Displaying 241 To 270 Of 7,446 Comments The Court Ruling that Could Kill ACA KT you and Adlib need to change this posting comments so we can post on your original comment lol. I really like Netflix but we very seldom rent DVD’s and if we do, we get them at Redbox. Unfortunately we still have cable because of baseball and some other shows we both like to watch. I did watch that Trinity and Beyond you suggested and went back to watch it again and it is gone. I was going to refer it to a friend but now it is no longer on Netflix. I guess they have to do that sooner or later for space reasons. I think I just might look up the West Wing. One of my favorite shows of all time. » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 2:28 pm The Uncle Sam she disdained for so long. Turns out she is a hypocrite like the rest of her followers » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 2:12 pm That is great Monica. I think we all need to continue to speak out. I will never be quiet despite being called a “meanie”, “bitch”, “whore” etc by Kochs little trolls. Truth is not always pleasant and people who have been brainwashed have a very hard time facing the truth, if they ever do. » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 1:14 pm Thanks for posting it Monica. I did not know it was on you tube. When I first watched it, I tried you tube but not there, that is how I started my “love affair” with Netflix lol. I also have Amazon prime on 30 day trial, so far, not impressed. » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 12:54 pm You do know that the Koch family made their initial fortune working for Joseph Stalin? » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 11:59 am But you cannot name any? I know plenty of Republicans and I know many who have staunchly remained centric even with the tea party but those people were centrist to begin with and quite frankly most tell me they do not recognize the party it has become. I had hoped since you made the claim you could name some people who actually fit the description you gave, I can see now you do not actually have any specifics, just your claims. » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 11:53 am Monica Did you see Park Avenue: Money, Power and The American Dream? It is the one Charles Koch was able to force PBS not to air. It is on Netflix if you want to view it. » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 11:39 am Please cite one or two things they have done to incite the religious right. So what if they give to the ACLU and the NAACP, everyone who has done their research are well aware that when they do give, there are consequences down the road, just ask the students of Florida State University. I can give all the money I want to charity but if I am destroying the environment each and every day I operate, it pretty much cancels out those funds. Why would the KOchs fight regulation to keep their chemical plants safe from terrorists? Why would the Kochs put millions of lives at risk by fighting safety regulations at their plants? Because of greed, pure and simple greed. So yeah, give the NAACP millions of dollars to assuage any future guilt(if you actually have any soul) to curry favor with a group you as a John Bircher think is inferior.(the Kochs – not you). So what you are telling me in your own words is that the Kochs and Libertarians, in general, are liars? And they lie to get funds from the right? Yet you claim their party? I am sorry, to me that sounds wrong, plainly and simply wrong and dishonest. But good for me that I already know their ties to the religious right. I have researched them and the religious right extensively, you are not fooling me. Sorry » Posted By SueInCa On July 8, 2014 @ 11:34 am I was talking to a guy who claimed to be a :Libertarian the other day and he told me to get ready for a civil war. How is war on their platform if they claim as a country we should not fight wars? I think what you have is a lot of people that like one or two stances they have taken and declare Libertarian for those few stances. » Posted By SueInCa On July 7, 2014 @ 8:17 pm Ayn Rand took her SS just like anyone else. I wonder if she were alive today if people would wonder how she came to this country, showed disdain of most everything we stood for but wanted her share of the pie, just like any other citizen. » Posted By SueInCa On July 7, 2014 @ 7:59 pm Kes as far as I know it still is.their platform. I still cannot figure out if you have such deep seated convictions toward Libertarianism why you would run on the Republican ticket, like the Pauls do. Isn’t that pretty much deceiving the voters? » Posted By SueInCa On July 7, 2014 @ 7:55 pm Diane » Posted By SueInCa On July 7, 2014 @ 7:52 pm The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded as the Charles Koch Foundation in 1974 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the conglomerate Koch Industries. In July 1976, the name was changed to the Cato Institute. Cato was established to have a focus on public advocacy, media exposure and societal influence According to the 2011 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report (Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, University of Pennsylvania), Cato is number 14 in the “Top Thirty Worldwide Think Tanks” and number 6 in the “Top Fifty United States Think Tanks” The Institute’s website states, “The mission of the Cato Institute is to originate, disseminate, and increase understanding of public policies based on the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace.” As long as the Kochs agree, that is. Do you support the Kochs, Diane? » Posted By SueInCa On July 7, 2014 @ 7:13 pm For me there is only peace, Nirek. I simply cannot get angry at war anymore because I cannot change it. People who deal in war are a different breed and I simply do not understand them. I can dislike war and I can speak out against it at every chance but getting angry only hurts me. I have a clear conscience, as I am sure you do as well, my friend. Peace back to you. » Posted By SueInCa On June 29, 2014 @ 3:01 pm Isn’t that the truth but we, and I don’t mean you or I, are still doing that as Americans. Some people cannot deal with change and in this world there is constant change but America, right now, is experiencing a time similar to the late 1800’s when the robber barons had control. Perhaps soon, the rest of America will see what is going on and act. I do like being in the group that can see clearly what is going on, though, don’t you? » Posted By SueInCa On June 29, 2014 @ 10:58 am Either way Congress is beholden to the MIC at this point in time so if he did the speech today, it would cover both sides. I am sure it was the same back then, just no so overt because research of the type done today was manual. We are able to uncover a lot more these days with technology. I kind of wonder, though, if people back then even were curious about his statement, except in passing. Not so long ago, there was the “speech” from Jimmy Carter that did not really have an impact until a couple decades later. » Posted By SueInCa On June 29, 2014 @ 10:48 am I have to say, after reading countless books on Nazi Germany, that the United States knew in their hearts what was going on almost the whole time in Germany. To say that we did not would make us the most ignorant nation on earth. For crying out loud, we had a “professor ambassador” Roosevelt put there because he thought the guy would be too intellectual to really want to interact too much with Hitler. It back fired horribly when this ambassador started reporting. The only thing they could do was to make fun of him, trying to intimidate him so he would stop. After WWI no American had the heart to get involved again and I believe the Jews suffered as a result. I am not blaming Americans for the loss of so many but I am blaming Americans for ignoring the news they were hearing. Here is the Wiki on William Dodd: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dodd_%28ambassador%29#Antisemitism » Posted By SueInCa On June 28, 2014 @ 7:08 pm That is not so far fetched as you might think, Monica. If you get a chance, read this article I wrote back in 2012 and tell me what you think. https://planetpov.com/2012/07/09/figuring-out-the-far-right-republicans/ » Posted By SueInCa On June 28, 2014 @ 6:58 pm Nirek I developed my disdain for war in High School. Like you, I saw people I knew being drafted to fight for a war that did not make sense to me then and not now. I wrote a term paper in my Junior year on the subject and did a tremendous amount of research for that paper. It was then that I realized my hunches(up to that time) about that war being a disaster, were justified by the research I uncovered. I am not against just unjust wars, but all war and I agree we need to talk peace, first, always. I have read that rubber was a major reason for going into, and staying in, Vietnam. After hearing that, it made me wonder if the use of Napalm/Agent Orange was really a move to cover up any harvesting we might have been doing with rubber plants. Some might say that is a conspiracy theory but why would any country think the best way to “destroy” the enemy was with Napalm? Eisenhower put the first 1200 advisers into Vietnam and I wonder if his MIC speech was a warning to us for truths and details he could not divulge? W all have learned a great deal about reasons for going to war in this modern age and the only ones who really like it are the MIC that Eisenhower warned us about. Vietnam was eye opening for me but Iraq solidified my knowledge that the MIC is the only entity that prospers from war. » Posted By SueInCa On June 28, 2014 @ 6:54 pm Donald Sterling and Cliven Bundy Start Racist “League of Their Own” Very good, Adlib. The only thing you forgot was to add Donald “the pimp” trump to the mix. A real three ring circus then. » Posted By SueInCa On April 28, 2014 @ 3:20 pm An Era of Repression – The Legacy of The Roberts Supreme Court That last comment you made, describes me to a T, Kes. I feel like giving up a lot of the time but do not for the same reasons you state. People who claim “both parties are the same” are usually the ones who are speaking for their Koch masters. They have muddied the waters so badly on the right that you have to guess which faction they belong to constantly. BUT I will never stop calling them out on their lies because that is precisely what they want. » Posted By SueInCa On April 23, 2014 @ 6:27 pm That would be the only way, KT, because the evil never die, only good people die. » Posted By SueInCa On April 23, 2014 @ 6:22 pm Adlib very good article. I think I made a statement in one of my religious right articles that Rev Kennedy of Coral Ridge Church, when asked about religion in politics, said, “we do not have to be involved in politics. If we obtain a majority on the Supreme Court, that is all we have to do”. He was speaking of controlling biblical rule and right leaning policies in this country. It seems he was right, except he did get involved in politics. When I read that comment and looked back to 2000, it chilled me to the bone. The successive years have not warmed those bones either. He is dead now but Billy Graham’s grandson took over his ministry……. » Posted By SueInCa On April 23, 2014 @ 6:20 pm GOP Attacks the Passage of Time as Obamacare Distraction It works almost every time Adlib 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On November 27, 2013 @ 8:49 am Great one Adlib. Actually TIME is not on their side but like Roger Ailes said, they won’t know the difference anyway. It is amazing to me how Republicans can actually say some of the things they do, and keep a straight face. The new one for Teabillies is “both parties are the same, do nothings” or something to that effect. You can stop them in their tracks by saying “and the Teaparty is worse than both of them”. I have had so many come back and say, “are you calling me a tea partier”? Well not outright, just wanted to smoke you out. LOL what can they say? I outed them, they know I outed them but they cannot admit it because everyone will then know their game. I take a delicious pride in doing that all the time LOL. God is a much better comedian than you are Adlib but you are coming close to his wit. 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On November 25, 2013 @ 4:45 pm Murph We are the country with the largest standing military and we cannot stop terrorists yet we are expected to believe the Palestinian people are supposed to stop Hamas? Think about it. This is a genocide and just like I said in my last RR article, when someone tells you what they are doing, believe them. » Posted By SueInCa On July 30, 2014 @ 2:05 pm Murph I saw this last week and what I see, is mostly religious factions, conquering each other over and over. The British may not have been on a religious “crusade” but instead colonization, but the end result is the same. No peace in the Mideast. I saw a portion of that interview you mentioned about not agreeing to the state of Israel and after seeing how Israel is never content with what they have, I can see where he is coming from. IMHO the world has tried to pay reperations to the Israelis for a long time now, while on the other hand they continue decimating the peoples of Palestine. I would never, ever validate the Final Solution in Europe, it was wrong on so many levels just the same as I would never validate what some Israelis are now calling the Final Solution in Palestine. » Posted By SueInCa On July 29, 2014 @ 11:18 am Fred Kaye – A California Ceramics Artist Cheryl You will be pleased to know that ceramics are coming back in style with a roar for handmade jewelry artists. I make a lot of ceramic focal bracelets and some of the artists I buy from also sell lampworked beads and focals as well. I am proud to say I buy from these local and/or home based artisans. You can look at some of my designs at my shop on Etsy. Ceramics in jewlery making are so earthy and bohemian style, which I love. I also buy almost exclusively from Etsy stores for all of my supplies. If not there, then the smaller bead and supplies stores on the internet. I am going to pass on your comments to Thomas Kaye. We are friends on FB. Again, thanks so much for sharing that additional history. http://www.etsy.com/shop/bluelicorice » Posted By SueInCa On October 9, 2016 @ 1:42 pm Sally Like I told Kes below it must have been something about our mother’s generation, my mom was one too but she called them knick knacks, my dad called them what nots and my grandma did too. Now my grandma hated them, she was a pretty cool in the know grandma. She taught me to pluck my eyebrows. I was going to a party in the 7th grade with boys and she said I had to look cool LOL. She was so much fun. » Posted By SueInCa On November 27, 2013 @ 8:58 am Wow that cookie jar must have been more popular than I though. And it must have been something about our mother’s generation. My mom liked those little figurines too. She had a collection of cats, the real siamese cats were the terrorists though. » Posted By SueInCa On November 27, 2013 @ 8:55 amComments Posted By SueInCa
How have you found Republicans that have moved to the left for you? Exactly what issues did they take a stance left from their original stance right? I personally do not know of any who have moved to the left.
Thank you so much for sharing that bit of your family’s history. It is too bad that people think price before quality when knock offs are put out on the market. As a designer of handmade jewelry, I know how it feels when someone copies you and tries to undersell.
