The England Riots & the US Economy are linked

Are you paying attention to what is happening in England ? Massive Riots , Looting, Autos and buildings being set on Fire. If not you better start paying attention because if the assault on the middle class and workers, seniors and the poor continues here at home in the US we will be seeing the same and possibly worst . The proposals put forth by the Republican Party more specifically The Paul Ryan Plan will destroy this country and we cannot allow that to happen. A good place to start will be the Wisconsin recall elections being held today if the Democrats retake control of the Wisconsin Senate it may show political shift to the left which also could be the momentum start to the 2012 National elections where Democrats could retake the US House of Representatives and up there majority in the Senate because if the Republicans gain seats, State Houses and the White House the riots in England and throughout Europe and the Middle East will look like children’s backyard party’s next to the civil unrest that will take place in the United States

Thank You Wisconsin Governor Walker

It was not his intention but by threatening to end collective bargaining rights of Public Service Workers. Followed by now threatening massive layoffs Wisconsin Governor Walker has did something President Obama has not been able to do since his historic campaign and election to the White House and that is to get us Liberals off our Asses and to fight for what we believe in. We grew complacent and lazy going starting back during the invasion of Iraq when we had some small street protest none of which rose to the levels of the Vietnam protest when we helped stop a war. Governor Walker started not only a disagreement between the Wisconsin State House and Public Service workers but a nationwide fight between Republicans vs Democrats / Conservative vs Liberals / Rich vs Poor / Tea Party vs Progressives . And there is a possibility of it being a long nasty and bloody war

The Mid Term Elections Nov-2-2010

It’s 4 Weeks to Election Day usually Mid Terms are laid back affairs nothing much matters that is not the case this time around. The Extreme Wing Nut Right which this time includes the entire Republican Party is out to stop every step forward we made in the last two years those steps are nowhere near as far as I believe they should have been. All Troops for the Mideast should have been brought back home. The prison camp at Guantanamo Bay Cuba should have been closed by now I would like to have had President Obama told Congress “We are Closing it now and bringing the prisoners there to trial in US Courts with all Miranda rights or I am setting they all free you got That” same with Healthcare I think there President Obama should have pushed hard for a Public Option he should have gotten into the Face of Republicans and said “We are having a Public Option or I am not going to sign on piece of Legislation” Right now the Republican party is being lead by as we call them for good reason “Wing Nuts” There are 5 candidates running for congress or Governorship that are so Anti Abortion they are against it even in cases of Rape meaning if a Women is assaulted and raped they my law want to force the Women to carry the baby to term. This group wants to abolish Social Security, Medicare and the Department of Education. They want to do away with Minimum Wage Laws they want to repeal the new Healthcare legislation that they refer to as Obamacare . If they were going to replace it with Universal Healthcare I would back they all the way but they want to go back to the way it was where only Rich and working people would be able to get Healthcare. Do you want people like that in our Government ?I don’t want people like that picking up dog shit in the park.. I cannot believe it’s come to this A big part of the problem is FOX News who claim to be Fair and Balanced but in reality there motto should be We Make it Up and You Fools Believe It Then distort every story with a Right Wing Slant and both Staff and Guest belong to that Wing Nut Crew. There Big Star is Glenn Beck who’s followers look upon at the second coming of Christ they believe he has a direct line to Heaven and God is speaking to directly to lead the Nation lead the Nation to what I don’t know. He had a Giant Rally on the National Mall in Washington DC in August called “Restoring Honor” that drew a hundreds of thousands of people consisting primarily of White Christian Scared People what they are scared of seems as they say want “Our Country Back “ by this I believe they mean “White Christian anti Black anti Muslim anti Gay anti foreign anti choice anti adult film and magazine” These were people that want to go back to the Twentieth Century in thinking and living When it was Walt Disney, Rev. Billy Graham, Pat Boone led them and non whites and Hispanics knew there place. These people like there leader see Socialist around every corner the same way in the 1950’s Sen. Joe McCarthy seen Communist around every corner. A Good number of these people may not admit it but it comes down to they cannot accept that a Black Man is the President of the United States. On November 2nd 2010 We have to Stop these people and elect Democrats across the Board we cannot allow the Republicans to gain the upper hand in Congress WE MUST STOP THEM

The Tillman Story

The Tillman Story - For a documentary this was a captivating film. It tells the story of professional NFL player Pat Tillman who left behind a Multi Million Dollar contract to join with his brother Kevin to enlist in the US Army’s Rangers. Directed by Amir Bar-Lev it tells the story of a mission in Afghanistan when Tillman was shot in the head. The Military and US government initially said that Tillman was killed in heroic fashion in a firefight with the Taliban members of his platoon were given orders not to reveal what happen even to his brother Kevin who was at the tail end of the convoy. But little by little with lots of questions by his family especially his mom the truth finally came out as to what happen. Although evidence of who knew and how far the cover-up appears to have went all the way to The Bush White House only one 3 Star General was made a scapegoat . Pat knowing that because he was a high profile name that the military would want to use as a recruiting tool if something ever were to happen left written instructions that he did not want a military funeral. The military tried to push the family into signing onto one they refused and he did not have one. It is amazing to think that the US government and military would go to this length to cover-up a friendly fire incident but the United States government like all the worlds government’s is Corrupt and there call for patriotism is as corrupt. I believe before any country commits to a war it should be required to read THE WAR PRAYER by Mark Twain (Look it up really read it). Pat was not regiloius he was a atheist at his funeral service his brother Rich said “ Pat isn’t with God he’s Fucking Dead He wasn’t religious but thank you for thoughts but he’s Fucking Dead” Go see this Film

Stadium Security and Called ID

Stadium Security and Caller ID

I have been refused entry into local stadiums on consecutive days this week. On Tuesday I was refused entry into The New Meadowlands Stadium to see Brazil at USA ( $48.00) and on Wednesday I was refused entry into Red Bulls Arena for the game between Toronto FC and The New York Red Bulls ($22.00) both for refusing a “Security” Pat Down . This is not security it’s a invasion of personal space now I have nothing against security if you want me to pass through a metal detector as much as I don’t like it I would agree to that. but no more a Pat Down is something that should only be allowed if you are getting on a airplane at a airport or you are being arrested no exceptions. Now will I ever change my position on this and give in ? I can answer that question by another story involving Privacy concerns. When Called ID first came out I phoned my Aunt Flo she picked up the phone and said “Hi Bill” I asked “How did you know it was me ? This was my first introduction to Caller ID it upset me big time asking myself “I do not want whoever I am calling to know it’s me before they pick up the phone what is going on here” Caller ID was now a accepted form of intrusion that I wanted no part of how could I avoid this ? After a lawsuit by the ACLU ( I am a 20 Year) member there was a compromise with the phone company that if someone did not want there phone number showing on someone’s Called ID I chose this option. Sometime after this Caller ID was modified so if someone wanted to refuse to accept a call from someone that did chose to hide there number they had that option. All my friends that activated that feature were deleted from my phone book. I looked at it this way “Look when your phone rings answer it you do not need to know who it is before you answer it” But over time as more and more people started to use this feature it got to the point there was no one I could call anymore so I just threw up my hands and said “I give Up” and took off call block from both my home and cell numbers. So could the same thing happen to my view on Stadium Security pat down and again throw up my hands and tell the terrorist that flew those planes into The Work Trade Center “You guys Won I give up” it took me 20 Years to give in to the phone company and Caller ID so the answer is Probably as to when that is a question to be answered in the future. I just finished speaking with the Director of Security of the New Meadowlands Stadium I made good points he made good points. We understood each others Point of View his positions could even influence that decision for me. To do otherwise would make a mockery of the Open minded and diplomatic stances I say I believe in.

The Terrorist Win (let's admit it)

Last night I was refused entry into the New Meadowlands Stadium because I refused to submit to a Pat Down . I offered to empty my pockets but they said no. So I told them in no uncertain terms “You are not putting your hands on Me” to no avail I attempted to enter at two different gates and was told the same thing at both gates “It’s Stadium Policy“. With The US and foreign governments arbitrarily scanning e-mails, cell phone calls, telephone calls of people not suspected of any wrong doing,. The fact that you cannot go anywhere anymore without being on a camera it’s gotten to a point where you can be given a ticket at a red light with no human being anywhere around. The US Prison camp at Guantanamo Bay Cuba that President Obama during the campaign said he would close where people are being held without charges is still open. The President as did his predecessor George Bush has taken the position that he can order the assignation of US citizens suspected of terror crimes. Opposition to Mosque being built in lower Manhattan because of Radical Racial positions has convinced me that The Bad Guys (the terrorist ) have won we are curled up in the corner shaking changing everything we once were and the way we did things because of “security concerns” They must be laughing all over the Muslim world.
