It is a group of concerned citizens who, after digesting all information that can be gleaned from all sources, not just the red state pablum, they discuss it and use it as talking points to neo-cons and other folks who just would like to know exactly where their country is really going. <BR/><BR/>Am I going to fast for you Mrs. Rooney?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have discovered, since moving down here in Sin City USA (Las Vegas, Nevada), just how missinformed I was up there in Idaho especially since nearly every newspaper in South Central Idaho is owned by Lee Enterprises and gives a very conservative view to those willing to swallow it. It would not be so bad if the news was indeed reported fairly and balanced in truth, but it most assuredly is not. Nor is Fox news the epitomy of honesty. <BR/><BR/>Drinking Liberally participants mostly don't even drink. They are interested in truth. They do not bash each person that does not agree with them, either. They leave that to the conservative right. They are the ones who seem to be experts at it. <BR/><BR/>Have an informed day watch C-Span for the real news. Eat organic foods and not CAFO products with the steroids and pesticides in it. You will have a better life.<BR/><BR/>Jim Hyder<BR/><BR/>5145 Kell Lane, Las Vegas, NV 89156Just Callin' It Like I See Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384844282325760717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15482492.post-1143505833445635322006-03-27T17:30:00.000-07:002006-03-27T17:30:00.000-07:00Thank you, Aimee, for this response (posted at htt...Thank you, Aimee, for this response (posted at http://spittininthesnake.blogspot.com/2006/03/Submitted%20GCL ):<BR/><BR/>Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.” Kathy Rooney’s recent opinion of a letter by Diana Pauls certainly illustrates that point. <BR/><BR/>Diana Pauls has a history of supporting the Gooding community through various service organizations other than the progressive group. She is an intelligent, well-intentioned person who has much to offer our town and her letter was a sincere attempt to correct local misconceptions. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the “far left” does have a sense (not senses) of humor. Rooney should learn that cloaking unnecessary nastiness and even threats of lost business with witticisms a 10-year-old could relate to is not a sense of humor. <BR/><BR/>For someone who predicts that “nobody will care about the ‘Drinking Liberally’ group,” she has expended no little energy spouting off about it. <BR/><BR/>Rooney couldn’t resist an opportunity to accuse the “far left” of questionable practices honed to perfection by this administration. Besides, knowledge would take a little investigation on her part and turning off Fox. A good portion of the country is awakening to the danger we are in; others must think they will be “swept up” instead of “swept out” as Dubya has in mind for them. <BR/><BR/>Rooney’s statement that drinking conservatively “in my experience, definitely is not the case” was entirely unnecessary. I could have guessed.<BR/><BR/>Aimee New<BR/>GoodingJust Callin' It Like I See Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384844282325760717noreply@blogger.com
