Personal Responsibility
Author: BobR
Date: 08/06/2008 11:48:06
Republicans have long claimed to be the party of "personal responsibility", saying that every person should be responsible for their own actions, and should not look to the government for help. They insist that everyone be accountable for what they do. But how well do they live up to that dogma?
The recent kerflufle over a speech by Obama on his energy policy is the most recent example of how poorly the Republicans recognize and support true personal responsibility. Besides the obvious "lie by ommission" of reducing a complex and potentially effective energy program to a single sound bite, they failed to recognize that keeping one's tires inflated is something that every citizen can do to help reduce the need for foreign oil. It's taking personal responsibility to ensure that we use less oil. They should be happy about that.
The education policies of the two candidates is another area that shows the difference. McCain's plan has schools competing for federal dollars and the best students (via vouchers). That puts the onus on the schools, not the students. Obama's plan, meanwhile, focuses on looking at each student as an individual, and provides tools that help each individual succeed. Success and failure is gauged at the individual (personal) level, not at a school level.
Taking a look at how the campaigns themselves are being run, the differences are stark. McCain's campaign has suffered numerous gaffes from the lobbyists that are running it. After Graham's statement that the country is a bunch of whiners, did we hear McCain take the blame? Did we see McCain fire Graham? As a point of comparison, the Obama campaign has released several staffers (such as Samantha Power) when it's been revealed that they said or did something inappropriate. Which candidate and staff members are exhibiting more personal responsibility for how their campaign is being run?
How many Republican congresspeople have shown personal responsibility and resigned or apologized when caught or indicted? Tom DeLay, Larry Craig, Mark Foley... they were all defiant, refused to acknowledge what they had done, and tried to weasle out of their punishments.
Even the left-vs-right media reflects the true character of each with regards to this. Bill O'Reilly has been a stain on journalism for quite a while, making disparaging remarks about children hostages and sexually harrasing his female staff, then denying the actions or the inappropriateness of them. Contrast that with Keith Olbermann who refused to let Dana Milbanks back on the show until he cleared up what appeared to be a deliberate deception by Milbanks regarding a statement by Obama. Which host is showing more personal responsibility?
Okay, in some cases this is more about integrity than personal responsibility. But aren't they different shades of the same color?
Part of personal responsibility is actually taking responsibility, not just paying lip service to it as a taking point. Physician - heal thyself.

Re: McCain at Sturgis....
Just heard his disjointed speech on the KO podcast.
Gee Senator, Obama wants us to pump up our tires? Well, I can do that for free. Your "plan" would cost how many millions of dollars?
Obama wins this round, too.
I love that bit from Barack..."They take pride in their ignorance!". Perhaps the most prescient observation of the NeoCon movement ever.

BobR,
I think that you make an excellent point in your post today - the GOP (Grand Old Perverts) have made a mantra out of "personal responsibility," but have acted worse than any "welfare mother" or any other false target that they love to rail against - Rush comes to mind, as do your examples of O'Reilly and numerous GOP congress critters. Good one, BobR - now go get yourself a donut :D

Well, damn! We don't need no stinkin' personal responsibility!
The government will tell us where we can go, what we can say, who we can marry, what our kids are going to learn, what kind of car we can drive, what we're not supposed to eat, what kind of gun we can have...
It's easy. Just sit back and let the nanny-state run everything, then we can all take pride in our ignorance then, because the government will know everything about everything and we can all go and be good Germans.
Sheesh.
(Sorry, a little of my libertarian streak creeping in there.)

Good morning.
And I'm doing OT today so I'll probably be skipping out during the 11 AM hour (at least I can still listen to Momma on the satellite radio machine now).
I really feel like I could sleep for a week, though.

Looks like its not only Colorado Senate Candidate Bob Schaffer ® whose troubled by his son's Facebook page.
From the Dayton Daily News:
University of Dayton officials said Tuesday, Aug. 5, they are considering charging student Justin Schaffer for a violation of the Standards of Behavior for posting offensive information on his Facebook page.
The 19-year-old son of Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer of Colorado on Monday apologized for an entry that had the words "High Five ... Who's Gay" over a photo of a waving Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. It also had a picture of the Pyramids with the words "Slavery Gets (expletive) Done."

That's what I've been saying for some time. Notice how a lot of these Republicans are getting caught in criminal activity and each new revelation convinces me not only that Bush and Cheney need to be impeached but thrown into jail and not let out.

It's not supposed to be sexy, it's supposed to be demeaning. In these circles, women are supposed to be sex toys, and being willing to submit to this sort of thing shows how much you're "one of the crowd"... :rolleyes2:

He died from swelling in the brain.
Now it's possible to point to deaths from... say... car accidents caused by driving while stoned, but no one is going to OD from smoking pot. I won't rule out going on a murderous rampage while stoned, but someone doing that likely would've anyway, regardless of the weed.

Actually, I can't. I've received tickets from the Man-Police in the past for being too sensitive and caring.
It's why I started drinking beer and publically scratching itches in the personal region, it was either that or go to man boot camp, and trust me, you wouldn't wish that on your worst enemy, what with the wedgies and towel snaps, and don't even get me started with the jock straps.
Or maybe that was high school gym class. I get those two confused.

Star, something even worse. Bad.Personal.Hygiene. I had a coworker who's offensive habits made him the bete noir of the entire department. He would clip his nasty, yellowed, horn like toe nails at his desk. Then he would remove the toe cheese.
:puke: :puke:
This guy also thought he was superior to 90% of all humanity. He had all manner of "health" conditions, high blood pressure, constant "heart attacks" & other manner of issues that required a forest of prescription pill bottles prominently on display on the top of his desk. The "heart condition" required him to have a Hoveround, which he would whip around at high speed not caring if he ran into people. Because you see since he was "disabled" it was the rest of who had to get out of his way. Funny how when he had to go into bankruptcy, he got rid of the damn Hoveround and had to start walking again.

The CACI lawsuit against Randi Rhodes has been thrown out!
I bet Randi is a happy camper today! I hope she can FINALLY talk about this case!!
The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Tuesday that a radio talk-show host's inflammatory remarks about a company which conducted interrogations for the US military at Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST news archive] were protected under the First Amendment. In 2005, CACI International [corporate website] filed a defamation suit in federal district court against Randi Rhodes and her radio station, Air America Radio [official websites], for comments that Rhodes made on the air accusing CACI of "among other things, torture, rape, murder, and misrepresenting its authority. . . at Abu Ghraib" and likening CACI and other independent contractors operating in Iraq to those "that operated in apartheid South Africa." In affirming the lower court's grant of summary judgment to Rhodes and Air America, the Fourth Circuit court explained that:The conduct of the military and its designated civilian surrogates during wartime is a matter of the highest public concern, and speech critical of those responsible for military operations is well within the constitutionally protected area of free discussion. ...Such a commentator must simply maintain a standard of care such as to avoid knowing falsehood or reckless disregard of the truth.

I see the loud talker and the totally annoying jackass and raise you the woman doused in bad perfume to cover the cigarette smoke smell AND the person who heats up fish in the microwave outside the Ladie's Room.
The lovely aromas! Cigs and cheap perfume
Fish in the office microwave? Bastid! That is pretty bad. Then there is the always spraying Lysol since she has not concept of evolution and resistant bacteria lady. Ick!

They wre given to us from FDR as part of a State of the Union address
Basically, they are Freedom of speech and expression, Freedom of religion, Freedom from want, Freedom from fear...
This was also the foundation that created the United Nations declaration of Human Rights.
I love Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. They are heroes in my eyes. Individually, and together.

Welll we call ourselves 4F around here for a few reasons... NOT just for the Four Freedoms...
The double entender is also 4F :Registrant not acceptable for military service. To be eligible for Class 4-F, a registrant must have been found not qualified for service in the Armed Forces by a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) under the established physical, mental, or moral standards.

:D
Which reminds me, what specifically are the four freedoms to which you refer? They aren't coming to me...
They wre given to us from FDR as part of a State of the Union address
Basically, they are Freedom of speech and expression, Freedom of religion, Freedom from want, Freedom from fear...
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want--which, translated into universal terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, excerpted from the Annual Message to the Congress, January 6, 1941
This was also the foundation that created the United Nations declaration of Human Rights.

She just read the end of it, where basically the appellate court said it was a Freedom of Speech issue and "CACI was wrong."
Being as self-indulgent as Randi is, I am sure that, although she is saying "I shouldn't read all of this," she will read it.

OK, THIS is just wrong. I get that Tomatoes are technically fruits not vegetables.
But according to that story, so are cucumbers, avocadoes, peppers of all kinds (jalapeno, serranos, etc), squash and string beans are ALSO fruits.
Who knew there were so many gay vegetables? (duck)

I'm honestly not meaning to make fun of you, but... what did you mean by "amborbus"? I can't find any such word.
I'm thinking you might have meant "omnibus", meaning "all inclusive", or "amorphous", meaning "not well defined in shape", or something else entirely.
(I wish there was a way to ask this without sounding like I'm being a dick, I'm honestly just trying to understand your full point, although as far as I can tell, I agree with it)

This is the point where Liam wonders idly what Random's age group is, given that he has a subtlety and occasional wisdom that would seem to indicate reasonably advanced age, but a sense of humor which would seem to indicate youth.
It is also the point where Liam wonders if there are any examples of Random's writing available to peruse. Liam's best efforts are mostly on his blog ( Liam Humor, if anyone is interested).

I hear, and obey, the will of Random!
I was looking at the Mass data....interesting that in mid-June, our undecided numbers spiked up to 13%, while at the same time McCain's fell to 30%. (While Obama's remained essentially unchanged....)
I really need to get the word out about Bob Barr! (not for me, but I'm trying to talk him up anytime the wingnuts-in-law are about...)

So did we ever get the results from McCain Skin cancer test? That seems to have dropped down the rabbit hole.
Comment by Random on 08/06/2008 20:28:20
Yeah, that drop was mainly due to Bob Barr (Because more than one poll came out, it actually went down to 29 << >>). Barr got 5 points, and I'm guessing the increase of undecideds are republicans going, wait, someone else besides McCain, I better look him up.
Now that i have this collection, I can show it to Donnie next time he appears.

Momma McCain Speaks out ... (regarding John McCain's Paris Hilton Ad:
Yes, roberta... your son did yet another kinda stupid thing. I wonder how she feels about the Miss Buffalo Chip contest.
"Oh, well, I didn't see it -- I think it's kinda stupid," she says. "I'm just too old-hat for it. In fact, the other two, I didn't even know who they were. I knew who Paris Hilton was, but then there were other two young girls..." (Someone informed Mrs. McCain that there were only two women in the ad, and that the other was Britney Spears.)
