I love these buttons. I’m pretty sure Heidi designed them today after reading this, which I posted because I was reading this, which was a reminder to all of us of this, which had been originally posted here. A braying donkey in the middle would be cool. Maybe something like this?

From downstairs:
TT, there’s a solution for that (people asking to join after they find out how bad Obama really is). I honestly think anyone who joins and tell us that they voted for “that one” but admit that it was a mistake and they wish they hadn’t and now admit we were right about him will be welcomed in here. Unfortunately, that might be the key to some obots to “pretend” they regret voting for him, but I think that NOP, Jennifer, and company will “sniff” them out pretty quickly. The key, though, IMHO- is that they “admitting they were wrong about voting for him, and agreeing with us that we were right to be against him”….

Aw…KarenWI, don’t worry about it. It is optional.
KarenWI 11.30.08 at 10:31 pm
Are you hearing what some of the dems in congress are saying about HIllary as SOS? How Hillary and O “learned” how much alike they really think, and respect each other now, and that she will follow his lead very well (my paraphrase- I couldn’t type it just as they said it and I couldn’t remember the exact words, but this was the gist of it)….

Murphy - “TT– no worries, I think it was a good debate. (ya know I was kinda starting to worry that maybe you had been kidnapped by aliens or something since that comment was rawther, ahem, out of character. (i think it was a fine comment btw, and your underlying question is a real and excellent and necessary one))”

Well, Freddie… I have a potential client coming in tuesday morning- if I can get a sale there, I’ll donate. Can’t promise much more than that right now. Weather permitting, they are coming in here in the morning, and then I have to take off 100 mile round trip for a training class that won’t be done until sometime in the evening…. so that means I’m going to be out of touch all of tuesday… even my support group will have to do without me that day. Of course, weather permitting… tonight we’re under a “winter storm warning”, LOL. For the first time, this untalented person is actually making her own Christmas gifts this year because I can do it for almost nothing! ….or trying to do it anyway, LOL…
murphy 11.30.08 at 10:36 pm
TT, ha-ha. i thought it was funny when a couple of the republicans on here took that “take your political compass test” and came back and were like, whoa! i didnt know i was left of Ghandi.
(p.s. to lurkers: the test is in the left sidebar under “Puma PAC Action and Info Links” it’s pretty good)

Hmmm… who are the ZOMBIES Murphy? LOL… No I’m ok- I just got a little freaked out when it looked like everyone seemed to have forgotten the shenanigans the dem party went through during the primary and general election to get “O” elected, not counting the business with ACORN in the “bailout”… and I was wondering if I had just had a nightmare about it all, or if everyone else was just having “senior moments”.. nah, couldn’t be that- I’m older than most of you are in here - well, except for maybe lilbet…

ooh, there are a LOT of interesting and controversial topics in that article. Veddy interesting.
kat in your hat 11.30.08 at 11:09 pm
@ #26
Ok, so bottom line: Blacks are more likely to attend church than whites, and more black women are likely to attend church than black men.
Polls say black women voted to ban gay marriage at higher rate than black men. (maybe women are more likely to take polls, but besides the point.)
SO, even though blacks vote democrat in high percentages, they are more likely to be morally conservative–the church thing.
Generally blacks are against homosexuality (via church, etc), and so more black men stay in closet, which causes shame and reckless behavior, which is why more black women get HIV–because of the secrets. (and because they are not using protection, besides the point.)
AND: being unmarried and divorced is a sensitive subject for black women, so they would likely not be as in favor of voting for men to marry men.
Author: consider it a health issue, and the homophobia to be a cultural issue as well–and also ignorance and fear.
Education and openess will help *all*…from the black gay men, to black women’s health, to gay folks getting married.
(That’s what I got.)

To summarize:
Always blame the women.
kat in your hat 11.30.08 at 11:16 pm
@ #36 Nah, it’s not banal, you know, it’s an attempt to answer the issue, and even if it’s what some have thought, it helps to write it out. Just one guy’s opinion, but I understand, what else could be the answer, you know?

Ok, I finally took that political compass thingy. Too many of the questions were ones that I wanted a “none of the above” choice- I wasn’t “agree” or “disagree” I was neutral on several of them. However, picking and choosing “agree” or “disagree” that I guessed at closest to being, my score was: Economic L/R 1.75 and Social Libertarian/Authoritarian 2.21; I was in the same color box as Hitler and Thatcher, just slightly above dead center (just a bit to the right of it); between Ghandi and Friedman, but closer to Frieman than Ghandi; closer to the middle line than any of the names, just slightly above the middle line…. actually second line up in from the bottom in the blue box, and second line to the right of the center line. So…. what does that make me? LOL….

Oh, the blaming women part is blah, but I do think blacks might be more morally conservative as a race compared to whole white race–as far as homosexuality.

moral and conservative are mutually exclusive terms.

or freedom and conservative.
conservative and fiscal? yes.
conservative and energy? yes.
conservative and resources? yes.
but not conservative and moral.
morality is expansive — it grows.

One of the things that is great about the Pumasphere is that, like all good educational settings, it breaks down the lines between teachers and students. At work, where I am officially “the professor”, I always tell my “students” that the way I know a class has been good is because I feel myself learn from them, from exchanges with them.
Heidi Li 11.30.08 at 11:35 pm

Brian H. nice!
How embarrassing is this? when i read that comment, the ONLY country that popped into my mind was Uganda. Upon reflection I probably would have come up with Uruguay and Uzbekistan, but not Ukraine (i still think of that as part of the Soviet Union).
I dont think I ever would have thought of the USA. lordy.

Ummm… where on that chart is “conservative”??? I see only Authoritarian and Libertarian on either end of the vertical line, and communism and neo-liberalism on extreme ends of the horizontal line. Like I say…. my dot was just above the center of the libertarian/authoritarian verital line (slightly more toward authoritarian than libertarian) and just slightly more off the center towards the neo-liberalism side of the neo-liberalsim/communism horizontal line. Actually, I’m probabably more “centrist” according to this than most….?

What makes a dog “girlie”? Small size? Cute face? Intelligence? Affectionate nature?
Or does “yippieness” make a dog “girlie”?
Newsflash Mr. President Elect. Not all “girlie” dogs a “yippie” but some big rambunctious dogs are really dumB!!

I’m just 2 squares off from the dead-center middle of the whole thingy. I think that qualifies me for ” just about centrist”.. what d’ya think?

I have “girlie” dogs if you think of small and cute and “girlie”. Thing is they don’t yip and they are as smart as a whip. I’m babysitting a neighbor’s dog for the holiday and he’s a much larger mix. I refer to him as the neighborhood juvenile delinquent. Well yesterday, my little girl (5 months old) had enough of him and backed him down. She totally dominated him and she’s about one fourth his size.
So, what’s a “girlie” dog?

Nope, I agree with some things libertarian, but I see not all.

Ugh, maybe I will just continue to say: I am a centrist and registered democrat.
But, people don’t really get that…I’m pretty socially liberal, and not religious based, but strong on national security, and some other things.

Murphy: I took that poll but do not know how to read it…
My red dot was a block or so above where Nelso Mandela is, but is there anywhere an index for the numbers given? I do not understand this graph….
—————–
If I remember correctly, if you scroll down past the graph you get two numerical results.

Dances: I had a Cockerspaniel too ..a girl..named Sweetsie…
She ate an apple cinammon roll one day …(stole it off the table! I guess…we did not know she had done it…and the cinammon made her drink a lot of water and her stomach kept getting fatter and fatter by the second…True…then it stopped and went down and Sweetsie went her merry little way …..Weird..but not as weird as a cat I had named Gaylord Faqua who ate some fresh chives we were growing and went into a chive stuppor for three days…like in an opium den or something ..totally wacked out for three days…then he just woke up…yes..I have had some interesting little creatures…in my life!

Cute Murphy…. I’m off to the land of PUMA dreams… night y’all! Tomorrow is time to crack out the shovel for our first snowstorm of the winter! (one of the things I, personally, DETEST about Wisconsin- the snow, ice, and cold).

BrianH, so you are slightly left of center in authoritarian box?
BrianH 12.01.08 at 12:00 am
Here’s an interesting experiment: take the test “emulating” a) pure liberal, and b) pure conservative.
kat in your hat 12.01.08 at 12:01 am
KarenWI, sweet dreams, and you too Heidi Li.
BrianH 12.01.08 at 12:01 am
Kat;
No, read the first # as left-right, the second as up-down, just like in your high school analytic geometry!

How much you wanna bet he gets a lab?
Seriously…it says something that these girls have never had a dog. Now to make it a PR tactic is really cheap.

Dances: Yes, I have the two but I do not know what the hell they mean…what the numbers mean…

Oh yeah, I’ve had debates with some people about morality and religion. One person would NOT accept that people could be moral without religion in life.
It was…it was a long debate.
Anyway, that question was just on poli-poll.

“Ha, that’s why saying “Puma” is easier..” kiyh.
eggsactly.
night Heidi — thank you!
nop, yep. my name means oak tree — iron oak or black oak. although that doesnt sound very free does it, hmm. . .
well murphy means sea warrior.
there are lots of kinds of freedom though. the one we women are least habituated to is individual freedom. not all of course, but I’m one of the unhabituated ones.
non-deep thought: king of pop learns to dance posted.
take it upstairs!

BrianH: Ah..that is my problem…I hated geometry…
BrianH 12.01.08 at 12:05 am
NOP;
about the numbers:
Start at the center, and then move left-right according to the first, with + meaning right and - meaning left.
From there, move up-down according to the second number, with + meaning up and - meaning down.
kat in your hat 12.01.08 at 12:05 am
BrianH, oh, I just skimmed and checked out red box, which is left authoritarian.
NewOrleansPuma 12.01.08 at 12:09 am
BrianH: Oh thank you so much, Brian…I will go do that!

My numbers were left/right 1.00
and authoritarian/liberterian -2.41
If you look at the chart My circle would be 1 box to the right of were the center lines cross
and almost 3 boxes down from the line that cuts the box in half
which means I’m a slightly conservative centrist with a few libertarian leanings… which is just about right…

I , honestly , am trying to grow here and see the “big picture ‘ and I am also certain you know this Republican crap just KILLS me - but I am just deleting before I hit ’submit” . (southern doesn’t count because she confessed to me that she is really a fiscally conservative Democrat and not a Republican )
————————
That wouldn’t matter to me, but southern’s other confession trumps the republicanism error of her ways.

Sunday, Dec 7 @ 10:00 pm is a special on BET on the violence in South Chicago. I only say, because I think it might be insightful into a part of the mindset BO has emerged from. Flicking channels awhile ago I came up on BET and they had a special called Monster, about a violent gang member from south Central Los Angeles.
Watching them, it’s not to much of a stretch to understand black attitude and it’s influence on ACORN and it’s tactics. This is something that shouldn’t be denied or swept under the rug. It’s part of understanding the whole paradigm.

Y’know, I think almost all of BluddyOffal’s American experience is “paste-on”; his childhood was elsewhere, and his loyalties (if any) definitely so. That said, he seems to have fit into the hyper-corrupt Chicago scene seamlessly and competently.
But for all their manipulation skills, I think the Chicago fixers and polls are tools themselves, this time.

I’m not on this site much because I have gone back to my usual haunts. I’m picking on the Bamas, IMDB where Obama backers overwhelmed the few conservatives and Nobamas, and on the sites that think they have claimed a victory. We need to set up and move on but I still think that it doen’t hurt to throw back and allow the Bamas to re-evaluate their choice. See their error and challenge them.
But we should be charting our own course and not just fight back here and there. I’ll be back in force but I have a few grenades to launch first to those who thought that Obama would just hand stamp their program.

Just posted a comment on Puerto Rico newspaper blog. Some New Yorkers commenting about Hillary leaving NY State to take SOS. One got me ticked off: “Good riddance”? I posted she’s probably bored with the Senate and it’s NY’s loss forever. Now back to studying and anxiously monitoring FOX News Network for the SOS announcement. Any idea what time it will be?
