teach them all


And so you want to vote for Mitt Romney, because he says he is rich and after all isn’t that the foundation of the United States. You insist that all that matters in the 2012 election is the economy, character will find its way with wealth and morals are just in the way to a better bottom line.
Mr. Romney, your entire political herd of handlers, all FOX Noise entertainers, Rance Priebus, millionaire Rush Limbaugh and any other idiot pretending to be concerned citizens of the Unites States caught lying for you I am NOT ENVIOUS of your wealth. I AM however, PISSED that in your acquiring your wealth you have decided to NOT pay your fair share and insist that I not only pay mine but also pay the consequences of losing much needed revenue from the likes of you to support programs for minor things like health, education and food. I am Not JEALOUS of your accumulated riches, but I am ANGRY that you decided to hide that wealth in secretive places with such names as Swiss Bank, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda. And in your deceitful delusional world you and your puppet masters still say you are the correct man to lead this nation. I Am glad you were successful enough to buy and sell most of the Americans for which you would like to be president, but I AM so disappointed that as proud as you say you are you still keep a deep veil of secrecy on your income.
"Mitt Romney bets against America,"  "He bet against America when he put his money in Swiss bank accounts and tax havens and shelters and also set up a secret company, the shell company in Bermuda, which, by the way, in order to avoid disclosure, he put in his wife's name right before he became governor of Massachusetts." said Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (Huffington Post)
And so you, (self described angry voter) you smugly said as 2010 rolled around, sitting in the comfort of your home, that the current crop of political criminals need to be taught a lesson so I will either not vote in November, or I will just be spiteful and vote for the other man/woman. And so, pointing your finger in the air as if to make some point that you hold the power as to which bum wins, you stayed home on election eve pontificated to your friends shouting ‘that’ll show them and felt so proud that you made a point. And so standing on your soapbox insisting they are all alike so what does my vote matter, you prompted some friends or family to renege on their freedom to vote telling them until the right candidate even considers running for office we will hold our breath. 
And what we have due to your inability to do nothing more then rant and rave and ruminate, we elected people like Congressman Joe Walsh who said,  that Tammy Duckworth wasn't a hero because "all she talks about" is losing both her legs when the helicopter she was piloting was shot down in Iraq in 2004. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer  requesting that the Supreme Court overturn a ruling that allows state employees to keep their same-sex partners on their benefits, including health insurance. Congressman Allen West stating that President Obama "does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning, and having that title of American ... he'd rather you be his slave." (Huffington Post)
And imagine as you pontificate and perform your pretend offended dance of disgust comparing all candidates as the same and once again in 2012 do not vote what monsters will arise from the dead? Makes you wonder if those elected because you stayed home will even permit you to vote when 2014 comes around? 
And so, its a game a popularity game. Vote for Romney because you dislike Obama. Vote for the rest of the Republican/Tea Party because issues like equality, civil rights, health care, fair wages get in the way of your freedoms and of course the economy. Make the Republican/Tea Party the majority because the president didn’t say the word Gay 100 times just 78... didn’t pray to the right Jesus... didn’t decide to nuke the enemy but tried to find reason and rational...didn’t march with the Occupy movement...didn’t wear his flag lapel pin on the top right hand corner of his jacket...didn’t make gas prices go down as quickly as they rose. Vote for Romney because all he talks about is making the Salt Lake City Olympics a success, likes to fire people...is proud of his wealth...wines and dines with billionaires...won’t talk about his governorship of Massachusetts... hates Gays, Immigrants, Women’s rights...Poor people.
Wait, you don’t fit into any of the above, but all you want to do is make a point that ALL politicians are the same and you want to teach them a lesson. Cool and as you do nothing, watch as the Constitution becomes misconstrued as a book of the Bible...as less people are given permission to vote...as the middle class turns invisible...as the division of wealth grows in the favor of the 1%. 
Give ‘em hell as you teach those lousy politicians a lesson or two, who could possibly lose when you act that way?

the economy, stupid


I know, I know its about the economy stupid. Anything else like rights, freedoms and equality can wait until we create more jobs, cut spending and lower taxes. I know, I know, its a matter of loving Capitalism and loathing Socialism you un American idiot. I know, I know its about too big of a government when it comes to creating labor opportunities and a government not big enough when it comes to restricting personal choice you Commie. I know, I know you have received the facts and fancies of Democracy from such noble laureates as Limbaugh, patriots like Palin, and intelligencia from the noise channel called FOX. I know, I know!
But then explain this to me: The supposed nominee from the Republican/Tea Party for president of the US has various amounts of money stashed in foreign banks and has not disclosed any information as to how much and why. He doesn’t feel that personal part of his life is any business for the average American voter and is all huffy when asked to explain. He says only those jealous of his own financial successes, or those too lazy to become as rich as he are asking the questions. He adds any hard working American is really not that interested in his overseas un-taxable income. If its about the economy stupid why does he feel so empowered not to provide his fair share of taxes or income to a nation struggling to stand on it’s feet. If its about the economy you idiot why is the man seeking the leadership of this nation so arrogant as to tell us what to do with our money but then live by his own financial rules. If it is about your economy why are you supporting a man who shares little of his income but wants to define how you spend yours? I know, I know HE is not Obama!
I know, I know you needed a change in politics you needed politicians who had America in mind the kind of America your church elders preach from their pulpits. I know, I know this group of politicians promised less government intrusion in your lives and more self boot strap pulling up. I know, I know you needed to elect men and women with backbone, moral stamina, and a good Christian to make America the leader it once was. I know, I know, the Dems had two years and just couldn’t unscrew the mess created by eight years of the Republicans. I know, I know, you listened to people like Dick and Liz Cheney, Karl Rove, Bill O’Riley, Ann Coulter and voted a ticket of true Americans into office who while living off the dole expected everyone else to fend for themselves. And I know, I know it was about the economy, nothing about the rights listed in the Constitution dummy!
But then explain this to me: Why Mitch McConnell’s priority for Senate is to make Obama a one term president. The first plan of action taken by the Republican/Tea Party Congress was to read an abridged version of the Constitution. Actions against women’s reproductive rights trumped job creation. Pledging to place into a law an amendment prohibiting same sex marriage was a key legislative priority. Supporting Corporations as people and permitting an unaccountable funding or is it bribing candidates running for political office. Insisting that teachers, firefighters, police are burdens to finding balance for the deficit while ignoring any attempt for the 1% to even pay their fair share of taxes. Trying to dismember any and all attempts to stop the abuse from financial and lending institutions. And oh yeah, lying about affordable health care hoping that the stupid will ignore a law created to help them stay alive and well. 
I know, I know its about the economy but any time a jobs bill an idea to develop projects for the infrastructure, provide some financial relief for the unemployed, equalize the payment of revenues is attempted the Republican/Tea Party refuse to discuss let alone debate. If it WAS about the economy then all of this partisan bull shit would have dissipated and disappeared.
What it is, is about is the success of a group of selfish, self serving wealthy men and women controlling the facts and selling a bunch of bogus to people so eager to blame others for their own miserable life. What it is, is about bigots, racists, and religious hypocrites setting an agenda for the lemming who has no idea how to think and loves to be told how to hate and who to hate. What it is, is about the very wealthy who have prostituted Democracy and Capitalism as a means to divide and conquer and keep fair and equal at bay. And what it is, is the fact that those of us who don’t vote, think this is just a phase, consider all politicians as evil, think their lives are okay so who cars about anyone else, are angry because all promises were not kept have stepped aside and permitted the ship of fools to set the agenda for this great nation of ours.
It is NOT about the economy, stupid, it is about the stupid leading the way. How did we let this happen, how?

why oh why


Its Friday, and a weeks worth of news, noise and nonsense has collectively congealed my brain and any synapse still working have prompted me to consider if it is wiser to hold my head in the sand or sneak a peak at wishful thinking.

There is a debate brewing about calling the ACA a tax, a mandate a taxable mandate a penalty, a fraud, a socialist fraud a take over of all things American. Republicans are breaking their code of silence and criticizing a fellow Republicans. Rupert Murdoch a man of high moral value and honest intentions for no one else but himself is suggesting Romney has no backbone. Mitt has etch-a sketched over and over again trying to rewrite his own history regarding Romney-care. Democrats are finally patting themselves on the back hoping that no one one will make them stand up for their support of the ACA because when that happens many of the Dems lose their backbone and fall helplessly to the floor; as many a Dem is not sure if Obama-care is socialized medicine after all. And the Dems would rather never ever have to talk about the ACA.
Some, who loved the Roberts Court for its anti everything personal choice in the past, are now ready with the tar and feathers to hang the the Chief Justice because this time he did not play politics and was not the lovable activist judge he had been in the past. Some are sure Roberts IS playing politics by calling the ACA a tax thus providing fodder for the Romney campaign to shout this Prez hates Amerikans but loves to tax them. 
Some Republican Governors have demonstrated their love for lobbyists over the needs for their constituents and have sworn on a stack of Bibles that no matter how many of their citizens may die, no government money will be used to make a life healthier or to save a life in their state. No, they insist as they sit in front of their puppet masters political self preservation is more important than saving a population. We still hear that on day one if both Mr. Romney is elected as president or there is a majority of Republican Senators the ACA WILL be repealed. And of course the newly elected Congress and President will take the appropriate amount of time allotted by their paymaster health corporations and come up with a replacement.
And as they once again wear tea bags dangling from their hats, holding signs comparing Obama to anything Socialist, recite a schizophrenic version of the national anthem, quoting such patriots as Bill O’Riley, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, the Tea Party contingent of anarchists insist on denouncing any law created to in fact make their miserable lives better, easier, more equitable. But this time around those who just hate for hate sakes based on fact-less fiction bias, bigotry or bogus are joined by the billionaires who just love to keep the dumb dumber and a cadre of Republican politicians who seek fame and fortune.
Why oh why I ask myself as my head spins in wonderment and awe is there any question about about education, about three meals a day, about quality of life, about choices in living that life, about fair and equal access for Health Care? What is difficult in providing all Americans with something so easily found by those who can afford it? When did the quality of human life become so attached with the bottom line of a corporation who only recently in the mind of activist judges become people. And then I actually think why even bother when so many in this nation seem to think fair and equal health insurance is wrong.

this is my country


This is my country! Land of my birth!
This is my country! Grandest on earth!
I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,
For this is my country to have and to hold. 
(Song-“This Is My Country”- Don Raye)
My Dad, as a Pittsburgh Policeman, had access to to sparklers the kind of hand held fireworks your mother always worried would cause you to go blind. For many a Fourth of July celebration, all dozen families with kids living on Denniston Avenue would gather in front of our house at 1618A and as the sun set we would light up the street. There was a ceremony of sorts as the big kids (the older brothers and sisters) would say something Patriotic, the little kids recited a poem learned while attending Linden School, our parents and if any grandparents were around would talk about WWII and how free we are now. My Dad also had access to a huge American flag which during the day hung proudly from the tree in our front yard and prior to the lowering of the flag at dusk we would pledge allegiance.  My mother would turn up the volume on our combination TV/Stereo in the living room and as our sparklers went off you could hear the music to God Bless America, You’re A Grand Old Flag and The Star Bangled Banner being played.
I knew America to be great. I knew America was safe. I knew that America brought me a loving family, wonderful trusting friends, and summer nights that made me feel I could do and be anything I ever wanted.
"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what can you do for your country. "It is now the moment ...to recall what our country has done for each of us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return." (Speech- ‘Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You’-President John F. Kennedy)
We had elected a president who looked more like your cool uncle then someone’s grandfather. He spoke to young people, people just a little older then me at the time and I knew when he spoke he could see me through the television set. It was the Fourth of July during the early 60’s and you could see pursuits of happiness falling from the skies. I became aware of politics but more so the idea that what made this nation great was the people with real intentions, honest goals, and wisdom to make take the initials of the US to actually mean all of us.
I may have been naive but I believed that chances were given on merit not because of money, hope lingered due to perseverance not nepotism, and choice blossomed freely because YOU made it so. It was a time to look at America and want to give back because this country had provided you with so many options and opportunities. The next best thing was to lend a hand and help others pull themselves up by their boot straps.
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy (Song-”I’m A Yankee Doodle Dandy”- George M. Cohan)
During my professional career in the communal service arena, I had the opportunity to work with Teens. My tenure as a Communal Worker began at the Pittsburgh JCC and one major portion of my job description was to produce, direct and choreograph the annual Teen Musical. 1976 was the year we did a show called ‘Dandy’ (we had a small budget so I re-wrote some of “Yankee Doodle Dandy” thus the name ‘Dandy’.) Here were 135 teens from grades 9 through 12 singing, dancing, acting and dealing with one of the most Patriotic musicals to hit this nation at the time. My kids in the show were intelligent, creative thinkers and many a discussion pursued about the content of each show in which they performed or participated.
We spoke about America, asking if all the red, white and blue was just a bunch of bunting used to disguise the real issues of black and white. If all the songs were sung to avoid the real discussion about fair and equal. If the dances were just a way to avoid walking to find consensus and causation. We talked abut being an American and what did being an American really mean and didn’t mean.
Fourth of July that summer found me chaperoning 40 kids in Israel and watching the fireworks of America in a foreign land. I had a few of my kids from the play with me while in Israel and we reflected on the glory of this nation and knew we should never take it for granted.
“...I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal..." (Speech- ‘I Have a Dream’-Martin Luther King)
It was not until the late 90’s that I fully understood or read in full Dr. Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream Speech’. I was living in the Bay area  spending as much time in San Francisco as possible. I had come out as a Gay man but it was more of a secretive coming out rather than a wham bam here I am coming out. I was an ED at a JCC and still felt that no news was better news then spilling all the beans. I had to grapple with my true identity. I had to grapple with how being a Gay man fit in with the American dream. There is a park in San Francisco and inscribed on about a dozen tablets in the center of this park is the text of the speech ‘I Have a Dream’. I finally read the speech, stopping at each tablet, reading it silently then crying out loud. Dr. King somehow was talking about me and about the struggles I was facing. I understood, like a whack on the head what freedom meant and how freedom should be pursued.
That Fourth of July not only had I come out as Gay I came out as a proud Gay American Man.
I have celebrated the Fourth of July in a wide variety of ways. Reflecting back in time I also realized each year of the celebration has provided me with nuances, insight, sensitivities and thought. I am proud to be an American, but smart enough to know being an American should and could be a process of growth and  evolution.  And because I inherited this citizenship it is also something I should never take for granted.
This is my country! Land of my choice!
This is my country! Hear my proud voice!
I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,
For this is my country! To have and to hold.
(Song-“This Is My Country”- Don Raye)

three strikes


Three strikes and we are out. 
I am tired of hearing how elections don’t matter because all politicians are the same. I am tired of speaking to people telling me that this president has not done enough of anything so I will not vote for him or the other jerk. I am tired of smart people being stupid and stupid people becoming the ‘deciders’, as George Bush once said so non-eloquently when he was the president.
I am tired as we face our day of celebrating our Independence from tyranny and tyrants witnessing politicians identified as Republican/Tea Party threatening the freedoms and equality our Founding Fathers lived, sought and died for. I can not remain silent as it is MY quality of life, the future life of MY kids, and the decades ahead for the greatest nation on Earth that is being tampered with and threatened.
Strike One:
You think we have nothing to worry about when a Republican/Tea Party dandy in New Hampshire believes teachers, mothers, and the president create criminals simply because we send our 5 year olds to Kindergarten.
A Republican lawmaker in New Hampshire explained his controversial statement last week that kindergarten leads to higher crime was based on statistics. Last week Rep. Bob Kingsbury (R-Laconia) told fellow Belknap County lawmakers that research he has conducted since 1996 shows a connection between the state's kindergarten program and higher crime rates, attributing it to children being taken "away from their mothers too soon."
In most any other period of history for this nation a politician making noise such as this would be laughed off the stage. But he is part of the elected majority of republican/Tea Party legislators in New Hampshire. 
Strike Two:
You think you have nothing to worry about because some yo-yo Republican/Tea Party Congressman from Illinois, chose to disgrace a Veterans service because she is a double amputee, a female and served this nation is a joke.
Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) on Sunday accused his Democratic opponent Tammy Duckworth -- a double-amputee veteran of the Iraq War -- of not being a "true hero" because she made her military service central to her campaign. "Now I'm running against a woman who, my God, that's all she talks about," said Walsh, a Tea Party freshman. "Our true heroes, it's the last thing in the world they talk about."
In another era of this country’s history a comment like this would have had leadership from all political parties ask this Congressman to apologize not only to this Veteran but to the millions of other military who have sacrificed and served our country.
Strike Three:
You think you have nothing to worry about when a Republican/Tea Party candidate running for Senate from New York claims that women’s reproductive rights, universal health care for all is silly stuff and has nothing to do with the pursuit of Independence in the first place.
A New York GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate has included in her stump speech the claim that America's fighting men and women are not risking their lives and dying to protect things like expanded access to health care or contraceptive coverage. Praising America's warriors as defenders of the Constitution in one speech, Long goes on to say, "They didn't die for what Kirsten Gillibrand is saying -- for the right to force religious employers to pay for their employees' contraception."
In another time a person who said the Troops are particular about why they risk their lives and for whom they risk their lives would be removed from ever running for any office.
This is America 2012 and we are faced with people running under the title of Republican/Tea Party who want to blame teachers for crime, Veterans as hero whores, and Troops as picky and choosy as to whose freedoms they are fighting for. This is America 2012 and the crazies have been winning and redefining how America should be defined.
Not sacred when friends and family STILL are considering not voting for the Democrats...not scared when you STILL hear about Independent voters not sure how they will vote...not scared when hate, bias bigotry ignorance win and sane, sanity and fair come in second.
Three strikes and America may be out!

loud is necessary


Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind. (“Blowin’ in the Wind”, Bob Dylan) 
Why is it that Romney, Ryan, Boehner and McConnell are at the ready with answers as to how quickly they will repeal and replace the ACA, but seem to stutter with slow motion words when asked with what will they implement as a substitution? Why is it that Romney, Ryan, Boehner and McConnell are sure fire quick draw marksmen in demolishing the ACA, but can’t find the right ammunition to to hit the target for its replacement? Why is it that Romney, Ryan, Boehner and McConnell consider the ACA a socialist intrusion into the lives of Americans but have little to nothing to say about how all the House of Representatives, Senate and President receive government sponsored health insurance. Why is that Romney, Ryan, Boehner and McConnell seem to think those suffering with life threatening illnesses, a history of poor to no health care have all the time in the world for these four buffoons to play politics, cow tow to their corporate pay masters instead of the caring for the Average American?
And why the hell are there people in this country so blinded by their own bigotry and bias to permit these fools to continue their pomposity, pandering and self serving ways?
And he is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us
Not our kind
Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we know that he'll never be one of us (“One of Us”,Jack Feldman)
Why is it that all the corporations, millionaires and billionaires who are proud to call Romney their man for president are all so shy in having their names made aware to the public? Why is it that these recipients of Citizens United are rah-rah-rah in buying and bribing their politicians, but seem so disgruntled and bent out of shape if their hush money is announced out loud? Why is it that  pride and honor can only be demonstrated in the dark by the purveyor of politicians and when announced to the world they grow angry and shy?
And why the hell are there so many people in this nation permitting the wealthy to continue to buy their way into government and not calling them out for their bribery and greed?
Are you lost
In your lies?
Do you tell yourself "I don't realize"?
Your crusade's a disguise
Replace freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done (“No More Sorrow”, Linkin Park)
Why is it that people who swear they speak for God, who stand at the holy pulpit stand upon a holier soap box insist that all life is a gift from God while shouting that anyone who diminishes that gift is a sinner. Why is that those people who believe only they can speak for God and his intentions for all things human insist abortion is an abomination but once the baby is born could care less on keeping it healthy. Why is it that those who have received the calling of the Lord or have paid enough money to employ others who are closer to God will burn down abortion clinics, murder abortion providers but will not lift a finger to keep free clinics open or support health universal health care for all? Why is it that a zygote has the right to life and the government should interfere in making that so, but hiring teachers and paying them a fair wage, equal access to health care for all and providing three nutritional meals a day for those zygotes IS not the business of government? 
And why the hell are there so many people in this land of ours who look the other way, ignore the facts and run from responsibility once they are asked to be accountable for their own ignorance and involvement?
Why the hell do the smart let the dumb run amuck, permit the lemming to lead and remain silent as the bigot roars? Silence from the sincere is not needed anymore. Loud is necessary!

hooey-phooey


Miserable Mitch McConnell, mutters, stutters, denies and deliberately lies, hoping no one catches on to his case of the political stupid.He considers a romp on Fox Noise a simple walk in the park and is sure he can, with great force, flee from the truth and travel into fiction. No longer for the Republican/Tea Party does it matter that fact is missing from their leadership, so speaking in the gilded cage that is Fox, Mitch McConnell describes 30 million folk without affordable health care as a sort of chump change. No one listens, so he thinks, as along as you call Obama a Muslim, a Kenyan, a Socialist and a Job Killer no fact to back those statements is necessary. Shout to the highest rafters that all Obama wants for this nation is for its citizenry to be healthy add just how un-free market that is and those with disease and illness will clap from either their death beds or coffins. Mr. Mitch means to lessen the load on the health carriers and add that weight to the average Fox viewer and any other finger pointing freelancer wandering this land called America.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell dropped by Fox News Sunday today to give his reaction to the Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act.
Wallace reminded McConnell that on Friday, he said if Mitt Romney wins the presidency and the Republicans retake the Senate, repealing the health care law would be “the first item on the agenda.” Wallace brought up one provision in the law that provides health coverage for millions of people who do not have insurance, and asked how McConnell and the Republican party “would provide universal health care.”
Wallace wanted McConnell to explain exactly what alternatives the Republicans have for covering uninsured Americans after the health care law is repealed, with McConnell saying at one point “that is not the issue.” Wallace shot back with, “You don’t think 30 million people uninsured is an issue?” (media-ite)
Mr. McConnell, if starting with 30 million people (and eventually and hopefully all Americans) is not the issue of writing an affordable health insurance law, what the hell is? If your heart and soul and concern is not for the people you supposedly were elected to govern where are your priorities? Is it your career, your income, your selfishness that matters? Do you ever get tired of being a marionette for people who in an instant once you become obsolete will discard you like the piece trash you have become????
Stern and intense, filled with no knowledge but a bunch hooey and phooey fed to her by her husband Marcus (cure the Gay) Bachmann, Michelle Bachmann steps forward to fuel a fire she loves starting. Ready to avoid the facts and ever eager to lead the listener astray, she pretends that her paper back edition of the Constitution, the one autographed by Jesus is all that is necessary to govern this nation. More concerned about job killing then killing the people who do the job in the first place, Ms Bachmann acting as Ms Congeniality for the Republican/Tea Party rants endlessly about the bottom line. Encased in her own Government paid for health insurance she demands that government interference for anyone else but people like her is evil and is the end of America.
Republican Rep. and former presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann was questioned on CNN over the Supreme Court’s health care ruling and its impact on the economy.
Bachmann announced that “there is no greater outsourcer of jobs than President Obama,” before adding that job creators and businesses both small and large cite ObamaCare is the “number one reason” they aren’t hiring. This Bill is a job killer, she added. (media-ite)
It is never about the people born from humans, but always about the people who via a Supreme Court filled with political opportunists and activists have been defined as human---Corporations. It is not about helping people to maintain a healthy life but always about a healthy bottom line. It is seldom a discussion about how do we help those who have little voice, even smaller sway but ALWAYS about those who speak with large sums of dough. And Ms Michelle pompous and pious prays to God in the same vile voice she lies to America.
And even worse than, is the mere fact these two puppets of the greedy may be the majority party in both the Senate and House this september being led by a   man who will say and do anything to promote himself and only he.
Isn’t all this hooey phooey toxic enough? Isn’t it time we stop it before it becomes unstoppable?
