Creeping Socialism

As with every campaign since the 1920's, any move to extend power to the people has been labeled "creeping socialism", but what does that mean? First of all it was one of the first "fear cards", after the Russian Revolution it was used to dissuade people from considering any socially progressive programs for it would lead to the downfall of the US. Utter bullsh*t!

The term "creeping socialism" was first used by Pres. Hoover in a speech. He was referring to domestic programs like the TVA, which was taken from the private sector and controlled by the government. He stated that this removal of programs from private enterprise would lead to the socialized state.

I bring this all up because of people that compare any social program offered by dems as somehow a move toward socialism. It is all total crap! The major candidates are capitalist and will always be capitalist and they would do NOTHING to jeopardize the strangle hold of capitalism on the country. So please shut the f*ck up!

New Poll--Hilary Loses

The newest Zogby poll shows that Clinton loses to every Repub candidate. The media has jumped on this as gospel and their news shows center around asking question on how Clinton lost her lead.

But the media seems to overlook the fact that most other polls show her in a strong position against the Repubs. Yes, this could change, but for now it is one poll out of many. I say stop watching polls and learn about the candidates; after all they will be representing YOU.

The media has already picked the top two in each party that they want to see in the election. They do not speak for me, I have my own opinion and will vote for the person that I feel will do the most for the American people. May I suggest you do the same.

The Politics Test!

The Politics Test!

WHY?

I have said much about the major media's failure to report real issues and the fluff for E! channel. For instance:

In Malaysia 5000 protesters were marching for equal rights under the Malay government and were severely attacked by the police. But yet, CNN reported that south Calif was on fire again. Wake up! sou Calif is always on fire this time of year. And then the story was all about the travel probs faced by travelers. Who could use this? If the travelers need it, then they are stupid! They are in the middle of it. If one is at home then this info is as worthless as tits on a boar. Then they moved on to a story about the shopping being done on "Black Friday". Why? There is a ME conference in Maryland, why not report on that and the people that will attend, to include Syria. that is a story in itself, but very little is said about their involvement.

The corporate media, CNN,MSNBC, et al, are just there for ratings not information. you do not agree? Then look at the anchors, thin good looking and no opinion. These are hired for their looks, not their knowledge of the world. Thank God for news writers or these people would have very little to say.

This is the media that your government wants you to have. It best serves the corporate world than the information world. Wake up, dumbass!

You Owe China

There is a lot of crap being said about China these days. Most of it is about them refusing to allow the Navy to dock in HK, or their military build-up or their probs with the toys they make and on and on.....

Here is something to consider--China holds about $1 trillion dollars of US debt. The questions we all need to be asking is why? Why, cannot the richest country in the world not live within its means? What does that do for national security? Could they call in the debt? Will they?

These are questions that all Americans need to ask their reps in Washington. This, if it continues along these lines, will become a major prob for our children. But most Americans could care less about that. Their children are important now, but their future is none of the parents concern, is their feeling. Why cannot Americans look to the next generation? It is sad that they are so damn self-centered and shallow!

Here is another question, how can a country that owes that much money be considered a success? If it were an individual we would send them to debt counseling. Maybe that is something the next Congress should consider.

It Is Socialism?

I have heard most repub candidates call most Dem plans as a socialized plan. Just another use of the fear card. Not one of these plans are a socialized plan, with the possible except of Kucinich. The use of the word socialism is just a use of fear to dissuade the public. Actually they are trying to equate it to Stalinism, and not socialism. They are not the same thing. Health care has become popular and has become a major issue and now they, the Repubs, are trying to equate it to the policies of Stalin and the old USSR. This should work well because too many are still fearful of the word, socialism.

Pakistan And The General

I am sure that most realize the situation in Pakistan could degrade into a huge problem for the US and the world. Musharaff is a general and the president of the country; Bush does not like this, he has told the leader that he must give up being leader of the army if he is to be the president. Do a little thinking on that! (pause for thought) Okay, do not hurt yourself!

It is ridiculous for Bush to make such a statement--after all he is the president and the commander in chief of the military. Where is the difference? Just another hypocritical statement from a hypocrite.

Bhutto The Corrupt

I was listening to MSNBC's Morning Joe and heard the host ranting and raving about Benazir Bhutto. About how when she was PM her admin was corrupt and ineffectual. Well, all that is true. She and her Husband skimmed millions if not billions from the people of Pakistan. Her husband as head of the agency that oversaw foreign investments in the country, he even got 10% of thye total package. Not bad it you like that sort of thing.

Consider this--Bhutto was educated in the West, even attended school in the US. Is it possible that she acquired her need for corruption and greed from the US? After all they are the building blocks of our government.

Just a thought!

Obama For '08

There seems to be a lot of controversy over his style of campaigning, but what is he doing wrong? i have said that he needs to be more aggressive, but I have reassess my position. He seems to be saying that he is change and that aggression is just an extension of the business as usual. He could be right. The voters are looking for change and he could very well be that change they seek.

He seems to be gaining in most polls, slowly but slowly. He taunts the experience thing, by saying if you are looking for more of the same, do not vote for me. A bold statement, but it seems to be working.

No one can predict how the people of Iowa, NH and SC will vote. The media is trying to with all the stories on certain candidates, but the people may have a different thought. I will wait and see just how effective the media is and how effective Obama is. It is an interesting election.

A Political Question

Okay, Giuliani is a liberal Republican and then there is Clinton who is a conservative Democrat. Now with that said would not Rudy be more of a Democrat and Clinton more a republican? Someone please explain this sh*t to me. If you have more conservative ideas then go be a Repub and vice versa. I just cannot understand the logic here.

I am a Leftist or an ultra liberal, if you will, nothing about what I believe can be said to be conservative, then why would I want to vote for a conservative Dem? Someone please explain the logic there. My choices in the next election could be a liberal Repub or a conservative Dem. Now that is oxymorons to the enth degree. So where would an ultra-liberal put his vote? Should I settle for one or the other. If I do not agree with either side would I not be pissing my vote away and betraying my principles?

Please! Help a brother out!

Why Are They Pushing?

Clinton that is. Why is all media so certain that Clinton is the nominee? Why are the Repubs so sure? Polls are one thing, but the people voting is another. It seems that the media is dictating to the voter who THEY want to be the nominee. To the point that they are sealing out other candidates.

BTW, they pushing Giuliani just as hard as they are pushing Clinton. My question is, will the public be swayed? Are they as uninformed and as easy as to allow their vote to be dictated for them? The caucuses and early primaries will tell the tale.

Any bets, sports fans?

Were You Expecting A Raise?

Not at work! The US deficit has reached another all-time high. $9 trillion, I believe. That means we are looking at another ceiling raise to compensate for this spending. BTW, the ceiling has been raised 5 times with Bush at the helm. So much for Repubs being for smaller government.

He recently, Bush that is, vetoed a massive water bill because he said it was too expensive. Did I miss something? But yet, the billions upon billions thrown at Iraq and Afghanistan is money will spent? The water bill was probably full of pork in one form or another and I would agree that it that is the case then trim that sh*t and go again. You guys voted for these ass wads, are you happy now?

Yesterday, the Dow lost 360 points, ouch! They say it is because of the sub-prime debacle. Actually the sub-prime lenders are under investigation and the sell off was the hedge funds running for cover. Rats deserting a sinking ship, if you will.

NOTE: There has been a few predictions that inflation will return. First of all, let me give you a little knowledge. The two most important things to the consumer is gas and food. These go up and seldom come down, but when the government figures the inflation rate these two are not part of the equation. Why? They say those markets are too volatile to be used to get an accurate picture of the economy. Really? Those two markets tell the story, these are the things that effect the people more than anything else. But we do not use it to keep the markets stable and profitable.

Just thought you might like to know.

Peace--Out!

The Media Is Anti-war?

I have heard this stated on many occasions, especially by conserv pundits. But I do not see it. They report some things that could be seen as anti-war, but for the most part they do not give these stories much air time.

Why do I say that? look at the anti-war movement; recently there was a massive national protest, but it got a 30 sec spot in most of the mainstream media. Why? well most media outlets are owned by massive conglomerates. as such they will not push anything that could be contrary to the position of the company. Vietnam was a war that could be reported without interference, because at that time most of the media was news oriented, now they are part of an entertainment division. That is why Britney, Lohan, et al get so much play. The media is in it for the ratings, not the truth.

The truth is out there, but you will not find it on TV!

A Safer Iraq?

Seems that things are getting safer in Iraq and Baghdad. Yes, this is good news. For two months in a row the violence figures are down. This could be a trend, we can only hope.

There seems to be a bit of reconciliation going on. That is good! Deaths and suicide bombs are down. That is good. Troop causalities are down. That is excellent news!

For now all seems to be a bit more rosy than in the past. The only concern is that it will continue; that some monumental screw will not return the country to the chaos of the past.

Kids And Policy

The president has vetoed the SCHIP and the Congress cannot override. Congress will send another bill that the president will veto and the Congress will not override. And the cycle continues.

The Dems used a child to taunt the Repubs on the bill. Of course, they jumped all over this and condemned the dems for using a child to sell their message. But come on, asshats! That is what politicians do. The Repubs, most namely the president, uses children all the time, whether it was "no child left behind" or whatever he is trying to sell as rule.

The most famous child being used as a political statement was the 1964 Johson ad which shows a little girl pulling petals off of a daisy and then it morphs into a atomic blast. All used to say that if we elected Goldwater that would be our future.

So the Dems did nothing that the Repubs have not already done, but to fake some outrage is just ignorant. But then, ignorance sells the American people on the bullsh*t that politicians are pushing. The American voter suffers from LBS, Lazy Brain syndrome. Read a book and call me in the morning.

A Spoiled 6 Year Old

bush's boy for the AG job is running into some trouble with his confirmation. Dems are not really pleased with his answers on some things, like is waterboarding torture? looks like he may have a helluva time being confirmed.

Well, Bush has said that if he is not confirmed that there will be NO AG for the rest of his term in office. kinda sounds like the old, "it is my way or I will take my ball and go home". Pouty little sh*t ain't he? I have had enough of this arrogant little turd--IMPEACH his ass!

Are We Hated?

Oh yeah, we be hated hard.
