Healthcare Strike Out: Will The Dysfunctional and Imbecilic GOP Play Dirty To The End?

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Dead GOP ElephantNixon’s Southern Strategy failed miserably this summer. Republicans LIED, cajoled, fear-mongered, had Sarah Palin piss in her pants, and called a duly elected BLACK president an illegitimate Kenyan socialist.

Incredibly, the dead on the rails elephant is vowing to fight on — on the same mindless obstructionist path.

Here are the fighting words of Fox News’ LIAR/ANALYST Dick FAT Morris:

“If they beat us in the Senate, we will fight them in conference. If they beat us in conference, we will fight them in the House. If they beat us in the House over healthcare, we will fight them over cap and trade. We will fight them over immigration and amnesty. We will fight them over the deficit. We will fight them over the debt. And we will fight them in 2010. We will fight them in the House. We will fight them for Senate seats in Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, and Arkansas. We will fight them in Colorado and North Dakota and California and Washington State. We will fight them in Illinois and in New Jersey. We will never, never, never, never give up! Our country is at stake!”

LOL!

Dick, we already know that you are a THIEVING MEDIA TERRORIST, pontificating to a racist, bigoted constituency of mostly Southern whites, while sucking in their hard earned dollars.

Desperate and insecure, Republican whites see years of unfettered privilege slipping away, and it terrifies them. They are scared stiff as the pillars of white supremacy are being torn down systematically, for a better America. The politicians and pundits who have been exploiting racial fears to win elections are equally terrified, as their constituency shrinks.

The “Change We can Believe In” train is rolling — all over a prostrate and defeated GOP elephant.

[ Adapted From: EvilGOPBastards.com ] — Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, the criminal war in Iraq, equal rights, civil liberties, church-state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment, tax fairness ….and now HEALTHCARE.

No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident.

The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical “family values,” “small government” and “lower taxes” propaganda, the Republican Party is a racist criminal conspiracy bent on betraying the interests of the American people, in favor of plutocratic interests, absolutist religious groups and white supremacy enthusiasts.

Fuck You!

Christopher Hitchens on Sarah Palin: ‘A Disgraceful Opportunist and Moral Coward’

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,


   Christopher Hitchens
Christopher HitchensHitchens on Palin:

“…. Everything she does is for effect, she’s, and is always deniable. She could switch back in a minute. At the moment she thinks her tea party crowd wants to hear this kind of thing so she’ll say that. She’s been out to say, ‘well, I don’t know but I think the President ought to produce his birth certificate. I’m not saying it isn’t a good question.

Then later, cause she’s got to go to the Gridiron dinner in Washington, and learn how to use a knife and fork and be taught by Fred Malek. She takes it back. She’s a disgraceful opportunist and a real moral coward.”

“…. At least Richard Nixon had the ill fortune to look like what he was: a haunted scoundrel and repressed psychopath. Whereas the usefulness of Sarah Palin to the right-wing party managers is that she combines a certain knowingness with a feigned innocence and a still-palpable blush of sex.

But she should take care to read her Alexander Pope: That bloom will soon enough fade, and it will fade really quickly if she uses it to prostitute herself to the Nixonites on one day and then to cock-tease the rabble on the next.”

Wanda Sykes Unveils Sarah Palin’s “Pop-Up” Christmas Book

About: Christopher Eric Hitchens — is a columnist and literary critic at Vanity Fair, Slate, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets. He is also the Roger S. Mertz media fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Hitchens is an English-American, born April 13, 1949. His books — the latest being God Is Not Great — have made him a prominent public intellectual, and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He has been a columnist

As a political activist and observer, polemicist and self styled political radicalist, Hitchens rose to prominence as a fixture in the left-wing publications of both his native United Kingdom and United States. Hitchens’ departure from the political left began in 1989 after what he called the “tepid reaction” of the European left following Ayatollah Khomeini’s issue of a fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. The September 11, 2001 attacks strengthened his embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he calls “fascism with an Islamic face.” Hitchens’ adoption of interventionist foreign policy, employment of the term “Islamofascist” and his notable support for the Iraq War have caused his critics to label him a “neoconservative.” Hitchens, however, refuses to embrace this designation, insisting, “I’m not any kind of conservative”.

Hitchens is often regarded as one of the most prominent exponents of modern atheism and is described as part of the “new atheism” movement. Hitchens and fellow atheists Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett have often been referred to as “The Four Horsemen.” He is a secular humanist and anti-theist, and describes himself as a believer in the philosophical values of the Age of Enlightenment. His main argument is that since the concept of God or a supreme being is a totalitarian belief that destroys individual freedom, free expression and scientific discovery should replace religion as a means of teaching ethics and defining human civilization.

Hitchens is known for his ardent admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson, and also for his excoriating critiques of Mother Teresa, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Henry Kissinger, amongst others. These views, along with his argumentative and confrontational style of debate and writing, have gained him both praise and derision. The San Francisco Chronicle referred to Hitchens as a “gadfly with gusto.” In 2009 Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the “25 most influential liberals in U.S. media.” The same article noted, though, that he would “likely be aghast to find himself on this list” because it demotes his self-styled radicalism to mere liberalism.

Retaining his British citizenship, Hitchens became a United States citizen on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial, on his fifty-eighth birthday, April 13, 2007, exactly 264 years after Jefferson’s own birth. In September 2008, he was made a media fellow at the Hoover Institution, and is currently writing his memoirs, entitled Hitch-22 Some Confessions and Contradictions: A Memoir, due for publication in the spring of 2010. He currently resides in Washington, D.C. [ MORE FROM WIKIPEDIA ]

Blessed are the Warmakers

Tags: , , , , , , ,


By: Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez                       

Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez. Click to view larger picture.They will speak of peace and wage war
They will wage war and call it peace
They will mercilessly wage war
and be hailed as peacemakers

Never in history anywhere in the world have leaders waged war not believing it to be a noble cause. And of course, wars are usually waged against infidels and against evil in the name of God. Now, President Barack Obama appears to have joined those ranks. Truthfully, he has not joined the brutes of history, i.e., Ghengis Khan or Caligula. Instead, in maters of war, he has become quintessentially American. He has followed in the footsteps of James Polk, Teddy Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and most remarkably, his immediate predecessor, George W. Bush, in continuing to wage wars of aggression under false pretenses. And like his named predecessors, he will escalate the war(s) to end the war(s).

And now, back to the Tiger Woods saga, or better yet, to things that really matter. For instance, whatever happened to balloon boy? And how is Sarah Palin’s book tour coming along?

That seems to be the focus and attention span of American media. More time is spent on covering sex scandals, reality TV and its flight-by-night stars and empty headed celebrities than on the story of our times: the American assertion of the right to wage worldwide permanent war. The president is not only engaged in a costly war in Iraq, but is also escalating the war in Afghanistan. Worse, he is also laying the foundation for a third war in Pakistan.

His acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize was a scene straight out of the Twilight Zone. Rather than speak of peace, he made the case for war… for so-called just war. Every tin pot dictator and warmonger around the world was pleased. At home, right wing politicians such as Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove and even Sarah Palin herself heaped extraordinary praise on the Commander-in-Chief.

Mind-boggling.

And as noted, the news cycle has moved on. The war(s) is no longer an issue, even though the country cannot afford to wage them. Yet in poetic language, the president has defended and sanctioned his predecessor’s war policies, no less, during the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo. And not surprisingly, the right wing is pleased.

Apparently, defending the notion of a -just war- does not include denouncing unjust wars by name: Iraq.

There are unjust, illegal and immoral wars and all of them spell Iraq.

Yet, the president could not get himself to name Iraq. Truthfully, had he done so, it would have exposed the past administration to the International War Crimes Tribunal and other courts of justice. Not mentioning Iraq does not absolve or insulate the past administration from criminal or legal claims at the Tribunal. It only gives them protection and cover during the tenure of the current administration.

No president anywhere can make an illegal war legal, moral or just.

It was bad enough that the president was nominated for this prize while waging two wars and while calling for escalation in Afghanistan, but worse is that he obscenely justified war, while receiving this prize.

Obama in Tank

Perhaps at fault here is not the president, but rather, the committee that bestowed him this honor. What were they thinking? It is obvious; Bush raised worldwide tension every time he spoke arrogantly of war, of fighting evil and doing so in the name of God. The world frowned upon this Texas cowboy.

Now, they have embraced president Obama. He speaks of peace but wages war. At least he’s not Bush.

President Obama gives credibility to war. Gives it a good name. He speaks of committing more troops as though he were sending Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops and Peace Corps volunteers overseas. His eloquent talk permits U.S. troops to continue to kill by the thousands, including through the use of unmanned drone technology. No blood on anyone’s hands here. His smooth talk makes easy their dehumanization. He calls them incorrigibles. His predecessor called them evil. He calls them evil. As long as not too many Americans are killed on the battlefield, the sanitized wars will continue. And the wars will continue until the nation’s enemies resemble us, until everyone shares our values and partakes in our customs, until they all speak English and pray to a Christian God.

Blessed are the Warmakers.

Hoaxster Sarah Palin’s FAKE Bus Tour

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. … We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation.” –Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser in Greensoboro, N.C., Oct. 16, 2008

The Daily Beast Reports: On her book tour, Sarah Barracuda pretends to be one of the people. But she’s really winging across the country on a private jet.

As much of her entourage, including HarperCollins publicist Tina Andreadis, risked a collective case of White Line Fever, covering more than 3,000 road miles during the book tour’s first week, Sarah Palin herself seems to have remained above it all, apparently cosseted in the luxury of a Gulfstream II 12-passenger jet rented from Universal Jet Aviation of Boca Raton, Florida, at a cost of more than $4,000 per hour.

Sarah Palin As Nixon

This little twit is on a deliberate mission to dupe, deceive and trick an audience of STUPID REPUBLICANS a.k.a. “Folks” into believing, and accepting, that she is “ONE OF THEM,” when the she knows….that she is the most fraudulent, attention seeking, greedy, hypocritical narcissist ever to come out of Alaska! Worse than FAT lying hypocrite Dick Morris.

She probably knows she cannot win a general election, but is well aware of the only trick in the Republican book since Nixon: The Southern Strategy — a cynical criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people through fear-mongering and race-baiting, in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups. [ READ MORE ]

With that in mind, Sarah the Barracuda will continue milking her tea-party terrorist suckers dry ……all the way to 2012 — when, if nominated by the Republican party or the “Tea-Party“, the Alaskan IQUITAROD queen will get the opportunity to deliver the concession speech that McSAME denied her in 2008.

War criminal; murderer of innocent Iraqi children, Dick Cheney, has slammed President Obama for projecting what he calls “weakness” — Politico reports: On the eve of the unveiling of the nation’s new Afghanistan policy, former Vice President Dick Cheney slammed President Barack Obama for projecting “weakness” to adversaries and warned that more workaday Afghans will side with the Taliban if they think the United States is heading for the exits.

In a 90-minute interview at his suburban Washington house, Cheney said the president’s “agonizing” about Afghanistan strategy “has consequences for your forces in the field.” [ READ MORE ]

Small-Minded, Selfish, Bigoted, Power-Mad, Racist, Murderous Little Imbecilic Twits: 888 Reasons To Hate Republicans!

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


I just finished re-reading the book — “The I Hate Republicans Reader: Why the GOP is Totally Wrong About Everything.” I wish the author could update it to 2009.

From Publishers WeeklyClint Willisis mad as hell, and he isn’t going to take it any more. For readers similarly mad-who think Republicans are “insufferable stinkers” or that they’re “small-minded, selfish, arrogant, power-mad, murderous little twits” – this book will surely satisfy. This anthology gathers dozens of pieces, including excerpts from bestselling books by Michael Moore, Molly Ivins, Eric Schlsosser, and pieces by Paul Krugman, Paul Begala and other well-known liberal voices. Alan Dershowitz highlights the injustice of the Supreme Court’s decision in the 2000 presidential election; Hunter Sl. Thompson remembers Richard Nixon after his death (“He was the real thing-a political monster straight out of Grendel“); Paul Begala recounts the “mutually beneficial relationship” between former Enron CEO Ken Lay and George W. Bush. As election time nears and the 2004 presidential election gears up, liberals will appreciate this handy reminder of Republican wrongdoing. [ READ ALL REVIEWS]

In 888 Reasons to Hate Republicans: An A to Z Guide to Everything Loathsome About the Party of the Arrogant Rich, the author(s) list numerous reasons why you should hate Republicans. Here are a few:

 1.   Republicans stand for raw, unbridled EVIL and GREED and IGNORANCE smothered in balloons and ribbons — READ: Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck.
