Heck we probably would have taken a ride with the guy, chances of foul play then would have been pretty slim. Today the conservatives would pounce faster than you can blink

“i’m the friendly stranger in the black sedan, won’t you hop inside my car, got pictures, got candy, I’m a lovable man, I can take you to the nearest star”

Can you imagine the uproar over those lyrics these days?

I remember them and when I was a senior we had a lot of teachers at our school that were “hip” For our final in one class we were judged on our victory garden. Another we had to identify the classical music without a cheat sheet, our Political Science teacher always had a talk about his light shows he performed at Fillmore West over the weekend and our Am Government teacher who was an ex Berkeley cop called us the Lawn people and the cheerleaders and football the “football guys”. He liked the lawn people best, we were quieter in his classes because we probably smoked a joint that morning LOL. He gave a regular final but had a lot of interesting stories from the protests in Berkeley. He was accidently shot in the leg by a fellow officer during one in Sproul Plaza which ended his career. He was my son’s principal in the 3rd grade and cut him a lot of slack because he liked me so much lol.

2011: The Year In Review

Adonai

I could not have said it better. Even the Bloomberg article got almost no coverage

» Posted By SueInCa On December 21, 2011 @ 7:24 pm

Adonai
Did you read the Bloomberg piece on the Fed? That will tell you where our money went. Remember Phillip over at HP always screaming about the 16 trillion gone? Turns out he was right. IMHO it was doled out around the world to hide the true extent of the financial crisis. I always knew it was way more than that 700 billion, the TARP was a “shock doctrine” ploy to get people to take their eyes off the real issue.

United States had the Marshall Plan after WWII to rebuild Europe. What is being done in Iraq is nothing new. Although I agree we should not have to do it and never should have been there in the first place. This price tag can be placed squarely on the previous administration.

Ending the war in Iraq was huge to me. Having our soldiers home by the end of the year. I wish it had been Afghanistan as well, no telling how many more will die in the coming two and a half years left on that Status of Forces agreement so that poppy can be broken down and delivered to our streets to enslave people who deserve a better chance.

Good list and it was well thought out and written. The only other big thing for me was……..well I cannot think of anything.

Will Gingrich be Stopped? Sure. By himself.

Bito
I think that is his goal exactly. One thing he will not be able to handle w/o blowing up is Obama’s chuckle when someone has said something that is preposterous. His evil twin will appear and he will blow it. I think that chuckle really got to McCain.

I would have to agree with you KT

I am not saying it will be a cakewalk but believe it, baggers and republican evangelicals will forgive him. Evangelicals should be broken up into different groups as there are many different types. You cannot do a poll on “evangelicals” and think you have a group that believe the same doctrine. Granted, the women will be much harder to convince but I think republicans have proven in the past that sexual misconduct will be overlooked, look at Vitter. And they dislike Obama more than Newt’s misconduct.

AL

I think you are looking at a more careful Newt at this point. Still a megalomaniac but much more careful. The baggers, as you say will love him the more obstinate he becomes. He said yesterday in response to Romney’s attack ads, “I am running against Obama at this time” The baggers will eat that kind of talk up.

I just cannot figure them out. For Perry to post that ad so virulent about Gays was plain stupid. Their hatred knows no bounds.

From Juanita Jean’s blog:

December 07, 2011

And you know that because he’s is fabulously insulted that Hillary Clinton and President Obama made speeches yesterday saying that it is not right to harass and and murder gay people.

I mean, I’m pretty much almost kinda sure that Rick doesn’t think it’s right to harass and murder gay people. He just doesn’t think telling right wing extremest not to harass and murder gay people should be said out loud.

After both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made impassioned speeches Tuesday urging gay rights abroad, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry issued a response decrying the “deeply objectionable” gay lifestyle.

“This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country,” Perry said in a statement.

And then he goes on to say …

“This administration’s war on traditional American values must stop,” Perry said.

I want you to look at the crop of Republican presidential candidates and tell me what traditional American values are according to them. Good Lord, there ain’t a one of them who can enter a church without fear of a lightening strike.

But, it’s the gay one that gets Rick on a roll. And that’s because Rick Perry is not gay.

Just wanted you to know.

In a Democratic party candidate all of what you say would most likely be true, not so for the right. He will get the evangelical vote after the leaders have given him the sufficient dressing down in public. They will do this in order to give permission to their followers that he has been chastised and is now a “clean” candidate. I read one such item last week already. If he shows his “come to jesus” moment, all will be forgiven. I wish I could remember which RR nutcase wrote it.

Then you have to look at his RR affiliations. A lot is made of him being a Catholic to take the focus off RR evangelical affiliations he has. They are:

David Barton- erstwhile revisionist historian and flaming evangelical

Mr. Barton is joined by fellow Christian minister Jim Garlow, widely credited with organizing the evangelical support for California’s same-sex marriage ban, and acting Chairman of the Board at ReAL. In addition to his duties as chairman, Pastor Garlow also acts as one of Newt Gingrich’s top spiritual advisers. Both are staunch advocates of Seven Mountains Dominionism, a fringe Evangelical Christian movement, and regularly discuss the need for religion to have a greater impact on our government.

Renewing American Leadership – The political unit of a religious conservative group called Renewing American Leadership, whose honorary chair is Newt Gingrich, is aiming to raise $500,000 to $1 million for high-stakes political issues in its first year. Their website:

Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

Thanks Nirek and I hope your holidays were good as well. Personally I think R’s really believe if they pretend they did not drive up this debt, people will believe it. That is how profoundly ruptured that party is these days. We shall see but I expect the same shenanigans as last time. What they don’t understand is that this is Obama’s last term, he is no longer worried about being re-elected. By being tough, he only strengthens the chances for another dem to replace him.

If I am bagging and counting beads again, I am feeling much better. I just got in a shipment of recycled sea glass beads and I am in the process of bagging and working out different color combos for a new chain maille bracelet I learned to make. Hope your holidays were good.
