Lost moderates

This is my take, as someone who has lived a very long life (both my enemies and my heirs would say "Yes - much too long!") - and who has observed the political landscape for more than four decades: We have come to the point that both major political parties have been hijacked by their radical elements, with the result that now there is virtually no possibility of finding any common ground, or achieving any sort of compromise. on most of the pressing issues that come before Congress. ...

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 ...

I'm old enough to have lived during a period in which "liberal" and "conservative" weren't terms describing mutually exclusive political positions. They weren't polar opposites, and they weren't even necessarily adversarial. We had social liberals who were fiscally conservative, and vice versa. The political spectrum from liberal to conservative was a Bell curve, with most somewhere in the middle, and relatively few out at the fringes on either far end. Those in the middl ...

The liberal debacle in the most recent midterm elections foretell the outcome in 2016. Note that during Obama's "reign of executive privilege", in which he has defied the very principles of the Constitution, more seats at every level of government have been won by the opposing party than in any two consecutive Presidential terms in American history. Sick and tired of the "tyranny of the minority", and disapproving of the direction that this nation has taken under the feckless Obama, ...

Here are some headlines and articles (I will only a blurb then a link to the entire article for copyright purposes) "Noone should be confused about the outcome of Sunday's vote. It is not the end of the fight, it is the beginning. and - Speaker Pelosi knew the country was against the bill. That is why she kept her members trapped in Washington and forced a vote on Sunday. She knew if she let the members go home their constituents would convince them to vote no." ...

Hi Everyone- I've lost about 25 pounds. Okay, I'm happy about that, it's been a tough road and I still have more to go. However, at my ripe old age of 57, one of my chins has turned into a turkey wattle thingie! I don't want/can't afford anyway plastic surgery. Any exercises that really work? Or how about creams that won't break the bank or home remedies? ...

If the republicans want to put a man/woman in the white house, they need to modernize thier thinking and move into the 21st century. Thats it..in a nutshell, plain and simple. they cannot relate to young people, minorities or women because of thier antiquated views on just about everything. They need to stop blaming everybody and thier brother for why romney lost. thats why he lost and there IS no other reason. ...

I wonder if this has happened to anyone? I really need to vent about this, so if this long, sorry. Last year about June, my best friend moved across country. We used to be close like sisters. In fact, she often considered me her sister. I was her only female friend in this part of the country. She had been through so much with me. It was the kind of relationship that if we didn't speak for a couple of months or so, one of us would call and it was like we had spoken just yesterday. ...

I have tried twice to post a message here. Both times, I have submitted it and it never does post. It always comes back with the whole message box empty. This is something that I am just livid about in addition to all the illegals we are taking in. http://www.wnd.com/2014/09/u-n-to-dump-flood-of-muslim-refugees-on-u-s/ ...

Just grieving the passing of my little Yorkie, Sparky. He was 13 years old and died of multiple-organ failure and hypothermia. I feel awful that I didn't treat his final illness seriously...just thought he was being picky about his food and would perk up quickly. I tried to force-feed him with a syringe (no needle, of course), because I knew he wasn't getting any nutrition. The first vet tried to treat him with steroids and antibiotics, and the second vet said h ...

I don't know what happened... one week I was getting texts and calls and emails from lots of friends, then last week nothing... I had to really reach out to get in touch with anyone and lots of people just haven't returned my calls or texts. As far as I know I haven't changed anything. Maybe it is just a strange coincidence and everyone was extra busy or in an anti-social mood? I feel like I sound childish about it but it has been probably 5 people or so? I ...

I work from home and not a lot of social interaction, so no one has seen that I have lost weight - so I'm posting it here (if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it theory) so I know it's real :) I started out with the Atkins plan and now I have switched to a low-cal, low-carb, no-processed food diet. I'm even making my own stock to make homemade soups. It is a lot of work for just one person, but I am enjoying the weight loss and feel proud o ...

This article by Maureen Dowd sort of rings true. The headline caught my eye and I read the whole thing. America lost in a maze Insurgents undermine efforts at every turn The waterfall of leaks on Afghanistan underlines the awful truth: We’re not in control. Not since Theseus fought the Minotaur in his maze has a fight been so confounding. The more we try to do for our foreign protectorates, the more angry they get about what we try to do. As Congress passed $59 billion in additional w ...

Robin Gibb died from cancer, after having suffered for a long time. I believe now only Barry is still alive -- very sad for their family. Maurice died from a massive heart attack -- not sure when. Then of course Andy Gibb died at a very young age. Remember the disco music from Staying Alive and I loved when Robin sang "I started a joke." ...

I heard that even Bill Maher who strongly supports Obama admits that Obama is lost if he does not have a teleprompter in front of him and also speech material from which he can read and does not reallyl have to think about what he is saying. Is that all it takes to be a president is a teleprompter? LOL. ...

I know the sick feeling you have right now, and it's not fun. Have faith; it'll all be okay. ...

Word's from a Father who lost his daughter in COLUMBINE 12 YEARS AGO!!Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of... Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received w ...

go did go wrong for a couple of decades, letting themselves be swept farther right without scoping out the crowd they found themselves part of and where it was going, or why. That did cost us all badly, but what happened when we lost their stabilizing contribution just shows how much we need them to be good conservatives, to not sit quietly out in some chastened "independent-land" while extremists continue to dominate the discussion. It's way past time for them to get over it and step up ...

Husband does the protein shakes, not for weight loss or to maintain but because he has diabetes and tries to put things in his diet he thinks are good for him. Now, I saw on TV the other day about how protein shakes can either help you lose weight or maintain weight. I am so in need of losing some weight. Have others here tried? ...

Being as my thyroid is no longer functioning and my feet are just another thing, my doctor suggested a stationary bike to assist in weight loss. Never having had one, thought I would ask here if others had used and it helped. ...

Have you ever lost touch with someone you used to know and really liked for a friend, but so many other things like career, family, etc., just made it difficult to get together very often until eventually those times became less and less? It happens, I know, probably all too often. I met a gal in college and we managed to stay in contact for only a few years before life just got so much more busy for the both of us. The years went by. Now, I'm feeling just terrible after finding out she bat ...

I understand why people are against abortion. I truly do see the reasoning behind feeling that way, though I have different feelings on the subject (some of which I keep to myself most of the time). But not even to save the life of the mother? ...
