Were not coming after your testicles, just some of your toys.

Might cut down some of our horrendous gun murder numbers.

There is only one reason and one reason only the Republicans are acting insanely and wont stop......


They want to fuck up the Obama Presidency and right now
they are doing an excellent job.

I have tried to defend the President for 3 day now looking for
a post or blog which would explain his lunacy on his S.S stance.
Some kind of cool move that we all have witnessed before.
Never during his tenure have I given up. But I’m about to jump ship.

Just wrote the white House and donated $20 to Move On’s push back!

Does anyone in D.U. have any numbers on the chances of a random home invasion?

It seems that in the past few days this by far and away has been the major
concern of all gun owners. I mean really. I have been all over net and this
is practically all I hear!

Maybe we should be a little less concerned about the end of world and a little more concerned about

this....... From Raw Story.......

The rich Mayan culture will be in the global spotlight Friday when revelers — and doomsday watchers — will mark the end of a 5,200-year era as sketched out in the elaborate Mayan calendar.


But the plight of indigenous Mayas in the region will likely go undiscussed.

“The indigenous population was always seen as cheap labor and this persists to this day,” said Guatemalan anthropologist Alvaro Pop, a member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

“They are seen as a tool and are not the focus of public policies.”

The Maya civilization reached its peak between the years 250 and 900, but then slipped into decline around 1200.

Three centuries later, during Spanish colonization, the Mayas were dispossessed of their lands and reduced to poverty as well as servitude.

Today, there are currently an estimated 20 to 30 million direct descendants of the ancient civilization living in southern Mexico, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, where the indigenous group is most prevalent.


In Guatemala, ethnic Mayas often find themselves on the margins of society, with limited access to education, health care and other basic services. Their native languages are not officially recognized.

If theres an add that tagged along with the article, I don’t know how to get rid of it.
Sorry DU....

There’s a lot of things going on with this fiscal cliff stuff and I was really pissed this a.m......

until I reminded myself that the tea baggers are running the
show for the republicans and are a bunch of dangerous
people who are literally ready to plummet our whole economic
future in order to destroy Obama’s presidency.

They are fucking out of their minds and backed by a few million
fanatical religious idiots.

There are also millions of Americans who are not wealthy at all
who are dependent on pension investments and ( IRAs) including
Seniors,who will take big hits if this is not settled.

I don’t have ant answers for this crappy situation, but I have
no choice but to support my President who right now is being
put in a horrible position. He knows what the whole picture is
and is aware of all the dynamics surrounding the standoff. So
at this point I have to trust him.

Incidentally, the new congress numbers do not change the dynamics.
Improves....but doe not change..

Yesterday, between games....i nearly broke my glass table. I was so pissed off.

Maria Bartiromo are whatever the fuck her name is, was interviewing
another CEO using the same code word over and over “Uncertainty”
fucking “Uncertainty”. Code for our last chance at obstruction.
St. Maria of the 1% lobbed fat rubber beach ball questions at him so
he could answer them only with this one god damn word. He had nothing
else. Really. Then.......fucking Rover came on.......Mr. pledge and salute!

Why do we allow NBC to have such a nasty fucking lineup on Sunday at 4:00?
Anti middle class rhetoric allowed to be spewed all over the airways, without
any opposing views being presented?

I tell you guys, every time we see a biased panel discussion such as this
we should get on it and e-mail the fuck out of NBC.......I certainly did......

I keep hearing that Westboro is really a group of lawyers out to make money by suing

those who interfere with their antics. Are there any specifics on this info?
I realize that they are probably using the church members as fronts, but are
there lawyers behind the scenes...Thanks!

Is that big Neon BillBoard in NYC up still counting the deficit? How about

using it for something worth while, since deficit problems
can easily be fixed with a united congress focusing on revenues.

Instead of counting deficit dollars how about counting people who
are killed by guns on an hourly basis? That should turn some heads..

And don’t get picky with me about the logistics. You all know what
I’m talking about......

In essence don’t extreme gun nuts have tremendous problems with their esteem centered

around their private parts...? There is absolutely no other answer to their insanity!!!
Gun nuts are not the only ones with esteem issues, I have some myself at times.
But I don’t try to deal with them by buying guns, shinning them up daily and hoping
like hell that someone gives me a reason to use them.

By the way this does not apply to true sportsmen, even though I hate the idea of
hunting defenseless animals.

Fuck it, I said it!!!
