			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Dear Newsmax Reader,</p>
<p>President Obama is not busy enough running the country. Instead he&#8217;s <span style="color:#993300;">butting into</span> Wisconsin&#8217;s business.</p>
<p>Now, courageous Gov. Scott Walker has told Obama to simply <span style="color:#993300;">butt out</span>!</p>
<p>But Obama is not listening. As I write this, Obama&#8217;s pals in the big public employee unions are pouring in millions to <span style="color:#993300;">thwart </span>Gov. Walker and the duly elected legislature.</p>
<p>Already, Obama’s <span style="color:#993300;">bloated </span>public employee unions are about to launch a salvo of TV attack ads in Wisconsin aimed at Gov. Walker.</p>
<p>Politico reports: “Unions are going up in the air in the state with the first ad on the standoff, hammering Governor Scott Walker.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The ad was created by advisers to the national AFL-CIO, SEIU, and AFSCME, &#8230; and it was paid for by the Wisconsin AFL-CIO.&#8221;</p>
<p>The fact is, Team Obama are desperate to <span style="color:#993300;">break the back</span> of Governor Scott Walker’s <span style="color:#993300;">courageous </span>resolve.</p>
<p>This is why the League of American Voters is urgently launching a national effort to help Gov. Walker and to stop these <span style="color:#993300;">bloated </span>unions.</p>
<p>We are planning to run an emergency campaign of radio ads across the state, exposing the <span style="color:#993300;">unions’ real agenda</span>.</p>
<p>Our work is critically important because Obama has dispatched his <span style="color:#993300;">troops </span>to Wisconsin from the Democrat National Committee, Moveon.org, and even the Rev. Jessie Jackson to <span style="color:#993300;">fire-up the mob of demonstrators</span>.</p>
<p>They are pouring millions into Wisconsin.</p>
<p>This is just the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>Obama’s public employee unions are planning to roll-out a massive $30 million campaign nationwide to keep their <span style="color:#993300;">power </span>to hold taxpayers hostage, and to award themselves lavish pensions and benefits.</p>
<p>They claim Gov. Walker wants to abolish unions.</p>
<p>This is an out and out lie. What Gov. Walker is attempting to do is stop the use of third party arbitrators who give public unions big contracts with lavish benefits.</p>
<p>The liberals realize Wisconsin is key for rolling out their agenda nationwide.</p>
<p>Next in line are Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Maine, and Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>We’re already seeing orchestrated protests by public unions in Ohio and Indiana.</p>
<p>The League has prepared a powerful new radio ad to air throughout Wisconsin in support of Gov. Walker.</p>
<p>With your help we plan on exposing the Obama-<span style="color:#993300;">Labor machine</span> in ads across the nation.</p>
<p>Our ad encourages Gov. Walker to stay strong and exposes how public employee unions are gouging the taxpayers.</p>
<p>We urgently need you to help the League in the vital effort to support Gov. Walker and expose the unions — Go Here Now</p>
<p>Help Governor Walker to end Big Labor’s ability to hold taxpayers, school students, and emergency services hostage to the lavish demands of public unions.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;">As Wisconsin goes, so goes the nation.</span></p>
<p>Wisconsin Democrat State Senator Chris Larson, one of fourteen cowardly senators who’s fled the state to avoid a vote, said it best:</p>
<p>“If this passes here, it will pass in other states.”</p>
<p>Public unions know the stakes. So does Governor Walker.</p>
<p>Help the League support Governor Walker. Donate Now</p>
<p>Yours for freedom,</p>
<p>Bob Adams<br />
Executive Director</p>
<p>P.S. – As you know the League has been credited in <span style="color:#993300;">killing </span>Obama&#8217;s dreaded &#8220;public option&#8221; in his health care plan. We led the fight to renew the Bush Tax Cuts. We won that battle. Dick Morris says the League is &#8220;the most effective grassroots organization in America.&#8221; Help us support Gov. Walker and <span style="color:#993300;">expose the unions and Obama</span>. Support Governor Walker with a powerful radio ad campaign. Go Here Now</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philosophy is not a quest for knowledge. Philosophy is on a quest for its own relevance. &#8220;Philosophy is dead.&#8221;- Stephen Hawking.</p>
<p>Try as I might to explain the irrelevance of philosophy in today&#8217;s world, these people continue to waste their time studying it. Philosophy asks questions like &#8220;what is the purpose of the universe?&#8221; among countless others. Questions like this are meaningless and there is no grounds to answer the question sufficiently. Philosophy is not science, otherwise it would have outgrown itself, instead of being the anachronism that it is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although I disagree with this, it&#8217;s worth noting. From <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler's_stages_of_faith_development#Fowler.27s_stages" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:<br />
<blockquote>Faith is seen as a holistic orientation, and is concerned with the individual&#8217;s relatedness to the universal:
<ul>
<li>Stage 0 – &#8220;Primal or Undifferentiated&#8221; faith (birth to 2 years), is characterized by an early learning of the safety of their environment (i.e. warm, safe and secure vs. hurt, neglect and abuse). If consistent nurture is experienced, one will develop a sense of trust and safety about the universe and the divine. Conversely, negative experiences will cause one to develop distrust with the universe and the divine. Transition to the next stage begins with integration of thought and languages which facilitates the use of symbols in speech and play.</li>
<li>Stage 1 – &#8220;Intuitive-Projective&#8221; faith (ages of three to seven), is characterized by the psyche&#8217;s unprotected exposure to the Unconscious.</li>
<li>Stage 2 – &#8220;Mythic-Literal&#8221; faith (mostly in school children), stage two persons have a strong belief in the justice and reciprocity of the universe, and their deities are almost always anthropomorphic.</li>
<li>Stage 3 – &#8220;Synthetic-Conventional&#8221; faith (arising in adolescence) characterized by conformity</li>
<li>Stage 4 – &#8220;Individuative-Reflective&#8221; faith (usually mid-twenties to late thirties) a stage of angst and struggle. The individual takes personal responsibility for their beliefs and feelings.</li>
<li>Stage 5 – &#8220;Conjunctive&#8221; faith (mid-life crisis) acknowledges paradox and transcendence relating reality behind the symbols of inherited systems</li>
<li>Stage 6 – &#8220;Universalizing&#8221; faith, or what some might call &#8220;enlightenment&#8221;.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A YouTube user by the name of <a title="YanksAreFucktards" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/YanksAreFucktards" target="_blank">YanksAreFucktards</a> wrote the most beautiful summary about America:<br />
<blockquote>As you all know, Yanks have no sense of humour whatsoever and they come to YouTube day in day out to cry and strop like children, using a barrage of Hannah Montana levels of English.</p>
<p>In particular, check out their whining round-the-clock rants on the &#8216;Americans Are Not Stupid&#8217; video. Hilarious! Moreover, the Yanks only Brit-bash there because the geographically challenged fucktards think it&#8217;s is a British video! LMFAO! But do let me know if you see any of them making anti-Aussie comments. I won&#8217;t hold my breath though, lol.</p>
<p>Seriously, though, it would be refreshing to meet a Yank on here who doesn&#8217;t gain their &#8220;knowledge&#8221; of superior cultures such as the UK from watching Austin Powers and Simpsons DVDs but at least occasionally read a book or a newspaper (of course, they could always ask the immensely popular Sarah Palin for advice on which rag to read &#8211; she couldn&#8217;t even name one single Yank newspaper when asked in an interview!!!). And by the way &#8211; for the record, I hate the Queen (as do most Brits), prefer coffee to tea (again, as do the majority) and have perfect teeth.</p>
<p>Yankland is traditionally an evil and manipulative shithole, spreading hate and disaster around the globe and leading the World in obesity, racism, oppression, gun obsession, poor education and lousy healthcare. America &#8211; land of the free&#8230;as long as you&#8217;re a straight, white, male, rich, Bible-thumping Republican. Oh and it helps to be fat.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Americans are fat, loud, sweaty, arrogant, greedy, ignorant, fugly, shallow, vacuous, illiterate, dentally challenged, gun-toting, Saudi-sponsored, shit-stupid, in-bred, Bible-thumping, racist, homophobic, warmongering, Bush-electing, death-penalty-supporting, organised-crime-supporting, innocent-people-torturing, language-wrecking, environment-destroying, tipping-obsessed, shrink-visiting, UHC-preventing, KKK-supporting, wooden-house-dwelling, IRA-terrorist-sponsoring, weird-sport-loving, crap-movie-making, cheesy-song-producing, doughnut-munching, Bud-guzzling, morbidly obese, brace-wearing, conservative, redneck trailer-trash cunts. No offence.</p>
<p>Oh and may I take this opportunity to thank you Yanks (especially the ones who keep banging on about how you &#8220;saved Britain&#8217;s asses in WW2&#8243; &#8211; yawn) for spending 1933-1941 selling arms and artillery to the Nazis, joining WW2 two years late, sexually harassing all our women while our brave soldiers were away fighting and for committing the World&#8217;s two biggest ever terrorist atrocities in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We&#8217;re most grateful.</p>
<p>And thanks for your massacres of innocent people in Iran, Guatemala, Chile and El Salvador (in your quest to replace democratically elected heads of state with dictators), your brutality in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Korea, the genocide of the native Americans, the lynching of black people, the repugnant McCarthy Witch Hunts (&#8220;Land of the free&#8221; &#8211; yeah, right!), the 150000 innocent civilians killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the 120000 murdered in Iraq since the invasion (not to mention the tens of thousands blown up in air raid attacks between 1990 and 2003). Cheers.</p>
<p>Oh and by the way, anyone doubting the alleged stupidity of Americunts and shittiness of Yankland in general, consider the following sobering facts:</p>
<p>Firstly, they voted George W. Bush into power! TWICE, FOR FUCK&#8217;S SAKE!!!</p>
<p>Secondly, 93% OF THEM STILL BELIEVE IN GOD!!! LMFAO!!!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This came to me in the last class that I was in. I often meditate and daydream on the subject of religion, and have some really awesome thoughts come up every now and then. This was one of them. Welcome to my brain.</p>
<p>Those who are religious are mentally retarded, brain-damaged individuals. This so often is nourished in the homes, which occurs via authoritarianism. This child abuse never eases up, and the human&#8217;s mind is permanently poisoned from birth. This cycle continues once the child has his own children. Their own children may be raised in a slightly more liberal environment, but this does not mean we should applaud their efforts. You do not applaud &#8220;better&#8221; child abuse, you eradicate it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How long will it be until we all start &#8220;walking like Egyptians&#8221;? The  protests in Egypt come after 30 years of harsh dictatorship.  Coincidentally, this is roughly the same number of years corporatism has  taken place in America. As one who values freedom, and I believe you do  too, I look at the massive cry for divine help in such oppressive  states of madness and too feel the need to shed a tear. Not in sadness,  but in a sense of awe and hope that what happened to Egypt doesn&#8217;t  happen in America. Not that I think we don&#8217;t need a revolution. Oh, we  need a revolution. I have a hope that America isn&#8217;t slow to react to  tyranny. Those on the Right, as well as those on the Left shout daily  about accusations of tyranny from the other side. Yet, in America, we  truly do not know real tyranny. Rome didn&#8217;t burn in a day, and the same  is true of America. The UK is still here after centuries of monarchy.  The same will be true of America in 100, 200 years. Our ideals will  change, no doubt about it, but the country itself will still have a  place on children&#8217;s globes sold at Wal-Mart for a low, low price  manufactured in China.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been over a year since the infamous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission" target="_blank">Citizens United case</a> which opened the floodgates for the massive support of corporate agenda  setting Republican takeover of Congress. And while it didn&#8217;t work in  every state, it did enough to stall our government even further from  making the improvements necessary for reversing the damage set forth by  President Bush. Why is it that we got so much done in the lame-duck  session last December?</p>
<p>I had a discussion with a self-identified independent yesterday  where I compared al-Qa&#8217;ida&#8217;s motives with the motives of  ultra-conservatives. He of course didn&#8217;t like this and began a paranoid  rant of how Obama&#8217;s &#8220;socialist propaganda machine&#8221; may lead to him  taking ultimate control of our country. He also felt highly  uncomfortable about my comparisons. Fear has replaced truth as a source  of comfort in this country.</p>
<p>Why is the media in this country dead? The answer is corporatism.  When Al Jazeera, a foreign media head, has better coverage of the  outrage in Egypt than our own CNN, you know something is wrong. CNN  yesterday was to be applauded for its reporting and first-hand video of  the riots in Egypt, but this weekend, it appears to have run out of  steam and is conducting business as usual again. 90% of American media  is right-wing. Going all the way back to the Koch Brothers, we have the  source of the Tea Party&#8217;s agenda. The Tea Party is a patsy coalition of  under-educated individuals whom I truly do think is concerned by the  direction this country is going, but is too un-focused to know where the  truth lies. The majority of the American population watches either CNN  or Fox News or MSNBC. While it has been confirmed that watching Fox News  <a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/brunitedstatescanadara/671.php?nid=&amp;id=&amp;pnt=671&amp;lb=" target="_blank">makes you less informed</a> (PDFs of the report included in this e-mail), neither CNN nor MSNBC are  completely on top of their games. People don&#8217;t watch C-SPAN&#8211;which one  can get in a variety of ways, cable, satellite radio, by dialing a  number on your cell phone, as well as others&#8211;people don&#8217;t read the  paper or journals or magazines. In Sociology, we call this &#8220;indirect  spectatorism&#8221; (ironically but coincidentally, also a Scientology  phrase). As comedian Roger Price said, &#8220;someone else is even doing our  watching for us.&#8221; He was referring to sports, but the same is true for  politics. You see only what the commentator shows you. This indirect  spectatorism is the main cause of the division in our country. Despite  the classic communications formula for the sender-receiver relationship,  only one variable actually exists in this case: the receiver. There is  no debate between the commentator and the viewer of the program. The  average American doesn&#8217;t take the time to discern the truth of what he  is told.</p>
<p>The Republicans have set themselves up in the media as the party of  the Constitution. As long as cheese-fingered John Boehner continues to  cry and disregard anything he sees as &#8220;liberal&#8221; (that nasty, disgusting  neo-swear word), his supporters will follow the leader. But the  Republican Party is not a party of the Constitution. If we are to  discuss the idea in historical terms, the Federalists at the  Constitutional Convention were classical liberals. They were for small  yet centralized government. They were for abolishing any tyrannical  power held by the government. As any historian or political scientist  would tell you, modern-day conservatism is not compatible in any way  with classical liberalism.</p>
<p>So again, I ask you, how long will it take for Americans to start  &#8220;walking like Egyptians&#8221;? What are you doing to help the country? What  have you learned from the East?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who doesn&#8217;t want free TV? If you love, love, LOVE Christian television, there&#8217;s a satellite for you!&nbsp;<a href="http://www.spiritcast.us/complete_systems.htm" target="_blank">SpiritCast</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritcast" target="_blank">Wikipedia article</a>) is a satellite service that offers free Christian television service (just purchase the dish) without monthly fees, etc.</p>
<p>What brought this to my attention? I was browsing through my Roku channels yesterday, and I noticed that there is a feed in the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.libertynewsradio.com/" target="_blank">Liberty News Radio</a> (an appropriately titled Conservative channel) archives titled &#8220;<a href="http://libertynewsradio.com/shows/rca/" target="_blank">Operation Restore Christian America</a>&#8220;. There&#8217;s an official site called&nbsp;<a href="http://www.christianlibertypublishing.com/index.html" target="_blank">Christian Liberty Publishing</a>, but it&#8217;s not very well designed. (Mirror of the PDFs on that site here:&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B_UMnsku9cNSMDZlMTE4ZGItNjQ0Ny00OTFlLTg1MzUtZDNhZTIwZGRkNzI3&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B_U&#8230;ZGRkNzI3&amp;hl=en</a>.)</p>
<p>So, if you want free TV, this is a chance for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is an air of putrid puerility in Congress, the result of thirty years of&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy" target="_blank">corporatocracy</a>. Americans voted overwhelmingly in favor for Republicans this past October and opened the floodgates to&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-fascism_and_religion" target="_blank">neo-fascist</a> government takeover. Americans voted not because of any particular bill that was passed, but because of legitimate concern for Congress and the direction of America. Congress is under Republican power now, and that is not a good thing at all.<br />
The Republicans have set themselves up in the media as the party of the Constitution. If we are to discuss the idea in historical terms, the Federalists at the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapolis_Convention_(1786)" target="_blank">Constitutional Convention</a> were&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism" target="_blank">classical liberals</a>. They were for small, yet centralized government. They were for abolishing any tyrannical power held by the government. As any historian or political scientist would tell you, modern-day conservatism is not compatible in any way with classical liberalism. Those who voted for Republicans are majoritarily white and Christian fundamentalists. Despite textbook and Constitutional evidence for this country being secular in origin, conservatives are closed-mindedly convinced that this nation is God&#8217;s nation. &#8220;We the people&#8221;, not &#8220;thou Lord and savior&#8221; are the opening words. And we the people need to understand what&#8217;s going on in this country. Too much misinformation runs rampant for this democracy to hold together. In fact a democracy can&#8217;t take place with it&#8217;s citizens so misinformed.<br />
And what&#8217;s causing the misinformation is the media. Instead of the American population watching direct feeds of Washington, we are putting trust in political commentators. In Sociology, we call this &#8220;<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=aPbF1kuayJYC&amp;amp;lpg=PA92&amp;amp;ots=e9ZDY3J-yQ&amp;amp;dq=indirect%20spectatorism&amp;amp;pg=PA92#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=indirect%20spectatorism&amp;amp;f=false" target="_blank">indirect spectatorism</a>&#8220;. As&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Price_(comedy)" target="_blank">Roger Price</a> said, &#8220;someone else is even doing our watching for us.&#8221; He was referring to sports, but the same is true for politics. You see only what the commentator shows you. This indirect spectatorism is the main cause of the division in our country. Despite the classic communications formula for the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_theory" target="_blank">sender-receiver relationship</a>, only one variable actually exists in this case. The reciever. There is no longer debate between the commentator and the viewer of the program. The average American doesn&#8217;t take the time to discern the truth of what he is told.</p>

<blockquote>Unlike the 2,074-page tree-killer that was ObamaCare, the repeal text is a breezy 250 words.</p></blockquote>
<p>After we all laugh out loud at the absurdity of the title, we should take a minute and reflect on what really killed the jobs in this country. According to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tradereform.org/2010/08/morici-81010-trade-deficit-causes-jobless-recovery/" target="_blank">http://www.tradereform.org/2010/08/m&#8230;less-recovery/</a>, there have been 40,000 factories that have shut down over the last decade.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The modern rich, privileged party known as the Republican Party is the nation&#8217;s foremost obstructive and destructive force history has ever seen. Like a virus, they are systematically taking over and reducing our liberties and freedoms one by one. They have made a few things absolutely clear: they do not like reality. They hate it it and villainize it. They hate liberty. They hate freedom. They hate and hate.</p>
<p>They say they love the Constitution, but at the same time want to change it. They say they love liberty, but only so much as they can deny others the same. They say they love freedom. But really, they do not.</p>
<p>With outlets such as Fox News, they distort the truth. Take Glenn Beck for example. As one of many, poisoning the airwaves, he advocates and furthers their toxic agenda. Glenn Beck, that anti-progressive glutton for murder, has villainized history and heroes. He&#8217;s done it so much and for so long that he has passed from delusional to dangerous. With statements such as &#8220;I’m thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I’m wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the  eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out.” (<a title="http://mediamatters.org/research/200505180008" href="http://mediamatters.org/research/200505180008" target="_blank">http://mediamatters.org/research/200505180008</a>); “I want to kill [Rep.] Charlie Rangel with a shovel.” (<a title="http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002095" href="http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002095/" target="_blank">http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002095/</a>). Also, there&#8217;s him hating families of 9/11: <a title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU</a></p>
<p>It is a wonder how he has so many followers. But then again, we must remember that any false prophet who proclaims himself to be the next Martin Luther King will only gather other like-minded uneducated people.</p>
<p>How is it that we have gotten this far off track? The obstruct-and-blame-Democrats game has gone far enough. It is time to inject truth back into society. And what is the truth that conservatives are afraid of? The truth-truth? Let&#8217;s begin with two examples:</p>
<p>We are not, and never will be, a Christian nation. This myth needs to die. For the people who repeat it are the furthest from &#8220;Christian&#8221;, and only propagate it for authoritarian and dominionistic purposes. Religion is a personal thing, and they need to respect others&#8217; privacies. A look at Iran will give you all you need to know of what America could be if we were to fuse church and state. We do not legislate morality! We do not waste tax payer&#8217;s money on unnecessary projects such as placing prayer into school, or teaching the Bible in school. Those are things that are to be kept in the homes, not in public. Want proof that we&#8217;re not a Christian nation? <a title="http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=125" href="http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=125" target="_blank">http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=125</a></p>
<p>Next, we are a nation that has the government work for us, not the other way around. Small government is something that everyone says they want. But if you look at what conservatives want to change in the way our country works, it&#8217;s not small government at all that they want. How is enforcing live births to every baby regardless of privacy a small government thing? How is enforcing that everyone is of one religion a small government thing? How is enforcing the criminalization of drugs a small government thing? Answer: the conservatives are massively hypocritical in their definition of small government. &#8220;When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.&#8221; -Thomas Jefferson.</p>
<p>No, the way that the government is doing things is thuggish. With tactics such as the one Obama is doing now, the government is in no position to be fearing, only feared. Obama is negotiating with terrorists, something that this country is not supposed to do. The Republicans have stated &#8220;no compromise.&#8221; And when that&#8217;s been declared, we are not dealing with disciplined adults anymore. We are dealing with a party that has one thing in their cross hairs: control.</p>
<p>The Tea Party is not being fed the truth. The word &#8220;Tea&#8221; itself has been described as a bacronym for &#8220;Taxed Enough Already&#8221;. Is this not proof that the Republican Party is betraying its own supporters with the Bush tax cut extensions? The tax extensions will only really effect the top 2%. How treacherous will the Republicans be in order for the Tea Partiers realize that the Republican Party is not on their side? The plutocracy is on their own side only.</p>
<p>Until conservatives realize, accept, and confess that they are wrong, the educated community will never accept them as American patriots. And even then, it won&#8217;t be enough. For we demand an apology to go with these first steps. Even further than that. We demand our liberties and freedoms back.</p>
