There is lots of denial about racism coming from the TEA Party supporters (which we KNOW Cheeseburger is).Like I always say "Purr more, hiss less"! And I've reasently added "and keep those claws sharpened"
(that is kitty speak for "walk softly and carry a big stick)"
One never knows what the puppies of the world might do!
Suze,
I serve our constitution, not any foriegn nation or special interest group. Yes, I have considered moving to Iran, with a host of friends like the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Your unabashed delirious love for a foriegn nation has betrayed you. Please dont be foolish and betray us. Have you considered moving to hades and fornicating with yourself?

NEW YORK – The aftermath of Megyn Kelly’s interview with a former Justice Department lawyer over a New Black Panther Party case has made her a hero and a villain.
The Fox News Channel host is a hero to fans who appreciate the time she has spent on a story about a nightstick-carrying New Black Panther Party member standing outside a 2008 polling place, wondering if it reflects an Obama administration inconsistency in pursuing civil rights cases.
But she’s a villain to critics who believe Kelly is promoting a dubious story given outsized attention because it could hurt a president unpopular with most of Fox’s viewers.
[snip]
Kelly followed the story so relentlessly that she perhaps goaded the Obama administration into its bungling of the Shirley Sherrod case, much like a baserunner dancing off third base who distracts a pitcher into a balk. ...
[snip]
... promotion, rather than politics, drives discussion of the New Black Panther case.
[snip]
It promotes, ultimately, Fox.
“This is a mistake that a lot of people make when they talk about Fox, where they think that a political agenda is the driving force,” said Paul Levinson, head of the journalism department at Fordham University. “They certainly have a political agenda, they being some of the commentators, but when you go up to (network owner) Rupert Murdoch, he’s a business person first.”

Why Is Fox News' Megyn Kelly Obsessed With the New Black Panthers?
"Have you heard about the New Black Panther Party? No? Well, you must not be watching Fox News, which has spent the last week treating the fringe group as the greatest threat to democracy since... well, since health care reform. ..."
Gee, what's racist about a Caterpillar dozer on a trailer?

I guess maintenance is out of the question anymore. Just like the state didn't dredge and maintain capitol lake, the city didn't maintain the boardwalk. I wonder how they are doing with the fleets of government vehicles.
If the pilings were bad - replacing them as needed would go a long way towards the boardwalk's longevity. I'm armchairing this article, but between traffic circles, a decaying boardwalk, the lake, off-ramp nightmares and on and on, I tend to question everything the government decides in this state. There are so many big-ticket boondoggles, that I look at everything they do with a Doubting Thomas attitude.
The Fox News host said he is losing his sight, in a surprising admission while addressing a crowd in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
Beck, 46, revealed he’s been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, “a genetic eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss.”
During his speech, Beck told the audience, “I can’t focus my eyes.”
“A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor,” Beck explained, “and he said, ‘you have macular dystrophy,” to which Beck reportedly joked, “Is that the Jerry Lewis thing?”
He also quipped about his prognosis, saying the doctor told him, “You could go blind in the next year. Or … you might not.’”
Taking the opportunity to knock the health care reform while he was at it, Beck said, “I went to the best doctor I could find, while I could still go to the best doctor I can find.”
Beck made the announcement in front of roughly 6,000 people during a stop on his ‘American Revival’ tour.

When did the Obama administration start profiling government assistance recipients for political affiliation?
Oh, and subsidize.

If you disagree, give me a concrete example, not a "He wants to take our guns away" stuff.
I'm gonna let you off the hook on this one Tedster...because if you paid any attention and listened at all you'd already know. No one's been hiding anything from you. Most of us conservatives pretty much wear ourselves on our sleeves.
So clearly you really just don't want to know.
A seemingly nice person with something positive to say.......I'm not equiped to respond. I threw out all the good words and only kept the nasty stuff for meanies on the comments.
So, I'll give it a try .....uh......good for you lady.
IndependentVoter Comment on: Letters to the Editor for July 13State Rep. Brendan Williams continued his protest against furloughs today, sending the state treasurer $160 in cash and this pointed letter of explanation (http://media.theolympian.com/smedia/2010/07/12/15/Williams_letter_on_furloughs_0488_001.source.prod_affiliate.38.pdf). Williams said his $160 donation represents more than three times the lowest state rate paid for around-the-clock care for Medicaid clients who live in licensed boarding homes. The money might go into the state general fund, but the Treasurer's Office is reviewing the rules, spokesman Chris McGann said. Today marked the first of 10 furlough days that many state workers are taking in about 50 agencies, baords and commissions, saving about $38 million in the state's general fund and $35 million more in other accounts. Williams, an Olympia Democrat known for his liberal stands on behalf of workers, said his donation represented "one day of legislative salary."
He had opposed furloughs during the recent legislative session. But when it was clear he would lose that fight, he argued that fellow lawmakers should share in the budget pain they were asking workers to share. Williams proposed cutting a portion of lawmakers $90 per day expense allowance (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2009-10/Pdf/Amendments/House/6503-S.E%20AMH%20WILL%20PRIN%20288.pdf) that goes on top of their $42,106 per year minimum salaries, but his amendment failed on a procedural motion to bring it up for a vote. "No one should be exempt from these cuts," Williams wrote to Treasurer James McIntire today. Williams added that lawmakers base salaries "are higher than the median household income in over half of Washington's counties. All but three (Grays Harbor, Mason and Pacific) of those twenty counties are represented exclusively by Republicans in the Legislature who have called for even greater budget cuts.'' In the end, Williams was unable to persuade his own Democratic majority that it should share in those cuts.
