Ding Dong the Hammer is Dead!

Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff. Mark that as two down and more to come. Isn't it just great when people begin to realize the problem with the Repubican Party. They have no morals. Well, actually that's wrong. They believe that they are moral and I do too. They are moral when talking about personal decisions: religion, gay marriage, tax breaks, etc. They look at the personal affects of such decisions in their light (not in other's though) and in doing so ignore that their economic policies have and are destroying our job market (outsourcing, etc. You'll probably mention that Clinton signed the NAFTA and WTO agreements, yet what has Bush done to repeal them when it was found that they most certainly hurt us in the long run?), repealing our freedoms, and making a fool of us on the world stage.

Republicans believe in serving persons first and others second. They give contracts to companies whose former CEO is our VP. He profits from this through his large stock holdings in the company. Morally, they believe that gay marriage is wrong because their religion tells them so. In acting on this, they rob others of the right to their own non/religious beliefs. They benefit the most from tax cuts and tell us that if they benefit then we will benefit in turn. Wrong. Since when have we benefited from others being rich?

Ask the French. They'll tell you. At least they have the guts to stand up for what they believe in. What the hell happened to us? It's time we stand up for what we believe in. Now, not in '08, too much damage is occurring now. We need to cut off the head and the body will fall. Let's get started. I'll be waiting for you.

Reagan, Deregulation, and the Fruit It Now Bears

President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating. He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.

There's a Reason Why There Are No Good Politicians

That is to say there is a reason why there are no politicians with genuine interests at heart. Genuine interests can be defined as points of view on which you are inflexible to opposition. For instance, you are either for human rights or you're not for human rights. You don't have to be AGAINST human rights necessarily to not be for them. Politicians are not political activists. A political activist's interest is the success of a point of view. A politician's is not. There comes a point where a political activist, which I believe all worthwhile politicians begin as, cease to be an activist for an issue and begin to be a politician whose focus is politicking. There are of course politicians from different lines of work, particularly corporate America, but that plague is best left for discussion at a different time. The crux of the difference between an activist and a politician is flexibility. Activists are inflexible on their positions. Politicians are born o...
