Yes Republicans, America DOES Need MORE JOBS

Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS flexes its muscle of HYPOCRACY yet again.....



Lemme see if I got this straight.....

FIRST they want us to hold President Obama accountable FOR DOING SOMETHING WHICH THE REPUBLICANS HAD A HAND IN

THEN they call out the President for not having a jobs plan

THEN their buddies in the Republican Party SLAM the plan the President lays out WITHOUT EVEN TAKING A VOTE

AND THEN those very same buddies BLACKMAIL the President & the Democrats into passing a bill which contains provisions for their precious pipeline (AKA PORK BARREL) project that's supposed to address the issue

I dunno 'bout you but to me, this has ALL the classic earmarkings of the Republicants not only being against the creation of new jobs but also trying to CONTROL THE TYPES OF JOBS AMERICANS WILL BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN as well

Republicants, PLEASE feel free to "Correct" me on any of this as I wanna make sure I understood it correctly & am not leaving any stones unturned :)

Ohh well.....These HOPELESSLY CLUELESS BRAINLESS MORONS will quickly find out that America doesn't like to be CONTROLLED & WILL NOT STAND for being treated like A JAILHOUSE CHAIN GANG WORK RELEASE CREW for their pet PORK BARREL projects. That's because we'll have a THROW OUT THE BUMS election in 2012 which will make the 1994 one seem like a distant memory as this generation of Republicants WILL FIND THEMSELVES ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE RIGHT ALONGSIDE SCOTT WALKER & NEWT GINGRICH (The latter of whom President Obama will gladly politically behead)

Content Theft REVISTED

Apparently SOMEONE still thinks we still live in the era of the original Napster.....



Isn't there ALREADY a law in the books covering this? I think so.....

Obviously SOMEONE forgot about the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998

This is just ANOTHER attempt by FOR PROFIT organizations (Like the Motion Picture Association Of America perhaps?) to keep Congress busy doing things other than what they SHOULD be doing - WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE !!!!!

The Republicant Presidential Candidate Field - SLAPSTICK COMEDY STYLE

I used this as part of my signature on a non-political message board just to see what sort of reaction it would get :)

Suffice to say, it got the attention of the admin, who kindly asked me to remove it (Which I did) because it was deemed to be too "Politically Charged". So I figured I'd try it out on you guys to see what you guys think. Feel free to improve, tweak, overhaul, etc. the list on your own blog as you see fit :)

With that, here's the list as I have it.....

NEWT GINGRICH & RON PAUL - Laurel & Hardy (Respectively)
MITT ROMNEY, RICK PERRY & HERMAN CAIN - The Three Stooges (Mitt is Mo, Rick is Larry & Herman is Curly)
RICK SANTORUM & MICHELLE BACHMANN - Abbott & Costello (Think of Michelle as one of Lou's MANY girlfriends or wives :) )

That's the list as I have it. As I said, feel free to tweak it

The Right Wing Cloak & Dagger Game

Just saw The Ed Show tonight (Hosted by Thomas Roberts in Ed's abscence) & they had this schmuck named Brian Browne from the National Organization Of Marriage on as a guest

What happened to deserve a rewrite you ask? Simple

The Schmuck from the NOM was asked what he thought about the NY State Senate passing the same-sex marriage bill & he said the vote was taken under "A cloak of darkness" which he said was typical of Left Wing tactics

I'm wondering which cable news channel he was watching on Friday Night (ASSUMING he was even watching one that is!)

I ask this because CNN & MSNBC were both providing coverage of the vote via the live feed from the NY State Senate's own public access channel. HOW IS THAT CONDUCTING A VOTE UNDER A CLOAK OF DARKNESS, Mr. Browne??

In case you lost soul Right Wingers are wondering, I did check Fox News but they weren't even providing ANY coverage at all. In fact, they were covering (Of all things!) THE CASEY ANTHONY TRIAL !!!!!

So am I to understand that unless FOX NEWS provides live coverage of a major vote like the one in the NY State Senate on Friday Night, it either somehow "Didn't happen" or was somehow conducted "Under a cloak of darkness" ????? Help me understand this thought process

This is of course so typical of Right Wing Rhetoric these days & should be expected. It's just like when the Washington Republicans accuse the Washington Democrats & the Obama Administration of somehow making "Closed Door" or "Back Door" deals. Yet C-SPAN is careful enough to show EACH & EVERY vote session.

If I can see those vote sessions on C-SPAN & other places that provide it on TV (And there are websites which track the votes taken by our Representatives in BOTH houses on a variety of issues), then HOW is it that the Right Wing always seems to miss them ????? If someone out there has a clue, SHOOT ME AN EMAIL as this has always perplexed & bamboozled me

MEMO TO PRESIDENT OBAMA - The Terrorists ARE NO LONGER IN AFGHANISTAN

As I write this, I am among the offline world but I just saw the President's speech on the war in Afghanistan. Apparently, he needs to be reminded of a few things.....

1) Is the title of this blog entry itself
2) The terrorists are in such places as Yemen, parts of Pakistan & THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
3) ALL the terrorists either captured or killed before the assassination of Osama Bin Laden have all been in (Say it again Sam!) THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
4) OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD (You said so yourself Chief!! Or was that a lie to inflate your poll numbers higher than they really are, Mr. President?)

All of which begs the following question.....

WHY IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DEDICATED ON A LONG TERM DRAWDOWN INSTEAD OF AN IMMEDIATE ONE LIKE VIETNAM WAS IN 1975 ?????

He also needs to be reminded of the following things.....

1) The Christmas Day Bomber came from Yemen - NOT AFGHANISTAN
2) The Subway Bomber also did came from SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN AFGHANISTAN
3) Pakistan has been HARBORING Osama Bin Laden DESPITE THEIR CLAIMS OTHERWISE (In fact, he also had an address from MY OWN BACKYARD geographically speaking of course!)

WHY doesn't the President understand this? WHAT doesn't he understand about this? I don't get it. If you do, feel free to SHOOT ME AN EMAIL & clue me in

FOLLOW UP - Why Americans SHOULD NOT Take The Law Into Their Own Hands

Here's the video of Ed Schultz's comment to the video posted below



BUT THE PLOT THICKENS !!!!!

Glenn Beck responded on his radio show (As you can see here since I the owners of the site won't let Political Pedophiles like me to embed it >:( *Grrrr!* ) by saying that he was REALLY pointing to a chalkboard EXCEPT the camera angle makes it look as though he's pointing at a monitor with President Obama's picture on it.

With that, I present the following still photo.....

Where IN THIS PHOTO is the "Chalkboard" you're referring to Glenn?

Blame the cameraman !!! REALLY SMART Glenn.

N O T !!!!!

Who or what are ya gonna blame for your next flub?

I stand by the rest of my comments in my earlier post

Attack On LaborThe Big 10 Conference Connection

You've all seen & heard the news coming out of Ohio & Wisconsin, haven't you? Well here's what I think is behind it.....

NCAA Football

Yep! You heard me correctly. I said NCAA Football

Now HOW did I reach this "Radical" theory you ask? Simple.

It all started in Wisconsin (Home of the Wisconsin Badgers) as Governor Scott Walker (Eventually) RAMMED his UNION BUSTING JOB KILLING bill through state government. While Badger Country was in a state of political chaos, Ohio Governor (And former Fox News Host) John Kasich figured HE could "Slide" HIS union busting job killing bill through Ohio's legislature. Well he managed to do it (Mainly because the Progressive Democrats didn't have a snowball's chance in hell) but his bill goes too far as HE WENT AFTER POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS, EMS WORKERS & OTHER ESSENTIAL FIRST RESPONSE PERSONNEL in addition to teachers & other non-essential state employees.

As someone who has been in the WRONG end of MORE AMBULANCES THAN I CARE TO COUNT & spent more hours in MORE TRIPS TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM THAN I CARE TO COUNT (Including ONE WHICH SAVED MY LIFE I might add!), I was PISSED OFF!!

Now I feel fortunate I live here in Colorado (Which is primarily controlled by Democrats) & not in Ohio or Wisconsin, but still.....

Anyway, now Michigan Governor David Snyder is on the act & wants a piece of the action. That got me to noticing a pattern & wondering what sort of tricks the Republicans were up to in attempting to create YET ANOTHER belt for themselves & their rich friends.

Well I didn't have to go very far to look. In fact, I didn't need to look any further than Wikipedia (You know, the OTHER Wiki-based site that DOES NOT turn national secrets into dirty laundry). What I found was STAGGERINGLY MINDBLOWING.

Take a look.....

LIST OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS IN THE NEW BIG 10 CONFERENCE STATES

IOWA Terry Branstad
(Iowa Hawkeyes)

INDIANA Mitch Daniels (2005)
(Indiana Hoosiers, Purdue Boilermakers)

MICHIGAN David Snyder
(Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans)

NEBRASKA Dave Heineman (2005)
(Nebraska Cornhuskers)

OHIO John Kasich
(Ohio State Buckeyes)

PENNSYLVANIA Tom Corbett
(Penn State Nittany Lions)

WISCONSIN Scott Walker
(Wisconsin Badgers)


LIST OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS IN THE NEW BIG 10 CONFERENCE STATES

ILLINOIS Pat Quinn
(Illinois Fighting Illini, Northwestern Wildcats)

MINNESOTA Mark Dayton
(Minnesota Golden Gophers)

STATE LEGISLATURES IN THE NEW BIG 10 CONFERENCE

HOUSE

ILLINOIS (Democrat) - 64-54
INDIANA (Republican) - 60-40
IOWA (Republican) - 60-40
MICHIGAN (Republican) - 63-47
MINNESOTA (Republican) - 72-62
NEBRASKA (NONPARTISAN)
OHIO (Republican) - 59-40
PENNSYLVANIA (Republican) - 112-91
WISCONSIN (Republican) - 60-38 (1 Independent)

SENATE

ILLINOIS (Democrat) - 35-24
INDIANA (Republican) - 37-13
IOWA (Democrat) - 26-24
MICHIGAN (Republican) - 26-12
MINNESOTA (Republican) - 37-30
NEBRASKA (NONPARTISAN)
OHIO (Republican) - 23-10
PENNSYLVANIA (Republican) - 30-20
WISCONSIN (Republican) - 19-14

TOTALS

GOVERNORSHIPS (Republican) 8-1
HOUSE (Republican) 540-412-1 with 7 of 9 states (1 Nonpartisan)
SENATE (Republican) 220-160 with 7 of 9 states (1 Nonpartisan)

CONCUSIONS

* 8 Of 9 New Big 10 Conference States Have Republican Governors. Of those, only TWO are incumbents (Indiana's Mitch Daniels & Nebraska's Dave Heineman). Nebraska is the newest member of the new Big 10 (Or the LONE remaining member of the OLD Big 12, depending on how you look at it

* Republicans control 7 of 9 states in BOTH the House & Senate with Illinois & Iowa being the lone Democratic strongholds (Iowa in the Senate ONLY) in the new Big 10 Conference & Nebraska being a Nonpartisan state in the legislative branch. Because of this, Nebraska was only counted in the state total but NOT counted in the seat total

Toss out Nebraska (Since they are the newest member to the conference & have a Nonpartisan State Legislature & Senate) & the Republicans STILL hold 6 of 8 states in the old Big 10 Conference with Illinois & Iowa being the lone Democrat strongholds

If THAT creating a new "Bible Belt", I dunno what is then.....

Time For The World To HATE Hate Speech

If you watched the latest episode of my show on Mevio & StickAM (Such as it admittedly was :) *Embarrassed Look* *LOL!*) last week, you saw me bring up the subject of HATE SPEECH.

Well I believe it bears repeating here.

Hate speech is (To quote former President George H.W. Bush when he introduced his Drug Czar to America) A SCOURGE which MUST be stamped out. Those who persist in engaging in it must also be stamped out as well.

How do we stamp out Hate Speech & those who persist in engaging it you ask? Simple.

DO NOT GIVE IT & THOSE WHO PERSIST IN ENGAGING IN IT THE TIME OF DAY. Just ignore it. Ignore those who persist in engaging in it too.

By doing this, you don't perpetuate it in your response. Not only that, but you deprive THE ONE THING those who persist in engaging in Hate Speech NEED in order to continue doing it - AN AUDIENCE.

As long as you respond to Hate Speech, you give those who persist in engaging in it an audience. By depriving them of an audience, you deprive them of the incentive to engage in it. Once they lose the incentive, they'll eventually move on to more constructive things.

It's not rocket science folks. IT IS COMMON SENSE.

That said, let me close with a discalimer - While I'm favor of FREE SPEECH, that belief DOES NOT extend to HATE SPEECH. There IS a difference between the two.
