@Maxrot, if both parties do not adopt the ideas of the Jesus Party, then we need a people party to fill the void that the crazies in both parties are clinging to for the election.
9-7-10 Thom, I agree with most everything you say on your TV program. It is good to know there is one other person that knows the truth. I wonder however, why no one ever seems to talk about Hydrogen power ? Why are there no hydrogen powered vehicles available in the U.S. ? The advantages would be that they would create more jobs than there are people to fill them, eliminate air polution, and completely revive our economy. There would be jobs converting gas stations to hydrogen fueling stations, jobs building automobile manufacturing plants, plants to manufacture hydrogen, jobs to staff the automobile manufacturing plants, & jobs for repair technicians. There would be jobs for a host of related services. There would be no need to import oil. It would eliminate oil poluting our oceans and killing marine life, not to mention birds. It would stop devastating people who live in the coastal areas who depend on the ocean for their livelihood, and make the environmentalists happy. There are at least 4 developed countries, poorer than the U.S. that already have hydrogen roads (examples: Norway, India, Canada, China). For more information see HYDROGEN ROAD on the internet, specifically HYNOR (hydrogen Norway). If the poorer countries can afford it, then why cant the richest country (the U.S.) ? Sincerely, Dave

It should be noted, that the oil industry is heavily invested in green energy. BP is a big player in solar.
If we had infrastructure thru non-union companies, it might work. On the other hand, union companies use capital to minimize labor expense, they us machines to replace labor, thus great GDP but few jobs. You have to do it the FDR way; shovels and wheel barrows.
beck condemns social justice n progressivism, so i guess he favors social injustice n regressivism. (2 go backward, put da car in R?)
but i'm surprised he wants 2 restore honor. does he mean honor we lost when we started those unnecessary wars? if so, i agree. if not, what?
neway, i'm no believer, but maybe jung almost had it right w/ "collective unconscious", but in my opinion it's same as mcluhan's "information environment". if so, it may xplain how prophecies come true, such as this antichrist thing: applying gematria [hebrew numerology] 2 our alphabet gets FOX = 666.
I live in Birch Bay, WA and UnitedHealthcare is my insurance. Last year, I needed a treatment, but there was no UHC network provider in the area. I contacted a local provider, who then negotiated an agreement directly with UHC detailing the billing code, duration and cost to treat me. Upon completion of the treatment, the provider billed UHC as per their agreement. After 2 months the provider called me for payment (he did not want to deal with UHC, being aware of their reputation in the Bellingham area). I looked online and saw the status was 'pending' then called. They said that the note in the file said they were waiting for a copy of the providers medical license, since he was out of network (though approved signatory to their single patient agreement--but hey OK). Provider said he had received a letter and faxed UHC a copy of his license over a month ago. Here is a brief synopsis of the bizarre communications between me and UHC over the 5 months to reach payment.
I know enterprise software very well, including call center tracking. I worked for a company that is now one of Oracle's ERP offerings. FYI, there is always a 10-14 day wait between all communications for any UHC action to take place and be 'processed'.
-- UHC said license had not been received, so refaxed and waited for scanning dept. to attach it to my claim.
-- UHC customer service rep said he still doesn't see it (scanned and attached to my file), so faxed again waited.
-- rep says still not received, but oh wait!!, there it is. So finally it is 'in process' (that will be a 10 -14 day wait for processig)
--still no payment, rep doesn't know why, but will send a 'priority email' to claims, since he can't actually speak to that group and wait
--still no payment, rep guesses the billing code looks incorrect, faxed claim with code change (but originally correct per agreement) and wait
--still no payment, rep will send another 'priority' email to claims (and wait another 10-14 days)
--still no payment, rep says note says claims waiting for coy of license (huh??) re-faxed months ago and had actually been seen by a different rep ( I supplied call number for his reference, but he should have all my communications on this claim on the screen) Oh yeah! there's the little rascal. Rep will send another 'priority email' to claims letting them know its here. (Duh, these are electronic files, and claims can't see what he sees?)
--still no payment, I told rep to pull up by claim number, and he couldn't see the scanned license. I said pull up by my member ID number. Sure enough, there was my single claim and the scan of the license. Hmmm. Bump to supervisor.
--still no payment, sections of the above do loop repeated several times. I finally called the the agreement approval group and had to pretend I needed a new approval to even be connected. I explained that the claim was exactly as per agreement, but the scan of the license was attached to my file at the account level and not to the claim number -- and the magic software keystrokes making that electronic connection was beyond the expertise of customer service, customer service management and claims.
You know how complicated and sophisticated those computers systems are, which I guess makes those expensive CEOs worth every penny for their enormous contribution to efficiency and employee training.
I would hope that by 2012 our country will have a viable third party called the Jesus Party. Here are some thoughts on the Jesus Party.
The Jesus Party
Jesus was truly an amazing person. When Jesus walked among us, He was an inclusive person who excluded no one. He loved the harlots, the lepers, the maimed, the sinners, the outcasts, the forgotten, the blind, the deaf, and all the people. Jesus is a beautiful and wonderful role model for us to follow.
What Jesus desires for America and the world are peace and justice on our planet for all of His children. He also has a vision for the world.
Jesus’ vision for the world is social wholeness, a state of well being for all, where everyone has access to the goods of creation intended to meet the needs of all. Jesus offers us the substance of the biblical vision of one community embracing all creation where all enjoy the resources that make communal harmony joyous and effective.
Jesus’ intended vision of the world, a dream for Him that resists our tendencies for division, hostility, fear, lust, and misery. If there is to be well-being, it will not be just for the isolated and insulated individuals, it is security and prosperity granted to the whole community: the poor, the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, the tax collector and the sinner, the despised and the rejected, young and old, the powerful and the dependent. We are in it together. Together we stand before His blessings and together we receive the gift of life.
When it comes to vote in 2012, I cannot vote for a Republican to be president because I have contempt for Republicans. I cannot for a Democrat because Democrats disgust me. I am left with an Independent, a Green, or a Socialist candidate. I do not know where the Tea Bagger Party stands and the same goes for the Coffee Party candidate.
I would hope that a viable party in 2012 would be The Jesus Party. Jesus is the party’s founder. The central theme of The Jesus Party was given to us at the Last Supper. It is the Eleventh Commandment. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
The life of Jesus would be the party’s role model. We need only to read the New Testament in the Bible for our guide to a better world.
So when oil runs out what's next, water? Capitalism will fail when we run short of the commodities that fuel it, and socialism will have to prevail. It's just a matter of time, and progressive liberals should lead the way for an orderly transition to it. China now is facing the hazards of pollution and shortage of food with capitalism the driving force. The neocon, libertarians, will fight back but we must prevail before they can start a war over oil, using religious differences.
Sinclair Lewis: When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.
Thom has asked to give the definition of conservative or who is a conservative. I will try to answer that question.
Definition of a Conservative
The word conservative means to preserve that which is essential, to hold on to those values which are timeless and of value.
A conservative is one who works for the integrity of the environment. A conservative in the Catholic Church would be one who goes back to the biblical values of Jesus and conserve the essence of what he taught and lived.
Take the beatitudes, the call to love one's enemies. How do we preserve and protect these ideals?
Yet, we need to ask the question, “Why did someone put the CON in CONservative?”
CAN ONE BE A CHRISTIAN AND A CONSERVATIVE AT THE SAME TIME? Two Thousand years ago in the midst of the Conservative, Militantly, Bellicose, Roman Empire and the parallel Rule of the Ultraconservative Conservative Herodian Kings and Priests, where the death penalty was a broadly used as it has been in Texas and Florida since the Bush advent therein, there came a man who opposed all of that for which they stood. He opposed the death penalty and much forgiving of sexual sins. (The woman caught in adultery John 8:1-11) He despised greed/avarice which the Bushites Gekko say is Good!. Luke 16:19-31 The avaricious rich man He opposed violence of any sort; he was by his own admission, "meek and mild." He advocated tolerance and acceptance of others. He offered free health care to any who approached him. He also refused to condemn or judge others except for the rich who were avaricious and the hypocrites. He opposed judging others, a prime factor in the Bush administration IS judging others Luke 7: 37-42- judging others He was dismissive of sexuality as a major judgmental concern. Luke 4:4-42 Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well Jesus was, by the definitions, condemnation and attacks on Liberals by the Bushites and the "Christian" Right, a "bleeding Heart Liberal." They are indeed correct, because in his opposition to everything for which The Conservative Roman Empire and the Ultraconservative Conservative Herodian Kings and Priests, stood Jesus was and remains a Liberal. There is no way the Church can, without being hypocritical wriggle its way around the reality that one cannot be a Christian and a Conservative, any more than one can be a Christian and support the slaughter in Iraq (A nation 12 times smaller than the USA, and lacking air force and navy at the time of the invasion), and the planned slaughters in Iran, and Venezuela. Therefore, begs the question, CAN A PERSON BE BOTH A CHRISTIAN AND A CONSERVATIVE?
The purpose of college is to help you think and to be exposed to a wide range of ideas. Conservatives want dummies leaving our high schools and colleges. They want programmed idiots roaming our country and the world. What truly amazes me are my relatives from marriage who are conservatives and they fail to know the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Conservatives do not want to be challenged by educated persons. They believe in keeping people stupid so they can control you and enslave you to remain their drones and cannon fodder.
Conservative Brains! Most people know that the conservatives have their brains in their colons and every 24 hours or so they reveal to the world that they really have shit for brains.
I know you don't support his actions. He may have a right to say and do what he likes in the name of free speech, but I think it crosses the line when it is deliberately done to invoke a response from enemies of this country. It's very different from people's outrage at a Muslim building a few blocks from Ground Zero (with no outrage over strip clubs and tattoo parlors on the same block). That outrage also makes news worldwide and also emboldens the extremists who are dangerous. So I don't have a problem saying that the Quran (however you spell it) shouldn't be burned and anti-Muslim sentiments and rallies should not be held. I'm not going to stop them, but they shouldn't be publicized, and then they get their "free speech" rights and we get to have less hatred for us worldwide.
Jeanie, there is no might about his right. But you should re-read my initial comment on this, if you think I support his actions.
I think there is obvious hypocrisy here, the same people that want the Muslim Community Center to be built are the same that are decrying this Terry Jones.
The quote goes something like this "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to my death the right of you to say it." Many people on the left can talk the talk, but they can't seem to walk the walk.
Thom had some callers who were critical of his onterview with Terry Jones. My criticism of Thom is that he has too many conservative crazies on his show who have filibustered him. He finally called someone on their nonsense.
Maxrot, he might have a right to do it, but he's still wrong. Like Rev. Phelps is wrong. He's also trying to blackmail the people building the Muslim center in NY. And we're not saying the government should step in and make him stop. Just pointing out Muslim-baiting.
OK Jeanie, he's nuts, let us again ignore our Bill of Rights.
Hate may be deplorable, but it is not illegal. To give up our rights over the way people feel is cowardly. I could care less if someone wants to burn books. In the long run all they do is keep themselves ignorant, and ignorance is weakness.

Isn't it about time we hear from Ravi Bathra folks ?
But you are not going to cuz there is an election coming
and the Prez & Dem corporatists have to be presented in a "good-light".
If Thom had any courage he would bring Bathra on before the election.
So Jeanie, you don't have problems with freedom of speech, just freedom of the press?

What truly amazes me are my relatives from marriage who are conservatives and they fail to know the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Conservatives do not want to be challenged by educated persons. They believe in keeping people stupid so they can control you and enslave you to remain their drones and cannon fodder.
Conservative Brains! Most people know that the conservatives have their brains in their colons and every 24 hours or so they reveal to the world that they really have shit for brains.
I know you don't support his actions. He may have a right to say and do what he likes in the name of free speech, but I think it crosses the line when it is deliberately done to invoke a response from enemies of this country. It's very different from people's outrage at a Muslim building a few blocks from Ground Zero (with no outrage over strip clubs and tattoo parlors on the same block). That outrage also makes news worldwide and also emboldens the extremists who are dangerous. So I don't have a problem saying that the Quran (however you spell it) shouldn't be burned and anti-Muslim sentiments and rallies should not be held. I'm not going to stop them, but they shouldn't be publicized, and then they get their "free speech" rights and we get to have less hatred for us worldwide.
Jeanie, there is no might about his right. But you should re-read my initial comment on this, if you think I support his actions.
I think there is obvious hypocrisy here, the same people that want the Muslim Community Center to be built are the same that are decrying this Terry Jones.
The quote goes something like this "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to my death the right of you to say it." Many people on the left can talk the talk, but they can't seem to walk the walk.

Thom had some callers who were critical of his onterview with Terry Jones. My criticism of Thom is that he has too many conservative crazies on his show who have filibustered him. He finally called someone on their nonsense.
Maxrot, he might have a right to do it, but he's still wrong. Like Rev. Phelps is wrong. He's also trying to blackmail the people building the Muslim center in NY. And we're not saying the government should step in and make him stop. Just pointing out Muslim-baiting.
Rutherford B. Hayes destroyed the Republican Party. It's been a tool ever since.
Accelerate the Contradictions!: I could support this platform... Yes, its the demands put forward by the German Social Democrats in their 1891 Erfurt Program. Ah, smell the progress!
OK Jeanie, he's nuts, let us again ignore our Bill of Rights.
Hate may be deplorable, but it is not illegal. To give up our rights over the way people feel is cowardly. I could care less if someone wants to burn books. In the long run all they do is keep themselves ignorant, and ignorance is weakness.
