Are you feeling, for the first time in years, positive changes are near?

:shrug:

For the first time in the last ten years (yes, ten), I am sensing a reversal from destruction and a trend towards validation, justice, healing and reconstruction.

What's truly comforting to me is a knowing that, all people are uniting for the whole of humanity in spite of the "games" outside their field. I just feel a growing connection among the members of our lot, humanity; and, we are evolving into the family we were always meant to be.

We are a member of one race, the human race, and are growing our appreciation of one anothers' uniquenesses.

:hug:

FEEL THAT!!! FEEL IT!!!

I really want to see our Dem leaders aggressively holding this corrupt regime accountable, and though there's whispers on the wind...

I'd still like to see more action.

But that doesn't mean I am not hoping right along with you. :-)

,...for them to aggressively push the "rule of law" NO MATTER WHERE THE CARDS FALL.

The Democrats have not only been held to the line but also subjected to false persecution (and, so have Republicans)!

When the Dems get back a balance of power, I WILL PUSH FOR THEM TO BE AGGRESSIVE ABOUT ENFORCING THE RULE OF LAW, PERIOD!!! No foregiveness or political negotiations. These fuckers in charge have advantaged themselves of the liberal "forgive and forget" meme. No more.

The Republican Party better reinvent itself away from the fascist notions of corporatism and propaganda. Otherwise, that party will be a spot of infamy in American History.

The time to play nice is long over.

the game is far from over

and when you think about it, the tsunami over there, the floods here acted like a shocking cleansing that awakened empathy all over the planet.
i watched "Crash" last night, if you have not yet seen it, i so recommend it.
peace

In a word, no. Or shold I say Nay?

If change were to be effected, we'd have to have another civil war. Or something equally as radical. Just my $.02.

...doesn't feel like that at all down here in Louisiana I can tell ya.:yoiks:

Le Cajuns sont mes frères. Pourquoi seul nous tenons-nous?

MojoXN

...the only thing I can translate from that is The Cajuns...I'm in northeast Louisiana and only had some French in elementary school?! :shrug:

of an erstwhile interest in language. Ask a Francophone if I'm on the right track, 'cause I sure as hell couldn't tell ya.

If I recollect correctly, I was trying to say,

"The Cajuns are my brothers. Why is it that we only hold ourselves to blame?"

If you should get a chance to find out how right or wrong I am, drop me a line. I always like to find out how little I actually know, because I know that I like to think that I know a lot more than I do, if that makes any sense.

I could go on,...but, am getting tired,

Greenspan blabbed at the G7 meeting and said that the debt/deficit was out of control.

the Repubs are a total disgrace in no way means that they will willingly relinquish power, whether they have to use rigged ballots or whatever to do it.

I wish I felt more optimistic.

Mooninites, and whatnot.

This brief dose of humor has been brougt to you by MojoXN.

and present positive, attractive Democratic alternatives, but I don't know if the mainstream Dems are up to the task. They have shown themselves able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

In 1932, when the Republicans were being blamed for ruining the economy, the Democrats had an FDR ready to provide stunning alternatives.

We don't have anyone that bold on the scene now, at least not anyone the mainstream Dems will support. The DLC types and the corporate funders are all putting forward these bland, blow-dried types who have no vision, no ideas, just a safe, non-threatening facade.

"drowning government in the bathtub" (but not making it less expensive apparently) have been completely discredited by the shrubco years, as we can clearly see the result. And ressurect the old concept of responsible government that gives a shit and protects you and provides a safety net.

Not only that, Dems need to renounce their share of the national error of invading Iraq.

:bounce:

BushCo is cooking up nuke-war against Iran and N. Korea.

Good will nor good wishes are not going to stop this train of destruction.

Sorry, not very hopeful right now.

I think his putting that crap out into the air is just a smokescreen to cover for more failed policy. I think we all know that the threat of nukes is simply bluster on his part. Well, unless either country did something completely insane that is...

... she said optimistically as she dug into the pile of horseshit. :silly:

...extremely cautious -- given the need for the GOP to continually divide us along ideological lines in order to maintain power.

This was only a pain in the butt before the neoCons took power; but now -- ideological/pseudo-moral division is the default bludgeon at the bully pulpit.

into high gear. Now the rope seems to be getting slippery again. But I'm really hoping to regain momentum from Fitzgerald, so I don't feel like we're back to square one. I'm afraid our planet, our children and all living things are in extreme danger from these lunatics so it is not easy for me to put on rose colored glasses...yet.

,...some of the time,...

Their well-orchestrated "drama" to fit their agenda within the incredibly broad theatre they believed they could control,...is falling apart.

What makes me sad is,....had their spouting of spreading freedom and democracy been genuine,...humanity may have reached for that.

But, freedom and democracy was never in the hearts of these profiteering, abuse of power bastards. They had power and profit on the front burner of their obsessions and put democracy/humanity/equality/freedom in a dungeon. They are that disconnected and fucked up. They believe in their very specialized existence as a reflection of ALL HUMAN EXISTENCE,...pathetic, ignorant, self-centered human beings. Pathetic.

I think the changes are taking place despite our Democrat politicians behaving like zombies. They need to start speaking up.

Is it legal?

Have the voting machines been fixed?

If not, you better come down to Earth.

Sorry to throw a wrench in the works but I think the reality is we are still up shits creek without a paddle.


Just my .02

in jail, and the Dems are back in power. And then maybe. I'll reserve judgment.

to fuck it all up for themselves. Their doing a fairly good job at the moment but they need a good shove. I am not seeing much from dem leadership right now. I don't know if it's the Delay factor (oh, shit, they may come after me) or if they are waiting around to see if the pukes implode on their own. Either way, if the we aren't willing to engage in a little hair pulling and eye gouging, yeah, we're fucked.

of hundreds of thousands marching on Sept. 24. I remember the Viet Nam days and even in my stupid little town in the U.P. of Michigan had a LARGE turnout for an anti-Viet Nam march.
