I Am Ignorant...

 


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.

Milarepa

“Just as it is known that an image of one's face is seen depending on a mirror but does not really exist as a face, so the conception of "I" exist dependent on mind and body, but like the image of a face the "I" does not at all exist as its own reality.

       Laozi: 'When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be'   When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag. On January 20, 2025. Israel in the present time is a state engaging in state terrorism against the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Zionist genocide of Palestinians is ungodly, un-Christian, and in every way horrific  evil. For Evangelical Christians, Christian Nationalists and MAGA who apparently know nothing of Jesus of Nazareth's position on wealth : Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Tonight's VP Debate, Mike Pence With the Unenviable Position of Defending The Donald's Madness...

Image
Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Watching the VP debate tonight should be interesting. More so to see Trump's reaction to his running mate's performance than the actual debate itself. tRump has undoubtedly moved presidential politics to new lows and all indications are he intends to take them lower. Sadly the republican party will suffer s a whole, But they've done the damage to themselves as really have no one to blame but themselves. Tim Kaine isn’t Mike Pence’s only opponent Tuesday night in the only debate between the vice-presidential hopefuls — Pence also has to cope with the big shadow cast by his party’s standard-bearer, Donald Trump. That’s one reason Democratic members of The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of swing-state activists, strategists and operatives — are more optimistic about Kaine’s chances of delivering a winning performance than Republicans are about Pence’s. Virtually all Democratic insiders surveyed last week, 97 percent, expect Kain...

Radical Islam, a Growing Worldwide Threat or Simply More Hype? You Be the Judge...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Libe rty -vs- Tyra nny Following is the text of an email that recently found it's way to the inbox of Rational Nation USA . After reading this many times over several days I finally determined to publish it. While many will disagree with the points made by Dr. Tanya, many others will agree. Certainly at the very least they are worth considering. History often repeats itself becaue good people decide to do nothing in the face of a growing threat of evil. A German's View on Islam: This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, and easy to understand. The author of this is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and respected psychiatrist. A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II. His family owned a number of large industries, as well as estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer...

Rep. Louie and the Fear Propagators ...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny Louie Gohmert - One Scary Idiot As it goes Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is one slightly unbalanced and therefore rather disturbing individual. His "way out in left field" claim that President Obama's administration has Muslim Brotherhood members is, IMNHO opinion based on one of two things. The fact "good ole Louie" is incapable of accepting we have a mixed race President, or he is simply stirring the pot of fear. Much like Senator McCarthy did in a bygone era. In either case he is doing a great disservice to the American public. As a fiscally conservative social Libertarian I challenge the fear mongering right to provide some significant evidence in support of the delusions they would have us all accept as factual reality. TPM - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went after the Obama administration's handling of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation in a radio interview Thursday -- and alon...
