WIKIPEDIA: RINO - Republican In Name Only

From the why-I-will-never-donate-to-wikipedia dept.

I won't correct what I see, because their byzantine fiefdoms are even more difficult to deal with than wi-forums. The pattern is the same (global warming's page as well), a cabal decides what is acceptable for their slice of the site.

Wikipedia has cult status.

PS- On "Hardball" they are talking about the polarizing figure running for VP...how a libertarian streak showed itself through Ron Paul. The "paleo-conservative" label you will see in tonight's example is a valid point. Conservatism is supposed to mean "smaller government," and no, we don't trust them. (emphases mine)

MSNBC Conservative

An MSNBC Conservative is the counterpart to "Fox News Liberal" and is a pejorative term used to describe erstwhile conservative commentators, or RINOs, that often agree with liberal candidates and policies. The most prominent examples are MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and MSNBC contributor Peggy Noonan. All were either Republican officials or worked in Republican administrations, yet now take positions in sympathy with the Democratic party and the American left. MSNBC contributer Patrick Buchanan and former bow-tied host Tucker Carlson are sometimes considered in this category because they hold paleo-conservative views, that are felt to be out of touch with the neo-conservatives (sic) views that are prominent in the modern conservative movement, and cause them to side with modern liberals on certain issues like the Iraq War, free trade, and government jobs programs.

They don't realize why they lost the election, and are being abandoned by conservatives like me...

Zeitgeist Addendum and Social Security

Before I say anything, let me say that if you haven't seen Zeitgeist Addendum, you need to...who knows, it may inspire you to watch the original. It covers the real reason for the current financial crisis, using the Federal Reserve's own manual.

How does this relate to Social Security? I have known this for some time, and current events are proving that SS may well be a Ponzi Scheme: BusinessWeek

If you care for someone who is growing older (like my parents), this site may be invaluable to you: Resources For Families

If you take one thing from The Project, it should be Peace, Love and Understanding.

Freaking out about how bad things are will only make it worse. We need to be there for each other...

If it's any consolation, I have been "unemployed" since the end of February 2007. Keeping a cool head has served me well, and now that the bastids are gone, it is easier to do...
