interestingly, prosser needed to garner 7,400 more votes to make kloppenberg inegligible for a state-funded recount.

fortuitously, they "found" just enough prosser votes!!

perhaps we need the un to monitor our elections!!!.

Wisconsin Republican Stronghold County "Finds" over 7000 Uncounted Judicial Votes!

These weren't "found" ballots like the left specializes in. They were ballots that had been omitted completely from a single city and was prior to the election results being announced as "official." The way the left does it is they find 500 ballots that no one has any clue where they came from and they always end up being 70-90% for the Democrat and it's aways AFTER the election has been called and they know exactly how many votes they have to steal.

To recap your foolishness:

Zero votes in a city which usually has over 10,000: Not suspicious.

An average number of votes with an average R/D breakdown for Brookfield, WI: Suspicious.

Justice Department must be called in!

BREAKING: Computer Error Could Give Prosser 7,381 More Votes, Victory

After Tuesday night’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election, a computer error in heavily Republican Waukesha County failed to send election results for the entire City of Brookfield to the Associated Press. The error, revealed today, would give incumbent Supreme Court Justice David Prosser a net 7,381 votes against his challenger, attorney Joanne Kloppenburg. On Wednesday, Kloppenburg declared victory after the AP reported she finished the election with a 204-vote lead, out of nearly 1.5 million votes cast.

On election night, AP results showed a turnout of 110,000 voters in Waukesha County — well short of the 180,000 voters that turned out last November, and 42 percent of the county’s total turnout. By comparison, nearly 90 percent of Dane County voters who cast a ballot in November turned out to vote for Kloppenburg.

Prior to the election, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus was heavily criticized for her decision to keep the county results on an antiquated personal computer, rather than upgrade to a new data system being utilized statewide. Nickolaus cited security concerns for keeping the data herself — yet when she reported the data, it did not include the City of Brookfield, whose residents cast nearly 14,000 votes.

Throughout the day Thursday, official canvass numbers flipped the lead back and forth between Prosser and Kloppenburg. While many believed a recount was inevitable, the addition of the Brookfield votes for Prosser could push the justice’s lead beyond the legal threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Under state law, Kloppenburg could still ask for a recount up to three days after the official canvass, but would have to pay for it herself.

“Waukesha County officials have announced a press conference for 5:30 CST.”

More details as they become available.

His radio show is loads better than his tv show, imo.

Yes. The TV show was too damned preachy, and the chalkboard thing got overplayed. THe radio show is more spontaneous and funny.

From what I have heard, this was Beck's choice and decision, not Fox's. He wsan't fired or asked to resign. He will do the show until the end of the year. After that hHe will still be doing specials for Fox news.

He wants to launch his own network.

This isn't actually true at all. Rising productivity in the United States at the end of the 19th Century, coupled with monetary deflation caused by the retirement of Civil War fiat currency, actually caused a dramatic rise in personal wealth for the working class in the United States. What we consider horrible conditions today are horrible, but they were much more common then as a high general standard of living couldn't be supported at the previous level of development.

The aforementioned period is called the Gilded Age for a reason...it is also known as the age of the Robber Barrons.

They created a new technology, made a new business style or created a new market. They added something to the world that didn't exist before. Carnegie created new ways of mass producing steel in such a way that railroads and skyscrapers became far more feasible. Rockefeller made transportation cheaper, allowed people to stay up after dark despite having little money and accidentally saved the whales by replacing whale oil with ground oil.
These men did FAR more to help poor people with their inventions and paychecks than any social program or welfare ever conceived. But because they did it out of their own self interest, some people consider it bad and something to be regulated or sometimes even extinguished.

http://www.amazon.com/Myth-Robber-Barons-Business-America/dp/0963020315

The Myth of the Robber Barons describes the role of key entrepreneurs in the economic growth of the United States from 1850 to 1910. The entrepreneurs studied are Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, James J. Hill, Andrew Mellon, Charles Schwab, and the Scranton family. Most historians argue that these men, and others like them, were Robber Barons. The story, however, is more complicated. The author, Burton Folsom, divides the entrepreneurs into two groups market entrepreneurs and political entrepreneurs. The market entrepreneurs, such as Hill, Vanderbilt, and Rockefeller, succeeded by producing a quality product at a competitive price. The political entrepreneurs such as Edward Collins in steamships and in railroads the leaders of the Union Pacific Railroad were men who used the power of government to succeed. They tried to gain subsidies, or in some way use government to stop competitors. The market entrepreneurs helped lead to the rise of the U. S. as a major economic power. By 1910, the U. S. dominated the world in oil, steel, and railroads led by Rockefeller, Schwab (and Carnegie), and Hill. The political entrepreneurs, by contrast, were a drain on the taxpayers and a thorn in the side of the market entrepreneurs. Interestingly, the political entrepreneurs often failed without help from government they could not produce competitive products. The author describes this clash of the market entrepreneurs and the political entrepreneurs. In the Mellon chapter, the author describes how Andrew Mellon an entrepreneur in oil and aluminum became Secretary of Treasury under Coolidge. In office, Mellon was the first American to practice supply-side economics. He supported cuts on income tax rates for all groups. The rate cut on the wealthiest Americans, from 73 percent to 25 percent, freed up investment capital and led to American economic growth during the 1920s. Also, the amount of revenue into the federal treasury increased sharply after tax rates were cut. The Myth of the Robber Barons has separate chapters on Vanderbilt, Hill, Schwab, Mellon, and the Scrantons. The author also has a conclusion, in which he looks at the textbook bias on the subject of Robber Barons and the rise of the U. S. in the late 1800s. This chapter explores three leading college texts in U. S. history and shows how they misread American history and disparage market entrepreneurs instead of the political entrepreneurs. This book is in its fifth edition, and is widely adopted in college and high school classrooms across the U. S.

How do we encourage the science of homosexuality?

by sabastious in

at one point in my life i chose to stop listening to my religion's advice to not research outside of their framework.

about the time i made that decision was when the gay marriage debate was going very strong; and still is to this day.

back then i felt like my state of california was leading the front on it to stop the bigotry and oppression once and for all.. it was a hot topic for me because i was questioning the bible and my faith so i started researching the science of homosexulality.

And yet it has brought us to the brink of disaster.

No it hasnt. We never had financial crisis of this scale back in the 1800s.

But then we got progressive woodrow wilson and the Federal reserve in 1913. Then we got Hoover and FDR the Great Depression and this now, Great Depression II. A dollar in 1913 bought the same amount of stuff as a dollar in 1813. Now? A dollar is worth less than 5 cents in 1913 dollars. It has lost more than half of its value just since 1985.

The banking system is pumping money into the system, which benefits the top 2%. The rest of us get screwed.

So do the banks control the government or does the government control the banks? The end result is the same. jefferson and Jackson warned about this.

OTOH, fair market capitalism gave this country a period of unparalleled prosperity.

Check your history. The greatest period of growth in the country was between 1865-1913. The greatest rise in standards of living in human history. There was hardly any regulation then. You would think the country would have turned into a medieval feudal fiefdom system by that logic, but people were beating the door down to get into the US back then.
