Worth the hour listen

Very troubling, especially regarding influence on foreign policy and, even scarier, the military hierarchy penetration. Yikes!

Religion

Religion almost always conforms to politics in the long-term.

When these Islamic countries are pissed about their occupiers, it tends to slowly creep into religious terminology about stopping the infidel and Jihad and so-on and so forth. So if we have neoconservative foreign policy, it's almost inevitable that it becomes religious eventually.

IMHO.

Btw- have you seen any of Blumethal's videos of him going to Hagee's conventions? Those are pretty funny too.

same here--

it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

I wouldn't call him names (LOL!), but I began to be suspicious of him 20 years ago, and I regret using a wooden spoon on my child's hand (20 years ago)--

I felt I had to pull away; I realized that on some levels he may have meant well--

but when he was SO intent on Bush I became suspicious that he was more than just naive--

much more . . .

a sad waste of talent--

Read~Escape from Freedom by Erich Fromm

I read this last year while exploring Personality Theories ( in trying to understand why people do not "wake up"! ) This book was very helpful to me as I explored the "types" of personalities that are authoritarian followers.

Fromm describes three ways in which we escape from freedom:

Read the first link by Dr. C. George Boeree. I am troubled for it will require a lot of personal honesty and I anticipate a lot of this process before I am satisfied:
