How to Motivate a Conservative (This is how Rush Limbaugh and the Republican Propaganda Machine do it.)

Conservatives The Klu Klux Klan and Scott Garrett

New Jersey Republican Congressman Scott Garrett told the Express-Times of Lehigh Valley that he likes to do business in the (white) midwest because other "ethnicities" are not as sincere and straightforward.

What else does the GOP have in common with the Klu Klux Klan?

- anti immigration
- anti communist.

(kind of makes communism look like a good thing dont it?)

These guys dont wear hoods anymore. They were suits and vote Republican.

The Iceland Revolution Not Covered by Mainstream Corporate Media

The people of Iceland have overthrown the corrupt government that was connected to the bankers who bankrupted the country.

Our mainstream media is not covering this story. Could it be that the corporate media and their plutocratic backers do not want us to know? Could it be that they are afraid that this could happen in America?

Here is a link to the full article:

The Fed is Not the REAL Problem.

I am watching the Occupy Wallstreet footage from all over America and I'm seeing signs for "END THE FED."

WTF?

Right now, about the only thing keeping the economy afloat is the Fed.
The Fed is not the real problem.
The REAL problem is the deregulation that helped get us into this mess!!

Of course the bailouts suck, but without them the pillars of the economy would have collapsed. It would have set off a chain reaction that would have effected just about each and every one of us. Why should WE have to suffer because of a few idiots?

The problem is not only a lack of oversight from so called "Big Government" but that the corporate crooks got away with it unpunished!

"Too Big to Fail" is TOO BIG!
We need to reinforce the anti-trust acts and break these bloated monsters up!

Wanting to end the Fed is reckless and naive.

WE NEED TO REGULATE THE BASTARDS!!!

Boycott Bank of America

I first noticed a problem with Bank of America when I got one of their credit cards and noticed that their interest rate was extremely high. By the time I noticed it was too late and I got stuck paying little more than the interest rate charge each month.

Now B of A is in the news for unethical activities such as:

- mortgage security problems.
- unethical foreclosure practices.
- high debit card fees.
- violation of whistle blower laws.
- pledged support for Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry.
- and who knows what else is going on that hasnt been exposed yet.

Oh yeah, and their website is not user friendly.

Boycott Bank of America!!! :

America is No Longer Number 1

RepubliCons love to shout about how great America is.
They arrogantly proclaim that the U.S. is a "shining city on a hill."
They even have a word for it: its called AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.

Here is the price of Republican policies such as deregulation, corporate health care, free trade, anti environmentalism, and cutting of funding for public education.

The United States is 49th in the world in literacy.

The U.S. ranked 28th out of 40 countries in mathematical literacy.

U.S. ranks 37th in health care performance.

U.S. childhood poverty now ranks 22nd, or second to last, among the developed nations. Only Mexico scores lower.

Of the 20 most developed countries in the world, the U.S. was dead last in the growth rate of total compensation to its workforce, yet Americans work longer hours per year than any other industrialized country, and get less vacation time.

Sometime in the next 10 years Brazil will probably pass the U.S. as the world's largest agricultural producer. Brazil is now the world's largest exporter of chickens, orange juice, sugar, coffee, and tobacco. Last year, Brazil passed the U.S. as the world's largest beef producer. As a result, while we bear record trade deficits, Brazil boasts a $30 billion trade surplus.

As of last June, the U.S. imported more food than it exported.

U.S. is also
#30 in life expectancy.
#22 in lack of corruption
#27 in renewable energy
#33 in scientific literacy

Also thanks to Republican policies:

America is #1 in military spending
gross national debt.
country music stars.

Obama Does Have a Jobs Plan. Its Called the Republican Plan

RepubliCons say that Obama does not have a jobs plan and are blaming the low employment rate on him.

Answer: Yes he does. Its called the Republican plan. It involves tax cuts for the rich who are then supposed to use that money to create jobs.

Looks like the Republican plan does not work.

Actually the Republicans do have another plan. To sabatage recovery efforts and blame the result on Obama.

Marco Rubio Believes that the problem with America is Social Security

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) gave a speech in Washington in which he declared that Social Security and Medicare have made us lazy and "weakened us as a people."

However, according to a U.N. report, the United States "leads the world in labor productivity."

In other words: since social security and Medicare, Americans have actually increased their work load and productivity.

Rick Perry: Just Another Republican Wacko

Texas Governor Rick Perry claimed that the Recovery Act signed by President Obama had "failed," but accepted more stimulus money than any other state besides California, and used those funds to close 97% of Texas’ massive budget deficit. The Houston Chronicle reported that as of July 2010, federal stimulus funds actually created or saved 47,700 jobs in Texas.

Perry believes that public schools, clean air laws, civil rights, and Social Security are all unconstitutional, even though the Constitution says that it is the federal governments job to provide for the "general welfare" of the people.

Perry opposes the 17th Amendment, which empowers the American people to elect their own senators, instead of Washington insiders.

This guy is nuts.

Jesus was the Progressive Liberal of his Time!

[the following if from the blog http://enlightenedchristianity.blogspot.com/ reprinted with permission]

All too often it is the conservative right-wing that is the first to dominate the conversation on the nature of Judeo-Christianity and the interpretation of the meaning of the Christ's mission on Earth.

However, we know by what is recorded in the New Testament record itself, that if Jesus was what we would call today a Republican, he would do things like:
not help the sick and the poor (unless they paid him); he would not turn the other cheek when struck by an enemy; and he would be in league with the money-changers and the powerful elite.

Jesus did not do these things because he was the progressive of his time!

The Gospels tell us that Jesus was a caring and compassionate person who spoke out against those who's "hearts had been hardened." In this case, it could be said that the Savior was someone that would be labeled as a so-called "bleeding heart"—a term that is nowadays commonly ascribed to liberals.

Jesus taught that besides crimes like murder and theft, sin was also "slander" and bearing "false witness." Also, in Mark 7.22, Jesus said that among other things evil was "malice, deceit, arrogance and folly." How many times have we seen this type of behavior from characters in the right-wing conservative media? (Beck, Limbaugh, and Coulter come to mind.)

It is certainly unfortunate that so many Republicans would have such a callous outlook when it comes to humanity and the underprivileged. This uncompassionate and selfish behavior is related to what they refer to as "rugged individualism"—which is the type of behavior that Jesus actually spoke out against.

In the Book of Genesis, we read that it was God's intention for human-beings to be good stewards of the land and to take care of it. But how are the so-called "conservatives" taking care of it when they are disregarding the polluting and the damaging of the planet? The Republicans have been the advocates for money and big business over not only the welfare of the people, but the welfare of the environment—i.e. God's creation. How can a good Christian be complaisant with this?

The conservative right-wing have taken over the interpretation of the teachings of the Christ, while at the same time not only misinterpreting them, but in some cases, even disobeying these very same teachings as well. They have been able to do this by being active and zealous in their own interpretation of the Bible and of Christianity.


For more insights into Progressive Christianity check out Aerik Vondenburg's blog at
http://enlightenedchristianity.blogspot.com/

P.S. I especially recommend his blog article "The Return of the Robber Barons and the Rise of the Theocratic Plutocracy"

Regulation is Not the Problem

Now that tax cuts for the rich has been proven not to work the RepubliCons have changed their story to "there is too much regulation" and that's why the "job creators" are not creating jobs.

The answer to that is simple:

Regulation protects public safety and helps to keep our lakes, rivers, and drinking water from being polluted. It also protects the economy.

If you cant have a successful business because of regulation then you do not have a successful business!!

I bet you could reduce costs and have a successful business if we brought back slavery,

doesnt mean its right.

The REAL problem is that when the hard working middle class are screwed by supply side voodoo right wing economics, they cant stimulate the economy by SPENDING.

More Fun With Sarah Palin part 2

Oh Boy! Sarah Palin is back in the news again.
There is some chatter that she is still considering a run for president.

NOW I CAN MAKE FUN OF HER AGAIN!!!!!

Check out this picture. Do you think she even knows that the donkeys on her scarf are the symbol of the Democratic Party, or is she trying to be ironic?

Tea Party Downgrade

The TEA Party hate government so much that they want to destroy it.

Their plan is to sabotage government and then complain that "Big Government" does not work -which then paves the way for a corporate plutocratic takeover of our government.

The recent S&P downgrade of the U.S. economy can be directly attributed to the chaotic gridlock that was instigated by the TEA Party. In fact, there is video on Democraticunderground.com of Tea Partiers actually CHEERING the downgrade.

These are some serious evil and stupid wackos.

America is in some serious trouble. We've got to mobilize and vote these
knuckle-dragging rednecks out of office.

Tomorow is the Wisconsin recall. People of Wisconsin: Wake up! VOTE EM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Socialism Versus Fascism.

RepubliCons say: The Democrats are communists.

Answer: The Republicans are fascists.

When the government controls industry it is socialism.
But when industry controls the government, and its dictatorial leader does things lie and go to war for profit etc. etc. , this. . . is fascism.

Fascism is generally a right wing authoritarian movement. This is what the ignorant hoard of tea bagger wackos do not understand.

A) Socialism looks out for the welfare of the people when its leaders are elected through a democratic process. (communism is an extremist perversion of socialism)

B) In a corporate fascist plutocracy, the government looks out for the welfare of the wealthy elite -at the expense of the people.

If given a choice between A or B, unless you are a cold-hearted greedy evil bastard, you would choose choice A.

Republican String-puller: Grover Norquist

Grover Norquist is the president of Americans for Tax Reform and is a major force behind the Republican party.

It was his idea for Republicans to sign a no tax increase pledge.

It is this pledge that is holding up debt reform and threatening to plunge our country into economic catastrophe.

What kind of man is Norquist?

Norquist was born with a silver spoon in his mouth given to him by his wealthy family. He has no idea what it is like to work full time but still not have enough money to make ends meet.


He is a man who declared war against the American government when he said that "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

His organization was a central player in the Jack Abramoff scandal. He used his connections to launder nearly $1 million from Abramoff’s Indian tribe clients to conservative activist Ralph Reed. In return, Norquist’s organization, Americans for Tax Return, took a piece of the cut.

Norquist is the man who the non-partisan fact-check site Politfact has caught lying more than once.

Lie#1
"Every time we've cut the capital gains tax, the economy has grown. Whenever we raise the capital gains tax, it's been damaged."

Lie#2
"Withheld union dues fund half of Dem (Democratic) campaigns in Florida."

The sad fact is that the Republicans are not servants of the American people, but of Grover Norquist.

TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH WILL NOT FIX THE ECONOMY

If the government had taxed the rich fairly (even with the Reagan percentage rates), the government could have used that extra income to create jobs like putting the out of work construction workers to work building infrastructure.
(Also, the money that is spent to invest in our national or local infrastructure goes directly to private companies most of the time. )

Under President Reagan the top tax rate was 50%. The wealthy were only keeping 50% of their profits and income, yet the economy grew. TODAY the wealthy are keeping 65% of their profits and income, 15% more than under President Reagan, yet the economy is NOT growing.

This is because the supply side economic policies simply do not work.

OBAMA PUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK

Obama is pressing congressional leaders to consider a debt-reduction plan that would force Democrats to accept major changes to Social Security and Medicare in exchange for Republican support for fresh tax revenue.

EVEN THOUGH SWING VOTERS SUPPORT TAXING THE RICH AND PROTECTING MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY DEMOCRATS LIKE BARACK OBAMA ARE GIVING INTO THE REPUBLICANS.

THIS IS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE SPINELESS WIMPS.

Fuck you Obama. Im tired of defending you.

IF YOU WANT THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO GO DOWN YOU NEED TO STOP THE OUTSOURCING!

Republican strategy is to use the high unemployment rate to attack Obama.

What they are not telling their uneducated base is that the reason why the jobs numbers are still low is because companies are continuing to outsource their jobs overseas where they can underpay their employees (thanks to the Republicans).

Obama! Democrats! American people!
Here is the solution to this problem:

1) Protect our economy and jobs with tariffs and regulations. (like we used to)
2) NO TAX BREAKS FOR COMPANIES THAT OUTSOURCE. Small Tax breaks only for companies that keep our jobs at home.

Please call your representatives and tell em!

P.S. Obama gave the rich/Republicans their tax breaks. Guess what? . . .
Didnt work.

THE REPUBLICAN UTOPIAN PARADISE EXISTS: ITS CALLED SAIPAN

There is a place in the western pacific ocean where there is low taxes and low regulation. It is a place where there is no such things as unions, minimum wage, benefits, and human rights.

It is a place regarded as a model of American free market capitalism by such convicted criminals such as Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff.

Its called Saipan.

Saipan is the largest island in a chain of fifteen islands known as the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. It is the home of a $1 billion garment industry (Tommy Hilfiger USA, Gap, Calvin Klein and Liz Claiborne, etc.)

Thousands of garment workers live in shacks, and work up to 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and earn only $3.05 an hour or less, often without overtime pay.

In the last five years, contractors in Saipan have received more than 1,000 citations for violating U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

Yet, the clothes these workers sew carry labels that say “Made in the U.S.A.”

THIS IS WHAT THE LIBERTARIAN REPUBLICANS WANT TO BRING TO THE AMERICAN MAINLAND. THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO TURN OUR COUNTRY INTO.

NO WONDER THE KOCH BROTHERS DENY GLOBAL WARMING AND WANT LIMITED GOVERNMENT

Koch Industries, Inc. is an American private energy company that is involved in the manufacturing, refining and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, and other wood based paper products.

Koch Industries sponsors various right wing Libertarian Republican "free market" foundations and causes, listing Americans for Prosperity and Americans for Prosperity Foundation.

From 2005 to 2008, Koch industries spent $5.7 million on political campaigns and $37 million on direct lobbying to support fossil fuel industries. In 2007 Koch Industries became among the first oil firms that lobbied against a national standard for low carbon fuel standard in 2007.

Greenpeace says that between 1997 and 2008 Koch Industries donated nearly $48 million to groups which doubt or oppose the theory of anthropogenic global warming.

In March 1999, Koch Petroleum Group, a Koch Industries subsidiary, pled guilty to charges that it had negligently dumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of aviation fuel into wetlands near the Mississippi River from its refinery in Rosemount, Minnesota, and that it had also illegally dumped a million gallons of high-ammonia wastewater onto the ground and into the Mississippi River. Koch Petroleum paid the Dakota County Park System a $6 million fine and $2 million in remediation costs, and was ordered to serve three years of probation.

In 1999, a federal jury found that Koch Industries had stolen oil from government and American Indian lands, had lied about its purchases more than 24,000 times, and was fined $553,504.

In January 2000, a Koch Industries subsidiary, Koch Pipeline, agreed to a $35 million settlement with the U.S. Justice Department and the State of Texas. This settlement, including a $30 million civil fine, was incurred for the firm's three hundred oil spills in Texas and five other states going back to 1990. The spills resulted in more than three million gallons of crude oil leaking into ponds, lakes, streams and coastal waters.

In 2001, the company reached two settlements with the government. In April, the company reached a $20 million settlement in exchange for admitting to covering up environmental violations at its refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas. That May, Koch Industries paid $25 million to the federal government to settle a federal lawsuit that found the company had improperly taken more oil than it had paid for from federal and Indian land.

In June 2003, the US Commerce Department fined Koch Industries subsidiary Flint Hill Resources a $200,000 civil penalty. The fine settled charges that the company exported crude petroleum from the US to Canada without proper US government authorization. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security said from July 1997 to March 1999, Koch Petroleum (later called Flint Hill Resources) committed 40 violations of Export Administration Regulations.

In 2006, Koch Industries’ subsidiary Flint Hill Resources was fined nearly $16,000 by the EPA for 10 separate violations of the Clean Air Act at its Alaska oil refinery facilities, and required to spend another $60,000 on safety equipment needed to help prevent future violations.

In 2007, Koch Nitrogen's plant in Enid, Oklahoma, was listed as the third highest company releasing toxic chemicals in Oklahoma, according to the EPA, ranking behind Perma-Fix Environmental Services in Tulsa and Weyerhaeuser Co. in Valliant. The facility produces about 10% of the US national production of anhydrous ammonia, as well as urea and UAN.

In 2009, Koch subsidiary Invista agreed to pay a $1.7 million civil penalty and spend up to $500 million to correct self-reported environmental violations at its facilities in seven states.[51][52] Prior to the settlement, the company had disclosed to the EPA more than 680 violations after auditing 12 facilities acquired from DuPont in 2004

NO WONDER WHY THE KOCH BROTHERS DONT WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING AND NO WONDER WHY THEY WANT LIMITED GOVERNMENT. ITS THE DAMN GOVERNMENT THAT IS PREVENTING THEM FROM GETTING AWAY WITH THEIR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.

GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL

97 percent of climatologists who are active in climate research agree that global warming is real and that humans are playing a role.

Of course, Fox News and their ilk will only show the 3% that dont get it.

According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit around the world since 1880, much of this has occurred in recent decades.

NOW WHO IS MORE CREDIBLE?

NASA?

OR RUSH LIMBAUGH?

The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.

2,500 scientists in more than 130 countries, have concluded that humans have caused all or most of the current planetary warming.

OF COURSE THE REPUBLICANS AND THE EVIL GREEDY BASTARD CORPORATE PLUTOCRATS WHO CONTROL THEM WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX. THEY NEED TO KEEP THE FACTORIES RUNNING AND THE MONEY ROLLING IN.

CLIMATE CHANGE DENIARS ARE BRAINWASHED KOOKS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

SUICIDE RATES GO UP WHEN CONSERVATIVES ARE IN POWER

The hard-hearted anti humanitarian political and economic polices of the conservatives have repercussions.

Suicide rates in conservative leaning Republican red states are on average 17 percent higher than in liberal Democratic blue states.

This fits in with British and Australian studies that showed higher suicide rates under conservative governments.

REPUBLICANS ARE FUN TO LAUGH AT

AMERICA IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION. IT IS A NATION OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

American Judeo-Christians will sometimes cite the words “In God We Trust” that is printed on federal property to justify their position; however this Judeo-Christian maxim is not the original motto of the United States. In fact, it did not appear until almost a hundred years after the founding of the nation—although, even then, it was only used on coinage. It did not become a nationally recognized maxim until 1956. The original national motto that was chosen by the Founding Fathers was actually E Pluribus Unum (One out of Many). Moreover, it does not say “In God We Trust” in the U.S. Constitution, but rather, “We the People”—which is a reference to a democracy, not a theocracy.

Judeo-Christians cite many examples of the Founding Fathers referring to God and the principles of the Judeo-Christian faith; however, while it is true that for the most part, the Founding Fathers of America did respect religious liberty and tradition, they were also students of Greek philosophy and Enlightenment thinking.

What the Founding Fathers of America established was not specifically a Judeo-Christian nation, but rather, a free and independent country that respected religious liberty. It was an expression of the humanistic principle that all people should have the right to practice their religious belief—or not to at all—and not be persecuted one way or the other.

We work and work and work.

Many if not most of us live pay check to pay check.

There just never seems to be enough time and money to enjoy life?

Well. . .

We can thank the Republicans for that.
Since the 1980s, when Reagan essentialy declared war on the Middle Class, the rich have been getting richer, and the HARD WORKING middle class are getting poorer.

THE LEGACY OF THE POWELL MEMO

In 1971, a corporate lawyer and future supreme court member, Lewis F. Powell, wrote a memorandum to the Director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The memo called for the increased role of the Chamber to effect public opinion through the means of "constant surveillance" and the monitoring of textbooks and media to guard against "criticism of the enterprise system." Powell also called for increased influence in the "radio and press" and a "more aggressive attitude" in order to "influence consumer decisions."

The Chamber heeded his advice and helped initiate a new movement that spawned the creation of more Republican think-tanks, as well as other powerful organizations that would serve to put more business friendly politicians in power.

THE PLAN WORKED.

The Robber Barons are back in control.

MORE FUN WITH SARAH PALIN

What the heck is Palin wearing in these pictures?

Is this from a Halloween episode of Fox News or something?

Maybe she is the fairy princess of the mentally retarded. (sorry, no offense to the mentally retarded.)

And she wants to the the leader of the free world?

SOME REASONS WHY OBAMA IS DOING A GOOD JOB

Obama is presently working on ending oil and gas subsidies. Oil companies are receiving $4 billion a year in taxpayer subsidies that don't make sense and that we can't afford. That's why President Obama has called on Democrats and Republicans in Congress to stop subsidizing the oil and gas industry so that we can afford to invest in the clean energy economy of tomorrow.

Stopping oil market fraud. Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder announced a working group focused on rooting out the cases of fraud in the oil markets that might affect gas prices (the President discussed this in his Weekly Address last Saturday).

Reducing our dependence on oil. Stepping back to look at the bigger picture, President Obama recently unveiled his Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future that set a goal of reducing our imports of foreign oil by a third in a little over a decade. To do this we have to increase our domestic energy production, reduce our demand for oil by building cleaner, more efficient vehicles, and fully utilize alternatives to oil in the transportation sector like natural gas and advanced biofuels.

Oh yeah...AND HE GOT BIN LADEN!

MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED

A Republican led plan that will cut funding for the hiring of IRS agents as part of a deficit reduction strategy is being implemented.

This is despite a study by the Government Accountability Office that shows that, as of the end of fiscal year 2010, roughly $330 billion in federal taxes had never been paid -- an amount that, if collected, would represent nearly nine times the amount of savings as the budget itself!!!

“Cutting back on IRS enforcement could easily cost the treasury much more in revenue than it saves,” said Chuck Marr, Director of Federal Tax Policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

WELL THEY ARE EITHER DUMB AS MUD OR THIS IS APART OF THEIR EVIL PLAN TO MAKE "GREED" "GOOD."

RIGHT WING SPORTS UTOPIA

Imagine if Republican/Libertarians ruled the world.

Here is what their sporting events would be like:

1) There would hardly be any rules.

2) The winners would be not only be the most brutally strongest, but the most sneaky and deceptive.

3) Players would be able to bribe referees.

Social Darwinism in action!

RIGHT WING SPORTS UTOPIA!
Where cheaters and bullies win because the ends justify the means.

Isnt that right Newt?
Isnt that right you Ayn Rand reading idiots?

REPUBLICANS RELY ON THE IGNORANCE OF THEIR CONSERVATIVE BASE

In my debates with RepubliCons I have noticed that most of what they believe is not even true.

Republicans are taking advantage of the low education, fears, prejudaces, and ignorance of their conservative red-state base.

Here is what the Republicans told the conservatives:

1 - Democrats want to take away your guns.
2 - Democrats want to take away your Bibles
3 - Democrats want to let illegal immigrants into the country.
4 - Democrats are against Israel and stand on the side of the Muslims.
5 - Democrats care more about the rights of criminals than victims.
6 - Democrats want to replace capitalism with communism.
7 - Democrats want to give your hard-earned money away to lazy people who do not deserve it.

What they are doing is telling the conservatives that the liberals want to take away "their way of life."



Too bad these idiots dont realize that Obama is a half white Christian (not that it should matter)

BYE BYE BECK!

WE GOT 'EM!!!!! haha!

Just shows that complaining to advertisers and boycotting their products works!!!

Sing it:
NANANA NANANA, HEY HEY HEY, GOODBYE!!!!!

MORE DECEPTION FROM HANNITY AND FOX NEWS

Hannity began his show yesterday by saying that President Obama wants to raise "YOUR" taxes!

So who was he talking to you when he said that?

98% of the American people? (because that would not be true)

or the actual 2% who are rich enough to give a little more and help get us out of this financial mess?

Another example of Hannity and Fox News appealing to peoples ignorance, greed, and fear by LYING!

CONSERVATIVE GOLDEN ERA BROUGHT TO US BY THE DEMOCRATS!

Conservatives supposedly want to conserve the Leave it to Beaver era of the 1950s.

Too bad they dont realize that that post New Deal era was brought to them by the FDR Democrats!

THE "ENTITLEMENT" PROGRAM DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN

RepubliCons keep complaining about so-called "ENTITLEMENT" programs, like social security, medicare, medicaid, etc.

(The word "entitlement" is a reference to people who believe that the government owes them something for nothing.)

But how can these considered entitlements WHEN WE HAVE BEEN PAYING INTO IT WITH MONEY THAT WE HAVE EARNED BY OUR HARD WORKING!!!!!

Their entitlement frame was fabricated in one of their thinktank institutions. It is part of their effort to hand over these successful programs to their cronies in private industry.

Just remember this you RepubliCon lackeys. The cost of these programs will GO UP in order to increase CEO profits!!!

FUCK THE G.O.P

THE PLUTOCRATS ARE TAKING OVER OUR COUNTRY

Kevin Phillips, author and political strategist to President Nixon, admits that he believes that the United States is becoming a plutocracy (rule of the rich).

He said in a 2004 interview with Bill Moyers that the plutocracy has existed in a way that we haven't seen "since the Gilded Age."

Although, instead of Carnegie and Vanderbilt, we now have people like the Waltons and the Koch brothers.

Indeed, the top 1 percent of income earners in America were in 2008 earning 8 percent of the country’s total income, the same share as during the 1920s. A University of California-Berkeley study released in 2009 found that income inequality in 2007 was the highest it had ever been in recorded history, with the top 1 percent incomes capturing half of the overall economic growth over the period 1993-2007.

THE ROBBER BARONS ARE BACK!


WAAAAKE UP AMERICA!!!

MY DEBATE WITH A REPUBLICAN

I was chatting with a guy at a bar, and from out of the blue, he steered the conversation to the subject of politics and how much he hated Obama.

The following is a paraphrased account of what happened.



HIM: Things are only going to get worse with Obama in charge. Obama is an Obamination (i.e. abomination). I cant stand that guy.

ME: Why do you hate Obama so much? Because he wants you to have healthcare?

HIM: Forcing people to have healthcare is wrong.

ME: The government can force young men of a certain age to be drafted into the army. How is that any different?

HIM: Well. . . yeah, but . . . only in a war.

ME: Yeah, so? We are in a healthcare crisis. Even the people who COULD afford the corporate-care were going bankrupt and dying. The corporate system was corrupt.

HIM: [makes a sour face] Eh. . .

ME: Well something needed to be done; that is the bottom line. It was a system that was designed to make the fat-cats at the top, loads of money, at the expense of innocent people. It was wrong, and the Republicans, who were taking kickback shut-up money from these companies, weren't doing anything about it. At least the Democrats are trying to reform it. Also, if we Progressives had gotten what we wanted, there wouldn't have been any individual mandates! What should have happened was single-payer universal healthcare. What we got was actually the Mitt Romney healthcare plan! [laughter]

HIM: Raising my taxes in order to pay for it isn't right!

ME: [laughing] Your taxes were not raised!

HIM: Yes they were!

ME: [laughing harder] What are you talking about?! Obama actually LOWERED your taxes!

HIM: Bullshit. It is a fact that Obama raised taxes. That's what Democrats do!

ME: [At this point, I looked him in the eye and calmly said:] Sir. . . you have been misinformed. Obama actually lowered your taxes.

HIM: [smiles]

ME: The problem with you guys is that you watch too much Fox News and listen to too much Rush Limbaugh. You aren't getting the facts! You are getting brainwashed into believing things that are not true! Snap out of it!

HIM: I'm not brainwashed. The rest of the news channels, like CNN and all the rest, are all just a bunch of liberals! I cant watch that crap. Maybe YOU are the one who is brainwashed.

ME: So just because they are not propaganda tools for the Republican party they are liberal?

HIM: No. Not at all. You know what I mean. They have a liberal bias.

ME: There is no way that you can compare those radical cartoon characters on Fox, to legitimate mainstream news media. No frik'n way! The only news channel that really has a liberal bias is MSNBC.

HIM: I don't know about MSNBC. I only watch Fox News. It's is the only channel that is fair.

ME: [laughing hysterically. By now, everyone in the bar is looking at us] You mean to tell me that you don't know that Fox News is a Republican propaganda machine? [more laughter.] You mean you don't know that they outright lie! You should watch Jon Stewart's show. He is always exposing their lies

HIM: Oh come on. Fox has liberals on it too.

ME: Yeah, like one girly-man in a room full of bully Republicans. Come on.

HIM: [He goes back to his beer. Thinking a little more, then turns back to me an says] All I know is, that Obama is an anti-American socialist, and as far as I am concerned, he is one of he worst presidents this country has ever had.

ME: Better than Bush.

HIM: Obama said that he would reduce the deficit, but now he is spending MORE than Bush.

ME: That's not true! A majority of the debt occurred under Bush. Obama is now forced to prevent a full scale economic collapse by keeping the pillars of the economy intact by spending. This was not his economic policy to begin with, but he was forced into it. If a company is "too big to fail" then it is TOO BIG! We need regulation to prevent Too Big Too Fail, but Republicans are against regulation! Oh, and by the way. . . Obama's getting all of his bailout ideas from Bush's guy, Ben Bernake. That's why all I see when I look at the Tea Party, is hypocrites. Where was the outrage when Bush was handing out checks?

HIM: So where are you getting all of your information from? The liberal media?

ME: Oh no, not this again [laughter]. Two of the sources that I check is FactCheck.org and Politifact.com. Those are NON PARTISAN sites who call out anyone who does not get their facts straight; both Republican and Democrat. A good site to check is also MediaMatters.org. They are constantly exposing FoxNews and Rush Limbaugh's lies.

HIM: MediaMatters is a liberal site!

ME: That's true, but you should check it out anyway. You should hear the other side of the story sometimes. You know. . . to make sure that you are not getting brainwashed.

HIM: Oh yeah. So what about you? Do you listen to the other side of the story?

ME: I am an ex Republican. I know all of their points. I know all of their stories. I know all of their tricks. I used to be a big Rush Limbaugh fan. Every now and then I still try to tune into Fox and those radio clowns, just to see what they are up to. I just cant take it anymore. I end up yelling at the TV and radio. The hypocrisy and the lying has gotten out of control.

HIM: Lying huh? Yeah right. So I guess liberals never lie, right? Okay, so what made you change sides?

ME: I saw that the Republicans were nothing more than tools of the corporate wealthy elite, and the so-called 'conservatives' who were on their side were some of the most narrow-minded, ignorant, and mean-spirited I have ever come across. I have no respect for people like that.

HIM: Oh come on. Like the Democrats don't take corporate money too.

ME: That's true. They do. But they are still more likely to regulate and tax them fairly anyway. Look at the record. Everything that is related to human rights and fairness has been brought to us by the Dems . Everything that is related to corporate kickbacks and pollution has been brought to us by the Republicans.

HIM: Democrats got dirt on their hands too. Don't fool yourself.

ME: Well, I'm not saying their perfect, but at least they are making more of an effort to care about their fellow man, the hard working middle-class, and the environment.

HIM: Don't even start with that environmental global warming crap. That's a proven hoax.

ME: You say that you aren't brainwashed but everything you are saying is right out of the Republican playbook. They want people to disbelieve the overwhelming scientific evidence so that they can keep the factories running and keep the money rolling into their bank accounts. Its all about the money. Not the truth.

HIM: Oh please, Al Gore is in it for the money. He is so self-serving. He is a tool of Green industry. Give me a break.

ME: [laughing] Ohhhh, So it is Al Gore who is in it for the money! So it is Al Gore who is a self-serving tool! So what about the Big Oil companies and the tree choppers? They aren't self-servers who are in it for the money? There is no way that you can compare tiny green industry with the giant industrial monster that is Big Oil and the rest. No frick'n way! Maybe it is YOU who should give ME a break!

HIM: [Laughs a little.]

ME: But let me ask you this., in regards to pollution and global warming. . . what is the harm in being safe rather than sorry?

HIM: Uh. . . . well. . . I guess because it hurts the economy.

ME: Where there is a will there is a way. Green energy could become a huge and profitable industry if the corrupt powers that are holding it back were put in jail where they belong. Ever hear of that documentary: Who Killed the Electric Car?

HIM: No.

ME: Check that out.

HIM: I have to admit, I wouldn't mind seeing us get off of oil. If everything could run on corn or something, that would be fine with me.

ME: Hey! We agree on something!

HIM: [Nods]


We continued talking for a little more until he excuses himself. It was getting late and he needed to get back home; but, not before we shook hands.

FRANK LUNTZ AND NEWT GINGRICH: BRAINWASHERS FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

To win votes the Republicans needed to win minds. What they came to realize is that they needed to reframe the debate.

One of the secret weapons in this war of minds is a man named Frank Luntz, an American political consultant, pollster, focus group analyst, and commentator and analyst for the Fox News Channel. Luntz's specialty is “testing language and finding words that will help his clients sell their product, or turn public opinion on an issue or a candidate." His stated intention is to cause audiences to react based on emotion rather than thought. It was Luntz who changed estate tax to "death tax," oil drilling to "energy exploration," and tax cuts to "tax relief." He was also awarded the 2010 Politifact.com Lie of the Year award for his promotion of the phrase "government takeover" to refer to healthcare reform.

However, Luntz was not the only one who was interested in using words to influence hearts and minds. In 1994, Congressman Newt Gingrich wrote and distributed a memorandum (the “GOPAC Memo”) titled "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control.” In it, Republican candidates were instructed what words to use when defining their opponents. For instance: the word liberal is to be associated with bureaucracy, red tape, and traitors. While the word conservative is to be related to freedom, crusade, and pride. These connotations not only resonate in both the conscious and the subconscious mind, but more importantly, evoke emotion, which, according to Luntz, is the most important influencing factor of all—especially when pertaining to voters who are not well-informed on the issues.

Republicans have successfully turned the word liberal into a bad word, even though the original definition corresponds with the principles of freedom of speech, equality, fairness, and separation of church and state that the United States of America was founded upon.

A WARNING FROM HENRY WALLACE ABOUT FACISTS WHO MASQUARADE AS AMERICAN PATRIOTS

In 1944, FDR’s Vice President (from 1941 to 1945), Henry Wallace, wrote an article in the New York Times about the dangers of American Fascism. The following passages are excerpts from this article, in which he describes the wealthy corporate elite as "fascists."

"The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism."

"They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

"But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power."

"Still another danger is represented by those who, paying lip service to democracy and the common welfare, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion."

REPUBLICAN DIRTY TRICKS

Alright! Just discovered this site. Check it out.

http://republicandirtytricks.com/

THE REAL WISCONSIN PROBLEM

The Wisconsin situation has nothing to do with "balancing the budget." When Walker came in he actually helped make the situation worse with his tax cuts for the rich.

Walker is using a technique called "defund the left."
Here is how it works:

1- Give huge tax cuts to the wealthy elite who helped put you into office.

2- Use the budget deficit as an excuse to cut programs that help the workers - In this case, the unions.

3- Once the unions no longer have collective bargaining power, membership drops.

4- Once membership drops, the hard working middle-class no longer have power to prevent themselves from being taken advantage of. But more importantly, they no longer have the ability to donate money to the Democrats.

This is a political move. Not a budgetary one. Dont be fooled.

Why doesnt Walker care that polls show that a majority of people disagree with what he is doing? Because its all about the money, not the people. Walker knows that he is going to have a well paying job waiting for him as a reward for being the lap-dog of Koch Industries.

If this is about the budget then why didnt walker go after the police and fire unions too? Because they paid him off in campaign contributions.

You want to know the truth? Follow the money.

THE DIABOLICAL KOCH BROTHERS. THE NEW ROBBER BARONS.

David and Charles Koch, co-owners of Koch Industries and primary financiers of the Tea Party, have amassed one of the world’s largest private fortunes and Koch Industries is the second largest privately held company in America.

Are they using that money to help cure the world's problems and help people, like the 22,000 children die each day due to poverty? HECK NO!

As ThinkProgress.org has documented over the last three years, Koch groups have spent tens of millions to influence government policy — from financing the Tea Parties, to funding junk academic studies, to undisclosed attack ads against Democrats, to groups promoting climate change denial (so that they can continue to make a fortune polluting the planet.)

Koch political donations have helped the company escape serious prosecution for their toxic pollution crimes. Their underhanded dealings and bribery of Republican politicians is just too long to even list.

The Koch brothers have claimed that they oppose government intervention in the market, but Koch Industries lobbies aggressively for taxpayer handouts,
Koch also benefits directly from billions in taxpayer subsidies for oil companies and ethanol production. They sure love Big Government when they can use it for their own advantage.

They will not stop until they replace our Democratic Republic with a corporate Plutocracy (rule of the rich). And so far, they are winning.

Help put a dent in Koch bros. profits.
Here is a list of Koch Industries products to boycott:

Anything That Georgia-Pacific Produces:
Angel Soft, Quilted Northern, and Soft n Gentle toilet paper; Brawny paper towels; any of the Dixie plates, bowls and napkins; Sparkle, Vanity Fair and Zee napkins.

Donald Duck Meets Glenn Beck in Right Wing Radio Duck

Beck is aware of this video and responded on his radio show that Walt Disney would have "hated" what the progressive left are up to. He calls it "propaganda", and accuses the maker of the video of receiving federal funding - all of which are not true of course. But who is beck to fact check.

AYN RAND WAS A HORRIBLE PERSON

"Ayn Rand," real name Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, was a proponent of "egoism" and the "Virtues of Selfishness". As far as she was concerned, altruism was a sin.

Her anti humanitarian philosophy is a favorite of libertarian/republican corporate CEOs.

She condemned social programs that helped people but received social security and medicare benefits under another assumed name (ann o'connor).

Rand also believed that the scientific consensus on the dangers of tobacco was a hoax. By 1974, the two-pack-a-day smoker, required surgery for lung cancer.(are we headed the same way with global warming?)

She was a cold-hearted hypocrite;
and unfortunately, her book Atlas Shrugged is being made into a movie(in theaters april 15).


PS. Found this on the ayn rand Center for Individual Rights website.
entitled: “Social Security is Immoral”

REPUBLICANS ARE SOCIOPATHS

SOCIOPATHS
[soh-see-uh-path]
–noun Psychiatry .
a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.


The Republicons are against
equality, fairness, and consumer regulations that protect peoples health and lives.

They see people who need help as dirty low-down free-loading scum.

They want to cut social safety net spending but increase military spending for wars for natural resources.

Things like humanism and compassion sickens them.

That is because they are sociopaths.

JPMORGAN. An Anti American Corporation

JPMorgan is the largest servicer of food-stamps in the U.S., offering benefit cards in 26 states. As Mary Bottari wrote for AlterNet, “The firm is paid per customer. This means that when the number of food stamp recipients goes up, so do JPMorgan profits.”

Bottari adds: “JPMorgan is taking its responsibility to keep the U.S. unemployment rate high by offshoring the servicing of many of these contracts to India, according to ABC News.”

But wait...it gets even worse.

JPMorgan was the recipient of $25 billion worth of taxpayer bailout, and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, took home $17 million in compensation last year.

Hey RepubliCons!!
This is why the private industry cannot be trusted to solve America's problems.

IF THEY CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ECONOMY THEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL DO. Only Regulations keep these crooks in place. Of course, RepubliCons are against regulation.

REAGAN WAS A BAD BAD PRESIDENT

The RepubliCons are celebrating the 100 year anniversary of their hero Ronald Reagan. They have even started a campaign to put him on U.S. currency.

The truth about Reagan...

Reagan nearly tripled the federal budget deficit.

Income inequality grew during his war on the middleclass.

He tried to sabotage social security.

He lied about the "welfare queen" in order to drum up support for his cold-hearted anti-humanity campaign.

His deregulation policies led to Savings and Loan crisis in which 747 institutions failed and had to be rescued with $160 billion of taxpayer monies .

He vetoed an anti-Apartheid act that placed sanctions on South Africa.

He illegally sold weapons to Iran (Iran Contra scandal)and used the money to fund an illicit war in Nicaragua and then LIED about it!

And no...he did not single handedly bring down the Soviet Union. There were actually many factors involved.

WE MUST SAY NO TO REAGAN DEIFICATION!

HEALTHCARE REFORM LIES

Republicons are saying that healthcare is a government "take over of healthcare." (which according to the NON PARTISAN fact check site Politifact.com, is not true.

They are calling it a "job crushing" bill that will push our nation into further debt, although according to the NON PARTISAN Congressional Budget Office, this is NOT TRUE.

They are telling people that they will have no choice in what provider they can go to.

And they are still trying to scare conservatives by saying that the healthcare reform will fund abortion.

Then of course, there are Sarah Palin's "death panels."

NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!

Republicons use CBO numbers when they agree with them, but ignore them when they don't like them.

The reason why healthcare reform poll numbers are a little on the low side is because not only are the lies working but because many of us thought that it DIDNT GO FAR ENOUGH!! What we wanted was single-payer universal Medicare for all! Or at least a public option.

Of course the Republicons wont admit that. They just continue to lie, and unfortunately, the lies are working.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA? HERE IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA
