaking of what he was thankful for this Thanksgiving: "Last year we had just come out of the midterm elections where the Republicans gained 61 seats and we were under siege by the tea party. This year, Occupy Wall Street, whatever its shortcomings, it changed the conversation to where we are now talking about economic inequality - 1 percent versus 99. I am grateful for that."

President Barack Obama’s Thanksgiving message: “We're also grateful for the Americans who are taking time out of their holiday to serve in soup kitchens and shelters, making sure their neighbors have a hot meal and a place to stay. This sense of mutual responsibility - the idea that I am my brother's keeper; that I am my sister's keeper - has always been a part of what makes our country special. And it's one of the reasons the Thanksgiving tradition has endured. I know that for many of you, this Thanksgiving is more difficult than most. But no matter how tough things are right now, we still give thanks for that most American of blessings, the chance to determine our own destiny. The problems we face didn't develop overnight, and we won't solve them overnight. But we will solve them. All it takes is for each of us to do our part.”

Democrat Dennis Kucinich on the occupy movement: "What we're looking at here is a burgeoning social and economic movement that is a sharp protest to the maldistribution of wealth, to the practices of Wall Street that have helped collapse this economy. It's an authentic expression of the concern that the American people have about the direction that the country is going in. We need to listen to that, rather than just denigrate it."

Planned Parenthood holiday message: "The holidays are upon us! Going home or getting together with relatives for the holidays is always a stressful time, but if your family members are the type who regularly protest outside the local Planned Parenthood, you know that this holiday is going to be a doozy. Luckily, we have some tips for surviving those awkward conversations. So read on, and bring some diplomacy and understanding to the table along with that pumpkin pie." And then PP gives tips on how to score points for abortion without seeming to be too confrontational. Just correct all the errors in the thinking of your conservative family members.

President Cecile Richards of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund: "We know that the challenges ahead are real, and that the work of protecting access to reproductive health care will be difficult. We will need you with us, and I can't tell you how much it means to me and to everyone at Planned Parenthood to know that we have you with us."

Comedienne and actress Janeane Garofalo on the TEA party types: "It always works on a certain segment of the population. If you are trying to appeal to the worst in us. Quite literally, the worst in us and you're trying to go to the limbic brain of anxiety, fear, intolerance, hatred, bitterness, ignorance, you have to just use these very simple, as they say, dog whistle words...But they [TEA party types] do love a black man like Herman Cain, and Michael Steele, and is it Ron Christie? Any of these pundits who pretend we're in a post-racial society. They like that kind of black person."

Minister Louis Farrakhan said that the failure of a bi-partisan economic commission: "The confusion is the sign of the end...And as you are witnessing partisan politics is killing democracy and killing the United States of America as a world power."

The Compliant Obama Press Corps:

CNN Hostette to John Kerry: "Senator Kerry, just yesterday on Meet the Press you said there were things you agreed to that you didn't want to talk about public, which sounded very sexy I might add. People want to know, what were the concessions? And would it have been enough to strike a deal here?"

CNN analyst Roland Martin: “If there is one institution that has made a point of desperately trying to keep women in their place, it's organized religion.”

Piers Morgan to Jon Huntsman: "Are you frustrated that you are still lagging in the polls when the credentials that you seem to offer at this very challenging time for America, particularly in the international stage, seem so much more impressive than many of your rivals?" In case you are unaware, liberals first choice for Republican candidate is Jon Huntsman and their 2^nd choice is Mitt Romney.

Piers Morgan: “When I hear you talk, Jon Huntsman, about foreign affairs in particular, it's always very impressive. You're smart about it. You're articulate. I even spoke to you once and you talked to me in Mandarin from your time in China.”

Piers Morgan: “Herman Cain...stumbled about Libya - well he didn't appear to know what Libya was, let alone where it is.”

MSNBC contributor Melissa Harris-Perry: “I've been thinking a lot about Thanksgiving and the moment that we're in because, you know, our economic crisis right now is highly tied to the European economic crisis and so I was thinking about kind of what is that first Thanksgiving when these illegal immigrants from Europe come over and are fed by the people of the actual Americas, the Native and indigenous people, you know, here on this land, that they are trying to escape religious prosecution and persecution in Europe and then you have the Europeans basically calling them dirty, no good, worthless, basically 99 percenters, right? And all of that is now playing out in a different way as we see the 99 percent pushing back against this idea that the elites are the only one that deserve to have a Thanksgiving dinner. All of that.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews: "I think it is this audience - I think he knows who he is playing. He's very commercial, Rush is. But let me ask you about this. I don't think it was a dog whistle. I think it was a bugle call. Let's narrow this down to the politics, get away from the ethnicity. Working-class whites and the way they call it in the polling is `non-college whites.' He's going to have a problem with them, because in hard times - you know how prejudice rises during hard times - it's clear that he sees those people as angry and workable, Rush Limbaugh."

_______________________________________

Piers Morgan of Sarah Palin not contacting Mark Kelly about the shooting of Gabby Giffords, perpetuating the myth that Palin targeting certain voting districts led to the shooting of Ms. Giffords: `In her haste to take no responsibility, [she—Sarah Palin] didn't even bother to pick the phone up, to write, to do anything. I find that extraordinary.”

Mark Kelly, Gifford’s husband: “Yeah, I was surprised too. You know, certainly the targets that she put over Gabby's and other people's districts, in our opinion, was not the right thing to do. She is not the first person to do that. And it hasn't always been Republicans that have done that.” It does not matter to liberals whether some has been clearly shown to be false; they will perpetuate unreality as fact nevertheless. This is why we continue to vilify Joe McCarthy for finding communists under every bed and celebrate FDR as bringing us out of the Great Depression.

Here is the survey on which these stories were based:

Liberals from the past:

Joy Behar: Isn't it a little racist to call it Black Friday?

Whoopie Goldberg: Well, I would have called it African American Friday, but I feel that's taking something away from it.

Behar: But there's a negative connotation to it? Or does it mean something else?

Goldberg: No, it's like when you make all the money. You're in the black.

Behar: So it's positive?

Goldberg: Yeah. It's in the black, so it's a huge, great thing.

Behar: A lot of times, like blackmail is negative, black sheep.

Goldberg: Black people.

Vice President Joe Biden: “One of the early discussions we [Obama and Biden] had, in Chicago, in preparation for the administration, our transition team out there, we got together, I think it was 30, 35 economists, all left, right center, and what did we talk about? ...back then...we were on the phone calling Jon Corzine, literally. I literally picked up the phone and called Jon Corzine. And said, ‘Jon, what do you think we should do?’ The reason that we called Jon is, we knew that he knew about the economy, about world markets, about how we had to respond, almost unlike anyone else that we knew...and we trusted his judgement...and what we heard from Jon is what we needed to do, and what we needed to do was a serious economic recovery plan.” That very expensive economic recovery plan is believed to have worked by about 6% of the voting population. Jon Corzine recently resigned from MF Global, a huge company that went bankrupt, where there is anywhere from $600,000 to $1.2 billion of investor money unaccounted for.

Liberal civility:

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir: “But if anyone's dirty, it's Newt Gingrich -- a man whose personal morality has been drawn from the sewer, a man who pontificates about his Catholic faith and morality but repeatedly commits adultery.”

Mohammad Malik, CAIR member and Occupy Miami organizer, led chants saying: "Nuke Israel" and "Go back to the oven"

26-year-old Nathan Shafer to Gov. Nikki Haley on Facebook, after he heard about the arrests of 19 Occupy Columbia members outside the State House: "I hope someone murders you before I do. How's that for freedom of speech?"

Crazy Muslims:

Several speakers at an anti-Israel rally in Cairo: "one day we shall kill all the Jews" According to the article I read, this is a quote from the Koran.

CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor: "Last night, Rick Santorum casually tossed aside every American's constitutional right to equal protection under the law in favor of discriminatory profiling of Muslims. Mr. Santorum's obvious lack of appreciation for the Constitution and for the rejection of profiling by top law enforcement experts raises reasonable questions about his ability to lead our multi-faith nation...We remind Mr. Santorum that the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), a man of Middle Eastern heritage, would fit his `profile.'"

Liberals making sense:

ACORN founder Wade Rathke:, "...in no way has it [the Occupy movement] had the political impact that the tea party movement has."

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta: "If Congress fails to act over the next year, the Department of Defense will face devastating, automatic, across-the-board cuts that will tear a seam in the nation's defense...The half-trillion in additional cuts demanded by sequester would lead to a hollow force incapable of sustaining the missions it is assigned."

Moderates/Affiliation Unknown:

An unnamed longtime Washington editor, about “reporter” Ezra Klein briefing top Democrats: "I have never heard of a reporter briefing staffers. It's supposed to be the other way around. This arrangement seems highly unusual."

Crosstalk:

Michael Gerson, Washington Post: It's a serious point. The budget process that was designed in 1974 was designed for presidential leadership. The Congress reacts to the president's priorities. If you look at past budget deals, whether Reagan or Bush One or Clinton, these were active presidents. You had to have an energetic executive to get a budget deal. And we've really had a power outage here, a president that alternates between indifference and being out of the country.

Cokie Roberts: Well, some of it was out of the country, to be fair, was dealing with foreign leaders and preset meetings.

Gerson: But he was not engaged in this process, and most Democrats on the Hill would tell you that as well.

Sam Donaldson: You've accurately, I believe, described what's happened in the past when budget deals were made between a president and another party on the Hill. This was different. This committee was set up by Congress, and expressly - you won't find it in the legislation - all of them said, "We want the President to butt out, we're going to take this. Don't have him come down here and try to tell us what to do."

_______________________________________

Christiane Amanpour, Host: What about this tone in the country right now? It's still very divisive. It's still very sort of brash, some say poisonous. I mean, you can barely get anything done on Capitol Hill, just behind me there. What needs to be done, to actually improve the tone and the ability of people to work together?

Former Secretary of State, Colin Powell: The tone is not -- is not good right now, and our political system here in Washington, particularly up on The Hill -- Congress -- has become very, very tense in that two sides, Republicans and Democrats, are focusing more and more on their extreme left and extreme right. And we have to come back toward the center in order to compromise...

Amanpour: I get your point about heat and light, but what about the fact that, in fact, it is one of the political parties, although -- or rather the big political influence, which is the Tea Party, which quotes left and right the Founding Fathers? They say compromise is a dirty word, and they try to point to the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.

Powell: They compromised -- the Founding Fathers compromised on slavery. They had to in order to create a country. They compromised on the composition of the Senate, of the House, of the Supreme Court, of a president -- what are the president's powers? Can you imagine more difficult compromises today? Compromise is how this country was founded, and unless two people in disagreement with each other don't find a way to reach out to one another and make compromises, you don't get a consensus that allows you to move forward. But the Tea Party point of view of no compromise whatsoever is not a point of view that will eventually produce a presidential candidate who will win.

Amanpour: General Powell, thank you very much indeed.

Powell: Thank you, dear.

In the entire interview, there was no discussion of the Occupy movement, of Democratic support for that movement, or of Obama’s continued attempt to pit the poor and middle class against the rich, time after time after time. I have not seen the entire interview yet, but was there any discussion of what the Republicans brought to the table and what the Democrats brought to the table in the Supercommittee talks?

_______________________________________

Paul Krugman: We have a long term deficit problem. And part of the problem is this got framed in terms of short-term austerity. And so actually, I'm celebrating the fact that this committee has not reached a agreement.

George Will: The Bowles-Simpson commission that the president called into existence and then ignored recommended a package that had 30 percent deficit reduction through new revenues and 70 percent straight cuts. The Toomey proposal was 24 percent through revenue and 76 percent through cats very similar to Bowles-Simpson and the Democrats ignored it.

Conservatives:

Republican candidate Newt Gingrich: "I already said that if he wants to use a teleprompter, then it would be fine with me. It has to be fair. If you [were] to defend ObamaCare, wouldn't you want a teleprompter? Now, just for a second I'm going to go in the detour and I'll try to explain why I've been and he'll say yes. There are two reasons. The first, is ego. Can you imagine him looking in the mirror? Graduate from Columbia, Harvard Law, editor of the Law Review journal. [Against] the greatest articulator in a Democratic book? How is he going to say that he's afraid to be on the same podium as a West Georgia College student?"

George Will, on gridlock in Washington: “This is a transaction cost of democracy. It's untidy, of course it is. That's supposed to be that way. The congress far from being dysfunctional is functioning as a representative institute representing a country that is of two minds about its government. ”

Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich: "I am for deporting all recent unattached illegals. I am for a local citizen panel to consider certification of those who have been here 25 years and have family and community and have been law-abiding and tax-paying."

Gingrich: “I am prepared to take the heat for saying, let’s be humane in enforcing the law.”

FoxNews contributor Rich Karlgaard: “Anything come out of the NLRB [the National Labor Relations Board] hurts jobs by definition.”

FoxNews contributor Valerie Barret: “We need jobs in this country, not unions.”

Matthew Vadum, a conservative investigative reporter, on the TEA party movement versus the occupy movement: "The only point upon which both agree is their hate of bailouts. But that's it. Zuccotti Park is a small park. The tea party attracted thousands and tens of thousands to their rallies; OWS attracts tens and maybe hundreds. When the tea party rally was over, the tea party left. OWS refuses to leave.”

Sign put up by Bill Looman, Georgia businessman: "New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone."

Rush Limbaugh: “Ladies and gentlemen, it's not often that we have guests on this program here at the EIB Network. But today, as it can often happen, we have an exception. And I am proud and I am honored and I want to introduce to the microphones of this program the first lady of the United States, Michelle Moochelle Obama.” The song “I Like Big Butts” by Sir Mix-a-Lot is then played, as a “theme” song.

Rush Limbaugh: "Every second- and third-tier Republican candidate gets an anal exam, a media anal exam. We know about their marriages. We know about their friends. We know about their enemies. We learn about their barmaids and their floozies. We know everything about their kids. We know about their grades. You name it, we're told everything that we want to know or don't want to know and more about every Republican."

Rush Limbaugh: "Is it any wonder that parents get a little worried when they send the little tykes off to school, because I'll tell you, folks, what's happening, especially in these blue states, what's happening in these public schools, the last thing going on is what we've all thought of as traditional education."

Rush Limbaugh: "The Obama strategy is to exacerbate the problem and then get together with the media and blame the Republicans for it."

Rush Limbaugh: "We can't go on this way. We cannot go on with half the country being paid by the other half of the country lifetime pensions, lifetime health care, when the people doing the paying don't have any of that themselves. It can't sustain itself, and it won't."

Rush Limbaugh: "Obama's killing factory jobs. He's killing every kind of job this country has. He's killing energy jobs. He's killing jobs for Boeing. He's killing retail jobs. He's investing in phony industries that do not create any jobs, slush funds, Solyndra."

Rush Limbaugh: "You compare Michele Bachmann's life experiences to Obama and how can it be said that she is not up to the job, after the job he has done wrecking this country? How can it be said that she or Herman Cain or any one of our candidates is not up to the job when the alternative is a one-man wrecking crew named Barack Obama?"

Rush Limbaugh: "The reason nobody's talking about spending cuts is because there aren't any."

Rush Limbaugh: "Folks, budgets don't get whacked in Washington. We actually need for some budgets to get whacked. That's what doesn't happen! There really never are genuine spending cuts. There are only reductions in the rate of growth or spending amounts that are less than projected, which then equals a cut from what was expected to be spent."

Rush Limbaugh: "Now, I'm telling you, when you have a bunch of people who study for three years and conclude that water does not solve dehydration, and then prevent water companies from advertising that water promotes a healthy hydrated lifestyle, I'm sorry. These are liberals. They're insane, they're stupid, they're crazy, whatever else you want to say, but it is important and it matters to understand and accept the ideology that makes these people do and believe this kind of absolutely insane thing."

Conservatives from the Past:

Milton Friedman: “In the long run government will spend whatever the tax system will raise, plus as much more as it can get away with.”

Conservatives not making any sense:

Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, considering a run as a third-party candidate: "I feel abandoned by the Republican Party."

Mitt Romney: "This may sound a little overconfident, but I honestly believe I'm the only guy on the stage who has a real good chance of defeating President Obama."

A Little Comedy Relief

Short Takes

1) When Rick Santorum spoke of using racial profiling at the airport, he should have also mentioned, looking at the Passport, and seeing where a person has been.

2) Liberals have a hard time taking a day off. Al Sharpton speaks of how thankful he is for the Occupy movement; Barack Obama gently reminds us that, even though this is a tough Thanksgiving, that we did not get into this mess overnight; and Planned Parenthood gives you a game plan of how to discuss abortion when you are at home with your family.

3) Obama has 3 great accomplishments under his belt: Obamacare, Dodd-Frank and the Stimulus. He has had others, but those are the biggies. So, why is no one out there running on that. Why isn’t Obama saying, “That Stimulus package? That was me. I can do more of that. Just reelect me.”

4) Although someone has said that this is the year of the endorsements, it may make little or difference. How many people will change their primary vote because Sarah Palin or Jim DeMint comes out in support of this or that candidate? What different did it make that New Jersey Governor came out in support of Mitt Romney; did his numbers change? Nope.

5) When Herman Cain blanked on Libya, I would have had a lot more respect for him, had he said, “I just blanked” rather than say he was formulating an answer. He blanked; he had a senior moment; and he should have just owned up to it.

6) Here is what liberals want, and every bill and every move is in this direction: a larger government (which, in the minds of the faithful, they equate to being a more benevolent government); more control over more of America’s capital; and power and money removed from the richest Americans (that they do not like).

By the Numbers

New CBO estimates downgrade Obama's $825 Stimulus program. The stimulus may have added as little as 0.7% to GDP growth in 2010 - when spending was at its peak - and created as few as 700,000 new jobs. That is, $1.2 million/job (and I think the estimation of new jobs is still far too high). The report lowered the best-case estimate for added growth in 2010 to 4.1% from 4.2%. The CBO now says it's possible that the stimulus had virtually no meaningful effect on growth and employment despite its massive price tag. The CBO also increased that price tag to $825 billion from its initial $787 billion - a 5% hike.

From George Will: the Supercommittee was charged with figuring out how to cut $1.2 trillion during a time period where Congress is projected to spend $44 trillion. They were unable to find and agree upon 3% worth of savings. Democrats believe that, the only way this can be done, is to get some of the money from the millionaires and billionaires. Could you cut 3% from your budget? Congress can’t.

Before the 60 Minutes special, the STOCK Act had 9 sponsors. A week after, it has 92 sponsors.

80% of "green" loans from the Obama administration Department of Energy went to companies connected to Barack Obama's fundraising machine.

After Mike Pence's legislation to federally defund Planned Parenthood passed the House, online gifts to Planned Parenthood reportedly surged by 500%.

Occupy arrests up to 4775.

18,050 terrorist attacks since 9/11.

A Little Bias

The New York Times has featured multiple stories and editorials about every gaff that Republican candidates have made. Finally, this past week, they mention Obama’s quote "President Obama had that famous thing where he once said I think there were 57 states." They characterize this as a famous flub. So famous that, the NY Times just got around to putting it into print this past week or so. All the news that’s fit to print—eventually.

Notice that the stories on the drone attack in Pakistan refer to it as a NATO drone attack. However, the drone attack which took out Bin Laden was a U.S. drone attack or an Obama-ordered drone attack. It sounds as if these drones are coming from two different places, doesn’t it?

From the Media Research Center:

□            By a 5-to-1 margin, ABC, CBS and NBC morning show hosts employed an adversarial liberal agenda when questioning this year's Republican candidates.

□            Four years ago, Democratic candidates faced questions that tilted more than two-to-one to the left, a far friendlier agenda for liberal politicians.

□            In 2007, Democratic candidates were frequently tossed softball questions. This year's interviews with Republicans have been much more caustic, with few chances for the candidates to project a warm and fuzzy image.

□            Four years ago, top Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Edwards were given massive donations of airtime by ABC in the form of "town hall" meetings on Good Morning America. None of this year's Republican contenders have been given a similar opportunity.

You will recall all of the ridiculous stories about all the hatred on the right which resulted in the shooting of Arizona Senator Gabby Giffords? The media and various commentators went on and on and on about Sarah Palin’s website where there were targets drawn over certain districts. Or do you recall that photograph of a TEA party member having a serious gun with him (a photo artfully cropped so that you could not see that this was a Black man, because, the template says, there are no Blacks at TEA parties because the

TEA party people are racist). So, an occupy type was just arrested for making a threat against conservative Governor Nikki Haley. So, you have been inundated with news stories about the Occupy hate language and how they may have contributed to what this idiot said? Of course not. That does not fit the template. Just turn this around. Find one mentally unbalanced TEA party attendee who threatens any liberal, and there would be stories, and round table discussions of this topic for the next week. This Occupy sympathizer? You might not even have heard about him.

Yay Democrats!

Total big thumbs up to Congressman Brian Baird of Washington, who has been pushing the Stock Act for some time now. As reported in previous weeks, Congressmen and Senators can pass legislation or expect legislation to be passed, the outcome of which will drive some stocks up or down. They will then go out to purchase or sell said stocks short, before there is any public knowledge of what is in the legislation. This is legal insider trading and the Stock Act would make it illegal. The STOCK Act was originally introduced in the 109^th session of the House of Representatives on Mar. 28, 2006 by Brian Baird (D-WA) and Louise Slaughter (D-NY).

Liberal-Speak

Dog-whistle [words, phrases] = hidden messages in speeches and political quotes which catch the ears of conservatives.

Questions for Obama

“Do you believe that additional revenue brought in by simultaneously removing tax loopholes and reducing tax rates is a reasonable way to increase revenue to the government?”

Political Chess

Since Obama cannot run on his record (the Stimulus Law, Obamacare or Dodd-Frank), he has to move the conversation away from his accomplishments to both attack his opponents and to present himself as a person who wants to help out the poor and the middle class. This was the whole purpose of the Supercommittee; there was no intent here to actually meet somewhere in the middle.

News Before it Happens

The STOCK Act, which has been dead in the water for the past 5 years, will be passed on a bipartisan vote probably before this year is out, and sure before 2012 is out.

Giving up Our Freedom, One Turkey at a Time

by Ben Shapiro

The first object of government, wrote James Madison in Federalist Paper No. 10, was to protect the American people from deep turkey fryers. Oh, wait. That was Janet Napolitano, who this week had her Department of Homeland Security release a two-minute video highlighting the incredible danger to Homeland Security posed by these kettles of horror. "We recently tested several models of deep fat turkey fryers," a bureaucratic-looking fellow wearing a hardhat tells the camera, "and find that this method of cooking can be very hazardous." A man-made disaster, if you will.

Undoubtedly, the American people must be protected from the scourge of misused turkey fryers. If we burn ourselves on Thanksgiving dinner, the terrorists will have won.

A people that believes its government's duties include warning them not to burn themselves on the fryer is a people that has lost the will to survive. We are now plagued with government-induced Perpetual Toddler Syndrome, in which we expect the government to protect us from ourselves. That's why the so-called Super Committee couldn't find $1.2 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years, despite the fact that in that same period, we will rack up another $10 trillion in additional debt. Babies are expensive. And today, we are all children.

Who, then, are the parents? The federal government, of course. Who should feed us? The feds. Clothe us? The feds. House us? The feds. Take care of our healthcare? The feds. As columnist Mark Steyn pointed out, it's no wonder that U.S. Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro, D-Conn., has proposed the Diaper Investment and Aid to Promote Economic Recovery (DIAPER) Act, which funnels federal cash to subsidize diaper buying for poor families. Now provided with the security of diapers, the American people can now feel free to fiscally crap themselves - and we are. Undoubtedly, the feds will soon create a blue-ribbon commission designed to hire posterior-wipers in order to stimulate the baby wipes industry. In fact, we could call it the WIPER Act: the Whining Imbeciles Petitioning for Endless Rewards Act.

There's only one problem with being a toddler: You are controlled from above. With endless bottom wiping, comes restrictions on everything from diet to education, from playtime to naptime.

And that's precisely where we're headed. If we're good - if we appease Mommy and Daddy Government - we get limited liberties, such as Obamacare waivers. If we're bad - if we insist, as Wall Street did, that we remain in charge of investment strategy - we are grounded. The tyranny of paternalism is tyranny nonetheless.

There are many in this country who are perfectly satisfied with a life of serfdom. They don't feel hemmed in by their swaddling blankets - they feel warm and safe. But there are those of us who still want to live free. We want to be adults, and we want the responsibilities of adulthood. It is we who have been deprived of our choice.

Here's the good news: At least we know now not to break Archimedes' principle of buoyancy while frying our turkeys. The rest of humanity picked that up in 212 B.C.E. If our educational system keeps this up, at this rate, we'll find ourselves back in the Stone Age attempting to literally recreate the wheel. Which, come to think of it, is a pretty dangerous mechanism. Do we have any regulators keeping an eye on those round demons?

In our topsy-turvy world, the left insists that those of us who want fewer taxes and services are the tyrants. The paternalism of the state has, counterintuitively, become "freedom."

A friend of mine recently proposed a fascinating thought experiment. Why not let everyone define his or her own tax code? If someone wants lots of services, let them pay for it with higher taxes. If someone wants to live without the comforting safety net that warns them of murderous fowl cookers, let them opt out of the tax burden. The outcome of the experiment is obvious. The right would buy into this proposal immediately. The left would protest. Why? Because the right doesn't need the left to subsidize its agenda; the left needs the right to subsidize its agenda.

Which means that if anything is to change, we will need to grow up. We will need to fight back against the Turkey-Frying-Warning crowd. The Department of Homeland Security is designed to ensure our security from enemies foreign and domestic, not to save us from the crime wave of red-hot poultry. We can fry our own damn turkeys, thank you very much.

The Media Re-Writes History

Posted by John Nolte on BigGovernment

Occupy Wall Street's imploding, Obama and the Democrats own the chaos, and now the AP is panicking.

 But first a little context.

Something happened this month that the mainstream media and the Left (but I repeat myself) never expected. Two months ago, the White House, Democrats, and the MSM were all sure that the #OccupyWallStreet movement would save them in 2012. With thousands of astro-turfed morons in the streets raging against Wall Street, Obama's allies hoped to use said morons to create a silver lining in the economic cloud he himself created.

The plan was a simple one. The path to Obama's second term requires that enough voters forget that our current economic woes are the fault of a failed President who enjoyed two years of having every single item on his wish-list passed by Congress. And so the idea was to create Occupy in order to give the MSM the cover they desired to spend every single day up until the election talking about greed and income inequality in order to blame both for the stagnant economy.

The hope was that by repeating this message incessantly, enough voters could be convinced that Wall Street, and by extension, evil Republicans, were to blame for our chronic unemployment, record deficits, and stillborn economic growth. President Obama who?

Fortunately for America, this plan has not only failed miserably it has backfired completely. Thanks to the rise of New Media and our unwillingness to let the MSM's lies, bias, and cover ups stand for even one more day, Occupy is in its death throes and might take the President and Democratic party down with it. First and

foremost, we uncovered the lie that Occupy was grassroots and then we exposed every Occupy rape, poop, death, overdoese, old woman thrown down the stairs, attack on a police officer, and public act of masturbation. In the process, public opinion turned against the Occupiers and as a result these Leftists have started doing what the Left always does when they lose, have a tantrum.

But like I said, the Left and their media allies didn't expect New Media to own this story and to use the truth to drive the narrative out of their control. And we know they didn't expect to lose this one because almost every prominent Democrat in America very publicly jumped aboard the Occupy movement with the expectation that their allies in the MSM could control the outcome.

Well, now Democrats like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are way out on a limb and have been caught in bed encouraging, endorsing, and attempting to legitimize a wildly unpopular movement most voters now find repulsive.

So what's a shameless left-wing media to do?

What they always do. Rewrite history.

And it looks as thought the Associated Press has decided to start the memory-holing with the following:

[Emphasis mine]

Insert record scratch here.

Sorry AP, but the only reason Democrats see a minefield is because they're standing in it.

Democrats such as.

Need I go on?

When the AP matter-of-factly (the most effective way to propagandize) states that this natural alliance "hasn't happened" . they are lying. The alliance between Occupy and prominent Democrats occurred weeks ago and as one honest Democrat, Doug Schoen, put it just today:

But is it really bad news for Democrats when they have the corrupt MSM already out there shilling for them and pretending this solidarity never happened?

Well, maybe it is. If the slow motion implosion of Occupy has taught us anything it's that the MSM doesn't have the power it once had to control the narrative. New Media won this one and maybe New Media can can also win the battle of reminding voters of just who it was who ran out to endorse, encourage, and attempt to legitimize vandals, poopers, rapists, and public masturbators.

Lincoln’s 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.

In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.

Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.

Will Republicans Blow It?

By Thomas Sowell

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catch phrase could stop thinking for 50 years. One of the often-repeated catch phrases of our time - "It's the economy, stupid!" - has already stopped thinking in some quarters for a couple of decades.

There is no question that the state of the economy can affect elections. But there is also no iron law that all elections will be decided by the state of the economy.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt was re-elected for an unprecedented third term after two terms in which unemployment was in double digits for eight consecutive years.

We may lament the number of people who are unemployed or who are on food stamps today. But those who give the Obama administration credit for coming to their rescue when they didn't have a job are likely to greatly outnumber those who blame the administration for their not having a job in the first place.

An expansion of the welfare state in hard times seems to have been the secret of FDR's great political success in the midst of economic disaster. An economic study published in a scholarly journal in 2004 concluded that the Roosevelt administration's policies prolonged the Great Depression by several years. But few people read economic studies.

This economy has been sputtering along through most of the Obama administration, with the unemployment rate hovering around 9 percent. But none of that means that Barack Obama is going to lose the 2012 election.

Even polls which show "any Republican" with more public support than Obama does not mean that Obama will lose.

The president is not going to run against "any Republican." He is going to run against some specific Republican, and that Republican can expect to be attacked, denounced and denigrated for months on end before the November 2012 elections - not only by the Democrats, but also by the media that is heavily pro-Democrat.

We have already seen how unsubstantiated allegations from women with questionable histories have dropped Herman Cain from front runner to third place in just a couple of weeks.

In short, it takes a candidate to beat a candidate, and everything depends on what kind of candidate that is.

The smart money inside the Beltway says that the Republicans need to pick a moderate candidate who can appeal to independent voters, not just to the conservative voters who turn out to vote in Republican primaries. Those who think this way say that you have to "reach out" to Hispanics, the elderly and other constituencies.

What is remarkable is how seldom the smart money folks look at what has actually been happening in presidential elections.

Ronald Reagan won two landslide elections when he ran as Ronald Reagan. Vice President George H.W. Bush then won when he ran as if he were another Ronald Reagan, with his famous statement, "Read my lips, no new taxes."

But after Bush 41 was elected and turned "kinder and gentler" - to everyone except the taxpayers - he lost to an unknown governor from a small state.

Other Republican presidential candidates who went the "moderate" route - Bob Dole and John McCain - also came across as neither fish nor fowl, and also went down to defeat.

Now the smart money inside the Beltway is saying that Mitt Romney, who is nothing if not versatile in his positions, is the Republicans' best hope for replacing Obama.

If conservative Republicans split their votes among a number of conservative candidates in the primaries, that can mean ending up with a presidential candidate in the Bob Dole-John McCain mold - and risking a Bob Dole-John McCain result in the next election.

The question now is whether the conservative Republican candidates who have enjoyed their successive and short-lived boomlets - Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain - are prepared to stay in the primary race to the bitter end, or whether their conservative principles will move them to withdraw and throw their support to another conservative candidate.

There has probably never been a time in the history of this country when we more urgently needed to get a president out of the White House, before he ruined the country. But will the conservative Republican candidates let that guide them?

Failure or Success?

By Thomas Sowell

Many people are lamenting the failure of the Congressional "Super Committee" to come up with an agreement on ways to reduce the runaway federal deficits. But you cannot judge success or failure without knowing what the goal was.

If you think the goal was to solve the country's fiscal crisis, then obviously the Super Committee was a complete failure. But, if you think the goal was to improve the chances of the Obama administration being re-elected in 2012, it was a complete success.

Imagine that there had been no Super Committee in the first place. Who would be blamed for the country's fiscal crisis? The overwhelmingly Democratic Congress that voted to spend the money which increased the deficits more during the Obama administration than in the eight years of George W. Bush.

When the Obama administration's massive spending spree was going on, Republicans were so hopelessly outnumbered in both houses of Congress that nothing that the Congressional Republicans could say or do would have the slightest effect.

Even the cleverest political spin-master would have a hard time trying to keep blame from falling on the Obama administration, without the later shift of attention to the debt crisis.

Two things got the blame shifted. The first was the national debt ceiling, which had to be raised, if politicians were not going to be forced to either cut existing programs or shut down the government - neither of which was politically attractive.

By the time a vote on raising the national debt ceiling was required, Republicans had gotten control of the House of Representatives. This meant that the national debt issue was now a bipartisan issue, whereas the spending that drove the national debt up to that national debt ceiling had been a problem strictly for the Democrats.

Splitting the blame with the Republicans for what Democrats alone had done was a political victory, in terms of making the Obama administration less vulnerable at the polls in 2012.

With the help of the media, the big issue was no longer the big spending that drove the national debt up to the legal ceiling, but the failure of the Republicans to help solve the debt ceiling crisis.

Many people lamented the failure of President Obama to become engaged in the process of working out a solution to the fiscal crisis, and regarded that as a failing. But, again, success or failure depends on what goal you are trying to achieve.

If the goal was to reach a bipartisan solution to the country's fiscal crisis, then the president's involvement might have increased the chances of doing that. But, if the goal was to outsource the blame, then the president's fading away into the background was the perfect political ploy.

Appointing a bipartisan Super Committee with dramatic powers, and apparently dramatic consequences if they failed to reach agreement, created another long distraction in the media that took the president further out of the picture. When it came to media coverage of the country's financial crisis, it was almost a question of "Barack Who?"

The draconian spending cuts that were supposed to hang over the heads of the members of the Super Committee, like a sword of Damocles, turned out to be a cardboard sword when the inevitable failure to reach an agreement occurred.

A new Congress meets before these draconian cuts are supposed to happen - and no Congress can be forced to do anything by a previous Congress. So all this turned out to be a grand charade - and politicians are great at charades.

This one was a complete political success, because we are now talking about who is to blame for not coming up with a way of solving the fiscal crisis, rather than who did the runaway spending that caused that crisis in the first place.

An even longer-running charade is the budget-cutting charade, where big spenders promise to make spending cuts to match tax increases - or even to exceed tax increases. Of course the tax increases come first and the spending cuts are spread out into the future - and usually end up not taking place at all.

This particular charade could be ended by making the spending cuts take place first. But that would spoil the political game.

"Candidate A, What's Your Preferred Country to Borrow Money from to Spend for That?"

RUSH: Here's Gary in Yorba Linda, California. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.

CALLER: Hey, Rush.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: I wanted to remind you about a guy who years ago you used to speak affectionately about, a guy whose nickname was "Chainsaw Al." I don't remember what his real name was.

RUSH: Oh, yeah! It was Al Dunlap, Chainsaw Al. He worked at Sunbeam and such. He had a reputation for saving companies by going in and firing half the employees.

CALLER: Well, he would take out the proverbial chainsaw and cut out fat, redundancy, inefficiency, in companies and turn 'em around into profitability. Who's the guy that's gonna do that in this government, Rush?

RUSH: Well, that's what we were just talking about. You know, it really boils down to how many candidates think that's what's necessary. I said yesterday that what ought to be topic for discussion in one of these debates is: "How are we going to reduce this debt? How are we going to reduce this spending?" and not around the margins. We're gonna actually have to genuinely reduce the size of this government. "So what are your ideas, Candidate A? Which agencies are you gonna just wipe out? We can't go on as we are; we don't have the money." You know, all this discussion last night about foreign aid -- or forget foreign aid!

Any discussion last night that involved spending money, every time it came up, I looked at the screen, the television, and my mouth fell open. I said, "We don't have any money to be giving people! We don't have any money to spend on foreign aid. We don't have this money to give to anybody. Why are we still talking about this? Why isn't somebody saying, as part of the answer to this proposed foreign aid question, "Uhhhhh, duh? We don't have any money? We are borrowing practically everything we spend!" We spend, what, close to $1.8 trillion more than we take in every year. We just had to raise the debt ceiling twice this year. We're up to $17 trillion in debt, for real, on paper. We're not there yet, but we're gonna get there by January; that was the whole deal. And they had a discussion about foreign aid and giving this country money and that country money? Where are we getting the money? We don't have it! I do think that this needs to a subject on one of these upcoming debates, because it's the central question about which we are all concerned for the future of the country.

RUSH: I have an excellent question for the next debate. If I could submit a question. Whenever they start talking about spending money, I don't care whether foreign aid or whatever, my question is, which country do you choose to borrow the money from? What is your preferred country, Candidate A, to borrow the money from to send foreign aid to wherever you want to send it or whatever expenditure, I don't mean to be focusing just on foreign aid here. Any expenditure of money. Even last night these guys talked about money as though it's not a problem. They talked about spending money as though it's not a problem. There were exceptions for it in the debate, but it really is the elephant in the room to me.

When you're looking at a $17 trillion national debt and annual deficit of $1.8 trillion, a stupid super committee that can't -- well, forget the super committee. How about these bogus efforts before the super committee where we were told we're gonna save hundred billion dollars, which we borrow that every five days, or less. And it turns out the hundred billion is ten billion. And they're patting themselves on the back, and that's over ten years. Then you realize with baseline budgeting there is no reduction in spending, period, and there aren't any cuts. There might be reductions in spending but there aren't any cuts. It's just reductions in the rate of growth. So which country, Mr. Candidate, do you want to borrow the money from in order spend on that project?

The Real Story of Thanksgiving

RUSH: Now time for a tradition, an annual tradition, and that is The Real Story of Thanksgiving from my book that I wrote back in the early nineties. I wrote two of them, actually. In one of the books I wrote, The Real Story of Thanksgiving. And reading from it has become something we do every year on the program because it's still not taught. The myth of Thanksgiving is still what is taught, and that myth is basically that a bunch of thieves from Europe arrived quite by accident at Plymouth Rock, and if it weren't for the Indians showing them how to grow corn and slaughter turkeys and how to swallow and stuff, that they would have died of starvation and so forth. The Indians were great -- and then, in a total show of appreciation, we totally wiped out the Indians!

We took their country from 'em. We started racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia; spread syphilis; and, basically, destroyed the environment. That is the multicultural version of Thanksgiving, and it simply isn't true. The real version of Thanksgiving is in my second best-seller, 2.5 million copies in hardback: See, I Told You So. "Chapter 6, Dead White Guys, or What the History Books Never Told You: The True Story of Thanksgiving -- The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part of the seventeenth century ... The Church of England under King James I was persecuting anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority. Those who challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs." In England.

So, "A group of separatists first fled to Holland and established a community. After eleven years, about forty of them agreed to make a perilous journey to the New World, where they would certainly face hardships, but could live and worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences. On August 1, 1620, the Mayflower set sail. It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs. Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from? From the Bible. The Pilgrims were a people completely steeped in the lessons of the Old and New Testaments. They looked to the ancient Israelites for their example.

"And, because of the biblical precedents set forth in Scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work. But this was no pleasure cruise, friends. The journey to the New World was a long and arduous one. And when the Pilgrims landed in New England in November, they found -- according to Bradford's detailed journal -- a cold, barren, desolate wilderness." The New York Jets had just lost to the Patriots. "There were no friends to greet them, he wrote." I just threw that in about the Jets and Patriots. "There were no houses to shelter them. There were no inns where they could refresh themselves. And the sacrifice they had made for freedom was just beginning. During the first winter, half the Pilgrims -- including Bradford's own wife -- died of either starvation, sickness or exposure. When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn, fish for cod and skin beavers for coats.

"Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did not yet prosper! This is important to understand because this is where modern American history lessons often end. Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives, rather than as a devout expression of gratitude grounded in the tradition of" the Bible, "both the Old and New Testaments. Here is the part that has been omitted: The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their merchant-sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store, and each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well." Everything belonged to everybody. "They were going to distribute it equally. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well.

"Nobody owned anything." It was a forerunner of Occupy Wall Street. Seriously. "They just had a share in it," but nobody owned anything. "It was a commune, folks." The original pilgrim settlement was a commune. "It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in the '60s and '70s out in California," and Occupy Wall Street, "and it was complete with organic vegetables, by the way." There's no question they were organic vegetables. What else could they be? "Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as that first harsh winter, which had taken so many lives. He decided to take bold action. Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage," as they saw fit, and, "thus turning loose the power of the marketplace. That's right. Long before Karl Marx was even born, the Pilgrims had discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism.

"And what happened? It didn't work!" They nearly starved! "It never has worked! What Bradford and his community found was that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else, unless they could utilize the power of personal motivation! But while most of the rest of the world has been experimenting with socialism for well over a hundred years -- trying to refine it, perfect it, and re-invent it -- the Pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently. What Bradford wrote about this social experiment should be in every schoolchild's history lesson. If it were, we might prevent much needless suffering in the future." If it were, there wouldn't be any Occupy Wall Street. There wouldn't be any romance for it.

"The experience that we had in this common course and condition,'" Bradford wrote. "'The experience that we had in this common course and condition tried sundry years...that by taking away property, and bringing community into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing -- as if they were wiser than God,' Bradford wrote." This was his way of saying, it didn't work, we thought we were smarter than everybody, everybody was gonna share equally, nobody was gonna have anything more than anything else, it was gonna be hunky-dory, kumbaya. Except it doesn't work. Because of half of them didn't work, maybe more. They depended on the others to do all the work. There was no incentive.

"'For this community [so far as it was] was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense,'" without being paid for it, "'that was thought injustice.'" They figured it out real quick. Half the community is not working -- living off the other half, that is. Resentment built. Why should you work for other people when you can't work for yourself? that's what he was saying. So the Pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive. So what did Bradford's community try next? They unharnessed the power of good old free enterprise by invoking the under-girding capitalistic principle of private property.

"Every family was assigned its own plot of land to work and permitted to market its own crops and products. And what was the result? 'This had very good success,' wrote Bradford, 'for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.' ... Is it possible that supply-side economics could have existed before the 1980s? Yes," it did. "Now, this is where it gets really good, folks, if you're laboring under the misconception that I was, as I was taught in school. So they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians." This is what happened. After everybody had their own plot of land and were allowed to market it and develop it as they saw fit and got to keep what they produced, bounty, plenty resulted.

"And then they set up trading posts, stores. They exchanged goods with and sold the Indians things. Good old-fashioned commerce. They sold stuff. And there were profits because they were screwing the Indians with the price. I'm just throwing that in. No, there were profits, and, "The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London." The Canarsie tribe showed up and they paid double, which is what made the Canarsie tribe screw us in the "Manna-hatin" deal years later. (I just threw that in.) They paid off the merchant sponsors back in London with their profits, they were selling goods and services to the Indians. "[T]he success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans," what was barren was now productive, "and began what came to be known as the 'Great Puritan Migration.'

But this story stops when the Indians taught the newly arrived suffering-in-socialism Pilgrims how to plant corn and fish for cod. That's where the original Thanksgiving story stops, and the story basically doesn't even begin there. The real story of Thanksgiving is William Bradford giving thanks to God," the pilgrims giving thanks to God, "for the guidance and the inspiration to set up a thriving colony," for surviving the trip, for surviving the experience and prospering in it. "The bounty was shared with the Indians." That's the story. "They did sit down" and they did have free-range turkey and organic vegetables. There were no trans fats, "but it was not the Indians who saved the day. It was capitalism and Scripture which saved the day," as acknowledged by George Washington in his first Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789, which I also have here.

RUSH: I want to quickly tell you about one passenger on the Mayflower, a guy named Francis Eaton. He was a carpenter. He was not one of the Pilgrims. He was another passenger. He was a carpenter. He died in 1633, 13 years after they landed at Plymouth, and here's what he left in his will: "One cow, one calf, two hogs, 50 bushels of corn, a black suit, a white hat, a black hat, boots, saws, hammers, square augers, a chisel, fishing lead, and some kitchen items" and his season tickets for the Redskins-Cowboys game. No, no, seriously. This is the estate of one of the men who probably built many of the houses for the first settlers. Very modest. But it shows what he saw as wealth back then. By the way, the life expectancy back then was not much. Not compared to today. And just remember, they were not eating trans fats, and they didn't live as long as we do today.

Obama Sees America as an Immoral Nation

RUSH: This is Tim in Louisville. Great to have you on the program, Tim. Hello, sir.

CALLER: NASCAR dittos from the derby city, Rush.

RUSH: Well, thank you. Great to have you here.

CALLER: I need you to untie the other half of your brain because we're in .6% territory right now. You're misreading the president's intentions. He sees himself as a champion of the disenfranchised populace in the inner cities. If you think about his history, he graduated from Harvard, a liberal bastion, and he spent the majority his career working in the inner city of Chicago where there's an entire permanent welfare underclass.

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: He believes that the government in general and the social order in particular is leaving these people behind.

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: That is the real mission of his presidency. Everything he does --

RUSH: Well, how is that working out? How is that working out?

CALLER: It's something that you'd have to look further down the road to see --

RUSH: No, I don't need to look down the road. Government can't bring people along. The Democrat Party, if you want to see government bringing people along, you take a look at what the Democrat Party's done to the black family. You take a look at any constituency group of the Democrat Party that started out poor. They are poorer than when the Democrats began to help 'em. Look what they have done to the schools. Look at what they have done to every institution they claim to want to help. The only people who are making out in the Democrat Party are the unions. The only people who are making out are elected Democrats and the Kennedy family and other high-wealth Democrat individuals like Nancy Pelosi. But the people the Democrat Party has told, "We care about you. We're the only ones that care about you. We're bringing you along." They're losing ground; they're getting poorer; they're getting hungrier; they're getting thirstier; they're getting angrier because it's an empty promise.

The Democrat Party can't bring anybody along. Government can't bring anybody along. But, you know, I don't disagree with you totally. You are closer to being right than you know when you say that Obama has looked and he has seen the people left behind. That's not what he sees. What he sees is a country of immorality. Obama sees a nation that has not gotten beyond its slavery past. He sees a nation that has not gotten beyond its immorality, its racism, its sexism, its bigotry and homophobia. He looks at this country and he's got a chip on his shoulder. When he goes around the world and apologizes for this country, it's because he thinks this country's guilty, this country needs to be cut down a size or two.

This country needs to find out what it's like to be a different country than the rest of the world. He believes this country's greatness has not come from our people; he believes this country's greatness has come from theft. We have stolen oil; we have stolen resources; we have stolen people; we have stolen land; we've stolen everything to be great. None of it was ours. It's about time we paid the price. So he's knocking us down a peg or two. We are gonna find out what it's like to be a victim of the United States. That's what he and his wife view as their mission. Now, you got close to describing it correctly but you got the motivation wrong. I'm glad you called.

RUSH: Now, our previous caller, as I said, he was not totally wrong; he's just got Obama's motivations factored a little incorrectly. Obama went to New Hampshire today, and he got heckled, but he said something. These were Occupy people who heckled him. Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Whatever this Occupy bunch was. Here's Obama's full quote to them when they shut down and they stopped heckling him. Obama said to them, "Families like yours, young people like the ones here today -- including the ones who were just chanting at me -- you're the reason that I ran for office in the first place." I kid you not. You sit out there and laugh at it, but he has embraced the Occupy movement.

This is what the caller was saying. These are the people left behind. Obama believes this country institutionally creates people like this. Those people -- those lazy, slovenly losers -- are only losers because America is unfair. It's not because they have anything to do with it, not because they may not work, not because they may not try very hard, not because they had been ill-educated themselves. No, it's America's fault, and they are the reason he ran for office. Fine. Well, what's he done for 'em? He wants them to think that they're not gonna have to pay their student loans.

He wants them to think they're never gonna have to pay for a house. He wants them to think they're never gonna have to pay for a car. And that's why he wants them to vote for him. And then he has the audacity, in the same speech, to talk about the American dream -- the American dream being you work hard and you will be rewarded? And here he is embracing a bunch of losers? The last thing they want to do is work, and they are the reason he ran? Listen to what he says, folks. There are times that the left slips up, and they tell you exactly who they are, what they are, what they gonna do. You just have to have the courage to listen to 'em.

This is Your Typical Obama Voter

RUSH: Modesto, California. Hi, Vincent. Great to have you on the program. Hello.

CALLER: Yeah, Rush, how you doing?

RUSH: Very good, sir. Thank you very much.

CALLER: First-time caller. Now, about President Obama.

RUSH: Okay.

CALLER: Okay.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Now, what I see what he's doing, you know, I think he's trying the best he can, you know. And --

RUSH: At doing what?

CALLER: He's got a lot on his plate there.

RUSH: What's he trying to do?

CALLER: Well, he's trying to create jobs --

RUSH: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: -- and trying his best to create jobs and trying to, you know --

RUSH: How is that working out?

CALLER: -- put down the percentage of the unemployment rate.

RUSH: Well, how's that working out, though?

CALLER: Okay.

RUSH: We don't expect effort from presidents. We expect accomplishment.

CALLER: People are getting jobs right and left right now.

RUSH: People --

CALLER: People are getting jobs.

RUSH: Oh. Really?

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: They are?

CALLER: Yes, they are.

RUSH: Did you see one?

CALLER: Huh?

RUSH: Did you see one get a job? Did you see somebody get a job?

CALLER: Yes, I did.

RUSH: Where?

CALLER: Right here in Modesto, where I live.

RUSH: What was the job?

CALLER: Well, different jobs, different factory jobs and --

RUSH: Oh, you've seen people getting more than one?

CALLER: Yes, I did.

RUSH: More than one job?

CALLER: Huh?

RUSH: You've seen more than one person get a job?

CALLER: Yes, I did.

RUSH: Well, hot damn.

CALLER: And I think Obama --

RUSH: And he made it happen?

CALLER: He made it happen.

RUSH: Really?

CALLER: Yeah. You were saying earlier that people are crying for a leader, everybody's looking for a leader. Okay, but why you have to cry for a leader? We already got one.

RUSH: Well, yeah, you know, maybe people don't think that we do have --

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: You gotta allow for people being stupid. Some people may not think we've got a leader.

CALLER: Well, I know for a fact we do have a leader.

RUSH: I know. You've seen some jobs --

CALLER: I've seen some jobs.

RUSH: -- created. Factory jobs you said they were?

CALLER: Yeah, factory jobs.

RUSH: In Modesto?

CALLER: Restaurant jobs, and --

RUSH: Like what kind of work? What kind of work?

CALLER: Like what I just told you, factory jobs --

RUSH: Yeah, but what kind of factory, what kind of job, what work at the factory? What factory?

CALLER: What factory? Well, let's see. Target.

RUSH: Target factory?

CALLER: Walmart.

RUSH: Walmart factory.

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: All right.

CALLER: Then they just created some new jobs --

RUSH: In the Walmart factory and --

CALLER: Yeah, right.

RUSH: -- the Target factory?

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: In Modesto.

CALLER: In Modesto.

RUSH: Okay.

CALLER: And in Stockton and Manteca, wherever.

RUSH: Oh, wow, Stockton, too?

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: Wow, okay. I want to do a Google search, Google Earth, I want to find the Walmart factory in Modesto. Get on that for me, Snerdley.

RUSH: I meant to ask our last caller the guy's name who Obama got a job at the Target factory, or maybe it was the Walmart factory. I forget which. He said both. But I shoulda asked the guy's name. The guy who got the job. I'd like to talk to him, find out exactly what Obama did. Did he go do the interview for him? What did he do?

RUSH: I got some e-mails. People want to know what do they make at the Target factory in Modesto. They make targets. We looked it up. Somebody said, "What do they make at the Walmart factory in Modesto?" They make walls. We looked it up.

Telephone number, 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.

Now, we're sitting here laughing, but, folks, that caller represents millions of people. The caller represents millions of people. Every job created or filled is due to Obama. Every job lost or position eliminated is due to Bush, the rich, lazy Americans, Wall Street, what have you. This is the argument that Obama's feeding his followers. It's what they end up believing. This guy called up here in pure defiance. He was not trying to be funny. This guy genuinely believes it, I'm telling you, if you read the left-wing blogs, if you read the Obama-inspired websites, that's what you're going to see, that Obama is creating all these jobs. That's what these websites see. And Obama's trying to fix and replace all the jobs that Bush lost. That's what his followers see. That's what they believe.

This guy calling me from Modesto, he thought he was gonna get me over the barrel. He thought he knew something I didn't know. He thought he was catching me in a misrepresentation of fact. He thought he was catching me in a lie. He thought that he was gonna tell me something that was gonna totally confuse me. He really believes it. This is what Obama and the boys have got their followers believing. And they're not just the scattered few out there. They are plentiful. There are a lot of them out there. That caller is a success story for the Democrats. The Democrats listening to this program hearing that caller, they're happy. That guy gets it, and they're not worried at all that I'm gonna change the guy's thinking. That guy's totally devoted and loyal to Obama. He's a product of the Democrat media machine. We had fun with it, 'cause what else could you do?

But I'm telling you, there are millions out there like that. (interruption) Well, you mean the Occupy kids? Oh. Well, you know, I've had that story in this stack for the longest time and I haven't gotten to it, about how the youth have abandoned Obama. He's no longer The Messiah to 'em. That's true. The Messiah aspect of the regime is gone. That whole Magical Mystery Tour thing that was Obama is gone. But, you know, you look at the Occupy groups and you look at what their encampments become. These people, you know, we sit here and we marvel at what we think is their stupidity or their ignorance or what have you. But it's real. It's real. They actually believe that everybody could do nothing and there would still be iPhones. And there would still be computers. And there would still be phone networks and cellular networks to log into to get information.

That stuff somehow just happens. And if anybody makes a profit on it, then they are the enemy. That stuff should happen for everybody. There ought not be any profit, but you see where civilization goes, you see what happens when encampments or populations of these people get together. It descends into not just anarchy, I mean these occupy encampments really are filth personified. It's pathetic what happens and this is who they really are. That's how they think everybody should live. I think the intellectual leaders of this movement, I genuinely believe this, I know I'm gonna get a lot of people disagreeing with me on this. But I really think that the intellectual left, like the Obama people, for example, who've never worked in the private sector, who have never created a job, have never started something from scratch, and thus don't know how to do it, I think they really do believe, after years and years and years of just sitting around, talking about it in the faculty lounge or wherever, that if they got a chance they could do it so much better.

So here they are. They finally got their chance to do it. Run the car companies, whatever else they run as part of the regime, and look, everything is going to hell in a handbasket. And they're genuinely surprised. Some of these true believers are genuinely surprised. They believe all along the Soviet Union did not fail because of its own immorality, its own corruption. It failed because the wrong people didn't have enough money. But if the right people had been there with the right amount of money, why, it would have been nirvana, it would have been utopia. That's how they look at themselves and Obama's presidency. So they look at what happens when something they fervently believe in, Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Oakland or whatever, when it descends to the lowest common denominator base human level, they're genuinely shocked. I think they are genuinely surprised.

I think it puzzles them and they struggle to explain it because it's not supposed to be. These Occupy encampments are the epitome of everything they believe. Everybody is equal, nobody produces anything, and nobody's exploiting anybody. There is ostensibly fair and equal redistribution of everything that's there. But look how quickly it was corrupted. Once it was learned that freebies were there every reprobate in town within ten miles gravitated to the place, wanting something to eat. And the Occupied's own chefs decided, "To hell with you, you're not part of our group." What happened to fairness and equal redistribution? "Well, they're not part of us, we can't." Amazing how it all breaks down so quickly and so fast.

This is the stuff that community organizers teach, and they teach it as utopia, nirvana, panacea, what have you. It's amazing. It never works. And I really think that a number of these people, particularly the so-called intellectuals in academia, I think they're genuinely surprised when it falls apart. I think they're stunned. I really do. I think they cannot believe that Obama's stimulus package didn't create a lot of jobs. No, I'm serious. I know that some of them don't know that that money was just a slush fund, they don't know that that money was to prop up union workers who pay dues and send the money back to Democrat Party. They really, true believers, thought that this was how you create jobs, good jobs, fair jobs for everybody. The government doesn't.

I think they're genuinely shocked and stunned when it doesn't work, including some of the teachers. The Elizabeth Warrens of the world. I think they're genuinely stunned when it falls apart. So then they start hustling around trying to find an explanation for it. And their explanation's always going to focus on the flaws of the people who are actually living it. Not the theory. The theory never fails. Liberalism cannot be allowed to fail. Socialism cannot be allowed to fail. So something else must be blamed when it doesn't work. In Obama's case the fallback is blame Bush; blame your predecessors; the problem's worse than we even knew.

RUSH: Here is Monte in Modesto, California. Hi, Monte.

CALLER: I just wanted to tell you about all the jobs being created in Modesto. The Sunday Modesto Bee tells about a company that went out of business in Modesto, pretty large place that is being systematically stripped of everything in the building, including support beams, part of the building has collapsed.

RUSH: Wait a second.

CALLER: The police can't do anything about it because they are protected by law. So these thieves do this in broad daylight, have the wives and girlfriends bring 'em lunch just like a regular job and nobody is doing anything about it.

RUSH: Wait a minute, Monte, you're telling me that thieves are stripping the factories in Modesto? This guy says that he knows a guy who got a job there.

CALLER: It's in the Sunday paper. We've had to close down city parks --

RUSH: Wait a minute. Was the guy who got the job in the factory in the paper?

CALLER: That Walmart job was probably stripping walls at this factory.

RUSH: Oh. A-ha. A-ha. All right. All right, thanks, Monte. I appreciate it. Well, we try to get perspective on all this.

RUSH: The unemployment rate in Modesto, California, 15.1%. This is according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that counts, the 15.1% counts the two guys, one that got the job at the Walmart factory building walls, and the other at the Target factory making targets. No, I don't know targets on what, I just know that that's what they make at the Target factory. It's still 15.1% in Modesto.
