    Government got tricked by "law makers" who said, "we'll propose a consequence so heinous that it will force the two sides to cooperate." The Very Important People could not imagine that the Republicans (some of who are the self-same Very Important People) would force the heinous consequence. And they did. Now the children pay. The poor pay. No benefits were cut for the wealthy. No taxes were increased. The Right demands an end to birth control and abortions and as soon as the child is born it becomes a liability that must be denied benefits or assistance.

Bradley Manning is a real American hero.  Thank you Bradley Manning for your sacrifice on behalf of America.  At the Nuremberg Trials a legal principle was enunciated that it is a crime not to take action against or oppose a regime that is killing and torturing innocent civilians.  If Nuremberg were convened today, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Libby, Wolfowitz would be charged, convicted, and hanged.  If Obama had a shred of dignity or self-respect he would commute Manning's sentence immediately, as Bush commuted "Scooter" Libby's sentence.

I would like to see Congress put up a whale of a fight to assert Congress's sole role to declare war. Obama is apparently going to attack Syria without a declaration of war from Congress. These twits, Republican and Democrat, are fiddling around while America's Constitution is being shredded by the Executive.

Cuccinelli brings to mind recent research from Austria where scientists have created miniature human brains from stem cells.  Their report states "These small collections of tissue aren’t capable of thought and are much smaller than a fully developed brain...."   I don''t know why the scientists had to use stem cells to grow miniature brains that are not capable of thought when they could have studied Cuccinelli.

Even if the Assad regime gassed its own people, that is no reason to invade. The reason Obama wants to invade Syria has to do with America's collective guilt about the genocide we perpetrated on the Native American People. If Obama attacks the entire Middle East will explode, Israel will attack, probably Iran, and Israel will expand its territory. Russia will get involved on the side of Syria. Shakespeare said it in Julius Caesar: "Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of war." Only the corporations of Big War will rejoice.

I wouldn't be so certain Ariel Castro's death was a suicide. I predicted he wouldn't make it a month in prison, and he didn't. Just because he was isolated from the main population doesn't mean someone couldn't get to him. Anybody who says different doesn't know anything about prisons. Also, he could as well have been murdered by guards as by other prisoners. Being a "short-eyes" in prison is a death sentence.

I think it is highly unlikely that Castro killed himself. I think it is much more likely that guards or other inmates hung him in such a way that it looked like suicide. I predicted he wouldn't last a month in prison and he didn't. Remember Father Geohegan, the pedophile priest? He didn't last a month either. "Short Eyes" is a death sentence in prison.

Mr. Secretary Kerry:

- The U.S.'s use of depleted uranium munitions in Iraq was unacceptable.
- The U.S.'s use of napalm in Vietnam was unacceptable.
- The U.S.'s use of phosphorous munitions in Vietnam was unacceptable.
I detest your attitude and the attitude of my government that when the U.S. commits a heinous act it is acceptable, but when a regime the Military Industrial Complex wants to overthrow commits a heinous act, it is unacceptable. The only component of our nation that wants to attack Syria is Big Defense and Big Military. Big Defense and Big Military are doing the bidding of AIPAC and Israel. Big Defense and Big Military will not pay my student loan and will not expand mental health care in my community. Big Defense and Big Military suck resources from America that could be helping us build a stronger nation. STOP.

The 1%-ers who back these republican lickspittles will make billions from manipulating the market through their toadyies' threats to shut down the government.

Cruz is so tea party.  It's all about hijacking.  Hijacking is what terrorists do.  When terrorists cannot win an election because they have insufficient support, they resort to hijacking.  Cruz is basically a suicide bomber.  He is committing political suicide by hijacking the Senate.  Hurt as many people as possible.  Ruin lives.  Destroy institutions.  Cruz is the perfect embodiment of the tea party.

It is no surprise that humans are polluting space faster than Nature can clean it up, because that is exactly what we are doing to our planet. Fracking is only the latest desecration. We have spilled oil and destroyed entire ecosystems. We have warmed the planet causing worse tornadoes and rising sea levels. Science has demonstrated all this, proved it conclusively. Yet the no-nothings continue to deny and corporations continue to pollute. We humans do not deserve to survive, because we are too foolish. We are Homo imprudens, the species that could not foresee the consequences of its behavior.

Oh, the power!  The power! this weak man (Ted Cruz) wields.  What a total narcissist!  A weak, weenie of a man, primping and prancing on the media's stage and believing he actually has some power, feeling strong for a moment and for just that moment forgetting about the nagging voice in his head saying, "You are weak.  You are unimportant.  You are unlovable."

The GOP are like pedophile priests, they won't stop until they are exposed and made to pay for their sick behavior.

The Tea Party and the radical wing of the GOP is like the NRA when it wants to give guns to teachers.  The Tea Party and the GOP is determined to shoot unarmed citizens, i.e., We The People, who have done nothing but pay our taxes and expect to get services in return.

The radical wing of the GOP and the Tea Party are the George Zimmermans of politics. The GOP should not be allowed to possess the filibuster until they have passed a mental health exam.

The Congress consists of the American versions of Shiites and Sunnis.  The threat to shut down the government is like a car bomb in a market in Baghdad. 

Introduction

     I have become angry that reviewers at Huffington Post regularly delay publication of my comments or delete them.  Apparently I am on some kind of list, and almost everything I write is reviewed.  I am a progressive, and perhaps Huffington Post dislikes that.  I am always polite, and I do not use profanity.  I am not a troll.  What irritates me is that Huffington Post allows all sorts of right wing trolls to comment without censorship. 

     Beginning on August 19, 2013, I have copied every one of my posts to Huffington Post that was reviewed and either published much later or deleted.  I am posting all of these comments here.  Subsequently, I will post comments that I make on Huffington Post that are reviewed or deleted at the time of posting. 

     My goal is to get my very reasonable comments out on the 'Net.  My goal is to do an end-run on the censors at Huffington Post.  I also want to expose the Time Warner owned Huffington Post for being a tool of the corporatocracy that operates America and much of the world for it profit.  Finally, I believe in We The People.  The Internet belongs to us.
