It's not
about being liberal or conservative anymore y'all. That is a hype offered by the fascist whores who want to confuse the people with lies while they turn this country into an aristocratic police state. Some people will say anything to attain power and money. There is no such thing as the Liberal Media, but the Corporate media is very real.
This is the 5th dimension released in 1970. One year after I was born.
When I was in 6th grade, my history teacher had his class memorize and sing this song to a record
that he would play in his classroom and have us all stand and sing. Every single student. We would
all stand up at the end of almost every single day in the 2nd semester next to each other singing
this song. All of us still live to this day with this memorized in our head as a result.
Thank you Mr. Chapman.

I love Bernie Sanders.
I love Bernie Sanders.
I love Bernie Sanders.
Gee, I wonder why Bernie is hovering at 80% approval rating among Democrats ... and you guys are
hovering in the bushes.

Hypocritical
Rule number one: Rethuglicans always accuse the perceived opposition party of the things they do
themselves.
Rule number two: Rethuglicans make insignificant issues appear heinous and immortal when they
themselves do so many things at far worse a degree than the entire sum of all collective petty
bullshit they accuse the perceived opposition party of doing.
For instance, (although I am not a fan of Bill Clinton) the Rethuglicans actually wanted to impeach
Bill Clintion in 1998-99 because he lied about a blow-job.
I suppose it's different when the Rethuglicans are lying about a war, or lying about a policy that
will hurt the vast majority of American citizens, or lying about their deep involvement with foreign
oligarchs. Now I say this but there were (and are) a lot of DINO's out there (Democrats In Name
Only) who pretend to be an opposition party and saddle up with the Wealthy Donors, uttering a lot
of golly-gee's and pleas for
bi-partisanship.
Look, if one group is pack of pathetic un-patriotic liars, bi-partisanship is bullshit.
When the principles and freedoms of our nation and constitution are at stake, what the corporate
press calls
bi-partisanship is just more compliance ad nauseum.
Those Hillary emails were just soooooo scurrilous, don't you see. Mike Pence's emails however --
not so much. Funny, Hillary
seems to not have actually broken any laws, despite the hyperbolic hysteria of the Rethuglican
talking points. Whereas that cannot be said about Donald Trump or Mike Pence.
Will it be President Ryan in the not so distant future?

Reverend William Barber
This is speech by Revered William Barber, a minister heavily involved in the push back against the
anti-democratic actions of North Carolina Rethuglicans.
In the voting rights case, a unanimous panel of the 4th Circuit on July 29 agreed with allegations
from the Justice Department and civil rights groups that North Carolina's bill selectively chose
voter-ID requirements, reduced the number of early-voting days and changed registration procedures
in ways meant to harm African Americans, who overwhelmingly vote for the Democratic Party. "The new
provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision" and "impose cures for problems
that did not exist," Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the panel. "Thus the asserted justifications
cannot and do not conceal the state's true motivation."
But rest assure, these vultures will never give up. They cannot be turned away from the dark side.
Supreme Court chief justice John Roberts made sure this was clear when he wrote:
“Given the blizzard of filings over who is and who is not authorized to seek review in this Court
under North Carolina law, it is important to recall our frequent admonition that ‘[t]he denial of a
writ of certiorari imports no expression of opinion upon the merits of the case,’ ” Roberts wrote.
And North Carolina state Rethuglicans definitely got the message
The state legislature’s top Republicans, House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate leader Phil Berger, said
in a statement that they would enact a new voter-ID law.
“It is unconscionable that Roy Cooper and Josh Stein — who ignored state law and flouted their
conflicts of interest to kill voter ID in North Carolina — have now caused the vast majority of
voters who support voter ID to be denied their day in court,” Moore and Berger said in a statement.
“In light of Chief Justice Roberts’ statement that the ruling was not based on the merits of voter
ID, all North Carolinians can rest assured that Republican legislators will continue fighting to
protect the integrity of our elections by implementing the commonsense requirement to show a photo
ID when we vote.”

Oh such false self-righteous infamy. It is apparently "unconscionable" to detest voter suppression.
Those who
do "ignored state law and" flout "conflicts of interest to kill" voter suppression disguised as
Voter ID laws, despite "the vast majority of voters who support voter ID" because they are
brainwashed about the myth of voter registration fraud; a fraud that is so rare, less than 100
allegations were
found to be even pursued in all 50 states by a New York
Times investigation back
in December. And here is the Washington Post about 9 thorough investigations of voter fraud that found
virtually nothing.
In Kansas, the Republican secretary of state examined 84 million votes cast in 22 states to look
for cases of duplicate registration. The project yielded 14 prosecutions, representing 0.000017
percent of the votes cast.
In 2011, Wisconsin authorities charged 20 people with fraudulent voting in the 2008 elections.
Most of these were felons who were ineligible to vote.

You wanna strip voting rights for upwards of 10,000 people because of 30 votes you think might have
been fraudulent? Puh'lease.
It goes without saying that the number of allegations local authorities are investigating, in
reality involves a much smaller percentage of cases that are actually
persecuted because most of the time there is either nothing illegal that occurred or these were
felons who didn't realize they were not allowed to vote. People move
and their name is still on the old voting registration in another country or state. Doesn't mean
they actually voted twice. A mother signed her daughter's affadavit because she was outta town for
a week. A small business owner prefers to vote at polls next to his business because it is easier
than where he lives in the suburbs. The votes were legitimate, and no one voted twice. Yet have
them try to explain why they consolidate polling areas in poor districts with large numbers of
Democratic voters so that voting sometimes takes hours and they have to wait in long lines. What's
that have to do with the mythical fear of those miscreant illegal voters?
Don't let common sense stop the Rethuglicans from enacting draconian laws that
will restrict 10,000 times more voters. They are fiends bent on destroying democracy so in order to
fight flies, they want to bulldoze the entire
neighborhood and poison the aquifers.
72.11 down to 68.47 percent Caucasian, with a nearly 4 percent jump in Hispanic population. Hmm.
Click here for a cool
graphic of population distribution throughout the state. The state has 9,535,000 people. Click here for California,
with 37,254,000 people (4 times more than NC). When you look at these maps, the colors represent
different races, explained
here. Red=White, Yellow=Asian, Black=African-American, Blue=2-or-more-Races,
Brown=Native-American.
How does North Carolina compare to California demographically? Funny you should ask.
Look at all that yellowish-orange surrounding the center of San Francisco which is predominantly
Red. And look at those black areas in Oakland-Emeryville splotched up with Red, Orange, and Yellow.
Demographics of California in 2000
White:59.5%
Black:6.68%
Hispanic:32.38%
Asian:10.92%
Demographics of California in 2010
White:57.59%
Black:6.17%
Hispanic:37.62%
Asian:13.05%
I wonder what happens when the percentage of Caucasians in California drops below 50%.
This 11 minute video/audio is fucking awesome. The constituent lays out an iron-clad refutation of
everything the Rethuglican politicians say they stand for and lays bare their hypocrisy as nothing
but greedy
meak refusal to do what's right for the people while working for the donor class, rather than what's
good the country.
Almost all of the Rethuglicans are traitors in my opinion. I will not reconsider this opinion
until they show me a spine rather than "talking points", "hubris", and using various combinations of
sexism, prejudice, and
bigotry as deflections, parading a bunch of liars and charlatans all over the TV and media circuit
planting poison in the minds of citizens who are ignorant and vulnerable.

The average person checks their phone 2600 times per day
Meanwhile ignoring everything else. A
third of Americans check their phones during meals.
Philip Morris just wanted your lungs. The App Store wants your soul.
I have been saying this for quite sometime now. Human obsession with these devices nurtures
self-aggrandizement and narcissism at the expense of other more beneficial social mores -- such as
acknowledging other people with some form of social communication like a nod, a smile, or just
saying "good morning" and "hello".
Humans with earplugs connected to their cell phones now regard
others with skittish looks and uncertainty, internalizing thoughts that are not receiving feedback
from the external realm. A large sub-group of persons are constantly feeding themselves
regular reminders about their world paradigms or sub-cultures and small group cliques.
Community
interactions are breaking down in ways beyond the flight to suburbia and the reliance upon
self-driving vehicles. Sharing a common space during certain times of the day or night is not
recognized by a large group of people as something that instantiates interaction. They
don't feel or understand or even value random interactions with those perceived as strangers, and this
creates an inhibiting influence in such persons that disintegrates the community into spheres of
narcissistic delusion or obfuscation. People begin to not be able to relate to one another because
they are driven by their submersion in their own psychological bubbles.
This is the world we are now entering. A world in which the digital psychopathy starts to define
how people within a community or social group react with one another. Speaking to persons on the
phone is largely from behind a text message, rather than a voice. The use of video exchanges is
increasing, but the use of text messages to communicate and the regarding of our social media sites
for social sustenance is a factor in this disintegration. You now have lines of 11 or more people
waiting somewhere for something (at the post office, the coffee shop, the DMV, the bus stop, or the
concert show)
and no one is interacting with anyone else or even considering doing so as the default position.
Instead the default position is to reach for the device that connects to the social media content
while ignoring the ambient environment of persons who are actually there.
