California Strikes Down Death Penalty

http://crooksandliars.com/2014/07/californias-death-penalty-struck-down

Thank you California!  As a resident of the state, I am quite proud today to know that our judges are not giving in to  vigilantes who believe it doesn't do harm to society to execute criminals.  I firmly believe that this only creates a blood thirsty society that will seek to enforce vengeance, instead of trying to live peacefully side by side.

Stop letting the elite few dictate that we are supposed to spend our lives hating instead of loving one another.

The real shame with the death penalty is that it delivers lopsided justice that fails to treat everybody equally like it is supposed to.  That's why nobody rich is put to death, and they probably deserve it more than the ones we do put to death, because their crimes usually have many victims, not just one or two.

One more thing I will point out...to prove the need for vengeance...when they execute criminals...why do they have the families of the deceased at the execution?  It should be enough to know they are dead, you should not have needed to see the guilty suffer.  Only the family members that are relatives of the guilty should of been present, and the last face the guilty saw before they were killed.

It is a relief to know California will no longer be carrying out the agenda of spreading hate, for it is like a vampire, that sleeps in the darkness, digging deep below the surface and burying itself in the psyche of human nature, until society develops a taste for blood, and attacks all their closest neighbors, which retaliate and attack because they are now a blood thirsty society. 

The World in Black and White: What do Republicans talk about in secret meetings....destroying unions

What do Republicans talk about in secret meetings....destroying unions

On an episode of The Big Picture, "If it's Sunday, it's meet the Republicans", Tom Hartman interviews David Laskin, director of communications for the New York Republican party, and points out that President Ronald Reagan became the first of a series of presidents that decided to stop enforcing the immigration laws on the books and stopped sending white business owners to jail for employing illegal immigrants.

He makes his point even more valid by pointing out that before that happened the meat industry and carpenters unions used to pay their employees $30-$50 an hour until the businesses figured out they could hire illegals without consequence.

This is the real topics discussed in secret meetings like "The Caucus Room", the republicans have decided to take down all unions in this country and they know the way to do that is to have John Boehner hold off on passing any immigration bills, as the republicans really want illegals to keep coming in and destroying the democrats last real avenue of funding that does not extend to their party.  The unions destruction has been the real effort from the very beginning of Obama's presidency and you have to admit the house republicans may not be getting anything else done, but they are doing a very good job of destroying the unions in this country just the same.

Edward Snowden, Another Hero Whistleblower!

A new hero, Edward Snowden, has come forward knowing it would cost him his career, his friends and family, and even his country, but he decided to become a whistleblower on the NSA and the spying tactics they were abusing against our entire nation.

It's not just what they were doing, it's who they were (and still are) doing it to. And it's not just the access they were awarding themselves with being  wrong, it's about it being unconstitutional.  Not to mention unreasonable, especially with what they claim the reasons are for doing it.  Fighting terror.  Just how much terror would it stop by being able to read emails in the past, because we had communications ahead of 9/11 and that didn't seem to stop them, so my belief is none. 

His revelation that "The NSA has been gathering all internet data on everyone" should send shivers up and down your spine, but I realize we are full of spineless Americans, and representatives. 

People and representatives alike are saying shit like, "I don't mind NSA tapping my phones and reading my emails if it catches some terrorists, I am not doing anything wrong."  Then You Participate!  First of all, they are not tapping your phone calls, they are recording and storing everything , and using it as a database later to find whatever and whomever they want.  I'm not that naive to think that being innocent matters if you give a government (obviously a corrupted one) access to your life, they will almost definitely take it from you in one way or another.  We are all assets or were not.   

Let me just end with this...What happens when the government arrests you one day for a phone conversation you had 15 years ago with a guy who was associated with terrorism.  Don't think it will happen.  If they do not plan to use it for past crimes, what the fuck is the point?

America Be Brave: Vote Ron Paul 2012

Ron Paul is more than a candidate.  He is a messenger of freedom, individual liberty and peace.  He is a brave man who is standing up to the establishment and has been fighting the status quo for 30 years in congress. 

His record as a conservative, non-interventionist and strict constitutionalist is flawless and he is often the lone voice voting against all bills that violate the constitution and strip civil rights from the American people.  He is known as Dr. No in congress.  Never voting to raise taxes, fight undeclared wars or raise Americas debt ceilings.

I can remember a similar story about a simple man who taught the people to help the poor, live in peace, and love each other, but when the powers that be saw too many people were following the man, and with no crime to charge him with, they skipped the process, and crucified him anyway.  Citizens were given a chance to stop it, but they didn't care enough or love him enough to put an end to the tragedy and stood silent as he died for our sins.

Now, Ron Paul is not Jesus, but he believes in his teachings and loves us enough to fight the establishment even though he is getting crucified by the media overlords.

Now, are we really going to remain silent again?  Ron Paul has proven he is the incorruptible candidate we have all been hoping for.  He is the only one that lobbyists do not even try to buy because of his honest and unwavering beliefs that cannot be bought for any price.

Are we really going to choose Barabbas again? 

Rachel Maddow Has Lost My Support

Rachel,

Wow, you have changed since you left Air America Radio for the MSNBC spotlight.  I wish I could say the change helped to mold you into a more informative presenter of news and politics, or a commentator that used the platform she became blessed with to assure the audience would also become more informed with progressive political discourse and activism, but I can't.

When I watch now, I see little difference between you and other MSNBC pendants. You no longer bring up con traversal topics or report on stories that differ from the others and definitely have more value than the ones you are all reporting.

Where are the stories about soldiers that are being tortured by their own platoons and military leaders?  Where is the Ron Paul coverage?  Where is the push back against terrible policies President Obama is passing in secret like the Defense Act on New Years Eve that takes more of our civil liberties away?

It is not worth watching your show when you refuse to do any real intelligent journalism.  You do stories with surface coverage and gloss over the ones that deserve some attention. I have little interest in shows that will waste my time for an hour.

I want real news, real stories.  I want the truth and I'm tired of hearing your opinions on two candidates when there is four of them left. I truly hope you stop trying to predict the elections in the future and learn that your opinion does not matter, the peoples do.  If you refuse to acknowledge that Ron Paul has supporters that get angry when you ignore him or distort the truth about the elections, I will refuse to watch your show.

You don't report on the TSA violating our children at airports, or how they continue to put their hands down our pants and take off our babies diapers looking for bombs.  Really?  How can you not point out that these people might not be the best ones to find real threats to our country if they think our babies have diaper bombs.  How they strip search 80-year old women and lie about it only to apologize later.  You let the Obama administration lie and say that Rand Paul was not detained by TSA when he definitely was detained and missed his flight.  You don't report on the thousands of Ron Paul supporters welcoming him to Florida even though he didn't even campaign there and then act like there are only two choices left. Two horrible non-conservative, flip-flopping liars are pushed as the only reasonable choices. Really Rachel?  Ron Paul is the one with crazy views, but Newt can talk about a moon state and you still act like he's relevant.

Dr. Paul says he wants to give us our civil liberties back and stop sending us off to undeclared wars, but he's irrelevant?  I tell you one thing, at least he will not pass some horrible unconstitutional act in secret that violates the law and takes away our rights.  How can you not support a man of principal, of conscience and a man with a 20-year conservative record of abiding by the law and the constitution of the United States.  That is something that should be praised, not balked at.  I sincerely hope you realize how many people you have disappointed when your platform fell from grace..
