I gaveup everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because thedoctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs butthey never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me makingit worse. I was doing some research online someday when Icame across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhotacured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thoughtit was a joke but later decided to contact him on the detailsprovided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent mehis herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after twoweeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I wasNEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DREbhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep ontelling the world about you.

Her post follows similiar ones by Charles Johnson and Andrew Sullivan, from other starting points. She doesn't talk at all about becoming pro-life, anti-science, anti-estate tax, or any of that. I think what she means is, "please don't group me with the people who I think of when I say liberal: Tom Hayden, Kos, Arianna." Johnson and Sullivan are sick of so-called cconservatives who are overwedded to their "team," and refuse to accept even the possibilty their principles might not apply in the purest form.<br /><br />Anyway, where do you get the idea that her basic starting positions have changed? She's saying her exact application of those principles has changed with the circumstances, where many others (in her view and mine) are showing inflexibility and a facile, aggressively defensive application of ideology in a eff'd up world. <br /><br />Perhaps it's the super-identified liberals & progressives who are showing a cultishness? Or maybe they're gonna be proved right. None of it means Obama wants to kill as many non-whites as he can to cash in for his moneyed masters. Correct?WiseGuisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498518837567919398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682056367419528844.post-64814793717140521402009-12-09T17:02:14.263-05:002009-12-09T17:02:14.263-05:00Virgil, I would very much like to contact you for ...Virgil, I would very much like to contact you for our radio show, LIVE FROM THE LEFT COAST.

At a critical junction in this nation's history, liberals and moderates elect a President we thought would reverse the ways of GWB (endless war, corporate ownership of Congress, etc). Now with a Democratic President and a majority in both houses, we expect real change and that's NOT what we're getting. So if voting for the lesser of two evils gets the progressive agenda exactly nowhere, I might as well be voting my conscience...most likely Green Party. I certainly won't be rewarding the betrayal of liberals with a vote for "Democrats" in 2010.RobertMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960912417983904202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682056367419528844.post-35571567908787828812009-12-09T13:58:36.565-05:002009-12-09T13:58:36.565-05:00Virgil, you are right on!!Virgil, you are right on!!Virginianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682056367419528844.post-64728879048424629952009-12-09T12:27:00.961-05:002009-12-09T12:27:00.961-05:00Wiseguys, you really don't seem to understand ...Wiseguys, you really don't seem to understand what Suzi is saying. She's saying she's no longer a liberal. That's very different from saying she's disgusted with the sniping from Hayden and Parenti, sick of the Huffington Post or even sick of the Democratic Party. She's saying she's changed her basic political principles solely because people on the left, some of whom are so far left I would not call them "liberals", are attacking Obama. But apparently she still supports Obama - so she thinks Obama is no longer a liberal? C'mon, Suzi's post is just incoherent and nonsensical.

Unfortunately, it's a trick. The rhetoric doesn't match the actions, as has always been the case with Obama - simply spend a few minutes analyzing his record, his actual decisions and actions, e.g. Af-Pak expansion, complete lack of push for single-payer, failure to close Guantanamo, etc., and the only logical and intellectually honest conclusion is that Obama is, in fact, yet another in a long line of capital-imperialist American presidents. No matter how heart-wrenching the pensive, thoughtful black and white photographs of Leader Obama tortuously mulling over his options may seem, or how long it took him to decide, the fact of the matter is that <i>he doesn't care</i>. He doesn't care about how many Afghanis will die, be injured, go hungry, or lose their homes as a result of the extension of the illegal occupation stemming from the American war of aggression against Afghanistan. He doesn't care about the American soldiers that will have their lives irreparably ruined for absolutely no reason other than the protection of a pipeline and the interests of the empire. He just doesn't care. Few presidents ever have. They are the embodiment of the capital-imperialist system, of all the callousness and barbarousness of the "free market," the protectors of the wealthy that have raped the people and the land for hundreds and hundreds of years; why would any president care?<br /><br />The fight between "left" and "right" over Obama is awe-inspiring in its ability to distract well-meaning people from *real* events, real actions, real discussion. It's a fight that contains no factual information whatsoever and can never be won or lost except in the minds of the most distraught. When you fight about whether or not Obama is a wimp, whether he likes the war or not, that he had no choice, he had to send troops, you're falling into the trap laid by the establishment in order to protect and justify itself. The system is invalid, it fails to represent the majority, it breeds inequality and suffering, yet nobody is talking about replacing the system, as you're all too caught up in the fallacy of the relevance of the presidency. What's stopping Obama from stopping the war - all wars, in fact? It's not politics. It's not congress, it's not the media or the "left" or "right." What could possibly be preventing the most powerful man in the world from making the most morally honest decision in the world and simply ending the war? (Hint: he doesn't want it to end.) And why isn't that the discussion? Are we so far gone that we can't even recognize the simple moral truisms that murder, theft and rape are abhorrent and that in every facet of our lives we should struggle to abolish all forms of injustice, including the ultimate injustice, war itself?<br /><br />Make it a real discussion. Talk to people about things that actually matter, like what kind of world we want to live in, regardless of its current manifestation. It's difficult to break free, to work and think outside the establishment dogma, but it's completely necessary. Progress is impossible without a realization and acceptance of the real conditions of today and the possible world of tomorrow. Forget about Obama, there's more worth fighting about, and he'll never fight for it for you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741946867909498140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682056367419528844.post-39825701252851863162009-12-09T07:57:27.533-05:002009-12-09T07:57:27.533-05:00It's like, "The stakes are so high, we ca...It's like, "The stakes are so high, we can't compromise on ideals.

Wow, that's not a lot of faith you allow in anyone but your exact fellow travellers.

I am so tired of idealists who have no faith in anyone but themselves, yet imagine we should skip middle steps in actual governance, hold out hope for the progressive rapture, and yell while holding our breathes in protest.
