Insanity or Stupidity?

Americans will shortly go to the voting booth with the intention of voting in the best people to run America. Most will enter the voting booth with the sentiment of “throw those bums out”. Yet, with a very few exceptions the same politicians are voted back into office. Seems Americans are upset at all politicians with the exception of their own. The politicians will capitalize on the stupidity of the common voter, by betting they will have no issue with believing the same old rhetoric and lies. They have mastered the art of both fear and lying. As human beings we have the natural tendency to fear change despite whatever our situations are. This fear is shown thru the voting process, by the same politicians that have clearly shown they cannot do their jobs getting re-elected time and time again.

In order to conquer our fears, we need to face reality. We have become a society that does not have time, is too lazy, or is disinterested in learning about the candidates we support and the issues at hand. We have been conditioned to vote by party and not by class. We have become a nation that votes by emotions based on absolute bullshit, rather than facts. We have allowed ourselves to chose our politicians by 30 second sound bites, and untrue political ads. We are a society where we expect change without having to do anything, instead of taking time to understand the issues. Americans at every election seems to vote for the familiar name on the ballot, while all they really know about that candidate is what their name is and if they are Republican or Democrat.

We ignore the fact that we deserve the dysfunctional and corrupt politicians we have, because we allow ourselves the liberty of not being educated as to whom we are voting for while allowing our political figures to get away with lying about the same issues over and over again. They have long sold their integrity to the highest bidder while ignoring the common man that voted him or her into office. Big money seems to be the core of the problem, along with the obsession of control and power. It is our duty as Americans to focus on not other politicians but those that represent us and to vote out those that abuse their office by political game playing that prevents America from moving forward and making this a better country for all.

Stupid, selfish people elect stupid, selfish leaders. The fact that we continue to vote the same old problems back in office over and over again, says way more about us, then it does about them. As we continue to have brain freeze in the voting booth the same old people that have created the problems we live with today are voted back in office. While they spend endless hours everyday trying to keep their political power and showing their loyalty to greed and control, we Americans are continuing to be pushed inside a hole that we will never emerge from. We are a nation that asks the rich how they feel about the rich paying their fair share of taxes. We ask the rich how the middle class, the poor and the elderly feel, while refusing to give the common man a platform to speak for him or herself. We ask CEO’s if it is okay for them to make 400% more than the worker they pay, while not asking that same worker how he really feels. We have a circus called the media, that helps in keeping bad politicians in office, by quick untrue sound bites, and the greed of money.

It is said that politicians make strange bedfellows, and Washington along with local state politicians has shown us for decades just how they sleep around with special interest groups, wealthy individuals and big business to get the money they need to score in the next election. Politics has become the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other. We have politicians that will lay down your life for his or her political agenda. We have become a
society where we jail petty thieves, and appoint the biggest thieves into office time and time again, while expecting a different result. In order to keep their political power we watch them become indistinguishable from prostitutes. They sell Americans that they are smart enough to understand the game and we are dumb enough not to and time and time again we believe them from fear, by voting them back in office.

We need to not forget that when we enter the voting booth, and are mad at all politicians, that means our own. We don’t have the opportunity to vote out other politicians from other states, but we have the power to control our own. Americans need to grasp on to the fact that knowledge is power. We need to insist that on the ballots the incumbents are highlighted in red, and that there is no longer a box that allows block voting by party. This lazy way of voting continues to help in keeping this country in turmoil. We have allowed our voting process to become as easy as ordering a happy meal thru the drive up window. This is not what the founding fathers intended for this country despite the politicians would disagree. We have entered an age where we need to take the keys away from the politicians that have helped in getting us in this mess, and change the locks to the doors. We do this by our vote in the voting booth, while remembering not to worry about what other politicians from other states have done, but by educating ourselves on who our own politicians are, what they stand for, and what special interest has bought his loyalty. The reality that we continue as Americans to complain about how our lives are, while voting in the same politician with the same views bought by the same money, doesn’t work to change our situation. We’re taught from the time we are small how to blame, and as adults we have not broken this habit. Not only have we not broken this habit, but we have taught it to our kids. The Republicans blame the Democratics, the Democratics blame the Republicans and the Tea Baggers, and the new Tea Bagger movement blames everyone. We feel our politicians need to wake up, when in fact it is the common man that votes that needs to wake up, or we need to continue to be sheep that follow the wolves, while ignoring their agenda is to kill us. Is this a form of insanity or stupidity?

How Thirsty Are You?

Today in America we have been introduced to a grassroots movement that calls themselves the “Tea Party”. A movement that because of their outrageous behavior have been treated as if they speak for all of America, when in fact they are only approximately 16% of our population, the same amount that thinks the world is flat.

They are a movement that has the lack of intelligence to understand what they claim to believe in. This is shown as to whom controls the Tea Party movement. They claim to be tired of the system, hate government and the special interests that buy them, yet are run by a fanatical Senator Jim DeMint, a lobbyist Dick Armey and funded by Corporate pigs as the Koch brothers. They believe Fox News is “fair and balanced”. They blindly use words as “socialism” and “communism” without knowing what they mean. They speak of the “Constitution” yet have never took time to read it, and they state what our “founding fathers” wanted knowing nothing about their stances, or who they were.

The majority of the Tea Party movement is nothing short of racists and fascists, who have created hate, violence and havoc to promote their disgusting views. This grassroots movement has been the fuel that the right wing pundits and Republicans have been long looking for. Someone to push their agenda, while not understanding they are slashing their own throats. Someone to push their self-interested radical agendas that will not serve those that serve them. They claim they are nothing short of your “average Joe 6-pack” that is here to take this country back. They care so much about this country they demonize the middle class, the poor and the elderly, while ignoring the fact they are part of these classes. They complain about helping others, they don’t want to pay for the poor. They preach about the government staying out of their lives, yet want the government to step in over abortion and gay rights. They believe in giving the wealthy and business more tax breaks, while not facing the fact the middle class, the poor and the elderly in America will make up what they don’t contribute. They complain about the wages they make, hate unions, and feel the same people that is paying them the wages they are unhappy about, deserve more and more breaks. They speak about the cost of healthcare, yet they want to continue with the “status quo”. They complain the Democrats are attempting to “redistribute the wealth”, while being ignorant that the “distribution of wealth” has been going on for decades, and it has been from the middle class, the poor and the elderly right into the riches bank accounts. They pack an attitude of “us” versus “them”.

The Tea Party movement would not be complete, if they did not claim to love “God”, while hating God’s people. The Teabaggers with the help of the Republican party and the Religious Right prey on the fears of people with appeals they do what they do because “God” wants them to. They feel the hate and violence they spew into society is warranted, and must be done in the name of “God”. One wonders if “God” really approved of torture and un-constitutional wiretapping of innocent Americans. Maybe he also approved of hating the poor and those less fortunate, while standing up for greed, or killing innocent people so a few can become very wealthy. For most of us in America the “God” we worship, feels different than the “God” the Republican party, the Religious Right and the Tea Party movement worships.

Nothing about the Tea Party movement is good for America, or makes any sense. While they rage over Obama’s alleged lies, they totally ignore the Bush administration’s deceptive justification to attack Iraq, and the belief that the deficit didn’t matter. They are ignorant to the fact that both the Great Depression and the current recession occurred under Republican rule. They ignore the fact that 2 times only in history the deficit was a surplus both times under Democratic rule. They are ignorant to the fact that history shows no basis where there has ever been a “fiscally responsible conversative".  They claim they are the "True Americans", while everyone who disagrees with them are not.  In 2012 all Americans, need to ask themselves, "How Thristy Am I"?

Why is the mentally ill running our government, and who is helping them get away with it?

In January when Gabby Giffords was shot in Tucson, the conversation turned to the mentally ill of America. Americans were confronted once again about the issue of who in America is mentally ill, and how do we tell.

While America was attempting to determine who is considered mentally ill in our society, we needed to look no further than the politicians in both Washington and within the State governments. We needed to look no further than the wealthy in America, that controls the minds of these politicians, thru their greed and love of money and power. And, we needed to look no further than the bought off clueless media.

Americans have adapted to the daily lies from both the Democrats and the Republicans while totally ignoring the true facts, and as a reward for their lies and underhanded antics they are re-elected back in office. Americans vote by believing all politicians are no good, with the exception of their own. This is a fact that no one can deny and the number of years the majority of politicians have served in office proves this point. The Constitution has been thrown at us more in the last 2 years than ever in history. Michelle Bachman has stated how concerned she is on who in America is a “true American”, maybe she should take a poll, and see how many Americans can tell you what the “Constitution” says, or who the founding fathers were and what they stood for. The majority of Americans have no idea what the Constitution says, who the founding fathers were much less what they stood for. But, I am sure they would still consider themselves “true Americans”. On the downside of this, it allows Americans to pretend they know what the Constitution says by believing what these politicians tell them it says. The founding fathers that the Tea Party uses like a weapon, never intended for a political office to be a lifelong career or religion to have a part in politics. They were aware how bad this would be for our country. The Tea Party claims they are the new party ready to take America back, yet they seem to be more confused than anyone.

Politicians, the wealthy, and the media have long sold their souls to the devil, for the reward of money and power. In order for them to accomplish this, they had to put out the wolves disguised as lambs. These wolves have been able to convince the common man to give up the little they have for the good of the wealthy. They have convinced us that they know best how we should think, act and live our lives. They have bet among themselves that most of America is so un-knowledgable and clueless about what they are speaking of….the deficit, the debt ceiling, defense spending and healthcare to name a few, that they have the upper hand. If that is true, than that leaves the rest of America with the losing hand.

Americans feel that politicians cannot be trusted, yet we continue to elect these same people in office, because we are told they will look out for our best interest, fully knowing this is a lie. We have been brainwashed and have slowly adapted ourselves to believing a certain party stands for a certain thing, and the other does not. We have become the country of “hate”, while claiming we are “Christian”. The wealthy, the polticians and the media have been hard at work in convincing us to embrace a non-tolerant attitude toward others, to hate those that won’t believe as you do, and to put enough fear in our souls that we will allow the wealthy to destroy all of us. We ignore the hypocrisy that is so blatant. Governor Christie of New Jersey made the statement to a voter, that it was none of her business why he sends his kids to a private school. He stated that it was a family personal decision, that was none of her business. So why would Governor Christy feel it is okay to tell a women if she has the right to have an abortion of not? Is this not a much harder PERSONAL decision for a woman and her family to make than where you send your kids to school? The amount of hypocrisy daily coming out of our government officials, ourselves, our friends, family and neighbors have become an epidemic in America.  We complain about the low wages we are paid, yet support a party that feels the minimum wage is too high, and hates Unions that keep the wages up. We complain about healthcare costs, yet vote against healthcare reform. We complain about big government and social programs, yet the majority of Americans use the programs and like them. We show hate toward workers that are unionized, jealous of the wages and benefits they have, when the fact is we should ask the question why am I not getting paid those wages and benefits, and help form unions that gives the workers a fair chance against greedy employers. We complain about taxes, yet vote with a party that ONLY wants to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Americans need to help themselves, learn who the party is you support and what they stand for. Be honest and acknowledge who you are in society and quit voting believing the lie you too one day will be part of the wealthy. Won’t happen, never will. The rich has long fixed it so a very few can belong to their club, and that is not you. We the people of America have condoned, allowed and continue to help in allowing the mentally ill to run our country by continuing to vote them back in office over and over again. Who in America is more mentally ill?  The politicians that screw you and continue to get your vote; The media that spews 24/7 lies and you believe them; The corporate pigs that have convinced our justice system to treat them as a person so they can screw Americans a little harder; or…yourselves that continue to vote the same old politicians back in office, believe the same old distorted facts from the media and stand up for the wealthy that spits on the middle class, the poor and the elderly, believing this time will be different?
　
　
　
　

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS

Where are the jobs? The jobs that were to be created by the extension of the Bush tax cuts for the rich, less regulations and the attempt to take all workers rights away. The love of greed has taken the jobs overseas and increased the profits of these greedy capitalist pigs with a lust never seen in American history, with the worst yet to come. The smell of money laced in inexpensive labor is so strong it smells like honey to them, while to the U.S. worker the smell is like a dead body rotting. The American worker has been rotting since the 70’s when their wages became stagnate only going up SIX CENTS an hour in the last 38 years. To add more injury to the insult the politicians we have elected in office have helped these companies by continuing their subsidizes and tax breaks while they outsource American jobs in order to make obscene profits by cheap labor. The fact that the only way outsourcing jobs can by successful is if those same jobs are replaced with better jobs have been conveniently ignored. The astounding amount of money poured into politicians re-elections to see outsourcing the way they do, should be disturbing to Americans. Their disregard for the American economy and the American worker will keep driving up unemployment rates with no end in sight.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has helped in the destruction of the American economy by encouraging businesses to outsource jobs, and not hire in the U.S. If they can get Obama out of the White House, then they can get the rest of what their agenda is pushed thru without creating any jobs or jobs only paying low wages with no benefits. We need not to forget how Republicans feel about unemployment benefits, as they are helping to keep the jobs out of the U.S. They have a history of voting against any laws that give a fair chance to the worker. They hate Unions, benefits for the worker and feel the minimum wage is to high of a burden on their greedy corporate friends. When the statement is made that Americans on unemployment are lazy and won’t work, it should show us, how out of touch these politicians are with the common man. History has shown that when Democrats have been in power the wealthy become crazy. They are fearful of their wealth being taken away, they cry redistribution of wealth. As they are in their self-induced fog redistribution of wealth is indeed happening, but not how they claim. We have seen in the last 40 years a redistribution of wealth like never seen before. The rich taking from the poor. They hate the poor, they claim we are the problem with America, we deserve nothing, and they are owed everything. The rich that claim they are “Christian” has forgotten that Jesus loved the poor.

The obscene profits have become even more profitable over the years as a result of an American law that allows these capitalist pigs to “defer” the payment of taxes on money made outside of the U.S. The agreement made with the help of our purchased scummy politicians allows these capitalist pigs to be taxed at a rate of 5% (not 35%) when they bring their money into the U.S., and has allowed these corporations to “shelter” their money in overseas accounts, at the expense of every American. In the U.S. we hear all the time how great “capitalism” is, even though if you rationally look at the picture, you will see that the reason we are where we are today is because of this same “capitalism” attitude. As long as any corporations are getting tax breaks and subsidizes from the American taxpayer, then they are not “capitalist”. They are no better than the welfare Americans the Republicans scream about, that need to pay their own bills, and be responsible for their own actions. This should apply also to corporate America. They need to be forced to live by what “capitalism” really means. NO HANDOUTS of any kind, sink or swim.

Americans being held hostage by these corporate pigs while they cry poverty need to be taught that the cart does not go before horse. They all have either a product or service they offer, and those that wish to take American jobs overseas need to sell their products or services to the people that are benefiting from the loss of American jobs, because the American Worker’s store has closed. We also need to stop purchasing foreign goods as much as we can. It is becoming more obvious that most all of our elected officials are not interested in helping the common man, they are in it for self political gain bought thru legal bribery so it is time for the common man, to look out for himself and make their point directly to these capitalist pigs. The Republicans use the wording “self-regulate” when it comes to corporations. Americans need to “self-regulate” themselves and boycotting is a wonderful tool for the common man to use in controlling the abuse of capitalist pigs and their political friends. The fact is that “capitalism” really doesn’t exist in America, but “corporate welfare” does.
　
　

The Phony Pantyhose Populist

In 2008 John McCain introduced America to one of the largest jokes in American history….Sarah Palin. She claimed she was not part of the so-called establishment, and she was here to stand up for the little guy out of the goodness of her Christian heart, you know “Joe 6-pack”, while belonging to the party of the rich and big business. A party that has shown thru proven history they could care less about the “Average Joe” in America. Obviously this simple fact has been overlooked by Sarah Palin. She represented herself as being one of the only “true Americans” left in this country. This true American didn’t bother stating that her and her husband were part of a separatist movement who wanted to secede from the US. An American not wanting to be part of America….how does that work?

When Sarah Palin found her way down to the lower 48 states, she brought with her a phoniness and a form of conscious lies like we have not seen before, shadowing them under "God".  She showed she could NOT tell the truth about her own life, never mind about issues of public importance. It literally was thrown in Americans faces how uninformed she was on any issues. She claimed to be a “feminist” looking out for those working mom’s, while supporting to take those same women’s rights away as with the abortion issue. She claimed to look out for the working person while supporting taking workers rights away. She spewed lies and intended fear into our seniors, by using the cute saying “death panels”. She supports giving more tax breaks to the rich and corporate pigs, while supporting to slash Medicare. She supports guns in schools, restaurants, churches, shopping malls, and anywhere else you can think of. She hates PETA, and will be left with a legacy of killing the first moose for political gain in American history.

She has shown bizarre behavior taking political narcissism to new highs. She flaunts her racist, power-driven, self-righteous attitude while being hateful and vindictive towards those that don’t see things as she does. It is sad to see America spoken so ill of in the name of God, while people fall over themselves to worship this “true American”. Mostly, however Sarah Palin is a symbol of how little substance is left in politics and religion. She is addicted to creating hate among people, while living by shallow slogans, using sound bites as tools and totally ignoring reality in any form. There is indeed something mesmerizing about Sarah Palin, with her mentally ill manic clueless behavior. Her knowledge on any issues make George W. Bush look like Einstein. The other scary part to this story are the followers of Sarah Palin. The women that call themselves “Mommy Grizzlies”, the men that call themselves “Fuckin Rednecks” and “Christians”. These uninformed and ignorant followers need to move past the cute winking and phony accent and use the brains God gave them to see and hear who she is and what she really represents. It is easy sometimes when we act as imbeciles to not know when one is among us. Conservatives thru proven history have a record of voting imbeciles in office as with George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, two of the most destructive presidents in American history. Sarah has the chance to change that stat and make it 3, but the cost to America will be more than anyone can image.

This “true American”, has shown us how she really feels about America, by making a mockery out of our country with this phony campaign ploy. As the majority of Americans takes what is happening in our country serious Sarah Palin is not, and she is laughing all the way to the bank, when she should be showing how great an American she is, by helping in the flood and tornado areas, helping feed the poor, working on environmental issues or anything that had some substance. Sarah Palins substance seems to be made up of being a full time attention whore and worshiping the almighty dollar.

Palin offers nothing more to our society than low budget comedy entertainment, in a time when no one is laughing. She is a typical politician and we must educate ourselves on who all these elected officials are and what they stand for. There is nothing that comes out of a politicians mouth that is truthful and without an underlaying agenda that benefits them and this also applies to the phony pantyhose populist known as Sarah Palin. Evil can only prevail when good people sit by and say or do nothing, don’t let that be you!
