All for the 1%, Nothing for the 99%

"Louis, Louis...still whining after all these years! Have you heard enough of that...I have! I've been listening to it for centuries." - Lestat

The unceasing whine from the 1% has surpassed the angst ridden moping of Anne Rice's titular character from Interview with the Vampire.

“Acting like everyone who’s been successful is bad and because you’re rich you’re bad, I don’t understand it,” JP Morgan Chase and Co CEO Jamie Dimon recently complained to an investor's conference.

Dimon and all the Banking CEOs have not succeeded because of superior skill, work habits or ingenuity. They have succeeded by lying, cheating, swindling, obfuscating, and setting up a giant rigged system in which they knew they could be assured of riding the bubble all the way until it burst and then the bill would be picked up by the American Taxpayer with the help of their chosen defenders the Republicon Party and the Federal Reserve.

But you didn't think they were done did you? At that same "Investor's" Conference Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus was asked if he was worried about the impact of OWS. "Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus replied. Be sure to read all the quotes from those assembled at this conference; Rich Myopic Assholes are going to be Rich Myopic Assholes.

But, the 1% are never satisfied. Sears and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) successfully took hostage the State of Illinois and demanded a $350,000,000 ransom. The Illinois Legislature passed a measure giving the two Corporations the ransom they demanded. Now, do you think these two are going to invest that money into the State? Do you think they are going to hire thousands of new workers? Do you think they are going to lower prices to aid consumers? No. Sears and CME, the world’s largest owner and operator” of private exchanges for derivatives products, are going to take that money and give their CEOs and Boards millions of dollars in "bonuses".

But, don't worry aid is coming from the US Congress. Of course, it won't be in the form of a payroll tax break which would overwhelmingly aid middle class and struggling working class Americans. No, if there is anyone the Republicons love to be overburdened by taxes and debt it is the 99%.

The Republicons are going to make sure that Millionaires don't receive food stamps and uninsurance coverage. But, don't be fooled by this Republicon move. It isn't designed to curb fraud, waste or abuse, it is designed to get Americans thinking that food stamps and unemployment are wrong and no one should have them.

Conservative Fury! Senate Democrats to take away flavored Cigars

Democratic Senators, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut wrote FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg on Thursday urging her to ban flavored cigars. Brown joined by his Democratic Party colleagues Senators noted "these products pose a serious threat to public health" and "Flavored cigars are putting children's health at risk and increasing nicotine addiction and tobacco use among young people."

ROAR! You can pry my Hibiscus-Passion Fruit flavored cigarillo from my cold dead, nicotine stained fingers!

"Tobacco companies embody the adage ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,’" Senator Brown said in a statement. "From Joe Camel to tobacco candies and now flavored cigars, Big Tobacco is always trying to find new ways to hook young, impressionable customers—and those customers are our children.”

Faux News promoted this as more nanny-state regulation run wild and ran a story that The International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association authored a petition asking Congressmen, Senators and FDA officials to: Please don’t regulate premium cigars like cigarettes! Of course, No such petition to Congress would be complete without this type of language: And As an adult I want to make my own choices in life and not have a bureaucrat at the FDA making those choices for me.

Damn FDA bureaucrats! If I want to sell cigars soaked in formaldehyde shouldn't I have that choice?

People see what they what to see. Conservatives have created an alternate history for themselves with which they must view every issue as a left/right dichotomy.

It is incontrovertible that Tobacco Companies appeal to the youngest demographic possible, with the exception of those which cater to a different niche or audience. Thus what Senator Brown is saying is true "Big Tobacco" is always trying "to find new ways to hook young, impressionable customers". It's merely good business to get customers attracted to your product as soon as possible.

But what this really shows is those who are offended and up-in-arms over Nanny State Over Regulation have no idea what they are angry about, if they did they would know the main market for funky flavored 6-for-a-dollar gas station cigars are marijuana smokers. You see "dope-smoking criminals" remove the tobacco from the cigar, pack the now empty leaf with weed and have thus created a blunt.

So, if this regulation had been targeted against Hookah Lounges or Head Shops the reaction from Faux and it's bevy of conservative genuflecting sycophants would have been much different.

Brother, Can You Spare $10,000?

A Backup Yacht in Every Mansion A Proposed Campaign Slogan for Mitt Romney, created by Jerry Critter.

Lost among Mitt Romney's I'll bet you $10,000 dollars flub is the question; why is Romney even trying to run as a man-of-the-people? It makes no sense. Everyone knows he's a 1%er, is -- ahem, "worth" Hundreds of Millions of dollars, with multiple palatial mansions and is the son of wealthy politician. No one believes his "I'm unemployed, too" or "middle class people, like us" shtick. And besides Romney hasn't even been able to maintain his guise as a "Regular Joe". Half the time he's campaigning Romney touts his 'Job Creator' Class status.

You know Romney's business chops he likes to tout as qualifications for the White House? His work at Bain Capital, a private equity firm, Romney made millions on buying American companies and then selling off the assets, closing manufacturing plants and eliminating American Jobs. Take the Bain Capital acquisition of American Pad and Paper.

In all, Bain and its investors reaped more than $100 million even though Ampad went into bankruptcy, hundreds of workers lost jobs, and stockholders were left with worthless shares.

More recently, in Romney's magnificent Op-Ed Let Detroit Go Bankrupt, he wistfully longed for Americans to lose their jobs, blamed the UAW for the crisis and demanded Americans die quickly once they're done working to keep costs down:

First, their huge disadvantage in costs relative to foreign brands must be eliminated. That means new labor agreements to align pay and benefits to match those of workers at competitors like BMW, Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Furthermore, retiree benefits must be reduced.

Maybe because Mitt Romney has never known a day in his life when he didn't have access to money he's able to make these myopic and callous statements. Although Mitt does like to relate the hardships he endured in the late 1960's overseas. Oh no, I apologize for the confusion Romney never served in Vietnam! No, Mitt suffered and did without while on a 30 month mission in France.

Perhaps, in Romney's defense, when he was filling out his missionary card someone mistook his entry of "French-Indochina" for "France"?

So, how was Mitt Romney was living while busily avoiding Vietnam? The British paper Telegraph is reporting that in 1968 when Mitt was in France he lived in a staffed Mansion. Mitt no doubt commiserated with the Spanish chef and "houseboy" over his morning cheese, jam and croissant about missing coffee just like those Americans on patrol in rice paddies.

Mitt then spent the rest of his time trying to convince the French to give up Wine.

The GOP Sure is Queer -- And not only in the Good Sense of the Word [DownWithTyranny!]

Tim Tebow throws Christopher Hitchens into the Lake of Fire

But! He overthrows him and Hitchens runs free and clear. "In whatever kind of 'race' life may be, I have very abruptly become a finalist," Hitchens remarked last year upon learning he had cancer.

Christopher Hitchens passed away after a year and a half long battle with cancer. I read several of his works but, it's not like I knew him, so I can not say I'm sad. I enjoyed Hitchens passionate speaking and he struck me as what an erudite human can be given the access to and encouragement of higher education. I didn't like his Iraq War stance but I did love that he caused rabid American religious fascists mental consternation as they couldn't figure out how to reconcile his hatred of Islam with his hatred Christian Fascism.

However, it wouldn't be christian fascism if religious asses didn't use Hitchens' death as an opportunity to make smug statements about heaven and god.

Now, I shouldn't being making fun of Tim Tebow, for as much as I don't like his overt displays of piety at least he didn't use Hitchens' passing to make insulting comments about how Christopher is face-to-face with the almighty. Bill Bennett, supposedly a friend of Hitchens, didn't make a genteel statement or use the opportunity to say a short kind word. Nope Bennett, said, "And I hope as the big atheist that he was, he's in for a big surprise."

Classy. It's a standard move by right-wingers when someone they hate dies. It's a time for conservatives to level the most vicious insults at those who can no longer defend themselves. When Howard Zinn passed away in Jan 2010, NPR used the opportunity to get the raving flabby-assed, David Horowitz a reactionary chicken hawk anti-human punk ass bitch conservative who hates the poor and oppressed and loves war on to insult and slander Zinn preceisely because Howard Zinn fought for those crushed under the iron heel of anti-human conservatives.

However, Hitchens' passing highlight's one of the biggest problems I'm going to have when I prove there's no afterlife. Once I make it there and it doesn't exist there won't be anyone around for me to gloat over and Hitch won't be there to share a martini.

Merry Xmas the Iraq War is Over... Again

So, this is Christmas?

Mission Accomplished: "Major Combat Operations in Iraq have ended." - 05/01/2003

"Bring'em On!" - 07/02/2003

"They're in the Last Throes" - 06/20/2005

Saddam's Death - 12/30/2006

Right Wing Victory in Iraq Day - 11/22/2008

Conservatives have been declaring the Iraq War Over for years. When they thought it benefited them. Now, that the President is named Obama the Right has flip-flopped to calling the Iraq War "Lost".

Of course, it mainly stems from the alternate history the modern conservative movement has adopted. History is malleable to Right, if it's convenient to ignore the entire George W. Bush Presidency, the Right has shown themselves up to the task!

The Iraq "War" is over, finally. It was of no benefit to the US. It wasn't worth $1 let alone One Life! But, it was priceless for the Republicons.

The Republican Party used the War to win elections. That's the only winning the GOP ever really cared about. Even now Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum lament the loss of the war because they think it can help Republicans in 2012.

The GOP are the same as Saddam's Iraqi Republican Guard. They used War and violence to quell domestic dissent and steal Trillions of dollars from the American People. Because (Blackwater)(Xe)(Academi), Halliburton, Boeing, and the hundreds of Welfare DoD connected Corporations are the only ones who really benefited from this shameful debacle.

Newt Gingrich, a perfect amalgam of Hitler and Reagan

Newt Gingrich is a "viciously racist" Welfare Queen, Progressive Taxation Champion - Higher Taxes on the Poor, Lower Taxes on the Rich - composite of Adolf W. Reagan and Ronald Hitler all rolled into one big, fat, taxpayer subsidized maggot.

Newt, like all chicken hawk Republicans of his era abstained from Vietnam, but being a flabby-assed, weak-kneed, coward knew he couldn't hack it in the Real World. So Newt began running for a Government "Job" in 1974. Upon arriving in DC in 1978, Gingrich began his long career of comparing his political opponents to Neville Chamberlain, which contrary to what he "thinks" obviously makes Newt Hitler. Q.E.D. Godwin's Law really should be called Gingrich's Law.

Newt has even proposed The Newt Gingrich Youth. Gingrich called laws against child labor "truly stupid" and unveiled a plan so vile and so hateful, it not only puts poor children to work and eliminates their access to an education but, also takes jobs from struggling fathers and mothers.

During his time sucking off taxpayers Newt Gingrich's career goal has been to create Cargo Cult Conservatism. Republicons have been promising their duped and battered conservative drones that trickle down wealth is at hand for decades. All right-wingers need do is keep on voting for Republicans and the Rain of Wealth would fall on them.

In keeping in line with this cycle, Republicon Presidential Front Runner Newt Gingrich revealed his tax plan. Guess what? Just like with Herman Cain's ridiculous proposal, Taxes are higher on Middle Class and Small Business Owners than they are on the Super-Rich.

The Newt Gingrich plan, has a higher Federal Tax Rate for struggling Americans making $40,000 (12.7%) than for those earning over $1,000,000 (11.9%). Additionally, taxes on Income from Capital Gains would be eliminated.

Newt is a solid member of the Republican Guard, out to harass, harm, oppress and defeat the 99%. Gingrich proudly proclaims himself a "Reaganite" and his tax proposal is right in line with Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics. Screw the Majority of Americans and solidify the Transfer of Wealth up to the Richest 1%.

We've already seen that due to the Reagan instituted lowering of the Capital Gains tax rate, 50% of all Capital Gains profits go to the Richest 0.1% of the US. Gingrich's complete elimination would result in an even faster Transfer of Wealth upwards and accelerate the Income Inequality in this Nation to levels not seen since the Pharaohs.

But, Newt off-sets his vicious Neo-Feudalist Class Warfare by declaring he doesn't want to pay people for 99 weeks for sitting on their rear end. Oh wait, that's merely more attack the Poor Class Warfare! While, this rhetoric of not providing unemployment to anyone scores points with the duped and battered conservative voter, Newt Gingrich has never had a real job in his life.

Newt has spent 20 years working stealing in Congress and after being forced out due to rampant ethics violations transformed his DC Insider status into $60,000 dollar-an-hour speaking fees and peddling his influence to Freddie Mac for a cool $1,600,000 dollar kick-back. Gingrich is the epitome of the Republicon Welfare Queen. Getting paid millions of dollars by the Government for doing nothing.

To all the Republicon backers and all the conservatives out there you are clearly supporting a party which is anti-American. But, one of the most stunning achievements of Newt Gingrich, Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Phil Graham, Racist Limbaugh, Tom DeLay, Michele Bachmann and all the current 300 Republicon Bureaucrats is how successful their full-blown John Bircher assaults have been at transferring the blame and guilt for their rampant corruption, high crimes and misdemeanors to Liberals and the Left.

Update:
When one needs to grasp the full tenor and terror of the puffy-faced wide-bottomed champion of toxicity that is Newt Gingrich one need only level their gaze at the magnificent Driftglass: Where Were You.

Jesus! He is Risen! But where is He? Playing QB on the Denver Broncos or a Hedge Fund Manager on Wall Street?

"I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a *christian* quarterback do well. They're interested in *christian* coaches and *christian* quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in *Tebow*, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he really didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." - Racist Limbaugh.

Here's how you know conservatives are willingly blind to racism and bigotry. I altered Racist Limbaugh's derogatory reference from skin color to christian and changed the QB's name from McNabb to Tebow. As is easily observed, any comment about Tim Tebow which is not positive is attacked as anti-christian, yet when Limbaugh made this heinous bigoted statement about Donovan McNabb in 2003 right-wingers rallied to his defense.

The Chicago Bears just lost to Tim Tebow. Dan Bernstein of 670 the Score is quite upset over the tactics He used to defeat the Bears.

For 3 quarters the Bears defense had Tebow flustered. Tebow had completed just 3 of 16 passes had thrown an interception and fumbled. Tebow's passes were off (although 4 drops by his wide receivers wasn't helping) and his normal running style was replaced by a skittish one as Tebow discovered, unlike in college, he couldn't outrun or bowl over the likes of Julius Peppers. Lovie Smith then decided to employ the "Prevent Defense". As Mike Ditka once said, all the Prevent does is prevent you from winning...

But, Tim Tebow is not the first NFL player to make his faith central to his life off or on the field. Reggie White was a preacher. Deion Sanders is a minister and led prayer circles on the football field after games. Troy Vincent was once asked what book everyone should read and he replied, "The King James Bible because it is life."

Even in the Bears-Broncos game Tebow wasn't the only player who makes a big show of his faith. Devin Hester touches his feet, legs, shoulders and points skyward in order to get god's protection, "I just tell god to watch over me from the toes on my feet to the head of my crown."

And Reggie White, Deion Sanders, Troy Vincent and Devin Hester are all African-Americans, Kurt Warner dedicated his Super Bowl victory (but not his two Super Bowl defeats) to Jesus.

So, what is it about Tebow? Do people really believe that Tim Tebow is winning because of Jesus is watching out for him or aiding the flight of the football? I think the Tebow Mania and the way everyone wants this to be an issue is because some christians want to feel they are persecuted. These christians are making Tim Tebow a litmus test for the persecution complex they crave and the war on their religion they are engaged in.

However, lost amongst all this Tebowing, was the is a more egregious religious affront. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who recently conferred upon deadbeat Republican dad Joe Walsh, the title of #1 True Blue Pro-Family status wrote an article declaring Jesus was a Free Marketer not an Occupier.

Of course, the problem that Jesus lived 2000 years before the concept isn't really the issue. Because what Tony Perkins was actually writing about was a justification for the rampant theft and corruption by the 1%. Perkins, overplayed his hand, because the need to mention OWS and the term "occupier" in the title shows how frightened he is christians in this country will begin to side with the poor and correctly view #Occupy as a struggle against Oppressive Power and the corrupt system set up by those who wield that Power.

It's actually an old idea in christianity. The Poor Men of Lyons (Waldenses) were condemned as heretics by the Catholic Church and were eventually anathemamitised because they dared to question the Order of Society. The Waldenses meet the same fate as the Cathars in the early 1200's being chased down and brutally slaughtered by the Guardians of the Powers That Be.

Perkins ends his Jesus wants you to invest in sheep futures with the following:

Yes, we are to "occupy," not by railing against a free market system that rewards diligence, even though it is occasionally abused. Rather we are to occupy by using that system ethically as a means to advance the interests of the one we serve.

Got it? Jesus wants you to accept the Income Inequality, abuse of power and transfer of wealth. Focus instead on ethics, i.e. things which don't challenge the Economic Inequality.

Of course, what Tony Perkins is actually defending is Feudalism. Christianity grew along with Feudalist ideas. It's been a 1000 year struggle by powerful and wealthy christians to massage the meaning of christ into favoring the Rich and Elite. To turn Jesus from a rabble-rousing champion of the poor and oppressed into a scion of the Plutocracy and keeper of the status quo (Behold! The Gospel of Supply Side Jesus).

And today what the religious right have allowed themselves to become the marching foot-soldiers waiting for the opportunity to enforce the will of the 1% and oppress the Occupiers.

Joe Walsh v. Tammy Duckworth, any bets who conservatives will vote for?

"After much soul searching and discussions with my wife Helene, friends, and supporters, I am here tonight to announce that I will stand for re-election in the 8th district of Illinois. I am running for re-election to fight for those in my district who feel like they are losing their country." - Representative Joe Walsh (R-IL)

Joe Walsh is going to run against Tammy Duckworth, Wounded Iraq War veteran and former assistant secretary of Veterans Affairs, for the newly realigned Illinois 8th District in 2012.

Any bets whom Conservatives will champion? Of course, they'll back the disgraceful Joe Walsh.

I can't think of a bigger piece of garbage in the US Congress than Joe Walsh. Yes, even including Michele Bachmann. Everything we have learned about Joe Walsh shows he is interested in only one thing, getting money into the hands of Joe Walsh.

Walsh, first tried to make a name for himself as being the Tea Party candidate who called President Obama black. Then he worried that "American Jews aren't Pro-Israel enough."

Walsh outdid himself by going on a screaming red-faced tirade at Melissa Rakestraw, an Illinois resident and Postal worker, who dared to talk to him. Walsh screamed, "DON'T blame the Banks! I am tired of hearing that crap!" The "crap" being the truth about how the Banks and Wall Street collapsed the US housing market and turned the US economy into a giant gambling ring.

Rakestraw, later told Walsh, many returning Veterans work at the USPS, Walsh said he didn't care if Veterans lost their jobs as long as the Republicon plan to destroy the USPS was accomplished.

Walsh wasn't done. Walsh told a town hall he considered Veterans joining OWS and #Occupy protests "Anti-American" and "they don't understand this country." That would be Joe Walsh, ZERO days in uniform, ZERO days deployed.

There can hardly be a more illustrative example of the current conservative hypocritical mindset than Joe Walsh. Apparently, the conservative notion of supporting the troops extends only as far as the magnetic field on their yellow bumper stickers.

It goes beyond being the willing dupes for the Right or accepting Karl Rove's tactics of attacking a Democratic politicans' strength. Conservatives are the willing foot-soldiers to the Republicon Guard, and the willing slaves of the 1%.

The October 2011 Chicago Magazine showed the average sale price for the suburban homes around Chicago. Municipalities, like Palatine, Vernon Hills, Mundelein, Lincolnshire, Lake Zurich, in Joe Walsh's current Congressional District have all seen their 2011 housing value drop from 2010.

What Illinois residents have learned about Joe Walsh is the same thing his ex-wife and kids learned about him. Joe Walsh is a deadbeat who doesn't give a crap about the people he supposedly represents and is only interested in securing a job for himself sucking off taxpayers or working in DC as a lobbyist.

What's so awful about the 1%? Paul "The Vulture" Singer and Jason Barker provide the evidence

Paul "The Vulture" Singer is a disgusting criminal Hedge Fund Manager. Nothing more than a tawdry thief and the poster child for the 1%, old, greedy, criminal, without a shred of humanity or morality.

Oh, and Paul Singer is a lifelong Republican who is donating huge amounts of money to Mitt Romney and is the largest donator of money to the Republicon Party in New York.

It's not enough that Paul Singer is a man who destroys raids companies, closes US factories and eliminates American jobs but, demands to be lauded under the Orwellian/Luntzian title 'Job Creator', Singer the Vulture actually creates nothing but Misery and Death.

No, this is not hyperbole. Paul Singer is responsible for deaths of Congolese children from cholera. Cholera! An epidemic which can easily be stopped merely by providing people with clean drinking water! As of 30 August 2011, 5,666 cases of cholera and 329 deaths have been reported after the epidemic broke out in DR Congo in March 2011.

But, Singer is too busy using financial extortion to squeeze money from the region. Singer (through his Hedge Fund) paid $10 Million USC for "debt" incurred by the previous irresponsible Congolese Dictatorships then using that debt Singer is demanding $400 Million USC be paid, from the current government, and is holding up international assistance from the African people in the region.

This isn't the first time Paul Singer has used the suffering of others to turn a profit. Singer also infamously bought Owens-Corning out of Bankruptcy. Singer then used his Republicon Political connections to limit the amount of compensation American workers had incurred while working for Owens-Corning suffering from asbestos injuries to increase his bottom line.

This is Your 1%. Paul Singer, Hedge Fund Manager is a member of that small elite. They aren't creating jobs, who aren't funding innovations or "building a better light bulb". They are gambling, loan sharking and transferring electronic digits from one ledger to another. They make their money by accounting gimmicks and turning suffering into coinage.

Of course, the sickening Singer is furious with the intrepid BBC reporter Greg Palast who has repeated uncovered his "money-making" methods. Paul Singer, let the BBC know, "Paul Singer has been sued before," and "We have a file on Greg Palast."

But, Paul Singer will never, ever be blogged about by Andrew Breitbart. Michelle Malkin will never utter his name, Faux News will never acknowledge his evil deeds. Because Singer is a clear cut example the right wing dupes and ignorant conservatives refuse to acknowledge since it undercuts the entire philosophical construct the right wing has been forcing down the throats of the conservatives like so much bilge.

For instance, Bradley Schiller wrote an op-ed entitled "What's so Awful about the 1%"? This is what is so awful Bradley! Letting children die of cholrea. Profiting off of the misery of others.

But, perhaps Schiller is incapable of recognizing his myopic prostration to Power and Money and appears to be a product of self-conditioning.

It almost makes Jason Barker, Bank Examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, look tame. Barker, a bank examiner who apparently could not locate any of the $7.77 Trillion USC loaned and guaranteed to the Big Banks through the Federal Reserve system found enough time to examine his anal cavity by sticking his head up it, posted this on Facebook; "NYPD: feel free to crack some hyppie skulls for me! I work downtown and I what this crap to stop." after the NYPD busted up the Zuccotti Park Encampment.

Barker is just one of thousands of corrupted Bank Regulators who turn a blind eye to the System, to the rampant theft, and have accepted the evil 1% American Capitalist Ideal of Privatized Profits and Socialized Losses. Jason Barker's post shows he is simply mad that the 99% and OWS are alerting people to the rampant Wall Street Corruption before he has had a chance to transition from the regulation side and to the thievery side.

The 1% are nothing more than a collection of Murderers and Thieves.

Conservative Fury! Obama swoops down and reclassfies Fort Hood Massacre "Workplace Violence"

To the Right it's always President Obama's fault. On Wednesday Senator Susan Collins,

during a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.

But, the right-wing smear machine is taking it even further. Google: Susan Collins, Fort Hood, Department of Defense, and the first 4 pages will be incestously cross-linked right wing blogs, broadly proclaiming Obama Administration Classifies Fort Hood Massacre to "Workplace Violence".

I would say Breitbart's site is the most egregious offender but it's also the title for the often cited but not read Faux News story.

But, as always when dealing with conservatives, there's a flaw or a calculated lie involved. While all the Right-wingers are busily retyping their Obama Sides with the Terrorists quotes from 2008, 2009, 2010, the memo supposedly comes from the Department of Defense. So, I asked some of the conservatives for evidence of the DoD Memo signed by President Obama or the directive from the White House which authorizes this reclassification. Now, of course, I'm not going to get such a memo because it doesn't exist. But, the Right would never let the lack of evidence get in the way of their propaganda. So, instead, I've been treated to the standard chicken hawk right wing rhetoric; get a job, liberalism = terrorism, liberals are evil terrorist appeasers, Obama's a Muslim blah blah blah.

So this is right wing logic: During President Obama's tenure, when talking about military matters, everything good which happens is solely the result of the specific soldiers' action, everything bad which happens is the fault of Obama. Ah, but when the President was named George W. Bush, everything bad which happened was the fault of the specific soldier and everything good was the result of Bush's inspired leadership. Quod Erat Demonstrandum

This, obviously isn't a new right wing talking point. Conservatives have been claiming for years 'Obama <3 Terrorists'. But, latest this incident coupled with Mitt Romney's recent declaration President Obama has, "pursued a policy of appeasement' clearly indicates a new push that C-in-C BHO BFF=AQ.

Eat less Chick-fil-A Corporate Bully

Being stationed in CLNC (that's Camp Lejeune, North Carolina) for 4 years, one of the off-base fast food joints we had was Chick-fil-A. Their chicken sandwiches were decent, nothing to write home about, which is why I never wrote home about them.

However, before going into the specifics, let me ask you; When was the last time you mistook a quick fried chicken breast for a leaf of kale? Chick-fil-A is attempting to stop Vermont artist Bo Muller-Moore from using the phrase "Eat More Kale" because according to their bevy of Corporate criminal lawyers it violates their phrase "Eat Mor Chikin".

If Corproations are people, then Chick-fil-A is an ignorant, authoritarian, homophobic, self-righteous, chicken-shit bully with a cow udder fetish...

Now, to be completely fair the original founder of Chick-fil-A, S. Truett Cathy, appears to be an incredibly generous, hard-working and giving man (the opposite of the Ayn Randian Superman) as he spends time and gives vast amounts of money to charity.

But, just as Polybius described in the cycle of political revolution, once the goodly beloved king passes away or loses control of the realm (or in this case the Corporation) the small elite cadre which eventually takes over doesn't have the same benevolent aspects and descends into tyranny.

Of course, when the Mythical Age of Corporate Self-Regulation occurs we need not worry what a business like Chick-fil-A is doing because every cease-and-desist order or whatever they may be doing, it'll be with our best interests at heart.

Capitalism at it's Finest! $7.77 TRILLION for the Banking Criminals

Yeah, you suckers thought the $700 Billion TARP was bad. Turns out the Federal Reserve decided to funnel 11 times that amount to the Wall Street Criminals!

It dwarfed the Treasury Department’s better-known $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. Add up guarantees and lending limits, and the Fed had committed $7.77 trillion as of March 2009 to rescuing the financial system, more than half the value of everything produced in the U.S. that year.

Plus, over the last few years, the Fed and the Big Banks have been fighting to keep it hidden from the Public. In fact 3 years ago today Decemeber 5th 2008, the Federal Reserve allocated $1.2 Trillion to the Too-Big-To-Fail Banks.

Bankers didn’t disclose the extent of their borrowing.

$7.77 Trillion USC. This ridiculous sham is the Free Market? They call this massive amounts of Taxpayer Welfare Capitalism? The Banks then had the temerity to foreclose on injured veterans? The Bankers continued to claim that poor borrowers were the problem? And as the best and brightest these 'Job Creators' deserved the millions they've gotten as bonuses? Of course, the shameless Banks and their Criminal CEOs turned around and fought any and every effort to place any regulations upon them. American Capitalism is Feudalism.

A fresh narrative of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 emerges from 29,000 pages of Fed documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and central bank records of more than 21,000 transactions. While Fed officials say that almost all of the loans were repaid and there have been no losses, details suggest taxpayers paid a price beyond dollars as the secret funding helped preserve a broken status quo and enabled the biggest banks to grow even bigger.

The US Government has been transformed into the private slush fund of the Plutocracy. The 1% are not bought off anymore with the mere raiding of foreign lands, they want it all. And thanks to the tireless efforts of the Republicon Party and Corporate-Friendly Democrats they are going to steal the entire wealth of the United States.

Frank Luntz and Saul Alinsky on Compromise

"A society devoid of compromise is totalitarian. If I had to define a free and open society in one word, the word would be compromise." - Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals.

"Don't ever say you're willing to 'compromise.'"If you talk about 'compromise,' they'll say you're selling out. Your side doesn't want you to 'compromise.' Compromise says that you're selling out those principles." - Frank Luntz, Rules for Republicans.

So, whom does Luntz and the Republicon Party represent? The 1%, Wall Street thieves, criminals and vultures. "I Get It". It's despicable and it's obvious. Any right-winger or anyone who has not watched the Republicon presidential clown show with disgust and revulsion or hasn't seen the 112th Congress fight, obstruct, and pander for the Plutocracy is so blinded by propaganda as to be utterly lost to the human race.

But, right-wing blog comments are a pardoy on inteligent discourse as they boil down to a standardized list of shorthand rage and illogical conclusions. Merely mentioning Alinsky in this post would be enough to throw a conservative into a blistering red-hot rage and respond with the cliched short hand comments found on every conservative site.

However, there should seriously, be a simple numerical system for the unthinking automatic rightwing responses. It could go like this:

1) Obama is the same as Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot et al.
2) ACORN
3) Saul Alinsky!!!
4) Of course, by the Free Market
5) Occupooper
6) leftist fascism
7) Get a job!
8) Gingrich is soooo smart
9) Fannie and Freddie

and so on.

And then instead of worrying about deciphering and refuting the nonsensical comments from conservative trolls all you would need to do is reference the handy-dandy chart.

Rewording the Republican Class War on the American People

"Some would say that it's the Unions that have crippled the U.S. economy and led to the United States' debt..." - Gretchen Carlson, Faux News

Some would say it's time to declare War on Conservatives...

It is clear the Republicon Party has no interest in aiding the 99%. The Republicon Party serves two main constituents, themselves and the Richest 1% of the Nation. And to realize that goal they will do whatever it takes.

A conservative Think Tank, in this case the Heritage Foundation, puts forward a story that Poor People in America aren't really poor and viola, every conservative site re-posts the "findings" and now it's a fact that poor people are not poor and if you are it's your fault. Or as Newt Gingrich puts it;

“Really poor children, in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works so they have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day, they have no habit of I do this and you give me cash unless it is illegal.”

Not only is it your fault but you're probably a criminal anyway...

Scott Walker, the Republican Guard for the Koch Brothers, pushed through his anti-worker legislation and Wisconsinites rose up and demanded it not be adopted. Walker pushed through the 1% agenda anyway despite the protests. Now, having been denied their voice, Wisconsin has decided to recall him, so Walker has decided he doesn't care for the Bill of Rights either. Scott Walker has created policy that whenever a group of 4 or more people gather on the Capitol grounds they need to put in for a permit 72 hours in advance and pay in advance the cost for police presence (minimum $50/ hour) plus the clean-up costs afterwards. Free Speech isn't Free after all...

The Republicon Party is better called the Republican Guard because their job is to Guard the 1%. And the Republican Guard and their conservative henchmen will stop at nothing to harm America and defend their Moneyed Masters.

Rightwing shills are paid millions to flood the radio and cable channels with streams of bullshit to continue the Plutocracy's control. Mark Levin has nothing consturctive to offer and merely claims Harry Reid or Frank Lautenberg or whatever Democrat he wishes to attack is "suffering from dementia". And no it's not Medical Doctor Mark Levin or trained Pyschologist Mark Levin. Mark Levin is a a lawyer and like all the chicken shit conservatives infesting the US these days, after becoming a lawyer, Levin is a chicken hawk who went to work for the Reagan Presidency and has never held a real job.

But, while toxic conservative garbage like Mark Levin lay out the Right's anti-Democratic Party mantra it is up to the Frank Luntz to place the proper Orwellian Language into the mouths of Republicons to continue to fool conservative voters into supporting a political party of scoundrels, cheats, criminals and elitists wholly owned by the Richest 1% of this Nation

Frank Luntz admitted he is

“so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I’m frightened to death. They’re having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism.”

So, Luntz gets out and creates his Orwellian rewordings of the Republicon Guards policies. The 1% solution for the Middle Class; To Destroy the Middle Class and reduce the 99% to Servitude, Penury and Wage Slavery.

Frank Luntz advised them to move away from "capitalism" and say "Economic Freedom"! See, when you talk about trickle down economics don't say Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining say Rain Economic Freedom on the Middle Class.

But, don't say "Middle Class" call them "hardworking taxpayers."

“We can say we defend the ‘middle class’ and the public will say, I’m not sure about that. But defending ‘hardworking taxpayers’ and Republicans have the advantage.”

It's clear to Luntz that the American People know the Republicon Guard cares only for the 1%.

The 1%, the Establishment has always hated a thriving Middle Class because it upsets their power dynamics. For the first 100 to 150 years of the Nation's exsistence, the Plutocracy ruled and the wealth of the Nation flowed upwards into their hands. Now, thanks to help of their Republicon Guard the 1% have stolen so much and created the such an economic disaster for so many people that for the first time in decades We, the People have said enough. #Occupy and OWS have shifted the attention onto those who have engineered this Economic Inequality and Recession and the 1% don't like it.

Will enough lies, slander, smears, doublespeak and rewording of the on-going Classacre derail us?

Conservative Doublespeak

Conservatives love economic Freedom, that is the freedom to work longer for less pay in 'Right to Work' States.

Conservatives love the Right to Peaceably Assemble, that is for astroturfed false-front organizations to call the President a lying Kenyan Marxist Witch Doctor Muslim not for the OWS to point out systemic economic inequality and social injustice.

Conservatives hate Injustice but not the injustice of destroying ACORN via completely false, manipulated propaganda style videos.

Conservatives are always on the look-out for abuse of authority by Law Enforcement or the Government, except when it comes to police beating and violently rousting dirty-hippies.

Conservatives denounce the playing of the race card, that is until they get to play it. Seriously, though the Herman Cain allegations. I completely understand why Faux News, Ann Coulter, R. Limbaugh are in 100% support of Cain despite the disgusting, icky sexist behavior he has committed for decades, Cain has promised to lower their taxes by millions. But, why does any so-called family values conservative support him? Is it really as simple that he has identified himself as a (R)?

Conservatives Support the Troops, except when the Veterans get home and are left to their own devices, end up homeless, jobless, emotionally distraught and commit suicide, those Veterans get told to 'Get a Job'.

Conservatives always want lower taxes, except for the payroll tax which doesn't aid the Richest 1%

Conservatives love Freedom of Speech, that is the freedom to call the President a N-Slur, not the freedom to point out the facts that CEOs make over 300 times what the average worker makes, that's Class Warfare.

Conservatives pull themselves up by their boot-straps without any of this evil socialist assistance, just like Adam Carrola and Joe the Plumber, except of course Adam Carrola's mother received welfare and Joe the Plumber received welfare assistance, too. Typically, Andrew Breitbart's crowd picked up the recent Adam Carrola rant about OWS and now suddenly find him to be "refreshing", "epic", and his rant is "awesome dissection" which "nailed it" by a comedic genius!

Conservatives think actors, musicians and comedians should just "Shut Up and Sing", unless that actor, musician or comedian is a conservative, in which case they need to be given constant media exposure.

Conservative love the writings and philosophy of Ayn Rand, even though they've never read any of it and even though Rand was an ardent Atheist who championed abortion all throughout any pregnancy.

That's your modern conservative movement. So beset with obvious contradictions, shameless liars and evil charlatans that I can understand why Conservatives cling tightly to them. Because if the Right ever stopped to analyze what it is they are championing the opening of the Doors of Perception would cause a psychotic break of Galtian propotions.
