THIS ... Is Our Future
For my friends who consider themselves 'centrist' or even those who consider themselves 'conservatives' to any degree I ask you to PLEASE watch the following. I know it will be hard because you have all been convinced that Keith Olberman is some sort of "Leftist" "Radical". He isn't. Please watch and think about Keith's prophetic words. The 'Citizens United vs. FEC' decision by the Supreme Court was truly apocolyptic for our country. But, by the time it dawns on the conservatives that the 'Jig Is Up' for THEM too, it will all be too late: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/vp/34985508#34985508

And You Thought Corporate Bribery of Our Entire Government Was Bad Before!
As the old saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" Welcome to Mussolini's America.
Due of the JUDICIAL ACTIVISM of 5 right-wing, corporate, Republican-nominated, Supreme Court justices our country has officially become a FASCIST state ... as defined by the originator of that term, Benito Mussolini prior to WWII. Fascism means a condition where the interests of the goverment are defined by corporations. ((Dictionaries printed after 1987 have changed the definition of the term.)) ((This decision is so pernicious, in part, because our lives didn't change on January 21, 2010 like they did on 9/11. The sun still came up and went down. We didn't notice anything but, LIKE CANCER, the problem is growing and festering outside our daily awareness ...)) ((Our wimpy Dems are now calling it "Corpocracy"...))
Spearheaded by 'corporate-personhood' champion Chief Justice John Roberts, today's decision eliminates ALL ... ANY... governmental restrictions on corporations and their influencing (corrupting) of our politicians and government. Corporations can now pour any amount of money into our campaigns, politicians and elections under the guise of "free speech" because a corporation now has the same rights (and MORE!!!) as a "natural" person.
So, what good will your $10, $20, $50, $100, $1000 campaign donation do when your donations are drowned out by the BILLIONS of dollars from corporations? (Nothing!)
This "Citizens United vs. FEC" decision is better explained in the following: http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/145322 Or, this video:

If people want to "be afraid, be VERY afraid!!" then this is a genuine reason to do so.
A TRULY SAD DAY FOR America ...

Is It OK With You If AMERICAN Prosecutors CREATE ....
and actually USE .... FALSE evidence IN COURT in order to convict?
If the answer isn't instantly and absolutely clear to you, here is something for you to consider:
http://mim.io/dae02?fe=1&pact=539789054.
To me, this practice is absolutly UN-American and contrary to everthing our Justice System is supposed to represent .... to us and the world.
I e-mailed, called, faxed and wrote President Obama. How about you?

NW253 Terrorism Incident ... "Systemic Failure" ... Playing Politics
Cong. Pete Hoekstra and Sen. Jim DeMint USE the NW253 terrorism incident to raise cash and block Obama's proposed TSA chief because, he guesses, the nominee might allow the TSA to unionize: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#34626219
"Systemic Failure": Listen to the intellectual dishonesty used in purposefully misconstruing Janet Napolitano's comments about the RESPONSE to what happened on NW253 and how the incident came about in the first place .... and listen to the hypocritical comments by Tom Ridge, John Ashcroft, Pat Buchanan about trying the NW253 perpetrator IN A FEDERAL COURT... & their torture fantasies: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#34626109
12/31/09: "Record Scratch" I call it "FACT CHECK" ----Dick Cheney speaks out in outrage against Obama in relation to the NW253 case but somehow FORGETS his and the Bush administration's OWN handling of the "Shoe Bomber" .... Cheney & Bush ignore the FACTS about Irag, Afghanistan and the 'No Fly List' ... and 9/11 ... and how we shouldn't try NW253's 'Perp' in U.S. Federal courts: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#34637162 . Or, this viewpoint: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#34636630

Paying for Our Wars .... Bush Style
Lawrence Korb writes about our "War on Terrorism" in Iraq and Afghanistan:
"The direct costs of funding these conflicts now totals about $1 trillion while the indirect costs will probably amount to $5 trillion when one adds in veterans benefits, long-term care of the physically and mentally wounded, and interest on the national debt. President Bush, who inherited a budget surplus from President Clinton, not only did not raise taxes, he cut them, and squandered the surplus while accumulating more debt that all of his 42 predecessors combined, almost all of which was borrowed from countries like China.
Not drafting people or raising taxes to pay for these conflicts is both a moral and a security failure. " Read the whole article at:

H. Ross Perot .......... HOW INCREDIBLY CLAIRVOINT!
"GIANT SUCKING SOUND" is how, in 1992, H. Ross Perot described how outsourcing of American jobs would accelerate if we didn't stop the policies of Reagan, Bush 1 (and Clinton!).
This 2.5 minute clip pretty much says it all: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5f2_1183680135&p=1
