#W Kept US Safe / Benghazi Fever

As the madness of Benghazi Fever fully inflects the Republican Party, Sinn Fein member Peter King demanded a minute by minute account of President Obama's actions and whereabouts on September 11, 2012. Congressman King expressed his concern the Commander-in-Chief's job while in the Oval Office is to ensure the safety of Americans overseas in potential war zones.

Of course, as everyone knows US History from August 6, 2001 September 11, 2001 to January 19, 2009 did not exist. During that non-time, from listening to Republicans and Faux News, I've learned the following,

"We were certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time." - Eric Bolling 

"We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term..." - Dana Perino. 

"We inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation's history," - Mary Matalin. 

"[George Bush] he inherited the negative impact of 9/11," - Sean Hannity  

"What he should be doing is following the right things that Bush did, we had no domestic attacks under Bush," - Rudy Guilani

I think it's time we demand an hour by hour account of what George W. Bush was doing in the White House from when he declared Major Combat Operations over on May 1, 2003 (thanks to Hackwackers for reminding me of that ignoble anniversary) to the end of his White House residency on Jan 19, 2009.

But, I don't know how pages of brush-clearing, bike riding and Heh heh heh Pootie Poot! I could take.

Of course, as is the wont of Republicans they blame everyone else for their failures. Just like when the Bush Administration blamed the US Navy and crew of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln for the Mission Accomplished banner.

"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific, and said, Mission Accomplished For These Sailors Who Are On This Ship On Their Mission." - Dana Perino.

But, with Congressman Trey Gowdy set to chair the Boehner Select Benghazi Committee the Impeachment of President Obama is, most likely, imminent. 

"Well, I have evidence that not only are they hiding [Benghazi information], there is an intent to hide it," Trey Gowdy said of the Obama White House during a Friday interview on Fox News. "I can’t disclose that evidence yet, but I have evidence that there was a systematic, intentional decision to withhold certain documents from Congress."

Don't expect the Republicans to be doing anything for the next 6 months other than continuously threatening Impeachment.

"Why wouldn’t we impeach this president for not protecting and defending Americans in the bloodbath, known as Benghazi? … This dereliction of duty as commander in chief demands your impeachment." - Jeanine Pirro on Faux News.

Why wouldn't we Impeach a President for not protecting and defending Americans??? Thousands of Americans murdered in the World Trade Towers and a tens of thousands of Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen in Iraq killed and wounded wonder the same thing...

It's Okay unethical Congressman Peter Roskam You're a Republican

Republican Congressman Peter Roskam is under investigation for an Eight-Day $750,000+ Dollars* trip paid for by agents of the Taiwanese Government taken in 2011. Ostensibly, Roskam and his wife were there to visit his daughter.

Jesse Jackson Jr. just received a 30 month prison sentence.  Now, to be fair, there are differences between Peter Roskam and Jesse Jackson Jr.

See, Jesse is a Democrat and he's black, while Roskam is a Republican and white. 

Additionally, Roskam votes the Republican Party line of stealing from the Poor to give to the Rich, eliminating the Post Office and Federal Unions, destroying regulations which restrain the criminal behavior of Banks, and fervently supports the efforts of BP to befoul Lake Michigan with massive amounts of heavy metals and petrochemicals so don't expect right-wingers, Faux Morons and duped Conservatives to demand Roskam's removal from office and imprisonment. 

But, being unethical is nothing new for Peter Roskam.

In 2005, Roskam, ran afoul of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for failing to report his fundraising expenditures ($103,880) for the third quarter of 2005. Roskam's Campaign claimed it was an accounting error.

Roskam also received thousands of dollars from Convicted Criminal Tom DeLay's money laundering schemes. As Tom DeLay faced his charges Roskam voiced his support for the Convicted Criminal,

"These old accusations that are two and three and four years old is a little bit tiresome. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt." 04/22/05

"Knowing what I know now about what Tom DeLay's been accused of, my attitude would be to support him."

So, it's no surprise that Roskam is accepting dirty tainted money the only questions are How Much? and From Whom?

 The House Ethics Committee is set to rule on or about 09/11/13.

Hey it's Saturday where's my mail? The Republican Plan to eliminate the USPS

Thank You for all those Cards and Letters - Wun'erful, Wun'erful! The Lemon Sisters, Stan Freberg Comedy Show

The Republican Plan to eliminate the Post Office is proceeding very nicely. The US Postal Service declared they will be stopping mail delivery on Saturdays.

Now, Republicans do want to have a USPS but it would be a rump left to handle the unprofitable deliveries in Outer Wyoming and the Nevada Nuclear Waste Sites.

Incredibly lucrative mail routes, in Manhattan or along the Magnificent Mile in Downtown Chicago will be just handed over to UPS, FedEx, DHL and other private services. And as is their wont, those Corporations will slowly and surely turn the screws, raise prices and add delivery fees for letters which used to cost a stamp.

Gone will be the days when you could mail a post card from the Big Island to Chicago unless, you're willing to pay $20 USC for the privilege of having your mail carried by FedEx.

Privatize, Deregulate and Cede control to Corporations.

Of course, the Republicans plan is to destroy the Postal Workers Union because of the Unions strength and the solid Middle Class opportunities provided by a job with the USPS. 

Republicans loathe the Middle Class. A Middle Class is a hamper to their political power and proves to fickle for the Plutocracy to control. Republican political maneuvers are directed by their Plutocratic Masters to end the American Dream and bring about a Neo-Feudalist Dream State. As John Nichols of The Nation points out Postal cuts are Austerity on Steroids.

What the Plutocracy wants is a pliant work force with no disposable income. And they aren't disguising their actions, otherwise they wouldn't have run one of the scions, Le Dauphin of Bain Capital W. Mitt Romney for President in 2012.

It's a multi-pronged effort to steal away capital from the Middle and Working Classes. Every Republican tax scheme ends up increasing taxes on the Middle and Working Classes (while decreasing them on the Rich) and slashing government benefits for the American people.

And now by steadily eroding the Post Office (and it's Jobs) and sending that work to cutthroat Capitalists who'll pay less, disband Unions and raise prices the Republicans will cede more and more of your life to Corporate Hegemony.

It's all part of the plan to tie up your meager income so that at the end of the year, you've gained Nothing and are treading water, forever doomed to an endless life of labor, while the Upper 1% see their wealth spiral exponentially higher and higher.

Update:

A working mom could work overtime this month and use it as time off next month without having to worry about whether she’ll be able to take home enough money to pay the rent. 

- Republican Eric Cantor explains to the American Enterprise Institute on 02/05/13 how to get Working Class people to vote for their subjugation to the Republican Neo-Feudalist state. Additionally, there's a nice undercurrent of "the Nightmare" of the last couple of years that President Obama and his *cough* black *cough* Thugs have just ruined America!

Why would any poor person vote for a Republican? (Update: Romney economy will be W 2.0)

"What they [the Poor] lack is the richness of spirit." - Stuart Varney, Faux News.

The greatest coup by the Republican Party of the last 30 years has been getting poor people to vote against their economic self-interest. And Republicans are at it again, proclaiming that while Taxes on Millionaires and Billionaires need to be reduced, taxes on Poor People need to be raised. Or as the Right-Wing parlance would have it, broaden the tax base.

First of all, the Republican Party has always campaigned that taxes need to be lowered and that it's your money so the more you get back the better. Ah, but that changed after the George W(orst President Ever) Bush/Republican Recession and the convoluted byzantine tax code started including deductions that aided working class people and the poorest Americans instead of just for the Rich and Powerful. Then once Poor people started catching a break Republicans weren't going to stand for that!

All of a sudden the profligate spending Republicans couldn't squeeze the Poorest Americans to pay for their mooching Corporate Welfare ways because the Poor were not paying their fair share of taxes! Talk about your Class Warfare. Republicans began a blitz of propaganda that, depending upon which Republican you were listening to, 45% or 47% or 49% or 51% or whatever number they found convenient to demagogue about, weren't paying any taxes!

Republicans were quickly called out for their lies and so they tweaked their talking points to mean Federal Income taxes.

"Part of the problem is today, only 53 percent pay any federal income tax at all; 47 percent pay nothing. We need to broaden the base so that everybody pays something, even if it's a dollar. Everyone should pay something, because we all benefit." -Michele Bachmann.

"We're dismayed nearly half of all Americans don't even pay any income tax." - Rick Perry

"I think it's abysmal that 51% pay no income taxes..." - Orrin Hatch.

Republican Eric Cantor recently reiterated the tired Republicon talking point, "We also know that over 45 percent of the people in this country don’t pay income taxes at all, and we have to question whether that’s fair", "should we broaden the base" and "you’ve got to discuss that issue."

Of course, this is standard Republican nonsense. But, wow it really highlights the Republican Class Warfare. After 30 years of Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics and the Effects of the Bush Republican Recession hard-working people are too poor to pay Federal Income Taxes but, as Len Burman pointed out, 82 percent of them pay more payroll tax than income tax. They also pay federal excise taxes on gasoline, beer, wine, liquor, tires, and cigarettes. As well as, state and local taxes. But the Poor are, as the Wall Street Journal once branded them, the "Lucky Duckies". According to Timothy Noah,

A new report by Citizens For Tax Justice, a labor-funded nonprofit with a reputation for dispassionate economic analysis, lays this out. When you factor in all state and local taxes, the bottom fifth (i.e. people earning, on average, about $13,000) pays on average an effective tax rate of about 17 percent. When you do the same for the top one percent (i.e. people earning, on average, about $1.4 million) the average effective tax rate is 29 percent.

Well, President Mitt "I'm not concerned about the very poor" Romney will fix all that! Under GOP Nominee Mitt Romney's Tax Plan raises taxes on those "Luck Duckies"!

Under the Romney Plan Americans making under $20,000 a year would see their taxes go up an average of $149 dollars. American making under $40,000 would reap an average savings of... $97 dollars! Ah, but the Top 0.1%? Those around $3,000,000 in income, under Romney's Plan, would stuff an average of $725,000 right back in their pockets.

Just like when you hear a Republican talk about Shared Sacrifice, [See my post: The Republican Party's notions of Shared Sacrifice] when Republicans and conservative think tanks start talking about broadening the tax base they mean to bend and break the backs of the poor to support the massive tax cuts of the Wealthy elites upon their now broadened backs.

Update:
Alexandra Franceschi the Specialty Media Press Secretary of the Republican National Committee, admitted Mitt Romney’s economic policies are the George W(orst President in History) Bush economic plan just updated.

Here's some of Bush's economic legacy:

- Median Income declined outright from 1999 to 2009.
- From 1960 to 2000, manufacturing accounted for 20 million jobs in the U.S. since 2000 we've lost a 1/3rd of those jobs.
- Two-thirds of the nation’s total income gains from 2002 to 2007 flowed to the top 1 percent of U.S. households, and that top 1 percent held a larger share of income in 2007 than at any time since 1928.
- And even in during Bush's Biggest Recession Year of 2008, excluding capital gains, the top 1% saw their share of national income rise.

Koch Industries and the Exxon-Mobile funded Heritage Foundation rabidly cheered and promoted the Bush Tax Cuts. The Heritage Foundation's 2001 report proclaimed if the Bush tax cut legislation were to pass, it would:

1) Effectively pay off the federal debt;
2) Reduce the federal surplus by $1.4 trillion;
3) Substantially increase family income;
4) Save the entire Social Security surplus;
5) Increase personal savings;
6) Create more job opportunities.

Everyone of those claims was a deliberate lie to sell the tax cuts to the middle class as a job creator and deficit reducer. None of these claims occurred. But, what did occur was a massive transfer of wealth to the Ultra-Wealthy, which were the true goals of the Bush Tax Cuts and part of the Republican plan all along.

And President Bush himself, lamented his greatest failure in office was he wasn't able to Privatize Social Security.

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!]

Republicans think 99% of Humanity is Disposable

The fight over abortion, contraception, Medicare, Social Security, Wealth Inequality can all be summed up easily:

To the Republican Party the 99% are nothing more than interchangeable parts to be used in the gears of Industry and War and to be disposed of when broken by those Monsters.

You, Mister or Miss Average American, are nothing but a fresh body to be plugged into the system. When you can't do the job anymore you are not worth anything to the Republican Party and Plutocratic Lords they serve.

This is why they don't want you educated. This is why they want women trapped in the cycle of childbirth. This is why the are constantly trying to eliminate Medicare. This is why they are always trying to take away Voting Rights. This is why the undercut and destroy Labor Unions. This is why the constantly want to steal Social Security.

The whole goal is to get as many people into the Capitalist system, train them just enough to haul trash, input data, pull a trigger or sweep and mop a floor. But, when you can't do those things anymore or can't give birth to another generation...

The Republican Party sees all humanity as nothing more than a giant pool of labor. To be used and abused when young and healthy and cast aside when old, sick or broken.

Here are just some of the evidence:

Senator Mike Lee of Utah ran in 2010 on repealing Child Labor Laws. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gringrich echoed his sentiments by declaring, "Child labor laws are truly stupid" and a plan to "get rid of unionized janitors and pay local students to take care of the school."

Education has always been a bane to Republicans because once people, especially women, are educated they overwhelming reject conservatism and Right-Wing thinking.

Lost amongst the odious Racist Limpballs repeated sexual harassment and misogynistic assaults on Sandra Fluke was he continued on other women and vented his anger on "Overeducated single white females". Educated women scare and infuriate Limbaugh because they can see through his shallow pleas to to the Patriarchy and Oppression.

Rick Santorum thought he was scoring points with conservative voters when he smugly stated,

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.”

But, that was merely a play to anti-Elitism. His real fear are educated Americans. On President Obama’s efforts to boost college attendance, Santorum warned his supporters about higher education,

“because they're indoctrination mills, absolutely … The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country.”

Of course, attacking education as away to further the Oppression of Women hasn't been confined to merely Limpballs 20 year defamation of educated women as "Feminazis". Republicans are using the power of Government to pass laws to restrict and shame any woman who dares buck the power of the Right-Wing Patriarchy.

Multiple Republican controlled state Legislatures, have decided and passed degrading State-Sponsored Trasnvaginal Ultrasound Laws, or to be more accurate State-Enforced Slut-Shaming Rape Wand Laws. The Key Leader of this has been Virginia and Republican Governor Bob McDonnell but such "Laws" have spread to multiple states.

But, not to just limit themselves to "Ultrasound Opportunity Acts" Republicans have begun an assault on contraception and the sexual behavior of all Americans as well.

The Republican Totalitarian Assault on America doesn't just target children and women but is also focused on rolling back hard won gains for all American workers. Republicans take aim at dismantling Unions because Unions give Americans a fighting shot at earning a good, living wage with benefits instead of being held at the whims of the 1% and their cut-throat Capitalism.

The soon to be recalled Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker never mentioned Unions prior to being elected but after winning struck right at Unions (while sparring others in an attempt to divide and conquer) while sneaking State funds and State-controlled utilities to the Koch Brothers who are bankrolling him.

Several other Republican Governors Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Paul LePage of Maine, John Kasich of Ohio and Rick Snyder of Michigan joined the Crusade and created budgets which placed the burden of Government onto the backs of working and middle class Americans while stripping Unions of Rights all in an effort to reduce the standard of living for Americans and make them wage slaves to Corporate Monsters.

Besides gutting and dismantling Unions, Republicans work to reduce the standard of living of 99% of Americans by their constant restructuring of the Tax Code. Republicans tinkering isn't designed to make it easier or more comprehensible for the 99% but, to make it byzantine and laden with special tax cheats for the 1%.

The elimination of Security and Exchange Tax and deregulation of Wall Street lead to the George W(orst President Ever) Bush Recession, but the dropping of the Capital Gains/Deferred Compensation tax rate to 15% allowed the Richest Americans to accelerate their control over the Wealth of the Nation. So much so, that in 2010 93 percent of income gains went to the top 1 percent.

But, even though Mitt Romney, Nominee of the 1%, paid a tax rate of 13.9% on his income of $21.6 Million dollars, Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh and Newt Gingrich (again) think that rate is too high. They both want Capital Gains taxes to be ZERO and for Mitt and all the Vulture Capitalist to take home all the money they make on firing Americans and closing American factories.

Additonally, the entire deabte over Obama Healthcare Insurance Reform centered around Republicans opposition to letting Americans enjoy a modicum of decent healthcare in their old age. Congressman Paul Ryan when he's not out being wined and dined by Billionaire Hedge Fund Vultures, created a program he calls New Medicare, the goal of which is the destruction of Medicare and it's replacement by a system of capped and limited payouts for medical coverage.

Even though Social Security, as it is currently structured, will be able to pay out until 2037 and is not causing the deficits, Republicans have been claiming for 70 years it's on the verge of bankruptcy. Their dire predictions, like those of Armageddon is at Hand Preachers, all fail but that doesn't stop them from repeating them at every opportunity.

Back in 2010, Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn ominously declared, "My colleagues celebrate this day as being like the day when Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid were passed. They forget that today those programs are insolvent and will likely crush our children under their debt"

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who never met a bribe he didn't like, declared Social Security is "a Ponzi scheme".

The only scheme going on involving Social Security is the Republican Plan to steal those funds and funnel them into Wall Street, where the 1% can apply the Free Market to them and they'll vanish into the Plutocrats off-shore bank accounts.

I could go on like this and highlight Indiana Congressman Rick Morris violently stupid, arrogantly uninformed, insulting attack on the Girl Scouts of America when he wrote a memo to his friends in the 112th Congress,

"I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. The Girl Scouts of America and their worldwide partner, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), have entered into a close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood. You will not find evidence of this on the GSA/WAGGGS website—in fact, the websites of these two organizations explicitly deny funding Planned Parenthood."

This is your Republican Party America. You may think these are just crazies infecting the Party but, it isn't it's part of their goal of reducing the American People to the Status of third-world Wage Slaves, while the Republicans act as the Guard Dogs and Protectors of the 1%.

Governor Chris Christie tell New Jersey to Go Fug themselves

Never missed a meal, puffy faced Republican hero Chris Christie has a message for his constituents in New Jersey, Fug off and dig yourselves out of the snow!

“If someone is snowed into their house, that’s not our responsibility,” Christie said.

If people of New Jersey were rich and important like Christie they'd be smart enough to galavant down to Florida, on the taxpayer dime for a vacation just like he did.

Republicans believe that all Governmental functions are socialism, especially if they aid working class and poor people. And whenever they get caught revelling in their hatred for regular Americans they attack as Christie often does.

But, like all Republicans Christie is a blatant janus-faced hypocrite who out of one side of his mouth blasts the Federal Government for spending while at the same time requesting Federal dollars for his state, by seeking disaster relief from the US Government.

Snow Plowing is Socialism! And here is George Will, who has never done an honest day's work, blaming Unions for the response. And what is his source for this "theory" the Rupert Murdoch controlled New York Post and 3 anonymous sources as evidence. Because to conservatives everything is an opportunity to attack Labor and to weaken the Middle Class in pursuit of the defense of the Rich.

Do you Miss them, yet? Never Forget Republicans were in Charge

On the day America suffered the worst attack in our History, except for when Republican Heroes were killing Americans during the Civil War, what was the focus for the Republican led Congress and President George W. Bush?

Well, Phil Gramm, along with Republicans Jim Leach and Thomas Bliley had successfully repealed the Glass-Steagall Act removing a check on the rapacious Banking Industry and Republicans were figuring out how to shift even more of the Federal Tax burden to the Middle Class and Poor.

And while George Bush would sign any Legislation that would shelter his Base and Moneyed Masters from supporting the Nation, W was busy trying to figure out a way to invade Iraq. On January 30, 2001 George W. Bush directs Rumsfeld and JCS chairman Hugh Shelton to examine military options for Iraq.

America knew this in 2004, when Paul O'Neil spoke out in January 2004.

"From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go,” says O’Neill, who adds that going after Saddam was topic "A" 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11. "It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying ‘Go find me a way to do this,’" says O’Neill.

But Republicans of that Time were using the attacks of 9/11 to call anyone who questioned Bush and Cheney Terrorist Supporters and Traitors.

The Bush administration was well along the path to war before the 9/11 attacks. September 11 was not the motivation for the U.S. invasion of Iraq – it was a distraction from it.

9/11 and the Iraq War are enough to make The Bush/Cheney Regime the Worst in American History. But when you add on Torture, the Republican Recession, the blind eye to millions of EPA violations, the never explained nearly $5-a-gallon gas during Bush's Presidency and the Bush Regime pushed through TARP, a Bankers dream, wherein another Trillion in American taxpayer debt was grotesquely funneled directly to aid the Rich as a last Bushian Fuck You to the people... Well, what you have in George Bush and Dick Cheney are, perhaps, the two people who have done the most damage to America with the exception of Conservative Heroes Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis and Emperor Hirohito, Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden.

The Wicked Conservative Witch of the East, Christine O'Donnell

"They always win," he said softly and bitterly after a while. "The bastards, they always bloody win." - The Dogs of War, Fredrick Forsyth.

The Sarah Palin of the East, Christine O'Donnell, is spectacular. Her views and beliefs are so lacking in understanding, so ignorant, so uninformed, so religiously warped as to require years of psychiatric counseling. But, as is their wont the Republicans merely desire another vote no matter the lack of substance. However, O'Donnell is a thief. She's used campaign funds for personal benefit and expenses, just like her idol the Queen Wicked Conservative Witch Sarah Palin. But It's Okay she's a Republican!



O'Donnell not only has the lack of ethics and criminal past like Sarah Palin, she has the vacant look and stilted speech patterns of the Cadre of Conservative Wicked Witches Palin, Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Virginia Foxx and Sharon Angle. Palin and Bachmann, most likely, with their mangled words, choppy deliveries and inability to process language, have learning disabilities and it's a testament to the ability of public school teachers that they manage to operate.

And the Queen Wicked Witch of the North Sarah Palin has advised her nominal protege to only speak through Fox News. And why not? Fox is a one-stop shop in which Conservatives can receive a salary, softball interviews and as much time as needed to expound their scripted anti-Middle Class, anti-Poor Plutocratic Talking Points.

But, despite all the rigamarole the Tea Party is nothing more than an attempt to quicken the Republican Party. It's controlled by the same Republican Operatives and it's fueled by the same agenda as it has been for the last 80 years. The telling and salient point is the clear fact that almost every Tea Party candidate are lawyers or career politicians who have never had a real job and have never done a day's worth of real labor.

Here in Illinois the 8th District Tea Party nominee is William "Joe" Walsh running against somewhat Democrat Melissa Bean. Walsh is a teacher (+1) and has worked helping disadvantaged children in Chicago (+1) but has morphed into a career politician having run for office in 1996 and 1998. Back in the 90's, he attempted to distance himself from his Colonial Master Newt Gingrich and the 1994 Republican Bigots by claiming to be socially liberal and fiscally conservative. But, all of sudden now he's troubled by Government and Walsh has joined and proudly acknowledges the Tea Party so either his claims of being socially liberal were a lie then or now. Joe Walsh also has some shady background aspects as his Illinois Driver's License has been suspended at least once.

It's the same with Christine O'Donnell. She has run for office over and over and over. And she has said things either for shock value "blood soaked satanic altar" or to buttress her bigoted intolerant christian dominionist beliefs. But, the Teabaggers are dupes, imbeciles and hypocrites.

IOKIYAR. And so it goes...

Of the Tea Party candidates who spoke at the 2010 CPAC, Marco Rubio a favorite Tea bagger went into politics as soon as he was done with law school. Tim Pawlenty, the beloved Dark Horse Republican candidate for President, has had a Government job since 1988. So according to Tea Bag logic he's been unemployed for 22 years since the Government doesn't create jobs. And isn't the lack of military service and being a DC Lawyer and career politician what the Tea Party claims is wrong with Democrats and Washington DC?

And so it goes... the Tea Baggers are being used by the Republicans. Certainly they will make inroads and get a few maybe even several dozen candidates elected for a term or three but it will all end the same. The Republicans will hem and haw push an occasional social issue to the forefront but never get around to outlawing gay marriage or abortions while ensuring the Agenda of the Koch Brothers and the Other Moneyed Masters of the Nation dominates and destroys the Working and Middle Class.

And so it goes...

Election Game Plan

RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!! - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The Republican Game Plan for the 2010 elections is to simply run away and hide from all interviews and dodge reporters. It's understandable when a reporter actually confronts them on their ridiculous assertions, untenable ideologies and blatant conservative lies, misrepresentations and smears Republican candidates look foolish, ignorant or dangerous.



And this isn't limited to colossal dunderheads like Jan Brewer, Rand Paul, Sharron Angle and Michele Bachmann.

So the immediate question is if you can't stand up to Katie Couric and the Lame Stream Media how are you going to defeat Al Qaeda?

Republicans have no plan to govern the Nation. None. For the next two years Republicans are going to conduct investigations of President Obama asking him if he now is or has ever been a communist while they purposefully undercut and ignore any Governmental body which would hamper the Republican Plutocratic Corporate Controllers efforts to murder American workers, despoil the environment, and transfer billions to offshore and Swiss bank accounts. After 2 years of allowing Americans to suffer they then hope to Ride the Wave of Government Doesn't Work and the Free Market does Everything Better into full power in 2012.

Republicans then will continue their Plutocratic Tea Baggers plans by stealing social security, eliminating "Obamacare" and then Medicare, increasing the retirement age to 70 or beyond while pitting the worse off worker against the slightly better off one in order to enslave and shackle the American People as Cogs in the machines of Industry and War, paid little, with no benefits, no health coverage and no retirement.

Republicans want you to work hard in the flower of your Youth and then Die Quickly when you've gotten old or injured. (See Republican former Senator Alan Simpson and George W. Bush Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness David S. Chu bemoaning injured Veterans getting Health Care.)

And the ultimate goal of the Koch Brothers and the other Plutocratic Assholes who give Billions to the Republicans, is an American Feudal Despotic Oligarchy where the Poor are reduced to destitute serfs and the Middle Class are Poor.

John Galt never cried even when he was being Water Boarded (i.e. tortured). Galt not only had the wherewithal to retain his thought processes he used them to cause the torturers to flee in terror.

But Rand Paul hasn't even "won" a general election and he's already crying about the Liberal Media Talking to him.

How is Rand Paul going to battle Al Qaeda when a Rachel Maddow confrontation leaves him blubbering and sputtering? How is Rand Paul going to destroy the Federal Reserve when MSNBC makes him cry and retreat?

Of course, Rand Paul is the perfect Ayn Rand Objectivist as he is a fake Doctor, who hates the common man, loves slavery and will work tireslessly to defend and enthrone Corporate Monsters as the Controllers of America.

The Party of The Absurd

Only you can set you free ~ Cult of Personality, Living Colour

It's been a rough few weeks since I last posted. In that time America has witnessed how Collective Insanity can destroy a political party as the Republicans have careened from the mere absurd into depths of pure malevolence.

The Republicans have shown themselves to be comprised of Violently Stupid, Actively Ignorant Racist Self Hating Homosexual Chicken Hawk Homophobes who are only to happy to work to defend the Plutocracy while oppressing and killing the rest of the World.

Republicans love to call their Treason, Patriotism and their Intolerant Religious Bigotry, Freedom as they feed their more and more insular and self deluded cultists their daily pablum of Insanity.

What the Republicans have been doing for decades is setting up a self-contained Narrative in which their Insane can Believe.

The Republicans lie with abandon because no matter what Glenn Beck, Sarah Plain, Racist Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and all the Toxic Commentators say is true becomes true to the Violently Stupid Conservative Troglodytes.

And it's not going to stop...

Somebody Drill George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Sarah Palin

“This is not a natural disaster, this is a man-made fucking catastrophe of epic proportions!” ~ John Goodman, Treme

Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney and George Bush love to have their hands coated in Blood and Oil. And when Blood and Oil can be spilled into the ocean due to their efforts to deregulate Oil Companies and do irreparable damage to a fragile ecosystem they smile.

Republicans really don't care if you die. Everyday more and more Americans learn the Republicans Message is: Fuck You and Fuck the World, Give Us Money.

This giant oil slick heading towards the NOLA coast is the direct result of the "Election" of never done a real days worth of work, Chicken Hawk Oil Barons George Bush and Dick Cheney. It's a direct result of Republicans 30 year plan of deregulation of government. It's a Stab-In-The-Back of the American People.

Last year the Republicans sent out Bobby Jindal to decry and scoff at 'Volcano Monitoring' and other wasteful environmental measures. Jindal is now requesting Government assistance with this Disaster. Being a Republican means never having to worry about Hypocrisy. Republicans and Conservatives love to blame government for everything and ensure any government plan to aid the unfortunate in America is slashed but whenever a rich man's portfolio loses 20%, Republicans are there with the bailout and disaster relief.

And American workers died when the rig exploded. Dick Cheney's Halliburton continues to make money off of the blood of dead Americans just the way Dick Cheney wants it. And you betcha, Sarah Palin wants American workers to die horribly, cold and alone in the black oil coated waters of the Gulf, so she can Drill Baby Drill.

But, conservative troglodytes would have you believe Businesses have your best interests at heart. They don't. To Republicans and Corporations the American worker is a cost overrun. American workers demand things like a living wage and safe work environments and the chance to go home at night with all their limbs.

But ecological disasters and dead Americans are what you get when Republicans get elected to office.

Capitalism is...

American Capitalism is Socialism for the Rich.

The Republican Party has been groomed for one purpose in America, to defend the Plutocratic controllers of the Nation. To grind Americans (and the world) down for the enrichment of the Elites who craft policy, gin up wars and divide America. The Republicans have for years employed both crude and insidious techniques to deceive their voting base into sacrificing themselves on the Altar of the Rich. And they continue to do so today.

Republicans have always used Terrorism and Aggression against Americans, be it outright murder of political dissidents or the crafting of laws to criminalize human behavior and thereby placing the American people at odds with Law Enforcement while they get away with all forms of Debauchery, the Theft of Trillions and Murder.

What President Obama's election has done (despite the disappointment in him from many Progressives) is lay bare the Republicans' Class Warfare.

President Obama's calm cool collected demeanor and constant outreach is making the Republicans stand up for the Plutocratic Elite and vote against the American People and the American people can see it. The American people were overwhelming in favor of Health Reform and what did the Punk Ass Bitches Republicans and their Conservative Troglodytes do? They lied and threatened violence. Stalwart Republican values, Deception and Terrorism.

Now the American people want Banking Reform and who stands with the Wall Street Thieves and against Main Street Americans? The Republicans. The Republicans will not let Congress and President Obama endanger the institutional Thievery which the Republican Party was created to cement into law and protect at all costs.

This is fortunate because since the Reign of Chickenhawk Reagan the Republicans have gotten away with their anti-human plans of financial deregulation to destroy and Impoverish the American Middle Class. Because the Klepotcrats in America who control the Republicans want all American workers ground down to the level of the powerless in Indonesia or Guatemala. Republicans want Americans to work and die once their "productive" years are done.

Ask yourself: Who wanted to roll Social Security into Wall Street? The Republicans. Why? So Wall Street could steal those funds as well. Who during the midst of the Bush/Cheney Depression wanted to destroy Social Security and Medicare? Michele Bachmann and the Republicans. Why? Because Michele Bachmann wants Americans to die when they get old.

Republicans act as the attack dogs for the Wealthy and their conservative slime merchants gleefully absorb the message and willfully propagate it to delude themselves and others.

How do the Republicans get away with their anti-human plans? They've done an excellent job of dividing Americans by religion and race and by non-stop lying.

For years the demographics allowed Republican victories but now more and more Americans are aware there is a club and 99% of the American People aren't in it. The American People have seen that the Republicans serve a gaggle of Kleptocrats who view their supporters as nothing more than paving stones for their luxuries.

But the coast has already shifted. Republicans have lost the popular vote in 4 of the last 5 Presidential Elections and 2012 is going to be no different, another Republican defeat. In the years between expect an unceasing torrent of lies and calls for violence.

Republican Political Correctness

Republicans, Conservative Troglodytes, and their Vomit Tongued Toxic Commentators love to paint all Liberals as Terrorist Loving Marxists. Usually making their mouth breathing followers imagine every liberal is a amalgamation of Saul Alinsky, Code Pink, Bill Ayers and Leon Trotsky.

It's a deception. It's merely part of the Republican Party Platform. Lie every day about everything no matter how transparent, no matter how unsubstantiated, no matter how evil.

But, when the clear results of Republican policies are highlighted, as recently in the case of the evil and odious Don Blankenship, global warming denier and Right Wing Champion of Deregulation and less government intrusion into Business, Republicans become unhinged and bristle with false umbrage. Deaf, dumb and blind is what conservatives would like to remain when shown the results of 30 years of Republican policies; the destruction of the middle class, the theft of Trillions of dollars, the murder of American service men, the murder of American workers, the underfunding and destruction of (MSHA, OSHA, FDA, EPA) and any other organization (ACORN) which impedes the Republican Party platforms of deception, theft, oppression, rape and murder in the service of the Plutocratic Elite.

Perhaps it's willful ignorance which allows Republicans to implement policies which harm Americans.

Or perhaps Republicans merely hate America. Merely hate the concept, hate when the government allievates the crushing of the poor, which is why they fought Health Care Reform and supported Insurance Companies right to kill Americans, and are now fighting Financial Reform and support Mega-Banking Wall Street Firms right to Steal Trillions of Dollars from Americans.

What Republicans want, as blatantly highlighted in the Citizens United SCOTUS decision, is a Kleptocratic Oligarchy in which they control government and the government destroys unions, invades countries to kill the inhabitants and steal their wealth, and keeps the American people in the status of wage slaves and Katrina survivors, grinding 95% of the country into serfdom while they claim to defend the very ideals they blissfully destroy.

Who Will Conservative Terrorists Murder Next?

I want Americans Armed and Dangerous. ~ Michelle Bachmann

We have a chance to fight this battle at the Ballot Box before we have to resort to the Bullet Box. ~ Catherine Crabill, in recognition of the Tea Parties

Because he will slowly but surely take away your gun or take away your ability to shoot a gun, carry a gun. ~ Glenn Beck

Those crazies in Montana who say, 'We're going to kill ATF agents because the UN's going to take over' -- well, they're beginning to have a case. ~ Dick Morris

The incidents of Conservative Terrorism are rising. Conservative Terrorists have absorbed and become infested with the vile blather spewing forth from Beck, from their elected Republicans, from the tawdry and brazen Michelle Malkin and her ilk the Right Wing Extremist Blogs and have decided to take out their anger on Government officials.

But, whom do these Conservative Terrorists attack? Low level Government workers, museum guards and police officers. They don't lash out at the Glenn Beck Marxists who infest the upper levels of Government. No they kill and shoot those who Howard Zinn pointed out are the Guards for the Establishment the 1% who control the Wealth of the Nation and turn the other 99% on ourselves.

Why?

Mostly because they are mentally unbalanced but they became unhinged because the Evil Shit Smeared Toxic Commentators Malkin, Coulter, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Fox News and Republican Politicians have worked ceaselessly to warp their minds and to make them Terrorists. Because that's what Conservatives want. Conservatives want terrorism and violence, they want to instill fear in Americans, they want violent shootings, Conservatives want Americans murdered, they want to destabilize the American Government in order so they can then regain control of that Government.

Conservatives are Terrorists.

Paul Krugman steals from my Blog!

Darn that Paul Krugman he took an idea of mine and crafted a column for which he was paid 2.6 million dollars by ACORN.

The Senate becomes a Polish Joke:

And now Senator Richard Shelby has placed a hold on — are you seated — all, all, Obama administration nominees, until he gets some pork for Alabama.

What’s going on? The Senate has rules based on the idea that it was a chamber of gentlemen who would find ways to work together. But now, 41 Senators belong to a party that has no interest in a working government, no desire to work with the majority in good faith.

There’s a precedent for all this. In effect, we’ve now become 17th-century Poland.

Well, here's what I wrote last year, Turning the US Congress in the Sejm, referencing The Golden Freedom:

The Golden Freedom, which the magnates defended with every bit of chicanery and power they commanded, was the freedom of the few to oppress the many... ~ James A. Michener's, Poland

In the novel Poland, Michener describes how the "incredible liberum veto, by which one man in a Seym (parliament) of hundreds could negate and prorogue the entire work of the Seym by merely crying 'I oppose!' was a major cause of Poland's disapperance from the map of Europe".

This isn't even symbolic of the "debate" over Healthcare Reform today. Because, the Republicans are moving towards a Liberum Veto of their own, they call it "Bipartisanship", by declaring 51 votes in the Senate is unacceptable, the filibuster 60 is not enough and the total should be 75-80 to pass Healthcare Reform.

Why? They Object! Not that they object to Government run health care, that's what every member in Congress enjoys, a lifetime of tax payer funded care by the best physicians and hospitals in the Nation. No they object because much like in Michener's novel a group is using them to block reform. Because that reform will diminish the huge profits made off of denying care to Un-Real Americans.

Richard Shelby who has used American Money to court and invite Foreign Run Corporations into the United States and has set himself up as a Medieval Polish Aristocrat Objects! He's got a clenched fist full of foreign money jammed up his ass for whom he will hurt the United States and the American People. But, it doesn't matter to the entitled Republicans, the lives and welfare of the American People fall short to their Prime Goal: Mission Accomplishment; that Mission being the enrichment of themselves, their cronies and the Corporate Masters whom they dutifully serve.

When The One Stood Against Many

"No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that The One stood against many. That's what's important!" ~ Adapted from the Masterpiece, Conan the Barbarian (1982).

And just like Conan, President Obama slaughtered them.

With poise, grace, wit, charm, forcefulness and truth, President Obama, like a Kensei, confronted the entire "elite" of the Republican Party one after another and without so much as a single 3"x 5" notecard dismantled their birtherite America hating talking points. It was a masterful display and one that most Liberals thought we would get from President Obama when we voted him in. Yes!

Yeah, Glenn Beck I know History

To the Polish government in London the British appeared singularly ungenerous towards their Allies. American politicians did not inform the Poles that they were putting pressure on the British not to enter into excessively binding agreements with the emigre governments. The Poles were allowed to assume that America was Poland's friend and supporters, whereas Britain was not. ~ Britain and Poland 1939-1943: The Betrayed Ally, Anita Prazmowska pg. 88-89.

As an American (of primarily Polish descent) I know something about the History of Nazism and Communism. Glenn Beck knows nothing of either. Or more correctly Glenn Beck knows nothing.

Beck's latest actively ignorant violently stupid crusade, with his chicken hawk, sunken chested, expansive midriff buddies Andrew Breitbart and Jonah Goldberg is to claim Hitler was a Progressive.

The Punk Ass Bitch Right's goal has always been to make their zombie-esque followers believe the Democrats are the Nazis and Soviets. They say it often enough. Not a bad plan when you realize the majority of the Americans who fervently listen to She Who Shall Not Be Named 1 and 2, Racist Limbaugh, Beck, Breitbart and Puffy Goldberg have never left home, have never served in the military, know nothing of real poverty and suffering and view liberals as more dangerous than terrorists because they were told so.

But, as most Americans don't know, Poland was left to it's own devices after the First World War and still defeated the Soviets, (The Miracle of the Vistula) when no government thought they had a chance against the Bolshevik tide.

During the Cold War Poland was never able to count on American help because McCarthy/Reagan rhetoric lumped them into the sphere of the Evil Empire. So, every American of Polish Descent knows America let the Poles languish during the entire Cold War. And of course, a drunk drug addict like Beck never shouldered a ruck during the Reagan years (Beck turned 18 in 1982) when war with the Soviet Union was an exceedingly slim but potential possibility.

But, now, from the safety of 20 years since the End of the USSR and a comfy producer's chair Beck is apoplectic on Communism. Real tough guy. But, dumb easily led Punk Ass Bitch conservatives like to believe they were responsible for the Destruction of the USSR by watching Red Dawn and Rambo III.

And so Liberals and Progressives will continue to be bombarded by inane buffoons declaring Nazis are Left because Socialist is in their "official" name, just like the Chicago Bears are actual Grizzlies because they have Bears in their team name.

Repeal It!

If You Can't Eat It Or Fuck It...
Then Kill It! ~ Sex and Violence, Carnivore (the predecessor to Type O Negative)

The Repeal It Pledge:

"I hereby pledge that if any federal health care takeover is passed in 2010, I will support - with my time, money, and vote - only candidates who pledge to support its repeal and replacement with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government."

And Republican Congress members and candidates have signed on. But, do you know what's not included in the Repeal It Pledge? Why Congress members immediate pledge to destroy The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. Amazing.

Sure, you poor slobs out there have to pay outrageous insurance premiums, have no choice in which company provides you with coverage, face loss of coverage at the whim of bureaucrats but the Republicans in Congress can choose a TAX PAYER FUNDED FEDERALLY RUN INSURANCE Program.

And Republicans in Congress not only get an inexpensive Federal plan but the following perks as well: individualized special treatment at federal medical facilities and access to their own pharmacy with doctors, nurses and medical technicians standing by in an office located between the House and Senate chambers.

So, why can't regular Americans enjoy the same treatment? Why do the Republicans in Government believe themselves to be a privileged aristocracy?

Well, the answer is simple Republicans Hate Americans and want them to Die. Republicans especially love when Americans die in service to The Republican Party or when Republicans advance into positions of power.
