"The mind, once enlightened, cannot again become dark."
Thomas Paine

A sensible, pragmatic, intelligent President, that has been my realized hope. Despite all justifiable reason to sink to the despair of cynicism, that through some fluke of fortune, he desires to continue to put himself through the vitriolic and uninformed hate directed at him, and asks us for another four years to dedicate himself to this nation during an era of uncertainty, at a time of universal upheaval, it would be at our own peril would America deny him this opportunity.

V. On the Degradation of Discourse in American Politics, with Brief Remarks on the Current State of Affairs in Our Nation.

Originally Posted to Facebook.

Some have so confounded truth with politics, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas, they are not only different, but at odds with one another. Truth is reality, used to POSITIVELY promote our collective knowledge, politics NEGATIVELY segregate us by suggesting or questioning conclusions based on our understanding of the truth. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a uniter, the last a divider.

Keith might have made the mistake of not following specific contract rules, and perhaps he should be suspended for not following those rules, but that is no reason for him to be permanently banished. He has done some great work for this nation. He must be defended at this time.

Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think, but such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, — and all it wants, — is the liberty of appearing.
Thomas Paine

A Message to Progressives
How bad could it be? I would much rather our government be discussed real issues than continuing the petty bickering that has become the norm. I would much rather see a House working for truth than for Impeaching Obama. I would much rather have an intelligent discussion about the Federal Reserve, Government Regulations, Infrastructure, and Currency than having the normal petty discussions we see by the establishment Republicans in congress. Well, either way, it's only two years. How bad could it be?

This election is a choice between moving forward or back. The choice is yours, but don't be misled by those out to benefit from your misunderstandings.
Let Election Day 2010 be the start of the restoration of common sense to American society.

I think Kramer and President Obama can better demonstrate and articulate, respectively, the benefits of using common sense than any words can, so watch this video I made for that end - YouTube: Vote With Common Sense.
I have posted this on my Thomas Paine Facebook Page, which has an assortment of users from different political ideologies. Feel free to join the discussion there too.

Let's hope that on Tuesday America demonstrates our ability to use common sense.

President Obama's Quarterly Approval Ratings stand at 44.7%
We need to bring back some common sense to this nation.

This moment in modern American history is revolutionary. In 2008, a black man with a funny sounding name was elected President of these United States. He was elected by the people, not by a political party’s insiders or by a wealthy family or by having deep connections to the establishment. He was elected by people from across this nation who deeply believed that he could be the transforming President that could unite our nation after begin deeply divided for at least the past 30 years.

The 2003/2004 President Campaign of Howard Dean was a great inspiration to many throughout this nation during some of its darkest hours. This pamphlet outlined the hope Howard Dean’s campaign provided to a nation in distress and offered a way forward to restore America to its glory envisioned by Thomas Paine and the founders of America at the start of this nation.

Sometimes, it takes a crisis to create the opportunity to fix a wrong in society.

The Great State of New York is currently facing a nearly $10 billion dollar budget gap. A budget which is required to be signed into law on April 1 has yet to be passed. The financial problems are so massive, and this being an election year, those elected to represent us in New York are doing all they can not to upset the voters by being responsible for massive cuts in services or increasing taxes, leaving the state without a budget for three weeks. Most gimmicks and accounting tricks have been used up in previous months, and even if gimmicks are used to get this budget passed, real financial problems for the state could still happen as soon at June, according to the state comptroller. Creating new sources of revenue is exactly what New York wants to and needs to do to address the state's fiscal problems.

Just out of curiosity, though it has killed the cat more than once, is this liberal, progressive audience at Daily Kos pro or against the idea of Big Brother? During the Bush years, I was under the impression that this was a real fear, from the Patriot Act, illegal rendition, secret or military trials, and remember DARPA's Total Information Awareness program?
