64. Actually, It was Lucille Ball, great actress/comedian who said this.

And I was into a short Lucy phase on the internet, & must have posted that in a moment of sanity. Now I don't know if people recall "I Love Lucy" from the early 50s, but I remember watching that show on an 8 inch B & W TV that we had. And watching Lucy, yes the original shows, first time around, was a great family treat. Also, we didn't know she was the brains of the outfit, as history shows her to be..

who attempted to unit this nation around enduring prinnciples. the conservatives were having none of it. and still don't.

[red dog 1]

108. Yes, and he was "a man ahead of his time"

who installed solar panels on the roof of the White House in 1977.

Reagan ordered them taken down on his first day in office, Jan. 21, 1981)


(Jimmy Carter is one of my heroes)

[rampartc]

111. jimmy carter is a hero of mine as well

I helped him with a few habitat projects after katrina.

it is too bad that these reptiles were allowed to write the history of that short sunny era just this side of America's crowning achievement (the moon). everything has been downhill from there.

[red dog 1]

120. and don't forget, Reagan beat Carter in 1980 via criminal acts committed by Wm. Casey et. al.

1) "Debate-Gate"....I forget the assholes's name; but in 1980 he served as a CIA officer assigned to the White House, and he stole & then copied President Carter's briefing papers for the 2nd debate with Reagan, then turned them over to George Will who then used the stolen debate notes to "coach" Ronnie-boy......"Well, there you go again!"

2) October Surprise: -- Reagan campaign chairman William Casey & other members of Reagan's "Kitchen Cabinet" met in secret in Paris with Iranian leaders to ask them to NOT release the hostages until Reagan became POTUS (The Iranians were about to release the hostages)

[red dog 1]

123. Donald Gregg was the White House CIA officer who stole President Carter's debate briefing papers

and copied them, then gave them to William Casey, who gave them to George Will to use in coaching Reagan before the 2nd debate with Carter,

Casey, Donald Gregg and George Will should have been prosecuted for conspiracy to steal top secret presidential papers.....possibly an act of sabotage.

Reagan lost the 1st debate badly, because he couldn't think on his feet, and needed a teleprompter in front of him at all times.
The only way he "won" that 2nd debate was via subterfuge.

[rampartc]

124. reagan had a friendly press as well

that debate was a few years ago, but I remember carter as considerably more knowledgeable and alert.

the October surprise was nothing less than treason.

[red dog 1]

125. I agree!

That whole Reagan campaign team who participated in both Debate-Gate and October Surprise should have been charged with treason, especially William Casey, who orchestrated both illegal operations, and Donald Gregg, who stole top secret papers from Jimmy Carter's desk.

I don't know why there weren't Congressional investigations into both of those illegal operations.

"The color of the prisoner’s skin, and the form of his features, are not impressed upon the spiritual immortal mind which works beneath. In spite of human pride, he is still your brother, and mine, in form and color accepted and approved by his Father, and yours, and mine, and bears equally with us the proudest inheritance of our race — the image of our Maker. Hold him then to be a Man."


I will be curious to see if any lawyers recognize this Effie?

[First Speaker]

211. John Quincy Adams...?

[tymorial]

212. William Henry Seward

The quote comes from Seward's closing arguments while defending William Freeman for murder. Freeman was a black man who had stabbed a family shortly after release from prison. Freeman was mentally ill and abused terribly while in prison. Seward was a supporter of prison reform and better treatment for the mentally ill. Both Seward and his wife were abolitionists and their home was a stop on the underground railroad.

Anyway, Seward sought to prevent Freeman's execution because there was more tha sufficient evidence that he was "insane" Of the nine doctors that evaluated Freeman, all but one agreed. In the trial Seward spoke of the terrible and harsh prison conditions and racial inequality. It was one of earliest instances of the insanity defense taken seriously.

The jury found Freeman guilty but the decision was reversed upon appeal. Officials came to acknowledge Freeman's mental illness and there was no retrial.

Seward was treated horribly during that trial and was a virtual pariah in his own town. This was after he served as governor of New York.

The trial raised his national profile and garnered the attention of abolitionists and other leaders who supported his run for the senate. Soon after he would join the newly created Republican party and challenge Lincoln for the nomination.
