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.

Disgusting conservatives attack President Obama with Tornado Deaths (Almighty God Hates Republicans)

Tornadoes took the lives of hundreds of people in southern states. This is tragedy as the loss of life diminishes all of mankind. I've been wondering when Racist Limbaugh or Pat Robertson would comment blaming the tornadoes on god's anger over DOMA or the tempting of god by trying to steal his divine wind power for green energy. Well, Andrew Breitbart, the most despicable shameless lying conservative working the people over these days, did not disappoint.

Breitbart, known mainly for altering often illegally obtained video footage of liberals to create false smears, went onto Faux Business News Follow the Money show and told Eric Bolling that President Obama believes, "what's the point of investing any amount of time or effort into drawing the maximum amount of help and effort to people who don't support him politically."

But, how do Bolling and Breitbart reconcile their stance on President Obama not offering the full amount of help with this:

The ten most dangerous words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” -President Ronald Reagan*.

Surely, because everyone knows the private market does everything better than the Federal Government, Halliburton or Blackwater (Xe) should go to the disaster zone and offer help for the right price?

Of course, Breitbart doesn't care about the dead and suffering people in the south. Like all despicable conservative toxic commentators he only cares about moving the power of the Government into the hands of monstrous Republican hit men who can continue their Crusade to eliminate the Middle Class, end Medicare, Medicaid, steal Social Security, deregulate every industry and turn the government into the one the Right has always wanted; Of the many, by the few, for the few.

*-Reagan had trouble with simple math thus explaining his disasterous budgets.

Birtherism of a Nation or Watching a New Religion be Born

What do God and Barack Obama have in common? Neither one has a birth certificate. – R. Limbaugh

It’s fascinating being around when a new religion is born. President Obama is an American. But, Republicans and conservatives are too heavily invested in Birtherism to let that stop their Crusade. And now that ‘Where is the Birth Certificate?’ has been shown to be nothing more than Right Wing flim flam Republicans will resort to an old canard, they are making Birtherism a matter of Faith.

No amount of evidence will ever satisfy them. No amount of evidence will shake their faith. Every time Birtherism is shown to be Republican racism the standards and underpinnings of it shall be changed. And evidence against their faith, only serves to reinforce their beliefs. However, while the long form Certificate of Live Birth has been released it never was about where Obama was born but about his father.

For a majority of conservatives it’s a priori Obama isn’t American because he’s not “white”, and to Republicans African-Americans can never be truly American citizens.

But, while nearly all conservatives are bigots their racist base doesn’t provide Republicans enough votes to win elections. So, Racist Republicans know that in order to sway independent voters they can’t just go on R. Limbaugh’s show and call President Obama a n****r so they recite not-so-subtle dog whistles. The Birther nonsense allowed John Boehner, Eric Cantor and other Republicans to seem reasonable by saying ‘Oh, I take him at his word’ while winking all day long to their racist constituents.

No religion would be complete without it’s impossible standards of guilt and innocence and Inquisition. Enter Faux News. Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and others have responded with, ‘Why didn’t he release it sooner’. Because to conservative’s Obama is already Guilty. He needs to prove his innocence to them. He needs to satisfy the Republicans tribunals. And even then it’s not enough because other conservative photoshopping liars and cowards still hold the President accountable.

Glenn Reynolds shows the abject moral bankruptcy and despicable bigotry of the conservative movement:

The White House may think it’s sprung a trap, but I think they waited too long. By now — as the polls from earlier this week showing how many independents thought Obama wasn’t born here, and which probably prompted the release decision, indicate — the damage is done. Even if people change their minds on the issue, for many the residual suspicion will remain: The thought that regardless of where he was born, there’s something shady about him.

See it doesn’t matter that Birtherism is demonstrably and unequivocally false and conservatives are despicable shameless liars; the victim of this evil plot is at fault. He doesn’t pass muster. He needs to prove himself a Palin approved Real American.

"We want to see a 'birth certificate,'" Sharon Guthrie, the legislative director for Texas state legislator Leo Berman, explained. "The one that we have that says 'birth certificate' is from Mombassa, Kenya, with his footprint on it. He has still not produced an American birth certificate. What I've seen online, what they produced today, still says certificate of live birth across the top." It fits perfectly with dogmatic Republican Birtherism. Conservatives are racists. Racism has seeped into the Right and now permeates everything they do politically.

And, as is the course of religions, Birtherism has undergone a Schism. Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo has a breakdown of the strains of Birtherism which are still running rampant in the Right, of which more than 70% believe President Obama is not the white person to be President.

Update: Watch the spectacular bigot Pamela Geller reveal the depths a Birther must delve to hold onto their racist dogma.

Repugnant Racist Republicans

Wow! President Obama's news conference and release of his "mythical" Long-Form Birth Certificate have pulled the mask completely from the GOP.

The Right and the Republican Party are nothing more than a collection of bigots, thieves, cowards, liars, chicken hawks and criminals.

They would be laughable save for the fact that Corporate "America" and the Plutocracy enjoys having the Republican Hit Men carry out assassinations of the American Middle Class and the subjugation of We, the People!

Madison Protests far larger than any Weak Tea Party

The protests by We, the People in Madison are far larger than any Tea Party Protest. And to no one’s surprise the Media isn’t covering them. But, every time some racist grabbed his tri-cornered hat, slung his Ar-15 over his shoulder, and declared “I want my country back” an MSM reporter was there to broadcast it.

The protests in Madison, which have been going on non-stop for weeks, and the associated protests in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and New Jersey garner no attention because it is a genuine rising up of Real Americans angry over the Republican theft and oppression of the workers.

Republicans and conservatives serve Moneyed Interests. They seek nothing less than the creation of a Neo-Feudal state, so they collude to strip away anything which will aid Main Street while abetting Wall Street in heinous financial crimes. To wit: in 2010, the Republicans pulled their classic strategy of bait-and-switch; Proclaiming they were running on a platform of Jobs for Americans when their plan all along was the destruction of Unions, elimination of anything designed to aid the Poor and the subjugation of the Middle Class.

This plan of slowly chipping away at our Rights, of sowing racial discord, of pitting worker against worker is intended make Us accept working longer hours, for less money, without any healthcare coverage, no pension and no hope when we are old or broken by our labors. At which point the Neo-Cons will send us to FEMA Camps to die.

Here is a rundown of the things the Republicans planned to cut. And everyday a Republican reiterates their desire to defund the EPA or OSHA, or swindle Social Security or put childern to work.

But, a funny thing happened on the way to Wage Slavery; the American People began to see the collusion between the Republicans and the Plutocracy and began to protest for their Rights.

This infuriates the Rich because they have hired the GOP to eliminate the Middle Class and the Rich do not tolerate failure. And thus the protests are ignored or receive Faux News treatment.

For simply put, the modern GOP is allied against the American People. So expect more and more draconian “laws” abolishing our rights and enforcing slavery to be passed by the Republican Hit men.

Republicans Piss on the Middle Class and the American Worker

"I'll put you in the hospital old man!" - Tough Guy
"Well I've got MediCare, go ahead and shoot your best shot!" - Clint Eastwood, Space Cowboys

Republican Governors are pissing down the back of every American and telling them it's fiscal rain. Scott Walker isn't an aberration he is executing the orders of his Koch Industry Masters. The Republican Party is wholly owned by the Rich Plutocrats in this country and they want a return to Feudalism.

Trickle Down Economics is a Reign of Wage Slavery. And Republicans Rick Scott, Rick Snyder, Halley Barbour, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Scott Walker, Mitch Daniels are nothing more than Hit Men, hired to do a job on the American Middle Class. And their actions clearly indicate they don't care about being elected because they know after they devastate the Middle Class, at the behest of their Plutocratic Masters, they will be rewarded with generous speaking fees and lavish praise from Faux News and the Right Wing money laundering "think tanks".

So, since Republicans know their financial future is secure why not reduce the American People to penury for their Plutocratic Overlords?

But, of course the Republican menace isn't merely limited to these governors but encompasses every single Republican. They are enamored with undoing the American Middle Class.

Missouri State Senator Jane Cunningham is sponsoring a repeal of restrictions on child labor SB222 which would "eliminates the prohibition on employment of children under age fourteen."

Mike Lee the new Tea Party Republican Senator from Utah went further and declared restrictions on child labor are unconstitutional. Here (via Think Progress) you watch and listen to his ridiculous Tenther Diatribe about how the Constitution actually forces businesses to employ children.

Paul Ryan's entire budget plan is about ensuring the Plutocrats get ahold on Medicare/Medicade Social Security funds which they can then steal outright for Wall Street to transfer to their accounts in Switzerland or the Caymans. Jeff Sessions declared, "Ryan has done a fabulous thing!"

So the question is why? Why are the Republicans eliminating Unions, why are they pushing to have minors go to work? Why do they want to eliminate the EPA and OSHA?

Well, simply the elimination of these laws won't affect them and theirs. Just like when Republicans champion going to war, Republicans won't be making the sacrifices. They won't be forced to choose between heat or food, medicine or electricity.

Republicans are chosen for office for one simple reason; they deliver for their Rich benefactors. And 2011 has seen them deliver what the Plutocracy wants, Death to the American Dream.

Creeping Creationism and Conservative Stupidity

Up in Lake County Illinois creationism has infected several schools. The push by fundamentalist bigots and morons is the first step of evil conservatives to destroy the minds of the youth and tie them into the cycle of Violent Republican Stupidity.

At Libertyville High School (District 128), school officials confirmed, biology and human genetics teacher, Beau Schaefer, had been promoting creationist beliefs while discrediting evolution. I wonder if biology teacher Schaefer referenced Genesis 1:29

God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

and advocated the eating of hemlock and nightshade in accordance with god's proven advice.

All three incumbents, (Jim Burke, Doug Goldberg, Tony Pietro) and one candidate (Chris Wallace) for the Lake Zurich Unit District 95 school board believe creationism should be taught alongside evolution in elementary school science classes. Wallace, went so far as to say creationism is fact and evolution is just a theory. (emphasis mine).

I know what you're thinking who wouldn't want to learn about how mighty Odin slew Ymir and from his bones and blood created the earth and the seas and from his skull created the heavens! Cool, right? But No! Instead they want some 3000 year old myth called biblical creationism to be taught.

Now, I could run down these candidates for their simple ignorance regarding what constitutes a scientific theory as opposed to the everyday person saying "I have a theory..." But that gives them to much credit.

When these despicable buffoons were questioned further they retreated behind the 'Oh I misunderstood the question' excuse. There is no doubt these christian fascists believe the bible to be the infallible word of yahweh and that teaching all life on earth share a common descent has been the harbinger of America's doom,

We've seen the chaos the election of ignorant anti-human Republicans and conservatives has wrought in Indiana, Florida, New Jersey and Wisconsin and these asses in Lake County Illinois are how the conservatives operate. The Right has for years worked on the small local level, first getting evil idiots elected to school boards, who work to to alter American history elevating conservative criminals, punks, and chicken hawk cowards to the status of heroes and to promote ideas which contradict proven observation and accepted knowledge.

They do this because everyone knows Conservatism is Terrorism and Slavery. It is a system of evil bondage which shackles the mind with ignorance and demands the surrender of morality and humanity to the interests of the Rich and serfdom. But, in order to get people imprisoned in the conservatives grasp they must abuse children and warp their minds.

Conservatism is Terrorism and Child Abuse.

Fallow but not Gone

Hey, everyone I've only taken a short break but I'm not gone!

I got a first hand view of Madison and the passion, grace and gentle power of Progressives was awe inspiring.

I will return to this blog because the Republican Malfeasance in Wisconsin and the Class War, the Republican Hitmen and their deluded conservative foot soldiers have declared, is the only War the Right will actually fight in and I'll not back down in the face of their evil.

The bait and switch after the 2010 elections show us the rot which infests the Right's soul today, they will engage in any underhanded sleazy tactics and outright lying about their true goals which is nothing less than the return of the Slavery and Bondage of We, the People.

What Jay Cutler's Knee Injury can teach us about PTSD

"I want you to get that man out of here right away. I won't have these other brave boys seeing such a bastard babied." ~ George S. Patton

The Bears lost to the Packers 21-14 yesterday. Jay Cutler was injured in the Bears loss to the Packers sunday. Just before half he took several hits and Fox Sports zoomed in on his bloodied right elbow. But, during one sequence Troy Aikman noted Cutler was limping off the field. On the next series Cutler threw an incompletion (his final pass of the game) in which he short armed the throw getting no support from his legs.

Cutler then finished the game on the sideline as Caleb Hanie almost became a legend but fell just short of leading the Bears back. After the Bears lost, a segment of Bears fans and NFL players began attacking Cutler for getting injured labeling him a quitter and a "pussy".

Cutler tore his MCL. Tore it.

Cutler has been one of the toughest players I've ever seen. However, many people dislike Cutler because of their perceptions about his attitude and demeanor. No one knew yesterday, except for Cutler and the Bears medical staff, the extent of his injury, yet that doesn't stop people from calling him a "pussy". I am disgusted by so-called Bears fans and any NFL player who is attacking Cutler.

However, what the incessant calls to 670 The Score, the tweets by NFL players and the on line yahoo sports comments illustrate is there is a certain base meanness which permeates much of our society. And it's ugly.

It strikes me this is similar to what people did to soldiers suffering from what had been called, "shell shock", "battle fatigue", the "thousand-yard stare" and is now known as PTSD or Combat Stress Reaction. They very rarely believed the suffering veteran. And it took a soldier the stature of Audie Murphy coming forward with what he suffered after World War 2 to reduce the stigma of combat stress.

Because many Americans and even people who have suffered through similar experiences seem to have this feeling that anyone who professes to be injured is actually malingering.

It's disgusting and it's a part of the American fabric.

Update:
Bears players and GM Jerry Angelo hit back hard at the baseless and ugly classless attacks on Jay Cutler as well as Pro Football Weekly Owener Hub Arkush and 670 The Score announcers Terry Boers and Dan Bernstein. When Angelo was asked about the bullshit comments by NFL punks he stated, "I think it's crap. I thought they were a union. If that’s the way they unionize themselves, they got bigger issues than the one that they have with the owners. I’m very disappointed. That, to me, is dirty pool." Good for you Jerry.

Boers began his show by stating he was "completely ashamed to be affiliated with the ignorant bastards who felt it, compelled to call this radio station". Boers and Bernstein then thankfully spent their entire show blasting their brainless "meatball" listeners, classless NFL punks, and testicle lacking reporters who attacked Cutler.

And then late night Score Bears Reporter Laurence Holmes broke the overall story about Jay Cutler's serious knee injury. Holmes was at the game. Holmes has first hand reporting. He is a primary source. All these NFL players, sports reporters and and analysts who are attacking Cutler are not. So, any reporter or columnist (Jason Whitlock) who questions Cutler's injury should have their reporting skills questioned.

But, to you Jimmy Johnson of Fox Sports; Shove a microphone up your ass and go back to peddling your late night snake-oil dick pills. No wonder you coached the Cowboys, you little-dicked scum bag.

"Don't Retreat! -Reload." Remember there is no Tea Party Orthodoxy

Save the strong lose the weak,
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

Until they need one.

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.”

– “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.”

That is what Republicans do immediately when they are out of power.

"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.

Who Will Conservative Terrorists Murder Next? [Disaffected and it Feels So Good]

The Tea Party Massacre in Tucson, Arizona

The Tea Party is responsible for the horrific massacre in Arizona. And they know it.

Because of it they are preparing to violently push back (would you expect anything less of Terrorists) blaming the attack on liberals and claiming the murderer is a "liberal lunatic".

"The left is coming and will hit us hard on this. We need to push back harder. The shooter was a liberal lunatic. Emphasis on both words," wrote Judson Phillips founder of Tea Party Nation.

Putting aside the murderer's fear of government, pro-gold currency screeds which fit perfectly in a Glenn Beck monologue or a Keep Your Government Hands off my Medicare Tea Party Rally, The Tea Party and conservatives have spent the last 2 years vociferously creating a climate of anti-government and hatred for Democrats.

They openly and brazenly brought guns to political rallies. As Chekhov noted,

"If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired."

Well, the guns and violence the Tea Partiers have hung upon themselves just went off.

Just recall the hundreds of signs at Tea Party rallies, "We Came Unarmed [This time]", "The Tree of Liberty needs to be refreshed from time to time...", "Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Their every rally was besot with eliminationist wordage, violent imagery, hatred and murderous intent if their political will was thwarted.

"That's because of the Tea Party movement, all these Tim McVeigh wannabes." ~ Sean Hannity

It's a hallmark of Republican and conservative political dissatisfaction. They threaten violence always and immediately when not in power. And the last two years have seen a horrible toll. This most recent event obviously has captured every one's attention, but we've become so inured to the Conservative calls to Violence and Bloodshed a review of this timeline will make sense of the recent Tea Party Massacre. And cast a chilling light on every good American who now has to live in fear of Conservative Terrorism.

Sarah Palin, who bears a large responsibility for the Tea Party Massacre in Tuscon, has had her aide claim her gunsight targeting of Giffords and 19 other Democrats were "surveyors marks". "Don't retreat, -Reload" those surveyors marks? Of course, the hypocrites of the Right slavishly agree, no Equivocation is too ridiculous for conservatives.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik lays the blame right where it belongs on Sarah Palin and the Tea Party: "When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government," he said. "The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on this country is getting to be outrageous and unfortunately Arizona has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

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 City

Conservatism 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...

The Assassination Attempt on Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 18 other people were shot at a political function, "Congress on Your Corner". 6 human lives were taken and many families shattered as a result of this shooting.

Giffords is a Democrat. Giffords was shot in the head and was initially reported dead but as of now was in surgery. Her vote on the Healthcare Insurance Reform, earned her a target, literally, from Sarah Palin. At an earlier Heathcare reform rally in 2009, an unidentified person dropped a gun. Her stance on Immigration and her beliefs that the right wing beloved Arizona state law demanding random detention of suspected illegals was "divisive" and did “nothing to make the communities I represent safer" earned her the hate and ire of Faux News and the Tea Party.

Here is what the Tea Party used as a political slogan prior to the election:

"Help remove Gabrille Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly"

The Rush will be to blame the Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Sharron Angle, Michael Savage and the other conservative toxic talk show hosts who propound daily their virulent anti-immigrant fear mongering and have used murderous, bloodthirsty gun laden imagery in their quest to destroy the Democratic Party and Barack Obama. And perhaps they should get the blame.

What is without doubt is that conservatives and Tea Party Hateriots have fully embraced the language of violence in the political rhetoric. Every function was an opportunity to have gun-totting mama grizzly invoke the Revolution and violence. There were calls by Sarah Palin to "not retreat, reload" and Palin's "Target the 20". Michele Bachmann wanted her constituents "armed and dangerous" over the Heathcare law Giffords voted for. Sharron Angle urged her supporters to "Use Second Amendment Remedies" to remove Harry Reid. And from Republican Catherine Crabill, "We have a chance to fight this battle at the Ballot Box before we have to resort to the Bullet Box". The use of violence or the threat of violence to effect political change is known as terrorism.

But it's not just conservative bloggers who are actively talking about Violence and Overthrow of the Government.

I hope they do feel threatened. Attempts at peaceable protests have been met at turns by feigned ignorance, then mockery, then attacks on the character and motives of those would not sit quietly by. Perhaps it will take a serious review of our capacity for violence to get them to realize we shall not surrender our individual liberties to their lust for power.

High level Republican Bureaucrats have urged conservatives to violence as well. Here are the fact free musings of Ford and Reagan cabinet members Ernest S. Christian and Gary Robbins in their article; Will Washington's Failures Lead to Second American Revolution?

Conservatism is Terrorism. Get used to it.

Predictably, the Right Wing blogs and their insane adherets are quick to disavow and act as though their bloody invocation to violence and terrorism had nothing to do with this, as they always do. And, this is another part of the problem. When Glenn Beck styles himself a Progressive Hunter and preaches violence against the Tides Foundation or the ACLU or the President everyone shoould fear that someone may act upon the apocalyptic ravings of the domestic terrorists at Faux News.

The Gay Panic of Louie Gohmert

"And if anything, these kids are less innocent — these 16 and 17 year-old beasts…and I've seen what they're doing on YouTube and I've seen what they're doing all over the internet — oh yeah — The kids are egging the Congressman on! The kids are trying to get this out of him." ~ Matt Drudge defends Republican pervert Mark Foley because... well, because Foley is a Republican and IOKIYAR.

So holiday travel caused me to miss the Congress and President Obama succeeding with many legislative victories. The most interesting one was the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the civil rights victory for homosexual women and men in gaining the freedom to serve openly in the military.

Of course, Republicans hate freedom and liberty and wish to force Americans back into the bigoted white, christian, heteronormative gulag the conservative movement longs to force down the throats of every American. So, while it's unsurprising that a mere 23 Republican Senators and Congressmen voted to end DADT, it's safe to say that 90% of Republicans are ignorant bigots who hate America.

A key Republican Champion for bigotry is Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas. Gohmert is most famous for his "Terror Babies" declaration, that America is being invaded by muslims who will have children here then leave, indoctrinate these children as terrorists and let them return (since they are American citizens) as sucidie bombers 20 years later. When pressed by Anderson Cooper who stated flatly, "the FBI says it's not happening" and asked Gohmert to provide the slightest shred of evidence for his cheap pulp fiction scare story, a blubbering Gohmert floundered, stammering "You going to keep me honest! It's happening! It's happening!" and became a mass of incomprehensible gibbering jelly, most Republicans are mounds of flabby pasty jelly sans courage.

Well, following the victory for freedom, Gohmert took to the House floor to recall a tale of gay panic which he suffered back in his military days. The story centered around a gay soldier who apparently made a pass at Gohmert no doubt after he caught Louie staring too long at him while in the showers or after Louie offered the soldier some extra wrestling practice.

Louie was of course super offended. How dare that muscly tight bodied hunk of a soldier tempt Louie Gohmert!

Now, here's the thing, to many conservatives this story sound like a terrible threat which is going to afflict our young men in the service. You see, conservatives don't have any first hand experience with the matter because conservatives are cowards and chicken hawks who don't serve in the military, so they'll have to get there stories second or third hand (but please don't make that a dirty thing).

I, as a Liberal, love America and served in the Marine Corps, so I know about barracks life. The Marines have the worst male-female ratio of all the services (19 to 1). The Army has the most female members of all the branches, so it's interesting that Louie always focused on the men while he was in, but I'm sure he only admired their tight bodies abstractly and nothing more.

Anyway, in the Corps, whenever a young lady transferred to my company and into the barracks her first night would be met by a number of male Marines knocking on her door to introduce themselves. This happened on numerous occasions and barracks fire watch often was tasked with stopping foot traffic to the female barracks area.

Of course, Louie wouldn't know anything about this as his Army time was spent praying to god to remove those mental images of sexy army boys parading their "overt homosexuality" past him.

Paul Ryan resurrects Reagan Voodoo Economics

Bring me your children, they'll burn!
Never look back, never turn!
Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo!! ~ the late Ronnie James Dio and Black Sabbath describe Ronnie Reagan and the Republicans plans for America's future.

Like the Bride of Re-Animator, Paul Ryan who has adopted Reagan's signature up-turned greaser bouffant hairdo is now trying to bring back the Reagan Economic Nightmare. Even classifying Reagan's Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining system of Wealth redistribution as "economics" is insulting. Reagan presided over the Republican push to destroy Social Security.

First, Reagan stole the Social Security funds transferring the money to his cronies and controllers in the Military-Industrial-Complex then after attempting to bankrupt Social Security conservatives began a long propaganda campaign about Social Security's insolvency.

Republicans are truly evil.

Now, Republicans are not merely content with inflicting more harm upon the American people, The Republicans with Paul Ryan as the titular head of the House Budget Committee, are making sweeping changes to the House rules which will allow the Chairman (under the direction of the Party) to have sweeping power over the Budget. He will be able to unilaterally set spending levels that are binding on the House, and any attempt to lessen the impact of these cuts can be ruled out of order.

Will the Republican Chairman's new designation will be Generalissimo? Or Potentate? Or Unilateral Budget Supervisor (UBS)?

The Republicans, who already hate freedom, liberty and Democracy are now trying to bestow upon themselves Absolute Tyrannical power over the American people. It's bad enough the 300 Republican Tyrants in the Federal Government are pushing your economic future into Serfdom, it's probable that now 1 Republican bureaucrat elected by a 100,000 voters will have power to cosign Americans to Wage Slavery and Penury as they follow Paul Ryan's Roadmap to America's Future by eliminating Medicaid, Medicare, Pell Grants and Social Security.
