So what Seamus's abuser knows about women's issues comes from his stay-at-home-wife/mom. I find that very comforting!
Of course their sons went to private school and of course she had the arduous task of supervising tutoring when needed.
She had to drive two Cadillac's! Of course this meant she to make sure someone else kept them running properly. Changing a flat tire was hard too...waiting for someone to come get her while someone else changed the flat and got the car home for her.
I am sure it took a lot of imagination and planning and effort to shop for groceries and cook dinners and make lunches too! I am tired already!
In between waiting for her sons to get home/finish with their tutors etc. I can only imagine how hard it was to schedule hair dresser appointments, full body wraps, manicures and do the hard work of sitting in a spa to relieve all the stress.
Working mothers do not get the credit they deserve. I know. I was a single mom and also caregiver for my disabled mom at the same time I was raising my daughter. I was also going to night college to finish my degree. I had numerous emergency room runs in the middle of the night monthly because of my mom's fragile health and my daughter's chronic ear infections.
I am so relieved that Mrs. Dog Abuser understands what it was all like. After all dialing for a private physician to make a house call and waiting for him is nerve wrecking to be sure.
I am truly at ease knowing how well Seamus's abusers know the plight of women, even stay at home moms who often do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, meal planning, help with homework personally and fret waiting for triple A to come if the car breaks down.
Yep. The dog abusers understand and know all there is to know about being a woman. What will the rest of us do without them?

I'm Sorry, What Did You Say?
Between "Blunt", bastardy and blunders yesterday's gamut of GOOPHER (GOP) rhetorical display of yet another "ism" exemplified by laughable if not so dangerous "Rat" Limbaugh's attack on a student as being a "femnazi" the day was wrought with attacks or defenses of the wall of racism, Nazism, misogynism being erected higher and higher against THE MAJORITY by a monied few. it would seem there is something we, THE MAJORITY, aren't noticing. It seems to me EVERYONE is bucking for a fiefdom in their anticipated NEW REGIME of American society in which WE THE PEOPLE become WE THE SERVANTS.
Can you imagine Seamus's Abusive Owner saying, " What? You said DON'T push the button? I'm sorry. I misunderstood." How about Pope Sanctimonious condemning women to the death penalty for a medically required abortion? The Blunt amendment would have, by it's generalization, left women prey to arbitrarily determined health care coverage on a case by case basis. I am sure if Rat Limbaugh was told viagra was not covered, he would have a fit (one I would like to see on video BTW if for no other reason than to see him furious if a man is infringed upon.)
What we have seen, only since yesterday, is the face of a dangerously connected power play to rich, powerful WHITE, ANGRY men who have decided the lower echelons have no right to rights.
Talk about white-washing!

Why I Am A Liberal
Like Lawrence O'Donnell I too wear my Liberal label with pride. I am constantly confused about what makes a Tea Partier, far Right Winger and judgmental Evangelicals.
I mean there are a lot of non-sequiters here. For One, Tea Party people say they don't want big government but I am sure that many of them receive Social Security, Social Security Disability and/or Workmens Compensation. I am sure they have been through the mill with health insurance companies either for themselves or a family member. Yet they seem oblivious to the fact that those they endorse are endangering these very benefits they need as much as any struggling LIBERAL. Like Tea Partiers Right Wingers also decry big government and its involvement in our lives. Yet it was the paranoia of the extreme Right that brought about the Patriot Act, wiretapping of citizens and the potential for citizens to be arrested and detained indefinitely without the rights we all took for granted. As for Evangelicals well they certainly do not seem to live the love their own holy book preaches and, it seems if there is nothing hateful to promote they have little to say. So to say I am confused about what makes people like this be the people they are is an understatement. They will rush to the camps of Gingrich and Seamus's abusive owner (I said I would not dignify him by calling him by name, didn't I?) One camp espouses hatred and stereotypes and the other will say just about anything to make the one per cent and corporate greed acceptable. I just don't get it.
But, truth be told they probably don't get me either. They don't get why I just get riled when someone like Ron Paul says the Civil rights Act interfered with Property Rights. PROPERTY RIGHTS? How insensitive can anyone be? You mean to tell me that putting a stop to racist segregation and the disenfranchisement of the Black vote is about property rights? I shudder just thinking about this one. Supposedly because businesses could no longer tell Black people they couldn't come in for a cup of coffee interfered with their property rights! ...And people wonder why I am a Liberal!
I witnessed the violence against protesting students first hand and I remember the PENN STATE MASSACRE. It was MY college opposite of City Hall in NYC that suffered property damage in the millions because police endorsed violence by "Hard Hats" (a euphemism for the right wing back then) lurked in waiting with two by fours to attack students conducting a nonviolent anti war march down Wall Street as well as police violence against students and even people having lunch in City Hall Park. Police barged into the new building of Pace University and terrorized students to the point that male students ran downstairs to the girls' dorm to get them up and away from the police that were viciously attacking anyone in sight.
Although I did not participate in FREEDOM RIDES because I just too young I had teachers in junior high school that did and most of them had stitches as a result of being beaten down South marching with Dr. King.
I am a Liberal because my mom suffered a debilitating stroke when I was nine years old and, since she was speech impaired, as a result I had to become her advocate against adults who would make fun of her because of her speech. I had to argue with bus drivers who thought it was okay to close the bus doors on a disabled woman because somehow this wold make her move more quickly. As her caregiver, this led to my becoming a advocate and social service coordinator for the disabled helping disabled people, children and their families navigate a brutal system for the assistance they were entitled to. This is why I am a Liberal.
There's another reason. I am the product of an Irish/English American father and a dark skinned Puerto Rican mother. But for where I was born WE would have experienced the hatred Black people did. There are those saying that the Civil Rights Act was forced on a people that would have eventually changed their attitude.
Oh really?...And the South would have eventually freed the slaves many historians say. Why would the South have given up on its economic advantage: below par living conditions, horrible nutrition, women for the taking to say nothing of living a life of despair without the hope of ever living a different life. Now imagine knowing your children would endure the same horrors! ...And people should wait.
Although I choose to believe there is a lot of good about humanity I am not naive. I have come to see that if someone can get over by stepping on someone else he or she will do it in the name of religion or business or winning the vote. The campaigns GOP candidates are running give testament to this and THE major election will be a referendum on whether or not American people will vote for humanity or for bias.

Where's The Love, Guys?
I guess I am following the advice that Polonious him Hamlet gave but never folllowed himself: "Brevity is the soul of wit."
As the countdown as to who the GOP nominee will be winds down I find myself having less and to say. Perhaps it is because of all the screaming at the news coverage of these candidates. Or, more to the point, I am so very weary of all the misrepresentation!
Those of us in the "know" versus those in power are going insane with the apparent appeal to the emotions approach to campaigning. In public speaking and debate this was the type of speech to avoid as it sacrificed quality and fact. In short, effective speaking was not appealing to the emotions. Yet, here we see hooligans standing up and giving standing ovations for hateful rhetoric, booing a gay serviceman and cheering capital punishment in Texas.
Right now the field has narrowed down to Gingrich, Santorum, Paul and Seamus the dog's abuser. Yep. Now I won't even mention his name at all.
But all the posturing about about how wrong social programs are and how people are bilking it I have this to say. Firstly most of the senior citizens I have known in my life barely received $800 per month in Social Security. Secondly the Federal guidelines that determine whether or not people will receive public Assistance are as follows: 1 person household, $10,890 annual income ($908 per month),
2 person household, $14,710 annual income ($1,226 per month) and for every additional person $3,820 is allowed for each additional person in a household.
Who are these people kidding? While Seamus's abusive owner claimed making $365,000 giving speeches "wasn't much" begs the question...Does HE (or any other GOP candidate) have any idea at all about these income eligibility requirements or that if a person/family makes ONE DOLLAR more a month they WILL NOT QUALIFY? As if making one dollar over this requirement is living the lavish life! It makes me think no poor Republicans attend the debates.
Nor, I imagine, do they know the humiliation one endures during the application process. If they did they might possibly understand the suffering and despair that leads to (although inexcusable) shootings at public assistance offices.
Lady Liberty invites the tired and poor to come into this nation. But the tired and poor are already here.
