    The GOP Lunacy Parade Continues ...

    I do. But I also have a sense of irony, and it was just too easy, lol. BTW: thanks for the info on Hagel - you post good stuff.

    The GOP Lunacy Parade Continues ...

    Massachusetts GOP reaching out to Romneys for a Senate run? - Washington Times Read it & weep. Dang - I always wanted to say that, too! :p

    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Someday, the abomination will be seen as forcing women to bear children they didn't want, or risk 'back alley' abortions. In an age of enlightenment, every baby born will be wanted and welcomed. We're not there yet, because accidents happen, birth control fails, humans fail, and unintended...

    Inmates on work crew save 3 boys from frigid Washington river

    It's not who the rescuers were that surprised me, it's that rescuing kids is considered newsworthy - it just seems to me that it's something anyone would do in the same situation. Rescuing adults, maybe not so much - but kids? It's human nature to protect them. I'd jump in - so sue me. [Always...

    The GOP Lunacy Parade Continues ...

    Anyone who doubts that the GOP has gone completely around the bend has only to read the latest [in a long series] howler: Massachusetts Repubs are suggesting that John Kerry's Senate seat be filled by - [I LOVE this, lol] Ann Romney. Because she fought multiple sclerosis, and people liked her...

    Why?

    I can't speak to what the government is doing to or for the military and vets, I was just contradicting the statement that society views them negatively, cause that's not what I see. And yes, a great deal of it is simply grandstanding, or just following the crowd, but it's still a far better...

    Inmates on work crew save 3 boys from frigid Washington river

    I'm surprised that doing the right thing is considered newsworthy - are we that far gone, that we don't expect people to try to save lives in an emergency? I'm not a prisoner and never have been, [though I joke about being an exCon, that means ConWay Now] but I believe I'd have jumped in too, if...

    If the implication is that I don't 'see' or concede the pressure placed on the BSA, you're wrong. But I see much much worse pressure placed on pro choice people, with billboards everywhere that feature adorable innocent babies [totally dishonest, because it's all about emotion, not facts or...

    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Well, I sure don't envy them. [If I were a believer, I'd say "There, but for the grace of God..." right?] It being totally outside one's power to choose, any one of us could have been born that way - including me. Every ugly and hateful slur [yes, AMonger, that includes yours] directed against...

    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Your assumption is incorrect: it's not the subject of homosexuality you're fixated on, but the graphic descriptions you can't seem to refrain from typing. Most of us can discuss it in the same way as hetero sex, [that is, in the abstract - discussing the concept without involving the actual...

    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Los said "When these choices are condemned or taken away, we are no longer a free country" and you reply " Very well said"?! Sorry, but condemning what I see as wrong is MY freedom of speech. And I repeat [because y'all just don't get it] nobody is forcing anything on anyone here.

    February

    I know it's early, but Jujubeans said it's ok, so there. I couldn't wait for Jan to end - the weather today was horrendous in Pa, just like Oh & Mi: blowing snow, scary wind gusts, whiteouts, crashes & ice rinks for roads - is it almost spring yet? :(

    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Sorry, Hawk, but the courts and legislation can't enforce anything the people won't allow, nor can 'intimidation'. When you know what you believe is right, you don't back down -it's as simple as that. My mind can be [and has been] changed by logic, reason, and fact, but by badgering or...

    What are you loving this month?

    Free online books! Many are rare historical treasures: hundreds of brief narratives recorded in the 1940's by the last living former slaves, an account by a Union soldier held in a Confederate POW camp, the American Revolution from the perspective of an Englishman who served in the King's troops...

    And once there was talent

    I think the last one doesn't work - and it's the best! [I even bought the CD, and I haven't paid for music in a lot of years, lol.] Australia's Got Talent 2011 - Chooka - YouTube If I played piano, this kid would make me want to just quit, ya know...:D

    In your mind - and that's exactly where such ugliness should stay. It's odd that you can't discuss the subject of homosexuality without getting waaay too explicitly graphic about it.....
