Go Ahead And Talk

Yeah, I hear you Cheesy. I’m quite concerned about food supply and the cost of oil.
Thanks for the reply, Cheryl. The Wright issue has raised a lot of questions that deserve to be discussed and I agree that some people do still want to talk about it. I just don’t know that people want to hear the media still discussing it though.
It just seems that the media isn’t saying anything new or of much quality. It’s just more of the same rehashing and the same clips and even the same guests over and over. Some days I think the media has suckered us into believing that we need them to continue the coverage on it when I’d actually like to hear about the economy, the war, taxes, healthcare, etc. I feel like the media is playing us for patsies and distracting us from other important things.
Honestly, Cheesy, I think that a lot of people DO want to talk about it. The relationship between these two has raised so many questions and raised many aspects of the race relations issue to the forefront of our minds. It’s been a long time since we’ve thought about it.
I’ve heard those in the media say that the public wants them to discuss Rev. Wright’s comments. Is this really true? Or is the public just suckered into believing this is true because the media tells us it is? Is this a case of the tail wagging the dog? What’s your thoughts?
I wasn’t thinking about dictators, more the people who don’t seem to give a crap about the reasons a person would be reticent toward socialism, acting as if he’s the devil for not agreeing.

Today was a good day, and the show was great tonight too. I get borderline depressed during the day listening to conservative radio, but I’m like a junkie and can’t turn it off. I think I’ll be like that throughout campaign season, after which I’ll go back to only listening to Alan and Glenn Beck.
Noel, go read my comment under the ‘tonight’s show’ thread.

today was a good day……unless your obama!
Obama was slammed all over the news media, guilt by association..
the media will keep Rev. Wright all over the news until November whenever Wright farts, the media will be all over it and Sean Hannity will be like:
“embattled Rev. Wright farted today, but do those farts help terrorists? And if they do, do those farts believe in helping terrorists? and if so, does Obama believe those farts are helping terrorists? If so, why did Obama sit in that church for 20 years farting and helping the terrorists? to answer that question tonight on Hannity & Colmes, we have Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Dennis Miller, Dick Morris, Newt Gingrich and as always we are fair and balanced!’
LOL hilarious!
this is how the media is now swift boating all democrats running for office, but only democrats, not republicans.
because conservative talk radio are slamming obama, air america hosts like randi rhodes are calling democratic candidates ‘whores’
incredible!!!
LOL

What’s so wrong with socialism?
Just a question…
April 30th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Oooh Cheryl, naughty Holloween outfits? I thought you only had that Hanna Montana skirt…
Wow, let’s talk about when Obama becomes president. Won’t it just be great?
I think I’m going to have an election party in Nov. you can come Cheryl.

I just posted and included a link and it’s not showing up. Is it being “moderated”? Does anyone else have this problem? I would post it again but I had this problem earlier in a different thread and when I posted a second time it showed as a double post.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:18 am
“What’s wrong with Socialism?” The same thing that’s wrong with Capitalism…it’s an absolute. Taken to the extreme they both have serious faults and problems, but moderated and given some flexability the both have good points…or so I think.

I’m not sure about socialism. I do know that if I judged by my experience with watching socialist spokesmen, or self-proclaimed ones, I wouldn’t like the system either. Simple reason, they are pricks.

April 30th, 2008 at 2:13 am

W F G were you having a bad night?

A letter from Michael F. Scheuer, former Chief of the CIA’s Osama bin Laden Unit, to the editor of Antiwar.com:
“Our Islamist enemies do not give a damn about the way we vote, think, or live. Though any country they ruled would surely not look like ours, they are motivated by the belief that U.S. foreign policy is an attack on Islam, its lands, and its believers.”
“Neither party, and none of the candidates, want to discuss the Islamists’ motivation because they would have to deal with energy policy, support for Israel, and the 50-year record of U.S. support and protection for Arab tyrannies.”
“…the obsessive interventionism of both parties has inspired al-Qaeda and its allies to kill 7,000-plus U.S. civilians and military personnel since 11 September 2001.”
OK, it’s not “America.” It’s the goddamn government. It’s the goddamn people running this country.
That’s the point.

Noel~ I will come to your stupid election celebration party. Cook lots of seafood. My son will eat your son under the table. :-D And make sure that you’ve got a handful of handsome, eligible bachelors there for me… I’ll be wearing my naughty schoolgirl outfit. LOL
Budda~ that’s basically the conclusion that I’m coming to. Isn’t there some sort of economic system that brings them both together?
Wheelies/Mr. Adorable~ I think that the pricks in socialism are those who have taken the philosophy and turned it into a tyranny/dictatorship type deal. That’s what I think based on my limited research.
I think that Wheelies is just tired of hearing about Wright. We all are, but there are so many issues intertwined with this issue that the conversation keeps going and going and going… (someone shoot the bunny!)

No. I don’t take ambien, but I’ve seen the effects.
