One Way to Read It

One old black man defeats the KKK with kindness and humor. They burned down his church, burned a cross in his yard, and mercilessly taunted him. He always responded in kindness, and turned their hearts to him. We should use this as a blueprint to respond to those who hate us.

"Manipulating the fear of terrorism for political gain is itself terrorism."

From Time Magazine : "Somewhere in Iowa, a pig is being raised in a confined pen, packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won't bite one another. To prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters, he is dosed with antibiotics. The waste produced by the pig and his thousands of pen mates on the factory farm where they live goes into manure lagoons that blanket neighboring communities with air pollution and a stomach-churning stench. He's fed on American corn that was grown with the help of government subsidies and millions of tons of chemical fertilizer. When the pig is slaughtered, at about 5 months of age, he'll become sausage or bacon that will sell cheap, feeding an American addiction to meat that has contributed to an obesity epidemic currently afflicting more than two-thirds of the population. And when the rains come, the excess fertilizer that coaxed so much corn from the ground will be washed into the Miss...

"Shame of you" indeed.

Sweet. These white Christians who compare Obama to Hitler are the sons and daughters of people who opposed the Civil Rights movement. They are the descendants of slave owners and racists, and many of them are racists themselves. They are heirs of the oppressors. Their supposed protests against tyranny are the very cogs and wheels of tyranny. Their demonstrations show the power of the lynch mob, not strength of character. They stand against Obama because he is black, but do so cloaked in the language of those who stood up against ignorant mobs for the sake of liberty.

By Bill Moyers, not surprisingly. Sorry I couldn't embed it. Click the link to watch the video. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/ journal/08142009/watch.html And some links for those who care to learn more about health care reform. http://factcheck.org/ http://www.kaiserhealthnews. org/ http://www.kff.org/ And some quotes for those who don't watch the video: " I'm okay with protest. Sometimes I wish I'd done more of it myself when I was young. But it's hard to reason with someone who's packing a gun. That's why I found so menacing that photograph of the fellow standing outside President Obama's town hall meeting on health care in New Hampshire this week with a 9mm pistol strapped to his thigh and a sign quoting Thomas Jefferson on watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots. Knowing from his MySpace profile that he admires white supremacists , it made me queasy to see that man standing there, pistol at his side. Of course he...

Insurance companies will insure you when you're healthy, but as soon as you get a costly illness, they will try to take away your insurance. This notorious and vile act is known as rescission. A woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer had her insurance revoked when she scheduled an expensive double mastectomy. The woman was willing to have her breasts removed in order to live. Instead she had her insurance revoked, and had to wait months to battle the insurance companies, and she knew the whole time that cancer grew inside her, and that the longer she waited, the less likely she was to live. During a congressional hearing on the matter of rescission, the CEOs of three major insurance companies said that they would not change their policy of preying upon the weak. Basically they only want to insure the healthy, and kick the sick off of their ledgers. This, of course, is the opposite of what insurance is. They are making money off of the healthy who do not use their product,...

Click over to see video. The majority of terrorists in America are Republicans, not Muslims. It doesn't help that Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and other Cheney-esque neocons are trying to scare the hell out of us. cartoon from HistoricTimes

In Shyamalan's movie The Happening plants start killing people to stop humans from destroying the earth. Looks like nature is really fighting back. Seaweed on the beaches of France is producing "a very toxic gas" that can kill a person in a few minutes, and "smells like rotten eggs." That rotten egg smell is hydrogen sulphide. Some scientists "believe that a build-up of hydrogen sulphide in the atmosphere wiped out the dinosaurs 300 million years ago." And earlier this year a mysterious blob slunk along the Alaskan coastline eating birds . It turned out to be algae . And all of this is happening because of homosexuals . It has absolutely nothing to do with our own wasteful lifestyles and polluting culture.

Some guy took the scripture: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18) and translated it into Hebrew as "I saw Satan as Baraq Ubamah." So Barack Obama is Satan because his name in Hebrew translates roughly into "lighting from heaven." Cool. I also thought interesting that if you translate George Bush into Finnish you get Yrjö Pussi, or "vomit bag." Update : "The given name Barack is not a form of this name [lightning] , but is instead related to a different Semitic root which means "blessing" and is also the origin of the names Baruch (Hebrew) and Mubarak (Arabic). " - wikipedia proves another nutcase wrong. So Barack Obama means "Blessing from heaven." As in "I will . . . d open you the e windows of heaven , and pour you out a f blessing , that there shall not be room enough to receive it." But I'm sure there's another way to prove that Obama is evil.
