SCHADENFREUDE

Marilyn Musgrave et al - the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the nauseating rhetoric used by the right-wing fear mongers, in order to win.
Their fall from grace has been a long time coming. Her loss of this election, is
Schadenfreude at its best and feels so good. PUKE! :shock: thinkingblue.blogspot.com

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

" In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a
heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all
you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help
alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."

--- Brian Tracy ---

Have You Ever Heard Of Rene Magritte? No? Too Bad.

Have You Ever Heard Of Rene Magritte? No? Too Bad!

I’ve not heard of him. (A cloistered life I've led) That is until this morning, when Google used one of his surrealist portraits as their logo to celebrate his birthday. This artist came upon Earth with little fanfare and left in the same manner. He did impact his being through his art and I am glad I stumbled or should I say Googled across the mark he left behind.
thinkingblue.blogspot

Excerpted from his bio at: This Link

On August 15, 1967, Magritte died in Brussels. Unlike many of his Surrealist counterparts, Magritte lived quite humbly and inconspicuously. He did not draw much attention to himself, and he lived life relatively uneventfully. Despite his unassuming lifestyle, though, Magritte managed to leave an artistic legacy of transforming the ordinary into the fantastic. While some art historians attribute Magritte's art to his desire to oppose and combat the triviality of everyday life, others suggest that his work goes beyond escapism and serves to reveal some of the murkier and complex aspects of the human condition. Whatever the impetus was for his art, it is certain that Magritte's works are at once hauntingly beautiful and deeply provocative.

Examples:

Perspective: Madame Recamier by David

La condition humaine

L'aimable vérité

...Truth...

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again;
and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Rene Magritte Quotes
"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."

"Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.”

"We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world”

"If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.”

"The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.”

"The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb."

Be Very Wary of Conservatives On The Employee Free Choice Act

When Conservatives are down, all they have to say is "Card Check"- Protect the Employee Free Choice Act"

The rightwing is still trying to gut worthwhile projects that will allow people a bigger voice. They’ve been doing this for years, with the backing of the very people, who will be significantly hurt by such gutting. (Providing tax cuts to businesses and the rich, in the belief that it will trickle down to those on the bottom.) We are witnessing, the damage from this pipedream. Another is the Wolfowitz or later renamed Bush Doctrine (in so many words) a fantasy or belief that Democracy could be forced on other nations through pre-emptive war. Sadness abound from this one. Then the use of fear to gut our freedoms. Using newspeak to get the power they lust for, which was disastrous to our freedoms. Their plots have been exposed but we still need to remain diligent. The rightwing’s desire for status quo is still intact, and they will still pull the wool over our eyes to deny us the ability to protect what is best for us. thinkingblue http://seiu.org/employeefreechoice------

The economic crisis, particularly the Big 3 meltdown, is offering the right what they see as a new opportunity to break unions and destroy any advances workers might have expected under a progressive government. They may be temporarily in disarray politically, but the right never forgets their primary mission --- protecting the wealthy. And they are very good at advancing that agenda whether in the majority or the minority. Under the Shock Doctrine, they have a perfect opportunity to end the union movement in America and they'll certainly do their best to take advantage of the moment.

clipped from crooksandliars.com When Conservatives are down, all they have to say is "Card Check" As the country begins to turn away from Conservatism and Bush and depression runs deep in their veins, there does seem to be a phrase that lifts up their spirits. Everybody stand up and say "Card Check." It's also known as the Employee Free Choice Act. And its progress in Congress has every corporate Fat Cat in America leaping into frenzied action. One of them, Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus, is saying that any corporate type who isn't on board in their fight against Card Check should be shot. It's an obvious attack on unions and we need to be aware of this. Orrin Hatch loves to go on MSNBC, CNN or the National Review and proclaim that there will be no more secret ballots for workers so civilization in America will be destroyed: That's all you get out of them. I doubt most Conservatives even know what a "Card Check" is, but it really riles them up. H.R. 800, S. 1041 enable people to bargain better wages, benefits work conditions

IT HAD TO BE YOU, BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!

I wanted to do a youtube video for Obama's extraordinary win over the Republican Smear Machine but couldn't decide on which song, I should use to the many newspaper front pages of this victory... I used Ray Charles "IT HAD TO BE YOU" because in our country's dire situation there was only one route open for us and Barack Obama, It really had to be you! thinkingblue

SC Priest, just one more Kook from the Religious Right

More evidence that leaders of the RR (Religious Right) are stark raving mad. Anyone who willingly chooses one of these quacks as a spiritual guide through their life, needs to see a REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS guidance counselor... like maybe a psychiatrist! How sad it is to hand over a potentially viable thinking mind to one of these charlatans who will wrap the chains of irrationality and foolishness around the minds of the weak and padlock them so securely that no reality based info can get in or out. What's even more depressing is when an adult can easily hand over their young to be pummeled with shame, guilt and fear for the rest of their lives. Who does this priest think he is anyway to hold part of this religion's ritual, as hostage to get his own delusional way. People should run as far as they can from this kook! thinkingblue.blogspot.com

I'm with Bill Maher on this one...(Bill Maher on Religion - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IcUumWzue4 )

clipped from crooksandliars.com SC's Father Newman says whoever voted for Obama shouldn't receive Holy Communion I grew up Catholic and did go to church quite often some years ago and I never heard any politics mentioned from the pulpit. This is beyond disgraceful, but in today's times it happens every day among the extreme religious right. C&Ler Jay emailed me the info: Dear Friends in Christ, We the People have spoken, and the 44th President of the United States will be Barack Hussein Obama. This election ends a political process that started two years ago and which has revealed deep and bitter divisions within the United States and also within the Catholic Church in the United States. Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exits constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ’s Church and under the judgment of divine law. Persons in this condition should not receive Holy Communion read on

Another Notch For Rightwing Shock Jocks.

A story like this, puzzles me as to why it's legal to spread hate over our airwaves. The rightwing shock jocks, have been doing this for years without remorse or fear of reparation. We all enjoy freedom of speech and would never want to do anything to jeopardize this right, a corner stone of democracy. But when it's used to spread xenophobia, doesn't that strike you as being criminal? It's illegal to shout FIRE in a crowded room, shouldn’t it also be against the law to shout THIS GROUP, RACE, or ETHNICITY IS EVIL. Yet that is exactly what the Limbaughs, Lou Dobbs' and other hate spreaders do when they use media tools to distribute their loathsome rhetoric. It happened in Tenn. when a crazed man went looking for Liberals to KILL because a radio jock said liberals were ruining America. When will the time come, to say enough hate, it's time for healing? As long as rumor brutes can sputter their revulsion behind the safety of a microphone, it will never end and some innocent will suffer. thinkingblue.blogspot.com

clipped from http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/11/opinion/11tue3.html?th&emc=th A Death in Patchogue Marcello Lucero was killed late Saturday night He was beaten and stabbed. The friend who crouched beside him in a parking lot as he lay dying, soaked in blood, said Mr. Lucero, who was 37, had come to the United States 16 years ago from Ecuador. police arrested seven teenage boys, who they said had driven into the village from out of town looking for Latinos to beat up. A prosecutor at the arraignment on Monday quoted the young men as having said: “Let’s go find some Mexicans.” They have pleaded not guilty. A possible lynching in a New York suburb should be more than enough to force this country to acknowledge the bitter chill that has overcome Latinos in these days of rage against illegal immigration The atmosphere began to darken when Republican politicians decided a few years ago to exploit immigration as a wedge issue. They drafted harsh legislation to criminalize the undocumented. radio talk-show hosts latched on to the issue. Deadly violence immigrants deal with every day

Is Proposition 8 Behind the 8 Ball? It should be!

When I read the questions on my Fl. ballot, I thought, “Why is Prop 8 there in all it's intolerance?” This election should be about issues not the same old worn out divisions, propagandized by the religious right for far too long. The GUNS, GAYS AND GOD mantra Karl Rove and his like, peddled, until the United States did not resemble anything UNITED, more like The Divided States of Amer. How naive of me, believing their divisive plan didn’t work and was therefore, over. With Separation of church & state a survivor. But here it was a religious question written into a civil ballot. Then, I thought, PROP 8 WILL SURELY BE DEFEATED... Wrong again. What will it take to keep religion out of the lives of people who do not wish to buy into it? What will it take to keep the prying eyes of the law out of our sexual orientation? It probably will never end but when the blind faith of religion wishes to erase that separation, we who are in possession of common sense must always fight back. thinkingblue.blogspot.com

clipped from crooksandliars.com Mormons And Catholics Upset At Being The Target Of Prop 8 Protests Hypocrisy much? The Church of Jesus of Christ of Latter-day Saints is unhappy about the fact that the media spotlight is trained on its participation in making Prop 8 happen. In an official statement on the church's web site, bearing false witness and hypocrisy is the order of the day. No one on either side of the question should be vilified, harassed or subject to erroneous information. Bzzt. Wrong answer the Church gave millions of dollars to remove the civil rights of human beings Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church was also a target for supporting Proposition 8. Proposition 8 is not against any group in our society. Wait a minute. Prop 8 just removed an existing right from one specific group of people. There's no way to whitewash this. no spin that takes away the fact that religious institutions that backed Proposition 8 did so because of their faith interfering with laws of California

More Nonsense From the Religious Right

(Have You Had Enough?)

I received a comment on my thinkingblue blog "After Joe the Plumber, Joe the Hothead? " that was so absurd I had to re-blog it with my response. Below please read the silliness from Anonymous... yes this person didn't have the guts to use their blog screen name... it figures!

Anonymous said...

This blog shows the ignorance and the hate of left
winged liberals nut jobs......ones who would vote for a probably muslim
sympathizer who won't answer hard questions about anything because he would give
another stupid answer as he has in the past...all of his past associates hate
the USA, he wont give up college grades or thesis. The only reason he has any
clout is that all the immorals are wanting to "use" him in the future to promote
their corruption and perversions!!

So, to you anti god, anti moraled, anti country, anti anything true or right
....... byte me!! You are merely the red carpet that the real anti christ person
will ride in on....congratulations.. weirdos

IGNORANCE AND HATE? The right wing's hypocrisy is incredulous, but what else can be expected of pathetic minds who are clouded with the fairytales of "biblical proportions" (pun intended). Every retort, response, blather or nonsense that comes from your pie-hole or in this case your closed-mind translates into exactly what you accuse others of. Hatred, ignorance is YOUR dogma!!! We who think outside the intolerance box, you pathetic people have imprisoned yourselves in, have no dogma, we are free from the bonds of aversion. The only reply I can give to you is, "I feel so sorry for you." Life is too short and there really isn't enough time to spend on hatred but somehow, I suspect you would probably fall apart if you could not loath the many groups of people you don't agree with. In other words, you would suddenly feel so worthless. Hatred gives you power, a pseudo potency, to believe that you possess moral excellence. But sadly in reality what you have achieved with your Philosophical Castles In The Air, is Moral Bankruptcy. Too bad, Too sad. thinkingblue.blogspot.com
