    Please compare the class and presentation of these sites articles about their ideological opponent’s Vice Presidential candidate. Just like we witness at Clipmarks, most progressives are children. The Liberalpedia boasts 100% truth, but it is probably only slightly more truthful than the opinion and assertions made here at Clipmarks.

    The Seminal Point for Materialist Progressivism

    With savages [i.e., those in more primitive societies], the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health…. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment.  There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox.  Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind.  No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. 
    excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed….

    “If…various checks…do not prevent the reckless, the vicious and otherwise inferior members of society from increasing at a quicker rate than the better class of men, the nation will retrograde, as has occurred too often in the history of the world. We must remember that progress is no invariable rule….”

    But it’s the only rhetoric they know.

    Most Hard-Lefties even suggest Bush murdered 3000 Americans.

    That Bush uses Cocaine.

    That Bush and Cheney “drink the blood” of Iraqi children.

    And that’s just the beginning.

    Yet, now , does the Left still support the hate-mongering, race-baiting, racialist church and pastors Obama denounces?

    It seems the great unifier just continues to create more division on a daily basis. How can he be a unifier when he cannot even garner a majority of the votes in his own party?

    Obama made it clear he wasn’t happy with the comments — in which Pfleger pretended he was Clinton crying over “a black man stealing my show” — and said he was “deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger’s divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn’t reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause.”

    The American People are the Problem

    clipped from therant.us
    In a national epidemic of individual
    irresponsibility, it has become a national pastime to accuse politicians
    of destroying America, but it is the American people who are the real
    problem.
    When the American vote was not for sale,
    it could not be purchased at any price. When most Americans were real
    patriots, “a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her
    country and its interests with devotion”
    – they were not so easily
    fooled by promises of free benefits (paid for by others) and
    snake oil salesmen promising dancing sugar plums from the campaign
    stage.

    Politicians are nothing more than a
    manifestation of the perceived will of the people. Politicians
    pander. Most politicians don’t care what they have to promise to
    purchase your vote, so long as your vote is for sale.

    There is no doubt that when a first term senator, without a credible achievement, who proved himself incompetent at the mere act of casting a vote as a State Senator, who is the most Leftist member of the Senate and all of Congress, who talks about sacrifice while giving 1% of his windfall salary to charity, who will not talk about his record, agenda, or be “distracted” by questions of his intended policies, who has befriended a terrorist and racist preacher, who has a wife that says there is a “veil of impossibility” in America ( She went to Yale, remember), who is an adherent of Black Lib (marxist) Theology, who never worked in Business or Industry, never managed a company, and never served his country. A man who whips his naive supporters up using tactics, imagery, and organic unity not seen since the early 1930’s. The American People are in fact the problem when this is the man that one of the major parties in the US seems to believe is fit to be President of the U.S.

    Who is hurting the Democratic Party more?

    clipped from www.care2.com

    Why is the media trying to convince Democrats that if Hillary doesn’t drop out now, it’s the end of the Democratic Party as we know it?
    The Democratic Party has already, single handedly, ostracized all the voters in Florida and Michigan. Now they want to alienate even more voters, by suggesting that Clinton supporters don’t really matter, and later primary states aren’t relevant to the nomination.
    As far as I am concerned, the only people hurting the Democratic Party, are the people suggesting Hillary should drop out

    What do you think? Who is hurting the Democratic Party more? Obama? Clinton? Or the media?
    There is nothing different today ( after Tuesday’s primary election) than there was prior to Tuesday.
    Neither Clinton or Obama have the required number of delegates to secure the nomination. Both won the States they were expected to win.
    Hillary hasn’t had a chance of winning, mathematically, for months. All of a sudden everyone in the Leftist media says Hillary should drop out? Why were they not saying this weeks ago?
    Why are the Media so concerned about making sure the Democratic Party begins healing?

    New Bill of Rights

    January 30, 2008 willhelm Leave a comment
    clipped from www.manbottle.com

    We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people are
    confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill
    of No Rights.

    ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any
    other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire
    them, but No one is guaranteeing anything.

    ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This nation
    is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone – not just you!
    You may leave the room, change the channel, express a different opinion,
    etc., But the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
    Accept it.

    ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you
    stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect
    the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently
    wealthy.
     
    ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone truly in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.

    ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us try to see you fry in the electric chair.

    ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a car, a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

    ARTICLE VIII: You don’t have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won’t lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you want to. However, we are not required to parent the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our blood and money battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.

    ARTICLE IX: You don’t have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have one, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

    ARTICLE X: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to freely pursue happiness – which, by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

    Who is Antonio Gramsci? – You Better Learn

    December 10, 2007 willhelm Leave a comment
    clipped from www.freerepublic.com
    WSJ writer, “[Fonte] defines the ideological split in America as a contest between present-day Tocquevillians and disciples of the 20th-century Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci, who drew on the ideas of Friedrich Hegel and Karl Marx. The Tocquevillians incline toward individualism, religious belief and patriotism. The Gramscians see any society, including America, as an arena where the “marginalized” are necessarily at war with the privileged classes.
    As we know, political events do not happen in a vacuum. There are always causes. Ideas that were deemed a failure decades ago can be successfully implemented today. In the world of ideas, decades are often only an incubation period and today Gramsci s ideas are very much alive in the political arena.
    Gramsci wrote his 33 books. They contain very shrewd insights on how a “capitalist, bourgeois society” works and how it can be taken over peacefully and dominated through a systematic change of its ideas.

      blog it

    “His methods became in fact, the “field manual” for the many that followed. If you understand Gramsci, you will understand the “peculiar” and “weird” theories that are in vogue today. And you will understand that they are not the work of “weird crazy people” but rather of calculating and quite intelligent operatives.”I IMPLORE all Right-thinking people to educate themselves on the ideas of Materialists. They are more prevalent now than they ever have been. You need to know what is behind the trends in HIgher Education, Political Correctness, Environmentalism, The thousand or so political action, interest groups that tear the fabric of America (ACLU, NEA, Think Progress, Moveon.org and a thousand others. They are founded in Progressive/Marxist/Materialist views.
