If you're not Rich Republicans Loathe you and want you to Die

"...being a liberal is the best thing on earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind." ~ Lauren Bacall
However, unless you have a giant off shore bank account the Republican Party hates you and wants you to die. Here are a typical pair of Republican constituents: Charles and Samuel Wyly, who along with their wives, have donated $2.5 million to more than 200 Republican candidates and committees over the past 20 years, including over $1.3 million to the Republican National Committee. And guess what??? The two have been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with orchestrating a massive securities fraud scheme that netted them $550 million. Who would have thought Rich criminals would steal millions and then use those purloined riches to support Republicans??

And after Billionaire Criminals have purchased Republican politicians what do they do with that power? Well, that's the real question isn't it.

As we have seen over and over when Republicans are placed in control of Government they actively obstruct regulations and enforcement on Big Business. And the results are devastating. Not just mega murderous disasters at the Upper Big Branch Mine and the 2005 Texas City BP Oil Refinery Explosion or the near-destruction of the Gulf but also incidents such as the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant coal ash spill and TVA Widows Creek coal waste spill, which released over 1 billion gallons of toxic coal sludge into the Watts Bar Lake and the Emory River and 10,000 gallons of toxic gypsum material into Widows Creek, respectively [SourceWatch].

These are just a couple of the most egregious violations. Republicans actively tell Wealthy Business Owners to cut corners, eliminate safety and squeeze every bloody dollar from the lives of their workers they can.

But for Republicans it's not enough they kill Miners, Oil Rig Workers and other Americans they have to emotionally and ideologically stunt them as well.

So, inhuman scum merchants like Don Blakenship, Charles G. Koch and David H. Koch also use their stolen blood-soaked Millions to push lies and retard the intelligence of their blinkered conservative servants. Blakenship and the Koch Brothers are famous for pushing the global warming is a fraud meme, which is understandable because they make their money by raping the earth and destroying eco-systems. So, any legislation that would hurt their bank accounts must be stopped. As everyone knows Republicans and Conservatives place their Money above the Life and Health of every living thing on the planet.

Conservatives value Property over People. And every Republican, having been bought and paid for, then turns around and votes to ensure the rest of the American People are oppressed or killed and kept under the lash of Wage Slavery.

The Republican Party wants to return the World to a state of Feudal Dictatorship in which Racist Conservatives lynch and enslave society for the amusement of fat-faced, flabby-assed, cowards.

But, while Republicans bandy about millions and oversee the transfer of Trillions of Dollars of the world's wealth to their Plutocratic Oppressor Overlord Class they continue to stoke fears of ethnic and class by invoking "Unmarried Mothers" and Welfare Abuse.

"All welfare goes to unmarried moms," says the evil Phyliss Schlafly, whose anti-human violently stupid ideology birthed Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin.

What a load of manure. All the money ever spent to alleviate the Iron Heel of Republican Oppression doesn't add up to the money purposefully lost and stolen in Iraq during the Bush Cheney Regime. Republicans are scum who make it their mission to kill and oppress everyone.

Mark Kirk embodies the best Republican Trait

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust,
And you know it don't come easy.
~ George Harrison and Ringo Starr, It Don't Come Easy
He's a Liar. A Mark Kirk press conference goes thusly, "Lie, lie, lie, war hero lie, lie, lie, lie, child care lie, lie, lie, lie, war hero lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, teaching lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, BIG FINISH... LIE."

After the most egregious repeated lying about his Military service Kirk's latest apparent imbroglio concerns a story of Kirk almost drowning in Lake Michigan 34 years ago after his boat capsized. Kirk as a classic Republican must embellish and lie about the incident, he can't help himself he's a Republican and therefore a Liar.

But, while Mark Kirk, the Stolen Valor Champion uses classic Republican aesthetics Sharron Angle is a beyond Dada post modern Artist! She has deconstructed the No Comment Interview into it's base components by immediately tucking tail, taking no questions and running away.

The next two years are going to be hellish for the American People; Republicans have clearly stated their goals and intentions upon regaining power; The destruction of Social Security, the elimination of basic healthcare for the poor, the theft and transfer of billions to UBS and Cayman Accounts, the despoliation of the environment, the ramping up of Off-Shore and ANWR Drilling, the expansion of Overseas Wars and murder of American Servicemen, the lynching and murder of President Obama and the utter destruction of the Middle Class and reduction of the American People to Penury and Wage Slavery.

Andrew Bigotbart errr... Breitbart. Racist. Liar. Conservative...

If one isn't honest well then... What's the point? ~ Grung_e_Gene

There is no reason in 21st century America on an issue that is not a black or white or a civil rights issue to have a bloc of black people walk slowly through a mostly white crowd... Andrew Bigotbart wants certain congressmen to know their place.

Go away on vacation and miss a lot of the same Conservative bull shit. Andrew Breitbart famous for aiding and abetting convicted criminal James O'Keefe in the completely false and racially motivated attack on ACORN via highly edited video has yet again concocted a racist video fabrication. Breitbart's victim this time is Shirley Sherrod, unsurprisingly an elderly black woman, Breitbart's favorite target.

Just before I left for a vacation I posted a fabricated quote falsely attributed to Sean Hannity. I failed to do due diligence in confirming it's accuracy and went with the malicious lie because it confirmed my pre-conceived notions about Hannity. But what I did not do was try and justify my actions by claiming since my enemy Sean Hannity is a known liar and chicken hawk coward who endorses and support racism, the destruction of the American Middle Class and War Cimes lies should be told about him.

I immediately removed it upon learning it was a slander. But Andrew Breitbart is a common criminal and liar, i.e. a Conservative. And he has done what all Conservative liars do when caught, he has sought to rationalize and justify his lies; including, and this is the worst part, an outright bigoted lie he has created.

Andrew Breitbart is not alone in justifying his evil racist actions. Fox and Friends, Bill O'Reilly, Dana Perino, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Ann "It's a Set-Up" Coulter and Sean Hannity all rationalize their parts in Breitbart's racist lies because they are ALL racists and hypocrites. Rachel Maddow had an excellent segment highlighting the Conservative Media, Republican Party and Fox News rush to condemn Shirley Sherrod because it fits their racist narrative.

Conservatives feel no compunction about lying. Conservatives feel zero chagrin at complete false fabrication. Conservatives feel no remorse at slandering President Obama daily.

Conservatives are racists. Bigotry has been a staple of the Republican Party for years but the conservative movement, their terror arm the wholly racist Teabaggers have embraced racism and the threat of the the scary black person fully since Obama's landslide victory. Fox News is the most egregious perpetrator as their every program looks like deleted scenes from Birth of a Nation when their wide-eyed, frosted tipped blondes warn about Obama's "Terrorist Fist Jab" or their Grand Dragon KKK Leader Glenn Beck warns his racist Konservative Klan that "This president I think has exposed himself over and over again as a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture".

And the KKKonservative echo chamber and blog-o-sphere feels no shame in spreading lies and race baiting slander because all the right cares about is winning elections. The Republican Party don't give a shit about America what they care about is regaining power in Washington to ram through legislation to serve and protect their Masters, the Plutocrats who run this nation and want to destroy the middle class and return the American People to a status of complaint Wage Slave.

Every KKKonservative on Fox News is a Lying Bloated Disgusting Racist

The Advocates of Torture

"Torture has never been a reliable means of extracting information. It is ultimately self-defeating as a means of control. One wonders it is still practiced." ~ Jean Luc Picard.

"We also have to work, though, sort of the dark side, if you will. ~ Dick Cheney.

“The gloves are coming off gentlemen regarding these detainees, [redacted] has made clear it wants these individuals broken,” MI ALWAYS OUT IN FRONT, (08/14/2003)

Americans have known for a century, since the Philippine Insurrection, that Torture is wrong. That was until 2001 and the Bush/Cheney Regime. A Harvard Student Research Paper found that when Americans learned of the Abu Gharib scandal suddenly Bush Torture Lawyers began to push the notion of "Harsh" or "Enhanced Interrogation" methods to their media contacts and those stories began to equivocate and pretend as though there was a hotly contested debate about what is and what isn't Torture.

The reason is simple, Dick Cheney said as much right after 9/11, American Policy was Torture. And who would be tortured? Anyone. Everyone. Innocence and Guilt were non-factors. Bush and Cheney wanted Torture.

Whole sections of the Executive Branch were devoted to making Torture Official US Policy, the Justice Department was co-opted into crafting "legal" arguments for the efficacy of Torture and the rescinding of the "quaint" Geneva Conventions, White House officials made repeated Sunday Talk Show appearances hinting at the dozens of plots stopped by Torture, Jack Bauer would save Fox America through Torture. Torture was the Universal Cure-all of the Bush White House.

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Yoo, Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, Ari Fleischer, Liz Cheney, Monica Goodling, Jay Bybee are war criminals. And they are worst of sort of war criminals for they, safely ensconced in air-conditioned offices, far from the battlefield, coldly crafted Torture memos and policies. Clear intent not influenced by the heat of the moment.

Yet how could it be that a section of the American people not only defend the Bush Regime War Criminals but defend the use of Torture? Well, the Media stopped calling it Torture. And magically we have two sides of the Torture issue.

And worst of all everyone knows that Torture is not useful in gaining information and gaining information through coercion is not only futile but criminal.
The clearest example of an interrogation practice that will void a confession is the infliction of physical force or pain upon the person under interrogation, because it is an incontestable fact that harm of this nature may produce a confession of guilt from an innocent person. This is also true as regards indirect physical harm - for instance, an unduly prolonged continuous interrogation, especially by two or more interrogators working in relays or the deprivation of food, water, or access to toilet facilities for an unreasonable period of time. A threat of physical harm may have a similar effect --- the extraction of confession from innocent persons. ~ Fred E. Inbau
Illinois Law- (720 ILCS 5/12‑7) Compelling confession or information by force or threat.
(a) A person who, with intent to obtain a confession, statement or information regarding any offense, knowingly inflicts or threatens imminent bodily harm upon the person threatened or upon any other person commits the offense of compelling a confession or information by force or threat.

(b) Sentence. Compelling a confession or information is a: (1) Class 4 felony if the defendant threatens imminent bodily harm to obtain a confession, statement, or information but does not inflict bodily harm on the victim, (2) Class 3 felony if the defendant inflicts bodily harm on the victim to obtain a confession, statement, or information, and (3) Class 2 felony if the defendant inflicts great bodily harm to obtain a confession, statement, or information.

However, they are so awesome and useful that if need be we can use them and break someone in 35 seconds to save us from the Right Wing Extremist Bogus Ticking Time Bomb Scenario.

So it's both Torture and Not Torture.

Time to Declare Independence

From the Military-Industrial-Complex, which is not only bankrupting the Nation it demands Americans sacrifice themselves.

Sometimes my epigrams come a little too soon. Case in point, no sooner than I referenced the Loud Mouthed Cowardly War Proponents propensity to blather about the necessity of sacrificing someone else's life in war than did Michael Steele comment about the idiocy and uselessness of the "War" in Afghanistan. The comments received national media attention and the War Mongering Neo-Cons and Chicken Hawk Republicans immediately responded about the necessity of sacrificing more Americans' lives.

Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, and Karl Rove, those three incomparable assholes, stepped forward first demanding Steele withdraw his comments and resign. The Republicans, led by John McCain and Sarah Palin, then followed and jumped at the chance to proclaim their support for Never-Ending-War. Tom Cole and Jim DeMint called on Steele to apologize and resign. Cole and DeMint are real republican chicken hawks they love war now but sure couldn't be bothered to serve in Vietnam when they were young men. You see it is their job to convince the American People that Endless War is good and necessary. A War which they know they and their families will never have to sacrifice anything for...

Republicans support War because they don't serve in the military. They won't have to shit in a hole in the desert. They won't have to go 7 weeks without a real shower. They won't have put rounds down range at another human being.

Now, of course, I believe from the total context of Steele's quote, as 'Obama's War of Choice', Steele was trying to use the increase in American deaths as a political tool against President Obama. But, if there's one thing the Republicans want to own it's the Wars. Because Republicans know they won't be touched by those wars.

The Wars begun by Bush and Cheney with the lockstep support of the Republican Party were for one reason; A Two-fold transfer of Wealth. There are too many Trillions of dollars to be taken from struggling American families and too much land and resources to be stolen from innocent people overseas by sending Americans there to kill the brown peoples.

If Obama does begin the drawdown it will mark a clear difference in 2012 for the American people. If he doesn't...

Republicans Piss On Veterans

You can always hear the people who are willing to sacrifice somebody else's life. They're plenty loud and they talk all the time. ~ Dalton Trumbo
Senate Republicans object to a bill to aid homeless veterans. They can't find the money for it. What republicans can find, time and time again, is a way to fuck over anyone who's poor, homeless or wounded in service to the Wealthy. It's the only "Service" they respect. And in line with standard Republican thinking; If you're poor, homeless or wounded it is of your own choosing/fault.

Republicans are grave robbers and scum they would rather veterans die so they can co-opt their lives and place conservative talking points into the mouths of the dead.
NeoCon Frank Gaffney: "It is regrettable that they had to die, but I believe they did have to die."
And if the dead veteran turns out to be an anti-war atheist who believes in country over conservatism they can merely echo Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter and say, "I don't believe it".

The Republican Party is filled with Liars, Chicken Hawks and Cowards. I highlighted the 2010 CPAC meeting in February. And Not One! Not one of the leading voices in Modern Conservatism ever served in uniform! Yet here they are using the troops and veterans to advance Republican Party interests. Republicans are a fucking disgrace.

John Boehner wants Americans to work until they die

Breaking News Playboy just offered Sarah Palin $1 million to pose nude in the January issue. Michelle Obama got the same offer from National Geographic. ~ Republican Gary Frago. "I don't see where there's a story, I'm not the only one that does it," he said.
But, Republicans don't just hate black people (although the Elena Kagan hearings show Republicans hate even dead black persons) they hate everyone who doesn't own their own jet.

John Boenher wants Americans to work until 70. Now the only reason Americans live that long is the long hard slough Liberals fought; for benefits, health care, reduced working hours and non-slave wages. And Republicans fought against those measures every time. And are still seeking to eliminate them.

If Republicans had their druthers Americans would work from the age 12 to 70 or until you die. Upon reaching 70 Republicans would then have you killed.
No, you're not supposed to retire when you're 55. You sound to me like you are totally capable of still working. People are retiring now at 50 and 55 and so forth when they are still capable of working. According to the tables at 55, you've got 22 years left... ~ Rush Limbaugh, [Crooks and Liars]
The Wealthy have total control over the Republican Party. Remember Don Blankenship, the Massey Energy CEO, owner of the Upper Big Branch mine which killed 29 miners? Blankenship deliberately subverted safety inspections (495 violations in 2009), suggested firing mine supervisors who pointed out unsafe conditions and stopped his mine workers from unionizing. But he knew he couldn't accomplish his plans Coal Production via Dead Miners without having bought Republicans to provide him political cover:
That company’s chief executive, Don L. Blankenship, spent about $3 million in 2004 to defeat an incumbent justice, Warren R. McGraw, a Democrat, and to elect his opponent, Mr. Benjamin, a Republican who is now the court’s chief justice. Mr. Blankenship contributed only $1,000, the statutory maximum, directly to Mr. Benjamin’s campaign. Most of the rest of his spending was on slashing television advertisements opposing Justice McGraw.
The 2010 Republican platform is Death to the Middle Class and Poor and they've listed several planks to their platform: Eliminate the EPA (allow Massey and Don Blankenship kill more Miners and BP kill more Oil Rig Workers and pollute Lake Michigan), steal your Social Security (take that money and TARP it to Wall Street), oppose Mine Safety Legislation, repeal Health Care Reform and deny Americans medical care.

I was worried about the 2010 elections and the Republicans taking control of Congress but as the Republicans Platform becomes clearer I'm now more worried about Conservative Terrorists Resorting to the Bullet Box and 2nd Amendment Remedies and Steve King's outright call for terrorism and kidnapping via "Deport A Liberal". Conservatives always resort to violence when thwarted by Democracy and murder low level government workers at the IRS, or assassinate police officers and museum guards.

Chris Henry Victim

Everyone who thought Chris Henry was merely a criminal and a bad person (and conservatives came to that conclusion because of his skin color and their inherent bigotry) were blaming a victim.

West Virginia University doctors have determined via autopsy Chris Henry suffered from chronic traumatic brain injury. Most likely, at some point in his collegiate playing days he suffered a concussion which was undiagnosed or ignored because the game is more important and his repeated playing days exacerbated the injury. Or even worse this type of injury doesn't even have to come from dramatic explosive hits but can come about due to repetitive small impacts, standard football movements and seemingly innocuous plays.

Chris Henry died last year after being thrown from a vehicle during an altercation with his girlfriend. Henry had numerous prior run-ins with the law and with disciplinary problems with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Football destroys both mind and body and leaves players altered and crippled. Future generations are going to view us with the same revulsion we have when we think of the bloody Roman Gladiatorial games, an enthusiastic willingness to allow men harm themselves for sport.

But, football sure makes a lot of money for a lot of people!

Republicans Retard America with deliberate Economic Sabotage

Repubicans are purposefully undercutting reform and economic help in order to win elections.

Sabotage, Obstruct & Retard; This is the Grand Strategy for the GOP. Obstruct the Obama Administration and retard any and all legislation and governmental appointees in the hopes that by making Americans suffer those people will blame Obama and not the Republican bastards who wish nothing but harm to the American People.

But, this should come as no surprise to Americans. Republicans place their Party over the American People and serve the Wealthy. Whatever methods are necessary to regain control of the government and continue their Quest to turn the American People into Slaves they will undertake.

But, even less shocking than Republicans sabotaging the economy is the constant Fascist Fox News Blame the Poor Mantra. Faux and the Republicans supposedly champion the idea of less taxes and less government regulation but to Republicans that only applies to the Wealthy. Republicans want to crush the Poor beneath the Iron Heel of their Jackboots.

And it doesn't even register with their deluded brain dead battered voters.

Fascist Fox tells their voters the Obama Administration has raised their Taxes and Americans are Taxed Enough Already. Yet Sean Hannity and the other Toxic Fox Commentators feign madness and then proclaim the Poor don't pay enough taxes.
And I'm going to tell you one other thing: When did we ever get to a point in America where, we're nearly at the point where fifty percent of Americans don't pay anything in taxes! Nothing! ~ Sean Hannity.
What Hannity and his Asshole Brethren really are trying to do is further divide the Poor and Middle Class. Fascist Fox and the Republicans don't want low taxes for Americans they want no taxes on the Rich and a crushing burden on the Middle Class until they and the majority of Americans are reduced to Penury and Wage slavery to the Wealthy Elite whom the Republicans serve.

Republican Jokers

And now comes the part where I, relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your frail and useless lives. ~ BP Republican Joe Barton*
Joe Barton was right, he doesn't want to live in a country where a corporation that does something legitimately wrong are punished for it*. Republicans believe laws, responsibility for one's actions and repercussions are for the "little people" and they want to ensure Main Street Americans remain impoverished and enslaved.

Republicans at the behest of their Corporate Kleptocratic Masters have employed a Three-Pronged attack on American Labor and the Middle Class for the last 30 years.

By dismantling the industrial base of the Nation and lowering Tariffs the American Manufacturing sector was eliminated as jobs were shipped to Indonesia and other sweat shop countries where labor laws could be violated and "costs" (i.e. money to workers) could be keep down to one notch above complete slavery.

During this time an old tactic was revved up as more and more first generation immigrants came into the country to undercut and further depress wages of Americans born here while taking over segments of the labor market (landscaping, construction, carpentry, cooking, plumbing for instance) because the immigrant workers will work 14 hours with no benefits.

The other tactic which has served Punk Ass Bitch Republicans for decades is to play off the Middle Class and Poor against one another. Republicans reduce taxes on the wealthy and increase them on the Middle and Working Classes, thereby shifting the burden of aiding the poor onto those just above that poverty line. Republicans then go to those Middle Class people and blame their struggles and budget deficits on the poor and unemployed. To that end Republicans "defeated" the Jobs Bill in the Senate 41-57 by hyping up fears of abuse of unemployment benefits in the bill. The Republicans always blame the Poor and unemployed for every ill in America.

Republicans and the Oil-Soaked, Coal-Mining, Bank-Owning Kleptocrats they serve want to destroy the Middle Class so they can re-exert their control on the Political Power of America.

It has been the blood, sweat and tears of Labor and the Liberals push to expand the franchise and that smidgen of voting power in the hands of the formerly oppressed which has created the American Middle Class and caused the American 20th Century, the greatest expansion and flowering of creation, thought and freedom since the Renaissance.

Ultimately, the goal for The Plutocratic Class is to eliminate the Middle Class and force 95% of the American Workers to compete with a pool of worldwide virtual slave labor. Republican Henchmen act as the defenders and police for their Masters as they strive to return America to a state of Kleptocratic Feudalism.

AfghanStan McChrystal

This potential finding is exacerbated by the unconfirmed but suspected reports that POTUS and the secretary of the Army might include comments about Corporal Tillman's heroism and his approved Silver Star medal in speeches currently being prepared, not knowing the specifics surrounding his death. - then Lt. Gen Stanley McChrystal's P4 memo to General John Abaziad, as discovered years after Bush used Pat Tillman's death to bolster support for the Phony War on Terror.
Pat Tillman was an atheist, anti-war, read dissident authors, and thought Bush started an illegal war in Iraq. He's a true soldier and patriot and I wonder where all the Tea Party Traitors and Oath Keepers were when Bush was using Tillman's death to further his warmongering?

General Stanley McChrystal was in charge of the Pat Tillman cover-up. He's no Hero. It's possible Stan undertook the cover-up at the behest of the Cheney White House in order to deflect growing anti-war sentiment and to blunt the Abu Ghraib Torture revelations, which had been feverishly approved by Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, and which could have unseated President Bush in 2004.

AfghanStan comes off very badly in the Rolling Stone article: The Runaway General by Michael Hastings. President Obama relieved him of his command for his poor judgement and contempt. Now Stan will be remembered (if at all) in the same breath as Gen George McClellan.

Of course, the tenor amongst the deluded punk ass bitch Right Wing Extremists is one of 'Well, as a General he really shouldn't show such contempt for the C-in-C, but we all know McChrystal is merely expressing the hatred for a kenyan born anti-American muslim terrorist lover' and 'the problem isn't McChrystal's lack of discretion but because he allowed inside an anti-war member of the liberal media'.

However, Barack take a clue, it doesn't matter how forcefully you prosecute the Neo-Con Phony War in Terror, the Right doesn't want the war won but continued forever. They want sustained occupation. Because the peace keeping mission provides them with cover for their true war goals; A Two-Fold Giant Transfer of Wealth. It's what the Republican Party exists for, Theft and Murder. And the Neo-Cons cover their criminal actions with the cry of 'National Interests'. There has never been a more pernicious lie than 'National Interests'.

This "recent" revelation that Afghanistan houses trillions in rare minerals has been known for decades and was one of the rationals the Soviets used to stay during their bloody decade.

COIN in Afghanistan is worthless because AQ aren't in the countryside, The new Afghan Commander General David Petraeus has stated that inconvenient fact. And the Mayor of Kabul Hamid Karzai has no political pull outside of his own eyesight.

The question is will international terrorist organizations use the countryside to train for overseas missions? Maybe but, the more overarching question has always been does our continued presence kill and deter more potential terrorists or create more?

Every few months an Al Qaeda #3 is killed to no apparent value. This is not because the American and ISAF operators are worthless, far from it, it's because the AQ structure isn't undone by eliminating HVTs. AQ3 does not have a line and block OOB under him which is disrupted by his removal, he isn't an Alfred Jodl or J.E.B. Stuart. Killing him dosen't disrupt their organization. AQ3 in Waziristan is not planning an envelopment of Jalalabad or two pronged strike towards Kabul and Mazer-i-Sharif. He's not a ninja or 37th Dan Blackbelt training 50 AQ assassins every year in the arts of lethal hand-to-hand combat, he isn't in Zurich channelling a billion here and a billion there in furtherance of an international plot to destabilize currency or fund an attack.

He's a guy living amongst goat herders in the 15,000 foot tall mountains of Pakistan, AQ have isolated themselves.

Summer Soccer Stinks

And it's not because of the Vuvuzelas...

World Cup Soccer is tedious. Not because of low scoring, there is a constant flow of action, and yes soccer is a fantastic display of muscular and cardiovascular endurance but because every soccer player in the world is a cheater, takes dives and fakes injuries during every game.

Any time a soccer player sees an opponent within in 5 feet of him he takes a spectacular aerial tumble, more impressive than any done by The Flying Wallendas, his arms flailing, legs akimbo, face contorted in pain and misery and then lays upon the field with both hands grasping his knee as though he has torn his ACL, MCL, PCL and dislocated his menscius. It's pathetic and in the age of HD super slow motion multi-camera sports easily captured.

And of course the fans blame the referes for the players bad actions.

Soccer and the World Cup is lame.

Update:
USA Soccer won their Group so they move on to the next grouping or something...

Joe Barton and the Republicans War Cry; 'Death to the America! Power to BP!'

"I think the people responsible in the oil spill--the federal government--should take full responsibility for what's happening there," John Boehner, Republican shields BP. "I apologize"- Republican Joe Barton kowtows to Tony Hayward for interrupting his Boating Enthusiasm.

Republicans can't help but show their utter hatred and desire to murder the poor and protect evil Corporations. Republicans defend and succor BP and Halliburton because those Companies kill poor people and there is nothing more lovely in the eyes of Republicans than a dead poor person.

Joe Barton, Steve King, Joe Wilson, Marsha Blackburn, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, Haley Barbour and the ImPotentate of the Punk Ass Bitch Republican Party R. Limbaugh get excited and aroused by the sight of dead poor people and environmental destruction.

The Republican Party is using BP, Halliburton and others to murder Americans. They can be no other rational reason the Republican Party has allowed BP to violate with gross impunity all US Environmental Laws for years. And especially under the Disastrous Regime of Dick & W.

Dick Cheney is poised to become the 3rd most dangerous cause of death in America. He's killed more Americans than anything but Cancer and Auto Accidents. I'd say employ Dick Cheney in the War on Terror but we all know he'd never move his quivering pasty chicken hawk ponderous bulk anywhere near a War Zone, he's a Republican after all so he's a Cowardly Murderer.

The Latest BP Gross Violations have superseded their previous reckless violations, in which BP murdered their workers by actively undercutting safety and purposefully violating EPA laws and regulations. BP's reckless behavior stems from the free hand and shielding they have received from The Republican Party and the Bush Cheney Regime.

And now Republicans, Joe Barton, Michele Bachmann, Steve King, John Boehner, Newt Gingrich and the rest of the Republican Punk Ass Bitches can't fall over themselves fast enough to defend BP and Murder Americans.

Update June 21:
Republicans and Conservatives hate America so much that they will impeach The American President for holding a Foreign Company (BP) accountable for the reckless Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. [Is Obama's BP Shakedown an Impeachable Offense? - American Thinker]

The Fascists at Faux News have called the Gulf Oil Spill 'Obama's Iranian Hostage Crisis'. I could go along with that because once again the Republicans are allied and negotiating with a Foreign Power to the detriment of the American people.

Republican Goverance: Enslave, Oppress or Murder

The Republicans believe they will be resurgent in the 2010 elections.

If so it's because the Republicans use 3 Overarching Strategies;

1st they attempt to Enslave Americans for example by scaring them about 'Teh Gays' or Terrorism or pretending to be big-time War Heroes when every Republican is a lying Chicken Hawk or Coward or by suddenly becoming fiscally conservative when they don't have control.

If the person resists Enslavement Republicans attempt to Oppress them, this they usually accomplish by removing their voting rights or destroying organizations like ACORN which aid the poor.

And if Enslavement and Oppression doesn't work Republicans Murder people who won't accept their Hegemonic Dominance. Usually by starting Phony Wars on Terror, or through the undercutting of safety protocols and regulations on their Plutocratic Masters and by ignoring Corporate Malfeasance as they have done again and again in the Oil and Coal Mining Industries. Republicans allow Working Class and Poor People to die whenever possible because after all while the Workers and Poor may be Americans they aren't Republicans.

Republicans place Party over Principle and Elections over Ethics.

It was fantastic being downtown when the Hawks won. Michigan Ave was, of course, a mob zone for hours. But, the best thing about the Game 6 victory was watching the crestfallen Flyers fans slow realization that their team of brutes and cheats had lost and watching their tasteless booing as they saw a classy teams' celebration.
