I appreciate your response above. I have to reconsider if perhaps the anti jewish sentiment that is erupting in the states is a reaction to neo cons - or just an inevitable but unintended consequence of traditional liberal policies of immigration, "inclusion or redical groups" and separation of church and state.
Neo-cons of course are an awfully big reason for the anti-semitism as well as islamophobia created and evident in the world today. When you come out swinging and imposing your aggression on others - you also polarize everyone into taking a stance. Everyone form a viewpoint and a reaction to your actions - just basic nature and evolution doing it's business. Separation of church and state - we need democracies - not theocracies or theodemocracies. The Darwininst ideas of Abrahamic religions are just ... human folly. Abrahamic religion is stemming human evolution now - and that is why it will ultimately utterly fail in view of history; it is not sustainable. See Robert D. Putnam on how mixed ethnic population groups react to each other... it is naturally increasing the distrust between each of the groups - but this also results in stronger integrity trust social structures being needed and with a consensus as being fair and balanced. This is basically the success of the European Union - diverse group of nations, but robust and fair trust models reached in a consensual way - aka democracy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Putnam It is all basic sociology and socioeconomics.
When the LEGAL revolution comes (through the ballot box), the first thing we do.... ...is try and execute all the neocons for war crimes. They've bled our fellow brothers and sisters dry, and drained our treasury. Hang them, after due process is followed, as the treasonous leeches that they are, and display their bodies in the public square.
You wish... Of course, the corruption in Washington with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is going to send some congress members and politicians to jail, but otherwise the corrupt politicians are protecting themselves through legislation and throwing wrenches into any investigations. If neo-cons contributing to the fascism perpetrated by the Bush administration ever face accountability and responsibility - I too hope they are disgraced forever. However, history has already been formed - and no matter of trying to rewrite or falsify history will work in the advent of Internet, freedom of thought and democratic movements. The elitists and old-money are no longer in control with the Internet on the loose.
Wow. I never heard you speak with a degrading tone, but I didn't think we agreed on any BIG things. I can see that we do now. I agree with Pabst on the craziness by which government has grown, and that we should eliminate 50% or more of government spending (while instituting a flat tax and pay-as-you-go federal budget). And now we agree on a major issue.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! She can't withdraw! (and apparently neither can her husband! ) She makes me laugh. She makes me cry. Please don't go Sarah! Seriously, I think she'll do a good job in the debate and all of America will say she's not as dumb as we know she is.
Why did the markets surge 5% inpsite of the worst fake financial crisis since great depression? Why did McCain pick Palin when he had more experienced choices? No one knows why, but in the end it works. There is no sense overanayzing this. The competency level of a VP isn't important to voters anyway.
You sound very apologist for elitism. What you said amounts to: "don't worry your pretty little head about these things, we'll fix it - trust us." You are not exactly sounding very competent, trustworthy, democratic or even a believer in free markets...
