maybe the education thing wouldn’t be as big a problem if you christian rednecks weren’t raising your kids to believe that evolution is bullshit and that all scientists are liars and work for the devil.

Most, but not all Christians understand that science was created and used by God to create the universe. However, the education issue has nothing to do with “inflammatory’s” remark about evolution. Home Schooling is so far ahead of NM public schools it’s not funny. Home Schooling was initiated by Christians, but it caught on and has a wide spread following today. Mullins is right on target about education, and Sanchez is correct about low expectations. Nice job you guys!

Sanchez is an idiot. NM has a high rate of public employees because of national programs like Sandia and Los Alamos, etc. These people are not a bunch of Richardson lackeys but are hard-working government employees with legitimate jobs. If he knew anything about NM (or was not just trying to score cheap political points), he would never say something like this.

“Fire ‘em all” is a great approach to dealing with high unemployment in years of recession.

Mullins is a petroleum engineer and thinks the EPA should have less of a say in regulating pollution and environmental contamination? No conflict of interest there.

“The carbon dioxide that comes out of your mouth is not a pollutant. In my opinion, it’s plant food.” One difference, smartypants Mullins, is that there is nothing we can do about the CO2 that comes out of our mouths, but there is something we can do about what pours out of coal-fired power plants. These are in no way equivalent. Again, Conservative Republican candidates’ claim fail to pass the sniff test.

another forum for BS politics, NM is a very large state with a small population, and that requires a larger percent of public employees to maintain services. Somehow I don’t think laying off public employees is going to help with unemployment or bring in additional revenue as roads and services degrade, as for education, clearly people making these statements are lacking some of the fundamentals only proving the need for better education. Easy to say cut gov spending but what are you willing to without? police? fireman? roads? water? sewer and garbage? what we can without is foolish politicians with one line solutions that go nowhere.

I get so sick of the two faced GOP crap being sprouted all the time. The recession is here because of THE GOP.

It started back when Regan drove the budget out of whack and has continued in the red all through any GOP administration. Clinton managed to balance a budget, something Shrub never came close to doing.

Well of course, everything is the GOPs fault right? Global warming, economic recession, wars, pestilence, hurricanes. And the Liberal democrats are always right, right?

i was under the impression that the GOP doesn’t think climate change is real, though well-documented. tax cuts for the rich eliminates the middle class and their surplus money disabling economic fluidity. spending trillions of dollars on war isn’t being conservative and the mobilization of forces was set in motion by a republican president less than one year after being elected. and when you know a hurricane is coming and don’t do anything about it until a week after it hits, you are culpable for the damage. as far as pestilence, your god seems to be at the root of that one.

though it does tie back into the climate change issue…

INFLAMMATORY gives a half truth with “i was under the impression that the GOP doesn’t think climate change is real, though well-documented.” The half of the truth is liars have fabricated documents, discarded hard science that explains temperature changes such as those that occurred during the middle ages, ignored the facts that show the relationship between temperature change and CO2, and the actual benefits of a degree or two of global warming.

More than 15,000 people of science have said man caused global warming is not true, the UN has admitted it’s report is inaccurate and overstates the potential of problems, the High Court in England found 7 or more significant errors in Al Gore’s movie making it a work of fiction. In The UK if the movie is shown to school kids they are told of the errors and given a fact sheet explaining them.

ONCE AGAIN… how much of a person’s earnings should they be allowed to keep for them self and their family?

If a person pays 10-20-30 percent more in income taxes than another, should they get 10…percent more services?

for a christian you seem very concerned with yourself and seem to not give a shit about your fellow man. are you familiar with the teachings of this person you claim to emulate? yeah jesus said to make sure the poor people don’t get too much help. the tax cuts referenced are for people that make more than 250000, not exactly taking food off your table. i guess if you use a big enough needle, you can get anything through it. i’ll capitalized whatever i want to. al gore is not a climate scientist. ask the polar bears about the ‘benefits’ of a degree or two change. everyone shares the planet, get with the program. your god didn’t give you the planet, he’s dead.

Inflammatory, Grammar rules aside, You are very capable of towing the democratic party line. I’m especially impressed with your ability to bring religion into every political argument. As an atheist myself, I would have no problem if all religions disappeared, but sadly they aren’t going anywhere, so there is no need to bring more discrimination over them into the world. Grow Up. Realize that everyone has their own views. Secondly, Please have an original thought. Everything you say sounds like a TV ad from the last presidential election. I have yet to meet a Democrat who understood economics. Maybe that’s why so many of you seem to feel like you’re some kind of Robin Hoods helping the poor by yelling louder than the next guy, unfortunately talk is cheap, it does’nt accomplish anything. If you think that government spending is at acceptable levels, just take a five minute look at any government agency. I think its quite obvious they have no idea how to properly use money.

original or not, they stand as true. yeah spend, trillions on wars and then say the people spending billions (trying to help the economy you destroyed)are financially irresponsible. not a dem. just see their points. if you don’t make more than $250,000 a year, they aren’t representing you, they’re fooling you. i love paying taxes and would love to pay more if it will help fix things like the healthcare/insurance issue, because thats what tax dollars are for, not for giant no bid contracts to war profiteers. not robin hood, just concerned about my fellow man. if you don’t want religion in the conversation, you might want to speak with your GOP talking heads. you’re allowed to have your own views, but not if they establish, through governance, any religious viewpoint. the only reason we are in these wars is because your boy bushy felt like he was doing god’s work(his words). a multi-trillion dollar war for religion(and oil). that is terrorism. it undermines the fundamental core of our governmental philosophy. sadly the ones who commit these attrocites are not the ones who suffer their ill-conceived effects. that is put upon the soldiers fighting overseas and the victims of 9/11. as though that wasn’t bad enough, they then parade their sacred memories around as tools of their propaganda, trying to disguise the fact that they themselves are culpable for the death, pain, and suffering. you align yourself with these people?

INFLAMMATORY, your demonstrated lack of respect aside with your ‘up yours’ ignorant mis-use, or deliberate ignoring the rules of grammar, you spout what is not true. Implied in your “ask the polar bears about the ‘benefits’ of a degree or two change.” is that infamous picture of a bear on an ice floe and the mantra of the know-nothing left, that polar bears are dying off because of “climate change, global warming.”. The following provides a scientific look at the stats for the polar bear which has an overall increase in population with declines in certain sub-groups.

“In a news release issued after its conference last July, the PBSG [Polar Bear Study Group] concluded that only one of 19 total polar bear subpopulations is currently increasing, three are stable and eight are declining. Data was insufficient to determine numbers for the remaining seven subpopulations. The group estimated that the total number of polar bears is somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000. (Estimates of the population during the 1950s and 1960s, before harvest quotas were enacted, range from 5,000 to 10,000.)

However, the PBSG quickly acknowledged that “the mixed quality of information on the different subpopulations means there is much room for error in establishing” the numbers, and “the potential for error, given the ongoing and projected changes in habitats and other potential stresses, is cause for concern.”

I don’t know what is funnier: listening to the GOP talk about economics and fiscal restraint or listening to Democrats talk about peace and diplomacy.

I wonder if the Lobo ever published a headline that began “NM Democrats Spout …”

INFLAMMATORY, my Libertarian principles tell me too bad for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan who were brutalized by the people in power. Not my job to go there and remove from power evil men. But Human Rights Watch, the UN and others documented the rape of school girls by Saddam’s son, the ultra brutal murders done in public by those in power against those who dared to exercise the free speech and dissent rights we have. I also have Conservative beliefs. They tell me it is wrong to not speak out and act against evil when possible. Let them die or step up to the plate; what is a man to do?

I understand the freedom found in our country comes to us from “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God…” as written in the Declaration of Independence, and ‘the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” written in the preamble to the Constitution. And the blood shed to establish and defend such principles. You can write what you wish because freedom of speech is a right that is an inheritance from the Creator, not a right to be controlled by a government.

close, but no banana. i’m pointing out your hypocrisy.

Poor Howel, he has not heard that “climategate” was much ado about nothing:

An independent British report into the leak of hundreds of e-mails from one of the world’s leading climate research centers has largely vindicated the scientists involved . . . The inquiry by former U.K. civil servant Muir Russell into the scandal at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit found there was no evidence of dishonesty or corruption in the more than 1,000 e-mails stolen and posted to the Internet late last year. . . . “We find that their rigor and honesty as scientists are not in doubt. . .”

Howel’s posts are so confusing.

He reverently cites the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. But later in the same post he writes:

EUGENE, I shall speak to you last posting first and to your earlier later. Is it not reasonable to say INFLAMMATORY’s position comes from a moral place? He does reference the teaching of Jesus in this “for a christian you seem very concerned with yourself and seem to not give a shit about your fellow man. are you familiar with the teachings of this person you claim to emulate? yeah jesus “ That is what I spoke to, not the legal of the taxing powers found in the Constitution.

“Does the U.S. Congress not function with our consent? Are we living in a dictatorship? Is Howel advocating treason against our government?“ask you EUGENE. How absurd! My explanation was made, as you well know, in the context of showing the stark differences between our government and those of Saddam and the Taliban..

INFLAMMATORY, among the junk stuff you injected is the issue of religion. You brought it into the discussion, not me. Why?

You also chanted another mantra of the left with this, “war for religion(and oil)..” What oil has the USA gotten from our freeing the people of Iraq that we could not have bought in the free marketplace?

MR. PH, dude, haven’t you figured it out yet? this flamatory and gene person is one and the same, and probably a teenage high school girl, considering the level of discourse and propensity to immediately to revert to high school level of invective. In other words you’re arguing with an idiot and it threatens to rub off.

Just sayin’

Sloppy Democrats in New Mexico

Are liberals just sloppy by nature? One could make a fairly strong case for that without ever having to go outside the 2500 plus pages of that Obamapeloozi of a health care bill, but just for fun, let’s do with their latest example of “Whoops! Did we really do that?”
