		<description><![CDATA[Blinding the workers of this country to the crimes of their lords is commonly (perhaps even more commonly in the current age) done with warfare. Warfare allows our lords to excite patriotism in a variety of ways which both eliminate scores of workers from this living coil, as well as blinding many of them to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ugh, the news of Osama bin Laden&#8217;s death has brought forth a cavalcade of jingoism I have not seen since&#8230; possibly the news of Saddam Hussein&#8217;s capture. We are a culture of grave dancers, are we not? Nothing like a little death to those who would challenge us to really get us in good spirits. [...]]]></description>

The consequences of this tragedy cannot be fully understood just yet and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll all see and hear horror stories resulting from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rather than see the revolution stagnate into a protracted civil war, the United States and its proxies in the United Nations have decided to usurp the struggles of the Libyan people to ensure a result favorable for the capitalist world order. After watching their puppet dictators failing time and again around the Middle-East, Uncle Sam [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This just dedicated to all the people that will still argue with me on the merits of the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan. People who rage against Iraq but still, for some unexplainable reason, see our presence in Afghanistan as some sort of moral imperative &#8211; as some sort of cleansing of the world&#8217;s evil. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We were told in February of 2009 what President Obama had in mind for our imperial ambitions in Iraq. The history of the state of Iraq is a sad story of Western imperialism. From the British border designations ensuring dependence on foreign powers, U.S. and British backed coups against emancipatory governments, installation of Western-friendly dictators [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s one narrated by Jeremy Rifkin that talks about the myths of human nature and the need to achieve an empathic civilization. It raises important issues about human consciousness and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When one takes the time to read liberal blogs a pattern quickly becomes apparent. When one is so entangled in the system of our government it obscures what one is actually cheering for or raging against. The line, ideologically speaking, becomes so blurred that thankfully one is able to determine which people deserve cheering or [...]]]></description>

Anyone still defending Obama has to either be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent unfortunate events of Israel&#8217;s storming of a flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip with aid supplies, one hopes (futilely) that the U.S. rethinks its relationship with the apartheid state of Israel. Though even as I am writing this draft, sources are coming out everywhere denying any possibility of this, with even our [...]]]></description>
