Bill Ayers: Becoming a target of 'terrorist' attack

For the past few years, I have gone about my business, hanging out with my kids and, now, my grandchildren, taking care of our elders (they moved in as the kids moved out), going to work, teaching and writing. And every day, I participate in the never-ending effort to build a powerful and irresistible movement for peace and social justice.

In years past, I would now and then – and often unpredictably – appear in the newspapers or on TV, sometimes with a reference to Fugitive Days, my 2001 memoir of the exhilarating and difficult years of resistance against the American war in Vietnam.

Then came this political season.

Yes, we have to stand with them. That said, we have to also acknowledge that we may not be able to get much out of that ABM site if the Russians decide its a threat.

I think this bozo needs a dictionary.

1. Intense, overpowering fear. See Synonyms at fear.
2. One that instills intense fear: a rabid dog that became the terror of the neighborhood.
3. The ability to instill intense fear: the terror of jackboots pounding down the street.
4. Violence committed or threatened by a group to intimidate or coerce a population, as for military or political purposes.
5. Informal An annoying or intolerable pest: that little terror of a child.

Perhaps he's thinking of the 5th definition.

Not all of celebrity-ville has lost their mind.

In the new issue of TV Guide, Carrie [Underwood] said, "There is someone I do support, but I don't support publicly. I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions. I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to. Music is where you go to get away from all the BS. Whether it's from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape."

There is actually some very kool history in the desert.

The Atomic museum in ABQQ was very kool. Probably the only museum left in the world that actually has a display that says the bombing of Japan was a good and necessary thing.

re: #139 Dark_Falcon

How do you figure that? Should the South have been allowed to tear the nation asunder?

I'm from the north, so I do not presume to speak for the southern man. However, the federal government was founded on protecting states rights, and the Declaration of Independence guaranteed that the governed had the right to dissolve the governmental contract. But when the southern states tried to enforce their right as sovereign states to choose their own form of government, Washington DC instructed them through force of arms that it is the federal government that decides what states can and cannot do.

As for your question whether the South should be "allowed" to "tear the nation asunder (sic)", I believe the Founding Fathers would have tried another compromise rather than going to war, but the war would have been fought inevitably since slavery is not tolerated in the modern world, to our credit.

I am the walrus. Coup coup, kachoo.

Except that ending slavery was never a part of the Civil War until after the war was over and history was being re-written.

In terms of initial war aims, I agree, but that did change during the war, when Lincoln issued the "while we are at it" Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves in states still in rebellion as of 1 Jan 1863, IIRC.

I get confused on all this European history. I'm supposed to be part Norman--I thought that was Viking and Gaul? Or FWENCH in today's terms. Add to that Welsh and Bavarian (or whatever Bavaria used to be) and OF COURSE, Irish.

It's just easier to say, I'm an American.

You may have heard that Gun sales have gone up tremendously since Tuesday. Turns out ammunition sales have as well. I'm taking a revolver class tomorrow and needed to get 400 rounds of 38 special. Our local gunstore (Turners) was out, I called a bigger Turners in Signal Hill (near Long Beach), they were out and didn't know anyone who had it. Finally found some at a gun range.

re: #194 Shay4l

There is some truth to what you say. I would however note that people who made the decision to secede from the Union did not really represent the people of their states in the full sense. As their states contained slaves, they were seceding to protect their ability to deprive others of their freedom. Such a secession cannot be regarded as legitimate.

That place was just too cool. You drive onto the Air Force base and have to stop and pick up a pass. The AF security guard (Full dress uniform, with white gloves... my cousin would have married him on the spot) told us to drive down the street for about a mile and turn Right onto Colorado Avenue. Keep driving until we saw the plane on the right, that was it. No further explanation.

A plane on an Air Force Base? So we drove down the road, turned right onto Colorado, and about a mile later... a B-52. Couldn't miss it.

Any concessions made to a man like that need to be accompanied by parallel, verifiable concessions from him. Anything less and he'll just go right one pushing you and taking from you. If you are not willing to risk everything, Putin will take everything.
