applegrove's JournalThey know JFK, and the trauma of his death, made for Liberals for a generation.
JFK is a liberal cornerstone and his murder just seared it into liberal's brains. The last thing the GOP wants to do is piss off people who were young, hopeful liberals in 1963. Many of whom are part of their aged base right now. I say we call them on their manipulation of this historical event. They hated JFK.
How about the GOP is using abortion to run in 2014. And
all of our statements like abortion should not be "rare" or wanting "abortion on demand" or "how adoption is no solution" can be used to prove to the independants that the left loves abortion and wants more of it. As many dead babies as possible is the meme that they want from this democratic site.
Maybe this is why there is the whole "take rare out of the democrats stance on abortion".
Because the Clinton stance of "safe, legal & rare" was an effective way of putting the issue to bed in the right wing. I can see it now, any abortion over 20 weeks will be labeled a late term abortion. And we are falling into the trap by getting rid of the term "rare" and using terms like "abortion on demand" which reminds me of movies on demand and implies a drive through clinic which are the opposite of rare. So the 2014 race is ON in the DU and elsewhere where democrats are 'discussing' the wording and message on abortion. Because given any chance, the psychopaths will try and control how democrats make their case in a way that favours the GOP.
Does anybody else share my worries? 
Another reason why the GOP hates unemployment insurance:
it allows the job seekers in the market to hold out for better wages. And the 1% want lower wages. That way inflation is fought on the backs of the middle class and poor. All of their money is worth relatively more.
60 minutes does investigative journalism. That implies
the topic is 1) novel 2) true. This Benghazi story was 1) Old 2) untrue, so of course it appealed to conservatives. True journalism has a liberal bias. I've been saying this for years.
And 60 minutes is investigative journalism. So in seeking the truth
most of its stories would have a liberal bent. Because the information in their ideal investigations are 1) New 2) true. Both of which denote liberalism. So I can see pressure being put on them to do a conservative story or two that would necessarily be 1) Old 2) Untrue. Which they did with this Benghazi story.
Why would Rand Paul plagiarise? Because
as a libertarian he's got nothing to sell to folk. He's about taking away power and wealth from folk by destroying the things government does best for them. It would be an economy devoid of any hope for most people. It is not a vision of a better world. All he wants is to take. His only creative arguments are about the government being a dystopia. Which is projection on his part. The world he would usher in would be terrible to live in. He never thinks of building. He is not a creator. He is a diminisher. So he is devoid of ideas. So he plagiarises the work of human beings. To pretend he is one and shares their emotions and their dreams.
Just thinking about how scientists now
say sleeping is so spinal fluid can go into our brains and wipe away all the garbage. So you can think. Including the plaque that causes altzheimers. And it all reminded me of FOX News. All they do is gum up their followers brains with more racism and classism, homophobia and sexism. Altzheimers patients regress back in maturity. (My dad has the disease but is responding well to treatment). They react with anger when they are frustrated in their thinking or are presented with novel information that contradicts what they want. And people who are angry are not in a position to learn anything.
How do we let clearer heads prevail when the noise machine never stops?
The police have their orders. They are civil servants. It is the
1% that have changed the policing culture in the last 30 years. I live in Ottawa and went to a few demonstrations. The police used to stand back and watch, respectful of the right people had to demonstrate. In 1995 we had neocons in power in Ontario. Went to a demonstration, peaceful, spontaneous, and the police were video taping demonstrators... which is like a challenge to people to break the law. Nobody did. Except that it was a spontaneous demonstration. Later on there were G7 demonstration just outside of Ottawa and the police dressing up as demonstrators and tried to incite people to get violent. Definitely social engineering going on there. The police were going for a certain outcome with the agents provocateurs ...which was likely the outcome the 1% wanted. So they could say "you can't trust these lefties, don't negotiate with them, they are violent". And it worked. Left has been kept out of negotiations on trade deals and other agreements. Whereas in places like Germany and Singapore the labour negotiates with business and government to do joint ventures. You don't see labour involved here or in the USA. Like the 1% wanted to create a more black and white world in their war on the middle class. Where all the big decisions would be made to favour the 1%. The police are just servants.
That being said there was a big demonstration on Parliament Hill by Tamils in regards to losing the war in Sri Lanka a few years ago. The police facilitated. The people got their say. And it worked. My brother had a roommate who was a Chinese national. He was visibly anxious the whole time the Tamil demonstrations went on. He thought it meant revolution and a violent one at that. Thank god we are not like the Chinese is all I can say. There is a world of difference between us and them.
In the Sistine Chapel's "Creation of Adam"
Michaelangelo painted god and Adam's index fingers almost touching. Human beings fill that space often. It is how creation myths work. Every explanation wants a home. So too this bullshit demonstration at veterans memorials today. The GOP wants the meme that Obama is being unfair to vets with the shutdown 'he caused' so he had to be run out of town as the tea partiers marched to the white house and symbolically dumped barricades at Obama's 'feet'. I call this 'taking the dog for a walk' where the bases delusions are excercised lest they notice their own culpability in keeping veterans from their monuments, as actually played out last week. A small gap between reality and wishfull thinking can be easily crossed in normal people. It is normal for people other than dyslexics and depressives to make the looser associations.
