Response to "Is God a dictator?"

http://partisan-news.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-god-dictator.html

Ok I'm going to make this quick. I agree with most of what this clearly marxist slanted articale says about God. However there are one or two points that the articale fails to mention that should be addressed.

1 - Christians/Conservatives [could] argue that God has the right to act in the way he did/does because he is not human thus his actions are ABOVE human laws. However don't fear my fellow atheists/agnostics there's a counter-argument for this that the Partisan should have me noted (it also didn't note the possible right wing argument that God shouldn't have to obey human laws).
Anyway my argument to this argument is that God created man in his image..To be 'perfect' (God's meant to be perfect according to the bible isn't he?)
So if Man shouldn't kill or commit sexual amoralism and other acts (10 commandments) God should not do this either because God is thus breaking his own laws - thus been a toatl hypocrite.

2 - No reference is made in the articale to the slaughtering of the first Egyptian child in every family in Egypt...(by God). This is one of the most amoral things the God of the OT (Old testament) does. Pharoh threatend to kill the Hebrew's children BUT he did not...Insted God DID kill Pharoh's children and other's...God kills children. Yet in the new testament Jesus tells a group of children that God "loves" children. This is not noted in the article as a complete hypocrasy and white wash of the past.

3 - God also had a thing against homosexuals and lesbians he burnt down an entire village because of their "imoral sexual acts." That would in today's world equate to mass murder I believe.

4 - flooding the world is fun these days....Just ask God he did it and only spared one human (Noah) because Noah believed in him..So basicly if you don't believe in God you deserve to be burnt in a flood. This I thought would have been a perfect reference in the articale but is not mentioned.

The articale still touches upon some intresting points such as the complete sadism of hell (why would anyone deserve to burn in a lake of fire forever). I think saying HItler is better then God is...Maybe a bit overdone..Hitler was by far the worst dictator of the 20th centuary/worst leader of the 20th centuary. The funny thing is I'm probably going to hell for writing this articale but I don't really give a shit. God is a tyrant.

Also the articale does not point out that "other" God's are guilty of tyrany as well. What makes Allah and the Jewish God any better then the Christian God?
(Or worse). Their all fundmeantally the same concept.
God is just an excuse to get people ton conform (and we are already brainwashed into that).

Maybe an articale on organized religion would be profitable as it is a twisted thing.

Thailand: protesters stage protest with their own blood.

in 2006 a millitary coup took place in Thiland and a new prime minister was 'chosen'. Today people used some of their own blood which they left on the steps of the prime minister's office to demand a new election as they say the other one was controlled heavily by the army...The Prime minister has ignored them thus far.

US congressman Patrick Kennedy blasts US policy in Afghanistan and the press.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucv94MMMXbI

US congressman Patrick Kennedy from road island gave a 2 minute rant today in the US contgress about America's failed forigen policy in Afghanistan and how the press were brainwashing the American people into supporting the war.
By not covering it and talking about minior stories instead..Keeping the people ignorant about what was really happening.

He said the forgien policy of the US had failed to honour dead soliders and that the US was puting it's troops in danger. He demanded a withdrawl from the coountry straight away. He spoke for over 2 minutes and his passionate speech sparked 3 hours of debate before the US impreailist congress voted not to end the war in Afghanistan.

Well what can I say?
At least some congressmen seem to be trying.

Michael Collins (October 16th 1890 - 22nd August 1922)

Michael Collins has gone down in history as one of Ireland's greatest hero's.
And yet apart from a 1996 semi-accurate biographical film this man is not really known outside of Ireland..Despite the fact that him and a few others almost singel handidly brought The British empire to it's knees inside of Ireland.

Collins was born in 1890 in the Irish county of Cork.
From a young age he took an intrest in physical athletics mainly the Irish sports of hurling and galic football.

For a career he travelled to London and worked for some time in a British post office. He returned to Ireland in 1916 to take part in a revlution that was been prepared by the Irish vouleenters (a nationalist group) and the Irish Republican brotherhood (IRB) another Irish nationalist group...And the socialist army 'the Irish citizen army'. Collins did not play a major role in this rising but non-the less took up a postion in the Irish general post office (GPO) and fought from there.

After the rising (which lasted a week) the main leaders (e.g. Patrick Pearse and James Connonlly were shot), Collins and others were arrested without trail and sent to prision camps (e.g. in Wales).

Around that time British Prime Minister David Lloyd George wanted to get America's help in WWI but America was less then impressed with how Lloyd George was handaling things in Ireland (see the partition dispitue and "Home rule"). In an attempt to win the American's on side, Lloyd George relaseed all Irish nationalists from the prision camps...

Collins returned home and straight away began to reform the IRB which had collapsed after the failed 1916 revoultion...Soon he was elected as president of the organaization. At the same time Arthur Grifith a more moderate Irish nationalist (who sadly seems to be shunted in remeberence today) was re-bulding his political party Sinn Féin. Irish radical republican Éamon De Valera was elected as presdient of the party with Grifith as vice-president.
Collins and other IRB memembers had postions on the executive council of Sinn Féin.

In the 1918 general election Collins was elected to reperseant South Cork as a MP.
However insted of traviling to Westminsiter which Irish MP's had been required to do up till then (because Ireland was a pupet state of England), Collins along with all the other Sinn Féin MP's took their places in Dail na hÉiren (Irish parlimeant).

Collins was appointed minister for finance in the new dail and also he was still the president of the IRB. Plus he set up a secret asssination squad called the 'squad'.
This 'squad' assisnated British dectecives inside Dublin Castle because the British had files on the memembers of the dail.
Next Collins organized 'flying colliums' who acted as guireailla figthers who carried out attacks through the vast rural countryside on British policce officers and soliders.

In 1921 Lloyd George responded by sending the infamous "black and tans" and "auxularies" to Ireland these groups of ex-British soliders (from WWI)
were often drunk and often commited atrocites against Irish landowners and civilizans.
Collins in response told his 'squad' to murder 11 English decetives inside their houses this was done but a few hours later the 'black and tans' entered the Irish football stadium and started opening fire on random bystanders.

I don't want to give the impresion that Collins was the only hero during all of this..But he played a major part in the "Anglo-Irish war".
But also Arthur Grifth, Éamon De Valera (granted he spent an entire year in America during the war) and others played major roles.
In the summer of 1921 the British called a truce, after having exhausted their firepower in Ireland and still having failed to capture Collins or any other dail hÉiren memembers.

De Valera in a move that suprised everyone (because he was president of the country - well ilgeagl president). Sent Arthur Grifith and Michael Collins to head the peace talks in London insted of going himself. Lloyd George, Chruchill and the other's refused to allow Ireland a 32 county Republic (which Grifith, Collins, De Valera and others were pressing for sense 1916). Insted they gave Ireland a 'free state' (for 26 of the 32 county's).

Ireland could now form it's own parlimeant, decide it's own education system, taxes, army, healthcare, lanauge...But they still had to swear loyality to the Crown.
While England got to keep 6 of the 32 county's.

Note: it would not be till 1948 that Ireland was declared a Republic and loyality to the Crown would be abolished.

This treaty brought uproar to Ireland and a vote was called to see if the Dail would recgonize the new Irish free state.
The state was recgonized by a small majority and 'pro-treaty' and 'anti-treaty' sides were born out of the vote. Collins, Grifith and others were on the 'pro' side and De Valera (who objected to Collins and Grifith sighning the treaty, which begs the question why he told them to go to London in the first place) was on the 'anti' side. A civil-war broke out, Grifith was once again re-elected as President but this time of the free state (tecniquelly prime minister).
Collins became commander and cheif of the army and was responsabile for a counter-attack on the Irish four courts (when anti-treaty soliders took over the court house, Collins shelled it).

In 1922 Grifith died suddenly (R.I.P.) and Collins took over as prime minister (president) of the free-state.
This worried several ministers of Collin's cabinet who realized he was commander and cheief of the army and prime minister of an extremely unstable state.
Infact if Collins had wanted to he could have esally set up a dictatorship.

In August of 1922, Collins went to Cork to negoticate terms of peace (it's suspected) on his way his convoy met a roadblock, his men went to remove it but an anti-treaty ambush took place as soliders shot at each other from each sides of the road. Only one man was killed and that man was Collins who was shot in the head as he took cover from behind his armoured car..
He was given a state funeral and in 1936 De Valera praised him.

Today he is still a contoversial but VERY influencional.
He had his flaws but he also helped to tackle an impreailaist empire.

On the Iraq elections.

Iraq is preparing for 'democratic' elections.
Which America *hopes will see new civilized democray come to the barbaric backwards country full of barbaric backwards islamic-somethings.

America says if the elections are 'democratic' (the candiate that sucks up to America the most is elected) they will pull out of Iraq in August.

What's the point in the Iraqi people voting?
America will only accsept a result that sees someone they want in office.
Their hardly going to let someone who wants to protect Iraqi intrests and create a national-economy or stand up to American bussines into power.
Their going to put their money on so-called 'moderates' and if those modearates fail to get in then they simply don't have to recgonize the election.

So basicly it's democratic if it goes the way America wants it to.
We've already seen Obama's love for democray with his attitude towards the Hondoura's coup which overthrew the (democraticly-elected) leftwing president relpacing him with a milltary goverment.
Then that goverment healed an election (which it controlled) and a conservative was 'elected' thus democray! (In the eye's of the US).

Why would it be any different with these elections?
I guarantee you it won't.
America know's the score it want's the Iraqi people to play their game or no game..

"the oppressive classes litreature" - another reason to dislike Chairman Mao.

during the cultural revoultion (started in 1966) beloeved chairman Mao Tse-tung proclaimed that there bust ben an end to the litreature of the 'oppressive classes' and that socialist-litreature must rule supreme and that the workers *must conforim to this view....(So he forced his style of litreature down their necks and they couldn'r read ANY other type of books).

Mao....That's stupid! Not to mention something that a dictator would do but it's also stupid...I'm not defending capitalism here
but what if the workers wanted to read other books that didn't have a socialist message? I thought socialism was 'for' the workers but no I guess socialist leaders do what they want when they want to. Under a mask of actually giving a shit (when they don't).

Not all books have to have 'capitalist' or 'socialist' messages.
Also Mao got rid of fictional litreature books from the west...Yes Mao the west is fucked up politicaly but you can't just ban westren litreatue..
Again what if the workers WANTED to read it..But no the 'proletariot' read what their told to read...

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: US behind the IAEA's claim of Iran's nuclear bomb

Iranian supreme leadear (dictator) Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Sunday over Iranian state radio/televsion that the US and it's westren allies were bhind the cliams by the IAEA (see post below for meaning) that Iran was devloping a nuclear bomb.

Khamenei: said that there is no real proof that Iran is bulding a bomb and that it is made up byt the west to try and demonize Iran who have inisted that their enriching uraninum for peaceful puroposes..The IAEA has said it is fearful that Iran might have a bomb.

While Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a dictator and a religous nut-job (don't get me started on the relgion plus politics thing), I have to admit I think he's right here...I mean the last time America said a country (Iraq) was devloping missioles/bombs it wasn't and that cuased a war...

We are hearing the same rhetoric from the Obama adminstration just focused against different countries...They are ling again!
