Am home from my gig tonight, and am ready for another one of my patented rants.
Obama's fault. Bush's fault. Obama's fault. Bush's fault..... Hold it!! Enough of this shit already!!
Actually, Obama DID inherit a hell of a problem, and it's not a problem
we can easily pull out of. When the stock market crashed in 1929, it
did not reach that level again until 1953. However, I believe that
Obama is doing a few things right, and is also doing a number of things
wrong. I am not going to listen to talking heads from either the right
or the left, but will do my best to think independently. Would Romney be
a better president than Obama. I honestly do not know, but I do know
something else. If Romney takes office in 2013, things are still not
going to right themselves. It will take pretty close to a generation for
that to happen, no matter who is in office. Americans right now have
way to short an attention span, and want it now. Problem is that it
isn't going to happen now, nor will it happen any time in the near
future. It is going to take many years.
In addition, this is
not Bush's recession alone. It was under Bill Clinton that laws were
changed that allowed this mess to happen in the first place, and it was
especially the gutting of the Glass-Steagal Act that armed the time bomb
that eventually went off. Democrats and Republicans are equally to
blame for this mess, but you wouldn't know it by looking at some of the
responses you see on "Talking Head Assholes TV". And the responses vary,
depending whether the asshole doing the talking supports the Republican
party or the Democratic party. Yes, I AM making an accusation here. I
am accusing Democrats and Republicans both of putting party ahead of
country. There is a word for that, and it's not "Patriotism".
"Douchebaggery" does come to mind. So, to the Network Douche Bags, I
have a short message for you:
Dear Douche Bag, Go fuck yourself!!
If you want
the truth, you can start by turning off your TV set, then taking a
sledge hammer to it. After that, it is only necessary that you open
your eyes and look.

So Who Shops at Wal-Mart?
I have a question for Liberals: Do you shop at Wal-Mart?
I will make a point.
1) I agree with you that billionaires don't create jobs. Consumer demand creates jobs. Economics 101. I understand that.
2) However, if you shop at Wal-Mart, which outsources jobs to China, then you are not practicing what you preach, because you are not helping to create jobs through consumer demand. If enough people refused to shop at a chain that helps to destroy jobs here in America, then we wouldn't be in the economic pickle we are in. But you have to practice what you preach.
3) While it is demand that creates jobs, where do you want to create them? Here in America, or there in China. While there is demand here, I see a lot of that demand being shipped THERE. and that is part of the problem. In America, we get what we deserve, but if you are willing to give it all away to China, then you deserve what you get.
4) If we all really put America first, we wouldn't be arguing over taxes at all. Taxes would be low, and unemployment would be less than 4%. There would be enough prosperity to go around, and there wouldn't be camps of Democrats and Republicans that are always at each others' throats.
5) But you have to act like an American for that to happen. That means buy American and not set your foot inside stores that don't give a shit about anything but profits, at whatever price has to be paid, whether it is in the blood of Chinese slaves or whether it is in money.
6) You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. If you are certain that it is demand and not billionaires that create jobs, then you have to put your money where your mouth is.
So who shops at Wal-Mart?

Do I miss George Bush?
From the Los Angeles Times:
WASHINGTON - In a rare public tribute to his predecessor, President Obama unveiled the formal White House portrait of George W. Bush on Thursday, praising his "strength and resolve" after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Obama recalled the sight of Bush standing atop the rubble at ground zero, "bullhorn in hand," conveying strength not only to the American people but, on behalf of the country, to the wider world.
Yes, it is nice to put politics aside, but we all know the real reason Obama is praising Bush. It's because Obama and Bush are much alike. It might have been Bush who began to break our Constitution, but it is Obama who is putting the final touches on that dastardly deed. Call Obama whatever you want. Some call Obama a Liberal, some call him a centrist, and a few crazies even call him a Kenyan who stole the office. But they are all way off the mark. Barack Obama is really George W. Bush on steroids. Bush might have gone to extremes to twist and mangle the Constitution, but Obama has taken it to new heights that Bush would never have imagined, not even in his wildest wet dreams. When Bush was in office, I often said that he represented all that was wrong with our government. Now that Obama has had a 4 year track record in that office, I can say with confidence that he has definitely outdone Bush when it comes to erosion of our civil liberties.
Remember the poster of George Bush that says "Miss me yet"? Oh yes, I remember it, and guess what? I do miss Bush, not because he stood for the Constitution, but only because he mangled it less than Obama has done.

Scott Walker's Impending Demise
From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
Gov. Scott Walker's campaign has transferred another $100,000 to the defense fund used to pay his pricey criminal defense lawyers in the lengthy John Doe investigation into activities during Walker's time as county executive.
Newly filed campaign reports show Walker's campaign transferred $70,000 to the Scott Walker Trust on May 3 and another $30,000 on May 17.
That bring the total the first-term governor has put in the defense fund to $160,000 in the past six weeks.
State law requires that the campaign get prior approval from donors before shifting their money to a legal-defense fund. Walker's campaign has declined to identify the contributors who OK'd the transfers.
And here is the key to knowing what's up with Walker in Wisconsin. According to Wisconsin law, a governor, or any other public servant in the state of Wisconsin, may have a legal defense fund if and ONLY if.
1) He has been charged with a crime.
OR
2) He is under investigation for a crime.
Any other use of a legal defense fund, such as the one Walker has set up for himself, would be a felony. So Walker can state all he wants that he is not under investigation for criminal activity. The mere existence of his defense fund says that he is lying, but if by chance he is telling the truth, then he has committed a serious crime nonetheless. Either way, he loses.
As I have said earlier, I still predict Walker to win his recall election, but I am now certain that Walker's career could very well end in a prison cell, just like Blago's career ended in Illinois.

Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians
OK, here is the deal. Republicans are like your pissed-off father when you were a kid. You better do what he tells you or you get an ass kicking. Democrats are like your doting mommy. Eat your vegetables or there will be consequences. Why? "Because I love you", she says. But you still gotta eat the damn vegetables, whether or not you want to. But Libertarians? Yea, that's the ticket. You can eat whatever the hell you want, stay out late at night, and even get drunk or stoned every day. Mommy and daddy says that's OK, as long as you don't screw over anybody else while doing it. Therefore, you don't have to eat your vegetables, and you don't get your ass kicked either. Of course, many homes have a Democrat mommy and a Republican daddy, and they are always telling you that the other one is wrong, and each wants your endorsement. What will it be? An ass kicking every day, or eating broccoli that you hate every day? And, to make matters worse, mommy and daddy even call each other bitch and son of a bitch, and make up shit about each other that they tell you. That's OK too. That's politics. And that is why I, more often than not, vote Libertarian. Thank you. LOL.
War, war, and more war
Let's see now, how many wars do we have going? We've got Iraq, Afganistan, the war on coal, the war on clean energy, the war on drugs, the war on women, the war on Christianity, the war on workers, the war on Christmas, the war on civil rights, the war on drilling, the war on Conservatism, the war on Liberalism, the war on consumers, the war on banksters, the war on the poor, the war on the rich, the war on the Tea Party, the war on Occupy Wall Street, the war on hunger, the war on drunk drivers, the war on fat people, the war on teenage loose women, the war on stupid TV programming, and a lot of other faux wars going on. Amidst all the reporting on all these wars (and many others), they left one war out, which is...... drum roll, please.....
....The war on common sense, which was started by Washington politicians of both parties many years ago. Damn, the Liberals like to complain about perpetual war, but they seem to have missed this one. What's up with that shit?
NOTE: This rant is part of my war on bullshit!! Thanx for listening, and if you didn't listen, or if you disagree with me, then damn it, let's go have a fucking war. I figure that if we can't beat all those warmongering assholes, then we might as well fucking join them. LOL.

A statement to apathetic Americans
http://www.americanselect.org/news/5-2012/release
Americans Elect has decided not to field a candidate this year, the reason being that there was a lack of interest. So I have my own statement to make to Americans. If Obama is reelected, or if Romney beats him and is elected, and you happen to be one of the ones who didn't vote for either, don't bitch about government being fucked up. Obama and Romney are not the problem. YOU ARE!! When you don't give a shit long enough to turn off Dancing with the Stars and get your flabby ass off the couch just long enough to vote or otherwise participate, then you deserve the government you end up getting. Stop whining about your government. By your inaction YOU helped to create it, so just shut your fucking mouth. I don't want to hear it. Just live with what you helped to create, and may God have mercy on your pathetic soul.
