Members Vee Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeah, I don't think it was the affair so much as the nature of the affair, the woman in question - his biographer, who had unprecedented access to him in the field and possibly his own documents and emails. That is a security breach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 I have never considered leaving this country, especially because I would never let those disgusting excuses for human beings ever have more of this country. I see them as caught fish flapping around on the shore desperately gasping for their last breath as the majority of this country continues to move forward leaving their racism, bigotry, homophobia, selfishness, hatred of those who have less, and their un-Christian ugliness in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 One of the FOX pundits said the news about Petraeus broke weeks ago but the media kept quite because they wanted to ensure Obama's re-election. Rubio is suddenly their answer to diversity because now they can't shut up about his rising star. They're now all having light bulb moments because one of the FOX'ers just said they have no problem with amnesty and should make illegals legal but should withhold citizenship which is another issue in itself since many immigrants, especially those who came here as kids, do want that pathway to citizenship. They're just repackaging the "separate but equal" mentality. And in bizarre news, Rachel Maddow just devoted an entire segment to making a cocktail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 The president is responsible for a grown man cheating on his wife while director of the CIA? Please explain this to me. Because I've heard this man get blamed for really horrible stuff, but i didn't know it was his fault the General cheated on his wife and put the CIA under scrutiny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 There is now a woman who was fired from her job for tweeting "Well...4 more years of the n-----s. Somebody should just assassinate him!" She was interview by local news and said she wasn't a racist. Then in a later interview said that if the president were to be assassinated, it really would bother her at all. Well, it's going to REALLY bother her now...because the Secret Service is now investigating this woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yes! I have a lot of friends in Washington and Colorado who mainly went out to vote for their pot and while they were at it in WA for marriage, for Obama, and then just went dem down the line because while they are not into politics at all, they know they dont like the republican party based on what they do see about them. putting pot on the ballott will help get more people to the polls to vote, and likely dem. Yup! Jeb. I think there are quite a few more, lol/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 I wonder if people really realize the consequences that hate like this can lead to. We had a prime minister, Olof Palme, who was the target for the same kind of hate rhetoric from right wing extremists. He was murdered..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 Just want to share this thought provoking comment from the talented writer, David Simon's blog: http://davidsimon.com/inevitabilities-and-barack-obama/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 You would think that right wing hatred would have gone down a little. Nope. This country has a horrible history of reacting with violence and hatred after political elections. The good thing though, the silver lining? That the majority of Americans have decided to move onward from that past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Money Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 I just heard the Senator of South Carolina say the reason he and America like Canadians (unlike people from the South of the border) is because they come in the month of March, spend tons of money, and then swim back up stream. Among other things.... "they know when to leave". This is one of the most vile things The Republicans have spewed against Hispanics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 We like Canadians now? I remember conservatives spewing nothing but bile about them for eons. Is this because of Stephen Harper? Or is it because America now has gay marriage (in some places) and the world's most liberal pot laws (in a few states) so we can't pretend we're different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's hard to keep track isn't it? We still hate Canada because of their health system but we like them more than Mexico because of immigration. According to the right: USA > Canada >Mexico. Of course these people believe that USA > every other country in the world so it's really it's not who we like, it's who we hate less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
