"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 an amendment holding government subcontractors responsible for the actions of their employees.  “Free enterprise” beat out accountability for a gang-rape.   

 

What kind of human being, much less Senator, champions private profit over justice in the face of rape?  I can only wonder -- would it have been different if a man had been gang-raped?  

 

When The Daily Show with Jon Stewart reported this week on the debate, then vote on the Senate Floor -- including simply unbelievable speeches from a number of these 30 Republican Senators -- we went looking to other news sources to learn more, quite reasonably turning first to The New York Times.  Zero, zip, zilch.

Stuart Whatley Associate Blog Editor The Tea Party Movement Is a National Embarrassment Last summer, when mass protests broke out in Iran following what was seen as a rigged election, Americans cried out in support of the uprising through all possible channels. Some commentators here went so far as to claim credit for the "revolution," as if it never could have happened without American political movements having already set the example. But despite the arrogance of that ...

After Reading The Jesus Is Coming Post And Then Hare Krishna Mantra Post...Apr 21, 2010
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 ...

Hi Everyone. I Am Sorry I Have Not Been Able To PostFeb 01, 2012
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.

I Have Deleted The PostAug 31, 2012
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 ...

My Gun Appreciation Day Post Is Gone?Jan 08, 2013

Another Warning To RepublicansMar 16, 2011
Dear GOP:  If you haven't realized it yet, the Tea Party is not just a game.  In a VERY liberal county, Miami-Dade in Florida, 88% of voters just FIRED (recalled) a tax-raising mayor who happened to be a Republican. He was raising taxes on declining property values while giving city workers raises. The hero in this story (other than the voters) is a guy named Norman Braman. He is the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. He put plenty of cash into this recall effort and helped ...
