Merry Christmas one and all!… Looking like I’m going to have to make a battery run here momentarily… The house is still full of the sounds of excited children, all is well…
I almost cut my hair, it was happened just the other day.
It was gettin’ kinda long, I could’ve said it was in my way.
But I didn’t and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly,
And I feel like I owe it to someone.
Well, must be because I had the flu for Christmas and I’m not feeling up to par.
You know, it increases my paranoia, like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car.
But I’m not givin’ in an inch to fear. I promised myself this year.
I feel like I owe it to someone.
When I finally get myself together, I’m going to get down in that sunny southern weather.
And going to find a space inside to laugh, separate the wheat from the chaff.
‘Cause I feel like I owe it to someone.
Merry Christmas everyone! My hope for all of you is that you come to know your savior and develop a growing relationship with him. He is the reason for this season!!
RB,
If by “He”, you mean the Great American God of Business, then I agree he is the reason for the season. Anyone else, not so much, but meh, that’s just me.
To me today, is ALL CHILDREN’S DAY. They ARE the reason for the season.
Many people suffer from the misconception that Christmas is a Christian holiday. The earliest history of Christmas is composed of “pagan” (non-Christian) fertility rites and practices which predate Jesus by centuries. The truth is, in short, the real history of Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity. Many of the traditions which we hold dear, such as decorating Christmas trees, singing Christmas carols, and giving Christmas gifts, are rooted in the traditions of non-Christian religions.
We do not observe Christmas on December 25th because it was the date in history when Jesus was born. Nobody knows exactly what that date was, but references in the Bible show it most likely did not take place in winter. Rather it is because this was the date that the Romans historically celebrated the winter solstice. This celebration was about dies natalis solis invicti: the day of the birth of the unconquerable sun, which took place on December 22nd. The winter solstice held the promise of the return of springtime and earthly renewal. In Roman history, this was the time of Saturnalia, honoring the God of Agriculture, for the week before the solstice, and Juvenalia, a feast in honor of the children of Rome, around the same time.
On the 25th of the month they celebrated the birth of the sun-god Mithra. Masters and servants traded places temporarily, and everybody had a rollicking good time. It was during Saturnalia that the tradition of exchanging gifts was established. They gave one another Stenae or fruits which were intended to bring good luck. The Romans placed an enormous amount of pressure on the early Christians to rejoice along with them, and around the time of the fourth century, they began to celebrate Christmas around the same time. It was inevitable that Christians should make a connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son.
In the Middle Ages, Christmas was a raucous, drunken celebration which resembled a carnival. Poor people would go on a Christmas”trick or treat” around the richer neighborhoods, causing them misery if they didn’t get what they wanted.
Some of my neighbors decided to do firecrackers most of last evening. I cannot figure out if they were trying to lure Santa or scare him away. I mean to ask my Indian coworkers tomorrow if firecrackers are a traditional accessory to any special holiday. At least, I think they came from that part of my neighborhood.
RB,
Honestly I never figured you for a Christian. I mean, you are always projecting anger on this blog and I thought the followers of The Prince of Peace would be more mellow than that. I really don’t get you Christians. You always push your dogma into others faces, but you don’t do as your Christ had done in his time. He walked the walk, led by example. I don’t see that happening much here. You want people to believe in what you believe, then shut up about it and just quietly show us how. You believe what you want and I will believe what I want. I figure there are more than one stairways to Heaven. But Happy Saturnalia anyway…

Merry Christmas.
Literally translates to “Happy when they go shooting (fireworks.)”
And why that? Well, when the Cherokee ran into the Spanish with their tradition of shooting off fireworks at Christmas, they took a shine to the idea, adopted the custom and, well, were happy to welcome the Christ Child in said fashion.
JamVet @ 11:51- That’s a pretty accurate description of the origins of Christmas, which certainly is rooted in Pagan beliefs and took place long before the supposed birth of Jesus. However, your article assumes that Jesus was a real person. If he was, then no one on earth knew of him at the time. There are no written records of Jesus during the time he supposedly lived. No accounts of his “life” were documented until 70 years after he supposedly lived, and when those records appeared they were purely allegorical- metaphorical stories meant to reinforce a belief system rather than a historical, biographical account of real events. And almost all the godly events of Jesus’ life had been borrowed from the myths of previous cultures- the virgin birth, healing the sick, his execution and resurrection, etc. These stories existed long before Jesus supposedly lived. If he had lived and had been executed by Romans as it tells in the Bible there surely would have been a written record of it sometime around year one. But there’s not. Jesus was created around 67 AD when a new cult, an offshoot of Judaism, cobbled together fables from more ancient religions. Jesus almost certainly never existed. With that said, this atheist is enjoying the Pagan holiday, complete with Christmas trees, presents, children eating cookies, and hot tamales. Yes, it’s wonderful time.
Take your non Christian attitudes and stuff them or go out for Chinese and a movie. It’s Baby Jesus’ Birthday, plain and simple. Quit trying to two-step your own taking the day off, getting together to share food and presents with some citation of whatever else has become attached to the RELIGIOUS holiday (Holy Day…got it?)
I am not of the Christian faith, but I am ever so happy to be invited to Baby Jesus’ Birthday party. If you don’t want to be here, then go away for the day and let those for whom it IS celebrate without being Crazy Aunt Bette down from the attic to be the t*rd in the Yuletide Wassail bowl
We get a lesson on the lack of merit concerning the existence of Jesus himself–ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
By the way folks its is completely human like to take a day in which you as a people are forced to celebrate secular or Pagan gods and turn it into a day of your religious celebration upon being freed or liberated. So while the facts of the origin are true it’s not like the Jews or any other people under Roman rule were free to express any other religious celebration.
As for the exsistence of Jesus. Scholars debate as we speak wheather or not the Dead Sea Schrolls were written by Jesus himself and it certainly follows logic that the church would wipe the record clean of any Jesus references since they offered him to the Romans in an effort to get rid of him.
Considering the story is that the high priest and other religious leaders were concerned with his infulence and were not happy about being called out I would think they could have wiped him from the record books. Considering most were illiterate during that time it was the powerful who would tend to follow the law, that were doing the historical recordings.
On a better note of Christmas giving and kindness, Occupy groups through strikeforce.org bought millions of dollars of bad debt for pennies on the dollars relating to medical bills, housing and education. And then they sent a note to those borrowers who were in default and would have been hounded by debt collectors, that they wiped out the debt.
Well, the smell of roasting turkey is all thru the trailer and me and little Nathan Zell George are about wore out from playing with all the things he got. He also got a suitcase of PBR but since he’s a little young for that me and my buddy Jim Earl and my other buddy Joe Bill and maybe the Rev. Jim Bob Buice will help him play with that. We’ll try to leave the Rev. Jim Bob a couple, seeing as how he don’t show up till darkness comes. He can’t afford to have the cops see him around a kid and get arrested for parole violation and all that stuff.
Have a Merry Christmas everybody. I’ll try and not think about the wreckage you left at all the stores I service. I’ll worry about that Wednesday.
I didn’t find JamVet’s history lesson to be hateful or anti-Christian at all. It’s just history. Why do some people need to take offense at something in order to feel validated? Your Christmas is what YOU make it in any given year. Nobody is trying to stop you from doing what feels real to you.
WHEW!! Six hours in the kitchen a’ cookin’ and I’m worn out!!! But we did eat like kings, and my boys were blessed with their favorite holiday foods. Whatever your reason for celebrating this day, hug your precious ones a little tighter and sit back and appreciate just being alive and well on this day!!
If the food and lights and decorations and treats and presents and cards and carols and silly movies with the ones you love are not enough, then add a little Southern Comfort to the Egg Nog and slurp a cup or three! Merry Christmas!
Corbin, “Honestly I never figured you for a Christian. I mean, you are always projecting anger on this blog and I thought the followers of The Prince of Peace would be more mellow than that.”
I think it’s funny to see people who don’t believe a word of the Bible try to use it to silence Christians by taking cherry picked verses, mostly out of context.
Sorry, Corbin, I’m not playing your childish game. Go sell your hate somewhere else.
Yea, Jammie, and many people also “suffer” from the misconception we celebrate veterans on Veterans Day and remember those who served and died on Memorial Day too, right?!!

You are a mensch. You have my deepest thanks and respect. Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas All !!
Getalife,,, Really? Booze and Tobacco? Not very PC!
Actually I am going out to the back porch in a few minutes and smoke a “Cuba Libre” remedlos and socialize with the back porch cat before it gets too cold.
Hang out with Caligula? (Gaius Augustus actually, Caligula was a pet name given to his as a child by the army) A crazy guy with a death wish who slept with his sister? bizarre
Enjoy your Cigar!
I came to a truce years ago with my grown Daughters about Christmas presents. No more shopping and wringing hands about what I might like. Each year they give me a US Mint proof set of US coins in standard and silver coins. I collect coins and I love the proof sets (I keep them on display in my living room) and one day they will inherit something worth more that they paid for them. My Canadian Daughter has even continued the tradition by sending me a Canadian Coin proof set each year.
Have a healthy New Year Getalife (and all!).
you missed it Redneck Convert ,,

Sorry, you still have a way to go!..:)
josef – From the continent of Idia Indians. I don’t think we have any native American indians in the neighborhood. Thanks for the interesting history tidbit.
India, josef, not Idia.
I get such interesting discussion here sometimes. The rewriting of mythology to support a new religion takes a long view. I wonder if it could even be done today. We’ve seen what enough money can do to a political campaign. 2000 years ago, give or take a few decades, most history was word of mouth. An educated man would be able to twist the stories to his own purposes pretty easily.
Just because Christians coopted the pagan trappings of Christmas does not mean that Jesus was not real, didn’t die and was not resurrected.
Merry Christmas to Libs, Cons, Progs, Indies, Libertarians, Atheists and everyone else Jesus died for.
I didn’t figure what I had to say would go over real well in certain quarters! So be it, Our day in our own little multi-cultural corner of Western civilization? No t*rds in the wassail bowl, just peace on earth and good will toward our fellow human beings. So far this Season we’ve had our time with the Pagan (Halloween), the national feast of Thanksgiving, the historical celebration of Hannukah, the religious Holy Day of Christmas, and now on to the secular New Year…something in the season for everyone…if that’s okay…
I’m sure the guy from Jeff Shultz’s blog wouldn’t mind if you borrow his greeting.
“Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress,non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2013, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.”
“Once we get this hard evidence, we’ll all be glad to be a true Christian like you”
But we don’t need to. The information is freely available. Only God can call you to faith, not us. If you don’t feel that call, we can’t create it for you. It’s between you and God.
I’m talking about the testable evidence you have to support that faith.
From the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, you have a large body of religious belief whose authorship is totally unknown. And yet, a large part of your life rests on absolute belief in the validity of these religious instructions.
It just seems logical to ask for some solid evidence to support this kind of belief.
But then, your religious beliefs are about as logical as Santa Claus, Batman and the Tooth Fariy.
Saw django. C+. Three hours of the n word. Tarantino has lost it. Some great moments, but he tries too hard, and dialogue is cliche-riddled. Example: final line of dialogue is, “let’s get out of here.”.
When you say “blind faith” you’re talking to the wrong person. But to someone who doubts, there IS no proof that is acceptable. I wouldn’t even try, because there’s nothing I could say that would satisfy you. And that is not my issue. As I said, it’s between you and God. If you don’t feel the call to faith…you don’t feel it. No one can “prove” it to you.
“But then, your religious beliefs are about as logical as Santa Claus, Batman and the Tooth Fariy”
And you have NO IDEA what My religious beliefs even are. So you criticism falls on deaf ears.
I wouldn’t say most…but I would say too many do. I took the operative words in what you said to be “have to” Christians don’t HAVE TO hate anyone, but too many find someone or some group to hate anyway. I”ve long taken Jesus words that his way is “hard” not to mean that his tenets are difficult to follow, because they aren’t, but what IS hard is to let go of old attitudes and hatreds. And some people just can’t do that, and don’t even try.
Christians do not hate anyone not like them. Sure there are the nutjobs like those from Westboro but they certainly do not represent the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians. Just because we don’t accept and approve of those things the Bible call sin does not make us haters. Most of the genuine hate I see on Jay’s and other blogs is that towards those who identify as Christians and have the temerity to defend their faith. Because I have a Biblical worldview, I abhor the social policies of this President but I do not hate him. I pray for him and hope that one day he too will turn away from the Secular Humanistic, Morally Relativistic worldview that drives his social policy. I, like Doggone, believe that the evidence is out there sufficient for someone to make a reasoned decision for Jesus Christ. I respect your right to reject that evidence and make a different decision. Merry Christmas…truly
“of the genuine hate I see on Jay’s and other blogs is that towards those who identify as Christians and have the temerity to defend their faith”
You have obviously not been paying REAL attention. First, I’ve seldom seen TRUE hatred here…and most of the criticism *I* see is saved for those who profess to be Christians, but whose words belie that faith.
Much of the vitriol that has been directed towards several identifying as Christians here strikes me as genuine and heartfelt. The secular humanists are quick to misquote Jesus’s words on judging but judge Christians as to whether or not those words belie that faith in this medium which I believe is a serious challenge. I know you have frequented this blog a great deal since I have been visiting and maybe you don’t see it as I do…and that’s ok too I just know that the haters come out quickly upon identification before they even engage those who claim the name.
There are no written records of Jesus during the time he supposedly lived. No accounts of his “life” were documented until 70 years after he supposedly lived, and when those records appeared they were purely allegorical- metaphorical stories meant to reinforce a belief system rather than a historical, biographical account of real events. And almost all the godly events of Jesus’ life had been borrowed from the myths of previous cultures- the virgin birth, healing the sick, his execution and resurrection, etc. These stories existed long before Jesus supposedly lived.
Yes and NO. Both the Koran and the writings of Buddha mention Jesus.
In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God’s important prophets.[34][35] In Islam, Jesus is a bringer of scripture, and the product of a virgin birth, but not the victim of crucifixion. Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.[36] Bahá’í scripture almost never refers to Jesus as the Messiah, but calls him a Manifestation of God.
Separate non-Christian sources used to establish the historical existence of Jesus include the works of 1st century Roman historians Josephus and Tacitus.[288][295] Josephus scholar Louis H. Feldman has stated that “few have doubted the genuineness” of Josephus’ reference to Jesus in Antiquities 20, 9, 1 and it is only disputed by a small number of scholars.[289][296][297][298] Bart D. Ehrman states that the existence of Jesus and his crucifixion by the Romans is attested to by a wide range of sources, including Josephus and Tacitus.[299]
The historical existence of Jesus as a person is a separate issue from any religious discussions about his divinity, or the theological issues relating to his nature as man or God.
In essence, Jesus DID exist. Whether he was divine or not is up to the faith of the reader.
“I just know that the haters come out quickly upon identification before they even engage those who claim the name”
Hang around. You’ll find that the true haters don’t stay very long. But there ARE too many who call criticism “hatred” They’re wrong. And there’s nothing wrong with quoting the do not judge injuction to people who can’t seem to understand it.
Did your “puppies” have a great Christmas too? I bought mine all sorts of toys, (that they really don’t need); and a couple of those dried up bones you get at PetCo.
they got the treat they love the most: leftovers from Christmas dinner! We had a nice, quiet Christmas this year. My sister had to work all day, and it was too darn wet and foggy to even think of getting out. So we all just lazed around and watched TV all day.
they got the treat they love the most: leftovers from Christmas dinner!
Word!
We had a nice, quiet Christmas this year. My sister had to work all day, and it was too darn wet and foggy to even think of getting out. So we all just lazed around and watched TV all day.
Yeah it was AWFUL most of the day — I went to the hospital to see my sister and the twins. Those boys are FAT! They were crying because they were hungry, (again), and those little carrier thingies that the nurses put them in were just shaking and rocking. My sister couldn’t feed them fast enough!
She comes home tomorrow and still hasn’t named them yet — I’m still pushing for her to name at least ONE Deacon — I think she hates that name though!
This has been a really great Christmas this year — I got two new HEALTHY nephews and my sister is healthy and doing fine. I am blessed and happy as a bug in a rug!
josef — why did Fred call you a mensch? What does that mean? Was he insulting you? Want me to go after him for calling you out of your name? It’ll be my gift to you — you won’t have to be banned for 2 weeks, I’ll take the hit for you!
Georgia: Saw django. C+. Three hours of the n word. Tarantino has lost it. Some great moments, but he tries too hard, and dialogue is cliche-riddled. Example: final line of dialogue is, “let’s get out of here.”.
IMO Tarantino, after Pulp Fiction, has been going steadily downhill. Without the “n” word, what basically are his movies ABOUT? Shooting, cursing, and dying. The End. What’s the point?
DDR – glad to hear your sister and the babies are doing well. That’s the best Christmas present of all!
Amen to that. I was really worried for my sister; her first pregnancy was a breeze, but this one was hell! I was scared i was going to loose her; but like i said, she’s fine and she’s just GLOWING with happiness. Her family is now complete. I’ve been begging her to PLEASE get her tubes tied! She’s a practicing catholic so she doesn’t believe in birth control, but she’s really a bit too “old” to be having anymore children.
I’m hoping our mother can talk sense into her. My mom, the super-catholic, had her tubes tied after she had child number 9. My mother was like, “Hey god knows my heart and he KNOWS i’m sick of being pregnant!”
Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza to all what hang out here on Jay’s blog. Over here @ the Barackisha household we gathering round the 12 inch b&w TV to watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation for about the fiftieth time @ 9pm.
True Christians do not hate individuals personally but they deplore the acts that individuals take that is against the teachings of God. Some people can not separate the act from the person and there is where some Christians get into trouble because they should never judge the person just rebuke the act. The other issues is non believers do not like to be called out for their immoral acts. They know they are acting wrong but instead of accepting the facts they lash out against the ones bringing their immoral acts out.
“My mom, the super-catholic, had her tubes tied after she had child number 9. My mother was like, “Hey god knows my heart and he KNOWS i’m sick of being pregnant!”
I love it! God said “Be fruitful and multiply” and I think it’s safe to say we HAVE. We were talking the other day about animals multiplying to the point where they eat themselves out of survivable habitat. I’ve never seen anything in that injunction that says WE should do the same thing!
“The other issues is non believers do not like to be called out for their immoral acts. They know they are acting wrong but instead of accepting the facts they lash out against the ones bringing their immoral acts out.”
there is some truth in that, but I think the main problem is the people don’t like to be called immoral for things that AREN’T
Word. Women who have multiple pregnancies, especially multiple pregnancies close together, have lots of problems later in life.
My mother had to get a “bladder mesh”(?) or something like that because pregnancies result in pressure on your bladder and it stretches or something……..at any rate, as she aged she had problems with it.
She also had back problems, and vericose veins. The muscle tone in her stomach never returned to what it was, pre-child #4, no matter how many situps and crunches she did; so she had her stomach “tucked”(?) — her waist is now a stunning 20″ (mine is 21 — I HATE her ).
So she is one to quickly point out the fallacy of a bunch of MEN, (priests/pope), telling WOMEN about NOT taking birth control; when they have no idea, nor do they care, about the consequences of multiple pregnancies on some women’s bodies.
No…no insult at all and quite the opposite. It’s Yiddish and really means “person, human being.” it’s used whenever somebody does or says something honorable and worthy of respect. It’s about the most complimentary term in Yiddish. It’s not used lightly.
“And there is the major rub. A persons belief system as to what is and is not moral and proper behavior”
Well, I’ll tell you how *I* see it. To me all sin (or immorality, if you prefer) is the betrayal of an innocent trust. The greater the innocence and/or the greater the betrayal…the worse the sin. I do not label anything a sin (or immorality) if there is no betrayal of INNOCENT trust.
One has to wonder about people who spend so much time hating Christians. if you don’t believe then shut up and go on your merry way. Nobody cares about your opinion. And why is it mostly Christianity they mouth spend douch time trying to disprove. Why don’t they jump on Islam or Hinduism?
Not wanting to argue or be considered hostile on this of all days but just really trying to understand.
If I understand your statement correctly, a person that steals something from a child is worse then a person that steals something of equal value from an adult?
“If I understand your statement correctly, a person that steals something from a child is worse then a person that steals something of equal value from an adult?”
I will have to ponder that one for a while but my first reaction would be that stealing is equal no matter who it is against. Although, we do have some laws in place to back up your thought process.
“I will have to ponder that one for a while but my first reaction would be that stealing is equal no matter who it is against. Although, we do have some laws in place to back up your thought process”
but I’m not talking legalities. I’m talking sin (immorality) Stealing from a child is betraying an innocent. Presumably, an adult has already had their innocence betrayed many times and is therefore more equipped to deal with that betrayal. A child is not…or shouldn’t be.
td – this statement from DogGone says it all about SOME people and religion (IMO):
It’s always a problem when doctrine is more important then people
Now i have been blessed in life to meet REAL believers. And these believers called themselves Christians, some called themselves Hindu, some called themselves Moslem; but ALL were real in their faith.
I have YET to find one TRULY religious doctrine that preaches hate and discord.
The bible teaches love.
The Koran teaches love.
The teachings of Buddha are about loving oneself and therefore you are able to love others.
The Hindu teaches a love of a higher plane.
It’s the TRUE believers that are the real followers of their faith.
But, unfortunately, its their evil twins that are highlighted on blogs, in the media, and in the businesses and offices/workplaces around the world.
IMO its not the true believers that make non-believers sneer, point, and ridicule them. It’s their evil twins who profess to love God, yet hate their neighbors.
The problem I am having with your logic is it would mean stealing from a 40 year old would be worse then stealing from a 80 year old. If one took it to the next level then the life of a 40 year old is worth more then the life of the 80 year old and the life of a 5 year old is worth more then a 30 year old.
Not to worry…I like Fred a lot myself…hesvlike popeye, he yam what he yam and thss all that he yam! But good to know you’ve got my back. The Boa Society has to stick together, ya know, with all those pretenders out there!
Oh, yeah, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Glad to know there are new ones to carry on! A special baruch
Do not totally disagree DDR. The problem is we can not see into the hearts of these so called confessed believers. We do not know if they are fallen believers, never were believers or just profess to be believers for some type of personal benefit.
“The problem I am having with your logic is it would mean stealing from a 40 year old would be worse then stealing from a 80 year old”
No it wouldn’t. Why would you think a 40 year old is more innocent than an 80 year old?
“If one took it to the next level then the life of a 40 year old is worth more then the life of the 80 year old and the life of a 5 year old is worth more then a 30 year old”
You are focusing too much on age, not innocence. And “worth” is a legal idea. Again, I’m not talking legalities. I am talking the betrayal of innocence.
Tarantino puts in a cameo in Django, and really hams it up. Charlie Rose interview: “I make movies not just for now, but for forty years from now.” I can wait.
td: The problem is we can not see into the hearts of these so called confessed believers. We do not know if they are fallen believers, never were believers or just profess to be believers for some type of personal benefit.
True. The bible states “By their works, you will know”; and if some people on these blogs are stating that they are christians; by their WORDS; I can’t see it.
===================
Now, I wanna rock! Its not a christmas song, but what the heck!?!
Maybe I am focusing on the age thing to much but there is still some issues regarding the innocence thing also. Your theory would say a virgin being raped is a worse moral trepidation then a prostitute being raped because presumable the virgin has more innocents in the ways of the world then the prostitute. Am I wrong in this interpretation of the theory?
“Your theory would say a virgin being raped is a worse moral trepidation then a prostitute being raped because presumable the virgin has more innocents in the ways of the world then the prostitute. Am I wrong in this interpretation of the theory?”
Yes, you are correct. The greater the innocence the greater the sin. But you are failing to state that BOTH are still SINS
I really can’t stay
Baby it’s cold outside
I gotta go away
Baby it’s cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that youd drop by
So very nice
I’ll hold your hands their just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what’s your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I better scurry
Beautiful please don’t hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
Baby it’s bad out there
Say.. what’s in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how to break the spell
Your eyes are like starlight now
I’ll take your hat your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no sir
Mind if move in closer?
At least I’m gonna say that I tried
What’s the sense of hurtin’ my pride?
I really can’t stay
Baby don’t hold out
(Both) Ahh but its cold outside!
OK — now I’m gonna dedicate this one to my husband — who gave me a BIG AZZ ring for christmas!! i can’t WAIT to show it off to all my girlfriends when I see them next week! They are gonna be jealous!!!
Well i’m feelin’ mighty fine, got good music on my radio
Well i’m feelin’ mighty fine, got good music on my radio
Well i wanna kiss you baby,
While you’re standing ‘neath the mistletoe
If you think you’re lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you’re lonely now
You better wake up, yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you’re lonely now
If you think you’re lonely now
Hold on, ooh yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
Ooh, yeah
This last one is for everyone on the blog. It’s been a rough year for some of us, and some of us have had to deal with death, divorce, make ups, break ups and sickness.
But we made it ya’ll! We had to deal with all the things that the world threw at us, but we’re still here!
So this is for all of us Bookmananiacs! Merry Christmas and see ya’ll next week, (or sooner )
I still can’t get over Django. Three hours. The n word was used at least a thousand times in that movie. Literally every other word. Tarantino said that he couldn’t imagine anyone else but Jamie Fox as Django. Hasn’t Tarantino seen Blazing Saddles? Fox was a terrible choice. Barely worked. Barely. The whole thing leaned too far toward Mel Brooks. There’s a bit with the KKK where the terrorists complain about their costumes. It’s funny, and one of the highlights, but it’s unearned. It’s like the director watched a Seinfeld marathon and seeing a documentary on medieval torture techniques. The contrast in tone is too disconcerting and you get the feeling that the shark gets jumped over and over and over. I have been searching for an original artist all my life. I want to be amused by something new, that has no references. I think I’ve seen every movie in 2014. Okay? Movie pitches are always, “It’s like Mission Impossible with Vampires”. Tarantino is like most successful artists: they think they’re infallible and they truly believe every pronouncement is law and every idea will work. It’s a great time to be a yes man.
Which version of Christian. That seems to be part of the problem whether the dogma is Christian, Judaism, Islam… Each sect wants to be the most right. I don’t know enough about Hinduism, but they may be the same. Or maybe the presence of multiple gods allows them to be more tolerant.
Indigo, that certainty is present in every sect of every religious belief. Another person is just as certain as you that something else holds the truth.
Indigo — I don’t think Mary was averse to the Holy Spirit impregnating her. She had grew up with the scriptures and heard about them all of her life, so she would’ve known that to be the “Earthly mother of the son of God, the mother of the Saviour of her people”; would be a great honor.
Could she have said No and not faced consequences? Perhaps — but we’ll never know.
Luke 1:30-39
English Standard Version (ESV)
30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”[a]
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[b] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[c] of the Lord; let it be to me according to you

Gale,
Good morning to you cousin…your 0858 is well said and absolutely correct. My problem with the Christian Sect is there absolute belief that theirs is the only way when they have absolutely no proof that is so (Oh, oh, here comes “the Bible said so” BS again.) As I said, no proof at all. God is God, One God to all…don’t need anything else. Merry Agnostic celebration of Children Day y’all…
Good morning Corbin. My life is so much easier without the knowledge that I have the one and only truth. I can accept that many people believe many things that help them to be good people. For me, it is enough.
First off, ANY religion is based on FAITH. Nothing more nothing less. You either believe or you DON’T believe. totally up to you.
Secondly — Mary ASSENTED, so she was not raped. Through out the bible God always gives you a choice; and he always lets you keep your free will — even in the times of Adam & Eve; they had choices and CHOSE to disobey.
I’ve yet to meet any sane person who doesn’t “cherry pick” their holy texts; even if you claim to believe in every word of your text, you still have to assign priorities, which is another kind of picking-and-choosing, after all.
indigo – What do you CARE about DogGone’s beliefs? Are you planning on converting her to Hari Krishna or something? If not, what’s it to you?
And, YES, I believe in the Bible and it’s words; although I consider myself Christ Like; but I DON’T consider myself rabid in my faith.
Although I believe, I still question — although I have faith, I still hold back on some things i find unpleasant.
But since I am a 21st Century woman, I feel that I would OF COURSE find some things in teh bible objection.
Such as:
The passage in Genesis that speaks of Sodom & Gommorrah and Lot wanting to give his daughters to strange men:
Lot refused to give his guests to the inhabitants of Sodom and, instead, offered them his two virgin daughters “which have not known man” and to “do ye to them as [is] good in your eyes”.[Gen 19:8]
and many others. Got to answer another question! (sigh…..)

Two things i would like to gently point out…the first being is that i believe you when you say the Bible gives you a choice to do right or wrong, but sadly, there are those among us who would put themselves above God and try to legislate Gods choice away.
And secondly, there is a fine line between faith and delusion. Faith can accept other concepts with open eyes and not be affected. Delusion, on the other hand, has eyes tightly closed to anything…
This topic still going? Anyone else see the parallels between the earnest atheists and the earnest ‘the earth is really really 10000 hears old’ types who occasionally appear? They are both irritatingly amusing in their own way.
Morning, DDR!
Glad you had a great time with The Princess and I bet you made a great Santa, too!
Richard K. Armey, the group’s chairman and a former House majority leader, walked into the group’s Capitol Hill offices with his wife, Susan, and an aide holstering a handgun at his waist. The aim was to seize control of the group and expel Armey’s enemies: The gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey suspended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.
Georgia — “I still can’t get over Django. Three hours. The n word was used at least a thousand times in that movie. Literally every other word.”
Mrs. JHM kinda wants to see Django, but I just plain don’t care for Tarantino’s films. I’ve *tried* to sit through them — really, I have — but I think they’re just unoriginal ripoff suckfests. Frankly, I don’t think Tarantino has an original idea in his head and I think that everything he puts on film — and I do mean EVERYTHING — is something he saw, read about or heard someplace else and figured ‘dude, that sounds so cool, I’m just going to have to put it in my next movie.’ Then he does exactly that, shoehorning it in there whether it fits or not.
From my perspective, it’s like Quentin Tarantino used to be the student body of a film school, then after a bomb blew everything and everybody in the school all to hell, a surgeon stitched together all the body parts he could find, substituting pages from textbooks and little bitty film clips for skin and bones when no parts that fit could be found. What the surgeon ended up with was Quentin Tarantino.
And SOMEHOW, that man keeps conning Hollywood movers and shakers into paying for him to substitute filmmaking for psychoanalysis.
Paul — “I thought Inglorious Basterds was pretty original and amusing.”
When I watched it, I felt like I was seeing other war movies copied, nodded to or outright ripped off every two minutes. But I do think that Christoph Waltz did a great job in his role and I don’t begrudge him his Oscar.
I suppose that’s true of a number of WWII movies. I will add I don’t much care for realistic violence. Just don’t care to watch it. But the acting in that particular Tarantino movie was exceptional.
Come to think of it, I do believe that’s the only one of his movies I’ve watched from start to finish.
Paul — “I suppose that’s true of a number of WWII movies. I will add I don’t much care for realistic violence. Just don’t care to watch it. But the acting in that particular Tarantino movie was exceptional.”
My wife and I were discussing the topic of WWII on film a while back, and she commented that while she didn’t usually like war films, she enjoyed the Band of Brothers miniseries FAR more than she enjoyed The Pacific despite the fact that they were both made by the same production house (Tom Hanks’ Playtone).
I had read BoB when it was first published, and I was somewhat familiar with the life stories of the three Marines who were focused on in The Pacific (Eugene Sledge, Robert Leckie and John Basilone), but I had to agree with her. BoB was just plain *more engaging* than The Pacific. And both had plenty of violence, but my wife actually *paid attention to* and asked questions about some of the firefights (specifically the Brecourt Manor assault and Captain Speirs’ notable run between the lines in Holland).
I think it’s because the characters in BoB just plain connected better with the audience — even though I knew the story and knew what was going to happen, I *cared* more about the 505th than I did the three Marines in The Pacific.
Did you see both miniseries? If so, what did you think?
I agree with your take. Rather lost interest in the Pacific story but BoB – it was much more about how they were bound together at a very human level (and as trite as that may sound it’s what came through to me).
Correction to above — the Band of Brothers were in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, not the 505th. I blame insufficient caffeination this morning.

“This topic still going? Anyone else see the parallels between the earnest atheists and the earnest ‘the earth is really really 10000 hears old’ types who occasionally appear? They are both irritatingly amusing in their own way.”
Just my EOI contribution, but they both come off sounding like a tent revivalist. Change one’s “yes” to a “no” and the others’ “no” to a “yes” and you couldn’t tell the difference in their fire and brimstone rhetorical devices. And, you’re right, for all their irritating nyanh-nyanh, they are decidedly amusing.

Why would someone lick spittle? Would one have to be delusional?
…………………………………………………………….
I’m fairly sure that at some time in my reckless youth I have said
‘I would certainly lick the spit(tle) off of that’ and yes, I was probably
delusional at the time.
I was struck with the attitudes of the actors in their roles, especially with the Army humor, prevalent in combat units.
I did see and liked Band of brothers. As far as a great rendition of a great story, it was fantastic. I haven’t seen “The Pacific” yet (I was hoping to get a copy for “All Children’s Day”
But I guess I didn’t qualify.
JHM, I was wondering if part of the difference in the movies to your wife was because of the Japanese enemy versus the German one? As in race and culture…
Over the years, I’ve had people from many different denominations tell me they KNOW they’re right and are going to heaven. I’ve had Catholics tell me they’re right and are the only ones going to heaven.
It makes no logical sense whatsover to believe a “God of love” would expect us fallible humans to somehow be able to unerringly know which religious belief is the “right” one.
Therefore, I’m forced to believe they are all myths and we will never know why we’re here.
I have not been in a war situation, But I imagine it would come down to what is visible to the individual if you are trying to portray the story of a few people.
“JHM, I was wondering if part of the difference in the movies to your wife was because of the Japanese enemy versus the German one? As in race and culture…”
I kinda doubt it; my wife’s (very) extended family contains a lot of fine Kansas farmers of German descent, so she’s certainly got some cultural familiarity there. Plus, when she was a kid, one of her family’s friends (who often babysat her and her brother) was a Hiroshima survivor who actually immigrated to the US. Since I find that part of WWII history fascinating (the rush by several nations to develop the A-bomb), I’ve grilled her relentlessly about that figure from her past.
As I said, I was fairly familiar with the story of The Pacific, having served in Hawaii myself and having read a lot of history of WWII in the theater, and since I had already read BoB when it came out, I figured I would enjoy The Pacific just as much. I suppose the fact that the three main characters in The Pacificweren’t connected (they all served in the 1st Marine Division in the Pacific, but in different regiments and I don’t think they knew each other) makes a lot of the difference. I think you’re totally on target about the human dimension and the bonding among the soldiers being a key part of what draws the audience in so effectively.
FWIW, I thought that Basilone’s death in the miniseries, despite being overdramatized and played up via slo-mo, was (IMO) MUCH less dramatic and impactful than the Bastogne scenes in BoB where Toye and Guarnere both lose their legs or in which George Luz sees Muck and Penkala evaporate due to a direct artillery strike on their foxhole.

It’s funny, but I served most of my navy career in the Pacific, and been to “all the places”, hell I even did a little extra’s acting on “Tora, Tora, Tora”. My father was army in WWII and experienced “The Bulge”, first hand with Patton. If I had been alive then, I probably would have been navy, hopefully on a Fletcher, guarding the Carriers…But it would have been terrifying to be on the picket line at Okinawa during “Kamikaze season”…That suicide concept would have scared the hell out of me. That’s why I asked what I did about your wife. They were two totally different wars, both terrifying, but the pacific was brutal beyond imagination. No quarter asked, and none given. I salute the European Theater Fighters, bur my hat is off to the Pacific Fighter and his time in Hell…
My wife’s Uncle Robert Filkosky(you can google), a marine, fought
in the Pacific with Lee Marvin, until Marvin was wounded, and fought
on until the war ended. After the war both were in L.A. and continued
the friendship until Marvin died.
Well, all I can say is that grandkid of Bookman’s is going to be a actress, ’cause if that ain’t striking a pose before a camera I never seen one. How do they learn that early?
It’s back to the grind for old Redneck. All the stores look like a bomber has hit them and judging from how much beer was sold I’d say some of the buyers won’t be sobering up for a month or two.
Anyhow, funny how these old vets are talking about the battles of WWII. All I know is, nobody on Guam when I was stationed there ever walked into the jungle. Rumor was there was still Japanese soldiers hiding out there 15 years after the war ended and nobody was anxious to encounter one.
Have a good day after Christmas everybody. I reckon some of the less bright people are at the shopping malls. The merchants there have no doubt returned the prices to double what they paid for the stuff they sell and people think they’re getting a bargain.
I also like my share of gratuitous violence, (i AM american after all); but I prefer films that ask questions and makes you think real hard about your answers.
I also like romantic comedy, comedy, and a really GOOD spaghetti western!

Can’t disagree…certainly one of my favorite books..the idea that most of the participants (particularly the Germans) had no idea what they were fighting for is stunning. Jose Maria Remarque (sp?) is one of my favorite authors…
As for Tarantino, I think he is one of the most gifted directors in his genre..or the genre he modernized. Those who dislike him generally don’t like violence or understand that his movies are generally comedic productions of historical gore films combined with awesome scriptwriting.
Those who judge him would do well to recognize his talent despite not liking his product.
No argument on the Spike Lee analysis. I’m not too sure if Tarantino would have made Pulp Fiction what it was without Spike’s help. Spike is the one who introduced Samuel L. Jackson to the world.
I’ve always thought that any young man who is comtemplating joining the Army or Marines and going into a combat unit should read All Quiet On The Western Front first.
Cannon fodder seems to be as popular among Military big-wigs and politicians today as it was in WWI.

Or, for a more modern take, read or watch Jarhead.

likewise with the Air Force and ‘Catch 22′
If you want to watch a great movie that gratuitously uses the N word, I recommend Blazing Saddles… One of my all time faves. It reminds me of today’s GOP…
I’m not sure how much or what kind of racist Spike Lee is, but he knows his diatribes get press and that’s important in his line of work. That’s one of the reasons I don’t much care for his personality. He capitalizes on it.
BROSEPHUS
Yep. Give him his kudos for bringing us Samuel L. Jackson…a great American, he!
I understand that a lot of the uproar over Django has to do with the (perceived?) overuse of the N-word. I recognize that the casual use of that word would certainly be appropriate to the milieu of the time and the film, and I understand that some of the actors in the film had a very hard time delivering that word over and over again.
That said, I recently caught the early portion of Roots on the tube, which certainly uses that N-word quite a bit. And I don’t recall — did that cause an uproar at the time? Were viewers (and the actors in the miniseries) likewise troubled by it?
getalife
I recommend documentaries like The Fog of War.
………………………………………………….
I hope you never see one titled The Frog of War..I’m
paranoid of high school biology science teachers.
JHM – My recollections of the Roots controversy was that the use of the N word was not as controversial as the overall subject. If there was controversy over the word then, I don’t recall it. But then I lived (at that time) in an area of the country where use of the word was common among white folk when persons of darker persuasions were not present and when they were it was common to try to claim that “N-words came in all colors” or some such absurdity.
And speaking of controversial directors, I cannot fathom why Penny Marshall is ignored. That dang “there’s no crying in baseball” line is just haunting.
indigo: Almost all police forces in America have black officers. Just what are you talking about?
indigo — are you obsessed with race and racial matters? My comment didn’t mention race — nor does it explicitly imply RACIAL overtones. Perhaps I should’ve given better examples of police brutality — however i was just trying to give you a few “well known” (in the national news) examples of police brutality.
These were the ones more nationally known, I never said nor did I suggest that police brutality is sustained to one race or group of people — meaning not all are men and not all are white men, (and let me repeat that nor did i suggest that police brutality is sustained to one race or group of people — meaning not all are men and not all are white men).
A good example is the police brutality case of a returning Mexican American servicemember, who served in Iraq/Afghanistan and who was an MP while stationed overseas, and a BLACK police officer.
Now, if you DO see everything as a black vs. white situation; that would explain a LOT of your posts on this blog. If you don’t and just wish for me to clarify my comments then please except my apologies.
Joe: That said, I recently caught the early portion of Roots on the tube, which certainly uses that N-word quite a bit. And I don’t recall — did that cause an uproar at the time? Were viewers (and the actors in the miniseries) likewise troubled by it?
Saw it too! As a matter of fact, I “taped” it to see again at my leisure when I get a chance.
To answer your question, NO, as far as I know they didn’t have a problem with the use of the word.
For one, it was historical in its context, and for another, they were probably just happy to be working on a major project and didn’t want to cause too many waves.
Those terms go in and out of fashion, dependent on the temperament of the time. When I was a young buck, “queer” was fighting words. Today it is increasingly becoming the en vogue/pc term. I just got through reading “Men Like That,” a serious academic study of gay life in Mississippi in the mid 2Oth Century. The author consistently uses the term “queer” in both his work and in his self identification. Who knows where a particular word out of fashion now will be in another generation or two?
Sorry, DDR, I know that you’d like to believe that Jesus actually existed, but you can’t use the musings of other cults (Islam, Judaism) to substantiate the assertions of another one (Christianity). Ancient cults readily shared and borrowed myths from one another, which is how the idea of Jesus first came into being. So because Jesus appears in other religious texts does not provide evidence of his existence.
You should also consider your sources. Wikipedia is pretty a low bar, and if you look at the quotes from your source that seem to insist on Jesus’ existence, those sources are very weak. They are from theologians who are invested (literally and figuratively) in having people believe that he existed. They have made it their lives’ work to treat fables as reality and have made their names and fortunes from convincing others to accept fiction as historical fact. Of course they would insist that Jesus existed. That does not mean he did.
As to your assertion that all religions are built on love, that is a nice politically correct position, but it does not correspond with reality. I don’t think any religion that calls for the systematic murder of people can be considered a religion of love (whether the killing is for working on Sunday, not believing in a particular god, sex out of wedlock or with someone of the same sex, etc.). Not to mention abhorrent views on slavery the treatment of women, etc. So Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are most certainly not religions of love.
Many of the people who follow those religions may legitimately be good people (and many may not be), but they are not good people simply because they are followers of specific cult, one that you insist is rooted in love but whose main text would suggest otherwise.
That said, I recently caught the early portion of Roots on the tube, which certainly uses that N-word quite a bit. And I don’t recall — did that cause an uproar at the time?
Don’t know about any uproar over the use of the N word as it was still thrown out by bigoted Whites in my part of Alabama then, but there were quite a few fights over the course of the week that it originaly aired. I remember my family members coming home and talking about the fights at school.
indigo — are you obsessed with race and racial matters?
new here, are you?
indigo makes sense a lot of the time, but give him the flimsiest excuse to play de po’ ‘pressed white man card, and I’m trying to work out a trade with the conservatives to take him for a bag of baseballs and gross of jockstraps.
R. W. Troll — “Roots will probably be banned by wing nuts in their quest to sanitize our country’s history.”
I remember watching each night of it and then discussing it the next day in my high school Social Studies class, so I do recall the *series* being a big deal, but I couldn’t remember if a generous sprinkling of the N-word on prime-time national TV caused any sort of uproar at the time or not.
I do recall that, some years later, there was a joke on SNL’s Weekend Update about Kunta Kinte rising up from enslavement to eventually become first in his class at Starfleet Academy (after LeVar Burton was cast in Star Trek: The Next Generation)
JHM
I don’t recall even a discussion on the use of the word in Roots…of course Don Rickles was popular then too…sensitivities are different today for sure
Corbin Sharpe 12:13
The Navy has always honored Frogs, even naming some of
their men Frogmen, but the marines, silly boys, don’t realize
their amphibious natures make them more akin to frogs than
navy guys. Alas the traitorous navy has resorted to bringing
Seals into the picture knowing full well that seals have to
remain beached unless assisted by other species.
What I mostly remember about Roots was that it was the first American made-for-commercial-TV miniseries to handle as remotely contentious a topic as American slavery, and most who watched it were somewhat dumbstruck by its relative novelty.
I’m sure the press were mostly positive that the network had stuck its neck out–when you think about it, this was a risky proposition. Alienate a lot of viewers and you have some very unhappy advertisers, and a lot of sunk costs in a production that won’t make money if it’s re-run later.
In this context, I don’t recall its scripted use of “n—-r” sticking out like a sore thumb at all.
Progress: Sorry, DDR, I know that you’d like to believe that Jesus actually existed, but you can’t use the musings of other cults (Islam, Judaism) to substantiate the assertions of another one (Christianity). Ancient cults readily shared and borrowed myths from one another, which is how the idea of Jesus first came into being.

Josephus — an ancient historian who writings are used to base other historical facts upon, speaks of Jesus as being a real person too.
Progress: ou should also consider your sources. Wikipedia is pretty a low bar, and if you look at the quotes from your source that seem to insist on Jesus’ existence, those sources are very weak.
Granted Wikipedia is not the epitome of “totally accurate” however, whenever i pull something from Wikipedia i ALWAYS look at their source data, (which is listed at the bottom), of where they’re getting their information from.
If the majority of their information is received from inaccurate or slanted sources, (like MAD Magazine or the KKK blog or something), then I won’t use them as a reference. You can always check to see what is posted as truth.
Another reason I like to use Wikipedia is that they have a lot of information crammed into a “KISS” format. I could pull up various websites that deal with the historical data; or I can direct you to one website that has all of it in one.
Progress: As to your assertion that all religions are built on love, that is a nice politically correct position, but it does not correspond with reality. I don’t think any religion that calls for the systematic murder of people can be considered a religion of love (whether the killing is for working on Sunday, not believing in a particular god, sex out of wedlock or with someone of the same sex, etc.). Not to mention abhorrent views on slavery the treatment of women, etc. So Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are most certainly not religions of love.
You have to take into consideration the times in which these writings /religious texts took place and judge them on that.
Killing infidels, (except I think for Buddhism), is common theme among religious texts — but they also give information on LOVING your neighbors and how to treat your slaves with regard and how to treat your neighbors/wives/etc.
Progress: Many of the people who follow those religions may legitimately be good people (and many may not be), but they are not good people simply because they are followers of specific cult, one that you insist is rooted in love but whose main text would suggest otherwise.
I disagree. I feel that because they believe in a higher power, (or a religion if you will) whatever that power may be, AND choose to practice their belief in the purity from which it springs that they have found a peace and a love that some will never possess. Perhaps its just a panacea or an opiate to soothe them, perhaps it isn’t — whatever it is,it boils down to faith.
I do not play “the po’ ‘pressed white man card”. Of course, if you can find even ONE of my posts where I somehow blame all my troubles on black folks, then go for it.
SfD — “Alienate a lot of viewers and you have some very unhappy advertisers”
Just out of curiosity, I wonder when Nielsen and Arbitron started tracking viewer habits by race, rather than just by age and gender? If African-American viewers weren’t explicitly broken out in the demographics, then it might not even be apparent that viewers were alienated at all. It’s entirely possible that whatever reaction the black community (as a whole) had might have been lost in the data if the raters weren’t tracking by race.
A major plus to all religions is the time required for practitioners to
participate in worship and the subsequent available barstools for
the rest of us.
B. Frog — “A major plus to all religions is the time required for practitioners to

I wonder when Nielsen and Arbitron started tracking viewer habits by race, rather than just by age and gender?
dunno. Think I’d be fairly shocked if they didn’t have a pretty good handle on that kind of demographic information by the 70s; it would make their data far more valuable and there’d be no reason not to seek it from participants.
(remember, Neilson didn’t just track viewing habits of people with “the box,” they also routinely solicited volunteers to fill out paper logs. I remember my family had one, once. Can’t remember what kind of information they might’ve asked about us, but it wouldn’t have been surprising if race or ethnicity were included.)
There are certainly a few (not all by any means) Christians on this blog who love to cram their beliefs down other blogger’s throats. I have no problem saying that because I have read it in various forms more times than I can or care to count and at times have said my peace regarding those posts and bloggers.
With that said, outside of someone attempting to cram their beliefs down your throat, does it matter if someone believes that Jesus was a real man or is a “symbol”?
To me it makes no difference at all in how I chose to live my life and what I believe or do not believe.
Hopefully someone believing that Jesus actually lived hasn’t impacted you in a negative way.
indigo: “People like him can speak up” strongly implies you mean famous and rich black people who can speak their peace and not worry about police reprisals.
Sigh. You ARE obsessed with race! I feels sad sad for you! I can’t understand this obsession with race that seems to pervade the south, (sorry josef — but it DOES!)
I come from Washington state — where YES we have racial problems, just as any country in the WORLD; yet our minds are not CONSUMED by race, race, race 24/7 and push it into every crack and crevice of our subjective being.
When I said, “people like him”, I meant people with a VOICE — but you know what indigo, why bother?
I’m not even going there with you. Since you feel you know me and SoCoBro so well, and can see our thoughts……….
……………….Guess what I’m thinking right now………………….
HINT: It’s about you………………
I am “obsessed with race and racial matters” no more or less than you and Brosephus.
As to Neilsen, I always answer surveys with completely erroneous
information and wonder how many others do the same and I am
wise to the tricky little questions they include to determine if you
are lying.

When I was in grad school, we spent a good bit of time discussing Nielsens’ methodology (it has quite a few flaws), and the books were a contentious topic. Some felt that it was too easy for survey families to fudge the data and write down what they thought they ’should’ have been watching, not what they actually *did* watch. The professor also contended that Neilsen had historically had problems with minority sampling, and that they paid survey families more if they were minorities.
IIRC, Nielsen *already* knows your ethnicity, at least in broad terms(e.g. black, white, asian, hispanic), before you’re picked to participate.
As to Neilsen, I always answer surveys with completely erroneous

I’d figure the people with the best handle on that answer would be the pollsters themselves. Surely they have to weigh the merry-prankster factor into their margin of error percentage.
Some felt that it was too easy for survey families to fudge the data and write down what they thought they ’should’ have been watching, not what they actually *did* watch.
as in, “Frontline” instead of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”

you’d think but then how can the success of the tv series Hazel be accounted for ?
As to Neilsen, I always answer surveys with completely erroneous

The one time I got one of those booklets, they probably rejected mine as some kind of prank. I realized I had an addiction to the Discovery Channel and History Channel when I looked at my booklet at the end of the week.
Ironically, growing up in a Christian fundamentalist household, we didn’t celebrate Christmas specifically because it is a Pagan holiday unrelated to Christianity, and now as an atheist adult I do celebrate Christmas with my family in a manner that is unrelated to Christianity and more in the historically correct Pagan tradition.
How people view Jesus is relevant for a number of reasons. Religious belief is cult indoctrination pure and simple and requires people to believe in falsehoods in the absence of evidence. This is harmful to society at large, particularly when the religious teachings are a very poor ethical model, as I believe Christianity, Islam, and Judaism to be. Belief in these myths hamper human progress in such essential fields as science and medicine and inject an irrational and destructive aspect to politics and government.
Again, not all believers are bad people, and most are likely good people at heart, but holding onto ancient myths and trying to live by an immoral code written by Bronze Age sheep herders is not conducive to human progress.
as in, “Frontline” instead of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”
How DID that get on TV anyway…………AND get picked up for a 2nd season?!?
You know my littles LOVE to watch the “Real Housewives” Franchise shows. I don’t get it — why would anyone want to watch a bunch of women get dressed up, go out to expensive restaurants, and start throwing stuff at each other?
It makes me sad to think that they, my littles, consider that as entertainment!

I grew up in a Christian home, however I am agnostic.
People regardless of their beliefs attempting to cram it down my throat bothers me. The belief in whichever “deity” they chose is not a concern of mine. I see those as two distinct things.
I personally have come across open minded people that are “believers” and “non-believers” as well as close minded people in both of those two categories.
“now as an atheist adult I do celebrate Christmas with my family in a manner that is unrelated to Christianity and more in the historically correct Pagan tradition”
but then you aren’t celebrating Christmas, because Pagans did not honor Jesus. You celebrate at the same time, but not the same thing.

The big puzzle for me is Seinfeld
……………………………………………..
A puzzler for me personally. Like Star Trek I did not watch the original
series except sporadically. I picked up on the syndication and began
to enjoy the inanity. I do not like the standup of any of the actors.
If any of the characters had been my neighbors I would probably
have killed them.
Debbie Do
Frog — How dare you give me a link with BAMA attached to it!!
…………………………………………………….
Just trying to make available the opportunity to support a really
good football team………..
indigo reminds me of a friend of mine. Brilliant woman, (not that i think indigo is female — just saying…); attractive, funny, LOVES football; claims that she’s lonely and is looking for the “right man”.
But when I say, “Oh I have this friend who is really nice……”
The first thing she asks is, “What color is he?”
Instead of asking the more pertinent question of, “Does he have a job…..”
I feel like maybe I ought to defend Seinfeld, even though I didn’t start watching until after the first season, and then only somewhat intermittently.
(But by my tv viewing standards, that makes me a huge fan, simply because I’ve found it very difficult to commit to any scripted shows for several decades now. Not sure why that is, probably because I’m so jaded with the commercial tv offerings that everything seems been there/done that to me.)
Seinfeld was funny because it pushed its meta to beyond meta. You couldn’t get more self referential than a comedy about a comedian than Seinfeld was, without having cast members directly addressing the audience–but they always kept the fourth wall up.
were the characters unlikeable? of course! that was the freaking point! that’s why in the series finale, they are all imprisoned (and threatened with death by fellow inmates) — it was the show’s way of saying “happy now? no? GFY.”
you take all that, add kind of a minstrel-show aspect to it (I’m talking about the stereotypical portrayal of self-absorbed NYC urbanites, which the rest of the nation probably enjoyed feeling morally superior to), and a supportive network and some very hard-driven creative types behind it, and it’s not real surprising it did so well.
The intro monologues were ALWAYS doubleplusunfunny. And the characters were so horrible, I would always root for something bad to happen to them. I decided this was not good for my psyche, so i quit watching.
ok you got me there on the phraseology–”first in line” at the trough didn’t seem right, and “front row” doesn’t work either. Maybe I should’ve gone with “feeding trough privileges.”
but seriously, I kinda assume that Seinfeld, David, Louis-Dryfuss and the others sharing in that fortune are rather liberal, politically. Don’t claim to know, though.
indigo – The first thing she will ask is “how tall is he”
With HER track record; she should ask about if he had a job first. If she was in a room, with 60K smart, straight, attractive, intelligent, employed men, and one scumbag looser, she’d pick the scumbag looser every time. AND pay for all his drinks.
If he’s not at least 5′9″ she will not be able to see more than the top of his head.
She’s short. Used to want to be a ballerina when she was younger BUT wasn’t dedicated to starving herself.
This goes for almost all women, black, white, asian, bi-racial, multi-racial, etc. etc. etc. — Now that REALLY DOES make me angry.
If the woman is tall and the man has height envy then it’ll be a problem, if not……..
The 2008 revival of the Gong Show (with Dave Attell as host) was deeply disturbing, yet a thing of beauty. Still, you should make sure the kids are in bed before watching it; no wonder it didn’t even last half a season.
Did everyone get their AR15 with the 100-round magazine for Christmas. The people all around us must have given all the shots fired. I wonder if those EBT cards work on the purchase of .223 rounds.

Customer Review
1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than I imagined….poor Dave Attell…an embarrassment to all concerned…, August 4, 2008
By
Grigory’s Girl “GR”
This review is from: The Gong Show With Dave Attell Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Out of morbid curiosity, I watched this, and it was as painful as I
thought it was going to be. I liked Dave Attell’s Insomniac Theater in
small doses, and I hoped this would be at least as good as that, but it
wasn’t.
It’s depressing, boring, tedious, and deeply embarrassing. Atell
himself seems deeply distressed and embarrassed (similar to Louie
Anderson and his horrible stint on Family Feud) to be hosting such a
mediocre show. The celebrity judges seem to feel the same way as well.
You actually feel sorry for them trying (in vain) to make this show
worth watching. While it has better production values than the original
Gong Show, it’s actually worse than the original, because the original
Gong Show had terrible production values and was cheesy as anything on
TV before or since, but Chuck Barris (the original host) kind of knew
that. That quality is what has endeared it to many (even though I was never a huge fan of the original).
You don’t know the half of it. Imagine a talent show where instead of catty Simon and wackadoodle Paula Abdul, you’ve got barely-there comic Andy Dick, renowned smack addict and guitarist Dave Navarro and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog judging the acts, and Dave Attell allegedly in control of it all.
Some of the acts look like the kind of things you could possibly hire people to do in Las Vegas — as long as the cops don’t find out about it. I recall one act (that I will not detail here for fear of being banned) where the young lady performer was IMMEDIATELY propositioned by Dave Navarro after she finished (e.g. “I’m serious. Call me. TONIGHT.”)
Mrs. JHM and I watched this show absolutely AGOG that Comedy Central was letting Attell get away with what was happening.
Gosh! I go away for a day or two and the blog goes to hell in a handbasket!
I want everyone here to know — and I mean this sincerely — that I quit eating frog legs when I saw them poor, pitiful things walking around on crutches. How inhumane!
D. DoRight — “How many days on a mind altering- drug induced- worms eating holes in your brain-bender do you have to be in to ENJOY something like that?”
Madam, I’ll have you know that the only drugs I do are prescriptions. And not *other people’s* prescriptions, either.
Most of our budgetary and moral problems in this nation are due to this.
“America is awash in poverty, crime, drugs and other problems, but more than perhaps anything else, it all comes down to this, said Vincent DiCaro, vice president of the National Fatherhood Initiative: Deal with absent fathers, and the rest follows.”
“The spiral continues each year. Married couples with children have an average income of $80,000, compared with $24,000 for single mothers.”
Most poverty is completely wiped out when people are married and stayed married when they have children.
This was my favorite show. I used to laugh like crazy everytime I saw it! They had a bunch of sh##t talking “Joes” on all the time who were whining about not getting their fair shot, or they could’ve done better if they were in, or blah, blah, blah,
So Spike TV gave them their chance. They’ were like “put up or shut up”. Lots of Joes got their butts whipped and their feelings hurt.
The greatest TV Show of all time – Pros vs. Joes. I don’t know why they ever took this off of t.v.
The US birth rate fell to a record low in 2011. The marriage rate is tumbling as well. And the number of single Americans is now at a record high.
[T]he US birth rate has fallen below the level needed to keep our population steady, much less growing. This pattern is likely to continue lower, especially as immigrants adopt US cultural norms of fewer children and smaller families. This will have growing implications for the economy[.]
What does this group look like? Geographically, they tend to live in cities. As urban density increases, marriage rates (and childbearing rates) fall in nearly a straight line. Politicos James Carville and Stanley Greenberg put together some very interesting data on singles. Of the 111 million single eligible voters, 53 million are women and 58 million are men. Only 5.7 million of these women are Hispanic and 9.7 million are African American. Nearly three-quarters of all single women are white.
This is a great article if you have a few minutes. (The article follows the introduction.)
Well there it seems the simple answer is to make sure that when someone marries, they can never get divorced. Problem solved.
Cause we all know that single women popping out babies is the problem (unless those babies have guns at the time of birth). But remember, we can’t give them birth control and we can’t have any morning after pills available OTC, and we have to force them to have babies to live in poverty. Which Republican is going to be teaching that abstinence class? Newt?
we can’t give them birth control? That sucks. I guess they’ll just have to ante up and pay for it themselves. that’s just turrible. turrible I tell ya.
If THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS had been armed with AR15’s with 100-round magazines, well, things mighta been different. They mighta won at Little Big Horn.
the inmates are indeed restless. I suggest we hold a 5 pm rally for free birth control and other assorted free shyte for the kooks. Throw in some raw red meat for em too since Jay isn’t here to feed em.
Thelma, I’d have guessed that you’d still be on the beach down there in Mazatlan or Cancun in yore speedos after sellin’ all them Bluehairs their Medicare supplement insurance. What gives?
Eleven years after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America; in an unusual spirit of cooperation between the two American nations, a joint task force comprised of elements of the 9th Confederate States Cavalry and the United States 7th Cavalry has invaded the northern plains, the home of the ferocious Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians; in a combined military campaign to end the western Indian Wars once and for all. The co-commanders of the united military effort are Major General Joseph Wheeler, C.S.A. and Colonel George Armstrong Custer, U.S.A.
Okay, then I’m not crazy. I went out for my walk earlier and came back in swearing I had seen some flakes. Unmentionable told me I was full of it…but, I did…
I want to reassure all those on this blog who are concerned with ol’ Sooth’s well-being that he does, in fact, have the (smokeless) woodstove stoked and burning to beat the band. In fact, ol’ Sooth’s sittin’ around in his skivvies. Deplorable!
The xmas package that was too big to wrap and costs 20 bucks to finally wrap it was never delivered. When I realized what I had bought my mom, 86, I returned it and got my eighty seven bucks back AND stood her up. Only a six hour drive, I coulda made it. I can’t even tell anyone what I bought her, the gift was so bad. I just couldn’t face the ridicule from my inlaws. Wow, that was a close one. Good thing my daughter is getting a divorce and I can hide behind that. Life is wonderful. ( Twenty bucks to wrap a pop corn machine. Do I hate xmas? It’s only a movie. It’s only a movie. )
I usually take off after the 15th but I was busy right up till Christmas. Still got a Lotta Bidness to keep me busy. Hows about you? Any new conspiracy theories we should be wary of?
The artillery fire coupled with the excellent repeating rifles of the Confederate cavalry troopers wreaked havoc on the advancing Indian horde and scattered the survivors up and down the narrow valley. The commands to cease fire, mount, and form your troop were given; and the 9th Confederate Cavalry began their mopping up operation.
“Married couples with children have an average income of $80,000, compared with $24,000 for single mothers.”
Perhaps rich people find it easier to marry than poorer people?
You may have a point. Maybe it does take the mentality to get alone, to know when and what to say, to know your role and know when to keep you mouth shut to be rich and married.
Doggone, that was sleet not snow (well according to the devices at the Brookstone there across from the Northpoint Starbucks ) …. but still cold. I was out walking a dog at the time.
Nope, what I saw was snow. Sleet doesn’t float around before it hits. And sleet makes a little “ticking” noise when it hits your windshield. This was snow. Silent when it hit. Snow, for sure.
Ah Mr Know-it-all one of my favorites. Back in the days of 23 channels that was my call sign…..the good old days when TV was not a contest to see who could be the most violent and/or depressing.
Dang I missed the discussion on TV programs.
My favorite new program? “New Girl”
how can you beat a program with Gays, Lesbians, super hot Jewish girls (not Zooey, Hannah Simone) and great punch lines!! Even the intro is great!
You deserve an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for your obvious projection with your 5:56 post. I don’t consider myself anywhere near knowing enough to think of myself like that, but it’s refreshing to know that you see me as much more knowledgeable than yourself. Here’s what “I” think of myself if you really have to know…..
I wonder when Issa will call for an investigation of Freedom Works, Inc. and the Freedom Works Foundation to be sure that tax deductible money was not used to “buy off” Armey or to cover up ethical violations.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Wednesday denied a request to block part of the federal health care law that requires employee health-care plans to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and similar emergency contraception pills.
Hobby Lobby Stores and a sister company, Mardel Inc., sued the government, claiming the mandate violates the religious beliefs of its owners.
I haven’t been on except sparsely so I don’t have time to go over everything, but I have to ask:
Has anyone yet said or considered the possibility that the solution to gun violence is not more guns BECAUSE we have many effective, efficient, and sometimes inexpensive NON-LETHAL means of defending ourselves? Is there something wrong with disabling a person coming after you or others with a gun WITHOUT killing them? Do we have that much bloodlust in this country that “bad guys with guns” must DIE in order for us to feel safe?
Liberal schadenfreude is about to reach overdose levels. Just when you thought the dead horse of Mitt Romney’s campaign had been beaten more than enough — and most savagely by members of his own party — Dave Wasserman at Cook Political Report projects that the final count of the popular vote, which is still ongoing, will show Romney winning 47 percent of the electorate. In addition to proving that Obama handily won the popular vote, the final tally makes Romney the official candidate of the 47 percent — a delicious irony, liberals say, given that Romney infamously claimed that Obama was the candidate of the 47 percent of Americans who “believe they are victims” and are “dependent on government.”
By all accounts, Romney’s “47 percent” remarks constituted one of the greatest self-inflicted wounds from a candidate who had no shortage of them.
Republicans, the party of responsibility, is NOT responsible for loosing 2x to a Socialist, Kenyan, Marxist:
nobody likes to be at fault. So after losing the White House to a supposedly socialist, secret Muslim for the second time in four years, the Grand Old Party started its latest finger-pointing campaign: assigning others the blame for losing the presidential election. Here are their top six culprits:
Chris Christie Did It
It’s Sandy’s Fault
Rove: Obama Suppressed Voters
O’Reilly: Loss of ‘Traditional America
The Lone Black Panther
Obama Mural
In reality, the Republican Party didn’t lose the election because of Sandy, or Christie, or a mural. It lost because 71 percent of Latinos, 93 percent of black people, 73 percent of Asian Americans, and 55 percent of women voted against it. The party did not embrace policies that appeal to these demographic groups—and lost. And that’s the GOP’s fault.
You know they’re STILL grooving and STILL together after all these years? The only band that I know that’s still together like that are those old boys from England — The Rolling Stones!
PPP’s first post election national poll finds that Republicans are taking the results pretty hard…and also declining in numbers.
49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore.
Some GOP voters are so unhappy with the outcome that they no longer care to be a part of the United States. 25% of Republicans say they would like their state to secede from the union compared to 56% who want to stay and 19% who aren’t sure.
One reason that such a high percentage of Republicans are holding what could be seen as extreme views is that their numbers are declining.
at this point, it never seemed possible that one day the capital of pagan Rome will become the head of the church.
During the next 3 centuries, Christians were martyred and persecuted in the Empire their blood a testimony to God. Hence the Catholic Church was founded also on the blood of martyrs.
Whoop de do. That’s no miracle; that’s just retail-level politics.
Romney winning 47% of the popular vote? Now THAT’s a sign, as the song goes, “there must be a God somewhere.”
—
Who are the Kinks?
I was ready to answer “a band that, unlike the Stones, have actually composed and performed new material worthy of the name in the last three decades.” but
1. I saw you googled ‘em, and
2. Nobody wants to hear from an ornery old Stones fan who thinks they jumped the shark with Goats Head Soup.
But Ms. O’Sullivan again took umbrage. As everyone went silent, she recalled a conference she attended in Australia in which a liberal nun (who “didn’t even have the decency to wear a habit”) criticized America for its “inner-city racism.” Offended, Ms. O’Sullivan recounted what she wished she’d said to this nun:
“Pardon me, madam, but I have been in your country of Australia for ten days and the only Aborigines I’ve seen have been drunk on the street, and at least if we were in my country they would be serving the drinks at this conference!”
Is Goats Head Soup anything like Brain Salad Surgery? (ELP)
While not all that familiar with the latter, I’m sure there’s nothing Greg Lake could’ve yelped that can match the horror of Mick singing “Angeeee, yer beautifulllll, they can’t say we never traaaaaahhhd…”
…really, once Mick Taylor left, even as a kid I figured they might have one really-good (not Beggars Banquet/Exile great, mind you, but really good) album left in them, and I think I was pretty much on the mark.
Top-Ten Republican punks?
.
It would take 500 examples to equal only one ULTIMATE punk.
What the Neo-Con progressives did to the democrat party.
(perpetual war, torture, drone murder, etc……………………………).
.
lol
.
For decent people……..Obama has done to the Democrat party what George W did to the Republican.
..
To understand Progressives, we have to understand that they are True Believers in the power of the State to make all of society whole simply by passing and administrating laws that are created “in the public interest.” This religious belief is non-negotiable. E.J. Dionne believes ultimately that the State is God. So does Jim Wallis, and both men believe that Barack Obama is the very epitome of the Holy State and that Obama “is going to save us.”
For all of the talk from the Progressive Left that their God is science and that religion is unscientific, in reality, their beliefs ultimately are religious. Like the former Soviets who had billboards exclaiming, “Lenin is more alive than the living!”, Progressive leftists truly believe that the State can reorder the entire world into a happy, productive, prosperous and peaceful condition, provided that government have enough coercive powers, including the power to kill dissenters. This is their religion and anyone who contradicts it is speaking damnable heresy.
.
Our heretic numbers are growing.

Forward Liberty!
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s over the cliff we go…..with a tax hike here and tax hike there, here a tax, there a tax, everywhere a tax tax, hi ho hi ho hi ho!!!
Obama never had any intention of avoiding the cliff. The next day he’ll propose all these wonderful tax cuts and fly back to Hawaii looking like a hero to his minions who aren’t paying attention to the man behind the curtain.
That “dissapointing” Christmas season is gonna leave a few people out of work in the next few weeks. Anybody want to guess why it was “dissapointing”?

Interesting take on gun issue. I agree, no knee jerk reaction or any other by DC will eliminate the miniscule risk of re-occurrences of Newtown travesty. Unfortunately, I feel that the variables and infintesimal odds are too vague or not avoidable that even putting armed guards in all schools will not prevent such…see Columbine..
Dang it, don’t those Aussies realize that when youse give the Aborigines the drink, they should be in the gambling casinos or on the reservation. And the link between “inner city racism” and aborigines is? Wonder how long before we have a comment from josef.
but you left out the best part: Ms. O’Sullivan then warned against watering down the purity of the conservative agenda to placate minorities or, as she put it, rather succinctly, “the [bah]-astardization of the product.” [Tweaked to get it by the bluenose--unless mentioning josef puts you automatically in moderation]

I can always count on you for flawed logic..even insulting your core beliefs and offending all the other blind red sheep.
So instead of reading the article, you pull the Bush card and suggest that since deficits were ok for Bush, it’s ok for your guy…comparing your guy to Bush in the positive…
Check out the full article..seems the CBO has much more to say about the levels of pure BS he spews relative to how taxing the rich is a cure all…he is intentionally missing the boat.
Kudos though for him returning to DC..hopefully, he will actually follow a proven successful strategy, take some time out of his busy schedule to hang out on the hill and make a difference..
Birthers Get Punked — Again and again and again and…….
First it was the various states, Georgia included, who were toying with the fact of eliminating Obama’s name off the ballot until he could “prove to their satisfaction” that he was a US citizen. Small Punk…
THEN it was the Donald Trump’s, “Men on the ground in Hawaii vigilantly searching for Obama’s birth certificate. Medium Size Punk
AFTERWARDS it was the Arizona Sheriff who said he was going to do an independent investigation on Obama’s eligibility to become President vis a vis his citizenship status. Pretty Big Punk.
LASTLY we have “Birtherism On STEROIDS” Hugely GIGANTIC Punk!
There are the birthers who don’t believe the president was born in the United States. And then there are birthers who think that maybe the president’s father was actually Frank Marshall Davis, the labor activist.
The theory, which departs from that of the more traditional “Obama-is-a-Kenyan” birthers, goes something like this: Obama’s grandfather was an undercover CIA agent who convinced Barack Obama Sr. to marry Obama’s mother to cover up the fact that she was pregnant with then-55-year-old Davis’ baby.
Yesterday, the chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, Bill Armistead, reportedly dipped his toe into the latter category, telling a Republican women’s group that a film that purveys that theory is “absolutely terrifying.” The report came from Mobile Press-Register political editor George Talbot, who attended the event.
Joel Gilbert, the director of the film, called “Dreams From My Real Father,” describes it thusly:
“Admittedly, at age 18, Obama arrived at Occidental College a committed revolutionary Marxist. ‘Dreams from My Real Father’ presents the case that Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA organizer and propagandist, was Obama’s real father, both biological and ideological, and indoctrinated Obama with a political foundation in Marxism and an anti-White world view.”
Armistead and the Alabama GOP didn’t immediately return our request for comment, but we’ll update if they do.
=======================================
However, if Frank WAS Obama’s father then the “Obama Not A Real Citizen Birther Theory” is shot out of the water; BUT since republicans minds are so feeble and can’t think that far in advance; I’ll just call this one ….
Joe Hussein Mama : We’re simply waiting at the departure gates for the A/C’ s to return to the states after they left loaded in 2000 and 2004…’course the Hollywooders had private jets, but I digress. The Truce continues. Salvos return 02JAN. Happy New Year…
I actually saw them in a fairly small club back in the 70s. I thought they sucked then; they opened (how do I still remember this?) with some stupid metal ditty about “death to disco”.
Ooh, real brave, that.
I guess I have a higher tolerance for long-running cartoons now. And, they’re in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, so I guess that makes them immortal.
Kudos though for him returning to DC..hopefully, he will actually follow a proven successful strategy, take some time out of his busy schedule to hang out on the hill and make a difference
Yes, I see our fake “independent without a party agenda” fails to note the absence of the Republican controlled house or that as Boehner pointed out “Ohio has phones” [as does Hawaii...and there is entire array of communication devices in AF1]
Americans get punked————(in the long run)
Merry Christmas……..From Obama———–

History will surely record that one of the most moronic collective questions ever posed is “Why do they hate us?” – where the “they” are: “those we continuously bomb and kill and whose dictators we prop up.” Noting the two US drone attacks on December 24 in his country, the 23-year-old Yemeni writer Ibrahim Mothana asked: “Two US drone strikes in Yemen today. Should we consider them a Christmas gift?!” That’s exactly what al-Qaida undoubtedly considers them to be.

No need to hide behind what others say or said. If your ideological compatriots hate it here so much and want to leave, then let’s see them have the courage of their convictions and act on their words.
I guess its all part of the new stiff employment practice. You know its because them men just can’t control those impulses. Does this apply to attractive sheep too?
“two US drone attacks on December 24 in his country”
Apparently, that’s Obama’s idea of that “new tone” in our dealings with the muslim haters. Would someone on the left please tell us how that “new tone” has changed anything? Do they hate us less? Want us any less dead?
Sure would help if you liberals would figure out the difference between a real campaign promise and a bunch of noise generated to appease the low information voter.
No need to hide behind what others say or said. If your ideological compatriots hate it here so much and want to leave, then let’s see them have the courage of their convictions and act on their words.
I am so thankful that my accountant has found multiple ways to save me from paying more $ than I should when fiscal cliff happens. The beauty of running your own business brings many accounting benefits that “employees” can’t get! If more employees had a capitalistic brain, they may be further ahead. Capitalistic individuals want come from this blog site, too many social derilects.

“On the surface it sounds like quite a whipping for HSBC – but it was not even close to one. For one thing, the settlement amounts to about six weeks of earnings, according to estimates. That is a mere slap on the wrist for such a huge institution. For another thing, no criminal charges were brought against the bank or any of the individuals involved. The official reason, as a column in The New York Times translated it: “Criminal charges could jeopardize one of the world’s largest banks and ultimately destabilize the global financial system.””

RB — “Sure would help if you liberals would figure out the difference between a real campaign promise and a bunch of noise generated to appease the low information voter.”
Why, we already have. The Romney campaign was the “noise” you speak of. After all, he didn’t REALLY want to be President.
td — “Sure you do. It is called Secular Humanism and no matter how much you want to deny it you can not deny it is a religion.”
I deny that *I* am an adherent of Secular Humanism.
Now what, chump?
Deny all you want but your words each and everyday give you away. Now go and kiss the garments of your messiah (Obama) some more so that he feels he is worshiped.
Thomas — Do you know the two most sought for words that AlQueada was looking forward to hearing in 2012? It was:

Secular Humanism, “that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion.” is not “religion”, but a philosophy…big difference. A philosophy I adhere to. I don’t need the “fear of damnation” to make myself want to do what’s right and good. Those that do? Well…bless their hearts.
Your ignorance gives *you* away. You don’t know the first thing about what I think or believe, but for some reason, you apparently believe you have T3H M@JIK J33BUZ-P0W3RZ that enable you to see into the heads of others and divine what they think.
Well guess what? You don’t. That’s called delusion, and you’re soaking in it, son. Try therapy and medication, quick.
“Now go and kiss the garments of your messiah (Obama) some more”
Atheists don’t *have* a messiah, you towering ignoramus.
“so that he feels he is worshiped.”
I have a better idea. Why don’t you go to church today so you don’t hurt baby jebus’ precious feefees? After all, if you make him mad, he’ll get petulant and send you to heck or someplace.

Postcards from the Cliff: Rick Santelli (cnbc bond trader pit) interviewed a bond vigilante and asked him why he wasn’t selling any bonds. (Cause nobody will buy them).
What happens if Obama and Boehner decide to kick the can down the road…..and then Nancy Pelosi pulls the can away at the last second and they both flip and summersault over the cliff? That would mean the Mayans were only off by ten days, man. Pretty, pretty good predictioning.

Yeah – I read the verdict yesterday in the news — they (claimed) that they didn’t fire her because she’s “too sexy for her shirt”; their claims, (the dentist and his wife), is that they fired her for her repeated disregarding their dress policy and wearing inappropriate clothing at work.
She countered with the “not fired for just cause”claim — IMO because she had a sucky litigator/employment lawyer. What she SHOULD’VE countered with was, “Sexual Harrassment” because of the repeated and highly personal texting from her boss.

Secular Humanist just do not understand the definition of Religion. Let us for a minute take out the 1 st definition of the belief in a super natural being and study the other meanings of Religion:
2: a personal set or institutionalized system of attitudes, beliefs, and practices
td — “Yes, you are such a bad man sitting behind that computer screen and I am so scared.”
I don’t care if you’re scared or not. All I care about is the ignorant and dishonest bullspit you’re spreading about me and other atheists.
“LMFAO. Remember I am one of those “right wing gun nuts”.
You really *are* clueless and don’t know the first thing about me. (laughing, pointing)
I spent over 20 years of my adult life supporting the GOP, and a dozen years volunteering for them. I’m a disabled Army veteran AND a gun owner. Whereas YOU are an ignorant and uninformed nitwit making random guesses about me, what I think and what I believe.
Well, here’s a clue for you, td. It’s people like you that made me realize that the GOP wasn’t where I needed to be. It’s close-minded, ignorant and presumptuous boneheads like you — who think they know everything about everybody — that made me come to the realization that i could do better.
“The tenants and beliefs of your religion are giving you away with every sentence.”
I don’t have a religion, and you’re too full of yourself to realize that you’re ignorant about me and that you should ask questions, not make statements.
“You are just in denial.”
I know who and what I am. You do *not* know who and what I am.
I do like how I’m driving you to sin, though. Surely a nice, prewarmed seat awaits your clueless behind in your religion’s hell.

The first definition in any dictionary is the most commonly used one and the most accurate in terms of common usage. So td wants us to ignore the first definition in describing religion. In other words, he wants us to ignore the real definition of religion while defining religion. He apparently doesn’t understand how to use a dictionary either. Brilliant!
JamVet reminds us that Scout recently professed to us all that Christianity is not a religion while td insists that philosophy is religion. Bizarro man not love Lois Lane.

Wow, so much anger and disdain. I have seen this reaction many times in the past and it is usually because the one true God is convicting the soul of the person and they are fighting the calling with all their heart and soul. Give in my friend and come to the Lord and he will take all that hate out of your heart and give you the greatest peace in your soul that you have ever had. God does love you.

Faulkner?! Well that certainly explains my drinking reference.
You do know don’t you that Faulkner had a “drinking problem” right?
Or did you just pull up a quote that you found from “Guns R Us” to try to impress everyone with your literary knowledge?
PS: Although I am a fan of Faulkner’s work, I will NEVER understand “As Iay dying”. I mean, they pulled a dead body through the southern heat in the summer? Can you even imagine how badly that body smelled?
Here is some help for both td and Thomas, who seem to have a misunderstanding of a very common term in the English language- religion. Religion involves the belief in a supernatural or mystical being (i.e. god) sans empirical evidence. That supernatural being (or beings) is most commonly invisible to us, yet omnipotent and omniscient. He/she/it has had a personal hand in creating the universe, and by extension the earth and all living creatures, by some unexplained mechanism and unexplained power, most accurately described as powers of mental telepathy. The supernatural being has a hand in the outcome of human life and controls natural occurrences. Almost universally, this supernatural being is related to a life-after-death scenario for humans via some means such as a spirit, soul, or faith (more constructs that lack any evidence).
Atheists and secular humanists do not believe any of these things. Science by definition is not supernatural and atheists by definition are not religious.

Oh goody, another George Zimmerman eagerly looking for a hoodie wearing kid to kill.
When young men do not act right and want to let their testosterone get the best of them and bully a smaller person then they just may have to pay the ultimate consequence for their actions. Do not blame Zimmerman for defending himself blame the parents for not teaching their kids correctly.
Alright Debbie, we are waiting for number one lol. I thought nuumber 10 could have been number one lol as to me it was the biggest “punk” of all. Beat by his own disdain and contempt of the American people, thinking we were ALL as stupid as his talk radio/FOXBOT party base………
No anger here. Just frustration at your monumental dishonesty.
“and disdain.”
I am disdainful of you, yes. That’s my normal reaction to dishonest people such as yourself.
“I have seen this reaction many times in the past and it is usually because the one true God is convicting the soul of the person and they are fighting the calling with all their heart and soul.”
That’s nice. In this case, however, it’s because you’re lying about me as well as other atheists.
“Give in my friend and come to the Lord”
Can’t give in to what doesn’t exist. However, I think you should give in to education. Only through education can we fill up that giant empty space in your head.
“and he will take all that hate out of your heart and give you the greatest peace in your soul that you have ever had.”
Nice story. Shame there’s not a shred of truth to it.
“God does love you.”
So do Captain Kirk, Spider-Man and the Tooth Fairy.
When young men do not act right and want to let their testosterone get the best of them and bully a smaller person then they just may have to pay the ultimate consequence for their actions. Do not blame Zimmerman for defending himself blame the parents for not teaching their kids correctly.
Wow, you tripled down on the stupid. A person afraid of the world, much like yourself, carrying a gun stalks a young man and then murders him and it’s the KIDS fault?
You are one sick, deluded individual. I mean that most sincerely. how ANYONE can type the BS you just typed about that situation is beyond belief.
Yea, Debbie, cause Veterans need their own special jobs bill in addition to all the jobs bills sitting on Harry Reid’s desk, right? It’s not like they sold these veterans a bill of goods telling them they would give them job skills in the military, now we need an additional bill to make them employable. And DDR is at the front of the line making donations to pay for this bill too, right Debbie?!!!
Everything sounds like a great idea when YOU don’t have to pay for it Debbie. Short arms and somebody else’s deep pockets…the liberal way!!
“There is nothing more dangerous than a man frightened by the world walking down the street carrying a gun…period.”
Sounds like you are the one who is frightened! Well, you get to keep your abortions that kill millions of babies yearly and then a couple of mentally ill people uses a gun and you get really scared. I guess when you believe in nothing when life ends it truly ends for you.
oh lordy. Now they’re on the Zimmerman is a murderer kick as if they were there. Perhaps they saw trayvon mounted on top of zimm beating the hell out of him. Or perhaps they just ignored that part of the story.

So, you’re a Faulkner fan, eh? What you wanna know about who in his work? My first view of this big old wonderful world was from Frenchman’s Bend in Yoknapatawpha and I sat at his knee in the ginyard. Granny hated him with a morbid passion. Told Granddaddy to keep me away from “that lying old drunk.” Her father had served under his grandfather in the Wah-uh, “and they were nothin’ at all like that!”
“As I Lay Dying?” Mama, who could recite long passages of the master and who considered “The Reivers” the finest work of modern English literature, despised that book with a passion equaling Granny’s. There’s a good reason for that, too.
Me? If you understand Gavin Stevens’ comments to The Boy on the way to dig up the grave in Chapter 7 of “Intruder in the Dust,” you’ll understand my brand of Southernism.
Anyway, good morning to you, and here’s one I found last night on the site that Scout introduced me to, and I thought of you
FYI — “January 2007, “Slate” contributor, Timothy Noah rolled out the messiah complex. Noah describes himself as an atheist.”
So what you’re saying is that conservatives can’t recognize tongue-in-cheek satire when they see it and they take everything absolutely, totally at face value?
Where’s that number one punk?
.
Anyhoo-
How can you vilify republicans as heartless plutocrats unfit for ruling , and then enthusiastically recommend OBAMA……who holds Bradley Manning in solitary and killed a 16-year-old American kid? If you’re a wayward human being who voted for Obama, better to mournfully acknowledge that you regard him as the lesser of two evils, with all that phrase denotes.

Cog Dis is a biatch……and,

Its never too late for………..anyone………..to take the side of decency.
T. Heyward — “enthusiastically recommend OBAMA……who holds Bradley Manning in solitary”
I’m pretty sure that Manning was held in Marine Corps custody at Quantico, in accordance with their standard procedures. If there’s something about those procedures that you find unreasonable or troubling, we can certainly talk about it, but I doubt President Obama had much to do with promulgating them.
Given the con discourse, there musta been a lot of cons that did not get the 100-round magazine and associated hardware that they asked Santa for this year.

HA! Too funny! Sometimes, TP, you are just too cool for school!
==========
Td: Do not blame Zimmerman for defending himself blame the parents for not teaching their kids correctly.
Well, I hope the “bros” in jail don’t blame Zimmerman while he’s on his knees becoming Big Tony’s B##tch. It’s really easy to “defend” yourself with a gun against an unarmed child; but I wonder if he’ll be able to “defend” himself while tossing some salads in prison.

Fred: Alright Debbie, we are waiting for number one lol. I thought nuumber 10 could have been number one lol as to me it was the biggest “punk” of all. Beat by his own disdain and contempt of the American people, thinking we were ALL as stupid as his talk radio/FOXBOT party base………
That one WAS good wasn’t it? But my #1 is the BESTEST evah!! However, I wanted to try and drag it out a bit…..at least save off on doing the last few until tomorrow…
Fred: You are one sick, deluded individual. I mean that most sincerely. how ANYONE can type the BS you just typed about that situation is beyond belief.
Oh just wait, the only thing td did was open up the door to even MORE stoooopidity — like they say on TV, watch what happens now……………..

RB from Pluto: Yea, Debbie, cause Veterans need their own special jobs bill in addition to all the jobs bills sitting on Harry Reid’s desk, right? It’s not like they sold these veterans a bill of goods telling them they would give them job skills in the military, now we need an additional bill to make them employable. And DDR is at the front of the line making donations to pay for this bill too, right Debbie?!!!
RB, just asking mind you, but what type of job do you think a Vet can get if he was in the military as a nuclear submarine munitions clerk?
RB: Everything sounds like a great idea when YOU don’t have to pay for it Debbie. Short arms and somebody else’s deep pockets…the liberal way!!

Joe: Dude, nobody cares what kind of porn you like.
You could say that, but the except from Noah in the link you posted makes it *quite* clear that he’s being satirical. And clearly *you* didn’t get *that.*
“Like Noah, conservatives quickly picked up on the media’s adoration of Obama, in turn, making fun of the media’s “headiness.”
And here’s the evidence that you didn’t actually get it. (laughing)
Despite Noah’s *clear* representation of it as satirical, you’re lumping him in with conservatives as if he was being serious.
“The media’s power is in suggestive thinking and subliminal messaging. They succeed where liberals fail.”
Yes, yes. Fear the meedja. Hate it. Run from it. Nassssssty little medias. They stole the Precious! (giggling)
” Farrakhan (sp?) and Oprah Winfrey, who declared him “The Messiah” and “The One.”
If this is true (gotta link?), those two certainly deserve to be derided for such.
Now, gotta link to where you posit that this is the opinion of “liberals,” of “democrats,” or possibly even “progressives” in general, of that any of the aforementioned consider either of those two as a good source of political guidance? Because, otherwise, you’re just a silly person.
The majority of the American people do not want to do away with government as we know it.
Majority in the red states, the south and west seem to want to.
what type of job do you think a Vet can get if he was in the military as a nuclear submarine munitions clerk?
If RB had his way civilians would have full 2nd Amendment rights to carry nukes, and those Vets would have plenty of jobs in the private nuke industry. So it’s your own lib’rul fault that Vet now works at Burger King.
Libs do love they cult of personality they do. Bunch a dang sheep.
Jamie must have one a them silhouetted red, green and gold t-shirts of Obama looking like a God. Then again I’m sure a lot of the kooks on here probably have that t-shirt.

AND, while I’m often not around for the juiciest part of those threads, actually, when I am, I try to go with the thematic flow.

Told Granddaddy to keep me away from “that lying old drunk.” Her father had served under his grandfather in the Wah-uh, “and they were nothin’ at all like that!”
Ha! Funny! From what I’ve read from history, his grandfather was almost a SAINT in his family! From his writings though, it seems that Falkner wasn’t that much impressed with him.
“As I Lay Dying?” Mama, who could recite long passages of the master and who considered “The Reivers” the finest work of modern English literature, despised that book with a passion equaling Granny’s. There’s a good reason for that, too.
Which is? It’s one of his greatest works!!! I mean the dragging the body around the south in the abysmal summer heat, is kinda out there; but why did they hate it? What’s the reason? (enquiring minds and all!)
Me? If you understand Gavin Stevens’ comments to The Boy on the way to dig up the grave in Chapter 7 of “Intruder in the Dust,” you’ll understand my brand of Southernism.
You’ve got me there! NEVAH read that one – (Although I have read “Go Down Moses”), it’s on my list though for when I take a vacation, IF I even get a chance to take one in 2013! All these tax cheats out there who need bailing out has been keeping me pretty busy.
“For all his concern with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man. Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for greatness of our classics.” —Ralph Ellison
Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God.”
Someone say messiah? Obama is after all sort of God to the kook left.
Doom — “Joe Mama, Judging from your 11:22 its obvious that tap dancing is your favorite sport.”
Sorry you’re not able to pay attention to detail, Doom. I said what I said, and you quite simply misunderstood. No problem bringing you up to speed, though, son. I’m always here to keep you honest.
Mr. Doom, I don’t think anyone will deny that a few silly people (or people using an unusual context), have said that. I wonder why conservatives attempt to attribute this as a “liberal” position.
It was mighty nice of God- um, I mean Obama, to “step down” and lower himself into the office of the presidency. For he’s a jolly good fellow for doing so.
Host of ABC’s “Nightline” Terry Moran says Obama, like George Washington, took a “step down” when he became President:
MORAN: In some ways Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office. From visionary leader of a giant movement, now he’s got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.
A few??? I’ve given 3 examples right off the top. And that doesn’t even include the multitudes of morons who thought Obama was going to fill up their gas tanks, pay their mortgages, etc. Or the ones that walk around with pics of the man on a T-shirt as if he’s some kind of deity. Its creepy the number of sheep that are into this cult of personality thing. Creepy.
Aw hell. I was just googling obama video and saw a video of the messiah speaking and this tingle ran up my leg. Just like Chris Matthews. Now I’m going to have to find a website and order one of those silhouetted t-shirts of Obama in gold, green, and red. You know. The one where he looks sorta like God. kd.
Mr. Doom – I’m sure you’re right about the “cult of personality” aspect.
But it seems to me, if I see “the messiah” or “the one” on this blog, it’s a guanrantee that that the poster is a conservative using it in an ironic manner?
I’d actually never seen the quotes you cite before, but perhaps that’s because I don’t get my information from such well-known liberal pundits as Rarakhan, Foxx, and Winfrey.
FYI — “Noah got the ball rolling with his piece at Slate. Noah is an atheist. Conservatives agreed with his take on the lamestream media.”
In other words, what you’re saying is that conservatives can’t recognize tongue-in-cheek satire when they see it and they take everything absolutely, totally at face value,
Those Obama adulation quotes are from an editor at Newsweek and Terry Moran an anchor at ABC news. So much for the lamestream media not getting caught up in the hype.
How long should I let my hawg jowls boil. I like them well done.
Man you are out of step! No one eats hog jowls by themselves anymore — haven’t done so since the 30s – they normally mix the hog jowls up in a batch of souse. Here’s the recipe (cold — instead of the whole pig’s head, use the hog jowls):
I see our cons are still sore over losing the election. Either that or they want to break the Confederate flaggers’ record for world’s longest Bitterball.
As for his grandfather, quite the fellow, he, if you could take Granny’s word for it. And she would be proud to see you “spelled the name right (Falkner!) I’m not particularly a student or devotee to Civil War military history, but the 2nd Mississippi Infantry to which Faulkner’s grandpa, later Governor Stone (whoo, whee the stories I have from him and his dealings with Great Granny!) and my own great grandfather were attached was known for its ferocity on the field of battle and its loyalty to the Lost Cause post War…
“As I Lay Dying…”
Faulkner wove various tales from local lore into his novels. The story as it opens has the woman looking from her death bed as her husband built her coffin. Faulkner uses this as his introduction to the bizarre tale of carting the body about the countryside. My mother’s animosity was that the story of the coffin and the story of the shlepping of the corpse were from two different sources. The opening was that of Miss Vinnie Stroup, a neighbor and friend of my mother’s whose desire was that she be buried in the coffin built by her husband. When she died, my mother was the one who in the “laying out” combed out Miss Vinnie’s hair, her pride. Mama, and the others in the area, had seen the building of the coffin and the placing of Miss Vinnie’s bed so that she could watch as something “sacred and holy.” Now, that lot that went carting the body around? They were not so highly respected and their actions not considered quite so “holy and sacred.” That Faulkner would weave the two together was, to Mama and Granny, an act of socio-cultural heresy!
As for “Intruder in the Dust,” that quote that sparked this is from it and taken, as is often the case, completely out of context. Personally, I think you will find it most intriguing from the race-relations aspect in time and place. And, yes, it is pretty much a true story and one of those that Faulkner stuck to the real story on.
Ralph Ellison…
He is one of the few of Faulkner’s contemporaries who actually understood what it was that Faulkner was doing. Faulkner was not so much concerned with “the South” per se as he was with the human condition. As he said, his own “little postage stamp of earth” was only the backdrop against which it played out, the place he “knew first hand.”
And “The Reivers?”
Faulkner said of it that he had spent his entire career to be able to tell that story! Even Granny had to admit that Grandpa Faulkner came across there with the proper respect…
And for my money, about one of the best film adaptations ever done! Steve McQueen at his finest…amazing his understanding of that role…
“…ain’t even 11 years old yet, and already been cut up in a wh*rehouse brawl…”
Nope. That’s a little too simplistic. We’re not sore at all. We’re just getting our popcorn ready to watch the coming implosion. I think the people who are really going to be sore are all those gubment dependents when the shyte hits the fan. I just have one thing that I would like for you guys to remember. YOU VOTED FOR IT!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Falkners uncle of cousin had his grandfathers diary. Falkner would come to his house drunk and read the diary. Used as a source for Go Down, Moses and other tales. Uncle’s wife had no use for him.
Aquagirl, there is no misunderstanding, its intentional stupidity to provide pure nonsense in a bid for blog attention trolling. But perhaps I am giving too much credit to the intelligence to actually comprehend by using the word “intentional”.
Aquagirl must be wearing her silhouetted Obama tshirt today and waiting for Obama to put gas in her tank. just click your heels honey and maybe your gas tank will be magically filled and your mortgage magically paid.
Thulsa-you are indeed still whining over losing the election. And you will continue to whine during the next 8 years beginning in 2016 as we hold control once again.
REginald: But it seems to me, if I see “the messiah” or “the one” on this blog, it’s a guanrantee that that the poster is a conservative using it in an ironic manner?
Ha! Its a guarantee that they’re using it to back up a ridiculous point that not ONE DEM in office has ever said – - and as far as I can tell, not one dem has ever said period.
I’d actually never seen the quotes you cite before, but perhaps that’s because I don’t get my information from such well-known liberal pundits as Rarakhan, Foxx, and Winfrey
They’ll pull up a doctored youtube video, (like the one where Obama’s grandmother “said” Obama was born in Kenya); and use that as “proof”. Whereas if I pull up the actual report from the reporters that were actually THERE that day and HEARD what was said, you’ll see that “messiah” was never mentioned by Oprah OR Farrakahn.
In essence, it’s kinda stooopid for them to even ADD Farrakahn in the midst. Farrakahn doesn’t even BELIEVE in a messiah, so why would he liken Obama as one?
Called it! See those 12:01 posts to links on youtube!
DANG! I wonder if they ever get tired of being sooooo…………..ummmm……..sheepish, easily fooled by any kid with video equipment and a computer, predictable.
I’m cool with it. Whoever is president doesn’t control my destiny. Perhaps you and the other kooks let other people determine your fates in life but I chose not to live that way. Doomy is gonna be set no matter who is potus. You? Not so much.
Everybody loses eventually. No shame in losing one game to Johnny Heisman- a fantastic football player. All I know is that we are playing for a bcs title for the 3rd time in 4 years. Enjoy your visit to Shreveport or whatever minor shyte bowl you guys are playing in. You can watch us play in the big boy game later on.
doomy, really you are set? Glad to hear it so why are you still preying on the elderly selling them junk insurance? Isn’t that what you do for a living?
I think you do protest too much. YOu just wish you hadn’t admitted you voted for-what was his name again, the one that disappeared off the face of the earth-oh yeah Mittens!!!
Same as usual- coffee with stevia in the morning. Green tea with lemon juice the rest of the day and just plain water when I hit the gym. Its much healthier and better tasting than that kook koolaid you drink.
Thanks for the eplanation DDR – I’m sure you’re correct.
I get my news from reputable sources – I don’t listen to gossip or “features.” It’s funny how I’d never heard of “free gas” or “obamaphones” until conservative on this this blog tried to use them to deride the president and his supporters.
I also agree that most of the conservative inability to understand context and nuance is willful. They got nothin’, so they gotta troll.
“preying on the elderly selling them junk insurance?”
Spoken like a true ignoramus. If any of my blue haired little ole ladies heard you say that they would beat you to death with their canes and walkers. The ones in wheelchairs would then run your dumbazz over. My clients all the loves the Doom and they damn sure love their Medicare supplements that pay every penny that Medicare doesn’t pay. If you’ve no clue as to what you’re talking about you really should just shut up.
No! I’m trimming Brosephus’ broad brush. He claimed it was Christian’s who call Obama “The Messiah.”
FYI
The “Liberals” here are not the ones on this blog referring to Obama as “messiah”. The only time the Liberals here even use that term in the same sentence as Obama’s name is to question why the Conservatives, most often the self-professed Christians here, refer to him in that manner. Why not post under your regular name and challenge me that way as opposed to creating sock puppets to do your work for you? That’s what a real man/woman would do.
josef – i LOVE talking books with you!! We should start a book club that only read the great works!! (I’m in one now and guess what we read for October? SHADES OF GRAY — how anyone could call that tripe something LITERARY is beyond me….)
Oscar: Falkners uncle of cousin had his grandfathers diary. Falkner would come to his house drunk and read the diary. Used as a source for Go Down, Moses and other tales. Uncle’s wife had no use for him.
No one recognized him for his genius! What’s that verse in the bible? “And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.”
Folks, if you find yourself screaming joyfully about impending economic collapses and old ladies assaulting people—get help. You either need an intervention or the appropriate dosage of lithium.
His books were all out of print, until he made his acceptance speech when awarded the Nobel Prize in 1948. After hearing his speech, people took another look at his books. He was recognized then and his books starting being taught as literature.
“if you find yourself screaming joyfully about impending economic collapses”
Aquagirl,
Your mind reading is failing you yet again. I take no pleasure in the demise of this great nation. I’m simply stating that I’m in a position that whatever happens I’m going to be ok through my own efforts.
And if you don’t understand what’s coming down in the future than I can’t cure you of typical liberal ignorance. Or can I? For a discounted fee of $100 an hour I’ll be happy to sit down with you for 4-8 hours and teach you some basic economics. It’ll be good for you because it will reduce your level of abject ignorance and it’ll be good for me because I will have done my good deed for the day.
Oprah repeatedly asking “Is he the one” is just plain creepy.
What I said about Seinfeld, yesterday? Well, Thulsa, Oprah could afford to have you droned, make it look like an accident, AND replace all your neighbors’ houses with much nicer ones.
Puh-leeze. The vast majority of folks on this blog both on the left and on the right consider you an abject fool. I rarely agree with any of the leftists on here but if there is one thing many of us probably agree on it would be on the utter foolishness of your posts.
Debbie, “RB, just asking mind you, but what type of job do you think a Vet can get if he was in the military as a nuclear submarine munitions clerk? ”
I’d say anything in distribution or logistics would be good. It’s doubtful a “clerk” would ever be involved in the actual handling of nuclear materials and is more likely involved in the storage, security, and maintenance of the weapons. You obviously don’t know the difference in matching someone’s experience to the job and matching someone’s skill set. As an example, putting a person who lacks detail orientation in a detail oriented job is sure to fail regardless of how many years they’ve tried to do the job. But don’t fret, Debbie, most people who’ve never hired a person understand the difference, so you go back to your liberal fantasy land and keep demanding other people pay for all the crap you think is worthy.
The vast majority of folks on this blog both on the left and on the right consider you an abject fool. I rarely agree with any of the leftists on here but if there is one thing many of us probably agree on it would be on the utter foolishness of your posts.
Major IRONY…. must stop laughing. And then I read the post about teaching economics for $100/hr…… now my stomach hurt from all the laughing. I better call 911 of the impending doom of our country.
I almost had milk come out my nose but that is about to become very expensive thanks to GOP insanity.
“cons can’t get over getting crushed twice so they blame corporate media”
No I can handle losing an election because I know there will be another one soon. I not only blame the lame stream media but the morons who live on the east coast, west coast, and up north.
America has been surviving on “borrowed” time and money. All that has happened is the pols have turned back the clock. Only a handful are willing to make the tough decisions.
Ok, Mystery Meat, do tell us who some of the “handful” are who are “tough” Deciderer types. You can just start with the guys on the posters in your room, if you like.
Your mind reading is failing you yet again.I take no pleasure in the demise of this great nation
Mind reading? You didn’t type….
“YOU VOTED FOR IT!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Well you better e-mail Jay, someone is posting in your Doomypants.
Also, if you lapse into hysterical laughter when imagining terrible future events, you’re an even better candidate for an intervention or lithium. Or both.
Or you could stop lying that you’re not gleeful when you say things like HAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! That’s how psychologically normal people employ laughter.
Isn’t there some football on TV? You really need to go before you embarrass yourself further. You can be a semi-coherent reasonable guy but today you’re reeling around like Lindsey Lohan.
I will decline your $100 per hour lessons—and if you’re in the tutoring business, forgetting what you typed 10 minutes ago doesn’t exactly draw customers of any political or economic viewpoint.
fixed securities (treasury bills) a few months ago.
Reminds me. I really wish Team Obama would simply mint a few platinum trillion dollar coins and tell the Speaker to eff off.
the Treasury is allowed to unilaterally mint platinum coins. It could create a $1 trillion coin, and deposit it at its account at The Federal Reserve.
It sounds completely crazy, but … it’s even crazier to think that the U.S. would default arbitrarily just because of a dumb law.
So if the choice is between default and a trillion dollar platinum coin, we endorse the coin all the way.
So yeah, I realize it’d be crossing the Rubicon, but sheesh, didn’t the Speaker and his crew already go wading there by upping the stakes on the debt ceiling last year, anyway?
Oscar — RE: Your quotes — were they from “As I lay dying?” Had to google them, but you are truly a fan if you knew some of the more obscure quotes from the book!
I only remember the more “famous ones” (like GWTW’s “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”); and not all of them.
You sir, can talk Book with me anytime!!
“I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth.”
Seriously, it’s just sad the the GOP has abdicated all responsiblity here. They’ve put themselves in a postion where, if they act with sanity, their electorate will dump them.
Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea for them to put all their eggs in the “conservative crazy” basket, and kick out any republican who could be characterized as “moderate.” Now they’re forced to work against the US’s best interests, if they hope for re-election.
They totally deserve the azz-whuppin’ they’re gonna get in 2014. They deserve much worse, actually.
Hmmm a poster who doesn’t suffer fools lightly but has no problem making foolish claims about messiahs, the destruction of the county, how he is set for life but another poster is not, references kook koolaid…
All of his posts “[s]poken like a true ignoramus. … If you’ve no clue as to what you’re talking about you really should just shut up. Its clear he should not have to suffer himself.
It’s odd (or perhaps not) that almost without exception, one can tell a if poster is conservative by looking for name-calling, absurd claims, and use of absolute terms in relative situations.
One year after Obama was elected, I was selling cars. There was a big tent sale with a gigantic tent where all the region’s salesman were assembled for an event. Suddenly a limosine pulled up and a man wearing an Obama mask emerged carrying a briefcase stuffed with five and ten dollar bills, (mostly ones, though). He immediately began to throw fistfulls of cash up in the air as he moved through the throng of salesmen. At least 80 salesmen began scrambling on the ground like a game of Twister grabbing up the waves of falling bills. The chaos lasted at least five minutes. This one fin landed on my beer gut and before I could get it someone snatched it right off me. (true). Now the Obama mask did have a simian tinge to it so the political attitude was blatantly obvious: Obama is a socialist monkey. I managed to get $79. Most got thirty to fifty. Some got $150. Then Obama got back in the limo and disappeared. I gave away most of the $79 to a single mom who worked part time there as a customer spotter and house snitch (lotdropping, stacking, skating, and smoking). I felt humiliated and abused after it was all over. The owner (100 dealerships!) must have had a good laugh. I sold 23 cars that month and made eight thousand dollars ($5K after taxes) and won a free steak dinner. I guess it is kinda funny. But you stay humble in the car biz.
Because libs never post insults or name call. Perhaps you missed some of Joe mama’s earlier posts or many of the other lib posts with the name calling or insults. Or perhaps you can’t take off your liberal tinted glasses to see these things. Your objectivity is sorely lacking sir.
You left that out, along with aggressively insisting we celebrate the love of baby Jeebus OR F*(K OFF AND DIE. Poor December 25th was left urine-soaked by cons marking their alleged territory.
“you’re an even better candidate for an intervention or lithium”
Aquagirl, that’s the 2nd straight time you’ve used that. Can’t you be a little more original. You’re starting to sound like tired old kamspam the lame repetitive post bunny.
In the past I’ve usually been very respectful of you Aquagirl but the last several times you’ve posted towards me and in particular today you’ve taken some snipes at me. So naturally if you’re willing to engage in nastiness then I’ve no problem taking the gloves off with you. If you want to post in a civilized manner to me then I’ll reciprocate. But if you want to be nasty and try and match wits against me then we can do that too. Good luck with that.
I also agree that most of the conservative inability to understand context and nuance is willful. They got nothin’, so they gotta troll.
Amen Brother. Amen.

paulo977: DDR ..Just feel like this today …enjoy the new arrivals in the moment as TIME flies
Thanks paulo that was nice (and beautiful) of you! Enjoyed it.

FYI — Was Romney’s “47% comment” doctored too?
No. And today boys and girls is Another lesson in small answers for small brains.
FYI — “the reporters that were actually THERE”???????????????? The same reporters who are out to “heal” the lame??????????????
Are you scared of reporters now TOO?!? Dang! Grow a pair why don’t ya?!?
I have you figured out. You’re not only lame, you’re a tool.
Better a tool, than a rabid simple minded fool who denies the existence of science, math, and common sense. Just saying…….

Ooh another FAulknerite!! Check out the big brains on indigo!! Did you like the book? It is ALSO one of my favorite, “faulkners”!

josef: Yep. Tells you to what level we’ve sunk, doesn’t it?
Word. (shudder) AND to make it even worse, the “ladies” of the bookclub, (some as old as my mother), start talking about their sexual fantasies that they’re having after reading each chapter!!! EEEEWWWWW!! Some things are best left unsaid and falls into the TMI category!!
A Bookclub should be about the book as art — A Fredrich of Hollywood’s Club should be about sexual fantasies! IMO!

RB from Pluto: I’d say anything in distribution or logistics would be good. It’s doubtful a “clerk” would ever be involved in the actual handling of nuclear materials and is more likely involved in the storage, security, and maintenance of the weapons
As usual you are WRONG! First off, I just made up the job — like how you make up “facts” — figured I get you back before the start of 2013; secondly how’d you pull “logistics and distrubution” out your azz like that? Do they teach that in conned school?
Jeez dude. Some of you guys are so whiny. JHM, Aquagirl, etc. You start off sniping, insulting and name calling and then when I respond in kind ya’ll start whining like children and crying foul. Ya’ll shouldn’t be throwing rocks from your glass houses.
Considering how every prognostication, prediction, estimate, and wild guess you’ve made here over the last couple years has either been dead wrong or a blatant lie, I doubt you’ll find many takers for your offer of economic tutoring here, even if you offered it for free.
“Only because it irritates the living daylights out of you, son. The more you let on what bothers you, the more I’ll do it. (pointing, laughing)”
There goes Joe Mama with his mind reading FAIL yet again. It doesn’t bother me in the least. I hope you keep doing it. Why? Because it just shows your immaturity and everyone can see it. I mean come on. The (pointing. laughing) stuff is 6th grade material.
And btw when you start off referring to other posters as “son” in an attempt to be degrading its just a tacit admission that you’re already angry. I think you need some of that lithium that Aquagirl was talking about. You sure seem like an angry little elf.
“Considering how every prognostication, prediction, estimate, and wild guess you’ve made here over the last couple years has either been dead wrong or a blatant lie, ”
Then perhaps you would like to detail some of these failed prognostications, estimates, and other blah blah of yours.
“I doubt you’ll find many takers for your offer of economic tutoring here, even if you offered it for free.”
I can’t make you see if you refuse to open your eyes. Nor can I teach you if you refuse to open your mind.
There is much more to this business than prediction, which is why the pundit who did it best—Nate Silver—eschewed gut feelings and Advisers Speaking on the Condition of Anonymity for data. Next year, with its promise of constant fiscal showdowns, will require a combination of hard math and careful reporting.
Doomy, go sleep off the hangover. You’re cranky and trying to pick fights with everyone here. You came rolling in with a stick up your bum for some unknown reason. (um, not that there’s anything wrong with that.) You can keep it right there, I’m not assisting in any adjustments or removal attempts.
If you want cranky fightfests post at Kyles. But you’ll have to wait a few days, the con blog can’t operate without a daddy because they $#!^ themselves when unattended.
Oddly enough the lib blog will be open so you can complain about how nasty libs are with their name-calling and insults.
Doom — “There goes Joe Mama with his mind reading FAIL yet again. It doesn’t bother me in the least.”
Sorry, son. You already admitted this past summer that you hate it. Mindreading fail or just more Doom Dishonesty? I think we both know the answer to that.
“I hope you keep doing it.”
Good.
“Why? Because it just shows your immaturity and everyone can see it. I mean come on. The (pointing. laughing) stuff is 6th grade material.”
Well, you’d certainly be the go-to guy for identifying 6th-grade material here, Doom.
“And btw when you start off referring to other posters as “son” in an attempt to be degrading its just a tacit admission that you’re already angry.”
Stop calling people “missy,” then, hypocrite. (giggling)
“I think you need some of that lithium that Aquagirl was talking about. You sure seem like an angry little elf.”
Psst. You sell medical insurance. You’re not a doctor.
They are all fired up. I brought them some raw, red meat and spread it around the blog. Look at them lap it up. Even aquagirl is frothing at the mouth after some.
If you want cranky fightfests post at Kyles. But you’ll have to wait a few days, the con blog can’t operate without a daddy because they $#!^ themselves when unattended.
You exaggerate the situation at Kyle’s… by as much as five, six percent.
Debbie, “As usual you are WRONG! First off, I just made up the job — like how you make up “facts” — figured I get you back before the start of 2013; secondly how’d you pull “logistics and distrubution” out your azz like that? Do they teach that in conned school?”
So I’m wrong because the job you made up is ficticious????? Help us with that “logic”, DDR.
Should we assume you don’t know what “logistics” and “distribution” are? This might help, Debbie. http://www.scl.gatech.edu/
It would be foolish for you to assume because you’re clueless everyone else is as well, DDR.
Oh, goodness, I’m terrified, Doom. You’ll shout at me on a blog because you have issues totally unrelated to me. This will affect my life deeply.
So the floor is yours…melt away, right under the picture of the cute little kid enjoying Christmas with her doting great-grandpa. This won’t be ironic, it’ll be meta-ironic.
Conservative victory: First, make unsubstantiated claims, with insults. Then, when rebutted, talk about “raw meat” and declare victory.
Doesn’t seem like much fun to me, but conservatives seem to LOVE this game. Whatever, hope you had fun. But for those who hope for rational discourse and not “raw meat,” it’s just annoying.
Thanks for admitting you were just “spreading raw meat”, and not even trying to be rational. Sometimes I suppose we just expect too much of you.
“bookman’s libs must be feeling generous. any other time, they would be calling her redneck trailer trash.”
True dat. But you need not be trailer trash to be made fun of for being named after a city. Plenty of comedians have mocked Paris Hilton or that girl from american idol New York for being named after a city. The usual line is something about what kind of a parent names their kid after a city. Incidentally there was a porn star named Savannah that had a sad ending. Poor girl ended up committing suicide.
ERma is one of my faves too! One of her quotes that i try to live by is:
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.
I look at that quote 2 ways:
(a) Don’t let anyone stop you from your destiny and
(b) Use it or loose it!
If Erma would’ve listened to her naysayers back when she was first starting out, then we’d never know who she was or her greatness.
And even though she died of cancer later in life, she LIVED — she took what she had and she LIVED!
Another great quote:
My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I pass out!
So I’m wrong because the job you made up is ficticious????? Help us with that “logic”, DDR.
Well Duh! Its like if we brought up the subject of Mr. Snuffleupagus and I said, “Mr. Snuffleupagus likes tighty whities”. How can you refute that when Mr. Snuffleupagus is a fictitious character and doesn’t have any “likes or dislikes” per se?
Or if I said something like, “Mitt Romney Has Feelings” — again, since Mitt Romney is a fictitious made up person, that sentence is clearly something that can not be proven or substantiated!
“I wish they cared for the Country more than their worthless party and failed ideology.”
Amen brother.
The good news is, as the typical republican voter turns more moderate, moderate representatives get “primaried” by extremist candidates, who tend to lose to dem candidates. If the republicans keep putting party before country, the house will turn democratic after the 2014 elections.
Remember all that stuff the conservative posters keep saying the dems should have done when they controlled both houses?
German energy transformation has all the signs of a modern miracle: A complete shift of the world’s fourth largest economy to 80% renewable energy and complete buy-in from all political parties—from the most conservative to most liberal.
Remember all that stuff the conservative posters keep saying the dems should have done when they controlled both houses?
No, but I distinctly remember the assertion made by several people here (or maybe one person using several sock-puppets) that even Elmer Fudd could defeat Obama.
Just finished all of the stuff on my To Do List for today, and now it’s time to do a whole lot of nothing! Maybe smoke a cigar and watch some football in a bit.
Lotsa anger and negativity here today. But then even if it is the day after Christmas, why should today be any diff?
But not me; even if one of the more pious here throws their Bible at me, I’m gonna do like W and duck!
“Funny how he was stalking me yesterday…. really creepy. ”
More I R O N Y brought to you by the kreep left. So how many consecutive posts has the kreep posted to or about Doomy today??? The obsession continues….
willfuly ignorant? That’s what happens when Lord help us spends too much time in liberal fantasyland and doesn’t realize that the Ds control the senate and the presidency.
I dunno, I haven’t said a thing and you’re talking about yourself in the third person again.
The creepy “honeybunch” tone does have a nice bonus of further marginalizing your angry white guy self, (and your buds) so run around ’til you hit a wall at high speed. Nothing will happen in my house.
Fog Horn was the veep candidate. No doubt he would have out pointed Joe Biden in the veep debate. When Joe was making a damn fool of himself guffawing, grinning, and generally looking like a buffoon Fog Horn woulda “plucked” him clean. Pun intended.
Those feds they told us they fired still have their jobs. You know the ones who created the environment for the Ambassador and three others to get killed. I wonder if the culprits used some the guns sold by the feds in Mexico. Obama and his ilk just can not stay out of the lime light.
Debbie. “Well Duh! Its like if we brought up the subject of Mr. Snuffleupagus and I said, “Mr. Snuffleupagus likes tighty whities”. How can you refute that when Mr. Snuffleupagus is a fictitious character and doesn’t have any “likes or dislikes” per se?”
I’m not sure any more needs to be added to that one, Debbie. The sheer stupidity of it pretty much speaks for itself.
It was only a matter of time before kreep gets mad and declares a Doomy meltdown and lib victory. As predictable as the sun setting in the west. And then he pulls the “real manly” card. This from the northpoint mall starbucks internet tough guy. Damn that’s funny.
Allright – back to my list of the Top 10 2012 BEST Republicans Punks!
No. 6:
Florida Republicans Got Punked By The voters even though they tried to suppress the vote!
Floridians endured election chaos and marathon voting lines this year, largely thanks to reduced early voting hours, voter purges, and voter registration restrictions pushed by Republican legislators. In an exclusive report by the Palm Beach Post, several prominent Florida Republicans are now admitting that these election law changes were geared toward suppressing minority and Democratic votes.
Former governor Charlie Crist (R-FL) and former GOP chairman Jim Greer (R-FL), as well as several current GOP members, told the Post that Republican consultants pushed the new measures as a way to suppress Democratic voters. Crist expanded early voting hours in 2008 despite party pressure, but Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) targeted early voting almost immediately when he took office in 2011. Scott’s administration claimed the new laws were meant to curb in-person voter fraud, despite the fact that an individual in Florida is more likely to be struck by lightning than commit voter fraud.
Current party members and consultants confirmed the motive was not to stop voter fraud but to make it harder for Democrats and minorities to vote.
Obamacare Preview? Sick European Elderly Shipped to Asia
Germany ‘exporting’ old and sick to foreign care homes
“Growing numbers of elderly and sick Germans are being sent overseas for long-term care in retirement and rehabilitation centres because of rising costs and falling standards in Germany.
The move, which has seen thousands of retired Germans rehoused in homes in eastern Europe and Asia, has been severely criticised by social welfare organisations who have called it “inhumane deportation”.”
“Those feds they told us they fired still have their jobs. You know the ones who created the environment for the Ambassador and three others to get killed. I wonder if the culprits used some the guns sold by the feds in Mexico. Obama and his ilk just can not stay out of the lime light.”
wille, is that all you got? Nothing else to be negative about?
Personally, I think Doom crossed the line as he often does when Jay is not around because he like to be a chest thumper. He’s due for a permanent ban. The post to Aquagirl was just unacceptable.
“The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the deadly Benghazi terror attack remain on the State Department payroll — and will all be back to work soon, The Post has learned.
The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just switching desks. And the other three are simply on administrative leave and are expected back.”
Well, I wish y’all would quit ending your posts by writing up to down instead of across. You make it tough on a old redneck that never finished the 5th grade, y’know?
Even though LimpBalls “apologized” to women; AND even though Mittzie said he supports women; AND even though the 3 republican women in politics said that their party just LOVES them some womenfolk……

A clear victor has emerged in the Republican war on women. Women.
With women breaking strongly for President Barack Obama and a banner year for women candidates, one thing is clear: the 2012 election is a mandate for women’s equality and reproductive rights.
Let’s first take a look at the presidential vote. In a year when women’s issues were hotly debated and Democrats touted their pro-women principles, women favored Obama by 11 points. The president also benefited from an 11-point gender gap and women’s higher turnout.
Women’s rights likewise played a starring role in one of last night’s unanticipated headlines. Twenty women, a record number, are likely headed to the US Senate. All but one are pro-choice Democrats who campaigned, as well, as feminists. The story in the US House of Representatives was similar, if not quite as spectacular. These female candidates were lifted to victory by women’s disgust at Republican attacks on women, which was then channeled by women-focused political action committees, such as Emily’s List, Women Vote, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, into successful and well-funded campaigns.
I’m sure that’s the same thing the Germans were saying… right before their grandparents were shipped off. What was that everyone here keeps saying about how much better European universal healthcare is?
cat, I guess we’ll let Jay judge when he sees the screen shot. The Savannah comment was tacky too. But it’s just one of the many reason Jay will not respond to the child. It’s the norm at Kyle’s though.
“Keep-I have the screen shot. I vote permanent ban for doom. He has crossed the line way too many times.”
More liberals trying to squelch people/thoughts/ideas they don’t agree with. Not a very “tolerant” bunch when you really look at their behavior. Seems they have about as much issue with the 1st amendment as they do the 2nd.
This is a good time for a PSA ladies: When a man flips rapidly between calling you “honey” and “beeyotch” or pronounces your vayjay undesirable (apparently on the idea his judgement should ruin your self-esteem)…..RUN. RUN LIKE HELL. Oh, did I leave out his bragging about his body in a speedo when he gets mad? That’s not a good sign either. You don’t need a degree in psychology to know he’s got a chunk of attic insulation missing.
These guys are creepy on blogs. IRL they have hands, guns, and an endless supply of misogyny. You can’t tell if they’ll stop with words….which are bad enough…and put your picture on the front page.

Now please, Doomy, carry on. Declare yourself winner all you want. You’re providing quite an educational opportunity.
If you ever decide to improve your educational level beyone it’s present 8th grade level, then I suggest getting a high school diploma and at least some college. Maybe then, you’ll have enough knowledge to understand, at least a little, what I post here.
Those feds they told us they fired still have their jobs. You know the ones who created the environment for the Ambassador and three others to get killed.
Oh man williebeblind!!! that was on my Republican punked list too!!
Conned & Confused Punked by GOP On Benghazi! GOP cut Funds to State Department — No Funds? No money for Security!
For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration’s request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 — cutting back on the department’s request by $331 million.
Consulate personnel stationed in Benghazi had allegedly expressed concerns over their safety in the months leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks that killed four Americans, including Amb. Chris Stevens. Chaffetz and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, claim those concerns were ignored.

Personally, I don’t care what you think. Its nunna yo binness anyway. She can stick up for herself kreep. And you can mind your own binness.
“He’s due for a permanent ban. ”
Spoken like a loser whose tired of blog beatdowns at the hands of the Doom. If you can’t beat em then try to silence them. Typical liberal. If you don’t like what someone says you try to squelch their speech. Typical.
“The post to Aquagirl was just unacceptable”
Aquagirl started things. She was warned that the gloves would come off. If she wants to run her mouth then she needs to put on her big girl panties. If she is going to start with references to lithium and suggestions of mental illness then its going to come back on her. And again. Its none of your damn business.
“Congress did cut the funds on embassy security. The House makes the budget and the GOP controls the House…”
So there was no security at all for these people because those funds were cut. What a bunch of liberal malarky. Next you tell me they did not need guns.

Indigo,
I have 2 degrees. Given the amateruish posts you come up with I doubt you have anything more than a high school diploma or a year or 2 of jr. college. You’re just not on my level. Stand down before you get your fee fees hurt like Aquagirl.
“Aquagirl started things. She was warned that the gloves would come off. If she wants to run her mouth then she needs to put on her big girl panties. If she is going to start with references to lithium and suggestions of mental illness then its going to come back on her.’
It was not they did not have security; what they had was inadequate and the nearest Rapid Response team was in Italy, more than 12 hours away for an attack that lasted a little more than 30 minutes.
The situation was so muddled, the Rapid Response team had to try to “hitch a ride” to Libya on private airlines.

Jackie – he knows all that. Conservative practice “willful misinterpretation” to make a point, when they can’t make it in real life.
For someone who doesn’t care what I think, he spent a lot of time addressing me. Obsessive. But what can you say about someone who refers to himself by a blogname and thinks he has delivered “beatdowns” like some little internet tough clown. And then whines because he falsely believes he receives the same tone of comments that he gives others and all of a sudden he has major butthurt. But hey, its okay kiddie. Jay’s the decider….. tick….tick….tick.
It appears that you are trying to conflate the action with the events.
The budget cuts had nothing to do with the attacks; the cuts had to do with the amount of security provided by the Ambassador.
As you may not be aware, Benghazi was more than 600 miles from Tripoli and the Ambassador, who had more than 26 years experience in the country as was reportedly beloved by the locals, wanted to expand the influence of the USA in all parts of the country. Benghazi was not even a consulate, but a satellite station the Ambassador put together in hopes of expanding the influence of the government of the USA.
“IRL they have hands, guns, and an endless supply of misogyny. You can’t tell if they’ll stop with words….which are bad enough…and put your picture on the front page.”
Looks like our resident psychologist must have missed the post of mine a week or 2 ago on one of the gun threads where I stated that I don’t have a gun, never owned one, and probably never will own one. Not a fan of them. Looks like her amateurish psychological profile is already falling apart based on the nonsense about anger, guns, etc. Try again.
Oh, and the bit about “putting your picture on the front page”. Oh please. Enough with your faux drama Miss psychologist.
Jackie: A bit of research clearly shows the problems with the Benghzi attacks and the amount of money the House cut from the budget of the State Department.
Jackie — Sigh. First off, there are three things wrong with your sentence:
(a) You are using REASON
(b) You are stating FACTS
(c) You backed UP your facts with a LINK from a reputable SOURCE.

Assigning a trait to “conservatives” because of the actions of ONE “conservative” is kinda like saying “liberals” see Obama as “messiah or the One” because of the words of one or two “liberals”.
TBG — “While it’s true that Kyle suspends his blog when he can’t monitor it, it must be said that some of the left leaning posters over there had a HUGE hand in making that necessary (at least necessary to Kyle).”
Kyle’s got a reputation for suspending or banning posters more readily than Jay does, yet many of Kyle’s posters are themselves banned from Jay’s.
That said, I wouldn’t be so certain of which side was responsible for the situation over there.
Well it sure does look like Doom thinks that the refusal to sink to his lowlife posting level is a failure to keep up. How silly but do give us that pathetic whine about how you warned her and how your feelings were hurt because you perceive her to be doing the things you do all the time. You are a very very silly little boy/child.
Aquagirl didn’t touch a nerve. I’ve just been easy on her and today just decided to give back so to speak. She’s typical of the lib mentality on here. They can dish it out. They just can’t take it. And when they can’t take it what do they do??? Like clockwork they start whining to Bookman to save them. It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
I see that kreep is still blah blah blahing away. Well at least he didn’t sink to his lowlife level today of calling someone garbage. Kreep must be related to those fainting goats with all the drama he stirs up. Oh noes! Kreep fainting.
“Then there’s this little guy. He doesn’t get the attention of his more famous cousin the Andoran goat…”- narrator. Yep! He’s definitely talking about kreep.
“Assigning a trait to “conservatives” because of the actions of ONE “conservative” is kinda like saying “liberals” see Obama as “messiah or the One” because of the words of one or two “liberals”.”
““Congress did cut the funds on embassy security. The House makes the budget and the GOP controls the House…”
The obvious solution is to make up some BS story about a Youtube video and feed it to the public until it becomes clear some of the public isn’t really as stupid as you thought. Then blame somebody, something, ANYTHING. to avoid being responsible for an attack on Americans a few weeks before the election.
Especially since Al Q was defeated and on the run…

I haven’t really followed the food fights all that closely over there–it’s possible the worst things have been moderated out by the time I’ve had a look.
I will say, however, that his rules, while being laudably comprehensive, seem to be rather spottily applied, and that a few of the regulars (some of whom brag about being banned from Jay’s, I might add–real mature, that) routinely flaunt them.

Republicans Got Punked when the Mittsers Son Claimed He NEVER Wanted to win Anyway!
DUDE… YOUR DAD RAN TWICE! (you don’t do that by accident). This must be comforting to those people who supported him and gave of their time and money to his campaign!
Mitt Romney didn’t want to be president, anyway.
That’s what Tagg Romney, Mitt’s oldest son, told the Boston Globe for its big post-mortem on his father’s failed presidential bid published on Sunday.
“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life,” Tagg Romney told the paper.
55% of women voted for President Obama, while only 44% voted for Mitt Romney. And they make up 53% of the voters in America.
That is six elections in a row and is a symptom of the GOP’s shoddy record on women’s and children’s rights/protections.
And unless the hard core right wing starts making some better choices (get it?) on some of these matters – and I don’t see that happening – it is going to be a LONG, LONG time before they are again trusted by a majority of the women in this land.
If one would take the time and Google for documentation about the findings of the bipartisan commission, the reading is easy and precise and points out the failings of the Benghazi experience.

Bill clinton uses actual math and ratios to counter the republican magic based economic plan. Trickle Down, which hasn’t worked since some bright young republican coined the phrase, has trickled down to nothing.
The Ryan Budget: A Mistake of Historic Proportions). It is premised on the existence of a fantasy world within which entrepreneurs, despite the decline in sales that would follow budget cuts, suddenly increase hiring and investment because they have been able to throw off the shackles of government interference. I don’t know any other way to say it–this is idiotic. A reduction in spending by any sector in the macroeconomy will reduce revenue in the private sector and thus make our predicament even worse. Say, for example, that for some reason we no longer had any need for a military presence anywhere in the world and therefore fired every American soldier, marine, airman, and sailor. Precisely how, Mr. Ryan, is this supposed to be good news for the entrepreneurs who sold groceries, gasoline, housing, clothing, etc., to these individuals? You don’t need a PhD in economics to answer that one–it’s not.
Romney may not be as extreme as Ryan, but he is cut from the same cloth. As he states on his web page, “The only recipe for fiscal health and a thriving private economy is a government that spends within its means.” This is patently false. The only fiscally healthy or responsible policy is one that generates sufficient demand to hire all those willing to work. This does not include cuts to “non-security discretionary spending by 5 percent,” the shifting of federal government programs the private sector or state governments (entities that DO face a hard budget constraint), or, God forbid, a balanced budget amendment. Furthermore and as argued in an earlier post (The Real Job Creators: Consumers), the economy’s job creators are not, as Romney says, entrepreneurs and the wealthy, but the middle class. How can today’s unemployment be a function of overregulation and overtaxation when we are at or near historic lows in each? Rather, the problem, pure and simple, is demand. No amount of cost cutting will induce firms to expand employment in the absence of an increase in sales. Because this fact is lost on the Romney-Ryan ticket, their economic policies would be a disaster.
So another Obama-rat is resigning. Lisa Jackson in the EPA. Good riddance to bad rubbish. When she says “I look forward to spending more time with my family” I assume she means her dogs and cats. Her war on the coal industry and those emails of hers under an assumed name were about to make her political poison for her master Obama. She had to go.
Now, moving on to Kathleen Sebilius. She has her own problems and will be gone in 12 months. When the public becomes aware of just what Obamacare has done to the healthcare system in this country all of Obama’s crowd (including those in the Senate and House who helped him pass it) will runaway with their fat pensions and their fat healthcare plans. Just more Obama-rat’s scurrying for cover. Also Holder and Geithner both will soon be gone as well. They have absolutely made fools of themselves as well as their master.
I realize it is their attempt at plausible deniability.
By continuing to make factual information available, the ability to fabricate reasons for not believing documented factual information becomes more difficult to deny.

_______________________________________________
the cat, I have noticed that this is the 2nd (that *I* have seen) that you have called for the ban of a right leaning poster.
Have any left leaning posters said anything *you* think warrented and “ban” or even a rebuke from you?
Maybe the one that stated he wished all “cons/repubs” dead, drowned in a bath tub?
How about the one that likened “cons” to Sandusky, even if some of those same “cons” may have been victims of childhood sexual abuse.
Then there are the calls for “cons” to be assaulted/injured/killed because their views on gun control differs with some on the left.
None of those are ban worthy in your eyes?
The thing that I have always liked about cats is that they are observant. They basically see EVERYTHING.
“I realize it is their attempt at plausible deniability.

You and DDR cant fool me I saw the video…lol. Liberals incantations! Say what! Incantations! Say what! Incantations!
Doom, I’m not gonna call you out on that on the blog, but I hope you don’t believe that in your own head.
You got irritated and went right into the sarcastic honey/b!tch/you’re ugly/sex page. That’s not cool, and it’s surely not good evidence there wasn’t something going on in your head. You don’t start talking about JamVet’s sex life when you’re angry with him.
You’re darn right I’m an amateur psychologist in this matter, most women are. We don’t do it for fun, we do it because it’s an almost universal experience to have some guy melt down unexpectedly. It can end very badly.
You may have daughters one day. If their boyfriend speaks to them like that when they argue and they stay with him, you’ll be the reason. Guys who suddenly start using derisive terms and talking about sex when they’re angry at a woman are creepy. If you’re okay being one of those guys, I can’t stop you.
And BTW, I have not and will not complain to Jay for anything you’ve said. But that’s just for the record….If you do get in trouble you’ll blame me as the b!tch who made you do it.

Sheldon and Co. spend over a hundred million dollars on someone that didn’t even want the job. Maybe they shoulda asked ole Mitt up front, “Do you want the job?” And wait for the answer. Don’t jump the gun. By the way, I hear the Newt really wants the job. Then there’s always SayRah. She dreams about painting the White House red.

Republicans Got Punked When The Man Who Doesn’t Back Down — BACKED DOWN
Rush Limbaugh has “sincerely apologize[d]” for using the words “slut” and “prostitute” to describe Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke on two separate days and claimed that he “did not mean a personal attack” on her.
Rush Limbaugh is STILL hemorrhaging advertisers — several days after calling a Georgetown student a “slut” for asking the University for free birth control … bringing his grand total to NINE lost sponsors.
Two sponsors — Tax Resolution and AOL — pulled their ads from his radio show today, following the mass exodus of advertisers like ProFlowers, LegalZoom and Citrix Systems over the weekend.
As for the other advertisers that have jumped ship — bedding companies Sleep Train and Sleep Number, plus Quicken Loans and the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
Rush made the “slut” comment on the airwaves last week — also calling student Sandra Fluke a “prostitute,” after the Georgetown Law student testified before the House of Representatives on why birth control should be made freely available.
Rush offered a weak apology on Saturday — claiming, “For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.”
And you remind me of that kid that Romney and the others used to beat up on.

That said, I wouldn’t be so certain of which side was responsible for the situation over there. – Both are responsible. I used to visit regularly until Kyle started the “bed time” policy.
And here we come citing “degrees.” A degree only means you sat through X number of lectures, wrote Y number of papers, etc, spent Z amount of money. sucked b*tt with a bunch of per-fessers long enough to get your own sheepskin attesting to your success at that. It doesn’t mean you know a whole heckuva lot even about your specialty…as soon as somebody starts citing their pieces of paper, my antennae go up…who are you trying to impress and for what purpose?
I’m sorta like Tallulah when she said to Dorothy Parker, “they tell me you’re a wit. Say something funny.” Okay, you’ve got “schooling.” Now, say something educated. Better still, say something smart.

Republicans Got Punked When Karl Rove Had a Major Meltdown Cause He Just Lost a Bunch of rich men’s Money and he knows he’s gotta answer to the Koch Godfathers….
(I’ll let the Video do the talking for me…)
Ahh What the heck!
When Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” after Tuesday’s live election night coverage, the only thing left to discuss was the absolute meltdown that occurred at Fox News after President Obama was re-elected.
Even days before the election, no one at Fox seemed to think that Mitt Romney losing was a possibility, and on election night, Karl Rove proved just how in denial he was by refusing to believe that Ohio would go to Obama (after 74% of the votes were in). Later, a stunned Sarah Palin and Bill O’Reilly played a little game Jon Stewart likes to call, “White People Judo.”
Watch the clip above for Stewart’s full “avalanche” coverage, then watch part two below wherein he breaks down who Fox News thinks is really to blame. Could it be the mainstream media? Hurricane Sandy? Minorities and women exercising their right to vote? Or could it have been the “Obama smear machine” which happens to have said a lot of the same things as both Fox News and GOP supporter Sheldon Adelson in the past?

Kyle’s got a reputation for suspending or banning posters more readily than Jay does…
I suspect Dave R sends Kyle a dozen or so emails a day tattling on the various infractions of Kyle’s rules.
____________________________________
Kam, I think you estimate is low re: the number Dave sends to Kyle.
Oh puh-leeze. I’ve been plenty courteous to you for a long time. And you’ve been nothing but snarky towards me and today in particular. If you can’t take it then I suggest that you simply stop dishing it out.
“You don’t start talking about JamVet’s sex life when you’re angry with him. ”
JamVet doesn’t anger me.
But if you had been paying attention I made a joke about kamspam yesterday lacking experience with women in the horizontal position and I constantly joke about kreep. I can’t remember if I’ve ever made a joke about a woman. So I think you’re assuming quite a bit if you think I’m just being sexist.. Seems like you have a pre-conceived narrative that you try to put cons into when they lob one back your way. You should be careful about putting people in those little boxes.
“You’re darn right I’m an amateur psychologist in this matter, most women are. We don’t do it for fun, we do it because it’s an almost universal experience to have some guy melt down unexpectedly. It can end very badly. ”
Yep. I’ve heard about it plenty of times from female acquaintances and friends.
“You may have daughters one day. If their boyfriend speaks to them like that when they argue and they stay with him, you’ll be the reason. Guys who suddenly start using derisive terms and talking about sex when they’re angry at a woman are creepy. If you’re okay being one of those guys, I can’t stop you. ”
I have nieces who I am extremely protective of. Female friends and former gfs as well. If you could meet any of them women that know me well they would tell you just how very wrong you are about me. As for your statement that I’m suddenly derisive well it seems to me that you’ve been that way too me for awhile now. And do you really want me to treat you less equally than your male counterparts. I try to treat everyone the same- men, women, black, white, etc. Seems like you can’t make up your mind about being treated equally and that you only want equal treatment when its of benefit to you.
“And BTW, I have not and will not complain to Jay for anything you’ve said. But that’s just for the record….If you do get in trouble you’ll blame me as the b!tch who made you do it.”
That’s fine. I wasn’t going to complain about your suggestions of mental illness with the lithium comments. Mental illness isn’t exactly a laughing matter either. I’ve had people on here say vile, nasty things towards me and one poster suggesting something vile about my mother flagging down carloads of young men for sex. Others suggested that she be banned but I said no. As despicable and horrific as her comments were I asked Jay not to ban her. I don’t go asking that they be banned. That’s a wussy way out and I”m above seeing people banned because I believe in free speech no matter how distasteful.

Aquagirl, I think you just got played the “I’m your victim card”. He has played the same whine on just about everyone else after his little “come to Jesus” moment when he failed to protect his dog and wanted to cry on the blog about how he was going to change…
“Really? Are you that stupid? Stuff like this is why we can’t take you serious TC. I mean we would LIKE to, but then you out with garbage like that…”
WTH? I assume it means that no one can post after a certain time period. But I didn’t know for sure. And so, for asking a simple question like that you are going to hurl personal insults at me after sincerely asking (according to you) if all was well with me just 3 days ago. Geez, man…get a grip.
On December 19, 1988, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned lawn darts from sale in the United States due to their hazards as a flying projectile with a sharp metal point causing multiple deaths.[1]
Shortly after, in 1989, they were also banned in Canada.[2] Since then, alternatives have surfaced that are available for sale in Canada that are made of plastic.
Jarts for sale at Canadian Tire
It is possible to import parts of a lawn dart – plastic flights, metal bodies, and steel spigots – as well as a complete set of replacement parts to repair damaged lawn darts, into the US and Canada. However, fully assembled individual darts, sets, and kits are banned from entry by US and Canada customs.

Many people suffer from the misconception that Christmas is a Christian holiday. The earliest history of Christmas is composed of “pagan” (non-Christian) fertility rites and practices which predate Jesus by centuries. The truth is, in short, the real history of Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity. Many of the traditions which we hold dear, such as decorating Christmas trees, singing Christmas carols, and giving Christmas gifts, are rooted in the traditions of non-Christian religions.
We do not observe Christmas on December 25th because it was the date in history when Jesus was born. Nobody knows exactly what that date was, but references in the Bible show it most likely did not take place in winter. Rather it is because this was the date that the Romans historically celebrated the winter solstice. This celebration was about dies natalis solis invicti: the day of the birth of the unconquerable sun, which took place on December 22nd. The winter solstice held the promise of the return of springtime and earthly renewal. In Roman history, this was the time of Saturnalia, honoring the God of Agriculture, for the week before the solstice, and Juvenalia, a feast in honor of the children of Rome, around the same time.
On the 25th of the month they celebrated the birth of the sun-god Mithra. Masters and servants traded places temporarily, and everybody had a rollicking good time. It was during Saturnalia that the tradition of exchanging gifts was established. They gave one another Stenae or fruits which were intended to bring good luck. The Romans placed an enormous amount of pressure on the early Christians to rejoice along with them, and around the time of the fourth century, they began to celebrate Christmas around the same time. It was inevitable that Christians should make a connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son.
In the Middle Ages, Christmas was a raucous, drunken celebration which resembled a carnival. Poor people would go on a Christmas”trick or treat” around the richer neighborhoods, causing them misery if they didn’t get what they wanted.

Honestly I never figured you for a Christian. I mean, you are always projecting anger on this blog and I thought the followers of The Prince of Peace would be more mellow than that. I really don’t get you Christians. You always push your dogma into others faces, but you don’t do as your Christ had done in his time. He walked the walk, led by example. I don’t see that happening much here. You want people to believe in what you believe, then shut up about it and just quietly show us how. You believe what you want and I will believe what I want. I figure there are more than one stairways to Heaven. But Happy Saturnalia anyway…

JamVet @ 11:51- That’s a pretty accurate description of the origins of Christmas, which certainly is rooted in Pagan beliefs and took place long before the supposed birth of Jesus. However, your article assumes that Jesus was a real person. If he was, then no one on earth knew of him at the time. There are no written records of Jesus during the time he supposedly lived. No accounts of his “life” were documented until 70 years after he supposedly lived, and when those records appeared they were purely allegorical- metaphorical stories meant to reinforce a belief system rather than a historical, biographical account of real events. And almost all the godly events of Jesus’ life had been borrowed from the myths of previous cultures- the virgin birth, healing the sick, his execution and resurrection, etc. These stories existed long before Jesus supposedly lived. If he had lived and had been executed by Romans as it tells in the Bible there surely would have been a written record of it sometime around year one. But there’s not. Jesus was created around 67 AD when a new cult, an offshoot of Judaism, cobbled together fables from more ancient religions. Jesus almost certainly never existed. With that said, this atheist is enjoying the Pagan holiday, complete with Christmas trees, presents, children eating cookies, and hot tamales. Yes, it’s wonderful time.

Jezz, talk about the liberal agenda.
We get a lesson on the lack of merit concerning the existence of Jesus himself–ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
By the way folks its is completely human like to take a day in which you as a people are forced to celebrate secular or Pagan gods and turn it into a day of your religious celebration upon being freed or liberated. So while the facts of the origin are true it’s not like the Jews or any other people under Roman rule were free to express any other religious celebration.
As for the exsistence of Jesus. Scholars debate as we speak wheather or not the Dead Sea Schrolls were written by Jesus himself and it certainly follows logic that the church would wipe the record clean of any Jesus references since they offered him to the Romans in an effort to get rid of him.
Considering the story is that the high priest and other religious leaders were concerned with his infulence and were not happy about being called out I would think they could have wiped him from the record books. Considering most were illiterate during that time it was the powerful who would tend to follow the law, that were doing the historical recordings.
But as you say it means nothing

From the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, you have a large body of religious belief whose authorship is totally unknown. And yet, a large part of your life rests on absolute belief in the validity of these religious instructions.
It just seems logical to ask for some solid evidence to support this kind of belief.

I”ve long taken Jesus words that his way is “hard” not to mean that his tenets are difficult to follow, because they aren’t, but what IS hard is to let go of old attitudes and hatreds.

Christians do not hate anyone not like them. Sure there are the nutjobs like those from Westboro but they certainly do not represent the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians. Just because we don’t accept and approve of those things the Bible call sin does not make us haters. Most of the genuine hate I see on Jay’s and other blogs is that towards those who identify as Christians and have the temerity to defend their faith. Because I have a Biblical worldview, I abhor the social policies of this President but I do not hate him. I pray for him and hope that one day he too will turn away from the Secular Humanistic, Morally Relativistic worldview that drives his social policy.

Yes and NO. Both the Koran and the writings of Buddha mention Jesus.
In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God’s important prophets.[34][35] In Islam, Jesus is a bringer of scripture, and the product of a virgin birth, but not the victim of crucifixion. Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.[36] Bahá’í scripture almost never refers to Jesus as the Messiah, but calls him a Manifestation of God.
Separate non-Christian sources used to establish the historical existence of Jesus include the works of 1st century Roman historians Josephus and Tacitus.[288][295] Josephus scholar Louis H. Feldman has stated that “few have doubted the genuineness” of Josephus’ reference to Jesus in Antiquities 20, 9, 1 and it is only disputed by a small number of scholars.[289][296][297][298] Bart D. Ehrman states that the existence of Jesus and his crucifixion by the Romans is attested to by a wide range of sources, including Josephus and Tacitus.[299]
The historical existence of Jesus as a person is a separate issue from any religious discussions about his divinity, or the theological issues relating to his nature as man or God.
In essence, Jesus DID exist. Whether he was divine or not is up to the faith of the reader.

Yeah it was AWFUL most of the day — I went to the hospital to see my sister and the twins. Those boys are FAT! They were crying because they were hungry, (again), and those little carrier thingies that the nurses put them in were just shaking and rocking. My sister couldn’t feed them fast enough!
She comes home tomorrow and still hasn’t named them yet — I’m still pushing for her to name at least ONE Deacon — I think she hates that name though!
This has been a really great Christmas this year — I got two new HEALTHY nephews and my sister is healthy and doing fine. I am blessed and happy as a bug in a rug!

Amen to that. I was really worried for my sister; her first pregnancy was a breeze, but this one was hell! I was scared i was going to loose her; but like i said, she’s fine and she’s just GLOWING with happiness. Her family is now complete. I’ve been begging her to PLEASE get her tubes tied! She’s a practicing catholic so she doesn’t believe in birth control, but she’s really a bit too “old” to be having anymore children.
I’m hoping our mother can talk sense into her. My mom, the super-catholic, had her tubes tied after she had child number 9. My mother was like, “Hey god knows my heart and he KNOWS i’m sick of being pregnant!”

True Christians do not hate individuals personally but they deplore the acts that individuals take that is against the teachings of God. Some people can not separate the act from the person and there is where some Christians get into trouble because they should never judge the person just rebuke the act. The other issues is non believers do not like to be called out for their immoral acts. They know they are acting wrong but instead of accepting the facts they lash out against the ones bringing their immoral acts out.

Word. Women who have multiple pregnancies, especially multiple pregnancies close together, have lots of problems later in life.
My mother had to get a “bladder mesh”(?) or something like that because pregnancies result in pressure on your bladder and it stretches or something……..at any rate, as she aged she had problems with it.
She also had back problems, and vericose veins. The muscle tone in her stomach never returned to what it was, pre-child #4, no matter how many situps and crunches she did; so she had her stomach “tucked”(?) — her waist is now a stunning 20″ (mine is 21 — I HATE her
).
So she is one to quickly point out the fallacy of a bunch of MEN, (priests/pope), telling WOMEN about NOT taking birth control; when they have no idea, nor do they care, about the consequences of multiple pregnancies on some women’s bodies.

but I’m not talking legalities. I’m talking sin (immorality) Stealing from a child is betraying an innocent. Presumably, an adult has already had their innocence betrayed many times and is therefore more equipped to deal with that betrayal. A child is not…or shouldn’t be.

Now i have been blessed in life to meet REAL believers. And these believers called themselves Christians, some called themselves Hindu, some called themselves Moslem; but ALL were real in their faith.
I have YET to find one TRULY religious doctrine that preaches hate and discord.
The bible teaches love.
The Koran teaches love.
The teachings of Buddha are about loving oneself and therefore you are able to love others.
The Hindu teaches a love of a higher plane.
It’s the TRUE believers that are the real followers of their faith.
But, unfortunately, its their evil twins that are highlighted on blogs, in the media, and in the businesses and offices/workplaces around the world.
IMO its not the true believers that make non-believers sneer, point, and ridicule them. It’s their evil twins who profess to love God, yet hate their neighbors.

I still can’t get over Django. Three hours. The n word was used at least a thousand times in that movie. Literally every other word. Tarantino said that he couldn’t imagine anyone else but Jamie Fox as Django. Hasn’t Tarantino seen Blazing Saddles? Fox was a terrible choice. Barely worked. Barely. The whole thing leaned too far toward Mel Brooks. There’s a bit with the KKK where the terrorists complain about their costumes. It’s funny, and one of the highlights, but it’s unearned. It’s like the director watched a Seinfeld marathon and seeing a documentary on medieval torture techniques. The contrast in tone is too disconcerting and you get the feeling that the shark gets jumped over and over and over. I have been searching for an original artist all my life. I want to be amused by something new, that has no references. I think I’ve seen every movie in 2014. Okay? Movie pitches are always, “It’s like Mission Impossible with Vampires”. Tarantino is like most successful artists: they think they’re infallible and they truly believe every pronouncement is law and every idea will work. It’s a great time to be a yes man.

Indigo — I don’t think Mary was averse to the Holy Spirit impregnating her. She had grew up with the scriptures and heard about them all of her life, so she would’ve known that to be the “Earthly mother of the son of God, the mother of the Saviour of her people”; would be a great honor.
Could she have said No and not faced consequences? Perhaps — but we’ll never know.
Luke 1:30-39
English Standard Version (ESV)
30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”[a]
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[b] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[c] of the Lord; let it be to me according to you

First off, ANY religion is based on FAITH. Nothing more nothing less. You either believe or you DON’T believe. totally up to you.
Secondly — Mary ASSENTED, so she was not raped. Through out the bible God always gives you a choice; and he always lets you keep your free will — even in the times of Adam & Eve; they had choices and CHOSE to disobey.

And, YES, I believe in the Bible and it’s words; although I consider myself Christ Like; but I DON’T consider myself rabid in my faith.
Although I believe, I still question — although I have faith, I still hold back on some things i find unpleasant.
But since I am a 21st Century woman, I feel that I would OF COURSE find some things in teh bible objection.
Such as:
The passage in Genesis that speaks of Sodom & Gommorrah and Lot wanting to give his daughters to strange men:
Lot refused to give his guests to the inhabitants of Sodom and, instead, offered them his two virgin daughters “which have not known man” and to “do ye to them as [is] good in your eyes”.[Gen 19:8]
and many others. Got to answer another question! (sigh…..)

Two things i would like to gently point out…the first being is that i believe you when you say the Bible gives you a choice to do right or wrong, but sadly, there are those among us who would put themselves above God and try to legislate Gods choice away.
And secondly, there is a fine line between faith and delusion. Faith can accept other concepts with open eyes and not be affected. Delusion, on the other hand, has eyes tightly closed to anything…

The day after Labor Day, just as campaign season was entering its final frenzy, FreedomWorks, the Washington-based tea party organization, went into free fall.
Richard K. Armey, the group’s chairman and a former House majority leader, walked into the group’s Capitol Hill offices with his wife, Susan, and an aide holstering a handgun at his waist. The aim was to seize control of the group and expel Armey’s enemies: The gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey suspended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.

Georgia — “I still can’t get over Django. Three hours. The n word was used at least a thousand times in that movie. Literally every other word.”
Mrs. JHM kinda wants to see Django, but I just plain don’t care for Tarantino’s films. I’ve *tried* to sit through them — really, I have — but I think they’re just unoriginal ripoff suckfests. Frankly, I don’t think Tarantino has an original idea in his head and I think that everything he puts on film — and I do mean EVERYTHING — is something he saw, read about or heard someplace else and figured ‘dude, that sounds so cool, I’m just going to have to put it in my next movie.’ Then he does exactly that, shoehorning it in there whether it fits or not.
From my perspective, it’s like Quentin Tarantino used to be the student body of a film school, then after a bomb blew everything and everybody in the school all to hell, a surgeon stitched together all the body parts he could find, substituting pages from textbooks and little bitty film clips for skin and bones when no parts that fit could be found. What the surgeon ended up with was Quentin Tarantino.
And SOMEHOW, that man keeps conning Hollywood movers and shakers into paying for him to substitute filmmaking for psychoanalysis.
That’s how I see it, anyway.

Paul — “I suppose that’s true of a number of WWII movies. I will add I don’t much care for realistic violence. Just don’t care to watch it. But the acting in that particular Tarantino movie was exceptional.”
My wife and I were discussing the topic of WWII on film a while back, and she commented that while she didn’t usually like war films, she enjoyed the Band of Brothers miniseries FAR more than she enjoyed The Pacific despite the fact that they were both made by the same production house (Tom Hanks’ Playtone).
I had read BoB when it was first published, and I was somewhat familiar with the life stories of the three Marines who were focused on in The Pacific (Eugene Sledge, Robert Leckie and John Basilone), but I had to agree with her. BoB was just plain *more engaging* than The Pacific. And both had plenty of violence, but my wife actually *paid attention to* and asked questions about some of the firefights (specifically the Brecourt Manor assault and Captain Speirs’ notable run between the lines in Holland).
I think it’s because the characters in BoB just plain connected better with the audience — even though I knew the story and knew what was going to happen, I *cared* more about the 505th than I did the three Marines in The Pacific.
Did you see both miniseries? If so, what did you think?

Over the years, I’ve had people from many different denominations tell me they KNOW they’re right and are going to heaven. I’ve had Catholics tell me they’re right and are the only ones going to heaven.
It makes no logical sense whatsover to believe a “God of love” would expect us fallible humans to somehow be able to unerringly know which religious belief is the “right” one.

C. Sharpe — “I was struck with the attitudes of the actors in their roles, especially with the Army humor, prevalent in combat units.”
I have never seen that film, and now I’m going to hunt up a copy of it. Thank you very much for that!
And to return the favor, here’s a rarely-seen film that could fairly be called the forerunner of MASH:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Circus_(film)
“JHM, I was wondering if part of the difference in the movies to your wife was because of the Japanese enemy versus the German one? As in race and culture…”
I kinda doubt it; my wife’s (very) extended family contains a lot of fine Kansas farmers of German descent, so she’s certainly got some cultural familiarity there. Plus, when she was a kid, one of her family’s friends (who often babysat her and her brother) was a Hiroshima survivor who actually immigrated to the US. Since I find that part of WWII history fascinating (the rush by several nations to develop the A-bomb), I’ve grilled her relentlessly about that figure from her past.
As I said, I was fairly familiar with the story of The Pacific, having served in Hawaii myself and having read a lot of history of WWII in the theater, and since I had already read BoB when it came out, I figured I would enjoy The Pacific just as much. I suppose the fact that the three main characters in The Pacificweren’t connected (they all served in the 1st Marine Division in the Pacific, but in different regiments and I don’t think they knew each other) makes a lot of the difference. I think you’re totally on target about the human dimension and the bonding among the soldiers being a key part of what draws the audience in so effectively.
FWIW, I thought that Basilone’s death in the miniseries, despite being overdramatized and played up via slo-mo, was (IMO) MUCH less dramatic and impactful than the Bastogne scenes in BoB where Toye and Guarnere both lose their legs or in which George Luz sees Muck and Penkala evaporate due to a direct artillery strike on their foxhole.

My father was army in WWII and experienced “The Bulge”, first hand with Patton. If I had been alive then, I probably would have been navy, hopefully on a Fletcher, guarding the Carriers…But it would have been terrifying to be on the picket line at Okinawa during “Kamikaze season”…That suicide concept would have scared the hell out of me. That’s why I asked what I did about your wife. They were two totally different wars, both terrifying, but the pacific was brutal beyond imagination. No quarter asked, and none given.

I understand that a lot of the uproar over Django has to do with the (perceived?) overuse of the N-word. I recognize that the casual use of that word would certainly be appropriate to the milieu of the time and the film, and I understand that some of the actors in the film had a very hard time delivering that word over and over again.
That said, I recently caught the early portion of Roots on the tube, which certainly uses that N-word quite a bit. And I don’t recall — did that cause an uproar at the time? Were viewers (and the actors in the miniseries) likewise troubled by it?

JHM – My recollections of the Roots controversy was that the use of the N word was not as controversial as the overall subject. If there was controversy over the word then, I don’t recall it. But then I lived (at that time) in an area of the country where use of the word was common among white folk when persons of darker persuasions were not present and when they were it was common to try to claim that “N-words came in all colors” or some such absurdity.
And speaking of controversial directors, I cannot fathom why Penny Marshall is ignored. That dang “there’s no crying in baseball” line is just haunting.

indigo — are you obsessed with race and racial matters? My comment didn’t mention race — nor does it explicitly imply RACIAL overtones. Perhaps I should’ve given better examples of police brutality — however i was just trying to give you a few “well known” (in the national news) examples of police brutality.
These were the ones more nationally known, I never said nor did I suggest that police brutality is sustained to one race or group of people — meaning not all are men and not all are white men, (and let me repeat that nor did i suggest that police brutality is sustained to one race or group of people — meaning not all are men and not all are white men).
A good example is the police brutality case of a returning Mexican American servicemember, who served in Iraq/Afghanistan and who was an MP while stationed overseas, and a BLACK police officer.
Now, if you DO see everything as a black vs. white situation; that would explain a LOT of your posts on this blog. If you don’t and just wish for me to clarify my comments then please except my apologies.

To answer your question, NO, as far as I know they didn’t have a problem with the use of the word.
For one, it was historical in its context, and for another, they were probably just happy to be working on a major project and didn’t want to cause too many waves.

Those terms go in and out of fashion, dependent on the temperament of the time. When I was a young buck, “queer” was fighting words. Today it is increasingly becoming the en vogue/pc term. I just got through reading “Men Like That,” a serious academic study of gay life in Mississippi in the mid 2Oth Century. The author consistently uses the term “queer” in both his work and in his self identification. Who knows where a particular word out of fashion now will be in another generation or two?

Sorry, DDR, I know that you’d like to believe that Jesus actually existed, but you can’t use the musings of other cults (Islam, Judaism) to substantiate the assertions of another one (Christianity). Ancient cults readily shared and borrowed myths from one another, which is how the idea of Jesus first came into being. So because Jesus appears in other religious texts does not provide evidence of his existence.
You should also consider your sources. Wikipedia is pretty a low bar, and if you look at the quotes from your source that seem to insist on Jesus’ existence, those sources are very weak. They are from theologians who are invested (literally and figuratively) in having people believe that he existed. They have made it their lives’ work to treat fables as reality and have made their names and fortunes from convincing others to accept fiction as historical fact. Of course they would insist that Jesus existed. That does not mean he did.
As to your assertion that all religions are built on love, that is a nice politically correct position, but it does not correspond with reality. I don’t think any religion that calls for the systematic murder of people can be considered a religion of love (whether the killing is for working on Sunday, not believing in a particular god, sex out of wedlock or with someone of the same sex, etc.). Not to mention abhorrent views on slavery the treatment of women, etc. So Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are most certainly not religions of love.
Many of the people who follow those religions may legitimately be good people (and many may not be), but they are not good people simply because they are followers of specific cult, one that you insist is rooted in love but whose main text would suggest otherwise.

What I mostly remember about Roots was that it was the first American made-for-commercial-TV miniseries to handle as remotely contentious a topic as American slavery, and most who watched it were somewhat dumbstruck by its relative novelty.
I’m sure the press were mostly positive that the network had stuck its neck out–when you think about it, this was a risky proposition. Alienate a lot of viewers and you have some very unhappy advertisers, and a lot of sunk costs in a production that won’t make money if it’s re-run later.
In this context, I don’t recall its scripted use of “n—-r” sticking out like a sore thumb at all.

Progress: ou should also consider your sources. Wikipedia is pretty a low bar, and if you look at the quotes from your source that seem to insist on Jesus’ existence, those sources are very weak.
Granted Wikipedia is not the epitome of “totally accurate” however, whenever i pull something from Wikipedia i ALWAYS look at their source data, (which is listed at the bottom), of where they’re getting their information from.
If the majority of their information is received from inaccurate or slanted sources, (like MAD Magazine or the KKK blog or something), then I won’t use them as a reference. You can always check to see what is posted as truth.
Another reason I like to use Wikipedia is that they have a lot of information crammed into a “KISS” format. I could pull up various websites that deal with the historical data; or I can direct you to one website that has all of it in one.
Progress: As to your assertion that all religions are built on love, that is a nice politically correct position, but it does not correspond with reality.

Not to mention abhorrent views on slavery the treatment of women, etc. So Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are most certainly not religions of love.
You have to take into consideration the times in which these writings /religious texts took place and judge them on that.
Killing infidels, (except I think for Buddhism), is common theme among religious texts — but they also give information on LOVING your neighbors and how to treat your slaves with regard and how to treat your neighbors/wives/etc.
Progress: Many of the people who follow those religions may legitimately be good people (and many may not be), but they are not good people simply because they are followers of specific cult, one that you insist is rooted in love but whose main text would suggest otherwise.
I disagree. I feel that because they believe in a higher power, (or a religion if you will) whatever that power may be, AND choose to practice their belief in the purity from which it springs that they have found a peace and a love that some will never possess. Perhaps its just a panacea or an opiate to soothe them, perhaps it isn’t — whatever it is,it boils down to faith.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder when Nielsen and Arbitron started tracking viewer habits by race, rather than just by age and gender? If African-American viewers weren’t explicitly broken out in the demographics, then it might not even be apparent that viewers were alienated at all. It’s entirely possible that whatever reaction the black community (as a whole) had might have been lost in the data if the raters weren’t tracking by race.

There are certainly a few (not all by any means) Christians on this blog who love to cram their beliefs down other blogger’s throats. I have no problem saying that because I have read it in various forms more times than I can or care to count and at times have said my peace regarding those posts and bloggers.
With that said, outside of someone attempting to cram their beliefs down your throat, does it matter if someone believes that Jesus was a real man or is a “symbol”?
To me it makes no difference at all in how I chose to live my life and what I believe or do not believe.

When I was in grad school, we spent a good bit of time discussing Nielsens’ methodology (it has quite a few flaws), and the books were a contentious topic. Some felt that it was too easy for survey families to fudge the data and write down what they thought they ’should’ have been watching, not what they actually *did* watch. The professor also contended that Neilsen had historically had problems with minority sampling, and that they paid survey families more if they were minorities.
IIRC, Nielsen *already* knows your ethnicity, at least in broad terms(e.g. black, white, asian, hispanic), before you’re picked to participate.

TBS,
Ironically, growing up in a Christian fundamentalist household, we didn’t celebrate Christmas specifically because it is a Pagan holiday unrelated to Christianity, and now as an atheist adult I do celebrate Christmas with my family in a manner that is unrelated to Christianity and more in the historically correct Pagan tradition.
How people view Jesus is relevant for a number of reasons. Religious belief is cult indoctrination pure and simple and requires people to believe in falsehoods in the absence of evidence. This is harmful to society at large, particularly when the religious teachings are a very poor ethical model, as I believe Christianity, Islam, and Judaism to be. Belief in these myths hamper human progress in such essential fields as science and medicine and inject an irrational and destructive aspect to politics and government.
Again, not all believers are bad people, and most are likely good people at heart, but holding onto ancient myths and trying to live by an immoral code written by Bronze Age sheep herders is not conducive to human progress.

“now as an atheist adult I do celebrate Christmas with my family in a manner that is unrelated to Christianity and more in the historically correct Pagan tradition”
but then you aren’t celebrating Christmas, because Pagans did not honor Jesus. You celebrate at the same time, but not the same thing.

I feel like maybe I ought to defend Seinfeld, even though I didn’t start watching until after the first season, and then only somewhat intermittently.
(But by my tv viewing standards, that makes me a huge fan, simply because I’ve found it very difficult to commit to any scripted shows for several decades now. Not sure why that is, probably because I’m so jaded with the commercial tv offerings that everything seems been there/done that to me.)
Seinfeld was funny because it pushed its meta to beyond meta. You couldn’t get more self referential than a comedy about a comedian than Seinfeld was, without having cast members directly addressing the audience–but they always kept the fourth wall up.
were the characters unlikeable? of course! that was the freaking point! that’s why in the series finale, they are all imprisoned (and threatened with death by fellow inmates) — it was the show’s way of saying “happy now? no? GFY.”
you take all that, add kind of a minstrel-show aspect to it (I’m talking about the stereotypical portrayal of self-absorbed NYC urbanites, which the rest of the nation probably enjoyed feeling morally superior to), and a supportive network and some very hard-driven creative types behind it, and it’s not real surprising it did so well.

ok you got me there on the phraseology–”first in line” at the trough didn’t seem right, and “front row” doesn’t work either. Maybe I should’ve gone with “feeding trough privileges.”
but seriously, I kinda assume that Seinfeld, David, Louis-Dryfuss and the others sharing in that fortune are rather liberal, politically. Don’t claim to know, though.

With HER track record; she should ask about if he had a job first. If she was in a room, with 60K smart, straight, attractive, intelligent, employed men, and one scumbag looser, she’d pick the scumbag looser every time. AND pay for all his drinks.
If he’s not at least 5′9″ she will not be able to see more than the top of his head.
She’s short. Used to want to be a ballerina when she was younger BUT wasn’t dedicated to starving herself.

Customer Review
1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than I imagined….poor Dave Attell…an embarrassment to all concerned…, August 4, 2008
By
Grigory’s Girl “GR”
This review is from: The Gong Show With Dave Attell Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Out of morbid curiosity, I watched this, and it was as painful as I
thought it was going to be. I liked Dave Attell’s Insomniac Theater in
small doses, and I hoped this would be at least as good as that, but it
wasn’t.
It’s depressing, boring, tedious, and deeply embarrassing. Atell
himself seems deeply distressed and embarrassed (similar to Louie
Anderson and his horrible stint on Family Feud) to be hosting such a
mediocre show. The celebrity judges seem to feel the same way as well.
You actually feel sorry for them trying (in vain) to make this show
worth watching. While it has better production values than the original
Gong Show, it’s actually worse than the original, because the original
Gong Show had terrible production values and was cheesy as anything on
TV before or since, but Chuck Barris (the original host) kind of knew
that. That quality is what has endeared it to many (even though I was never a huge fan of the original).
I doubt this will last more than one season.

You don’t know the half of it. Imagine a talent show where instead of catty Simon and wackadoodle Paula Abdul, you’ve got barely-there comic Andy Dick, renowned smack addict and guitarist Dave Navarro and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog judging the acts, and Dave Attell allegedly in control of it all.
Some of the acts look like the kind of things you could possibly hire people to do in Las Vegas — as long as the cops don’t find out about it. I recall one act (that I will not detail here for fear of being banned) where the young lady performer was IMMEDIATELY propositioned by Dave Navarro after she finished (e.g. “I’m serious. Call me. TONIGHT.”)
Mrs. JHM and I watched this show absolutely AGOG that Comedy Central was letting Attell get away with what was happening.

Most of our budgetary and moral problems in this nation are due to this.
“America is awash in poverty, crime, drugs and other problems, but more than perhaps anything else, it all comes down to this, said Vincent DiCaro, vice president of the National Fatherhood Initiative: Deal with absent fathers, and the rest follows.”
“The spiral continues each year. Married couples with children have an average income of $80,000, compared with $24,000 for single mothers.”
Most poverty is completely wiped out when people are married and stayed married when they have children.

US Birth Rate Hits New Record Low, A Nation of Singles, Implications for the Future
The US birth rate fell to a record low in 2011. The marriage rate is tumbling as well. And the number of single Americans is now at a record high.
[T]he US birth rate has fallen below the level needed to keep our population steady, much less growing. This pattern is likely to continue lower, especially as immigrants adopt US cultural norms of fewer children and smaller families. This will have growing implications for the economy[.]
What does this group look like? Geographically, they tend to live in cities. As urban density increases, marriage rates (and childbearing rates) fall in nearly a straight line. Politicos James Carville and Stanley Greenberg put together some very interesting data on singles. Of the 111 million single eligible voters, 53 million are women and 58 million are men. Only 5.7 million of these women are Hispanic and 9.7 million are African American. Nearly three-quarters of all single women are white.
This is a great article if you have a few minutes. (The article follows the introduction.)

Well there it seems the simple answer is to make sure that when someone marries, they can never get divorced. Problem solved.
Cause we all know that single women popping out babies is the problem (unless those babies have guns at the time of birth).
But remember, we can’t give them birth control and we can’t have any morning after pills available OTC, and we have to force them to have babies to live in poverty. Which Republican is going to be teaching that abstinence class? Newt?

Eleven years after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America; in an unusual spirit of cooperation between the two American nations, a joint task force comprised of elements of the 9th Confederate States Cavalry and the United States 7th Cavalry has invaded the northern plains, the home of the ferocious Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians; in a combined military campaign to end the western Indian Wars once and for all. The co-commanders of the united military effort are Major General Joseph Wheeler, C.S.A. and Colonel George Armstrong Custer, U.S.A.

The artillery fire coupled with the excellent repeating rifles of the Confederate cavalry troopers wreaked havoc on the advancing Indian horde and scattered the survivors up and down the narrow valley.

I’m going to start my countdown to the 2012 Top Ten Republican Punks Of All Time!
Here’s Number 10:
Mitt Romney Gets Punked By The 47%ers:
The defeated GOP candidate famously disparaged Obama as the candidate of the 47 percent. Now, liberals gleefully view Mitt’s final tally as poetic justice
Liberal schadenfreude is about to reach overdose levels. Just when you thought the dead horse of Mitt Romney’s campaign had been beaten more than enough — and most savagely by members of his own party — Dave Wasserman at Cook Political Report projects that the final count of the popular vote, which is still ongoing, will show Romney winning 47 percent of the electorate. In addition to proving that Obama handily won the popular vote, the final tally makes Romney the official candidate of the 47 percent — a delicious irony, liberals say, given that Romney infamously claimed that Obama was the candidate of the 47 percent of Americans who “believe they are victims” and are “dependent on government.”
By all accounts, Romney’s “47 percent” remarks constituted one of the greatest self-inflicted wounds from a candidate who had no shortage of them.

Number 9:
Republicans, the party of responsibility, is NOT responsible for loosing 2x to a Socialist, Kenyan, Marxist:
nobody likes to be at fault. So after losing the White House to a supposedly socialist, secret Muslim for the second time in four years, the Grand Old Party started its latest finger-pointing campaign: assigning others the blame for losing the presidential election. Here are their top six culprits:
Chris Christie Did It
It’s Sandy’s Fault
Rove: Obama Suppressed Voters
O’Reilly: Loss of ‘Traditional America
The Lone Black Panther
Obama Mural
In reality, the Republican Party didn’t lose the election because of Sandy, or Christie, or a mural. It lost because 71 percent of Latinos, 93 percent of black people, 73 percent of Asian Americans, and 55 percent of women voted against it. The party did not embrace policies that appeal to these demographic groups—and lost. And that’s the GOP’s fault.

Republicans Becoming More UnHinged By The Day
Republicans not handling election results well
PPP’s first post election national poll finds that Republicans are taking the results pretty hard…and also declining in numbers.
49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore.
Some GOP voters are so unhappy with the outcome that they no longer care to be a part of the United States. 25% of Republicans say they would like their state to secede from the union compared to 56% who want to stay and 19% who aren’t sure.
One reason that such a high percentage of Republicans are holding what could be seen as extreme views is that their numbers are declining.

at this point, it never seemed possible that one day the capital of pagan Rome will become the head of the church.
During the next 3 centuries, Christians were martyred and persecuted in the Empire their blood a testimony to God. Hence the Catholic Church was founded also on the blood of martyrs.
Whoop de do. That’s no miracle; that’s just retail-level politics.
Romney winning 47% of the popular vote? Now THAT’s a sign, as the song goes, “there must be a God somewhere.”

But Ms. O’Sullivan again took umbrage. As everyone went silent, she recalled a conference she attended in Australia in which a liberal nun (who “didn’t even have the decency to wear a habit”) criticized America for its “inner-city racism.” Offended, Ms. O’Sullivan recounted what she wished she’d said to this nun:
“Pardon me, madam, but I have been in your country of Australia for ten days and the only Aborigines I’ve seen have been drunk on the street, and at least if we were in my country they would be serving the drinks at this conference!”

It would take 500 examples to equal only one ULTIMATE punk.
What the Neo-Con progressives did to the democrat party.
(perpetual war, torture, drone murder, etc……………………………).
.
lol
.
For decent people……..Obama has done to the Democrat party what George W did to the Republican.
..
To understand Progressives, we have to understand that they are True Believers in the power of the State to make all of society whole simply by passing and administrating laws that are created “in the public interest.” This religious belief is non-negotiable. E.J. Dionne believes ultimately that the State is God. So does Jim Wallis, and both men believe that Barack Obama is the very epitome of the Holy State and that Obama “is going to save us.”
For all of the talk from the Progressive Left that their God is science and that religion is unscientific, in reality, their beliefs ultimately are religious. Like the former Soviets who had billboards exclaiming, “Lenin is more alive than the living!”, Progressive leftists truly believe that the State can reorder the entire world into a happy, productive, prosperous and peaceful condition, provided that government have enough coercive powers, including the power to kill dissenters. This is their religion and anyone who contradicts it is speaking damnable heresy.

Obama never had any intention of avoiding the cliff. The next day he’ll propose all these wonderful tax cuts and fly back to Hawaii looking like a hero to his minions who aren’t paying attention to the man behind the curtain.

Deficits?
Which brings us to the economic level. The deficits that Bush ran up in the years in which the country was teetering on the verge of a serious recession had the beneficial effect of righting the economy. In that sense, deficits not only didn’t matter, but were a force for economic good.

Interesting take on gun issue. I agree, no knee jerk reaction or any other by DC will eliminate the miniscule risk of re-occurrences of Newtown travesty. Unfortunately, I feel that the variables and infintesimal odds are too vague or not avoidable that even putting armed guards in all schools will not prevent such…see Columbine..

And the link between “inner city racism” and aborigines is? Wonder how long before we have a comment from josef. 
but you left out the best part: Ms. O’Sullivan then warned against watering down the purity of the conservative agenda to placate minorities or, as she put it, rather succinctly, “the [bah]-astardization of the product.” [Tweaked to get it by the bluenose--unless mentioning josef puts you automatically in moderation]

I can always count on you for flawed logic..even insulting your core beliefs and offending all the other blind red sheep.
So instead of reading the article, you pull the Bush card and suggest that since deficits were ok for Bush, it’s ok for your guy…comparing your guy to Bush in the positive…
Check out the full article..seems the CBO has much more to say about the levels of pure BS he spews relative to how taxing the rich is a cure all…he is intentionally missing the boat.

Number 7:
Birthers Get Punked — Again and again and again and…….
First it was the various states, Georgia included, who were toying with the fact of eliminating Obama’s name off the ballot until he could “prove to their satisfaction” that he was a US citizen. Small Punk…
THEN it was the Donald Trump’s, “Men on the ground in Hawaii vigilantly searching for Obama’s birth certificate. Medium Size Punk
AFTERWARDS it was the Arizona Sheriff who said he was going to do an independent investigation on Obama’s eligibility to become President vis a vis his citizenship status. Pretty Big Punk.
LASTLY we have “Birtherism On STEROIDS” Hugely GIGANTIC Punk!
There are the birthers who don’t believe the president was born in the United States. And then there are birthers who think that maybe the president’s father was actually Frank Marshall Davis, the labor activist.
The theory, which departs from that of the more traditional “Obama-is-a-Kenyan” birthers, goes something like this: Obama’s grandfather was an undercover CIA agent who convinced Barack Obama Sr. to marry Obama’s mother to cover up the fact that she was pregnant with then-55-year-old Davis’ baby.
Yesterday, the chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, Bill Armistead, reportedly dipped his toe into the latter category, telling a Republican women’s group that a film that purveys that theory is “absolutely terrifying.” The report came from Mobile Press-Register political editor George Talbot, who attended the event.
Joel Gilbert, the director of the film, called “Dreams From My Real Father,” describes it thusly:
“Admittedly, at age 18, Obama arrived at Occidental College a committed revolutionary Marxist. ‘Dreams from My Real Father’ presents the case that Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA organizer and propagandist, was Obama’s real father, both biological and ideological, and indoctrinated Obama with a political foundation in Marxism and an anti-White world view.”
Armistead and the Alabama GOP didn’t immediately return our request for comment, but we’ll update if they do.
=======================================
However, if Frank WAS Obama’s father then the “Obama Not A Real Citizen Birther Theory” is shot out of the water; BUT since republicans minds are so feeble and can’t think that far in advance; I’ll just call this one ….

History will surely record that one of the most moronic collective questions ever posed is “Why do they hate us?” – where the “they” are: “those we continuously bomb and kill and whose dictators we prop up.” Noting the two US drone attacks on December 24 in his country, the 23-year-old Yemeni writer Ibrahim Mothana asked: “Two US drone strikes in Yemen today. Should we consider them a Christmas gift?!” That’s exactly what al-Qaida undoubtedly considers them to be.

Secular Humanist just do not understand the definition of Religion. Let us for a minute take out the 1 st definition of the belief in a super natural being and study the other meanings of Religion:
2: a personal set or institutionalized system of attitudes, beliefs, and practices
3: archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
Now come back and explain how Secular Humanism does not fit into these definitions?

I don’t care if you’re scared or not. All I care about is the ignorant and dishonest bullspit you’re spreading about me and other atheists.
“LMFAO. Remember I am one of those “right wing gun nuts”.
You really *are* clueless and don’t know the first thing about me. (laughing, pointing)
I spent over 20 years of my adult life supporting the GOP, and a dozen years volunteering for them. I’m a disabled Army veteran AND a gun owner. Whereas YOU are an ignorant and uninformed nitwit making random guesses about me, what I think and what I believe.
Well, here’s a clue for you, td. It’s people like you that made me realize that the GOP wasn’t where I needed to be. It’s close-minded, ignorant and presumptuous boneheads like you — who think they know everything about everybody — that made me come to the realization that i could do better.
“The tenants and beliefs of your religion are giving you away with every sentence.”
I don’t have a religion, and you’re too full of yourself to realize that you’re ignorant about me and that you should ask questions, not make statements.
“You are just in denial.”
I know who and what I am. You do *not* know who and what I am.
I do like how I’m driving you to sin, though. Surely a nice, prewarmed seat awaits your clueless behind in your religion’s hell.

Here is some help for both td and Thomas, who seem to have a misunderstanding of a very common term in the English language- religion. Religion involves the belief in a supernatural or mystical being (i.e. god) sans empirical evidence. That supernatural being (or beings) is most commonly invisible to us, yet omnipotent and omniscient. He/she/it has had a personal hand in creating the universe, and by extension the earth and all living creatures, by some unexplained mechanism and unexplained power, most accurately described as powers of mental telepathy. The supernatural being has a hand in the outcome of human life and controls natural occurrences. Almost universally, this supernatural being is related to a life-after-death scenario for humans via some means such as a spirit, soul, or faith (more constructs that lack any evidence).
Atheists and secular humanists do not believe any of these things. Science by definition is not supernatural and atheists by definition are not religious.

So, you’re a Faulkner fan, eh? What you wanna know about who in his work? My first view of this big old wonderful world was from Frenchman’s Bend in Yoknapatawpha and I sat at his knee in the ginyard. Granny hated him with a morbid passion. Told Granddaddy to keep me away from “that lying old drunk.” Her father had served under his grandfather in the Wah-uh, “and they were nothin’ at all like that!”
“As I Lay Dying?” Mama, who could recite long passages of the master and who considered “The Reivers” the finest work of modern English literature, despised that book with a passion equaling Granny’s. There’s a good reason for that, too.
Me? If you understand Gavin Stevens’ comments to The Boy on the way to dig up the grave in Chapter 7 of “Intruder in the Dust,” you’ll understand my brand of Southernism.

Josef: DDR – So, you’re a Faulkner fan, eh? What you wanna know about who in his work? My first view of this big old wonderful world was from Frenchman’s Bend in Yoknapatawpha and I sat at his knee in the ginyard. Granny hated him with a morbid passion. Told Granddaddy to keep me away from “that lying old drunk.” Her father had served under his grandfather in the Wah-uh, “and they were nothin’ at all like that!”
Ha! Funny! From what I’ve read from history, his grandfather was almost a SAINT in his family! From his writings though, it seems that Falkner wasn’t that much impressed with him.
“As I Lay Dying?” Mama, who could recite long passages of the master and who considered “The Reivers” the finest work of modern English literature, despised that book with a passion equaling Granny’s. There’s a good reason for that, too.
Which is? It’s one of his greatest works!!! I mean the dragging the body around the south in the abysmal summer heat, is kinda out there; but why did they hate it? What’s the reason? (enquiring minds and all!)
Me? If you understand Gavin Stevens’ comments to The Boy on the way to dig up the grave in Chapter 7 of “Intruder in the Dust,” you’ll understand my brand of Southernism.
You’ve got me there! NEVAH read that one – (Although I have read “Go Down Moses”), it’s on my list though for when I take a vacation, IF I even get a chance to take one in 2013! All these tax cheats out there who need bailing out has been keeping me pretty busy.

It was mighty nice of God- um, I mean Obama, to “step down” and lower himself into the office of the presidency. For he’s a jolly good fellow for doing so.
Host of ABC’s “Nightline” Terry Moran says Obama, like George Washington, took a “step down” when he became President:
MORAN: In some ways Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office. From visionary leader of a giant movement, now he’s got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.

Faulkner…
As for his grandfather, quite the fellow, he, if you could take Granny’s word for it. And she would be proud to see you “spelled the name right (Falkner!) I’m not particularly a student or devotee to Civil War military history, but the 2nd Mississippi Infantry to which Faulkner’s grandpa, later Governor Stone (whoo, whee the stories I have from him and his dealings with Great Granny!) and my own great grandfather were attached was known for its ferocity on the field of battle and its loyalty to the Lost Cause post War…
“As I Lay Dying…”
Faulkner wove various tales from local lore into his novels. The story as it opens has the woman looking from her death bed as her husband built her coffin. Faulkner uses this as his introduction to the bizarre tale of carting the body about the countryside. My mother’s animosity was that the story of the coffin and the story of the shlepping of the corpse were from two different sources. The opening was that of Miss Vinnie Stroup, a neighbor and friend of my mother’s whose desire was that she be buried in the coffin built by her husband. When she died, my mother was the one who in the “laying out” combed out Miss Vinnie’s hair, her pride. Mama, and the others in the area, had seen the building of the coffin and the placing of Miss Vinnie’s bed so that she could watch as something “sacred and holy.” Now, that lot that went carting the body around? They were not so highly respected and their actions not considered quite so “holy and sacred.” That Faulkner would weave the two together was, to Mama and Granny, an act of socio-cultural heresy!
As for “Intruder in the Dust,” that quote that sparked this is from it and taken, as is often the case, completely out of context. Personally, I think you will find it most intriguing from the race-relations aspect in time and place. And, yes, it is pretty much a true story and one of those that Faulkner stuck to the real story on.
Ralph Ellison…
He is one of the few of Faulkner’s contemporaries who actually understood what it was that Faulkner was doing. Faulkner was not so much concerned with “the South” per se as he was with the human condition. As he said, his own “little postage stamp of earth” was only the backdrop against which it played out, the place he “knew first hand.”
And “The Reivers?”
Faulkner said of it that he had spent his entire career to be able to tell that story! Even Granny had to admit that Grandpa Faulkner came across there with the proper respect…
And for my money, about one of the best film adaptations ever done! Steve McQueen at his finest…amazing his understanding of that role…

FYI
The “Liberals” here are not the ones on this blog referring to Obama as “messiah”. The only time the Liberals here even use that term in the same sentence as Obama’s name is to question why the Conservatives, most often the self-professed Christians here, refer to him in that manner. Why not post under your regular name and challenge me that way as opposed to creating sock puppets to do your work for you? That’s what a real man/woman would do.

Debbie, “RB, just asking mind you, but what type of job do you think a Vet can get if he was in the military as a nuclear submarine munitions clerk? ”
I’d say anything in distribution or logistics would be good. It’s doubtful a “clerk” would ever be involved in the actual handling of nuclear materials and is more likely involved in the storage, security, and maintenance of the weapons. You obviously don’t know the difference in matching someone’s experience to the job and matching someone’s skill set. As an example, putting a person who lacks detail orientation in a detail oriented job is sure to fail regardless of how many years they’ve tried to do the job. But don’t fret, Debbie, most people who’ve never hired a person understand the difference, so you go back to your liberal fantasy land and keep demanding other people pay for all the crap you think is worthy.

Reminds me. I really wish Team Obama would simply mint a few platinum trillion dollar coins and tell the Speaker to eff off.
the Treasury is allowed to unilaterally mint platinum coins. It could create a $1 trillion coin, and deposit it at its account at The Federal Reserve.
It sounds completely crazy, but … it’s even crazier to think that the U.S. would default arbitrarily just because of a dumb law.
So if the choice is between default and a trillion dollar platinum coin, we endorse the coin all the way.
So yeah, I realize it’d be crossing the Rubicon, but sheesh, didn’t the Speaker and his crew already go wading there by upping the stakes on the debt ceiling last year, anyway?

One year after Obama was elected, I was selling cars. There was a big tent sale with a gigantic tent where all the region’s salesman were assembled for an event. Suddenly a limosine pulled up and a man wearing an Obama mask emerged carrying a briefcase stuffed with five and ten dollar bills, (mostly ones, though). He immediately began to throw fistfulls of cash up in the air as he moved through the throng of salesmen. At least 80 salesmen began scrambling on the ground like a game of Twister grabbing up the waves of falling bills. The chaos lasted at least five minutes. This one fin landed on my beer gut and before I could get it someone snatched it right off me. (true). Now the Obama mask did have a simian tinge to it so the political attitude was blatantly obvious: Obama is a socialist monkey. I managed to get $79. Most got thirty to fifty. Some got $150. Then Obama got back in the limo and disappeared. I gave away most of the $79 to a single mom who worked part time there as a customer spotter and house snitch (lotdropping, stacking, skating, and smoking). I felt humiliated and abused after it was all over. The owner (100 dealerships!) must have had a good laugh. I sold 23 cars that month and made eight thousand dollars ($5K after taxes) and won a free steak dinner. I guess it is kinda funny. But you stay humble in the car biz.

Doom — “There goes Joe Mama with his mind reading FAIL yet again. It doesn’t bother me in the least.”
Sorry, son. You already admitted this past summer that you hate it. Mindreading fail or just more Doom Dishonesty? I think we both know the answer to that.
“I hope you keep doing it.”
Good.
“Why? Because it just shows your immaturity and everyone can see it. I mean come on. The (pointing. laughing) stuff is 6th grade material.”
Well, you’d certainly be the go-to guy for identifying 6th-grade material here, Doom.
“And btw when you start off referring to other posters as “son” in an attempt to be degrading its just a tacit admission that you’re already angry.”
Stop calling people “missy,” then, hypocrite. (giggling)

True dat. But you need not be trailer trash to be made fun of for being named after a city. Plenty of comedians have mocked Paris Hilton or that girl from american idol New York for being named after a city. The usual line is something about what kind of a parent names their kid after a city. Incidentally there was a porn star named Savannah that had a sad ending. Poor girl ended up committing suicide.

ERma is one of my faves too! One of her quotes that i try to live by is:
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.
I look at that quote 2 ways:
(a) Don’t let anyone stop you from your destiny and
(b) Use it or loose it!
If Erma would’ve listened to her naysayers back when she was first starting out, then we’d never know who she was or her greatness.
And even though she died of cancer later in life, she LIVED — she took what she had and she LIVED!
Another great quote:
My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I pass out!
man she was some lady!

Allright – back to my list of the Top 10 2012 BEST Republicans Punks!
No. 6:
Florida Republicans Got Punked By The voters even though they tried to suppress the vote!
Floridians endured election chaos and marathon voting lines this year, largely thanks to reduced early voting hours, voter purges, and voter registration restrictions pushed by Republican legislators. In an exclusive report by the Palm Beach Post, several prominent Florida Republicans are now admitting that these election law changes were geared toward suppressing minority and Democratic votes.
Former governor Charlie Crist (R-FL) and former GOP chairman Jim Greer (R-FL), as well as several current GOP members, told the Post that Republican consultants pushed the new measures as a way to suppress Democratic voters. Crist expanded early voting hours in 2008 despite party pressure, but Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) targeted early voting almost immediately when he took office in 2011. Scott’s administration claimed the new laws were meant to curb in-person voter fraud, despite the fact that an individual in Florida is more likely to be struck by lightning than commit voter fraud.
Current party members and consultants confirmed the motive was not to stop voter fraud but to make it harder for Democrats and minorities to vote.

The move, which has seen thousands of retired Germans rehoused in homes in eastern Europe and Asia, has been severely criticised by social welfare organisations who have called it “inhumane deportation”.”

A clear victor has emerged in the Republican war on women. Women.
With women breaking strongly for President Barack Obama and a banner year for women candidates, one thing is clear: the 2012 election is a mandate for women’s equality and reproductive rights.
Let’s first take a look at the presidential vote. In a year when women’s issues were hotly debated and Democrats touted their pro-women principles, women favored Obama by 11 points. The president also benefited from an 11-point gender gap and women’s higher turnout.
Women’s rights likewise played a starring role in one of last night’s unanticipated headlines. Twenty women, a record number, are likely headed to the US Senate. All but one are pro-choice Democrats who campaigned, as well, as feminists. The story in the US House of Representatives was similar, if not quite as spectacular. These female candidates were lifted to victory by women’s disgust at Republican attacks on women, which was then channeled by women-focused political action committees, such as Emily’s List, Women Vote, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, into successful and well-funded campaigns.

Conned & Confused Punked by GOP On Benghazi! GOP cut Funds to State Department — No Funds? No money for Security!
For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration’s request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 — cutting back on the department’s request by $331 million.
Consulate personnel stationed in Benghazi had allegedly expressed concerns over their safety in the months leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks that killed four Americans, including Amb. Chris Stevens. Chaffetz and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, claim those concerns were ignored.

It appears that you are trying to conflate the action with the events.
The budget cuts had nothing to do with the attacks; the cuts had to do with the amount of security provided by the Ambassador.
As you may not be aware, Benghazi was more than 600 miles from Tripoli and the Ambassador, who had more than 26 years experience in the country as was reportedly beloved by the locals, wanted to expand the influence of the USA in all parts of the country. Benghazi was not even a consulate, but a satellite station the Ambassador put together in hopes of expanding the influence of the government of the USA.

55% of women voted for President Obama, while only 44% voted for Mitt Romney. And they make up 53% of the voters in America.
That is six elections in a row and is a symptom of the GOP’s shoddy record on women’s and children’s rights/protections.
And unless the hard core right wing starts making some better choices (get it?) on some of these matters – and I don’t see that happening – it is going to be a LONG, LONG time before they are again trusted by a majority of the women in this land.

Number 3:
Republicans Got Punked By Science And Math
Bill clinton uses actual math and ratios to counter the republican magic based economic plan. Trickle Down, which hasn’t worked since some bright young republican coined the phrase, has trickled down to nothing.
The Ryan Budget: A Mistake of Historic Proportions). It is premised on the existence of a fantasy world within which entrepreneurs, despite the decline in sales that would follow budget cuts, suddenly increase hiring and investment because they have been able to throw off the shackles of government interference. I don’t know any other way to say it–this is idiotic. A reduction in spending by any sector in the macroeconomy will reduce revenue in the private sector and thus make our predicament even worse. Say, for example, that for some reason we no longer had any need for a military presence anywhere in the world and therefore fired every American soldier, marine, airman, and sailor. Precisely how, Mr. Ryan, is this supposed to be good news for the entrepreneurs who sold groceries, gasoline, housing, clothing, etc., to these individuals? You don’t need a PhD in economics to answer that one–it’s not.
Romney may not be as extreme as Ryan, but he is cut from the same cloth. As he states on his web page, “The only recipe for fiscal health and a thriving private economy is a government that spends within its means.” This is patently false. The only fiscally healthy or responsible policy is one that generates sufficient demand to hire all those willing to work. This does not include cuts to “non-security discretionary spending by 5 percent,” the shifting of federal government programs the private sector or state governments (entities that DO face a hard budget constraint), or, God forbid, a balanced budget amendment. Furthermore and as argued in an earlier post (The Real Job Creators: Consumers), the economy’s job creators are not, as Romney says, entrepreneurs and the wealthy, but the middle class. How can today’s unemployment be a function of overregulation and overtaxation when we are at or near historic lows in each? Rather, the problem, pure and simple, is demand. No amount of cost cutting will induce firms to expand employment in the absence of an increase in sales. Because this fact is lost on the Romney-Ryan ticket, their economic policies would be a disaster.

Her war on the coal industry and those emails of hers under an assumed name were about to make her political poison for her master Obama. She had to go.
Now, moving on to Kathleen Sebilius. She has her own problems and will be gone in 12 months. When the public becomes aware of just what Obamacare has done to the healthcare system in this country all of Obama’s crowd (including those in the Senate and House who helped him pass it) will runaway with their fat pensions and their fat healthcare plans. Just more Obama-rat’s scurrying for cover. Also Holder and Geithner both will soon be gone as well. They have absolutely made fools of themselves as well as their master.

the cat, I have noticed that this is the 2nd (that *I* have seen) that you have called for the ban of a right leaning poster.
Have any left leaning posters said anything *you* think warrented and “ban” or even a rebuke from you?
Maybe the one that stated he wished all “cons/repubs” dead, drowned in a bath tub?
How about the one that likened “cons” to Sandusky, even if some of those same “cons” may have been victims of childhood sexual abuse.
Then there are the calls for “cons” to be assaulted/injured/killed because their views on gun control differs with some on the left.
None of those are ban worthy in your eyes?
The thing that I have always liked about cats is that they are observant. They basically see EVERYTHING.

You got irritated and went right into the sarcastic honey/b!tch/you’re ugly/sex page. That’s not cool, and it’s surely not good evidence there wasn’t something going on in your head. You don’t start talking about JamVet’s sex life when you’re angry with him.
You’re darn right I’m an amateur psychologist in this matter, most women are. We don’t do it for fun, we do it because it’s an almost universal experience to have some guy melt down unexpectedly. It can end very badly.
You may have daughters one day. If their boyfriend speaks to them like that when they argue and they stay with him, you’ll be the reason. Guys who suddenly start using derisive terms and talking about sex when they’re angry at a woman are creepy. If you’re okay being one of those guys, I can’t stop you.
And BTW, I have not and will not complain to Jay for anything you’ve said. But that’s just for the record….If you do get in trouble you’ll blame me as the b!tch who made you do it.

#2 MONEY changes everything……………
Republicans Got Punked When The Man Who Doesn’t Back Down — BACKED DOWN
Rush Limbaugh has “sincerely apologize[d]” for using the words “slut” and “prostitute” to describe Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke on two separate days and claimed that he “did not mean a personal attack” on her.
Rush Limbaugh is STILL hemorrhaging advertisers — several days after calling a Georgetown student a “slut” for asking the University for free birth control … bringing his grand total to NINE lost sponsors.
Two sponsors — Tax Resolution and AOL — pulled their ads from his radio show today, following the mass exodus of advertisers like ProFlowers, LegalZoom and Citrix Systems over the weekend.
As for the other advertisers that have jumped ship — bedding companies Sleep Train and Sleep Number, plus Quicken Loans and the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
Rush made the “slut” comment on the airwaves last week — also calling student Sandra Fluke a “prostitute,” after the Georgetown Law student testified before the House of Representatives on why birth control should be made freely available.
Rush offered a weak apology on Saturday — claiming, “For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.”

Kyle’s got a reputation for suspending or banning posters more readily than Jay does, yet many of Kyle’s posters are themselves banned from Jay’s. – True, but some the left leaning posters over there whose sole purpose is to “flame” are banned here as well.

Big increase in single mothers
“…Though income is the primary predictor, the lack of live-in fathers also is overwhelmingly a black problem, regardless of poverty status, census data show. Among blacks, nearly 5 million children, or 54 percent, live with only their mother. Twelve percent of black families below the poverty line have two parents present, compared with 41 percent of impoverished Hispanic families and 32 percent of poor white families…”

Fox News On Election Night!
Republicans Got Punked When Karl Rove Had a Major Meltdown Cause He Just Lost a Bunch of rich men’s Money and he knows he’s gotta answer to the Koch Godfathers….
(I’ll let the Video do the talking for me…)
Ahh What the heck!
When Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” after Tuesday’s live election night coverage, the only thing left to discuss was the absolute meltdown that occurred at Fox News after President Obama was re-elected.
Even days before the election, no one at Fox seemed to think that Mitt Romney losing was a possibility, and on election night, Karl Rove proved just how in denial he was by refusing to believe that Ohio would go to Obama (after 74% of the votes were in). Later, a stunned Sarah Palin and Bill O’Reilly played a little game Jon Stewart likes to call, “White People Judo.”
Watch the clip above for Stewart’s full “avalanche” coverage, then watch part two below wherein he breaks down who Fox News thinks is really to blame. Could it be the mainstream media? Hurricane Sandy? Minorities and women exercising their right to vote? Or could it have been the “Obama smear machine” which happens to have said a lot of the same things as both Fox News and GOP supporter Sheldon Adelson in the past?

Aquagirl,
Oh puh-leeze. I’ve been plenty courteous to you for a long time. And you’ve been nothing but snarky towards me and today in particular. If you can’t take it then I suggest that you simply stop dishing it out.
“You don’t start talking about JamVet’s sex life when you’re angry with him. ”
JamVet doesn’t anger me.
But if you had been paying attention I made a joke about kamspam yesterday lacking experience with women in the horizontal position and I constantly joke about kreep. I can’t remember if I’ve ever made a joke about a woman. So I think you’re assuming quite a bit if you think I’m just being sexist.. Seems like you have a pre-conceived narrative that you try to put cons into when they lob one back your way. You should be careful about putting people in those little boxes.
“You’re darn right I’m an amateur psychologist in this matter, most women are. We don’t do it for fun, we do it because it’s an almost universal experience to have some guy melt down unexpectedly. It can end very badly. ”
Yep. I’ve heard about it plenty of times from female acquaintances and friends.
“You may have daughters one day. If their boyfriend speaks to them like that when they argue and they stay with him, you’ll be the reason. Guys who suddenly start using derisive terms and talking about sex when they’re angry at a woman are creepy. If you’re okay being one of those guys, I can’t stop you. ”
I have nieces who I am extremely protective of. Female friends and former gfs as well. If you could meet any of them women that know me well they would tell you just how very wrong you are about me. As for your statement that I’m suddenly derisive well it seems to me that you’ve been that way too me for awhile now. And do you really want me to treat you less equally than your male counterparts. I try to treat everyone the same- men, women, black, white, etc. Seems like you can’t make up your mind about being treated equally and that you only want equal treatment when its of benefit to you.
“And BTW, I have not and will not complain to Jay for anything you’ve said. But that’s just for the record….If you do get in trouble you’ll blame me as the b!tch who made you do it.”
That’s fine. I wasn’t going to complain about your suggestions of mental illness with the lithium comments. Mental illness isn’t exactly a laughing matter either. I’ve had people on here say vile, nasty things towards me and one poster suggesting something vile about my mother flagging down carloads of young men for sex. Others suggested that she be banned but I said no. As despicable and horrific as her comments were I asked Jay not to ban her. I don’t go asking that they be banned. That’s a wussy way out and I”m above seeing people banned because I believe in free speech no matter how distasteful.

On December 19, 1988, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned lawn darts from sale in the United States due to their hazards as a flying projectile with a sharp metal point causing multiple deaths.[1]
Shortly after, in 1989, they were also banned in Canada.[2] Since then, alternatives have surfaced that are available for sale in Canada that are made of plastic.
Jarts for sale at Canadian Tire
It is possible to import parts of a lawn dart – plastic flights, metal bodies, and steel spigots – as well as a complete set of replacement parts to repair damaged lawn darts, into the US and Canada. However, fully assembled individual darts, sets, and kits are banned from entry by US and Canada customs.
I do remember my set too…
