Prime Necessity Cuts to the Core of Words

Pondering the imponderable
This morning I was blocked by
someone who thinks
President Obama bodes catastrophe'
I see two areas only
where this could be true
1. If the unintended consequence
of our move toward drones and Seals
spawns retaliation that escalates
to catastrophe
2. If the penchant for secrecy and security
is so paranoid that tormenting folk
like Bradley Manning is deemed patriotic
In both of these areas I am reasonably confident
that the GOP would offer little or no
positive alternatives
In the case of drones-SEALS
I see this as a necessary and positive
move past ground wars
but as highly risky in prospect
We must act in a way that renders
any attack on us unjust
That is a hard needle's eye to thread
In the case of paranoia and Bradley Manning
the President could evolve and allay things
with the stroke of a pen
I am pondering two imponderables
First are the catastrophes I mention
possible
The answer is yes.
Second should this mute my support
for the President
My answer is no
But I would also say that the person who blocked me
had every right to do so because one could hold
an opposing view
with exactly the strength that I employ to
maintain my support of President Obama

If you think Romney does not represent risk
Mitt Romney, American Parasite - Page 1 - News - New York - Village Voice: "When Bain purchased the mill, Sanderson says, change was immediate. Equipment upgrades stopped. Maintenance became an afterthought. Managers were replaced by people who knew nothing about steel. The union's profit-sharing plan was sliced twice in the first year—then whacked altogether.
"When Bain Capital took over, it seemed like everything was being neglected in our plant," Sanderson says. "Nothing was being invested in our plant. We didn't have the necessary time to maintain our equipment. They had people here that didn't know what they were doing. It was like they were taking money from us and putting it somewhere else.""

To tackle the deficit
all things must be on the table
and the savings must be real and long term
To generate the income necessary to
pay down the debt
we badly need more stimulus now
particularly to rehire all those cops
and teachers laid off during the
Almost Depressiuon
These thing said
we have the spectacle of the GOP
under their Big Lie
of Deficit Reduction
1. Refusing to raise taxes
2. Robbing Peter to Pay Paul
3. Refusing compromise period
GOP deficit talk is phony
We will tackle the deficit only when both sides agree
Until then we are gambling against the clock
Conclusion
The GOP may be fomenting a Second Great Depression

Jesus has nothing to do with the nuclear family. He was in the forgiving business. He was in the following Abba business. Love and loyalty are what they are regardless of their context. That is what he stood for. He would have skewered today's hypocrisies and religious posturing.
