Went to a Colorado Symphony show for the Fourth of July (2014) at Fiddler's Green Amphitheater. They were playing patriotic songs as well as some of John Williams' finest from Star Wars and Indiana Jones to E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. I didn't take a real camera, just my Android and these are a couple of shots I grabbed while sitting on the lawn. They were handing out little Stars and Stripes (of which I took a picture), the concert venue and a few of the fireworks display.

You know, because those freedoms are inconvenient to keeping a docile population.  Originally shared by Mathew Tyler Perhaps this is what a police state looks like ? ----- The NYPD Declares Martial Law in Brooklyn "On the heels of three nights of protests over the police slaying of 16 year old Kimani Gray, the NYPD has turned the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn into a State of Exception, claiming emergency powers to suspend the constitutional guarantees of the citizenry. The people regularly targeted by police harassment and violence, overwhelmingly the city’s poor and minority populations, have taken to the streets to speak out against the NYPD’s draconian tactics.

So, the GOP dream team of a rich white guy and a young conservative buck lost the presidential election in the United States on Tuesday. It was a close match by any estimations and the team of Romney/Ryan didn't lose this election alone -- they lost the election thanks to the Republican Party's platform and the choke-hold the libertarian Tea Party holds on the GOP. No matter the excuses the GOP leaders are spreading this Wednesday morning about Romney not being a capable candidate, even though they spent nearly a billion dollars trying to defeat President Obama, the fact of the matter is, a majority of Americans rejected the GOP's platform. Americans as a nation are not hateful people, but the Right would have us believe we hate minorities, Mexicans, gays and poor people; hate them so much that we'd run to the polls and vote for the perfect image of a non-minority gay poor person: a rich white guy. I read an article the other day, or perhaps it was a blog post, t...

Take one asshat who thinks children should be murdered if they're unruly , add one moron who thinks parents of  illegitimate children should be murdered and their children should be adopted out to "legitimate" families and you have yourself a nice foundation for theocracy in America that would rival the wackos over in Pakistan , Afghanistan and Iran (istan). People like these, people who believe in Biblical law over secular law are the exact reason the founders of this nation put the separation of church and state into the very first of the Bill of Rights. Deuteronomy 21:18-21 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and...
