Displaying 871 To 900 Of 5,146 Comments Mitt Romney, Donald Trump and The Theory of Relativity AdLib – I REALLY must take issue with one thing you said: It’s a SIDE comb-over, not a back one. Honestly – one has to be ACCURATE, y’know… » Posted By choicelady On May 30, 2012 @ 12:10 pm I’m not so sure this is working for Mitt. Most Americans believe in guilt by association, and The Donald’s negatives are very high. Remember the old adage: You lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas. Or perhaps badger hair. Either way what Mitt doesn’t figure out is that anyone who’d be impressed with The Donald at Mitt’s side is already voting for Newt. It gets Mitt nothing. Those who MIGHT be impressed with Mitt’s “Business Record” (which means hiding the truth) now are going to associate Mitt and another “business man” who has gone bankrupt so often he has his own private entrance to the bankruptcy courtroom. (Makes it quicker to get through his messes.) Mitt also doesn’t get that he’s associated with the one person in America – not even Orly Taitz is this dumb – who continues to assert that our FBI and Secret Service were SO stupid they did not figure out if Obama was or was not a natural-born citizen (which is also ungrammatical). Now those who hold to birtherism include Trump and five guys whittlin’ outside a busted up trailer when they’re not at a busted up tap room. So the universe of “gotta have it” votes is not just small – it’s non-existent. Mitt has sold his soul to one of the most morally corrupt men in this nation, and he thinks it’s a good thing. We’ll see in November whether he still thinks so. » Posted By choicelady On May 29, 2012 @ 7:49 pm Bishops come and go – it’s not like the Catholics. I have a very beloved friend who was a Mormon Bishop, and he’s liberal as the day is long. It’s a rotating position of help to the congregations in your area. It varies widely – and wildly – depending on the person. My friend’s tenure is up, so he’s no longer a bishop. It’s not at all what we are used to in the mainline chrisitian communities. » Posted By choicelady On May 22, 2012 @ 7:04 pm Oh good, KT. Very, very good. Excellent rejoinder! Ten points! » Posted By choicelady On May 22, 2012 @ 6:58 pm Oy… Yeah. » Posted By choicelady On May 22, 2012 @ 2:28 am Lordy I hope so – and I must say that of the slate of sociopaths, he IS the most likeable, but put him up against a decent adult with solid values, and…his mask slips. He’s getting more and more of the Bachmann Stare (have you noticed?) that glassy-eyed fervor. When he took credit for the GM success, that’s what hit me – he had that little nervous smile and wide-eyed stare SHE has! I know I’ve said before but one of my fave Peanuts cartoons is of Linus standing with his eyes WIDE open and lots of lines around them. Charlie Brown asks, “What are you doing, Linus?” Linus answers. “I’m practicing being a fanatic. And not just any fanatic – a WILD EYED fanatic!” And that was decades before it all came so terrifyingly true. How prescient of Schultz! Now we have a wild eyed set of fanatics running for president – YIKES! » Posted By choicelady On May 21, 2012 @ 5:25 pm LOL!!! It increasingly DOES seem to be! » Posted By choicelady On May 21, 2012 @ 5:18 pm AdLib – Whew! I have had precisely these same thoughts. It is very scary to watch this man shift and change and exhibit that grandiosity coupled with utter absence of empathy. It’s impossible not to be frightened of the implications and consequences. We saw a great deal of that in W – and the results were devastating to this nation. Some years ago psychiatrist Rober Coles studied children of privilege who exhibited many of these characteristics. We liberals tend to think prejudice comes from a sense of inferiority over compensated for, but Coles showed that they came from an embedded sense of superiority coupled with a lack of connection that creates hyper narcissism, obsession with maintaining one’s own superiority and supremacy over others, and that it led to a disconnect with all others – even within their own class. Not only is there no empathy there is no sympathy. Coupled with an insistence on being in power and always right, it can lead to sociopathic behavior. I think we did not ask this question soon enough of W. It is important to ask it about Mitt because his dysfunction is so blatant. Just today he was asked about another plant Bain had closed, and he refused to talk to those laid off saying he had no knowledge of their situation. Hyper capitalists often do not see human consequences. But this hypercapitalist wants to be president. He HAS to see human consequences – it’s his JOB. To lie, cheat, steal, do harm, and keep smiling as if everything he did is just dandy speaks to a character that is so incompatible with governance as to be truly scary dangerous. Is Mitt a sociopath? Only his shrink can tell us for sure, but his lack of a core concern for Americans other than those he “owns” – his family and those who work for him – makes him truly unfit to be president. What works on Wall Street is NOT what we need in a leader. The fact we can see these tendencies and are asking this question is the most powerful indication he is the WRONG person for this job. » Posted By choicelady On May 21, 2012 @ 12:44 pm BREAKING: Romney Announces Support for Corporations to Marry Well, it IS the logical next step, isn’t it? If they register offshore though, are their little subsidiaries citizens or not? If they “merge” but then split, then merge with other corporations in marriage, are the resulting crop of new subsidiaries related to the first and if so, who’s in the will? Inheritance will get awfully confusing. Do subsidiaries have the same rights under Citizens United or are they part of the parents corporate standing, meaning they don’t have rights as separate people? Now THAT will get very confusing! Little spin offs could grow up with quite the complex! When Dad Corp and Mom Corp decide to shut one of their subsidiaries down – is that an abortion and is it legal under the Hyde Amendment? If NOT then is this how we can end the federal tax write offs and cash back to the parent companies? Wow. Who knew Henry’d finally be worth something? This all seems to be Rmoney’s logical progression of “corporations are people, my friend”. Bricks and mortar now have more rights than you and I do in family law as well as corporate. That, ultimately, was the goal of Reagan’s “Morning in America”. Only since he was not a literate guy, it really should have been “Mourning in America.” It’s all that’s left, isn’t it? » Posted By choicelady On May 11, 2012 @ 6:43 pm The MSM and Pres. Obama’s Support For Gay Marriage Oh, KQ – I’m not disagreeing with YOU but with the religious right. I agree it’s huge what he did, but HE did not divide us. The religious RIGHT did. So that’s the “snore.” We already ARE divided, yeah, yeah, yeah and he has not been the cause. That obviously was NOT made clear by me! » Posted By choicelady On May 10, 2012 @ 7:07 pm The problem is the image of white tulle and tuxedoes. I’m not being snotty – we just have imprints of “correct” ideas about marriage. Even those who are FINE with civil marriages at the County Hall, have some trouble getting past those at the altar, whatever that may be. Well – this IS a civil issue. Weddings – as differentiated from marriage – are rites of passage in whatever denomination or faith your hail from. This issue is CIVIL. The rest – up to whatever faith group/organization/denomination you belong to. And if you’re dumb enough to belong where you’re not wholly embraced, well… As a civil marriage issue, it cannot be denied any longer, and I think most of us – really, MOST of us, are OK with that. Thank you for being honest because that is honorable. It is not an easy journey when your whole society has “Bride Magazine” imprints of wedding and thus marriages. Those of us who value love and commitment over anything else, are compassionate when it comes to long time partners who deserve, as any other minority, the rights of our civil society. Thanks, Nirek. You said it well. » Posted By choicelady On May 10, 2012 @ 7:05 pm Yeah, yeah, yeah, …snore. Splits America? Borrrr-ing. No – it has split America as an issue, but most of us are pretty OK with it, so that’s not going to change, and Obama’s statement is not going to change anything either. ‘Night. Back to sleep. » Posted By choicelady On May 10, 2012 @ 3:21 pm The one really pukey part of this for me was the discussion – and I have no idea if it was Obama or the reporter – saying he’d checked his Christian teachings BUT decided to do it anyway. WTF???? Christian teachings, my ass – look at his former church, United Church of Christ that openly supports marriage equality, and then Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and yes, even Methodists (never mind that they got hijacked last week by their Southern Hemisphere conservatives) who are congregation by congregation, region by region, all in support. Add in some Qakers, Unitarians, Unity Church, and non-denominational or splinter groups such as the Independent Catholic Church, and you have quite a sizeable support. Pew Research on Religion shows mainline Protestants support marriage equality by a significant margin. There no longer is ANY “Christian” opposition, there is opposition from SOME denominations within Christianity, and they are all traditionalist to extreme fundamentalists. And they base it on OLD Testament verses while not paying a shred of attention to edicts pertaining to their own actions. (Cotton polyester is a mixed fiber the wearing of which is verboten, so they’re screwed.) If Obama said that – and he once did say he had been born again which, as a member of UCC, he would NEVER say and which therefore creeped me out – then he needs a good, sound study of contemporary theology because more and more Christians – not the faux ones of Dominionist stripe – know that if Jesus didn’t say it, it probably needs revision. Christians don’t object to marriage equality. Some Christians or faux Christians do. But more and more we are all coming to resemble Biden – a good Catholic – placing humanity and love and compassion for others’ lives over dogma. And that is how it should be! Sign outside county hall the day marriage equality was, briefly, legal in CA: The gay agenda: Be treated as an equal. Now – what’s not to support about THAT? » Posted By choicelady On May 10, 2012 @ 3:16 pm Ten Things You Will Never Hear on the News You know one of the essential points about Christianity then – rule number three: don’t be a freaking hypocrite. It’s in Matthew I think… : ) » Posted By choicelady On May 21, 2012 @ 7:05 am An America Made in Mitt Romney’s Image Excellent and accurate analysis. When W said he wanted the GOP to return us to the days “before Roosevelt” we did not understand he meant Teddy. We have lived this life as a nation. Especially after the Civil War, we watched the uber rich claw all the nation’s wealth into their own hands and pockets. In NY City, a miniscule percent were outstandingly rich, about 7% were middle class, and everyone else was desperately poor. The filth, disease, death from everything from industrial accidents to what even then were preventable disease was appalling. We tend to idealize the non-urban nature of 19th century America. Yes, independent farmers and the small town businesses supporting them were pretty stable – unless you were on the Great Plains where the railroads owned you, controlled your business, and set your prices. It’s why the Grange Movement started – absolute desperation by farmers at the mercy of the railroad barons. Yes, those owning small industrial firms were also pretty stable. My great-grandfather had a cracker making process and store and flourished for a time until he was driven out of business by Nabisco as were thousands of others. My family by no means descended into absolute poverty, but the stability of small owners and thus the wealth of the nation faltered for the majority as it swelled for the few. If such an unfettered market system occurred again do we think we have the resources to weather hard times? Farms are corporate now, not family owned. One is a tenant or manager, not someone who can fall back on the “butter and cream” economics of self sufficiency and small town life. It’s gone. No one remembers, thanks to New Deal regulation, that this nation suffered depressions – not recessions, but DEPRESSIONS – once every 3-8 years between the Civil War and New Deal. The poverty of immigrants was beyond horrible, and all the “up by the bootstraps” stories of those rising from the tenements were mostly post-1900 when many Progressive Era programs were in place. Do we think this noble? Desirable? Even possible? WHY? What is the lure of the rich getting richer when it’s off our backs? Who thinks this lack of security is an improvement? When, as one wag wrote after 2008, your “401K is now a 201K”. What is GOOD about that when you’re 70 years old? What is good about unfettered insurance costs? No private plan can amortize costs the way a government regulated one will – you will pay full freight, if you can pay at all. What is the attraction of the US becoming a banana republic, a Third World nation with a massive division between a miniscule class of filthy rich and a massive swell of the very poor? Do we want to be like Russia with wealth concentrating in the hands of gangsters? The predicates for this scenario are all out there. None of them is pretty or good for the majority of Americans, and what is NOT good for the majority means an inexorable rise in death, disease, poverty, criminality, and gang activity. There is NO survival mode that is functional when the extremes of wealth and poverty are as great as they will be if Romney has his way. Demand WHY any of this would be “good” for us – and remember that the snake oil salesman was the ONLY guy without huge capital who got rich in the 19th century – and that’s because Americans were total suckers for the schmooze. I hope we have learned from that past. We can’t afford to repeat it again. » Posted By choicelady On May 14, 2012 @ 4:13 pm Dominionists – The Mighty Oak Is Not Always a Good Thing I do indeed agree, Sue. My preference for Dominionists is the conspicuous absence of Christian ideals. They are NOT “Christianists” save in self generated labels and in fact repudiate most of what Jesus taught. I’ve mentioned before that if you listen to their rant, they are Old Testamentarians at heart, hewing to the tribal laws and ignoring or even repudiating Jesus’ directions on how to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” For them, Jesus is the “get out of jail free” card – the spoken devotion that is to save them from hell. But because they follow NONE of the teachings or the principles Jesus espoused, if there IS a hell, that’s not gonna work. Calling them “Christianists” gives them way too much credit. They are not Christian at all. It’s just a label, not a belief, and it should not be given any legitimacy since they covet power over, not grace and love among, us all. » Posted By choicelady On May 7, 2012 @ 2:27 pm Nirek – that is all it amounts to. Two commandments – love God (however you conceive him/her/it) and love thy neighbor as theyself. It was never meant to be more than that. Jesus had no rules – he had teachings based on questions of significant complexity – but no rules other than those two. The Golden Rule is the subset of the second. A different way to phrase it. And whether the religious right likes it or not, ALL faiths and belief systems, including secular humanism, embrace the Golden Rule. There is nothing more to be said. You are quite right about that. » Posted By choicelady On May 7, 2012 @ 2:22 pm Kinda cool dream! I really wish those who think Jesus is coming back with an AK-47 would just get washed away or made to think over their arrogance and devotion to a fear-based “religion”. I watch these folks work so hard to “make” prophecies they believe come true. That’s what Hitler did – his family name was Schickelgruber, but he embraced a distant set of relatives named Hitler because he believed it meant he’d fulfill Nostradamus’ prophecy that a man named “Hissler” would build the 1000-year Reich. Well – look how well THAT turned out? Thirteen violent and brutal years, then his own death in a forlorn bunker. Moral to the story – if you do believe in prophecy, don’t mix in. These Dominionist folks mis-read Revelations, made up several “goals” that they argue God demands before the Second Coming, and now are building an entire global movement based on fulfilling the prophecy. They, anti-science though they are, are using cloning to generate the “red heifer” – one with no more then 3 white hairs – as part of that fulfillment. C’mon – get real. It shows how very little faith they have and how deeply political their “beliefs” really are. That they would lie, cheat, steal, kill to fulfill prophecy makes them NO different from Adolph Schickelgruber. And that’s what makes them so dangerous. » Posted By choicelady On May 6, 2012 @ 8:31 am Sue- GREAT article again as always! You know what lies behind my comments. All I can say is OMG!! Every day this gets worse, and every day they find new ways to cast themselves as mainstream people. For Chris Hayes to be THAT ignorant, THAT unprofessional, THAT careless is one of the things that helps these people flourish. We’ve had to write MSNBC before asking them to stop giving air time to extremists under the guise of mainstream commentary – it’s ignorance and disbelief that makes liberals and even progressives DISMISS how important these people are. The only commentator who consistently pays attention is Rachel Maddow, and I am hoping Melissa Harris-Perry does the same. Chris needs to open his eyes. One of his colleagues at The Nation has had terrifying personal engagement with the Dominionists. Eyal Press, whose father is the last provider of abortions in Buffalo, NY, suffered through the horrors of the 1998 assassination of the other provider, Bart Slepian, and the threats to the Press family for months thereafter. Eyal KNOWS how dangerous these people are. Chris has to take notice NOW. And we need to know that they can be found in very weird places. A couple of months ago I encounterd a man who is deeply involved in growing and distributing marijuana and who therefore hates the DEA and US Attorney with a vengeance. He verbally accosted our US Attorney as a “Nuremberg human rights criminal” over the raids that were occuring NOT to legitimate medical dispensaries but to those that increasingly were being used as fronts for dealings with international drug cartels and that also, not so coincidentally, were jacking the price of medical help by over 200%. On the way out of the meeting, I was in the same elevator with the angry man and his equally angry friend both of whom were grumbling still about the federal crack down. I said why did they not work to change the laws, which led to a tirade against law per se and an assertion that “nullification” was essential in America. My hackles went up because “nullification” is a key RW extremist policy dismissing the authority of ALL LAW and is a centerpiece in the “sovereign citizens” movement comprised of militia folks and the Tim McVeighs of the world many of whom are very present in CA’s central valley. Nullification is also taught as a core Dominionist “legal” principle at Pat Robertson’s Regent University Law School. If all laws you don’t like can be “nullified” by juries and other means, then Biblical law can triumph. Hearing that, I just shook my head and turned to walk away – and the man, now for some reason totally enraged, followed me into a public square screaming, “you are a hateful person and you are going to DIE!!! God (something something)…” after which he was yanked back inside by his friend. So here we have a Dominionist Sovereign Citizen marijuana grower and seller. When you find them at that level of society, in places you’d otherwise not expect, you know they are freaking everywhere. News commentators have GOT to stop treating these people as either aberrations or part of the mainstream. They are dangerous and willing to do whatever it takes to get their way. ANYTHING to get their way. » Posted By choicelady On May 5, 2012 @ 4:08 pm New Romney Campaign Advisor is 8 Year Old Child Is this a math quiz? You know, one of those narrative things that drove us nuts – if KQ has this many personalities and his happy personalities require one drink but his angry personalities average out to three, but only one half of those do while the other half… If this is where the Planet has sunk, I’m taking my toys and going to play with the kid. » Posted By choicelady On May 4, 2012 @ 3:51 pm Injustice in America – A Petri Dish for a Virulent Culture ‘Twas always thus, funk. An 18th-Century (or older) ditty you’ve probably read before: The law locks up the man or woman » Posted By choicelady On May 3, 2012 @ 9:18 pm KQ – thank you for saying all that. Years ago, after working full time for McGovern, I was saying to a friend in 1974 how sad I felt he was not in office. This was as Watergate was really blowing up and Congress was investigating (a role they COULD have had in Bush and Cheney, BTW.) My friend said I should be glad he wasn’t in office because Watergate NEVER would have been investigated post hoc, that McGovern would have been drawn and quartered for persecuting a former president. I was shocked to my foundations – and then realized that he was right. The proper place for this is right where it exists – the International Criminal Court. It has placed both Bush and Cheney under virtual house arrest – neither of them can leave the country or they will be picked up and brought to the Hague for trial. NO nation has ever prosecuted its own leaders for crimes against humanity, and unless or until Congress actually does intervene, this nation will be no exception. It gives me some real pleasure to know these two horrid abusers can’t leave our shores. It’s not everything – but it is something. » Posted By choicelady On May 3, 2012 @ 9:12 pm What chills me is that the 1975 blueprint for globalism that dovetails with theocratic dominance came not from the ultra Right but from the moderate quasi-liberal base. Corporations seeking a global economy proposed all that has come to pass, and while it was to their benefit to rein in a free press, it was even more to the benefit of the religious extremists and hate mongers. It was proposed that democracy itself had become excessive and needed to be curtailed. Anyone wanting to read this can still find the blueprint, Crisis of Democracy by Michael Crozer et al. It’s still being used in college classes today which chills me to the bone. Best to get it from the library – the book now is very pricey. » Posted By choicelady On May 1, 2012 @ 8:19 am kes – they were different even far more recently than the 30s. When my brother applied for CO status during Vietnam, the person who championed him was IL Senator Chuck Percy. Never batted an eye or expressed doubt about my brother’s commitment. Could you see a GOP Senator doing that today? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed entirely due to northern GOP votes. Only one of the Southern Dems voted for it – Hale Boggs – and even Al Gore Sr. voted AGAINST it. The first post-Reconstruction Black Senator was a Republican. The GOP may have been overly business friendly, but they were not devoid of concern for the welfare of the nation or of all its people. The major turning point for the party was not just, IMHO, the morphing of segregationist Dems into segregationist GOP but the embrace by the party of the religious right extremists. Their agenda was not just about “cultural values” on sexual issues (1973 Roe v Wade gave impetus to be sure) but about commandeering the nation for a narrow, theocratically based business elite to rule. That alliance of businesses people (religious or not) with theocrats is extremely dangerous. And only now, over 30 years later, are we waking up and paying attention. » Posted By choicelady On May 1, 2012 @ 8:10 am They actually tried to stage a coup – it failed because they recruited WW I hero, Smedly Butler to lead it, and he would not and exposed it all. Every single person in that coup later joined in with the founder of The Family – the C Street People – and have been exercising their power covertly ever since. For me the watershed year was 1976. We elected a president tied to the highest levels of global capital in the Trilateral Commission which published a book citing “the distemper of democracy” that required a scaling back of democracy along with unions, a free press, and a few other little obstacles, so that global capital could run free. Carter bought it hook, line, sinker. And we were off and running on deregulation of absolutely everything while shutting us all up if we protested. Vietnam was over, we’d embraced the “Me Decade” seeking personal fulfillment over politics, and we were tired, tired, tired of the conflicts of Watergate and the war. Students were adults now and also tired of being poor. We started to fragment – we did not care about other people’s problems. Whatever it was was THEIR issue, not ours. We paid NO attention to the first stages of union bashing, the snubbing of people of color, crackdowns on rights – hey, we’d won the big issues of the 60s. All was good. Then came Reagan who very well may have committed treason to get the hostages retained to win the election. Iran Contra was pretty clear evidence of that, but the big evil doers were NOT punished, and we never investigated where the Contras were selling their dope to get funds to fight the Sandanistas. Well – it was to our communities of color, and that was fine. That was THEIR problem, not ours. De-indstrialization, union bashing, S&L debacle, demonizing the poor, racism with both Welfare Queens and Willy Horton – it all came flying by us, but we paid no attention. Not our problem. Even with Clinton, cuts in the social safety net, the end of Glass-Steagall, NAFTA and outsourcing, shutdowns and deindustrialization all went on ’cause hey – not OUR problem. And it remained “not our problem” until late into Bush’s administration. It became “not our problem” really until last year when FINALLY people began to rise against the system. But most of this would NOT have grown so large and powerful if we’d done something 35 years earlier, if we’d practiced solidarity and care. We ignored it all, and it grew without pushback from us. And now we’re trying to kill globally-spread kudzu when we might have had success stopping the initial shoots. How did this happen? We let it. We ignored the Supreme Court, we yelled at the TV instead of Congress, we could not be bothered to write or call or FAX or even email our elected official – much less work for them. And we stopped paying attention to details about policy or even how our government WORKS. So in rising against the system – the Rage Against the Machine – we are in peril of not yet understanding what works, what doesn’t, and we are targeting a lot of WRONG things. It took us almost 40 years to get here. We have to be in this for the long haul, and we HAVE to stop dismissing and demonizing one another over crap differences of opinion. We also have to start celebrating what is GOOD from anyone – even people we don’t ordinarily like – and be willing to tear down traditional walls. You can’t abide the Catholic Church’s war on women? Well – how are they on economic justice, immigration, and social safety net? And Catholics have to start standing up to violent anti-abortion people in their own ranks and stop the justification of murder their own – Kopp and others – use to kill abortion providers. And we have to make other people’s issues our own. We have to honor labor, get involved in Trayvon’s case and ALL other acts of injustice against communities of color. We have to care about the lives and families of immigrants. We have to protect Muslims and others who are targets of hate. And we also have to try to understand why those who perpetrate hate are doing so. It’s a lot of work. I’m not at all sure most of us are ready for it. It’s exhausting and stressful. But Democracy is NOT a spectator sport, and no one person – not even PBO – can fix it. It’s ours to lose. And this time the loss may be permanent. We cannot afford to sit back and see “what happens”. We have to make sure of the outcome and not leave it to fate. » Posted By choicelady On April 30, 2012 @ 8:28 pm Weekend Music Thread – TV is a Laugh My ex, size 14 sneakers, once (many years ago) beat his jammed-up typewriter to death with that shoe.

Read today on various Twitter feeds that Romney is now taking CREDIT for the success of the auto industry? Oh REALLY????? The only disturbing thing here was your comment that it was “easy thinking like a Republican”. THAT is deeply worrisome since if it’s true, we’re all vulnerable! It’s like being exposed to Ebola or something – no one is safe! PLEASE come back and start putting up immune systems against the virus of GOP mindmeld? It creeps me out thinking we could lose you to the Dark Side!!!!! Fight it! Fight it I say!!!!! » Posted By choicelady On April 29, 2012 @ 8:35 pm Mitt Romney – Meet the New Staff – Same as The Bush Staff Sue this is mind boggling. People criticized Obama for keeping some of the people that were presumed to have made a mess of the economy The scariest is Bork, hands down, no contest. You’ve captured the essence of how dreadful this man is, and if he were to guide Romney’s interpretation of Constitutional issues, this nation might well never recover. One thing made me laugh and that’s your description of Talent as a “born again” Presbyterian. No such thing – Presbyterians are believers in predestination as followers from John Knox, himself a follower of Calvin. So this means he’s part of one of the Presbyterian splinter factions that EITHER embraced abortion doctor murderer Paul Hill or gave birth to Rushdooney’s extremist Old Testament inquisitional views. Either way, that makes Talent highly dangerous. But he most decidedly is NOT a part of the mainline Presbyterian Church of the USA – you know, the ones that recently ordained an openly gay man? PUSA is pretty liberal, leading the charge to disinvest in Israel and kicking up a huge fracas because of that very well thought out position. Talent cannot exist within that mainline denomination – so he’s GOT to be an extremist, and that’s downright scary since either splinter is extremely dangerous! And here you have it folks, right from Sue’s research, Romney’s Army. Be VERY afraid. » Posted By choicelady On April 24, 2012 @ 8:37 pm EXCLUSIVE: Mitt Romney’s Proposal to Serve the 99%…it’s a Cookbook! But – wouldn’t that be redundant?

What’s fascinating about your essay is, beyond the disgusting (NOT alleviated by KT’s photo!), is that it really does make sense! Labor is the entree, and we all serve various culinary needs of the idle rich. Oh that even ONE of the GOP would follow the old Flanders and Swann song, “The Reluctant Cannibal” about a young man who disdained his heritage saying “Eating people is wrong!” But these folks will never see the light.
