Radical Right Doesn't Want Kids to Work Hard and Stay in School

At least not when the current President of the United States says to.

Is it just me or have the right-wingers become increasingly militant crazy in the last five years? To them I'd like to say we live in America, a free and democratic Republic with a freely elected leader, elected by the majority of the people as the best candidate to run our country. We live in this great nation that lets us live free and vote free. We discuss matters civilly, or at least we'd like to, in the halls of our nation's capitol and the president has a duty to us as a nation, to act as our representative. He did not go charging into a war without an exit plan, he never mistook one dictator for another, he didn't give all the favor and jobs to his finance and oil friends, he hasn't cheated on his wife or been found to be in any lewd conduct. Our president now has a message to the children of this great nation "Work hard, stay in school". You really want to boycott that? Think about the message you are sending to your kids. You are basically telling them you don't support a free nation, a freely elected official, clean and decent president, democracy, hard work or education.

Well, the far right HAS always been this way. They want to create a non-secular Christian nation where you follow their rules their way or else! The far right want to eliminate any choice any of us have unless "the Bible says it is ok", which is also why the real far right want all the minorities out, women back home and pregnant, and only land owners making decisions. These people aren't new, they just have a new cause to get attention with.

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
