We have all suffered greatly from CWS, the infectious condition commonly known as (Conservatives in the Whitehouse Syndrome) during the Bush administration. It was inadvertently contracted by the RNC after contact with religious right wing radicals like Sara Palin. The delusional paranoia brought on by this disorder caused a myopic state, obstructing any reform offered by the rational people in our government. While we were incapacitated by the fear mongering aspect of the virus, their representatives were busy delaying any hope for change. The residual effect of this condition has now made it impossible for the average American to afford the health insurance needed to pay for the bills incurred by the illness and so we will have to pass the cost on postmortem to our children and grandchildren. The American economy has now collapsed like a victim of the imagined WMD, caused by the high mortality rate of the CWS scourge accompanied by its obvious symptoms of war, high national debt, a housing crises and a nasty outbreak of recession.

The only known cure for this condition is an injection of LDGD, a (Liberal Dose of Genuine Democracy), administered by a transplant replacement of any conservative incumbents with progressive Independents in November. This treatment will certainly overpower the infection caused by the two party system. In order to avoid a re-infection of CWS syndrome, the country should perform what is commonly referred to as RTBE (Radical Tea Bag-Ectomy). This will protect us from a conservative relapse.

Let’s hope we all survive long enough to receive the cure, and considering the limited two-party protocol available to us, the LDGD may become so contaminated by the tea-baggers before November as to cause side effects subsequently worse then the disorder itself!

global warming

I find it hard to believe that in this day and time there are still people who deny climate change. Someone needs to tell these numbskulls that denial is not a river in Egypt. I have to ask myself, what planet are they living on?  Of course most of them still think the world is flat and that Darwin is a town in Australia. The real problem is that their ignorance is being fueled by the likes of Glen Beck who thinks because it is snowing in his back yard that he should give everyone a blow job, excuse me “a snow job”.

This kind of distortion of the facts is unconscionable even for an imbecile like Glenn Beck!

Science has shown that our planets temperature has risen by 1.3 degrees in the last 100 years, the North West passage did not freeze over for the first time in history and alpine glaciers and the snows of Kilimanjaro are melting back. I can only believe that Beck, like the planet, is running a temperature and it has effected his brain, provided he has one.

It is a sad day for all Americans when a senator like James M. Inhofe(R-Okla) calls climate change “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” and builds an igloo on Capitol Hill to mock Al Gore. This man has no business representing any one in this country if this is the limit of his understanding of the greatest problem facing the world today. Doesn’t he know that Climate Change is the reason why he has the snow to build his stupid igloo!

Time is running out and it makes me wonder if the Myan prophecy about 2012 is coming true.

We have two choices; we can deny it and do nothing, or believe that climate change is man made and make an effort to do something about it. The first choice is simple just like the people who deny it, but if they are wrong we will face devastation on a biblical scale. Of course most of them are bible thumpers and believe the end times are at hand, maybe they are trying to bring it about, that would explain the denial.

The second choice is that they are right, in whitch case we will have spent an enormous amount of effort trying to stop something that didn’t really exist like WMDs and created an colossal amount of unnecessary green jobs, “Wait a minute don’t we need more jobs in this economy”?

There are several things that really frighten me about Climate Change. The first is the rate of change. As the ice caps melt the amount of ice is reduced and less sunlight is reflected back out into space, the ocean that is then exposed will absorb that sunlight raising its temperature. Secondly, no one talks about the permafrost in the northern regions of the world. It is mostly tundra made up of vegetation and when vegetation thaws it rots and gives of methane gas, one of the biggest greenhouse gasses. Then there is methane hydrate, this is methane that is in a solid state and being kept that way at the bottom of the ocean by the pressure and temperature down there. If you warm the ocean enough to relace it along with the methane in the tundra you will get an acceleration of Global warming which will have a snow ball affect on the warming. You can forget about counting cow flatulence, it is not even in the running when compared to these two.

So if we take the simpleton solution suggested by the Climate Change deniers and do nothing, it may all be over by December 21, 2012 and the next presidential election will be rendered moot. This means we will have put up with Tea Party idiots and Sara Palin for nothing.

I will gladly side with Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore and err on the side of sanity, rather then take a chance that the conspiracy theorists are right!

When a person is born into a family of Brahmins, Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Etcetera, they are naturally brought up with that set of beliefs, due to the indoctrination by the family. The child having no other point of reference and having a primitive mind they fall easily into the set of beliefs being pressed against them. I am not saying that this is a bad thing; I am only stating a fact. This same syndrome is employed by missionaries when they try to convert people to their beliefs who are living in primitive cultures and McDonalds when they put Ronald McDonald and playgrounds in their franchises to indoctrinate children into buying Happy Meals and eventually Big Mack’s.

The problem is that this is indoctrination and not revelation! According to Webster’s Dictionary Revelation is an act of revealing or communicating divine truth or something that is revealed by God to humans. To indoctrinate is to imbue with a usually partisan or sectarian opinion, point of view, or principle.

Now if a person’s belief was derived through an open mind that allowed God to communicate his divine wisdom to them, I would say that they have a true understanding of God’s intent, but if your religious belief was indoctrinated from birth, chances are that what you have is a belief system that has been tainted by generations of man’s influence over the word of God.

An objective point of view is the only way to ever know if what you believe is true and having been indoctrinated since birth makes you subject to all the dogma attached to what ever religion you think you have chosen, when in fact you had no choice in the matter.

The same holds true for political beliefs. If you were raised in a democratic or republican household the subliminal indoctrination you received as a child will predigest your political views for the rest of your life. Conversely if you were brought up in a family that did not espouse any one particular religious or political affiliation, chances are you will have a more open minded view of Gods spirit and the political motivations of others.

Under the second law of the universe (equals and opposites) it is not possible to be objective and subjective at the same time, so if you have been subjected to the indoctrination of your family and the friends they chose to surround you with for your whole life there is very little chance that you will ever become enlightened to the truth about your belief systems.

Your only hope is to diligently work at reducing your exposure to others that have these subjective beliefs and try to see things through the view of others in the hopes that some day you may receive a revelation from God or become an independent voter that sees the truth about the political system.

Thankfully I was not indoctrinated early in my life and chose to study many of the major religions of the world without the usual biases that come from being pushed into a particular organized religion and my family was independent in nature.

I now have a spiritual understanding of religion and a political view that rejects the extreme views of the right and left. This has been both a blessing and a curse, as I now have the ability to see both sides and have to put up with the absurd ranting of the radical conservatives and liberals.

I invite both sides to move closer to the center for the sake of our country, your arrogance will only serve to divide this great nation.

In a recent communiqué from the Supreme Being I was warned that the human race is on a collision course with a catastrophe of biblical proportion. It is not of the usual flood or locust type, but something of man’s own making that will resemble fire and brimstone. The catastrophe referred to is the results of global warming and its effects on the Creators work on this planet along with its potential to destroy the human race.

Since man has been given free will, the warning comes with an alternative scenario. Offered is the option to make necessary changes to our behavior to avert disaster, but immediate action is necessary.

The forces of evil have been employing their usual scare tactics to instill fear and paranoia among the so called believers in an attempt to divert attention from this burning issue.

War between organized religions was sited as the primary tool being used to divert us from saving our planet. Our only hope is the secession of aggression and to unite in our efforts to overcome this catastrophic outcome.

The All Mighty also expressed a great disappointment in the way we humans are treating each other saying, exclusivity was never granted to any particular sect or religious group and to believe so is folly.

Tea Bagger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It appears that the Tea Baggers and Birthers have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. When people of dubious character want to manipulate a naive group of unsuspecting individuals, they first frighten them with a scenario that will instill fear in their minds, no matter how untrue it may me. Then they indoctrinate them by repeating the falsehood loudly and often so as to indoctrinate them. This is referred to as brain washing!

People who willingly join groups of like minded people like the Christian Right do, do so to reduce their exposure to alternative views and thus further narrow their own view of the world. This results in limiting their exposure to other possibilities and causes them to become radicalized, intolerant and closed minded. This is precisely what has happened to the Tea Baggers and Birthers who have fallen pray to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, commonly referred to as not being able to think outside the FOX. These people are not news reporters, but media figures, that profit from network ratings and gain those ratings thru sensationalizing and the exploitation of those in the Right Wing who are vulnerable to their nonsense. This is why we end up with situations like Waco, Ruby Ridge, the Unabomber and the Oklahoma Bombing. It is one thing to have Free Speech, but another to yell fire in a crowded theater. You can holler Socialist at me all you like, but you can not call these people patriots. They are nothing but Capitalist Opportunists who would destroy this country for the sake of their own pocket books.

Tom Tancredo

Racist is as Racist Does!

I could not agree more with Representative Tom Tancredo when he said we need a literacy test before allowing American citizens to vote!

I propose the following literacy test for all Tea Party Movement members regardless of their color, religion, national origin or sexual orientation.

 

  1. Name the president under whose watch our national security was breached on 911 and to what political party did he belong?
  2. Name the president who started the illegal invasion of Iraq, under the false pretence of looking for nonexistent WMD and to what political party did he belong?
  3. Name the president under whose administration The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed part of Glass-Steagall, deregulating the banking industry causing it to collapse just prior to the Obama administration taking office and to what political party did he belong?
  4. Name the place of birth of the presidential candidate who lost the last election and has yet to produce his birth certificate and to what political party did he belong?
  5. Name the previous vice presidential candidate who was chosen primarily because of her ability to pageant walk and wink at the same time and helped McCain lose the last election?

 

Only truthful and accurate answers will be accepted, any attempt at deception will be considered a false statement and result in the applicant being barred from participating in the 2012 presidential elections!

PS: All those showing up at the poles with tea bags hanging from their heads will be tested!

Alice_in_Wonderland_Tea_Party_5814880Like Alice in Wonderland, a bored little girl from Wasilla played by (Sara Palin) has gone looking for adventure chasing a white rabbit (Played by John McCain) who is running late in his presidential campaign. She follows him down a Christian rabbit hole where she encounters a tea party being thrown for Obama’s Happy Un-Birthday. The oratory is preformed by a lunatic fringe of Mad Hatters with questionable sanity and attended by an assemblage of March Hares preformed by the (Tea Bagger Repertory Company). The event is orchestrated by a suspect cluster of corporations who like the Queen of Harts are foul-tempered monarchs. Sara drinks a tea bag elixir that says Drink Me and shrinks small enough to fit through the narrow-minded door that leads to the republican garden. She encounters some Hookah Smoking Conservatives who convince her that she should run in 2012.  After eating some right wing cake at the Tea Party marked Eat Me she grows to enormous stature within the tea party movement. The play closes with exaltations by the Foxes at News Corp. with Rush Limbaugh giving her a complementary radio rant and then the play reaches a crescendo with the collapse of The Republican Party. Those Tea Baggers left on stage are not called back for an encore because the audience has moved on to a better show staged by another group of so called serious players. What the heck The Show Must Go On!

GOP Good Old Prostitutes

Our conservative Republican senators have shown where their true professional talents really lie by trying to quash health care reform for their johns in the insurance industry who have paid so generously for their services. They are against banking reform, the industry they are in bed with and having preformed fellatio deregulation to facilitate a banker’s climax, they brought our economy to the brink of collapse which resulted in a TARP payment. They put their hands together to stroke the Supreme Court decision that will allow their corporate pimps (foreign and domestic) to buy elections with salacious advertising money. They continue to support don’t ask don’t tell! Are they really afraid that people of a different sexual orientation might threaten their whoring being doing with their no bid military contracts? Now they are opposing the new jobs bill that would put Americans back to work, is that because they already have jobs in the corporate escort services? The tricks they are turning, like conning a few Acorn workers and tapping Senator Mary Landrieu’s phones are giving prostitutes a bad name! I say working girls unite and divorce your selves from these Washington street walkers and Wall Street corner whores, by kicking them out of bed, excuse me, office. Then as independent working girls you can keep the proceeds of your labors for your selves and maybe then you could afford health insurance, your own house and a bank account without exorbitant fees that would put you back out on the street.

It seems to me that the Republicans have forgotten who they work for, with their filibustering and stalling tactics on healthcare, banking reform and anything else the Obama administration should put forward on behalf of the American people. Rather than work to help us out of the great recession that their predecessors put us in, they would prefer to sit on their hands as they did during the state of the union address.

In my many years as a small business man, I fired any employee that behaved this way! In this case they work for We The People, not We The Corporation and so this independent will take their lead as the party of “no” and vote for “no Republican” come November.

The blue dog Democrats haven’t done much better, but at least they are trying.

In this economy the people are working twice as hard to keep their jobs, why should our representatives be any different? As owners of this country we need to establish a zero tolerance policy for those who refuse to work as hard as we do on our behalf. When we elected these people, the job description was to represent us, not to represent the special interests with the deepest pockets. No business can survive when its employees are busy selling out to their corporate competitors. We need the change we voted for in November of 08, not business as usual!

Dennis Dennis

It is easy to spot a loser!

It has been my experience that it is easy to spot a loser by their actions when confronted with change. They will lye, cheat and deceive to maintain their guise as winners. They are frightened little people who use tactics like dirty tricks in political campaigns or personal attacks on their opponent rather then address the issues, or shout down opposing views in an attempt to drown out the truth. But a whispered truth has more clout than an incessant lye!

Like a racists of the past, they are appalled by the election of our black president and will reject anything he attempts in an effort to steer the country in their own narrow minded direction.

Those of us who seek to better our country know that we can not stoop to their level if we ever hope to purge these bigots from our society. I feel sorry for them, having to live in a country that has moved on, leaving them to wallow in their own self righteous beliefs. They are slowly becoming dinosaurs in a changing world where if you reject change you will be left fading into history, only to leave dust angles on the floor of time.

Their myopic views leave them frightened by what they do not understand and incapable of empathizing with people of a different color, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. It means that we must offer them some compassion since they will not receive any from their cohorts.
