Dear world, please confront America

Is it possible to fall out of love with your own country? For two years, I, like many Americans, have been focused intently on documenting, exposing, and alerting the nation to the Bush administration’s criminality and its assault on the Constitution and the rule of law — a story often marginalized at home. I was certain that when Americans knew what was being done in their name, they would react with horror and outrage.

Three months ago, the Bush administration still clung to its devil’s sound bite, “We don’t torture.” Now, Doctors Without Borders has issued its report documenting American-held detainees’ traumas, and even lie detector tests confirm they have been tortured. The Red Cross report has leaked: torture and war crimes. Jane Mayer’s impeccably researched exposé “The Dark Side” just hit the stores: torture, crafted and directed from the top.

The Washington Post gave readers actual video footage of the abusive interrogation of a Canadian minor, Omar Khadr, who was seen showing his still-bleeding abdominal wounds, weeping and pleading with his captors.
So the truth is out and freely available. And America is still napping, worrying about its weight, and hanging out at the mall.

Veiled sexuality

I experienced it myself. I put on a shalwar kameez and a headscarf in Morocco for a trip to the bazaar. Yes, some of the warmth I encountered was probably from the novelty of seeing a Westerner so clothed; but, as I moved about the market — the curve of my breasts covered, the shape of my legs obscured, my long hair not flying about me — I felt a novel sense of calm and serenity. I felt, yes, in certain ways, free.

Nor are Muslim women alone. The Western Christian tradition portrays all sexuality, even married sexuality, as sinful. Islam and Judaism never had that same kind of mind-body split. So, in both cultures, sexuality channeled into marriage and family life is seen as a source of great blessing, sanctioned by God.

The above was a paid message brought to you by Think Progress

If someone wants to lecture me, they better be in a position to have earned the authority to do so and my respect of them in order to submit to such a lecture.

Obama has not earned this , at all. All of his lecturing is hollow to me... Who the hell is he to lecture anyone about anything? What has he accomplished in life that he is anyone's better? He's accomplished nothing.. He's earned nothing.

I think this is a major component in why people are just turned off whenever the jerk speaks.

I rather lay in my own urine vomit and feces for a month than watch the SOTU.

"Marxism scores over traditional religion for a certain kind of person because in Judaeo-Christian thinking you are supposed to examine your own conscience and feel bad about yourself; Marxism allows you to place all the blame onto other people and feel proudly self-righteous and anti-bourgeois when you do so. 'Mea culpa' becomes 'tua culpa'. "

Glenn Beck's humiliation of Klien last night was outstanding.

I would sue for defamation

"He wants to see more equality in the standard of living"

Oh yay.. we all get to be equally poor.

Where in the Constitution is the President given this responsibility?

I'll wait...

"Considering the total collapse of the American (and thus the world) economy, that was imminent when he took office, there is ONLY one question that needs be answered about Obama's presidency:"

What was mechanism of the collapse and how did Obama somehow stop this?

No choice for Negative 5,395,970?
