Democrats need 180 degree reverse!

Our majority vote was cancelled! The neutralizing of the 2006 and 2008 majority vote occurred when Obama selected Rahm Emanuel ( think ultimate insider responsible for dissing Howard Dean, selecting Blue Dogs and a staunch supporter of AIPC) and Geithner & Summers (think the guys who engineered the financial crisis). Obama owns these selections. These choices put the administration of "hope and change" in the middle of politics as usual (think political decisions controlled by the desire to stay in Washington until you are as old as Strom Thurmond). With huge donations from medical corporations and the banks/Wall Street our empowered Democrats forgot who put them in the majority. They proceeded to anger the voters on both sides by catering to the banks and ignoring the needs of the people. If Obama and the Democratic members of Congress can see past their personal interests to the extreme need to create jobs and knock the banks and Wall Street down to manageable size they may have a chance to hold onto their jobs and actually help the nation. If they don't do a 180 reversal the collection of gun carrying, "No New Tax" groups will have their way. Screams of "you are stealing my freedoms" and "Socialism" and race baiting come from ignorance but the underlying anger is understandable. We either reverse course or end up with a very mean spirited group of sadly confused violent people in charge of our country. What is it going to be???

Israel Zionists are the real terrorists

Israel has ignored over a hundred UN resolutions regarding the occupation of Palestinian land. Isreal, with the complicity of both political parties in the United States, has extended settlements into Palestinian land, stolen farms and forced Palestinians to leave their homes. Israel has ignored democratic elections in Palestine because Hamas won. Israel has fenced in Gaza and is now killing Palestinian civilians using the argument that Hamas sends rockets into Israel. An occupied people who have been starved, murdered and militarilly boxed in by their occupiers has an obligation to fight for their land. Whatever argument is given by Israel is offset by the fact they are occupying and terrorizing a people who have legitimate claim to the land illegally settled by Israel. The level of brutality used by Israel is clearly state terrorism. Palestinians use of rockets or suicide bombers are the only weapons they have against the US provided military might of Israel. The US turns it's head and refuses to support UN efforts for a cease fire. The US is complicit in and supporter of this state terrorism. All people concerned about human rights must condemn the Gaza war and the treatment and occupation of Palestine by Israel and it's ally the United States. Are we blind in America or simply locked into a cultural and religious ideology that keeps us from seeing the vicious nature of Israeli Zionism. People fighting for their land kill 14 Jews. The occupier who controls food, oil, electricity and access kills 34 children in a school with one of the thousands of bombs dropped on Gaza and this "Christian" nation looks the other way.
