Why conservatives hate college The right's decades-long war on academia and "liberal professors" is about defining an elite "populists" can oppose

SPDF day 15: terribly sick last night and this morning. Arrived here on Capitol Hill by 7 a.m. I was on the hill yesterday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. The sickness is, I think, a self inflicted wound. Night before last I learned that my body can no longer tolerate a potassium tablet. I thought it could tolerate a magnesium tablet, but it turns out I am sadly mistaken. My stomach hurts like hell and I have waves of nausea. I have lost much of my strength but mercifully a hand truck I ordered arrived last night which makes it somewhat more possible to transport my stuff to and from Capitol Hill and this weekend to and from the White House.

and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be
more redemptive.

***** SPDF Day 14: I’M NOT LETTING ALL THAT IS GOOD GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.
Yes, of course I expect to make little or no difference. But I do think my death will somehow save one person in my Palestinian family over the next 20 years or so. And that alone is worth the price to me. But there is a prayer, as minuscule as it is, that by showing the only way to avert the world's calamities, the death fast, voluntarily paying the price of our own life so that another, or others may have one, that by doing this, another, others, someday may follow. Thereby taking the chance for a future worth living for my human family from zero to something more than that. Is that worth my life? A million times if I could offer it.
***** SPDF Day 14: THE LAW OF SOCIAL CHANGE IS THE LAW OF SUFFERING, OF PAYING THE PRICE.
Social change happens when enough suffering has been seen to occur, or seen to be likely to occur, that previously passive onlookers cannot stand the pain, get off the sidelines, and massively apply pressure to their leaders to bring the pain to a stop. Apartheid South Africa. Slavery in America. Women's suffrage. Tahrir square Egypt. The civil rights movement. The liberation of India from the British.
Due to the total corruption of the US media and the US Congress by the American and Israeli Zionist lobby the Palestinian slaughter is somewhere between invisible to the all important US people, and totally corrupted in the picture that they are shown. They are not shown the innocent population being terrorized tortured tormented and terminated for 68 years. Unbelievably heroic freedom fighters. They are shown terrorists, backward Arabs, blood thirsty Muslims. Lies, horrible evil lies. But that is what the American public sees.
But congress, at least, can see people sitting and dying of death fast on Capitol Hill. And if they are white, disciplined, respectful, peaceful, dignified, it is more difficult to tar them with the Islamic terrorists brush. It is slightly more difficult to ignore them.
And there is this thing called the Internet. And with the Internet some one, or those, dying to save the life of even one Palestinian child, those doing so on Capitol Hill, can have some visibility to the rest of the world.
I have no doubt that the current probability given all the so called free Palestine activism in America, the current probability that the Palestinians will ever be free, restored to their full human rights, and avoid complete extermination, is zero. I defy anyone to on the basis of fact dispute that. That is 100% unacceptable to me.
The Palestinians are part of my family, part of my flesh and blood. I cannot accept, I will not accept, this probability. I have no doubt that by my giving my life to death fast here on Capitol Hill my life can count at least as much as one Palestinian child who they, and my fellow Americans, cannot see, I can accelerate the process by at least that one life. And I can think of no option available to me that I would rather take.
Israel is facing the same kind of struggle that many other countries have encountered -- between democracy and theocracy. Unfortunately, Israel has recently been headed in the wrong direction. I will again become a supporter of Israel when it lives up to the ideals in its Declaration of Independence by putting human rights and social justice above sectarian concern and treating its minorities as truly equal citizens.

***** SPDF day 14: are we really so sick, so degenerate, so pathologically self centered, that we think my life, our own life, even the life of our own children is the ultimate value to which everything else should be subordinated, in this year of 2015 when everything that is good and decent on earth is passing the final seconds when it can be saved? Really? In the face of a ecocide forever my life is more important than a chance to stop that? In the face of the final death of democracy in America my life is not worth giving now for that? Really? With the likelihood that in another 18 months another 2000 or more Palestinians will be slaughtered, with the certainty that millions of Palestinians every hour of every day will be, are being, terrorized, tormented, tortured, terminated... by the US, Israeli, goon squads, my life is not worth giving for that? Insanity. Disgusting degeneracy. Enough. Join me or keep your maudlin sympathy to yourself. Enough! Enough!!! Enough of this madness. More at start-loving.blogspot.com
SPDF Day 14: I visited my doctor this morning
SPDF stop Palestine death fast day 14: I visited my doctor this morning and she was wonderful. She seemed to understand what I was doing, unlike prior fasts I have been on. I told her I hoped she would help keep my mind going as long as my body does. I hoped she would check my blood work periodically and she agreed that that would be a good idea and she wants to and will do so. I am very grateful. My last fast by day 17 I was in the hospital with dehydration and dangerously low blood potassium. The other day I purchased potassium tablets, took one last night and was up half the night with a horrible stomach ache. Potassium taken either IV or by mouth on an empty stomach is very very very painful. I told my doc of this. She insisted on doing blood work today. And if and when she sees my potassium going lower she thinks she can get me tablets that will be much easier to absorb.
