Darrell Issa's committee and the months long hearings on Fast & Furious fall under the auspices of 'Where there's smoke there's fire' in attempting to convince Americans that all the fake pout rages by conservatives and hours upon hours of hearings and Faux News coverage indicate some vast, far-reaching conspiracy.
Now, Fast & Furious, Operation: Wide Receiver, and Gunwalking Stings have always struck me as wrongheaded and foolish. I don't subscribe to giving weaponry to "bad guys" in attempt to catch them doing bad things.
But, those type of Operations were very vogue amongst the Bush White House and his Chief Torturers John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales.
Those Operations allowed the Terra-wrist Fightin' Cowboy Bush to amble his way into a press conference and announce he foiled 13 Terrorist Plots this month and 6 terrorist plots that month...
Republicans like Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma even took to the Senate Floor to praise George W(orst President Ever) Bush for keeping America safe, except for that whole 9/11 thingie...
Nowadays, things are different, chief amongst the differences is the anti-America, Kenyan, Marxist, secret muslim, "monkey president" occupying the White House. Thus, everything that came before can be ignored in the #1 Goal of Republicans and Conservatives everywhere making America fail in order to regain the levers of Control.
Now, good right-wing propaganda involves utter falsehoods and complete lies, but Great Right-Wing propaganda has a kernel of impropriety attached to it. Conservatives have already allowed themselves to be convinced this whole incident is far worse than Watergate. But, when President Obama invoked Executive Privilege, well, while most right-wingers were convinced President Obama should have been impeached the day he took office, this whole debacle is "proof" the Department of Justice, AG Eric Holder and by extension President Obama are involved in "impeachable" offenses.
This entire spectacle is nothing more than an attempt to so stress, confuse, infuriate, exasperate and torture the American people that they will willingly concede and accept the chains of Slavery, Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have guaranteed they will shackle upon 99% of the American people.
Why haven't the historically low tax rates not created millions of jobs?
Sending Jobs Overseas helps the U.S. - Bush Economic Council: "Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade," said N. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, which prepared the report. Last year's Economic Report of the President predicted that 1.7 million jobs would be created in 2003. Instead, the nation lost 53,000 jobs. In Bush's three years in office, 2.2 million jobs have disappeared.It's been 10 years since taxes were slashed and the 'Job Creators' still aren't creating jobs. Why?
Hey, middle class conservative. See that conclusion? That's your taxes going UP while Mitt Romney's go DOWN |
While, it's already been proven that Senator Mitch McConnell is a paid Guard Dog for the Plutocracy he apparently feels no compunction in showing he is so out-of-touch with what 99% of Americans are dealing with during this Republican Recession.
First Mitch expressed his anger at how the Poor have it so good and repeated the oft-quoted and refuted Republican lie about taxes, "Between 45 percent and 50 percent of Americans pay no income tax at all."
Then Mitch bowed to his Plutocratic Overlords and assured them what Republicans and President Mitt Romney will do is slash any Government program which aids the poor or Middle Class, "The issue of revenue, from our point of view, is tied to serious entitlement reform."
And President Mitt Romney has explicitly stated he will not only keep the current stratification going but will accelerate it. Mitt Romney's tax plan and the Paul Ryan Death to the Middle Class Budget are designed with the goal of making devastating cuts to Federal Programs designed to aid the poor and struggling Americans, while shifting those American Tax Dollars into the off-shore bank accounts of the Rich.
It's all out there to see, America. The Republican Party is telling you, now quite clearly, that they will cut your legs out from under you in service to the Rich.
And they know that if like colicky babies, they bitch, moan, pout and shout loud enough and long enough about President Obama enough Americans will give into their Temper Tantrum and allow themselves to give away their freedom for Corporate Bondage.
The Republicans have not one bit of evidence against the AG for this Bush 43 program. Next week they will vote in the house, contempt will pass, the justice department will take over jurisdiction at that point and that is the end of it since Obama declared for only the first time executive p.
ReplyDeleteThe defenders of wealth and power GoP are not even offering that anything wrong was done, just that they want another 15,000 pages turned over to go along with the 20,000+ already given them. Shit, all the sudden they want to read. They said 2,000 pages of health care reading was beyond anyones ability or interest, Scalia (as he voted against it like a motherfucker) declared he would not read it's 2,000 pages either.
Obama Fatigue is brilliant. They've laid the blame for all the fucked up shit they've been doing on him.
ReplyDeleteShipping jobs overseas? Terrorist Attacks? Housing Bubble? Taxes? Poor Race Relations?
The Right-Wing has adopted the Personally, I Blame Obama canard as their mantra.
I'm worried at the damage the Republicans and conservatives are going to do when he wins re-election.
Also, I wonder what they will Impeach him over.
all for the crime of "Unforgivable Blackness".
There's also a theory -- from Nancy Pelosi -- that the GOP is going after Eric Holder to get even with him for cracking down on voter suppression in the red states. I wouldn't doubt it.
ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteNo doubt AG Holder sure doesn't know his "place" when talking to Republicans.
This response to John Cornyn last week is really the last thing he should say,
"If you want to talk about Fast and Furious, I’m the attorney general that put an end to the misguided tactics that were used in Fast and Furious. An attorney general whom I suppose you would hold in higher regard was briefed on these kinds of tactics in an operation called “Wide Receiver” and did nothing to stop them. Nothing. Three hundred guns, at least, “walked” in that instance."
And despite what conservatives believe the guns lost in Wide Receiver weren't tracked and are not accounted for...
Obama and his grubby gang of corrupt incompetents are to blame for Obama Fatigue Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteThe left essentially did this to Bush, so the psychological projection from the left is stunning.
Patricia,
ReplyDeleteI can only hope your wrong, but with conservatives caught in their own destructive loop of anger and hatred when President Obama wins re-election it will be, to them, a mathematical impossibility and represent a total system failure. And when desperate angry people face such a cognitive dissonance bad things happen.
