Young and Old

This morning I heard something deeply troubling on MSNBC. Well, nothing to loose sleep over, at all. But saying minimally troubling doesn't exactly make the pitch, now do it? When it is something we should taking more seriously. As the report went, "Old people enjoy hearing that young people are suffering. And sort of vice versa, young people really don't want to hear anything about old people."

There is one thing at work here, and it's called; "Law of the jungle."
Times are VERY HARD, so all turn selfish. Old people are not beloved grand pa, and grand ma. They are now slow bastards in my way. And actually vice versa too, they aren't my grandkids, it's those lazy incompetent hooligans.

Why is this civilization falling a part?
It's your own apathy, that is to blame. Learn again to give, and you'll learn again to care. The quality of your character is exposed in your deeds. We all need to care more, both young and old, to what others are going through as well.

I'm not going to sound like a Tea Partiers on this; because MORAL roles are not business of the government, it's the roles of them that govern. God could not legislate morality (in THE Law), yet you think you can with a written law? You must recognize personal responsibility for what it is, A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

There are those using PEAR PRESSURE tactics to manipulate politics. It works. But it's immoral to make every mole hill into a mountain. And then by faith, cast that mountain into the sea. "God is not going to be fooled by a cheap trick, like that!" As a matter of fact it's a blasphemy to take the Lord's Name in Vain like that.

Caring about each other's American Dream takes courage, commitment, and most of all character.

Let's not re-litigate Bush?

... We should praise him, for a war that was BY CHOICE?
... For lies that led to the war?
WMD?
Bringing democracy?
It will pay for itself in oil?
If we fight them over there, we're safer over here?
Making us safer, somehow?
Ok, I see why you don't want to relitigate Bush, but why again do you want Obama to praise him?
Oh, and you owe us a trillion and half dollars for your folly, too. We'll work the payments any time you like.
What happens when all wars of aggression end? Who eat's crap, every time? You might want to dig in your sofa for some change, you owe us a lot of money for your folly.
I see why you don't want to relitigate Bush.

One thing to understand

Conservatives, continue to attack the bird in the mirror, calling that the LIBERAL Morons. Maybe out of fear that real liberals might respond? We actual liberals, are saying one thing back, over and over, like a bird in a cage; "Stop the hate!" You don't have to be angry about EVERYTHING, to be effective.

When we talk to you, we try to bring you some enlightenment- not to attack to your position on a issue, but to try and expand it, to see a wider picture, even understand it better ourselves- Which you instantly view as a WEAKNESS. Or partisan spin! KILL THE WIMPS!

First you decided to make war on illegal immigrants. Then somebody pointed that 2nd and 3rd generation Hispanics are legal citizens, and in many cases registered voters, and now the MAJORITY. Hmmm, who can we hate then? Gays, no we've beaten that one to death, who then? Muslims! It's black people that most represent Islam in America still, so attack ISLAM, before they attack you!

Oh please, STOP THE HATE!

When we work for the good of all America, we are no longer Liberals or Conservatives, we are all Americans first! Differences of opinion makes us stronger, and even better. But there are those who believe in the 24x7x365 perpetual campaign, who have polarized politics to a toxic level. Never realizing when it's time to roll up the sleeves and get the job done.

Stop the hate! How many more ways can it be said? Michael Bloomberg is now too liberal for you? You need a time-out! Stop the hate!

So that's how it's going to be!

WARNING AMERICAN VOTERS:
The Republicans want back into power desperately, and that's only natural, I don't hold that against them. Problem is that their economic theory has more holes than Swiss cheese. Tax Cuts do not create jobs, they had 8 full years to test that, and we lost 12,000,000 jobs in the process!!! And the government grew bigger and more incompetent than ever before.

The best bet for Republicans is to turn on George Bush. To say, the theory is right, but he did it wrong, and make it his failure, not the party failure. So then you have to pick something else to blame. Too many loop holes, lax regulators, lazy congress, something. None of which, do the Republicans want to blame, because then they would have to give up one or more of their ridiculous platforms, to make that argument. Not that any Republican has had a problem with Hypocrisy- it seem to roll of their backs like water off a duck.

Instead, Republicans at the State level are going to use another Bush Trick, just to say; How Great We ARE compared to Democrats at Balancing the Budget. But they're not, it's a political trick; Just hide things from the budget, that you are mandated to fund, but you feel there is no reason to itemized. Just like the Wars! Which Obama put back into the budget, so you know what they cost. By not doing so, you look GREAT on paper, even though you are completely broke. This is the Republican Plan to Govern the States, now.

While they run on a platform of being reformers, there is nothing to fix, that they didn't break! It's always the BIG UNION FAULT. Who is that, the kindergarten teachers, or the Nurses, the damn Janitors? How many Janitors are buying luxury yachts because of their lucrative contracts with the State? Come on, it's the guys selling asphalt to the state that are crooks (figuratively speaking), and you know it!!! This is why we Democrats can't understand why you would ever vote Republican? They always blame you, and never the greed of BIG BUSINESS. Why, because roads have to be paved every year!

(Side note: There is another trick where Billionaires qualify as small businesses- that is not the point today.)

The trouble with taking things off the books (hiding them), is that you loose transparency. Which in turn, invites even more corruption, and makes even more out of control spending! And that's the new Republican plan, so they can give even MORE TAX BREAKS to the rich (who don't need it)? So when are TAX BREAKS ever going to make a job, they never have so far? It's just CREAM on the top (of profits) for the Board of Directors and CEOs, which rarely even makes it to the common shareholders.

WARNING AMERICAN VOTERS; IT'S JUST A POLITICAL/BUDGET TRICK! (That will only make things worse- You can mark my words on that!) You need to send a signal alright, but don't regret your vote after November. As the party in power, we are well aware of how hard it is to stay there, because everyone wants instant rewards and turn around. I never tell anyone how to vote, but don't be fooled- the bankers giving your state credit rating wont be!

Bushed

I don't like to pick on W. I wouldn't do it, because it's easy- that is a thing called bullying. But something he said, recently made my jaw drop. Because there is no doubt, that he believes it, and doesn't understand it.

"Wars are stimulative to the economy." (Or something close to that.)

That's not true at all. Wars are rather destructive to your economy. Name one nation that didn't fall into recession after or near the end of a war? Go ahead, it's a home work assignment. Check and double check your facts.

Now it is true that the build up to war, is stimulative to the economy. Why? Government start investing in resources, and this gush of capital, washing (even trickles) down. But it's unsustainable. Sooner or later, governments have to sell tanks rather than buy tanks, to pay for the cost of the war.

It is ridiculous to believe that we need rage, to stimulate the economy. We need to make war on poverty, and ignorance, and intolerance. With Iraq and Afghanistan, we are investing a trillion dollars a year. Imagine a trillion dollar a year, AT HOME, spending program on social causes. Yeah, we would have three hundred pound bums living on the street covered in gold jewelry, eating buckets of mini cheese burgers, riding motorized chairs. You know, I'd rather see that than a dead 19 year old solder, who joined up for a cheap education.

You don't have to agree with this one, just think about it! It will draw some funny pictures in your mind.

The cost of hatred and war are unproductive. I'm not normally a pacifist, but we need 50 years of peace to pay for these Bush Stimulation Plans. Think about that when you raise the stars and stripes for our people in uniform today. Raise it proud and tall as you normally do, but understand the costs (in treasure/blood and YOUR dollars/cents)!

Strange, very strange

Isn't it funny that every other thing, that effects oil, causes and instant spike in the price of gasoline, except for Deep Water Horizon?

Energy costs, are what bankrupted the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! And they're still MAXED OUT. Go for $5 guys, and watch how many homes fall into foreclosure- I fucking dare you!

This magic thing, that is destroying all Gulf States isn't doing that? That's weird isn't it?

Funny, Catrina drove prices up overnight in California, which doesn't even get oil from the Gulf. It comes mostly from Alaska. But when BP broke the Alaskan Pipeline, and had to shut down that supply for months, California energy prices didn't change? When there was a shortage of gasoline in Arizona, California prices spiked again. In spite of the fact, that California Gasoline is a special blend that can not be sold anywhere else in the world (so they tell us)?

Are you feeling FUCKED YET, by big oil? It's not just BP- it's all those MFs! More than Real Estate scams, these are the MF's that broke the whole world economy. Now, their actually afraid to do it again- I wonder why? My oh my, I do wonder why?

Even though I made mention of Rachel Maddow correction in the prior posting, I've decided to include the clip of the show in this posting, even though it has nothing to do with this rant. You need to be educated, and this is something she does best:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy



There is a point that does apply to this rant here. Remember those GREEN LINES? "Those are oil pipelines". Under-sea, under ground, oil pipelines? How does a storm effect those, and for just how long? I still feel screwed!

I'll let you in on a secret

Here's were both [political] sides go wrong. They think you're an idiot! "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the public"- really? I'll bet they have! People are smart dude, very smart. You're not pulling one over on them. Recently, California Propositions 16 & 17, both meant to bamboozle the public into thinking they were reforms, went down in flames. This is not the first time this has happened, here! Because people aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are. Give them credit. They know how to use tools, and they're skeptical of all wild claims.

We just went through the worsted financial crisis since the Great Depression. What do you think the odds are that the American Public want to give OUR social security system over to the bankers and brokers now? And yet, they're still trying- because they think YOU'RE STUPID! Rebranding Privatized into Personalized, yet it means adding fees for brokers, just as it always did- WE'RE NOT STUPID!

Meg Witman has an uphill climb here in California, just trying to explain why she doesn't vote in elections (for 20 some odd years). "It wasn't the right thing to do, at the time!" is not going to wash. "I should have but I didn't." is not an answer, either. It's not a matter of her missing an election or two, it's about not caring enough to EVER PARTICIPATE! She thinks we're fools- which is a dumb move.

I have still have faith in you!

What I don't have faith in, is that Prayer will somehow magically stop a pressurized oil well from gushing into the Gulf. You're welcome to try all you want, but expect to be disappointed. Maybe you should be praying for the empowerment of your fellow man, to find solutions better, faster, and most of all, just as they HAD CLAIMED THEY HAD DONE!

Drilling is not the great evil, it's the leaking thing! We liberals didn't destroy an oil well, to make a stupid a point- once again, someone is underestimating the intelligence of people. Look we want people to get back to work as soon as possible, which means as soon as the oil companies prove it's SAFE! Proving SAFETY is NOT a function of the GOVERNMENT, it's the function of enterprise. You're not stupid, you know this, so don't be fooled by a cleaver football that's been thrown onto the field. Someone needs to do his job, and show that they're taking that job seriously- it's that simple!

Let me make this perfectly clear; Jesus doesn't own a mop, or a cork. Have faith that YOU CAN DO YOUR JOBS, better under his authority. He is not your servant- it is you, who is charged with taking care of the Earth. I wouldn't get in the practice of politically spinning God's will, if I were you.

Getting to the truth about Dill Baby Drill. The moratorium applies to just 36 33 brand new, unfinished deep water wells. Not to the hundreds thousands that are already dug, and in operation. These wells will resume being dug, as soon as somebody can PROVE they're safe, and that they're not going to end in disaster too. Did you know, it about 36 33 wells, when you jumped on that jobs bandwagon?

Under the BFD Report: Obama & Biden play golf, and Tony Heyward goes sailing. Are you kidding me, do you care even a bit? Not one of these 3 guys is critical to stopping the current crisis, and even if they are, we have CELLPHONES today! Nero, hand me that fiddle, and get me a slice of fancy French cake- oh please!

(I've been corrected by the Rachel Maddow Show. Once she checks her facts, I'm sure she's right about 33 wells, instead of my claim of 36. I thought I had heard that it was 36, someplace?)
