Americans hate Hollywooders preaching on social issues.
Posted: Jul 23, 2016
The Dem convention is already a flop IMHO. It will be my great pleasure to give it a miss. I won't have these social misfits, miscreants, drug users and criminals telling me how to vote.

A lot of Dems cast their votes based on the recommendation - of someone else
[ In Reply To ..]just BECAUSE they are famous. A lot of Dems are lockstep pets and don't think for themselves. Sad, but true.
BIG NEWS FLASH - MT
[ In Reply To ..]The Dims haven't cornered the market on sheeple. There are TONS of Republican sheep, too. They just tend to listen to politicians more than Hollyweirders.
I read the book "Citizen Hollywood: How the - Collaboration between LA and DC

It about celebrity activism involved in the American political process through money, networking, image making, and the movie industry.
My parents taught me you don't vote for someone, - you typically vote against someone.
[ In Reply To ..]No way is that crazy MF Trump getting into the Whitehouse. I'm going to register for the first time in years, not that I want Hillary, but that I am scared silly of a Trump presidency. That man is NOT SANE.
That's what's wrong with our electoral system. - It shouldnt have to be that way.

Americans For Prosperity Is A Social Welfare NonprofitMay 13, 2013
I posted a link that was written back in Aug 2012, but it provides a lot of context to the current IRS targeting story. I'm not by any means defending the IRS. Targeting based on any predjudice is unacceptable (i.e., churches during Bush Adm that were audited for sermons that were interpreted as anit-war). I was warned when I itemized one year that claiming a home office was an IRS red flag and to be absolutely within the defiition of a home office because they have progr ...
Egypt Issues Arrest Warrants For 8 AmericansSep 19, 2012
Egypt's general prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant for eight Americans in relation to the anti-Muslim film that has sparked worldwide protests. While it's not entirely clear who made the The Innocence of Muslims, a Coptic Christian from California named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has admitted having a role in the film's making. Still, reports the BBC, Egypt has issued an arrest warrant against Nakoula, six other American-based Coptic Christians and the Quran-bu ...
Scott Walker Travels Abroad On Taxpayer Money While Preaching State Budget CutsJun 17, 2015
Cost of his trip to London? $138,200, according to Walker’s office. Cost of trips to Germany, France, Spain and Quebec, Canada? Yet to be released by Walker's office. Double-standard/hypocrisy in government spending policy after announcing your presidential bid? Priceless. "Scott Walker - he's everywhere he shouldn't be." Well, at least he'll get some foreign policy and diplomacy experience now. Not really, though, because these countries aren't exactly "hos ...
Psychology Of Hate, 7 Stages Of Hate.Aug 27, 2012
I got to wondering once again what is behind some of the behaviors we see on a lot of forums, so I went looking. This link discusses one model, explained by a former FBI behavioral analyst, that is easy to apply to on-line forum discussions, where behaviors would, of course, play out in the first four stages. (The discussion on skinhead groups can be skipped over, if desired, with the actual 7 stages explained below.) It was the last section, though, on how indulging in hate tends to play out ...

Social Groups??Mar 12, 2013
I have been working at home as a transcriptionist for about 20 years - give or take a temp job from time to time. I would like to know if there are any social groups anyone knows of for those of us who work at home. I got into this field because I have a special needs child and needed to work at home. I have a hard time with the isolation of working at home and it seems like it would be great to work in an office, etc., but then I wouldn't have the flexibility and the other advantages of ...
Social Security AgainJun 26, 2014
Ok, I found out last week that a friend of mine is collecting survivor benefits from 2 dead husbands at the same time. Has anybody else heard of that? I have a call in to social security to find out. I am hoping that if that's the case I can start collecting on my late husband at 60 and then switch to my ex-husband's retirement when I'm 62 and keep working part time and collect from both of them. It says you collect 50% of the ex-spouse's retirement be ...

Are We Going To Keep Social Security Or Abandon It?Sep 22, 2012
Social Security is a progressive entitlement program created by Republicans and Democrats working together. Those conservatives ideologically opposed have always tried to get rid of it, but voters wouldn't let them because it has always served its purpose of protecting us from the possibility of destitution when we're too old to work. Now their tactic of destroying it by delaying necessary adjustments has successfully brought Social Security to the point of failure. Like a home ...

Not My Kid, But Got Teenage IssuesAug 24, 2010
A very dear friend of my husband and I has gone off the deep end over the past year or more. He is a full-blown cocaine/crack addict and his family has all but disowned him. He pretty much does what he wants and is not anywhere near the point where he feels like he needs help. He has kicked his wife and her 15 year old daughter out of the house several times during his path of self destruction. Most recent was this past weekend AFTER he took almost everything in their ...

Outside Cat, Trying To Solve Eye Issues AndOct 27, 2014
I wrote down below about outside cat that has eye issues. Some told me about L-Lysine, got that and started 1000 mg a day or so ago. What I would like to know, have some Vitamin C that I was giving him and he seemed to have brighter eyes. This morning his eyes again (after not giving him the Vitamin C, switching out for L-Lysine) were looking a little worse. Would it be any problem to give him both the Lysine and the Vitamin C?

Trying To Add Some Social Context To My (Work) LifeAug 07, 2016
Hello, I love MT despite all the pay and headache-related issues of the recent past. I am disabled so I can earn my $1100 per month (which is the maximum Social Security allows) in a way that's feasible from me - from home. It's pretty perfect. It just has the drawback of social isolation. I am quite isolated and this is not good.

They must have gotten bored with beating up on the poor and immigrants. "Empathy," GOP style. ...
