John Russell Houser, of Phenix City, Alabama, posted frequently across a variety of online forums from political discussions to message boards for Oldsmobile enthusiasts where he complained about moral decay and media brainwashing.
America is so sick that I now believe it to be the enemy of the world, he wrote under the name Rusty Houser in a December 2013 comment on Fellowship of the Minds. I know next to nothing about Iran, but the little I do know tells me they are far higher morally than this financially failing filth farm.
The 59-year-old Houser, who told acquaintances that voting was waste of time, was less active on Facebook and Twitter, although he left behind some clues about his beliefs on those social media networks.If you dont think the internet is censored, try reading a newspaper from a country that hates liberals the way I do, reads his second and last Twitter post, from June 2013. The first argues that Westboro Baptist Church may be the last real church in America [members not brainwashed].
His Facebook account shows just two likes the I hate liberals! political organization, which uses an avatar that reads Stand with Rand, and the Crossroads Irish-American Festival.Posts on his Facebook page reveals an interest in limiting womens influence over the church, a hatred for American culture, and complaints about liberals brainwashing Americans into hating their own country.

Too bad one of the heroes in this tragedy was a person Jindal hates, a teacher without a gun.

(5,762 posts)The very first thing I said this morning when I heard about this incident was that it was no accident that he chose "Trainwreck" as his theater. He was making a very pointed statement about women, and what could and should happen to women who step out of line (sounds like a familiar theme this week, when you can apparently be executed for "DWU*"
I feel sick.

Now I realize it gets mollified with white privilege, but still,
IN the 60's when my accountant sister graduated college, they told her not to expect to get a job other than book keeper. White guys had 5 interviews, black guys had 20 interviews, it took her almost 50 interviews to find a company willing to take achance on a woman accountant, she was paid less, because she was going to leave to have children, even though in the 8 years she worked there, she saw guys come and go. When she did get pregnant, she was no longer allowed to go out to clients, but had to move files in heavy boxes in storage. because, well, you know. She finally started her own practice, just as I finally became a self employed consultant to not have to fight for raises.
I am not saying racism was not as bad and worse, it is even harder in many fields for black women. I was in my first job for 10 months until I found out that they only hired whites and one person I hung out with for months was "passing", and then I got a respectable job. I also ended up working for volvo office for a short time, where I found that the group I was in only seemed to hire blonde Americans, I had a friend who was an Italian descendent, just as qualified who never got the job, you look around the office and think, what is the odds that the only qualified people up for jobs were blonde with blue eyes? They did hire consultants of all races and hair colors, but the majority were blonde, like me.
