It has long been my opinion that Chiistianity is easily adapted to and coopted into Marxism/socialism. It preaches a type of social servitude that can be gathered, institutionalized and eventually imposed by government. In the "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" business it instigates class hatred and resentment of those who prosper through effort. In its exhortation for unconditional love and not being judgmental it pushs people toward a condition of dangerous denial in which the basic corruption beneath the surface slogans of socialism are not recognized.
In my opinion George Bush exhibits a strong component of Christian Marxism. He is determined, for instance, to love Islam as a peaceful religion, when it is not. He issues statements that the wealth of the United States must be shared with other nations. He bears the mark of successful implementation of the theories here attributed to Gramsci.
Howl in protest over what I have said here, but it's the way the dice roll.
Huxley had probably learned from Orwell, who had caught on to this in the 40's and 50's (Animal Farm, 1984, of course).
All we need to do is kill a few million more "unenlightened" people, and it will be sure to work this time...
Tailgunner Joe thanks for posting this article.
I have links to a few other articles posted on FR.

Howl in protest over what I have said here, but it's the way the dice roll.
I won't go "Howlin" in protest. What you said was dead on right.
It sure is. PC is Marxist mind control. It strikes a very real fear in a person for speaking their mind while rewarding conformity of thought. If PC is not stamped out soon, in the next generation Marxism will never be questioned because it will be a way of life in America and the world.
Additionally, these officials are inclined more and more towards the elevation of abominations such as homosexual and illicit heterosexual unions to the same level as marriage. Already, in many localities throughout the country and in numerous private corporations, benefits previously reserved to married couples are now granted to unmarried sexual "partners." Even the word "family" is slowly being superseded by the vague euphemism "household."
The CP/USA is not the communist party in our country. The communist party in America is the Democratic Party and its leader is not Daschle or Gephardt. It is Hillary Clinton. Those who maintain, with breezy self-assurance, that communism is dead or dying upon the ash heap of history do not know of what they speak.
If you want to, hit my FR homepage for some of Coyotes finest works.
As I find myself with some time on my hands, I think I'll repost a few of them just kind of for the hell of it.
I believe you're mistaken. I suspect that our president knows Islam for what it is, but is determined to pursue a foreign policy inoffensive to Islam-dominated foreign powers, so as to isolate our present enemies. The alternative is to face open war against a coalition of Islamic states... a quite likely scenario for a hypothetical WWIII.
It's best to not go there, if we can help it.
When Soviet-style communism collapsed of its own weight, most of those populations continued on. I have a hunch if we wait for this Gramscian model to disintegrate, there won't be many people left to put the pieces back together.
You Just Did! Excellent Post Platero. You have a very profound understanding of PC and the insidious ongoing Culture War being waged by the Marxists in our midst.
PC started out as a euphemism for intimidation that has evolved into a modern day form of doublethink, in which the mind of the individual is manipulated (through fear and intimidation) whereby the person is no longer saying what he thinks (classical doublethink), but he thinks the oppositeof what is true. PC forces the individual to surrender his independence of thought, critical thinking process and integrity completely, so that 1 + 2 = 5 or slavery is freedom. The person at this point feels free because he no longer feels any discrepancy between what is true and what what is untrue.
The PC process keeps on evolving and engulfing the whole Western civilization, and it won't reach its apex until it culminates into an era of dehumanization and alienation, not until the individual acts and behaves like an automaton, like a machine, completely devoid of righteousness and sense of guilt.
This should be posted annually on FR.
What You Should Know About Progressives
Once upon a time there lived a noted Italian communist named Antonio Gramsci who had major problems with how Karl Marx hoped to achieve his communist goals. Gramsci believed that using violent revolution to achieve their goal was the wrong way to go about it in literate western societies like the U.S. because they would not support violence to the degree necessary to take over the control of the government. Instead he came up with a new scheme to achieve the goal. His ideas were so contrary to the fascist government of Italy that he spent most of his adult life as a political prisoner where he and his philosophy became a cult figure to the European communists and many U.S. politicians and the so-called intelligentsia of our colleges and universities.
So how come we havent heard much about him? Well it is just not politically expedient to mention the name of a noted communist but many of his ideas have become a major goal of the Democratic Party insiders who have discussed and adopted many of these ideas in closed door sessions among the party elite and have become in vogue among the leftist. Balderdash, you say? Ok, lets look at some of those ideas that Gramsci had and how they have become successful in the U.S. today.
Gramsci understood what Marx did not understand, that economic crises by themselves would not subvert capitalism, because capitalism always managed to overcome the crises and emerge stronger. Gramsci realized the importance of culture and ideology among the masses of western society. By using methods such as the mass media which were subtle and persuasive you could gain the minds of the people and if you had the minds you would also have the bodies.
Gramsci knew that the bond between the rulers and the ruled was what keeps western society together and this bond created the hegemony. The problem, he saw, was how to break this hegemony and change the minds or the popular consensus, and to change the way institutions work. In short, to make the people question the right of their leader to rule in the accepted way.
To accomplish this requires a whole new system of values, beliefs, and morality. A system where the individuals conformed because the media tells them that is really the only acceptable way to believe because it was fair to all. If one believed differently, then they would be ostracized as extreme and uncaring. To accomplish this goal of creating guilt he suggested using the traditional intellectuals as organic intellectuals that grow with society and becomes its thinking and organizing element. Their role is to act as informal educators in local communities and become one of us, not some distant intellectual who is above the rest of us. Of course he included the idols of the entertainment world to bolster the effect of the intellectuals.
Once these organic organizers which today we call community organizers have gained the trust of society they can move on to their second goal of using the schools to perpetuate their ideals. By controlling the schools they can control the curriculum and gain the trust of the children and young adults and mold them into their beliefs.
Finally, once fully organized they could use these people (educators, students, and recent graduates) to engage in incessant political activity and use massive methods of communication. No violent takeover, just unrelenting propaganda to produce a constant clash for supremacy of ideas and a patient but persistent subversion of the building blocks of the old established society. They use guilt as the major reason on why you should change your mind
If you look around and listen to the dialog in the media and even small groups you hear things like, You shouldnt be so judgmental., You are acting intolerant., Thats stereotyping., or the worst, "That's racist". What it means in Gramsci terms is, You must accept our values and not argue. If you dont then you are not in the mainstream and not using common sense. Now you know where political correctness comes from!
One might ask why we have schools that push a particular curriculum and seem to ignore parents, why some school budget items make available funds for incredible courses, and why the teacher unions dont seem to represent the teachers true interests. Why have churches become political discourse centers instead of their main purpose? Why do we have a lot of different civil associations that have goals that are destructive and divisive to society as a whole? Why does the media operate as propaganda machines for a certain candidate or ideology rather than just reporting the events?
Gramsci knew the importance of using perceived minorities to create guilt in the masses. The media constantly reminds us of the plight of women, ethnic minorities, gays, and other victims of cultural hegemony. Schools even spend considerable time indoctrinating students in proper speech and thought control and in some cases give college credits for discussion groups on these subjects. They want the students to use this indoctrinated guilt against the old school adults so they come around to this newthink. In other words make us feel like we so far out of the mainstream that we are the extremists not them. They even take these things into the courtrooms of our nation. The federal Violence Against Women Act produced a Supreme Court case in which a 10-year-old boy was charged with harassing a fifth-grade female classmate.
The modern Gramscians in the U.S. have taken over a once great political party using the guilt of slavery and the apartheid that evolved from it until the 1960s to corrupt your mind, body, and soul. Through their newspeak and newthink they have slowly tried to discard traditional beliefs that made this country the greatest and most powerful country of all time...A country where the individual freedom and standard of living is so high that millions of immigrants from most of the countries in the world risk their lives and fortunes to live here.
There is hope however. We must keep a balance of power in our government. The leftists hate our true strength which is the division of power, congressional, executive, and judicial, including the local and state governments, and especially the Electoral College. The Electoral College give all states a more equal footing in the executive branch of government. It helps to protect our individual rights from the collective rights of the major minorities. In a country where over 40% of the adults pay no income taxes at all and a large percentage of people work for the government one might ask who is the majority.
For the Gramsci leftists to win they will wage a war of attrition to wear us down. For us to win we must understand their tactics and stop them in their tracks. Of course voting for the anti-leftists is important but between elections we must get involved and take back the organizations and functions of government that they have infiltrated. Go read about what they are really up to in alternate media. The Internet is a Godsend for researching topics. Find out things like what a past major candidate wrote her college thesis about (Hint: The praise of a noted socialist union organizer in Chicago), find out what organizations the young politicians belonged to in their college days, stop the guilt feeling today for supposed activities of the distant past that that you had nothing to do with, and stand up for the conventional values that your parents should have instilled in you.
Dont get me wrong, we still must have compassion for the have-nots and disabled people but lets give them a hand up and not just hand-outs. We can win them over to our side by doing the right thing and helping them to become a have-some instead of them harboring envy because they are have-nots. Change can be good but to change as the result of newspeak and newthink propaganda is bad.
We must always remember what made this country, what it is, and what Jefferson and our fore fathers meant when they wrote the Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...
When Jefferson stated, "all men are created equal" he didn't mean guaranteed equality for life with no effort, he meant to begin as an equalto have an equal opportunity under the law. To fix the contest so everyone finishes equal is to deny human nature. To deny nature is to insure our doom.
I am posting my too long blog entry here because we need to keep this thread alive and let the uninformed understand where "Obamagov" has its roots.
Knowledge of Gramsci and and his schemes should be common, it isn't. The left has been far more effective at public education than we have, simply by branding us as radicals or comspiracy nuts when we speak out.
*bump for later*
Unfortunately 99% of the press is our enemy. I have tried sending the above to "letters to the editor" in newspapers and the only one that even replied said it was too "in your face" and "antagonistic". Yet, they daily print the drivel of the "progressives" attacking the Tea Party with sexual slurs or anyone who disagrees with them.
It's discouraging but I see a ray of hope since the recent elections. Maybe, just maybe, the American citizens are starting to wise up.
It has been nearly 10 years since Tailgunner Joe posted this thread. Read the above and compare those statements to what we are witnessing today in the US.
I first heard of him back in the seventies in a European History course while we were focused on WWI.
It's been many a year, but as I recall he was mentioned due to the influence he had in Italian anti-War circles that were working to undermine the war effort. I'm not sure, but I think he wrote or was quoted in some of the leaflets they passed out encouraging troops to desert or go on strike the way some French units did.
I'm positive he used to be mentioned in several European History courses and someone I knew had to read all about him for one of their courses, but what they call History has changed so much since the seventies that I doubt they bother with the amount of detail that used to be the norm. Now, apparently, they go over various "psychological factors" and sociology while ignoring individuals who made a difference as much as possible.
Most of the folks I know in that age group are already well aware of where things are headed.
Even the idiot leftists know it, they just have had it drummed into their little skulls that the only way to deal it is to be more like Europeans socialists. Now that the EU is going to fall apart over being so Socialist, maybe maybe some of them will wake up. They just can't grasp that just like there isn't always a handy suburban community for a city full of spenders to take over to shore up their tax base, there aren't always economically robust countries to make a "union" with in order to rescue a nation full of reckless spenders.
The thing that amazes me is that there were people talking about the consequences of reducing population growth way back in the seventies and no one cared. I forget the name of the guy, but Buckley had someone on his Sunday show that was saying SS had to be means tested with the income used for the test indexed to inflation way back when Carter was "saving SS" for us. People laughed at the guy because, "oh, population growth will never slow down that much".

Stardoll: Fame, Fashion, and FRIENDS!!
That famous Stardoll logo is catchy and memorable, It's been around ever since my very first day on this website in 2007. I've noticed that with so many members many users become intimidated and choose to keep this game only to themselves, and not really open to meeting new people on this website.I cannot recommend it enough to sending a few strangers messages on here and getting to meet new people. Why? You're able to safely communicate with others from all over the globe, and even learn about their culture & personalities just by a few clicks of a keyboard!
If you're interested in making friends, simply send one a message or friend request with a meaningful text. Something just like "5/5" or "hi" won't cut it. Humans love it when someone recognizes them. Key Word: THEM. Instead of complimenting their doll, maybe pick up on their name from their presentation or a hobby that they have similar to yours.
The other hotspot for meeting others is through clubs. There is a long list of active clubs that you can choose from, just join one. If you like fashion, join a fashion club. You'll be able to have safe conversations with people and get to know them before you add them to your friends list. NEVER give out personal info that breaks the One stop rules though!
Feel free to share examples of friends you've made on Stardoll in the comment section

Two of the nation's best phthisiologists have condensed into this small handbook of some 120 pages the essential parts of present day concepts of tuberculosis. First the development of the modern methods of attack on the disease is discussed. This is followed by an interesting chapter on epidemiology. The authors list five outstanding discoveries which have greatly contributed to knowledge of tuberculosis. These are Auenbrugger's demonstration of percussion, in 1761; the invention of the stethoscope by Laennec; Koch's discovery of the tubercle bacillus, in 1882, and of tuberculin, and Roentgen's discovery.
The knowledge and the tools are at hand, the authors believe, completely to eradicate tuberculosis, perhaps, within a couple of generations. All that is required is their effective application. Methods of case finding, organization of programs for community campaigns for control of tuberculosis and the role of the sanatorium in control and treatment are carefully discussed.

JUDY TIERNEY: 150 years ago life in Tasmania was tough but while most early European settlers were busy merely surviving, some found the time and energy to pursue intellectual and artistic endeavours.
They formed a group called the Royal Society of Tasmania which went on to establish the Botanical Gardens in Hobart, develop an art collection as well as publish scientific studies.
It is now the second-oldest organisation of its kind in the world but it's surviving on a shoestring budget.
To attract more funding and some new members the society has uncovered its collection of old drawings and watercolours, many of which have been hidden in the vaults of the museum.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: This is a part of the Tasmanian Museum that most of us never see.
It's the print room and its walls are lined with artistic treasures.
SUE BACKHOUSE, TASMANIAN MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY: They're mainly watercolours and drawings.
Some are full watercolours, some are pencil sketches.
there are some prints and there are a few paintings as well.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: About 700 of these works on paper were collected by the Royal Society of Tasmania more than a century ago.
KAREN MARLOW: ROYAL SOCIETY COUNCIL: The Royal Society in fact started the first collections both of art and natural history specimens and it wasn't until the 1880s that we handed over much of the collection to the Tasmanian government.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: For some reason these artworks were never handed over and remained in the care of the Royal Society.
Now they're on loan to the museum but they rarely see the light of day.
SUE BACKHOUSE: We have to be very careful with works on paper because when we have them out on display if we have them out for too long, the light can actually fade the colours.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: Protected in boxes, the drawings are a vivid depiction of early Tasmanian life.
KAREN MARLOW: That's what's so wonderful.
We've found things we just didn't know were there.
There's an extraordinary image of the lower end of Campbell Street showing --
It's a pencil but beautifully worked pencil with the Theatre Royal, the old Theatre Royal before it had the extra front put on it.
SUE BACKHOUSE: The works on paper often reveal a lot about an artist.
A painting is quite a finished work but when the artist is out in the field sketching they're often very fresh and lively.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: Artist and naval officer Francis Simkinson de Wesselow donated 200 of his sketches to the Royal Society at the turn of last century.
They document his travels around Tasmania.
SUE BACKHOUSE: He went to Flinders Island and King Island and produced watercolours of the Aborigines at Wybalenna but they're very fresh and the colours are really beautiful and have been kept very well.
So it's as if he may have painted them just a few years ago.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: The society wasn't solely interested in collecting art.
It compiled scientific observations covering everything from the sex life of echidnas and beyond.
MALE VOICEOVER: Individual females have been found surrounded by numerous admirers of the opposite sex each like a queen holding amid her admirers, her separate state far removed from the possibility of any rival near the throne.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: There was a dark side to the so-called scientific quest.
Society member William Crowther's treatment of the body of Tasmanian Aborigine William Lanne still haunts the organisation.
ANDREW ROZEFELDS, ROYAL SOCIETY PRESIDENT: In 2000, the then president of the Royal Society signed the Sorry Book on behalf of the society and we basically wanted to record our concerns and our regret about the loss of the Aboriginal people from Tasmania due to the impact of white colonisation and invasion.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: Yet thanks to the society the voice of another famous Tasmanian Aborigine, Fanny Cochrane-Smith, was recorded for posterity.
ANDREW ROZEFELDS: At the time we are looking at in the early 1840s there were no universities in Tasmania there were no formal educational facilities and the Royal Society was there for learned people in the community to come together and have regular meetings to discuss issues of science or history or development.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: Those meetings are continued today.
Along the way the society accumulated 40,000 books and journals.
It's still adding to its library, publishing a scientific journal every year with most contributions coming from Tasmanian researchers.
KAREN MARLOW: This is important.
There aren't many opportunities for researchers to get their work published and this is a good way of getting it done.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: All this -- but the organisation struggles to attract modern recognition.
It has just 350 members and a meagre $6,000 budget.
KAREN MARLOW: There are people who don't realise that we are seriously a group concerned with the expansion of intellectual knowledge.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: To lift its profile and boost revenue the society has released some of its artworks in the form of a calendar.
ANDREW ROZEFELDS: We'd love more funding.
It would allow us to do up a whole array of new activities.
We are particularly keen to see scholarships being developed for Tasmanian researchers.
FIONA BLACKWOOD: Mostly though today's society members are keen to continue the work which began 160 years ago.
ANDREW ROZEFELDS: I think in the current day and age many of the science issues that we're facing in the future, issues like genetic modification, there is a need for more basic information to get out to the general public about these issues.
KAREN MARLOW: I would hope that we would continue it.
It is a very significant part certainly of Tasmania's heritage and it deserves to go on, that's for sure.

If you're like me and using the same brush (Garnier) since high school, (clearly you can see hair brushes is not where I invest my beauty cash flow), then might I suggest a brand that has a huge following, Mason Pearson. This brand dates back to 1920 and is still going strong thanks to their exquisite design of handmade brushes that won't pull or damage the hair shaft. It was recently featured in March's In Style magazine as part of a series of hair products to get full and bouncy hair as seen on the runway models at the Versace show.
The Popular Mix Brush and Tail Comb was used in Step 3 of the look to brush through curls and tease the crown to create that full sexy-bombshell hair the Versace woman is so known for. No Mason Pearson brush will stear you wrong and they have a large assortment of different size brushes that all have a cushion made of natural rubber that allow the bristles to conform to the shape of the head and the premium boar bristles creates circulation of blood to the hair follicles which polishes the cuticle and results in increased shine! If you're staring in horror like I was at my old brush, then perhaps it's time to invest in a brand that will remain timeless and always get the job done!
Tokyo Milk Dark Fate & Fortune Collection » -
We love Tokyo Milk Dark for their signature scents, gorgeous packaging and cute names so we thought it was only befitting to let you know about their latest addition, the Fate & Fortune Collection. My personal favorite are the new fragrances in a rollerball form that are also encased in a glass tube a la your dad's cigar collection. These will look really cute on your dresser if you'd like to keep the perfume in there but be careful it doesn't tip over! This range is a botanical bliss of six different fragrances that also carry through in Body Butter Souffles and with names like Wisdom, Destiny, Chance and more. The stand out fragrance of the collection for me is Yesterday that has aromas of asuka rose, linden, ginger root and aged wood!
«Sarah Horowitz Coconut Milk Perfume Oil -
I'm at my desk and seriously going coco for coconuts after smelling Sarah Horowitz's latest creation to hit our shelves, the Coconut Roll On Perfume Oil. I'm super picky about aromas, but I have to admit anything that has a "beachy" inspired fragrance to it is always a winner. If you love the beach and want the essence with you at all times then this will quickly become your latest obsession. Top notes of coconut accented by almond and floral middle notes of orange blossom and gardenia make such an intoxicatingly relaxing mix. Now all that is needed is a pina colada, my man, and a deserted island! Sarah Horowitz Coconut Milk perfume is my personal pick for THE best summer fragrance in 2012. It. Will. Be. Mine.

Vancouver, BCCanada
February 5, 2012
I am interested in bitcoin from many angles and levels. I believe it is unique in its ability to directly affect financial and economic activity, which directly affects so much else in our world. In that sense I believe bitcoin's most important impact will be on the central banking and to a lesser extent the banking and financial services industry. To the extent that these industries have a direct effect on things like economics, politics, financial disparity, war, violence, consumerism, the media, advertising, popular culture etc. then bitcoin will have an effect in those areas as well.
I wish to further improve my business development skills and experience, specifically as it pertains to technology companies and bitcoin. As well I aim to improve my leadership skills in business and activism, along with developing a business centred around distributed and disruptive systems.
I have experience in building and running businesses in a variety of industries. This includes a small design firm, a web development company, and a construction services company I have also been studying the variety of economic, technological, philosophical, and political environments which bitcoin has the possibility of affecting greatly for many years. I believe that with a focused vision and hard work that a small number of individuals can play a role in the success of this technology. The success of this technology and early adoption of it, provides a unique opportunity to those who have the foresight to engage in its development. I am committed to doing my best to do so for myself, and to help others do the same.
An individual dedicated to the success and improvement of our community and society as a whole, and the success of bitcoin (or other decentralized solution) as a means for attaining such improvements in both quality of life and conciousness.
Bitcoin Vancouver continues to go strong!

We arrived at Port Canaveral 1.5 hours before departure: absolutely no lines -- breezed through check in. Our room was on the tenth floor, one level below the Windjammer and pools. Our room, a junior suite, was perfect. Oversized, larger balcony with 4 chairs. The walk-in closet was perfect. We stored our luggage in the closet as well as most of our clothes. There was a sofa and a chair with an ottoman. Ended up having people in our cabin several times during the week before or after other events.
The cabin steward was excellent, as well as our servers in the 5th level dining room. We did "my time" dining. It was convenient as long as you called ahead for reservations. We would have enjoyed sitting with others, but it didn't work out. Food was very good. Previous cruise lines we had travelled did not offer the variety nor quality of food. Enjoyed lunch at Johnny Rockets two times.
I purchased a premium liquor package for the week and believe it was a fair price. Top shelf liquors and beer, included "house" wines which were the only disappointment. They should upgrade the wine list or offer more than two reds. Several bartenders were capable but not friendly. And it wasn't because they were busy. Language may have been a barrier.
Overall experience was excellent. We loved the wide corridors, the layout of the three-story dining room, and the attitude of the staff. Think we have found our new favorite cruise line!
Port was extremely clean and convenient.

NEWARK, Ohio - Two hundred union members and their friends rallied on the courthouse lawn in this small town Oct. 30 at a "Solidarity Day" calling for repeal of Ohio's union-busting SB 5 law. Spurred by wide outrage over SB 5, 1.3 million Ohioans signed a referendum petition, putting the new law on the Nov. 8 ballot as Issue 2.
"When you're attacking one class of workers, you're attacking all workers," said Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga. "And certainly when you're trying to scapegoat nurses and teachers and police officers and firefighters and correction workers, highway workers and librarians, that's an economic injustice and that's wrong." He praised the private sector unions for standing shoulder to shoulder with their brothers and sisters in the public sector
With a Teamsters semi-trailer as their platform, speakers and singers appealed to the crowd to get out the "No on Issue 2" vote. The crowd included firefighters, teachers and other public employees as well as steelworkers from the nearby Kaiser Aluminum plant, coal miners, autoworkers from nearby auto parts plants and members of the Glass Molders and Pottery Workers Union employed at the local Owens Corning insulation plant.
Newark, a town of 48,000 and seat of heavily Republican Licking County, is located 33 miles east of Columbus.
Singer Allen Schwartz sang "SB-5 Blues," a rewrite of the Si Kahn song, "I feel so good, got that union in my soul."
"It's not wrong that public employees have these rights and benefits. It's wrong that other people don't," said David McElfresh, president of Firefighters Local 109. "We will repeal SB 5. We will stand together in solidarity to make it happen...Because of your help, we've had the high ground on the message all year long - that this is an attack on basic workers' rights. It's unfair. It's unsafe. And it's going to hurt us all. We're here today to kick off the nine-day campaign to overturn Issue 2."
Eugene Branstool, beloved former state senator and original sponsor of the 1983 law that brought collective bargaining rights to Ohio public employees, told the crowd that it is hard for a worker to represent himself without union protection.
Branstool is a produce farmer in the nearby village of Utica and member of the Farmers' Union representing small family farmers. He said collective bargaining has enabled public employees to earn a living wage and keep communities safe while avoiding the strikes that were prevalent before 1983.
Several candidates for local office including Max Sutton, Democratic candidate for mayor, received warm applause as they called for repeal of SB 5.
Gloria Smith, president of the Licking County Democratic Club, said the rally was organized by public and private sector unions along with the Democratic Party and the Newark Freedom School, a center of progressive activism. Smith told the People's World that organizers originally planned to hold the rally on Labor Day. However, the local Jaycees, the youth arm of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, booked the courthouse lawn for Labor Day, then failed to hold any event there.
Nurse Kathleen Stewart, secretary-treasurer of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, noted the hypocrisy of Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has called for "shared sacrifice" in order to weather the recession. "The governor's aide just got a $70,000 raise in March. Hell, I don't even make $70,000!" Stewart said.
Rev. Michael C. Menefield, pastor at Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Church, implored the crowd to walk down the street to the board of elections and cast their ballots. Sunday was the last weekend day for Ohioans to vote early in person.
Menefield told the People's World, "This bill is attacking everybody ... We know how this is going to affect the churches because churches are made up of families, and if you start affecting the family members, you're going to affect the church."
Doug Greiner, president of Teamsters Local 637, "thanked" Gov. Kasich "for bringing us together" before chiding the governor as "a snot-nosed brat [who] needs to get out here and apologize to us."
Speaking about what has been the openly stated agenda of the Ohio Republican Party, a local firefighter told the crowd, "The last thing we need is to become another 'right to work' state." In 1958, 64 percent of Ohio voters rejected a proposed state constitutional amendment to turn Ohio into a "right to work" state. Voters go to the polls Nov. 8 to approve or reject SB 5 in what has been viewed largely as a referendum on Republican Gov. John Kasich's corporatist union-busting agenda.

- "Labor Day" (PG-13, 2013, 111 minutes)
Sometimes the past trips you up. It certainly does Frank, the escaped con played by Josh Brolin in Jason Reitman's drama "Labor Day." It definitely unravels Adele, the reclusive single mother Kate Winslet makes so fragile. It is already a defining factor for 13-year-old Henry, played by newcomer Gattlin Griffith, by the time Frank comes into their lives. The dialogue may be loose, the characters quite frequently a mess, but the progression of the film from beginning to end, and the narrative links, are always solid. What unfolds over the long, hot holiday weekend is beautifully told and beautifully acted by Winslet, Brolin and Griffith. Tobey Maguire as narrator and in a cameo as a grown-up Henry adds another nice touch. It is the flashbacks that are a muddle.
The gentleness between characters is surprisingly touching; it makes the pain of a harsh remark cut more deeply. The moments feel simple but are filled with complexities -- the way tossing a baseball can bond a man and a boy.
Extras: Interviews
- "Gimme Shelter" (PG-13, 2014, 100 minutes)
This is a simplistic, faintly emotional account of a pregnant teen's desperate search for help, support and compassion with the huge decision she faces. Agnes (Vanessa Hudgens) is 16 and poor, the daughter of a drug addict (Rosario Dawson) who had her too young. Agnes, who decides she wants to be called "Apple," is all piercings, ill-fitting dirty clothes and tattoos. And if she needs a case study in how life can go wrong by having a baby at that tender age, she can look at mom -- a raging, staggering, yellow-toothed horror in her early 30s. But Apple runs away -- fistfighting her mother to get through the door. With just a little cash, the clothes on her back and a crumpled old envelope with an address on it, she sets out in search of the father she's never met. Her affluent, suburban dad (Brendan Fraser) has two kids, a gorgeous French wife (Stephanie Szostak) and enough guilt to take her in. But the wife won't stand for it. "She's trying to get between us!" she screams.
Extras: Commentary
- "Gloria" (R, 2014, 110 minutes)
There's a natural charm to the truth-telling going on in "Gloria," Chilean director Sebastian Lelio's near-perfect film about the imperfect world of a divorced woman of a certain age. Starring Paulina Garcia in every scene, the film settles comfortably between romantic comedy and drama. A quick series of scenes sets the pace for a film that keeps moving its characters through various emotional phases. It doesn't take long to get a sense of Gloria and what she's up against. Driving to work she sings along with one romantic song after another. At night she slips into a cocktail dress to go dancing at a local club. When no one notices her at the bar, she wades into the crowd made up of the middle-aged and unattached. Calls to her grown children go to voice mail. Complaints to her apartment manager go ignored. She is an observer determined to be a participant, which might sound sad. Yet Lelio's ingenuity in staging the film makes "Gloria" one of the most enjoyable movies to come along in a while.
Extras: None
- "The Best Offer" (R, 2013, 131 minutes)
In the intriguing art-world thriller "The Best Offer," there's an effective dash of Hitchcock. Add a masterful lead performance by Geoffrey Rush as Virgil Oldman, a snobby antiques dealer and auctioneer who finds himself on the most unexpected journey of his life, and the result is a classy, atmospheric, onion-peel of a mystery. The never-married Virgil, a fussy loner with a closetful of gloves (he's a germaphobe) and a hidden room covered in priceless paintings of beautiful women, meets his soul mate of sorts when he's hired by high-strung, deeply agoraphobic heiress Claire Ibbetson (Sylvia Hoeks) to help her sell a villa's worth of valuables left by her late parents. Claire doesn't make the assignment easy on Virgil -- nor he on her -- until a May-December romance blooms between them. Though, of course, nothing will be quite what it seems (how can it be after a character pointedly reminds Virgil that "everything can be faked"?), the film has several smart twists.
Extras: Back story, interviews
- "Legend of Hercules" (PG-13, 2014, 98 minutes)
Renny Harlin's "The Legend of Hercules" has pre-emptively conceded defeat in its duel with Brett Ratner's "Hercules," the other Hollywood project based on the same Greek hero due this year. One of the best-known figures in Greek mythology, Hercules has yet to receive serious cinematic regard. Besides serving as a bit player in films such as "Immortals" and "Jason and the Argonauts," Hercules has been the subject of one wisecracking animated musical from Disney and numerous live-action features straight out of the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" canon. No matter how absurd, though, the 1958 Steve Reeves film, the 1983 Lou Ferrigno vehicle and the 1997 cartoon -- all titled "Hercules" -- at least nodded at classical mythology. Harlin's boasts a Hercules in name chiefly and banks on moviegoers' ignorance. Sean Hood and Daniel Giat's script-by-number screenplay hits every obligatory plot point of the genre imaginable. But it's unremarkable.
Extras: Deleted scenes
Our pick
- "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (R, 2004, 108 minutes)
Few, if any, get comparisons to Meryl Streep, the greatest living actress, and arguably the finest actress in movie history, period.
But Kate Winslet started drawing such high praise when she began to collect one Academy Award nomination after another. It also helped that she became globally famous after "Titanic."
Winslet brilliantly transforms herself into her complex characters.
The bored suburban housewife in "Little Children." The mysterious novelist in "Iris." Defending herself in a war-crime trial in "The Reader," which netted the 38-year-old her first Oscar out of six nominations.
Check out Winslet in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," one of the most original movies of all time.
Charlie Kaufman's sensational script won the best original screenplay Oscar, and Winslet copped a best actress nomination.
The movie focuses on heartbreak in a relationship, and a new process that erases your memories. I won't give anything else away. Just see it.

Credited to Lennon/McCartney, the ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song Paul McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son Julian during his parents' divorce. "Hey Jude" begins with a verse-bridge structure based around McCartney's vocal performance and piano accompaniment; further instrumentation is added as the song progresses to distinguish sections. After the fourth verse, the song shifts to a fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes. "Hey Jude" was released in August 1968 as the first single from The Beatles' record label Apple Records. More than seven minutes in length, "Hey Jude" was, at the time, the longest single ever to top the British charts. It also spent nine weeks as number one in the United States—the longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles single. The single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional lists of the all-time best songs. McCartney changed the title to "Hey Jude" because the name Jude was easier to sing. Much as he did with "Yesterday", McCartney played the song for other musicians and friends. Ron Griffith of Badfinger, the first band to join The Beatles-owned record label Apple Records, recalled that on their first day in the studio, "Paul walked over to the grand piano and said, 'Hey lads, have a listen', and he sat down and gave us a full concert rendition of 'Hey Jude'. We were gobsmacked." # Paul McCartney -- vocal, bass, piano # John Lennon -- backing vocal, acoustic guitar # George Harrison -- backing vocal, lead guitar # Ringo Starr -- backing vocal, drums, tambourine In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Enjoy :)

Good info, and not to nitpick, but, oh, man, I wish the narrator would pick up the pace. I feel like I'm listening to a really boring priest sermon, or to a droning lecture by a college professor that would make you pull your hair out. I wish he would just quickly make his point, without the two second intervals between words, and go on.

Last season was the first time since 2003 that the Caprock girls didn't come home with a state wrestling championship.
This year, senior Alyssa Cortez and six other Lady Longhorns are looking to get back to their winning ways.
"I have no doubt in my mind that we will do good as a team," Cortez said. "I think the group of girls we have going, we all have strong heads on our shoulders and we are all fighters. We are going to give it our all and try to bring home a state championship again."
Cortez is 36-0 this year and hopes to compete for an individual title as well.
"We've been working hard," Cortez said. "Im ready for it. I'm excited to see the competition. So far I am undefeated. I am trying not to be cocky about it. I think going into it, it gives me an advantage but I know it will not be given to me. Last year I got fifth. The competition is not going to be easy."
Caprock coach Anthony Hoppe said it will be tough to win but expects his girls to compete.
"We've got a pretty strong region," Hoppe said. "Hanks qualified seven kids and we also qualified seven. It's just going to depend on which seven is stronger. Hopefully, we've worked hard enough. Hereford got second at the regional tournament. We were third."
Senior Amarndo Pallares is looking to make up for finishing second a year ago and hopes to come home with a state title in the boys division.
"Last year I kinda fell short, I got second," Pallares said. "I've been focusing on fixing all the mistakes I had last year. I want to come back this year and make something happen. It helped me a lot, it helped me to work harder."

WT20: Bangladeshis Banned from Flying Rivals' Flags
By PTI - DHAKA
Published: 25th March 2014 08:39 PM
Last Updated: 26th March 2014 02:52 AM
The Bangladeshi hosts of cricket's World Twenty20 threatened to ban local supporters today from stadiums if they are seen carrying the flags of any of the other teams competing in the tournament.
The order came after an outcry over images of locals waving Pakistani flags during the recently concluded Asia Cup, also held in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh was part of Pakistan before the 1971 war of independence in which it says three million people were killed -- most at the hands of the army of the Islamic republic and its allied militias.
Read: Sedition Charges on Kashmiri Students for Cheering Pak Team
A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) spokesman said the board had issued a directive after it "noticed that some local fans were flying foreign flags flouting the country's flag rules".
"We've received instruction in this regard," the spokesman told AFP, without clarifying.
"As such we've ordered security officials and guards to make sure Bangladesh fans cannot carry or fly flags of foreign nations in the stadiums."
The BCB order came on the eve of Bangladesh's 44th Independence Day celebrations, marking the day when the nation went to war against Pakistan.

Is this strategy starting to sound like the proverbial free lunch? Lower break-even, no (or little) additional capital required, and no increase in the position's downside risk?
It sounds like all benefits and no costs. But there is an opportunity cost. Look at the table above. If BBB rallies past $35 to $37.50 (or to any higher price for that matter) the total value of the position is $40, the same as when BBB reaches $35.
The "cost" of this strategy is that in the best-case scenario we will break-even. We can do no better. But remember what our primary objective was when the stock was $30 and we were thinking of doubling-up.

The Second World War and the Peace Movement: The NATO Double-Track Decision in Inner German and Transatlantic Perspective
Conference Deadline:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Conference The Second World War and the Peace Movement: The NATO Double-Track Decision in Inner German and Transatlantic Perspective Berlin, 26–28 March, 2009
German Historical Institute, Washington, DC (GHI) and the Institute of Contemporary History Munich-Berlin (IfZ) Philipp Gassert (GHI), Tim Geiger (IfZ) ans Hermann Wentker (IfZ)
Location: Hertie School of Governance, Quartier 110 – First Floor, Friedrichstraße 180, 10117 Berlin Forum of Surviving Witnesses: same location – Fourth Floor (Auditorium Friedrichstraße)
In this year of marathon commemorations (2009), an important milestone in the Cold War unjustly gets overlooked: the NATO Double-Track Decision of December 12, 1979. At that time, NATO decided that, in case arms control negotiations with the USSR should fail, the intermediate nuclear forces of the West should be modernized to provide a counterweight to the new Soviet SS-20 missiles. This directly affected international relations as well as domestic developments in European and North American societies: Alongside the almost simultaneous Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the NATO decision marked a shift from an era of reduced tension in international politics to a newly heightened East-West confrontation in the "Second Cold War."
In many Western societies, the decision mobilized domestic political protest movements. Societal resistance manifested itself on a scale hitherto unseen: protesters organized human chains, sit-ins, and mass demonstrations. But east of the "Iron Curtain," as well, the idea of peace moved a lot of people. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the NATO Double-Track Decision, this conference, jointly organized by the Institute of Contemporary History Munich-Berlin and the German Historical Institute of Washington, DC, aims to illuminate this historic landmark on the basis of the most recent research and newly accessible sources. In order to internationalize contemporary history, it addresses not only the central role of West German-American relations in this decision, but also the greater European picture. It focuses on the politics and societal reactions in Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, and Poland in addition to the rival superpowers, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.
With this focus, the NATO Double-Track decision becomes embedded in its transatlantic, intra-European, and social contexts. We are interested in connecting state and society, as well as global and domestic politics. Moreover, we aim to highlight transnational cooperation among the peace movement(s) and the elite networks of the so-called strategic community. What long-term consequences followed from the confrontation between the political "establishment" and the peace movement? In the final analysis, did the Double-Track Decision, perhaps, paradoxically set the stage for ending the Cold War? At this conference, leading experts from Germany, Europe, and the U.S. will try to find answers to these questions.
In addition, in a roundtable discussion, prominent surviving witnesses will reflect on the questions that were so hotly debated in their day, including Federal Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher; Karsten Voigt, coordinator for German-American cooperation who was the spokesperson on foreign affairs for the SPD faction in the Bundestag at that time; Rainer Eppelmann, a minister "moved by peace" in East Berlin and the last defense minister in the GDR; and Marieluise Beck, a founding member of the Green Party and a parliamentary member of the Auswärtiger Ausschuss [Committee on Foreign Relations].
All events are free of charge.

Welcome to SFAC
Hi there Gauchos, my name is Cierra Russell and I am a fourth year pursuing my degree in Feminist Studies & Sociology. Throughout my time here at UCSB I have grown tremendously thanks to the wonderful people and opportunities I have encountered these last three years and look forward to giving back as much as I can as I finish my undergraduate career. I am also a Second-Year Resident Assistant in the Santa Catalina Residence Hall as well as being in the NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program, all in pursuits of continuing my involvement in Student Affairs and supporting students. SFAC has consistently allowed me to advocate on behalf of my fellow Gauchos and I am excited and privileged to work as the Chair of this committee for my final year, let's make it a good one!
The SFAC consists of twelve voting members, three non-voting advisors, and five non-voting ex-officio representatives from the Associated Students (AS) and the Graduate Students Association (GSA). The twelve voting members are drawn from a cross-section of the campus population which either pay the Fee, use Reg Fee Services, or are involved in the Student Fee Administration process. The voting members consist of two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, two graduate students, two staff representatives, and two faculty representatives. The advisors are from the Planning and Budget Office as well as the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Office. The ex-officio representatives include three positions from AS (the President and both internal and External Vice-Presidents) and two from the GSA (External and Internal Presidents). These ex officio representatives are on the Committee to provide information and coordination between the SFAC and other student groups on campus.
Appointments to the Committee are for a tenure of three years. This is to insure that a high degree of expertise is maintained among Committee members and to provide for continuity. The nature of many Committee decisions is such that programs, issues, and solutions are on-going events which not only require some historical perspective, but also a great deal of foresight. Only experienced Committee members can most effectively deal with these types of events.
Join the Student Fee Advisory Committee!

The Lib Dems may have lost this battle but the war is not lost. Deeply saddened to see so many party members lose their seats. On a personal level I am pleased that I increased our vote share but my pleasure is outweighed by the sadness for the party. A big thank you to all my supporters and voters. Next time.

Panfilio infuses 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful." »Read Full Article
