Displaying 631 To 660 Of 3,698 Comments I would say they WILL not do it. Because they don’t WANT to do it. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 4:53 pm Very good, SN. I’ll remember that one. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 4:52 pm It’s hard to tell whether she is someone who can reboot/be helped or not. Some people can, some can’t. I’m a little chilled that there were no tears… » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 4:34 pm Those humanity-based concepts always give them trouble. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 3:54 pm It makes no sense. The best answer to the anti government folks is “WE are the government…. idjit.” (Well, maybe not the “idjit” part.) » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 3:50 pm A seriously abused person, e. By others, herself, and her own choices. There was no way for you to tell what she really needed, wanted, or could handle. Maybe a professional who deals with her down the line will be able to make some headway with her. You are doing awesome work. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 3:40 pm Spot on SN. Exactly what a social contract (i.e., GOVERNMENT) is supposed to be all about. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 3:38 pm Awesome, e’cat. I don’t even know what to say… » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 3:34 pm That’s for sure — the traffic here is impossible! » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 12:49 pm Job Application for Republicans Vtupe — I really like this post. It seems so simple and common sensical, doesn’t it. But I think choicelady has the answer to your dilemma. The people in the districts are sending these folks to congress. So either the voters need a change of heart, better information to change their minds, or a demographic influx of people with better judgment. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 9:59 am The T Party — T for Terrorists Thanks, CL, for the link to “The Story.” That’s a new site for me, and it looks really good. Your story sounds absolutely chilling. And I’m glad you got out of it to tell about it. It’s a shame when we have to fight fire with fire, but sometimes we must. You should hear Mike Malloy’s (one of progressive radio’s most left wing broadcasters) talk about his guns, why he has them, and when he’ll use them. No one is going to bother that guy. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 9:41 am When they are being egged on by the GOP leadership, I have no problem painting them all with the same brush. When this is Dick Army’s organization, funded by corporate dollars and inciting people to throw bricks,I have no problem painting them all with the same brush. When they are sponsored by Glenn Beck and his hate speech, I have absolutely no problem at all — painting them with the same brush. And when I read those signs, and realize everyone in the T Party is willing to associate themselves with that rhetoric — and willing to associate themselves with death threats and acts of violence — my conclusion is that they have earned the Terrorist label. These are not misdemeanor crimes of vandalism. These are crimes of intimidation and terrorism. » Posted By nellie On March 25, 2010 @ 6:40 am Oh, sorry. I guess I wasn’t following … It’s getting late. Time for brain cell restoration! » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 9:28 pm April 19 is the anniversary of WACO and of the Oklahoma City Bombing. So it’s a date of significance to this particular crowd. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 9:16 pm Oh yeah. 🙄 » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 7:38 pm What’s the III all about? Is that another 3 for 3 percent, or is that for WWIII? I mean — we can live w the wackadoodles. They’re always around. But I’ve never seen them so prominent in the media or in political leadership before. Time for us to rein that in. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 7:25 pm X2! » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 7:01 pm He continues to top himself. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 7:00 pm For me, it’s now. Broken glass — breaking the glass of windows? I’m not sure that’s a random decision. I’m not sure it doesn’t deliberately recall Kristallnacht (the “Night of Broken Glass” ) in Germany. And there have been a number of threats to the families of congressional representatives. A gas line has been severed. For me, they have crossed the line. And it’s time for the Justice Dept to step in. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 6:55 pm HA! Good one, WTS. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 6:50 pm What I find so disturbing, Sue, is exactly what you’ve pointed out — that the violence is being stoked by political and media leaders. When was the last time we had this kind of violence against our government representatives — desegregation? » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 2:36 pm We have a profound misunderstanding of free speech in this country. The first amendment reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Contrary to what one might understand from the simplicity of the statement, our congress has made many laws abridging free speech — laws which have been upheld by the Supreme Court. Many kinds of speech come under restriction: defamation, sedition, obscenity, commercial speech, and others. “Free speech” does not mean we can say whatever we want whenever we want. Free speech also does not mean we are obligated to listen simply because someone chooses to speak. Free speech rights guarantee the right to protest, boycott, and shun — all of which seem to me appropriate when it comes to Ann Coulter. I find nothing worthy in anything she has to say. Her words are vile, hurtful, and unfunny. I applaud the students for standing up for civility. If she has problems with their free speech rights, then she is nothing more than another right wing hypocrite. Which should be no surprise to anyone. » Posted By nellie On March 28, 2010 @ 9:27 pm Hey Jesus, Are You Packing Heat? He’s brilliant — and terribly cute. I’ve never seen him before. Thanks, Khirad. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 7:22 pm Thank AdLib — he’s the magician! » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 4:49 pm Holy moly, Khirad! 😆 » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 4:46 pm Oh Patsy, I wish I could laugh. Excellent post. » Posted By nellie On March 24, 2010 @ 4:14 pm The definition of cognitive dissonance, part 2 That sounds lovely. NIght, Sue. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:14 pm Visit – but do not linger. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:12 pm omg that PHOTO!!! I had forgotten about that… Geez. » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:06 pm conservahell — that’s a keeper! » Posted By nellie On March 23, 2010 @ 8:04 pmComments Posted By nellie
