American Sniper: Brutal Honesty, Devastating Images; Unexpected Greatness

Good post Murph,I have not seen the film,maybe I should.Is there such a thing as a “good war”? as WW2 has been called? Was it really? I would argue that it made the war in Iraq just a matter of time.
Take a look at the facts,WW2 spawned the Iron Curtain,and subsequent Cold War.The USSR and America and their Allies divvied up THE WORLD.That ushered in a period of relative calm in the World. Then,as one talking head said at the time when the cold war was “won”That the world might view the cold war as the “good old days”
I tend to agree with that.It shifted the balance of powers in ways that no one could have predicted.I am still of the opinion that GWBs epic blunder in Iraq was a by-product of the end of the cold war.I take from your blog that ALL war is hell and is a crime against Humanity that destroys people’s minds,as well as the physical toll

Breaking News From the Future: GOP Still Denies Climate Change as Ocean Floods 18th State

Pathetic,really,even back then they had their big donors as their masters.This many years later,here we sit with weather patterns changing for the bad.It is not solely the US’s fault for this.But you could have led,but politics got in the way,sadly…
Good find AdLib

Watching “Selma” In A Nearly Empty Theater. Why?

People want to see things explode,or blow up real good.for the most part.Look at it’s co nominee,American Sniper.Let’s hope the Academy can see past their biases and reward merit over mayhem

Will 2015 Be a Good Year for Americans?

Great post Ad,I think you are right with your opinions on these subjects.I would add that the President is not going to go quietly into the night.I like what I have seen from him so far in his last years

Note to Police, Their Unions and The GOP: Blaming All Black People and Their Supporters for a Murder is Racist

AdLib,and they treat it like a political problem.This is very serious stuff that I don’t think is going away.It was good to see the Police walk back some of what they said and did to the Mayor.I am waiting for Eric Holder and the President to complete the Federal investigation.What they do either way is going to be huge.
And will no doubt play a part in 2016.I still don’t like your perpetual elections though.It impedes progress big time.

If Republicans Were Around During The Spanish Inquisition

Yes AdLib,are not societies expected to progress?The R’s are mired(most of them for political reasons) in the dark ages.It is what their brainwashed supporters expect,and greases the skids for the REAL power to lie with the monied and powerful.What situation better shows that than the riders to the spending bill were written by lobbyists?I hope that Elizabeth Warren and enough of the Dems in the House say a resounding NO to the bullshit.It is well past time for the Dems to separate themselves from the stupid ideas the R’s have that hurt the country.I am a little dismayed that the President did not come out a little more forcefully against this.I President is probably playing the hand dealt to him the way he thinks is best.Let’s see what happens

The Torture Report – An Organization Held to Account…But Not One Single Person

Far better than to try and cover it up for sure.I agree with you though,it will take steps like this to deter the next one that may harbor the same thoughts as Bush&CO.

Sorry to say my friends,but America’s reputation wasn’t exactly sterling in the world before this report came out.Who do we hear from almost automatically? George&D!ck!.The 2 most culpable for this whole mess,covering their asses.Sure it was good to get the report out.There was not a lot of it new anyway.Good Post Ad!

What Mandate? Obama’s Approval Rises as The Republican Congress Craters

Lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut! as the old saying goes.Gonna go and watch Tweety(Chris Matthews) I like the guests he has.When he lets them talk anyway! LOL

“overrun by uncastrated hogs” LOL! I say castrate the lot of them AdLib.This is all so tiresome.But like a train wreck,you can’t keep your eyes off of it,because it matters.It will be interesting to see the right tie themselves in knots trying respond to the President’s using what he has in his arsenal.The majority you are talking about are in no mood for more stonewalling by the soon to be the R’s control of both houses.
Quality post as usual Ad

The Ferguson Grand Jury Decision

I think the chance of an indictment are slim to none,and none just left town.Thankfully there are other investigations going on.Maybe justice will be done yet
