A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose … Cognitive Dissonance, Much?

I wasn’t aware that he’d made that ‘evolution’ towards a more peaceful approach, but the similarities between the 2 are def. there –

How I had understood it, was that necessities would have a lower tax rate & luxuries, a higher one ….
That & abolishing the many tax loopholes that the wealthy flagrantly exploit, seemed a good way to approach it.

Me too !! I’m in my office in Canoga Park & the building swayed big-time ! I just moved towards the outer wall while keeping a steady hand on my computer !
I was more worried about my computer being damaged than my bod 😀

Yes, ….but replacing the anger with rationale & peaceful out-reach.

Yep, I agree – I’ve had to watch myself & monitor my reactions. It’s easy to be led into a HateTeabaggeresque angry knee-jerk reaction, but ….that’s when I choose to go with humor 😉

I’m not so sure about the mid-terms, KQ – I’m hoping that the R’s keep doing exactly what they have been –
All we have to do is show the Independents how low the Right is capable of going – let them keep unleashing what their true colors are.
Kucinich : The one thing I wish someone would examine is Kucinich’s idea of dropping Income Tax – don’t know the full implications, but taxing expenditures rather than income strikes me as a whole lot less paper-shuffling & red tape ….
Anyone have some insight on this ?
It’s Sunday, so I’m letting myself off the hook, work-wise, for tidbits of POV 😉

I feel the need to add one thing :
Libs need to watch themselves re : HatePalin etc. –
My natural reaction to the horrid, uncivilized R’s out there is to laugh at them, would love to laugh with them, but that’s not possible.
& IMO, that’s where Political satire comes into the picture : witty ways of laughing, without hate, without anger, without malice.
To approach it any other way is to become FoxNews-like – Libs can do better than that.

That’s the ticket ! – I am so sick, no : SICK of the naysayers, the negative angry attitudes out there – so far, he’s done brilliantly, given what & who he’s had to deal with & the obstacles he’s had to overcome & surpass.
I too, love ! this administration.

I completely agree & that’s why I find Obama a master strategist – what every person (L or R) critical of where we are, so far, with Obama’s lead is not acknowledging, is that it’s Congress limiting the speed of Obama’s fulfillment of his promises.
I do like Kucinich & would have supported him, had President Obama not run, but it’s a step by step process & President Obama is doing a highly-skilled job of ‘playing the process’, integrity intact.

Marion, what a fabulous piece !! I agree & commiserate with every single thing you’ve written – only have about 2 minutes today (my co.’s busy season) but wanted to say I have a lot of admiration for your stance & for your superb writing skills –
Maher voted for Samuel L Jackson …..but methinks we got Sydney Poitier instead, and that refinement, that intelligent civility is what I’m proudest of in our President.
Is it remotely possible that we could invite a new civil Renaissance through our President ?
That possibility is what keeps me cautiously hopeful.
Great post !

How Long Is a Piece of String?

I think that breaking their vow of celibacy with adults would guarantee that they’d be ‘outed’ for breaking those vows ….& fast.
The fear they instill in their young, impressionable victims not to say a word likely encourages them to target the young to enable their particular needs for sexual release.

Oh, yeah, but then I let it go when I became one o’ them adults, they call ’em –

LOL – I remember having the nuns in school riding herd with us kids about integrity, honesty, no stealing, no evil thoughts, no dirty or sexy thoughts –

I got A’s in all the above, except dirtysexy thoughts (only once in a blue moon though) 😉

That mustered up an impish smile here too !

A nun for Pope ……def. we’d see that all change !

» Posted By LiseLives On April 4, 2010 @ 9:59 pm

Yesss – I forgot to mention nuns, absolutely right KQ –

» Posted By LiseLives On April 4, 2010 @ 9:57 pm

Yep, as long as it didn’t hurt anyone, especially the young & innocent –

Not to be glib, but I can only post a quickie right now.
Was raised a Catholic & there are a lot of good things I got out of it THEN – I’m now an agnostic.

All I can say in that quickie comment is what a poster at Huff quoted :
“”Abstinence makes the CChurch grow Fondlers.””
IMO, anyone wearing a vestment should be able to marry or be in a relationship.
It would surely diminish the number of priests who choose to release their sexual urges this way –
