America's Right-Wing Coup: McJobs for All, Food for None, Tax Cuts for the Rich and Austerity forever

A Coup consists of the infiltration of a small but critical segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder. - Edward Luttwak, Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook
Republicans and their duped Conservative drones are pushing this Nation into a Land which resembles the Feudal Domains of Dark Ages Europe. 400 Americans own more wealth than the over 150,000,000 other Americans.

The Rich did not see the Progressive Victories of last 100 years as permanent and immutable. The Ultra-Reactionary Neo-Liberal Class Warfare the Rich have been waging upon Americans for the last 35 years has been incredibly successful. The 1% have returned America to levels of Income Inequality not seen since the Glided Age of Robber Barons and the Slave Plantations of The Founding Fathers.

A new Massive redistribution of wealth up to the Rentier Class began on November 1st, with the first of $50 Billion in cuts to Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP).
"It took us years to get here but we are here," House Agriculture Committee Chairman Republican Frank Lucas.
It did indeed. Republicans have been demonizing and ostracizing the Poor for decades. The Founding Fathers knew that a Nation built upon the disparity of wealth the Republican Party and the Pro-Business Democrats have created was untenable. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, 4th President of the United States, warned future Americans about Class Warfare, 
"The most common and durable source of faction has been the various and unequal distribution of property..." And,
"We are free today substantially but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few."
Now, Herman Cain succinctly declared the Republicans' simpler understanding of the economy,
"If you're poor... Blame yourself!" 
The cuts to SNAP aren't happening in a vacuum or as part of hypothetical economic model. They are being done while each and every Government program which aids the poor and working class is likewise under assault funded by a few hundred Americans and their Corporate Zombies. Meanwhile, 300 or so Republican apparatchiks have seized vital organs of Government and are using that power to overthrow the Democratic Republic.

And it's succeeding...

Daily, Americans are bombarded by the Right-Wing propaganda machine, AHIP saboteurs, and Republican plotters attempting to undermine the ACA (Obamacare) with their simplistic narrative, 'Obama lied!' so that they true goal of eliminating the Social Safety Net.

Unlike most, Coup attempts the Plutocracy already controls most of the Government, it's just every now and then, those dastardly poor and working class people don't readily vote themselves into Corporate Bondage and Wage Slavery. 

Thus, Obamacare has become the Hill on which the Plutocracy is willing to sacrifice their Republican attack dogs upon because the Rich absolutely loathe the idea of working class people having a bit of breathing room and not living in fear of being bankrupted by a health care crisis.
"One of the problems so far is that many more people are signing up for Medicaid than are signing up to the private insurance plans in the market place" - Chris Wallace, Faux News 
Faux News contributor, Dr. Marc Siegel said in an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show that “there is too much health insurance, it covers too much. Too many people have it."
And Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell complained the Poor people in Kentucky whom he's personally tried to keep down and indigent are getting the benefits of Obamacare, 
"Well, 85 percent of the people who've signed up in Kentucky have signed up for Medicaid. That's free health care. The rollout is quite mixed -- quite mixed -- and largely people signing up for Medicaid. Free health care."
Unlike, Senator McConnell, who "works hard" for his Government provided health care.

Like, the "Banana Republics" fostered by The United Fruit Company or the Anglo-Persian Oil (now known as BP) dealings in Persia, Corporate Monstrosities use money and influence to purchase a Government which conforms to the whims and desires of a small cadre of Wealthy Elites and enforce a Corporate Hegemony which oversees the ruthless implementation of Austerity politics; the raiding of municipal pensions, elimination of food programs for poor children, the destruction of health care for wounded veterans and the blatant theft of the last bits of wealth held by the elderly.
"We live in a society where politics is controlled by money; wealthy individuals and big businesses," Jeffrey Hollender — the founder of the natural products company Seventh Generation.
The 1% of the 1% truly have a vision of a smaller US Government, one small enough to fit in their pocket.

Republicans attempting a Coup d'État

For the second time in 13 years, the Republican Party is attempting to thwart the will of the majority of Americans and enforce an Undemocratic Government which they control upon the US.

Unlike 2000 when the Republicans had a Stooge President installed via the decree of five SC Justices, this Coup involves the Party attempting to enact the Austerity Budget which serves the interests of the Wealthy Elite while pandering to the bigoted Right-Wing base of conservative dupes.

As with the Sequestration, the Republican Plan is to defund elements of the Government which they do not like or which aid those whom they do not represent (children, women, the poor, the Working Class) while selectively transferring Hundreds of Billions of dollars into the hands of the Super Rich.

But, unlike Sequestration the Democratic Party has not agreed to the Republicans duplicitous maneuvers of funding a select few slivers of the Government.

Additionally, the Shutdown has a chance of running into the Debt Ceiling and becoming a bigger problem. Or does it?
"Most budget agreements in the past have always involved debt limit increases. We think that's the forcing mechanism, just like the Budget Control Act that President Obama signed before." Representative P90X Ryan.
As Ryan's admission and other revelations have shown us, it appears the Republican Party had no intention of dealing fairly with the President, the Democratic Party or the American People. Nor has the Modern GOP ever had any intention of working for the American people.

What they have planned ever since losing the 2012 Presidential Election and garnering 1.5 million fewer votes for the House of Representatives was to install the Ultra-Reactionary Budget of the 1% and bring the Nation to it's knees in order to install a Neo-Feudalist State.

Under a "President" Romney, America would have been broken under the Paul Ryan's Work You to Death Budget, but having failed to win an election (despite Voter Suppression efforts in several swing states) Republicans are attempting a Coup. Election results be damned.

The Government Shutdown is a misnomer, many parts of the Government are still being funded, but parts of the Government that Republicans hate, the furloughed Government Workers who earn a decent wage and the EPA for instance, are feeling the crunch.
"You want my opinion? This is President Obama’s shutdown. He is responsible for shutting this thing down. No, I don’t think they should get their back pay, frankly, I really don’t. I’m sick and tired of a massive, bloated federal bureaucracy living on our backs, and taking money out of us, a lot more money than most of us earn in the private sector, then getting a furlough, and then getting their money back at the end of it. Sorry, I’m not for that. I want to punish these people. - Stuart Varney, Faux News resident Upper Class Tory Twit. 
"These People" whom Varney wants to punish are middle class Americans who work as Park Rangers being subjected to the scorn of the flabby, pasty chicken hawk Randy Neugebauer or as the Capitol Police potentially risking their lives to protect the very Republicans who have them working without pay. 

They aren't K Street lobbyists, they aren't Hedge Fund Vultures and that's the point. They aren't Rich. Actions speak louder than words so we didn't need Varney's verbal confirmation that a Republican Government is out to harm 99% of Americans, while blaming President Obama, and reduce us to Wage Slavery but there it is...

The Democratic Republic is about to go under. We have an Income Inequality and Wealth Gap heretofore unseen in American History.

And we have 300 Republican Fanatics who have undertaken a Crusade to purge Washington DC of all the Progressive gains of the 20th century and return us to their Idyllic Era of the Glided Age when Unrestrained Vulture Capitalism and Corporate Juggernauts roamed the Lands as Colossus, crushing all beneath their Iron Heel and greasing their gears with the blood of thousands.

It's not called Sharia Law when Totalitarian Conservatives do it...

Republican controlled State Legislatures along with Republicans Peter King, Steve King, Roy Blunt, Mitch McConnell in the House and Senate and most of the stinking trash known as Right-Wingers were so frightened of Sharia Law being adopted in the US they held mulitiple tribunals and crafted legislation in over 20 states designed to make Sharia Law's adoption illegal.

Now we know why the Teahaddists were scared of a Sharia Law being forced upon the American people. The Totalitarian Conservative Christians were planning on forcing their silly religious precepts and Dominionist dogmas upon all of us as soon as they got the power.

The Republican Scum in the Federal Government are trying to force legislation through to establish Christian Fascist Religious control upon all Americas using Healthcare as their vehicle of conversion. Republican fanatic Roy Blunt proposed a "Religious Freedom" Rider onto a Transportation bill in the Senate.

Of course, the rider has nothing to do with a Transportation Bill but, Republicans are shameless in pushing their bigoted Totalitarian Control onto America. The amendment contains the following language:
While PPACA provides an exemption for some religious groups that object to participation in Government health programs generally, it does not allow purchasers, plan sponsors, and other stakeholders with religious or moral objections to specific items or services to decline providing or obtaining coverage of such items or services, or allow health care providers with such objections to decline to provide them.
So, if your employer is a right-winger who, ipso facto doesn't like women, and he "morally objects" to pap smears; Boom it's no longer covered for you. Roy Blunt and the 300 Republican bureaucrats in DC believe that your employer should be able to tell you, the American citizen what kind of healthcare you receive, based on his feelings...

Mitch McConnell braved the terrible Liberal Media on Sunday to tell CBS host Bob Schieffer, "This issue will not go away until the administration simply backs down." Bob Scieffer wanted to know if McConnell supported Blunt's Rider to allow any employer the "Right" to deny any coverage because of their moral feelings. McConnell of course replied, “Yeah,” McConnell admitted. “Of course, I’d be happy to support it and intend to support it."

So in Mitch McConnell's America if you work for a Christian Scientist who doesn't believe in blood transfusions then tough shit dude he can deny covering it. If you're working for a Scientologist who believes Lithium and any other drug designed to treat depression or psychotic mental problems are not effective because of his "serious moral concerns" boom you just lost healthcare coverage for those drugs.

President Obama's defense of woman's rights to healthcare and his incredibly crafty manuever is exposing us to the True Horror of Conservatism. The Right has fully embraced Totalitarianism and Religious Dictatorship.

We are in the age of Dominionism. Wherein the Totalitarian Right and their zealous Christian Fascists have decided to regain control of the Government through Terrorism and Religion.

Conservatives assassinate Doctors, Republicans push through legislation to deny Americans medical care, Totalitarian Right-Wingers redefine rape to punish victims and abolish basic human rights.

It's because the Right sees their control slipping. As soon as this Nation starts treating American as individuals and provides them Positive Liberties and Positive Rights the Totalitarian Republicans will be in danger of losing their power and ability to defend the 1% who use these social issues to divide and conquer.

Newt Gingrich, a perfect amalgam of Hitler and Reagan

Newt Gingrich is a "viciously racist" Welfare Queen, Progressive Taxation Champion - Higher Taxes on the Poor, Lower Taxes on the Rich - composite of Adolf W. Reagan and Ronald Hitler all rolled into one big, fat, taxpayer subsidized maggot.

Newt, like all chicken hawk Republicans of his era abstained from Vietnam, but being a flabby-assed, weak-kneed, coward knew he couldn't hack it in the Real World. So Newt began running for a Government "Job" in 1974. Upon arriving in DC in 1978, Gingrich began his long career of comparing his political opponents to Neville Chamberlain, which contrary to what he "thinks" obviously makes Newt Hitler. Q.E.D. Godwin's Law really should be called Gingrich's Law.

Newt has even proposed The Newt Gingrich Youth. Gingrich called laws against child labor "truly stupid" and unveiled a plan so vile and so hateful, it not only puts poor children to work and eliminates their access to an education but, also takes jobs from struggling fathers and mothers.

During his time sucking off taxpayers Newt Gingrich's career goal has been to create Cargo Cult Conservatism. Republicons have been promising their duped and battered conservative drones that trickle down wealth is at hand for decades. All right-wingers need do is keep on voting for Republicans and the Rain of Wealth would fall on them.

In keeping in line with this cycle, Republicon Presidential Front Runner Newt Gingrich revealed his tax plan. Guess what? Just like with Herman Cain's ridiculous proposal, Taxes are higher on Middle Class and Small Business Owners than they are on the Super-Rich.

The Newt Gingrich plan, has a higher Federal Tax Rate for struggling Americans making $40,000 (12.7%) than for those earning over $1,000,000 (11.9%). Additionally, taxes on Income from Capital Gains would be eliminated.

Newt is a solid member of the Republican Guard, out to harass, harm, oppress and defeat the 99%. Gingrich proudly proclaims himself a "Reaganite" and his tax proposal is right in line with Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics. Screw the Majority of Americans and solidify the Transfer of Wealth up to the Richest 1%.

We've already seen that due to the Reagan instituted lowering of the Capital Gains tax rate, 50% of all Capital Gains profits go to the Richest 0.1% of the US. Gingrich's complete elimination would result in an even faster Transfer of Wealth upwards and accelerate the Income Inequality in this Nation to levels not seen since the Pharaohs.

But, Newt off-sets his vicious Neo-Feudalist Class Warfare by declaring he doesn't want to pay people for 99 weeks for sitting on their rear end. Oh wait, that's merely more attack the Poor Class Warfare! While, this rhetoric of not providing unemployment to anyone scores points with the duped and battered conservative voter, Newt Gingrich has never had a real job in his life.

Newt has spent 20 years working stealing in Congress and after being forced out due to rampant ethics violations transformed his DC Insider status into $60,000 dollar-an-hour speaking fees and peddling his influence to Freddie Mac for a cool $1,600,000 dollar kick-back. Gingrich is the epitome of the Republicon Welfare Queen. Getting paid millions of dollars by the Government for doing nothing.

To all the Republicon backers and all the conservatives out there you are clearly supporting a party which is anti-American. But, one of the most stunning achievements of Newt Gingrich, Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Phil Graham, Racist Limbaugh, Tom DeLay, Michele Bachmann and all the current 300 Republicon Bureaucrats is how successful their full-blown John Bircher assaults have been at transferring the blame and guilt for their rampant corruption, high crimes and misdemeanors to Liberals and the Left.

Update:
When one needs to grasp the full tenor and terror of the puffy-faced wide-bottomed champion of toxicity that is Newt Gingrich one need only level their gaze at the magnificent Driftglass: Where Were You.

This is What Republicans Believe: They get Medicare, You Don't

Everything done by the Federal Government is Socialism... Unless it benefits Republicans and their Corporate Masters.

Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) had to put the plebs from his district back in their place with a town hall meeting, when some non-Republican person dared to question him!
Ilene Johnson, a Democratic activist who lives in Gwinnett County, "You take government-subsidized health care, but you are not obligated to take that if you don’t want to. Why aren’t you going out on the free market in the state where you are a resident and buy your own health care?"

Rob Woodall, "It’s because it’s free. It’s because it’s free."
Woodall went on to claim, "Folks, if you give people things for free, don’t blame them for taking them." First off stop with the usage of the term 'Folks'. It doesn't make you seem aw, schucks small townish. Second, Woodall probably thought he was winning points with the crowd with his subjects by educating them about how Medicare is a free service for 'welfare queens' but as always Republicans lie.

Medicare, Medicaid aren't "things for free". They are programs which have been bought and paid for by the American People. And what the Republicans and Paul Ryan are trying to do with their 'Here are Some Coupons go out and try to get Cancer Medication' Deathcare plan is steal that money.

On Newt Gingrich's studio home at Meet The Press David Gregory talked about Paul Ryan Deathcare Plan:
"So, Ruth Marcus, what wins here, bold leadership on Medicare and the argument that the Democrats won't do something courageous or the Democrats who say, hey, those guys want to take away my medicare?"
It's Bold! It's Courageous! Forcing old people to try and pay for their healthcare with a quickly devalued coupon? Forcing sick children to get coverage from Insurance Companies which are caught cheating those children out of coverage now:
Illinois Blue Cross and Blue Shield to pay $25 million fraud settlement for denying coverage to sick children in need of nursing care by "fraudulently" shifting their claims to Illinois' Medicaid programBlue Cross (Chicago Tribune Feb 24, 2011)
When it comes to Medicare, everyone in America, a nation of 300 Million persons should be aware that the 300 Never-Done-An-Honest -Days-Worth-Of-Labor Republican Bureaucrats have been instructed to destroy it and replace it with Paul Ryan's Deathcare Program.

It doesn't matter 80% of the American People dislike these Republican policies because the GOP ignores the will of the people and serve the interests of Billionaires. But, the blatant hypocrisy is galling. Republicans don't even care. They lie to cameras, they lie to consitutents, they lie, lie, lie. Because, even if they do get voted out their families financial future is safe and secure. All these 2010 Teabagged Republicans enjoy lifetime pensions. They see no problem in slashing your benefits while ensuring they will continue to get them.

And all they have to do to win this financial security is cosign We, The People to Perpetual Wage Slavery.
"Labor is a commodity just like corn or beans or oil or gold, and the value of it needs to be determined by the competition, supply and demand in the workplace," -Steve King (R-IA).
You are nothing more than a non-durable good, a cog, in the machines of Industry and War and the Republicans have no problem telling you your value, wage slave.

And they'll gladly do it with a ready lie on their lips but, by hook or by crook, the Republicans are going to force America into perpetual bondage in service to their Plutocratic Masters,
"[O]ne way or the other, either through the Supreme Court or the legislature, these reforms will be put into place," Scott Walker, Koch Governor.

Republican John Shimkus turning Illinois into Alabama

If you repeat a lie often enough, You're a Republican...
There is no doubt nor any reasonable discussion concerning global climate change. It has occurred in the past, it is occurring now, and it will continue to occur in the future. The only area for debate is the amount of impact positive and negative that man can have on the world. This should not be a political issue but guess who wants to make it one, that's right, the Republican Party.

Now some Republicans are climate change deniers out of brazen political machinations. Battered conservative voters hate the world and demand America be different, so if the world scientific community agrees climate change is happening then conservatives reflexively demand their politicians deny it.

But other Republican seek to impose their religious bigotry and ignorance onto America. Such as Republican Congressman John Shimkus of Illinois.



"I believe that is the infallible word of god," Shimkus declared because jesus whispers it into his ear every night in the original Aramaic that climate change isn't real, carbon dioxide makes for good breathing, and miners hate mine safety laws because they aren't in the bible or Constitution.

So, no amount of evidence will ever be enough for Shimkus because everything on earth (besides the bible) is coated in man's inherent evilness and as such can never dissuade him. John Shimkus is now vying for the leadership spot of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Get used to it America. The 300 Republican Tyrants in the Federal Government are going to run your life. The 300 Republican Tyrants are going to decide (often times based on a collection of bronze age myths of desert nomads) what is best for you, what you can and can not do with your body, what your quality of life will be and for how long they work you until Republicans deem you to old or ineffective and leave you to die.

Offensive Conservatives set to Steal your Social Security

[A]nd now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it . . . - George Carlin
George Bush has finally owned up to his biggest mistake while in office... not Stealing your Social Security. While in Chicago promoting his book, President Bush proudly claimed 9/11 as one of his successes, "In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe," Bush said. But, he lamented his greatest failure that he wasn't able to privatize Social Security.

It's all right there for you America. They are coming to undo it all. They'll start with an Impeachment of President Obama for failing to provide his DNA to the Birthers, then they'll move onto their real goals; eliminate Social Security, eliminate Medicare, eliminate the Department of Labor and Education, eliminate the EPA, OSHA, MSHA, the Consumer Protection agencies, Wall Street oversight, and turn the America people into a mass of Wage Slaves working hard for 40 years and then cut loose to die of old age, injuries and lack of Healthcare coverage. Republicans want you to be nothing more than an obedient slave

And it will be The 300 who will accomplish it. 5 SC Justices, 50 Senators and 245 Congressmen; 300 Republicans. Those 300 will shut down Government. They will cut benefits for American workers and pass budgets which underfund any Government Agency which blocks the sadistic Corporate Rape America First crowd. They will offshore so many jobs and import so many immigrants that you will grovel and thank them when they provide you with just enough money to keep from starving and freezing to death.

That is the Government the Republican Party is telling the American People it will create; A mean, nasty and brutish regime. 300 Republican Bureaucrats who work for their Plutocratic Overlords to cosign the American Middle Class to history and shackle the American people with the chains of Corporate Bondage.

What Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol are Actually saying...

Imagine what horrible fate awaits my enemies when I would gladly kill any of my own men for victory. ~ Xerxes, 300
Similar to the ridiculous 300 version of King Xerxes, Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol are ridiculous characters on TV who let it be known every Sunday and many times in-between that they would gladly see any number of innocents die in order to achieve their goals.

The latest 'Al Qaeda 7' ad has stirred up much controversy. But, while it is true that Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol hate President Obama so completely they will fear monger, attack and lie about him and his administration everyday; the reasons they are doing so are as old as civilization itself.

The way the American Legal System is sometimes encapsulated is with Blackstone's Ratio, 'Better a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man suffer.' But to Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol and their like-minded Conservatives the exact opposite is true. More precisely Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol don't care about justice, they care about and crave power. And if that power must be gotten through the deaths of hundreds or thousands of innocents or the wanton sacrifice of the military then so be it.

Liz Cheney has ridden Dick to get into her position, a parasite who lives by sucking off other men in Government. She doesn't care about the lives her lies and propaganda destroy and why should she? None of her children will ever be put in Harm's Way. None of her children will ever be sacrificed for a War for Republican Profits...

As a Police Officer I hate to see bad guys get away especially if I've put in some work making a good case against them. But, I am keenly aware of the coercive power of the State (something which Conservatives sometimes acknowledge - more later) and the necessity of a good, spirited yet legal defense for the defendant.

Conservatives claim to revile the Power of Government, but it's a lie. Conservatives only fear Government when the wrong people are in power, usually Blacks but always when it's a Liberal. When Conservatives are power they use the destructive and coercive power of every single level of Government to advance their personal beliefs, to curtail human rights, to enshrine ignorance, to steal money and to empower themselves for future power grabs.
*Please Note: This above post is abrogated in the case of Republicans, in those cases the State is persecuting an innocent and no amount of evidence will ever convince them of a Republicans guilt and Republicans can lie, fabricate evidence if they are in pursuit of the Republicans goals of stealing money, oppressing the poor and killing innocents.
