On this last day of the year 2010, I would like to quote from someone I did not know even existed and hour ago.
" what we think, or what we know, or what we believe , is in the end , of LITTLE Consequence. The ONLY thing of Consequence is what we DO "
by J R
I post this here , because on Huffington Post in the past week or so, I have been warning people that all the commenting that we engage in DIFFUSES our Power. It is .............WORDs NOT ACTS .
It looks as if we active, but we do NOT ACCOMPLISH anything really !!
that is why I loved that saying. It was by author, art critic, and social reformer named JOHN RUSKIN
and a friend of mine sent that line to me tonight via Email. I am very grateful to him.
It proves that my worrying was correct.
Our Commenting seems like activity, and concern.................but it ends up as ineffective as COMPLACENCY.
Because what we need is ACTIONS not WORDS....anymore.
So let us hope we can Mobilize and Organize to ACT and WIN
Wishing you all a SUCCESSFUL 2011 !

NO LABELS ?????part 3
Dec 30, 2010
This morning C-span journal had a discussion titled " ENDing Washington GRIDLOCK "
with 2 of the founders of the No-Labels group.
David Frum and another Gentleman I had not seen before by the name of William Galston.
I had a better impression of them, specially Mr Galston, who spoke of REFORM of Political SYSTEM , when a caller talked about that .
He spoke of their agenda as follows a citizen's generated agenda
1- STOP demonizing others
2-...........................................?
3- Solve problems mode
4- put Country FIRST.............
This last item was same as Alliance for America started 2004 as a DREAM and here as a blog on Dec 2006.
so WHY should they not come to me for advice ??

The American People ? or the American VOTERS?
Dec 26. 2010
You have , i am sure , heard many Politicians say " The American People " ...........blah etc
Perhaps fewer people have NOTICED that it is usually the GOPers who use that term to prove their own positions.............for exemple remember how many always used to say that The American People Do NOT LIKE this Health Care Obamacare..................etc
and Now after the Midterm Elections of Nov 2, they keep saying that The AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN ..........etc etc
WELL, I BEG TO DIFFER ...................what really happened on NOV 2. is that
The AMERICAN VOTERs have spoken their preference.
Since MILLIONS of AMERICAN people who were eligible to Vote DID NOT VOTE on Nov 2 !!!
So please, whenever you hear a GOPer say THE AMERICAN PEOPLE want this or that..............make them correct their phrase by saying the american VOTERS have.....etc etc
SO , NOW let us look at those voters ...the number of Voters who voted Nov 2, 2o1o
I have found a number on wikileaks about the SENATE.
here they are : SENATE VOTES
for GOP votes 37,057,491
for DEM votes 33,883,538
_______________
the difference is ................... 3,173,953 voters made the difference !!
i do not know the exact numbers, but I have heard that among the 19-29 year old who had suppoted Obama by 23 million ........this time only 14 million came out to vote
so we could say that 9 million sat this midterm out.................and if only HALF of these realized what horrible change would occur the DEMS would still have kept their Majority.
The POLITICAL SIN of this election was that citizens who may have been upset about OBAMA had the stupidity to ...........TAKE IT OUT on the DEMOCRATS in 111th Congess who have worked SO HARD to pass HEALTH CARE and WALL STREET REFORM STUDENT LOAN and many other good bills (0ver 300) that were passed in the House by PELOSI ................but were stuck in the ABOMINABLE SENATE .

WELL, I certainly was glad this morning to hear NPR 's Diane Rheem bring 4 persons to discuss this so called new movement of NO-LABELS. ( 10 to 11 am )
Obviously, E.J DIONNE critique was right on.
and an email sender by the name of LISA who really expressed what i have always felt about this idea of Moderation.............which she said NO one marches to protest for Mediocrity
Indeed , this idea of Centrism is truly over rated ..............if you think of Center on a HORIZZONTAL Line
Besides the most dangerous thing is this idea of OPEN primary
LOOK what the " citizens United ".............................and the $$$$$
so from now on ONLY totally unkown candidate supported by the contribution of unkown source will win and you can bet that only those that match the GOP philosophy will win
JUST as the TEAbag..ers have been really the vehicle to make GOP win.
That is the story of Nov 2, 2010 election.
on this CULT of CENTER :
EJ DIONNE kept repeating that CENTER LEFT is closer to Center than the RIGHT let alone Far right which is now being called center right to fool people
there is a false EQUIVALENCY here ................
remember how that AVLON tried to call Olbermaan a Wingnut with PALIN and O'Reilly just to prove that he was a centrist .
well this NO LABEL Politicians remind me of that too.
IF their JUDGEMENT is so blind as not to see the difference between the present LEFT and RGHT in America , you can absolutely not trust them.
When I see FAIRNESS in Judgement ...........i will begin to consider them!!!!
FOR years the LEFT has been villified just as Liberals and they have been forced to Moderate themselves..........so there is NO FAR LEFT in America now.
so have a look at this :
LEFT ............CENTER...........................................................RIGHT
UNDERSTOOD ???
Besides let me tell you that the Politicians and Media pundits and pollsters who keep saying this country is CENTER RiGHT ...............are just using Goebel's theory.
Politicians should say things that they wish people to believe..........and they should keep repeating it always.................and the bigger the lie the more people will believe it .

NO LABELS ?????
Dec 15, 2010
I started Alliance for America in order to unite people around the idea that we should ally with other citizens for the sake of America.
I think it was Dec 1 , of 2004 that I bought from Go Daddy ALLIANCEFORAMERICA.
Then when I heard about Blogger.com and due to the importance of the state of our politics , I started this blog here.
SO , my first entry was on Dec 13, 2006..................In an Open letter to my fellow citizens , I wrote about my dream to create an ALLIANCE for ....AMERICA
SO , when I heard NO LABELs coming into existence just 2 days ago............just as the UNITY thing began in 2008, I was not really impressed.
I know that my intention is better than theirs. But of course , I am not famous and they are.
And if you do have time to have a look at the post of 12/14/2006 there are 2 comments which have been made by malee and yasmine
Have a look at them ...................Malee talks about making the American GOV the best in the world as the goal of ALLIANCE for AMERICA !!
So , perhaps the NO-Labels should contiact me and ask my advice.!! ha ha ha
December 16 2010
This morning I was very happy to hear that Diane RHEEM 's subject of discussion was the NO LABELS group
Can you imagine ? this group as one emailer wrote by the name of Lisa WHERE is the GRASS ROOTS..............some big shots decide to do something and obviously you can always fool l Million people............and she wrote NO ONE marches to Protest FOR MEDIOCRITY .!!!!
ALSO the best evaluation of this so- called movement was made by E J DIONNE of Brookings
I have not even gone to look at their site.
ANYWAY
