calimary's JournalFinally somebody asks THAT.
Who do you suppose was more afraid for his life? I wouldn't ordinarily pick the armed man over the unarmed man. Especially when the armed man is stalking the unarmed man. What did Zimmerman think this was anyway? Hunting season? That's what I fear now - from his now-feeling-pretty-damn-cocky-and-justified fans.
No kidding. Astounding - the rift that's been torn open in society.
I guess the teabaggers hate it so much that they can't get rid of a black President that they've moved on to start taking it out on women and Latinos. After all, they're forced by the latest Supreme Court ruling to lay off of the gay community for awhile. They find other ways to defy progress, bless their hearts. 
ROFL!!! The best smackdown of those two yet!
You just hurt them to the heart by asking that!!! 
Who?
They're just two more loud obnoxious, mostly CONservative, and TIRESOME guys on the radio, just stirring things up for ratings. They do afternoons on the same AM talk station that carries our dear friend limbaugh from 9a-noon.
I'm surprised they're dumping on Zimmerman. I'd have expected them to be hailing him as some sort of folk hero.
You rarely see such class, elegance, and dignity as in the behavior of Trayvon's parents throughout
this ungodly nightmare. I'm heartsick - as a mom. That's the FIRST place I go, personally. As a mom. IMMEDIATELY I think of my kid - who's now 21. And of his sister who will be 24 this year. You worry ANYWAY just because you're a parent. Moms and Dads worry just because. I cannot fathom what kinds of emotions Sybrina Fulton is feeling by now. It's beyond imagining. And she has been elegant, composed, and poised beyond belief. And Tracy Martin - there by her side at what seems like every waking moment. A display of family values, albeit a poignant one, is how that looks, to me. Likely those who sneer would claim to have the monopoly on family values, mind you.
I think some of the most noble, graceful, indeed damn near regal behavior I've seen in among public newsmakers lately has been displayed by the likes of those who've been on the receiving end of beastly treatment: Barack and Michelle Obama, and Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin. Makes you want to stand up a little straighter, even during a time when it's possible to conceive of being ashamed of being an American.
Good! Drag them into the harshness of the bright light and open air.
Watch the cockroaches scatter in disarray!
Drag them by the hair into the light where EVERYONE can see and hear, and they have no place to hide.
They've perpetrated ALL of this shit in the darkness. Under cover of darkness and behind closed doors and in secret meetings of like-minded fiends. That's the only way they can get this shit done - in secret, when they think no one's watching or keeping track. When they think nobody's looking or noticing. They wait til they think we're asleep. They sneak it and hide it and stealth it because they know they'll fail if it's out in the open. Their strength, power, and effectiveness comes from sneaky shit pulled in the shadows when others' backs are turned.
So the challenge falls to US - to KEEP the bright lights on them. KEEP yanking them out into the open where they can't hide and they can't sneak. KEEP the focus on them.
And when we think we've defeated ALEC? THINK AGAIN! They STILL need to be watched and tracked, because then they'll change their name, their certification, their charter, their registry, they'll spread out and metastasize and will count on us assuming we beat 'em because ALEC has officially and publicly closed its doors. THINK AGAIN. You think just because Blackwater ceased operations that its mission and its objectives are over, too? All they did is reorganize, name themselves something different - Xe at the time and maybe they've dug down a few layers and set up multiple shadow companies to hide what they're STILL bent on doing, and then simply continue with business as usual.
These people are shrewd as hell. That's why WE have to be even MORE shrewd. We have to get better at anticipating this stuff. Otherwise we'll just be blindsided again. As is happening in Texas NOW. As is happening in Virginia NOW. As is happening in Wisconsin NOW. As is happening in North Carolina NOW. Where else? Anybody watching? Anybody on the alert? Anybody keeping track?
You can never EVER assume that a win is a win and that's that - with an enemy like this. If you think I'm hyperventilating or exaggerating, simply look what's happening - NOW - to Roe v Wade. We thought that was the end of it. How many women have YOU heard, questioning in bewilderment WHY we're still fighting this, WHY we're in danger of losing our rights to have the last word over what happens to OUR bodies? WHY this is still happening in the 21st Century? I'm sure you've heard them. We've certainly seen them posting about it here, and elsewhere! It's because we figured what was done was DONE. Handled. Check it off the list. Problem solved. Now let's all go relax - the battle's over. Hell, with the adversaries we've been up against for the duration, the battle was only beginning. And we went to sleep, thinking we'd won the war. And while we slept, the bad guys kept working and systematically began to turn the tide and chip away at the ground we gained. Until we have the almost complete devastation of women's rights that we now SEE, IN REALITY, in at least FOUR states!
Still feel like snoozing? STILL think it's okay to relax and drop your guard? Unfortunately, our fight is NEVER completely won. We can NEVER stop being vigilant. EVER.
Let's make sure we bookmark this story. We need to keep an eye on this kid.
Colin Small.
Most likely to grow up to be another kkkarl rove. Especially since he was just taught the lesson that as a republi-CON dirty trickster, he CAN get away with it.
We need to watch this dude. We need to keep track of him and where he goes and who he works for, next. Guaranteed: he poses trouble for the future. And because he beat the rap, he'll try this again in some way. 'Cause his takeaway from this will be that he can get away with it so CERTAINLY try to sneak it through again. If guys like him are allowed to disappear, they'll pull this shit again with ease. I posted elsewhere here about alberto gonzales's little pal Monica "I crossed the line" Goodling. I made it a point to remember her. She's young enough to have a whole career still ahead of her. LOTS of time for her to disappear into the system somewhere in some GOP operative's office, and continue gumming up the works and helping to keep the game rigged. She should be kept track of, too. Wonder what might have been prevented if we were made more aware of a young kkkarl rove while he was still coming up in the ranks - before it was too late?
Sounds like that little blonde GOP cookie who admitted to vote caging in bush's "justice" department
with her "I crossed the line." Monica Goodling.

Anything happen to her?
(Cue the crickets chirping)
Good for you!
YOURS is the proper way to prove yourself a keeper of promises to a spouse. You already know more than those religious extremist meddling crackpots could try to "teach" you!
Since when are you politicians entitled to patrol our bedrooms, sir?
Who died and made you God? And how long will you expect YOUR wife to give YOU blowjobs while you think you're entitled to deny them to everyone else. Or will you just go to some girlfriend on the side? What IS IT with these latter-day Puritans?
Virginia, if you vote for this cretin, you deserve what you get! You're already a laughing-stock state, even for putting this crackpot up for consideration of high office!!! Of course, many of you made sure he got as far as the job he was elected to most recently. WTF?
Sure glad I live in California!
More please, Senator Warren!
PROUD as can be - of her! She's my Senator too (even though I live in California)!!!! She certainly represents how I see the world!
