Faux News Demagoguery Now Politicizing Women’s Health

Kalima, the feeling is entirely mutual.

I must bid you a good night — I’m off to work.

It’s a pleasure to be included in this wonderful group of people.

Well, I must worry some because that is my nature — but I’m glad to hear this will pass.

Kalima, have you ever tried going on a raw, or close to raw diet? There’s some literature out there about raw as an approach that sometimes works when other things don’t.

I’m sorry to hear about your RA. That is very painful to live with.

How awful.

We need to pass this health care bill so people don’t have to put artificial limits on their health needs. So sorry about your mom….

Are the GOP the New Sissies?

Gotcha! LOL!

Well, I was referencing the female anatomy, but I won’t argue with your point! LOL!

Indeed. Or we could call him a boob. πŸ™‚

I bet they’re trying to pick up some of the facebook traffic, rather than the other way around. That was the reason I thought we should have a facebook page — to draw attention to PPOV from a broader source than HP.

I know. I wish they had let that alone. Testicular fortitude, ballsy, man up as opposed to sissy, pussy, crying like a little girl. The culture picks up this language.

I love the phrase “man up,” but the implication is just wrong. What can I say? πŸ™‚

What’s up with the HP obsession w banking and Wall Street anyway? It’s almost like they’re trying to be the USA today version of the WSJ.

That “liberals are weak” theme is something the democrats can’t seem to shake off. And yet it’s the GOP that’s always running around with their hair on fire, telling people to be scared, making wrongheaded decisions motivated by fear, messing up our military engagements.

I don’t get it.

Grabamop (I love that screen name, btw), I wonder if this is a case of progressives finally stepping up and calling the GOP on their scare tactics. The GOP has been fearmongering for so long, it’s amazing it never occurred to them that eventually, someone would ask them “What are you so afraid of?”

And from there it’s pretty easy to start pulling out the “scaredy cat” labels.

The GOP has convinced a lot of people that they should be afraid all the time. Maybe progressives can convince them to muster up some courage.

I feel the same way, on both counts.

» Posted By nellie On November 18, 2009 @ 10:19 am

I don’t mean to get on your case. πŸ™‚

I often hear that word tossed around in another context. Maybe it’s the California culture.

Good question. And I don’t know why anyone would be worried about being named as someone who never accepted Bush as a legitimate president. My hand goes up without reservation.

I hear it used most often as a slur against gays. And I hear the P-word used all the time to mean weak and cowardly.

I like your word list a lot better.

» Posted By nellie On November 18, 2009 @ 9:53 am

Perhaps I’m just too epistemologically inclined!

I don’t agree that the word has been dissociated from meaning effeminate. The thesaurus backs me up on that. As does the culture I see every day.

Certainly doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about.

Thanks!

Holder is excellent. He’s steamrolling all of Senator Sessions’s arguments.

We pause for this public service message.

What’s with the female bashing? Ever heard of the mother who turned over a car to get her child from underneath it? Ever seen a lioness at work — in fact doing ALL the work in the pride? Women are not cowards. This analogy always bothers me. And the fact that it is one of the centerpieces of conservative brainwashing doesn’t help. I won’t even get into the gay-bashing connection.

We will now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Jobs are Job #1

Thanks so much! I’m really interested in this, and it’s getting no press whatsoever.

Thanks for that link. I’ve been looking for those arguments. Do they talk about the 1886 Supreme Court Case, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, 118 U.S. 394?

» Posted By nellie On November 17, 2009 @ 4:08 pm

Interesting that our courts would rule that simultaneously (1) corporations should be considered as persons and (2) their first and only responsibility is to generate profits and returns to shareholders. Something seems amiss in that recipe.

Moon believes himself to be the second coming. That is not a joke.

The discussion here is very engaging. Anyone who is genuinely interested in exploring these topics can’t do better than PPOV.

» Posted By nellie On November 17, 2009 @ 3:40 pm

I did miss that. Probably just as well.

Couldn’t agree more.
