Their new definition of marriage: “I vow to breed with you”

Posted on January 9, 2012 by admin

Their new definition of marriage, “I vow to breed with you” This is what happens when the thing you believe contradicts reality. Marriage is good for a stable family life, but marriage has never been about breeding. Breeding is one of the easiest things for a mammal to do, maybe eating is easier, you don’t need marriage to get people to do it. Children need stability, whether their parents are gay or straight, they also need a stable extended family, like their gay uncles or aunts, brother and sisters; the haters own experts in the Prop 8 trial admitted this (under oath, they seem to take telling the truth more seriously)! Marriage helps bring stability in society. Look at American wedding vows for the last 100 years, they are exclusively about commitment to each other. It has never mattered if it’s two 90 year old or two infertile newlyweds, it was the commitment to each other that mattered.

This dishonest view of marriage the religious extremist have, might explain why Massachusetts has one of the lowest divorce rates in America, at the same time the bible belt states have the worst. THEY are the ones harming marriage, by lying about its meaning.

You Got What You Voted For

Posted on September 6, 2011 by admin

At the end of Clinton’s presidency, we were set to have no more deficits, in 10 years no more debt. Then a large MINority of Americans and a few corrupt Supreme Court Justices (remember Bush vs Gore?) decided to go back to the polices of Reagan and Bush Senior. Here we are today and all those Bush Junior supporters looking in the mirror and trying to pretend all they see is a black man from Hawaii.

Study History!

Posted on August 30, 2011 by admin

I’ve been fighting for fiscal common sense for 30 years and for most of those 30 years Americans have voted into power the exact opposite. I like history, there is a lot you can learn from it, what works and what doesn’t work. Look at the years that America went from a sleeping giant to a powerful great nation. Who was in power, what were their values about government? How did we, after WWII, get out from under our mountain of debt? It was higher then as a percent of GDP then it is now. Most people don’t care. There is very little history on American commercial news, and that’s not by accident.

There is a book called The Fourth Turning by William Strauss. He looks at a human pattern that repeats it’s self every 80 to 100 years. The last cycle ended with the great depression and WWII, before that the civil war. The people that lived through the great depression came out of it with a new view of the world. They believed in working together, institutions like Social Security, big projects like the Interstate Highway system, public education and they believed in good government. Those people are gone, their grandchildren are guiding us now, and they have lost the ability for critical thinking, working together or understanding the difference between bad government and good government. They have no idea what bad is, what going without is or suffering is, they follow without question.

The author suggest the only way to get back to a prosperous time is to have such a bad time it makes people start thinking again. It will take seeing your children and loved ones suffer, go hungry, live an die on the street with nothing.

Look at the deficits from WWII until the 1980′s, they were minimal. Who dominated politics during those years? Who dominated government from the 80′s on? When did we build most of our now crumbling infrastructure? What were the tax rates during the 50′s 60′s and 70′s the time America became a great nation? How many tariffs were there on imports? How big were unions?

Don’t vote out everyone, do some real homework and vote out the corrupt, the liars and the hypocrites.

…and study history.

A True Free Market is Not Good for America and Never Has Been

Posted on April 23, 2011 by admin

There is no free market incentive for a middle class, we became a successful nation because we used the free market as a tool, not because the free market used us.  Organized workers, a limited work force and regulations, is what aloud the free market to built the American middle class.  The free market by its self, will beat the American people down until we are equal to the global work force and the top 2% own everything of value.

The Morally Corrupt Circle Jerk of Faith

Posted on April 22, 2011 by admin

The evangelical right (or any religion on the right) is morally corrupted by the idea that god is infallible­, visa-vi, they are infallible.  They hate gays, so god hates gays, god is infallible so they must be infallible­.  They simply believe that lying to support their infallible views isn’t really lying, bringing us back around to why they are morally corrupt.

Atheist Don’t Reject God

Posted on April 22, 2011 by admin

“I think the concept that atheist “reject god” is a big misconception.   If a man walks up and tells me there is a leprechaun under the bridge, I don’t reject leprechaun­s, I reject the man.

Leprechaun­s are not real, they are fun made up characters in stories. Think about it, when someone tells you there is a God and they know what he is all about, they are basically telling you they know the meaning of life. People that in everyday life, only understand a small fraction of how common things in the world work, much less physics, chemistry or genetics.

I don’t reject gods or leprechaun­s, I reject the people that make them up. I reject that, that doesn’t make sense, I accept that, that does make sense. Feelings are not proof of anything, and that is the evidence believers go on.  It is human nature to want to believe we are special, I believe humans are special, but not in the same way. They believe a God makes us special, I believe our mind makes us special our ability to perceive existence.

I can always be convinced of a greater entity of some type, if you can show me evidence not based on desire, but real testable facts.”

Being Young and not Believing the Nonsense

Posted on April 22, 2011 by admin

I spent my childhood feeling very isolated, listening to the stories told by my parents and the leaders at the Catholic church where I was taken every Sunday to church and Saturday for catechism. I don’t think I ever believed it. I remember thinking about those places far away where kids were being guided, just like me, to learn about different gods, told by men, all claiming to be telling the truth, it made no sense. I realized very early that faith was just the act of believing what some man told you.

If I had had the Internet then, I would have spoken up much sooner, I would have been stronger knowing I was not alone.

Obama and the Birthers

Posted on April 22, 2011 by admin

It is sad that in America people can be convinced to hate someone so much they will go off the deep end to make things up in their head to justify the hate. He showed his birth certificate, Hawaii verified it, the Republican Governor of Hawaii verified it. Two Hawaiian papers had his birth record in them, he was born in Hawaii.

They hate, so nothing will ever change their minds, it’s time to write these fools off. What we should be concerned with, is how the right wing media, like Fox News, created these people. Why is it so easy to convince so many people that something is, when it isn’t; Remember Obama’s death panels? Socialism? Keep your government hands off my medicare? I even saw a sign that said Obama was a “Fascist Socialist”

I don’t think this bodes well for the future of America, we are going to be lined up facing 1 billion youthful Chines holding engineering degrees and our young will be holding Bibles. The Bibles will not win.

Social Security Trust Fund

Posted on April 22, 2011 by admin

The money in the SS trust fund was not spent, it was invested, it’s not worthless IOU’s; in reality a ten dollar bill is an IOU, a share of Microsoft is an IOU, a mortgage is an IOU. Billions in Treasury bonds are held by the rich are IOU’s, do you think they would have them if they were worthless, they are backed by the same thing the SS “IOU’s” are backed by, America.
Think about ING, where my company has it’s 401K, what if ING’s management raided the money to to give themselves billions in raises and benefits, to the point, that there was not enough to pay me and my coworkers INVESTMENT back. They would say Microsoft stock held at ING has no value, just worthless IOU’s, but at the same time Microsoft stock held outside of ING, by the wealthiest, is just fine. Would you be OK with it? Apparently, if you’re on the right you would be. I personally think they should be tossed in jail for the rest of their lives and everything they own turned over to the people they wronged. Those tax breaks for the rich, that the rich paid all those lobbyist and politicians and buying of supreme court judges to get? They are robbing us, our children and grandchildren blind
