Right Wing = Anti-Social Morons with Guns

This article pretty well sums up a Limbaugh Listener acting out his sentiments:

Hate for Liberals and Gay People Drove Gunman, Police Say

By SHAILA DEWAN

Published: July 29, 2008

A man who the police say entered a Unitarian Universalist church in Knoxville, Tenn., on Sunday and shot eight people, killing two, was motivated by a hatred for liberals and gay people...

There's a reason Right Wingers don't like the word "Social". The reason is that they're "Anti-Social".

Integrity

Football games have referees. Why? Because without referees the game would just be an unimaginative brawl.

In the workplace, in the absence of robust policy and real leadership, the "old boy network" ends up chilling out up in the office while those with no aspirations to kiss ass or back-stab do the bulk of the work on the shop floor.

In political-economics, the absence of a viable free press and true representative government result in an unfair, corrupt game. It is simply a larger version of a football-game without referees, or a company with weak leadership and policy.

Correction of this lies in a renewed look at the word "Government". "Government" should be the referee that keeps the game fair. "Government" should be the system of rules that ensure that true integrity and value prevail over corruption.

When you hear people deriding the concept of "government", possibly it is because they (A): Don't want a fair game, (B): Are succeeding due to policy that values kissing ass, stabbing the backs of peers, or demonstrating credible threat over real integrity.

Without the integrity of true representation of human citizens rather than concentrated capital (often gathered through corrupt means), and a social nervous-system defined by a truly free press, "Government" is one step away from Tyrrany.

And here we are.

So what do we do?

I'm Mark Frankenberg. I've been exploring what we can do for a while now. Much of my writing is on my website, http://www.markfrankenberg.com along with links to some of my other creative works.

Why am I writing this today? I was reading an article in The Nation about UBS Bank and how many of the super-rich have been hiding money that really belongs to you and me, and could have been used for things like a new bridge in Minnesota, or decent healthcare for our returning soldiers, or better policing of our financial industries (think, Enron, Indy-Mac, etc), or tax-incentives that will enable us to transition to a clean-energy economy rather than starve when all the gas runs out, or free Internet everywhere that could enable a kid in the 'hood with limited resources to attend free classes at MIT online, and maybe figure out how to cure cancer.

Isn't it great? Have a nice day.

The Choice is Clearly Obama

Rolling Stone has an interview with Obama in recent hard-copy. I recommend you buy a copy. I think he's just what we need now. There's no comparison with McCain. Obama will be a better president than Bill Clinton was (Clinton had an irreverent streak that was quickly exploited by the stuffed shirts). Obama demonstrates more maturity and wisdom; thus he will provide more security than Kennedy did (Khrushchev sensed weakness in Kennedy and this prompted him to make his move in Cuba).

Obama will, with absolutely no doubt whatsoever, be better than ANY "Republican". The "Republican" party is wrongly named, because the "Republicans" don't want republic. They want Virtual Monarchy and Empire. That's not America. It's What America is a Revolution Against. That's why the Ron Paul movement is a false-revolution scam. Being Associated with the "Republican" party is about all the evidence you need, regarding that. They're just trying to mislead outraged people into throwing away their votes.

It follows that the VP candidate must be a stop-loss. Cheney was Bush's Stop-loss. Bush stayed in because the people feared Cheney. Thus, Obama should have a left-leaning VP whom the corruptionists would fear. This will keep Obama in. Obama's VP should be more to the left than Obama is. This rules out Hillary. She's to the Right of the Democratic Party, Kind of like Lieberman was. I sense that she has aspirations to be an Empress like Thatcher was. We don't need that HERE. She would thus present a loss risk in my opinion. (I keep getting this picture of Johnson glaring behind Kennedy, in the back of my mind.. but this is just top-o-me-head).

I would recommend John Edwards as VP. Or, Yes.. AL Gore.

Stupid War

To those shortsighted fools who think an illegal attack on the sovereign nation of Iran through our proxy Israel would be good for our economy, think again.

When you buy a bomb, those megabucks go up in smoke when it is deployed. You also commit a crime when you do it.

When you buy a solar-array, you make usable electricity that supports life and happiness (making a decent living, as the forefathers used the word).

We must use the effort, ingenuity and treasure that would be expended in a needless war, in a national campaign to transform our economy into one that uses wind and solar, with improved decentralized storage methodologies such as hydrogen fuel cells. You want something that can get things moving, this is it. Let's make things better.

The car can become our battery on wheels. The house and yard with solar panels can become the power plant

We are going to need a LOT of energy to deal with upcoming challenges. Clean Energy should be the focus of our policy and our market-motivators.

War is a Crime. Let's not premeditate it.
