A Racist Rant from Rip Off Artist Kid Rock

"Hey! You're talking to my guy all wrong. It's the wrong tone... Do it again; I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron." - Christopher Walken sums up what everyone should say when Kid Rock starts talking. 
Will Trump fondle these trousers as he does other US flags?
Kid Rock's original popularity was a great mystery to me. Immediately upon hearing "his" hit songs, I said they were rip-offs. When I heard the song "Cowboy" 20 years ago, I thought he stole "Magic Bus" from The Who and Kid Rock is rightly called the ultimate rip-off artist. Robert James Ritchie* is no more a musician than Vanilla Ice.

But, instead of Vanilla Ice it appears Bob Jim Ritchie is ideologically aligned with Chickenhawk coward Child raping conservative Ted Nugent as Ritchie went on a drunken racist tirade against Oprah Winfrey, Joy Behar, and Kathie Lee Gifford.

Of course, Bob Jim Ritchie didn't mean Kathie Lee Gifford but, Ritchie can't be bothered because he's one of the elect; a conservative musician "star".

But, don't expect conservatives to abandon Kid Rock over this; the comments at TMZ mirror and amplify Ritchie's racist vulgar rant. In fact, conservatives relish the opportunity to deny Kid Rock is racist, ignore his history of flag desecration in order to engage in their favorite pastime; trolling and crafting disingenuous arguments to #OwntheLibs.

How the battle over Overtime, Minimum Wage, Obamacare, Paul Ryan's wistful longings for Slavery illustrate the Republican Plan to Oppress Americans

"The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty" - Pope Francis
President Obama stated this week, he intends to use his Executive Authority to direct the Labor Department to revamp its regulations to require overtime pay for several million additional fast-food managers, loan officers, computer technicians and others whom many businesses currently classify as executive or professional employees to avoid paying them overtime, according to White House officials briefed on the announcement.

Everyone who works knows the day upper management comes to you and says we'd like to put you on the management ladder and make your position salaried is the day you start doing double the work for the same amount of pay. One way Corporations have slashed the income of their employees is by engaging in a duplicitous game of Salaried vs. Hourly Wage workers. Salaried workers can be compelled, coerced, cajoled and cornered into working 60, 70, 80 or more hours a week, without being compensated for the extra work they are doing. And why would any company hire another employee when they cam get you to Work for Free...
"This is a vast expansion of the Government's power to dictate income in the private sector. This is redistribution by Executive Order. I don't think it helps the economy at all. Oh, I just exceeded my 40 hours, I’m due overtime. And if I don’t get it, I’m going to sue." - Stuart Varney, Faux News resident Upper Class Twit of the Year.
Listen to his three minutes of Tory Nonsense; Actually paying people for their labor is Redistribution, workers don't equal the economy and 'Obama's a Dictator'!

Businesses have tasked Republicans with lowering the pay and benefits of the American Workers and the Right has lustfully embraced this task. For 35 years the Reactionary Right has steadily undermined American labor, reduced the standard of living and pushed more and more Americans into poverty.

The Modern Republican Party has one purpose; to grind down 99% of Americans into unbreakable poverty under the control of Undying Corporate People. The Republican Party has undertaken a journey to re-enslave the American People.

Everything Republicans do is to bring about a Ultra-Reactionary Neo-Feudalist Slave State, whether they are aware of it or not, in which the Middle Class is stripped of their wealth, health and future, the Working Class and Poor is made to know that Government will never help them and an Era of Unbreakable Corporate Bondage is enacted.

Anything which ameliorates this condition is anathema to them and must be fought eternally, no matter the cost.

Obamacare, flawed and sabotaged by Republican villains and Democratic quislings, nonetheless has helped millions and placed the Nation towards modern healthcare coverage.

Which is precisely why the Republican Party and their Plutocratic Masters has engaged in the despicable campaign of deceit and villainy to destroy it.

With the collapse of all their Obamacare Horror stories, like Bette from Cathy McMorris-Rodgers SOTU response, the Koch Brothers financied Americans for Prosperity rolled out Julie Boonstra a cancer sufferer. Boonstra explicitly stated Obamacare and her Representative Gary Peters was going to kill her by making her Leukemia medicine unaffordable. Julie Boonstra was paying $13,200 a year plus non-covered co-pays, prescription drugs and other out-of-pocket expenses.

When Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan crunched the numbers for Julie Boonstra's new plan adding up to $11,900 including the previously uncovered put-of-pocket expenses Boonstra said the idea that it would be cheaper, "can’t be true. I personally do not believe that."

Julie Boonstra and American Conservatives illustrate is the Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Conservatives have sought or allowed themselves to become "Sub-oppressors",
"the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or "sub-oppressors". The very structure of their thought has been conditioned by the contradictions of the concrete, existential situation by which they were shaped. Their ideal is to be men; but for them, to be men is to be oppressors. This is their model of humanity." Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970 pg. 27)
Some GOPers appear to be just ignorant of their Party's true goals, like Deb Sanderson of Maine who thinks taking healthcare away from people "maybe it will incentivize some folks" to pick up extra work and earn more money.

They nonetheless follow along while the evil, vindictive villains of the Republican Party, like Paul Ryan, who after hiding with his tail tucked following his butt-whopping by Mighty Joe Biden and President Obama, has roared back to the forefront of his vicious racist Party,
"We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work, and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with."
What Paul Ryan is alluding to is his and the Republican Party earnest desire a return to the America of the Idyllic Days of 19th century. To put "Y'all back in Chains."

Reduce the minimum wage, allow business owners the ability to dictate what you can and can not purchase with your salary, stealing your pension, limiting you medical care options, ensuring businesses need not compensate you for hours of labor; Republicans have steadily been moving the Nation towards Slavery. 

While the Upper Echelons of the Republican Party are on par with members of the Plutocracy, the evil, vicious Oppressors, the rank and file conservative and Republican Party member is someone who has internalized the thinking of his controller and is as oppressed as those whom they seek to shackle with the chains of slavery.
"This, then is the great humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves and their  oppressors as well. The oppressors, who oppress, exploit, and rape by the virtue of their power, cannot find in this power the strength to liberate either the oppressed or themselves. Only the power that springs from the weakness of the oppressed will be sufficiently strong to free both. Any attempt to "soften" the power of the oppressor in deference to the weakness of the oppressed almost always manifests itself in the form of false generosity; indeed, the attempt never goes beyond this. In order to have continued opportunity to express their "generosity", the oppressors must perpetuate injustice as well. An unjust social order is the permanent fount of this "generosity", which is nourished by death, despair, and poverty. This is why dispensers of false generosity become desperate at the slightest threat to its source. True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the causes which nourish false charity." Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970 pg.26).
True Freedom cannot come from a Top-Down system. The Democratic Party despite being exponetianlly better than the Republican Party is not the savior. If the working class is to free itself from the Oppression by the Koch Brothers, Bruce Perkins, Foster Friess, Sam Zell, and their Reactionary Vulture Capitalist System, much like the Labor Movement of the 19th and early 20th century we'll have to overcome them by Ourselves.

If only Republicans vote, then the only votes will be for Republicans

I have Healthcare Coverage from Goldman Sachs.
Don't bother me with your Poverty.
Image from Bildungblog
Republicans across the United States are super mad because a Republican official in North Carolina, revealed what they are doing.

Aasif Mandvi of The Daily Show conducted an interview with state GOP executive committee member Don Yelton, who has since been fired, where Yelton claimed there are "one or two" cases of individuals double voting but the new North Carolina voting law, which mandates voter identifications, the curtailing of early voting operations and does not allow college students to vote using their school ID, "is going to kick the Democrats in the butt." He also off-handedly dismissed concerns that the law will particularly affect communities of color by saying because his "best friend is black" and "If it hurts a bunch of lazy Blacks that want the government to give them everything, so be it."
"Are you fuckin' kiddin' me? You don't ever admit the existence of this thing. Ever!" ~ Frank Vincent, The Sopranos
Republicans have long given up making cogent, reasoned arguments for their positions. "Let'em Die!" They've given up trying to justify the crushing income inequality, massive transfer of wealth upwards, oppression and subjugation of the Working Class from the economic policies the Right uses to create a Neo-Feudalist State.

Over the summer Republican Rob Gleason of Pennsylvannia positively gushed over the Right-Wing efforts to disenfranchise Americans who vote imcorrectly, "We probably had a better election. Think about this, we cut Obama by 5 percent, which was big. ... He beat McCain by 10 percent, he only beat Romney by 5 percent. I think that probably photo ID helped a bit in that."

Republicans can no longer win elections honestly. They know it. For years, simply relying on low voter turnout meant victories for Republicans. But, now they've lost 5 of the last 6 Presidential elections. In 2012 Republican Congressional Candidates received 1.5 million fewer votes than Democratic ones. And their strategy of appealing to Angry White Bigots for votes is facing demise because of demographics.
"We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term." - Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
Their efforts are now turned towards disenfranchising voters in order for them retain power.

Voter Supression is now the norm of Republicans because for too long the wrong people have been voting. By, whitling dow the voting base Republicans can ensure they remain in power long enough to destroy Democracy and enforce the Will of the Plutocrats upon the Nation.

It's one of the reasons the Plutocracy has tasked their Republican goon squads destroy the Middle Class. A stable, financially secure middle class can not be counted on to vote the way the Corporate Oligarchs desire. And to Republican Guard Dogs, conservative "thinkers" and their Rich Masters the mere act of Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American.
Registering them to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals. It is profoundly antisocial and un-American...
The Poor and Working Class shouldn't vote. Voter ID is nothing more than the newest and slickest tool Republicans have adopted to ensure the Right People Vote and the Right wins the Vote.

Stand with Rand! Stand with Rand! Stand with Rand! Dixieland!

Advance the flag of Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah!
In Dixie's land we take our stand, and live or die for Dixie! - The Campaign Song of Rand Paul

So, as Rand Paul's intimate connection with Jack "The Southern Avenger" Hunter, an unabashed White Power Neo-Confederacy Racist, stays in the News Cycle. Rand is trying to figure out how to minimize the damage.

So, Rand hit upon the awesome explanation while being interviewed by Howard Fineman. The Confederate Flag is like Smoking Pot once! And "I've got a lot of people working for me"! And "can't people have a Youth and Stuff"! And "Wet- T-Shirt Contests"!

Now, if Paul meant the Confederate Flag was only fit for Burning then I agree with his Pot analogy but, we all know everything Rand Paul says is geared to ensure the Rand the Grifter keeps on Grifting.

You see Rand Paul is not interested in governing or creating a more perfect Union but in lining his pockets with money fleeced from duped and ignorant rubes. As such his "principled" Stand Against DroneZ or his much bally-hooed sojourn to Howard University to whitesplain the merits of the Republican Party and his nonsense explanations about the Southern Avenger are nothing more than gimmicks to keep the money flowing to his pockets.

It's just rotten luck for Rand Paul, just like his father, that these Neo-Confederate, white supremacists, StormFront affiliated racists keep finding their way into their inner circles? Jeez, staunch State's Rights Proponents just can't seem to catch a break!

Conservative Chickenhawks Scream about Marines and Umbrellas (Update: Photo Evidence)

Conservatives are sack less wonders. Despite not having the moral or physical courage to serve the country in Uniform, Right-Wing nutjobs believe they understand the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Military Dress Codes.

Conservative racists are in a frenzy because Marines held umbrellas above the heads of President Obama and the Turkish Prime Minister during a rainy press conference.

M. Joseph Sheppard wrote an article for the Daily Caller about Umbrella-Gate which Free Republic and the Right-Wing Fart Bubble duly sucked in and regurgitated amongst themselves. 'Obama is demeaning and Demoralizing the Marine Corps!'

Of course, they don't understand JJ Did Tie Buckle because their cousin JJ can't even tie his shoes.

They pulled the same unhinged 'President Obama is demeaning the Office of the President' garbage when official White House photos showed Barack with his suit jacket off or with his feet propped up on the desk. Because Ronald Reagan never was in the Oval Office with his jacket off! And could you imagine the furor from Liberals if George W. Bush desecrated the Office by propping his feet up?!?

This is a consistent theme from the Right during Obama's Presidency. Republicans and conservatives have taken it upon themselves to destroy Barack Obama. And they see a successful way of doing this by causing as much turmoil and anger so that in years to come they can state 'Remember all the problems when Obama was President?' Hoping, most likely correctly, that people won't recall that conservative liars were the cause of all the fuss in the first place.

Conservatives have the mind set of Domestic Abusers, in that they blame the person they are attacking as being to blame for their attacks.

Despite all their proclamations, much of the vitriol directed at Obama is for the unforgivable sin of Presidenting While Black.

What is obvious, however, is that conservatives loathe President Obama but lack the moral fiber to proclaim it themselves, which is why they hide behind their thin sheens of 'Obama is demeaning the Office of the President' or 'Obama is demeaning the Marines'.

Conservative Cowards lack the stones to come out and say it themselves and, in this case, have to pretend they speak for the USMC.

CPAC 2013: Unchaining the Inner Racist in Every Conservative

Republicans continue to be racist assholes. And why not? Besides Grifters and Plutocrats the only other groups which aligns with conservative "thinking" are bigots and racists.

Right-Wing Pigs went whole hog racist during a CPAC 2013 panel entitled: Trump the Race Card: Are You Sick And Tired Of Being Called A Racist When You Know You’re Not One?

A spokesman for the Frederick Douglass Republicans, K. Carl Smith, was brought into CPAC  to allow Right-Wingers to engage in their favorite pastime of bad faith denialism of their rampant bigotry.

While Smith spoke, Scott Terry while flanked by his Confederate-flag festooned compatriot Matthew Heimbach, rose to complain the Republican Party was alienating, "young Southern white males" and the minorities were "systematically disenfranchising” him and whites. He then scoffed when Smith spoke of Frederick Douglass forgiving his former slave masters, "For giving him shelter? And food?"

Conservatives believe that Slavery was Good because it exposed Africans and their descendants to America. And experiencing American Exceptional ism is worth anything, or so those who've benefited from slavery and continue to count White Privilege as the natural state of America.

When the lone black woman in attendance, objected to the idea that Slavery was great, the entitled white crowd shouted her down and Smith declared her "intentionally disruptive and coercive". The Tea Party Racists blamed the entire episode on her temerity.

But, remember conservatives know they're not racists. Conservatives stand in principled opposition to President Obama; Race has nothing to do with it!

Of course, one need not look further than CPAC last year. Remember those Awesome White "Rappers" Steven Crowder* and Chris Loesch at CPAC 2012? When their Mr. America "song" reached it's apex they yelled Ni-[clang], pretending they we're saying “knickers.”
 "What? Knickers? I can say ‘knickers’ because I wear knickers.”
During the run-up to the 2012 election, Rick Santorum told Iowa Republicans,
"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."
Of course, it doesn't matter that 9% of the those on food stamps in Iowa are black because the truth is conservatives know they're not racist!

Representative Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) who called the massive $2,000,000,000,000+ Iraq War Swindle "Just and Noble" is peeved about that darn steak-eating Obama wanting to give hard-working rich white people's money to Santorum Blahhh people,
"We can't keep increasing taxes every three months just because Barack Obama wants more welfare spending."
Sometimes conservatives use coded-language instead of saying "knee grow" or "knickers". Mitt Romney's campaign spoke of Obama not understand Our shared history with England,
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage. The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
John Sununu pouted throughout 2012 he wished, "this President [Obama] would learn how to be an American." Sununu must have felt it was hard for Obama to understand how to be an American since he's "lazy" and "disengaged".

Newt Gingrich, that expansive southern gentleman who's been "earning" tax-payer money for 35 years, picked up when Sununu wore himself out from working so hard,
“I’m assuming that there’s some rhythm to Barack Obama that the rest of us don’t understand. Whether he needs large amounts of rest, whether he needs to go play basketball for a while or watch ESPN..." 
But, the svelte Roger Ailes really pointed out Obama's laziness, 
“Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money. How many fundraisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time. He’s lazy, but the media won’t report that.”
State Representative Kris Crawford a Republican from Florence, South Carolina knows what the GOP needs to do,
“The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party.”
Of course, in South Carolina Republicans don't just hate President Obama but all black people including the dead. Todd Kincannon, the former executive director for the South Carolina Republicans, claimed the murdered Trayvon Martin would have grown up to be a gay prostitute for drug money. What he wrote was so offensive I'm not going to re-write it here.

There are so many more incidents originating top-down from Republican Leadership but also bubbling up from the diseased recesses of the conservative id.

So, it’s no wonder Right-Wing White Racists think they are the most oppressed people ever. They keep listening to their leaders who tell them they are.

*- Steve Crowder got punched in the head while covering Union protests in Michigan. Well, the man who punched him is not going to be charged because, surprise, surprise once full non-Faux video footage of the incident was reviewed it was clear the protestor was defending himself.

The Reason Conservatives love Corporation like Hostess

Because it allows them to be as racist and criminal as they want to be.
"I believe in free enterprise. I don't think the government should be telling people what you pay and what you don't pay. I think it's about freedom. If someone wants to hire somebody and they agree on a salary, that's fine, however it wants to work. So, the government sticking its nose into all kinds of things has gotten us into huge trouble." - Todd Akin (Loser- MO) stated in a vile comment less well known than his Pro-Rape positions.
Hostess Brands Inc. filed for Bankruptcy (again for they did in 2004 when Conservatives claim Bush was leading an Awesome Economic Boom) citing employees refusal to accept further reductions in pay and further company raiding of their pensions.

If Hostess wanted to use slaves chained to their ding dong machines or have children stuff the gooey nutritious filling into twinkies with their tiny fingers or pay their employees in Company Scrip while the monies set aside for pensions are raided to provide the CEO and Upper Managment with a Golden Parachute I ask you!!! Who is Government to interfere? That's the Free Market!

Certainly, Senator Mike Lee of Utah a Guard Dog of the Plutocracy believes Child Labor Laws are Unconstitutional.

Here is the final offer Hostess made to its' employees before declaring Bankruptcy,
1) 8% hourly pay cut in year 1 with additional cuts totaling 27% over 5 years. Currently, I make $16.12 an hour at TOP rate of pay in the bakery. I would drop to $11.26 in 5 years. 
2) They get to keep our $3+ an hour forever. 
3) Doubling of weekly insurance premium. 
4) Lowering of overall quality of insurance plan. 
5) TOTAL withdrawal from ALL pensions. If you don't have it now then you never will.
Government puts up all these fake rules like "hostile work environment" and "minimum wage" and "taxes" and "discrimination" and "Maternity Leave" and "criminal sexual assault" which hamper the aspirations of conservatives and Private Business.

The Government and the Public Sector enforces rules on behavior. Conservatives are racist and sexist and as natural pig-people are incensed that they can't grab women's asses and yell Barack Obama is a Ni-[Clang] all day long.

This is also why conservatives hate Unions. Unions also help enforce rules of behavior, help employees bargain for better pay, benefits and working conditions and provide workers with avenues to address Corporate malfeasance and Bosses misbehavior.

Corporations want Unions eliminated. This is why Republican Dogs and Conservative Stooges blame Unions for all of Americas problems. 

Mary Matalin, whose never been right about any issue, defended Vulture Capitalist Mitt Romney and blamed Unions and the Minimum Wage,
The greatest impediment to upward mobility for women and minorities are liberal policies such as the teachers unions, which secure teachers jobs, they don't educate our youth, such as African- American youth locked out of entry level jobs because the insistence on minimum wage, such as poverty programs that have dismantled the families.
See... If Companies could pay Black Youths Nothing for their labor then that's Right and Just. Vice President Biden was absolutely correct when he stated Republicans want to "put y'all back in Chains."

But, Wage Slavery is a profitable business model in America.

Chipotle is facing a Class Action lawsuit because it's taken to renaming some employees as "apprentices" and paying them as managerial employees who don't qualify for overtime. Want to know how a Company is using slave labor in America today? Classify an employee as "salaried" then work them 40 hours extra a week and pay them Nothing for the extra work.

The reason Stench Romney wanted to "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" is because Bain Capital would have swooped in, canabalized the remnants, jettisoned the UAW contracts, sold the factories off to China and skimmed the profits from the bones of GM and Chrysler while perched waiting for Ford to go belly up as well.

So, when a conservative tells you how awesome the Free Market is he's telling you he's a racist corporatist who wants to grind up on the ass of that hot secretary without the fear of some bogus "harassment" complaint, while he and upper management scheme on how to swindle the average worker out of his pension and repeal laws which keep Corporations from scooping up children from the playgrounds and shoving them down into MSHA free death-trap mines.

It's all part of the Rapacious Vulture Capitalist Model which has taken control of the Nation.

The Party of Lincoln no more Republicans call for Secession

700,000 Americans have signed on-line "Secession" petitions. Numerous right-wing blogs are projecting their dark murder fantasies in comment pages everywhere.

They've been so snugly ensconced in their Alternate Conservative Reality that when it is crushed by the American People the reaction is fury and violence.

The night of Barack Obama's decisive victory students from the University of Mississippi took to the streets blocking streets, throwing rocks, hitting cars, shouting racist slurs and burning Obama campaign signs until the police broke up the riot.

Over at Vox Popoli the sad loss of unearned White Entitlement struck Vox particularly hard, 
But it appears the symbolism of white Americans being deprived of their choice of president by an alliance of aliens... 
This is just what immigrants do if they are allowed to invade in sufficient numbers. 
Unearned White Entitlement and Privilege are a deep foundational aspect of conservative thinking. 

But, before any conservative drone attempts to claim that a bigoted Right-Wing blogger doesn't represent Manistream Conservative thought Presidential and Vice Presidential losers Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan took to the "Liberal" Media to complain that "gifts" to the "Urban voters" caused them to lose.
"In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day."
Blacks! Voting! Fraud!!! The dreaded other is stealing the country out from under the Real Americans! You have no choice but to rise up and...

Sean Hannity the Voice of Conservatism airs the bigoted voice of Texas Secessionist Daniel Miller on his Faux News program to complain that the "Union has fundamentally changed" and for people like Miller and Hannity doesn't represent the principles "envisioned" by the Founders. Which must mean the racist pro-slavery ideas and absorbtion of Texas' Debt by the United States.

But, not to be overshadowed by their Republican Guard Dogs and Faux News sycophants the Rich Successionists began throwing petulant tantrums over President Obama's re-election.
"If I leave the prices the same, but say on the menu that there is a 5 percent surcharge for Obamacare, customers have two choices. They can either pay it and tip 15 or 20 percent, or if they really feel so inclined, they can reduce the amount of tip they give to the server, who is the primary beneficiary of Obamacare," John Metz told The Huffington Post. "Although it may sound terrible that I'm doing this, it's the only alternative. I've got to pass the cost on to the consumer."
John Metz is the franchisor of Hurricane Grill and Wings, which has 48 locations, five of which are corporate owned, and president and owner of RREMC Restaurants, which runs approximately 40 Denny's and several Dairy Queen locations. He planned to use the 5 percent surcharge tactic in all his restaurants starting in January 2014, when Obamacare is fully implemented.
There it is. The Rich can never have enough. The Rich are never satiated. The Rich will never pay their fair share. Instead the want the burden borne by the backs of the Middle Class. This is what Republicans mean when they always talk of "broadening the base". They mean to pass on all the costs of government onto the Middle Class until their backs are broken and Corporate Serfdom and Wage Slavery rule the land.
Papa John's CEO John Schnatter is in a massive snit about how much he is put upon by having to help provide healthcare coverage via Obamacare for his employees. He doesn't support his employees getting better quality healthcare coverage because it's bad for his profit margins. So, he's decided to add 14 cents to the price of his pizzas in order to pass the cost onto consumers. I throughly applaud this decision.

Price yourself out of the market and then pack it in and set off to your Randian Paradise. Have fun tending and harvesting the wheat for your crust, raising and slaughtering pigs for the pepperoni and growing the tomatoes for your sauce so you can make your soggy cardboard pizza in the wilderness. I'm not sure how you'll get the High Fructose Corn Syrup to make your sauce palatable though...
Go Galt already! You provide nothing spectacular to the American Experience. I guarantee some enterprising young American, such as Wisconsin based Ian's Pizza will fill the market with a better quality product 

Just go. Get out of my country. It's not yours any more. The Era of unearned privilege is over.

The 3 R's of the Republican Party

Racists, Rapists and White Men.

I know Millennials won't get it but Republicans will because the only voting block that is going for Mitt Romney are old pro-rape racist white men raised in the school era of the "3 R's".
"My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that's despicable." - Colonel Lawerance Wilkerson.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have allowed the worst elements (Sarah Palin, John Sununu, Joe Walsh for starters) of the Right to run a campaign of bigotry and racism most Americans had allowed themselves to believe ended long ago. When coupled with Romney's efforts at voter intimidation and suppression he may have a chance to steal the 2012 election. But, for a snag. Republicans hate women. And Rape-publicans can not stay silent about their deep-seated misogyny, Pro-Rape, Anti-Women beliefs.
"Some girls they rape so easy," Wisconsin Republican Richard Rivard, explains a humourous anecdote his father told him.
To the Rape-publican Party an "Honest Rape", a "Forcible Rape", a "Legitimate Rape" only happens when the woman is killed during the rape. Any woman who survives a rape obviously didn't fight, obviously enjoyed it because her lady juices didn't shut down the rapist or she was dressed so immodestly or had joined a profession which is prima facia evidence she gave Tacit approval for her rapists' actions.

Pro-Rapist Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin aren't outliers they are mainstream Right-Wing thought. Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan, longtime Iowan Congressman Steve King, at least 12 other Republican Senate Candidates, dozens of Republicans in Congress, Governor Bob "Transvaginal Rape Wand" McDonnell, hundreds of conservative toxic commentators and thousands of conservative voters are Unconditionally Pro-Rape.

Republicans will force women to give birth to babies conceived in Rape and will punish the victim if she gets an abortion.

The Witchfinders are Back. They are ready to begin wholesale inspection of women's privy parts. To cast any immodest women into a lake. They are eagerly awaiting electoral victory in 2012 to emblazon the Malleus Maleficarum into US Law.

Tagg Romney has No Balls

And while Mitt has 5 sons his balls are tiny and they were kicked in by President Obama on Tuesday at the Second Debate.

As Tagg Romney watched President Obama overcome Mitt Romney and point out that Mitt is a spolied, elitist, bullying, despicable liar, who will say anything to steal this election, Tagg shared an amusing story,
"You know, I, ah, wanted to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him. But you know you can’t do that because, well, first there’s a lot of secret service agents between you and him…”
Ho ho ho. Tough Guy tells reporter afterwards! 

It's like watching the guy at the bar tell his friends to hold him back. He isn't going to fight but he sure wants to appear tough and strong! Tagg is a chicken hawk coward. Just like his father before him and just like his younger brothers,
  • Mitt 0, protested in favor of the War in Vietnam and the Draft 
  • Tagg 0 
  • Matt 0
  • Josh 0 
  • Ben 0 
  • Craig 0
The 5 Romney "men" were born between 1970 and 1981. When their father is added in they have a combined total of Zero Days of Military Service. When asked in 2008 why his sons weren't serving in the military, Mitt stated his dandified sons were to important,
"One of the ways my sons are showing support for this nation is by trying to get me elected. Because they think I'll make a great President."
But, Tagg's bullshit, I'm going to "take a swing at" President Obama is designed to rouse the Republican base (i.e. Racists) who all want to put Obama in his place. Just like Matt Romney declaring his father would release his tax returns,
“[A]s soon as President Obama releases his grades and birth certificate and sort of a long list of things then maybe he’d do it.”

As a way to defelct from the uncomfortable fact that Mitt Romney has undercut America for decades  and made hundreds of millions of dollars which Mitt has hidden in off-shore accounts around the world.

Update:
Tagg, besides being a ball less chicken hawk coward, also learned the fine Art of the Ponzi Scheme from his Swindler Father.

Lee Fang of The Nation reports,
Last year, I reported that Tagg had formed a business partnership with several North Carolina investors who are still facing a lawsuit for receiving bonus pay for selling CDs as part of the $8 billion Stanford Financial Group Ponzi scheme.In a nutshell, Tagg helped these investors form a company—called Solamere Advisors, a nod to Tagg’s firm Solamere Capital—shortly after their boss, Allen Stanford, was caught by law enforcement for his elaborate Ponzi fraud.When I interviewed him in Las Vegas, Tagg told me that his associates were “cleared” of any wrongdoing associated with the Stanford Ponzi scheme. Court documents directly contradict Tagg and show that the lawsuit has not been dismissed.

Cheat Sheet Romney "won" the 1st Debate, but jobs numbers don't Lie.

But, Republicans do always. And fervently.

Romney "won" the 1st debate by telling lies by the bushel and by running a rabidly racist campaign. And immediately the Hand-Wringing Began! As Liberals everywhere, perplexed by President Obama's performance went into a tizzy...

What went right for Romney? Well, besides his crib notes on the podium, Romney repeatedly went for the Medicare lie that President Obama is taking $700 Billion away from Seniors.

Mitt Romney also waxed on about Killing Big Bird while he made sure Big Oil Conglomerates knew their Federal Welfare was safe.

But, while Romney refused to be held down by facts or the truth his biggest revelation were the details of his secret budget and tax strategy. Romney admitted he doesn't have any financial strategy other than to raise taxes on the poor and middle class, cut Federal programs and benefits for average Americans and steal $5 Trillion from the US Taxpayer for his Rich Plutocratic friends.

Other than that Romney's vaunted zingers sounded like a 4th rate hack comedian recycling old stolen material. "You don't pick the winner and losers. You just pick the losers!" Chuckle Chuckle, Chuckle...

And then Romney made his dog whistle to the Racists: 
"Mr. President you are entitled to your own house, you are entitled to your own plane, you aren't entitled to your own facts."
3 entitled's in one sentence! You know who else feels they are entitled to hard-working white people's money! Coupling that with the fat odious toad John Sununu's repeating over and over that President Obama is a "lazy" ni... And Newt Gingrich, that fat southern slob who's been stealing tax-payer money as a 30 year DC bureaucrat claimed, 
“I’m assuming that there’s some rhythm to Barack Obama that the rest of us don’t understand. Whether he needs large amounts of rest, whether he needs to go play basketball for a while or watch ESPN..."
You understand the keys to Mitt Romney's Racist Campaign, beyond even Reagan's fantasy stories about meeting black teens who told him they hated the minimum wage and all the phantom Cadillac driving welfare queens and steak-eating young bucks he warned us about.

But, then during their celebration the Right-Wing anti-American assholes got bad news. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the September jobs data which showed Unemployment dropping to 7.8%

Conservatives immediately retreated to warm cozy confines of their Alternate Reality insinuating that President Obama, that strange mix of Total "Obamatuer" Incompetence and Marxist Machiavellian Saul Alinskian Super-Genius, had the numbers fixed.
Unbelievable jobs numbers. These Chicago guys will do anything... Can't debate so change numbers. Former GE CEO Jack Welch tweeted
Congressman Allen West picked up on Welch's tweet as did Faux News, Laura Ingraham, and other Toxic Conservative Commentators. As the Right-Wing noise machine immediately went into overdrive. As with everything, if the data does not conform to Conservative Beliefs, then the data must be discarded. Of course, when asked Jack Welch admitted he "didn't have any evidence", but so what! Conservatives don't need evidence, when their vague feelings of I wouldn't put it past that Obama! count for so much in the Court of the Right-Wing Blog-o-sphere...

But, as with the polls the BLS numbers don't lie. President Obama's efforts to overcome the Bush Recession, Republican sabotage and rabid conservative racism are resonating with the American people. He's pulling away and all the racist garbage and all the crazy tweets aren't going to be enough for Romney to steal the White House.

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.

WASP complains President Obama doesn't understand Anglo-Saxon Heritage (Conservative Racism)

Sadly, this is not a story about a minor star of the 1980's Metal Era talking politics*, for that you'll have to read about Dave Mustaine being excited by Rick Santorum.

A Totally-Not-Racist Republican Mitt Romney advisor complained that President Obama doesn't "fully appreciate" our and Great Britian's special "Anglo-Saxon heritage".
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage. The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
This after John Sununu pouted he wished, "this President [Obama] would learn how to be an American."

Of course, the odious Mitt Romney, Dauphin of the Plutocracy, isn't just going to let his bondsmen raise the specter of the scary dark hued Obama,
"It's a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy. His whole philosophy is an upside-down philosophy that does not comport with the American experience."
The evil myopic inability of right-wingers to even understand there exists an American experience outside their privileged White Anglo-Saxon Protestant universe is the second worst thing which infects the Republican Party and the modern conservative movement. The deference and protection Right-Wings Guard Dogs provide to the 1% and Disaster Vulture Capitalists oppressing and robbing the world being the worst.

But, Romney and the Republicans aren't ignorant or myopic. They know exactly what they are doing. Purging voter roles. Complaining about how foreign President Obama is, constantly lying about him apologizing overseas or attacking small business owners, or appeasing terrorists. Republicans are directly appealing to the conservative bigots and racists to win this election.

It just might work.

*- However, Blackie Lawless of WASP supported John McCain in 2008 citing it was a mandate against President Obama and that he wanted to cling to his guns and religion.

Updated:
Upon recalling that right-wingers ginned up anger when President Obama had the bust of Winston Churchill replaced with one of Abraham Lincoln, I recommend reading Britian and Poland 1939-1943: The Betrayed Ally by Anita J. Prazmowska, to understand how Britian and Churchill misled the Polish Government in exile, delivered the Polish people to the Soviet wolves, and used the Polish pilots and paratroopers as fodder against the Nazis to fully comprehend a "Special Relationship" with Britian.

But, reading the comments over at the Daily Telegraph, the one by Anthony Wilmont (flying the traitorous CSA Battle Flag as a logo) proudly proclaiming, "I want my own state, the Confederate States of America with Ron Paul at its Head!" should highlight which voters Mitt Romney and his Republican ilk are courting.
