The lie is about jobs. There are more people working with more to spend than at any time in this nation's history. The economy is rolling along very nice.

I don't know why they will bother with that particular item: they already have. They knew damned well what they were doing over a decade ago when they supported -- and right along with the Republicans -- the free trade agreements, and the fast track legislation, that gave the President the power to implement them. It would be hypocritical of them to now, after the fact, decide that something must be done, when something has already been done. How are they going to uncreate something that they have created? I am reminded of the scene in the movie "Cold Mountain". Ruby, played by Renee Zellweger, disgusted with the war, lamented: "Every piece of this is a man's bullshit. They call this war a cloud over the land, but they made the weather. Then they stand in the rain and say: shit! It's raining!"
I agree indago, that's why, WE THE PEOPLE EXIST!

It's Raining Again


It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
and you know it's hard to pretend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh will my heart ever mend.
Oh no, it's raining again
You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.

C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh get back up again
Fill your heart again...
Live the Light, Give the Light,
Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!


I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:
Stop the madness before us it stops!
Σταματήστε την τρέλα προτού να μας σταματήσεϊ Greek

As I watch the sun
set slowly I hold back the tears
And I can't help but wonder
why the lord had to put me here
Caused I've raised hell
All night long
And I've seen a good
man go wrong
And I can't help
The way that I am
Cause the whiskey, weed, and women
had the upper hand
Livin' lonely
is the life that I been livin'
I got drunk
the day my paw went to prison
And when my mama died
I just didn't care about livin'
And I drank myself blind
just tryin' to find a good reason
And I've raised hell
All night long
And I've seen a good
man go wrong
And I can't help
The way that I am
Cause the whiskey, weed, and women
have the upper hand
Yeah the whiskey, weed, and women
have the upper hand,

So, you are saying, then, when Ron Hira, assistant professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology, said: "Information technology jobs and call-centers jobs were the first movers. Now it's snowballing in industries that are information intensive. Companies in insurance and financial services, in particular, have seen that I.T. operations can be successfully offshored. Because of that, they're beginning to think about types of other jobs like claims processing or financial analysis. We're also seeing it in engineering and design", this was a lie?

That may be true but they are being replaced with other jobs. Things are changing all the time. The fact is that that Americans live pretty well, the unemplyment rate is 4.6% which is considered full employment, and the economy is doing real well. Those are the facts. Read this.

Take it any way you wish. The fact is America is economically strong. That's what I am saying. Do you know that America used to be a leader in the textile industry years ago. You could just as easily have written an article years ago saying we are losing all our textile jobs to India and Pakistan. Somehow, we managed to grow as a country didn't we and our standard of living is pretty good. How many people in this world have the health care and modern appliances in their homes that we have? I can drive 5 miles into the nearest town and there is an Albertsons, Safeway, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, about 25 restaurants, a couple sports bars, Home Depot, etc. 10 years ago, there was one gas station there and that was it. I think you're beating a dead horse. That's my opinion.

So, you can't point out a lie.

And didn't I just know, somehow, that this is the way this would turn out; so predictable. It looks like alias thrives on making bold and sweeping generalizations, but when called upon the carpet to examine into his ranting, the foundation crumbles, along with his veracity; and, we find that his equivocations are just that; he is just blowing smoke, and now eating crow; and enjoying his favorite dish: SMOKED CROW

I just gave you the facts from the NAM. Are they lying? You're just spouting the liberal propaganda as usual that liberals have been spouting for a years. It's a lie. Keep baiting me and you will soon find yourself hollering for help because I can insult far better than you. Try me.
