Migrant Buses and the Government's inability to handle any Crisis - Part 1: Background

Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. - Exodus 22:21

"One-to-one problem, yes.  FIVE-to-one problem too much ask anyone," - The Karate Kid (1984)

As a massive blizzard descends upon Chicago and the stories coming out about the struggles migrant people are facing having been shipped to Northern Illinois by vile Republican human traffickers it's useful to understand a little of how we got here.

As Republicans continue to demonstrate on Capitol Hill, they have zero ability to respond to any real crisis.  Now, Republicans certainly have the ability to create crises such as when Tommy Tubberbrain decided he was going to use his Liberum Veto to personally hold up the promotions of senior military officers.  Or with the Republican led House continued inability to fund the government.  Or with the Republican circuses surrounding Hunter Biden, which demonstrates Republicans have no interest in governing but in merely grandstanding and using the awesome power government to go after anyone who threatens their power.

Republican governance consists solely of the hollowing out of the functions of Government and the creation of a Nation which has zero-margin for error when dealing with any crisis.  Now, this is partially because Republicans have said for decades that government doesn't work so it's imperative for them to prove that axiom true by undermining the government all the time.  Doing so under the a of a Democratic President is an added bonus of them being able to blame Barack or Biden for Republican perfidy.

Immigration is not a crisis it's not even a problem but, because of 40+ years of Republicans slashing the social safety net, of Republicans undermining the Nation's industry and foundation, of Republicans using social issues to undercut government programs and funnel taxpayer money into the hands of private business, the Government at local, State, and the Federal level seems unable to address it.

Republicans have hollowed out the concept of community.  Much like the dumb car culture in America, the creation of suburbs and exurbs has led to the atomization of thinking Americans have been brain-washed into thinking each of them and all of us are individual islands instead of a shared continent.  When you couple, Republicans mean-spirited social programs with ruinous Republicans economic theories and policies the majority of the American people are too focused on their own day-to-day struggles to try and help their fellow man.

Of course, Government was supposed to be the creation of people to collectively handle issues too big for any one man to handle themselves.  This is also the mytho-historical truth of the creation of the United States of America; from the Founding Fathers "Join, or Die" to Abraham Lincoln "In Union there is Strength" and is absolutely why Republicans do not want Civics or history taught to children anymore. 

The United States has been limping along on the bones of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and Works Progress Administration for decades now.  That evil slime Ronnie Raygun was hired by the Republican apparatchiks to slay the New Deal and make the idea of government toxic, which he successfully did.

One of his prime targets was the idea of government social services.   Raygun famously declared Social security was going bankrupt over 40 years ago a cry which Republicans echo til this day without anyone in the Corporate Media calling them out for their bullshit.

"As you know, the Social Security System is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy," Ronnie Raygun letter to Congress May 21st 1981.

Raygun also famously got his start by cutting a record for Chesterfield cigarettes calling Medicare and Medicaid "Socialism",

"One of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America... when men were free."

That scumbag Reagan damaged the country in so many ways but...  But!  He also granted amnesty to 11 million immigrants in a move no Republican today would tolerate and rightwing propagandists would call for the impeachment and the execution of any President DemocRAT who did.  (OH LOOK, Republicans are trying to bootstrap the term "Insurrection" because of the "8 Million" onto Joe Biden even if Missouri Attorney General Jay NEPO BABY Ashcroft couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground during an interview with CNN.

The basic facts are the Republican Party is completely uninterested in helping anyone; immigrants or American citizens.  The Republican Party does not believe the federal government should aid or help anyone; you are on your own.  The 40+ years of "compassionate conservatism" has been a cover the Party and the Media allies use to cover the awful truth of the Republican Party; a wholly Fascist Organization wedded to destroying the American dream and shackling the vast majority of the American People into perpetual corporate bondage and under the tyrannical thumb of christian fundamentalism. 

Multi-Millionaire Ron Johnson wants to steal your Social Security and donate that money to his campaign

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel does excellent work covering the perfidy and disingenuousness of Republicans.  Especially, the galling faux folksome populists of obscenely rich Millionaires who pretend to regular hardscrabble joes but are rapacious rich assholes who enrich themselves via taxpayer dollars.

The multi-millionaire Oshkosh Republican on May 3 repaid himself $400,000 for prior loans to his campaigns, according to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission. Those payments from his campaign account included$210,000 in loans to his 2010 campaign and $190,000 in loans he made to his 2016 campaign.

By the way this is totally legal as the Supremacist Court ruled in Ted Cruz's favor in 2022 that campaign donations belong to the candidate; Russia if you're listening...

Despicably at the same time Ron Johnson is sending out emails begging for campaign donations;

"I’ll get straight to the point: even though we won, my campaign had to take on some debt.  I was hoping I could convince you to chip in now to help me pay off this debt."

He has the utter gall, the absolute temerity to say this, during a July 12 Senate hearing on Social Security,

"When I talk to Wisconsinites, they just have a basic misperception about Social Security. I mean, I think this was originally sold as, okay, we are going to as a nanny state, we're going to make sure that you are gonna have money for retirement. So we're gonna extract wages or taxes from your wages and we're gonna set up an account for you so that we're going to save it for you for your retirement cause we don't trust you to save for yourself. So most people think, well, that's my money, and in fact, a part of it is. But as Senator Grassley was talking about, if you're in a low-income group, you're getting a lot more in return than you ever invested in."

"Again, on the lower end of the income scale, you're getting a lot more than what you paid in, if you're in the high income, you're not getting what you paid in. And wasn't that sort of the deal? This was not a general welfare system.  This was really designed, we're gonna make you save for your retirement and then you're gonna get back what you paid in." 

Rich assholes are absolutely incensed that a meager social safety net exists.  How dare you have the chance to not work yourself to death.  How dare you poor people get a little bit of money to retire and rest.  How dare you get a couple bucks more when you are old.  The! Rich! Want! That Fucking Money!  As soon as Republicans have enough control of the Federal Government they will raise the age for Social Security benefits, reduce the amount the Zoomers and Millenials can draw in their lifetime and ensconce other mechanisms into Law to ensure that one day very soon Social Security will be gone.  House sQueaker and Major Traitor Greene paramour Kevin McCarthy said this himself this week,

“This isn’t the end… We only got to look at 11% of the budget to find these cuts.  It’s Medicare, Social Security, interest on the debt.”

Bemoaning the Corporate Media is such a stupid very on-line hole I've dug myself into and yet here I am again, wondering why President Biden isn't being lauded for using the State of the Union to call out Republican Plans to Swindle Americans out of Social Security and why "Journalists" aren't apologizing for listening to Major Traitor Greene as she screamed "Liar" on the House Floor?

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is fabulously wealthy.  He and other Rich people are fed up with America.  Republicans are not only coming to steal social security, they are coming for everything won during the last 100 years.  Bodily autonomy, reproductive rights and freedom, worker safety, child labor laws, Republicans are fighting a War on all Americans to End the American Dream and reduce you to wage slavery and perpetual corporate bondage.

Republicans love Workers, especially when Republicans can work you to death

"You're a nice guy and I'm sure that you are a salt of the earth guy but since you asked, What I am supposed to do, go back to work at 67? No, you're not supposed to retire when you're 55. You sound to me like you are totally capable of still working. You got no business retiring at 55 IF you can't afford to retire. The American Dream is retire at 65. People are retiring now at 50 and 55 and so forth when they are still capable of working. According to the tables at 55, you've got 22 years left..."  Back in 2008, as Republicans were building up their racist tirades against President Obama, Racist Limbaugh laid out the pure hatred Republicans have for the American Dream and people retiring instead of working until they die.

Elitest scumbag Ted Cruz, who routinely spits on hard-working baristas, has been the most vocal voice in his nasal pitch proclaiming the Republican Party is now the party of the working man.

And Cruz is right.  The Republican Party does want you to work, from the time you are born right up until the time you die.  No prospect of retirement.  No relaxation.  No education.  No free time.  No union protections.  No, American Dream.  Because what Republicans want you to do is work from cradle too the grave.  

Senator Mike Lee, the descendant of a mass murdering Mormon War Criminal, explicitly ran on a platform of putting children too work saying federal "child labor laws are truly stupid" and of course on destroying social security, "It will be my objective, to phase out Social Security, to pull it up by the roots and get rid of it."

And having elected scumbag liar Sarah Suckabee Slanders as the Governor of Arkansas, Republicans have begun their slow and steady march to destroy child labor laws.  Governor SS Sanders signed into law the "Youth Hiring Act of 2023", removing protections for children under 16 being put to work without receiving clearance from the Arkansas Dept of Labor.  The underbelly of this law is immigrant children are going to be put to work instead of being able to receive any kind of education.  The hopes of the Republican Party is to create a permanent underclass of revolving immigrant children who come to the United States, with minimal education, don't get a chance to be educated here and then work themselves to death in a perpetual kind of second-class status sans protections from laws and Government. 

So, even while Republicans work via multiple avenues to ensure Americans work from 10-65 and then die, Republicans realize they have to pretend to be in favor of workers and still have to play up an imaginary Horatio Alger backstory for themselves so that the White Working Class continues to support them as "regular" guys.

For a long, long time Republicans have been allowed to get away with declaring they are something when their actions conclusively demonstrate they are not.  Thus, Republicans have had a 40 year run of proclaiming themselves to be staunch constitutionalists, die-hard patriots, and proponents of law & order when in reality Republicans denigrate and violate the Constitution at every opportunity, Republicans are traitors who have worked for decades to subvert and destroy the United States, and Republicans are rapists and criminals who treat laws as unenforceable guidelines.

Thus, Donald John Traitor Trump can claim to have received a small loan of $1,000,000 in the 1970's.

Elon Muscovite can claim to have come from modest beginnings with a family emerald mine worked by slaves.

Oklahoma stumblebum Markwayne Mullins, supreme anti-Union punk, claimed during a Senate hearing where he tried to burnish his Tough Guy credentials, that he "started with nothing, ab-so-lute-ly nothing, in fact I started below nothing".  Besides lying about what UPS drivers make, Mullin's father gave him his plumbing business.

A key thing to remember about the Republicans is they don't believe the vast majority of the American people or immigrants should ever "retire".  Certainly, Rich and moneyed types (Elon Musk...) can retire whenever they please.  But, the Republican Plan is and always has been to Work. You. To. Death.  This is why Republican hate Medicare.  This is why Republicans have tried in the past to eliminate Social Security and are still trying to eliminate Social Security today.  Republicans don't believe in a social safety net, no they believe in the dignity of work and the "freedom" for you to work from childhood right up until you die.  Preferably not on the job site.

Everybody hates Kevin (McCarthy) and Republicans hate America

This is a little harsh I don't hate the man.  Certainly, he's a spineless shameless sponge whose only ambition is too be Speaker of the House and he's politician of low cunning who is only making this play by aping more competent Republican villains. 

Additionally, McCarthy has the problem of flatly stating Republican machinations and doesn't possess the slightest skill at wrangling other members of his Party of Ghouls.

Recall McCarthy revealed he knew (and other Republicans knew too) that Trump (and Dana Rohrbacher) were being paid by Russia.

McCarthy went on to tell the press the Republican plan was to flog Benghazi to politically harm Hillary Clinton.  Sadly, this worked as the Corporate Media did it's job of amplifying and repeating Republican propaganda.

And as the January 6th committee was being formed, McCarthy made the disastrous decision to exclude Republicans from being on it thus allowing Liz Cheney and the Democratic Congresspersons the ability to really dig into the vast rightwing conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government on 01/06/21.

And even now, it's been clear and reported Kevin was willing to grovel and debase himself to the House Fascist Caucus offering so many unbelievable concessions those GQP nut jobs demanded absolute control in House and over him.  McCarthy's political skills being so weak his only tactic to win Speaker is to hold vote after voter after vote.  He's lost 6 votes for Speaker in two days with no signs of the Fascist Caucus weakening. 

In normal times and in a functioning Democratic Republic this would be a giant scandal and cause the collapse of the Republican Party but MAGA Republicans don't care.  In fact, a strong segment of the GQP is fine if the US House doesn't function at all for the next two years.  The Republicans have no vision, no agenda, no plan to help the American people, no policies, no platform.  Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.  And right now, they have no leadership either.  John Boehner couldn't corral and control the earlier iteration of Nihilists in Congress, McCarthy has no chance. So we're stuck with the direction less Republican controlled House for the next two years.

But, understand while the Republican Party has nothing resembling what any Patriotic American would call an agenda they are like a zombie horde; they plague the living and represent a real danger.  The Republican Party is an unserious conglomerate of bigots, fascists, criminals, thieves and terrorists.  So, they are a serious threat to the Nation.

Because Republicans plan on destroying the US Government and America and replacing these great United States with an unequal Nation with clear divisions along racial, religious, financial, and gender lines, where White Rich Christian Supremacy rules and everyone else is subject to the whim of Republican and Rightwing violence.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people; but a lot to offer Oil & Gas Companies

As President Biden, Senator Warren, and numerous other Democratic officials have noted; oil & gas companies are raking in record windfall profits on the backs of the American people.

“Oil companies. record profits today are not because of doing something new or innovative,” Biden said. “Their profits are a windfall of war, a windfall for the brutal conflict that’s ravaging Ukraine and hurting tens of millions of people around the globe.” 

Over the last two quarters, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, and TotalEnergy earned over $100 billion in profits—more than they earned all of last year, and more than two-and-a-half times what they earned in the same quarters of 2021.

For one thing, long range, these fossil fuel conglomerates realize the days of the internal combustion engine on personal motor vehicles is coming to a close and are looking to rake in as much as possible for as long as possible.  To that extent Republicans eagerly aid Republicans in fucking over the American consumer. 

Because Republicans provide Oil & Gas Companies a safety value of claiming the price of gas on Biden's War on Energy.   It would be ludicrous if it wasn't so indicative of the Fascist GOP plans to shackle every American in perpetual servitude to Big Companies while retarding all growth in the renewable energy sector as they've done decades.

Of course, Republicans have zero plans to relieve the pressure at the pump and are, most likely, relying on Oil Companies lowering prices in response to Republicans easing restrictions and regulations on drilling, dumping, polluting, and transferring all the costs of Oil extraction to the people while profits are safely secured in stock buybacks and bonuses.  It's the old privatize the profits and socialize the losses maneuver so-called Capitalists are famous for...  

To say nothing of the fact that many of the Multinational Oil Companies are really just extensions of their native Governments, including such repressive terrorist sponsoring regimes like Saudi Arabia.  And the arguments Republicans are feeding their Rightwing drones basically amounts to nationalizing Oil Companies so the President can dictate the price of gas.

President Biden and the Democratic House have passed Windfall Profits Tax on Oil & Gas Companies, and every Republican in the House voted against it.  The bill will not pass the Senate because zero Republicans in the Senate will support such a bill because Republicans ally and align with rapacious Oil Companies over the American citizen, all the time.  Biden has also released oil from the strategic reserve, pressured oil companies to increase production, while the Democrats in the Senate the Gas Prices Relief Act, stopping the excise tax on gasoline for 2022.

I recall Republican Congressman Joe Barton apologizing to BP executive Tony Hayward for the dastardly Obama War on Energy after BP destroyed the Gulf of Mexico with the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe,

"I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday. I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where anytime a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong is subject to some sort of political pressure, that is again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize." Texass Dick Pic Joe Barton

But, then what is painfully obvious, and has been so for decades, is the Republican Party hates America.  They hate a diverse and free America.  Everywhere we see Republicans shackling people, removing rights, eliminating options, demonizing Americans, and seeking to return to a Nation with a tiered system of citizenship.  Because that is what Republicans want; a NeoConfederate Slave Economy with rights conferred based on race, religion, and the size of your bank account.  Poor, black, women, queer need not apply; and to achieve this Republicans will side with whatever Foreign Power necessary and harm as many people as possible.

Mehmet Oz would be a terrible Senator. Here's why I'm voting for him. (Please don't. Instead vote for John Fetterman)

I've been filling out reminder post-cards for Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in an effort to pump up turnout for the upcoming US Senate races.  I'm absolutely convinced that elections in these hyper-partisan times are all about turnout and the Democratic Party can hopefully turn away from hunting for the semi-mythical undecided voter.

The Great Mass of Middle of the Road Swing Voters was a creation of the Corporate Media.  Of course, the Corporate Media has one task during election time and that is to aid Republicans in getting elected.

So, nothing shocks me about their navel-gazing antics and the bad faith pablum they spew.  Now, normally the go-to story for elections is #BothSidesDoIt allowing voters to say, oh both sides are immoral and bad therefore I'll vote for Republicans who are super-patriotic and great for the economy.  Of course, as I and others have laid out for years Republicans embody exactly none of the values they claim to espouse and are interested in gaining government power to create a Neo-Fascist American Slave Empire.

In addition, to the both sides do it bullshit, Corporate Media runs with; Democrats in Disarray (this has been a go to framing device for the attempted tear-down of President Biden's 1st two years), unending man-on-the-street pieces about What Conservatives think, and non-stop attempts to make GQP politicians into Statesmen with Today [insert name] Republican truly became a Great Man, (this is seen in the fawning praise for Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan) and any other number of Republicans the Media tries to elevate into serious political wonk status.

But, every so often a piece comes along which blatantly lays bare the unabashedly shameless role the Corporate Media has in elevating any and all unfit Republican slime merchants, as Gene Marks did in The Hill,

Marks goes on in the piece to point out OZ is unqualified, is vague or clueless on almost all topics, and would be terrible but, he'd be a Republican and that's what Marks wants.  Gene Marks wants it because workers have too much power in the economy right now and Marks wants Republicans to go back to the good days of crushing Unions, dismantling the social safety net, undermining labor protections, disempowering workers, and making Americans desperate enough to accept any and every job at a fraction of the earning potential.  Marks, of course, doesn't say it this way verbatim but, it's exactly what rightwingers always mean when they say this, 

The last month or so have been a blitz by Faux News and rightwingers on-line attempting to push Mehmet Oz into stealing distance of the Pennsylvania Senate election.  The shambling bloated corpse of Newt Gingrich was brought forth to run the moldy Reaganite Drugs and Blacks scare tactics by claiming Fetterman's tattoos were either an enticement to use Heroin or coded language used by the Crips.

And, of course, the despicable Oz and rightwing media have viciously gone after the health of John Fetterman claiming he's totally impaired from his stroke in May.  Just as the Corporate Media did in 2016 with HRC, they are going to uncritically push the Republican narrative of failing health for Fetterman.  NBC Dasha Bash eagerly catapulted the rightwing propaganda in her hit piece on Fetterman.

Fetterman's Campaign has brilliantly eviscerated out-of-touch, out-of-his-depth, elitist animal torturering Mehmet Oz at every turn and has laid bare how utterly depraved conservatives are because they don't care.  Conservative want the power of the House and Senate in 2022 because they already have the Sinister Six Supreme Injustices on the SCOTUS and with both they plan to steal the Presidency in 2024.

It's not just Traitor Trump. The entire Republican Party is owned by Russian pimps and gangsters

Okay... It's been known for a long time the Trump Crime Family has been laundering money for the Russian Oligarchs for decades and Trump himself has been a Russian asset since his first recruitment in the 1980's.

Because, Trump's stupidity and business failures left him without a source of funding the 1990's, but Trump has been is a mob-adjacent grifter for decades so it was natural he would find the the newest rising Criminal Syndicate and get himself in deep with Russian gangsters.

The recent arrests of Two Russian-backed Urkainian spies who had multiple "business" contracts with Trump, Traitor Tot Don Jr, Rudy Giuliani, Paul Manafort, Pete Sessions, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsay Graham, and other Republicans brings it all around. It wasn't only Trump who sold out his country for Russian roubles but The Entire Republican Party. 

Recall the Department of Justice and US Senate has declared the NRA was acting as an undeclared Russian-backed foreign agency funneling illicit Russian monies into the campaigns of numerous Republicans.

Now, forget this penetrating the bubble of the #MAGAt Horde they're unreachable and have been for a long time.

Instead what we are facing is the same dilemma which confounded many liberals and Democrats in 2016, can we use the apparatus of government to achieve justice? In reality, this has been the eternal problem facing the left for centuries; can the tools of the Master be used to dismantle the master's house?

Under FDR, Harry Truman, JFK, and LBJ the Democratic Party seemed to make advances using the power of the government to advance justice; consequently this when conservatives decided "Big Government" was the problem with America. As soon as Government could help alleviate the woes facing those who have traditionally been crushed under the Government, conservatives

Now, even though conservatives have hated Government since then, Republicans have not. Instead Republicans set about undermining protections and sharpening the elements of the Government which help them acquire and maintain power and which could be used to undo the Progressive gains of the 20th century. See for instance the bullshit narrative of Antonin Scalia and his "Orginalism" arguments.

Now, Republicans have been more than willing to destroy the American people in the quest to End the American dream and return the 99% to endless Wage Slavery and Eternal Corporate Bondage but, I did not think they would wholly sell out the Nation to their once most hated enemies. But, I admit I misunderestimated the Perfidy of the Republican Party.

2018 was the first steps in retaking the Nation from the rightwing terrorists and Republican traitors 2020 will be the turning point and place upon President Professor Elizabeth Warren the terrible task of bringing the Cadre of Conservative Criminals to justice.

The Deplorable Right-Wing Response to Heather Heyer's murder and the Conservative Domestic Terrorist gathering in Charlottesville is exactly as despicable as expected

Denial, Obfuscation, False Equivalency, Both Sides, and outright lying.

Disgraced war criminal Allen West wrote a column which included all the right-wing bugaboos designed to provide conservatives ammunition for their "Whataboutisms".  After starting his missive on the terrorist attack with a humble-brag of him receiving an award in Arizona.  The despicable West spent another two paragraphs referencing the beautiful scenery, Rahm Emmanuel, and BLM.  Eventually, West gets around to being very sad Heather Heyer was murdered by a right-wing terrorist and declares he wants James Alex Fields Jr. to be put to death.  Conservatives are more than willing to sacrifice a good soldier because he is just a pawn, in the right-wing efforts to dismiss this incident and move along with their agenda of intolerance and oppression.

No right-wing terrorist attack would be complete until the dumbest man on the internet, Jim Hoft the Gateway Pundit, immediately blaming THE LEFT and continuing his campaign of lies by declaring the driver was "An Anti-Trump Protestor" and "DUDE HIT THE WRONG CROWD".

Not to be outdone white power buffoon Chuck C. Johnson continued his track record of deranged lying and irresponsible "reporting" by conducting a VIN search of Dodge Challengers and then outing a Michigan man as being responsible, declaring him a "An Anti-Trump open borders druggie".

4Chan and other right-wing sites teased their rabid followers by declaring they had uncovered the true identity of the attacker, a leftist, outed his facebook page and tacitly instructed their drones to bombard him with the usual litany of misspelled death threats.

Ann Althouse decided it was too soon to know for sure if the white criminal in custody was the same person pictured in the white power riot.  Because white men are always just immature scamps not hard-core thugs like those people.  Not to be outdone, blog commentators parsed the video frame-by-frame exonerating the conservative criminal because every on-line right-wing blog commentator is a video analysis expert.

Alex Jones only salutes one flag and that is a False one.  But, the more despicable right-wing sites took it upon themselves to attack Heather Heyer using the typical conservative reaction of insulting, demeaning, and spitting upon the dead.  Using and abusing the dead is cornerstone upon which modern American Conservatism is built.

These lies serve a distinct purpose.  Right-Wingers craft multiple lies so that when one or two or more are debunked, discredited, or disproven another 10 conservative lies have take it's place.  It's a strategy that's worked in many propaganda endeavors the right has undertaken.

Couple this with the incessant attempts from "many sides" to adhere to the Both Sides Do It narrative, the right-wing mantra false equivalency (e.g. KKK and BLM are same) and then always, always, always declaring the suspect is actually a leftist, right-wing liars know some portion of the deluded and duped conservative base will never believe the truth.

And the Truth is Conservatism is Terrorism and Violence; The United States is faced with it's biggest threat since W(orst POTUS Ever) ignored DEEP STATE warnings Bin Laden planning to conduct terrorist attacks on U.S. Soil in August 2001; the growing cancer of conservative domestic terrorism is rapidly metastasizing into a massive tumor.  Everywhere on-line, on right-wing talk radio, plastered in newspaper opinion letters conservatives let it be known they have a yearning deep down in their shriveled loins to begin murdering liberals.

Because the 63 million who voted for second-place Trump are not all Neo-Nazis, Bigots, and Plutocrats but, they are more than willing to let a small vanguard of conservative terrorists and criminals foment violence in their name and have expressed their willingness to shut down the Press, if it keeps criticizing Traitor Trump, and over 50% of conservatives are willing to suspend ALL future elections.

This goes well beyond Donald Trump and his ownership by Russia.  Conservatives have been aching to use their 2nd Amendment Remedies, to begin Civil War 2.0 for a long time.  Many, right-wingers have stated the first shots of it have already been fired.  Republicans encouraged this right-wing anger and coddled incidents of right-wing violence.  Now, criminal conservatives feel emboldened.

So, when the FBI arrests a III Precenter and right-wing domestic terrorist Jerry Drake Varnell, as he attempts to emulate Timothy McVeigh and explode a 1000lb Truck Bomb in Oklahoma, understand  conservatives are terrorists who hate America and are going to keep ramping up the violence.

America falls for identity theft scam gives personal information to Putin's Puppet

Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in the country.  Criminals target thousands of American households every year.  Nowhere is this more evident than the White House.  Donald Trump has stolen what it means to be the President.  He gave it away cheaply to Russian pimps and gangsters.  Now Putin's Puppet wants to steal the vital biographical data on 200 million Americans and hand it over to the FSB and Spetsnaz.  The Republican Party is alligned with Russia against the Unsited States of American and the American People.

Don't expect small government conservatives to decry this action.  The creation of a MASSIVE database by federal bureaucrats causes them no consternation because conservatives sold their shriveled blackened souls to their Republican Masters long ago.  Conservatives will do whatever their  Republican Masters want and the Republican Party obeys the 1%.

The 1% wants to destroy the American Dream and the quickest way to do that is to eliminate the franchise for millions of Americans who don't vote right.  Trump's tiny right-hand man for this endeavor is the odious Kric Kobach, who sent a demand letter from the Executive Branch to all Secretary of State for all 50 states.

The Plutocracy has always hated expanded voting rights in America because when the American People are offered a choice of what type of government they desire, it is a Democratic Socialist type, with a solid social safety net, dignity for the elderly, assistance for the destitute, access to education and employment, union protections, living wages, public parks and public landmarks, and medical coverage for everyone.

The Republican Party opposses all of these things.  The Republicans want this:

A Public Beach used exclusively by Republican Hatchetman Chris Christie

The Republican Party hates America.  Conservatives hate basic deceny, human rights, and the progressive 20th century.  Conservatives want access to the America Dream made available only to them and crushing penury and slavery on everyone else.  The 1% hate that they do not own everything in this country.  Combined together, conservatives, the Republican Party, and the 1% want to destroy the United States and replace it with a neo-feudal wage slave state.

Together these three enemies of America, conspired to get Donald Trump elected President, because they knew he would enact the right-wing agenda of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich with reckless abandon.

Guns Save Lives! Don't Drink the Water. Choose not to get sick. Republicans offer up their Obamacare Alternatives i.e. Die

Granny Straving P90X Ryan has a message for America, "I would not bet against Mitch McConnell". Nor would I.  McConnell's desire to cosign millions of Americans to an early grave is evident on his plump comfortable face.  Paul Ryan's earliest dreams were of denying the poor, sick, and old of healthcare rights.  Now, Paul Aynryan has seized the opportunity to make his dreams of shredding the social safety net to transfer that money to the rich into a nightmare for the poor and sick as Mitch McConnell tries to make Republicans Don't Care a reality.

Conservatives are so desperate to send millions of Americans whom they believe are underserving of basic rights to their deaths they will invent any number of ridiculous arguments;

"What if there are 15 million people who actually don't want to sign up for insurance but they were forced to, and have been counted because they were forced to under Obamacare? Is that part of the number that CBO gave us?" - Rich out-of-touch Plutocrat Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute. 

"How about letting other groups form -- not just employer based," Doctor Alieta Eck opined, "So if a group like the NRA or some other group..." - Guns Save Lives after all.

Since the Orangmanbabyus maladministration occupied America we have seen the strain of evil called conservatism inflicting its' degenerate lack of morals upon the American People.

Republicans hate America.  Conservatives hate the American Dream and want it crushed.  Conservatives are yearning for Trump to signal the go ahead to slaughter liberals, minorities, feminists, and every person in the United States who has the gall to act like an entitled White Person.

Remember, that briefest of moments when conservatives called for an end to the violent rhetoric?  Yeah, that was a ruse.  What conservatives want is for #blacklivesmatter and liberals to lay down and accept death at the hands of Republican bureaucrats and conservative murderers.  Here's right-wing domestic terrorist Dana Loesch calling for bloodshed in an NRA video (yes the same NRA Dr. Eck said would offer medical insurance)

The only difference between conservative "thought" and Republican policies is conservatives want to kill you right now whereas Republicans would like you to die after you've worked yourself to death's door.

But, if Americans have the temerity to live beyond their useful working years, Republicans have a plan for that contingency, gutting EPA regulations so Corporations can wantonly poison Americans.  After all you could always exercise some of the Paul Ryan "Freedom" and choose not to drink water.

The Republican American Dream is to turn the Nation into a Death Camp

"If he dies, he dies..." Ivan Drago, Trump's Asst Secretary of Health and Human Services 

"These people don't understand how capitalism works..." Republican Deathdealer Francis Roony of Florida.

There are several unforgivable crimes in America; being poor, being black.  Republicans have added being sick to this list. And the Republican sentence is death.

Before summer’s out, we'll repeal/replace Obamacare w/ system based on personal responsibility, free-market competition &; state-based reform - Vice President Pence, a vicious bigot and murderous attack dog of the Rich doesn't care about the sick, the elderly, or the disabled, except that they die.

Republicans are set to enact the only healthcare plan they've every really believed in: 1) Don't Get Sick, 2) If you do, Die Quickly.

Republicans, those lofty out-of-touch, safely ensconced bureaucrats in Washington D.C. view Americans as cogs in the gears of industry and war.  To be used with no protections, and discarded when broken or worn-out.

When Republicans pine for Capitalism they long for those heady days when children were sent into coal mines and train workers who lost an arm could be fired with no reprecussions or compensation, when women got cancer from making radioactive watches, and young girls were chained into their shirt factory to be burned alive as there were no job killing regulations just worker killing jobs.  Republicans want Americans to work until they die.

This is the Republican American Dream.  Legions of Americans working themselves to death, to further enrich the Plutocrats, who keep Republicans flush with campaign cash in safe gerrymandered districts, where voter supression and no absentee voting ensures only the comfortable elite vote while the poor, the sick, the elderly are sentenced to the best death camps ever devised; Republican controlled America.  The Republican American Dream is a Giant Death Camp.

As a Liberal I'm Voting for Ben Carson for President (Updated)

Why am I supporting Carson? Mainly, because I hate America.

For years conservatives and elected Republican politicians have stated, matter-of-factly, that Liberals don't accept American Exceptionalism, that we wish to bring down the Greatest Free-est Best-est Country that every was, that we Hate America. This is common sense, no-duh, conventional wisdom on the Right. This is the starting point for every screed uttered on Right-Wing Toxic Hate Radio. This is the opening paragraph of every blog or facebook post, every conservative grifters latest book. It's the fundamental building block of everything the Right believes. This is Faux News.

Well, I'm going to prove them right. I'm going to vote for Ben Carson because a Carson Presidency will totally destroy the United States.

Ben Carson embodies C.S. Lewis' trilemma. Carson is a Liar and a Lunatic who thinks he's the Lord. Carson is a wholly unserious fairly demented individual. I can think of no one more qualified to usher in the End of the American Era. His Presidency will be quite a spectacle.

One of Carson lunatic beliefs (which I recall from years of Sid Meier's iconic computer games Civilization) that the Pyramids were built to store grain, seems to be Evangelical pablum recycled from middle-ages theologians that Joseph built the Pyramids for the 7 lean years. Carson, like all American Christianists, thinks he knows better than Historians, Scientists, Archaeologists and other trained people because he's read the Bible.

But, Carson's Presidential Campaign semi-admitted that Ben fabricated a story about getting a full-scholarship to West Point. Carson recounted his made up story in his novel, In Gifted Hands,

Afterward, Sgt. Hunt introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point. I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn't where I saw myself going.

Like, much of the Carson mystique, this account is a complete fabrication and outright lie. But, Carson's been recounting his lie of how he met General Westmoreland and was offered a "Scholarship" for 2 decades now. Of course, this doesn't matter to the "hermetically sealed" right-wing internet bubble. To them Carson's lies are proof the liberal media is out to get Ben Carson. (Just like that Faux News and every right-wing media site is covering for Ben Carson's West Point Lie.)

So, a proven liar and borderline lunatic, once Carson's beliefs are implemented into Policies and Laws would mark the End of the American Republic and usher in the Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave Corporate State.

Ben Carson has stated he will refuse to raise the debt ceiling. Boom, that alone will throw the entire World economic model, crafted post-World War II at the Breton Woods conference and refined at Bilderberg Meetings, into total Chaos.

Of course, it's going to be painful for the eternally butt-hurt white working class, because they are going to lose their homes, their meager savings, their pensions and 401k's and will not receive any Social Safety Net benefits. But, white working class people have been voting in Republicans for decades now and they deserve to share the pain they've inflicted on so many others.

Carsonomics having thrown the entire world into financial ruin will make the 2007 Republican Recession look like a Golden Era of Prosperity. So, Ben will move on to War to stimulate America.

Carson has declared he will order the military to destroy ISIS, so get ready for another decade of deployments to Iraq (Republicans and the Rich won't be worried because they don't serve in the military) but fortunately the military's hands, according to Ben, "will be untied" whatever that means? Torture? Burning Villages to save them from ISIS?

Carson now facing some discomfort at home, will declare Abortion is Slavery and use the awesome power of the government to ensure every pregnant woman carries her fetus to term. No matter what.

If that means quartering troops inside women's homes and detaining people without probable cause too bad, those amendments mean nothing when faced with the prospect some woman might get uppity ideas in her head about her body belonging to her!

Carson policies will tickle the right-wingers lizard brains and destroy America.

Update:
Kevin Drum over at MotherJones has a list of Carson's exaggerations (thus far). It seems to me that Ben Carson isn't satisified with his history. A quiet nerdy young man growing up in a tough section of Detroit (but before the Republican Economic Attack on the City), who went to Yale and then on to a brilliant medical career, so he's had to add elements and create a more compelling background for himself.

It's very sad, but what's downright disgusting is the way the Conservative Media Establishment is rallying, defending, and justifying Carson's baloney because they know he'll advance the Conservative Values of Intolerance, Oppression and Adulation of the Rich if he wins the White House. The Right-Wing media is hypocritically trotting out the 'High-Tech Lynching' rhetoric at the same time they've spent 7 years slandering and libeling President Obama.

The 2nd Amendment is a Suicide Pact but, oh well "Stuff Happens"

"There is danger that, if the court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact." - Justice Robert H. Jackson

Apropos of Justice Jackson's observation, the Second Amendment is, in fact, a Suicide Pact. The Cult of the Gun has taken over the United States and distorted the Second Amendment through parsing, legal rigamarole, obfuscation, deliberate lies, outright evil falsehoods, and disingenious argument reductio de absurbmentum and created a society in which common sense and strict enforcement of anti-gun legislation is impossible and brought the entire Nation down a repeating destructive path.

An armed society is not a polite society. It is a murderous, trigger happy, edgy, nervous society. So, we are witness to the spectacle of the Mass Shooting Gun Humping Maniac Dance. A killer armed with a Gun kills 9 and wounds 17 more at an Oregon Community College and immediately the Gun Nuts demand more Guns.

The Cult of the Second Amendment is one of those National Delusions and Insanities that overcomes a people from time to time.

Rereading Charles Mackey's Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, the current thinking re: the 2A is strikingly similar to the madness of Duelling which Europe suffered through for centuries.

Meanwhile after every shooting, the Republican response is to provide the literal least they can to the vicitms, as they offer up their 'Thoughts and Prayers' and proclaim this is not the time to talk about Gun Control as we're all too emotional. So, get used to get. Sandy Hook didn't change anything. In fact it made the situation worse as gun laws were loosened everywhere and gun humping lunatics flooded youtube, twitter, and facebook with Sandy Hook was a Hoax videos.

Even now, on-line stories are flooded with gun humping nuts who proclaim and chant the received wisdom, Holy Second Amendment! Gun Laws don't Stop Gun Rampages! And We, the People are held hostage to the Gun Nuts insanity as we wait for the next mass shooting at a yoga studio, grade school, or military base.

The Conservative Coup to turn The United States into The Neo-Confederacy

"Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"

America has been undergoing a rapdily accelerating Coup by Conservatives. After their military defeat during the Civil War, the conservatives of this Nation began a campaign of low-grade guerilla warfare against America targeting Women, Liberals, Unionists, Minorities, and Immigrants; all groups oppossed to the creation of the Southern White Man's Utopia the Neo-Confederacy.

Since the Era of Ronald Reagan, who opened up his white resentment campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, with "I believe in state's rights. I’m going to devote myself to trying to reorder those priorities and to restore to the states and local communities those functions which properly belong there." Conservatives have inflitrated enough areas of local, state, and federal government to alter, undermine and neuter protections for the American People and re-establish the Era when the 1% Ruled and White Conservatives acted as Whip Holders and Attack Dogs keeping everyone else in line.

But, in the last 15 years, they've accelearated their efforts, with major strikes at the heart of Democracy.

• The impeachment of President Bill Clinton.
• Convicted Criminal Tom DeLay and other Republicans redistricting Congressional Districts to devalue Democratic Votes. 
• The Stolen 2000 Presidential Election, in which Al Gore won the Popular Vote by almost a million votes and won more votes in Florida.
• The SCOTUS rulings especially Bush v. Gore and Citizen's United and Shelby County v. Holder.
• The Congressional Obstruction during Barack Obama's Presidency.

Recall that beginning in 2009 Republicans declared their number one goal was to ensure President Obama was a one-term President, not to help American struggling with the Republican Recession, not to deal with the Global War on Terror which conservatives by and large avoided, nope their goal was to get back to undercutting the American Middle Class and impoverishing the American Worker in order to create the Neo-Confederate Corporate dominated Wage Slave State.

Governor Bruce Rauner says it's time to Break Illinois

In his State of the State Address, Bruce Rauner laid out his vision for Illinois Workers; Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage.

"It is make or break time for the Land of Lincoln," Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner.

As always Rauner was short on specifics, he nonetheless let the Public Employee and Private Sector workers in Illinois know that he'll not stand for them making so much money.

Rauner declared his intent to destroy Unions (both Public and Private) and Public Sector Bargaining and he'll do so by whatever means available. Bruce Rauner issued an Executive Order declaring "Fair Share" employees Union dues should be held in a Trust until he can get his "Employee Empowerment Zones" established.

Rauner's Employee Empowerment Zones are the newest attempt to undercut Unions by allowing local muncipalities to create Right-to-Work Zones without the State of Illinois passing the necessary legislation.

Right-to-Work laws are best known as Right-to-Work for Less. Once passed these laws transfer all bargaining power to Business, which immediately enact cuts to pay and benefits.

Rauner claims these Orwellian-titled Empowerment Zones are needed because of the broken economic situation in Illinois. Of course, it was Bruce Rauner and his Hedge Fund Wealth Manager buddies who broke Illinois Public employees pensions.

By Rauner's own estimate 2/3rds of the funds for his Hedge Fund Firm GTCR were supplied by Public Pensions. In Illinois, GTCR "mismanaged" money for the Illinois Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) and the Illinois State Board of Investment, the state's largest and third-largest, respectively. Additionally, GTCR had access to state and municipal pension plans from the San Francisco City and County Employees' Retirement System to the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board.

For this "work" GTCR, takes 20% or more plus consultation and management fees. Rauner got his compensation no matter what the funds he "managed" did.

So, it's not surprising that Illinois and other Public Pensions began to go into insolvency once Rauner and other Vandal Capitalists got their hands on the funds. In fiscal year 2009, TRS lost $4.4 Billion (22% of its' value) in 2008 TRS lost 5% of it's value because of the Management of their Portfolios by Rauner-types.

Rauner made his fortune through "coin-clipping" he and his Vandal Capitalists clipped points off of Worker's Pensions to make their fortunes. Additionally, in keeping with his Transfer of Wealth Upwards, Rauner wants to lower taxes on the Rich and Corporations and expand sales taxes because those taxes hit the Working Class the hardest.

Rauner and his aides know exactly what Employee Empowerment Zones, his Reverse Robin Hood Tax Rates and Theft of Pensions will do to Illinois during interviews with the Chicago Tribune; how to improve the state's business climate as companies move out of state in search of a cheaper workforce.

So yes, Rauner wants to bring jobs here, the kind of jobs where you work 40 hours a week for wages which barely get you over the poverty line, with no prospects of being able to retire and no pension, working until the day you die.

2nd Amendment Heroes are literally Running Amuck in America

It's time to recognize an uncomfortable truth, The United States of America is a Failed Nation-State.

A Governmental System crafted by Aristocratic Enlightenment Age Plantation Masters is failing to survive the assaults of the 21st Century or bind together 300 million people.

The chief problem facing the Nation are the murderous rampages, which while fueled by any number of disparate grievances or underlying causes, are easily carried out by the abundance of and easy access to the tools of mass murder; Guns.

The fanaticism of the small cadre of the NRA (and affliated Gun Groups), Firearm Manufacturers, gun humping lunatics and political hatchet-men has left Americans to be slaughtered at the whim of 2nd Amendment Heroes who are literally Running Amuck.

Running Amuck (also known as Amok or Amuco), 'a murderous frenzy or rage' entered the english lexicon when European sailors made it to Malay and Java.

As with today's mass killers, there where many theories why a Malay would Run Amok, some believed an evil spirit, a hantu belian, had taken over the individual. Anthropologists and others speculated the Amuco was an attempted suicide in a society in which it was unacceptable. This is colloquially known today as suicide by cop. Additionally, a social theory was advanced that in Malay society unattached young males were frequently denied access to women because older males had several "wives", thus causing the young males to go Amuco.

However, when someone in Java or Malaysia went Amuco centuries past, there was only so much murder and mayhem they could accomplish with a war club and keris before being overpowered and killed themselves.

Unfortunately, unlike the Amuco in SE Asia, here in the US we have Elliot Rodger (of Malaysian descent) in Isla Vista, California and the 6 people (3 stabbed to death and 3 shot) he killed along with the 13 injured by gunfire or being struck by his car.

But, while the spectacular gun massacre still makes news the daily death toll from firearms is barely noticed across the Nation. On Memorial Day, in Huntley, Illinois two middle-aged brothers became involved in a domestic dispute which ended with gunfire killing one, wounding the other along with the brothers' 81 year old mother.

Also over the Memorial Day weekend, in Myrtle Beach shootings took the lives of three people and wounded five more.

Last month in Montana, a homeowner murderer fired blindly into his darkened garage killing a 17 year old German exchange student.

Whole city blocks of cities are turned into nightly no-go areas where multiple innocent people are shot.

Political candidates invoke the spectre of "Second Amendment Remedies" or produce campaign commercials wherein they kill something with their gun. While other Politicians afraid of the powerful, blood-soaked Gun Lobby cower in fear and do little.

Meanwhile, roving bands of armed men descend upon establishments to engage in a thinly veiled primate genital display. (Note: If you see a bunch of men walking around with rifles the safest reaction is to believe a Mass Killing is imminent and escape.)

Second Amendment Maniacs claim the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Even if I were to concede that point, which I DO NOT, then the blood-soaked Second Amendment Maniacs tacitly concede that the United States is not a Civilized Nation nor even a functioning one. NRA scare tactics, conferences and videos also buttress this point.

Yet, after every mass murder, the firearm fanatics not only fail to pause to reconsider their beliefs they only serve to further entrench them in the thoughtless zealotry. And thus the cycle drags Us deeper and deeper downwards.

All of this points to one conclusion; We are on a downward trajectory towards a failed Nation-State. 

These are not the conditions of a thriving Culture or Country. It is the Necrosis of a Society crumbling under contradictions and internal pressure; Pressure which is on the trigger of a Gun, which can now be pointed at anyone, anytime. 

The Constitution is Not a Suicide Pact. We need not allow the whims and insanities of gun clinging madmen define America. We need not let the Second Amendment Sociopaths Collapse this Nation.

No, the Pope's not a Marxist, he's a Catholic

And Conservatives loathe Catholics almost as much as blacks and women.

Pope Francis has given signals he wants to redirect the focus of the Church back towards its' original founding principles. American Catholics are in a quandary having to choose between Racist Limbaugh, his acolytes and their god and the Pope.

For years conservatives have assumed they could count on American Catholic votes because of two issues; unceasing hatred of gays and staunch anti-abortion.

But, while Republicans would check off these two boxes in order to win those Catholics votes, once in office they would go about implementing the Conservative Principles of Oppression, Subjugation, and Adulation of the Rich.

Now, that the Pope has criticized Mammon, the Right Wing God, the forces of the 1% have begun to turn their viciousness towards the Vicar of Christ, with Fox News editor Adam Shaw already declaring that "Pope Francis will prove a disaster for the Church".

In the same article, Shaw also compared Vatican II to New Coke. While this is absurd it does give a window into the minds of right-wingers. New Coke was a commercial disaster which lost Money. Mammon. Money. Mammon. Adam Shaw is paid to dupe conservatives into Adulation of the Rich and his mind is so caught in that paradigm he can not make a comparison without the mindset of money playing a part.

World Net Daily had to assure their marks that Jesus Christ was, in fact, a Capitalist where someone named Jonathon Moseley "sets pope straight on Bible's condemnation of socialism."

So, as Xmas approaches American Catholics, must watch as their "brethren", the Religious Right, who've championed horrid anti-human, let'em die, kill the poor, genuflection to the Plutocracy and Vulture Capitalists, turn upon them.

During an interview with La Stampa, the Pope was asked, Some of the passages in the “Evangelii Gaudium” attracted the criticism of ultraconservatives in the USA. As a Pope, what does it feel like to be called a “Marxist”?

"I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended."

Later in the interview, The Pope continued about his distrust of Piss Down Your Back Trickle Down economics:

"The only specific quote I used was the one regarding the “trickle-down theories” which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and social inclusiveness in the world. The promise was that when the glass was full, it would overflow, benefitting the poor. But what happens instead, is that when the glass is full, it magically gets bigger nothing ever comes out for the poor."

As has been shown by the evil reaction from the American Right towards The Pope, this is blasphemy! Right-Wingers have long ago succeeded in their efforts to conflate and garble the definition of terms.

This garbling has lead towards conservative shorthand argumentation form, where a Republican Politician is never asked to explain the despicable by-products or reprehensible evil outcomes of their policies but is allowed to just free associate and say, 'Freedom. Flag. Jesus. 9/11, Wealth of Nations, job creators. amen...' And when a conservative wants to bash a Liberal, the same shorthand technique is often used, 'France! Marxist! Alinsky! Muslim! Spread the Wealth...'

This shorthand saves the conservative from having to explain anything and allows him to puff up with righteous zeal and win the "argument" with Red Face and Loud Voice!

Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Prosperity has been the catechism of Conservatives ever since the 1% determined to destroy the American Dream. It's the End-State of Capitalism. So expect the preachers of Faux News and the Right-Wing blog-o-sphere to continue their assault on the Pontiff  because Mammon will only ever be satisfied when American workers are brought into Corporate Bondage and an Undying Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave State is ensconced were the Democratic Republic once stood.

Republicans will Agree to Bomb Syria in exchange for

Stealing Social Security, Defunding Obamacare and eliminating the EPA.

“…[E]veryone but an idiot knows that the lower classes must be kept poor, or they will never be industrious.” - Arthur Young; 1771

The Anti-American Party (Republicans and Pro-Business Democrats) are ready to give the President the Authority to Bomb Syria into Peace(s) in exchange for taking Social Security and transferring it into the coffers of the Warmongering Plutocracy. As a bonus we can kick some lazy poor people who won't join the military to fight to enrich the 1% off of Medicaid and SNAP. And we will necessarily have to eliminate the EPA because Corporations will need to be able to pollute the air and water in order to ensure our military is fighting with the best equipment.

Hey! It's the Right thing to do for Our Benighted Job Creators. We All have to sacrifice!

• Lower Benefits for the Poor! 
• Lower Rights for the Working Class! 
• Lower Life Expectancy for the Middle Class! 
• Lower Taxes for the Rich! 
• Lower Regulations for Polluters!

It's only fair we all have some skin in the game.

I mean how dare Detroit Mayor David Bing order the Koch Brothers Sovereign Corporation Koch Carbon LLC to clean up the four story tall multi-ton heap of Petroleum refining byproducts left from processing Alberta Tar Sands deposited along the banks of the Detroit River,

"The pet coke, a byproduct of tar sands oil refining, has caused a controversy for months since four-story-high piles appeared along the Detroit River near the Ambassador Bridge. Many local residents protested the eyesore and the potential for the piles to pollute both the air and the river."

Just this week, Koch Carbon apparently moved the petcoke to Ohio, where most likely the high-sulfur toxic pollutant will be burned for electrcitiy and befoul the air of Ohio but, Koch Carbon will not comment on the fate of the pollutants.

Of course, with the USA re-entering the Victorian Little Wars Era the only jobs left in America, outside being a Plutocracy Apologist, will be Cogs in the Machinery of War; Bravely opening up Foreign Markets for the Plutocracy to exploit.

"I don't believe in humanitarian wars. I don't believe in humanitarian bombings," Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Orlando).

The United States has entered a Ultra-Reactionary Period in which the Plutocratic Elites aided by their Media and Government Lapdogs are attacking every Progressive gain. 

"You know, if one day a kid doesn’t have lunch, right, maybe that’s a teaching moment when that kid doesn’t have lunch. That may sound harsh saying that, but we’ve got to get people to start being responsible for themselves." - Thomas Kersting on Fox & Friends

Oh yes, it's a teaching momement. We have to teach the Poor that they are here to toil and suffer to enrich the Plutocracy. Like Republican Congressman Stephen Fincher, who while voting to eliminate SNAP assistance for poor children and do away with subsidized lunches has raked in over $3,500,000 USC in free money from the Federal Government. Much of it for NOT growing certain crops.  

But when the despicable Rich Lowry of NRO is on Faux News stating, 

"[G]overnment has gone out and deliberately eroded the natural sense of stigma Americans feel about being on the dole in any form and that's a disgrace." 

He isn't talking about Stephen Fincher or Michele Bachmann and the millions they've received or the Trillions of Tax Payer Dollars which have been stolen by the 1%. A figure so large its' scope alone make people dismiss the theft because it's easier to believe the 1% aren't robbing Us into servitude and penury. But, Rich Lowry is a paid apologist for Power and Plutocracy. It's his job to defend the 1% and attack the Poor and Working Class.

What's making this so successful for the Plutocrats is the multiple fronts approach they've adopted. Instead of allowing Working Class resistance to build up to fight one battle, the Plutocracy is going after everything ensuring that resistance will be local and or fragmented.

So, while Republicans seek to dominate and subjugate women in Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin other Republicans are going after Social Security and Medicare.

“You want sequester relief? Then let’s talk about a reduction in entitlement spending,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell in July. 

"Now, it’s time to deal with the mandatory side,” Speaker of the House John Boehner told the crowd at a fundraiser for Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) in Boise, Idaho. “I’ve made it clear that we’re not going to increase the debt limit without cuts and reforms that are greater than the increase in the debt limit.”

"What we need to have happen is leadership on the part of this president and the White House to … say we’re going to fix the underlying problem that’s driving our deficit … the entitlement programs and the unfunded liability that they are leaving on this generation and the next.” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said earlier this month.

The 1% are satisfied with just Paying No Taxes, they also want to eliminate programs which aid the Working Class, they want potential opposition (Unions and Collective Bargaining) to their Dominance destroyed and they want all government spending rerouted to the Military-Industrial-Complex.
