The Presidential race card game

Remember the last Presidential race, where the Repugnican'ts had 10 candidates all frothing at the mouth to channel Ronald Reagan? It felt like a quiz show...including holding up hands to show you don't believe in global warming, evolution or gravity. First to go in the elimination round...Alan Keyes...crazy comes in all colors! After all the other dogs kept biting each other's tails, McCain, like the grizzled old hound, came up to the front. I seem to remember the other re-pugs didn't like him, even the fright wing 'pundints' had dismissed him until the poll numbers went up. I was also thoroughly disgusted when practically from the day Obama won the election, Pale One was being asked if she was going to run in 2012! Show some real frigging respect and just a tiny smidgen of real patriotism and pride in America. Not that jingoistic, flag-waving, bumper sticker, fake, 'america first' crap. A man won the election with 63.4 million votes! NEVER FORGET THAT! We voted for the dream, for health care reform, for hope, for a better America. Now we give up and let the thugs and punks ruin the party and distract us from the fact that a lot has been accomplished in the last 2 years DESPITE all the monkey crap flinging.   Why do we put all our focus on the braindead self centered teatards/Palin/Fox? You would not let punks ruin a wedding party. The GOP dragged out anyone who even tried to ask a question at their convention that they hadn't pre approved. I watched them wrestle women out of the convention hall BEFORE they got a chance to hold up a protesting sign. But people holding up ObamaNazi signs is not only OK, but freedom of speech.
WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER AND SAY 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' If we can't plug up the flow of diarrhea fed into the discourse by the fright wing, then we need to find a way to redirect it to their own cages or minimalize them.

The dark side of the pack.

We are pack animals; tribal. We pick sides easily because it's in our genes- a survival trait from thousand of years of evolution. BUT it doesn't serve us when we are not in a do-or-die situation and we can't discern, or separate individuals from the pack. It's laziness. If you throw someone in a box, you already have the labels on the outside and don't have to think about it, but you also don't get to learn about the individual. I had someone jump at me once, saying 'what the fuck do you know about prejudice, whitey?" But he didn't get to hear about how I was in fights when I was little for having dark skin and got called 'n**r' plenty of times, including by my own father. I had a young kid tell me that Italians were 'mud people'.... The fright wing media makes a living at separating us into packs so that their corporate overlords can keep us weak and un-focused. That's how they get away with all the looting and pillaging they

Worth and worthless....

You ever think about how the GOP tells us that they want to give us 'opportunity', that we can all be rich too?...then tell us that when disaster happens, don't help each other...get your guns? We're sold the idea of money determining or being a measure of our worth, our value, then we see people like Beck, Lush Rimjob, Hannity, making MILLIONS peddling hate, delusion, sedition, and mental illness. One of the richest men in the world made his money off of hard working immigrants trying to send money home to help their families (Mexico). How is that any different than glorifying Bernie Madoff, or a druglord? I think some of the wealthiest people in the world ran toward the victims of the Boston explosions; volunteer for the Red Cross; help people get back on their feet after a hurricane...WITHOUT getting paid to do so. Example- people I knew in California who drove TO New York (9/11) and New Orleans to help after those disasters, on their own dime, while Haliburton an

Too many want to run to the economic past that doesn't exist

Some say that we must get tougher in the world market, because other countries subsidize their industries. They say that we need a level playing field, or that consumers need to 'buy American'. I think it's all a diversion. Why invoke the past when the 'playing field' is more like a constantly shifting ocean? We also subsidize our businesses.  We give them all sorts of tax breaks and allow them to shelter their incomes in foreign repositories. Why vilify your fellow citizens who had nothing to do with these upper level policies and idiocy? Examples; Steel We gave our steel industry away, and it had NOTHING to do with consumers. The dinosaur steel industry whined to their political hacks through their lobbyists to get subsidies and suppots to stay alive and squeeze out a few more dollars out of the old machinery, when in reality they should have died out. There were innovators who wanted to develop leaner, more modern steel factories but could not
