I don’t think I will become one however! » Posted By Artist50 On April 19, 2011 @ 3:35 pm You mean those nasty people who leech off our society and drag it down – why do we put up with them? It’s like up is down and black is white – what world are we living in? Remember when all little boys wanted to be a hero firefighters and girls wanted to be teachers? God please don’t tell me they want to grow up to be Paul Ryan? I’ll just shoot myself now!!! » Posted By Artist50 On April 19, 2011 @ 3:32 pm Wonderful peice, thank you for sharing part of your religion with us, Cher. No matter what one believes, I think most people are looking for spirituality. Raised as a Presbyterian I always rather envied the Catholics their beautiful churches and rituals, but each family establishes their own traditions that become important to them. I think many yearn for that sense of community a church provides your family, yet politically this has become a hot button for the Democratic Party. Such a shame to me – we are suppose the party of inclusion. » Posted By Artist50 On April 19, 2011 @ 3:17 pm A Letter to the Arizona Legislature Khirad – Great article, will we ever put this behind us? Your best line, “It’s a dry kind of hate”. » Posted By Artist50 On April 18, 2011 @ 9:09 am We do appreciate it – we may forget to tell you, but you make it so easy for us to read the news. Thanks Cher! » Posted By Artist50 On April 18, 2011 @ 5:01 pm Weekend Music Thread – The Poetry of Music You’re making me nostalgic KT… » Posted By Artist50 On April 16, 2011 @ 7:40 pm I always cry when hear this song – it’s the song my son chose to dance with me at his wedding. » Posted By Artist50 On April 16, 2011 @ 7:36 pm Secrets From Beyond The Emerald Curtain – PART 3 – Truth – Very good point about the headlines in this article and I have also noticed that they haven’t been as flagrantly false and misleading since the takeover. I like your point about the people going straight to the “battlefield” which would always become obvious from their comments. I’m so glad I found this site because I had tired of the negativity of HP, but what does the future hold if only a few companies own all the media and the masses are so easily manipulated? » Posted By Artist50 On April 15, 2011 @ 9:40 pm The Top PlanetPOV Posts of 2010! Congratulations everyone – I’m still reading through the posts! What a special group of people you are and thank you for making this a place a want to come to day after day! » Posted By Artist50 On April 18, 2011 @ 4:30 pm The United States vs. Barry Bonds … a $5 million witch hunt? Interesting article – first let me say I’m not particularly a baseball fan. It just seems ludicrous to me that our “Congress” has the time and money to devote to steroid use in baseball – what a waste, as well as, why is this the governments business? And then to proceed with these inane trials is beyond me. I said yesterday and I will repeat, this should be paid for by the players association or somehow sports should be policing themselves, but my tax dollars should not be paying for these overpaid athletes and their drug problems. » Posted By Artist50 On April 14, 2011 @ 3:51 pm Oh Cher you made me laugh – I have a 5 lb Shih-Tzu/ Maltese mix and I think he does this before he wakes me up with little wet kisses in the morning. When people ask what breed he is I always respond, “Little Shit”. » Posted By Artist50 On April 14, 2011 @ 11:56 am The Country We Believe In–Transcript Did anyone watch O’Donnell yesterday where he said this Ryan plan was a Republican goal since Reagan to dismantle the government? What did you think of that? » Posted By Artist50 On April 14, 2011 @ 5:54 pm WATCH LIVE: Pres. Obama Speaks On Fiscal Policy – 10:35 am PDT AdLib – I pray you’re right, it makes so much sense to me and then I listen or read the RW blogs and I’m astounded how far apart we are. I can’t believe anyone would believe Ryan’s plan for Medicare will work. I can’t get insurance at my age for pre-existing conditions and they think insurance companies are going to voluntarily insure 80 year olds? » Posted By Artist50 On April 13, 2011 @ 7:47 pm It was awful – you were right to » Posted By Artist50 On April 13, 2011 @ 1:14 pm We appreciate it! » Posted By Artist50 On April 7, 2011 @ 4:44 pm So he’s brought attention to himself, which he lives for, I don’t see how going for the far right can get him anywhere. They have no one else to go to just like our far left candidates, and they can’t get elected in the general election. If he’s serious why isn’t he going after the middle where it’s going to be won? » Posted By Artist50 On April 7, 2011 @ 4:41 pm I think it’s ignorance Cher – I don’t think they know what the Republicans want – they are far too trusting and don’t pay attention until it’s too late. Do you really think the man on the street knows what Ryan wants to do with Medicare and Medicaid? And yet has anyone seriously talked about Defense spending? » Posted By Artist50 On April 7, 2011 @ 4:24 pm Americans Can Lose Weight By Doing Nothing (Really!) Raging – only chocolate will help – often in large quantities. A girl has to do what a girl has to do! » Posted By Artist50 On April 7, 2011 @ 6:13 am Adonai- whatever job you have if you’re “good” I would say you are probably influencing those around you in a positive way, therefore you’re not “good for nothing”. If you are a teacher or a nurse your influence would have a far greater impact but just being a fair small town merchant that treats his employees and customers with integrity can be a force or role model for good. We aren’t all going to be activists or ministers, listening to a friend or stranger in need is a “good” act. » Posted By Artist50 On April 12, 2011 @ 7:32 pm KT – I feel like I’m listening in to your conversation with Kalima. I also married very young and we stayed married for almost 30 years, most of it happily. He remarried a friend of mine (she had nothing to do with our break up) and we are good friends. Most people don’t understand that relationship but we shared a lifetime together, two sons and now grandchildren, how could we not remain friends? We literally grew up together but also grew apart as our sons moved away. I’ve had another long term relationship but I understand your feelings of contentment in solitude, even though others don’t. I like where my life is now. » Posted By Artist50 On April 12, 2011 @ 7:00 pm KT. – I think that balance is needed for a good marriage, which is the best place ( but not the only) place to raise children who are introspective and try to leave the world a better place. » Posted By Artist50 On April 12, 2011 @ 6:41 am It’s interesting that it’s not my sister’s success, but her husbands, but her identity is tied up with that. Unlike KT’s brother she isn’t generous, not that I want or need her money, but her politics has overtaken her. It’s as if she’s not the same person and actually I feel a morally wrong speaking ill of her, speaking of the topic at hand. » Posted By Artist50 On April 11, 2011 @ 7:38 pm I don’t really care where people get their morality I just want to live in a world where people have “it”. Somehow I think even as children we know what “it” is – we may choose to disregard what we know is right like standing up to the bully as a kid or shoplifting as a teen-ager. These dilemmas prepare us for the big ones like cheating on our spouses and leaving the scene of an accident. It starts young but we work on ourselves everyday. » Posted By Artist50 On April 11, 2011 @ 7:26 pm I’ll have to do some reading. My sister is obsessed with material goods – she doesn’t understand why some people are happy with what they have (me). Obviously, she’s as right as I am left. We are ying and yang and often don’t get along. It used to hurt me because I know that she looked at me as a failure, yet she’s not worked since her husbands been out of med school and I’ve had my own business and had several interesting jobs and taken care of myself for quite sometime. It’s all perspective. » Posted By Artist50 On April 11, 2011 @ 7:13 pm KT – At the risk of being sexist, I must note that Adonai makes a point that the age when most adults “get it” is in their late 20’s. I think most women are spiritually and morally more aware than men earlier because we are already imparting values on to our children at that age, especially women in my generation. Many women married out of high school or certainly right out of college – by my late 20’s I had two children in school – I was already responsible for their moral upbringing. At the same time, no offense to my ex-husband, though he provided for us financially I look back and realize how incredibly immature he was. Perhaps that’s because I had no choice but to grow up or maybe there is a difference between the sexes, but I saw this pattern often with young couples. » Posted By Artist50 On April 11, 2011 @ 7:02 pm I love your sense of humor Kes! » Posted By Artist50 On April 4, 2011 @ 12:51 pm While you go polish your crown, can I be under the Secretary of Vice? » Posted By Artist50 On April 2, 2011 @ 9:30 pm Southern Discomfort – Code Red I lead a sheltered life in a small town in Indiana that had several black families in the community that were excepted and an important part of our town. In 1965 we had a black class president, in the late 60’s we had several black cheerleaders, and that was at a time where other towns were having riots in their high schools. I don’t quite know why we were different, certainly there were racists amongst us – but for some reason these families were well known and accepted. I grew up with very open-minded parents that encouraged free thinking which was not true of many of my friends. I never heard my father say a derogatory word against black man. As a young teen-ager when I was old enough to become interested in the news and my father encouraged us to be able to discuss it at the dinner table, my bubble was burst. I never imagined everyone didn’t have towns like ours. I was shocked to learn there were separate drinking fountains in the South. I never dreamed things were so different than where I lived. Those were the roots of my liberalism – learning of lynchings and the Klan and finding out that hate happened right here in my state. » Posted By Artist50 On April 3, 2011 @ 9:10 pm Free Speech and Commenters’ Experiences at The Huffington Post Greta – this is more than a site where people seek and share information on posts, it’s a community of friends – with lots of different opinions, from around the world where people feel comfortable sharing a piece of themselves. It’s quite remarkable – welcome! » Posted By Artist50 On April 4, 2011 @ 9:24 amComments Posted By Artist50
