Liberty is Dead
That’s it. We’re done kids. The greatest experiment in democracy can’t survive long term. Our addiction to drama, turmoil, and petty bickering will kill it. Our passion for ridiculous drama is so ingrained, we invent them and call it news. Then, we quote this to each other like it’s from God’s mouth to our ears. Americans can no longer be happy except when quivering with indignation. We’re beyond caring whether our positions are supportable, as long as they make it possible for us to point at people, Jerry Springer style, and hold forth on their differences.
This county was founded on an argument; our governing precepts grew from a thousand arguments, and for two hundred years we have argued in order to grow. This was a good thing. Nowadays, we no longer argue with any sort of fact based premise. Nope, not us. We bicker. Our passions are rooted in contrived shallow positions on topics shaped by people who have a stake in the outcome, not a sincere ideological imperative. We disregard facts that don’t suit us and squabble with the carefree obstinacy of three year olds.

So what does this have to do with the Bush Administration and fascism? Consider this. In many ways the attitudes of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis are mirrored in the most fanatical of Republican constituencies: The Radical Christian Right, which is hardly Christian nor right about anything. Only radical.
i thought that nothing could ever surprise me with these folks anymore, until i read this news article from 
PHUQUEDUHP, ARKANSAS–Obadiah F. U. Wichanger, the newly elected District Attorney of Hellhole County, South Dakota announced today that his office would seek the death penalty in the case of little Johnny Gilchrist, the 9-month-old infant whose premature birth on December 25 of last year resulted in the death of the child’s mother, the late Helena K. Gilchrist, age 24. According to Kelli Fitzgerald. the elder Gilchrist’s gynecologist, the premature birth which began at the Gilchrist home and which was brought to its tragic conclusion at the Hellhole County Medical Center, resulted in an unexpected uterine hemorrhage which resulted in the mother’s untimely death.
Early History The tenets of non-violence exists in all of the early Abrahamic religious traditions (Jewish, Christian and Muslim), the Darmic traditions ( Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism) and many pagan traditions. Secular movements use non-violence as a practical or strategic effort purely as practical strategy without the moral or religious worthiness overtones. I note with some irony ,the UN on Nov. 10, 1998 declared 2001-2010 to be the International Decade for the Promotion of a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World. Wars promptly broke out.
Of course the majority of the MSM has little to say on the topic. But 
That, my friends, is a short question but it requires a somewhat complicated answer. In a nutshell I suppose that I could say that I have seen just how destructive the new brand of “compassionate conservatism” can be, but that’s too easy. In fact it’s a bit of a cop out. I’m not a Liberal merely because of the destructive nature of the ever devolving Republican Party. There are very real and very positive reasons which explain my affection for and dedication to progressive thought.
This is a little scary, so we advise those with sensitive constitutions to think twice before reading it, BUT, has it ever occurred to anyone that George Wasted Bush and Charles Manson have a lot in common? No, I’m not kidding. When you think about it there really are a number of disturbing similarities.
“Women whom Nietzsche never had, he consigned to a distinctly inferior status, as did the Nazis, who decreed that their place was in the kitchen and their chief roll in life to beget children for German warriors. Nietzsche pit the idea this way: “Man shall be trained for war and women for the procreation of the warrior. All else is folly.” He went further in Thus Spake Zarathustra. He exclaims: “Thou goest to woman? Do not forget thy whip!”–Which prompted Bertrand Russell to quip, “Nine women out of ten would have got the whip away from him and he knew it, so he kept away from women!”

This is my first post so please bear with me; I thought I’d write on the subject of great television.
I lived in the Fenway also known as the “Fens” in the middle 70’s. I have loved baseball since I was old enough to listen to games on the radio with my father. I could see the back side of the stadium and hear the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd.

On Saturday, October 27th, my family and I will start the 30 day countdown for our third Iraq deployment. I “affectionately” call it, Iraq Deployment 3.0.
First off, its complete bs that British Petroleum-BP can do this. There should be criminal charges filed against these mofo’s at every level of management my dear reader. Per an 
Look at this picture of the plant in TX that blew to hell because BP was cutting corners on safety. People died in this explosion. And BP gets to just pay a fucking fine. Amazing.
And to think there was a time when we thought the Bush Administration only anted to exploit the troops by using them as props, as propaganda tools whenever he wanted to boost his sagging approval ratings. Now we know differently. It isn’t only a matter of exploiting those troops who are truly honorable, but also a matter of attracting sadistic bullies, thugs, and hatemongers on the far right. Since this article was written in the summer of 2005 we have learned that the United States military, in an attempt to meet quotas, has lowered the bar and has been recruiting–of all things– criminals, addicts, and more chillingly, skinheads and Nazis.
