Boy Scouts vote to admit gay youth!

Posted on by

I am not so sure I understand how admitting gay youth to The Boy Scouts of America ever got to be such an issue because the Scouts have been a part of the American Experience for more than 100 years and in all that time are you going to tell me that there has never been any gay members?

I know for darn sure that when I was a kid back in the 40s and 50s there were Boy Scouts who a lot of folks thought might be “a little different” but not much more than that was ever said about it and the Scouting did what it had always done – - built character and values into youth and helped prepare them for the rigors and demands of Life.

I also remember from my younger days that The Boy Scouts never looked like any kind of religious organization even though some of their “Codes” involved religious precepts such as “Honor, Dignity, Honesty, Integrity, Character and Moral Uprightness.”

I keep hearing stories of how some churches may drop their support of The Boy Scouts because of this new vote that was taken and my attitude about that is, “So what?  Let the local businesses take up the role of supporters again like in the old days.”  I personally think “Churches” have their noses stuck in too many places already where they have no business being – - and I think politics is one of them and I sure as Hell believe something like the Scouts needs to be secular in nature even if there are some religious overtones such as “Moral Teachings and Character Building.”

Which brings us to my next point:  ”In my lifetime I have met a lot of gay people who I feel are one helluva lot more “Moral” in their values and their value judgments than  a lot of the more supposedly “reee-ligious” church-goers!

I know a lot of churches – -  especially some of the  evangelical-style protestant churches – - have this big hang up about homosexuality and gay people and so on as being some kind of sin or immorality or whatever – - – but I have always wondered and still wonder – - if “Gay” is such a great sin why didn’t Jesus Christ ever say a blessed word about it in all the utterances He left to guide the Church?

I have heard one especially prominent Right Winger say something on the order of “It is alright to be gay but it is a sin to do some of the things that gay people are “Tempted”  to do.”  Yes, folks – - I believe the individual used the word, “Tempted.”

Well I suppose everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I would ask the following question in answer to that Rightie’s statement:  ”I suppose it is alright for a pear tree to be a pear tree as long as it doesn’t produce any pears, right?”  How about this one:  ”Pine trees are o.k. until they start producing those sticky little pine needles and then they are out of the Will of God, right?”  How about this one:  ”Cats are fine unless they try to bark and then if they start to bark like dogs, they are sinning, right?”

I got another question on the supposed role of church-ism in organizations such as The Boy Scouts:  ”What are you supposed to do about “Christian” teachings, values and ideology when you run into a scout who may not necessarily embrace “Judaeo-Christian” ideology?  Am I to understand there are no Boy Scouts who are from any other religious background or heritage than a strictly Protestant Christian one?  I do not know the answer to this but someone out there might and maybe they could tell me the answer to that one.

I don’t get all the noise being made around the Scouting issue – - it didn’t ever seem to me like it was such a big deal until just recently but I was never a Boy Scout.  I wanted to join when I was a kid but my over-protective Mom wouldn’t allow it because she was afraid I might go “Out there in them woods on a camping trip and get bit by a snake or something.”

Health Care And New Tires For The Limousine!

Posted on by

I looked at my doctor bill and just happened to comment out loud, “Wow! Time for a couple of new tires for the limousine, eh doc?”

The doctor – - of course – - was somewhat less than impressed with my observation because he went into a tirade about how much it had cost him to attend medical school and all the rest of the “Look at the investment I have made in my degree”  BS that one might expect in today’s highly charged, highly competitive markets.

The thing of it is, “What good is the best health care system in the world if only a few can afford to make use of it?  What about the rest of us – - those of us who work for a living and cannot afford to shell out $60,000 – - sometimes more; sometimes less – -  for some minor elective surgery – - or some other needed health care service – - on a whim?”

In my opinion, American doctors are very good at what they do but I cannot afford to go to many of them and  If it weren’t for The Veteran’s Administration, I would be up crap creek without a paddle when it comes time for me to get the  health care I need.

I sometimes get the impression that we Americans are living under a medical system where a lot of insurers are more than willing to take monthly premiums for expensive policies but when time comes for patients to collect it seems like that is the best time for the insurers to find a reason to stop paying – - pre-existing condition or  ”Met and exceeded the policy’s lifetime limit” or some other such crap that seems to come at the worst possible time for the sick.

It sometimes seems to me like the best prospects for insurance are those who don’t really need it.  I used to say the same thing about getting a personal loan from a bank.  I used to quip to friends, “The only way to get a loan these days is to prove to the lender that you don’t need the money.”

I think sometimes that the only limit to the prices that medical providers will charge is some arbitrary figure they have conjured up in their own imaginations and whatever they feel the market will bear.

Sometimes I get the impression that the old “Hippocratic Oath” has become more like the hypocritical oath – - or something along those lines – - I think money has far outstripped all considerations in the practice of many physicians these days and I even remember times – - not too awfully long ago – - when if you couldn’t provide proof of insurance, a lot of doctors wouldn’t give you the time of day.

I am not particularly comfortable with a competitive health care system that works exclusively and totally in the Free Market.

Health Care is really a critical area and I am one of those who believe that in a country like ours, adequate, proper and effective health care ought to be as much a right as anything else provided for in The Constitution.

It would seem to me that too much competition and free-market-ism in health care might lead to people being forced to “shop around” for various levels and degrees of health care.  For example: would it ever come down to a decision on the part of the health care consumer between a critical surgical procedure labeled as “Good, Better or Best” where the price tag is concerned?  Is that where we are going in America and is that really where we want to be?

I much prefer the idea of a workable national health care system where people can get pretty much the same quality and quantity of health care as anyone else – - rich, poor or in between – - and where that care provides enough incentives to practitioners to make it the best medical system in the world for everybody and not just for the privileged few.

I think that if the national health care system would be implemented and if the incentives for practitioners and providers were  strong enough to attract the best and the brightest to the field and to keep them there, we would have the ultimate solution to a gnawing problem and I think it is well within the abilities of a nation with the creative resources and the mind power that America has to bring this about.

America has faced stiffer challenges and overcome them in the past and She can meet the challenge of affordable health care too if enough people get on board with the idea to make it happen.  Nothing is impossible if enough minds get to work on solutions.

A World View And A Person Are One!

Posted on by

Some individual came onto the comments of “American Liberal Times” this afternoon and informed me straight out that I am more or less locked into my worldview and that I am not about to change.

I thought to myself, “If I had been smoking something illegal I could not have come up with a more astute observation than that one.

Hell yeah!  I am locked into my worldview because I have spent nearly three-quarters of a f**king century developing it – - and as they say, “Old dogs do not learn new tricks.”

Old dogs may “Meet” new tricks from time to time, but as the saying goes – - and of which I am totally convinced – - they do not “learn” new tricks – - just like the old saying goes.

It was almost obvious to me that the person making this comment must have been one of those stratospheric intellects from the time continuum I love to refer to as “Radical Right Side Nut-Wad-ism.”

I mean – - really, folks – - there is nothing concretely real about that phantom land of phantasy as far as I can see – - it just looks to me like a place where some people get stuck and from which they never progress or grow – - and where they live and die in a state of completely and totally obliviously intellectual bereft bliss.

But am I really “locked in” to my worldview?

Better believe I am!

I know who loves me and who don’t!  I know who wants to put the screws to me and who doesn’t.  I know who will help me when I am down and who don’t give a shit whether I live or die.  I have learned these lessons the hard way over a whole lot of years now and guess what?  The friggin’ Right Wing of The American Political Spectrum is not a place where I have ever been able to receive much help with anything.

My Liberal bosses all during my working life were the ones who understood the act of living enough that they would actually bend over backwards to make my job worth having – - paying me a living wage and giving me raises when I earned them – - giving me the courtesy of paying for my health care plan and allowing me sick days and vacation time – - doing personal favors when they were needed – - understanding and showing sympathy when I was sick and could not come in to work – - giving me time off to go to my Mom’s funeral – My damned few Right Wing Religious Bosses never seemed very interested in all that stuff.

The few stuffy-assed Right Wingers I ever worked for were more prone to work me like an indentured slave for as little as they could get away with paying me and often forgetting to give me a check at the end of the week so that I would have to crawl and ask.  ”Oh didn’t I pay you?  Let me check the books and see and I will get back to you.”  Bazz-Tards!”

I had this one really religious Rightie who owned a landscape maintenance and construction company in a state far in the Northern Regions and who gave me work from time to time at lower than minimum wage – - “You want the work or not?  If you don’t there are plenty just like you who will jump at the opportunity.”

Most of my eight to twelve-hour days slaving for that one were spent listening to his constant derision: “I don’t know why I even keep you on – - you aren’t worth two cents.”  (or) “If you had of lived right and done what Jesus wanted you to do, you could’ve had what I got.”

When this was not going on, this icon of the Christian Religion was barking orders like a drill sergeant, “Mow straight lines dammit!  This is my house so mow straight lines!”  (or) “I don’t pay you to lean on that damned shovel – - get to digging!” (or) “You can’t operate a tree digger?  What the Hell good are you?  Why do I even pay you?”

What he had that he thought I might want if I lived the way Jesus had wanted me to live was as many heart bypass operations as one can legally get  and I just didn’t have the guts to retort to him and tell him that I really didn’t want to have what he had.  His millions of dollars didn’t do a damned thing to help him when his time came to go and quite frankly – - when his time did come to go it didn’t appear to me like anybody around him was interested in anything other than what they stood to gain from his last will and testament.

Nope!  I did not want what he had!

I am a left of center moderate democrat and have been one ever since I decided that my Dad’s political icons – - Republicans – - used him up and spit him out and let him die a pauper and didn’t even send a representative to his funeral.  I thought to myself at the time, “all right sons of ( expletives), I am a better human being than that and I will never ever bow and scrape like some piece of scum at the foot of bigger scum.”  So I became a Democrat and I have never been sorry about it.

Some of the Right-Wad scumbags call me names like “Idiot, Moron, Stupid,Filthy Hippie, Commie, Comrade” and worse – - but that is alright with me because even though they have names for me, I have something I think is a lot better – - – I have affinity with the “Real” world where people are people and where people care about others more than they care about themselves or about getting rich at the expense of those who have less than they have – - and all the other rotten things I have watched a lot of Right Wingers do over the years.

So yes – - my worldview is locked in and changes not!  I am proud of that!

The (expletive deleted)  told me this too: “You never entertain any opinions except the ones that define your world view.”

He was wrong in one respect and right in another when he uttered that little stroke of genius:  I “entertain” all shades and flavors of opinions because I find a lot of them to be so goddamned dumb as to be delightfully hilarious and entertaining – - but I do not pay many of that kind much attention because I know the depths of the crap pile from which they arise and I do not wish to be sucked into that pit and perish in the misty realms of fecal-smelling slime that a lot of them live in and seem to like it.

I am guilty!  I have a set of opinionated ideas and I tend to stick with them and you know what?  If the truth were known so does everybody else.  This idiot was not telling me anything I did not know but at the same time I also know that most other people do exactly the same things this one was accusing me of – - they have their opinions and they stick with them.  What is so damned hard to understand about that and since it is Human Nature, what is wrong with it?

All writers spin their writings to reflect their inner beliefs.  I do it.  I admit it. I am proud of it and I do not try to hide it or sugar coat it.  So my question to the trolls from the intransigent Right who come at me with such crap is, “So what?  What the Hell does it matter?  It’s my blog and I say right in the “About This Blog Page” that what I write is all opinion and that I rarely portray anything I write as Gospel.

Gee-zuss, Righties!  How damned obtuse can some of you become?

Besides – - if you get hot and bothered by what you read here you can always go somewhere else – - there are plenty of lying Radical Right Blogs where some of you would probably feel right at home.

So – - am I an asshole?

You better believe I am especially when it comes to dealing with some of the noxious anal-wiping material generated from the dark realm of out-of-control Radical Right Wing Religious Extremism – - and as long as there is a First Amendment to The Constitution of These United States, I will continue to be just the same as I am now – - and I may get a lot worse as time goes on.

SEEMINGLY ENDLESS INVESTIGATIONS GO ON AND ON AND ON!

John R. Liming

My Opinion

First I heard hours and hours of argument and back and forth about three “Conspiracies” that are supposed to have something to do with some kind of alleged wrong-doing at the White House – - or somewhere else in the administration – - – things that I have personally considered to be little more than Right Wing witch hunts looking for something to make the president look bad with.

Well – - if what I have been hearing and reading is true, a lot of that “conspiracy” crap is already falling apart and in at least one instance it was revealed by what I consider to be a reputable source that one report fed to a major news outlet about these scandals was based on doctored e-mails that some Ree-thugs were supposed to have doctored.  Way to go Reeee-pugs! Got’cha on that one, didn’t they?

O.K., I think I can understand why some of the GOP is so intent on seemingly endless investigations into all kinds of negative allegations about the government right now – - – I think they are doing it to take attention off some of the stuff that was done from 2000 to 2008 – - – stuff that was never challenged publicly or which never saw very much investigation if they saw any at all – - stuff surrounding Weapons of Mass Destruction and stuff about two questionable wars – - and stuff concerning vote counting in Florida – - and stuff about outing a CIA agent  - – - and at least 20 things that could have been labeled as conspiracies during that tumultuous period of American History.

If some are not inclined to look at things as I have just described them then there might be another possibility for why all the investigations are going on right now:  Didn’t some mighty powerful GOP-ers stand up at the beginning of the President’s first term and more or less indicate they were going to do everything in their power to make sure he never got elected for a second term?  Does anybody except me remember any of that boast?

Well – - it didn’t work out for “Them” did it?  He got the second term anyway!

So what would be the next logical step in the process of making sure nothing the President wants to get done gets done?  First would be total obstructionism – - and I think we have already seen how that works, haven’t we?

I think the second thing would be to try to find things – - anything at all – - that might indicate there is something “flawed” about either the way the President does business or how some of the agencies under his supervision do their jobs – - does this make sense?

I’ll tell you what I think!

I think the President made one Helluva mistake when he first took office and did nothing to open investigations into some of the doings of the administration that preceded him.

I think the present administration is making one helluva big mistake by not returning fire and starting as many investigations into whatever allegations they can find that might be revealing about their current adversaries on The Hill.  I think we need to be seeing a little bit of “What is good for the goose is good for the gander” going on in Washington – - but I am not seeing it!

Here is something I thought was interesting about one individual’s taking of the Fifth Amendment in regard to testimony in one of these GOP-inspired investigation things – - the one that concerns itself with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) – -

Views On Benghazi Reports, Scandals, Religion And More!

Posted on by

John R. Liming

My Opinion

THE ABC NEWS BENGHAZI “EXCLUSIVE”

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas for The White House since it was reportedly discovered an ABC News Exclusive Report purportedly showing how the White House and State Department people allegedly edited some e-mails concerning the Benghazi Tragedy – - – a major television media report that originally appeared to give credence to claims of conspiracy on the part of the White House and State Departments – - – something that was looking for a while like a real “plum” for the Right Wing Radicals – - – turned out to be more or less allegedly some kind of “adjusted” information that had been provided to the poor unknowing innocent major News Media Outlet by some ostensibly “Imaginative” or “Creative” – - – Reeeeee-pugs!

So – - what else is new?

As I was reading through a few of the Far-To-The-Right “Obama Hating” blogs that I love to drop in on from time to time – - – I was getting visions of how some of the masters of pejorative ridiculousness  who think of themselves as serious blog journalists but who are – - in my opinion – - nothing more than mere “wonk” bloggers – - the same as me but with a more  asinine twist – - must have been decorating the tips of their wispy little moustaches with the little bowl of liquefied horse manure they keep around because they like the smell of (Insert synonym for fecal matter here ) so much – - while trying to make their deadened brains work so as to enhance this damnable slams they seem to love to indulge in against their favorite political target (Foe) – - The sitting African-American President of The United States.

It occurred to me that the allegedly erroneous news report from ABC must have played directly into their grubby little knob-knurled fists and they must have danced a real jig over it!

Others now seem to have noticed and have started to air their concerns and have been requesting the great old much-trusted American news resource to – - – correct – - – the reports – - – and I guess – - according to what I have been reading – - some of those folks are still waiting.  Read about that mess HERE!

THE SO-CALLED “PERFECT SCANDAL STORM”

Some intransigent morons who wear the decaying mantle of contemporary crap-laden American Far Right Radical Extreme so-called “Conservatism” – - a true misnomer in my opinion – - seem to be loving the fact that “Obummer” looks like he might be entangled in a whole bunch of nasty little scandals – - but what is not being said too much in too many circles is that a lot of the “scandal” bullshit is stuff that has been drummed up or fabricated by – - you guessed it – -  Righties with what I think is a pressing and increasingly desperate  need to enhance their libidinous predispositions  - – and what better drawer warmers than some concocted pieces of garbage?

That is the kind of stuff I have found appeals to those who choose to dwell in the virtuality of intellectual landfills – - It is my opinion that  some great number of them might be feces mongers because I believe that is a substance most nearly resembling that which I believe composes much of their gray matter and many of them seem to me to be most comfortable in the presence of such substances.

But then I am somewhat eccentric so my analyses may be subject to some further review as they pass from hand to hand.  I admit it!  I am an opinionated son of a bitch!

Anyways Mommies and Daddies and Kiddies of all ages – - it looks like a lot of the “scandals” are now unraveling and making some of the Radical Righties look like what I have always thought they look like – - total fools and assholes!   Read More and rejoice with me ( HERE )!

HEALTH CARE COSTS OUT OF SIGHT FOR AVERAGE AMERICANS!

did anyone ever think that the cost of going to the doctor or to the hospital might get to the point where it is more than the cost to put food on the table for a whole damned year?

Well it seems that some people have started to take a close look at this American tragedy – - and of course – - I have been saying all along that something has to be done about it – - and my interest has been on The President’s “Affordable Health Care Act” – - also known as “Obamacare” as probably the best contemporary idea that might address the dilemma.

You might want to read the report about the rising costs of medical care in The United States  (HERE )  and you might want to take a fresh look at the Obamacare thing and what it can do for people ( HERE )!

WILL THE RIGHT WING DESTROY ITSELF EVENTUALLY?

I don’t know whether the Right Wing per se will ever implode completely although there is some indication that the thing that has become known to many as “The GOP” might be moving a little bit in that direction – - at least I get the idea that is the thought – - the vision – - the impression – - the possibility being entertained by at least a few political observers these days.

There are some people who apparently are asking themselves the question, “Can a political entity such as GOP sink any lower into the muck and mire than it already has with all the obstructionism, the consistent losses at the polls, the endless filibustering, the relentless refusal to consider bills proposed by the President and all the colorful little things that have been going on around them in the past few years?” Of course if that is the way some folks look at the GOP then I suppose they are entitled to their opinion – -  I just happen to share it. Others may not share it. Others might simply be – - either benefactors of it or victims of it – - depending on circumstances.

I personally hope the GOP can find itself and return to the days when it can work across aisles and do the seemingly impossible tasks of sitting down with Dems and hammering out helpful legislations that propelled this great nation forward like was the case many years ago – - back in the mist-shrouded times when Old Order Moderates dominated the GOP landscape and things could actually get done in Washington – - things where not everyone always got everything they wanted but things that actually were of benefit to the majority of The American People.

You might want to dip into this little goodie a little more ( HERE )!

ONE OF MY MAIN BITCHES WITH EVANGELICAL-STYLE RELIGION!

I have always thought that most of the Ree-Pug-Lickins and Right Wingers I have ever known were more or less either involved directly with some kind of what I consider to be an Hysteric” Evangelical-Style religion or at least supported this sort of tom-foolery to one degree or another – - to enough of a degree to help formulate their political outlooks and to drive them to what I think of as the insanity of modern American Contemporary Far Right Wing Radical Extremism in the name of what I once  thought – - from the time that I was a small child – - was  a high and noble calling – -”Conservatism.”

When I read stuff like I just got through reading over on another website  I have a deeper and clearer understanding of my own disenchantment with these kinds of spiritualized shenanigans and I come out of the experience less religious and more truly “Christian” than ever.  Read More ( HERE )!

Enough for now, I reckon!

Respectfully yours,

No Fracking Way!

Fracking Was Supposed To Be Our Ticket Away From Dependence On Foreign Commodities, Right?

John R. Liming

My Opinion

When “they” came up with the arguments in favor of state lotteries, I heard a lot of propaganda about how good state lotteries and their  proceeds were going to be for our  - – - schools!  Remember that old line of bull droppings?

How long did it take for the lottery proceeds to get diverted to the states’ general funds leaving just a trickle for the – - schools?

I guess the voters who swallowed that one hook, line and sinker got the old shaft-er-oo – - as usual!

Recently I was hearing all the arguments about how good “Fracking” the shale rocks under people’s back yards and in the public parks – - and literally everywhere – - to get at the oil and gas trapped – - “down there a few thousand feet” – - was going to be for the Economy and how it would cause the price of natural gas and gasoline and oil products to go through the  basement – - thus fulfilling the best wet dreams of some of the most avid car, truck, bus, train and plane owners on the planet.

Big Oil and Big Gas really pushed the be-jeebies out of that enticing little tid bit of propaganda didn’t they?

Well – - I don’t really think anyone has proven that some of those “earthquakes” in fracking areas are really related to firing water at nearly hypersonic speeds into underlying rock structures and the argument is still being made that the drinking water will not be affected because the fracking takes place at such enormous depths – - supposedly below the level of all consumable water – - so there should be no problem there, right?

I mean injecting tons of God Only Knows what kind of chemicals into the soil – - along with the fracking water – - isn’t going to have any kind of negative effect on anything at all – - now or ever, right?

Well let us assume for the moment that this form of extracting the oil and gas pose no immediate hazard to man, animal or the planet – - as I think most or all of the allied industries engaged in this activity would like for us to believe.

Then – - in my book, we come to the concept that fracking the living Hell out of every available inch of America is going to present some prime opportunities for car owners to get cheap gas and oil and for the unemployed to get great-paying jobs, right?

That will be at least nominally true – - in my opinion – - until someone gets the bright idea that a lot more money can be made be exporting the fracked gas and oil to foreign markets where gas that costs as little as $3.00 a measurable unit here can go for as much as $10 – - over there.

Is there anyone within the range of the sound of my keyboard who actually believes that Big Money will be more concerned with convenience to Americans at home than with a few billion dollars more in profits that can be gained by exporting the products?

If I am not totally mistaken there ought to be a lot of Rightie greed mongers and moguls and financiers and bankers and lenders and distributors and producers – - you name it – - who are looking at the profit potentials of jamming it to the American Consumer in favor of what can be gained – - over there – - –  and looking it over with an – - eagle eye glued to a billion-power microscope of possibility – - right?

Well, be all that as it may – - whether it be conjecture or potential – - and let us proceed to an underlying point that I think should be made on behalf of all the Right Wingers who have sacrificed so much to help the middle class and the working class and the poor out here in The Good Old U. S. of A:  ”Snark” with a capital “S!”

How about we pay attention to the “Small Gubmint” freaks and actually reduce the size of The Fed down to the nearest nothing that we can manage and still get our drawers washed in a nearby body of non-frackable water – - if there be such a creature.

Let’s reduce The Fed down to an infinitesimal fraction of its present size – - down to the point where it becomes  libidinous stimulation  for some of the Radical Right-Wads in Extreme Nut Land – - – and after that perhaps Big Utilities and Frackers of all kinds – - from every corner of the globe – - can descend on this Promised Land of Instant and Profitable Gratification for the haves who have it all already – - –  and who cannot rest until they have it all – - – and no one else has anything – -  The Frackers can come freely and without restraint or regulation and frack the f*** out of every frackable inch of the country – - – Let them go ahead and poison the water, destroy the natural beauty – - turn people’s back yards into cess pools of stinking filthy ooze – - who cares about the health of property owners?

There’s money to be made here folks – - lots of money – - money to pay wages for cheap labor imported into the frack areas from other states and other countries perhaps – - I will guess that few if any locals will ever be hired at this kind of project – - but I could be very wrong about that – - –  I am not always right about everything – - besides this is not a “fact” blog – - this is an “Opinion” blog – - remember?

I hope the Rightie Troll Butts will remember that – - but I doubt it – - I don’t think many of them  can remember much of anything except how to twist things and bitch and moan about stuff so I am sure that some of them will find something in this post to jump me about – - so up theirs is all I can say!

Let’s do all this “Gubmint Reducing” in the name of Free Enterprise and The Global Markets and let us see how much it reduces our dependence on foreign oil and gas.

Let’s see how much all this “Free Enterprise” is going to benefit the American Consumer at the gas pumps or at the gas meter behind the house that might soon be afloat in a sea of stinking frack mire.

These are what I consider to be some of the best Right Wing ideas ever – - and I simply cannot wait to see how they pan out for Mr. and Mrs. Average – - not rich – - 47% American!

Hey! Hey!  Whadda ya say?
