Republican Totalitiarian Richard "Howling Mad" Mourdock declares Bow Down or Republicans will launch a New Civil War!

"A society devoid of compromise is totalitarian. If I had to define a free and open society in one word, the word would be compromise." - Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals.

"What I’ve said about compromise and bipartisanship is I hope to build a conservative majority in the United States Senate so that bipartisanship becomes Democrats joining Republicans..." Richard "Howling Mad" Mourdock, Totalitarian Republican candidate for Senate.

Compromise is back in the news cycle again. And once again a Republican Tea Party Extremist hath decreed Compromise to be Do as I Say!

But, it's far worse than just that "Howling Mad" Mourdock is another asshole Republican who also invoked the "I am the 53%" tax nonsense.

"I am here to suggest to you that we are in a house divided. You know this past April, when our federal taxes were paid, 47 percent — 47 percent — of all American households paid no income tax. In fact, half of that 47 percent almost, actually got tax money back from the government that they never paid -– because a few years ago we revised the welfare program to make it part of the tax code. When 47 percent are paying no income taxes — they do pay Social Security — but they are not paying income taxes, and 53 percent are carrying the load, we are a house divided." - Richard Mourdock

I've already written and demolished this Republican Reverse Robin Hood Scheme about how Republicans supposedly the Party of lower taxes simply wants to raise taxes on the Poor while cutting funding to government programs that aid the sick and poor so the Rich can enjoy more Tax Payer Welfare [See My Post: Why would any poor person vote for a Republican?]

All of a sudden the profligate spending Republicans couldn't squeeze the Poorest Americans to pay for their mooching Corporate Welfare ways because the Poor were not paying their fair share of taxes! Talk about your Class Warfare. Republicans began a blitz of propaganda that, depending upon which Republican you were listening to, 45% or 47% or 49% or 51% or whatever number they found convenient to demagogue about, weren't paying any taxes!

But, wow it really highlights the Republican Class Warfare. After 30 years of Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics and the Effects of the Bush Republican Recession hard-working people are too poor to pay Federal Income Taxes but, as Len Burman pointed out, 82 percent of them pay more payroll tax than income tax. They also pay federal excise taxes on gasoline, beer, wine, liquor, tires, and cigarettes. As well as, state and local taxes. But the Poor are, as the Wall Street Journal once branded them, the "Lucky Duckies". According to Timothy Noah,

A new report by Citizens For Tax Justice, a labor-funded nonprofit with a reputation for dispassionate economic analysis, lays this out. When you factor in all state and local taxes, the bottom fifth (i.e. people earning, on average, about $13,000) pays on average an effective tax rate of about 17 percent. When you do the same for the top one percent (i.e. people earning, on average, about $1.4 million) the average effective tax rate is 29 percent.

But, beyond the Class Warfare plans of Mourdock and Mitt Romney (whose tax Plan raises taxes on the poor while lowering them on the super rich), what Richard Mourdock is really calling for is a New Civil War.

We are a House Divided... Mourdock either is as violently stupid as Sharon "Second Amendment Remedies" Angle or as actively ignorant as Christine "I'm a Witch" O'Donnell. There can be no other way to interpret the use of Lincoln's speech, Mourdock intends to use the power of the Federal Government to bring the Poor to heel. To shackle the Poor, Sick and Old with onerous new taxes, to slash their benefits and to trap them in Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage to the Plutocracy which he so reverently serves.

This Speech by Mourdock is the Call for Conseravtives to begin a New Civil War. Conservativism is Terrorism.

Frank Luntz and Saul Alinsky on Compromise

"A society devoid of compromise is totalitarian. If I had to define a free and open society in one word, the word would be compromise." - Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals.

"Don't ever say you're willing to 'compromise.'"If you talk about 'compromise,' they'll say you're selling out. Your side doesn't want you to 'compromise.' Compromise says that you're selling out those principles." - Frank Luntz, Rules for Republicans.

So, whom does Luntz and the Republicon Party represent? The 1%, Wall Street thieves, criminals and vultures. "I Get It". It's despicable and it's obvious. Any right-winger or anyone who has not watched the Republicon presidential clown show with disgust and revulsion or hasn't seen the 112th Congress fight, obstruct, and pander for the Plutocracy is so blinded by propaganda as to be utterly lost to the human race.

But, right-wing blog comments are a pardoy on inteligent discourse as they boil down to a standardized list of shorthand rage and illogical conclusions. Merely mentioning Alinsky in this post would be enough to throw a conservative into a blistering red-hot rage and respond with the cliched short hand comments found on every conservative site.

However, there should seriously, be a simple numerical system for the unthinking automatic rightwing responses. It could go like this:

1) Obama is the same as Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot et al.
2) ACORN
3) Saul Alinsky!!!
4) Of course, by the Free Market
5) Occupooper
6) leftist fascism
7) Get a job!
8) Gingrich is soooo smart
9) Fannie and Freddie

and so on.

And then instead of worrying about deciphering and refuting the nonsensical comments from conservative trolls all you would need to do is reference the handy-dandy chart.
