Something Wicked This Way Comes . . .

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

--- Voltaire

Voltaire was right. When an honest man pauses for a moment and reasonably analyzes why America is floundering around and up to their necks in the Iraq blood-bath, that quote says it all.

Here's a fantastic article by a "true" conservative lamenting the direction that today's neo-cons and evangelical Republicans are steering America and why he fears for the future of our democracy.

New Axis-of-Evil ------ GOP Senate

A good expose' of the creepy types of politicians that red-state Americans just can't seem to get enough of these days.

One wants to murder abortion doctors, another is a Jew-hating homophobe, a third is a devout "christian" who's rumored to have had a lengthy affair with a prostitute, a fourth is a notorious corporate whore suck-up and environmental pig, and, the fifth is a phony, flag-waving hypocrite who accused his Democratic opponent (a vietnam era military vet) of enabling terrorists and undermining morale of American troops in Iraq.

WHEW!! There you have it in a nutshell - - 5 new Rethuglican Senators ready to re-make American in their loony-tunes, biblically-inspired image. How lovely.

One thing you have to admit though -- those red-state voters sure are consistent when it comes to judging character and integrity in their chosen political leaders. The 5 whack jobs described in this article appear to fit in quite nicely with the current fascist administration and it's democracy-hating policies.

The United States of . . . . .Fundamentalist Christianity

This is the fucking goober Red-state America wants as it's leader?? Jesus-holy-shit-on-a-stick!!

This nation is in big trouble if snake-oil-salesmen like James Dobson get their hands on political power.

WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!!! You fucking somnambulent pussys!!!

Conservative values --- My ASS!!

So - it's come to this.

This is the kind of country the conservatives have wet-dreams about. Network television cancelling a Veteran's Day showing (uncut version) of Steven Spielberg's incredibly patriotic and emotional picture "Saving Private Ryan."

The reason for the cancellation is because local affiliates around the country are terrified that if they show the movie with all of it's realistic violence and realistic language, some bible-thumping hill-billies will blow a gasket and report them to the FCC and they'll incur hefty fines for displaying "indecency" on the public airwaves.

Of course the answer for the "offended" folks is an easy one. Just cut out every swear word, every violent scene and show the remainder of the movie. Anyone who's seen and is a fan of this movie knows how devastating that would be to the overall substance and quality of the film. It simply wouldn't be worth watching in any other format than it's original uncut version.

This military veteran is so sick and fucking tired of these whining, ass-backwards, biblical prophecy spouting, democracy-hating, taliban-like assholes, I just want to goddamn puke!! It's "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN!!" for Christ's sake!! If these fuckers are allowed to solidify a grip on political power in this country, it ain't going to be much longer before the book burnings begin. The parallel with the Nazis rise to power in pre-war 1930's Germany with what's taking place in America today is goddamn frightening.

I hope America wakes the fuck up soon and stems the tide of this intolerant, hateful religious meddling in government and politics. It's an utterly incestuous relationship that will only hasten the downfall of the Democratic Republic that our founding fathers envisioned for us all. Either way, having already been witness to the cowardice of my fellow citizenry as they meekly succumbed to the Bush/Cheney/Rove fear mongering in this last election, I'm slowly drafting plans to emigrate to an alternate freedom loving country in the event the American Taliban has it's way here.

Let the Reaping begin . . .

To all my smug, pious red-state conservative friends - - just as your holy scripture teaches you -- "you shall reap what you sow."

Being an active participant in a scared-rabbit electorate has got to be the height of cowardly citizenship. Sad to think all those brave Americans who fought and died in WW1 and WW2 only to see the fruit of their sacrifice rot from within by imperalistic fear-mongering, hate-mongering neo-fascists like the Bush/Cheney crowd. Saddens my soul to no end.

This article verbosely sums up some of the combative sentiments I'm feeling at the moment.

You know the routine -- just click here.

And a big fucking Amen! to that . . .

I wish I'd been the person to write this gem, but alas, it was written by some other enraged citizen. Anyhow, the sentiments expressed therein pretty much sums it up for me as well . . .

"Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep. And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really? Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?No, No. Get the fuck out. We're not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don't get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I've been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off.Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What's more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don't think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn't be so fucking arrogant if I wasn't paying for your fucking bridges, bitch.All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a shithole," we said, but you had to have your fucking orange juice.The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.Let’s talk about those values for a fucking minute. You and your Southern values can bite my ass because the blue states got the values over you fucking Real Americans every day of the goddamn week. Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? It’s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, that’s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think that’s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we're-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible Belt is doing its fucking part.But two guys making out is going to fucking ruin marriage for you? Yeah? Seems like you're ruining it pretty well on your own, you little bastards. Oh, but that's ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we're fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you're fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that's a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don't talk about religion as much as you because we're not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes? No, you're too busy erecting giant stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in buildings paid for by the fucking Northeast Liberal Elite. And who has the highest murder rates in the nation? It ain't us up here in the North, assholes.Well this gravy train is fucking over. Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your ass.And no, you can't have your fucking convention in New York next time. Fuck off."

Bill O'Reilly -- world class shmuck o' crite!!!

I've got too many friends and family members who seem to find some redeeming quality in FOX News blowhard Bill O'Reilly. I've maintained for years that he's nothing but a self-manufactured know-nothing who feeds the rubes in this country only what they want to hear.

Aside from that tho, this smug prick was one of the many right-wing shills that blathered on and on about the "evil" of Bill Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky.

O'Reilly took great pleasure in "monitoring" and commenting upon the the GOP's ill-fated effort to hound Clinton from office over a personal, consensual affair. O'Reilly weighed in frequently with pious opinions of his own on how the "evil Clinton" was destroying America's moral fabric.

Well, it now seems that the shoe is on the other foot. Mr. O'Reilly is now accused of sexually harassing one of his younger female producers.

The young lady in question seems to have quite a convincing arsenal of Mr. No-Spin's transgressions documented --- meaning she probably has tapes. I sure as hell hope so. I'm so sick of these hypocrite right-wingers getting away with shit just as bad or worse than they tried to crucify Clinton with. My fucking gut aches with the desire to see one of their mighty big-mouthed icons brought to his knees. Oh how the mighty do fall!

Live by the mouth, die by the mouth Mr. O'Reilly.

Here's some links to all the juicy info on No-Spin Bill's dirty little secrets . . .

Enjoy the irony.

Security experts expose Bush incompetence . . again.

Another in a long list of reality bitch-slaps to the face of Bush and the Republicans and their dirty little oil war. Sad, but true.

However, don't expect the lying bumbler-in-chief or his sycophantic Republican followers to listen to yet another dose of common sense from those who know better.

I repeat -- why do Republicans hate democracy??

Yet another story of pre-election ballot tampering by fascist Republicans. Have these people at long last no shame? The answer quite obviously is -- hell no!!

Why do Republicans hate democracy??

This story of the Rethuglicans trashing democracy in Nevada is probably only the tip of the iceberg taken in the context of a nationwide election.

I hope everyone of these fascist pricks are caught and I hope the story of what they are doing gets national airplay in the media. The fact that they are being funded by the RNC (Republican National Committee) speaks volumes about the GOP's respect for the rule of law and for democratic principles. I've been holding my tongue in not trying to label the current brand of right-wing Republicans as the modern equivalent of the Nazi party, but when you read shit like this it's fucking damn near impossible not to speak the truth of the matter.

If Bush wins, you can almost be certain that once again, as in 2000, criminal, anti-democratic activities perpetrated by and on behalf of the Republicans will almost certainly have been the deciding factor.

Bush dead wrong on taxes?? What a shocker!!

The conservative wingnuts who continue to pledge loyalty to their emperor Bush are indeed an amazing species.

Here you have the world's foremost economists stating that Bush's tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans not only did nothing to help the middle class or stimulate job growth, but, in reality, has only benefited the super-rich and endangered this country's long-term economic stability. Yet, despite those FACTS staring them in their glassy-eyed faces all the right-wingers can do is screech endlessly about that "evil librul" Kerry and how he's gonna raise their 'goldurn taxes!

If stupidity were a marketable commodity, America could easily sell off enough of it to wipe out Bush's deficits and still have enough left over to salvage us the next-time the doofus electorate puts Republicans in charge of the country.

U.S. Marines in Iraq tell the real story . . .

Here's the story the SCLM (so called liberal media) is terrified of reporting. Marines on the ground in Iraq, just like their Vietnam counterparts 30 odd years ago telling the true story of their government's fuck-up and cover-up.

At some point you just stop hoping beyond hope that the American people will pull their heads out of their asses and learn their fucking lesson of allowing incompetent leaders to deceive them into implementing incompetent foreign policy. And it's precisely at that point where one begins to fear for their country's future.
