Displaying 361 To 390 Of 709 Comments I have to admit that you sound like my husband. Thought I’d let you know in case you were feeling a little lonely 🙂 » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 4, 2011 @ 6:20 pm When the Left Borrows from the Right Thank you Marion. As usual you are spot on. I don’t know what percentage of Democrats actually buy into the rhetoric from people such as Hamsher, Green or West. I do know that I had to set my 35 year old son straight and lead him to some informative web sites, such as this one. I am hoping that more and more truth-tellers are posting on these pragmatic web sites in order to counter this nonsense. I know people were pretty upset with Maddow and her remark about the President. The problem is these pundits never apologize or admit they were wrong. It’s really frustrating. But we can and I think should use Twitter, Facebook and blogs to get our message out. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 4, 2011 @ 3:00 pm Weekend Music Thread – American Independence Whoa! Back in the day. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 3, 2011 @ 9:16 am Yep. I was wondering what had happened to them and after doing a very quick search, I discovered they have a web site and seem to be doing some very positive things. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 2, 2011 @ 7:20 pm Take 6 – Star Spangled Banner
» Posted By Sabreen60 On July 2, 2011 @ 6:38 pm TAKE ACTION: Support MN Gov. Dayton in Gov’t Shutdown Over Taxing the Rich Adlib, I filled out my form in support of the Governor. Happy 4th (or almost 4th) Everyone! » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 3, 2011 @ 9:08 am Is All That Anger Out There Making You Mad? I care that the President is disrespected. Actually, I am sick and tired of it. From the campaign to the shouting of YOU LIE by Wilson to President Obama who stood on the floor of Congress. This President has been publicly disrespected over and over. Why is it so hard for these so-called media heads to say “President” Obama? No, I have had enough. And evidently so have a lot of other people. The “money bomb” for President Obama surpassed it’s goal, yesterday. I know I gave. In fact, I gave again when Sen. Roberts implied that Pres. Obama needed to take a valium aka “the angry black guy”. I gave again when Cornyn called the President of the United States a demagogue. I read that MSNBC received a ton of emails, calls and tweets. So yes, for many of us this matters. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 1, 2011 @ 8:58 am Sue My husband’s daughter, my stepdaughter has 2 in college and 1 getting ready to go. College is so expensive. Their parents work hard, but need a little help. They didn’t save enough for their kids college tuition. But then again, they were trying to raise 4 kids. The middle class is suffering. I don’t think they nor we had enough foresight as to just how difficult our finances and the overall economy would become. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 30, 2011 @ 10:23 pm Adlib: “It’s so gradual. Like the old story about dropping a frog in boiling water makes him jump out but slowly turning up the heat, he doesn’t notice and calmly is boiled alive. That’s a lot of Americans right now but some are wondering how they ended up in this boiling water.” Oh I so agree with you. No offense to Adonai, but I couldn’t help but think, geez come live in MY world. Shit happens. My husband has had a heart attack and a stroke. He’s recovered, but he’s not 100%. We’ve got grand kids that need helping (2 are in college and 1 is on the way). There is NO job security. We’ve saved some money, but it’s going to be tough. My husband really doesn’t have job security at 63. We really thought we’d both be retired by now. Shit happens. My husband worked for a company for 19 years that went bankrupt – no pension from that company. Our incomes flat-lined. I’m retired on disability. Shit happens. No! We all are not doing ok. People are living in tent cities and have been without jobs for months. Those of us who THOUGHT we were doing ok, are now realizing maybe we’re not doing as well as we thought. I’m angry because we have worked all our adult lives and for the last 30 years have so little to show for it. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 30, 2011 @ 9:14 pm The Radical Chic Pay Lip Service to the Poor C’lady: “And it’s starting to make me very cranky.” It’s start to make a lot of people cranky. More and more “pragmatic” liberal blogs are sprouting up everyday. Many liberals have grown tired of this “purity” test that we must pass. Too many good people who are working in the trenches to improve conditions for the poor and middle class are simply ignored. The PL could be such a positive influence if they covered many of the really great things that are occurring in states, instead of spending so much time of the GD “public option”. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 29, 2011 @ 8:37 am Never Mind The Dangerous Insipidity of Dan Choi I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment of Marion. I watched Choi on a couple of TV shows and I’m not so sure he’s ok, mentally. Now maybe what I have just written is a personal attack in your eyes. But if I said the same thing about Palin or Bachmann, would it be seen as a personal attack? Or would my comment be seen as a critique about persons who say things not based in reality. I think Choi is being used by Hamsher, too. They are trying to tear this President down and simply refuse to give him any credit. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 29, 2011 @ 8:47 pm Weekend Music Thread – Love and Marriage 🙂 Yep the Shirelles were good. I almost linked to “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”. But I thought – nah. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 25, 2011 @ 8:50 pm Going to the Chapel of Love – The Dixie Cups
Wrong Album Cover – Gaaaaa » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 25, 2011 @ 8:20 pm The Professional Left and The Big Sam President Check out the billboards on the buses in “certain” neighborhoods in DC. This is what some on the left are doing, right now. Some say Hamsher is one of those behind the scenes who initiated this action, with the blessings of Cornell West and Tavis Smilely. It’s hard for me to believe that they are not working at the behest of Republicans. I’m a Washingtonian who now resides in Silver Spring MD, so I know these DC neighborhoods pretty well. Northeast is predominately African American as is much of Northwest. They are targeting black folks with “Obama is a Republican” bullchit. I don’t often see RED, but I do with this. http://newprogs.org/primary-obama-ads-roll-through-dc » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 26, 2011 @ 9:01 pm The Daily Planet, Vol. One Hundred Cher, » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 21, 2011 @ 11:03 am Joan Walsh: Twisted Sister Punches Down Joan picked a fight on Twitter with the blogger “Angryblackwoman”. Joan came across as being insane, frankly. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 20, 2011 @ 5:24 pm Instead of Blaming the President, Why Not Learn Some English? I don’t think many people who are now living under Republican rule in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, etc. would agree with you that it makes no difference. I happened to have lived under Nixon, Ford, both Bushes and Reagan and IMO it makes a huge difference. I don’t recall any of those Republicans giving a rat’s arse about the middle class and the poor. Do you? » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 15, 2011 @ 7:08 pm No not because others may act like children. But working with others in Congress is paramount. If he has lost the respect of those with whom he must work, how does advocate for his constituents? » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 15, 2011 @ 2:26 pm Pictures. I really think that’s the problem. We know the Right is hypocritical. After all, Vitter the hooker guy is still in Congress. Ensign left just before the pitchforks. And sure they are others. The problem Weiner has are the pictures all over the internet. It’s so in your face. If people really don’t pay attention as closely as they should, then probably a lot of folks don’t know about Vitter. Of course the media did not talk about Vitter non-stop for weeks. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 15, 2011 @ 1:56 pm Absolutely. Check out some of the diaries on DailyKos; read Alternet; Firelakedog; Cornell West; Tavis Smiley, etc. Many of these folks represent the fringe, IMO. Some of them sound as bad as the teabaggers. I’ve read comments calling the President racist names. House “n”; Uncle Tom, etc. They are as sickening to me as the Right. They expect this President to ask how high when they say jump. They never did that to Clinton. They are ideologues and some, IMO are racist and I don’t use that term lightly. One example of their “purity” requirement is that they would rather have people go without unemployment compensation; no repeal of DADT; no START Treaty; no middle class and small business tax cuts to make a political point. BTW, Weiner wasn’t even “left” enough for Jane Hamsher of Firelakedog. I heard her said on Cenk’s show that she doesn’t “like Weiner’s politics”. And here’s an article about Obama hater – Glenn Greenwald. http://www.thepeoplesview.net/2011/06/drama-queen-101-with-professor-glenn.html » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 15, 2011 @ 1:47 pm Isn’t Weiner the guy who said something about the President not being a “values” guy. It always seems that people who throw stones shouldn’t even pick them up. If I were Weiner I would resign. Why? Because I wouldn’t think I had a snowball’s chance in hell of standing on the House floor and advocate for anything – without hearing the snickers. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 15, 2011 @ 1:33 pm Kanye West Doesn’t Care About White Women I have never listened to Kanye in my life. In fact, I admit that I don’t much about any of the current crop of singers/rappers, save about 2 or 3. However, I disagree with you that because someone is rich they can’t be a victim of racism. I don’t know anything about Kanye. But I do many black men, wealthy or not who can’t hail a cab in the wee hours of the morning. I don’t know one single black man my age and younger who hasn’t had some encounter with a cop – driving while black. I realize that I know very, very few black men compared to the millions of men. I have heard well known entertainers, including Oprah speak about the racism they experienced. Oprah talked about what she experienced on her road trip with Gail. She also talked about being followed around in a very upscale boutique. Just saying………. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 14, 2011 @ 5:39 pm A Viewers Guide to Tonight’s GOP Debate in NH Unfreakingbelievable. Rachel did a story about TN (I think, but am not sure) repealing child labor laws. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 13, 2011 @ 8:53 pm I think the winner of the debate was President Obama and he wasn’t even there. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 13, 2011 @ 8:41 pm I didn’t have the stomach to watch this ‘debate'(?) But I have read some of what the candidates said. This is Bush Redux. Get rid of regulations, including repealing financial reform; get rid of the EPA – let the polluters have at it; repeal health care; cut taxes for the wealthy. I didn’t read any solutions. Of course if anyone had asked Mitt about job creation, he would have to admit that the State of MA came in 47th at job creation when he was governor. He would also have to admit that his company bought up smaller companies, fired employees and out sourced jobs. But of course he made millions so I guess it’s all good. TPaw created 6,000 – total- jobs in 8 years so he can’t really run on how much he knows about creating jobs. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 13, 2011 @ 8:35 pm Weekend Music Thread – Stay Cool 🙂 » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 11, 2011 @ 8:55 pm I’m a Doo Wop lover. I have one that I bet NO ONE has heard! The lead’s voice is not that great, but hey it’s The Jesters The Wind
» Posted By Sabreen60 On June 11, 2011 @ 8:09 pm Absolutely ! I am sending it out via email and on other sites. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 4, 2011 @ 3:35 pm Here’s an ad I ran across and it’s not even from the left. I’d say Ryan et al have more problems than they are aware. It’s the second video. Athough the first video has Ryan running away from the cameras. http://swampland.time.com/2011/06/03/paul-ryans-ayn-rand-problem/ » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 4, 2011 @ 1:05 pm Well it does seem as though the Democrats are working setting up this interactive map. You can click on individual areas of the country to see the effects of Ryan’s Kill Medicare plan. I think this should go viral. » Posted By Sabreen60 On June 4, 2011 @ 10:04 amComments Posted By Sabreen60
