“Did you notice that it was all WHITE people there?????”

“It seems race is a key aspect of the 20%ers - not an issue, but aspect. It seems Palin speaks to the deep fears and insecurities of blue collar whites who have been the pawn of ruling class whites since the beginning of the country and benefited from unearned privilege. Now they believe they are being passed up as immigrant groups and African Americans are beginning to find success in this country and the population shifts. While most whites are able to adapt and see a place for themselves in this new America, these "folk" see their unearned privilege slipping away and see no place for themselves in a diverse, technology-based world. They see the only world they know, small towns, changing, and they are losing the securities they had. They now have to compete on equal terms and they are unprepared for that competition so they are lashing out. I believe more people thought like this in the 50's and 60's (lets not even examine language from prior to that- it's ugly!) and it is a very positive sign that they are now thought to be only 20% of the country and are seen as a fringe group.”

“We as Dem's get what we deserve. Do you see us out protesting?? No we sit here with our keyboards complaining. I am actually an Independent but would just love it if the Dem's got some ba--s sometime and stood up for what is right. The politicans are wimps and the rest of us just sit and complain. Why are we out protesting along with the teabaggers???”

“NO... we can't do that. Don't you know If the other side is "for" something we have to automatically be against it !!!!

Sarcasm aside... I agree.. and I would make President Obama proud... he'd have the "bi-partisanship" he's been working so hard to get.

Hey.... I think I just figured out the master chess strategy !!!1 He's bringing about bi-partisa­nship... that "purple" America... by getting us all mad at him. BRILLIANT !!!!!!”

“My local rep is Posey. Remember him? He was the one that came up with the birth certificate bill. Wouldn't do any good calling him. I didn't vote and would never vote for him anyway. My senator is Bill Nelson and he is for reform but not sure if he wants the public option but believe he would vote for it if his vote was needed. I am glad to see how all are making calls. I love it people take the time to get involved.”

GrandmaBEE replied on Oct 20, 2009 at 18:00:01

“It is important to call those that are against strong public option. It shows just how many people in their state want it. It will be harder later on for them to denie the truth when they vote against it.”

“I love it. She nailed him and is the first one I have heard that calls them as she sees them on Beck!! However, I would argue the point that he is a recovering alcoholic as some have said. Beck and Bush give recovering alcoholics a bad name. That is why AA is all about anonymity.”

“Dry drunks both -- and the dry is only their word for it.”

reverence replied on Sep 27, 2009 at 16:42:43

“Her point is correct it is not an asumption. Beck has practically bragged about his alcohol and drug abuse past and everyone that paid attention as we were growing up at the same time as George knows about his alcohol and drug abuse. Having a family member own a recovery business and having family that are in lifetime recovery, I can say that she is 100% correct in her comment of replacing one addiction with another. However, I do have to say that while Beck's issue on the surface may appear to be obtaining attention, the underlying factor is the same for all addicts in action. It is about power and control or at least feeling like one is in control and having power. That is part of the struggle. So yes, the media is an enabler in Beck's addiction and while his latest drug of choice may seem harmless it is not and he is counting on our freedom of speech to be his smoke screen.”

“I find it so sad that Glenn Beck like George Bush gives recovering alcoholics a bad name. If Beck or Bush ever attended an AA meeting they would have learned a lot about how EGO needs to be gone in order to live a more peaceful life. Both missed that meeting and look at the mess both have made for all of us.”

“I watched MTP Sunday for the first time in months. Rachel is the reason I watched. I never liked Gregory and so miss Tim Russert. I love Rachel but think it would be too soon for her on a show like MTP. She knows her stuff but I think it would be difficult for her to go to a panel show right after having her own show. Lawrence is great also but that interview with that one Republican Congressman was a little off and into crazy land. Lawrence is not usually like the other's on MSNBC that interrupt their guests even if they are acting like an idiot. He can usually handle them without getting wild. That is what I like about him.

“Hello all,

My name is Pam and I am an alcoholic. I have been sober for 22 years last May. I spent 7 years of alcoholic drinking telling my therapist that until there was a 12 step program that did not use god I wouldn't go to meetings. Eventually I had to go to a rehab just to keep on living. I embraced AA and used it sometimes three for four times a day for years. I tried the god business but found it very difficult for me to "get". I continued AA until about my 18 year of sobriety at which time I retired to moved to the South. I seldom go to meetings these days but I still use the 12 steps in my daily life. I would say that it was like a college education for me. I learned and i practice even without going to meetings. I currently do volunteer work for an organization that keeps me intouch with people who need recovery//help in living. It keeps me in touch with reality. Actually, the meetings in my area are very god focused and I find it difficult to attend these meetings. I do see a therapist on an as needed basis and that also keeps me sane. I believe as I have told many people that HOWEVER you get sober doesn't matter. One just needs to get sober. If it works for you it works for me!!”
