A Patriot’s Message
The hammer falls on the Constitution of the United States of America. Our freedom and Democracy, our sovereignty as a nation is coming to an end.
The politically appointed neoconservatives in Justice sneer at Habeas Corpus; Geneva Convention; worker, consumer, investor and environment protection; education; affirmative action; individual rights and “entitlements” like Social Security and health care.
The corporate neo-con conspirators (Establishment) have their own agenda of a New World Order; W.T.O; N.A.F.T.A; N.A.U; immigration; globalization and “free trade”; military seizure of foreign oil fields; employing a private army of mercenaries and propagandist; “dealing” with Afghanistan Opium drug lords harboring Osama Bin Laden and financing Al Qaeda.
The ideal corporate model is “Communism” where individual freedom and democracy are mute. The board of directors rule. The corporate neo-cons hate our regulatory government, Constitution and Individual Rights.
Our Federal Government is purposely bankrupt by war/trade debt and the ideal corporate nation, China, are carrying trillions of dollars of our debt. Communist China and their junior corporate American partner’s technically own the”U.S.A” resulting in “Globalization” and loss of sovereignty. Mission accomplished. The surge strategy is not to win the war but to pump oil and further indebt U.S.A to Communist China. Patriots, sign on! Impeach Bush, Cheney and nullify their Supreme Court appointments!

Hey,
Thanks so much for reading and even commenting on my site. It’s new and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I’ve been reading your blog for awhile, so that was encouraging.
A reminder of your comment and my response…

Like its a hobby and if you practice really hard you might get good at it. Being gay is something that you either have or you don’t. Except if you are bi, then you get a bit of gay and non-gay.

I’ve had my fair share of practice and believe I’m pretty good at it. lol. But the point is that I don’t have a choice whether I practice or not. I’m certainly not practicing for the other side and abstenance is the mind fuck of right wingers.
I hope you’ll keep checking back and maybe I’ll join your blogroll someday =)Thanx again,

The topic of health care in the 2008 U.S. presidential election is one that is high on the minds of Americans. However, while most people are well aware of the immense challenges facing our health system (rising costs of medical care, malpractice, high prescription drug costs, medical bankruptcies, employers dropping coverage, 47 million uninsured Americans, etc.), they have less understanding of the specific solutions proposed by Senators Obama and McCain.
We invite you to write a post about the topic of health care in ’08. There are clear policy differences between the Obama and McCain plans, who come from two differing philosophies on health care reform.
“HealthDecision ’08: Obama and McCain on Health Care” is an initiative by HealthCare.com (http://www.healthcare.com) to help potential voters understand each candidate’s position. It is an objective comparison of the two platforms, and provides analysis as to the strengths and weaknesses of each. Most importantly, HealthDecision ’08 provides an interactive voting tool that allows users to “vote” for a preferred plan. HealthDecision can be accessed at http://decision.healthcare.com/obama-mccain/.
HealthDecision ’08 will provide you with much of the primary research with which to form a post. In addition, we provide you with links to third-party election coverage from Health08.org, NPR, The New England Journal of Medicine, NY Times, National Journal, U.S. News, WebMD and many other sites, that may serve as supplemental information sources.
I hope you’ll join us in our effort to raise voter understanding on this very important issue. We hope that you will use our information, and also link your readers to our site in order to have their voices heard.
Lastly, if you’re interested in posting real-time results of the HealthDecision ’08 poll, please reply to this email for instructions on embedded our widget onto your blog.
Thank you.

Dear Friends,
I’d like to share with you my latest video: “No on Prop 8: California Ends Its Discrimination.” This video explains both the relevancy and the similarities of California’s anti-miscegenation history to the current battle with proposition 8.
This is the written narrative:
In 1948, the California Supreme Court in Perez v. Sharp ruled that the California anti-miscegenation statute, prohibiting marriage outside of one’s race, violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and was therefore unconstitutional. This was the first time since Reconstruction that a state court had declared an anti-miscegenation law unconstitutional.
California was the first state since Ohio in 1887 to repeal its anti-miscegenation law. In a number of states, state laws prohibiting interracial marriage and interracial sex were repealed after Perez v. Sharp.
Why is it relevant to the prop 8 debate that California’s supreme court struck down the State’s anti-miscegenation law, a law that prevented someone of one race marrying one of another? Because the same arguments, religiously-based, societal- and culturally-based, that were used to validate that discrimination are nearly identical to those used to seek discrimination against same-sex couples today. Those who did not believe in the mixing of the races, in the government allowing its citizens the freedom to choose who they wished to marry because they believed it would degrade society and country, that it would create a “mongrol” nation, fought to impose anti-miscegenation laws in this and almost every other state. These opponents to interracial marraige were largely prejudiced, but many truly believed they were saving society.
So it is quite relevant that in May, the California court, a Republican and conservative court, voted that the same legal argument, that such an infringement on civil rights, violates the 14th amendment of the US constitution.
The California Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage May 15, 2008 in a broadly worded decision that would invalidate virtually any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.
The 4-3 ruling declared that the state Constitution protects a fundamental “right to marry” that extends equally to same-sex couples. It tossed a highly emotional issue into the election year while opening the way for tens of thousands of gay people to wed in California, starting as early as mid-June.
The majority opinion, by Chief Justice Ronald M. George, declared that any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation will from this point on be constitutionally suspect in California in the same way as laws that discriminate by race or gender, making the state’s high court the first in the nation to adopt such a stringent standard.
The decision was a bold surprise from a moderately conservative, Republican-dominated court that legal scholars have long dubbed “cautious,” and experts said it was likely to influence other courts around the country.
“Our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation,” George wrote for the majority. “An individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.”
Many gay Californians said that even the state’s broadly worded domestic partnership law provided only a second-class substitute for marriage. The court agreed.
Giving a different name, such as “domestic partnership,” to the “official family relationship” of same-sex couples imposes “appreciable harm” both on the couples and their children, the court said.
Now those who have traditionally opposed homosexuality, placed onto the ballot Proposition 8, which would limit marriage only to heterosexual couples and would deny same-sex couples the legal tax and family benefits of a civil marriage. It is the hope of Prop 8 proponents to impose their religious beliefs into the constitution of our secular state government and our democratic society. They should not be hated for their ignorance, but they must be stopped.

Hi ,
I came across your site and found it very impressive. It is really beautifully crafted and contains valuable resources. Our site receives a comprehensive traffic that may value to see your site too. Moreover our sites are very relevant for Link exchange. At http://www.londongayman.co.uk we have information for gay men in London. As both our sites are rather complimentary than competitive I was just wondering if you would consider a link to our site http://www.londongayman.co.uk/ under the links section of your page.
We shall be happy to link back you at http://www.londongayman.co.uk/links.php and http://london-gay-scene.blogspot.com
Looking forward to your kind cooperation.
Please let me know if it’s possible.
Best Regards,
Rozane Peech

Hello Bloggernista…I just learned about your blog today, while looking for mine. I should have checked for blog names before I did mine.
I will get mine changed today…as soon as, I come up with one.
I love the TJ Max commercial, where they use the word (fashionista). Thats what gave me the idea for one of my blogs.
I am a new blogger, been at it off and on for about a year now.
Since your blog is already established, I feel that I should not use a name that is almost the same as yours.
I read some of your blogs and you have a very good site.
Well, I guess I’ll go back to the drawing board.
Dennyt
