First here is a commentary about Islam and Muslims connecting the dots between America and the West actions in the Middle East and elsewhere which have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent citizens and the violent reactions of Muslims to the dispicable film denigrating the Prophet Muhammad and Islam. The film as such may be a spark or rationalization for the violence at first blush but the violence is a response to Weatern and American Imperialism and expansionism throughout the Middle East and elsewhere around the Globe. Some one million Iraqis have died because of the unnecessary, immoral and illegal US invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Tens of thousands it is believed were killed by Western forces bombing non stop for six months the towns, villages and cities of Libya ostensibly to rid Libya os the supposedly evil /Anti-Christ Qaddafi . Americans could have taken a different route but the only solution America has for international relations like Empires before them is brute force or "Gun Boat Diplomacy".
Iraq even now is still in Chaos and much of its infrastructure has not been restored after being bombe by the occupying forces. Obama and the Democrats and republicans and the media may think or want to believe that now Iraq is a peaceful and secure democracy but this is not the case and is rather a matter of self-delusion at the least and at the worst just another Big Lie that Obama and the elite are foisting upon their fellow Americans and the world at large.

But Isn't altruism which Paul Ryan and the GOP and his hero Ayn Rand disparages at the very heart of the Christian message as explained by Jesus in his story of The Good Samaritan who helps a fellow human being even though this person requiring aid is of a tribe, or ethnic group or of a religion or a social class abhored and despised and hated by everyone else . The other travellers on the road pass the injured person without stopping or helping .
Jesus teaches that those who did nothing to help this person are disobeying one of the key messages of Christianity and Judaism which is "to do unto others as you would have them do onto you ". And yet the extremist now controlling the Republican Party whether Secular or on the Religious Right believe you should only help yourself ot possibly family members or people of a like mind so Christians should only help fellow Christians or members of one's Alma Mater or social club or one's own tax bracket or only those who are of the same color as you etc.
But the Good Samaritan seeing only a fellow human being in need of hep does The Right Thing and helps the injured man gets him a room at an inn and leaves money so that the injured man can stay at the Inn and be fed until he is able to leave on his own. This is far from merely dialling 911.
Unfortunately Americans in general and the Republicans and the Religious Right and the selfish self-centered libertarian Machine Men as Charlie Chaplain says in the Great Dictator
Here's some commentary by Ed Schultz and Senator Bernie Sanders on this poor performance at AARP convention by Ayn Rand devotee VP wannabe Paul Ryan
The ED Show - Paul Ryan gets booed at AARP convention
And now a secret tape of Paul Ryan has surfaced which shows what a great devotee of Ayn Rand Paul Ryan actually is.
Paul Ryan and others of a like mind believe in only doing what's advantage for one's self. To help out those in need Ryan and Rand believe is true folly. After all given the natural laws of evolution as characterized by the followers of Social Darwinism only the strong or the fittest shouls be permitted to survive. To help out those who are in nedd is to encourage their survivability and that of their descendents which leads they believe to polluting the human gene pool.
Hitler and other fanatics would have agreed with Ayn Rand to encourage the breeding of strong and fit humans and to discard the rest. Paul Ryan is certain that he and others who belong to the elite class in the USA or elsewhere must be given total freedom to act without any interference from government or other institutions or groups all in order to eventually create a purer stock of Supermen who are not bound by the ridiculous rules or morality of the Government or other institutions.
Ryan's 'Secret' Tape Is Even More Extreme Than Romney's : Paul Ryan's recording reveals his radical hostility toward the nation's most popular social programs. by Richard (RJ)Eskow via Alternet.org , September 25, 2012 |
Editor's Note: AlterNet's Adele Stan reported last week about Ryan's call for ending social security and Ryan's belief that minorities have made themselves part of a ' victimization class
When they booed Paul Ryan at the American Association of Retired Persons last week, most people didn't even know he called Medicare and Social Security "third party or socialist-based systems." Or that he said he wants to privatize them in order to "break the back" of a "collectivist philosophy."
On recently transcribed remarks from an audio recording, Ryan said his ideas and values were shaped by an extremist author who thought humanity must "reject the morality of altruism," and that his opinions on monetary policy are guided by a fictional speech which says "the words 'to make money' hold the essence of human morality."
That author says the "collectivist philosophy" Ryan ascribes to Social Security and Medicare is a "looters' credo." By that reckoning, anyone who receives assistance from the government -- including disabled combat veterans or impoverished children -- is a "looter."
"Seniors are looters." Wonder how that would have gone over at the AARP? "Disabled veterans are looters." How would that play at the local VFW?
This recording confirms that the GOP's Vice Presidential candidate is the most politically extreme major-party candidate in living memory. His views have already drawn the opposition of Catholic theologians, as well as advocates for lower-income people, the middle class, seniors, the disabled and children.
If those views were better known, they'd also alienate independents, Democrats and seniors, as well as most Republicans and Tea Party members.
And by "alienate," we mean terrify.
Ryan said this at the "Celebration":
How extreme, how far from the mainstream, was Rand's thinking? She was profoundly hostile to the idea that human beings should help one another, writing that "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject." Rand also wrote that "Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life."
Oh, and the hero of Rand's novel The Fountainhead commits an act of terrorism. He's an architect who blows up a building because he's angry that his design was changed.
I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand ... and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are.
Ryan also said "the reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand."
Remember Rand's words: "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject." That's the philosophy that Ryan says framed his "value systems" and beliefs...

Paul Ryan And Ayn Rand's Ideas: In The Hot Seat Again by Atlas Society, April 30, 2012
----------------------------
As for Paul Ryan's attitude of not helping certain groups of people some of this we already saw in the policies of George W. Bush for instance insisting everybody support the troops and yet cutting the salary and benefits of average soldiers , refusing to give out promised bonuses to soldiers who did not finish their Tour Of Duty because they were wounded or became physically and mentally unable to carry out their duties or actually died in combat. Afterall according to the Neocons Bush, Cheney, Ryan ,Romney a contract is a contract no matter how deceptive it might be. Anyone signing up for military service probably needs a lawyer to go over these contracts as closely as possible and not merely peruse them and they can not trust the word of a General or a government Lawyer who are in on the scam . These guys are as wiley as door to door vaccum salesmen or other con men.
We have seen under the Bush Regime and the Obama regime wide spread abuses of POWS including intimidation, humiliation and various forms of abuse and torture .
We have seen in both Regimes a wanton disregard for the lives of innocent civilians
Bush and Obama have both committed various war crimes and crimes against humanity from targeted assassinations and renditions, kidnappings carried out in side sovereign nations.
When Americans blows the crap out of a city or town in Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan or Libya or by their surrogates in Syria and other nations we are told these war crimes are justified one because the acts are by the USA and the USA holds its exceptional position in the world due to either the natural laws of social darwinism or because of God's blessing and those America are fighting are not mere humans but are evil and possibly minions of Satan. Now how does on counteract such an argument.
