lmka commented on the diary post The New Feminist Agenda: Defining The Next Revolution for Women, Work and Family – Book Salon Preview by Elliott.
Is it a good thing that the multiple income household has become a necessity for survival in America, for most people? Here again we see progressive compartmentalization at work. We celebrate the entrance of women into the workplace as a great achievement, and in many ways it certainly is, but what about the fact that [...]

lmka commented on the diary post Targeting Peacemakers in Afghanistan: What’s the Taliban’s Motive? by Philippe Duhart.
Since the US is notorious for its deployment of death squads of various kinds, under various covers, in global ‘hotspots’, there’s no need to take at face value any deaths attributed to the Taliban. And even if you do blame the Taliban, should you take into account the fact that the Taliban began as a [...]

lmka wrote a new diary post: In Praise Of Cyndi Lauper, And The Triumph Of Compartmentalization
This article turned up on Yahoo headlines this morning, and helped ruin my day…
Whether it was a flip-flop, or an evolution, or a change of view, President Obama is the first sitting president to endorse same-sex marriage. Coincidentally, the same week the president announced this change, Cyndi Lauper, one of the biggest activists for gay and [...]

lmka commented on the diary post On The French Revolution and why we keep on fighting the same battles…. by cmaukonen.
What bothers me is that many of those who are realistic to point out that we seem to be fighting the same struggles over and over again seem to claim that ‘at least we’ve made slow progress’. But what if we haven’t? What if the opposite is true? What if, for example, slavery was never [...]

lmka commented on the diary post Police Video of Trayvon Martin’s Killer Shows No Visible — Much Less Severe — Injuries by Phoenix Woman.
The police state is something many people in this country have lived with for decades or for always. Now the middle class in America, and even the upper middle class, is finally beginning, just beginning, to realize that they live in a police state, and that their privileges are gradually being revoked. Too bad they [...]

Right on. If vigilante behavior is good for Obama, it’s good for Zimmerman. If it’s wrong for Zimmerman, which it surely is, its a thousand times wronger for Obama.

I haven’t seen one word explaining why he stalked this kid with a gun. That sounds predatory to me, not protective. But I wonder why the Libs and ‘progressives’ are so worked up over this, but don’t care one damn bit about Obama slaughtering black people in Libya? Oh wait, he didn’t do it with [...]

lmka commented on the diary post Milk, Politics and Profits by BlueCrow.
I love it where the clerk says the poor folks are getting a freebie. Wow. See, the way I see life, it’s the privileged folks who get all the freebies. The poor folks pay through the nose for everything. If they don’t pay in money, they pay in the hard knock struggles of their lives.

lmka commented on the diary post Why We Should Outgrow “Diversity of Tactics” Before Protesting NATO by David Swanson.
Those who refuse to embrace non-violence are, in my view, deliberately seeking to prevent protest movements from achieving populist status, which is precisely what they need to have in order to actually govern.

lmka commented on the diary post Conservatives or neo-fascists? by David Seaton.
I think that is a complete fallacy. I think most folks on the so-called left are hardened group-thinkers who are intensely aware not to step outside the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in their social circles. I think that a very very small number of people on the left AND the right are beginning [...]

Exactly. It’s a different spice to the broth, but the same broth.

Cut military spending and you have plenty to spend without raising the limit.

lmka commented on the diary post Trayvon Martin: What RFK Said by Alan Grayson.
It’s great to be for peace and against racism. So you are calling for Israel to immediately lift it’s blockade against Gaza, while pulling back all ‘settlements’ on the West Bank, correct?

To threaten war is itself a war crime. But hell, now that war is peace, let’s give Obama another peace prize.

Obama is a good talking head for lies. Quite hypnotic, actually.

It starts with realizing that money is a fiction, economic depression is a rigged game, and debt is slavery.

lmka commented on the diary post Michelle Alexander: The Age of Obama as a Racial Nightmare by Tom Engelhardt.
100 years of human progress have been rolled back over the last three decades, especially the last decade, or are being rolled back. This is no joke, little exaggeration, and we really, really need to wake up from our self-congratulatory trances. The oligarchs have staged an incredibly successful counter-attack on humanity, only successful because we [...]
