Wow! Has it been that long since last posting at OEN - more than two years? Apparently so!
I've been busy elsewhere (e.g., Disqus: http://disqus.com/C4H4AsH/ ), but certainly not as prolific as I was previously at OEN.
Well, I think I'll start visiting anew and read the latest and greatest proffered by the progressive left. The next, four years (it's January 2013 as of this posting) should prove... interesting to say the least. Admittedly, I was amazed and shocked at President Obama's re-election given the abject failure of his economic policies over the past four years. Seemingly, a majority of Americans endorse the notion of a government-only subsidence. Who knew? Maybe Fidel knew, but Raul... Raul is finding such a notion odious.
But I digress. I look forward to re-engaging the Left on issues like: global warming, healthcare, "The War on Women", and the 9/11 Truth Movement - assuming it's still viable... is it???
I suspect an economic downturn on continued stagnation for America, which should please progressives immensely.

An increasing number of Democrats are seeing the "wisdom" of the Bush Administration's approach to the war on terror. In fact, they're parroting the position of then Vice President Cheney. Behold, now, the Cheney Democrat!

The hit comedy team of "Garofalo and Olbermann" are at it again with their crazy banter! Turning tea parties into the "teabag suckers" (yuck, yuck) and charming us with the suggested tea party sequel of "Franks and Beans". What creative wit!

In a carefully-scripted play such as the one we've witnessed to date with the Obama transition team, when a line flub happens, it's usually good!
(61 comments)Monday, November 24, 2008 Paranoid Conspiracy Theories (PCTs) SHARE
A recent diary entry by John Get a Clue had me thinking (yet again) on what compells an apparently sane individual to adopt the conclusions of a paranoid conspiracy theory as being... "the Truth". And while the reasons for believing such theories haven't really changed, the personal attacks against the challengers most certainly have, as witnessed by the comments here at OEN. The Truth, it seems, must be revealed no matter the cost... or its perception!

Tuesday, November 4th came and Senator Obama is now President-elect Obama. Ah, wait! There's something wrong here! Where was the massive voting machine manipulation, false flag operation, and violence of the Religious Right?!? How was Obama elected President given that America is occupied largely by sheeple???

While this is somewhat ironic for a web site that promotes progressive values, I have received a Cease & Desist Letter from another OEN member to stop commenting on his words posted here and elsewhere on the Internet (although I have only commented on his words here).

In an open letter to The Honorable Cynthia McKinney, a potential presidential voter requests additional information - NOW as opposed to later (e.g., after election day)!

What does a Truther's thought process and a Rubik's Cube have in common? Actually, a lot more than you might think! We'll see how a Truther thinks not just "outside the box" (bad pun, I know), but they actually rearrange the box!

Finally! We reach the climactic end of our series. However and like the last two, the Truther question asked here is a dud. An explanation exists for this question that's more reasonable and likely than one that calls for creating a conspiracy.

Groundhog Day continues! And if you think I'm kidding about Truthers plastering open-ended questions as if they're a teenager at the paintball range for the first time, just check out the questions blurted out in rapid fire in Part 1 - http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=6559 !

Did you ever feel like you've lived your own "Groundhog Day" movie? Have you felt as though you've played Bill Murray's character as he addressed the same set of questions and problems - day after day - until he either got it right or... finally believed?
(152 comments)Monday, March 10, 2008 Mr. Caleb asks, "What is [9/11] Truth?" SHARE
A new OEN member recently asked a number of 9/11-related questions - http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=6481 . The questions have been asked countless times before by Truthers, but just like countless Truthers before, the questions (not the answers) have become the "truth".

If you suspect your neighbor of placing leaves in your yard come fall, then is it logical to presume he's the cause of the leaves' falling come every Autumn? If you answer "yes", then these questions are for you.

Which do you prefer in revealing a (mostly) scientific truth - sound reasoning and objectivity or a blind faith in an unproven allegation?
