What's Going On?

Right Winger George W. is practically nationalizing the banking system. And not in a good way mind you, more like Mussolini and the Italian Fascists, it's a form of national corporatism. Johnny McC is calling Obama a socialist, which is hard to fathom given the previous sentence. And those of us who are average joes stuck in the middle are getting the shaft. Whose the highlight of the media campaign news? Joe the plumber. WTF? When you listen to Joe he is just some whack job libertarian. Though I quite honestly think some libertarian beliefs are right on, I still think we need some form of government to guarantee and run things like healthcare and education as well as Fire, Police and Military. I think the biggest problem in this country is capitalism itself, left alone to it's devices capitalism will eat it's young, drive more people to poverty and cause fear, pain and misery. The invisible hand is cruel and heartless and we as intelligent human beings must ask ourselves is this really the best we can do? Is a system that is based in greed and selfishness really going to work out for us in the long run? There has to be something better and for humans to be able to engineer incredible solutions to other problems it seems that impossible to believe that we cannot solve this one. Unless, of course, some very rich people and corporations are somehow preventing it. But that wouldn't be happening, right? heh.

Sarah Palin is really Dumb, and I don't think she is faking.

Palin leaves open option of war with Russia

study links oil prices to speculation.

It's been almost 30 days since last writing anything, but I had to comment on this. You mean the recent increase in oil prices was mainly due to investor speculation! The only comment I have is you don't fucking say! So let's hope our congress and administration DO SOMETHING!

Bush says Russia "invaded" Georgia

If you ask me it is pretty ballsy for a guy who "invaded" Iraq and still advocates the occupancy of that nation to accuse Russia of invading its former province. But then what he lacks in brains he makes up for in balls. He would probably view that as a compliment. But I certainly don't mean it that way. The man is the worst president in the history of the USA. I have never actively disliked a politician so much as I do George W. Bush. He needs impeachin. But I am repeating myself. Which would be why I don't publish as much as I use to. Every time I sit down to write I just get so pissed. I would like to write some things about how socialist ideals might actually solve some of our problems. But the headlines and W just make me froth at the mouth. Maybe, if Obama is elected, and God I hope so, I will calm down enough to write some other things that are more productive than just venting.

He Shot it up because of their 'Liberal' Views, Go figure.

And people wonder why we liberals consider todays 'conservatives' with such disdain. Check out the church shooting in Tennesee. Of course most of us Liberals realise that a conversative in the William F. Buckley vein would never do or condone something like this act. But today's conservatives are not like Mr. Buckley, they are like Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter or O'Reilly. People who are polemicists and simply advocate violence rhetorically or otherwise. When is the last time you heard of a liberal shooting up a church or something? Simply Unbelievable. And as an aside I don't care how well it's going in Iraq, George W. Bush is an Idiot and we shouldn't have been there in the first place.

James Dobson is an Idiot

How about this one folks? James Dobson, the christo-fascist, has a strange interpretation of the constitution. Here is a quote from Obama, "Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we go with James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's?" Now the way I understand this is that we cannot be forcing any ones religious beliefs on anyone else because we all have a constitutional right to believe and worship as we feel we should. But people like Jimmy D don't understand that basic idea behind 'freedom' or 'liberty', Dobson has accused Obama of wrongly equating Old Testament texts and dietary codes that no longer apply to Jesus' teachings in the New Testament. Now correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Jesus Jewish? Wouldn't those codes apply? In fact as I recall the dietary codes are not really referred to until the later books of the new testament. You see Dobby you can't have it both ways either the Bible is the literal word of God or it isn't. You can't pick and choose some parts over others can you? Is God that fickle? How about this quote, "Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to the lives of tiny babies? What he's trying to say here is unless everybody agrees, we have no right to fight for what we believe." Um, no, that wasn't what he was saying at all. And it appears you have no understanding of our republican form of democracy. Though I will agree it hasn't been very democratic lately. You're not required to conform your political efforts, but you are required to leave people alone if they are behaving in accordance with the law. Bonehead. And by the way the 14th amendment to the constitution guarantees constitutional protection to all people born or naturalized in the United States. Last time I took biology a fetus wasn't born yet and I daresay it can't be naturalized as a citizen. So technically it, a fetus, has no protection under the constitution. Now do I think we should prevent abortions, sure I do. But not by making it illegal. And I give that example to show just how some conservative right wing-nuts misunderstand both the Bible and the Constitution. I guess old Jimmy D was sleeping in civics class eh? Dummy.
