Move over Honest Abe, slide outta your two-man bed James Buchanan, tell Ms. Monroe to warm her throat up because we have a new champion at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The vile thing occupying the White House is the new champion of fake sex.
In the Pantheon of Trump's most despicable moments, the time he mimicked a disabled person stood supreme (Link goes to a Magat Defense of Trump claiming it was Fake News). None thought a more vile or deplorable display could be or would be seen. The media sought to ignore it as they threw thousands of free hours of publicity at the creature and waited for the moment when they could write the definitive piece; Today Trump, truly, became President. Yet, everyday Trump strutted and pranced in the Limelight as he sought a new heights and greater applause and thus December 1st 2019, a new crowning achievement was realized. For Trump, live in front of an audience of thousands faked an orgasm.
A monumental grotesque moment from the Lord of the Grotesqueries
Look at the faces of the women behind Trump as he pantomimes an imagined sexual encounter. Recall that Trump was a frequent conspirator with Jeffrey Epstein, most likely, sexually abusing the same young girls with Epstein. Trump has been accused of raping a child, sexually assaulting multiple women and is being sued by two of the women he abused. Now look at those women's faces again. Laura Nazigraham chortled all night about this... Because the Magat Horde fucking love this. Trump's vile antics excite them and enervate them in a way no other Republican has since Ronnie Raygun.
Do you recall how aghast conservatives were when Janet Jackson's tit and weird nipple ring were thrust upon their poor unsuspecting children during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show? Well every sanctimonious right-winger who claims the LGTBQ community is a danger to children in bathrooms can fuck off forever. I never want to hear their hypocritical moralizing about dignity from an elected official. The Magat Horde not only tolerate but love this Grotesquerie they have foisted upon us. A Racist. A Rapist. A Traitor. The degradation of the Presidency is complete.
It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement.

Dishonorable Conservative Hypocrites piss on the Troops, Veterans and Bowe Bergdahl
Dishonorable Conservatives, as natural cowards and chicken hawks, hate Service members. As such, if you're a veteran and you aren't a rabid unthinking proponent of the conservative beliefs of Hatred, Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich they will piss on you. Doesn't matter if you are Pat Tillman or Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth or a Marine Veteran in Texas on Memorial Day or Bowe Bergdahl.
Once President Obama secured the release of Bowe Bergdahl the furious right-wing efforts to turn the fulfillment of America's sacred duty to her military members into a scandal erupted.
Of course, as Right-Wing hypocrisy knows no bounds, dishonorable conservatives were forced to delete and scrub their sites of pro-Bergdahl solidarity.
Over at Gawker, Adam Weinstein has a collection of tweets from conservatives who condemned President Obama, praised Bergdahl and agitated for his return until it was accomplished then they condemned President Obama, damned Bergdahl and agitated against his return.
Right-Wing powerblogger Jim Hoft, the thrice-awarded dumbest man on the internet, declared in October 2013, Horrible. Obama to leave POW to rot in Afghanistan after Withdrawal.
Bridgett Johnson of Pajamas Media, a "leading" Right-Wing disseminator of lies, back in Jan 2014 championed Bring POW Bergdahl Back by any means.
But that was Then, this is Now.
No More Mister Nice Guy has a Bergdahl Hypocrite Hall of Fame post highlighting how quickly the incestuous Right-Wing internet fart bubble got on-board with angrily espousing deeply held beliefs which are in direct opposition to their supposedly deeply held beliefs regarding Bowe Bergdahl.
But, it's not limited to everyday conservatives or "popular" right-wing bloggers.
Former Congressman and Lt. Col Allen West wrote piece after piece about how President Obama abandoned Bowe Bergdahl on the battlefield.
Republican Congressmen Lee Terry and Thad Cochran praised the return of Bergdahl until they learned it was anathema.
Unfortunately, as conservatives are shameless, no matter how many times you show their blatant hypocrisy, no matter how many of their previous statements undermine their current positions, you will never be able to mollify or blunt their efforts to destroy America. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show has been highlighting and ridiculing conservatives for over a decade and all it's down is strengthen their resolve to be disgusting anti-American scumbags.
I expect no less from Conservatives. They are the unthinking dishonorable drones of the Republican Party and by extension the Plutocracy. Conservatives piss on the military service of anyone who doesn't help them advance the Agenda of the Rich.
So, when Bergdahl was a POW his continued imprisonment was a way for Conservatives to attack President Obama. Now his release merely affords them another opportunity to attack President Obama.
Conservatives and Republicans don't see the Troops as people but as tokens for them to use to advance the Right-Wing Agenda to destroy the Democratic Republic and turn the Nation into a NeoFeudalist Wage Slave State owned and ruled by the 1%.
As for poor Bowe Bergdahl, he's going to face a Court Martial and Faux News is going to ensure it is a spectacle because the Right-Wing will see it as a way to put President Obama on trial by proxy.

Fracking is Wonderful unless it threatens the property of Rex Tillerson CEO of Exxon Mobil
Ah NIMBY(Not In My Backyard) is an old acronym. But, everything old is new again.
Update (02/27):
Chris Hayes interviewed Lou Allstadt a former Executive of Exxon (pre merger) who has been fighting Fracking for over 5 years.As Oil Companies push Hyrdaulic Fracturing (Fracking), the literal cracking and destruction of the earth's subsurface in order to extract petrochemicals, the Petroleum Pigs ignore the Thousands of Americans being harmed, the toxic fouling to the water table, and the political efforts of local communities and municipal governments to curb their reckless and rapacious behavior.
Unless! It threatens the Property of a Rich Man.
Rex Tillerson the CEO of Exxon Mobil has joined a lawsuit to stop the construction of Hydraulic Fracking Tower next to his 83-acre horse ranch.
The tower, being built by Cross Timbers Water Supply, would rise 15 stories, the Journal says. It's adjacent to Tillerson's horse ranch and not far from an 18-acre homestead. Tillerson is devoting considerable time to the matter: he sat for three hours in the lawsuit last May and attended an all-day mediation session in September, besides his Town Council appearance.
Among the others opposing the project are those who are not exactly known for environmental crusading: former U.S.House Majority Leader Dick Armey and his wife are the lead plaintiffs.
See, Fracking like the Koch Brothers Petcoke piles is something done to Poor People.
But, for years duped and gullible Conservatives have been saying Fuck the EPA and all Regulations because Republicans have convinced them that it is only by lawsuits, and not by evil government regulation, issues like Fracking, Petcoke or other gross violations should be stopped or addressed.
Of course when Real Americans realize they don't have a few spare million dollars lying around to bring a powerful lawsuit? Well, that's just what you get in conservative America. Justice and Government is reserved for the Rich. One of the main missions by the modern Republicans Party is to let Working Class Americans know They have no Friend in Government.
Conservatives idolize the Rich and hate the Poor that's why when local municipal governments have tried to stop Petroleum Pigs from Fracking them, Republicans and Conservatives swoop in with the awesome power of government to thwart the will of the people, to harm as many Americans as possible and to transfer money into the hands of the rich.

Stand with Rand? Glenn Greenwald blubbers about Drones defends his support of the Iraq War.
"But I had somebody last week in Washington from either Georgia or Alabama that was saying, ‘Look, this goes back to we have got to have at least 50 rounds in our magazines because on average that’s about how many it takes to bring down a drone.’ I hope he was kidding, I don’t know for sure." - Representative Louie Gohmert, Confederate States of America on Drones.Glenn Greenwald has declared that President Obama is worse than Dick Cheney. Because Obama, unlike Cheney, never infringed on an American's Constitutional Rights the way Obama did by authroizing a Drone Strike on Anwar al-Awaki (and his son).
What is this? Did the backlash against executive power take this long to foment in Greenwald? Does Glenn Greenwald feel frightened that Obama, who is worse than Cheney, is going to send a Drone Strike against him for speaking out?
What's actually happening is Glenn Greenwald is like John Wayne. Wayne chicken hawked his way out of World War II and in response became a jingoistic warmonger and arch-conservative. Greenwald supported the Phony GWoT and Iraq War Crime and now to make up for it he's become a lunatic anarcho-libertarian declaring all Government Action to be the illegal Use of Force.
Here is the text of what Greenwald, himself, relies upon to excuse his tacit support of the Phony GWoT and the Iraq War.
I did support the war in Afghanistan and, living in New York, believed the rhetoric about the threat of Islamic extremism.
At worst, I was guilty of apathy and passivity. I did nothing for or against it because I assumed that those in positions to exercise adversarial scrutiny – in journalism and politics – were doing that.
I had not abandoned my trust in the Bush administration. Between the president’s performance in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the swift removal of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the fact that I wanted the president to succeed, because my loyalty is to my country and he was the leader of my country, I still gave the administration the benefit of the doubt.
I believed then that the president was entitled to have his national security judgment deferred to, and to the extent that I was able to develop a definitive view, I accepted his judgment that American security really would be enhanced by the invasion of this sovereign country.The swift removal of the Taliban? He assumed others were scrutinizing the Rush to War. Loyalty to My Country! I deferred to Bush's Judgement.
As the 10 year mark of that bloody debacle hits home, it's amazing to watch those who participated in bilking the American People whitewash themselves of their guilt. I think that in order to prove himself, Greenwald will equate Obama's policies with Hitler at every opportunity. It's a powerful display. Hundreds of Thousands of Sunnis, Shias, Afghans, Pastuns, and others killed during the a Multi-Trillion Dollar Theft of Generations and Glenn will spare no effort over Drones?
Drones are tools and weapons. All the hand-wringing over their use in the Phony GWoT* is a mistake. Drones are a valuable tool which allows infiltration deep into hostile territory for targeted killings. Why send in a SEAL Team or conventional forces when a Drone can accomplish the task?
Drones for Domestic Use are also not a concern. Drones simply fall under the Use of Force and the 4th Amendment.
It makes no difference if a person is killed by bullets, blood chokes, burning or drone strike. Dead is Dead.
And under US Law (reviewed by multiple SCOTUS rulings and written into State Laws) Killing someone is considered the Ultimate Seizure under the 4th Amendment.
For Reference the applicable reviews of the 4th Amendment are:
- Graham v. Conner (1989)
- Tennessee v. Garner (1985)
Drones and their use gained massive blog-o-sphere attention after the Filibuster of the Director of the CIA by Senator Rand Paul. Couch-Borne Commandos and Self-Styled Champions of Liberty,as long as Liberty isn't Black people getting equal rights, like Senator Paul may have a problem with Drones but that's only because they've never been shot at or had to go hands on with a criminal.
Make no mistake if you've allied yourself with Rand Paul on this you're siding with John C. Calhoun before the Civil War.
Republicans and the Right-Wing Fart Bubble only mention Drones as a smear tactic against President Obama.
If there had been a Drone available to use against Christopher Dorner (Or against the Newest Second Amendment Hero Kurt Myers) then it should have been authorized and used.
Remember Dorner had already killed 4 people. He published a manifesto in which he stated he was going to kill as many people as possible. Some only tangentially connected. On the day of his death he shot two more Deputies, killing one, carjacked a couple and holed up in house firing numerous rounds at the surrounding officers.
Against a person, such as Dorner, does Glenn Greenwald or Senator Paul demand we send in single officers one at a time to face them man-o y man-o?
Now, Greenwald did write a column asking whether "[A]n armed drone should be dispatched against Dorner?"
But, while Greenwald believed it to be a good thought experiment about "Due Process" and his belief that Drones represent a massive violation of civil liberties, it highlighted the misunderstanding of seizures under the 4th Amendment (again killing someone being the ultimate seizure) and the Use of Force.
Apparently, Greenwald believes "Due Process" entitles a person to this level of warning:
If you believe that a Government should not be killing it's citizens, ever, that's a legitimate debatable position. But, Drones aren't used for the killing of incarcerated persons.
If you're concerned about Drones being used for surveillance, well unless you are complaining about Cameras in high-crime areas, wire-taps, and police officers with binoculars then it seems an arbitrary concern.
If you believe the President does not have the authority to use Drones for targeted killings overseas then your complaint is with Congress. Force Congress to exert their constitutionally-mandated War Powers Role and have them vote to seize back that power by removing authorization.
There might be legitimate concerns about the Use of Drones and there should be oversight and legal guidelines but they are nothing more than a tool. Every tool can be misused.
*- The War on Terror has a War Crime of Epic Proportions and has lead to thousands of unnecessary deaths and criminal theft of Trillions. As such it should be ended. But, the Drone Strikes aren't the worst thing about it.

This is Not The Voter Fraud You Were Looking For
Evidence of In Person Voting Fraud, the cause de rigueur of Right-Wing bigots these days is no existant. Allegations are made everyday and parroted upon thousands of conservative blogs.
But, what is rampant are instances and arrests for Republicans tampering with ballots. The True Voter Fraud is being committed by Republicans.
In Clackamas County Oregon, a Republican election worker is alleged to have tampered with ballots,
On October 19th Colin Small, an employee of the Republican Party of Virginia, was charged with four counts of destruction of voter registration applications, eight counts of failing to disclose voter registration applications and one count of obstruction of justice.
In Nevada,
Of course, the true aim of the Right is Voter Suppression. Right-Wingers have wanted to disenfranchise and restrict the voting rights of some Americans since 1980. The less who vote the more easily power can be concentrated in the hands of the Wealthy Plutocracy.
But, what is rampant are instances and arrests for Republicans tampering with ballots. The True Voter Fraud is being committed by Republicans.
In Clackamas County Oregon, a Republican election worker is alleged to have tampered with ballots,
The underlying allegation is that the woman, whose name has not been released, filled in blanks on ballots turned into the county for the Nov. 6 general election.
Sources familiar with the incident say their understanding is that the woman filled in a straight Republican ticket on the ballots where preferences had been left blank by voters.Republicans have been caught committing Voter Fraud, on multiple occasions, this election.
On October 19th Colin Small, an employee of the Republican Party of Virginia, was charged with four counts of destruction of voter registration applications, eight counts of failing to disclose voter registration applications and one count of obstruction of justice.
In Nevada,
Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller's office is reporting that a southern Nevada woman has been arrested on charges of trying to vote more than once.
According to the secretary, the state's Election Integrity Task Force arrested 56-year-old Roxanne Rubin, a registered Republican, late Friday afternoon at the Riviera Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.In Ohio, a reported "glitch" caused thousands to have their absentee ballot requests incorrectly rejected,
Secretary of State Jon Husted has acknowledged that a data-sharing glitch between his office and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles likely caused some absentee-ballot applications to be wrongfully rejected because county boards did not have up-to-date information on registrants’ addresses.
If the math holds up, he said, as many as 4,500 registered voters will not receive absentee ballots they requested. As many as 6,000 provisional ballots cast by registered voters could go uncounted, Norman Robbins, research director at Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates, said.
Oh goodness. It's trite statement to make that if Sec of State Husted had a D after his name instead of an R, Faux News, Deadbart, Tucker Carlson and the Drudge Report would be alleging a massive conspiracy by President Obama.
Husted has also instituted a last minute change to the provisional ballot system contrary to Ohio Law and in violation against an Oct 26th Court Ruling, making Voter reponsible for ID requirements instead of poll workers.
Husted has also instituted a last minute change to the provisional ballot system contrary to Ohio Law and in violation against an Oct 26th Court Ruling, making Voter reponsible for ID requirements instead of poll workers.
And the Whale of all Voter Frauds is Nathan Sproul, who has worked for the RNC in 2004, 2008, and 2012 has collected Millions of Dollars in funding from conservatives.
In Florida, Sproul organization is under investigation for registration fraud. Sproul is also associated with Colin Small and the Republican Party of Virginia and is still conducting registration and voter-canvassing for Republicans in 30 states.
But, these don't get mentioned on Faux News or in the incestous amplification of the circle jerk repostings of the Alternate Conservative Reality blogs.
Of course, the true aim of the Right is Voter Suppression. Right-Wingers have wanted to disenfranchise and restrict the voting rights of some Americans since 1980. The less who vote the more easily power can be concentrated in the hands of the Wealthy Plutocracy.

Dinesh D'souza had a fling with Ann Coulter and others and probably gave his Wife Herpes
You live by the posion pen you die by the posion pen. Dinesh D'souza has made a career of the politics of personal destruction beginning at Dartmouth where he outed Gay Students and continuing until today with his slanders and smears of President Obama.
D'souza has resigned from his position at King's College as some details of his icky and despicable adultery have come to light. D'souza attended a christian conference in September with a 29 year old whom he identified as his fiancee. Dinesh is still married.
To Dinesh's credit he didn't have this affair while his curent wife was lying in a Hospital bed dying of cancer like Newt Gingrich.
D'souza has been sucking off wing-nut welfare since Reagan was President, having been paid to write Liberals were responsible for 9/11:

And that homosexuals and the sexual immodesty of Liberals were responsible for Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney's Torture Programs at Abu Gharib.The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11. [T]he cultural left and its allies in the media, Congress, Hollywood, the non-profit sector and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world.
The Board of King's College was mad at Dinesh because instead of working he's spent the last 2 years trying to Destroy President Obama with his book The Roots of Obama's Rage and movie 2016: Obama's America.
D'souza's thesis, if one wishes to call a concoction of smear, lies and innuendos a "thesis" is: Barack Obama is ruled by the African Muslim Ghost of his Dead Father to overthrow and Kill White Business Owners.
"Obama has a dream, a dream from his father, the sins of colonialism be set right and America be downsized."Meanwhile, it makes me appreciate Barack and Michelle strong committed loving marriage.
Of course, this is how Conservatives create their Alternate Reality for their duped followers. A scumbag despicable puke like D'Souza or Brent Bozell or Jerome Corsi is put on retainer to craft lies, insults and smears which are then propogated throughout the Right Wing Universe. When the lies are shown to be false and the orginator of the slanders is shown to be a disgusting smear merchant it doesn't matter because the idea has taken hold and conservatives will fight any attempts to dislodge it.

The GOP 2012 Platform: We Built This! Using Government Funds!
Another glaring act of Right-Wing Hypocrisy in 2012 has centered around President Obama's powerful speech which sought to bring Americans together around the esprit de corps of the American ideal of the shared burden and sacrifice,
Even today a month later Mitt Romney is walking around Iowa claiming, President Obama thinks he's sooooooo great and that you didn't build it!
The sad, completely dishonest and shockingly myopic quailty of those suckered in by the flim-flam snake oil selling Romney and the Republican Party is highlighted by the venue the GOP choose for their WE BUILT THIS Convention.
The GOP Convention is going to be held in the Tampa Bay Times Forum Arena, which was heavily subsidized with tax-payer money. $86 million (62%) of the initial $139 million was tax-payer welfare. Just like Hank Steinbrenner and the Hundreds of Millions of welfare he received for Yankee Stadium III and the $300 million in welfare the billionaire Rickett's Family wants to re-build Wrigley Field.
Now the Republicans don't care because they know their stubbornly stupid, blantantly racist, battered and duped voting base doesn't care to know facts or simply side-steps the cognitive dissonance associated with being a moocher by ignorning or justifying their actions.
Jack Gilchrist, a businessman who stars in the "On His Own" ad for Republican presidential candidate Mitt R-Money, claimed in his ad:
Gilchrist also received a U.S. Small Business Administration loan of around $500,000 in the 1980s, and said that to this day about 10 percent of his business comes from defense-related projects.
Iowan Farmers receive millions in farm subsidizes every year from the Government. But, this can easily be rationalized. It's never Socialism when you're receiving Government Money it's only when those other people do!
UI political-science Associate Professor Tim Hagle said of the "You didn't build that", “It struck a nerve among the small business community and fit right in with the message that Republicans are trying to portray [during this election].”
So, this is going to be the theme of the Republicans in 2012. They are going to play to the rationalization aspects of their voters and massage their egos. Two-faced, Hypocrisy, Shameless Lying, Rationalization core components of the Republican Party.
“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that,” Obama said. “Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet, so then all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.”As is their wont Republicans seized upon the President's words to divide the American People. Because the GOP places Party over Country and Profits over People every single time.
Even today a month later Mitt Romney is walking around Iowa claiming, President Obama thinks he's sooooooo great and that you didn't build it!

Gilchrist also received a U.S. Small Business Administration loan of around $500,000 in the 1980s, and said that to this day about 10 percent of his business comes from defense-related projects.

Two-Faced Paul Ryan secretly begged Obama for Stimulus Funds and publicly blames Obama (Updated)
Update:Republicans love to proclaim the Government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers. What they really mean is the Republican Party should be the Government in charge of picking winners and losers.
Paul Ryan is blaming President Obama for failing to save an auto factory in his Wisconsin Congressional district which closed in 2008, under President George W. Bush.
If only President Obama had the retroactive powers of a Mitt Romney he could have averted all the evil shit Bush and Cheney did to America!
And the "winners" Republicans choose are the Rich.
Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan, like many of his hypocritical right-wing brethren, loudly and publicly blasted the Stimulus and spent years pronouncing it a waste and failure while at the same time secretly requesting those evil federal dollars be spent on their districts.
Rep. Ryan wrote letters in 2009 to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis seeking stimulus grant money for two Wisconsin energy conservation companies. One of them, the nonprofit Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp., later received $20.3 million from the Energy Department to help homes and businesses improve energy efficiency, according to federal records.Cowardly. Shameless. Disgraceful.
In a letter to Chu in December 2009, Ryan said the stimulus money would help his state create thousands of new jobs, save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That contrasted with his public statements denigrating the stimulus program as a "wasteful spending spree." It also conflicts with his larger federal budget proposal, which would slash Energy Department programs aimed at creating green jobs.
But, it's all acceptable in the right-wing universe where a Republican can proudly speak with forked tongue, 'Government can't create jobs!' and 'Mr. President where are the Jobs?'
And their duped and battered conservative voting base eats it up while the Republican Party steals Trillions and subjugates 99% of the world into Corporate Bondage and Wage Slavery.

Hey Tea Party! Mitt Romney spikes the football and takes the credit for the Saving the Auto Industry and creating Government Motors
Professional candidate, Vulture Capitalist Mitt Romney is now spiking the football and taking credit for the Auto Bailout. “So I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry’s come back,” Mitt Romney.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh Tea Party! Remember all that internet bile and vitriol you spewed at President Obama for creating Government Motors? Here's Chicago's own Warner Todd Huston's lambasting President Obama and Government Motors. So what are you going to do now? Blame Mitt Romney for the Auto Bailout or Praise him? Or be the cheap tawdry frauds we all know you are and claim credit while still bashing President Obama for saving millions of American jobs?
Besides the sham Tea Party this whole claim by Mitt Romney is beyond ridiculous. Mitt Romney is a despicable fraud, who profits off of firing Americans and reducing their standard of living. Everyone knows Mitt Romney proclaimed loudly Let Detroit Go Bankrupt. Here's the telling line from Romney,
Romney made his fortune on buying companies laying off workers and selling off assets to artificially raise the "value" of the company and then selling off the husk of a company for profit. This is how Romney and the Hedge Fund Vultures with whom he congregates operate.
Shameless. Years ago I correctly summed up Romney's character [See my post: Uncle Mitty and Blood in the Water].
Update:
A Fantastic Post by Green Eagle, Mitt Romney's Excellent Adventure at Bain Capital, does a great job of summing up Romney's horrid record of killing American jobs to squeeze a few extra bucks for his off-shore accounts and Wall Street portfolios.

It would permit companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs.What Mitt was declaring was let the American workers and Union Labor get shafted while the rump of the companies could be bought up cheaply by Bain Capital and other Vulture Capitalists.

Shameless. Years ago I correctly summed up Romney's character [See my post: Uncle Mitty and Blood in the Water].
It's unbelievable, Romney is The Dauphin of the Republican Aristocratic Kleptocracy, as the Son of a Governor and Presidential Candidate and then a life long college student, draft dodger, "hard working" consultant and now professional politician. Romney has never done an honest days worth of work in his life opting instead to be a professional socialist, a bureaucrat through and through who has lived his life of leisure and largess at the expense of the American Taxpayer. Fittingly as a Republican he is also a Chicken Hawk, bravely wanting to risk the lives of other men's sons while his sons sacrifice for America by trying to get him elected President. His perfect hair is greased with the oily drippings of his rank cowardice.If Romney is elected, you can expect his buddies the 1% of the 1% to reap massive amounts of Tax Payer Assistance while the Poor and Middle Class pay higher taxes and see their pensions, social security and Medicare all funneled into the coffers of the Plutocrats.
Update:
A Fantastic Post by Green Eagle, Mitt Romney's Excellent Adventure at Bain Capital, does a great job of summing up Romney's horrid record of killing American jobs to squeeze a few extra bucks for his off-shore accounts and Wall Street portfolios.

#Occupy Protest in a Box
I'm the Dog who gets beat Man in the Box, Alice in ChainsAs OWS and the #Occupy Movement continues and struggles to make it through the winter, several factors are going to determine if the energy of the Movement is blunted, re-directed or dissipated.
Currently, the reaction to the Police Brutality is at the forefront of many commentators. The influential feminist Naomi Wolf caused quite a stir with her article on the #Occupy crackdowns over at the Guardian. The article caused big traffic, but while to many it smelled false and smacked of hyperbole it's in line with much of Wolf's thought and dovetails succinctly with her 2004 book, The End of America: Letters of Warning to a Young Patriot. (As an update, it seems the reporter, Rick Ellis, who first mentioned the DHS Conspiracy is full of bullshit.)
Right-wingers continue their mission to destroy the #Occupy Movement. One of their major complaints is OWS and the #Occupy Movement should be working within the confines of the law. Now, of course, this is a disingenuous argument on multiple levels.
First, it's a logical fallacy which the Tea Party should specifically disagree with, since the genesis of their name comes from one of the most celebrated "illegal acts" in US History.
However, it also underscores the pure hypocritical phoniness of the ideological underpinnings of Modern Conservative Thought. Since, the election of Barack Obama a large strain of rightwing commentary has focused on "Natural Law" and the moral rightness of disobeying unjust or immoral laws. But, the Right is two-faced when it comes to such arguments for they apply them only when it suits their purposes, which usually is to undercut and delegitimize the elections of Democrats. But, also in service to the Plutocracy's goals of deregulation and privatization. Therefore, when a protest or movement is outside their keen or control the Right always reverts to calls for Authoritarian Tyranny and the destruction of those movements.
This is why the Tea Party faced no concentrated Police and Govenmental Oppression, the Tea Party always was a Top-Down false-front organization quickly subsumed by the 1% to advance the causes of the Rich. Any energy the movement had outside Plutocratic interests was redirected by Rightwing propaganda and limited to arguing over non-issues which would have no impact on the Establishment.
But, the Tea Party has already gone the way of their ideological forefathers, the Know-Nothings. OWS and the #Occupy Movement do not suffer from the TP defects because OWS is grassroots and made up of working and middle class people who are pointing out the underlying problems caused by the control the Richest 1% have on the Government and Society.
And by going outside the guidelines the Establishment has erected regarding political debate (i.e. issues which won't change the fundamentally unfair and corrupted system) they are facing a concerted rightwing media, lobbyist and law enforcement effort to shut them down.
So, making positive connections with the 99% is going to be paramount to keeping OWS vital and vibrant. Unfortunately, regular bloggers are being irked by some of the #OccupyMovements actions.
In a post from Feminisnt, she vents anger at an #OccupySeattle march which hampered her movements in town. Feminisnt points out the March hampered not only her movements but average everyday poor and working class people whom the 99% Movement is supposed to comprise. She also doubts any of the 1% were affected by the Seattle protest march.
I'm not posting this to pick on her, or issue the divisive You are with Us or Against Us, but merely to highlight the disconnect which the 1% have sewn amongst us to keep the 99% divided.
Libertas and Lattes has a bit more vitriol in his post about #Occupy telling the blog-o-sphere if,
"Any of these pale, rat bearded hygiene-free, Che shirt wearing knuckleheads keep me from getting to my place of employment, of home from said place....my fist might accidentally occupy the same space as their face."I don't highlight these two bloggers, who I've read before to throw rhetorical jabs at them. But, merely to point out a few problems.
The #OccupyMovement is facing the problems all Movements do, after the initial glow has worn off how do you connect with people and weld them to your side? Protest Marches are good for reminding people your Movement is still around but as we all saw during the run-up to the Iraq War, they don't mean anything once the Powers That Be (PTB) have decided on a course of action.
#Occupy needs to bring more people over, and it's not going to be through media coverage but from positive interactions with everyday people as they make them aware of what the true causes for the Republican Recession, Rightwing generated Income Inequality and the stagnation and dissolution of the Middle Class.
Thus while the Controllers of the Tea Party played pin the blame on the Black Guy it didn't succeed in convincing any Americans, other than those who were already convinced that President Obama is a secret love child of Malcolm X and Karl Marx born in Kenya. While the 2010 elections went the way of the Republicans, Americans quickly learned zero help was forth coming to them.
"Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks," declared Herman Cain. "If you don't have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself!"But the decades long propaganda effort by FreedomWorks, the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Fund, the Carlyle Group, Faux News has succeeded in creating a sizeable amount of useful idiots who blame Teachers, Unions, the "Welfare Queens" and the unemployed and ignore incidents such as when Former AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg sued the Federal Government for $25 Billion USC. Or that 0.1% - the richest one-thousandth - of American population reap over 50% of the income made on Capital Gains and the executive pay for CEOs has risen to more than 343 times that of the average worker at the company.
Because despite the scoffing at the 99% slogan from rightwingers, who were pre-programed to hate OWS, what they and the 99% need to know is:
1) There is a Club and 2) You are not in it.Because the average amount the Richest 1% will save from the Bush/Obama Tax cuts ($66,384 USC) is greater than the average salary of the 99% ($58,506 USC).

Conservatives Love when Veterans commit Suicide and Cheer when Police Attack Protesters and Veterans
In 2005, when asked about Government spending on Veterans George W. Bush's Pentagon's undersecretary for personnel and readiness, David Chu said, "The amounts have gotten to the point where they are hurtful. They are taking away from the nation's ability to defend itself."Since OWS, Conservatives scum skimmers and smear merchants have made it their mission to destroy the Movement. They do this because OWS and #Occupy are telling the truth about the the Plutocratic Elites and the awfulness of conservatism which, is wittingly aiding the transfer of wealth to the Richest 1% while forcing the 99% into wage slavery.
Every story about OWS on the major conservative sites and thus re-posted on all the group-think rightwing blogs has tried to cast OWS as an extremist movement. Therefore, as the #Occupy Movement has gained steam, the Right has called for what it always calls for, the Violent Crackdown of political opponents by Government Officials.
This is the true nature of Rightwingers. When faced with a political movement they disagree with (although let's be clear the Right hates and fantasizes about killing Liberals and the members of Democratic Party) they immediately call on Power of Government to eliminate their political opposition.
Conservatism is Terrorism. Conservatism is Chicken Hawk Warmongering Cowardice. Conservatism fails and marginalizes minorities, women, LGBT, the impoverished, the sick, those with non-conformist ideas or beliefs and, yes, the Veterans they pretend to fawn over.
"They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you’re a part, and so am I." - Bill O'Reilly, May 29, 2007.If the Rightwing was consistent the images of Police violently beating OccupyCal Protesters would get them out in the streets.
If the Rightwing weren't hypocrites the stories of Marine Corps Iraq Veterans Scott Olsen and Kayvan Sabeghi wounded while exercising their Constitutional Rights would be a Cause Celebre. Instead conservative chicken hawk liar Jim Hoft, slandered Olsen, until it was shown the Hoft's slanders were not about the Marine Corps Vet Scott Olsen, then just like all rightwing smear merhcants, Hoft doubled down.
If the Rightwing actually cared about to help Veterans instead of turning a blind eye to their endemic plight of homelessness and suicide, they'd push for increased taxes on Corporate Thieves who use the military to increase their bottom line and then slyly leave the physically and mentally broken Vets to be taken care of by the government.
Instead, the recent suicide of Veteran at the OccupyVermont camp has been used by Conservatives as a call for ending the #OccupyMovement. The only Veteran Conservatives love is a dead Veteran. Because then Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity can stick their perverted inhuman ideology onto the lips of the dead Veterans, as they did with Pat Tillman. But, when it turns out Tillman was anti-war and fought against every part of the despicable conservative policies. Toxic conservative garbage Ann Coutler will simply say, "I don't believe it." Chicken Hawk Hannity concurs, "I don't believe it either."
And that is why even though Veterans are joining the ranks of OWS, because if one group can see how the American Capitalist system chews up and spits out people it is Veterans. So, Sean Hannity calls Veterans and Teachers at the OWS Protests, "Skinhead Nazi Pyschos". Andrew Breitbart compares OWS to Al Qaeda and 9/11.
Instead of actually listening to OWS, the Rightwing is fixated on President Obama. The Right is furiously trying to proclaim OWS as Obama and Rahm "Chicago-Style Gangster Politics". Proving first that they know nothing about OWS, #Occupy in general, and OccupyChi specifically.
It's fright you hear belching forth from the conservative toxic garbage mouths. They are bereft of ideas. Conservatism is a zombie philosophy espoused by bigots, charlatans, crooks and elitists to flatter their 1% Masters and enslave the 99%. OWS has them scrambling. #Occupy is resonating with more Americans everyday who are rejecting the Plutocratic Neo-Feudalist system conservatives are rabidly defending.

Darrell Issa Investigates! Learns Solyndra and Gunwalking are George W. Bush's Fault
Darrell Issa, the richest man in Congress, has been fighting furiously to pin the blame for the Republican Recession onto President Obama. But, what Issa has uncovered is all the colossal screw-ups in DC rest in the bushwhacking hands of George Bush. Heh heh heh heh.
Solyndra and the ATF Gunwalking scheme Fast and Furious were begun under the auspices of the George Bush Regime. And as Republicans always do they bungled both these tasks and then hid the information from the incoming Obama Presidency.
The Solyndra loan guarantee was a multi-year process that the Bush Administration launched in 2007. In January 2009, Bush tried to strong-arm the Department of Energy into pushing the Solyndra loan before a credit review board, to show how much Bush loved Clean Energy. Read here for a Timeline of Solyndra Loan.
Under George W. Bush, the process of Mexican "Gun Walking" was known as Operation: Wide Receiver. It started in 2006 under Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and ran until the end of 2007 culimating in Zero Arrests.
Now, you never heard about these Bush Era Failures because in 2006 and 2007 Bush was ramping up the Iraq War and conservatives were using the War to attack Liberals. It's unbelievable the amount of damage the Republicans can do to the Nation in pursuit of servicing their Plutocratic Overlords. They have been eating the seed corn and any other number of cliched colloquiasms about short-sightedness you can think of!
The Republican Party is Anti-American. The Republican Party is the epitome of Evil.
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." ~ George W. Bush, May 24, 2005.Solyndra! Solyndra! Gunwalking! Gunwalking!

'I'll be whomever you want me to be,' Republican Joe Walsh
Anyway You Want ItScion of Family Values and Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh was awarded True Blue pro-family status by Tony Perkins' Family Research Council. Walsh proclaimed,
That's the Way You Need It
Anyway You Want It ~ Journey
"I am proud and honored to be recognized by the Family Research Council as the only member from Illinois with a 100 percent pro-family voting record."Okay. What a joke!
Before, getting to the details do you know what the best thing about this story is? OWS and the 99 have made Joe Walsh irrelevant! Joe Walsh had dreams of becoming the next Newt Gingrich or at least Michele Bachmann. But, Joe isn't going to win re-election, and in one years time he'll be reduced to hawking his wares to whatever lobbyist firm or off-hour Rightwing news station will have him.
Joe Walsh is a beloved Tea Party Freshman, that is he is loved by people outside his district. In his district Walsh is basically playing out the string. Walsh has no ideas, Walsh has advanced no issues, and Walsh has done nothing to help his constituents. But, Tea Party racists love him because Walsh made youtube videos and MSNBC appearances this year screaming Obama is Black! and "American Jews aren't Pro-Israel enough."
Now, an amusing thing about Joe Walsh is his record. If the Tea Party knew about his previous political record and the long list of personal and financial disasters, disregard for the law and political positions they would... Well, they would probably not care because IOKIYAR!
What Joe Walsh did in 2010 was cash in on a particular, and now defunct, moment in American politics. Joe Walsh will pretend to be whatever you want as evidenced by the last 3 decades of his career.
During the 1980's Walsh tried to be an actor. And while he was apparently unsuccessful he never stopped acting and this set him up for the future.
In the 1990s when Clinton-ian 'Fiscal Conservative/Social Liberal' catch-phrase was popular, Walsh in one of his runs for office identified himself as such. Walsh even went so far as to use President Clinton's phraseology on abortion, declaring he wanted it safe, rare and legal. I'm sure the Teabaggers would love to know that Joe Walsh and Bill Clinton hold the same ideals.
In the early 2000s, Joe Walsh has had his Illinois Driver's License Suspended, left his wife, stopped caring for his kids and jetted off to Mexico with his mistress.
So, the supreme irony, the absolute inconvertible evidence of Rightwing Hypocrisy, the fact that exposes the lie of so-called Conservative Personal Responsibility is Joe Walsh owes $117,000 dollars in back child support.
When the story broke, Walsh went on the offensive declaring the story was a hit-job on him because he was fighting the good fight in Washington D.C. But, as more evidence grew Walsh tried to throw up some bullshit. First, in a fit of puerile impotence sued his ex-wife for asking for the $117,000 in back child support he hasn't paid. Next, Walsh declared in their October Court appearance that he had a "verbal agreement" with his wife not to pay child support.
As a police officer, having dealt with hundreds of Domestic Dispute calls this "verbal agreement" Walsh cites most likely, went like this,
'Laura? It's Joe. Yeah, F**K You B*tch I ain't paying you any more. Yeah, take it to court! You think a Judge is going to rule against me? I'm a man. Suck it baby.'Please note that my paraphrased Walsh comments are very probably quite accurate as I've listened to Joe Walsh in person and on television often.
After the Court ruled against him, “I don’t know why my ex-wife filed this complaint last December, three weeks after I was elected a U.S. congressman.” Walsh provided $35,000 dollars to fund his 2010 campaign. His ex-wife Laura has been fighting Walsh for 9 years trying to get him to pay money to raise his children. So, yeah Joe tell it to the Judge...

The Perfect Hippie Hypocrisy Fallacy
One of the cries amongst the Defenders of the Rich is the OccupyAmericaRevolution is being conducted by people who use products created by Corporations. Ha ha! Gotcha! You stupid leftist hippies are committing moral hypocrisy. Products are made by corporations.
It reminds me of the time, while I was in the Corps when I asked a fellow devildog how he could justify the deaths of innocents in Iraq. He got kind of upset by that and while we debated around the Just War Theory he ended up, and I'll paraphrase, 'You're an atheist so you get to live a life of debauchery but, you can't chide me on the deaths of innocents because I'm a christian, therefore already ahead of you morally, and asking me to stand against an unjust war and the deaths of innocents is not allowable.'
So Gus Lubin over at Business Insider has a photo of the OWS overlayed with captions highlighting smartphones, clothing and other products being used by the protesters. Ha ha!
It's a variation on the 'You can't be against the Iraq War if you drive a car' and stems from the Fallacy that in order to combat indecency you have to be a paragon of Righteousness.
Well, We are the 99% not the Amish... One need not divest themselves of every modern manufactured product in order to decry inhumane working conditions, rampant pollution, violations of law or union busting behavior by Corporations.
Of course, while the BrandySnifter Class may chuckle while viewing the photoshopped image, the fact is we are not demanding a luddite existence, we are demanding justice, an end to the massive transfer of wealth from the 99% to the 1%, the predatory lending, the criminal derivatives ponzi schemes, the off-shoring of jobs and an end to the attack on Unions, Pell Grants, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
The Rightwing 1% sycophants are demanding those who might protest live the austere lives of aesthetic monks (or Paladins) in order to voice criticism over the Rampant Rapacious Crimes of the Wall Street Thieves and the Trillions of Dollars they've stolen. Of course, it's all part of the plan from the Guardians of the Rich as they attempt to undercut the OccupyAmericaRevolution via any means possible.

Ayn Rand is wrong (I know shocking)
Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. ~ Ayn RandThere's no need to demonstrate her entire philosophical edifice is flawed, I've already demonstrated Rand's Magnum Opus was little more than an attempt to justify her sexual proclivities (see my Ayn Rand Objectively Wrong post here) and her utter hatred for the common man.
This demonstration also does not rest on Rand's hypocrisy of accepting Social Security and Medicare from the US Government, under the name Ayn O'Conner, her jilted husbands' last name.
Instead I will demonstrate and simply that her 1st premise is fundamentally flawed and by her own Objectivist standard her entire Philosophy crumbles.
So here it is. Rand stated one as one of her basic premises: A is A.
Well, A is A is wrong. Just ask any High School Physics student; What is Light? Is light is a wave or a particle?
Well, Light is both a wave and a particle, so therefore A is not A. Rand's theories are really sociology but she liked to pretend and convince everyone that they were hard science.
Robert Anton Wilson amusingly related a story about light and Quantum Mechanics,
With quantum mechanics, you can prove that light is made out of particles experimentally. You can build up a whole mathematical theory of light traveling in little particles called photons, and you can do experiments, and the experiments will give you a pattern showing that light is traveling like particles. We've also got a whole mathematical theory built up showing that light travels as waves, and we've got experiments that will show you that light travels as waves.
As one physicist in the 1920s said, 'It looks as if the damn light is waiting to see how we're going to do the experiment and then deciding which way it's going to travel.' The modified Copenhagen view is light is neither waves nor particles until we look, and then it adjusts itself depending on what we're looking at it with. An electron is not anywhere until we look, and when we look, the electron decides to be somewhere as long as we're looking. As soon as we stop looking, the electron is everywhere again.
No Chinese raised on I Ching has ever found quantum mechanics puzzling. It's only puzzling to people raised on Aristotelian logic where things are either A or not A. In the I Ching, things are A and not A at the same time.
Quantum physics undercuts the entire mendacious objectivist philosophy. So objectivists... Check your premises.

Michele Bachmann's Blemishes *Updated Turns out Bachmann doesn't have a Birth Certificate
In 2008, Michele Bachmann asked for the media to do an exhaustive investigation into every member of Congress. That spotlight has been shone upon her and her icky blemishes are coming to light. Bachmann has tried to cover-up her gross record but not even $4700 dollars of pancake makeup can obscure her blemishes. Sadly, what we've learned of Michele Bachmann is that she and her family are hypocritical big government welfare sucking, religiously insane christian fanatics who lack basic knowledge of America and even a basic sense of human decency.
Bachmann's family has received a Quarter of a Million dollars from the Federal Government over a period of 13 years, in so-called farm subsides. Bachmann's family can't survive in the Free Market so like lazy welfare queens they steal government welfare.
Marcus Bachmann used Medicare payments for the practice of laying upon of hands all over the bodies of young gay men and conducted seance pray-away-the-gay cures for homosexuality. Since 2006, Marcus Bachmann & Associates has received almost $30,000, according to Minnesota state records. The majority ($24K) came in the form of grants, funded mainly by the federal government, from the Minnesota State Department of Human Services.
Bachmann directly applied for and received a $417,000 Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac backed home loan in 2008. After benefiting Michele called for a dismantling of Fanne and Freddie.
It now makes sense why S&P also downgraded Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac since President Bachmann took a pledge to never raise the Debt Ceiling.
While flogging the Obama isn't smart he reads of a teleprompter joke, Bachmann pledged to never read from a Teleprompter and then immediately flubbed her line by calling herself President O'Bachmann.
Bachmann knows the Founding Fathers "worked tirelessly to end Slavery" at Lexington, Alabama and Concord, California. Even though, Bachmann knows Slavery was super duper better for Blacks when she signed a pledge to never allow Marriage equality which included a passage that, of course, black Slaves had better family life under slavery than today. (As an aside, this is a standard motif amongst conservatives that slaves had it better than blacks today along with the idea that liberals are the real racists because they won't tell black people to get a job like their industrious slave ancestors had.)
Bachmann is campaigning upon destroying the "job killing" EPA. And lo and behold Michele Bachmann has, in her capacity as Congresswoman, asked for money from the EPA. Oh, and remember that Failed Obama Stimulus? Well, on sixteen (16) ocassions Bachmann requested that failed Obama Stimulus money!
And even though President Obama is spending too much of the stuff Bachmann is very worried we one day might leave the dollar. She's so worried that one day, "We would give up the dollar as our currency and we would just go with a One World currency," that the only legislation she has ever written has been to ensure the US never "comingles the value of the dollar with the coinage of Zimbawae."
And then there is the god stuff. Michele has said repeatedly god has called upon her to marry her husband, to run for state office, to run for Congress and now to run for the presidency. The voice in her head isn't god's it's is her own and it's the same one that allows her to confuse John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy.
Michele Bachmann and her family are nothing less than anti-American hypocritical fools, zealots and thieves. Dan Savage correctly labelled Michele Bachmann and her family as Grifters and Scumbags.
Oh but, what power those eyes have over Tea Party folks! It doesn't matter how much Bachmann buffoonery is illuminated. Her rank hypocrisy is not an impediment and like most Tea Party folks I bet Bachmann doesn't even see a contradiction between her partaking of Government programs while she works tirelessly to destroy those very programs. Like most Teabaggers, Michele Bachmann, most likely believes she is a self-made superhero who has never used a government program.
*Update*:
Michele Bachmann refuses to show her Long Form Birth Certificate because it turns out she was not born in Iowa along with her twin brother John Wayne Gacy but was born in Canada.

This is What Republicans Believe: They get Medicare, You Don't
Everything done by the Federal Government is Socialism... Unless it benefits Republicans and their Corporate Masters.
Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) had to put the plebs from his district back in their place with a town hall meeting, when some non-Republican person dared to question him!
Medicare, Medicaid aren't "things for free". They are programs which have been bought and paid for by the American People. And what the Republicans and Paul Ryan are trying to do with their 'Here are Some Coupons go out and try to get Cancer Medication' Deathcare plan is steal that money.
On Newt Gingrich's studio home at Meet The Press David Gregory talked about Paul Ryan Deathcare Plan:
It doesn't matter 80% of the American People dislike these Republican policies because the GOP ignores the will of the people and serve the interests of Billionaires. But, the blatant hypocrisy is galling. Republicans don't even care. They lie to cameras, they lie to consitutents, they lie, lie, lie. Because, even if they do get voted out their families financial future is safe and secure. All these 2010 Teabagged Republicans enjoy lifetime pensions. They see no problem in slashing your benefits while ensuring they will continue to get them.
And all they have to do to win this financial security is cosign We, The People to Perpetual Wage Slavery.
And they'll gladly do it with a ready lie on their lips but, by hook or by crook, the Republicans are going to force America into perpetual bondage in service to their Plutocratic Masters,
Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) had to put the plebs from his district back in their place with a town hall meeting, when some non-Republican person dared to question him!
Ilene Johnson, a Democratic activist who lives in Gwinnett County, "You take government-subsidized health care, but you are not obligated to take that if you don’t want to. Why aren’t you going out on the free market in the state where you are a resident and buy your own health care?"Woodall went on to claim, "Folks, if you give people things for free, don’t blame them for taking them." First off stop with the usage of the term 'Folks'. It doesn't make you seem aw, schucks small townish. Second, Woodall probably thought he was winning points with the crowd with his subjects by educating them about how Medicare is a free service for 'welfare queens' but as always Republicans lie.
Rob Woodall, "It’s because it’s free. It’s because it’s free."
Medicare, Medicaid aren't "things for free". They are programs which have been bought and paid for by the American People. And what the Republicans and Paul Ryan are trying to do with their 'Here are Some Coupons go out and try to get Cancer Medication' Deathcare plan is steal that money.
On Newt Gingrich's studio home at Meet The Press David Gregory talked about Paul Ryan Deathcare Plan:
"So, Ruth Marcus, what wins here, bold leadership on Medicare and the argument that the Democrats won't do something courageous or the Democrats who say, hey, those guys want to take away my medicare?"It's Bold! It's Courageous! Forcing old people to try and pay for their healthcare with a quickly devalued coupon? Forcing sick children to get coverage from Insurance Companies which are caught cheating those children out of coverage now:
Illinois Blue Cross and Blue Shield to pay $25 million fraud settlement for denying coverage to sick children in need of nursing care by "fraudulently" shifting their claims to Illinois' Medicaid programBlue Cross (Chicago Tribune Feb 24, 2011)When it comes to Medicare, everyone in America, a nation of 300 Million persons should be aware that the 300 Never-Done-An-Honest -Days-Worth-Of-Labor Republican Bureaucrats have been instructed to destroy it and replace it with Paul Ryan's Deathcare Program.
It doesn't matter 80% of the American People dislike these Republican policies because the GOP ignores the will of the people and serve the interests of Billionaires. But, the blatant hypocrisy is galling. Republicans don't even care. They lie to cameras, they lie to consitutents, they lie, lie, lie. Because, even if they do get voted out their families financial future is safe and secure. All these 2010 Teabagged Republicans enjoy lifetime pensions. They see no problem in slashing your benefits while ensuring they will continue to get them.
And all they have to do to win this financial security is cosign We, The People to Perpetual Wage Slavery.
"Labor is a commodity just like corn or beans or oil or gold, and the value of it needs to be determined by the competition, supply and demand in the workplace," -Steve King (R-IA).You are nothing more than a non-durable good, a cog, in the machines of Industry and War and the Republicans have no problem telling you your value, wage slave.
And they'll gladly do it with a ready lie on their lips but, by hook or by crook, the Republicans are going to force America into perpetual bondage in service to their Plutocratic Masters,
"[O]ne way or the other, either through the Supreme Court or the legislature, these reforms will be put into place," Scott Walker, Koch Governor.

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.

"Don't Retreat! -Reload." Remember there is no Tea Party Orthodoxy
Save the strong lose the weak,Until they need one.
Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody don't be no fool,
Whatever happened to the golden rule
We got stranded,
Caught in the crossfire ~ Stevie Ray Vaughn, Crossfire
Do you remember how when the Tea Party was castigated for it's extreme elements? The racists? The bigots? The militia members? Those declaring themselves "Sovereign Citizens"? The Oathbreakers? The Birthers? The Tenthers? The ones declaring the Obama Government and the President himself to be illegitimate?
Well, after each incident some group with Tea in their name like, Tea Party Nation or Tea Party Central or I want to Tea Party All the Time would state with finality the 'Tea Party movement has no structure and no hierarchy'.
Well, that was until a Tea Party inspired murderous bastard acted upon the core message of the Tea Party. Then no less than Senator Lamar Alexander and Congressman Trent Franks, two Republicans who have been ensconced in Washington DC for DECADES, can go on national tv and declare, the murderer doesn't fit the profile of a Tea Party member and anyone who mentions Sarah Palin is responsible for the murders.
First, of course this murderer fits the profile of a Tea Party member, with his fear of a government, illiterate pleas for the sovereignty of the individual versus the state and his gold backed currency mumblings. And he's a registered Independent, which until now, has been cherished by the Right as meaning Tea Party member.
But, second, how can two career Republican politicians speak for the Tea Party? We've been told for years the Tea Party is not affiliated with the Republican Party.
What Alexander and Franks made clear is what has been known for a long time, the Tea Party is the Terrorist arm of the Republican Party. They had a mission, which was crafted at the upper levels, and passed along in memos to cause disruptions, instill fear and allude to gun play and violence, in an effort to frighten and terrorize Democrats and Liberals. Here is Dick Armey's vision of political discourse from the 2009 Tea Party Healthcare Insurance Reform attacks:
- "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.”That is what Republicans do immediately when they are out of power.
– “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.”
"I believe in this movement ... America is ready for another revolution," - Sarah Palin at the 2010 Tea Party Convention.Now, that another Tea Party inspired terrorist incident has occurred the push back is coming from all levels on the Right. Faux News spent the entire day attacking liberals, especially Sheriff Clarence Dupnik for pointing out the obvious, when you use violence and guns in your political language when you declare your opponent is an enemy and invoke the idea of armed overthrow of the democratically elected government you are Responsible!
Meanwhile, the Tea Party could care less about the murders and anguished families and are spending all their time attacking liberals. The Tea Party Express had this to say:
It is quite clear that liberals are trying to exploit this shooting for their own political benefit, and they used deception and dishonesty to try and smear all of us and our beliefs.Now clearly, this murderous bastard is responsible for his actions but Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, Freedomworks and the organizations under the Tea Party umbrella have created a climate and stoked the fires which, most likely, served as the spark for his terrorist act.
They are responsible for the Tea Party Massacre in Tucson.

In Crafting an Alternate History, Republicans and Conservatives show they Hate America
Power don't come from a badge or a gun. Power comes from lying. Lying big and gettin' the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you've got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, you've got 'em by the balls. ~ Senator Roark, Republican, Sin CityConservatism has gone morally bankrupt. Besides the murders and increasing Terrorist attacks by Conservatives and the Right Wing blogosphere furiously trying to disavow any connection to the violence they nurtured and helped grow, Republicans have consciously severed any ties to the past which sought to aid Americans and help this Nation. Because the modern Republican Party cares for themselves and their Ultra-Rich Masters, and the conservative dupes who support the GOP are an insular group of bigots who choose to believe that only white, christian heteronormative persons are "Real America".
Conservatism was rejected by the Founding Fathers. Otherwise the east coast of America would be a part of the Commonwealth. The Founding Fathers first started off with the idea that they were proper Englishmen and wanted to be treated as such, the word American was a slur amongst the British at the time. But, that ended with the adoption of a new ideal, while imperfect, with the creation of a secular land wherein, at first only a select group of people, but over time an increasing number were given enumerated Rights and Freedom.
But, Michele Bachmann and the Republican Menace must change history books and lie constantly. And Republicans lie big. The Republican Party recently staged a sham reading of the entire Constitution to kick off the 112th Congress. Oddly, the Republicans decided to skip some parts, specifically the parts about slavery.
Well, that's no problem! Just get Glenn Beck and Faux News to trot out a standard Republican lie about Slavery in the Constitution; The 3/5ths person slavery rule was actually to destroy slavery! But, if that's the case why didn't a new GOP Congressional Freshman proudly read that part of the Constitution? Because everyone knows that Republicans are pro-slavery. Their entire platform is a ceaseless push to destroy Unions, race to the lowest salaries and institute wage slavery on the American people.
During Obama's Presidency their evil cynicism has become evident. President Obama declared the Constitution was a flawed document, Laura Ingraham and Faux News have spent years attacking him for that statement. Yet, as the recent sham reading indicates, Republicans themselves believe the document to not be the perfect revealed word. But, to continue to dupe their ignorant base of bigoted voters they fetishize the Constitution. Republicans will go through any lengths, shamelessly adopt viewpoints and positions diametrically opposed to those they espoused a year or day earlier, and vote against any and all legislation which would aid the American People merely to re-gain political power.
Ronald Reagan famously stated the following, "maybe I should go see Andropov and propose eliminating all nuclear weapons" and "my dream is to see the day when nuclear weapons will be banished from the face of the Earth". Yet, when President Obama said,
“I state clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons”and took up the issue of limiting Nuclear proliferation and the START Treaty the Republican Party couldn't attack him fast enough. The Republican Party is stocked with shameless liars.
The Republican Party's job is to lie about everything. Lying gives Republicans power because whenever people learn the truth about Republican policies they lose consistently. So Republicans lie about everything from the ridiculous to the sublime.
The ridiculous; Judith Miller who reported verbatim everything Dick Cheney told her about Iraq's vast amounts of Nuclear Weapons as a casus belli for invading Iraq, recently chided Julian Assange as a bad journalist for not verifying his sources in the Wikileaks controversy.
"My job is to tell readers of The New York Times what the government thought about Iraq's arsenal."The sublime; The Republican Party plans to vote to Repeal Obamacare and reduce the debt. The Congressional Budget Office released an estimate that Repealing Healthcare Insurance Reform would add $230 Billion USC to the National Debt. So what do the Republicans do? Why they lie. Republicans have to continuously create false narratives to keep their base of battered conservative voters motivated and deluded.
Weapons of Mass Destruction, ACORN, "Climategate", Birtherism, the New Black Panther Party, Homosexuality, Obamacare are all issues the Republicans talk about to cover their true goal which is this:
US Census data for 2010 show the widest rich-poor income gap on record. In 1968, the top 20 percent of Americans had about 7 times the income of those living below the poverty line. By 2008, that disparity had grown to about 13. By 2010, it had grown even further, to more than 14.Lying it's the stock and trade of the Republican Party. But, it is for a purpose to beat down the Middle Class and Poor into a state of penury and a return to the Pullman Towns of the 19th century.
America has gone from the cherished mythical Land of the Free to the Land with the Biggest Income Disparity in the Western World. Get used to those chains America cause the Republicans are forging them and the conservatives are fastening them about you as quickly as they can...
