Shape up Democrats: Anybody But Bush Will Not Do

New Link

Here's a new link I'm adding.

Where America Is Headed

This article from Breibart sums it up:

Even though manufacturing jobs have been declining, the country is enjoying the lowest average unemployment rates of the past four decades. The reason: the growth in the service industries—everything from hotel chambermaids to skilled heart surgeons.

Eighty-four percent of Americans in the labor force are employed in service jobs, up from 81 percent in 2000. The sector has added 8.78 million jobs since the beginning of 2000.

Although these workers have been largely sheltered from the global forces that have hit manufacturing, that could change as satellites and fiber optic cable drive down the cost of long-distance communication. Today it is call centers in India and the Philippines but tomorrow many more U.S. jobs could move off shore.

Some economists say the United States is experiencing a normal economic evolution from farms to factories and now to service jobs.

If you're one of the unfortunate people who has lost his or her job, I suggest that you find a new career that will not be outsourced. I honestly do not think that America can continue as the #1 nation in the world will the majority of its workforce being employed in the service industries.

Bush

Here's more spin and propaganda from Bush:

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Saturday that a Democratic plan to set an end date for the war gives "our enemies the victory they desperately want."

This guy is delusional and dangerous. He needs to be removed from office but the Democratic Congress does not have the balls to impeach him. The Iraq war was based on lies and should be ended immediately.

Movie Theater Patron Bill of Rights

I found this on Craigslist Rants & Raves. I disagree with #6 but everything else is o.k.

Wouldn't it be nice if the purchase of a movie theater ticket guaranteed that anyone violating any of the items listed in this Bill of Rights would be removed from the theater?

Movie Theater Patron Bill of Rights

1. Talking in a voice above Tinker Bell's whisper even during the coming attractions.
2. The use of a cell phone in any way including, talking, instant messaging, game playing or even just opening the phone to check a message as just the light from an open phone in a dark theater is distracting. (All cell phones should be left in the car. If you can't be in a theater for 2 hours without checking your phone then you have no business being in the theater. Stay home and catch it on DVD when it comes out.)
3. Any child under 3 will not be allowed into any showing of any movie at anytime. If the parent is not wise enough to grasp that surround sound is harmful to all humans but especially to infants then the child should be taken from said parent. This eliminates the crying baby issue during the movie. The mommy or daddy that does not want to miss the movie so they sit there ignoring the little annoyance are criminal.
4. No child under 12 will be allowed into a PG13 or R rated movie even with parental supervision as the "What does that mean Mommy" is disrupting to all. Continued conversation between children or their parents will not be tolerated unless Right #1 is followed. If your child cannot talk in a whisper then do not bring them to the theater.
5. If you are a parent and you have a child that is constantly talking or cannot sit still then you will leave the theater with your child immediately. Your lack of parenting skills should not be the problem of the others trying to enjoy a movie.
6. If what you are consuming makes a lot of noise stop eating it. You are not allowed to bring food in that was not purchased at the theater. This is a movie not a camping trip. The theater makes 85% of its income off the over priced candy, soda and popcorn. If you enjoy the movie going experience then buy your food when you arrive or the theater you enjoy will go out of business. If you insist on eating and drinking in the theater and can't afford the cost then you stay home or don't eat at the theater. Two hours of not eating will not kill you but that constant unwrapping of cellophane around your make shift meal might get you killed. (Nachos... what were they thinking when they started selling that loud food).
7. If you laugh at a funny part of a movie do so because it was funny not to promote that you get the joke in such a loud and drawn out manner that all around you can't hear the next line.
8. No one will be allowed to enter the theater after the previews begin. If the movie says it starts at 8:15 PM then you lose if you arrive any later. NO EXCEPTIONS. If I get to the movie early and get my favorite seat I do not want to have to stand up and allow you to get by while I miss the previews to Spiderman.
9. If you are a large person get to the theater at least 20 minutes ahead of time and sit anywhere you like and anyone not wishing to sit next to you will respect your seat choice and sit elsewhere. When you are a large person and you show up 30 seconds before the movie starts and sit next to me in a crowded theater I no longer have any choice of where I sit. Thanks for ruining my movie going experience.
10. If you feel compelled to talk back to the screen then you need to commit yourself.

Thoughts on Voting and Politics

I have decided that I will not vote in another election until I see a candidate or candidates who wants to change the system. I feel that it is a waste of my time to vote for candidates that do not have a platform based on revolutionary change in America. Republicans and Democrats do not want to change the system because they would lose power and influence.

For reasons I will not state here, everyone I know expects me to vote for Obama. I cannot stand Obama. He's just another slick politician shoveling the same old shit to us. He tries to come off as a progressive individual yet he's kissing the ass of the Israeli lobby and talking about the need to take a hardline with Iran. Obama is another Bill Clinton wrapped in brown skin. He'll talk a good game but if you examine his speeches, he doesn't say anything meaningful at all. If Obama really wanted to make waves, he would come out talking like Malcolm X in this speech(Click here to listen to the speech).

The Real Matrix

I believe that we live in a real matrix. This matrix is not controlled by artificial intelligence and machines. It is controlled by the wealthy elite, shadow manipulators, and government officials of the most powerful nations of the world. In the movie, machines controlled by artificial intelligence built a dreamworld for humans to keep them from waking up and discovering the truth. In our world, the media and our political leaders keep many people from waking up and discovering the truth. Here's a quote from the Matrix movie:

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

In our system, there are people like Cindy Sheehan who want simple answers to the Iraqi question. What happens when people like Cindy take their questions to those in charge? They get attacked by those people on the political right who are still a part of the system. The same thing happened in the late 1990s when Bill Clinton had his little war in Kosovo. There were people out there who wanted to know why we were involved in Kosovo or why we bombed Sudan. What happened to these people? They were attacked by those people on the political left who are still a part of the system.

Just like in the movie, most of the people of America are so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will smear anyone who attacks it and fight to protect it. While political leaders like Bush, Reagan, Nixon and Clinton have behaved like they are above the law, regular people continue to abide by laws that our political leaders bend and break. Everything keeps going in cycles and the people act like they don't notice the continual cycles. Here's an example of a cycle I've noticed:

A Republican screws up and the Democrats proclaim that they are the only hope for progress in America. The people believe this and elect a Democrat. The Democrat abandons his campaign promises, ignores his grassroots support, wages overt & covert wars and does things that benefit the upper class. The Republicans rail against this and proclaim that they are the only hope for progress in America. The people believe this and elect a Republican. The Republican abandons his campaign promises, ignores the middle class, wages overt & covert wars and does things that benefit the upper class. Repeat Cycle

This has been going on in presidential politics for at least the past 30 years but the people stay docile, support the system, and keep participating in the cycle. The people of America are over taxed, manipulated, used, and abused by the system but they keep on believing in and supporting the system. I don't have all of the answers but I do know this. The people have to be willing to question everything. The people have to take control of their lives and change things. We have to stop thinking that we need things we could live without. Most people do not read the constitution or the Declaration of Independence. Here's a part of the DOI that we should take seriously:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

I believe that if Jefferson or any of the signers of the constitution were living today, George W. Bush would call them terrorist supporters. I'll stop here and save something for a future post. I leave you with this quote from John F. Kennedy

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Suse Linux 10.1

I started using Suse Linux about 18 months ago. I had a problem getting Suse 9.0 to access wireless access points so I decided to upgrade to Suse 10.1 a few days ago and I love it. My wireless card was not found after I installed Suse 10.1 but I installed ndiswrapper and everything is working fine now. I like the look & feel of the KDE desktop and Yast makes everything so simple to deal with. Hopefully Suse will replace Microsoft and their horrible Vista crap soon because people really need to see that there are other operating systems out there that are better than Windows.

Bruce Lee On Youtube

I am a huge martial arts movies fan. My father was trained in the martial arts and he loved Bruce Lee movies so I was introduced to Bruce Lee at a young age. Bruce Lee is the pioneer of martial arts in Hollywood movies. I was surprised to see that some of his movie clips are still on Youtube. Sooner or later, they will probably get taken down because someone will file a copyright violation. I love the Chinese Spare Ribs clip(the 1st video clip below) because the voice of the black guy makes me laugh. Enjoy the clips.

DailyKos Loves Open Borders

That's the way Kos makes it seem in this diary he wrote.

If you have the time, I think you should click on the link above and view some of the comments in this Dailykos diary.

Feingold, Obama, and Senate Republicans

Here's a pretty good diary from Daily Kos. I don't agree with everything that's posted on the Kos blog but I do agree with Kos on the need to pull out of Iraq. We went to Iraq based on lies and since there are no weapons of mass destruction, we should pull our troops out immediately.

There is no war on terrorism

I've been saying this since 2002 when the neo-con propaganda masters tried to link Iraq to Al-Qaida. If Bush was really serious about the war on terrorism, he would've sent troops into Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Egypt.

No Quarter: Enough of the terrorism canard

Israel Plans Nuclear Strike On Iran

Now the propaganda masters in the corporate media will try to make you think that Israel is justified in striking Iran but do not believe their lies. A preemptive nuclear strike by Israel would lead to a new world war with Israel/Britain/USA on one side and everyone else on the other side.

Happy New Year!!

My New Years wish is that the newly elected Democratic Congress does their job and stops listening to their corporate masters.
