Protests against Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez polemical decision of closing the oldest and most important private TV channel of the country...
Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

Addressed to easily-deluded and inexperienced young Pinocchio’s among the masses, Democrats are running a meta-message about Obama: That the millions in moolah that he receives in campaign contributions ratify his broad public appeal and support from millions of ordinary citizens.
Addressed to more experienced Mensans, there is a meta-meta-message: That Blue-Blood Monopolized Media is working cheek to jowl with Marxist-Academia to mesmerize the mass-mindset into accepting Obama as Messiah.
But, WHY is monopolized media so engaged? Well, follow the easy money along the yellow, gold bricked road!!!
Consider: If you cared nothing about helping to give definition to “The American Dream,” and had means to live wherever you wished, then would you not entertain yourself in the capital game of quick, easy money? If you happen to be among actual enemies of America, for all the more reason, would you not seek. with capitalist gold, to string America along as your own personal Pinocchio? Would you not avail yourself of access to such Marxist dupes as are so conveniently and rampantly provided among America’s college campuses? (The more we worship thumbs of any stripe, the sooner each of us falls under one.)
Regarding Enlightened Empathy: It is good and sound to accept and believe in capacity in humanity and God for engaging in enlightened empathy. The key, however, is “enlightened.” An enlightened one is ALWAYS wary of those among us who have lost or never had such faith. So, part of Enlightened Empathy is undertaking responsibility to ward off Evil. After all, Evil never rests, and should never be under appreciated!
Red Ass Moderates (Rams) must be clear sighted. Fast, easy money is not just running blue blood, corporate Republicans. It is also running Marxist Democrats. This is why a decent society requires a healthy and powerful middle class. The last thing America needs is a further increase in the Gini index, or a further widening of the gulf between those who have not and those who have it all!
Better shape up, America, because our country needs some Rams!
[Gratuitous Insult: Pinocchio, although not dumb, was inexperienced — which facilitated his lapse for awhile into donkey-hood. I retain “hope” that Democrat-Donkeys may someday come to their senses, which is why I often pull metaphors from common children’s books, of which even the lowest common denominator tends to be familiar. Young Democrats simply tend to lack life’s experiences, making it difficult for them to relate very well to other literature, except in very abstract sense (such as when it helps them feel wise).]

“I shot for the stars and you know I caught it
Dinco D, Busta Rhymes, and Milo saw it
Two years of hell, now we're paid off
To prove my rhymes, that it ain't soft
Yo! Elektra selects a new breed to lead them
In the '90 with success and then
Make everyone look leary
Awww! They know, Pinocchio's Theory
Aww! They know, you check it out for the '90
Dinco D, Busta Rhymes, and Milo's in the place to be, check it out”

“Indeed, the true source of horror for Lovecraft is that, however much the monstrosities whose presence he evokes exceed all powers of human apprehension, so that they are literally indescribable and unvisualizable, they still belong to the same world as we do.”
....
“Capitalism was born out of the “extrinsic conjunction of these two flows: flows of producers and flows of money. . . On one side, the deterritorialized worker who has become free and naked, having to sell his labor capacity; and on the other, decoded money that has become capital and is capable of buying it””
....
“In other words, there are markets without capitalism, but there is no capitalism without the absolute reign of the market. As Wood puts it, “this unique system of market-dependence means that the dictates of the capitalist market – its imperatives of competition, accumulation, profit-maximization, and increasing labour-productivity – regulate not only all economic transactions but social relations in general” (2002, 7). And this is the key to what I have been calling the monstrosity of capital. It is utterly contingent in its origins; and yet, once it has arrived, it imposes itself universally.”
....
“But once it arose, it made market relations compulsory: as Wood says, the so-called “free market” became an imperative, a coerced activity, instead of an opportunity.”
....
“Kant always carefully distinguishes the transcendental from the transcendent. A transcendental condition is one that is universal and a priori, but that applies only to experience, and does not transcend or go beyond experience. That is to say, it emphatically does not refer to noumena, or “things in themselves.” The transcendental is not quite empirical, since it is not found within experience. But it is also, at the same time, nothing but empirical, since it can only be referred to experience. The transcendental is thus a strange borderline concept, neither containable within contingent, empirical existence, nor extending anywhere beyond it. At this border or limit there is indeed, as Nina Power puts it, an “eerie proximity of Kant and Lovecraft,” due to Lovecraft’s “internalisation of Kantian categories in the name of transcendental horror”“
....
“Yet this “unspeakable substratum” is not itself (as Harman amply demonstrates) transcendent, absolute, or otherworldly. It is a feature of our world, and only of our world. Such is the aporia of the transcendental: we encounter something about which we do not know how to speak, but which we also cannot pass over in silence.”
....
“This sense that we ourselves are the effects of forces that are not ours, forces that surpass us and remain indifferent to us, could well be a formula for horror. Of course, neither Kant, nor Bergson, nor Deleuze presents it this way. But Benjamin Noys convincingly argues that “the vortex of seething time” is the ultimate form of horror for Lovecraft, exceeding any particular instance of one monstrous race of beings or another.”

PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Perhaps because my appreciation of meaning or empathy regarding “we ourselves” is infinitely expansive in potential, I fail to appreciate reason to be “convinced” that “we ourselves” are merely and only effects of forces that remain “indifferent” to us.
Although I do agree that all physically manifested aspects about our bodies are merely transcendental, I do not think “essence of I-ness” (or Will, Inclination, Imagination, or Mind) is entirely reducible to transcendental physicality. Rather, I suspect Physical Nature is transcendentally derivative of pure Will-To-Math (aka, “God”).

ABOUT NETROOTS:
From http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7372 :
Netroots activists commonly utilize a technique known as “blogswarming,” whereby they flood the Internet with commentary on whatever particular issue or event they deem vital to the Democratic/leftist cause. According to writer Jonathan Chait:
"... this wording ‘reflects the strange belief that politics is all about noise and narratives’; whoever makes the most noise or gets the most Google hits is going to win, regardless of objective reality.”
On Blogswarming:
From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/opinion/27aamodt.html?th&emc=th :
Consumers of news, for their part, are prone to selectively accept and remember statements that reinforce beliefs they already hold. In a replication of the study of students’ impressions of evidence about the death penalty, researchers found that even when subjects were given a specific instruction to be objective, they were still inclined to reject evidence that disagreed with their beliefs.
....
In 1919, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the Supreme Court wrote that “the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.” Holmes erroneously assumed that ideas are more likely to spread if they are honest. Our brains do not naturally obey this admirable dictum, but by better understanding the mechanisms of memory perhaps we can move closer to Holmes’s ideal.
What is really behind political correctness, blogswarming, fairness doctrine, and First Amendment re-interpretations?

Government Of Law, Or Of Piped Whim?
See http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/06/justice_anthony_kennedy_and_ou.html :
“Make no mistake, Justice Kennedy is running the Supreme Court. It is his vote and his decisions that are making or breaking (mostly breaking) our constitutional rights and our protection as citizens under the law.
What is driving Kennedy's reasoning in these cases? It is not the meaning of the Constitution; it is not an effort to enforce the law and protect Americans; it is his one-man attempt to ensure that the Constitution and the law conform to his "evolving standards of decency."
There is no questioning his integrity. In all of these cases Justice Kennedy was trying to do the "right" thing. The problem is "doing the right thing" is not his job. We know that the four liberals on the court are going to be, well, liberal; but Anthony Kennedy is just trying to be decent.”
Comment: The pace of danger to the First Amendment (thus to us) is accelerating. Free Speech has been lassoed by political correctness, corralled by liberal blogswarmers, and, if so called liberals have their way, will be harpooned by the fairness doctrine. The U.S. may have won the Cold War, but it is about to lose to its own internal 5th Column. Education of our children seems to have gone awfully awry.
FOLLOW THE MONEY: As foreign governments and persons abroad filter campaign contributions to political candidates, do either they or the candidates to whom they are most prone to contribute have America’s best interests at heart?
