Thank you very much bylm1.


:D :-D :) :lol: :twisted: :XD: :thumbup:

I don't really care if you find my cynicism so repulsive. What's the matter, those three absolutely true stories upset you?

Susan Sarandon's opinions have been about as unpredictable as the sunrise. She is in the very vanguard of vogue liberalism.

All you offered in your posting was a broadside. If that's your idea of reasonable debate, it fails in the rules.

In a Linked-In group, I drew charges of anti-semitism because I dared to proffer the opinion that by 1938, Hitler was a minor leaguer in the Tyranny Sweepstakes next to Stalin and that had he died at that time, he’d have gone down in history as Germany’s greatest statesman. That is an opinion that is shared by many historians, mainstream and otherwise. How that person inferred anti-semitism from that posting is beyond me.

There is an Old World, Japanese and Asian view of honor which is germane to what I am about to write. For me to feel any honor about your opinion, I must honor you & it, otherwise it means nothing and your must feel honor for me. By your posting, you have indicated no honor for me so I can feel none for your lack of esteem. And the same goes for that other man in Linked-In.

Think about that. You see no smiles or frownies. Just plain talk

I don't care whay you think.

The infamous “Piss Christ” episode was where Andres Seraano received a National Institute of Art grant that he used to take a photograph of a crucifix immersed in a beaker of his urine. Was there something special about his urine? But that mustn’t be offensive. Desecrating Christianity is liberal pastime.


Then, there was the display, in The Brooklyn Museum of Art, of an African artist’s rendering of a portrait of The Blessed Virgin Mary using elephant dung. Mayor Rudi Giuliani objected to having it shown in a publically supported institution. Ahh, but artistic freedom screamed the usual suspects including Susan Sarandon, the eternal angelic liberal, and the venerable senator at the time from New York, one Hillary Clinton.

And, do not forget the New Mexico case where a Sante Fe museum showed a painting by a Chicana lesbian depicting Our Land of Guadaloupe in a desecratory manner. The bishop objected on the same basis as Giuliani and was met with similar derision.

We’re supposed to accept these things.

I’ve confirmed this with the town historian of Mound Bayou, Mississippi.

Jefferson Davis’ brother had a s***e who was an enterprising sort who opened up a chain of general stores & became quite successful. He became so successful that he extended Davis credit & eventually exchanged it for his freedom!

Mound Bayou was one of many towns founded as commercial, cultural, religious & social centers for freed s***es. They flourished during Jim Crow. People came from miles around, sometimes as many as 100, to partake in the festivities. Sunday evenings streets were packed with revelers.

B****s were restricted to shopping in black stores but w****s could shop anywhere so black businesses had field days. Those black entrepreneurs became quite prosperous. When segregation was repealed, many of those black businesses & commercial centers fell on very hard times, so desegregation was not an unmixed blessing.

Finally, how likely was cruelty to s***es when a s***e was quite costly?

Abraham Lincoln freed not a single s***e.

As the 1970s went on and the awful reality dawned on Sen. Edward (Ted) Kennedy that the death of a young woman in his car meant that he’d never be elected president, he decided to concentrate on health care as his avenue to destroy America. He spearheaded the movement toward National Health Insurance.

Afoot in the land, was also the realization that Medicare/Medicaid costs were completely out of control. Of course, slime-bucket progressives (I apologize for any redundancy), had already been declared sacred cows. Some suggested that hospitals & even physicians’ offices be categorized as utilities to make them subject to all of the associated regulations, and, of course, to save money, which utility commissions never do but which satisfy progressives’ sanctimonious posturings. That was how many progressives hoped to take control of medical care in thsi country, despite the disclaimer in the original act.

There is currently, a movement afoot to declare churches public accommodations, which would make them subject to purview of all civil rights government agencies. This is how progressives plan to force churches to accept homosexual weddings and it’s part of the progressives agenda to destroy religion. Every progressive is part of it, knowingly or unknowingly, and all will deny it.

Civil rights in accommodations goes back to either the 1964 or 1965 Civil Rights Act. Sen. Barry Goldwater, who had been in the forefront of the civil rights movement, decided to v**e against the 1964 version. He foretold that it would lead to quotas in employment and showed exactly how it would. Sen. Hubert Humphrey, who was angling to be Lyndon Johnson’s running mate later that year, acted as Johnson’s lapdog and said that if it did, he’d eat a copy of the bill on the Senate floor. It did & he didn’t but did go on to be selected by Johnson for the ticket.

After the accommodations provision was enacted, a black woman, at the time said that she didn’t want to go where she wasn’t wanted. That’s as succinct of an appropriate objection as I’ve ever read.

Well, of course, 1964 Civil Rights Act did lead to quotas and it has been a boon for lawyers, ever since. It hasn’t been for anyone, including b****s, who remained unemployed due to the diverted resources, at this point probably billions of dollars, to defend employers from various litigations that they’d have, undoubtedly, otherwise been using to expand their businesses and develop more jobs. But, what they hell, as that great progressive, Vladimir Ulyanov Lenin, once said, “You have to break some eggs to make an omelet.”

Now it’s the homosexuals, aka L**Ts (lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals and t***sexuals) who have been designated as the suffering group du jour and are being used by progressives to destroy the remaining traditions of this country. But entailed in this issue is not just our traditions but our very language, American English. There is no way that their so-called marriages should be called marriages as set forth in our dictionaries. No amount of parsing can do that.

There is a simple solution though; get the government out of the marriage business completely.

Many of their activists have equated this latest movement with the civil rights struggles of the 1950s to 1970s. It doesn’t fly.

While negritude and g****r are usually very obvious, homosexuality is far less so. How many women had their fantasies dashed when Rock Hudson’s long-rumored homosexuality was confirmed by the revelation that he had AIDS? How many, at the time, were aware of Cary Grant’s bisexuality? It only became known well after his death. And it has only very recently, in some biographies, been discussed that Katharine Hepburn was confused about her own sexuality. How many thought so at the time?

But finally, everyone should be aware of where this coming battle is likely to be fought. There can be little doubt that first & foremost in the crosshairs will be The Catholic Church. Look what happened with the sexual abuse scandals that have been kept in the headlines for nearly four decades. Little publicity has been made about the hundreds of ministers, protestant church deacons and rabbis who have abused children and other church members, often those in the midst of personal crisis and the most vulnerable. You read little about it.

The Catholic Church has been the most visible opponent of a******n and birth control, to the never ending frustration of people like Dan Blather, er Rather. The forces of secular progressivism will be targeting The Catholic Church. Make no mistake about this. They h**e
The Catholic Church.

They will be scouring every piece of legislation and twisting every little phrase, at every level of government, to force the Church to cave in. It will not be pretty but get ready for it.

Do not be surprised if The Southern Poverty Law Center declares the Church to be an extremist h**e organization. They have already done it to two very conservative Catholic organizations & The American College of Pediatricians and The League of the South. They also labeled Dr. Ben Carson an extremist for 14 months until Morris Dees supposedly found out about it and ordered the person who did it fired and Carson’s name removed. It took him 14 months to find out about it.

You owe it to yourselves to go to its website and explore the organizations so categorized.

:P :D :-D :-) :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :shock: :shock:

Only a progressive, such as Leonard Pitts, Jr., would see fit to smear an entire movement, such as the anti-government stance of conservatives and libertarians with a broad brush by equating it with Timothy McVeigh. He did it in a recent column (20 years after Oklahoma Bombing, hatred is still out there
http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article18526727.html If we try to do something like that, progressives label it McCarthyism.

In his column, Pitts cited The Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) documentation of ‘dozens of right wing plots’ since 1995 bombing at the federal Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Well, for Pitts’ info, The SPLC is itself a peddler of h**e and l*****t paranoia. It listed, among its slate of extremists, Dr. Ben Carson. When I confronted Morris Dees, SPLC’s director, at his recent speech at The University of North Florida here in Jacksonville, about that he said it was a new employee who had done it and he’d not known about it and as soon as he found out about it, he had the employee fired and Carson’s name removed.

Sounds good until you find out that Carson’s name was on that list for 14 months. What does that tell you about Dees & his organization?

For the information of Pitts & other liberals, the anti-government sentiment is why we are independent from England in the first place. Our War for Independence would never have gotten off the ground without the autonomous m*****as that he disparages and had emerged and gave the British so many headaches with their guerrilla tactics. Every single one of our founding documents just simmers with a suspicion of power.

In fact, Pitts should be especially suspicious of government power since government power enforced s***ery, The Fugitive S***e Act & Jim Crow and gave us Auschwitz, the Gulag, the K*****g Fields, etc.

James Madison once said, 'When the government fears the people it is a democracy... .when the people fear their government it is tyranny...'

I love this country but I fear its government. Mr. Pitts and all Americans should accept, not condemn such fears as valid concerns.

Never, ever, underestimate the power of the Left's lies. As illogical and shameless they are, they will always have the media on their side.

Look at ABC-Yahoo. On the Yahoo homes page there are always more links to Huff Post and other pro-left or anti-right stories. And Yahoo is owned by ABC which sports Georgie-porgy Stephanopoulos and Chris Cuomo, scion of Mario, the contemptuous former governor of New York and Andrew Cuomo, the frothing pit-bull current governor. And both governors always got away with their rantings and ABC gets away with their deck stacked that way.

I'm thinking of doing a full set of 5 such cycles & thanks.

Sorry for this delay but I've been distracted.

Sorry though also because it is, most emphatically, not like chemistry. Nothing is predicted before hand. Subjecting certain sections of a strand of DNA to various stimuli results in some changes. Big deal. Were the changes predicted or hoped for? I suspect the latter.

Vapor clouds to rain.

Rain gathers into puddles.

Puddles to vapor.

I never wrote one before.

This shouldn't be the only blemish on her resume'. Try the utter corruption that has been part & parcel of hers and HRS (His Royal Slickness) political careers.

He came from, at best, an upper-lower socio-economic class, probably not much different from Elvis, and is obviously a multi-millionaire now. Does anyone think he made it strictly from law practice and his political paychecks?

She came from an upper middle class business background but no inheritance explains her current status. Her law practice may have been lucrative but a lot of it was political favors that have never been explored in the mass media.

Their entire situation stinks to the high heavens of corruption.

Years ago, I already had had enough. The problem is the GOP has been complicit in a lot of this mess. We need someone who is willing to actually repeal these programs otherwise we'll be replacing evil with less evil. Government is evil & encourages evil.

Even if two thirds of the American people wanted BHO impeached, he'd never be and certainly never be removed. Face reality, guys. Almost two centuries ago, Thomas Jefferson expressed over the fact that impeachment had been & would be too rare. And whether you support him or oppose him, it's such a complicated process that the distraction might be too much.

Nixon just got caught. What he did had been done throughout American history. No politician was more corrupt than the original Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago. Mayor Curley of Boston ran the office from a jail cell. Tammany Hall was notorious. Franklin D. Roosevelt was a pioneer in using federal agencies and regulators against opponents. The Kennedys did it too.

I have never heard or read of a hint of anyone dying as a result of Watergate. The list of improbable, unexpected and inexplicable deaths among people associated with Billary runs into pages. It was safer to be an enemy of Richard Nixon than a passenger in Ted Kennedy's car.
