The Obama brand has always been about inspiration, a new kind of politics...Pulling it off the shelf and replacing it with a political product geared to pleasing America's vacillating swing voters ...would be a fatal blunder.

Lots of useful factoids in this July 1st roundup.
Hi, I saw you in a documentary recently. It was really good, informative. I appreciate your intellect very much.
I have come across an article that can help people see China more accurately. I think everyone should read it because it exposes certain facets of the communist party’s ways of censoring reality and justice. If we do not hear about this from dissidents willing to risk everything, then the CCP would effectively have repressed all knowledge of it’s crimes and would get away with it’s absolute abuse of power over China and people of the world.
The article is titled: The Last Hero of Tiananmen

I have come across a youtube video that can help people see the media 's propaganda on China more accurately. I think everyone should see it because it exposes certain facets of the western media’s ways of censoring reality and justice. If we do not hear about this from eyewitnesses willing to risk everything, then the western media would effectively have repressed all knowledge of reality and would get away with it’s absolute abuse of information over China and people of the world.
The youtube video is titled: The myth of Tiananmen massacre

Actually there is another Tiananmen hero who died for hanging on to his ideals in Communism: General Peng Dehuai, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peng_Dehuai
but you never hear about him in the Western media because he defeated the Americans in North Korea and he died for Communism.
