I know a lot of dumbasses. Being a vet doesn't exclude someone from being a dumbass. Especially in the officer category... As for the OP, I think that the Republicans need to stop allowing the religious right to define what a conservative politician is.

It appears that a post or 3 got pulled so if there's no context for this one, just fill in the blanks y'all. Rich, I'll tell you the same thing I told Sanity. Thanks for your sevice.

Leaves only Port Merion. That's where she is, final answer.

quote: One is run by a church that I don't have any sort of contact with, but the other is operated by a really decent sort of guy that I do know. His central focus is a privately funded "recovery ranch," west of town, where homeless addicts can go and live for a while, when they leave rehab centers. They are the staff for the food and clothing distribution center. I sit on the mock interview panel he does as part of the job training, and help the guys come up with better answers to the questions potential employers may ask. That sounds like a really cool program! quote: What does he think of government action? A percentage of the guys who come will stay a few weeks, then bail back across the county line, where they can then report to the welfare office that they have sought treatment for their "disease," and get right back on the handout train for another two or three years, while they are running a Social Security disability claim for their incurable addiction. Sigh. I fear, alas, that there will always be some who try to game the system, whether public or private. Did he give you a sense of what percentage of the guys do that? That sad reality acknowledged, I think it's important to distinguish between two questions: (a) How do we prevent abuses of the safety net, public or private? and (b) Can the private sector effectively address poverty entirely on its own?

And thats the only government action.... the only one.

quote: Another clever republican ploy. Anecdote with the people at the bottom of the rung that are gaming the system. As if, those people constitute a majority of the poor in this country. As if, those are the only social ills that need addressing. As if, you demonize someone trying to make it in life you somehow end up making yourself look better. Going to get around to a real policy suggestion or are you just going to bs your way through this DYB, you described the Right's "real policy suggestion" in your post. It's the bit after "Anecdote with the people at the bottom. of the rung..........". Apart from a vague and pretty meaningless call for private charities to replace State-funded welfare, there is nothing else. There is a more succinct and accurate way of describing it - fuck the poor, they're not my problem and they're not getting any of my money.

"It's time to call "bullshit," on the ploy. Democrats love poverty. They love misery, and delinquency, and hopelessness, despair and unhappiness." This one of the ways the losers cope with rejection.....blame others.....after all,the losers are so damm awesome......it must be someone else`s fault they are a loser...... One of the slogans Mitten`s pushed.......ALL the way to the end of the campaign.was"Recovery, not dependency" Fairly craven and vicious.....considering it was Mitt and his ilk who put so many Americans out of work in the 1st place.

about the right wing radio being an opiate, i think u never listen to it so why slander it..you give no examples, just a deprecate comment..not good enough..very small, narrow minded...as many Dems, libs and independents and libertarians r on "right wing radio" ..so that would shoot down the generalization..so being mature about it helps..research? experience? best wishes.

quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse As for the OP, I think that the Republicans need to stop allowing the religious right to define what a conservative politician is. To be somewhat more emphatic than I was earlier, La T: Republicans don't know what a 'a conservative politician' is. They confuse 'conservative' with 'reactionary'. Republican Americans cause conservatives across the globe embarrassment every time they label themselves 'conservative'. The American Republican party isn't conservative. The conservatism that it once had has gone out of the window.

I have listened to it. I was a big fan of Beck, even got my mother listening to him back in the late 90's early 2000's. I get Beck's news letter, and I do listen to Rush on youtube when I need a laugh. So, yeah, I can slam it if I want too.. and I do often.

"Scarborough: Conservative Media Lied to Romney Donors About Election Chances" I’ll tell you, if I were a donor, my biggest problem would be that I was lied to. I was lied to by the . . . conservative entertainment establishment, the conservative media establishment,’’ Scarborough said on “Morning Joe.’’ “They lied to the donors, they lied to the base. They lied to everybody about how Romney was ahead and things were looking good in the Senate. The pollsters lied. Everybody lied. “And so guys keep writing checks and find out the reason they went to Minnesota and Pennsylvania is because all of these people that were saying that Romney was going to win Ohio, they knew he was not going to win Ohio. They knew all along.’’

I've listened to dozens if not hundreds of hours of it via satellite radio and continue to do so weekly. I laugh my ass off as I do because it's better than any of the 4 comedy channels. Unlike those who follow the Texas GOP platform, I'm capable of critical thinking and independent thought. By the way princess. It's part of the sig line, not the post. Learn the difference before you look silly or something.[8\|] NEXT!!!
