He does have the right to say whatever he feels like. HOWEVER, that ALSO means he has the right

to have to face, and cope with, the consequences of what he said. Because the network ALSO has the right to determine what's on its airwaves, and we on the receiving end ALSO have the right to object to what many of us regard as hate speech.

If he doesn't like it, tough shit. Boo hoo!

This. ^^^

I loved his "Cosmos" series.

Miss him a lot. He was such a bright light.

Yes, ma'am!

I always enjoy your posts, sheshe2! And Thank God for this President. I don't even want to think about the alternative.

Dayum! Look at those girls!

They're so tall - so grown up! Yikes! Where'd the time go? Long-stemmed American Beauties!

I'm glad he gets a vacation! Criminy! If ANYONE deserves some R&R, that poor soul does. I don't think there's ever been a president this picked-on - at least within my memory. Even more than President Clinton and the bastards never let up on him, either.

No worries, diabeticman! Just take full advantage of whatever time you have left with your

grandma. If it helps to let off steam here, then BY ALL MEANS!!!!!

LOTS of nice strong shoulders and large ears ready to hear and eyes ready to read. And many of us have been through that miserable situation of watching an elderly loved one waste away. So you'll find plenty of sympathy - and empathy.

Welcome to DU, fierywoman!

Glad you're here! Only problem with that is - they'd pay more attention to that other job and we want them working singlemindedly for us. But your basic idea is sound as can be. They should know and taste and feel how the Least of These lives, up close 'n' personal. They don't have any way to sympathize or empathize. Maybe it's time they learned what the really difficult kind of "public dole" is, rather than the cushy taxpayer-funded version they enjoy now. Walk in the other guy's shoes. And then see what you think about that austerity and trickle-down crap!

"White Christmas" by the Drifters!

GREAT story!

I love these things! Thanks for posting it, LiberalArkie! We need more stories like this. There's so much that can rob us of faith in our fellow humans. Stories like this one restore the spirit!

I sure hope you're correct!

Liking your predictions a LOT, 1StrongBlackMan! I hope it is indeed the long game. I've certainly been disappointed by our Dems before. I hope for all our sakes they're gonna show some brains, shrewdness, AND guts in the new year!
