Displaying 16,291 To 16,320 Of 19,504 Comments Man of Steele – Episode 23: “Black Kryptonite” They’ve totally outsmarted themselves! They thought they were so clever putting a black man in as their Chairman to counter Obama’s historic presidency…without considering who that man was and judging him solely on the color of his skin and not the content of his character. Now, instead of the RNC being able to get rid of him as their leader, they are abandoning the RNC and setting up their Whites Only version. So in the end, they are staying true to their instincts. » Posted By AdLib On April 5, 2010 @ 4:24 pm How about Palin-Steele 2012? » Posted By AdLib On April 5, 2010 @ 3:52 pm A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose … Cognitive Dissonance, Much? You just described the HP game which I decided to stop playing because it was completely pointless. BTW, not a criticism of you or our other members who still blog there, just a personal choice thing. I started blogging at HP in the “good ol’ days” and my motivation was very specific, I wanted to meet and converse with others who were politically concerned and wanted to make this a better society. So, the whole trumped up adversarial thing there which ended up taking over the course of blogging there appeared to me as a distraction from what my original purpose was in blogging. Thus, I beamed over to another Planet. » Posted By AdLib On April 4, 2010 @ 8:48 pm And you are a QT! » Posted By AdLib On April 4, 2010 @ 8:39 pm I’m surprised by people being surprised that people on the left can be as narrow-minded as people on the right. The whole political correctness movement came from the left. Many stories came out about about zero tolerance on that which led to huge travesties. Self-righteousness crosses all political lines and is as unflattering and nonconstructive no matter what party you’re in. » Posted By AdLib On April 4, 2010 @ 8:38 pm Once again Marion, bravo on another thought-provoking and challenging article. I wonder if the case for many liberals is as far in the direction you describe or a bit more superficial. It was a reality that Dems, especially the most liberal Dems wanted huge change in the course of this nation after 8 years of Bush. Certainly, the first black president symbolized that and Obama’s campaign contained many statements describing aggressive change (such as HCR, DADT, Climate Change, etc.). Was it not simply human nature that the expectations exceeded the reality? My proposition is that it may be just as wrongly race-focused to blame complaining liberals as being race-focused because they are complaining. It seems more like a somewhat unrealistic desire for wish-fulfillment going unfulfilled. And those Dems have been whipped up by the MSM and other blog sites that validate such a self-centered, spoiled sensibility. Did some people think electing Obama would make all of their long denied hopes and dreams about our society come true? I think that’s a big fat yes. Did some of those people respond with temper tantrums, like children who got many of the gifts they wanted for Xmas but not all of them? Yes. Is racial stereotyping responsible? Maybe for a “minority” (heh!) but I don’t know that it is for a majority. Obama’s race may have been symbolic for the desire for big change but the racial factor may end there for many of those who are dissatisfied. » Posted By AdLib On April 4, 2010 @ 8:28 pm Lise, thanks so much for the kind words about the community here. The core goal from the start was to have a blog that truly respected Freedom of Expression, showing that people can disagree and have a wide variety of opinions while still showing respect for each other. Those who have joined here have insured that it is indeed such a place. Two things The Planet is not, is an echo chamber or a boxing ring. People here have decidedly independent minds and views, we agree often but I never sense a hesitation from anyone to disagree on issues. In an atmosphere of respect, where disagreements are not personalized, there is no pressure, stigma, concern or any other reason that might dissuade people from honestly expressing themselves. Thus, as you note, people are comfortable to genuinely and freely express themselves. Though I am far from objective, I think this is indeed a singular community and I feel fortunate every day to be a part of it. » Posted By AdLib On April 4, 2010 @ 8:07 pm How Long Is a Piece of String?

» Posted By AdLib On April 2, 2010 @ 4:26 pm Did You Hear the One About Global Warming? Dust bowl…hmm…the Repubs will just call it “flood protection”. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 3:41 pm As for increased snowfall and rainfall…does it really take too much brainpower for Repubs to comprehend that if the Earth is getting warmer, more water is evaporating into the atmosphere and surprise, surprise, record snowfall and rainfall. I wonder how many of them honestly don’t believe it and how many are just promoting the corporate agenda. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 3:35 pm I was watching MSNBC yesterday and they had that goofball black Republican with round glasses on as a talking head and his first statement was that climate change is as hoax. Then he finished by saying the extreme winter weather that set records proves there’s no global warming. Uh…yeah…climate change only applies to warm weather. Guess an Ice Age would just be seen as proof against global warming. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 3:09 pm Teabonics: A Perfect Day for Fools Whoops! Can’t forget Stevie Ray Vaughan! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 3:39 pm Hey! I like Dr. Hogley Wogley’s too! BBQ and TexMex are the only two contributions to American society Texas has made, as far as I can “reckon”. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 3:31 pm Did you coin the phrase “Teabonics”? It’s hilarious! Or should I say in Teabonics, “Ittz heal-larry-us! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 3:00 pm You could never be late to my party! Thanks! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 9:33 pm Cheers BT! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 4:16 pm Heh! I’ve got a license to Make It Up. It was easy, you just make up the license. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 4:01 pm Heh! Thanks for being a good sport about it! Whenever you see “reason” connected with Republicans, it’s got to be a joke. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 4:00 pm How about Pelosi saying, “Now that I’m in charge, you’re going to get a real tanning!” » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:51 pm Don Martin would be tripping over his floppy shoes to read this! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:50 pm Excellent point. That struck me as I was editing it. I took out a couple of other elements that I thought might be a tip off but they were all reasonable things too. It is a bit sad to think that attributing reasonable decisions to Republicans would not only be news, too much reasonable behavior would strain belief. » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:48 pm I saw it anyway when you first posted…heh-heh! Cheers for sharing that though! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:44 pm I did, thanks so much! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:43 pm Thanks Nellie!!! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:42 pm Heh-heh! The tip off is that Right Wing Christians never have a come-to-Jesus moment, heck, they never even mention his name! » Posted By AdLib On April 1, 2010 @ 12:41 pmComments Posted By AdLib
