The NSA feel like Creeps in the night to me.


Tinker

I wonder just how the people who look and seem like creeps in the night feel about their life, knowing that they have sold out their very soul to everlasting damnation. I suppose that they don't really care because otherwise they wouldn't live that way, right?

I keep hearing a lot of people who say that what they do just doesn't matter. And that seem to be a popular talking point that must have gone around the American peoples neighborhoods lately.

People who are atheists say stuff like that all the time, in fact they are fast to tell people who have faith in God, Quote: Just who do the Christean people think they are judging other people behavior, that there is no real God, and then they don't have a moral leg to stand on.

It is absolutely amazing to me how atheists talk about morality, when in fact they keep professing that they don't believe in Gods law.

Travel Deal
Craig Timberg and Ashkan Soltani, Washington Post
Posted: Saturday, December 14, 2013.

WASHINGTON - The cellphone encryption technology used most widely across the world can be easily defeated by the National Security Agency, an internal document shows, giving the agency the means to decode most of the billions of calls and texts that travel over public airwaves every day.

While the military and law enforcement agencies long have been able to hack into individual cellphones, the NSA's capability appears to be far more sweeping because of the agency's global signals collection operation. The agency's ability to crack encryption used by the majority of cellphones in the world offers it wide-ranging powers to listen in on private conversations.

U.S. law prohibits the NSA from collecting the content of conversations between Americans without a court order. But experts say that if the NSA has developed the capacity to easily decode encrypted cellphone conversations, then other nations likely can do the same through their own intelligence services, potentially to Americans' calls, as well.

Tinker:

Some of the other television personality's along with the many politicians also seem creepy to me, guys like Bill O' Reilly comes to my mind. O' Reilly look like a narcissistic horse's ass most of the time, always talking about how his factor TV show is leading the other network's TV programing like his - in the television ratings. Man go some place else with your reflection Bill, you look like a foolish boring blowhard.

You couldn't inspire a large number of people to vote for you if your life depended on it. So quiet criticizing your betters like Sarah Palin you creep, who in the hell do you think you are?

And that goes for Ann Coulter, Mike Huckabee too, who should also give it a rest. You self centered hypocrite, what make you think that you are different than the same old Washington DC Tweedledee/Tweedledum,

In fact the people that these three TV personalities keep criticizing are the very people who would really change the corruption in the United States federal government. Bill O' Reilly, Ann Coulter, Mike Huckabee seem like a joke that is not funny to me.

Now the speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner is speaking out against the politics of the Tea Party members who help him become speaker in the first place. Because the high tied of change was driven by the influx of the Tea Party members in the 2010 election. Wow! I am beginning to despise everyone in Washington DC except the Tea Party members. Tweedledee/Tweedledum was always the people corrupting the American people federal government. So I find it very enlightening for John Boehner to chose the sides against the Tea Party.

I also feel grateful to the Tea Party for helping me to identify the establishment Washington DC members in the Federal Government. Now I know who the creeps are by name.

Conservative rift laid bare as Boehner rips into Tea Party over budget strategy

Angry speaker says rightwing lobby groups have 'lost all credibility' after attempts to stir up opposition to a budget deal

The schism at the heart of conservative politics in the US was laid bare on Thursday when John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives, launched a stinging attack on the collection of rightwing lobby groups that hold sway over the fundamentalist wing of the Republican party.

Boehner, who was the public face of the disastrous strategy to shut down the federal government earlier this year, said the groups had “lost all credibility” in their attempts to stir up opposition to a new budget deal, announced this week.

Boehner’s comments suggest that moderate voices in the Republican party now feel emboldened to speak out against the strategy embodied by Tea Party-backed figures such as Ted Cruz, the firebrand Texas senator who advocated the shutdown in a failed attempt to hobble President Obama’s healthcare reforms.

Speaking in advance of a vote on the $1tn budget deal agreed this week, Boehner revealed the depth of the Republican dispute in unusually stark language, accusing Washington groups such as Heritage Action and Club for Growth of deliberately mischaracterising the agreement as a “sellout” even though it lowered the federal deficit.

“They are misleading their followers. They are pushing their members in places they don't want to be and, frankly, I just think they have lost all credibility,” he told reporters at a press conference.

Boehner has stepped up his attacks on the right in the past few days, accusing them of opposing the deal before they had even found out what was in it.

"They're using our members and they are using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous," he said outside a meeting of Republican leaders in Congress on Tuesday.

But as it became clear that he would receive sufficient support from House Democrats to pass the budget on Wednesday without the support of Tea Party Republicans, Boehner ratcheted up his rhetoric and revealed his frustration with the direction they had dragged his party this year.

“They pushed us into this fight to defund Obamacare and to shut down the government,” he added. “Most of you know that wasn't exactly the strategy I had in mind. But if you recall, the day before the government reopened one of these groups stood up and said 'Well, we never really thought it would work'. Are you kidding me?!”

He was apparently referring to Heritage Action, the activist wing of the Heritage Foundation, which first threatened to downgrade its “score” of Republican congressman if they voted to end October's shutdown, but then suggested waiting until 2017 to continue the fight against Obamacare once it appeared the strategy was alienating voters.

Heritage, led by former South Carolina senator Jim DeMint, has been similarly critical of any budget compromise this time around, calling Monday's deal struck by former conservative champion Paul Ryan “woefully inadequate”.

Paul Ryan Was 'Frustrated' By Conservative Groups, But Still Thinks They Are 'Very Important'

AP/The Huffington Post
paul ryan conservative groups
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) says he was frustrated with conservative groups that protested the bipartisan budget deal he helped engineer, but distanced himself from House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) public criticism of the groups.

The House Budget Committee chairman tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that these groups are "very important elements" of the conservative movement. But the Wisconsin Republican says discussions about these groups should be kept "within the family."

"I think John just got his Irish up there," Ryan said. "I think these groups are valuable. The way I look at it is this: They're part of our conservative family. I'd prefer to keep these conversation within our family."

Raise the minimum wage? Nifty, but . . .
 
By George Will
 




JewishWorldReview.com | “It’s not true that life is one damn thing after another — it’s one damn thing over and over.”

— Edna St. Vincent Millay

Liberals’ love of recycling extends to their ideas, one of which illustrates the miniaturization of Barack Obama’s presidency. He fervently favors a minor measure that would have mostly small, mostly injurious effects on a small number of people. Nevertheless, raising the minimum hourly wage for the 23rd time since 1938, from today’s $7.25 to $10.10, is a nifty idea, if:

If government is good at setting prices. Government — subsidizer of Solyndra, operator of the ethanol program, creator of HealthCare.gov — uses minimum-wage laws to set the price for the labor of workers who are apt to add only small value to the economy.

If you think government should prevent two consenting parties — an employer and a worker — from agreeing to an hourly wage that government disapproves.

If you think today’s 7 percent unemployment rate is too low. (It would be 10.9 percent if the workforce participation rate were as high as it was when Obama was first inaugurated; since then, millions of discouraged workers have stopped searching for jobs.) Because less than 3 percent of the workforce earns the minimum wage, increasing that wage will not greatly increase unemployment. Still, raising the price of low-productivity workers will somewhat reduce demand for them.

If you reject that last sentence. If you do, name other goods or services for which you think demand is inelastic when their prices increase.

If you think teenage (16-19) unemployment (20.8 percent), and especially African American teenage unemployment (35.8 percent), is too low. Approximately 24 percent of minimum-wage workers are teenagers.

If you think government policy should encourage automation of the ordering and preparation of food to replace workers in the restaurant industry, which employs 43.8 percent of minimum-wage workers.

Saban ready to 'start all over again'


December, 14, 2013
By Chris Low | ESPN.com
In Nick Saban’s mind, he’s starting over at Alabama.

Well, not really. But that’s the way he’s approaching it, which should be good news to an Alabama fan base that has come to expect national championships the way folks in the Alps expect snow.

While just about everybody else spent this week trying to discern whether or not Saban would bolt for Texas, he was out on the recruiting trail grinding away with the kind of singular focus that distinguishes him as the only coach in the modern era of college football (dating to 1936) to have won national championships at two schools.

• ESPN.com's SEC blog

This just in: He’d like to win a few more … at Alabama. But he also knows that this next stretch will present some daunting challenges.

“I’m looking at it like we’ve got to start all over again, that this is 2007 again,” Saban told ESPN.com Saturday after agreeing to a long-term extension with Alabama.

“We’ve had a lot of success here, but we’re going to have a new quarterback next year and lots of challenges. Some of the issues on our team this year had to do with complacency and winning too much. We have to get back to having the kind of character, attitude and competitive spirit that we need to have.

“So there are plenty of challenges here. I’m going to spend my time trying to fix those.”

Quarterback AJ McCarron, who won the Maxwell Award this season as the player of the year in college football, isn’t the only key component in the Tide’s historic run that’s leaving. Their quarterback on defense, linebacker C.J. Mosley, is also a departing senior. Go back and count all the clutch plays and leadership that both of those players have provided over the past couple of years.

“There’s going to be a transition,” Saban said. “When you have a new quarterback, you always have to see how he develops and what he can and can’t do. We’re going to have a good team, and we have some good young players. But it all has to come together.”

Saban concedes that the dynamic at Alabama has changed, but that’s just part of the deal when you win three of the most recent four national championships.

This will be the first time since 2010 that the Crimson Tide haven’t hoisted that crystal trophy at season’s end.

“The expectations are what they are here, and we don’t run around talking about them,” Saban said. “We created them, and we’ll handle them.”

LSU trying to curb obscene lyrics at games

Advocate file photo by TRAVIS SPRADLING -- LSU Band members urge the Tigers on during the fourth quarter against the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, Ga. Sept. 28, 2013.

By Lauren Myers
Special to The Advocate
December 15, 2013

LSU students who were shouting obscene lyrics to some of the Tiger Band’s songs during the Texas A&M game were surreptitiously videotaped by Athletic Department officials, raising questions about free speech rights in the university’s effort to crack down on the offensive behavior.

“It was kind of an impromptu thing,” LSU Associate Athletic Director Michael Bonnette said, and the videos were not necessarily taken to incriminate anyone.

“It was nothing more than trying to pinpoint locations and groups (who were shouting the obscene phrases).”

He said the administrators planned to talk with the students, but he was not sure whether disciplinary action could or would be taken against the students.

The rowdy conduct has been a longtime problem — even captured on national television broadcasts — that led the university to remove from the Golden Band of Tiger Land’s playlist those songs most likely to get obscene treatment from some fans.

But this year, in an effort to re-energize student spirit, they brought back the songs.

“We felt like … the atmosphere in Tiger Stadium hadn’t been the same this year,” Bonnette said, so they mounted a Tradition Matters campaign, trying to keep school spirit clean.

    SHAME, SHAME SHAME on The Advocate for using a picture of the Tiger Band instead of one from the student section or elsewhere. Tiger Band was happy to be finally allowed play certain banned songs this past season because those songs had always been part of Tiger Football tradition. Unfortunately the campaign to keep it clean and honor tradition didn't take and who knows if the songs will ever be played again. Using a picture of the band in this story was careless and thoughtless at best. Your newspaper owes the Tiger Band a printed apology.

    What the administration fails to realize is that the student section makes up lewd lyrics to ANY song. It doesn't make any sense to ban one particular song or stop playing new songs. Its better than having stupid midnight church bells, guns and roses and commercials blasting from the pa system all game long (or just having a giant Jumbotron like they do at Mississippi State).

    After my graduation in 1983, I wound up at a UofH basketball game with a friend. I couldn't believe what I saw. The place was totally quiet all through the game. It wasn't the mayhem I had experienced yelling "Tiger Bait" as the opponents walked into Tiger Stadium or the Assembly Center. I loved the experience I had at LSU. WE ALL get into the game and yes, kids will be kids. When they start throwing beer on the fans from the opponents, then I think we need some changes and people need to get thrown outta games. You know….like the Tulane fans. Until then….lettem be kids and yeah….they're gonna do stupid stuff….just like we did at that age!
    As far as the University goes. I agree with Austin and some others. When you start holding student athletes to the same standards as you do their fans, then you can do something about this. And seriously…..isn't it time for some of the administration to get that much needed Stickectomy?

    If the idiots in the administration would realize that by saying you can't do it, it makes people want to do it more, there would be no problem. Also if the athletic dept thinks "you suck" is a vulgar phrase then they need a reality check. Funny it's ok to have criminal records, have bar fights and curb stomp people, go to casinos with fake ids

    At the price LSU charges for tickets people should be able to shout almost anything they want --it's a free country, remember freedom of speech. People pay unusually large admission fees but don't have the right to cheer or voice their excitement -wow. LSU is getting worse and worse. Instead of writing the rules specific to an item the university wants to bend the rules to meet an item. Not showing a lot of university type thinking. But, it's okay to let someone break the rules as long as that person is a good football player, that person can actually break the law and get away with it. It is very lame, very lame. Don't want obscenity, then write "No shouting obscenities" into the rules and on the back of the ticket.
