If the Republicans aren't careful, we're gonna have a crazy person for a president...

Then we're ALL doomed. It's been going downhill with them for years. Either the Wall Street/moderates take back over the party or there's gonna be a culture war led by the Christian Socialists against all the rest of us. They'll come up with their own "police" forces to hunt us all down.

Rick Perry's "Miracle"???? ...yeah, right!

Click on the image to just how great he is as a governor. Another blowhard like Schwarzenegger!

Rick Perry is a...

ignorant douchebag!!!

If you're middle class i.e. you make less than $250k...

You are getting screwed by the Republicans! You lost yor job because of them...they shipped it overseas. Or gave you a loan you couldn't afford...then repossessed your home.

They are selfish rich bastards who don't give a shit about you.

Tea Party Republicans are a bunch of...

ignorant, selfish, douchebags! And Eric Cantor is the Chief Asshole!

As a former Rep, I am convinced that they are un-American and wish to see the destruction of the United States government. At some point, the rest of us should consider whether or not their actions are a form of sedition.

People who think for themselves are no longer allowed to be Republicans...

It's just transparently obvious that the distemper, delusion, and hypocrisy of the Republican leaders, pundits, and Tea Partiers prevent anyone with an ounce of their own brains from calling themselves Republicans anymore. If you're not a slavish pawn, then you needn't apply. So I'll just be a conservative independent from now on.

How NBC & Broadway stole the Thanksgiving Day Parade from the children of America...

It was one of the greatest rituals of American childhood: Thanksgiving morning American children would tune in to see Santa Claus traverse across the continent (you have to include Toronto in this). First he would parade in NYC at the Macy's parade, then at Gimble's parade in Philly...to Toronto, to Detroit...across America and it's television sets. Children always wonered: how the hell can Santa get from here to there so damn fast!

But the grandest was always NYC with it's Macy's parade on T-Day. They always seemed to have the grandest floats, the best bands from all across America, and those balloons...those wonderful balloons. And they were the start of Xmas...period, the retailers didn't try to cheat on one another and start it after Halloween like they do now.

And then NBC and the "Broadway Marketing Dept" (it doesn't matter precisely what this is)...but somehow they convinced themselves that all the children wanted to see Broadway dancers and semi-celebrities lip-synching bad songs all day in the cold, that somehow maybe all the adults (i.e. the ones who really do the spending) would somehow watch. Get a clue NBC: nope! We're just all waiting for the football games.

Sometimes America is really stoopid!

My son lives in NYC. He says the parade is just how I said...except if you go to see the parade, you see a parade. You DON'T see a bunch of dancers and bad lip-synching...that's all downtown at the end of the parade where NBC can stage it the way they want for marketing purposes.

But nationally...for Americans and their children...this parade is dead, an empty shell of what-once-was-great-about-America!

On Closure...

The concept of "closure" is a myth...there is simply no such a thing as closure.

Like the concept of "god" there is no example adequate enough to ontologically prove the point. Probably like a lot of things.

Why I'm no longer a "Republican"...

Republicans are pussies (this is the nutshell version...see following post!)

As a former Republican, I find the fearmongering by...

Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly...and yes, Limbaugh to be the most gutless, cowardly fake conservatives to be the most despicable human behavior on the planet short of the SS. They are not conservatives but authoritarians hiding behind conservatism because they are gutless! They want you to fear your neighbor! So much for "christianity" by these fakes!

These "men" are cowards. The party (for what it's worth anymore) needs to rid itself of them...BUT considering that, Steele to have balls of steel which is an impossibility. It is important that small-d democracy prevail i.e. freedom! Why the Brooks, Will, Kristols of this world do not have balls enough to call them out (ok, maybe Brooks!) is really a question!

It is time for good, STRONG men to stand up and (if necessary) SHOUT down these cowards! Ironically, a Schwarzeneggar has more balls shouting down Palin than the rest!

Why neocons (and Rush) will eventually fail...

and take the party with them: they put Values above Facts. The see all facts as biased for or against them (there's clearly a streak of paranoia running through their thought, and paranoia only serves one's enemies). They really are very weak in their understanding of power and how it works. When Rush says the party doesn't need better policies, he is effectively saying they only need their values; that that will be enough to re-acquire power. But without policies one cannot truly have a politics, and in a democracy politics IS the path to power...unless of course deep down you are only paying lip service to democracy and really the path to power that you're really espousing is to simply TAKE it. Of course, that is called tyranny. Without a formulation of policy that is coherent with your values so voters can make a reasoned choice, you have only a vacuous soliloquy...or...sedition.

Christ did not ration compassion as Christians do...

he thought that a sin...

Wissen Uber Alles

I am a "knowledge bigot"...I proudly and unshamedly proclaim myself to hate ignorance and ignorant people like Sarah Palin with a vengeance.

I believe in: data, information, knowledge, reason, the intellect...and anyone who says otherwise is a moron!...clearly!!! and yes, I'm alot more fucking smarter than most people.

Knowledge is Power: The Will to Power IS Knowledge!

The Philosopher's Job...

is to ask "What is wrong?!", than to say, "This is right!"

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature...

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.

Media/Pop Culture Mis-Appropriates Philosophic Language...

Computer Science is now Ontology...

On Top Chef, they "deconstruct" salads...

And everywhere you turn, a pair of nickels will get you a "new paradigm"...

American, Pop Culture & Media are ignorant...

Networks Replace Hierarchy

I am the anti-chameleon

I do not blend in to my surroundings to survive. Instead I stand out and say, "Eat me if you must, but I will be poison in your throat and you will spit me out"

Religion is a completely human artifice...

Man created god...not the other way around.

Leave your weak gods behind!

Your bible gods, your gods of consumption...nothing will save you....for the one, true god just simply doesn't care about you. The god of the Higss Boson (whatever IT is...we still need to find out)...simply doesn't care about you and the the bedtime stories for ancient bedouins that you still console yourself with are mere myths. IT granted you existence and IT only has one question for you: what have YOU done with your life to deserve it. If you have killed in IT's name, you have defamed it...he will forget you even more.

No true god has ever taken on a human form...a true god knows that no man could ever be strong enough. Even prophets, prophets even more so know the weakness of man.
