dick c commented on the blog post WikiLeaks Uncovers Report Showing Homeland Security Monitored Occupy Movement
We must have a bunch of morons over at Homeland Security. Why can’t they understand that the protest is all about the average person realizing that wall Street bankers are a huge threat to the security of the country… And the reason they think that is because they obviously are!

“Good Sunday morning Glenn☺ Funny you should be writing about this I just finished a short article titled “I’ve Got Your Back”
New evidence shows that chimpanzees aren’t as selfish as many scientists thought
Seems to me that Brooks has it all wrong!!! We are wired to be empathetic towards each other!!!”I’d bet Brooks or one of his betters read that and saw it as something they needed to go proactive on lest their true believers start thinking.

He’s probably looking out to protect the continued flow into whatever accounts that money found it’s way to.

dick c commented on the blog post Panetta Fearmongers on Defense Budget Cuts
People who are critical of government spending seem to love talking about employees per dollar of spending. How about applying that to defense contractors? Actually, I’d love to see a count of million dollar incomes paid out of what we spend on defense.

Cutting the military was my first thought. It’s a shame (wink), but you gotta do what you gotta do.

“… perhaps it mentions some Pakistani names that Pakistan would prefer not be implicated.” I wouldn’t be surprised if they found Christmas cards from the Bushes’.

Thanks for the answer to “when.” We should point out that that was when God gave us strong unions.

“I always wonder what era they believe we more closely hewed to Christian ideals.” Same here. They’ve been crying about this forever, but I’ve never heard an answer to that question. I’d love to see people start pinning them down on this.

I’m a long way from Vermont… Did Shumlin have a well funded machine working against him in the media there? A succesful program there will definitely bolster efforts in other areas, but that’s different than duplicating Shumlin’s success in the same manner somewhere else.

Given the extent of control the conservative faction of moneyed interests have over government and media, we probably won’t see any real fixes get good press, or even fair press, unless those interests stand to profit from them. That could mean there will be no actual fixes, just more crap along the lines of the [...]

If Obama and the Dems acknowledge that the 14th Amendment means what it says, then how are they going to allow the Republicans to “force” them to cut entitlements?

dick c commented on the blog post Mr. President, Why Haven’t There Been Criminal Investigations of Wall Street Elites?
So that gives us two related explanations: what the banksters did was just fine; and they are like us and we aren’t criminals, so it was ok, whatever the technical requirements of the law might be.
More and more I see why people often decide to dispense with “technical requirements of the law” and just hang them all.
