"I told you so" by both political sides
Posted: Nov 20, 2013
"But don't hold your breath waiting for gun rights advocates to discuss whether Zimmerman should have a license to carry a gun. And don't wait to hear the left admit that given his pattern of behavior Zimmerman was a threat to people of all colors and not only young black men who could be racially profiled. The truth is coming out slowly. It does not fit all the political agendas imposed by the left and the right. And it can't stop the impulse from either side to say "I Told You So." I'm compelled to say there is no way this guy didn't instigate the situation with Trayvon Martin. He's too in-your-face with his firearms, and his temper is volatile (as evidenced by his prior arrests and anger management classes). I'm wondering if conservatives here believe this man should own a firearm? I'm a liberal willing to admit that his crimes don't all seem to be racially motivated at this point. His million phone calls to the police just happened to be mostly regarding black people (I think one was an 8-year-old?). But of course, his girlfriend is not black, nor is his ex-wife. So, I will say he is not 100% racially motivated. He is also female-motivated. --A leftie. :);
I'm not going to say it wasn't racially motivated, BUT - another leftie
[ In Reply To ..]I think it's more like George picks on people he feels are inferior to him. I think he has a huge self-esteem problem. He needs the big guns to prove he's a man, maybe to make up for things he might feel he lacks. It's interesting he claimed his girlfriend was pregnant when he gave his version to the 911 operator when she was really not.
Regarding Trayvon, maybe George wasn't racially motivated, but I seriously doubt he would have picked on a 6-foot tall white guy, or even a 6-foot tall black guy. His victims are easy targets. And his script is written before he attacks.
He is a calculating criminal and just intelligent enough to be dangerous. Take away his guns.

and hope all of you stay safe up and down the East Coast during Sandy's battering. If it's as bad as last year, it's gonna be a lot of trouble for a lot of people.

Trying To Look At Both Sides (WI Protests)Feb 19, 2011
Okay...so here is my thing. I don't like unions. I think that unions have used and abused union workers all the while saying they are there to protect them. Union bosses have made outlandish salaries and are as crooked as the greedy CEOs who also make outlandish salaries. I understand that union workers in WI are ticked. No one wants to lose money...just ask anyone in the private sector who has taken a pay cut or lost their jobs entirely. It sucks and it isn&# ...

Both Sides Clash In OhioMar 17, 2010
Pro-health reform demonstrators and anti-reform demonstrators gathered in front of Rep Kilroy's office to express their views. A man with a debiiltating neurological disorder was there in support of reform. The anti-reformers gathered around him and shouted "No handouts here!" and other such comments. Incidentally the anti-reform protestors who stated their neighborhoods to the local press ALL came from the oldest, wealthiest, snobbiest suburb in the city.&n ...
I Actually Agree And Disagree With Both SidesJul 16, 2011
I do believe that we need to bring in more tax revenue. I agree with the pres on that one. However, I don't believe raising the taxes on the rich is the answer. That alone still will not cover the amount of money we are spending. I also think that the initial step in bringing in more tax revenue is to close loopholes in the tax code. We are in major need of tax reform here. What good is taxing the rich more when you have big companies like GE not paying A ...

Kucinich Dem On Dem Digs Scare Off Both Sides.Jan 24, 2010
The largely ignored article below is worth a second pass. Conservatives missed the opportunity to agree with critical points Kucinich made while taking his party to task. Could it be his disarming way of taking all the hot air bluster out of claims that democrats never admit their mistakes or maybe it’s because they can’t admit that a progressive liberal can actually make good sense? He is supporting allegations you guys have been driving home for months now on this ...

I am sick of an atmosphere in which Americans view other Americans as "the enemy" and are manipulated by "the ruling elite class" to wage pitched battles against each other, while the elite ruling class makes hay out of the chaos and ruin. How difficult can it be for ALL of us to see that "my-party-uber-alles" can NEVER be a successful political philosophy? How reasonable is it to assume that ANY party has all the answers to governance - or even the best answers? How likeliy is it t ...

US, Iran Support For Dueling Sides In Yemen Raises Prospect Of Proxy FightApr 08, 2015
Intervention by the U.S. and Iran in Yemen is raising the prospect of a proxy war even as the Obama administration tries to reach a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic – with Iran sending two ships to waters near Yemen, as the U.S. speeds up military aid to the Saudi-led coalition striking Tehran-backed rebels there. Iran's English-language state broadcaster Press TV quoted Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari as saying the ships, dispatched for the Gulf of Aden, would be part of an ...

Bush then explained his vision for his new Apple Watch fits into his health care vision: “On this device in five years will be applications that will allow me to manage ...

If there is anyone out there now who doesn't believe that the US has a role in shaping and maintaining the world order, they are hiding their head in the sand. I hope that the next president of the United States understands our role in the world and with God's help can restore some sanity to the world... ...

TOLD YA! We're In A DEPRESSIONAug 24, 2010
This has been obvious for MONTHS, but now finally the "dirty word" has been uttered in mainstream media. (I and a few others have been posting it this board for weeks.) We are in a DEPRESSION, not a RECESSION. The dead giveaway is the MONEY SUPPLY, and if you follow economics then you know that the M3 data have not been reported by our wonderful "fed" (actually a private corporation) since 2006. M3 is MONEY SUPPLY. Ask yourself WHY they would start withholding this crucia ...

At 10 Years Old I Told My Mom I Wanted To Be A BoyNov 07, 2016
I must have scared my mom when I told her I wanted to be a boy. Transgender issues were the furthest thing from my mind. I knew I could never be president because I was a girl. I heard this at school. My teachers always gave the boys the most attention in class and I knew that the same opportunities were not open to me. I even had to argue with my dad that I should go to college--there was no question in my mind that I deserved to go to college. I saw the only thing ...
