History, Politics and Globalization Refresher

A news item caught my eye yesterday.

Those of you that understand what carbon neutral means for our planet might be interested.

This could mean a lot to the arid Mideast countries blessed with an abundance of sunlight.

But can the world agree to kick its addiction to cheap dirty coal and crude oil before it's too late?

Simply a matter of time combined with ignorance and greed before the whole world looks like Beijing did yesterday.

Americanize the world?

Not in its current embodiment!

If America's media is so corrupt that the real reasons for both school massacres and our unemployment crisis can't be mentioned?

Why do both Dems and Reps ignore what an absolute disaster FTA's have been for America?

Seems like they're deaf to that giant sucking sound big ears Ross Perot predicted so accurately.

Do I hear a bid for five cents an hour? Cheap slave labor for sale back onto the American market here!

Is there a single politician rep or dem willing to admit what an absolute disaster FTA's have been for the US?

Is there a single one of them who can honestly claim to represent their working constituent's interests by claiming FTA's have been a good thing for them?

Is there a media outlet even willing to broach this subject?

Why do both reps and dems agree to screw their own constituents by pushing this poison?

Instead of declaring independence, we now declare dependence on communists and dictators?

Well after a few days trying to digest the President's SOTU address, two items in his address are giving me indigestion.

The TransPacificPartnership and the Eurafta Free Trade Agreements.

More of the very poisonous venom that paralyzes the weakest most vulnerable of our fellow Americans by selling their livelihoods overseas to the lowest bidder, which is currently china at 30 cents an hour.

Obviously both political parties now have global constituencies that supercede any equal rights due to the lowest tier of America's laborers.

It's like a nightmare where it's cool to pick on the mentally retarded and exploit them for gain.

When will I wake up from this neoconservative nightmare?

Neoconservative? There's nothing conservative about this entire administration. I did watch the SOTU; it was funnier than Comedy Central. How Obummer can spew such utter horse manure with a straight face is beyond me.
 
FTA's are a neoconservative creation straight out of the reagan years with the specific intent of breaking American labor's back.

Clinton was the first dem prez to buy into their BS, Obama the second.

I expected this crap from reagan and the bushes, but without the clintons and obama joining in on the treason, it could have never gotten as far as it has to date.

One of the reasons I voted for big ears is that he was right about that giant sucking sound as jobs left America once nafta was passed into law.

Clinton and Obama are not dems so much as neocon enablers with a global agenda that's toxic for American laborers.

Obama has stayed the course set by GWB quite faithfully.

Actually protecting American jobs in the same sense each politician swears to protect and defend the constitution has become verboten.

As long as that piece of paper is locked down snug and safe, the poorest lowest iq Americans can be sold out for 30 cents an hour, to communists.

There's an inevitable tipping point ahead of us, in which these treasonous politicians will be forced to either round up America's mad corporate cows and drive them back into our sovereignty barn, or face 300 million pitchforks aimed at them, and shaking with anger.

America is not an imperialist crusader out to rule the world on the backs of its own citizens, is it?

Our govt must be able to crush any mad cow out rampaging in the world simply because if a govt of the people doesn't do it, then who will?

History repeating itself in a 100 year cycle

The age of the robber barons dawning once again

Consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of just a few

Actors on our political stage proclaim we did it all for you

While backstage they slap each others backs and congratulate themselves

Theirs an uneasy heaven ours a daily hell

The guillotine so sharp and glistening winds up to the top

The bright eyed peasants befouled and grimy cheer it as it drops

While high above the moon shines brightly indifferent to our plight

"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
2.1 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
2.2 That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Thank you founding fathers!

I find it interesting that NBC aired Maddow's "Hubris" exposing the outright lies told to us by Cheney and his compadres at the PNAC group, appointed to the cabinet of the Bush administration, while hypocritically ignoring NBC's active role in promoting and spreading those lies on behalf of bushco!

Until this country pulls its collective head out and starts believing in the laws of physics again, rather than the spoon fed lies told us by the PNAC group, that causes steel bldgs to fall into nice symmetric piles of debris three times in a row as a result of asymmetric damage, this country can no longer claim to value the truth or possess any govt integrity whatsoever.

Either you believe in the laws of physics applying to each and every one of us on this planet, or you believe in the continuing lies spoon fed to us by PNAC, and now being promoted by both our political parties, with Obama dutifully staying the neocon course that went into action on 911.

Hubris is simply a very shallow glimpse at the tip of the iceberg of lies and corruption foisted onto the world by both dems and reps, on behalf of their globalization masters of deception.

When I think that each physics teacher in our country is guilty of swallowing these lies hook line and sinker, it really depresses me, but only for a few seconds before I get so pissed off I put it into words to relieve a bit of pressure, and assure myself that the laws apply regardless of man's affinity for telling lies on a global scale.

Joseph Goebbel's propaganda machine pales in comparison to what our own govt is currently pushing as truth.

Come clean America, it's not too late. Just looking "forward" doesn't cut it after we've been stabbed in the back by both parties working together to promote a lie.

I may be a tiny minority in my belief that we've been lied to on such a massive scale, but at least I'll meet my maker with a relatively clear conscience.

Who would argue that we're not currently engaged in a war on multiple fronts?

Historically speaking, how has this country funded the cost of war while engaged in them?

http://www.urban.org/publications/901162.html

Tax cuts during that war?

Only a devoted GWB or Obama believer would buy into such nonsense even being contemplated, much less enacted?

Even a genuine conservative would have scorned such foolishness prior to the Raygun era..

It's very telling though that even the conservative darling of the 80's did in fact raise taxes some 9 times during his tenure, and left office after having tripled our national debt, and we were not involved in a declared shooting war!

Dems now screw over their own labor constituents by selling them out for 30 cents an hour in China.

While republicans abandon their highly vaunted principles by paying the cost of war by putting it on a credit card to be paid at some future date by our great great grandchildren? Their perverted idea of fiscal responsibility?

Here we are up to our eyeballs in debt and the costs of an ongoing war, and the friggin tea party "conservatives" call for more tax cuts?

This hole our nation's been dragged down into to sip poisonous tea at a mad hatter's party has got to be woken from and dealt with humanely by true pragmatic conservatives who really believe in compassion being shown to their fellow men and women, particularly their children and grand children's well being.

We are not a nation of reptiles whose only ambition is filling their infinitely expanding gullets while starving their own offspring?
