they're all important issues, but not the way they're being politicized.

• gay marriage (an issue that has been invented to distract conservative christians from more traditional christian ethic)

• bullying. (an issue that is going to be used as a pretext to censor online communication- like child porn)

• this is going to be the divide and conquer strategy of the millenium. race wars.

• the war on women is another conservative vs liberal red herring. Much like the gay marriage issue, it's intentionally the moderate victimization of a group so they can take all of our rights while we argue about it.

• starve the beast. the roadmap to debt laden austerity. Spend a ton of money on wars and bullshit so there isn't enough money to keep a safety net under the poor.

• U3- the official unemployment, doesn't account for people who have been out of work for longer than a year, college grads working minimum wage or part time jobs. When they say there has been a net gain in jobs this month, it's often because many jobless people have crossed that 1 year threshold. They still don't have jobs, but they don't go into the U3 statistic. The real Unemployment statistic is the U6, which closer to 23% in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment#United_States_Bureau_of_Labor_Statistics

• Of course there are humanitarian issues! They are being used right now, however, as a pretext for NATO to recolonize a very large region of africa. I'm not going to go into it, but this is what's going on. Do a google search if you're interested in the politics there.

• That Achmidinijad quote about Israel is a misquote, but I'm not going to go into Israeli/Iranian politics, suffice it to say that there is no actionable evidence that Iran will have a nuclear weapon in the next ten years.

• Obama isn't going to talk about TSA proceedures. He's going to talk about nasty terrorists. That's a pretext to more screening. Here's an article from two hours ago about him talking about the Alqueda terror threat in Yemen. One of the countries the Neo cons were planning to invade pre-911 http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/10/us-usa-security-plot-obama-idUSBRE8490SW20120510

• I'm not qualified to question the science of global warming, but my presumption about the warm spell this winter was that solar flares may have played a role. There is a lot of money to be made from the "global warming threat".

• i was using this as a republican talking point, but regardless of who is in office we are going to be heading towards higher taxes on the middle and lower classes. It's the Fabian way!

• I'm confused here. you seem to be an Obamabot, but you're saying that the taxes on the rich are too high? I'm gonna chalk that up to a typo. In any case, i'm not suggesting the ultra rich pay enough taxes, I'm suggesting that Warren Buffet coming out and talking about how he should pay more taxes is going to be used to justify someone making $70k a year paying more taxes. This is my supposition anyway.

• Again- not saying it isn't an important issue, but it's ussed as a disctraction issue so we don't realize what is going on with our foreign policy and economy.
