Liberal Double Standard
Television has been taken over by political correctness but only punish the republican 'offenders'.
Rosanne Barr is a very public Trump supporter. She even made her character of the same name a republican. The reboot of the sitcom Rosanne was initially very successful. Her cast was very diverse. The kids were now married with kids. DJ was married to a black woman and they have a daughter. Darlene has a transgender son. But when the star took to Twitter to express her discontent with Valerie Jarrett the world became unhinged.
I am the first to jump on racists. Ignorance and vile remarks don't have a place in my world. But I have had a brief online encounter with Rosanne Barr. In my opinion she is very impulsive and opinionated. BUT if you take exception to something she says, she will hear you out. She will also acknowledge how you feel and can see why you feel that way. In my opinion if Valerie had been white with big ears she would have said she was an offspring of Dumbo. I was shocked by what she said. I just don't think she's a racist.
Rosanne was fired by ABC very quickly. The show is now called The Conner's. It's not getting the ratings in part to fans being angry at the firing of the star. It's been said ABC even regrets acting so fast in firing her. They said maybe a suspension would have been a more reasonable reaction.
The double standard was blatantly clear on a recent CNN broadcast. Three black male guests were speaking on Kayne West and a recent White House visit. One of the guests said something like 'that's what you get when a negro reads.' There were other just as offensive remarks. The guests were not punished nor reprimanded. The excuse being black people can talk about other black people in racial terms. So its not racist unless someone of a different race says it? I found it offensive. Rosanne tweeted, she wasn't on television and her world was turned upside down.
Why is there a double standard in the television industry? Political correctness and its consequences only applies to conservatives. Liberals are looking more and more like dictators. Do as we say not as we do. What we want is right and you are wrong. Mob mentality on the streets and infringing on the rights of others in the media. When will it stop? I hope with the midterm elections. Conservatives get out and vote on Nov 6th.

Productive?
How is acting out attacking republicans suppose to help win elections? I was a left leaning moderate until I saw the chaos over the Kavanaugh hearings. Now I have distanced myself as far as possible from the crazy. I don't know how they can think this will win votes. I hope more than ever its a Republican sweep this midterm election. It's may be the only way they will learn. Crazy doesn't win!
I have found it impossible to have a conversation with democrats. No one wants to talk and that's the problem. How are we ever going to understand each other if we don't speak to each other. Democrats call this a melting pot so we should embrace the immigrants. They refuse to respect the rights of Republicans because they feel different on some topics. But yet they scream for the rights illegal aliens. See the hypocrisy? They want to dictate what is acceptable and what isn't. Say no to democrats this Nov 6th !!!
As I watch the news I can't believe I ever considered myself a democrat. Protesting is one thing, harassment is another. The democratic leaders encouraging this behavior is disgusting. I hope when someone is killed by the mob the leaders are held accountable.
We are no longer a civilized society. Just remember God is watching!

Kavanaugh Vs. Democrats
I have always been more of a moderate politically, but the behavior of the left over the Kavanaugh confirmation has left me stunned. For a group of people screaming about abuse then spitting on on Senators is hypocrisy. Spitting is an assault and can spread diseases like Hepatitis. Sending coat hangers to Senators concerning abortion is simply histrionics. The difference from the use of coat hangers for abortion is the colossal amount of birth control available today. Yet they are for gun control because guns kill. Yet they kill helpless babies in the womb. Later groups admit to hiring activists to keep the momentum going. Democrats want what they want and to hell with everyone else.
I knew the fight was really about saving Roe V Wade. Senator Feinstein made a point of talking about abortion during her speech on why she would be voting no. The democrats would have attacked any conservative nominee because they didn't want a conservative majority on the bench. They would have kept trying to delay until after the midterm elections, thinking they could have an majority vote. Personally, a woman fighting for the right to kill her baby is like telling the world she can't take responsibility for her reproductive health. There are so many choices before pregnancy. So many different forms of birth control woman can take along with the condom. Condoms are needed too because of STD's.
Once we choose to open our legs we deal with the consequences. It's not fair to kill a baby because you weren't responsible. Read the embryologist reports, those "clumps of tissue" has his/her own DNA. I hear outcry about pregnancy due to rape. So now both the woman and the baby are the victims, pregnancy is temporary. Killing the baby won't undo the trauma of rape.
I am 100% against abortion. I believe life begins at conception. Adoption is the best alternative. There are so many couple wanting to adopt. I am so against abortion that I won't even abort animals during a spay. With the exception of one time I took a friends dog to a spay clinic. They failed to tell me their dog was pregnant- it wasn't obvious. The clinic called to say there would be an additional charge for the puppies. My friend said she knew, but knew I wouldn't do it if I knew, so she chose not to tell me. I found homes for all the puppies of the first litter. Had I been given the chance, I would have done the same for the second. I will never forget nor will I ever be so nice again.
As for the "Me Too" movement and the claims of sexual misconduct by Justice Kavanaugh. I think if the letter was shared when received, the circus could have been avoided. As for the claim from Dr. Ford. I wonder if it had simply been a "she said, he said" if things would have been viewed differently and given more weight in her favor. But adding witnesses hurt her because they didn't recall her claims. One even claimed she was pressured by Ford's people to change her story in favor of Ford. I personally don't think it was Kavanaugh who sexually abused her. I know depraved men who were sexually abusive in high school and still are today.
Also, questioning someone's drinking behavior in high school is also far fetched. How many of us can look back at our school days and say we didn't do anything bad? One of the things I participated in was underage drinking. The democrats needing to go back to high school proved how desperate they were to try and kill this nomination.
Overall, I am most surprised by how my friends have reacted towards me with my support of Kavanaugh. Suddenly, I'm pro rape, as a survivor that is the most ludicrous thing I've heard. What happened to me had nothing to do with the confirmation. Firstly, what happened to me was much more violent and actual rape. I am about truth and proof. We can't just ruin a person's life simply by pointing a finger. I have also learned democratic friends don't want to see or read what the other side has to say. Even as a moderate I paid attention to both sides. That's the only way to be fully informed. I had an awakening and I am glad a sense of peace came with it. I just let the angry people vent and pay attention to the hypocrisy in their statements.

Watching
I always sit out with the dogs when I let them out. The other morning I could see in my peripheral vision I was being watched. The neighbor across the street got divorced and moved in some buddies. One of them has a girlfriend and she was watching. I'm use to it actually, people always stare. Not sure if its because they never seen a handful of dogs together before or they think I'm odd for sitting outside with them when I have a fenced in yard. About ten minutes later the girl came out of the house and was standing at my fence. She asked me if I wanted her dog a Jack Russel Terrier. I said I really just don't have the room. She smiled and said okay.
When she left I realized I had just learned a lesson. This girl was once obviously very beautiful but was now deteriorating due to drugs. She's bone skinny and has rotten teeth. She is in constant movement even while just standing and talking. My guess is she's on meth. The lesson for me- I always wanted to be pretty. My mom was known for her beauty. My dad told me when I was 12 that I was ugly. He blamed me for the sexual abuse by others. He said, "Men think ugly girls are easy girls". What I saw this morning was sometimes beauty isn't enough. This girl had what I always wanted but was killing herself.
Before I got sick I was okay looking. Thin with a lot of thick long curly hair. Now I've got a weight problem and my hair is thinning. But I'm grateful that I haven't gotten into drugs and invest my time & money in animal rescue. I guess this is a lesson to stop watching others and accept myself...apparently beauty isn't the main ingredient to a happy life.

He called me Mommy
Joey was an African Grey. I was on a rescue mission for a different bird that was sick & I noticed Joey watching me wherever I moved across the room. I asked for his story. I was told he attacks everyone. Since he seemed so interested in watching me I asked if I could hold him. They said at my own risk. I opened the door to his cage and he climbed right up on my arm. He was a love.
It took weeks to raise the money to save the sick bird and in the process I noticed the people HATED Joey and I feared for him. My macaw came from this place and they'd hit him for being "mean". One day I checked in on them and Joey climbed on my & hid his face in the crease of my arm. I asked what was wrong and he looked up at me. His beak was badly cracked. I got him out of that place too. Vet wasn't sure his beak would totally heal but it did. The other bird lived too and was later adopted out. Joey never lost his anger towards people. He would only go to me and one of my friends. She died a few years ago from cancer..so it was just me.
Every morning he'd tell me Hello and ask for "Crack" which was his peanut butter crackers. When on the phone if I was repeating numbers to someone he'd throw out random numbers at me. If I were on the phone with my friend Pam he'd constantly yell "Mommyyyy" like Stewy from Family Guy. I never saw the show so he must have picked it up from the commercials.
He had quite the vocabulary it was obvious he had previously lived with a man...if one of the other animals annoyed him he'd say, "I'm gonna kick your ass!" If I told him not to do something he'd blow a raspberry and laugh.
His first day with me he wanted held and asked for a kiss. "Gimme a kiss" so I went to kiss him..he put his beak on my lips and made a farting sound and laughed. Yeah he had a man in his life at some point.
He'd yell "Joey sing!" and then do the Andy Griffith theme whistle.
The other morning I came home & found him struggling..making awful sounds. I called the vet. She got me in right away. He was dying & I put him to sleep. I held him and told him I loved him as he took his final breath.
He trusted me from the moment he saw me. Wish I could have saved him. Even among the chatter of the other two birds...there is a void left by Joey. I miss his voice...he called me mommy...

Justice with Judge Jeanine
Judge Jeanine addressed the Penn State controversy on this weeks show. She brought profound insight into this hideous crime. Always an advocate for the underdog, she gave a powerful voice to Gerald Sandusky's victims. Her summation "Innocence Shattered" left me in tears long after the show was over.
Gerald Sandusky former Penn State football coach has been charged with multiple counts of child molestation that spans about 15 years. He was seen by grad student Mike McQueary sodomizing a 10-year old boy in the locker room showers. It's reported that Sandusky used the Second Mile charity to find and abuse at risk kids.
Judge Jeanine's words were so poignant. She said the kids from this charity were simply happy if they got a new pair of shoes. But instead Gerald Sandusky stole their innocence. When she spoke about how the 10-year old child must have felt knowing an adult (McQueary) saw him being abused and walked away; I was stunned.
She's the first person to point out what it must feel like to have a grown up know and do nothing to help. Until now its been about the adults involved and how could they do it, what motivated them, why people weren't arrested. It took me awhile to recover from Judge Jeanine's summation. There is a level of distrust and pain that goes beyond the abuse when the child knows an adult knew and did nothing to help. There is a loneliness that can't be verbalized and is usually never acknowledged--until now.
I envied the boys because Judge Jeanine spoke up for them. There is some healing when a victim's pain is acknowledged. She gave them respect and value as human beings which is often lost forever after sexual abuse. Though she was speaking for the Sandusky victims, the little girl in me was cheering her on. As Judge Jeanine was berating those who stood by and did nothing, she was healing the hearts of some very battered souls.
If you are interested in learning more about these crimes you can read the full grand jury testimony or view Judge Jeanine's complete summation.
You can catch Justice with Judge Jeanine Saturday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel. She's also on Facebook and Twitter.

Stuff
Update on the Henry situation...the vet board couldn't do anything but told me they didn't like how the emergency clinic does things with payments. They especially didn't agree with charging extra to hold your pet while its put to sleep. They sent me to the attorney general. They took my case and tried but the vet clinic said I knew about the charges before any proceedures. Of course I'd pay the extra to hold him they had me by the balls I didn't have a choice. The attorney general suggests I get a lawyer to persue it. But I'd only get back twenty five dollars so the cost of a lawyer on principle is beyond my means. I emailed my congressman to see who sets the guidelines for veterinarians what is legal and not...waiting to hear back.
I made a video for Judge Jeanine Pirro...interesting for me to see a white lady who has devoted her life to help victims...hell I told my mom what was happening to me and she didn't do anything...I just viewed white ladies as passive or bitchy. Pirro has a balance I didn't think was possible...she's scary tough but also compassionate enough to cry for others...yeah never thought a white lady like this existed. She's gone through hell in her personal life but still gives all she's got to the underdog. Really cool to not only know about her but have the opportunity to 'talk' to her. She's pretty awesome check her out if you haven't! Go to my Youtube ohioruthie to watch the video.
Waiting for test results today...been on thyroid meds for years and now it decided to get funky with results that aren't suppose to be possible..had an ultrasound friday and waiting for results today...my calcium numbers are good so even if they find a tumor it shouldn't be cancer!
The animals are doing great...Indy is making a lot of progress..he didn't know affection and is now loving to be kissed between the eyes...he's still very afraid of hugs so that will take more time. Natalie is simply not friendly to others...looks like I can't take in anymore for awhile...I don't see any of these guys getting adopted anytime soon.
My amazon parrot is at her age limit..she acts like she is going to die one day and comes to life the next..she just sleeps a lot..she's her usual self when she's awake. Not putting her to sleep simply because she's tired..no one would do that for meLOL!!!!
Be nice to others...before I push for a new law that states we can slap stupid...I really lose patience with stupid!!!
