The Republican Way: Keeping Everything The Way It Is
Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 06:46:20 in Politics
“Action? From American pols? As in off their butts and into the streets with candles and gas masks to face the security police? Take a risk for freedom and democracy when there's a great Dancing for the Stars on tonight? No, I think Americans are gleefully ignorant, proudly illiterate and happily enslaved by their corporate masters. The Sec of Education gave a talk recently in which the point of our education system was made: create happy workers. I kid you not! Not future CEOs, not President or Senator. Our children are being taught to be happy workers. Does anything piss American parents off except a commercial during their favorite reality show? We are being domesticated! Geez I wish exclamation points made my voice louder... it's real, it's dangerous and it's an American President who is owned by the Party, who works for Halliburton and Blackwater but never for we the people. Hit the streets or drink the koolaid, there are but two choices coming.”

Meltdown: Images of What We Lose When the Glaciers Disappear

“Well, people who live near the Atlantic shore will have to move to higher ground. Think Florida, 2/3 under the ocean. Would you suggest they learn to swim in their living rooms? Or move to higher ground. They should move to higher ground. You know who else? the American government sits at or near sea level, and if we get a 12' rise in water we lose the Capitol and many of our monuments end up as islands. We should move Washington DC to someplace sensible like Benson Missouri.”

“Your numbers may be good but incomplete. For instance you could describe how many calories it takes to boil a pot of water, but how many does it take when the water is already at 99 degrees? Not so many... Now try to understand that there are many gases in the atmosphere besides CO2, and many of them also tend to hold in heat. Add all those gases up, melt the ice caps, add the pure water to the salty oceans, changing them to less salty and therefor acting differently, flowing at different depths... the caps are darker because they aren't covered with ice so they reflect less heat back... and recall that many countries can't have as much agriculture because the weather is more chaotic and less predictable so the people drive cars in the city to their factory jobs even tho their fathers were farmers. It's very complex, much more than taking somebody's figures on gases in the air and crunching them in a simple formula x-y. What we are getting is more and more energy in the atmosphere creating wild swings of weather plus a slow creep of warmer weather here and there and more cold weather other places. How about this: Siberia becomes a wheat field, Florida disappears under the waves, New York's subways and utilities flood while 2/3 of America get a drought that lasts centuries and Europe gets even colder and wetter, and Africa becomes a dry, dead, continent.”
The First Ten Lies from Going Rogue

“Sarah didn't want to be VP. Like everyone with two working eyes she saw McCain was fading fast. She wanted the White House! AND all those unlimited powers Congress gave George Bush: the ability to do anything anywhere to anyone in the world if the President says so. In a historical sense this is called converting a Republic into a rotating dictatorship. Very typical of a fading empire. Sarah herself is also very typical, not unlike Caligula in Rome. If she had the WH we would see concentration camps for queers, forced religious conversion and school books being replaced by her book and the Bible. Yes, I believe she is capable of great evil. Instead of laughing at her we should fear her and her followers.”

“You sad, ignorant puppet. George Bush tripled the debt, Obama inherited the debt. George sent us into two wars at once, borrowing from the Chinese like a drunk at happy hour... actually exactly like a drunk with a new credit card. It was George who abandoned New Orleans, George who sent men into battle without adequate armor and weapons. George bankrupted America and now Obama is simply trying to mop up the blood. Sarah is a lying fool who sees a way to make a pile of money by doing exactly what she does best: NOTHING BUT SPEAKING LIES. I just cannot understand how you can listen to drivel, incomprehensible prattle and see intellect there! She has no concept what the world looks like, where the countries are, what cultures exist outside Alaska. But she is greedy and has always managed to show some skin and get her way, you becha. Well I am not impressed by a stupid broad speaking a mashup of the English language, especially when rich men want to put her in power. It stinks like a 3 day old dead moose.”

“I refer you to the essays of Mussolini in which he explains "fascism" and points out that it should be called "corporatism" because it consists of a merging of big government with corporations and then he combines this with religious zeal. Big religion, big business, big government: exactly what the Republicans are promoting. They claim to want small to no government but when you examine their literature you find that they simply reassign governmental functions to corporations. That's why there are/were more mercenaries in Iraq than American troops. Halliburton thugs had better armor than the Army. Now please note that the Democrats are also all for Corporatism, as long as we don't call it Fascism. Thus it is that we live in a country run by fascists, only fascists and only one political Party. Freaking great.”

Sean Hannity's Act of Neo-Contrition
Commented Nov 13, 2009 at 06:33:42 in Media
“How hard would it be to require "news" shows that advertise themselves as broadcasting actual news but actually put out lies and distortions of reality to have large disclaimers at the beginning of the show and at the beginning of segments following commercials that the show is not reality, but political satire or propaganda (call it what it is)? Free speech is not free. If you are lying about the President you threaten national security and under the Patriot Acts Obama has unlimited power to do anything to anybody anywhere to fight terrorism and keep America safe (strike up the band). Use those powers to keep America safe from lying jerks who keep insulting our intelligence. Stewart has actually been, by and large, far more a news show than Hannity and Beck and he calls it a comedy show. Force them to actually label their lies as such, or get off the air, which as I understand the FCC's powers belongs to the government now. With all due respect to our darker brethren, call a spade a spade!”

Leadership, Obama Style

“Error of his ways? No, not when he's the President of the United States! It ain't "his" way any more, not for four years. It's all of us in the same basket and this very nice man is skipping through the forest on his way to Grandma's house. This is not good. A large number of wealthy, well placed neo-nazi types are using the Party to destroy a Presidency. They even have said it out loud on TV and in print, and he still wants to ask them for directions. No, he's not worthy of the position we find him in. He might make a good cabinet member. BUT we also need to recall that they only allow us two political parties, two candidates now and the other people we could have chosen were actually far worse than Obama in so many ways. One word: Liberman. he's not the only traitor in America.”
A New Wrinkle in the JFK Assassination Story

“"responsibility is in God's hands." You mean you think God killed Kennedy? I mean that is a huge cop-out! In theory every single conspiracy in history is God's responsibility, as is the Universe and life and light.... But your first sentence presents a major premise with no evidence to back it up. Were it "certainly evident" there would be no discussion today. "Only the government bureaucracy..." the single most inefficient way to get anything done: a committee. And you think that method kept a valuable secret all these years. No conspirator in America would pass up a million dollar book deal with Oprah if they had any evidence! Hell, they would make evidence up! Which they have, many times and it all falls apart. I guess you people just have never known a real psychotic. Oswald was psychotic. That's all it took. One psychotic, one rifle and a handful of bullets. Oh, and a President who thought he could deflect bullets with a smile, thus eliminating being careful.”

“"with no apparent motive..." ummm you don't think some extreme thinking newspaper-clipping fruitcake might not want to kill somebody important in order to bring meaning to their sad little lives? Maybe they felt betrayed, even persecuted. If Oswald had a gang of true believers he might have robbed banks like Patty Hearst instead of going after the President. Look at our situation today: and entire political party is willing to destroy America in order to bring down a Presidency and take over power. Who could believe that Lincoln's party would spread lies, stir up hatred against our President and risk assassination attempts just to seize power for a few years? Unless they plan to kill Obama and then suspend elections for a few generations to protect the voters.....bring in Cheney....”

Oswald was certainly part of something bigger (that's why Ruby was shot) and Sirhan was too in my opinion. It was all about getting Nixon into the whitehouse so the Bush clan could do whatever it was they did during those days in the CIA.”

“Chopin, I really like your music but your logic is "funny". There must be a major premise I'm missing. Looks like you're saying it's impossible to be in a powerful position without making enemies. But the "has no reasons..." I can't follow. If you can't make powerful enemies you shouldn't be president? But what if a person wants to be president to serve the people, all the people, and that is their reason for wanting the WH, enemies have nothing to do with it? It just sounds like you're suggesting people run in order to have those powerful enemies, and I can't get my head around that.”

“You have a point. Maybe my explanation was not too clear.
Being President of a large country with powerful competing interests is about the exercise of power --- the power to change things, to butt heads against VERY VERY entrenched money interests, or cultural attitudes, who want to make things fit their own PRIVATE agenda, at whatever the costs to the public.
Take for example what's happening today. Can you imagine if President Obama is determined to serve interests of the vast majority of American people, to muscle through a strong public option or single-payer national healthcare system (that logically would deprive the insurance cartel of literally trillion dollars worth of long-term profits that are being syphoned out of the public sector into private hands) would not make deadly mortal enemies? That's just one example.
All powerful presidents are keenly aware that they are mortal. But to carry out a people's mandate to defend and promote the public interests against powerful determined private interests would inevitably focus that courageous struggle within the mind, heart and soul of one man (or one woman someday). Powerful enemies come with the territory.
A president more oftentimes than not have to decide in the deepest part of his being whether to go with the flow and let powerful forces shape him, or to go against the flow of powerful forces to shape history. That's what it's all about.”

“anymore??? read the letters of Tom (slave shtupper) Jefferson and Jim Madison. They were quite clear about their concept of "we the people". AS far as privileges, rights and political power, our national founders felt only white, male landowners should be permitted participation in government. The masses were so ignorant and uncivilized that they had to be excluded from making choices in government. We never called the shots, we didn't even select our leaders. They were chosen by the top men in the political cartels (parties).”

“Yes, I choose to say all of us speak with some sort of accent. I should have been more clear that I was comparing Ms. Huffington and Walter: different sex, different ethnicity, different media, but all professional, educated and concerned for people's welfare. I have a funny mixed up accent myself, having been born in Kentucky, raised in Arizona and migrated to New York. I am told it's a decidedly western tone with occasional clips of other accents tossed in. Accents are like fashion accessories, taking nothing away from the overall persona but adding just a touch of color, a flash of sparkle. and when I say "color" I am not referring to skin tone....sigh.”

“I think Ed was slightly embarrassed by an adult viewpoint. To tell you the truth, I didn't give a rat's behind that a six year old boy might be in a balloon. My 35 year old son is in a brain injury facility for the last nine years trying to at least move his eyebrow. Nobody from MSNBC has thought that our story might be significant. It involves health care, Medicare, and neuroscience advancements. If you don't think brain injury is important don't forget the 12,000 military survivors of traumatic brain injury coming back from Iraq! Will they get any better care than my kid? Seriously, nothing in the "balloon boy" story needed to be told, it had NO impact on anybody but the family and the local law enforcement.”
Has the Military Mission in Afghanistan Become Lost?

“Read your world history, son. Afghanistan sits on valuable real estate if you need to go to war in the region, like to invade Iran. It is also very handy for people putting in natural gas lines from sources in the old Soviet union. The opium is only important to the CIA, who use it to provide money for black operations and the Taliban who want to eradicate it. You might read "The War to End All Peace", it nicely explained why dumps like Afghanistan and Iraq keep getting wars fought over them: location, location, location. It's fascinating to read Churchill talk of killing off war lords to set one group against another and see the same tactics being played out now, for mostly the same reasons. Nobody can hold Afghanistan! Nobody ever has. It's for the warlords, let them fight it out like they always have.”

“Great response. Seems I may have some reading to do. However, your analogy appears to assume that we're an empire building nation and we're not. At least not since before the civil war. Not that I really care, I just want someone to decide once and for all if we are or aren't an empire building nation. Cause if we ARE then the whole thing starts to make more sense even if the method of execution makes no sense. Sometimes I think we're not an empire building nation simply because over taking a country and installing yourself as ruler is such a dirty, nasty, ugly, business, that we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves seeing all of that played out on the evening news every day. So instead, we PRETEND we're not an empire building nation by trying to allow the country we're invading to maintain it's own culture wrapped around something that looks kind of like democracy but isn't, that no one in the country even wanted in the first place, which is all OK, even if it isn't working, as long as they're doing what we want.

“"without end"? Oh surely not? As in Orwellian space? Yeah, actually I have to agree with you and the hardest thing to deal with is the number of people who still "don't get it". They think we're fighting the good fight against evil, even to the point of drone bombs killing wedding parties. I guess when Muslims get married they become evil somehow. We are, however, if you think about it, setting up future wars and that's always good for business. Ever notice how the market climbs on news of a big car bomb? Expectations of new orders of armor and tons of rations.”

“Do you think Obama really is trying to "reach" the republicans, or is it possible that the Republicans and Democrats have reached a merged existence as a single, two headed party and Obama is simply serving his masters? Do you believe that Karl Rove and the rest would set up a rotating dictatorship and then simply allow a free election to take it all away from their greedy little claws? Heck no! Obama is one of the boys, believe it. We get what we pay for and the elections are in theory, "free". At least we sure don't want to pay. The corporations, those new forms of life on the planet, are happy to buy a President. It's their nature to continuously acquire power and material goods, like countries. It is very significant, boys and girls, that our first black President has no heritage of slavery. None of his ancestors came over in slave ships. He has no idea what being black in America really means. Consider if he had been born in the Bronx of a single parent household, surrounded by poverty, ignorance, drug money and corrupt cops. What kind of President would that Obama have been? I think we NEED to find another Obama before the Israelis nuke Iran.”

If the thing is too long for you then Google up some of the letters Jefferson and Madison wrote while designing this nation. It's a whole lot different than the way we do it now, eh? Like then the President presided over the Executive branch, and now he enjoys absolute unchecked power. Our rights have become threats, like freedom of speech empowers people like Beck and Limbaugh. Presidential power is a heavy drug and Obama is high as a kite. The good news is he reads and writes, unlike Bush. The bad news is he is a millionaire professional politician with favors to repay and an isolated environment wherein he cannot see the country, only those around him and they are also wealthy professional politicians and their sycophants.

“What we see as "out of control" millionaires see as "risky", like betting in Vegas or drilling a new well. Nothing to worry about because you have so much money even if you lose 50% you still can live off the interest. Corporations own this government. They bought it over the years upping the stakes, bribing and buying campaigns. Now they own it. Not us, we just paid for it.... we're the backers. Fierce capitalism has always been like this. Even the Norsemen had a special market where you could be sure of a fair price for reasonable goods. They knew that you need to surround trade with regulations and agreements between ethical parties. In America, if you watch any kind of sitcom, soap opera or the news you find that "ethics" is gone. Morality is problematic since it varies from culture to culture, but ethics is universal. Harm none. Revolution is immoral and dangerous, but strangely a couple times in our history we agreed it was the ethical thing to do in order to stop an immoral society.”
