Are you mad yet!

1. Between the privacy issue and the voting rights issue, the democratic base is motivated 2014&16.

and gonna turn the house blue and hold the senate, and in 2016, win a landslide everywhere
and SCOTUS will switch most likely in 2018.

[sheshe2]

2. I do believe that you are right, graham.

The democratic base is highly motivated!

Let's roll!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. But what you don't get is FOX "News" is claiming all the snooping is a Liberal thing.

[freshwest]

7. Naturally, it'll be believed just as all the other Fox 'News' claims...

[sheshe2]

8. Steve "Batboy" Doocy!

Good one freshwest!!

Great picture too!

[freshwest]

11. Another scoop from Fox 'News':

I won't condemn it since I love woo! Fantasy is good as a diversion. That's all that's required to be put on the 'news.'

Reality, on the other hand, often appears bland and tedious, requiring a much longer attention span, and a good bit of hard work.

And I don't believe the aliens would come here just to save us. I'm of the Independence Day genre on space visitors.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. Let's not forget their overuse of the FOX NEWS ALERT...

They use it for some crap about food stamps being accepted at strip clubs.

Stay tuned as we take our cameras inside to show you why this is an outrage.

[freshwest]

14. Well said. And who can forget the Obama is dead announcement and Obamacare struck down.

They have a script written up long before events and absolutely go to pieces when reality doesn't go with the plot line. I've watched them run around like chickens with their heads cut off as a day's events didn't go as they were told they would, with the election of 2012 being only the latest one.

They edit and shut off anyone who might break the hypnotic spell they have on their viewing audience. Beck is really the master hypnotist, but I give the entire team of propagandists whatever respect one might be able for working so hard to keep up that reality.

Except they're killing us.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. "Except they're killing us."

Only in the 70+ demographics.

[freshwest]

27. In the real world, not statistics, they are killing the poor with their austerity demands.

But I understand where you are likely coming from, but am not sure that is true, either. They have brought up a generation more brutal than any of them were.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. Oh really?

How many YOUNG people do you know who are glued to FOX "News"?

[freshwest]

33. Not to FOX, but to the other more trendy sources. They aren't as old as FOX, but just as mean.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

34. You mean the 1001 Limbaugh Clones out there? Some of them are on rock stations.

[freshwest]

35. Guess so. Not sure where you're going with this. See you later.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. I was just being nostalgic....

[freshwest]

40. Loved that show! Used to work with radio stations back then. Before the RW takeover, strong FCC.

Rush- Spirit of the Radio

The only Rush I want to hear on the radio. Before canned radio, with local voices instead of GOP political propaganda. They've taken so much joy, creativity and freedom out of our daily lives, just brainwashing for their owners. What a shame!

The Spirit of Radio - Rush

Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.

Off on your way, hit the open road,
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers,
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.

Chorus:

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah,
Your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity.

Chorus...

For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall,
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen, of salesmen, of salesmen!

The problems then are nothing compared to the gungeon like world that media is presenting now. There was a lightness to communications then, not this swimming in an emotional sewer. Limbaugh was among the first to mainstream hate.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. I grew up listening to DJs who talked about where the next anti-war protest was gonna be.

[freshwest]

44. Me, too. And television that showed what was happening in Vietnam. After Bush, hidden from sight.

And cheering on war like a Hollywood movie.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

48. Or worse, a media thinking that being allowed to go with the troops was cool.

[freshwest]

49. They were celebrating. While people died, their country stolen by disaster capitalists.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

53. Let's face it. The media really does feel it's role is to sell Conservatives as the "serious" ones.

[sheshe2]

20. LOL~

freshwest~

[AnnieK401]

22. Love this!

[freshwest]

55. Feel free to steal and spread the fun!

[MineralMan]

3. Equal rights and opportunities for all.

That is what drives my vote.

GOTV 2014!

[Hekate]

4. Works for me!

[Mojorabbit]

43. And Me! nt

[treestar]

5. Keep talking Republicans!

You get more women motivated every time you open your silly mouths.

[SMC22307]

9. "Yet"? (n/t)

[sheshe2]

10. Yea well,

in my opinion these issues don't seem to garner as much attention as they should here. Sad but true.

However many are Standing together. And we will be heard!

Thanks SMC22307,

[SMC22307]

12. Ah, gotcha. Maybe at one time they did?

Good for you for trying to bring them to the forefront.

[OnyxCollie]

16. Yes, because you used an exclamation point instead of a question mark. nt

[sheshe2]

52. WOW! Truly amazing response.

You are more concerned with punctuation than the rights of Women?
I must sat that is a bit of an assumption on my part, since you didn't rec the OP.

However I can see that you are far more concerned about Snowden. I read your profile~

Yes, because you used an exclamation point instead of a question mark. nt

I do not know your gender. However we all have at least one Woman in our life that we want to protect.

[OnyxCollie]

56. If it was so important to the rights of women,

you should have taken the time to proofread it.

Instead, you offer a half-assed job. Nice.

[Cha]

57. Who died and made you the "1/2 assed" fooking net nanny?

[sheshe2]

66. I stated this in my previous post to you~

I do not know your gender. However we all have at least one Woman in our life that we want to protect.

So again I say to you, there must be at least one woman in your life that you love and wish to protect. A mother, daughter, sister, aunt, a grandmother maybe. No one stands alone unless they chose to. We all started with someone.

[OnyxCollie]

67. I do have a few women in my life that I love and wish to protect.

All would say to change the exclamation point to a question mark.

[Cha]

61. It was obviously a rhetorical question.. and it didn't have a question

mark!

but, you might know there would be some net nanny lurking around with nothing better to do than attempt to drop a turd on this thread that's getting people fired up for 2014. There will alway be those who can't do so they want to bring others down to their level. Ain't gonna happen.

Mahalo for all you do to keep us aware of Women's right, she!

[Cha]

75. Well, I put my post in the wrong place so

am editing this one and moving it to it's proper place.

[Crow73]

17. Getting out the vote in the cities

Will be interesting.
I don't see it happening in an off year.

[lunatica]

18. Actually I'm mad again

I've been waiting for younger women to get it.

[blue sky at night]

19. I had a very good discussion with my Rightwing Nutjob Brother...

He insisted the only way the Dems are winning is because they "steal" elections...it must some meme on Fox of late but I asked him if he knew about the term DEMOGRAPHICS?? Of course he didn't but he agreed readily that Hispanics, Blacks and Women were all wrong...in essence they should all go back to Mexico, Africa and the Kitchen. I then explained to him that none of these three groups are ever going to vote for your asshole candidates again in numbers that will get them elected. Wow, he really didn't have any comeback but boy was he pissed, that's when he went down the road of telling me that Obama was the worst president ever, Muslim, born outside the U.S and was nothing but a (expletive that rhymes with bigger). It was really fun arguing with him for a change. Thank God that stupid White Men are finally approaching Minority Status!

[LuckyLib]

23. I can't even imagine having to hear that stuff in my own family. Thankfully, mine

consists of folks who actually read and consider Faux News to be some variation of Maury Povitch. We may not always agree on everything, but hating folks of color and women wouldn't make sense -- there is both in our family. And gays. And we love 'em all.

[blue sky at night]

45. you are truly lucky...

most of my family is pretty normal but my mother and younger brother....nothing can be said or done for them, really bothers me when the racist talk bubbles up when they are out of things to say...thanks for the reply!

[Hulk]

21. Not so easy....

I wish. I wish the minorities would wise up too. There should be 100% voting against the repuKKKe agenda, but there isn't. The military should be 100% against the repuKKKe agenda, sending them into harms way for nothing more than power grabs and oil, but they aren't. And now women? There are enough bat shit crazy bible-thumpers out there that vote repuKKKe SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THESE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS. They are so lame in their thinking that they would vote Adolf Hitler into Congress or the White House if it meant preventing abortions.

Isn't it time we clarify our positions, and make it damned clear to these ignorant masses that NOBODY thinks abortions are great. We all believe in the sanctity of life. But we also differ in that we believe every woman has the right to make that most difficult decision with her body.

I am adamantly opposed to late term abortions - except when the health of the woman is at risk. Abortion because of gender, or for non life threatening reasons should be discouraged after 6-9 months, in my humble opinion. But I DON'T KNOW THE FACTS, and the woman does. Leave the decision to her.

And as for the poor and minorities? Those that vote repuKKKe are bat shit crazy. Voting against YOUR OWN INTERESTS? How can that be? I understand idiots like West and Mr. 9-9-9, because they don't fit the norm. They are the exceptions to the rule. Mr. 9-9-9 is a corporatist. West is a confused thug with a military history. He really believes the nonsense he spews. They both do. But THEY ARE THE EXCEPTION to the rule. The vast majority should realize that the repuKKKe party has NONE of their interests at heart. They are there to exploit them and pad their own wealth. They couldn't care less about immigrants or blacks or any other minority group. They are "sub-humans" to them. In their minds, Jesus said to take it all, and screw your neighbor - especially if their skin color is darker than yours, or their language is one YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT TO UNDERSTAND. Hate is the name of their game. Greed and hate.

[sheshe2]

30. No it isn't easy~

Nothing important was ever won with out a battle.

The issue for Women has been going on forever. This is not new.

What is new, is Women are standing up. Men are Standing with them. They are listening and they are fighting back! This is true in Texas and in NC.

The poor stupid Repubs tried to beat women into submission. They have gone to far in their ignorance and superiority. There are more of us than them. They fought the wrong crowd. They are to stupid to know that they have already lost.

So you are right. It won't be easy, nothing worth fighting for ever is.

Together we stand!

25. My dear,

I was born fightin' mad and haven't got over it since.

[Rex]

26. I hope so!

Women should be madder then hell and not going to take in anymore! My jaw dropped the first time I saw a state legalize state sanctioned rape. It is still on the floor.

[glinda]

Mahalo for driving home the fact that we have the Power, she!

37. They thought that we were sleeping Cha~

They were wrong, we were just taking the time to gather our voices!

[struggle4progress]

39. I've been mad for years

[Peacetrain]

42. I am so mad, I do not know which way is up..

What the Republicans run states are trying to do is literally tear the constitution apart..

[mnhtnbb]

46. Mad as hell. Hope this is true.

[Honeycombe8]

47. I'm mad, horrified, shocked. I've seen in the last 8 years...

that sexism and racism are still alive and well...and those that practice it haven't given up.

[99Forever]

50. Been mad, so long it's hard to remember ...

... not being mad.

But if the Dems want my vote, they have some SERIOUS housecleaning to do.

The lessor of two shitty choices doesn't cut it anymore.

[sheshe2]

64. Women get my vote.

Every time! Hands down.

IMHO, we are not the lesser of two shitty choices. We are the choice.

As for housecleaning? Who are we leaving that to... Not Women I hope.

Stand Strong For Women!

Every day we get a little stronger. When our anger is directed to the correct issue ~ then change can happen.

Women Stronger Day By Day~ One Voice

[99Forever]

70. In general, I tend to agree, however...

... living in the 6th District of Minnesota, tells me that isn't always the case. Nor would i EVER vote for a Clinton of either gender again.

When it comes to politicians, I'm far more interested in their policies than their plumbing. If they aren't VERY progressive, they aren't getting my support, "D" or "R",
innie or outie.

[applegrove]

51. Women Strong!!

[mountain grammy]

54. You cannot be a woman and vote Republican unless you are completely brainwashed.

[SunSeeker]

60. Women voting for Republicans is like chicken voting for Colonel Sanders. nt

68. You've got to get through to the Stepford wives in the red gerrymandered districts.

If you are really going to make a difference.

If the addlepated populace remains firm in their delusions, getting mad may not really change things that much.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

69. I'm ready! Let's do it!

[yellowblis]

71. yeahhhh!!

Yes, i am mad about love, nature, everything. Actually i believe we all are mad

[HappyMe]

72. A rather dismissive reply

about such an important issue.

[Aerows]

73. Whack-a-doodle-do!!

Glad you joined us on DU for a post or two to remind us how diverse mentally some folks can be.

[NRaleighLiberal]

74. Am I?

This male is really pissed (right along with his wife and daughter).....feeble attempt at humor above notwithstanding.
