Freedom is Important because People are Important



Hello,

For years, I have had my radio alarm clock set to a random AM station, volume at maximum, to wake me up in the morning. It goes off, some loud commercial or commentator blaring, and I shut it off usually within 5 seconds. This morning I was especially tired for whatever reason, and it took me a long time to get up the energy needed to shut the thing off. I learned some things about the station during this time.

The station was 550 KFYI. The show this morning had two men and one woman discussing topical items of interest. (Items of interest to them, at any rate.)

Amongst the topics discussed:

Apparently, 91% of Republicans think that Obama has followed through on his campaign promise for change, but feel he has changed the country for the worse.

Barney Frank apparently got married recently, to a blue-collar man (the chuckles during this segment implied that either the marriage itself was funny or the job of his spouse was funny) and they mused about which one was the husband and which one was the wife.

As I shut off the radio, they were discussing recent fund raising efforts by political candidates, and promised to show (when they returned from the break) that Obama was not any kind of underdog in the fund-raising challenge.

I feel like this couldn't have been more than 5 minutes of the show. I found myself vaguely unsettled by the sample and its negative tone, not merely towards Obama (who I dislike for my own reasons) but also towards gay people and perhaps mysteriously the idea of a gay man marrying a blue-collar worker? (I had believed Joe the Plumber was an icon for the right, but they seemed to think this detail was humorously notable. I almost have to believe I misread the commentary because such a detail is the sort of thing I'd expect conservatives to endorse after the Joe the Plumber dialogues in the last election. Perhaps I needed more than five minutes of the show to absorb proper context for the humor.)

Five minutes. I wonder if this continues all day long. I'd imagine that music might be played at some point, but it's an AM station so I'm not certain. I also know that there must be AM stations who say bad things about republicans all day. Perhaps I should find one and listen to it tomorrow so that I don't feel so negatively towards the GOP. Give it a fair and balanced listen. Any suggestions?

--Anthony

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Well, I used to find talk radio infuriating, whichever side it was on, so I gave up listening. I could usually think of a dozen or so things I'd want to say myself, and my brain would ramble on about it, or about how I'd correct someone who said something stupid or wrong. Just wasn't worth it.

If it were me, I'd switch to a music station or something. No sense starting one's day off first thing with frustration! And talk radio--Limbaugh being a perfect example--exists to be confrontational and/or partisan, that's their "demographic".

Yeah, I heard about Barney Frank's wedding; I knew what would result but luckily I've listened to little enough TV since then to hear what I'm sure is going around. I'm really happy for him; he's given more than his share for the good of the country (or tried to), and we all know he couldn't have taken this step while he was still in office. I always liked him; he wasn't afraid to tell it like it was and there are few of those around. I'll miss him; maybe he'll be a commentator somewhere--heaven knows he understands how things work and if he was, he wouldn't have to be even as "diplomatic" as he's been while in office!

You know there's still tons of homophobia still in this country; that's not going to change any time soon. What you heard pisses me off, but doesn't surprise me...on either side of the spectrum. As to what the Republicans believe, that doesn't particularly surprise me either. People wouldn't BE Republicans if they didn't think that way, and/or ingest the pablum and regurgitate it. I'm sad for them, because if Romney does get in office, they'll find out their mistake just as the states have found out the real agenda of the Republicans they voted in hoping they'd create jobs. Gonna be a long time before things turn around, even if Obama gets a second term. While I'll always be grateful I was a teenager in the '60s, I kinda wish I hadn't lived long enough to see what's happening now...and will happen in the future, I fear. Such is life.

I was going to say "Dude, Barney takes it up the ass", but I don't know......

I'd like to think that anyone in a position of power, no matter their sexual inclinations, would be "tops".

But... no..... Barney is the "bottom".... the "wife"....

Thanks Barney, for separating the truly f-ing gay politician wheat from the gay chaff.

Now step aside, cause you're useless in 2012.... just far enough to be constantly penetrated by a real man who will actually make some sense and stand up for our constitution.

Barney's entire political existence was a sham. Everything in his previously closeted life was a sham.... You are the political cartoon of a faggot wrist waving twink who wears spandex and does anything to be pounded in the ass repeatedly by hundreds of guys.

Hopefully his FULLY gay lieges are aware of any pitfalls that pathetic half-closeted-fag to the public did in his lifetime.



As Christopher Walken said, "It's not about Gay, it's About Power!".

For BF... it's all about how much gay he can get for his "power".

Good luck with Craig'slist Barney....

Without any political clout, trolling the cesspool of society online is the best you can do short of being arrested one night with George Micaels at a forrest bathroom.

I think this one post by Jack says more about him and what he thinks about life and relationships than anything else I've ever seen from him.

It's rather telling how much he's so interested in being on top of other men here and the violence he fantasizes about. It would be one thing if he focused on the politician, as politicians deserve every drop of hate in our blood, but he focused on the sexuality.

Is there something you'd like to confess Jack?

Bingo.

Although in fairness, Jack seems to really, really, REALLY get off on controlling young girls, too. As he says, once they become "women" they lose his interest.

Blah, blah....

Whatever...

Hayden could spell out a wakeup call in her song more than this thread ever could....




Feel free to speculate all you want though. Until I touch a dick or pussy that's not mine, you'll be left scratching your heads until they implode.

I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this jigsaw thus far though...

Thanks for playing




EDITED TO ADD:.......

If even 1/5th of the male and female posters to the RWED who have never seen this video before were real with me and admitted that they THOUROUGLY enjoyed it, I might not be so jaded about everything.

In the mean time, there is a dozen or so people I know from other channels who, let's just say, have a lot of other fun....

I know it won't last long....

but, for now, it's good to be king....




Genetic experimentation, no matter what side of the coin is nothing....

How do you think they (thankfully) have an end game closer to Brave New World than 1984?




Fight it it you want......


There is no resistance....

Frem is falling apart.....

Niki is as much a lone voice on the other side as I was before....

Sex is bliss, and bliss is sex



You want outside of it??

Better have the resources of Captain Mal


Even he didn't though....

and he's doing a "drama" that my 80 year old grandmother loves....

you're all too boring for me....

Indeed.

I don't know that your point about young girls does much to help him. Seems its the woman part he's avoiding one way or the other.

You think sex is the only thing that makes a person interesting? There's like six billion people on the world, trust me there's pretty much no shortage of it. The only thing that distinguishes YOU in the sexual realm, is that you exhausted all your chances except for cybering and phone sex hotlines and now you drink yourself into a rather boring coma every night.

But oh look, I guess we hit a nerve, after that laughable youtube video showing just how "straight" he is, now he's going to pick his trousers off the floor and go home to his empty house and talk to other faceless internet dwellers! That'll show us!

Back that train up Kwick....

I know you don't like me, but don't start painting me as something that I'm not. I've never said anything to make you come up with that comment.

With the exception of extraordinarily beautiful women with longevity, I lose interest right around the time a woman becomes 30 years old. At 30, they have legally been women for 12 years at that time.

I'm willing to play games and I can take a ribbing if you want to go and throw accusations of my sexuality out there because I'm secure with what my sexuality is, but I abhor behavior by anybody that endangers those too young to protect themselves in any form.

Sure, I'd love to hook up with an 18 year old (which you may consider a "girl"), but at the same time, that would get old pretty quick. I can't imagine that I'd have a single thing in common with her outside of the bedroom and I'd need to get a 2nd and 3rd job to keep from going into debt.



I don't believe I've ever once asked somebody to rescind anything they've ever said about me here, so this is a first. I would appreciate it if you were to take back that statement.

Thanks

You pretty much nailed it, Byte.

I see he says we're too boring and he's leaving. I would never wish for anyone to leave, as all voices here have value, but when it comes to value, in my opinion Sux IS on the "bottom" of the list. The only thing I used to find boring here WAS Sux's ramblings about his sexual opinions, attitudes, actions and that his posts were rarely anything but personal rants which mostly belonged in Talk Story. Dunno if that's changed, as I almost never read them anymore.

You know absolutely nothing about me Niki, and I'm glad that you don't.....

Long before I called you the C word, you were calling me "Sux"


It's okay for you, becaue you have tits....

Thank you Byte...

In this brave new world, even in the cesspool that is the "RWED", I am automatically inferior because of my genetic makeup, and of the two of us, I'm the ONLY one who has to watch what he says.....



Take the money and run Niki.... You deserve it...

Just know that in the end, you've made ZERO DIFFERENCE

LOL. Ramble on and on and on about how you've revealed so much about yourself, how you've shown us your inner darkness and yadda, yadda.... then whine that someone knows nothing about you when they actually incorporate such info, along with observations of your general behavior and views.

Cute.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


The quote involved me, Story, so I went back and read his last post. Oh, my, he IS on a rant, isn't he? I wonder how many times his posts involve snarks at me, but then it's unimportant; the ones people quote are sufficient to show his state of mine.

What does having tits have to do with anything? Has he gotten even worse about men v. women? The "I am automatically inferior because of my genetic makeup" makes just as little sense--has someone gone after him because he's male? Or is it just, again, the way he thinks?

And watch his words?? From what I've seen that others have quoted, that's the last thing he feels he needs to do...? There seems to be some kind of obsession or something going on, given the "of the two of us"...I seem to remember having seen something before about people ragging on him while letting me get away with anything...SOMETHING sure seems to be going on here. Does he think we're in competition, or are compared with one another? Or is it just some kind of self-pity? Weird...as is the statement I'll make no difference. Did I ever claim to be trying to? Very confusing, all of it...

As to knowing him, or anyone else here, I agree with Story. Few of us here have exposed our private lives a much as Six, Frem and I, for our own reasons. I imagine at this point that people here know me pretty well, some of my background and what I'm involved in currently. But I don't think even Frem or I have rambled on as much about what we do every day, our financial situations or our sexual experiences. To say anyone knows "nothing" about him is a pretty strange statement. I don't particularly WANT to know more of him than what he posts here, and my observations come from that and nothing else.

Byte, I also liked
Quote:

which pretty much nailed what I knew of him before I stopped ignoring him--except that I didn't know he drank so much or was on sex hotlines, that must have come after I started ignoring his post. How sad.

ETA: Most unfortunate of all is that, looking back over this thread, the last statement on the topic at hand was made by me, and after that it seems to have degenerated into being all about Six. Personally, I'd rather return to the original subject, it's of much more interest.

That said, I at least WILL return to the subject at hand. I sure wouldn't urge you to listen to left-wing talk radio any more than the other; I think you'd find both rather unpleasant, and again, that's no way to start one's day.

I think you've got to be kidding about the blue-collar thing; it's pretty obvious from their words and actions that the right holds a negative view of blue-collar workers, Joe the Plumber was just a convenient stooge, meant to pretend they DO back workers, not to be taken seriously. I don't know whether the snickering had anything to do with Frank's mate being blue collar or not; I think they're quite capable of snickering at ANYONE he married, for one reason or another...or none! I'd have to have heard it myself to determine whether it had anything to do with his partner being blue collar, so I'll just accept your judgment that it was. But there's no dichotomy, the right has made sufficient remarks to indicate their distaste and lack of respect for working people.

All of that being said by Niki, whether deserved or undeserved in my mind put to the side...

I'm still looking for an apology from Kwick.

If Frem ever required some extra muscle to.... remove... a negative influence on children, no matter how much he shuns me now otherwise, I hope he'd call on me to help.


I get beat up in here a lot for my opinions, but I say whatever to most of it.

Kwick's post about me in this thread painted me to be something that I abhor.

The fact that he's all but called me a fag before and I haven't asked for an apology should speak volumes for my cause here.

He was out of line.

I want an apology.
