R U Mad: HE RIDES A HOBBY-HORSE

R U Mad: WOW! To see the responses on this thread is really

Wow! And where are your credential­s entitling you to talk down (high-mind­edly) to anyone. Where were you - or rather, what were you doing when your party made a whole country DYSFUNCTIO­NAL, and left it to the new kids on the block, who are only two years in and really doing better than you'd like to admit the 8-yr run did. In addition, any startup team knows its car has kinks to smooth out, tests, trials, & tribulatio­ns to overcome, keeping what works best with what - and whom, etc., but if these tests and challenges were not carried forth, nothing would ever get done and the car would never become one with a smooth-run­ning engine. 

I seriously believe there are problems being worked out every day, and many of those problems were "handed down" like hand-me-do­wn shoes. Some, I'm sorry to say, are still carried forth. So get off your high hobby-hors­e. E.g, if you'd consider things at eye-level instead of being "up there" somewhere, wherever that is, you would use common sense and realize you may see a zebra when they might see a horse of a different color, and use a more noble approach. Besides, these topics came from the same book, didn't they? You're just mad they didn't pick your pet peeve.

Governor Haley Barbour Suspends the Scott Sisters' Life Sentences Indefinitely After 16 Years

Governor Haley Barbour
  

Jamie and Gladys Scott "no longer pose a threat to society"; as if they ever really did.   Yet the people in power still refuse to pardon or commute their sentence.  They are released to save money because "Jamie Scott's medical condition creates a substantial cost to the state of Mississippi."   Pitiful. 

The system lets serial killers, rapists, white, blue, yellow, and green-collar offenders off for little or no reason, only to find out that they are just as scurrilous as ever.  These two women, "young, gifted, and Black," posed such a threat to SOCIETY for this alleged $11crime [(unless they were caught red-handed with gun and  dough)] that SOCIETY had to impose such a strenuous FINAL penalty upon them, short of death. 

A jury convicted them - and what a mean-spirited and bigoted jury it must have been.   It reminds me of the travesty of justice in the movie "Heaven's Fall."  The people were utterly determined to make a black man pay for something he did not do.  They over-threw the judge's courage to deem the whole trial a farce and perversion of justice, thereby rendering an unsavory verdict.  They hound-dogged that poor man unswervingly in an effort to carry out their wishes for him until he died in transit, still maintaining his innocence.    What a Godless enterprise.  Heaven's Fall portrays a TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCE - as this one is.

They (the vampire cowboys and girls) knew he was innocent.  The white girl they used to try to "kill somebody" was exposed.   But she had a staunch heart of darkness.  They did not care.  They wanted a black man to be lynched or burned or killed by whatever other method of death that would torture him the most.  They just wanted a death.  In a way, they killed the two young women, the Scott sisters, because of unjust judgment.  But the quest for justice could not be quenched.  Thank God. 

This is one of the many ways our beloved country wastes its potential.  It invests highly in binding people to their misdeeds instead of preparing them for re-entry into society as better contributors to, rather than drainers of, society (in one way or another).   To wit, THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VOTE IS NOT THEIRS UNLESS I MISSED SOMETHING TO DATE.  [(Note the present unrest in the prison strikes, for example. 

People who like to lie about things and delude themselves, maintain that prisoners are in hog heaven: free food, money, tv, plush rec rooms, EDUCATION, no work!! except in-house, and other luxuries.  I could not believe my ears when a CHURCH MEMBER shared that.  I thought prison was the opposite of FUN times myself.  "He needs to spend a little time in "Oz," I thought.)] 

Society is sort of like a two-faced coin.  People cry woe is us because of some drain or leaching of would-be contributors to the welfare of the whole.  However, they are not satisfied unless they make someone who least deserves it pay needlessly for some slight crime, while they allow the Son of Sam, Freddy Krueger, Jack the Ripper, and the Loch Ness Monster, for example, to roam the streets somewhere out there in the darkness.  It is truly amazing how some human minds work out their illogical conclusions.

Napolitano: The Ball's In My Court Now

[heo] Re: COULTER

You called me a Bitch. I surely will NOT CALL YOU A BASTARD, even if you are one. You certainly have the RHETORIC down pat. Excellent! Thank you for your service. We all have and do serve our country in many ways. I didn't have to read past two paragraphs to get the WIND of your DOCTRINE. So I stopped there - it's all the same air. You do one thing well: you ABUSE HISTORY. There's a saying that your worst fears will come upon you. like self-fulfilling prophecy. That is the UGLINESS and stench of fear. Psalm 73 says in verse one about people like you, i.e., the fearful ones: THERE THEY WERE IN GREAT FEAR WHERE NO FEAR WAS.

That is the fear being created, but it is a whirlwind and I will leave you in it - I'll not get caught up in it with you. We have such fear of enemies that we make them by being protagonists unnecessarily, like you are doing to me right now with this post. But I am not and will not be your enemy, so you might as well remain AFRAID; e.g., do unto others BEFORE they do unto you is what you trust - but I don't. I understand you, your names are legion.

Another thing about history, which has directly to do with your fearful fear: all things have cycles; all things have pinnacles; there is a time to be born and a time to die, there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. These things overcome the fearfulness of fear. You might think on this and find out what SERVICE really means. You and your kind are still in service - THE SERVICE OF FEAR. But that is your fear. You keep it.

Tucker Carlson: Michael Vick 'Should Have Been Executed' (VIDEO)


As for me, I am glad I'm a Christian; glad I was not led to Christ thro someone like this guy who says he's one. Had I been led to Christ by someone like him or some other types of Christians I know, I would give that gift back to whomever gave it to me.  If Christians cannot morph into more and more Christ-likeness, what right do they have to try to push Christ off on someone else, even at gun-point if that were to happen?  If they feel Christ is what they are imaging, why would they think anyone should WANT him?  Thank God Christianity (or any other Religion) does not depend upon its followers, some so-called, for validation.

They (the religions) would fall flat on their faces, and prove THEMSELVES to be IDOL gods right before the eyes of many.  This man is a travesty.  Thank God he does not represent me or even share the faith in which I stand.  Were he to dare tamper with it, I would move to a higher plane.  As for Michael Vick, he will get the blessings that were dished out as curses by this depraved man.  If he were such a Christian, he'd know he's MAKING God bless that beautiful youngster (since God said he would) because God has chastised him and the "devil" still wants to exact more than God REQUIRES.  That stupid man is EXECUTING his own self-growth.  I pity him.

John McCain DADT Repeal Reaction: 'Today Is A Very Sad Day'


John McCain looks and sounds like a tired man.  He would do well to pamper himself, leave public service and go fishing.  He deserves it.  It would also be good for his mind.  My dad found much peace out on the river in his boat.  He appreciated hearing nothing but silence, which was a good refuge from the noise of life.  John McCain could use that unless the noise is within him -then he'd only take the noise with him.

Obama-Clinton Briefing: Former President Endorses Tax Cut Deal (VIDEO)

Obama-Clinton Briefing: Former President Endorses Tax Cut Deal (VIDEO)


And one of them balanced the national Budged before he left office.  Since when had that been done?  By which party.  It is so easy for those who don't have the weight of solving national problems to find so much fault with those who do.  If opinions were money, America would not be Huffington's Third World America.   If this bill is not passed by the end of the year, and the Republicans take control of the House next year, just imagine how hard it will be to push anything through without much effort and possibly some concessions.   But what would you do to bail us out were you the problem solver in charge?

Rep. Mike Honda: Senate DADT Obstructionists Joined the Wrong Side of America's Civil Rights History


It is a pity that Republicans PROSTITUTE the Constitution by using their def. of it in  whatever way that suits them:  Against the poor by taking food out of their dependents' mouths (like in order 4 kids to merit a thot fr Conserves, they must be unborn fetuses who don't share exactly the same kinds of needs yet as those already here & need their help.  Unborn kids eat what their moms eat - or not.  So, on the other hand, unborn babes are hungry too, I suggest.  There are plenty of hungry moms-to-be who need the benefits denied them on one pretext or another).   The Rich live in plenty while children et al., are hungry and need the assistance due them, not judgment.

They use it (the Constitution) to block the constitutional rights of gay people they send to war, yet forcing them to lie about who they are because they won't be accepted in the  reality their own way of life.  Republicans unconstitutionally make the gay military have to lie in order to protect and serve.  What a bunch of hypocrites and they know it.  Therefore they use the Constitution against the Military, licking their lips saying they have DONE NO HARM.  They use it to refuse to do any good thing in favor of anyone but themselves, and they still demand that they are faithful and true American Patriots.  In truth they are faithful and true - INFIDELS (which is the definition of what they do).

Elizabeth Edwards Dead From Cancer At 61

Elizabeth Edwards Dead From Cancer At 61


Goodbye, Elizabeth Edwards:  She was beautiful and very gracious.  She was ill-treated by some in the media and other places.  But that did not deter her from her strength and her self-integrity.  She was a woman who was comfortable in her own skin.  She proved able to bear up under humiliating circumstances for her sake and her children's.  She also proved to be a forgiving soul because she forgave John for the pain he cause her and her children in private and in public.   In the end, she was his comfort along with his kids because he was with them in her presence when she said good-bye to the world.  I'm glad she was a true one.  I'm glad she had the strength to leave books behind for her children and everyone else she inspired.  I'm glad there are those in the world who inspired her to the end.  I'm glad.

Obama Lashes Out At 'Hostage-Taking' Republicans, Sanctimonious Democrats


There is no reason at all why the President should have to defend the comprises that were made with the lawless Republican lawmakers, as well as those of the self-righteous Democrats, who voted against helping the poor and middle class because they didn't like something about this bill.  Hello, it is not about you, it about an America that has 10% unemployment and hungry people who need to eat.  Instead of ranting and raving, they should be out decking the halls of food pantries with food in the storehouse for those in need of it.  

Had the President not agreed to those compromises, there are millions of people who would not have the next 13 months of unemployment checks to look forward to, while their dependents look to them.  At least some of our prayers on behalf of others have been answered.  As an American citizen, I am very ashamed of the high-handed demeanor of the rich ones who don't need what they high-jacked the middle class as hostage to wrest from the White House.   

I am also appalled at those limp-backed Democrats who, instead of banding together to make something good happen for someone else, hold back from solidarity, then blame those who do try to get things done on behalf of others - those who elected them.  How many Democrats voted to get this bill passed for victory on behalf of their constituency.    How many Democrats were on board with or WITHOUT the help of Republicans.  Did they all vote as a block or did they all split their vote.  It is one thing for the Democrats to be defeated on a measure when they stand as one unit in diversity and diversity in unity, but it is another when they split their allegiance to the party and therefore don't have enough votes on their own.  They might as well have never had a majority at all.  They NEVER CAPITALIZED ON IT.

I would suggest that those Democrats who are griping because the President deferred to the hostage takers on behalf of the hostages, that they think less of themselves and more of the fact that there are millions of people in need of this bill, and in order to get that help, they had to help those who should be helping them.  There is not a speck of decency in those superfluous frauds who make the less fortunate suffer the indignities they impose upon them simply because they CAN.   Afterwards, they slink up to the media podiums, acting and speaking like the most pious ones walking the earth. 

For those who are barking at the fact that the rich got what they know they can get, I'd suggest they ask the people who would otherwise not have this help were the outcome not what it is.  The true pity would be that the poor and middle class DID NOT have this bill passed, and did not have this extension to sleep on at night - only a drop in the bucket of the true need, but still it is at least a drop.  So I thank God on their behalf for that drop.  Some children, old and sick people will eat at least.   The moral corruption I suggest would be to do other than this small amount.

Top 10 revelations from WikiLeaks cables - Yahoo! News

Top 10 revelations from WikiLeaks cables - Yahoo! News


There is the desire for transparency but not that recklessness that endangers lives rather than protects them.  On the pretext of informing a public of things that disclosure of means friends and enemies have privy to also is reckless, I suggest.  Good intentions.  The desire for information is a good desire.  But not many seek information in the way that protects the safety of others who might be damaged by "any means necessary."  We should use the polls to bring about the kind of transparency we so fiercely advocate, in spite of being vulnerable to danger we have been exposed to by this continued effort; but not that NAKEDNESS we would NOT want our own privates exposed to.

I would suggest that it's always easy to suggest sacrifices be made by someone else while we sit back in our glass houses, aiding and abetting the gathering storm that we don't even hear rumbling around in the ether.  We are too puffed up with our seeming victory over government and all those who have the terrific task of trying to keep a world going as peacefully as possible with all the troubles going on in it.  Every minute of the day there is someone somewhere who could start a world war (and it is not Iran), or some other catastrophe that would surely touch us no matter where we live. 

It is one thing to look for openness as far as possible from our leaders, and rightly so.  It is another thing to become militants and outlaws about what we deem as our right to know.    We have become so disgruntled with the media (and rightly so) that we have tried to become the media without the blood, sweat and tears involved in the true work of Journalism).  I would ask this of anybody in the world if I were communing with them: 

Who is responsible for the safety of his neighbor as far as possible?  Whose blood will be on the hands of those who carelessly and immaturely set out to endanger a world of people whose names they don't even know; neither do they know their children; people who are already in danger from every side, especially in war-torn countries?  When did we cease to be our brother's keeper?  When did some of us become such authorities in areas for which we have never been trained, that we know the true fogs of war?   But we sit safely in our places of refuge wherever they are.  We're not out there in the filthy trenches where death hounds dog every foot-step of those who protect us.    They are the ones we sacrificed; they are sacrificial lambs twice over now.

When did we become so pompous that we call the pompous ones pompous?  When did we leave off caring what will happen to someone else if we endanger them absent-mindedly?  Don't we know that VENGEANCE CAN WAIT?  Just because we don't see a backlash for what happened yesterday, that does not mean that it is not coming sometime.  It is coming.  I believe if we would stop and get quiet enough on the inside and let go of this headiness and giddiness about these leaks, we would know that this poses grave dangers for the least ones we would want to be in danger. 

This is true evidence that the whole thing was not thought through - it was thought up but it was not thought through.  Who in his or her right mind would want to implicate a whole world of human beings in a dangerous scenario just to say they did something.  That is the same as the militants we love to accuse of terrorism and other things.   In this act, I believe that the wrong thing was done for the right reason, and vice-versa.  So there you have a paradox.  I suggest that those of us who are so short-sighted we cannot see this is in for a lot of surprises.  We are so concerned with secrets and lies that we throw the baby out with the bathwater.   

We'll be looking for that baby after many days - all over the world.  All actions have consequences.  We have just not seen the consequences of this - which has happened twice.   The first disclosure just emboldened the disclosure of the second leaks.  Something must come of that.   I am sorry that V.P. got exposed.  I'm just as sorry that we have become just as exposed - without our permission or knowledge, until it happened.   I suggest this was a mistake.  No matter how you toss that coin, it will still land on the side of mistake.  And I am concerned for us all, military and civilian.  There are those in this world who will exploit these leaks and that will be revealed whenever it is finished.

Charles Rangel receives standing ovation in Harlem, says he's glad to have censure behind him

Charles Rangel receives standing ovation in Harlem, says he's glad to have censure behind him


I must say I hesitate to delve into this subject with the torrid comments I have read.  The ignorance and bigotry is despicable.   These conversations should be in some pub or filthy bar that your color of people call illiterate POOR WHITE TRASH, (because surely you are not the color of the people you demean) dressed in your sloppy, smelly, filthy clothes, where the beer belly bulges way out front.  If you cared to study history, that is, if you can read with comprehension, you will have to admit that you are terribly in the dark concerning historical facts. 

If you were an honest reader/writer, you would surely want to get your facts right as far as possible.  Unless your point is to put down the people you talk about, do yourself a favor and study history in the light of truth.  It will do your soul good - knowledge does that.  I won't even @ anyone, because most are the same brazen comments.  Truly amazing.

A last note:  Mr. Rangel is no more corrupt than all the ones you can name that are not black persons.  You have only 1 or 2 other blacks you can name.  Also, black people have contributed more to this country (past and present) than you possibly ever will, no matter how long you live you pathetic lives.

Senate Republicans Defeat Reauthorization Of Jobless Aid, Tax Cuts

Senate Republicans Defeat Reauthorization Of Jobless Aid, Tax Cuts

So this is what people wanted a reordering of the Congress for: to defeat the low income and the middle class in America. The truth is that somebody did this. We have a bad habit of defeating ourselves on the pretext of overturnin­g the "bad guy" and calling it victory. My concern is that some do not know who the bad guy is. They can be looking at him and not know him. Therefore, they grasp at straws and just "pull one." The people who voted for the people who defeated them of direly needed help worked against themselves­. They work for the richest of the rich by electing the very people who will ensure that the rich (themselve­s) get taken care of at the expense of those in need indeed.

We as a nation need to take responsibi­lity for ourselves and see to it via the poles that those things happening now and will happen again if we make it happen, does not happen again. Who elected the Republican­s who defeat the poor and middle class in this Reauthoriz­ation of Jobless benefits and tax cuts? Who enabled the corporatio­ns, Wall Street, big banks to continue to work for their gain via the Republican Neo-Con and some Democrats, who might as well flip the switch or jump the broom? The people did. So who can we really blame for this stench in God's nostrils but ourselves - by vote or no-vote.



American leaders, in order to try to keep up the intense pretense of being the mightiest Rambo on the planet, rob us in so many uncountabl­e ways while enabling other countries to waste the money we borrow to give to them, while they build up their arsenals, food banks, et al., at our expense. Those truly needy countries get as overlooked as we do in America when it comes to being guaranteed our rights to be taken care of. For example, the desperate situation in Haiti, just as bad as it was in the beginning, but more so because of the outbreak of dis-ease rampant there. But help trickles in at a slow, slow snail's pace.

The sad truth is that we have a blemished view of what taken care of means. It has been pounded into our imperialis­t minds so long that when we think of ensuring our safety and welfare, it means BIG GUNS. Well, some of the biggest guns we should have advocates for are equal, fair, and affordable housing, food, jobs above all in order to do the others, education enhancemen­t rather than cuts for our children who will one day be leaders of this country if they are prepared for it now. We should feel secure in the knowledge that the leaders of this country are for us more than any other entity on the planet because we are their "home."



 If the powers in this country paid as much attention to helping us, for example, in extending unemployment benefits for the millions who are preparing themselves for more hard times, while the RICH are getting theirs as if they are the poor, then those cut off would have some type of funds to count on,  which they have worked for anyway.  This is low down dirty and a grim injustice to the people who elected them and the country they swore to protect.  If leaders do not take care of the people they represent, how can they say they protect and serve?   Militarism is not the only way to protect and serve a country.  It is only one of the needs of a sovereign country toward its citizens. 

I suggest that if we did not look to pick fights with others we don't like (or look for opportunity to seek a fight), we would have better opportunity to look to the welfare of home.  If we did not look for faults where it really is none of our business to look for them; if we did not look at every country as if they cannot get along without us or our input (especially money); if we did not stick our noses in others' disputes when they are sovereign and should be taking care of their own concerns, how much more astute and savvy this country would be.  We would be working diligently to strengthen our own infrastructure.
