still persists on the Korean Peninsula. <br /> <br /> The UNSC-crafted UN Command itself is a signatory to the Korean Armistice Agreement. <br /> <br /> Any hostile act by the UNSC immediately means the abrogation of the Armistice Agreement. <br /> <br /> The world will soon find out how the army and people of the DPRK will stand up against the high-handed and get-it-alone approach of the UNSC in defending its dignity and sovereignty. <br /> <br /> The U.S. is keen on using a catchphrase Carrot and stick. <br /> <br /> It would be better for the Donkey of the U.S. Democratic Party to lick the

Many of these Republicans are the same politicians who instituted or cheerled the installation of a "national security" police state and worked for a unitary executive presidency. In case anyone out there is confused, I've put up a few examples of people who really do have libertarian leanings, as well as a list of "sunshine libertarians" who are desperate to hide from a now hated party id and governing philosophy. <br /> <br /> Libertarianism is a big umbrella - there are pure libertarians, right-leaning and left-leaning libertarians, etc. There are not, however, authoritarian or jingoistic libertarians. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.americanfreedomagenda.org/">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/12/22/candidates_on_executive_power_a_full_spectrum/?p1=Well_MostPop_Emailed3 <br /> ">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.cato.org/pubs/wtpapers/powersurge_healy_lynch.pdf">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7JPvbVsDdY">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy3eOCkLVaw">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDB22hqd6bU">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6qqoGrgE0s">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUwERBdEDbE">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULlIMbvY7P8">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gdul74iuUo">actually libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z53WJHFChQ">a libertarian chatting with an authoritarian </a> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/02/12/the-fisa-fight-nutroots-lose-america-wins/">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/hannity-suggests-christianity-compatible-tor/">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/06/bin-laden-driver-found-guilty-by-military-tribunal/">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121366596327979497.html?mod=rss_opinion_main/">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2006/11/12/dem-agenda-securing-foreign-terrorist-rights/">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.brendan-nyhan.com/blog/2005/12/sen_john_cornyn.html">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKFYpd0q9nE">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dvEeK_th3s">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz01hN9l-BM">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbQLuZ28EEM">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_A77N5WKWM">not libertarian</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPd9yjvF7Mw">not libertarian</a> <br /> Thu, 16 Apr 2009 09:09:04 -0500Your modern day GOPhttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Your_modern_day_GOP<object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6G3fvNhdoc0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0">

Some fell onto empty ground, some onto roads, some on parked cars and some on people's houses and apartments. <br /> <br /> <br /> Every time a tree fell, I heard the loud violent crash. Every crash of the failing trees carried with it the distinct possibility that the tree had landed on an occupied house or car. It seemed as though nature itself had determined to play Russian Roulette with the homes and lives of my neighbors. <br /> <br /> All of that I heard, in just one hour on one block. And that was before the refreeze and the extra sleet. <br /> <br /> Now I am in Siloam, relatively safer, and fortunate enough to have family and shelter and electricity. <br /> <br /> But I can'sleep - each time I hear a tree creaking or moaning or branches giving way is like a haunting reminder of all of the people still trapped in their homes, surrounded by frozen trees on the verge of collapse, some of whom will fall onto houses, through roofs and then onto whatever is beneath those roofs. <br /> <br /> Each creek is a reminder that somewhere else a tree has just fallen, and one more person might just have been killed. <br /> <br /> I don't know exactly why I'm writing all of this, or who I'm writing it too - if anyone. I just hope the worst has passed, and that all of you are safe and sound with power. (and internets, of course.)Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:33:38 -0600IIIhttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5III I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner. Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance. The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the sting of the blade. Henceforth will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in a like manner. If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. <br /> <br /> Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> Henceforth, I will consider each days effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow of my blade may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today. <br /> <br /> I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tommorrows good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm. <br /> <br /> I will persist until I succeed. <br /> <br /> Nor will I allow yesterdays success to lull me into todays complacency, for this is the greatest foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life. <br /> <br /> So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win. <br /> <br /> I will persist. <br /> <br /> I will win. <br /> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:26:13 -060010 more days!http://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/510_more_daysJust 10 more days... <br /> <img src="/images/coolestest.jpg" alt="coolestest" />Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:46:05 -0600Trying to get the whole story straight on the mortgage crisishttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Trying_to_get_the_whole_story_straight_on_the_mortgage_crisisI'm trying to figure out the whole story behind the mortgage crisis. Here is the (very imperfect) story I've got so far: <br /> <br /> <blockquote>Before the Great Depression, investment services and commercial banking services were often dealt with by the same companies. <br /> <br /> This led to frequent conflicts of interest and to fraud and abuse. <br /> <br /> In the prosperous 1920s, the volume of investment and banking increased - and fraud and abuse increased as well. <br /> <br /> In the late 1920s, there was a speculative boom. More and more people were investing in the stock market, causing prices to go higher, causing more confidence in a bullish market, causing people to buy even more stock, etc. <br /> <br /> This led to a bubble, where stocks were highly overvalued. <br /> <br /> Eventually, people were investing so much that they were actually taking out loans and then putting the money in the stock market. <br /> <br /> Like all financial bubbles, this one eventually crashed in 1929, marking the beginning of the Great Depression. The stock market did not recover to pre-1929 values until 1954. <br /> <br /> In response, FDR and the Democratic Congress passed a law in the 1930s to separate investment from banking. <br /> <br /> Later in 1938, FDR Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:12:00 -0500Don't Talk About the Warhttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Dont_Talk_About_the_WarDon't talk about the war.

We have, or at least we are supposed to have, a government with three seperate divisions: executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive branch is supposed to enforce the law, the legislative branch is supposed to make the law, and the judicial branch interprets the constitutionality of the law and settles disputes. Each power is supposed to be a check on the other. The executive has all the power to enforce the law, but cannot make it. If the president doesn't like a law, he may veto it. The legislature can make the law, but cannot enforce the law and cannot make law in violation of the Constitution. The Supreme Court cannot make its own law, and cannot enforce law, but has the last say on what laws are valid and how they ought to be applied and interpreted. Simple 4th grade politics, right? </p> <br /> <p> GWB, however, does not play by the rules. When he does not like a certain bill, he doesn't veto it. He has never vetoed a single law to date. Instead, he signs the bill into law. He then issues a '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_statement">signing statement</a>', a note announcing that he is not obliged to follow the law. He insists that, as president, no law has authority over the executive because of the clause in the constitution which reads "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." Of course, this clause was clearly not meant to mean the president is not subject to law (otherwise the constitution would not award veto powers to him because they would be meaningless.) In similar fasion, President Bush also ignores Supreme Court decisions and precedents whenever he pleases. He has already disobeyed over 750 laws since coming into office in 2001. </p> <br /> <p> He believes that he can get away with this because he doesn't think the Republican-dominated Congress will stand up to him. He is right. Hopefully the Democrats will retake the House this November, in which case impeachment is a certainty. But the Democrats - even with a Senate takeover - will never garner enough votes in the Senate to actually remove him from office. So, even if he is impeached, he will still be free to do as he pleases. The level of partisanship in our country is so great that enough conservatives will continue to support him - because God forbid they don't get another anti-abortion vote on the Supreme Court. </p> Sun, 30 Apr 2006 23:18:57 -0500Colbert winshttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Colbert_winsStephen Colbert is my hero.

You probably <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-daou/ignoring-colbert-a-small_b_20092.html">won't hear about it much in the mainstream media</a>. Why? Because Colbert calls them all out on being the presidential ass kissers that they are. He pwns the President from 5 feet away, staring right at him while he does it.

I also believe that discrimination on account of race or sex is wrong. I don't understand why so many people believe that it is okay to use racism and sexism to fight racism and sexism. </p> <br /> <br /> <p> I readily admit that women and racial minorities are still being discriminated against - and that we all have a moral responsibility to put an end to that as best we can. But to really destroy racism, we need to think of each other not as 'black' people or 'white' people, but just people. Affirmative action isn't doing that. Instead, it reinforces the ideas that it is supposed to diminish: that it is ok to treat people based on what kind of group they fit into instead of treating them based on their personal virtues, vices, accomplishments, responsibilities and handicaps. </p> <br /> <br /> <p> Proponents of affirmative action claim that we must provide special opportunities and assistance to certain groups of people because they are at an economic disadvantage compared to other groups. If this is so, what is the use in providing assistance based on race or sex? Why not provide this assistance to all people at economic disadvantage? Would this not effect the same groups of people the most - because they are more disadvantaged than most - yet do so without discrimination based on race or sex? </p>Tue, 25 Apr 2006 23:49:51 -0500Down with personal liberty!http://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Down_with_personal_liberty<h4> New from Social Conservatism! </h4><h4> From the same intellectually unsound, quasi-evil ideology that brought you: </h4> <br /> <br /> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Opposition to slavery abolition</li> <li>Opposition to equal rights for women</li> <li>Opposition to interracial marriage</li> <li>Opposition to constitutional democracy</li> <li>Opposition to religious freedom</li> <li>Opposition to desegregation</li> <li>Opposition to condoms</li> <li>Opposition to Spongebob Squarepants</li> <li>Opposition to stem-cell research</li> </ul> <br /> <br /> <p>...comes...</p> <h3>Opposition to equal rights of marriage and adoption!</h3> <br /> <br /> <p> <strong>SEE!</strong> How the same arguments used to oppose interracial marriage can be recycled to reduce thinking! </p> <blockquote style="font-style: italic">"<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Interracial </span> Homosecksual marriage isn't right in the eyes of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!"</blockquote> <blockquote style="font-style: italic">"It isn't a violation of equal rights, because uppity <span style="text-decoration: line-through">negroes</span> fags can still get married, just not to <span style="text-decoration: line-through">whites</span> gays!"</blockquote> <blockquote style="font-style: italic">"It isn't fair for children to be raised by <span style="text-decoration: line-through">ungodly oreos</span> ungodly sodomites because the children would be subjected to hate spewed by <span style="text-decoration: line-through">racists</span> homophobes (like us) !

Why? A variety of poorly thought out reasons. Here are some of the common complaints people have:</p> <br /> <br /> <p>"Wal-mart puts mom and pop stores out of business"</p> <br /> <br /> <p>"Wal-mart pays their employees low wages"</p> <br /> <br /> <p>"Wal-mart does a poor job of providing employees with health insurance"</p> <br /> <br /> <p> News flash to Wal-Mart employees: <strong>You don't have to work at Wal-Mart</strong>. It isn't mandatory. Get a job somewhere else! There are no laws compelling anyone to work for Wal-Mart. Personally, I don't think anyone - excepting high school students working part-time - should work in a Wal-Mart at all. I agree, they pay low wages and don't have a good insurance program. So, just don't work there. If people would just refuse to work there, Wal-Mart would be forced to treat its employees better. However, Wal-Mart wages aren't horrifically low as many would have you believe. The average Wal-Mart Sales Associate (the most common Wal-Mart job) makes $8.23 per hour, over $3 per hour more than minimum wage. The average full-time employee makes almost $10 per hour. Also, when people point out the fact that people who work for Wal-Mart make low wages, they forget that these people would probably be working somewhere else making the same low wages if Wal-Mart weren't around. In other words, Wal-Mart isn't quite holding people back from being millionaires.</p> <br /> <br /> <p> It is unfair to a law-abiding company to be specifically singled out by the government (with the exception of abusive monopolies), but that is exactly what has been happening to Wal-Mart. The state of Maryland has just passed a law mandating that all companies in the state with over 10,000 employees must spend at least 8% of their payroll on health care. Of course, Wal-Mart is the only company affected by the law. While we do need to make sure that everyone in the U.S. has health insurance, we need to do it in a way that does not specifically punish certain businesses in favor of others. </p> <br /> <br /> <p> When it comes to complaints about mom and pop stores, remember that Wal-Mart doesn't shut down them down - people do, by choosing to shop elsewhere. If the people in a community want to keep their mom and pop stores and don't want a Wal-Mart, then they are free to continue shopping at those stores. <strong>You don't have to shop at Wal-Mart</strong>. Trust me; if people don't shop at a Wal-Mart, it isn't going to hang around. But most people tend to like lower prices and convenience, so they end up shopping at Wal-Mart. If you really oppose Wal-Mart enough to force them out of town through government but you still shop there you are a hypocrite and someone should drive a truck into you.</p> <br /> <br /> <p> And why exactly does Wal-Mart have such low prices, anyway? Wal-Mart's size enables it to purchase goods in huge volumes for reduced prices, and they have a very efficient system in place managing inventory and buying to reduce losses from being overstocked or under stocked. It is also very careful about scheduling to reduce overtime pay, as well as cutting general costs like reducing paper consumption by using computers.</p> <br /> <br /> <p> Now don't get me wrong. I'm not a corporate cheerleader and I know Wal-Mart has a lot of problems. But the way they have been attacked lately is just crazy.</p> Tue, 18 Apr 2006 01:41:43 -0500To what extent is the government illegally spying on us?http://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5To_what_extent_is_the_government_illegally_spying_on_us To me, the idea that the federal government is illegally spying on us without warrants still sounds like a wacky conspiracy theory.<span> </span>But it is true.<span> </span>And I am beginning to wonder as to the extent of the spying.<span> </span>Former NSA employee Russell Tice told the House of Representatives that the spying program is of a <a href="http://www.upi.com/SecurityTerrorism/view.php?StoryID=20060214-053955-9494r" title="http://www.upi.com/SecurityTerrorism/view.php?StoryID=20060214-053955-9494r">much larger scope</a> than the president has <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051217.html" title="President's Radio Address, December 17 2005">admitted</a>.<span> </span>Is the spying, like the president claims, of a very limited scope, applying only to international calls – or <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/17/opinion/17mon2.html?ex=1302926400&en=12d6d6d3ba1be9e8&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss" title="AT&T and Domestic Spying">is it much broader?


Recently, retired AT&T technician Mark Klein has come forward and submitted an affidavit alleging that AT&T has equipment set up that monitors and diverts its customers’ internet traffic and phone calls to the NSA.<span> </span>The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a class-action <a href="http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/att/" title="EFF's Class-Action Lawsuit Against AT&T for Collaboration with Illegal Domestic Spying Program">suit against AT&T, and has demanded that AT&T immediately cease this illegal activity. They have filed evidence that they say supports their claims, including documents explaining how the spying equipment works. Unfortunately, none of us are able to view the actual evidence for ourselves because it has been kept secret from the public.



In fact, we may never know what kind of evidence the EFF and Mark Klein have, because the case may never come to trial. The government can request that the court throw the entire suit out under the State Secrets Privilege. Hence, for the moment, we are all left to wonder whether the government is listening to our phone calls and reading our e-mails, and what it is doing – or with whom it is sharing – our information. <br /> <br /> </p> <h3>For anyone not yet convinced of the warrantless wiretapping program's illegality</h3> <p class="MsoNormal"> There is simply no question that the wiretapping program is illegal. Remember Nixon and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate" title="Watergate">Watergate</a>? At that time, our nation was grappling with the same questions as it now is with regard to presidential power and warrantless surveillance. It wasn't legal when Nixon did it. In fact, just so there would be no further confusion over the legality of a president or the executive branch wiretapping without warrants, Congress passed and President Carter signed a new law called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act" title="Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act">Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act</a>. This act made explicit the fact that warrants are required for surveillance. The act also spells out exactly how to legally wiretap. In addition, to allow the government flexibility in cases where it didn't have time to obtain a warrant, there is a special part that allows the government to wiretap immediately w/o warrant - provided they go back to a special FISA court after the fact to a special court later to obtain one. The FISA court has granted over 18,761 and rejected only 5. Furthermore, FISA has been updated 5 times since September 11, 2001, to adapt it to the demands of wiretapping a new type of enemy. <br /> <br /> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> The administration has tried claiming that it can violate FISA because congress voted to go after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan in late 2001. It has also tried to claim that the US Constitution gives the president the authority to pick and choose which laws he or she wants to follow, and which ones he or she does not want to follow. Call me crazy, but I <a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution" title="US Constitution">couldn't find that part in the constitution</a>. <br /> <br /> </p> <h3>For anyone wondering why average, law-abiding citizes should care that the government is spying on them without judicial oversight</h3> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out <a href="http://www.aclu.org/pizza/index.html?orgid=EA071904Sun, 16 Apr 2006 21:41:13 -0500Sprint Customer Service & getting sodomized by the Capital One armyhttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Sprint_Customer_Service_amp__getting_sodomized_by_the_Capital_One_army <p>Sprint just made the list.

Bush is a moronhttp://www.drewjoseph.com/2012/5Fact___George_W._Bush_is_a_moronIt is official; CNN confirms: George W. Bush is a moron. One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered George W. Bush community of supporters when IDC confirmed that George W. Bush's IQ has dropped yet again, now down to less than 1 percent of the national average. Coming on the heels of a recent CNN survey which plainly states that <strong>George W. Bush has lost more brain cells</strong>, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. George W. Bush's cerebral cortex is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by falling dead last in a recent 2nd grade spelling bee. <p> You don't need to be a <a href="http://www.kreskin.com/">Kreskin</a> to predict George W. Bush's future. The hand writing is on the wall: George W. Bush faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for George W. Bush because <strong>George W. Bush is a moron</strong>. Things are looking very bad for George W. Bush. As many of us are already aware, George W. Bush continues to lose popular support. Red ink flows like a river of blood. </p> <p>Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. </p> <p>White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan states that there are 7000 remaining supporters worldwide of George W. Bush. How many of these supporters are Americans? Let's see. The number of all Dubya supporters versus American supporters posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 American supporters. Registered US voter posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of total American supporter posts. Therefore there are about 700 registered American voters who support George W. Bush. A recent article put non-American Bush supporters at about 80 percent of total George W. Bush supporters. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Dubya supporters. This is consistent with the number of Dubya supporter Usenet posts. </p> <p> Due to the troubles of the state of Texas, abysmal leadership and so on, <strong>Dubya went out of employment</strong> and was taken over by United States executive branch which runs another troubled government. <strong>Now the United States economy is also fucked up</strong>, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. </p> <p> All major polls show that George W. Bush's leadership skills and <a href="http://www.dubyaspeak.com/">spelling abilities</a> have steadily declined. George W. Bush's popular support is very sick and his long term prospects are very dim. If George W. Bush is to survive at all it will be among retired <a href="http://www.theboywhocriediraq.com/">oil</a> executive dilettante dabblers. George W. Bush's support continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, George W. Bush's presidency is dead. </p> <p> <strong>Fact: George W.
