Thoughts of the Day...

 

Far too often the ego gets in the way,
sometimes with unanticipated consequences.


When self-interest gets the best of compassion and reason,
karma arrives to exact a sometime painful price.

Attachment most often leads to suffering,
understanding primordial awareness is the remedy.

Aversion to things known or unknown,
often limits growth and causes anger or anxiety.

In a world filled with confusion and delusion,
turning to the Dharma is the path to liberty and enlightenment.

Michael Moore... A Despicable Excuse Of A Man

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA I have chosen, up until now, not to waste my time on that piece of d*g cr*p that is Micheal Moore. To say the man is unworthy of being given even a grain of respect is a huge understatement. This overstuffed butterball of American hating bile would do us all a favor if he found somewhere else to spew his useless yet dangerous  garbage. So much for the rant, no on to the point. Moore has recently came out and once again shown his true colors. He is not only calling Pfc. Bradley Manning, the traitor that leaked sensitive military documents to WikiLeaks courageous and a patriot, as well as donating to his defense fund, he is calling on his Facebook page to "LEAK EVERYTHING YOU GOT." This piece of human excrement apparently  has no idea of the danger these leaks have put our American soldiers in and possibly Afghan families. This from The Hill:   Michael Moore called Pfc. Bradley Manning, suspected in the leak of tens of thousand
