Palin Blames Track’s Arrest on PTSD, from his Stolen Valor “Combat” Service

Today, in an appearance by the Trump/Palin Donkey Show, at Orel Robert’s University, in Oklahoma, Trump’s Secretary of the Liquor Cabinet, Sarah Palin, in the typical Palin It’s Obama’s fault universe, blamed her off-spring Track’s behavior on his patriotic, heroic combat military service in Iraq, which led to his developing PTSD, which explains away his behavior.
Not his fault, oh no, the Islamics and Obama forced him to do it. So, that must explain Track’s pre-military service criminal behavior as well. Must have been Pre-PTSD, which conveniently absolves Sarah’s precocious prodigy from any personal responsibility for his behavior. What she also failed to mention is that boy wonder Track was forced into military service or else be put in jail for his criminal behavior. So, what could be more patriotic than going into the military. Choice easy, get to kill Muslims or be some big dude’s bitch in jail. My hero.

]Sarah put a lot of emphasis (re.: blame) that Track’s PTSD was caused by his combat experience. However, on reading Track’s discharge paper, there is no Combat Infantry Badge (CIB) award issued designation.

]

III. AWARD ELIGIBILITY

Awarded to personnel in the grade of Colonel or below with an infantry or special forces military occupational specialty who have satisfactorily performed duty while assigned as a member of an infantry/special forces unit, brigade or smaller size, during any period subsequent to 6 December 1941 when the unit was engaged in active ground combat. The policy was expanded to permit award to Command Sergeants Major of infantry battalions or brigades, effective 1 December 1967. Specific criteria for each conflict was also established. Only one award is authorized for service in Vietnam, Laos, the Dominican Republic, Korea (subsequent to 4 January 1969), El Salvador, Grenada, Panama, the Southwest Asia and Somalia, regardless of whether an individual has served in one or more of these areas. The complete criteria for each area and inclusive dates are listed in Army Regulation 600-8-22.


If American War Hero Extraordinaire Track the Merciless actually served in combat, he would have the CIB listed in Section 13. There is no such listing for a CIB award. It is quite obvious that Track the Jihadist Hunter never actually served in combat. However, good ol’ Sarah the Grifter emphasized quite vociferously that Track’s combat experience caused his PTSD. WTF?? Sounds like another right winger’s disgusting fraudulent assertion of Stolen Valor. All the while, one of the main points of every “speech” she makes, is her relentless and conscienceless pimping of American service people for her own self-aggrandizement.

It looks like Team Trump has taken control of what Sarah says at the mike. Team Trump obviously wrote her speech and they must have laid down the law to her that she follows/reads their speech, not one of her TweakerSpeak diatribes. Her presentation today was definitely written by beings of a much higher intelligence level, as it was coherent.
So, world beware, it looks like Sarah is now officially an integral member of the Trump Bowel Movement.

Every day, the bar is dropped lower and lower. And the brownshirts just eat this shit up.

GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

If somebody could please post his discharge paper on this thread, I would greatly appreciate it, I can't post an image

To Progressive Turnout & Left Action: Ban Voting Machines, We Cannot Fix a “Fixed” System

This article is specifically directed to the following people:

At Progressive Turn Out Project:
Henry Pascal
Ram Villivalam
Mike Murray

And at Left Action:
John Hlinko

Your two groups, Progressive Turn Out and Left Action have sent out an email requesting people to sign the following petition:

“ it's time to bring our voting machines into the 21st century. Sign the Progressive Turnout Project's petition to tell Congress to fix our outdated voting infrastructure”
“ Tell Congress to bring our voting machines into the 21st century >>

It’s been 15 years since Florida’s hanging-chad ballot debacle, yet few states have fixed their unreliable voting systems. Congress has a duty to protect our votes, but on this core issue, it has failed.

Click below to tell Congress to fix our outdated voting infrastructure so everyone can exercise their right to vote:”


Taking a leadership role in motivating, organizing, recruiting, and pursuing a purpose driven political campaign carries with it a number of significant responsibilities. High up on this list, is the necessity to not mislead your audience, who you seek to mobilize. By not misleading them, this means that you do not present erroneous, deceitful, deceptive, and/or misleading “facts”, concepts, themes, and the like to the people which you are portending to offer leadership to. Coinciding with this, it is imperative that leaders and advocates carefully and strategically use the art of defining and “framing” their subject matter to enhance their communication effectiveness to their audience. Words and phrases do matter. This is a skill which the Repugs have elevated to a fine art, note the success of wordmaster Frank Luntz. However, they do this by using a foundation of lies, deceit, and complete fabrication. On our side, we must avoid this foundation of deceit as it invalidates and discredits any of our positions. Further, if one invokes a specific subject, it is imperative upon the “leader” to become as knowledge as possible to present and advocate for an unimpeachable position.

This is a philosophy and foundation upon which I operated on when I was fighting against electronic voting machines and which I conveyed to those in our election integrity activist group. There is no reason why it should not be your foundation as well.

All of which takes us to your petition and email blast.

Let’s start with your basic premise, “ …it’s time to bring our voting machines into the 21st century”

The problem is the entire concept of electronic voting machines. They were conceived and exist for one purpose, and one purpose only, to “FIX” elections. That means to facilitate “Tabulation Manipulation”, to rig the vote, to alter and change vote counts. Electronic voting machines exist for that purpose only. Any claims that they exist for expediency of election results are specious excuses, and nothing else. Electronic voting machines have eviscerated any semblance of transparency and accountability in the American voting system. They have made a mockery of the concept of American Democracy via a free, open and honest voting process. There exists a recent historical account of various acts of Tabulation Manipulation by electronic voting machines in American elections since their introduction in 2000. Electronic voting systems cannot ever be made secure from manipulation, period. The answer is not to “fix” a system which was created to FIX elections. The answer is to remove electronic voting machines from existence in America.

So, why is your petition and email blast so unacceptable?

Since all of you to whom this article is addressed are assuming leadership roles in the Progressive Movement, you bear a responsibility to not deceive your audience. Yet your basic premise, hook, message and petition is based on, at best, a dubious and inaccurate foundation. It is the absolute wrong message to send out to a Progressive audience.

Your groups are trying to capitalize on and capture the Bernie supporters, many of whom are becoming newly politically aware and involved, and who obviously have Progressive views. However, many of these new activists have not been exposed to extensive information about electronic voting machines. Which is why your petition is so wrong, for the reasons stated above.

Your position actually runs counter to that taken by most knowledgeable Progressives. What I see in your petition and blast is not an effort to educate new Progressive folks, but to exploit an extremely serious problem with a very superficial, misleading and inaccurate sales pitch. Thereby failing miserably in your duties and responsibilities as Progressive movement leaders.

The only acceptable solution to the problem which your petition is addressing is:

Ban all electronic voting machines and systems.

Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” Played At Trump Rallies –WTF ?

“Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste”

“Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game”


According to an article in the Washington Post, by Stephanie McCrummen, describing the scene at the Trump Rally in Mesa, Arizona, inside a cavernous hangar, at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, the Trump Rally organizers played the Rolling Stones songs “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Jumping Jack Flash”, to jack up the crowd even more. Driven by the Trump campaign’s delusional sense of omnipotent messianic superiority, these budding Fascists probably think that this song is actually an homage to the Great One, Donald Trump. Add to that, the fact that Trump rallies are basically New Age Klan Rallies, they seem to believe that this song is their theme song.

Nothing could be further from the truth. This song is about the evils of such men as Trump and his Mighty Whitey Militia flock.

From SongFacts, on "Sympathy for the Devil” :
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=509

“The lyrics were inspired by ‘The Master and Margarita’, a book by Mikhail Bulgakov. British singer Marianne Faithfull was Mick Jagger's girlfriend at the time and she gave him the book. Faithfull came from an upper-class background and exposed Jagger to a lot of new ideas. In the book, the devil is a sophisticated socialite, a "man of wealth and taste”

“Keith Richards (2002): "Sympathy is quite an uplifting song. It's just a matter of looking the Devil in the face. He's there all the time. I've had very close contact with Lucifer - I've met him several times. Evil - people tend to bury it and hope it sorts itself out and doesn't rear its ugly head. Sympathy for the Devil is just as appropriate now, with 9/11. There it is again, big time. When that song was written, it was a time of turmoil. It was the first sort of international chaos since World War II. And confusion is not the ally of peace and love. You want to think the world is perfect. Everybody gets sucked into that. And as America has found out to its dismay, you can't hide. You might as well accept the fact that evil is there and deal with it any way you can. Sympathy for the Devil is a song that says, Don't forget him. If you confront him, then he's out of a job." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)”
...
“Other historical events alluded to in the song include the 100 years war ("fought for ten decades&quot and the Holocaust ("and the furnace stank&quot . (thanks, Phil - Rochester, NY)”

Being a hardcore Stones fan, I saw their first public concert in L.A., at the old Long Beach Auditorium, and many times since. I saw them do this song and “Midnite Reaper”, they both really went together, in ’68 and ’69, and at Altamonte. Believe me, this song does not honor Trump and his brownshirts, it decries them.

So, people out here in the last vestiges of DemocracyLand, what do we do about this shit?

Like their song, how ‘bout some “Street Fighting Man”. Let us contemporize that, and start a Twitter campaign,, oh let’s say :

#No Rolling Stones at Trump Rallies”

I do not use Twitter myself, but perhaps all you folks can start this going.
What do you say people??

“Sympathy For The Devil”
“Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(Woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(Woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
(Who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(Woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(Who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(Who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(Woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(Who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(Woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
(Woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
(Who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
(Woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who

“Free & Equal Blues” by Josh White-Relevant in 1941 and Relevant Now

“I went down to that St. James Infirmary
I saw some plasma there
I up'd and asked that doctor man
Now was the donor dark or fair

The doctor laughed a great big laugh
And he puffed it right in my face
He says, "A molecule is a molecule son,
And the damn thing has no race.
…”


The more things change, the more things remain the same. Although this song was written by Josh White, in 1941, appearing on the album “Southern Exposure”, it continues to be relevant, poignant, and powerful to this day. Or, as the famous American philosopher, Muddy Waters said, “It’s talkin’ ‘bout the same thing”.

I heard this song on Sirius’ Bluesville, on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, the day after the video was released of the murder of Laquan McDonald, by a Chicago police officer, and within days of Black Lives Matter protestors targeted and shot by white supremacists in Minneapolis.

This is just another episode in the rapidly growing, very real socio/political juggernaut of racist based hatred, white supremacist violence, and fundamentalist, religious extremist terrorism against ethnic non-Caucasians, women and non-Christian extremists in America today. As each day goes by, this movement and its values are fed by politicians, (Donald Trump, et. al), a media machine (Fox and conservative talk radio) and fundamentalist religious extremist “pastors”. After eight years of an intensive campaign promoting race based hatred against Obama and an entire demographic population, this religious, white supremacist hatred has been legitimized and mainstreamed. Combined with “Open Carry of Weapons” laws, a perverted sense of genetic and religious entitlement, and Dyylan Roof’s racist call to action terrorist mass murder of nine Afro American people in a Charleston church, white supremacists are now engaged in open assaults, physical and psychological, on their perceived enemies, on a daily basis in America. And, they are added and abetted by similar minded politicians who have enacted voter suppression and race and demographic targeted repressive laws.

Thus, in this context and environment, this song becomes that much more relevant, meaningful, current, and powerful

I probably have not listened to this song for 45 years. Knowing that it was fairly old, and moved by how powerful, timely and well-crafted it was, I Googled it as soon as I stopped driving, in the parking lot of Ralph’s Market, in Malibu. Some juxtaposition there, huh. As great as the song is, the story of Josh White is equally impressive, and moving.

One of the things about the blues is how well crafted, in the hands of a great blues writer, with a sparseness of words, a complex story and imagery can be told and conveyed. Such is the effect of this song.

The blues was borne out of the poverty and extreme harsh socio and economic conditions faced by Black people in the South. Hence it is naturally conducive to have developed an underlying sense of social consciousness as part of its very foundation. The music of the blues was the media of their culture, and as such, the music was an expression of their lives and existence. The blues is no stranger to writing/singing about the misery wrought by the aftermath of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and racism. Probably, for good reason, the most notable song is Billie Holiday’s morally haunting “Strange Fruit”. As it turns out, Josh White wrote and sang about these issues quite eloquently, yet in an almost simplistic manner. Some, in the past have called this “Protest Music”, but in the ‘60’s, music, no matter of what genre, which addressed socio/economic/political issues, was appropriately categorized as “socially conscious” in its being and nature, its “Gestalt” so as to speak.

In my Google search, I found an incredible article by Elijah Wald, entitled “Josh White and the Protest Blues”, (published in Living Blues magazine), detailing the life and career of Josh White. http://www.elijahwald.com/joshprotest.html

I highly recommend that you read this. I sat there, in the parking lot of the Malibu “Ralph’s Market”, the day before Thanksgiving, mesmerized reading this, all the while the rich and famous were coming and going at the market. Seriously. Ain’t your common folk ‘hood, there.

In “An introduction to Josh White”, Elijah Wald writes :
“ ‘Southern Exposure: An Album of Jim Crow Blues’ was the third album by Josh White, a young singer who was then staking out a unique position in American music: he was the only musician ever to make a name for himself singing political blues. Oddly, he made no claim to uniqueness; like Wright, he argued that the blues was by its nature a protest music, and decades of writers on the subject would concur.” “ … It was the first full-fledged Civil Rights record album…”“

Southern Exposure’ was also reviewed in the mainstream media, even getting a full story in the New York Times, which had paid virtually no attention to blues until that time. This coverage all concentrated on the political content of his music, the Times writer noting that "the burden of these songs is the bitter lot of the Negro seeking his need of equality."


“When someone sent him (President Franklin Roosevelt) a copy of ‘Southern Exposure’, he became interested in meeting this voice of black protest and invited Josh to the White House. "He said he wanted to see what I looked like singing the song to him," Josh later recalled….”


“Josh gave a concert for the Roosevelts, then had a quiet chat with the President. He brought up problems like the "walking tax" that blacks in his home town of Greenville, South Carolina, had to pay simply to use streets, and Roosevelt expressed sympathy and interest. In the following years, Josh would perform for FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt many times, and became
Walking Tax: There is still a similar tax, imposed upon and inflicted upon the primarily black neighborhoods of Ferguson, Missouri.

…“Like many people, he was caught completely off guard by the virulence of the anti-Communist witch hunt, especially since one of the first targets was his home base: Cafe Society, the nightclub where he had headlined for years and had his greatest success, was hounded out of business in the first days of the scare because of its owner’s left-wing connections.”…

“Then, in 1950, while on his first tour of Europe, Josh found that he had been named in Red Channels, "The Bible of the Blacklist."…”
…”Attempting to walk a middle line, he refused to "name names" of fellow leftists, but appeared voluntarily before HUAC, the congressional committee investigating "subversives," to say that he had been misled by the Communists and to repudiate a purported statement by Paul Robeson that African Americans would not fight in a war between the US and the USSR. Since this was still the early days of the blacklist, his appearance clearly played into the hands of the red-hunters, and earned him the undying resentment of his old friends and younger folksingers on the left. Meanwhile, he maintained his strong stance on Civil Rights issues, ensuring that he would have few boosters in the conservative camp.”

“Josh died in 1969, and his popularity outlasted him for only a few more years. The folk revival was ending, and the new generations of blues fans had no interest in his smooth, cabaret stylings….”


So, why was I so impressed with and inspired to write this article about a song written in 1941 and sung by a long since deceased bluesman, you read the lyrics and decide for yourself.

FREE AND EQUAL BLUES:
(Josh White)

“I went down to that St. James Infirmary
I saw some plasma there
I up'd and asked that doctor man
Now was the donor dark or fair

The doctor laughed a great big laugh
And he puffed it right in my face
He says, "A molecule is a molecule son,
And the damn thing has no race."

And that was news, yes that was news
That was very very very special news
'Cause ever since that day we've had those
Free and equal blues

I never knew that in a plasma
Test tube there could be
White man, black man, yellow man, red,
Well, that's just what that doctor said,

So he put down his doctor book
And he gave me a very scientific look
And spoke out plain and clear and rational, and said,
"Metabolism's international"

And that was news, that was news
That was very very very special news
'Cause ever since that day we've had those
Free and equal blues

Then he rigged up his microscope with some royal blue blood
It was the same as Chun King-(?Moscow?)-Chatanooga-Timbuktu blood
Those men think they know the corpuscle's global
And international racial supremacy
Flying in the face of old man chemistry,
Taking all the facts and trying to twist 'em
But you can't overthrow the circulatory system

And that was news, that was news
That was very very very special news
'Cause ever since that day we've had those
Free and equal blues

So I stayed at that St. James Infirmary
I couldn't leave that place, it was too interesting
So I said to that doc,
"Give me some more of that "scientific talk" talk
And he did,
He said, "Melt yourself down into a crucible,
Pour yourself out into a test tube and what have you got?
35 cubic feet of gas, that's the same for the upper and lower class"
Well, I let that pass
Carbon, 22 pounds 10 ounces, (? ?)
Carbon, 22 pounds 10 ounces,
Iron, seven grains; not enough to keep a man in chains
50 ounces of phosphorous, whether your poor or prosperous,
Hey buddy, can you spare a match
(?The same?) for all nations
Then you take 22 teaspoons of sodium cloride, that's salt,
You add 38 quarts of H20, that's water
Mix two ounces of lime, a pinch(? ?) of potash, a drop of magnesia,
a bit of sulphur, a soup'con of hydrochloric acid
And you stir it all up and what are you?
You're a walkin' drugstore. An international metabolistic cartel."

And that was news, that was news
That was very very very special news

So listen you African, Indian, Mexican, Mongolian, Tyrolean and Tartar
The doctor's right behind the magna charter
The doc's behind the new brotherhood of man
As prescribed at Gettysburg, Iwo Jima, at Bull Run, and at Guadalcanal
"Every man, every where is the same... when he got his skin off"

And that's the news, that's the news
That's the free and equal blues" “

GOP Debate was “Who Is the Biggest Wuss”

Well, it seems that each of the GOP (Grifters on Parade) Debate has a specific theme.

The first debate, on Fecal News, was basically the Fecal News whoremongers “Whore Showcase”. All the Presidential candidates lined up like a hooker line up at the Mustang Ranch, where all the potential buyers were able to inspect the goods to see which whore could provide them with the “special” services they desired. There was a full range spread out there on stage, from the high priced crème de la crème, Pretty Boy Marco Rubio, the most desired, willing to please any and all requests, down to the bargain basement fluffers in the opening low budget debate. And they made it real clear, you give us the money, and we will be your own personal servant. And let me tell you, the Fecal News Whoremongers were oh so proud of their stable.

Debate number two was essentially “The Who Has the Biggest Dick” contest. Each of the contestants did their best to prove that they could kill the most people, wage the most wars, exploit graphically the misery of miscarriages, and tell the biggest lies. I was waiting for one of them to whip out a jar of blood and drink it onstage, kind of an Ozzie Osborne moment.

Debate number three, well, for this one, they brought out the Republican “Scare America” donkey show. These intellectual geniuses got so wrapped up into demonizing the moderators that they actually bought into their own bullshit and managed to intimidate themselves. They seemingly had an ongoing contest on stage to prove who was the biggest wuss. The only way to tell, was to inspect their underwear to see who wet themselves the most. The maintenance crew should have put up those yellow “Caution Wet Floor” warning stands in front of each “contestant”.

Now, let’s take a look at this fabulous stable of whores.
At the top of the charts, we have Donald “I’m Yuge” Trump. He’s got so much money, you can’t quite buy him, or maybe you can. Cream, in their song “Politician”, has him covered :
“Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I just want to show you what my politics are.
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach.
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach.
So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.”

Comin’ on strong, is the one and only, The Evil Yoda, Ben Carson, the snake oil salesman, spiritual guru of the borg, pathological liar, grifter/con artist par excellence, vacuous all knowing of nothing sage, Afro Republican, holocaust and slavery exploiter for profit piece of shit. This is a man of true consistency, as anything and everything of which he speaks is a lie. Just give him your money, gaze into the vacuous, vapid, black hole bottomless pits of his eyes and he will provide you with a fraudulent sense of moral superiority and convince you that your ignorance is your salvation.

Leading the “Establishment” traditional whores, we offer you Marco “Pretty Boy” Rubio. Received a 100% Score on the Political Whore scale. He will do and say anything your imagination desires for a price. Nothing is out of the question for some money. Anyway you want it. Anytime you want it. Plus he is pretty too, not some used up, high mileage, worn out political skank. Fresh, if you know what I mean. No conscience to complicate things. You know, this is a real Friends With Benefits candidate here folks. You gonna get a real good time with this one. Gonna get your money’s worth here. Guaranteed.

Next up, is the pathetic “Vulture Neck” Jeb? Bush, lucky sperm, that can’t swim upstream. This sperm will never find the egg. Got his brother’s Metamucil touch, everything he touches turns to shit. Thought that he was guaranteed this one, as he started the voter registration genocide program in 2000. And demolished any semblance of voting based democracy in America. Karma is a bitch asshole.

Kasich (whatever the fuck your first name is): Get off the fucking stage and stay off until you clean up Ohio’s criminal voter repression acts and internet voting tabulation manipulation. Put election corruption criminals in jail instead of killing young black males.

Gnarly Carly Fecalrina – Another pathological liar. A prime example of failure upwards. You know that anything she says, she pulled out of her ass. She is the poster person of corporate ascendancy. Advance at the expense of others, no matter how much you lie about them, frame them, use them, fuck people over, just do it. Aside here- years ago, hubby Frank was in a band called the “Aristocrats”. Now, he and his loving wife, Gnarly Carly, are in the middle of the long running comedy bit, known as “The Aristocrats”. Eat your heart out, Gilbert Gottfried. As twisted and perverted your version of this bit is, it doesn’t come close to the GOP version.

Chris Crispee: You care about the working class? Really? REALLY? Go back to the basement in your Jersey house, close the door, and jerk off to Bruce Springsteen.

Arkansas Governor Mullah Mike Dingleberry: So, asshole, you want to shove Cristo Sharia law down America’s throat, under the guise of Religious Liberty and Freedom, and anybody that resists your fundamentalist extremist religious coercion and intimidation are equal to radical Islamic Terrorists and therefore are not entitled to any and all Constitutional rights and protections. Basically you equate fundamentalist extremist tyranny and totalitarianism with Religious Liberty and Freedom of Speech. Fuck off you piece of shit.

Texas Senator Chucky Cruz: You were a clerk to a Supreme Court Justice. And you do not know the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States? Another Cristo Jihadist whose intent it is to establish Christo Sharia Law, Christo Tyranny and Totalitarianism in America. Has anybody ever seen Chucky and Senator Cruz in the same place, at the same time? No, because they are the same evil entity. Chucky Cruz, the Evil Seed of Cristo Jihadists.

Rand Paul: Too bad that about 40% of what you say makes sense. The rest is well, you know yourself…just f’n bullshit.

Gone, but not forgotten-
Scott “Zombie” Wanker: One sleazy, slimy, beady-eyed, bloodless, soulless Zombie. Should be a background prop for Ivanna Cadaver on “Macabre Theater”. Ask ‘em nice, give ‘em a blow job and the Koch Brothers will buy the show for you.

And finally, we get to the bottom feeders, the bargain basement, how much money is in your pocket, The GOP Fluffers of 2016.

Lindsey Graham (Cracker): War. War. And More War. Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out.

Bobby Jizzdoll : Another Christo Jihadist punk.

Santorum: Wrote laws to financially benefit developers. When he left office, was put on their payroll for a million a year. And this piece of shit has the nerve to claim moral superiority.

So, these are the beauty contestants in this process known as the Corporate and Religious Whores for sale exchange program, otherwise known as the GOP Presidential Debates. Take your pick, all bids taken, they have no shame, no conscience, no morals, they just want your money and will do anything you desire. They truly are the assets that just keep giving. Remember, the more money you give 'em, the more "Bang" for the buck you gonna get. Do not be afraid, join this contest to see who will be chosen as the 2016 Republikkklan Whore of the Year.

GRRRRR!!!!!

Ben Carson is the Yoda of the Borg

As one gazes into the vacuous depths of Somnambulistic Swami Ben Carson’s eyes, the viewer becomes acutely aware and impressed that these are eyes into the deep, endless, bottomless cosmic black hole ( astro physically, a la Neil DeGrasse Tyson) of limitless ignorance. Ignorance on a level obtained by only a gifted handful of the most unenlightened spiritual leaders amongst us.

Having obtained this highly vaulted and rarified level of spirituality and infinite ignorance has propelled Soma Ben into the position of being the spiritual guide and Guru of the Collective Conscious, aka the Borg. Being the possessor and practitioner of such great and immense intellectual, spiritual, and psychic powers requires boundless discipline, and Yoda Ben handles these responsibilities with delicate perfection.

Come, join us on a deeply spiritual awaking journey with our spiritual master and guide, Guru Yoda Ben Carson, Master of the Universe.

Supplicants, the Borg faithful, in the presence of their hallowed Savant, become enraptured with his passionate guidance into the vast realm of spiritual ignorance. Captivated by the vapid, vacuous glazed gaze of Swami Ben, the Borg flock are hypnotically seduced into a mesmerizing trance of a collective acceptance, belief and allegiance of and to a value system of mind numbing ignorance.

Rather than using his super powers of spirituality to elevate people’s values and beliefs to a higher level of intelligence, Yoda Ben’s powers are used to reinforce the feeble minded that their ignorance reigns supreme and is indeed the pinnacle of human intellectual development (can’t use the concept of evolution here). Hence, Soma Swami Ben does not challenge his minions beliefs, rather as their spiritual leader, he gives them comfort and positive reinforcement that their ignorance is their salvation.

As to an example of Yoda Ben’s vast power of Psychic Domination, one need only to view CNN’s Wolf Blitzer’s interview with His Holy One, Yoda Ben. Swami Ben’s assertion that the German Jews themselves were responsible for the Holocaust went virtually unchallenged by the Jewish Wolf Blitzer. This could only have been accomplished by Yoda Ben’s complete powers of mind control which were exercised on ole Wolfie, because, as a Jewish person myself, I cannot envision how any Jew could passively and submissively sit there and accept such a vile assertion without going Medieval on Yoda Ben.

As possessor and master of his vast and infinite knowledge of all matters of ignorance, it is no surprise that Swami Soma Ben Carson has become the Charismatic Spiritual Yoda of the Borg and not just another insipid, self aggrandizing, morally and ethically bankrupt, soulless, vile, Rethug politician.

GRRRR!!!!


Purpose of this article: For the past month, I have been trying to figure out what is the appeal of this guy. Why do they like him, in an almost worshipful way. To analyze this, one had to not look at it from my perspective & frame of reference, but from their perspective. And this is what I came up with.

I got this link & story from "Bush Bites" at Daily Kos- it is real good

Speakernado is empowerment for TeaBaggers and worse is to come

For all of you folks out there who are giddy and delirious with glee that this Speakernado situation is the demise of the Rethugs, guess again. This is not the bonanza Dems think that it is. This folks, is just the beginning of some really bad shit to come.

A group of 40 Teabaggers, under the ozymoronic (this is an apt combination of 2 definitions) title of “Freedom Caucus”, has been able to bring the Congress of the United States of America to a standstill. Next up in their battle plan is to bring it to submission. Having obtained the power to accomplish what they have accomplished this week, i.e. controlling who is to be Speaker of the House, they realize that they are on the path to complete control of the U.S. Congress. This accomplishment is an inducement and inspiration to get more people with the same political values to enter the GOP Congressional primaries in the next round of elections.

Now they know that they can, indeed take over our government.

There are a couple of factors which will ensure that they will succeed in Teabaggers winning more GOP primaries.
Firstly, it is well known that basically, the majority of Repugs voting in primaries are extremists, they are almost guaranteed that Teabaggers will win. The GOP really does not have an effective get out the vote plan which appeals to “moderate’ (I use the term loosely) GOP voters. They are not as motivated to vote in primaries as are ‘baggers. As a result of the constant propaganda machine from Fecal News, GOP voters are of such a low information level of awareness that they do not actually care about the damage done by ‘bagger candidates.
Secondly, the PACS, i.e. the Koch Bros., have an extremely large amount of money and an effective plan which is directed at the local, regional races. This plan and money virtually assures regional, local and state control over the election process. As a result, there will a whole new wave of ignorant subhuman colostomy bags coming into Congress after the next election, which will increase the ranks of the “Freedom to Fuck Up America” Caucus.

The question is, will Dems be able to recapture enough seats to counter this Assholenado onslaught ?

Aside: Well, Boehner, McCarthy, McConnell, et. al who were present at the Caucus Room meeting on the nite of Obama’s inauguration where ya’ all established your agenda to kill any of Obama’s policies, how does it feel to have the same thing done to you? By your own party members? By an extremist monster which you assholes created and is now out to destroy you?

KARMA’S a Bitch, ain’t it.

Mullah Dingleberry: Here are the laws which Clerk Davis has violated

Today class, we are taking the Great Mullah Dingleberry Challenge

Well, Gov. Mullah Mike Dingleberry, you and Kim’s husband, Goober Joe, challenged America to name and identify exactly which statutes and laws Mrs. Sharia Law Davis actually violated.

Whoop- Here they are :

Let us start at the Supreme Court level, you know, the same Court which gave America the egregiously repugnant Hobby Lobby ruling, which paved the way for your Freedom of Religion fundamentalist extremist religious tyranny crusade on America.

Article III of the U.S. Constitution :

http://constitutionality.us/USConstitution.html#art3

]Section 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; — to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; — to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; — to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; — to Controversies between two or more States; — between a State and Citizens of another State; — between Citizens of different States; — between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

Which leads us to the “Supremacy Clause” of the U.S. Constitution:

ARTICLE VI

Clause 2 :This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwith-standing.

In case you did not know, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Marriage Equality, re.: same sex marriage, is legal in ALL states in America. All means each and every state for you and your doofus Borg army. Meaning, even if a given state, such as Kentucky, for example, does not have a same sex marriage is legal law, it is still legal and ruled to be Constitutional. Just because 75% of Kentucky’s inbred, chromosome deficient population voted against it. That is called mob rule. Sorry, Savonarola, the Constitution trumps Sharia law.

So, the Supreme Court established marriage equality as a constitutional right.

Which leads us to the specific Federal statues which our lovely, dear Mrs. Constitution Krusher Kim Davis has violated.

The legal term for this act is called: “Deprivation of rights under color of law”

Just sayin’ that must make you, Mullah Dingleberry, puke on your Holy Bible of Bamboozlement.

So, class, here are the Federal statutes:

18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law

[link:https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242|https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242

]“Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.”

Further, in 42 U.S.C. § 1983, (known as Section 1983) provides civil rights liability for deprivation of constitutional rights under color of the law:

http://www.constitution.org/brief/forsythe_42-1983.htm

42 U.S.C. § 1983, commonly referred to as "section 1983" provides:

“Every person who under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, Suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.”

Thought you were real smart, eh, Mullah Dingleberry, with your pompous challenge. Maybe those voices in your head which you keep hearing were not from your God, but probably just the sound of drying fecal matter from having your head shoved so far up your self righteous, sanctimonious ass.

Message to all the fundamentalist religious extremist jihadists of America:

Yah, you have Freedom of Religion. It ends where every other American’s existence begins. Your repugnant claims that Restoration of Religious Freedom Acts entitle you and your religious thugs to control and manipulate American citizens’ existences and constitutional rights are the actual, factual, tangible acts of undue burden.

GRRRRR!!!!!
