We're both children of the Sixties, and were "raised" right. Sometimes because and sometimes despite our parents. My Dad was a religious, bigoted Republican early on, but he "converted" both religiously and politically around the time Nixon got caught. I wish he lived to see the first election, he really wanted him to win. <br /><br />O.T, Rachel just did an exclusive on the shell rig fiasco - Congressman Markie wrote a letter to shell, apparently their excuse was a two week weather window for moving the rig, but the Alaska weather service only does forecasts for five days, and the last time they called was early November.<br />Stay tuned... <br />Anita Winecoolernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-16964990335012033572013-01-09T17:42:57.164-09:002013-01-09T17:42:57.164-09:00You state - I raised my child to always respect au...You state - I raised my child to always respect authority...- One difference for me in being a Liberal is raising children to question authority, to be critical thinkers, to respect but to not be a follower. It has been this that shields them from military recruiters and other authority agents.

My likes and dislikes are similar to yours as well, which is why i am constantly at this blog. I love science, have a science-based career, and totally believe in evolution. I am spiritual, and you are not.

So lots of us are locked into 9-5 jobs because of the insurance. And many, many older 50-65 y o workers,with all of their valuable experience, stay put to retirement, because they or their spouse is just a few years from Medicare. we really need universal healthcare. <br /><br />Add in the number of women who stay in bad or even abusive marriages for the insurance fro self and kids, then tell me we don't have slavery in this country.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-31303026649716679142013-01-09T14:16:55.496-09:002013-01-09T14:16:55.496-09:00I was reared with those kind of standards and expe...I was reared with those kind of standards and expectations and I am deeply grateful for it.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-746245904382104272013-01-09T14:13:14.062-09:002013-01-09T14:13:14.062-09:00Revealed: The Massive New Liberal Plan to Remake A...Revealed: The Massive New Liberal Plan to Remake American Politics<br /><br />A month after President Obama won reelection, America's most powerful liberal groups met to plan their next moves.
