Everyone was, naturally, outraged. Most looked at it through a political lens - the stupidity of Congress in allowing the Assault Weapons Ban to lapse, the gun lobby's (NRA) insistence that they do so, the ever-increasing number of mass murders occurring in the U.S. and the apparent lack of political will to do anything about them. At times it seemed as though everyone was preaching to the choir. And that choir and those preachers were convinced that stricter gun laws were the answer.      assau;t weapons 2012-12-15T22:29:16+00:00 http://capecoddaily.com/blog/brainwashed-in-america-the-lies-we-are-enjoined-to-believe-a-christmas-stor/ http://capecoddaily.com/blog/brainwashed-in-america-the-lies-we-are-enjoined-to-believe-a-christmas-stor/#When:16:02:51Z TRB By TRB - In a way, this is a Christmas Story.

I must admit it is difficult to understand. But any political party needs a boogy man against which to run, especially a weak one. The Dems have always had one - the Republican Party and its various degrees of conservatism. But this time it is different. The Dems can't save them and the Republicans can't save themselves. In fact it seems a bit like "dead man walking" as we watch the conservatives on their way to the firing squad. conservatism, the fiscal cliff, the need to get along, the changing social landscape 2012-12-07T15:37:40+00:00 http://capecoddaily.com/blog/thanksgiving-and-thankstaking-the-era-of-false-equivalencies/ http://capecoddaily.com/blog/thanksgiving-and-thankstaking-the-era-of-false-equivalencies/#When:16:00:51Z TRB By Columnist - TRB - Are you a "giver," or a "taker," two catagories that many Republicans believe sum up the whole of the U.S. economy and its people? Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan believed in this view of citizens of the United States. As you know, it did not work out well for them over the course of the recent campaign. The definitions of these two types of Americans seems simple. A "giver" is most likely a wealthy man, who doesn't need or ask for assistance from the U.S. government. A taker is not a well-off man or woman. Takers need help, sometimes because they are jobless and poor, or they are single mothers working at minimum wage, or elderly and disabled. Sometimes they are military veterans broken by America's incessant wars. But these people only make up a fraction of the "takers." The shocking truth is that Romney and Ryan believe everyone who receives a regular paycheck from the local or Federal government is a taker, i.e., teachers, policemen, firemen, municipal and Federal government workers. In other words, a very large chunk of the U.S. population are "takers," people who have to be supported by Uncle Sam. In this definition, Paul Ryan himself was and still is a "taker." Romney, worth well over $100 million, probabaly would have donated his salary to his church or some charity - if he had won the Presidency.    The budget, taxes, entitlements, unemployment, the return of the union, 2012-11-20T16:00:51+00:00 http://capecoddaily.com/blog/senator-lindsey-graham-lacks-credibility/ http://capecoddaily.com/blog/senator-lindsey-graham-lacks-credibility/#When:17:34:24Z TRB By Columnist TRB - For more than a week Senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John McCain (R-Arizona) have been doing their best to drum up support for Congressional Hearings to look into the details of the terrorist attack this past Sept. 11 on U.S. personnel, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya in Benghazi, Libya. The Ambassador and three of his aides were murdered. At the time, the CIA attributed the attack to unrest throughout the Middle East over an anti-Islam film on the internet. U.S. intelligence also believed that radical Islamic groups used the "cover" of the public protests to mask their involvement in the attack on the Ambassador and other U.S. personnel. According to many sources and public statements made by members of Congress, U.S. intelligence operatives have said they held back the information about involvment of radical groups during their investigation because they did not want the group or groups to know they were being investigated. Accordingly, the administration's UN Ambassador, Susan Rice, was not told about the involvement of radical groups in the event and made several television appearances during which she discussed the Behghazi incident as part of the overall public demonstration on Sept. 11.

Romney, which was called for Obama earlier than expected on election night, when Romney and his vastly over-rated campaign team discovered their "arithmetic" was all wrong, particularly their understanding of addition. The second and more antique Presidential match occured in 2000 in which the hapless, but mean-spirited John McCain got his butt kicked by George Bush II during the primary. Eight years later and McCain was still licking his wounds and playing the class bully, when Obama sucker punched him in the 2008 Presidential match. Four years later Obama wins again, even though McCain campaigned exentsively for Romney.  Here's a hint regarding McCain's present frame of mind: In private, he is often referred to as "McNasty" by those who know him. In this month's Republican loss we have loser Romney telling his financial backers on a conference call that Obama won by distributing "free gifts" to his supporters. These "gifts," which Republicans are constantly trying to take back, are veterans benefits, breakfast programs for children, food stamps for the very poor, health care for the poor, for women, for the elderly, Social Security, loan programs for college students, virtually any form of federal government assistance for those in need. It makes you wonder how much Federal disaster relief Romney would have extended to the states of New York and New Jersey if he'd been President during hurricane Sandy.   Mitt Romney, John McCain, Susan Rice, Givers and Takers, Republicans, Democrats, Congressional Hearings 2012-11-16T15:42:08+00:00 http://capecoddaily.com/blog/obama-redux-warren-beats-brown-dems-gain-in-senate-under-performing-white-m/ http://capecoddaily.com/blog/obama-redux-warren-beats-brown-dems-gain-in-senate-under-performing-white-m/#When:15:52:05Z TRB By TRB - And let's not forget the enormous pro-Obama Latino vote, the Republican war on women, the crazy Republican who said if a woman is raped it is becauce God wanted it to happen, or another crazy Republican Senator who said women had special biologically built-in defenses against rape, i.e. they could reject the pregnancy-by-rape "naturally." Bush best-boy Karl Rove managed a corporate slush fund that doled out billions in cash to Romney and other Republicans and still they lost. The Republicans ran what many considered the most acrimonious political campaign in American history.    Obama wins second term, Democrates win more seats in Senate, Latino vote big, abortion rights win 2012-11-07T15:52:05+00:00 http://capecoddaily.com/blog/voting-against-himself-white-men-and-romney/ http://capecoddaily.com/blog/voting-against-himself-white-men-and-romney/#When:09:00:00Z TRB By Columnist TRB - Why would someone vote against their own interests?

Breezy Point, those blocks of homes in Rockaway mostly populated by NYC cops and firefighters, was devistated the other night by a hurricane wind-inspired fire, a monster blaze that totally destroyed more than 100 homes as the owners watched helplessly from the street. Hundreds of journalists interviewed the desperate victims, collecting as much of the tragedy as they could for the nightly news. Most had lost everything, in some cases even their cars in the fire, believed to be one of the worst in New York City's history. Global warming meteorologists called Sandy a "Super Storm," and one could not argue its tremendous size - 1000 miles long  and 1000 miles wide some measured. Traveling at 15 to 18 miles per hour with hurricane force winds it is still out there days after hitting Atlantic City - and coming from the East. Meteorologists described Sandy as a "Nor'easter with a hurricane wrapped around it. No one could remember seeing anything quite like it. Hurricane Sandy.
