Ted and Rupert Sitting in a Tree

Ted Stevens gets his home raided by the F.B.I. and I.R.S. I guess being a complete whore for the Oil Industry has its consequences.

And Rupert Murdoch buying the Wall Street Journal (the Prestigious, inbred, bastion of the right) will eventually (clown up) and Fox News the rights holy grail of a news paper (but not change its politics). The leading prestigious newspaper tucked under every arm of the "holier than thou" will be nothing more than a tabloid screaming it's position instead of trying to nuance the same nonsense.

In the end the right wing, conservative, monied power elite's favorite rag will now be dressed up in clown makeup and drag the whole bunch down with them leaving Reverend Moon's "Washington Times" as the leading rag of the right wing elite.

This is fantastic I love it. That veneer of prestige and elitism of the monied Wall Street reader (most just carried it around never reading it) have lost their flagship.

Like putting McDonald's Arch's at the front gates of all their Country Clubs their air of superiority self dissolves into a tabloid reality of O'Reilyness, and will bring the eventual rejection by the salt of the Earth who's loyalty they trounced. Leaving now only the Armageddonist fanatics and boozy soaked partisans to carry the flag of Conservatism as the Neo Con's implode on the Hill.

Well done - they have done themselves in quicker than the progressives can even blog about it.

The Destruction of America

I pray for peace in the middle east - have been since I was old enough to realize what was going on. But that doesn't validate the divide and conquer tactics of the RNC that has turned American's against Americans for that and that alone the RNC and their mouthpieces are treasonous traitors.

-----------------
I love how Jeb Bush got his start working with ex-bay of pig Cuban exiles in Miami real estate - hmm Bay of Pigs did Kennedy have anything to do with that....back and to the left, back and to the left.

This has been a decades long overthrow of our government by Bush and his Nazi loving grandpa Preston - rigging the laws and padding their already lucrative profits.

They are rich enough not to have to destroy America from the inside but they do it anyway because their god isn't J.C. Nope it's cash and to such an extent that they would undermine the very foundations of this government (separation of church and state) for their own political and monetary gain.

This government was born out of centuries of repression by the Church and their puppet Kings.

Since the day the Magna Carta was written in the 13th century to the birth of the Constitution in the 18th century - (that's 5 centuries people) we tried to shed the yoke of oppression, and in less than three hundred years our allegedly elected leaders are giving it right back. Read your history and wake up. Your country has been hijacked. Did World Trade Center #7 really collapse from a few small fires inside or debris from the twin towers - look at the video it was "pulled" down - demolition style. These guys in control right now - it would be okay if they were just greedy but they are destroying our country on every level, health care, education, environment, diplomatically, even economically as the artificially high cost of fuel impacts every single business out there including your disposable income, and pitting us in an artificial Us against Them battle when we are all Americans. It's an outrage.

But just go on playing he said - she said - while your laws - the laws of your country get more and more rigged and distorted and skewed to favor the rich and corrupt and hide accountability.

It's not what they say it's the laws, learn the law and help to promote good law - especially in finance, conflict of interest, and politics and the environment. They gut a mountain, pollute the watershed and don't have to clean it up because of the way the LAWS are written - and the laws are written by the lobbyist and industry the government is supposed to be overseeing. It's unbelievable that it has gotten this bad - the FOX is completely in charge of the Hen House!

The fact that they cloak themselves in the Flag and Religion makes me sick. Their religion is money, above all and everything else, and to hell with the Constitution and the separation of powers doctrine. How can you be lord and dictator and run the executive branch with supreme executive power if you have a strong separation of powers doctrine? They can't mutually co-exist.

So the the FIVE century long struggle to shed dictatorial theocracies that still mire the middle east gets torn apart, chipped away at as our rights, and laws slowly erode. We didn't want supreme executive power concentrated in the hands of one person for good cause. But the conceit of the Tories lives on in the Neo-Cons - they know best and we are just the great unwashed.

To ol' W laws are an inconvenience as opposed to the bedrock of civilized society. He chooses which laws to follow and ignore. His cronies more loyal to him than the Constitution and America itself lie under oath and erode the independence of the Justice Department - and the Judiciary.

Activist judges? They want puppets. Are they ignorant of history or don't they respect the century long lessons that mankind has had to learn? The one thing for sure is that they crave absolute power and more money than they need or could spend.

So it goes and the brilliant design of our government is trashed through loop holes and propaganda media manipulations to stop voting recounts and turns American against American Red State vs. Blue State. And the one common thread through the atrocities of World War I to today - the quest for control of our global resources, the oil - goes merrily on, and the one common American name on the top of that oil trash heap of war, environmental degradation, international terrorism and blood money is not Kennedy but BUSH.

Enough with abortion already, already

It's called a political football people and for one I am tired of it being the centerpiece of the political debate.

Isn't it curious how abortion, gays and haircuts all come to the front during election time? All that talk is a smoke screen. The real issues are the laws, loopholes, deals and policies.

Do you think the politicians want us talking, budgets, access, ethics, conflict of interest or financing or even the environment and education - nope not a peep - they would rather throw the old footballs out on the field and watch everyone get spun up.

Any religious sect that wants to seize power in the United States to codify it's dogma and force it on all the citizens of this great vast and diverse country is an enemy of the Sate, treasonous, Un-American, and ignorant of history. You want to ensure war hand over the keys of the state to any organized religion.

We have struggled for Freedom and liberty and shed our ancestors blood for it - I'm not about to tolerate or vote for any crackpot who doesn't "get" what this Country is about, or how come it is so important to preserve, or understand the centuries of history that led up to it's being. The religious right is tyranny in robes, pedophiles and money grubbers.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Religion is a "belief system" based on myth and miracle, but still codified dogma as a source of law. It pre-dates the the Magna Carta. Bottom line - you don't have to be a certain religion to be a good person. Yet there are organized religions out their right now who think killing is acceptable - if it's the other guy and his other religion. And our Pastor in Chief is a known liar yet he claims to be ohh so religious. Please stop falling for the hypocrisy. It's nice you are so religious and you are so wonderful and go to Church, but the body is the temple of the lord and it is an individual journey to enlightenment we all take with as many different roads to get there as there are individual people. It's not a one size fits all reality it never has been and never will be. We are all born into different circumstances. Do you think an entity or force who made this world and universe wouldn't have one religion, one color, one species etc. if it/he/she wanted it - think - don't blindly accept. Explore, investigate and above all be honest with yourself. I see god in everything and in every way, in every moment of the day but I do not belong to an organized religion and I use my consciousness and my conscious to guide me as I explore and experience life in all of its vast diversity. It is a rich cornucopia of cultures, beliefs, and REALITIES. You have been given free will and the power of thought to draw your own conclusions.

When it comes to politics VOTE your pocket books. Religion and spirituality is a personal choice, based on a personal decision, based on personal life experiences, and a personal journey. Individual freedom and independence to allow you to do that is what this country was founded on.

The separation of church and state is a bedrock foundation of liberty. Without it this country ceases to exist and becomes a dictatorial theocracy on the level of Iran.

Who's the best MANAGER and the least corrupt with the most integrity and the most experience. He's the guy/woman who gets the job. To the extent a candidates personal (religious)beliefs cripple his or her judgment in preserving and upholding the Constitution is when religion should enter the discussion.

Running this country is a business - period - and a nasty one at that. Anybody who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves. At this rate the zealots will be pushing for fetus voting rights....if they are going to be protected by our laws - why not give them the right to vote? Should a pregnant woman get two votes? I'm being ridiculous to make a point. Believe what you want to believe and live your life according to those circumstances and principles and in time you will notice your point of view will change. It has to it may even change back over a course of a life time. It evolves and unfolds just as you do and your Journey through life.

Know that the politicians would rather have us talking about esoteric issues, abortion, the morality of gay consensual sex, and expensive haircuts anything other than who they get their money from. They don't want us to take the time and effort to look behind the curtain at their shady business deals, policy manipulations and connections.

In the end Who THEY are in bed with is the issue - always has been always will be.
