America's Right-Wing Coup: McJobs for All, Food for None, Tax Cuts for the Rich and Austerity forever

A Coup consists of the infiltration of a small but critical segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder. - Edward Luttwak, Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook

Republicans and their duped Conservative drones are pushing this Nation into a Land which resembles the Feudal Domains of Dark Ages Europe. 400 Americans own more wealth than the over 150,000,000 other Americans.

The Rich did not see the Progressive Victories of last 100 years as permanent and immutable. The Ultra-Reactionary Neo-Liberal Class Warfare the Rich have been waging upon Americans for the last 35 years has been incredibly successful. The 1% have returned America to levels of Income Inequality not seen since the Glided Age of Robber Barons and the Slave Plantations of The Founding Fathers.

A new Massive redistribution of wealth up to the Rentier Class began on November 1st, with the first of $50 Billion in cuts to Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP).

"It took us years to get here but we are here," House Agriculture Committee Chairman Republican Frank Lucas.

It did indeed. Republicans have been demonizing and ostracizing the Poor for decades. The Founding Fathers knew that a Nation built upon the disparity of wealth the Republican Party and the Pro-Business Democrats have created was untenable. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, 4th President of the United States, warned future Americans about Class Warfare, 

"The most common and durable source of faction has been the various and unequal distribution of property..." And,

"We are free today substantially but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few."

Now, Herman Cain succinctly declared the Republicans' simpler understanding of the economy,

"If you're poor... Blame yourself!" 

The cuts to SNAP aren't happening in a vacuum or as part of hypothetical economic model. They are being done while each and every Government program which aids the poor and working class is likewise under assault funded by a few hundred Americans and their Corporate Zombies. Meanwhile, 300 or so Republican apparatchiks have seized vital organs of Government and are using that power to overthrow the Democratic Republic.

And it's succeeding...

Daily, Americans are bombarded by the Right-Wing propaganda machine, AHIP saboteurs, and Republican plotters attempting to undermine the ACA (Obamacare) with their simplistic narrative, 'Obama lied!' so that they true goal of eliminating the Social Safety Net.

Unlike most, Coup attempts the Plutocracy already controls most of the Government, it's just every now and then, those dastardly poor and working class people don't readily vote themselves into Corporate Bondage and Wage Slavery. 

Thus, Obamacare has become the Hill on which the Plutocracy is willing to sacrifice their Republican attack dogs upon because the Rich absolutely loathe the idea of working class people having a bit of breathing room and not living in fear of being bankrupted by a health care crisis.

"One of the problems so far is that many more people are signing up for Medicaid than are signing up to the private insurance plans in the market place" - Chris Wallace, Faux News 

Faux News contributor, Dr. Marc Siegel said in an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show that “there is too much health insurance, it covers too much. Too many people have it."

And Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell complained the Poor people in Kentucky whom he's personally tried to keep down and indigent are getting the benefits of Obamacare, 

"Well, 85 percent of the people who've signed up in Kentucky have signed up for Medicaid. That's free health care. The rollout is quite mixed -- quite mixed -- and largely people signing up for Medicaid. Free health care."

Unlike, Senator McConnell, who "works hard" for his Government provided health care.

Like, the "Banana Republics" fostered by The United Fruit Company or the Anglo-Persian Oil (now known as BP) dealings in Persia, Corporate Monstrosities use money and influence to purchase a Government which conforms to the whims and desires of a small cadre of Wealthy Elites and enforce a Corporate Hegemony which oversees the ruthless implementation of Austerity politics; the raiding of municipal pensions, elimination of food programs for poor children, the destruction of health care for wounded veterans and the blatant theft of the last bits of wealth held by the elderly.

"We live in a society where politics is controlled by money; wealthy individuals and big businesses," Jeffrey Hollender — the founder of the natural products company Seventh Generation.

The 1% of the 1% truly have a vision of a smaller US Government, one small enough to fit in their pocket.

Remember the Economic Reform we need is Tax Reform and the Sadism of Capitalists

"How much more money do we want to steal from the American people to fund more government? I'm for no more." Speaker of the House John Boehner, tells America that the "People's House" will impose taxes on Real People which they'll give to Corporate "Persons".

 Capitalism is more correctly understood as Neo-Feudalism. Great Houses and Barons have morphed into Corporations and CEOs. And for Neo-Feudalism to flourish there needs to be a vast majority of workers for whom there is no future other than toil and labor and who'll give birth to the next generation of labor.

The Economic Reform we need is Tax Reform. 1 in 4 Corporations pays no Income Taxes. Companies involved in the Military-Industrial-Complex fraudulently overcharge the military Hundreds of Billions of dollars, Oil Companies receive government subsidies and transfer the clean-up costs on their disasterous oil spills onto the American taxpayers.

Procter & Gamble, the Cincinnati-based company behind Pampers diapers and Tide detergent, reported a federal tax burden in 1969 that was 40 percent of its total profits, a typical rate in those days. More than four decades later, P&G is a very different company, with operations that span the globe. It also reports paying a very different portion of its profits in federal taxes: 15 percent.

Apple is the current in the spotlight for their Tax Dodging schemes. Apple in 1980 created a shell company in Ireland, "Waldwill Limited". Now, Apple doesn't make anything in Ireland these days, it's Cork Office is in charge of European distrubtion and product support. But, it is a handy dandy country to funnel the $30,000,000,000 USC in profits in order to pay $0 US Income Taxes.

Proctor and Gamble and Apple aren't the only ones. Most of the 30 companies listed on the country’s most famous stock index, the Dow Jones industrial average, have seen a dramatically smaller percentage of their profits go to U.S. coffers over time, even as their share prices have driven the Dow to an all-time high.

That is what is going on here. Corporations and Rich Thieves have made the US Tax Laws a Byzantine Mess of contradictions and loopholes which they know how to navigate in order to steal Trillions and hide their filthy lucre in off-shore accounts, just waiting to be repatriated tax free when the properly bought politican makes it possible.

But, while these Rich Thieves engage in artful dodging of tax laws and self-congratulatory back slaps for their "Capitalist Ingenuity" there is a strain of Sadism in methods. Because Taxes are what the Poor pay because if the Poor where blessed and virtuous they'd pay No Taxes.

An article by the noted Austerity Sadist Michael Kinsley illuminates how Austerity isn't about Deficit Reduction but an ardent and fervent desire to punish the Wicked Poor as a happy by-product of enforcing a noble Neo-Feudalist State.

Austerity is designed to Cut Government Spending not the Deficit. Because that Government spending goes to The Wicked (i.e. the Poor) it is not right that the Rich Man who is synonymous with Righteousness suffer.

And there can be no Greater Good than Lower Taxes as a reward to the Noble and Virtuous.

But, if the problem where merely one of Effective Tax Rates, simply highlighting the Massive Income Inequality that exists in America would show how the Goal of the Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics and Bush Tax Cuts were designed and implemented for no other reason than to create a society in which the Richest One Percent live better than the Pharoahs of Ancient Egypt.

The Plutocracy gets a Sadistic thrill when Americans vote away their birthrights. The Koch Brothers Propaganda Machine Americans For Prosperity released an email when the Sequester went into effect lauding Speaker Boehner and the House Republicans, 

[T]oday Americans for Prosperity thanks Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans for standing up to President Obama and making sure the $85 billion in much-needed sequester spending cuts took effect. 

As an example, I was out at a leadership event in Portland, Oregon this week where Beth, one of our dedicated Americans For Prosperity activists, told me how she had sent personal messages to each of her 243 Facebook friends asking them to contact their member of Congress to tell him to"keep the cuts" so we can "get our economy moving again." 

The Koch Brothers, Banksters, Tax Dodging CEO's and Sadistic Economists aren't interested in the US EConomy but in transferring as much money upwards as possible and creating a GovernmentApparatus  which will enforce and perpetuate their Noble Neo-Feudalist Utopia.

Hey it's Saturday where's my mail? The Republican Plan to eliminate the USPS

Thank You for all those Cards and Letters - Wun'erful, Wun'erful! The Lemon Sisters, Stan Freberg Comedy Show

The Republican Plan to eliminate the Post Office is proceeding very nicely. The US Postal Service declared they will be stopping mail delivery on Saturdays.

Now, Republicans do want to have a USPS but it would be a rump left to handle the unprofitable deliveries in Outer Wyoming and the Nevada Nuclear Waste Sites.

Incredibly lucrative mail routes, in Manhattan or along the Magnificent Mile in Downtown Chicago will be just handed over to UPS, FedEx, DHL and other private services. And as is their wont, those Corporations will slowly and surely turn the screws, raise prices and add delivery fees for letters which used to cost a stamp.

Gone will be the days when you could mail a post card from the Big Island to Chicago unless, you're willing to pay $20 USC for the privilege of having your mail carried by FedEx.

Privatize, Deregulate and Cede control to Corporations.

Of course, the Republicans plan is to destroy the Postal Workers Union because of the Unions strength and the solid Middle Class opportunities provided by a job with the USPS. 

Republicans loathe the Middle Class. A Middle Class is a hamper to their political power and proves to fickle for the Plutocracy to control. Republican political maneuvers are directed by their Plutocratic Masters to end the American Dream and bring about a Neo-Feudalist Dream State. As John Nichols of The Nation points out Postal cuts are Austerity on Steroids.

What the Plutocracy wants is a pliant work force with no disposable income. And they aren't disguising their actions, otherwise they wouldn't have run one of the scions, Le Dauphin of Bain Capital W. Mitt Romney for President in 2012.

It's a multi-pronged effort to steal away capital from the Middle and Working Classes. Every Republican tax scheme ends up increasing taxes on the Middle and Working Classes (while decreasing them on the Rich) and slashing government benefits for the American people.

And now by steadily eroding the Post Office (and it's Jobs) and sending that work to cutthroat Capitalists who'll pay less, disband Unions and raise prices the Republicans will cede more and more of your life to Corporate Hegemony.

It's all part of the plan to tie up your meager income so that at the end of the year, you've gained Nothing and are treading water, forever doomed to an endless life of labor, while the Upper 1% see their wealth spiral exponentially higher and higher.

Update:

A working mom could work overtime this month and use it as time off next month without having to worry about whether she’ll be able to take home enough money to pay the rent. 

- Republican Eric Cantor explains to the American Enterprise Institute on 02/05/13 how to get Working Class people to vote for their subjugation to the Republican Neo-Feudalist state. Additionally, there's a nice undercurrent of "the Nightmare" of the last couple of years that President Obama and his *cough* black *cough* Thugs have just ruined America!

Rich Myopic A$$holes gonna be Rich Myopic A$$holes

"You’ll get more out of me,” the billionaire Leon Cooperman said, “if you treat me with respect.”

From the No Kidding Files,

According to researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, people in lower socio-economic classes are more physiologically attuned to the suffering of others than their middle- and upper-class counterparts.

Yeah, it's not hard to understand this, Rich People don't give a shit. They don't give a shit if you die from lack of healthcare coverage. They don't care if you get killed overseas fighting to expand emerging markets for them to exploit. They don't give a shit about the number of Americans living in so-called poverty. They don't care if your job is outsourced or an illegal immigrant comes over to do it for 1/10th the cost. They don't care if you die in a Mine Accident or Oil Rig Explosion. They don't care about your suffering. All they care about is stealing more for themselves.


Ask any historian, even one as evil and corrupt as Newt Gingrich about the Rich and Poor and you will see that the entire canon of recorded history is one of those who have wealth setting up elaborate systems of thought to justify their position, their oft-times illegally, unethically, or immorally gained riches. "What they [the Poor] lack is the richness of spirit." - Stuart Varney, Faux News.

Why do you think "I Get It" was the phrase Frank Luntz emphasized as most important to the assembled collection of out-of-touch, effete snobs he coached at the Republican Governor Association meeting earlier this month in Florida?

"Gordon Gecko" of Wall Street and "Patrick Bateman" of American Psycho weren't aberrations to these bastards, they were role models and guides.

Wall Street is fixated on stealing as much money as possible from where ever possible and making their thefts legal and protected by the biggest baddest thugs (The Republicons) they can find;

"Whether it’s the EPA, the FDA, the FCC, the SEC, the CFTC, you name it, there is an acronym for a federal agency causing harm right now. We’re trying to pull that in." - Eric Cantor, Republicon Hit Man for the Plutocracy and Defender of the Transfer of Wealth.

Do you think the 1% give a shit about your job?

"Rich businesspeople like me don’t create jobs,” Nick Hanauer, co-founder of aQuantive Inc.

To the Plutocrats 'Job creation' is an unfortunate by-product of Wall Street Thievery. If the 1% could find a way to make money... Oh Wait! That is what the entire Bush Presidency was! A time where the 1% increased their share of wealth, when 2 out of every 3 dollars of income growth went to the Elites, squeezed as much loot as possible out of a rigged "Capitalist" system and then got the Bush Government and Federal Reserve to give them over $8,500,000,000,000 dollars to cover their losses.

Rewording the Republican Class War on the American People

"Some would say that it's the Unions that have crippled the U.S. economy and led to the United States' debt..." - Gretchen Carlson, Faux News

Some would say it's time to declare War on Conservatives...

It is clear the Republicon Party has no interest in aiding the 99%. The Republicon Party serves two main constituents, themselves and the Richest 1% of the Nation. And to realize that goal they will do whatever it takes.

A conservative Think Tank, in this case the Heritage Foundation, puts forward a story that Poor People in America aren't really poor and viola, every conservative site re-posts the "findings" and now it's a fact that poor people are not poor and if you are it's your fault. Or as Newt Gingrich puts it;

“Really poor children, in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works so they have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day, they have no habit of I do this and you give me cash unless it is illegal.”

Not only is it your fault but you're probably a criminal anyway...

Scott Walker, the Republican Guard for the Koch Brothers, pushed through his anti-worker legislation and Wisconsinites rose up and demanded it not be adopted. Walker pushed through the 1% agenda anyway despite the protests. Now, having been denied their voice, Wisconsin has decided to recall him, so Walker has decided he doesn't care for the Bill of Rights either. Scott Walker has created policy that whenever a group of 4 or more people gather on the Capitol grounds they need to put in for a permit 72 hours in advance and pay in advance the cost for police presence (minimum $50/ hour) plus the clean-up costs afterwards. Free Speech isn't Free after all...

The Republicon Party is better called the Republican Guard because their job is to Guard the 1%. And the Republican Guard and their conservative henchmen will stop at nothing to harm America and defend their Moneyed Masters.

Rightwing shills are paid millions to flood the radio and cable channels with streams of bullshit to continue the Plutocracy's control. Mark Levin has nothing consturctive to offer and merely claims Harry Reid or Frank Lautenberg or whatever Democrat he wishes to attack is "suffering from dementia". And no it's not Medical Doctor Mark Levin or trained Pyschologist Mark Levin. Mark Levin is a a lawyer and like all the chicken shit conservatives infesting the US these days, after becoming a lawyer, Levin is a chicken hawk who went to work for the Reagan Presidency and has never held a real job.

But, while toxic conservative garbage like Mark Levin lay out the Right's anti-Democratic Party mantra it is up to the Frank Luntz to place the proper Orwellian Language into the mouths of Republicons to continue to fool conservative voters into supporting a political party of scoundrels, cheats, criminals and elitists wholly owned by the Richest 1% of this Nation

Frank Luntz admitted he is

“so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I’m frightened to death. They’re having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism.”

So, Luntz gets out and creates his Orwellian rewordings of the Republicon Guards policies. The 1% solution for the Middle Class; To Destroy the Middle Class and reduce the 99% to Servitude, Penury and Wage Slavery.

Frank Luntz advised them to move away from "capitalism" and say "Economic Freedom"! See, when you talk about trickle down economics don't say Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining say Rain Economic Freedom on the Middle Class.

But, don't say "Middle Class" call them "hardworking taxpayers."

“We can say we defend the ‘middle class’ and the public will say, I’m not sure about that. But defending ‘hardworking taxpayers’ and Republicans have the advantage.”

It's clear to Luntz that the American People know the Republicon Guard cares only for the 1%.

The 1%, the Establishment has always hated a thriving Middle Class because it upsets their power dynamics. For the first 100 to 150 years of the Nation's exsistence, the Plutocracy ruled and the wealth of the Nation flowed upwards into their hands. Now, thanks to help of their Republicon Guard the 1% have stolen so much and created the such an economic disaster for so many people that for the first time in decades We, the People have said enough. #Occupy and OWS have shifted the attention onto those who have engineered this Economic Inequality and Recession and the 1% don't like it.

Will enough lies, slander, smears, doublespeak and rewording of the on-going Classacre derail us?

The 1% Solution applied to OWS

"From here you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance, and the end of your insignificant rebellion."

Early in the morning, Mayor Bloomberg ordered the NYPD to conduct a sweep-and-clear paramilitary style raid on Zuccotti Park. The 1% have allowed this little rebellion to go on long enough. The Plutocracy would prefer if you just sat back and accepted your enslavement and Classacre (Class Massacre) and stayed silent.

As with all Iron Fisted Tyrants, Bloomberg, the handmadien of the 1%, cited the health and well-being of the protesters for the necessity of the violent crackdown. And the removal was conducted in the early am, after the Brooklyn Bridge has been shut down till 0600 hours, and with media persons being specifically moved to an area away from were the beatings, pepper-spray, tear gas, mass arrests, destruction of private property and use of bulldozers to roust OWS occurred.This isn't the first #Occupy to be removed with in the early morning with the use of heavy machinery and paramilitary action.

Here is the Right's reaction:

Over at Michelle Malkin's site it's constant calls for more police violence against the Protesters. I'm surprised they haven't called for water boarding the protesters to determine who is leading them, although there have been calls for high pressure water cannons to be used so there's that...

At HotAir this post from the odious "Captain" Ed Morrisey highlights the entire intentional disconnect,

If the Occupiers have an actual and legitimate agenda, why can’t they demonstrate within the law to make their point?

Ah, within the law. That's the whole point, the 1% and their Rightwing Attack Dogs have been working and shaping and refining a political system which has wrested power and money from the 99% and has made it legal for them to do so. It's the Free Speech Zones all over again. But, conservatives, ala "Captain" Ed, don't actually believe in Democracy, they are and always have been authoritarians and little more than mouthpieces for the Plutocracy.

Of course, a move like this has caused a lot of internet traffic and chatter. The best rundown comes from Mother Jones reporter Josh Harkinson's firsthand account. But, interesting blog, facebook, twitter traffic aside the most important news came when Oakland Mayor Jean Quan apparently admitted the 11/15 Raids were coordinated,

“I was recently on a conference call with 18 cities across the country who had the same situation,"

with Authorities in other cities and possibly the Department of Homeland Security and that before the day was done there were already two injunctions issued by Judges.

The first one was a restraining order allowing the Protesters to return and stopping Bloomberg and the NYPD from interfering at all with OWS.

However, the second one was not so beneficial to #Occupy. tT also shows the level of duplicitious chicanery the 1% are always willing to stoop too, to stop the 99%. It stops all "Camping" in the Park. OWS is not Camping. It is Protest. It is a Righteous Shout against the Economic Inequality and Legalized Theivery the 1% have set up in this Nation. But, it's the 1% legalese solution to stifling dissent and outlawing Democracy. By labeling it "camping" the 1% empower their political, media, and law enforcement dogs to disrupt, detain and beat those who attempt to return.

OWS and the #OccupyMovement are the most clear example of Democracy in the US. That the Rightwingers hate it because their Plutocratic Lords and Masters hate it. And the hypocritical conservatives demand Authorities destroy #Occupy, preferably violently, but also using the laws finely crafted and purposefully adopted by the 1% to stifle and eliminate protest.

The Sound of The Drums, Doctor Who

OWS has the so alarmed the One Percent they've called forth All of their smearing Conservative dogs. These mendacious plutocratic sycophants will spare no effort, will leave no lie unspoken and will use anything to serve their Moneyed Masters.

Chief liar and fabricator Andrew Breitbart is the scummiest piece of conservative trash and filth for proclaiming in a tweet:

Coincidence or Coordinated? #OWS attacked Wall Street to the week after Al Qaeda attacked Wall Street on 9/11.

Breitbart is Loathsome. Just loathsome. But it shows, 1) conservatives will never stop waving the bloody shirt of 9/11 and 2) despite being a serial liar Breitbart will never be shunned or silenced and the bigger his lies and outrageous statements the more support he will receive because he is doing it in service to the Rich and Powerful. His entire operation over at BigGovernment is devoted to undercutting, infiltrating and destroying the 99%. Imagine if he uncovered professionally manufactured memos with these mission statements:

- "Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– "The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

Of course, those were crafted by the Dick Armey and Koch Brothers for 1% fueled and financed Tea Party. #Occupy and OWS are true grassroots movements.

John Hinderaker posted a video on his Powerline blog, with the headline Rampaging Occupiers Attack 78-year old Woman The evidence? Why strangely (or purposefully) the video fails to capture the moment of the "attack", but does show two elderly ladies at different times and different areas having fallen to the ground and being helped to their feet by police/security personnel.

Oddly, at this same rally, a One Percenter ran over 3 protesters and then ran into another group of protesters with his car. The Rightwing response? Applause and fantasizing about doing it themselves or shooting the protesters.

Glenn Beck's The Blaze, Hotair, FreeRepublic, Erick Erickson's Red State blog and Yahoo news stories are now replete with conservatives calling for fire hoses, clubbing, violence and police brutality. When a peaceful protester was shot by a Oakland Police Officer,

“While filming a police line at Occupy Oakland after midnight on Nov. 3 following the Nov. 2 general strike, an officer opens fire and shoots me with a rubber bullet. [Probably a bean-bag round G_e_G] I was standing well back. There was no violence or confrontations of any kind underway. At 0:31 seconds you can see a tall officer in the front raise his weapon and then fire. This is the full clip of the incident.”

Conservatives cheer.

Conservatism is Terrorism. It's designed to push the majority of Americans into penury and wage slavery. It's Orwellian in it's language and actions.

But, despite the worst efforts of the Breitbart and his ilk, by an overwhelming majority, the American People know Wall Street and their wholly owned Republican Party are responsible for the economic calamity. The Top 3 causes of the Republican Recession are:

1) Investment Firms and Banks making Risky Loans and Investments,
2) American Companies not investing in creating jobs in America,
3) The Economic Policies under former President Bush, including tax cuts for the wealthiest families.

So, while images and video of 50 elderly seniors of the 1500 members of the Jane Addams Senior Caucus being arrested at OccupyChi warms the cockles of Rightwing Terrorists hearts, it strengthens the spines and resolve of The 99% to continue!

Michael Bloomberg talks about the Republican Recession

"Those who own this country ought to govern it," - John Jay

New York Billionaire Mike Bloomberg, angry that his beloved 1% are correctly being blamed for Wall Street's Rigged Toxic Economic System which led to the current Financial Disaster, recently told the OWS protests; "I hear your complaints. Some of them are totally unfounded. It was not the banks that created the mortgage crisis. It was, plain and simple, Congress who forced everybody to go and give mortgages to people who were on the cusp."

Thank You Mayor Bloomberg for pointing out this Economic Disaster was accomplished at the behest of the 1% by the REPUBLICAN PARTY. This is a Republican Recession. This is the Economic Collapse is the Fault of the Republican Party.

Okay not exactly, the current Recession is being pushed on America by the Rich 1% Plutocrats with the vicious Republican dogs and conservative dupes aiding them. Bloomberg can't help himself. His Aristocratic sensibilities are offended by the sight of the 99% expressing their 1st Amendment Rights. But, Bloomberg can't wallow in the mud like Faux News "Reporters" or Conservative Smear Merchants.

Bloomberg isn't the only angry One Percenter, BofA CEO Brian T. Moynihan is "incensed" by the plebes. How dare these OWS types not recognize their Moneyed Masters beneficence! "I, like you [speaking to BofA Executives], get a little incensed when you think about how much good all of you do, whether it's volunteer hours, charitable giving we do, serving clients and customers well," Moynihan said. Addressing critics, he said, "You ought to think a little about that before you start yelling at us."

But, let's not forget the Wall Street Criminals and Bank Thieves could not have accomplished this theft of Billions without the aid of the Republican Party. But, unlike what the alternate reality the Rightwing revisionists are trying to sell these days the Government didn't force any bank, any lender to make these loans. The Banksters and Wall Street Criminals wanted the housing bubble and choose the Republicans in Congress and the White House to push through legislation making their crimes "legal".

It doesn't even start with Senator Phill Gramm or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley repeal of Glass-Steagal in 2000. It doesn't end with the Heritage Foundation's 2001 ridiculous claims the Bush Tax Cuts on the Wealthy would accomplish the following:

1) Effectively pay off the federal debt;
2) Reduce the federal surplus by $1.4 trillion;
3) Substantially increase family income;
4) Save the entire Social Security surplus;
5) Increase personal savings;
6) Create more job opportunities.

No this Republican Recession is not an accident. It is the culmination of the Republican Party's Owners to shrink Government down to be drowned in a bathtub. The despicable Grover Norquist, originator of the Drowning phrase, longtime conservative smear merchant, long-time partner of convicted criminal Jack Abramoff, president of the conservative Americans for Tax Reform, said President Bush will be remembered “long after people can no longer pronounce or spell Fallujah.”

And Grover will be correct. Bush's "Ownership Society" ideals, which began when he was Governor of Texas in the 1990s, will be remembered in US History classes as the either, the realization of a long held Republican goal, the destruction of the Middle Class, the largest Transfer of Wealth to the Richest 1%, and the creation of perpetual Wage Slavery for America or the rise of #Occupy and the beginning of the Renaissance of the American People.

Once Bush got into the White House (and in his spare time of ordering Americans to torture, making up stories about phantom Iraqi WMDs, and not spending much time worrying about Osama Bin Laden) Bush was aiding and abetting Alan Greenspan and the Wall Street Thieves in creating an financial housing bubble in which Wall Street would end up receiving Trillions of dollars under the guise of helping everyone own a home, "And part of it is working together as a Nation to encourage folks to own their home." President George W. Bush, Oct. 15, 2002.

The really bad credit default swaps, the really divorced from reality derivative gambling, the really evil chop and blend bundling of worthless toxic assets into AAA rated loans occurred between 2002-2006, at a time the White House, Supreme Court, House of Representatives, and Senate were all completely dominated by Republicans.

Republicans are in the business of destroying Government. But, Republicans never take blame and for what they have deliberately wrought. So even though private sector loans were responsible,

During those same explosive three years [2004-2006], private investment banks — not Fannie and Freddie — dominated the mortgage loans that were packaged and sold into the secondary mortgage market. In 2005 and 2006, the private sector securitized almost two thirds of all U.S. mortgages, supplanting Fannie and Freddie, according to a number of specialty publications that track this data.

Ask any conservative what caused the Financial Collapse, they will cite Fannie and Freddie, ACORN and Barney Frank. But, the rising inequality in our Society? The Incredible Gap between the Richest 0.1% and the Rest of America? That is unknown to them.

So we have Republicans at the behest of their Moneyed Masters enacting policies, rigging laws, and ignoring crimes which has nearly destroyed the Nation, has made millions of Americans unemployed and plunged the 99% into a spiral of destitution which will take a decades long radical battle against the 1%, who will spend every second cheating, stealing, buying politicians, rewriting laws, rigging elections, altering textbooks and the historical narrative, employing thousands of rightwing hacks at conservative think tanks and, yes, relying on Govenrment officials to discourage, harass, arrest and beat We, the 99%.

The images from the Police dispersing OccupyOakland apparently with tear gas, "flash-bangs", and shotgun fired beanbags rounds (all of which the Oakland PD deny using) are disturbing. But, not shocking. These actions are what the 1% want from Police across the country. The Police have always been tasked with keeping the Demos in line, mainly with petty criminal statutes but when necessary by mass arrests in sweep and clear paramilitary type operations. So, as in Boston and other cities the Oakland Police Chief and Command Structure have just ensured enmity between Police Officers and People for a couple decades.

As always Police Officers are put in the worst position, just like front line soldiers, because the Rich and Powerful REMFers never, ever place their "skin in the game". Just remember while the 4 am raids are going on, Racist Limbaugh is "Dreaming of Riots in Denver."

Now, the Occupation protests present a huge tactical and logistical nightmare for Public Officials and Police Officers. There is, unfortunately, a likelihood of crime occurring in these make-shift encampments. Plus, when one adds in the waste management and trash disposal issues, not too many cities want a shanty-town to grow up in their midsts. But, the thing that is really driving the massive arrests and violence against American citizens is the message they are bringing;

Stop catering to and enforcing the Whims of the Wealthy. Stop the Classacre upon the Middle and Working Classes.

The Big Picture success of OWS has been the shifting of the focus from austerity measures (i.e. The Massive Transfer of Wealth Upwards) and to addressing the struggle of the 99% and the terrible burden the Entitled 1% have caused with their blatant criminal greed and thievery. OWS has caused a fundamental shift, which the 1% are desperate to shut down.

But, to me the #OccupyRevolutions more impressive accomplishments are how, in less than a month's time, their experiment in direct democracy is succeeding, while also handling the day-to-day issues of food preparation & distribution network, internal security measures, medical services, trash removal and sanitation. As a Police Officer and a Big Government loving liberal I applaud their efforts to regulate, clean up, and police the area.

When I first went downtonw to OccupyChi, I was encouraged because some of those early members had already created a police liasion. It seemed the protesters had at least grasped the idea that working with the Police to accomodate small rules would help them avoid the crackdowns the NYPD and Michael Bloomberg were exerting upon OWS.

I thought eventually the OccupyChi Protesters and the everyday down-in-the-streets Chicago officers could work to ameliorate conflicts. It would bring together a positive police presence in the encampment whom the protesters could learn to trust.

It is my opinion that officers conducting spot checks, watching for plain sight crimes and roving meet and greet patrols, amongst the Protesters while they are on public property or in the early morning hours would have fallen under the standards established by the Courts in the Terry v. Ohio ruling (Terry Stops). It could have kept unsavory or criminal elements away from the Protesters and would not have been a violation of 1st or 4th Amendment Rights.

Well, this of course, was not to be as OccupyChi has twice been cleared from Grant Park after midnight raids from the Police. The repeated raids, sweep-and-clear mass arrests, destruction of property and iron fist tactics are not going to stop.

Now after such over-the-top brutal methods the Protesters will never agree to having small bands of roving officers wandering through their encampments. Once again the 1% have successfully parlayed the Us v. Them Game.

I DO NOT agree with and shall never agree with these type of tactics. Early morning raids, tear gas, mass detentions conducted on the Protesters for what amounts to a Municipal Park District Ordinance Violation is Unconstitutional.

But, what every Police Officer should realize is once the People are crushed, once the Middle Class is forever obliterated, once we are reduced to Wage Slaves chained irrevocably to be cogs in the machines of industry and war, only a small cadre of police will needed, the rest will be disposable.

In New Jersey, about 4,000 police officers have lost their jobs in the past two years (2009-2011), said Anthony Wieners, president of the state’s Policemen’s Benevolent Association.

It’s Not Class Warfare, Mister Boehner, Mister Ryan and Mister Fleming. It’s Class Massacre.

“Since my net income — and again, that’s the individual rate that I told you about — the amount that I have to reinvest in my business and feed my family is more like $600,000 of that $6.3 million. And so by the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over..." - Republican Tea Party member John Fleming

"If inequality is at a much higher level - who cares?" ~ Brit Hume, Faux News

The Republicans are out in force. Their Plutocratic Masters are furious that the top tax rate may increase from 35% to 39.6% or that Capital Gains profits would be taxed as regular income.

It's been class warfare ever since the Wealthy had the tax codes changed so they could pay themselves a "salary" of $100,000 and millions in "dividends", on which they pay a paltry 15%. Meanwhile, they insure you pay twice that rate on the money you earn. The Middle Class has been carrying the burden of funding the government for decades. It's ingenious, to make the middle and working class pay for Social Security and aid to the poor while the Rich pay less in taxes, capped the SSI payroll tax at $106,000 and funnel billions to themselves from "government contracts".

The Rich are rapidly gaining total economic control of the US and will not abide having anyone stand in their way. So, they issued orders to their Hitmen in the Republican Party to bombard the airwaves with cries of "Class Warfare!"

Here's how His Regal Lordship Paul Ryan reacts when a Peasant dares question him;

Representative Ryan shall not brook Peasants in his Sight, "I hope he's taken his blood pressure medication," while he still can because after Ryan enacts his couponcare program, pre-existing conditions are going to cost too much of your "individualized" health savings account.

Of course, this isn't the first time some pleb has gotten to close to Paul Ryan. While being treated to a $700 dollar Pinot Noir dinner date from $20 Billion dollar Hedge Fund "Manager" Clifford S. Asness, a peasant had the gall to approach the Sagacious Deficit Guru and his companion. Asness, who correctly did not want to have his hands sullied with touching a poor person, declared, "Fuck Her"!

The Richest have so much economic power they have no fear of actively and openly trying to dismantle any opposition to their control. Paul Singer is the head of a $17 billion hedge fund, i.e. he shuffles paperwork around, creates jobs in Thailand and closes American plants and business's to "make money". Mr. Singer, a self proclaimed Barry Goldwater conservative, was still advocating the Right Wing BS that any regulation of Wall Street by Government would threaten to ruin the United States’ standing as the world leader in finance, during the Bush economic collapse year of 2008. Wall Street knows best America, regulation is theft; Capital belongs to the Capitalist; Poverty belongs to the Poor!

The Koch Brothers Party of the Opulent in June 2011, was attended by Billionaires and Millionaires, who were lavished with praise from their special guest, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whom they flew out special to lavish them with praise as they applauded themselves for their excellence and prepared for the "Mother of All Battles". (Read and listen to Christie's vile speech broken by the Brad Blog)

The Moneyed Masters see the 2012 elections as providing them the necessary power to complete the subjugation of America; they will steal Social Security, eliminate Pell Grants, end Medicare/Medicaid, obliterate Unions and so beat down the Middle Class that Americans will be battling each other for an extra crust of bread or a few more slips of Plutocratic company scrip.

And if you resist? Well, John Fleming (R-LA) has a message for you, "That’s people who will not get jobs."

Update:
Faux News is out in force pushing the Plutocrats Talking Points. This from Michelle Malkin is the height of the alternate conservative universe hypocrisy; "we're talking about non-wealthy people who are earning, say, $250,000..."

For the purposes of their genuflection to the Rich, a quarter million is "non-wealthy" for purposes of destroying Unions and making teachers destitute, $50,000 is greedy.

Now, personally I don't think $250,000 is wealthy. At this point, it's upper middle class. But, it's a sick and twisted land we live in that conservatives are allowed to consistently label those making one-fifth that amount as thugs and parasites.

Let them Eat Chilled Cake and Zero Percent Taxes for People... Corporate People

"Corporations are people, my friend." ~ Mitt Romney

"This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-more. Some people call you the elites; I call you my base." ~ George W. Bush

“It’s like when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939.” ~ Hedge Fund parasite Stephen Schwarzman correctly defines what would happen if Capital Gains were taxed as normal income.

Do you want to know why the economy has not rebounded? Because the majority of the American people are being pushed in penury and wage slavery. Here's what the Bush/Cheney Years did to America:

- Median Income declined outright from 1999 to 2009.
- From 1960 to 2000, manufacturing accounted for 20 million jobs in the U.S. since 2000 we've lost a 1/3rd of those jobs.
- Between 2002 and 2007 2 out of every 3 dollars of Income growth went to Bush's Base
- And even in during Bush's Crash year of 2008, excluding capital gains, the top 1% saw their share of national income rise.

At a time when Multi-National Oil Corporations are destroying the oceans, rivers, hills and dales of the world and receiving US Taxpayer dollars to do it, the Republicans are running on eliminating the EPA and all regulations of businesses.

At the same time Faux News, Kudlow & Cramer and every hired Republican punk ass hitman proclaim the lie that 49% or 51% or whatever number they find convenient to demagogue about do not pay taxes;

"And I'm going to tell you one other thing: When did we ever get to a point in America where, we're nearly at the point where fifty percent of Americans don't pay anything in taxes! Nothing!" ~ Sean Hannity.

"I think it's abysmal that 51% pay no income taxes..." - Orrin Hatch.

The Republican Party's favorite Presidential Candidates are running on a platform of No Taxes on Corporations. That would be Zero. Corporate Profits have gone up quarter after quarter since the beginning of 2009. Verizon, for instance, reported a pre-tax income of $24.2 Billion in 2009-2010 and received, through U.S. federal income tax loopholes, a $1.3 Billion dollar refund.

Just so you understand that correctly, when poor people who have next to nothing manage not to pay federal income taxes it's a Sean Hannity abomination. But, Corporations who are receiving U.S. government welfare and whose profits have been increasing steadily, since a minor dip caused by the Bush Recession, should have their tax rates reduced to Zero.

This New Republican Taxes could be called the Pleasure of Working for Us Tax.

But, you see that's when the Conservative Fabrication Machine steps in! The Heritage Foundation can be counted on to convince the brain dead and battered conservatives to support more taxes on the poor and the transfer of more U.S. taxpayer dollars to off-shore bank accounts of the Plutocracy.



Don't make Stuart Varney mad you fucking peasant! YOU have a refrigerator! YOU are not Poor! Even if that fridge does not contain milk or eggs or medications. The Cupboard maybe bare, but you have Freedom... If you can't realize that you "Lack a Richness of Spirit."

The entire Republican Party, "Business-firendly" Democrats, and most Conservatives hate America, hate the Middle Class and hate the Poor. Every fiber of the Republican Party is tuned to oppressing and enslaving the American Worker.

The Koch Brothers and their Plutocrats have declared 2012 will be "The Mother of All Battles" as they intend to fully stock the Government with hit men who will implement every possible tactic they can to crush opposition to the Class Massacre while cementing into U.S. law the Rule of the Plutonomy.

American Capitalism is Medieval Feudalism

The Capitalist system we are being subjected to is nothing less than Wage Slavery and Neo-Feudalism. The Banksters, Industrialists, Hedge Fund Managers have set up a system where all their losses are paid for by society and all their profits are snuck into secret UBS bank accounts in Switzerland.

American Capitalism is a game rigged by Swindlers and Thieves. Similar to the landed gentry and Peers of the Middle Ages, they claim infalliability for their station in life with titles, like "Job Creators" and they’ve spent decades creating Repositories of Conservative Bullshit, euphemistically called think tanks, which produce terabytes full of justifications for the Order of the World. Here's what the Heritage Foundation proclaimed would happen if the Bush tax cut legislation were to pass, it would:

1) Effectively pay off the federal debt;
2) Reduce the federal surplus by $1.4 trillion;
3) Substantially increase family income;
4) Save the entire Social Security surplus;
5) Increase personal savings;
6) Create more job opportunities.

Not one of their predictions came true, but then the Bush Tax Cuts weren't about helping the American people but about stealing Trillions in wealth.

Plus, the Plutocracy has it's church, run by politicians and corporately controlled media, which give daily sermons to the serfs and lavishes praise on their Masters.

At a recent fundraising event hosted by the odious Koch Brothers and attended by Billionaires and Millionaires, Chris Chrisite assured the Plutocrats that they are the Lords of Creation.

"Please, if you leave with just one message from me, if only one message sticks: This is a huge moment of crisis and opportunity for our country. All of you are the people who are going to lead us back to American greatness. If you care enough to do it."

Chrisite also assured the Plutocracy that help from the Government to the Middle and Working Classes was at an end,

"Now, pain will be inflicted when we change that. People are going to do with less. People who are used to having entitlement at a certain level will not have them at that level anymore. That's the story." Christie cited Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's "courageous" and "thoughtful plan" to "fix those systems" by replacing Medicare with a voucher program.

That pain you feel? Well, that's the Republicans whipping you in the fields while your Lords work you to death.

Capitalism Wills It!

"You have to recognize that free enterprise is based on free people and … free people are based on faith. The very basis of our belief and freedom is that we believe we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights." ~ Newt Gingrich

Oh Mighty Capitalism, please bless us with your bounties! For Yours is the Kingdom, The Power, and the glory forever and ever...

Capitalism is the god of the Corporatists. Sure, they make a show of belief in christianity but it's a sham, a mockery. Their true religion is Greed. And much like the conversion of Constantine in 312, they had a vision, Under this banner ($) shall ye conquer, and so they have.

The Richest 1% of this Nation control 50% of all financial investments. The top 10% have almost 90% of stocks, bonds, trust funds, and business equity, and over 75% of non-home real estate. Basically, 10% own the United States of America.

But it's important to note that for the rich, most of that income does not come from "working": in 2008, only 19% of the income reported by the 13,480 individuals or families making over $10 million came from wages and salaries.

The Rich have successfully waged a Class War on America. The reason Jimmy Carter has been so vilified by the conservatives is that in late 1970's the Top 1% "only" controlled 20% of the Nation's wealth. And that Oppression of the Plutonomy shall not stand! So, the Plutocrats of this Nation went hard to work to create Think Tanks, invest in school boards and buy political offices for the express effort to create brigades of Shock Troops dedicated to indoctrinating Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining trickle down economics.

And they've been successful at it. For instance, the Koch Industries, Exxon-Mobile funded Heritage Foundation rabidly cheered and promoted the Bush Tax Cuts. The Heritage Foundation's 2001 report proclaimed if the Bush tax cut legislation were to pass, it would:

1) Effectively pay off the federal debt;
2) Reduce the federal surplus by $1.4 trillion;
3) Substantially increase family income;
4) Save the entire Social Security surplus;
5) Increase personal savings;
6) Create more job opportunities.

Everyone of those claims did not happen and in fact the exact opposite occurred. But, what did happen was a massive transfer of wealth to the Ultra-Wealthy, which were the true goals of the Bush Tax Cuts.

Like any good despotic religion Capitalism moves quickly to to stifle and stamp out heresy. Billionaire Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in America, made the mistake of saying it's time Congress stop coddling Billionaires.

Blasphemy! The Shock Troops went to work quickly to denounce him and to assuage and tamp down any ideas in the heads of their slaves, the conservative voter.

The Plutocracy's Hitmen, the Republicans immediately tweeted their disagreement, mostly in the 'Oh Yeah? If it's such a good idea why don't you give billions of your money???'

And the Heritage Foundation omniously hinted at something far worse (psst... it's part of that marxist mulsim Kenyan Usurper's plan).

"A billionaire calling for more taxes might make great political theater, but there's more to the story than Buffett — and Obama — would have you believe,"

wrote Mike Brownfield, assistant director of strategic communications at the Heritage Foundation. Yikes, what a title! Mike Brownfield, Assistant Director of Strategic Communications! It almost makes it sound like Brownfield is something more than a pasty, flabby assed, never served a day in the military, never had a real job hatchet man for the Wealthy.

Champion Birther Joseph Farrar, of World Nut Daily, penned this eloquent work: Warren Buffett Just Shut Up! In his column, which I shall not link to, Farrar writes that: Most (his word) of the money collected by taxes is wasted on unconstituional (read as: Medicaid, Social Security, Pell Grants, reduced school lunch programs, the EPA, and OSHA) and concludes:

Do they really think it somehow benefits America to have Washington throw more money away on unconstitutional, fraudulent, wasteful, corrupt and immoral programs?

Are they socialists at heart?

But, the loudest propaganda arm of the Plutocracy, Faux News, immediately went for the Warren Buffett = Joesph Stalin by having Eric Bolling ask is Warren Buffett "Completely A Socialist"? Of course, the inestimable Jon Stewart does a better job of highlighting the vicious evilness of the Faux Propaganda Machine:

There are no depths the Wealthy will not stoop to in order to continue their Classacre of America. Andrew Breitbart blantantly lies and proclaims Democratic New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg says we have to 'Eliminate the Rich' when in the video the word can clearly be heard as "waste". It's already viral amongst the Conservative blog echo chamber...

So where are we? The massive Class War the Ultra-Rich have waged on us has succeeded but that doesn't mean we have to let them follow up their victory with legislation designed to cement their rule.

Turn off Fixed News, pressure President Obama to act like a Liberal, contact your Representative, show up to local meetings, vote out Republicans vote in Progressives. The Plutocracy wins based on their massive amounts of money it will only be through working and effectively projecting our Mass as the oppressed majority who will not accept Wage Slavery, a stultified caste system, bigotry and oppression that we have a chance to overcome them.

The People's Champion... Corporate People

I am yours
You are mine
You are what you are ~ Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Crosby Stills & Nash

Corporations are people, my friend. ~ Mitt Romney

They’re us. They’re the middle class. We all own parts of corporations. ~ Rand Paul

The big reason things are going this way is because the Bush Economy and the Republican Recession had no impact on the Ultra-Rich. The Wealthy, The Plutocrats, the Hedge Fund Managers, the Billionaires, Corporate Unpersons are doing better than at anytime in American History, in 2009 the top 25 Hedge Fund managers "earned" $25 billion amongst themselves - more than they had made before the Bush Recession, and the stock market volatility, the Union busting, the Charter Schools, the Tea Party, the GOP are all happening to continue and expand their dominance.

Your Moneyed Masters are doing fine, so sit back and relax America. And if you're not fine with that? Well, too fucking bad the Corporate Unpersons and their lackeys don't want to hear it. And they won't.

Remember the Free Speech Zones John Ashcroft ordered to safeguard the image of the Bush/Cheney Presidency? They are back.

Paul Ryan doesn't want to hear from you plebeians. Don't you dare befoul his ears with complaints about him destroying Medicare and Social Security. After previously just having Police remove filthy peasants from his presence, Paul Ryan has set up a pay-per-view Town Hall meeting wherein questions and questioners will be screened and must fork over a fee in order to ask him a question. The fee is nominal but the screening is invaluable to Ryan as his town hall will seem serene and calm and the Media can continue to fawn over him as a brilliant policy wonk who knows what to do.

Republican congressman Doug Lamborn of Colorado called President Obama a "tar baby" so he's now deemed his office "Private Property" and has placed signs declaring "No Protesting".

And at the same time the Supreme Court recently ruled that threatening President Obama's life is protected speech. And this is after the 2009 Tea Party Agent Provocateurs ambushed Democrats at town halls over The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). And everytime Bill Maher or Janeane Garofalo picked on the wrong target, the duped impoverished conservative, and called them racist (for... well... being racist) the more the Teabaggers ire was raised, the more they set themselves against other working people and the more Karl Rove, Dick Armey, the Koch Brothers and the Plutocracy cheered.

What the Republicans have done is a create a system where they will not allow you to protest them. We are rapidly moving to a time of One Party control of the government, as Gore Vidal called it the Property Party, which ruthlessly curtails any protest aimed at them but happily allows protesters to rail against the other party (you know the weak willed demonic party of America-hating enemy appeasers, who seem more than willing to play the role of patsy, of punching bag, of the Washington DC Generals.

Meanwhile, Corporate Unpersons steal Trillions, instruct their lapdogs to eliminate all safety and environmental regulations, tear down and pilfer benefits for the working classes, and continue sending your sons off to die in wars of Imperialist Market expansion.

Corporate Lapdog Rick Perry calls for a moritarium on all regulations.

Chicken Hawk Republicans 'Tip of the Spear' rhetoric

In The Talk section of the today's Chicago Tribune it was noted that Michele Bachmann said she was at "the tip of the spear" during the fight over the national health care overhaul. The writer also notes 'tip of the spear' rhetoric was used by Deadbeat Dad/Republican Joe Walsh as well and then questions How many tips of the spears are there?

Having spent time at Camp Red Spearpoint* in Iraq, I suppose I should be insulted by the constant rough and tough refrain which belches forth as a noxious blathering cloud from every Republican coward, but I'm not. I understand clearly why the GOP has embraced the military, I understand why Ronald Reagan and Michele Bachmann love John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy.

Republicans pretend to be brave and pretend to be soldiers because that sheen, that facade affords them the opportunity to use the military to advance their agenda of Oppression and Classacre.

Well, the answer goes back to the when the Republicon Party embraced their Insane Movement Conservatives during the Reagan Revolution. While the GOP has always had the violent militaristic factions it wasn't until the 1980's when the young College Republicans came under the sway of evil men, Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist and Jack Abramoff and they began to exert tremendous pressure upon the Republicons.

Conservatives have for years been more interested in fighting here than over there. And what were the fighting for? To insulate themselves into positions of power in the Federal Government from which they could wage their battle on the American people.

And much of this flows back to that icon of Republican Chicken Shit cowardice Ronald Reagan. Reagan was great at pretending to be a tough guy. So the College Republicans under Reagan embraced the langauge of war and the military. In the 1983 annual CR report Jack Abramoff wrote "Fighting the Left with a goal of victory" and "defund the enemy whenever possible. Note how today these are the same words used by Tea Party leaders like Judson Phillips, "I detest and despise everything the left stands for." And how Michele Bachmann stated the battle to eliminate ACORN was to "defund the left".

It has always been and always will be more important for conservatives to attack liberals than for them to worry about external threats, even when they, themselves have ramped up fear about external threats.

Vice President Dick Cheney used an attempted terrorist incident aboard a plane flying from the Netherlands to the US to attack President Obama,

"Why doesn't he want to admit we're at war? It doesn't fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn't fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency—social transformation—the restructuring of American society."[emphasis added]

Convicted Criminal Tom Delay, lifelong friend and benefactor of Convicted Criminal Jack Abramoff, used 9/11 as all Republicans did to attack Liberals,

"Conservatives saw the savag...savagery of 9/11 in the effects and oh..in, in, the at--attacks and prepared for war. Liberals saw the savageerry on 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapeutic understanding for our attackers."

What the Republicans did after the 1960's was learn to play the perpetual outsider to Washington DC. Forever more, they would be the Revolutionaries battling the enemy. And who was that enemy? Why the evil Liberals and Leftists in DC! Those Liberals are in cahoots with the commies, or the socialists, or the marxists, or the maoists. Or these days the muslims. What Barack Obama doesn't understand is it does not matter how effectively or how much money he throws into the Phony GWOT, to the conservatives he is axiomatically a muslim sympathizer. I'm certain I need not provide any examples since it is the daily talking points of every blogger, toxic conservative radio host and Faux persona. But, here's the odious Pamela Geller who claims that President Obama provided intelligence to the Taliban to enable them to shoot down the Chinook Helo carrying SOF and Navy SEALs because he's in league with the enemy.

Conservatives claim the 'tip of the spear' defense of the nation to deflect, when they are put on the defensive. "You can't be counted on to protect this country when it's under assault internally," stated the noisome R. Limbaugh, who aptly demonstrated that liberal bashing and hippie punching are the automatic response of conservatives, no matter the issue at hand.

So, the answer is; there are as many 'tip of the spearpoints' as necessary for the Republicans and conservatives to succeed in their unending war on the American people.

*- the base name has been changed, but any non-Republican chicken hawk can probably guess what base I'm referring too.
