The democrats think there's a class war. They think class war has taken away the benefits from the old people and taken away the educational opportunities for the youth and taken away the benefits for the veterans and taken away the benefits for the veteran's wives and that we live in a time when the families of soldiers in combat are living on welfare.

And the republicans think class warfare is when the democrats mention any of that.

If a person in a murder trial could be shown to have as direct a link chain of command to a killing as Rumsfeld has to Iraq, they could be tried, found guilty, and -- in some places -- put to the death penalty for their complicity.

What are we to say when a country that calls itself the only superpower in the world changes hands in a coup d'état as it did in 2000 and nothing is ever said and it gets swept under the rug by the next election?

The Doctrine of Corporate Personhood is in truth and technically an idolatry.

I don’t believe in capital punishment for humans, but I believe in it for corporations. The whole tort reform trip is to try to keep it so corporations cannot be sued out of business, and I thought a corporation that did bad stuff should be sued out of business. I thought the way capitalism works was, if you’re out in the jungle and a lion bites off your leg, then you’re a one-legged capitalist and that’s just the damn way it goes.

I've always wanted to visit the farm though as a labor and delivery nurse, I am far more familiar with his wife and the lay midwifery program she helped set up when the farm came to be.

2. Stephen and I are on the same wavelength

I've been saying this for years, especially since the '94 Repub "Contract on America", code words for getting government off of the corporations backs.

It didn't have anything to do with "We the People", it was all about corporate power. Corporations were allowed to write the laws and congress would make sure they passed. All for a price that "We the People" have financed for years now.

During this same time period, the laws passed were mostly against "We the People."

More intrusions into our personal lives all under the guise of the "War on Drugs", the fourth amendment was all but over at that point in history.

After seeing how well taking away our fourth amendment rights to "druggies", they saw how easy it would be to take away that right for everyone else after 9-11.

Now we have the NSA spying on all of us and there is no recourse until we change the power structure.

I think when the Supreme Court ruled that corporations were people that was when our country became a fascist state. Corporations ARE NOT People!
