Equal opportunity post

by digby The good news is that Alabama is equal opportunity xenophobic. The bad news is that they aren't really supposed to be: A German manager with Mercedes-Benz is free after being arrested for not having a driver's license with him under Alabama's new law targeting illegal immigrants, authorities said Friday, in an otherwise routine case that drew the attention of Gov. Robert Bentley. Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steven Anderson told The Associated Press an officer sto ...

Every single Republican senator voted AGAINST equal pay for equal work. Why would any woman ever vote Republican? ...

Everyone is getting their panties in a wad over the subject of this post, yet it's a waste of time. The law has been in place for years. If a woman is not getting equal pay for equal work, it's up to her to report it and has to prove it, which is hard to do, but can be done. It's better to have a group of women like I was a part of back in the '70s. We went to court and we won, got a raise equal to the men, and got back pay for every year we were stiffed by the employer. So ...

I would love to see Republicans start "caring" about women, Hispanics and gays, but how are they going to get that across while voting against these groups? For example, how can the Republican party possibly get more gay votes when they continually shoot down gay marriage? From the project: The Republican Party needs to stop talking to itself. We have become expert in how to provide ideological reinforcement to like-minded people, but devastatingly we have lost the abilit ...

Food for thought re year end giving. You have to see this. Please keep these downtrodden people in your prayers and give ...give...give! ...

You reach a time in your life where thinking back over the years you remember things, people, places - some you get sad over and some you breathe a sigh of relief for not having gone there or done that. What's yours? Be as frivolous or as serious as you like - past or present. I think I narrowed my studies in college too much and missed opportunities for other career options. Too old now to go back, but this has always felt like a missed opportunity for me now. I dodged a bullet wh ...

Perhaps single men should be paid less than married men? I cannot believe there are men like this in our state legislatures.

A leaked memo from left-wing financier George Soros’s Open Society Foundations argues that Europe’s refugee crisis should be accepted as a “new normal,” and that the refugee crisis means “new opportunities” for Soros’ organization to influence immigration policies on a global scale. OSF program officer Anna Crowley and program specialist Katin Rosin co-authored the May 12 memo, titled “Migration Governance and Enforcement Portfolio Review.” The nine-page review makes th ...

in the workplace..." Hmmm! What's the IF, and who's this YOU who's HAVING anything? This is his entire discussion of the equal pay for equal work issue: "I recognize that if you’re going to have women in the workforce that sometimes they need to be more flexible. My chief of staff, for instance, had two kids that were still in school. She said, I can’t be here until 7:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. at night; I need to be able to get home at 5:00 p.m. so I can be there for maki ...

Shahien Nasiripour Shahien Nasiripour – Wed Aug 4, 6:09 pm ET The country is less equal today than it was just a decade ago thanks in part to the Bush tax cuts, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Wednesday. "[T]he policies put in place by the previous administration, prior to this great recession, have left us with a terrible legacy of challenges," Geithner said during a discussion on fiscal policy at the Washington-based Center for American Progress. "And A ...

I would be embarrassed if I had shown my face at any of those rallies with her speaking for me. That was quite a disgusting display. Thanks Rush L for bringing it to my attention. ...

I was wondering exactly what kind of "faith" board this is. The poster, Catherine, in the Jesus is Coming thread felt this was the "wrong forum" for posting one's religious beliefs while another posterior in that thread says that this "faith" board is meant to be all inclusive meaning persons of all faiths can post their beliefs here. I guess I wrongly assumed that the use of the word "faith" meant Christianity as it is my belief that Christianity is the only valid belief system worshiping ...

"The Dirty Thirty and the Silence of the Media Lambs" When the U.S. Senate finally stopped Joseph McCarthy’s violent, devastating attacks on American values, 22 Senators SUPPORTED McCarthy. They were all Republicans. When a 19-year-old woman was reportedly gang-raped by co-workers in Iraq, 30 Senators* supported the rapists’ company, effectively protecting the RAPISTS along with the company. All Republicans, these Senators self-righteously voted AGAINST a ...

until now. I just feel worse than ever now. I had my appt yesterday, but that was just to fill out paperwork (initial consultation). I told the girl several times I cannot cope anymore. I am looking desperately for a facility that will let me stay and that accepts my insurance. I cannot find anyplace. I was told by one place that federal law prohibits them from accepting Medicaid (WHAT?). Makes no sense to me. But I am working on it. Thanks e ...

I had to have an open abdominal procedure last year and then chemo. I am now okay, except for my beach ball middle because I have no muscle tone whatsoever. Does anyone know of any easy exercises I can do during the day as I work? I am walking about 2 miles per day but I would really like to focus on my abdomen more, since that is the problem spot. ...

honest opinions, but I talked to him just the other day (I am the one who had to get a protective order). When I told him what was going on, what do ya think he said? He is worried about the fact that I have been avoiding him...did not even mention the fact that I was going to take my kids to a safe house!! MEN! That settles it. Of course I knew you all were right and it was my gut instinct to avoid this person. ...

Thanks to all your messages below. Here's an update. We have a small bowl of food out for her. I just could not stand to wonder if she is starving. So now we know she isn't. She is still skiddish, but it warming up to us. She doesn't run unless we make a movement toward her. If we stand still and talk to her she will sit and watch us and not run. She does appear a little thin, but at least I am more comfortable knowing if she i ...

Does anyone here sell Mary Kay products and, if so, can you tell me what was involved in getting started up, what kind of starter "kit" you were provided, and if their products are actually comparable to department store products? Looking to supplement the income a bit...and feed my makeup/skincare/haircare addiction at a discount, LOL! Any input you might have about repping MK or their products would be immensely appreciated :-) ...

here who are only interested in being nasty, no interest in considering they may just be wrong about some things, no interest in actual discussion. You really are a sorry lot. Good luck, progressives. I am done with these fools. They work too hard to convince people to do and believe things that are bad for the country. I don't need the stress or the reminder of how stupid people can be. Wastin' Away Again in Petroleumville BP’s disastrous uncontrolled ...

What happened to my post Moderator? ...

ask the neighbor, maybe even get it in writing if you want to adopt the new kitty. I would definitely try to avoid that kind of drama. Good luck! ...

Not ONCE since I've come on this board have I hijacked anyone's thread, called anyone names, called any POLITICIAN an unkind name or treated anyone with less than courtesy and respect. I create posts that I think are interesting or will encourage an adult, respectful exchange of information. And there was certainly nothing in this one to warrant the responses that ensued. I don't engage in the flaming tactics and I would appreciate it if my posts weren't used for ...

This is in response to Iluvsocialsecurity post who wrote that it would cost millions to implement Voter I.D. requirements. Come on be realistic. You know you have to have an I.D., you pull it out and have it in your hand when you sign in. You vote. Please enlighten me as to the cost issue of "millions to implement." ...

It was "inappropriate and in bad taste, considering the deaths at Sandy Hook School." I find that so ironic. Conservatives make it gun appreciation day, and the post is removed by the moderator for bad taste. I agree, it's bad taste. But why can't we discuss it? ...
