Freedom is not Free
Freedom is not free,
indeed, it costs a lot of money to be “free”.
Have you had a baby?
Prenatal care and delivery cost money.
Does your child go to school?
Well you pay for a public school education too.
Do they have teeth?
Dental care is not cheap.
Of course good credit and Allstate
considerably lessen these expenses.
Maybe you grew up on base and the public
paid for your health care and housing: nice!
More welfare recipients!
Freedom is not free,
you pay money every step of the way.
College costs money too,
unless you make things that go ka-boom:
and then the public pays you.
Honor is “sacred”, yet pride is a sin;
there is a Golden Mean,
called humble contentment,
but that is quite un-consuming,
and capitalism is consumption!
So we celebrate “freedom”
by paying for a big fireworks display;
watching things go boom (how original)
“Ooooh Ahhhh” utters the enchanted crowd!
Freedom is not free,
it costs money every step of the way.
Even when you die you have to pay;
hopefully the estate sale will cover the fees.
No sleeping in city parks, that is illegal,
state parks charge camping fees,
national parks cost money money money,
alas, such is the price of being “free”!
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Freedom is not free.
(Is that debit or credit?).

Still shooting (from the lips)
As America is gearing up to perhaps open another front (against Iran) in our world war you speak of not learning from the past RoxyDoxy: har har har har! That is some hilarious stuff man!
Yeah JN, I do have a Krem news link, that is funny: har har har har. Sheeees!
Well JN, our invasion of Iraq directly led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis (far greater numbers than even the most liberal of war-hawks’ assertions against Saddam), and to the displacement of millions of others. Our invasion of Afghanistan has led directly to the death of at this time undetermined numbers of Afghani people as compared to what? The innumerable deaths Afghanis suffered when we furnished them weapons to battle the Soviets, or the innumerable deaths that occurred after the Soviets withdrew, and we then withdrew our “assistance” allowing for a decade long warlord war? American “special” forces could have taken care of Osama, but we had to full-scale invade their country: somebody is making money! And they are now producing record amounts of poppy: nice! As per two counts of “just” war theory the United States is guilty and guilty; and America shall one day account for it’s crimes against humanity!
I bring up my Jewishness (who accepts Jesus as my Lord and Savior nonetheless!!!!) purely for goy reaction Glinda! ;): we are all children of Abraham (well, of Noah anyway!!!) milady; Arab, Indian, European, Asiatic . . .
All of my comments are wholly derivative from my religious belief, but I demand not that adulterers be put to death as the Old Law dictates, that is where the saving grace of Jesus comes in (in fact the only biblical commandment America takes seriously is “stealing” b/c of their love of their precious “private” property: “property” [you don’t pay property tax you don’t have a house within which to house your trinkets] that you annually pay taxes on and never really own; and we certainly never practice Jubilee!). Jesus, that decentralized communist par excellence, the one who overturned that tables of the money changers and lenders, the ultimate enemy of capitalism (his parables often used economic verbiage because money seems to be the only language people understand)! Jesus declared, “if you want to be perfect (become a bum like him) . . .
Thankfully St. Paul vouchsafed Jesus's words declaring money to be the root of o so many evils, and here our very society is predicated upon money: har har har har. America, the Babylonian Whore!
Well JN after seeing me dribble you'll need even more beer! By the way, I didn't think the Irish were allowed an opinion, I thought the Anglos just gave you orders . . .
Har har har har: just kidding brother. Ireland is now a "sovereign" nation that is right (we even have a couple Irish judges here in America) . . .
Free Ireland now (and the Brits gotta give up mass cash for the centuries long injustices)!

Man threatens to "shoot up" Hoopfest
Man threatens to “shoot up” Hoopfest
Well Navy Scott, dudes would not be getting blown up by IEDs if they were not invading other countries; the other side must not have a Navy with which to fight, hence the IEDs.
And you killin_4aliving, since "you" (b/c you are speaking as a recruiter in the 1st person), or the U.S. military, get 3/4s a trillion dollars annually from us taxpayers, what more support would you need? Moral? You get that from every Tom, Dick, and Harry in this country. Me? I am here to destroy evil not condone it! Tis funny that for all of my posts that have been deleted I have never used profanity, you should work on that brother.
Fear not though, Jesus even blessed a Roman centurion, and the Roman soldiers are the ones that physically crucified him: go figure!
I hear you gozags13! There are no innocents in war eh; no, not one . . .
The Revolutionary War you say?!? Those darned English insurrectionists/"American" terrorists, whatever; if it were not for the French the Brits would have hung all of those traitorous curs!
JuanitoNegro: your name is rebuttal enow. Just another negro doing the rich mans' heavy lifting, but since you do not question orders you are of the most dangerous variety . . . Alas, you took a high school history class: very good.
Swamisez: I hate nothing sir, just evil, hence I speak truth to power!

Within the Sea Teems Life
In a world of rivals; I am unmatched.
I have no peers; yet my peerlessness renders me enslaved.
I promote naught but love; yet I am surrounded by consuming competition.
I lived for me, and died for you: I have been reborn passionless.
I hurry slowly: this short life having been too long.
I surrender to dying fighting; going into that night with silent rage and whimpering compassion.
I have been humbled; my spirit rests.
Infinite Oneness beckons: plurality, triangularity, duality, encompassed within eternal singularity - awesome -!
With determined presumption I cast hope away; no need to hope against hope because all have a judgment day; the endless day after that is home.
Death may have the final word, but timelessness is beyond articulation.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; what is good for me is good for you (are you sure about that?!?); that is, relatively so, truthfully.
Can we get a common good here? We have one, money, the root of o so much evil.
The state of man is business; the City of God is personal; all the Lord now waits for is us to forever lay business aside and keep our relations personal.
Now is gone.
Goodnight.

In Spokane, WA
Freedom of Speech does not exist. Are you too policed by your “fellow” citizenry, the news stations, big business, and the government into ideological conformity?
If you think deeply enough upon this matter you will realize that since the day of your birth, you have been . . .
It is called fascism.

The new poor white and nigga: the Iraqi
Irrespective of all that apologist rubbish we read in the history books about the Civil War, the plain fact is that it had more to do with economics than it did about freeing the slaves. But when moral justification was used, like every differing side uses when gearing up for war, both sides were quoting Scripture, and the North just had more physical resources at it’s disposal that enabled them to successfully abet disobedient slaves. Nowhere in Scriptures does it say there should not be slaves, it just says to treat ones’ slaves and servants well, as well as urging slaves to be faithful to their Masters.
So the white aristocrats got the poor to fight their war, Africans were “freed”, and then the white businessman set up their local governments again, and it was back to making money; and the still disfranchised blacks were so happy they gladly were willing to kill Indians, Mexicans, Spanish, Filipinos, and whomever else, for rich whitey. Divide and conquer nothing new there. The Anglos pretty much did the same with the poor Irish immigrants, allowing them into the working-class enough to make them ever so grateful they can kill for ‘the man’ instead of being dogged. And we repeated the process with the Filipinos, Mexicans, and we even finally broke the Indians; and look what we did for the Indians, we have them dealing cards and serving drinks: imagine that!
Immigration was used to expand, to conquer the West, and to break strikes. The California coast was not even sufficient by the turn of the 20th century so we expanded all the way to Asia’s shores, and we dogged out and divided and conquered quite a few Pacific Islanders along the way. And every race that had been thus far vanquished the U.S. government mentally co-opted in the 20th century with the various, almost perpetual, wars the U.S. waged in that century.
With continual conquest of course even American peasants live better than “kings of old”; I mean, when the really rich run business far and wide, of course they are going to throw some bones to the little people.
Chains are no longer needed in the 21st century for slavery. It is economically and intellectually done. Get enough people in the military, indoctrinate them with how o so “exceptional” they are, and they will even kill fellow Americans to keep the rich man safe! As long as they have a job and new truck it is all good . . .
Let the working class fight for a service industry job, let the middle-class get their insurance/banker/economic speculator job, and throw the others in prison to do our real slave labor; road work, manufacture technological/industrial parts, milk cows, etc., and conquer more territories so we have enemies we must always battle, hence misdirecting the poor peoples’ plight and giving them a stake in this “American Dream”. We are building prisons as fast as possible to add the foreclosed on (the “war on drugs" provides ample slaves too) into our already burgeoning prison population, returning soldiers get a job guarding them, in 10 to 20 years we will have a sizable portion of Iraqis’ and Afghanis’ joining the Army, and then it is off to Iran, and after that we will have to start a real war to thin out this world’s population. Textbook.
I could write a book about how the American zeitgeist has been shaped for generations by the industrial conglomerates, their American government, and their money-loving, private-property worshipping, Anglo-Protestant version of “God”; and mayhap one day I shall.
Alas, no self-respecting brother should fight for them!

The Communism of Christ
True “communism” which should actually be appropriately named Jesusianism, has not been correctly attempted since the apostles were put to death, and the first Christians violently persecuted. All 20th century “communist” nations were simply the ones with the bigger guns centralizing control over production and consumption. Decentralization of our representatives is vital to success, b/c when a ruling class is sequestered into some “capitol” who only hears the desires of big money, corruption is ensured.
I also want to make explicitly clear that any “class-war”, or any revolution, whose aim is the abolishment of economic inequality has to be non-violent; or else it is simply another violent struggle between men, and I am sorely unimpressed with what that has accomplished humanity. A true revolution that seeks to lift humankind up entire shall be successful if peace is our only weapon of choice!
If two hundred million Americans simply woke up tomorrow and said, “we will no longer participate in the fiction of money and credit cards”, and we threw these idols to the ground realizing they are not only useless but actually evil tools of oppression (which shall one day occur as notably writ in Isaiah and Revelations among other Scripture), that day humanity shall be truly liberated! When we dispense with the fiction that competition for money and resources breeds innovation and progress, when we dispense with the fiction that a persons’ selfish ‘pursuit of happiness’ somehow leads to our overall greater good, when we dispense with the fiction that perpetual war will somehow make the world a safer place, when we dispense with these fictions the rich and mighty shall no longer have any power. They can stay holed up in their mountains and out in the countryside, but they will no longer get paid.
The day we wake up and say, “what can I do for you my brother/sister”, and not, “what is in it for me”, is the day humanity shall realize our divinity; and this will come to pass!
And not one drop of blood will be shed!

Afghanistan II
As the debate continued, I offered a final quite abridged response:
I don’t ever recall America being invaded by a foreign nation PBP. The Brits razed D.C., and Mexico tried to stop us from “annexing” Texas, but outside of that I do not remember any foreign armies occupying American soil. Well, I suppose we could say those “evil” Native Americans tried to steal our land, but we don’t count them; anyways, they would have never discovered alcoholism or casinos if it were not for the white mans’ benevolence.
Cheddar, “our way of life” has been created by our continuing world conquest. From our centuries long conquest of the continental U.S., the continued westward expansion ever giving us more land and resources to exploit; our conquest of numerous Pacific Islands; our endless excursions into Central America and Caribbean nations/islands; our exploitation of myriad South American nations: we go in and more often than not at some time, have to militarily fortify our corporate interests by installing or “aiding” factions who are willing to do business, and allow us to exploit them for resources, cheap labor, and military bases. And so the story goes . . .
Interestingly enough, every time we have invaded, or “aided”, foreign nations to “liberate” them, American business and military interests are also served. Apparently being so altruistically unselfish pays quite well.
You state that the MTV generation will one day realize this nation has gone to crap, and hopefully will one day wake up to fight for our way of life. Yes, I know, we need that foreign oil and those pipelines secured or else our way of life would be seriously imperiled. It is all about making sure we get ours eh . . .
