Personal accountability is at the heart of Republican political ideology. However universal causality renders personal accountability, and the free will upon which that accountability is founded, as illusory and misleading.

Causality is THE basic physical process, without which the universe would be COMPLETELY static, still, and without ANY manner of change. Time could not exist without causality, and causality could not exist without time. A decision is an event in time. It is, therefore, also an effect in time. All effects, which would clearly include human decisions, must, by definition, have a cause.

Human decisions, regardless of their physicality or lack thereof, are events that occupy a specific and precise location within time, and these decisions are caused. Whether or not the decisions are "physical" is inconsequential. The decisions are causality determined, and therefore cannot be freely willed. In other words, it is their existence as EVENTS along the timeline that renders them subject to causality.

83-year-old American singer, musician, actor, and political activist Harry Belafonte at the 10-2-10 "One Nation Working Together" rally;

INFUCKINGCREDIBLE!

I had to listen to and see it four times to properly appreciate it's messages and power. A modern day Paul Revere speech riding with eloquence, truth, and urgency reminiscent of King.

The world is changing before our eyes. His is a call to the full exercise of our American democracy. That the audience was not frozen with focus at his every word is telling testimony to where we are, and the manner of journey we must take. It seems Rev. Jackson got it.

November 2nd will determine the speed and degree of pain that journey will manifest. The canned voice-over at the end, again, reminds us of how far we are from where we need to be.

Godspeed to us.

As the One Nation Working Together March on Washington nears, I hope it's organizers are fully focused on how that massive event can best help our Democratic candidates win this fall's elections. As this recent PPP poll finds "The group of folks who haven't made up their minds yet is 14% Democrats, 21% Republicans, and 65% independents."

While it's encouraging to understand that the Country is not moving to the right in various ways http://www.dailykos.com/...
it's noteworthy that "Iraqi exiles remain in dire straits," http://www.dailykos.com/... and it's enlightening to explore the difference in "likely" and "registered" voters in recent polling, http://www.dailykos.com/... are these the kind of stories that will win November's election?

It's easier to write informed, educational and truly salient pieces about topics that may or may not be all that relevant to the outcome of November's election than it is to write more challenging and less certain pieces about how to energize our base and swing Independents enough to win races on Election Day.

In President Obama's weekly address today, he cried out against the corporate special interest groups spending tens of millions of dollars in September and October to defeat Democratic Candidates on November 2nd. Fine, but are we just supposed to "take the high road" and be "holier than thou" on this? Are you telling me that President Obama is going to follow in John Kerry's footsteps by not fighting fire with fire?

Where are the George Soros and other billionaires that are supposed to be on OUR side. Could President Obama and our Democratic leaders foolishly have advised them to stay out of these 2010 elections?

If we keep the House and Senate with enough Moderate and Liberal Democrats after November's election to end the filibuster in 2011, and then pass legislation overturning Citizens United v FEC, then all is well. But there is simply too much at stake to leave that prospect to chance.

Imagine reading the following late-September story by Associated Press:

Fresh on the heels of, and emboldened by, Chris O'Donnell's victory in Delaware, most Tea Party chapters now plan to sit out House races in November where they either didn't field a primary candidate, or where their candidate lost to a moderate Republican. In other words, rather than helping mainstream GOP candidates defeat their Democratic opponents in November, the Tea Party plans to let the "weaker" Democratic candidates win in 2010 so fil the seat with a "real Conservative" in 2012.

That the Tea Party would resort to this strategy is not surprising when you consider that Mike Castle would have easily won the general election for the mainstream GOP in Delaware. "What good would it do to let those milquetoast Republicans win seats they will then hold for years and years and years, when abstaining in those races would allow us to seat our Palin Republicans in a couple of years" said Bucky Dimster, director of the Mid-Atlantic Alliance of Tea Parties. "We won't be voting against Republicans," Dimster added. "We're just going to sit by and watch those pandering, weak-willed traitors get what they deserve for blaspheming our traditional Republican values."

Here’s a message we can use to discourage rich and super-rich Americans from supporting Republican candidates this fall. The message is inspired by a Fram oil filter television commercial some years ago where an auto mechanic nonchalantly advises the viewer - "You can pay me now, or pay me later." The message in that TV ad is that car owners can either pay a trivial amount now for a new oil filter, or pay later for the cost of a new engine that has seized due to the abrasive effects of poorly filtered oil.

Our message to rich and super-rich funders is that they can either support Democratic efforts to create jobs, address climate change, reform immigration, etc., now, or they can support Republican candidates who will obstruct this legislation, and a few years down the line they will end up paying MUCH MORE through higher taxes and a weaker economy because these problems will become more destructive and more expensive each year that passes.

With momentum already on their side more than six weeks before Democrats launch their post-Labor Day shock and awe offensive against the Republican Party responsible for the 2008 global recession that cost millions of Americans their jobs, homes and life savings, recent polling is showing an increasing likelihood that Democrats will begin the Senate in 2011 with at least 72, and possibly as many as 74, seats. (Correction: I meant 62-64 seats.)

Several decades ago, the animals we ate were raised on family farms, and they had mostly pleasant lives. During these last decades, however, the corporate farms that replaced almost all of those family farms routinely torture farm animals far more cruelly than even the Nazis tortured Jews. If we believe in a God who rewards us when we do good and punishes us when we do evil, and extends those blessings and curses to our progeny for generations to come, we had better end this cruelty soon. If you are not aware of how horribly we treat ALMOST ALL farm animals in the U.S., watch the first five minutes of this video and see for yourself how cruel we have become.

This is the first of a diary series I plan to post repeatedly during these last three months of the campaign to help us defeat Republican candidates this fall. The idea is to compile, post, and keep updated a list of the most damning facts and attack messages against ALL Republican candidates.

Here are a few very general examples of the kind of ammo we need from you:

How many Americans have lost their jobs because of the 2008 Bush-Republican recession? (as of what month?)

How many Americans lost their homes because of the 2008 Bush-Republican recession and because Republican House and Senate members repeatedly voted against Democratic bills that would have saved those Americans their homes?

We sometimes get so caught up in day-to-day political battles that we lose sight of larger realities that will ultimately determine America’s future.

One inescapable reality we must, and will, face is that our economy was for several decades artificially and unsustainably kept growing by a financial services industry whose numbers hit a solid wall of reality during the 2008 recession, and which will likely not ever again play such a role in our economy.

Another inescapable reality is that globalization has shrunk our manufacturing sector, and the manufacturing jobs we lost will not be coming back any time soon, if ever.

The overriding reality is that our American economy has shrunk substantially and will not be able to during this next decade provide the degree of material abundance it did before the 2008 recession.
