Happy New Year **Open Thread**

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on January 2, 2009 at 12:55 AM in Current Affairs, Gay Rights, Misogyny, Plagiarism, Racism, Sexism, Voter Fraud

I hope The Fates bring you all a wonderful new year, with good health, with loved ones around you, with work you find meaningful, and with a life lived well.

And may we all have a new year, a new era, of justice and truth winning out; with accountability being the rule, not the exception; with a return to ethics and morality so that the vast majority consider plagiarism, theft of policy ideas from others, and voter fraud reprehensible, not acceptable; that winning at all costs is no longer the norm; that our “elected” officials are held to standards of decency and honesty; may we see the end of misogyny and sexism being accepted, even encouraged; may we see the end of treating too many American citizens as second class citizens, whether based on skin color or whom one loves; and may we have a peace that reigns, here and around the world.

      Delightful, standard. Thanks for sharing. :) :) :)

    Dang, here it is an open thread and nobody kicks it off with an OT comment! Hmmm, lemme think…

    OK, how about this?

    Here is the “take” of a former Chicago Tribune political reporter and consultant, now writing in other venues, who is well-acquainted with the Chicago political scene. He critiques Fitzgerald’s kangaroo court method of prosecuting Blago, and wonders if this strategy was taken to make Fitz impossible to fire for BHO. I think you will find interesting. http://www.swnewsherald.com/online_content/2008/12/123108rh_fitz.php

    Also, I posted this on another thread and Susan removed it. I will post it here. Basically, another Obama lawsuit about this natural born citizen status with the twist of being filed by Berg on behalf of a retired (and recallable) soldier who questions whether BHO is legitimately qualified to be CIC.

    Basically, raises the question if Barry were to request launch of nukes, would the military have to obey his orders?

      Interesting articles. Thanks Joe.

      • workingclass artist

        agree..Thanks Chitown Joe…
        happy new year…

      He’s probably not legally qualified, but he’s backed by the same wealth that steamrollered over the voters to declare him nominee over the real winner. This is, after all, the UBAP – United Billionaires & Peons.

      • socalannie

        LOL! Funny, & at the same time…sadly true!

        But the good news is the NYT appears to be cooling toward Princess.
        I don’t even think they have mentioned her highness in 2 whole days. Don’t know if it’s because of her arrogance or her Betty Boop level eloquence. Keep your fingers crossed.

        • socalannie

          Thats good. I can’t imagine why they were promoting her in the first place. Or why she wants the job. She doesn’t seem tough enough for politics.

          The White Christmas clip (in your comment above) is cute.

    • ATodd

      NoQuarter does not offer any Quarter to the “birthers”. They make this site look sane. You have 9/11 truther Berg. Techdude a neo nazi from Stormfront and Anti-semite Andy Martin. I bet you think they are all great patriots.

        Interesting angle and shadow of the image. What’s up with that?

        • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

          Just as a reminder – factcheck.org is owned by ANNENBERG – ring any bells?? It should – it was their fund that Obama and AYERS ran together.

      The Fitzgerald article is ridiculous! IL has not been destroyed by this. They still play their mobster games and probably always will. If IL is destroyed, it will be solely due to the attention they receive from bringing it all to light because of the sewer rat Obama. Blame him, not Fitzgerald.

    And a Happy New Year to you, Rev. Amy. May all your wishes be granted and may we all work to make it happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your inspiration and wit.

    Happy New Year to all!

    The question I want answered is why was Howard Dean fired? With Dean at the helm Dems, for the first time since Clinton, won two election cycles in a row.

    Terry McAuliffe, who managed to lose both general and mid-term elections, was forced out by the rank and file. The leading Dems fought tooth and nail to keep him.

    I don’t understand that. Maybe Pelosi or Reid will explain this someday.

    • http://baddemocrat08.wordpress.com obamastolemyboyfriend

      Dean was fired? I must have missed that.

      candymar, this very thought about Dean’s firing has crossed my mind too. It doesn’t make sense at first glance.

      Nice! Also, I’m happy to see that Huff Po did not get a nom.

      • http://donnadarko.wordpress.com donna darko

        It was nominated in a different category.
