It’s only the NHL and NFL for this sports fan. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 11:40 pm Words Are Our Most Important Product Aryanna Nation. Yet her blog draws thousands of thousands of so called progressives and liberals every day. That’s why the progressives over their that do not question Aryanna but endlessly question Democrats and the president are so hypocritical. To me it’s the same kind of hypocrisy the religious right practices where they don’t follow their principles in basic ways. I’m starting to look at progressive pundits on MSNBC the same way. Sorry GM is a major part of the military industrial complex and their shows make millions for MSNBC. I especially love the article when huffy goes after GE. I just post Keith and Rachel should quit MSNBC based on principle. Could you imagine if President Obama tried to muffle descending voices like they do and just deleted any criticism of his administration? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 8:11 pm 😆 Ouch! » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 8:10 pm Yup the history lessons to learn are not about the leadership per say but about the corrupt system as a whole, including the corrupt citizens. The late Romans were driven by fear and not making the hard personal everyday choices far more than the fact that their government leadership failed. Roman leadership was up and down all through their golden age. The conservative church took over the Roman state and ruined it by demanding orthodoxy and and pimping fear. A good parallel is the way fundamentalist religious thinking AND corporations have taken over not just America but even the Western and Eastern hemispheres. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 6:03 pm 😆 Ignorance loves company even more than misery. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 5:37 pm Excellent topic and some great points and links. Language far and away separates us from other species on the planet. Some species communicate but they don’t have growing languages and the ability of preserving language like the excellent citations you use as examples. Humans have the ability to use language either as a way to bring hope and progress or promote fear and stagnation. Unfortunately many hateful and fearful uses of language have resulted in terrible wars and the proliferation of racism. The most disturbing recent development in the use of words is the Orwellian ways leaders uses words to manipulate us, especially the corporatists and right wingers. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 4:50 pm I agree but it should be asking what people think about these issues rather than setting it up like some kind of test that implies there are absolute right and wrong answers. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 5, 2009 @ 7:37 pm I’m on the fence about term limits too that why I hate these binary tests. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 5, 2009 @ 1:39 pm I hate these types of tests. The promote orthodoxy of thought rather than independence of thought. I don’t think there is a “bad score”. I’m also on the fence about term limits because we would not have Senator Ted Kennedy type superior lawmakers with term limits. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 5, 2009 @ 1:39 pm 1. Y Frankly you know I don’t like binary logic or political litmus tests. You can ask Too many of the changes required to realize all the “Y” answers are just not practical in the real world. Do I fail the test of being a progressive now? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 11:28 pm How can you have a soul and not look at that picture and be heart broken? I just don’t understand how people can celebrate the misery of people who have done absolutely nothing wrong, especially nothing wrong to you. The only scripture I ever believed in whole heartedly was the golden rule. How is voting against love and soul mates joining together living by the golden rule? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 6:15 pm Great point and thanks for the hopeful comment. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 1:22 pm I am hugely disappointed by the vote in Maine. I just don’t get people voting for less love in the world instead of more. It’s just fucking crazy. My belief, is we live in a representative democracy for a reason because people will never vote for anything that brings them the smallest amount of pain even if we need it or like in yesterday’s example the mob should not be able to block individual rights. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 11:19 am You must be drinking too much of the bubbly now. 😉 » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 4:52 pm My biggest emotion election day 2008 was one of great relief. Relief that America has returned to some semblance of sanity. Of course after the president has been inaugurated we see the insanity coming back again which is trying to block any progress, this includes many progressives who just don’t understand the meaning of patience, steady progress and advocacy rather than grandstanding, extortion and mindless criticism. Our problems are so vast and entrenched in the fabric of American culture that to many people don’t understand it will take a generation of Democratic leaders to change America. The election of Barrack Hussein Obama is only the first step but many progressives think it was the only step we needed. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 11:08 am Very well said and spot on Nelly per usual. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 11:00 am How could this not be viewed as anything but an epoch defeat of the right wing base? I mean the district has been Republican for over 150 years. If the Dems lost a district that liberal it would be trumpeted as a failure of liberal ideas by the trolls. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 4, 2009 @ 11:23 am Absolutely. To me this was the only election where national influence of either party mattered because Palin and Gingrich pushed the moderate Republicans out of the race. It still shows the voters have contempt for the party of NO. The incumbent party always loses gubernatorial races when the economy is bad and the two candidates had huge problems. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 11:50 pm Plouffe Responds to Queen Huffington Thanks for posting this. I see huffy has let a couple response articles get through. But her mission was accomplished she got attention for herself and her website and it really does not matter that her argument is bullshite. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 6:15 pm McCainCare: The Alternative GOP Healthcare “Plan” Ask AdLib about H1N1 sometimes. I actually heard allot of progressives saying the media and the white house were overreacting to the whole swine flu epidemic. I’m sure glad President Obama was proactive and started taking it seriously right away. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 7:38 pm Actually their old plan did include tax credits for buying insurance but since Democrats are doing that the GnOP has to be against it. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 5:32 pm Amen we absolutely have to push for the Kucinich amendment. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 5:30 pm Good point. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 2:26 pm We Can Think That For You Wholesale Funny how the right wingers didn’t question why men were going in and getting abortions. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 2:11 pm 😆 don’t encourage him or his head will explode. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 2:09 pm Great article. I’m originally from NJ so I love a snarky take. All politics are local but of course the media narrative is that President Obama is on the ballot which is utterly ridiculous. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 1:01 pm Coalition governments don’t get much done unless one party dominates even in parliamentary system. Our gridlock has much more to do with the caustic nature of our politics and dishonest media than anything else today. Because of election cycles a presidency last one year these days. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 10, 2009 @ 12:48 pm Thanks for the info Nellie. I’m totally ignorant of the concept. I will check out the links. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 10, 2009 @ 12:43 pm The biggest thing blocking a three party system in this country is the Constitution itself. Because we don’t have parliamentary rule where the executive comes out of the legislator multiple parties will never have enough money to run national presidential elections. Worse yet because the executive does not come out of the legislature there really is no impedes towards the formation of coalition governments where two parties rule. I find it very ironic that when the US had a chance to institute democracy in Iraq Bush did not institute our form of democracy but Great Brittan’s form of democracy. I don’t have as much problem with not having a third party as some either because face it the Dems are like a multiple party with their various coalitions. I would much rather have the executive come out of the legislative branch though because our form of government is one of the reasons the Executive Branch has too much unchecked power. Face it half of Americans cannot even name their own Representatives or Senators but all Americans know who the president is. Legislators would have much more clout if they produced the executive. If I do start a third party I think I’ll name it “Strange Quarks Progressive Party” or the “SQPP”. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 10, 2009 @ 12:41 pm 😆 great find. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On November 3, 2009 @ 7:53 pmComments Posted By KQµårk 死神

5. N because it would be too difficult to administer a nation wide property tax that provide most of the school funding and more importantly when Republicans do take control of government again I don’t want them pushing bullshit like (non)Intelligent Design in public schools in blue state schools.
6. N the Fed should be transparent and audited but the root of our problems are not the Fed it’s capitalism and any monetary system will have the same problems. Going back to an asset backed system model is just not practical.
