Obama And Bin Laden Are One Individual: Irrefutable Proof
Posted by Dennes Longoria - May 3, 2011 at 5:45 pmI’m aware that Obama claims to have killed Bin Laden, but when a story like that gets spread around the world by every mainstream outlet at the exact same time… it makes people like me go online and begin googling for alternative versions (because I know better than to trust the mainstream media about any thing)… so out of the corner of my eye I see: ‘Obama = Osama’.
Who Cares If Obama’s Long Form Birth Cerfiticate Is A Fake?!
Posted by Dennes Longoria - April 30, 2011 at 2:28 amThe whole birther phenomena has taken over, notwithstanding Obama’s release of his long form birth certificate—or a copy thereof. As soon as Donald Trump took up the cause few weeks back, it went mainstream and just exploded, as well as on blogs everywhere, basically. Then just yesterday Obama finally released a digital version of his long form birth certificate—and made a big deal of ‘‘oh god, you won’t believe what I had to go through to get this—hope you’ll shut up now, Trump…’’. All sorts of conspiracy theories began on whether the document was a forgery.

Posted by Dennes Longoria - April 7, 2011 at 11:39 pmMSNBC’s coverage of Donald Trump earlier today was shameful. They made a mockery of objective reporting and where on high RPM’s all day discrediting and attacking Trump for being a “birther”. What’s a birther? A birther is someone who thinks that Obama was not born in the U.S. and who claim it is one of the qualifications for being president of the U.S. Therefore they conclude that Obama is not qualified to be president and is therefore in breach of some major rules, and probably should be imprisoned.
Up Against It

"To the sneering disappointment of the puritanical left, Obama has turned out to be pretty much exactly what he said he'd be during his '08 campaign: flawed, exceedingly moderate, a resolute compromiser, overly pragmatic when he should've been a badass, temperate when he should've been white hot and furious, offering concessions when he should be bringing the hammer down."

Drug war laws used for dreadful revenge against justice activist
Posted by Benjamin Melançon - April 2, 2011 at 4:53 amCivil rights activist Catrina Wallace, who received national attention for her role in organizing protests around the Jena Six case, was convicted today of three counts of distribution of a controlled substance. Wallace, who is 30, became an activist after her brother, Robert Bailey, was arrested and charged with attempted murder for a school fight. Bailey and five others later became known as the Jena Six. Their case eventually brought 50,000 people on a march through the town of Jena, and as a result of the public pressure the six young men were eventually freed. The six young men are all now in college or - in the case of the youngest - on their way.

If Huckabee Is What The Right Is Offering, I’ll Take Obama Instead
Posted by Dennes Longoria - March 7, 2011 at 11:15 pmHave you been keeping up with this royal asshole that’s on Fox News dissing Natalie Portman for example, for being unwed, but really directing his hate to “mr. absent evil dad”, when in fact she’s engaged to marry with the father of the kid, but I digress. The Huckabee type of stable Christian marriage so-called, is nothing but a God damned farce. I was there. I was doing all the things the way the Bible said to do it (to the best of my ability), and then what happens? I get my children taken away by the Government because reading the Bible is dangerous to children.
The challenge of Bolivarian Geopolitics - Multipolarity vs. Social Justice in Libya
Posted by Ron Smith - March 6, 2011 at 4:31 amThe deeply problematic position of the Chavez regime in reference to the outbreak of popular democracy in Libya reveals the contradictions inherent in the Bolivarian revolution, particularly its need for a multipolar world. Chavez certainly has made a public display of support for the most troubled regimes, one can recall Bush's 'Axis of Evil' in particular, and while it has worked for him in the past as a symbolic gesture of independence, he has now made the wrong call.
