Republicans Prepare to Lose 3rd Straight Presidential Election

You gotta love the Republicans as they head to Iowa. Each and everyone is stumbling over the other to get as far right as possible. Whether it is Scott Walker wanting to eliminate the 14^th amendment or Ted Cruz introducing a bill named for the woman killed in San Francisco that attack the Latino community and characterize them as criminals and miscreants, or maybe you like the idea that Donald Trump will send 11 million undocumented Latinos “home” even children who are legally Americans. The kicker is that they are courting the Latino vote which this election cycle could amount to 28 million while trashing them. This is the way to win a Presidency.

This is not the only front that these self-styled Republicans are going after Americans that they hope will vote for them. Women are their next problem. They have drummed up a phony attack on Planned Parenthood. Let me disclose that my wife and I donate monthly to Planned Parenthood. So in a country that boasts the best healthcare system in the world why is the following happening:

Each year, about one million infants around the world die on the same day they’re born. That figure includes about 11,300 U.S. babies — the highest first-day infant mortality rate of any other country in the industrialized world, according to a new report from Save the Children (Tara Culp-Ressler, Think Progress).

Now these Republican men and woman want to defund an organization dedicated to all women’s health issues, and to correct their false statements this organization does not use any taxpayer monies for abortions that they perform. More than this, they want to eliminate or severely cutback cancer screenings and other vital preventative medical procedure from working poor and low income women in American. With 55% of the women voting for President Obama, there could be a statically significant up tic for the Democrats in 2016. Nice work Republicans

You would think that Republican plates would be full with everything that they want to take away from average, hardworking Americans, but they are not through. For them, to be a true American you must give up your healthcare unless it is employer sponsored and offered as a benefit. The rest of you who have received healthcare because of the Affordable Healthcare Act need to suck it up and get a job that provides such luxuries, but wait there is more to it. They want to destroy unions so that even those medical benefits can be denied because it might negatively impact the bottom line.

Maybe Republicans see their election predicated on invading Iran and that these other issues are merely irksome ancillary problems as Mr. Trump has so bluntly asserted. These Republican stooges seem to believe that sacrificing American men and women for oil and under the pretense of stopping a nuclear Iran is the best foreign policy plan. Diplomacy be damned. We need to be able to unprovoked invade a second country because they are Muslim Infidels with sweet crude that we so desperately want to pump into our cars, trucks, and SUVs.

These ignorant sycophants have only begun their Don Quixotesque quest for the Presidency tilting at windmills while setting themselves up for their third presidential loss in a row and the 5^th in the last 7 elections. Keep acting with impunity you Republican court-jesters as it will lead to an impotency so great that all the Viagra and Cialis in the world cannot save you from yourselves.

The Radicalization of the Political Process

The highlights of the RedState meeting after the first Republican debate concerned everything they are going to take away from Americans. What a bunch of nutjobs.  Mike Huckabee will make sure that healthcare is taken away from the poor as he proposes personhood for the unborn. Which means that a living adult that carrying a fetus will have fewer rights than the fetus gestating in the uterus.

You got to love these guys and one gal who want to be president of America of 1923. I call them the Calvin Coolidge clones. This may not be a far analogy for poor Calvin, but he presided over an anachronistic time that made sure to segregate society between the haves and have nots, the whites from all people of color (unless they were a maid or some other form of servant), and kept unions at bay so that wages could be kept low and profits high.

When you are able to appeal to the lowest common denominator by yelling and repeating some outrageous lie, get to work and get it done like Ted Cruz did when he shouted to the heavens that “…President Obama was ‘funding radical Islamic terrorism’.” That sort of Intellectual dishonesty will bring the house to its knees in praise of your brave stance.

What does all this radicalization of the political process do? Nothing good. It sets up dynamics that perpetuate the inflexibility and intolerance that is sweeping through the country at all levels of the political arena. It ain’t going away anytime soon. In fact the Republicans will double down on their hate rhetoric as long as they see it as a means to an end. Look at Ferguson where white armed militia decided to show up to put the black people in their place.

So for the next 16 months, the American people will be entertained with outrageous and divisive statements as a means for these Republican candidates to try and distinguish themselves from the herd, and after the nomination, they will try to publicly walk them back while privately staying true to their feigned policy positions. I call this the Mitt Romney Effect.

Watching these clowns bend over backwards to please their puppets masters and money machines is sickening and disgusting. There is no single person vying for the Republican nomination that is their own man or woman. All they do is pander with their hand out for the next greenback.

You may say, “Wait a minute, what about that Trump character?” You’re right; his hand ain’t out begging for a handout because it’s trapped deep in his own pocket pulling out his own nickels and dimes to say fuck you to those other billionaires who hide behind closed door a feared of the public finding out who they are and the agenda that they are pressing on their puppets. More than the money the Donald pretends to be Mister Honesty and General No It All who will with a wave of his hand solve all of America’s problems.

As the old saying goes, “Money talks and Bullshit walks,” is completely wrong in this Republican nominating process. It is Bullshit that talks and brings in wheelbarrows of money, and the more desperate the candidate the greater the amount of Bullshit that emanates from his or her pie hole leaving any normal American shaking their heads in disbelief.

It is the Money and Bullshit that is radicalizing the Republican field as they watch their chances to win the presidency again evaporate before their eyes because of they need to gratify their base at all costs and ignore the rest of America. Radicalized politicians won’t win because they are shackled to their cause and not the needs of the American people, which is a shame because we once had two parties that presented competing but competent ideas to help America. We are left with but one…

America: Home of the Right-Wing Nut Jobs Ready to Kill

It is dumbfounding to think of all the crackers that live and breathe the same air as me. I spent 15 of my first 18 years living in Alabama or Texas during the 60’s and 70’s. It is these same people that want to take our country back in time much like our jihadist friends in the Middle East. Whitey as I like to call these crackers are ignorant and too often homicidal. Check out the latest attack in Louisiana.

These dumbass jackalopes make fools of themselves whenever they are interviewed or seen in public with their Confederate Flags and automatic weapons strapped to their chests and back as they stroll through Walmart. It makes the average citizen like me disgusted with this infantile behavior.

Unlike other places in the world where war has broken out and thrown society into chaos. We Americans go about our business as if nothing is happening. We find other issues to focus as we kill over ten times the number of innocent American citizens than any other industrialized, first world country.

I am not talking about a shooting here and a shooting there. I am talking about mass shootings that no other industrialized country experiences. Since the Newtown massacre of babies, America has experienced approximately 75 mass shootings, which means that at least four persons were killed in each incident.

Who were the majority of the killers in these shootings? White men! These cranks seem to taking out their frustration of their own poor choices on the rest of society. They have decided that they are God and can take others’ lives. This chills me to the bone because anyone can be the target of their ire and frustration be it a family member, co-worker, boss or random innocent people who happen to be in their purview.

Too many of these attacks are created by the hate stirred up on right-wing radio and the internet. Our first Amendment allows these purveyors of hatred to fill the airways with their loathing for the present and future. And, helps these nut jobs to focus their misguided hate and anger on the innocent too often but not exclusively brought on by those that wave the confederate flag.

I want to thank our confederate flag waving brethren who use this symbol to advertise their fear of progress, their ignorance, and their hatred of freedom for anyone but themselves. Their intolerance for any kind of dissonance is astounding. The only way they can deal with the world is on their myopic terms and anything or anyone who sees it differently is Anti-American and must be put in their place.

Their heroes are people like Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones or Glen Beck whose bigoted world view leaves no room for the majority of Americans. If these men had their way, we would have the vagina police and the bedroom police to make sure that they or their cohorts could control the minutest details of American life. For the ignorant, we call this behavior FASCISM.

So, all you dumbass crackers out there who listen to all this garbage on the radio and computers, and believe that the black helicopters are coming for your guns and give your freedoms to (fill in the minority of your choice) better get your bunkers built because the rest of society is moving forward as you run to a past that never existed except in your fantasies.
