wizfan0 commented on the blog post Obama Nominating Major Campaign Contributor Penny Pritzker For Commerce Secretary
This nomination highlights Obama’s corruption. I still remember the Chicago teacher strike. I remember Pritzker being one of the villains in that strike. At least she wasn’t nominated to be Labor Secretary or for Education.

wizfan0 commented on the diary post Still feeling the Paine more than two centuries on! by Antipanglossian.
Noam Chomsky talks about this. He said that James Madison had to choose a path. He could either expand democracy and promote a welfare state or he could restrict democracy to protect the “opulent minority”. Of course he chose the latter. Chomsky also noted that Aristotle came to the same fork in the road as [...]

wizfan0 commented on the diary post Urban Farming (something you shouldn’t miss) by David Seaton.
I’m currently designing an urban agriculture farm for my senior design project. I’m specifically working on stormwater management. I’m able to get the farm 70% reduction from using public water. I can probably get it to be 100% self sufficient in a couple weeks. Urban farming is definitely the way forward. I think though that [...]

I live in Montgomery County, I used to pass the Lockheed Martin office all the time on the way to and from work. I will definitely call my state delegates and senator. I know one of them will oppose the bill. Two of them are on the ways and means committee.

wizfan0 commented on the blog post Democratic Party Divided As Obama Inauguration Approaches
“In the century in which we live, the Democratic Party has received the support of the electorate only when the party, with absolute clarity, has been the champion of progressive and liberal policies and principles of government…The party has failed consistently when through political trading and chicanery it has fallen into the control of those interests, personal and financial, which think in terms of dollars instead of in terms of human values…Until the Democratic Party through this convention makes overwhelmingly clear its stand in favor of social progress and liberalism, and shakes off all the shackles of control fastened upon it by the forces of conservatism, reaction, and appeasement, it will not continue its march of victory…The party must go wholly one way or wholly the other. It cannot face in both directions at the same time.” -FDR

Obama pretty much spit on everything MLK fought for in his first term. Definitely won’t do anything to redeem himself in the second.

Everyone that attends that speech needs to heckle Schneiderman until he finishes that speech. They need to tell him to criticized the Obama administration for not helping him get resources for the group.

The NYPD and CPD have become nothing more than an organized gang. All these law enforcement organizations protect the government and no longer protect the people.

And President Obama said that nothing the banks did were illegal. I would bet anything that this loss had some sort of fraud in it.

wizfan0 commented on the diary post Solar Roadways: Edging Closer to Reality by Phoenix Woman.
I hear about this project about a year ago. I’m glad they are making progress. What’s also good about this project is that while also using the panels to produce energy it also takes away the need for oil because asphalt is uses the tar from oil. When we run out of oil we will [...]

How stupid is the Obama and his administration? I thought he said he didn’t want to bail anyone out. I thought he said he wanted to stop the fraud on Wall Street.

wizfan0 commented on the blog post More JOBS Act Deregulatory Measures Found
If the Democrats take back the House Maloney is going to be the Chairman on the Financial Services Committee instead of Maxine Waters. Waters is next in line behind Barney Frank. Maloney has shown the establishment and the Banks that she is ready to play ball with them.

I would just like to say, that David is a way better journalist than any NYT writer. I have read more of his articles in the past couple of months than any NYT in my life time.

wizfan0 commented on the diary post Bolivia and Argentina: They Said “No” to the Austerity Jackals – and Prospered by Phoenix Woman.
In Dick Cheney’s words: Deficits don’t matter. Our money is made of digital numbers. Debt’s are a promise that someone will pay back. Sometimes you just can’t keep the promise. The rich always forgive each others debts, but when it comes for the poor and middle class their debt there are no exceptions.

Emanuel becoming Mayor of Chicago just shows how blind people are when they vote.
Who cares if the protesters don’t get a permit. They have the constitution. If the city wants to charge them with breaking any laws then they can challenge the charges. They have the constitution on their side. -

I don’t see Paul Ryan coming back to Congress in 2013. Not a good time to be a Republican in Wisconsin especially after 2 crazy budget proposals.

wizfan0 commented on the blog post Defense Files Motion to Dismiss Charges Against Bradley Manning
Obviously even if Manning is guilty of leaking the information, his intent was not to help Al Qaeda. The intent was to expose the crimes of the government. He wanted make the government transparent and show the awful things that the government was doing to the American people. I hope the defense can make that argument.

Who the heck are these people? Every time they get criticized they cry about it and then a public figure like Bloomberg has to go cheer them up. Do these people really think that they are good persons? They crashed the economy and ruined millions of peoples lives. They stole from the American people. How [...]

wizfan0 commented on the blog post Schneiderman’s Office Responds on MERS Lawsuit Partial Settlement
If Schneidermann thinks that he will be able to gain respect and move up in the political world if he does a pathetic half ass job of seeking payment of damages by the banks then he is living in an alternate reality. No one likes a sell out unless of course you’re a banker.
