Steadygain's Account Talk

Sort by newest Sort by date
Birch,

Despite Steady's willingness to be host, I'm not hijacking any more threads for political rhetoric. This needs its own forum/thread. You're not pushing my buttons, because I'm not a PARTY person. You obviously are still a donkey at heart and feel bitterly betrayed by your party. You should not, however, cast stones at heroes of the greatest generation simply because they made a mistake, while lauding the "favorite sons" cowards and bullies of our generation who not only have made many mistakes but can't see them and worse, won't admit them when they are pointed out. John McCain is excluded. He served and suffered and I have the greatest admiration and respect for him.

I reserve judgment on the candidates until I see who the VEEPS are and what platforms are proposed. The only thing for sure is that McCain guarantees at least 4 more years in Iraq and Afghanistan with no end in sight, and possible invasion of Iran, all while continuing to spend US dollars "rebuilding" Iraq and Afghanistan. This country can't afford it. For that alone, I won't vote for him. That doesn't mean I'll vote FOR the other party or that I favor what they represent at the moment. I don't trust Obama. He's spent 20 years under the tutelage of a racist preacher, and no matter how much he tries to distance himself from his mentor now and declaim those teachings, those ideas are firmly fixed and a part of his personal beliefs. If they weren't, or if he found them distasteful as he now claims, he would have left that church long ago. Hillary brings along her Clinton baggage. I haven't been impressed with her "Senatorial accomplishments." I'm still waiting on my dark horse to save the day. Lone Ranger, where are you?
 
luv2read,

It's a great country but when you say the BA is responsible for dumbing down our schools may I humbly suggest you need to read just a little more - ask someone that has kids in a public school what they think. I can talk about this all day from my own experiences. But basically the Donkey policy toward schools breaks down to this: midnight basketball and selfesteem building ahead of the academics. Multiculturalism is really an updated version of radical egalitarianism which seeks to eliminate all standards and aspirations in order to reduce everyone and everything to the same level. Sounds like a Steadygain thought. From an idelogical standpoint, multiculturalism is but a thinly veiled attack on the central principles and ideas of Western civilization. These issues and principles have given us the greatest prosperity, the highest standard of living and, more important, the greatest individual freedom everr known to man.

Despite Steady's willingness to be host, I'm not hijacking any more threads for political rhetoric. Hey that's cool.

This needs its own forum/thread. Naw - we'll be done before ya know it. Just having some fun - it can't be all Markets - all the time.

You're not pushing my buttons, because I'm not a PARTY person.
Sounds like we are definatley pushing your buttons. We're just pushing the wrong ones - but give us time we're both wired like wild mustang men. Soon you'll be begging for more:rolleyes::nuts:

You are very much a PARTY person - I could tell that right away. Oh yeal :cool:
The Dec/Rep crap is built into your wiring if you live in the USA. You can't get away from it babe - it's a combination of your Alpha and Delta Waves and now is very much a part of your wiring. So even if you say "you're not" - on a subconscious level you are definately more ONE or the OTHER.
You cast stones at heroes of the greatest generation
I guess it's possible to cast stones at Hendrix and the other heroes of that generation but why would anyone want to. "Make love not war" "Tune in - Get Experienced" "Sex, Drugs, Rock n Roll"
I reserve judgment on the candidates until I see
Playboy should be showing Hillary next month - and I'm sure the others will be in featured in other magazines.
I'm still waiting on my dark horse to save the day. Lone Ranger, where are you?

Steady,

This system is broken and needs to be fixed. I don't agree with a majority of the principles of any of the political parties, in fact I disagree with a majority of the principles they stand for, and I resent being identified as belonging to any single party. That's what pushes my buttons. What really pushes my buttons is the requirement that I be "branded" as belonging to a political party in order to exercise my constitutionally-given right to vote, and because of that branding I am prevented from fully participating in the nomination process. The primary and delegate system is a joke - as is the electoral college. The more they tweak the rules, the worse it gets. Just like jerrymandering voting districts. Bah! Humbug!

This is putting me in a really bad mood for a Friday.....:sick::mad:

Back to the observation car for some calming scenery then on to the bar car for relaxation. Choo Choo!:D

I miss Griffin!:(

One of my favorite things about our buddy Steady is that he can appreciate viewpoints that differ from his, even when not agreeing with them. Some people think that there are two opinions, theirs and the wrong one. Friend Steady knows that our great individual freedom allows everyone to voice an opinion, no matter how rigid or inflexible it is.;)

My Darling - My Love,
Thank you for your beautiful words of encouragement. Actually I kind of think of myself (and my views of this and that) as more of an enlightened state of reality and truth - and basically everyone who sees things dramatically different as being disillustioned. It is part of our SUBJECTIVE CONDITION - and we have no other choice but to see things and understand things by the wiring and paths of our brains. But my precious friend I am certain when I have time to elaborate on how I really do see things that Birch and everyone else will know I in no way, shape, or form would take from anyone's potiential - or reduce anyone in anyway. Luv2read is right - in that the "world system" itself is messed up and thus civilization lacks the unity and harmony whereby unimaginable gains could be achieved. They are essentially impossible when thrist for power and domination prevail. The overwhelming majority will always be subjected to the few in control - for the ones that truely have the power are very few in number.

Buster...Tomorrow is Friday....my day off.:D

That discussion was putting me in a bad frame of mind for it...:rolleyes:

Hmm, well in that case...as we walk into the bar car a fog rises from the floor that is so thick we can't see more than a foot in front of us. By the time we're 3 feet inside the car our bodies feel lighter and lighter and we have the sensation of floating in the air. A calm overcomes us - a peace like we never felt before - and we're drifting on an invisible blanket that is taking us to another world - to a place where are minds are totally free - where there are no inhibitions and we began to laugh and it feels wonderful. All the things of the past are forgotten - now it is only this electricy that fills us - that makes us want to spin on our toes with our arms swinging in big circles. To scream at the top of our lungs and do cartwheels and sumersauts on the mossy path that leads to the mushrooms. The mushrooms are 2 stories high - they're white with orange dots that radiate a glow that fills the astmosphere with warmth and tranquility. And that's where we are and where we will stay until you get back Monday.

How about a small bowl of candied cherries with sugar coated kisses

That could put me in the writting mood
