Time Out for OT – Vol 7

Ding, ding, ding! We have a weiner πŸ˜†

Projection is a defense mechanism that involves taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people. For example, if you have a strong dislike for someone, you might instead believe that he or she does not like you. Projection functions to allow the expression of the desire or impulse, but in a way that the ego cannot recognize, therefore reducing anxiety.

k’es,

I was awake at 3 am too! A toothache I can’t have taken care of until the 23rd. If I’d known there was a party going on in bito’s room, I’d have logged in πŸ˜†

Took my antibiotic, followed by a Vicodin chaser and went straight to la-la-land. πŸ˜›

Hey, BDM just commented over at Morning Blog!

bito,

You know you’re driving all of us batshit crazy with worry my dear. We knew last week was going to rough for you, but not that rough. 😯

Are you sure you’re not looking for extra attention or something; cards, letters, flowers, balloons, a really hot nurse to help you in and out of bed? πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰

btw everyone,

I was perusing YouTube/think progress 2 this afternoon and came up empty handed for the video b’to posted last week and the one I went on the warpath over. Couldn’t find it or the creator Kurt Feigle

The more I searched, the more I found; the more I found, the more disgusted I became:

Kurt Feigel — up close and personal — from one link to the next. This man has no shame, totally believes what he preaches, and is living in Virginia of all places — and basically threatened Congressman Tom Perriello (D-VA) for his vote on HCR in the YouTube vid — duh!?!

The only thing I’ve not yet done is send an email directly to him (Kurt Feigel). Perhaps living alone with 3 furry ones isn’t an excuse, but unless I have reinforcements, I realize I’d be a sitting duck, duck, goose? 😯

B’to posted the original video, and I went off on a tangent. Google “Kurt Feigel” and see what pops up.

Lise,

My pleasure…you’re a dear…’specially if you’re not in OH-IO. So cool and thank you.

Thank you kes, sincerely dear, thank you.

Thank you Lise,

I remember you from “that other place.” I was rather shy and subdued over there — felt completely intimidated and out of my league…later discovering it was a faux league…ah naivete. Not an easy out for someone my age, heh πŸ™‚

Here at the Planet? Many, many, many caring individuals who want to have his/her say, be respected for an opinion, but not attacked as a person. And…the most important, AND if one or two or several of us don’t show up over the course of 24-36-48 hours? Someone will ask, “Has anyone heard from Lise?” Someone noticing you’ve not been around is heart-warming and most endearing.

Take Note, Take Note!!

This just in from the Executive Director of the Ohio Democratic Party — in my Inbox as it were. And I intend to reply back asking if they’ve reported this to the FBI and SPLC.

Ohio Democratic Party
Dear boomer πŸ™‚

Our opponents are at it again.

We recently learned from the Dayton Daily News that a Tea Party organizer in Springboro, Ohio, posted despicable, racist comments on Twitter, describing an immigration rally in Washington, DC in language so offensive that we needed to censor it:

This is what we’re up against in this election. Help us fight back with a contribution of just $10.

With your help, ODP can expand its neighbor-to-neighbor program to defend our candidates and make sure that Ohioans know the truth. Ohio Democrats are working hard towards a strong, secure future for Ohio, a future in which all Ohioans have equal access to affordable health care, equal access to good paying jobs, and equal access to education.

Just a little over a week ago, we told you about an angry protester who hurled dollar bills at a man with Parkinson’s disease. That same week, our opponents lined up around the U.S. Capitol building, spewing racist and homophobic slurs at elected officials who supported health insurance reform

It’s called “hold finger up in air to check which way the wind is blowing!” πŸ˜†

We would have been in much more deep shit by now if McPalin had won the election…I cringe at the thought. 😈

Yes, Cher I do share your concern. HANG IN THERE B! Not a day has gone by without one of us asking if anyone has heard from you. Each and everyone of us is your corner! πŸ˜€

On another subject — has anyone heard from BDM? It’s been how long? 7 days, 10 days, 14 days? BDM — WISHING YOU WELL AND HOPE EVERYTHING IS OK

I feel so helpless. πŸ˜₯

Well, golly gee, imagine that, and they should too. I’ve always had a creepy feeling about Karzai; I had the same feeling about Shrub. IMO Karzai has been trying to play both sides of the street and he runs with scissors. Don’t trust him any farther than I could throw him.

From CNN.com

Gibbs: White House could cancel Karzai visit

An upcoming U.S. visit by Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai could be called off if he continues to make troubling political statements, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday.

President Barack Obama invited Karzai to visit Washington this coming Monday, but Gibbs said subsequent “troubling and untruthful remarks” by the Afghan president have raised questions about the value of such a meeting.

The government will evaluate any further Karzai remarks to determine if the meeting should take place, Gibbs said.

Karzai was re-elected president last year in voting that was marred by irregularities and that required a runoff.

Last Friday, Karzai irritated the Obama administration when he blamed the irregularities on foreigners who want a “puppet government” in Afghanistan.

He further aggravated Washington, his biggest backer, on Sunday when he told a gathering of tribal leaders that the U.S.-led alliance will not move against Taliban fighters in Kandahar “until you say we can.”

“I can’t speak to why he said those things,” Gibbs said. “They’re troubling. They are confusing. They’ve been investigated and found to be untruthful.”</blockquote

javaz,

Only if we are prepared to hold the true culprits accountable. Not slough them off on scape goats, aka the men/women following the freakin orders!

What do you suppose would happen to you or me or AdLib or Nellie or Cher or Kalima, KQ, bito, et.al. if we were in positions, trained to follow orders and we refused?

Personally, I’d be in the brig from the first day…simply for asking Why, why do you want me to do this? Or more bluntly, what the F did I/we do to cause you to demand this from me?

Yep, Bush, Cheney, & Rummy done did the dirty deed.

Therefore, and because they did, we — the American people — the citizens of the USA, aren’t prepared to drag their sorry A$$es to trial for treason.

If we aren’t willing (or have the balls) to put our legislators and political leaders on the spot for decisions they’ve made, then we’ve earned the consequences.

For every lost sock, there is a lost shoe. If we fail to match them up, then we fail miserably as a society.

SN,

I held a DOD Top Secret Security Clearance until 2001. Although I can hardly remember what it was that I worked on or was involved with, I had to literally sign my life away to keep my job.

That said, there is a huge difference between truth:

Yea!!!

Severe thunderstorm warning (not snow!)!!! 68 degrees, and rain! Woo hoo! Thunder, God bless thunder & lightening, the furry ones are hiding under the bed! Kalima this one is for you! Yea!

» Posted By boomer1949 On April 5, 2010 @ 6:29 pm

You’re absolutely correct. However, and as I mentioned to AdLib earlier, unless we are prepared to hold those truly accountable, truly accountable, what purpose does it serve to offer up those caught between a rock and a hard place? Do as I say, or else you’ll be found guilty of treason or guilty of whatever we decide you should be guilty of. Your word against mine soldier, your choice, but we’ll win and you’ll be dishonorably discharged.

Come on SN there’s more to this than one video…Bush, Cheney, & Rummy…not Obama, Biden, & Gates. But who do you suppose will bear the brunt of decisions made 3 years ago?

Highly informative, worth watching, a must watch… The Mormons

AdLib,

I agree, I agree with you. And, I’m right up there, albeit it only through emails, letters, and phone calls, with you guy.

Nevertheless, I didn’t watch it and I won’t.

I wouldn’t watch vids or look at pictures of Mei Lai forty two years ago or won’t watch vids of animal abuse. Specifically, the chimps used by the Air Force prior to sending humans to the moon or for physical or mental health research (and I’m working on a piece regarding this).

Why won’t I watch?

Because all of it breaks my heart, simply breaks my heart. It makes me cry. That any human could justify such unremorseful behavior is totally unacceptable to me.

On the other hand, why is this coming out now? Why is it an issue now? Why will the guys in the Apache helicopter in 2007 be ridiculed and scrutinized more than the boots on the ground, or Darth Vader, or Puppet Shrub? Hell yes they will!

This is my point. There are always scape goats/fall guys. God forbid someone should give them orders to do something. Hell these guys are trained not to question, not to argue, not to buck orders.

If the “pointy finger of truth” is directed at the real culprits, then I have no problem. It is always good to expose past atrocities or lapses in judgment (by judgment I’m giving the benefit of doubt). That said, this will come down to the horrible shooters in the Apache helicopter, following orders from commanders on the ground, following orders from Bush, Cheney, & Rummy.

Everyone but the real skunks will stink.

Pepe, you’re completely off the hook on this one my stinky friend. πŸ™‚

The truth should be told, but in such a manner that the truth is believed and unequivocally undeniable. Let’s give credit where credit is due and not pass it off to save our ass.

See how silly and paranoid it sounds?

Fluffy slippers and or no shoes…me too! My daughter only wears real shoes in the winter when it snows…this past winter she gradiated to faux Uggs…which was a surprise. Of course she’s older now. πŸ˜†

On the other hand, if the temp is at least 40 degrees or higher, she is in flip-flops. Why? I have no idea, but whatever floats her boat. My tootsies would be purple @ 40 degrees, but she loves, loves, loves it.

Should we declare ourselves Muslim now or wait until they, the TeePeeers, come a knockin’ at the door? πŸ™„ Talk about loons — the TeePeeers that is.

» Posted By boomer1949 On April 5, 2010 @ 4:28 pm

Well javaz, toss me into the “I take my shoes off in the house lot”; so therefore I must, absolutely must be Muslim. Yet, I’m a former Protestant who converted to Catholicism, who has since become Agnostic — give or take a God or two over the years. πŸ™‚

When will they (the TPeeers that is) be coming after me for God’s sake? They’re nuts — literally nuts!

BT-

The video isn’t recent, it’s from July 2007.

» Posted By boomer1949 On April 5, 2010 @ 1:50 pm

SN,

What purpose is served by posting (not you personally), by posting a video of an event which happend 2 years 9 months ago. Our leaders, political and military, were a different lot then; much has been gleaned from past behavior, misteps, out and out lies, misinformation, and the like. The fact it was leaked to begin with is despicable.

Mark my words, this will ultimately be turned around and into a “It’s Obama’s Fault” moment.

Okay those Planeteers still hovering…it’s 11:25 pm EDT and I’m fading faster that paint in direct sunlight. See y’all in the am, except of course for K and WTS. πŸ™‚

For sure Kalima. I should know better, but am concerned nonetheless. Screwing around with the computer to make all of us feel better would be the last thing on my mind. I hear you πŸ™‚
