Want to get out of Afghanistan? Attack OBAMA!!!! Duh!
This is our universal solution now, right? ATTACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because the alternative is just unacceptable - taking personal responsibility,
STANDING WITH our INSIDE SECRET - INCOMMUNICADO AGENT - OBAMA. Nah.
Scapegoating, whipping, blaming, arm-chair-quarterbacking -
just too damn easy.
OK. I give up.
Nah.

Healthcare Fight? Nay. Civil War has broken out, or is it to be a CIVIL ROUT?
Healthcare Fight? Nay. Civil War has broken out, or is it to be a CIVIL ROUT?
MUST READ: Republican demagoguery at its finest at BuzzFlash.com . But it is even worse than PM Carpenter, the author, says. THE RETHUGLICANS DO IT ON PURPOSE. Frank Rich exposes this in "THE WRECKING CREW." Each penny's worth of Social Justice is a penny out of the coffers of the CORP(ses) and Elite. 1920/30's Germans, nice folks like us, they DID NOT STAND AND STOP their eqivalent mob in time. Will we? NOW is the time to do so. September's fight is about a whole lot more than just Health Care. This is The Fight for The American Soul. All who are living and all yet to be born depend on our courage and commitment and vision and ACTION - today.

Ted's Death Now: One, Last, Undeserved Wake-Up Call for US
JFK's daughter Caroline was the last to speak at the Memorial for
Ted Friday (?) night. I'm uploading the entire evening in segments.
DON'T MISS IT. As a patriot, as a human, as a seeker - don't miss it.
Caroline ended her talk with her point - 'What Ted did, we all
could do, but because HE did it, we didn't have to. But now
Ted's gone. Now, it is up to us."
And so it is.
This article made me think of Caroline's words:
NOW, IT IS UP TO US. NOW.

Ted is HOWLING over the agony he just put Hatch, McCain and Bush through!
I've spent much of the weekend pulling down all of the CSPAN coverage of
all the Ted events and putting it back up on YouTube.com/StartLoving1 so it is always there,
and so as many folks see it as possible. Ted was never much on my
radar, and never all that favorable in my ignorance. Just one of my many blindnesses.
He was quite an example for us, I now see. Extraordinary. I know - duh.
In the process, I've gotten a chance to see the visuals real close.
My point? I think Ted is looking down and ROARING with laughter to
see how totally miserable he made Bush, Hatch, and McCain in
particular. They totally looked so totally out of place, so totally uncomfortable
with themselves. To be such horrible, small, mean folks against the
backdrop of so much love, and such a Big man as Ted.
I hope you've seen some of it, or do. It is a howl.
Truly, I think it may have occurred to them, "Hey, we're going to
die pretty soon. Do I really want to keep being such a disgusting,
mean, selfish, abusive, exploiting... creep? I mean, with or
without a God, Ted is going out pretty good. I'm going to look like
shit by comparison." Seriously, at least a tiny bit of this MUST
have occurred to them.
Jesus, or one of those guys talked about 'heaping hot coals" on an
adversary's head. WAY TO GO TED!
May we all follow Ted's lead. There is no other way to fix this place.

Ted K. too destroyed by Dems/Progressives: "Polling suggested Kennedy would beat Carter for the nomination until that day Chappaquiddick's skeletons were levied from the closet (by Dem naysayers, no less)." Now, LET'S FINISH OFF... OBAMA!!! (and then assume our rightful place in Hell.)
Obama's job approval rating falls to new low The president slips to 50% in the Gallup Poll, reaching that point more quickly than most of his predecessors did.

From Chester Campaign Days
Article 3 of 5; 1080 words
One man's battle to aid the children of Chester Source: Dan Hardy INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
Until recently, Jay McGinley, a 50-year-old former business executive turned passionate child advocate, enjoyed the comfortable lifestyle of a well-to-do suburbanite. In late October, however, driven by an anguished refusal to accept the suffering of children he worked with in the impoverished city of Chester, McGinley left his home in West Goshen Township, moved into his car and began a semi-starvation diet to express his outrage at seeing poverty in the midst of plenty.

On a mission to enrich students' lives Source: Dan Hardy INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
Jay McGinley has spent most of his adult life as a businessman, heading up company start-ups and corporate-turnaround efforts. A few years ago, however, hungering for a mission that was more meaningful than adding to a company's bottom line, the West Chester resident decided to apply his business-honed people skills to the field of education. Last fall, he was hired as a counselor at the 1,070-student Columbus Elementary School in Chester. "I've

"The Golden Rule (Gandhi): If it is not your fair share, don't take it (paraphrase)." SL
As Gandhi said it:
"The Golden Rule is to steadfastly refuse to have what millions cannot have."
This saying of Gandhi was a lightening bolt of Truth for me when first I heard it. But like so many
such "bolts" for me, their meaning can take years, even decades to unfold fully for me.
When we are young kids, aren't we told to take just our fair share?
And when does this stop being the Truth?
When does it stop feeling Divine

When should we have
forgotten this?

Crucify Obama?
His "brothers" ("Progressives"), not the Whites Murdered Malcolm X. It was not the fury of the White Establishment that killed Malcolm - but of HIS "BROTHERS" - that Malcolm was not "Leading" as they thought he should. Judas, a "follower," [a Fellow "Progressive"] put Jesus to death. We Progressives are going down this same path with President Obama. Is this REALLY what we think is the best way to achieve our goals?

Progressive work is HARD. Repug work is EASY. Why? Ever build a sand castle?
Ever build a sand castle? It COSTS hours, and hours, right? That it is enjoyable is besides the point.
Ever watch someone destroy another's sand castle? Takes seconds, costs them nothing and gives them an opium high, for nothing!
But that's only part of it. Rethuglicans, and their mob of mercenaries, aside from being sand castle destroyers by personality (disorder) ARE Thugs, ARE the Mob, ARE Mercenaries - it is how they make their Living! Really! They don't create wealth, they steal it through bullying, intimidation, cheating, cronyism.... EASY! Profession: Sand Castle Destroyer - and Paid for it.
Progressives (if there WERE True Progressives) bear two HUGE COSTS (although to the True Progressives, hmmm, remember the Joy of BUILDING a Sand Castle?): 1. The orders-of-magnitude-greater-effort/cost-of-building/creating, and 2. THE PERSONAL FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY COST! Rethugs are PRIMARILY motivated toward ill gotten $$$ Financial Gains (Corp favors at all levels, the "rape and pillage" awarded the hordes.... Progressives that Stay-the-Coarse FACE $$$ FINANCIAL PENALTIES / COSTS!!!!
A. Opportunity costs - hey, they could join the Rethugs and get $$$ returns on their time!
B. Unrewarded $$$ Time!
C. Penalties - the Rethug bullies will take it out on you, retribution, for opposing!!!
You get the idea.
This is a profound, fundamental difference that has a huge discouraging impact on Progressive investment (on BEING a True Progressive), in part because it goes on unrecognized.
Oh, would I that someone smart(s) would give visibility to this massive differential.
