NOT Funny Sara...

March Madness battles rage! My family and I join millions of Americans enjoying college basketball’s finest through March Madness. Underdogs always get my vote as we watch intense competition bring out the best in these accomplished teams.

The Final Four is an intense, contested series (kind of like a heated, competitive primary election), so best of luck to all teams, and watch for this principle lived out: the team that wins is the team that wants it more.

To the teams that desire making it this far next year: Gear up! In the battle, set your sights on next season’s targets! From the shot across the bow – the first second’s tip-off – your leaders will be in the enemy’s crosshairs, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won’t win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.

Focus on the goal and fight for it. If the gate is closed, go over the fence. If the fence is too high, pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, parachute in. If the other side tries to push back, your attitude should be “go for it.” Get in their faces and argue with them. (Sound familiar?!) Every possession is a battle; you’ll only win the war if you’ve picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!

- Sarah Palin

Is this funny? Maybe... but to the people who see her as a leader ... they take this kind of stuff to heart. They take this kind of Cutesy wording and give it a deeper, more serious and scary meaning. It's a call to arms. It's a call to fight. It's saying that aggression is good

This post is not about Basketball.... and anyone who thinks it is... well...

To those people on the receiving end of the hatred and aggression you spawn... it's not cute or funny Sara.... but it does show that being flippant and mocking is your best asset.

Violence that is being fueled by your attempt at humor is not funny. And if there were actual word police... you'd be in jail for the rest of your life.

Bill Maher.."There Will Be No Cooperation For the Rest of the Year"...

For those of you who don't know who Bill Maher is or get HBO here is a copy of his segment called New Rule


Please note this is a show on cable and there is lots of cursing and adult content... but it's also really funny....

New Rule.... You Can't Use "There Will Be No Cooperation for the Rest of the Year"... as a threat if there was no cooperation in the first half of the year. Here's a word the president should take out of his teleprompter: bipartisanship. People only care about that in theory, not in practice. The best thing that's happened this year is when President Obama finally realized this and said, "Kiss my black *ss, we're going it alone, George W. Bush style."

Two months ago, conservative Fred Barnes wrote, "The health care bill is dead with not the slightest prospect of resurrection." Well, if it's dead, you just got your ass kicked by a zombie named Nancy Pelosi. Seriously, the last time a Democrat showed balls like that John Edwards' girlfriend was filming it. Make all the botox jokes and she-shops-too-much jokes you want, but this is the biggest political victory a woman has ever achieved in America. Yes, Nancy Pelosi likes nice clothes. So does Sarah Palin. The difference is Nancy Pelosi pays for hers.

But even before the Democrats got to take a single victory lap they were already being warned not to get used to the feeling, and not to get drunk with power. I disagree. All you Democrats: do a shot, and then do another. Get drunk on this feeling of not backing down and doing what you came to Washington to do.

Democrats should not listen to the people who are now saying they shouldn't attempt anything else big for a while because health care was such a bruising battle. Wrong -- because I learned something watching the lying bullies of the Right lose this one: when they're losing, they squeal like a pig. They kept saying things like, the bill was being "shoved down our throats" or the Democrats were "ramming it through." The bill was so big they couldn't take it all at once!

And I realized listening to this rhetoric that it reminded me of something: Tiger Woods' text messages to his mistress that were made public last week, where he said, and I quote, "I want to treat you rough, throw you around, spank and slap you and make you sore. I want to hold you down and choke you while I f*ck that ass that I own. Then I'm going to tell you to shut the f*ck up while I slap your face and pull your hair for making noise." Unquote.

And this, I believe, perfectly represents the attitude Democrats should now have in their dealings with the Republican Party: "Shut the f*ck up while I slap your face for making noise -- now pass a cap-and-trade law, you stupid bitch, and repeat after me: 'global warming is real!'"

The Democrats need to push the rest of their agenda while their boot is on the neck of the greedy, poisonous old reptile. Who cares if a cap-and-trade bill isn't popular, neither was health care. Your poll numbers may have descended a bit, but so did your testicles.

So don't stop: we need to regulate the banks, we need to overhaul immigration, we need to end corporate welfare including at the Pentagon, we need to bring troops home from... everywhere, we need to end the drug war, and we need to put terrorists and other human rights violators on trial in civilian courts, starting with Dick Cheney.

Democrats in America were put on earth to do one thing: drag the ignorant hillbilly half of this country into the next century, which in their case is the 19th -- and by passing health care, the Democrats saved their brand.

A few months ago, Sarah Palin mockingly asked them, "How's that hopey-changey thing working out for ya?"

Great, actually. Thanks for asking. And how's that whole Hooked on Phonics thing working out for you?
_________________________

Well Said Bill! What is obvious to most people is the fact that for the entire Bush/Cheney Administration... we had so much stuff shoved down our throats on a daily basis that it almost choked us.

We had our civil rights taken away from us, the Constitution was constantly trampled on, we were lied to about Weapons of Mass Destruction just so Haliburton would get a kick ass contract to rebuild what we blew up, we tortured people. Banks and Big companies were allowed to run a muck sending us into a free fall financially that will take a generation to fix, an entire city drowned and died from hunger and thirst while "Brownie" was told what a Good Job he did, but Democrats Shoved Health Care down our throats... ????? Give me a break!!!!

Next thing you know those lousy Democratic Bastards might Solve World Peace because our President knows how to be a Diplomat (you good for nothing Nobel Peace Prize winner!) and find a cure for Cancer and Diabetes with stem cell research and help Save the Planet with alternative fuel ideas, and solve our dependence on oil from other countries and End Childhood Obesity with Michelle's Program for kids to Move... yeah...

If something is being shoved down your throat... just hope it's a Democrat doing it...

Lesson in NON Violent Politics

Ahhh... Martin Luther King... Gandhi... Nelson Mandela... Maybe we need a History Review....

As Human Beings, we have faced countless instances of turmoil and upheaval. This current Up Roar over Health Care in America will be added to the long list of moments in History when people had a chance to show Who they are Socially. Here is a great Video that gives some perspective on the subject of Civility in our Culture... Check it out... leave your comments!

TED Talks!

I am addicted to this site! TED If you haven't been there yet... take a few minutes now. It illustrates my belief in Grass Roots organizations that will Change the World we live in.

I found it because I love Jamie Oliver and was sent this Video on TED of him speaking to the issue of health in America and how we are killing our children with horrid food being served to them in schools. Take a look...

Republicans Please Speak up!

I want to hear from Rational Intelligent Republicans. You're out there... I Know you are... Don't let the Fringe Lunatics speak For You ...Someone has to say Enough is Enough.

Violent Republicans

Note: Adult content (cursing in video)

I understand feeling passionate about your beliefs... which is why I am writing this Blog! I get it! But this is case and point why Republicans are feared.... Cause so many of them are violent.

Excuse me Senator McCain..... shall we talk about the Bush people doing things in a sleazy fashion? How about the War we got into that was brought about by Bush out right lying to Americans... talk about sleazy... what Balls!

What exactly was done in a sleazy fashion? You mean the Bill that was Voted on?

Video of Our President Explaining Health Care

This Video was edited to present the health Care Plan in just 4 minutes.

Decide for yourself...

And as my brilliant husband pointed out to me last night... Give the plan a chance. If it doesn't work then we fix it. That's Democracy. You take something that isn't working for the people and change it. That's what we do in this country.

Will this plan have flaws? Of Course it will!!! No system is perfect, no system comes without cost.

Health Care Costs are crippling this country and literally killing people who can't pay to get help. That's a Flawed System!!!! Why keep a system that isn't working and is literally bleeding us all dry....

We have to start somewhere.... so Give it a Chance before you decide about something that hasn't even been implemented yet...

Is This an American Terrorist?

Well I am just stunned. Here is a Map of America with indicators on it exactly like those of the Cross Hairs on a gun-sight. What do they indicate you ask? They indicate the Districts where Democratic Politicians are located. You know... the ones who voted for Health Care....
She literally.... NOT figuratively .... is mapping out who to target! Is she a Great Patriot... or an American Terrorist.... you decide

If you oppose the Health Care Plan... that's fine.... it's your right as an American to do that. If you oppose the current Administration that's fine too, cause in a Democracy we vote! This is Bullying...

The American Public overwhelmingly voted for the The Democratic Party, much to the disgust of a Minority of people... Instead of waiting on or relying on the American Democratic process of voting to show their disapproval... instead these Right Wing Terrorists are becoming violent.

Democrats did not throw bricks through windows.... or spit on elected officials while calling them the "N" word, or tell people to wipe out Republicans like Rush Limbaugh is calling for. They didn't place nooses and coffins on peoples lawns. They didn't blatantly create maps indicating which people to target with pictures of cross-hairs... sending a clear message of what to do.

The only way to counteract Hateful and Ignorant Speech and the violent acts that result from it... is with Intelligent Peaceful Speech

Be Grateful for Kooks!

Today I was thinking about all the people who sort of "motivated" me to begin this Blog and began wondering why I was really doing this.
Who pushed me to the edge? What made me say I have to speak up .... was it this buffoon? Oh Yeah.... but he's only one of them.

It occurred to me that in a round about way.... I should actually be thankful for the Kooks that are out there right now... you know... Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilley...

It's because of their radical, hate filled, intolerant, close minded propaganda that I feel like I can't just continue to be a by-stander in the country any longer. I feel like there isn't a minute to waste because it's these people that I view as the real threat to this country. They are the bullies in the school yard. They are the ones who will destroy this country... but that's only if we let them.This is a great country... I love this country with all my heart. It's chock full of people from every single walk of life, which is why it is so great... it's Diversity at it's best...


Diversity is what makes Life Thrive

Even in Nature, when any species of plant or animal is up against impossible odds, and their way of life is being threatened... they adapt... they evolve.

It's the threat of being destroyed that cultivates Evolution. Without that threat...there wouldn't be

Shells to protect you....
Wings to let you fly ...
Legs to let you run ....

Or Flowers that protect their tender buds with sharpened thorns...

And the list goes on....

If you think about it in those terms.... the threat of being crushed, the threat of being caught and the threat of being eaten .. all of it... can actually bring about beauty and strength and help Diversify life on our tiny blue planet.

So Thank You Glen Beck... and thanks to all the people who will force us to rally...

So bring out all the nuts jobs, kooks and sociopaths you have on hand... because in the end it will be a catalyst for change.


Most Liberals and Hippies are known for being rather quite, passive people... but I have a feeling that is about to change. Maybe one day people will say... 'Gee... what ever you do... Don't piss off a Hippy!'

.........You Betcha!!!!

Stand Up...

I have always hesitated to share my political views publicly. Those who know me, know my politics of course...

But to put yourself out there and expose yourself as a potential target for any fanatic who disagrees... well... it's actually pretty frightening to say the least.

But it finally hit me... if I keep my views to myself and stay safely tucked in my little cocoon ... then all the bullies and maniacs of the world will only get louder and stronger. If we stand back and remain silent... their hate and ignorance, their distorted views, is all people will hear.

If people don't stand up for what they believe in, then when the day comes that you get trampled on... you only have yourself to blame...

I am not going to let fear stop me any longer. If you believe the world can be a better place and we can live in relative harmony and can figure out how to solve problems together as Human Beings... Put aside your fears and stand up with me.

American Health Care is NOT Socialism!

I consider myself, for the most part, to be an Independent politically, with leanings towards being a social liberal.

But trust me... I am NOT fond of the Democratic party. I think the current body of Democrats in the House and Senate are more or less equivalent to weak, spineless jellyfish.

I feel like the two party system has been replaced. I feel like there is actually only ONE party in our Government and its called Politician

All the elected Democrats & Republicans (with few exceptions) basically have the same exact agenda IMHO. They are there to further a career, make money or attain power.It's an ego trip. Very few are true servants of the people. There aren't two sides... two differing points of view working on doing what's best for our country any more. Our current political system is comprised of individuals seeking office for their own personal gain. Few represent the actual People that elected them.

And if they aren't in it for their own gain, they turn into something worse... puppets. Eventually, the "weak willed" officials cave into the pressure of the almighty Lobbyists and at some point allow themselves to be manipulated as puppets for big business...

Even though I have liberal Social views.... I am Conservative when it comes to other things. Thus I view myself as an Independent. But alas... those views are for another day! Today... I am hot & bothered over one thing...

....the current uproar over Health Care!

Someone please explain to me WHAT the problem is with the GOP? I want to understand it. I want to understand what the opposition is over this. So far, the only argument I see being presented by the GOP is based on hatred for other people. If it's NOT.. what else is it? Please enlighten me....

If it's about MONEY.... then why didn't they stop Bush from bleeding us dry? We are currently paying for the multitude of horrid mistakes Bush made (now and probably for the next 50- 100 years) .... yet "Obama" gets the blame as if it's HIS fault.... give me a break! It's insane.

If it's about Keeping Government OUT of our lives... then why do they want to see Laws created..... dictating how we live our life?

If you want Government out of our lives.... then don't ban Gay marriage! How does that hurt anyone? In any way? If you don't believe marriage can exist between the same sex... here's an idea... don't marry someone of the same sex.

If you want Government OUT of our lives, then stay out of the medical decisions and the moral choices women have been making for hundreds of generations.

Don't THOSE two things invade the most intimate, private, personal aspect of our lives?

Okay so it's not about any of those things you say....

If it's about the Crazy idea that Health Care for all Americans = Socialism .... then every law that is in place to protect the public or benefit the public is also Socialism. In case you hadn't noticed... ALL Government employee's have Health Care coverage! Is THAT Socialism? Why is it okay for the people we elected to be taken care of... but Not for the people who got them their job? How is that even moral, fair or balanced

If you are a Republican and are appalled by the current behavior of your party and it's self appointed fanatical leaders... please please please make sure these insane people do not speak for you. Speak out against this behavior ... even if it is your own party.

We can't allow the fringe of people that exists right now to keep spewing inflammatory hate speech and in the process pull our country down.

Debate is good... Opposing views... also good

No one wants a country where you can't speak your mind.... But.... what is going on right now is only fanning flames and pouring fuel into a fire that is already out of control.

If you TRULY LOVE this country.... then don't let extremists ... from either side... take over.

Think about it... if you have a child who did something wrong.... would you cover for them or let them know they crossed a line?

I love this country too much to see it be brought down by people who are incapable of intelligent thought...Don't be scared.... stand up... we can take it...
