"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to do well and hard."
Sometimes as well, listening to callers on radio shows, experts and activists in the news cable shows, and the disparity of information between the evening news national and international news. (Ok, I've got. Yes, I watch the news international, BBC, etc, etc. I have lived abroad for a while ', but I used to news of the real world.) My fellow Americans, what the hell iswrong with you?
You have been misled. Look who is running your government. Really listen to what I say. If you remember anything from high civics classes, it is likely to recognize his government is merrily stomping on your rights. Worse, they have an army of zombies, incredibly ruminate their lies, half truths and down right stupid comments, and teach your children that the deterioration of civil liberties is a goodit is needed for public safety. You are writing your papers, do, morning, noon and evening news, they serve and protect your cities and villages, teaching your children, your shopping bags, so your new roof, etc., etc. These people do not may be the sharpest tools in the shed, but they have saturated every part of your life, no matter where you live. These people are your modern center of the lower class Republicans. (I go to the upper halfclass, filthy rich and masters of the universe another diatribe.) devotees blindly, hopelessly blind vote on matters that do not really affect their lives less. Vote for a constitutional amendment against gay marriage, but homosexuals are like 1% of the population (and state where these brilliant people probably live even though it was forbidden).
Voted against abortion, that does not really concern them. If you do not wantabortion, they have to get one, they just have the right to prevent others from getting one. How does that make sense? You do not believe in abortion, so everyone should think like you? Okay, so you think that crime is not killed nobody, except the first murder other people (this is the death penalty for those who may be slow on the uptake). I see none of them visit their local town and march against the killing there. Then to declare themselves pro-life, theysupport cutting money for people who are struggling and in serious need of help. They say it is not the responsibility of the government for welfare, housing subsidies, medical services and similar to those who can not afford. I have heard that "pro-life until birth," which is incredibly appropriate. They support executions for murder, but do not want more gun regulation, because "guns do not kill people kill people." Then they have the courage, the sheerGallo, call themselves Christians. It makes me wonder if they ever actually studied the manner in which Christ lived, or concentrate and meditate on what Christ actually said in context.
Which is useless, absolutely no original thought, do not have the ability to think, evaluate and judge for yourself. History is full of such partnership who casually march to the beat of the drummer without considering where they are going. Well, I think it is appropriate forzombie crowd Republicans do not know where to go because they have no idea where they went. I hope to contribute in order to be provocative, by the beginning of a conversation, but one of my points where I feel I must, for the sake of my audience zombies, some basic principles to explain, so you do not understand what is dead I say. First, let's look at some basic federal laws, which replaces (preferred) the rules state. Let's look there?
AmendmentI
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or freedom of speech or the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
In case you do not know, this is the first amendment of the Constitution. I think it is important to break some of the fundamental laws of the Constitution, because it has become increasingly clear to methat the majority of Americans (especially those with "W" stickers on their cars) have no idea what the Constitution or its amendments, except the second one, actually says. Let's dissect this and it is.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..." This means that the state or federal, in the United States Congress (including the Senate in this case), or local (state) can not say "I am a born againBuddhists, for whom the local religion is Buddhism. "You can not force anyone to pray, but you can not stop praying all. This also means (for Nazi-liberals) can not stop a group of students of their own free will, want to meet in the cafeteria during lunch and the Bible -is none of your business for the same reason, a school can not determine the organization of a Bible that is not your job .. We just took care of the School of Prayer now. It also means that no moral law,because most of the time, you really keep your religious convictions of others. If most people decide that a fetus is a fetus, you have every right to disagree. You have no right to conclude that most of your company should respect your position. I've never seen a protester pro-life, do not ignore the Bible as their guide, then I came to the belief that pro-life people have come to the conclusion abortion is wrong because of their religious vision. Great!You have no right to force that view on Jane atheist, because it would establish your own religion. Get Over It and surpass themselves.
Before continuing, let me just say that I love the Lord. I pretend to Jesus Christ, Son of the living only as my personal Savior. I'll probably never have an abortion (never say never, who knows what tomorrow will bring). This does not mean that I have the right to those who believe as I do not speak to an abortion. What I can do is offeralternative for those who hunt them. I would curse my God, if I yell at everyone going to hell. According to my Bible, do not get to decide who goes to hell. I know that my Redeemer tend to hang around the types of sin, because they are more open to the truth. These types were called Pharisees just, you know the guys who went around pointing out all the "sinners" were wrong, while orchestrating the crucifixion. Sound familiar? L '-Continue to read.
"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech ..." Other than some aspects of the controversial Patriot Act (fully recommend that every reader a look at this piece of legislation, but only if you are able to do so with an open mind and unbiased view), where I know that Congress has passed laws official curtail freedom of expression. What some members of both Houses, however, have done is to ensure that any opposition to their particular point of view isportrayed as unpatriotic and "encourages the enemy ... ..." That bran, my countrymen, in and of itself, is clearly patriotic. In fact, I suggest that the resistance is against freedom of expression is a corruption of the fundamental freedoms that America is likely to. If you agree with opponents-end, your case, and prove to be strong through the debate that point you might be right. If you puff your chest, deepen your voice and argues thatthis speech is unpatriotic, probably will not have a leg to stand on. No matter how utterly inappropriate, the conspiracy drove the comments may be, as an American citizen, like it or not, you have an inalienable right-right do not agree with your government, and the same right to say. Any government that can not or will not tolerate dissent should be examined closely from top to bottom. As a group, organization, and so on can not bear a small ray of lightreduce the depth, it is likely that the organization has worked with corruption, deception and vice versa.
For the average citizen, you have no right to tell your neighbors of any expression of the political conception is patriotic. If you can not stand to hear your beloved leader has criticized, you may be more convenient to live in a country where dissent is not to say Iran? Oh, it's true! Iran is the enemy. Funny how some of us the same features as the countriesWe love so vile and repressive (and I'm not saying that Iran is different from what it is). If we are truly a "Christian nation" Maybe we should remove the beam from our eyes, before pointing to the sand in the eyes of others?
A more serious pet peeve I have is that they have the courage to say that any speech against the establishment disparaging "our troops." Look, I served my country for four years, not a huge amount of time, but more than that, from 1990-1994. I remember allTalking midday news on Somalia (Mogadishu, to be precise), for and against military action / inaction there. I do not remember a comment made me feel demoralized and unappreciated, nor do I remember one of my traveling companions, even a mention of the campaign. What I remember the young Marines who have come aboard our ships for some hot food and shopping in the warehouse of the ship. I remember the confusion about their mission and look in their eyes as he recalled how the children wheretaking pictures of them and tell them that their orders could not return fire. I remember a conversation with a Marine who was not half over eighteen years, we could not say they would listen to poverty, despair, or the empty cans in the eyes of the boys around with arms as big as one's body believe. He wanted to know how someone would use children to fight their wars, and why it could not do anything to help him. He wanted to know about the world of chaosexist, and what the hell was he supposed to do. Maybe they need a little more debate, a bit 'stronger indignation for our beloved leader off their collective ass and come to some sort of consensus on what exactly is our role. Perhaps a debate for and against military action could help "our soldiers" more than it hurts.
I refuse to explain this rant from me my exact feelings on the war in Iraq, if one agrees or disagrees is now a moot point. I rantand anger against the authorities, seasoned agents "who have the courage to look at the contempt questions about decisions in the war. I spit on who had the courage to play the appropriate questions on armor, or clear mission objectives. For all classified on the floor E-1 to E-5, the press is the only way to do something unjust or ridiculous addressed. They have no voice abuse or problems, very few are chosen. The vast majority do notWhat are ordered to do. Anyone who has taken a lower-level person know that you are not the general call and put your two cents in on everything. It is not even necessarily know if the weapons or tactics that you use is legal.
"Congress shall make no law ... prohibiting the free exercise of the press ... ..." Another very important aspect of "freedom of the press is fair to our officers, they are local, state or federal. As soon as the government has control, Or even influence what is reported by our newspapers or the network, you lose the truth is a breeze with the propaganda. If you just want to hear your views supported, choose the sites, called "News Radio", magazines or journals for your feed hungry politician. E 'reckless, dangerous in the bottom right of influence in every aspect of the government to allow "real news". I put in quotes because I really believe any semblance of real journalism is rapidly disappearing, replaced by plastic,slaves to fear the powers that be, or deliberate on forcing their political preferences through the gorges of the general population or terrified to report anything too controversial. Sometimes the simple truth is controversial. The simple truth that separate was not equal in the years 1950 and 1960 was controversial, Watergate was at issue, the war in Vietnam has been controversial. Perhaps making up one of these things? It would have been good to ignore, to pretend it is happening andEverything was honky dory? Hell no! If you, my fellow Americans so afraid of the truth you prefer to stab his head in the sand or hiding behind the ideology, whatever the ideology that might be? Where is your backbone?
I saw that said an overwhelming indictment of our media, after the Sept. 11, when the people bewildered as to why "they" hate us. I'm not a great intellectual, a journalist not a scholar of the World, but I got that "they" hate been known for some Americans, because I wasAbout 19. Maybe I only have a deeper insight into the psyche of the third world, colonized, cruel, suppressed and generally looked down upon, but I doubt it. It's amazing what you can learn from just talking with people. Imagine what could we learn if our networks, time and resources in 60% to 80% of the world that can not cover. Americans live in a sort of bubble, where the ugliness of the rest of the world rarely enter into our eternal danger. Inews for you, in the growing "global society" does not know what's really happening in the rest of the world is like taking a trip without a map. How in the world was possible, most people had no idea about the growing hatred of America, festering in the Middle East? And here's another great shock-is not all about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not. E 'operating, the unequal distribution of wealth, which is on the back (and sometimes the location) of the tyrannical,despotic leader of their country. It 's the way we have a battle in support of policies that place the necks of their people under the heel of the U.S. supported their leader. You think I'm liberal spouting nonsense? Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein (you know what are sponsored Hussein?) The Shah (who was the king of Iran, circa 1970 look-up), the Afghan warlords, the House of Saud, and so on.
I have a couple of months in the Middle East, much less timemany so-called experts, but the only thing I did with a few notable exceptions, many others failed to do was talk to the average Joe. I do not speak yet many women, Arab women. I had a chance to talk only with the typical men of different ages. A man had a booth at the pier where my ship was moored. Was the most beautiful old you could ever want to meet, just trying to make a living selling food until late at night or very drunk sailors. I was a little 'shockHe talks to me. I was told Arab women scorned. Not so much for the average non-enthusiast. I was also warned the Arabs hated the Americans. A sort of true, but as my friend explained to me, was not so much the average American. It 'was the manager of the oil companies, politicians and people in power who are real goat. The fanatic will only see the Americans, the great evil. The average person sees their corrupt governments receive assistance, weapons and the means to keep in powergreedy Americans (and British colonial masters) magnates. The stool of all this is that most Americans have no idea what their government is really doing overseas. You should know, you deserve to know you better ask some to know before administering the policy (and they are very bad for third world countries or Democrat or Republican) put your life in danger. In a global society, and like it or not you live in one, you can not completely ignore each othercultures and norms or taboos. You can not force your way of life in the world. I'm not talking about freedom, all deserve to be free. I have a simple culture. Just because we do it here in the good old U.S. of A. not to do or bad. Sometimes it's just different. Some things should not be tolerated by any culture, for example, genocide (Sudan think, if you have no idea what should be thrown on you), and female castration(Sorry, wrong, wrong), or the general oppression or subjugation of a group of companies. You need to know, because at any moment, the bite back, especially if the government knows and does nothing.
"Congress shall make no law ... ... to reduce the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Good Lord people, I do not care who you are, what you believe, or what you are preaching against;The Americans have the right to demonstrate against you. As long as it is quiet, the use of local police stop everyone from peaceful assembly to let their displeasure be known, until the people within the confines of the law and not the hair, well, you get the picture, is unconstitutional , period. You can not deny anyone the right to assemble, even pro-life events in or outside of abortion clinics liberal Republican National Convention. Is not it funny? GoSaudi Arabia or Cuba, or Sudan. It 'so simple, and do not want to waste my time trying to convince anyone. If you do not know, maybe some education classes in remedial reading and comprehension would a world of good.
So many petitions to the government for a redress of grievances, maybe we should break a little '. Petition media lobby, to beg, to request formally. Note: The first amendment says "the people" and not business. Compensation may meanrestoration or compensation. Complaints and grievances, or injustice. Now, how do you think the average citizen, people can formally request a repair or compensation from the government for a wrong or injustice? It could perhaps be the judge? Ah, here we come to reform tort law. Your government has recently enacted legislation (Law on the common people) that makes it harder for you to resolve a complaint. Every time I saw a few people at random lip sync with the party line about how"Cause frivolous" were driving the cost of insurance I just wanted to literally scream. Mr. and Mrs. Brilliant, in a civil case, for the most part, the prizes are awarded by a jury of your peers. "That means people like you. Are you seriously saying you do not have the decision whether a case has some merit? You seriously need someone to hold his hand and tell you what is reasonable? Seriously?
So much "lobbying" the government, I think I have a vagueunderstanding of American English, and really not what "the right people ... to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" can be stretched to lobbyists. Energy, pharmaceutical, or insurance are not people is business, but that's just my feelings, I can legally wrong. I sincerely doubt that 'morally' wrong, but I'm only human. It 's your country, people take it back.
