Also, the work you’ve volunteered reflects your wonderful character. As you illustrate, I think the ability to weigh our values in the situations we find ourselves in is natural and ultimately a good thing. When it comes to respecting others’ rights, it has nothing to do with respecting them for their choices but respecting the rights all human beings should be entitled to. Just as with the right of Freedom of Expression, one proves their genuine respect for a principle only when applying it to speech that conflicts with their personal opinions. A right or principle isn’t legit if it’s applied conditionally. It’s easy to champion the state taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves when the people concerned are “good” people but when they are objectionable, that’s where one’s principles are put to the test. Your closing line is perfect. Indeed, that is precisely what makes us civilized. » Posted By AdLib On March 25, 2010 @ 3:04 pm No worries this time. We’ve switched to Pigeon Express for all of our deliveries. Just hope they don’t eat it all before it gets to Cher! » Posted By AdLib On March 25, 2010 @ 1:34 pm Hey! Project Genesis! KHA-A-A-A-AN!!!! » Posted By AdLib On March 25, 2010 @ 1:30 pm A very effective comment, Cher! Cheers to Marion too for her challenging article! I think we’ve all been in a situation where someone says something in earnest that hits a sour note and they nervously tag on, “I was just joking.” It is a way people excuse their saying things that are inappropriate. As for media folk who have branded her a satirist, they seem to be illustrating forced intellectualism. In a pursuit to show how clever they are, people can sometimes grasp for “unique” definitions or observations to essentially say, “I’m so clever I can see something most people don’t.” The reality is, it’s more often a case of seeing the Emperor’s New Clothes. My grandfather had a saying, “Sometimes you’re so smart, you outsmart yourself.” » Posted By AdLib On March 29, 2010 @ 11:10 am Have to disagree with you on this. I am somewhat familiar with satire and parody and I would disagree that Coulter practices parody or satire. According to Merriam Webster: satire » Posted By AdLib On March 28, 2010 @ 7:54 pm Hey Jesus, Are You Packing Heat? God enjoyed this article and asked me to pass along this comment: My son has never thrown a brick though he did accidentally toss some loaves of bread too hard that were a bit hard. As for guns, he did go through a squirt gun phase when he was a child, I remember walking into the Living Room and seeing wine stains squirted all over the carpet and La-Z-Boy. We do have a running joke about him returning to Earth heavily armed as the Prince With a Piece, “Love thy fellow man or I’ll blow your head off!” He’s a card! » Posted By AdLib On March 24, 2010 @ 5:20 pm Fixed! » Posted By AdLib On March 24, 2010 @ 4:48 pm The definition of cognitive dissonance, part 2 I don’t think the “Twit” will win. We’ve just had years of destruction under Repub-Lite Ahnold, will Californians want to accelerate the destruction? I don’t think so. » Posted By AdLib On March 23, 2010 @ 8:07 pm I think it’s likely going to be Mitt Romney for the GOP in 2012. And they’ll be holding their noses and alienating the Baggers when they do. » Posted By AdLib On March 23, 2010 @ 8:02 pm I mentioned below, the disconnect comes from being brainwashed. Remember that poll during the election that showed the more people watched Fox News, the less correct about issues they became? The right wing appeals to the simplistic, emotional reptile brain. Good or evil, American or Democrat, our way or destruction of the country. It’s easier for people to hear and understand, “Look for yourself, the horizon is a straight line, the Earth is flat!” than to comprehend the more complex truth about why the horizon appears as a line while the Earth is round. Then, add to that the narcotic of extreme emotions such as hatred and fear and you’ve got the political equivalent of crack. Once they’re addicted, even motorcycle accidents that bankrupt people don’t have a prayer against a mind that’s been hooked. Such people, in the areas that they are conditioned, are immune to reason, logic and truth. They have been given permission to hate and blame which makes them feel clearer about why they are unhappy in their lives and the only way you’ll take away that thinking from most of them is from their cold dead head. They are a minority, it does make sense to try and de-program those that can be but as your story points out, some are as committed to being brainless as a motorcycle rider without a helmet. » Posted By AdLib On March 23, 2010 @ 5:56 pm This is hilarious! Your sister and you have cut the legs out from most of these paranoid hypocrites out there. They claim to have a fear of government knowing too much about their private life but ladle it out on Facebook for millions AND the government to see? A disconnect like that is exactly what is consistent among the Baggers and other ignorant types of Americans. They rail against a government takeover of health care then yell, “Keep your government hands off my Medicare!” What this is, is conditioning. A form of brainwashing. Hatred and fear of a specific thing programmed into the brains of these people, untouchable by reason or logic. I think it is the same part of their mind where their belief in religion resides, they simply have accepted hatreds and fears from those they see as their political “ministers” and are fundamentalist about them. What they have been told is true about the government and Dems being evil simply is true and no one can convince them out of their “faith”. » Posted By AdLib On March 23, 2010 @ 5:43 pm Keep Your Head Low and Your Powder Dry I think that within months, the twisted momentum of hatred and lies will screw the GOP and Baggers into the ground. In the short term, negative campaigning works. In the long term, when people learn they have been lied to and dishonestly frightened and manipulated, they turn away. The Repubs screaming “Liar!” and “Baby Killer!” and calling Obama a Hitler who is trying to destroy America, they have invalidated themselves as being honest or rational enough to lead this nation and I think a majority will see it that way by 2012, if not by November. » Posted By AdLib On March 23, 2010 @ 5:32 pm I agree with Cher, it would be less ethical to allow seniors to live in fear and raise their blood pressure believing a cynical lie. The truth doesn’t belong to any political party, it is apolitical. Sharing indisputable facts that can make others breathe easier is respect, not proselytizing. Ya done good! Certainly, if the person’s response was to want to dispute the truth instead of seek the truth, I would have let it go, allowing them to live under the fallacies they feel they need to believe in. » Posted By AdLib On March 25, 2010 @ 11:52 am Looks like Pres. Obama feels similarly. From the AP: President Barack Obama mocked Republicans’ campaign to try to repeal his new health care law, saying Thursday they should “Go for it” and see how well they fare with voters. “Be my guest,” Obama said in prepared remarks for the first of many appearances around the country to sell the overhaul to voters before the fall congressional elections. “I welcome that fight. Because I don’t believe the American people are going to put the insurance industry back in the driver’s seat.” The White House suggests it has the upper hand against Republicans politically, arguing the GOP risks a voter backlash because a repeal would take away from small businesses and individuals the benefits provided to them immediately under the new law. “We’ve been there already and we’re not going back,” Obama said.

These provisions, especially the ones coming into effect this year and next need to be hammered into the public through November. » Posted By AdLib On March 23, 2010 @ 1:07 pm Today’s Historic House Vote on HCR – LIVE FEED AND BLOG 😆 I’ve never seen this, loved it! Thank your daughter for me! » Posted By AdLib On March 22, 2010 @ 9:42 pm Heh! “It’s only a flesh wound!” » Posted By AdLib On March 22, 2010 @ 8:55 pm I don’t know how you can reason with people who don’t want to live in the present or reality. Whining about what should have happened is as deluded as Repubs claiming death panels. There are no time machines, the America we are living in now has HCR passed. The whiners’ choice is to either work constructively towards adding a PO and Single Payer in the days ahead or throwing themselves on the floor and continuing a tantrum that is getting more irrelevant and pathetic every day. » Posted By AdLib On March 22, 2010 @ 9:45 am Cheers back to you, BT. It has been historic and an affirmation that hope and change are indeed more than slogans. Wonder if Palin will again mock the majority of American voters with “that hopey changey thing”? » Posted By AdLib On March 21, 2010 @ 10:19 pm We are so lucky to have you and be able to share this night with you! Good night…make that great night! » Posted By AdLib On March 21, 2010 @ 10:15 pm See you later, Kalima! Have that glass of bubbly at lunch! » Posted By AdLib On March 21, 2010 @ 10:11 pm The MSM, the GOP, the CoC, the Insurance Companies, the lobbyists opposing HCR, all have great health care. They are all hypocrites and despicable for opposing health care for millions of others. » Posted By AdLib On March 21, 2010 @ 10:10 pm Night KQ! Can you believe this really happened?! Sleep well my friend, you deserve it!!! » Posted By AdLib On March 21, 2010 @ 10:06 pmComments Posted By AdLib
