    Aldous Huxley, author of the classic novel, Brave New World, gives his readers a ???warning??? of what would come to pass if the government completely controlled our everyday lives. Published in 1932, Huxley wrote the book based on his prediction of how London, his hometown, might look in the year 2540, assuming the continuance of programs to end war, conflict, suffering, and antagonistic (aka: ???free???) thought. Huxley painted a picture of what the world would look like if people were unable to speak their minds, or live how they want to, free from the confines of the multiple levels of government. Many people criticized and continue to criticize Huxley for his novel. Several seeds have been planted in the U.S., which have created alarming parallels to Huxley???s novel. The socialist and communist movements have been lurking in the shadows of America for many generations, but the movements have recently come to the forefront of the political platform. Some politicians are attempting to assign the government exclusive control of too many aspects of daily life. For example, in certain areas of Los Angeles, elected officials have created restrictions on where new fast food restaurants can and cannot establish themselves. Yes, you heard me right; the ???man??? is telling you that you can???t get a juicy hamburger and fries in South L.A., whether you like it or not. What???s worse is that state and national politicians are trying to rob you of your right to access fast and easy payday loans. Politicians want to eliminate payday loans in an attempt to win the votes of bigger corporations like banks, so they can take office and promote their self-interests. Stand up and be heard. Fight to free yourself from the government???s ever-increasing power over your daily life.

    KOOL-AID??????..From the kitchen of the obama sheeple!! take one heaping spoonful of an inexperienced elitist white male seeking self validation through exploitation of his african-american genetics. Combine two parts black liberation theology clerics spewing intolerance! With two parts of unrepentant intellectuals committed to the destruction of America. Stir in one cup of militant black wife harboring the overwhelming desire to stick it to whitey and one spoonful of typical white person grandmother mix well. Pour a gallon of anti-patriotism into tall glasses and sprinkle with naïve foreign policy ideations. Serve on a platter of meaningless oratorical hyperbole with a generous dollop of wealth re-distribution. Sprinkle liberally with zest of white guilt flip it and flop it till it tastes right. Serve large portions to the undiscerning and spellbound masses convinced that the Second Coming is upon America and now you have a complete recipe for disaster!

    I love you bible people. If God was going to come down and punish us he would have done it moments after George Bush had been sworn into office. If anything. He will be applauding us come Jan, when Barrack is sworn in!!! take your bibles, go crawl into your bunkers with your guns and wait for the end of the world!
    p.s. like George Bush wasn't the "Golden Child" fpr the last two elections? I'm sure God really loves you Republicans after what you have done to this world over the last eight years.

    Barack Obama???s dream is???Bring about real change, change that we can believe in. His passion for change is the pillar of his authentic Personal Brand. Parts of his speeches: ???America is a land of big dreamers and big hopes. It is this hope that has sustained us through revolution and civil war, depression and world war, a struggle for civil and social rights and the brink of nuclear crisis. And it is because our dreamers dreamed that we have emerged from each challenge more united, more prosperous, and more admired than before??????.The true test of the American ideal is whether we???re able to recognize our failings and then rise together to meet the challenges of our time. Whether we allow ourselves to be shaped by events and history, or whether we act to shape them. Whether chance of birth or circumstance decides life???s big winners and losers, or whether we build a community where, at the very least, everyone has a chance to work hard, get ahead, and reach their dreams???.Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek???. I don't want to settle for anything less than real change, fundamental change - change we need - change that we can believe in. It's change that I've been fighting for over two decades ago. Because those dreams - American dreams - are worth fighting for???.
    ---------------------------------
    Dream it, hope it, believe it, fix it in your mind, visualize it, accept it, respond to it with love, passion, and integrity, give your peak performance to it and you will achieve it
    ---------------------------

    Also remember this:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    no dream + no hope + no self-knowledge + no thinking + no mindset change + no integrity + no passion + no trust + no love = NO SUSTAINABLE CHANGE

More money for schools, music programs, teachers, medical clinics and food banks; less money for professional basketball, football and baseball players and Oil empires.

  • Posted By: jerryalb @ 06/18/2008 6:36:36 PM

    what I'm wondering is if Obama does win the Presidency how much does it help him to pull all this democratic talent from the Senate? I mean supposing he taps Hillary for Veep or Secretary of Health and Human services, or Dodd/Kerry/Biden for state that would take 3 Democratic Senators out of the Senate, who fills those posts? Does the state Governor pick a replacement, in that case Kerry would be a safe bet because Obama is tight with Governor Patrick

        TREASON - This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.

        The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court....so how does this apply to them?

    No senator wants to lower themselves into the position of Secretary of State, with the possible exception of Sen. Larry Craig. Kerry, Biden and Dodd will not give up their influence in the Senate to run errands on behalf of President Obama. The momentary prestige just doesn't justify the long term risk. Better to stay put and react than to be the one causing the reaction. Senators are way too comfy to want to be exposed as foolish, subservient or stupid. Mr. Obama has to go as far away as possible from the Senate to find the right person. How about a military man or a woman? Oh, thats right, Bush already did that and the results were not exactly desirable.

    From CNN's Jack Cafferty

    Don???t bet on John McCain being the next president??? that???s the message coming from several presidential scholars.

    The Politico reports these historians paint a bleak picture for the Republican candidate. They also say Barack Obama has the best chance of any Democrat perhaps since FDR beat Herbert Hoover in 1932.

    The historians say it should be ???an overwhelming Democratic victory,??? noting McCain is facing one of the worst political environments for the party in power since World War II.

    There???s also this: only twice in the 20th century did the candidate from the same party as a two-term president go on to win the White House. The last time was in 1988, when President Bush???s father replaced Ronald Reagan??? but Reagan was twice as popular as the current president is now.

  • Posted By: ravitchn@bellsouth.net @ 06/16/2008 7:04:52 PM

    Yes, it will be a bad election. McCain is definitely on the way towards senility. Obama is ebonically unsuited for presidential status. Our political leaders have given us this terrible choice. The backroom cigar-smoking pols would have done much better.

  • Posted By: whala @ 06/16/2008 6:41:41 PM

    Blah Blah Blah,

    Who really cares about this election any more? Now that BOTH parties have successfully nominated the WORST possible candidates, we can all sit back and enjoy the ride into socialism / liberalism / communism / progressivism. I sooo look forward to the soup lines. I can hardly wait.

    It would be nice if one of these clowns would actually look at the cause of our problems before plastering billion dollar government sponsored band aids on the situation. Everything these jokers come up with is certain to send us that much closer to government sponsored bankruptcy.

    This nation used to be great when it was the land of opportunity--both to succeed and to fail. The direction it is headed is to mediocrity, because we seem to want to have the opportunity to succeed, but be shielded from the opportunity to fail. Unfortunately, the laws of economics do not allow such a separation. The more you limit the opportunity for failure, the opportunity for success is also limited (all the higher tax talk on the upper class is evidence of this.) Limiting the opportunity for success ultimately leads to a lack of motivation for innovation, which is what made our nation great, and will make us a nation of lemmings who just want to go to our jobs, feeling entitled to be taken care of by the government.

    Wake up people, Government solutions are not solutions. It's up to us as citizens to show what we are made of. Electing some joker who is full of empty promises and wrong solutions is not the answer. Until we start teaching our children personal responsibility, our country will continue to deteriorate.

    All you people who falsely blame President Bush for our current economic troubles are sooo misguided, it's not even funny. Has he screwed up in many many ways? Absolutely. Has this Democratic run congress screwed up in just as many ways? Absolutely. Some day, maybe people will realize that the strength of our country lies in the strength of the people--not the government. Until we do, we are on a slippery slope.

    • Posted By: Puhfista @ 06/19/2008 10:40:32 PM

      I agree with most of your observation, except for the part "Has this Democratic run congress screwed up in just as many ways? Absolutely" The Democrats didn't take control of Congress until January 2007. Until then it was a Republican monopoly, so to say that they have screwed up just as much is a little specious. Speaking of which, it was the Republicans who got us into our current mass amount of debt by ridiculous spending. It does appear that the democrats are going to put us into more debt. No one cares about fiscal responsibility any more.

      My 2 cents.

  • Posted By: anotherview @ 06/16/2008 4:20:36 PM

    Take a look at the 2004 DNC Convention where the national media is panning to the audience during applause for Obama during his keynote speech.

    Same image, different time. Hillary was toast four years ago. No way was the boy's club let a woman lead the DNC, and the party.

    As far as Obama's cabinet, we will see a lot of familiar faces, and names. It's same old, same old politics put in a package called Barrack Hussein Obama.

    John McCain is starting to make me very nervous???Even George Wil-big GOPer-says a vote for McCain is a vote for war with IRAN-and make no mistake-JM had a call w/his fundraisers-he plans to over turn Roe V wade???this is not BO propaganda-Hill said it herself-repeatedly.

    and after reading thishttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

    I will NEVER vote for McCain. I hope I don???t upset too many PUMA???s with my opinion. I will fight for Hillary???but not for some guy whose only qualification is that he was tortured???off to print my flyers and get 25 people to this site.

    Comment: SJ, Hillary supporters have the right to explore the Puma option / site. Are Obama supporters like you THAT desperate to actually write a fake blog like you just did above and say it is something that lives on the www.blog.pumapac.org site? This is pathetic. Are Obama supporters that threatened about Obama not getting elected in the fall to resort to this tactic? Sad, very sad.: - (

    NOTE: Hillary Supporters, beware. Obama supperters are so desperate about this site ( www.blog.pumapac.org ; check it out) being available to us Hillary supporters that they are now starting to make up posts they say are on the above mentioned site; check out Posted By: sjpersonal @ 06/12/2008 6:39:00 PM blog below. SJ, shame on you.

    MY REPY: *** YOU! How DARE you accuse me of fabricating information. I have been on these boards for quite a while and have never never considered posting something that cannot be verified. Are you and your other minions so angry and pathetic in your victim role that you are unable to comprehend that someone who supports Clinton would make the choice to actually think for themselves and not follow your idiotic logic of VOTING FOR MCCAIN TO PUNISH THE US GOVERNMENT, yes I read quite a few of the posts on PUMA, and ALL OF THE MEDIA OUTLETS FOR NOT MAKING SURE THAT CLINTON WON THE NOMINATION. PHUCKING SICK! I ACTUALLY DEFENDED YOUR STUPID A$$. NEVER AGAIN.

    DONE WITH YOU!

    Massachusetts has a chance to get rid of Kerry, a senator who has done nothing but put a shine on the seat of his pants and his reputation. Now there is a possability that, should Obama become president, Kerry might get a cabinet post! Gawd help America.

      If Obama is elected in November he will need all the help he can get since he doesn't know much at all!! John Kerry would be a big help and he has been in politics long enough to know how things get done!!! Obama would need Kerry's help!!!!!!!!!!

      are you better off than you were eight years ago? Is almost 10 trillion in debt ring a bell? Does the economy matter or perhaps you are in the top 3%. Does the appointing of supreme court justices matter to you? Does 4.50 plus per gallon make a difference to you if you can eat or whether you can get to work just to eat? Does it matter to you that we are bogged down in a quagmire? Thats why...NEXT

    • Posted By: EveryoneHasBias @ 06/16/2008 1:06:01 PM

      Why? What an odd question. Even the greatest nation is not perfect. Surely you must recognize that. Our country has flaws, and although it is the greatest nation, it can always be improved. To ignore that fact is to stick your head in the sand. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive, as you seem to believe.

      • Posted By: marksgershenson @ 06/16/2008 5:04:36 PM

        Everything is mutually inclusive. Example gas for work, or food? If you can't afford gas, how do you go to work to obtain food? Our country is heading for recession. or already in one depending who you are speaking to... We are in a quagmire. If a person in the top economic braket, none of the questions I asked below would apply.

        My point is, when thinking about your vote, all of those things plus many more must be considered when you consider a candidate. The hysteria of the comment below mine indicated to me that the person was not thinking thoroughly, rather emotionally...The very last comment led me to state the questions was"he has no clue" is worrisome and naive statement.

        When you vote, you want to be prepared to make a wise decison, regardless of whom is chosen....

    He's about to be out of his Senate Job. He's got competition for the first time in 24 years and it's looking really good for the competition. John Kerry sees the writing on the wall and is looking for a different gig.

  • Posted By: MarkDavid @ 06/15/2008 12:01:28 PM

    The people of these great United States told Kerry in 2004 "we do not want you", go away. After his endorsement of Obama...........the people of the great state of Massachusuetts told Kerry, "yeh right" and voted for Clinton.

    I don't get after so many people telling you to go away, why does he not listen. So let me say it again.

    Senator Kerry.............please, please, please stop trolling for a job and just go away. Your wife has enough money to keep you.

    • Posted By: EveryoneHasBias @ 06/16/2008 1:12:12 PM

      Actually, only a little over half of the people of these great United States told Kerry in 2004, "We do not want you. Go away." The rest said, "Hey John, please be our president." To read your post, one might get confused and think he got something like 10% of the vote. And the people of MA voted how they pleased. Generally, endorsements make little impact on elections, whether by John Kerry or anyone else.

  • Posted By: tommyd @ 06/15/2008 9:24:44 AM

    John Kerry went to Nam with a camera & pen in hand with the intentions of glorifying his "War Experience". 100 bucks says he wrote up his own recommendations for his "Awards" with the assistance of some senior officer that he sucked up to for that very purpose.

      Superdelegates do not have to vote the same way a majority of the primary voters in their party vote, otherwise there would be no need for them.

      • Posted By: sharenews @ 06/15/2008 8:17:33 PM

        There will be no such thing as superdelegates in the 2012 election. If there are, Obamas push for change which is needed with the democratic process will be gone. I was disgusted with Kerry voting the way he did when MA overwhelming voted for Hillary. I wouldnt vote for Obama if he was on the ticket. But then, I dont think it will happen anyways. Webb is a good choice, but he might outshine Obama.

    Yeah like Kerry McCain's file is sealed, though he did that in the last year. What is he hiding, why is McCain acting like John Kerry? Is it a "John" thing? Why are McCains files sealed? Is he hiding that fact the he did 32 propaganda films for the VC, or the fact that the VC code name for McCain was "Song Bird" because as soon as they captured him, after ONLY 20hrs of combat, he sang like a bird and cooperated and cried out my daddy is an Admiral, is it that fact the other Aemricans held in the same camp at the same time as McCain say there was NO TORTURE?
    Could it be any of those FACTS that caused him to seal the records? So while we wait for John Kerry's files to be opened, we should ask for Mccains too, don't ya think?

    • Posted By: Galasso @ 06/15/2008 8:25:07 AM

      If you ever get the opportunity, sit down and talk to one of the POWs who spent time in the Hanoi Hilton. I was in the Army during and after Vietnam and some of my leaders were WWII, Korean and Vietnam POWs and they were the finest men with whom I served. To a man - all of them had a different perpsective on life after they were rescued or released and they were an inspiration to us. One thing no one ever talks about is how many of them died in captivity. In the early 1970's, the Joint Casualty Resolution Center flew another C-141 to Hanoi after the POWs were released to bring back many many remains of the POWs who couldn't manage the day to day existence, disease, and bad treatment and perished in the North Vietnamese prison and were buried in simple graves behind the prison. How could you possibly repeat something as accusatorial and unfounded about this man unless you knew it as an absolute fact? How do you think you would have done?

      • Posted By: HDavidson @ 06/15/2008 5:34:13 PM

        I have an uncle who is a POW sir. And the statements made are based on the eyewitness accounts of 2 American commanders that were in the same camp as McCain at the same time, NO TORTURE, and he was a song bird. The Man (used loosely) was and is a COWARD! I have no respect for him, his sons or the fained attempt at service. If he was a real "soldier" he would have been a foot soldier, not a kid burning ants with a magnifying glass. He was a terrible pilot and it cost him, that is all, NO HERO, just a sorry pilot who got dropped, and as soonas he was recovered, he cried "Admiral". He has sealed his records for GOOD reason. Kerry had nothing to hide and look at what "swift boating" did to him, McCain has, not a closet, but a warehouse full of skeletons and he knows it. Sir if you look you will find the truth about a man (lol) calling himself a "hero". It is an insult to people who actually did commit heroic acts, and selfless deeds.
        My entire family, for generations has served this country, in every war we've ever fought, I do not come from a mere liberal "I HATE WAR" background, My son is still in Iraq fighting McBush's "WAR FOR OIL" while McCain's son has been and is home.
        Hope that clears some of your concerns ;)

        • Posted By: sjpersonal @ 06/16/2008 12:25:46 PM

          Hi HD, my dad did two tours in vietnam. My uncle was a POW for a year and is still suffering from nightmares. God Bless all of them even McCain. Though I do not agree with any of his policies and believe him to be a morally corrupt human being, my personal opinon, I would not wish that type of existence on anyone, friend or enemy.

        • Posted By: Nins @ 06/15/2008 9:27:47 PM

          I agree with you, HD. I come from a Navy family, and the fact that McCain graduated 894th out of a class of 899 cadets has always been a laughingstock among Navy insiders, where class rank controls your entire career. He flunked out of Annapoiis, and even with the Admirals in his family, he would have never been accepted as an officer if it hadn't been war time. We desperately needed warm bodies, so we took his sorry butt to Vietnam, and the rest is history.

          The men in my family have also fought for the USA WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, all of them Navy. My brother spent six years in Vietnam. I know what POW trauma looks and acts like. I honor the US military. But anyone who looks at McCain's service record has to admit that he is no war hero, even though his years as a POW are tragic. McCain himself wrote in his autobiography that he collaborated with the enemy. Collaborating with the enemy is TREASON. I don't hold this against him personally, Lord knows what any
