Sebelius is completely “non-partisan” (not a good thing , when people voted for partisan reform) and was an insurance commissioner. HOw would she ever take on the insutranc industry? That is how people like her and Daschle are picked. To not rattle campaign donations.

As far as Gov. Gilligan goes, the apple has fallen pretty far from the tree…

NOW WHO WOULD EVER THINK THAT A GROUP EXIST TODAY LIKE THE BILDERBERGS?  1-2

A faction in acts of insurrection today exist in America that is funded by David Koch he is the prime mover in dominion theologian. In essence what they want is much like the Article below. They want two sets of folks the powerful and rich and then all the others.  The dominion theologians want to take the others us followers and re-in-statute the laws of MOSES that have been abridged by them.  Now I don’t see any thing other than greed in those that espouse such beliefs.

The Global Resurgence of Religion: Part 2c The Clash of Cultures at the End of History

To put this idea of the post-political in the terms of Alexandre Kojève’s (1969) interpretation of Hegel, post-politics and the triumph of the private sphere is a result of the end of history. At the end of history politics disappears because everyone is satisfied, and there is no more striving for change, and thus no more action that is the basis of politics. But obviously we are not yet at this state as not everyone is satisfied because we still lack what Kojève (1969) calls the universal and homogenous state (UHS) that is non-expandable and non-transformable; in other words a global political system that is free from faction and strife. So we are in a period of “non-time” where history and historical action has come to an end but has not reached the final state of satisfaction that is only possible in the UHS. Darby (1982) compares this period of non-time we are in to the period between the death and resurrection of Jesus. This is a period of flux where the old conception of history as progress no longer makes sense, but we have not yet made it to the final state (the UHS), even though in principle we know how to bring it about. Again using Darby’s (2001) language, this is a period of spiritual crisis, the old way of understanding the world (through political economic identities like communism and capitalism) have faded away, history is no longer the march of progress, and people need to find new ways of making sense of the world. This is opening up space for religion to once again provide meaning and explanation to people suffering this spiritual crisis.

Kojève (1969) provides two archetypes of what humanity will be like at the end of history: Reanimalized Man, and Japanized Man. Reanimalized man is thoroughly post-political, without politics and action; man looses what makes him man, and is thus reanimalized. Reanimalized Man seeks recognition as an equal, and thus once universal mutual recognition is achieved in the UHS, everyone is satisfied and there is no more war or bloody revolutions as Kojève says. Thus Reanimalized Man is the inhabitant of civilization, which is defined as being inclusive with fuzzy boundaries, where people from different backgrounds can live together in peace, since everyone is recognized as an equal. This is to be contrasted with Japanized Man, who seeks recognition not as an equal like Reanimalized Man, but as a superior. Kojève (1969) gives examples from Japanese culture such as tea ceremonies, Noh theatre, and the art of bouquets of flowers that are examples of cultural snobbery. Thus the Japanized Man is the inhabitant of culture, which is defined as being exclusive with hard boundaries. Cultures are inward looking, believe in their own superiority (thus the snobbery), and thus wish to be recognized by others as superior, and are not willing to settle for being recognized as equal. Thus viewing Huntington’s (1996) clash of civilizations through the lens of Kojève, we see that what Huntington (despite his own objections to the idea) is describing is the problem of Japanized Man that appears at the end of history. In other words, we end up with a clash of cultures based on religion, which are bound for conflict because they all believe they are superior to the others and wish to be recognized as such.

LET ME JUMP IN AND SAY THIS ABOUT THAT

NOW WHO WOULD EVER THINK 2-2

Some have suggested, such as Lee Harris (2004) in his book Civilization and its Enemies, that the paradigm of post-Cold War global politics is not one of a clash of cultures, but culture against civilization. This is certainly true in one respect, but not in the way Harris thinks it is. The problem of today is that there really is no organized civilization in practice, just the persistent idea of it, and as Kojève predicted, the West (including Russia) has become Japanized. Thus the globalization of American Empire precisely fits the pattern of Japanized Man, because the process is a top down assertion of the superiority of American economics, political control, and culture on the world. The average American has also embraced the snobbishness Kojève talks about, which is indicative in Harris (2004) when he talks about the United States as the only source of legitimate power that can save the world from ruthless gangs of thugs. This is based on the common conception that Americans are essentially superior to the rest of the world, that America alone is free and democratic, that America alone can save the world as Harris implies. This is pure snobbery. Interestingly enough Kojève also talks about the Japanized Man being willing to commit “a perfectly ‘gratuitous’ suicide…which has nothing to do with the risk of life in a fight waged for the sake of ‘historical’ values that have social or political content.” (1969, p. 162) This is precisely what the US is doing with its occupation of Iraq, it is willing to commit economic suicide (economics has been the basis of American Empire) to carry on the hopeless and extremely expensive occupation of Iraq, which is completely free of social or political content at this point. The main arguments for staying in Iraq are now not related to any political or economic motives, most of which have been either accomplished or rendered impossible to achieve, it is now about honor. Bush talks about not cutting and running, and accuses the opposition of being cowardly for not wanting to continue to fight. Again there is no political content here, what the US hopes to achieve with an infinite occupation is never articulated, and a strictly realist analyst would view the continued occupation as nothing but a drain on American resources. Thus the West has been Japanzied as Kojève predicted, with American Empire representing not the spread of civilization, but its opposite, the imposition of a single culture.

If religious and ethnic based wars “bubble up from below” as Huntington (1996) points out, we have a dual structure of conflict. We still have conflict flowing down from above, in the form of American Empire attempting to maintain its cultural dominance as well as these bottom level religious conflicts. However the global resurgence of religion combined with the decline of the American Empire, will mean that these religious conflicts bubbling up from below will become much more prominent and important, which is why it is important to try and explain the causes of the resurgence of religion within the context of this post-political era we live in.

jonr—And I have a right, given the power of the presidency in the US (which is more than it should be) to expect better. You have a right to expect less. YOu do not have a right to tell me to expect less.

Yes, I do expect our govt to step out of the reach of big money—it may not happen, but, it is certainly not too much to expect..you must be very moderate in your political views. THAT, is what has gotten us where we are, in my opinion. Better than Bush. YOu guys have to come up with something better…

honr—“Maybe Sebelius is too elite.  I don’t know.  Obviously, I’m not getting it… because I’m still having trouble wrapping my mind around how having intelligent and competent people in the president’s cabinet, one’s who are capable of critical thought and are pretty able to answer biased questions credibly and with poise, is a ‘bad’ thing.”

So all you expect from our leaders is intelligence and poise (poise?) We have a RIGHT to better. Pres. Obamas cabinet is NOT doing enough to fix the major problem that are giong to be the downfall of this country. I dont give a damn how intelligent or elite someone is. Hes just too passive.

Sebilius’ ideas for “health care insurance reform” are terrible ! THAT is one of aour major probelms…

People are tired of settling for Bush or “not bush”...

It sounds like youre just saying ‘hes not Bush”. Good, But I want better.

I want someone to stop giving money to banks and nationalize them. I want single payer health care.I want VAST economic reforms, starting with Wall St and the banking industry. I want progresive people in the Cabinet. I want the EFCA. I DONT want PAFTA.

NO, you dont get it…
