ch directly translates to your yea in november let them know that in 2010 you are a one issue voter and regardless of how you may have voted in the past should they help defeat this massive government grab you ll be voting for a democrat for house this year let them know that with the right vote now you will pledge give their opponent neither time nor money what can pelosi et al who very possibly may be out of power next year after all offer them that is better than an easy reelection this vote happens once but there will be another congressional election in 2012 i don t care how much you want to claim that seat it s worth it to grant the democrat incumbent a two year breather to kill this effort labels congress election healthcare posted by submandave 3 19 2010 05 16 00 am friday december 11 2009 one more red nightmare while i agree with much of what the president said in oslo i am cautious about believing that i really know what he meant as john stewart has been prone to point out lately if one removes the byline this could just as easily been a speech given by the president in 2004 a president incidentally that both senator and candidate obama frequently and vehemently repudiated like many obama speeches though there were significant places that required the audience to fill in the blank and therein lies the details while going on at length about the sometimes necessity of fighting he was rather vague about the actual principles upon which this necessity might hinge judging from his administration s unwillingness to even engage diplomatically on the side of freedom and democracy in either honduras or iran and actually officially siding against it in the case of the former it seems fair to conjecture that this is not a principle upon which this president would rather fight than switch amongst the specifics he does mention though we find human rights and economic injustice while it is difficult for anyone to find fault with the first in general this very universal acknowledgement and acceptance has in the last couple of decades meant the co opting of this rather nebulous phrase by almost anyone or any group advocating for anything some for example believe the causes of government guaranteed universal housing food and health care fall under the banner of human rights based upon his domestic legislative priorities one might feel comfortable assuming the president falls more into this camp than any other considering that the president has often expressed confidence in the un perhaps we should explore some of what they believe are human rights as set forth in their universal declaration of human rights emphasis added comments in italics article 12 no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy family home or correspondence nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks justification for hate speech laws article 22 everyone as a member of society has the right to social security and is entitled to realization through national effort and international co operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each state of the economic social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality i m not sure how the government is supposed to sponsor everyone s dignity but i m sure someone will try and tell me article 23 1 everyone has the right to work to free choice of employment to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment so the government needs to guarantee you a job article 23 3 everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity and supplemented if necessary by other means of social protection there s an awful lot of nebulous dignity talk going around article 24 everyone has the right to rest and leisure including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay this human rights thing is sounding to me more and more like an employment contract between the government and its citizens article 25 1 everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well being of himself and of his family including food clothing housing and medical care and necessary social services and the right to security in the event of unemployment sickness disability widowhood old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control note to freeloader wannabes pay attention to the use of the adjective adequate article 26 3 parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children oh well guess we can forget this one more disturbing for me though is his stated commitment to some idea of economic injustice while i might consider it unjust for a government to excessively tax its citizens or impose unreasonable restrictions on their freedom to engage in private mutually beneficial economic agreements with other citizens i somehow have a hunch this wasn t exactly what he was thinking about as he penned these words in fact if one were to google economic injustice the entire first page concerns the advocacy of government sponsored efforts to redistribute wealth to redress economic disparity between citizens characteristic of this sentiment is the 2005 essay by jason miller on a site called metaphoria which agonizes that s tarting with iraq president bush has dedicated himself to exporting economic injustice obviously it is far better to have oppressive despotism fueling uniform squalor except for those favored by the ruling elite than to have an environment of greater personal freedom that might allow some to achieve greater economic success than others again judging from previous words and actions i can t help but believe that president obama is espousing a support of this more conventional understanding of the phrase all of which leads to some interesting questions if only one were to ask if as he said the president believes that a nation s hostility towards human rights and economic injustice cannot be allowed to thrive and if we accept the concepts of human rights and economic injustice as outlined above then how does that belief square against both the laws and capitalistic economic model of the very country he leads would one be justified in concluding that this has everything to do with his pledge to fundamentally remake the country or will we be encouraged by our betters to once again ignore the man behind the curtain and pay attention to the smoke and mirrors he presents instead labels policy politics socialism the one posted by submandave 12 11 2009 08 52 00 am friday october 09 2009 i am superman and i can do anything if i had access to a highly public forum i d suggest that all who find the obama peace prize to be the height of ridiculous to up the ante use your influence to honor and award the one tm for any and all accomplishments i can just imagine the fun when obama is suddenly inundated with blue ribbons for rhubarb pie at the county fair prizes for local library art contests recognition by community rotarians labels the one posted by submandave 10 09 2009 09 12 00 am thursday october 30 2008 you have set the world on fire what with an unscientific estimate of half of sen obama s supporters thinking they ve found the new messiah i m getting more and more pessimistic about the upcoming election not the results as to who will win i remain for reasons unexplainable borderline optimistic that sen mccain will once again previal against the odds and conventional wisdom but the effects after regardless of whomever is declared the victor if you tired of ridiculous conspiracy theories and mindless hating after bush beat gore in 2000 then stand by for worse if mccain wins in 2008 after all how could mccain possibly defeat the chosen one except for cheating racism of the electorate or a diabolical combination of the two the millions of white supporters gained by sen obama will be forgotten the fact that he despite a paucity of content ran a formidible campaing and came within striking distance and was throughout the process treated as a serious and respected opponent by all but the most mindless and blatant racists will be forgotten the r in the win column will be all the evidence required by the rev wrights of this country to confirm every silly idea about the white devils they ve ever dreamed up and if jesus jr does pull through and come out on top inside six months there will be legions still wondering when their pony will be coming and if there s one thing i ve learned from living the past decade in a majority minority city it s that black democrat politicians are masters at convincing their constituency that their failure to produce any real meaningful improvements in government or community isn t their fault but still a problem with the racist history of america or institutionalized racism or any other problem letting them pass the buck on in order to keep getting reelected sorry if i seem cynical about this but you can frequently tell in this town when election season is coming up by the volume of allegations of racism raised sorry no answers from me just doom and gloom today labels politics race posted by submandave 10 30 2008 03 05 00 pm wednesday october 29 2008 resources to save the poor from their lot in thinking of both sen obama s proposed tax cut and the sub prime mortgage crisis i keep hearing the chorus from arrested development s song give a man a fish rare is the man who has been raised from his social and economic conditions without having to do the lion s share of the work himself the dirty secret that politicians are loathe to admit but i will say without prejudice is that in most cases there is a reason those in poverty stay in poverty and in today s america it rarely has to do with oppression or institutionalized anything ism poverty produces poverty for the simple reason that it doesn t know how not to if you give every family in poverty 1000 today you d end up with a bunch of poor folks watching some really nice lcd hdtv sets but very little actual improvement in their general standard of living likewise extending shaky credit to unsteady borrowers at the government s bequest was from any objective position a bad idea yet there was the perpetual idea that putting someone in a nicer house with a little money in their pockets would result in a mystical metamorphosis that would alter their entire lives and that of their children without having to do the heavy lifting of changing their economic patterns it was nice to give big three bedroom fish to all those hungry folks but what are they eating today i said before the i say this without prejudice and by that i mean that there is nothing intrinsic in the poor that requires they stay poor or that being poor reduces their worth as people but being poor is not a phenomenon but often rather the logical result of a pattern of behavior ask any entry level employer and they ll tell you one of their biggest problems is just getting people to show up for work and doing it on time i see it at my daughters school where i volunteer to help with morning traffic the tardy bell rings and still the parents are pulling in or walking up with their kids usually with no sense of urgency at all and this is at a good school in a middle class neighborhood it pains me no end to see the bad lesson these parents are demonstrating daily to their children i am sure others have looked on me with the same complaint but as this essay is addressing poverty and contributing factors i ll give myself a pass at this time if you really want to reduce poverty then help develop a good work ethic to allow a person to get keep and excel in a job after that teach budgeting skills and the idea of delayed gratification in order to encourage savings use that savings and economic sense to secure a conventional mortgage and you ve taught that fellow how to fish and not just given him a meal you ve provided him with tools that allow him to make a secure economic base for himself and his family this then is what i see as the heart of the anti redistribution sentiment felt by many americans help out your neighbor educate the poor but handout after handout just prompts the response of to quote one of my least favorite songs ever what have you done for me lately unless a person changes their patterns of behavior it is folly to believe that the results of giving them 1 000 or 10 000 would be too different from giving them 20 labels policy poverty socialism posted by submandave 10 29 2008 09 31 00 am wednesday september 17 2008 over there in barrytown they do things very strange accounts of the attempted swiftboating of mccain by former pow phillip butler has been noted by both sides of the political sphere and generally regarded as unwarranted by most let me both offer both a caution and a little insight into the matter first i want to caution others against unfairly disparaging dr phillip butler as some commenters have done he is a combat decorated naval aviator and former pow and deserves our respect for his service and sacrifice beyond that though while his opinion may be contrary to yours i saw nothing in that video that was rude or disrespectful to sen mccain and i feel that dr butler just on a level of human decency at least deserves the same consideration it is fair however to examine both the messenger and those who would give him greater voice on the latter it has already been noted how the ad sponsor democracy for america was not only founded by dnc chairman howard dean and currently run by his brother jim dean but quite clearly identifies itself as a grassroots powerhouse working to change our country and the democratic party from the bottom up that is dedicated to support ing progressive issues and candidates up and down the ballot now there s nothing wrong with this group putting out any ad it chooses but it is less than honest for some like talking point memo to call them an independent group or to compare this ad made and sponsored by what may in fairness be viewed as an adjunct to the democrat party to those previously done by sbvt a group that included many from both parties as to dr butler it is fair to note that in contrast to the sbvt he is but a single voice but should that make his message less important if it is an important message perhaps not but i contend that it may not be in fact sen mccain s experiences as a pow and his infamous reputation for being a hot head are only two of many reasons dr butler expressed in his article why i will not vote for john mccain published at military com on march 27 2008 among the other reasons cited are the standard laundry list of democrat talking points support ing bush s war in iraq his views on war foreign policy economics environment health care education national infrastructure ...
