3 Types of Fascists

Call them conservatives, neo-Nazis, or neo-fascists.  They're all the same.  They are comprised of three distinct groups, all calling themselves patriots and Christians, just like the Nazis of Germany.

The first, and predominant trouble makers are the elite materialists and self-centered control freaks at the top who want all the power and money for themselves.  They un-patriotically rail against our government and its institutions and programs that are working for the people, because, as the Nazis, their ultimate goal is not to serve the people but to control them.  They employ the devil's tools of innuendo, slander, confusion and blatant lies to achieve their goals.

A second group comes from the bottom of society's barrel with a "storm trooper" mentality.  Also intensely self-centered, they are too lazy or too ignorant to do for themselves, and want to blame others for their material lack.  They blindly follow the leaders who lead them to believe their misfortune is fault of others, thereby justifying their prejudices and hatred.  These are the ones who actually kill and destroy - totally the opposite of how a true Christian would think and act.

The last group stands in the middle of the first two groups.  Like the storm troopers, they are too mentally lazy to accept challenges of deciding what is best for the populace, so they to simply blindly follow their leaders.  Fortunately they are too cowardly to physically kill or destroy.  They do, however, often discourage, denigrate and destroy by use of their vile tongues - all in the name of Christ, who actually condemned such attitudes.

This sums up the type people in the current Republican Party.  Similar attitudes, though, can occasionally be found in a few members of the Democratic party.  For example, it wasn't Republicans that stormed the Democratic Convention in 1968.  As a more recent example, homosexuals are bringing lawsuits against Christian churches to force those churches to hold their marriage ceremonies, even though homosexuality is diabolical to Christianity.  Often they don't really want to be married in a church.  They only want to embarrass Christians with an "I gotcha!"


The most intelligent and acceptable attitude for a stronger society is to respect each person as a human being with differing beliefs and attitudes from your own, excepting when they harm others or their properties.  In other words, I won't step on your toes and you don't step on mine.  If you do step on my toes by slandering or harming me or mine don't expect me not to retaliate - preferably in a lawful manner.

Like Hitler and McCarthy

When there's nothing to dig for, or they run into rock, Republicans try to create dirt out of air.

The public, though, will not listen to us, because theydon't like to hear scarey things.


It's time you start listening,preparing, and stop expecting the government to do it all for you. YOUare your own best and first line of defense, be it terrorists ordisease. Please Share this everywhere to everyone. The time is growing very short. It's not possible. It's inevitable!

The Myth of the "Liberal Media"

The right-wing noise machine on talk radio and television would like everyone to believe the mainstream media is run by those “awful, America-hating liberals” and that every story is reported from the liberal perspective. The facts are quite different.

In 2007 The Center for American Progress and Free Press released a report titled “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio”. One of the key findings showed 91% of weekday talk radio programming is conservative.

Outside of perhaps two or three hosts on MSNBC few progressive commentators are household names while the list of nationally known conservatives seems endless. What’s more, there is no progressive equivalent of Fox News.  Fox News, or as some have dis-affectionately dubbed it "Faux Noise", has become an outright propaganda machine for the Republican Party. Unfortunately, it is also the most viewed cable news network today.

The majority of Americans held a progressive point of view until shortly after the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in the late 1980’s, during the administration of George Bush (#41). Since then conservative ideologists pounced on the opportunity that afforded them to unfairly promote their doctrine.  Aided by the overflowing bank accounts of there supporters they have flourished on the broadcast media, and in much of the printed media, almost without opposition. The lack of opposing views has allowed conservatism to take root and grow dramatically.

The mainstream media is slanted heavily against anyone considered to be the opposition by Republican Party elite and their supporters, This disallows many from hearing the truth in the news they receive. It is, therefore, up to each concerned citizen to help the truth be heard in our daily conversations, regardless of where that truth may fall.

Anti-Corruption Act Needs You

We need to make the Anti-Corruption Act a reality, but can't do it without citizens joining together.  You can help by telling your members of Congress.

Repugnants Self-Dillusioned

Repugnants are such self-serving frauds:
* Talking brave but bowing to paranoia;
* Talking patriotism, but promoting legislation that hurts our economy;
* Blaming their faults and failures on someone else;
* Talking sooooo intelligent, but seldom objectively considering the facts;
* Always claiming to help small business, but the only benefit small business gets from their policies is what dribbles down from mega-buck corporations for whom those policies were actually written;
* Talking Christian, but rarely, if ever, actually caring about 'the poor, the infirmed, the aged', or caring for the orphans and widowed. Absolutely NEVER 'loving their neighbors', much less 'loving their enemies';
* Demanding a strong and large military - so they can find a war and make billions for their industrial contributors;
* Talk about caring for and including all citizens, but do their utmost through deceit and manipulation to disenfranchise those who offer nothing to the Repugnant Party.

Do you support continued growth instead of going backwards?  Then go ahead and link to this, and send it out to others who want a future instead of returning to the past.

Was Biden Rude?

Short answer, NO.  I think we've all smirked or openly laughed at someone when their comments were ludicrous.  Ryan's comments were predominantly misleading or false.  Some half truths, but more than two-thirds of Ryan's comments in the debate (69%) were blatantly false according to various fact finding organizations.

Review of Pres Debate #1

The problem with getting your information and making a decision based solely on a debate is that either or both candidates can lie through their teeth, and you don't know it.  To be informed you really must look to their previous statements and records to ascertain the truth.

Both did well tonight.  Obama gave specifics and facts, a couple of which he did stretch a little.  Romney sounded good and held his own with generalized statements and accusations, which, according to several fact checking research organizations, went against his previous public statements, and against his written proposals.

First Presidential Debate Live: 9-10:30pm

The first Presidential debate will be streaming live on this blog starting at 9:00pm.  Get your soda and sandwiches prepared, and chase the dog out of your comfy chair.  Then come back to watch it with us.

Each Did More Than 5

Recently several of us reviewed U.S. legislation over the last half-century.  I admit I am a Democrat, but it was shocking even to me to learn that each of these men, both confronted with intense obstruction by the Republican party, produced more positive results in their INDIVIDUAL administrations "For the People" than the previous 5 Republican presidents COMBINED!  It was reassuring to learn that, if I truly care about my fellow citizens and my country, I am in the correct party.

Romney's 47% Lie

To Get To Romney's 47% Guess-timate Of U.S. "Moochers" You Have To Include:

• Everyone receiving Social Security (which they paid for when working).
• Everyone receiving a military pension (which they earned).
• Everyone that received a small business loan (which they're paying back).
• Everyone receiving a federal guaranteed student loan (which they must pay back, or have their wages garnered).
• Everyone that received a tax break for energy conservation improvements to their home,
• Everyone that received a government guaranteed mortgage (which most are paying back to VA, FHA, etc.),
• Every farmer/rancher that receives farm subsidies (mostly large agri-corps, so should be scaled back to benefit ONLY small farmers),

Who He's NOT Including:

• Oil companies that receive BILLIONS of U.S. tax breaks (which they've said they DON'T need),
• Large mining, lumber, and agri-corps that receive use of public land for a pittance of the true lease value,
• U.S. corps that manufacture goods in other countries with much cheaper labor, but import their goods to the U.S. at next to NO import tax, because they're "U.S. companies",
• Foreign companies that import to the U.S. at lower import fees because of trade agreements,
• Foreign nations, even "enemy" nations, given tax-free "sovereign embassy" properties in U.S.,
• Catholic and Mormon churches, that both hold vast profit-making, business properties, paying NO taxes on those business ventures, because they are religious institutions,
• And, certainly NOT least, Congress, who is nothing but a rich man's welfare club.

To Traditional Values Coalition

One of our "traditional values" is truth.  Without truth nothing you do or say can be respected.  Obviously, though, you believe, as does Romney, that the American people are simple minded, gullible fools that will accept anything as truth that you feed them.

Obama's statement that you and Romney refer to was made BEFORE the attacks on our embassies, and Obama NEVER used the words "sorry", "apology" or "apologize".  Nor did he make any reference to or innuendo toward apologizing.

I fear you may be correct about the gullibility with many Americans, but I hope not to the extent that your lies will win an election.  As does your prima-donna candidate, you prove your deep contempt for the intelligence of most citizens, as well as your lack of integrity to live by one of our most important "traditional values" - the Truth.

Romney Still Using Worn Out LInES

Romney keeps returning to worn out lines and false issues.  In his convention speech he regurgitated the issue of Obama making apologies for America's misdeeds.  Obama never made such an apology.  For the truth on this here is the full article from Factcheck.org.

Romney Attacks Military Cuts Ryan Supports

It seems Romney and Paul can't get coordinated regarding a few issues. For one, they walk two separate paths on defense spending. Click Here to read the full article.

Romney/Ryan Cater To Billionaires

(Exerpted from Public Citizen Newsletter, 8/21/2012)

One of Paul Ryan's first assignments for the Romney/Ryan ticket was to go to Las Vegas and hobnob with billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and other super-wealthy people.  Adelson has pledged to spend as much as $100 million of his own fortune to get pro-corporate, anti-progress candidates elected this fall.

With his current estimated net worth of $24.9 BILLION, Adelson could spend $100 million on the presidential election every four years FOR THE NEXT MILLENNIUM.  He’s just one of the many modern-day moguls who can and will spend whatever they want contorting the world into their own twisted fantasyland.  By some estimates, total spending on elections this year could exceed $10 billion.

People are joining organizations like Public Citizen to fight back.  A strong campaign has begun for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.  That is the insane Supreme Court ruling that allows oligarchs like Sheldon Adelson, along with corporate “citizens” like Koch Industries, ExxonMobil and JPMorgan Chase, to spend literally AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY WANT turning our democracy inside out.

Seven states — California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts New Mexico, Rhode Island and Vermont — have so far called for an amendment. Thousands and thousands of Public Citizen activists helped make these campaigns successful.  They are advancing amendment resolutions or ballot initiatives in many other states, including Colorado, Montana and New Jersey.

96 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 29 members of the U.S. Senate have formally endorsed an amendment.  Campaign efforts have been stepped up to build even more amendment momentum in Congress.

Public Citizen and their organizational partners have helped advance resolutions in over 400 cities and towns throughout the country, with many more on the horizon.  They've opened another avenue for each citizen to join in efforts to regain our government "for the people".

Romney Caught In Another Lie

Still curious about all the Bain Capital comments you keep hearing?  Who are they?  What are they?  Here it is in an easy to understand nutshell.  The videos included on this page at Huffington Post are factual and very informative.  Now you'll know what this issue is all about.  Check It Out ...

Thank You Massachusetts

Thank you Massa-sucksit. You proved yourselves to be emotional rather than rational voters when you crumpled to the fabrications of the Republican media machine. In the process you disembowled the hopes for affordable health care for millions of citizens in the other 49 states.

You erroneously assumed that because your republican-created (Romney) health care program is both an administrative and financial fiasco that a national program would be likewise. One interviewee remarked on national TV, referring to the establishment of your health care, "We've already been through all this once. I don't want to go through it again." We can draw from that an underlying attitude of, "I don't care about anyone else's needs if I'll be inconvenienced." That's fairly consistent with the attitudes of every citizen of Mass I ever met.

On a positive note, though, your news media just gained two more well-kept, well-pampered and, according to their daddy, quite available headline makers for their attention. Massachusetts - where "tory-ism" lives and thrives.

No comments needed. That's just MY opinion entered here on MY blog.

Sen Nelson's Right On!

Sen Bill Nelson of Florida unveiled a sensible plan on the floor of the Senate today to upgrade our election processes. His plan will provide for six regional primary election days, all between March and June. Election dates will rotate between the regions every presidential year, so eventually every state will be part of the early-voting region.

The two-year presidential race we've seen this time is ridiculous by most people's standards of tolerance. There is no real advantage for a race to take such time. In fact, it disadvantages voters. Last year we should have been focusing on local races. Instead of learning about local candidates all we heard in the news were updates about presidential candidates. Many letters to editors complained about that throughout the year.

The only advantage to early caucus and primary dates is that those states receive news coverage and a little notoriety for being early. Yes, some local businesses make money as campaigns trail through their towns. That doesn't include very many towns and businesses, and those campaigns would trail through those towns regardless of when the elections were held. Results in early-voting states rarely have any bearing on the eventual outcomes of elections, so where's the real advantage to the people?

Nelson also proposed grants to states to help develop internet voting systems, as well as systems to allow everyone to vote by absentee ballot. I'm not sure I agree with that last one. There are many disabled voters, traveling business people, and members of the armed forces that cannot get to their polls on election days. I agree that these people should be allowed absentee voting.

Millions more every year, though, are simply too lazy to rise from their easy chairs to exercise their right to vote. They probably comprise 96% of those continually complaining about the government they refuse to be part of! If they're too lazy to inconvenience themselves only twice a year to vote, do you really believe they'll be willing to think through major issues and cast wise ballots? In addition, there would be a lot of wiggle room for fraud in an open absentee ballot system. It would also place considerable increased burden on local and county election workers who already work on election days for less than minimum wage.

Sen Nelson also proposes abolishing the antiquated electoral college. In his words, "The goal is simple: one person, one vote". Currently if a candidate wins the majority of citizens' votes in a state the Congressmen of that state should cast their ballots in the electoral college for that winner. Nationally, the candidate that receives the most electoral college votes is deemed the winner, even if their opponent received the majority of citizens' votes. In 2000 Al Gore won the most popular votes, but Bush received the most electoral college votes. The people's voice was overridden by the electoral college.

Congressmen are not legally bound to cast their electoral college votes according to the people's wishes. I suppose our founding fathers wanted to assure they could override citizens' choice if they had real grievances with the winning candidate. As though their voice was more important than that of the populace. Abolishing the electoral college would require legislation separate from the bulk of Nelson's proposal, as it would require a Constitutional change.

All in all, I give Sen Nelson a hearty, "Hoorah!", for taking this bull by the horns.

McCain - A Moral Obligation?

On the campaign stump today in California John McCain said he thinks we have a moral obligation to remain in Iraq. He previously declared we should stay there until we have achieved victory.

As to achieving victory, I remember Bush claiming victory many moons ago from an American aircraft carrier. If we haven't really achieved victory yet then it's only because Republicans kept moving the goal line. Hey, Haliburton and other major Republican contributors are making too much money there. Why quit now, right?

Regarding the issue of our moral obligation, there was a time when I agreed that we needed to stay in Iraq. We gave them almost two years to develop a constitution. It took our forefathers only a couple months, and they had no examples to follow. We've allowed them five years to build a reasonably sound government structure. Our founding leaders had that in place before Georgie (with aid of the French) beat the Redcoats.

We can train a soldier for sixteen weeks, throw him into battle, and he can compete with the best anywhere in the world. Iraqis have had five years to develop a strong police and military force. They don't even have to raise capital to buy their equipment. U.S. taxpayers are giving it all to them, to the detriment of our own economy and military. I've often wondered if they're stupid, lazy, or do they just not care enough?

Now Republicans claim we must stay in Iraq until they have a strong economy. They had a stronger economy before GW came along. It only takes three to six months to open a corner "mom and pop" shop here in the U.S. It shouldn't take them that long, since, again, the U.S. taxpayers are paying for the assistance the government allows them to start businesses.

I'm assuming all the above is true, since I learned it from our government spokespersons. And we all know they wouldn't lie to us. No, Mr. McCain, we have given the Iraqis more than ample time. We have paid our moral obligations to them in full. The only reasons for remaining there any longer are so staff officers can secure further promotions and your party's large contributors can secure billions more in profits.

Whooptydo - Romney Endorses McCain

After McCain has the nomination every Repug in the country will endorse him. This is just a ploy that lets Romney say, "See, I supported you before you were the nominee." It really isn't much support, since Romney had very few delegates to offer.

These guys are such transparent liars. It was only a few weeks ago that Romney was referring to McCain as a dinosaur of the past along with many other unflattering references. Now he adores the guy. Now there's a classic flip-flopping $3 harlot for you!
