Freedom or Greed? Which desire is strongest?

Freedom or Greed - Which will Prevail in America?

Choices that were to be made in 2012 and beyond that would eventually impact all of our futures:

Freedom or Greed. Which did you choose?

Freedom does NOT include suppression, oppression, regression, recession, discrimination, incarceration or depression.

A taste of Freedom (Is it ever enough?)

versus

A taste of Greed (Is it ever enough?)

How many of us can 'taste' anything and have it be enough to satisfy our desires or needs?

The world watched in total anticipation and awe, as an entire country went from a taste of freedom to the ultimate possession of it. A thing of the past.

The ramifications of this transformation will radiate well beyond this one country. It has reverberated across the entire globe.

It would be ludicrous to think that this quest and ultimate attainment of freedom, will stop here, at this period in history.

Our own government needs to take a good look at itself, and hopefully realize the consequences of, all the freedoms it is attempting to take away from the American people.

We are on a slippery downhill slope - heading to a pit of moral mandates and religious drownings in this country.

We are not all alike. No-one has all the right answers. No-one needs religion, or morality, forced upon us by mandate.

As i have said on many of my hubs - sin is only in the minds of the sinner, or those who would make judgements on others based on their own narrow minded beliefs.

The corruption of our social democracy, and the recently attempted removal of personal freedoms for women, and denial of freedoms for the gay population, is noteworthy, in that, it is just the beginning of freedom loss for us in this country if we blindly allow it to happen through public apathy.

The Republicans want to take away the only means of support for a large majority of the elderly population, under the ruse that it is costing taxpayer dollars to maintain it.

Our social security system is the only remnant of solvency left in this corrupt government. It is paid for by worker salaries and currently has enough money to cover all retirees until the year 2040 and beyond even if it is stopped today.

The attack on the social security system is nothing more than an attempt to steal this money for the coffers of the wealthy. It is killing them that they cannot get their greedy hands on it in its present form.

To privatize this safety net for so many people in the name of saving this country money is a blatant lie by the new republican/tea party movement that wants to take us backwards in time.

While the crisis was going on in the middle east, the republicans were trying to cram legislation through; behind the backs of the American people.

The very thing they accused the Democrats of doing.

They have spent the last seven years refusing to participate in anything that would benefit the American people, and that could possibly put any restraints on the unmitigated thievery by corporate America.

The next few years will be spent attacking the Democrats and wasting time, and taxpayer money, trying to undo everything that has been accomplished over the past presidential term that might possible benefit the American people vs corporate America.

I find this party today to be a disgusting display of plutocratic buffoonery. If they spent half of their time trying to help the American people, that they spend sucking up to corporate America, and attacking the progressive movement, we would be in much a better economic situation than we find ourselves today.

Instead this congress has evolved into the worst do nothing congress in American history.

It looks like Democracy may spread throughout the middle east and be lost in America at the same time.

A blatant move directly from the misgivings and ignorance of a bunch of old narrow minded, greedy men who run this country by hiding behind the facade of conservatism, who want more for themselves than the American people.

The younger politicians being elected, are moralistic bigots backed by the moral police and corporate America. WE are truly lost.

My main disappointment in today's politics; is that, the Obama administration is selling out the American people to try to appease the wealthy, and the evil infidels infiltrating our government. .

Ignoramuses like Palin, O'Connell, McConnell, Beck, Limbaugh, et al, ( to name a few) , are more of a hindrance to progress than they are of help.

They advocate 'shooting' the liberals. Perhaps someone should start 'shooting' them instead. {"Figuratively" speaking of course, as Ms Palin so graciously stated.}

They are nothing more than smoke screens, used to attract the attention of the media, so the real dirt can take hold behind the scenes. Dirt, like Karl Rove, whose family name is actually 'Roverer'. His grandfather was Karl Heinz Roverer, the Gauleiter of Oldenburg. Roverer was Nazi State Party Chairman for his region. He was also a partner and senior engineer in the Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurburo A.G. engineering firm, that built Birkenau Death Camp, at which tens of thousands of Jews, gypsies, dissidents, homosexuals, captured American soldiers, and others were slaughtered en masse.

Karl Rove (Roverer) has been based in Utah; also associated with the Mormon church, is widely viewed as the chief engineer of the Bush administrations. This is the Republican hero that is so worshiped today in the Republican party.

We can only wonder where this country is headed?

Elections today are not won by the ability of the candidates. Most people really believe that GW Bush actually "won" those elections by popular vote. Amazing.

Karl Rove is no dummy. He knew who to back, and the Republicans fought tooth and nail to get electronic voting into place - with NO paper back up ballots to count in the event of a recall. The computers were hacked, totals changed, and no-one the wiser.

To re-iterate my previous contentions that future elections will not be won by popular vote, but by who has the most proficient computer hackers along with the money to buy the rest of the votes.

Expect more the same fate in the future, as in 2012.

Why K. Rove backed G.W. Bush? G.W. 's maternal grandfather (George Herbert Walker) and (Prescott Bush - G.W.'s grandfather) were both among Hitler's most important early backers. They funneled money to the rising young fascist through the Union Banking Corp in which Prescott Bush was on the board of directors.

In a case involving the Freedom of Information Act, the nation's corporate giants are asking the corrupt, corporate owned supreme court, to rule that they have a right to "personal privacy" just as people do.

If the Corporate Court ignores the ordinary meaning of the term "personal privacy" and grants corporations their wish to have the same rights as people, as in Citizens United, corporations will be able to block the news media and government watchdogs from accessing important government records that corporations would prefer remain hidden.

{Does this all sound familiar? All leading toward their ultimate goal of Corporate Autocratic Government control.} Their claim that inanimate corporations have feelings too, is at best, one of the most ludicrous claims that this evil entity has ever attempted to perpetrate on the American public.

This comes after supreme court justices A. Scalia and C. Thomas raised eyebrows and ethics questions late last year when they attended a conference sponsored by Charles and David Koch, the billionaire brothers who head Koch industries.

A comprehensive expose from the New Yorker reported on the Koch Brother's immense financial and ideological ties to the right wing and pro-corporate groups, and the Koch sponsored event that Scalia and Thomas attended, was held "to review strategies for combating the multitude of public policies that threaten to destroy America as we know it". (insurance coverage reform, wall street reform, limits on lobbying influences, public disclosure of money received for campaigning, etc...).

Is there really any doubt who owns and runs this government?

The tea party-ers are totally misguided by their ignorance.

They are blinded by party loyalty, when they scream that: 'we want to take our country back'. That same misguided loyalty they have to their religious benefactors. Blinded by ignorance and empty promises.

It is not the democratic party that our country should be "taken back" from - it is the corporate entities, and religious fanatics, that are owned (controlled) by the fascist movement alive and well here in America - the land of the free - at least, in theory, for now.

But, i do apologize for having MY priorities in the wrong place. It is way more important that we back the Birthers in questioning the authenticity of Mr. Obama's birth certificate - or the troublesome fact of what has now taken over our government, and trying to put us back to the same position we were in before their ousting two years ago. The cycle of madness never seems to end.

And we must not forgot the all important social issues of the republican party, regarding the censuring of the Smithsonian exhibits; or fighting to give back full power to the insurance companies, by taking away coverage from millions of Americans when they overturn the Obamacare legislation.

The republicans sure have their priorities in order. Makes me proud to be one. At least for the time being.

If we don't start paying closer attention to our American politics, we will find ourselves in the very position the Arab world is trying to shed.
