Glenn Beck who few weeks ago said Barack Obama was racist, now says (during an interview with Katie Curic) that Obama is better for the nation than McCain would have been! Fellow conservative radio talk hosts are completely...

bravenewworld I hope so.. But she's been exploiting this for all the conservative sanctimony and rabble-rousing it's worth, and she may not want to let that go (though how this does her any real political good I don't understand).
He's taken the high road, in ignoring...

I don't remember when was the last time I was at my lot. On checking my payment history, I realized that the last time I got a payment was back in september 2007. That was the time when I would answer discussions such as "will you...

bravenewworld Hi, Vega,
Nice to hear from you again. Hope you've been well and work has been OK (I remember you were never sold on the idea of a real job).
I seldom log on to myLot, but I was notified by email that you had started this discussion - the first in nearly...

Here's a question for you....
Does anyone who doesn't know the names of their Representative, Senator, Governor or Mayor have any business being in a voting booth?
Every election year millions of people go to the polls with...

bravenewworld I felt the same way after Bush won the previous 2 elections.
If we're talking about buying votes, that's classic Republican strategy with their promises of tax cuts, as if that's all that each of us should care about. Unfortunately for the GOP, the economic...

A question coming up that has to be answered by every American is do we want an economic system governed by survival of the fittest or governed by an intelligent designer? You cannot choice both, only one can be used. The...

Since I've been following the progress of this Presidential campaign so closely I feel that I have to speak out about what I see happening. There is an ever increasing move toward striking fear into the minds of people about Barak...

bravenewworld Well said. Although the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) factor is not so new, at least not on myLot, where unfounded claims against Obama have been made for months (e.g. enslavement of whites).
Hopefully it will die down after the election, although should...

I had to ask because of my last discussion regarding the presidential debates. Can anyone honestly and with a straight face tell me Governor Palin "won" this debate? I found her to be extremely evasive of questions asked of her...

DO YOU AGREE?
There is little question that John McCain “won” the first debate last night. Perhaps he lost on points (arguments) and style (how could he beat Mr. Smooth?), but McCain “won” over the audience, the only victory...

Who said this: My faith teaches me that I can set in my church and pray all I want but I wont be fullfilling God's will unless I go out and do the Lord's will. Any taker, no it was not one of those right wing Evangelical...

bravenewworld I think you're making too much of this (as usual). He is just saying that paying lip service to his religion in church is not enough. I'm not christian, but that makes sense to me. Of course, I don't expect this means he'll try to set up a theocracy, or...

I haven't seen the movie yet and I probably wouldn't have really been interested in doing so until I heard about the uproar over it from the right-wing nutcases! It's been called "Malthusian fear-mongering" with "fascistic...

bravenewworld My kids have already seen it and loved it. It's got great reviews from co-workers, also. This is the first I've heard about the right wing attempts to politicize it. Nut-cases, indeed!
Is it so controversial that we've been destroying the environment? Kids...

As a former journalist, I often took offense to the term "Liberal Media." From time to time someone would ask me, why is the media so biased toward liberal philosophies? My answer? Why do you think?
Believe it or not, it is not...

bravenewworld Liberal media is only liberal to those that think it's not conservative enough. It's actually conservative to those that don't think it's liberal enough. All depends on your perspective, doesn't it? If your standing at the far right of the political spectrum,...

Obama can talk all day about hope, but hope does not get me from point a to point b. Hope does not lower the price of gas by one cent. We can hope all day but it does not get us off the Middle East gas hook. Actions are more...

I am not really up to date on who's who in the world of tennis anymore, but I know a few names.

bravenewworld I was a Borg fan, and rooted for him against those you mentioned. He was so skilled and phlegmatic; ice cool. The others whines too much. :)
I most enjoyed the era a little before that, with Rod Laver, John Newcome, Stan Smith, and others I'm struggling to...
