all grown up and .. an outsider for some nights..
How does it feel to be an outsider?....behind the scenes type of feeling.
Picture this in your head, if you're willing to focus for a second my friends ;)
Washington, D.C.- you're probably thinking that you are going to a monument of some sort... well, you're highly wrong loves....
Washington, D.C.-you're in a club, you are here for support for someone that you care for very much, VERY MUCH.. But, you're here just to chill and support, not to be seen and heard... Not to be on display in the dj booth...or to feel as if you are in a cage at the Bronx Zoo...
Do you see what i am getting at???
Alright, so i am literally sitting in the dj booth at a club in Washington, D.C. where Samantha is djing and they have a computer at the back of the booth, which i am on right now..
aside from the fact that she is an amazing dj and i am having a nice time, the glass mirror placed to my left to hide me from photos (literally) is making it all a bit uncomfortable!!!

This blog isn't really intended to mean much, it's just something to let people into my life-kind of a blog to let people know that i am working hard and i go out when samantha is working because she's pretty great to hear and i love to be around her and her energy as much as possible.

Sitting here makes me think about the fact that if Sarah Palin was in office, and living in Washington.. On a "slow" night, she would probably be dressing as one of the gossip girls or tina fey to try and "be cool" enough to get into this club.

I guess me thinking, and blogging about her gives her more attention and credit than she actually deserves.. but as Madonna says. "Express Yourself"

so.... i will
now and forever
be blessed
xx L

this song has nothing to do with Palin .. fyi
Currently listening:
Express Yourself

Apparently the people of California are CONSERVATIVE. That's great news. Thank GOD.

- - - - - - - - - -

The Issue

California voters passed Proposition 22 in 2000 by more than 61%, saying that a marriage in California is between a man and a woman. Earlier this year, four activist judges based in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people's vote, legalizing same-sex marriage.

The Consequences

The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage did not just overturn the will of California voters; it also redefined marriage for the rest of society, without ever asking the people themselves to accept this decision. This decision has far-reaching consequences. For example, because public schools are already required to teach the role of marriage in society as part of the curriculum, schools will now be required to teach students that gay marriage is the same as traditional marriage, starting with kindergarteners. By saying that a marriage is between “any two persons” rather than between a man and a woman, the Court decision has opened the door to any kind of “marriage.” This undermines the value of marriage altogether at a time when we should be restoring marriage, not undermining it.

The Solution

Vote YES on Proposition 8 to overturn the outrageous Supreme Court decision and restore the definition of marriage that was approved by over 61% of voters. Proposition 8 is NOT an attack on gay couples and does not take away the rights that same-sex couples already have under California’s domestic partner law. California law already grants domestic partners all the rights that a state can grant to a married couple. Gays have a right to their private lives, but not to change the definition of marriage for everyone else.

Passing Proposition 8 protects our children and places into the Constitution the simple definition that a marriage is between a man and a woman.

Intelligent Jews oppose OBAMA because he will preside over the NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL by IRAN. If you don't believe me, then ask Benjamin Netanyahu. Or better yet, let's review Obama's own words.

From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Did you know that his Harvard tuition was paid by SAUDI ARABIA? That might account for his rabid ANTI-SEMITISM.

Zogby Shocker: McCain Leads Obama In Latest Poll

Dick Morris tells Newsmax that Friday night's polling for Zogby of 1000 likely voters shows a huge shift for John McCain. Zogby's poll, conducted on Friday night only, has McCain at 48% and Obama at 47%.

Zogby's overall poll has Obama with a lead — but that's based on a three-day average that includes Wednesday and Thursday polling data.

"There is a seismic shift for McCain; it could turn into an earthquake this weekend," Dick Morris told Newsmax.

"I think a large of the credit goes to GOPTrust.com for it's courageous use of the Rev. Wright ad and the many tens of thousands who have donated almost $9 million before election day," Dick Morris added.

Obama is a SOCIALIST, a MARXIST, and a STALINIST. Does anyone remember old Joe Stalin?

He wants to destroy the Constitution of the United States because individual freedom isn't compatible with COMMUNISM.

Obama is the infanticide, voter fraud, race card, and re-distributionist candidate of the Scam-ocratic Party.

VOTE REPUBLICAN. Vote for JOHN McCAIN and SARAH PALIN.

Wow big words from such a little thought process eh?? Do you even know what communism is or marxism, or stalinism for that matter? I would be surprised if you were able to come up with even there key points. You should not speak so loudly, because it only makes it even clearer that the Republican supporters also happen to be the least educated people in the US. There is a reason why all of those pretty red states also happen to have the worse education systems, the worst tests... and yea.. you are a great example of that. Read something, learn something, and then talk. But then, it makes sense that you would identify yourself with McCain, he also has very little edcuation! By the way, do you know where Iraq is? I bet you couldn..t find it on a map... When you come back with the main principles of the schools of thoughts that you have just so loudly spoke out about, then tell me what makes Obama even slightly like them, then you deserve a gold star! because you wont find it!!! READ SOMETHING!

Kimberly,

Let's review some of Obama's opinions in his very own words.

We the voters SMELL a RAT. To be more specific, we the voters SMELL a CHICAGO RAT.

- - - - - - - - - -

Barack Hussein Obama II was raised by his WHITE mother Ann Dunham. However, he doesn't have any nice things to say about her.

By his own admission, Barack Hussein Obama II is a cold, calculating RACIST.

- - - - - - - - - -

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

- - - - - - - - - -

And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL.

From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

Did you know that his Harvard tuition was paid by SAUDI ARABIA? That might account for his rabid ANTI-SEMITISM.

Consider the following relevant points.

1. Most abortions in America are committed against BLACK babies. Democrat Obama supports abortion and infanticide. Is that genocide?

2. In RWANDA, 800 thousand Black Africans were murdered by fellow Black Africans. Democrat Bill Clinton refused to intervene. Is that genocide?

3. In the United States, most Black Americans are murdered by fellow Black Americans. Liberalism is the root cause of Black social devastation. Is that genocide?

Because a black person says "Black pride!" and they're proud.

A white person says "White pride!" and they're automatically a member of the KKK.


We're not allowed to say "Nigger" without massive protest.

Black people call us "cracker" and "honkey" all day.


I'm not allowed to have any comments on a black person, because anything negative is automatically responded with; "It's because i'm black!"

Someone says anything negative about a white person, and I have to shut my mouth or hear about how "I enslaved the black race."

Really.


Were YOU yourself there when slavery was going on?

Was I there?!


My grandparents weren't even there. I'm Irish and Portugese. Both races were also enslaved and treated badly.

But I'm not allowed to express MY anger at how MY ancestors were treated.

Why?


Because i'm not black.




So fuck you with your racist bullshit. You're just as bad as the white guys who run around hating black people.

You just hate white people, because a long time ago, people of my skin tone did bad things to people of your skin tone.


Don't you realize, that the person who tried the hardest for freeing the slaves was Abraham Lincoln;

A WHITE MAN.






Fuck you.

OBAMA is an ANTI-SEMITE

- - - - -

John McCain and Sarah Palin, the Republican nominees for president and vice president, sharply criticized the Los Angeles Times today for withholding a video of a 2003 event in which Barack Obama, their Democratic rival, praised a Palestinian scholar.

"It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that," Palin said in Bowling Green, Ohio. "Maybe some politicians would love to have a pet newspaper of their very own. In this case, we have a newspaper willing to throw aside even the public's right to know in order to protect a candidate that its own editorial board has endorsed."

Rush Limbaugh said:

"The people of this country love their Constitution, and the people of this country reject socialism, and they don't support an authoritarian judiciary. And this is the Obama agenda. He wants to unleash the full power of the federal government, especially through the courts, against the people, including the middle class. He views the government of the United States as a weapon, as an instrument to be used against people. And that's what throws him off about the Constitution. The Constitution limits, legally, what government can do. So if you can't change the Constitution, you pollute the judiciary with people with like-minded views who will rewrite laws . . . ."

LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF LIBERAL BLACK RACISM:

It would be racism to vote AGAINST Obama because he is allegedly black. Alternatively, it would be racism to vote FOR (i.e., IN FAVOR OF) Obama because he is allegedly black. Since most LIBERAL BLACKS will vote for Obama BECAUSE he is allegedly BLACK, then one can conclude that most LIBERAL BLACKS are RACIST.

Just for the record, I really don’t have much of a problem with socialism...


...but Barack Obama is not a socialist.

Guess what America? We use socialism all the time, even in a capitalist society. Medicare, Social Security, Taxes = SOCIALISM. Not to mention Unemployment, Financial Aid, Disability, etc.
We are a Capitalist society, but BOTH sides constantly use Socialism to bail out Capitalism when it fails. Taxation is supposed to redistribute the wealth, no? Obama supports tax breaks for the lower middle class and McCain supports tax breaks for wealthier people. Either way, it is SOCIALISM. It is not pure, true socialism, but it is still part of it. Republicans, especially McCain and Palin use it just as the Democrats do. They pretend they don't, and people buy it because many people don't even realize what Socialism really is.

Besides, I like many socialist ideals. To me, if Obama really was a socialist (and he's not - he's a Democrat - there is a difference) that would make me like him even more.

Not that Socialism in its purest form works, but neither does Capitalism. So, why don't the two get married and balance the economy out?

It would be a logical assumption that because we know that pure socialism doesn't work neither will pure capitalism. And we are learning that as capitalism has grown. Everything is about balance, and there are more than just the one flaw - that just happens to be the flaw getting attention at the moment.

To assert the rule of law is the problem I guess you are talking about regulation to make sure people follow the rules. The main reason pure capitalism will not work is the lack of equal opportunity. With pure capitalism only those fortunate enough to be born into opportunity will benefit from it. What happeed to "survival of the fittest" that the republicans have always used as justification for their extreme wealth? That argument went out the window with the corporate bailout.

To earn my bachelor's in business/major in accounting I was required to take additional classes in economics, and along with 15 years of work as a controller my understanding of economics is far above basic.

I was also required to take advanced classes in law, which I aced - graduated with an overall gpa of 3.7 - point being, I have a full and complete understanding of economics, business and law.

The theories of "Equal Opportunity" and "survival of the fittest" are more widely addressed in biology, sociology, psychology and philosophy; the latter term is applied in economics in reference to competition and is often criticized because it does not factor in morality.

The lack of equal opportunity is one of many reasons why our society is a mix of both socialism and capitalism. Another is inherent greed. You will learn the many reasons, they are not mine, in "sociology", "psychology", "biology" and "philosophy" for dummies. I won't take the time to explain it here - you'll have to learn it on your own.

I say logical assumption because the 2 theories are at completely different ends of the spectrum. To put it simply, one implies everyone working together for the common good, the other implies every man for himself. They are 2 different things - complete opposites. But just as socialism can go too far left, capitalism can go too far right. 2 different things that have a direct impact on each other.

That is what I meant by balance - since one directly affects the other you have to find a common ground.

What we do know is that species that work together survive; those that work against each other die out.

As for "the law of the jungle" we live in a civilized society. We have the ability to think, rationalize, feel and make decisions with good information. Correction: the term is used as justification of some taking from others for the good of themselves, regardless of their political affiliation.

DAMN dude! You said: "How do you know if true capitalism doesn't work? The only flaw with Capitalism is how the banks operate and all they're phony loans and so on, but that isn't a flaw with Capitalism, that's a flaw with rule of law."

Then I said: "To assert the rule of law is the problem I guess you are talking about regulation to make sure people follow the rules."

I was only speculating what you meant by REFERRING to "the rule of law" being the only problem with capitalism since you did not elaborate or explain your reasoning - if you mean that those in power behave as if they are "above the law" then that is what I meant by assuming you were referring to the need for regulation. I in no way attempted to define the meaning of the "rule of law" - I thought the issue was socialism vs capitalism -?

I did not ask you the meaning of the "rule of law" - I was "guessing" as to why you referred to the concept as the only problem with capitalism.

But if it will make you happy - to put it simply: the rule of law is a system that attempts to protect the rights of citizens from arbitrary and abusive use of government power.

The term has many interpretations depending on the society to which it is applied. We could debate the meaning until the end of time and it would be pointless.

Sarah Palin is an Un-American hag who wanted Alaska to leave the union.

Sarah Palin is about as intelligent as a sea horse.

Sarah Palin is anti-woman.

Sarah Palin criticized community organizers, stating mayors did more work...Martin Luther King, Jr, a community organizer, is rolling over in his grave right now.

Sarah Palin goes AGAINST what our founding father's wished and incorportates religion with politics. Our founding father's were Deists who believed in the separation of church and state.

Sarah Palin claims that the only real America is rural America...that is insulting to those of us who are true patriots but do not live in rural areas.

Sarah Palin claimed she never even thought much about the Iraq war as governor. WHAT? REALLY? And she thinks she can see Russia from her house.

JOE BIDEN IS AMAZING AND SARAH PALIN IS A JOKE.

Sarah Palin is dangerous.

LINDSAY, I DEDICATE THE SONG; SINCE I DONT HAVE YOU BY GUN AN ROSES
I dont have plans and schemes
and I dont have hopes and dreams
I dont have anything
since I dont have you
And I dont have fond desires
and I dont have happy hours
I dont have anything
since I dont have you
and I dont have happyness
and I guess I never will love again
When you walked out on me
in walked the misery s been here since then
I dont have love to share
and I dont have one who cares
I dont have anything
since I dont have
you you you
you you you
la la la la la la la la la......
