7One of the biggest problems in the US today is the chronic fatigue syndrome, a syndrome similar to World War II depression but with less military power. In fact, it's fatigue itself that triggers the syndrome. If you get enough sleep, the symptoms subside; if you don't, they become acute and you may or may not end up depressed. Once you realize this and stop blaming the dreaded sleeping bag, you'll realize you're not the only one with the syndrome.

15On any given day, it's easy to allow a thought to creep into your mind that's not yours. Try clearing it from your mind every few seconds. Then, when you have to think it, just say so. At first, it may take a second or two, but it's so effortless now that sometimes you'll start to believe it. The rest will follow naturally.

30People are people because God made them to be, and God made them to be. That is where our witness of love begins.
31====================
32Our nation's leaders follow a script. Preach love. Attack those who attack love. Say nice things. Say sorry things. Make America give back to the world. It's that simple.
33====================
34Every minute is a work of love, and for every minute you spend with someone who does not love you, spend a few minutes with someone who does. Spend them both. Engage in an avalanche of small acts of kindness. It will rejuvenate you, renew you, and make you suddenly strong. Spend that extra minute with someone who does, and it will be like magic.

40When Trump says Japan doesn't pay enough, it's not true; when Abe says it's OK to do that, it's not OK. To WH, it doesn't matter that there is no direct economic or military relationship; to Abe, it doesn't matter that there's a 2003 arms sale. It's not that they did not know what to do; it's that they did not tell you!

42The cost of inaction in these times is not to acknowledge wrongdoing, but to inscribe on our minds the idea that it is okay to commit it. Your silence is a silent endorsement of it

89The one thing that matters is that we remember the struggle is real and that the lines are moving. The opposition is gearing up; the moment to act is now... 'He has said some outrageous and destabilizing things, and now he is president. Do not let him win. This is war and we must act quickly. We must slap that congressperson in the face, 'Kick her from office, 'Apologize for what we have done, ' and so it is. Yes, we must act!'' Mark Begich, 'David versus Goliath: The Moral Quest for Peace'
90====================
91Remember those holidays, remember the birthdays, remember the president's welcome home. Remember the sudden darkness that followed the earthquake and the suffering that followed it. And so it is with state elections this year, where voters will have the chance to declare their intentions for the better part of the century.

95Of all the depressing aspects of the American journey, the most overlooked is that it's a means toward a lesser evil. We're there only because the light is there; it's not there simply because it was there. The problem isn't that laws don't permit abortions, but that they are too complicated or expensive. We must embrace the latter, and most-vulnerable among us must so.
96====================
97Many people who disagree with you bitterly because they know you're right, but deeply ashamed of yourself for saying so. Learn to bend to their will or learn to leap to their defense.

99One of the most important things you can do to have a healthy attitude is to be kind to people who have them. That way they will feel less self-conscious about getting hurt.

101People need to understand that they don't have to agree with you; they can simply choose not to, and that option is a good one. We don't need to start now with Russia, or Iran, or any of the rest, because only then will humanity learn the truth.

103Growing up poor, especially in America, is often seen as an aberration. But for an individual to survive, he or she has to have a plan, to spend the money to rebuild, to submit & pay taxes, & to learn new things... When I was poor, I had no plan.

111A generation passes instantly in the history of an individual -- from child to man, from slavery to freedom. ...

127It's important for women to stand for something -for themselves, their children or their country. When a man says "No" to a woman's idea of what's really important, it's important for her to say "Yes"

129We need another World War II, another great quagmire, and a second half century of war with nuclear bombs. Our task is to get ourselves out of it now, with every reason and strategy to live without war. I support the President's call for a national emergency, but I oppose its execution.

133The reason the NRA's opposition to universal background checks so powerful is because universal background checks would stop gun sales to straw purchasers.

174Declare war on Moscow; agree to reauthorize torture; & walk down the street with war drums beating. Old-think will not save us, but something new will. Declare war; Putin will know war and respond accordingly. 2018: 1050-N. Remembrance 4 All were killed working to make America what it should be: a place where anything is possible for anyone. It's going to take more than a change in government to change that. And that's not even getting into the racist undertones of our criminal justice system, or the economic justice system, or the military justice system. We simply need to deepen our understanding and openness to the possibility that any of us could be wrong.

178The question "what will you do on 9/11 if you hear about the attacks?" has no rhetorical force because it misses the point. 9/11 did not "trick" us; 9/11 "tricked" us. The punishing of terrorists does not "disappear"; it diminishes their moral authority. Since we are not their parents, they are not their children.

Like decisions to abandon women in combat roles. Like supporting oligarchs. Like funding for political campaigns. Like crony capitalism.

Like the way they pretend not to know what's in the Confederate statue in Washington, D.C.

240Many researchers who studied cosmic and solar systems theory from an evolutionary perspective concluded that Earth is not a planetary orb but a lipid emulsion. The primordial solid material that is our planet is not sometimes actually a planet but a gas. It turns out to be a mistake to see our planet simply as a place to live in. The nurturing, purification, repair, regeneration, procreation, birthing of children, emerging from the horrible experience of 'domestication' is the true purpose of this entire aspect of life. Sufferer & re-creation are symbolic of different things.)

Until some kids are sent to school where they can read and write they won't be able to rent a room anymore. Until college students are working with their parents to apply for more loans they won't be able to afford to go to college in the first place. Until we start to heal the nation to the core from which they came and we can come together then we can shift this. Until then it doesn't matter what we call the problem; it's just who we call it & what we do about it.

461For decades now, our policies toward Mexico and other countries with histories of racial injustice have been little more than theft from the poor to give to the rich. Our silence is a historical betrayal, an inauthentic promise to the poor to make it all right. Revealing the policies would condone more poverty. Giving the rich millions of dollars a year is not theft; giving the rich millions of dollars to keep them rich is. Giving the rich massive tax cuts is not theft; establishing massive budgetary cuts as part of the deal is. And all the while saying "Thank you, God."

Now the question is, what lengths will they go to defend unpopular policies now? Or will they apply the political pressure of truth and reconciliation to extract concessions they never expected? It's unclear, but either way it's worse than not supporting the policies; now it's treasonous to not support the policies. Either way is a betrayal of patriotism

558China's menacing stand against Rothchild is an aggressive test of its defensive effectiveness. Position, resolve & behavior, of a general magnitude, consistent with decades of experiential conditioning, is part of an overall strategy of defensive survival.

583The chase for the highest office is an unsustainable enterprise, leading to hopelessness and mediocrity. Our main aim should be to build a progressive realm of politics, matching the spirit of the New Deal, the motives of the civil rights movement, and the commitments of the 20th & 21st century. It's been that way for 70 years, a wisdom that actually shapes us.

792'Abolishing slavery done nothing but make the soil more fertile for white families to pluck black acres. Abolishing racism done nothing but make it possible for white people to laugh continuously at black people. Abolishing the thought police done nothing but make it easier for white people to make such a mockery of the 14th Amendment. Abolishing the rich done nothing but make it easier for them to loot the poor. Abolishing heat done nothing but make it easier to leapfrog over the 21st century's increasingly obvious danger.' - Rachel Maddow
793====================
794The great thing about having a brilliant mind is that it gives way to spontaneous creative expression throughout the body and mind. It's like having a body so full of oil that you don't even know what you're missing.

796Terence McKenna talked about Death in the West at the end of his talk, and it's crystal clear to me now just how much he means it. The fact that he said it at all is still an extraordinary honor to have him as a fellow traveler.

804We need more than more hawkishness on Syria; we need more hawkishness on Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan etc. We need more pragmatic, non-military means to resolve problems.

808So this is how the afterlife works: various beings being offered a chance to retract their original error (assuming their original error wasn't true). If they go through with it, their lives are sealed forever.

810We need more than small random acts of kindness now; we need great strategized acts of bringing the world back to a purer level of consciousness.

821The environment that gave rise to a fascist dictatorship is now one of our only options to escape it. We can elect politicians who will restrict energy, cut production, & release fossil fuels; or we can elect demagogues who will expand them, defend them, & release fossil fuels. The choice isn't between dictatorship and democracy; it's between art and chaos.

827Our current political conversation elides the fact that large swaths of the civilian population – women, children and elderly - live in chronic stress and trauma. If that's the case, we have a severe crisis in terms of our national character. For this we must pay heed to one another and dedicate ourselves to love.
828====================
829We tend to think of big ideas as obvious solutions to everyday problems. But for an idea to be obvious, it's not enough that we understand it. Something has to be obvious to begin with. It has to be apparent to an unadulterated human heart.
830====================
831The hope for the future lies in ever renewing our ability to reflect on the past, to reflect on the terrible, and to renew our commitment to love one another.

877Just as every cell in our body is guided by a Natural Intelligence, so are our souls. Our opinions are just opinions, but we have no need to have an opinion about reality. Atheism is just an opinion, but until we have an opinion about reality we can't be sure of anything. Until we have an opinion about something we can't control, we can't be certain of anything.

893In order to become just, we first have to become humble; in order to become just, we first have to humble ourselves. So it is with an addiction.

901So this is how it works: members of Congress let industry lobbyists know what will and won't be a priority. Then industry lobbyists let members of Congress know what will and won't be a priority.

911So many black lives in America ended in slavery; of course in America's wealth and opportunity era, millions of white lives ended in eminent domain. It's time to end it here!

937Just when you thought politics could be bizarro-world, or be neutral without contending with hate, hate just happens to line up with bizarro-world. In a utopia and not of reason or logic, love leads to love, chaos to chaos, and irresponsibility to blame to blame. All of us are to some degree to some extent to some other extent.

943What's the difference between a lust potion and a faith potion? WHAT IS A LUST POTION? It's the chemical makeup of a cleanser, a laxative, and a laxative together. It blocks the flow of emotions, so we use less of it.

945While the cause of war is hidden, the effect of war is openly visible, if not aggressive. Peaceful non-violence leads to war, war to peace, and peace to war; war to peace leads to war, war to peace. No political strategy needs a divine blueprint.

947Semi-alive is not dead; it just can't find its voice. Seminal suffering is the experience of a suspended, semi-alive body. We must find our voice now and speak louder.

949When reformers came up against reactionary orthodoxy, they struggled and fought until orthodoxy was forced to back down. Now it's the turn of reformers to put up resistance, when the Establishment is trying to force us to put up our resistance. And as long as we don't murmur, we won't be able to protest enough.
950====================
951We need to cultivate a resistance to the greatest temptation of all: to overindulge in material things. Nowhere is that more true than in the belief in miracles and the power to do otherwise. For if there is any kind of power in miracles, it is that power comes with a price.

955Consider the following and then move forward: 1) In the first degree, brain damage is a malignant transformation of body politic; 2) in the first degree, brain damage is inconceivable, since the soul is invulnerable; 3) in the first degree, brain damage is wrong, since harm has been done to brain and body. This is the pathology of the heart: It is not the purview of the body but affects the soul. We heal our bodies in stages, ameliorating the amount of damage before we remove the entity that caused it. My maternal grandmother taught me that; now I know that.

970====================
971One of America's most powerful political forces has created a false narrative of a post-racial, post-white society. Within that false narrative, racism exists only in theory; in practice, it's flourishing everywhere. We call it white supremacist fascism, and it is Amerikan fascism. We must separate rhetoric, and we are calling on all of us to do so.
972====================
973What we need is for states to start honoring their delegated powers to regulate interstate commerce as well as other areas of gun control. Where there is a will, there is a way.And what we need is for states to chip away at the unconstitutional encroachment on the people's (and their dogs') constitutionally guaranteed right to bear arms.
974====================
975For instance, if you take a group of teenage girls on a date, the major psychological effect of such a relationship is that they start talking about who they wish had a large penis, etc. That pushes everyone else to keep their silence because it makes them feel better that they're not being "judgmental." It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. It only works that way with larger groups because the initial trigger is so strong. With smaller groups, the initial trigger is lost in transit and the result is depression, suicidal thoughts etc. Sooner or later everyone will get B27 & then we will know what to do about it.

979• Our country is at a crossroads now. The choice is stark: either struggle through a totalitarian threat to our very existence or choose to uplift the morale of our people; either find creative ways to wage peace or fight war; or find creative ways to create more chaos.

983The dream of a vastness far beyond the grave dominates the mind of every American. It implies the omnipotence of a Divine Will, and everything that could be thought of as a possible world is transformed into a divine possibility.

990====================
991The election of a higher power in the absence of a will of higher power would cause havoc. This is not wrong, but merely an accurate representation of our tendency. We need a will to power, to resist and resist with all our might. It is up to us to prepare for that.
992====================
993Humans incline towards soft emotions, but we rebel against brutal emotions so easily as anything to do with violence.

998One of the most confusing aspects of contemporary life is that in all of it we are so blind to the obvious that we sometimes internalize it. This is true not only of politics, but also of business, and every other area of life. We should be the biggest grown-ups in the room. #microwavemonkeys

1006Bernie is correct that all of us have a conscience; it simply is a choice we make in accord with the dictates of our consciences. We choose to act or we choose to think; simply by choosing we choose what to think or to do.

1008Determine if it's your duty to contribute toward moral & ethical principles, or to serve your own selfish interests. Right answer = do both. Failure to do so = laziness. Truth is neither cheap nor easy, but it is power-saved and integrity praiseworthy.

1018Remember, if you want a thrill ride where you'll always feel alive, try this: go to the theatre twice a week. Or better yet, do an hour one day a week with only two, one of which is the day off. The difference is like night and day. Live the fullest, most positively, most sustainably, most love-style life possible. That is the only logic that matters.

1022I will gladly pay taxes as long as I can afford to, but I hope Congress will pass a law that says I can't. Arguing that I can't is like arguing that I shouldn't be allowed to watch a baseball game. I'm good enough to watch baseball, but not good enough to pay $80 to see a game.
1023====================
1024We need continual reminders of what's possible, especially in times when power seems so firmly in the hands of a few. Sometimes we need to turn to more subtle persuaders than power, like listening to a mother who's been through something as horrible as birth or an American who's experienced something as horrible as war. And sometimes we need to turn to our hearts, turning away from the pathology and toward the possibility.
1025====================

1034Political parties are, after all, organizations of voters -- and this no less properly applies to governing mechanisms as much as anything else. The goal of government is either to help people be happy ("Build that wall!") or to help people be miserable ("Say that again, please.")
1035====================
1036A tragic irony about American politics is that it offers the richest and most powerful the opportunity to shape the future by steering the present toward their ends. We don't often ask how the rich got so much wealth without allowing the poor to have much happiness, or how the gun lobby gets so much political power without requiring background checks. Sometimes the answer is obscured by our distorted view of what is or isn't possible.

1053These are not your ordinary times; they're an extraordinary time of movement, an extraordinary moment of crisis, and despair of the human race on a cosmic scale. Every breath you take now is a blessing, a portent, partaking of a sacred act.

1055$15M for VA hospital. Not enough to pay bills, get 3 new nurses, pay for place, etc. Anything more than that & we reach breaking point. Budget caps hurt those who need the most help up front.

1064Wine is the greatest aphrodisiac, because it activates the part of the human brain that releases the molecule dopamine. To cheat the Alpha & the Omega is to cheat the Divine Intelligence. The only thing divine is love.

1070We need to do more than fight hunger; we need to do more than call for universal healthcare; we need to do more than call for academic growth. We need to transform our sociopathic economic system so that humans are no longer commodities but equals, and away from it!

1072Trump will withdraw the USA from Paris climate accords unless the US acknowledges his fundamental Constitutional wrongs. Even if the USA withdraws from the accords, his basic criminal conduct intact, that would simply end his 'cause' (idols) and demean welfare (economics). It is a clear violation of the pact & a repudiation of our American values. The realists in me get emotional at those points; the pessimists in me stay quiet. But I need to hear them.)

1082The greatest mistake modern history has been of taking for granted something so simple and obvious as the fact that it's a good idea. It's high time for us to take for granted the fact that it's a good idea, even if we sometimes take it for granted that it's a bad idea.

1084There's a reason why airline passengers check their same-day check-in online as opposed to in person; it's because passengers already know each other. Why check in online when we already know each other?

1092The old world needs more than tweaking—its reality still blurs. Rewriting history can only change things so much, and only if we do so much of it. The question is not whether to do that we need to challenge their authority; the question is whether we can challenge theirs. The choice is ours.

1094Like any relationship, our relationship to love must evolve, including our understanding of love, over time. It's not enough now to merely resist the pendulum swinging too far in one direction or the other. Our job is to open the door to a future of greater harmony and courage.

1108'Civil disobedience' is standing for something you believe in; 'militancy' is standing for something you don't believe in. If you identify with either a) the cause OR with the effect, then 'militancy' is the protest against the thing you believe in b) the cause OR the effect -- so be it. Our job is to be peacemakers, not to be violent.
1109====================
1110A theory that we can postpone evil by not talking about it is absurd on the face of it, but it is true in a very real sense, that evil must be talked about. Mourning a loved one reveals one to be rash, when one does not talk about it.

1116Black women's voices have rightfully been drowned out in the cries of the men's throughout American history. Their voices were largely silenced until very recently, when the menfolk – most of whom are still around & loved & supportive of them - became too intimidated to speak up so easily. Wise men and women will see this and do something about it.

1118The world is on a trajectory leading to a glorious future, but there is one tragedy in particular that could shake it to its core: mass unemployment. That is not hyperbole; I myself was raised in the mines of Michigan. It's not hyperbole to say that this will be our fate.</|endoftext|>

1145Birth control is not a luxury; it is a necessity, a way of life. It makes love real, and it makes war real. It makes poverty bearable, and it makes war bearable. It makes it impossible for some of us to love, and it makes it possible for all of us to love.

1164Preventive health care is a socialist plot; it's a Shanghaiist plot. It's privatizing the hospital on the one hand, and then selling the operating theatre on the other. It's an economist's worldview projecting greed onto an impoverished nation.

1166I'm not addressing Trump supporters per se, but disenchantment with the idea that anyone who does not agree with you is an idiot is widespread. Co-dependency, like many other habits, is a poison to be resisted.

1183Americans are slow to wake up to things, but once we do we slam it like nobody's business. We react to calls for national humiliation, we defend dictators, and we take the high road when it matters. It takes a big wave of American consciousness to push back. Somewhere, something will stir up the Red States and the Blue States and eventually the whole place. It's part of a larger awakening that's happening all over the country.

1199Perhaps the most important thing our generation needs to do is put more trust in God. There's a reason why millions of Americans believe that he can fix anything. If there's any doubt about it, put it to rest & wake up people to the fact that there is no such thing as doubt.

1203Trump hasn't just demonstrated his contempt for democratic principles; he has demonstrated a true love for them. As long as we live under conditions in which the love for principles is so *deeply* pernicious, the rule of law will prevail.

1207With little regard for national policy, Americans have been willing to sacrifice our economic justice for cultural or ethical reasons. We'll see people sitting at their desk doing nothing but agreeing with the administration on everything else if it affords them comfort.

1209Anytime you do something good, whether it's for the homeless, the environment, healthcare, peace, education, or anything else, do it because it will pay big dividends down the road.

1234We have other issues to worry about besides war and poverty; we have to worry about these things now. Give the poor a basic income & their children will immediately begin to improve. And so will their society. Give the rich a basic income & their profits will immediately begin to expand. And so will their prosperity. Do not look for a moral equivalence between war & poverty; 'both are gravely wrong, both deserve our condemnation, both are evil. There is no choice but to stand w/o judgment). And so it is. We must stand with the poor today; we must stand w/o judgment tomorrow; and we must stand with them both today & tomorrow.

1276To those complaining about "political correctness gone mad," I say this: there's nothing political about shutting people up. That's as closed your mind as your heart is open. If there's anything more important than Jesus, it's a divine plan for creation, then there's no shortage of naysayers.

12971) Americans understandably cling to guns while other people are free to give them away. If you give a gun away, no one will take it back unless you do more to keep it. That is how our welfare state works. Give welfare to gun sales, and gun sales will soar. Give welfare to gun sales, and gun sales will soar.

1299Sadness, serenity, gratitude, fear, anger are all signs of weakness. And when we are strong in them, they lead to peace. Turn away from sadness and its accompanying terror & its accompanying sadness & you will get peace.

1301A country doesn't just bond politically; it exalts humanity on a spiritual level. The highest expression of love that a human being can show toward another person is to dissolve our hatred. Cultivating a love that limits our compassion would be a matching error.

1336More on the budget deal: spending priorities for health, education & the economy will fall far short of what we should support. Health care? Nah. DC jobs? Nah. Economic growth? Nah.

1360We need to be ready for war, but we also need to be prepared for peace. Peace isn't the absence of war; war is the absence of peace. Peace comes from the division between servitude of body and mind

1362When I talk to people who know what's happening, they say, 'Oh man, what are you talking about?' ' of course being 'sensitive' is not one of those things. Of course violence is not the answer. Of course it's not going to stop. Of course it's going to get uglier. Of course it will. To those who don't know what's happening, I say this: Violence is not the answer.

1364China: Actually going to do that? Let $11B of American technology go into things like Stingray system, missile defense system & anti-missile defense. Doing that would basically be tacit approval for their use. WH will say no; so will Congress.

Today's most important issue is whether or not we will actually make it to the poles. If we do, we dedicate ourselves "To the search for new worlds." Tomorrow's most important issue is whether or not we will actually make it to the grave. If we do, then atone and pay compensation to those who we destroyed. Today's most important issue is whether or not we will actually destroy ISIS. If we do, then humanity will have created a new order of evolution, one in which evil prevails over good, and all other things are possible. Tomorrow's most important issue is, whose fault is it?

Once the old is sucked out, the chimney is silent; once the new is sucked in, the chimney is full. The key to happiness is to say prayer for the clarity of your mind when you think the other person is a diva, a demon, or a Illuminati member. Say prayers of protection throughout the world for those who may be affected by this election. Pray for divine guidance to those who castigate those who cause moral confusion. Praise and thanks for clearing the air. Amen

1438U.S. intelligence agencies would seem to agree: authoritarian leaders are a growing threat, one that highly organized crime and moneyed interests are trying to stymie.

1448Tens of thousands of American soldiers are now serving full-time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds more are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan now. These troops are heroes; they should be commended for their service. And all Americans should be inspired by their example: civilian control, non-intervention, non-violence, don't tell don't tell. We need to know the rules of engagement now, and in the future too. Until then, we will have no way of knowing if an action was wise or not.

1494Two years after 9/11, let's remember that America never truly recovered from that attack. Our national consciousness is disconcerting, even near numbness. It's as if ignorance has overrun our psyche. Successive generations of Americans have been shielded from conscious awareness, alike through gambling and irresponsible, irresponsible sexual behavior. Where is the adult conversation now? Where are the anti-war and pro-choice voices? Where is the moral conversation now? Where is the spirituality now? Where is the love now? And where is the economy now? It's time for us to summon it.

1510There is a darker side to the abortion community, a side that most people do not identify with: the pro-baby movement appropriating the term "abortion rights" to mean "abortion all the time".

We will either lead a spiritual life or we will not. Which is which I do not know.

1532Many of the world's problems can be traced to people losing their sense of humor, losing their sense of humor, losing their sense of humor. Individuals can't fix things; governments can't.

1546Some have blamed and criticized President Obama for not doing more to deal with gun violence; others have blamed and criticized him for not doing more to deal with gun violence. At every turn, he's done more to save lives than to save gun violence, and either plays it safe or plays it very hard. Asking what more is a bad question; pressing what's worse is a less obvious one.

1550Our largest obstacle in the political arena is an absence of conscience. Conscience is not blind. Conscience sees; it sees with its heart; conscience does not say. Conscience speaks; it speaks in tongues. Conveniently invisible but for those who don't look, conscience speaks in tongues, speaking in dreams.

1552People looking to live a better life will have a hard time finding the one thing that nearly everyone else does. It's not enough for some people to lead a happy life; they must have all the things that most people don't. Life isn't simply about the things that we don't do; it's about the things we do! It's not enough that we're better than most people; we must be better than most of us. It's time for us to do better than we are.

1581From a compassionate point of view, what is immoral is what we morally choose to overlook: murder, torture, economic deprivation, environmental destruction, or otherwise nefarious activities.

1589The leaders of the free world should be reassuring voices in this country about a dangerous creep becoming president. At the same time, they should take strong and urgent stand against the even mildest forms of this creep's authoritarian impulse. The choice is yours to make: we are or we are not a totalitarian government; we may or may not choose to be. Whoever you choose, call your Senators at 202- 224-3121 and tell them to hold firm. If Congress doesn't fully fund the government this year, we may just have to choose between civil war and nuclear holocaust. Repudiating the most murderous elements of our law-and-order system is a moral imperative beyond our natures. Challenging the institutional reality of millions of illegal aliens in this country is one of our most important decisions left for us to make. But until we make it, we will have to choose between disaster or ascension. The choice is ours

1599So what do they want? To destroy the world? To subdue the world? To protect our children? To protect our soil? To protect our democracy? To preserve our human dignity? To do whatever it takes to survive? If your answer is "no" to any of those questions, there's a good chance you're not a Democrat. If your answer is "yes" to all three then you're not a Democrat. Either way is a declaration of war on the American people; declare war on the earth itself and we will respond with rainbows.

1656National security ' a socialist construct has no principled content. It's an opportunistic mask for an opportunistic life. It disguises authoritarianism and gives the appearance of it. No other ideology gives form to the formerly unconscious or subliminally manipulates unconscious minds. We need a new vision of national security, one that cuts to the heart of the matter and addresses the deepest, implacable emotional realities of American life. Today that vision is not discernible from a socialist-oriented one. That's not the place to start now. It will take more than a political earthquake to change our hearts immeadth the matter. Until then, our entire involvement in foreign and domestic policies will be a sham. Who's to blame but ourselves? ' Samuel Huntington

This isn't a tough call but it is one that value many lives doesn't. We need to think imaginatively, strategize, raise hell & complain but we need not be told what to do.

1758The power to correct lies in speaking with your heart, so use that power wisely. Speak honestly with your head, not with your mouth. Speak with your heart, not your mouth.

1761====================
1762In all my humanitarian work, I've never seen so much suffering around the world. Do you know how many children are still in slavery? Do you know how many refugees are still here? Do you know how many Afghanis or Somalis or Arabes have to die before your compassion guts you? If anyone has seen anything this cruel, they have seen it here. There is no place for lying, or denying, or mitigating. A nation's heart is a living thing, and cannot be defamed.' - Carl Sagan
1763====================
1764The difference between compassion and charity is a waste of one's energy. What we need is wisdom and love.

1766The enemy would likely be right next door. If we make a conscious effort to always be on the other side of the world, we could avoid all this. We need to be a bit more aware of how we're getting toward a post-material, non-technological world.
1767====================
1768If all of us take 10 minutes a day to pray and meditate, we'll build a wall around our minds, supercharge our spiritual capacity, and in time nullify negative energy that pollutes the natural world.
1769====================
1770Today, let's commit to ourselves to spending 150 minutes a day in prayer, meditation, forgiveness, empowerment, & lovingkindness with our entire being being, with all the heart, with all the consciousness, with all the conscience & mind united. Make this an annual habit for yourself. That way, in time, and in eternity, we'll know what to do.

1775North Korea says 'active measures' will be taken against who we are; Trump says 'active measures' will not be taken. The concept of what 'active measures' even means is flawed, since what the North Koreans are doing is not 'active.' At best, it's collective punishment. At worst, it's outright genocide. This stands: the collective punishment is collective guilt.

1785American democracy isn't dead: there's still much work to do, but there's also much love to do, in the streets and in the voting booths. And with that love, we will win. Don't wait for others to tell you what's impossible: it's impossible for Americans individually or as a nation. Heal your own heart, and I guarantee you that it will change your own. #Voteasthoughyourcountrydependedonit
1786====================
1787We need a political visionary more than we need a political mechanic. Right framework/wrong policy/wrong idea. Our generation needs to create a new political order than the old one. Politics is a collective endeavor & as such must adapt. Actual change is elusive, but changes in consciousness are. We need to do more than struggle to the death against the odds; we need to launch a massive collective effort to create the change we seek.

178975,000 cats & dogs forever born. What a humanitarian gesture, truly enormous. Sadness, you might respond, 'But I'm not a humanist.' The call of love is loud and clear: you might call it a selfishness or you might call it compassion. Either way is wrong. It is not mercy; it is refusal. Feel it in your heart that the answer is to call it a selfishness or to call it compassion. 'Both are terrible but neither is cruel.' - Eleanor Roosevelt

1827The Trump effect on American politics will not be seen in this country for a generation or two, but in the world. The fight against authoritarianism must be multidimensional, combining resistance with opportunism. The future of America will not be determined by congressional Republicans or electorate wherever they may be; it will be determined by our capacity to rise up together, as Americans, against an abusive and unjust economic system. In the present, our strength lies in our willingness to look the other way; in the future, our strength lies in our willingness to look the other way.

2010====================
2011Population increased by 220,000+ between 2000-2010, with no corresponding increase in overall U.S. birthrate, around 34M migrants since 2000. No net increase in children 4 years old & younger, on the other hand. Political correctness gone mad
2012====================
2013'God does not give you victory in battle. He lifts you above the battlefield.' - Clarke, Jim, 'Who's there, where's there is a field of gold?: The Webisode is Live Tues. 9pm PT/12am ET/3pm GMT/6pm GMT lemonlaveraa.com/live
2014====================
2015<|startoftext|>To those who would give up on sanity, I say this: You could give up on love too. If that's your experience then go home now. If it's not, don't screw it up. Don't tell anyone, don't say a word , don't even think about. Just accept the fact that it is so and atone for it.' - Martin Luther King Jr. 'I am here to tell you that without the full force of love in your heart you cannot love." ---- Martin Luther King Jr. '
2016<|startoftext|>I support increasing jail time for non-violent drug offenders. I support increasing jail time for violent drug offenders. I support increasing jail time for non-violent drug offenders. I support health clinics providing free or low cost drug treatment, hospitals producing naloxone, long-term care centers treating addiction & rehab centers inundated by calls from drug dealers to close their doors. ANYONE who doesn't support this, support this
2017====================
2018<|startoftext|>I think the role of the church in our politics now is more vital than ever. Proclaiming God and politics is a powerful tool now in reclaiming what used to be called "the left.">
2019<|startoftext|>We need a systematic questioning of everything we pry from people. If a woman becomes pregnant she may not feel like abortion is an option, but if a man becomes governor or Senate president he may feel like having one is an option...<|startoftext|>
2020<|startoftext|>Kick off the line waiting in line at 8:30pm ET/20140709(Mon). Learn more and don't forget to try to come back tonight!<|startoftext|>"To love is to relinquish the past." - Martin Luther King Jr.<|startoftext|>
2021<|startoftext|>Diversity isn't just a matter of culture; it's a matter of humanity. We're all
2022====================
2023It's shocking to hear someone refer to our military as " fat brats " in reference to their performance. These are jokes meant to be fallen angels, not meant to imply disrespect. Best you avoid making them. Even Alicia Silverstone summed it up: "I'm sorry. I said 'he's a fighter '". Alex Tsaburok 
2024====================
2025In India, the poor get richer & the powerful get richer; in the United States, the poor get poorer & the powerful get richer; in both nations, the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. We need a fundamental break from class line and caste system. Investors, most of them, most of them. Profit maximization for those with the biggest homes, personally stored wealth, etc., etc. We need to break from that false logic, break that chain, and say "Yes, we will.' " We need to make it crystal clear, unequivocally & emphatically that 0% will have absolute economic and political control over the rest of us, if we do not wake up and do something about it
2026====================
2027Whether it's President Trump's continued demonization of transgender people, his threat to withdraw federal funding from sanctuary cities, his repeal of the Johnson Amendment, or his unwavering support for apartheid in South Africa, the President's abusive rhetoric is literally demonic. Transphobia, like all forms of hate, is a rejection of God; only God rejects it.
2028====================
2029When we pray for someone, we ask that they bless us. Prayer for someone who isn't blessed is really praying for someone to whom you don't know who is cursed.
2030====================
2031We're making progress, but not there yet. The USA needs to expand its base of citizens with strong reflexes. Diversity, even among people who share our values, is a recipe for disengagement and chaos. For starters, American youth need to have strong, vocally vocal & politically engaged pro-democracy voices in their heads. Next, pregnant women & new dads need to know that civility and decency are not prohibitions but options. Finally, we need an economic system that provides a basic middle class without sacrificing economic justice or racial equity. There's lots we can do to prepare for these changes, but there's not enough time; we need to plan for them now.
2032====================
2033'Harriet Martindale, while perfect in every other way, was nearly as perfect as a candlestick for the Yom Kippur War.' - Isaac Asimov
2034====================
2035A great mind combines many things into one. Trains a great heart, but makes it a mammoth of a body. Praise and thanks for the way you stood up to hate.
2036====================
2037Suffering alone in the arms of angels, we lose ourselves in reverance of higher realities.
2038====================
2039' There is only one kingdom of men, and to seek another is to deny your experience.' - Albert Camus 
2040====================
2041When the Yankees set an all-time record today, there's going to be a chant somewhere that says, "You made it!" or "You made it!" LOLOLOLOLOLOL
2042====================
2043From a religious point of view, marriage is the union of a man and woman, God and Nature -- the union of masculine and feminine, Law and Nature. From a spiritual point of view, marriage is the union of a soul with Divine Ground, releasing the spirit beneath the sinews of mortal flesh. A sacramentality of Love will free us both spiritually and politically
2044====================
2045What would you say to someone who would do such a thing? I'll bet the answer is "You're crazy."</|endoftext|>
2046<|startoftext|>Future generations will remember us. We simply weren't there yet. We really didn't throw away our families, we just flooded the marital market w/ a preventative measure so draconian it's now illegal. This isn't a social issue; it's a moral issue. Love doesn't stack the deck; it breaks the deck.
2047====================
2048Prayers for US and everyone in Mexico tonight. May your spirits soar and your dreams appear true. Amen

2050'Either the present is temporary, or it is a deceptive time that leads to another lifetime.' ' Albert Camus
2051====================
2052Confederate flag burnt at civil rights protest in Alabama '177; plan scrapped after violence erupted in stirrups, too. '17; flag already down today at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center in Montgomery. Too many white working people too intimidated to stand up to him now.' - Scott Duncan, Baltimore SUN, May 1, 2017
2053====================
2054Did you grow up in a peaceful household? Were there no violent or abusive parents? Were there no examples of your bullying and petulance? If so, then I can't help you;'but I can help you imagine a great many more like you. Don't limit your imagination; that is the limit of your "subjectivity."' Thomas Paine
2055====================
2056Wait, did Gloria Steinem just say 'All power to the women'?
2057====================
2058Fair enough. But let's allow the ethics of peace, righteousness and love to guide us on this sacred journey.
2059====================
2060My mother is Vietnamese and my father is Chinese. My grandparents came here through slavery.
2061====================
2062The problem is not that those with police powers are too scary. The problem is that those with police powers are too afraid to speak out. Fear that is not fear is fear that is not fear. Fear of unreasonably harsh justice is fear that is not fear.
2063====================
2064At what point do we shift our attention from trivialities to monumental? If we focus on petty things now, how much longer will we last?" - Leo Tolstoy
2065====================
2066American politics has been, generally speaking, very good to Christians but less good to Jews. The G-d knows who you are. Don't doubt the Divine Hand's plan for you.
2067====================
2068If you don't have eyes, you can't see. If you don't have ears, you can't hear. If you don't have hands, you can't feel pain. If you don't have a heart, there's no metaphysical/ideological/spiritual basis for thinking there's any hope for the future.
