#CorpSpeak: "Jefferson Was Right" about the dangers of corporations and of the Supreme Court - TT's Lost in Tokyo
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to to George Logan, 1816

Entitled
Piers Morgan - CNN.com Blogs
Jack Welsh was on Piers Morgan tonight. I swear if I hear one more billionaire blame the Wall St Meltdown on poor people thinking they were #Entitled to a place to live - I will vomit in a bag and mail it to them
They hoard the wealth at the top but the blame they want to share with us.
I never felt entitled. I felt like I was working harder & making less. I was downsized & outsourced and fighting to keep a roof over our heads.
I think it's time that pampered class feel some pain. Maybe THEY'RE the reason the US can't compete in a global market. America was built by genius innovators who believed in America an invested not just money but heart & soul.
This group of Grecian Formula clones have never actually gotten their hands dirty. They can't build anything. They are 3AM gamblers on a losing streak, blaming everybody else and asking for one more roll of the dice.

He Didn't Start the Fire (Sung to Billy Joel)
Banks gamble high stakes
Playing games with Real Estate.
They demand a hand out
Bush TARP bailout
Detroit is going bust
Trickles down the rest of us.
Stock prices hit the ground
Wall Street Meltdown
Now Obama's President
But that's not the end of it.
Tea Party activists
Paid for by the corportists.
Fillbuster Health Reform
John Birchers are Reborn
They deny he's President
Claim illegal resident.
Chorus:
He didn't start the fire
And he's tried to fight it
His hands tied behind him.
He didn't start the fire
And we'll never fight it
Unless we stand united
Fox's mighty smear machine
Add new players to the team
Glenn Beck's blackboard
Helps the haters keep score
Glenn outlines crazy plots.
His fans connect the dots
Gabby Giffords lies on bed
With Palin's bullets in her head.
Arab Spring, Birth Form,
Nerd Prom, Memphis Storm,
Seals take Osama down,
Bibi strolls into town,
Irish Pub long lost kin,
Ping Pong Parliament,
World leaders at G8
UN Libya debate.
Chous:
We didn't start the fire
But it's gonna keep growing
With the evil they're sowing.
We didn't start the fire
But we'll have to fight it
And we stand united.
Sarah Palin fading flame
Wants to play a Biker game
But the Thunder she can't steal
From the sound of Harley wheels.
Obama's onhe Joplin streets
Comforting the folks he meets
Later when he starts to speak
He's preaching to the preachers.

Clinton, Republicans agree to deregulation of US financial system
Clinton, Republicans agree to deregulation of US financial system
THEY LOBBIED LIKE IT WAS 1999
A little history lesson from the rear view mirror.
The proposed deregulation will increase the degree of monopolization in finance and worsen the position of consumers in relation to creditors. Even more significant is its impact on the overall stability of US and world capitalism.

Cornel West's tragic meltdown
Read this great piece by Joan Walsh in Salon.
My comment:
We see what happened when Republicans choose party loyalty instead of "Country First" We also know what happens when Democrats splinter and decide to support Ralph Nader. As much as I like to flirt with the New Left/Progressives - I'm a Detroit raised, Bread and Butter, Union Democrat. Sometimes the conddescending tone of the elitist wing gets under my skin. But so does my big brother's know it all attitude. Democrats are a big, noisy, family that all think they're the "favorite". We need to stop fighting over the skimpy menu and put more food on this table. Our kids are hungry.

The Hand That Feeds You: The OTHER Obama Derangement Syndrome
The Hand That Feeds You: The OTHER Obama Derangement Syndrome
You MUST READ THIS! How the Left is it's own worst enemy.
I'm not an Obama apologist - and what a Frank Luntz kind of castrating term - shame on any lefty that uses it. I'm a loyal supporter. I am more pleased with my vote today than when I cast it. President Obama has managed to stay three moves ahead of the rest of us while being handcuffed by Banksters extortion, MSM slander, real threats to himself and his family and Democrats who are as spineless as the Republicans say we are. God bless Obama if he's willing to stick with us till we grow up.
You MUST READ THIS! How the Left is it's own worst enemy.
Throughout Obama's first two years, we the people who did elect him largely sat on our hands expecting to be saved. Perhaps we had become so inured to the imperial nature of the Presidency within the Bush years that we forgot that there are other requirements of citizenship between ballots. As we continued to do nothing and the opposition used slick, manipulative marketing to energize hundreds of thousand of idiots, the Washington Post asked "Is Obama Betraying The Left?" The New Statesman published "Obama: The Betrayal?" It goes on and on and on.It wasn't the Progressive elites who showed up in Wisconsin to push back against the forces of tyranny. It was the bread and butter, blue collar working folks of Wisconsin. For us being a Democrat isn't trendy - it's survival. And for those who don't have the time to fight for their democracy - it's not like laundry that you can postpone. Democracy requires patriotism.

Books and covers
Not every Muslim is a terrorist.
This one, Salman Taseer (far right in the picture) is a martyr:
A police official takes the thumb print of Aasia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who has been sentenced to death for blasphemy, on an affidavit stating her innocence after she was visited by the Governor of the Punjab Province Salman Taseer (R) at the central jail in Sheikhupura, Punjab Province, on November 20, 2010.
The Punjab governor, Salman Taseer was shot by own bodyguard, who opposed reform of Pakistan's blasphemy laws. It is dangerous to be a moderate in the Muslim World.
Not all Christians are saints. This Christian was a terrorist:
Hitler wth Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, the papal nuncio in Berlin, 1935
On April 20, 1939, Archbishop Orsenigo celebrated Hitler's birthday. The celebrations, initiated by Pacelli (Pope Pius XII) became a tradition. Each April 20, Cardinal Bertram of Berlin was to send "warmest congratulations to the Fuhrer in the name of the bishops and the dioceses in Germany" and added with "fervent prayers which the Catholics of Germany are sending to heaven on their altars."
Atheists are not without guilt. This atheist freed the people from the opiate of religion but he was a terrorist:
Under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, tens of millions of ordinary individuals were executed or imprisoned in labour camps that were little more than death camps. Perceived political orientation was the key variable in these mass atrocities. But gender played an important role, and in many respects the Purge period of Soviet history can be considered the worst gendercide of the twentieth century.
It's not the religion or the lack of it, it's not the gun or the lack of it - the problem is older and deeper than that.
