Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
All I've got to say is "these damn republicans" are so dishonorable, contemptible, villainous, wicked and depraved!!! They are a disgrace to our country!! I see them as nothing more than committing treason as they are doing everything they can to bring down our government.
And soon Sarah will be back there shrieking about things she knows nothing about, for a hundred thou an appearance. Has the woman spent one day with her kids thus summer? Does anyone at Fox feel the least compunction to support this country instead of divide her with lies and hate speech? They ought to be banned, just like in Canada.
"I worked at ABC Radio with Sean {Hannity}," Bey told host Ricky Camilleri. "He doesn't know anything about history. He knows what they give him on the talking points."
The other side of this story is the Dems who sounded the alarm when Bush started this crap, but now pooh poo any criticizing of Obama who has not only kept these policies and programs, but has expanded them.
Rights are not something you can trade for security. Rights are what protect your security. Only fools believe differently.
This is wrong and dangerous, no matter who is doing it.
You're kidding rather get? We are just as upset about this now,as we were then. The Patriot Act is,anything but, and should be stopped. Meanwhile, the REthugs have again denied funding to close GITMO.
You should really pay better attention 8:55, Most of us have followed this closely through the years and are still angry this shit still happens. I am actually even angrier to see a lot of it has been outsourced to non-government companies. Nobody is getting a pass here. The best thing to happen is to see everyone angry. The point being made on this post is how Fox News is politicizing this. The best thing would be to depoliticize this and do something about it.
OK, Jesse, here it is, the next outrage from the right side of the spectrum. Our president will be, at the INVITATION of Merkel, giving a speech at the Brandenburg Gate. And as I know you are a student of history, you will remember that it was ol' Ronnieboy who did his whole 'tear down' thing at the Gate.
President Clinton also spoke there, but they won't focus on that.
Sarah will pitch a huge bitch over this one, and so will FOX and the wingers on the right. How dare that 'black usurper' stand in such an historic spot. That's RONNIE's legacy...wahhhhhhhh
Oh god, they're gonna lose their minds. :o)
--------------------------- President Obama will return to Germany’s capital this month to deliver a speech at the historic Brandenburg Gate.
Obama’s return to Berlin will draw comparisons to his visit in July 2008, when more than 200,000 people came to hear the then-Democratic presidential nominee speak at the Victory Column, a little more than a mile away. Obama’s 2008 Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), used footage of the speech to mock Obama as a “celebrity” akin to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
This time, Obama will visit Germany not as a celebrity candidate but as a second-term president who has built an important alliance with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Obama plans to visit Berlin following a G-8 summit in Northern Ireland and will address the German people from the Brandenburg Gate on June 19.
“President Obama will speak about the deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Germany, the vital importance of the transatlantic alliance, and the values that bind us together,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
In 2008, a Merkel spokesman said it was “odd” for Obama to deliver a public address there, noting that the chancellor had “little sympathy for the Brandenburg Gate being used for electioneering.” Yet, five years and two U.S. presidential campaigns later, Obama is returning to Brandenburg Gate at Merkel’s invitation.
Obama will not be the first U.S. president to deliver a major address from Brandenburg Gate, a neoclassical arch located near the site of the Berlin Wall.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan gave a speech there calling on Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”
And President Bill Clinton spoke there in 1994, saying, “We stand together where Europe’s heart was cut in half and we celebrate unity.”
I have a visceral loathing for this creep, I can't believe there are people who like him. But then I guess that goes for just about all of the Fox news nazis.
There's a difference between a monitoring program that spotlights people here illegally ie Patriot Act and a program that seems to have no goal????
While I don't subscribe to the super suspicious theory behind the newest surveillance, it IS astounding that democrats have targeted the "enemy" with malicious intentions. But - looking at a certain current Pres's history, bullying and those shady mechanisms are NOT new
FYI there IS no difference between a "monitoring program that spotlights people here illegally ie Patriot Act and a program that seems to have no goal" it's all the same shit.
The Patriot Act enacted in 2001, or just after 911, was put in place by Congress and Bush to fight terrorism, not illegal immigrants. At the time they clearly stated that they would be monitoring our communication to watch for terrorist activity. What has come out recently is old news, not something that just started.
As for bulling, I would like to hear an example of what Obama has done to call "bulling".
you got to read this, it explains nearly everything we see today. tho to me the word JUNKIES still applies.

You could pretty much put any Fox News propaganda reader and find a similar quote that reflects the one Pretty Boy Sean has on that graphic. They all scavenge from the same talking points sources. But Seany Boy will always top the rest of them on his distortions and delivery. Wait for the Treyvon Martin case to heat up. Sean thinks Treyvon is a racist and gave to Zimmypoo's defence fund.
Imagine if the United States government wasn't monitoring some phone lines under President Obama's watch and a group of terrorists blew up New York, who would FOX, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin blame for not doing enough?
OT (part 1 too big to post in one comment so dividing it up)
The trial and sentencing is over for the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it... Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.
Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.
Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his 'allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah,' defiantly stating, 'I think I will not apologize for my actions,' and told the court 'I am at war with your country.'
Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:
Judge Young: "Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.
On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutively. (That's 80 years.)
On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years, again to be served consecutively to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you for each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000, that's an aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines.
(continued - part 2 too big to post in one comment so dividing it up)
The Court imposes upon you an $800 special assessment. The Court imposes upon you, five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further.
This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.
Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.
You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the officers of government do it, or your attorney does it, or if you think you are a soldier, you are not-----, you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.
So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and the TV crews were, and he said:
(continued - part 3 too big to post in one comment so dividing it up) Let's get this powerful message out there - not being covered any where !
What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have, as honestly as I know how, tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?
I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty, and admit you are guilty, of doing? And, I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.
It seems to me, you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom, so that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf, have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.
We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. The day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure.
Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America , the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice, is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers, will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.
See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America . That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.
Glenn Greenwald's PRISM story is rapidly crumbling on all fronts. Now we find out that his claim that the NSA has "direct access" to the servers of America's major social media and tech companies is not only bogus, what access they do have is narrow in scope and specific in having to be requested. These companies are coming clean on numbers that Greenwald and others screamed that America needed to know. The truth shall set you free.
...In other words, just because you forgot this was happening doesn't mean it wasn't happening. This has been public knowledge for eight years now.
So how is this Obama's fault again? And how is Greenwald's story a "revelation" again?
