Text of the page (random words):
ion people are being controlled by fifty senators four hundred thirty five representatives nine judges and one president add in governors state senators and the ceos of fortune 500 companies and america truly and mathematically is run by the top 1 of its population hence the problem with small government ideology small government causes its citizens to surrender its sovereignty to the top 1 of our population who never has never intended to and never will have the best interests of its constituency at heart the only thing that motivates businesses and consequently politicians is money and an incentive to make more money the irony is the democrats and republican citizens often go to such great lengths to disturb the political process with incessant bickering slander and non cooperation while the top 1 continues to profit off our own fears and ignorance in other words republicans vehemently defend the very people who are destroying the american freedoms they hold so dear while democrats ignorantly contribute to the political machine via government expansion that destroys their own agenda the solution to the problem is not clear cut nor will it be solved any foreseeable future as it requires a great many people to surrender the power they enjoy however there are a few ideas i hypothesized that would at least be a step in the right direction first we must abolish special interest funding in political campaigns as well as special interest lobbyists obama has pledged to do this and it is indeed an empty promise for he is just as connected to the political machines as his conservative adversaries second we must limit the number of terms any politician can serve the politicians most deeply and inextricably intertwined with the political machine are those who have been in office for decades we need to put the public back into public service and extricate the private sector out of politics all together then perhaps there is a chance we can once again reclaim our democracy read more 17 comments friday october 23 2009 episode 80 politics is depressing post under commentary reflections at 12 16 am may god bless the souls of all those who have the strength courage and fortitude to make daily more many days a weekly blog entries newspaper and magazine articles about politics there was a time when talking about politics was kinda fun wasn t it the topic du jour would be something like health care reform or clean air or green tech we used to debate about our ideological differences if there is one thing about this blog that makes me proud every single person we almost everyone came to the debate with great ideas and expressed them in intelligent ways that got a really good dialogue going part of what made these debates great was the having fresh topics to talk about topics that really get the brain juices a flowing when i read the paper or watch the news nothing is really interesting it is the same ol same ol mission failed mr president it s not entirely your fault mr president i mean your own teammates on the left side of the aisle showed so much promise during the election the way you united the democratic party is a feat that has never been accomplished in politics let s face it democrats are notorious for lacking a single cohesive message however mr president even your magnanimity isn t enough to prevent the levies of democratic hodgepodgery copyright thelaw 2009 from breaking and by the way f olympia snow seriously her stance is basically if you take this perfectly democratic bill strip it of all its merit and benefits so it is basically a republican bill lacking substance and almost completely ineffective i will put my tentative signature on it that may change later and the republicans that party is a complete joke i ve said it once and i ll say it a third time a complete joke did you hear about the minnesota senator who proposed that there be an amendment to a government contract to give women the right to sue if they have been raped the victim in question was gang raped ladies and gentlemen what should be an obvious no brainer was met by opposition from ding ding ding the republicans they re a joke did you hear about the crowd of people who cheered because the united states was rejected from getting the 2016 games they talk about patriotism and then sneer at the most public display of national pride a joke did you hear about rush limbaugh who is a closet racist who wanted to buy an nfl team in which 70 of its players black lmao and this is news from the past month the list is too long politics is too depressing especially during football season football makes me happy i don t feel like being sad and depressed anymore when thinking of the future of this nation so i think for the time being i ll take the ignorance is bliss route and listen to espn radio lol there is nothing to talk about anymore all you get from republicans is obama sucks all you get from democrats is republicans suck no matter how many stats and number people throw out there we re no longer having useful conversations about politics because it s not happening in the media and most importantly in washington i suppose this is why most americans don t even bother trying to get this stuff maybe when our elected officials decide to act like grownups again politics would be fun to talk about again read more 8 comments tuesday october 13 2009 episode 79 episode 2 obama s peace prize post under commentary headlines nobel peace prize obama the sunday comment at 12 18 am before i begin i have a new format for now on when a post has a corresponding l comment radio show topic there will be two episodes posted that way when you leave comments i will respond to them on the radio show i m figuring out how to do a live broadcast but that s still some time away so this will have to do now moving on to the story i will begin by saying congratulations mr president look the nobel peace prize is not just an achievement award it is also a political tool to promote peaceful agenda obama is the leader of the free world no matter what our shortcomings are as a nation we are the ones the world looks to first for answers we have a president who is willing to listen to all sides of the argument no matter who is delivering it that kind of mentality goes a long way towards breaking down years of mistrust we re already seeing better cooperation in russia and china name calling is a bit out of my character but i have to say the republican party is a joke why is every single thing in this political landscape about scoring political points the right wing in this party is so far out of touch with the way the world works it s incredible forget rush limbaugh as far as i m concerned if obama ended world hunger he d spin it as a leftist big government controlling the food supply i m talking about the boehners and the steeles of the party who fail to recognize the challenge the nobel committee bestowed upon the country in fact the republican game ball goes to john mccain when he said we re proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category but i think part of their decision making was expectations and i m sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to way to go mccain that s really being a maverick a damn shame when being a maverick means doing the right thing of course the right wingers will say well john mccain isn t a real republican he sold out this peace prize in my eyes is the world asking america to step in and take charge of the global peace initiative what better icon than arguably the most popular man in the world to lead the charge can we for once as obama said in his inauguration set aside childish things and come together as one nation and help our president lead the way to a safer america and safer world or would you rather bicker and argue until it s too late to get things done agree with me think i m full of crap leave your comments below and they will be addressed on tomorrow s show read more 9 comments saturday september 26 2009 episode 78 sanction this political chess games post under commentary reflections iran the war at 1 11 am before i begin i have an announcement the l comment is 1 year old today this blog is my 5th try at blogging and this is the first one to bear fruit i want to thank all the readers of this blog for reading this blog has accomplished my main goal of having civilized political discourse with people from many political persuasions and may i say the kind of dialogue has far exceeded expectations you guys are awesome and i thank you very much for coming back for more debates onto the news of the day it seems iran has come clean with a new nuclear facility being built now if bush said iran was developing a nuclear program and not iraq we d have to re evaluate history because he d be right i m not surprised by this and i doubt anyone in washington is either because all the candidates of the election brought up this possibility during the 2008 campaign furthermore we already knew about one facility and its location information that obama has shared with russia and china to get them on board to place sanctions on iran from the same cnn article linked above this passage is key it is not at all surprising that iran would want this news to come out now ingram said it strengthens their hand the fact that iran has proactively informed the world helps iran diplomatically in conducting nuclear negotiations ingram said adding that to characterize this second facility as a covert operation is misleading the iranians have yet to start production at qom and are revealing it before that happens it will be seen as an indication that they are willing to play by the rules and this will make it more difficult to persuade them to abandon enrichment ingram said i m not a doomsday conspiracy theorist by any means but we have to read between the lines here iran s aggressive approach has failed every single time they ve tried it now with the us china and russia in the fledgling stages of a alliance here iran is backed against the corner typically when the enemy is backed against a corner they fight harder than ever before as muhammad ali proved the rope a dope strategy works pretty well this is how i see this playing out iran pretends to cooperate they follow all the rules abide by the sanctions and the world let s go of the leash a bit meanwhile in a cave somewhere weapons are being developed now if they attack their target will likely be israel if this happens we have to defend our allies if our relations hold up we ll have russia and china as well as england france and canada as allied nations iran will have pakistan saudi arabia and iraq as allies that s going be a really tough fight this development has made me revisit my previous post afghanistan is no longer about the taliban if this impending war happens afghanistan is going to be a very important piece the equivalent of the center squares of a chess board having afghanistan as an ally gives the us allies a strong position on the battlefield if the taliban take over the region a war with the middle east will prove to be very difficult thus in light of this story i think it may not be a bad idea to fight the afghan war because all of a sudden we have a very good reason for winning that war the objective is simple eradicate the taliban i hope to god that i m wrong and this is all gross over analysis however if i m right or even 50 right it is very possible the 2 000 year struggle in the middle east may be over in my lifetime wwiii may very well be called jihad for real perhaps crusade ii the main advantage would be that this war is against countries not ideology there are parameters for victory and failure and its nation vs nation rather than nation vs terrorism read more 6 comments tuesday september 22 2009 episode 77 p s we re in a war post under commentary reflections the war at 3 19 am if you take a look at the news programs and blogs of late the topic du jour is healthcare and rightly so as we are nearing a vote that could have a profound impact on the lives of americans for several generations to come diving deeper into the subject we find a lot of hyperbole from both sides of the isle using buzzwords like death panels and if we don t reform healthcare you ll die faster etc taking a glance at the blogosphere i took a hiatus from for a bit it seems no one is talking about the fact we re in a war and generals want more troops i m having a lot of trouble understanding what a victory in afghanistan looks like does it mean we establish a free democracy there that the people don t want do we secure an oil interest that doesn t exist in that country do we capture a rugged mountainous region with awful weather really really hot or really really cold and surrounded by enemies in each direction to gain some kind of tactical advantage i m of the opinion that we need to cut our losses and just bring our troops home after eight years a few blown opportunities to catch the true enemy osama bin laden and the non existent support from home and abroad there is no victory to be had in iraq let s say we found osama tomorrow and he caught him hung him and put his head on a rusty iron platter because silver would be too good for him then what is the war on terror sorry the war on al qaeda over at that point did we really spend 10 billion to capture and kill one man as far as i m concerned bin laden is a target of opportunity at this point i have good news however i know how to win the war on whatever you want to call it the answer is so simple you may kick yourself for not thinking of it sooner the answer is to flat out leave iraq this is what happens when we do the taliban will declare our withdrawal as a victory from an article from the ny times mullah omar leader of the taliban was recently reported saying today we have strong determination military training and effective weapons the message said still more we have preparedness for a long war and the regional situation is in our favor therefore we will continue to wage jihad until we gain independence and force the invaders to pull out given afghanistan s nearly perfect track record of thwarting all forces that have invaded them for the past 2000 something years i m inclined to agree with him in response to our leaving most of the alliance will also pull out the taliban will not attack america because they got what they want the removal of western influence from their land the taliban will complete take over afghanistan then one of two things will happen their regime will be so suppressive the world will have to rejoin the war effort under the banner of human rights ie wwii and kosovo or afghans will spent about 5 years being miserable if scenario 1 happens the world will be dragged into another unwinnable war until a smart guy like me concludes we need to leave and the process starts again and moves to scenario 2 the afghans will engage in ...
