Lists

Joe McCarthy had his Blacklist. It was HIS folder of people he called Communists either by direct association with the Communist Party or indirectly, people who knew people who knew people who once or never really had anything to do with Communism. In the heydays of crazy paranoia to even be considered as a potential entry onto that Blacklist was a death notice warning you that any second or day or week your life as a free American was or would be over. It was a list filled with lies and innuendo endearing to a Republican who feared freedom more then anything else and for democracy, because it might actually find Senator McCarthy a fraud.

The Enemies List was a special preoccupation from a paranoid and pathetic President Nixon. Afraid of anyone discovering his failures Nixon was always on the offensive. In this President’s mind there was no need for checks or balances and the all of the balance of power should be his. Taking cues from the history of Senator McCarthy and the simplicity of mitigating fear and loathing, Nixon had it out for anyone who ever contradicted his actions, questioned his sincerity or demanded fact when fiction was proven. This Republican sought dearly to come president, and he plotted and planned even more sincerely to maintain HIS power by placing into question who WAS really a patriot…people on his side or anyone else as enemies of the state.

Creating enemies is ploy a great perceived plot in which you insist you ARE an innocent bystander being run over by the sheer politics of others. Your intentions are pure, so you say; God is on your side, the Stars and Stripes flow bigger and brighter on your front lawn, and both Jesus and General Washington sing you a lullaby at night whispering in your ears “God Bless America”. You create enemies because of an insecurity that haunts you as if Halloween occurred every day. In American politics you usually have very little to offer to the common citizen, but you become wise enough to understand what fears and phobia those same simpletons enjoy. Never offer a solution is your advice too many particulars with that, but provide reasons to distrust, diminish and destroy. Find the foolish fancies of the self inflicted victims, the misunderstandings of those who refuse to compromise, and pathetically placate the poison that stirs inside the soulless interiors of the most insecure.

Politics in the USA have become an ugly demonstration of a poorly written Reality TV script. Compromise somehow makes you less manly, and in America it is still a man’s world, a white, heterosexual man’s world to be exact. Facts are fodder for propaganda, truth supposedly speaks for itself, even if YOU have spoken anything but! Round Three of the Republican Debacle and more lies, more fabrication more fiction erupted like Mt Vesuvius. When the liars themselves were called into question regarding the real evidence, suddenly a Blacklist/Enemies List was created. Following in the footsteps of two infamous Republicans before them the men and women on the stage at Debacle Number Three, being cowards and liars were smart enough to never answer the truth, but blamed the moderators for wanting to find it.

Dust In the Wind

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla) has been absent from the most votes in the Upper Chamber according to a new analysis by Vocative in partnership with GovTrak.us Of 1,198 total votes, Rubio has missed 99, or 8.3 percent, since taking office in January 2011. During an interview on CNN, when asked about his amount of absence from voting Senator Rubio said, “A lot of these votes don’t mean anything. They’re not going to pass, and even if they did, the President would veto them.” During the latest GOP debacle Senator Rubio was asked about his absence from the Senate and his disillusionment as a Senator. The answer provided by little Marco was “easy as Sunday morning”…you are a liberal biased media. You are part of the main street press who hates anyone from the Republican Party. This is not a question that should be asked on such an esteem stage as the main stage of a three ring circus. Ask me why Hilary Clinton isn’t hung by her neck for the murder of the 4 Americans who died in Benghazi!

Dr Ben Carson denies he is or was a spokesperson for Mannatech Inc, a Texas based supplement maker.For ten years, he interacted with the medical-supplement maker accused of false advertising.  Dr Ben said, The wonderful thing about a company like Mannatech is that they recognize that when God made us, He gave us the right fuel. And that fuel was the right kind of healthy food. You know we live in a society that is very sophisticated, and sometimes we’re not able to achieve the original diet. And we have to alter our diet to fit our lifestyle. Many of the natural things are not included in our diet. Basically what the company is doing is trying to find a way to restore natural diet as a medicine or as a mechanism for maintaining health. Mannatech has been sued, taken to court and has been found to be nothing but a giant wealth making scheme. Ben Carson starred in a PBS special for the company, and his image and quotes can be found on their website. When asked about how he now felt about being a part of company full quick hands and hoax and perhaps not being so good at vetting (kinda sorta like the non-vetting John McCain did for his VP) the Doctor huffed and puffed and abashedly pouted. His response after a thunderous applause from the base of vile T-Baggers in the audience was “They know me and what I can do.” Then somehow even though the facts were as plan as the nose on a face, Carson whimpered and cried these are gotcha’ questions ask me something real like how flat is the Earth and how Noah built the Ark.

AND NOW along with Rubio, Carson and the rest of the guys and one gal who insist that facts have no place at the debacle stage…I mean debate stage there is a revolution that NO LONGER will the moderators have input in which questions should be asked…BECAUSE if a candidate said something, did something, and HE or SHE is asked to respond it is a gotcha’ question. The GOP presidential candidates think we all live in FOXLAND and thus the matters of truth are like dust in the wind.

GOP Gleanings

Gleanings from a Debacle called a GOP Debate…

NO/NADA/ZILCH government is the best kind of government according to Dr. Carson. Yeppers government is way too big and needs to be stopped just like the college professors who might espouse their First Amendment rights and talk too much of the Progressive Liberal mumble jumble on Campus. Or the ladies who asked for rape and now don’t want the gift that God bestowed on them, pregnancy. Government needs to be more accepting of its citizens except if those citizens do not pray to the kind of Jesus with which Ben Carson is most comfortable. Tithing 10% is a gift that keeps on giving, and giving that way to the government makes you a better Christian…ERRR, UMMM,I mean American.

If I am a millionaire and take in millions from PAC”s that is different than being the kind of millionaire who is just self-serving and greedy. If you make millions and try to pay me, your marionette, to run for office those millions are the kind of money that make a difference. There is a divide of wealth but it is not the fault of the GOP supported politicians who have permitted EXXON to pollute the Earth, or Monsanto to pollute the human body, or the Koch’s to undermine democracy. Nope those millions are not spent to oppose freedoms for the underclass, just to keep them UNDER.

The main (lame in Sarah Palin-ese) street press is a friend of the Democrats. If I am remiss in doing my Senatorial job because I want to be president and I don’t show up for work BIG DEAL. Who asked a biased newspaper to notice? If I was on the Board or a spokesman for a shyster supplement company and my picture is on their website, you are blaming me for them using my name, and bio on their advertisement? If you dare to challenge me on the hideous and ridiculous comments I make during my campaign based on heresy Sean Hannity picked up from website created to make people to look really stupid, you have some nerve!

I may have gone bankrupted a a few times, okay maybe more times…who hasn’t. I may have taken my corporation to the woodshed and laid off thousands of workers…tough times call for someone else to take the blame. I shut the down the government because I can and if the economy went bad…my bad!

In the state of Colorado a GOP debate maybe one question about open carry, maybe a few God Bless America responses to how The Founding fathers and Jesus approve of militias.In the state of Colorado where two mass shootings, Columbine and Aurora decimated lives of the innocent, and not one GOP personality could provide any comment on the lawlessness of uncontrolled gun control!

Let's wonder

Let’s just wonder a bit…you are a female and suddenly your father or brother find you hot and decide since you are family they might share their family jewels with you, you of course are a women so common law says you are a man’s possession. You have a daughter, she has had her first period and is beginning to look more like a woman than a young girl, her father, brother uncle and even granddad think she is quite the LADY and to demonstrate their approval they enjoy her body. You or your daughter are raped, it IS incest at its worst! In the Ben Carson  presidential administration, it is indeed no big deal as President Carson believes that either you or your daughter most likely aroused your dad, her dad your brother, her uncle and that like the many other men of the GOP you deserved to be raped. (Wear sensible clothes, clean the house make dinner and obey).Candidate Carson is bragging about how he has no tolerance for women who even, via incest rape, should have the audacity to consider abortion. Women who abort are somehow like slaveowners and we all know just how bad slaveowners were. Candidate Carson bleats and burps out his advice that no matter how badly the woman must have behaved to ask for the rape, Jesus has provided her with a gift in her becoming pregnant. In President Carson’s world it won’t matter if you are not Chrisitan at the time of rape, because after he lays his hand on the Good Book at his inauguration his next move will to make the USA a Christian nation as it was originally intended. So with President Carson you will have two choices (like the Spanish Inquisition) convert to Carson’s brand of Christianity or die!

Ben Carson suddenly has gained ground on another lover of women, Donald Trump, who now fusses and fumes that if he were a female maybe he would prefer wearing a burkha so as to not have to waste so much time putting on make and styling his hair. The Donald is on his third marriage so he IS a CONNOISSEUR of ladies. Why he even brags that he would date his daughter she is so hot! Not far behind are the ever “women’s lives don’t matter” duo of Rubio and Cruz who want all Planned Parenthood Clinics closed because if women really, really, REALLY need any of those lady intrusive tests they can ask their husband to drive them to a Christian kind of clinic where any passage from the New Testament, a firm whack on her vagina from a Pastor or Priest or just keeping her legs shut will cure it all. Ya’ never heard Jesus mention Planned Parenthood in any of HIS parables. And not to be left out is Miss misogynist Carly Fiorina, believing that equal pay for women demonizes men and maternity leave makes you lazy and family leave is just for sissies. 

We are told by the talking heads (just the heads no brains included) from FOX that the democrats have invented a war on women. We listen as such esteemed misogynists as Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter insist that a liberated female is one who still believes she is not that extra rib from Adam. We are accused of being heathens because any true Christian (remember for the GOP history is kind of dicy) knew that the Founding Fathers were Fathers,not Mothers but let the their little ladies keep the hearth fires burning, mended their soiled Revolutionary War uniforms, and have plenty of children, which was JUST what helped win the war. If you are a female, love a female, have mothers, daughters, nieces, aunts, female friends or sisters in your life and you are considering voting for any of the T-Bagging primary presidential candidates you must hate yourself a whole lot. 

The Incessant Insistence

The Incessant Insistence for the Immediate!…

I walk a few blocks from my house to the gym. The walk takes about 20 minutes and it is a really great warm up prior to my actual workout. If I am in a less than grumpy mood I notice the blue of the sky, perhaps which ONCE family owned business is now out of business due to LA’s very outrageous high retail spaces, or sadly the additional amount of people either living on the terraces of vacant buildings or pushing around a shopping cart with a few plastic bags of their ONLY possessions. I think to myself why while the sky is blue and the day seems so good for me are there people who must go out of business because it takes too much money to transact business, people living on the streets when this city has so many vacated buildings and how I might be able to survive using my own shopping cart as my means of transportation and storage for what is left of my dreams. When I am in my morning MOODY self my focus is still on the people for whom I recite, “there for the Grace of God go I”, but then I focus on a whole bunch of people who seem so preoccupied texting on their phones, speaking extremely loud on their phones; oblivious to any living creature in their way who at that moment as THEY walk right into you PRESENT this face of poop popping out of their mouth’s because YOU didn’t move out of their way demonstrating very little interest for anything or ANYONE but their immediate needs.

My mood then deepens and I sigh and stew and begin connecting some dots in my mind which lead to how I view the conditions of our American political landscape. I then recite the mantra… “The Incessant Insistence for the Immediate!” Politics has become about RIGHT this minute… never a concern for the facts of history, no need for REAL information about topics… if it takes more then 5 minutes it is wasting time, FORGET if it is truthful sound bytes work better and everyone knows you can try and pretend someone ELSE misquoted what you really meant to say! I shift from politics and get in a pissy hissy state and turn my attention to the media (having to quote Sarah Palin on this) what seems more and and more the “lame street media” I recall how any tragic events are showcased immediately without any facts formulated, but as long as you are first to throw out a few statistics of the abused or murdered…insinuate this might be a terrorist action…place a microphone in front of the cousin who lived three blocks from the perpetrators step fathers home…pan the area of devastation but not really the exact location but close enough is good enough…AND of course give it a theme and theme music…It is CONSIDERED news. It satisfies a societal disregard for real and replaces it with what sells: THE INCESSANT INSISTENCE FOR THE IMMEDIATE!

The people walking down the streets on their phones, driving while texting walking triple file who expect you to move because what they are doing at that moment IS important seem satisfied NOT to notice the lives of those around them. There is this urgency that MY immediate needs must be pleasured. If you are NOT selfish or self-serving you ain’t gonna get what is promised to you. If you don’t rush and hurry you will never arrive at the next milestone so you can rush and hurry again, again, and again. The folks who love them some banner moving left to right on a the news channel with words like Trump up 10%, Hilary lied, Obama this or that, 7 black churches burned, NEVER need more information that that; perhaps because while all that is happening they too are on the phone waiting for the next immediate thing to happen. THE INCESSANT INSISTENCE FOR THE IMMEDIATE is certainly slowing down the human aspect of living.

Dear Paul Ryan

Dear Paul Ryan,

Dude, you are quite the trending SOB, err, I mean GOP (Government Over-reaching Politician) celebrity. So cool Bro, for you to insist that before the Freedom Caucus (These GUYS crack me up they are the most restrictive group of Fascists in Congress) even consider you for the Numero Tres muckity muck job in the US Government, you MUST be able to take adequate family time leave to be with your wife and kids. Must be nice to find the free time from work to spend precious hours with your family. I imagine Dude/Bro that your family is exceptionally special as compared to say the middle class, minimum wage earners or those on the poverty level cause somehow in your days as just one of  the regular Ayn Rand Anarchists you implied that work makes you free, kind of like Arbeit Macht Frei, used by the Nazi Government. (Your T-Bagging Buds love them some Nazi analogies so I thought I would accommodate).And there is NO time for family in that formula!

See Bubba, I find it troubling that the position of Speaker of the House could be given to anyone who CAN”T work maybe 80 hours a week considering the kind of consequences you and your cohorts wearing tri-corned hats have provided for this country …the anticipation of another Government shut down…insisting that social needs are less important than the lobbyists needs from the military industrial complex…trying to shut down the Environmental  Protection Agency because your major donors would rather make more money from dirty air then provide clean air… All of this, just because Barack Obama is president)…(and I know your Party of White Robed we love Kim Davis is so pissed off that our democratic process helped elect the president for 2 full terms). Bro, you are just gonna dig in your partisan heals like the failure before you John Boehner and pretend that Hilary Clinton’s emails, Planned Parenthood’s falsified videos, and the success of Affordable Health Care are ALL dangerous terrorist plots to make America a Communist, Non- Christian nation. So all of that takes about 5 hours of your time…creating more jobs, better safe infrastructure, reinstating fair and equal voting for all and dumping the idea that Corporations are People who love paying for politicians like you is why you need an extra 75 hours.

Dude/Bro/Bubba all we hear is that you are DA’ MAN, the numbers guy who still believes in the Reagan-omics, trickle down economics errr VOODOO ECONOMICS and that you will bring intelligence to the negotiation table. PA-LEEZE Bub, you are a wealthy guy removed from real life pretending that if you wear your baseball cap backwards flexing atop a piece of gym equipment you are a real DUDE American kind go to guy. You speak Republican-ese Dude, you know the kind of language that comes from both sides of your mouth. You speak that New American Evangelicalism “Do unto others what you WOULD never do unto yourself”, you speak hypocrisy, like I want family time, but you peasants DO NOT! And to think you are the third in line should something happen to the VP and President!

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

Marsha Blackburn is the latest propaganda puppet to be placed on display by a very dysfunctional, pathetic, and paid for for by THE Corporations who are People political party (Republicans). It seems she will be the newest Select Committee Chair by the Tea-Baggers and wage a false war against Planned Parenthood. Ms Blackburn furrowed her manicured brow, clenched her wrist containing a gold watch and a thin bracelet with perhaps just one diamond on it and said her constituents are saddened, outraged, and infuriated that Planned Parenthood is selling fetus body parts. (The constituents Ms Blackburn is portably talking about are her Evangelical billionaire puppet masters and of course the RNC, and Ms Blackburn even admitted that perhaps the video’s of dismembering fetal parts are phony… but insisted if there is smoke there must be fire!) I expected her to don her fireman’s helmet or dress like a Southern chic Smokey The Bear.

The propaganda anarchists at the RNC are getting a bit savvy with their War on Women, they are now figuring out if a female handles issues of vagina’s, and all those other lady’s parts it won’t come across as icky as when a bunch of older white men try to place lock and key on uterus’s. Ms Blackburn is an avid anti-abortionist claiming to be Pro-Life (now remember within the Conservative Christian Party Pro-Life also is defined as Pro-Gun/ Pro-Death Penalty/Anti Food Stamps/Decrease in social security and that 50 times tried and true Anti-Affordable Health Care.) She will be permitted to have at least 3 other women on her committee( those T-Baggers believe as long as you have women disparaging other women there is no way any of them can be called misogynists.) Something is rotten in the dizzying dens of Planned Parenthood, and America can not be great again until every last vagina gets a an Evangelical permission bar code, or the women of color and poverty just die because they CANNOT afford health care!

Ms Blackburn without any hesitation states that there are many other clinics in this nation who can do the precise services Planned Parenthood provides (of course without that fetal harvesting thingie-do), and having NO Planned Parenthood is no big deal. We have so far spent over $4.5 MILLION on the Benghazi Witch hunt, so I am sure the thrifty T-Baggers who love to cut budgets will have no problem in spending just the same amount on their next round of Joe McCarthyism tactics. (One might stop for a moment and wonder if that $4.5 million dollar fiasco had been spent on better security for foreign embassies in the first place how the Benghazi tragedy might have been averted…and if the next bunches of millions that will be spent on the newest Commitment To Anarchy Committee were to actually go to women’s health how many more lives might be saved.) But then again one does not have to wonder that the only purposes of the T-Bagging/Republican Party is to keep the stupid even dumber, the fearful even more afraid and Democracy from finding form in this nation again! Hey Marsha, You Go Girl! Hope your daughters and granddaughters are proud of you!
