Let’s be honest. Decorum and mutual respect for other people and their opinions is dead in our country when it comes to ideological politics.

Let’s also be honest that hardcore partisans from both the leftwing and rightwing hate each other and live in a world detached from everyday concerns and common sense policies most Americans want.

I am no exception, I sling mud and insults back at others. At first I thought is was justified, but now I have realized that it is a never ending cycle. Blame and responsibility is in the hands of both sides. If you play the game YOU are part of the problem. I’ve been attacked and I retaliated, I justified lowering myself using personal attacks to full-fill a vendetta and that is all it was; a self feeding system of anger and hate that never ends. A never ending tiny cloned microcosm replaying the disaster of the war between the left and right at the federal level.

I did not consider myself a hardcore ideologue or partisan until recently. Until I listened to some music by the Subhuman’s that made me realize what I believed in my early twenties and what I have become now.

 What did I believe about government and corporate powers?

 “Democratic governments become corrupt because they end up being co-opted by large corporations and the rich ruling elites that most politicians are part of.”, after doing some reflection, not much has changed from 1989 to 2010, just the party in power and bickering over social policy.”

 Yes, social policy by the way is what keeps the non-elite ideolouges fighting over low hanging fruit, while the top 5% of Americans get away with whatever economic thievery they want by fixing the “rules” to favor them.

 I still believe this, except that in order to change the system, you have to be active and not only change it from without but change it from within. When you divorce yourself from the process and the system, you effectively render yourself obsolete and useless; That by being proactive is the only way to effect changes to the structure and system of government.

On the Rightwing and Conservatives:

 Unfortunately, because they lost bad in the 2008 election cycle Republicans and Conservatives decided to Divorce themselves from the Democratic process by not even trying to effect change by offering “their” ideas and working “with” the democrats. By saying “NO” all the time, they have made themselves obsolete in the “legislative” process; Republicans have effectively made themselves obsolete, seceding their elected responsibility to their constituents to the democrats. It’s a petty tactic and is failing.

 You can’t effect changes by taking yourself out of the process. You can’t change the system by being reactive. The Policy of “NO” from the right is exactly what this country does not need at this time. Ideological purity will kill your party and is killing it now because you have no moderates that can actually cut deals and work with moderate Democrats; well, maybe except for Scott Brown.

 Ideological Purges are just going to isolate you more into a mob of angry bitter people, happily isolated in a fantasy world of “us vs. them” and justify winning by “any-means necessary” since anyone to the left of you will be considered morally and ethical inferior. Wake up! You lost the 2008 elections, take responsibility for the reasons for the loss, fix them, but you gain nothing from isolating yourselves!

Oh and drop the Bigot’s that support you. Support from those people does your side no good.

On Blogging, LLC, and the Banning of the “Hypatian Shore”:

            People are not going to be receptive to your positions if you insult them. For instance, labeling all pro-choice people “baby killers” is a sure fire way to kill a debate. Calling liberals “communists” is another way to kill debate, while calling conservatives “Neanderthals” and “Fascists” does exactly the same. Scoring cheap political points in a 2 second sound bite by misrepresenting or smearing is another way to kill debate, etc… They will not show your views respect because they will not respect you. Disagreement should not be a trigger for personal attacks. It takes more power and more discipline to take the higher ground than the low ground and it is possible to fight back without lowering standards. A lesson I forgot about, but hope to take back.

Let’s face it people do not like to deal with concepts or evidence that contradicts their world view. We prefer to listen to those who re-enforce what we believe. The mainstream media “knows’ this and it is played out day after day by opinion based pundits who filter it for us, to make it easy and marketable. And this paridigram is played out day after day by the bloggers and posters of this blog site and this is exactly what JS wants this is why the “Discussion Rules” are not enforced.

    The Journal Sentinel Corporation ethical standards are dismal when it comes to blog forums, which leads me to why my brother’s final blog was banned.

Exhibit A: The Actual Blog - On Plant Hayett™, First Citizen Hayett goes about his day in utter adulation of himself, casting alms to his ego, and aspersions to his perceived enemies. On Plant Hayett™, First Citizen Hayett does not recognize the very words he uses when he attacks others, because reality is dependent upon the sheer idiocy of First Citizen Hayett alone. Most people assume that Plant Hayett™ is a lonely place, but when a person, like First Citizen Hayett,makes his home there, there can be no room for anyone else. First Citizen Hayett™ + Planet Hayett™. Where masturbation is the only ritual of the day and idiocy has been trademark.

Scott Petersen basically warns Matt in his e-mail back that he pulled the following comment(s) off the site (at Jim or Amy). If you use this kind of language again, I will take your blog down.

Matt’s reply: I really don't care Scott. Hayett invites the abuse and you are surprised at the reaction? Perhaps you need to remind Hayett the rules. He doesn't follow them, and when my brother and I make a case about the abusive language, what do you do? You allow it. Please.

Scotts Replies that he has taken the blog down because Matt has violated the “terms of use agreement”, and he was sorry.”

 Here’s the only part in the agreement we all signed that has very blunt teet: “Representations and Warranties: Submitter hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it is the original author or creator of the Submitted Content, (b) it has full power and authority to execute this Release and to grant the rights granted herein, (c) no other consents, authorizations or payments are necessary to permit Media Company’s full use and enjoyment of the rights granted herein, and (d) the use of any element of the Submitted Content will not violate or infringe upon the trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, rights or privacy or publicity or any other personal or proprietary rights of any person or entity, and shall not defame or libel any person or entity. 

As you can see Matt said nothing that was against the “terms of use” agreement that we all sign to blog. Unless the word “masturbation” was the issue, but Scott Petersen never makes clear to Matt “what” language was at issue and what part of the “terms of use” Matt actually broke in his blog. Yet, why does Scott target Matt’s “comments” instead?

 If Matt broke one of these, Scott never ever clarified which part of the user agreement he broke! And if you will see part (d) does not even apply to Bloggers but by the use of the Bloggers content by LLC and JS online.

Exhibit B: Slanders & Insults - Meanwhile Jim Hayett not only slanders me and other bloggers but freely defames posters as well. His behavior is present in his blog record. I suggest you do some research, before guffawing me. I don’t think I need to go over all the examples but here is a clear example of Slander if not a case of Libel, “"Jacob...you and these liberal understudies probably all carry Hitler pictures in your wallet and right next to bin laden."  Jim Hayett

Here Jim explains WHY he is justified in using insults on a day to day basis: “But my choices of words are “liar, dumb, stupid, idiot, ignorant, and hypocrite.” I may have left a few out due to my memory loss, but never have I stooped to the level you and others have used on me or my family. But when I call you, CD, Onlyoneme, and others a “liar” or a “hypocrite,” I have facts to back those words up. Jake, when I called you a “pathetic liar” I did so because I caught you lying, again, about Bush’s tax cuts.

URL: http://www.livinglakecountry.com/blogs/communityblogs/83036417.html

Well Jim on Planet Earth when you label a person with these adjectives, ““liar, dumb, stupid, idiot, ignorant, and hypocrite.”, no matter how you rationalize it,  They all are Insults clearly defined by discussion rules and if we are to take Scott Petersen’s reasoning then Jim would be guilty of the of “terms-of-use” agreement because you had made “de-famitory statements about me” The same agreement that Matt supposedly broke!

Exhibit C: Threats – There was Physical Threat allowed to published by Jim Hayett against me which spurred the Discussion rules in the First place. My original e-mail on 4/10/09:

Dear Erin,

 I have to respectfully disagree with you.

 He actually threatened the use of violence against me and Jim allowed him to as well. I find it hard to believe that JS Corporation should take these actions so lightly. 1) A poster making a physical threat, 2) a Blogger letting this sort of threat to be posted on the site.

 Should not both of these people be held to task for this sort of behavior? How is this behavior ethical? How in one instance you slap Matt's hand for the Google thing, but at the same time ignore the obvious threat against my person and Jim who has allowed for this threat to be posted?

  Could you at least provide me with the LLC blog guidelines, for both posters and bloggers? I would like to review them myself and if I must take this situation into my own hands.

 I realize you get fire from the right-wingers on this blog site for being biased and they push you all the time, playing the refs on you to get an outcome they want.

   Threats are different.

  I have never complained before, not even as a poster for being treated with disrespect, but the threat goes too far.

  Thank You, Jake

Jim, via a poster via his Blog that he had “complete” control over, threatened me! How is a “threat” even before the ”Discussion Rules” were written not a “huge” breach of ethics? Why was Jim not reprimanded by having his blogging rights, taken away for even a WEEK!

 Exhibit B: Swear words - There is also another time where Jim used the word “bastard” a clear swear word in our language and Scott Petersen made excuses for Jim. I have it all in e-mail and is well documented. Scott would not enforce “Discussion” guidelines on Jim Hayett.

URL: http://www.livinglakecountry.com/blogs/archive/?blogID=45022307&archive=y&startDate=07-01-2009&endDate=07-31-2009

So why is Jim Hayett allowed to continually break the Discussion Rules and use Libel or defamitory language against me and other poster on LLC blogs without any repercussions from the Editor of LLC Blogs? It simply does not follow the precedent and rational that Scott Petersen set by banning the “The Hypatian Shore”.

THERE IS A CLEAR DOUBLE STANDARD AND A DIFFERENT SET OF RULES ON LLC BLOGS THAT FAVORS JIM HAYETT.

It is a well known fact between LLC bloggers Victor, Jeff, Sally Pla, Chris, and Me that Jim and Amy, on more than one occasion, tried to get Matt kicked off via complaining to Erin Mellone. There is one instance when Matt got his handle stolen and Jim and Amy did all they could to publicly slander Matt, even after Erin cleared Matt of all wrong doing. How was that not a breach of “discussion rules”!

I can only think of one solution: My theory is that Jim and Amy pushed Scott Petersen to ban Matt from Blogging on LLC. It is also well known that many of Waukesha Counties Christians were offended by “The Hypatian Shore’s”, criticism of Christianity and view on Atheism. I think he succumbed to the pressure to placate the angry mob to get them off his back!  He as the ref and in sports terms, was played.

How hard was Scott Petersen pushed to have “The Hypatian Shore” banned?

It is Clear the Scott Petersen, even when there’s overwhelming evidence of Jim Hayett’s abuses above and beyond the word “masturbation”, and far after Matt was banned, will not “Hold” Jim Hayett to the standards in the Discussion Rules or whatever supposed “terms of use” agreement that Matt supposedly broke?

By refusing to hold “Fighting Liberal Lies” and Jim to the same Standard as Matt’s “Hypatian Shore” is has exposed the “bias” of LLC Blogs.

Living Lake Country Blogs and its editor has what appears to be a “conservative bias”, and for The Journal Sentinel, the parent company this is exactly what they wanted, to cater to the very conservative people of “Waukesha County”.

Yet it’s not that simple…“The Hypatian Shore” being banned was a mistake, and the editor of LLC Blogs knows it, it was for months and months in the top 5 hit blogs on the site before Erin was fired, it kept people coming to the website. This is the reason I have not been banned for personally attacking Jim Hayett and and This is the reason WHY with my last salvo of personal attacks on Jim, nothing has been done. I have felt no repercussion from LLC. WHY?

Because if I am kicked off it “instantly proves” conservative bias and It is far more entertaining to see me bash Jim Hayett, have him retaliate, then you pick your champion and watch us ” hit each other over the head with verbal clubs” rather than actually “discuss” an issue that may wreck your world view or change your opinion. We are being used as “political theatre”. It’s far easier to let us “Bash” each other than to have to do the work of enforcing standards on the bloggers and posters of the LLC blog forum. It’s pathetic and disgraceful.

 And this is the reason why I am leaving:

   I am not a hardcore ideologue and do not want to become one.  You can’t effect change by sitting on the side lines writing a blog trying to communicate with the rightwing who are uninterested in discussion or compromise because they are so lost in the woods that they have no idea what they really stand for, that’s why all we are left with is bitterness and anger. Preaching to the converted may be self-gratifying but praise does nothing to change anything. I am going to start being proactive and actually do something productive with my time to effect change. It starts at the “grass roots”.

   This is my Final blog for LLC because I am unwilling to be part of the mud fight of the JS business model by pitting the right and left against each other to create profits and I do not want to make them profits by doing their dirty work for free. I’m sure some of you will be happy I’m leaving; I only ask that you hold the bloggers you like to the same standards you dangle me from my ankles by! Okay? That means scolding them when they attack or insult others.

  I am leaving LLC Blogs because I have learned that “I” am part of the problem and not a solution. In other countries ideologues take their hatred of each other to the streets were they kill and beat each other up over political disagreements, I do not want to be part of this when the “WAR” between the left and right becomes violent and is taken to our street, or justify a murder while condemning it! I will not justify or condemn actions through the blinders of “ideology”, a sure fire way to enforce a double standard. A double standard I have seen far far to often on these blogs. This is anathema to “me” and a path that I do not wish to follow.

One last thing: Lake Country, Waukesha County, you need to start taking care of your water resources, your aquifer’s are low, polluted, and full of radon, your lakes chock full of invasive species that destroy the ecosystems and crowd out bio-diversity. This is the legacy of a 3 acre perfect green lawn watered weekly, fertilized and chemically treated to kill pests. Exponential consumption of resources with lax regulatory oversight caused this problem and you have no one to blame but yourselves and the Politicians that you voted for.

The Reason for Sally Pla Leaving LLC Blogs:

Jacob Pickard June 3, 2009 at 6:23pm

Sally,

Matt just told me why you left; due to Amy's bullying of you.

I am sick and tired of the way these 2 treat other's they do not agree with. I ask that if you can, please add your reasons why you left and if you felt bullied on the Blog site. Matt left becuase of this also.

I know this may seem trivial, but they have to be stopped or at least JS to realize their actions.

Thanks, jake

 

 

Sally Pla June 3, 2009 at 9:46pm

Hi Jake,
Yeah, I stopped blogging because they were too nasty for me. I"m a weenie. :-) It was just getting too hard to stay positive. A few of my friends counseled me to stop -- they couldn't figure out why I'd bother -- sort of like banging your head against the wall. And then, what do you know, it feels so good when you stop. :-)

It does bother me to realize that they are still out there spreading all kinds of misinformation. But I have to say, I am heartened that all the Rush Limbaugh wannabes out there are being exposed and discredited these days for the negative, nasty influences that they are. Too many -- the vast majority, in fact -- of Americans want to work for positive change. To hell with the mudslingers.

Good luck to you, Jake!

 

 

Jacob Pickard February 1 at 4:07pm

Sally,

Tomorrow is my last blog. Could I use your response and credit you with writing it.

Thanks, Jake

 

 

Sally Pla February 1 at 4:51pm

Hi Jake, You mean what I said right above? Sure! YOu don't even have to credit me. Feel free to borrow and use as you see fit. Good luck!

If it is not obvious by now LLC does not enforce the Discussion Guidelines. It is up to the posters on this Blog Site to stop rewarding Bloggers that break these guidelines on a daily basis.

1)      Stop responding to the Blogs of bloggers who do not follow the guidelines. It rewards the blogger with positive reinforcement and they will continue the behavior that does not follow the guidelines.

2)      Respond to bloggers who “follow” the guidelines.

3)      JS and LLC do not care all they want is to get as many hits as possible, need proof just look at Jim and I, because we are not held to any standards.

Here's the short version:

4) Write LLC and the Journal Sentinel calling out Bloggers that break these guidelines and express your displeasure with the lack of standards on the site.

Posters, only you can make the difference in the end.

You are the target and the consumer of this product that JS puts out. It is obvious that bloggers, even with well intentions, get caught up in their own BS and feel like the have the right to ignore the agreement above.

 I am cleaning up my act; I am disgusted with my behavior, but I still plan to keep up the fight.

Thanks for Reading, Jake

If spending money equals Free Speech, and Corporations which on average have more money than a person and while that Corporation which is treated with nearly the same rights as a living breathing American; Does this not mean the quantity of free speech you have now can be equated with the amount of money you have?

Corporation = American Citizen

Money = Speech

Corporations > Free Speech

American Citizen < Free Speech

 Why are corporations and special interests groups, who are not living people, nor actual citizens, have nearly the same free speech rights as I have as a living breathing individual American? Why does Exxon or the AFL-CIO given the same rights that I have other than voting?

 Of course with the Corporate Friendly Supreme Court, I’m sure voting rights for corporations are just around the corner ( you laugh now!).

   Could this have been the reason WHY corporations and special interests were regulated in the first place, because they do not share the thing the 350 million + American’s share in common: That we are living sentient beings who not only aspire to live a comfortable life and make money like corporations, but that we love, eat, and Die..., we are creatures of biology and our environment and not a construct of a man-made economic system that does not require Oxygen to survive.

Can some one tell me when Exxon had to go bankrupt to treat the lung cancer it got? Or when Exxon willing paid the Families in Alaska for the environmental damage for the incompetence of their oil from the Exxon Valdez, rather than going to court to get it fixed in their Favor?

How about when McDonalds Corp had to spend its weekly income on food to feed its 2.3 Children?

Or when DuPont through incompetence, willing and remorsefully, paid millions to the family of the dead in Bapol India?

How about the remorse and sorrow Halliburton felt after its faulty and incompetent wiring of US military bases in Iraq killed US service people?

Or when Blackwater willing gave the victims families millions to make up for their loved ones that were unjustly murdered by its employee’s?

Corporations and Special Interest Groups are “non-living” and are not barred by the frailties of “being alive” that make us human beings, not imbued or burdened with a brain, heart, or conscious, or a finite life set by biology or ended prematurely because of disease or violence. The vast majority of corporations only strive to perpetuate themselves or for there goals by any means necessary in our “so called capitalist free market”!

 We barely have power over Corporations and Special interest groups due to un-fettered lobbying as it was before this decision. You will find out this election and campaign season you will now have even less power over your elected officials, and your personal contributions will be dwarfed by the heavy power players, because as we have seen that in order to play the game of politics and advertise with ALL forms of media you need millions to win a seat.

                 URL: http://www.opensecrets.org/index.php

 Question: Ask yourself this, which players have the most money (a non-living object that represents value by-the-way), and if money equals “Free Speech” who will be able to buy the most influence via media and the politician (they know who gives them their monetary support), and spend millions on attack ads without any repercussions?

 It is not you

-100 years not deemed long enough to fix the damage done by Barak Obama,  Democrats, and liberals created from 2004-2010. Constitution changed to reflect this and Republican majority gives itself 1,000 more years.

When Bush left Office with a 1.2 trillion deficit?

Where were you when the Republicans borrowed billions from China to pay for their wars and un-fettered spending?

When the Congressional Republicans added billions of Pork to spending bills?

When the NSA spied on all of our communications without probable cause?

When our government used Torture as a means to gather intelligence, against our treaties and law?

When your government lied to you and started a war with Iraq?

When Republicans cried out against the Filibuster but now embrace it?

When the Bush Administration due to its lack of Regulation of the Financial Markets destroyed are economy, then bailed out the mega banks?

Why are you silent! When blatant racist bigot’s in your own movement ruin your reputation?

I know who you are now, a disjointed group of people suddenly angry at the perceived government abuses by the Democrats, scared to death of that the idea of sane economic policies fighting to correct the disaster of “Reaganomics” and “supply-side” control over the consumer.  The un-fettered greed and virtual casino the markets have become. You and your so called “values” are hard to take seriously because you stayed silent for long 8 years when a conservative Christian Republican held office and did the things you blame Obama for in his first year? Afraid of Big Brother….Right? Then why did you not speak out against Big Brother when he listened to your conversations without probable cause!   

 Another case of Situational Ethics, kind of like the same kind that the Republicans face now when they embrace the filibuster at the minority party, when they decried its use when they were the Majority.

 The Tea Bagger’s failure is a lack of consistency, when the same economic abuses you blame the Democrats for were already mastered by the conservatives you approved of and that you gave a free pass and stayed silent. I find it hard to find you people believable and clearly have mastered the art of hypocrisy. The evidence of your double standards, based purely on political lines and hatred of a government with Democrats in power, voted in by the vast majority of Americans, points out that your new found “patriotism” and love of “freedom & Liberty” is as partisan and transparent as your silent support for the rightwing abuses of the constitution during Bush’s eight year reign.

Edited for Content 1/2/10

 This is some advice and a call to action for Obama, Democrats, and anybody who wants reform of the Private Insurance Industry.

The extreme rightwing who have basically taken over the Republican Party will and have shown “No Quarter” and will never ever be able to be brought to any form of sane or reasonable deal.

They do not want “Bi-partisanship” they do no want, “Compromise” and they have no respect for a “non-conservative point of view”.

The rightwing is at “War” and against anybody who does not agree with their stance, they say people who don’t agree with them are destroying this country and hint at the use of violence on almost a daily basis.

So, Democratically controlled Congress and Obama here is some advice,

“Shove the Healthcare bill down the Throats of Tea Baggers and Republicans”

The Republicans shoved legislation down your throat for the 8 years Bush was president and because the tea baggers and rightwing would have no qualms about doing the same, you can’t compromise with militant Christian extremists who hate you just for being left of far right.

                   No Regret, No Remorse, No Quarter.

I have a pet peeve when it comes to how economists, politicians, Libertarians, bloggers, and people misuse Ecology as the blue print and template for how so called “Free Market” economics is supposed to work.

 In a nut shell a free market economy is a self regulating system that will correct itself. Less government regulation means a better running system. The consumers and the price of raw materials act as the main regulatory agent, etc…..

In My Opinion, The way supporters misuse ecological principles to push the “Myth” of a “Free Market” and how it is superior than “Regulated Markets” is so off base to either be ignorant on how “nature” works or deliberately misleading that these people have done more harm in the last 30 years in which it culminated into the mortgage and banking crisis which has cost millions of people their jobs and lively hoods it is the largest economic white collar crime since the S & L scandals of the 1980’s.

Ecology

Interaction is the key concept of Ecology.

First let us strip god, new age beliefs, politics and any romance and emotion out of the concept of how we look at Nature. I like to look at it cold and mechanistically, kind of like how a machine works, on what we know of how things interact with each other.

Ecology is the study or the interactions between the Abiotic (without life) and Biotic (with life) factors in an environment.

Ecosystems are studied and are a matter of scale, small-to-large: Ecotone, Niche, and Habitat (the range in which a living thing can live), Biome and the Biosphere (i.e. the planet).

These Ecosystems also interact with each other and the Earth interacts with the solar system, galaxy, and universe around it.

Abiotic Mechanisms: Climate which includes precipitation & temperature, minerals and rock, UV radiation, Visible Solar radiation, location, non living organic molecules, dead animals and plants, CO 2, Oxygen and other gases, etc..

Biotic Mechanisms: Animals, Plants, Microbes, Bacteria, Viruses & Prions (okay these last two are debatable, but until the debate is solved I am putting them under biotic)

Food Chain: The single path an organism uses to gain substance. Example: Cow eats grass. What path and how an organism gets its food?

Food Web: The interactions between an organism and other organisms in an environment. Example: Cow and Goat compete over the grass. This is were the concepts of mutualism, competition, key species, and other key interaction concepts come in. What paths, how and why living things interact with each other to get their food? How living things regulate each other?

Food Web with Abiotic Mechanisms: This is basically the definition of Ecology. The big picture of how and why living things interact with their non-living factors? How Abiotic mechanisms regulate the biotic world.

I will defer all complex physics related questions to Al, since this is his area of expertise. I will also defer as much as I detest too, complex economic systems & market mechanisms to Jim Hayett since this is his area of expertise.

What I wrote today is pretty simple. There are many sub-disciplines within ecology, many of which are used professionally in Fisheries Management (FYI, Lake Michigan is the largest managed freshwater system in the planet), herd Management, Forest Management, etc…, very heavy on the population management side of the fence. Also, if you want to debate me on my opinion on how ecology is misused and the subject of ecology I suggest you do some more reading before coming back with an un-researched counter point. I have studied and worked in the field so I am talking from experience.

URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology\  actually, the Wiki is pretty good.

I want to leave you with a question, “What area or concepts of Ecology do “Free Market” proponents focus on the most?”

    I have my own philosophy, cannibalized from religions, politics, philosophies, science, art, history, and my life experiences, all of which are filtered through the 3 lb jelly constancy universe that is my brain. My experiences and my mental hardware helped to shape this philosophy; this philosophy changes and grows it is not a static concept and I am more than willing to change it if I realize my folly. My personal philosophy is a virtual structure, rigid in some parts but fluid in others. Here is some of what I cherish and acts as my guide:

-          All Humans Beings from every nation, every race, every religion, are equal and are born with intrinsic rights. I don’t care where people think the rights come from.

-          Everybody deserves a second chance after they make a mistake

-          Nobody should force their lifestyle on others

-          Government is a “tool”, it is a mechanism, it is nether good or bad

-          The fool or jester is wise, ignore their advice at your own peril

-          Study the lessons of History

-          Politics is no excuse to ignore rules of common courtesy

-          “Do unto others as you would do unto yourself” or “Prepare to be treated by me on how you treat me”. I realize it is a 2 way street.

-          My dog Thor thinks he is a “people”

-          Do not forsake your time “alive” on earth for ethereal non-material prizes

-          Deep-sixing your “idealism” is a ticket to cynicism.

-          Reality is not a fixed concept, because perception precedes it!

-          Truth? At least try to back it up.

-          Love your family and friends

-          Don’t waste your time hating others

-          Don’t call others victims while you consider yourself the “victim”

-          Not everybody’s situation is the same

-          Fight for what you believe in

-          Laugh at yourself

-          Perfection is an ideal but not a “rule”

-          Government and Corporations are big and imperfect

-          Ironies, especially when they happen to you, should be cherished

-          No philosophy, religion, government, person has all the answers

-          We know nothing, the vastness of the universe from where ever it came from dwarf’s us all

-          Clutch is the greatest band on the planet

-          People are animals

-          Never give up

-          The earth is our only home at the moment, try to give it a little respect while it lets us live on it

-          The “little guy” always has it worse than the “big guys” above him.

-          Don’t blame other’s for your short comings

-          ….more to added later!

 

So what are some of your philosophies?

Access to affordable healthcare, either through the “government” or through “government free market forces”, is a social responsibility and a civil right.

            After months and months writing on this subject it really comes down to a few simple moral and ethical considerations. Yes, there are monetary issues, and other mechanistic political, government, and corporate mechanisms, groups to blame for inaction and apathy on the subject. Tea Party Groups to blame for their new found fiscal and constitutional patriotism while they stayed silent when Bush was in office, using fear mongering and eliminationist rhetoric to scare old people and intimidate the liberals they hate. What’s driving these people to throw their fellow Americans under the bus so easily?

  Yet, through all this I really never realized the mean spirited greed and selfishness of the anti-Obama anti-government groups. They are more than willing to let American’s who are not able to get affordable health insurance in a supposed “Free Market” die of a pre-existing condition, having their insurance dropped when they need it the most, or have their care denied for some profit making reason. All of these things only benefit those on top of the health insurance corporations in the form of profit for the CEO’s and their stockholders.

Is it in order to satiate their anti-government anti-liberal agenda?  Is this more important than providing a choice to those who are not as well off as they?

    For 12 years the rightwing had congress, and Bush was in office for 8 years, and they took absolutely no actions or responsibility to enact “for profit health insurance market” reforms. They had the power and the control. In fact when they had the chance with Medicare they took away the federal government’s ability to leverage costs with Big Pharma for cheaper drugs and  they gave the control to fix prices to the Drug Corporations and away from government and the people they represent.

    A decision that is and was so anti-competition that it still astounds me to this day!

Republicans, the champions of “free market capitalism” acting as price fixing whore’s for private enterprise. Who do these people represent, the rich and the powerful?

The overall picture is this: Americans who can not afford health insurance on their own or get health insurance from their employer are Second Class citizens! Americans who lose their health insurance when they get fired are Second class citizens! The working poor are second class citizens! Americans who are dropped from their insurance because they get sick are Second Class citizens. Children who do not have insurance, by no fault of their own, other than being born in the situation their parents put them in are Second Class citizens!

More importantly that your life and health issues, “beyond your control” depend solely on your Income and benefits provided by your employer and the good will of Health Insurance Corporations.

We do not live in a “free for all” and “survival of the fittest”, society were the weakest members are left to die and fend for themselves. We do not live in a society that is 100% free from, “Collective”, social responsibility. Yes I said it, just as a corporation is a collective given the same rights as an American; we as the United States of America are a collective as well.

Access to affordable Health Insurance for ALL Americans, in my view is a civil right. I believe it is an American’s social responsibility just as much as we pay taxes for our Military and Mutual defense.

 So far I have been lucky.

   I have a great family support structure, a good job with good benefits and good friends. I’ve worked hard for the things I have and I don’t ask for handouts. I collect my rain water to water my plants. I have my own garden, I buy local from local business and farmers. I’m frugal with my utilities and try to fix and make things myself around the house and reuse things that I can. I take responsibility over my personal health, I try to eat well but admit I need to exercise more. Anything deemed by an Insurance Panel a “Pre-Existing Condition” could wipe away much of what I worked for and Bankrupt me and when I need my Insurance the most it could be dropped, it’s not far, it is Unjust! To pay for a product in our supposed “free Market” by an industry that does not play by the same rules as most corporations.

 I can only imagine how this situation would be for people who have less than I do? Does this make them welfare pigs? Does this make their worth as a human being less than my worth because I supposedly “produce” more? Should Americans below a certain income status be barred from affordable healthcare? Should we live in a society were we enforce second class citizenship on those deemed, “welfare pigs”?

   Affordable access to good healthcare is a civil right and a matter of social justice for the weakest members of our society. Regardless if you think government should be involved or it should remain private, this issue has been festering since the early 1990’s and nothing has been done be it “market reforms”, increase regulations and up until Obama who found the political will to step in, “government intervention”.

 I wish government didn’t have to step in, but it has become clear that the “free market” was unwilling to provide affordable health insurance because it would decrease their profits and this proves their lack of social responsibility because they fixed their markets through politicians’ and are not held at that standard by consumers and American’s alike. Which is unfortunate, I suppose American exceptionalism only applies outside our borders.

 It is a civil right and a social responsibility.

Republican Control of Government excluding the Courts:

1995 = 0   Republican Congress

1996 = 0   Republican Congress

1997 = 0   Republican Congress

1998 = 0   Republican Congress

1999 = 0   Republican Congress

2000 = 0   GW Bush & Republican Congress

2001 = 0   GW Bush & Republican Congress

2002 = 0   GW Bush & Republican Congress

2003 = 0   GW Bush & Republican Congress

2004 = 0   GW Bush & Republican Congress

2005 = 0   GW Bush & Republican Congress

2006 = 0   GW Bush

2007 = 0   GW Bush 

2008 = 0   GW Bush 

First, Republicans lost big in 2008 because they failed the majority of Americans by providing Domestic legislation.

 Paul Ryan Finally Get’s It!

URL: http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/barney-frank-gets-paul-ryan-admit-repub#comment-1313822

The Link has the Video directly from Paul Ryan’s Mouth. CrooksandLiars is biased toward the left, but The Primary Source is a CNBC debate between Paul Ryan and Barney Frank.

FRANK: I just want to ask Paul one question. … When did you figure that out? Because apparently for the 12 years that the Republicans were in control — eight of which had a Republican president — that hadn’t occurred to you. So I’m glad you now understand that. Can you tell me at what moment the revelation occurred?

RYAN: First of all, I introduced on this subject about six years ago.

FRANK: You had control of the Congress. Why didn’t the Republican Congress fix it?

RYAN: I will have a moment of bipartisan agreement. We should have fixed this under our watch and I’m frustrated we didn’t.

- - - - - - - - -

So here we have it.

During the time when Republicans were voted in as majorities to use the power of government to fix domestic problems, the Republicans and the conservatives among them decided to ignore the issue of access to affordable healthcare for all Americans, providing for the general welfare as dictated by the Constitution and ignore the abuses of the for Profit system that is part of the Status Quo.

So ask yourself this, WHY should I, WE, trust any solution from the same people who ignored the problem when they were in power??

The answer is NO, the issue has been pushed on them, and issue they would rather have ignored and let the abuses of the system continue because it lines their pockets come election time. Ask Paul Ryan, in fact go to this website called OPEN Secrets and research the now LOYAL opposition against Healthcare Reform and a public option. URL: http://www.opensecrets.org/index.php

Republicans and Conservative Republicans had from 1995 to 2008 to try to make a difference, to level the playing field with market reforms that revoked Insurance Providers anti-trust laws, enacting regulation on the For Profit health insurance to stop abuses against their customers, and show ALL AMERICANS that they could provide the structure for a “free market” system that would both be fair and accessible.

It’s not that they Tried and Failed. They didn't even try!

It’s because they view government as the PROBLEM and not a tool to be used to FIX these problems. The Republicans had the legislative power and control to change things, but they squandered it, on what? You tell me.

I leave you with these two questions:

1) “Are Politicians who are philosophically against government effective legislatures?”

2) “If they are more effective legislators then how can you explain a lack of legislative action on the healthcare issue since 1995?”

O God, whom I praise,
       do not remain silent,

 ² for wicked and deceitful men
       have opened their mouths against me;
       they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

 ³ With words of hatred they surround me;
       they attack me without cause.

 ⁴ In return for my friendship they accuse me,
       but I am a man of prayer.

 ⁵ They repay me evil for good,
       and hatred for my friendship.

 ⁶ Appoint ^[a] an evil man ^[b] to oppose him;
       let an accuser ^[c] stand at his right hand.

 ⁷ When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
       and may his prayers condemn him.

 ⁸ May his days be few;
       may another take his place of leadership.

 ⁹ May his children be fatherless
       and his wife a widow.

 ¹⁰ May his children be wandering beggars;
       may they be driven ^[d] from their ruined homes.

 ¹¹ May a creditor seize all he has;
       may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

 ¹² May no one extend kindness to him
       or take pity on his fatherless children.

 ¹³ May his descendants be cut off,
       their names blotted out from the next generation.

 ¹⁴ May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD;
       may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

 ¹⁵ May their sins always remain before the LORD,
       that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

 ¹⁶ For he never thought of doing a kindness,
       but hounded to death the poor
       and the needy and the brokenhearted.

 ¹⁷ He loved to pronounce a curse—
       may it ^[e] come on him;
       he found no pleasure in blessing—
       may it be ^[f] far from him.

 ¹⁸ He wore cursing as his garment;
       it entered into his body like water,
       into his bones like oil.

 ¹⁹ May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
       like a belt tied forever around him.

 ²⁰ May this be the LORD's payment to my accusers,
       to those who speak evil of me.

 ²¹ But you, O Sovereign LORD,
       deal well with me for your name's sake;
       out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.

 ²² For I am poor and needy,
       and my heart is wounded within me.

 ²³ I fade away like an evening shadow;
       I am shaken off like a locust.

 ²⁴ My knees give way from fasting;
       my body is thin and gaunt.

 ²⁵ I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
       when they see me, they shake their heads.

 ²⁶ Help me, O LORD my God;
       save me in accordance with your love.

 ²⁷ Let them know that it is your hand,
       that you, O LORD, have done it.

 ²⁸ They may curse, but you will bless;
       when they attack they will be put to shame,
       but your servant will rejoice.

 ²⁹ My accusers will be clothed with disgrace
       and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.

 ³⁰ With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD;
       in the great throng I will praise him.

 ³¹ For he stands at the right hand of the needy one,
       to save his life from those who condemn him.

-------------------------

I don't think I need to add anymore to this. It proves itself.

Or maybe it will be Nancy Pelosi or Rachel Maddow or Tom Barret or any Prominent liberal for that matter.........

Who’s rhetoric will be part of the problem?

Who will  then deny they put fuel on the fire?

Who will play innocent?

We know who they are.

They know who they are as well.

  Most T-Shirts are made from 100% cotton which is comfortable. Cotton is the fabric of our lives becuase things you hear on TV are always true and the cotton industry which makes this comfortable fabric would never lie becuase the fabric is comfortable.

   If Cotton is comfortable and the "fabric of our lives" and since one of his policy czar’s said something about Mao, it is an undeniable, an unarguable FACT that Obama is a Nazi!

  I mean Communist!

It’s been said by Rush and other rightwing media mouth pieces as well as many local arch-centrists like Jim Hayett and rightwing extremists like Amy Hemmer that “Liberals are Destroying America!” and we “Are more dangerous than Islamic Terrorist!”

 Just think about those accusations and the comparisons made and we’ll get back to it later on. Ask yourself, what are the “real” implications of such statements? What would the logical conclusion to deal with this problem be if these statements were true?

 Well, I guess I should be the first liberal to actually admit that we are guilty of destroying America. That’s right the United States of America is being systematically destroyed by human beings and citizens of this country who are Liberal’s. Stop separating us from the political philosophy. Being a liberal is part of my person and my life.

 I, Jacob Pickard, a living breathing human who loves, cries, laughs, get mad, and sad; I am a liberal.

………..Wait a minute now…….

 ….Let me tell you why before you fly off the handle……

……Let me explain the reasons we are destroying the America that the rightwing has loved the past 8 years under GW Bush.

The Republican America that lied us into the Iraq War using the fear of 9/11 as the aggressor nation, the invader, were thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians have been killed.

The Republican America that allowed it’s president to use torture and then defend that torture, ignoring international law and the basic concept of Human rights and American exceptionalsim which up until that point, was held dear and justified are fight against Islamic terrorism.

The Republican America that gutted regulation and gave wall street free reign to destroy itself in an orgy of greed and throw millions of Americans out of work and into poverty and then as a last dagger bailed out their wall street goons with our collected tax money.

The Republican America that even with a congressional Majority from 1995-2006 and the Presidency for 8 years ignored the plight of millions of Americans, left to die and go bankrupt due to the lack of access to affordable healthcare insurance and left at the mercy to the abuses of the for-profit Private Insurance industry.

The Republican America that has let the nation’s infrastructure crumble and our inner cities rot.

The Republican America that empowered the arch-conservative liberal haters to scream, bash, and dehumanize with anybody who disagreed with.

The Republican America with the Republican Congress who rubber stamped the Republican President’s agenda who gladly gave up their constitutional duty of oversight of the executive branch to Party and Ideological Loyalty.

The Republican America who hate’s government so much they are willing to destroy the domestic general welfare of the citizens of this country for their ideology.

Most of all, we are out to destroy the Republican America who’s values have defined that the quantity of Liberty, Freedom, and Political Power and value of an American citizen is equated to our wealth, income, and ideological purity.

Your America was realized with 12 years of congressional control and a Republican President for 8 years. Your America was realized, but now it is being destroyed, and you are scared. Your America has failed.

When accusations of being anti-American and a traitor starting flying if you were against going into Iraq, I laughed it off. When I was called a traitor I laughed it off. Being called socialists, communists, being referred to as Nazi’s, Marxists, baby killers, etc… There’s only so much you can take as a human before the joke grows thin and you realize the people who say these things actually really believe it, then the laughter stops.

Liberals have been accused of everything from supporting terrorists and being baby killers for our support of abortion rights, by the Jim’s and Amy’s of the world who believe they are morally and ethically justified. Through their ideology, religion, which they believe gives them an innate superiority, to throw out basic respect to another persons views and practice treating Liberals and other people who they view as inhuman, subhuman inferior pieces of garbage, not fit for respect.

 To the Rush’s, Ann Coulters, and blogger wanna-be’s, “liberals” are nothing more than vermin.

 In my last Blog “Real American’s Like You and me”, I wrote it channeling the “Real Americans” as Sarah Palin put it. We all know what she meant. She meant that the “Real Americans” are those who share her religious and conservative values, which leaves everyone else who doesn’t as what? Un-Real Americans!

 So as an experiment I put myself in their shoes and took comments that have been said since Barak Obama has been elected, from these blogs to the entire rightwing media landscape and came up with an archetype of a “Real American”. Wasn't it absurd? Could anybody really think that way?

   I think I fell short in expressing what Sarah Palin’s, “Real American” archetype hates more than anything else in the world, even more than Fidel Castro or Osama bin Laden.

 Simply and sadly they hate Liberals, from the policies we endorse, to the philosophy we live, and the people who are. It’s simple and circular and they need to stop trying to rationalize this hatred and recognize it for what it is.

 So did you think about my earlier questions?

What are the implications of such statements?

What would the logical conclusion be if these two statements are true?

These words and statements no matter how momentarily useful to bash me and others: ““Liberals are Destroying America!” and we “Are more dangerous than Islamic Terrorist!” and are “anti-American!”. These statements are Eliminationist rhetoric and this rhetoric leads to dehumanization of the subject and eventual violence against them.

The implication is that Liberals are enemies of this country, as enemies we can be considered combatants and dangerous. Currently our nations imprisons and kills our enemies in other nations, as well as traitors and enemies within if found. The Amy’s and Jim’s of these blogs and the country consider me and anyone who shares my views as an Enemy.

If liberals really are destryoing America, only one logical conclusion can be drawn on how to deal them.

(11/5/09 6:30am edited for content)

We all know that liberals and liberal Democrat are worse then the Islamic terrorists and that they are destroying America!

We all know that liberals are really socialists and one step away from Marxists and communists, if not already!

We all understand that liberal’s can do nothing but lie and attack, they know nothing about data, logic, reason, and “facts”!

We all know that liberals enjoy the idea of aborted babies, making them no better than murderers, while they protect murderers, rapists, and terrorists! They actively go out for their votes! Its common knowledge that area’s with higher crime rates vote for the democrat, these people must all be criminals.

We all know that people who are liberals do not deserve to breath and take away the air of Real Americans!

Americans like us who love our country unconditionally, who stood behind our president in war time and kept us safe after 9/11. Americans like me who even if we dislike your neophyte Barak Hussein Obama , We the Real Loyal Opposition and we’ve treated your neophyte Chicago Thug Barak Hussein Obama, better than you liberals in his 9 months as president than you gave the glorious GW bush in his 8 years. The mean hateful names you called Bush and your non-loyal opposition, he’s no Hitler. Why do you hate the troops! Our opposition is far better than your anti-American opposition which was closer to treason than our Real Loyal Opposition!

Americans who are god fearing Christians, because in real America we believe in freedom from government no matter what the cost!

So what should we do with people who are liberal? What is the solution, a final solution to fix these America Destroying Liberals! The traitors in our midst!

Unfortunately because the freedoms in our democracy which real Americans protect and the laws that protect them, we can’t be like Iran or China. We could just lock-em-up and throw away the key. Execute the loud ones to scare the rest of these vermin to SHUT-UP!

We’ve tried elections but that darn liberal media brainwashed every non-real American in our great country to overwhelming elect your Dear Leader Neophyte Chicago Thug Man-child Barak Hussein Obama and his fellow Marxists into power! Hey Kenya! You can take your village idiot back now, we already have our own! Stupid McCain, he was far too liberal! Rush was right when he didn’t support him before he supported him.

 So when we take power again we’ll make it even harder by setting up more hurtles for those non-real Americans to vote for their communist leaders. We need a 1,000 year Republican Majority like Karl Rove wanted, god bless Turd Blossom. Tyranny of the Majority, you haven’t seen anything yet! It’s an eye for an eye!

Don’t get me started on those “death panels” that Sarah Palin uncovered in her research. The second I heard of them I took my Granny off Medicare right away and barricaded her in the house and armed her to the teeth. No Maoist Kool-Aid drinking “death-panel-o-crat” is going to pull the plug on granny! It almost reminded me when GW Bush told us to cover our houses in plastic and duck tape to protect us from Saddam Hussein chemical weapons that were to be delivered from remote airplanes. Those were the days; I had all my 35 guns ready to protect my America!

 Sorry I digress, here’s my list for what you need to be if you want to be a “Real American”:

1)      A real American is Christian. Not just any Christian but an evangelical fundamentalist conservative Christian. Who is against all abortion and against the separation of public education from Christianity!

2)      A real American is politically conservative and will only support Republicans who fit into our biblical and political philosophy!

3)      A real American believes in eye-for-an-eye Justice!

4)      A real American is against ALL taxes, except for the military!  

5)      A real American is against ALL public education! WHY! Because public education is communism. It re-distributes my wealth! And no Immigrants Real Americans are native only!

6)      A real American is against ALL welfare programs! Private donation is the best way. Feeding others people children! Disgusting let them starve and grab themselves by their boot straps!

7)      A real American knows that the money you make is yours and should only be shared if you feel like it. I personally don’t but some people are compassionate conservatives (Hahahahahahah). If this were true there would be no poor people.

8)      A Real American believes in super-individualism because I and all real Americans can go it alone all the time. A real American does not believe in handouts, unlike those lazy non-real Americans who live in the city. Criminals for taking my money.

9)      A real American knows that there is a Liberal Media Conspiracy run by George Soros. Real Americans only get their news from Fox News and WorldNet daily. Soon liberals will have full power and conservatives, via black helicopters, will be put into FEMA camps being built on the Mexican Borders. Your Nazi Hitler Marxist Dear Leader Neophyte Chicago Thug Man-child Barak Hussein Obama has already forced Fox News to sell itself to the government and it now your Terrorist lover Nazi Hitler Marxist Dear Leader Neophyte Chicago Thug Man-child Barak Hussein Obama’s propaganda arm.

10)   Finally, A Real American sticks by his beliefs no matter what the cost and that; We know that we are always RIGHT!!!

Well I hope I cleared it up for you. So all you anti-American moderates and liberals shut UP, your wrong!!!! 

There is only one REAL AMERICA. Love my America or leave it !!!!!

I asked Christian Democrat to write what her view of Christianity is for two reasons.

1)      The Christian Right in this country is loud and very vocal, because of this they not only drown out other non-rightwing Christian point-of-views, but at times seem to stereotype the entire religion and all the people who practice Christianity as intolerant and fanatical luddites against any “non-conservative” progress.

2)      I have seen how Jim Hayett of the blog “Fighting Liberal Lies” has unfairly attacked Christian Democrat for her handle, moniker alone and I feel she deserves an outlet to express her point-of-view in a format which she can say her piece first, without always having to be on the defensive.

A View from the Left

There are many sayings regarding Religion and politics. But one jumps out at me: Conservatives have stolen God from the Liberals. Maybe they have, but we still have Jesus.   (This is a bumper sticker – it is meant to be taken as such.)

Definition of Christian Left: The Christian Left holds that social justice, renunciation of power, humility, forgiveness, and private observation of prayer (as opposed to publicly mandated prayer), are mandated by the Gospel (Matthew 6:5-6). The Bible contains accounts of Jesus repeatedly advocating for the poor and outcast over the wealthy, powerful, and religious. The Christian Left maintains that such a stance is relevant and important. Adhering to the standard of "turning the other cheek", which they believe supersedes the Old Testament law of "an eye for an eye", the Christian Left often hearkens towards pacifism in opposition to policies advancing militarism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_left

A brief history about how I became a Christian Democrat: I have not always had Jesus in my heart. Although I was raised as a Catholic, my early adult years were not given to any faith. I was an unwed mother at the age of 20, floating from job to job, with no focus in my life. Then one day, my daughter was invited to church by a friend. My 8 year old child was the person that brought Jesus into my life. At this early age, she was drawn to the faith and I eventually followed suit. It was not until my early 30’s that I fell in love with Jesus. Now, His teachings guide me through life. Jesus is my Savior, born of this world, who lived by example, and died for compassion and grace. I strive to model my behavior after His, and to continue His work for the poor, the weak and the oppressed. I believe that He will judge me based on my actions toward others. This is a personal relationship, a mission, but it is not a religion to me. I am also a Democrat. I believe their platform most closely fits with my beliefs as a Christian, based on Jesus’ teachings. Here’s why:

Jesus honored the sufferers, the victims, and the lost.

 In Right Wing America, they honor the successful, the victorious, and the righteous.

Jesus glorified all, whether He agreed with them or not.

In Right Wing America, they shame the dignity of any that disagree with them.

Jesus taught his followers to embrace pacifism: to Love Your Enemy – "Here's another old saying that deserves a second look: 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: 'Don't hit back at all.' If someone strikes you, stand there and take it. If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your back, gift wrap your best coat and make a present of it. And if someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously”. Matthew 5:38/The Message Bible (A contemporary translation of the Christian Bible) http://bibleresources.bible.com/bible_message.php

Love Your Enemy: The topic of War. In times of conflict, diplomacy is the correct course of action, and military action should only be used as a defensive mechanism. This is not to say that our support should not be fully behind the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedoms and our safety; it merely indicates a desire for peace and good will instead of death and destruction of others. The Religious Right has become more Patriotic, more nationalistic then Christian in recent years, and it is getting more extreme during this new administration. No true Christian should believe that war is the answer; that choosing to seek peace and dialogue as a solution is a weak characteristic. This is a direct violation of Jesus’ teachings and an insult to His way of life.

In my opinion, when a powerful country uses military force to rain destruction upon another people, and then triumphantly boasts about it, that cannot possibly be God’s plan for us. A leader who believes war is his best weapon and embraces the fear it creates, is a leader whose Christianity, as well as that of his followers, needs to be re-examined. America’s arrogance over the past 8 years has undermined our respect within the world, it has ignited hatred against our people and it has gone against Jesus’ teachings in the Bible. President Obama is on the correct path for showing diplomacy to the world, for seeking peace with others, even if our philosophies do not agree - “If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.” Moshe Dayan, Israeli General & Politician.   (1915-1981) http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/2484.html

Blessed are the conquerors! No, Jesus said, Blessed are the peacemakers. "You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family.” Matthew 5:9/The Message Bible. For America to live peacefully with the world, it is respect, communication and peace that will show strength and goodwill; not arrogance, hostility, and fear. We cannot hope for what we are not willing to give in return.

Based on this philosophy, it is easy to surmise my views against Capital Punishment. Murder is a sin and those who commit it shall seek redemption or be lost. Forgiveness is possible, but redemption is not guaranteed. If a person brutally commits murder, then a lifetime of prison is warranted. Seeking forgiveness during that time is necessary to be saved. Taking a person’s life cannot be okay for the government if it is not okay for the citizens. This philosophy is not about morality, it is just common sense. 

The debate on Health Care reform is ongoing to this day. We have heard the arguments on both sides and concern for the current process is warranted. However, the millions of people who are uninsured need help. Until you have been in the position of not having insurance coverage, it is difficult to understand the dire situation this presents to the citizens of this country. I have been there. It is scary, it is humiliating, and it is devastating to a family. This country needs reform and we need it now. We can no longer sit by and allow our fellow neighbors to be without the basic medical care (preventative medicine, prescriptions and emergency care) they need or the ability to pay for it. We need to address the problems and find a solution. This means reigning in the private for-profit Insurance Companies abuses of the system, who fight against a Public Option which would allow for competitive premiums, and taking a careful look at the examples set by other countries and incorporating their successes. It can be done. If the political games are put aside, it can be done right.

The most common question asked of the Christian Democrat concerns abortion. It is the subject that I am most vilified for, and that raises the most ire from the Right, including members of this blog site who have attacked me for this very subject. I want to make clear from the start – I am not Pro-Abortion. Actually, I do not believe such a stance exists. No one considers themselves Pro-Abortion. The correct term is Pro-Choice. There are many layers to this debate.

While I do not agree with abortion, I do believe in the Separation of Church and State. The government should not dictate moral views on the citizens of this country. Abortion is a moral issue – the legitimacy of whether abortion is murder or not. People need to be respectful of the fact that not all citizens of this country are Christian, therefore not sharing the same moral beliefs. Abortions will not stop, we only need to look prior to 1973 to confirm that. The current law states it is permissible, and if it were not – we would only revert to back alley destructions harming the woman of this nation. Striving to limit the number of abortions needed is the best course of action, not persecuting those in dire situations that feel they have no choice. Our society has moved towards protecting our children from the embarrassment of discussing birth control and sex. Perhaps if we gave them the knowledge and protection they need, we would not have a high teenage pregnancy rate. When did parents become afraid to talk to their children? It is our duty as a country to accept others beliefs. While it is my duty as a Christian to minister to others, it is not the duty of the government to dictate moral views. One thing is very clear though: The hate-filled signs, angry protests, God fearing threats and killing of doctors are not making a good argument for Christianity.

As for immigration, the Bible speaks for itself: "When a foreigner lives with you in your land, don't take advantage of him. Treat the foreigner the same as a native. Love him like one of your own. Remember that you were once foreigners in Egypt. I am God, your God.” Leviticus 19:33/The Message

The issue of gay rights is as inciteful as the abortion topic to those on the Right. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin, as is adultery, lying, kidnapping, murder, stealing, etc. Every sin in the eyes of God is equal. Why then, does the Christian Right hold homosexuality at a higher level of disgust then they do an adulterer or a liar? It seems hypocritical to me. But it does once again come back to whether America should be ruled by the Christian Bible. We should respect the rights to Freedom of Religion and freedom of lifestyle. A person’s worth cannot be based on their faith. This is a moral issue, and I will not pass judgment on others for their choices in lifestyle. It is not against the law, there is no punishment warranted in this country. These are American citizens that deserve every right to live their lives peacefully, lawfully and without hate.

We hear the question from the Christian Right: WWJD – What would Jesus Do? Here’s a thought: How about What Jesus DID? He loved and cared for the poor. He embraced the woman caught in adultery, the prostitute condemned by others, the criminals next to him on the Cross. He prayed alone, not seeking attention in public. He commanded us to love our enemies, and he urged us to embrace peace. He lived among the sinners, the tax collectors and outcasts, seeking to bring love and guidance to all, especially those in need. His condemnation was aimed at the religious leaders who imposed their rules and looked down on others, from their place of privilege. If the Christian Right were truly concerned about how to respond to the global issues facing us today, and were to search their Bibles for the answer, they would find clear indications of what Jesus would do. It would not look anything like what they are currently doing. For those professing to be Christian to mock the teachings of Jesus and to put their patriotism; their love for this country, before their faith, this is a true sin. To respect the choices of our fellow neighbors, to live in peace and strive for fellowship among our peers; this is the focus all Americans, regardless of politics, should have. Not tearing each other down, mocking our fellow man, and hoping for the failure of our elected officials.

It doesn’t even need to be about faith or politics, how about we just act like decent human beings?

As a Christian, I seek to minister to others and to grow in my relationship with Jesus. As a Democrat, I seek to love and care for the poor, the weak, and the lost; and do so with compassion and forgiveness. To me, there is little difference between the two.

Studies estimate that the number of excess deaths among uninsured adults age 25-64 is in the range of 22,000 a year.  This mortality figure is more than the number of deaths from diabetes (17,500) within the same age group.8

A year-long investigation by a subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce found that three major U.S. insurance companies, WellPoint Inc., Assurant Health and United HealthGroup, canceled nearly 19,800 customer policies between 2003 and 2007.

Insurance companies are, by law, allowed to rescind policies for customers who found to have purposely lied or omitted information from their policy applications. But some of the rescissions the subcommittee found were for seriously ill people who had simply made mistakes on their applications.

The committee found that the companies saved more than $300 million as a result of the rescissions. One WellPoint employee, the committee said, was awarded with a perfect performance appraisal after saving the company $10 million.

Mark Robison, of Santa Rosa, Calif., said Blue Cross canceled his policy after claiming that he knowingly omitted information about his then 8-year-old son having an undescended testicle.

Access to an emergency room for uninsured patients does not qualify as access to coordinated care.  While physicians are required to stabilize patients in an emergency, they are not required to treat the condition comprehensively. 13

The large majority of the uninsured (85 percent) are native or naturalized citizens.6

Lack of insurance compromises the health of the uninsured because they receive less preventive care, they are diagnosed at more advanced disease stages, and once diagnosed, tend to receive less therapeutic care and have higher mortality rates than insured individuals.9

On average, the uninsured are 9 to 10 times more likely to forgo medical care because of cost and twice as likely to have medical debt. 9

The uninsured are increasingly paying “up front” -- before services will be rendered.  When they are unable to pay the full medical bill in cash at the time of service, they can be turned away except in life-threatening circumstances.12

Nearly 1.1 million part-time workers lost their health insurance in 2008. 1

Over 8 in 10 uninsured people come from working families – almost 70 percent from  families with one or 7 

The percentage and the number of uninsured Hispanics was 31 percent and nearly 15 million in 2008.1

National health expenditures are expected to increase faster than the growth in GDP: between 2008 and 2018, the average increase in national health expenditures is expected to be 6.2 percent per year, while the GDP is expected to increase only 4.1 percent per year. 1  

According to one study, of the $2.1 trillion the U.S. spent on health care in 2006, nearly $650 billion was above what we would expect to spend based on the level of U.S. wealth versus other nations.  These additional costs are attributable to $436 billion outpatient care and another $186 billion of spending related to high administrative costs. 3

Over the last decade, employer-sponsored health insurance premiums have increased 131 percent. 4

The cumulative increase in employer-sponsored health insurance premiums rose at four times the rate of inflation and wage increases during last decade.  This increase has made it much more difficult for businesses to continue to provide coverage to their employees and for those workers to afford coverage themselves.4

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that job-based health insurance could increase 100 percent over the next decade.7  Employer-based family insurance costs for a family of four will reach nearly $25,000 per year by 2018 absent health care reform.7

Economists have found that rising health care costs correlate with significant drops in health insurance coverage, and national surveys also show that the primary reason people are uninsured is due to the high and escalating cost of health insurance coverage.8

A recent study found that 62 percent of all bankruptcies filed in 2007 were linked to medical expenses.  Of those who filed for bankruptcy, nearly 80 percent had health insurance.9

According to another published article, about 1.5 million families lose their homes to foreclosure every year due to unaffordable medical costs.10

Without health care reform, small businesses will pay nearly $2.4 trillion dollars over the next ten years in health care costs for their workers, 178,000 small business jobs will be lost by 2018 as a result of health care costs, $834 billion in small business wages will be lost due to high health care costs over the next ten years, small businesses will lose $52.1 billion in profits to high health care costs and 1.6 million small business workers will suffer “job lock“— roughly one in 16 people currently insured by their

For the liberal biased review URL: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/5/789941/-Wingnuts-Rewriting-the-Bible-to-Make-it-Less-Liberal

Source URL: http://conservapedia.com/Conservative_Bible_Project

Highlights:

1. Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias
2. Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop;^[4] defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle".
3. Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning
4. Exclude Later-Inserted Liberal Passages: excluding the later-inserted liberal passages that are not authentic, such as the adulteress story
5. Prefer Conciseness over Liberal Wordiness: preferring conciseness to the liberal style of high word-to-substance ratio; avoid compound negatives and unnecessary ambiguities; prefer concise, consistent use of the word "Lord" rather than "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" or "Lord God."

Benefit Highlights:

          -   benefiting from activity that no public school would ever allow; a Conservative Bible could become a text for public school courses

             - liberals will oppose this effort, but they will have to read the Bible to criticize this, and that will open their minds

  OMG! I had absolutely NO idea that the King James Version of the Bible was liberally biased!

  I suppose Leviticus saying that homosexuals should be killed is not good enough, maybe they need to jazz it up and burn gay people at the stake!

     I was going to publish a blog of worth today, but this is absolutely hilarious.

     I had no idea I was supposed to absorb free-market capitalist principles in Sunday school.

    So why then did Jesus not ask for payment after he cured that leper? He provided a service.

     Man, Jesus could have been rich and then gave to charity! Jesus and his disciples could have incorporated themselves. Man, seriously, why did Jesus do all those miracles for free, unless of course it had a marketing purpose?

Honestly, the one book, the absolute moral authority of the right in this country is liberally biased! I never thought to even think of it, seriously it’s so ridiculous that a group of conservatives believes that the Bible is liberally biased they literally have to re-write it. I really thought I have seen everything, but it’s so sad it’s funny.

 Maybe they will rename Satan to Barak Obama? You know to get rid of the liberal bias.

“Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention”

URL: http://www.newsmax.com/john_perry/

NewsMax Blogger John L Perry

Excerpts from John Perry's newsmax.com September 29, 2009 column entitled"Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention": There is a remote, although gaining, possibility Americas military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem. ... Officers swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to "obey the orders of the president of the United States." ...if you are one of those observant military professionals, what do you do? ... Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility? ... Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. ... A coup is not an ideal option, but Obamas radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.
