• New Strange Details Emerge About Newtown Shooter

  The problem is that the treatment of mental illness has not only been dismantled financially and legally in the US but demonized to boot. Why?, because there is a fundamental fear of psychiatric illness, but more important because the Left has endlessly diluted disability on the basis of psychiatric illness that even people who don’t like their boss think they should qualify, people who had a panic attack three years ago qualify, or as my boss said “there is always a reason for psychiatric disability.”. Well, no not really but because the truth is the real psychiatrically ill exist and this insane insistence on behalf of the unwilling to be redefined as the incapable–makes me sick beyond imagining. Let me tell you–you come into my office, f off– I simply do not give a crap about you.

• Are The Republicans Too ‘Extreme?’ Most Americans Think So, Poll Finds (But Is That the Full Story?)

  GuyFromMaine–continued response–
  Men have a large and ugly history of abandoning their children, refusing support, neglect, and if disconnected enough, let’s face it even worse. They also don’t take responsibility for their sexual behavior. Boys will be boys afterall, right? Here is the rub. As men declare themselves less an less able to take this responsibility, somehow it is also men that become more and more concerned about the horrors of abortion. As a woman here is what you need to know. You don’t take responsibility for your reproduction, then I will. While you seem to think “every sperm is sacred”–well good for you, I need to live my life, have my children or not and if your not all in, then let’s face it, you are just so much white noise. So yes, I will kill your child, because anything short of my being able to entirely sign over parental rights, anything short of your being a real, present, loving, primary parent father so I can live my life–endentures me to you, and let me tell you this–I as a woman don’t see a single reason that I should be tied to anyone just because they refused to use a condom. So who gives me the right to take that life–if that’s how you insist on looking at it? You do, because you can’t be bothered to control your sexual behavior any more than I can in the moment. You call on God’s will? to enslave me? Wear a condom. and shut up.

  GuyFromMaine–Again, you should hear what I am saying. By hard work, education and even more hard work I have claimed my freedom from people who think they have any thing to say to me about how I live my life, and the choices I make–as long as I am not breaking any laws. And truthfully if the laws are inconsistent with my ability to contribute, aid others by my work and financial contribution to the polity (much of which I will never see again), and thereby enjoy the fruits of my own labors–which in the end is buying my freedom from people who would seek to limit or control me based on their own inability to live and let live. Which by the way is all about you and your issues not me and mine–then I will protest those laws because they stupid, fascist laws. You think my aborting an unwanted child, first is any business of yours, second one that you have a valid opinion upon, third disregards entirely the price paid (by me, by the child, the cost to potential income sacrificed for a unwanted child, the continuance of the broken down unhealthy relationship that spawned the pregnancy (let’s face it, if it was healthy things would be different), the tacit insistence and this is subtle, that women because of their biology are not only held to a higher standard of sexual behavior but also endlessly and hopelessly subjected to consequence for sexual activity while men never are and further that the presumption of women who claim equivalent freedom are of lesser moral authorit

  I have to say as much as there are many “Republican” tenets that I subscribe to–the insane insistence of the Republican party to ascribe to a “moral sensibility”–means I will never be a Republican. The only Republican sensibility that makes any sense to me is the promotion of personal responsibility, and fiscal responsibility–the, let’s face it, archaic effort of Republicans to speak to ANY SOCIAL ISSUE, alienates them from me and apparently everyone else. The Republican’s insistence on addressing these social issues has made the central argument–personal responsibilty, and governmental fiscal responsibility lost in the palaver of accusations of intolerance. The Republicans have failed beyond imagining and continue to. For example–as a Professional woman I dictate my life, a right I earned hard study and hard work, and some jackass presumes to tell me what I can do with my body, or an unwanted child? Shut up Republicans because nothing you can say to me matters to me at all. So while I agree with the philosophy self determination, self sufficiency, and fiscal responsibility–the paternalistic, intolerant, ultimately regressive aspects of the offend me beyond imagining. Who among you can presume to tell me anything? And the presumption, on whatever basis, offends me so deeply that I am grimacing even writing this. Republican have failed, failed, failed beyond imagining–where is my party? I really don’t care what you do, as long as you don’t want me to pay

• 50-Year-Old Transgender Basketball Player Joins Jr. College Women’s Team…Is This Fair?

  As a woman I am sick to death of the people claiming equivalence to me. Even if you went so far as to have had your penis removed, and that you ‘believe’ you are a woman doesn’t make you a woman, just as my buckling on a strap on doesn’t make me a man, let’s face it even if I had my ****** turned inside out surgically and took male hormones I wouldn’t be a man. I’m real sorry but you’re not in the club–and you’ll never be in the club. Stop insisting that we all accommodate your “disability”, I don’t care about you. And why should you be preventing me from spending time, feeling safe, and identifying with my own tribe; because you as some stupid interloper insists you are one of us? We all know you’re not one of us, yet you insist we pretend just to accommodate you. How hateful and narcissistic do you have to be to do such a thing? In the end I guess that’s the point, you are so self involved and self important that the whole world needs to sacrifice themselves on the alter of you selfishness.

• Market Recap: Stocks Smashed for Second Day in a Row

  In reply to TruthPolice60.

  Absolutely correct. When the USA is overwhelmed by parasites–the rest of the world cheers.Do we really need to wonder why? American real estate is valuable, American workers are valuable–particularly when their government abandons them and the unions become meaningless. I have one corner of hope though. The truth is that “conservatives”, and “republicans” actually have it all over the Dems/Libs/Progs in that there is a a premium placed on fiscal responsibility, the potential for meaningful individual excellence that actually pays off in terms of income and comfort, that freedom of expression, privacy, and failure are available options. And when the American worker realizes that they really aren’t more valuable than a Chinese worker, and so what justifies the extra cost of an American worker when options are available, then maybe the insanity of the Unions will finally give way to the economics of the planet. When the Unions finally recognize, that people like myself who are just trying to plan for our own retirement, don’t give a good God damn to give to theirs at the expense of mine–then maybe things will normalize. This is the real problem with America, this is why jobs leave, it isn’t because business hates Americans, its because unions and the American government endlessly lie to the American worker, and expect the rest of America to live up to the lie. I worked hard to develop myself and to improve my income potential–unions steal from me for nothing.

  to 6 Flags. So Obama’s “collective” includes the most unredeemable of the entitled that have no idea that money comes from actual work, and can’t tolerate that their needs aren’t met instantly and don’t have any concept of this–ON A GENERATIONAL BASIS!!!. Where as the “Collective” among “socialist thinker’s” is comprised of people who contribute by actual WORK, and were clearly abandoned by the “overclass” of the time, according to Obama the “collective” is comprised of people he supposes were drawn under by “colonialism” and so his “collective” is not so much a working class abused; but a “collective” deserving of “reparations” based on those he believes were undermined by Colonialism. Never mind that successful colonies have raised the standard of living for the colonized as well as the colonists. Never mind that the most successful, richest poor people in the world, are people that consider themselves American victims. Never mind that being poor in America, allows you a level oif wealth un heard of in any other country. This is the disparity Obama just can’t get, smart though he may be, as smart as we are told he is he doesn’t get this. The poor are poor for a reason, the rich are rich for a reason, and if you only look to the US to understand this? then that exposes you as a very stupid person indeed. The rest of the world is not the victim of the West, and if you really believe that, then don’t you ever wonder why this may be the case?

  I’m sorry?Did you say stocks tanked again because “investors fretted about the potential for gridlock in Washington.”?”Gridlock” is what we’re worried about?Well maybe that’s part of it, and maybe Europe is part of it–but let’s face it what is really stultifying “investors” is the prospect (funny twist of language, huh?) of another 4 years of an Obama government and it’s hostility toward business based on anything but the “collective”.Further,it seems to me that ‘collective’ in Obama’s world includes all the people waiting around for someone else’s work to pay their bills as they sit around collecting disability for an anxiety attack they had 10 years ago when a supervisor p’d them off because his/her supervisor had the temerity to interrupt that phone call to their latest paramour and demanded they do their job for the umpteenth time, and he/she quit because after all the latest argument with the paramour of that moment is that he/she was too distracted by actually having to go to work and make some money and contribute to the world, rather than stay home and attend to the moment to moment insecurities and needs of the paramour who was already on disability because of AttentionDeficit Disorder as evidenced by the paramours own inability to function in a work place,even though evidence to the contrary was obvious,like being on the phone all the time with the previous paramour who was taking a mental health day that day and resented having not been taken to

• Chris Matthews’ Bizarre ‘Same Sex’ Quip: Christie ‘Found Love Outside of Marriage’ With Obama

  November 6, 2012 at 10:08pm

  Mr. Matthews is odd. Mr. Christie has made it abundantly clear that he was not seeking any “higher” office, and I at least believe this was genuine on his part. Mr. Christie seems to love his role as Governor of New Jersey—that we love him for that and would enjoy a POTUS, or V-POTUS that felt as passionately about the whole of the US is ultimately about us, not him. That his boundaries are so clear about this, while disappointing to us is again our problem not his. Mr. Matthews weird insistence that Mr. Christie felt somehow “rejected” by not being tapped for VP candidate (which is questionable from the get-go), and further Mr. Matthews placement of this presumed passing over in the context of a romantic rejection is downright strange. We know however from past comments that Mr. Matthews has distinct difficulty separating both truth from fantasy, and the political from the romantic—he is after all “Mr. Thrill-Up-My-Leg”. There is something seriously wrong with Mr. Matthews and there are many of the greatest psychiatrists in the world in his neighborhood. If he is in treatment he needs to be referred on to someone more experienced, if he isn’t in treatment, well then he needs to be.
