The United States of Mortal Sin is a sinful nation. Americans will face the wrath of God!

Here is the last paragraph from the above article.

And really, it should have been obvious from the start. Why would Bahrain, an island nation, need scores of heavily armored tanks, if not to turn them on the public? Is not the privilege of being an island nation that you don’t have to worry about heavy armor? Who exactly did American arms dealers believe these tanks would target, and if they knew all along they would be used to crush dissent, how can Congress not be planning massive investigations?

I believe that the American lust for killing God's children will never end. Our sinful nation is not spreading democracy. We are spreading dictatorial rule, mass murderers, and war criminals.

THEY R Watching U:

I wish that we had unions in Texas. RN's would not have been forced to work unpaid overtime. But I will take my $1600 a month pension after 29 years as an RN at the county hospital and retire overseas. Good Luck in your fight Wisconsin, if you loose your children will be the poorer.

My wife watches ABC news, 6:30 every night. So when I'm in the room I have to watch what she is watching, or else! But when it got to the part about what is happening in Madison Wisconsin I couldn't believe my ears!

I had thought, hey national news, now a lot of Americans will really know about what is happening in Wisconsin! And poof! Was I wrong!

They covered everything that was NOT true about why the 25000+ people were protesting at the Capitol and why the 14 Democratic Senators absconded to another state!

They made it look like it was all about GREED! Imagine, middle class folk protesting about GREED! Now I know that these news folk are NOT that IGNORANT, especially ABC ones! But here they were distorting the whole issue. I am completely convinced that they were told from the top (Corporate masters) WHAT to say and WHAT NOT TO COVER! Absolutely amazing! Now I know that, at times, these corporate news people physically and actually Lie! An American CORPORATE news station - ABC Nightly News!!

My wife was not happy at my outrage, and I was then unceremoniously consigned to my other TV upstairs!

I knew way back on 14 Feb what this was about - see my post below for that date – and I’m no News man, especially for prime time. The Republican Party (The New one not the old one) wants to destroy the UNIONS and all collective bargaining in this country They want to destroy the Middle Class - period. This is what this is all about. The Unions and Collective organizations are the only thing that now stands between the Plutocrats and the Middle Class. This is why the repugs want to destroy the Unions and collective bargaining: the one and only reason. Once gone, the American people will no longer have a collective force in this country, NONE! If the Repugs win in Wisconsin, this will follow in all other repug states, no question about it. And come election time, and I mean EVERY future Election in this country, the only force that will be prevalent will be the Plutocrats and all their Billions!

Why is it that 290 Million Americans do not see this coming? Why maybe half of hard working Americans side with the Repugs, the Tea Baggers, and the Plutocrats? Simple. They listen to news stations Like ABC who outright lie to them, their pastors in the pulpits, and numwits on AM Radio! That’s why. They are digging their own economic graves, no matter what issue they support.

And Ed Shulze on MSNBC nightly news (in my mind to date the ONLY Cable news station today that presently covers the news Nationally correctly, and like news is supposed to be broadcasted – unbiased and as true as possible) showed a clip from Rush Limbaugh stating that the protesters in Madison were “Whiners” and Freeloaders”! Imagine that, someone making 50 mIllion a year calling the middle class FREELOADERS and WHINERS! NOT AMERICAN! I’m sure that made all Firemen, Police, Teachers and all other hard working ‘Collective’ Public American workers who were there in Madison Wisconsin despondent, right? No, they just booed, as they have the collective right to do! And it made them the stronger for it.

Ed had a cogent response for this type of behavior for Rush the drugster: He stated, and I para-phrase, “Rush, on Monday, you can wrap YOUR fat ass in the American Flag”! And the crowd roared!

Tomorrow, Sat 19 Feb, the repugs are busing the Tea Baggers to Madison from out of state. They are, or plan to be, the modern version of UNION BUSTERS! That is why they are being bussed there. They are being USED by the Repugs to hopefully create chaos in Madison and other point’s North in Wisconsin. The Repugs are hoping this will happen and then Dictator gov walker will then have an excuse to call the National Guard and the Police to quell the riots. The Repugs actually hope this will happen, but I hope not. All the people In Wisconsin have to do is show up by the 1000s over the weekend, maybe even over a hundred 100,000 and completely drown out the modern UNION BUSTERS, bought and used and lied to by their plutocratic masters!

In fact this is pretty fascinating to watch in our Modern Age. Many Americans born, say after 1970, have never really seen a mass Union movement happen in America! This had pretty much done by the 1950s (with a lot of deaths and hardships). That is what created and made possible the Middle Class in this country. Well that is all going to be played out in Madison Wisconsin over this weekend. I hope it goes peaceful. I hope National news is there to cover it – in a true fashion this time. And I hope that organized Collective Labor wins! Middle America is counting on this!

The Internationale!

I think with the Labor movement growing these days it is time to reclaim this song for real liberatory workers' struggles!

Every working man and women today owes their equitable earnings and benefits (if they still have them) to the courageous Americans who gave of themselves fighting and even dying for living wages, benefits and safe working conditions through workers movements and valiant union organizing. Without collective (union) bargaining, we would still have poverty wages, deplorable workplaces and children working in sweat shops instead of going to school. Wake up America! Before Ronald Regan, we had 35% union membership, whose viability forced all employers, both union and non union, to pay fully 70% of American workers comparable living wages. Today we have only 7% private sector and another 6% public sector union representation. Those 13% union jobs are having less and less influence on other non-union jobs and living wages for all. Is it a wonder that for the last 30 years, we have been trading full time living wage jobs with good benefits for part time and temporary poverty wage jobs with no benefits that can't even support an individual, let alone a family? Is it a wonder that the middle class family income has been stagnant for the last 3 decades? I spent more than 40 years as a proud hard working member of a dozen different unions. I'm now retired but still proudly wear my blue uniform every day. It's my blue badge of courage. With my union wages, I was able to support and educate my family. Young folks coming out of college today with tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt have no hope of finding the living wage jobs needed to pay off that debt. They can't buy homes because they will have to spend the next 30 years attempting and probably failing to pay off their "student loan mortgage." They can't even afford to get married or have children. These so-called family value Republicans like the Wisconsin governor are destroying America's families. Those ignorant of the history of the "Robber Barons" and the unethical, tyranical corporations and employers who ran rough-shod over America's workplaces in the early 20th century are destined to repeat that history. Unless workers are allowed to stand together and organize collectively, employers will not bargain in good faith. Please read your childrens history books. You could start with the speeches, writings and beliefs of true American Republicans like President Eisenhower, who said: "Workers have a right to organize unions and to bargain collectively with their employers." "And a strong, free labor movement is an invigorating and necessary part or our industrial society." "Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of their right to join the union of their choice." "Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear from that political party again in our political history. There is a splinter group of course, that believes you can do these things, but their number is negligible and they are stupid." Well, these Neo-Republicans can vote to give enormous tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and corporations and at the same time take hard earned and fought for benefits away from hardworking middle-class men and women, but they are as Eisenhower said, STUPID! We can continue on this path of blaming and destroying America's proud labor movement but all we are doing is destroying America's middle-class, which at one time, was the envy of the entire world. These Neo-Republicans are affraid to sit down with these workers elected representatives and negotiate in good faith. They must allow these unions to be part of solving Wisconsin's debt problems.

It's time for American Labor to learn a new expression:

Walk like an Egyptian!

REPUBLICANS ARE SOCIAL DARWINISTS -- they believe the government should help the rich live long and prosper! THE government should let the rich exploit the working classes until they die from hard work and exhaustion!! AND should let the poor die off from starvation and disease because they will never amount to anything and are a drain on society!!!

""Social Darwinism is a belief, popular in the late Victorian era in England, America, and elsewhere, which states that the strongest or fittest should survive and flourish in society, while the weak and unfit should be allowed to die. The theory was chiefly expounded by Herbert Spencer (1820-1903), whose ethical philosophies always held an elitist view and later received a boost from the application of Darwinian ideas such as adaptation and natural selection.

According to Darwin's evolutionary theory, nature is a "kill-or-be-killed" system. Those that cannot keep up are either left behind or cut off. The strong survive, and those best suited to survival will out-live the weak.

The seeds of Social Darwinism were actually planted before the publication of Darwin's "The Origin of Species" (though of course the name didn't originate until after). Herbert Spencer, the father of Social Darwinism as an ethical theory, was thinking in terms of elitist, "might makes right" sorts of views long before Darwin published his theory. The concept of adaptation allowed Spencer to claim that the rich and powerful were better adapted to the social and economic climate of the time, and the concept of natural selection allowed him to argue that it was natural, normal, and proper for the strong to thrive at the expense of the weak. Whether it be humans, races, or the state, Spencer's thoughts were clear: "If they are sufficiently complete to live, they do live, and it is well they should live. If they are not sufficiently complete to live, they die, and it is best they die." In its simplest form, Social Darwinism follows the theory of "the strong survive," even in human issues. It is the application of the theory of natural selection to social, political, and economic issues. According to Social Darwinism, those with economic, physical, and technological strength flourish and those without are destined for extinction. This theory was used to promote the idea that the white European race was superior to others, and therefore, destined to rule over them.

Social Darwinism was used to justify numerous exploits which we classify as of dubious moral value today. Colonialism was seen as natural and inevitable; people saw natives as being weaker and more unfit to survive, and therefore felt justified in seizing land and resources. Finally, it gave the ethical nod to brutal colonial governments who used oppressive tactics against their subjects.

At the time that Spencer began to promote Social Darwinism, the technology, economy, and government of the "White European" was advanced in comparison to that of other cultures. Looking at this apparent advantage, as well as the economic and military structures, some argued that natural selection was playing out, and that the race more suited to survival was winning. Some even extended this philosophy into a micro-economic issue, claiming that social welfare programs that helped the poor and disadvantaged were contrary to nature itself. Those who reject any and all forms of charity or governmental welfare often use arguments rooted in Social Darwinism.

Social Darwinism has been used to justify eugenics programs aimed at weeding "undesirable" genes from the population; such programs were sometimes accompanied by sterilization laws directed against "unfit" individuals. The American eugenics movement was relatively popular between about 1910-1930, during which 24 states passed sterilization laws and Congress passed a law restricting immigration from certain areas deemed to be unfit. Social Darwinist ideas, though in different forms, were also applied by the Nazi party in Germany to justify their eugenics programs. With the development of the notion of eugenics — not only could you prevail over the unfit by making war on them, but you could improve the breed by applying "enlightened" notions of selection and genetics.

At its worst, the implications of Social Darwinism were used as scientific justification for the Holocaust. The Nazis claimed that the murder of Jews in World War II was an example of cleaning out inferior genetics. This view embraced the assumption that the strong were superior, and thus ordained to prevail. Social Darwinism applied to military action as well; the argument went that the strongest military would win, and would therefore be the most fit. Casualties on the losing side, of course, were written off as the natural result of their unfit status. Thus, if two countries were to make war on each other, the victor was biologically superior to the loser. It was therefore right and proper for that victor to subjugate or even eliminate the inferior opponent. Not only was survival of the fittest natural, but it was also morally correct. Indeed, some extreme Social Darwinists argued that it was morally incorrect to assist those weaker than oneself, since that would be promoting the survival and possible reproduction of someone who was fundamentally unfit.

A second way pseudo-evolutionary concepts were applied to human interaction was in the development of cut-throat capitalism in the United States. Here the ideology was that the cream naturally rose to the top; the successful made a lot of money simply because they were superior to the unsuccessful. Those who found themselves in poverty were poor because they were intrinsically inferior. It provided a justification for the more exploitative forms of capitalism in which workers were paid sometimes pennies a day for long hours of backbreaking labor. Social Darwinism also justified big business' refusal to acknowledge labor unions and similar organizations, and implied that the rich need not donate money to the poor or less fortunate, since such people were less fit anyway. This political philosophy resisted suggestions like universal education, welfare, minimum wage; in short, anything which interfered with the business of the "superior" ascending to the top of the heap and squashing the unfit beneath their expensive shoes.""
