The White Republican Burden: Rolling back the Cancer of Progressivism

“We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.” - Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican- SC)

So 90% of the Republican Party is "white". Why we still use 19th century nomenclature for Race constructs is the point of this post.

Conservatives are tied to the ideas of Race. It's why they became so angry about George Zimmerman being classified in police reports as "White Hispanic". Racial constructs, the hard-working races, the lazy races, the Martial races and so forth still factor heavily unconsciously and consciously in Right-Wing thinking.

The only way Right-Wingers and Republicans can view America is through the Perspective of White Privilege. And the mythologized one at that.

"I don't want to make blahh [black] people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money." Rick Santorum Republican

Only certain races receive welfare. Throughtout American history when "Regular" Jack Gilchrist or Mitt Romney at Bain Capital or any of the conservatives chanting We Built This!!! are shown to have received money from the federal government it isn't welfare because they're "White". Gilchrist told the RNC "This administration is killing us out here.” I guess Obama is killing "Regular" Jack by giving him only $89,000 in welfare, err Defense Contracts.

Just before Ann Romney's "I am Everywoman Speech", there were two big incidents which always happen when a bunch of Reactionary 'We want Our White Privilege Back' gather.

In the first, Two RNC attendees threw nuts at a black CNN Reporter, as they stated, "This is how we feed animals."

In the seond, the Puerto Rico National Committeewoman, Zoraida Fonalledas, the chairwoman of the Committee on Permanent Organization—took her turn at the main-stage lectern. Speaking in her heavily accented English, some in the crowd started shouting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”

Reince Preibus had to step in with the gavel and plead as the mass of pasty-faced, wide-waisted, falbby-assed cowboy hat wearing Real Americans shrieked at a Hispanic woman.

Now, according to Jack Hitt of Harper's who orginally wrote about this display he received a
letter from one of the delegates who stated he was among those who started the chant. The delegate claimed that it was directed at Ron Paul supporters who were trying to drown out the proceedings with hants of “Point of order,” and the “U.S.A.!”s spread from there. “The fact that the USA chant happened while the lady from Puerto Rico was being introduced was just bad luck,” he wrote, “and had nothing to do with her.” He added that the intent was simply to “drown out the two obnoxious delegates” who were seated near him.

During the insufferable Republican debates this year and since Romney won the primaries conservatives have been referring to President Obama as the Welfare President. It's been a deft jete away from the Socialist and Marxist attacks thrown at President Obama.

"I don't use the word Socialist or haven't so far..." Mitt Romney.

One of the main reasons Romney won't use the Sterm, "ocialism" is amongst the 18-29 year olds Socialism is not the scare word it is amongst Republicans.

In 2010 Glenn Beck interviewed Paul Ryan. They discussed the cancer of Government. Ryan, of course, at the same time was defaming President Obama and denouncing Government was secretly begging for Stimulus Funds.

Glenn Beck: Nice to meet you, sir. Tell me, tell me your thoughts on progressivism.

Paul Ryan: Right. What I have been trying to do, and if you read the entire Oklahoma speech or read my speech to Hillsdale College that they put in there on Primus Magazine, you can get them on my Facebook page, what I've been trying to do is indict the entire vision of progressivism because I see progressivism as the source, the intellectual source for the big government problems that are plaguing us today and so to me it's really important to flush progressives out into the field of open debate.

Glenn Beck: I love you.

Paul Ryan: So people can actually see what this ideology means and where it's going to lead us and how it attacks the American idea.

Glenn Beck: Okay. Hang on just a second. I ‑‑ did you see my speech at CPAC?

Paul Ryan: I've read it. I didn't see it. I've read it, a transcript of it.

Glenn Beck: And I think we're saying the same thing. I call it ‑‑

Paul Ryan: We are saying the same thing.

Glenn Beck: It's a cancer.

Paul Ryan Exactly. Look, I come from ‑‑ I'm calling you from Janesville, Wisconsin where I'm born and raised.

Glenn Beck: Holy cow.

Paul Ryan: Where we raise our family, 35 miles from Madison. I grew up hearing about this stuff. This stuff came from these German intellectuals to Madison‑University of Wisconsin and sort of out there from the beginning of the last century. So this is something we are familiar with where I come from. It never sat right with me.

And as I grew up, I learned more about the founders and reading the Austrians and others that this is really a cancer because it basically takes the notion that our rights come from God and nature and turns it on its head and says, no, no, no, no, no, they come from government, and we here in government are here to give you your rights and therefore ration, redistribute and regulate your rights. It's a complete affront of the whole idea of this country and that is to me what we as conservatives, or classical liberals if you want to get technical.

Glenn Beck: Thank you.

Paul "Classical Liberal" Ryan knows progressivism is a cancer and Big Government is the source of problems and an affront to America especially when President Obama wouldn't rescue the GM Auto Plant in Janesville, Wisconsin which closed in 2008 when George Bush was President. I wonder if professional bureaucrat Paul Ryan felt the same about evil Big Government when he voted lock-step for every article of the Bush Economy and the Bush Transfer of Wealth Taxes of 2001 and 2003.

The Heritage Foundation funded by Koch Industries and Exxon-Mobile rabidly cheered and promoted the Bush Transfer of Wealth 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.

None of these predictions came true. What did happen was the worst recession in American History, the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the 1% and the largest Income Inequailty gap in US History. But the effects of the Republican Recession gets forgotten when people recall Bush's bigger failures of 9/11 and the useless Iraq War debacle.

Of course, the entire Republican Party is engaged in the biggest swindle in American History. Republicans believe the Government shouldn't pick "winners and losers" except when Mitt Romney and Bain Capital are bailed-out of bankruptcy or when Curt Schilling gets $75 million in loans from Rhode Island [See My Post: No Welfare for Wrigley]. It's only welfare when it goes to cadillac-driving welfare queens and young bucks eating steak with food stamps.

So, the Right-Wing Great Con Game continues. What Republicans have done is convince "whites" the growth of 20th century America and the gains made by women and minorities came at their expense.

But, Republican voters are just "marks". And the "shills" at Faux News and in the Republican Party are pulling off a Huge Bait-and-Switch gambit where they will get conservatives to vote away their freedoms and benefits.

Having fooled them, the Republicans will steal Trillions of dollars from the 99% and funnel it into the coffers of the Very Wealthy. Of course, the 1% will then trickle down some largesse to the Republican Party Shills as their cut for a job well done.

Poor Poor Pitiful Republicans or Damn It's Hard to be a Rancher

Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg of Montana told his supporters "we are struggling like everyone else". Rehberg assertion is the more galling because he has millions in land, or as Rehberg the Republican slime put it "we're land rich and cash poor," and is accounted the 23rd richest member of Congress.

Rehberg has the advantage of not being from Wisconsin, where Republican Sean Duffy told the rich Union thugs who are destroying America, "I..I struggle to meet my bills right now," on his $174,000 salary and families' guaranteed health and dental benefits.

But, that's how it goes for Republicans they know Americans are struggling because; They. Caused. It. Now, the Republicans House members are back in their districts having taken yet another vacation from not creating jobs and proclaiming 'We feel your pain!' as they are suffering just like their constituents.

Republicans are the party of the Rich, by the Rich and for the Rich.

This realization has been dawning on the American people as they observe their wages stagnate, health care insurance vanish, their children fight wars the rich avoid, and see more and more wealth trickle up to the privileged few. In an attempt to reverse their downward trend, the Republican establishment created The Tea Party Rage of 2009. It was grass roots! It was regular America! It was populist! The media and GOP assured us again and again.

Well, with the major media networks directed to champion the Tea Party Sham, the Republicans had to do little else than sit back and shout, "Hosanna!" But, Republicans will do whatever is necessary to fool people to vote against their self-interests.

If they have to pretend to be moral and righteous, they will. If they have to proclaim their philandering was because of their deep love of Country, they will. If they have to pretend to be fiscal conservatives they will. If they have to rail against government handouts while their families accept subsidies they will! If they have to lie and claim to be regular folks, well shucks they'll clear some brush on a Texas ranch!

Well, deluded voters put the Republicans back into power in the US House, multiple State legislatures and Governors. And what did the Republicans do upon regaining power? They showed their true objective. They moved quickly to steal rights away from workers, redefine rape, attack Planned Parenthood, and then crafted the most inhuman budget with the goal to finally eliminate the Middle Class and reduce the 90% of the American people, with whom Republicans have no ties, to Wage Slavery.

But, a funny thing has happened on the rush to obliterate Unions, the EPA, FDA, OSHA and create Neo-Feudalist GOPAmerica, the masses of people actually enjoy having America be a Modern Nation and don't want the Republicans to cosign us to Third World Status and Serfdom.

Republicans have to play the 'we're just like you' as voters recognize the Republicans are rich, elitest bastards far removed from their struggles and more worried about retaining office, dismantling the social safety net, deregulating every industry and removing Federal agencies which police and halt Corporate crime and corruption, as the Republican Punk Ass Bitches make sure they properly service their Rich Moneyed Masters.

False Profit Glenn Beck Deus Vult

"It's time for god's people to come out of the closet, out of the churches and change America!" - James Robinson Snake Oil Salesman.

Predictably, the size of Glenn Beck 828 Rally has come into question. The Rally received a permit for 300,000. Beck stated 500,000 (and hinted it was vastly more) and CBS news estimated 87,000 +/- 9000. Most other news sources declined to guess hoping to keep their servers free of thousands of 'You darn evil libruls is against the totally grass roots Teabagging movement!'

Personally, I don't care how many people came to be bamboozled by Beck. The Rally itself was an exercise in religious extremism and support for the con man's axiom, "There's a sucker born every minute".

Of course, Beck received hours of support from Fox and using that platform Beck again unleashed his hatred veering towards his new found zealotry.

Beck disavowed his statement from last year that President Obama "is a racist" and has a "deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture". No definition of this white culture was ever offered by Beck, but that is consistent with racist hate mongers like Beck. By offering up a term but not a definition or even examples, it affords Beck's duped listeners the opportunity of filling in whatever definition of white culture they want. And then because Glenn Beck said it on Fox the listener now has "evidence" that Obama hates White People and is racist.

But, now a year later Beck has realized he's gotten about as much traction and as much divisiveness from his Scare Whitey tactics. But, the damage is done, no one who absorbed and internalized Beck's message is going to reconsider their conclusions and change their minds. It's a Conservative Modus Operandi slander minorities ad nauseum knowing once their brain washed and battered supporters have reached a conclusion they are slow to change if ever. Even if the slander is proven manufactured, false and malicious, as evidenced by the continued conservative vilification of ACORN.

Thus capitalizing on the constant Obama is Muslin Fox invective, highlighted by a Pew Research Poll, Beck has changed targets and now states President Obama's evil tendencies come from his theology. This would seem to be preaching to the enslaved and brain dead; The Conservative Tearrorists and White Christian Fascists have already reached their Fox News/Dick Armey/Newt Gingrich crafted conclusion concerning the Secular Marxist Muslin in the White House.

But, what does Beck and his Toxic conservative slime merchants and their rulers and controllers, The Hedge Fund Managers like Paul Singer (posted from Liberality), The Corporate Welfare Queens, R. Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch, the Koch Brothers hope to achieve? Well, as Republicans and conservatives care about power over people and place elections over ethics further division amongst working and middle class "white" people would seem to be the strategy they hope to employ. And these incidents of religious zealotry are merely tools the Republican Party employs to keep the American people divided, powerless and enslaved.

Center Right Front and Center

Coming of Age in the Plague of Reagan and Bush
Watching Capitalism gun down Democracy ~ Your Next Bold Move, Ani DiFranco

Democrats have won the Presidential Election Popular Vote in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008. The only reason Bush managed to win in 2004 was because Redupelicans used Bush's Abject Failure of SEPTEMBER 11! Shouting it every time they could and frightening the evangelicals by making scary noises about Marriage and threatening them with catching TEH GAY.

As the election power of Screaming September 11 fades the Republicans fall back to the classic move of blaming their failures on the Democrats. Liz Cheney is the latest Republican, joining Dana Perino, Mary Matalin, Rudy Guiliani in claiming they weren't responsible for the failure of 9/11. [When is it no longer Bush's Fault?]

However, it's only a part of the Grand Strategy of the Republican Party. Republicans and Conservatives are engaged in a generations long struggle to create a set of facts which they can reference and continue the duping of their followers. From this set of facts, Redupelicans can continue to get Americans to vote against their interests.

It's a brilliant strategy. The constant repetition of the Center Right Republican truth, the false piety, the Talk Radio invective, the Fox News blather, the mass produced propaganda books (Liberals are Fascists! Liberals are Godless!) have allowed Republicans to steal the wealth of America and funnel Trillions of Dollars to their Corporate Controllers for over a 100 years.

However, the Right's greatest recent success has been in taking over the Texas State Board of Education which exert extreme influence over the information which goes into Nation-wide K to 12 Textbooks. With their school board power the Right has succeeded in reducing the age of the earth, highlighting the strengths of Creationism, glorifying Newt Gingrich for freeing the slaves, praising Phyllis Schlafly for saving American Women from the Perils of Learning and correcting the record of racist Republican Bigots who loved Martin Luther King Junior so much they wanted him to die to truly appreciate him.

Conservapedia, perhaps unsurprisingly started by Phyliss Schlafly's son and while widely panned and recognized as a joke has still garnered the support of the extremists on the right for their de-liberalization of the bible project; stating Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations. While this is absurd it's not what current people or Theologians believe but whether or not the Conservatives can brow-beat their children and future ones into accepting the Conservative Bible.

Both parties are made up of people who view themselves at the top of the American Social Stratification ladder; Especially when they reach the level of the Federal Government. And like all rich powerful self-important people they don't believe the regular laws apply to them, however, the Right shields and defends their members when they transgress because they view the exercise of political power as the highest good, when the Republicans are doing the exercising.

That way when the Bush unleashes the Smokin' Gun Mushroom Cloud lie and Dick Cheney simply states, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction, the Right is more than willing to believe those lies or if unable then to accept the Noble Lie Theory.

Unlike the bigots who suddenly emerged for fiscal responsibility when a black man became President, but looked the other way when Republicans stole Trillions, I will hold the Republican Party responsible for their lies.

Bill Nye the Science Guy

Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Science Rules...

Bill Nye had an appearance on Rachel Maddow's show wherein he corrected the Redupelicans, who don't understand the difference between climate and weather. Nye correctly labels Beck, Hannity, and all of Fox as unpatriotic.

Here's what Bill penned himself about the issue over at his blog:

Here is my concern: a handful of apparently influential politically conservative figures in the media were drawing attention to the recent snows in Washington, D.C. A few asserted that the storm was evidence that human-made climate change is a myth. Not only is that claim not reasonable, to my ear, the claim that they really don’t know better is not reasonable. To be sure, it is possible that some of these people really did or do believe that a snowstorm in February proves something about climate. But, much more reasonable to me is that they are doing their best to mislead their audiences.

Since the stakes are so very high for every human that will live into this century, I encourage those people to cut it out.

Nye is a reasonable educated man, exactly the type of person Fox News hates. Of course, the punk ass bitch conservatives would believe Sean Hannity and Fox News over Bill Nye because Hannity and Fox tell them what they want to hear... And Hannity and the Redupelican Party tell their vegetative zombiesque followers what their corporate controllers want them to hear...

Shoes or Underwear? It Don't Matter Republicans Will Lie

This shit is Bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! ~ Gwen Stefani, Hollaback Girl

The Redupelican Party platform is to lie. And when those lies are demonstrably shown to be false, lie more.

It's a prerequisite of being part of the Republican Party, other prereqs include being a Chicken Hawk, a Bully, a Bigot and a Punk Ass Bitch. Seriously, College Republicans have an enrollment form which requires their prospective members provide bona fides. For example Conservative Darling and male ward of Andrew Breitbart, Domestic Terrorist James O'Keefe had to do hours of fieldwork with Stormfront and other White Supremacist Groups in order to have the conservative imprimatur to start a Conservative Bigot Publication at Rutgers. Of course, it may be simpler and O'Keefe like most Conservatives is just a Racist Bigot who likes to attend White Supremacist Meetings.

However, while racist terrorist James O'Keefe is the smooth chested "friend" of Andrew Breitbart, The Redupelican Party long ago implemented a plan to titillate their unthinking conservative base with female fluffers, like Dana Perino and Monica Crowley.

That way when President Barack Obama implements the same procedures that the Bush/Cheney Junta used to prosecute Terrorists the Fluffer Perino and Crowley can lie and engorge the racist conservative ire.

So, Monica Crowley claims the US did not have military tribunals in place before 9/11, that's why the Shoebomber and the Underwear bomber are different. It doesn't matter that every member of the US Military learns in basic training the UCMJ was adopted in 1950 by President Truman and the US Congress. It doesn't matter to Crowley that Andrew Jackson used a military tribunal to try British Spies in the War of 1812. No, what's important is to have Crowley lick her lips and breathlessly mouth Obama is a Terrorist, as a sort of subliminal programming for the vegetative conservitve rabble.

Dana Perino is another typical Republican woman. A pretty package and a tight mouth from which only the narrow lies of the Redupelican Party are allowed to pass. Dana Perino lies the Shoebomber and the Underwear bomber are "apples and oranges" and she is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S! I'm surprised Fox News didn't give her a Banana to eat while she lied about President Obama.

Of course, the Reduplican Party isn't all about T&A, sometimes they need to hold aloft a scion, a model Conservative male for their base to relate too. So in steps doughy, flabby jowled, wide waisted Newt Gingrich to convince the aging pasty rich white guys Obama is a secret Muslim in love with Terrorists when Gingrich lies and states: 'Oh, the shoe bomber was an American Citizen that's why he got a civilian trial and not a military one'. Just like Newt that lie is a big fat oozy steamer.

However, Redupelicans being natural and cultivated liars and their duped conservatives can't ever admit when their lies have been exposed and tell the truth. No, they just lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie and lie more...

Sadly, I wish the Underwear bomber would be tried in a military court and sentenced for a war crime, deliberate targeting of civilians, and executed instead of his trial in the civilian court system. But, then I also wish the Redupelicans would stop Lying. And we all know that neither of those wishes will come true.
