Warriors of Class

Liberals do not strip rights from anyone. They can’t. At the moment someone strips someone else of rights, they cease to be liberal. No liberal alive in the world today has stripped the rights from anyone else. If you can name one person who has stripped rights from another, i will explain how it is that they are not a liberal. Those stripping rights from others in the world today are as follows (Albeit not necessarily in this, or any particular order, mind you): 

• Those seeking to strip substantial proportions of the population of their ability to exercise their Constitutionally guaranteed and protected right to vote through baseless, foundation-less and unprecedented unprovoked preemptive draconian voter registration restrictions, which vast segments of the voting public are logistically, geographically, financially and/or sociologically unable to meet, based merely solely on nothing else except for which Political Party, or end of the political spectrum, that the majority of their particular demographic group is the most statistically probable to vote in favor of. 
• Those who seek to strip to collective bargaining right of unionized labor workers which over the past century has directly produced the essential staples of American working, or middle, class known as the “weekend”, the forty hour “work week” (and the “nine to five” eight hour “work day”), vacation days, worker health, cleanliness, safety and security inspections of facilities, workers’ or workmen’s compensation and a “retirement age”. ‘ As well as those who seek to repeal the child labor laws which guarantee every American Child the right to a public education. 
• Those who seek to undermine the right of every American child to a literate, proficient, competent public school education by attempting to impose and institute a dogmatic indoctrination of ancient prehistoric, needless to say baseless, legends, fantastically fanciful and fictitious fables, and mystical magical mythologies into the Life and Earth Sciences classrooms of the United States of America’s Public schools. 
• Those who advocate stripping a full 51% of the nation’s population of access to a legally protected, practically risk-free medical procedure in order to decide for themselves whether or not they want to sacrifice any and all ambitions they may ever have had for the rest of their lives to give up a substantial proportion of their lives to raise a child they don't want, and are not ready nor prepared to adequately or sufficiently parent with any capable proficiency. 
• Those seeking to systematically undermine and sabotage the sociological infrastructure “safety net” in place for the better two-thirds of the past century, consist of, respectively, the first and second most extraordinarily overwhelmingly popular government programs in the recorded history of democracy as we know it, by defunding and/or deconstructing/dismantling [called "privatization" or "personalization"] Medicare and social Security, which tens of millions, soon to be hundreds of millions, of working-class Americans have relied upon to lift them out of the most profound and resounding depths of the most abject, hopeless and desperate destitution and poverty conceivably imaginable and allow hundreds of millions of elderly senior citizens to retire comfortably after lifetime of work. 
• Those who oppose or seek to repeal either or both the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America of July 9, 1868 AND/OR the Civil Rights Act of July 2, 1964, out of fanatical zealotry of xenophobic and/or racist bigotry. 
• Those seeking to repeal the legislation, the first ever of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, that legally guarantees every citizen the right to receive medical care and attention at any hospital whenever they get sick or injured, and not be turned away because they happen to be poor, or have been sick before at some point in the even distant past. 
• Those advocating against the implementation into effect of a law desegregating the United States Military armed forces and putting a permanent end to ideologically and religiously motivated puritanical witch-hunts based on little more than rumor and heresay within the United States Department of Defense which single-handedly receives well over 51% several hundred billion dollars of all the taxpayer money appropriated and allocated each and every year for the whole entirety of the United States Federal Government. 
• Those who oppose legally guaranteed equal rights, freedoms, and liberties from a full segment of the population due to a personal prejudice against the behavior of a minority. 

If you could kindly explain to me how any of these people could possibly be considered to be in any way shape or form “liberal” by any reasonable or at all rational sense of the definition of the word; then i would be more than happy to oblige you. OR, if you would like to explain to me just how exactly it is that anyone considered to be “liberal” is stripping anyone else of their rights in such a way as these, i would be glad to hear it out. The reality is that those most in favor of class warfare are one the right, not the left. 

• Class warfare is abolishing the working class’s ability to negotiate for better working conditions and higher wages. [16] [20] [22] 
• Class warfare is staying silent about an unelected authoritarian regime that increases budget deficits by trillions of dollars while causing a collapse of the western developed world’s economic system by deregulating multi-trillion dollar trans-multinational for-profit corporate conglomerates, just so long as said regime slashes taxes by billions of dollars on the wealthiest 1% of all Americans [6] [10] so that those same multi-billionaire industrialists, while profiting billions of dollars into their personal wealth, can then proceed to lay of thousands of American workers from their companies; [9] but decrying and an attempt by a democratically majority-elected administration to put millions of people back to work which would DECREASE budget deficits by billions of dollars, [21] while reducing taxes for the overwhelming majority of all Americans. [19] 
• Class warfare is pressing for the elimination of public health and safety regulations that save millions of lives on a nearly daily basis [4] and of the agencies to enforce them [3] because they cost too much of a reduction in the multi-billion-dollar profits of the most profitable industries and corporation the world has ever seen. 
• Class warfare is staying silent about super-massive increases in budget deficits when they are caused by super-massive tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% by an unelected authoritarian regime of your own political ideological party [15] but decrying an attempt by a democratically majority-elected administration to provide life-saving medical coverage to the overwhelmingly vast majority of all Americans [12] which, according to every non ideologically driven independent analysis, would actually result in a net DECREASE in deficits of billions of dollars for years to come [18] 
• Class warfare is repeatedly insisting that billions of dollars in tax slashing for multi-millionaires are “free” or “pay for themselves (in blatant contradiction of facts) [11] while insisting that benefits for unemployed must be “paid for” [14] by slashing sociological safety net benefits and raising taxes on the poorest of all citizens. 
• Class warfare is the elimination of Social Security [17] and Medicare [5] the sociological infrastructure of the western democratic industrialized developed “first” world. 
• Class warfare is forcing tax increases on 90% of all Americans in order to hold the American Representative Democratic Republic hostage [2] for billions of dollars in tax cuts for multi-billion-dollar industries and corporations and the wealthiest 1%. [8] 
• Class warfare is giving multi-billion-dollar tax slashing to multi-billionaires. [1] [7] 
• Class warfare is giving multi-trillion-dollar trans-multinational corporate conglomerates the voting power of American citizens in elections. [13] 

THAT is class warfare. And if you think that anyone that is anything even remotely like you or me could ever possibly win such a war in any way shape or form whatsoever, then you are sadly deluded and are fooling yourself. We ALL Lose. We can only ever lose.

Weaker The House Of Cards

When John Boehner was the Minority Leader in the House, from the moment President Obama was inaugurated, his refrain has been "Where are the jobs?"
Now that he is the Speaker of the House, the most powerful so-called "Republican" in the United States, and, (perhaps most unsettling of all) the third in line (second-runner-up) in the Presidential Line of Succession, right behind Vice President Biden, His response to the fact that his party's draconian and malicious drastic slashing of the Sociological Infrastructure of a nation he purportedly claims to care about WILL cost many tens of thousands of those REAL people, with those REAL jobs, their livelihoods, is, and I quote: "So Be It." [5]

John Boehner, October 2010: "Mister President, Where Are The Jobs?" [6]
John Boehner, February 2011: "If some of those jobs are lost, So Be It." [7]

The Republican campaign slogan, including the one used by Congressman John Boehner of Ohio's campaign to unseat the only person left in the country who knows how to be a good and effective Speaker of the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi of the Great State of California, was, rather unimaginatively I would have to say, and I quote: "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and Jobs." [8] That was the line of the quote-end-quote "Tea Party" So-called "Republican" GOP barely more than three months ago. [7] Now the most powerful so-called "Republican" the country has had for over more than a Decade, (since the Faux "News" Channel Network's Newt Gingrich in the House in the 1990's) responds to job the inevitability of truly massive job losses resulting from his agenda with the words: "So Be It." [2] My point is that Government jobs are still jobs; REAL jobs [9] and people with government jobs are still people, REAL people. [6]

Boehner was also exhibiting some rather blatant hypocrisy. [4]

The So-Called "Republican" Quote-En-Quote "Tea Party" GOP Campaigned successfully for a Majority in Congress on a platform of "shrinking the size of Government" [4] and "Reducing Government Spending". [2] The so-called "Republican" Party's Majority presently ruling the House of Representatives campaigned for the offices that they ultimately won by promising and "pledging" that their first and foremost priority would be job creation [11], second being diminishing the Federal Government's annual yearly budget deficit. [2]

Yet, even so, in spite of this, the first thing that the newly-installed so-called "Republican" Majority in the House of Representatives did was to introduce not one, not two, but THREE bills of legislation aimed at eliminating the legal civil rights of every single last woman in the United State of America to choose and decide for herself whether or not she want to have children, and whether or not to have children that she does not want. Thus far, the bills that have been introduced by the so-called "Republicans" include not one, not two, but THREE separate pieces of legislation aimed at defunding the federal government's funding for legal medical pregnancy terminations, something that is already not allowed and strictly prohibited under previously-existing federal law: (SEE: The "Hyde Amendment" of 1976; as well as the REPUBLICAN Stupak-Pitts Amendment to the Affordable Health Care for America Act of March 24, 2010; one of those "hand-out" "give-away" concessions made by President Obama in order to get the Health Care Insurance Reform Legislation through Congress that the so-called "Tea Party" loves so very much to complain about on their Public Relations subsidiary, the Faux "News" channel network).

In other words, the aimed goal and ambition of the so-called "Republican's FIRST THREE bills of Legislation was for the United States Congress to pass laws mandating that every woman who becomes pregnant MUST have a baby or to put it another way, to mandate that United States Federal Government personally closely monitor every single pregnancy that ever occurs in the United States of America, to ensure that every single last pregnancy concludes with a live birth. These bills, and actions like them, (such as last weeks vote to defund the HIV/AIDS prevention services provided by the nonprofit [not-for-profit] community organization Planned Parenthood) comprise the vast majority of the Legislative activities undertaken by the so-called "Republican Party's newly-instituted majority in the United States House of Representatives. They are, in most cases (like with federal abortion funding) wholly and entirely redundant and unnecessary and in all cases they are nothing more than purely symbolic gestures to the Radicalized Right-Wing Socially-NeoConservative Fringe that is the base of the so-called "Tea Party" and are therefore very nearly entirely meaningless wastes of the paper that they are printed on. They serve no practical legislative purpose, as, even if by some divine miracle any of them actually managed to pass the House of Representatives (last week alone, three bills of legislation were struck down and defeated in the space of 24 hours) they would fail to get the required majority needed to pass the Senate (as even the so-called "Tea Party" fiscal conservatives have now recognized the "Republican Party's agenda for what it is, and have started to begin and side with Congressional Democrats in opposition in order to defeat Boehners majority) and even if the Senate Democratic Majority abruptly became completely unhinged, disconcerted and incompetent, President Obama is intelligent enough to recognize these symbols as being just that, and nothing more, and smart enough not to permit them to get past the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Does anybody or anyone actually have any idea what such a massive government initiative would COST? [3] Having Government Agents at every single hospital delivery room, and maternity ward in the United States, enough to personally and closely monitor every single pregnancy that occurs? (Literally tens of thousands of women become impregnated every single day, of every single week, of every single month, of every single year; and in every single municipality, of every single county, of every single state in this country). This would explode a gaping chasm in our nation monetary supply so massive that it would take several generation just for the Federal Reserve to print enough dollar bills to make up for it, for us to even break even. [1]

So, You tell me. How are these first three bills of legislation proposed by the so-called "Republicans in the United States House of Representatives, (none of which do even a single thing that is even in the remotest direction of creating any sort of kind of job for anyone anywhere at any time in the even remotely foreseeable future) [11] could any of them possibly be considered, under any rational or reasonable definition of the terms, to be at all, in any way, "Fiscally Conservative"? [10]

OH yeah, and did I mention that not one thing that the so-called "Republicans" in Congress have done in the past two months they have had the Majority in the House has, or rather would have, created or saved one single American job? [11]

My point, in so many words, is that we desperately, now more than ever before, need someone running the table in the United States Congress who: 1. Has a clue how on god's green earth to actually "Govern" (at this point, I for one would be ready and willing to settle for somebody who even cares about governing at all). 2. Gives a good god damn about solving the problems our nation faces (once again, I would accept someone who cared enough to acknowledge what those problems even are in the first place). Needless to say, John Boehner meets neither of those qualifications. [1] We need someone who knows what it that they are doing and someone who knows how to get things done. (Right now, with the so-called "Republican" Party Majority ruling the House, if you were paying attention to the national news from Washington, you would know that NOTHING is getting done). [3] We need a Majority leader, (and a majority) who cares enough about getting things done and solving problems that they DO things that actually really SOLVE problems.

These are the facts, and they are indisputable.

The man who first classified Chimpanzees and Bonobos (Genus Pan), Gorillas (Genus Gorilla), Orangutans (Genus Pongo) and Humans (Genus Homo) [along with Gibbons (Genera Hylobates, Hoolock, Symphalangus and Nomascus), Macaques (Genus Macaca), Mangabeys (Genus Lophocebus ), Baboons (Genus Papio), Mandrills (Genus Mandrillus), Colobuses (Genera Colobus, Piliocolobus, and Procolobus), Langurs (Genera Semnopithecus, Trachypithecus, and Presbytis), Snub-Nosed Monkeys (Genus Rhinopithecus), Proboscis Monkeys (Genus Nasalis), Marmosets (Genera Cebuella, Callibella, Mico, Callithrix, and Callimico), Tamarins (Genera Saguinus and Leontopithecus), Capuchins (Genus Cebus), Squirrel Monkeys (Genus Saimiri), Titis (Genus Callicebus), Uakaris (Genus Cacajao), Sakis (Genera Chiropotes and Pithecia), Howler Monkeys (Genus Alouatta), Spider Monkeys (Genera Ateles and Brachyteles), Wooly Monkeys (Genera Lagothrix and Oreonax), Tarsiers (Genera Tarsius, Carlito, and Cephalopachus), Lemurs (Genera Cheirogaleus, Microcebus, Mirza, Allocebus, Phaner, Avahi, Lemur, Eulemur, Varecia, Hapalemur, Prolemur, Pachylemur, and Lepilemur), Loris (Genera Loris and Nycticebus), and Bushbabies (Genera Euoticus and Galago)] into the Order "Primates" was Carl Nilsson Linnæus, a Creationist, in 1758; more than a century BEFORE Charles Darwin first published his Theory of Descent with Modification Through Natural Selection.

Human beings (Species Homo Sapiens, Genus Homo, Tribe Hominini, Family Hominidae, Order Primates, Class Mammalia, Phylum Chordata, Kingdom Animalia) belong to the Domain "Eukaryota". Chimpanzees are Species "Pan troglodytes". Bonobos are Species "Pan paniscus". Mountain Gorillas are Species "Gorilla beringei". Eastern Lowland Gorillas are Species "Gorilla graueri". Western Lowland Gorillas are Species "Gorilla gorilla". Cross River Gorillas are Species "Gorilla diehli". Bornean Orangutans are Species "Pongo pygmaeus". Sumatran Orangutans are Species "Pongo abelii".

Humans and Orangutans share their most recent common ancestor 8-13 Million years ago. [24] [36] [43] Humans and Gorillas share their most recent common ancestor 7-10 Million years ago. [46] Humans and Chimpanzees share their most recent common ancestor 5-7 Million years ago. The human lineage split from Orangutans 13 Million years ago. The human lineage split from Gorillas 10 Million years ago. Humans split from chimpanzees 7 Million years ago.
The ancestors of Orangutans evolved into orangutans. The ancestors of Gorillas evolved into Gorillas. The ancestors of Chimpanzees evolved into chimpanzees. The ancestors of humans evolved into humans.

Humans and the other apes are incapable of interbreeding because humans have a different number of chromosomes than the other great apes. Orangutans, Gorillas, and Chimpanzees all have 24 pairs of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs. [5] This is due to the fact that two chromosomes of the other great apes fused to form one human chromosome, our chromosome number two. [6] [41]

It is a fact that humans are evolving faster now than at any time before in our species history: [11] [48] [62] [92] and that there is evidence that that already rapid rate of change has actually accelerated.

There exist 27 Genera of Swallowtail Butterfly alone. There are 600 Genera of "brush-footed" or four-footed" butterflies. There are 11 Genera of "Harvester" or "Wooly Leg" Butterflies. And that only two families. [83]

Speciation has been observed in Fish:

Fish include the Superclass "Agnatha", the Class: “Sarcopterygii” (“Lobe-Finned Fish”) [2] [8] [16] [17] [31] [38] [77] [78] [98] and the Infraphylum: “Gnathostomata” [29] [76] [87] which in turn includes the Superclass: “Osteichthyes” (“Bony Fish”) [10] [74] [78] [85] Gnathostomata also includes the Class "Chondrichthyes", and the extinct Class "Placodermi". Osteichthyes, in turn, includes the class "Actinopterygii".

All are fish.

Superphylum: “Deuterostomia” [3] [15] [21] [27] [51] [65] [97] Phylum: “Chordata” [3] [13] [47] [79] [80] [85] [89] [91] [95] [99] Clade: “Craniata” [4] [26] [50] [103] Subphylum: “Vertebrata” [1] [4] [7] [8] [13] [15] [17] [22] [28] [29] [31] [33] [39] [66] [67] [72] [81] [84] [86] [87] [89] [94] Infraphylum: "Gnathostomata", Clade: “Teleostomi” [12] [88] Clade: “Euteleostomi” [28] [86] Superclass "Osteichthyes", Class "Sarcopterygii", Clade: “Tetrapodomorpha” [16] [17] Clade: “Eotetrapodiformes” Order: “Elpistostegalia”, Clade: “Stegocephalia”, Superclass: “Tetrapoda” [7] [8] [9] [17] [32] [75] [82] [101] Class: “Amphibia” [25] [96]

The Order "Caudata" includes three suborders. The Suborder "Salamandroidea" contains seven Families. The Family "Plethodontidae" contains 4 Subfamilies. The Subfamily "Bolitoglossinae" contains 12 Genera. The Family "Salamandridae" contains 2 Subfamilies. The Subfamily "Pleurodelinae" contains 16 Genera. The Suborder "Cryptobranchoidea" contains two extant Families. The Suborder "Sirenoidea" contains only the Family "Sirenidae". Altogether, theses ten extant Families contain no fewer than at least 550 different separate know extant species of Salamanders. There are 10 Genera of Asiatic Salamander alone. There are 27 Genera of Lungless Salamander. There are 20 Genera of True salamanders. There are 3 Genera of siren salamanders. There are 2 genera of Giant Salamanders. And that doesn't include newts or mud-puppies. [25] [102]

Speciation has also been observed in lizards:

The Suborder "Lacertilia" contains 5 Infraorders. The Infraorder "Iguania" contains 14 Families, 3 of them extant. The Infraorder "Scincomorpha" contains 11 families, 7 extant. The Infraorder "Anguimorpha" contains the Clade "Platynota", which in turn contains the Superfamily "Varanoidea", which contains 8 families, 4 extant. The infraorder "Gekkota" contains 7 Families, 3 extant.The Infraorder "Diploglossa" contains only 3 Families. [30] [45] [64]

Birds:

Birds are classified as follows:
Class: Reptilia: [23] [30] [54] Clade: Sauropsida: [42] Clade: Eureptilia, Subclass: Diapsida, Clade: Neodiapsida, Clade: Sauria, Clade: Archosauromorpha: [49] [73] [93] Clade: Archosauriformes, Clade: Archosauria: [18] [54] [55] Clade: Avemetatarsalia: [71] Clade: Dinosauromorpha: [35] Clade: Dinosauriformes: [34] Clade: Dinosauria: [14] [19] [20] [35] [40] [52] [55] [56] [58] Order: Saurischia: [53] [56] Clade Eusaurischia, Clade: Theropoda, Clade: Neotheropoda, Clade: Averostra, Clade: Avetheropoda, Clade: Coelurosauria: [58] Clade: Maniraptoriformes: [14] Clade: Maniraptora: [57] [59] Clade: Paraves: [59] [68] Clade: Avialae: [63] Class: Aves

Chickens, a Subspecies of the Red Junglefowl [Subsepecie Gallus gallus domesticus, Species Gallus gallus, Genus Gallus], are Subfamily Phasianinae, Family Phasianidae, Superfamily Phasianoidea, Order Galliformes of the Superorder "Galloanserae".

Finches (Family Fringillidae, Superfamily Passeroidea, Infraorder Passerida, Suborder Passeri, Order Passeriformes) are of the Superorder "Psittacopasserae". The Family "Fringillidae" contains 4 Subfamilies. The Subfamily "Carduelinae" contains 22 Genera. The Genus "Carduelis" contains 6 Subgenera. The Subfamily "Drepanidinae" contains 3 Tribes. The Tribe "Psittirostrini" contains 9 Genera, while the Tribes "Drepanidini" and "Hemignathini" each contain 6. The Genus "Hemignathus" contains 3 Subgenera. THAT's "finches".

Both are Neognathae, Subclass Neornithes.
