"GG is a Friend of Gun Rights," her distinguished colleague stated on my television.
Sports fans are shooting the bobble head off a coach they don't like, because "It's all part of sports," another man said.
What will it take to make a gun as disgusting as cigarettes and special opi?
Graphic depictions of explosive blood splattering, tissue macerating massacrees up close, as shown on popular fictional films called thrillers, seem to have only heightened American blood lust.
Our Movement of Flower Power must be reloaded, and this time not shut down by Walker's CIA. No more backing off. It's flowers or nothing. Guns must be forged into instruments for gardening as it has always been written.
So here's Pemiscot County liquid mud in yer eye- GH, and WA WA, BABA WAWA.
Leaders lead; this country needs more than just shows of civility, and I think that sitting with one another is important to the practice of being civil, maybe even respectful.
It would be much harder to slight a leader of the opposing party, if one was sitting right next to members of that party. Congress needs to keep stretching themselves, and growing up, a s w e a l l d o .
Thanks...John for the very thoughtful post....
Yes, pschueler, The late Geroge Carlin (my mispelling) is quoted as saying "Who would have thought censorship would come from the left". So you guys have moved beyond censorship, and are into "reshaping my thinking". What next waterboarding?
Unmitigated-Truth, yours is a good example of scripting. Now go watch or llisten to your usual talking head and see how well they do it.
Thoms alright!Doesn't have it all figured out.But he is a gentleman and a scholar. Thoms the only radio host I'd call intellectual. (Sorry Ed)I posted this on Vanity Fair and they have a good article up now on Tucson incident/killerWe should take this fight to the bigger sites for we need idiot control (The Fairness Doctrine and/or a revision of it) Not gun controlhttp://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2011/01/is-the-giffords-shooting-a-new-kind-of-american-murder.htmlI examined Loughner's youtube posting. The youngman suffered with acute seperation anxiety. he obviously was extremely depressed and filled with feelings of despair. He was paranoid of the government and again depressed that any opportunity of a decent life were gone for him. Hell he should have kept smoking grass. I think his parents pushed him to join the service with words like "make something out of yourself, and your last chance at a good life." well it wasn't his last chance as normal folks know, but he isnt normal folk. Loughner is disturbed and the rt wing hate speech is daily and dominant around here. He isn't anything new. Sort of reminds me of how Hitler used the unemployed youth in Germany, first making them feel hopeless, turning them against the current government, then telling them they were superior and would have to "take back their country (homeland)" and thus they were recruited. It seems the weak minded are the most easily joined to any cause. I myself am a joiner for good causes, ie the cancer society, the red cross, my local blood bank, the rotary club at times, I am weak minded in that way having lost all I had at age 11. Our home in Bellville, Texas did in fact burn to the ground. My family survived and believe it or not I saved them all the pets and myself, The whole crew out in the front yard , middle of the night, we watched it burn. I learned about a great communities spirit of giving and charity in the following hours of the very next day. Thus, I learned charity. This young man is about 50% environment(parents,relatives and friends) and 50% product of what his community and larger world view (view is of course subjective) He isn't crazy I don't believe. Motivated yes, extremely sloppy and decidedly focused. His kind isn't new. He is 100% bigot believing his superior birthright in the world having been stolen and being stolen by others, I should write a book on persuading the bohemian mind. It could be titled "Beerjoint Propaganda" I guess and if that title was unacceptable to my publisher the second title choice would be, "Convincing Blondes to Have Sex with You," for Dummies. I believe the mind in a weakened state is fertile ground for propaganda focusing on "you" that's what the Nazi's did it almost worked completely. Look, everyone, it isn't that complex ... don't overthink this guy, if it looks like a duck and quacks and waddles...it's a freakin duck.. be good to yourself and know that even when you are alone, even when you are depressed, other people do love and care about you. Of course, I could say Jesus loves you, but people in your community care as well, I promise you most folks do, its our nature. When there is a world disaster a flood, storm, fire, earthquake, whatever, we Americans prove it everytime WE ARE THE #1 MOST LOVING AND GIVING PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION. That is what we are best at loving and giving, President Obama, if you read this blog Id be honored if you use this theme in your next election Loving and giving, that's who America is , we prove it over and over. We should be proud of it because according to Jesus, Love is the answer, and Love does conquer all. Sincerely, John McKinney
There is more security and police where he works in DC than anywhere else on the planet, but if members want to carry concealed, they should. Extra money from China for their security Oh Hell no. If I'm having dinner at my fav place (Outback Steak house ) shameless unpaid plug. And a congressman comes in there, am i supposed to run to the parking lot and stuff my .40 cal Taurus in the trunk? Idiot control is more practical than gun control Thom. Limiting the good people with gun permits also limits our ability to protect and [possibly save lives. The criminals and killers will buy their guns stolen or smuggled, illegally in some dark alley (probably in every town in the USA there is this type of "dark alley") let us concealed carry folks do what we have stated and even sworn to do. Protect and stop a heinous killer from killing us personally or any other innocent person. I dont know about anyone else but I am damn good with any sort of weapon. I could have shot that Tucson killer in the right eye or the left from 100 feet away even with him moving around a bit. Trust us that have those skills to do what we say we will do and have done already when we had the fateful opportunity. We are your neighbors, you really can trust us.
The party labels, Democrat and Republican, are abstractions that do not reflect the actual position of each representative. Within each party you have centrist, liberals, and conservatives. For example, to label all Republicans as conservatives does not reflect reality. Each House Representative represents districts whose constituent's beliefs and position vary with each issue. That difference of opinion on various issues becomes even greater within each state and each state Senator in Congress must account for those differences. For that reason, there is no logic and reason for the parties to sit separately during the State of Union Message. If you want to create a culture of debate and compromise in Congress, you don't create fences or borders that only separate and distance political representative from arriving at solutions to various issues.
In theory, this sounds like the right thing. However, I remain cynical about this idea from the Republican standpoint. They don't want unity and cooperation. Their only goal is to bring down this president.
And after each new gun massacre jolts our nation year in and year out – we refuse to change. "
Did you do any research to see how many lives have been saved/crises averted because of guns? Of course not! Congratulations on taking the tragedy of Tucson and turning it into a political ave. for your same old bullshit. And massive congratulations for being such a freaking nut that you made it onto the blaze.com Millions of people actually have heard of you now.
Thanks Alan! Louise
Sometimes you have no choice but settle for eggs scrambled with or without katchup. I prefer a dill pickle on my scrambled egg sandwich with perhaps a little dab of tobasco, leave it to Rush and Hanity to load on the Katchup , they are hard at it as we speak.
War is a narcotic.
War is a narcotic. War gives certain people a high. Bush has claimed that he has recovered but you never recover from an addictive personality. The longer a war lasts the more power goes to the government.
We start hating through language and from language we start to want to kill people. War gives the addictive personality meaning. Bush seemed like he could not exist without war. The state begins to define our being. The state must control us in order for us to kill. We cannot look at another person as part of humanity. Friends do not want war. You must, in war, want to kill and a person cannot be a friend to a person whom he is out to kill. People become intoxicated in war toward killing. You lose yourself and your identity as a human person in war.
If you oppose war, you court physical violence to yourself by the nationalists who desire and crave killing and war. You need moral courage to oppose war in America, a land that is overrun by nationalists who want killing and war.
Human beings do not want to kill other human beings. When Bush and Cheney were in power they turned away from people who had empathy for us after 9/11. We had an opportunity to build friendships but we became racists.
The Republican Party possesses extremists who are doing great damage to our relations in the world. Once you become violent, you hang onto and remain violent because you cannot behave any other way. Violence comes back to haunt a country. Our violence to other countries will come back to haunt us. We do not have the right to control other people.
ARE AMERICANS BECOMING ADDICTED TO THE KILLING OF GOD'S CHILDREN?
I'm a lifelong Republican/fundamentalist who, in recent years, left both folds in disgust. I voted for Obama and now carry on conversations with old GOP buddies to try to raise their consciences about the fallacies of the Right. The best book I read all year was "Unequal Protection" and am now utilizing "Screwed" in my Internet conversations and Facebook. I was just thinking that "quacks" are to the medical profession what the Right is to Congress these days. They are working directly for the "corporate person" and selling the American middle class down the river.
From the American government, the American corporations, and the American rich we are living in a country where these triads are playing Ponzi schemes, shell games, smoke and mirrors, and bait and switch tactics through corruption, fear, manipulation, hatred, and lies. In 2012 I will vote either for a Democrat or a Republican. If I vote for a Democrat, I will experience either puking or diarrhea. If I vote for a Republican, I will experience a BOTH ENDER. A BOTH ENDER is where a person experiences simultaneously puking and diarrhea. I know that at least once I have experienced a BOTH ENDER. Sitting on the toilet with a barf bucket in both hands is a terrible experience.
I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY A FASCIST, A NAZI, A BANANA REPUBLIC, AND A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!!!
@making progress, it can happen again but only the conservative crazies can do it. We are currently seeing the overthrow in America of the middle class, the loss in manufacturing jobs, and the closing of 40,000 to 47,000 factories. Are we down to 9% of our manufacturing jobs? The U.S. Supreme Court is more powerful than the president and congress combined.
Rather than "retreat from this culture of violence", how about we transform it. Concepts of civility have gone down the tubes in this nation in the recent past and we can lay most of that loss on the corporate media's doorstep. "If it bleeds it leads". Popular culture celebrates antagonism and violence. Yet, in the middle of the 20th century, PSA's about civility ran on television daily, especially during the daytime when kids were watching (and that was during the McCarthy era!). When was the last time you saw something like that on the "public" airwaves, much less on cable? It's time mandatory public service announcements concerning civility and public safety were again part of both the priviledge of using public airwaves, as well as in the curriculum of public education. I guess that means legislation, right? Well, how about Congress tries a little bi-partisanship that goes beyond toothless feel-good resolutions?
This is a very good idea. While it may be largely symbolic, it does send a very positive message to the nation.
But for those who hate the idea of American unity, I can see how this may be threatening.
Is Fascism Lurking?
by Danny Schechter
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/01/14-1
In the past, during the depression, there was a plot to overthrow Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was exposed and neutered. Could something like that happen again?
Maybe it doesn't have to, what with hawks already in control of Congress, major media outlets, the military and poised to slash the power of unions and curb progressive social programs including public education.
Several writers believe that if and when fascism comes to America it will be packaged in a friendly form tied to beneficial advertising slogans and public interest messaging. It will be sold, 1984-style as being unavoidable, even cool, and in our best interest.
Louisiana Senator Huey Long, once said, "Fascism will come to America in the name of anti-fascism."
Here is my response to all conservatives rising or sitting.

Neon Blue-maybe you could find some Progressive businessmen that would promise to heavily advertise on a progresive radio station. Here in Portland we have a few that heavily advertise on KPOJ. One is an green-type auto repair and another is a Prius dealership and a couple others. The Auto repair guy has one minute ads where he rails against he RW corporatocracy. Actually he has some of the best Progressive essays/rants I've ever heard. http://tomdwyer.com/kpoj/5-newest-kpoj-spots/ Maybe he could sell them to some of your local businessmen!
