Freedom to a capitalist means nothing more than the freedom
to make money. To them, the sound The Liberty Bell makes is cha-ching.
We don’t need politicians to speak for us unless we can
first be sure that they have listened to us.
Democrats and Republicans are merely blinders on the
populace intended to limit what it is able to perceive. They restrict our field
of vision in order to point us towards the direction the ones who hold the whip
wish us to go.
Power is freedom. To give power to another--be it a leader
or an institution--in the hopes of preserving your freedom, is folly.
One who hides himself behind a flag, who justifies his
self-serving behavior by calling it patriotic, is called a scoundrel. There is
no word damning enough for one who hides behind soldiers.
Remember that it is the job of our president to put the
interests of his nation first and that any other leader who does such a thing
for his own nation is evil.
Has anyone noticed that what they say is good for the
economy seldom seems to be good for people?
There is a mentality that goes something like this: “Hey, my
grandparents came to America and had to work 12 hours a day in a factory at the
age of 16, so should you.” No! What they did to your grandparents was horribly
wrong. There was no need for people to live in misery in hopes that their
children might have a chance at a better life then, there is less reason for it
now.
If we do not realize the spirituality that underlies
politics we will never find political solutions. All answers we come up with
will be simplistic, incomplete, and eventually harmful.
The answer to the Koch brothers is not George Soros, and the
answer to George Soros is not the Koch Brothers. Or Donald Trump, either. The
answer to billionaires ruling our country is not different billionaires ruling
our country.
The more we permit the people who own our debt to own our
government, the greater the debt will grow.
What leads people to believe capitalists will take any better
care of the free market than they have of the environment?
There is no freedom, only power. The only way to be free
from power is to possess it. And the only way for the majority of people to be
free is to learn how to share power, to make sure it never ends up concentrated
in the hands of a few.
The citizens of the United States should not be held
responsible for debts incurred by a government representing big banks.
Saying politicians won’t take on big banks just because they
take money from them is like saying TV news doesn’t do scathing reports on
pharmaceutical companies just because they’re major advertisers.
It’s time we faced it: capitalism has been a poor system for
rewarding those who actually add value to society. It enriches those who destroy
the environment, create violent and immoral movies and games, distract the
masses from what is truly valuable in life, and pervert all that is pure and
wholesome. At the same time, it leaves those who do the most valuable
work—sanitation workers, food workers, those who actually create goods—with
little of those things which make life worthwhile, namely leisure, education,
security, happiness, self-determination, and peace. It gives children drugs
when it should be giving them parents with time to spend with them, fields to
play in and time to explore. It gives children power over adults, allowing them
to demand from them what they have seen on TV. It promotes material possessions
over spiritual values, leaving the vast majority of us perpetually unsatisfied. And feeling thus we turn to bitterness and dislike of our fellow humans,
blaming them for our unhappiness because we feel we are not in control of our
own lives.
People are willing to believe voter fraud exists without any
proof and yet are unwilling to accept the reality of man made climate change
despite the overwhelming scientific evidence.
Before we require proof of voter identification, first I
think we should require proof that it is needed.
If you aren’t free now, you never will be. Be brave now or
be a slave tomorrow. Be hopeful now. Love now. Vote for a tyrant and you will
be a slave. Vote for hope now and you will have hope.
If we build a wall on our Southern border, it’s only a
matter of time before we begin one on our Northern one. Walls do not create
safety, they build prisons.
Politicians are merely actors in a play we write. Poor
actors, admittedly, but still dependent on our script.
Why do people vote for politicians who say that politicians
can’t be trusted? Vote for one who believes it to be a noble profession.
We can’t hope to gain control of our nation until we can
first gain control of one of our political parties.
