Good God....please can we change our process????

It has always been clear that Nebraska is a very special place in the heart of Alvarez.

These two tweets came up on my feed one right after the other. The Republican party has totally lost it's ability to see reality. What they don't seem to be able to grasp is that the ONLY reason why they are going to lose the Whitehouse once again and possibly the Senate, is their own ineptitude in nominating someone even remotely mentally stable enough and knowledgable enough to do the job. But....oh boy....if he loses, they are going to grab their muskets. Clueless bastards. The article linked in the first tweet quotes the congressman saying they might go start a third party. GREAT!!! Go!!!! get the hell out of the party and let people who know what they are doing take over.

It is really going to suck having a World Series game on at the same time as the Husker vs. Wisconsin game. Have to say....I'm probably going to be watching the Cubs. This is for all the marbles in the world (including the steelies). I'll tape the Husker game and watch it later.

Maybe she needs to start with her husband.

Both are pathetic. I can not and will not support either one. No matter what happens, January 20th 2017 will be a very sad day for America.

got a kick out of this. MLB calling out the Indians Twitter feed.

I've been saying a lot of the same things. Good description of the problem.

To be accurate, this is the "MEDIAN" salary which is different than "average" salary. I would be interested in seeing the "average" salary rankings.

Thanks for proving my point.

I'm confused as to how any news outlet knows this stuff. When I send in a ballot, I always thought it was secret and nobody other than the machine or person tallying up the votes would ever see it or know anything about it.If 500,000 people vote early in Nebraska, how does anyone know what candidate is winning from those votes? I believe they're just looking at registered Democrats and their share of the early voting, compared to previous years. Hmmm....I guess that you can look at that. It would be another example of how screwed we are with party politics.

The more I look at this, the more I'm uncomfortable with even the term "Religious Right". It implies that if you are religious, somehow you should be associated with a political "side". That's just simply not how I believe being a Christian is. My Christianity is not tied to a political side.

I haven't watched or listened to your link. But, from what you posted, here is where my view has changed. I used to be the died in the wool Republican that thought that they were the party that represented all that was good in the world and I did my darndest to defend everything they did and everyone they elected. Finally, it got to the point where I absolutely couldn't do it any more. I found myself defending the indefensible. I found myself defending these people who then in turn would do things I found disgusting and completely wrong. I was doing it all for the wrong reasons. I thought these few issues were so important that I should just over look all the other crap. I decided enough is enough. I still am a Christian but, I have realized my government doesn't represent me for my religious beliefs nor should it. It is there to give me the freedom to believe how I believe.....not to promote or punish others due to my religious beliefs. As just one example.......I am still pro life. But, I'm tired of being played like a fiddle by politicians who really have absolutely no desire to actually reduce the need for women to feel they need an abortion. That work needs to be done in our homes, churches, schools and society as a whole. This is just one example. Many of my political beliefs have morphed into this type of thought process. Another.....My neighbor is a minister and has a very nice family with three daughters. The oldest is a senior this year. I saw one of her senior pictures that she posted on line. It's her draped with an American flag with about 3 or 4 guns. The comment was something about something with our election. I sat there and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Somehow, this minister thinks that guns are some how tied to his Christianity and in turn, that love of owning guns in the name of God is fed through the government. These are the types of issues where the Religious Right have gone WAY off track to the point that, even though I'm a Christian and a gun owner, I have no desire to be some how associated with this group of people. This is where the Religious Right need to reevaluate their values and what really is important in the name of their religion and how that religion says they should be leading their lives.

Naaa....I'm OK with discussing the severity of different types of losses and the level of disappointment I have with the various situations.

And then I'll just laugh at them. If Bo was still the HC I wouldn't be surprised at all by a blowout loss. If Riley loses this game, itll be close and competitive. Not a 40 point blowout that bo made famous. While I agree...this is one thing that I feel absolutely needs to leave the minds of the Husker fans. "Close loss" is for the "little engine that could" programs...Not for Nebraska. Back to the impact of this game. A win here really pretty much gives Nebraska the West Division Title. Please explain who is saying they are going to be happy with a close loss or a close loss is great or wonderful. Sure, well first...I did not say that people would be happy with a close loss or that a close loss is great or wonderful. I said that we need to stop thinking that a close loss is something NU should strive for but since you asked here are some posts that I would toss into the old "I would be okay with a close loss" category. I would be happy with a close, competitive game. Final score somewhere close to the spread. I want Nebraska to kick their asses and win. But I'll be satisfied if we prepare well this week and play hard Saturday. I'd really like to see our O-line have a great game giving TA time and TN/DO lanes. Preferably win but either way just make the game a competitive one. Just like Wisconsin's games with Michigan and Ohio St. were. If we do that it will do a lot for the confidence of the fan base and the national media that we are close to being "back". If that perception happens then we will win a lot of recruiting battles with this staff which in turn could mean a lot more successful seasons ahead. As painful as it would be, just keep this thing close. Just let it be a 4 quarter game. F you Bo Pelini and what you have done to my confidence levels So, clearly there are people (Husker fans) that if NU gets beat on a last second field goal will "okay" with it and so on. Now, I see what you are getting at, I really do. I get it, trust me, I do. You yourself said something like "If we lose, I won't be happy. But, at least if I get my wish here, it will be respectable." Your wish, you said, was to keep it respectable. That is the "Little Engine That Could" stuff. This is NU...They have out-recruited Wisconsin for the last 10 years...Our head coach was the freaking mentor to their coach, we have a 4 year starter at QB, they have a freaking freshman statue at QB. They just lost their all-world LB and their All-world NT. This is Nebraska...Not WMU, trying to make a name for themselves. f#*k being okay with a close loss. Win the freaking game. They can do it. Period. To the red part: No you don't. And, to the blue part implying that you understand my quote: You clearly have proven that you have no clue what I or anyone else was saying. Here is my quote from the other thread that you think you understood.....but took out of context. Got, your wish is that it is respectable. That is cool My wish is for a Husker win...and a threesome. You're really having a problem with comprehension here aren't you? No...you said you won't be happy with a loss. Neither will I. But then I have to ask, what is your wish? Why say that if you get your wish here, it will be respectable. Does that mean that you are okay with a 21-20 loss? Yes...you are having problems here... let me try to help you. a)....."I obviously want to see us win" means, I want us to win. b)....."But, if we lose, I want to see us competitive and have a chance to win it in the 4th. " Means, there is a chance we are going to lose this game. So....if we do lose, I want us to at least have a chance to win it in the 4th quarter instead of a total blow out and be finished by half time. c)....."Also, if we lose, I want it to be because they make good plays instead of us doing something totally inept." Means, IF that bad thing none of us want to happens, happens, I want it to be because they beat us by being a really good team instead of us totally crapping our pants on the field acting like we have never played football before. You know....like maybe the team was well prepared and coached well. d)....."If we lose, I won't be happy." Meaning....there's that pesky quote again about me not being happy if we lose. Interesting that you can't seem to quite understand that. e)....."But, at least if I get my wish here, it will be respectable." Now....here is the really tricky part. Concentrate really close. IF WE LOSE (important point, you do understand that I won't be happy if we lose and I want us to win....correct?) and I get my wish (meaning items b and c) at least it will be respectable.

How in the hell is that "being OK with a close loss" ....or, "a little engine that could". I won't be happy. I stated that in the original post and I stated it here too. Do I need to say it again??? I want us to win and I won't be happy with a loss.

I think it will be Tommy on offense and the D line on defense. If the D line can make them one dimensional while not drawing away from the pass coverage, that would be huge. Get pressure on the QB without selling all out on blitzes every pass play. This will make DBs like Gerry and Jones to shine. On offense I think there will be a very quiet but very important contributor. I don't expect Westerkamp to play a huge roll that shows up on the stat line. But, With him in the game, their DBs are going to have to account for him a lot more which will either allow other WRs to be open or actually open up the running game more. This will make it possible for Tommy and Newby to shine.

I'm interested in knowing what your definition of "globalism" is. Can you please explain that to me?

Correct me if I'm wrong but CU basically was a freedom of speech decision. They claimed that donations to campaigns were a form of speech and the government can not regulate that even if it is through various organizations like unions or corporations. This decision then also allowed Super Pacs...etc. I am all for getting rid of the CU decision because the way things are right now, is totally unacceptable. However, then the question remains, what donations or political expenditures are protected and which are not? Is a union donating money acceptable but a corporation isn't? Are those two not accepted but Super Pacs are allowed? Let's say I'm not a Super Pac but I am George Soros and I want to spend a billion dollars on an ad campaign trashing the opponent of the politician I support.....am I prevented from doing so? I think all of us don't like CU. But, it's not a simple answer as to how it is fixed.
