The Founder: My Expression Of Gratitude

by SwordOfScotland, Apr 4, 2018, 3:36:49 AM
Journals / Personal

I want to take a brief moment to thank all of the elected officials (the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Senators, Congressmen/women, Judges, Lawyers, Secretaries,), and all of the Ambassadors, writers, editors, artist, and everyone else who had worked so hard over the years to make this experiment such a success.

We were the very first Forum-based Group, the largest, the longest lasting, and had the best political art on deviantART. Everyone who came after us modeled themselves after us.

I cannot thank everyone enough for all that they contributed.

Fidel Castro dead at 90.

by The-Necromancer, Nov 26, 2016, 2:23:10 AM
Journals / Personal

The news out of Cuba is that Fidel Castro has died. Confirmed by his brother Raul, Castro's remains will be cremated.

His death marks the end of an era in many ways, and Fidel will remain a controversial figure for many years to come. Certainly, he is reviled by many in the Exile community. There is likely much celebrating in Miami and elsewhere. To many across Latin America and the developing world, he was a hero and icon of opposition to US Imperialism. He will be mourned wherever such persons are found.

That is all.

The Wilhelm Gustloff, a forgotten tragedy.

It has been 71 years to date since the Wilhelm Gustloff, a German cruise ship turned refugee ship, was torpedoed and sank in the evening by a Russian submarine just off the coast of present-day Poland.
http://diddles25.deviantart.com/art/Wilhelm-Gustloff-the-Titanic-Was-Not-the-Worst-434482316
Designed to carry 1,850 people, the Wilhelm Gustloff was jammed with approximately 10,600 people when she left the port of modern-day Gdynia. Nearly 9,000 of those on board were refugees, including roughly 5,000 children and the remainder overwhelmingly women and old men. All of them fleeing the wrath of the Russian army. Many mothers had at least 3 children.
despite the refugees, the Wilhelm Gustloff was a legitimate military target because of the thousand or so submarine crew and military personnel that she carried.
Only about 1,230 people survived while over 9,300 others were trapped inside the ship or froze to death in the icy

I've launched a new Tumblr blog called "Things In America That Need 2 GTFO"! This is a 100% original blog about a 100% original concept: complaining on the internet about things I don’t like! (Okay, so it’s not exactly original. Sue me!)
Anyway, as the title suggests, this blog is a catalog of microaggressions, pet peeves, and first world problems that make living in the “best country on earth” not so great. And as you can tell from the tone of this description, this blog will be completely tongue-in-cheek with hyperbole and comedic exaggeration! As such, don’t take it too seriously, because if you take life too seriously, your head will explode! (This is why I complain: to prevent my own head from exploding!)

Trump's Grindr Date

John Kenneth Galbraith on socialism and capitalism by YamaLama1986

Building the PanopticonThis is an issue I have been watching unfold for many years now. It is an issue that crops up whenever authorities seek additional powers over the internet or additional means to circumvent the Constitution, like national security letters. There are people who have made their way into positions of power within the government who seem to be seeking the power to control all aspects of the internet, and as such, people's lives. They want to control who you know, how they allow you to interact with others, what you can do, what you can see, and even control what you can say. It is already fairly easy for anyone, including state agencies, to see what you are doing on any computerized device using Van Eck P

Review of the 1st Presidential DebateThe first Presidential debate has wrapped up, and much of the country is in a flurry. Overall, I think both did well, but Donald Trump had made some non squetor statements. Hillary looked to be well rested and recovered from her bout with Phemonia and Donald Trump did not really resort to name-calling in the debate. It was a nice clean debate, and had some sparring back and forth. With Lester Holt moderating the debate, they had a tight ship to deal with. Here's a look back at the highlights and the issues that they discussed.
In the section of America's national security, Trump slammed Clinton on her deals with Iran and letting ISIS grow unchecked. Hillary accused him in this segment about being for the Iraq War, when Trump expicitly said that he was against it. It was quite a suprise that Hillary did not use the woman card in the debate, yet she called Donald Trump out on his alleged mistreatment of women and his female employees. Donald Trum

Egyptian President Nasser on Muslim BrotherhoodIn recent times the conception of the Middle East by people in the Western world is increasingly that since the arrival of Islam that it has consistently been a traditionalist and backwards region. However in the 20th century there were efforts in multiple Middle Eastern countries to break the perception held by outsiders of their societies being backwards by promoting a secular society and abandoning support for traditional cultural elements promoted by supporters of Islamic religious society deemed to be archaic and out of touch with the realities of the modern world. The two major Middle Eastern countries that led this were Egypt and Turkey. Egypt being the most populous Arab country in the Middle East, had immense influence on the politics of nearby Arab countries Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria that emulated Egypt by establishing secular societies while others like Saudi Arabia maintained a staunchly traditionalist Islamic society.

Editorial | Khader Adnan: His dignity. Our shame.
This week, Khader Adnan entered his third month of a hunger strike
against his unlawful detention and mistreatment at the hands of the Israeli military.
The deafening silence by world leaders and media at his plight shames us all.

Somewhere in the Middle East, a 33-year old man is today entering the 60th day of a hunger strike.

Why Occupy Wall Street Sucks

After months of protesting the wrong people, the Occupy Wall Street movement finally got a clue and went to Washington D.C. on January 16 to stage Occupy Congress.
And boy was it a real bust!
Despite the liberal media praising it, the protest only managed to garner a few hundred protesters instead of the over ten thousand it claimed it was going to have. Add the fact that donations have been dwindling and protests across the country have been getting evicted, and the Occupy movement could very well be going through its death throes.
People keep asking me why I don't support the Occupy movement. After all, my hero

(Felt like it was begging a rewrite of the national anthem

)
Oh say can you see through corruption and spite
Through the quest for the green, the almighty dollar won
By depriving us of constitutional rights
Those who carry our torch have no interest but their own
And the protests that flared, and the outcries unheard
They could have had hope had our "leadership" cared
So stand helpless as freedom spins in its grave
In a land run by greed and the purely depraved.

Top 10 Epic Fails of 2011

No doubt 2011 has been a year of epic fail. So allow me to list what I consider to be the Top 10 epic fails of 2011:
#10: Weinergate "Scandal"
You know what I consider the worst part about Weinergate?
It's not that Anthony Weiner tweeted his junk to a female constituent. Politicians have always been involved with sex scandals here in America since Jefferson. And for the most part, I could care less. Ron Paul could go Hugh Hefner on us and date a Playboy bunny every day of the week, and I'd still support his noninterventionist foreign policy and opposition to the Patriot Act.
And it's not that libtarded moonbats like Rachel Maddow and Cenk Ugyur were quick to defend the man, only to wipe egg off their faces once he confessed.
No. the worst part was undoubtedly the Republicans. As was expected, the "Moral Majority" was quick t

Petition to Save American Democracy!

To my American Comrades,
I know that there's a lot wrong with our country right now, let alone the whole world. And I know that signing a petition is no substitute for direct action and getting out in the streets and becoming one with the critical mass needed to change this country for the better.
But for now, when you're not out showing solidarity with the 99% in the streets, at least you can take 2 minutes to sign this petition to overturn the undemocratic decision laid out in Citizens United while you go on with your daily internet lives.
This petition is for the Saving American Democracy Amendment.
This amendment states that:
Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people.
Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.
Corporations may not make campaign contributions.
Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.
And if you have friends and family and comrades elsewhere in real life or online, get them to sign this pet

Reality Has A Liberal Bias?

In his New York Times bestselling book Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, Emmy Award-winning journalist Bernard Goldberg wrote about the pervasive liberal bias he experienced firsthand while working at CBS News for 30 years. He claimed that the bias was not part of some conspiracy being secretly implemented by the media, but that it was an unintentional consequence of having so many politically like-minded journalists working together in the same environment with very little dissenting opinion among them.
"If you hooked network news reporters and producers to polygraph machines and asked them, 'Do you think you are guilty of liberal bias?' most would almost certainly answer, 'no.' And they would pass the polygraph test because they're not lying," he wrote. "They honestly believe what they're saying. And that's the biggest problem of all."1

Let's Talk About Killin Babies

::Note:: I wrote this a while back in response to Joyce Arthur's pro-abortion essay. It's a long one, so hold on to your butts!
"A human zygote, blast cyst, embryo, or fetus is a human being with a right to life, and abortion is therefore murder and should be illegal." Joyce Arthur said this but in the next breath she claimed that this logic is "deeply flawed." My purpose in writing this is to say that's absolutely false. "Personhood: Is a Fetus a Human Being?" by Joyce Arthur came to my attention while in a friendly debate with a liberal friend of mine. I found it to be a dishonest and a misleading piece of work. I have decided to go through Arthur's work and correct the "facts" she has stated to justify her stance on abortion.
As I commonly say in my debates with liberals, I want to call a spade a spade and I will go into a little more detail on this subject later on. The subject is abortion. The stances are either for or against it. I will not call someone who is for abortion "pro-c

Top 10 Economic Myths BUSTED

"Tax the rich! They don't pay their fair share!"
"The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer!"
"Bush killed the economy with massive deregulation! We need more regulation!"
"Beware! The Koch Brothers are transforming this country into neo-feudalism! We're all going to become wage slaves to our corporate feudal lords!"
Everywhere I go on the internet, I keep running into the same trite economic talking points. Not that these talking points are hard to debunk (on the contrary, they're easily debunked), but that they keep popping up time and again, and I get sick and tired of debunking them each and every time. So, to do myself and everyone else a service, I have compiled a list of the top ten economic myths, followed by the truth:
Myth #1: The rich don't pay their fair share in taxes
According to popular misconception, the rich (especially the richest one percent) pay little to nothing in taxes while the middle class and poor carry the brunt of the tax b

"Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither" - Benjamin Franklin
I know who my audience is. You're mostly conservatives and libertarians (and that's the way I like it). So I'm going to convey this story in a way you all can understand.
But first, a brief history lesson.
In early 2009, a government document entitled "The Modern Militia Movement," commonly known as the MIAC Report, was leaked to the public. The document detailed the rising trend in right-wing militias and was created to help local authorities identify militia members and domestic terrorists, suggesting that Ron Paul bumper stickers or Gadsden flags could be indicators of militia activity. Couple it with the Patriot Act, which allows for warrantless wiretaps and library record searches, and this report could have allowed the Obama Administration to hunt down political dissenters as domestic terrorists. Simply checking out a copy of Ron Paul's "End The Fed" could run a library patron the risk of bein
