The Canadian Energy Company Enbridge, Corporate Deregulation Republican-Conservatism / Tea Partyism, Functional Illiteracy and the Abolishment of the U.S. Department of Education

The recent resulting scandal of the Marshall, Michigan oil spill by the Canadian energy company Enbridge shares a striking similarity with the Subprime Rate, Credit Default Swap Housing Crisis--which is people, families, victimized by Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism catalyzed corporate deregulation were functionally illiterate.

Those victimized persons and families in their functionally illiteracy unable to read and understand the release and waiver forms the Canadian Energy Company Embridge, a corporate behemoth thrust before them to sign away what little rights their abject humanness afforded them were ill-suited and ill-quipped to defend their inalienable right.

If Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism Intellectual-Liberalism and it's defense of conglomerate monopolies pursues absolute deregulation of corporate business practices and if the functional illiteracy of the middle and lower classes is a requisite.  Is it then surprising why we see Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism consistently advocating spending cuts in education and the abolishment of the U.S. Department of Education?

Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism and it's small government gambit needs a dumb electorate and citizenry to ply  it's Intellectual-Liberalism ravages.

Defense of Person, Family, Property and Barack Obama, The Cordoba House Mosque and Corporate Media

We all have the right to kill in defense of our person, family, and property.  But no one will advocate the wisdom of killing as a first response to threats against persons, family, property in a society is practical.  This is analagous to Barack Obama's comments on the New York, Lower Manhattan-Cordoba House Mosque.

Initially Barack Obama's comments presented the contextual environment for which the debate as it caricaturedly evolves over the Mosque should proceed.  Which Barack Obama presented as President of the United States.  Firstly, he reminded the Nation of the Constitution, as it applies to religious freedom of practice.  Then he later defined that his comments were practically not on the wisdom of the construction of the Cordoba House Mosque.  Lest the feeble minded within the body-politic misconstrue the Presidential function of defending the construction.

Critics and Corporate Media each according to their own specific interest latch on to the second qualifier and definitive.  That Barack Obama was hedging his initially comments.  It is at this juncture that Barack Obama's comments as Presidential function became Partisan Polemics.  Critics and Corporate Media for their own intent transformed and deliberately distorted Barack Obama's comment with critique that he was hedging and retracting his initial comments of the Constitutional Right To Build a Mosque instead of critics and Corporate Media pointing out that Barack Obama's comments were the most logical and practical of any comments about the Mosque to date he was attacked by Corporate Media for being commonsensically correct.

Reaganism and it's Republican-Conservatism / Tea Partyism Intellectual-Liberalism, Communist China, Value Speculation and George W. Bush Tax Cuts for America's Rich

Reaganism and it's Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism Intellectual-Liberalism, maintained it's suppositions because:

• Democratic-Liberal Progressive thought for a variety of reasons i.e. Fifth Column Unionist (Reagan Democrats) lacked the intellectual-rigor to expose the recklessness of the Intellectual-Liberalism of Reaganism.
• Concurrently there wasn't an objective fact narrative opposing Reaganism to expose it's Intellectual-Liberalism as gambit.

After thirty years of Reaganism Political-Economy and it's Value Speculation, which has consequently eviscerated the U.S. National Political-Economy with the objective fact of joblessness, infrastructural decay, a polluted environment, contaminated food supply, outsourcing of  jobs and the flight of Capital to the developing economies of Communist China, India, Brazil and South Africa.  The U.S. National Economy now has an opposing objective fact narrative in the form of the Peoples Republic of China (Communist China) and its explosive parasitic-international economy and it's growing with leaps and bounds National-Socialist economy.

Reaganism and it's contemporary Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism Intellectual-Liberalism because of the eviscerated U.S. National Political-Economy landscape is left without a scape goat narrative foil.  The less tax, small government sirenic sophistry which has worked in the past as gambit for the specific purpose of reckless exploitation is impotently insignificant because the impetus of capital with it's flight to Communist China has exposed the destructive reality of Reaganism on the U.S. National Political-Economy with the maturation of the critical mass point of no return, which is what the eight years of the Republican-Conservatism government of George W. Bush tax cuts for America's rich has done to the nation.

Sharron Angle's Goebbelesque Anticipations, The Democratic Party and the Naive Idea of an American-Political Center

Describing Nevada Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism candidate for U.S. Senate Sharron Angle's revelations that the media should do her bidding, as naive is folly by Democrats.  Democrats should go for the jugular and describe Sharron Angle's Goebbelesque anticipations correctly.

The Democrats and Democratic Party suffer from the political phenomena malaise of definition naivete by the unwillingness to take the Sharron Angle's of the nations Political-Economy to task.  The Democratic Party and Democrats are reluctant warriors in the historic struggle against reaction and backwardness because the Democratic Party itself has it's origin in Racism, Reaction and backwardness as it practices the folly of appeasement to the naive idea of an American-Political center.

Eric Holder the U.S. Attorney General, War on Drugs, Corporate Media and the Status Quo Narrative

Eric Holder, the current U.S. Attorney General is revising popular notions of criminality and criminals by his vigorous practice of equal opportunity prosecution of crime and the War on Drugs as prosecuted by Eric Holder is receiving it's just share of attention.

Drug abuse is not the young urban Black Male as is stereo-typically profiled by corporate media, mediocre state prosecutors and hack politicians who to achieve and claim political speculative power scape-goat the young urban Black Male as a criminal social being.

The face of drug abuse under the Eric Holder regime is Robert Marrow a 80 yr. old White Male Doctor from the unlikely drug infested state of Utah who has been an active entrepreneur in the illicit trade of controlled substances.  it is also Kyle Rusak a White entrepreneur plying his illicit drug trade with the on-line company Roots Pharm.

Eric Holder's Department of Justice contrary to the Neo-Conservative Department of Justice of former George W.

No. Because Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism thought and it's Intellectual-Liberalism is inherently and intrinsically on the misanthropic and unjust side of history.

Kathleen Koch Author of Rising from Katrina, The State of Mississippi, Hurricane Katrina, Human Spirit, Great Tragedy and Berkeleian Subjectivity

Kathleen Koch a former CNN reporter, author of Rising From Katrina, a perspective on Hurricane Katrina from the point of view of the State of Mississippi.  Presents the question: What is it about the human spirit that allows, enables and permits people, the human spirit to push on, to be optimistic in the face of great tragedy vis a vis Hurricane Katrina.

We find Kathleen Koch's premise, presumptuous, uneducated and quite frankly condescendingly paternalistic.  Kathleen Koch speaks about the triumph of the human spirit over great tragedy as if Hurricane Katrina and it's ravage of the State of Mississippi epiphanically and suddenly opened her eyes to it's profane mundanity.  We say profane mundanity, because triumph over tragedies whether great or small is what the human spirit dynamically and dialectically does on a daily basis in it's great struggle against ignorance, presumption and condescension, in the fight against Man's injustice to fellow Man.

It is ironic that Kathleen Koch uses the State of Mississippi and it's Hurricane Katrina experience as reference.  Which also is the medium by which she exposes her ridiculously stupendous ignorance at the expense of the great historical tapestry of human suffering and human triumph, a wealth of indescribable adversity and tragedy, that has always been there for her ignorance, it's alienation and privilege to redeem itself with.

The State of Mississippi and it's ability to dish out historical cruelty and injustice is relatively in a class by itself and as Hurricane Katrina relates to Mississippi the point can be made that it was karma---yet it's victimized Black people, their enslavement, the obscenity of Jim Crow to the contemporary fact of substandard quality of life as legacy have by mere fact of survival and existence proved the human spirit's ability to be optimistic in light of great tragedy and adversity.

Kathleen Koch didn't need Hurricane Katrina and it's impact on the elite, privileged and status quo of Mississippi to remind her and reacquaint herself with the human spirit and it's ability to triumph in the face of great tragedy and adversity.  She should have just opened her eyes and looked around pre-hurricane Katrina Mississippi and Kathleen Koch would have witnessed and experienced the triumph of the human spirit in great and small moments of tragedy.

The Book Rising from Katrina is just another example of Berkeleian subjectivity run presumptuously amuck.

The Book Conventional Idiocy by Rick Sanchez of CNN Rick's List, President Bill Clinton and Cowardice

The book Conventional Idiocy, is the effrontery of a disseminator of the news, a medium for information and platform for the education of the electorate, protesting the substance and Intellectual-Liberalism of the nations public discourse when the author CNN's Rick Sanchez is in the position to correct what he criticizes in his book Conventional Idiocy.

Rick Sanchez, the successful anchor of CNN Rick's List.  Has written a book Conventional Idiocy.  Discussing the State of the Nations Political-Economy.  Rick Sanchez's polemic exposes him to extreme criticism, not because his polemic is incorrect and idealistic, but because Rick Sanchez is part of the problem which he analyses in his book Conventional Idiocy.

Rick Sanchez and  his critique is part of a greater problem of which President Bill Clinton, with his Clinton Global Initiative is also an enabler.  In Bill Clinton's case, he was the President of the United States.  He had the bully pulpit during his Presidency to polemicize on that which his purported advocacy Global Initiative now tackles.

The twisted logic which Rick Sanchez and Bill Clinton are practitioners is that old bane of the Human Condition: cowardice.  It is Cowardice when in his role as Anchor for CNN Rick's List, Rick Sanchez is unable to call out the specific and generalized hypocrisy of those whom he interviews on the fundamental locus of the nations Political-Economy.

Instead after years of enabling the propagation of the suppositions and myths, evidence of the nations Intellectual-Liberalism Rick Sanchez  writes a book Conventional Idiocy decrying the nations Intellectual-Liberalism

It is cowardice when Rick Sanchez and President Bill Clinton present themselves as being able to tackle ignorance and idealism as private individuals removed from the authority of their profession and expect a fair appreciation from history.  Despite their cowardice and the Book Conventional Idiocy is it's fact.

The Cordoba Islamic Community Center, The Mosque in Lower Manhattan New York City , Fear and the United States Constitution

Besides the contextual bigotry and blatant lawlessness of the opposition to the construction of the Islamic Cordoba  Community Center,  commonly referred to as The Mosque in Lower Manhattan New York City.  The critics and opposition are not only wrong but are purveyors of the most base aspect of the Human Condition, which is debilitating and reactionary fear.  The critics and opposition to the Mosque are fundamentally confused and blinded by Fear.

The reality is construction of the Cordoba Islamic Community Center, The Mosque by Muslims is a symbol of atonement, tribute to the people of New York City and penitence for the alleged misdeeds of people who blended Islamic fervor into political activity with the suicide plane bombing attack on the World Trade Center and the people of New York City.

It behooves the imagination, how anyone can see the mosque as anything than atonement, tribute and penitence.  The Mosque if constructed will forever stand as atonement, tribute and penitence by Islamic orthodoxy to the people of New York City.  It will forever be a reminder of the human folly regardless of imperative.

Contrary to the fear based analysis by critics and opposition to the Mosque.  Those minds and hearts who plot attacks on America and it's idealistic Imperialism.  Do not embrace nor find affinity with the sort of Islam practiced by the Cordoba House Muslims.So it is strategically naive to say as expressed reactionary fear locus that the Mosque, Cordoba Islamic Community Center will stand as triumph for the Muslim World.

Whether the criticism and opposition to the Mosque in Lower Manhattan is a ploy to tilt New York sensibilities away from its Democratic steadfastness towards the Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism "cut the nose off to spite the face" brand of Political-Economy and it's nihilism.

Whether the criticism and opposition to the mosque is a reflection of the stupidity and illiteracy now rife and rampant in the body-politic because of Sarah Palin and the naive folly of corporate media.

Whether the criticism and opposition to the Mosque has it's genealogy in the American, Black-American question and it's Cold War of American Racism through which all other expressions of bigotry orient their reference.

Whether the criticism and opposition to the Mosque is another indication of how the Democratic Party, Progressives, Liberals and forward thought has fled the field for myriad of reasons, which the revision of freedom and it's Political-Economy definition now simply means the return to the arts and crafts World View is it's consequence.

When fear as it is pathetically now in vogue is used to sabotage and undermine the United States Constitution which is the only weapon against fear.  Should we then say that the American Experience on the Human Condition is firmly in it's death throes?

Roots-Reggae Music Genre, Christian Urban-Pop Music, the "Worldly" Culture Public Square and the Antagonisms and Contradictions of the Human Condition

Bob Marley (Photo credit: Monosnaps)

What is the difference between the Roots-Reggae music genre of the likes of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and contemporary Christian Urban-Pop music?
The Roots-Reggae music genre of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh e.t.c, is philosophically fundamentally Judeo-Christian.  It is biblical in nature specifically Old Testament polemics with a tint of
 the New Testament wit of Jesus Christ.  Contemporary Christian Urban-Pop music is also philosophically, fundamentally Judeo-Christan but tilted heavily towards the New Testament.  But it is also a stilted, starchy souless attempt at finding cultural resonance, a shameless mimicry of it's  cultural antithesis. Christian Urban-Pop music is a created genre for the specific purpose of competing with "worldly" popular music as a proselytizing tool.  Yet the critique against this utility is Christian Urban-Pop music fails to do so, while it remains a niche outsider decrying the purported immorality and irreligion of the "worldly" culture public.

On the other hand the Roots-Reggae music genre of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh e.t.c, enjoys extraordinary support and resonance among the target audience it shares with Christian Urban-Pop  music.  This presents a paradoxical question:  Why does the religious critique of Roots-Reggae music speak so movingly to the "worldly" culture public square, while the proselytizing logic of christian Urban-Pop music, caricaturizes itself?  The answer should be sought for in pretensions.  The Roots-Reggae music genre of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer e.t.c, speaks to the historical and universal injustices of the Human Condition as long as it's biblical contextual polemics is homogeneously just and equitable while exposing the hypocrisies and injustices of the Political- Economy status quo. Christian Urban Pop music on the other hand finds itself in a weird place called sanctimony: representing the hypocrisies and injustices it's very own Judeo-Christian medium origins Wars against.  While it's message is idealistically reduced to the cult of bibiliopersonalization worship and aphorisms at the expense of the organic insight and objectivity conveyed by Roots-Reggae music.

While the "worldly" culture public square struggles with the antagonisms and contradictions of the Human Condition, under the Love Thy Neighbor polemic.  Christian Urban-Pop quixotically flails at the wind mills of the same sex marriage and the abortion question.

John McCain has repeatedly shown that there isn't rhyme to his reason nor method to his madness, just the basic, unoriginal, simplistic abuse of privilege anchored by that age old futility and it's idealism--sense of elitism.

The Tom Coburn, John McCain 2010 "Summertime Blues" list of 100 Worst Stimulus Projects could only point out a minuscule of a minuscule of a fraction of the $862 billion Recovery Act of 2009.  This Tom Coburn and John McCain list of 100 Worst Stimulus Projects, contrary to the Senators intent and anticipation does the opposite. It affirms the Stimulus and what the Obama Administration and the Democratic leadership of Congress intended it do.  Which is simply support the U.S. National Economy as it labors, struggling to recover from the asphyxiation speculation of Speculative-Value Economics and nihilism of Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism recklessness, represented by George W. Bush tax cuts for the super rich.

The list itself, which is in third edition is wasteful, it should be listed as wasteful government activity.  The 2010 "Summertime's Blues" list by Senators Tom Coburn and John McCain is a desperate political play a court jester like effrontery which exposes the irony that it's principals are circumstances of the very court mocked.

The 2010 "Summertime Blues" list of the 100 Worst Stimulus Projects as pointed out is a hair fraction of the $862 billion Recovery Act of 2009 which was life support for the nations economy after 8 years of Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism destruction under George W. Bush and the mere fact only a minuscule of a minuscule of a fraction is found to be wasteful only affirms that the rest of the Stimulus Projects are working and Senators Tom Coburn and John McCain should have voted for the Recovery Act 2009.  Participated affirmatively in it's implementation and assumed their obligation for the nation as United States Senators.

Employment, The Human Condition, The Contradiction and Antagonistic Fact of Republican-Conservatism / Tea Partyism World View and the Invaluable Satisfaction of Value

The more technologically advanced and infrastucturally developed a society becomes, the more it's employment opportunities should be a premium.  Because the more advanced and technologically developed a society is, the more specific, niche and compartmentalized it's society becomes as the redemptive dynamic of the Human Condition collapsing into the philosophical phenomenon, thing for itself obtains it's inexorable realization.  Which then is the value and valuation of it's sets of relations.

The dialectical opposite of this phenomena is: The technologically least advanced and infrastructurally least developed of societies have the unrealized logic of total employment, because all parts and sectors of such societies have the unfulfilled potential of societies development.

The reality however is even though both socio-models of the Human Condition are in contradiction of the above.  In the case of the least developed the contradiction is blatantly antagonistic because when it would seem that populations of the least developed would have total and universal employment as their society's logically pursued infrastructural development.  The reality is a perversion of value, the idealistic definition of value and what is money presents the antagonism of majority unemployment as an artificial inexplicable circumstance.

This is the contradiction and antagonistic, fact of Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism World View, the inability to grasp the invaluable satisfaction of value.

Of course reaction and bigotry still resonates among the misery loves company, clinging to guns, family, and religion gullible of the nation.  For whom the salience of American politics is that Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans and "others" are happily content to fill every room in their "Ghetto" hovels with flat screen t.v.'s a'la Mark Williams (the denounced element of the Tea Party Express) with the measly crumbs that Welfare provides.  As if the economic stability of any American entrepreneur and the employed is being compromised and actually threatened by the  poverty rations of Welfare stipends.

The enemy of American Political-Economy contrary to Republican-Conservatism-Tea Partyism theology and demagoguery of which the Shirley Sherrod incident was a flash point, is not Welfare and it's recipients (of whom are majority White, but for inflammatory purposes are always portrayed as Black a'la' Ronald Reagan's Welfare Queens).  The enemy of American Political-Economy is the destruction of the nations manufacturing base which historically provided jobs for the consuming classes on whose backs the national economy of which credit is it's symbiosis stands.

For this destruction of the nations manufacturing base we have administrations of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and the capitulation of the nations major labor unions to blame.  It is with George w. Bush did we see the catastrophic impact to a Political-Economy that derives itself of enough circulatory crumbs to it's consuming classes to maintain it's viability.

The dynamic of the Shirley Sharrod incident despite it's emergence under the  racism dialectic is firmly a fact of American-Political Economy and it's idealistic pursuit  of  Speculative-Value Economics and it's inexorable nihilism.  Opposition to this nihilistic fact is the intrinsic germ of Democratic, Progressive-Liberal politics and it's forward thought and the Shirley Sharreod incident now allows the Democratic  Party,  Progressive-Liberals, forward thought and the Obama Administration the relevant polemic to firmly respond to the reaction and bigotry of Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism.

Religion is the New Racism, Intellectual-Liberalism, Charity and it's Political-Economy Contradictions

Religion is the new Racism.  Specifically it is that old friend tyranny guised up under the Johnny-Come-Lately of the monkey see monkey do banner of that lover of the Human Condition, ignorance.

Racism being intolerance and beyond the pale is understood by the most backwardly naive to the sophisticated cynic.  But religious intolerance in all it's diverse forms thrives from planes slamming into the Twin Towers and Pentagon to the shrilling babel of voices across the land that places of unfamiliar worship and fellowship are sinister and evil.

Intellectual activity during ages past were of reason and enlightenment, laboring for tolerance and selfless apathy.  Intellectual activity in the age of religion is the new Racism labors for intolerance and it's defense.  It is Intellectual-Liberalism resurrecting the most crass, idealistic and misanthropic attitudes.  Religion is the new Racism is selfishness wrapped in the mantle of charity and it's Political-Economy contradictions.

From every religious fundamentalism to it's reaction and intolerance, religion is the new Racism has pathetically shown itself to be the bastion of Farmers Almanac aphorisms, pop psychology and snake oil charlatans.  Each hypocritically requiring it's purported antithesis for survival and existence.

Breast Cancer Misdiagnosis and Health Care Reform of 2010

So how different is this recent revelation by the New York Times that 17% of the type O Breast Cancer are misdiagnosis and the invasively harsh treatments, disfiguring and life threatening procedures are unnecessary, due to a Health Care status quo system which is human error laden from the conclusions during the debate of the Health Care Reform of 2010 of the very same findings as The New York Times article.

So If this recent incarnation of the same once ridiculed position pre Health Care Reform of 2010 finds resonance after passage of Health Care Reform 2010 and is now seen as a plus furthering the health of our Mothers, Wives, Daughters, Sisters, Aunts, Grandmothers and all of the relevant Women in our lives.  Why weren't we this clear headed over this issue of Breast Cancer misdiagnosis during the Health Care Reform process?

Democrats, Progressives, forward-thinking people and the Obama Administration have once again been proven right that opposition to Health Care Reform was driven by illiteracy, ignorance, economic exploitation by the Health Care industry and political exploitation by Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism.

Republicans in the U.S. Senate, Unemployment Benefits, Jobs and Populist Anger

If Republicans in the U.S. Senate are against extending unemployment benefits and have filibustered it, held it up, obstructing it's passage and simply saying no to it.  Because from their world view as prescribed by Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism providing unemployment benefits is a disincentive to the unemployed looking for jobs.

Then Republicans in the U.S. Senate are saying there are jobs to be found and they disagree with the fact officially the unemployment rate is 9.5% and unofficially 25%.

Then Republicans in the U.S. Senate are hypocritically at odds with their very own polemic against the Obama Administration, which is job creation.

Republicans in the U.S. Senate have decided upon a political activity of obstructionism for the specific purpose that it heightens and intensifies the social sense of desperation and frustration due to the  nations fundamental economical instability and the lack of jobs which ironically is Republican caused.  Which from Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism calculation will cause and incite Populist anger at Democrats and the Obama Administration.

The Republican-Conservatism /Tea Partyism Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle on Civil Union and "Societal Importance"

The reason the Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle gave for vetoing Hawaii's Civil Union Law that it is of such "societal importance" it requires Hawaii's citizens voting in a referendum is the sort of tautologic, double speak nonsense that indicates political cowardice and is always to be expected of the reactionary dynamic of Republican-Conservatism/Tea partyism political theology.

If the metric for Linda Lingle's veto is the generic "societal importance", then Hawaii must dissolve it's legislature and govern by referendum fiat.  Because every single law and act done by it's legislature is under the logic of "societal importance".

It is not surprising that the Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle indulged in the reactionary sophistry typical of the idealistic debate of Civil Unions, Homosexuality, religious inconsistency and hypricy, that the misery loves company of Republican-Conservatism/Teapartyism revels in.

Jack Dolan of the L.A. Times, California's Money Woes, Welfare Recipients, Strip Clubs and Journalistic Integrity

Jack Dolan of the L.A. Times reminds us that  idealism and an inability to think analytically has nothing to do with ones formal education and academic pedigree.

In light of California's money woes, Jack Dolan took on the task of exposing California's fiscal mismanagement in recent writings.  So what his journalistic investigative acumen settled on was the misuse of the states Welfare cards by it's Welfare recipients at strip clubs, casinos e.c.t.  Simply put Jack Dolan settled on maintaining the status quo of popular suppositions that governmental money mismanagement lies at abuse, misuse and irresponsible behavior by it's least stable and marginalized elements.

It would have been a breath of freshness had Jack Dolan of the L.A. Times one of the nations great publications, settled on tracing and defining California's Political-Economy historic missteps, instead of the expedient exploitation and opportunistic relevancy of California's Welfare recipients on why the Great State is $19 billion in the red.

Journalistic integrity would require Jack Dolan, for starters to show the idealistic nature of California's prison system and it's criminal drain on the public's fund.  Investigative acumen would demand Jack Dolan's intellectual rigor in exposing money mismanagement by police departments within the state of California owning Military tanks (why should a police department own military tanks, doesn't the National Guard fulfill that role?)

It is always easy to misdirect the public's ire at it's marginalized and scape goat it's Welfare recipients for all the it's ills and Jack Dolan does exactly that with his Welfare card scam writings.  But as mush as Jack Dolan anticipates a Pulitzer in his future what he deserves is condemnation, scorn and disdain for his type of journalism.

Rand Paul, his campaign for the U.S. Senate under the banner that it is  forward thinking and constructive is an outright lie.  The historical fact is the Rand Paul political tendency is a deconstructionist, reactionary and backwards activity that serves two objective facts: (A) It enables crass economic exploitation and the concurrent abject poverty (B) It permits the redirection of the resulting misery towards the misery loves company dialectic, where the Human Condition is reduced to a state of perpetual alienation.

Republican-Conservatism / Tea Partyism is showing that it supports the lawlessness and endemic corruption inherent within the corporate structure of the oil industry, by it's amazingly naive criticism of the $20 billion escrow fund, the Obama Administration has secured from BP in response to the BP Gulf Oil Crisis.

Contrary to the criticism, the $20 billion escrow fund secured by the Obama Administration does not go far enough.  The Obama Administration should freeze and seize BP's assets if the premise and allegation is BP committed criminal acts and broke criminal laws, then the Obama Administration should and must do is freeze and seize BP's assets.

If the federal and state governments freeze and seize what are colloquially described as ill gotten gains accumulated during criminal activities as illegal drug enterprises and if BP amassed and accumulated wealth because of criminal acts and broke criminal laws then a $20 billion escrow fund is an idealistic, illogical and farcial response when contrasted with the historical-practice of petty, illegal drug violations resulting in the forfeiture, freezing and seizure of assets and ill gotten gains.

there is an aspect of bias within the editorial-perogatives of the nations corporate media shown by NBC's Today Show that has nothing to do with it's equal opportunity and affirmative employment practices.  But is insidious in it's omission of portraying Black-American culture in prosaic, generic and mundane settings which intellectually lend it's bias familiarity.

Public Relations, BP Gulf Oil Crisis, The Oil Industry, Lower Gas Price and the United States Market

In light of the fiasco and public relations disaster of the BP Gulf Oil Crisis for the oil industry, the oil industry has decided and made a business calculation to lower gas price for the United States market.

True to form, corporate media and shills for the oil industry have struggled to explain away the comedy of the dramatic drop in gas price since the disaster of the deep water horizon oil rig and the resulting BP Gulf Oil crisis, but the oil industry has it's very own past logic against it.

Historically the United States market has experienced the oil industry using any and all incidents to justify gas price increase.  So using that calculus and metric, gas price because of the BP Gulf Oil crisis should be soaring but is not, instead there is a steady decline.

The  oil industry has decided now is not the time to further incite and enrage the United States market considering the BP Gulf Oil Crisis and the public's view of the oil industry is at an all time low an increase in gas price.

The 5/20/10; Spectacle at an Iranian Hotel Lobby, Organized Violence, Espionage and Humanitarian Gesture Naivete

There is this recurring naivete consistently displayed by enemies of the United States, particularly it's Third World enemies as Iran.

Does anyone in their right mind believe or dare imagine the United States and it's organized violence permitting relatives of it's detained and imprisoned suspects of espionage physical contact visits and a press conference as the Islamic Republic of Iran permitted it's detained Americans with their mothers?

Iran's thinking and calculation is by allowing such a visit as a humanitarian gesture it shows the world a face that is at odds with it's antagonistic international.  But the problem with this calculation and it's phenomena by Iran, it's past practitioners, Libya, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, North Korea and all those Third World nations who naively pursue it, is: It never accomplishes the intent of polishing their image nor mitigating the antagonisms.  Instead it only reinforces the prejudices against them while undermining their sovereign motive imperative.  A quick example of this is if Iran felt that seriously about it's espionage charges against Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal why would Iran undercut it's severity by permitting the spectacle of 5/20/10; at an Iranian hotel lobby.

CNN's Anchor Don Lemon a Token, Collaborator Who Allowed Ari Fleisher, A Zionist to Exploit the Black-American Experience

CNN's Anchor Don Lemon has long sinced griped that to some in the Black community he's nothing more than a token, collaborator who parrots his master's narrative peppered with the practically irrelevant therapeutic tale of a Justice Clarence Thomas like against all odds lament.

Make whatever one makes of Helen Thomas comments, but Ari Fleisher's feeble attempt at comparing Israel's pathetic and unjust struggle against the Palestinian people with the moral equivalency of the Black-American experience and the Cold War of American Racism, only shows his cognizance that Israel's Palestinian question is untenable.  Fleisher's case would be to compare Thomas comments with European invaders and Colonizers of North America being told to return to European ancestral lands, because both lands Palestine and North America share the commonality of European invasions.

True to form CNN's Don Lemon's silence in the face of Ari Fleisher exploiting the Black-American Experience is another fact in Don Lemon's continuum of being a token and collaborator.

Michael Boyd An Apologist-Hack for the Airline Industry and "Bureaucrats" and the Iceland Volcano

During a 4/21/10; CBS interview of Michael Boyd of the Boyd Group, a self-styled expert on Commercial Aviation and Airline practices on the recent disruption of Airline services by the eruptions of the Iceland Volcano.

Michael Boyd blames and put the onus of the disruptions of services and ensuing chaos of millions of Airline travelers stranded globally on "Bureaucrats".  Boyd argued that the Bureaucrats of United Kingdom's air traffic, ignorant to the intricacies of running the Airline Industry acted recklessly by shutting down air space which in turn has hit the Airline Industry's bottom line to the tune of appx. $1.2 billion.

Boyd's gambit point was an airline will never place it's airplanes and passengers in a dangerous and life threatening situation.  This argument is patently false, misleading, deceptive and insidious.  The Airline Industry is on record with it's practices that place profits at the expense of safety and commonsensical convenience of it's passengers.  It is profitable for an airline to simply pay the fine and damage awards against it's practices when, plane crashes and disasters happen than spend the amount required to improve airline safety.

As Michael Boyd was being an Apologist-Hack for the Airline Industry on CBS.  It was being reported that upon the resumption and commencement of flights, those hapless travelers who had been stranded at airports globally would retreat to the back of the line and newly bought ticket-holders would receive preferential treatment.  Which in plain passenger speak means the airlines need cash on hand.  Those stranded passengers who having spent money already and were waiting on seating or were in connecting flight transit will have to wait and be inconvenienced for another number of days till it becomes ethically necessary to accommodate them on planes.

this is the omnipotence and omniscience of the Airline Industry to which Michael Boyd Apologist-Hack for the Airline Industry argues should not be regulated nor dictated to by responsible governance.

Virginia's Republican-conservatism Governor Bob McDonnell's Proclamation Honoring the Confederacy, Open Political-Action and the Dialectic of Backwardness

Much and a lot has been said of Virginia's Republican-Conservatism Governor Bob McDonnell's Proclamation that the month of April is Confederate History Month, honoring the Confederacy of Southern States.  Progressive and a majority of Black people have criticized it.  Reactionaries, Bigots and a handful of insane and self-loathing Black people have expressed their support.

Apropos The Blog will not indulge in the gambit of renarrating all those pertinent facts of American history, specifically the Civil War/War Between the States of 1865 and it's primary cause.  The Confederacy of Southern States, The Period of Reconstruction, The Emergence of Jim Crow Laws which culminated in the Civil Rights Movement.  Because it has been exhaustively documented and the very exegesis of contemporary American Political-Economy affirms the generality and particulars of the Confederacy of the rebellious southern states.

Instead Apropos The Blog will focus on certain opportunistic aspects for open political-action which Bob McDonnell's proclamation presents Progressive and minds and hearts on the right and just side of history in the advancement of combating reaction and it's Republican-Conservatism medium.

• Governor Bob McDonnell's proclamation reminds us and it reaffirms the antagonism that Republican-Conservatism is misanthropic, revisionist, reactionary, backwards and always on the wrong and unjust side of history.
• In having to revise the proclamation and include the Slavery fact Bob McDonnell ended negating the intent of his declaration, when he was compelled to state, Slavery as the cause of the Civil War and as a set of relations was evil.  This clearly indicates the schizophrenic and reckless consequence of Republican-Conservatism thought.
• This is first and foremost a struggle against the dialectic of backwardsness.  The very idea of Antebellum, Pre-Civil War Southern States Political-Economy, with the exception of Texas was at odds with the dialectic that impelled the United States as an idea notwithstanding that certain Radical-Virginians theorized the establishment of the United States.  It all the more affirms and exposes the antagonisms of Southern Political-Economy, particularly the Virginia Gentleman Farmer, which Bob McDonnell's declaration continues.
• Progressives and minds and hearts on the right and just side of history cannot simply ridicule southern backwardsness as once again expressed by Virginia's Republican-Conservatism Governor Bob McDonnell.  But Backwardsness must be refuted by tactical open Political-Action in all its ingenuity.

The struggle is real.  Our hearts and minds are unified.

Terrorism and Air Travel Security in the United States and the Israeli Model

Terrorism and Air Travel Security in the United States since the 9-11 attacks has taken on a nuanced discordant narrative due to it's cooption by that failing---political opportunity.
The Israeli Model has been touted and presented as an example of a nation that gets it right on fighting Terrorism and being smart on Air Travel Security.  The reality is the Israeli Model as contrast for the United States is a simplistic, idealistic and reckless exercise.

Comparing the Israeli Model of Air Travel Security with the reality of the United States has only one objective: political opportunity.  In the sense that it's proponents seek to show that Israel is useful to the United States, even superiorly practical.

The consequence nonetheless is simple.  For the purposes of Terrorism and Air Travel Security, the Israeli Model is irrelevant and abjectedly insignificant.  Israel's security concerns are specifically narrow. The Israeli Model contends with a specifically profiled demographic.  Israel is not a nation that enjoys robust travel activity when compared to the United States.  Only a certain type of traveler goes to Israel and for easily monitored reasons and that permits and allows the Israeli Model an idealistic convenience.

The United States on the other hand is a destination for the four corners of the earth.  it deals with a true demographic plurality and it's Air Travel Security concerns are truer and correct than the propagandist advocacy of the Israeli Model.

Evangelical-Fundamentalist Christians, particularly those from the Southern United States, have consistently denounced the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican and the Pope.  Conspiracy Theorist find the Catholic Church a font for never ending global domination fears and it's role as the symbol of days in biblical revelation as the Whore of Babylon is legend.  So the charges of Pedophilia by Catholic Priest and claims of the ensuing cover up which now haunt the Papacy of Pope Benedict, formerly Cardinal Ratzinger does not come as a surprise.  Naturally as such tends to be the case the Catholic Church and the Vatican has found itself under that human conditional imperative of defending itself and not relying on it's deistic teachings to do so.  In other words Catholicism has rediscovered it's Adamic Profanity.

Then there is William Donahue, the Director of the Catholic League and sanctimonious defender of Catholic Political-Economy.  Who on the 3/30/10; Larry King on CNN pronounced that sexual molestation of post-pubescent kids is not Pedophilia but Homosexuality.  Then in his omniscience William Donohue proceeded to defend Catholicism, a faith based exercise which per virtue, is devoid of scientific, evidence-based examination, with the infamous and I paraphrase, I'm a Social Scientist show me the evidence.  In confessional booths across the Catholic empire priest accept confessions of sins without the cynicism of evidence based examination.  Yet when the accused is the pedophilic empire of Catholicism William Donohue mocks both the faith based imperative of his Catholic Church and the intelligence of all those Catholics who historically devoid of reason have spilled their guts to child molesters in frocks!

Tea Party Naivete, Social Security and Anarchic-Idealism

On the 3/29/10; Larry King on CNN, a couple of  the Tea Party leadership were allowed to spout their naivete, illiteracy and bigotry which concurrently became an educable moment to the rest of the nation.

On the question of Social Security one of the Tea Party activist repeated that old Ronald Reagan propagandist lie, that Social Security is insolvent.  Applying the disingenuous argument that there isn't any "cash" in the Social Security account.  With the implication that macro-scale, governmental monetary activities are interchangeable and scale comparable with micro-scale, individual-private bank accounts.

My point is: If the lattice and structural base upon which the nations Political-Economy stands is least understood by it's critics and detractors and even when an attempt is made to grasp it's mystery, naivete and pat assumptions are substitutes for it's cognition.  Why should Tea Party critique on all fronts resonate beyond the crass, infantile, anarchic-idealism it is?

Republican-Conservatism, Bigotry, The Governmental Dynamic of The Obama Administration and the Healthcare Reform of March 21, 2010

Republican-Conservatism might not be bigots in skin yet they shy away not from donning it's mantle.  Specifically when it permits the susceptibility and receptiveness of their ploys in attaining the reins of political power solely in it's speculative sense.  Because in the absence of Progressive thought, Republican-Conservatism pursuit of political power is merely an academic speculative exercise.

When government is reduced to a paradigm of diminishing intent, it is primarily in stasis which in itself presents an interesting conundrum to the governmental dynamic of being the center of the contending flux of the social-contract and it's dialectical tyrannies.

Republican-Conservatism in the Governmental dynamic of The Obama Administration acted out it's historical role and duty during the Healthcare Reform struggle of 2009 and 2010.  Through the Town Hall and Tea Party deviation to the historical 70 year in the making 219 to 212 vote triumph of March 21, 2010; under the gavel of Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
