From the description of the Mondale/Hersh video at YouTube:

How much power does our constitution provide to protect our rights?

Fuck - absolutely no power at all lately!

But the Constitution is words on paper - it requires people to enforce it. People who have the power to enforce it, but they are all bought out by those who would throw the Constitution away. Don't forget - to them it's only a "Goddamn piece of paper". An obstacle in their path.

I think some kamikaze lefty scholars and heroes need to draw up a brand new one, distribute it far and wide, with the date set for its institution, and let the entire populace rise up to make it so on that day.

Might turn out to be the shortest revolution in history, with either no casualties or more than ever in history, but this shit would be over, pft, kaput, pau, history for a very long time after it.

I like using colorful speech... 'specially when someone I like as much as Scott keeps missing the Mac truck mowing him down like that....

I'm pretty sure that Mondale/Hersh thing is from a couple years ago, but maybe it just SOUNDS like one they did a couple years ago. I linked it because it was part of my attention stream today and I'd thought when I first saw it that it was that Hersh lecture we don't get to hear.... I'm kind of pissed at him for saving so much vital information until he gets around to publishing it.

Rin needs the computer now - annual spay and neuter clinic. She and Kae volunteer to work at it and Rin schedules people's cats and dogs. Numerous veterinarians and the animal shelters ban together and give free spay and neutering to the pets of low and no income people. They will be doing 850 this year. They also catch them up on their shots and heartworm medicine plus give them a [eek!] microchip.

(I'm OK with the chips for dogs - it's helped us return several of the stray dogs Kae has brought home to their owners.)

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
