No. We know going in that this isn't even a tenth of what they're supposed to do, Larry, and so EVEN in the EXTREMELY unlikely event that any prosecution whatever comes out of this, it won't even put a pimple on the face of this administration's perfidy. Snap out of it.
Since, after all, sheep demand shepherding, it sort of serves them right to get these fascist fucks, but NOT the rest of the world, and CERTAINLY not its creatures. So those guys would be vastly better choices. Vastly.
Well, I'll be damned 99! Although you don't have a real name and I'm not sure whether that is your real picture or not, I agree with what Russell Means, (if that's his real name), says!
I once changed my name to my full name, (Larry R. Bergan), because an xray got mixed up with another Larry Bergan who was apparently in my doctors office.
I have since changed it back because I thought the full name seemed arrogant to me.
You busted me! I hired an actress to sit here and play me. Pose for the camera. I'm really a hairy old man who hasn't had a bath in six years.... I suffer from indian chief envy and hate effete...
effete |iˈfēt| adjective
(of a person) affected, overrefined, and ineffectual : effete trendies from art college.
• no longer capable of effective action : the authority of an effete aristocracy began to dwindle.
politicians in the White House pissing on the Constitution and ignoring the well being of the people and the planet and murdering innocents for drill and profit. I'm a cranky old geezer who loves to cuss, call perfectly charming bathed-persons "murderating fucks"....
And the crux is when someone's ACTIONS align with with their words... when their ACTIONS transcend mere words... when NOTHING could induce them to say one thing and do another.... All the men I listed qualify, while the president absolutely does not.
Sorry, Larry, I deleted your last comment. I don't want your phone number and personal specs on my blog. I don't know what in the hell your problem is with names and screen names and giving out all your personal information... possibly you've been frightened by the lack of privacy in the surveillance state and lost it... whatever. Please don't publish your own or anyone else's personal data on my blog.
I've just always believed that if people used their real names to comment on the internet there wouldn't be so many troublemakers and trolls. It's impossible to tell whats real anymore and I hate it.
Obama has done at lot of bad things and I'm disheartened by them, but it's still not nearly as bad as the Bush years to me.
Well, even with real names it would be nearly as bad in most ways. A lot of people use real-sounding names that aren't their own, aren't even similar to their own. This is actually prudent because anybody can look up your real name and find out entirely too much about you. Prospective employers can find out if they like the cut of your jib; friends and family members can be embarrassed or hurt by your online activities; stalkers can find you; all kinds of ugly and unfair uses by the same assholes you'd hoped to avoid by using your own name.
It's the same as in the walking around world, though easier for people to be total jerks. You have to decide who to believe and who to trust anywhere you go and so you ought to just cool off about this point. Use your own gauge and call it good. Mindfuckers are everywhere.
And I would consider it a big favor if you quit with the Obama stuff here. I don't want to hear that shit. There are plenty of places where people spend all day and night coming up with defenses for his indefensible shit and attempts at moral relativism, as though something about Obama is in any viable or consequential way better than Dubya.
HOGWASH!
The ONE thing eternally better about Obama is that he is half black AND HE HAS NOTHING to do with that. NOTHING.
So, please, this world is hurtful and exasperating enough without adding this partisan Obama utterly useless and actually dangerous relativism to it. You are welcome here, but that stuff REALLY makes me sick.
I'm not here just to antagonize you. Maybe your right about my being in denial, but we worked very hard to get the Democrats into power and I'm still hoping for something.
I love your site. It's the most visually beautiful I've ever seen, but I'm upset that I can't even mention Obama here unless it's in a bad light. I bash the guy myself and I admit he hardly ever differentiates himself from the fascists.
You don't have to bash him, and you don't have to defend him! If he does something solidly 100% righteous, I will probably beat you to the celebration of it. You don't have to give up hope. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT OBAMA HERE! It isn't like it's needful in the slightest. There are a thousand other things to talk about! When/if there is something huge to say about him, THEN say it. Just PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stifle your expressions of Obama/Democratic-Fascist/political hope on this one blog. I can't take it.
I'm sick TO DEATH of party politics! It's like having gotten such a lethal dose of it yonder for so many years, I think one more drop of it will make me start barfing and never stop. My blog is about beauty and truth and mind and courage and vision and heroes... and how they intersect with the horrors of this world. THIS IS A FASCIST COUNTRY! The politics are MOOT, and so infuriate anyone whose motive is to heal the hell.
OK, I didn't fully understand the mission of this blog and it's certainly great that at least one place covers reals heroes. I can certainly understand why you would be burned out on partisan politics after being the webmaster [over] yonder.
I was just looking off the the right of this comment and saw a quote by Cynthia McKinney. Indeed a hero!
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
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
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

If this turns into something, I'm expecting a slight retraction from you 99!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not holding my breath either.
No. We know going in that this isn't even a tenth of what they're supposed to do, Larry, and so EVEN in the EXTREMELY unlikely event that any prosecution whatever comes out of this, it won't even put a pimple on the face of this administration's perfidy. Snap out of it.
ReplyDeleteSo you think Obama was more treacherous then Bush?
ReplyDeleteI had to look up perfidy.
Yes. Actually, yes. Actually, waaaaaaay more.
ReplyDeleteWe're just going to agree to disagree at this point.
ReplyDeleteActually...
You cannot be serious!
I'm dead serious. Snap out of it... or pay attention... or....
ReplyDeleteTell me honestly:
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about Rand Paul?
Nothing.
ReplyDeleteso then, who's your guy/gal to lead us out of this mess?
ReplyDeleteYourself?
Jeremiah Wright!
ReplyDeleteMichael Parenti!

Minister Farrakhan!
ReplyDeleteNorman Finkelstein!
Someone with brains, heart, vision, COURAGE.
HOW ABOUT RUSSELL MEANS?
No. For sure it's gotta be RUSSELL MEANS.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll be damned 99! Although you don't have a real name and I'm not sure whether that is your real picture or not, I agree with what Russell Means, (if that's his real name), says!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's really the crux isn't it?
True story:
ReplyDeleteI once changed my name to my full name, (Larry R. Bergan), because an xray got mixed up with another Larry Bergan who was apparently in my doctors office.
I have since changed it back because I thought the full name seemed arrogant to me.
I really hate this crap!
