whew
Childish? Try me in a debate. Not childish here. Childish is to think we could invade a Middle Eastern country whose only mind set is being ruled by religious leaders and to think they will meet us in the street with flowers and hugs..childish and crazy is to think we will win the war on terror when terror is an ideology, not a person, not a country, an ideology. Give me a break. Childish? No, concerned about American and where it it headed? Yes. Concerned about terrorism that we have caused that will affect us and the world for decades to come? Yes. Concerned about the conservatives taking back rights of the people and going backwards when it comes to Affirmative Rights, pro choices rights, right to marry whomever you choose, right to worship whatever you choose without having a christian ideology plastered all over govt buildings, right to be able to die as you choose, right to be able to take marijuana with a doctors prescription when that is your only alleviating factor of pain..on and on..Childish? I dont think so. You with your head in the sand, yup. Either you are politically inexperienced or a republican in sheeps clothing to post like this..
Whew!
Sounds like someone has issues.
WHEW!
I'm glad I don't have a mortgage. I rent, and renting is a much better deal compared to how things have gone downhill nowadays with mortgages and folks losing their houses left and right. Good luck to those who own still own homes!
Whew! As an ex-Houstonian s/m
I'm wondering which Houston you're talking about. Surely not Houston, Texas! I still visit there frequently as I still have children and grandchildren there. They tell an entirely different story. Isn't Sharpstown, or example, a high crime community??? Inhabited by Mexicans and Asians? Maybe you live in River Oaks???? Otherwise, Houston is one of the highest crime cities in the country. Obviously not all of the melting pot is as happy as you appear to be.
Wow....whew. The coldness of that hit me for a minute....
Okay, I get it. The wholesale slaughter of babies does not bother you. You have no care for them whatsoever. Better they are sliced and diced than to add to the population problem. What if some of them were serial killers? Sheesh. What if some of the dead Iraqis were going to be terrorists? Good grief!
Talk about oversimplification. Are you saying that every war that has been fought was for naught and should not have been fought? Is that your stand? Or is it just Iraq you are concerned about? I have asked numerous times and you have never answered. Should we never for any reason go to war?
Personally I think Roe vs Wade SHOULD be overturned, because it is unconstitutional on its face. It was enacted by activist judges overturning a state law ad taking it nationwide, which they have no right to do. Only Congress at state or local level can enact law. For that reason alone it should be overturned. Then, if individual states want to change/stop/whatever abortion law they should be able to do it. We are talking about killing of human beings here. You can shoot someone in your house who is a danger to you in some states and face jail time for it...yet we slice and dice innocent babies in the womb who are defenseless and say no harm, no foul? How contradictory is that may I ask? And when, oh when, can we just ask people to show more responsibility? With all the birth control methods there are available, we should not be seeing half a million abortions a year that are second, third, and fourth abortions. That is just nuts. And, though it probably does not matter a hoot to you, my work is done with women who find themselves in a situation where a choice has to be made, and work with organizations who offer a different choice. I would like to change minds because that is where the true answer is.
All that being said, my active work is not going toward overturning Roe v Wade, though it should be for the reasons stated above. Judges need to be reined in. At least then if people are going to condone abortion (pro choice) then let them go to the polls and put their vote where their mouth is, so that we know the true will of the people. If, as you say, over half the country does agree that abortion should be legal, that thought should not scare you and I don't know why it does. And if abortion remained the law of the land, then I would continue the work I am doing, and that is trying to change minds and hearts, and give women in that situation a choice different from abortion. Because I do believe in following the law of the land. Hence, no picketing of abortion clinics, no bombings, no shooting doctors, no demonizing women in that situation. I want to offer a different choice, to give them time to think about what they are doing and the long-reaching effects. And I see nothing wrong with that. If a woman decides to go ahead with an abortion, she is certainly able to do so and receives no condemnation from us. It saddens us, of course. But the women/girls we work with are not sent away with ridicule and condemnation and if they return later with regret they are welcomed and counseled. And we see a fair amount of those as well. And, wonderfully, we are beginning to see more women making a choice for life, whether keeping the child herself or choosing adoption. I realize on the national level it is a tiny, tiny drop in the bucket...but one life saved, to me, is worth it. I cannot concentrate on the many who are lost, or I would never get anything done. I have to concentrate on the ones saved.
The real purpose of an abortion law is to encourage responsibility, because obviously something is haywire when half a million abortions a year are repeat abortions. If that is not using abortion as birth control, kindly tell me what is.
And as a final note....the June Cleaver thing is a really old chestnut. You can't tell me that 1.2 million women a year would turn into horrible mothers and the child would be better off dead than alive with their mothers. There are far more success stories than not, and there are many, many families looking to adopt newborns. There are many stories of girls/women who make that hard choice, and instead of the their lives being ruined, the child is the impetus for change in their lives. The good stories far outweigh the bad. And like I said...I am a glass half full kind of person. If we can save even a portion of those 1.2 million lives, then I believe the efforts are worth it. I certainly cannot just stand by and act like it does not matter to me. Because it does.
We are never going to agree on this subject. You can't understand why I would want to save babies and still think defending this country is okay, and I can't understand how you feel such empathy for casualties of war and feel none for aborted babies. I certainly feel empathy for casualties of war. However, I feel that war is sometimes necessary. I have no trouble with that decision. And I cannot equate the two...abortion and war. And I don't know how you can.
I personally don't make the decision to go to war. You don't personally make the decision to get an abortion. Either way, people die, although the numbers dying are much higher on the one side. And, frankly, I don't think even with the war the number of dead Iraqis has caught up to what Saddam did when he was in power. And that was not collateral damage, that was planned wholesale murder...very similar to abortion. Gas them all, men women and children, defenseless and unable to fight back. Line them up on the side of a pit, shoot them all, cover them up. Torture, beheading. Slice and dice, partially born, suck their brains out. There is a similarity. Murder. Barbarism. Same result. Dead human beings. When all is said and done, if a free Iraq emerges and that sort of behavior does not occur again, then I am willing to bet the Iraqis, down the road, will believe that it was worth it. They thought so when they were waving American flags and hugging soldiers and toppling Saddam statues. Just like we believed after the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, horrible and bloody though they were, were worth it.
I sleep well at night and am comfortable with my decisions. I assume you do too. So at least I will agree to disagree.
:)
Whew....don't have the time or inclination...
to respond to all this "drivel"...let's just hit the high points, shall we?
I suppose I am to assume that this is your normal response to someone not agreeing with you and not the result of someone pushing your buttons. Aha. Got it.
I would suggest you look up the words "obnoxious," and "personal attacks," "cliched catch phrases," "dodges" (especially dodges), deflections and deceptions and then re-read your own post. I would also suggest you read your own definition of "bigot" and then look at your reactions to what Hannity says and what I said. Uh-oh...
Y'know...sticks and stones, trotter. You have stuff in this diatribe I never said...like that "pure race" "drivel" (to use your word). Never said a word about a pure race. What in the world have you been reading?
Yeah, like you, I have better ways to spend my time. Oh and by the way...you don't have to be "rich" or "entitled" to speak in an elitist fashion or have an elitist attitude...you don't have to have a dime. You just have to have the 'tude. And believe me when I say this, with all due respect, you definitely have an elitist attitude and a definite condescending view of people you feel are not what you perceive as intelligent or enlightened. And there are many who speak in this way, which is why generally what you say is lost in the way you say it. One has to dig past the "gotchas" hunting for substance, and one rarely finds it. You are so angry about so many things, even if someone is not talking about those things you find a way in insert them in the conversation and ascribe to people things they never said or even implied. One wonders why you do that, but no matter. As you so skillfully stated, I have better things to do than try to figure it out.
Bless your heart for having to "sink to my level." That just screams elitism. LOL.
Good luck in your job search. And in dialing it back a notch. Perhaps we should leave the subject of illegal immigration...well what am I talking about. You left that after the first post. But, again...seriously. Good luck in your job search. Cya when you get back.
Whew - guess it's not a repeat then.
I don't always keep up with this board, but I thought this was interesting.
Whew! Cramer is really peeved that
the government appointed Geithner. Watch the video. He is correct in his evaluation that if it was you or I, we'd be put in jail quicker than sh--- if we didn't pay our taxes. He talks about Thain, too.

You GOT to feel better gettin' all that out of your system. Whew doggies! ....

Whew....glad to see I am not the only long-winded poster here....
Did you actually see the tape of when Obama said what he said: He said "instead of worrying whether immigrants learn English, YOU (with great emphasis on the you) should be making sure YOUR (great emphasis on the word your) children learn to speak Spanish! Now you can throw all the multicultural high-brow rhetoric at me you like, that is basically saying we should require our children to learn Spanish to get along with those who are immigrating instead of "worrying about" the immigrants learning English because they would learn English. All this came about from the "national language" debate with immigration. Let's keep it in context here. Obama was NOT talking about multiculturalism. Yes, he said he was embarrassed that he himself could not speak another language and it was embarrassing to him that French people who come here are multilingual (not sure why he chose French people) and we go over there and can only say merci beaucoup. Well...frankly I don't know why he is embarrassed, and that is a ridiculous statement. Anyone who goes to France to do business on a regular basis does speak French. Most people who go there regularly as tourists learn the language as well. And if I went to France to live, to become a citizen of that country, I would expect to learn French and that would be my first language. That is understood. So there would be no need for France to establish a national language. And france, frankly, nor any other european country, have our particular immigration problem, now do they? NO.
I do not see the big deal in asking immigrants to this country to make English their first language. Does not mean I want to say you can never speak Spanish again (ridiculous), but to do business and in everyday life, you should learn English.
Frankly, it is thinking like this that will usher in what that little bald-headed Russian Kruschev said, banging his shoe on the table, basically saying "One day this country will be taken over without firing a shot." Open the door and hand them the keys, globetrotter. If you don't mind them having national pride, why does it chap you for Americans to have national pride, and why shouldn't we? France can be multicultural without giving up ther national pride...but again...they don't have the immigration problems we have. If they did...a VERY different story.
OMG. How brown-nosed is that?

What did you think of PM Brown's speech
Don't get me wrong. I love England a lot (many of my family came from that country, have visited it and the people of England are wonderful people), but I caught PM Brown's speech the other day and I though it was... well "lame" for lack of a better term. He was kissing the behinds of the people to get funding from America his nose was covered in feces. I see he has also been studying President Obama's speeches and it was so blatantly obvious. President Obama is probably one of the greatest in giving speeches. No doubt about that, but this was clearly an imitation of Obama's past speeches. (We are not blue states and we are not red states, we are the United States). Here Mr. Brown says "There is no old Europe, there is no new Europe, there is only your friend Europe". The way he presented his speech all I could think of was that Obama's speech writers wrote it for him. All I thought of was how lame.
Just curious what your opinions are. Mine is that America does not have the funds to be sending money over to England. Unemployment is rising, home loss is on the rise and they are trying to have us send money to them??? Maybe I'm wrong about this but I just think it's very arrogant, as was his speech to congress.
I also heard that I guess it didn't go as well as England had planned because now The Queen is having a private meeting with Mr. Obama.
Just wondered what others opinions are.
Plus PM Brown is going blind. nm

I saw the video of the interview with Bounds and Campbell Brown...
are you saying there is a clip of McCain throwing a fit?
You just don't get it. There are black, white, brown and purple Christians...sm
Muslims, Jews, etc. Some want McCain to win and some want Obama to win, hopefully not based on color, ethnicity or religion but on what they envision is best for our country.
Practice your lockstep and iron your brown shirt...
BTW, he won't be but a 1-term president.
Brown's Economic Plan in England Mirrors Obama's
As you read the piece (see link below) in the London Times, substitute "Obama" for Brown, and "Geithner" for "Darling". Then multiply the billions in pounds by 1.5 to change them to US dollars. You'll think you're reading about the US plan - and the same catastrophic results, among which the worst are:
1. A burden on future generations of unparalleled and unprincipled proportions.
2. An outflow of investment capital to other countries that do not penalize the engines of the economy.
What struck me about Brown's plan was his "soak the rich" approach, which exactly mirrors Obama's - i.e., hitting the "upper 2%" of the "wealthy". It is more than passing strange to me that this is the precise percentage that Obama proposes - and is equally doubtful. Given Brown's recent meetings with Obama, no one will ever convince me that he didn't get some tutoring from our superclown...er, I mean, superpresident.
Another thing that's striking is how Brown's proposals are structured so that the real pain will be imposed after the elections in GB next year. In Obama's case, most of the real pain has also been scheduled for the "out years" - meaning that the public won't begin to feel them until beyond 2011.
And finally, there is the criticism that Brown's program is based on a lot of rosy "recovery" predictions which are very doubtful. Exactly the same criticism has been leveled at Obama's program, and in our case the criticism has come not from the opposition party but from within the government itself, i.e. the Office of Management and Budget - which is considered to be a very credible source of information on this sort of thing

What MY Eyes see s/m
I'm about sick to death of every social ill being laid at the feet of smokers. I also have a big problem with lazy slobs who would rather mooch off the taxpayers than work but if they choose to spend their welfare on tobacco....or gambling....as many in this particular area do and go without food, that's their problem. Welfare is way out of hand. There is something wrong with the law that lets slobs get help they don't need and some elderly or truly diabled person can't qualify for any help because they have worked hard and have a few dollars in the bank. As far as I am concerned there was nothing wrong with the commodities that were issued instead of food stamps before the "new and improved" welfare program. Then they got what they needed to keep them alive and that was about it. So who changed the rules to allow the slobs to be able to buy all the good stuff while you have to skimp? You got it...politicians, Democrats AND Republicans.
If you're looking to either of these 2 candidates to change ANYTHING that will make it easier for you, or people like you, I think you're in for a real disappointment.
My eyes!
Wondering, could this have been caused by gazing upon the radiance of O's countenance without protective eye gear??
Truce? Not in my eyes
SM, I have not called a truce with you..just because another liberal has..she/he has every right to but not I..you have repeatedly over a few months attacked me personally and ideologically..you have started off debating and then after a few posts of debate have attacked me..I want nothing to do with you..a truce? For how long a day? and then you will start to attack again? Give me a break..There were many times you posted here and the posts were genuine, I thought, and then before you knew it..you could not stand it..the other poster was getting to you..so you would attack like a mad dog..like a fool and attack personally..I dont trust you..frankly, I dont like you..go back to the conservative board where you can attack liberal ideology and pat each other on the back, cause you cant handle really true debate with ideologies other than your own, your previous posts prove it..The only way you could prove to me you want a ****truce**** is to post a few posts that are not attacking and understanding that ALL AMERICANS HAVE A RIGHT TO DIFFERENCE IN OPINION AND DIFFERENT IDEOLOGIES AND NOT ALL BELIEVE IN CONSERVATIVE VIEWS AND YOU STILL RESPECT THEM AS AMERICANS..I dont think you can do it..You dont have it in you..You are obsessed with changing peoples opinions and ideologies and it isnt gonna happen, not through attacks and hateful posts, as you have done..
open your eyes
and you believe this? Democrats misleading the public? OMG, this administration has mislead us on everything and lies all the time..there is nothing you can believe about this administration cause their only cause is for big business and to pay back those who had Bush in their pockets for the election. An administration who says Intelligent Design should be taught and there is no such thing as global warming? Well, gotta tell ya, the reality is..the middle class is being squeezed and the rich are getting richer..I have a friend who was born with a major silver spoon in his mouth and he too agrees, as Clinton does, that the tax breaks are only going to the rich..I have never received a tax break yet I pay quite a bit in taxes..As you defend the republican ideology, the country around you disintegrates..Im so sorry for you, however, you will be there in the ditches with us when everything falls apart and where will Bush be, LOLOLOLOL, in his protected ranch..OPEN YOUR EYES..Nothing in this administration helps the working class/middle class.NOTHING.
Easy on the eyes?
Are you kidding me?
It was me and, yep , I said it. Easy on the eyes!

You need to open your eyes.......
We have Muslim people in our church. They will be the first to tell you that are so glad to be out of the country where this is forced upon them. They will be the first to tell you the Q'ran does not speak of love one another, only love another Muslim. They will be the first to tell you that Westerners do not really know the full extent of the hatred that is taught to the men/sons. They will be the first to tell you they are so glad they learned there is really a God that says to love ALL, love your family members even if they are non-believers, and to love those that hate you. Islam does not teach that. You can yack on and on all you want but you can't show me anything verses that say otherwise. They more than you know the Q'ran back to back and will say it does not speak of love of others and to hate all; Jews, Christians, and nonbelievers.
Sadly, why do you assume those that have denounced Islam don't know their feelings of what they have been through more than you?
You immediately jumped to Christians. Why is that? There are those that have left countries where this is taught, do not accept Christianity, but have denounced what they were taught because it is hate.
You need to get off your anti-Christian bandwagon.
The world through the eyes of
country music. LOL!
FOR DEMOCRATS' EYES ONLY sm
Did someone forget to tell the rabid republicans that Obama won? Did someone forget to tell them how Palin made a fool out of McCain? This is too hysterical for words. I have to admit, I am really gloating here. Watching all those formerly red states turn blue.... that was amazing. Also, even if they are rabid creepublicans, they will still benefit from the changes Obama will make. Send me a private email if you wish to gloat along with me. These ladies are not very flexible, patriotic or bright. I truly think it is time for everyone to back our new president and stop spreading the hate.
Open your eyes. It is all over
Look at Lou Dobbs main page.
In the eyes of the beholder
1. I am not going to decide if she is beautiful or not. That is not my place.
2. I see nothing with the way that she dresses because I have a couple of my sister's kids, who believe me gives me sleepless nights with their fashion sense, but I love them and I think they are the most beautiful people I have ever seen.
3. As a woman, I look in the mirror every day and find things that if I had a good platic surgeon and money.....need I say more? (I would be the nip/tuck queen)....lol but since I do not, then I take the alternative route in believing that I am beautiful (hubby helps by telling me how beautiful I am too even though I know that I am at least 40 pounds overweight).
4. When I look at the picture the only thing that comes to mind is that "she does look healthy" and I would like to find myself in that same position.
5. I suppose it is easy to find fault with others rather than find what is beautiful in someone, but I have NEVER did like the easy way of doing things. Have a good one folks.
My old eyes, could barely see them either, but if you highlight
them then you can see them better.
Fool? In whose eyes, right wingers, LOL
Fool in your eyes, not in the majority of this country..I kind of am glad Bush is messing up so much, come election next year, you bet there will be many Americans who will think twice before voting for republicans..
Take your eyes and gaze up ONE post.

WARNING: NOT FOR CONSERVATIVE EYES - REALLY
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/04/25/7441/ The Washington Post link in this article is good as well.
I agree with oldtimer. So in your eyes, we should go right in,
In that case, I think your initial question was posed only in hopes of baiting an Obama supporter. I sure hope that's not the case.
What is sad is you wont even open your eyes to
nm
The first time I laid eyes on SP on TV, I was sure that SNL
The likeness was pretty incredible! I was disappointed Obama wasn't on it, but he did the right thing by putting it off, what with Hurricane Ike and all. Anyway, that's pretty much the only thing I like about SP - is that she'll provide so much inspiration to the writers at SNL this season. She's pretty easy to make fun of.....
That's the one word I noticed. Look into my eyes...
Follow me and you will be granted three wishes...but not before I publish my next book, sit down with terrorists and chat, be romanced by the mainstream media (oops I hope I don't get punished with a baby), and mark myself as present in the Oval office all while I am working on padding my pockets on some dirty Rezko deal. I could go on, but, well, you know, I am so modest.
That surely should open some eyes. (sm)
I sure hope the constituents of those candidates see these videos and boot the jerks out. I also think they should be arrested and put in the slammer, plus pay back all the money they received from FMFM, and definitely never be able to run for public office again.
Stuff like this makes me furious. They are supposed to be working for us, not themselves.
Maybe it's time to dig deeper into the whole government, and weed all these guys out, whether pubs or dems. Don't matter.
And democrats will not open their eyes and think
objectively.
