All weekend I have been fuming about the travesty of the Obama Administration while the glow of quite possibly the greatest American hero of all time has not faded from our hearts. When I fume, I can't speak. I have avoided listening to Martin in honor of his birthday or his holiday because it makes me cry and cry and cry. Never fails. You almost can't say the word "dream" around me at any time of year without me going all verklempt. It's been that way since they killed him. But maybe you want to listen.

I'm sure at least half the people in the Pentagon are not for the wars, or the empire, but they want the paycheck more than they want that shit to stop. One of the things I love about Martin is that he came right out and told people that they had to risk their jobs to get out and stop the beast. There has been extra-heavy sleeping powder poured on us ever since. They have been trumpeting shit about family being the ABSOLUTE priority, that yer shit if you risk the paycheck to get out and be a protesting hippie. We got to the point where we had to schedule protests on weekends to get anyone to appear.

JUSTICE has never been won by fuckers who put anything in front of fighting for it. Every person who has ever gone out to fight for right has had EVERYTHING to lose. People USED to think it was sometimes more important to fight for it because it wasn't doing their families a kindness to keep them fed and housed inside a tyranny, but people do NOT think that way now. They think of their own asses and when they get too steamed and it's threatening to make them act out, they rush over to some blog or to Facebook or Twitter and VENT until they're calm enough not to risk themselves again. If that hasn't worked, they switch on Jon Stewart or some sports spectacle and eat a lot of ice cream.

Well, yes, I knew that. And, yes, anyone would know that. I was just riffing off the notion of half the Pentagon being against the wars....

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
