32013/Progressivism, the warped philosophy

32013/America today has nothing to do with liberal or conservative. You
simply cannot see the problem. That is the problem. If you could see the
problem like Europe does I should think you would have it fixed by
now-Progressivism, (noun), the warped philosophy that people are helped
more by tearing down the strong than building up the weak, effectively
reducing everyone to the lowest common denominator- liberalism is not
known for its logical consistency. often times self contradictory and
hypocritical as it is emotional in nature rather than rational- Always
better to be driven by the almighty corporate dollar, no doubt. Who needs
emotion when you have "rational" kooks like Nugent and Rush Blimpbaugh to
look up to?- EVERYBODY call in sick tomorrow, then watch real change
begin. Hit the corporate fat cats directly in the pocketbook- Notice that
every comparison made reveals the insane and ludicrous actions-policies
of liberals to the common sense actions policies of we Conservatives.
Someone said that with the most radical leftist presiding in the WHITE
HOUSE today, that America is heading leftward down the treacherous road

they're preparing to take on you Fifth Column traitors who raped America-
AP report regurgitated claims by the federal agency that 1.6m bullets
were bought in bulk to save money and were for training purposes only, as
former Marine Richard Mason infowars, hollow point bullets (which make up
the majority of the DHS purchases) are not used for training because they
are more expensive than standard firing range rounds-rbg/New Jersey
police and Dept. of Children and Families officials raided the home and
demanded to see his guns after he posted a Facebook photo of his
11-year-old son holding a rifle. "Someone called family services about
the photo," Shawn Moore certified firearms instructor for the NRA:. "It
led to an incredible, heavy-handed raid on his house. They wanted to see
his gun safe, his guns and search his house. They even threatened to take
his kids."Dept could not confirm or deny an investigation or raid had
taken place due to government regulations Moore was not arrested or
charged-pb/Netanyahu's last visit to the White House he sure wasn't
treated like a "best friend-Obumer is no friend to you trust nothing this
deceiver says to you-Israel hates him and ALL BLACKS, they are EVICTING
BLACK AFRICANS and practicing ethnic cleansing on the black jews. Obama
should have continued to ignore them-where is the proof?-a natural
occurring virus, regarding the name. Conspiracy of morons-They brought in
all these Sudanese from Africa that were considered Jewish, but since the
southern part of Sudan has become it's own country from the Northern pure
muslim part, the Israeli government has begun to tell them to go home
now. Legislation is pending to forcefully remove them back to their
lands-Sanctuary given to Sudanese was not part of the Jewish right of
return, it was temporary compassionate shelter. Yes, they are going back
to Sudan, with their health and hunger taken care of, job training and a
grubstake. Much more than Israel is obligated to do. The ingathering of
Jews from Yemen and Ethopia is a different matter entirely; they are Jews
coming home-HIV LAB MADE, The virus naturally occurs in some primates,
also been found in swine. Once it began to spread to towns and cities, it
became an epidemic. Their was No CIA conspiracy to develop the HIV virus
as a weapon or any other purpose-nothing natural about HIV, a virus that
didnt exist 50 years ago-he's a liar pos-Israel needs more space for
its new baby boomers and anyone not Jewish is a target for housing
takeover. That's what aparthied states do-Please name me one new
"settlement" that has been built in the past 10 years! There are none.
You are a victim of the disinformation of the leftist media, the
Palestinian Authority (PA) openly teaches hatred of Israel and Jews in
their schools (where Israel does not appear in any schoolbook map of the
area) and government media. I guess only the Israelis are worthy or
criticism in your eyes-millions of people believe him, it seem like you
would know that after he was re-elected. IF PEOPLE LISTENED TO BUSH THEN
THEY SURELY CAN LISTEN TO OBAMA!-the jews are too smart for him-doesn't
mean that the president gets to do everything he wants to do. I really
like George W. Bush but i didn't agree with everything that he did, and
indicated so. Also, George W. Bush did a lot of growing up in his life,
all Barack Obama seems to do is lie, lie, and conspire to do more lying.
Being the President of the United States is a lot more than continuous
campaigning and telling lies. It is about carrying out the legal wishes
of the people of the United States-Amazing what inexperience combined
with ignorance, cunning, & arrogance creates-only in your fabricated
Republican world-you overlooked that fact that Obama was elected by a
majority in the USA and you just can't get over it. No small win either.
He got 5 million more votes than the loser. The only one who is ignorant
is you-Entitlement voters,illegal voters & muslim lovers must be the
majority. Sure am glad I am not that majority-yet our American masses
continue to blindly follow him as he strokes the mindless...straight into
the abyss-I voted for Obama. Twice. In the same election. And I'm not
even a citizen-wonder if B.B. left obama cooling his heels in a waiting
room while he had dinner with his family, the way obama did that to him-
hoping he would go to Israel's security fence and say "Mr. Netanyahu,
tear down this wall-openly campaigend for Mitt, This meddling by a
foreign leader in our internal politics can hardly be expected to gain
him any favors with the person against whom he campaigned-why are you
idiots so comfortable with our leaders taking orders from israel?-Not
proud of sending Barry anywhere as this two bit hack of a Socialist is
about done as America is getting SICK of him and his FAILED

31913/while breaking up the ‘too big to fail’ banks is highly unlikely
anytime soon, it’s now plausible we could see more serious consideration
to a combination of the following: Reinstatement of Glass-Steagall, which
separated commercial and investment banking and or full adaptation of
the so-called Volcker Rule, which bans banks from trading their own
accounts, i.e. “prop trading.” Requirements to list derivative
transactions on an exchange, if not actually regulate the trading
thereof. Higher reserve requirements and or lower maximum leverage
ratios- perhaps Cyprus is just a test case to see how far the banks can
go before people revolt. It might explain why the Dept. of Homeland
Security is preparing for major domestic unrest-parasites will never be
happy with their incredible easy lifestyles on the backs of the taxpayers
so they will continue to vote to confiscate the non government workers
hard earned income, possessions, savings accounts and anything of value.
The corrupt, greedy appetites of the Democrats will never be quenched-  
What's 'terribly wrong' is that none of these banksters are in jail or
hanging at the end of a rope-The ruling class doesn't go to jail, only
the peons-This time they go under and your savings go with them no
bailout-no one in the investment banking industry or government was held
accountable for the largest criminal bank theft in US history-elected
"leaders" are a joke. The banks pay them off with bailouts from the
taxpayers-criminal organizations. Pitch forks and torches. Once a few of
the CEOs are found hanging from lamp posts they will get the message-
Glass-Steagall was overturned by Bill Clinton (under the urging of Sen.
Byrd-Actually Republican Senator Phil Gramm, McCain's 2008 economic
adviser WROTE THE BILL-Graham started out as a Democrat before turning
colors for self benefit. A true wolf in sheep's clothing-had Glass
Steagall been in place, Bank of America would have been prevented from
taking Merrill and Bear Sterns could not have been taken over by Chase- 
the whole world is upside down. Why?..The middleclass didn't ruin it,
Must be bankers, Wall Street and politicians-Fines with no admission of
guilt. Such a sham the SEC allows-the New Reality. Did you learn nothing
from TARP? Americans were overwhelmingly against it, but that didn't
matter. The ruling class needed to be saved no matter what the cost!- The
Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLB), also known as the Financial Services
Modernization Act of 1999 to dissolve glass steagall? yn/Tipping point
with Israel is iminent Buoyed by confidence the chosen will get more
aggressive with their demands and blow the whole deal-We must raise the
retirement age to 72 in the USA so we can continue to dump trillions into
the Middle east cesspool. 1000 US military bases in 148 countries and
ever increasing foreign aid is something all virtuous americans must
support. Opposing raising the retirement age is anti semitic-WS HEBREWS
WON'T LET THEM GO DOWN-Obama pressured to release Pollard-Goldman
mortgage appeal rejected by Supreme Court-ygs/rich people are FREAKING
OUT that a country would DARE to charge their deposits to balance the
books. In the US, for example, there are about $140Tn The majority of
that money, $60Tn, is held by "The Financial Sector", ie, exactly the
kind of people who might get 10% of their money "confiscated" if the
government ever decides it would be a fun way to quickly pay down half
its debts of total Financial Assets in the US and, of all that, only $4Tn
of that is insured (under the FDIC limit) and the rest is held by "rich
people," who have so much money they can't even be bothered to open
separate accounts to keep the money insured or it's at play in the
markets, etc. Even with the Supreme Court granting citizenship to
immortal Corporations (and I created 2 dozen corporations since then and
they're all voting Democrat, you rat bastards!), that bottom 80% is 80M
families with about 160M voters, voters who have, relatively, NOTHING
compared to their masters in the top 10%. When given the choice between
having what little they do have left being slashed away through ruthless
austerity programs or just voting to take it back from the rich guys,
what do you think is going to happen? 88% national income growth went to
corporate profits, while 1$% went to wages between 2009*11  sa/ Ten Years

31813/Euro Crisis Is Nowhere Near Being Over, At the insistence of both
the E.U. and the IMF, Cyprus would only receive a bailout if as much as
$6 billion of the money could be recouped from bank depositors. That
solution was aimed primarily at the Russians, (rightwingnutz) and other
wealthy depositors, with more than $130,000 in their accounts. But under
the terms of the agreement finalized on Friday night, all depositors will
take a hit. A one-time levy of 9.9% will be charged on deposits over
$130,000, and accounts with less will be charged 6.75%-watchdog European

freedom and stand against religious zealots. Corporations are NOT people

happens when people are consumed with revenge fantasies instead of a
genuine desire for peace and harmony. Progressivism - (noun) - the warped
philosophy that people are helped more by tearing down the strong than
building up the weak, effectively reducing everyone to the lowest common
denominator "If they could get the middle class, along with the poor, to
envy the rich, they could control the largest voting bloc and seize all
the power they'd need. Saul Alinsky-jama hasn't caused more racism... he
just brought the racists out of their caves, as you can clearly see from
this forum. Friends don't let friends vote Republican-Conservatives see
liberals as being the race baiters. I see 70+ years of liberal policy
keeping the blacks shackled to a dependent/entitlement lifestyle to big
government as being a far more racist sign than any small time quips or
quotes from the fine people here at this forum. Peaceful segregation of
the races would prevent any and all racism from ever taking affect.

31413/kills me not to be in the Whitehouse

/31413/It kills me not to be in the Whitehouse~Mitt/Clinical Dilemma: Recommending Pot To Patients : NPR
TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan, in Washington. In 18 states and
the District of Columbia, marijuana is medicine by popular vote. A lot of
doctors don't see it that way. They say pot presents problems that
include potency, efficacy, corruption, and of course it's still illegal
under federal law. imho, doctors are human like anyone else, and if they
are hardwired to feel marijuana is illegal or not " good", they will be
reluctant to order it-You can't prescribe marijuana anywhere. Doctors
recommend it. It's not a medicine that you can prescribe anywhere. So the
issue is recommendation. And what we're talking about with Dr. Bostwick
is a thoughtful consideration of a physician who's got an ongoing
relationship with a patient when the patient's got a lot of problems
after having tried a lot of other medications. That's not what medical
marijuana is about in this country. Ninety percent-plus of the marijuana
recommendations are sold by doctors who virtually the only thing they're
doing is putting out those recommendations. CONAN: And is too fine a
point to call that corruption? DUPONT: It's a kind of de facto
legalization-when you get the certificate, you go to a dispensary, and
you pick out how much you want, of which thing, and it's a discussion
that bears no relationship to medicine anywhere in the country. That's
what medical marijuana is as it's going on in the country today. CONAN:
But Dr. Bostwick, yes, there is that, and that's hard to deny, and when
you see signs, neon signs, it's a little difficult to equate that with
medicine, yet there are oncology patients and others who benefit from
marijuana. BOSTWICK: Well, one of the challenges here is that marijuana
has been used medicinally for 5,000 years, and including in the U.S. for
100 years legally. And the illegal, the Schedule One designation of
marijuana, which made it illegal, was actually a political decision as
well, not supported by science, because the science hadn't yet been done.
CONAN: Schedule One, of course, is federal law, but go ahead. BOSTWICK:
Right, federal law, but the effect of being a Schedule One drug is that
it's very difficult to do research on that drug, there's enough
literature, much of it anecdotal, to support that marijuana is not
completely without any kind of benefit. That being said, Dr. DuPont's
description of particularly the situation in Colorado is very accurate
and quite crazy. (LAUGHTER) DUPONT: You were talking about the history
about this, and let me just add to that, marijuana was used historically,
but by the 1930s it was virtually abandoned. It was still legally
prescribable, but nobody prescribed it. It had vanished from any kind of
use at all. So by the time the Controlled Substances Act came in 1970,
this medical use was ancient history, I think the point is that look at
what's happened to morphine. Morphine came from opium when it was
purified. And it wasn't only that morphine became used as a purified
chemical, but the synthetic analogs were developed. That is exactly the
future of cannabis. And the reason it's so interesting is I'm in favor of
that, and the people who are supporting medical marijuana are against it
because all they want is smoke dope, Marijuana has been researched by the
National Institute of Drug Abuse for nearly 40 years. And there's plenty
of research going on about that. The issue really has to do with how do
you - when you're doing the research, how do you justify studying a plant
as opposed to studying the specific chemicals. I think that's a very
difficult problem. But it is possible to do it, and the National
Institute of Drug Abuse, in that 40 years, has produced marijuana to give
to researchers so they can do studies of marijuana, this is an end-run
around that that is very dangerous, not just for the marijuana, but for
the precedent it sets for other drugs. CONAN: So given that, would you
say a recommendation of marijuana in any circumstance is malpractice?
DUPONT: No. I think the physician is dealing with - and Dr. Bostwick
presents it in a very good way. There's a different issue about what
happens with a physician talking to a patient when he's got a
relationship and is doing everything possible he or she can do to help
that patient, What happens between a doctor and the patient, that's an
entirely separate thing and a sacred thing, as far as I'm concerned,
around the issue of working with that patient-.have to wait till the next
generation of doctors- BOSTWICK: The Sativex that's currently in phase
three trials actually contains ratio of TCH to CBD, and there are
variable ratios with several different preparations of it. So yes, that
makes total sense. And certainly we know that drug dealers going only for
a high will try to get rid of the CBD. So I'm not disagreeing with that
at all. But I am saying that in the absence of these compounds that we're
talking about, theoretically, patients do titrate the medication to
effect.-PAUL: Yes. I'm a cannabis expert and a physician here in Denver,
and I take issue with the gentleman who talks about pot pushers and
things like that, because I have evaluated patients in the past,
thousands, and they are basically desperate. Eighty to 90 percent of
these people have been in pain and have been given multiple pain
medicines, and 25 percent were addicted. And you have to look at the
patient, as a whole, who's coming in and saying, OK. I don't have the
psychological problems, but I'm trying to deal with my pain, and I'm
trying to deal with sleep, et cetera, et cetera. And this works for me,
and they're grateful to be able to get the recommendation. Now, do all
the people - are some of the people using it for recreation? Of course
they are. But in the big scheme of things, there's never been a reported
death from cannabis use, as opposed to, what, 200,000 deaths from
prescription medicine and 20,000 deaths from opiates? frankly, if they
order dilaudid and oxycontin, grass should be mousenuts to them- it
should be governed by the same laws as alcohol, and ...as for side
effects... name one med that does not have any.-duh, pot-Related NPR

The Shame of Israel Apartheid Week The blood libel seems to have gained
respectability in the halls of academia now that Israel Apartheid Week
has become an annual rite on college campuses across North America.
Characterized by hate-speech promoted as political discourse, Israel
Apartheid Week proclaims its goal is to educate people about the nature
of Israel as an apartheid system and to build Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions (BDS) campaigns as part of a growing global BDS movement, Its
architects contend they are not antisemitic.  However, Israel is not an
apartheid state under any definition of the term, and to argue otherwise
requires the repetition of odious lies and the denial of historical
facts. Because the claim of Israeli apartheid is a malicious fiction, the
antisemitic motivations underlying Israel Apartheid Week cannot be
minimized or ignored  By Matthew M. Hausman- On questioning the Jewish
state  What does the right of self determination mean if not the right to
be what you want to be. One peoples right to self determination negates
the right of others in the same space. The right of self determination is
not predicated on whether you will be democratic. The right of self
determination on one level is the right to discriminate. If Israel is
denied the right to favour Jews in immigration or to refuse political
rights to others in its midst, it is denied the right of self
determination. See also this rebuttal by Fresno Zionism titled A Jewish
State Can be Democratic and Moral. But I would like to make the point
that it can be undemocratic and (im)moral. Ted Belman-Defenders of
Israeli policies routinely accuse Israelรข€™s critics of denying her right
to exist, while the critics (outside of a small group on the left, where
I now find myself) bend over backward to insist that, despite their
criticisms, of course they affirm it. The general mainstream consensus
seems to be that to deny Israels right to exist is a clear indication
of anti-Semitism (a charge Jews like myself are not immune to), and
therefore not an option for people of conscience joelavene, IsraPundit/

liberty and equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views, generally
they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom
of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property.
Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the Age of
Enlightenment, Liberalism rejected the notions, common at the
time, of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the
Divine Right of Kings-a cabal of anarchists-96 billion in corp welfare?-

31113/Will the next pope embrace liberation theology? The conventional
answer would be: fat chance. The chances that a true radical will be
selected as Pope are next to nil. That’s because none are in the running.
all the eligible cardinals were appointed to their positions either by
Pope Benedict XVI or by Pope John Paul II. Both men vigilantly stacked
the deck with cardinals whose views range, in the words of one religion
professor, from conservative to ultraconservative. Liberal theologian
Hans Kรผng gives a harsh assessment  “They are partly responsible for the
stagnation that stifles every attempt at modernization of the church
system/John Paul II condemned “the resurgence of a certain capitalist
neoliberalism which subordinates the human person to blind market
forces-God’s Rottweiler,” leading the effort to silence creative and
non-conformist voices within Catholicism. During Ratzinger’s tenure as
doctrinal enforcer, the church is said to have officially rejected
liberation theology-Dionne argued that “An all-male hierarchy adopted
policies to cover up the [sex abuse scandal plaguing the church] and
seemed far too inclined to put protecting the church’s image ahead of
protecting children, we can at least hope for a church leader who
recognizes and validates the critical social justice work carried out
largely by nuns, rather than spending his time reprimanding women
religious. Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana. Not only would Turkson, as an
African, blasted speculative trading, reiterated previous church warnings
against “idolatry of the market,” and argued, “No one can in conscience
accept the development of some countries to the detriment of others.”
This is what has led some commentators to suggest that liberation
theology may make a comeback if Turkson becomes pope. Naunihal Singh New
Yorker, Turkson has a strong conservative side. He is notably homophobic,
even by church standards, having defended anti gay legislation in Africa
and having linked the Catholic Church’s pedophilia scandals to cultures
that are permissive of homosexuality (rather than to an internal
institutional culture that prizes secrecy, hierarchy, and obedience).
Turkson also caused a scandal last year by showing a fear-mongering and
discredited anti Muslim video to a meeting of church officials. The
British Independent has dubbed the cardinal “Conservatism’s Cape
crusader.-Hummes opposing the use of condoms to prevent the spread of

It is entirely possible as a pretext that the Justice Department is
using to justify its failure to prosecute powerful friends on Wall
Street. In Washington, this possibility can never be ruled out., there is
the possibility that the Justice Department really believes that
prosecuting the criminal activities of Bank of America or JP Morgan could
sink the economy. If this is true, then it makes the case for breaking up
the big banks even more of a slam dunk, since it takes the logic of too
big to fail one step further, the simple argument against too big to fail
is that it subsidizes risk-taking by large banks. In principle, when a
bank or other company is engaged in a risky line of business, those who
are investing in the company or lending it money demand a higher rate of
return in recognition of the risk. However, if they know that government
will back up the bank if it gets into trouble, then investors have little
reason (facts) to properly evaluate the risk. it turns out that we also
give them a get out of jail free card when it comes to criminal activity,
then we are giving these banks an incentive to engage in criminal
activity. There is a lot of money to be gained by assisting drug dealers
and other nefarious types in laundering their money. In principle, the
laws are supposed to be structured to discourage banks from engaging in
such behavior. But when the attorney general tells us that the laws
cannot be fully enforced against the big banks, he is saying that we are
giving them incentive to break the law in the pursuit of profit. Our
anti trust laws are supposed to protect the country against companies
whose size allows them inordinate market power. In principle, we would
use anti trust law to break up a phone company because its market
dominance allowed it to charge us $10 a month too much on our cable. How
could we not use anti-trust policy to break up a bank whose size allows
it to profit from dealing with drug dealers and murderers with impunity?-
militarism is such an accepted fact of American life? Where there is so
little restraint placed upon the military, and so little concern for
civilian casualties?, Two books grapple with these important questions.

shutdown March 27 ap, Mike Simpson of Idaho said, there was concern among
some Republicans that incumbents and candidates in swing seats could be
harmed in the 2014 elections. "You've told people you'd be doing one
thing" and then changing the pledge, Democrats are poised to attack
Republicans over their plans regardless. Reid told reporters,
"Republicans plan to make more extreme cuts to Medicare and Medicaid,
education, medical research. They are in an untenable position." Obama
has proposed cuts totaling $400 billion or more to Medicare and other
health care benefit programs but has refused to accept the type of change
that Republicans seek, impose higher costs on wealthier seniors and make
payments to providers based on "the quality of care seniors receive"
rather than the number of tests. "I am open to additional reforms from
both parties, so long as they don't violate the guarantee of a secure
retirement-Refukicans don't mind cutting funding to Social Security and
Medicare for seniors but will happily prop up spending to the most
bloated military in the world. The only thing they will pay taxes for is
killing brown people overseas and incarcerating them here-Democrats who
opposed the measure protested the embedded spending cuts and criticized
Republicans for refusing to replace some of them with tax loophole
closings. You got your tax revenue, now start cutting you
knuckleheads-Republican "compromise": let's cut social programs and
INCREASE military spending. And neither approach increases taxes (for
everybody), which is necessary if we're ever gonna get out of this mess.
-you are too partisan to see the truth. The truth is that this President
tried to compromise repeatedly. Too much. The insincerity of the
Republicans finally became apparent after they tried to kill the health
care reform, and after that idiot McConnell admitted that all he wanted
to do is obstruct and make him "a 1-term president." Sorry, but I'm not
buying your fantasy argument-Anybody paying attention knows that the
wealth transfer over the last couple of decades has been TO the top, not
from the top. You don't get to make up your own facts, and that is a
fact.-foreclosures, record number of people who lost all their savings,

Mozilo's growth strategy for 2006." Here's how Winston described the rest
of the story to PBS i.e. what happened when he asked the man to
elaborate: "What if the person doesn't have a job?" "Fund 'em," the guy
said. And I said, "What if he has no income?" "Fund 'em." "What if he has
no assets?" And he said, "Fund 'em." Later on, Winston would hear that
the company's unofficial policy was that if a loan applicant could "fog a
mirror," he would be given a loan. This kind of information is absolutely
crucial to understanding what caused the subprime crisis. There are
people out there still willing to argue that the government somehow
"forced the banks to lend" to unworthy applicants. In reality, it was
unscrupulous companies like Countrywide that were cranking out loans en
masse, knowing that these loans would be unloaded down the line, first to
banks and then to sucker investors like pension funds and foreign trade
unions, almost as soon as they were created. Fallout from 'Untouchables'

choice. The citizens of this country have enabled the correct outcomes in
every legal way possible, only to be thwarted by corporate benefactors
like Breuer. At that point, all bets are off and the correct outcomes
must be achieved in extra-legal terms. The Lanny Breuers of the world are
the cause of that unfortunate strategy, but it's the only way. Else,

Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement-the US rapidly
becomes more and more sociopathic. Sociopathy isn't a mental illness, per
se, it's a disease of the character. It's the ascendence of the animal
part of us, eclipsing and overshadowing our humanistic potential. As a
culture, the US is developing an increasing preference for the basic
animal qualities of aggression, dominance, and survival instincts over
our capacity for our humanity: fairness, empathy, justice, reason, and
beauty. Being an animal in human skin is easy, as long as you have no
human qualities like guilt, remorse, or empathy holding you back. Being
an animal is what we start out as (ask any parent of toddlers!); we have
to make an effort to become human. Lots of Americans, because of their
relative dominance, can literally buy or force alternate realities onto
others. When people learn how to completely sidestep what's human and
embrace only what's physical. they are, by definition, sociopaths- rs/
