It's about time. How much sleaze can anyone take?  When something new begins that is run on sane respectful principles, let me know.

Hi all

I used to post on GrateWire but it has become a zoo supporting the low forms of racial and sexist bigotry.  The attacks on Sarah's female parts and functions were the last straw.

In the future I'd like to participate on a more substantial site so I'll search around.  Perhaps you know of one that is fairly active.

For example, I'd like to discuss the implications of Julia Haslett's interview concerning her Simone Weil documentary.  A spiritual conservative could respond but I cannot see how a secularist could.  That doesn't mean they cannot but only that I don't understand yet how they could.

               This article can be found in Issue 5 of Vhcle Magazine.    2011: The Search for Simone Weil
 
 
 ...................design fashion film music art photography global notes life  I asked Anna Brown, one of the characters in my film who is herself, a very committed activist, about how she made it to middle-age with her optimism and well-being intact. She replied - by being in community. It is her community that gives her strength and helps her stand firm in her political and moral convictions. Simone Weil was a firm believer in the individual and herself largely eschewed community. The question is, can you retain your individuality while existing in a functioning community, family, or relationship? Do communities/systems of people always have to grow more dogmatic, coercive, and exclusive over time? I myself struggle with this very question.
 
More than anything, it appears that the mainstream media is falling down on the job and refusing to ask the difficult questions their societal role required of them. Weil's insistence on speaking truth to power and constantly questioning the status quo was what we needed more of at that time, and still do. She also wrote that even if we can't prevent the forces of tyranny from prevailing, we can at least "understand the force by which we are crushed." And in a sense, my documenting of that time was an attempt to do just that. And, if nothing else, preserve a record of it for future generations.



I can understand from a Christian perspective how one can be in the world but not of it.  But the God of secularism is society itself. Plato called it the "Beast."  From this perspective one is both of the world and in the world.  Secularism cannot "understand the force by which we are crushed," simply because doing so requires an appreciation for the collective  loss of help from above for the human psych in the form of "grace."

I prefer discussing this level of politics.  I'll leave the eternal question of whose momma sucks to GrateWire and other such sites.  But where do those go to discuss the deeper questions of politics as an expression of an evolving or devolving society?  Any suggestions?

I don't know about you but it is scary to me how gullible people are that have fallen under the spell of a cult leader.

The Society of Teenage Drinkers and Bar Hoppers is taking notes on Obama's methods.  The bigotry of door people residing at the entrance of a bar having the audacity to ask for proof of age have not fallen under the Obama spell yet.  If they had they would agree with teenagers saying it is the responsibility of the door person to prove they are not underage.

Teens are working on the right approach and the introduction of progressive education to teach these reprehensible door people the error of their ways.  They must learn how politically incorrect it is to question the honesty of today's youth and ask for proof of age.

Hi Logia

I posted this on the Blaze. You may get a kick out of it.

The Morning Joe crew is not alone. I just watched O‘Reilly and two blonde bimbos attack Trump’s interest in the eligibility issue. At least Trump has the character and courage to defend the voter.

O’Reilly and the blonde bimbos are attacking me as well. They are attacking my concern as an educated voter to know if Obama is constitutionally qualified for the presidency. Up until now, the courts, press and progressive or wimpy politicans believe I am too stupid to be worthy to know the facts since I am incapable of an educated vote. I am glad that at least Trump is willing to support the voter and the importance of constitutional qualifications.

O‘Reilly and the blonde bimbos have given me the finger so I’ll give it back.to them.

“O’Reilly and the Blonde bimbos.” Reads like a Vegas act. Unfortunately it is sadly real.

Mr. O’Reilly, We Just Want the Truth!
         
CITIZEN REMINDS “JOURNALIST” BILL O’REILLY THAT HIS JOB IS TO ASK QUESTIONS

February 22, 2011

Bill O'Reilly anchored the program "Inside Edition" and worked for ABC and CBS News before joining the Fox News Channel

Dear Mr. O’Reilly,

This will be dismissed by you as you have in the past, but I just had to write after your demonstration of dismissal of the doubt of the now more than 50% of the American people.

First, we are not “birthers” as you and others want the rest of the world to believe. Unlike you, we want to know the truth. We do not accept an announcement or two that could be placed by anyone or a COLB (wonder if you know what that is?) as proof that a candidate is a natural born Citizen, as stated in Article II, Section I, paragraph 5 of the U. S. Constitution, qualified to be President of my country.

This title needs to be REVAMPED

It should say "THE TROUBLE with BIRTHER BILLS from a PRO SHARIA perspective"

From a CONSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE it is

FULL STEAM AHEAD with BIRTHER BILLS
