Keeping the Fire Burning

Khirad
Thank you. A wonderful piece even though my head was kind of spinning with all the groups named. Iran has a very detailed history and I wonder if I could ever understand it all?

I would never want to accuse anyone but, I wonder how much the right and the CIA have tried to influence outcomes in Iran? I am sure I could not even fathom just how much.

Well, I say, put everyone of them on the front line. If they want to invade so bad, let them be the leaders in to battle.

I just never get over the right’s stupidity.

Those people are out of their fucking minds. WTH? Invade Iran? Why don’t we just invade the world entire?

“Undercover Boss” Indeed

K was right too. Look what happened last year? Of course the people who dealt it are not suffering, but the rest of us are. How long before we take up the mantra against the corp? There are many more of us than there are of them……….

One thing about all the ads during the superbowl is that many people get so drunk they probably do not remember them. I went to a superbowl party Raiders against the Redskins and my sister’s father-in-law and I were the only sober ones there. There was probably about 35-40 people there and only 2 sober adults.

There are many who have studied capitalism who agree with you. I do as well.

Add Meg Whitman to that group

I did not watch it partly because after the super bowl I will not watch CBS anymore and partly because it just sounded stupid to me and more like a witch hunt for the corp masters than doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts.

To try to portray them as caring “kings on high” I hope the American public truly gets that they are not.

Why Conservatives are Always WRONG

Thanks Sanity. I, too have bookmarked it and will read later today. Good piece. Conservatives always want to make intellectuals look small because they disdain intellectuality. They have never needed it…………….

Super Bowl XLIV Thread

I would agree with you Kes

Well I will give it a shot, the drums were see through? With a design on the sides?

Poor Javaz was betting on the Colts so she owes each of us a huge sized box of Corn Flakes.

» Posted By SueInCa On February 7, 2010 @ 7:36 pm

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Javaz owes me a box of cornflakes. On second thought, I would rather have Special K with berries.

GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

31-17(COLTS ARE ON THE 17 SIDE lol)

Retarded

Very insightful piece. I happen to agree with you 100%. If people do not wake the hell up, we are going to find ourselves being ruled by a Palin cabal. People say not to obsess on her but I think different. While I am not obsessing, I am listening and making note of every move she makes. All the christian right needs is one more term in the WH to set this country back 50 years and the Supreme Court gave them a leg up just a few weeks ago. If anyone thinks Murdoch will not take advantage of that present, then they are naive. They almost obtained their objective with Bush. They just ran out of time. Obama being elected is just a simple roadblock to what these people ultimately want to accomplish. If The Family can carry on with their antics for all these years, the group as a whole can be patient for another four years.

Some recommended reading on the subject of Palin/Bush right wing appointees and their agenda is:

The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot or
Fascist America in 10 Easy Steps.

After reading the Family, I went back to these books I had read earlier and the meaning really came in to focus for me. Pay attention to their speech. They use words like homeland, regime, crusade…….these all point to exactly what Ms. Wolf was talking about.

It is beyond comprehension for those of us well read and educated how someone like Palin can go as far as she has, but not to the masses. They look at her as someone they can aspire to be, after all she is just like them, right?

Tea Party Conventional Wisdom or Nightmare

Hey Kalima and Hope
I will be out there kicking ass to make sure people vote. We have our own mess here in CA to fix and Whitman is not the ticket. Good night you two, see you all tomorrow.

» Posted By SueInCa On February 6, 2010 @ 7:24 pm

I agree and I for one do not obsess on her, I just want to make sure people do not forget. Of course as soon as she opens her mouth, the brainless thoughts come out so not to worry too much unless dems stay home…………

» Posted By SueInCa On February 6, 2010 @ 7:10 pm

If they generate their voting base, maybe so. I am not saying she will win, I am just saying not to discount her or not keep our eyes on the twit. The people who follow her are just as brainless as she is. In fact Tancredo was talking about 3/4 of the people in the movement and the republican party about voters with no idea what they are voting for…………..

The religious right is the epitome of “madness”

» Posted By SueInCa On February 6, 2010 @ 6:39 pm

The only thing I would worry about is if she actually got in to office and stranger things have happened. She is backed by the religious right, Pat Dobson, Tony Perkins, Rick Warren, Chuck Colson, Huckabee(if he does not get the nomination) and many others. These people have proven over and over they will stop at nothing and poor ole Huckabee has his own Willie Horton to confront if he runs. I read this article last year right before the election late on a Saturday night. It made me so sick to my stomach and worried, I called a friend and made her read it too at 11 at night. This is what you will see if she gets in to office………………

PlanetPOV store on Zazzle – Now Open!

Great Idea. I like the idea of window decals. I do not use bumper stickers on my cars, ever. But I would have a window sticker on my car and my window at home. I like the women’s shirt, but I like them roomy. What sizes will they go up to? I might even buy a t-shirt for my brother.

Sade and The Body

WTS
Great piece and one genre that I have never put much thought or attention to. I have never really explored the type of genre you speak of, I don’t even like the Friday 13 or other such movies. In Cold Blood, even though a (sort of)classic of the crime genre, made me sick to my stomach. I know it happens in real life, I am not naive but I guess I just don’t want to watch it by choice.

I am not naive enough to think this really does not happen, and while i am aware it does, I don’t need to see it in a movie. People who produce this type of genre like to think they are on the outer edges of the envelope, pushing farther. Maybe they think it is some kind of genuis, I haven’t figured it out. I know they are low budget movies and maybe some go on to make better films, or mybe they are just trying to break in to the film industry? I just have never understood watching a movie where you already know everyone is going to be killed for doing things most of us would never do in real life.

It is kind of like the Broadview Security commercials. Someone tries to break in to the house and the people run upstairs? Why on earth would someone trap themselves like that, alarm or not? Yet Broadview runs that same scenario over and over, like most people are going to do that with an intruder in the house, especially if they can walk out the front door. But they do it because they think it will produce revenue for the company. Money, in this society, is a pretty powerful incentive for some to do just about anything.

An Open Letter to Dr. Rachel Maddow

Good Job Boomer. You have captured what alot of Americans are probably thinking right now, but do not have the platform to speak out with. We do, thanks to Adlib, Nellie, K7, KQ and the others who implemented this site.

It seems the wackier you are, the more ignorant you are, the less informed you are, the more people pay attention to you. See they cannot make fun of us who are getting by(some barely) and doing the right thing. The teabaggers, the conspiracy theorists, the radicals they can make fun of and fill up the time in their particular slot. Then they can pat themselves on the back because they have exposed the “bad” guy. Never once thinking about portraying the plight/experience of the person getting by. You see we are not particularly exciting and we don’t cause a big fuss so we are left out, they figure people do not wwant to be reminded of everything that is wrong in this country.

At least that is how I see it……………..

Iran president Ahmadinejad accepts nuclear deal terms

Very interesting Khirad. I definitely bookmarked the site. It will be interesting to see their take on things that happen here. And it is owned by Iran State TV? Amazing. I might need you as a translator for some stories though, as far as bias might go. Thanks. I am always looking for different news outlets. I like the BBC the best. The Brits are no nonsense people it would seem. I must admit I like different foreign accents too. Might seem to be a strange thing to like, but I do.

Did you read some of the comments on that article? Is that an international news site? I had never seen it before is why I am asking. They have some pretty good coverage globally.

» Posted By SueInCa On February 3, 2010 @ 6:44 pm

That may be part of the reason. I think with all the unrest there his reputation has been seriously damaged. He knows the unrest has been televised so he knows he is postulating to the rest of the world. It is a good deal to take. He can show by releasing the low-enriched uranium to another state/country that he is truly developing on a energy based platform after all. Or……………..it could be a ruse to take the spotlight off his country while they go about their business. The pendulum swings both ways in my suspicious mind.

Everyone Hates Rahm

I read the article and it appears they were a group of over achievers by design of their parents. I have heard some nasty things about Rahm, and on Zeke with his bioethics field but in that instance I chalked it up to a republican black helicopter freak. Just because someone is in bioethics does not mean they want to clone human beings, that is just stupid. I think they are all young to be in the positions they are in and maybe need a bit more maturity. I would just never hire a “Rahm” type to work for me, I like calmness and maturity in my employees.

LOL he is probably more their type than the D’s LOL

» Posted By SueInCa On February 2, 2010 @ 6:12 pm

It is interesting that you would say that. I chalk his bad behavior to being an asshole, but I guess you can be a jewish asshole just as well as being an Alaskan asshole. I am going to read your link above to see the real Emanuel and see if it goes with my original thinking about the family. I think they are shady and just above the law by not much.

» Posted By SueInCa On February 2, 2010 @ 6:01 pm

Let me preface my comment with this statement. I don’t like Rahm Emanuel, but for Sarah Palin to call for anyone’s resignation should be a sign to do the opposite. She treats that kid like a sack of potatoes. That does not give someone the right to say retarded but it shows me she uses that kid for political gain every chance she gets, so her motive is suspect.

I am not sure what all the hullaballoo is about Rahm. It was no secret just exactly what he was in the beginning. I did not hear too much nice stuff about him so I am wondering why all the clamor now instead of when he was first brought on? Should he have said retarded? IMHO, no, he is the chief of staff and should set the example. Was there a clue that these types of statements would come from him in the beginning? Of course, everyone knows the history of Emanuel. Should we listen to everyone who cries “fire him” and follow their heed everytime someone says it? No. Should he apologize, yes. They are now crying for Holder’s resignation, when does it all end?

Hate in America, Part 1: A History of Hate

Well if you ever need help in facing them down, give me a call, I am right there with you. They, quite frankly, make me sick. I will do everything in my power to expose them.
