RaisedRight2 posted on Health & Diet  AARP has graciously welcomed me to my 50's by inviting me to join them and their radical agenda. Not interested. Any ldotter preferences on alternative organizations? July 31 at 10:38 EST .    3 people like this.    Montanabound  I was in the lobby of a Super 8 in Montana. I overheard the desk clerk ask a couple if they belonged to AARP. Answer: "Naw, we don't tend to join Communist organizations." LOL! We joined AMAC and got the same 20% discount.

RaisedRight2 posted on Main Page The Lobby  Roberts sold us all out. Stunned. Trying to regroup, and focus on working hard to get Obama out of office. June 28 at 11:14 EST .    Pickle1  You are so right. It's time for the state to secede.

He has just shot up into a tie for first in the"most hated" in America. But at least Obama believes this $#!!.

After 41 years of dealing with the VA medical care, I know all about withholding care, thankfully, up to this point we have private insurance through employers, that will end. Do your wills, Death Panels will be the norm for anyone old enough to know what a Republic the USofA was June 28 at 11:23 EST .  1 person like this.    BubbaEuler  I'm a Texas Native and I was thinking the very same thing at 9:00 AM CST!

I think he wanted to assure his place in the liberal History books for protecting the first black presidents back. Yep he did that indeed. Even though it destroys our country to do so. You've retained your *invite* to the DC insiders parties and dinners, Johnny-boyo. Thanks a whole helluva lot.

This must lead to a resurgence of a far stronger Tea Party than ever imagined. I so miss Breitbart, but we will prevail in any case! June 28 at 12:58 EST .  1 person like this.

RaisedRight2 posted on Main Page The Lobby  Herman Cain will be on Hannity tonight. Good opportunity to get to know the man. May 23 at 11:45 EST .    Surfhut  Hannity gets on my nerves, but I'll watch tonight. Hope Hannity actually lets the man answer questions without interrupting him ad nauseum. May 23 at 12:08 EST .  1 person like this.    TXknitter  Yes, I am glad Herman Cain will be on Hannity. Sean, just let him talk please! Hannity is a good guy but can barely watch or listen to him anymore. He is so insecure. May 23 at 14:09 EST .  1 person like this.    TXknitter  Wow! God was really with your friends. Anything we can do? May 23 at 14:10 EST .  1 person like this.    Shooter1002  I hope Hannity asks tough questions in a fair manner. They may as well come from Hannity than from Matthews et al with their condescension and bias. Besides, I want to see how he handles himself. I don't care what his favorite color is or what school his kids go to. If he don't know who the PM of Kyrgystan is, so what? That's what a Sec. of State is for! How you gonna get us out of Afghanistan honorably. Where and how much spending are you going to cut. Taxes? Gov't size? Illegals? Abortion? Schools? Guns? If he's credible and conforms to my beliefs then I'll seriously consider him. I don't care if he's black. Actually, because/if he's a black conservative, all the more reason to consider him. He's got a steeper hill to climb and nobody is going to do him any favors. IOW, he's got to earn it! Word to Hannity, ask, then shut up and let the guy answer.

He might have been referring to the Jay Goodman article, who said that Cain didn't know the definition of "right of return.. What Cain said was that it was only Israel's call to implement "right of return". Cain was very concise about not undermining Israel. Outstanding.

By the way, I did too! May 23 at 20:06 EST .  1 person like this.    RoseOfTexas  Cain put out a clarifying facebook post on the right of return. That little slip up bothered me less than his 4-(or however many) point plan for the budget, which he then said would only work if we had already implemented it sometime in the past. Needs some work. I still like him though. Loved his response to what would you offer the Palestinians? "Nothing!"

RaisedRight2 posted on Suggested Reading  Life, by Keith Richards. There, I said it. Snub me if you must, but I just couldn't resist, having grown up in the 70's, college in the early 80's. Grammatically incorrect throughout, with the f-word sporadically used, it's a kick. If you are a blues fan, you may be surprised to learn that the Stones started as a blues band. Richards does go off on tangents about musicians, especially blues artists, and the intricacies of guitar playing, but otherwise it is a fun trip into the past. I'm just getting into the heavy drug usage, which started in the late 60's. I'm amazed he is still alive. Still, it's hard not to like the guy. I'm playing early Stones music in my car, which is fun to do when he is mentioning the songs and their origin. November 9 at 08:58 EST .    StormCnter  I read an excerpt from that book in ThisWeek. I enjoyed that bit, but I'm the wrong generation to care about reading a whole book about the Rolling Stones.

RaisedRight2 posted on Computers &Tech Issues  This should be an easy question to answer: whenever I go to avatar update to post a picture of myself, I attach an image, click on the continue button, and get kicked out and must sign back in. Is my picture that bad?! November 8 at 08:43 EST .    RaisedRight2  The same thing just happened again. Will try it again tomorrow. Really, this should be easy.

I am computer challenged, so I would appreciate any help from other Ldotters. November 9 at 09:24 EST .  1 person like this.    RaisedRight2  Okay, I now have a profile pic. I tried a different picture and it worked. Give that a try, Fourdny2, even though I know you'd like the Texas flag.
