If you would rather have Romney in charge than Obama, then don't vote; it's like giving a half-vote to the Republican candidate, who will definitely put more hard-right judicial activists on the Supreme Court, making whatever Obama has done (which is plenty) look like a harmless prank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-84650491115773617862012-03-11T12:32:31.278-04:002012-03-11T12:32:31.278-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Satomi Tanakahttp://www.facebook.com/satomilkchoconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-45475232724904057912012-02-24T14:51:36.363-05:002012-02-24T14:51:36.363-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-89889292343729201592012-02-05T11:20:31.989-05:002012-02-05T11:20:31.989-05:00The best article I've read recently, is in the...The best article I've read recently, is in the New Yorker:<br />"The accelerating rate of incarceration over the past few decades is just as startling as the number of people jailed: in 1980, there were about two hundred and twenty people incarcerated for every hundred thousand Americans; by 2010, the number had more than tripled, to seven hundred and thirty-one. No other country even approaches that. In the past two decades, the money that states spend on prisons has risen at six times the rate of spending on higher education.<br /><br />More than half of all black men without a high-school diploma go to prison at some time in their lives. Mass incarceration on a scale almost unexampled in human history is a fundamental fact of our country today-perhaps the fundamental fact, as slavery was the fundamental fact of 1850. In truth, there are more black men in the grip of the criminal-justice system-in prison, on probation, or on parole-than were in slavery then. Over all, there are now more people under "correctional supervision" in America-more than six million-than were in the Gulag Archipelago under Stalin at its height."<br /><br />http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2012/01/30/120130crat_atlarge_gopnik?currentPage=all<br /><br />Elle Romero.Elle Romerohttp://www.facebook.com/people/Elle-Gabrielle-Romero/1260657043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-68286311436522179602012-02-02T16:46:14.429-05:002012-02-02T16:46:14.429-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-45900114803835024172012-02-01T22:35:06.306-05:002012-02-01T22:35:06.306-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Mirelon Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826436796785490907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-44542887725967951502012-01-27T15:00:44.734-05:002012-01-27T15:00:44.734-05:00Bacon and eggs IS a healthy breakfast.Bacon and eggs IS a healthy breakfast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-7768865582670055152012-01-27T13:13:44.676-05:002012-01-27T13:13:44.676-05:00Perhaps it was the presidency of that idiot Gyurcs...Perhaps it was the presidency of that idiot Gyurcsany (who is a present commie, not a former commie) followed by Gordy's, that helped put Orban's party back in power.<br /><br />For the record, I like your blog for its musical content, as well as for interesting articles from HU/RO.

He's a lot more my style).<br />On New Year’s Eve, most people were getting together to celebrate the New Year, but in Washington D.C., President Obama was busy doing something else. On Dec. 31, 2011, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).<br /><br />American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) executive director, Anthony D. Romero has a blistering opinion:<br />“President Obama's action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law! The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people. The ACLU believes that any military detention of American citizens or others within the United States is unconstitutional and illegal. In addition, the breadth of the NDAA’s detention authority violates international law. We are incredibly disappointed that President Obama signed this new law even though his administration had already claimed overly broad detention authority in court. Any hope that the Obama administration would roll back the constitutional excesses of George Bush in the war on terror was extinguished today."<br /><br />Obama signed into law a bill that eliminates one of the fundamental protections of the U.S. Constitution: the right for people not to be detained indefinitely by the government without being formally convicted of crimes.<br />The NDAA allows the government to hold anyone suspected of being associated with terrorism indefinitely, without any form of due process.<br />No indictment.<br />No judge or jury.<br />No evidence.<br />No trial.<br />Just an indefinite jail sentence.<br />In other words:<br />If someone in the government suspects that you're somehow associated with terrorism, you can be jailed indefinitely in a military prison!<br /><br />The new Obama doctrine: <br />(Rachel Maddow, NBC)<br /><br />http://youtu.be/K9Z2ac34RDI<br /><br />Quo Vadis, America?<br />McCarthyism, Police State, Stalinism, Fascism... ?!?<br />A very sad day for democracy.Bill Scaliahttp://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Scalia-Sr/100001911710613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-83779162206331175682012-01-24T19:31:20.363-05:002012-01-24T19:31:20.363-05:00@Anne Goldberg

The Capitol switchboard staggered through the day under a massive volume of calls. The websites of several lawmakers buckled and stopped working as a result of heavy traffic. And activists reported that they were unable to leave messages for their representatives due to clogged voicemail boxes. <br /><br />Wikipedia posted: <br />„Thank you. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. From all around the world your messages dominated social media and the news. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet. The internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you've directed your energy to protecting it. We’re turning the lights back on.
