BSG is only truly original freakish weird when the Mormons/LDS people do it. That’s because the original author was telling a theological message with the colonies as tribes of israel.

I have no bias as a judge of humanity and this world, towards or against socialists and capitalists. They are merely the tools and toys that mortals want to play with. They are free to enjoy themselves as they see fit.

This is not a matter of correct or incorrect to me.

The executive officer, named Saul Tigh, also resembled John McCain. Curious.

BSG started great and had some interesting ideas, which seemed to grow out of 9-11, but quickly turned to rabid anti-Bush, anti-Iraq War propaganda as the mood in Hollywood changed.

Conservatives have long boasted their babes are better than Dem babes and there was some truth to it — consider Sarah Palin vs Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi.

Witness Iranian Revolution and also North Korea’s congregation of middle management tend to have a lot of women in them.

“…the parallels between Salazar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are hard to overlook. Salazar pitches the same brand of Democratic Socialism as her New York colleague and she’s got that “ready for TV” look which makes for great advertisements. And again, much like Ocasio-Cortez, she’s got that compelling life story which speaks to diversity, struggle and the promise of America for aspiring immigrants. It’s that last bit which is problematic, as John pointed out when he talked about her “curiously shifting” background story. Many of the claims she made regarding her upbringing, her religion, her family”s economic struggles and even her place of birth have been called into question.”

To say the least.

“Now, in a new interview with New York magazine City & State, Salazar’s brother Alex and her own mother are calling her out for this fictional life she claims to have led, clearly implying that she’s bringing discredit on her family.
…[long list of discrepancies]…
And this is her own mother and brother going to the press to shoot down her stories.

Will any of this have any impact on her election prospects? Tough to say. This material isn’t getting all that much play in the local press so many of the voters in that senate district might not even know about it. And even if they do, will the local Democrats care? Julia Salazar has one of those life stories which just tugs at your heartstrings and she checks off most of the Democrats’ demographic boxes. Why let a little thing like reality spoil all the good times?”

“Rather than being some sort of outlier or even the root of the problem, isn’t Julia Salazar more of a symptom of something larger? I’ll actually agree with Weiss when she says that there are a lot of conservatives out there who find some of the President’s tweets and comments distasteful and a distraction from pressing issues, but still support him because he’s getting the job done. Salazar is similarly trudging off to Albany with an albatross of proven dishonesty hanging around her neck, but she’s promising to serve up the meal that the socialist wing of the party craves. …
What makes Salazar’s sins perhaps even worse is the uncomfortable fact that she’s peddling positions which were antithetical to her less than a decade ago. As Weiss reminds readers, it wasn’t all that far in the rear-view mirror when the candidate proudly proclaimed herself to be pro-life, a conservative Christian Zionist and a registered Republican. By the time she set up her run for office she was pro-abortion, an advocate of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel and a warrior in the fight to “dismantle capitalism.” It’s true that people’s views can evolve over time as they take in new information, but Salazar is still in her twenties. All of this happened virtually overnight and it was an awfully convenient realignment to match the values of the community she needed to win over.

Post-truth politics is one thing. What Salazar has managed to pull off looks far more like the most successful snake oil sales rally seen in the modern era. And she’s being held up by progressives as yet another face representing the future of the left. Is this really something to celebrate?”

You know for sure in Ocasio’s case – she is no way “beautiful” unless you are turned on by big teeth and cray-cray crossed eyes. Salazar is pleasant looking but “beautiful” is a stretch. Disclaimer: I would not be accurately described as “beautiful”. Or “handsome”.
