If one is reflecting upon the year and recent times this Holiday season, they may breathe a sigh of relief that once again, Providence has gotten them through yet another huge round of foreclosures, layoffs, closures, and so on.

Per a recent Chinese newspaper account, the Chinese government says it’s not investing in the USA, and that most countries on earth won’t be either…not because of LBGT treatment, health care, global warming, religion, racism, nationalism(s), and the slew of wedge issues, just because global governments have no money and don’t care (http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/print.asp?id=423054 ).

In the USA, it’s said that unemployment will expand to pay China et al, but the relevant story says not much about China being concerned about or expecting or receiving returns anyway.

In these times, it’s worth remembering that the needy, foreclosed, jobless, and people on any kind of benefits always “know what they’re doing, and are irresponsible”. Something to think about, as all 2010 election and media wedge baloney will take place against he financial picture China just painted.

There’s a philosophy beginning to take root in some global political realms such that many officials are, although never before thought so in their lives or those of their forebears, as or in the nature of new life forms…much as homo habilis (wherever distributed with whatever looks)was superior to cro magnon, homo sapiens (wherever distributed with whatever looks)was superior to homo habilis, it appears that we have a new human species in our midst, one which doesn’t claim to Godhood yet is in every way superior in mind to most people while continuing to otherwise appear the same as others…this new species is homo officialianis.

According to the latest emerging modernist doctrine, this new human creature is part of a global upgrade in evolution; in fact, some, as actor Wil Smith recently noted, receive Nobel Prizes for work done in recognizing their efforts on behalf of their “breed apart” yet noble stewardship of less fortunate creatures; this new breed of human is so new it goes only by the name “flashpoints of human evolution”.

Through tight reigning of monocultural global populations, these “flashpointers”…being of a higher mental evolution than all other talking monkeys…rightly leave in the dust all law, traditions, systems of knowledge, commerce, you name it, where same are rooted in “the best the minds of lesser evolutionary value could contrive”. To them, God (let alone diverse spiritualities in response thereto) is a hoodoo, something the smaller-brained types (including, e.g., Bing Crosby, William F. Buckley Jr., William P. Clark, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, founders of Yale and Harvard) clung to as a mere device of political differences of opinion, as if to elevate themselves as man-gods over other talking monkeys like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, you get the picture; also, religion being but just one sign of “retrograde” intellect, many tiny-brains used to think they could survive Depressions together, and yet individually have dignity, worth, and almost limited capability to invent, dream, and achieve healthy international relationships…in the old days BFE, what COULD all-equal talking monkeys do but presume some God or whatever was over them, they being the highest form of life on earth, and respect each other as best they could?

With the advent of “flashpointers”, from China to the USA to Canada to Latin America and literally everywhere, no more talk of Calvinist ‘separation of wheat and chaff’ or Raptures or Fourth Reichs or re-institutions of royalty; if a “flashpointer” is a new and irrevocable next stepper in human evolution, obviously anyone not regarded by “flashpointers”, their media, or necessary private/public epigone as “evolved” must by such standard be deemed sub-human…see, only new models survived in the ancient past, right? So naturally, global “flashpointers” know best how to make it seem this or that “spiritual superstition”, LBGT community, racial group, Ladenists, or otherwise needs to be warehoused with situational treatments then no better than any other sub-humans receive(and “throwback reproduction” limited), as the mass of now-sub-humans  breathe their last making way for evolutionary progress.

Now, “flashpointers” have no idea where the first-of-first universes came from; goodness, they can’t even produce jobs or balance a budget, and many (not all) were formerly (?) the most party-animal, duty-shirking creampuff punks there ever were (though “egotism” is common to them). To be fair, everyone from Barack Obama to Hu Jintao to Vladimir Putin to Chavez to Lula and so on seems content not to claim THEMSELVES as “flashpoints of human evolution”, at best, if at all, letting such talk OF them fly without direct denials; too, maybe it’s coincidence that only “flashpointers” and those they hold tight reign on or bail out in ever-worsening economies are the only ones who can be aware of themselves, and ala apostolic succession theory pass that on in dubbing (from the vast pool of retrogrades)who should not be called sub-human and allowed to play with the New Breed…unless “distemper” is discovered later and some brutes one day are no longer warm and fuzzy.        

Only those believing in current ongoing human mental-only “flashpoints of evolution” can explain in depth how this separates them from all other life and its history, or why they express no greater knowledge than anyone has done over and over…and without miracles and such to boot. Heavens, no official or admirer thereof on earth has yet figured out how to make one tiny drop of new water…we’re STILL using the same water here for eons, and if “we dummies” could build nukes and go to space, why can’t the new ubermenschen wave greater wands than ours? 

The here foregoing is not a religious reaction nor is of essence political; it is philosophical counterpoint in rebuttal to an existentialist, Ayn Rand/Adolf Hitler form of eugenics propaganda that ANY person or official on earth could embrace or reject.

Myself, I remain happy knowing my own alleged “advanced intellect” is utterly useless…nonquam…if I use it only for myself/epigone, and will earn me bitter judgment of God if I don’t try to use my gifts in building up ALL souls on the globe in positive, civil, traditional human ways…and encouraging our fellowship in such pursuits.

I hope this makes clear what I mean to all people of every stripe when I continue to say and wish from the essence of my soul: “Merry Christmas! Peace And Goodwill To All!”

One of the things we keep hearing even into this Holiday season is how President Obama represents the USA has a long history it must atone for abroad, globally, and now ol’ Republiservative in the spirit of global monoculturalists offers for free links to politically corrected great hymns of other nations’ past, hymns which lost face due to assorted world faiths, democracies, and especially the meanie USA:

“The Red October Hymn” as Lev Trotsky swooned over!  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnpEgAYrzGM&feature=PlayList&p=1F263438A86EDF01&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=4 )

Remember that German funster of 1934-1945, who was billed as a messianic leader leading a religiously elite SchutzStaffeln in ridding earth of all subhumans? Well,  let’s apologize for USA and all prior earth’s good people who shouldn’t have bothered the nice dude, and listen to his Nummer Eins Hit…

“Deutschland Uber Alles” (Complete with reminder footage of His Fuehrerness and “clerics!)

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEdoLKknCi0 )

Who can forget the similar style anthem of Iran as zany funnyman and Imam/Jurist replacer MyMood Alibabjihad sits on folks, just like ol’ Dolf did, making Iran as fun for Iranians and earth as Dolf did for Germans and the world, while crooning….

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFGL7gI9u_E&feature=related )

And to wrap it up, let’s listen to that democracy-oppressed China, whose only hymn other than this is that anything they don’t tell their folks and earth is anti-government superstition:

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQFEDdaG64o )

This Holiday Season, as if most people had social phobia (http://www.socialphobia.org/whatis.html )and would rather go to a movie than talk to a passerby, work, or go to a house of worship, let’s consider what getting behind Obama’s call for atonement and joining in could mean for global prosperity.

President Obama has this year represented that his critics should just shut up and let things lie and expand as they are; you know, he may be right!

Yes, there are a slew of critics ranging from his own party to secular to religious objectors, but does anybody notice that they’re all running out of money, as those they claim support them (at least in petitioning or opinion polling style) also run out of cash, credit, and aid? Most importantly, does anyone notice that most people just want whatever degree of consumerism is meted to them until it’s “their time”, without thought of or to anyone else and without real expectation the New Culture will change or fail to touch them? So it goes in Illinois, Tennessee, Oregon, Idaho, name it.  

It’s as if most USA folks of every origin collectively say: “Yep, it’s global totalism now, what from money to anything else is out there FOR us to do besides peck at each other, watch sports, and go to movies until it’s our turn to go? They’ve taken global rights, personal economic control, creative aspirations, property upon which to build or retain houses of worship (indicating a non-existent, dead or weakling Creator) and need for ambition or even exercise away from most of us…even foreign dictators have always needed someone to dictate TO, let’s stick with the statism, the sports/celebrity/talk radio fan as the only group dynamics left to us, and maybe they’ll take more people ahead instead of us…yeah, it’s crummy to be a kept State hamster if a pollster asks but really, do most of us even seem capable of taking time away from our sports, movies and managed consumerism except for ‘tea bag moments’ and election year blogging?”.

If that or something close to it IS the reality of the majority population, then President Barack Hussein Obama is absolutely correct that most people don’t WANT to be educated, work, create businesses, get married or care who is, otherwise be equity parts of society, or have liberties protected…in such case, don’t blame atheists, Hu Jintao, Osama bin Laden, Democrats, Republicans, Putin, Satan, God, whoever; in a democratic Republic, where the majority of people do not care what needs to be done even to them or their children to permanently simply exist (and no more), and have a pattern of being self-absorbed armchair quarterbacks letting everyone else fix everything even back in “better times”, then even if critics of the government make scholastically lucid, legally sound, and generally accurate gainsays or constructive alternative plans these are NOT things the majority public wants…and though it’s extreme to label critics generally as DHS report fodder, still, critics need to see Obama IS giving the mass population what it wants as it manifestly partakes of handouts with minimal grousing, sort of the way one feeds a cat and might get hissed anyway yet the cat submissively returns for more.

Indeed, it appears Obama critics need to face the reality that they ARE “revolutionary” in nature, where they transcend ministering to shrinking numbers at all interested in hearing about peaceful alternative life philosophies or religious living; Obama critics need to accept that most people today would rather re-arrange their aimless day to see the OSU Ducks vs. U of O Beavers “civil war” football game than help or even talk to a stranger, or than picket the State capitol for jobs 24/7/365 (in a State with massive unemployment, more coming). Now THAT’s putting the body where the soul truly is, all such gamesters’ faint mewing notwithstanding as they freely act in the nature of trotting next to their keepers hoping for more scraps…Trent Lott’s book title was too limited, as it seems “Herding Cats” is not just for the Senate Leadership anymore.

Wherefore, the spirit of Jesus through Gandhi through Dr. King is manifestly kaput in today’s USA, and thus it might be nice if PACs and Churches/Similar limit talking to their own choirs…we must stop the “concept revolution” against ideologies the manifest USA population wishes to tolerate. To keep face with the Hegelian notion that ANY system (including secular) which does not admit of unbelief is a mere convenience, I would respectfully submit that hermeneutic peaceful religions and ministers respecting the USA State as giving the majority population what it wants (including LBGT marriage, less labor, CCA and other imprisonment for distempers, military escalations, aid to Ladenist nations, abortion, and actual or perceived moral relativity) should not be included as being “false religious” or barred from assembly/expression due to their own opposite views, and that their admittedly minority actual adherents be able to object and withhold their service(s) on conscience grounds where enough secular or other parties in simpatico with the majority are easily available.

Folks, those of us who want to resist intellectual or ethically rhetorical “evil” today can do it but one way, if you’ll take a sober look at reality: if you see it, don’t do it yourselves; if you give money to a PAC or Church, expect it will sustain the choir alone at best; if you’re going to “make” an unbeliever(s) hear you, no matter how “compelling”, even Thomas Aquinas would tell you harming unbelievers is against the will of Jesus and God (“Summa Theologica”, Volume Two, Part Two, Question 10, Articles 1 through 12) unless they force themselves upon you in your physical person (actual personal attack, only force enough to stop it kosher)…and secularly, even I would detain the true armed, egocentric and dangerous.

After all, in this economy at a time of sluggish Christmas sales and rising domestic abuse, who packs in more of those attendees and viewers: Lou Dobbs, the RNC/DNC, some union, any nature of any faith’s Church/Mosque/Temple/House of Worship, or Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon for the OSU v. U of O “civil war” game? (Hint: Statewide here today, ala those 1936 Mercedes touring cars back in Germany’s Dolf Days, all you see are fender flags for either the Oregon State or University of Oregon football teams.) Fans, if you feel a bit the same the next morning, please don’t vent on others or officials; and again, even I would detain the socially lazy, egocentric and dangerous.

Within most major faiths, capital punishment has been not uncommonly tolerated if sometimes applied capriciously and unpredictably.

In the historical Hindu Code of Manu (a god of black hue and red eyes), capital punishment was frequently applied per type of offense, even trifles, and could be: impalement on a stake, trampling by an elephant, burning, roasting, being cut to pieces, being devoured by dogs, or undergoing mutilations.

Old Hebrew law afforded death by stoning but in many instances also slaying with sword, spear, or dagger per mere expediency or choice of the executioner. The thought here was although Genesis said God expelled a killer, but would be sevenfold harsher to one taking vengeance against a killer, as long as it wasn’t vigilantism outside official venues capital punishment could be kosher.

In traditional Muhammadan canon (such as Laden-slacking Pakistan's State-run Islam dictates), one could lose body parts for an array of offenses, but even where fathers killed their sons, about the only capital punishment would be for apostasy from Islam (including Pakistani government policy) or to leave your own other faith for anything but Islam; also, though against Allah to kill innocent non-believers, such canon says not the slightest vengeance can be had unless another Muslim had promised protection of an unbeliever’s life.

Martin Luther in “Plass”, and even Pope John Paul II in encyclicals, stressed up to lethal force if needed could be used where one is attacked through no fault of their own (Luther excluded resistance only if in a Church; Catechism of the Catholic Church articles 2265, 2266 approve State use of armed forces and death penalty on stipulation); these leaders reasoned that without respect for one’s own humble human dignity re self-defending, one cannot respect dignity of others.

I myself feel it wouldn’t be for the interests of humanity that well-conducted and useful members of the community or world should be more exposed to deprivation of life by murder in order that the lives of murderers may be spared. But there should be dignity even for defendants taken into any nation’s or State’s custody.

Whereas common law (or “natural law” or “religious canon”) seems excellent for achieving the chancery purposes in commercial and civil law, universal criminal codes requiring charge limit (AND charging no matter “who offered who protection”)to overtly excessive physical action(s) against the body(ies) of another(s), affording real representation to defendants, providing humane execution, and according a well-formed appeals process seem best for avoiding excessive or egregious use of lex talionis and for exercising what universally is conceived as human rights of detainees in cases of capital punishment…without derogation to the essence of any peaceful faith or peaceful philosophy of unbelief.

Look at certian email homepages today; all abuzz that Qaeda's number two puke disapproves of Obama's first few months. Oh lordy, is DHS right NOW...criticize Obama or Dems or any official(s) ANYWHERE, and YOU are the radical suspect?

We all know China, Bush, Obama, and many others give bazillions of our and IMF money to Pakistan, the Taliban, and so on, while Qaeda obviosuly gets more guns, swords, cash and credit than any of us. But if one of their henchmen who "can't be caught, just hates Jesus, do as they say!" says HE "doesn't like" Obama, who wouldn't believe the ones Qaeda takes money out the mouths FROM aren't going to be "recruited" by them?

This kind of Qaedamontade is pure garbage, insofar as anyone who might try to get us to think complain about jobs, help the homeless, don't act as Office of Faith-Based Initiatives says, worry about mortgages/credit/schooling/healthcare quality, and DHS will coordinate a Federal down to local pounce on YOU...."radicals".

In 2004, Senator John Kerry insisted we can't just drill our way out of oil issues; between then and 2008, assorted Democrats have claimed that mantra; now candidates like T. Boone Pickens are saying we can't drill our way out...and Pickens says HE should know, what with being a longtime oil tycoon and all.
 
If Nancy Pelosi and Pickens stood for four years insisting I had two heads on my neck, and enlisted marketers and activists to help parrot such mantra, that still would not put an extra head on my neck...evidence and dynamics do play a part in credibility, which never stands on say-so opinion.
 
The fact is, if Democrats or Al Franken or Pickens et al actually felt there was a true shortage that could bring human life to a standstill imminently in a short while, they wouldn't talk about needing wind and solar and biodiesel and ethanol in the far, far remotest eventuality.
 
The point is, opposition to Bush and ANWR et al seems mostly in the nature of "puke on Bush and the GOP, vote for me and none but me 'cause as long as there's ONE GOP left, pooey, what can we poor Libs and Mods do? Can't they see Mymood Alibabjihad has only GOOD in mind for us?Oh, boo-hoo-hoo, vote for MEEEEEE!!!!!!".
 
The one thing Pickens and Democrats CAN do is not even try to extract whatever oil we've got, which is odd given they don't even think we'll ever have a military or defense use again, and that they want the USA out of all the Mid East including its oil by any means obtained.
 
Worse, they say we should turn over all our contracted and sovereign resources together to foreign nations, so they can sell it back to us (through Pickens' production systems?) at exorbitant rates...q.v., LOST and U.N. "globally nationalized" resources deals which have left Norwegians paying over twice what we do for oil in their own backyard.
 
For these reasons, I respectfully submit that Congress should not adjourn until it lifts its own ban against domestic drilling.
 

We all know Al Gore and Senators like Durbin long called for Hussein's removal on non-Qaeda terrorism concerns inter alia, then once accomplished turned and said gosh, that was just a gambit to let steam off al-Qaeda...believeing Democrats when they said Hussein was a supporter of terrorism or even could be as such a despot; many pols today further try to weave Islamic and Christian liberation theologies into a valid "make amends" for provoking poor Qaeda and Hussein and Iran even if they did do things; today, a new Kucinich email PSA is in my inbox saying he'll have the House clerk call for a vote on referring impeachment hearings to the Judiciary Committee on implication something awesome about our "cut it out, they're good!" liberation theology friends...whom post haste all Federal and State laws should be amended to accomodate.
 
My only other religious interest besides ULC has been Roman Catholicism, on such faith and ineterpretations as expressed through works written or maintained by the Vatican.
 
Before Bush or Obama were on the scene, my knowledge of comparative religious perspectives and of exploring religion was akin to that expressed through "Ways Of Being Religious", a 2000 textbook compiled by Gary E. Kessler of California State University, Bakersfield; many of the therein footnoted reading references are also known to me; said textbook has ISBN # 0-7674-0089-5. Such is the scale by which, outside of Catholic or ULC participation, I consider comparative religious studies.
 
As to credibility of sources upon which I consider comparisons, same include writings of:
 
1. Arvind Sharma, born in India, capacity as Professor of Comparative Religion at McGill University, Montreal Canada; wrote "The Hindu Gita" (1986), "A Hindu Perspective On The Philosophy Of Religion" (1990), "Religion And Women" (1993), and "Today's Woman In World Religions" (1993).
 
2. Masao Abe, born in Japan, capacity of Visiting Professor in the Dept. of Philosophy at Purdue University; he was a leading interpreter of Buddhism, and a leading participant in Christian-Buddhist dialgoue; writing include essay "Kenotic God and Dynamic Sunyata" and book "Zen and Western Thought" (1985); he won the 1985 American Academy of Religion award for outstanding contribution to scholarship in religion.
 
3. Tu Wei-Ming, born in China, capacity teacher of Chinese intellectual history at Princeton University and the University of California at Berkeley prior to being Harvard Professor of Chinese History and Philosophy (1981); lectured on Confucian Humanism at Peking University, Taiwan University, Chinese University in Hong Kong, and University of Paris; a member of the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; wrote "Neo-Confucian Thought In Action: Wang Yang-Ming's Youth" (1976), "Centrality and Commonality" (1976), "Humanity and Self-Cultivation" (1979), "Confucian Thought: Selfhood as Creative Transformation" (1985), and "Way, Learning and Politics: Essays on the Confucian Intellectual" (1989).
 
4. Liu Xiaogan, born in China, held PhD in philosophy from Beijing University, capacity Visiting Scholar in Dept. of Religion at Princeton University; most of his works were on Taoism, including "Chung-Tzu's Philosophy and Its Development".
 
5. Jacob Neusner, capacity Distinguished Research Professor of religious Studies, University of South Florida Tampa, and Life Member of Clare Hall, Cambridge University England; wrote 500 books on Judaism and served as President of the American Academy of religion (1968-69).
 
6. Harvey G. Cox, capacity Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity at Harvard University and as ordained Baptist minister; wrote "The Secular City" (1965), "The Feast of Fools" (1969), "The Salvation of the Spirit" (1973), and "turning East" (1977).
 
7. Seyyed Hossein Nasr, born in Iran; 1958-79 was Professor of Philosophy at Tehran University, later Professor of Islamic Studies at George Washington University; his 1981 Gifford lectures published as "Knowledge and the Sacred", also wrote "Ideals and Realities of Islam" (1966) and "Traditional Islam in the Modern World" (1987).
 
Insofar as so-called pagan religions are concerned, I rely on whatever best scholarly treatises may exist; in the case of lifelong pursuit of articulating what religion is, I condiser the works of James Breasted (University of Chicago) re ancient Egyptian culture and that of Ur (now Iraq) as I find same last precedent to modern religions.
 
It is from such resources and analysis of modern facts that I respectfully submit...as a voter and USA national only...that I do not believe President Bush committed bad-faith efforts against Islam "causing" it to reactively build jihadists.
 
First, only about two percent of Muslims are nomadic, thusly 98% are not dirt poor or open to jihad on account of poverty; even the EUP PSE references poverty is only a small facet of Islamic terrorism.
 
Second, jihad is a DUTY of leaders in the Caliphate/Imamate branch of Islam; the purpose of jihad seems to be to cause others to become either Muslims or protected people, then "fortifying the marches" so that any Muslim or protected person isn't harmed by outsiders...among those believing in such "final triumph" of Islam are the Twelver Shiites, members of the official State religion of Iran today (although it's unclear how much government rather than people influence that), and of course al-Qaeda, of course Saddam Hussein as Caliphates given to such belief themselves. Given what even Democrats said about Hussein during Clinton, and on heels of 911, a reduction of such Caliphate/Imamate-based extremists and their ability to operate globally seemed reasonable...and still does re threats from Tehran.
 
Third, Qaedan jihad seems to concern itself with appeal to the 2% of dirt-poor Muslims and on largely "day one" Islamic perspectives; Hussein and Irani-type jihad seems to concern itself with purely nationalistic interests on a geopolitical basis. As example, Qaeda looks at the Islamic Surah 4:34 literally: "Men have authority over women because Allah has made one superior to the other", yet Iran includes women in social functionality...the more likely "civil war" factor.
 
Fourth, surely if European and USA officials thought more than a tiny percentage of the world's Muslims were open to radicalization against ANYONE not an Islamic zealot, such officials would not all at once reduce defenses, invite jihadists to diplomat status as if "new age defense", and continue with cultures otherwise so 180 degrees opposite Islamic fundamentalism...where merely letting women vote is a "PING!". Which bears up that jihadists aren't offering the West or anyone else "protected persons" status against Qaedan terror unless they are exempted from the circumstances and from obeying laws like other immigrants and nationals.
 
Fifth, Christian liberation theology may have sprung up in Latin nations, q.v. CBE's in Brazil, but now exists in every corner of the globe; such theology is based on theory Christ was actually some kind of Socialist ubermensch who wants leaders treated as kings while disciples live in tents eating bread and shake down whoever they can for cash and such yet who isn't their leader; these liberationists apparently claim even the original Apostles "got it wrong", let alone the Vatican; governments tend to treat them as "knowing best" and ala everyday Muslims lumped with jihadists as "ALL are terrorists", anyone anywhere not following the "special catechisms" of liberation folks gets tossed in with the liberation front, getting called "ALL (nationality here) are such people!".
 
Wherefore, I respectfully submit that any attempt to impeach President Bush at this late, late date is wholly partisan, and seeks as tangent to its purpose an implication that all immigrants are here on canard they're all super-tough rogues who'll spare us, and who want to see totalist governments arrange their wills and faiths for them...no matter what anyone says about Bush or who wins the next election.
 

My wife is of Ulster-Scot descent, including on one side a slight Dutch-Cherokee mix, and is a Stephens College business grad inter alia whose heroes remain Queen Elizabeth II and Jean Kirkpatrick; she spent much of yesterday telling me it's not my style to be politically or lawfully inert just because in past some have tried to kill, maim, or use Courts against me on account of truth or views, that I would not be happy with myself ever again if I shut up especially (SHE told ME) "in Illinois where NOBODY ever does anything to ANYBODY, you just imagine it or work in cahoots with strangers", and that I would not be the man she married and is happy with were I to not at least stay with Conservatives through this year's elections...in that spirit, and while we still plan to go elsewhere by this Fall, I will stay involved through the election.
 
I see at my email today Obama is going to have three thousand "we worship YOU for change" gatherings this Saturday; he claimed to have as many last Summer, but outside Chicago most seemed to have no more than the neighborhood organizer attend; maybe huge crowds all at once across America will be flashed by all media, together with "change" specifics.
 
Two other things seem more interesting as Obama reaches out with nebulous "change" palavers...Mayor Daley, after at least ten years, has finally noticed Chicago porches fall apart on first use, most folks today with crummy porches are new immigrants, and is going to nail those "right-wingers" who built and own them; and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) is going to start suing Countrywide inter alia mostly for immigrants and slightly for nationals re giving them homeloans and expecting them to pay without having work ( which Obama will tell you itself is due to all this xenophobic and nationalistic racism because too MANY jobs exist; q.v., must go green for global warming, as long as it doesn't involve work or land to produce own fuels or alternatives against U.N. LOST wishes).
 
You know, in re consumer credit protection here, one institutionalized thing with Chicago and Illinois Democrats is the practice of doing away with centuries-old doctrines hich make employers and those serve by contractors liable for acts and omissions of their agents; e.g., I have a Court order which requires Mid America to give good references on any inquiry ever-after, but Mid America filed for sheriff door knock-down after first seeing we had all possessions and ourselves moved into Oregon; you catch them on that or anyting else re CRAs, all they have to do is say "they didn't intend their agents, lawyers, or contracted services to do that", ditto can anyone say including your employers, and just like ab initio, Courts and Madigans feel it would be unfair to then have a proper party sign a reference or relevant verification and present it to you through them as part of any record. Correlatively, although a shopbook entry in usual course, unsigned CRA printouts are deemed "hearsay" if a CRA tells the State or a Court "not MINE!"...and anyone saying it is or that's what they got? Oh, more evidence of a vast, right-wing conspiracy trying to gain political advantage, ignore them.
 
As to Illinois Democrats and Attorney General consumer credit protection over actual matter, like Daley on the sub-State level with his porches or anything else, Madigan excels at winning suits, which always have deadlines for victims to contact her for settlement shares, but too often, wouldn't you know, so many people just never get in touch with her office in a timely or well-documented fashion; comes to mind the victory Madigan won a few years ago re Household: like the one my wife got, tons of folks around late 2000 et seq got bulk-mailed live checks in amounts of thousands of dollars, which enticed them to cash it and use money for anything at all, or tear up and throw out if they didn't want it; yep, wouldn't you know, my wife and I then living in Nashville TN, no matter what proofs of content and mailings and relevant contact attempts we had, doggone it!! We were just to stupid, lazy, or both to get a "timely" claim in, just like all the other sluggards obviously working with Bush and McCain in a vast right-wing conspiracy to make good folks look bad.
 
So anybody gets a settlement entitlement via Madigan, maybe videotape what you do to timely comply and put it on Youtube or whatever as backup; wouldn't want to have your USPS proofs called part of a vast conspiracy, would you?
 
As to porches and Obama as the Lord Of Job Creation: Um, 287g also works here such that you round up as many immigrants as you set up in homes, in election years "round up and get out of town" all those "illegals" a vast conspiracy let in, put up cinder block and facade quickie little warehouses and store fronts which then remain eternally "for sale" as proof of attracting commerce and jobs, move all the "287 g roundups" to a town or State a little farther away from town than most folks go, build so many exurbanite New Urban communities with crummy porches and all, the mind reels how commerce (or structural perfection) can possibly compete with new super-fast build ups of such communities. Ususally, in "off" years, new immigrants go to the old town as nationals lose homes, process of packing 287 g's elsewhere repeats, easy election, easy big paychecks for officials...nobody gets work, equity becomes more political will than money or dignity.
 
Something to think about as Democrats eye HR 1955 to quash nationals AND immigrants to make mainstream lives for those demanding jihad against the USA or anyone else ala Atta and 9/11, instead of constraining them abroad as Bush does.
 

One sees that next on the whirlwind of ideas not tethered to causations is Obama saying he'll crack down on energy traders...let's just assume he's going to be for cracking down on anything that moves, IF it ever actually contributes to a problem, causes one, or both; surely, even Obama would have introduced a bill or something at the State or later Federal level if he actually had proof of anything he's "out to get" during campaigns only. Insofar as that, there isn't much energy stuff to hit OUR traders for, since it's all controlled by the likes of Iran and Chavez in Venezuela as nationalizers, raw product producers, or both.

As to the limitless stuff Democrats and Obama are out to get IF they ever have evidence to support such "getting", this includes nationalism, xenophobia, and of course racism. The biggest "amen" choir Obama has there is the UCC, Roman Catholic priest Pfleger, and USA Roman Catholic Bishops and Cardinals such as those in Chicago.
 
In the stunning absence of how all this organized racism and nationalism is happening, line by line, chapter and verse, Obama and his choir expect us to just PRESUME it goes on AND is keeping folks of color or tongues other than English (so you can also slap at diverse ethnics and races citizens for generations) from some 1960's or way bigger industrial-military edifice dripping with jobs and dignity.
 
That's canard one for consumption to non-nationals. Number two: the "you're all low-brow cretins and apes who need tender mercies and nurturing from the poor natures your leaders at home cultivate in you, you poor victims of your society". These days, social liberals and Pfleger types literally are banging non-stop to suggest all non-whites and foreigners, you see, are natural born killers without the mental capacity for behaving nicely...which is why, for example, it's become stylish to actually come out and say things like "oh my God! The police somewhere shot another non-White or non-citizen who, after all, was only armed in violation of carry or gun possession laws and actually was intending to shoot other non-Whites, Whites, police, oh, who cares...amen and verily, the Christian thing to do is harp about gun violence and harsher laws, then say that police are race and ethnic cleansers for even daring to think a non-White or non-national has the ability to know what they're doing".
 
See, canard one is the lure for immigrants, canard two is the "tolerance" of certain violence in the same nature as the European Union Parliament does; plus, canard two is the basis for quashing and re-arranging or jailing or whatever one's own nationals and even other immigrants, ala said Parliament's Article 13, to make room and tolerance for the violence and deaths caused by terrorists and anyone the government deems the proper party for raining havoc and death upon at-large populations.
 
To reiterate, it seems poor service to imply all non-Whites and non-English speaking people are nothing but killer drones who need tender love no matter how long they conduct ethnic cleansing at home, terrorism for any reasons, and so forth; as the Democrat 2007-08 security agenda stands unaltered to date, including by Obama and Clinton, HR 1955 to quash USA nationals WILL happen, LOST WILL give away our ability to process or produce ANYTHING considered fuel and with ot without Socializing/nationalizing all necessary business to avoid discussions, and the USA WILL adopt the same sweeping powers to re-arrange any immigrants and nationals in ways exactly like Qaeda, Hamas, Chavez, Mexico, Darfur's Janjaweed, and others do, making said folks and places something to expect immigrants to run from and need compassion against (and we're SURE even non-Whites and most immigrants want that?).
 
I for one believe that most folks can easily live in diversity within the USA and elsewhere, and don't need a life "keeper", especially in some nature of New Urban minimum security/trail by video or GPS lockdown with "income" limited to some kind of subsidy or "credit" good only for what the warden can get his hands on or feels like meting out at politically orthodox realtors and providers (GUM or "feel lucky" socialized/totalized medicine sound familiar?).
 
Let's not stoop to the raw racism, again ala the 1960's, that assumes non-Whites/non-English speakers are all bloody animals in need of keepers...and further that putting all of us together in the ultimate national housing project minus farms, jobs, and social dignity is doing more than creating a horror which otherwise has no life.
