Third Parties and the Election of 2012

Barack Obama's presidency has been a shameless sham. In 2008, the Obama campaign had the gall to accuse Hillary Clinton of having "Bush lite" aspirations, and then, incredulously, after winning the election, proceeded exactly in the manner of what they said Hillary's administration would have become. In fact, their famous "change" signs and slogans would have been more accurate if they had said "Bush lite." In some instances, Obama is even worst than Bush, setting additional dangerous precedents by bypassing laws, due process and the Constitution. For instance, Obama's rule is threatening first amendment rights in the Gulf of Mexico, by saying that citizens who take photographs of the environmental damage or otherwise survey the scenery can be charged with felonies. Like Bush, Obama's rule has been lax on environmental and banking/financial institution regulation (the proposed financial legislation that they support is watered-down Kool-aid), with too cozy relations with shady corporatists. The so-called peace candidate of 2008 is still continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the latter which we conditionally backed until it became clear through a recent Senate investigation that there was a half-hearted effort from the political brass from the get-go to catch OBL. Independents and third parties should electorally abandon Obama and the major parties. and find a coalition candidate for president in 2012.

Last Chance for Tradition

Hollywood liberals, in partnership with the national liberal intelligentsia, are determined to increase the spoils of victory that they have ridden on for the last quarter century, and, now, they are trying to run up the score by vanquishing the last remnants of social conservatism in America.  If Hollywood wins, America as we have known it since the Era of Theodore Roosevelt, or the Ragtime Era, will forever be lost, and once lost there will be no hope of return.  In this decade, we have reached the tipping point as the national liberal intelligentsia is trying to turn America up side down, hamlet by hamlet, town by town, city by city, and state by state until they capture all the hearts and minds.    Now, they and Hollywood are funneling money into the campaign chest of Adam Smith, hoping to keep out yet another small voice for traditional America, Mark Greene's voice, from reach...

Civilian Officials' Lies

Ex-President George W. Bush's provocative lies leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was highlighted on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC report ("Hubris: The Selling of the Iraq War"), tonight.  By time this essay is published, readers (especially, in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones, Alaska and Hawaii) should still be able to see a re-broadcast of the program from the beginning, later on this evening.  It, basically, shows or implies that officials like Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, and George Tenet were all lying about Iraq and using the lies as a pretense to lead America into war.  Building on what already has been conventional knowledge, the program showed that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.  As David Corn of Mother Jones magazine said, there have been no consequences for the criminal wrongdoings of these officials, such as being ha...

Persecution Follies

The Obama govt.'s heavy-handed prosecution of whistleblowers, or those people who uncover and tell the People about government wrongdoing -- or in the case of Bradley Manning (who released classified, though not top secret, information) about atrocities -- is unprecedented.  In effect, what the government is doing is trying to keep wrongdoing secret by threatening draconian-length prison terms to anybody who dares to let the nation know what's really going on.  Relating to these whistleblowers' uncovering of the truth, the American People are finally seeing the true face of this government and past governments, and it's not always good or righteous.
