Gallogarden commented on the blog post Family Research Council lies about Minnesota school district bullying settlement
The heart breaking article in Rolling Stone:
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/one-towns-war-on-gay-teens-20120202opened ny eyes to just how sick Michele Bachman and the Family Research Council are. They make Santorum look equally insane, and none of them remotely seem to follow what I was taught was “Christian” behavior. These people are truely scary, and do not have enough misery in their own lives to worry about, to have so much free time to cause such irreparable grief to others.
I was also taught as a child that Satin roamed the earth, and he has surely taken up residence in the minds of the FRC. Good grief.

Gallogarden commented on the blog post Late Night FDL: The Cognitive Dissonance of Puppets
“despite the efforts of the GOP moneymen and operatives to groom them as puppet-like fronts for the right-wing agenda, somehow it never sunk in for them that they were just flunkies who were expected to be disciplined in executing their roles.”
Swopa, I was struck when reading this line, at just how well GWB adapted to his roll. He never DID exceed his status as Commander in Flunkie, it just seemed to come to him so naturally, no?

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Remember in November! by Bill Perdue.
Using the models established in Norway and Sweden, to take back their countries from Corporate and moneyed control, we need to open the Unions to all working Americans. This would strengthen the unions, provide a very necessary way to communicate since we don’t have a progressive alternative to FOX, and convince working Americans of elected [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Atrazine and the Roots of ALEC’s State Data Quality Act by Rebekah Wilce.
Rebekah, Like so many Corporate groups we have to endure today, your expose of yet another damaging action by ALEC leaves me gob smacked. The fact that there is almost no legislative opposition to any of these Corporate interests in Congress or the White House continues to point to the fact that working Americans, the [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi Sued Over November Pepper-Spray by Teddy Partridge.
To have been around during the Kent State shooting, I am appalled that any college administrator is holding office without being fully informed of his/her responsibilities in such situations. For Katehi to have sat safely at a distance and simply observed the abuse the students were subjected to, demonstrates exactly the amount of work parents [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Goodbye Occupy Pittsburgh/Upside Down Flags by Gallogarden.
Thank you. I hope I did you, and all you did for us here in the Burgh, justice. Can you spread the word to other Occupy groups about the flag idea? I’ll pursue the suggestion about the T shirts (also get some “DUMPRICK” bumper stickers, in case they are needed!)…oooooh, and maybe get a run [...]

Great idea! Maybe I can suggest that to a friend of mine who does that kind of thing, and runs a shop here.

Grrreat! Think I could even do that one, and I’m notorious for mixing up my rights from my lefts whenever I follow other dancers ~ oops!
So cute.

Gallogarden wrote a new diary post: Goodbye Occupy Pittsburgh/Upside Down Flags
It was a sad week in Pittsburgh. The court ruling was in, and Occupy was ordered to leave Melon Park. The orderly, respectful, and clean (as possible, considering Pittsburgh’s off and on rainy, sleety days and nights) departure left the square in as clean a state as possible by the group of primarily young supporters. I am [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Occupy Nashville: The End Is (Thursday) Nigh by kyushukev.
It is time for all of us who have participated in OWS, and our local groups, to turn our flags upside down. The country is in distress, and this is the national distress signal. We cannot gather, but we can support one another as we drive, bike, and sit in our homes with our flags [...]

CNN definitely wins the prize, and as far as I can tell, has been the standard bearer for awhile now for worthless “reporting”, no?

Oops, sorry about all the typos, written in haste, great passion (and a soupcon of arthritis).

Gallogarden commented on the diary post PA Must Reads: Inequality of Opportunity in Politics and in Erie County by ThirdandState.
To add just a quick note about the inequality of public educational services in this country, depending on what income area you live in, I have to offer my district as an example. In the last 7 years this school district completely renovated the high school, and 2 middle schools, including athletic fields. Some debate [...]

Gallogarden wrote a new diary post: Meet for coffee in PGH, PA?
It is January 9, 2012, and a few months have gone by since I last posted here. I don’t really know why, I’m often on this site, checking up on Bradley Manning, and OWS, in addition to FDL’s take on whatever seems to show up on HuffPost. Unfortunately I don’t often take the time to [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post They Should Be Forced to Look at This Photo Until They Break by wendydavis.
So we must work to raise the consciousness of all the others, like myself, who, thinking I was sensitive and aware and caring, clicked Wendy’s site this AM, and have been left gobsmacked. Wendy, it will be a long time, if ever, before I make a conscious decision that harms this planet, denies food to [...]

And of course, now there is Monsanto, cornering the global market on seed. Raising the prices, causing the crops to be soooo weed resistent that the weeds are now are beginning to grow like Kudzu vine, and providing only sterile seed, so seed saving is a thing of the past. The poor nations/countries will no [...]

Gallogarden commented on the blog post IG Report Whitewashes Firing of Foreclosure Fraud Investigators in Florida
I’m confused about this “throwing people into the streets” thing. Why not allow these people to stay in their homes until someone actually purchases them?
Which brings up another issue. Here there have been a few silent, no one can identify an actual person to hold liable, purchases of run down homes that are then left without care to continue to bring problems to older neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the city is discovering there is no way to locate someone to fine, or hold responsible for these disasters. Our city, fortunately, has not had huge problems in the recent foreclosure crisis, probably because closure of the steel mills took care of all that 20 years ago. But, it leads me to ask, is this a burgeoning problems in cities grappling with foreclosures?

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Ohioans Punch Corporatism in the Nose by OhioGringo.
Way to go OHIO! I just finished watching the AFL-CIO blog posting that included this video: Watch the energy and dedication that went into this huge victory—and join us. An enormous number of diverse people, from all over Ohio and the country came together to help support working Americans…you give us hope for the change [...]

Gallogarden wrote a new diary post: Finally Progressives Supporting Unions!
It is Nov. 8 and almost midnight. I just opened an email from the AFL-CIO. For any of you who don’t receive their blogs and info, I’m including a connection to one of their postings. The untapped resource between labor and progressive organizations just started to be utilized in Wisconsin earlier this year. Tonight in [...]
