Animated version of Thomas Jefferson, and his thoughts on the modern tea party. Full transcription and quotation below: “Hello, my name is Thomas Jefferson. I am the third president of the United States, and I was the main writer of the Deceleration of Independence. I have heard that in present day America, you guys are having some hard times with politics, and I wanted to offer up some advice. Specifically on the modern day Tea Party.” “So listen up. First off, for all you people, the first tea party was about taxation, without representation. Today, because of our revolution, you the people are represented in congress, and the house of representatives. Furthermore, as far as political parties goes. “I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men, whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to ,heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.” Let me leave you with this one thought: forget political party majorities and minorities. “One man with courage is a majority in and of itself.”" Thomas Jefferson Go to: www.MassCasualties.com thomas jefferson, president, united states, bill o’reilly, glenn beck, sarah palin, keith olbermann, jon stewart, stephen colbert, educational, tea party, koch brothers, alex jones, rachel maddow, fox news, msnbc, the young turks, barrack obama …

Complete video at: fora.tv Author, scholar and journalist Karen Armstrong discusses the need to apply Socratic philosophy to the counterproductive fierceness of modern debate. “Real philosophical debate…that is conducted in the spirit of malice or hate will not work,” she says. —– Ms. Armstrong describes how Islam, Judaism and Christianity have been diverted from a shared moral purpose. She now is working with the TED community to build a Charter for Compassion. – Chautauqua Institution Karen Armstrong is one of the most provocative, original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern world. Armstrong is a former Roman Catholic nun who left a British convent to pursue a degree in modern literature at Oxford. In 1982 she wrote a book about her seven years in the convent, Through the Narrow Gate, that angered and challenged Catholics worldwide; her recent book The Spiral Staircase discusses her subsequent spiritual awakening after leaving the convent, when she began to develop her iconoclastic take on the great monotheistic religions. She has written more than 20 books around the ideas of what Islam, Judaism and Christianity have in common, and around their effect on world events, including the magisterial A History of God and Holy War: The Crusades and Their Impact on Todays World. Her latest book is The Bible: A Biography. Her meditations on personal faith and religion (she calls herself a freelance monotheist) spark discussion — especially her take on fundamentalism, which she sees in a historical context, as an outgrowth of modern culture.

How a Modern Orthodox Jew Struggled with Yoga and Judaism
A few years ago, freshly moved to Los Angeles, I started practicing yoga. I was feeling anxious and worried, and if I were still a New Yorker, I’d have gone on anti-depressants. But I’m a big believer in doing what the Romans do, and as it turned out, yoga helped a lot.
