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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Republicans Are Everything They Say They Hate

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor ~ Guns N' Roses, Civil War

The Republican Party talks a big game about being the Moral, America Defending Free Market Capitalists but it's a huge put on to win votes. Republicans are Immoral, Chicken Hawk, Big Government, Corporate Socialists... Republicans have embraced everything they say they are against.

And many Americans continue to vote for and support the Republican Party who have whipped them into a state of uncivil discourse and use their displaced rage. Of course, some of those people call themselves Conservatives or Anarcho-Libertarian Free Staters but if you voted for Bush and Cheney and consistently tell yourself 'I have to vote for the Republican to cancel out that Loony Left Coast Liberals America Hating Vote' then you are a Republican.

The Republican Party doesn't care why you vote for them just as long as you do. In order to win your vote, they will lie about any and everything. They will claim superior morality, fervent religiosity, hyper patriotism, and Big Brass War Gonads. They claim to have all those attributes even when it's been shown they lack them.

The Republicans claimed to be the Super-Patriots who won World War III over the Soviet Union under President Reagan. So, let us suppose a person born in the Soviet Union denounced Ronald Reagan as a "massive fraud" unfit for command and then declared any who disagreed with that assessment to be Traitors. A Soviet! A Commie, A foot soldier of Nikita Kruschev denouncing the President and what does the Republican Party do? It's as if Republican Jean Schmidt is in bed with Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev in their criticism of an American President as Schmidt secretly whispers in the ears of her rabid supporters she agrees with Commies and is against the President of the United States. Jean Schmidt and the Republican Party are Commie Lovers!

The Republicans have enshrined a Soviet, Orly Taitz, as the Speaker of the Holy Word! A Soviet! The Republicans the Party of Ronald Reagan, Defeater of the Evil Empire are now in league with a Soviet woman who was formally rebuked and chastised by an American Judge.

The Strongest Pro War Proponents in the Republican Party are without a doubt the ones who had no intention of serving in the military themselves. When it came to fighting overseas and the prospect of strapping on, being shipped overseas and putting rounds down range Chicken Hawk Republicans have time after time shown they would rather not "Defend America" and let someone else fight.

Republican criminal Tom DeLay complained 'ethnic minorities had already filled all the slots' when he tried to enlist for Vietnam. Dick Cheney received 6 deferments from service during Vietnam, he had other priorities. Dick Cheney who gave interviews in 1994, when Bill Clinton was President, saying a long occupation of Baghdad and Iraq was a bad idea and not worth the casualties then belittled the Democrats for not defending America from Iraq during the 1990's. (Watch the video below).



The Republican Party is the Party of Superior Morality. Just ask any Republican. High Ranking members of the moral Republican Party denounced and Impeached Bill Clinton a Democrat. While the impeachment of Bill Clinton was occurring Leading Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was busy leaving his dying MS stricken wife for a new woman, who would become his third wife. This wasn't a new move by Gingrich who became an adulterer back in the 1970's and continued his entire time in Washington DC.

First term Republican Senator David Vitter, fresh from the backwaters of Louisiana, apparently brought too much country gentry with him when he entered the swamp of Washington DC because as soon as he got to the big city he began frequenting the type of "fast" women I'm sure his mother warned him about and his Campaign manager assured his deluded voters he was staunchly against.

Republican John Ensign who voted to impeach Clinton, cheated on his wife with a married woman who worked on his campaign and then tried to buy her silence by offering a hush money payoff.

The rabid infidelity of the Republican Party could then possibly be attributed to the morass of loose women available in Washington DC but...

On Father's Day Republican Governor Mark Sanford hiked the AT (Appalachian Trail)... in Argentina with a tan lined beauty. Of course, the AT isn't in Argentina and the beauty wasn't the mother of his children or his wife.

Disgusting Republican Mark Foley hit on underage pages. That is Male underage pages.

Republican Senator Larry Craig propositioned a male Police Officer in a bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Bush and The Republican Party voted to expand Medicare, a purely Socialist Enterprise, while they controlled the Presidency and the Congress. Now that Obama is seeking to Reform Helath Care they are waving the Bloody Red shirt of Socialism in front of their enraged supporters. But, don't expect the Republicans in Government to decline their Socialized Health Care, the access to is the only reason Dick Cheney is still alive, because if he did not have Socialized Medicine Dick Cheney would be dead, after having been denied all Health Care coverage for having a pre-existing heart condition. Of course, Republicans wouldn't dare vote against Medicare because then the old people who have been duped their entire lives into supporting the evil Republican Party would see the party cares more for profit than people.

The Free Market is the Great Equalizer say the Republicans. Without US Government interference the prices for everything in the US would be lower. Now this is a tricky one for me because I am for protecting American Companies from overseas ones but what the Republican Party is fighting to do, using the power of Government, is to protect the profits of those companies. The Republican Party fights against the individuals who actually work for these companies. This is why the Republicans will fight to keep drugs from American Companies the only legal ones, they charge higher prices than in Canada for the chemically same drug. This is why the Republican Party fought against the American Auto Workers and for the Foreign owned Auto Companies in Alabama, the workers are not allowed to unionize. The Republicans even support Foreign Companies over American workers.

Keeping Americans wages down is a by product of the number overarching one goal of the Republican Party supporting Corporate profits over people. This is why the Republican Party supports companies like Wal*Mart in shipping manufacturing jobs overseas where labor prices and practices are still inhumane. Republicans love it when people are worked to death for Corporate Profits.

This is why they ignored the southern border and allowed millions of illegal immigrants to stream into the US from Mexico and Central America. Those illegal immigrants can't vote against the Republicans but they sure can undercut wages for American workers and steal American jobs. When was the last time you saw a non-Hispanic working for a Lawn Maintenance Company?

So, the Republicans know all they have to do is tell you they hate Socialism, love morality and will protect America and you'll vote for them, even when they openly work against everything they claim the support...

Update:
Do I need to add in the section on Republican Party claims of Fiscal Responsibilty and Bush and Republican Spending Sprees? The $5 Trillion USC for War, the Bank Bailout, the 2007-2008 Crash which destroyed the last 10-15 years worth of Wealth gained by the American people?

Disrespect

"I must say, I'm a little envious," President Bush said in March 2008 to soldiers in Afghanistan. "It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger."

Yesterday was not the day to make any post on the futility of war or perhaps it was the exact day... But, I'll not show any disrespect to the memory of those who gave the last full measure overseas for "American Interests". Even though those in power seem to have no problem continuing the Bush Regime's policy of using and discarding Marines and other Troops for Interests.

9/11 is just another day now, thankfully, I'm not one to celebrate defeat. You reflect on it and try to ensure it doesn't happen again but how?

Well the REMFpublican Chicken Hawk Party of Deferments invoked 9/11 time and again to support their policies. Everything was tied to 9/11 including the necessity of keeping them in office. While the Bush Administration was in power, those who profited off of death made Trillions of dollars and anyone who questioned the Iraq War was accused of hurting the Troops and Treason against a sitting President. That second part is of course ignored now that Barack Obama is in office, "questioning" him during wartime and bringing loaded guns to rallies decrying his Presidency is now the height of Patriotism, of course, the money still flows to the architects of fear and death.



Lost in the homeland political squabbles is that average Marine. The Bush Regime and his defenders sought to quash all dissent by hiding behind Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors they also fought to shield the American people from the sight of any blood. Lest the people knew what their pilfered tax dollars were actually buying them.

The shielding from sight the cost of war was one of the lessons REMFpublicans Bush, Cheney, Tom DeLay and the Pentagon learned from Vietnam; to control the message coming from the battlefield. You can't let the American people see the consequences of the Warfare State. But, merely restricting official media members did not stem the flow of the ugliness and evil of War. Bans on cell phone cameras and soldiers blogs (until the blogs, like through amber lenses were silenced forever) were tried at various times while unceasing war propaganda was spewed by Chicken Hawk REMFers on Fox, CNN and every other news agency in order to ensure you Don't Mention the War!

The other lesson Young and Old REMFpublicans learned from Vietnam was let other people do the actual dangerous fighting abroad because their valuable pasty pampered flabby asses were needed to fight the propaganda battle at home convincing the American people of the costs, necessities, consequences, and benefits of war, while ensuring they would never fear having their balls blown off by an IED...

However, the Bush Administration did only a semi- effective job of hiding the costs of the war from the American people. Anti-war rallies were strong yet marginalized (Two-Thirds of the American people are against the war? So?) and the collapse of the US economy in 2007 was tied directly to the profligate war profiteering and Bush tax cuts for criminals who hid the money they siphoned off using Bush's government power into Swiss bank accounts. Of course, anyone who questioned Bush's competence was attacked as a traitor and faced daily Fox Attacks even while "The Decider" bungled Afghanistan, Iraq, the response to Hurricane Katrina, the economic collapse, the shrinking and battered American middle class, justice and the years from 01/20/01 to 01/20/09...

Now, Afghanistan is on everyones mind... Again. It's a fucked place. The area hasn't been effectively controlled since Tamerlane bestrode the land like a whirlwind of primal destruction. Since then it's been a crossroads of battle as time and again countries have moved into Transoxania in the pursuit of National Interests and the people have used the Panjshir Valley as a center for resistance against whomever the occupiers have been. But, controlling and administering the land should never have been our mission. It should have been Destroying AQ and killing Bin Laden and letting the Multi-Ethnic Peoples of Afghanistan figure out the rest. When it cam e to the kill/capture of Bin Laden the directed incompetence from the Bush Regime in failing the trigger pullers was detailed by the nome de guerred Delta Force Commander Dalton Fury who was given that mission, in his book Kill Bin Laden.

Delta developed an audacious plan to come at bin Laden from the one direction he would never expect.

"We want to come in on the back door," Fury explains. "The original plan that we sent up through our higher headquarters, Delta Force wants to come in over the mountain with oxygen, coming from the Pakistan side, over the mountains and come in and get a drop on bin Laden from behind."

But they didn't take that route, because Fury says they didn't get approval from a higher level. "Whether that was Central Command all the way up to the president of the United States, I'm not sure," he says.

The next option that Delta wanted to employ was to drop hundreds of landmines in the mountain passes that led to Pakistan, which was bin Laden’s escape route.

But they didn't do that either, because Fury says that plan was also disapproved. He says he has "no idea" why.

"How often does Delta come up with a tactical plan that's disapproved by higher headquarters?" Pelley asks.

"In my experience, in my five years at Delta, never before," Fury says.

Getting (Getting In, Getting Bin Laden, Getting Out) would seem to have been a better choice. Sure that plan may have failed and Afghanistan could have turned into another Somalia, or the Taliban could have reclaimed power or Gulbuddin Hekmatyar would have emerged as the next Dictator in the area but those things could happen even with American and ISAF forces in the country and we would be spared cowardly screes from Ralph Peters enticing the Taliban to kill captured US Soldier Bowe Berghdal.

And lest we forget Iraq is still festering threatening to burst forth with renewed violence after having been "won" so many times over the last 5 years just as Afghanistan has...

Trust the "Obama" Government?

And now, folks, it's time for "Who do you trust!" Hubba, hubba, hubba! Money, money, money! Who do you trust? Me? I'm giving away free money. - The Jack Nicholson, Batman (1989).

President Obama is not the Progressive Superman, a mythical hero fighting for social justice and against tyranny, hoped for and it's not that much of a surprise. Any politician who rises to the level of the Upper branches of the Federal Government can only do so via Matrix-esque Corporatist implants. Obama's no different in fact in continuing many of the previous president's policies he appears to be Bush-lite. The really disheartening thing for me is the Warfare State continues.

Marines are still dying and Americans still don't give a fuck except that they should be shielded from their deaths.

My chest aches at listening to the monologue accompanying the heartbreaking images of the LCpl Bernard but it's 1 of the 5163 dead Americans sacrificed for American Interests. And so few, seemed to give a fuck when any of the other faceless pumped their heart's blood onto foreign soil for Interests...

The Corporatist Kleptocracy cares more for money than blood. This is well known, that Obama allows this to continue is not an unexpected punch to the gut but a dismissive hand flip from the War Machine.

My own active involvement ended, thankfully, four full years ago, but my tacit approval continues to this day. It continues because I have a good (nicely paying) job now, a home, free time and a settled life... I'm too afraid to make any big waves which would overturn what I've got and that's the problem that's what the Government relies on. Because America is such a land of plenty, most Americans are comfortable with the status quo. My kid didn't die in Iraq, I'm not facing unpayable medical bills, I've got a Silverado and a 50" LCD, why fight?

Of course, Birther Teabaggers are making waves but only so Dick Cheney can regain power and he can continue their subjugation at a faster pace than Obama is pursuing...

Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?

The brainwashed mentally unbalanced Right Wing Extremist Terrorists and their Leaders in the Republican Party have declared President Obama to be the Enemy. As such everything The ObamaHitler does is Evil and part of his Islamo- Nazi-Socialist plan of Indoctrination and America Destruction.

The President ObamaHitler wishes to address America's School Children? Watch Out! It's Marxist Propaganda! He'll beguile the American Children with his Dark Arts, a clear gaze, non-blood shot eyes and unstumbled speech will surely cause the Youth of America to turn on their parents and strangle them to death with the American Flag while flushing their AR-15's down the toilet.

Just listen to poor white mother Shanneen Barron fear the day the Obama will come into her children's lives and turn them into godless communists! Next Obama might have the temerity to look at her and her children!

Here's another typical ignorant mentally unbalanced Right Wing Extremist: Obama builds shadow organizations with socialists, terrorists and anti-Americans all with known history of subversion, and how in the world did they ever get by FBI screenings? Yes, John King from Gurnee how did they get by FBI screenings? Surely, Sean Hannity knows better than the FBI?

Ridiculous. The Right Wing Extremists declared they would not negotiate they are intractable and they want their country back. The ignorant Rage, the fear-monging, the put grandma to death rhetoric has moved a small vocal mentally unbalanced section of the American people into the position to Choose War and oppose Health Care. To be Pro-Torture and Anti-Stay-in-School...

However, perhaps Obama should not read anything to school kids, doesn't anyone else recall what happened the last time a President read* to School children?

*- I take that back I forgot Tipsey Canoe can't read...



Addendum
Of course, it is noteworthy Obama's short one time speech will surely turn America's Youth into Marxists immediately, but the hours of Sean Inshannity and R. Limbaugh declaring Obama to be evil aids the Terrorists and literally wants to destroy America have no influence and couldn't possibly be to blame for the Right Wing Extremist Terrorists who want to murder every Liberal in America, attack Holocaust Museums and ambush and assassinate Police Officers...

Health Care Party Platform or C'est La Vie

The Republican Party platform can succinctly be defined as We Care More For Our Possessions than You People.

They can't hide their hatred for the Poor and Middle Class. It's not even hidden in their claims about Health Care Reform, to wit Democrats are trying to Destroy the Best Health Care System in the World. The System is Sacrosanct and Supreme if a few 47 million people fall through the cracks well C'est la Vie...

Americans and those trained by American Medical and Nursing Schools are without a doubt the brightest, best trained and hardest working practitioners in the world. That's the People.

The System? The System which gouges you, which bankrupted GM and which is consuming more and more of every Americans paycheck is a fucked up morass of drug dealers, paper pushers and lobbyists who are merely a small cog in the machine or work to keep the big picture from being understood by Americans and want to wring as much money as possible out of the pain and suffering of the American people.

Now why would the Anti-People Pro Human Pain and Suffering Republican Party (and Insurance pocketed Democrats) want to change the system? They don't because the money being made is more important than the people being mistreated.

For instance, read about Betsy McCaughley who jumped back into prominence with lies, false declarations and incorrect statements about Obama's attempt at Health Care Reform.

Yep

“I reallly do think that the Michele Bachmanns of this world and the Glenn Becks of this world are actively and consciously — or subconsciously — trying to get — I’m just going to say it — trying to get the president killed,” Savage stated angrily. “That’s why they’re setting this up as kill-or-be-killed arguments. ‘He’s going to kill your grandma.’” - Dan Savage tells Keith Olbermann what Michele Dump Bachmann is trying to accomplish.

Michele Dump Bachmann publicly declares she hears voices in her head. C.S. Lewis created the tri-choice of Liar, Lunatic or Lord, so let's apply that to Bachmann.

Whose voice do you think she's hearing:

Is it The Lord?
Is it Her own and she's lying claiming it's god?
Is it someone else's voice and Michele Bachmann is a Lunatic in need of electro-shock therapy and heavy doses of anti-psychotic medications?

Update:
M. Dump Bachmann explained It's all the Democrats Fault! They're Out To Get Me! They're Coming To Take Me Away, ha-haa! "They're doing everything they can to, I think, sabotage women like Sarah Palin, perhaps women like myself..." [Talking Points Memo]

Look at Poland over there, wearing such a short fucking skirt with her ass all hanging out and her tits in my face

If you were Wealthy you'd be Healthy

That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above...


Hey poor people? I've got some bad news for you... It's your own fucking fault you're poor. And because you are poor when you get sick well too fucking bad.

The Healthcare Reform debate is rooted in the idea the poor are that way due to their own failings, their lack of moral fiber. If god or nature wanted the poor to be wealthy and healthy they would be, but since they are not well then... It's Pre-Destination, Calvinism, Social Darwinism and Welfare Queens again. It's the Myth the Rich got that way due to their inherent merit... And why should the best and brightest, The Rich, pay for your pre-ordained immorality? Indeed forcing the Meritorious Rich to pay for the Poor is the height of evil and as Michele Dump Bachmann* stated "This is Slavery".

Now that we have once again established the hierarchy of Morality with the Rich on top they needed a way to coerce enough of the middle, who think they are rich living off of the Piss Down You Back trickle down American economic cycle, to get up in arms (literally), form a Dump Bachmann 'Wrist Slitting' Death Cult Covenant and threaten violence if any reforms are attempted. So they choose Sarah Hot and Palin to warn America about her baby Trig and your Grandma being put to death by ACORN-SMERSH Obamannist Death Panels.

This is merely the underlying message. The battle for Healthcare is actually being waged by the 250 or so Republicans and Democrats who are in the pocket of Pharmaceutical Giants who reap huge profits from selling their legal drugs.

Recently, I had to transport a young man to the Hospital near my town who I arrested for an Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer. His injuries in the scuffle were minor but I learned he took Seroquel for bipolar disorder. Seroquel is the AstraZenaeca name for the chemical Quetiapine. He didn't have any meds with him and hadn't taken them for days, and my department procedure and County law dictates all arrestees must have received prescribed medications prior to being turned over the the Sheriffs Department for holding awaiting trial. I looked up Seroquel, which according to the AstraZeneca Annual Review 2005, "...with $2.8 billion sales in 2005, further strengthened its position as the most prescribed atypical anti-psychotic therapy..."

Total sales for Quetiapine was over $4 billion.

It's the Money.

The Billionaires for Wealthcare understand perfectly the Status Quo needs to be maintained.

How to Beat Torture

Is Using A Minotaur To Gore Detainees A Form Of Torture?

Torture's back in the news because Dick the Pimp and Liz the Prostitute are out pumping the media and angrily defending war crimes on TV again.

The Republican Ticking Time-Bomb Scenario is easily countered. Any terrorist actually tortured, in the scenario, need only steel themselves for a short time and then provide false information.

For example, let us say you have knowledge a bomb is set to go off in 1 hour in LA or NY, if the bomb planting terrorist can hold out for 30 to 45 minutes and then pretend to succumb and provide you with the location of the bomb, the group will go off running 24 style to the wrong location as the bomb explodes in the other location.

To back my argument in the Mel Gibson MOVIE Payback. The crucial torture scene (in the Gibson cut of the film) has Gibson's character "Porter" undergoing a ball-peen hammer to the toes pretending to break and giving false information (in a sincere way) in order to send the torturers to a wrong location.

The Republican Pro Human Pain and Suffering Right Wing Extremists seem to think the prospect of wanting the torture to end is what is motivating the terrorist and don't seem to understand a committed terrorist has no expectation of survival. But, the major mass casualty attacks used by Dick the Pimp to justify his war crimes have usually ended with all the terrorists dead because they knew going in it would be a suicide mission. (See as examples the Moscow Nord-Ost Siege, the Beslan School Hostage Crisis, Mumbai Terror Assault and Dick Cheney's massive failure 9/11) Torture designed to inflict pain is used because the Torturer thinks the Tortured is worried about ending the torture with the mindset of living to see the future.

And then there is John McCain. Senator McCain proves some people are strong and crafty enough to give a false confession using information which the torturer thinks may be true. Although, I could be wrong about false confessions and all those people tortured by the Inquisition actually were Witches, flew around on brooms and were in League with Lucifer.

Of course, some sadistic fucks torture for the sheer pleasure of inflicting pain and tormenting the infidel and enemy. This describes most of the Right Wing FreeRepublic Extremists who are pro-torture.

Inscribe his name in the Veteran Book of Death

See, that's the difference between a great investigator like me, and a piece of Spam like you. Spam? You're a piece of spam. That's what I think of you. No, I call you a piece of spam, cause that's what you are. ... Spam. ~ Ed O'Neill and Andrew Dice Clay discuss an epistemological self-evident proposition in The Adventures of Ford Fairlane

Obama wants to kill Veterans, or more specifically he wants them to kill themselves to save money or benefits which he can give to ACORN Thugs. The Veteran 'Death Books' premise was advanced by Jonah Goldberg and trumpted by Sean Inshannity to Michael Steele on Fox Propaganda. Goldberg is famous for his well accepted theory that Nazis are Liberals because the Nazis were environmentally sound and tolerant and accepting of homosexuals just like those Liberals of today Michelle 'Jesus Saved the Planet Already' Bachmann and Rick 'man on dog' Santorum. 

 The epistemological self-evident proposition Nazis were Leftists because they had the word Socialists in their title and the Democrats of today are Nazis because they are Leftists (when we just proved that Leftists are Nazis) is tantamount to the proof the Chicago Bears are made up of actual Grizzly and/or Polar Bears because they have the word Bears in their name. Jonah Goldberg is the rising doughy conservative chicken hawk star, who was guest lecturer at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Young Republicans All I am Saying is Give War a Chance in which he; (joined) the UMass Republican Club for yet another lively and edifying political discussion on the costs, necessities, consequences, and benefits of war. 

So, Obama is to blame for Veterans neglect and wants Veterans to kill themselves. Even though President Obama has increased funding and expanded benefits for the VA he hasn't done enough to stem the tragic rate of Veterans suicide, but the criminal malfeasance and neglect Bush showed to Veterans for years was actively defended by the Republicans and their Right Wing Extremists Supporters. It was turned into a point of strength used to attack the patriotism and denounce anyone who was anti-war for hurting the Troops. The Bush Regime knew it could get away with passively and actively ignoring Veterans care and actively underfunding the VA because society would accept Bush's I love the Troops rhetoric and staged performances using Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors as back drops for his Let's Have More War Speeches. And pudgy Jonah never quite got around to calling out the Bush Regime in 2005 when the Pentagon's undersecretary for personnel and readiness, David S. Chu stated, Veterans benefits are hurtful to national defense: "The amounts have gotten to the point where they are hurtful. They are taking away from the nation's ability to defend itself." 

 Or in 2008 when CBS News revealed the Department of Veterans Affairs and Doctor Ira Katz the VA's head of Mental Health deliberately withheld critical information about the true suicide risk among veterans. Or when NPR reported Army officials pressured the Department of Veterans Affairs to stop helping wounded Veterans with their paperwork so Veterans wouldn't get their proper disability rating or benefits. But to Right Wing Extremist Chicken Hawk Scum like Hannity and Goldberg, Veterans are only useful when they can use them to attack Democrats.

Turning the US Congress into the Sejm

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

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

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

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

Got A Gun Kill Some Women

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You still have made a choice

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

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

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

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

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

Republican Intentions

Surely, I have made my meaning plain. I mean to avenge myself upon you... KHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

With the ever shifting political winds trending away from them the Republican Party, their lamprey-esque Toxic Commentators and their ignorant abused followers have taken the political rhetoric to it's final conclusion. Obama, the Democratic Party, and anyone who supports them are Nazis.

It began as Obama's candidacy overtook Hillary Clinton. To their consternation the Fox led Propaganda of Obama is the most Liberal Senator in America didn't work to unseat his popularity and push to the White House.

The dialogue then moved to Obama is a Socialist, but that failed because the young and newly voter eligible were zygotes when the Berlin Wall fell and the USSR ceased to be a winning rallying device.

Penultimately, the Republicans resorted to the ignorant wretch with gams Sarah Hot and Palin. While she kept a victory possible by casting come hither looks her inability to speak coherently ended up not aiding the Republicans. Although Sarah did manage to promote the Obama is a Terrorist theme. Interestingly, the Obama Pals Around with Domestic Terrorists who Target their own country seems especially silly now that the Freepers, Birthers, Teabaggers and Death Panelers are cheering on a Second American Revolution which would of course, require the targeting of their own country...

So, what to do? Well, the last stratagem is to invoke the only group to be assured to be always consistently associated with abject evil; The Nazis.

And therefore, Obama is Hitler.

It really can't go farther than that, well, except for the Obama is the Anti-Christ, discovered by the great site Crooks and Liars.

And there is nothing Obama or any Democrat can do to appease the Republicans. They set themselves upon this course when it became apparent Obama was going to win. The Republicans Scorched the Earth and Spiked the Wells.

No One shall have the sword. No One Shall Wield Excalibur... But ME! ~ Gabriel Byrne as Uther Pendragon from John Boorman's Excalibur

The main reason for the constant unceasing declarations of Obama is Hitler and the Democratic Party is the Nazi Party from Elected Republican Congressmen, Sarah Hot and Palin, R. Limbaugh, Sean Inshannity and the lesser known Toxic Commnetators is the hope the threat of violence will lead to Republican Victories in 2010 and 2012.

But, more distressingly the underlying Republican message is, in case of defeat, one or more brainwashed emotionally disturbed Republican supporters will turn to the Bullet Box and has the moral right to "forcibly remove" Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and any other Nazi Democrat as needed to save America.
