These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher &lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1327602017_0"&gt;Gordon Hodson&lt;/span&gt;, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward &lt;a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=12vs39eu9/EXP=1328914464/**http%3A//www.livescience.com/16746-conservatives-disgust-political-views.html" id="yui_3_3_0_22_1327704866278319" rel="nofollow"&gt;socially conservative ideologies&lt;/a&gt;, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to &lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1327602017_2"&gt;LiveScience&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Some of us have been saying it for years folks, stupidity breeds biggotry. Sadly, until science finds a way to raise the collective IQ of all of humanity, it seems that we will unlikely be able to educate this problem away. We live in societies filled with hatred, low self-esteem, mental illness, hopelessness, and a whole other range of emotions just bursting at the seems to find an outlet. Unfortunately the easiest targets are usually the minority races, or other unusuals in society such as homosexuals or people who dress out of the norm, and so forth, who get picked out by these people to be tortured and ostracized, denied basic human rights and liberties, and be balked at by people. Some of us wonder if humanity will have a chance to evolve above such petty ignorace before 'mother nature' wipes us out of existance, much the way she did the dinosaurs, or if those of us with higher IQ's will be forced to suffer the fools for a few more millennia before things change.

It's a sure sign that's he's starting to cave to political pressure -- much of which is coming from the unexpectedly increasingly politically powerful &lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1326470299_1"&gt;Reddit&lt;/span&gt; -- and other lawmakers could follow suit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Then again, they could not. Take &lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1326470299_0"&gt;Lamar Smith&lt;/span&gt;, the Texas congressman who authored the Stop Online Piracy Act (&lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1326470299_2"&gt;SOPA&lt;/span&gt;) which is the House's more incendiary and more draconian version of &lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1326470299_4"&gt;the Senate&lt;/span&gt;'s PROTECT IP. News broke on Thursday that Smith himself engaged in some questionable copyright practices in building his personal website. The Texas congressman had used a photo that he didn't necessarily have the right permissions for, and in an unapologetic report, &lt;em id="yui_3_3_0_22_1326643376572426"&gt;Vice&lt;/em&gt;'s Jamie Lee Curtis Taete put him on the spot with a report unapologetically titled "&lt;a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=12e5qe9jk/EXP=1327852543/**http%3A//www.vice.com/read/lamar-smith-sopa-copyright-whoops" id="yui_3_3_0_22_1326643376572428" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Author of SOPA Is a Copyright Violator&lt;/a&gt;." The photo thing was a small thing by any measure and probably not something that would get the man thrown in jail. But nobody likes a hypocrite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Smith isn't sorry about what he did. In &lt;a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=13akqsacs/EXP=1327852543/**http%3A//www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/13/us-usa-internet-piracy-idUSTRE80C04T20120113" rel="nofollow"&gt;a Reuters interview&lt;/a&gt; published a few hours after &lt;em&gt;Vice&lt;/em&gt;'s somewhat sensational scoop, Smith vowed not to back down and even questioned how or why his colleagues would listen to what can only be described as a deafening protest against Congress's anti-piracy legislation. "It is amazing to me that the opponents apparently don't want to protect American consumers and businesses," Smith said. "Are they somehow benefitting by directing customers to these foreign websites? Do they profit from selling advertising to these foreign websites? And if they do, they need to be stopped. And I don't mind taking that on."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Well, Lamar Smith, the Internet does mind your taking that on. We're not just talking about Reddit, either. Pretty much every major American tech company has stepped forward to protest the current version of SOPA, warning how it stands to quell innovation (read: kill jobs) despite Smith's past arguments that SOPA is a job-saving bill. Indeed it would help the entertainment industry to lock in more profits, but it would also change the architecture of the open web, opening the door to government censorship and possibly shutting down popular sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, some say. Along those lines, legal scholars have called the bill unconstitutional, an assault on Americans' First Amendment rights. The Senate's PROTECT IP is, in many ways, a watered down version of SOPA, but it's also a bill that aim to solve a problem that Congress has more or less admitted it doesn't understand. So it's not a surprise at all that Senator Leahy would blink when confronted with the challenge of pushing the legislation forward. It remains surprising that Smith won't back down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Earlier this week, Politico floated a hypothesis: "&lt;a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=128c1bvkl/EXP=1327852543/**http%3A//www.politico.com/news/stories/0112/71284.html" id="yui_3_3_0_22_1326643376572448" rel="nofollow"&gt;SOPA becoming election liability for backers&lt;/a&gt;." (That's inside-the-Beltway headline speak for "Americans appear to hate SOPA, politicians appear to start listening.") At the time, it seemed almost speculative to say that folks like Leahy or Smith would listen to the web's collective outrage about the laws and change their stances on the legislation. After all, it is an election year. So far SOPA's made a villain out of at least one politician, quite randomly. Paul Ryan is not the SOPA proponent that Smith is, but in an attempt to flex their crowd-powered muscle, Reddit decided to go after Ryan and helped raise thousands of dollars for his opponent's campaign. After Reddit's initial threat, Ryan's office denied that he supported the bill. But the damage was done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="yui_3_3_0_22_1326643376572452"&gt;What happens next depends on a number of factors. For PROTECT IP, a judgment day is peeking over the horizon in the form of a procedural vote scheduled for January 24. For SOPA, a hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday, during which a number of Internet experts (read: huge nerds) will testify, we predict, in strong opposition to the bill before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, of which outspoken SOPA opponent Rep. Darrell Issa is the chairman. Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is one of the scheduled witnesses, and in solidarity with his vocal protest against the legislation, the link-sharing site will go dark for 12 hours. Other websites, like all of the meme-tastic Cheezburger blog network will follow suit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="yui_3_3_0_22_1326643376572454"&gt;It's unclear what's next for Smith and the House Judiciary Committee, where most of the hearings on SOPA have taken place. So far, he's not blinking like his colleagues and contradicting the many statements made by job-creating tech industry leaders. "There are some companies like Google that make money by directing consumers to these illegal websites," Smith told Reuters on Thursday. "So I don't think they have any real credibility to complain even though they are the primary opponent." Ohanian, one of those entrepreneurs that Smith is portraying as a villain, has said that SOPA would  "cripple the Internet" and isn't shy about stating the bill's real implications bluntly. "This (SOPA) could potentially obliterate the entire tech industry -- a job-creating industry," Ohanian wrote on his blog recently. But if you're the type that likes to listen to Harvard professors, it could also obliterate the entire Internet as we know it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(1)&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/faced-sopa-protest-one-senator-just-blinked-155606034.html" target="_blank"&gt;Faced With SOPA Protest, One Senator Just Blinked - On Yahoo News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/sopas-architect-finally-starting-back-down-225722143.html" target="_blank"&gt;SOPA's Architect Finally Starting To Back Down &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2012/01/guess-who-just-jumped-anti-sopa-train/47433/" target="_blank"&gt;Guess Who Just Jumped On The Anti-SOPA Train&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8414685539880296008?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8414685539880296008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8414685539880296008' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8414685539880296008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8414685539880296008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2012/01/faced-with-sopa-protest-one-senator.html' title='Faced With SOPA Protest, One Senator Just Blinked'/><author><name>Just_April1974</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03425689793910065833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3/Just_April1974/April1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-1960837428731417010</id><published>2012-01-09T02:36:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T08:52:19.526-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shooterz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='isabellah-1'/><title type='text'>RIP: Shooterz AKA Isabella-1</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7316/1863/1600/Picture%2060.0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7316/1863/1600/Picture%2060.0.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Vicki Jo aka Shooterz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we all got the dreaded news that yet another one of our dear Rattler's authors and renowned Paltalk Chatter Vicki Jo, passed away Sunday, Jan. 8, 2012, she was 52. Isa's was much loved and will be greatly missed. Our heartfelt&amp;nbsp;condolences to all of Vicki Jo's loved ones and know she will forever be in our hearts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I heard the news I started to search though-out The Rattler to read some of Isa's posting &amp;nbsp;and I was reminded how witty, funny, and smart Isa was. One post its was almost like she was leaving a message to us all and it simply said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;"The world we live in is full of uncertainty and sorrow... maybe "heaven" is when we no longer inhabit this earth."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Isa, thank you for all the hours you shared with us, for all the laughs and heads up and even the occasionally debate that you always fought with grace. &amp;nbsp;Always a lady, never will you be forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to share some of the great memories so many shared with Isa so I composed a list of some of her wonderful writings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/to-satisfy-firey-imaginations.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/what-women-are-made-of.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/love-of-mother.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/04/issa-and-classic-scramble-auntykates.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/03/as-worm-turns-my-ass.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2007/01/bush-flies-solo-while-boxer-takes-aim.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/12/what-will-happen-next.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/12/legacy-of-nightmares.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/11/its-christmastime.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/11/graceful-losers-in-si-pres-bush.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/11/pay-attn-jay156-its-important.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/09/tattler-exposed-with-sock-puppeting_17.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/09/tattler-gets-rattled-lol-pay-attn.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/09/way-of-world-is-war.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/08/possilfossil-speaks-hoooooorayyyy.html&lt;br /&gt;http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2006/08/tattler-is-biased-liar-and-filthy.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isa you will always be with us in our hearts, thoughts and memories, may your journey be as wonderful as you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-1960837428731417010?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/1960837428731417010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=1960837428731417010' title='38 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1960837428731417010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1960837428731417010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2012/01/rip-shooterz-aka-isabella-1.html' title='RIP: Shooterz AKA Isabella-1'/><author><name>Dreama</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07140409354466938422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qPzt5-4MWhU/TZqEHUcMelI/AAAAAAAAAIs/Ata2eTFuRKU/s220/small%2Blogo%2Bbarbed%2Blips.jpg'/></author><thr:total>38</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3664240786646204861</id><published>2012-01-07T17:09:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-07T17:10:51.302-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lively_oak'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gizmo_210'/><title type='text'>Gizmo_210's Return</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jS-82YiCpGE/Twi8X_0qQUI/AAAAAAAAAN4/4ak2igEA93s/s1600/crazy_woman.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jS-82YiCpGE/Twi8X_0qQUI/AAAAAAAAAN4/4ak2igEA93s/s320/crazy_woman.bmp" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;gizmo_210: &lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;I SAID WATCH YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA YOUR GET WW3333333333333333333&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(WW3 x19, so is it WW3 or WW19)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gizmo_210: &lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;AND I WAS FUCKIN RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(Right? we are in WW3?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lively_oak: &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;GIZMO...

The last one was 70 years ago, in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, less formal authorizations of force are common.

Bush did not deny that he was fighting a war. In contrast, President Obama channeled George Orwell in claiming the absence of hostilities in Libya as U.S. drones, missiles, and planes destroyed military materiel and killed military personnel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(channeled? did he use a ouija board)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lively_oak: &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;WOW GIZMO HAS GONE FROM PINK TO PURPLE...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(that happens sometimes during temper tantrums)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gizmo_210: &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;sometimes called the father of the Constitution: "Of all the enemies of true liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(war has parents?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gizmo_210: &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;debts, and taxes are the known instrument for bringing the many under the domination of the few."

The rules are going to be the same as when our beloved Jesus Claus ran &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Rattler&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, every social room, every chatter is free game, no one is safe from the grasp of &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Rattler&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will be a couple new authors, some of the old timers and as many facetious comments as you can stand. Comments are open to everyone, yes even anonymous commenter's (yes this even means you, Associate Moderate AKA AssMod).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to send out my sincerest thanks to jellybean, for giving me that extra push I needed to fulfill my long overdue promise to Mark and keep &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Rattler&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; running. Jellybean thank you from the bottom of my heart, I truly owe you one (or two or three lol).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had promised Jesus Claus that I would continue &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Rattler&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; the very last time I had talk to him (I didn't know at the time I would never hear his voice again) and it's beyond time for me to keep that promise. Mark was one of the funniest, kindest and smartest men paltalk has or ever will know and so now in his memory &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Rattler&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is open for business, let the games begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you Mark and never will that love dim, remember keep the door open I can't wait to see you again in a better place and time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The laws that were passed during the Bush administration began what is becoming the eradication of the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. It is the responsibility of the people to ALWAYS keep their government in-check, making sure that they are following both the laws of the land, and the will of the people.. in not doing so, we the people, are losing the most valuable rights that this country has. The very laws that this country was based upon are being trashed in the name of fear, that's how it begins people. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;More and more people are completely losing faith that ANY real number of politicians will be elected to office that will truely be there to enforce the will of the people, and bring this country to the greatness that she was always meant to be. With the passage of this law, it is my hope that people will be awakened to their civic responsibilities, and the absolute importance to NEVER follow their government blindly. I believe that MORE protest need to be staged&amp;nbsp;so that people may make their views known, and be more assured that our government knows that THEY WORK FOR US, and that we.. the people of the United States,&amp;nbsp;will not be forced into a communist nation as other&amp;nbsp;countries&amp;nbsp;in the past have been.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;*just my views*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Just_April1974 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;(1) Forbes.﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/01/02/president-obama-signed-the-national-defense-authorization-act-now-what/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/01/02/president-obama-signed-the-national-defense-authorization-act-now-what/&lt;/a&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-5409150517097795574?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/5409150517097795574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=5409150517097795574' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/5409150517097795574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/5409150517097795574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2012/01/national-defense-authorization-act.html' title='National Defense Authorization Act'/><author><name>Just_April1974</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03425689793910065833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3/Just_April1974/April1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f7DL6ciQjlc/Tweqtg3PmmI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/r3T9TzDcc0U/s72-c/dead_funny_terrorists.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-4966370721267528138</id><published>2012-01-06T02:02:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T02:49:54.851-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Poll: Should the Rattler Return?</title><content type='html'>Take time and let me know if The Rattler should once again throw light upon the stupidity of paltalk.

I wanted to make absolutely sure that there wasn't going to be any type of recount or court involvement, as we know that has happened before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is official Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America and already he has started keeping his campaign promises. Obama promised that the democratic map would expand and it did. There weren't riots in the streets, quite the opposite there was joy and hope in the streets. The American people got back something they have been missing, their belief that their voices did matter, they relearn that we the people do in fact hold the power as long as we are willing to work for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to get some facts out there before all the bullshit starts in hopes that maybe this will stop a handful of scared, hateful people in their tracks. First fact I wanted to put out there is; unlike what some are already saying, it was not one group that elected President Obama it was the voices of many from all demographics. Obama won popular vote 53% to 47% and I'm going to break that down a bit. African-Americans made up 13% of  the vote, voters under 30 (this included first time voters and the young vote) made up 18% of the vote. Now if you add all this together that is 31% of the vote leaving 22% which did NOT fall into young or African-American vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the facts, we the American people elected Obama, people from all races, religions, gender, and age.  We came together and spoke with a united voice, we all want a better country for our children and grandchildren to come. We wanted to show the world that no matter what affliction comes our way we can and we do come together to expand on the very principals of our country, equality, freedom and justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always said it is the American people I have hope for and believe in and now I hope the world can understand why Americans are proud of their country and why they think the US is the best system out there. Is it perfect, of course not but that is part of the beauty to know we had a solid foundation to build upon and that we can always move our country towards a more perfect union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As President Obama said in his acceptance speech last night, this is our victory. Every single person that made calls, knocked on doors, donated $5.00, helped at the polls and voted, this is your victory, this is America's victory and the world's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although there are already many saying President Obama isn't their president, that is ok because you are his fellow Americans and he will be a president for all, even to those that disagree with him or refuse to call him their President.  He will be a servant of the people as is the duty of  the president, he will not dictate to us, he will not try to be King Obama, he will work tireless for all Americans, even you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To every single American I want to thank you for all you have done, and to ask you to not slack off now. There is a hell of a lot of work ahead and it will be a long and sometimes a rough road, but it will always be a road worth travelling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YES WE CAN &amp;amp; YES WE DID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-9213047896351630769?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/9213047896351630769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=9213047896351630769' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/9213047896351630769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/9213047896351630769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/11/thank-you.html' title='Thank You'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SRIHQ-52q7I/AAAAAAAAAIw/Xe8zaAEAwPs/s72-c/barack-obama-for-president.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-8582720562526540771</id><published>2008-07-17T00:27:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T00:33:09.796-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PRATTTLER HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT</title><content type='html'>The Pratttler has spoken to me and he has gracious said he would pick up on blogging about paltalk chatters and rooms.

We all wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments on Mark's memorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow will be the last day for all the authors to post one last time if they wish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe we will meet again in that blogspot far from here, until then take care of yourselves and remember every word you say, write or text can and does effect the world we live in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never postpone saying I love you or giving a word of thanks, life is too short to miss golden moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signing Off &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facetious Muse&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-320742528759195667?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/320742528759195667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=320742528759195667' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/320742528759195667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/320742528759195667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/07/time-has-come-to-part-ways.html' title='TIME HAS COME TO PART WAYS'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3319488209022510727</id><published>2008-07-14T17:55:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-14T18:18:31.731-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA'S SUPPORT OFTHE  FISA BILL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHvOwXIZbvI/AAAAAAAAAHM/1CLlPn9Sm8k/s1600-h/FISA2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHvOwXIZbvI/AAAAAAAAAHM/1CLlPn9Sm8k/s400/FISA2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222995523104501490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would tell all you people that feel as though Obama has &lt;i&gt;"granted"&lt;/i&gt; retroactive immunity by voting for this bill to look at "The Verdict" with Dan Abrams from July 8th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill actually provides clarity to FISAs role and doesn't grant telecoms retroactive immunity.  Because the LAW (even previous to what has transpired) has always said telecoms are immune when the AG requests their assistance.  With this bill, immunity will only apply in those VERY CASES!!  Immunity will not be given to any tele-com that did things on their own or when requested by anyone other than the AG.  It also ensures that Bush and the administration make available to the senate and house all that transpired (something the previous bill, didn't) during that time-frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people that are against this have little knowledge of the history of FISA and this revision (and I say a REVISION) of this bill. We had FISA laws for a few decades now, the problem was that BUSH ignored those laws and went on and did things unconstitutionally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bill is to put those laws back in play and force Bush or any other future president to not be irresponsible with our liberities of the 4th Amendment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By REJECTING this bill it would mean that the 4th amendment is not protected at all, that Bush continues doing whatever he wants! I know it's not a perfect bill, but it's better than no bill at all and keeping things just as they are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which one would you rather choose? I would  rather have this and get some control back and some protection and after Obama is elected get it modified again to the will of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it a violation of the 4th amendment?  Depends on your view, but it's always been the LAW.  If a tele-com is asked for assistance by the AG, they are provided immunity, that has always been the case! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Obama, he feels that the law still needs to be on the books.  Democrats are willing to compromise on this for now and vote. But just hold on folks, only 6 months of this and then the law will be REVISED and the 4th amendment will count again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;They don't call me Facetious Muse for nothing &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHvNdmaLLxI/AAAAAAAAAHE/vPWENLGwh3E/s1600-h/devil-smile.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHvNdmaLLxI/AAAAAAAAAHE/vPWENLGwh3E/s400/devil-smile.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222994101276454674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-3319488209022510727?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/3319488209022510727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=3319488209022510727' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3319488209022510727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3319488209022510727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/07/obamas-support-ofthe-fisa-bill.html' title='OBAMA&apos;S SUPPORT OFTHE  FISA BILL'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHvOwXIZbvI/AAAAAAAAAHM/1CLlPn9Sm8k/s72-c/FISA2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-7061535172196655848</id><published>2008-07-14T11:59:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-14T12:54:38.441-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lively_oak'/><title type='text'>ANOTHER LIVELY OAKS RANT</title><content type='html'>I have returned and who is my victim today, well lively_oaks of course.

"Anyone who has enjoyed Sen. McCain's side-splitting jokes about killing Iranians will be blown away by this list," the aide said. "He's in fine form." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain has a huge list of ways to kill Iranians from mordant to capricious. How could we ever forget McCain suggesting a sure death for Iranian would be to "Tell Christie Brinkley that Iran has been cheating on her."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But McCain's best hit of all times in how to kill Iranians is "Vote for me"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know McCain just might have found his calling, as a comedian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well lets face it people McCain's calling sure isn't in the White house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;i&gt;They don't call me Facetious Muse for nothing &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHtq7ltabXI/AAAAAAAAAG0/vUkRZlie9lg/s1600-h/devil-smile.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHtq7ltabXI/AAAAAAAAAG0/vUkRZlie9lg/s400/devil-smile.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222885764833635698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;shout out to borowitzreport.com&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8706090530410931993?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8706090530410931993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8706090530410931993' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8706090530410931993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8706090530410931993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/07/mccains-idea-of-humor.html' title='McCain&apos;s IDEA OF HUMOR'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHtrh1bKnuI/AAAAAAAAAG8/2MGDxRWXJyQ/s72-c/mccain_wow.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3315194037352096659</id><published>2008-07-13T21:04:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-14T11:12:54.143-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WE CATER TO COWARDS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHqqC7ILGHI/AAAAAAAAAGs/VXy1kNJevAQ/s1600-h/coward_logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SHqqC7ILGHI/AAAAAAAAAGs/VXy1kNJevAQ/s400/coward_logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222673685097945202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that we have some very immature visitors to The Rattler. It seems these handful of cowardly scum just can't leave well enough alone. It seems that JC's death is something they find humorous, and they don't care if JC's loved ones read their silly remarks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is for all the chickenshits that enjoy causing others pain by their hidden nics and hateful words.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a comment I made back to someone silly remarks on JC's memorial post &lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;(if you look at comments you will see I also listed their 'hidden' IP addy there which I have omitted from this posting)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a challenge to all of those little scary cats, come and reply  and answers some questions you will see listed below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thing in case your attention span can't read this entire posting: &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Mark never put down others he only pointed out ones own silliness in the hope they would see how hurtful they were being and see that their or anyone's God intended for us all to love one another and show compassion to all we touch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this was/is too deep for heartless &amp; soulless scum to understand, Mark only tried to point out ones OWN stupidity and biases, if you feel like he attacked you from a chatroom you need help, try looking into your own heart first. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to let you know I will not delete one single comment made to this posting and yet I get the feeling the cowards will not text here, I wonder if they will prove me wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;How can you be such a sad person that you like causing others such pain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you bother reading the comments here, do you not know that JC's family comes here to read these comments and how it helps them feel a small sense of comfort? Also did you know that depression is not only mental, in fact depression is physical, its seems that depression is an imbalance of hormones that are produced and controlled by the brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you wish this on someone that died of cancer?  Depression is PHYSICAL and to wish hell on one that died from depression is just as bad as wishing hell on someone that died of cancer, worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How would you feel if your hurtful comments caused another death? The death of a loved one of JC's who's pain is so deep and they are barely holding on and then they come here read your remark and it becomes the straw that broke their back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you think your God would find that to be a desirable trait in one of his children?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't you think that God's word was meant for all, including you?&lt;br /&gt;If so then you are saddening your God's heart. You aren't doing unto others, you are judging, you are NOT honoring God and I could list more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe instead of you coming here to cause pain to those you have never even spoken to, you should read you bible again and pray for understanding from God. For I fear if you continue to hurt others as you have been here you might find yourself in the position you wanted for others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark never put down others he only pointed out ones own silliness in the hope they would see how hurtful they were being and see that their or anyone's God intended for us all to love one another and show compassion to all we touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So maybe it isn't Mark you dislike but yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>MCCAIN'S MISLEADING ATTACKS</title><content type='html'>MCCAIN'S MISLEADING ATTACK ON OBAMA'S TAX POLICY &lt;br /&gt;Misleading information seems to be the norm from the Republicans lately. I am not suprised. The folloing comes from an email i recived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE MISLEADING MCCAIN RHETORIC:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We need to keep the IRS from taking more of your&lt;br /&gt;income and making life harder for small business.&lt;br /&gt;If you believe you should pay more taxes, I am the&lt;br /&gt;wrong candidate for you. Senator Obama is your&lt;br /&gt;man. The choice in this election is stark and&lt;br /&gt;simple. Senator Obama will raise your taxes. I&lt;br /&gt;won't. I will cut them where I can. Jobs are the&lt;br /&gt;most important thing our economy creates. When you&lt;br /&gt;raise taxes in a bad economy you eliminate jobs.&lt;br /&gt;I'm not going to let that happen. Senator Obama's&lt;br /&gt;tax increases will hurt the economy even more, and&lt;br /&gt;destroy jobs across this country.” [McCain Speech,&lt;br /&gt;7/7/08]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE FACTS: OUTSIDE OBSERVERS AGREE THAT CLAIMS&lt;br /&gt;THAT OBAMA WILL RAISE TAXES ARE “WRONG,” “FALSE,”&lt;br /&gt;“MISLEADING”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington Post Fact Checker: McCain Campaign&lt;br /&gt;Attacks on Obama Tax Plan “Overblown,” “Wrong,”&lt;br /&gt;and “Greatly Exaggerated.” “The McCain camp is&lt;br /&gt;attempting to persuade Americans that their taxes&lt;br /&gt;will increase dramatically with Barack Obama as&lt;br /&gt;president. The presumptive Republican nominee has&lt;br /&gt;repeatedly said that Obama would enact ‘the&lt;br /&gt;largest tax increase since the Second World War.’&lt;br /&gt;A surrogate, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly&lt;br /&gt;Fiorina, insists that Obama has not proposed ‘a&lt;br /&gt;single tax cut’ and wants to ‘raise every tax in&lt;br /&gt;the book.’ … The claim that Obama will ‘enact’&lt;br /&gt;the largest tax increase since World War II is&lt;br /&gt;also overblown. The Bush tax cuts will expire&lt;br /&gt;automatically at the end of 2010, so it is hardly&lt;br /&gt;a question of ‘enacting’ a new tax increase. ...&lt;br /&gt;Carly Fiorina is wrong to claim that Obama has&lt;br /&gt;proposed no tax cuts and wants to raise ‘every tax&lt;br /&gt;in the book.’” [Washington Post, 6/11/08]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politifact: McCain’s Statement That Obama’s Tax&lt;br /&gt;Plan Would Raise Taxes Is “False.” Politifact&lt;br /&gt;reported, “So calling it a tax increase might not&lt;br /&gt;be considered fair. There's no disputing that&lt;br /&gt;taxes will rise, but the question of who's&lt;br /&gt;responsible for that tax increase is another&lt;br /&gt;matter entirely. At PolitiFact, we've concluded,&lt;br /&gt;as have others, that it's unfair to call Obama's&lt;br /&gt;plan a tax increase merely because it doesn't&lt;br /&gt;change existing tax law to keep rates low. We&lt;br /&gt;think about it this way: The reason taxes will&lt;br /&gt;increase is because of tax policy signed into law&lt;br /&gt;not by Obama, but by somebody else… the more&lt;br /&gt;recent data — combined with the fact that Obama's&lt;br /&gt;proposal does not constitute a tax increase in the&lt;br /&gt;traditional sense, since some taxes would be lower&lt;br /&gt;under his plan than they would under current law —&lt;br /&gt;persuades us to classify McCain's statement as&lt;br /&gt;False.” [Politifact, 6/11/08]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FactCheck.Org: McCain's Largest Tax Increase&lt;br /&gt;Charge Wrong and Misleading. According to the&lt;br /&gt;Annenberg Public Policy Center’s Factcheck.org:&lt;br /&gt;“By the measure most economists prefer, McCain is&lt;br /&gt;wrong in his claim that Sens. Clinton and Obama&lt;br /&gt;want to implement "the single largest tax increase&lt;br /&gt;since the Second World War;"… At a more basic&lt;br /&gt;level, it's misleading to tag Clinton and Obama&lt;br /&gt;for something that was scheduled during the Bush&lt;br /&gt;administration – the expiration of the 2001 and&lt;br /&gt;2003 Bush tax cuts, which by law will occur at the&lt;br /&gt;end of 2010.” [Factcheck.org, 5/14/2008]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE FACTS: OBAMA’S TAX PLAN WILL PROVIDE A BIGGER&lt;br /&gt;BREAK FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES THAN MCCAIN’S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the non partisan Tax Policy Center’s&lt;br /&gt;computations, “under Mr. Obama’s plan, the middle&lt;br /&gt;of the middle class, or those earning $37,595 to&lt;br /&gt;$66,354, would see taxes cut by $1,042 a year.&lt;br /&gt;Under Mr. McCain’s plan, taxes for people in that&lt;br /&gt;category would also fall, but by $319; the largest&lt;br /&gt;chunk of the benefits would go to those making&lt;br /&gt;$2.8 million a year or more.” [New York Times,&lt;br /&gt;6/13/08]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is getting bad and is going to get worse!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-5247216291551574999?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/5247216291551574999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=5247216291551574999' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/5247216291551574999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/5247216291551574999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/07/mccains-misleading-attacks.html' title='MCCAIN&apos;S MISLEADING ATTACKS'/><author><name>Snuggle_Bunny_2</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_T3UZ0UyOOpg/SEnY1v6Gw3I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RbICXa5RzwY/S220/jason+and+I+obama+primary.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-2299191893024327554</id><published>2008-07-07T19:55:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-07T19:57:37.032-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SEEMS SIMPLE TO ME.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pv7lIwH57nw/SHKtGukKRdI/AAAAAAAAAAc/R94aaybrIYI/s1600-h/obama-mccain.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220425249166345682" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pv7lIwH57nw/SHKtGukKRdI/AAAAAAAAAAc/R94aaybrIYI/s400/obama-mccain.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Till next time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;DRAMA PRO&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-2299191893024327554?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/2299191893024327554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=2299191893024327554' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2299191893024327554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2299191893024327554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/07/seems-simple-to-me.html' title='SEEMS SIMPLE TO ME.'/><author><name>Drama Pro</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pv7lIwH57nw/SHKtGukKRdI/AAAAAAAAAAc/R94aaybrIYI/s72-c/obama-mccain.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-6612399269076035092</id><published>2008-07-07T19:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-07T18:53:34.809-04:00</updated><title type='text'>COMMENTS</title><content type='html'>Hi everyone.

After tears shared and stories told Mark's Mom wanted to let me know that so many of us touched Mark in ways most didn't know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark (JC) was always one that loved a great joke and he loved giving them, and Mark staying with his love of outing people, he requested we keep the Rattler going, something I promised I would do and I hope all of the authors of the Rattler will stay on and carry out Mark's wishes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems in the last year I have had to posted too many of our dear friends passing, but this one hits me harder than the rest. Mark was more than my friend, he helped my heart to thaw and made me see love again in the world. I will truly miss him till the end of my days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that Mark will be greatly missed by many, how many of us come to the Rattler with our morning coffee to get a laugh, breaking news, or simply to reflect?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is going to seem a bit dimmer, bit sadder without Mark in it, but we must carry on as Mark wished we would, and guys I'm so going to need your help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark, may you find the peace you couldn't in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try

The lobbying group, Caucus for Priorities, was so impressed by Obama's anti-military offering that it steered its 10,000 devotees his way.&lt;br /&gt;In a 132-word videotaped pledge (still viewable on YouTube), Obama agreed to hollow out the U.S. military by slashing both conventional and nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;The scope of his planned defense cuts, combined with his angry tone, is breathtaking. He sounds as if the military is the enemy, not the bad guys it's fighting. Here is a transcript:&lt;br /&gt;"I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning; and as president, I will end it.&lt;br /&gt;"Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.&lt;br /&gt;"I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending.&lt;br /&gt;"Third, I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal."&lt;br /&gt;You can bet that Obama will not make this sweeping indictment of our security forces again as he tries to move to the center in the general election. But this is what he thinks, and this is what he plans to do.&lt;br /&gt;His campaign Web site doesn't list a separate category for military or defense under "Issues." But search shows near-identical language there regarding nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;His plan, needless to say, is frighteningly irresponsible given the world threats.&lt;br /&gt;While there is fat in the defense budget, defense spending both as a share of GDP and the total federal budget are still at historically low levels, despite the war.&lt;br /&gt;And while cutting fat out of the defense budget is a worthy goal, Obama would cut beyond fat to bone.&lt;br /&gt;Caucus for Priorities aims to redirect 15% of the Pentagon's discretionary budget away from "obsolete Cold War weapons towards education, health care, job training, alternative energy development, world hunger and deficit-reduction."&lt;br /&gt;On the chopping block: the F-22 Raptor, the V-22 Osprey, the Virginia-class sub, the DDG-1,000 destroyer and the Army's Future Combat System.&lt;br /&gt;Cutting allegedly "unproven" missile defense systems is music to Kim Jong Il's and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's ears, let alone all the PLA generals wishing our destruction.&lt;br /&gt;Yet Obama wants to kill a program that's yielding success after success, with both sea- and land-based systems. The military just this week intercepted a ballistic missile near Hawaii in a sea-based missile defense test.&lt;br /&gt;Proposing "deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal" amounts to unilateral disarmament, and it's suicidal given China's and now Russia's aggressive military buildup.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Iran and North Korea threaten nuclear madness, and Osama bin Laden dreams of unleashing a nuclear 9/11 on America.&lt;br /&gt;In contrast, John McCain has vowed: "We must continue to deploy a safe and reliable nuclear deterrent, robust missile defenses and superior conventional forces that are capable of defending the United States and our allies."&lt;br /&gt;We've been down this road before. President Clinton pursued a denuclearization program, including his 1995 pledge to sign a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and it led to him kicking open our nuclear labs to the Chinese, who proceeded to steal our warhead secrets and strengthen their own arsenal.&lt;br /&gt;Like the Ben &amp;amp; Jerry's crowd that supports him, Obama believes "real" national security is "humanitarian foreign aid" — essentially using our troops as international meals-on-wheels in Africa.&lt;br /&gt;We've been down that road before, too, in Somalia and elsewhere. Thanks, but we don't need a third Clinton, or a second Carter, term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till next time&lt;br /&gt;DRAMA PRO&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8813555887024294939?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8813555887024294939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8813555887024294939' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8813555887024294939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8813555887024294939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/pure-obama.html' title='Pure Obama'/><author><name>Drama Pro</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-7991039129147723417</id><published>2008-06-27T21:08:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T21:10:02.697-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Democrats are brilliant.</title><content type='html'>One good donation deserves another.&lt;br /&gt;Bill and Hillary Clinton on Friday contributed $2,300 apiece online to Barack Obama’s campaign after Obama and his wife, Michelle, wrote checks for the same amount to Hillary Clinton.&lt;br /&gt;The Obamas’ donation - the maximum amount they could give - was meant to help retire Clinton’s campaign debt.&lt;br /&gt;But since Obama already has called on his top fundraisers to join in that effort, the Clintons apparently felt free to give back.&lt;br /&gt;The donation swapping came as Obama and Hillary Clinton attended their first joint campaign stop in the town of Unity, N.H.&lt;br /&gt;They pledged to work together and called on voters to set aside the hurt feelings of a bruising primary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, who is the winner here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till next time&lt;br /&gt;DRAMA PRO&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-7991039129147723417?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/7991039129147723417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=7991039129147723417' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/7991039129147723417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/7991039129147723417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/democrats-are-brilliant.html' title='Democrats are brilliant.'/><author><name>Drama Pro</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-5499883615858814672</id><published>2008-06-23T23:20:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-24T00:03:52.664-04:00</updated><title type='text'>IN MEMORY OF GEORGE CARLIN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SGBvvqRRrmI/AAAAAAAAAGE/JW4pyll7cdM/s1600-h/george-carlin400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SGBvvqRRrmI/AAAAAAAAAGE/JW4pyll7cdM/s400/george-carlin400.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215291233086320226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By now many have heard that George Carlin died Sunday, June 22, 2008. George was 71 and was at a show as recently as last week in Nevada.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many have no clue that George Carlin was in the U.S. Air Force, he was first a suit and tie comedian and he even appeared on 'The Tonight Show' when Jack Paar was the host.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I believe George was best known for were the seven "Filthy Words" that eventually lead George Carlin to the Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in memory of George I would like to list those seven words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Original 'Seven Filthy Words':&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;large&gt;&lt;b&gt;shit, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;piss, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fuck, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cunt, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cocksucker, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;motherfucker, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and tits.&lt;/large&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for those of you that would like to read the direct quote from the Supreme Court Decision of FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION v.

  &lt;blockquote&gt;1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is really only spread by a bunch of gay assholes intent on taking over the world.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   2. You have to believe Barack Obama is somehow both a devout radical Muslim and a devout left-wing Christian- simultaneously, no less.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;3. You have to be pro-death (penalty) and pro-life at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   4. You have to believe that abortion is wrong no matter what, but then decide to stop giving a damn about the babies once they’re actually born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   5. You have to believe the Holocaust was God’s will, and that Hitler was just a hunter, chosen by the Lord to get the Jews out of Europe and into Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   6. You have to believe Rachael Ray is a Palestinian Jihad sympathizer with plans to take over the world via Dunkin Donuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   7. You have to believe that Saddam Hussein did have weapons of mass destruction and that he was the cause of 9/11… and that oil doesn’t have a damn thing to do with this so-called War on Terror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   8. You have to believe that $5.00 for a gallon of gas is downright affordable, causing you to scratch your head and wonder what all these darn liberals are in such an uproar about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   9. You have to believe that homosexuality is not only completely unnatural, but is a choice made by lunatics that are clearly nothing but gluttons for punishment…  despite scientific evidence that says otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  10. You have to fight against affirmative action and then think it’s ok that minorities make less than whites because they have yet to earn their place in this society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  11. You have to believe that all that druggin’ and boozin’ actually left at least one decent brain cell in President Bush’s body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  12. You have to believe a president who lied about getting off using a cigar on one of his interns belongs in jail, but a president whose lies caused the very war we find ourselves in today deserves a medal of honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  13. You have to believe that all things non-Christian should be outlawed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  14. You have to believe that the only people worthy of constitutional protection are white business men that are wealthy and belong to the NRA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  15. You have to believe a photo ID is necessary to vote, but not to purchase a gun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  16. You have to believe immigration needs to be stopped, and that the only people who deserve to be in this country are “Americans” though you yourself aren’t a true native- and never would have been here either, had someone in your family not been an immigrant once too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  17. You have to believe that scientifically, humans never evolved, and that people were just… BAM!!… placed here arbitrarily one beautiful afternoon by God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  18. You have to be of the opinion that the term “foreign policy” is really just code for barrell-assin’ into a country and killing a whole bunch of people… and then (maybe) asking questions later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  19. You have to believe in abstinence, and that sex is just wrong- and then justify it when yet another married Republican politician finds himself caught in the act with his pants around his ankles… with yet another prostitute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  20. You have to think the Rev. Wright is psycho, but worship all things Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I posted this is reply to a silly comment made 'To be a good democrat' Of course I'm being facetious, but do you see why intelligent human-beings don't agree to lumping everyone together?

And when I disappoint by being a good girl, they make stuff up.  Like Highfaultin the other night accusing me of challenging an Admin.   Yes, I do challenge Admins when they do things that are unfair, but Lordofeuchre is not an Admin as far as I could tell he wasn't wearing one of these @.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last night I was in your room Rizzo, Godot, myself and several other people were having a very civil discussion until that cretin Alfie walks in piddling all over the floor, and whining like a cat on heat.  Alfie got his arse whipped soundly for his stupidity and left to go into IM with his mate OutbackJack.   OutbackJack, claims to be a 'FULL' blood Aboriginal, for what that is worth, blood quantum means jack-shit in Australia when it comes to defining one's Aboriginality.  Jack can't be too far in the outback to have a phone and internet server, and he used certain racial remarks  that NO Aboriginal person would use in a room full of Gubba to describe himself.   Jack went to water when I challenged him, and did the smart thing and shut up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slink there are plenty of witnesses to my last visit to your room, Arwen and others,  who know that I was making a contribution to the chat  and did not give your Admins any grief. So I am left to conclude that you have been pussy whipped by one of your female admins, AGAIN!   Your Aussie Admins in particular don't like me in your room, because they can't get away with their bullshit and of course your Republican mates get hammered every time. It is of absolutely no concern to me to be banned from your room, but you really had me fooled there for a while  that you were a person with some moral fibre.  But when it comes down to it, you are spineless, just like all the other spineless Republican American pussies on Paltalk. May your days be numbered and you all crawl back under the rocks from whence you came.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8679174317067071337?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8679174317067071337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8679174317067071337' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8679174317067071337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8679174317067071337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/slink-another-paltalk-pussywhipped.html' title='SLINK ANOTHER PALTALK  PUSSYWHIPPED  WHIMP BITES THE PILLOW.'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-7135148267313857567</id><published>2008-06-19T23:52:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-20T02:12:22.662-04:00</updated><title type='text'>CLUCK!

I accepted the invitation to Classic's room which had four people in total.  Poor deluded Vooette had a captive audience with air-headed SuzanneFl and LordHawHaw (ClassicmFree) cheering from the asylums of their confinement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly I am not interested in debating WHY Vooette did what he did to Mitsuk.  What he did is fact and NOT debatable.  However, Vooette  frothed and foamed  as he tried to justify what he did to Mitsuk, saying  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;she doesn't have a husband.&lt;/span&gt;"   Now we all know that Mistuk has often spoken of her 'husband'.  It is true there has never been a wedding ceremony but under Canadian Law if a couple have co-habitated  for a period longer than 2 years, and hold themselves out to be husband and wife, they are considered de-facto or Common Law spouses.  Mitsuk and her husband have been together for 14 years. After Vooette left her high and dry she went back to her husband,  that is a fact also.  So try another tactic Vooette if you hope to wriggle out of your despicable act, that one doesn't wash.  Better still try telling Mitsuk's husband that he doesn't count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Vooette starts on my family, as if he knows anything about them.  He claims my daughter's children don't come to see me because my daughter hates me.  My daughter does not have any children.  Wrong again Vooette.  Dennis the menace said all that needs to be said about innocent bystanders being dragged into Vooette and Mitsuk's unsavory affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vooette continued at the mic with his limited vocabulary boring me to death so I left and went to his room, and tossed out the challenge to Voo to meet me in there.  I am not interested in Vooette's drama games I told him that the day I told him to shove his @ hat up his arse.  However, I don't mind the opportunity to humiliate him in a real debate.  That opportunity came today in another room when he took the mic and said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Presidents are not  responsible for the economy, and the Iraq war has not impacted on the USA economy much at all."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Yes dear Rattlers you read that correctly.  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Presidents are not  responsible for the economy, and the Iraq war has not impacted on the USA economy much at all."  &lt;/span&gt;Is this a political dolt or what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took the mic and enlightened Vooette that the ill conceived or badly advised policies and decisions of a President most certainly are responsible for the adverse effects on a  country's economy and the decision to go into Iraq is a very good example of how this manifests.  Lord Vooette left the room rather than respond. We were in a room that does not allow personal attacks, so Vooette was stuffed.   Vooette is like flypaper, he picks up bits and pieces of information around the traps that he thinks makes sense, but does not have the depth to debate the topic when challenged, so he ran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking up the challenge to go to his room to "debate"  him, I did so and was warmly greeted as I entered the room.  Vooette had to be dragged back from Classic's room, which is where he goes when he can't participate in the rare moments of real debate that go down in his room from time to time.  He babbled and fluffed around in text in his usually in-coherent and disconnected manner, which I don't find difficulty ignoring.  When it came my turn to take the mic, he jumped on me  and continued to make a total clown of himself.  He was laughed at and a number of people left in disgust. Then he showed his total cowardice by bouncing me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU LOSE VOOETTE......Cluck!!  Cluck!!!  CHICKEN!!!

I still chuckle about the day you said at the mic "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I have a doctors degree."&lt;/span&gt;   Vooette that would be a Phd dear and you don't have one.

What BS.  What makes Ms Oak think anyone has to have her morals shoved down our throats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;She wanted to tell the room she did not do drugs or drink.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Well she takes a  drink during passover. And she wants to give others shit about doing things. Im sorry if you have any alcoholic beverage passes your lips you drink. That is not saying you are a drunk or anything but it does kill the idea you dont drink.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One final Ms Oak thought...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;She thinks if you are friends with a convict you are sick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;She came out and told me that today. I swear to you!  I learned a long time ago that if you are going to have nothing to do with a group of people because of a specfic reason, you could miss out on a lot of good people. I am not going to discriminate a group of people because of one thing. That is the dumbest thing to do in my book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As normal Ms Oak does not give a care about the feeling of the fellow chatters in the room. She made sure Voo knew all about the convicts in the room then laughted her head off. I think Ms Oak is in despreate need of  Mental Health care.  Her mood swings are getting out of control. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; She is a no good for the room and needs to be banned. All she is there for is text sniping and petty bullshit vendetta since the grevence session last week when many came out against her. She now attacks any one she can. It is petty and wrong and once again Ms oak refuses to take responsiblity for her behavior acting like a six yearold. I say go right ahead. What goes around comes arround.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;The feeling and thoughts in the post are  soley mine and no others.

They vanished into thin air after making total idiots of themselves.  Do any of you recall MissAstridElectra, the colourful Aussie dominatrix transvestite  prostitute?  Miss Astrid, as she liked to be called,  had the gravel voice of a heavy smoking octogenarian,  and a profile pic of a 25 year old porn queen.  Miss Astrid was always good for a spectacular show. She whipped  the Paltalk community into  a frenzy with her sharp tongue and titivating tales of clients in bondage, whimpering, and begging for the spanking to be harder.  Miss Astrid's desire to be all things to all people came unstuck when she tried to kid people in Australia, especially your Aunty Kate, that she worked on the Federal election campaign with Maxine McKew, the very stylish, devout Catholic, who took the seat of Prime Minister John Howard. Sillier still was her assertion that she worked in Aboriginal commumities and referred to Aboriginal people as "boongs".    Poor MissAstrid was so humiliated she just vanished. A pity,  she did have some skill at being able to think on her feet,  while walking and chewing gum at the same time.  If you read this MissAstrid come back dear and save us from the truly mundane bullshitters like ALFIE_00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALFIE is one of our numerous Paltalk Vietnam War vets. In truth,  Alfie has never been closer to anything to do with the military than playing the pokies at the local  RSL.  That is Returned Soldiers League for our American friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aunty Kate met Aflie some years back and was interested to hear a bloke at the mic talking about his tour of duty in Vietnam.   My ears pricked up when he said he was in the 6 RAR.  I IM'd Alfie and after about 30 mins I knew this clown had never been anywhere near Vietnam, and certainly had no connection with the 6 RAR. He did not know the date of the Battle at Long Tan, which was one of the most fierce battles fought by Aussie troops in Vietnam and D Company of the 6 RAR took heavy casualties, one of my brothers among them.   Alfie hates it that  I know this about him, as his whole persona on Paltalk hinges on his fabricated military career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now one would think that time would have smartened Alfie up and he would have at least read up on the 6 RAR,  familiarizing himself with where they were stationed and get a few clues about the Battle at Long Tan in particular.  But not our Alfie, he brazenly tries to wing it on total bullshit.  He had me in fits of laughter today as he talked about  "being in that rubber plantation in the rain, and looking down the barrel of the gun of the enemy."  Alfie's voice quivered as he recanted the horrific and terrifying experience, he said he would never want to live through again.  When asked to tell Aunty Kate where this "rubber plantation"  was Alfie drew a blank.   I took pity on him after waiting a minute and told him LONG TAN, which is why this battle is called 'the Battle at Long Tan'.    Another problem here is that Alfie typed in the room today that he served in Nam 1968-1969.  The Battle at Long Tan was fought in August 1966.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now being an Aussie I don't mind a bit of a 'yarn' and game of 'come in spinner'. We are devils for taking the piss and tugging on people's ropes.  But as the sister of a real Vietnam war hero, who was in that rubber plantation in Long Tan in 1966,  I take exception to Alfie trying to ride on the coattails  of  those heroic young men, in fact it disgusts me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alfie,  I honor our soldiers even though  I don't support the Wars in which their lives were sacrificed.  I despise people like you who trivialize their sacrifice in a chat room to make your small life feel significant.

Through the week I was sent a recording of Vooette's meltdown in Mainstream Politics.  For several days I just kept pushing it to the bottom of the pile of things to do  as I knew the outpouring was predictable.  Lots of bleeding pussies, cunt whores, and "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You can't do drama with me you half white black bitch!&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now seeing as Vooette is camera shy and doesn't post a profile or even send his photograph to a woman whose life he is about to wreck, we have NO idea whether he is BLACK or  WHITE, half or FULL anything.  What we do know is that his rants leave us with an image of what we call here in Australia " a raging Queen"  Which is a homosexual person who likes to cross dress.  His vocabulary which is not one of his strong points at best, is reduced to an unintelligible flurry of four letter expletives even a fool with a single digit IQ could manage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Vooette,  has a 'yellow belt' in hurling vile abuse at women.  Yet we hear him time and time again tell us how he 'respects women'.  MMMM.....well the displayed behavior simply doesn't match the claim.  I do recall the room pissing themselves laughing at Vooette's melt down, and others even more lame brained than he his thinking he was 'slapping' me around.  I had the fool on mute, and frankly  if I had heard this live I would have broken a rib laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vooette  several people have told me that you just can't let this go, that you are furious that you have been outed for being the fake, and predator that you are.  I had over 150 IM's supporting me, and many women thanked me for the warning.  Sorry if I screwed with your victim list.  Never mind there are plenty of dumb and desperate  women out there  who will find you irresistible.  God knows why, they must like their men on the far side of dense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rattlers on my Pal list and I know there are many, if who want the Vooette meltdown audio files,  they are classic pieces of lunacy that will have you rolling on the floor,  just leave me an off line message and I will send them.  I was thinking of sending the audio files to the USA Attorney General's Office to alert  them that this clown is masquerading as a legal professional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reputation of the USA for breeding buffoons has advanced considerably ever since George Bush Jr. starting strutting the international stage,  looking lost and bewildered as to where he was, and why he was sent there. Having Vooette running around screaming like a cast member of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le Cage Aux Folles&lt;/span&gt;,   who just discovered someone took the glue for his  stick-on fingernails, is petrol onto  the flames of an already laughable international reputation the USA has throughly earned in the past 8 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all those Paltalk clowns one meets around the place who believe that Aunty Kate is afraid of Vooette and won't go back to his room,   for a fear  of being slapped with his handbag, let me tell you it is not fear of the flying sequins that keeps me away, it is principles.   For all  of SLINK's  misgivings and his confusion about whether it is OK to reward the bad behavior of the Republican party, I have not heard of any woman he has shaken down and hurt. He does have to balls not to red dot speakers,   who disagree with him, and I don't find myself in agreement with him on much at all.  However, I do respect his courage to slog it out and not cry like a big girl's blouse and abuse his admin hat in the way Vooette did this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the audio files Vooette said that Aunty Kate only got to where she did in life hiding in a 'white' skin. There is no  doubt that people in the USA and Australia get a better ride through life if they are not dark skinned.  It is true I have never had a taxi cab go sailing past in the rain without stopping.  Other members of my family suffered much more overt discrimination than I have done, that is also true.  Vooette says I would not have achieved what I achieved if I hadn't pretended to be white.  That I would not have been accepted.  Vooette, I,  and many other Aboriginal people who are much darker than I am,  had enough talent that we achieved success in spite of the disadvantages that existed for ALL Aboriginal people regardless of skin colour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vooette, you are  only 42 years old according to a conversation we had, so YOU did not experience the discrimination of your black brothers and sisters before the Civil Right Bill was signed in the early 1960's.  All the HARD WON fights were over and your punk arse has had a free ride since by comparison.  You said that you can't trace your heritage back to slavery, that your family were FREE immigrants to the USA. Which is why you probably made that outrageous statement the week that Rosa Parks died,  which was &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Rosa Parks didn't' do anything special&lt;/span&gt;"   Remember that fight we had Vooette?  I bet there are plenty of people in Paltalk who recall that.  You didn't win that argument either and flew into one of your vile rages.  I just laughed at you then,  and I still do.  Remember I said to you then Vooette you never had to live through a time when someone said to you, "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;get to the back of the bus Nigger&lt;/span&gt;!"  And you didn't.  You came along after it was possible for black Americans to go to University and ride at the front of the bus.  As the son of free immigrants you never suffered the decades of discrimination of the black Americans who can trace their heritage back to the dark days of street lynchings and beyond.   So you sit your punk arse down  and don't try to act like a black American who shares that history of suffering, because you don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vooette with all your immigrant privileges  and opportunities that were not available to people like Buddy Romance and others,  you did nothing with those opportunities, so you come into a chat room pretending to be an educated man.   What pisses you off about a man like Obama, is that he too was born after the real fight  for civil rights were won  and he did something with the advantages. While you are a total loser who hangs around a chat program shaking down women who are desperate enough to fall for your bullshit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vooette,  being a woman and to  have achieved what I have done was quite a feat in my country, at the time, without  the disadvantages of being an Aboriginal woman, which was never concealed.  In fact my achievements were often held up as an example to other women Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal alike to show what was possible if one worked hard, and ignored the obstacles.    So you see you silly little punk, you could never take me on, I would whip your dumb arse with one hand tied behind my back and anytime you want to humiliate yourself as you did in the meltdown last week, let me know, I'll make time just for the sport.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8472207986212972822?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8472207986212972822/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8472207986212972822' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8472207986212972822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8472207986212972822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/vooette-breaks-fingernail-and-has.html' title='VOOETTE BREAKS A FINGERNAIL AND HAS A MELTDOWN'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azPx0Jks_jM/SFN41X5KItI/AAAAAAAAAB8/2UTGnT9_Y1Q/s72-c/009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-1404016722355277124</id><published>2008-06-12T21:00:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-16T17:27:44.999-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cancer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lively Oak'/><title type='text'>Lively Oak's latest unacceptable rant</title><content type='html'>I know I said I was going to be a political blogger for the rattler but something happened today that I can not let pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure how this got started. I was in and out of voo's room all day. I came back to hear lively oak screeching on the mic. (whats new about that) I sat and listened for a few minnutes tying to figure out what was going on. When I did find out i was horrified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lively Oak said that anyone who votes for McCain deserved to get cancer. She was trying to convince every one that the should not vote for him because he did not support women's health care and voted to help men who has erectile disfunction. While a noble cause, It was the &lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;WRONG &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;way to go about it. She went on and on and finaly was red dotted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the dot was removed Ms Oak started in on it was not a Paltalk TOS. Well after re looking at the TOS I did find one she was breaking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;disrupting the normal operation of any chat room or otherwise acting in a manner that negatively impacts other users or is inconsistent with the rating of a room or attempting, soliciting or abetting another to do of any of the above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes Lively Oak you were breaking TOS. &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I saw many comments in the room you needed to be dotted and many comments that were upset over what you were saying. That negatively impacts the room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that she went back on the original line of though as stated above. But that was not enough. Ms Oak then went after gizmo_210 for wanting to vote for McCain and said the following statement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gizmo_210 I hope you get cancer if you vote for McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Ms Oak wanted to tell the room that you are never cured from cancer. You are in remission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was floored when I found out. I was even more horrified when I found out that gizmo_210's mother had cancer. You do not ever tell some one with cancer in their family like that! My mother had cancer and for the first time I felt bad for gizmo_210.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not tell somone that has had cancer in thier family that you do not know what is going on. You do not wish that someone who had cancer in thier famliy that you wish that they get cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im not writing this for any other reason that I am pissed of at Lively Oak. It is sad that dispite the comments in the room she did not care to stop. She comes and cries in my pm like I can do anything. Im done with that. Lively Oak is on her own from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I got this out, I will be back to politics tomrrow.

With me just not being one to go with the hype, I ignored those comments until...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was watching the news, they were showing clips of Bush &amp; McCain in the background, I noticed something that made me do a double-take. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What grabbed my attention was when Bush's approaching the mic at an McCain event and to my astonishment, Bush help up &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;THREE&lt;/span&gt; fingers and the he continued to repeat this gesture and McCain gave Bush the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;THUMBS UP&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;!!! I still wasn't convinced until.... as Bush drawing close to McCain to shake his hand, once again held up &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;THREE&lt;/span&gt; fingers!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine my shock, I couldn't believe my eyes and I knew right away this had to be known, I couldn't kept this to myself!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Rattlers&lt;/span&gt; would want to see this and since &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Rattlers&lt;/span&gt; always want proof, I found the video and placed it here for you all to see. (For those of you that want it short and sweet, Bush's three finger salute starts at &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3:38 through 3:52&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on the video)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/25085436#25085436" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave this some more thought and I came up with two options for Bush's three finger salute:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A. Bush was letting all know; including McCain, that he (Bush) was in fact by proxy was going to have a third term or...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B. Instead of putting up two fingers in a sign of peace, Bush was putting up three fingers in a sign of war&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave it you; our dear &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Rattlers&lt;/span&gt;, to decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;They don't call me Facetious Muse for nothing &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SFG8OL-g2CI/AAAAAAAAAE0/B1F_T7pex5I/s1600-h/devil-smile.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SFG8OL-g2CI/AAAAAAAAAE0/B1F_T7pex5I/s400/devil-smile.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211153195763554338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-7671647720253335212?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/7671647720253335212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=7671647720253335212' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/7671647720253335212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/7671647720253335212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/mccain-edorses-bushs-3rd-term.html' title='MCCAIN ENDORSES BUSH&apos;S 3rd TERM'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SFG8OL-g2CI/AAAAAAAAAE0/B1F_T7pex5I/s72-c/devil-smile.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-6210488292643064787</id><published>2008-06-12T11:06:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-12T12:45:02.969-04:00</updated><title type='text'>To Satisfy The Firey Imaginations !!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Rd7ty05Gnw/SFFCQBjSv_I/AAAAAAAAAJY/OGaZ-zm-sgM/s1600-h/Friends_The_Place_Where_Love_Grows.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Rd7ty05Gnw/SFFCQBjSv_I/AAAAAAAAAJY/OGaZ-zm-sgM/s400/Friends_The_Place_Where_Love_Grows.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211019086906179570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It was a dark and lonely night online.

He is a professor of law at Stanford Law School and founder of its Center for Internet and Society. Lessig founded Creative Commons and is a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and of the Software Freedom Law Center. He is best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the iCommons iSummit 07 Lessig announced that he will stop focusing his attention on copyright and related matters, and will work on political corruption instead.[1] This new work may be partially facilitated through his wiki — “Lessig Wiki” — which he has encouraged the public to use to document cases of corruption.[2] In February 2008, a Facebook group formed by law professor John Palfrey encouraged him to run for Congress from California's 12th congressional district, the seat vacated by the death of U.S. Representative Tom Lantos. Later that month, after forming an "exploratory project", the decision was made not to run for the vacant seat.[3]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite having decided to forgo running for congress himself, Lessig remained interested in attempting to change Congress to reduce corruption.[3] To this end, he worked with political consultant Joe Trippi to launch a web based project called "Change Congress."[4] In a press conference on March 20, 2008, Lessig explained that he hoped the Change Congress website would help provide technological tools voters could use to hold their representatives accountable and reduce the influence of money on politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, Lessig earned a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Management (Wharton School) from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.A. in philosophy from the University of Cambridge (Trinity) in England, and a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to joining Stanford he taught at the Harvard Law School, where he was the Berkman Professor of Law, affiliated with the Berkman Center for Internet &amp; Society, and the University of Chicago Law School. Lessig is considered a liberal, but he clerked for two influential conservative judges: Richard Posner and Justice Antonin Scalia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lessig has emphasized in interviews that his philosophy experience at Cambridge radically changed his values and career path. Previously, he had held strong conservative or libertarian political views, desired a career in business, was a highly active Teenage Republican serving as the Youth Governor for Pennsylvania through the YMCA Youth &amp; Government program[1] in 1978 and almost pursued a Republican political career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was intended to be a year abroad at Cambridge convinced him instead to stay another two years to complete an undergraduate degree in philosophy there and develop his changed political values. During this time, he also traveled in the Eastern Bloc, so acquiring a lifelong interest in Eastern European law and politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lessig refuses to embrace the usual libertarianism. While Lessig remains skeptical of government intervention, he favors regulation by calling himself “a constitutionalist”. Because of his relative youth, and his intellectually innovative views of American legal theory, Lessig has often been cited as a potential candidate to fill vacant federal appellate judgeships in a future Democratic presidential administration.[citation needed]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his blog, Lessig has come out in favor of Democratic primary candidate Barack Obama, citing the transformative nature of Obama's campaign as one of his chief reasons. A campaign to draft Lessig to run for the US Congress from the Bay Area began in February 2008.[6]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lessig is married to human-rights lawyer Bettina Neuefeind and they have two sons, Willem Dakota Neuefeind Lessig, who was born on September 7, 2003,[14] and Teo Elias Neuefeind Lessig, who was born on January 15, 2007.[15]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In May 2005, it was revealed that Lessig had experienced sexual abuse by the director at the American Boychoir School which he had attended as an adolescent.[16] Lessig reached a settlement with the school in the past, under confidential terms. He revealed his experiences in the course of representing another student victim, John Hardwicke, in court.[17] In August 2006, he succeeded in persuading the New Jersey Supreme Court to radically restrict the scope of immunity that had protected nonprofits which failed to prevent sexual abuse from legal liability.[18]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above information from:  &lt;br /&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Lessig&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8411307999514462884?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8411307999514462884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8411307999514462884' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8411307999514462884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8411307999514462884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-i-am-voting-for-barack-obama.html' title='WHY I AM VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA.'/><author><name>zoemushi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-1326288901114646689</id><published>2008-06-12T03:45:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-12T03:57:07.483-04:00</updated><title type='text'>FROM PK51:  I'M VOTING REPUBLICAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FiQJ9Xp0xxU&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FiQJ9Xp0xxU&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Pk51, this is really good satire.

Tigger here your political blogger for the rattler!! Ill be posting everyonce in a while on the political happenings. Here we go with my first post!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I hang out on paltalk one of the things I have noticed lately is that people have started to misquote passages from both of Sen Obama's books. I think it is a pathetic attempt to discredit him. The following information comes from Sen Obama's own campain website at &lt;a href="http://factcheck.barackobama.com/"&gt;http://factcheck.barackobama.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://factcheck.barackobama.com/factcheck/2008/05/30/smear_email_quoting_obamas_boo.php"&gt;Smear Email ''Quoting'' Obama's Books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 30, 2008&lt;br /&gt;A recent email forward allegedly quotes passages from Senator Obama's books related to race and religion. The majority of these are alterations, deliberate manipulations, and in one case, an outright fabrication, of Obama's words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EMAIL  From Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'&lt;br /&gt;FULL QUOTE  Nothing close to this quote appears in Dreams from My Father&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EMAIL  From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'&lt;br /&gt;FULL QUOTE  "He offered to start me off at ten thousand dollars the first year, with a two-thousand-dollar travel allowance to buy a car; the salary would go up if things worked out. After he was gone, I took the long way home, along the East River promenade, and tried to figure out what to make of the man. He was smart, I decided. He seemed committed to his work. Still, there was something about him that made me wary. A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white--he'd said himself that that was a problem." [Page 142]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EMAIL  From Dream s of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'&lt;br /&gt;FULL QUOTE   "All my life, I had carried a single image of my father, one that I had sometimes rebelled against but had never questioned, one that I had later tried to take as my own. The brilliant scholar, the generous friend, the upstanding leader--my father had been all those things. All those things and more, because except for that one brief visit in Hawaii, he had never been present to foil the image, because I hadn't seen what perhaps most men see at some point in their lives: their father's body shrinking, their father's best hopes dashed, their father's face lined with grief and regret.Yes, I'd seen weakness in other men--Gramps and his disappointments, Lolo and his compromise. But these men had become object lessons for me, men I might love but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela. And if later I saw that the black men I knew--Frank or Ray or Will or Rafiq--fell short of such lofty standards; if I had learned to respect these men for the struggles they went through, recognizing them as my own--my father's voice had nevertheless remained untainted, inspiring, rebuking, granting or withholding approval. You do not work hard enough, Barry. You must help in your people's struggle. Wake up, black man!Now, as I sat in the glow of a single light bulb, rocking slightly on a hard-backed chair, that image had suddenly vanished. Replaced by...what? A bitter drunk? An abusive husband? A defeated, lonely bureaucrat? To think that all my life I had been wrestling with nothing more than a ghost!" [Page 220]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EMAIL  From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'&lt;br /&gt;FULL QUOTE  "Whenever I appear before immigrant audiences, I can count on some good-natured ribbing from my staff after my speech; according to them, my remarks always follow a three-part structure: "I am your friend," "[Fill in the home country] has been a cradle of civilization," and "You embody the American dream." They're right, my message is simple, for what I've come to understand is that my mere presence before these newly minted Americans serves notice that they matter, that they are voters critical to my success and full-fledged citizens deserving of respect.Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." [Page 260-261]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are going to quote Sen Obama's Books or speeches, Quote him correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out for truth Justice and the Obama way!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tigger&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8706036248012863315?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8706036248012863315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8706036248012863315' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8706036248012863315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8706036248012863315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/misquoting-sen-obamas-books-not-right.html' title='MisQuoting Sen Obama&apos;s Books not right!!'/><author><name>Snuggle_Bunny_2</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_T3UZ0UyOOpg/SEnY1v6Gw3I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RbICXa5RzwY/S220/jason+and+I+obama+primary.JPG'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3762513741119837629</id><published>2008-06-11T12:38:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T12:40:28.875-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WHY OBAMA?</title><content type='html'>Here is THE number 1 reason people are voting for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;Sad but true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cg9J8yAQ5yU&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cg9J8yAQ5yU&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till next time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DRAMA PRO&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-3762513741119837629?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/3762513741119837629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=3762513741119837629' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3762513741119837629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3762513741119837629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-obama.html' title='WHY OBAMA?'/><author><name>Drama Pro</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-7678522174272058815</id><published>2008-06-11T05:17:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T06:04:49.129-04:00</updated><title type='text'>PREDATORS, WHETHER ONLINE OR IN REAL LIFE SHOULD NEVER BE PROTECTED.</title><content type='html'>Dear Rattlers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you would all know it takes courage to stand up and blow the whistle on anyone, especially someone you know is liked and admired by many people.  However, when that person is shown to be a total bastard who uses his wiles to lure vulnerable women into situations where he can seriously hurt them,  and I find out about it, I will speak up.  Whether that predator is online or in my own family, I would not remain silent and protect him or her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I did not want to do was disclose the identity of Lord Voo's hapless and foolish victim, as I felt she may have suffered enough for her stupidity. However,  when I saw the comments posted onto my blog post that could only have come from Mitsuk, which were largely convoluted ramblings from a demented woman, who crossed the line by mentioning my children, she left me with no choice.  Nothing she said has any basis in fact.  For instance my daughter has never been married at all, much less to a Muslim.  But to bring  my children into her sordid little affair at all caused me to take off my gloves and expose her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I came on line today I had 120 IM's as a result of the blog post,  Vooronica's Closet. All of them supportive,  and a number from people who don't usually agree with me on much, but did in this case.  No decent person would shield and protect any kind of predator.  To do so enables the person to offend time and time again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Mitsuk's rage that I was exposing 'her man' who still controls her, she lashed out with a barrage of largely distorted information mixed in with a few truths that had been shared with her when we were friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing in my online life of which I am ashamed, and none of the very nice men I have shared private moments with have left me with anything but the sweetest memories.  They were straight with me, no lies, no bullshit and this was reciprocated.  We remain friends today, and some of the despicable lies Mitsuk said about these men, whom she knows nothing about, shows what  a vile person she really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel no shame whatsoever that I have had internet relationships.  None of the people were predators from whom I left my partner, without as much as a name.  Nor have I ever enticed anyone to leave their partner.  In fact  "are you married" is my first question, the answer determines where we go from there. If I had ever fallen foul to a predator like Lord Voo I would have been thoroughly humiliated at my own gullibility, but I would also have tried to warn other women.  I would not sit in his chat room watching him flirt with other women and talk of other conquests. Perhaps Mitsuk is cruel enough to want to see other women suffer as she did, I don't have that in me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With regard to Mistuk's last remark that I am a "slut"  that is NO insult to a woman of nearly 59, and I hope I will still be called that when I am 79! But I am a very private slut, one man at a time.  I don't sit on the internet while my husband is at work planning to leave him for a man whose name I don't know and then after he breaks my heart into little pieces, attack another woman who exposes him.  Mitsuk get some therapy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-7678522174272058815?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/7678522174272058815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=7678522174272058815' title='92 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/7678522174272058815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/7678522174272058815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/predators-whether-online-or-on-real.html' title='PREDATORS, WHETHER ONLINE OR IN REAL LIFE SHOULD NEVER BE PROTECTED.'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>92</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3726883087106552059</id><published>2008-06-10T23:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T23:06:07.374-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/25085736#25085736" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think as you will about Keith Olberman, this was precious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They don't call me Facetious Muse for nothing &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SE9AJjncISI/AAAAAAAAAEs/g-H23sVEA40/s1600-h/devil-smile.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SE9AJjncISI/AAAAAAAAAEs/g-H23sVEA40/s400/devil-smile.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210453826814615842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-3726883087106552059?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/3726883087106552059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=3726883087106552059' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3726883087106552059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3726883087106552059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/walk-down-memory-lane.html' title='A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SE9AJjncISI/AAAAAAAAAEs/g-H23sVEA40/s72-c/devil-smile.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-6027856161799410198</id><published>2008-06-10T23:58:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T23:15:42.719-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paleoconservative'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='auntykate_1'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Moderate Conservative45'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='isabellah-1'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LordMercifulVoo'/><title type='text'>VOORONICA'S CLOSET</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Dear Rattlers have you ever wondered was causes Paltalk's  phoney 'extraordinarie' Lord Merciless Voo to exhibit irrational and unbalanced behaviour of the kind we witnessed this week? When he  vacillated from condemning Barack Obama one day for addressing AIPAC, to a position where Palestine wouldn't be suffering like they do if not for the 'terrorist group' Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  "It is all Hamas's fault! GO ISREAL&lt;/span&gt;!"  he screamed not 24 hours after wanting to have Obama hog tied for upsetting the Independents by kissing AIPAC's arse.   I told Voo he was a political Pollyanna if he thinks the road to the White House does not go through AIPAC and not to think about giving up his day job to enter politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer to how all this flip-flopping manifests is simple really, this man is barking mad. Which would be all fine and dandy if he didn't prey on vulnerable women and leave at least 2 that I know almost suicidal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those Rattlers with an eye for detail you will have picked up me referring to Lord Voo, as Lord Merciless Voo, and I do this for a reason.  Not only is Lord Merciless Voo not a Lawyer,  which many of you have already worked out, he is a cruel cyber predator who preys on vulnerable lonely women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me share a sad story with you which may help some other poor hapless and vulnerable woman to avoid his, shall we say allure, in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this story is not second hand gossip, I was close to the person this happened to and spent hours of my time talking her back from the edge when her world seemed to fall apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you know Rattlers there a many lonely men and women on these chat programs and even more monsters willing to take advantage of them for nothing more than an act of cruelty or a financial shake down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman in questioned IM'd me one night to tell me she was "&lt;i&gt;in love with Voo&lt;/i&gt;."   Hold on a moment "&lt;i&gt;Voo is a chat room nic&lt;/i&gt;"  I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, he is being very guarded, but I know how he feels about me&lt;/i&gt;"  she purred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do you know his real name? Have you even seen a photograph, or spoken live on cam with Voo?&lt;/i&gt;" I  asked, astounded that this seemingly intelligent woman was telling me she had fallen in love with a chat room persona who was being so guarded he didn't share any of his personal details with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days later....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am going to leave my husband,  I have been unhappy for a long time&lt;/i&gt;,"  she said, trying her best to convince me that she was not doing this on the flimsy evidence before me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad story cut to the chase....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman in question, found a new apartment, purchased new furniture, and of course splurged on some very pretty new underwear, which she said made Lord Voo giggle like a school boy.  One night her partner of 14 years came home from work and found her with her bags in the hall ready to leave.  She moved into her love nest and waited with pounding heart for Lord Voo to fly into her arms for the much anticipated passionate embrace.  Lord Voo had tantalized his victim with sweet whisperings that he is a 'big man'.  He had told his victim that she had to prove this was what she wanted by leaving her husband.  Then,  and only then, would he trust her with his personal information, like a name!  She was still calling him Voo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She waited and waited.  He did not return her calls and went AWOL from Paltalk.  She was beside herself.  Heartbroken and thoroughly humiliated.  But such is the power of cyber fantasy she "still loved him".  Aunty Kate took a cyber whip to her dumb arse and tried to get her to wake up and smell the coffee.  She finally made contact with Lord Voo and he was dismissive of her distress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think you need to be on your own for a while to be sure this is what you want.&lt;/i&gt;"  He said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still no name, no photograph, no sweet words of reassurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a week of crying her self to the point of exhaustion she saw the light.  She realized what a great guy she had left sobbing in the hallway and it is a big cold world out there for a woman who has had a hunky man around to protect her for 14 years.  Her husband took her back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I spoke to her a few weeks later she was still talking about Voo, &lt;i&gt; "I still love him&lt;/i&gt;" she said,  speculating on the what if's.  She could not see that the only 'what if'  here was, what if  Lord Voo had been a TOTAL monster and let her husband know what she had done.  He did have her phone number and had called her at home several times, after all the telephone is way more intimate.  She can be grateful Lord Merciless Voo's game is only to hurt the women he targets.  I felt very sorry for this woman but distanced myself from her on the belief that she is a total flake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Voo has been very nervous that I might blow the whistle on him for this, and another incident where his bullshit of being a Lawyer was blown wide when he needed to come clean on project we had been working on to set him up as a radio talk show host on Paltalk.  He pulled the now infamous stunt of giving SillyFandango and BIGMAC_2008 Admin hats.  He is as cunning as a shit house rat, he knew this would be a deal breaker for me as it brought his judgment into serious question.  I handed in my Admin hat and we had a parting of the ways that  ensured I would no longer have input into the project for the radio chat program.  I has spent many hours working with Lord Voo on this and had offered to pay the $3000 to secure a Paltalk Green Room.  But he had to come clean with his real name so his credentials as a Lawyer could be verified as I was being asked to help secure sponsors and involve people, whom like myself don't work with phoneys.  His fear of being exposed saw him try several lame attempts to drive me from his room, and his rule of no BANS stuffed him somewhat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;However, all that changed this week when Lord Merciless Voo tried to flex his cyber muscle in an attempt to leave me bleeding in the hall as we all saw he had done with Vixee.  I did try to warn Lord Voo in text that I am not Vixee, and he would need to come up to meet me in a fight because I was not going down into the gutter with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can't do drama with me!  You don't run shit around here, get out!&lt;/i&gt;"  he screamed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He launched into his usual blustering tired old tirade.  I mean there are only so many times one can call a person a &lt;i&gt;"Mother fucking cock sucking, dripping  pussy whore,&lt;/i&gt;" before it becomes comedic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never being one to run to or from a fight, I raised my hand to speak, taking the fight right up too Lord Voo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Isabellah was cautioning from the sidelines &lt;i&gt;"Careful Kate&lt;/i&gt;"   Isabellah was told to line up behind Lord Voo and I would give her a serve after I was done with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Voo was shitting his pants about now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; "&lt;i&gt;You stay on topic you whore!&lt;/i&gt;"  He screamed.  "&lt;i&gt;You can't do drama with me you wrinkly old dripping pussy fake black woman"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Voo did you learn to present arguments like that at law school?"  &lt;/i&gt;I teased as I waited for the mic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rattlers as you know Lord Voo expects his Admins to take ALL kinds of vile abuse without losing control and using the RED DOT.   Lord Voo was going to be sorely tested here and he knew it.&lt;br /&gt;My turn came to take the mic and I got no more than half a sentence out and I was red dotted.&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Stay on topic bitch!&lt;/i&gt;" he screamed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The speaker before me had been Paleoconservative, and before him that slimy  amphibian from the Everglades,  Moderate Conservative.  The most vile pig of a man to ever draw a  hog's  breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; Lord Voo lost badly and he is too stupid to see it.  Poor sad man he is the laughing stock of every decent person on Paltalk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who think this post is lies and bullshit and created to show Lord Voo in a bad light, I challenge Lord Voo to face off with me anywhere anytime and we'll see who is lying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Merciful Voo is a vile cyber predator, he uses people when it suits him to do so, and hurts women for sport. When he gets close to being exposed, he hits self-destruct and tries to crush anyone who can expose him.  Sorry Lord Merciless Voo you picked a fight with the wrong person this time.  From a young woman I have been fighting men who make you look like the cockroach you are and left them flat out on the floor.  Vermin I squash under foot, and you are vermin Lord Merciless Voo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-6027856161799410198?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/6027856161799410198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=6027856161799410198' title='42 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/6027856161799410198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/6027856161799410198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/vooronicas-closet.html' title='VOORONICA&apos;S CLOSET'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>42</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-5697536960799403282</id><published>2008-06-10T14:01:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T17:03:17.822-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MagnumPotent'/><title type='text'>BREAKING NEWS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mKIuHiT9hT0/SE7CCdd9wQI/AAAAAAAAAHM/ZztbwbaGPQ4/s1600-h/Magnum+Potent.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210315166440079618" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mKIuHiT9hT0/SE7CCdd9wQI/AAAAAAAAAHM/ZztbwbaGPQ4/s320/Magnum+Potent.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good news: MagnumPotent has recovered from his wounds and is again making the Social Issues circuit. Last month Magnum used HEAD-OUT, a tool developed by a group of former neocons to help their fellow conservatives pull their heads out of their asses. Unfortunately Magnum used the wrong size, causing his face and neck to press against his coccyx as they passed through the gaping black hole beneath. However injurious, his use of the tool proved successful, and he is shown here (right) gazing toward the light for the first time in eight years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WideStance, the makers of HEAD-OUT, stand by their product and deny any liability in the unfortunate incident. "Each device comes with detailed instructions and warnings about what can happen if you use the wrong size," &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mKIuHiT9hT0/SE7CmuAqxyI/AAAAAAAAAHU/a2Bpjr03Bz8/s1600-h/hedout.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210315789355894562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mKIuHiT9hT0/SE7CmuAqxyI/AAAAAAAAAHU/a2Bpjr03Bz8/s320/hedout.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;said a WideStance spokesman.

So here it is, short and sweet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;naldrvr: &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Any Republican have the stones to answer?

Thanks to VoteFromAbroad.org.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She acted like she had a right to the nomination&lt;/strong&gt;. The ancient Greeks called this "Hubris." A couple of dozen Internet years ago, her folks, like Terry McAuliffe and James Carville said she was the inevitable nominee and anybody who opposed her would live to regret it. This was a huge mistake. Nobody has a right to the nomination, especially not someone who has been in the Senate just 7 years. This really caused a lot of irritation among Democrats. She should have known better. Here are the &lt;a href="http://www.intrade.com/" target="_blank"&gt;intrade.com&lt;/a&gt; trading prices on her nomination. She was running at 50%, not 100% in early 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She actually believed it&lt;/strong&gt;. Acting like you own the nomination to scare off opponents is one thing. Actually believing it yourself is something else. She really believed it. This was foolish since she knew she had heavyweight opponents including Gov. Bill Richardson, Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen Joe Biden, and Sen. John Edwards (plus Sen. Obama, who was not a threat in early 2007). In particular, she expected to get the nomination on Feb. 5 and didn't have any Plan B in case that didn't work. Nothing. The lack of a Plan B led to 11 straight wins by Obama, which is where he collected most of his delegates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She forgot she was in a primary&lt;/strong&gt;. Due to the above, she campaigned from day 1 as if she were in a general election. She refused to admit that her vote for the Iraq war as a mistake. That might have been a good strategy for the general election, but was a terrible one when talking to activist Democrats. John Edwards apologized for his vote for the war and was forgiven. She could have said: "I'm sorry for my vote. I didn't believe the President of the United States would lie to the country and to Congress. I was wrong. He lied. From now until January 2009, if he says Tuesday follows Monday, I will check three calendars before even considering the possibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She didn't understand the rules&lt;/strong&gt;. Mark Penn, her "brilliant" strategist thought California was winner-take-all and that would wrap it up. All Democratic primaries are proportional, mostly by congressional district. It is very hard to accumulate a lot of delegates in any one primary. If she had studied all 56 delegate selection plans, she would have known that. It is all spelled out in exhausting detail&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She ignored red states and caucuses&lt;/strong&gt;. Another huge mistake. She put in a massive effort in Ohio, where 2 million people voted in the primary, and netted 7 delegates. Obama netted 7 delegates in the Alaska caucuses by getting just 6600 people to show up (Ohio has 141 pledged delegates, but the proportionality rules mean it's very hard to win more than about half so she won 74 to his 67). Anyone who read the DSP's could have seen this coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She didn't understand the Internet&lt;/strong&gt;. Clinton had a Website, but her fundraising focused on getting rich donors to cough up $2300 for a plate of rubber chicken--the same way Bill did it in 1992. The world changed and she missed it. Obama outraised her by tens of millions of dollars and used the money effectively. Obama saw what Howard Dean did in 2004 and realized what was happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She didn't run as a woman&lt;/strong&gt;. Obama didn't run as the black candidate because in every state except a couple in the South, there are more white Democrats than black Democrats. In contrast, there are a lot more female Democrats than male Democrats, especially among primary voters. She could have used the slogan: "Time for a change; we have had 43 male Presidents, now is the time for a female President." She could have energized huge numbers of women plus some number of men as well. Look at how intense her support among women was at the end. She failed to harness that support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She found her voice too late&lt;/strong&gt;. For months she kept changing her pitch, probably as a result of internal infighting among her consultants (Solis Doyle vs. Penn to start with). Finally, she decided to stand up for blue-collar workers who feel battered by the modern world. It was effective and it worked, but by then it was too late. In contrast, Obama's pitch today is exactly what it was a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that was the end of her dream. A number of blogs used the headline: "When dreams collide" to describe the primaries. But someone had to win and someone had to lose. Obama won because he understood the nature of the game was to collect the most delegates and used his considerable skills to achieve that. Had Clinton not made some of the mistakes described above (especially ignoring caucus states), she might have won. But she did blaze a trail and the next time a woman runs for President, she is much more likely to be judged as just another candidate rather than a strange novelty. After all, nobody thinks it odd any more when a woman runs for the Senate. California, Washington, and Maine even have a pair of women senators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you have forgotten, about a year ago the national press declared that the nomination was over for both parties. It was going to be a "subway series" between Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. Remember that? They didn't do such a great job. Clinton and Giuliani had name recognition going for them, which matters a lot early on but much less after the campaign starts. Clinton, although definitely plausible, was never inevitable. Giuliani, a thrice-married married pro-abortion, pro-gay-rights former New York mayor was never even plausible as the Republican nominee, despite all the polls showing that everybody knew his name. David Moore of the University of New Hampshire has a &lt;a href="http://www.pollster.com/blogs/moore_the_frontrunner_myths.php" target="_blank"&gt;column&lt;/a&gt; on the front-runner myth over at pollster.com. Around here, the motto is "in politics a week is a long time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;vacreeper2003&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-4850530548768052063?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/4850530548768052063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=4850530548768052063' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4850530548768052063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4850530548768052063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/06/hillarys-hubris-why-she-lost.html' title='HILLARY&apos;S HUBRIS -

All it takes is an 5 second sound-bite, laziness and a twist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's take the latest &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Media Twist&lt;/span&gt; on Obama's so called flipping and flopping on Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times in the last 18 months have you heard Obama was anti-Israel?  How many times in the last week have you heard that Obama has flipped flopped on his so called anti-Israel views?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many otherwise well educated people have fallen for this latest &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Media Twist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; without no knowledge what and why the media has thrown that out there for us all to eat without checking for spoilage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Media Twist&lt;/span&gt; start with Obama was anti-Israel? How many of you know that answer? Don't worry this isn't a quiz, this is one of the few times I believe giving you the facts are more important than teaching you to research for yourself (but for those of you that want to research try wiki, uncyclopedia.org, wikihow or knol for a start and one with cited sources you can check).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March of 2007 Obama said to a small group of democrats in Iowa &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people,... If we could get some movement among Palestinian leadership, what I'd like to see is a loosening up of some of the restrictions on providing aid directly to the Palestinian people."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course this was all it took to start the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Media Twist&lt;/span&gt; (what do you want to bet that &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Faux Noise&lt;/span&gt; made the first dance move).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course through out Obama's campaigning all his critics can find is what associations of his have said like Rev. Wright, who some claim is anti-Israel, but if one takes the time to look at Obama and his actions, they would be surprise to find out that Obama's voting record is far from anti-Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's take a break from the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Media Twist&lt;/span&gt; and look at some facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 2006, Obama denounced Hamas while praising former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Obama stated that Sharon's role in the conflict had always been "absolutely important and constructive."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama was also a co-sponsor of the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006, which includes "members of the international community to avoid contact with and refrain from financially supporting the terrorist organization Hamas until it agrees to recognize Israel, renounce violence, disarm, and accept prior agreements, including the Roadmap."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama defended Israel's response to the killing of eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapping of two others near the border with Lebanon, telling NBC's Tim Russert on August 22, 2006, "I don't think there is any nation that would not have reacted the way Israel did after two soldiers had been snatched. I support Israel's response to take some action in protecting themselves."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006 Israel-Hezbollah War Obama said, "don't fault Israel for wanting to rid their border with Lebanon from those Katyusha missiles that can fire in and harm Israeli citizens, so I think that any cease fire would have to be premised on the removal of those missiles."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American Israel Public Affairs Committee on 2 March 2007, Obama called Israel "our strongest ally in the region," and stated: "We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs." On the Palestinian Authority's new unity government, Obama said: "We should all be concerned about the agreement negotiated among Palestinians in Mecca last month."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has also discussed in more general terms his views about the Palestinians tête-à-tête the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On June 4, 2007, he stated that:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...resolution [to the conflict] and a better life for all people... is something that can be achieved, but it's going to require some soul-searching on the Palestinian side. They have to recognize Israel's right to exist; they have to renounce violence and terrorism as a tool to achieve their political ends; they have to abide by agreements. In that context, I think the Israelis will gladly say, "Let's move forward negotiations that would allow them to live side by side with the Palestinians in peace and security."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lastly but not leastly Obama denounced former President Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas. Obama said "Hamas is not a state, Hamas is a terrorist organization."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you have the facts, can you really say Obama's record shows him being anti-Israel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember that the media is ran by fallible people that can be controlled, brought and coerced, I now return you to enjoy the latest top hits of &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Media Twist&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;They don't call me Facetious Muse for nothing&lt;a onblur="try

Somebody call the President, we've just solved the gas crisis in America!  Or at least, the cow gas crisis! According to our inventor, twenty percent of all global methane emissions come from ruminant* animals.  Wow, that's a lot of cow gas.  So he invented a cow-mounted mini-factory to capture methane and convert it into a biomass that can be used as feed and in adhesives and cosmetics.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's an important fact:  Ninety five percent of ruminant animal methane emissions exit the digestive tract as exhalation, rather than flatulence.  That's why the methane intake tubes are on the front of the cow, not the rear, my dear.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you own some cows, it's time to strap-on the Gas Factory and make hay while the sun is shining! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*******&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Ruminant animals have a four stomach digestive tract and include cows, sheep, goats, camels and water buffalo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-1915616139163686043?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/1915616139163686043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=1915616139163686043' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1915616139163686043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1915616139163686043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/holy-cow-gasoline-for-autos-is-pricey.html' title='HOLY COW, GASOLINE/PETROL FOR AUTOS IS PRICEY!'/><author><name>zoemushi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bI_5ZhvwsNc/SD5_EOuw2bI/AAAAAAAAAGk/HZMtOepzSGQ/s72-c/gas%2520factory.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-4005500724675617625</id><published>2008-05-25T19:47:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-25T20:02:33.644-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Bush should be tried for murder</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lzH2-3mOnaw/SDn6xRn7M3I/AAAAAAAAAA4/Ho1q00TYqnA/s1600-h/51Y2Uil4HML._SL500_AA240_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lzH2-3mOnaw/SDn6xRn7M3I/AAAAAAAAAA4/Ho1q00TYqnA/s320/51Y2Uil4HML._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204466568854713202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vincent Bugliosi, the American attorney best known for prosecuting Charlie Manson, is releasing a new book this week, titled &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/159315481X/"&gt;The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;/em&gt;in which he argues that, well, the title kinda gives it away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/vincent-bugliosi/the-prosecution-of-george_b_102427.html"&gt;Huffington Post&lt;/a&gt; had an exclusive look at the book before being released.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;" If Bush, in fact, intentionally misled this nation into war, what is the proper punishment for him? Since many Americans routinely want criminal defendants to be executed for murdering only one person, if we weren’t speaking of the president of the United States as the defendant here, to discuss anything less than the death penalty for someone responsible for over 100,000 deaths would on its face seem ludicrous.** But we are dealing with the president of the United States here.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the other hand, the intensity of rage against Bush in America has been such (it never came remotely this close with Clinton because, at bottom, there was nothing of any real substance to have any serious rage against him for) that if I heard it once I heard it ten times that “someone should put a bullet in his head.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That, fortunately, is just loose talk, and even more fortunately not the way we do things in America. In any event, if an American jury were to find Bush guilty of first degree murder, it would be up to them to decide what the appropriate punishment should be, one of their options being the imposition of the death penalty.  "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For someone who intentionally led the lies to the American people (and the world)  over 935 times for an illegal invasion in a foreign sovereign country linked to raising WORLD OIL prices.... What is the  appropriate sentence for a crime of this magnitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has now caused more deaths than Saddam has ever caused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has now caused more homelessness than all the natural disasters combined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has lied more times than Clinton ever did and has specifically stated. "I don't testify... ever" (Indicating he thinks he is above the law.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has now caused more US resentment around the globe than any other President.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; What should be the outcome of the murder trial of George W Bush?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney's office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. His forthcoming book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder, is available May 27.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/vincent-bugliosi/the-prosecution-of-george_b_102427.html"&gt;Read More at Huffington Post&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;a href="http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/05/22/vincent-bugliosi-bush-should-be-tried-for-murder/"&gt;Read More at Crooks + Liars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-4005500724675617625?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/4005500724675617625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=4005500724675617625' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4005500724675617625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4005500724675617625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/bush-should-be-tried-for-murder.html' title='Bush should be tried for murder'/><author><name>Nephilim70</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lzH2-3mOnaw/SDn6xRn7M3I/AAAAAAAAAA4/Ho1q00TYqnA/s72-c/51Y2Uil4HML._SL500_AA240_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-7072988285674319440</id><published>2008-05-21T15:39:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-21T15:55:46.715-04:00</updated><title type='text'>9-11 Lesson learnt?</title><content type='html'>9-11 ...

A lifetime in Paltalk terms. Late last evening I ventured into Mainstream Politics to see if the conversation had progressed beyond the Hillary/Obama hyperbole.  Who should be at the microphone but that  master of hyperbole himself,   Moderate Conservative.   One after the other and with rapid succession he  gave an elocution as to why he would not vote for  Barack  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HUSSIEN&lt;/span&gt;  Obama.  The emphasis  is always on the HUSSIEN.  He listed not wearing of the lapel pin, and saluting the flag, but then he out did himself with stupidity. "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;He has done nothing about changing his name."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It really must be time to start handing out the straight jackets here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moderate Conservative went on and on about Obama being a Muslim, as are many people these days after every other stupid bit of nonsense about Barack Obama has left them (Republican supporters)  and the Clinton supporters looking like fools in the eyes of anyone with half a brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then just when I thought it could not get any sillier Dusty44 has his turn at the microphone. Dusty is stuck on Rev.Wright and the 5 second sound byte taken from his now famous  "God Damn America"  sermon.  It seems that Dusty has never bothered to listen to the WHOLE sermon.  Dusty must have another reason for not liking what Rev.Wright said, because when you come down to it  Rev.Wright was in essence telling the truth, with some personal opinions tossed it.  Dusty claims that in spite of Obama being the metaphorical  God child of Rev.Wright he will vote for him ahead of voting for a Republican.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kimbee, a paranoid Zionist,  weighed in with a prize piece of idiocy, when she said, "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Obama doesn't identify with being white that's for sure."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know that being WHITE was a requirement for a President of the USA.  It has been the status quo for a few hundred years, but where is it written that ONLY a white man, or one who identifies with being white, can run for President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HUSSIEN &lt;/span&gt;Obama, is an American.  Born and raised in Hawaii, for the most part.  He did not chose his parents or his name.  He did chose his religion which is Christian.  This is the ONLY flaw I can find against him.  I mean given a choice WHY Christianity?  A religion with more blood on its hands than any religion on the planet.  But I suppose we can't blame sweet Jesus for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if Obama was  a Muslim?  Where is it written that only white Christian males, can be President of the USA?  America is in the shit hole right now with that inherent historical combination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dusty took the microphone at the suggestion that it is quite possible with over 11,000,000 Muslims living in the USA that a Muslim may put his/her hand up for the job of President some time in the future. "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There will never be a Muslim President of the USA, not in my lifetime&lt;/span&gt;" he declared.  He went on about no Muslims being President because the USA respects and protects its woman from abuse.  Dusty needs to visit a rape center close by and start sprouting that bullshit.  There have been more female Muslim heads of state than witnessed by any other religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dusty's life is nearly over and coming up behind him are a bunch of more enlightened, less bigoted, less racist individuals than made up the population of the USA of his  generation.&lt;br /&gt;Did any of those big ole boys in Paris Texas think that those "Nigrers" they was a hangin, would one day be given basic human rights that would eventually lead to a contender for the Presidency,  in their lifetime?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The saddest thing about watching all of this hateful, racist, bigoted rhetoric is that it represents Americans attacking Americans. Trying to downgrade, and devalue, anyone who is not white or Christian. The need for the USA to unite has never been stronger since WW2.  They are under attack, and it is coming from within, yet day after day we hear the same nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many like Dusty, and Moderate Conservative, are too racist or lily-livered to hear the truth when it is coming from a person who identifies with being American American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are very  few black Americans with no mixed blood. For the most part people who identify with being African American are all shades of brown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Hussien Obama, is neither black or white,  his a combination of the two. He is  first and foremost an American, who loves his country enough to risk his life running for President.  He has made himself a walking target for every lunatic on a grassy knoll, and the best these morons,   who oppose his right  to stand for the Presidency, have is talk about a pin on a lapel.   They persist with idiotic lies about not having saluted and respected the flag. Or   having the misfortune to have had a  Pastor in his church try to ride on the coat tails of  the publicity that comes with an election campaign. But the prize goes to Moderate Conservative, for "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Obama has done nothing to change his name."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is not Jewish, so why would he change his name to be more acceptable in the USA? Like Bob Dylan had to do, because Zimmerman was too challenging for the general population of the USA circa 1962.   As it has turned out Bob Dylan could call himself Adolf Eichmann and he'd still be a musical icon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Hussien Obama, does not have to change his name.   He is what he is, the best candidate for the President of the USA, I have seen in my lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Rattlers, if Adolf Hilter's grandson was standing for the Presidency as a Democrat,  and did not bother to change his name, he should still win over ANY Republican. Look at their record over the past 8 years. Why would anyone in their right mind give them another chance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-1642731139313241429?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/1642731139313241429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=1642731139313241429' title='71 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1642731139313241429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1642731139313241429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/for-crying-out-loud-america-smarten-up.html' title='FOR CRYING OUT LOUD USA SMARTEN UP!'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_azPx0Jks_jM/SC9cP79VyEI/AAAAAAAAAB0/P2Gi8tyUNdQ/s72-c/Obama+images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>71</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3450712168778007961</id><published>2008-05-17T01:03:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-17T01:09:19.796-04:00</updated><title type='text'>"I WISH I WAS A BUSH...

Add that to the majority of Americans don't even think we should still be in Iraq, McCain has a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain has been quoted as saying we might be in Iraq for an hundred years; and although he might be right, has a lot of Americans in an uproar. McCain's attempts to distanced himself from Bush are hindered by McCain's own spoken word that he will keep us in Iraq and has no exit plan what-so-ever.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, the war in Iraq isn't the pressing issues most Americans are worried about now, it's the economy and McCain's support of Bush tax cuts isn't sitting good with most Americans. With the cost of food hitting is highest increase in a month in 18 years, the cost of gas and insurance rates going unchecked, McCain has a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With some Americans believing that Obama must follow at least some of Rev Wright's ideologues, you might say 'aha McCain going to get the vote', but not so quick McCain has been getting a pretty stress free ride so far but when the campaigning for general elections go into full swing Haggis's words will be associated with McCain. Remember McCain actively sought Hagee’s support and appeared on stage with him, McCain has a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's take a little walk down memory lane when the famous words "It's the economy, stupid" were spoken. It was a phrase widely used during Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush. For a time, Bush was considered unbeatable because of foreign policy developments such as the end of the Cold War and the Persian Gulf War. The phrase, coined by Clinton campaign strategist James Carville, refers to the notion that Clinton was a better choice because Bush had not adequately addressed the economy, which had recently undergone a recession. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When ever the economy becomes the upmost concern of the citizens, there is a party change in the house and since no one can deny the economy is a huge issue by-passing the war Iraq, McCain has nothing but problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;They don't call me Facetious Muse for nothing &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SCuYmVYdLXI/AAAAAAAAADM/y_9VclrtLnA/s1600-h/devil-smile.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SCuYmVYdLXI/AAAAAAAAADM/y_9VclrtLnA/s400/devil-smile.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200417979071540594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-1766080672783978124?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/1766080672783978124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=1766080672783978124' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1766080672783978124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/1766080672783978124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/mccain-has-problems.html' title='MCCAIN HAS PROBLEMS'/><author><name>MysticSeaMaiden</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07517459119151313667</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gb_kdeWeiwU/SCuX21YdLWI/AAAAAAAAADE/eckqNdPFJYY/s72-c/mccain.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-1147658890174005244</id><published>2008-05-14T02:27:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-14T02:49:44.044-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A COMPETITION TO PRODUCE THE DUMBEST STATEMENT EVER UTTERED ON PALTALK  ENTRIES OPEN NOW.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rattlers I propose that we have a contest to find THE dumbest words ever uttered by someone on Paltalk and to kick this competition off to a flying start let me give you ONE of the likely winners:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;Posted by&lt;/span&gt; MrArchieBunker:&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;If blacks stopped whining, race would not be such a big issue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Which part of that statement is hard to understand?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Can you top this?

LODGE YOUR PROTEST TODAY!</title><content type='html'>Rattlers Paltalk is going through a kind of metamorphosis.  It does this from time to time, it is kind of like watching a snake change its skin, only to remain a snake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Way Street, has managed to hit rock bottom with its free flowing racial attacks and overt bigotry. But hey, is anyone surprised?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mainstream Politics with Lord Voo has been trying to get some kind of identity since it came back onto the scene, following the implosion of a couple of rooms, and the breaking of several engagements.  Leaving people like MrArchieBunker thoroughly pissed because he had already been to the Salvation Army and picked up a stunning dress from the racks for 'bigger girls.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that every time I venture into Mainstream Politics there is some new rule, in a room which is said to have no rules. The admins are so confused they dot each other, and Voo who is always lurking in the background jumps on the mic, and dots the admin who dotted the admin.&lt;br /&gt;Very occasionally a chat gets going that people with more than a single digit IQ can participate.  But no such luck today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I entered the room the line of hands was endless, and the topic was RACISM.  I mean it is nearly impossible to keep that topic out of the USA Presidential election, which is THE ONLY topic discussed in the room at the best of times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A speaker I had not heard before, call Nommo, posed a question.  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What does the USA have to do to start fixing the problem of racism"&lt;/span&gt; I am paraphrasing here, and if Nommo reads this she may like to correct me, but I think it is close enough for this purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was mentioned that Australia had apologized to Aboriginal people, but according to WisdomX, this was merely tokenism.  A pat on the head and permission to have our ceremonies and play the Didge in public, seemed to be his summation of the historical event.  I put my hand up and waited in line for my turn to address both Nommo and WisdomX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RG, was getting very very nervous with all this talk of race, as he often does.  I do understand that discussions of this type make the admins in any room work very hard as all the racists sit on the edge of their seats trying to see how far they can go with the 'Nigger' and 'Abo' racial slurs before their arse is dotted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Voo wanted to try and deflect the chat away from race and asked folk to get away from the topic.  Could it be that we were going to talk about something other than the US Presidential election.  Hells bells!  I was all for that.  I was granted special leave to briefly set WisdomX right concerning the apology from the Rudd Govt to the Aboriginal people of Australia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minute I started to speak the text went berserk with the usual bullshit "She's not Aboriginal"  "She's white"  I know  you have all seen this crap before.  I ignored the abuse, and made my point.  However, I did notice some new nics in the room hurling abuse at me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One person in particular called  Mohoghany , something or other, a good nic for a wooden head if she had been able to spell Mahoghany. Anyway, Miss. Mohoghany was proud to tell the whole room that Voo had seen her 'naked'. As if that was something special for either of them.  Oh my Miss. Mohoghany was telling the rest of the Voo Groupies to "back off bitch" this man is hers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Miss. Mohoghany who does not know me from Adam, joined in the shit throwing contest at your AuntyKate.  I asked her if she would add me to her list. Her reply was "I only like men"  My goodness Rattlers this little lady thought AuntyKate was interested in her pussy!  All I wanted to do was give her a bit of information to educate her dumb arse about what it is to be Aboriginal in Australia, and that shades of black or white are irrelevant. I do get tired of having to educate these idiots, but education IS the best defense against racism, so I try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It became apparent from the room text that Voo had a number of 'buddies'  in the room. Voo groupies and groupies of the groupies.  Try hards like AbettyHRH, who is still smarting for the dot she got when I was an admin in the room and she thought waving her arms around '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;screaming I am an attorney and a  friend of Voo's&lt;/span&gt;" meant something to me, when she was disrupting the room. I have wondered if fat Betty doesn't have greater illusions of grandeur with the moniker AbettyHRH,  or does that stand for Her Royal Hindarse?  When I referred to fat Betty as having a FAT ARSE, she went off like a freaking fire cracker on the 4th of July.  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You racist bitch, you think all black women have fat arses&lt;/span&gt;"  HAHAHAHHAA....and I thought this kind of paranoia  was the reserve of  Jews, who call you anti-Semite if you tell them they have a wedgie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss.Mohogany took the microphone and plum forgot where she was. She was '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;threatening to cut out my juggler&lt;/span&gt;"  Mercy me.  She left Voo with no option but to dot her arse for that outburst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The WHISPERS were going crazy egging on the dim witted Miss. Mohoghany to 'take Aunty Kate on'. Aunty Kate nipped that silly nonsense in the bud and gave Miss. Mohoghany a TINY TASTE of the arse whippin she'd get if the let her ambition ride above her ability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is when LordVoo took the mic, and asked his boisterous  buddies to settle down, '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;this is not a drama room, and you won't turn it into one&lt;/span&gt;,'  he said, in that fatherly tone, that really only works for that gentlest of gentlemen Buddy Romance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course Mainstream Politics is a DRAMA ROOM, that is what it has always been.  Me and other admins TRIED to bring a bit of intelligence and variety to the chat, but we had to deal with Voo putting hats on imbeciles like SillyFandango and BigMac_2008,  or is it 2010 now? Who are NOTHING BUT DRAMA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who in their right mind would subject themselves to wearing a hat with those morons? Or that monumental bitch and all time Paltalk slut Isabella?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally,  I only go into Mainstream Politics when I am in the mood for a little drama.  But Voo is going to have to give me more to work with than,  that silly little slag Mohogany and that even dumber cow AbettyHRH, who tries to convince educated people that she is an Attorney.  I would doubt from her ineptitude in text that she has a high school diploma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are rooms for chat, rooms for sex, rooms for drama, rooms for music.  Paltalk has them all. Whatever will we do if  Voo restricts the drama in Mainstream?  Whatever will we  talk about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't tell us we'll have to stoop so low as to go onto 2wayshitstreet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOOOO... Vooo you would not be so cruel to your loyal supporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RATTLERS LODGE YOUR PROTEST TODAY!  DON'T LET VOO GO SOFT ON US. WE NEED A DRAMA ROOM TO VENT OUR RAGE AT THE DUMB ARSE REPUBLICANS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never mind, Voo will change his mind tomorrow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-2381021351147016306?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/2381021351147016306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=2381021351147016306' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2381021351147016306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2381021351147016306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/important-notice-mainstream-politics-is.html' title='IMPORTANT NOTICE:  MAINSTREAM POLITICS IS NO LONGER A DRAMA ROOM.

An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" and the Lord answered, "Have you seen the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all irreplaceable and able to run on diet coke and left overs, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure almost anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and she will do every thing with only two hands." &lt;br /&gt;The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." "But I won't." The Lord protested. " I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick and can work 18 hour days." &lt;br /&gt;The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But she is so soft." The Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish." &lt;br /&gt;" Will she be able to think?" asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate." &lt;br /&gt;The angel then noticed something and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak." The Lord corrected, "it's a tear." &lt;br /&gt;"What's a tear for?" the angel asked. The lord said, " the tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain , her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief, and her pride." &lt;br /&gt;The angel was impressed. "You are genius lord. You thought of everything. Woman is truly an impressive creation." And she is. &lt;br /&gt;Women have strength that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They don't take no for an answer when they believe there's a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They love unconditionally. They grieve at the loss of a family member yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. Women come in all shapes and sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run, or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. &lt;br /&gt;The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope, and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ps-- this description cannot include auntycunt ;)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;pss-- this was sent to me in email-- thought i'd share it:)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-3176331026192842132?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/3176331026192842132/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=3176331026192842132' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3176331026192842132'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3176331026192842132'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/what-women-are-made-of.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;What Women Are Made Of &lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>IsabellaSays</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Rd7ty05Gnw/SChzM3f4q3I/AAAAAAAAAJI/FGQLxtyEZLc/s72-c/patriarchy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-8831885645417299371</id><published>2008-05-11T23:21:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T23:55:57.287-04:00</updated><title type='text'>CASUALTIES american</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lq4EU4WlHK4/SCe_iAGYbKI/AAAAAAAAAQs/uB-Llo4UMjE/s1600-h/coffins.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lq4EU4WlHK4/SCe_iAGYbKI/AAAAAAAAAQs/uB-Llo4UMjE/s400/coffins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199334885685750946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s how the figures add up, just for Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have thus far produced 300,000 psychological casualties, 320,000 brain injury casualties, plus 35,000 (probably understated) officially reported “normal” casualties.&lt;br /&gt;This adds up to 655,000 US casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, an average of just under 101,000 Americans killed or wounded every year since the wars began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the idea of 101,000 casualties for every extra year in Iraq and Afghanistan gets out and infects the voting public, imagine the effect on the currently torpid national debate over leaving in five years versus fifteen years!&lt;br /&gt;source... &lt;a href="http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn05102008.html"&gt;counterpunch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-8831885645417299371?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/8831885645417299371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=8831885645417299371' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8831885645417299371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/8831885645417299371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/casualties-american.html' title='CASUALTIES american'/><author><name>ononotagain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2889/599/1600/bentbabe.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lq4EU4WlHK4/SCe_iAGYbKI/AAAAAAAAAQs/uB-Llo4UMjE/s72-c/coffins.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-2728928897586349546</id><published>2008-05-11T21:26:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T22:08:47.140-04:00</updated><title type='text'>DOUBLE STANDARDS FROM THE USA...IS THERE A LIMIT?</title><content type='html'>Dear Rattlers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have all been witness to the breathtaking double standards coming out of the USA, particularly from the Clinton/McCain supporters,  over the 'shock horror' comments made by Rev. Wright, with nary  a  word about that  evil lunatic Pasta Parsley.  I have to call him PASTA, because this is NOT a man of the cloth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary Clinton  got that sanctimonious look and expressed her concerns.  Now Mr. &amp;amp; Mrs. Clinton have been close friends of Rev Wright for many years. He has been a quest at the White House on numerous occasions. However, Hillary gets that '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;rabbit in the headlights&lt;/span&gt;' expression when Wright goes very  public with views during this campaign.  Does anyone believe a close friend of Rev Wrights would NOT know is views on most issues?  Does anyone see a double standard here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Double standards abound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning in Mainstream Politics, Moderate Conservative let his ambition go above his ability, when he tried to get the 'drama' going with me.  He thought that I would crumble at being asked to "suck my dick."  Why any self respecting woman would want to do something the mother of his children won't do beats me.  Now this kind of sexually suggestive retort is about all MC and the other Repukes around the place can muster when challenged on their political views. It is clear from their clumsy use of language that NONE of them get close enough to ANY pussy, to even pat one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being an adult female, who has a sideline income writing erotica,  I don't have inhibitions about fighting fire with fire and scorching the arses of these silly little wankers,  with a barrage of vulgar 'dirty words' that send them running home to Momma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What fascinates me is the double standard of some of the other females in a room when this kind of exchange is going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paltalkers like AmberL who don't say a word, when MC calls me and other women all the low sluts, and whores he can lend his limited  vocabulary too. But when a woman stands up and fights back and slaps the shit out of him, the likes of AmberL start calling the women, myself in this instance, a 'potty mouth'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this is curiouser and curiouser.   Is AmberL  so  accustomed to being around men who talk like this to women,   she does not hear what is being said until the female responds?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My theory is that  stupid women like AmberL probably take this kind of verbal abuse every day of their pathetic lives, and can't stand to see a woman with the fiber to bitch slap their arse  out of town.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-2728928897586349546?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/2728928897586349546/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=2728928897586349546' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2728928897586349546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2728928897586349546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/double-standards-from-usais-there-limit.html' title='DOUBLE STANDARDS FROM THE USA...IS THERE A LIMIT?'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-5381631668786745183</id><published>2008-05-11T17:03:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T17:15:35.435-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Love Of A Mother</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Rd7ty05Gnw/SCdh63f4q1I/AAAAAAAAAI4/Ls6ie4roboQ/s1600-h/middleast20usoncoffinslb5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Let's look at what he said in response the the video showing that crazy snake oil salesman, Pastor Rob Parsley, who McCain was nearly pissing his pants with excitement to have in his orbit.  McCain stuttered and stumbled over his words,  and even went as far as to suggest that it should be Pastor Parsley "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Standing up here not me"&lt;/span&gt;.  For those who missed the video,  here it is again for your convenience. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-4e9e97f6a2719ea3" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt5.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D4e9e97f6a2719ea3%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330258849%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6EBF400CFA93F124FB67E44C7B5146CC4719A301.6A74E68FEB4C289E7B211ED1211A264A9B2BFE3B%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D4e9e97f6a2719ea3%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DQKXMyqMtgGla8VeSgkYPKPFZBYA&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt5.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D4e9e97f6a2719ea3%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330258849%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6EBF400CFA93F124FB67E44C7B5146CC4719A301.6A74E68FEB4C289E7B211ED1211A264A9B2BFE3B%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D4e9e97f6a2719ea3%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DQKXMyqMtgGla8VeSgkYPKPFZBYA&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After viewing this insane man AKA Pastor Rod Parsley:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TommyJohnson44 said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Never before did McCain talk about any of his pastors the way Obama talked about Wright as being almost family. Never before did McCain lie and say he didnt know the things his pastor was saying. What a pathetic attempt Kate, almost as pathetic as Keith Olberman. Whats even more pathetic than your attempt to smear McCain is Obamas throwing Wright under the bus for politcal expediency. No sooner had his said he could no more disown Rev Wright than he could the black race he chunked him under the bus and rolled over him several times. Its clear to anyone with a brain the only reason Obama has now tried to distance himself from Rev Wright is because he is a typical liberal politician and nothing more. Any fool who believes Obama will give everyone the same healthcare congress gets and we will all pay less for it belongs in an insane asylum."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Tommy you moron!  McCain elevates Pastor Parsley to a level Christians usually reserve for Jesus Christ!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I  am honored today to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;have one of the truly great leaders of America.  A moral compass, a spiritual leader, Rab Parsley"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think you can even equate the HOME TRUTHS spoken by Pastor Wright, compared to the maniacal hate speech from Rod Parsley, a sleaze bag in a fancy set of threads, you are as insane as both Parsley and McCain. Have yourself scheduled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is REALLY pissing you Repukes off with Wright/Obama incident is that NONE of you expected OBAMA to denounce a black man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama was correct not to denounce Wright for speaking the truth from the pulpit, regardless of how unpalatable these truths were to WHITE AMERICANS. Because Pastor Wright was correct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, after Wright's speech at the National Press Club, and the divisive remarks, and posturing of Wright that screamed this man either has his own agenda, or he is on the Clinton payroll, he left Obama with NO choice but to denounce him. And that would have taken a lot of courage  and GOOD JUDGMENT to do so. Obama didn't throw anyone under a bus. Pastor Wright was the architect of his own humiliation and I hope he got his 30 pieces of silver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TommyJohnson44: With regard to HOW a country with the wealth and revenues of the USA can afford universal health care, you need to expand your mind and research ALL the developed countries which have had universal health care programs running like clockwork for decades. There is no need for the USA to try and reinvent the wheel here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear Americans like this make me wonder if there are not millions more like TommyJohnson44 who seem to have a case of Stockholm Syndrome. This is a psychological response where a hostage has an unyielding loyalty to the hostage taker. The Bush administration abducted the USA and has held its people hostage for 8years! And morons like TommyJohnson44 LOVE him for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-5085107118680044884?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=4e9e97f6a2719ea3&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/5085107118680044884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=5085107118680044884' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/5085107118680044884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/5085107118680044884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/tommyjohnson44have-yourself-scheduled.html' title='TOMMYJOHNSON44...HAVE YOURSELF SCHEDULED'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_azPx0Jks_jM/SCZ2xyLzpyI/AAAAAAAAABs/uRB0vzVoez8/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-862382317417034877</id><published>2008-05-09T21:25:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T19:25:12.461-04:00</updated><title type='text'>JOHN McCAIN'S SPIRITUAL ADVISOR....BE VERY VERY AFRAID</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-bf97d33223ac5758" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v6.nonxt5.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dbf97d33223ac5758%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330258849%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6669DF932F32FDE6739218FF2864F1B600C1B8B4.20AC39C6AE19DA4075B39CE2DA62CD82BA6B110E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dbf97d33223ac5758%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DVGQO39sNVucq9lM-iKt41skHz70&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v6.nonxt5.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dbf97d33223ac5758%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330258849%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6669DF932F32FDE6739218FF2864F1B600C1B8B4.20AC39C6AE19DA4075B39CE2DA62CD82BA6B110E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dbf97d33223ac5758%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DVGQO39sNVucq9lM-iKt41skHz70&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Rattlers,  This afternoon I took this video into Mainstream Politics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXZbIGJrDkg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a short time, long enough to view the 1:48 min video clip Moderate Conservative put his hand up. He took the microphone and in between all the 'pussy' talk and things penetrating various orifice, I was left wondering if MC is perhaps BI-SEXUAL. He seems to have a SWINGING obsessive personality disorder. When it comes to sex ANY hole will do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moderate Conservative went ballistic, calling me anti-American, mixed in with a volley of foul expletives he yearns to hurl at long suffering wife but lacks the guts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"S&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;he hates America&lt;/span&gt;"  he screamed, having an  apoplexy.  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;she  just comes here to  bash Americans...she never bashes  her own country."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want a bet?  Ask the former Howard supporters from Australia who skulk around in dark corners licking their wounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moderate Conservative and I go back a long way on Paltalk. To the days when Moderate Conservative was called ILOVERUSHLIMBAUGH or something similar, and he was anything but MODERATE in his support of George.W. Bush and the Republican Party. He voted for George.W. Bush not ONCE but TWICE! And proud of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometime during 2005 he must have sobered up long enough to realize that his wife was struggling to pay the mortgage, he wasn't getting laid anymore and that Bush had screwed the US economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly he had an epiphany. He saw the light! Alleluia, praise the Lord. He changed his nic to MODERATE CONSERVATIVE and abandoned the sinking ship of Republican fools. Night after night he took the mic, begging forgiveness for not having seen the truth sooner. Yeah, that would have been good. If more idiots had seen the truth sooner there would be one million more Iraqi's and over 4000 American troops alive today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Rattlers we all know the old adage '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;old leopards do not change their spots&lt;/span&gt;'. Well Moderate Conservative IS and always will be a right wing conservative. He showed that today when he immediately jumped to McCain's defense with regard to this very damning video, where McCain thanks Pastor Parsley for his spiritual guidance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moderate Conservative maintains that he supported OBAMA, but stopped doing so when the 'truth' about Obama started coming out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I can't vote for anyone with a Muslim name...linked to Saddam Hussien"  &lt;/span&gt;he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Hussien Obama has had this name all of his life as far as I know. There was never a secret, hidden, truth about his name. Rattlers I wonder if in MC's doohickey brain he has even stopped to pondered how utterly ridiculous that sounds?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the Anglo name GEORGE. How many men with that name thoughout history have been killers or even mass murderers? Let's start with King George IV of England whose armies ruthlessly invaded countries and killed indigenous people who resisted their women being raped and having their land and natural resources plundered. Yet, MC voted for a man called GEORGE AT LEAST TWICE, because it would be safe to presume he voted for George Bush Snr. also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Kate doesn't come here to debate, she comes to bash America, because she can't get a man.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MC, is a sad jilted Paltalk willie-wanker,  whom I let into an IM ONCE, and then blocked, when it became apparent that he comes to Paltalk to find pathetic females who will degrade themselves by helping jerks like him spank their sad little monkey. He certainly does not come here to debate. HOW does someone who voted for BUSH twice live down that mistake in a lifetime? Or think ANYONE would take him seriously in a debate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rattlers please watch the video posted and judge for yourselves. Would you jump to defend this man? Or call someone who brought this video to you anti-American?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you praise this man and thank him for his spiritual guidance? Would you welcome him to share the stage with you during an election campaign and say " &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I  am honored today to have one of the truly great leaders of America.  A moral compass, a spiritual leader, Rab Parsley"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well John McCain has done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes dear Rattlers you heard right he said "Rab" could it be that McCain had a 'senior moment' and thought he was talking to Rabbi Parsley and stopped himself in the nick of time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The McCain goes onto say "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Thank you Rob for your leadership and spiritual guidance&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain's minders were probably sending auto cue massages about now saying "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;psst, John..the guys name is Rod" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R O D....Rod, how hard a name is that? If McCain were to win the Presidency how will he cope on the international stage when he has to get his effete brain around names like : Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the President of Indonesia. &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it is not McCain's bumbling buffoonery alone that makes this video scary, apart from the fact that McCain clearly reveres this man. No, it is also the scary stuff coming out of Pastor Rod Parsley himself. He opens his sermon with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Islam is an ANTI-CHRIST  religion that intends, through violence to conquer the world"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Question:&lt;/span&gt; Where did Pastor Parsley do his divinity studies? Is there another CHRIST we don't know about? I know of only one and he was Jesus the Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a Muslim dear Rattler's but I know enough about Islam to know that Jesus is one of the most revered prophets of Islam. The teachings of Jesus are part and parcel of the foundation of the teachings of Islam. But the Muslim Rattlers may correct me if I am wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Parsley continues:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"The fact is America was founded.....and I'm going to stagger you here...the fact is America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am staggered by is the absolute lunacy of this snake oil salesman, for that is surely all he is. Can't you just see him at a Trade Fair?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ladies and gentlemen I am going to stagger you here.... but this potion, will give you eternal youth. Just $5.00 a bottle, or a low low price of two for $8.00 life will spring eternal"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Parsley's Ministry is the World Harvest Church.  They HARVEST alright.  They harvest real estate, and as many $US as the suckers will throw at them. That is an ARMANI suit and silk tie he is wearing, and those fancy rags will set you back a few bucks. And did you catch the glimpse of the gold watch? Rolex? and the ring on his hand? This guy is trying to upstage the gross display of worshiping gold idolatry the Vatican has turned into a tourist industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rattlers I am not vague when it comes to USA history, and I have tried to find reference to the Founding Fathers "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;having, in part, an intention to destroy this false religion&lt;/span&gt;'"and I am staggered by the lack of ANY reference to that 'fact' as stated by Pastor Parsley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can it be that the Pastor tells 'porkies' and we need to have him disrobed?  We'd get a few bucks for that fancy suit from a '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;schmutter&lt;/span&gt;' dealer. We could probably feed half the kids starving in Mayanmar, post Cyclone Nargis,  if we can flog off his watch also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moderate Conservative stick to trying to get some visually impaired or mentally challenged woman to stroke your ego, while you stroke your dick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as political discussion goes, ANYONE who voted for GEORGE. W. BUSH twice and then tries to defend McCain's idolizing support of this sleazy carnival conjurer, known as Pastor Parsley, has no credibility and there is no possible chance of redemption in this lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;When you get to the Pearly Gates ask your God for forgiveness, while I weep for the people you helped send to their death in Iraq and Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. And if you happen to bump into Jesus up there, you need to ask his forgiveness also. More Christians have killed in the name of Jesus, than ANY religion in history.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-862382317417034877?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=bf97d33223ac5758&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/862382317417034877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=862382317417034877' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/862382317417034877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/862382317417034877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/john-mc-cains-spiritual-advisorbe-very.html' title='JOHN McCAIN&apos;S SPIRITUAL ADVISOR....BE VERY VERY AFRAID'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-3638555843604242371</id><published>2008-05-09T20:02:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-09T20:45:34.294-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DonChicago48'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pookie_gin'/><title type='text'>MATCH MADE IN  HEAVEN, PALTALK STYLE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lsjMnSbPWdI/SCTn73EmAGI/AAAAAAAAABY/FKKBG9GFuiw/s1600-h/cartoon_aliens.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lsjMnSbPWdI/SCTn73EmAGI/AAAAAAAAABY/FKKBG9GFuiw/s320/cartoon_aliens.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198534885473910882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;small&gt;It’s either a courting ritual or they’ve just mated.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another paltalk marriage in the making, it warms my old heart.  I always say don't reject love and it seems that DonChicago48 and pookie_gin have been listening and courting each other. I always knew they couldn't be real neocons, wonder how long it will be before Don and Pookie fly to New Jersey and get married. I think it is time to let New Jersey know  to get the rice and doves ready, Don and pookie are making plans now. Insiders have told me Don is personally inviting&lt;a href="http://www.glaad.org/"&gt;  GLAAD&lt;/a&gt; and pookie refused to consummate the marriage unless &lt;a href="http://online.logcabin.org/"&gt;Log Cabin Republicans&lt;/a&gt; are invited.  No!!! you didn't know that pookie was a transgender? (sorry pookie I thought everyone knew)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You still don't believe me, The Pratttler?

He was jumping around like Golum. However, nothing he or any of the other Republican supporting dipshits around the place can say will diminish that glorious moment, because I typed the wrong state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Rattlers, I really must apologize for the error.  In the euphoria of the moment,  and state of near exhaustion after a day's writing more intense copy than these blogs present, I got the state wrong. Me bad, I had completely overlooked the fact that OBAMA had already taken South Carolina. I shall borrow Hagfaultin's Dunces Cap for the rest of the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geezus Claws, my mistake was trivial.  The mistakes of the Bush supporters and the Republicans in general has cost lives, stripped your country of nearly ALL its National pride and sent your dollar down the plug hole etc...etc...etc... With a prospect of a deepening recession still well and truly on the cards.  Yet in spite of this hideous record of failures,  clowns like you   continue to lend your  support to a President, Government  and political party that may go down in history as being the MOST disastrous the USA has ever known.

The list is considerable, but I have to give a special mention to Mr. Enigma,  XN_Trick, Dennis the Menace,  Zen Friendly, Buds, Tung Fu, Samir the Galiean,  Oh Donna, NDP,  and like I said the list is considerable and my friends know who they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I got an IM from my mate Dennis the Menace who told me about OBAMA's   decisive victory in North Carolina, and that the OBAMA supporters were having an understandable 'gloat' in Mainstream Politics.   The room was at an all time record number of  147 bums on seats , with only a few obscure black nics at the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cardinal Fang piped Obama's acceptance speech live into the room, and the crowd in the auditorium was going wild. Not since the Beatles hit the USA has a crowd erupted quite like this.  A  clear indicator that Obama has won  over generation Y. The text in Mainstream was flying past at a speed that was making me dizzy and must have scared the crap out of anyone new to the Paltalk experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was something very conspicuously absent, and that was the almost total lack of  McCain supporters in the room.   A few die hards like Outlastyou and others who are too bloody stupid to even bother with, were doing there best to kill the mood.  But they didn't have a snowflake's chance in hell. This was a moment in history being shared by Obama supporters and friends and supporters of the OBAMA supporters from all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Obama can maintain this kind of enthusiastic, and infectious support he MAY just get there.  I will never be more pleased in my entire life to be proven wrong, when I have said I didn't  think Obama was going to break through all the barricades that would prevent him from becoming  the next President of the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listening to Obama's speech and realizing he had no script, no auto cues,  his words were flowing, erudite, and undeniably heartfelt, gave me goosebumps from 17,000 k's away.  It was truly inspirational and if anyone doubts this man's ability to lead the USA out of the black hole of despair achieved after 8 years of the Bush administration, just play that speech again.  This is not a man who just talks the talk.  He is appealing to the truly patriotic Americans who love their country and its people and asking for support to give him a chance to make the changes needed to start to turn things around. If he is bullshitting, then nominate for the BEST ACTOR Oscar for 2009. He will be a shoe in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Obama thanked the people of North Carolina for believing in him I could hear a song in my head, a well known Pete Seeger classic, Where have all the flowers gone.  But I was singing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Where have all the repukes gone...long time passing. Where all the repukes gone ?...long time ago. Where have all the repukes gone?  Gone to bathrooms everyone...when will they ever learn?  When will they ever learn?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all the useless crap that goes down in Paltalk, sharing this  moment with so many people I admire who have been behind Obama from the start, and have never stumbled even after the endless dirty tricks from the Clinton camp,  this experience today made up for all the times I have thought...what the fuck am I doing here?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-2617297125404503224?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/2617297125404503224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=2617297125404503224' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2617297125404503224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/2617297125404503224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/yes-you-can-special-paltalk-moment-as.html' title='YES YOU CAN! ...A SPECIAL PALTALK MOMENT AS OBAMA TAKES NTH CAROLINA'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azPx0Jks_jM/SCGpOZ2g-1I/AAAAAAAAABc/hp3MNwydm0A/s72-c/obama_wideweb__470x277,0.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18027804.post-4395730503820040823</id><published>2008-05-06T19:35:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T20:05:25.855-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WAITING....WAITING....Mr.ArchieBlurter.

Expect whatever happens."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Hey Blurter, (which in the UK is an arsehole) :  this threat was repeated by both Alfie_00 and that old HagFaultin in Slink's Swamp recently.  I' m still waiting Blurter,   as are many other Paltalkers.  We are very keen to see what the three of you can come up with.  What kind of cutting wit, or crushing insults can you conjure at your 'think tank' is what we'd all like to see.  We have other questions also:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Is this delay due to the fact that NONE of you are sufficiently literate to even attempt a blog without a ghost writer? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Will ANY of you have the courage to put into hard copy some of the racist filth you spew at the microphone in Slink's Swamp?  I strongly suggest that your Australian cohorts read the links below before attempting a blog expressing their honest views on life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/defamation.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/rv.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Come on Blurter,  writing a blog is not so hard.  Heavens above even TommyJohnson can manage it. It takes him sometime and the syntax is appalling, but readable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps  even you are ashamed and embarrassed to be associating with low life scum who get off on describing the graphic details of the sexual abuse of small children.  I can understand that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I doubt that is the reason you are holding us in suspense for "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;expect whatever happens&lt;/span&gt;"  to bowl me over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blurter, I'll keep reminding you of your threat to make a blog, until you manage to figure out how to turn on spell check.  The real problem you will have is not with spelling and grammar, it will be with overall composition.  Writing anything that people will want to read takes a modicum of skill, so you cretinous lot are buggered before you begin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-4395730503820040823?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/4395730503820040823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=4395730503820040823' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4395730503820040823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4395730503820040823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/waitingwaitingmrarchieblurter.html' title='WAITING....WAITING....Mr.ArchieBlurter.

Well see, she  has jumped on the temp halting of the summer gas tax band-wagon and as we all should know the gas tax is to go for the cost of highway repairs and if the gas taxes are halted for a while, well those highway repairs will need to be paid for somehow. Of course Hillary hasn't shared with us her plan for the 300,000 jobs that would be lost if in fact the summer gas tax is halted and all for a whopping savings to the average American of $25 for the entire summer.&lt;/p&gt;Hillary supporters seem to either forget or not know that Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton used her position on the Senate Armed Services Committee to push legislation that outsourced thousands of U.S. jobs in the telecommunications industry to India, the Philippines, and China&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in 2006. She did this by  helping to relax requirements that aided the investments of General Electric Company and former CEO Jack Welch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So again, I really would love to know reasons for voting for Hillary besides "she is a female and so am I," or "it will get Bill back into the White House." Can anyone give me three reasons?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No I didn't forget to give you the answers, I was just helping you be honest and not cheat. And the long awaiting answers are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) D. None of the above. Statement was made by Hillary Clinton 6/29/2004&lt;br /&gt;(2) D. None of the above.

NO RACIAL SLURS ALLOWED...BUT VILE RACIAL ATTACKS AGAINST ABORIGINAL PEOPLE IS ENCOURAGED</title><content type='html'>The disgraceful display of indecent behaviour in SLINK's room today, done with his full knowledge and support, when Alfie spoke in graphic detail about the sexual abuse of small children crossed  the line of anything that is tolerated around decent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people who come to Paltalk have been victims of sexual abuse, and trivializing this horrific crime for Palsport  is beyond the pale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2Way Street has a rule NO RACIA&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L &lt;/span&gt;SLURS posted in the banner.  Alfie paused frequently in his graphic descriptions today to  say &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"these are your people"&lt;/span&gt;. Neither the victims or the perpetrators of the crimes he detailed are related to me in anyway.  The  only connection between myself and the victims and perpetrators  is that  we are Aboriginal people.  When Alfie kept repeating "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;these are your people"&lt;/span&gt; his is implying that ALL Aboriginal men are child abusers, including I presume those in my family.  This is racial stereotyping at its very worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is anyone saying to the people of Austria,"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;these are your people&lt;/span&gt;" when talking about the house of horrors recently discovered where a man held his daughter captive for 24 years and fathered 7 children with her?  Of course not.  Intelligent people don't attack a whole race of people for the crimes of a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did anyone from the Aboriginal communities point fingers at the whitefellas when about 10 children were brutally abused in a variety of ways, resulting in death, at the end of last year. Did we come into Paltalk or anywhere else saying "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;these are your people"&lt;/span&gt;.  Of course not.  Child abuse is a heart wrenching crime no matter where and when it happens, and only the lowest of the low, would even think to use it as a weapon to say to Aboriginal people "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;this is what you are, these are your people&lt;/span&gt;."  It is blatantly racist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet SLINK allowed this vile attack on Aboriginal people today, using the tragedy of the sexual abuse of Aboriginal children as a weapon. But racial slurs are not allowed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people spend so much time in the online anonymity of Paltalk, they have lost all sense of decent behaviour. That is if they ever had any.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-4258562427891741446?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/4258562427891741446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=4258562427891741446' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4258562427891741446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/4258562427891741446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/no-racial-slurs-allowedbut-vile-racial.html' title='RULES IN 2WAY STREET.

He even had seasoned old paltalkers  like OLD TEXAS DOG protesting.  Alfie sounded like he was 'boning' up reading the graphic detail of the sexual abuse of young Aboriginal children. His voice quavered with excitement talking about the rape of a baby girl. Which I do not deny has happened, but refuse to trivialize this tragedy in a chat room in response to vile racist pigs like Alfie and Highfartootin.  There is NO doubt that Alfie's cheer squad, Uncle Bob, has his penis well and truly in hand, as Alfie's lascivious  tone  talked of anal  penetration of tender flesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the strangeness here is that Alfie persistently accuses me of being a FAKE Aboriginal,  a WHITE WITCH, he has been calling me until I pointed out that was a compliment as 'white witches' are seen as a positive energy force.  So if he believes I am a fake why would he talk about child sex abuse of Aboriginal children in attempt to hurt me, because he can't take me on in  a political debate?  The answer must lie somewhere between Alfie knowing that I AM and Aboriginal woman, and the titillation he clearly got today talking about the genitals of very small children being penetrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highfartootin, a grandmother herself, clearly has not a shred of decency  to have supported Alfie using the suffering of children, any children,  for chatroom entertainment.  But then again women CAN be sexual predators also, and Highfartootin does talk about these issues at length, and it has nothing to do with concern for the children.  If it did, what has she done about it?   Should we fear for little Charlotte?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SLINK, I am all for a little chat room drama and I was quite happy to try and lift the doldrums of  your tedious room, but I can't  associate with scum like that.  Just being in the room with sick bastards, like Uncle Bob, Alfie and Highfartootin all of whom were enjoying the details of the crimes against children too much to be anything but perverted is more than I want to expose myself too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18027804-3190770671806552774?l=ratttler.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/feeds/3190770671806552774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18027804&amp;postID=3190770671806552774' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3190770671806552774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18027804/posts/default/3190770671806552774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratttler.blogspot.com/2008/05/little-children-are-sacred.html' title='LITTLE CHILDREN ARE SACRED'/><author><name>AUNTY KATE</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_azPx0Jks_jM/SB6Wlqc7sFI/AAAAAAAAABU/6TKHBDXLyNQ/s72-c/au074250.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
