calimary's JournalI'd go even farther than that. I'd start targeting the damned Hyde Amendment.
Let's fight them THERE, too! Looks like sometimes we taxpayers have to pick up the tab. So let's make it COMPLETELY possible again. Hell, they're trying to undo all OUR laws. Let's undo some of THEIRS!
Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.
Earlier today it was slow as molasses in January.
'Fraid I have to agree. Gore was pressured to stop fighting after they started painting him
as divisive, "sore loserman," not a good American, unpatriotic, and more. The media was against him - hell, they'd been that way from the beginning. Fell for the "oh ha ha ha he says he invented the internet" (which he did not), "oh ha ha ha look at him wearing earth tones" (yeah, they picked on his appearance and style of dress and pounded him with derision throughout the campaign), and more. Then they pounded him accusing him of being horribly divisive if he kept fighting - that he should get over it (that WE ALL should get over it) and "come together" la la la la for the sake of the country blah-blah-blah and be a good sport and bush won and all that crap let's just move on and not look back, gotta look forward, don't ask any questions, and SURE AS HELL don't investigate or try to look into this or run the numbers or anything.
There were armies of republi-CON operatives parroting the same talking point as though they were surgically attached in a long ding-dong daisy chain: "well, they counted once, they count again, they counted a third time!!!" The wording didn't even vary.
Also - If I had to blame one person, it'd be the worthless, spineless, MUSHmallow'd, flaccid, most ridiculously blah complete wuss donna brazile. A woman with fire in - well, someplace in another town somewhere over there. MAN, tell her to fight hard and she'll respond - "and how long do I get to nap? Where should I lie down? Who do you want me to NOT get in the face of? Sure don't wanna bother anybody... (and Al, DO NOT fight back! Always just be NICE!!! Put yer boxing gloves AWAY, honey! Maybe you should go take a nap, too...). 'Cause we just don't wanna risk upsetting anybody on the other side! Let's not fight too hard, okay? We've just GOTTA be NICE. And when they're coming to mow us down with a Sherman Tank, make sure you're stretched out on the pavement in a nice tidy straight line, okay? You know, where they can see you! It'll be, you know, nice!"
That woman makes me SICK. A plate of wilted lettuce would put up more of a fight than she did. An EARTHWORM would be a fiercer, more relentless, more ruthless opponent! Between her and ralph nader it's a wash, in my opinion. Both of 'em can go eat what comes out of the back end of my dog over the weekend (she ate something that didn't agree with her), as far as I'm concerned. I'm frankly amazed at how badly nader seemed bent on personally nuking everything he'd once worked so hard to build on behalf of consumer protection! I thought he cared about that stuff. I really did. I was a big fan of his, once. NO MORE.
And that was a MOST enjoyable evening!
A bunch of activists getting fired up about Howard Dean! I think you're the only DUer I actually have met face-to-face.
YOUR street, at the rate we're going.
YOUR street. That's where. These assholes won't rest until that happens. Which is why WE can't rest either, until we stop them! Or at least slow them the hell down!!!
That's one of my favorite John Lennon songs.
It's kinda dicey because the "n"-word is involved.
But it's damn TRUE! I find myself thinking (or maybe flattering myself into thinking) that AS a woman, I can kinda understand, in a very small way, what blacks in this country have had to withstand through the centuries in this country. It's strictly back-of-the-bus for women. Women in general have been regarded as property farther back than American slave days. It goes back to the Old Testament era - and even farther. Hey, if I took some of the Book of Leviticus seriously, I could be considering to whom I could sell my daughter - which neighboring country. Actually, strike that. Since I too am a female, somebody else (male) would already have considered to whom they could sell ME.
MIGHTY GLAD you brought this up, graywarrior! Much love to you and I'm glad you're back! Whether it's in a limited sense or more.
I know what you mean! I feel the same way! And found another hummingbird video, too!
This is VERY dear!!!
Welcome to DU, Damansarajaya!
Good to have you with us! Great point you make, too. It's all about sex. We all suffer the curse of the Puritans. Latter-day Puritans in this case. And when it's also a tool to further hamstring women, even better! Because everybody knows we women just can't make our own decisions now, can we? I'm surprised they even trust us with the grocery shopping or the house-cleaning...
No kidding. My late father-in-law was a doctor.
He told this story about driving a bleeding young woman to the hospital. She was hemorrhaging. Pretty much all over the back seat of his car. She'd sought a back-alley abortion that went bed, as most of them do, and she was actually on the verge of dying. He was a very moral very conservative gent. But that made him decide that safe and legal abortions were something that was needed - because they kept young women of childbearing age ALIVE and HEALTHY, so they could eventually have those babies and care for them and afford to raise them. Chances are if you were lucky enough to survive a back-alley abortion, you were often rendered infertile for the rest of your life. Wire coat hangers anyone?
