Displaying 5,971 To 6,000 Of 7,446 Comments New Rule for White F(l)ighters Too me, Maher sometimes sounds like a petulant little boy who never completely grew up. I think he also carries a grudge over the loss of his first show. There are alot of people out there who are crying because the President has not done exactly what they wanted him to do, I wrote a piece on this here awhile ago. I think there is alot of hidden racism in this country and it will take this next generation growing up and producing their offspring to reduce it even more. The kids, for the most part, these days are pretty open minded. One thing I have noticed is the ones who are brought up in the evangelical environment tend more toward racism even today. My grandson goes to a christian school and we are very lucky that he is so open in talking to us. Some of the kids at that school parrot their parents even though they are only 10 year old in his group. He usually tells us what is said and we tell him the truth. He does not seem to be impressionable with the thoughts they voice and is pretty pragmatic about blowing them off. It still boils down to Teach your children well……………. » Posted By SueInCa On May 28, 2010 @ 1:46 pm Draft of GROW State Proposition – TICA What about the fee being refundable if your complaint is validated? It could come from the fines charged to the company. Also another area of government that might be feasible for this is the Federal Trade Commission. They are responsible for truth in advertising for corporations. http://www.ftc.gov/greenlights#110201 » Posted By SueInCa On May 28, 2010 @ 1:06 pm AdLib » Posted By SueInCa On May 28, 2010 @ 12:57 pm Okay Adlib a few things The corp should have to do a public retraction. Removing the ad, does not remove the lie already told to the public. The corp should bear the complete financial liability to right the wrong, including fines. If a Corporation fails to respond within one week, the claim will be deemed to be disputed. I think this should read, “not disputed”? I may think of more, but you have a great start here. You could write a contract for almost any corporation….lol. I used to do it all the time at WFB and this is as good as any I saw there or wrote myself. One other question, does the final have to be reviewed by an attorney or would the state do that once it is voted on? » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 7:29 pm I am confident it will go all the way. It would really be stupid for one to go against the grain at this point. The whole thing is so 1950’s anyway. My 10 year old grandson knows it is not right. Too bad we lose that sense of right versus wrong over the years. He asked me how if someone was gay it would change the way they act in a war situation or anything else, he seems to already have an inner sense that it is not right to treat people differently because of their orientation. » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 7:42 pm Night Javaz, funny I will be doing the exact same thing in a few minutes. I guess we are on the same wave length with our recovery LOL » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 7:32 pm Javaz I have taken the road less traveled these days and don’t let it all get to me. I take people for what they are and call them out on it, but I can no longer let them get to me. Let them wallow in their hatred while I just laugh at them. You sell yourself short, you piece on Arpaio was excellent and I know you can do more. You could write a book on AZ alone LOL. » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 7:14 pm I hear it still has to pass through the pentagon and probably will not be settled until december or so? » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 7:09 pm And now it is out of the bag about hispanics. Before long, these people will not have any friends » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 6:45 pm There is a reason why the right wing does not like George Soros. He was involved in Harken Oil and he flat out said for public record that GW was not any kind of businessman and he would never hire him to run a company he was responsible for……. » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 6:43 pm Yeah, I do, but I have read too much to the contrary to believe he is anything by conniving. I read the book by Kitty Kelly, John Dean, Russ Baker and they all tell the same story. One way in front of the crowd and another entirely behind the scenes. You should hear the scathing reviews on Barbara Bush and she was the one I felt empathy for LOL. She is a cold hearted bitch according to all reports. It is all about the green to them. GHW’s father was probably the last with any modicom of decency. Prescott Bush although somewhat of a scoundrel at least had s few morals……not so the off spring. Thanks for the welcome back, I have been taking a hiatus and feel refreshed again. Have you been writing on the AZ thing? » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 6:39 pm I, too thought we had overcome it…………. » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 5:52 pm Hey Javaz I agree he was an affable guy to a point, but it was all a mask. I have read several biographies on him and his family and they are much different behind closed doors. If you will recall, it took Bush days to confront 9/11 and even longer with Katrina. Then he used the ruins of the WTC as a photo op and to plant the seed of his war cry. You are much more forgiving than me lol, but I remember just how not engaged he was. Sorry to interject here but I saw him and his antics in a totally different light. » Posted By SueInCa On May 27, 2010 @ 5:50 pm BSM » Posted By SueInCa On May 26, 2010 @ 8:57 am Hey everyone. Thought I would stop by for a minute and check out what I have been missing. Mightywoof I remember this situation during the Israeli shelling and how tragic and sad it was for this man. Despite everything he has lost, he manages to continue to care for others in more ways than just his practice. It has been hard for him but somehow I think his ultimate reward will be great someday. We can only hope and pray for him. » Posted By SueInCa On May 6, 2010 @ 7:43 pm Patsy I nver get mad at people asking for information. Here are some links on Ahmanson. He is a RR Dominionist, the ones who believe it is their role in life to rule the world. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-blumenthal/who-is-the-mystery-man-be_b_140801.html I don’t believe this for a second in light of his interference with OC schools Democracy Now – Max Blumenthal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_Institute Info on the recal campaign – Darrell Issa and McClintock received backing from Ahmanson. It is detailed in the book and it is talked about in this wiki There is other info on him in Republican Gomorrah a very good read. Your public library should have it. » Posted By SueInCa On April 28, 2010 @ 8:55 pm Cher My professor last semester was a ret sheriff and a staunch rep and he loved his union. When I questioned him about it, he got a little touchy being a republican and all….LOL » Posted By SueInCa On April 28, 2010 @ 1:14 pm Cher » Posted By SueInCa On April 28, 2010 @ 11:56 am Patsy Ahmanson, with Darrell Issa and Tom McClintock were behind the committee to recall Grey Davis after the energy crisis in early 2000’s and before Enron was indicted for fraud. These evil people somehow just get my ire stirred up. I try to let it go, but I think it is a lot more serious than people know or think. » Posted By SueInCa On April 28, 2010 @ 11:42 am Friday Music Thread – Best Music on Earth Beautiful Day U2

» Posted By SueInCa On April 23, 2010 @ 4:47 pm Nice one Adlib. I wish I were half as talented….but alas I am too serious damnit. Gotta loosen up. » Posted By SueInCa On April 22, 2010 @ 6:55 pm It’s My Party and I’ll Cry if I Want To I think runoff voting would solve alot of problems for voters today. You could pick your 1, 2nd and 3rd choices and your vote is obviously going to go to one you endorse. Even though none of them may be in the final running, you still would know you had your own free choice. The idea of two candidates I think is becoming outdated. » Posted By SueInCa On April 19, 2010 @ 4:30 pm So you would rather see NASA continue to waste money? It sounds more like NASA trying to invent jobs for themselves. And Lockheed has always been involved in NASA projects. My cousin was on the team who worked on the shuttle projects back in the 80’s. Why do you think the government bailed out Lockheed in the 70″s? » Posted By SueInCa On April 19, 2010 @ 4:14 pm Kalima » Posted By SueInCa On April 20, 2010 @ 7:53 pm http://baselinescenario.com/ » Posted By SueInCa On April 20, 2010 @ 7:51 pm BTW Adlib I saw Simon Johnson on bill Maher last week and I bought the book 13 Bankers. It is a must read » Posted By SueInCa On April 20, 2010 @ 7:38 pm He also gave one of the best comments on a book by Dr. Robin Meyers. The book is Why the Christian Right is Wrong and he said…………….”This is not a book for narrow sectarian minds; read it and you will want to change the world.” That book was my introduction into the destructive forces on the religious right and the beginnings of my research on the religious right and the desire to let others know what is out there. It is very dangerous. » Posted By SueInCa On April 20, 2010 @ 7:15 pm Excellent piece Adlib. It is such a shame he is leaving, one of the last fair and balanced reporters. Face it most of the rest are actors/anchors playing at being journalists. I loved it when he kept pressing the “journalist” part of it. » Posted By SueInCa On April 20, 2010 @ 7:10 pm No Compassion – the American Terrorist still lives It was TPM » Posted By SueInCa On April 15, 2010 @ 4:39 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
I think the public retraction should be just that, very public. I am so adamant on this piece because I am so tired of others fact checking but the original liar never steps up to the plate. The lie is just left out there with no real repercussions for doing so in the first place. Fines are all well and good but to publicly have to say you are sorry and retract the claim is so much more powerful.
Sorry to hear about Turbo. Was he the one who talked about ice fishing all the time? He was a troll slayer for sure and very entertaining. He will surely be missed in so many ways. On another note, how is Bito? I have been out of the loop for awhile but I think about him all the time and always say a prayer.

There is the same cognitive dissonance with law enforcement. The majority are conservative/rep/libertarians but they belong to the police officers union. They have no choice.
You know that Ahmanson is the same person who has funded the far religious right policies for many years. He had claimed last year that he switched to the Democratic party because of outrageous taxing by the republicans. I did not believe him then, and I don’t believe him now. If you go back further in any one of these people’s backgrounds you will find a tie of some kind to a religious right organization.
You know it does………it counts for alot
