Chicken Hawk Donald Trump likens his New York school days to Vietnam

The New York Times, a bastion of Trump Love, is running a story on Donald Trump upcoming Biography (to be released on September 22nd). First off, I knew Trump's run was, most likely, some scheme to fleece the conservative rubes once more, which is why I haven't really written anything on him. But, the piece might be the missing scale in TRUMP/SMAUG's impenetrable hide.

The funny thing is somewhere along the way, the conservative rubes have become tired of the rhetoric and no-action from the Republican Party. You can only claim Obama/Hitler is fundamentally destroying America so many times before your devotees begin to wonder why you aren't doing something about it.

So, it's no wonder that the establishment Plutocracy choices for President ("Jeb" Bush or Scott Walker) are not polling well. The rabid conservative base wants a President who is going to stomp on gay people, deport the Mexicans, eliminate the social safety net for blacks, and reconstruct the White Power Nation they so fervently desire.

Trump has been saying out loud and loudly what white power conservatives want to hear. Every attack on Trump strengthened him, every mention of his name even in the most negative of connotations or tone propelled his Make America Great brand stronger.

Until, perhaps, now. I saw a Tweet by 2016 Illinois Senate Winner Tammy Duckworth, thanking Trump for his "service" and found the New York Times story.

From 1959 to 1964, Donald Trump attended New York Military Academy, after graduating in 1964 Trump ensured he received several deferments, including ones for "heel spurs" on both feet, before receiving a high final draft number.

Trump, never content, has likened his time in School to actually being in the military. Here's what Trump has to say about his avoidance of the draft and Vietnam,
"My number was so incredible, and it was a very high draft number. Anyway, so I never had to do that, but I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people..." 
And it doesn't matter to Trump because like everything he does he does it better, as he had "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military."
Now, I don't think this will hurt Trump with his Right-Wing White Power Fan Base. Conservatives gleefully voted for Chicken Hawk 5 Deferment Dick Cheney and W(orst POTUS in History) both times.

White Power Right-Wingers bounded into the voting booth to elect Mitt Romney, who likened his time in France to being exactly the same as being in French-Indochina, and whose 5 Sons all eschewed Military Service during, what conservatives call, the Greatest War Since Ronnie Raygun defeated the Soviet Union.

The Republican Party is replete with Chicken Hawk Warmongers. Trump fits right in and Conservatives will gladly vote for him and shout "White Power!"

According to the New York Post and Conservative Chicken Hawks, Marine Corps Legend Dan Daly is too "Girly"

Famous Marine Dan Daly twice won the Medal of Honor. Of the photos we have of Daly he is wearing a cover (that's the USMC name for hat for all the right-wing chicken hawks who never had the courage to serve) very similar to the one recently announced as a possible uniform change for female marines.

The New York Post, which declared JP Morgan Chase was being robbed at gunpoint by Uncle Sam when JP Morgan Chase was recently fined $13 billion for the bank's role in the Republican Grand Recession, has now declared Obama wants Marines to wear 'girly' hats.

The article continues with its' homophobia (girly= effeminate homosexual in right-wing parlance) and baseless bashing of President Barack Obama while also throwing in some good derision at the French; claiming the new version is so “girly” that they would make the French blush.

Should I point out that the 5th and 6th Regiment of the USMC currently wear French decorations with their Dress uniforms? Or would that be too girly since I used the word "Dress"?

The most important thing in America is that Right-Wing chairborne commandos, conservative chicken hawks, and anti-american Faux News drones be allowed to offer up their opinion about the Marines in specific, the President and the Nation in general, seeing as they never had the stones to actually enlist and put their asses on the line?

No matter the topic the always wrong, often insulting, and sometimes despicably evil conservative view must be heard otherwise you're being a biased liberal!

How many of these homefront Blame Barack Warriors know that Marines have more than one cover?

Personally, I never wore the "Barracks Cover" save for two occasions. Boot camp graduation on the parade ground and the Marine Corps Ball. Every other time when I was in "chucks" or the Service A I wore the garrison cap.

But, hey just like with umbrella-gate and every other poutrage faux scandal the Right has attempted to pin on President Obama, those screaming the loudest have no real knowledge of what they are talking about, no first-hand experience about what they are offended by, and are just making shit up.

Because the Marine Corps has released this official statement:
Recent headlines in the media have created confusion regarding a Marine Corps uniform item, the male dress cover. Some in the media have implied that the President of the United States directed a change in this dress cover.

Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos said, “the President in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover.”
But, never let the truth get in the way of a good Right-Wing lie.

God Bless Our Guns! Each and Every One! - Zardoz LaPierre speaks

Look Daddy! Teacher says every time a Gun is fired a Gun Manufacturer gets it's wings!
That's right, that's right. Attaboy, Sig Sauer CEO Ron Cohen!

Here is an excerpt form Zardoz LaPierre's pronouncement of 12/21/12:




The NRA is headed by CEO Zardoz LaPierre and President David Keene...
Here's some neat facts about those two. LaPierre spent the late 60's and early 70's going to college. As soon as he got his Master's he went to work as a DC Lobbyist. David Keene started work in Washington DC in the late 1960's working for noted Republican criminal Spirio Agnew. 
So, the Leaders of the NRA are Typical Conservatives. They never had a real job. Never worked for a living. Never served a Day in Uniform. Chicken Hawk Cowards who skirted Vietnam to spend 40 years as lobbyists in Washington DC. Just your Average American Conservative.

Anyway LaPierre and Keene's job at the NRA is to push Guns. Contrary to how the NRA presents itself, the true job of LaPierre is not to support the Rights of Gun Owners, but to support the right of Gun Manufacturers to flood American Society with as many weapons of Mass Murder as possible. And with that goal in mind there is no level they will not stoop.

The Deaths of 20 children in Newtown, CT is a prime marketing opportunity for Zardoz LaPierre. The NRA wants your children to be murdered. Zardoz LaPierre wants your children to die shot multiple times at close range. Because children's deaths increase the sales of Guns.

Zardoz LaPierre is a Publicist for the Merchants of Death. He views Adam Lanza as a Second Amendment Hero because of all the Free Press it earns him.

His plan doesn't even deserve to be deconstructed because it is not a serious proposal but a shameless and despicable attempt to enrich his Owners, the Firearm Manufacturers. After a week of 'No Comment', LaPierre's bold strategy was to call on Government to hand over Billions in Tax Payer Dollars to the Gun Makers.

Now, this is of course, Brilliant and par for the course for Right-Wing Terrorists. After years of slashing funding for schools, for mental health, for teachers, the NRA wants Federal Dollars to flow into the coffers of the Merchants of Death.

Zardoz LaPierre wants to inculcate in the children of America absolute fear. And religious devotion to the Gun.

Meanwhile, the NRA's bodycount and unrestricted Gun Violence continues to shatter American Society:
This is what the NRA and Firearm Manufacturers want. These are the Second Amendment Heroes to Glock, Sig Sauer, Bushmaster, Smith & Wesson. They want Unrestricted Gun Violence destroying as many lives as possible because it makes them Money.

Tagg Romney has No Balls

And while Mitt has 5 sons his balls are tiny and they were kicked in by President Obama on Tuesday at the Second Debate.

As Tagg Romney watched President Obama overcome Mitt Romney and point out that Mitt is a spolied, elitist, bullying, despicable liar, who will say anything to steal this election, Tagg shared an amusing story,
"You know, I, ah, wanted to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him. But you know you can’t do that because, well, first there’s a lot of secret service agents between you and him…”
Ho ho ho. Tough Guy tells reporter afterwards! 

It's like watching the guy at the bar tell his friends to hold him back. He isn't going to fight but he sure wants to appear tough and strong! Tagg is a chicken hawk coward. Just like his father before him and just like his younger brothers,
  • Mitt 0, protested in favor of the War in Vietnam and the Draft 
  • Tagg 0 
  • Matt 0
  • Josh 0 
  • Ben 0 
  • Craig 0
The 5 Romney "men" were born between 1970 and 1981. When their father is added in they have a combined total of Zero Days of Military Service. When asked in 2008 why his sons weren't serving in the military, Mitt stated his dandified sons were to important,
"One of the ways my sons are showing support for this nation is by trying to get me elected. Because they think I'll make a great President."
But, Tagg's bullshit, I'm going to "take a swing at" President Obama is designed to rouse the Republican base (i.e. Racists) who all want to put Obama in his place. Just like Matt Romney declaring his father would release his tax returns,
“[A]s soon as President Obama releases his grades and birth certificate and sort of a long list of things then maybe he’d do it.”

As a way to defelct from the uncomfortable fact that Mitt Romney has undercut America for decades  and made hundreds of millions of dollars which Mitt has hidden in off-shore accounts around the world.

Update:
Tagg, besides being a ball less chicken hawk coward, also learned the fine Art of the Ponzi Scheme from his Swindler Father.

Lee Fang of The Nation reports,
Last year, I reported that Tagg had formed a business partnership with several North Carolina investors who are still facing a lawsuit for receiving bonus pay for selling CDs as part of the $8 billion Stanford Financial Group Ponzi scheme.In a nutshell, Tagg helped these investors form a company—called Solamere Advisors, a nod to Tagg’s firm Solamere Capital—shortly after their boss, Allen Stanford, was caught by law enforcement for his elaborate Ponzi fraud.When I interviewed him in Las Vegas, Tagg told me that his associates were “cleared” of any wrongdoing associated with the Stanford Ponzi scheme. Court documents directly contradict Tagg and show that the lawsuit has not been dismissed.

Chicken Hawk Coward Mitt Romney doesn't think The Troops are important

"When you give a speech, you talk about things you think are important... I didn’t use the word troops, I used the word military, and I think [giggles] they refer to the same thing.”
Career Candidate Mitt Romney.
The Military-Industrial-Complex are People, my friend. Now, what do you expect from a cowardly twerp like Mitt Romney?

"One of the ways my sons are showing support for the nation is helping me get elected. Because they think I'd make a great President." - Mitt Romney (in 2008) on why his 5 sons are too valuable to risk serving in the "Military".

It's no surprise Mitt Romney sees the Troops as nothing more than the "Military". Individuals mean nothing to a Chicken Hawk Vulture Capitalist like Romney. To Republicans Individual Troops are Cogs. We are nothing more than little wooden tokens in their Great Con Game.

If 1 or 100 or 5000 need to be sacrificed to serve the Republican goals of turning America into a Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave then so be it.

Look at the Candidate Paul Ryan. Ryan never served. Ryan never had a real job in his life. Like all Modern Republicans he immediately went to work on the Staff of some older Republican Bureaucrat before running (a super fast marathon) and becoming a career Bureaucrat himself.

Republicans no longer serve in the military. As I wrote about the 2010 CPAC convention, [See my Post: CPAC = Chicken Hawks United and Domestic Terrorist Sympathizers ]
The funniest thing about watching CPAC is the cavalcade of speakers all have the same look. Soft, Pasty and doughy. It's as if the Pillsbury Dough Boy has been adopted as the symbol for CPAC.

Of course, "Dough Boy" is a misnomer for this group. Of the speakers nary a one had the chops to do military service. Yet, all of them Beat their chests and pound the lectern We must defend America! We of course, means someone else.
So, if Republicans are able to steal this election and enshrine the Chicken Hawks Romney and Ryan into the White House don't be surprised when the drumbeats of War begin to sound. After all it won't be Romney's 5 sons in Iran or any of the Janesville, Wisconsin Ryan clan combing the Syrian Desert looking for the Bush Phantom WMDs. Republicans just start the Wars they don't fight in them.

But, what will happen is Military spending will increase as the Chicken Hawk Warmongers on the Right call for more Austerity. And the defecit which Republicans caused will balloon again but just as with Bush and Obama, the Republicans will hide it and blame the Man who comes in afterwards for not cleaning up their mess.

New Black Panther Party Member Jonah Goldberg will beat you up to keep you from voting

The current water-carrying, torch-bearing, scholar of the Right is Jonah Goldberg. It's only in Modern America where a dilettante can be paid millions to write books claiming Liberals are meanies and "properly understood" Nazis, get invited repeatedly onto various "liberal" television news programs and makes sweeping pronouncements about things of which he has no experience.

Well, Jonah decided to educate his right-wing followers about young people,
“I don’t think youth politics is something very special or enviable. Personally, I think the voting age should be much higher not lower. I think it was a mistake to lower it to 18, to be brutally honest.”

"It is a simple fact of science that nothing correlates more with ignorance and stupidity more than youth. So we should really explain to them why they’re “so frickin’ stupid about some things. We’re all born idiots, and we only get over that condition as we get less young.

"The fact that young people think socialism is better than capitalism. That’s proof of what social scientists call their stupidity and their ignorance. And that’s something that conservatives have to beat out of them. Either literally or figuratively as far as I’m concerned."
Ah yes! Social Science which is as squishy as the giant band of fat encircling Jonah's brain and midsection.

However, I sure hope Faux News runs with the Conservatives have to beat young people literally to get them to vote Republican story as much as the New Black Panther Party video! You know who else wanted to restrict voting rights? Adolf Hitler and the Nazis! But, somehow video of blubbering, man-boobed, fleshy-faced Jonah threatening to have conservatives beat young people into voting "Right" isn't that scary...

Moreover, this is basically a warmed-over version of the If you're not a liberal at 20 you have no heart and if you're not a conservative at 30 you have no brain quote falsely attributed to Winston Churchill. So, besides being a literary hack, a chicken hawk coward and a liar (Jonah and his publisher have been claiming he has "twice been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize" when he never had) Jonah's also a sloppy plagiarist.

Sadly, Jonah Goldberg embodies everything wrong with conservatives in one fat corpulent form. He inherited his position at the National Review Online from his mother. He's never done a real day's work. Of course, Jonah is also a rank coward and chicken hawk warmonger (when Republicans are in power) who fastidiously shirked military duty to remain at his keyboard "defending" America.

Besides what I've mentioned Jonah has no credentials or accomplishments and he is clearly doing the bidding of the Plutocracy yet despite his utter lack of anything positive he is treated as a Very Serious Person.

On the release of his second manifesto about mean liberals, Goldberg got into a tiff with Piers Morgan when Piers asked Jonah how much the military operation to Kill Bin Laden cost. Jonah rather than admitting he has no knowledge of anything military related and would rather talk about how mean President Obama is, got flustered, and highlighted his hog-shit ignorance [See My Post: Jonah Goldberg pouts because Piers Morgan is mean and conservatives are Hypocrites].

But, even after Jonah proved he and his work is nothing more than recycled hog shit, Jonah keeps on talking about the military.

On Memorial Day, Jonah spoke about how he studied the military. Now mind you Jonah doesn't actually know anything about the military and he wouldn't go onto a military base to talk to active service members or to a VFW to talk to Vets. No Jonah spent his Memorial Day at the same place he spent the Iraq War, a Keyboard,
“I spent part of my Memorial Day going over some of the demographics of veterans,” Goldberg said. “And it shouldn’t actually shock us that Romney is doing well. It seems to me that if you were a traditional military voter, you might have some serious problems with Obama. The way he sometimes talks about the military, he talks about the troops — it can often seem narcissistic, political, and rub people the wrong way."
Leaving aside Jonah's continued despicable comments about the President's character, something he knows even less about than the Military, Jonah, like his mother before him, is nothing more than a paid goon for Rich right-wingers to attack Liberals. Jonah Goldberg has "seen the elephant" and he won't stop stroking him.

Jonah Goldberg pouts because Piers Morgan is mean and conservatives are Hypocrites (Updated)

“The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he’s going to attack Pakistan…” George W. Bush
Update:
Jonah Goldberg is also a liar. Jonah and his publisher have been claiming he has "twice been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize." So my earlier conclusion that Jonah Goldberg is regurgitated hog-shit has been vindicated.
Chicken Hawk, fat slob Jonah Goldberg thought Piers Morgan would let him rant on and on and on about how bad, bad, bad Liberals are and how he doesn't criticize President Obama, except when Jonah slanders President Obama at every turn. For instance, here's the first sentence of Jonah's awesomely even-handed response to the SOTU,
President Obama's State of the Union address was disgusting.
But, a strange thing happened when Piers Morgan pointed out Republicans and Right-Wingers were underplaying the significance of the Kill Bin Laden Mission. Republicans are mulling and crying like petulant spoiled brats because President Obama rightly declared he would get Osama Bin Laden and Mitt Romney declared he didn't want to get Osama Bin Laden. [See My Post: Bin Laden's death means...]

Jonah Goldberg was flummoxed in the Interview. Jonah didn't have answers for any questions, blubbered that Piers "cross-examined him", was "carrying water for the Democrats", and "you pried it out of me"! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Jonah Goldberg is a famous conservative chicken hawk.
As for why my sorry a** isn't in the kill zone, lots of people think this is a searingly pertinent question. No answer I could give -- I'm 35 years old, my family couldn't afford the lost income, I have a baby daughter, my a** is, er, sorry, are a few -- ever seem to suffice.
So, Jonah showed his absolute hog-shit ignorance when asked about military missions when Piers Morgan asked him how much the Kill Bin Laden Mission cost.

Instead of admitting he has no idea because Jonah Goldberg never had any intention of going anywhere near the military, he pulled a number out of his expansive flabby chicken hawk ass.
Golberg: It was a pretty cheap operation.

Morgan: How much does it cost?

Goldberg: It didn't cost --

Morgan: What's your idea of cheap?

Goldberg: Are we really going to do this sort of high school debating tactic crap?

Morgan: Yes. I'm curious what you think of what cheap means.

Goldberg: I would put it at – I don't know, $50 million, $40 million...

Morgan: Wow. And that's cheap in the Republican world? No wonder the country got into the mess it did.
Right-Wing world exploded with indignation! Jonah retreated to his home turf at National Review Online to declare, 'I won! I won! Waaah! La la la la la Liberals! He proved my point! I'm the winner!'

The blubbering Jonah turned to Rich Lowry and said, 'Tell em Rich! I won! Right?!? Right?!? I demand you declare me the winner or Im gonna hold my breath!' Rich Lowry dutifully declared him the winner, "Jonah Goldberg 1, Piers Morgan 0". Newsbusters proclaimed, "Piers Morgan belittled Jonah Goldberg".

World Net Daily Writer David Limbaugh (yes Limpballs brother) wrote,
After being waterboarded into answering, Jonah ventured a guess of $50 million, after which Morgan spent the next several minutes sputtering indignantly about how a Republican such as Goldberg could think $50 million is pocket change.
If Jonah Goldberg can't handle Piers Morgan, a friend of Ruppie Murdoch, how is he going to defeat Al Qaeda?

But, it's telling that Jonah Goldberg is such a star in Right-Wing world. On 12/12/2007, Goldberg infamously was the featured speaker for a lecture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, entitled All I am Saying is Give War a Chance. It's stated goal being:
Join the UMass Republican Club for yet another lively and edifying political discussion on the costs, necessities, consequences, and benefits of war. A question and answer session will be administered after the initial lecture.
Jonah is just another dog-shit stupid conservative dilettante who inherited his position as a "professional commentator" from his mommy. These pundit aristocrats are hired by Right-Wing Think Tanks to produce reams and reams of god-awfully shameful lies which the conservative base stoops lower and lower to lap up. [See my post: Good Conservative! Let the Racism Flow Freely! Brent Bozell is a Bigot]

Base Hypocrite is too polite a term for Jonah Goldberg, bucket of regurgitated hog-shit is more appropriate.

Addendum:
All of this, of course, stems from the fact, Republicans used Terrorism to win elections in 2002 and 2004. In the Kerry/Bush election Republicans shouted Terror! Terror! 9/11! 9/11! 9/11! and directly stated a vote for John Kerry was a vote for Terrorists. Republicans politicize Terror to win elections then and now. It's just now, Right-Wingers are pouting and stamping their feet how dare that Obama rightly point out Republicans didn't care whether or not Osama Bin Laden was killed/captured and President Obama did and got it done.

"It's not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person." - Mitt Romney. Like George W(orst President Ever) Bush Mitt Romney didn't care about killing/capturing Osama Bin Laden.

Domestic Terrorist, Chicken Hawk, Coward, Child Rapist Ted Nugent embodies Conservatism supports Mitt Romney

"I like Ted Nugent. He’s a friend of mine.” - Sean Hannity
Mitt Romney-supporting, Bow-Hunting, Tough-Talking Ted Nugent has been an staunch out-spoken representative of Conservatism for decades. And has been the go-to musical counterpoint for Faux News and Sean Hannity to combat Liberal Hollywood, "He's a rock star. Yes, here's my point. If you don't like it, don't go to the concert, don't buy his new albums." - Sean Hannity.

Nugent got into trouble by saying he wanted to ride into combat and behead Democrats and that after the 2012 Presidential election either he would be dead or in jail when President Obama wins re-election. Ted has been saying stupid, evil, terrorist shit for years, "Obama's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun," and Faux News continues to proudly sponsor him.

But, even though Ted Nugent talks tough when his time came for Real Combat Nugent quite literally shit himself to dodge military service. As Ted himself recounted in 1977,
"30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment."
Nowadays Ted, of course, denies this every happened, it doesn't fit with the bullshit image he wants to have about himself and claimed he only received student deferments for enrolling in Oakland Community College. Although, Ted did admit he "didn't want to get his ass blown off in Vietnam."

But, even worse than being a typical cowardly chicken hawk Right-Winger, Nugent bragged in 1998 about having sex with underage girls during his caveman heyday in the 1970's. Courtney Love stated she and Nugent had sex when she was 12 years old.

Ted Nugent epitomizes everything the Modern Conservative is today. But, all the overblown bravado and he-man talk covers a more insidious motive, one has been highlighted by my friend Ran on numerous occasions, Stochastic Terrorism. Nugent is coward but, his and other conservatives violent rhetoric masks an agenda of planting the seeds of terrorism in the minds of the duped and warped right-wingers, like Jared Loughner or "Progressive Hunter" Byron Williams, and triggering their violent conservative terrorist attacks.

The Secret Service is done with Ted Nugent but, Nugent isn't done instigating and fanning the flames of Right-Wing Extremism. Thus, I can think of no better end for Ted than when he suck-starts a pistol after we re-elect President Obama.

So what kind of Foul is Mitt Romney? Chicken Hawk or Vulture Capitalist?

Ha, trick question R-Money is both a cowardly Chicken Hawk warmonger and a despicable money stealing job-destroying Vulture Capitalist.

From a photo in 1966, 19 year old Mitt Romney protested an anti-war sit in, holding a sign declaring Speak Out Don't Sit-In. Hypocrisy and Cowardice are fundamental aspects of being a Republican these days. Romney was more than willing to champion the Draft and the War in Vietnam because he knew his dandified, moneyed, lilly-livered, pampered ass wasn't going anywhere near it.

I guess Mitt figured that when he filled out his Overseas Visa Application "France" was close enough to "French-Indochina".

Romney's pack of 5 sons obviously inherited their father's cowardice because nary a one served a single fucking day in the military [See My Post: The Romney Boys are the New Sullivan Brothers!]

Happy easter Lee Greenwood! There's NO god to Bless the U.S.A.

God Bless the U.S.A. was written by Lee Greenwood. It's his intellectual property. So it's fair he's mad that Stall Brook Elementary in Bellingham, Massachutes wanted to change the lyrics of the song to "We Love the U.S.A." for an April 12th assembly.

Greenwood made a statement, "Maybe the school should have asked the parents their thoughts before changing the lyrics to the song," Lee says. "They could have even asked the writer of the song, which I of course would have said you can't change the lyrics at all or any part of the song. The most important word in the whole piece of music is the word God, which is also in the title 'God Bless the USA.'

"We can't take God out of the song, we can't take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance, we can't take God off of the American currency," he continues. "Let us also remember, the phrase 'God Bless the USA' has a very important meaning for those in the military and their families, as well as new citizens coming to our country."

First off, beyond his jingoistic, schmaltzy, patronizing songs Lee Greenwood has no other intellectual property because he is riddled with a David Barton understanding of American History.

Barton, is famous for being the go-to-historian of conservatives when they want someone to make up a historical "fact" which coincides with a current position of the Right-Wingers. For instance, Barton proclaimed, "As far as the Founding Fathers were concerned, they’d already had the entire debate over creation and evolution, and you get Thomas Paine, who is the least religious Founding Father, saying you’ve got to teach Creation science in the classroom. Scientific method demands that!"

Yes! A full 70 years before the publication of On the Origin of Species and 40 years before Darwin sailed on the HMS Beagle, the Founders rejected evolution. Even the Lamarackian Evolutionary Theory wasn't published until 1809, the year Thomas Paine died and Charles Darwin was born. I could be charitable and say perhaps Barton wants to claim the Founders were knowledgable of the Taxonomical classifications of Carl Linnaeus, but, that's not what Barton means because David Barton is liar for christ.

As for Greenwood's statements about god and the currency and the Pledge, well, the blight of the Dominionist liars for christ strikes again.

Written in 1892, the original pledge is I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Hmmmm, looking for god in there... In fact, god wasn't added until 1954.

Paper Currency did not have In god We Trust, until 1957.

Greenwood is a classic Republican, he reimagines American history to fit his blinkered Right-Wing fantasies, he's been married 4 times, and while he talks tough and proud about the American military he dodged the service and Vietnam.

But, hey conservatism isn't concerned with truth but, with a continuously bizarre parade of performance art designed to rouse the limbic systems of the faithful.

Military Suicides and Deaths Please Republicans and Conservatives

They sound most pleasing to a conservative's ear is that of a veteran dying...

Newtradamus, Sick Rantorum and Faux News couldn't wait to report American service members had been killed in Afghanistan and immediately blamed President Obama following the revelation of the Quran burnings. The Republican Party is full of Vultures who at the sign or smell of death swoop in to pick at the carcass for political and financial gain. And if service members are put in harm's way because Rick Santorum wants to pretend to be a tough guy, "I think it shows weakness," on TV back in the States...

Prior to the Obama Presidency, conservatives rarely if ever mentioned that Marines, Soliders, Sailors and Airmen were dying daily in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why is that?

President Obama needs to end the Bush Afghanistan Debacle. Obama got Bin Laden, that should have ended the whole mission and lead to a quick pull-out. The longer he pushes the Bush Wars the more he assumes partial responsibility.

Republicans and conservatives believe their own chest puffing he-man I'm a Warrior Lies. Right-Wingers are, by and large, warmongers, cowards, and chicken hawks. More than willing to beat the drum for war but absent when it comes to stepping on the yellow footprints and signing on the dotted-line.

What conservatives really want are the accolades and honor associated with being a tough-guy soldier without the hassle of actual Duty.

Look at how Republicans and conservatives treat returning Veterans.

If Republicans really cared about Veterans and their post war struggles they would have made long-term care and Veteran assistance they #1 priority, instead Mitch McConnell stated his top priority was to make President Obama a one-term President.

If Republicans really cared about wounded veterans, they would have demanded the resignation of David S. Chu, the Pentagon's undersecretary for personnel and readiness, when he said in 2005 that Veterans benefits, "have gotten to the point where they are hurtful. They are taking away from the nation's ability to defend itself."

Sean Hannity wraps his entire persona as a hard-charging flag waving super American yet while wrapping himself in the flag he also wraps himself in stolen charitable contributions. Sean Hannity's Freedom Alliance Charity took in $10,800,000 dollars in 2006 and only $397,000 went to intended charitable recepients a little more than 3.5%.

As dutiful slaves and dogs of the 1%, Republicans are tasked with keeping money and benefits from the American people. As such, whenever a Veteran takes his life Republicans cheer and throw parties because it means more money for their Plutocratic Master's Off-shore accounts in Luxemborug, the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.

Republicans and conservatives use the Troops. They use soldiers and marines to fatten their bank accounts and when that service member is broken in body or spirit the Right-Wingers of this Nation do everything they can to shun them and push them to an early grave because Republicans always, always choose Profits over People.

The SS of the USMC

The "SS" logo flag in a photograph of the platoon 
taken in September 2010 in Helmand province.
United States Marine Corps Scout Snipers have used the distinctive Nazi SS Lightning Bolts as a Unit symbol. The Marines, in this photo, were members of Charlie Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, out of Camp Pendleton, California.

There is no way this is unintentional as the Marine Corps initial investigation claims,
“We don’t believe these Marine Corps snipers had a historical appreciation for what this symbol meant,” an unnamed USMC official said.
Marine Corps leadership also claims the Corps did not know until late last year,
The inspector general at I Marine Expeditionary Force at Pendleton was made aware of the “SS” flag photograph in November, said Capt. Gregory Wolf, a spokesman at Marine Corps headquarters.
Please recall Claire Danes in the Homeland episode The Weekend where she notices a tattoo on a seemingly normal looking guy in a backwater bar:
Danes:'88,' huh?
Neo-Nazi: Yeah, it’s my jersey number from high school.
Danes: Or code for HH. Eighth letter of the alphabet. 'Heil Hitler.'
Neo-Nazi: You’re not just a pretty face, are you?
Danes: You guys are White Nation, huh? That’s cool.
Neo-Nazi: It’s Aryan pride, baby.
It's a whistle. Gangs. White Supremacists. Christian Dominionists. They put these symbols out there because most of the world doesn't see them for what they are and when they do get caught there's plausiable deniability.

Service members are checked for tattoos and markings during their physicals. Every single member of that Battalion and every Marine Corps Scout Sniper (and DoD Service Member) should be checked for tattoos. Americans would be shocked at the number of Gang members and White Supremacists that are currently in the military.

This is what happens when the Military relaxes standards and looks obliquely past obvious warning signs to accommodate Chicken Hawk Republicans need for Glorious, Glorious War. Gang members, Militia members, White Supremacists, Christian Fascists, criminals have been inflitrating the military for the last decade in order to gain skills, training and inside knowledge of military workings to further their own goals in the US.

Gold Showers on the EGA

"A fate worse than a fate worse than death... Sounds pretty bad." ~ Blackadder IV
The images and video of US Marines urinating on the corpses of (Al Qaeda? Taliban? Unidentified Pashtun Tribesmen?) has elicited the standard reaction of outrage and condemnation from the SecDef, Commandant of Marine Corps, Secretary of State and put into motion a full NCIS investigation of the video and every possible Marine involved from Camp Lejeune. This incident is rapidly degenerating into the Torture "Debate", wherein the Right-Wingers defend something completely wrong because our "enemies" do bad things thereby making it okay. Mainly because conservatives have no compunction about being evil.

Personally, I never understood how it was fine to kill someone but, the follow on act of "desecrating" their bodies was then deemed the actual violation of the Rules of War. This is no doubt because I am not a gentleman.

Marines should know War is a gentleman's pursuit because every new recruit is taught Marine Corps Officers back in the 19th century wore a Barracks Cover with the Quatrefoil embossed on top. Officers were deemed not-legitimate targets for sniper fire and had to have a distinguishing mark on top of their cover to inform snipers of their non-targetable status.

Other ridiculous Rules of War have been tried over the centuries, the infamous Vatican decision in 1139 the crossbow was too deadly a weapon and could not be used, except on Muslims. All the way down to the the Geneva Conventions of the 20th Century.

The currently accepted Geneva Conventions (Right-Wingers orgasmic love of torture notwithstanding) are really a way Large Armies can fixate and maximize their advantage over small armies. Only a foolish military commander would follow rules of war which ensure his destruction. The moment Al Qaeda begins to mass large troop concentrations for a pitched battle is the moment they are obliterated. Such a concentration, training grounds, depot, armory, motor pool would be spotted and targeted with a massive amount of airpower.

Our enemies would be exceedingly stupid to follow the Rules of War.

This latest incident won't change much. Besides not getting the slap-in-the-face Good Conduct Medal, these Marines will be punished for their crimes, but what can never be brought up is that War itself is a Crime. Jingoistic War Profiteers and Chicken Hawks make too much money off of war. It doesn't matter that War breaks minds and bodies, plenty more were they came from, but don't make the War look bad.

Thus the Afghan War will continue for a few more years (or 4 more years if Mitt Romney steals into the White House) and new Wars will be hatched by the Establishment and the 99% will suffer all the costs, fiscal, physical and mental for the profit of the 1%.

Now you can be absolutely sure the action is wrong, criminal and evil because Representative Allen West (known for torturing innocent Iraqis and trying to intimidate Congresswomen) has declared, “As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.” Yes, Congressman West how about reading the Bill of Rights.

Mitt Romney's Pension and Tax Returns.

“[A]s soon as President Obama releases his grades and birth certificate and sort of a long list of things then maybe he’d do it,” Romney Son #3 demands to see President Obama's Birth Certificate.
Mitt Romney and Bain Capital made Hundreds of Millions of Dollars by dismantling American Companies and firing American Workers. Mitt is now 13 years removed from "working" at Bain Capital but still receives Millions in benefits from the firm.

Romney will not release his tax returns because it will show Romney's been receiving Millions of Dollars every year from Bain Capital as "deferred income and" paying around a 15% tax rate.

It's clear why Romney hoped for the bankruptcy and dissolution of General Motors. Romney hoped Bain Capital would be able to Vulture off some GM assets and increase his Pension. If there is one thing Romney has not flip-flopped on in his life it's that he consistenely chooses Profits Over People.

Romney is a member of the pampered, never done a day's worth of actual labor, Vulture Class which profits off of destroying America and picking at the remnants. And without a doubt he is going to be the Republican Nominee for President of the United States or more accurately Romney is the One Percent Candidate for President. (Re: W Spann LLC created expressly by a Bain Capital chum of Romney's to donate $1,000,000 to his Candidacy.

The 1% is now comprised of Sociopaths. They can not recognize the emotional states of other people, do not Nor do they care.

But, what they can do is rally their resources for when One Rich Man is Attacked the 1% treat it as an Attack on their Whole Plutocracy. As Billionaire Hedge Fund parasite Stephen Schwarzman told the Nation, “It's a War! It’s like when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939.” When the idea that Capital Gains should be taxed as normal income instead of at the 15% rate.

Members of the 1% recently created a Political Action Committee (PAC) titled the Job Creators Alliance. But, like all the evil things the 1% does, the Job Creatos Alliance is a deliberate misnomer. It isn't a PAC with the goal of how to to Create Jobs but on how to continue and increase the obscene and murderous transfer of wealth up to the coffers of a small cadre of Psychopaths.

The 1% aren't making anything, let alone "Creating Jobs". They profit by crooked bookkeeping, legerdemain, mathematical number games, shifting billions of electronic digits from one account into another and then proclaim themselves hard-working capitalists. They are gamblers, thieves, poltroons and Vultures.

But, Mitt's still playing the I'm a regular guy like all of Us. When he shows up in his blue jeans and a fancy dress shirt, sleeves artfully rolled up, tie conspicuously absent.

But, what "Unemployed" Regular Guy Mitt will never tell you is that he is a Plutocratic Vulture scrapping his profit from the carcasses of dead Americans whom he helped kill and the Opportunities to which Romney refers to,
In less than a year, the American people will go to the polls and choose a new president. A matter of great moment is at stake in this election. The question we will decide is this: Will the United States be an Entitlement Society or an Opportunity Society?
Are the Opportunities for the 1% to continue raping the Country, Oppressing Millions and Killing those who interfer in their Pursuit of Profit.

Brother, Can You Spare $10,000?

A Backup Yacht in Every Mansion A Proposed Campaign Slogan for Mitt Romney, created by Jerry Critter.
Lost among Mitt Romney's I'll bet you $10,000 dollars flub is the question; why is Romney even trying to run as a man-of-the-people? It makes no sense. Everyone knows he's a 1%er, is -- ahem, "worth" Hundreds of Millions of dollars, with multiple palatial mansions and is the son of wealthy politician. No one believes his "I'm unemployed, too" or "middle class people, like us" shtick. And besides Romney hasn't even been able to maintain his guise as a "Regular Joe". Half the time he's campaigning Romney touts his 'Job Creator' Class status.

You know Romney's business chops he likes to tout as qualifications for the White House? His work at Bain Capital, a private equity firm, Romney made millions on buying American companies and then selling off the assets, closing manufacturing plants and eliminating American Jobs. Take the Bain Capital acquisition of American Pad and Paper.
In all, Bain and its investors reaped more than $100 million even though Ampad went into bankruptcy, hundreds of workers lost jobs, and stockholders were left with worthless shares.
More recently, in Romney's magnificent Op-Ed Let Detroit Go Bankrupt, he wistfully longed for Americans to lose their jobs, blamed the UAW for the crisis and demanded Americans die quickly once they're done working to keep costs down:
First, their huge disadvantage in costs relative to foreign brands must be eliminated. That means new labor agreements to align pay and benefits to match those of workers at competitors like BMW, Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Furthermore, retiree benefits must be reduced.
Maybe because Mitt Romney has never known a day in his life when he didn't have access to money he's able to make these myopic and callous statements. Although Mitt does like to relate the hardships he endured in the late 1960's overseas. Oh no, I apologize for the confusion Romney never served in Vietnam! No, Mitt suffered and did without while on a 30 month mission in France.

Perhaps, in Romney's defense, when he was filling out his missionary card someone mistook his entry of "French-Indochina" for "France"?

So, how was Mitt Romney was living while busily avoiding Vietnam? The British paper Telegraph is reporting that in 1968 when Mitt was in France he lived in a staffed Mansion. Mitt no doubt commiserated with the Spanish chef and "houseboy" over his morning cheese, jam and croissant about missing coffee just like those Americans on patrol in rice paddies.

Mitt then spent the rest of his time trying to convince the French to give up Wine.

The 1% orders their Tea Party Attack Dogs to Destroy Occupy Wall Street

Conservatives in this nation are a joke. They are the servants of the Rich, and in light of the growing strength of the 99%, they are receiving their orders to attack, attack, attack.

And that means War! But, Class Warfare is the only kind of Warfare that Republicans, Conservatives and Teabagger Chicken Hawks know...

Which makes it fitting, Never served a day, Father of Five For Not Fighting* Quarter-Billionaire Mitt Romney would chime in on how his senses are offended at the sight of the protest, "I think it's dangerous, this Class Warfare..."

The Corporate Criminals and Wall Street Thieves are worried that the Occupy America protests are going to resonate with the people and the anger they had hoped to channel, via the Billionaire founded and funded Tea Party, towards more election victories, especially the unseating of President Obama, will be usurped and translate into the enforcement of regulations which affect their bottom line.

This protest isn't about President Obama. It's about the Thieves and their Guardians who've distorted the American Dream, have rigged the elections, have stolen Trillions, and have waged a Non-Stop War on the Middle and Working Class They thought they had done enough to silence Us for good, but We are the 99%! And WE WILL NOT BE SILENT ANYMORE!

The Republican Party was certain they would be able to merely declare Obama will Beeeee Ahhhh Ooooooonnnnnneee Terrrrrmmm President the votes would flow in and the new GOP President would be the lead sled dog for their Rich Masters. This is illustrated by Herman Cain's reaction to the protests, "I don’t have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks."

And the Republican Party are shills for the Rich, but, We are the 99%. Plutocratic Country Club Connoisseur Paul Broun declares the Occupy Wall Street Revolution are an "attack upon freedom, and I think that’s what this all about..." Holding Goldman Sachs and Wall Street accountable for the biggest criminal exhortation and reckless gambling ring in history, which is still on-going is Anti-Freedom!

Don't blame the Wall Street Thieves! If you are against Disaster Capitalism; If you are against the theft of Social Security by the same Theives who've plunged us into this Republican Recession You are to blame!

This is about Money. The 1% wants more! The 1% doesn't care if you die, guts spilled out in a far away desert,
"My position is that it’s regrettable that any Americans died. It is regrettable that they had to die, but I believe they did have to die." - Chicken Hawk Frank Gaffney, who now routinely writes pieces for Andrew Breitbart website of lies and fabrications.
Already the Faux News persons are hammering away from the comfort of their studios about the evil anti-America, anti-Freedom, Socialist, Leftist protests.

Faux multi-millionaire Sean Hannity, called Occupy Wall Street “destructive” and “incoherent” protests in a segment with Ann Coulter. “It is a classic mob uprising,” Coulter agreed. “It’s utterly incoherent. They’re always left wing and completely destructive.” It's the Green Bay Packers Power Sweep of the Conservative handbook. Whenever America questions the rapacious criminal enterprise of Wall Street just Punch-A-Hippie!

It's all about dividing the 99%. Faux and Michelle Malkin are paid to sow dissent and confusion amongst the American People. Banksters and The 1% know and have always known that, "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."~ American "Financier" Jay Gould. Michelle Malkin is a liar. She lies for her Rich benefactors. It's what she's paid to do. Michelle Malkin is paid big money to rip asunder the 99%. Here is the photo from her despicable blog, in which she attempts to discredit the OWS Revolution:


Do not be silent! Do not bow down before the Moneyed Masters their Republican Hitmen and Conservatives goons. Do not allow Corporate Criminals and Wall Street Thieves steal your future, your birthright as an American; Your Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness! We are America! WE ARE THE 99%!
*- In 2007 when Mitt Romney was asked why his 5 Sons weren't enlisting to Fight in the GWoT, Romney replied, "One of the ways my sons are showing support for the nation is helping me get elected. Because they think I'd make a great President."

Do you know why there wasn't a Medal of Honor awarded to a living Service Member under George W. Bush?

Because Dick Cheney would have lost his front of the line free medical care. Seriously. One of the "benefits" a Living MoH recipient gets is front of the line medical care and they are the only persons who could move ahead of Vice President Cheney in an emergency.

Of course, while the MoH recipient will (bravely) deal with the aftermath of multiple tours and will have to make do with his special $1200-a-month augmented by COLA pension, Dick Cheney is basking in the Hundreds of Millions of blood soaked pay off dollars he has been awarded by the Companies who hired him to start Wars.

And from late 2001 to early 2009 there was Dick Cheney, who had skirted duty and chickened out of the Vietnam War via 5 deferments, telling George Bush not to award a Medal of Honor to anyone, so that he could keep receiving emergency heart transplants, angioplasties and surgeries without the fear of a living MoH Hero delaying his medical treatment

So, how do we thank our current Living MoH Heroes? By forcing President Obama to end these Disastrous Wars of Choice and Empire. And by holding the Republican Party accountable for the Disastrous Wars they championed which have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and 6 TRILLION siphoned off and stolen by War Profiteers leading us to the Republican Recession.

But, while George Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican Party hate our military Heroes I salute MoH Leroy Arthur Petry and Salvatore Giunta and all our honorable service members.

Joe Walsh says Obama is acting like a Boy tells the President to Quit Lying

"He acted like a ten-year old... We voted for him because of who he was...", Republican Representative Joe Walsh, thinks President Obama is a ___.
If there is one thing Joe Walsh knows it's that President Obama is black, "Most people voted for him because of who he was. He was a historic figure, our first black president." And that is all he knows. Joe Walsh is an embarrassment. As one of the leading figures of the 2010 Tea Party Republicans he is filled with the Ronald Reagan/ Grover Norquist ignorance of Government is the problem let's drown it in a bathtub....

As such he knows his job is to say the most incendiary buffoonish things and act like the Federal Government is corrupt and incompetent. And the Republicans have spent the last 30 years undermining and corrupting the Government. Joe Walsh and the Tea Party Caucus are the same as it ever was...

And as Joe Walsh endears himself to the Teabaggers by slandering that you-know-what in the White House, he continues the Republican tradition of screwing the working man over for his Corporate Masters. Just 4 months ago, Joe Walsh and the other 235 Republicans in the US House voted unanimously to continue giving US Taxpayer dollars money to Multinational Oil Companies.

"You've spent money like a drunken sailor for 3 years," - Joe Walsh. Hey Joe, what would a chicken hawk like yourself know about military service members? It'll be great when in 2012 Walsh loses his ill gotten and uncared for District, then he can stay in Washington DC and start a Tea Party think tank.

Jonah Goldberg tries to be Jack London, not the good writer part but the racist stuff

No, Jonah Goldberg is not as good a writer as London. Although they both did pen a fantasy novel on authoritarianism. Jack London's Dystopian Novel, The Iron Heel describes events which never happened and presages the craze of alternate history novels while Goldberg's book, Liberal Fascism, has less realism, even more fantasy elements and might be written proof of a hallucination or psychotic break.

Jonah Goldberg is however famous for being in good standing amongst the slimy pig shit sucking Chicken Hawk cowards who were more than willing to Champion War whilst their fat asses hid in the US.
"Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business." ~ Jonah Goldberg relayed his view of the 'Michael Ledeen Doctrine' on April 23, 2002.
Spoken like a coward who knew he would never be in harm's way at the whimsy of fat flabby mush butt asshole like himself.

Jonah Goldberg, didn't even feel any contrition at being such a coward,
As for why my sorry a** isn't in the kill zone, lots of people think this is a searingly pertinent question. No answer I could give -- I'm 35 years old, my family couldn't afford the lost income, I have a baby daughter, my a** is, er, sorry, are a few -- ever seem to suffice.
But instead used it as an opportunity to go hippie-punching,
But this chicken-hawk nonsense is something that's been batted around too many times to get into again here. What I do think is interesting is that out of the thousands upon thousands of emails I've gotten from people in the military over the years, maybe a dozen have ever asked this question. Invariably, it's anti-war leftists who believe that their personally defined notions of hypocrisy trump any argument and any position.
But, Jonah wasn't content to merely cheer on war from the comfort of his keyboard. On 12/12/2007, Goldberg infamously was the featured speaker for a lecture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, entitled All I am Saying is Give War a Chance. It's stated goal being:
Join the UMass Republican Club for yet another lively and edifying political discussion on the costs, necessities, consequences, and benefits of war. A question and answer session will be administered after the initial lecture.
Well, all his Warmongering changed once President Obama got into power. Because to Jonah, War is merely a vehicle to advance his bigoted conservative worldview. So, after President Obama oversaw the successful operation which resulted in the Death of Osama Bin Laden, what's a warmongering chicken hawk asshole like Jonah Goldberg to do? Why proclaim that Bush's Iraq Folly was by far a bolder move!

But, Jonah isn't one to let the Death of Bin Laden get in the way of his bullshit. Jonah manages to get his dig in on President Obama with this backhanded compliment,
But I was also reluctant because, yes, the president deserves praise for doing it and there are so few things I find praiseworthy in his agenda.
And then wasted no time in disproving my post of a few days ago when I wrote that,
Unlike London, the Republicans can't merely write to Tim Pawlenty and tell him, "The White Man must be rescued."
Because and this is what undercuts Jonah's false assertions for why he doesn't like President Obama, the majority of conservatives and Republicans hate the President for his heritage. And no matter what his successes or his continuation of Bush policies they can not get past his skin color. So just like Jack London, Jonah Goldberg cried out to the Great White Hope. In Jonah's case, that hope is that Coupons-for-Healthcare Congressman Paul Ryan.

Jonah recognizes there is a paucity of competent, let alone sane, Republicans vying to challenge President Obama and in a show of conservative desperation Goldberg allows his inner-racist to peek out,
So the question many are asking is, should Ryan ride to the rescue?
and
Many think that if he got the nomination, he would clean Obama’s clock in the debates.
Jonah finally ends in calling for his Great White Hope to rescue America from the unworthy one,
Unless someone suddenly rises to the challenge, the cries of “Help us, Paul Ryan, you’re our only hope!” will only get louder.

The Republican Party's notions of Shared Sacrifice

In order to be part of the totalitarian mind-set, it is not necessary to wear a uniform or carry a club or whip. It is only necessary to wish for your own subjection, and to delight in the subjection of others. ~ Christopher Hitchens, from god is not Great pg. 232, sums up the Republican Party and their conservative fanatics use of Government in order to subjugate the Poor and Middle Class.
Whenever you watch a Sunday Political Show and a Republican bureaucrat talks about Shared Sacrifice watch out it means the Middle Class is in for a beating. The Republican Party has spent the last 30 years dismantling the Federal Government in an effort to destroy the Poor and subjugate the Middle Class.

When Wall Street engaged in furious gambling aided by the blind eye of Republican de-regulation it meant the Middle Class would sacrifice by being on the hook for the debts incurred. Of course, the Wall Street hoodlums know this because they've been pulling the same scam for 30 years ever since Ronald Reagan and John McCain gave them the nod, with the Savings & Loan Scandal, that Corporate theft would be protected with stolen Tax payer dollars.

Shared Sacrifice means a Federal Worker pay freeze on Middle Class government employees while helping Goldman Sachs funnel Billions of Tax Payer dollars into bonuses for the Bankers whose profligate "investment" gambling was aided and endorsed by President Bush and the Republican Party and the cause of the 2007-2009 Republican Party recession.

When Republicans start wars, as a means of a gigantic transfer of wealth from the Nation to the blood sucking War Profiteers, for instance Halliburton and Blackwater (Xe), it meant the poor and middle class would bear the brunt of the suffering and sacrifice, while Republicans profit off the blood of dead Americans in wars they will never serve in for Republicans eschew military service due to their inherent cowardice.

When Republicans talk about shared sacrifice in terms of cutting Federal spending it means an elimination of regulatory bodies, like the FDA, the EPA, OSHA and MSHA which keep Corporate monstrosities from poisoning our food water and air or from working Americans in dangerous slave conditions. It also means Republicans will continue to strive to steal from pensions and social security as detailed in Paul Ryan's plan to eliminate Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

It means Billions of dollars physically lost in Iraq as the price of Warmongering and Trillions of dollars stolen from Social Security and transferred to the Republican War Profiteers off-shore banks in the Cayman Islands and UBS Switzerland. It means the end of Regulation on Banks, it means apologies to Oil Companies who destroy our lands and defense of Rich Mine Owners who kill their workers, it means an increase of Taxes on the Poor, while Taxes on the Rich decrease.

Shared Sacrifice to Republicans means the rapidly expanding gulf between the Rich and the rest of America. It means the Grover Norquist and Voodoo Economists dream of destroying Unions.
"They can tell their unions that they have to accept cuts now or face a much more dire fate in bankruptcy court.”
And the Sham Tea Party Hateriots have allowed themselves to be conditioned that Unions are always to blame. The $30K-a-year garbage man in New York City is to blame for the economy and not the recklessness of real estate "moguls" who leveraged and repackaged billions in junk investments in order to make big scores on the Republican housing bubble scam. Conservatives blame dead Chicago Firefighters and not Harry Macklowe whose, as pointed out in the New York Times Real Estate section, "$7 billion gamble on seven Midtown skyscrapers at the top of the market almost cost him his entire empire, is out looking for new deals."

And while thousands of Americans have been fast-tracked into bankruptcy and home foreclosure,
the truth is that there have been surprisingly few career fatalities among New York developers, even though they have lost billions of investor dollars on overpriced real estate and have littered the city with unfinished apartment buildings. While a homeowner who lost a house to foreclosure would find it difficult to borrow for years, developers who defaulted on enormous loans have still been able to attract money.
Nope Republicans are busy browbeating their conservative slaves into believing the Middle Class is to blame.

Shared Sacrifice means the realization of the Republican Goal of Neo-Feudalism, wage slavery and cutthroat Capitalism for the Poor and Socialism for the Rich and their undying Corporate monsters.
