THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Why Obama-McCain race deserves 'historic' label

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama often tells voters that the 2008 election is "a defining moment in history." Candidates usually think their particular race is historic, but in this case, it actually is.

Voters themselves feel they are standing at a watershed moment, whether Democrat, Republican or the dwindling conflicted few still undecided two days before the end of a two-year campaign. Half say they are scared of what might happen should the wrong man win.

Historic because

chillyphantom

Historic because neither one is the right choice for Americans. You are being presented with the choice of the devil behind door number 1 or the devil behind door number 2.

You get a pretty good glimpse of the devil behind door number one becasue he wears it all on his shirt sleeves.

You can't really tell how bad the devil behind door number two is because he is so slick and polished. He just looks like the obvious choice.

This event is historic because no matter what America does, it won't benefit them in the way they expect it. If the 11th Congress looks like a turncoat party, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Your options aren't as good as they appear.

This event is historic because what follows, eventually, will be an all out American civil war.
