» Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 2:14 pm A new low for Christian crazies It is distressing to be sure. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 4:26 pm Bob Edgar wrote Middle Church and a couple others. Also Randall Ballmer, Jesus is not a Republican, and Dr. Robin Meyer, Why the Religious Right is Wrong are pretty good starts. Also Chris Hedges has a couple of good books. All from Middle Church prospective, UCC, Methodist etc. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 4:24 pm You are right in a sense KQ but the progressives like Bob Edgar and Jim Wallis are trying to speak out. Others from the UCC are as well. They get drowned out by the media, they are not confrontational so they don’t get coverage. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 4:05 pm I know Adlib and it scares the hell out of me. They got away with a SCOTUS vote and nobody moved, they probably cheated with Kerry and nobody moved. I can see them doing it again………. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 4:01 pm Adlib » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 3:46 pm I got a headache at the end of the day, but I attributed it to the fog change in the city. I always got a headache when the fog rolled in unexpectedly. But no hangover, I think the pot mellowed it out. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 3:42 pm Sounds like Bible Spice and her Trigg or Trapp or whatever his name is, Prop » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 12:56 pm ADLib » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 12:52 pm Brainwashing in a cult(that is what this is) is pretty powerful. They will need years of psycho-therapy to get over it with a good start in a de-programmers office. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 10:47 am You win the bet, I would never take that one on. I like the little money I have too much to waste it on a religious right bet on pornography LOL » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 10:45 am Pepe, the people in the Dobson movement have some of the worst “sexual” hangups in the country. Their divorce rate is higher, they are more prone to watch and subscribe to pornography and they are seriously demented overall. They will use any ploy to try to force their message. IMHO they are truly the ones who will be “left behind”. They have taken the religious faith and made a mockery of it. It is a pure grab for power and nothing else, no substance and no true following of the teachings of Jesus. They “are” the abomination that they speak of in relation to “others”. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 10:24 am I also think they need to take another look at the Catholic church and the Boy Scouts. Whoever said the pedophiles were no longer in those organizations? When the Pope cannot even come clean about his “misdeeds” how can this group make such a claim? I know, I know, they don’t have to be realistic, they are the fanatical right. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 10:09 am Pepe, this is no joke. These people you decribe are in every conservative pocket in this country. They will never rest until everyone professes to be their kind of christian, a “club” of which I might say you do not have to have brains or a conscience to be admitted into. You cannot deal with rabid people like this because they have no intention to bring fairness into the game, nor do they believe in open minds, open hearts and affirming beliefs. » Posted By SueInCa On April 9, 2010 @ 10:05 am Cher For them to say it and actually believe it does not always include facts. Look at Imadinnerjacket, Bush, Cheney, most of the right. They don’t need no stinking facts. But I do understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately it is like playing telephone, the story changes with each telling, absent the facts. » Posted By SueInCa On April 6, 2010 @ 2:05 pm The problem with history or any subject, for that matter is it is regurgitated(sorry for that word) by the person who writes it. It has always been my challenge on the Bible. It all comes down to interpretation and the person who writes – wins. Unless somelike you comes along and finds facts and figures that challenge that fact. In alot of cases, the person will still stick to their story even if shown the facts. I think there has always been this idea that our country was founded out of persecution by the British and because of that we could never have done the same things during our history, we were just trying to bring civilization(whatever that is) to the masses. It is romanticized because it is easier than facing the truth – we brought that persecution with us from a distand land. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 7:22 pm Man of Steele – Episode 23: “Black Kryptonite” Poor Steele. He is such a joke and he is the only one who cannot see it. He reminds me of a younger version of Louis Gossett Jr. In looks only. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 7:09 pm Blessed Are The Poor – But Not By Republicans The hight of hypocrisy. I loved the title. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 6:39 pm IMHO if a country off-shores their manufacturing, they should pay heavier taxes. We are also too free with our trade agreements. China floods our market and we cannot do likewise. But it is all a part of the Politician’s work, they do not think beyond the here and now and the deal of the moment. I know what you mean about the slave labor, Kathy Lee only cried when she got caught. You need people, not lawyers, in politics who know how to work with projections, risk forcasts, statistics and negotiations who are watching out for the bottom line of our people, not another country. You can always find a lawyer to bring in on the side for contract review, just look at the bottom of the river or behind an ambulance. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 5:40 pm Boomer The worst customer visit I ever had was with Federated. They had a software vendor who never processed debit and were trying to learn from us, then they planned to knock us out of the game. I fixed them when I advised none of our proprietary information could be released without Federated signatures that they would not pass on the info to a third party. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 5:29 pm Boomer I did not have much interaction with the customers because I was in merchandising, but I was totally appalled at the shape of their storeroom. I hesitate to buy clothes there to this day, LOL. Did you notice the prayer requests jar at the end of that PBS piece on unemployment? » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 1:40 pm DUSA, We can only hope. That is why I put the Psalm 9 scripture in there. They claim their God is an awesome God and they are going to find out just how awesome he can be and not in a good way. Did you hear about the church who gave away at least a million in prizes yesterday at Easter service? Really? That is how they celebrate holy week? And I do know where Marie Antoinette and her king landed, at least their heads. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 9:58 am You hit the nail on the head. I tried to keep the RR out of this one because of my previous series, didn’t want to seem obsessed you know? But you are absolutely right. I find it strange that they go overseas yet leave our poor to fend for themselves. With the activity in Uganda though, I am no longer surprised. They are using Uganda as a prototype nation for religious dominance in a sectarian government. » Posted By SueInCa On April 5, 2010 @ 9:53 amComments Posted By SueInCa
They are using Uganda for their prototype of merging church and state. The President and his wife talk about it all the time and they specifically say church and state should be intermingled. Arizona, Texas, Utah and Oklahoma are all flirting with it as well.
I went to a concert in SF where that problem was relevant. My friend and I snuck in the mens bathroom each keeping a lookout for men until our “business” was taken care of,at Keezar Stadium. Of course drinking a gallon of Tequila Sunrise would not have caused the problem. We had 22 people in our group and we went through a lid and 6 gallons of tequila sunrise for a full day concert. And not one of us got crazy drunk or too too high. Those were the days LOL
Somehow when they people get their “saved” groove going, they turn into monsters. Then they wonder why people don’t believe their “chatter”. It is amazing.
When I was at Visa, Federated Stores was the account none of my project managers wanted to have, along with kohls. They knew nothing about the processing business, debit or credit and expected everything to teach them. They could never get “keys” correct and would yell at everyone at Visa when we tested them and they did not work. They had no idea how their own front end worked and they were trying to make connections to the Visa data center. They were a nightmare until I put my foot down and told them to stop harassing our employees. Then they were all like, “who Us?”.
I worked in retail for about 6 weeks and left. It was not that the employer, JCPenney was so bad, but at the store level they had no control over their supervisors. When I was in training, the trainer told me not to worry about the little things about the floor because I would probably be tapped for management soon. I had worked at their distribution center for 4 years in Nevada. Despite telling her I was not interested, she told the girl I was working for the same. I guess she was afraid I was gunning for her job because while I was supposed to have children’s and infants for merchandising she started sending me to the dirty stockroom and giving me incorrect info on sales. The day before Christmas Eve, she told me Merry Christmas as I was leaving the store I told her the same and I was not coming back. Her jaw dropped and I later called the asst manager of the store and told him why.
