Democrats and liberals need a vision.

WE need to establish our VISION. What do we want? In the last election, NEITHER party really put forth what they stood for, just bullshit talking points from the Repugs and Dems saying 'what they said about me isn't true'. Faced with the 24/7 fear/hate/lie machine, and regular media's complicity with giving air time to every foam at the mouth right wing clown, when Democratic candidates do not stand up for what we want, then they come across as wimps at best, pussies at worst, and open the gates for others to paint whatever image they want on those bland personas. I see too many Dems or liberals telling people 'google it'. when if you look at right wing campaigns, they're practically intravenously feeding their followers with their tripe.
When you build a house, you start with an INTENT, that leads to a VISION of what you want. Then you make plans, including what type of land, location, how the house is arranged, etc. Then you start to build. You don't just dump a pile of wood into an empty field and say 'here...google it'.

I think a lot of us liberals need to start using our energy to kick the asses of the Democratic organizations that keep sending daily 'the world is doomed unless you send $5 by midnight' letters. We need to DEMAND to know where the money goes AND demand information. WE can use the power of social media to kick the barbarian and corporate fascist Teathuglicans out of office, but we need INFORMATION, like:

  • -what is the voting record of our officials?
  • -WHO needs to be targeted to kick out and why?
  • -WHERE do we go, and what can we do to fight back against the massive ELECTION FRAUD that is being perpetrated by the Teathugs to disenfranchise many thousands of voters to help steal more elections?
  • - who are the lower level officials that keep in the shadows but are part of the effort of the REthugs to turn America into America Inc. LLC?
I have written to various organizations but have gotten NO reply! Just more guilt trips like 'Ron, why have you NOT contributed?" in my emails. This game of trying to see how much money you can raise is bullshit because it is playing THEIR game! If you're raising money to pay for a commercial, you are paying the same corporations who want Rethugs to win. Also the fossil fuel industry and car industry spend a lot of money on those 'aren't we great' ads, sucking up the air time so that if you DO manage to get an ad going, you're lucky if a meth head might see it at midnight for 30 seconds.

The dark side of the pack.

We are pack animals; tribal. We pick sides easily because it's in our genes- a survival trait from thousand of years of evolution. BUT it doesn't serve us when we are not in a do-or-die situation and we can't discern, or separate individuals from the pack. It's laziness. If you throw someone in a box, you already have the labels on the outside and don't have to think about it, but you also don't get to learn about the individual. I had someone jump at me once, saying 'what the fuck do you know about prejudice, whitey?" But he didn't get to hear about how I was in fights when I was little for having dark skin and got called 'n**r' plenty of times, including by my own father. I had a young kid tell me that Italians were 'mud people'.... The fright wing media makes a living at separating us into packs so that their corporate overlords can keep us weak and un-focused. That's how they get away with all the looting and pillaging they

Worth and worthless....

You ever think about how the GOP tells us that they want to give us 'opportunity', that we can all be rich too?...then tell us that when disaster happens, don't help each other...get your guns? We're sold the idea of money determining or being a measure of our worth, our value, then we see people like Beck, Lush Rimjob, Hannity, making MILLIONS peddling hate, delusion, sedition, and mental illness. One of the richest men in the world made his money off of hard working immigrants trying to send money home to help their families (Mexico). How is that any different than glorifying Bernie Madoff, or a druglord? I think some of the wealthiest people in the world ran toward the victims of the Boston explosions; volunteer for the Red Cross; help people get back on their feet after a hurricane...WITHOUT getting paid to do so. Example- people I knew in California who drove TO New York (9/11) and New Orleans to help after those disasters, on their own dime, while Haliburton an

Too many want to run to the economic past that doesn't exist

Some say that we must get tougher in the world market, because other countries subsidize their industries. They say that we need a level playing field, or that consumers need to 'buy American'. I think it's all a diversion. Why invoke the past when the 'playing field' is more like a constantly shifting ocean? We also subsidize our businesses.  We give them all sorts of tax breaks and allow them to shelter their incomes in foreign repositories. Why vilify your fellow citizens who had nothing to do with these upper level policies and idiocy? Examples; Steel We gave our steel industry away, and it had NOTHING to do with consumers. The dinosaur steel industry whined to their political hacks through their lobbyists to get subsidies and suppots to stay alive and squeeze out a few more dollars out of the old machinery, when in reality they should have died out. There were innovators who wanted to develop leaner, more modern steel factories but could not
