For those of you who haven't noticed, I've been removing articles posted in Breaking news that are not news....and not even close to being news. They are someone's idea of a personal rant. And since it isn't news, I'm not going to relocate it...I'm going to REMOVE it. In the past, articles were posted in Breaking news that weren't. People got sanctioned or banned for doing that. Lately, SOME people just post any garbage they seem to have an obsession over, and even put in their own comments. That ends today. NOW. I'm not going to fight any of you over it. It's a lost cause. But I moderate this site, and I will ensure that NEWS is what is being posted. Anything that is NOT news is going to be PURGED. Got that? REMOVED. No warning. Exceptions are ONLY humor, Editorials, and Biker Bar. If it isn't news, it has no business even BEING here!!! This is a news forum. And for repeat offenders, you've been warned. When you keep doing it, and they keep getting removed...keep in mind I'm noting your names. When I have to remove too many posted by the same name ...your account will go as well. No additional warning. This is IT. So, for those of you with an axe to grind, or an idea you want to shove down our throats...over and over and over...this is your ONLY warning: Visit GoDaddy - Start your own website ... focus your obsession there. Because it isn't welcome here. You know who you are. This is something I'm NOT even going to discuss. END of Announcement and my part in any Discussion.

Yes, we were and apparently we're also quite unusual. We're able to recognize change and adjust appropriately to it. Many, it seems, are unable, and/or unwilling to admit that the earth beneath them has shifted and it's time to move on.
You be hardcore. BTW, if you want to replace old stuff at reasonable prices, try Reckless Records here in Chicago. They have a website where you can scroll through their vintage vinyl offering. When I was unemployed, I sold a lot of vinyl to them. They gave me a fair price, and resold it at a fair markup. If you have particular needs, they'll notify you by email when they have it and hold it for you if you like the price. Good people. Record nerds without being jerks. I have a beautiful vintage Sanyo (yes, Sanyo, they used to be high-tech) turntable from the 70s. I got it at a place here for $88, and it's perhaps the best turntable I ever owned, including a Macintosh. (Gad, I'm such an audio slut.)
LOL! :P
thank you, Mark.
Coming from the other side, I was wrong about Reagan (apart from the Central America stuff, which I'm not sure he was even aware of). When the DU types were ranking on him during the funeral, I had to admit he had good intentions and did a lot of good things, unlike these punks. That's when I realized that liberals and conservatives, at least honest ones, have a lot more in common than it would seem. Unlike those thugs, we really love this country. I still think there will be a populist party arising at some point. At least the Dems are backing populist guys like Webb. As opposed to purging them, like the GOP.
i can relate. :P (i like your father/daughter stories)
I'm not selling any of it. I have an MTI Rotophaser cabinet I use as a step stool. I need it, for street cred or something.

I have to concur. The decency here is amazing. I got abused in leftie sites (not to the level of http://boottothehead.com and LP and my very brief appearances at FR) and got sick of the nitpicking crap. This is a welcoming place where you can actually discuss issues. It's educational. I can listen to another perspective and judge myself, because it's not phrased as "believe this or you're a commie." My daughter is trying to jump from sophomore in high school to college, at a Great Books place called Shimer. We spent the weekend there and they actually had a poetry class for parents so we could see how a class runs there. After about five minutes, we were fighting to read the next poem and when the kids, who were off doing an essay contest for scholarships, came back, they kept them in the hall so we could continue the discussion. When you open things up, you open minds. I had never read this poem before, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Here Dead Lie We Because We Did Not Choose Here dead we lie because we did not choose To live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; But young men think it is, and we were young. A.E. Housman That was written after WWI, but it's even more applicable today.
I hope he's everything that's advertised; he seems to be so far. I completely agree about populism. It's a winning formula that neither party can package and deliver. I remember the warning Buchanan gave the Pubbies during the NAFTA debate. He said if they opposed it (as you recall Clinton literally purchased it w/congressional pork) they'd be in the majority for the foreseeable future. They not only didn't listen to him, they literally read him out of the party. Oh well, it’s water under the bridge now. We’re owned by the corporatists, for now at least.
Neocons on the front line.
The operative words. My view is that real liberals and real conservatives are getting sick of this crap. Hillary Clinton doesn't speak for me and Bush does not speak for conservatives. I grew up in a time where both parties got along more or less, and tried to do their best for our country. People like Hagel will take over the GOP and people like Obama will take over the Dems, one hopes. Then we can get back to arguing civilly and intelligently and get rid of the looney toons.
Both are interesting, passionate and neither fits into a political box. It would be one heck of a ticket.
Statist trash, both of them. :) "People like truth, it gives us a fucking benchmark." - dakmar
I like telling them. Before she was born, I had dreams about her as a teenager. She's pretty much what I expected. Difficult at times, but a really good kid. I sorta let her rebel, because you have to, and when she went overboard, twice, I put my foot down. Two days later, we were best friends again. I'm trying to nudge her in directions so she doesn't make the mistakes I did, having no guidance at all. But I keep it subtle. She's smarter than I am. I wandered around, taking college courses here and there, but I never understood how you go about doing what you really want to do. I wrote about sports and music for a few years for almost no money, I worked for a record company, I spent a year working for ASCAP, driving around the country taping radio stations, and all kinds of stuff. It all worked out, but I could have ended up doing what I really like, writing, if I had some sort of help when I was a kid. She gets that help. Subtly, but she knows she's a talented writer and knows I will help her when she needs it. I would rather have died than show my parents my writing; if I ask, she sends me her stuff. The most interesting thing I saw was when she was a freshman, and joined the poetry slam team. The only white kid on it. And she rocked. I was walking with her one day near her school, and two black girls came up and said, Kathleen, you were incredible last night. She nearly fell through the sidewalk; they didn't know I was her father. She just muttered thanks and asked me NOT to discuss it.
I spent three days with Obama and Durbin after the Dem convention, doing a story about Obama for his college magazine. I think he's the real deal, even if he treated me a bit like an assassin. He's got the brain power and the personality. I saw him give 30 speeches in four days (I left at noon on the fourth day) and while they were similar, they were never the same. Hagel is a real conservative, a principled one. He knows right from wrong. Someone suggested that ticket a few months ago, and I think it could work. It shows how desperate the right wing is, the attacks on both of them. They call Obama Hussein and Hagel, Senator Stupid.
Actually making things better for the world, US citizens at large in particular, is not the way one rises to top of either party.

That stuff looks dangerous. Garlic has met its match. LOL.

Hear! Hear! At least the Dems are backing populist guys like Webb. As opposed to purging them, like the GOP. Damn straight. Now, if they would only nominate him or someone like him for president. They'd clean the GOP's clock. They might even put it out of its misery...permanently. Say, Mekons4, in the spirit of junking the false left-right paradigm and getting our freedom back, what's your take on possible GOP candidate Ron Paul?

Great poem. Ya know, the MIC was really on the run after WWI. People were fed up with em and were determined to defund em. Non-interventionism and pacifism were ascendent. I guess that's why they had to raise up a new monster (Hitler) to teach us all a lesson. And that sure did the trick, didn't it?

Most excellent!
The result was a rise in revolutionary temperature throughout Mediterranean Jewry, and a second expulsion of the Jews from Rome by the emperor Claudius on the ground, we are told, that they "constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus." With this statement the name of Christ first appears in Roman history.
The same 'mo' as happened to FR once the blood-sucking zionists got their 'hooks' into JimRob. Oh so similar, indeed!

IMO, not electable. I like the guy, but I like Kucinich too. Unfortunately, you gotta have about $100 million to even think about it. Frankly, I would accept anyone who can put four words together and isn't owned by big business. After the last 6 years, I'm just anti-Republican. I don't want a one-party state, so if Ron Paul got enough backing, I would seriously consider him. I'd like a guy who promised to send the army into K Street and arrest or kill everyone who worked there.
Actually, to show I walk the walk, I voted for a far-right Republican this year. He was running against THUGS in the Dem party here, a punk who was inheriting his father's seat on the Cook County board. The old man had a massive stroke, but still won because the punk kid came out and claimed the old man, John Stroger, was DOING FINE. He was a vegetable. So the old man won, barely, and then suddenly named his kid, Todd Stroger, to replace him. You should have seen the signature. Someone held the veggie's hand and signed for him. So I voted for an anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, anti-healthcare Republican. Because I don't like being insulted.
A Paul/Kucinich or Kucinich/Paul national unity ticket it is, then. I'd vote for that in a heartbeat.

El pee is no better than Free Republic. It is worse, in fact, because it holds itself out to be one thing: A free speech zone, when in reality it isn't even close. Likud Post is not a bad description of what it is. During Israel's war of aggression against Lebanon (and does anyone know why they call it "the Lebanon" all the time?) Goldi was on a nationalist tear. And by nationalist, I don't mean "pro-America". Her first allegiance is to Israel, and she is an Israel-firster all the way. That was when I first started getting called a "hezbot" because I didn't think Hezbollah was completely in the wrong. Suddenly my posts are getting dumped, my responses are getting pulled, and other folks are getting out and out banned. Seriously, folks. Why on earth would you post on an Israeli run site? Because that's what El pee is. Shit, the bitch admits she's taking down names. Like the rest of the nascent fascist brownshirts over there you know she'd give your name and email to the gummint in exchange for the privilege of giving Cheney a blowjob any day! So it's a non-secure site run by someone you don't trust with loyalty to a foreign government. Are you fucking nuts posting over there? Because the way I see it, we're about 1 month away from attacking Iran and living in a goddamn police state. And lists of names and emails are going to mean something. Think. Be cautious. Be rational. If you stick your dick in a beehive and it gets stung, you pull your damn dick out and walk away. You don't see if it will happen twice.

Maybe we'll be living in a police state. Maybe we'll be living in a civil war. And maybe the attempt to start a new war will miserably fail.

When, in all of human history, has an attempt to start a war failed?

Charles I's attempt to start a war with Scotland failed. Parliament made Charles II end his Dutch war. Bush is sort of a cross between Charles I and James II, combining the worst of both men.

I think I missed that. Has she admitted that she has disclosed names?
Come on. Do you think she would? There'd be an exodus from that site that would make the Jews leaving Egypt seem like a haphazard affair.

Leave it to you to have a reference handy to refute a rhetorical question. And Charles I didn't have carriers to sink.

Keep in mind I'm noting your names... She's making a list, and checking it twice. Call me a paranoid, but I'm generally against blacklists and such...

I read the link and didn't see anything about him trying to start a war there, only to levy a wartime tax in time of peace against all towns and cities rather than just the ports, and it looks like he managed to piss off all the lords and parliament by doing so. I certainly see the parrallels to Bush in this kind of ham-handed idiocy, but I don't see the war issue... Maybe you can help me with that?
