CPAC 2014 Closing Ceremonies

Or maybe just video from the after-party. Hard to say.

1. Great flick!

Just "re" watched this flick again last week. FUNNY! Too much real life from today to laugh right through it though. This is pretty much how I see the repuKKKe party, the once gop. Just a collection of haters and opposition groups to any progress this country makes.

My mother died this past week. She was 100 years old. She's seen it all. She LOVED President Obama, and the Portland Trailblazers. But I can't help but think that so many of the teaparty fools are looking for those "simple days of the 50's and 60's", and they honestly believe somehow that we can relive them, if we just go back to acting like the Cleavers and the Nelsons and the Waltons, even. This is what is holding this country back from being great once again. Just a bunch of sorry, bad losers; that can't accept a black man in the White House, or gays finding peace and happiness the same as we all strive for. It's really sad, isn't it.

2. So sorry about your mother. How wonderful she made it to 100 and loved Obama.

My own mom is still with us but after a lifetime of voting republican, was tickled to tell me in 08, at about the age of 80, that she was voting for Obama.

3. Bless her heart.

My mom has always been a "progressive" when it came to voting, so it wasn't a surprise she loved President Obama. She has a real attachment to people of color, even though we are not. She absolutely LOVED one of her care-givers, Ivory, who is a middle aged black woman. But she was definitely her very favorite; and it was reciprocated quite clearly.

I think it's all in what we are fed with the news and propaganda. It's really hard to turn the ship around, and if you are getting a steady bombardment of persuasion about how the one party is loaded with idiots and hypocrites, you tend to solidify your views where "I am right, and YOU are wrong." I sometimes think all this technology and communication is not such a good thing for those that don't have the time or good judgment to weigh what they hear against reality.

Good luck with your mother in her golden years. My mom has nothing to be disappointed with. She lived to 100, and probably 90-95 of them were pretty good years with happiness and good health. The last few weren't so fortunate.

4. I wished my mommy would have lived a few more years to see Bush be replaced….

One of the last things I promised her, during her last months, was to never give up… Being born in 1914, she sure experienced many stories from her immigrant parents and relatives to raising us kids.

She would have nodded in total agreement to your "closing ceremonies"…

5. Republican Party on the verge of Extinction

It happened to the Dinosaurs of past as well
