» Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 18, 2014 @ 2:10 am Revelation Before Revolution: How The U.S. Oligarchy Can Be Taken Down This is indeed the question to answer regarding the current state of our democracy, AdLib. I agree that there has to be the revelation before the revolution. My view is that the revelation is already occurring. It has been overshadowed by the pervasiveness of propaganda in right wing social media and right wing Congressional speeches that falsely proclaim “All Americans want this . .” while the truth is far different. There is biased news and laws either enacted or obstructed at the whims of the wealthy. Both of these facilitate a vicious cycle of divisiveness and inertia. Yet this cycle will not last. After almost four years of enduring actual laws that impose unwarranted restrictions on We the People, the revelation is now reaching across all generations. From the more than 16 million children living in poverty, to the college student, to families, to active military, to veterans and to the elderly – all have been adversely affected by the abuse of legislative powers. Significantly, these legislative actions have also infringed on civil rights and have attempted to circumvent the Constitution. While corporative money wages a prolonged battle of appeals in the courts, there are untold numbers of citizens who suffer the consequences of these injustices every single day. – And for minimum wage workers, there has not been any increase in the federal minimum wage since July 24, 2009. That is an injustice that has been perpetrated for almost five years. I think that We the People have already endured for far too long, the wake-up call has been ringing loud and clear. My hope is that this will be reflected in the November elections. If not then, it is only a matter of time before the revolution and the return to a true democracy. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 23, 2014 @ 4:34 am The Weekend Music Thread – Come On Let’s All Get Happy Hi, Nirek – Happy to hear your granddaughter play the violin! 🙂 » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 11, 2014 @ 1:57 am Hi there, NirekJunior – Nice to meet you! Your Dad told me about her playing the violin. I used to play the violin as well and had just started around her age. Thank you for sharing – an absolute delight to listen to her play and she does this quite well! » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 11, 2014 @ 1:54 am The Weekend Music Thread-A Tribute to Women in Music Thank you, Nirek! So nice of you, I love this song! 🙂 » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 4, 2014 @ 9:38 pm Yes, I remember. Her voice is so unique – thanks for more of her songs, Nirek! » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 4, 2014 @ 9:28 pm

» Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 4, 2014 @ 12:47 pm Nirek – Beautiful music, beautiful song and a beautiful tribute to your granddaughter! » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 4, 2014 @ 12:34 pm This is the one I was going to post, too! My first thought was of Streisand – she has so many top songs, this is one of my favorites. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 4, 2014 @ 12:26 pm Homeless Veterans, America’s Secret Disgrace It is tragic that so many veterans do not receive the help they need once back home in the USA. That’s the UNITED States of America. Congress is not united and the right wing refuses to pass legislation to assist veterans. This needs be a part of the platform for every Democrat in the November elections. The GOP should be held accountable for their track record of inaction when Democrats are on the campaign trail. As you mentioned Nirek, multiple attempts have been made to pass a Veterans Jobs/Benefits bill in Congress: – November 21, 2011: – Passed Congress, signed by President Obama For those veterans waiting and waiting to receive help, this lack of legislation for two and a half years is indeed a disgrace and beyond belief. Yet the indisputable facts are there in the Congressional records. There is NO justification for this failure to act, the GOP chose to put party first before country. Thank you, Nirek, for sharing your experiences. After sending our young men and women in harm’s way, Congress should provide for the care they need after returning. Instead, the GOP pontificate about even more military interventions. – The only way to change this is to VOTE these obstructionists out of office. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On May 4, 2014 @ 3:13 am Favorite Comedies of Well Known Republicans Enjoyed your list, AdLib! It helps to keep a sense of humor when looking at the often astounding antics of all of these snakes and scoundrels. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 27, 2014 @ 2:48 am Thank you, Nirek! I do like writing, perhaps in time. Most definitely important to get this point to the politicians. – Hope your day goes well. 🙂 » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 30, 2014 @ 2:08 am Great article, Nirek, about what blatant lies are being told by both the wealthy and the corporations who only want to increase their profits. I say hogwash, too! The so-called benefits with the Keystone XL pipeline do not outweigh the risks. Especially when all of the benefits go only to the wealthy – and all of the risks go to the rest of the nation and its environment. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 27, 2014 @ 2:08 am Agreed, AdLib – Liked your comment that ” . . the main product they manufacture is lies.” That sums it up perfectly!! » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 27, 2014 @ 1:32 am Weekend Music Thread – What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love and Understanding? Beautiful song, Nirek, a wonderful way to remember your wedding day. It will be 39 years June 28th for my husband and I. Looks like we both found true love! » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 20, 2014 @ 10:07 pm

» Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 20, 2014 @ 9:44 am Thanks, Nirek – Incredible talent and originality. That cello is not easy to lift! I used to play the violin back in my high school orchestra, this is an amazing performance. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 20, 2014 @ 9:23 am You’re welcome, Nirek. I love the lyrics and the music, too! And thank you, Happy Easter to you as well. » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 20, 2014 @ 8:56 am Just have to include this song of peace and love! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjxSCAalsBE » Posted By Aquarius 1027 On April 20, 2014 @ 12:07 am
