Make the banks hear you

2011-10-13T12:38:00.000-05:00

Occupy Wall Street sometimes seems to be disoriented but the common thread is that the banks have fucked the American economy and destroyed the middle class. To pour salt into that wound, the American working class was forced to reimburse the banksters for the money that they stole. The banks thanked us by raising our interest rates and freezing our credit, all the while, paying themselves obscene bonuses for their incompetence and greed.

The right wing is trying to paint OWS protesters as a war against wealth. Nothing could be further from the truth. What the left wants is for the wealthy to pay their fair share of operating the government of the United States. Reagan brought us trickle down economics. The insane idea that if we give more wealth to those who are already incredibly rich, they will use that money to create jobs which will eventually help the peasants.

They created jobs alright. They created millions of jobs in India and China and each of those offshore jobs was taken away from an American. The only thing that tricked down from Reagan was that effuse which escaped from that senile old fools diaper.

Not everyone can travel to New York to join the protest. You are in luck because OWS is spreading across the country. The movement is becoming more organized and has the potential to become a liberal version of the Tea Party.

There is another thing that you can do to get the banks attention. Move your accounts! If you have money in Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, Chase, Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley, move that money to a local bank or a credit union. These small institutions also offer credit cards so start using those cards instead of those from the bankster companies. This is a boycott that will be heard right now and will send a clear message to the banksters that we are not going to take it anymore.

Occupy Wall Street - The American Spring

2011-10-06T10:42:00.004-05:00

The Occupy Wall Street protests are finally getting some much deserved media coverage. The movement is growing and spreading daily. In the beginning the media simply refused to cover the story. Not surprising, since most of the media is part of the corporate world that destroyed the economy. The New York Times was one of the worst offenders. They did not even acknowledge the protests outside of their blogs. Then the NYPD saved the day by arresting 700 people. It was a blatant attempt to intimidate the protesters but it forced the media to cover it. That coverage caused support to grow and the movement began to spread around the country.

The coverage was in huge contrast to the fawning coverage given to the tea baggers. Each time a dozen baggers showed up with their mullets and their misspelled signs, every network had camera crews on the scene.

Now the NYPD has changed tactics. The police are becoming more violent in their actions against peaceful protests. They are trying to force the protesters to respond in kind. The NYPD wants to turn incredibly peaceful protests into a riot. That will allow them to move in with force to end the protests.

We saw the same tactics during the Vietnam war protests. Cops would move in and start bashing peaceful kids in the head with their clubs. The kids would respond by throwing rocks and bottles at the cops and the riot was on. To their credit, today's protesters are not taking the bait and each day the NYPD looks more like a bunch of brutal fascists.

This movement could be the beginning of the American Spring, where the working man takes government back from his corporate overlords.

America has been in transition, from a country with a strong middle class, into a country made up of an aristocracy and a peasantry. It is about time that the people stood up.

Out of work? Nobody cares

2011-09-13T10:48:00.000-05:00

The republicans want you to be out of work. High unemployment makes for a cheap work force. Corporations can slash your pay and halt benefits and you can't do a fucking thing about it because you need that job. High unemployment makes it easy for corporations, like Verizon, to destroy unions because there are plenty of people who would be happy to take your job for lower wages if your walk out.

During the Clinton administration, Americans were working. Head hunters flourished as they tried to entice workers to leave their present job. Employers were forced to offer workers better pay and more benefits to compete. Those days are gone.

All of the blame cannot be placed on republicans. Obama has mostly pursued a Reaganesque policy of trickle down economics and the democrats are terrified at the prospect of being labeled as liberals in a country that has swung horrifyingly to the right.

So, the bottom line is that if you are out of work, you are fucked. Nobody cares and nobody is working on your behalf.

911

2011-09-11T14:16:00.002-05:00

Ten years ago today, Arabs, using money and men from Saudi Arabia, launched attacks inside the United States. The world was aghast at the senseless violence. Even in Tehran the people held candlelight vigils in the street. The world was behind us as we launched air attacks in Afghanistan in support of the Northern Alliance. The world cheered as we helped the Northern Alliance drive the al Qaeda supporting Taliban from power. From that point forward it was one Bush administration fuck-up after another.

Cheney decided to take advantage of the nationwide fear to implement the Project for a New American Century's plan to turn the United States into a world empire. They turned their attention to the Iraq oil fields and transformed Saddam Hussein, from the kind of brutal dictator that America usually adores, into a threat to world peace and conspirator in the Trade Center attacks. Weapons of mass destruction lies bought the support of most Americans but few other countries. Since Iran was #2 on the PNAC hit list, the administration began to vilify Iran and included that country in the 'axis of evil', despite the fact that Iran was largely supportive of America and the attacks on Afghanistan.

The invasion of Iraq was a quick success, but the occupation has been a never ending disaster. The success in Afghanistan was quickly negated when the Bush administration abandoned the Northern Alliance, who had done most of the fighting and installed a, generally hated, puppet regime to run the country.

The Bush greed and war mongering destroyed the United States position of respect and we became, almost universally, despised around the world.

In a few short years, Bush took us from being a prosperous, peace loving country into being a bankrupt war mongering country.

The terrorists are responsible for the murder of no more than 6,000 people around the world while Bush murdered a half million or more people with his quest to dominate the Middle East. Yes, the Bush administration was more evil than al Qaeda.

Unions and Teachers

2011-09-07T12:45:00.003-05:00

If you work a 40 hour work week - Thank the unions.
If your employer pays for your health care - Thank the unions.
If your work place is safe - Thank the unions.
If you get vacation time - Thank the unions.
If your pay is enough to support your family - Thank the unions.

None of these things existed until workers banded together and demanded it.

If you can read and write and understand the world around you - Thank the teachers.

No other college educated group of professionals has ever done so much for America and received so little in return.

If you think that you deserve none of the things listed above, be sure to vote for a republican.

If you think all of the things listed above are evil, be sure to vote for a libertarian.

John Birch Society = Tea Party = Libertarians

2011-09-04T12:10:00.002-05:00

In 1958, a bunch of libertarians came together and formed the John Birch Society. The goal of the Birchers was to convince the American people that every person in America who is to the left of Mussolini was a communist. In the beginning the JBS was embraced by mainstream republicans but within a few years their paranoid delusions chased away even the uber right, like William F. Buckley. Before Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower was the official republican deity. When the Birchers claimed that Eisenhower was actually a full blown communist, many of their more sane followers departed JBS. The darling of JBS was Joseph McCarthy.

Outside of finding a communist under every rock, the JBS dedicated themselves to opposing civil rights, especially integration, women's rights, regulation of capitalism and people who worshiped in the wrong religion.

So, we end up with a group of people who are the ideological twins of the Ku Klux Klan, but with a more socially acceptable face. They justified their racism by claiming that the civil unrest of the 60s was a communist movement. JBS was a racist, anti feminist, fundamentalist christian group of haters.

The founder and leader of the John Birch Society was Robert Welch. Another founder and financial backer was Fred Koch of Koch Industries. Two of his sons, commonly referred to as the Koch Brothers, were integral to the founding and financial support of the Tea Party. It seems that each time the organization becomes socially vile, they reappear with a new name.

KKK > John Birch Society > Tea Party. The latter two are generally strong followers of Ayn Rand. Only the focus has changed. The KKK focused on racism. The John Birch Society focused on communists. The Tea Party focuses on anti-government. Ideologically, they are more similar than they are different.

This brings us to Ron Paul. Paul published many racist rants in his newsletters. One condemned Ronald Reagan for signing the legislation making Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. He proclaimed it to be a national Hate Whitey Day. Paul has denied writing the newsletters and his libertarian followers believe him. Here is what they must swallow. It was Paul's newsletter. It is operated by Paul family members. It carried Paul's byline. It never published a retraction of the racist articles. For him to be unaware, then Ron Paul must have allowed some anonymous ghost writer to write words under Paul's own name which he NEVER read and nobody ever pointed out to him. I'm afraid I have to call bullshit on that one.

Paul claims that he has never been a member of the John Birch Society, but admits that he counts many of its leaders as his close friends. What is true about Paul is that he is a racist, anti feminist, corporatist, christian fundamentalist. Ron Paul is the ONLY elected official who receives a grade of 100% from JBS.

Hermann Goering

2011-08-17T09:38:00.000-05:00

In this excerpt from Gilbert's book on Goering, we can gain a great deal of insight into how wars are begun,

Sweating in his cell in the evening, Goering was defensive and deflated and not very happy over the turn the trial was taking. He said that he had no control over the actions or the defense of the others, and that he had never been anti-Semitic himself, had not believed these atrocities, and that several Jews had offered to testify on his behalf.

Later in the conversation, Gilbert recorded Goering's observations that the common people can always be manipulated into supporting and fighting wars by their political leaders:

We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

It works the same way in any country."

A bit of advice for Wall Street bankers

New Balance - Made in America

2011-08-04T13:31:00.002-05:00

I have worn New Balance athletic shoes for as long as I can remember. Last week I was visiting the New Balance web site and discovered, much to my amazement, that New Balance is the only athletic shoe that is still manufactured in the United States.

At a time when American industry is outsourcing our jobs to China and India as fast as they can, I felt obligated to give a plug to a company that places American workers over profits. While other scumbag companies employ overseas workers at near slave wages, we have a company here who makes a great product and employs Americans to make that product.

I am not affiliated with New Balance in any way, except for the fact that we are both Americans.

Obama caves again

2011-08-03T16:19:00.002-05:00

Once again Obama allowed himself to get involved in a dog fight with republicans. The problems is that the republicans brought a pit bull and Obama entered a kitten. Back in December, when Obama caved on extending tax cuts for billionaires, a reporter asked him why he didn't include a hike in the debt ceiling as part of the negotiations. Obama's naive response was that nobody would ever allow the US to go into default and destroy the economy. Doah!

The republicans do want to destroy the United States. They want to remake this country into a one party fascist empire. The GOP was perfectly willing to destroy the entire economy rather than give up a single concession to the president. Obama was simply outclassed from beginning to end.

One of the items Obama conceded to was the seemingly unconstitutional super congress. Six members from each party will decide on massive budget cuts and their decision cannot be voted down or vetoed. What the fuck?

Here is what is going to happen. If the super congress cannot come to an agreement, automatic draconian cuts will kick in that will devastate the middle class. The tea bagging republicans have no reason to negotiate because draconian cuts are exactly what the mother fuckers are after. Democrats will have no choice but to give them everything they demand, including making the billionaire tax cuts permanent.

Barack Obama is an embarrassing failure.

The Empire of the United States

2011-06-29T11:45:00.001-05:00

You cannot become an empire without waging war. The Project for a New American Century is a blueprint for turning the US into a Fascist Empire. Even though The Project was honed and defined during the Reagan years, it wasn't given complete control over all US foreign affairs until the Bush administration.

Bush populated the cabinet of his administration with people directly from The Project.

An empire seeks to dominate the resources of conquered countries. A fascist empire turns those resources over to the giant corporations who control the government. The cost of these 'never ending' wars always falls onto the backs of the commoners, and never onto those who make huge profits from the wars.

If I have to choose just one reason to be disappointed in Obama, it would be his failure to reverse our direction toward world domination.

Welcome to The Empire of the United States.

What is most dangerous, coal or nuclear?

2011-06-25T10:25:00.001-05:00

That is a difficult question to answer. In the short term, coal is worse. Burning coal is the most filthy way to create energy on the face of the earth. Burning coal poisons the air, the water and the ground. A few years back, when the tide was turning against the use of coal, the industry mounted a spectacularly successful ad campaign to change public opinion. The ads championed 'clean coal energy'. The ads were all lies. The clean coal plants mentioned in the ads do not exist. Not only is there not one single clean coal facility under construction, there is not even one in any sort of advanced planning stage. The American public was sold a huge lie, and they bought it hook, line and sinker.

The only good thing you can say about coal is that within a few years after its use is discontinued, the planet will make a complete recovery. That will probably not occur until after the human race has perished.

Nuclear power plants, on the other hand, create a byproduct that is the most poisonous substance known to mankind. Even if a nuclear plant never has a meltdown, it is creating a poison that will still be toxic in 10,000 years. Most of that toxic waste is stored at the generating plant. That is because nobody wants that shit stored near their home.

When you have a nuclear meltdown, like the one occurring now in Japan, that poison is released into the environment. Right now, Fukushima has thousands of tons of highly radioactive water that has flooded the plant. That water is leaking into the land, the air, the ground water and the sea. It is a disaster of biblical proportions that is underway right now. When it is done, Chernobyl will look like a minor glitch.Within a few months, you will see ads from the nuclear energy like those that fooled people into thinking coal was safe.

What we need is a NASA style program, funded with tens of billions of dollars, to develop clean energy that can replace oil, coal and nuclear. Unfortunately, we have lobbyists with deep pockets who will bribe your elected officials to make sure that never happens.

One thing that you can be sure of. When there is a massive nuclear meltdown in the US, the cleanup will be at the expense of the taxpayer, and not at the expense of the folks who have made billions from their unsafe plants.

The great stock market crash of 2011

2011-06-23T09:19:00.000-05:00

The economy is in shambles. The middles class is disappearing. There are no jobs. Recent college graduates are taking minimum wage jobs. Yet, the stock market is hovering around 12,000. Why? It is because the stock market is the biggest Ponzi scheme ever devised.

Do you remember the dot com bust? That was when investors finally realized that a company which never earned a dollar, and had no plans to make a profit, might not actually be worth two billion dollars. People buy stocks because they think the market is going to go up. And it usually does. Until it crashes.

Giant corporations have fixed the prices on energy, phones, insurance, health care and food. The middle class is bleeding to death. There is no hope in sight for the bleeders but the corporations are making record profits. Once the middle class is dead, who will buy the products that the giants sell? Nobody, is the correct answer. That is when the market will collapse. That is when the credit cards will go unpaid.

We have an economy that is entirely based on the availability of cheap labor. That is a death cycle for America. Cheap labor has no money to buy corporate products. The solution is to create lots of good paying jobs. Unfortunately, neither republicans or democrats have any interest in doing that.

The Romans and the Christians

2011-06-15T14:07:00.001-05:00

Christianity, above all, is a religion born of martyrdom. If they did not believe that Jesus was martyred, there would be no christianity.

We have to take a step back and look at why the Romans tried to oppress the christians. The Romans knew that they could not succeed if they banned the religions of conquered nations. They were notoriously tolerant of other religions because it made occupation of the conquered country easier. Battling long held religious beliefs was a losing proposition. Early christians found the nudity and sex taking place in the Roman baths abhorrent. As a result, they forbid bathing by their members. They were also pacifists and would not accept anyone who had killed into their cult. Since soldiers had either killed or were likely to kill, soldiers could not join and christians could not become soldiers. To a Roman, the only thing more important than cleanliness was the pride they took in serving as soldiers. To most of the citizens of Rome, christians were seen, literally, as stinking cowards. The revulsion of Romans for christians caused the cult to go underground. This secrecy added to the rumors swirling about the evil deeds of christians.

Since martyring oneself was a guaranteed entry into heaven, many christians were all too happy to die for their religion. One Roman emperor once quipped, if they want to die, why can't they just jump off a cliff instead of forcing us to do it for them? The common method of carrying out a death sentence was to place them in an arena to be torn apart by wild animals. That was not a punishment for christians, but for criminals in general.

Over the next 200 years, Rome weakened and the Jesus myth grew. I say myth because Jesus does not appear anywhere in recorded history. There is a mention of him by Josephus, but historians largely consider that to be a forgery. The first gospels to mention Jesus were written two generations after his supposed martyrdom. The period in which Jesus is said to have lived was recorded by many contemporary historians and the idea that such an important leader could have missed being noted is pretty far fetched. My personal belief is that Jesus was morphed out of stories of John the Baptist and they are, in fact, the same person. They simply took stories of John, then added a magical birth and a magical death to make him fit Jewish biblical prophecies.

The demise of the union

2011-06-14T13:40:00.000-05:00

What is made in America? Precious little, as free trade has encouraged corporations to flee to offshore production. The cheap Chinese crap that you buy today is made with near slave labor and no laws to protect the environment.

Unions are the number one barrier to protect us from creeping fascism. A corporation cannot slash staff, wages and benefits when the workers are organized. That is why unions are under siege by the republican party. It is just another step towards corporate domination of the working class. Republicans want American workers to be out of work so the corporate world has easy access to a cheap labor base who cannot afford to quit when they are abused.

As evil and diabolical as the republicans are, the democrats are certainly not a beacon of hope. As campaigns depend more and more on the corporate dollar, the less the democrats are willing to support the working people. If you are a liberal in America, you have no voice in government. If you work for a living, you have no hope.

Fukushima meltdown

2011-06-11T15:49:00.001-05:00

Within a few hours after the giant tsunami hit Japan, three of the nuclear units suffered a complete meltdown. It is likely that all of the fuel melted, passing completely through the pressure vessel and down into the containment building. The containment building is severely flooded and water is still being pumped into it. By June 20th this highly contaminated water will begin to overflow and run into the ocean, creating a nuclear disaster of biblical proportions.

Be sure to keep track of this on the news. Oh wait, you can't because the news media is too busy covering Congressman Weiner's dick to cover the most dangerous event taking place anywhere in the world. Perhaps they will warn you sometime before massive amounts of radiation reach California.

Palestinian Ghetto gets a door

2011-05-28T10:15:00.000-05:00

Egypt has ended its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Israel is outraged. How dare Egypt treat those people like they are human!

The ultra right wing Likud Party enjoys using the same tactics that were used against them in 1935. You would expect Israel to be the last country on earth to oppress an entire population, including their children. Israel subscribes to the dogma of punishing all of the people for the actions of a few.

Palestinians should all sew gold stars on their clothing to remind Israel of its heritage.

Democrats win NY district 26!!!

2011-05-24T23:58:00.002-05:00

Kathy Hochul kicked some republican butt in New York today. She campaigned hard against GOP attempts to destroy Medicare. Queue up the theme for 2012. I think that the Ryan budget is going to haunt republicans for two very long years. Each one of the little fucks is going into the 2012 elections with an albatross around their necks.

If you have any doubts about the significance of this election, read on. NY 26 has 30,000 more republicans than democrats. Hochul was outspent by a margin of 2 to 1. This is one of those districts where democrats did not stand a chance of winning. This is a mandate against the republican war on the middle class.

Tomorrow you will see republican after republican getting in front of any camera they can find to denounce the Ryan budget.

The seat was previously held by Christopher Lee (below), famous for his shirtless Craigslist photos where he solicited females and transgender males for sex. It came as no surprise that Lee was the darling of the christian right and a resident of the holier than thou, C Street.

Tim Pawlenty - A child molesters best friend

2011-05-24T09:55:00.001-05:00

As governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty saw fit to pardon Jeremy Giefer. Giefer had been convicted of fucking a 13 year old girl. Of course that is rape. When Giefer got out of jail, he married the girl who was now 14. What the fuck? 14! Married to a 14 year old! How is that not reason to send him back to prison? Turns out the little girl was pregnant with Giefer's child so the governor considered that marrying her was a magnanimous act.

Jeremy Giefer

No criminal has a higher recidivism rate than child molesters. They are almost CERTAIN to re-offend. As it turns out, Giefer was no exception to that rule. Giefer was arrested for fucking his own daughter, the child of his earlier rape victim. He began ordering her to perform oral sex on him when she was 9 and continued having sex with her until she was 16 and reported him.

Giefer sought the pardon so that his wife could open a child care center in their home! Way to go Pawlenty! Nothing like providing the man with a fresh stream of new victims.

Update: The child care center has been closed and an investigation begun. Giefer was out on bail and ordered to stay away from his daughter. He violated those terms when he met with her and attempted to get her to retract her accusations. Giefer was rearrested and had his bail increased to one million dollars. Tim Pawlenty is still free.

2011-05-22T11:04:00.001-05:00

Poor Paul Ryan. He is getting hammered from both sides in his fight to destroy Medicare. The worst from Newt who called the plan, right wing social engineering. Republicans screeched at Gingrich for the comments, then fled from Ryan's plan like rats leaving a sinking ship.

The Ryan plan is simple. Turn all of the Medicare funds over to private insurance companies and count on their humanitarianism to protect the elderly. None of the republican fascists want to discuss any mechanism that would be put into place to make sure that every senior was covered. That is because there are none. Given that the health care monopolies are some of the most evil and greedy people on earth, good luck. The fact is that the voucher plan would destroy Medicare and leave old folks with no health care. GOP win!

A few years ago, the fascists would not have dared to offer such a plan. The AARP was a very strong lobby that protected the interests of retired people. Today, AARP has morphed into a pimp for the insurance industry, running thousands of television ads trying to con old folks into buying insurance from companies that pay kickbacks to AARP. Now days, the best benefit you can get from your AARP membership card would be to wipe your ass with it.

Rapture fizzles

2011-05-21T09:02:00.000-05:00

Legions of brain dead christians woke up this morning to find themselves still glued to the earth. Rational people were not surprised, but many of us were disappointed. The world would have become a much better place if hoards of fundamentalists had departed. If the world could be shed of fundamentalist christians, muslims and jews, we might actually have peace break out around the world. Imagine, a world without religious hatred, racism and bigotry.

This is the second time that idiot Harold Camping got his prediction wrong. His 1994 scam was written off as a mathematical error and his simple minded followers continued to enrich the old man. Camping based his timeline on a date that was exactly 7,000 years after the great flood. A flood that every single geologist will tell you never, ever happened in the first place.

That is what happens when you place your faith in a book of fables that was written thousands of years ago by a bunch of ignorant middle eastern goat herders.

Fallout continues

2011-05-09T23:35:00.000-05:00

You wouldn't know it by watching the news in this country, but the situation at the Japanese nuclear power plant is still extremely dangerous. Just as with the huge BP oil spill, MSM has tired of this story quickly.

Just as I predicted earlier, the utility has asked the people of Japan to pay for its own negligence. They must think that they are Goldman Sachs. How about forcing the board and shareholders to return all of the profits they have hauled in from the plant since it started.

The plant is still spewing radiation into the air, the sea and the ground water. many of the workers trying to prevent a complete meltdown will likely die from their exposure. Homeowners for hundreds of square miles will never be able to return home.

Do you know who is not putting themselves in danger? The corporate owners and top management. If there was justice, they would take the CEO and the board of directors and chain them to the door of the most dangerous reactor. After a few days, it would be fun to get their opinion of reactor safety.

War is profitable

2011-05-09T12:47:00.001-05:00

Of course war is not profitable to the boys we send to die in it. War is not profitable to the kids who come home mangled and limbless. And, no way is war profitable to the American people who are taxed to death to pay for it. War is not profitable for the hundreds of thousands of civilians who are killed and wounded.

War is very profitable if you manufacture the hardware used in war. War is very profitable if you are a provider of logistics for war. War is very profitable if you are a giant corporation who is allowed to plunder the resources of the conquered land.

Now, guess which of these groups have the ear of our government.

Dear Middle Class

2011-05-08T01:26:00.000-05:00

Dear Middle Class,

We would like to thank you for lowering your standard of living so we can increase ours.

Love,

The Corporations

PS: We also want to say thanks for giving up most of your civil rights so we can fuck you any time we like. Kisses.

Half mast flag

2011-05-06T16:07:00.002-05:00

Springfield, Ohio. A hotel in Springfield was trying to replace their flag when the flagpole rope broke, stranding the flag halfway down. This caused many of the town folks to assume that the flag had been lowered to mourn Osama bin Laden. They began making hateful calls to the hotel and the local newspaper. WTF? How stupid are the people of Springfield? It boggles the mind as to how these simpletons could make such a leap in judgement. After hotel employees explained the mishap, the irate citizens went back to watching Fox News.

By definition, half the people in this country have a below average IQ.

Intelligent Design

2011-05-06T00:06:00.003-05:00

Have you ever noticed that the people who claim that humans came from intelligent design, are always the least intelligent of the species?

If man was indeed designed by a god, then he must have been a really stupid motherfucker. There are no other animals on the face of the earth that are as flawed as the human animal. They claim that this god person created us in his own image. Since I first heard that, I imagined a great bearded man with these giant painful hemorrhoids hanging out of his ass. Does god have allergies? Headaches? Has he ever had cancer surgery? Been addicted to cocaine? Murdered children? Oh yeah, that's right, he murders lots of children each time he gets pissed off. When he isn't in the mood to murder children himself, he orders some woman in Texas to murder her own children in his name.

The sad truth is that man is just an ape that evolved with a larger brain than the other apes. Big enough to be curious, but not big enough to answer all the questions. The first god was probably invented the first time that this intelligent ape saw lightning and heard thunder. All three of the major Western religions were invented by a bunch of ignorant Middle Eastern goat herders.

People ask, "If there is no god, then what is the meaning of life?" The meaning of life is the same for all living things on this planet, propagation of the species. From man, all the way down to single cell plants, we want our lineage to survive. And that, my dear, is why your husband is fucking his secretary.

Mission Accomplished!

2011-05-02T19:43:00.001-05:00

Bush in 2005: I don't know where he is. I just don't spend that much time thinking about him.

May 1, 2011

Obama: Hello George, I just killed Osama bin Laden.

Bush: Hey Laura, pour me another one.

Laura: (unintelligible)

Bush: Goddammit, I'll decide when I've had enough.

Obama: Goodbye George.

Victory!

2011-05-02T11:26:00.000-05:00

Osama bin Laden is dead. Now is the perfect time to declare victory and get the fuck out of the middle east.

We went into Afghanistan to punish al Qaeda for 9-11. Well, al Qaeda is no longer prominent in Afghanistan so the military industrial complex morphed the action into war with the Taliban.

Then President Retardo decided to invade Iraq, for reasons known only to Dick Cheney, Halliburton and Exxon. The campaign in Iraq has been the most embarrassing military failure since Vietnam. We turned the country over to the people of Iraq, yet 50,000 troops remain behind. These troops are there to protect the interests of the oil company war sponsors.

The Cheney war mongers then began rattling their sabres at Iran. Another oil rich country came under the sights of the oil company war sponsors.

Now we are waging a murderous campaign in Libya.

Outside of the initial campaign to punish al Qaeda, every act of war we have become involved in has been for access to oil.

Americans should demand that we declare victory and remove our kids from that vile part of the world. If they were serious about trying to fight terrorism, we would be taking the fight to the people who fund terrorism, mostly the Saudis. If we responded to each terror attack by launching a cruise missile into a random Saudi palace, we might actually see some results.

Osama bin Laden Dead

2011-05-01T22:44:00.000-05:00

Nearly 9 years after Bush allowed bin Laden to escape from Tora Bora, the head of al Qaeda has been killed.

Does US Libya policy include murdering children?

2011-05-01T18:09:00.000-05:00

Is it now OK to murder children to achieve your military goals? The entire world was horrified at the massacre by US soldiers at My Lai, Vietnam. Of course that was pre-Bush/Cheney. Now the US seems to just casually refer to the murder of civilians as "collateral damage". So I guess now we will just shrug away the deaths of children.

These murdered children should be brought to the US and laid on the steps of the Whitehouse.

Stock market - biggest Ponzi scheme of them all

2011-04-27T12:20:00.000-05:00

The stock market is nothing more than a huge Ponzi scheme. In a stable market, the selling price of a company's stock would represent the value of that company plus any expected increase in earnings. Ha ha ha.

On any given day, the market might lose 2% based on facts that have nothing to do with the potential of the company. We can get a bad report on employment and the market will drop 200 points. The next day, even though the same conditions still exist, the market might rebound 300 points. It's all a matter of programmed buy/sell algorithms, and has nothing to do with the real world.

If you buy stock when the market is at 12,000+ and the bubble bursts, you have no one to blame but your own stupid self.

We are in the midst of a depression folks. The economy is teetering. Why is the fucking market increasing every day? Ponzi! Only one thing will turn the economy around. Jobs. Unemployed people don't buy shit. If you want the economy to turn around, fix joblessness. Once the people have a dime in their pocket, they can't wait to spend it and the economy grows.

Happy Jesus zombie day!

2011-04-24T15:40:00.002-05:00

Today, Christians celebrate the day that Jesus crawled up out of his grave and became the world's first documented zombie. His diet remains unrecorded but, based on other zombies, it is safe to assume that he ate the brains of all the bystanders.

Ironically, an entire town of people without brains greatly enhanced the spread of Christianity.

Christians, even today, still practice satanic rituals where they pretend to eat of Jesus' flesh and drink his blood. Will the zombie carnage never end?

Earth Day

2011-04-22T15:01:00.001-05:00

Save the Earth? The earth is not in any danger. The earth has been here for billions of years. Man has been here for less than the blink of an eye.

As man makes the earth more and more poisonous, it is man that will eventually perish. After we have been gone for a few millennium, there will be little evidence that we ever existed. The planet will become fresh and clean again.

It was a cruel trick that evolution produced mankind. An animal driven by greed and conquest. A filthy animal who reproduces at a rate far beyond that which his environment can support. The earth has not been well served by this particular creature. The earth will not miss us.

Texas - Guns for kids

2011-04-20T12:11:00.002-05:00

Texas republicans have been trying hard to get more guns into schools. The most recent attempt has been a new law to prevent campuses from prohibiting concealed carry at Texas schools.

The work of the NRA proved successful this week when a 6 year old brought a gun to his kindergarten class. The gun fell from the child's backpack and discharged, injuring the perpetrator and two others.

The NRA released a statement, "See, if the other 6 year old kids had their own guns, they could have dropped this little motherfucker in his tracks".

When questioned, the child claimed to have purchased the weapon at a gun show.

GOP was driving the bus

2011-04-19T12:30:00.000-05:00

The American people seem to have forgotten that the current economic crash was caused by the policies and actions of the republicans. When President Retardo took office, he inherited from Clinton a bustling and prosperous nation.

Bush and his cronies immediately set about implementing the programs that destroyed this country. They were quite successful.

Eisenhower would not be allowed in today's GOP

2011-04-16T11:44:00.003-05:00

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

War settles nothing.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.

Republican scumbags try to destroy Medicare

2011-04-15T11:15:00.000-05:00

Ever since Medicare was first implemented, republican scumbags have been trying to destroy it. They called it socialized medicine, just like they did with Obama's health care bill. As part of the GOP war on children, women and the aged, they now want to privatize Medicare. Does anyone really thing that turning Medicare over to giant corporations will make it better? No, they will make it better in the same way that deregulating crooked bankers made the economy better.

Understand this: Unfettered capitalism is one of the most evil form of government in the world. The only way that capitalism can work is by making sure that it is heavily regulated.

When republicans remove regulations, corporations respond with a savage attack on the American people. Corporations have no love of the American way of life. Their only concern is profits and they will lie, cheat and steal to make those profits.

How Obama will lose in 2012

2011-04-15T10:04:00.000-05:00

The most import thing to Americans right now is jobs. If republicans want to beat Obama in 2012 all they have to do is campaign on job creation. Obama has nothing to counter that point. He has done practically nothing to put people to work. Once the banks were saved, his work was done.

Of course, the last thing republicans want is more jobs. What republicans want is cheap labor. If they had their way, they would bring back slavery. That doesn't mean they won't campaign on the issue. I'm sure that they think that if Bill Gates could just get a bigger tax break, he would create more jobs. Fuckers! Hypocrisy is their game.

Prohibition

2011-04-14T11:55:00.001-05:00

This is what you get when you have an insane war on drugs. The prohibition causes far more violence than the drugs themselves. Plus, it pours billions of dollars into the gangs. It is exactly the same as when we had prohibition against alcohol. The drug policy is just nuts.

When we killed prohibition, the violence disappeared almost overnight. We will never learn. The US drug laws have not slowed the availability of drugs one iota. We do not have a war on drugs. We have a war on the people.

How to keep your war going forever

2011-04-13T09:38:00.000-05:00

When George the First decided to invade Iraq, he had learned two important lessons from Vietnam.

1. People who witness war, don't like war

2. If you send rich kids to war, the war gets called off.

To make sure that the general population doesn't get to witness your war, you simply keep the press out. If the American public doesn't see your war on the nightly news, then the American public doesn't get upset with your war. Also, you must not let the press distribute pictures of the plane loads of coffins coming home from your war. Seeing the results of your war can be just as inflammatory as seeing the war itself.

If no other lesson was learned from Vietnam, the Bush family learned that drafting rich kids turned even neocons against your war. In the beginning of the Vietnam war it was fairly easy for rich kids to get deferments. It was difficult for poor or black kids to get into college so naturally you deferred college students. Another way to scam the system was to get your kid into the National Guard. To earn this dodge you had to be rich AND connected. Georgie Junior kept his ass home using this method. After awhile, people began to notice that the plane loads of body bags contained only poor kids. Liberals had their way and the draft was replaced with a lottery that made it very difficult for the rich and connected to keep their kids out of the war. This was the turning point in Vietnam. As soon as rich kids started being killed, people who mattered became antiwar. Lesson learned. No draft!.

How do war mongers ever get support for their war in the first place? Nobody explains that better that better than Hermann Goering.

During the Nuremberg trials Hermann Goering was interviewed by an army psychologist named Gustave Gilbert. Gilbert later transcribed his interviews and incorporated them in his book, 'Nuremberg Diary'.

Later in the conversation, Gilbert recorded Goering's observations that the common people can always be manipulated into supporting and fighting wars by their political leaders:

We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

It works the same way in any country."

Japan nuke spill raised to Level 7

GOP congressman Sam Graves has a party

2011-04-11T10:34:00.000-05:00

This picture was taken during last weeks late night budget negotiations. As you can see by the sign, the picture of a pile of empty beer cases and a single pizza box, was taken outside of republican Sam Graves office.

We cannot assume that all of that beer was consumed by the congressman, There could have been a number of prostitutes in that office with the congressman. Since it is all light beer, it is probably safe to assume that they were male prostitutes, because no self respecting female whore would drink light beer. We can also assume that the congressman is a cheap little prick because that is just one slice of pizza for each 15 beers. Congressman, that is no way to treat your hookers!

Balance of Power

Obama caves again

2011-04-09T15:38:00.000-05:00

Conservatives and liberals wired differently.

2011-04-08T11:12:00.000-05:00

WASHINGTON — Everyone knows that liberals and conservatives butt heads when it comes to world views, but scientists have now shown that their brains are actually built differently.

Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear, said the study on Thursday in Current Biology.

"We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala," the study said.

So, to sum up this article, liberals are rational and conservatives are reactionary.

Japan meltdown

2011-04-07T22:26:00.001-05:00

What was the basic cause of the Japanese nuclear meltdown? It was a lack of electricity to power the cooling pumps. The plant had enough backup power to run the cooling pumps for a mere 8 hours. I know. You just said, "What the fuck?" What kind of moron would not have more than 8 hours of backup to prevent such a horrific accident? The answer is simple, if not acceptable. Power generators and fuel storage cost money. That money could instead be diverted to profits.

The emergency in Japan is far from over. The reactors are unstable and a total meltdown is still possible. Thousands of people will never be able to return to their ancestral homes. Cleanups costs will be in the billions. Who will pay? That is the easiest answer of all. The people of Japan will pay. The electric company will keep their profits. General Electric, who built the abomination, will keep their profits. Unfortunately, Japan's economy was unhealthy before the disaster. With Japanese industry crippled, where will the money come from?

In the mean time, the US nuclear industry is pouring money into politicians to make damned sure this country doesn't go all safety crazy on them.

Government in deficit, how did we get here?

2011-04-06T11:47:00.000-05:00

This is how. George Bush along with a republican majority in congress and the senate, shifted the tax burden from those with lots of money to those with little money. There was NO deficit at the time that this little piece of shit was appointed president.

In addition to stripping the treasury, republicans deregulated industry and replaced watchdogs with industry sycophants. Bankers were free to sell snake oil securities. Oil companies, were free to plunder national resources without concern of safety or environment. Mine operators were allowed to kill all the miners they wanted if it added to their bottom line. Gasoline was allowed to soar to a point where low income families were bankrupted. The government, by law, was forbidden from negotiating better prices for health care. And, worst of all, Microsoft was allowed to release Vista.

Getting out of this mess is easy. Simply undo everything that was done by the republican fuckwads during the Bush administration. Social security would be more than solvent if all salary caps were removed for paying into SS. Medicare prescription costs could be drastically reduced by cutting patent protection on drugs to 5 years, and require the government to seek bids on all drugs that are prescribed to Medicare recipients.

The one thing that would get get Americans back to work faster than anything would be to end free trade. Charge a huge tax on any product imported from any country where workers are paid near slave wages. Tax the crap out of any corporation that uses India or Pakistan for telephone support. Then end the obscene H1B visa program. H1B was implemented for the sole reason of dragging down the wages of highly technical workers to that of unskilled labor.

Too bad that it would require a president who is not a coward and democrats with balls to implement any of these change.

Doing Gods work

2011-04-02T22:31:00.002-05:00

Reverend Grant Storms is a New Orleans preacher who made a name for himself by crusading against homosexuals. He refers to himself as a Christian patriot. The very godly man also railed against Catholics and refers to them as demonic.

It seems that the pounder of the good book has a few demons of his own. He was caught parked next to a playground and he was busy pounding his dick as he watched the children play. I have to say, there are few things that are more patriotic than jacking off, but a real man would have been parked near the high school to do his wanking.

I think he missed his calling. He should have been a priest. Then, when he got caught, he would have been transferred instead of arrested. Storms admits that he has been struggling with his addiction to pornography, but he swore to God that he wasn't interested in fucking children.

Dear Mr. President,

2011-04-02T17:57:00.000-05:00

Dear President Obama,

Please pick an issue and take a stand. Any issue. Any stand. Unions, healthcare, the budget, war, republican craziness, the environment. We don't care. We would just like to have you show some sign of possessing a backbone. Cajones. Guts. Spine. Anything. Really.

Not all republicans are racists

2011-03-31T09:14:00.001-05:00

Oh, wait. Yes they are. Living in a red neck state, a state that prides itself on how little it spends on education, I know lots of republicans. Some of them do not have a racist bone in their body. But, here is the deal. If you join a country club that does not allow Jews, you are a racist by association.

Beginning with the Ronald Reagan administration, the GOP has not only welcomed trailer trash racists into the party, but it has courted them. The republican party, since Ronald Reagan, has fought every single civil rights issue and it has tried to kill those that were passed before the GOP became a bastion for racists, bigots and gun crazy nationalists.

There is a reason that the republican stronghold is in the slave states. There is a reason that not a single GOP congressman or senator is black. The reason is that the republican party is a racist organization.

Save the Earth

Got health care?

2011-03-30T09:03:00.000-05:00

Republicans go after health care.

The REAL terrorists - republicans

2011-03-29T10:55:00.000-05:00

The republicans have declared war on women, children and every working American.

The GOP takes Sesame Street away from children. Exxon pays no taxes.

The republicans defunds the EPA so your children can die from polluted air. AT&T pays no taxes.

The right wing scumbags attack Planned Parenthood to take family planning away from women. General Electric paid no taxes.

The organization that single-handedly created the middle class is the union. Now the teabagger terrorists are trying to destroy unions on every front. Why? Because unions keep the giant corporations from being able to hire Americans at slave wages.

Republican terrorists will kill far more Americans than Islamic terrorists could ever hope to murder. Republicans destroy the American way of life, not for ideological reasons, but for corporate profits.

The fascist fucks claim that they want to balance the budget. They had no such worries when they controlled all three branches of government. Now they go after education dollars to save money while making sure that the richest Americans pay no taxes.

Limbaugh criticizes first lady's figure

You have been a bloated pig-boy your entire life. A huge, fat, pink mamas boy who has never exercised a single day throughout your hate-filled existence.

If you had not gone on the junkie diet, and gotten yourself hooked on hillbilly heroin, you could only extract yourself from your bed with a crane.

OK, fatso, the next time you decide to criticize the appearance of any other human being, get one of your staffers to roll you over to a huge mirror and take a gander at the disgusting mound of flesh that is staring back at you.

Socialized health care

2011-03-22T22:01:00.001-05:00

Republicans have railed against socialized medicine in this country. Why? Do they like to see sick people die? Or, do they just think that children dying of cancer are preferable to increasing taxes on millionaires?

How many of the fuckwads in the congressional republican caucus have rejected their own generous, public paid health care plans? Hey assholes, each time you take your own spawn to the doctors office, it is coming out of my fucking taxes.

AT&T consumes T-Mobile. Fascism advances

2011-03-20T21:56:00.001-05:00

What the fuck is going here? Each time a giant corporation consumes another giant corporation, consumers get fucked!

What next? Exxon-Mobil takes over Shell? In the end we will throw in Conoco, Chevron and BP and you will not leave the house without the permission of Exxon.

People make the mistake of associating fascism with Nazism. True fascism is more like what Mussolini brought to Italy. Real fascism is when the common good of corporations supersedes the common good of the people. Stage one of the conversion of a country to fascism must be the destruction of unions. Done, thank you Ronald Reagan.

Corporations cannot rule if there is plenty of competition, so their numbers must be reduced to a few who are willing to split the spoils so that the public can be properly fucked.

Obama launches murder spree in Libya

2011-03-20T00:44:00.002-05:00

Barack Obama just became the second president in a row to launch an attack on a country that posed absolutely no threat to this country. What the fuck are we doing becoming militarily involved in yet another Islamic country?

If Libya ousts the current brutal military dictator, he will almost certainly be replaced by a fanatical Islamic government. If Qaddafi poses a threat to the region, or to his own people, it is a regional problem and should be handled by the governments in that region. The very fact that no Islamic countries are partner to these attacks just serves to enhance the image of the United States as an aggressor nation in Africa and the Middle East. An image that more and more seems to be accurate.

Libya is in the throes of a civil war where both sides hate the United States equally.

Sometimes I think that if Obama was white and retarded, he would be way too much like Bush. Other dictators are far worse than Qaddafi and we haven't attacked them. Of course, the others have no oil.

Nuclear energy is not safe or cheap

2011-03-15T09:42:00.001-05:00

Radiation in Tokyo, 145 miles from the Fukushima Dai-ich reactor, is now 20 times above normal. China has cancelled all flights to Japan over radiation fears.

In other news, on Sunday republicans took to the airwaves to defend the use of nuclear energy in YOUR neighborhood.

A CNBC host said we were lucky that the quake was only taking lives and not crashing the stock market. Whoops, now it is doing both.

Texas republicans slash education funding

Gingrich - serial adulterer

2011-03-09T20:30:00.001-06:00

Serial adulterer, Newt Gingrich, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, claimed that love of his country led to his need to fuck staffers.

I guess he loved his country so much that he was walking around with a perpetual boner for America. With a constant hard-on, what choice did he have but to get naked with an underling?

He also said that his current marriage is sound. When you are fat, old, ugly and out of power, it's much more difficult to get an employee to fuck you.

Good job Newty. Consider your reputation redeemed.

The South will rise again

2011-03-07T15:01:00.002-06:00

I know, you think that the phrase, "The South will rise again", is used only by uneducated, trailer trash, cousin fuckers, aka, conservative republicans. Some people don't have much of a grasp on reality.

The reality is that General Hiram Ulysses Grant kicked the ass of the slave states all the way into the gulf of Mexico. And he was drunk the entire time! Give it up. You will never get the return of slavery.

Next up: Jesus will return. You have waited for over 2000 years now, when do you accept reality? If your prom date doesn't show up by 8, you probably should not wait 2000 years for him to be there.

Peter King holding hearing on Islam

2011-03-07T14:09:00.000-06:00

Peter King, racist.New York, is holding hearings on the radicalization of Muslims in America. The racist little fuck should be holding hearings on the radicalization of the republican party.

The GOP is owned and operated by a consortium of racists, bigots, religious fanatics and fascists. Since the teabaggers took control of congress, they have waged war on women, children and all laws that protect the health of Americans.

Of course the attack on Islam has nothing to do with any dangers faced by Americans. It has everything to do with republicans trying to fire up their base of retards who think that Obama is a muslim.

The sad thing is that this plan will work. It will work because the citizens of this country are under educated, under informed and just not that smart.

Enemies of America

2011-03-03T12:18:00.002-06:00

Have you noticed that the countries that we consider to be our enemies are the ones who do not play nice with Exxon?

In the mean time, Saudi Arabia, which supplied the men and funds for 911, along with funding a vast majority of terrorist attacks around the world, is our friend. Our government has a sick set of priorities.

I guess that is what you get when foreign policy is set by corporate interests.

You can be the most oppressive, murderous thug in the world, but if you are willing to allow US corporations to plunder your natural resources, you are our friend. On the other hand, no matter how much democracy you practice, if you prevent US corporations from raping your citizens, you are an enemy.

Remember how the tea baggers delighted in carrying their big bad guns to tea party rallies?

What do you think would happen if democrats bussed in a hundred heavily armed black guys to the next tea bagger convention? Just how funny would that be to see the terror on all of those white redneck faces?

Now do that at every republican political rally and the Whimpering Orange Boner would introduce gun control legislation before the month was done.

NEWS FLASH! - Newt Gingrich tries to fuck another staffer.

2011-02-26T10:58:00.002-06:00

Serial adulterer, Newt Gingrich, offered to pleasure a female staffer. The 25 year old, fighting hard to control her gag reflex, told Newty to just go fuck himself. She said, "you are fat, creepy and older than my grandpa. You need to stick with blowing Rush Limbaugh."

Gingrich called her a lesbian and stormed from his office. This is the first known instance of a GOP staffer refusing to fuck Newt. Gingrich was last seen boarding an Exxon jet that was headed toward Limbaugh's Florida home.

GOP scumbags want to defund EPA

Islam at its finest

2011-02-05T12:17:00.000-06:00

Bangladesh - A fourteen year old girl, Hena Begum, was raped by her 40 year old married cousin. After Hena reported the rape, the family of the rapist beat her up and accused her of adultery. In the insane world of Islam, the girl was found guilty. She was sentenced to receive 100 lashes and her father was fined. I guess it was her fault for not being raped by a single person. After the 80th lash, the little girl collapsed and died.

The rapist was not charged with a crime. The religious fuckwads that convicted her were not charged with a crime. The demon who beat her to death was not charged with a crime. The rapists family who beat her up were not charged with a crime.

All religious fanatics are inherently evil, but Islam seems to be trying to gain a monopoly on being crazy religious nut cases.

What is a republican?

2011-01-29T15:18:00.002-06:00

The republican party has a single main goal. That goal is the unwavering support for large corporations. Republicans want for large corporations to be exempt from taxation. They want these corporations to be exempt from prosecution and lawsuits for their misdeeds. And, most of all, they want giant corporations to have an endless supply of cheap labor.

In short, they want America to be a land made "of the corporation, for the corporation and by the corporation". Another, shorter, description is that want want America to be a fascist country.

The problem faced by the party is that there are just not enough Americans who want a fascist nation to get them elected. They need a large segment of the population to vote against their own best financial interest. They accomplished that by appealing to the fears of many folks. Using the politics of fear, they brought into the party racists, bigots, homophobes, religious fanatics, gun wackos, militia nut cases and libertarians. AKA, the party base.

It's interesting that the party base gets little more than lip service from the GOP. They didn't get an end to abortion. They didn't get prayer back into schools. They didn't get criminalization of being gay. They didn't get a return to segregation. Instead of being blamed for these failures, republican legislators got praise for feeble attempts.

The party base did get a crushing national debt, war after war, massive job losses, right wing judges that always rule in favor of the corporations, usurious credit card rates, home foreclosures, exorbitant energy prices, the export of their jobs to Asia and a standard of living that is no longer the envy of the world.

Yet, they still gleefully vote republican. The politics of fear are very effective. Especially when the opposition party is comprised of cowardly little democrats who refuse to call the GOP on their atrocities.

Why do conservatives hate brown people?

2011-01-27T22:29:00.001-06:00

Why do conservatives hate brown people? For the same reason that they hate people who speak different languages, go to different churches or have different politics. Hatred is usually a manifestation of fear and conservatives live in constant fear.

Conservatives are afraid of everything that they do not understand, and they don't understand much. It is no coincidence that the most racist and the most hateful people in this country are also the least educated. And they take pride in that ignorance. Conservatives, like Ronald Reagan, have always held intellectuals in very high disregard.

Conservatives love hate radio and Fox News because they learn nothing from those venues. They watch Fox and listen to Limbaugh because those are the places where they can find reinforcement for their preconceived notions. They will never have their ideas challenged by Beck, O'Reilly or Limbaugh.

Now you can understand why conservatives have so much love for guns. If you are afraid of everything, you may feel like the only thing that can keep you safe is an assault rifle.

GOP scumbags repeal health care

2011-01-24T11:13:00.000-06:00

If these little pieces of shit that call themselves republicans were serious about health care repeal, why didn't they also repeal their own fucking coverage?

You can't get any more socialized than congressional coverage which is paid for 100% by taxpayers. Fuck you GOP hypocritical scumbags. Cancel your own health care you assholes!

Republicans retarded?

2011-01-21T11:39:00.002-06:00

Why is it that republicans always seem to rally around unsophisticated, poorly educated, semi-retarded people?

Like:

Ronald Reagan

George W. Bush

Sarah Palin

Glen Beck

Dan Quayle

Too many other GOP senators and congressmen to list here.

It seems that anyone even approaching intellectual status, does not stand a chance of getting into the GOP leadership. This is not a teabagger thing because the republicans were rallying behind slow people long before the tea party came along. I can only assume that this support for semi-literates is an indication that the average republican wants a person down at their own level to represent them. I'm going to call it the Reagan effect.

Darrell Issa - Thief????

2011-01-18T14:13:00.000-06:00

Darrell Issa, new GOP chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has announced plans to investigate the Obama administration. In reality, Obama should have the justice department look into the background of Mr. Issa.

Issa owned a factory that burned to the ground. The fire marshal deemed the fire to be arson. Shortly before the fire, Issa increased his insurance coverage on the building. Oh yeah, he also removed his computer and all of his accounting records from the building just prior to the fire.

Issa has been questioned, along with his ex-con brother, in more than one auto theft. He was also investigated for another case of insurance fraud involving a stolen car that turned out to be not stolen.

Issa was arrested for illegally carrying a concealed weapon. He told police he needed it for protection. In later interviews he denied knowing it was even in the car. Issa claimed to be the recipient of an Entrepreneur of the year award. he lied. He was one of dozens of runner-ups. He also claimed to be a member of an elite bomb squad that swept a stadium prior to a Nixon visit. Except Nixon never visited that stadium.

A former employee says that Issa entered his office, pulled out a gun and laid it on the man's desk, then told him he was fired. How republican of him.

So we have someone who might be an arsonist, car thief, insurance fraudster, gun wacko and serial liar who is planning on looking into Obama misdeeds. Way to go GOP.

Ronald Reagan and his dementia

2011-01-15T10:08:00.005-06:00

Ronald Reagan Jr. tells us, in his recent book, that his dad was suffering from Alzheimer's while he was still president. Well, DUH! It was so obvious to anyone who wasn't one of Ronnie's sycophants.

It was difficult to notice when Reagan's dementia officially began because Reagan was stupid his entire life. The point where it became very obvious that he was incapacitated was when he returned to office after he was shot. From that time on, he could only answer questions that were included on his famous 3x5 cards.

It is not too difficult to imagine Reagan wandering around the White House, in his Depends, trying to find the oval office. Even while campaigning for his first term, he would often confuse movie scenes for events that actually happened. For some reason the press considered that to be charming and gave him a pass. Reagan wasn't Teflon, he was just championed by the corporate owned media.

The Reagan legacy was not created by this simple minded old fool, but by his handlers.

The real Reagan legacy:

He made the republican party a safe haven for his fellow racists and bigots.

He destroyed the unions and thus, the middle class.

He oversaw the greatest redistribution of wealth, in American history, from working folks to the richest 2%.

He ran up the largest amount of national debt in this country's history.

Ronald Reagan was a boil on the ass of America and was clearly the stupidest man ever elected president, until George Bush seized that title in 2000.

The republican economic model

2011-01-13T12:11:00.002-06:00

The GOP has an economic model for America. That model is Mexico. In Mexico you have the rich ruling class and then you have the peons to provide cheap labor. In America, the rich ruling class get many peons to vote against their own best interests by pandering to their fears of brown people, languages they do not speak, religions they do not understand and gun control.

High unemployment is a corporate wet dream. Corporations can slash wages and benefits while maximizing profits. Then they can hide those profits by laundering them through a Cayman Islands front corporation. In a society where elected representatives answer only the wealth of corporations, the needs of weak do not matter. The republicans could not have accomplished this massive destruction of the middle class without ample help from the democrats.

The destruction of the American middle class began with Ronald Reagan's systematic attacks on unions, followed up by Bill Clinton's support for free trade agreements. Unions disappearing from the labor market was accelerated by free trade which allowed manufacturing plants to be relocated to countries with no labor laws and no environmental legislation.

Now, everything you can buy is cheap Chinese crap that doesn't last and poisons you in the process.

Mussolini told us the name of corporate ruled government. Fascism. In 2009 Exxon paid no taxes. How is it that the largest, most profitable, corporation in the world paid no taxes? Fascism, that's how. Immediately after the GOP retook congress, gas prices began rising. Exxon knows that there will be no interference from republicans.

Palin draws target on Gabrielle Giffords

2011-01-08T23:03:00.002-06:00

During the campaign, Sarah Palin drew a target on Ms. Giffords. Other teabaggers called for a "2nd amendment solution". Now someone has put a bullet through her head. It seems that the official conservative stance is that nobody except their candidate can be the legitimate office holder. They also consider gunfire, threatening letters and campaign office vandalism to be an accepted form of protest. Does that remind you of al Qaeda? At least these right wing fuckwads aren't blowing themselves up, YET.

Cut health care for soldiers - Robert Gates

2011-01-08T14:01:00.000-06:00

Robert Gates, a republican piece of shit that Obama should have fired the day he took office, has said that a good way to reduce DOD costs is to reduce health care for soldiers. I repeat, Gates, Republican, Shit.

Repealing Health Care act would increase deficit.

2011-01-06T21:03:00.001-06:00

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that repealing the Health Care Act would add $230 billion to the deficit. In addition, it will leave 32 million people without any health care.

The report made the Orange Boner burst into tears, stomp his feet and hold his breath. In a rage, Glenn Beck beat up his 7 year old niece and Peter King ran over a Mexican in a crosswalk.

Crybaby Boehner

2011-01-05T18:26:00.005-06:00

What is wrong with this wimp? He cries more than a little 7 year old girl. The Orange Boner must have some sort emotional disorder that keeps him from being able to hold back the tears.

Perhaps we need to send him a teddy bear or whatever else fucked up his childhood. That other crybaby, Glen Beck, is another favorite of right wing dirt bags that cannot control his whimpering nature. WTF is up with that? It is just creepy.

Man up, you little pussies!

Chickenshit democrats cave

2010-12-16T23:35:00.002-06:00

Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the democrat cowards threw in the towel before round one was even over today. These worthless little bastards jumped right on the Bush era fascist bandwagon without even taking a jab at the republican pukes, who got everything that they wanted.

This is not an extension of the Bush tax cuts, it is the end of the middle class and it was engineered by none other than the man who promised us change we can believe in.

We are getting change alright. We are being pushed into an economic model Just like the one in Mexico. An abundance of cheap labor to help enrich the already very rich.

Obama - The One Term Democrat

2010-12-07T14:44:00.001-06:00

Barack Obama has presided over the complete downfall of the Democratic Party. Obama took office with a gigantic mandate to wash away the filth that was George Bush and the republicans. Instead of ordering investigations into Bush era crimes, Obama chose to concentrate on saving the banks. At no time has he shown the same empathy for the American middle class that was devastated by Bush economic policies. He even offered up the notion that once the banks were saved, they would begin making loans to small businesses, resulting in the restoration of jobs. Trickle down anyone?

Sure, some positive legislation has been passed, but without any leadership out of the president. I was a supporter of Obama during the campaign, but I had serious reservations about his total lack of meaningful legislative positions from his time in office. As it turned out, my misgivings were well founded. Out of all the terms one might use to describe Obama, "a strong leader" is not one of them.

Is Obama a coward, a lackey of the banks or is he just a weak man? The answer is probably all of the above. Obama is the consummate deal maker, always looking for a compromise. Trying to make deals with republicans is like deciding to make pets out of rattlesnakes. Time after time, Obama would make a deal with the GOP to weaken legislation, then the asswipes would vote against it anyway. In his first year, Obama had the means and the public backing to ram anything through congress. He did not. He proposed legislation, then left it up to the democrats and the lobbyists to craft it.

In the next inauguration, when you see President Sarah Palin being sworn in, you will realize that Obama has fucked you nearly as badly as the Bush crowd.

Barack Obama, change you can't believe in.

Republican birth canal?

2010-08-21T15:38:00.000-05:00

Stupid US policies that refuse to die

2010-08-07T11:12:00.002-05:00

Stupid US policies that refuse to die:

1. The war on drugs. This country learned nothing from prohibition. What happened when prohibition ended? All of the crime and violence associated with prohibition ended overnight.

Americans are just too stupid to realize the actual cost of the WOD. A country that balks at providing hot lunches for children, gleefully spends $100,000 a year to incarcerate a man for ten years for selling a couple of rocks of crack cocaine.

Most of the violent gangs are funded by drug sale profits. Between incarceration, interdiction, enforcement, violence and gang activity, the war on drugs is sucking untold amounts of money directly from your pockets.

It isn’t like all of the expense is getting results. Anyone who wants drugs can get them anytime they want. The War on Drugs is the largest national failure since this country was founded. Our elected officials know this, yet are to cowardly to take a stand in favor of legalization of drugs.

How is it any of your business what your neighbor chooses to consume? This is especially true in the case of marijuana, which is probably the least dangerous intoxicant in the history of mankind.

Israeli commandos butcher aid workers

2010-05-31T10:54:00.004-05:00

In their defense, an Israeli spokesperson claimed the aid workers were armed with "sharp objects". Well, that certainly justifies the storm troopers opening up with machine gun fire.

Is there anyone left who thinks that Netanyahu is not even more demonic than Dick Cheney?

Israel could not have done a better job of handing a huge PR win to Islamic terrorists. And, who is going to pay for this fuck up? American citizens, that's who. Israel is the biggest recipient of US tax payer largess. We have forked over 3 billion dollars a year to Israel since 1973. How can the world look at this massacre and not associate it with the United States?

It's time to cut Israel loose from the US apron string.

Update: The Israeli lapdog (aka United States) blocked a UN condemnation of Israel. Israel is holding their hostages incommunicado so the Israeli version of events cannot be contradicted. I'm sure they will be released after the furor has died down and all video shot by passengers has been destroyed.

Oil spill solution

2010-05-24T23:24:00.001-05:00

There is a rather easy solution to the BP oil spill. Actually spill sounds too innocent when what we are dealing with here is gross negligence on the part of BP.

Every single offshore rig that is operating in US waters should immediately be shut down. Oil companies should be put on notice that they will remain shut down until the BP disaster is brought under control and they provide the government with comprehensive plans to deal with every conceivable future disaster. Oil companies should also pay into a disaster control fund that will cover the cost of future fiascoes.

Forcing a nationwide shutdown would force the oil companies to combine their resources until this horrific plume of oil is brought under control.

All we need now is a president with balls.

Rand Paul - Looneytarian

2010-05-21T08:17:00.002-05:00

Rand Paul, republican senate candidate. is actually a libertarian, like his daddy. Some of the ideas of libertarians might sound good, but when you dig below the surface, you will find a cesspool.

Paul recently said he had real problems with the civil rights legislation of the 60s. WTF? Now you probably think that this view makes him your typical trailer trash southern racist. Perhaps he is, but it more likely reflects his idea that government should not have ANY control over private enterprise. This is a view that may sound good on paper but would be disastrous to the nation.

Mr. Paul also called Obama's criticism of BP, for their massive negligent oil spill, un-American. Here is a little bit of information for the stupid little fuckwad. BP is un-American. It is British Petroleum you fucking moron. And that is one of the major problems with Looneytarians, their idea of liberty does not include protecting citizens from the abuses of corporations.

In their zeal to be free of government regulation, these loons would set corporations loose on America. In a libertarian world, Union Carbide could put a plant just like the one that devastated Bhopal, right in your neighborhood and the government could do nothing. They would have the right to empty glowing liquids into that stream behind your house and the government could do nothing. Your children would start being born with flippers and the government could do nothing.

Fuck you Rand and fuck you Ron. You are morons.

Laura Bush gets away with murder?

2010-04-28T13:05:00.001-05:00

In her new book, Laura Bush refers to her fatal car wreck as a tragic accident.

The facts are this: Laura's high school boyfriend dumped her and began dating her best friend.. Two weeks later she runs a stop sign and t-bones his car at the drivers door, killing him. Now, isn't that just one hell of a coincidence? Imagine the odds of "accidentally" killing the boy who just dumped you for your best friend. Why, a cynic might even think that it could have been a viscous premeditated murder by an insane jilted girlfriend.

Just imagine what the republicans would have done with this story if this had happened to, say, Michelle Obama.

Racist Arizona republicans outlaw being brown

2010-04-27T23:31:00.002-05:00

Racists around the world are gathering to celebrate the new Arizona law which makes "not being white" probable cause to be rousted by the police.

Republican savages protect bankers

2010-04-27T22:28:00.000-05:00

That's right folks, republican scumbags are filibustering a law designed to protect the public from the criminal banksters that destroyed the economy of America.

Climate deal off - Lindsey Graham

2010-04-25T03:44:00.002-05:00

In return for Obama allowing offshore drilling, Lindsey Graham agreed to support Obama's climate change bill. The two faced little rat is claiming his back stabbing response is all Obama's fault because Obama was concentrating on immigration rather than climate change.

According to Graham, he was fucked by Obama. In a statement, Graham said, "I did not enjoy it because I'm not like that, really, I'm not. I just hate it when a big strong handsome man bends me over. Really! I'm as straight as they come. Really! You know, except for experimenting in college, but everybody does that. Don't they? I mean, whoever heard of a gay republican. We don't allow them. Really! I couldn't possibly be gay because I am a republican. See? Really! Besides, I only have four cats. I'm a manly man. I drive a sportscar for christ's sake. see, that Miata out there? That's mine! Case Closed."

National Day of Prayer - unconstitutional

2010-04-21T16:28:00.000-05:00

If congress wishes to preserve this day, they should just rename it to the National Day of Begging. Same thing.

Netanyahu - Israeli War Monger

2010-04-19T08:41:00.000-05:00

Netanyahu is what you would get if you gave massive doses of steroids to Dick Cheney, until he became even more hateful and mean. That's right, compared to Netanyahu, Cheney is a pussy. Israel's government is being run by folks that would give Liz Cheney a boner.

So, who is worse, the Israeli terroristic leader or the scumbag Arabs who threaten Israel? It seems to be a case of pure evil vs pure evil. Who do you root for in such a case? Both sides wish to destroy the other and neither is serious about living in peace. What is it about the Middle East that brews such hatred and venom? That is an easy answer. It is religion. They live a life based on revenge for the past rather than a vision for the future.

Remember, just a few hundred years ago, Christians were massacring anyone who dared to have another opinion about their loving god. We fondly refer to Christian domination of the world as "The Dark Ages." The Islamic fucks are just now arriving at the point where Christians were 800 years ago.

All three of the major Western religions were invented by a bunch of ignorant fucking Middle Eastern goat herders and they have been killing one another since.

Perhaps in another 800 years, the followers of Islam will arrive at the 19th century, Israel will have purged itself of the likes of Netanyahu and priests will stop fucking little boys. We can only hope.

Confederate History Month

2010-04-10T11:31:00.001-05:00

Don't these retarded redneck motherfuckers realize that Confederate History Month is no different than having a month to celebrate Nazi History Month?

The GOP has devolved into the Racist Dumbfucker Party.
