OBAMA IS an opportunist politician who is in the service of global white supremacy. What cannot be easily explained, however, is how the vast majority of African Americans have been taken along this ride to neo-conservatism. And not just African Americans – the whole liberal establishment, from human rights activists who give political cover for the arrogant and racist assumptions contained in the doctrines of “humanitarian intervention” and the “right to protect,” to the business labor unions, anti-war activists, women’s organizations, civil rights groups, media – most pathetically personified by MSNBC – all of these groups have suffered a moral and political collapse that has allowed “normal” politics in the U.S. to be moved to the border of right-wing fascism.

ah. right wing fascism. King abhorred it. said so too.

so we need to fix that.

Bloomberg Hires GOP Lobbyists To Push For Gun Control

Politico reported on Tuesday that New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has added a stable of Republican lobbyists to help push gun control on Capitol Hill.

His most high-profile endeavor — Mayors Against Illegal Guns — and the super PAC he created last year are likely to spend tens of millions of dollars over the next year. And MAIG is bringing on Republican lobbyists to help woo GOP lawmakers skittish about being at odds with the National Rifle Association.

They include Carl Thorsen, of Thorsen French Advocacy, a former counsel to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas); Jamie Brown Hantman, president of the JBH Group and a former special assistant for legislative affairs to President George W. Bush; and Robert H. Marsh, of the OB-C Group, who also worked for Bush.

Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, confirmed the hires to TPM.

Enlighten us. Tell us about Obama's work history.
As I recall, Obama had two stints as a summer intern and some work on something called "Project Vote" and had never passed the bar and had never even seen the inside of a courtroom as a lawyer when he was somehow given a position on the faculty at the University of Chicago Law School.
Tell us more about Obama's (lack of a) work history.

I might suggest to enlighten yourself.

Obama passed the Bar Exam on 1991.

He became a lecturer a the University of Chicago in 1992. That makes you either a liar or stupid.

From 93 to 96 he was employed by a private law form in Chicago.

Too bad you were too stupid to know these things.

Perhaps you should learn to STFU until you get better informed.

BLAME OBAMA NO MORE BUSH Militarism

The US spends more on its military than any country in the world. The US spends more on its military than the next 10 countries combined! More than China, Russia, UK, France, Japan, Indian, Saudi Arabia, German and Brazil together.

The 2013 military budget authorizes spending $633 billion on our military defense, not including money for the Veterans Administration. The VA budget submission for 2013 is $140 billion. To compare, total federal spending on Social Security for 2012 was about $773 billion.

The US has 737 military bases outside the US around the world and over 2 million military personnel, including Defense Department and local hires.

The US leads the world in the sale of weapons in the global arms market. In 2011 the US tripled sales to $66 billion making up three-quarters of the global market. Russia was second with less than $5 billion in sales.

45% of the 1.6 million veterans from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are seeking disability benefits from physical and mental injuries suffered while in the service.

Suicides in active US military, 349 in 2012, exceeded the 295 total combat deaths in Afghanistan in 2012, according to the Associated Press.

Conclusion

These are challenges we should face with the hope and courage Dr. King and so many others have taught us as we celebrate his accomplishment and his inspiration.

BLAME OBAMA NO MORE BUSH The three great evils cited by Dr. Martin Luther King have proliferated since his passing. Here’s an index of their influence, today.



MLK Injustice Index 2013: Racism, Materialism and Militarism in the US

by Bill Quigley

“We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values…when machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” Martin Luther King, Jr., April 4, 1967

While the US celebrates the re-election of its first African American President and the successes of numerous African Americans in all walks of life, there remain troubling challenges.

While remembering how far this nation has come since Dr. King was alive, we cannot forget how far we have still to go to combat the oppressions of racism, materialism and militarism.

Racism

Whites have 22 times more wealth than blacks and 15 times more wealth than Latinos. Median household net worth for whites was $110,000 versus $4,900 for blacks versus $7,424 for Latinos, according to CNN Money and the Census Bureau.

African Americans are 12.3 percent of the population but 4.7 percent of attorneys.

Latinos are 15.8 percent of the population but only 2.8 percent of attorneys.

African American students face harsher discipline, have less access to rigorous high school classes and are more likely to be taught by less experienced and lower paid teachers according to a government sponsored national survey of 72,000 schools.

13% of whites, 21% of blacks and 32% of Hispanics lack health insurance, according to the Kaiser Foundation.

The latest Census analysis shows 9% of white families below the US poverty level and 23% of Black and Hispanic families below the same levels.

Truth is no SIN wrote:

The Obama administration’s vendetta against whistleblowers continues with the sentence of 30 months jail time handed down on Friday for former CIA agent John C. Kiriakou, who in 2007 acknowledged that US agents were involved in torture.
On December 10, 2007, Kiriakou was interviewed on ABC News about the capture of Abu Zubaydah, who the Bush administration claimed was an Al Qaeda “mastermind” and aide to Osama Bin Laden. In the course of the interview, Kiriakou acknowledged that CIA agents waterboarded Zubaydah.
Kiriakou’s statements about torture in the 2007 interview were ambivalent. On the one hand, Kiriakou stated that the torture of Zubaydah was effective in obtaining information. On the other hand, Kiriakou was apparently troubled by the political, legal, and moral implications of torture.
Whatever Kiriakou’s intentions in his initial ABC News interview, his statements represented the first public confirmation by a government agent that Zubaydah had been waterboarded. The interview was widely reported and lauded internationally, but it also made Kiriakou a number of enemies in high places.
Kiriakou’s 2007 interview represented a step forward in efforts to bring to light the criminal abduction, torture, and murder apparatus erected by the US government in the course of the so-called “war on terror.” The revelation that Zubaydah was tortured certainly implicated top personnel in the US government, as well as the torturers themselves, in war crimes and other serious violations of US and international law.
In the upside-down world of the US justice system, the orchestrators of torture remain at large, and Kiriakou is going to prison.

The terrorists are not part of any nation's military, although it is well known that they had state support.
If any Arab country that supported them had stepped forward and claimed them as theirs, then they would automatically qualify for the rights of the Geneva Convention. However, all the Arab countries that supported them pretended they didn't exist and they had never even seen them after Bush began kicking the terrorists' asses.
Their own homies threw them into the garbage.
So, what do you do now? You have these terrorists that no country claims and gives them the protection of the Geneva Convention, and they are part of a huge international terrorist network at war with the United States and have already murdered 3000 americans....

You beat them with a lead-filled rubber hose and pull their fingernails out with pliers and electrocute their balls and cut their ears off and pull their teeth and cut their fingers off ... and waterboard them until they tell you everything they know so you can kill the rest of them.

Period. End of statement. No regrets.

The conversation was about the vanishing TP.

Once again, you attempt to change the subject, because you can't defend your contention that the TP is thriving!!

You could just admit to being wrong, rather than run away from your original post, which had absolutely nothing to do with Clinton!!

Entitle Meant"

by Raymond Nat Turner



Entitlement meant you worked your asses off

Like a guide dog trained by Pavlov



Entitlement meant drippin' pearls of sweat

No Swiss Bank Account, yacht, or Learjet



Entitlement meant you worked your asses off

No big "bailouts" at the corporate trough



Entitlement meant slavin' nine to five

Not that bankster "too big to fail" jive



Entitlement meant livin' hand-to-mouth

Like in the "right to slave" South



Entitle meant terribly skewed ratio--

Of 400:1 pay, worker to CEO...



Entitle meant more fiscal hanky-panky--

Tiny Tim Geithner-Osama Ben Bernanke



Entitle meant parasites makin' their bones

Off derivatives and sub-prime loans



Entitle meant bribes for political actors--

Cost overruns of klepto-contractors



NO to the "fiscal cliff" and other shams

Of extortionists runnin' Madoff scams!
