Displaying 811 To 840 Of 7,446 Comments John McCain Demands Investigation of His Own Sanity LOL see Adlib? I could never write this kind of post. I think this man has lost it. Does he think people are not going to put two and two together and know he is just blowing smoke? I cracked up yesterday when that CNN producer got him pissed. All he asked is if McCain wants an investigation why he was not in the two hour briefing that took place yesterday? Old man went off on the guy…:-) If I was Cindy I would be talking him into retirement. Go away gracefully not like some dementia addle brained old fogie. » Posted By SueInCa On November 16, 2012 @ 1:25 pm What the GOP Would Have Said if They Helmed the Titanic Aw hellll no he would probably break my finger. No thank you no way. The thing is you come up with the imaginative stuff. I have a hard time with that although I did well on the msm piece but I don’t have the natural knack for it like you seem to. » Posted By SueInCa On November 9, 2012 @ 8:38 pm Adlib I wish I could come up with this stuff like you do. The best I could do was my MSM piece and I have not had the energy to listen to the MSM for that long a time to do another. This is all true, although if it were me, I would have made McConnell way worse. That statement he put out election night made me furious. I just shake my head all day long with these idiots. And of course I yell at the television and that is not good. It is like you are dealing with school children, heck even my Anthony can reason better than some of them. Sometimes I wish I could just sit down and talk to one of these people. I wonder if I would be totally drained when I was through? My bet is yes. I broke a fingernail way down yesterday and I am having a hard time typing. I keep having to go back so if my spelling looks bad, that is why. » Posted By SueInCa On November 9, 2012 @ 6:04 pm The GOP Attempt to Resurface…As The Tea Party Pulls Them Down Adlib » Posted By SueInCa On November 14, 2012 @ 7:50 pm But I was always taught that the Dem party was the party of the blue collar man. When do you think it changed? I have to admit I am not really aware that it ever did? Perhaps our definition of blue collar is different. » Posted By SueInCa On November 14, 2012 @ 7:47 pm CL I was in S Carolina and I am not sure there is much that can be done. My impression was of fairly smart people with a definite current running just below the surface. A Burger King where there was an unnamed white side and a black side in 1994. I know I sat there and was asked by a little old black lady to move. Not because she did not want to sit by me, but because when I was gone, they would pay for it. Not outright but in subtle ways. I know 94 was a long time ago, but for 94 that was an ass-backwards way to carry on a civil society. » Posted By SueInCa On November 14, 2012 @ 7:45 pm Adlib I remember quite clearly the Republicans were at this juncture after the 08 election. They hunkered down and started meeting in Pizza Parlors to try to enrich their base. When the Tea Party came around, they dropped it all. They foolishly thought they could control these people and seriously underestimated their rabid hate. Then the anger was turned on them and we had the debt standoff. They caved to their basist rightwing batshitcrazy teapers and I think that was the beginning of the end. As you stated, the minority population is continuing to increase and the old white man population continues to age. Sooner or later the old white men and women will be a distinct minority. Their only hope is to poison the younger generation with their hate. » Posted By SueInCa On November 14, 2012 @ 7:31 pm America and Democracy Are Not For Sale Boys Got it, I still have that book in my kindle collection to read. Someday soon » Posted By SueInCa On November 9, 2012 @ 4:24 pm Agrippa That was really driven home to me this morning when I read a post on HP about Don Lemon discussing on CNN how he got butt hurt when some comedian “mistreated” him in some hotel lobby. WTH? Who really cares, except the people sitting at that round table at CNN, the tea party network. » Posted By SueInCa On November 9, 2012 @ 4:21 pm Questinia I tried to turn off the media but everywhere I looked they tried to get back in my face and then I also wondered if I ignore them, am I going to be out of touch and be sorely disappointed on election night? My saving grace was usually to come here for a dose of reality, I was never disappointed. Thanks for your input. » Posted By SueInCa On November 9, 2012 @ 4:19 pm Then it is a cult and they have gone against everything they previously spoke of by backing a cultist. See why I do not trust the organized religion thing? » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 5:43 pm You are more familiar with the Tao, does it speak of a supreme being? Or is it pure spiritualism? Personally I don’t know who or if there is one true god. » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 5:41 pm I agree that a spiritual gathering could be what is best for everyone. Perhaps if there were more spiritual people there would be fewer congregations of “religious” status. I prefer the spiritual as opposed to the religious, but that is just me. I would like to see those walkaways perhaps move into a spiritual group rather than just denouncing the whole enchilada. I was kind of a walkaway but mine was more organized religion as a whole and it took me a long time to reason that being spiritual has nothing to do with organized religion. » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 4:39 pm Indeed. Here is another you might find interesting. https://twitter.com/hannahkmay/status/266605202474414080/photo/1 » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 12:33 pm Well you know I am not going to disagree with that. How much better off would we be if even some of that money was used for the homeless to give them a hand up, not a hand out? » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 12:25 pm Luckily for me I can view it all with a great deal of skepticism and the knowledge that I either already know the person they bring on as an expert is a sham or I have the ability to do my own research to find out. » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 12:23 pm I know you are right. I think I did my little part, no I know I did my part. One of my favorite sayings is: “Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” How great it would be if those who claim to know god, actually did know him. de Chardin knew, even then that man was to busy with pretending to know what fire was to actually experience it. I have had that little scroll for over 40 years now and always hang it where I am reminded everyday. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 7:02 pm Damn KQ that is pretty bad. My husband and I have many different points of view but for the most part we respect the other. Of course ours are of a more banal nature, Raiders v SF 49ers etc but still we have never come to that end. You are right though, I don’t want the haters contaminating my space either. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 5:58 pm Thanks Kes but I am not that good if I don’t have others to validate my writing and investigation. You all did that. Oh my word Kes that piece was so good. He put into words what I have been trying so say in a “politically correct” manner for months. I fully believe the win(again) for Obama in Iowa was partly from Evangelicals who normally will vote a Republican ticket but in light of their faith could not hit the button for a cultist. I saw a BBC documentary and the guy went to Iowa and interviewed many evangelicals and they mostly said, “No to Mitt Romney because of his church”. Personally I do not know if the Mormon church is a cult or not, but Evangelicals have been saying that for years. Then they turn around and vote for Mitt because they hate the president so much. Schaeffer hit the nail on the head. He is honest and forthright. Too bad more people who are anti-religious do not seek out the progressives in the movement but rather base their opinion of religion on people like the far right. I am going to book mark that post and share it far and wide, thanks so much it gave me hope and validated everything I thought and said over this past year. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 5:03 pm You are right Kalima but in this one I am going to follow the path already laid for me. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 4:50 pm Thanks KQ. You know I really tried not to let those polls bother me, but of course they did to a certain extent. I hear you on all points. That is why sites like this are so important to support. Some people like to say “oh no here you come with a blog post” mainly because they do not want to either hear another opinion or believe that opinion could have been formed from real facts. I had someone on FB tell me today he deleted one of my comments because his friends do not like facts. How incredibly ignorant is that? He is my nephew so I will cut him some slack but he does not understand that he undermined the idea of free speech by doing that to someone. He did not seem troubled by his actions. {{{{sigh}}}} I agree with you that the right is, for the most part, not going to give. They are so entrenched in the meme they have been supporting for the last 30 years or so, they cannot see a way out. Some truly frighten me.(see the splc article in OT) It is my feeling that as long as the public supports the cable media stations, they will not change their stripes. Orwell Rolls in his Grave was produced quite a while ago and the sentiments in that documentary are just as true today. Thanks for your kind words. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 4:47 pm Thanks for those links Kalima. I am going to read the state by state later tonight. I read a few and the conclusions are interesting such as in Alaska: “As expected, Republican Rep. Don Young retained the state’s only seat in the House. Comparing the funds raised by him and his opponent indicated that his return to the House was a virtual certainty. He raised almost $1 million compared with the $14,000 reported by his opponent.” So the press still thinks money is the key…..tsk tsk The second one appealed to the investigator in me. I always love to see people who go after what is not right in front of them. And yes, you are right, we both had the same uneasy feelings » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 4:28 pm The Media Empire Strikes Back (with post-election memes)! You and me both Kalima. I am so sick of hearing that. My thought was the American people have given him a mandate and that is to work for the middle class. This novel idea was beared out in many contests across the country. Warren All winners in tough races. » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 4:29 pm Great idea Bito. Anthony usually tells the truth, he is still too innocent to outright lie but I am sure he will someday. Please proceed Anthony…….lol » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 4:25 pm Bito I saw that. Perhaps she was putting on a show but who knows? » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 4:18 pm This vid had me laughing so hard. The road runner stuff was brilliant. I also loved the look on Romney’s face like he was looking at a kid he was chastising. “Please Proceed, Governor” Too funny » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 2:08 pm Last night I think. I saw it on another site. It is the second one in the list http://www.thedailyshow.com/#tool_tip_1 BullShit Mountain News: » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 2:05 pm JICYMI » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 12:19 pm Bito » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 12:06 pm You surely cannot count most people in the far right as anything other than sheep and most of the media as wekll. I learned a valuable lesson during this cycle – treat the MSM with a “boulder of salt” as someone here at the planet coined the term. Chalk it up to senior moments that I cannot think right now who said it, probably you. » Posted By SueInCa On November 8, 2012 @ 12:05 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
I am thoroughly convinced that the white evangelical vote in Iowa went to President Obams. I saw them on that mormon special and they were very adamant that they could not vote for a moron, oops I mean mormon. The religious right will give up their principles at any given time in order to gain political power, I know who they voted for as well.
– Teilhard de Chardin
Obama
Murphy
Kaine
Menendez
His show on the reaction of Bullshit Mountain to the results of the election was hilarious too.
