Keys to the White House


As the primary season moves into overdrive, it's good to consider viewpoints from the many sides of the political kaleidoscope. In particular, there are many blogs and websites dedicated to the viewpoints of centrists, moderates, and independents. These resources may use detailed research and lengthy prose to outline problems, discuss candidates, and provide opinions on what will happen as the election season unfolds.

Local Progressive Talk in the South Sound area of WA State

If you live in Seattle you may be able to get this station, if you can not then you can listen live online or even listen to the archived shows. Tacoma and Lakewood areas have great coverage (including McChord AFB and Fort Lewis).

This is not a big station. They have a mix of progressive, liberal, left, buisness, and even con shows.

It would help out a lot if many of you who live in this area or even those of you who do not would listen and promote the show I have linked below and this station so that we can make it grow and hopefully add more local progressive shows.

Join in on the blog at the link below. Please leave some comments.

Patriotism - a slight paraphrase


PAforClark's picture

Corinthians 13:4-7

Patriotism is patient, patriotism is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Patriotism is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Patriotism does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Patriotism always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

(This doesn't meet the strict rules of what constitutes a blog entry, but I found it too poignant to let it slip away in the GD.)

New Directions


| | | | |

Speaking of New Directions…

A lot of us who are just finishing emptying our lockers here and dusting up for the new crew… have remarked that there seems to be little to no real recognition for the mission that has just taken this former crew on a 10 month whirlwind tour alongside General Clark and his candidate of choice, Hillary Clinton.

A few isolated comments are very appreciated, you know who you are, but there has been no real formal address to us, as a group, and I think it might be needed now.

time again for some collective laughter

The Real Prophetic Candidate

LSophia's picture

Ultimately, Hillary will emerge from this election as the prophetic candidate, not Obama.

No matter what happens, no matter who wins, she has forever blazed a trail for women, for girls and for leaders everywhere.

She has stayed focused on her agenda, despite attempts to throw her off.

She has run her campaign her way and she has stayed in on her terms.

She has stood up to, and, more importantly, ignored the juggernaut of hatred, fear, suspicion, rage, name-calling and mean-minded vilification that would bring your average person to their knees.

I'm drinking.......... heavily

Anyone want to join me one last time?

In a few days, this place will become hopety changey heaven....my gawd it's already starting.....gag me.

It's is not something I personally will be able to stomach, so this is probably it for me.

It's been a great ride and I shall treasure the friends I have made for the rest of my life.

But maybe it's time to find life where I don't have to use blockquotes.

As I say in the title....I'm drinking heavily.

I weep for what used to be my party

I weep for my country

But on the bright side...

Looks like Hillary will win SD

And just one more.....
