JerryB commented on the diary post Even the TradMedia Almost Admits It Now: Nixon Sabotaged the Paris Peace Talks by Phoenix Woman.
This is not new. I’ve heard about this back in the 80s. This was discussed at the same time of discussion of Reagan’s treason.

I guess a black woman hosting 2 hours on a major cable news outlet doesn’t quite meet the criteria here.

Why is MHP not on this list? Is she ever on this list? Does she not count as “Sunday Talk”? WTF?

Sadly I think we are going to be denied the pleasure. I read earlier today that he said no thanks. To bad. Could have been a lot of fun.

JerryB commented on the diary post Three States Pushing ALEC Bill To Require Teaching Climate Change Denial In Schools by Steve Horn.
Go after ALEC by boycotting any company or interest of any kind and drying up their funding.
That’s the soft underbelly of the Right. Scare the shit out of the commercial interests that fund them and they’ll retreat like the bunch of cowards they really are.

JerryB commented on the blog post LaPierre and Giffords Testify Before Senate On Gun Control
I’ve been saying for days that everybody need to get a grip. Nothing is going to happen on this or immigration. At least not in congress. They’ll spend months flogging these two issues and then let it die. Around the margins through executive action is all that’s going to happen.

As good a reason as any to go over the cliff.
I think of it more as a ditch. We go in on one side and come out the other.

JerryB commented on the blog post Boehner Threatens No Votes on Senate Bills if Democrats Push Through Filibuster Reform
If crying and stomping his feet doesn’t work maybe Boner will sit in the middle of the room and hold his breath until he turns blue.
Which would be quite a feat considering his natural coloring.

Legal rights in the military are very different from civilian world. You are already essentially property and if you run afoul of the UCMJ you find yourself in a very different reality.

You can also draw a laser straight line to their corporate profits. If it wasn’t essential for these bastards to make extreme profits none of this shit would happen.
If Corporations are people then this one should be charged with murder,

JerryB commented on the blog post Making Decisions Based on Who Can Talk the Longest Is Only a Slightly Less Stupid Way to Run a Country
It would be entertaining if it didn’t have such dire consequences. The GOP is reaching a zenith of morphing into something new. By 2014 we’ll know what that is. In the meantime, pop some popcorn and get comfortable on the couch.

The filibuster was intended to be a tool to slow something down if a Senator, who is intended to have a fair amount of power, wants to bring to public,s attention to an important issue. It has it’s usefulness.
Making a Senator actually have to use his oratory prowess to sway an outcome is closer to what the framers had in mind. Mindless obstruction is nihilism and has to end.

JerryB commented on the diary post Bankers in their own Little Bubble by masaccio.
This is a wounded animal situation. They know their excesses and crimes are eventually going to come to an end so they’re trying as hard as they can to scare us into giving them their way. Don’t fall for the bullshit. It’s not a matter of profit and loss. It’s profit and less profit. They [...]

JerryB commented on the blog post Obama’s Re-Election: What His Campaign Slogan ‘Forward’ Really Meant & What It Means Now
Seems I’ve been pissing people off around here today. It was not my intention and for that I apologize. Criticism hurts, to be sure. Especially if you don’t believe you deserve it. I enjoy reading the articles here. All of the FDL posters put a great deal of work into their posts and it shows. Many of the commenters here impress me as being thoughtful and polite, even to me when I don’t deserve it but understand this. Any criticism I make is not out of malice but frustration. We have an amazing number of smart, determined people on the left and I think as a group we CAN do better and when I can help I do. Unfortunately, because of my financial situation, my voice is all I have to offer. If that’s not enough then so be it.
