“I don't know why my original reply didn't get through but let me simplify this.
Jesus Christ didn't tell the 'masses' to 'get a job' if they were hungry He FED EVERYBODY!
Read HIS answer to salvation and its pretty simple, ' clothe, feed and shelter the least among you.'
Sounds like 'Socialism' to me!
The 'story' of Constintine's 'coversion' came from seeing a vision of a 'cross' in the sky beckons the REALITY that the POWER of the FIRST "Social-Populist- Movement' that the 'historica­lly-domina­nt-rule with an iron fist-monarchies' were threatened with, realized that these Christians, the 'rabble', were multiplying faster than they could be fed to lions and the 'primal-co­nservative­s-with the biggest swords' had better find a way to 'survive' the 'evolution' of POPULISM.
Suddenly, we have 'The Holy Roman Empire'.
And a Church that challenged Gallileo as to the 'shape' of the earth.
and BTW that same Catholic education exposed me to science and the understanding that God and Mother Nature makes each one of us unique all the way down to our fingerprints and any attempt to discuss our 'sexuality' as a one size fits all situation is ignorant.














The seeds that became the populists movements in governence.
The 'survival' of that 'conservatism' is the corruption the taints ORGANIZED Religions.”

“AGAIN, you conflate the 'heirarchy' with the 'grass-roots'.
The 'crowd control' with the 'Christianity'.
Not a 'populist' or 'community organizer'?
Those are the CORE of His teachings!
Some of the MOST corrupt LEADERS in history have been Popes but that doesn't diminish JC's message it indicts the INSTITUTION or more apropo the Christian Corporation.
Organized religion just spent 25 million dollars on 'anti-love' political campaigns which fed how many children?
The monarchies in religion are as corrupt as the monarchies in governence.
The Liberal solution is MORE involvement by the populice.
The conservative answer is Attilla the Hun or a Pope who 'covers up' child abuse.”

“Your over-simplification of Christians is telling.
My Progressive views were reinforced by my Catholic education. The Vatican's 'conservativism' was trumped by the 'Christ-like' Liberal-Socialism of the Priests, who were actually CHRISTIANS as opposed to the 'Iron-fisted' Biblists who used the Bible as 'crowd control' and JC as a 'weapon.
Progressive Socialism's 'roots' are in the Religious Communities because JC was a 'populist'.
The fact that the Religion with the BIGGEST sword won says more about the EVOLUTION of the 'Human Spirit' and the anti-evolution of the 'monarchies' that represented most countries AND Religions.
Human Evolution comes from the part of our brain that would actually 'turn the other cheek'.
Conservatism is a product of the 'reptilian' section of our brain. That's why it is 'conservative policy' to exploit the 'flight or fight' reaction of humans manifested by the hysterical reactions of 'tea baggers'.
Evolution is slow that's why it took 1500 years for American Liberalism to manifest itself in the Founders, who were children of the Enlightenment.”

“And if you want the conservative model go live in Iraq where 'privatization' was supposed to 'trump' the PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL Marshall Plan which transformed the 2 countries we defeated in WW2 to the 2nd and 3rd economic powers behind the U.S.A. at #1 within 2 decades. Iraq, where the Forbes' flat-tax was suppose to trump our PROGRESSIVE tax system.
IRAQ the Conservative Utopia!!
Of course we Americans, we've never taken anything and made it work with our American ingenuity and foresight.
Make that, American Conservatives have never taken anything and made it work for the American Middle Class, NEVER, EVER NEVER have and NEVER will becaus the conservative 'model' doesn't work well with an EDUCATED Middle Class.
Progressives have PROGRESSED this Country dragging the cons kicking and screaming the whole way!
The Progressive Liberal policies that created the American Middle Class are proven and the Dubai-based-cons know it....the lemmings have been 'hannitized'”

“History provides us with the Liberal and Conservative contrasts of Jesus, Ghandi, Mother Theresa. etc etc as the Liberal 'models' of the extreme.
The extreme Con gives us Attilla the Hun, Vlad the Impaler, etc etc.......­I'll stay on MY side, thanks!!
People who don't believe in evolution are INCAPABLE of it.
This video is the FACE of the Republican idiocracy.­.”

“How many Conservatives does it take to make ONE liberal?..­..........­..
One per ISSUE”

“THANK YOU GOD!
For giving me the BRAINS to be an American Liberal!!!!!
Liberals have the BRAIN capacity to analyze with the perspective of the 'victim' as well as the 'agressor'.
Want your 'local-con­servative-­District Attorney' to approach 'drug addiction' as a 'medical problem' rather than 'throw the key away' criminals?
When the 'criminal' is the son or daughter of the DA that DA suddenly gets a 'streak' of Liberal.
When somebody burns the American flag in protest Cons want to 'jail em', Liberals want to try to strive to CORRECT injustices if possible.
The teabaggers have become the 'rabble' the Conservative Founders were afraid of.
The PRODUCT of the 'starve the beast' republican strategy thats killing Public Education.
I AM SO THANKFUL I AM NOT ONE OF THESE DEGENERATE­S!!!!!!!!!­!”

“No, YOU missed the exit-polling that said your comment is not accurate.
These 2 governors' races FOLLOWED their history.
The GOP grasping at straws, is being 'punked' everytime it sticks its neck out.
The BLOVIATORS who shined a light on THIS race was banking on the Repub HISTORY of success and IT BLEW-UP IN THEIR FACE!
Get ready, because the 'no spin zone' is going to 'twist and shout'!!”

“If you are reading this and happen to be a Democratic elected official stopping by to see what all the 'hub-bub' is with this Grayson guy.
PAY ATTENTION
This MAN has tapped into the PULSE of the OLD SCHOOL Progressives that historically have manifested themselves in both parties as evidenced by Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower who promoted Progressive policies.
The People have been told to 'tone it down' after being screamed at by the 'hysterical-right' for decades demonizing the accomplishments of Progressives.
Rush Limbaugh yelling that, 'FDR was dead and Republicans were working to do the same to his NEW DEAL.' was a glimpse at the motive of the 'right', kill all FDR accomplishments - including the American Middle Class.
We have been told that we would have to SETTLE for Healthcare reform that protects profits while the 45,000 people that die every year from the status quo get diminished consideration.
Only ONE political-hero has come from this 'debate' and he is Rep Allan Grayson, a God-send!”

“With all due respect, sir, can we clone you?”

“Keeping the hamsters on their wheels and fighting over the scraps while blaming 'eachother' for the mess keeps the focus off the 'war-profiteers'.”

“I have been buying Time for 30 years and they can kiss my fair and balanced a$$ GOODBYE.”

“You and the Palins 'under-estimated' the oppostition and the 'ugly' that has become the 'fat-white-face' of the GOP.
Obama's poll number 'flutters' has NOTHING to do with GOP numbers going up. His #'s have gone down when he spends too much time listening' to the 'idiocracy' known as the GOP”

“Anarchy is your answer?
Let's get rid of the rules in Football,
Football with 'no-rules' would look alot like TODAY'S GOP.
A bunch of fools running around trying to 'find their balls'.”

“WHAT?
There's that lack of education AGAIN!”

“Mr Rose is RIGHT ON.
I graduated from HS in 1967. I grew up with the American Middle Class which peeked not long after my graduation and has been under attack from 'Big Business Cons' ever since.
If you were born in the 70's and after you have witnessed the struggle of the Middle Class.
When I was young the difference between a 'rich man' and a 'wage earner' was a Cadiilac and a Chevy.
Now the Greed Party has sucked US dry and is trying to blame US...go figure”

“The Anti-Social Party - 'rebranding' means 'admitting' their policies haven't worked.”

“You are right... when 50% of my retirement accounts disappeared in the last year, that 'wealth' wasn't 'lost', it was 'transferred' to the 'hedgefunders' who 'bet' against our economy...­the new world order headquartered in Du Bai.”

“When your 'base' BRAGS that they are 'dittoheads' or 'hannitized', being PROUD that they have allowed themselves to be BRAINWASHED, WE are talking 'Jonestown Syndrome'.­..you know, 'koolaid drinkers'.­..The Ottmeyer Studies after WW2, answered the question, 'if the manipulation of the 'conservative without conscience' could happen again.....­.Well. here we are again, to the point, the 'headdittohead' is the spokesman for the 'locksteppers'.
They don't 'debate' they 'frame'
When 'engaging' cons, simply ask..... Let's say they work for IBM...... So, con, if when you interviewed for your job you came in and said,' I , con, believe that the 9 most dangerous words are ' I'm from IBM and I am here to help! Do you think they would have hired you?......­You 'elected' that man to run the country!
30 years later, after a failed attempt at a ‘permanent majority’, using ‘big lie’ politics, to ‘protect the homeland’, a ‘descendent’ of Prescott Bush oversees the ‘draining’ of the treasuries of the richest country in the history of the world and anyone still defending it, is in need of rehab, if their income is less than 250k/yr.”

“So YOU are the INTELLIGENT guys that prevented our Country from becoming a 'torture state' or STOPPED the draining of our treasuries by the 'deregulation' vampires?
The 'rightwing' PROPAGANDA MACHINE has been SCREECHING
about LIBERALS for 25 years (that's why Hannity sounds like a 'chipmunk' and Rush lost his hearing)
but you SMART guys were nowhere to be found!
The LIBERAL principles that created the second and third world economic powers, after US at number 1, in Germany and Japan, after WW2.....WO­RKED!!”

“The Repubican party has NO INTEREST in bi-partisan ANYTHING!
You mis-interpret 'hate' and 'criticism' for 'frustration' and 'reality'.
Frustration with weak leadership that continues to be bullied by rightwing 'lockstep' whose motive is ONE THING- Killing the MIDDLE CLASS!
The words 'un-patriotic' and 'anti-American' and CHRISTIAN has been thrown around by the right, when, in REALITY, the Repubican Party has as much chance as a 'camel through the eye of a needle!'
UNREASONABLE- 'their' mantra is 'they hope he fails'
Let me hear you 'spin' that...
More 'lipstick on a pig'....pr­ofit=partr­iotism....­...wealth=­salvation.­....=trait­ors!”

“After decades of rightwing 'anti-teacher's union' propaganda, to put 'babyboomer teachers' and bankers in the same category?
'They let administrators and politician­s.....',
TEACHERS have been taking money out of their pockets to fill the gaps and have been the VICTIM of people like YOU and you think you could have done better?
AS A FUTURE teacher, your grammar is lacking and your condescending attitude is a joke.
When you COMPLETE your 'trailblazing' teaching career, let me know......­.until then, your ignorance of the pressures involved with being a teacher in this 'pea brained' NCLB era, tells me you have alot of 'stupity' to overcome before you could ever be a TEACHER, let alone, 'change the world'...”

“You mean like Cheney and the rest of the neo-coward­s.........­.is that you chuck?
appropo screen name”

“He sounded so 'prepared', I think he first gave this speech at his 'AA' group session and so impressed himself that God told him to take out the ' I'm 'W' and I'm a alcholic', part and 'go national'!
hey, maybe a screenplay­....

Seriously, I used to think I was watching a 'dry drunk' but its hard to argue with this”

“Welcome to ANOTHER movement!
Every time the OLD divide and conquer politics has reared its ugly head during this campaign Senator Obama has put it in its place.
Each 'event' produces a few more of the 'electorate' that GET IT! They understand there is only one way to cast off the cancer that has infected our politics.
Its called COLD TURKEY!
The Country has been 'strung out' on WWF politics ever since the republican party, on the brink of extinction, developed, on the 'edge' sometimes illegal, political tactics that the turned our politics into demonizing everything.
I'm almost 60 and this is the third time the party of torture has been on that brink and they are being exposed for what they are - corporate facists.
.......and if the mud is still flowing out of your mouth - YOU STILL DON'T GET IT!!”
