WHY WE WILL NOT SELL OUR CONSCIENCE FOR A POTAGE OF SOUP

In the past few months, when the Washington intellectual incoherent and their sycophants see the enormous and steadfast support that Barack Obama is getting across the country, they were tension-shocked; thereby, making them to employ their callous and lucre-minded tactics of the past 16 years against his candidacy.
In Washington, the more divided the country is, the more financial gain they get. In every move they make, the concerns of the people in the heartland of America are quite secondary. It is in concert with this that you see the desperation on their path to blaspheme and ridicule the trifocal ideas by Sen. Obama that would not only transform this nation, but propel the nation from gory to glory.
In every society, corruption and thirst for power rather than service of inclusion, always sets a darkling phenomenon on the progress of such nation. A leader who does not see any need to foster a transcending vision that will bring about a new generation of leaders, such person does not deserve honor of leadership. You know the two families that represent this view.
For those that seek hateful, senseless, brutish, blind ideological and self-serving motives against this noble man's candidacy, in the end, the guilt of wounded self-respect, would always returns to haunt you.
Some on this blog (Jerome) have deviated from the great spirit of the progressive movement where ideas always surpass loyalty to corrupt and fan faring political figures in the Democratic Party. Dr. Howard Dean, who most of our progressive bloggers loved in 2004, was blatantly hated by the party establishment for advocating our values.
Today, his bold ideas of fearlessly advocating progressive visions are the center reasons why the Republican hysterical minions are in disarray today. Even after he lost the nomination in 2004, the Clintons and their hangers-on did not stop; they mounted their machine to stop him from becoming the party chairman. But as God always plan; the voices of helpless activists like you and I across the country took whole and Dr. Dean won the election.
Today, those that where at the forefront of the movement to bring about leaders who will faithfully advocate progressive ideas are now bought by the Washington establishment. The question that I have for them is: why betray your followers for a potage of soup?
For whatever attacks employed against the candidacy of Obama, it wouldn't work--because, his supporters are not hangers-on; they are true believer, who desperately need a fundamental change in the way we do business in Washington and around the world. Dr. Dean shows us the way that we should not settle for less and we will not.
 This is a movement that is not based on blind ideology or self-serving interest--it is a movement to end the bigotry and dynasty of the past 16 years that have yielded no substantial results for party and the country. Remember what they ill-conceived goal did to Al Gore--the result; George Bush.
To buttress my point, Jerome and co, Obama's supporters across the country are embarking on raising a total cash of $100,000 and food items nationwide to help those among us that can't afford to have food this summer season. It is an idea that stems from message of HOPE and OPTIMISM by Sen. Obama. Instead of contributing money to celebrate his birthday, his supporters are contributing this money to commemorate his 46th birthday by feeding the poor among us. That is what inspiration and vision can do to a nation.
As for me and other true progressive believers, we will not sell our conscience for a cheap short-term political gain.
Thus, if anyone thinks that attacking Obama would dissuade his followers, such individual needs to do a rethink. We are here to stay and to win the next battle for America. United we stand!

Tom Vilsack: A dead man working

By the way, who is Tom Vilsack? Isn't it a shame that he could not stay in the race when he was a governor of a key state? I thought governors are more power than folks at House of Representative. Dennis Kucinich is still in the race if when he does not have enough money. He does have ideas; thus, he is crusading these ideas to the American people.
Tom Vilsack is a bag of shame to his family and the great people of Iowa. He is a punk and a girl in man's body.
I am glad he is not my governor, nor he is my father. If after betraying his followers, by selling his conscience for $90,000, he is still shamelessly representing the fugitive from history.
Even with his endorsement of bender of truth, Hillary Clinton, and his religious campaigning in Iowa, couple with the famous July 4 Bill Clinton (The irresponsible and reckless adulterous man)show up, Hillary is still not in the first place in the poll.
Tom Vilsack is a dead man working. When all is done and Hillary does not become the nominee, where will he go? Maybe, becoming a house boy for Bill. At least, he could give his wife to Bill, and he will do the cleaning and other domestic work for the Clintons.

Hillary Clinton: Bender of Truth, Fugitive From History

In Monday's debate, voters were looking for a candidate that will redirect our arrogant, but fail foreign policies of the past 16 years to more engaged foreign policies that is akin to the idealism of Kennedy, Reagan and FDR generations.
Barack Obama answered that call not to lead from a pinnacle of fear, but to build on the great legacies of our forbearers--where they lead from a compass of strength, hope and optimism. It is in line with this tradition that the beloved late John F. Kennedy famous said, "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."
Ironically, the perceived most "experienced" Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton seems to champion the current doctrine by the Bush administration where fear reigns in every policy. In her response to the question of meeting with our enemies, she overtly said she will not negotiate with them because of fear of propaganda.
The paradox of her statement is: where is the strength of her leadership, if her greatest concern is mounted on the fear of propaganda? Second, what then differentiate her from the current president's doctrine? And lastly, beside the current president, when was the last time America operates from a corner of fear?
It seems the American voices of reasoning; humility and confidence often envied by other countries are gradually eroding into the abyss of history. In the past six years of the Bush administration, fear has virtually replaced every sense of reasoning, confidence and optimism--three key words passionately used by Reagan to battle the forces of darkness.
This doctrine famously employed by the Bush administration has caused a lasting damage to our chromosomal combinations and our thinking faculties that we may perhaps, continues our current isolationist agenda.
A food for thought: where we stop engaging, China, Russia and other emerging economy nations are penetrating deeper. We currently live in a competing economy where even the worst rogue nation does have a business friend. To be précised, Africa that used to be pure green for America is gradually opening their door to China--especially in the area of raw materials and natural resources.
If a leader of a nation hanged his or her leadership on the thin thread of fear, what should be expected from his or her followers? Despair and continue uncertainty. Such connotation is a clear demonstration of lack of bold vision prissily and morally required of a leader.
In the aftermath of 9/11--a tragic moment in the history of America--the Bush administration politically played the fear factor and consciously or unconsciously washed away with flood water of Hurricane Katrina the great spirit of confidence and sense of reasoning that has sustained our nation in the faces of impossibilities.
The Washington cult group (who dine with political figures) called the mainstream media and their corporate friends lucre-mindedly and overzealously infused these sound bites into our homes, churches, workplaces and squares until most of us consumed it.
Yes, I was a victim. But in the aftermath of last congressional election, I then realized the grave political undertone to the fear mongering slogan--"If we don't fight them there, they will follow us home."  Yes, we have to fight those that want to hurt us, but we must not do so by turning our cherish nation into a chamber of fear; where inaction and folly reign.
President Bush was right when said in his State of the Union address last year that to win the war against Islamic extremist, we could only win through the battle of ideas and not just through the barrel of a gun. It is in this historical laurel that Mr. Obama is again calling on us to wage this war not from the corner of fear, but from the pinnacle of strength and confidence.
Yes, we can win, if and only if, we retract our failed isolationist agenda of the past 16 years that have left our nation brutally brushed to the corner of uncertainty.
When the Washington establishment forcefully attacked Obama for sanctioning a new proven tactic of expanding our leadership around the world again, it was not a surprise; because the current club of "experts" on foreign issues in our nation's capitol do lazily conducts their business from a cozy basement with fan fare.
A clear demonstration of their inaction is how their professed gradation of experiences got us into one of the greatest foreign policy blunder in human history. Hillary Clinton with all the badges of "experiences," naively voted and passed the 2002 Iraq war resolution, even when she was privy to the classified intelligence information.
Unfortunately, the seemingly "inexperienced" state senator, Barack Obama who was not privileged to the NIE report, made a resounding smart and trifocal judgment on the issue. His arguments and reasons continue to stand the test of time. I think, Democrats have a choice to make: Do we want a continue fail policy that have left us certain and unsafe or do we want a new idealistic foreign policy that is not based on blind ideology?
In the months ahead, the nation will be having a date with history. I don't know about you, but as for me and those who shares these beliefs with me, we will join hands in bending the arc of justice to a little bit right.
In the word of John F. Kennedy, "There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction."
