The End of The Summer of 2012

Presently, the summer is nearly over. Its wild that times have been so dangerously hot in America that we are glad to have the 80s for a high in certain places of America. 80 degrees is like the new 70 now. So far in Virginia, August is cooler than I expected. I am not complaining though. Finally, the lows are in the low 70s. The media is talking about Aikens comments. Aiken is wrong, because rape is an abhorrent act that ought not to be diminished at any circumstance. We are human beings and we will disagree on certain politics, social, economic, and other issues. Yet, the dynamics of our dissent ought not to be made into an excuse to trivialize the degenerate act of rape. I will never vote for Mitt Romney, because hes more extreme on some issues than the ex-President George W. Bush. The 2012 Election is a very controversial election. We can expect a police state like atmosphere in both the RNC and the DNC among the cities of Tampa, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina (which is a growing city. A lot of businesses are there in Charlotte. Its similar to Atlanta). Both major candidates are nearly identical on foreign policy matters. Each man wants to give harsh, anti-human sanctions in Iran, they each agree with an almost paranoiac plan to try to contain China, and they refuse to offer a real progressive solution to the Israel/Palestinian issue (that deals with peace not apartheid). The foreign policy of the current President and Mitt Romney is a support of barbarism. Drone attacks killing innocent men, women, and children is barbarism. Targeted assassinations potentially against American citizens is an example of barbarism. The support of the neo-imperialist Africom and saying nothing publicly like a real man about barbarians lynching black Libyans are more examples of barbarism. This system didnt originate from the President Barack Obama though. It originated long ago among thousands of years of the elite harming the rest of society using various forms of evils. In the recent centuries, the oligarchy (under the system of white supremacy. White supremacy is an eternal enemy of mine. These same terrorists killed Trayvon

Martin, assaulted Rodney King, and murdered millions of people of color globally) situated themselves in Europe to permit the nefarious actions of imperialism, economic exploitation, and yes cultural exploitation in trying to dominate the worlds population. White supremacy is a lie, because the white man is not superior to black people or any other people at all. White supremacy is an enemy. The good news is that activists of every spectrum have fought back against oligarchy and against the varied forms of oppression. The world may be made of steel and stone in numerous capacities, but our hearts should never be composed of stone. Our hearts should have feelings of resiliency, truth telling, and yes love as well. The same people yelling about public programs ignore how privatization and unregulated markets have contributed to our economic recessionary conditions. I wholeheartedly reject the massive censorship transpiring in the Internet too.

You have the left side and the right side of the paradigm, but each other works for the bosses of the mainstream political system. See, you dont have to be clean shaven and bow before the Queen of England like a good mental slave in order to be a real person. No bootlicking is allowed. I believe in God, but what I dont agree with is an exploitative prosperity gospel. You either want to be like Jesus or Judas. We have a lot of Judases running around here trying to be someone that they are not if you know what I mean. LOL. The deceivers can lie all the way into Calvary, but uprights philosophies will carry on like the Universe. We ought to be ourselves and reject the wolf Republicans and the slick foxes who are the Democrats. I am an Independent. The current administration threatens to invade Syria under certain circumstances. US and NATO officials discussed plans for a possible U.S. invasion of Syria. Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad is the man that the rebels want overthrown or killed. President Barack Obama contemplated a direct attack on Syria at a press conference during Monday night. Further military plans were proposed via a delegation. This delegation was led by Assistant Secretary for State for Near East Affairs Beth Jones. Beth Jones discussed U.S. military plans with Turkey. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that Defense Department and U.S. intelligence officials met their Turkish counterparts to share operational pictures, and talk about what they can do effectively. Senior U.S. officials said that contingency plans for U.S. intervention in Syria include scenarios requiring tens of thousands of American troops. At a press conference at the White House Monday, Obama declared: I have indicated repeatedly that President alAssad has lost legitimacy, that he needs to step down. So far, he hasnt gotten the message, and instead has double downed in violence on his own people. The international community has sent a clear message that rather than drag his country into civil war he should move in the direction of a political transition. But at this point, the likelihood of a soft landing seems pretty distant. The President said that he would execute military engagements if chemical or biological weapons are moved or used in Syria. He said that the chemical weapons of Syria concerns people in region like the Israelis. He doesn't want these weapons to be in the hands of what he deems "the wrong people." President Barack Obama said that the red line for him is if Syria uses chemical weapons on the rebels or spread such weapons to others in the region. Another U.S. imperialist war could happen after Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, etc. Currently, the West is aiding al-Qaeda related forces in Syria who are trying to overthrow the Syrian President. They could get these stockpiles of weapons. These terrorists are bombing buildings and utilizing assassinations, yet the U.S. justifies these acts of the rebels as a means to promote some possible invasion. While at the same time, the US claims to fight against al-Qaeda. This is contradictory and hypocrisy to a great degree. Foreign Policy magazine is actually giving 2 cheers for terrorism. They respect the terrorists in Syria bombing the country up and assassinating innocent human beings. They have expressed this sick sentiment via the article entitled, "Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists." Gary Gambill is the general editor of the Neo-con Middle East forum. In the article, Gary concedes that the Islamists caused a lot of trouble for the Syrian government. The violence in Syria is caused by sectarian extremists not by pro-democracy activists. The Western now is trying to justify actions of the extremists in Syria. Gary Gambill continues to promote the same Islamophobic propaganda like the neo con extremists Daniel Pipes & Robert Spencer. Gambill wants the Assad government to fall. He hypocritically supports the same terrorists that fought U.S. forces in Iraq (and I didn't agree with the Iraq War at all). Now, these terrorists are in Syria and using

indiscriminate terrorist tactics against human beings. Gambill wants to promote the Sunni radicals as a means to defeat Iran. Gambill admits his agenda in the article. He wants to destabilize Syria in order to isolate and undermine Iran in the east (and contain Hezbollah in Lebanon to the West). This is the goal of Western interest. They play the Sunnis and the Shias against each other, which allows the West to win. They also want Iraq to follow more of U.S. interests. The Muslim Brotherhood is allied to the Pentagon in its control of Egypt. Seymour Hersh wrote an article called "The Redirection" in the New Yorker. Hersh proved that since 2007, America, Israel, and Saudi Arabia wanted to contain Iran plus Syria via the usage of Sunni extremist groups (which are overtly hostile to America, but they covertly are funded by Western interests. Some of these groups are sympathetic to al-Qaeda). Hersh proved that the Saudis gave funds to groups that weakened the government of the President Bashir Assad of Syria. Israel wants more pressure on Syria, so they can act more conciliatory for negotiations. Gambill wants more terrorists in this contrived war on terror. It's a historical fact that the Western interventions in Libya and Syria have undermined their governments, caused chaos, caused civil war, and proves that imperialism is a cancer. Gambill to cheer lead the same people that killed innocent Arabic civilians, innocent black Americans, and U.S. troops is truly hypocrisy at an extreme level. Eventually, the reckless promotion of terrorism Gambill and others are committed to will once again call US soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen into harms way either to fight nations defending themselves against US-sponsored terrorism, or to liquidate USsupported terrorists when their services are longer needed. U.S. policy papers desire a war in Iran if necessary and we should reject some preemptive war against Iran.

The people that fought for our civil rights will be heavily disappointed about today when some of us tolerate the huge abuses in the world from racial profiling, voter ID laws, and massive discrimination against human beings. The supremacists use privilege as a means to run roughshod in society as well. Malcolm X said these eloquent words too before he passed away (on February 14, 1965):

I want to thank you for coming out this afternoon -- this evening. I think it's wonderful that as many of you came out, considering the blackout on the meeting that took place. Also, [Milton Henry] and the brothers who are here in Detroit are very progressive young men, and I would advise all of you to get with them in every way that you can to try and create some kind of united effort toward common goals, common objectives. Don't let the power structure maneuver you into a time wasting battle with others when you could be involved in something that's constructive and getting a real job done. Probably, one thing I should've pointed out to you, that once we formed our new organization, once we became identified with the orthodox Muslim world, we also formed a group known as the Organization of Afro-American Unity, which is designed to fight all the negative political, economic, and social conditions that exist in our neighborhood. It's a nonreligious organization to which anyone can belong who's interested in direct action. And one of our first programs is to take our problem out of the civil rights context and place it at the international level, of human rights, so that the entire world can have a voice in our struggle. If we keep it at civil rights, then the only place we can turn for allies is within the domestic confines of America. But when you make it a human rights struggle, it becomes international, and then you can open the door for all types of advice and support from our brothers in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and elsewhere. So it's very, very important -- that's our international aim, that's our external aim. Our internal aim is to become immediately involved in a mass voter registration drive. But we don't believe in voter registration without voter education. We believe that our people should be educated into the science of politics, so that they will know what a vote is for, and what a vote is supposed to produce, and also how to utilize this united voting power so that you can control the politics of your own community, and the politicians

that represent that community. We're for that. And in that line we will work with all others, even civil rights groups, who are dedicated to increase the number of Black registered voters in the South. The only area in which we differ with them is this: we don't believe that young students should be sent into Mississippi, Alabama, and these other places without some kind of protection. So we will join in with them in their voter registration [Applause] and help to train brothers in the arts that are necessary in this day and age to enable one to continue his existence upon this earth. I say again that I'm not a racist, I don't believe in any form of segregation or anything like that. I'm for the brotherhood of everybody, but I don't believe in forcing brotherhood upon people who don't want it. Long as we practice brotherhood among ourselves, and then others who want to practice brotherhood with us, we practice it with them also, we're for that. But I don't think that we should run around trying to love somebody who doesn't love us. Thank you
So, we know that terrorist groups are a major force among the anti-Assad forces. Syria is divided along sectarian lines. Sunni Islamist forces, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have worked with the West in desiring some regime change inside of the nation of Syria. Even in Tripoli, Lebanon 4 people were killed and more than 60 wounded via firefights between Sunni Muslims and Shiite Alawites. We hope that America will not use military attacks in Syria, because a peaceful solution is superior to war mongering. Many nations have promoted a more peaceful solution over there. The West wants to have more energy rich and geo-strategically vital regions of the Persian Gulf and Central Asia. Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil wants a negotiation with the other side and even a possible Assad resignation (as being negotiable not as a precondition). Russia and China don't want a repeat of Libya. They don't believe in imposing democracy by bombs. They opposed 3 UN Security Council resolutions that could give the West a justification for U.S. aggression against Syria. So, the Syrian story continues. The future is uncertain, but the truth is that negotiation and peace should be a reality in that part of the world. One of the great revolutionary parts of my life was when I evolved on my economic views. It is right to tell the truth about these controversies or issues for silence is betrayal. For thousands of years, a select few have wreaked havoc and social destruction in the human race for nefarious reasons. Our economic reality has totally collapsed the arguments of Austrian economics, because the free market alone can never solve every social or economic ill known to man. The free market is not omnipotent and it is not God. It is right to advocate a system where the betterment of humanity is shown to all human beings not just the privileged few. Vulture capitalism took control of the world's economic and political system in the world by the early 20th century. It failed in our time in the early 21st century. In the economy, we have the exchange of goods and services and we should decide who controls the means of production (either by private means, public means, or a mixed control). Many companies act according to their own interests instead of promoting the people's interests. The human race is intelligent enough to handle its own economic affairs excluding oligarchy. The lies that the U.S. should attack any nation under any circumstances, that all manufacturing should be privately owned and that corporations should be taxed as little as possible have been refuted in our days. Even GE back in 2010 paid no major taxes. Predatory capitalism has no benefits for folks, especially the common man. The reason is that system makes human beings to be reduced into commodities of a sick order. Many successful movements developed after people took matters in their own hands and fought in the grassroots levels. These innovators opposed the concentration of power into a few hands. The same monopolists were the robber barons in America. They even influenced the cause of the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Even Franklin Delano Roosevelt was right to reorganize the economic and political structure of our nation that would help the American workers (beyond the interests of the Rockefellers and the Morgans).

The vulture capitalist system is responsible for the 2 world wars, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the war on terror, unemployment, bailout looting, poverty, and other forms of human misery. The steps we have taken toward in this human rights movement ought not to be diminished. To see the Bill of Rights, the Preamble to the Constitution, the American Declaration of Independence, the Social Security system, the women's right to vote, civil rights legislation, and other events were watershed moment in our progression to freedom and justice. Still, we need changes in our political structures in order to give all people true equality. Sometimes, the predatory system will throw in some bones to stop the more harsh practices of the machine (without ending the whole system and forming a better system). When you have a system where a cabal of people uses the state to enforce the domination of privately owned cartels and corporations, then you have fascism. This fascist group of the elite have attacked our constitutional freedom for centuries and now people talk about it more since 2001 (because even some realize that the domestic spying, the Patriot Act, the voter suppression, etc. are wrong, immoral actions).

The "2016: Obama's America" film is interesting. It's similar to the birther movement, but it's more sophisticated. It's part of the Left/Right Paradigm. The film says that since the President is bad, so we must be all Republicans. That's silliness since we have the right to be Independent politically or be in any party that we desire to be in. The Republican Party has proven to be in favor of not only austerity, but the war mongering, neo-conservative tenets, and some of their leaders have allied with fascist movements for decades. The film promotes the lie of Austrian economics or that the idea that tax cuts for the wealthy and draconian spending cuts will cause massive economic development in the world. The documentary is promoted by the notorious neo-con Dinesh D'Souza (he is an Indian American). The reality is that we should try to decrease the deficit long term, but now we need investments to build up our economic system here short term (even if means spending money to do it). He is pro-Roman Catholic too. The Knights of Malta, the Opus Dei, and the CNP are Vatican allied groups who are in league with the GOP (among numerous circumstances). The documentary promotes the lie that since the President has an international background and has ancestry from Kenya, and then he wants to take revenge for colonialism. President Barack Obama is a family man for the GOP using the ethnic card is sickening. Dinesh claims to promote peace with the images of candles (plus the peace sign) in his documentary, but he agrees with the evil war on terror (that caused Western war crimes, pollution, genocides, and sick anti-human sanctions). The same imperialists that oppressed Dinesh's own people are using him to promote globalization & neo-liberal propaganda (which is the economic agenda of these supremacists). Documentaries like these don't look at the big picture. The big picture is the corporate elite funds both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Both men agree with war mongering against Syria, the continuation of support for the corporate financier interests, and the surveillance state system that harms our human civil liberties domestically. Banking interests from Wall Street and London enhance the political movements of the 2012 Election. Every four years, we have the same theatre. Each candidate says nothing about real trade, the war on Drugs, or radical changes to poverty. They won't talk about a guaranteed annual income for all Americans. Both major candidates are nearly identical in their foreign policy views. You can make a case that Bush is just like Obama and Romney (except on some social issues primarily). Fortune 500 multinational corporations and banks in some cases have more power than sovereign nations. Corporate entities from McKinsey and Company, Goldman Sachs, Raytheon, and General Dynamics fund the Republicans and the Democrats. Yet, I am not apathetic though. The President is our brother and we should respect the brother President Barack Obama and his family. Still, we shouldn't bow before him though. I have hope and I do believe that real solutions are possible. Activists are right

that in the local levels, we should promote self-determination and use grassroots efforts to transform our own communities. We should get organized and educate ourselves about the issues of the day. Telecom monopolies, big oil, big defense, big agribusiness, and Big pharma's errors and corruption ought to be exposed. The growth of real local businesses can make solutions more palatable for human beings. We should exploit real technology that can further help people quicker and helper. If modern technology is invented to make access to health care faster, to make other solutions better, then all of us can benefit from it (from all socioeconomic classes). Our history and our culture shouldn't be made into a profit to be marketed by the mainstream entertainment industry. We have to work and be active to help our people period.

In our days, the political reality is here. We understand the corruption of both the Republicans and the Democrats. We realize the threats of the neo-cons and the establishment liberals (who bow at the feet of the Democrats, but refuse to expose the Western empire and refuse to talk about the evil Simpson/Bowles committee recommendations that will dismantle the legitimate portions of the Great Society & the New Deal). When the Democrats held 2 houses of Congress and the White House, the similarities policies from the previous administration still persisted. It's just that the Romney team wants a more radical austerity than the President wants. It is clear though that the Republicans aren't our saviors. The Republicans in their leadership promote the interests of the 1 percent, some of them love greed, evil voter ID laws, and many of them even advocate anti-civil liberty/anti-immigrant policies. Some people are voting for Jill Stein of the Green Party, Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party, and even the libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. At the grassroots level, it is feasible for people having the right to vote for candidates from the third and fourth parties. Some folks have tried the same script over and over again and a better result didn't came about. The left and right gatekeepers use tactics in trying to keep the citizenry in the corporate duopoly. The Electoral college ultimately determines the winner of the Presidential election. Still, I believe in voting. I don't want the voting rights of human beings to be thwarted at any juncture. People died for that right and that right ought to be respected. Folks should be intimidated by extremists who seek to hamper the right to vote. The right to vote ought to be permanently maintained. Now, I have some disagreements with President Barack Obama, but I don't hate the man. Some individuals hate the man because of political reasons, racial reasons, or personality reasons. On the other hand, it's our job to treat our neighbors as ourselves. We can agree to disagree on some points along with respecting the President and his family as equal human beings too.

What are some of the solutions that we can enact in order for us to see tranquility? The solution isn't indiscriminate violence. First, we should start in our own communities and advocate real economic principles. These principles includes that all human beings in the world should have access to food, and clothing. All human beings have the right to have a decent home. All human beings have the right to adequate medical care without exceptions. All human beings have the right to universal education. All people should have an opportunity to get a job and experience fair wages. Also, we should organize in independent organizations that fight against crime, violence, and poverty. If you get rid of poverty, the crime rate will go down. Joining citizen action groups, boycotting, and even working in cooperatives can help society as well. Nothing will be easy, but we have to start at someplace. Regardless of what the Tea Party, the CNP, or the Heritage Foundation would say, the reality is that social transformation of society via progressive means can enrich the hearts plus the minds of the human citizenry. We should continue to help our neighbor within legitimate foreign aid. As the late Hubert Humphrey once said many years ago via the eloquent words:

..It is immoral . . . to talk about surpluses when there are more people who are hungry tonight than are fed, more that are sick than are well, more that are illiterate than are

educated. Whats wrong with America when we talk this way. We dont have a problem, we have an opportunity . . . Any administration that cant figure out what to do with the God-given blessings of abundance of food and fiber in the world of the hungry, is an administration that is intellectually and spiritually barren. . . .

Both national conventions stir up emotions and omit the reality of our still bad economic situation. The halfhearted stimulus did help us to a limited extent, but we still have serious problems in this country. One is issue is how some corporations have offshored millions of American middle class jobs overseas. These jobs include manufacturing jobs and professional service jobs. Now, we have low paid domestic, non-tradable service jobs growing rapidly like waitresses, bartenders, and hospital workers. There is nothing wrong with those jobs, but job growth should be more diverse. Each party can talk about tax levels, job programs, and other issues, but to have job growth, you must deal with offshoring. Offshoring increases with the free trade policy. Offshoring will increase the GDP of other nations while lowering the GDP of America. Therefore, it is the same corporate power structure that finances both parties, boosts offshoring, and causes consumer incomes to be depleted. The Republicrats dominate our political system. The Democrats and the Republicans want propaganda as a means to control the masses. The neo-con Republicans want programmed electronic voting machines to stir the election in their favor. They use the disinformation tactic in falsely portraying the President as a non-citizen, as a Muslim, and as a Marxist. The reality is that the President is responsible for the deaths of Muslims in at least seven nations, he loves AIPAC, and he supports the agenda of Wall Street. Fundamentally, his policies on human rights are in favor of the military/security complex. Many Republicans will vote against Barack Obama because of disinformation. The Republicans hypocritical claim to support the legitimate Second Amendment, but they praise Bush 43, when he used other policies that violated other constitutional principles. You can't say you're a liberty loving Republican when the Republicans destroyed habeas corpus, due process, international law, the separation of powers, and other legal principles. The Democrats aren't perfect since as General Wesley

Clark said, the Democrats have continued their war mongering agenda. The good news is that 120 countries in the non-aligned movement condemned the war with Iran goal made by Western powers. Also, the Democrats faithfully continued some of the anti-civil liberty policies of the previous administration. It is wrong for the West to kill people in 7 Muslim countries. It is wrong for the West to militarily encircle Russia with missile bases plus having the provocative encirclement of China with air, naval, and troop bases. This is not a moral force. It's a potentially destructive force. A real leader will condemn the war on terror completely. Of course, President Barack Obama is wrong to use the executive branch as a means to assassinate an American citizen without the due process of law. Both conventions refuse to offer an independent investigation on the events of 9/11. Even first responders, architects, structural engineers, physicists, chemists, and national security experts question the official story of 9/11. Regardless of these risks, there are 1,700 architects and engineers who have sent a petition to Congress that they do not believe one word of the official explanation and who demand a real investigation. I am not in the one percent, so I don't believe that we should radically cut Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, housing subsidies, Pell grants, etc. Even though Obamacare is better than a Republican voucher program, we still need the sanctity of human life to be respected. We can respect it by ending these unjust wars and having an equitable, fair dealing foreign policy (including a guaranteed annual income for all Americans).

The election of 2012 has exposed Mitt Romney. Romney allies with the Tea Party to gain votes. The Tea Party promotes the lie that nearly all of the Framers opposed a strong central government when the truth is the opposite. Also, Romney is a man of the 1 percent. He seems to be disconnected with the common people with his comments on the poor and 47 percent of all Americans. Even when asked on 60 Minutes about his specifics of his tax plan, Mitt Romney refuses to give a comprehensive answer to the question. He just gives the bland answer of the devil is in the details. He doesn't have a real, cogent plan on bringing America to work except for tax cuts and the failed system of trickled down economics. People understand Romney's tax strategy. He wants to have a 20 percent income in tax rates and this can raise the deficit, which he claims that he doesn't want to do. He wants to eliminate or greatly curtail the mortgage interest deduction. This deduction is a tax break for home ownership. If the deduction is removed or phased out, there would be a decline in home prices. Some Americans will suffer badly in their home equity and harm the U.S. economy. It can reduce the spendable income of many middle class American homeowners that need goods and services. It can cause fewer goods and services are the deduction is slashed, which will remain fewer jobs and more layoffs. If more foreclosures and short sales exist, then millions of jobs could be threaten in the housing industry. Not to mention that there are independent studies that conclude that Romneys 20 percent tax cut would so reduce tax payments from the rich that his only alternative would be raise taxes on the middle class through elimination of more tax deductions. Mitt Romney wants more freedom in the American economy via less government intrusion. His version of freedom is pretty much to allow corporations to do almost anything they want in a spree market system. His version of freedom is to make Wall Street free from any form of government regulation, allow health insurance companies to continue to shed sick people form coverage via privatization, weaken labor union, end many environmental rules that oil companies must follow, and allow wealthy investors to pay lower taxes than the middle class and poor Americans. Mitt Romney is allied with the Tea Party movement, but Romney used stylistic changes from the Tea Party That means that Romney tries to make his words sound appealing to independents while the Tea Party revel in overtly presenting their reactionary, extreme rhetoric. Corporations aren't people regardless of what Mitt Romney proclaims. Romney accepts Mormonism unequivocally and that influences his thinking. Freedom to Palin, Romney, and Limbaugh means freedom from the federal government. Romney's suspicions of the government may relate to his grandfather's flight to Mexico during the 1800's (and the Fed's crackdown on Mormon polygamy and theocratic rule in

then Utah territory). Romney abhors the actions of securities regulators. The Tea Party legitimately exposes some governmental corruption, but they take it to the extreme in viewing any government intervention from the federal sector as being detrimental to a human society. The Tea Party accepts a historical revisionist view of American history. They are right to believe that the Revolutionary War was about the colonists to end the tyranny from the British Empire. Yet, they believe that the Framers uniformly wanted some impotent state governments acting as 13 nations (via the Articles of Confederation). The reality is that the Constitution clearly outlined the authority of the central government. The Founding Fathers wanted the federal government to be an engine for national progress not just sending rights to the states. Even George Washington and James Madison wanted the government to exist beyond state sovereignty. Washington supported the Constitution Convention to form the Constitution. Madison respected a strong central government and the federal Bill of Rights (which has superior political authority than states' rights). The narrative of all Founders believing in some states rights love is popularized by Glenn Beck and the Tea party. Ayn Rand's unbridled selfishness and magical markets have been refuted as well. We don't need states to act tyrannically or corporations to have person hood rights. The Constitution isn't perfect, but it was a framework with rules to address the needs of diverse and growing nation. Even the Tea Party's hero Thomas Jefferson organized the federal government purchase of the Louisiana Territories. During that time, the Secretary of State was James Madison. Alexander Hamilton wanted to promote his controversial national bank. Using federal authority to promote the general welfare of society is not only legal, but moral. These moral acts include the trust busting policies of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano's New Deal, Medicare, civil rights legislation, etc. The current President has passed laws that deal with the power of the federal government to attempt to help Americans (whether you agree with these policies or not) like the Affordable Care Act, the economic stimulus bill, the auto bailout and new Wall Street regulations. The liberty promoted by Mitt Romney is the denial of much of the social safety net among the many and the enshrinement of more tax cuts for the few. He wants corporations and the super-rich to do almost anything they want while allowing the states to dominate national governance (since even states can act tyrannical). He wants to defer to the states on national major problems like health care. The government can be corrupt at times, but we the people as found in the preamble outlines the right of the people to use the government in making the nation works. The Framers weren't perfect as many of them were slave owners who didn't want unrestrained democracy. Yet, Madison is right to allow checks and balances in order for society to prevent oligarchy. He is right to create the commerce clause where the federal government can regulate national commerce. George Washington and others wanted to use the federal government to fund the construction of roads and canals. So, we should promote freedom for human beings not give unlimited powers for corporations. Freedom should exist among all peoples in the world. Although, the current President isn't perfect and still fears losing the white male vote. That is why he or President Barack Obama proclaims centrist words during his First Term. The President's great intellectual genius doesn't justify his imperial foreign policy, his policies on civil liberties being similar to George W. Bush, and his slick quasi-austerity goals that he seeks to engineer during his 2nd Term (if he is reelection). You can't claim to love real laws when you circumvent international law and the sovereignty of nation... Mitt Romney is just more blatant in his abhorrence of some features of the social safety net. When a man like Mitt Romney says that I am not concerned about the poor, you know what time it is. Yet, freedom isn't about war mongering or brutal austerity at all.

Irrespective of the drama that percolates in our livelihoods, it is just for us to find time to enjoy life (it can be done hanging out with people, expressing humor, and doing other interesting activities). Life is a huge enjoyable experience. Life isnt all serious or all fun. Its a combination of complex functions and occurrences. Therefore, we should have a balance in order to develop our inner soul and replenish our thinking. If you fail in one moment in your life, all isnt lost. Just keep on moving forward and never give up. Also, I will never relinquish my right to express my intellectual capacities or wisdom here. God gave us a brain for us a reason. That reason is to invent, to inspire, to think, and to express creativity. Therefore, it is reasonable for all us to think critically about society, to call for solutions, and to advocate true education in the world (excluding the glamorization of nihilism). Following trends in order to seek popularity doesnt mean that youre real. Being real is expressing your individuality and not being ashamed of it irrespective of the numerous trends that spread in the chronology of human history. In every humans life, we feel moments of doubt, under appreciation, and uncertainty. These are fundamental common human emotions. Even, I have experienced these feelings before. On the other hand, what is most important is how you respond to feelings instead of wallowing in selfpity. Self-pity is a self-defeating attitude. The way to escape mental doubt is to listen to the heroic actions of our ancestors. It took a man to lead thousands of human beings to protect from Birmingham to Memphis in declaring that human liberty shouldnt be excluded on the basis of someones background or color. It took a woman to free thousands of slaves that were once held in horrendous bondage. If they can achieve such magnificent and awe inspiring contributions to the human race, then we can too. We can too since we are human beings and our wisdom & further insight arent deteriorated by time or space. The young should be acknowledged now for their tireless efforts in promoting peace, in believing in human freedoms, in abhorring discrimination, and using policies presently that seek to make true economic justice a reality. Also, a person should not be placed into prison if this person is an adult loving another adult in a legitimate fashion. Truth will crush doubt, so doubts will never be embraced by me personally in my psyche. My psyche will always respect hope, strength, care for the hurting, and loving the sanctity of human life. Internal personality (and the heart of a person) at the end of the day exceeds the superficiality of the external social order. Now, thats real. The truth will always be live and in living color. Our families ought to be strengthened, we should be our peoples role models, and we should start creating real independent businesses for our people. Yet, our socio-economic system presently

causes much of the chaos and there should be a radical change in our economic & political system. When a system and evil people deprive U.S. jobs, rights, respect, and freedom from human beings, this is not the fault of the poor. One of the signs of how a civilization is just is how a civilization threats the poor, the elderly, and the oppressed. To cut more taxes among the super wealthy and deregulate all of our system dont equate into economic prosperity at all. Weve tried Austrian economics (or trickled economics) for years. It doesnt work. Progressive policies work. Now, we still need to advocate excellence here. That means we should strive for success among all people. I value my own people and myself. Frankly, Im grown and Im going to be grown forever more.

Within the table of brotherhood and sisterhood, I will bless the food and I will the bless table. Yet, one thing for sure is that I will not bless my enemy.

Peace and Blessings to You.
