The Sikh That Defined Whiteness in America

Adept2u, thank you for this. We have family in Wisconsin and have watched this state dissemble over the last two years into highly charged anger. My family is first generation and coming from a northern European country after WWII, any accent that sounded Germanic was greeted with suspicion. I think being called an alien was the worst.

Perhaps the 911 bombings, as well as the GOP’s use of polarizing religious beliefs, will cause enough hatred so that we will finally have to confront this as a worldwide multicultural issue. And even better, perhaps address the inequities perpetrated by the rich on the poor.

AB, I have to find some quiet time to listen to this which won’t be until at least Monday afternoon. Is it you who had a daughter coming home from a difficult country? (I think so) I can’t visit here as much as I would like right now but I hope all is well–very well.

Your music is stronger and more direct and I like it. I was a “top ten” kinda kid and fairly shallow in this arena so I love the intros. A lot of good music people here.

Sally, good memories of bad times. Could send this to every news outlet in the country.

Weekend Music Thread – Classic TV Theme Songs

Darn if I’m not on the run again, but this is FUN.
The Ballad of Jedd Clampett, Mighty Mouse (Here I am to Come and Save the Day) Mayberry.

I now want to go refind the Avengers and The Prisoner.

Ad, just way too cool; huge smiles, great memories. Perfect for this dreadful week. The Prisoner and Secret Agent along with The Avengers filled many happy hours

The Right Wing’s Psychotic Version of God

I agree Kes, we need a way to be in community together, not divided, block by block

I think the dommon denominator for division in the US is the blow back from the Civil War. It is the states’ rights argument against the federal government. It is the welfare argument is some blind sighted way. It is the rural vs the metro. It is still the same fight.

As measure for this I would ask us all to look at the revenge so many countries still hold against each other over thousands of years. Why would we presume to be different? The South was occupied, they were devastated–needlessly– and they were “helped” by the enemy.

A great line is: no one ever forgets where the hatchet is buried and I think that’s true.

Well the GOP have 1-7 locked down; Gomert is so skewed in his thinking or really completely evil. The GOd talk is a diversion. Children, when confronted with something of their doing always divert and if that doesn’t work, they blame someone else and if that doesn’t work, they yell.

Grover Norquist runs a good part of the GOP and the NRA may we run the other part of it. We do not have a govn’t representing it’s electorate. That is what all this is about. God is a shiny mirror, at least that’s what Suzanne said

Ad, I hope not to do a disservice to you and to everyone contributing. I will read the comments–I’ve peeked already– but I have been roiling with this as have we all. My few comments are:

Where are my inalienable rights? Those of LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS?

How does the 2nd amendment trump my rights?

2nd: I’m really tired of teddy bears; I’ve seen them with Timothy McVeigh, Colombine, VA Tech, Ft Hood, more, more and now this. GET ANGRY. Dammit, teddy bears make us victims too. We should grieve but to show no more than this means we are victims, powerless to fight the killers. How did that happen to this great country? We can just be shot down and say Oh, OK, think I’ll be sad for a few days. How did we arrive at this state of powerlessness?

So many great comments that I want to get to but they would shift me (into a fuller position) but we each want/need to say something in response to this horror–this absurd abuse of power by the NRA. I can search a sink on google and immediately get sink ads and yet no one could put together that this kid was buying mass amounts of weaponry and protective gear. Create that software to track these purchases.

My son went to one of these midnight movie openings a few years back. Every parent should be screaming at every legislator in the country. Teddy bears are a small answer for the loss of life: we should be fighting for our children and we should never be afraid to take on anyone when it comes to saving them. Period

Then for a closing is John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” back when CO was cool

Romney in Wonderland

Hi Kalie, When I need cheering up on Potus’ reelction I go to Nate Sliver at fivethirtyeight. He’s a pretty good statistician, and Obama is predicted to win.
