It is obvious. The laws are on the books; regardless of your position on past presidents, tyranny or corruption/destruction of our rule of law in the past.<br /><br />We are cooked meat; I believe is the idea - and I have to say, from the perspective this is written it is true. Not that we cannot do something about it - as each quote points out.<br /><br />I'm thinking that these posts which are so demanding about things like whether you monitor your comments are pure spam - trouble for no good reason sourced comments themselves.<br /><br />Why the F would not ANY blogger monitor and select the comments posted? WHOSE BLOG IS IT, ANYWAY? No way in HELL I would allow comments to auto post on any of my sites, ever.<br /><br />But I digress. What I love about this post is the secondary conclusion. We are ALL CRAZY - (esp. if we want to monitor our own blog comments!) for having ideas and expressing them, for considering that our ideas are worthy or for doing the work to make our own decisions and decide things other than the 'main stream' captured point of view. For the dude with the issue on main stream media - you might want to go read Yves post on the subject of acceptable debate among other things, : http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2010/09/why-do-we-keep-indulging-the-fiction-that-banks-are-private-enterprises.html<br /><br />Might give you something to think about between rounds of going out and beating up innocent bloggers who actually post REALLY WELL RESEARCHED and IMPORTANT pieces.<br /><br />Just an idea - scroll right down to the two circles in the square picture and maybe you will start to catch on.<br /><br />As for you, George, I just wanted to say the only thing I loved more than this post was the response comment that was all Thomas Jefferson. <br /><br />So thanks to Windcatcher for that. ;)<br />September 16, 2010 12:45 AMBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089596263663384767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-18697466336791050342010-09-15T18:17:51.819-07:002010-09-15T18:17:51.819-07:00I feel i can hold myself in alignment of our moons...I feel i can hold myself in alignment of our moons orbit in tune with our galactic universal star systems of accumalated memory of orbits, knowing the knowing of true synchronic bio-rhythms that are as unique as fingerprints, yet are collectively connected, following fases of no moon, quartermoon, fullmoon, threequarter and back to no moon called a newmoon.

You ass...I didn't say Iraq - I said Al Qaida. You assert there was no connection between Iraq and Al Qaida - but I never mentioned Iraq - so why did you bring it up? <br /><br />I said "if AQ are the guilty party" - not "if Iraq was". AQ's presence in Afghan is not being contested, is it? [I didn't mention Iraq - which I believe to be an obvious warcrime, btw]<br /><br />On the subject of censorship - you posted my comments. Thanks. However, we'll have to take your word for it that your spam filter isn't working very well (in my experience so far it works almost faultlessly) and it nevertheless provides you with a ready avenue for censorship. You would admit that, whether you do it or not. Caeser's wife being above suspicion and all that? <br /><br />Do you extend the same concerns to mainstream-media or any other party? If I go and look through your blog are you sure I will not find any contradiction? If not then...good. You understand the concern though, and how it looks, I'm sure.<br /><br /><b><br />George Washington said...<br /> I do not interpret Kennedy's comment as calling for violence, which you seem to admit.</b><br /><br />Then how would it "today be considered terrorism" as you claim?the_last_name_lefthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276770064991215910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-22446393544842357122010-09-15T11:41:58.390-07:002010-09-15T11:41:58.390-07:00you say "If AlQaida are responsible for 911, ...you say "If AlQaida are responsible for 911, then Troofers are effectively standing in silence."<br /><br />Huh?<br /><br />Even the 9/11 Commission said that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. See http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2010/09/dick-cheneys-oily-dream.html. So: Unnecessary war.<br /><br />And even the CIA says that there are 100 or less Al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan, and top conservative and liberal anti-terrorism experts say that war is the worst way to try to wipe them out. So: Unnecessary war.<br /><br />Indeed, A leading advisor to the U.S. military, the Rand Corporation, released a study in 2008 called "How Terrorist Groups End: Lessons for Countering al Qa'ida". http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG741/<br /><br />The report confirms what experts have been saying for years: the war on terror is actually weakening national security (see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/23/AR2006092301130.html and http://www.counterpunch.org/feingold09292005.html).Washingtons Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10891277931441055038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-87589902842064044612010-09-15T11:36:49.846-07:002010-09-15T11:36:49.846-07:00the_last_name_left said:

FOX? <br /><br />I bet if I go and look I'll find you castigating the mainstream (private) media - for their supposed control of information and its distortion of the body politic etc.<br /><br />And yet you moderate every single comment as a matter of course. <br /><br />Isn't this a little lopsided? hypocritical some might say.the_last_name_lefthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276770064991215910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-67444880354717721482010-09-15T11:09:58.868-07:002010-09-15T11:09:58.868-07:00I dispute your claim.

Same for all of them. Consider AQ are the guilty party and your entire position is arse-backwards.<br />----------------------<br /><br /><br />In your list of quotes that supposedly 'would be considered "terrorism" today', you include Kennedy saying<br /><br />"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice......"<br /><br />But here's the thing: 'striking out against injustice' need not include violence nor physical force of any kind. Not at all.<br /><br />Yet you include this quote as a supposed example of what would be 'considered terrorism today'. This very much suggests you are seeing it in an entirely violent fashion.<br /><br />And yet I notice in the advice for comments you say "Comments that explicitly call for violence [will not be posted]"<br /><br />You won't allow comments such as Kennedy's to be posted?the_last_name_lefthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276770064991215910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-33254436571096643632010-09-14T22:18:23.923-07:002010-09-14T22:18:23.923-07:00I'm waiting for the DHS to overplay

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.<br /> <br />Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people. No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.<br /> <br />Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society. Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.<br /> <br />If the American people allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied.<br /><br />The issuing power of money should be taken from the banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.<br /> <br />Force is the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.<br /><br />Every generation needs a new revolution. The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.<br /> <br />Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every Free State. We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.<br /> <br />Thank You, Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826 (all quotes assembled)windcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472629221573977747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-74641561491620301172010-09-14T15:31:35.315-07:002010-09-14T15:31:35.315-07:00What's interesting is that almost all of those...What's interesting is that almost all of those quoted contributed significantly to the scuttling of the Constitution.<br /><br />Todd Marshall<br />Plantersville, TXTodd Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709716283061340570noreply@blogger.com
