I will take the time to explain things to you and provide you with honest advice, to what is best for your situation. I will not pressure you into having a spell cast, I will leave that decision up to you, and when or if you decide to move forward, I might be able to help you.<br />I will respect your Privacy. I will not seek to obtain any of your personal information beyond what you might voluntarily offer and all information you might give me including emails, phone numbers and photos will remain private and confidential.<br />I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 - 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.<br />I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals.

Gore had many other problems besides the media ridicule. For example, he appointed Joe Lieberman as his running mate and many dems didn't like Lieberman. He deliberately disassociated himself from Bill & Hillary instead of support them and running on Clinton's record. That gave him a prudish air that was furthered by Tipper's unfortunate war on rock music, which alienated young people and those with 1st amendment interests. Gore/Tipper were no match for Frank Zappa. Then there were some scandals related to fund-raising and involvement of foreign countries in his campaign finance. George Bush lied about his positions in order to look more similar to Gore leading some to believe there wasn't much difference between them. He had lots of problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-30274543433645966352018-12-16T16:34:00.250-05:002018-12-16T16:34:00.250-05:00Somerby has no consistent political ideology becau...Somerby has no consistent political ideology because his support is determined by who has been nice to him; he likes whoever likes him.<br /><br />Gore is a major focus here because he was Gore's roommate back in the day. He defended Roseanne because he knew her and liked her. If he were friends with Stormy, he would be defending her now, instead of attacking her. Hillary apparently never gave him the time of day...or he didn't like the way Bill & Hillary treated Gore when he was VP.<br /><br />Don't look for any more sophisticated thinking than that.

He/she is saying that Somerby has perhaps missed some important elements in his critique. It’s a valid criticism, given that Somerby principally lays the blame for Gore’s loss on the mainstream media, for example, without really taking other factors into account. It is a theory that can legitimately be critiqued, but Somerby defenders don’t seem to want to have that debate. It isn’t about disliking the liberal side criticized.

If hannity and right-wing radio are mainstream, why are their machinations and propaganda not front page news? That's the question. The original commenter claimed that Somerby ignored them for 20 years which is completely false. He has, hundreds of times, pointed out that mainstream media should be talking about their propaganda. they don't. He's pointed out this hundreds of times. It's a completely valid point.<br /><br />I agree with the commenters above. There is a incredible lack of reading comprehension on the part of these critics here.<br /><br />It may just be one person who is either a satirist portraying themselves as a bone dumb idiot or it is really someone who isn't that smart and can't read. <br /><br />But they are personally offended that he doesn't criticize both sides equally.

But...Your defense of Somerby is quite civil...not. But more importantly, I don’t think it’s entirely clear from having read Somerby for a long time what his politics are. He says “we liberals” and includes himself in that, but who knows? He doesn’t advocate liberal policy in general, so it’s a little hard to tell. Is it ultimately that important? Probably not. But I tend to be skeptical of people’s self-characterizations, and it may matter if he is representing himself as something to his readers that he is not. But I don’t claim to know for sure. <br /><br />He has had some very harsh words about liberals: <br />“We’re lazy and dumb and our morals are bad. There’s little reason for people to like us. Presumably, nobody does.”<br /><br />Perhaps that shows that he is liberal. Perhaps not. <br /><br />I do know that his defenders are often quite nasty and uncivil.
