12612/Obama Radical Tactic Sparks Outrage, Alienating Republicans By Using Facts

12612/critics are calling the most radial tactic ever employed in a State of the
Union Address, Obama Risks Alienating Republicans By Using Facts Radical Tactic
Sparks Outrage last night by repeatedly using facts. relentless references, all
long considered the third rail of American politics.sixteen separate mentions of
Osama bin Laden, congressional Republicans’ blood began to boil. Mitch McConnell
told reporters, “It’s been a longstanding tradition in our politics not to use
facts in a State of the Union Address, I won’t stand for it and the American
people won’t stand for it.” Boehner. “But he’s going to have to take facts off the
table. That’s a deal-breaker for us/Gingrich, You have constant pressure by
secular judges and by religious bigots to drive Christianity out of public life
and to establish a secular state except when it comes to radical Islam/must have
bought test answers from his frat bros. He failed to get tenure at a a rural
directional school that churned out Jr High football coaches and cow birthers.
Newt was a FAILED historian /hailed by RWers as smart, he sure is all confused
about reality. an insane sociopath. He's certainly got a majority of these
symptoms/maybe he is intending to unabashedly play up to the religious and other
bigotries within the far-right wing of the Republicans because of a completely
out-of-control ego and mercenary instincts/Oklahoma, the people passed a state law
prohibiting Sharia Law within the state. Leftist, supposedly secular groups like
the ACLU are challenging the law to try and force Sharia back in/gecko says he
wants to help the 99% to help himself to the tender parts for parboiling and
soufles and sell the rest to cat food companies! Romney has helped a lot of
businesses that way - helped them all the way to the graveyard after harvesting
all their organs/far beyond the simple minded proposition you offer, only a ghoul
would buy up companies that are TEMPORARILY distressed to raid the pension funds,
sell the assets to any buyer and eventually fire the employees. Mitt is just such
a ghoul - most people wouldn't be in that line of work - most would prefer simple
thievery like bank robbery or horse thieving. Arson for hire is about as honorable
as Mitts trade/Blingrich or The Gecko - mad Paul or Indie Sanitoreum, fairly
apparently morally bankrupt and physically exhausted. If it were a horse on a race
track it would be getting a mercy shot right about now, santorum says people
shouldnt go to college, shut all the lefty universities down leaving only those
fine institutions like Bob Jones University, Liberty college and Beck U to educate
the 100 or so most elite families that will decide things from now on/if higher
education institutions "taught Judeo-Christian principles" "they would be stripped
of every dollar." "If they teach radical secular ideology, they get all the
government support that they can possibly give them," . "Because, you know, 62
percent of children who enter college with a faith conviction leave without it.I
actually don't believe everyone should go to college. The porcine land-whales of
the right-wing who populate this message board certainly have no place in higher
education. And reducing the number of people going to liberal arts colleges will
put out of business those for-profit scam schools like Liberty University and Bob
Jones University, which produced some of the worst people and policies the planet
has ever seen. Santorum/Faculty at colleges and universities of all kinds in
America are overwhelmingly liberal in their political ideology, creating a
strong campus political culture. Categorized according to both selfidentification
and voting patterns, faculty are heavily weighted towards the Left. Indeed, those
who identify as independents and moderates actually vote more like liberals and
Democrats." jewishresearch.org /if Liberty University shuttered its doors for
good, the country would be better off

his message across Eric Cantor looks like he pissedhis pants and Johnny Boner is
licking his chapped lips continually/McConnell (R-KY) said Obama’s “goal isn’t to
conquer the nation’s problems. It’s to conquer Republicans.”/gingrich has already
been thrown out by his own party, romney is on record as saying let all homeowners
suffer and lose their homes and money, let GM and Chrysler fail republican dog
race has been more disgusting than a pro-wrestling set-up sketch, bunch of
sophomoric, arrogant, divisive, low-life, never-worked-an-honest-day-in-their-life
hypocrite criminals/“The defining issue of our time is how to keep that promise
alive. No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important. We can either
settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a
growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where
everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by
the same set of rules. What’s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican
values, but American values. We have to reclaim them.”/Two men, so-called "straw
buyers" who acknowledged purchasing guns that they knew were headed to Mexico have
pleaded guilty to buying guns that were destined to be smuggled into Mexico, in
the federal government's botched Operation Fast and Furious/Mitch Daniels and

/semi-literate fundamentalist preachers are like ignorant parrots, ignorant
buffoons who feed on the uneducated. That's why they are in and support the once
great republican party. The republican party has descended into lunatic land where
the inmates run the asylum and where ignorance and superstition rules and anything
that smacks of education, logic and reason is denigrated/To many people, it seems
absolutely incredible that any reasonable person could maintain this belief in the
face of our current scientific knowledge and the contemporary understanding of
history, religion and mythology. To outsiders, the phenomenon of Christian belief
is a puzzlement. Christian faith's invisible attributes are now clearly to be
seen. Behind all the sacraments and the rituals, the organ music and the angelic
choirs, the praying lips and the arms thrust heavenward, behind all this, propping
it all up, is the monstrous doctrine that gullibility and ignorance are
divine/taken from other earlier pagan religions. And there was no concept or
teaching of original "sin" in j'sim, that concept was first surfaced by Paul to
sell the need for a supernatural savior/Obama delivered his third, and hopefully
final, State of the Union Address tonight in the House of Representatives. It was
a laundry list of minor programs and legislative tweaks, with plenty of
conspicuous campaign rhetoric mixed in. The president strained to sound peppy and
upbeat, painting a rosy national picture that the 16 percent of Americans who are
unemployed, underemployed, or have ceased even looking for a job likely found
unrecognizable. On the areas that still require improvement (namely, everything),
he urged Congress to work together to pass -- surprise -- his agenda.He called on
Washington to lower the "temperature" of its discourse -- just a few months after
the man over his right shoulder explicitly said that Republicans were aiding and
abetting "rape and murder" by opposing an unpaid-for second stimulus, and weeks
after his hand-picked DNC Chair suggested that Tea Party rhetoric contributed to
the Tucson shooting.He also suggested that Congress should emulate SEAL Team Six's
example and act as a single unit working toward a common end. This pablum might
sound pleasant, but it's unrealistic and undemocratic. A free, individual-oriented
society does not act as one monolithic beast, and Congress is not a military
outfit that carries out a commander's orders."Mediocre Stump Speech

Such charges performed a double duty for the Obama’s critics, casting “Barack Hussein Obama” as not only a threat to all Christians, but beyond the pale of whiteness, both as a man of African descent and as an alleged Muslim, a category that increasingly carries both religious and ethno-racial “civiliza­tional” implication.- intellect has for centuries spawned a variety of anti-intellectual commitments—the fetishization of folksiness, the cult of efficiency and practicality, jingoistic patriotism, militarized masculinity, and religious fervor- Jef­ferson’s moving preamble to the 1776 “Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge,” which bears the hallmark of his views on the relationship between education and public life:Whereas . . . certain forms of government are better calculated than others to protect individuals in the free exercise of their natural rights . . . experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms, those entrusted with power have . . . per­verted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of prevent­ing this would be, to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large; And whereas it is generally true that people will be happiest whose laws are best, and are best administered, and that laws will be wisely formed, and honestly ad­ministered, in proportion as those who form and administer them are wise and honest-The number of black men in prison . . . has already equaled the number of men enslaved in 1820. . . . [And] if current trends continue, only 15 years remain before the United States incarcerates as many African-American men as were forced into chattel bondage at slavery’s peak, in 1860-we now find ourselves in an era ominously reminiscent of that biblical season of plague, only this time it is not divine power striking down the first-born children of Pharaoh’s kingdom because he refused to grant full freedom to all people, but rather the sovereign power of the state seizing every third son born black. Or perhaps we should push even further back in locat­ing an apt metaphor for the present to ancient Babylon, to the building of that colossal tower of Babel, which eventually wrought divine destruction, condemning humanity to endless confused chatter and conflict-by: Susan Searls Giroux-truthout-org/between-race-and-reason-anti-intellectualism-american-life/1314634662 Hofstadter, Richard.
