Wednesday in the Age of Reason-Munchausen (1988)

Third-wayers are Republican-lite who are not mentally ill like their Republican-heavy allies are.

Third Way has nothing to offer anyone who considers themselves an American Democrat.

Third Way is a shill for the corporates who are not American in any patriotic way.

There is nothing at all fresh in “Third Way” approaches. Republicans from the 1950s would be very comfortable with them.

Including its incredible “whiteness”.

contain, by my count, 49 photos. Containing a grand total 2 photos containing of 3 African Americans. [one is Obama which hardly counts]

Class pictures tell us about the class.

“Did Mr. Daley have anything to say about all of the American factories that closed or the millions of American jobs that were lost because he pushed NAFTA through Congress,” Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs asked. Third Way supports President Obama’s highly controversial TPP agreement.

All that money “blown” with no thing to show for it except a lot of graves.

I call it “at-will slavery”. You can be fired for any reason or no reason. You are at-will.  The employer’s will. Corporate will. The Borg’s will. This is in the US, the country claiming to be the land of the free. Free of what or free to do what is never itemized.

In China the employer needs a reason to fire you.

Who is more “free” workers in the US or the PRC?

Who is more “free” employers in the US or the PRC?

“China is not an at-will employment jurisdiction; you need a good reason to fire someone. But China typically allows a probationary period where termination is considerably easier.”

in differing guises. They are “fact free” and “law free” holders of official powers.

Kobach should be prosecuting the individuals responsible for suspending “legally registered to vote” individuals if he wants to claim to be consistent and law abiding. We know he’s just another lunatic in office.

At a time when the US is operating long term jails for the non-guilty on land taken, at gun point, from the Cubans, and regularly engaging in wars of aggression, the advice offered here by Mr. Cohen qualifies as rank hypocrisy.

The “self-proclaimed” international law is an invention of the European West and the USG hasn’t been much of a “law abiding citizen” of international law. Ask the Hawaiians, the Filipinos, the Haitians, any Central American, the Vietnamese, the Cambodians, the Laotians, and on, and on, and on…

Ask Huntington.

The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World OrderThe Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order by Samuel P. Huntington

“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”
“In the emerging world of ethnic conflict and civilizational clash, Western belief in the universality of Western culture suffers three problems: it is false; it is immoral; and it is dangerous.”
― Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
