Our questionable "leadership"
I sometimes tend to believe that the democratic party leadership has been infiltrated by right wing operatives who wish to blunt all of the most important endeavors and duties of the democratic party. We are currently tailspinning into a depression and absolutely no democrat is attempting to do anything about. Our drive to create a renewable fuels industry has been
so mismanaged that it has become a great contributor to our economic demise, and not one democratic "leader" dares to even mention it. We have two great essentials, food and fuel, and not one democrat has attempted to stop the republicans from unnecessarily and apparently deliberately conflicting these two essentials of our society that has resulted in doom for the economy of the wage earner.
ACLU vs Holmes County School Board
I have looked long at history for the reasons that have caused us to be what we are today. We now have a lawsuit against our School Board for it's support for the persecution of homosexuals. I have wondered why we persecute these people for they seem to do no harm to anyone or any of our institutions because of what we are. It really seems mindless, until you look far back into history to it's origins. I have traced it's origins to around 400-415AD. At that time, chattel slavery has been converted to serfdom for 100 years or so, imposed ignorance, poverty, and terror had been substituted for the chains for the control of these slaves. All scientific inquiry and development banned and all records of past accomplishments had been destroyed as part of the imposed ignorance factor. The ignorance part of the control over slavery has been well established, and the Dark Ages was beginning. The Lords of the Roman aristocracy wanted to increase the profits from slavery but no technically progressive method was allowed. The serfs were considered by them to be but livestock, so they seized upon controlling the quality of the serfs the same way they did their other livestock, by controlling their breeding. Every serf slave was also a valuable part of each Lord's wealth, the more serfs on one's property, the greater his wealth. So to breed the perfect obedient, compliant, industrious zombie-like (robotic) slave and enhance to the greatest extent possible their wealth from slavery they controlled the mating of the slaves and forbade any resistance of slave women to having the maximum number of children in her lifetime. After that, serfs were forced to "marry" someone chosen by the state, often a stranger who had been chosen by the "authorities" and no "divorce" or sexual contact outside of this arranged marriage possible. However, one group of people seemed to refuse to cooperate in this scheme. They were the homosexuals who had no interest in procreation. To overcome this resistance, these people were persecuted, driven into their "closets" and forced to procreate for the next 1700 years. We overcame the "arranged" marriage as of the American and French revolutions, the ban on contraception only 60 years ago, and it is time to stop the needless, useless, and worthless persecution of homosexuals. This is also one of the reasons for our controversies about evolution, for the Roman's knew well of how it worked and how to overcome it by controlling the breeding of living things, so they also had to hide knowledge of evolution to keep the serfs from knowing what was being done to them. They are still hiding evolution and persecuting homosexuals today because of their involvement in the profits of the capitalists of 1600 years ago, the Roman aristocracy. None of us can ever be comfortable in our freedom until all of us are free.-
Silly "gun control" laws
The debate about "gun control" seems to have no end nor common solution. The theocratic republicans bombard us continuously about the relationship between personal firearms and crime, and the more ignorant democrats bite that hook and go along with it. The theocratic republicans say we should "prevent crime" by all of us toting guns everywhere. This frightens their targets, the more meek democrats, into demanding an end to the right to own guns. Our forefathers, having just won their freedom from a 'divine rights' dictatorship and institutionalized slavery with guns that were necessary to provide food on the frontier, and kill heathen natives, well understood the relationship between tyrannical politics and an armed population. I pride myself in being a left wing 'extremist' and a big supporter of out constitution's Second Amendment, which without a doubt is the most important one after the First Amendment. I see no conflict between regulating guns and owning and keeping personal firearms or even munitions. We have the police to protect us from 'crime' The instances of any real cause-and-effect between criminals and gun toters is indeed rare. The population could be protected against both criminals and gun toters without trampling on our Second Amendment political rights. No law should ever say that we cannot own and keep firearms in our homes or place of residence. I have no quarrel with laws that say we can or cannot carry guns on our person, or in or car, but there should never be any law that says that if it becomes necessary to protect our freedom and democracy with gunpowder that we cannot go home, fetch our weapons, and start killing the tyrants that we cannot rid ourselves of by any other means. That was, and is, the meaning and purpose of our Second Amendment, it guarantees that we will never be helpless against the superior forces of dictatorship and slavery pushing demagogues. We all should be free from the fear of encountering a gun-toting person who is have a really intense 'bad hair' day and/or a criminal who uses a gun in his crime. It is silly that we can drive around with an AK-47 in plain sight in our car, but we argue endlessly about having a pistol in the car. Let us look at what our Second Amendment was designed to do for us, Our constitution is a political document. The Amendments are for our political protections. The Second Amendment is not for our personal protection, it is for protection of our political rights and freedom.
The republicans are succeeding
According to today's paper, one in seven home mortgage holders are in danger of defaulting within the next twelve months. This is not a product of any "bubble", this is a striking evidence that the theocratic republicans endeavors to heap great hurt on the average wage earner is succeeding. Over the past seven years, the fortunes of the average wage earner has reversed as costs of everything has risen and wage earners compensations have declined. Today, they retain enough influence in our government to prevent the majority democrats from reversing this trend that was set in place on inauguration day by George Bush. They fantasize that if the economy of the vast majority of our citizens, the 97% who must work for their daily bread can be destroyed, then democracy itself will be destroyed as all these destitute workers agree to entering slavery to the republican capitalists to survive. This is their blatant plan to undo the American revolution and re-create a rich aristocracy supported by human slavery that is controlled and managed for best profits by the christian religion. This is a vast mistake on their parts for history shows us that all of the schemes such as this that have moved towards success have ended in disaster for the conspirators, their deaths, as their victims rose up against them with weapons of death.
McCain is on the TV right now encouraging moves by our government that will kill more and more jobs in the USA, driving the average wage earner ever deeper into economic doom. The theocratic republicans have not given up on destroying Social Security, welfare, minimum wage, fair labor standards and all the other economic protections that our government has provided against the inbred tyrannies of the capitalist system that drives us continuously towards human slavery. He is attacking the democrat's efforts to fund the government's ability to provide and enforce the worker's economic protections. The republicans scheme to destroy democratic government and the protections it provides by denying it the funding that is necessary, so they promote the hatred of taxation at every opportunity. But when they cannot kill taxation entirely, they endeavor to spend all of the government's income on things that do not help protect the economy of the wage earners, denying the government the ability to provide these protections. The insane changes they made to Medicare that drove the costs of the system to the government upwards is a symptom of this scheme. Our government's only function is protection, protection against the natural slavery creating tendencies of capitalism and it's supporting religious scams. The theocratic republicans know well that this protection can be killed by simply preventing the government from having the financial means to deliver them, and when that happens, democratic government will also lose the means to protect itself, and the dictatorship and slavery demagogues will simply move in, unopposed.
We must never let them destroy the Second Amendment to our Constitution.
Political brouhaha
There is lots of brouhaha on TV and radio among the pundits and yak-meisters about the current hotly contested democratic presidenial race dividing and hurting the party. I would like to remind all of you negative scorched Earth campaigners who are giving so much comfort and encouragement and ideas to the republicans that both of our unusually competent candidates have pledged to give his/her full support to the other. If the democratic party appears to be divided, or dividing itself, that ends at the convention, and no matter who wins, we will go forward as a unified and determined party with a single goal, to reclaim control of our government and securd our democracy and freedom.
The surge is failing
The freedom loving nations of the world will not allow GWBOOB a 'victory' in Iraq, or to even extricate himself in a way that might enhance his reputation or to launch another crusade against another nation. GWBoob is a bottled up Nazi, and will stay that way until he is gone. The 'insurgents' who are keeping him pinned down in Iraq will never be allowed to run short or ammunition, munitions, or personnel so long as GWBoob has any political power in the USA. The most important thing in all of the world today is to prevent him from gaining more power and launching WW3. The democrats demand withdrawal, but the fact is that GWBoob cannot withdraw without it turning into his personal disaster.
TAXES
No one seems to be considering that the republicans party's efforts to destroy American democracy has a third hidden facet. Facet one is to prevent the democratic government from having the means to deliver the protections to the average man that it was designed to do by depriving it of the financial means to do so, their eternal drive to cut taxes. Facet two: cause the democratic government to go bankrupt by cutting taxes simultaneously with greatly increased spending. Facet three then becomes the destruction of the currency which is the economic support of the common working man, the substance that makes cash flow possible which is the real economy of wage earners. The real wealthy of this country count their wealth in possessions and property, not cash. Cash is the life blood of the consumer society, the society of the hated common man, the wage earner who toils to increase wealth of the rich. The wealthy see these should-be slaves as asking too much for their services, and see cash flow as the big prevention for returning these upstart workers to their proper status as servants of the rich, where the rich are the only 'consumers'. Therefore, to destroy this facet of society, the value of cash must be destroyed.
Just when are going to come to our senses and have another "storming of the Bastille" and rid ourselves of these republican tyrants and their schemes to live off of the toil and sweat of our wage earners.
The "race" in this 2008 race
I have said that we are in the midst of a black stampede into their very own "storming of the Bastille". This political contest is very much loaded with concerns of race, but not directly the fault of any of the candidates. It is a result of the reality of life in our so-called "free" society. I am white, Anglo Saxon, but I know very much how they must feel, the black people of our society, because we here in my own home county live in conditions of perpetual second class citizenship because right wing extedmists have seized and control our government and turned our county into a social and economic cesspool, depriving us all here of the rights and privileges that others in these United States of America enjoy every day without forethought. I guess that makes us some kind of "white niggers", we know how the black ones feel. Equality is a meaningless word here.
Revenge?
Foreign interests very much do have goals for American politics. After all, the right wing extremist republican party has European wealthy aristocracy as it's roots. We are largely responsible for the downfall of their political authority, and they want revenge.
