"In
a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
George Orwell
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
treasonable to the American public."
Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
Source of quote.
"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all
it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether
it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a
communist dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger."
Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World
War II
"The illusion of
freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At
the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just
take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the
tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back
of the theatre."
-Frank
Zappa, circa 1977
"Debate on public
issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide open, and that ... may well
include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on
government and public officials."
Justice William J.
Brennan, Jr., New York Times v. Sullivan, 1964

Another Perspective
The Ramblings Of A Truly Frustrated and Angry American
![[Another Perspective's Logo]](index_files/image007.jpg)
Another
Perspective exists to offer news and commentary that the American people
cannot obtain through the corporately owned and conservatively slanted media
outlets.
Another
Perspective exists to demand that the American government be seized from
the contemptible grasp and domination of the executives of Corporate America
and the wealthy and have it returned to its legal and rightful owners; the
people of this nation.
Another
Perspective warns that the fear of a "One-World Government" is a
distraction from the reality that we are very near to a world owned and
operated by global corporations.
Another
Perspective reminds the people that we are but parasitic passengers on a
small speck of dust orbiting an average and minor star among billions of others
in a distant arm of a typical spiral galaxy traveling in a universe of
unimaginable size and of a countless age. We are all in this together, like it
or not, and there is no one available who can save us from ourselves but
ourselves.
Finally, Another Perspective exists to expose the fact that the three
greatest evils that have caused humanity the preponderance of its pain and
suffering are patriotism, greed and religious fanaticism.

Oh, CWAP
I’ve
often written about the teachings of Jesus and all the other inclusive and
loving teachers that mankind has been gifted with such as Buddha and the early
Mohammad and Gandhi and our own Martin Luther King Jr.
With this nation infected with the very worst kind of moral
and spiritual cowards and war criminals, I despaired of ever finding a place to
intelligently and openly talk about what I’ve learned and what I still seek in
my quest to find some definition of a spiritual meaning in an otherwise
spiritually meaningless world.
Liberals Like Christ
is that rare place. It’s irrelevant about your religion, your spiritual
journey or your complete lack of either. It’s a safe place to discuss
where you find yourself and where you think you’re going. It’s like the
joy you find around your kitchen table when you’re surrounded by people who
actually think for themselves. How rare is that in this hyper-Republican,
diseased nation?
