NPR Is Not PBS





After being fired from NPR for "sharing" his personal fears of Muslims dressed in traditional garb on airplanes. Juan Williams was offered a fat contract at Fox News for two million dollars.Whether NPR did the right or wrong thing is debatable-but the bigger issue is the right wings attempt to use this for political exploitation.

Republicans are threatening action if they take the House to de-fund NPR-and PBS-which had absolutely nothing to do with the Williams firing.

Republican Jim De Mint will introduce legislation to de-fund National Public Radio.This rush to de-fund is simply another attempt by Republicans to attack perceived liberal voices. They condemn the firing of Juan Williams as an attempt by the liberal media to push the political correctness agenda- which they abhor.

National Public Radio is almost entirely supported by donations-getting only 2% of it's annual budget from taxpayer subsidies like the national endowments for the Arts which Republicans have screamed about for decades. Since 1967 Republicans have been trying to eliminate publicly funded entities like NPR and PBS but have failed. This latest attempt is just another bully tactic to throw their weight around before an upcoming election.



Red Goose Radio

Just think of all the tax payer dollars being wasted on this charade. But of course the right wing won't take this thought into consideration.

The look-at-me opportunists like Palin-Boehner-Canter-Malkin-and Huckabee to name a few- are clamoring for the spot light in the modern day Inquisition. While the witless followers of the right are harassing NPR and PBS with threatening e-mails phone calls and bomb threats.

This issue is more about the attempt by the right at censorship saying Congress should de-fund  an agency because they disagree with what they did- by removing the funding, and while we are at it- lets kill PBS too-just for the heck of it. 

If we don't like what a tax payer funded entity does then why don't we also de-fund Armed Forces Radio while we are at it.They like PBS had nothing to do with Juan Williams and they are tax payer supported.

In 2007 Rush Limbaugh-called soldiers who disagreed with the Iraq war "phony." Rush Limbaugh a regular contributor to Armed Forces Radio (paid for by tax dollars) so insulted many in the armed forces that he received over ten thousand e-mails demanding an apology.



Apologize! Never!





These went ignored and when attempts were made to get congress to pull Limbaugh off Armed Forces Radio congressional Republicans responded by drafting a resolution supporting Limbaugh. "commending [his] relentless efforts to build and maintain troop moral through worldwide radio broad casts and personal visits to conflict regions."

The fact that Limbaugh and Armed Forces Radio gets a pass when it comes to de-funding clearly shows the right wing's hypocracy. What is good for the goose is only good for the goose-so screw the gander .

With the geese in charge we would have a lot less choices. The geese would decide what we could watch and listen to and Fox News would be the only approved voice and the only source for information affordable to low income people-the ganders.

Which- if they get there way- will be all of us. Maybe It will be good for a few disenfranchised republican geese to learn the lesson that being uninformed-voting against your own best interest and reacting to propaganda will prove the saying true, "be careful what you wish for....."

When ordinary Republicans find out for themselves that they too have been duped maybe we can all have a conversation.

Some geese just have to get plucked before they learn anything.

Oh  and by the way.... all of you crazy right wing nut jobs threatening PBS with bomb threats, PBS is not NPR, and they really wish you'd stop.

Shout Jesus, America and Free Enterprise

If you love Jesus vote conservative. If you love America Vote conservative and if you love free enterprise...
Well, you get the picture.



And God created the capitalist

It doesn't seem to matter if you have nothing to offer, are qualified for public office-are morally bankrupt-and lie through your sharp corporatist teeth- just repeat the mantra enough and the hypnotized masses will respond to the conservative dog whistle.


Jesus-America and Free Enterprise. Is the only way to go. Trouble is-is says absolutely nothing and is no different than yelling "fire!" when there isn't one. It's just a ploy to get a reaction from those who need to believe in -something. The keepers of the way-back machine who con you into thinking that yesterdays America was better than today's.


These con artists are all using the Machiavellian play book to stoke the flames of hate all wrapped in a cozy blanket of Christian love. Like Machiavelli himself believed, that winning is more important than how you play the game-and winning by deception is how the game is played.


Whether Republican or Democrat both are ruled by the greater God of greed.One uses Jesus to snag the christian voter- While the other pretends to be for the middle class. But it's the corporation that is their higher power and it will  be the factor of the dismantling of  America.


If you want to see it happen faster vote Republican-but be careful what you wish for-You may find yourself voting for your own demise-and find that social safety net that you all rail against-pulled out from under your feet-just when you need it.



Conservatives and Liberals together at last.

Being conservative or being liberal doesn't make you more or less American.

Until we all find ourselves in the same boat-betrayed by both parties who have sold us all out -in favor of the corporations we will continue to treat the political landscape like a foot ball game- cheering for our side- while trashing the other.


Maybe we will realise we have all been had- for a very long time -before it's too late.

But I doubt it.

Why We Are Crazy Part 3 The Way Back Machine

When a political party has nothing to offer it resorts to fear.



Join the Tea Party

 If you can't get the cattle to follow you into the corral scare the hell out of them, only that really doesn't work with cows-they are smarter then that-they will run anywhere else but into the corral and trample you in the process. We could learn a lot from cows-maybe we need to trample a few fear mongers.



 Fear erodes hope and when large groups of people lose hope it opens the door for all kinds of scary ideas.  Fear of poverty is a deep seated fear and seeing countless people driven from their homes after losing their jobs have pushed all of our fear buttons.



Conservative empathy



To add to the already over burdened Americans in dire straights we have the conservative fear mongers screaming " Go backwards young man".

Tea Party fanatics want to strip us of the minimum wage- take us back to a time before the food and drug administration- before regulation of any kind- before public education -way back to the Dark Ages before Social Security.
Deregulate... De fund... and Dismantle... is their vision for America.
All from the party of go backwards.
Conservative Republicans and two faced Democrats reminisce for the good old days of racial superiority, slave wages,Christian values, and dog eat dog.

 With only two choices we have for political parties- one  bent on going backwards- the other stuck in neutral - it is no wonder the corporate sharks are looming around us- ready to consume all we have left while we flounder in distraction.

The idea of going backwards is shear lunacy. As much as we may fear the unknown we have to face it-especially during uncertain times. We bravely plough ahead -taking our blows along the way-but we don't turn tail and run - backwards.

There is no such thing as a "Way Back Machine."
Sherman and Mr. Peabody knew the danger of going backwards and they used the way back machine wisely -choosing to learn the lessons of the past-rather than trying to live there.

Maybe they ought to run for political office-they would be an improvement over our current offerings.

It is obvious the "good idea bank" is bankrupt in our current political system- and someone better think of something pretty quick or we are all doomed to find ourselves governed by incompetents who either (1) Are siding with the sharks or (2) trying to compromise with the sharks.

Maybe we could use the way back machine to transport all of those who want to go backwards to the time of the Roman Empire-where they could experience life as a slave with no rights-no protection from  exploitation from masters-who viewed slaves are fodder for entertaining the rich, where the sharks were in charge and unregulated free enterprise reigned supreme.

Yeah-That's the kind of America we all dream about.

Maybe there is something to this Sovereign Citizen thing- maybe they aren't as crazy as some of us.

Why We Are Crazy Part 2 Propaganda



What is propaganda? It is a medium of persuasion. A message delivered by an individual or group to change a current belief system or behavior through manipulation.



Our sponsor-corporate capitalism



HOW TO BE A PROPAGANDIST.

(1) Appeal to the masses-not to the intelligentsia.

(2) Target the emotions - ignore the intellect.

(3) Always present a worse case scenario first using the pre-message in which the audience anticipates the message before it is given.

(4) Keep the message simple as the masses have a limited intellect and memory.

 (5) Repeat -Repeat -Repeat the message -as repetition becomes believable over time therefore creating the illusion of truth in the listener. Messages that are affirmed and repeated are often perceived as truth and spread by means of contagion.



Buy  today-pay forever





 The propagandists whether they be politicians-corporations-news media-evangelists-political party's or advertisers - all follow the same format.



 They are the sellers of want- and what you want only they have. It doesn't matter what it is-a product-a political ideology or religious belief. It could be that house you'd always wanted- the idea sold to you at birth as the American Dream. If everyone shares the same dream it doesn't take much work for the sellers to find an audience. Selling the American Dream as a reality has driven Americans to frantically spend their precious life's currency to escape the stigma of being ordinary.



Your innards are no better than mine.



So what is wrong with being ordinary? Taken apart we are all ordinary inside. We have ordinary parts just like everyone else: heart-liver-lungs-brain-colon-eye balls-veins etc. Just a mish-mash of ordinary organs.

Racism doesn't exist in this context nor does elitism-one organ is no better than the other all have to work together as a whole in order to produce the product called a functional human being.

It is what that human product does with its life that determines it's value. Some of the least valuable people in society are those seen as extraordinary.The ones who have acquired wealth and power at the expense of others. The thieves and liars who propagandise themselves as hero's.

The war mongers -the banksters- the corporate frauds -the lying politicians-the media propagandists all working through the same chain of command. All owned by-or in cahoots with each other.

A good propagandist knows how to use some rules of propaganda to relay their message but have something of their own to add giving some insight into their personality.

A bad propagandist has little to offer so relies heavily on the format. How many times have you heard the slogan "fair and balanced" from Fox News-they use the pre message to put the idea in your mind that what you are about to see will be- fair and balanced-no matter how outrageous. Constant repetition of this theme affirms the message which is then perceived as truth.

Ask any Fox watcher why their prefer Fox over other news stations and more likely than not will say, "it's the only news that tells the truth." But ask them what makes it so-and they struggle with a definition. In reality Fox News is "fair and balanced" simply because they say they are.

Propaganda's speech has replaced critical thinking in America, we stopped demanding proof from the hucksters a long time ago. We don't confront the sellers of ideas to prove their ideas are sane-safe or fair. They tell us what to think and how to think it-and we just sit back and let it in. We have become like children relying on the powerful "nanny's" to shape and direct our lives through advertising - leading so many to betray their own self interest in favor of feeling part of something bigger.

Bigger isn't better-its just bigger. Sometimes smaller is better- at least for those of us who find the seller's of bigger to be selling traps that enslave us with life long debt-poisonous ideas-and insanity.

A crazy population can be controlled with medication-provided by big pharmaceutical and insurance companies-advertised by big media-controlled by mega corporations.
Who just want you to take that happy pill to ease the stress they have created  to make you more malleable and easier to persuade to believe the lies-that keep you poorer and them surrounded in luxury.

So knock it off! Wake up and stop buying into the lie. And remember companies like News Corp. will always have an idea to sell and special products just for Fox viewers, like this lovely jacket from the Glen Beck collection....

One size fits all. Just whip out your 30% interest rate credit card and buy it today...And keep



We need corporations to think for us.

feeding that beast called the American Dream until all your dreams are gone.

Why We Are Crazy- Part One

America is mentally ill -and like all crazy people we don't think we are crazy. It isn't just the crazy talk and crazy viewpoints of crazy politicians-it's the crazy ideas we have been brainwashed to believe.
Ideas are like a virus that spreads from person to person-from parent to child until the entire population is infected with an ideology of the insane.

Some people are immune with a super resistance and have the ability to discern manipulation from the truth and can see a con from a mile away.- these people are becoming an endangered species. In a world growing more and more corrupt the wise American seems out numbered.

We weren't born insane but years of twisted ideas have led many of to us to believe capitalism alone is what makes America great - and has deluded the average American to believe that in order to be perceived by others as successful means embracing a capitalistic belief that having more means being better than.

 Many Americans have devoted the whole of their lives in the endless pursuit of conspicuous consumption, a paradigm that has robbed them of time with family, alienated them from neighbors-dismantling community and- creating an insane fearfulness of losing it all. Seeing so many people stripped of their wealth as with the current foreclosure scam  must finally prove to us all that most of us were living in a fantasy world created by the capitalists in charge. The banks-Wall street-and the corporations who molded us to believe-through advertising that being who we were-having what we had was not enough.

Predatory advertising is a cunning art, designed to separate you from your money by creating an atmosphere of inadequacy in the consumer (you) which their product or service can cure. Only there is no cure because they need unhealthy consumers to feed their greed so the stakes get higher and higher until everything collapses.

Since 1950 the average American home has doubled in size even though the family unit is smaller. Larger homes provide more storage for products-multiple garages for larger vehicles. Think of the explosion of the SUV  a ridiculously over sized gas guzzler driven exclusively in the urban landscape. A bigger house means higher utilities, higher insurance premiums, maintenance, expensive appliances,and furniture. All these perks advertised to you by snake oil salesmen of the corporation of greed.

Bigger is not better-it's just bigger and takes more of your life's currency to acquire and maintain.

So  why does our life's currency come so cheap? We were sold a bag of goods by profiteers whose only function is to enrich themselves-preying on our fears of inadequacy by using pretty images of "a better life" as a means to undermine our own.

The advertising dealers had to first get us to try the conspicuous consumption drug -and once tasted we were hooked making us their host -on which they feed as long as their junkie has the ability to pay.

Unaware Americans yielding to constant onslaught of advertising throughout most of their lives fell into a spell of an American dream on steroids. Simplicity was passe' something to assign to the tasteless and elderly in a media created culture of youth and beauty, riches and dream houses.Conservatives who once preached "saving for a rainy day" were now crying ,consume-consume-consume....as the true American way.



The Banking Pimps

 It is these mixed messages that say "buy only what you can afford" from lenders who then explain your fears away offering more than you need -in terms of home loans and easy credit. They convince you using their once trusted expertise to buy that bigger house to fatten your own portfolio, assuring the buyer that it is best to invest in your future now-as home values are the safety net to assure a secure future. Once in -the home lenders then bombard homeowners with advertising for pre-qualified equity loans-again conning people into believing they are investing in themselves. It was a scam-and banks are the biggest looters of the American middle class in history.

Two faced conservative hypocrites-now criticize the very people they conned into believing their lie. Blaming the victim as being "foolish-greedy and uninformed".When in fact they purposely misled the lambs to a well planned crooked slaughter.
This is absolute proof that business left unregulated is business poised for destruction.When there are too many predators feeding off the flock-the only recourse is eliminate them-otherwise they create havoc consuming every last sheep -before feeding on each other.

To the big banks and mega corporations we the people are just dumb sheep eager to be fleeced. When they have taken all you have created with your life's currency they will target your children with their propaganda.

Remember what your Mother taught you-live within your means and as much as we hate to admit it- in this case mother was right and now we are forced to admit...

-Mother knows best.


Save your money. Stay out of debt!

See Dick Shoot

During his absence a sigh of relief could be heard across the land - and imagined enemies crawled back under the bed. The villagers had endured 8 years of terror from Prince Vlad the Torturer. 

The Nightmare man was gone it seemed - and humanity was safe from the deep, flat authoritarian voice sounding the alarm of impending doom and hidden agendas, replete with invisible boogey men, and weapons of mass destruction-that were never there-but could be there....because we believe they are there....and if something isn't there it only means it must to be there.

Just because you think you don't have a cold....doesn't mean you don't have one.

The sane among us thought we were rid of Count Doom and Gloom and his paranoid logic-but he has returned to haunt us again reminding us-that we are not safe-under the weak leadership of President Obama.

The former second in command fear monger in chief has a hobby -one that feeds his need for death and destruction.

Dick Cheney is back-coming to a canned hunting club near you.

Canned hunts are very popular among wealthy Republican lords and ladies. When time means money-wealthy Republicans prefer the canned hunt...in which pen raised birds with wings clipped... are thrown into the air by game keepers then blasted into bits by a firing squad.

Unlike hunters of the past-the canned hunter is a tidier breed. No muss-no fuss-just aim and shoot-then stroll down to the next blind where unlucky ducks or quail await execution. It's the perfect sport of the modern day Dandy.



 This is the sport of would be torturers and masters of the cheap thrill a no work easy win game-where the hunter always gets his bird-and the bird always gets executed in the end.

The sport of hunting with it's rugged history of man versus beast has withered away like a shrunken testicle by these less than manly men-Rich shameless cheaters of a once noble sport.



With clean hands and tidy boots the Dandy hunters rely on others to do the dirty work. All the semi-tame birds need to do is be there. Once killed they are cleaned-dressed and packed in dry ice, ready to be prepared by the assassin's personal chef. It is a shoot- to- go fast food approach for impotent men looking for a quick murderous release.

suspected terrorists

This vanity sport seems a perfect choice for Dick Cheney who's appetite for death and destruction seems never ending. Like Vlad the impaler Cheney sees his enemies hiding in the most unexpected places-places where terrorists -disguised as game birds- "hate America's freedom,"and plot to undermine our "christian values" turning all of America into one nation under Allah.

To the hapless game bird fed and raised by human hands people like Dick Cheney must seem like terrorists.


And terrorists they are-disguised as sportsmen-committing murder on innocent civilians of the bird kind.

The psychotic twisted logic of Dick Cheney will always justify his acts of atrocity- in his mind he is a sportsman pursuing his hobby of hunting. He thinks he is a hunter therefore he is a hunter-and wild game birds are the same as tame-and shooting things that can't escape is fair play-to the torturer despot nightmare man --





Dick Cheney in his first life.



who believes in god but acts like the devil.

The Thick Plottens

As more banks are putting foreclosures on hold until they "review" fraudulent paper work there is a growing rumble in the back ground questioning that this may be just the tip of an iceberg where fraud runs far deeper than just robo signings.

In 2004 the FBI warned of widespread fraud in the mortgage industry and the Bush administration, and the Federal Reserve refused to do anything. To facilitate the scam,the records of home ownership are largely maintained without a paper trail relying on the (MERS) system that is often identified in foreclosure proceedings as the owner of record. MERS (National  Mortgage Electronic Registration)  has replaced the straight forward transaction recording by local county governments-over 65 million mortgages are now in question including those not in foreclosure.

Before MERS housing loans were between lender and buyer and the verification of home ownership was a direct transaction which left a paper trail. If the house was sold, the physical records were changed and available to see.

In April 20005 Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL) crafted a bill called The Interstate Recognition and Notarization act. A bill designed primarily to allow business transactions from state to state by requiring documents be recognized in any state, legal notarization is still required and notary seal tagged to electronic documents. Previously passed in house but not picked up by Senate until recently. He also strongly supports each states attorneys in vigorously prosecuting all notarization fraud.

This bill was pushed through the Senate Judiciary Committee and approved by the full Senate on Sept. 27, the day before the Senate recess for mid-term election campaigning.The bill received almost no public attention until the Senate's rapid passage alarmed homeowners advocates, lawyers and state officials. The votes were not kept as public record being cast "yea" or "nay" so it is uncertain who voted in favor or who may have been ill informed at this bills possible abuse against homeowners- in favor of banks in the current foreclosure fraud investigation.

President Obama has since vetoed the bill.

The attempt to sneak this bill past the noses of the public where it so clearly could have shielded bank and mortgage processors from liability for fraudulent foreclosure documents-actually requiring courts to accept robo stamped documents without proper verification.

It is the questionable timing of this sneaky bill that has many people outraged. Was the Senate trying to pull a fast one over the American public?

The US Justice Dept. said it was probing reports the nations top mortgage lenders improperly evicted borrowers. Thanks to watchful advocates for WE The People this phony attempt by the Senate to pass into law the right of banksters to openly defraud it's customers- get away with it-then take away your ability to sue-by our own Senate ...is treason against the American people.

It's time to stock up on tar and feathers....sharpen the pitchforks... and polish the guillotines.

By the way there is more to come-seems all those bundled , packaged, sliced and diced derivatives sold to investors? They were phony too.

Kind of like re-selling repossessed cars-with no title-

to unwitting buyers without -repossessing the cars in the first place.

Another bailout to come?

Now hold still Timmy....



Let's start with Tim Geithner-and work our way down.

Time To Polish The Guillotines

Sadly, the greedy don't see any problems until they are being dragged off to the guillotine.

It is an affliction.

Before 1999 a bank was a bank and an investment house was an investment house. Everybody went about their business just fine-each doing what banks or investment house's do best making money for themselves and their customers. Things went along swimmingly....until something changed.

President Clinton made a grievous error. He signed a bill known as The Financial Services Modernization Act, drafted by a Republican, supported 92-8 in the Senate. Suddenly the cows were let out of their separate corrals to wander together aimlessly bumping into each other. Without direction -the cows got confused-as to which cow was which-and all the cows became something else.

That's what happened when the banks decided to graze in the investment banks field eating too much of that green grass until bloated by their greed-they got sick and needed the American tax payer to take then to the vet.

So the American public bailed out all the sick cows-making them promise to pay back their debt by providing milk-and never-ever do such a thing again. Happy and grateful the cows agreed-giving their word...as the word of a cow has always been trusted.

But some of the cows got greedy. Thinking they were smarter than their keepers-they began to hold back milk production-hoarding all the green grass and giving each other fat bonuses of bales of grass because they saw themselves extremely talented at bilking the keepers.

As the hoarded wealth from the back stabbing cows grew-they bought all the farms taking away the power of the keepers-selling those farms to unwitting investors who then lost their farms making even more cows powerful.

Soon everyone but the cows were broke-falling behind on their mortgages-sold to them by the cows-who figured out a way to fake all the paperwork-foreclose on everyone behind or not-becoming masters of  the land.

Then the cows bribed some judges to pass a law where they could secretly give bales of green grass to traitorous keepers ensuring them places of power within the cow cartel. Billions of bales of green grass flooded the elections ensuring the victory of the traitorous politician keepers.Who in turn protected the rights of the cows -over those of the keepers.

Soon the keepers were enslaved by the cows who stripped them of rights-forced them into poverty-took away their social safety net-destroyed their economy and paid them slave wages-that did not include a single drop of milk.

When the cows went too far paying themselves $144 Billion bales of green grass,and hoarding another1.8 trillion- one keeper had an idea. His name was Robert Pollin,an economist keeper from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. His idea was--We will let the cows keep up to 200 billion bales of green grass-and tax the rest as punishment for their betrayal of the keepers and excessive greed.

And that is where the story has ended-the rest will be continued- and hopefully a reasonable solution found other wise it will be time for the keepers to unpack the guillotines and give them a good polishing,

Stock up on Brasso.... just in case.

Fanning The Flames

Republican Carl Paladino is at it again.

Speaking to a group of Orthodox Jewish leaders Paladino stated "children should not be brain washed into thinking homosexuality is accepted. "There nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual."This being his reason for boycotting New York's gay pride parade. He goes on, "that's not how god created us and that's not the example we should be showing our children."

Recently Paladino came up with the brilliant idea of converting prison space into welfare dorms where.recipients could be trained to work in state sponsored jobs and "take lessons in personal hygiene...the personal things they don't get when they come from dysfunctional families."

Carl points his finger of "dysfunction" at both gays and in the poor but the definition applies to his own behavior towards his own family.

A dysfunctional family is one in which conflict, misbehavior, and often abuse occur continually and regularly.
Having abnormal sexual behavior such as adultery-promiscuity, or incest.
Denial or refusal to accept abusive behavior.

Lack of empathy, understanding, and sensitivity.

Leading other family members to accommodate such actions.

Carl Paladino recently acknowledged having ten year old child outside of marriage which he kept secret from his wife-sharing only with his children. During the ten year period he supported the mother and child as a second family. When asked why he kept this secret from his wife for ten years Paladino stated" I adore her...I didn't want to bring that hurt." Meanwhile his children kept a secret "hurt" for ten years.

Cheating on your wife-fathering a child outside of marriage-burdening your children with "your dirty little secret"  for ten years sounds pretty damned dysfunctional.

You should count yourself lucky Carl Paladino that you live in a culture where your misdeeds can be overlooked by a society of open minded -understanding people who don't condemn you for your actions and allow you to continue your life's pursuits -relatively unscathed.

It's a pity you don't do unto others as they do unto you, and apply some of that good ole Christian love to others.  And that "kind of hurt" you spared your wife is the same hurt felt by countless gay Americans kept in the closet afraid to share "that hurt" with family because of self righteous Christian hypocrites willing to cast that first stone.

Sure hope someone doesn't cast that stone your way.

I Want My Unfair Advantage Back.

The Tea Party wants it-Conservative Christians want it- The Republican party wants it-White racist America wants it- Fringe Anti-Government groups want it-The private sector wants it-Corporations want it-Anti-immigration Arizona wants it- Health insurance companies want it-The Rich want it- The Banks want it..disenfranchised America has never had it.

The unfair advantage.

The lyrics may be different but the melody is still the same. The unfair advantage-played regularly at a station near you.

The Tea Party howls,"We want our country back " meaning our unfair advantage.Tax sheltered corporations and the 2% crowd -so corrupted by it can't play fair anymore. Middle class Americans thinking they had it-overspent-over borrowed-under saved.

The unfair advantage is a viral ideology- infected those insisting on having "Everything my way" no matter the cost to the lives robbed in order for you to gain.

Like a screaming child weaned from it's mother the withdrawal from the unfair advantage has left Americans shaking in the corner in need of a fix.

The perks stripped away-easy credit-preferential treatment-favoritism and all the narcissistic trappings that come with an "instant gratification nation" are what this song is about.

Republican "self starters" deny it's existence " Rush Limbaugh states "Some people are born to be slaves" This reality forgets to include there cannot be slaves without slave masters -and all of the masters didn't get there alone.

Imbalance is needed to tip the scale your way.

Like slave owners of the past getting rich from the labors of others-today's slave masters use tax breaks and deregulation as their unfair advantage.Threaten those- and the cheaters run screaming in the streets crying" government take over-socialism-class warfare-wealth redistribution" as a distraction from the ugly bitter truth. They got what they got-by stealing from somebody else.

Without that unfair advantage most of the rich would be average Americans- like everybody who's ancestors weren't thieves.

Subtract all the wealth from slavery alone- and see where you'd be. That money would not have been passed down from generation to generation from your southern ancestors.

 Then add the money made at the expense of America's native peoples- compounded by unjust laws eliminating woman as property holders-denying the right to vote and the exploitation of immigrant workers and child laborers.
Not to forget profits gleaned by unjust laws and policies denying access to education, political aspirations,home ownership, credit, farming subsidies, military advancement, business development and so on. The deck was always stacked in the white man's favor.

That is the policy of those who cheat.

Eliminate half of the competition and your odds at success are pretty good - So much for American exceptional ism, where cheaters always win.

If Rush Limbaugh had not been born white, having parents who had not inherited wealth-no matter how small-passed down from generation to generation that began from robbing another human being of -their land  -their labor- or their freedom, who would he be today?

Born to be just another slave sweeping the floor at some radio station.

It's Cool To Be Cruel

The Tea Party and Joe Miller have a bone to pick with the Humane Society.

According to them the Humane Society is "taking away your constitutional right" to farm puppies.

Puppy Mills in Missouri - leader in factory farmed puppies- are under threat of extinction by Proposition B- a measure that would require puppy factories to do such unconstitutional things like- provide adequate food-shelter -water -vet care- and rest between breeding cycles for female dogs forced to produce pups at an unhealthy rate.

This unconstitutional law only applies to commercial dog breeding facilities that have more than ten females whose sole purpose for existing is to produce "products" for the pet trade industry.

The back-yard breeders of pit bulls and designer dogs like snoodles and labradoodles can still go about their business of creating more monsters and "throw away dogs" that end up getting dumped on society-destroyed at local pounds-ending up in an incinerator somewhere- forgotten-unloved-abused.

Those animals are still ripe for pup-ploitation- by folks like Joe Miller and Alliance for Truth- Missouri's opposition against the measure. So what is their beef?



By A Starving Dog In A Puppy Mill

Seems big government is peeing on someone else's tree again. The Humane Society, armed with an agenda that threatens to regulate yet another industry ( puppy mills) take away the rights of yet another free market capitalist enterprise,(the puppy market)...no matter how loath some that industry may be. Remember, business should remain free to regulate itself-because they care about consumers.

Joe Miller equates selling dogs to selling real estate-"You wouldn't tell a real estate agent how many houses he could sell." Property is property living or dead to this king of capitalism... where anything goes and- rules don't apply.

Pity the dogs locked in cages forced to breed -deprived of love or sunshine or comfort. They are the one's who's rights need protecting-not those who exploit them. Though-not every puppy mill is a gulag - too many are-and that fact is what this measure is about.

Missouri's Alliance for Truth claim they are " Fighting against proposition B to save your industry and the Missouri economy."  Oddly there is no listing that includes dog farming as one of Missouri's agricultural products and  it is doubtful regulating this one industry will harm Missouri's economy.In fact it was concerned Missourians who brought this problem to light-turning in puppy mill operators who conduct their business in a deplorable way.



Tea Party Freedom Dogs.


The rant continues- "the measure is a radical agenda-that seeks to raise the cost of dogs-making it more difficult for middle class American families to be dog owners."

Apparently the Humane Society is trying to monopolize the dog market by eliminating the competition. No where in their mission statement do the words - market - profit - or- enterprise- appear.



Just," Our mission -Celebrating Animals-Preventing Cruelty...

Some people's dogs are smarter than they are.. and most dogs aren't as hypocritical as Joe Miller who barks about preserving your freedoms one minute and abolishing the minimum wage in another- making patriotic freedom loving Americans poorer in order to preserve the rights of an industry that sells a product that no one will be able to afford.



Joe Miller is like a puppy mill dog that chases it's tail and barks at itself.  Crazy

I Want To Live In Dystopia

 

Wouldn't it be fun to live in a place where chaos rules -cities fall- governments collapse-where armed gangs rape and pillage like modern day pirates and the few remaining starving survivors of the wrecked planet wander aimlessly in search of food- sometimes resorting to cannibalism as their only means of survival.

Welcome to Dystopia- a vile cruel place filled with corruption deprivation, oppression and terror- a post apocalyptic landscape both grim and enticing-at least to many Americans.

Gloom and doom survivalist wanna be's are forming militias -Tea Party kooks are calling for revolution-religious groups are preparing for the end times- and Peak Oil doomsayers decry the coming collapse...and don't forget about December 21- 2012 the end of the world.

Maybe Dystopia is a place we all deserve-just ask the Millennial Christians or the Posse Comitatus- two groups who are just dying to make it real.The millennial Christians know the end is near-they have seen the signs of the Dystopian New world Order-where a golden age of paradise on earth in which "Christ will reign for 1000 years prior to the final judgement and future eternal state." Derived from the Book of Revelation 20:16 a final battle with Satan will take place-After comes the last judgement.

The Posse Comitatus-founders of the modern militia movement- some millennial Christians- are training in mock combat all across America in preparation for the coming martial law-where government takes away their guns and locks everyone up in gulag style Fema camps.They too have seen the signs.These jack-booted thugs call -Washington "jack-booted thugs"- It's thug against thug-in a war of ideology, where paranoia has replaced reason in a culture of "I'll get you before you get me."

Both groups see the signs and are just waiting for the events to unfold- horrors like pandemic; economic collapse; terrorist attack; hunger driven city refugees: invasion from Mexican drug cartels; Yellowstone eruption- even a electromagnetic pulse from the sun-to sound the alarm that propels them to act.

 Meanwhile- they stock crisis pantries,collect weaponry-form more and more underground groups- under the cover of benign gun clubs, hunting groups, volunteer firefighters and re-enactment groups. "Just don't call yourselves a militia " they warn start up groups "or the government will investigate." These guys  would like to live in Dystopia.

The Hutaree Christian militia just couldn't wait for Jesus to determine the end- no- they were tired of waiting on that slow poke and decided to take the end of the world into their own hands.These "warriors for Christ" concocted the brilliant plan to murder a cop- then infiltrate the funeral and blow up those in attendance thus starting a civil war- and over throw Obama the Anti-Christ- thus bringing about the final Judgement. If Jesus is general - then these guys went AWOL.

Maybe calling themselves "volunteer firefighters" instead of a militia the FBI would have never known. Ya think?

Now the Hutaree are living in a real life Dystopia in a federal prison-be careful what you wish for. and maybe the idea of Dystopia is a lot more fun than the real thing and should be left to science fiction.

Is Dystopia really what you want? Maybe all of you pretend soldiers need to grow up and go live in a real Distopian world- somewhere like Africa-or-Afghanistan- and see if you like it.

Chances are you'd be crying for your mama in a week-and want your president to come collect your sorry asses.. at tax payers expense.


I wanna go home
