Sandra Fluke will be destroyed by the Totalitarian Right

“We refuse to pick between a quality education and our health.” - Champion of Liberty, Sandra Fluke

If you've ever wanted to see what the Totalitarian conservative War Machine does to it's targeted victims take a speculative stroll through a few Right-Wing Blogs; Jammie Wearing Fool, Pat Dollard, Glenn Beck's The Blaze, Free Republic, The Other McCain concerning Sandra Fluke.

It's chilling. The vitriol. The hatred. It's how people convince themselves to do something about political opponents.

The low-grade insults are merely the initial attacks what is fascinating are how the Conspiracy Theories spring forth from the minds of Right-Wingers.

Already the Right-Wing Noise Machine begins: Comments and bloggers allege she is a lesbian, she is a plant by President Obama or the White House specifically dispatched to Georgetown to create a birth control controversy, alleging that the Healthcare Coverage change is a mandate to abort children.

It‘s worth noting the massive number of women’s issues groups Fluke was involved in, even while in college. Because every Totalitarian Right-Winger knows any woman involved in woman's groups is a Feminazi. Q.E.D.

That’s right. It seems Fluke intentionally chose to go to Georgetown so she could agitate and sway them to cover contraceptives Dun dun dun! How dare she try and sway an institution! She should just have shown up at Georgetown wearing Revolutionary garb and holding a Tea Party sign declaring "I came unarmed this time..."

This broad went to the school strictly to challenge its insurance’s contraceptive policy, not even as a real student…and all magically timed to coincide with Obama’s big contraceptive push… Except, of course, she's been a student at Georgetown since 2009.

This is followed by Faux News and their incestuous amplification of fact-free conspiracies as Eric Boiling stated, "Fluke seems like a plant." However, Right-Wingers need little convincing. For they already have their pre-conceived notions. Birth Control is immoral hold some aspirin between your knees or we will denounce you as a slut.

This is the Republican/Right-Wing/Conservative position: Any woman who uses contraception, covered by an insurer, is a slut in the eyes of every Right-Winger.

So, even though Racist Limpballs backed down don't expect Totalitarian Right-Wingers to stop the insults, the Assault on Women and the plan to turn women into oppressed second-class citizens in America.

American Capitalism and the Conservative Alternate Reality

As I've shown before it's not about projection or transference it's about self-delusion and self-conditioning.

Conservatives want to believe everything they hear on Faux News and every Did you see this conspiracy chain email they get, they want to believe the shit Republicans shovel into their heads daily. Now, beyond the endorphin rush of Deluding Themselves they are Right, it makes little sense why Conservatives allow themselves to be the dupes and rubes of the 1%.

"Not intended to be a Factual Statement..." Republican Party Motto.

Bill Maher recently had a segment proving what I've written about conservatives creating an alternate reality,

You know, Republicans have created this completely fictional President. His name is Barack X, and he's an Islamo-socialist revolutionary who's coming for your guns, raising your taxes, slashing the military, apologizing to other countries, and taking his queues from Europe, or worse yet Saul Alinsky.

And this is how politics has changed. You used to have to run against an actual candidate. But now you just recreate him inside the bubble and run against your new fictional candidate. That's how Bush won in 2004 - by running against John Kerry, a French war criminal.

Conservatives live in a fantasy world, an alternate reality, a pernicious bubbling cauldron of lies, propaganda, and schemes, populated by faked photos, insane liars and Michele Bachmann (although that is redundant).

Here are the Free Republic clowns proclaiming 'Ha ha! Jack Cashill's cheap photoshopped and manufactured image is final proof, the smoking gun, which proves we were right!'

Just like with the Forged Kenyan Birth Certificate anything which conforms to the Alternate Reality Right-Wingers dwell in is taken as fact while actual truth is annihilated in their mad rush to destroy Barack Obama.

Like that time Barack Obama spent $200,000,000 a day and had 200 US Navy warships escort him on a vacation to India. Well, at least that's what Michele Bachmann told Sean Hannity on Faux News!

Really why not lie? Conservative rubes aren't going to question anything, even when they know it's a lie, because they swallowed the Right-Wing Bullshit for so long for them to admit the Republican Party is a cesspool of bigots, thieves, cowards, imbeciles and liars who've used themfor decades is too hard to admit. So, they go along with the Right-Wing Liars, aiding their propagandists by conditioning themselves to believe that which is not true.

But, the Creation of the Conservative Alternate Reality wasn't for the sole purpose of making President Obama "A Ooooooonnnneeee Teeeeeeerrrrrrrrrm President!"

It was crafted so the 1% could have their Republicon Guard Dogs create a Corrupt System of Rampant Theft and call it Capitalism. “We need to defend the morality of the free enterprise system. We need to defend the morality of a system in American... That’s something we should be proud of," Paul Ryan murderous attack dog of the Plutocracy.

The Plutocracy's System requires a lot of defending. In order for the 1% to enjoy all they have stolen, it means certain facts about America's History need be voided or erased.

The Tennessee Tea Party wants to "correct" the record about Slavery and the Genocide of Native Americans because an "awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.”

“There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...that says, fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.”

NJ Governor Chris Christie declared we didn't need a Civil Rights struggle, "I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South.” Just let the Rich White Guys take care of it!

So, Slavery, Suffrage, Jim Crow, the Plight of Migrant workers, Unions, Civil Rights, the profligate gambling of Wall Street all need to go. Never happened. Read Conservapedia for the True History!

But, these false assertions are treated as worthy of an actual debate instead of being summarily dismissed as hogwash and claptrap. But, that is whom the Republicon Dogs are defending the Right of Rich White Guys the 1% to continue to rob, steal, and oppress the 99%.

The Norwegian christian Terrorist wanted an anti-muslim/counter jihad Crusade?

So, why didn't he sign up and head on over to Afghanistan? ISAF has a Norwegian component which currently leads the PRT in Meymaneh.

Of course, the suspected terrorist Anders Behring Breivik reportedly has a 1500 page manifesto wherein he is mad at 'The Rise of Cultural Marxism', islam, education of women and liberal values.

I'm not going to read the ramblings, but I will note that Max Blumenthal holds in, Anders Behring Breivik, a perfect product of the Axis of Islamophobia the following:

As horrific as Breivik’s actions were, he can not be dismissed as a “madman.” His writings contain the same themes and language as more prominent right-wing Islamophobes (or those who style themselves as “counter-Jihadists”) and many conservatives in general.

And I see that he prepared for this attack; he 'Roided-up, planned to have distraction music (Lux Aeterna by Clint Massell on repeat) blaring if he felt his will/strength/adrenaline rush fade, counted on his simulated training and superior weapons and armor.

And always remember, unlike what Ayn Rand would demand you believe, his perception was reality. He considered himself a culture warrior, a modern Justicar, a crusading knight in the battle for cultural conservative christian heritage. Thus he targeted hundreds of young members of the country’s Labour Party who gather to discuss politics and democracy at Utoya island. He apparently blamed the Labour Party and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg of perpetuating "cultural Marxist/multiculturalist ideals" and indoctrinating youth with those ideals.

While Faux News predictably ran with this must be the work of muslim extremists as Glenn Greenwald pointed out the first reaction by everyone, The New York Times, CNN is to find a angle to blame the omnipresent Al Qaeda. As Greenwald sardonically observed,

Al Qaeda is always to blame, even when it isn't, even when it's allegedly the work of a Nordic, Muslim-hating, right-wing European nationalist.

This fanatic will accomplish much by his terrorism. He's murdered a hundred people, he's caused deep pyschological damage to hundreds more, thousands of grieving family members will live their lives with a giant hole in their soul, thousands more will curtail and self-censor themselves out of fear and those with whom he shares the ideological spectrum will wash their hands of the incident by proclaiming The No True christian/conservative/counter-jihadist/whatever would do these things defense.

The lessons to take away from this are carry a piece and be ready to pre-emptively use it if:
- someone starts bemoaning the rise of Marxism,
- someone on steriods is listening to cheesy faux-classical music,
- you see a blonde christian walking towards you,
- a person wearing a tri-cornered hat is carrying an AR-15,
- you're attending a Liberal political gathering and Andrew Breitbart attempts to crash it.

Because Guns save Lives...

Update:
Over at the Blog Gates of Vienna, the poster "Fjordman", claims the now defunct Fjordman Blog (out of Norway) did not belong to the terrorist A. B. Breivik. When an incident like this occurs and the murderers' ideological structure coincides with Intolerance, the Intolerant begin to parse and walk around the edge of the Ends Justifies the Means while distancing themselves from that which they have wrought and preached.

Here's s snippet of Team Member Zenster epitomizing the I secretly agree with what the terrorist did but know I can't shout for joy: Just now, Europe's Politically Correct Multi-Culturalist politicians have gotten their first glimpse of the repercussions that await further betrayal of their own kith and kin.

Update 2:
So, I know it's Free Republic (one of the worst right wing sites) but the comments are an interesting look into the minds of those who engage in logical fallacies/word games/parsing in order to disavow someone's ideology. Have a look if you care too...

May Day

I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. ~ Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction

We should all remember the American Workers who have been murdered in the past by Plutocratic businessmen. This year has been especially horrid for workers in historically dangerous fields because Republicans worked diligently to undercut safety regulations and obstruct violation enforcement which would hamper business.

Yet, despite blatant and brazen theft and murder by The Free Market, Republicans and Conservatives continue to claim Corporations have your best interest at heart. They do not. Any single American worker or consumer has always been nothing more than an actuarial inconvenience to business designs. Temporary ephemeral fleeting nuisances to be robbed, injured or killed by their unsafe products, working conditions or complicated Wall Street financial scams but, nonetheless just one person and therefore nearly powerless. Americans learned this after the Civil War and organized into Unions to battle this power and money which viewed people as cogs in the machines of Industry and War.

But, no victories are ever permanent. Corporate Power responded by crafting the Republican Party, a soulless undying monster to wrest control of government and work to provide legal cover for Corporate Theft and Murder.

What we've learned over and over is that Businesses can not be counted on to work safely or responsibly and when Republicans are in office those businesses will further undercut safety and create more and more elaborate theft schemes because they know Republicans won't prosecute them even when "Free Markets" collapse, Americans die and Ecology's are devastated.

But, the most terrible and pitiable thing is the Republicans know that even with the power they wield for Death and Destruction they would be unable to further the schemes of their Socialist Kleptocratic Overlords without an enforcement arm.

Historically, this has been accomplished through the use of Police, the creation of a middle management class and racism. By creating a class of gatekeepers and watchdogs, slightly elevated above the majority of workers, Republicans know this group of guards will work to keep the systems of control in place and ensure the Plutocratic Rulers of America expand their vast stores of wealth they have accumulated through wage slavery and murder.

But, even this system has flaws and the Gatekeepers become disillusioned by the rampant corruption of the Conservative Elites and the anti-human arrogance and rancid milk of Republican kindness which would let the poor starve because to Republicans "the poor are like stray animals".

But, when Americans revolt against Republican evil, the Right responds with Terrorism, Bigotry and War to keep the people divided and powerless.

Republicans are the Overseers of the American Gulag, but unlike their brothers the Soviet Commissars, Republicans cloak their Evil in a patina of Righteousness. The Right knows villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to identify and seek to cover their abject evil behind god, guns and the flag.

But, the saddest part is to see those abused and brainwashed Americans who have partaken and been consumed by the bitter brew of Republican Deception seek to abuse and enslave their fellow Americans.

The Republicans know that none will fight so hard as the mentally enslaved themselves. None will fight harder to to retain their chains of mental bondage than Conservatives.

The Girl from Georgia (USSR)

Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood ~ Angel of Death, SLAYER

The Republican Party and it's frenzied supporters, the 9/12ers, Birtherites, Teabaggers, Get-a-Job Shouters, have seemingly ingested the novel and film The Boys from Brazil and thus have been transformed into an unrecognizable conglomeration of madmen who scream and yell, talk real tough and make hysterical demonstrations of anger but despite their convictions that President Obama is Islamo-Hitler they lack courage and are thus nothing but Punk Ass Bitches.

Enter the Taitz, The Girl from Georgia (USSR)*. Orly Taitz has convinced the Republican Party that Obama is one of titular characters in the novel and film, a genetic clone of Adolf Hitler.

Watch the battle scene between two greats, Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier, and Peck's prophetic revelation of Obama's true heritage as the Islamo-Hitler of the 2000s.

But, now watch as Punk Ass Bitch Republican Jean Schmidt tells an angry Birthrite accuser she agrees with her and not with the American courts.

But, while the Party of Ronald Reagan has embraced and championed Taitz, a child of the evil empire; a Soviet Citizen like Orly Taitz would never be taken seriously unless there was a constant stream of invective being leveled against the President. A ceaseless river of false witness which has flowed from the mouths of Fox News. Whether it be one of the Isms; fascism, communism, socialism, marxism or Obama's desire to destroy America or kowtowing to every foreign dictator; no lie is too unbelievable, no slander too ridiculous, no charge too outlandish for Fox News.



So, enamored and beguiled by a godless Communist Soviet Agent, the Punk Ass Bitch Republicans and their brain washed Self-Appointed Chicken Hawk He-Man America Defenders have allowed themselves to made fools of as Taitz paraded ridiculous Kenyan Birth Certificate forgeries and outlandish lawsuits which when tossed out by American judges merely serve to strengthen their resolve and inflame their fanaticism.

*- Orly Taitz is actually from the Moldavian SSR, the other side of the Black Sea but I needed the Georgian SSR for the alliteration.

Update:
Ha ha ha the NBC series Night Court had a premonition about Orly Taitz in the episode The Game Show from 1989. Dan Fielding summed up Orly succinctly 20 years ago, “Well, I have pieced it together, and it seems I was kidnapped and drugged by… Soviet agents."

Race in America

Shadwell hated all southerners and, by inference, was standing at the North Pole. ~ Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

As a continuation of the Henry Louis Gates thread I'll expound on Race. I don't know Professor Gates, it's possible he's a racist (by which I mean he hates people because they are white or projects his general bad feelings about whites onto specific white people), it may even be probable.

To me the whole concept of Race is a bullshit construct. Historically, it was used as a way to divide poor blacks and poor whites. The poor white share cropper could always hold in his heart the "at least I'm white canard" and allow himself to be duped into believing he and the rich white man were the same despite his malnutrition, bowed back, calloused hands and short life expectancy.

But, our current ideas on Race have been built upon the edifice of the incorrect scientific thinking of the 19th century. This is not to damn the creators of the ideas of race but to point out that as Scientific thinking has evolved and explored new and unforeseen areas while also self-correcting yet there still exist charlatans and demagogues (Jesse Jackson and R. Limbaugh) as in the past who will ignore this and use the 19th century constructs to sunder humanity, usually for political or economic gain.

Humanity is not divided into the distinct Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid classifications, but those divisions still underpin the thinking of many people. Archeology, Genetic Mapping and DNA have shown that all Mankind (to use the outmoded term) can be traced back to the Mitochondrial Eve of roughly 180,000 years ago. And even if you hold to the idea that man emerged and continued evolving several times from Africa as opposed to the currently more accepted theory that the modern strain of man came, almost exclusively, from the last emigration, all humanity are the same species, with minor, mostly superficial, differences. The Human Journey began in Africa, original home to us all.

But it is the doom of man that he must accentuate the differences between himself and his brothers.

In addition to the flawed thinking and perhaps superseding it, we also have the societal constraints on who you are and can be. People have the awful habit of projecting their notions of who you are based on what they see and we are slow too change our minds.

You are (or are supposed to be) what they say you are. You are black, you are white, you are asian, you are hispanic, and so forth. And being so you are also the preconceived notions they feel apply to a person of that persuasion. This leads to the chastising terms like Whigger, Uncle Tom, Oreo when someone steps outside of the viewers' prejudice and does not behave in the way they expect and want you to behave. Don't step outside of the box I have mentally assigned you.

So, I am not the "white cop" who yelled at you, wrote you the speeding ticket and busted you for smoking pot at 16. You don't know my mind and I know you don't care what I think anyway.

I will note a very annoying thing Obama did when he was an Illinois Senator was mandate the completion of "Stop Sheets" by Police Officers. To be completed after all traffic stops for a continuing study on racial profiling by Northwestern. It's not the addition paperwork, but the 5 categories the Officer gets to choose from concerning the race of the driver. The categories are: African/American, Caucasian, Hispanic, Native American/Alaskan and Asian/Pacific Islander. There's no category for Arab or Middle Eastern or Indian. It forces Officers to think in the outmoded method!

Well, now we have the black-ish Obama as President. And old, fat, puffy faced, flabby assed, bigoted toxic white men don't like this, so they project unto him the feelings they themselves possess. They want Obama to hold to the racist views. They want him to be a disciple of Jeremiah Wright because if Obama thinks like Wright then it affords them the cover to vent their racism at Obama.

And woe be anyone who deviates from their bigoted thinking, as Joan Walsh did, becomes the target of outright bigots R. Limbaugh (who labeled Walsh the "Magic Honky" for not hating black folk like Limbaugh) and the Free Speak (sic) police at racist FreeRepublic and Moonbattery who label Walsh and others; race traitors and self-hating whiteys.

Would you contest a speeding ticket from an Officer with chops this magnificent?

Update:
As far as the Obama Kenyan Birth certificate recently revealed by Orly Taitz. Let us apply both the "reasonable man" standard and some conspiracies.

Is it reasonable to believe a paper document has survived for 45 years in the nation of Kenya, often beset by military coups, droughts and famines, and the presence of the completely failed state of Somalia on it's northern border? Yet this document survived, in good condition and was conveniently discovered by Orly Tatiz? That's a reasonable belief?

But, speaking of which, it's interesting to note Taitz is a Soviet Communist, perhaps an unrepentant one at that, seeking to bring down America from within, using a "typical" communist ploy? And how did the Obama-ACORN-Islamo-Black Panther Brownshirts fail to destroy so damning a document? The Right likes to ascribe to the Obambots vast powers of intimidation, computer hacking and conspiracy but the Obama Thugs just happened to miss the one sure fire document which would interfere with all their work subverting and socializing America?

Update:
More Obama Conpriacy the "Kenyan" Birth certificate is from Australia. Australia, Australia, Australia We Love Ya!

Stalag XVII-B, Revisited

"You just kicked the shit out of an innocent man."
"Innocent? Innocent of what?" ~ Gene Hackman explains his style of policing from the film Unforgiven.

Remember the film Stalag 17? One of the techniques the Nazis use is Sleep Deprivation. Watch the scene. In it Von Scherbach also declares Lieutenant Dunbar is not a prisoner of war. Strange how much Ari "Sleep Deprivation, I have no Problem with" Flesciher resembles Von Scherbach and not Otto Preminger.

The CIA was granted the authority to keep captured enemies shackled and awake for days. Detainees were clad only in diapers and not allowed to feed themselves. A prisoner who started to drift off to sleep would tilt over and be caught by his chains, according to the report.

What anti-american terrorist loving fucks those movie producers were in the Fifties. Of course, I don't know what to do with prisoners of war. But do we really need to further dehumanize them?

My strongest ire is held for those who craft such policies and then sit back at a distance never having to dirty their hands. Those who chickened out when they were younger, those who deferred their military service, yet in latter days became Hawkmen. The men and women who have to carry out the orders and are tasked with sifting through the excrement and filth are the ones who become most damaged. For they are the ones we torture too. We allow their humanity to be stripped as they work to deprive another of theirs.

This is a supreme tragedy of war.

Sowing the Seeds of Hate

Update:
Well, since standard red-baiting Obama is a Socialist isn't working why not just claim - Obama is League with Lucifer! Could Lucifer play a role in this presidential election? So asks James PINKerton.


You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. ~ The Emperor

Vote for McCain or get the Fuck out of My Country, you fake american, socialist, communist, anti-american, god-hating muslim!

The face is revealed. The spittle-flying vitriol has spouted fancy buds. No longer do we have fringe chemically imbalanced persons like Ann Coulter She Who Shall Not Be Named calling the other party Traitors, it's permeated and become the mantra of an entire political party.

It started with Sarah Palin and her gosh-golly darn-it, I'm so folksy and hot and Obama's-a-terrorist speeches and extended when both she and McCain equated Obama with socialism. I'd love to hear Sarah Hot Piece define Socialism it would probably be as understandable as her definition of what the United States Vice President does.

Of course, the most egregious example is Michelle Bachmann's call for an investigation of anti-american's in Congress. But if you listen to her closely not only does she believe Obama is anti-american, to Bachmann anti-americans can be found many places; "some of these people have positions teaching in institutions of higher learning, but, you'll find them in all walks of life all throughout america."

Uh-huh. Bachmann has no idea what she is talking about. Watching her vapid stare, listening to the pauses, the set patterns of speech, the stilted way she responded to questions which differed from her set talking points it appeared Bachmann had been given the RNC text of; equate Liberal with anti-american at every opportunity. She's a tool or a fool.

Absolutely, I have concerns Barack Obama has anti-american views. ~ Michelle Bachmann

Good. Use your aggressive feelings. Let the hate flow through you. ~ The Emperor

But, it didn't stop with Bachmann, who actually has continued her Obama is anti-american talking points. McCain advisor Nancy Pfoentauer divided Virginia (again) into real and unreal parts and the Real part supports McCain.

Robin Hayes stated unequivocally "Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in god", then lied, then claimed it's the fault of liberal bloggers. Dang those liberals! Not only do they hate real americans then they lie about it and slander a real american like Sarah Hot Piece and Robin Hayes!

And as a minister in an Iowa McCain rally pointed out, everyone knows the false faiths of the world yearn for an Obama victory.

Of course, claiming one's side has the Mandate from Heaven is not new in politics it's one of the oldest arguments for claiming power.

And the mobs which have been taken in and read the "works" of Coulter she who shall not be named, Michael Savage Weiner Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, Sean Hannity, these comments help whip them into a hate-filled frenzy. Socialist! Communist! Terrorist! Anti-American!

I'm sure if Bachmann was given her script and told to include the following words, she would find them and the men who penned them and stood in armed conflict against their government to be anti-american:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

I'm sure she would declare this to be against the right of center values which in her mind alone real americans hold dear.

And a note on Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground. The Weathermen twice destroyed a hypocritical statue of a police officer which stood in Haymarket Square, taking this action alone how is it different than when the American Founding Fathers and Patriots destroyed a statue of King George III, which stood at the foot of Broadway on the Bowling Green in New York to make bullets?

The Echo Effect

The best thing about the internet is it allows the user to read and re-read the same stories which conform to their already held beliefs without the hassle of being bothered by dissenting opinion.

This rabid election cycle has placed the Echo Effect front and center.

One of the latest revelations centers around ACORN.

I never heard of ACORN but after Michelle Malkin posted a story on her site, The Echo Effect began; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

The First problem is an accusation is not a conviction. An investigation is not a conviction. Quite frankly, even arrests aren’t convictions. But, the accusation is enough. ACORN 2008 will join the Florida Voter Purges in 2000 and the I’ll Deliver Ohio in 2004 as another in the long line of stolen elections. The problem is each side (as though there are only ever two) treats the accusation as proof of the evil of the other side, while ignoring any impropriety on their side. It's part of the Noble Lie Theory. It's okay to lie if your guy (who is good and just) defeats their guy (who is evil and sinful).

Obama is going to win the presidency, but I don’t even know why Obama woud want to be president. You can be assured during his entire administration that side will engage in non-stop BBC (Blame Barack Campaign) closely aligned with ABC (Always Blame Clinton).

I think these breathless ACORN revelations will stand alongside the claims Obama is a secret muslim, doesn’t have US citizenship, is in cahoots with terrorists, is a raging black militant, wants to raise your taxes and will "surrender" in Iraq as a building block to support the 4 years of constant attacks which will be leveled against Obama. I'm willing to bet Sean Hannity will spend a segment of every show form 2009-2013 placing blame on Obama.

Obama is going to be set up as the reason anything and everything bad happens to the "country". Of course, the possibilty exists Obama’s Cabinet will sponsor ideas, laws and policies which do not help Americans. It's posssible but at this point the evidence doesn't exist he'll intentionally push a policy designed to harm the American people. There is a difference between policies which do not work out as planned and have bad consequences and policies which are intentionally set up and have bad consequences.

There is no doubt Bush’s policies were intentionally set up and that is a fundemental difference between any bad effects which follow. The Bush Administration had intent behind their schemes.

Iraq is far from won. Afghanistan has been allowed to fester. The economy isn’t going to get better for the lowly Plebians. Enter the Fall Guy.



Unhinged Anger

A Real Maverick & Raging Nationalism

For Starters, the Flag is a piece of cloth, most likely, nylon and nowadays often printed in China. The National Anthem is just words. The Anthem won't clothe, feed, pay your mortgage, cover your health costs or comfort you if your loved one is killed fighting in Iraq to "protect" America. When the symbol takes on more power than what it was supposed to represent, than it's time to ditch the symbol because we've become Idolators.

Josh Howard got in trouble when during the national anthem he stated, "“The Star Spangled Banner’s going on right now, and I don’t celebrate that shit. I’m black. Obama. Obama '08.”

This caused immediate "controversy" as fervent nationalists immediately began to pillory Howard. However, after reading some of the comments made about and to Howard as posted on the blog of Mark Cuban, my choice of words is to kind and too intelligent for the bigoted racist trash that spewed forth from unthinking buffoons, who also used this as an excuse to castigate Obama, including the mega-patriots at FreeRepublic.

It's easy to wrap oneself in the flag. The flag provides armor. One need not examine any positions, question whether or not a policy undertaken by the Federal Government could have repercussions for the American people. It's an unthinking persons line of attack and defense.

As a juxtaposition, listen to the comments of Michelle Bachmann (at 4:29 in the video) as she whips the crowd into a zealot-like frenzy with her appeal to God and Country. As if she knew anything about either.



This is the same Bachmann who claimed, "God called upon me to Run for the United States Congress." Any politician who invokes the almighty as a supporter of them and who claims the Divine Right of Leadership as god's choice has immediately abrogated the right to be in a position of authority.

Those who use this rhetoric and fall back onto God and the Flag do so to cover their evil motives which do not benefit you. The politician who speaks of God’s Will is really speaking about Their Will. And in order for Their Will to be done they need your tacit or active approval. Their actions are done in order to enrich them, their families and their cronies and when the evil of their actions rebounds upon the nation and innocent Americans they use the whirlwind they created to further ensconce themselves in power and further delude and shackle the people they Lord over.

Scott McClellan

Boy, Old Scotty sure hit a nerve. And of course, the attacks on Scott McClellan must now begin. How dare he be so disloyal as to state "the Iraq War was not necessary" and Busch relied on "propaganda" to sell the war. As everyone knows absolute loyalty is all president Cult of Personality Busch requires.

Karl Rove proclaims McClellan sounds like a "left wing blogger".

And the Heroes at Free Republic consider it their duty to kill McClellan for his traitorous deeds!

Dana Perino, who claimed the job in the hopes her speeches would not be analyzed because the male reporters would not have enough blood in their brains to comprehend her ignorant innanities stated, "Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House. We are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew."

Lost in their vitriol is the truth Busch is a liar who used propaganda and was aided in his efforts by the Media to lead the nation into a disastrous war in Iraq for control of the region and for the transfer of American wealth into the hands of the those who profit off of death and destruction.

Cindy McCain is Better than You.

Quit fucking questioning your betters!

If Cindy wishes to invest in Sudan, so be it! If she deems she will sell those Sudanese investments for more money than you shall ever earn in your working lifetime. That is her right, per her position as a better than you!

If Cindy wishes to keep her tax returns out of the public light so poor ignorant Americans vote for McCain thinking his interests are in line with theirs. Well... that's not exactly lying. After all, as the Right points out it's completely a Privacy issue. And Right Wingers would never mount a partisan attack on the spouse of a political enemy!

"Let the masses Drink Beer", they need not worry themselves with the finances of their rulers, err... representatives.

At least we can rest easy knowing the equivocating Patriots at Free Republic will defend Cindy McCain's millions and war profiteering investments, while lambasting Teresa Heinz-Kerry at the same time. Pure Genius!

How long before Mary Tillman is smeared ala Cindy Sheehan?

Mary Tillman has published a book examining the hell she has gone through since the death of her son Pat Tillman. I have not read the book, but I have followed the unfolding story over the last 4 years. Mary Tillman has recently done several interviews (here, here and here) speaking out aganist the Bush Regime and the cover-up surrounding her son's death.

I'm waiting for the Coulter screed labeling Mary and "kook" or "tool" of the Democrats. Coulter extolled Pat Tillman as "an American original-virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be." Which is why she had to state "I don't believe it" when it was learned Tillman was anti-war and was going to talk with someone like Noam Chomsky, which the Warmongers at FreeRepublic couldn't understand either.

Pat Tillman's enlistment and death were used by the Bush regime. Simple fact. But, why?

Blog posts especially at the loathsome FreeRepublic were upset that the truth should come out. You see to many Freepers every soldier killed has died a hero for American "National Interests". And the circumstances surrounding their deaths should never, ever be revealed for such revelations might lead to questions and questions lead to doubts and doubts lead to discontent with the Rulers.

There has never been a more pernicious lie than "National Interests".

It takes an intestinal fortitude to look deeper and realize what Tillman and others may have died for are the interests of a handful of people whose Interests don't extend much past their own offshore bank accounts.

But, we aren't supposed to know or worry about that. We are supposed to Support the Troops by Supporting the Mission. And the mission in Iraq is...

John Edwards, maybe, but I doubt it

Well, Mr. Edwards says if he's elected all troops will be out of Iraq within 9-10 months, save a contingent at the Disneylandesque US Mega-Embassy.

I applaud Mr. Edwards for the courage, in the current American political world, of admitting he made an error with his 2002 vote for war. As I've have stated earlier, it is difficult to admit an error and with political opponents ready to pounce on any actual or apparent change as flip-flopping, changing one's position becomes nigh impossible.

But, before I get all weak in the knees over Johnny I need to more closely examine the way Mr. Edwards made his money on malpractice cases. I hope it wasn't in destroying individual doctors from the perch of perfect, years gone by, hindsight. I also need to peruse Mr. Edwards other campaign statements.

As for future foreign policy, with this kind of money being allocated will you be able to resist the demands of the Warmongering profiteers?

Free Republic Update:
It's also sober to read what the Freepers have to offer up on John Edwards plan. Of course these people claim to support the troops, by wanting them to stay in Iraq forever. In reality Freepers use the troops as a club to attack political enemies...

Waterboarding: An American Tradition since 1901!

The US used waterboarding in the Phillipines back in 1901. Of course back in 1903, they called it the "Water Cure":

The commonest form of torture was known as the "water cure," and it was so common that, on Bohol, toward the end of the war, people joked about getting it -- and then got it. It became, as its nickname suggests, a kind of liquid panacea, a cure for whatever you couldn't kill -- a cure for disloyalty, a cure for native "insolence," a cure for the insurrection -- that the army doled out like the shots for the small pox it also dispensed. Ostensibly, the "water cure" was used to elicit information. But the information it obtained was always suspect. And people died from it.

Testifying before Congress in 1903, Lt. Grover Flint gave a sanitized but still vivid account of the way that it worked:

A man is thrown down on his back and three or four men sit or stand on his arms and legs and hold him down; ...a carbine barrel or a stick as big as a belaying pin... is simply thrust into his jaws and his jaws are thrust back, and, if possible, a wooden log or stone is put under his head or neck, so he can be held more firmly. In the case of very old men I have seen their teeth fall out, -- and I mean when it was done a little roughly. He is simply held down and then water is poured onto his face down his throat and nose from a jar; and that is kept up until the man gives some sign or becomes unconscious. And then... he is simply... rolled aside rudely, so that water is expelled. A man suffers tremendously, there is no doubt about it. [S. Doc. 331, 57 Cong., 1 Sess. (1903), pp. 1767-1768]

Waterboarding is torture.

And it's frightening to read "Americans" (in reality FREEpers) support the practice. Or US Senator Kit Bond equate torture by drowning with swimming.

Hey Kit, would you have been happy if your son Sam had, "learned" to swim this way at Quantico? Or would it be okay if insurgents in Iraq used waterboarding on your son in Iraq? Because I don't think so, but I guess you would be fine with the insurgent freestyle...

Update:

Sam Stein at The Huffington Post exposes 30 Anti-American cowards against waterboarding. Strangely they all have General or Admiral before their name...
