Then you personally are speaking out to Obama supporters who continue to bash the Clinton's and Clinton supporters? Those Obama supporters who say WE don't need those 18 million Democrats money/votes/time who supported Hillary... Warning though... When I have commented on it, I have been called a Repuke, told to pout on the sidelines, even called a Mc Sane supporter, etc...
Nearly 1/2 of Democrats wanted Hillary... ( Note: I personally wanted Hillary the Washington Insider/ Fighter, faults and all, not slick talking Obama... The two Corrupt Branches of the Dominant Political party will still be intact... The very ones Obama has already caved to... That's why I personally wanted an Insider/ Fighter, not a "Change" talking person, for me to unwisely project my Hope onto... To me Obama's words do NOT match his behavior... ) *shrugs* My choice did not make it...

I would say our Office Holders are very competent at what they do and do NOT do.....

We the snoozing Government, actually believe ,putting someone new into the Office of President, is going to "Change" and fix that..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... snore... snore.....

WE can send a Candidate with the best of intentions back to Washington, BUT unless they cave and co-operate with their Corrupted Branch, no Bills, No Committees, no meaningful changes... Our Employees have passed Legislation to help make sure the two Branches continue to Dominate... As well, passed Legislation calling bribes, Campaign Contributions.... ALL Legal of Course... And the Wealthy, and Corporations continue to "Contribute" to undermining WE the Government, through our Employees...

WE have Power WE do NOT exercise... WE continue to keep the Corrupt, Dominant Political System, intact.... Remember the propaganda over the years about how good a "TWO PARTY' Political system is for us...

What amazes me is Obama Believers seem to think all those angry/hurt Clinton supporters will make a wise decision when voting... LIFE says hurt/angry people often make very bad decisions effecting all... The evidence of that in our Society is overwhelming, actually... Or, should be overwhelming...

Pope Benedict Warns Of The "Spiritual Desert" Spreading Throughout The World

From Amazon:
The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of Spirit: A Return to the Intelligence of the Heart (Hardcover)
by Joseph Chilton Pearce (Author)
From Publishers Weekly
Building on Darwin, Pearce pleads that humanity rise above its lower, instinctual "brain" to allow "our newest brain""the "fourth brain""to flourish. This will bring about a higher stage in evolution that prizes love and altruism. According to Pearce (The Biology of Transcendence), the biggest roadblocks to this new order are religion and science, which together promote violence and arrogance. These "two mongrels" of culture have long forced civilized people into a false either/or choice, one that Pearce characterizes as a choice "between being hanged or shot." For Pearce, the two disciplines have produced "a single monoculture sweeping the globe and bringing a mounting tide of irrational and ever more intense violence," and leaving us"and especially our children""spiritually starved." To overcome the terrible evils of science and religion and fulfill the promises of the fourth brain, we must cultivate what Pearce calls "the dynamic of the heart-brain-mind relationship," literally listening to our heart as a kind of brain itself that prioritizes love and intimate relationship above all else. Heavy on the science, Pearce's overall argument is slow going but worthwhile because of his fluid prose and intriguing understanding of human evolution.

Hillary Clinton Campaign Aides Buy HRC2012.com Domain Name

the964kid...

Nearly 1/2 of Democrats wanted Hillary... Somewhere around 17 million votes as I recall? (Note: I personally wanted Hillary the Washington Insider/ Fighter, faults and all, not slick talking Obama...

That's why I personally wanted an Insider/ Fighter, not a "Change" talking person, for me to unwisely project my Hope onto... To me Obama's words do NOT, have NOT, matched his behavior... )

Insulting Clinton supporters will NOT win the Election for Obama... What is so difficult for Obama supporters to get about that...
Many of us pointed out during the heated part of the Primary, insulting/bad mouthing, the Clinton's and their supporters, was appallingly ignorant... Ignoring, that Obama would need those votes and voters... Ignoring, as to what might feel good at the time, but what then of the long term???

Believers: Lots of people project their "Hopes of Change" and "THEIR BELIEFS" onto Obama, but an actual supporter would NOT slam/bad mouth/insult the Clinton's, or Clinton supporters, if they truly support Barack... It's like winning a battle and losing the Campaign...

What part of OBAMA NEEDS the Clinton (supporters, money and votes) do you NOT GET? (Something like 17 to 18 million people you are insulting)... Elect Mc Cain by insulting NEEDED Clinton supporters and former Barack supporters, is that YOUR personal Campaign Strategy? posted 07/19/2008 at 23:28:10

Beijing Begins Massive Shutdown To Curb Pollution Before Olympics

pfc1369....
I too was in China approximately 20 years back... I remember Beijing with massive bicycle traffic... Also a mixture of cars, buses, small trucks and those little two wheeled farm tractors with handles extending back to the little trailer, the farmer sat on to steer them.. (and occasional small horse and cart [rare that was though]) Even out in the Country, all drove with "parking lights" on, so as to not blind fellow drivers (took some trust Bus drivers knew how to drive so, safely)... Also, I recall the wonderful whistle/sound of steam locomotives...

A football field size parking lot, filled with tightly packed together, row after row of black and white heavy framed bicycles, of people coming to watch a regional soccer match... And lots of friendly Asian people who welcomed us...

For you who comment on one family, one child, from an American view of the World, I can tell you the ones we asked about the Policy clearly understood the need, even though they loved and desired children... Labeling them as "female baby killers" is like saying all Americans use abortion as birth control. Wrong and Wrong! posted 07/19/2008 at 21:56:42

Four Years Under The Influence: Netroots Nation Panel Examines The Growth Of The Political Internet

I do NOT care what "reasons" any of them give (gave) to "rationalize/justify" in their mind, or in the mind of WE the (Government) People, why they voted for this FISA, Or Immunity... They ALL swore an Oath to defend and protect the Constitution... In my Opinion they All, (Both Branches) failed to do so... I do NOT give a Damn about their reasons, or intent (good, bad, or otherwise)... FISA would have remained intact, with a total NO! vote on this FISA...

NOW, WE the (Government) People, have the vote in our hands... It's time WE the Government, removed these corrupted Office Holders from our Employment... Along with removing the corrupt, two Branches (Democrat and Republican) Dominant Political System from our Employment... These two Branches, have written and voted the rules of their corruption into Law...

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cries After Sparring With Whoopi Over N-Word (VIDEO)

Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

So begins a song that can bring tears into my eyes, even at age 67...
I suspect many sing the song, love the song, yet know Not its origins...
I suspect, is a song loved by many a person with black skin tones...
Written by John Newton, a former slaver...
http://www.texasfasola.org/biographies/johnnewton.html (Full story here)
What I love about this song, these words, is the Grace of self Love and (Forgiveness) For giving self Love... Allowing Love, Warmth and Light in, chasing away the darkness of the Soul... Allowing that Love, Warmth and Light within, to radiate out to those around us...
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!

The "N" word, no matter how it is spun or portrayed, will NEVER, IMHO, be a word of Love, Warmth, Light and Grace... WE do NOT need shackled to the "N" word, to achieve Love, Light, Warmth and Grace... And, I speak from a Spiritual, not from the Religious...
Used affectionately? I do NOT believe so, in a true, deep, heartfelt way... More to actually keep the heart at a "safe" distance...
Knowing the Story of Amazing Grace, adds Heart, to the Power and Beauty of the Song for me... posted 07/18/2008 at 21:18:00
dasimms... QUOTE: "you can by accident overhear conversations by whites marveling at the fact that you can speak standard English"
Wonder why they would think that??? Perhaps we "Whites" should check our ebonics encyclopedia? Maybe we might find a clue? Couldn't come from a group of people Self Segregating by skin color, could it? Having black skin does not compel one to speak ebonics, or dictate any certain beliefs or behaviors! Same is true of white skin tones...
Being mostly Caucasian (I'm English, Irish, Dutch, Welsh, German, French and Cherokee...) I guess I was to busy trying to survive to read the "press" that said I was superior... Clearly "Black" people must be the "superior race" because we "White" people are all so racist and flawed...

I find it interesting that, QUOTE: that "White" people "feel qualified to tell a black person how to feel or how to talk, when she (they) has no idea and can't begin to understand the experience of being black in America." The one way street effect??? Otherwise, "Blacks" equally have NO experience in being "White" and are NOT qualified to tell a "White" person how to think, feel, or behave? posted 07/18/2008 at 11:16:28
Hey! Didn't you know the "N" word is so innocuous: 1 : producing no injury : harmless 2 : not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility : inoffensive, insipid, that it went from Jesse Jackson's mind/mouth, to the View, to Huff Post and to many other blogging sites...

Guess this ought to OK a much more widespread use of the word and perhaps the Censorship of it's use will stop... I have argued from early on the double standard is a mistake, but seems enough "Black" people argue it is OK to use... I agree with those (including many with black skin tones) that we would do ALL a favor and just get rid of the "N" word...

The Endless Potential of the Labor Movement and a Strong President to Revive America's Economy and Its Middle Class

Ironic we are the "United" States of America, but there is seemingly also a wide spread dislike of "Unions" by many...
40 Hr work week, Pensions, Health Insurance, Job Safety, Overtime pay, Vacations, and much more a results of Unions, that non Union workers now take for granted and enjoy...
Sadly, when President Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers, WE the People (Government) with co-operation of Unions, did not shut down the Country, until our Elected Office Holder put them back to work and negotiated with them... Seems to me we're experiencing the "trickle down" fallout from that...
Corporate wealth purchases (snicker) influence with the two Branches of the Dominant, Democrat and Republican, Corrupt Political System... Break Unions, run the Corporation into the ground, while making millions and now can File Bankruptcy (of Management) and dump their half of Collective Bargained for Pensions, etc... And, often get paid millions of dollars for Managing so badly, but success in shafting the workers...
The most difficult concept with "Unions" seems to be even Union workers seem to think, the business Agents and Shop Stewards are "the Union"... (Therein giving up their [workers] true power)... WE the People of the (Union) I.E., the United States of America are the true power and Government, but most Citizens call our Elected and Appointed Office Holders, "the government'...

So speaking against the Obama's and where they came from, makes the speaker a Racist and a Brown Shirt?

I re-read to make sure, but NOTHING was said about either Obama's, Race, or Color!

So, richsmith, Dr of Spin, like the Obama's have done, you too bring in Race/Color where NONE is, except in your mind evidently... posted 07/17/2008 at 00:04:04

Obama's Multi-Million Dollar Question: What About The Hillraiser Holdouts?

You might do your homework before you open your mouth and offer "sage" advice... At age 67, (June 11) I may have voted many more times then you have...

To win, to beat Mc Cain, Obama needs those voters... Many of us pointed out during the heated part of the Primary, insulting/bad mouthing, the Clinton's and their supporters, was appallingly ignorant... Ignore-ant that Obama would need those votes and voters... Ignore-ant as to what might feel good at the time, but what then of the long term???
Example: Obama successfully has played to race and successfully (at least 3 times) played the Race/Color Card against the Clinton's with the assistance of his supporters and believers, when NO THING was actually said about Race, or Color... Any surprise that Race/Color Card played would have a cost to him??? A temporary (benefit) win the Nomination, but what of the Election?
I purposely did the oooops and changed supporters to Believers, because lots of people project their Hopes of Change and Beliefs onto Obama, but a supporter would NOT slam/bad mouth/insult the Clinton's, or Clinton supporters, if they truly support Barack... It's like winning a battle and losing the Campaign...

I have pondered deeply on what makes a "Black" PERSON...
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" MLK Jr...
"Black" people celebrating MLK Day is hypocritical, IMHO... MLK's "I have a Dream" is incongruous with "Black" PEOPLE...
Incongruous: : lacking congruity: as a: not harmonious : incompatible b: not conforming : disagreeing c: inconsistent within itself d: lacking propriety
Fear of being called racist allows a group of people with black skin tones to SELF SEGREGATE as "Black" people, and NOT have that challenged by PEOPLE of ALL skin tones??
Is their Spirit "Black", or just their skin tones??? We are Spirit creating an embodiment... My body is my vehicle... My car is a vehicle... They are different colors... I am NOT the color of either of my vehicles...

A Native African does NOT think, speak, or behave like an American "Black" Self Segregator...

Yikes! Controversial New Yorker Cover Shows Muslim, Flag-Burning, Osama-Loving, Fist-Bumping Obama

Many call them self (and truly BELIEVE) they're Obama supporters... I would tend to disagree... Especially reading the comments...
Barack, in his book writing said: "I serve as a blank screen," Obama writes, "on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views." He notifies readers that "my treatment of the issues is often partial and incomplete." It takes some doing for a politician to write a 364-page book, his second volume, and skate past all controversy...
"There's not a liberal America and a conservative America, there is the United States of America." (Gets wild applause)
"We've got a series of very important decisions to make, and we have the opportunity to make them, not as Democrats, not as Republicans, but as Americans. And it's that promise that I'm most excited about." (More applause)
"This isn't about me. This is about you."
NO, this truly IS about YOU, Barack... YOU have one GOAL in mind, in focus... Getting YOU elected!
People project onto the Obama's what they BELIEVE about them, HOPE to get from them...Barack speaks as a Washington outsider, yet BEHAVES, uses the tactics, of an seasoned INSIDER... I agree with Barack... He is NOT Flip/Flopping, Changing, Centering, or going Left, or Right... (Other than from Peoples Beliefs about him)...
I suspect Barack's (FISA) vote caused many people to more CLEARLY SEE BARACK, not their Beliefs about Him...

Obama was born August 4, 1961, at Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a White American from Wichita, Kansas. His parents met while both were attending University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a FOREIGN student. They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.

Reverse-racism??? HUH? Who has Segregated people into a Label of "BLACK" if it is NOT Self Segregation???
Do you get what MLK Jr's actual "I have a Dream" is, or just pay lip service? How does a whole Self Segregating/Designating group(?) class(?) of people identify them self as a skin color and fulfill MLK's "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character... "???
If not skin color, what makes a "Black" person? (Person "Black"?) Remember the question, is Obama "Black" enough? Or, the First "Black" president? Does a British Citizen with black skin speak, behave, think, like an American "Black" person? When do "they" get to be just people? Can their children grow up to be just people... Ever met someone with black skin who can't adapt well to fitting in as an American "Black" person? I have... Can be very upsetting to them...
Please name me any other group, who identifies them self by skin color... Maybe "White" Supremesist(?) but then if ok for "Black", then OK for "White"?

Usually that had never occurred to them, that I can tell you...
What can you learn about working and Life, you can bring home to your child each day? What do you notice new about your child each day? Love her with consistent discipline... (Not sometimes ok because of guilt and sometimes not ok)

Sorry Martin, but the Obama's played to Race/Color, and also successfully played the Race/Color Card against the Clinton's, when NO mention of Race, or Color, was made... Barack is an example of a Political manipulator, not the fulfillment of your Dream... How can Segregation end, when a whole group chooses to Self Segregates by skin color, and raise their children as such? Worse yet, use Self Segregation as a historic excuse for their behavior, and a blame for others behavior... Like Spike Lee telling Eastwood, we're NOT on the Plantation now... Spike was not raised as a slave, or on a Plantation... I read a disgusting to me article on a child with black skin, raised by Loving Parents with white skin, who then complained he did not know how to be "Black" till his mid 20's... You were raised as a Human, Geeesh posted 07/11/2008 at 08:41:11
A $1.9 million dollar book deal and poor working michelle can't stay home. yeah right... Geeeeze I bet she struggles everyday with her guilt and need to work to just keep them afloat... posted 07/11/2008 at 03:00:30

Part 2
In Fact, Michelle is a person with black skin... We ALL differ in skin tones... She made a choice, conscious, or not, to believe she is a "Black" person...They also made a choice to birth two children... Barack got a 1.9 Million Dollar Book deal... They chose to spend the money on a Mansion for 1.65 million, rather than Michelle staying at home to devote time to the two children.. CHOICE... Not right, not wrong, but choice... Any "guilt" on her part did NOT alter the choice...Barack chose running for President, rather than time with their children... Again choice! Please don't pretend to be struggling Parents trying to survive...
It is not Michelle's "guilt" that concerns me... Rather her apparent choice of living as a "Black" Person... And also, her apparent anger/hostility about people she categorizes as "White" People, does concern me... I don't care what color their skin is, or isn't... I do care about that as a part of a core Belief... I do care about unresolved "Racial" anger in a First Lady...
I also do NOT want a "Black" President, or "Black" First lady, as if I agree with that belief choice in Self Segregation, or as a Role Model affirming that Belief in Self Segregation, by part of our Society...... Nor the able-ness to use that "Black"-ness to manipulate others ( as has been done)... posted 07/11/2008 at 02:31:21

Yeah, those common women who stay home and raise children... Dull... Un stimulated... Low intellect...

AhhhHH, Grasshopper: Your Fear reveals you... You Fear, you NOT being bright enough to stimulate your mind and educate you, while raising a child... Me thinks you are not alone in the Elite-ness of your Fear...
Do you soothe your consciousness, by believing you are so far above those lower caste dedicated Mothers??? Obviously your Guilt/Fear brings you to project it is a choice, of one, or the other...

Arlington Cemetery Trying To Impose New Restrictions On Funerals Of Iraq War Dead

RobertoGardner

WOW... You seemingly are going to insist on insulting your own intelligence quotient... Or, lack thereof... You are projecting your beliefs, and the Bias therein, out on Men and Women, who have Consciously chosen to put their Life on the Line, for the Nation they believe in... They are assigned to do the tasks they do by Elected Office Holders who work for WE the People (WE the Government)...
When WE keep two Branches of a Corrupt Political Party in Office, in Control, who Invaded and Occupy another Nation, are NOT you ultimately blaming YOUR victims? Can you find the courage within to stand up and examine the corruptness of your own Beliefs? Who was the Decider in this Invasion/Occupation??? The President, or the troops carrying out his orders in a horribly miscalculated (I hope not intentional miscalculation, but am NOT convinced), mismanaged Invasion/Occupation being spun as a War? posted 07/10/2008 at 13:44:28

RobertoGardner... QUOTE: "they are (or were) terrorist invaders, abusers, rapers, pillagers, killers, and occupiers of a country that never was a threat and never attacked ANYONE."
Your ignorance is NOT surprising... They are courageous people, many of them young, who consciously chose to put their Life on the Line for their Nation... Put the responsibility and Control where it belongs... Last, is a Corrupt Administration... Next in a Corrupt Dominant Political Party with two Branches (Democrat & Republican) clearly "influenced" by Corporations.... PRIME response-ability, is WE the People, the Constitutional Government, who have allowed this Corrupt Political System to exist... WE the People, shirking our Duty as the Government... This latest betrayal by our Office Holders (Elected Employees) is a prime example... Blaming is the refuge of the ignorant...

Those who serve their Nation with courage, died... Those cowards, like GW Bush, who joined the National Guard for Political purpose, have NEVER served their Nation.. Just their own EGO...
This never was about a discreet press interfering, or disturbing a Funeral... This has always been about censorship and control...
More likely, the Press "interferes" when Control Freaks attempt to keep them away... I really have NOT seen reports coming from Families, of the Press rudely interfering...
Placing the Press far enough away to not be in hearing range, or decent camera shot is about CONTROL, not respect... posted 07/10/2008 at 10:39:27

Jewish Dem Ire Boils Over On Lieberman

KIND???? QUOTE (from Yesterday FISA) "but BO had to do it to get elected. So much for change we can believe in. Will I still vote for him? Yes." (another said) "She, Hillary, set a FISA trap. He had no choice but to vote for it, and for once she voted to the left, to make him look even worse."
Thank you both for confirming mindless, spineless Obama, with no free will of his own, had to vote opposite Hillary, even though he had already done a 1frakkin80 and changed his position over to supporting the criminal Telecom's and Office Holders... I feel even better now, that I will not vote for the mindless, flip total FLOP, wimp...
Go ahead vote for him... He puts Ego and winning ahead of his Country...
Cowards may swear an Oath to defend and Protect the Constitution, but their Behavior speaks the truth...
Hillary's vote (cosponsored ammendment) to strip immunity from the Bill did count.... Her vote against the FISA counted... Give honest credit where due...
And what cave should spineless, Oath breaking Obama, slither off to? Give honest credit where due... Do Political snakes and cowards have ribs to stick a spear in? (This is my less than kind, LOL) posted 07/10/2008 at 15:24:06
And WE would blame Israel,....... why? And, Obama, who did not have the spine (Being Kind) to act on his Oath of Office and Defend and Protect the Constitution, is to be our great savior? What Movie are we speaking of again? Let me understand this.. The Bush/Cheney Administration is about to go out of business, so the Israelis will risk ALL to please Bush/Cheney?

Would that were so... Many are still attempting to rationalize their Hope of Change, they Belief projected onto Obama... His behavior is undermining many person's Beliefs about him...
