I think it was way off base in it's assessment of the country in general terms. Insightful only of his assessment of the current state of the political nation but to call the NYT as the only source of rational thought, please....

Only the major newspapers still provide intelligent analysis, by people like the New York Times' insightful and levelheaded columnist David Brooks.

or statements like:

Quote:

They are the descendants of immigrants, and proud of it, and they oppose immigration.

What utter BS...

He clearly does not understand the US.

I was referring to the perception from the outside looking in. Accuracy was not part of that. I was thinking of it in terms of what we here in America think when we look at other countries.
Are our views as skewed, if you will, as theirs?

Oh and welcome back ya prick. How ya feeling?

First good day. Thanks for asking.

You know, the more I read the article the more I realized that this guy who wrote the bit know less about us than he think he does. He obviously never lived here. I would be more interested in having our EU participants read it and hear their take on it. But alas I am not holding my breath...

(Washington) President Barack Obama has confided his plans to become a registered Republican some time before the end of the lame-duck session of the 111th Congress. Speaking to his inner circle, he lamented failing to bring the two major parties together. One of his confidants reported Obama saying, "It's really just one party anyway and clearly the Republicans have the confidence of the people. I can finish my original mission much easier within the GOP." Sources wouldn't elaborate on what that mission is.

Obama clearly signaled his intentions through two recent tactical moves. He relented on ending the Bush-era tax breaks for the top 1% of income earners. The 3% reduction in the top rate accounts for over $1.0 trillion in lost revenues. Prior to the 2010 midterm elections, Obama hinted that he opposed a renewal of the tax breaks. It looked like the president might win this one with speculation that the tax breaks would likely die due to the post midterm atmosphere.

It just doesn't get any better than this, Obamy in his own words.

Great article.

Backdoor Big Government
Americans sent a small-government message in November, but Obama isn’t listening.

It's always encouraging when the ACLU and the government are on the same side.

I don't think so....

Quote:

“It is one thing to share the ACLU’s disrespect for the rule of law but it is quite another to collude with the organization on a prosecutorial strategy against the State of Arizona. Frankly, these new documents show it is hard to tell where the ACLU ends and the Justice Department begins,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Obama Justice Department is supposed to be an independent, nonpartisan law enforcement agency. Many Americans will be disturbed, though maybe not surprised, to find that Eric Holder’s Justice Department is colluding with one of the most leftist organizations in the nation. We know whose ‘side’ this Justice Department in on when it comes to the enforcement of our immigration laws."

But hey Eric Holder and the Justice Department have made no bones about the fact that they are a racist organization.

Quote:

Members of the commission issued what should be regarded as a stinging indictment of AG Holder and the Justice Department in one paragraph of a news release issued today about the investigation trying to answer the question of whether DOJ practiced race-neutral enforcement of the law:
Although such testimony supported the need for thorough investigation, DOJ continued to withhold relevant documents and preclude relevant officials and supervisors from testifying. The Commission was thus limited in its ability to complete a final report. As a result, the Commission has issued an interim report that describes the evidence that has been collected up to this point and the lack of cooperation by the Department of Justice.
In a separate paragraph, appearing on page iii of the interim report addressed to President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), Commission members highlighted the dilemma they face as a result of the DOJ’s obstruction:
The Commission, by a separate 5-2 vote breaking down along the same lines, found that although its statute authorizes the Commission to subpoena witnesses and written material and requires federal agencies to cooperate fully with its investigations, its authority to seek legal recourse when the Attorney General refuses to enforce Commission subpoenas, as has occurred repeatedly during this investigation, is unclear.
