ENOUGH.

Believe it or not.. it is a GIANT step forward, as the U.S. has ALWAYS vetoed such resolutions.

If we abstain, the resolution will most likely PASS.. & Bibi KNOWS this.

It’s a VERY diplomatic way to show that we are NOT fucking around with this.

Human Beings suffer,
They torture one another,
They get hurt & get hard.
No poem or play or song
Can fully right a wrong
Inflicted & endured.

The innocent in gaols
Beat on their bars together.
A hunger-striker

The T Party — T for Terrorists

Representative John Lewis marched with Dr. King..

He has been beaten, teargassed, imprisoned, had dogs set upon him & was one of the few TRUE heroes of the Civil Rights Movement….

He was still in his TWENTIES at the time..

..& even TODAY.. in THIS day & age.. he has to suffer the SAME IGNORANCE & RACISM from the SAME MOUTH BREATHERS & LOWLIFES that we’ve ALL had to endure for TOO LONG.

The People’s Voice?

Bill Maher is a 5th rate standup who is the LUCKIEST MAN in showbiz.

He postures as if he is informed, when, after all is said & done, he’s just a dyed-in-the-wool cynic.

I really can’t STAND him.. he is only as good as his writers & his “show” is only as good as his guests.

That said, the Academy Awards is the ONLY show that fetes those “below the line” for THEIR contributions.. which are 99% of them.

The actors have the Globes, the SAG awards, “peoples Choice”. Indie spirit, etc, etc, etc.

How many others recognize the Cinemtographers, EDITORS.. or the Sound Designers… VFX, Costumes, hell.. most don’t even mention the WRITERS ferchrissakes…

Lamenting the fact that there are those that are going through hard times should NOT mitigate the fact that this ONE night isn’t a “prom”, as that pompous nincompoop Maher thinks… it’s the WRAP PARTY that most (ESPECIALLY those in POST Production) never get to attend… not to mention the HONOR of being recognized for your hard work by your PEERS.. & not by boxoffice receipts or public popularity.

You ALSO might take note that, even during the DEPTHS of the Great Depression, the ESCAPE offered by the MOVIES.. the glitter & glitz.. the tears & the LAUGHTER had a near MEDICINAL effect on those who had nothing else in their lives but misery.

An Outsider at Christmas

It’s THEIR version of of our “neocon / religious right” cabal & they’ll have to exorcise their government of them as we did last November.

What they are doing in GAZA is what the Nazis did to US in Warsaw.

Your point about the hyper-religious in Israel is spot on as well…

NOBODY hates Jews more than OTHER Jews who feel that you aren’t “Jewish” enough.

I feel your pain…

“If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”

DAMNED IF HE DOES…. DAMNED IF HE DOESN’T

Immediate withdrawal would have garnered more support from his “base”.. & I challenge you to cite this “evidence” that he took the middle… which was McChrystals initial proposal.

You still fail to see the difference between “Governing” & LEADERSHIP… & in WAR, if you have ANY INTEGRITY at ALL.. it’s about the LIVES of those you are sending into harms way.

All else is cynical politics.

» Posted By BlueStateMan On December 4, 2009 @ 4:02 am

I disagree, kev… he did this, simply because it was the RIGHT THING TO DO…. it was about LIVES… the political calculation would have led him to a different plan.

OUR invasion was NEVER about BinLaden, 9/11, “justice” or even REVENGE.

It was about fossil fuels & the conduit with which it could be distributed.

It was, as are ALL motivations of the neocons, MONEY.

I’m afraid that most who use the Obama=Bush meme are political neophytes or impatient children.

» Posted By BlueStateMan On December 3, 2009 @ 2:35 pm

One would need to be formulated, mo… “war” leaves no guarantees… but, as I said, THIS time there is a GENUINE GOAL there (not some rhetorical pap about “winning”) & that is to be GONE from there within 18 months.

» Posted By BlueStateMan On December 3, 2009 @ 2:32 pm

The political fallout is across the board… I didn’t say he didn’t consider it.. he considers EVERYTHING.. which is why he has my RESPECT.. I just feel that the political considerations had little to NO bearing on his final decision.. a decision that leaves HUMAN LIVES in the balance.. ANOTHER reason he has my respect.

C’Mon, kev.. do you really think that he came to this conclusion because he though it would “up” his numbers??

Sometimes, one must make a choice between LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE… & I feel that this was a case in point… again when LIVES are at stake.

I agree that we PHYSICALLY could leave in a few months… but as you say, that would endanger the troops.. which is a deal-breaker.

Perhaps this can be the impetus to evolve.

Twelve Shot Dead and Thirty One Wounded at Fort Hood.

I wonder how many broken souls Major Assad had to council before his soul broke as well.
