How do we want and choose to spend our journey? I choose to make choices as best i can to make this a better place for those who follow- not just humans, but all beings. The elimination of guns and greed based systems that exploit the trust and faith of the many for the material benefit of the few while causing suffering and unecessary hardship for the many- the elimination of these is, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, our highest priority in life.Robert G.

With names including words like "Progress" or "Progressive," the liberal groups applied for the same tax status and were engaged in the same kinds of activities as the conservative groups. They included:<br /><br />• Bus for Progress, a New Jersey non-profit that uses a red, white and blue bus to "drive the progressive change." According to its website, its mission includes "support (for) progressive politicians with the courage to serve the people's interests and make tough choices." It got an IRS approval as a social welfare group in April 2011.<br /><br />• Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment says it fights against corporate welfare and for increasing the minimum wage. "It would be fair to say we're on the progressive end of the spectrum," said executive director Jeff Ordower. He said the group got tax-exempt status in September 2011 in just nine months after "a pretty simple, straightforward process."<br /><br />• Progress Florida, granted tax-exempt status in January 2011, is lobbying the Florida Legislature to expand Medicaid under a provision of the Affordable Care Act, one of President Obama's signature accomplishments. The group did not return phone calls. "We're busy fighting to build a more progressive Florida and cannot take your call right now," the group's voice mail said.<br /><br />Like the Tea Party groups, the liberal groups sought recognition as social welfare groups under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, based on activities like "citizen participation" or "voter education and registration."<br />JImhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795849285955713444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-9975261983985857282013-08-12T17:06:32.979-04:002013-08-12T17:06:32.979-04:00Calling this moron a clown is a compliment.

Ha. I guess we were all misled. I had no idea the Tea Party wasn't interested in politics or advocating for any political causes or parties or people. Amazing. All those rightwing Republican elected officials are jumping at their shadows because they're afraid their base is going to eliminate them in the primaries because the Tea Party, oh no wait, the Tea Paty doesn't do any political advocacy so they don't have to worry anymore about someone being endorsed by the Tea Party etc. blah blah blah...

Anyone who wants to see my, and others', attempts in past years to call out his lies with specifics and factual evidence etc. can go back through the archives of this blog from its beginnings. Many of us attempted to have an actual discussion based on facts, but as has been clearly demonstrated by him and the rest of the rightwing propaganda parrots, they have no interest in evidence, facts, actual history and/or scientific reality etc. they are only interested in wearing down their opposition and the ill informed with repetitive "big lies" a la the Nazis and Stalinists propaganda techniques. The twist they've put on it (a la the Tea Party Republicans especially in the Congress) is that their lies change depending on what Obama and/or Democratic Congressional leaders in Congress propose. Obama can support a policy created by what were then conservative Republicans (like "cap and trade" or what is now known as "Obamacare") and they can spin on a dime from supporting it to screaming about how it will destroy the country and is socialism or communism or even Nazism etc. exposing the lie that they have any inherent values or policies other than opposing anything that comes from Obama and/or the Democratic leaders in Congress, etc. Meaning they are only interested in one thing: power, and using that power to enrich the already bloated corporations whose bidding they do.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-2481508752885323772013-08-11T22:30:07.115-04:002013-08-11T22:30:07.115-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.JImhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795849285955713444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-78069983718985885472013-08-11T22:26:52.819-04:002013-08-11T22:26:52.819-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.JImhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795849285955713444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-31755774805516845722013-08-11T22:08:43.612-04:002013-08-11T22:08:43.612-04:00First of all, address her as "Caitlin" ...First of all, address her as "Caitlin" as she clearly and plainly signed it.
