Come to think of it, that does sound like the Republicans.
Just too funny................ha ha ha ha ha!

Seriously, the crap they were talking over at Fox & Friends was so desperate, that's what convinced me that Obama would win. They were sweating bullets over there.
But what caught me off guard was how much they whined when it was apparent that the president had won. They were actually believing their own BS.
Rove went ballistic! They were almost ready to claim cheating on Obama's campaign.

Bill O'Reilly was claiming the death of White America. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. We only want "stuff & things" handed to us. Racist and prejudicial is an understatement. Now I know what Chuck Norris meant by "1000 years of darkness" - these guys are ready to slit their own throats, rather than roll up their sleeves and work with the president. But I know it's all about power. The rich white dudes want to control everything, they want to gather all the toys in their corner and let no one else play with them.

These rich white dudes can be melodramatic at times.

Pretty sure that was aimed at Rappy.

Every time anyone points out that "euro-style socialism" hasn't been the death of this country or that (Germany seems quite strong, too, doesn't it?), the tired old response is the same: "Give it time."

It's the same thing we hear from them in support of deregulation and trickle-down economics when we point out that they have not worked: "Give it time."

Euro-style socialism has been in place for quite a while now, and it seems to be working quite well in many places. Trickle-down, supply-side, unregulated free-market capitalism hasn't worked nearly as well.

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

Yup, Shiny, I heard all the same stuff. It's pretty pathetic, isn't it? Never seen such sore losers..."We're gonna run away!", "We're gonna riot!", "We're gonna secede!", "We're gonna overthrow the government!" all because their guy lost.

And yes, Rap's reactions, euro-socialism, carbon tax, they're all of a piece with the rest of it, sadly. Bear in mind the only places he gets his "information" from are FauxNews and right-wing radio--exactly the same places all the rest of them get their "news" from, so their reaction really shouldn't surprise anyone.

Things have changed in America. Not for the better.

Tit for tat got us where we are today. If we want to be grownups, we need to resist the ugliness. If we each did, this would be a better reflection on Firefly and a more welcome place. I will try.

I love it, Penguin! Reading that makes me feel like I should move to Australia...seems like a much healthier mentality than we're suffering here. Unfortunately, unlike our extreme right wingers who are threatening to leave, I love my country too much to cut and run, I'd rather stay and try to make it a BETTER country. More fool me, perhaps, given the way things have been going and I have little doubt will continue to go...

There is a lot to love about Australia. But we are part of global phenomenums and unfortunately we often look to America as an example of how to be a great country. Our parties have moved to the right as well in recent years, and we have our ugly right winged media commentators as well (and a few more sensible ones).

I think its good to get a bit of perspective. America may be struggling economically, but so is much the western world. Those peaks and troughs are often despite government intervention, rather than because of...

I'd say hang in there, and wait for me to visit y'all ;)

Oh, how I wish I COULD visit you...and New Zealand (says the Tolkeinophile!). Aside from wanting to see so many things, New Zealand is so gorgeous, and Australia so fantastically rugged, and the wildlife!! Sigh...

Anyway, yeah, I think a goodly number of us know this economic crap is pretty much worldwide, and it's the idjits and/or self-focused ones who believe it's just us, or the Prez can fix it by snapping his fingers, etc. Sad really. But it's all of a piece; if everyone in every country (especially America, given our wealth and power!) had perspective of every other country, "what a wonderful world it would be"!

That last graphic had me rolling over; showed it to hubby...he rolled over too. Most excellent!

David Beckham denies plans to play in Australia -- for now
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-david-beckham-play-in
-australia-20121116,0,4512592.story

David Beckham said was he surprised by reports he would spend
part of his winter playing in Australia, saying Galaxy Coach Bruce
Arena was the first to tell him of the rumor Friday morning.

"That's the first I've heard about it," the 37-year-old Beckham
said. "But no, it's not true."

That denial may not be entirely true since the Australia soccer fed-
eration says it was Beckham's management group that approached
them about a short-term loan.

Australian man reportedly blew himself up in suicide bombing at Syrian military airport
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-13/reports-of-australian-suicide-bo
mber-in-syria/4957222
An Australian jihadist fighting in Syria has reportedly blown himself up in a suicide bombing near a military airport in the country's east.
For some time now concerns have been growing among the Australian intelligence community about the involvement of Australian jihadists who have travelled to fight in the Syrian conflict.
At least four Australians are known to have been killed in the fighting, but the news of the first Australian to become a suicide bomber is seen as a significant and troubling development.

I thought someone was going to notice that we (well not me I voted Greens in the Upper and Lower houses) voted in a new Government and a new Prime Minister who is on the conservative spectrum of politics. He replaces the old Prime Minister who as far as I can see had the same policies, even though he is a member of the other Party who was on the liberal spectrum of politics. The outgoing Prime Minister had ousted the previous Prime Minister in a leadership coup within the Party only a few months before the election. The previous Prime Minister was a left leaning, atheist woman, only she pretty much had the same polcicies as the guy who ousted her. Her government was elected with such a minority that they had to do deals with independant MP's from boths sides of the spectrum to form government. Oh and she had ousted the previous Prime Minister in a leadership coup prior to that election. That previous Prime Minister was the person who then ousted her prior to the last election becoming once again Prime Minister before being ousted by the electorate. Both of them have now resigned from the leadership of the party, leaving the Parliamentary Opposition without a leader.
Oh and to make matters more confusing, the current conservative Prime Minister is leader of the Liberal Party.
Makes me want to blow myself up some days too...
