U.S. economy continues to soar under President Obama. Most economic and job growth since the Clinton years

2012-02-04T12:10:00.001-08:00

President Obama has already created more jobs than Reagan and Bush combined.

President Obama ended the Bush 2 Recession and prevented the world-wide Bush Recession that was being created starting in 2001. We have already seen more job growth and economic growth in the past three years than anytime since the 1990's under President Clinton when he ended the Bush 1 Reccession in 1993. President Obama has already created more jobs and economic growth than Reagan and Bush ever did.

The deficit is lower today than it was during the Bush error and more Americans have access to health care than ever thanks to President Obama.

Republicans today realize that they are wasting everybody's time by pretending they can campaign to win the White House this year. It's not going to happen. People are not going to support Romeny, Gingrich or Santorum. People want to see the economy continue to grow, the deficit to be continue to be reduced and they want to keep their health care rights.

Republicans will have to abandon their plans for tax cuts for the rich and oil coporations. They will have to abandon their plans for war with Iran and getting rid of health care.

Thank you, President Obama. We are looking forward to four more years!

Catholics and Christians cannot deny anyone health care. HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT

2012-02-03T19:00:00.000-08:00

Apparently some Catholics are upset that all hospitals and doctors will have to provide basic reproductive medical care.

Republicans and their cronies at Fox News and hate radio are hoping this will turn voters against President Obama. But this is likely to have give him a net gain of votes. Most women prefer to control their own reporoductive options and would not be happy with allowing priests to decide what should be covered by insurance and what should not.

If you think there is any number of people in the USA in 2012 who were perviously in favor of Obama but who will now change their mind about him because of this policy then your are beyond deluded.

America is not a Catholic nation. It is not a Christian nation. It is becoming a progressive nation.

Get used to it.

Why are Republicans even bothering to campaign for the White House this year?

2012-02-03T18:38:00.000-08:00

Who on Earth thinks these clowns can be president?

The world is laughing at the Republicans. Everyone knows that President Obama will be re-elected.

McCain/Palin '08 was pure comedy for us and Romney and Gingrich are jokes as well. Bush was probably the biggest source of ridicule from the rest of the world America ever had. Why wouldn't the next crop of Cons be the same?

President Obama has already won the 2012 election

2012-01-24T20:52:00.000-08:00

A wonderful speech by President Obama tonight.

The 2012 election is already over and President Obama has won. He won his second term tonight.

*Tax incentives for companies who bring manufacturing BACK to the US

*Make the rich pay their fair share

*Invest in education and science

*No tax incentives for companies who export jobs

*Higher tax for the wealthy...a CEO shouldn't pay less tax than his secretary

*No tax increase for people making under $250K a year

*Incentives to manufacture technology domestically and keep tech jobs HOME

*Empowering community colleges to be career gateways for unemployed

*Natural gas jobs, Natural gas independence

*Green energy jobs

*Money saved from getting the out of Iraq...use half to pay down the Bush deficit and use half to provide infastructure jobs HERE AT HOME.

Rebuild America.

Jobs Jobs Jobs.

Obama 2012!

As Republicans continue to self-destruct, President Obama's re-election victory gets bigger and bigger

2012-01-21T19:31:00.000-08:00

Can President Obama really be this lucky?

Everyone knows that President Obama will win a second term this November. He has earned, he deserves it and America needs it.

Yet despite this, Republicans are still pretending they can nominate someone who can "defeat" President Obama this year. No moderate or intelligent voter will take a Rush clone seriously during the national elections. President Obama will really defeat Gingrich easily. Or Mitt Romeny. I don't know what on earth the GOP voters are doing.

Thank you President Obama for reducing the military. It is time for PEACE, NOT WAR

2012-01-05T20:29:00.000-08:00

One of the key reasons why people voted for President Obama in 2008 was that they wanted peace. They were tired and angry about Bush's illegal wars of aggression on Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. Instead of investing money in education and green energy and health care, Bush wasted billions on guns, bombs, wars and torture.

President Obama is keeping is promises. By removing American military occupation forces from Afghanistan and Iraq, we are replacing war with peace. Instead spending billions on war, we'll be investing in peace.

Why do Christians insist on inserting religion in Christmas?

2011-12-25T12:04:00.001-08:00

Christmas should be a time for everyone to enjoy, to reflect, to share and how to be a better person. It shouldn't be just a day for Christians to voice their beliefs and try to impose them on others.

Best Holiday Wishes to you, President Obama!

2011-12-23T11:36:00.000-08:00

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for another wonderful year of progress.   We are all so happy that you are our president.   The world is a better place because of you.   America is starting to become a good place as well because of your leadership and vision.

2012 is going to be an exciting year.   You will win a well-deserved second term as president and we'll be embarking on new journey's of progress and growth.

You have already ended the Bush Recession, gave us health care, investments in science, green energy and health care.   The economy is growing again and people are getting jobs again.   You ended Bush's war on Iraq and stopped the torture. You have restored our rights to be free and diverse and for that, we cannot thank you enough.

We'll be working hard for you in 2012 and forever.   We love you.

Have a wonderful vacation and a beautiful and fun holiday season!

Why do Republicans want bad relations with North Korea?

2011-12-22T10:39:00.000-08:00

Former President Jimmy Carter recently sent North Korea a message of condolence over the death of Kim Jong-il. He wished every success to Kim Jong-un, the son of Kim Jong-il who died this week.

For some reason these gesture of decency has been attacked by Republicans and the Conservative war-mongers. What is the big deal here for them? Why not get relations with North Korea off to a good start? Diplomacy is the way America and North Korea can become friends.

Is President Obama too intelligent for many Americans?

2011-12-11T17:20:00.000-08:00

Polls show that most Americans support President Obama and will reelected him for his second term in 2012. But there is still considerable number of Americans who don't support the president. There are even some Americans who actually blame President Obama for the economic problems that Bush created during his eight years of mistakes.

What can President Obama do to reach out to these stupid Americans? Is there any hope for them?

Things are BETTER under President Obama

2011-12-04T23:10:00.001-08:00

Reagan said it best when he asked, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?"

Of course, in the case of Barack Obama, its 3+ years ago that he took office and there is a lot of time between now and the next election. A lot could happen- good and bad.

But we, as a nation, ARE undeniably and measurably better off now than we were just 3 short years ago. When Obama won the presidency in 2008, the economy was in free fall. We faced the greatest economic crash since the great depression losing massive numbers of American jobs in just a few short weeks.

TODAY, fears of a depression or even a double dip recession are beginning to dissipate. In October alone, we gained 80,000 jobs. Unemployment is not rising as it was in 2008. Its FALLING. It has gone from more than 10 percent, now dipping below 9 percent. While we still have a long way to go, jobs ARE being created and the economy is improving. (The only argument to be made is that it could be improving FASTER- no doubt the Republican nominee will make this assertion in 2012 if the economy is still improving)

Not only that, the world's most wanted terrorist has been killed. While Obama didn't pull the trigger himself, he made a decisive move to use ground troops to take out the Al Qaeda leader rather than launching a missile which would have made it difficult to confirm the terrorist's death. A tyrant named Gadaffi has also been toppled with American help.

Obama is not my ideal president but its tough to deny that killing the world's most wanted terrorist and FALLING unemployment are positive developments for this nation and, frankly, I sleep a lot better at night knowing that the economy is improving and the world's most wanted terrorist is dead and gone.

Sure, things could always be BETTER. BUt its tough to deny that we're doing better today than in late 2008!

U.S. economy economy continues to soar under President Obama. Unemployment rate down to 8.6%

2011-12-04T13:37:00.000-08:00

Republicans got even more bad news the other way. The unemployment rate has dropped again down to 8.6%. President Obama has already created more jobs than Bush did in eight years:

The president’s Council of Economic Advisers, in a report released in March, estimated that between 2.5 million and 3.6 million jobs were created or saved by President Obama's stimulus through the fourth quarter of 2010.

Separately, the council’s report cited four independent analyses by the Congressional Budget Office and three private economic analysis companies. Here’s what the groups found:

• CBO: Between 1.3 million and 3.6 million jobs saved or created.

• IHS/Global Insight: 2.45 million jobs saved or created.

• Macroeconomic Advisers: 2.3 million jobs saved or created.

• Moody’s Economy.com: 2.5 million jobs saved or created.

"Occupy Black Friday" - Say no to corporate greed and corporate profit

2011-11-24T19:11:00.000-08:00

"The idea is simple, hit the corporations that corrupt and control American politics where it hurts, their profits,"
http://www.facebook.com/OccupyBF

It it time to start making the corporations hire people. There's always a reason to hire. People who aren't intelligent or creative enough to find a good reason to hire people have no business running a company.

We can make the economy even better with tax increases, especially on the rich

2011-11-23T18:16:00.000-08:00

I write this because it is the truth. It is a proven fact. I know that the Conservatives will deny it of course, but facts are facts. Tax increases spur economic growth and more importantly, they help government create a better society with essential services.

The last prosperous time in the U.S. was with President Clinton which saw tax increases.

Eisenhower, the Republican president raised taxes to 90% in the 1950s and those times weren't known for economic stagnation.

But when Bush imposed his tax cuts for the rich in 2001 it created the recession that is why the economy is poor today. The economy is recovering today thanks to President Obama and new jobs are being created every month. But we need more revenue and the rich, certainly must pay their fair share.

President Obama will win a second a term in 2012

2011-11-19T14:50:00.001-08:00

Why are Republicans wasting their time trying to convince themselves that they can win the White House in 2012?

"They showed us their power. And we're showing them ours"

2011-11-15T18:39:00.000-08:00

Despite the tragic events in New York today, the Occupy Movement is alive and well. The deeply unfortunate actions taken by the New York police and by their RepubliCON mayor will not stop people from expression their rights. We cannot allow the rich have to silence speech and people's rights.

By contrast, the Seattle City Council approved a measure in support of Occupy movement. It is a shame that New York could not follow their example.

Here's the latest from http://occupywallst.org:

"They showed us their power. And we're showing them ours."

We are here because we believe a better world is possible. We are willing to endure mistreatment, if by doing so we can help re-enfranchise the 99% and reclaim our democracy from the stranglehold of Wall Street and the top one percent.

We will push back against billionaire Michael Bloomberg and any politician who wantonly tramples on proud American freedoms: freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and the freedom of Americans to peaceably assemble and petition for change.

We will overcome the obstacles placed before us. We will not be deterred. We will persevere. Our message is resonating across America, and our cause is shared by millions around the world. We are the 99%, and we want to live in a world that is for all of us — not just for those who have amassed great wealth and power.

Finally! Gay love scene on GLEE coming up!!!

2011-11-03T19:39:00.000-07:00

Gleeks you MUST tune in for next week’s episode of Glee, called “The First Time.” It’s without a doubt one of Glee‘s best installments ever and features two popular couples on the show having sex for the first time.

The couples losing their virginity? Finn and Rachel and…Kurt and Blaine! Yep, the couple — who was featured on the cover of EW’s Gay Teens on TV issue – finally decide to take the next step in their relationship. It’s all handled very delicately and is incredibly moving. I can’t think of another network series that’s taken a teenage gay relationship so far or been so progressive. The moment is instigated when another teen, Warbler member Sebastian (Grant Gustin), aggressively pursues Blaine. The trio actually have a very amusing triple date to West Lima’s only gay bar Scandals and run into none other than Karofsky (Max Adler). Look for a great moment between Karofsky and Kurt.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA. HOPE, CHANGE AND PROGRESS!

Living at Occupy Wall Street movement in San Francisco

2011-10-22T11:18:00.001-07:00

I am very proud to be a member of the Occupy Wall Street movement in San Francisco. We are the people, we are everyone. We have rights and we have every right to defend access to employment that we want, health care, education and a voice in society. We will not allow the corporations or the Republicans to take our rights away.

Evolution is our future. Diversity is our reality. Science is fact. Tolerance is what we must be.

The Koch Brothers fund Herman Cain

2011-10-18T22:15:00.000-07:00

The Koch brothers have a long list of demands for Cain. Eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency for one, so that the Koch brothers can continue polluting. His 9-9-9 tax plan was right from the mouth of a Koch lackey, same with his policy on immigration, abortion and gay marriage.

The difference between Soros funding a candidate and the Koch criminals funding theirs is that Soros basically works against his interests by funding liberal candidates. He has nothing to gain, and is in fact in favor of paying higher taxes.

Might I add, he worked for his money, unlike the inheritor criminal Koch brothers who were born on easy street, so he understands there's more to this country than a bunch of criminals and criminal organizations attempting to flout the law in order to make an extra buck.

In the end, George Soros is a good man. The Koch brothers on the other hand are corrupt, with the worst possible intentions for the majority American public.

Here's the article: http://kochwatch.org/index.php?q=node/1767

Occupy Wall Street represent the true voice of the people

2011-10-15T08:08:00.000-07:00

The Tea Party stands for the corporations and serve the interest of the Koch Brothers. They are the people who helped Bush create the recession.

The Occupy Wall Street Protesters represent the true voice of the people.

The Occupy Wall Street Movement is the valid response to the Tea Party fanatics

2011-10-06T21:39:00.000-07:00

The Occupy Wall Street movement will end up being bigger than the Tea Party, and I think the only reason it hasn't really happened sooner is that Obama distracted attention and was able to keep feeding Wall Street and doing everything the Fed wants for a couple years before the Left as a whole started taking a closer look at it.

This movement has more to say to the youth of this country than the Tea Party and to intelligent people. It could grow into something like a mature civil revolution against the financial industry as a whole. I would also like to see the revolution end the war on drugs, the wars in the Middle-East, stop Gender Imperialism and the military/prison industrial complex in general, but that's not necessarily what this is all about.

People do not want to return to the Bush years of war, torture, unemployment and fear. People support President Obama and we stand with him against the Wall Street corporations, Republicans and their Tea Party cronies.

Should people even be allowed to become "rich"?

2011-10-02T14:00:00.001-07:00

We all see the problems that are created when a small segment of the population controls all the wealth and affect how how others live. On a more simple level, it simply isn't fair that 1% of the population pays little or no taxes while everyone else most of the taxes and lives with less.

The transgender message of Star Trek: The Motion Picture

2011-10-01T18:15:00.000-07:00

The female joins the male to become something new in Star Trek: The Motion Picture

I recently watched the 1979 film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture for the first time and I was amazed by the pro-transgender theme of the film. At the film's climax, a male and a female, are joined together to form a new life form and have both male and female characteristics. The film also take a pro-Evolution and pro-science stance and I must say that I am very impressed that Hollywood was doing to do this. You can watch it happen here:

Instead of trying to defeat President Obama Republicans should learn to work with him

2011-09-18T17:28:00.000-07:00

Republicans are not going to able to defeat President Obama in 2012. The Republicans do not have a viable moderate candidate and intelligent voters are not going to support religious fanatics or simpletons like Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry or Sarah Palin.

Americans continue to support President Obama and trust him with the economy. They do not like or trust Republicans.

Instead of wasting their time trying to unseat President Obama in 2012 they should try to work with him and understand what needs to be done to fix the problems created by Bush.

Thank you President Obama for increasing taxes on the rich

2011-09-18T17:26:00.001-07:00

The rich have to pay their fair share.

Sorry Republicans but people trust President Obama, not you when it comes to the economy

2011-09-14T19:27:00.001-07:00

CNN Poll: More Americans trust Obama on economy over Republicans in Congress

The survey released on Wednesday shows that although a lot of Americans are still unsure what’s in the president’s new jobs bill, they like most of the major proposals offered in the plan that was sent to Congress Monday.

“By a 43-35 percent margin, a plurality of Americans approve of the economic program Obama outlined in his speech to Congress last week, but more than one in five don’t have any view at all of the jobs bill,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

I don't mind sexual discussion. We need more of it in the United States and I want Conservatives to explore their sexuality instead of suppressing it. Thank you.

What is tragic is not what happened on 9/11 but afterwards

2011-09-11T08:45:00.000-07:00

This is what 9/11 gave us.

We don't know for sure what happened on September 11, 2001. Were they plane crashes? Pilot error or a tragic mechanical failure? Was it a plot by the Bush Regime or some other power to push an agenda upon us? Some say it was an act of terrorism.

What we do know is that the Bush Regime took advantage of the events of 9/11 and used them to seize more power, to torture, to remove freedoms and to start and wage wars.

Bush started wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq. People were tortured. We lost our privacy when making a phone call. Stem cell research was banned. The science of climate change was denied and bans on gay marriage were enacted.

The years 2001 through 2008 were terrible ones. I remember once on a flight from Oakland, California to Canada, you could feel the tension, stress and fear. Once the pilot announced that we had left U.S. airspace and that we were now in Canada, there was a sigh of relief among the passengers and crew. We were safe from Bush at that moment.

We are all thankful for President Obama for he is making the world a better and safer place.

President Obama will outsmart Republicans with his jobs speech

2011-09-07T22:48:00.001-07:00

Republicans are losing and they know it.

We love you, President Obama

2011-09-02T23:23:00.000-07:00

Please don't get discourage. Please don't fall into despair. You are a smart person and you are doing what is right. Please don't give up.

We voted for you because we wanted change. We still do.

One reason why Conservatives are incapable of understanding the world

2011-08-23T17:41:00.000-07:00

Only reason is needed. One is that they don't believe in science or the scientific method.

Why I love President Obama and Big Government

2011-08-19T16:57:00.001-07:00

Dear Big Government,

I absolutely love you, and I am proud of it!

I'm proud that my Big Government (you) spent your Big Money on the time and research required to create the infrastructure for the series of tubes I'm currently typing and communicating over. Thank you.

I am also proud that my Big Government (you) spent money on buses and trains that I use to travel. Thank you for the roads, the bridges, and the tunnels provided for me to get there. Thank you so much Big Government.

While I'm at it, I would also like to thank you (Big Government) for the following things:

- I thank Big Government for the relatively clean air I breathe every day... and the clean water I use to shower, brush my teeth, wash my hands.

- I thank Big Government for the protection it provides so that I can live in a place that is starting to transform into a progressive society.

- I thank Big Government for providing me with health care, housing and social services and providing us with help should we desperately need it.

- Oh, and also, a Big thank you to Big Government for all the good you've done for your citizens over the years providing money for education and science.

Thank you for all this and more, Big Government. I love you as you are now, and would absolutely love you all the more were you to run even more efficiently than you already do.

Lastly, I should add that I am thankful I do not live in a small government, inefficient, struggling nation. I am thankful.

Sincerely,

Lara

Why are Conservatives so hateful? So intolerant?

2011-08-16T18:31:00.001-07:00

Why?

A global ban on guns?

2011-07-24T12:52:00.000-07:00

With the latest horrific example of gun violence in Norway is it not time to consider a global ban on all guns?

The United Nations has a global mission and right to protect people, human rights and to end conflict. I think it is time for the UN to start working on a plan that would ban guns in every nation in the world. This would fulfill the UN mission.

Deadly attack today in Oslo, Norway likely the work of right-wing extremists

2011-07-22T16:18:00.000-07:00

Today's terrible events in Norway are a grim reminder that right-wing extremism is still a deadly threat to progressive people everywhere.

Norway represents everything that Neo-Nazis and other Conservatives hate: It is a progressive and peaceful nation that respects diversity and the environment. Norway provides health care for its citizens and has invested in green energy. Norway respects and protects gay rights and free-thinkers.

Norway is the home of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to both President Obama and President Gore. So this appears to be a calculated political attack from the right.

We live in a world of progress now especially with President Obama transforming the United States to the point where it can be an equal and a friend to a place like Norway.

Diversity, Tolerance and Peace are basic human rights and we must never allow the extremists to take them away from us.

On this day, celebrate Diversity

Gwyneth Paltrow: What's Wrong With Homosexuality?

2011-06-14T17:27:00.000-07:00

Thank you, Gwyneth!

'Two mommies? How lucky is she?!'

"A few months ago, in the heat of the tragic teen suicides that came about from intolerance of homosexuality, I saw a man on television who was apologizing for wishing death on gays from his Facebook page," the 38-year-old actress wrote. "This member of an Arkansas school board was contrite for the violence in his words, but maintained that his values pertaining to homosexuality would remain, as he felt homosexuality was condemned in the bible.""This concept, while foreign to me, is interesting, as it used to justify so much judgment and separation in our society," the Oscar winner (and mother to Apple, 7, andMoses, 5) pointed out. "When my daughter came home from school one day saying that a classmate had two mommies, my response was, 'Two mommies? How lucky is she?!'"Paltrow -- a strong believer in marriage equality -- concluded the post by questioning whether the Bible explicitly condemns homosexuality. "What does it actually say in the Bible that will cause some people to be upset by my line of thinking?" she asked.

Gwyneth Paltrow is smart, sexy and a free-thinker. We love you! You can read the whole item here!

Anthony Weiner did not nothing wrong. Don't let Republicans distract you from the facts.

2011-06-06T22:45:00.000-07:00

Celebrate Diversity. Don't Oppress it.

Anthony Weiner is guilty of nothing. Don't let Republicans and Fox News create an issue out of nothing. Don't let them scorn and deny natural and healthy behavior. Sex, sexual expression and sexuality itself is natural, fun and nothing to be ashamed of or critical of.

Conservatives by their nature are repressive and try to oppress others with religion and their version of "morality". They are hypocrites.

As millions of people around the world to celebrate Gay Pride this month we should stand with Anthony Weiner and defend our natural right to be sexual beings.

America's shame: Killing someone is nothing to cheer about or celebrate

2011-05-04T00:12:00.000-07:00

The death of Osama bin Laden has revealed an ugly side of America that many of us had hoped disappeared with the end of the Bush Regime. But during the past couple of days, there has been a rather disgusting and very disturbing CELEBRATION over the violent and needless death of Osama bin Laden.

Bush lied and people died. Millions of people said those words during the Bush Regime years and Osama bin Laden appears to be the latest victim of the American military complex still running amok in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world.

If Osama bin Laden was guilty of a crime,he should have been charged with a crime and brought to a trial. He deserved legal representation and an opportunity to defend himself against the charges thrown against him by the Bush Regime.

I hope President Obama will rectify this matter. Violence is NEVER the answer.

2011 has been a terrible year of Climate Change so far

Evan Rachel Wood: "I'm into anything,"

2011-04-18T16:43:00.000-07:00

Love her attitude!

Evan Rachel Wood isn't necessarily looking for the man of her dreams.

The Mildred Pierce star, 23, would be just as happy if the right woman came along.

"I'm into anything," Wood tellsEsquire magazine in its May issue. "Meet a nice guy, meet a nice girl..."

In the public eye, she's only dated men, but Wood – who was briefly engaged to shock-rocker Marilyn Manson – has experience with the same sex, as well.

Asked if she dates women, she answers bluntly, "Yes." As for what she's like in a same-sex relationship, Wood says, "I'm more kind of like the guy when it comes to [dating] girls. I'm the dominant one … I'm opening the doors. I'm buying dinner. Yeah, I'm romantic."

5,000 year old gay cave person found

2011-04-07T19:37:00.000-07:00

Five thousand years after he died, the first known gay caveman has emerged into the daylight.

According to archaeologists, the way he was buried suggests that he was of a different sexual persuasion.

The skeleton of the late Stone Age man, unearthed during excavations in the Czech Republic, is said to date back to between 2900 and 2500 BC.

During that period, men were traditionally buried lying on their right side with the head pointing towards the west; women on their left side with the head facing east.

In this case, the man was on his left side with his head facing west. Another clue is that men tended to be interred with weapons, hammers and flint knives as well as several portions of food and drink to accompany them to the other side.

Women would be buried with necklaces made from teeth, pets, and copper earrings, as well as domestic jugs and an egg-shaped pot placed near the feet.

Archaeologists do not think it was a mistake or coincidence given the importance attached to funerals during the period, known as the Corded Ware era because of the pottery it produced.

From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake,’ said lead researcher Kamila Remisova Vesinova.

‘Far more likely is that he was a man with a different sexual orientation, homosexual or transvestite. What we see here does not add up to traditional Corded Ware cultural norms.’

Four More Years With President Obama Please!

2011-04-04T18:14:00.000-07:00

President Obama will win in 2012 because free-thinking and smart Americans support change and progress. We don't want to return to the Bush years of war, economic chaos, greed and corporate interests over the people. Republicans want to cut funding for health care, social programs, NPR and PBS.

Let's keep making America more diverse, tolerant and smart.

Please help President Obama win again in 2012!

Japan is the latest example of the growing danger of Climate Change

2011-03-11T18:03:00.000-08:00

Climate Change is here.

The Earth is a living thing and if you abuse a living thing long enough it will lash out in pain. That is what happened to Japan today.

After seeing the horror of what has happened today how can anyone, even the conservatives, deny the reality of Climate Change?

But conservatives are Climate Change deniers. They tend to think there is no harm to the Earth when they drive their SUV's or that oil drilling is not dangerous. The Earth is a fragile living being that deserves respect and we are guests on it. But too many people act like they own the land that that it can be abused anyway they sit fit.

I do not doubt that what happened to Japan has direct links to the abusive behavior of oil drilling and pollution. We saw what happened to Gulf of Mexico when Bush's oil friends at BP continues to rape the Earth there with no regard to the consequences.

The Earth is crying out for help. It is asking for drilling and for the pollution to stop. President Obama, please help.

A Year Later: No 'Avatar' at the Oscars and the gender myth is scorned

Gender is nothing. DIVERSITY IS EVERYTHING!

Thank you!

A Deadly Combination: Gun violence and Tea Party Extremism

2011-01-10T16:17:00.000-08:00

The events of this past Saturday are tragic ones. They scare me and and all free-thinking people. They are glaring because we thought we had moved pass the era of violence by electing President Obama in 2008. We as a people, wanted to move away from war, torture, greed, environmental disregard and ignorance.

But since 2008 extremists has been opposing progress in the form of the "Tea Party". And on Saturday someone decided to use violence to silence progress.

Because of targets on a map, people are dead. This cannot be allowed to happen again.

We cannot allow the sale of guns to any individual. Gun have only one purpose: To hurt or kill people. That is wrong and illegal and the sale of guns should be illegal.

We must defend and promote tolerance and diversity. Young people must grow up understanding that people come in all colors and types. That is natural and normal and it should be celebrated, not feared. We must say no to nationalism, war and hate and embrace diversity and tolerance.

Looking forward to another year of progress in 2011

2010-12-31T09:23:00.000-08:00

Things to look forward to in 2011:

End of the ban on gay marriage on all 50 states.

Removal of all U.S. military troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.

Closing the of the Guantánamo Bay prison camp.

Bush, Cheney, Rove on trial for war crimes.

A ban on all oil drilling.

More wind and solar farms.

More funding for education.

Thank you President Obama. We love you!

A Happy Holiday For All

2010-12-24T12:10:00.000-08:00

I hope the coming days bring you peace, tolerance and joy.

Let's hope that we continue the progress in 2011.

Thank you, President Obama for providing health care and making it legal and available for all. Thank you ending the anti-gay policies of the U.S. military.

We love you.

Gays in the military will bring positive reform and eventually peace

2010-12-18T12:37:00.000-08:00

In a world that has grown more progressive and free-thinking, the U.S. military is like a dinosaur trapped in long ago place that the world has moved beyond. President Obama is doing what he can to modernize the U.S. and to make it progressive but there is still much to be done. Violence is never the answer. War is never the answer. Progressive change will make the military realize this.

The U.S. military is overwhelmingly "straight", poor and few educated members. There are also many Christians in the U.S. military which makes it out of step with mainstream and progressive views. This must change.

By allowing gays in the military we uplift the people in the military and hopefully educate them and free their minds. Instead of a military that invades other lands, the U.S. can have a force for peace.

TRON: No gay relationships here either?

2010-12-17T01:26:00.000-08:00

Here we go again

After the uproar created by Avatar when they promoted interspecies heterosexuality you would think that maybe Hollywood would get the message.

Evidently not.

So Quorra has to be a female and attracted to the male. Same old, same old.

Russia says Julian Assange should get the Nobel peace prize!

2010-12-09T23:29:00.000-08:00

And we agree!

From the UK Guardian:

Russia has suggested that Julian Assange should be awarded the Nobel peace prize, in an unexpected show of support from Moscow for the jailed WikiLeaks founder.

In what appears to be a calculated dig at the US, the Kremlin urged non-governmental organisations to think seriously about "nominating Assange as a Nobel Prize laureate".

"Public and non-governmental organisations should think of how to help him," the source from inside president Dmitry Medvedev's office told Russian news agencies. Speaking in Brussels, where Medvedev was attending a Russia-EU summit yesterday , the source went on: "Maybe, nominate him as a Nobel Prize laureate."

Russia's reflexively suspicious leadership appears to have come round to WikiLeaks, having decided that the ongoing torrent of disclosures are ultimately far more damaging and disastrous to America's long-term geopolitical interests than they are to Russia's.

Time to organize a global defense of Julian Assange

2010-12-08T15:26:00.000-08:00

Julian needs our help. Details coming up soon! Please share any ideas you have to help Julian. Please visit us at http://defendjulian.blogspot.com

Bradley Manning IS a hero. Thank you, Berkeley!

2010-12-08T13:19:00.000-08:00

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- The Berkeley City Council will consider a resolution that would declare the Army private suspected of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks a hero and call for his release.

The council plans a vote Tuesday on the resolution in support of Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is being held in a military brig in Virginia. A city commission already has approved it.

Bob Meola, who authored the resolution, tells the San Francisco Chronicle that Manning is a patriot who deserves a medal.

Federal officials have criticized the leaks, saying they could endanger lives.

Leaders of the famously left-leaning city have weighed in on controversial national issues before, including votes to advise that a Marine recruitment office wasn't welcome downtown and to force local compliance with United Nations human rights treaties.

A Nobel Peace prize for Julian Assange? Why not?

2010-11-30T16:04:00.001-08:00

A free thinker and a hero

Julian Assange has done the world a great service by making available facts and information on United States policy. This free-thinker and progressive individual deserves our praise and support and he should be rewarded for his efforts.

Secrets between friends is not good. They can create mistrust and fear. The same is true with nations. In order for there to be good relationships based on mutual trust and respect, there must be honesty.

I do not understand the negative reaction by some to what Julian Assange has done. But that negative reaction is coming from the same people who tend to oppose progress and President Obama. We know what those people tend to want: war, greed, profit at the expense of others, bans on science and so on.

We also ask that Bradley Manning be released and hope that President Obama will help.

The world is moving forward and it is time for the United States to do the same.

I am sorry my blog was down for a couple of weeks. I am back!

2010-11-30T15:46:00.000-08:00

I am sorry that my blogs were down for the past couple of weeks. I hope this did not cause any inconvenience for anyone.

I do not know what happened. I had thought that some right-wingers had shut down the blog but Google alerted me that there was "suspicious activity" on my account from China of all places. I do not know what happened for sure. The important thing is that we are together again. I missed you all and I do not want you to worry about me.

Love,

Lara

I want to be touched and groped at the airport

2010-11-15T13:21:00.000-08:00

Make plans for a trip and be intimately touched by a stranger? Sounds sexy to me. I've been amused by the reporting in the media by people complaining about being "groped" by security at the airport. While I know the so-called "terrorist threat" is an overblown fiction leftover from the Bush Regime there is something very enticing about knowing that someones hands will be running over my body. My breasts, my ass, my legs and my special area. To me, this a wonderful way to get Americans over their hang-ups over sexuality. Even better, these searches are "same sex" so even the worst of the homophobes and anti-Evolutionists will get the special treatment.

Not so fast! The Republicans didn't win anything on November 2nd

2010-11-03T17:17:00.000-07:00

People came out to support President Obama and change

It has been a very strange 24 hours. I've been seeing lots of news stories about how the Republicans "won" the mid-term elections. And there have been stranger claims that voters "rejected" President Obama and his policies.

Now its not just Fox News saying but actual media like newspapers and MSNBC and NPR. I'm not sure what is going on here but let's go over the facts:

A) The Democrats still control the Senate so they didn't lose anything there. Barbara Boxer won the election. So did Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank and Charlie Rangel, These are all famous and important and popular Democrats who have supported President Obama all the way.

B) Americans rejected Tea Party extremists like Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell so I don't see what they won.

C) President Obama is still president. He will win reelection and Obama will be president for many years to come. He won't let Republicans take away our health care rights and drill for oil and destroy our planet.

So please don't be worried.

Please support President Obama and vote Democrat today

2010-11-02T12:37:00.000-07:00

People want progress and we don't want to regress.

Republicans want to take away health care and support insurance companies and big oil. Republicans oppose Evolution and want to impose religious "values" on people. Republicans oppose green energy and will cut funding for education.

I expect Democrats will hold their majority on Congress

2010-11-01T12:41:00.001-07:00

I really don't see why people would want to go back to the Bush years of greed and war and unemployment.

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-31T11:07:00.000-07:00

Dare to be different today!

The wonderful sexual ambiguity of Tim Lincecum

2010-10-24T14:52:00.000-07:00

A boy? A girl? A femboy? Transgender? Something else?

As a person who lives in the Bay Area it has been fun to watch Tim Lincecum. I do not care for American sports but seeing the slender and young Tim play has been fun. With with his sexually suggestive name and limber body the imagine is stirred. And the beauty of Tim is you have to guess to who he is. Is Tim a long-haired femboy? Is Tim a girl? A young boy? Is Tim trans?

Just a few years ago Tim would not have been allowed to play in American professional sports and it is an encouraging sign of progress Americans are able to watch him play.

Either way, Tim can pitch to me any time!

When you make love to someone, pretend that someone is Barrack Obama

2010-10-20T17:18:00.000-07:00

This will create a positive vibe and energy and it will encourage more people to vote for President Obama and his agenda of progressive change. People want to feel good and President Obama can do this for everyone. People want to be sexy and free, not sexually oppressed. Let's not go back to the Bush years please.

Thank you.

Reasons why Barack Obama is America's greatest President

2010-10-13T23:07:00.000-07:00

We live in exciting times of change and progress because of President Barack Obama. For the first time in American history there is a president in Washington DC who is intelligent, diverse, progressive and who understands that we live in a global community. President Obama is proud of his diverse background and it is that background of living in other places besides the United States that enables him to have a better understanding of the world than what many Americans have.

President Obama got rid of the Bush Regime and ended policies of war and discrimination. He was brought back science and has provided health care and financial reform. He ended the Bush recession and America is investing in green jobs and energy. This is remarkable and we're not even two years into his presidency yet!

Let's compare President Obama to the less than admirable records of recent U.S. presidents:

Bush II: Started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and allowed corporations to make obscene profits while doing nothing to help the environment.

Bush I: Started the war for oil in Iraq

Reagan: Nearly started a nuclear war before he was stopped by Mikhail Gorbachev.

Nixon: Corruption and bombed Cambodia.

Tyler Clementi: A victim of American intolerance and sexual oppression

2010-09-30T18:13:00.001-07:00

The story of Tyler Clementi is a sad one. This beautiful young gay person did not feel free to be gay in America. Tyler had to hide his sexuality. He was afraid to be gay in public because even today in the age of Obama there are still Conservative elements of intolerant hate that want to deny sexuality and impose a heterosexual mindset on a world that is increasingly becoming more gay and sexually diverse.

Tyler's sexuality should have been public and it should have been celebrated and encourage. I wrote here recently about the need to have sexual diversity in college and having straight people being paired up with gay roommates. Let's not let Tyler's tragic death be in vain. We can best remember Tyler by celebrating his life and making sure young people everywhere have the chance to be gay and not live in fear.

Sexual frustration and confusion in America’s locker rooms

2010-09-14T23:45:00.000-07:00

Ines Sainz: Used by gay athletes to keep their jobs

As discussed here before, gay Americans in sports are under a great deal of pressure to hide to their sexuality. It's likely that 50 to 75% of American athletes are gay or want to explore other men sexually. But out of fear of homophobia and corporate pressures backed by Republican interests, these oppressed gays are not free to be themselves.

Look what happened to Ines Sainz who suffered from obligatory sexual harassment of straight kind when she entered the New York Jets locker room. This incident reveals the painful pressure gay athletes are under to appear straight out of fear losing their jobs.

Set them free and let them run free.

Great words from a great President

2010-09-14T23:06:00.000-07:00

"If you take away one thing from my speech, I want you to take away the notion that life is precious, and part of what makes it so wonderful is its diversity, that all of us are different," Obama said. "And we shouldn't be embarrassed by the things that make us different. We should be proud of them." - President Obama

From The Detroit News: http://www.detnews.com/article/20100915/SCHOOLS/9150351/1022/Take-pride-in-diversity--Obama-tells-students-in-Metro-area--across-U.S.#ixzz0zZkQsrQh

9/11 - An accident and misunderstanding. We must emphasize tolerance and diversity on this day

2010-09-11T18:56:00.000-07:00

As for as we know what happened on 9/11/01 was a tragic accident or mistake. At worst it was a misunderstanding NOT an excuse or reason to start a conflict. We know what the Bush Regime did and look what happened. Thanks to President Obama, America is turning away from war and is looking for ways to understand the world and a peaceful partner in the global community.

Straight college students should be paired up with gay roommates

2010-08-23T20:12:00.000-07:00

Expand your mind and discover who you can be in college

The purpose of higher learning is not only to educate but to broaden one's horizon, to challenge their past assumptions and to make sure they appreciate and understand diversity. What better way to do this than to have someone who considers himself or herself to be "straight" to live with a person of diversity such a gay person?

Much has been made about racial quotas which I do support and they do not go far enough. But we need to start talking about sexual and diversity quotas as well. They best way to combat bigotry and narrow-mindedness to make people deal with their prejudices. If someone enters college never having known a gay or transgender person or never having any kind of relationship with one and leaves college that way then the college has failed. That's how we end up with people who think Sarah Palin is a political leader. That's how Bush got into the White House and that's how we got guns, bombs and wars. Should we not do what we can to create a better world?

Gender Imperialism is defeated in California. Gay marriage is a human right.

2010-08-06T00:17:00.000-07:00

Tolerance and diversity are human rights and this was affirmed this week by Judge Vaughn R. Walker who correctly determined that a minority of religious fanatics and conservative fascists do not have the right to impose their views on others or deny rights to people.

As noted here before, it is wrong assume or say that there are specific genders, differences between those genders or to assign genders to people. A gender-free society that allows all individuals to explore who they are and to decide who they are must be our common goal.

President Obama needs our help

2010-07-29T22:18:00.001-07:00

Let's do what we can to support President Obama as he changes America into something positive. Be positive and send him your love.

It is wrong to assign a "gender" to a child especially at birth

2010-07-16T17:13:00.001-07:00

When I first appeared on the world the hospital staff decided to declare me as being a "boy", that is, a "male".

This was not my choice nor was I allowed a chance to decide what I wanted to be. Long before I had a chance to explore myself I was assigned a gender and forced to live up to all its stereotypes and burdens.

This went on for 12 years. I had always known that I was different and special and I could always feel that there was something within me, yearning to come out and spread its wings. One day during my twelfth year I encountered a special person who freed me. From that day forward, I learned how to fly and to discover my true self. I've been flying ever since and like the butterfly, I want to visit all the flowers and encourage them to bloom.

This is what we all deserve.

Don't celebrate America on July 4th. Celebrate the diversity of world

2010-07-04T12:07:00.000-07:00

American nationalism only creates wars, death and economic and environmental destruction. Intelligent free-thinking people understand this and you will not find them today blowing things up, making loud noises or smoke. You will not see them displaying the American flag. Instead they will be thinking and doing things that make the world a better place by recyling, eating organic foods or by reading. They will be supporting President Obama and helping him transform America into a progressive place that respects the diversity of world and help Americans beome productive citizens of the world.

Every month should be Gay Pride Month

2010-06-30T19:22:00.001-07:00

The month of June which is best known as Gay Pride Month is coming to a close. But we should celebrate diversity every month!

Studies continue to show that children of gay parents are happier and smarter

2010-06-29T18:02:00.000-07:00

This is perhaps the best evidence that being gay, lesbian, transgender or genderless is a healthier and more affirmative way of living. As people continue to evolve, this will become less of an issue as progressive people abandon the highly destructive behavior we see so much with forced heterosexuality situations.

The time to ban all oil drilling is now

2010-06-29T17:47:00.000-07:00

The Earth has been abused and battered and drilled. The Earth has been under attack from oil corporations and all corporation and irresponsible people who are only interested in making money at the expense of the environment. The time to stop this assault and to start the healing and enjoy sustainable living is NOW.

Everyone knows that oil can be replaced by clean energy. There is no reason to have cars powered by gas or any fossil fuel. We ask President Obama to shut down all oil drilling and to ban the use of any and all substances and processes that pollute and contribute to climate change.

We miss you, Michael

2010-06-26T10:19:00.000-07:00

We will always love you

More hetrosexual myths and propaganda in 'Toy Story 3'

2010-06-19T09:47:00.000-07:00

Straight toys?

After nearly two years into the Obama era you would think we would start seeing more progress in American society with regard to social-sexual diversity and tolerance. But certain resistant elements of American society to continue to resist embracing change and still promote the old myths and lies about "gender" and the "normalcy" of "male" and "female" attraction.

In the latest 'Toy Story' film from Pixar there is a very intentional plot line involving an attraction and romance between Barbie and Ken which is a gross American fictional stereotype of "boy / girl" relations. This is a total affront to progressive peoples and does a grave disservice to children who don't deserve to be brainwashed.

The successful boycott of Avatar proves that people want diversity. Hollywood needs to listen.

The Oil Spill is a direct result of the Bush Regime and its war on the environment

2010-06-16T18:14:00.000-07:00

Thousands of oil rigs were built during the Bush Regime years. The years between 2000 and 2009 were dark ones for the Earth as the Bush Regime violated the environment and started wars for oil. As a result, the Earth today is weaker than ever before and we are all feeling the negative effects of Climate Change. Had Al Gore been allowed to become President in 2001, the oil spill would never have happened as the U.S. would have switched to clean energy years ago.

The very disappointing end of ABC's 'Lost'

2010-05-24T16:58:00.000-07:00

I'm glad LOST is over now because the series has become such a big disappointment for so many people. The lack of diversity with the characters, the constant promotion of heterosexual themes and the alarming references to Christianity (which violates Church and States laws) made LOST an increasingly difficult program to view. LOST become a failed relic of the Bush Regime years when intolerance and the war against science took precedence.

Perhaps the most creepy part of the downfall of LOST was seeing Dr. Jack Shepard turn away from being a rational person of science into a quasi-religious fanatic, a "person of faith".

You can't have promotion of religion in a public forum such as a TV broadcast. The U.S. government provides provides digital broadcasts of programming including LOST so it is totally inappropriate and unlegal for this show to show things like a cross or a church that is imposing a religious view on those who do not want to see it.

A TV broadcast is a public forum. Millions of people who watched LOST night were exposed to crosses and a church, which is a form of indoctrination and intimidation. The show ended with a person named CHRISTIAN making references to FAITH which is another religious code word for subjugation. There was no inherent need to show a church or to make references to one. It was sad to see LOST do this.

President Obama appoints first transgender person to the Supreme Court

2010-05-12T17:54:00.001-07:00

We thank you for promoting diversity and progress, President Obama!

Mexicans have every right to be in the United States

2010-05-08T16:15:00.001-07:00

The southwestern U.S. states are stolen land and belong to Mexico. In 1848 the United States stole a million square miles from Mexico in order to expand slavery, environmental rape and for corporate greed. We ask President Obama to consider returning these lands including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to Mexico.

'Splice' offers an exciting vison of humanity's sexual future

2010-05-01T12:30:00.000-07:00

Our transgender future?

As humans continue to Evolve to towards their transgender destiny more questions are asked. What will we look like? How will sex be like in the future? How will the human mind change along with our bodies?

A new film called 'Splice' that is being released on June 4 might answer some of these questions. The centers on a gender-neutral creature that attracts the interest of the 'males' and 'females' and creates sexual confusion and a sexual awakening for both the characters and the audience. I am looking forward to see how this film will shatter old sexual and gender myths and I hope it will encourage people to explore their true sexual potential.

A Song of Me

2010-05-01T12:09:00.000-07:00

Who is that girl in the mirror looking at me?
Who is that boy in the mirror looking at me?
That boy and girl is me.
This I know, this I feel, this I see
I want the whole world to see the person that is me

Unrealistic heterosexual themes continue in Clash of the Titans

2010-04-03T19:04:00.000-07:00

You would think and hope that after Avatar the film community in Hollywood would realize that people are tired of heterosexual themed films and of the heterosexual agenda. People want change. They want diversity. They want to see characters and films that reflect and celebrate their lives.

Homophobia?

But instead we get more of the same with Clash of the Titans. And guess who is in this film. Sam Worthington, the same person who played straight Jake in the offensive Avatar film. In Titans, he plays Perseus who is inexplicitly portrayed as a straight character.

Fidel Castro praises President Obama for bringing health care to America

2010-03-25T11:06:00.000-07:00

Let's hope it will be as good as Cuba's someday:

From the AP -

"Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago."

Well said President Castro!

Obama does it! Health Care is now legal in America and available to all

2010-03-22T18:28:00.000-07:00

People who voted for change and progress in 2008 won a major victory yesterday with the passage of the health care reform bill. The NeoCons and FOX News tried to stop progress but people want change and they want health care. Thanks to President Obama, all peoples in the United States regardless of their age, sexual, gender, health or citizenship status will have access to health care. Health care is a basic human right and cannot be denied to anyone by anyone.

I wish President Obama was around years ago when I needed my health care to begin my transformation. It took me years to save enough money to pay insurance companies for my breast implants. But millions of people who want to become the butterflies they are meant to be will get their chance. Thank you, President Obama. We love you!

Why are there no alternative gay lives on LOST this season?

2010-03-13T11:59:00.000-08:00

During the current season of ABC's LOST, we are seeing several characters living alternative lives off the island. Why are these characters heterosexual both on and off the island? For example, John Locke is married to a woman. Why? Jack was married to a woman and had a son with a woman. Why? Sayid is attracted to a woman. Why?

Why did it not occur to the writers create truly alternative and realistic lives for John, Jack, Sayid and others off the island?

Dare to be different this year

The Sexual Conflicts of American Football and other Sports

The United States is the most sexually repressed nation on Earth today. It has gone out of its way to ban gay marriage, deny the teaching of Evolution and it fails to understand or celebrate sexual diversity or rights. American films and television rarely show gay, lesbian or transgender characters.

This repression of sexuality manifests itself in strange ways in American society. The American military shows its soldiers pornagraphic films before they are sent off to kill. American civilians watch sports that are disguised as celebrations of heterosexuality.

Players in American sports dress and undress with each other in hot, steamy locker rooms and shower together in the nude. Are we really supposed to believe that these players never play with each other? Sometimes we see them at real play as indicated in the photos above.

Bizarrely, the corporations that own sports teams sometimes have cheerleaders (usually female) jumping up and down on the edge of the playing field as if to distract us from the real sexuality occuring on and off the field. It is curious that these corporations forbid their players from dating the cheerleaders. Is that because the owners know that they really need sexual release among themselves?
