Christian Action Network's Pot Calls the Islamist Kettle Black.

The Christian Action Network has come out against the "Islam on Capitol Hill Day" assembly. http://www.christianaction.org/can-events/can-participates-at-press-conference-during-islam-on-capital-hill-day.aspx They fear an Islamic takeover of America. However , they themselves feel that the U.S.A. is by right a christian nation.http://www.brucegourley.com/christiannation/theocracy.htm Therefore the opposition of groups like CAN to groups like Jamaat ul-Fuqra, is in my determination to be of one rival religious fascist group to another. In my personal opinion, if the dominionists and islamists were to wipe each other out in a "holy war" it would be poetic justice. It would also save decent freedom loving people the trouble of violently fighting them. The only problem would be if they were to aquire weapons of mass destruction. That would then devistate the surrounding area, and risk collateral damage. But though it may be wrong for there to be religious violence, it would certainly seem good to me if such reactionary extremists were to thusly cancel each other out. Then secular leftists, like myself, could then destroy a much weakened enemy, whomever of them wins in the end

Reverends Sharpton & Jackson Try to Stop Rush Limbaughs Bid to Buy the St. Louis Rams.

http://www.thestar.com/sports/football/nfl/article/709126--jesse-jackson-al-sharpton-blast-rush-limbaugh-s-bid-for-rams This time the intrusive, meddling, religious leaders in question are coming from the Left. Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson are claiming that Rush Limbaugh is racist, and that he should not be allowed to purchase a NFL team. First of all it is not true that Mr. Limbaugh is racist. If he were then why has he had Walter Willians fill in for him, while he's on vacation? He is certainly strongly conservative, but rightism is not necessarily racist in nature. And further more, even if Rush were to hold extremist sentiments, I feel that it should not impede him from involvement with the Nation Football League. In Italy for example, association football clubs are known to have players and/or fans that are known to have opposing political positions. Livorno for instance is predominately Communist. And Lazio has a reputation for being pro-Fascist. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/62/249.html As a consequence, the two teams are fierce rivals. I feel that if someone like Limbaugh were to invest in a team, it would increase ticket sales, because dittoheads would pay to cheer on the Rams to victory, and detractors would pay to see them go down in flames. I think that it would certainly be a far better reason to be a fan than to be motivated by regionalism. And if Italy can have a backbone, why can't we seem to get past our own rigid political correctness?

Ohio Electric Companies to Distribute "Free" Lightbulbs.

http://www.ohio.com/business/63563322.html?mobile=true http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2009/10/firstenergy_light_bulbs.html First Energy, and it's subsideraries are planning on handing out lightbulbs to there customers. The cost of these lightbulbs however will be added to your bill. In addition there is surplus-value attached to the price of our energy, which is non-competitive, since the energy industry is naturally monopolistic. Therefore no competition is possible, as it operates from a singular power grid. First Energy, which is a private corporation, has a state contract to provide us with electricity. This legal arraingment was what Karl Marx refered to as the "dictatorship of the bourgeois". For all of these above mentioned reasons, I as a socialist personally feel that the energy companies should be publicly owned. For the private industries are, in my opinion, price gouging. Now my grandfather, in Pennsylvania, receives his energy from a co-op. http://www.theenergyco-op.com/aboutus.htm From a left-libertarian perspective, this would be better yet. But no company should be allowed to take advantage of our personal dependence on them for our household needs.
