Iran It's an Imminent Threat

It's a put-on
An Imminent Threat?
It's a put-on, It's a put-on, It's a put-on

As always Trump and his maladministration is lying. The reason Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, Trump himself, or any other fascist drone of this cabal say they can't reveal details of the imminent threat is because it didn't exist. And now they can't manufacture any real data or intel to substantiate the claim.

On Faux News, Pompeo did away with even the semblance of a cover-story, "There is no doubt there were a series of imminent attacks being plotted. We don’t know precisely when and we don't know precisely where. But it was real."

'We don't know when and where...'

But, it doesn't matter. The Magat Horde doesn't need any real Casus Belli. Trump's barnstorming' act is all they really want. So he decided to keep it simple, used his signature style of malaprop insults, and this reckless, unjustified strikeThe Anti-Benghazi!

Ta-dah!

The ground has been well plowed for Trump; 25 years of Faux News, 40 years of toxic rightwing talk radio, 60 years of Birtcher propaganda, and 150 years of revisionist rightwing history, so entire generations of conservatives have been born and died believing naught but lies and rightwing agitprop. Of course, they know Qasem Soleimani was about to blow up the Embassy in Iran or Iraq or Washington DC, whatever. And of course, they know Solemani directly killed hundreds of Marines and Soldiers and millions of people.

Of course, the Soleimani killing which also resulted in 9 other deaths, was just a Weapon of Mass Distraction, from the real battle Republicans wished to wage against their true enemy; the Democratic Party and the ostensible American Left. So after the drone strike, Republicans flooded every channel of the toxic rightwing propaganda machine with Democrats love the Terrorists, a time-honored slander conservatives have been flinging for years.

There's no coming back from the depths conservatives have reached. The entire Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy abetted by a Cult of fanatics who will never abandon their god-emperor.

Trump is slowly transitioning, as I always knew he would, from calling the Media and elected Democratic Congresspersons vicious, horrible and evil, to labelling anyone who votes against him in those terms. He's edged this way before, as when he tasked Police Unions to suss out which Officers voted against him. But, as the election nears, Traitor Tump is getting closer and closer to directly calling on his Cultists to round-up and concentrate his enemies into camps. And understand, conservatives and especially their paramilitary armies (the Oathkeepers and III Percenters) are oiling up their guns just waiting to execute Trump's Order for someone to rid him of these Non-#MAGA.

The stabbing of Neo-Nazi Joshua Witt in Sheridan, Colorado; anatomy of Right-Wing Propaganda

The Fox News Headline from August 20th reads: Anti-Fascist stabs Innocent Man over 'Neo-Nazi' haircut

Followed by the lede:

Joshua Witt, who is in no way a neo-Nazi, was getting out of his car at Steak ’n Shake in Sheridan, Colorado when a black man ran over to him yelling, "Are you one of them neo-Nazis?" 

The man aimed for his head over his car door, but Witt blocked the blow with his hand, which needed three stitches.

Now, I don't know this Witt so it's slightly possible he's not a Neo-Nazi but, what I do know is he is a criminal liar, i.e. A conservative.

Witt stabbed himself, fabricated the story, disseminated it on social media, and filed a false Police Report.  Conservative criminal Witt has now been arrested.  Worse than Witt's bullshit lies he implicated a nearby homeless black man whom Police detained and questioned in the incident.

Imagine if this transient individual was mentally ill (Ronnie Raygun and the Republicans kicked millions of mentally ill people into the streets by cutting medical coverage) and reacted badly to the Police and was hurt or killed.  It's a supreme credit to the Sheridan Police Officers and Detectives who took time, investigated properly and found the true criminal; Neo-Nazi Joshua Witt.

But, what will live on forever is the comments by deranged vile conservatives.  They are aching for the chance, yearning for the order, praying for the day they can begin murdering liberals, blacks, feminists, and immigrants.

Hundreds of right-wing internet sites posted this story, thousands of conservatives read it, and posted hundreds of thousands of violent, vile, evil messages stating they are going to murder liberals and begin Civil War 2.0.

Conservatives now dutifully see a headline posted by some right-wing provacetuer, often don't even bother to read any part of the story, and react as expected and desired, with visceral anger and blistering rage.  Faux News, right-wing hate radio, the incestuous conservative internet exist to keep their duped and battered drones in a constant state of agitated arousal, angry and frightened, scared and mad, ready to do violence to the people conseravtives have always hated and wished dead; The American People.

Notice, there was no Trumpian bullshit about waiting for the facts to come in before posting this story.  Fox News and the incestuous conservative media puked this into the right-wing bloodstream to enflame and agitate.

There appears to be no fringe conservatives; the entire conservative movement is replete with fascists, who seem daily to be getting closer and closer to declaring out-right war.  I think we're fucked.  Propaganda seems to have won.  I don't see how we can stem the tide of lying right-wing fascists spreading their vicious evil bigotry and flasehoods.  It's been absorbed into 3 generations of conseravtives.

Everyone at Charlottesville was a Leftist

"The fucking jew-lovers are gassing us," - Faux News interviewed a white guy who must have been a liberal.

It's important to note that according to received conservative wisdom all parties involved in the Charlottesville incident are Democrats, the DNC, or the alt-left.

According Jonah Golberg's semen all work Liberal Fascism and D'inesh D'Criminal's flatulent opus, The Big Lie, properly understood all Nazis are Liberals.

Additionally, since the diminutive Nazi stands for National Socialism, all those violent neo-nazis in Virginia were really Bernie Sanders supporting Progressives.

Furthermore,  every conservative online can recite that the Klan are Democrats, because Robert Byrd Q.E.D., therefore all the klan supporting white supremacists wearing pleated chinos, white polos, and red #MAGA hats are really Democrats.

Richard Spencer, who shouted Heil Trump last November is really a liberal.  The protesters defending Robert E. Lee are all members of the Democrat Party.

Facing these ardent leftists and Democrats was the alt-left, a group made up of DNC operatives who released HRC emails to Russia to discredit Trump but, didn't understand the backlash amongst non-racists because the Klan, Stormfront, Neo-Nazis, and every racist white supremacist is a liberal who voted for Barack Obama!

So this was a civil war between the Left and the Left.

Of course,  what this really shows is conservatives have been engaged in a decades long  campaign of shameless lying and despicable propaganda efforts to pretend their base is not domestic terrorists, racists, bigots, and Neo-Nazis.  Conservatives are Traitors and Criminals and represent the gravest danger to the United States and the World.

Carrier shows how disingenious Conservatives are and will be throughout the illegitimate Presidency of Trump

Donald Trump saved 1000 jobs at Carrier! Or so right-wingers would have you believe.

In reality United Technologies Inc was given $7,000,000 in taxpayer money from the state of Indiana, to refrain from moving their subsidary company Carrier Corp Heating and Air Conditioning manufacturing to Mexico.

As was easily predicted conservatives are readily carrying Trump's water and proclaiming this a miracle of Trump business acumen. MAGA in action! Little Alt-Right darling Tomi Lahren took time out of her busy schedule of "not seeing color" to laud her MAGA Savior Trump over Carrier

Over at Breitbart, (warning link goes to Nazi HQ) the official organ of the Trump Presidency, these "1000 jobs" are treated as 1000 separate miracles. Of course, the same conservative neo-nazis who decried, denounced and derided government assistance to General Motors, and typed thousands of hot takes from all corners of the fetid right-wing diarrhea internet chuckled at their turn-of-phrase, "Government Motors". Ho ho ho!

Now, as always the conservative neo-nazis over at Breitbart who so vociferously proclaiming this an unparalled success have ZERO connection to Carrier and are simply commenting to help "catapult the propaganda", while they have fun insulting liberals.

It's going to be a long four years of right-wingers proclaiming everything Trump does a MAGA success while decrying liberals at every turn, and blaming everything else on President Obama.

Because despite their pouting that Obama had to stop blaming Bush circa Jan 21st 2009, Conservative Neo-Nazis hold grudges forever, still blame President Carter for events 30 years later, and are busily working towards turning the Nation into a Wage Slavery State, while happily affixing chains of corporate bondage to all of us.

A solid link in the chain of corporate bondage was forged in Indiana because that $7,000,000 will have to come from somewhere and the conservative neo-nazis are always ready to kick the poor.

I voted for Trump, the Micro-Aggressions of the Conservative Nazis

Trump's supporters are emboldened by Trump Second Place Victory. White Conservatives, because they are always white, have taken to yelling, 'I Voted Trump, We are Coming for You'.

The key takeaway from each of these incidents is always whites are in power again and they are going to return America to it's Founding Values, #MAGA.

Micro-aggressions are how these things start. But, these micro-aggressions are not the acts of the powerful but, of the powerless. Conservative Trump supporters have no power. They know it. And this is the reason they voted for Trump.

Trump promised them power so conservatives are strutting around as if they own the place. But, the joke's on them because Trump and his inner circle of Neo-Nazis own it and are going to take it all.

Undoing TPP won't bring IPhone manufacturing jobs to the US. Coal mining may increase but, any extra money for coal miners will come from more time down in the mines not from increases to wages or benefits. Tool and Dye and Steel Mills will not magically re-open with Union jobs in the Rust Belt, Trump's area of support, for the #MAGA voters to have for the next 30 years.

Now their lack of power doesn't mean they can't do damage on a small scale. So, the Trumpenproletariat will engage in minor abuses and micro-aggressions against those whom they feel they can harass, intimidate, or hurt with impunity.

Like this woman, a serial abusive white power Trump Voter in Chicago, screeching I voted for Trump at black employees and people in the store,

Or this Delta Airlines riding man lording Trump's election over the Hillary bitches on the flight,

Or any of the 900 incidents the Southern Poverty Law Center has documented in the 3 weeks since the election.

But, this evidence means exactly nothing to the Trumpenproletariat. If it isn't reported on Faux News, posted on Drudge Report, Infowars, or Breitbart or spoken on toxic right-wing talk radio it isn't true and they will not accept it, creating their own version of what is true.

The Republican Party is now a fully realized white power party. They have a fully-functioning alternate source of Propaganda to draw upon which confirms everything they believe and reinforces everything they want to be true. They speak in code only to like-minded white power right-wingers.

There is no coming back from this. Conservatives are Nazis. There is only the further descent into fascism and the evils which accompany that extreme right-wing ideology.

But, we must give in nor despair. The Conservative Nazis are the minority. Don't accept their micro-aggressions. Don't accept the evil ideology the Republicans are going to rapidly ensconce into law. Organize, Resist, Fight Back. Never Surrender because that is what these micro-aggressors are demanding when they scream TRUMP WON! GET OVER IT! they are demanding your surrender, they are demanding you accept the imposition of a fascist right-wing white power government.

But, never forget these are the actions of the powerless pawns who've been brainwahsed and duped by 35 years of relentless right-wing propaganda. It may be too late for them but, it isn't too late for America.

President Elect Trump just called his election illegitimate

Keeping quiet is not Donald Trump's strong suit. #Notmypresident Trump claimed today the election he ostensibly just "won" was fraught with illegal voting.

It has been evident HRC was going to win the popular vote 3 weeks ago, so Breitbart and InfoWars began their propaganda campaign. Right-Wingers seeing the incoming data understood HRC was going to win the popular vote by 2 million votes or so, therefore they crafted the lie that 3 million illegals voted.

Conservatives knew they needed a higher number than HRC's victory total so 3 million was the number they settled upon. Or more accurately completely made up and pulled out of their asses.

Of course, right-wingers immediately disseminated their propaganda as far and wide as possible to convince as many people as possible of that, in fact, Trump won the popular vote.

Conservatives need little convicing. But, apparently Donald Trump needed a little time to absorb the fact he handily lost the popular vote.

The Right-Wing media are busy at work defending their lies and duplicitous politicking. But, I believe Trump and his inner circle of Nazis are convinced this recount and lurching the Nation towards a Constitutional Crisis can only aid them in their agenda of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich.

Sorry Conservatives it's still illegal to say Merry Christmas

The right-wing internet is giddy with the victory in the War on Christmas but, unforuntately for them come this December 25th, Kenyan Marxist Secret Islamic Usurper Barack HUSSEIN Obama shall still be President thus Obama's Executive Order banning the saying of Merry Christmas will still be in effect.

Too bad!

There are 4 or 5 conservatives I know, personally who are planning on making the bold decision to say Merry Christmas this December and I plan to arrest them immediately afterwards and render them to the New Black Panther Party run FEMA Death Camps.

I know WWC you are all giddy with all the "winning" you're going to be doing but, not yet. Sorry, conservatives Maybe Next Year.

One of the horrifying problems apparently uncovered in the internet age is that propaganda and lies work and can't be stopped. Buzzfeed reported that Facebook helped various right-wing sites, like EndingtheFed, disseminate fake news designed to arouse and anger conservatives. The War on Christmas right-wing bullshit has been just one of thousands of lies the conservative internet propagated knowing they all can't be debunked and that some percentage of conservatives will absorb them and hold them fast despite debunking.

Even trained intelligence analysts and police officers I know and work with fall for loaded rhetoric and inflammatory propaganda that they read on their facebook feeds or hear from right-wing radio. Conservatives uncritically believed unsourced lies and outright disinformation campaigns.

It's sad that as new generations come of age they fall for the same techniques and methods which plunged Nations and the World into turmoil and war in the past.

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%.

Right-Wingers See What they Want to See

Clearly, this is not merely a problem amongst right-wingers, it's human nature to reach preconceived conclusions and then despite any evidence to the contrary cling to those conclusions. I choose righties because the conclusions they have reached concerning many problems facing the US these days are rooted in massive propaganda efforts by very powerful interests.

Conservatives are convinced gay people are self-loathing, atheists are angry, progressives are life-hating. For instance, here are the comments at my right-wing buddy Silverfiddle's blog Western Hero:

It's a revealing peek into the mind of a flamboyant self-loather.

why are Leftists so disgusting and such liars?

There is a strong undercurrent of self-loathing and life-hating in much of progressivism.

By using this to demonize Santorum aren't homosexuals kind of being self-hating? Why would homosexuals hate a frothy mix of lube? That is disgusting and shows how hateful liberal homosexual propagandists can be.

It's not projection. It's not a question of what conservatives believe about themselves. It's a question of what they want to believe about Liberals.

This level of belief about liberals helps support much of the right-wingers thought structure. Since, the GOP was founded by Abolitionists. Then, modern Republicans can't be racist and are the true champions of freedom. It's a great fallacious syllogism which right-wingers eat up.

Conservatives already know the Democrats *is* soft on defense. Ergo, Barack Obama is soft on Defense and mayhap with that name he loves America's enemies? So, it doesn't matter how many children Barack Obama orders incinerated via drone missile attacks or succeeding in getting Osama Bin Laden when George W. Bush failed for 8 years. Or as Senator Jim DeMint put the conservative drone-speak,

"It has been the most anti-business and I consider anti-American administration in my lifetime. Things that are just so anathema to the principles of freedom, and everything he has come up with centralizes more power in Washington, creates more socialist-style, collectivist policies. This president is doing something that’s so far out of the realm of anything Republicans ever did wrong, it’s hard to even imagine."

Nuuuuuuu, Ooooobama bad to business.... Uhhhhhh, Oooobama hate America....

It allows conservatives to similtaneously be outraged to the point of Impeachment towards Bill Clinton while blissfully ignoring or even embracing Newt Gingrich for the same transgressions.

Conservatives have preset ideas, nothing is going to dissaude them. Newt Gingrich is hardly a scion of "family values". He's been married 3 times. Each marriage has some bizarre and messy problems, numerous stories exist that Gingrich cheated mulitple time with numerous woman, but Gingrich is a Republican. So, look as the promenient Right-wingers leap to his defense:

"All it does, Sean, is incentivize conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it’s played so selectively by media, that their target, in this case Newt, he’s now going to soar even more,” Sarah Palin said. Palin is rather astute here, because Gingrich turned all questions about his rampant infieldity into an attack on The Lamestream Media and it worked.

Dennis Prager noted that Oskar Schindler was a married man with a mistress*.

Racist Limbuagh had to manueuver his ponderous infected asshole to Newt's defense while also employing the Punch-A-Hippie attack,

"Newt's a victim. We all are. Ours is the horniest generation. We were soldiers in the sex revolution. We were tempted by everything from Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice to Plato's retreat, Deep Throat to no fault divorce. Many of us paid the ultimate price."

But, the pièce de résistance has to go to Keith Ablow, employee of Faux News. Ablow's defense of Newt is sublime,

When three women want to sign on for life with a man who is now running for president, I worry more about whether we'll be clamoring for a third Gingrich term, not whether we'll want to let him go after one.

Hussah! One Gingrich Term per Wife!

Unfortunately, what Liberals have to realize is arguing facts with right-wingers is irrelevant. This is far beyond righties blithely looking past Gingrich's infidelity (or Cain's, or Sanford's or Larry Craig). It's far beyond IOIYAR. It's about the human condition. Once a person reaches a conclusion it is very hard to unseat them. And the the Very Powerful people who control the Right-Wing have been spending massive amounts of time and money pumping their rubes full of propaganda. We can see now that it has worked. The Right has fully embraced an Alternate Reality.

*- Prager actually used Schindler as a defense of Herman Cain.

BP Commercials and Lawsuits and the Petroleum Pigs

"Are you fuckin' kiddin' me? You don't ever admit the existence of this thing. Ever!" ~ Frank Vincent, The Sopranos

BP wants you to know they destroyed the Gulf for Generations but, it's fine now. I'm actually surprised that BP ran a commercial during the BCS title game. I'm not surprised they choose to peddle their pablum to the mouth-breathers who breathe vicariously through student-athletes. Just that they would reference it at all.

The standard model for the rapacious evil Petroluem Companies has been to blame 'Mother Nature' let a spill fade into memory and then proclaim 'See it's all better now!'

BP's commercials portray a sublime Gulf, with sparkling beaches, reenergized businesses, smiling happy fishermen and pristine waters bursting with seafood. As the propaganda tells Us, 'BP is still here and isn't going anywhere.' So get used to your gulf shrimp and oil cocktail.

These commercials, only 20 months after the biggest criminal Oil disaster (that Americans have seen), should serve as a stark reminder of BP's absolute evil. But, Surprise America! The undying negligent Corporate Monster BP has been screwing the US and the World for decades in the pursuit of Oil profits.

Every now and again, a Petroleum Corporation has to step forward and receive the lash of public criticism, but the key for the Oilmen has always been to keep the game going. And they have honed their skills and refined their modus operandi for a century.

The Petroleum Pigs have some how convinced the American People, Natural Resources which belong to Us as a Nation, are theirs. So, they steal Our Oil and sell it for Their Profits and ensure whatever the damage to the land and people that occurs isn't their problem and they receive taxpayer funding to do it all. Profits Privatized, Losses and Costs Socialized. American Capitalism at it's finest.

Even when the victims of the Oil Monsters victims were nominal Americans, i.e. Native Alaskans and the land and seas destroyed were "U.S." territory, Americans could be relieved to know no lawsuits against Exxon would be heard as a result of the heinous unforgivable Exxon Valdez spill.

Although Alaska Natives may have suffered to a greater degree than members of the general public, "differences in the intensity with which a public harm is felt does not justify a private claim for public nuisance." . . . All Alaskans have the right to lead subsistence lifestyles, not just Alaska Natives.

Judge Russell Holland 03/23/94.

Fortunately, as long as the BP or Chevron or ExxonMobil or Royal Dutch Shell Group were destroying ecosystems and screwing people Overseas no problem! The Free Market knows best. Drill, Baby! Drill! I bet you didn't hear about the massive Oil spills from Royal Dutch Shell Group, the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez every year for 50 years or the fact it will take 30 years for the damage to subside and cost $1 Billion Dollars.

In South America, at least, the people are fighting back. President Rafael Correa, a U.S. and Belgian educated economist declared the debts forced on Ecuador by Vulture Capitalists and Corporate Oil Monsters to be illegitimate and that the oil and gas reserves in the country belong 100% to the People of Ecuador. This greatly angers the Neo-Feudalists and the Petroleum Pigs. Happily, the Ecuadorian Courts have ruled the overwhelming evidence of criminal negligence and evil tactics used by Chevron from 1964-1992 constituted a ruling of $18 Billion Dollars in damages.

The evidence against Chevron comes not only from plaintiffs, but also from Chevron's own experts and environmental auditors as well as independent third-party sources. The damages included a punitive component designed to punish Chevron for trying to sabotage the trial and threaten judges with jail time if they did not rule in the company's favor.

On Sunday 01/08/12, Hugo Chavez declared, "I will say it once. We will not recognize any decisions of the ICSID. We will not recognize them." Chavez seized back control of Venezuela's resources from the Vultures at ExxonMobil. Exxon called upon the power of the IMF and the World Bank to exert economic pressure on Venezuela regain control. Chavez along with allies Bolivia and Nicaragua, has said in the past that it would withdraw from the convention that created the ICSID, arguing that the international body gives transnational companies a gateway to violate national sovereignty.

So, BP agreed to pay $20 Billion Dollars for damages to the Gulf. This only happened after Republicons nearly shit themselves unconscious apologizing to BP for the hassle. And only after BP agreed to a "fair mediator" Kenneth Feinberg to administer the fund. "I want the lawsuits to stop" Kenneth Feinberg said. Of course, what Ken Feinberg actually wanted was the lawsuits against BP to stop. BP has been free to sue whomever they wanted and they did so in April 2011 when they filed lawsuits against Transocean Ltd., Halliburton Co. and Cameron International, for over $40 Billion Dollars.

See how "fair" that is? BP causes a Disaster and stands to gain $20 Billion Dollars in profit. It's all part of the Game. Oil Companies steal your Oil and sell it back to you. And they get you to finance the con they are pulling, foist the cost of the damages their rape of the land causes, while getting the rubes to clap and cheer wildly "Drill Here Drill Now!"

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.

Pollution-oution what's the Solution?

Drill Baby Drill...

Is the Right Wing attack on Climate Change also an attack on Pollution laws and enforcement?

Most on the Right are utterly convinced that Global Climate Change is some kind of fraud or hoax. I have my doubts about man-made Climate Change but they are always tempered by the knowledge that those who vehemently deny Climate Change also just as vehemently deny Evolution. There is something in the conservative brain which makes them utterly convinced of their positions, doubtless and so stubborn that no amount of evidence is ever enough to change their views. Indeed to a conservative changing one's views and having an mind open to new ideas is anathema. Conservatives prefer slavery and idiocy to new thoughts. Indeed most Conservatives and Republicans think Slavery is a wonderful idea.

But, while the mass of conservatives lap up Sean Hannity's nightly garbage they are also sucking down filthy water, air and food because under the catastrophic Bush/Cheney regime the EPA was bridled, enforcement of pollution laws was curtailed or ignored and Companies felt free to rampantly violate all pollution standards in pursuit of a few extra dollars.

BP acknowledged that for the last six years its Whiting refinery violated federal pollution limits on benzene, a highly toxic chemical linked to leukemia and other health problems.

BP reported that it had processed too much benzene at the refinery's sewage treatment plant, about 15 miles southeast of Chicago.

Last year alone, the company processed more than 95 tons of benzene waste -- about 16 times the amount allowed. BP also violated the 6-ton limit from 2003 to 2007.

Whiting Refinery was cited who violations of U.S. and Indiana EPA regulations in October 2008,

Federal regulators say BP PLC violated the Clean Air Act by beginning to make modifications at its Indiana oil refinery along Lake Michigan to process Canadian crude without the proper permit.

The EPA said in November the modifications caused "significant increases" in sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and carbon monoxide emitted from the refinery.

Near Charleston West Virginia American families no longer have clean water to drink because the Bush Administration gleefully allowed Coal Companies to violate EPA standards and pollute the water table so badly that families are drinking a toxic sludge which is eating away at their bodies:

Jennifer Hall-Massey knows not to drink the tap water in her home near Charleston, W.Va.

In fact, her entire family tries to avoid any contact with the water. Her youngest son has scabs on his arms, legs and chest where the bathwater — polluted with lead, nickel and other heavy metals — caused painful rashes. Many of his brother’s teeth were capped to replace enamel that was eaten away.

Neighbors apply special lotions after showering because their skin burns. Tests show that their tap water contains arsenic, barium, lead, manganese and other chemicals at concentrations federal regulators say could contribute to cancer and damage the kidneys and nervous system.

In the last five years alone, chemical factories, manufacturing plants and other workplaces have violated water pollution laws more than half a million times.

But conservatives don't care. Republicans and Conservatives love when Americans die, the sound of Americans suffering is music to the Republican ear.

And when Americans voice their sorrows or concerns Conservatives like Beck, R. Limbaugh, M. Malkin and Laura Ingraham make fun of their suffering or the Right trots out horse mouthed (or is that jack-ass mouthed) Michelle Bachmann with her odd body language, excessive blinking, frozen faced smile, vacant wide-eyed stare and stilted speech patterns punctuated with strange arm and hand gesticulations to declare the planet was saved already!

Other people Suffering is a Conservative Value. Republicans and Conservatives want you to die so they can make money.

The Terrorists (The Republican Party) Are Winning

Counterinsurgency has taught us how to lose wars while rationalizing these losses as victories. The following is a COIN Leadership exercise -- a mirror and a Class A uniform are required. This is self-administered and can be conducted at any pace.
[1] Dress up in Class A uniform with all applicable awards, tabs and decorations.
[2] Stand in front of mirror. Be at ease.
[3] Breathe deeply while placing one hand on the Soldier's Creed and one over the Ranger's Creed.
[4] Look earnestly in the mirror and reflect upon your glory while reciting:

"I am a soldier of the United States of America."
"I am a member of an Army that hasn't lost a battle since 1950, but hasn't won a war since 1945." - Ranger Against War

I read the excellent Ranger because of his insight and experience something completely lacking from the 5 Deferment Dick Cheney and our current President.

Our response to Terrorist attacks gives them weight. I'm not advocating a turn-the-other-cheek response but what did Dick Cheney do after the worst attack occurred while he was in charge; Dick Cheney and the Republicans destroyed America.

It was the culmination of the Republican Party Platform. Evil Republicans, like Idaho Republican Rex Rammell, have always hated America and have worked ceaselessly to undercut and destroy every program designed to help Americans grow and prosper; because to Republicans Americans are chattel with the sole purpose of providing them with access and control of the American Government. Once in charge they use the power of Government to enrich themselves, their families and their Corporate Masters, for whom they do they bidding.

However, a slight glitch occurred as the American people, despite the Fox News efforts, began to turn and vote out the Republicans in 2006 and 2008. Despite the Punk Ass Bitch Chicken Hawk Cowards bellicose rhetoric that the deaths of thousands of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan were "worth it", Americans do not want to be sacrificed on the Altar of Republican Aggrandizement.

Frank Gaffney: "It is regrettable that they had to die, but I believe they did have to die."

However, the System (The Military Industrial Complex) rolls on, even with Obama as President and the Wars for Profit continued in Iraq and were expanded in Afghanistan.

But that isn't good enough for The Chicken Hawk Republicans. Those Punk Ass Bitches want and need to be in power actively murdering Americans for Money. Republicans love to see Americans die because it means they get campaign donations or lucrative jobs in the Defense Contractor or Defense Lobbying "industries". Industries which produce naught but Death and Destruction.

So, a one man operation has provided the REMFpublicans a chance to attack President Obama for being Weak on Terror. It being the Season of Joy and Peace and Forgiveness the Right Wing Extremists have embraced Hatred with Glee.

The Punk Ass Bitch Republican Party are actively aiding the Terrorists. Because they view them as another device to be used to win votes and regain power. And that's all they care about, they even say so publicly:

Allen Quist, a [Punk Ass Bitch] Republican who is seeking to defeat Rep. Tim Walz in southern Minnesota’s First Congressional District, told attendees of the Wabasha County Republicans Christmas Party in mid-December that beating the “radical” liberals in Washington, D.C., is a bigger battle than beating terrorism.

Republicans have one goal it's to regain the levers of power in Government, because what they do when in charge is use the power of Government to enrich themselves and kill people. That is the Republican Party Platform: Use Government to make themselves and their Corporate Masters Wealthy and Kill as many Americans as possible.

They mostly Hate Obama for being Black, Mostly...

They mostly come out at night... Mostly...

President Carter called out what underlies some of the hatred for President Obama. He's Black. Race is a component of the hatred but it's not the main one. Ignorance is the main issue. Ignorance of how The Nation got here...

Of course, the Toxic Commentators and outright Racist Republicans, such as Joe Wilson, who Race Bait in order to stoke and feed the misplaced rage of the 912 Teabagging Birtherites don't mind aligning themselves with the Right Wing Racists.

Obama inherited the Republican Party's abject failures during the Presidency of Bush. Afghanistan, Iraq, the Economy, the Border, the Housing Market, The Banking Industry, the dying Automotive Industry. Most of the problems affecting The US today are related to Ronald Reagan's Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Economic Model. Bush faithfully applied it using the Power of the Federal Government to ensure that The Super Rich Klepotocracy has the greatest hold on Wealth ever seen in the States.

It is not easy to get poor and middle class laborers to rally against Health Care reform while getting them to Champion Wars, which are used to transfer Trillions into the hands of those who see the Federal Government's role as protector and enhancer of the Opulence of the Super Rich.

According to Glenn Beck, Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture". Can Glenn define this "white culture"? No of course not, because it's not about art, or morality it's about political power. Beck and his Toxic Ilk are working on removing Obama from office and will use any and all loaded language appeals to ignorance and sly allusions to violence that they can.

Got A Gun Kill Some Women

Got a Gun
Fact I got Two
That's Okay Man 'cause I love Guns - Glorified G, Pearl Jam

Guns are tools. However, they are tools with the specific function of the projection of deadly force.

2009 has been a year of lament due to gun violence. Besides the common run-of-the-mill accepted gun violence and deaths, the ones were the reader shrugs his shoulders and goes ho-hum another day / another 6 shot at a gang members funeral. There have been spectacular episodes of gun murder as when the typical shooter "a quiet non-violent man who kept to himself" walked into a New York state Immigration center in April and proceeded to murder 13 people before killing himself.

It's hard enough for Police and the Court systems to stay on top of restricting gun access to those who have documented crimes as a recent August incident when a Chicago man shot his wife to death before taking his own life after a Domestic Dispute had been charged with a DB and had an OOP filed against him in 2006.

As a Police Officer you always fear coming into a Domestic and finding one of the involved parties has a gun, as a Libertyville Officer came upon on August 15th ending in the shooting and death of the suspect by the Officer.

And then you add on the nearly impossible to predict incidents when some catalyst starts a reaction which results in the slaying of 3 women and the wounding of 9 others while they were in a fucking yoga class by the aforementioned typical shooter, a quiet man who kept to himself, but whose warped and frustrated mind built up edifices of anger, which exploded into a murderous rage. He Ran Amuck and because of the tools he acquired 3 innocent people lost their lives.

Unfortunately, the Toxic Right has been augmenting the gun violence by stoking the fears of deranged and disturbed people with ObamaHitler is coming for your guns. This directly led to the ambush and murder of 3 Pittsburgh police officers at the hands of a Right Wing Extremist Terrorist. Who was specifically acting upon the idea that Police Officers as Obama Government officials were coming to take his guns, under the Obama Gun Ban.

There have been other Right Wing Extremist terror attacks this year, using guns, the murder of Doctor George Tiller and the attack on the Holocaust Museum.

Now, the Toxic Right and elected Republican Congressmen are encouraging people to show up armed to Obama's Town Halls. Why? Why are those who stoked and feed the flames of irrational fears with daily rhetoric about the encroaching Brownshirted ACORN-Nazi-Liberal-Islamo-Marxist-Fascist-Communist Dictatorship, encouraging people to bring guns to Presidential Rallies? And why did they not express the same fervent encouragement for Code Pink or Anti-War protesters to come packing to to Bush or Cheney Rally Round the Flag We Need More War speeches? (There's that nasty old time function again! Rights and patriotism change when a non-Republican is in office. Threatening gun violence is now what Real Americans do!)

I don't know what to do about Gun violence. I have no magic panaceas. But, the violence is reaching levels where it has to be debated. Distressingly the pro-gun argument techniques oft times devolve into: Ahem! Second Amendment. QED. So therefore, and as such as. Because shut up. Also.

It's been made worse as the bureaucratic system to control and ensure guns don't end up in the wrong hands has been shown to be lacking. It's not laziness or corruption which causes inefficiencies in a bureaucratic system, it's just not possible to apply general rules to cover all specifics and to have 100% efficiency when dealing with such a large number of people.

Americans do not want to live in a society with this Sword of Damocles (Barrel of Right Wingers) hanging over our heads. Of being gunned down at school, at a yoga center, at a funeral. Of being mistaken for throwing gang signs when speaking with a hearing disabled person, of being killed by your abusive spouse or of finding oneself at the end of a Birthers AR-15.

But, the empty and corrupt Hollow Men, the Glenn Becks who cavalierly suggest it's Time to Get a Gun when bewailing the Democratic Party are pointing the weapon at that which they want to destroy and easing the fingers of the deranged Protesters on the trigger...

You still have made a choice

Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal... ~ The Logical Song, SuperTramp

I do not like the power of the Federal Government and despite the last 8 months of posts, I'm not a staunch Obama Defender.

However, If you force me to make a choice between R. Limbaugh and the Birthers or Obama, I'm going to choose Obama. I can never forgive R. Limbaugh for making fun of Michael J. Fox by his grotesque undulating. And the Birthers, and their Fathers the Republican Party, have declared they can never accept Obama. So if that is the choice you offer, I'll stand with Obama.

The issue is the Misplaced Rage. The conservatives of the Nation have ignorantly allowed their anger to be displaced onto Obama from the real enemy. The President Who:
- diddled himself while the country received the Worst Terrorist Attack ever,
- undertook Nation building in War torn regions,
- expanded the Federal Government to new heights,
- allowed the hole at Ground Zero to remain a festering wound in order to exploit it for votes,
- negligently ignored Veterans returning from foreign wars of choice,
- subverted the Constitution,
- obscured and distorted scientific progress and thought,
- funneled Trillions to the Military-Industrial-Complex destroying the economy,
- used the power of the Federal Government to quash dissent and to undermine political enemies,
- hired incompetent religious zealots to run the military and the economy,
- and allowed criminals to drain money from the nation when hundreds of billions of dollars were hidden in Swiss Bank Accounts.

Obama has inherited a situation which Jessie Ventura declared he wouldn't "wish on his worst enemy", yet the conservatives have allowed themselves to be duped into hating and working to overthrow Obama because... he's a Kenyan Socialist, instead of the ignorant buffoon who transformed a surplus of 4 Trillion dollars into a 6 Trillion dollar debt and changed the country from the United into the Failed States of America.

Republicans Are Aiming for the Highest Office

No longer are the simply insane Alan Keyes and the slimy well known liar Jerome Corsi tasked with holding aloft the Birth Certificate Controversy. Prominent main line Republicans are tacitly and actively championing the claim Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore not the legitimate POTUS.

The reason members of the Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Deferments are running with the Birther Conspiracy is because the Republicans are hoping one of their Extremist followers, perhaps a member of Moonbattery, will assassinate Obama.

No longer are only the Fox Propagandists and R. Limbaugh left to carry the claims Obama is a Usurper in the White House, High profile prostitute Liz Cheney and Republican morons of Congress are getting prime air time to feign ignorance about the Obama birth certificate.

They have created this theory in order to have a rationale for why (even though they may not agree with the murder of Obama) they understand one their brain washed followers took it upon himself or selves to remove the false one from the highest office of the land and free the American People from the Islamo/Marxo/Nazi/Commie/Socialist Obama Reign of Tyranny.

Of course, after hundreds of thousands of hours of ranting and railing about Bullet boxes and Obama's Despotic Tyranny the cultivators of the Assassination will wash their hands O'Reilly style of the murder they are gleefully and fervently hoping and working to achieve.


Liz Cheney Hawks her Tawdry Wares

What Republicans Want

They want you to be a cog in the machines of Industry and War. This is why they constantly work to destroy Unions, progressive achievements, undercut true education and promote ignorant bigots and bigoted idiots.

The Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Deferment Republicans are racist but not exclusively racist, as long as you adhear to the proper ideology you will be accepted into the club regardless of the vagaries of your birth. What they want is the The Re-Rise Re-Domination and Rebirth of the Plutocracy a return to the feudal system of the exclusive and the rest of the nation toiling.

In the Republican world view they want Americans to work from 13-65 and then die. Those 50 years of toiling are all you are good for. And if they can allow in an illegal alien from Guatemala to dig that drainage ditch or outsource that medical notes dictation to India for half your cost then only an evil Socialist or Union would oppose them. Unions unfairly inflate Americans wages who should instead be competitively underbidding their labor down to the amount of a third world wage slave. A Nationalized Government run Health Care plan is good for them but not for you. A government supported pension system should give them money when they are old after their "hard work" but not for you.

Republicans see themselves as Gold in Plato's Myth of the Metals (The Republic Book III):

Citizens, you are brothers, yet god has framed you differently. Some of you have the power of command; and these he has made of gold,

Of course, the rest of society the toilers are Brass and Iron, and

when a man of brass or iron guards the state, it will be destroyed.

So the Republicans set up mental and physical cages for Americans because to them the majority of society are slag and have to be kept from destroying America.

And as the Nation slips further into the Reagan/W created Depression without the manufacturing base of decent jobs to pull her out of the slide the Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Deferment Republicans will increasing see armed violence and insurrection as the only option to regain control, especially if the Hannity Fox led propaganda efforts to smear Obama fail to bring election victories.

Right Wing Extremist RESPONSIBILITY

Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was?

...

None of you dumbasses knows? ~ Gunny R. Lee Ermey from the Famous and oft misinterpreted Full Metal Jacket.

Ultimately, everyone themselves must be accountable for their actions. Responsibility is not a political issue. Of course, in the hyper drive to have control of the government in order to enforce your will on every other American everything is an issue.

There have been three highly covered and intensely partisan terrorist attacks in America in the last two weeks; The murder of a Doctor, an American Soldier and now a Security Guard. Lost in the major network coverage has been the spike in violence and murder all across the nation, especially in my neighborhood Chicago land area.

What has not been lost is the Republican Toxic Defenders immediate propaganda response to shift the blame away from themselves and their American terrorist fomenting rhetoric and minimize the DHS Right-Wing Extremist report, which rightly warned and predicted of the Right's Terror Campaign.

The Right's rhetoric theses days is akin to the trainers of suicide bombers. Their demagogues spew forth a constant stream of hate-filled vitriol designed to set up a cascade of mental dominoes in their ignorant and brain washed followers. Who then respond with acts of violence after which the toxic commentators rush to bellow about their innocence and non-culpability as the deadly fields of violence they have sown are reaped by the terrorists they train...

Usually those in power have no qualms about setting the lesser classes of Americans against one another. But, it so happens with the Toxic Republican Pro Human Pain and Suffering Party of Deferments collapsing as a viable political entity they are more than willing to ratchet up the violent inciting speech. This is always done with the sheen of plausible deniability hanging about so when someone does follow through Hannity, Glenn Beck, Jonah Goldberg, She Who Shall Not Be Named 2 and the rest can affect their wide-eyed stance of, well of course i didn't mean for my mouth breathing followers to actually murder those troop hating, American destroying, socialist liberals who deserve to be dealt with someway (wink wink)...

However, these extraordinary acts of Republican motivated political violence and bloodshed still do not worry me as much as the ordinary murder and bloodshed being visited upon normal decent everyday Americans, until now that the Toxic Republican Pro Human Pain and Suffering Party of Deferments continued Call for Jihad is turning the extraordinary right wing political terror campaign into ordinary everyday occurrences.

So the Toxic Right will continue their plan to Blame Barack for absolutely everything continue to push the go out and get a gun the liberals are destroying America bombast and hope and pray for another foreign terrorist attack on America.

Update:
Watch video of Ed Schultz correctly declare "Absolutely" to Joe Scarborough that Dick Cheney "wants Americans to die in a terrorist attack so he can regain a political advantage".

You've heard these arguments before

“I’m not really certain how intellectually strong she would be..." - Karl Rove.

It's an argument used 20 years ago and one the Pro Human Pain and Suffering Racist Flabby Republicans can never let go.

''It's just that they may not have some of the necessities..." was the infamous line of Al Campanis on Nightline in 1987, which Rove et al are taping into. The "not smart" racist attack is not even thinly veiled or alluded to in a roundabout way it's blatantly stated by Rove.

The Republicans and their Toxic Commentators have learned an important lesson; before someone confronts you with your bigotry and wrong doings accuse them of the same charge. Hence the ridiculous Republican cries of Racism leveled against Sotomayor from the old, fat, puffy faced, flabby assed, bigoted white men who control the party. There is possibly no better retort than to simply look at (Video From Crooks and Liars) those leveling the charges; R. Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Tom "No to Evolution, Yes to Deferment" Tancredo, and Pat Buchanan. Old, Flabby, white and Racist. All of them professional bureaucrats, none of whom have probably ever done a day's labor and all of whom are Chicken Hawk members of the Party of Deferments, save Pat Buchanan who is staunchly anti-war and for which I give him much credit.

But you see to the Flabby Chicken Hawk Pro Human Pain and Suffering Party of Deferments, it doesn't even matter if the leaders believe the claims they make or not. It's simply part of their Art of War; Always disagree with the Socialist Democrats, always make outrageous attacks on them because the Party of Deferments are talking to their members, cooing malevolently into the ear of the rapidly aging and shrinking demographic who believes there really is no non-white male who possesses the necessary accoutrement and Sotomayor is a poor choice because she's an affirmative action choice just like all the other Hispanic Women on the Supreme Court, raised solely because of race.... err... and umm... their gender.

Update:
As for all the idiots (Red State and others) declaring it's an outrage they have to pronounce Judge Sotomayor's name correctly did all of you morons cheer on Brett Favre as FA-V-Ray or FARV for the Green Bay Packers?
