“I CAN only speak for myself.

If you can relate, so be it.

If you cannot, well skip on to the next comment.

It was a general statemen; nonetheless, the corporations rule and most people work for them. NO more mom and pop stores or manufacturing.

Corporations also run Congress. And they care not for unions. THey do not care to be regulated.

Most importantly, corporations are not individuals. THey are a collection of stockholders who are sometimes in the 1000s. SO if the corporation mucks up how do you deal with it? (I do not mean you, incase you should again take offense).

Corporate personhood should be repealed yesterday. Give us back the manufacturing base and our middle class.

I actually work for myself and teach.

Sorry to have offended you though. You're probably a nice guy.”

“We are all slaves to the corporations.”

“This is a bs article.

You know nothing.

No one knows what will happen, it is like reading fotune cookies.

It is not true and it only gives the republicans hope. Hope that is not there.

The teabaggers--what an absolutely perfect name for them--are a small band of dolts. Everyone knows that Republicans h@+E AMERICA.”

“He could buddy up over at C street with Ensign and Sanford.

WHat is wrong with this guy, Hume? What universe does he inhabit?”

“Brilliant commentary.”

“It is the policies of the freeking right wing teabaggers who have created the environment of haight in this country and for Americans abroad in general.

Get your facts straight.

Republican th>gs and Republican evangelicals are contemptible--your policies are those of endless war, although there was one recent Repub President who warned us about endless war and mercenaries.

Pay our soldiers, train our soldiers, give them the big bucks that mercs make.

You are out of control.”

“Love the juxaposition of natural selection and the creator.”

“broken link”

“Good for nothing!”

“I feel ya! I'm finished with both major parties myself. Obama has disappointed me over and over. I feel tricked!

We have a Green party mayor I campaigned for. THat is where my vote will go. Or for another third party. It is long past time for us to throw the bums out!

Save the Middle Class! They make the money and buy the products that keep the econ cycle moving. Bring back our jobs!

But throw out the old men in the senate--and the old ladies, including Snowe job, and her buddy Susan. I'm still pissed at Nancy for not impeaching Bush. Incredible that Repubs had the audacity-there's that word again-to impeach CLinton when he shilled for them every chance he got. But to leave BUsh standing while he lied to us every day is unconscionable.”

“You are correct, stoopid isnt the word--it is brilliant commentary and most Americans are unaware, or just brainwashed. Bush just conducted the largest transfer of wealth in human history and poor, dumb Republicans would still vote for him in a heartbeat.”

“Great response and support for UK's comment. Taliban subhumans are living in a tribal society; whereas, we live in a police state plutocracy. So our own Taliban, supported by Inhofe and Ensign and other frightening religious fanatics, cannot act out in the same degree. Stop the desecration of our Constitution and the wreckage of the middle class now!”

“They always say how irrelevant Republicans are . . . then spend the rest of the hour talking about them."...in an effort to educate the ignorant, religiofanatics that the AMerican sheeple have become.
I watch and love both Keith O and Rachel for they are (oh and Ed Schultz) they are the only ones speaking the truth. I love it when Keith gets on one of his tirades against the pathetic, arrogant swashbuckling Bushjr.

You see, Americans have given up on science, and built their scheme of how the world works on the literal interpretation of the Bible.

Then we have the pretend Republicans who are only interested in taking your money. They will do or say anything, no obstruction is too shameful for them.

I prefer Democracy Now to all of the major news joints, who are all in the pocket of General Electric, nee Haliburton, nee Murdoch. Or something close.

Republican elitists such as Barbara Bush, give Americans a bad name.”

“Do you have a spare room, JFC?”

“Bush cannot be compared to any other POTUS. He was absolutely the worst. And Bush was on vacation. And he got the memo. And he ignored it. Many think he did so on purpose. What do you thing Billy?

We will never get over the Bush/Cheney years. Never.”

“I'll do that right away. Sam--but I have no idea what you are really trying to say.
I campaigned for our mayor who is Green Party and he was elected. I am not a child--just trying to make a point.”

“Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It is truly that. And 30 years ago or so I did live communally. I learned much from that experience. My sister lived communally all her life and people took care of each other where she lived. I'm not saying communes are cr@p (and I do not like that word so apologize for using it) at all. That's what is sounded like though. I'm just sayin that that lifestyle has passed in the US. Didn't even think about the kibutz. We all need to think more about sharing that is for sure.”

“You ever read about the Green Party?
We have a Green Party mayor in our city. Hurray! I worked for his election campaign.

I am currently employed full time and buying a home where I live with my kind and intelligent husband.

What is this cr@p about communes?”

“I do not usually do so but I am fanning you for that comment.
You hit the nail on the head.
Especially the TV part. Can you imagine what would happen if all of a sudden the TV went poof?!”

“Jackrusselterrier is exactly right!

"The plutocrats donate to both sides of the aisle. They hedge their bets well. They donate the most money to those who have the political power. They have no loyalty to any team."

There is no USA anymore. It is team EXXON, team Walmart, team BofA.

These are teams, not nations. These are corporations who have no social responsibility and yet are given the sacred rights of PERSONHOOD. Thereafter, they cannot be charged as a group. The corporation is charged as a PERSON. And the one bad PERSON in the corporation (team/global corporation) does not suffer.

The corporation can rip off the consumer and suffers little. A slap, a million dollar fine that is chump change to them.

Get over the idea that we are a NATION. We are owned and ruled by corrupt cronies who control the corporations.

Gosh, I like that --corrupt cronies control corporations.
Sort of like my other saying for the month--cheap Christmas cr@p from China.”

“Exactly as Agenhippy says.

END CORPORATE PERSONHOOD.

DO IT NOW.

Then repeal Glass/Stegall and voila--we may have a fighting chance.”

“Alex is actually channeling Rove. Ignore him.”

“have always despised this woman. always. not to be trusted. lives with carville? yikes!”

“To Mum abnd Daffy,
I had not expected a response, especially several days later, Mum.

But, yes, I do think that it is a religious war.

And I still think religion is a scourge. You can definately point to a few altruistic folks, such as King, Ghandi, (Not Mother Theresa though) and find their good acts. I gotta give it to ya.

I am trying to think of those "few good athiests" mum and daffy but athiests have been forced into hiding until some brights actually forced it into the open most recently in well-received books--and that's a good thing. For millenia athiests have been forced to hide their true thoughts on the universe. This has been especially true in the American South. The Great Awakening of the 1990s caused several of my brothers in law to go into the seminary. What a joke!

We could discuss theology and philosophy all day long. My bottom line is that there are not ghosts or supernatural beings. And religion has caused more wars than it has prevented. And as far as the Christians and the Muslims at war in the middle east-- it is war for oil fought by the Western block (see how the US Air Force uses evangelical activity) versus the Eastern block (nuff said) in a struggle for scarce resources.

There are some good Christians, good hindiis and Bhuddists.
Athiests, pagans is a better term, do not need God to cause them to do good works.”

“blah blah blah and blah blah blah.

The point is that atheists are finally voicing their opinions in the open. Stating the obvious truth, that there is no personal god (Unless you created one from whole cloth in the nether region of your mind) has always been dangerous. ONe could be burned at the stake or put on the rack or shunned by the sunday school crowd. Always. until a few writers spoke up and stated the obvious. I do not agree with everything they say. I don't care so much about the details. The point is that there is no personal god listening to your pathetic prayers.

Meditation is good. That is a calming practice. And people are connected spiritually when they make music together. That is a beautiful thing. BTW, that is why there is music in every church you will ever attend.”
