(LibertarianRepublican.net 7 November 2012) The end of liberty in America: Only course of action now is to fight back, electoral politics not working

Because surrounding yourself only with people who agree with your worldview didn't have any bearing on why so many R-leaning pundits were predicting a Romney landslide.

This guy's commitment to democracy is touching. He really feels entitled to the Presidency doesn't he? Personally I hope a left-leaning Democrat saves his miserable life at some point. He'd miss the point I'm sure though.

This guy is not taking things nearly far enough.

Receive a Social Security check from a fund shared by, or administered by, Democrats? Rip it up. Need medical care that will be paid in any part by Democrats' taxes? Forgo it. Drive on public roads? Stay home. Writing posts on an Internet subsidized by public (including liberals') dollars? Unplug (please!).

Freedom protected by soldiers who voted for Obama? Move to North Korea.

Projection much Turd Blossom??

(Raw Story, 8 November 2012) Karl Rove: Obama ‘succeeded by suppressing the vote’

Does anyone really fall for this drivel? Isn't that what campaigns do? If his candidate can't overcome the opposition's portrayal of his candidate, it's not Obama's fault, it's Rove's. Romney's a businessman. That's Marketing 101.

HuffPo

Sayyyyy Doesn't Texas get more money from the Gobmint than they pay out to the Feds????

Guess it is very close on money in out....oops.

I'm sure his friends will be seriously disappointed. May he enjoy his solitude.

Ah yes, the ever dwindling circle of "friends". Really trying to insulate his echo chamber. Pretty soon he will be sitting in front of the TV, watching Faux news, and vigorously trying to clean the copious spittle from his monitor. Kinda like No Neck Nancy.

Utah company blames Pres. Obama for 102 workers laid off

Fox is pimping this story with this headline:
OBAMA REELECTION TRIGGERS MASSIVE LAYOFFS ACROSS AMERICA

102 is "massive"?

I say call Morrison's bluff. Texas must repay all federal monies it has received, including any civil war reparations and FEMA costs. The US will withdraw any troops, dismantle all military installations,move NASA, and remove any SORs and figure a way to keep any refineries under US control. He sounds like one of those old southern Blowhards who thought they could secede because of King Cotton. If he thinks the oil industry will keep it afloat, he has another thought coming. A world wide embargo might put an end to his pipe dream. Texas I doubt can be economically self-sufficient. JK.

Yes.

It's about diluting the term. If he refers to that as 'voter suppression', then he has successfully weakened the upcoming arguments about real voter suppression.

Murray Energy was just ordered to pay $1.7 million in fines for having unsafe work conditions. The owner is trying to distract the public from the fact it was his company whose subsidiary saw 7 miners killed a couple of years ago. The owner is strategically trying to blame the president's policies for its failure to protect its miners. by laying off its employees now. It had already announced these layoffs in early August.

Exactly. That's why it needs to be pushed back against (among other reasons).

Karl Rove is being Karl Rove. He's playing by the Karl Rove playbook and he's very upset that his plans didn't work so well. What he does works up to a point and that point was reached. You can fool only just so many people all the time. He counts on the captive audience of Fox News to soak up his mind bending views of reality. He is a master. It's horrifying that it works on so many, but it does. What can be done about that? This is the real question.

His ploy is to take a negative like 'voter suppression' and twist it around and apply it falsely to the opposition to voter suppression.

Yes, the Obama campaigned painted Romney as a rich out of touch vulture capitalist. He used Romney's own words, the things Romney bragged about endlessly and facts supplied by Romney to paint the picture. The Obama campaign did not make things up or edit Romney speeches and statements to say the opposite of what he really said. Romney defeated Romney. Not Sandy. Not OFA. Not Obama. No, it was Romney. No body else. Just about everybody knew it before the campaign started. It does go back to the much replayed video of Ann Coulter saying that if the GOP did not nominate Chris Christie, that Romney would be the nominee and he would lose. She wasn't possessed by any special prophetic insight. It was the plain large writing across the wall. Nobody wanted Romney. They just didn't have anybody else that was any more presentable who could pass the acid tea party tests and still appeal to moderates.

Karl is not able to capture the moderates. The more he intensifies his attacks ads and dirty tricks, the more will alienate moderates.

ahhhh. They are scanning all the news for layoffs and posting them at that link.

A shame they aren't scanning for hirings.

Anyway, Fox just needs to highlight the negative.

Karl Rove is frantic because he sold millionaires and billionaires on his "American Crossroads" scam, which is apparently now his pet cash cow. All or almost all of the candidates he backed failed utterly. I believe most of the Republican Rape Gang were in his stable of candidates.

Basically, he took hundreds of millions, maybe billions of rich people's money and flushed it down the toilet in an utter failure.

So he has to convince these people that a bunch of other things, like the weather, are to blame, and that they should really give him a few more billion to flush down the toilet.

So I can understand his desperate rationalizations. He has a scam to save.

I just don't understand why anyone believes the bullshit of this puffy-faced little maggot.

Knowing the way Murrray operates, they will lay off a few miners and say it's because of Obama and quietly hire them back after Christmas or even before. He's like something out of Dickens novel.

Murray Energy is an abomination! The "seismic bump" at the Crandall Canyon Mine in 2007 was anything but a naturally occurring event. Here is why Murray is so mad....he was heavily [at least by industry standards] fined for the lack of safety in the mine.

http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/msha/MSHA20121964.htm#.UJ1W5WcSRhE

Basically, the company did not leave enough coal in situ to maintain the structural integrity of the mine. Coal occurs in seams, often "sandwiched" between two sandstone beds. Modern underground coal mining is usually done by the longwall method. Some of the coal is left behind to act as support columns [mining term is pillar] for the sandstone back [the mining term for roof is "back"]. Murray Energy did not comply with generally accepted standards for structural support. They purposely chose to mine the coal and subject their employees to danger because leaving coal behind cut into the company's profit. The miners were robbing the coal pillars as they worked their way out of the mined-out area when the roof collapsed on them. The MSHA employee was attempting to get to the miners as part of the rescue attempt when a rock burst killed him and two other rescuers. The bodies of the six non-union coal miners were never recovered.

Part of my surveying practice is underground surveying. Under the Mine Heath Safety Act (MSHA) I am required to have 40 hours of safety training specific to underground mine hazards. I must complete an 8-hour safety refresher each year. The folks that I get my training from are mostly retired MSHA employees. The Crandall Canyon Mine disaster was part of my 8-hour refresher course because some of the instructors had participated in the accident review done by MSHA. This is a very sad situation where the Bush Administration was pressured by Murray to get the MSHA management to approve the risky plan. Murray initially tried to deflect blame for the "accident" by blaming it on an earthquake. The USGS did note a small earthquake at the time of the accident. The "earthquake" recorded by the USGS was in fact the mine collapse!

A reputable news outlet would have captioned the headline as, 102 workers saved from working in unsafe mine(s)!!!!!!

I would never personally step into a Murray Energy, Corp. mine. No way in hell.

Rove was in charge of a heck of a lot of money. I'm curious as to what his salary was for the fine job he did.

Has anyone heard from Ed Hale?

It will be very interesting to see what form this civil disobedience will take. It's sounds like he doesn't have a plan and is just trolling for Xtian $$$$$. Mealy-mouth grifter.

Wow! To think that some people criticized the SPLC for naming the FRC a hate organization.
