This Existence Is A DREAM: Awakening To Your True Self & Exploring Nonduality...
When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace o Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the chickens come home to roast... Unbelievable we have been this stupid. ( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Stand Up For America...
When and How Will it End?
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required, you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...
Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...

No doubt about that!

Thanks Jersey.
ReplyDeleteThere is an online edition of our local newspaper where the following exchange took place (I thought you might find this interesting):
ReplyDeleteANTHONY IOVINE - Today at 12:40 PM
"Your last sentence is absolutely ludicrous. What you said was that "EVERYONE" who supports a lunatic as Trump has no moral backbone. Isn't that the same as saying that everyone who supports that "PATHOLOGICAL LIAR" Hillary has no moral backbone also."
(O)CT(O)PUS - Today at 1:23 PM
" Mr. Iovine,
An interesting point you raise. So I surfed the Internet to check the facts - the percentage of true versus false statements made by Trump and Clinton respectively - and this is what I found (as reported by PolitiFact.com):
True statements — Clinton 16, Trump 4
Mostly true statements — Clinton 48, Trump 10
False statements — Clinton 15, Trump 65
Pants on fire statements - Clinton 1, Trump 30
Here are the overall rating as provided by PolitiFact.com:
Donald Trump — False 60.13 of the time, True 2.53% of the time
Hillary Clinton — False 13.33 of the time, True 13.33 of the time
So it appears Donald Trump is the “pathological liar” as well as the lunatic. Thus, on both measures, Donald Trump has no moral backbone."
(Whether this lets air out of the buffoon's balloon is another)
In my opinion (O)CT(O)PUS it will have zero effect on the Trumpian buffoon or anyone else that prefers truthiness to actual acts. unfortunately...
ReplyDeleteThe above should read..
ReplyDeleteTo actual facts .
That aside, I just finished watching a Hannity segment on Faux News with Gingrich, Trump, Walker, Giuliani, and the favorite Milwaukee sheriff. The untruths and hypocrisy was glaring. But the audience ate it up. Therr remains little credibility left in the GOP.
Unfortunately the democratic party and HRC have a credibility problem as well. However, it hasn't reached the magnitude of the GOP and the rightwing yet.
2016 will be a year to remember. If Trump wins and his "vision" becomes reality we will have lost our democratic republic. Likely for good.
Back this Friday or Saturday.
