Jail Rush Limpburger

Just kidding. Jailing that sleaze would mean we'd have to support his drug habit.

But if I were Obama, federal marshals would arrest anyone carrying a gun to a rally, and anyone paid by the right-wing to disrupt it; put them in cages, like at Guantanamo, and interview them on live TV, put them on Youtube.

Dispassionate interviewer: "Sir, you carried an M-16 assault rifle to a political speech. Can you explain why?" Bubba: "I'll carry it any damn place I please. The second amendment gives me that right".
D.i.: "And can you explain what you were going to do with it"?
Bubba: "Hell, it warn't even loaded, at least I thunk so...before it went off"

HEALTH CARE seems not an urgent problem for those who already have it.

Our insanely crazy system of health care is definitely not seen as a problem by insurance companies and corporate hospitals, who arrogantly raise rates 10% per year and waste loads of money on "DUMB-CARE" like treating preventable problems in the emergency room, and failing to do preventive medicine (but then cost-shifting onto the public the much higher cost of paying for treating the results!).

President Obama has made an important start toward kicking Big Drug and Corporate Hospital out of our wallets.

But he can't do it without support. Even though money alone is not enough, a well-funded campaign means that people pay attention; and if you join up with the president's website, you will become part of the "virtual army" of supporters who are trying to deal with this problem, and trying to cut through the hypocritical liars (Just today was uncovered another right-wing Republican liar, who, while espousing "family values", thinks nothing of bedding lobbyists for the very special interests that are looting our country and our state).

Please join up with the president's website.

On Aug. 13, I was at a move-on event on the boardwalk in Santa Monica; despite good displays, visible signs, two EVs parked next to the sand, speakers, sandcastle "coal plants", the crowd numbered less than 50 for this "giant rally". The "choir" was there, but the "congregation" didn't care! Thousands walked by, ignoring it, walking around the EVs and displays; untold thousands of others spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours on a completely stupid spectacle in the desert, hundreds of miles from anywhere that counts. Sure, they may be renewed, by all the drugs and naked dancing; but they don't care much about health care or clean energy. But if no one cares about oil refineries, oil pollution, oil wars, dirty coal, there isn't much hope for lesser problems.

The "burning man" idiocy reminds me of the corporate Harley riders, who own a $35,000 Harley and go to Sturgis: but they get the bike shipped to a nearby city, because although they like to ride in like tough outlaw bikers, they don't really want to get their butt sore, it would spoil the swagger as they posture with the other flakes.

To quote an old Sextus Empiricus scholar and teacher, it's not the malefactors who create the worst of the evil; it's INDIFFERENCE, the masses who turn their back on the issues, who enable the evildoers, who think it's someone else's turn to care. It was indifference that sealed the fate of the Democrats, Socialists, Communists, intellectuals, clerics and Liberals who were jailed by Hitler in 1933 (yes, the Jews and Gypsies were latecomers, the political foes were locked up for 10 years longer, and no one cared or even knew, hundreds of thousands of them, and most "disappeared" like pesky Zeks).

JOIN UP with the president! We finally have a guy who is trying to do something, don't let it go.

Health care is just one of the big problems that are destroying America; Big Oil, Big Coal, the Lobbyists who are perverting and paralyzing our political system (YES, we should IMO be riding them out of town on a rail, tar and feather them, not allow them to continue!), Big Corporations with unregulated power, Multi-nationals that are stealing our good jobs, bogus "Educational Theorists" who mucked up our schools to reap BILLIONS for idiotic "lesson plans" that don't work and then get hired at $200/hour to fix the problem that they created, and on and on. That would be extreme, to run the thieves, lobbyist crooks, paid counter-protesters and tea-party fakers out of town on a rail. But it has a certain appeal.

However, the president is only asking for your support,
a gentle plea for cash and your virtual approval:
