Oklahoma Teabagger Arrested For Twitter Threats

Hey vegas,

Now tell me who exactly said to do anything beyond a peaceful protest? I’d love to see any credible sources of where violence was directed by conservative hosts. it was a peaceful protest that had a few idiots come out of the wood work. Look at any liberal protest over the last 50 years and show me where there wasn’t at least one rowdy, drugged up liberal getting blasted with a water cannon for throwing rocks or being destructive. There is lunatics out there and to blame a whole group for the actions of one who took it too far is ridiculous.

Oklahoma Teabagger Arrested For Twitter Threats

Rocky,

If you are enciting that every conservative and republican wants to grab a gun and kill everyone who doesn’t believe in the same things they do, you need a bed next to this guy in the half way house. I may not agree with gay marriage or these economic plans/ policies but I’m not about to start killing people over it. Out of my cold dead hands is for the government taking your guns away. For some of us that is just like taking away our house without just cause. They merely say they are willing to die for those rights. I’m sure there is something you are just as passionate about. Quit making the every conservative and repulican into the Lufwaffe.

Why Conservatives Are Whining About Miss California Not Winning Miss USA

The girl laid it out on the line. Most people would have just danced around the question and said what she thought the audience wanted to hear. Yes, it is a very hurtful subject to alot of gay people but she is entitled to her beliefs. If you didn’t want to her to answer the question honestly than why did she get asked the question? See, some people don’t want to hurt anbody’s feelings and dance around the question. Others, like me, just tell you our true beliefs and if you don’t like it … well you asked the question.

As for the gay men in the audience … they just want to be Miss America or Mr. America. Those girls live the dream they can’t. That’s the response I get from my gay friends! I’d think of her as a politician if she was politically correct (according to some) about the subject. Either way it would have been a headline each way she answered the question. She agrees or disagrees … boy that isn’t being put in a tough situation! I just think the judges missed the point. They look at Miss America to be perfect and in actuallity this country is anything but … we have disagreements and that is the beauty of this country, you are allowed a different viewpoint.

If that question cost the girl the title because one judge’s vote, out of the own ignorance she claims to be against, it’s pretty sad. America is perfect in the same light because it is not actually perfect, so why should Miss America be any different. For once they had a candidate that wasn’t android Barbie!

Karzai: "I Don't See Any Problems" With Afghan Law Approving Rape

I just want to know where in hell these people get their ethics from! There is only one ethically sound way to make any law or situation. It’s called the golden rule! Do one to others as you would have done to yourself. As far as I am concerned, we should threaten to stop funding anymore humanitarian and infrustructure aid unless the entire Muslim culture pulls their head out of the dark ages. I am fine with respecting people’s religious beliefs but that barrier ends when common sense fails to float and innocent women have to be mamed in the name of “Allah”!

In short Obama knows he has to bite his tongue in the situation he’s presented with right now. I’m sure his views are much the same as my own on this one and I’m leaning a bit to the right of center. It’s not about what Bush did or what Obama should do. It’s not his place just like Darfur. This is what the UN is for. Maybe someday the UN will be practical and grow a backbone to help the world community with more than vaccines, medical supplies, condoms, and mosquito nets.

Binghamton Gunman Felt "Degraded And Disrespected"

It’s called any third world country where they put out suicide bombers. Quit blaming the guns and blame the people. He could have made a car bomb and ran it into the builing too. Should we ban cars? Ridiculous!

Another Paranoid Obama Hater Goes Crazy

I have a problem with alot of democrat ideas about gun laws. Canada’s system of a gun bank is ridiculous and I still want to be able to amount a gorilla war if government goes too far. It’s about resources and the ability to defend yourself. If our fore fathers had stupid laws like the ones you see mounting by extremme wackos now, the revolution would have never happened. It would have been Tianamin square of the 13 colonies. Extreme ideas will one day rip this country apart like any other civilization. Maybe we won’t be around to see it but rome wasn’t built in a day and it didn’t die in a day either.

Sy Hersh: Cheney Bad-Mouthed Obama To The Israelis

Thank you Guido! An un-named source is the journalists way of not having to cover his own a$$. If this was true don’t you think the dems in congress would have hung Cheney by now or held a UN tribunal!

Did Rush Limbaugh Actually Say These Things?

Every single one of those quotes is taken out of context. Tell me you don’t understand the word “sarcasm” or maybe the fact that Ruysh knows liberals are listening to his show so he decides to pee in your cheerios on a daily basis. Way to go Alan, you’ve made Rush’s day by holding him as credible again … jeez … when are you going to learn.

Another One Bites The Dust

Guido,

I understand your pain my friend but the times generally change. Now everything is being turned into digital and online publication. It’s all about simplicity of the internet and the cutting of costs. Technology just cuts out the middle man. We cut out paper publishing and create interactive avenues to get our new such as the one we presently use.

It’s sad to see the times pass, but at the same time, so many more open.

Even The Homeless Are Connected

Wow … I don’t even know what to say to this …

I can’t judge these people … don’t know their situation.

As for the gentleman who has a blog about his addiction and daily life being homeless, I suppose it helps others understand his situation but where should your priorities lie. If I was t have someone beggin me for change or something, I’m not givin’ it to the guy with the cell phone. Like I say, I don’t know what to think of this one.

Is Palin Rejecting Stimulus Money to Further National Ambitions?

When it comes to the national stage, for the most part it’s about the resume … unless your Obama. And all of you who say it’s a state’s right issue … you hit the nail on the head. It’s none of your business what she does with that money. The Alaska Legislature can override her if they please. Will they?

Don’t try and understand the people of Alaska. They are much tougher and rugged than you give them credit for. If you’re homeless there you die! If you can’t heat your home you die! Thee people know all about sacrifices many in this country take for granted and do so by choice. No one up there has to live in a cold wasteland because they are made too. They can always move to California and live off the government if they wanted to. They’ll take care of them … right Labor lawyer?!?!

Pic Pick

He looks like the guy in Silence of the Lambs … “I’d
$%#@ me!”

But What Do You Really Think, Senator?

Eric,

The last time I checked it didn’t matter when it came to party affiliation or right/left view point to do the crap that caused this mess. Don’t just point out conservatives. Just look at Dodd and Barney Frank, they are just as guilty of stupidity.

But as you said Eric,”Hari Kari assumes you had some high honor to begin with. That your decisions were trusted and then proved to be completely wrong.” There is no honor in serving as a civil servant either.

It would have been better if the TARP packages were better thought out instead of rushed. A large majority of both house and senate representatives have law degrees and came out on the side that these people would do the right thing. Frosty is right when it comes to contract law. They were entitled by contract but in doing so do it in an unhonorable way. Just udderly ridiculous. The whole legislature should look at the palm of their hands and smack their own forehead and call themselves idiots for even trusting that the right thing would be done. In the real world it’s all about what’s on paper and the fine print.

Cheney On The Economy: "Stuff Happens"

Chenney is a very intelligent man that had to hide in a cave and bite his tongue. You could tell that the man wanted to say more than he ever did. I think he’s just happy that he can talk now. He’s a post political politician. He just says what’s on his mind and what he thinks.

And just enough on Katrina already. Get over it. If it happened to upstate NY where I live, no one would give a rat’s ass. We’re just as poor as those who lived in those house’s in New Orleans. Years of ignorance led to that hole situation. You can’t blame Bush for not being a decendant of Moses or Noah. But that would have been funny to watch Bush make an ark out of gopher wood. Then you would have found him crazy. Not defending the actions. Jusdt get over it already.

Conservative Talk Radio On Wane In California

You all are missing the point. Alan hit the nail on the head when he said,”The economy’s downturn has depressed ad revenue at stations across the state, thinning the ranks of conservative broadcasters.” Plain and simple, everyone that is complaining does nothing but increase numbers for conservative radio hosts. Economic downturn has caused everyone to cut back including the “sleep number bed” and “ruth crisp’s” of the world. Don’t pat yourselves on the back and think you actually did anything. It’s an economic reaction to a downturn of ad money.

I told you before. If you take away the sponsors, you shut up alot of hosts. Just don’t be suprised when it comes back on other people like Alan. The little guys are like small business … the big corporations like the walmarts in the world will come in and hit the weak consumer in the pocket (leaving them more money). That’s all a syndicated show is … congratulations to all of you who celebrate … you’ve made guys like Levin, Hannity, Savage, Beck , and Rush all louder than ever.

Don’t celebrate this …

Iraqi Shoe-Thrower Gets Three Years

Whether you agree with what Bush did or not I have to applaud the Iraqi government for the actions they have taken. All I have to say is look back to Alan’s past post on the guy in washington who punched out a man because he wasn’t speaking English. It’s not the point that the man wasn’t representing the frustration of many people around the world. The point is that type of behavior is not acceptable. The reason we have laws in society is to retain order. If they let him go on what he did they’d be opening up a slippery slope. It’s commonsense! You can say Bush deserved it but if someone did that in this country, we’d bring them up on charges also.

Uh Oh! Michael Steele Used The "C" Word

The only person the “C” word should be directed towards is Ann Coulter.

But even if we say this is a State’s rights issue I find a huge issue with all of this. Set aside Roe v. Wade for a second. This goes for any major issue. You are trying to impose a law in which you can’t justify one argument or the other. In our legal system that is called a hung jury. You are not respecting anyone’s individual rights. In order to claim it is murder you’d have to prove life exists. There is no definitive answer to any of this. It would be so much easier if people would stop trying to live someone elses life for them. Some hoe I have a feeling that this is what Steele was trying to say but is afraid of what the far right conservatives will say. Sorry America but the conservatives don’t speak for the majority of America or the Republican party. As an independant I know how much both sides really on my vote.

On Wednesday's Radio Show...

I’m just amazed at the opinions that fly in on how to solve “other people’s” problems. I’m a smoker in NY. I pay more for cigarettes than anyone else in the country. I do it because I like doing it. I don’t do it around anyone else and the only one I’m killing is myself. How this is any different than any junk food I have no idea. Mine adds horrible chemicals to my body and junk food clogs arteries, causes diabetes, and so much more. What gives you the right to tell me how to live my life. In end, I pay my health insurance, I pay for the cigarettes, I don’t ask the government for one red cent. And when I die my family will be taken care of. Beyond that, how is it any of you GD business.

You wanna see supression of your rights? Move to NY state. Not only did the govenor want to tax sugary products because they contribute to childhood obesity, he also wants to tax gym memberships to increase revenue. And for some reason no one else sees this as an oxymoron. Not say his job is easy but this is an injustice at it’s ugliest level. We don’t have politicians in NY. We have an aristocracy of wing nuts that’s rich and owned by lobbyist money.

Star Mag: Bristol And Levi Split Up

How does this effect Palin? All I can say is it proves she’s human. You can’t honestly tell me that the President was put under the microscope by the media quite like Palin was/is. It’s just sad that we even put this stuff up as news. This stuff happens everyday (her daughter getting pregnant). If anything it gives Palin an edge in my book to any family values debate. It’s one thing to preach but it’s another to stand in the shoes of humility and understanding. Palin is no Christian conservative. When was the last time you saw a conservative christian with a sncross racer for a husband. I’d be willing to bet if you did a “behind the lines” and truthful interview she’d be a typical person caught up in a job she probably doesn’t even want anymore.

But Alan,

Leave the kids alone. If you wanna judge Sarah, have at it. But this girl did nothing to deserve the scutiny that she gets. Just stick with the typical stereotypes in your mind of a child that ended up in her position. Have faith that she can make something of her life. Don’t belittle her because her mothr is a talking head.

On Wednesday's Radio Show...

Mr. Ortiz would come up with any excuse to raise a tax on a leper in society. They already did it in NY for cigarettes and alcohol. You can have no simple pleasures in NY unless you pay a huge tax and the government reaps the benefits. Of course not too many people are going to say anything because this tax won’t effect them. Not to mention they won’t be able to traffic this tax. Strippers do so many private parties and it’s under the table.

Not to mention, I bet Mr. Ortiz is very concerned about those girls since they ask so very much of the government. He’s a loser just like the govenor. I bet governor Patterson is only all for health and beauty taxes, haircut taxes, and taxing gym memberships because he doesn’t have to look at the ugly fat a$$ people all day like the rest of us! (For those of you who don’t know he’s blind) This state blows … I’d leave if I didn’t love where I grew up so much. It’s always another jerk off from downstate peeing in my cheerios.

Lastest Right-Wing Talking Point: Obama's Doing Too Much

HAHA! Yeah I know … pretty liberal on the whole gay marriage front aren’t I.

Lastest Right-Wing Talking Point: Obama's Doing Too Much

Just a lil convenient that’s all.

I don’t like being labeled. Ny beliefs are in the middle of the road and I take offense to anyone that I even feel associates me as a republican. That’s fightin words to me.

Guess I just took it out of context. I’m used to having to defend my views on here. AFterall, this is LIBERALand. I’m more moderate left on alot of issues and moderate right toward others. Basically the guy that disagrees with everyone. Sorry.

Lastest Right-Wing Talking Point: Obama's Doing Too Much

Sorry Anita,

I don’t have all day to read or watch TV. I have a job that I work 12 hours a day. But thanks for the info on that one. I’m so glad you jump to conclusions and think I go by republican talking points.

So Is Obama Still A Radical?

Alan,

You do read your blog comments! Willy and I were just talking about this. I’ve never been happy with the approach that has been taken in the past and it’s great to hear a common sense approach has emerged. Somehow I think you’ll find the teacher’s unions will be an issue though. See the issue isn’t that all in the union feel this would be a bad idea. It’s the grievances that will arise from teacher’s wh claim that they take on other jobs during the summers to compensate pay. This is going to become a money issue again. Mark my words on this.

But I think that this is terrific for the country. See Willy. a common sense approach that doesn’t involve throwing money at the problem (yet).
