OK. Let’s rename this.
Bully–not so good. Pulpit? Too creepy.
How about LEADERSHIP? Yup, that sounds good. -

The Koch Bros are corporate gangsters and Walker is one of their thugs. It’s that simple. ALEC is a crime organization.

anothergreenbus commented on the diary post Bishops Still Want To Take Away Eve’s Apple by Scarecrow.
The way I look at it, for a variety of reasons Obama poked the bishops in the eye at just the right moment. Obama’s reasons probably include giving Santorum a bit more juice in the Republican primary. If this move works out and helps Santorum continue his insurgency, it would be 3D chess. And, I [...]

anothergreenbus commented on the diary post Obama’s Guiding Principle: Leave No One Accountable by Scarecrow.
Well, if we had run a true Progressive in the primary we would have taken a huge step forward applying pressure on Obama and building for a future run at the presidency. But that didn’t happen. We could be now organizing a another party or a insurgent Democratic movement but not many are interested in [...]

anothergreenbus commented on the blog post PIPA Just a Few Votes From Defeat on Cloture
Excuse me for answering my own question. The reason they want these laws is because the “content providers” (Sound a lot like “job creators” doesn’t it?) turn green with greed every time they see someone’s video of their cockatoo dancing to a Britney Spears song. There goes a few pennies they could have sucked up–theoretically.

You’re probably right. I called Al Franken and let his person know that I did not think he should be supporting this legislation. She said it was good for the economy. I said “Neither you, or I, know the actual details of the legislation, and since Al Franken has received almost 800K from the industries pushing the bills, he should not be involved in promoting them, or even voting on them.” She didn’t like that.
Today we see that the FBI arrested the people operating Megaupload.com. I guess they actually do have recourse to stop blatant piracy–already. So why do they need these bills?

Eight precincts couldn’t be certified.
Which precincts couldn’t be certified? It would be relatively easy to determine if they were in regions that were likely to go to Santorum. If that is the case, then I smell a Rovian rat. -

Yes, yes, yes. All things not falsified are in a sense taken as faith (conjectural)–Popper. But this religious faith is, by definition, not subject to falsification. And in fact by a perverse inversion in the rightwing brain–proven though its falsification! But you get my point.

anothergreenbus commented on the blog post January Smithsonian Magazine to Anger the TheoCons
It seems to me the debate boils down to Reason versus Faith. Reason is open to debate, faith is not. Reason entails the potential for discourse and discourse leads to politics–in the good sense of the word. The religious right hates discourse; they hate debate and they hate compromise.
Faith makes discourse impossible, or meaningless. The religious right hates the scientific method because science does not acknowledge faith as a legitimate source of evidence. Faith is an assertion of truth without evidence and is therefore simply a projection of the Will. In fact, with the religious right, evidence based reality is actually deemed a threat to their projection of power–their Will Power. And this is why their “faith” is so often manifest in the most grotesque dishonesty–the greater the lie, the more evidence of projected Power.
Also, in my opinion, Jefferson redeemed Jesus from all of the religious crap mean to cover up what was essentially a sacred life of a political activist.

People who wear masks are cowards or provocateurs–possibly Young Republicans. The legitimate OWS protesters do not hide their identities and for this they take serious risks. Expose these hooded phonies before they damage the movement.

Herman Cane is the perfect Uncle Tom for the GOP to flirt with in order to alleviate their guilt, for being racists. He is a huckster and will fulfill their expectation that any successful African American must be a huckster. Racist in, racist out.

If you think people need a dictator to act collectively, well, then you are part of the problem. Check your party membership card. You may be a Republican.

This incident demonstrates the need for the Occupy Movement to have a standard response to anyone trying to incite violence. First, there should be a rule, that anyone taking part in or inciting violence cannot be part of the movement by default. Number one rule: if you incite violence you are one of them. (This [...]

anothergreenbus commented on the blog post Obama Disapproval Hits New High
The definition of insanity is a neoliberal trying to solve an economic crisis caused by neoliberalism, using neoliberal economic policies. Instead of taking charge when he had the chance, Obama played it safe–if playing it safe means hiding your head in the sand. Now Obama is caught in a trap. No amount of rhetoric will convince a majority of Americans that he is going to change anything. But then, for Obama, playing the game was always more important than facing the music.
