Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies. Most importantly, a great leader must serve the best interests of the people first, not those of multinational corporations.

Human life should never be sacrificed for monetary profit. There are no exceptions. In addition, a leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty hands to be revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for scrutiny allows a good leader to be an even greater leader.

And lastly, pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers.

And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the Divided States of America. So why do politicians wear the flag lapel pin?

What did they do to deserve it? Get elected?? I call it political opportunism. About fifteen percent of our current congress ever served in the military. What do foreigners generally think of Americans? And they do this not knowing anything about other countries. They've basically swallowed their own prop a ganda. What those who own the country WANT you to believe. It's all about control. Many Americans believe that bigger is better, but other countries see that philosophy as a character flaw.

Are Americans blind to the excesses and foibles of their own people and those in control? Why, for example, do people point the finger at Colin Kaepernick who feels the weight of discrimination in his own country? Blind patriotism and nationalism are dangerous. We saw what it did in Nazi Germany.

We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. Global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. This should be a crime. Why isn't it? These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations.

ALEC describes itself as a non-partisan , non-profit organization. BUT, t he facts show that it currently has only four "token" Democrat s out of legislators in leadership positions.

Many legislators use public funds to attend ALEC meetings. ALEC enjoys a c 3 classification, which allows it to keep its tax-exempt status while accepting grants from foundations, corporations and other "donors". Koch Industries being represented on the governing board means that Koch has had influence over an untold number of ALEC bills.

That's the reason ALEC exists. As of August , at least corporations and 19 non-profits for a total of private sector members have announced publicly that they have cut ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council. This came about largely through their exposure. However, four of them have returned probably silently. ALEC keeps its membership, activities and communications confidential. M embers identity primarily became known through internal documents revealed to Common Cause and by research by the press.

BUT, they are discussing the public's business and business affecting the public along with elected members of the congress. How's that for brass? ALEC has become known for attacking clean energy, workers rights and voting rights.

Aren't we concerned that a large segment of congress would want to attack worker's rights, voting rights and CLEAN energy? Wake up America! Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The crazy thing is that corporations use the money received from their customers you to grant themselves unlimited power to use that same money for their own interests and against your interests. Enter the American lobbying industry. Do YOU have a lobbyist? Since the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in , upholding the rights of corporations to make political expenditures under the First Amendment, there have been several calls for a U.

Constitutional amendment to abolish corporate personhood. While the Citizens United majority opinion makes no reference to corporate personhood or the Fourteenth Amendment, Justice Stevens' dissent claims that the majority opinion relies on an incorrect treatment of corporations' First Amendment rights as identical to those of individuals. He never let one of those moments pass without acknowledging it in some way.

The minute he began doing his comedy on TV in the early s, he began a list of these performances—the date it aired, what routine he did, and who else was on the show. When he and his comedy partner Jack Burns arrived in Los Angeles, he made sure they got off the freeway at the Vine exit in Hollywood because that was the one that meant something to the world.

When he realized a childhood dream and got to perform at Carnegie Hall for the first time in , he saved a ticket from the show. He saved many objects from his career. Dad would have gotten a huge thrill out of it. This video is completely devastating for Trump. George Carlin gives him the finger from the grave. AmericaWakeUp pic.
