            <title>Twas the Night Before Inauguration  (Part 2))</title>
            <description>We may never recover from this hole they dug.&lt;br /&gt;
But we will climb to the top with a American tug.&lt;br /&gt;
The republican party have destroyed all that matters&lt;br /&gt;
They deserve nothing more but to hold the damn ladder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But his voice did change, along with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
Thinking of the bills that soon would be filed.&lt;br /&gt;
Protect those who are old and young alike&lt;br /&gt;
Restore our honor and our military might.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Protect our planet, and clean our air.&lt;br /&gt;
While creating a surplus we can leave to our heirs&lt;br /&gt;
Fix our economy, and health care for all.&lt;br /&gt;
And honor those who fought, and those who fall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama sprang to his feet, to his team he gave a shout.&lt;br /&gt;
The challenges seem impossible, hard work needed no doubt&lt;br /&gt;
But I heard him exclaim ere he talked and ran.&lt;br /&gt;
Hey! It&#039;s not just a slogan, YES WE CAN!</description>

            <title>Twas the Night Before Inauguration  (Part 1)</title>
            <description>Twas the Night Before Inauguration&lt;br /&gt;
By John Cobarruvias&lt;br /&gt;
BayAreaHouston.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
T&#039;was the night before inauguration and what to my dismay&lt;br /&gt;
The market was tanking, I lost my 401K!&lt;br /&gt;
The stocks were hung, in downfall they stuck&lt;br /&gt;
While Bush did nothing, a truly lame duck&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The republicans were nestled, their heads in the sand&lt;br /&gt;
With visions of defeat of the republican brand.&lt;br /&gt;
And Cheney with his gun, his heart a pace&lt;br /&gt;
Looking for someone, to shoot in the face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When out on the house floor, there came such a clatter&lt;br /&gt;
I sprang to the internets to find what&#039;s the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
Away to my screen I ran with a flash&lt;br /&gt;
Hoping the market, didn&#039;t crash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow&lt;br /&gt;
Showed me someone I needed to know.&lt;br /&gt;
When what to my eyes, I paused, with a comma&lt;br /&gt;
But a vision of hope, It was Barack Obama!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With excitement and conviction in each of his steps&lt;br /&gt;
I wondered what he and his el ves, w ould do next.&lt;br /&gt;
More rapid than eagles his appointments they came&lt;br /&gt;
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now Emanuel! Now, Dashle! Now Richardson and Biden!&lt;br /&gt;
On, Clinton , On Napolitano, and Gates, no sense in hiding!&lt;br /&gt;
To fix the economy, our reputation and more.&lt;br /&gt;
And to stop the killing of this unnecessary war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Obama stood still, the republicans they trembled&lt;br /&gt;
Remembering 8 years of a disaster they had assembled.&lt;br /&gt;
They&#039;ve broken our banks, and doubled our debt.&lt;br /&gt;
They scared us to death with weapons of threats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They squandered a surplus, They started a war.&lt;br /&gt;
They shredded our constitution, littered on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
They attack our unions, our immigrants and those who are gay.&lt;br /&gt;
They claim to be Christians, yet on the sick they prey.</description>

            <title>Democratic Talk Radio 2008 Villain &amp; Hero Awards</title>
            <description>Political villains were rampant in 2008. It was impossible to give a single award for the injustices committed for solely political reasons this past year. For the first time ever, Democratic Talk Radio was unable to even narrow the infamous winners to just two. We have selected three “Villains of 2008” to share the award.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our first choice is obvious. Fox News wins the first 2008 villain slot for their disinformation campaign against ACORN. The efforts of Fox News to provide political cover for Republican efforts at voter suppression during the 2008 elections were, in the opinion of Democratic Talk Radio, the lowest thing ever done by Fox News. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second winner for 2008 political villain is George McGovern. Fans of Democratic Talk Radio may be surprised by this choice. Frankly, we never expected to be giving a former Democratic Presidential candidate a villain of the year award. However, McGovern has lent his name to the Right-Wing, corporate effort to undermine workers’ right to unionize. George McGovern has allied himself with the anti-worker efforts to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act. His TV commercials are frankly an open act on working Americans. McGovern has disgraced himself by joining with the most anti-working class political forces in America and misleading the American public on the nature of the Employee Free Choice Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Senate Republicans out to destroy the American auto industry and the United Auto Workers union are our third villainous winners. Senator Corker of Tennessee, Senator Shelby of Alabama, Senator McConnell of Kentucky, Senator Vitter of Louisiana and their fellow Senate Republicans put the interests of foreign corporations over the interests of the American economy. Since all were opposed by the United Auto Workers in previous elections because of their militantly anti-worker voting records, their efforts are obviously motivated by personal political considerations that directly undermine the national interest. These Senate Republicans have sided with foreign companies to drive down the wages and healthcare benefits of American workers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hero of the year selected by Democratic Talk Radio is Al Franken. The American nation should be delighted at his political courage and determination. By insisting that all the votes be counted in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race, Franken has set a good example for all candidates running for office and for American voters. American Democracy has been strengthened by his resolve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al Franken will be a great asset should he eventually prevail when all the votes are finally counted. Norm Coleman has been very aggressive in his attempts to undermine a free and fair counting of the ballots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>What is Democracy</title>
            <description>So...what is “Democracy”?  The literature postulates that ancient Athens, Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights, the Mayflower Compact, and John Locke are the sources of the US constitution.  Moreover, the British philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704), among other notables, has postulate that people are the driving force of nations, not the rulers.  He contended that people are born with inalienable rights, such as “life, liberty and property.”  How is it then that government and others are allowed to oppose or challenge said rights of consensual beings?  Although I object to the comparison of humanity (i.e., Slavery or The Holocaust and the right to exist in equality of other beings), the rights of consensual adults choosing their mates is simply that…their right.  Don’t we have pressing issues to tend to in our Nation???? Let’s pursuit the “change” this nation needs with a vengeance, and stay out of the bedrooms of others.   -The Grassroots Democracy Group - Vera</description>

            <title>Bush Gets a Size 10 Remider of Iraqi Gratitude</title>
            <description>I believe that the &quot;shoe throwing&quot; incident was a great example of the sentiment most Iraqi citizens have for our outgoing president and the wonderful decision he made over five years ago involving their country. The frustration of the Iraqi people is not easily dismissed by saying: &quot;that guy has the right to do what he did because we brought freedom to their country.&quot; Did we? Even if we did, was it our place to invade a nation on the other side of the world for unfounded reasons and illegal justifications? I am sure many believe in the notion of America being the &quot;protector of international community.&quot; I for one do not believe in this role and push others to move away from the notion, choosing instead to focus on the numerous domestic issues that merit our immediate attention. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, one more thing, it was a shame that the journalist lacked the aim to plant one in between the eyes of Bush, that would have made for classic viral video material.</description>

            <title>Is  Senator  Shelby  a  Threat  to  American  Economy?</title>
            <description>Senator Shelby (Republican-Alabama) has a very negative record when it comes to protecting the economic health of the American nation. He has routinely endorsed every major, so-called “free trade” deal that has been proposed for decades. Shelby has routinely stood in the way of government provided, universal healthcare proposal for decades. Now, Shelby (like most other Republican Senators with similar voting records) is blocking the federal bridge loans to the American auto companies designed to save the American auto industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stakes are huge. A million auto worker retirees have their healthcare and pensions put at risk by Shelby’s unpatriotic and reckless actions. The ripple effect of not approving the loans could destroy one out of ten jobs in the American economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Political and economic pundits along with most officeholders have refused to link the economic crisis facing the auto industry to government policy. The situation facing the auto industry is more a result of bad government policy than bad management decisions. The attempt by politicians like Shelby to blame labor unions is factually wrong and, in my opinion, intentionally dishonest. Shelby and his Senate allies created this auto industry crisis by adopting economic policies that have crippled the American economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All industrialized nations except the United States has government provided, universal healthcare. Only in America, do we place the costs of workers’ healthcare and their families’ healthcare on the backs of employers. This puts our employers at a huge competitive disadvantage with foreign corporations.</description>

            <title>Bonus Time in Detroit: How Many Hundred of Millions Will the CEOs Pay Themselves After Destroying Their Companies ?</title>
            <description>Notice the rush of the Big Three Auto companies&#039; executives to collect the bailout from Congress in time for them to pay themselves hundreds of millions in bonus for Christmas!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barack Obama must require that none of the auto companies&#039; executives receive any bonus this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further, Barack must require that they all work for $1.00, One Dollar annual salary in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anything else is a total rape not just of the taxpayers, but a rape of all America.</description>

            <title>USA is in recession | PERIOD</title>
            <description>To many times this year I said the economy is in CONTRACTION.&lt;br /&gt;
On March 27 I published one post with the following name: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/karin/CcR3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;It looks like the Titanic&#039;s History! The Economy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Everywhere outside the inner circles of Washington are talking about the economy is in recession, economists around the country are talking with data in hand and statistical methods and models, sustaining the economy is in recession.&lt;br /&gt;
But only the lurid government of George W Bush and his political puppets of both parties won’t to acknowledge this irrefutable reality.&lt;br /&gt;
One main principle in economy is the fact first and foremost recognize the crisis in the exactly magnitude where is it, with this data you can structure a plan capable to reverse this economics behaviors, otherwise any false analyze could worsened the crisis.&lt;br /&gt;
At this point here is is the majuscule irresponsibility of the government and the political statement of both parties, when they do not want to recognize the economy is in recession. As Germany did few weeks ago.&lt;br /&gt;
Now the &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081201/ap_on_bi_ge/recession;_ylt=Apoxkzloe.Wedq65ggcvcSSs0NUE&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;National Bureau of Economic Research &lt;/a&gt; is recognizing the economy is in recession.&lt;br /&gt;
Yes the economy is in recession heading very fast to the worst depression ever, as a consequences of this stupid behaviors of not admit the reality and try to hidden the true of the crisis.&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing could be very worst than the lack of admit the realities in economic terms.&lt;br /&gt;
These entire politicians in charge are sinking this country in to the most catastrophic economic downturn; they are playing and buying time instead made structural correction to the economy. &lt;br /&gt;
They irresponsible bailout and send billion of inorganic and unproductive money to the markets.&lt;br /&gt;
All are accomplices of this charade of print inorganic money and send it to the market in the most regretfully method of bailing out institutions who are per se out of business.&lt;br /&gt;
Here is now the new reality, banks are failing, big manufactures are failing, small businesses are failing, the construction industry is failing long time ago,&lt;br /&gt;
Means, two of the biggest employers of this country are failing (Construction &amp; Smalls business).&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, if you think the automakers or the business associates with the markets are the biggest employers you are dead wrong and this is exactly this politician of the status want to sell in order to continue putting inorganic money at the expense of the taxpayer.&lt;br /&gt;
These actions now are compromising at least the next two generation of Americans and they are going to pay huge for this government irresponsibility.&lt;br /&gt;
No one can assume this crisis is going to be resolved by any means in the next ten or fifteen years if “only if” the next administration took the necessary structural steps of corrections. &lt;br /&gt;
In terms of UNDO this economic crisis:  “the fail of one year represent 10 years of setting back”&lt;br /&gt;
With this equation, President Elect Barack Obama has to deal. He has no choice! And there are not excuses about the world are in crisis or so on.&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the world is in crisis, and this crisis is the failure of this ECONOMIC MODEL.&lt;br /&gt;
The new realignment if underway, now depend of each government how to handle the situation to prevail or to fail.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Al Franken</title>
            <description>I believe it is a shame that Al Franken is being wronged in the heated Minnesota Senatorial campaign. It is typical of the Republican party to implement, enforce, and justify the use of policies when it is to their advantage, and to criticize the policies when they are the ones who stand to lose. Disallowing absentee ballots is not only wrong, it is an insult to the people of Minnesota, and a slap in the face of our electoral system. How can you justify the blatant refusal of ballots cast by American citizens? You are essentially putting forth the notion that it is acceptable to enforce policies when it is beneficial to one particular political party, and it is also acceptable to openly refuse the acknowledgment of ballots cast by American citizens. How low will the Republican stoop in other to preserve their political choke-hold on politics that favor the wealthy and further exploit the dying middle class?</description>

            <title>&quot;A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE&quot; (poem)</title>
            <description>I wrote this over the summer when I was used and abused as a serf; by a middle-class family on a roofing project.  Will never do that again; would rather die than cow-tail out of my class and social spere again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;A DEEPER SHADE of BLUE&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
By &lt;br /&gt;
Brett Alexander Macarius Andreeivich Encelewski&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are like us; but they are not us.&lt;br /&gt;
They talk like us; but don’t say the same things.&lt;br /&gt;
They know similar people; but their people are more powerful.&lt;br /&gt;
They know the same TRADES; but they have different, better jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
They know the same craft; but they don’t know it as we do.&lt;br /&gt;
They work to play; we work to survive.&lt;br /&gt;
They clean-up nicely; we don’t.&lt;br /&gt;
They have a blue-collar; so do we, however:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a deeper shade of blue: saltier, grittier, earthy, and true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes God-fearing,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes godless,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes enlightened,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes ignorant,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes grandiose,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes depressed,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes epic,&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes tragic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For millennia; civilization has risen and fallen at the compliance or rebellion of our meek and calloused hands.  We may be your slaves; but you are just slaves of the WHITE COLLAR.  A truly righteous and liberated man is he who has no servant; but serves and loves all mankind.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who are we?  Who are you?  Our collar is cut lowest, a deeper shade of blue.</description>

            <title>Your Tax Dollars at Work in the Middle East: Palestinians Forced from East Jerusalem Homes by Israeli Settlers Despite US Protests</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=4020&amp;amp;Itemid=27&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.mceades.com/graphics/alkurd.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;140&quot; height=&quot;112&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the night of Nov. 22, a group of Israeli settlers descended on the Jerusalem home of Palestinian resident Fatima al-Daoudi while the owner was away visiting relatives, changing the locks on the gates and putting a metal sheet over an open-air porch built in by the al-Daoudi family in 1948. Although an eviction order was&amp;nbsp;obtained by the al-Daoudi family and the settlers removed, the order was only temporary and the settlers are expected to return, eventually to stay as the al-Daoudi family is forced to seek housing elsewhere. Residents of the same house since 1930, the al-Daoudi family now faces the prospect of joining the many other Palestinian residents of Jerusalem who, like those in the neighboring West Bank, have been turned into homeless refugees by expanding Israeli settlements (&lt;a href=&quot;http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=4058&amp;amp;Itemid=50&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;PNN&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite US and international protests, a similar fate recently befell the family of Mohammed al-Kurd and his wife Fawzieh, residents of their East Jerusalem home since 1956. Evicted in a pre-dawn raid by Israeli police, the al-Kurd family was forced to move into a tent on private land rented from a Palestinian neighbor while Israeli settlers moved into their home of more than fifty years. Israeli harassment against the family continued, however, including repeated demolition of the tent in which they had been forced to live despite its location on private Palestinian land. To make matters worse, Mr. al-Kurd suffered from complications related to diabetes, of which he finally passed away on Nov. 23. As Mrs. al-Kurd, her children, and her grandchildren mourn Mr. al-Kurd&#039;s death, the family&#039;s future remains in question (&lt;a href=&quot;http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=4020&amp;amp;Itemid=27&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;PNN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7729487.stm&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;XSSCleanedvoid(window.open(&#039;http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/ynews;_ylt=Aq76PoM523F3LEhI5tbbIB2KztAF?ch=4226714&amp;amp;cl=10742567&amp;amp;lang=en&#039;,&#039;playerWindow&#039;,&#039;width=793,height=608,scrollbars=no&#039;));&quot;&gt;AFP&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1035683.html&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Haaretz&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alternativenews.org/occupation-watch/occupation-watch/al-kurd-family-patriarch-dies-future-of-family-residence-in-east-jerusalem-unknown-20081123.html&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;AIC&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasen/spages/1005342.html&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Haaretz&lt;/a&gt; reported prior to the al-Kurds&#039; eviction from their home, the US filed an official protest with Israel for acts against Palestinians including the eviction of the al-Kurd family and harassment of Palestinian residents by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The US complaint was obviously ignored. Such complaints from US officials including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have grown more frequent in recent months according to a separate &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1004189.html&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Haaretz&lt;/a&gt; report, drawing the ire of some Israeli officials, who suggest the US is meddling in local affairs that are none of its business. Despite overriding US concern for Israeli interests and massive US aid to Israel, it would seem that the Israelis have little regard for US and international opinion on the human rights of Palestinians. Billions of your tax dollars go to Israel each year, yet even the most restrained US complaints against settlement expansion and abuse of Palestinians go ignored by those who are supposedly America&#039;s best friends and a beacon of democracy in the Middle East. Meanwhile, anger toward both Israel and America festers throughout the Arab world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President-elect Obama has told us that &amp;quot;the time for change has come.&amp;quot; Has the time come for this long, sad state of affairs to change?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark C.

            <title>&quot;IT DOES NOT CONCERN ME&quot; (a poem)</title>
            <description>The following was published in my college Biannual Literary Magazine--&#039;DRIFTWOOD&#039; (2002 I think) It was inspired after the actions (and continuing actions of the United States--in response to Terror attacks); I felt it appropriate to repost here in wake of the RECENT INCIDENT in INDIA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;IT DOES NOT CONCERN ME&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
By Brett A. Encelewski&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Children slowly die from starvation, in blistering hunger.  Their bellies fill and expand with need.  The eyes roll back into their infantile skulls in sunken misery.  They bathe their chapped skin out of the same stagnant pool civilization has allotted them, and then quench their thirst with the same water.  It does not concern me; I am an American.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	Behemoths of death glide over the unforgiving surface of the gentle and delicate oceans.  They send the carcasses of their steel kin to the bottom, to bleed their toxins into the gills of the children of the drink.  They drag their screens of doom, raping the vitality of the deep blue sea.  It does not concern me; I tend to the vitality of America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	A market place erupts into a macabre spray of fire, shredded produce, and the flesh of men, women and children.  Religious patriots lob crudely constructed explosives into crowds. They reap the crimson glory for Allah, for Christ, and for Jesus.  It does not concern me; I am a citizen of a great nation under God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	Whole countries bolster their economy on growing, producing, and manufacturing illicit substances.  They aid international militants in their quests of terror.  They slash down the great grandfather trees without an ounce of respect for their age, their function, or themselves.  They fight, kill and die for primitive non-renewable resources.  With great effort they smuggle their poisons through our borders.  It does not concern me; I am an American consumer, and they can do what they want.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	Men achieve great feats of martyrdom and bring down majestic mountains of steel and glass and gold.  Brits lose lives, Japs lose lives, Frenchman lose lives.  They all lose lives.  Americans lose lives, and the streets of Babylon are filled with the dead.  I am America, and I shall make the world pay the price, and cooperate with my vengeance lest they face my wrath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	When done, her hellfire spent, the beaten and weary citizens of a crumbled nation shall arise to see their crushed cities smoldering from the helping hand of America.  It is a punishing hand, a disciplined hand.  She shall feed them, and clothe them, and dictate their new government.  Then the small men, the silent women, and the quivering children shall look up at the ominous figure of Lady Liberty and say “thank-you” to their great savior.  They will have to rebuild the cities, and pick-up the dead, because America has done the hard part for them.  But when the refugees come knocking at her door, she shall swat them like diseased flies, turn them away, and send them back to the dusty little hole that they came from.  It does not concern me; I am an American, and that is the way it should be.</description>

            <title>All Debts and Issues; PUBLIC and PRIVATE</title>
            <description>I was thinking to myself again about the classic hypocrasy and injustice of matters/issues regarding &quot;ECONOMICS&quot; and &quot;SOCIO-POLITICAL ISSUES&quot; when discriminating/ discerning PUBLIC or PRIVATE jurisdictions and/or the enforcement of the U.S. Constitutional Civil Liberties governing them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ergo:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ultra-Liberals (in America more appropriately called &quot;SOCIAL LIBERALS&quot;/ aka the &quot;Far Left&quot; are the Ultimate Social and Political Hedonists.  Wanting what they want, when they want it, how they want it; from whom they want it from; it what combination they want it in; as quickly and as conveniently as possible; with little or NO regard for current or past moral, cultural, or social tradition, norms, or morays.  MAXIMUM liberties; MAXIMUM benefits; WELFARE-STATE; SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE; any number of personal economic systems--socialized after that; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SOCIAL LIBERALS.  &quot;SOCIALISTS.&quot;  They like to call themselves &quot;Progressives,&quot; but THEY ARE, indeed, NOT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PROGRESSIVES; are painstakingly disciplined; conservative or liberal (usually moderate) socioeconomic political producers.  That&#039;s a fact; JACK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOW--SOCIAL LIBERALS say things like &quot;Live and let live...&quot; interestingly (in theory) the cry of the Libertarian or Classical Liberal.  Only the Classical Liberal and the Libertarian MEANS IT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...while a REPUBLICAN would say: &quot;Live and let DIE...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Classical Liberals et al. are MONDO-SERIOUS about CIVIL LIBERTIES, PRIVACY, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOW; here is the hypocracy; A group--take your GAY RIGHTS movement; marches down on the STATE and/or FEDERAL scene; thereby making themselves PUBLIC; attempting to affect sweeping PUBLIC change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IN THE PROCESS--groups of them viciously interfere with their peaceful opposers RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH (in PUBLIC); and RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY; now if that protestor group was a formal group; they could be BROUGHT TO TRIAL...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOW; again--as a political paradigm/school: SOCIAL LIBERALS; who are so big into &quot;Live and Let Live&quot; right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well then--why is it that the SOCIAL LEFT interferes (for many, many decades now) with SO MANY of our PRIVATE MATTERS?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A child&#039;s RIGHT to read a BIBLE in SCHOOL!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Blue Collar working-poor family&#039;s RIGHT to 100% of their PRIVATE BUSINESS earnings (INCOME); or EVEN;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A successful Upper-Middle-Class entrepenuer&#039;s RIGHT to 100% of his BUSINESS earnings?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;ALL DEBTS PUBLIC and PRIVATE&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WHAT CONSTITUTIONAL PRECENDANT and &quot;RIGHT&quot; DOES the SOCIALIST LEFT have to STEAL anyone&#039;s money?  Even if it is EARMARKED for &quot;SOCIALIST&quot; programs.  So tell me the distinction?  How is it different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the BIGGEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!  Most educated people (that acquiesce to paying SOCIAL SECURITY) know that 70-85% or more of it goes into pasting people&#039;s heads against the wall in the Middle East...).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SOCIALIST, FACIST, LEFT--thinks it can get away with anything; taking prayer, and bibles from our schools; inserting facist Office of Child Safety agents into our lives to keep us from disciplining our children properly; While crack-heads rape their daughters across the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tell our son&#039;s they cannot wear political or provoctive speech T-shirts; but allow girls to run around looking like WHORES. (interesting double-standard).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We may as well get rid of the white stripes on Old Glory and just put the Big Bird on there (emulated from the Roman Empire).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So SQUEAL about &quot;Live and let live.&quot; But the SOCIALIST LEFT needs to STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES; LEAVE OUR CHILDREN; OUR PAYCHECKS; OUR STATES RIGHTS; etc, alone first.  I am the LAST person to tread on YOU or your business... but YOU are ALL UP IN ON MINE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But many people are not fooled--many people are not decieved by the reverse-psychology; the pity-call of the SOCIALIST.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If were going to do it--lets do it.  Go big Red!  Only thing is Alaska&#039;s Flag will stay blue; and Fly ALONE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God preserve the Congress; and God preserve America.</description>

            <title>Beware Bigot-MONGERS!</title>
            <description>As we attempt to coalesce, coexist; and build the party together--in all our diverse views, philosphies, theologies, ideologies, and especially political agenda--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We must be especially aware and VIGILANT; within the Democratic Party; of the far Left, Ultra-Liberal quasi-professional (or even professional--some even being payed by SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS)...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BIGOT-MONGERS.  What is a &quot;Bigot-Monger&quot; you ask?  Well we all know what a &quot;Bigot&quot; is.  Now, a BIGOT-MONGER is someone who would call ME a &quot;BIGOT&quot; for merely writing this post on BIGOT-MONGERING... lol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are akin to the same hen-house breed of garden-variety SCANDEL-MONGERS; common to any hair salon.  Furrowed, hateful, accussatory (guilty?) brows; pointing, trempling, intense index fingers...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BIIIIIIIGGGOOOOTTTT!  YOU! You HATE [*insert group here*] REPENT, CONFESS!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like any group of pitiful, feeble witch-hunters; the scour the community for signs of dissidence against their agenda; their weapon of choice; REVERSE-HATE; BIGOT-MONGERING.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is VERY, VERY, sad; is that the Type-B far-left ultra-liberal innocent is oft duped by this agenda; and scared into submission; usually having NOTHING to do with the agenda of the group; or perhaps even STRINGENTLY disagreeing with it--however; manipulated and intimidated inot submission with REVERSE-HATE and PSYCHOLOGY and BIGOT-MONGERING; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Don&#039;t speak out Karl, you don&#039;t want to be labled a Gay-basher!&quot; or &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;David--you should say those things about 14 year old girls wearing coochie-cutting denim-shorts, G-strings, and v-neck m-drifts in Junior high; you might get labled an Anti-Feminist or a Sauvinist!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PEOPLE; in the name Christ, the Holy Mother, God and all the Saints; BEWARE of the BIGOT MONGERS! Be strong for your Family, for your State, for Country, and for your God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stand up for the Family, Stand up for Tradition, Stand up the preservation of a healthy society; Stand up AGAINST TRUE HATE-MONGERING and BIGOT-MONGERING; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God preserve the Congress; and God bless America.  C.P.Q.A.</description>

            <title>What is &quot;America?&quot;--C.P.Q.A.</title>
            <description>Someone had asked; or rather retorted; &quot;What is AMERICA!&quot; as if they didn&#039;t know... it was meant to be a rhetorical question, perhaps incredulous in nature.  I say they did not fully understand themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our forefathers &quot;crossed the ocean&quot; to escape the tyranny of the English monarch, parliament, and the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England; which had a knack for having &#039;that affect&#039; on people those days.  Did this mean people 1)Believed; 2)Worshipped; 3)Intended to promulgate society in the name of the Lord any LESS?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Um, NO.  Indeed; &quot;ONE NATION, UNDER GOD.&quot; It becomes clear that the Anti-Christian Ultra-Liberal Coalition has become contented in their &quot;belief&quot; (and attempts to spread propaganda) that this statement in our Nation&#039;s ORGANIC DOCUMENTS is a &quot;TRIVIAL NOVELTY&quot; ....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;...inapplicable, and irrelavent to any State and/or Federal law in the land...&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WRONG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acts/ Policies/ Legislation like the ever-vaunted: SEPERATION of CHURCH and STATE; were FAVORED by the ever-PIOUS founders of our nation; to simply prevent over-zealous, radical THEOCRATS from overrunning our State and/or Federal Government(s); becuase especially in the matter of, say, the Roman Catholic Church--they are an Organization almost like a government unto themselves; and the POWER would be too terrible to comprehend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This goes back to the case of THOMAS BECKETT, Arch-Bishop of Canturbury in England; while Beckett himself was not himself the problem; the situation he was put into BY THE KING (Henry II) and the CHURCH--was.  I rest my case there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Founding Fathers knew this INTIMATELY while hammering the ORGANIC DOCUMENTS on the ANVIL of U.S. FREEDOM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;What is America?&quot;  America is the IV Rome.  The III Rome was Imperial Christian Russian Empire (&quot;Tsar&quot; was a Ruso-Greco-Roman derivitive of Caesar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Founding Fathers were scholars, scientists, soldiers, patriots, and mostly VERY PIOUS men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There work on the ORGANIC DOCUMENTS of this country was based on their contributions to the works and texts; standing on the shoulders of TRUE INTELLECTUAL giants; dating back mellenia.  Much of the ideology, philosophy-theology, principles, ethics, and constitutional draft; as well as the BILL of RIGHTS was based on: the French Revolution, English Civil War; European Enlightenment/ Renassaince; which all in turn hails back to the work and innovations of the Roman Empire and Hellenistic and Classical Greece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our BILL of RIGHTS is simply a clean re-draft of the ENGLISH Bill of Rights; facilitated after the English Civil War; thanks to the British &#039;ole Blood &amp; Guts; Oliver Cromwell, Lord High Protector of England (PATTON; unleashed, uncut, and totally &quot;proper&quot;?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SO; in sum, indeed--&quot;What is America?&quot;  AMERICA is the IV ROME.  Yes, the Fourth Great Roman Empire.  To recap: Roman Empire of Italy; Holy Roman Empire (Constantinople); Tsarist Empire of Russia (Orthodoxy); and the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pax Roma and the U.S. the Irst and IInd &quot;Romes&quot; are great cultural and military, political, and economic powers dominating all the world; the IInd and IIrd &quot;Romes&quot; were the greatest Christian empires ever known to the world; RUSSIA suffered a great period of persecution and darkness during the SOVIET/ COMMUNIST athiest era; but held on; and is rebound healthily.  Their President is THE FIRST ORTHODOX RULER since TSAR NICHOLAS II was executed in the October Revolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IN AMERICA; We believe in Christianity; it is ENCODED and LOCKED IN to our ORGANIC DOCUMENTS; but like the FIRST ROME; our EMPIRE entertains all types and &quot;creeds&quot; every household may have a different shrine; as is there right.  Different Cities may erect larger community monuments and chapels/ temples as they see fit.  It is SO REMARKABLY LIKE ANCIENT ROME; the parallels are frightening/ but they can be ENCOURAGING--if we reign in the positive elements...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And doggedly QUASH and DESTROY what is ROTTING this country to the core.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senatus Populusque Romanus [(S.P.Q.R.) &quot;The Senate and the People of Rome&quot; or &quot;The Senate and Roman People&quot;), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official signature of the government. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was what unified Ancient Rome; and this is what I propose:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congressus Populusque Americanus [(C.P.Q.A.) &quot;The Congress and the People of America&quot;], I hereby propose; for UNITY in civil, municipal, State, and Federal sectors of the United States; our official signature of the Republic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We must ALL become more involved.  The People; their Representatives must work closer together.  The People must work for the Government; and the Government must work for the People; and it is the job of the U.S. Congress (the Senate; and the House) to see that this happens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the People cannot work with the Government; and the Government cannot work with the People--then in the NAME of CHRIST; the Government shall be destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why we have our Bill of Rights--that is the original purpose of the 2nd Amendment; have no illusions.</description>
