Wiretapping in the USA – Liberal Viewer

I also think you’d like to read this piece by Laura Hollis about this last election. It highlights to me, why conservatives in America are so detached from the issues, and how the seem to need no evidence for their claims. Her views rank up their in malodorous with those of Anne Coulter, though not quite a virulent. This educated women actually uses some derogatory thought processes about other women. And as the post implies she is a religious conservative, because apparently secular freedom for all is “an attack on the church”. I got this little gem in a chain-mail from my parents. But it represents some of the stuff you blog about, and also speaks directly to a lot of the ways in which conservatives bias their representation of laws that are supported “for our security”. So I found her article to be especially hallow considering actual evidence. But it just highlights more conservative delusion, and bias by conservatives in media and elsewhere. Just food for thought. It’s a little old, both the article and the arguments with no support for them.

That was exactly what I thought, upon reading. Yeah, it’s a horrible link. It’s often an MRA excuse to back up their vindictive anti-woman stance. It’s really sad how may people are deluded by that frame of thought?

Thanks Bleatmop. I live the one of the realities which this kind of economic, and power system reaps. In the US, disability provides (even if you contractually earned a pension) is well below economic “water lines”, if not often times even more inadequate. If I weren’t a pack-rat from my “better days” of economics I’d have pretty close to nothing. My mom always told me to get rid of stuff. I never did… MUAHAHA!~ Look who was right this time… Anyhow, I am considered 70% disabled, most likely more as soon as my new re-eval is done. I mean, it’s better than nothing, but between my budget, the cost of living here, and other necessities it doesn’t leave me much.

I try not to scoff at it, but too often it’s seen as being a favor, or that the disabled or otherwise should be “happy they get anything at all” (that good old “I’ve got mine, go fuck yourself” mentality) rather than the responsibility of a morally sound, and civil government. And I am one of the lucky ones in these regards, being a veteran and a retiree (military). Some in the media complain about “people like me” draining the economy, without even thinking twice about the profit margins being higher when we are all doing worse. None of them have every even tried to qualify for SSI, supplemental income, much less do they know how stringent they are, or how chintzy they can be. I’ve known people who were wheel chair bound, and hat to fight tooth and nail to get it. I have also seen people who don’t deserve it, get it. The system is really unbalanced, big time.
