Displaying 421 To 450 Of 7,446 Comments The Republican Guide to Whose Deaths Matter and Whose Don’t Actually it is the opposite. Doctors can make that decision to not save a life if in trauma. There was no mention about a family having a DNR, this was pure state decision via doctors in their hospitals. They have a code for it at hospitals, I cannot remember right now what it is, but it means no efforts are being made to revive a patient. » Posted By SueInCa On May 8, 2013 @ 10:46 am Great piece Adlib. Did you know Texas has a DNR order where doctors can make the decision over the protests of the family? So much for those gol durn death panels. But then you know there is always going to be hypocritical talk coming out of the Party of Batshitcrazy. » Posted By SueInCa On May 7, 2013 @ 2:39 pm Weekend Music Thread-Up Up and Away KT I just discovered Jimmy Cliff.

My friend and I had just got home to her house and her mom had the radio on. I did not really know who he was so she played some of his songs. I then knew who he was. I also heard Peter Tosh for the first time at a SF Giants game. Some people were dancing after the game to I’m The Toughest and the melody just hit me dead on. I was too shy to ask them but about a month later we were at my brother’s house and he put a CD on, boom there was Peter Tosh. I went home with a copy of his cd that night. » Posted By SueInCa On April 27, 2013 @ 7:43 pm Dancing in The Streets Inner City Blues As » Posted By SueInCa On April 27, 2013 @ 7:28 pm Walk and Don’t Look Back Sittin On The Dock of the Bay » Posted By SueInCa On April 27, 2013 @ 7:23 pm Running Like The Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z2DtNW79sQ&feature=share&list=PL49F3301A740D4EB6 Streets of Philadelphia Buffalo Soldier “Stolen from Africa, brought to America” » Posted By SueInCa On April 27, 2013 @ 7:17 pm Oh my word KT, Commander Cody and his lost Planet Airmen?

I think we probably look at this subject from different perspectives. I believe we could have avoided the bulk of the war by taking an offensive action rather than defensive. I guess what bothers me the most is we have not learned the lessons of that war. Sure we have never dropped another bomb, but we stockpile weapons of mass destruction as do other countries. All it takes is one soldier who has a trigger finger to set it off and that is terrifying. » Posted By SueInCa On April 27, 2013 @ 9:39 am Sally » Posted By SueInCa On April 27, 2013 @ 9:23 am Sally I am only saying what I have heard about Pearl. It very well could be that it was not intentional. I am aware of the republican congress against any act of war too. It just begs the question if you cannot win them over, what will? And that did. Vietnam was a bit more than escalated training issues. Number 1, the US wanted the rubber in Vietnam and the issues with the French escalated the tensions there quite rapidly. There was no attack on us, any attack was a false flag as McNamara later admitted. It was based on a lie. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 11:20 pm KT My point about Europe is that an offensive maneuver would have been much more effective than climbing out of the hole we were in after Pearl. We helped Britain but even when London was being bombed, londoners were pissed because they saw us sitting across the ocean doing nothing to help them. That is not in your history books it is in the non-fiction chronicling the years from people who were there or left memoirs. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 11:10 pm KT My point about Europe is that an offensive maneuver would have been much more effective than climbing out of the hole we were in after Pearl.

In my scenario Truman ordered it then turned around and used God as a crutch. God had nothing to do with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He had everything to do with the flood and that was his choice, Japan was not. But Truman laid it at his feet. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 11:01 pm KT but part of that was our stubborn attitude in honestly assessing the situation in Germany. We had an Ambassador there that despite Roosevelt’s choice because he thought he was a low key nothing basically, that Ambassador did his job and suffered at the hands of Roosevelt and embassy personnel because he DID take Hitler seriously. Those reports on Hitler’s activities were coming first hand as a result of many dinners and social gatherings with Hitler himself. We got our own selves in to that situation by standing by until something so horrific happened to us. As long as the wars were elsewhere, we did not care. Ask any descendent of NanKing that is still living how intent the Japanese were in destroying them completely. If we had believed instead of turning our heads, the Japanese might have not gotten so confident. But we left them alone to do their mischief and hone their superiority ideas. I know it is easy to sit back now and quarterback the 20th century but I do because we have not learned any lessons or we sit back like Iraq and go the opposite end of the spectrum. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 6:24 pm The only thing I will say to that is had we gone in earlier perhaps the Japanese would have stood down. They were still busy raping China in the 30’s so a war on two fronts would have been devastating. It would have been a lot easier to stop Hitler at Austria or even Poland had we not had people with their heads stuck up where the sun don’t shine despite so many reports of aggression and worse against the Jews and other “undesirables”. I know everyone thinks it was an idyllic time back then but you still had a republican congress and a democratic president that did not get along. Unlike now days, republicans were not johnny on the spot to attack people back then. It has been said that we let Pearl happen in order to give us an excuse for war because of that divided congress and quite frankly I would believe it…..Vietnam? Iraq? Anyone? » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 6:09 pm Perhaps so KT but for Chri sake did Truman have to invoke God? Now that you mention the size I have a better idea of why some did not die in the two bombs dropped in Japan. I don’t know, there has to be a better way to resolve differences than blowing each other to smithereens. And there are alternate avenues for power, the people responsible for providing took the lazy way out. When one melts down like Chernobyl, the recriminations will start but then it is too late. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 6:02 pm Not to mention the horrible defects and sickness that was brought on the people there, and those yet born. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 5:56 pm jj » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 5:55 pm Kalima My next one is going to be on The Rape of Nanking. I read the book, Rape of Nanking a few months ago and have been trying to sit down and write something on it but I always seem to get waylaid. I, too, have for years deplored the action we took. When I was watching Trinity and Beyond and I heard Truman say that about God having us use nuclear weapons in his way, I was dumbstruck. Who in their right mind would ever think God would condone such an action? I just do not understand that type of power than some people seem to crave. We have it here in the U.S. with the rightwing. Their answer to everything is to fight, send the military, as my grandson says, “blow em up”. It is just senseless. There are better ways to resolve differences. » Posted By SueInCa On April 26, 2013 @ 5:48 pm Hope There’s No Change – A Bipartisan Chorus What is happening though, is once again Dems have opened a door and the trolls have rushed right in. Instead of talking about this logically, some have rushed in with harsh criticism which we can take but the other side with the lie machine of Luntz is powerful, they pay those people to flashmob on the internet and believe me they have come with all the talking points. And people are not that smart anymore either, which is exactly what the Heritage Foundation has been working on all along. » Posted By SueInCa On April 12, 2013 @ 9:05 pmComments Posted By SueInCa

I was just clarifying, if, indeed, God put that flood upon the earth, it was his decision. Personally I think it was just the middle east and it was blown out of proportion but even so, it was his decision to kill people. I have a hard time believing in a man in the sky who decides who lives and who dies.
Read the rape of Nanking. The Flying Tigers did their best but they were up against thousand upon thousands of Japanese soldiers. Whoever had that bright idea was not a very good defensive planner. And no, we did not go in and help China any further. Missionaries were begging for help which they never got.

I felt so badly for the people who were involved in these tests. Do you remember the mother giving her little speech? To me it sounded rehearsed like the government gave her a script. Heaven knows she probably could not even grasp the enormity of what was going to happen.
I think that is Yucca Mountain in Nevada you are referring to. I am not 100% sure but I think Harry Reid made an agreement, then the people of the state of Nevada said, whoa, wait a minute. You are going to bring what? Where? I remember talk about it when I lived there. I think your sci-fi idea is pretty much the only way to get it out of our universe but I would bet you 10 to 1 we would go ahead and dump it on some poor unsuspecting tribal people just like we took over the Bikinis island.
