judgeboyajian's blogCNN Regurgitates Republican War Poison
Watching CNN late at night makes your realize how correct the New York Times is in reporting that the news network’s ratings are in the toilet as you watch these blasé talking heads blindly regurgitate poisonous Republican claims that the situation with the dissident in China is a humiliation to President Obama.
E.U. Model For Asia
The time is right for an E.U. style union in Asia. The sluggish global economy makes it a good time for building economic unions because political leaders are apt to be open minded to possibilities that will improve their economies.
Rising Tide Against Conservatism
The tide continues to rise worldwide against conservatism. The swell began last year with the Occupy Wall Street movement and has now been caught up by European voters eager to break the yoke of severe austerity. Even Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is tacking to the left saying recently that his fondest memories are of vacationing in Paris, the city of light that is a pariah to those on the right.
The Judeo-Christian Tradition: A Unified Approach
We have spoken before of developing a unified world religion or at least one where people can pick and choose aspects of different religions that appeal to themselves in their spiritual quest. The question is where to start with unification. What will the first step be? The answer lies in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The holiest day for Christians is Easter with attention also being paid to certain days prior to Easter like Good Friday.
Going It Alone
It is obvious from the Supreme Court audio of the conservative justices’ questioning of the healthcare law that the country is hopelessly divided. Its conservative red states against moderate blue states, those who believe in science and those who do not, those who believe in helping humanity and those who do not, those who believe in peace and those who do not, those who believe in education and those who do not, those who believe in equality for all and those who do not.
The Decline and Fall of Corporate States
It is no secret that conservatives want to turn America over to the corporations making it a corporate state. They have been enabled in their plot by the conservatives on the Supreme Court who handed down the infamous Citizens United case giving corporations financial control over America’s political process.
What Conservatives Want the World to Look Like
You can learn what conservatives want the world to look like by visiting the Prado in Madrid and viewing the Bosch painting there which shows people being violently punished for eating a strawberry, playing music, drinking and having sex, in general having fun and being brutally punished for enjoying life.
Boycott Florida
Americans should boycott major attractions in Florida like Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World so that these corporations will bring pressure on politicians in that state in order to bring about change to what is now institutional violence against blacks which has now come to a head with the killing of teenager Trayvon Martin and the lack of attention paid by local police to this crime.
Now The Conservatives Are Killing Our Teenagers
The killing of this teenager in Florida is really affecting me perhaps because I see so much of myself as a teen in his last moments. Remember being a teenager on a spring like day just walking in the rain smelling the sweet air celebrating life a life and future that stood before you like a shining city of hope where the whole world was your oyster. There you are just walking in the rain with a bag of candy and an ice tea when suddenly a vigilante attacks you. You screa
Parade or Religious Procession
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade took a new turn this week when this year’s grand marshal stated that the parade was about Irish culture “and religion,” making the parade into some type of religious procession throwing into doubt the legality of having public institutions march in a country where there is a separation of church and state.
Of the Many, One
I write these blogs not as the citizen of a world superpower but as an ordinary citizen of the world. I don’t see a world mired in war but a future of peace and prosperity where national borders are seamless with all people sharing one roof.
The Tectonic Plates of the New Global Identities
An Op-ed in the New York Times alleged that the French are dispirited over the loss of their identity. This question of a loss of national identity is nothing to fear but rather the signal that the world is moving into a new age where past identities are giving way to new ones.
How Conservatives Murdered God
Well it started over 2,000 years ago during the Roman Empire when conservatives threatened by the teachings of Jesus conspired to kill him by nailing him to a cross.
Direct Democracy Now
The Capitol Building in Washington should be dismantled and a park filled with flowers built in its place. Its halls are filled mostly with the moral misfits of the nation who without their jobs in Congress would be mopping floors in their local prison.
We Will Fight No More Forever
Thomas Cahill explains in Sailing the Wine Dark-Sea that in classical times there was a tension between the Greeks and their Roman overlords with the Greeks embittered by their lower status when compared to the Romans who were of an inferior culture. On the other hand the Romans, though proud of their status as conquerors, tried to sooth the Greeks by adopting their culture wholesale. It was sort of like the dichotomy that exists between Americans and the French and other Europeans.
