To the Polish government in London the British appeared singularly ungenerous towards their Allies. American politicians did not inform the Poles that they were putting pressure on the British not to enter into excessively binding agreements with the emigre governments. The Poles were allowed to assume that America was Poland's friend and supporters, whereas Britain was not. ~ Britain and Poland 1939-1943: The Betrayed Ally, Anita Prazmowska pg. 88-89.
As an American (of primarily Polish descent) I know something about the History of Nazism and Communism. Glenn Beck knows nothing of either. Or more correctly Glenn Beck knows nothing.
The Punk Ass Bitch Right's goal has always been to make their zombie-esque followers believe the Democrats are the Nazis and Soviets. They say it often enough. Not a bad plan when you realize the majority of the Americans who fervently listen to She Who Shall Not Be Named 1 and 2, Racist Limbaugh, Beck, Breitbart and Puffy Goldberg have never left home, have never served in the military, know nothing of real poverty and suffering and view liberals as more dangerous than terrorists because they were told so.
But, as most Americans don't know, Poland was left to it's own devices after the First World War and still defeated the Soviets, (The Miracle of the Vistula) when no government thought they had a chance against the Bolshevik tide.
During the Cold War Poland was never able to count on American help because McCarthy/Reagan rhetoric lumped them into the sphere of the Evil Empire. So, every American of Polish Descent knows America let the Poles languish during the entire Cold War. And of course, a drunk drug addict like Beck never shouldered a ruck during the Reagan years (Beck turned 18 in 1982) when war with the Soviet Union was an exceedingly slim but potential possibility.
But, now, from the safety of 20 years since the End of the USSR and a comfy producer's chair Beck is apoplectic on Communism. Real tough guy. But, dumb easily led Punk Ass Bitch conservatives like to believe they were responsible for the Destruction of the USSR by watching Red Dawn and Rambo III.
And so Liberals and Progressives will continue to be bombarded by inane buffoons declaring Nazis are Left because Socialist is in their "official" name, just like the Chicago Bears are actual Grizzlies because they have Bears in their team name.
Angel of Death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Sadistic, surgeon of demise Sadist of the noblest blood ~ Angel of Death, SLAYER
The Republican Party and it's frenzied supporters, the 9/12ers, Birtherites, Teabaggers, Get-a-Job Shouters, have seemingly ingested the novel and film The Boys from Brazil and thus have been transformed into an unrecognizable conglomeration of madmen who scream and yell, talk real tough and make hysterical demonstrations of anger but despite their convictions that President Obama is Islamo-Hitler they lack courage and are thus nothing but Punk Ass Bitches.
Enter the Taitz, The Girl from Georgia (USSR)*. Orly Taitz has convinced the Republican Party that Obama is one of titular characters in the novel and film, a genetic clone of Adolf Hitler.
Watch the battle scene between two greats, Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier, and Peck's prophetic revelation of Obama's true heritage as the Islamo-Hitler of the 2000s.
But, now watch as Punk Ass Bitch Republican Jean Schmidt tells an angry Birthrite accuser she agrees with her and not with the American courts.
But, while the Party of Ronald Reagan has embraced and championed Taitz, a child of the evil empire; a Soviet Citizen like Orly Taitz would never be taken seriously unless there was a constant stream of invective being leveled against the President. A ceaseless river of false witness which has flowed from the mouths of Fox News. Whether it be one of the Isms; fascism, communism, socialism, marxism or Obama's desire to destroy America or kowtowing to every foreign dictator; no lie is too unbelievable, no slander too ridiculous, no charge too outlandish for Fox News.
So, enamored and beguiled by a godless Communist Soviet Agent, the Punk Ass Bitch Republicans and their brain washed Self-Appointed Chicken Hawk He-Man America Defenders have allowed themselves to made fools of as Taitz paraded ridiculous Kenyan Birth Certificate forgeries and outlandish lawsuits which when tossed out by American judges merely serve to strengthen their resolve and inflame their fanaticism.
*- Orly Taitz is actually from the Moldavian SSR, the other side of the Black Sea but I needed the Georgian SSR for the alliteration.
Update: Ha ha ha the NBC series Night Court had a premonition about Orly Taitz in the episode The Game Show from 1989. Dan Fielding summed up Orly succinctly 20 years ago, “Well, I have pieced it together, and it seems I was kidnapped and drugged by… Soviet agents."
And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor ~ Guns N' Roses, Civil War
The Republican Party talks a big game about being the Moral, America Defending Free Market Capitalists but it's a huge put on to win votes. Republicans are Immoral, Chicken Hawk, Big Government, Corporate Socialists... Republicans have embraced everything they say they are against.
And many Americans continue to vote for and support the Republican Party who have whipped them into a state of uncivil discourse and use their displaced rage. Of course, some of those people call themselves Conservatives or Anarcho-Libertarian Free Staters but if you voted for Bush and Cheney and consistently tell yourself 'I have to vote for the Republican to cancel out that Loony Left Coast Liberals America Hating Vote' then you are a Republican.
The Republican Party doesn't care why you vote for them just as long as you do. In order to win your vote, they will lie about any and everything. They will claim superior morality, fervent religiosity, hyper patriotism, and Big Brass War Gonads. They claim to have all those attributes even when it's been shown they lack them.
The Republicans claimed to be the Super-Patriots who won World War III over the Soviet Union under President Reagan. So, let us suppose a person born in the Soviet Union denounced Ronald Reagan as a "massive fraud" unfit for command and then declared any who disagreed with that assessment to be Traitors. A Soviet! A Commie, A foot soldier of Nikita Kruschev denouncing the President and what does the Republican Party do? It's as if Republican Jean Schmidt is in bed with Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev in their criticism of an American President as Schmidt secretly whispers in the ears of her rabid supporters she agrees with Commies and is against the President of the United States. Jean Schmidt and the Republican Party are Commie Lovers!
The Republicans have enshrined a Soviet, Orly Taitz, as the Speaker of the Holy Word! A Soviet! The Republicans the Party of Ronald Reagan, Defeater of the Evil Empire are now in league with a Soviet woman who was formally rebuked and chastised by an American Judge.
The Strongest Pro War Proponents in the Republican Party are without a doubt the ones who had no intention of serving in the military themselves. When it came to fighting overseas and the prospect of strapping on, being shipped overseas and putting rounds down range Chicken Hawk Republicans have time after time shown they would rather not "Defend America" and let someone else fight.
Republican criminal Tom DeLay complained 'ethnic minorities had already filled all the slots' when he tried to enlist for Vietnam. Dick Cheney received 6 deferments from service during Vietnam, he had other priorities. Dick Cheney who gave interviews in 1994, when Bill Clinton was President, saying a long occupation of Baghdad and Iraq was a bad idea and not worth the casualties then belittled the Democrats for not defending America from Iraq during the 1990's. (Watch the video below).
The Republican Party is the Party of Superior Morality. Just ask any Republican. High Ranking members of the moral Republican Party denounced and Impeached Bill Clinton a Democrat. While the impeachment of Bill Clinton was occurring Leading Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was busy leaving his dying MS stricken wife for a new woman, who would become his third wife. This wasn't a new move by Gingrich who became an adulterer back in the 1970's and continued his entire time in Washington DC.
First term Republican Senator David Vitter, fresh from the backwaters of Louisiana, apparently brought too much country gentry with him when he entered the swamp of Washington DC because as soon as he got to the big city he began frequenting the type of "fast" women I'm sure his mother warned him about and his Campaign manager assured his deluded voters he was staunchly against.
The rabid infidelity of the Republican Party could then possibly be attributed to the morass of loose women available in Washington DC but...
On Father's Day Republican Governor Mark Sanford hiked the AT (Appalachian Trail)... in Argentina with a tan lined beauty. Of course, the AT isn't in Argentina and the beauty wasn't the mother of his children or his wife.
Disgusting Republican Mark Foley hit on underage pages. That is Male underage pages.
Republican Senator Larry Craig propositioned a male Police Officer in a bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Bush and The Republican Party voted to expand Medicare, a purely Socialist Enterprise, while they controlled the Presidency and the Congress. Now that Obama is seeking to Reform Helath Care they are waving the Bloody Red shirt of Socialism in front of their enraged supporters. But, don't expect the Republicans in Government to decline their Socialized Health Care, the access to is the only reason Dick Cheney is still alive, because if he did not have Socialized Medicine Dick Cheney would be dead, after having been denied all Health Care coverage for having a pre-existing heart condition. Of course, Republicans wouldn't dare vote against Medicare because then the old people who have been duped their entire lives into supporting the evil Republican Party would see the party cares more for profit than people.
The Free Market is the Great Equalizer say the Republicans. Without US Government interference the prices for everything in the US would be lower. Now this is a tricky one for me because I am for protecting American Companies from overseas ones but what the Republican Party is fighting to do, using the power of Government, is to protect the profits of those companies. The Republican Party fights against the individuals who actually work for these companies. This is why the Republicans will fight to keep drugs from American Companies the only legal ones, they charge higher prices than in Canada for the chemically same drug. This is why the Republican Party fought against the American Auto Workers and for the Foreign owned Auto Companies in Alabama, the workers are not allowed to unionize. The Republicans even support Foreign Companies over American workers.
Keeping Americans wages down is a by product of the number overarching one goal of the Republican Party supporting Corporate profits over people. This is why the Republican Party supports companies like Wal*Mart in shipping manufacturing jobs overseas where labor prices and practices are still inhumane. Republicans love it when people are worked to death for Corporate Profits.
This is why they ignored the southern border and allowed millions of illegal immigrants to stream into the US from Mexico and Central America. Those illegal immigrants can't vote against the Republicans but they sure can undercut wages for American workers and steal American jobs. When was the last time you saw a non-Hispanic working for a Lawn Maintenance Company?
So, the Republicans know all they have to do is tell you they hate Socialism, love morality and will protect America and you'll vote for them, even when they openly work against everything they claim the support...
Update: Do I need to add in the section on Republican Party claims of Fiscal Responsibilty and Bush and Republican Spending Sprees? The $5 Trillion USC for War, the Bank Bailout, the 2007-2008 Crash which destroyed the last 10-15 years worth of Wealth gained by the American people?
Shadwell hated all southerners and, by inference, was standing at the North Pole. ~ Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens
As a continuation of the Henry Louis Gates thread I'll expound on Race. I don't know Professor Gates, it's possible he's a racist (by which I mean he hates people because they are white or projects his general bad feelings about whites onto specific white people), it may even be probable.
To me the whole concept of Race is a bullshit construct. Historically, it was used as a way to divide poor blacks and poor whites. The poor white share cropper could always hold in his heart the "at least I'm white canard" and allow himself to be duped into believing he and the rich white man were the same despite his malnutrition, bowed back, calloused hands and short life expectancy.
But, our current ideas on Race have been built upon the edifice of the incorrect scientific thinking of the 19th century. This is not to damn the creators of the ideas of race but to point out that as Scientific thinking has evolved and explored new and unforeseen areas while also self-correcting yet there still exist charlatans and demagogues (Jesse Jackson and R. Limbaugh) as in the past who will ignore this and use the 19th century constructs to sunder humanity, usually for political or economic gain.
Humanity is not divided into the distinct Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid classifications, but those divisions still underpin the thinking of many people. Archeology, Genetic Mapping and DNA have shown that all Mankind (to use the outmoded term) can be traced back to the Mitochondrial Eve of roughly 180,000 years ago. And even if you hold to the idea that man emerged and continued evolving several times from Africa as opposed to the currently more accepted theory that the modern strain of man came, almost exclusively, from the last emigration, all humanity are the same species, with minor, mostly superficial, differences. The Human Journey began in Africa, original home to us all.
But it is the doom of man that he must accentuate the differences between himself and his brothers.
In addition to the flawed thinking and perhaps superseding it, we also have the societal constraints on who you are and can be. People have the awful habit of projecting their notions of who you are based on what they see and we are slow too change our minds.
You are (or are supposed to be) what they say you are. You are black, you are white, you are asian, you are hispanic, and so forth. And being so you are also the preconceived notions they feel apply to a person of that persuasion. This leads to the chastising terms like Whigger, Uncle Tom, Oreo when someone steps outside of the viewers' prejudice and does not behave in the way they expect and want you to behave. Don't step outside of the box I have mentally assigned you.
So, I am not the "white cop" who yelled at you, wrote you the speeding ticket and busted you for smoking pot at 16. You don't know my mind and I know you don't care what I think anyway.
I will note a very annoying thing Obama did when he was an Illinois Senator was mandate the completion of "Stop Sheets" by Police Officers. To be completed after all traffic stops for a continuing study on racial profiling by Northwestern. It's not the addition paperwork, but the 5 categories the Officer gets to choose from concerning the race of the driver. The categories are: African/American, Caucasian, Hispanic, Native American/Alaskan and Asian/Pacific Islander. There's no category for Arab or Middle Eastern or Indian. It forces Officers to think in the outmoded method!
Well, now we have the black-ish Obama as President. And old, fat, puffy faced, flabby assed, bigoted toxic white men don't like this, so they project unto him the feelings they themselves possess. They want Obama to hold to the racist views. They want him to be a disciple of Jeremiah Wright because if Obama thinks like Wright then it affords them the cover to vent their racism at Obama.
And woe be anyone who deviates from their bigoted thinking, as Joan Walsh did, becomes the target of outright bigots R. Limbaugh (who labeled Walsh the "Magic Honky" for not hating black folk like Limbaugh) and the Free Speak (sic) police at racist FreeRepublic and Moonbattery who label Walsh and others; race traitors and self-hating whiteys.
Would you contest a speeding ticket from an Officer with chops this magnificent?
Is it reasonable to believe a paper document has survived for 45 years in the nation of Kenya, often beset by military coups, droughts and famines, and the presence of the completely failed state of Somalia on it's northern border? Yet this document survived, in good condition and was conveniently discovered by Orly Tatiz? That's a reasonable belief?
But, speaking of which, it's interesting to note Taitz is a Soviet Communist, perhaps an unrepentant one at that, seeking to bring down America from within, using a "typical" communist ploy? And how did the Obama-ACORN-Islamo-Black Panther Brownshirts fail to destroy so damning a document? The Right likes to ascribe to the Obambots vast powers of intimidation, computer hacking and conspiracy but the Obama Thugs just happened to miss the one sure fire document which would interfere with all their work subverting and socializing America?
