In 1973 I was the white guy who accompanied the all black singing group, The Main Ingredient, that included the very talented people Cuba Gooding Senior, Tony Sylvester, Luther Simmons, and during my time with those singers and musicians I was always blown away by the polish and precision of our performances. The love, enthusiasm and pride that I felt emanating from the audience made me feel like I was involved in something very special.
If politics are anything like music then there is the possibility of something very special occurring in an Obama presidency.
When Chris Matthews talks about how Americans feel about what really happened on 9/11 he won’t appear to be so misinformed by stating the ridiculous: that people believe that George Bush blew the buildings up with a plunger that was connected in the White House.
Hey, Chris Matthews I was really embarrassed for you when you said that. Watch the Loose Change video and report on what you see. Don’t load us up with all of your bullshit. Watch the video and report the news. Otherwise we’ll start to think you are turning into some kind of Joe Scarborough clone.
When a government imposes a compulsory financial contribution from its people and institutions, that is called a tax, but what taxes me more than the taxes I pay is how American tax money is spent.
List five things that American tax dollars should be spent on. My list goes like this:
1 Defense
2 Healthcare
3 Education
4 Infrastructure
5 National Service for all Americans
If our tax dollars do not make our lives more pleasant, then we should reduce the amount of things we buy and manipulate our work loads so that we pay less tax. If the government chooses to out source fundamental necessities (healthcare, military services, etc.) to private enterprise and do not adhere to my list of five, then I choose and would advise any American to resist the new Amerika by consuming less and thereby restricting the amount of American tax dollars generated.
No matter whom the new president is going to be, the corporations are still going to own and control everything and continue converting Americans into Amerikans by making them piss in jars on command in order to qualify for work. I have often wondered what it would be like to be so scared that
I would sacrifice my sacred freedom of choice and admit to it on command by performing the totally Amerikan act of pissing in a jar.
The government does not tolerate marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, or any other natural psychoactive plant. The reason for this is because when these herbs are consumed properly they make you think…of things outside of yourself…such as sharing.
If you resist the war on drugs and any other war that the government would force upon its people by an executive edict, then you are a freedom fighter and a true American revolutionary. I live my life in accordance with the rules of life that the fictional characters of my youth taught me, you know, Superman, Howdy Doody, the Shadow… They might not have agreed with my life style but they definitely would have defended my right to live my American life in accordance with the bill of rights which gives all American citizens the right of choice.
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. Superman, Howdy Doody and the Shadow would never have supported the new Amerika, and I’m sure that they would consider the new Amerikan government as the bad guys and would wonder where all the Americans went.
I was really shocked when America allowed its corporate professional athletes to compete in the Olympics ignoring a time honored tradition that honored the efforts of the American amateur athlete, as well as the Olympics itself. I always considered that America played the game in accordance with the rules and the ideals of its people, and with the chance that the under dog could win.
Corporations don’t take chances, they just take money. Amerika makes it easy for the corporations to change the conditions of play in their favor, against the American people.
When Ronald Regan and George Bush Sr.’s government deregulated the airline controllers, it wasn’t hard to predict the failures that federal deregulation of industry has given us today. When corporate professional athletes were allowed to compete against amateur athletes it was clear that America had finally turned the corner and was rapidly descending to the new Amerika of today, complete with its unfair playing field and its criminal disregard of the American constitution. What I didn’t expect was that an Amerikan war criminal president and his congressional accomplices would get away with invading a sovereign country under false pretences, as well as torture and eavesdropping on American citizens.
You can always tell when an Amerikan has been there. Just look for cigarette butts and beer cans, and all kinds of trash; when you find them that’s where an Amerikan has been.
