Philosophy From Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton offered an utterly unoriginal contrast between the Dem and Rep party philosophies:

“We believe ‘we’re all in this together’ is a better philosophy than ‘you’re on your own,’ ” Mr. Clinton said.

Since "We're all in this together" is immediately followed by Democratic cries to tax the rich, a more complete explication would be "We're all in this together... and someone else is buying!"

Free is good, who doesn't like free? Especially Democrats who seem to think everything grows on trees...

Let the record show that I am not in this together with the Democrats. I am against them in every particular.

I think Slick developed that "philosophy" regarding the girlfriends of others.

We're all in this together, but some of us are more in to it than others.

GMAX, they do think it grows on trees. That's why the JEF is so upset with the business owners for not harvesting those profits and hiring others like they did for Reagan. It's not fair.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It was a short speech, but when Benita Veliz stepped up to the lectern at the Democratic National Convention, she made history. The 27-year-old from San Antonio became the first illegal immigrant to address a national political convention.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-illegal-immigrant-benita-veliz-dnc-20120905,0,4708196.story

Our fact checkers give this 4 Pinocchios. The first illegal alien to speak at a convention did so in 2004.

[rse]

"We are all in this together" is just code for give us what we want via state coercion. If the Dems truly believed that creed there would be signs of such generosity in their uncompelled altruism when nobody is looking. Somehow that is never the case.

Saying that to a nation that is the most generous consistently in history shows just how much these statist schemers have placed on flowery language never being pierced by logical, factual analysis of what they are really saying.

I'm a little touchy as I am literally in the primordial swamps today of aspirations for the future. I have decided that much of what is pushed is always just an illusion to play on naivete to get coalition of interests to get electoral power to impose any and everything.

The real truth is Dems, like statists everywhere, want to control individual human behavior. They will use whatever theories or language it takes to get there. But it's stupid to take them literally. As Gore shows these are not people who will ever voluntarily stop jetting around the world burning fossil fuels.

It's all just a subordination scheme to be accepted by the naive, the young, the bought off, and all those who are now too poorly educated to actually discern reality.

And that does make for the kind of coalition putting together such a dismal show in Charlotte.

As a Democrat I can't completely disagree with the TM's assessment of our political objective. We aim to make you bleed taxes out of your ass for the next 40 years to pay for those of us who aren't as....... driven.

Glenn Kessler fact checks Clinton, more in sorrow than in anger.

Folks with way too much time on their hands can compare Bill Clinton's speech as prepared and as delivered. If nothing else, the color coded copy is an interesting illustration of just how far off teleprompter a gifted politician can go without embarrassing himself.

Fortunately, Joe Biden is not that guy!

Advisers say Biden will tell what he saw from his front-row seat as Obama made some of his hardest decisions. And he'll make the case that Republican rival Mitt Romney isn't suited to make the tough calls.

He'll have to get real creative with part two, but -- fortunately! -- that's where Joe's real genius lies. He didn't have his Affable Uncle face on last night in the gallery, though, so I'm afraid we may see Joe being Joe in a choke collar tonight.

Concur. Where else do you get a better distillation of the unvarnished aspirations of the gold bricks and layabouts than WeeDavey's repeated ambitions to live off the teats of the productive?
I do however feel a bit of sorrow in letting him in on the sad news that his over-the-top cheerleading for the Arkansan lech and Barry is unlikely to get him close enough to fellate either one of them, which I can only assume, given his history of perverted comments, is the end game of his sis-boom-bah routine.

[JM Hanes]

Why is it that folks like VeeJay never stick around for the laughter? Do you suppose he was old enough to vote for Theresa & John in 2004? Because they are just. like. him.

[matt]

since the Declaration states that we:

"all are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

We each have the God given right to do what we please within the law. We do not have to be in things together but rather go our separate way if we so choose, within the law. That is after all one reason we are a multi party state.

I find it terribly amusing that the recent poll of charitable contributions by red state/blue state affiliation came squarely down with the Red States as the most charitable.

When one considers Biden's and Obama's tax returns with those of Romney, at least, there is no question who is engaged in charity on a more personal level. To then find that Romney has a long and quiet history of other charitable acts for which there are no deductions further underscores the difference.

"We're all in this together" from a Democratic Party perspective means that "we will use government and all of its inefficiency and waste to choose who will receive benefit according to our rules" rather than using free will.

Free will has a history of success in this country of 235 years. Socialism has a history of 40 and socialism ain't working out too well, is it?

I'm struggling with a deadline and haven't been able to delve into the ratings links. Can amyone give the lowdown on how many million watched last night as opposed to 2nd night of the RNC? Or just a general ratings comparison?

"platform to take treatment options away from tens of millions of Americans?"

Perhaps you could direct us to the language in the platform to which you refer.

Close your eyes and imagine what the nation would be like if corporations were not allowed to make profits. And let every parasitic freeloader know this: if you seized in taxes every single penny over $250,000 earned by Americans, you could fund Obama's government for four months. Four months.

--Philosophy From Bill Clinton.....'We believe ‘we’re all in this together’--

If leeches, tapeworms, lampreys or any of the other multitudes from the parasitic kingdom could speak how would their philosophy differ?

The problem is precisely that we're not all in it together. As Inchworm so nicely put it those among us who aren't quite so "driven" not to live off their neighbors are in it only for themselves while those of us who are coerced at the point of a gun to support slug-a-beds like him are only "in it together" in the same sense that Dredd Scott V Sanford were.

[JM Hanes]

If you enjoy the spectacle of pundits going full Vizzini, it doesn't get better than The Not-So-Great Communicator:

Barack Obama’s light Christmas reading back in 2010 was Lou Cannon’s biography of Ronald Reagan — 920 pages on the political storyteller Obama admired most, to the profound annoyance of his Maddow-loving base.

Obama’s aides can’t quite remember whether the boss ever finished it. Even if he did, no one would ever mistake Obama — an electrifying speaker with the rare capacity, at times, to spin emotion and intellect into rhetorical gold — for the Great Communicator.

Harsh circumstance, relentless conservative opposition and, above all, the inconsistency of his own messaging operation have made it difficult for a supremely articulate communicator to articulate the narrative of his own presidency.

A supremely articulate inarticulate communicator! An incoherent intellectual giant, a rhetorical golden boy who mysteriously fails the bully pulpit test.

Even "a veteran conservative operative and Reagan biographer" who is "stumped by [Obama's] failure to establish... a cohesive political identity beyond the change agent of 2008," remains "impressed Obama's talent."

[bio mom]

I wanted to ask VeeJay to list where Romney's 7 houses are. California, New Hampshire, Boston (a condo now), ???? Where else?

[Clarice]

Probably because I read speeches instead of watching them, I always thought Obama was a second rate mind and a third rate speaker. If you spent a lot of time in Black liberation and Farrakhan services where cadence beats content you might differ.

JOMers, need yr expertise!

Last night, catching up with the threads and enjoying the Empty Chair Day caper tremendously, I clicked on Jane's YouToo and soon after got 6 or more Trojan fake viruses on a PC, demanding payment to delete them. Instead I put Malwarebytes and Avira to work, deleting 6 of them. Still, it blocked my content. I did a reset and found my content still there.

But then a blank white screen took over, demanding $200 via Green Dot within 48 hours with threats of imprisonment for downloading mp3 stuff -- something I've never done in my life. Oh, and also a fake FBI logo in the top lefthand corner saying they've locked up my registry.

I went to sleep and then drove all the way to the other side of St. Jane's Island to get onto this computer. The infected PC now only has a white screen glimmering on and off, so even if I did want to pay extortion fees (or is it a new Obama fundraising technique), I couldn't access the little boxes for typing in a Green Dot card number!

Fortunately, this time they won't have a financial meltdown to put Oblammy over the top.

" ... This is the same guy who tried to deduct his "charitable donation" of used underwear, right? ..."

[matt]

I would say that there is very little great rhetoric anymore. Clinton went down so many side paths and byways in that speech he lost the crowd. It's great to hear the ringing tones of a Southern orator but it was mainly a drone interspersed with "Romney sucks" and "Republicans suck" every few minutes.

There was no shining city on a hill or fighting the enemy on the beaches or four score and seven or even there you go again. It was a hollow preaching to the converted.

The same basic subset of the population tuned in with a more heavily Democratic demographic, but the Dems were there to be convinced of the righteousness and greatness of their cause while a very small subset wanted to measure up the competition.
Not a lot of undecideds.

The balance seems to be pretty steady, so it may come down to a major screwup by one of the candidates.

The mass of evidence for change keeps on growing, and Woodward's book sounds pretty devastating. When one considers that the white House guest book contains almost no names of Republican leaders for years, it's hard to make a case for bipartisanship and it sounds like Obama torched his relationship with Boehner. Reagan and O'Neill were at least outwardly genial.

The campaigns get back into gear tomorrow, and the debates will be very interesting indeed. Right now it's even still.

an excerpt from Barack Obama's 2004 DNC speech -
"Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America."

Now how in the world a DEMOCRAT can get away with saying that is beyond me. All they do is try to divide Americans.

sbw & rick-I was back in the 80s this morning and it appears there was a clear Marxist handoff that occurred to let feminism take the lead going forward as the means of altering consciousness.

The patriarchy emphasis could then take down capitalism and the rational mind-two bulwarks of freedom. It picks up the Earth first green themes by playing on exploitation of natural resources as patriarchal. Plus the feminist side can play to Mother Earth celebrations that make humans just another species and species just a form of nature. The emphasis on emotion can also be spun as more feminine thinking.

It also explains the continued emphasis on Fluke. And why so many of these female college Presidents dramatically shift formerly fine schools dramatically away from an academic focus. Academics itself, especially natural science, is being played as another form of patriarchy.
