  • Common ground between Progressives and the Tea Party?   14 years 19 weeks ago

    So much for "Get-Big-Government-Out-Of-Our-Lives" Tea Bagger chant! It's "Big Government" when "I" am forced to do something by the government, but not when “I” need Big Brother - Big Government" to keep an eye on "You"!

    This is Farce at its extreme and the worst of hypocritical mendacity! The Abortion culture war for example – there is some legislation by the some conservatives where it would make it a law to report ALL pregnancies to the Government and where the government would track all such pregnancies! May never make it law, but the irony is that it is the “Get-Big-Government-Out-Of-Our-Lives” people who are advocating these totalitarian measures! The Tea Party and the Republicans do not want to get rid of Big-Government – they just want to re-engineer Big Government to reflect their view of the world! Big-Government will not go away, it will just change hands. The difference, however, is that the Democratic view favors all Americans and reflects Democratic values, while the Conservative favors only the Few and reflects autocratic and dictatorial control.

    When are the American People going to wake up to the fact that when the Neo-Conservative/Fascist Corporate ‘Powers” are in complete power, the government will be twice the size it is now, and its main objective will be to keep an all invasive “Eye” on all Americans. When are the American people going to lift the veils of ignorance and see the Republicans, Neo-conservatives, and new fascist corporate powers for what they really are: Absolutist, Totalitarian, and Authoritarian! This is dangerous and it should be exposed for what it really is.

    Rachel Maddow had a good walkthrough on this recent vote. She put forward a great differentiation of the small government conservative rhetoric vs. the actual big government conservative agenda.

    Masters of War by Bob Dylan

    Come you masters of war
    You that build all the guns
    You that build the death planes
    You that build the big bombs
    You that hide behind walls
    You that hide behind desks
    I just want you to know
    I can see through your masks

    You that never done nothin’
    But build to destroy
    You play with my world
    Like it’s your little toy
    You put a gun in my hand
    And you hide from my eyes
    And you turn and run farther
    When the fast bullets fly

    Like Judas of old
    You lie and deceive
    A world war can be won
    You want me to believe
    But I see through your eyes
    And I see through your brain
    Like I see through the water
    That runs down my drain

    You fasten the triggers
    For the others to fire
    Then you set back and watch
    When the death count gets higher
    You hide in your mansion
    As young people’s blood
    Flows out of their bodies
    And is buried in the mud

    You’ve thrown the worst fear
    That can ever be hurled
    Fear to bring children
    Into the world
    For threatening my baby
    Unborn and unnamed
    You ain’t worth the blood
    That runs in your veins

    How much do I know
    To talk out of turn
    You might say that I’m young
    You might say I’m unlearned
    But there’s one thing I know
    Though I’m younger than you
    Even Jesus would never
    Forgive what you do

    Let me ask you one question
    Is your money that good
    Will it buy you forgiveness
    Do you think that it could
    I think you will find
    When your death takes its toll
    All the money you made
    Will never buy back your soul

    And I hope that you die
    And your death’ll come soon
    I will follow your casket
    In the pale afternoon
    And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
    Down to your deathbed
    And I’ll stand o’er your grave
    ’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

    The Eugenics have lost control, mainly by having to engage so many henchmen, who have sired their own ambitious race. Eugenics now have to deal with upstarts who want to open up the books of the Federal Reserve, Farm Loan Administration, Federal National Mortgage Association, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and get into all their private inside business. This conducted with an investigation of the Bureau of Lands and Mines could be dynamite!

  • We Moved from a Manufacturing to a Service Economy under Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush   14 years 19 weeks ago

    Historically this was a tiny slice of our economy, because banks don't actually manufacture any product that adds value to our economy. Additionally, since we moved from a manufacturing to a service economy under Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush we've seen manufacturing fall from about a quarter of our economy to only 11 percent of it. That means we no longer make anything of value here. Without making things, we don't create true wealth - we just move money around. You wash my car, and I'll mow your law - a so-called service economy - leads to economic disintegration over time, as eventually the car will fall apart and the lawn needs to be re-seeded.

    Nationalists/neo-cons/fascists/teapartiers--they are one and the same. There are very few true republicans left in the republican party! They preach hate and "we will save the world" garbage! If our founding fathers were of this ilk there wouldnt be a free country called the United States/America! they were closer to the socialist view point then people realize. Does anyone really understand history and the lessons the American people never learned? Remember Germany in the late 1920's and through out the 1930's?

    The same thing is happening right now in our country!

    One has to wonder how they got away with bringing about the Patriot Act in the first place. Borders wide open, Congress who has not declared war. Sending the national guard going over seas , "illegal ? The natioal guards purpose is to protect America here at home. Just think, If Patriot Act does go through , it will be a great way to get a message to the white house . Just pick up a phone and start talking about how you feel. Try speaking in Pig Latin, "That may go over good!. Ha! By the way Thom, Another great show.

  • Is Speaker of the House John Boehner having an affair? Details here - www.youtube.com/thebigpicturert#p/u/1/nGdS0-UxfPY   14 years 19 weeks ago

    "Don't cheapen our discourse by resorting to Faux News type 'disclosures'"?

    Boehner is a phony and a liar and he would kick your sainted granny out of her unheated shack if it would get him another vote. Anything that shows him up for the hypocrite he is is fair game. Also it is needed comic relief.

    Hmmm... I'm not sure it would be a good idea to "camp at the same site" with the low information, incompetent Tea Gaggers. Better set guards, at least. In addition to the expected betrayal, they'd most likely steal, and use up, all our supplies.

    It just doesn't seem like a very good idea. Tea Gag gullery is only exceeded by Tea Gag mendacity.

    I think it is good, maybe they won't march in lock-step with the republicans on every issue. I am afraid for my library records to be accessed. I have checked out tons of books written by authors on the left. I worry that the day may come when this can be used against me. I hope not!

  • Common ground between Progressives and the Tea Party?   14 years 19 weeks ago

    The good to come of this is to unmask the Teabaggers as the Neocons and social ultraconservatives they really are. Little government intrusion is not a problem, as long folks get to keep their guns.

    My wife has made a comment to me that she hears more helicopters in our area. Our area is a haven for fascist-Nazi Americans and with my four files on file with homeland security there is probably renewed interest in me as a domestic terrorist. A similar experience has happened back in early 2007.

    I DO NOT FAVOR THE RETURN OF THE MILITARY DRAFT BECAUSE ONLY THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF WORKING AMERICANS WILL BE SERVING IN THE ARMED SERVICES AND OUR FASCIST-NAZI LEADERS WILL CARRY ON ENDLESS WARS. I DO NOT FAVOR A NATIONAL WORK SERVICE FORCE BECAUSE ONLY THE SONS AND THE DAUGHTERS OF THE RICH WILL BE A PART OF THIS WORK SERVICE PROGRAM.

    Instead of shooting Mexicans crossing the border, maybe NAFTA should be modified to force Mexico to implement a minimum wage comparable to Canada and the US or face huge import sanctions. As long as northern industries are permitted to relocate to the other side of the southern border to take advantage of third world wages, Canada and the US will be the preferred destination of Mexican workers.

    Privately run prisons make no sense to me. Unless the prison has a manufacturing component, the only source of revenue is siphoning tax receipts. This is the purest form of the transfer of wealth after the earned income tax credit. The difference being those owning the prisons don't need the money to keep a roof over their heads.
