Displaying 31 To 60 Of 4,640 Comments Another Money Making Conspiracy Con by a Right Wing Huckster Murph, are you ignoring me? » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 6:21 pm See how good you are! I couldn’t get one of them to play! » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 5:08 pm Thanks Murphy! » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 5:06 pm Murph, I hate to say this but on Costco is re-stocking their shelves of the book per Snopes. By the end of the day on 8 July 2014, Costco began adding a paragraph to their standard customer response indicating that they had reversed their position and would be re-stocking D’Souza’s America: Imagine a World Without Her: After we made the return, a documentary was released about the book. Since then there has been heightened interest by our membership base and brisk sales at locations still in stock. Therefore, we have made the decision to reorder the book.

Somebody else will have to get the video to play! I am old and Hot but not in Heat…..yet! » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 4:21 pm Monica in response to your last one to me: No problem with getting overheated now and again. We ain’t dogs, so when in heat, we won’t have puppies! That is something to be thankful for. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 4:16 pm Can’t wait to see it, Sherlock! I know it will be a good one because they always are. As you stated, we need to expose the crazy on the other side. That is why I always included the Right Wing Idiot Cartoonist in the Funnies. You have to see how those people are being dumb down. It may help in understanding why they are as they are. (Was mine grammar correct there????) Crazy are as crazy sees. » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 3:58 pm Monica, I had no plans in seeing the movie and I still don’t. However, I had no idea of the things that were in it that Murphy and AdLib have pointed out. Especially the Native Indians and how they were portrayed. I did hear something on the slavery but not as much as they have disclosed. Since my ancestry has Native Indian on both sides, of course, this false history ticks me off to the high heavens! I know now when someone comes out of the blue with “Those Native Americans are anti-American!” My answer would have been, “Where the Hell did that come from!” But, now it will be, “Oh, you saw that idiot D’Sousa’s movie. He is full of sh#t!.” And, I will take it from there. Anyone that knows me, knows that will not be a fun trip for them. I understand what you are saying and your points are well taken. Hope you can see mine, for all that it matters. » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 3:51 pm It’s okay, Monica, Murph watched so none of the rest need to. Sometimes we have to have one of us peek through the curtain to see what the others are up to, so, we can prepare for battle. D’Souza is an evil destroyer of history’s facts. Unfortunately, many believe him but they are the uneducated and don’t care to learn. I think we can out number them…………. » Posted By SallyT On July 10, 2014 @ 1:44 pm Could Hillary Clinton Become the Next Republican President? Thank you, TresL, for commenting and extending my comment with needed points and understanding from you. I can only add to the others that I am with you! » Posted By SallyT On July 12, 2014 @ 3:16 pm Appreciated, Monica! » Posted By SallyT On July 12, 2014 @ 3:13 pm And, may I repeat the same to you that I gave NoMan above. Thank you! » Posted By SallyT On July 12, 2014 @ 3:12 pm Thank you, NoMan! I appreciate the Right On and I know it comes from the Left. » Posted By SallyT On July 12, 2014 @ 3:11 pm Okay, I am late to the ball park here but, cyndibru, you have totally confused me. I can’t tell if you are for Hillary or a conservative looking to argue. But, if you are for Hillary, I think Hill would be asking about now for you to stop helping! You are not helping! If you are a conservative, well, you knew the reactions you were going to get here. I can tell you this, I don’t care if Obama was purple, I would have voted for him before McCain and Palin! Or Romney! » Posted By SallyT On July 11, 2014 @ 1:34 am Nirek, that is one thing about the Republicans, they do stick with their candidate no matter what. They did not like Romney all that much but they did get out and vote for him. Even the damn Tea Party. I will vote for the Democratic candidate right along with you, Nirek! It is too dangerous to sit it out. Think Supreme Court! » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 9:25 pm KT, I would love to see Bernie Sanders in the debates, though. I think he could bring up some good questions on where people really are and I love to watch him when he gets a little angry. His head rises on his neck and he lets whomever have it! » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 9:16 pm That is a good one, Kes!!!! » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 9:10 pm Could be, KT, but I seriously don’t think Bill or Hillary killed anyone! Although there are many that claim they have. » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 9:08 pm And, NoManIsAnIsland, I hope you saw mine about our noses that I left. I don’t recall the Arst name. My dad was a farmer and owned a commercial feedlot there. Long before they shot cattle with growth hormones and crap. He grew his own feed for the most part and never over crowded his pins. There were hundreds of head but dad treated each with care. They were to end up in market but I can assure you that they never were mistreated before they went by him. St. Joseph was a big Livestock and Stockyards town back then. He also raised Quarter Horses. And, was state champion 2 years in a row in Tractor Pulling! So, if your friend was in anyway involved in that, I am sure my dad knew them and they knew him. Like St. Louis and Kansas City, Portland has the same stronghold over Oregon. You can’t get much more liberal and Progressive than Portland, Oregon! Nice getting to know you, too, NoManIsAnIsland! » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 9:06 pm Hey, NoManIsAnIsland, we’ll stand in a circle and hold our noses. KT and I won’t leave you out! » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 8:43 pm NoManIsAnIsland, Missouri has changed a lot since I was there and growing up. I left in 78 but went back every summer while the folks were alive. Not anymore, tho. I am from St. Joe and it was very Democrat, as KC was. I know that there are a lot more Republicans there now. My Grandmother always said that 2 things come from Missouri, Democrats and Baptist. I think one of those is still true but I don’t know about the other. Hold your ground, NoManIsAnIsland! » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 8:19 pm I am originally from the Show Me State and I have to admit I didn’t know much about Oregon until I moved here some 30+ years ago. Glad to know that you are more aware than I was. Jeff Merkley is very progressive and a good Senator. He is in a tough campaign right now with a Tea Party candidate. I am sure he will win but it is getting rough right now. » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 5:15 pm KT and I agree with Bill Maher that Hillary needs to go away and shut up. Too early to be campaigning. I have my problems with Hillary. She said somethings in favor of GMO’s and you know how I feel about that. I even stated my objections to President Obama letting that Monsanto bill get passed once. But, he is much better his second term in that regard. I am defending the party, not Hillary in my statement. As apparently was missed in my original comment: I am right now, waiting and watching with most of my focus on 2014. That comes first and we need to keep the Senate and win the House. » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 5:00 pm Nice to see a Buddy! If it comes to that, I’ll hold your nose and you hold mine. » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 4:13 pm Well, excuse me, Mr. AdLib, but I was merely repeating you on the perfect stuff. And, may I also say that you certainly jumped on a comment of mine. I said that anyone running for office will have ties to money and the rich because of Citizen United. Even President Obama’s campaign did have Wall Street contributors. It is just part of the political system until changes are made. Yes, some do use it more than others. I at no time was defending anyone or their riches. I have defended Ms. Warren on other formats on living in a multi-million dollar house and having millions in income. She has written 6 books after all and she is entitled to make the money from the sales and spend it. I am sure there are some on here that know of my statements. It costs way too much to run for office now and that is not allowing a lot of good people to entry and seek office. That to me is a great shame. Perhaps if you read my comment again you will see that in no way was I defending the Clinton’s but apparently you assumed that. No, that was not the point of that statement at all. I was talking in general and about the wrong in our system as it is today. I do make mistakes and some have been costly. But, I do give my friends the benefit of the doubt and not expect perfection. If you were joking, AdLib, I think you of all people know this is not the time. » Posted By SallyT On July 9, 2014 @ 3:17 pm I have always loved Joe Biden and always will. He speaks from his heart and you know he means what he is saying. » Posted By SallyT On July 8, 2014 @ 10:38 pm Sherlock, I saw Brown on Real Time one night and I think you might be surprised at him when he is pushed. He didn’t hold back, no he wasn’t mean, but he made his point and the other guy shut up fast! » Posted By SallyT On July 8, 2014 @ 7:12 pm Kes, I like Sherrod Brown. Another that hasn’t been mentioned is Kirsten Gillibrand. Now, I know she once was a Blue Dog when in the House but not since she has been in the Senate. I found this about her: Political positions of Kirsten Gillibrand And, I do love my Jeff Merkley but no one knows us way out here in Oregon. » Posted By SallyT On July 8, 2014 @ 6:36 pm I like Governor O’Malley. » Posted By SallyT On July 8, 2014 @ 6:22 pmComments Posted By SallyT
I didn’t vote for President Obama either time because of his race. I wouldn’t vote for any woman just because she was a woman. Again, I didn’t vote for McCain just because he had a woman on the ticket with him. Now, I have never voted for a Republican for President and I don’t think I ever could. But, I will leave that as a possibility because I could be drugged and not know what the hell I was doing someday.
I voted for a Democrat and we got a good one! I haven’t always agreed with somethings he has done or certain people he has chosen or keep on his cabinets. But, that is far from calling him a failure. Disappointments, maybe a couple, but my disappointments doesn’t make him a failure either. I am not wearing rose colored glasses or blinders. I can see things in many directions. I am happy with my choice for President in the last 2 elections. I am sure I will be happy with voting for whomever the Democrats choose to run in 2016, even if it is Hillary. Nose holding or not. I trust our platform and after primaries, we’ll get the right candidate again.
So, again, I don’t know your angle here but if you are for Hillary….you are not helping her and you should stop!
In the House, Gillibrand was known as a conservative liberal or centrist, serving at the will of a conservative electorate. Gillibrand was a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, a caucus of conservative Democrats. At the time of her appointment to the Senate, a Salon editorial said that Gillibrand had developed a reputation in the House as “a hybrid politician who has remained conservative enough to keep her seat while appearing progressive enough to raise money downstate.”
In the Senate, Gillibrand is known as a populist-leaning liberal, as she represents a heavily Democratic state. In 2012, the conservative-leaning National Journal ranked Gillibrand and Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon as the two most liberal members of the Senate. Regarding the National Journal ranking, New York Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox commented, “Our junior senator has veered so far off the mainstream path to curry favor with left-wing Washington leaders that the average New Yorker can hardly recognize her anymore. Ms. Gillibrand’s candidacy has been a bait and switch: She ran as Calamity Jane but governs like Jane Fonda.”
