Picture this.....

Franklin D Roosevelt in Obama's position.


He wouldn't take shit from those clowns, would expose the Tea Party with great precision, and rally American support to get government functional again.

Obama is a law school prepper that is in over his head. The debate champion can't govern his way out of a paper bag.

The Tea Party hates him, has lied about him, and has done everything in their power to make him fail. Yet.....he seeks a grand bargain.

You have to believe that the Robber Barons are directing his every move.

What a failed Presidency.

I would prefer a military coup than allow the 1% to own me.


Of course there is the real danger that the military is completely owned by the Robber Barons as well. Perhaps the Generals and Admirals are as heavily infiltrated/influenced as Congress is, but perhaps they are not. One thing we know for sure. Congress is definitely a group of 1% puppets.

Regardless, we are too far down the road for FDR's vision to ever happen in our lifetime. The dreadful changes have been too many and too drastic to overcome. Our Democracy's eventual demise is within clear view now. We will eventually be forced to pick a side.

If I have to be ruled by dictators, I would just as soon they be dictators that had to earn their position instead a of dictator that inherited his position from daddy. At least there would be a more sane structure to it all.

I know what some of you are thinking. Oppressed is oppressed regardless of who is doing it. I'm just stating my preference for who will eventually own me. I'm sure the early African American slaves had preferences as well.

If the time comes, I'm backing the military. You never know. They could potentially have the best of intentions. They could reassure us (like Egypt's military did to their people) and take temporary control until true Democracy is restored.

The more I think about it, the more I believe it is the only way that true Democracy could ever be restored. Otherwise, we ride the slippery slope to the 1700's again. The only current difference is that we have foreigners "pick cotton" in their country instead of ours. Multiple work related deaths is simply the cost of doing business. Really, it isn't that big of a jump to just bring them over here again. Cheaper logistics. These "work permits" are the first step. It is the natural evolution of things. Small incremental changes over time.

I never felt this way until President Obama and Democratic Party recently gave me the feeling that I'm actually living the book "Animal Farm."

Twelve years at the same job and facing impending layoff due to sequester.

Many coworkers blaming President Obama and much of it is racially motivated. Fox talking points used so frequently that I feel I am watching an episode of Hannity. Group mentality that uses O' Reilly methods to debate. Refuse to listen, speak louder and louder to drown out dissenting opinion,


They don't begin to understand what has happened to us. No clue about the Koch Brothers, Tea Party extremism, Walker in Wisconsin, the debt ceiling held as hostage, the "Super Committee", chained CPI, Bush tax cuts of 2001.....the endless list of events that DUers are aware of.


They don't want to hear and they don't want to know. They live in the bubble universe that gave us alternate presidential polls to Nate Silver. The Fox universe. This is all they know and all they trust.

The vast majority of my coworkers identify this job loss to President Obama. "Obama's tax and spend policy has taken our jobs."

They all pay union dues to the United Steelworkers. We currently work under an expired labor agreement and the "take it or leave it" proposal demands 5% cut in pay, loss of pension, mandatory overtime, increase in health care deductible, and elimination of positions related to worker safety. This was what we were facing before the sequester shit hit the fan.

All of it....."Obama's fault"

This nation is truly fucked.

See ya in the unemployment line. Will be living off of my child's college fund.

Calling for a DU boycott: T-Heart Arena Quarter Horses

http://www.keprtv.com/news/local/Truck-owner-defends-his-inflammatory-sign-188403731.html

Armed, non union, under paid/privatized, Christian prayer leading, teachers.

Charter Schools backed up by police that arrest disobedient students and haul them to privatized juvenile detention centers. The more money to be made, the more loosely the definition of disobedient to become.

Children indoctrinated to a new normal of guns, "obedience", and creationism.

This is the Tea Party vision.

A system that may eventually emulate extreme schooling in Pakistan. The key is to bring in a new kind of "dumbed down" teacher incapable of independent thinking. You do that by reducing pay to create a less desirable occupation for college graduates. You do that by enforcing strict, defined doctrine and weeding out those that may object.

Brought to you by ALEC.

A movement to stop ALEC. Who is in?

Called out specifically by their name. A grass roots movement. I'm calling for it.

It starts with DU types spreading the word. Learn about them. Expose them. Publicize them. Who are the members? Can we fight with consumer activism? Can we negate their marketing with bad press? Can we expose their puppet politicians that can't deviate a single word from "model" legislation? Can we attach the ALEC label and make it stick as a political negative?

Not to be confused with just the labor movement to stop the erosion of our standard of living. ALEC, after all, is responsible for much, much more. For example, the "stand your ground" gun laws or the removal of our ability to litigate financial fraud through the state Attorney General. Their list of extremely damaging legislation goes on and on.


I'm not talking about the GOP or FOX news or the Tea Party. I'm talking about ALEC.

We have to specifically pinpoint this group and start a movement. A big movement.

Let's get this thing started!

Name the single greatest threat to our American Way of life.

I'll start:

Fox News

"Tea Party is here to stay and will never go away"

Says Tom Brokaw.


Perhaps......but their day in the sun was in 2010.

By the way, does the John Birch society still exist?

Maybe they morphed into a "new and improved" package called the Tea Party?

Regardless, there will always be an extreme right faction so in that regard, Brokaw is right. The Neo Cons, however, will once again need some fancy new packaging when the Tea Party becomes widely perceived as too extreme similar to how the John Birch society was in the 60s.

Listen up Brokaw. There are umpteen political parties out there that have never "gone away". Your statement would be much bolder if you had said, "The Tea Party will always be relevant".

They won't.

Prediction: Once again the Supreme Court chooses our President.


The rapidly evolving events in Ohio almost guarantee it.


The outcome to be in "limbo" for weeks until the legal aspects are sorted out and the Chief Justice writes his "opinion".

Florida all over again.

It's happening folks.

RedState: Climate Change Was A Lie

link


What must be done now is to award the email hacker with the next Nobel Peace Prize, revoke Al Gore’s, confiscate all the profits that have been made from furthering the lies and misdirections of the climate alarmists (including Michael Moore of course), shut down the UN’s Climate wing, and immediately dismantle and disrupt the EPA and the last 20 years of restrictions and regulations and blockades of access to American energy resources. Oh yeah-let’s burn the Cap & Trade bill and shutter the whole economy-destroying Ethanol nonsense while we’re at it.

Why you ask? Because it has finally come out that there has been no global warming since 1995 (it was much worse during Medieval times you see) and the now-shamed Professor at the heart of the original IPCC email scandal has finally been uncovered as a fraud. I can actually understand now why he once considered suicide…he knew this day of reckoning was coming.

The problem with saying “the science is settled” is that, sooner or later, someone else that truly believes in the never-ending pursuit of “science” is going to un-settle it with either new revelations or new discoveries. Unfortunately for Al Gore, we have come upon a newer, even more inconvenient truth; they lied.

Now we have to go about the business of cleaning up their mess.
