Over a nice hot cappuccino, I tell my students, "Keep looking for truth. You shall find it." I tell my adult children. [i]"It's for your own protection from media lies and falsehoods. And from the media's filtering of the news...

Just One Word

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 2 Jun 20

If there are any Western civilization history buffs in this community they can call me out on this. Did you know that Julius Caesar quieted a riotous mob with just one word? He said: “Citizens.” Our fearless leader, on...

If It's Broke, We the People Should Fix It!

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 5 Oct 18

Every once in a while I like to repeat myself. If you've been following American news then you know that in a few more days we will or we will NOT have a new member judge added to our Supreme Court. This confirmation process has...

Where are the politically aware myLotters? Newbie looking for people to follow.

Con Volines @ConVolines (1449) 21 Apr 18

I just signed up to myLot, and am used to Twitter where I can search and easily find people sharing the kind of information I'm interested in. I have no idea how to search recent posts or popular tags here. Hit me up if you're a...

The American People Are Speaking Out Now...

chrystalia @chrystalia (1208) • Tucson, Arizona 11 Nov 12

For those who haven't checked out whitehouse.gov, there are 2 sections (only two) worth reading-- the Executive Orders, and the We The People. We The People is the section where any American citizen can approach the government for...

Are the American People Incompetent to Govern Themselves?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16676) • Boston, Massachusetts 28 Feb 10

Nancy Pelosi is urging Democrats to pass the health care reform bill, even if it means they will lose in the upcoming elections and be forced out of Congress. "We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress,"...

Consent of the Governed? 61% say the Federal Government doesn't have it.

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16676) • Boston, Massachusetts 24 Feb 10

Feeling like you have no voice in the way this country is governed? Feeling like the country has moved far away from the concept of "the consent of the governed" as Thomas Jefferson so eloquently described in the Declaration of...

The Cure for Congress

morethanamolehill @morethanamolehill (1586) • United States 13 Dec 09

Yes America is sick. And the disease is called "Congress". I found this online. It is not my original writing, It is also not original to the blog I found it on. I guess the idea is to spread it around. I figured myLot is a good...

Obama and the US Constitution

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 14 Aug 09

Obama is to the US Constitution as Marilyn Manson is to the Holy Bible. Some would call that outrageous, but hear me out. Marilyn Manson may be a dark imaged shock rocker who would rather rip up a bible than thump one....

Newsweek Editor Says Obama is God

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16676) • Boston, Massachusetts 9 Jun 09

There's a reason that America is in so much trouble and it isn't all due to Obama. A lot of it is due to the full-blown case of Obama-infatuation that the press now suffers from. They are incapable of doing what a free press...

It's all their fault!!!! (US Gov.)

TLChimes @TLChimes (4822) • United States 5 Mar 09

It says some where that the government is for and by the people. That we the people are responsible for it. We vote at the city, state, and federal levels. We are responsible for what happens or doesn't, the good and the bad,...

Scenario: it is the year 2076. The United States is recovering from the Great Social Revolution of the 2060's, where everyday citizens finally united to overthrow the monied special interests which had a stranglehold on politics,...

We the People without Bharkha Dutt!

madhang @madhang (28) • India 30 Jun 07

Do you think anyone other than Bharkha Dutt can host his show? I do not think so. She is probably the best anchor in television today. The way she handles the panelists is amazing. What do you think!

Government Of the People, By the People and For the People...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 11 Jun 07

One of the biggest myths in America is that We the People are the government. Our government is Of the People, By the People and For the People, but the government itself is not The People. "Of the People" because our...
