POST #500: Random Observations

| The Thrilling Adventures of TOILET MAN! ` |
-Anonymous posting, New York City Craigslist, 8/8/13
Well, I never!
FIVE HUNDRED PIECES IN SEVEN YEARS, TWO MONTHS, TWO WEEKS AND ONE DAY???
Is that a lot or not enough? I'm not too sure. I'm almost certain that Charles M. Blow, Paul Krugman and Gail Collins have each produced a far more voluminous output in that same frame of time. But it should be noted that I don't get paid for writing this stuff (or very little anyway). Think of me as the Mother Theresa of political writers.
Here is as sorry a collection as you're ever going to find of drunken ramblings that I have posted recently on assorted websites and blogs way out yonder in cyberspace or in various newspapers. Happy reading, fellow travelers!
`
`
`
One of the reasons - and it's the main reason - that America is in decline is because we long ago lost our thirst for knowledge. The people that run this place do not want the masses educated. They want them indoctrinated. In too many American schools, children are not being taught to think. They're being taught to memorize and recite. And if the half-witted right wing has its way, in ten years every public
school in this country will be offered up to the highest corporate
bidder. Keep voting with the Conservatives. You'll deserve everything that happens to you.
`
`
`
I have seen more-than-my-share of politicians in complete states of
denial - but the case of Anthony Weiner is beyond the realm of pathos.
That anyone could throw one career away (and sabotage the possibility of
a second one) is too sad for words. Initially my reaction to his mayoral candidacy was, okay, he made a
mistake, but there are indeed second acts in American life. Let him have
another go at it.
It's all over. The man just simply lacks good judgement. We wouldn't accept this kind of behavior from a fifteen-year-old of below average intelligence. Why should we accept it in a man who wants to be the mayor of one of the most important cities in the world?
It's all over. The man just simply lacks good judgement. We wouldn't accept this kind of behavior from a fifteen-year-old of below average intelligence. Why should we accept it in a man who wants to be the mayor of one of the most important cities in the world?
Legendary mayor Fiorello LaGuardia once said, "I don't often make a mistake but when I do, it's a beaut." Mike Bloomberg, Rudy Giuliani, David Dinkens, Ed Koch, Abe Beame, John Lindsay, Robert Wagner, LaGuardia - all of these New York mayors were capable at times of bad judgement. None of them made a career of it. It's time for Anthony Weiner to quietly fold up the tent and go home. He will still be able to have a very happy life - just not as a public servant. Goodbye and good luck to you, Mr. Weiner. It's been real....sort of.
Are voters in other countries as pathetically ill-informed as we Americans seem to be on our best days? Every poll conducted says loudly that they are not. This must be a reflection of the quality of leaders we keep sending to Washington - particularly in the South.
Maybe the truth will sink in. Recently It has been looking as if the people of this diseased nation are starting to wake up. Even Mitch McConnell's tenure as the slime of the senate appears to be in serious jeopardy. We can only hope.
Keep your fingers crossed and your hands folded.
4. A Long Overdue Reality Check
"The point, however, is that modern conservatism has moved so far to the right that it no longer has room for even small concessions to reality."
`
-Paul Krugman, from the New York Times, 12 August 2013
`
Indeed. Words that should be etched at he foot of Mount Rushmore, Mr. Paul. This is a party that has lost its mind. These are people who should not be handling sharp objects. Assisted living would probably be a tidy solution to what psychologically ails them.
`
The good news is that the GOP is about to disappear forever. In just a few short years they will be consigned to the trash heap of history where they rightfully belong. They might survive for a number of years in congress, state houses and town and city halls here and there - but none of them will never again be sent to the executive mansion. George W. Bush will be the last Republican president. There will never be another one. Mark my words, campers. Mark my words.
5. Facebook Follies 2013:
Recently, a local columnist 'round these here parts named Barry Lewis wrote a piece bemoaning the triviality of Facebook. While he made a lot of excellent points, I couldn't help thinking that maybe he's been cultivating the wrong kind of friends.
When I first got on Facebook a few years ago, I had to be dragged into it kicking and screaming. I thought it was pretty trivial, too. Unfortunately, a lot of people from my past (particularly those I went to high school with) were trying to get in touch with me — and would only do so through Facebook. In the ensuing years, I found that the site is an excellent forum for getting the message out there — in my case, a progressive political message.
I have since been able to make nearly 4,000 "friends," most of whom are trying — bit by bit — to change America for (we humbly believe) the better. You won't find cute little videos of Tabby or Muffy trying to flush the toilet on my Facebook page.
6.. Waiting for the End of the World
On September 11, 2001, when it became obvious that what was happening was an organized
attack, my first thought was the nuclear power plant closest to me (I'll
refrain from even naming it). I thought that if they hit that we'd all be up the proverbial creek without the very real paddle. The idea passed the terrorists by. Thank Heaven for these tiny little blessings, ay?And now we are told that three-hundred tons of contaminated water from the disabled Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is leaking into the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis. Sweet.
It's only a matter of time before another major catastrophe occurs, folks. We're fucking bonkers to keep the nuclear power industry going. Can I get a witness?

From the mouths of babes....Life is good. When I was her age, I know as a fact that I wasn't even one/tenth as smart as she is. Today, however, I am happy to be able to say that I am one/tenth as smart as Rachel Parent.
Here is a link to Rachel's Facebook page:

Pop in sometime and give the little gal a "Like". This may very well be the first time you've heard the name of Rachel Parent. It won't be the last, I guarantee it. Cheers!
SPECIAL THANKS:
To sister Susanne for taking the photo at the top of the piece today, and to nephew Pete Dermigny for adding the text for me. Ain't that a scream?
SUGGESTED VIEWING:
In 1967 the Walt Disney film company released a film called, "The Happiest Millionaire". I saw it when it came out. The only thing I can clearly remember about the film is this segment, a song sung by Dean Jones called "Detroit". Here is a recording from the soundtrack - with a new and ominous illustration:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5lamUHyzu8
"Japan will dramatically raise its warning about the severity of a toxic radioactive water leak at the Fukushima nuclear plant, its nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday, its most serious action since the plant was destroyed in 2011. The deepening crisis at the Fukushima plant will be upgraded from a level 1 "anomaly" to a level three "serious incident" on an international scale for radiological releases, a spokesman for Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said. That will mark the first time Japan has issued a warning on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) since the three reactor meltdowns."
Like I said, "Fucking Bonkers". Don't expect regular updates from the so-called "Liberal" media.

Looking forward to 500 more.
Thank you. Leslie. We'll all have a party when I reach one-thousand - God willing.
Congrats on the milestone! Keep on keepin' on.
Rachel gives us old geezers a ray of hope for our young ones. Today's kids are less racist and xenophobic as any generation. And they are witnesses to the radical Right's unraveling of civilization. Real hope and change is to be found in them.

Words of wisdom from Amerika's smartest prison guard!
Tom,
All snarking and joking aside, congratulations on reaching the outstanding 500 milestone!
May you never develop Carpel Tunnel, may your fingers never waste away with arthritis, may your vision never dim and may your mind never go to waste.
Have you given any thought of how you are going to respond to the invitation from HMS to interface with his blog?
Here's to another 500 from you Tom, Cheers!
OBSERVATION OF A DELUSIONAL LIBERAL HYPOCRITE:
"Matt Damon, the most outspoken celebrity supporter of public schools and teachers unions, is moving to Los Angeles and enrolling his four children in private schools.
Damon told Britain's The Guardian, which broke the Edward Snowden/NSA story (apparently, American journalism has been outsourced overseas), "Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big deal. And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don't have a choice."
Actually, he has money and can send his kids to school anywhere, so he does have a choice. Damon wants to deny the rest of America school choice by opposing the voucher system."
Matt Damon is yet another delusional liberal hypocrite with his head stuffed up his ass regarding Amerika's biggest monopoly the public school system, whose public employee unions have corrupted it beyond repair!
"Words of wisdom from Amerika's smartest prison guard!"
Do I detect the presence of Ms. Prissy?
Thank you very much for the kind words, Chuck. What a long, strange trip it's been!
Tom
And if the half-witted right wing has its way, in ten years every public school in this country will be offered up to the highest corporate bidder.
Exactly!
Just what "Smokey Chuck" hopes for.
He wants the mammonites to have one-party rule over a dittohead indoctrinated cult. As is true for any cult, public education, journalism and democracy are all targets of the radical Right.
And to the brainwashed cultists, anyone who disagrees is a Marxist commie, as exemplified by the wacked-out accusations by the troll here.
Congrats on the milestone! Enjoy your posts.
I would say that you are, in my opinion, being a little too hopeful on the demise of the current Republican party. Sure, all of their policies are incredibly unpopular and they are unwilling to change them.
But this is a party that has previously lied, cheated, stolen - even committed treason and certainly election fraud - to make it to the Oval Office.
It is pretty clear that limiting the ability of people to vote is their new preferred method to attain power. Write them off at your peril!
2 parties, same agenda, get a life, grow up, you're under hypnosis, republicans vs Democrats is THEATER, like pro wrestling, do you understand most Americans don't buy the storyline anymore? You're stuck in the past, it don't work, you're like the Hannity for the left, nobody listens to Hannity, nobody listens to "D" cheerleaders, get a LIFE
Mich,
The most popular man in the park is the one who throws crumbs to the pigeons. This is how Obama was re-elected.
Would you name one Obama promise and policy that has reduced the number of Americans who rely on "crumbs" from the Federal Govt?
I hope for your sake the Republican Party and conservationism both go "out of business". When that happens, who will the left blame for their failed policy's? I hope for the country's sake that never happens.
Largely agree with Anon 11:51.
Although, I'd caveat to say that 90% of Americans don't understand, nor care to understand, the actual storyline. That wold take common sense, virtue, wisdom and courage - we left those behind long ago.
Tattoos and iPhones are enough today as it turns out.
Anonymous, back in March I was interviewed by the UK website "Carnage Report". The interviewer, Alex Clark, asked me if I saw the need for a third party. Here was my answer:
"I think that a third party is a grand idea. But what I would love to see even more than that is the utter destruction of the Democratic and Republican parties. The Democrats have been thoroughly corrupted and the Republicans completely so. In fact, it would be a misnomer to refer to the GOP as a "political party" so to speak. They've devolved into an organized criminal enterprise. There are some Democrats whose hearts are in the right place - Sherrod Brown of Ohio comes to mind - and a few others. But for the most part I've given up on them."
I am under no illusions, I promise. Destroy one party at a time, that's my motto.
Cheers!
Tom
Just because D's and R's are 90% in service to Big Money, does not mean there's no difference. Check out court appointments and voter restriction laws, and then tell me they're the same. One party is clearly working harder to suppress democracy.
At least one Democrat a few years back had the nerve to say what needed to be said.
"The banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis, that many of the banks created, are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place." – Senator Dick Durbin
And this is the Senate with the Democratic majority. Over in the House run by the Guardians Of Plutocracy we have:
Citigroup drafted most of a House bill that would allow banks to engage in risky trades backed by a potential taxpayer-funded bailout.
Banks’ Lobbyists Help in Drafting Financial Bills
In a sign of Wall Street’s resurgent influence in Washington, Citigroup’s recommendations were reflected in more than 70 lines of the House committee’s 85-line bill. Two crucial paragraphs, prepared by Citigroup in conjunction with other Wall Street banks, were copied nearly word for word. (Lawmakers changed two words to make them plural.)
Way to go, Puppets of Wall Street. We know who you really represent. We know who really owns the Senate and especially the GOP ruled House.
“Good conservatives” are serving the winning side. Their Servants of Mammon are winning their war on American workers.
Too bad "good liberals" are also held hostage by much of the Democratic Party's "Republican-Lite" subservience to Wall Street.
The only hope for what's left of our democracy will be removing the corruption of corporate "free speech" money from elections. Political free speech is for we the people and the press. The Constitution doesn't allow for corporate rights being equal or superior to individual rights.
Eminent Domain is bad enough. Corporate owned politicians are taking even more power away from the people.
All we need are enough politicians more concerned for democracy than their own power and wealth. (As if that could happen.)
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Tom,
Congratulations on 500 posts. You are a source of reflection, knowledge, and inspiration.
A couple of thoughts:
Carlos Danger or Anthony Weiner: I'm really saddened that this now obvious ego-maniac has imploded. Prior to the original scandal, Weiner seemed to have a grasp of working class issues, and could stand toe-to-toe with the nitwits of the Tea Party or GOP. His continued campaign is an embarrassment.
What's next for Tom: Have you ever considered a YouTube channel for your blog?
I've noticed that you rarely seem to share an opinion on foreign policy or world events, why is that?
Lastly, at 500 posts, the world wants to know: Boxers or briefs Tom?

WHERE IS THE LIBERAL OUT RAGE, WHERE IS THE REV SHARPTON?
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE? If that call starts in the white "community" will that be call racism?
Let me start here, in regards to black on white crime, no justice, no peace!
Herald Sun:
THE images of three youths police say murdered Melbourne baseballer Christopher Lane have emerged.
The Oklahoma teens who face first-degree murder charges have been named as Chancey Luna, James Edwards and Michael Jones.
But their parents yesterday protested their innocence.
Jennifer Luna, whose son is suspected of firing the fatal shot, claimed her son was at home saying: “My son is not that way. My son is a good kid.”
It comes as Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford said he had secured the confession of the 17-year-old who summoned investigators to his jail cell and claimed he and the younger boys were bored “so they decided to kill somebody”.
Anyone know where I can get t-shirts silk screened with the white Australian racist face on the front and a bulls eye on the back with the words in blood red,
'NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE'?
Just asking.
More Hate Crime, hope our DOJ doesn't waste any time getting involved.
A young white male was walking to his car on a city street late at night on August 12 when he was confronted by a trio of black individuals. They shot him dead. Police have arrested three people and charged them with first degree murder. But some in the victim’s family can’t understand why the shooting is being called a failed robbery when they say the evidence suggests something possibly more sinister: a hate crime.
David Santucci, 27, had just started his new job as a nurse. According to his family, “he was an awesome guy…he wanted to be a missionary…he wanted to help people.”
The murder happened in Memphis, TN less than two weeks ago. Santucci was killed by a single 9mm shot through his heart. To its credit, the Memphis police department apprehended the suspects in less than fifteen minutes. Various reports say that all three suspects made statements that implicated them in Santucci’s murder. And they’re calling it a robbery gone wrong.
In addition to the fact that Santucci was still in possession of his phone and wallet, Miguel says witnesses told police that the car drove past David, stopped and backed up. One of the suspects (Mario Patterson) got out of the car and walked toward Santucci, fired a shot and ran back to the car, jumping into the driver’s seat and speeding off. Miguel also says the police told him that the 9mm shell casing was found 10 feet from the body — an indication to him that the shooter was not at close range as would typically happen with a robbery.
WHat Anonymous doesn't get is that the ourage was not because Zimmerman was White and Martin was Black. It was because originally, Zimmerman wasn't even CHARGED with a crime, and THEN when he did get charged a jury let him walk. ALL the examples Anonymous brings up, the perps were arrested and CHARGED with murder and we all know they will be convicted. Motive is irrelevent. THAT is the difference.
"Motive is irrelevent"
Exactly, Mozart. Glad that we agree that hate crime laws are wrong-minded.
Do you feel the Lane case and the Martin case are categorically the same?
On April 18, 1983, Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. Sixty-three people were killed, including 17 Americans, eight of whom worked for the CIA.
Don't blame Reagan. Better blame Obama.
Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!
Motive is irrelevent.?
That's a new leaf, I have watch liberals take the position that motive is the sole reason to excuse or accuse a persons actions.
It's move the prime driving force behind being able to accuse someone of "Hate Crime", the magic the State declares it has, in order to determine the inner motive of the accused? So motive is very relevant according the laws currently on the books.
Zimmerman was charged with a crime! I seem to recall there was a trial about the charges against him. And the jury let him walk because the STATE that arrested and charged him could not prove his guilt. Now are you claiming the problem is Zimmerman or the prosecution of the case by the STATE?
I felt that the State screwed up the case against OJ Simpson, he murdered TWO people, both who were white. Wouldn't that take the appearance of a hate crime, as there was no theft motive in the murders. Wouldn't a race neutral person (a liberal of course because they never judge a person by their race) say, the only reason Simpson murder the two people was because of the common denominator, IE their race?
Tom Wolfe wrote an essay in 1970 titled "Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flack Catchers".
If you haven't read it or not lately, I recommend you read it again. I believe what happened to Zimmerman and Simpson is outlined darn well in these books. I believe it exposes the race relationship based on fear completely. Surely a good liberal like yourself is open to ideas that might cause you to question your understanding and belief.
So lets see, in last two weeks we have White men being murdered by Blacks due to their race. During that same period of time, how many Blacks have been murdered by Whites?
Hate to upset you further Mozart, but if you haven't read this weeks Time magazine, you are going to be really PO when you do.
CHris, Zimmerman was not charged until public outrage FORCED the cops to go get him. Originally he was sent home. The OJ case had a lot of elements never entered into the trial, such as Ron Goldman being a coke dealer who owed A LOT of money to some very bad people, and the fact that Furhman was a racist who became infatuated with Nicole when called in an earlier domestic violence call. Did OJ do it? Who knows, but he lost everything because the entire country thought he did. As for Blacks murdering Whites, how many were let go the day of the crime and how many aquitted at trial? As for how many Black men murdered by Whites, how many Black soldiers fought in Iraq, a war started by WHITE men to make money?
Oh Chris, how many Black prisoners get the death penalty in Texas?
Mozart,
Only the ones convicted for committing a crime in Texas that calls for the death penalty, that's how many!
My advise to any criminal of any race in Texas, if your cant afford the punishment don't do the crime.
Are you saying that the reason blacks are killing whites at the current rate nation wide, is because in Texas they there are so many convected Black men on death row? Why that sounds like a hate crime to me!
Hope you read the link to Time I provided you, Time is not exactly thought of as a MEGA Conservative Corporation publication, and the writer of the article is a Black man.
Here is another black on white murder, but the white got what was coming to him because of the number of Black men on Texas death row and because Zimmerman was not convected, it is justified, right Mozart, that's what you are saying, that's your liberal justification for blacks murdering whites?
SPOKANE, Wash
WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.

Photos of homicide suspects
Belton, 89, died from the injuries he suffered in the beating Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.
Witnesses say Belton was in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge at 6410 N. Lidgerwood, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, around 8 p.m. Wednesday when the two male suspects attacked him as he was about to head inside to play pool.
Police responded with K-9s to track the suspects' scent but were not able to locate them.
"It does appear random. He was in the parking lot, it appears he was assaulted in the parking lot and there was no indication that he would have known these people prior to the assault," Spokane Police Major Crimes Detective Lieutenant Mark Griffiths said.
Belton died from his injuries Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.
"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years. Belton's wife passed away several years ago.
He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.
Shorty was Ted Denison's best friend of 23 years; the two played pool occasionally and worked on cars daily.
"He was always there for me when I needed him," Denison said. "We'd joke back and forth. We were always having fun, some sort of fun."
He was the kind of nice old man who'd become your friend in minutes.
"Probably every time I come into town, he'd have a project for me to do," Denison said. "I thought of him more as a dad than I did a friend really."
Now, with the suspects still at large and the Spokane Police Department working to track them down, Shorty's friends are hoping for justice.
"I don't understand how somebody could do this. I really don't," Denison said.
Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old. One suspect was described as heavy set and wearing all black clothing. The other was described as being about 6 feet tall and 150 pounds. There was no description of what clothing the second suspect was wearing other than a silk do-rag.
Police investigating the deadly attack on Belton have also obtained surveillance footage from the scene.
Check out the comments on the link Mozart, it' ok to read what other people think.
And my tax dollars are paying this black racist's wages!
Hey Mozart finished reading Tom Wolfe's "Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flack Catchers"?
"We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the future.” [Barack Obama at Tucson shooting Memorial Service]
“We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.” [Barack Obama on acquittal of George Zimmerman]
Barack Obama doesn’t give a damn about violence. Truth be told, his political agenda depends on violence. The more divided and fearful the American People are, the better for Liberalism. And Liberalism is all that matters to Obama.
Liberalism does not advance its aims through reasoned articulation. Liberalism advances its agenda through fear and division.
Amen!
And to support the post above we have this:
One of the two students removed from Oberlin College earlier this year for allegedly circulating virulently racist, anti-Jewish and anti-gay messages around campus is an ardent leftist and committed supporter of President Barack Obama, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
Dylan Bleier, one of the two students, organized a voter registration drive on behalf of Obama before the 2008 election. That voter drive is still listed on the website for Organizing for Action, the non-profit group whose mission is to advance Obama’s agenda.
The Oberlin Police Department identified Bleier and his partner in the spree, Matt Alden, as two of the principal architects of a month-long spate of racist, anti-Jewish and anti-gay messages at the small, private campus.
The above is an example of the truth of this statement:
Liberalism does not advance its aims through reasoned articulation. Liberalism advances its agenda through fear and division.
Ayo, Mozart has never heard of it. Interesting that you have.
Mozart,,
Challenge yourself to read Tom Wolfe's book listed.
How did you like my website? Pretty cool huh? I get a pay check from the federal govt(your tax dollars at work!) and at the same time I have a web site calling for a race war.
How coll can you get, a govt employed black radical promoting the racial murder of whites.
But trust me Mozart, I am not promoting a hate crime, its all about motive, and I just hate white people and did you see that I hate gays of any race?
Got to go now Mozart, you really read to read Wolfe's book and check out my website.
Good for you dude.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/newsom.asp
Wow, even Snopes reports on it, the Democrats are responsible in part for this kind of violence.
Ha Ha, the demise of the Republican Party, is tom degan going to post his hate for pro-lifers like Gov. Scott Walker and his cousin cunts not from wisconsin taking their shits there, Tom Degan just stands for racism.
For the asshole who talked about the "demise of the Republican party", looks like Republicans control House, Senate and Governorships in over half the states.
But who expect dumbocrats to know shit.
Just the facts and Tom Degan are in part responsible for the Democrat party's incitement of racial violence and the deaths of innocents.
They can put a sock on it.
And this is besides supporting perverted sex and baby killing.
You want facts, Black on White violence is 30 times greater than White on Black violence, that's just the facts,
Figured, Mozart1200 is a party to murder supporting the racism of the Democrat party.
Man, what an excuse, these people have a right to kill because blacks volunteer for the army and served in Iraq or something. Mozart1200 is a joke.
Dumbocrats destroyed Detroit, baby killing party stay out of Wisconsin.
"Liberalism does not advance its aims through reasoned articulation. Liberalism advances its agenda through fear and division."
Now this is the kind of right wing, tea party, racist information we on the left can not afford the the masses realize.
Keep up the good work Mozart and JTF in your efforts to blind the people from the truth by blaming anything right of center as the real problem.
You are true heroes of the State!
Yeah,
Democrat party of hate, party of the Klan, the Dumbocrats. The party of racism, homosexuality, abortion, the party of death.
But who expect dumbocrats to know shit.
Alinsky! Alinsky! Benghazi! Benghazi! Death Panels! Death Panels!
Liberals are evil commies for supporting the Constitution, and wanting expanded voter rights instead of restricting voter rights.
They all hate America, what with their evil Marxist Constitutional taxes and regulation of commerce. Oh, and that evil Marxist Constitutional "promote the general welfare" part.
All they want are death panels! And Brown people taking MY stuff!
Arrrgghh!
Liberals hate America!
Liberals are commies!
You are true heroes of the State!
We want Wall Street banks to write laws and regulations.
We want a one-party dictatorship by the GOP, Party of Mammon!
Only evil liberal commies disagree.
===
Yeah, that was my post above.
Watch what happens, the left will call the posting of the truth behind black on white crime as racist.
Amazing.
Quite simply stated liberals are only concerned when the crime is white on black.
Yes, this proves only liberals are racists.
And Beck says Obama is a racist, so it must be true.
And liberals hate America!
Liberals are commies!
You are true heroes of the State!
Name one law passed, or offered, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Making it easier to get welfare & unemployment benefits is not an example. Pushing for immigration an amnesty for illegal isn't one, it only adds labor to the job market were there is again over 8% unemployment and housing statics have once again tanked are not examples. Raising taxes of those incomes above the poverty level will not work. Spreading the wealth around hasn't reduced the unemployment rates, so that also hasn't worked. Have the thousands of Green Energy promised jobs impacted the unemployment rates for black men? Has the millions of tax dollars spent on new Green Energy source helped?
Has bailing out G.M and Chrysler (A.K.A. Fiat) reduced the unemployment rate of black males? Has the Presidents Healthcare plan reduced the unemployment rates for black males? Has supporting Gay rights helped? Has gett5ing our of the Bush started Wars helped?
Why hasn't something been done? Why has nothing that has been done worked
Could it be that if actions were taken to reduce black unemployment and to get the private sector hiring and growing again, the pool of victims that liberals need to get into power with would be reduced?
Is it odd that claims that Conservative's are focused only on;
"Alinsky! Alinsky! Benghazi! Benghazi! Death Panels! Death Panels" comes from a Liberal poster under a different name? Isn't it strange that putting the focus on the current State of the African Americans causes that attempted ridicule?
Why?
Just asking, cant wait till I read the answers. Hope you are sober when you provide then and focus on the real issue at hand.
P.S.
In advance I am telling JTF I don't care what he calls me or what he says about me, nothing he has ever posted has solved the problems African Americans face under this president .
the pool of victims that liberals need to get into power with would be reduced?
Yes! That's the "great liberal conspiracy"! They want to create victims in order to take power, then give our stuff to lazy black/brown people. This is why we real Americans need to suppress the black/brown vote.
This is also why us good Americans are blocking Obama the Marxist Muslim's jobs bills and filibustering everything that the commies try to do. Our priority was to make him a one term president, not jobs, for Pete's sake. Rich white guys already HAVE jobs.
Only more tax cuts for the rich and de-regulation of Wall Street can employ more blacks. Look at how great that worked out in September '08 when Bush fixed everything, only to have the Marxist Muslim ruin it all.
The only answer is one-party Republican rule. It worked great last time, didn't it?
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs! Thats my vision of Amerika!
We won't have social justice and Democracy in Amerika until the Koch Brothers and the Plutocracy are gone and we all are equally poor!
And Corporations are not people! But its OK for Amerika's biggest monopoly, the Teachers Union, to have money deducted from their pay to support Socialist candidates! I guess I have my head up my ass!
Dave W. You are so smart...and you are very funny...like a clown...yeah, or like a comedian or something.
You git em every time.
Come on
Anonymous Right Wing Nut Job, AKA Just the Facts, Dave Dubya, Jefferson's Guardian eta.
Try to focus and answer my questions. Don't hide behind the curtain of your posts as a Conservative, they too lame.
Just deal with the questions you were asked or find a comedy blog to try your jokes on.
"Try to focus and answer my questions. Don't hide behind the curtain of your posts as a Conservative, they too lame.
Just deal with the questions you were asked.."
I hear ya bro! Just what I been sayin' all along! Those loony libs NEVER answer any questions.
And you noticed that too! Why, I think you're just as smart as Dave W.!
Need more proof that liberals must have victims or there would be no need for them?
Do some reading on how Oberlin Manufactured the Hate-Crime Hoax of the Year!
Another example the truth behind the statement "Liberalism does not advance its aims through reasoned articulation. Liberalism advances its agenda through fear and division."
Good point No Justice, No Peace
My definition of a hate crime is when a white person does something bad against a person of color.
But when a person of color does something bad against a white person, it is social justice and should not be talked about in the media and on blogs.
I guess I just have my head stuffed way up my progressive colored ass!
Dave W
Thanks for coming out of the closet and admitting you are a hypocrite. Maybe Tom Degan will pull his head out of his *ss also!
Democrats have been doing this for decades, misdirecting the anger of the blacks toward the Republicans and whites, honing race-baiting to an art, while all the time those same blacks are still living in the same communities in the inner cities, suffering the same poverty, sending their kids to the same sub-standard schools, living in the midst of the same horrific crime, suffering from the same high unemployment rates. Maybe one day they'll get smart and begin to look beyond the message, to the messengers who keep them prisoners of their own allegiance to skin color alone, a slap in the face to the legacy of MLK, the man they claim to honor today.
liberals must have victims or there would be no need for them. Liberalism advances its agenda through fear and division.But when a person of color does something bad against a white person, it is social justice and should not be talked about in the media and on blogs.
Boy, oh, boy, we sure got them loony libs figured out for sure.
We prove they're all a bunch of Alinsky Marxists who hate America.
They sure are dumb too...as in "dumbocrats" LOL! That's a funny joke. Commie libs are never as clever as us real Americans.
Us cons are so much smarter than the Marxist America hater libs. We know more than their dumb evil Satanist Scientists, too. We know more about women and how they can't get pregnant after being raped. Even legitimately raped. So there!
That's cuz libs are so dumb!
And that's cuz we're Real Americans, and they are commies who hate America. They don't even know only liberals are racists. HA.
They don't even know ACORN stole two elections for Obama the Marxist Muslim who hates America.
Just wait until those dumb libs have to go in front of a death panel. HA.
And we know the rich know best and should have one-party rule. It's the American Dream.
Loony libs are so dumb. Ha.
Can I get an Amen, bros?
honing race-baiting to an art,
I hear ya bro!
The loony libs are mad cuz Rush says only liberals are racists, and Glenn says Obama is a racist with a deep seated hatred for white people.
Those looney commie libs are always race-baiting. You are so funny, like the Tea Party sign with Obama with the bone in his nose. HA.
Dumb race-baiting libs.
You got them pegged, good Anon.
You're real smart too.
Name one law passed, or offered, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Making it easier to get welfare & unemployment benefits is not an example. Pushing for immigration an amnesty for illegal isn't one, it only adds labor to the job market were there is again over 8% unemployment and housing statics have once again tanked are not examples. Raising taxes of those incomes above the poverty level will not work. Spreading the wealth around hasn't reduced the unemployment rates, so that also hasn't worked. Have the thousands of Green Energy promised jobs impacted the unemployment rates for black men? Has the millions of tax dollars spent on new Green Energy source helped?
Has bailing out G.M and Chrysler (A.K.A. Fiat) reduced the unemployment rate of black males? Has the Presidents Healthcare plan reduced the unemployment rates for black males? Has supporting Gay rights helped? Has gett5ing our of the Bush started Wars helped?
Why hasn't something been done? Why has nothing that has been done worked

In advance I am telling JTF I don't care what he calls me or what he says about me, nothing he has ever posted has solved the problems African Americans face under this president .
Obama introduced a jobs bill that was immediately blocked by Republicans. You know, that party of "Hell No", "one term" priority, and "Never compromise".
Where's the Republican jobs plan?
Yeah, tax breaks for the rich and more de-regulation of Wall Street.
So name one law passed, or offered, by Republicans, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Not much there either. Why?
Both parties are afraid of doing anything Wall Street opposes. They run the show. They're raking it in and see no need to pay American workers.
In case you missed it earlier:
At least one Democrat a few years back had the nerve to say what needed to be said.
"The banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis, that many of the banks created, are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place." – Senator Dick Durbin
And this is the Senate with the Democratic majority. Over in the House run by the Guardians Of Plutocracy we have:
Citigroup drafted most of a House bill that would allow banks to engage in risky trades backed by a potential taxpayer-funded bailout.
"Banks’ Lobbyists Help in Drafting Financial Bills"
In a sign of Wall Street’s resurgent influence in Washington, Citigroup’s recommendations were reflected in more than 70 lines of the House committee’s 85-line bill. Two crucial paragraphs, prepared by Citigroup in conjunction with other Wall Street banks, were copied nearly word for word. (Lawmakers changed two words to make them plural.)
Way to go, Puppets of Wall Street. We know who you really represent.
JTF,
Tell us what the Obama jobs bill was and how many African Americans would it have put back to work?
What was the number the Senate and House put on the Obama jobs bill? I'd like to read it on the Congressional record.
So the problem is not the Republicans but Wall Street? Didn't you just claim that it was Republicans who blocked Obama's jobs bill, now you claim it's Wall Street?
How would it benefit Wall Street to keep unemployment in Black Americans high? How does stopping the Obama's job bill make the bankers rich?
As Wall Street is about investing in business in order to get a positive return on your investment, how would blocking as you claim, help capitalism, with higher ROI?
You need to explain how this works to this dumb Conservative. Are you telling me that the more people on unemployment makes business grow? That Wall Street gets a better ROI by stunting the growth of the work force? That Wall Street and bankers who lend and invest money to company's for their growth, want high unemployment because by doing so, consumerism rates stay low and the business they lend money cant pay the money back?
Is that what you are trying to tell me?
That Wall Street and the bankers prosper when there is high unemployment which causes a decline in consumerism which causes company's to fail and that's the goal of these capitalist?
And you are saying by taxing higher there will be more money in the private sector, even though that's hard to believe since there is less money in the hands of consumers after you raise taxes?
Wow, teach me more of this new system of economics, please.
But first I'd like the Obama jobs bill number you claim was blocked by somebody for some reason. And tell me how if this bill (number unknown) were passed, how it would have reduced the unemployment rate in Black Americans?
Thank you.
CHuck finally said something truthful. He called himself a "dumb conservative". Of course, the "dumb" part is redundant, but that's nitpicking.
Mozart,
Didn't some one ask you to read a book by Tom Wolf?
How is that coming along?
BTW, maybe you can respond to what I've posted, you seem to be an expert on these kind of problems, fire away with a response that doesn't attack me, but deals with the problems presented.
You can do it, I know you can do it!
Democracy and Racism Explained:
A black kid asks his mother, "Mama, what's a Democracy and what is Racism?"
"Well son, Democracy is when white folks work every day so we can get all our benefits...you knows like free mobile phones for each family member, rent subsidy, food stamps, WIC, free healthcare, utility subsidy, and on and on..., you knows, that's Democracy."
"But Mama, don't the white people get pissed off about that?"
"Sure they do, that's called Racism".
Chuck. I answered one of your questions. You didn't answer mine. How many times has this been your patter?
Am I under arrest or cross examination?
It either goes two ways, or you're Just The Troll.
Since you're interested in black unemployment do you consider the fact racism still exists and may be factor? Or are only liberals and Obama the real racists? Which is it, oh wise and informed one who never answers questions.
Also you seem to believe Wall Street has nothing to do with the Bush Recession, that you want to blame on Obama. Is Wall Street that pure and virtuous, never thinking of their own accumulation of wealth? Did you even see the example given? You completely ignored a serious problem of Wall Street's influence on our government? Is that a good thing?
And since everyone here knows you don't like to answer any questions, how about responding to just one.
Just one.
The first one I asked reflecting your question about Obama. So name one law passed, or offered, by Republicans, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Well? Got an answer, or are you going to continue to be a troll?
"Also you seem to believe Wall Street has nothing to do with the Bush Recession, that you want to blame on Obama. Is Wall Street that pure and virtuous, never thinking of their own accumulation of wealth? Did you even see the example given? You completely ignored a serious problem of Wall Street's influence on our government? Is that a good thing?"
Dave Dubya, Have you completely ignored Bill Clinton, is that a good thing? LOL, keep your "Hope & Change" glasses on and keep blaming BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, BUSH.
http://www.thenation.com/article/161593/bill-clintons-legacy-denial
Does Bill Clinton still not grasp that the current economic crisis is in large measure his legacy? Obviously that’s the case, or he wouldn’t have had the temerity to write a fourteen-point memo for Newsweek on how to fix the economy that never once refers to the home mortgage collapse and other manifestations of Wall Street greed that he enabled as president.
Endorsing the Republican agenda of financial industry deregulation, reversing New Deal safeguards, President Clinton pursued policies that in the long run created more damage to the American economy than any other president since Herbert Hoover, whose tenure is linked to the Great Depression. Now, in his Newsweek piece, Clinton has the effrontery to once again revive his 1992 campaign mantra, “It’s the economy, stupid,” as the article’s title without any sense of irony, let alone accountability. But that has always been the man’s special gift—to rise above, and indeed benefit from, the messes he created.
Hey Dave Dubya,
The article on Bill Clinton's denial of the current economic crisis did not come from Faux News!
It came from that leading progressive site "The Nation".
Looks like crickets from Dave Dubya again, the leading Socratic Alinsky waffler in the blogosphere.
Just the Facts,
To say I don't answer your questions is a bold face LIE. Look at my posts of 2:58 and 7:36, and yours at 6:48. Your post has two questions of which both you answer yourself later in your post..That Being the Facts, what is there for me to answer?
Next day my post of 12:57 address yours of 6:48, again!
Before I spend a second of my time dealing with you, you need to get your alter ego you call Right Wing Nut Job under control!
I have provide you three clear posts which address the issues facing Black Americans unemployment today, and to date you have not addressed one.
There have been several Anonymous posts addressing the increase of black on white murder and crime, asking if black on white is a hate crime.
You have dodged that issue.
Is one to gather from your lack of response to the issues, you really don't care about either problem? Or you really can't.
You and your alter ego, have refused to even address these statistically supported posts. Instead you have tried to use ridicule and deflection to avoid the issues that have been laid at your feet. As a well educated liberal dealing with some "dumb conservatives", doesn't it bother you that you can not handle what you are being asked to deal with? With your massive brain power, honed to razor sharpness by the best liberal thinkers, that when sites and books are provided as sources, as good opened minded liberal, you would at least have the intellectual curiosity to looking to at them and see for your self if they are true?
My posts of 7:36 p.m. 2:58p.m. and 12:57 a.m. stand on their own merit and I am becoming more convinced that your not dealing with their content is a sign of your recognizing you can not do so in honestly and still be a liberal.
You are not Just the Facts, you are really "Just my Liberal Dogma". You're not Right Wing Nut Job, you are actually Ego Nut Job.
Just my Liberal Dogma,
I forgot something, yours stating
"So name one law passed, or offered, by Republicans". This only solidifies my belief further that you and your many egos, the best answer you can offer is the old grade school play ground method of, "your one too", debate.
Naaa,Naaa,Nanaa, Naaaa.
Chuckie, Show my question to you that you answered.
Like this:
Question:
Chuck: Name one law passed, or offered, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Answer:
JTF: Obama introduced a jobs bill that was immediately blocked by Republicans. You know, that party of "Hell No", "one term" priority, and "Never compromise".
Now pay attention.
I asked, "So name one law passed, or offered, by Republicans, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Well? Got an answer, or are you going to continue to be a troll?
Well, still no answer? Just more lies and cross examination questions?
What a Troll.
Oh I see. This was your answer:
Naaa,Naaa,Nanaa, Naaaa.
More double standards, hypocrisy, and childishness from those who don't get "turnabout is fair play".
Just can't handle that, can you?
Guess you got NOTHING to say...as usual...Troll.
"Chuck: Name one law passed, or offered, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?"
I got to chuckle on that one Chuckie. We progressives know that the War on Poverty started by LBJ has been the most expensive failure in US history. Rather than reduce poverty, we have created a culture of dependency so that blacks are still living in the same communities in the inner cities, suffering the same poverty, sending their kids to the same sub-standard schools, living in the midst of the same horrific crime, suffering from the same high unemployment rates. This war has been going on for over 50 years!
By throwing just enough crumbs to keep the dependent people content, we are guaranteed their vote! So why should we progressives give a flying fuck about the black unemployment rate!
Hey, Chuckie,
Is it compassion for unemployed blacks that motivates you to discuss their unemployment?
Since you're interested in black unemployment do you consider the fact racism still exists, and may be a factor?
Or are only liberals and Obama the real racists? Which is it, oh wise and informed one who never answers questions?
Come on Chuckie, add something instead of a string of numerous inane questions.
Like:
We all know cons think they're superior to women.
Have you stopped beating your wife yet, Chuckie? Why do you hate liberals, Chuckie? Are you better than us, too?
Of course you're better. YOU don't have to answer questions. Even the fair questions, something alien to you.
So, come on Chuckie, Obama offered a jobs bill that the "Hell No" and "never compromise" Republicans blocked.
That begs the following question, if you are so selfless and noble to be concerned about black unemployment.
So name one law passed, or offered, by Republicans, one policy put into place, one Presidential Executive order that has been issued, that has a positive effect on the unemployment rate of black males in America?
Well? Do you have an answer? Show us all what a "compassionate con-servative" you are. or are you going to continue to be a troll?
Well, still no answer?
What's the matter, cult got your tongue?
Arrogant Troll, indeed.
Chuckey,
I read a book by Tom Wolfe. "The Right Stuff". I have a copy of it right here, from my personal library. What would you like to know?
Ah, we can't omit "Harry from a Michigan Prison" and "Tyrone Witherspoon" from Chuckie Naa Naa's list of characters.
But remember, it's only liberals that are racists, doing all the race-baiting, right, Chuckie Naa Naa?
Right, Rush? Right, Glenn? Right, "Tyrone"? Right, "Harry"? Right, "Dave Dubya"? Right, "Friend of Shorty"? Right, "Anonymous"?
Of course, that's "Right". You all agree!
Oh yes... "Right" for one... is "Right" for all. It's the fascist way.
Come back, Chuckie Naa Naa. we need your answers to those questions. We need your authoritarian voice to dictate what we need to know.
Why keep it a secret?
Tell us how the con-servatives and their Republicans will help Black people get jobs.
That's your issue after all, "Right"?
Mozart
I never recommended you read a book by Tom Wolfe.
I applaud your reading "The Right Stuff". It is a great story of the greatness that American can reach of as a nation we have a leader who stands for something the entire populating can get behind.
Sorry I cant help you with the title(s) for the book(s) you are looking for.
Maybe someone else reading this can help you.
Hi Tom,
Am requesting to remove that silly "Detroit" link.
The city is coming back and almost solely from the bottom up. Visit sometime. Stay at the Inn on Ferry Street- walking distance to the DIA- where that tremendous treasure of art resides. Opera House, Tigers (Comerica Park) Community (omg)Organizations are doing great work. Please say nice things about the people and the energy happening here. thank you.
