Re: [Peace-discuss] Fear McCain…

[Neil Parthun]

Ho hum.

Apologists for Obama.  The man admits to being no fan of Obama or his  
neoliberal politics yet then proceeds to lambast McCain for his  
neoliberal politics.

"America's quadrennial candidate-centered corporate-crafted   
"electoral extravaganzas" (Noam Chomsky's term) tend to cloak the  
fundamental corporate and imperial consensus between reigning parties  
and politicians, focusing voters on superficial differences of  
candidate style instead of the fact that both of the nation's  
dominant political parties are well to the right of the populace on  
numerous key issues.  The current election year is no exception."

I'd concur -- this is a partisan hack job focusing on minor  
differences (i.e. calling Janet Reno Chelsea's "father") rather than  
the fact that both parties are significantly to the right of the  
general population.  Even the author admits that Obama and McCain  
have a fundamental consensus on corporate and imperial issues.

Its not the act of seeing with our own eyes alone; its correctly  
comprehending what we see,

  We absolutely have to refuse to attribute any kind of permanency to  
that which is simply because it is.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.  
Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as  
you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with  
too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
