Displaying 931 To 960 Of 2,270 Comments Murph, that IS really good news. NPR had really seemed on the ropes over the last several years, and this seemed to show in their inexplicable platform for rightwing shills. I am very encouraged. » Posted By funksands On March 15, 2012 @ 8:03 pm Sally, she is probably going to bring her big hand. Don’t count her out. » Posted By funksands On March 14, 2012 @ 10:55 pm Invient, those are compelling stats. » Posted By funksands On March 9, 2012 @ 8:58 am Report on Homeless Women Veterans “A new report from the Government Accounting Office (GAO) has found that the number of homeless female veterans has risen 140 percent since 2006, and they will remain at risk of abuse and lack of shelter without better services from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The report says that VA does not track homeless female veterans and their needs, making it difficult for the agency to allocate grants to providers. The full report is available on the GAO website.” http://www.gao.gov/assets/590/587334.pdf “Limited VA data show the number of women veterans it has identified as homeless more than doubled, from 1,380 in fiscal year 2006 to 3,328 in fiscal year 2010. Although these data are not generalizable to the overall population of homeless women veterans, we identified some characteristics of these women. For example, almost two-thirds were between 40 and 59 years old and over one-third had disabilities. In addition, many of these women resided with their minor children.” The GOP filibustered Sen. Patty Murray’s Homeless Women Veterans Bill twice in 2010. So no its not a surprise that they are treating women in general with scorn now. » Posted By funksands On March 9, 2012 @ 8:57 am I wonder when the Ohio housing fairy will swoop down and give people a place to live until they get their homes rebuilt? Guess we’ll find out. » Posted By funksands On March 4, 2012 @ 8:52 pm KT, Kasich has decided to pass on federal aid for Ohio victims of tornadoes. “We’re peachy” he paraphrased. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120303/NEWS01/303030114/Kasich-turns-down-federal-disaster-aid » Posted By funksands On March 4, 2012 @ 7:55 pm I feel terrible for his children. You can only spew so much hate and venom until you eventually choke on it. » Posted By funksands On March 1, 2012 @ 1:09 pm Khirad, I’m very interested. I like the band, and I’d love to see you play. I’m sure Ad can fire over my email if you don’t already have access to it. » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:42 pm X2 I think you are spot on KQ » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 5:24 pm That’s very cool. Now I know someone famous! How did that come about? » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:28 am [img]http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/bush_kiss_lieberman.jpg[/img] » Posted By funksands On February 27, 2012 @ 9:00 pm That’s totally unacceptable. » Posted By funksands On February 27, 2012 @ 8:35 pm Wow. Was this a hostile takeover or one willingly offered? » Posted By funksands On February 26, 2012 @ 7:45 pm CLady, what an awful story, and very revealing that the Dean didn’t think armed guards were at all out place. Let me ask you a question: How do you “defeat” the holy warrior? The one that feels the ends justify any means? Or are they just mummers playing the part of holy warrior, scattering if enough light and heat get focused on them? » Posted By funksands On February 26, 2012 @ 7:44 pm KT, I think Susan and CLady were spot on when they identified this guy as a Domionionist weeks ago. This little splinter group is very very busy trying to take over our institutions from the inside and use them to bend the world to God’s Word. The military unfortunately is full of them, and Santorum is just a more loose-lipped public face for their belief system. » Posted By funksands On February 26, 2012 @ 11:47 am I think I know that guy… » Posted By funksands On February 26, 2012 @ 11:14 am How do Dominionists describe themselves? “Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ — to have dominion in the civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness. “But it is dominion that we are after. Not just a voice. “It is dominion we are after. Not just influence. “It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time. “It is dominion we are after. “World conquest. That’s what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less. “If Jesus Christ is indeed Lord, as the Bible says, and if our commission is to bring the land into subjection to His Lordship, as the Bible says, then all our activities, all our witnessing, all our preaching, all our craftsmanship, all our stewardship, and all our political action will aim at nothing short of that sacred purpose. “Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land — of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. It is to reinstitute the authority of God’s Word as supreme over all judgments, over all legislation, over all declarations, constitutions, and confederations.” George Grant – The Changing of the Guard: Biblical Principles for Political Action (Dominion Press) 1987 » Posted By funksands On February 26, 2012 @ 11:10 am KT, my first reaction was to laugh, then feel weird about it, then to laugh again. So I think I’ll stick with that. » Posted By funksands On February 24, 2012 @ 10:49 am Wow. I’m not sure what to think of this site: http://alldeadmormonsarenowgay.com/ » Posted By funksands On February 24, 2012 @ 10:23 am If the amount of drilling is up 149% since 2009 AND The demand for oil domestically is the lowest in 16 years AND We are producing more oil and exporting more oil than we have in 8 years Why is the price of gas still so high? I know that the oil cartels set the prices, not the oil companies, but global demand is still a bit slack since a few years ago also. Could it be that speculation is driving up the price? According to the Commodity Futures Trading Association its estimated that speculation is driving up the cost of tank of gas in a Ford Explorer by $10 a tank. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/02/how-wall-st-is-raising-the-price-of-gas/ Wow. » Posted By funksands On February 24, 2012 @ 7:21 am I didn’t think of it, but I sure enjoyed it.

We estimate that the projected level of the OASI and DI Trust Funds would be unaffected by enactment of this provision,” the letter states. » Posted By funksands On February 18, 2012 @ 6:28 pm Khirad, sheesh I should have known. You know its funny, you three post such an amazing volume of great info, I’m almost afraid to post anything. Good problem to have. 🙂 » Posted By funksands On February 18, 2012 @ 2:50 pm So the Supreme Court rules against Montana’s corporate spending ban. Another victory for the US Chamber of 中华人民共和国 » Posted By funksands On February 17, 2012 @ 6:17 pm This may have been posted by one of the dynamic duo already, but… Underwear Bomber Abdulmutallab Sentenced to Life Term in Prison “Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, convicted of attempting to bomb a Northwest Airlines plane on Christmas Day 2009 with explosives hidden in his underwear, was sentenced to life in prison. The Nigerian-born defendant pleaded guilty in October to eight felony counts, including attempted murder and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds in Detroit yesterday sentenced him to life in prison on five counts and 20 years on three counts.” I thought that if we tried these guys on our soil that the pillars of democracy would crumble? I thought that giving them a platform to spew their hateful ideology would make us less safe? I guess the media would have to cover or care about the trial for it to matter. » Posted By funksands On February 17, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Thom Hartmann made a couple of good points today on his show: Until the end of the Civil War, if a woman lost her spouse, the courts typically appointed a male guardian to handle her affairs and provide guidance on how her children should be raised. Until the late 70’s legal marital rape was on the books of nearly every state, and in North Carolina until 1993. There are simply some institutions and men that yearn for the good old days. » Posted By funksands On February 16, 2012 @ 8:22 pm Sally, as someone said once: “We’re all better off when we’re all better off” » Posted By funksands On February 16, 2012 @ 8:18 pm Food, I can only hope you are right. What’s sad about this is viewing how little the national GOP values women. The airy casualness of this whole undertaking is startling. » Posted By funksands On February 16, 2012 @ 8:17 pm Kalima, I keep hearing Jack Palance overtone: “Believe it….or not.” » Posted By funksands On February 16, 2012 @ 8:14 pm Wow…..wow » Posted By funksands On February 16, 2012 @ 11:18 amComments Posted By funksands
