HennyBogus Right, and I never said so. <OK OK I don't really hate the Russian people, but you sure as hell can't trust em!> Do you really think that is a fair generalization? How many of them have you met or experienced in some other way? Or are you extrapolating from Puting over the hundred of millions of Russians? Or, are you joking? |

If GOP led Congress over rules Obama's nuclear deal ? |

GOP Ardor for War These boys are tumescent for war, but cannot overcome Democratic resistance for unprovoked attacks upon Iran in the way we attacked Iraq. Many Democrats were persuaded NOT to invade Iraq, but simply to agree the president would have authority to act quickly should the situation develop such as to require rapid response. They were, in essence, hoodwinked. Congress should not have ceded the power to declare war so readily. They chose to make themselves as useless as Caesar's horse. |

Austin Close To Destroying Classic American Tradition With New Law B. Christopher Agee April 16, 2015 at 5:33pm In order to satisfy a few residents who have complained about the smoke emanating from certain barbecue restaurants in the city, Austin city council members recently considered implementing new regulations that could put restaurants out of business regardless of whether any complaints were lodged against them. Reports focus on the prevalence of food trucks that billow smoke near residential areas as a primary concern; however, the new rules as written would apply to all restaurants located within 100 feet of a residence. Though the proposal received an initial thumbs up from city leaders, the council has yet to receive a final version of the ordinance on which they can vote. In the interim, barbecue masters and aficionados alike are lamenting the toll such a restriction could take on the cityâs restauranteurs. KXAN reported that the remedies suggested include forcing business owners to obtain âexpensive smoke scrubbersâ or switch their wood-burning pits to gas-operated cookers. Greater Austin Restaurant Association board member Hoover Alexander shared his concern that âif we have an ordinance that paints all of us into one group of folk that may not be good neighbors,â he can foresee being âpenalized without considerations of other solutions.â Local pit master Kent Black shared Alexanderâs concerns, urging the city council to âmake it a little more specifically aimed at where the problem is and hopefully not burden all of the other restaurants where itâs not a problem.â For those who frequent the eclectic cityâs many barbecue restaurants, a major concern seems to be with preserving the flavor they have come to expect. âMaybe you donât understand what BBQ is,â one reader wrote in response to a Washington Weekly News article, âITâS SMOKE!!!!!!â www.westernjournalism.com |

The Communist Manifesto The Communist Manifesto summarizes Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then finally communism. Synopsis â A spectre is haunting Europeâthe spectre of communism. â âOpening sentence The Communist Manifesto is divided into a preamble and four sections, the last of these a short conclusion. The introduction begins by proclaiming "A spectre is haunting Europeâthe spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre". Pointing out that parties everywhereâincluding those in government and those in the oppositionâhave flung the "branding reproach of communism" at each other, the authors infer from this that the powers-that-be acknowledge communism to be a power in itself. Subsequently, the introduction exhorts Communists to openly publish their views and aims, to "meet this nursery tale of the spectre of communism with a manifesto of the party itself". The first section of the Manifesto, "Bourgeois and Proletarians", elucidates the materialist conception of history, that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". Societies have always taken the form of an oppressed majority living under the thumb of an oppressive minority. In capitalism, the industrial working class, or proletariat, engage in class struggle against the owners of the means of production, the bourgeoisie. As before, this struggle will end in a revolution that restructures society, or the "common ruin of the contending classes". The bourgeoisie, through the "constant revolutionising of production [and] uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions" have emerged as the supreme class in society, displacing all the old powers of feudalism. The bourgeoisie constantly exploits the proletariat for its labour power, creating profit for themselves accumulating capital. However, by doing so the bourgeoisie "are its own grave-diggers"; the proletariat inevitably will become conscious of their own potential and rise to power through revolution, overthrowing the bourgeoisie. "Proletarians and Communists", the second section, starts by stating the relationship of conscious communists to the rest of the working class. The communists' party will not oppose other working-class parties, but unlike them, it will express the general will and defend the common interests of the world's proletariat as a whole, independent of all nationalities. The section goes on to defend communism from various objections, such as the claim that communists advocate "free love", and the claim that people will not perform labour in a communist society because they have no incentive to work. The section ends by outlining a set of short-term demandsâamong them a progressive income tax; abolition of inheritances; free public education etc.âthe implementation of which would be a precursor to a stateless and classless society. The third section, "Socialist and Communist Literature", distinguishes communism from other socialist doctrines prevalent at the timeâthese being broadly categorised as Reactionary Socialism; Conservative or Bourgeois Socialism; and Critical-Utopian Socialism and Communism. While the degree of reproach toward rival perspectives varies, all are dismissed for advocating reformism and failing to recognise the pre-eminent revolutionary role of the working class. "Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Opposition Parties", the concluding section of the Manifesto, briefly discusses the communist position on struggles in specific countries in the mid-nineteenth century such as France, Switzerland, Poland, and Germany, this last being "on the eve of a bourgeois revolution", and predicts that a world revolution will soon follow. It ends by declaring an alliance with the social democrats, boldly supporting other communist revolutions, and calling for united international proletarian action. â Working Men of All Countries, Unite! â âClosing line Conservapedia: The Communist Manifesto is a Marxist screed published by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. It lays the foundation for Marxist thinking, teaching that class struggles are the origin of all progress in society. This concept of conflict between the classes dictates Marxism's adherence to the evolutionary theory of punctuated equilibrium, which accords with Marxist social beliefs. The manifesto outlines the theory of communism, in which the poor working class (proletariats) violently overthrow the middle class and government (bourgeois). The Manifesto influenced the Communist Revolution in Russia and elsewhere, leading to the Cold War and numerous atrocities committed throughout Eastern Europe, such as the Holodomor in Ukraine. Currently, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Laos are widely considered to be communist countries. www.conservapedia.com |
