The moment when the light bulb went on in your head and you thought ‘that Jimmy Carter, he gets the middle east’ gives yet another clue into when things changed, went bad.

You realize you are the first here to point out the weakness of going off subject with personal insults yet you also are the biggest culprit of such. Can you say hypocrite yet again?

To get personal, the biggest negative factor in having the BC at Churchill for me, in the past, has been concern over the weather but now, knowing you are somewhere within the State of Kentucky, squatting like a hairy Yeti, surpasses that concern. I’ll have to turn up the consumption level and hope that the weather is bearable.

Yeah, you & reality - not close Like calling me a hypocrite for an opinion I've never expressed, you directly admitting you haven't a clue what I think about it, yet refusing to take back your baseless insult.

BTW - I never "became a Democrat". Still a registered Republican Have another drink, buddy.

No, I don't want the bat crazy extremists to win Republican primaries and advance to generals. I want normal Republican candidates. Not the Evangelical Right, the Moral Majority, The John Birch Society, The Tea Baggers, the Dominionists. All one and the same. Thus I maintain my lifelong Republican registration to vote in those primaries.

Guantanamo Bay or Jacobs field. You make the call.

I dunno. You source a serious threat for universal health care. And civil liberties for all.

Here's a great opinion piece by a college history teacher, talking about how his class was astounded to realize how seriously their 4th amendment rights (search and seizure, citizenship, voting, etc.) have been recently removed and eroded.

(That's right, Tea Party, your rights have been removed, in a very real manner, and you haven't even noticed, being distracted by shiny birth certificates and Muslim Communists dangled before you by GOP-TV)

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/0...ek?via=siderec

A good long piece, with specific examples and detail, but some excerpts:

On a whim, I mentioned that the Supreme Court had decided a few months ago that a warrant is no longer necessary for police to enter your home if they believe you might be destroying evidence (Kentucky v. King).

I pointed out the various ways in which all three kinds of citizenship are being eroded today, not just by fringy wingnuts, but by presidential candidates themselves, by Congress, and by the Supreme Court. Again, my students were astonished. They didn’t know about the Citizens United decision, which gave corporations more citizenship rights than individuals by allowing them to contribute unlimited amounts of money to campaigns. They didn’t know that another recent court decision prevents class-action lawsuits by workers against large corporations (Wal-Mart v. Dukes). They didn’t know that some state legislatures had passed laws this year preventing college students from voting in their college towns. They didn’t know that their own elected representatives had argued this summer on the floor of the House that poor women shouldn’t have access to abortion even in cases of rape, incest, or endangerment to the mother. They didn’t know about the efforts to eliminate Social Security and Medicare.

There was widespread alarm in the classroom. In fact, it got downright loud as students turned to each other and expressed their dismay—but that was a good thing. Sometimes I like it when my classroom gets loud. In this case it meant that my students were excited and talking about things they didn’t know before.

The "so called" Patriot act was passed by the Senate 98-1. Seems like a whole lot of Democratic Senators were tuned into GOP.tv that day.

What's funny is that an opinion piece in the Daily Kos was more balanced than basically any post by Riot. After reading the piece it seemed as though the writer purposely avoided holding a particular party (GOP 99% of the time in any Daily Kos piece) responsible as in his/her opinion the erosion of civil liberties has been occuring for a long time. Naturally this sentiment wasn't conveyed by Riots post. But hey thats what happens when you actually read the links.

LOL - and more balanced than any post by you, too Yes, I read the link, which is why I posted it. Even the part where I directly quoted the different sources of our removal of liberties (something you apparently didn't even notice before you attacked me for, you know, not doing that?)

I'm frankly surprised you read it at all, rather than dismiss it out-of-hand because it was posted on the KOS website. Good for you.

Yes, make the argument that the Democratic Party and those nasty "lefties" have been the ones spearheading the removal of our civil liberties generally. Wait, let me get some popcorn.

How Chuck's mind works:

Riot made a post link about how all of government is eroding our civil liberties.
Riot even quotes part of the post that says this.

But Chuck says Riot couldn't have read the post she posted, because Riot doesn't think all of government is eroding our civil liberties. Even though Riot just posted a post that said the opposite, and emphasized it.

In other words, no matter what I actually say or do, Chuck will freely attribute the opposite to me.

No but if you're a socialist, registered as a republican and find George Costanza of Seinfeld, attractive. You should hook up with Riot.

If you think I'm a Socialist, you're even more clueless about what the word means than I thought

Clueless?

The Socialist Party is committed to full freedom of speech, assembly, press, and religion, and to a multi-party system. We are dedicated to the abolition of male supremacy and class society, and to the elimination of all forms of oppression, including those based on race, national origin, age, sexual preferences, and disabling conditions.

The primary goal of economic activity is to provide the necessities of life, including food, shelter, health care, education, child care, cultural opportunities, and social services.

These social services include care for the chronically ill, persons with mental disabilities, the infirm and the aging. Planning takes place at the community, regional, and national levels, and is determined democratically with the input of workers, consumers, and the public to be served.

Under welfare capitalism, a reserve pool of people is kept undereducated, under-skilled and unemployed, largely along racial and gender lines, to exert pressure on those who are employed and on organized labor. The employed pay for this knife that capitalism holds to their throats by being taxed to fund welfare programs to maintain the unemployed and their children. In this way the working class is divided against itself; those with jobs and those without are separated by resentment and fear. In socialism, full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work.

A socialist society carefully plans its way of life and technology to be a harmonious part of our natural environment. This planning takes place on regional, national, and international levels and covers the production of energy, the use of scarce resources, land-use planning, the prevention of pollution and the preservation of wildlife. The cleanup of the contaminated environment and the creation of a nuclear-free world are among the first tasks of a socialist society.

Your holy grail! What above do you not agree with/believe in?

All of it, a majority, a minority or none will suffice as an answer.

A shrink would charge hundreds for what I have just given to you for free.

BTW Great work lately! Love watching implosions.
