The U.S. chamber of commerce has built an army of 6 million members and a war chest of 200 million dollars to target “vulnerable” Democrats and replacing them with Republicans.
The five Republican stooges in the U.S. Supreme Court, recently ensured that American democracy is for sale — to the highest bidding corporations, by taking away all restrictions on corporate ability to buy elections.
This was preemptive move for Republican dominance in the 2010 and 2012 elections.

Obama’s complaints at SOTU prompted an Alito a YOU LIE! moment.
TIP FOR THE IRS: At a rally over the weekend, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Min., proposed that people should protest the health reform bill, if passed, by not paying their taxes.
Overheard: “I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them.” “…….[s]cientists are studying Sarah Palin’s travel between Alaska and Florida carefully. They hope to learn more about the flight patterns of that elusive migratory species, the wild Alaskan ding-bat.” — Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) after Sarah Palin directly asked his constituents to vote him out of Congress.
Meanwhile, Former Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) is not backing off his claim that a six-and-a-half-year-old same-sex marriage ruling in Massachusetts could conceivably pave the way for men marrying horses. [ SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS ]
——————————————————————- Virginia Thomas’s ‘Tea-Party’ Group: Some Comments From The Huffington Post
applescruff: I wonder what the right would feel about a spouse of a liberal Supreme Court Judge launching a pro abortion or pro gay marriage organization?
I can hear the accusations now.
I have also wondered how the right would have reacted if Michelle Obama had been a member of a U.S. secessionist group like St Sarah’s hubby, Todd? Can you imagine how quick that campaign would have been hobbled?
The Right is so blatantly hypocritical it now goes without much notice. They are like a dog that can’t be potty trained, finally the owners give up and just let them crap anywhere they want and ignore the stench.
——————————————————————- USAFree1 — Question: Just how further in our faces do they have to get before we do something about it?
They thumb their noses at normal ethical behavior.
They laugh at those of us who buy into their subversion of democracy.
They rule and we mew like cowed sheep to slaughter.
Oh I forgot.
They already take our kids to slaughter for corporate wars for foreign resources.
Do you remember?
One of the talking points for invading Iraq was to make sure we had OIL and prices wouldn’t go through the roof. Bite the bullet; drink the Kool-Aid; weep at the degradation of democracy.
The biggest black “Tom” of all “Uncle-Toms,” “pitch black” justice of the supreme court, Clarence Thomas, has apparently given his “white wife” the go ahead to form a “Non-Profit” “Tea-Party group!”
The LA Times Reports: The nonprofit run by Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is likely to test notions of political impartiality for the court.
“I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you,” she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama’s “hard-left agenda.”
In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative “core principles,” she said.
“I adore all the new citizen patriots who are rising up across this country,” Thomas, who goes by Ginni, said on the panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I have felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great.” [ READ MORE ]
Tea-party activists claim to represent Main Street, not Wall Street. So will they let corporate money rule America? Note: This is an EVIL scheme devised by the Republican machinery to ensure that the GOP has ample resources with which to fight in upcoming elections. Remember, in 2008 Obama and Democrats walloped the GOP thoroughly well — through small donations by individual citizens!
The notion of right-wing “populism” is suddenly fashionable following last Tuesday’s special election in Massachusetts, when even stiff millionaire suit Mitt Romney could be heard braying about the “royalists” who rule Washington. But all such fakery was exposed yesterday by an event of far greater moment. The Supreme Court’s narrow, poorly argued and highly political decision in the Citizens United case — which removes century-old restrictions on corporate influence-buying — is the culmination of a Republican dream. From this moment forward, what the original American populists once called “the money power” will be enabled to overwhelm all other forces in American democracy using sheer wealth — and that includes every “tea party” activist with a dissenting opinion about bank bailouts, executive abuses or crooked contracting.

[ Tough Cop - James Crowley ] [ Enlarge ] Yesterday after I wrote about the arrest and humiliation of black Harvard scholar, Henry Louis Gates Jr., a hefty chunk of my Twitter followers dis-appeared into thin air …poof! Given that my twitter account is less than two months old, I remain with just but a handful of followers.
Well, good riddance, and I wonder why you didn’t leave earlier, for most of my postings are No BULL! In fact some Rush Limbaugh enthusiasts have called me a racist by way of viciously worded emails — classic cases of the “pot calling the kettle black.”
Republicans Ahoy!
When asked by a reporter to respond to president Obama’s comments, the first words out of Sgt. James Crowley’s mouth was: “I didn’t vote for him.”
If he didn’t vote for Obama, and he is proud of it “Joe The Plumber” style, then I am compelled to assume that this thug is a Republican.
With no shame the cop James added: “I support the president of the United States 110-percent.” Typical Republican hypocrisy!
“I didn’t vote for him” is a coded message to his fellow TEA-BAGGERS: I just humiliated a “frail nigger,” and I’d like all of you to know that I am one of you!,….and I need your support.
Judging by the rapidity with which my twitter followers deserted me, Sgt. James Crowley must be getting a flood of sympathy internet wide. Hey, the man just “disciplined” an “uppity nigger.”
I have a hunch this policeman knew who the professor is, and like all rogue white cops, decided to put a “nigger” in his rightful place — in JAIL!
President Obama’s comments shattered a “white delusion” following his election last year — that there is NO MORE RACISM in America …….LOL! Conversely, I think Obama’s election awakened the ugliest racism in this country since the 1960’s. Ask Lou Dobbs.
The President himself has experienced racism, and he outlined this very clearly in his book: “The Audacity of Hope,” therefore his reaction should not surprise anyone. Every single black man WILL react similarly or worse — including ReTHUGliTOMS like Justice Clarence Thomas, RNC mascot Michael Steele and even confused bum, Alan Keyes.
….”Although, largely through luck and circumstance, I now occupy a position that insulates me from most of the bumps and bruises that the average black man must endure I can recite the usual litany of petty slights that during my 45 years have been directed my way: security guards tailing me as I shop in department stores, white couples who toss me their car keys as I stand outside a restaurant waiting for the valet, police cars pulling me over for no apparent reason. I know what it’s like to have people tell me I can’t do something because of my color, and I know the bitter swill of swallowed-back anger. I know as well that [my wife] Michelle and I must be continually vigilant against some of the debilitating story lines that our daughters may absorb from TV and music and friends and the streets about who the world thinks they are, and what the world imagines they should be.” Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope
The black man in America, and for that matter in all the lands colonized and/or stolen by Europeans, has suffered savage humiliation for hundreds of years. We are like dogs that have been beaten and whipped for years. Our manhood has been trampled on, we have been shot and killed randomly, we have been savagely NOOSED and dragged behind “Confederate” pickup trucks, an unarmed Amadu Diallo was shot 41 times on false suspicion of being a serial rapist, Abna Louima had a plunger rammed into his rectum by white New York policemen, our women have been raped and sodomized by white men for hundreds of years, we have been lynched mercilessly in America, South Africa, Australia,……we are scared, we feel terrorized, it is in our DNA, and therefore any “threatening moves” by any white man will elicit a sharp “defensive” reaction, hence the professors yelling and insults.
It disgusts me that bloggers are running around the Internet “screaming niceties” about this cop: “He was the police officer who tried to save the life of former Boston Celtics player Reggie Lewis, a black man!” ….”he has taught a class on racial profiling for five years at the Lowell Police Academy.”
Hogwash!
This “punkified” logic is as deluded as the thought that with the election of Barack Obama as president, RACISM ended!. Some of the worst bigots and racists in this country preach and teach JESUS!
I say, Obama’s election has exploded racism, and there is plenty of evidence in this blog.
Start with Sarah Palin, then graduate to hard core Limbaugh …..and keep reading, …..America is stinking with racism from top to bottom!
Yesterday after I wrote about the
