Congressman Joe Walsh what do you think of wounded Veterans?

"Ehhhh... Now let's move on." - Joe Walsh, Tea Party Republican

Congressman Joe Walsh is gearing up for the 2012 elections. He's going to face Tammy Duckworth for the Illinois 8th District. "What else has she done? Female, wounded veteran … ehhh,” he continued.

This is standard for conservatives. Once they are facing a Democrat with military service, they smear them or discount their service.

In the 1990's, Walsh a failed actor, proclaimed himself a fiscal conservative and social liberal, who supported Clinton's "Safe, Legal, and Rare" abortion plan.

In 2010, as Walsh was running for Congress for the third time, he pulled his thumb out of his ass, stuck it in the wind and declared himself a Tea Partier. Walsh's declaration was good enough for ignorant duped right-wingers who snuck Walsh into Congress. Since, his election Right-Wingers happily stand behind Joe Walsh because he insults President Obama.

Since, his election Walsh has been a shameless despicable conservative. He has done nothing. He's missed major votes in the U.S. House. Walsh is a deadbeat dad who owes more than $117,000 in missed child support payments. Walsh seems to have run for Congress to get some sweet, sweet Government welfare and healthcare insurance.

He has offered up nothing to help the Illinois constituents he claims to represent and has turned a eye towards making in-roads into the Alternate Conservative Reality and the Right-Wing culture of lies and slanders.

Congressman Joe Walsh is a shameless Tea Party Republican. He's the worst Representative in the US. Yes, worse than Michele Bachmann or Steve King.

And this isn't the first time Walsh has pissed on veterans. Walsh was recorded belching forth a red-faced tirade at Melissa Rakestraw, a USPS worker who lives in his district, when she dared to explain to Walsh that Wall Street and the Banks had crashed the economy. Walsh declared he was "sick of hearing that crap!" and "Don't blame the banks!"

Rakestraw also informed Walsh that his blind obedience to the Right-Wing agenda of destroying the Post Office would result in Veterans losing their jobs with the USPS and Walsh told her, "I don't care about the loss of public sector jobs."

But, none of this matters to Right-Wingers. They are going to Stand with Joe Walsh and support him simply because he "talks tough" and claims to be a Tea Party fighter. Tammy Duckworth correctly summed up Joe Walsh, "He’s not there to serve his constituents. He’s there to be the voice of the tea party.”

Time to go Joe and be true to your right-wing values and don't collect your Government welfare for work you didn't do...

Clothes Make the Man and No Harm No Foul / Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman

A Roman Maxim and An American Maxim

Geraldo Rivera offered up the 'If the hoodie fits, you must convict' verdict that by wearing a hoodie Trayvon Martin was guilty or looked guilty enough and thus George Zimmerman was absolutely within the law to murder him.

Thomas Sowell offered up support for Rivera in his column over at the despicable NRO. There is no point in dressing like a hoodlum when you are not a hoodlum, even though that has become a fashion for some minority youths... Sure thing Thomas, just like all these scary men who shop at this Thug store.

But, Daddy Zimmerman offered up a ludicrous fairy tale account of what happened that night,

“At that point, he was punched in the nose, his nose was broken and he was knocked to the concrete. Trayvon Martin got on top of him and just started beating him. In the face. In his nose, hitting his head on the concrete. After nearly a minute of being beaten, George was trying to get his head off the concrete, trying to move with Trayvon on him, in the grass. In doing so, his firearm was shown. Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of, ‘You’re going to die now,’ or ‘You’re going to die tonight’ or something to that effect . .”

Except video surveillance of the Sanford PD car port and lock-up was released and after getting his nose broken and having his head bounced off the concrete for "nearly a minute" Zimmerman, apparently, has no visible injuries or blood stains.

But, really all the evidence in the world isn't going to convince Right-Wingers. If Martin had shot Zimmerman their reaction might have been different. They would be calling for an arrest for murder.

But, instead what has been most important to conservatives in this case are the shockingly lengths they got to smear and slander Martin, to find post hoc and hearsay evidence which proves he was a bad kid, like pictures of a tattoo or his school suspension records, and the out-right lies and false information (crafted by the white supremacists at Stormfront) they are willing to uncritically resend and fervently believe it because it fits their pre-conceived narrative.

Update: Gawker has an story of White Supremacist Hackers Klanklannon claimed to have hacked Trayvon Martin's email, twitter and facebook accounts and posted them. Gawker states Klanklannon made clear their intention was to smear Trayvon and probably knew Erick Erickson or Dana Loesch would repeat their bigoted smear job on National Media, "Today / pol / Tomorrow CNN."

Sadly, besides their efforts to defame the dead, conservatives have no other concerns about the dead young man or the too vague/too subjective Stand Your Ground Law, which contributed to his murder at the hands of George Zimmerman, but have focused their ire and hatred towards, as every right-wing bigot puts it, the professional race-baiters, which to them includes the President of the United States.

That's whom conservatives are really mad at in this case. It's a realization that for conservatives everything always and forever will be about Race. And now anything they think they can use to harm Barack Obama they are going to use.

We are respectable negroes: Smearing Trayvon Martin: The True Lie that Black Men Commit More Crime than Whites

Mitt Romney tells Jay Leno If you were Wealthy, you'd be Healthy [updated]

Update:
Via Crooks and Liars here is video of Mitt Romney recalling "one of the most humorous" things he could remember was when his Elitist father fired American auto workers.

Oh, Mitt! Like Father, Like Son!

With the recent revelation that Mitt Romney's garage will have an elevator for his cars, The Vulture swooped down to make an appearance on the Jay Leno Tonight Show (Leno famously loves and collects cars.)

But, it wouldn't be a Mitt Romney appearance with out the Out-of-Touch Quarter Billionaire taking a chance to reveal just how disconnected he is from 99.9% of Americans.

Vulture Mitt has the smooth misunderstanding of Health Insurance that comes from being born a child of privilege and riches never having to worry if he or his family members got sick, injured, had their job outsourced by Bain Capital, lost their coverage or had their foot run over by one of the many illegals mowing Mitt Romney's palatial estate.

“It seems to me like children and people with preexisting conditions should be covered,” Leno noted.

“People with preexisting conditions — as long as they’ve been insured before, they’re going to continue to have insurance,” Romney explained.

“Suppose they were never insured?” Leno asked.

“Well, if they’re 45 years old, and they show up, and they say, I want insurance, because I’ve got a heart disease, it’s like, `Hey guys, we can’t play the game like that. You’ve got to get insurance when you’re well, and if you get ill, then you’re going to be covered,’” Romney replied.

“I know guys that work in the auto industry and they’re just not covered because they work in brake dust,” Leno pressed. “And then they get to be 30, 35, and were never able to get insurance before. Now they have it. That seems like a good thing.”

It is a good thing. Which is why Mitt and the Republican Party can't stand it. Republicans do not want the government doing "good things" because then people we see that government can in fact be a positive force. But, not to Mitt. If you don't have heath insurance and want it now? Too bad we Rich people play "a game" with your life.

Additionally, Paul Ryan re-released his Path to Penury, which guarantees to take 4 Trillion from the poor, sick and old and give it to the 1%.

The Republican Party is wholly invested in returning the United States to the Gilded Age and the Obscene Wealth concentration in the hands of the 1%.

Because, to conservatives the rise of individualism and the emancipation of minorities, women, homosexuals and all those oppressed by the Right-Wingers represents the Destruction of America.

What Obamacare actually represents, flawed as it is, is potential liberation from control by the 1%, the ability to have reasonably affordable care without being bankrupted or being denied coverage because you had a pre-existing heart condition and don't have the illicit war profiteer wealth to buy a new one like Dick Cheney.

Sears Executives abandoning the Company laden with stolen Illinois Taxpayer dollars

Sears executives are fleeing from the company one after another.

Sears Holdings Corp's Chief Marketing Officer Monica Woo left the struggling chain earlier this year after just five months, dealing yet another blow to the retailer as it tries to turnaround its business.

John Goodman, a seasoned retail executive who was executive vice president of the apparel and home unit, left earlier this year. Dev Mukherjee, president of the home appliances business at Sears, left the Hoffman Estates-based chain in March. Reporting by Dhanya Skariachan (Reuters)

In December, Governor Quinn gave Sears Holding Corp a special tax dispensation after the company threatened to move out of their Hoffman Estates, Illinois Corporate Headquarters and close numerous Illinois stores.

Sears used their leverage over Quinn to secure tax credits worth $15 million a year for 10 years, which it can use against withheld employee income taxes. The deal also extended a special taxing district, reducing the company's local property tax bill for another 15 years.

The reason a Corporation gets special tax district in a state is so they can funnel their profits to the Corporate HQ and report the income in that special district thus paying a lower rate from other states on the profits.

There was an obvious quid pro quo in place that Sears would spare Illinois stores, but last month Sears Holding announced it was closing five stores in Illinois.

The Illinois stores — two Sears locations and three Kmarts — join a list of up to 120 underperforming stores that Sears said in December would be shut. No Illinois stores were on the first list, but Sears didn't rule out later additions.

I don't know if Monica Woo, John Goodman, or Dev Mukherjee received a Golden Parachute special executive compensation severance packages for their bang-up work running Sears into the ground but, I do know the average Sears/K-Mart worker got a Corporate Golden Shower when they were terminated.

But, I wouldn't be shocked to find out those 3 received millions for helping with the special tax dodge and the Corporate "restructuring". Because this is how modern American Capitalism and Corporate business works. A company gets the state to absorb it's deficits and losses, cuts jobs and closes stores, off-shores manufacturing jobs and hires illegals with false social security numbers all to increase the bottom line and compensation for those at the very top.

Right-Wing bigots smear campaign against Trayvon Martin, won't even let the dead rest

One hallmark of Modern Conservatives is their fervent desire to defame the dead because the dead can no longer speak to defend themselves.

But, Right-Wingers have gone beyond their usual efforts with Trayvon Martin and are shitting all across the blog-o-sphere because they need to prove that Martin was one of those types because in their minds it will justify his murder.

The application of Deadly Force can only be justified by circumstances one knows prior to incident. Knowledge gained post hoc can not be used to justify the killing. Even though conservative super sleuths uncovered Trayvon Martin was on at least a five day suspension. That knowledge was not known to Zimmerman nor could it justify his murder.

But, Right-Wingers are ignorant wretches so that doesn't matter to them. They are in a desperate hunt to find evidence that proves Martin was a gang-banger.

Thump and Whip pointed out Conservative race-blogger Dan Riehl unraveling before your eyes. I ventured over there and the level of hatred and evil is very real. Conservatives really believe Zimmerman was justified in murdering Martin.

As a member of the neighborhood watch, Zimmerman was doing exactly what he was suppose to do. He was licensed to carry a pistol, and was properly trained in its use. While these types of altercations are unfortunate, they do happen. There is more to this story than the media is reporting.

Trayvon Martin, committed no crime. Zimmerman had no authority to confront him, attempt to question him and chase him down as was admitted on the 911 call.

But, pointing this out to right-wingers only earns you violent threats as I received from one Koozbane:

Look, you may need authority to walk down a street in your own neighborhood, but we grown ups in the USA are allowed out at night to walk wherever we like, follow whomever we like, and ask questions to whomever we choose.

Unarmed attackers should remain unarmed until they back off or have the contents of the weapon emptied into their flailing carcasses.

To put it plainly so even a dim leftist can understand: Attack a person with a gun and you're going to die.

So, I'm walking down a street and Mr. Koozbane feels free to follow me, confront me, question me and when I run away, chase me and then shoot me.

Almost every post over at Dan Riehl's site deals with slandering Martin to exonerate Zimmerman of the murder.

Riehl linked a facebook account of a Trayvon Martin. The account includes a photo a young black man which proved, to conservatives, Martin was a gang-banger. When multiple people pointed out it wasn't the same Trayvon, Riehl countered, It doesn't appear to be the same Trayvon Martin. But I'm still not sure. It's still linked.

Conservatism is fake Performance Art. It's all designed to provide cover for the Alternate Conservative Reality. But, in so doing they've unleashed their barely contained sub-surface bigotry.

The facebook photo linked by Riehl made it over to Moonbattery and to numerous other right-wing blogs.

Some say this is a different Trayvon Martin who just happens to look similar. As with everything else with this case, we’ll have to wait for the smoke to clear before we know for sure.

Oh, it may not be the same young black kid? Oh well, it's close enough for us. Guilty until Proven Innocent in Right-Wing eyes.

Ace of Spades, showed us what all Liberals know about conservative bloggers, they don't know anything about Law. Ace, gets his dander in a ruff and blames the media;

Oh, the Media decided We Have To Have a National Discussion about this story.

I appreciate the media dubbing Zimmerman "a white Hispanic." Like the Israelis, he's now an honorary member of the Oppressive White Majority.

First, remember it always and forever is about Race with Right-Wingers. Every time.

But, here in Illinois every standard arrest and contact report form has a category for race of the contact (suspect, victim, witness) and one of the racial categories is... White Hispanic. Ace doesn't know this because like all Right-Wing bloggers his goals aren't to report facts but, to attack his objects of hatred (the media, young black men) and cause ignorant conservatives to swallow his garbage and create a wholly fabricated false memory of the incident.

It, of course, gets worse than just trying to work your duped mouth-breathing sychophants into a lather by purposefully misunderstanding a category on an arrest sheet. Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists are making clear their intentions. Not only was Zimmerman right in confronting and killing an innocent man without authority, provocation or probable cause, any of them are justified as well. They don't need anything other than that piece at their side to gun you down.

Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs points out the sickening bigotry Dan Riehl is engaged in and earns his twitter wrath.

Corporate Slavery starts with your Facebook Password

Corporate Dominance of Americans is increasingly becoming a reality.

Republicans claim to loathe the government. The only part of the Government Republicans hate are those laws and governmental bodies which help the poor, protect the weak and empower the 99% against the Plutocracy. Anything which serves to aid or protect individuals is hateful to Right-Wingers. But, what Republicans do love is unbridled Corporate Hegemony and Corporations unrestrained by anything which hampers their acquisition of Power and Money.

Thus, while we have protections from the Government, Americans increasingly have no protections from the oppression by Corpoate Neo-Feudalism and their servile Republican lapdogs across the Nation.

There is no point discussing this with some Right-Wingers who have so swallowed the lies of the Republican Party as to not see the chains of Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage fastened around their necks.

Employers asking for your Facebook password as a pre-requisite for employment?

Employers asking women for what possible reason they want birth control pills?

Churches or Business owners being able to deny you health care because they have a moral objection to how you use it?

Think about this. You, as an American, could tell any individual, police officer, or right-wing bureaucrat to go Transvaginal Ultrasound themselves if they asked this information of you. Yet, Republicans and Right-Wing crypto-fascists are not only happy to let Corporations violate your basic rights but are actively passing laws to empower Corporate Behemoths to oppress and control you. Republicans in Arizona have already made it legal for an employer to ask women about their sex lives and to deny them access to birth control.

When Rand Paul or Ron Paul state they wouldn't have voted for the Civil Rights Act or dance around it's repeal, it is because of the constraints it puts upon businesses. A private business can discriminate, can violate your rights and can have total control over you because it's not government.

When Newt Gingrich or Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah say child labor laws are unconstitutional it's because they feel that Coprorations should have No Restraints put upon their Ravenous predation of the American people including your children.

When the Republican-led House, bolstered by vast number of Democrats, votes to pass a Orwellian-named "Jobs Act", which would further eliminate safeguards, roll back transparency and deregulate the gambling Wall Street interests who crashed the economy a mere 5 years ago they feel no compunction, let alone guilt at their actions, because Corporate/Banking/Wall Street power has so throughly corrupted the US Government all ill-gotten profits are privatized while all losses are subsidized.

Already Corporations pay less in taxes than the average middle class American. Already Corporations, like Boeing, steal Hundreds of Millions of dollars but get away with it under the euphemism of fraud. Already Corporations, like BP, routinely violate pollution standards by willful malfesance or gross negligence. Already Corporations, like Massey Energy, kill their workers by knowingly placing them in unsafe conditions but get away with fines instead of jail time.

What this amounts to is Unequal Protection. The whole Lard Ass Republican Party and most members of the Democratic Party are greasing the slippery slope of Corporate Neo-Feudalist Wage Slavery.

Illinois State Rep Joseph M. Lyons is super-mad his Rape Wand Bill isn't being fast tracked

Joe Lyons who proposed Illinois HB 4085 is demanding 5 Illinois Representatives withdraw their amendments and co-sponsor his Rape Wand Bill.

The Bill made it through the Illinois Agricultural Committee 11-2, but since then it has been saddled with 5 Amendments. Joe Lyons addressed the Illinois House and said of the amendments, “That’s what you call, ladies and gentlemen, a hostile amendment to kill a bill.” Lyons asked the lawmakers to withdraw their amendments and simply debate the bill in the full House.

Lyons' bill is euphemistically called the UltraSound Opportunity Act, which gives Doctors the glorius "Opportunity" to shove a transvaginal probe all up inside the dirty, dirty, ladyparts of sluts, errr abortion seekers.

Lyons, is a Democrat but he's also a devout Catholic, having attended DePaul University for his Bachleror's and Master's Degrees. However, the co-sponsors of his bill included 13 Republicans and only 4 Democrats and of the 19 only 3 are women.

This just goes beyond disgusting. Republicans joined by these zealous Democratic religious fanatics are imposing the power of Government onto Americans. Sadly, it appears the Doctors are going to have to bear the burden of resisting unjust laws because if there's one truism of conservatives it's that they love the power of Big Government when that power is used to oppress people and violate Americans' civil rights.

Fortunately, there very well may be a resistance by Physicans into being made the Tools of Right-Wing Oppressors. From the blog Whatever by John Scalzi comes this guest post by an Anonymous Doctor;

Fellow physicians, once again we are being used as tools to screw people over. This time, it’s the politicians who want to use us to implement their morally reprehensible legislation. They want to use our ultrasound machines to invade women’s bodies, and they want our hands to be at the controls. Coerced and invaded women, you have a problem with that? Blame us evil doctors. We are such deliciously silent scapegoats.

It is our responsibility, as always, to protect our patients from things that would harm them. Therefore, as physicians, it is our duty to refuse to perform a medical procedure that is not medically indicated. Any medical procedure. Whatever the pseudo-justification.
It’s time for a little old-fashioned civil disobedience.

This brave Doctor may be willing to do what the pseudo-Oathkeepers only claimed to aspire to, which is resist an unjust law which seeks to humiliate, shame, degrade, punish and reduce women to the status of second-class citizens devoid even of the basic right to control their own bodies.

Trayvon Martin's Murder in Florida, Business the American Way

Can't You Feel It Coming? Empire!
Can't You Hear it Coming?
Black Man trapped Again - Empire, Queensrÿche

The murder of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, besides being a fucking murder, is a clear cut case of Tennessee versus Garner (SCOTUS 1985). A case well known to all Police Officers. But, for those unaware, if a person is running away you can not just gun them down. Specifically, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may use deadly force only to prevent escape if the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.

Before deciding to murder of Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman has apparently gleamed enough from Cop Dramas to lie and claim self-defense but, the 911 tapes clearly show it was a case of premeditated murder by Zimmerman of "fucking coons". Zimmerman's full 911 call includes that tidbit @ 2:21 of the tape.

George Zimmerman - "He's got his hand in his waistband and... he's black."

Dispatcher- "Are you following him?"

George Zimmerman - "Yeah."

Dispatcher - "Okay we don't need you to do that."

But, Zimmerman wasn't going to follow that order because according to him these "fucking coons", "these assholes always get away".

Trayvon's final scream before Zimmerman murdered him is The Eternal Testament to Governor Jeb Bush and the NRA Gun-Nuts who empowered crazy wannabe vigilantes to go around murdering people. Think Progress has more deatils about the wannabe crime fighter Zimmerman. Trayvon Martin's murder shows the Florida Stand Your Ground is prima facia Unconstitutional just like everything connected to the Bush Legacy.

As Jill over at Brilliant at Breakfast stated,

do not let any mention of Jeb Bush go by ever again without a photograph or mention of Trayvon Martin attached to it. Because this country, when it forgets (as it will) what Jeb Bush's brother did to this country, it must never be allowed to forget just who it was that made it legal to kill people because of the invented "threat" of their race. I want the face of Trayvon Martin to haunt Jeb Bush's dreams for the rest of his life.

Jeb Bush, the NRA, and Right-Wing Gun Nuts are responsible for the death of Trayvon Martin because as always conservatives build these grand edifices of supposed rights and liberties which are supported by a foundation of shit and lies and end up, when actually applied in the Real World, getting people killed.

Update:
Florida Governor Rick Scott appointed a Task Force to investigate the Trayvon Martin Murder.

George W(orst President Ever) Bush kept us out of a Great Depression

in the same way he kept us safe during 9/11...

It's the first mention of Bush's name during the entire Republican Primary and Vulture Capitalist Mitt Romney made it,

"I keep hearing the president say he's responsible for keeping the country out of a Great Depression. No, no, no, that was President George W. Bush."

Thanks to Green Eagle for altering me to Romney's Declaration.

Now, I think I understand what Romney meant, but in order to understand Mitt you have to see the world through his gold-rimmed monocle. Because to Mitt and his Upper Echelon 1% brethren there hasn't been a Depression let alone a Recession. Romney and the Plutocratic Thieves made out extraordinarily well during Bush's Presidency. It's just that the 99% suffered under Bush and Cheney.

Under Bush and Cheney the top 0.1% got a tax cut of $520,000, 450 times what the middle income taxpayer received. The bottom 20% only got 1% of the tax cut. The tax cuts were sold as a way to bring in middle class jobs and rising middle class wages.

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.

Steal Billions and funnel it to the 1%. George Bush and Dick Cheney ran the United States as if hundreds of millions of Americans didn't exist. Bush couldn't give a shit if your job got sent overseas or if an illegal immigrant got it as long as his 1% buddies got millions of stolen taxpayer dollars. Bush couldn't give a shit if thousands die in New Orleans because of Hurricane Katrina. Bush couldn't give a shit is thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis die in his Bullshit War in Iraq, "Bring'em on!"

All Bush cared to do was to perpetuate and accelerate the massive redistribution of Wealth, begun by Reagan, upwards to the 1%, while grinding the working class and middle class into Wage Slavery and bondage under the tyrannical control of Plutocratic elites, or as Bush himself put it, "Some call you the Elites - I call you my base."

Jason Mattera ambushes Bono (of U2) Breitbart is Here

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Welcome to the Conservative Alternate Reality! Furthering Breitbart's Legacy;

Jason Mattera has been referred to as “DC’s Bad Boy Reporter,” and criticized in some quarters for his tactics. However, few have disputed his ability to get embarrassing excerpts out of those he interviews. This series of videos certainly does nothing to dispel that perception.

U2 singer Bono is known for his antipoverty activism, which includes calls on most world governments to spend more on foreign aid. Yet when it comes to the finances of Bono’s own company, he’s apparently a bit more of a Scrooge. Moreover, he’s loath to admit it, as an interview with author Jason Mattera caught on tape showed.

Except as has been pointed out by the bigs (Little Green Footballs, Balloon Juice and Media Matters) it isn't Bono, it's an impersonator named Pavel Sfera of Bonodouble.com.

But, Mattera went onto Sean Hannity's Radio Show to tout his interview and his new book. Hannity, of course, eagerly provided Mattera a platform and even when it became obvious this was another case of conservatives reporting fake news he found it "hilarious." "I looked at it -- it looked pretty real to me," Sean Hannity.

That is the point. Right-Wingers don't need facts or evidence. They already have their conclusions. Here's a selection of the comments at The Blaze:

A very revealing look inside the mind of a Liberal. First he denies any knowledge at all, then when it’s clear that he has knowledge he denies any involvement and tries to play the victim, then when it is finally very clear that he has no way out and he can’t hide the truth he talks about love and peace.

He’s a liberal!!!! Democrat or whatever other party we could name. Liberals want YOU to DO what they want. What they want, and say, does not equal what they want for themselves. You see, liberals consider themselves special. All a liberal has to do is talk the talk, then they feel they have completed their civic duty.

It's beyond projection. Right-Wingers have been so conditioned by years of propaganda they now don't need anything beyond performance pieces which confirm there brain-washing. And that's what James O'Keefe and Jason Mattera and the whole generation of Chicken Hawk Conservatives are providing.

However, I have to take back an earlier insult I lobbed at Mattera. While he's still a cowardly chicken hawk, I thought he was also a standard Right-Wing Racist when he promoted his last Wingnut Welfare Book called Obama Zombies or Will Smith Zombies because as he said in this video he's got a tough time telling them apart.

Jason Mattera, just seems unable to recognize human faces and unable to recognize human emotions... What a sad world it is for the conservative Breitbart wannabe...

My Illinois Voting "Fraud"

I voted in the Illinois Primary, yesterday. As it is an open Primary, I choose a Republican ballot and cast my vote for Sick Rantorum.

When Rush Limpballs invented Operation: Chaos in 2008, unlike most liberals I didn't have any problems with his idea, it's simply good politics. Now, Limpballs hypothesis was flawed and his plan failed as Obama emerged stronger from the Democratic Primary and desicively crushed the McCain/Palin ticket.

However, Santorum's continued involvement in the 2012 Republican Primary is highlighting the massive flaws around Out-of-Touch Vulture Capitalist Mitt Romney. Romney doesn't know what to do. I'm certain Romney was assured that when he stepped aside in 2008 he'd be the nominee the next go around. Romney has been handed everything in his sheltered life it must be infuriating to Mitt that he hasn't been handed the nomination as is his birthright.

As for Sick Rantorum personally, if he was on fire, I would not piss on him, no matter how much he begged for it, to put him out. However, I would repeatedly hit him with a wet 2x4 to put out the fire. Remember I would do it to save Santorum.

But, getting back to my voting fraud. I moved recently to a different Chicago-area County however, I still "own" my home in a previous near-by county, as I still pay the mortgage, water, gas, trash and electric bill for my house. However, I get my mail at a different address and usually sleep at my new address.

When I went to the voting place, near my house I was listed as an inactive voter. Fortunately, I still have my bills which I showed to the election judges.

So... Did I commit voter fraud?

Of course, not. First, I'm not registered anywhere else, did not vote anywhere else and satisified the request for documentation. Second, I am a white male homeowner. Republicans count on winning the votes of myself and rich, white, male business owners. Poor people, minorities, students and women are known to vote overwhelmingly against Republicans. Hence, the Republican party has been involved in a decades long drive of Voter Suppression and Disenfranchisement.

Republicans and most Right-Wingers don't believe in Democracy. Matthew Vadum at The American Thinker clearly summed up the Conservative View of Democracy, in his article, Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American.

Registering them [the Poor] to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals. It is profoundly antisocial and un-American...

What they want is an Oligarchical system with a Strong Leader, basically Corporate Neo-Feudalism, in which the 500 or so elected DC bureaucrats use the coercive power of Government to crush Domestic Dissent, keep down the economic and political power of the Working and Middle Class, while opening up Foreign Lands for Exploitation.

Anything else the Government gets involved with the Plutocratic Right-Wing elite constantly claim is Unconstitutional.

But, how to convince the white working class and middle class peoples that Voting needs to be strictly curtailed and suppressed is a problem. So conservatives have hit upon the brilliant strategy of proclaiming an epidemic of Voter Fraud in the Nation.

This is, of course, a shameless out-right lie, but Conservatives have never let the truth or the lack of evidence get in the way of their Agenda. For instance, from Mike Tipping at Downeast.com, a Blog on Maine, we have the lies of Maine GOP Chairman Charlie Webster, who has been spinning tales of massive voter fraud since the 2010 elections.

Defending the passage of Voter Suppression Law LD1376, Webster declared "Buses. They bring them in in buses," said Webster. "Job Corps people -- they move 'em around to wherever they have a tough seat and they want to win an election." Webster's next move was to call a press conference and send out a release in which he announced (in all-caps) "TODAY I WILL BE HAND DELIVERING THE NAMES OF 206 INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY HAVE COMMITTED VOTER FRAUD HERE IN MAINE."

Instead what he presented were the names of 206 students in the University of Maine System that were paying out-of-state tuition and had registered to vote in Maine, something that's 100% legal.

This is all part of the Right-Wing game. Republicans can no longer win elections fairly in the US, they have to resort to Voter Suppression.

As Tipping summed up,

People like Webster engage in this kind of fear-based, fact-less sensationalism because it works and will continue to do so as long as it continues to work. The media should be our bulwark against this practice, not its enabler.

R. Limbaugh can't get it Up anymore

Mitt Romney's Cave-Troll

Flush Rush. Limbaugh is having problems getting his advertising back up. So Limpballs has pivoted to a new phase, proclaiming the Liberal Drive-by Media doesn't understand how advertising works and declaring his listenership is still at an all-time high.

Before laughing at the bloated turd, what is disgustingly obvious is R. Limpballs clearly gets off on insulting women and then having everyone talk about him insulting women. It's apparently the only way he can feel manly.

He's scum and he's been an impotent bag of smushed fat for decades.

His commentary, since his attacks on Sandra Fluke, clearly show he hates strong women and that he is unburdened by conscience, as he's attacked and lied about children, traumatized soldiers, and epilepsy suffers throughout his career.

But, Limpballs has a special hatred for individualism and strong women. Limbaugh's world is one which seeks to abuse, browbeat, diminsh and subjugate strong independent women. Limpballs doesn't want individuals he wants "ditto heads".

And everytime Limpballs would use his broadcast empire to lob some vile insult at a child he got satisfaction upon hearing his "ditto heads" and right-wing bloggers rush to his defense.

Degrading women and those weaker than he and having his asshole listeners defend him provided Limpballs the only thrill powerful enough to excite his desiccated "man-hood". Limpy is no longer quickened by oxycontin or by rubbing himself on 10-year old Dominican Boys.

Of course, the key important revelation in all of this, is that R. Limbaugh is owned and paid for by Mitt Romney,

Of course, by now most everyone is aware that Bain Capital - where Romney made hundreds of millions of dollars and from which he still receives millions - is co-owner of the company, Clear Channel, that pays Limbaugh his reported salary of $400 million dollars over eight years. Limbaugh even acknowledged this on his program, according to the conservative website "Daily Caller":

"I guess it's time for some full disclosure here," Limbaugh said Tuesday. "Bain Capital is one of - how do I phrase this? My former syndication partner was Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel Communications was taken over, bought out by Bain Capital and another private equity firm."

In the same article, "The Daily Caller" also noted that "Limbaugh disclosed his ties to Bain before defending Romney against the attacks coming from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich."

The website "Celebrity Networth" writes that "Rush broadcasts his show from a $26 million ocean front home in West Palm Beach, which has 7 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and an elevator. He also owns a penthouse condo on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan."  The site estimates Limbaugh's net worth at $300 million.

Quite the cozy 1 percent relationship between Romney and Limbaugh, isn't it?

Quotations from "Game Change" can be found on page 284 of the hardcover edition.

The unthinking nature of his ditto heads, as they Stand with Rush, means he's going to keep his listeners. But, we have a chance to make the Westboro Baptist Hate Church the only type who would advertise on his vile show. And when Bain Capital sees that no money is flowing into their Vulture coffers as they shell out $50 million to Limpy... He's vulnerable, "my friends"...

Maybe, just maybe we can squash this giant noisome turd. And while it's disgusting to be coated in his shit we need to keep the pressure on. Ask your local radio stations why they carry this bloated parasite. Tell the Pentagon to stop supporting this welfare queen on our Government owned AFRTS. Continue to send tweets, emails, and on-line petitions to any company which affiliates with Limbaugh. We can Flush Rush and maybe Limpballs will have the courtesy to go full Breitbart on us.

Rick Santorum obviously didn't learn anything in school

How is Sick Rantorum going to face down the Barack Obama supported Porn Kingpins in his Crusade against Ladyparts, let alone Al Qaeda, if 3 Hersey High School students in Illinois asking questions make his election chairman cry, “We threw him into the lion’s den — all three questions were negative,” Al Salvi said afterward.

What dastardly questions did those High Schoolers spring upon poor, poor Rick? Here they are:

Question 1 - “You recently commented on how you don’t believe everyone should go to college,” Becky Pauwels, 17, told Santorum. “Yet countries such as Germany and Japan, whose governments offer college to any motivated student, experience high rates of socio-economic mobility, which, by your own admission and all academic studies, is lagging in the United States." Since President Barack Obama proposes expanded access to college and training programs, how do his proposals differ from Obama’s, she asked.

Ricks Answer - "I didn’t say people shouldn’t go to college." Quotes and recording devices are part of Satan's plan to defeat Republicans!

Question 2 - “Your main competitor, Mitt Romney, donated 16.3 percent of his income to charity and you donated only 1.7 percent of your $923,000 salary to charity,” Vucicevic said. “Your explanation was that you have to provide for seven children, one of which has special needs. … How do you expect middle-class Americans who are in similar situations to pay for it? Isn’t your situation the exact reason why we need a universal health care system like most other nations have?” The auditorium erupted in applause at the question.

Rick's Answer - "No." If you were wealthy you'd be healthy...

Question 3 - Hannah Johnstone asked if Santorum’s economic policies weren’t “just giving the upper 1 percent more of the advantages they had under George Bush’s lower tax rates and deregulatory policies which is very similar to what you are proposing?”

Rick's Answer - 'Obama's Regulation is ruining the economy.' Nice Rick! Deregulation, privatization, lower taxes on the Rich spoken just like a servile genuflecting ball-gagged gimp of the 1%.

And in an explanation in his War on All things Woman, Sick Rantorum relayed, "I graduated from Carmel, which was an all-boys school."

Old Sick Rantorum hates higher education because even though he got 3 advanced degrees he's still a dunce.

Convicted Criminal James O'Keefe's accomplice breaking ranks?

Convicted Criminal James O'Keefe is the quintessential Right-Wing reporter of the Alternate Conservative Reality. O'Keefe is unencumbered by facts, truth, morality and legality in his pursuit to create "news" which can assuage and dupe the self-conditioning battered conservative voter.

Nothing O'Keefe has ever produced has shown illegal activities. All they have highlighted is James O'Keefe's squirmy, sleazy, sexually perverted, potential rapist nature. Even his furtive ACORN allegations ended with no arrests let alone convictions. However, James O'Keefe has been convicted of crimes.

And that leads us to Part I: My Time as an Accomplice to Convicted Criminal James O’keefe by Nadia Naffe.

I thought I could put the weekend of October 2nd, 2011 behind me. But it seems to keep popping up every time I look over my shoulder. The public is looking to me to connect the dots about what actually happened that evening which led me to file a criminal harassment complaint against James O’keefe in court.

It'll be interesting to follow her allegations and the Right-Wing reaction which will be to slander and smear the young lady for breaking orthodoxy, a little can be found here at the Mediaite story.

The sad truth is James O'Keefe is a mentally repressed conservative Bigot. All of his "Stings" have targeted programs or institutions which help the oppressed and minorities. But, even before he launched his Right-Wing Oppression Project, O'Keefe's views and those conservatives with whom he associated were easy to determine when convicted criminal James O'Keefe attended and was involved in a White Supremacist Forum held on August 30, 2006 in Arlington, VA.

From the article,

A DC area photographer snapped a photo of O'Keefe as he maintained a literature table near the panelists. At the time both [O'Keefe] and Marcus Epstein were Leadership Institute employees. Epstein, who eventually served as executive director for Bay Buchanan's the American Cause and for Tom Tancredo's Team America PAC, would be arrested almost a year later for drunkenly attacking an African American woman in the Georgetown area of Washington, calling her a racial slur and also fighting with her husband before getting stopped by an off duty secret service agent witnessing the attack. O'Keefe, who was still being listed at the time of the forum on the RU Centurion masthead as "Editor at Large" would eventually be fired from the Leadership Institute after he called a Planned Parenthood office pretending to be a donor who only wanted his donation going to aborting black babies, because in his words, "the less black kids out there the better." It was a ruse to catch Planned Parenthood staffers in an embarrassing situation, which it did, but it also embarrassed his employers at the Leadership Institute as well, and they let him go. Still, David Fenner, Vice President of Programs at the Leadership Institute said, "We don't say what our employees should do on their own time."

I wonder if this applies to women in his organization nowadays seeing as R. Limpballs and the Republicans in Arizona specifically want to see and know about women's sexual activities.

Republican War on Women enters the States Rights Lie Back and Enjoy It Phase

Just Close Your Eyes and
Think of Pennsylvania

"Just relax and enjoy it," - Texass Republican Clayton Williams

The Oppressive Totalitarian Right-Wing Crypto-Fascist War on Women gets worse everyday. We are now moving into the phase were the Right-Wingers will drill down into every level of society and government to advance their agenda of control and subjugation of sex and women.

Pennsylvania Republican Governor Tom Corbett echoed Clayton Williams when asked about a mandatory Bob McDonnell Memorial Rape Wand Law he requested be passed for all Keystone State Sluts, "I don’t know how you make anybody watch. You just have to close your eyes."

Defeating the Roy Blunt Amendment didn't end the issue as multiple Republican controlled states moved to advance bills in their State Legislatures accomplishing the same goal.

Arizona, that seething cauldron of bigotry and evil, rushed forward a bill allowing Business owners to interrogate Women about their Sex lives.

Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.

Lesko had the gall to claim,

“I believe we live in America. We don’t live in the  Soviet Union. So, government should not be telling the organizations or mom and pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs.”

First, Represenative Lesko, go Transvaginal Ultrasound Yourself! Second, anytime a Crypto-Fascist Republican uses a phrase like "I believe we live in America..." they are about to pass an incredibly destructive law designed to aid the 1% in their goal of destroying and oppressing millions of Americans. Lastly, despicable Arizona Republicans just empowered your boss to interrogate you on your off-hours activities to make sure you aren't doing something they find objectionable, like having sexy sex.

Besides Arizona, according to Talking Points Memo, New Hampshire, Idaho and Georgia have taken up bills to expand exemptions for contraception coverage. Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Idaho and Wyoming lawmakers are moving symbolic resolutions condemning the administration’s contraception coverage rule.

Remember how Right-Wingers "claimed" the denial of Birth Control was based on Religious Liberty?

Too bad for conservatives that Darrell Issa and the Republicans are so stupid they named their SLUT Hunting committee the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the contraception mandate instead of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on religious freedom. Oops...

Well, either it was a case of self-delusion or conservatives are shameless liars. Right-Wingers want to tell you what you can and can not do. Because they get off on controlling you.

From Carolyn Jones at the Texas Observer, comes the story of a woman forced to endure additional agony because a bunch of Right-Wing misoygnistic bureaucrats know that Rape Wands, a 24-hour waiting period and Doctors telling women lies about the after-effects of abortions will shame, degrade, humiliate and stop women from getting abortions.

Halfway through my pregnancy, I learned that my baby was ill. Profoundly so. My doctor gave us the news kindly, but still, my husband and I weren’t prepared. Just a few minutes earlier, we’d been smiling giddily at fellow expectant parents as we waited for the doctor to see us. In a sonography room smelling faintly of lemongrass, I’d just had gel rubbed on my stomach, just seen blots on the screen become tiny hands. For a brief, exultant moment, we’d seen our son—a brother for our 2-year-old girl.

Instead, before I’d even known I was pregnant, a molecular flaw had determined that our son’s brain, spine and legs wouldn’t develop correctly. If he were to make it to term—something our doctor couldn’t guarantee—he’d need a lifetime of medical care. From the moment he was born, my doctor told us, our son would suffer greatly.

This entire Right-Wing Assault on Women is a kick to the Uterus. And they aren't going to stop.

Especially not when you have Faux News willing to stoop so low as to claim all any American woman needs is a simple $9-a-day Birth Control from Wal-Mart lie. Which every Right-Wing blog and full of shit conservative picks up and repeats ad nauseum on every site and news story they can.

Why is it a lie? Conservatives always talk in giant sweeping generalities because when their inhuman policies are applied to actual American people in real world situations they fall apart. Hardly any woman at all can simply use the cheap junk grade pharmaceutical crap that Wal-Mart or Target peddles. This isn't like picking up some generic aspirin. But, why the fuck do conservatives who are supposed to be about choice in the marketplace demanding women only get access to one type of birth control, anyway?

Because this entire issue is one of control and oppression. Because Conservative thought builds these grand edifices on a foundation of shit and lies. When you actually apply Right-Wing theories to human situations they crumble and people get hurt. But, Republicans don't care because they don't represent 99% of the American People. Republicans represent 1% and that 1% only cares about oppressing the 99% to make Money.

It's just gross what the Right-Wing is doing.
