READER COMMENT

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see, he tries to tell me what I put inside of me. He's got the answers to ease my curiosity,he dreamed up a god and called it Christianity. Your god is dead and no one cares, if there is a hell, I will see you there. He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line, he made a virus that would kill off all the swine. His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain demands devotion, atrocities done in his name. Your god is dead and no one cares, drowning in his own hypocrisy. And if there is a hell I will see you there, burning with your god in humility. Will you die for this?

I received the following reader comment on the post titled "Bill O'Reilly Can Suck Me." The commentee asked that we "left wing bloggers" respond so respond I shall. Here's the text of the comment:

Alex said...
Just a question for the left-wing bloggers out there (simply because I'm curious):What do you think of 'values?'You know, those cardinal virtues that everyone believes they have. What about religion? What do you think of religion as a whole, not just Christianity, Islam, etc. Should this country have a non-religious moral code, or for that matter, no moral code at all? Thanks, and I hope some of you respond.

So you wish to know how we "left wingers" can have any "values" or "morals" if "WE" don't believe in religion? (and you're assuming that ALL left wingers or anyone who doesn't fall in step with you and this current government are non-religious, which is wrong.) The answer to your question is quite simple. Too simple in fact. I don't do certain things cuz I'm not an ignorant asshole and I respect other people and their shit. And I also tend to follow the current laws (whether I tend to agree with them or not. Prime example, the marijuana laws, and no I'm not a drug addict) so I won't land myself in jail, a place I have no desire to ever see. I have my own moral code which I follow which is basically "would I want this done to me?" It's simple. I don't have to go to a church or a synagogue or a mosque and have threats of eternal damnation shoved down my throat in order to know how to act.

Do I kill people? No. Why not since I don't believe in religion? Cuz I wouldn't want someone killing me and cuz I don't think its MY RIGHT to kill someone. Not cuz some book says its not right, but because I SAY its not my right. People who kill indiscriminately were born without conscience. The regular person would be eaten alive by guilt if they were to kill another person. Their conscience would eventually drive them crazy. In other words they would "feel bad" about what they did and they would drive themselves nuts dwelling on it all the time. The stone cold killer, devoid of a conscience, is not bothered by such petty thoughts. They kill and they go about their business. Like I put air in my tires and go on with my life they kill someone and get on with it. It has nothing to do with someone being "inherently evil" or "possessed" or some shit like that. Stone cold killers were born without a conscience.

That's what makes me laugh about the religious right. Everything's gotta be about evil or non-evil. That's such a simplistic way to summarize the human condition. A convenient way to ignore the religious rights number one enemy: SCIENCE. Do you know how many chemical processes go into forming a human being? One chemical is slightly off and you're born with three arms or the heart on the wrong side of your chest, one eye or spina bifida. A DNA strand if facing right instead of left and you're born retarded or with some horrible genetic disorder. So if that's so acceptable and believable then why is it so hard to believe that people can be born without a conscience? (or GAY for that matter.) They're missing a chemical or maybe they have too much or one chemical or too little of another. But its much easier for the religious types to write it off as good or evil, right or wrong. It helps their cause. Gives their views a boost. Someone's a killer? They're possessed by the devil. Simple. Black or white. Good or evil. Requires no thought. All the thinking is already done for them.

Do I steal? No. Why not? Not cuz JESUS told me not to. I don't steal cuz it's not my shit to steal. Would I care if someone stole my fucking car, robbed my house or went into my purse and took all my credit cards? You're goddamn right I'd be mad. I worked for that shit and it's my shit to do with as I please. Never do I recall putting someone else's name on it to use. Once again it has nothing to do with what the BIBLE says (who cares.) I decide what I should do and what I shouldn't do based on my my OWN CODE and by how my parents raised me (and my parents never mentioned religion to me ONCE when I was growing up. It was MY choice to decide and I therefore wasn't indoctrinated into the cult from the second I came out the birth canal.) I do not need a list of "Commandments" nor a belief in a spaghetti monster in the sky keeping tabs on me in order to know what is right and what is wrong. Those who do are unable to think for themselves and I'll even go so far as to argue that those are the dangerous people. If you need to constantly be reasussured that what you're doing is right, that what you're doing (or not doing for that matter) fits into the will and desire of a GOD then you are a weak individual who is unable to make decisions for yourself and requires constant reassurance from an entity whose existence can never be proven. You are basing your entire life, judging other people, and making decisions about other peoples lives based on a book that not EVERYONE in the world believes in, that cannot be proven and that has no verifiable author. And best yet, you pick and choose WHAT parts of that book you will choose to follow or not follow depending on what's best for you.

So as for "what do I think about religion" the answer is quite simple. I think it's the most dangerous thing human beings have ever created. More dangerous than gunpowder, crack cocaine or nuclear weapons. How many people have been killed in the name of religion over the years? As a result of the constant strife between one religlion or another? My spaghetti monster is better than your spaghetti monster, so die motherfucker. It's absurd, it's childish and it's DANGEROUS. If I had MY way, religion would be outlawed. It's simply too dangerous. Like street gangs, always at each others throats cuz one wore the wrong color or painted over another gangs graffiti. Would you be opposed the outlawing of street gangs. I doubt it. Religion is, more or less, society sanctioning street gangs. They wear their "colors," they have their own "signs" they throw up to let the other "gangs" know what side they're on, they believe their "gang" to be the only gang that should exist on the planet and they will go to any extreme to drive any opposing gangs out of "their" territory. Sound familiar?

I believe that initially religion was a guide for how primitive people should live their lives. Before there was law enforcement in society how better to control a primitive population, who knew nothing of science, then to scare the shit out of them with threats of hell and eternal punishment? These were people who looked to the sky during a thunder storm and believed the gods were angry at them. Who thought disesases and droughts were punishments from GOD. And yet today, with all the scientific advances we have made (and which you, yourself, utilize if it's beneficial to YOU) you STILL rely on this book written by a primitive society to guide not ONLY your life but MY life and others lives as well. It's infuriating. You have every right to believe in any religion you want, but you DON'T have every right to shove that religion down MY throat nor the throat of any other individual on the planet. I think University of Texas has the best football team. Do you disagree? If so, do you wanna see me convert to YOUR favorite football team? Do you wanna make me start wearing YOUR favorite teams colors everyday? And if I DON'T root for you're team, am I somehow inferior and deserve to have my opinions silenced? Think that's crazy? So is religion.

Any other "liberal bloggers," or just plain "liberals" for that matter, who wish to similarly comment please do so, all comments will be posted.

BITCH

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease I'm a goddess on my knees When you hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover. I've been numb, I'm revived, Can't say I'm not alive You know I wouldn't want it any other way

After the post "Replay" which dealt with my pathetic, miserable "love life" (if you could even call it that), I received many comments and emails saying how amazed readers were that this blog is written by a female. Yes, it's true folks, this blog is written by someone who wears a BRA (not a big one, mind you. And they're not flowery either) and has ovaries. I can't understand why that's so hard to believe. Women aren't permitted to be furious and voice their oppinion? Should I sit at home like a good girl, mouth shut, vaccuming and doing chores? Then you've never met me. To hell with that shit. You don't want to hear my FULL OPINION, then don't ask. I'll let someone know EXACTLY what I think of them in 2 seconds flat. No hold barred. No meek little girl here. Hell no. You wanna survive these days, you've gotta take a damn stand. Fight for what you believe, testicles, ovaries, hermaphrodite, whatever.

At least none of the responses regarding my sex has been negative, just sheer amazement. Actually made me laugh cuz the "My Heartfelt Apology to South Dakota" post should have given it away. And I believe that I've even SAID I was a girl a few times. You people need to pay better atention!!! What other litle tidbits of knowledge have you missed? I'm just kidding, what the hell do I care? As long as we're all on the same page politically, than I'm good with you.

So to all the females who read this blog, START WRITING. Subscribe to blogger and just start writing about what makes you mad, what sends you over the top and makes you wanna punch some reichwinger in the damn face. You can blog anonymously. Just WRITE. Boobs or no boobs.

Another angry blog written by a female that I think you all will enjoy is:

The Ghost of Vice President Wallace Warns: "It Can Happen Here"
by Thom Hartmann

The Republican National Committee has recently removed from the top-level pages of their website an advertisement interspersing Hitler's face with those of John Kerry and other prominent Democrats. This little-heralded step has freed former Enron lobbyist and current RNC chairman Ed Gillespie to resume his attacks on Americans who believe some provisions of Bush's PATRIOT Act, his detention of American citizens without charges, his willingness to let corporations write legislation, and the so-called "Free Speech Zones" around his public appearances are all steps on the road to American fascism.

The RNC's feeble attempt to equate Hitler and Democrats was short-lived, but it brings to mind the first American Vice President to point out the "American fascists" among us.
Although most Americans remember that Harry Truman was Franklin D. Roosevelt's Vice President when Roosevelt died in 1945 (making Truman President), Roosevelt had two previous Vice Presidents - John N. Garner (1933-1941) and Henry A. Wallace (1941-1945). In early 1944, the New York Times asked Vice President Henry Wallace to, as Wallace noted, "write a piece answering the following questions: What is a fascist? How many fascists have we? How dangerous are they?"

Vice President Wallace's answer to those questions was published in The New York Times on April 9, 1944, at the height of the war against the Axis powers of Germany and Japan.
"The really dangerous American fascists," Wallace wrote, "are not those who are hooked up directly or indirectly with the Axis. The FBI has its finger on those. The dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power."

In this, Wallace was using the classic definition of the word "fascist" - the definition Mussolini had in mind when he claimed to have invented the word. (It was actually Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile who wrote the entry in the Encyclopedia Italiana that said: "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." Mussolini, however, affixed his name to the entry, and claimed credit for it.)
As the 1983 American Heritage Dictionary noted, fascism is: "A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."

Mussolini was quite straightforward about all this. In a 1923 pamphlet titled "The Doctrine of Fascism" he wrote, "If classical liberalism spells individualism, Fascism spells government." But not a government of, by, and for We The People - instead, it would be a government of, by, and for the most powerful corporate interests in the nation.

In 1938, Mussolini brought his vision of fascism into full reality when he dissolved Parliament and replaced it with the "Camera dei Fasci e delle Corporazioni" - the Chamber of the Fascist Corporations. Corporations were still privately owned, but now instead of having to sneak their money to folks like Tom DeLay and covertly write legislation, they were openly in charge of the government.

Vice President Wallace bluntly laid out in his 1944 Times article his concern about the same happening here in America:

"If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States. There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful. ... They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead."

Nonetheless, at that time there were few corporate heads who had run for political office, and, in Wallace's view, most politicians still felt it was their obligation to represent We The People instead of corporate cartels. "American fascism will not be really dangerous," he added in the next paragraph, "until there is a purposeful coalition among the cartelists, the deliberate poisoners of public information..."

Noting that, "Fascism is a worldwide disease," Wallace further suggest that fascism's "greatest threat to the United States will come after the war" and will manifest "within the United States itself."

In Sinclair Lewis's 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here," a conservative southern politician is helped to the presidency by a nationally syndicated radio talk show host. The politician - Buzz Windrip - runs his campaign on family values, the flag, and patriotism. Windrip and the talk show host portray advocates of traditional American democracy as anti-American. When Windrip becomes President, he opens a Guantanamo-style detention center, and the viewpoint character of the book, Vermont newspaper editor Doremus Jessup, flees to Canada to avoid prosecution under new "patriotic" laws that make it illegal to criticize the President.

As Lewis noted in his novel, "the President, with something of his former good-humor [said]: 'There are two [political] parties, the Corporate and those who don't belong to any party at all, and so, to use a common phrase, are just out of luck!' The idea of the Corporate or Corporative State, Secretary [of State] Sarason had more or less taken from Italy." And, President "Windrip's partisans called themselves the Corporatists, or, familiarly, the 'Corpos,' which nickname was generally used."

Lewis, the first American writer to win a Nobel Prize, was world famous by 1944, as was his book "It Can't Happen Here." And several well-known and powerful Americans, including Prescott Bush, had lost businesses in the early 1940s because of charges by Roosevelt that they were doing business with Hitler. These events all, no doubt, colored Vice President Wallace's thinking when he wrote:

"Still another danger is represented by those who, paying lip service to democracy and the common welfare, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion. American fascists of this stamp were clandestinely aligned with their German counterparts before the war, and are even now preparing to resume where they left off, after 'the present unpleasantness' ceases."

Fascists have an agenda that is primarily economic. As the Free Dictionary (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/) notes, fascism/corporatism is "an attempt to create a 'modern' version of feudalism by merging the 'corporate' interests with those of the state."
Feudalism, of course, is one of the most stable of the three historic tyrannies (kingdoms, theocracies, feudalism) that ruled nations prior to the rise of American republican democracy, and can be roughly defined as "rule by the rich."

Thus, the neo-feudal/fascistic rich get richer (and more powerful) on the backs of the poor and the middle class, an irony not lost on author Thomas Frank, who notes in his new book "What's The Matter With Kansas" that, "You can see the paradox first-hand on nearly any Main Street in middle America - 'going out of business' signs side by side with placards supporting George W. Bush."

The businesses "going out of business" are, in fascist administrations, usually those of locally owned small and medium-sized companies. As Wallace wrote, some in big business "are willing to jeopardize the structure of American liberty to gain some temporary advantage." He added, "Monopolists who fear competition and who distrust democracy because it stands for equal opportunity would like to secure their position against small and energetic enterprise [companies]. In an effort to eliminate the possibility of any rival growing up, some monopolists would sacrifice democracy itself."

But American fascists who would want former CEOs as President, Vice President, House Majority Whip, and Senate Majority Leader, and write legislation with corporate interests in mind, don't generally talk to We The People about their real agenda, or the harm it does to small businesses and working people. Instead, as Hitler did with the trade union leaders and the Jews, they point to a "them" to pin with blame and distract people from the harms of their economic policies.
In a comment presient of George W. Bush's recent suggestion that civilization itself is at risk because of gays, Wallace continued:

"The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power. It is no coincidence that the growth of modern tyrants has in every case been heralded by the growth of prejudice. It may be shocking to some people in this country to realize that, without meaning to do so, they hold views in common with Hitler when they preach discrimination..."
But even at this, Wallace noted, American fascists would have to lie to the people in order to gain power. And, because they were in bed with the nation's largest corporations - who could gain control of newspapers and broadcast media - they could promote their lies with ease.
"The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact," Wallace wrote. "Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy."

In his strongest indictment of the tide of fascism the Vice President of the United States saw rising in America, he added, "They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

Finally, Wallace said, "The myth of fascist efficiency has deluded many people. ... Democracy, to crush fascism internally, must...develop the ability to keep people fully employed and at the same time balance the budget. It must put human beings first and dollars second. It must appeal to reason and decency and not to violence and deceit. We must not tolerate oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the form of monopolies and cartels."

This liberal vision of an egalitarian America in which very large businesses and media monopolies are broken up under the 1890 Sherman Anti-Trust Act (which Reagan stopped enforcing, leading to the mergers & acquisitions frenzy that continues to this day) was the driving vision of the New Deal (and of "Trust Buster" Teddy Roosevelt a generation earlier).
As Wallace's President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, said when he accepted his party's renomination in 1936 in Philadelphia, "...out of this modern civilization, economic royalists [have] carved new dynasties.... It was natural and perhaps human that the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties, thirsting for power, reached out for control over government itself. They created a new despotism and wrapped it in the robes of legal sanction.... And as a result the average man once more confronts the problem that faced the Minute Man...."

Speaking indirectly of the fascists that Wallace would directly name almost a decade later, Roosevelt brought the issue to its core: "These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."

But, he thundered in that speech, "Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!"

In 2004, we again stand at the same crossroad Roosevelt and Wallace confronted during the Great Depression and World War II. Fascism is again rising in America, this time calling itself "compassionate conservatism." The RNC's behavior today eerily parallels the day in 1936 when Roosevelt said, "In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for."
It's particularly ironic that the CEOs and lobbyists who run the Republican National Committee would have chosen to put Hitler's fascist face into one of their campaign commercials, just before they launched a national campaign against gays and while they continue to arrest people who wear anti-Bush T-shirts in public places.

President Roosevelt and Vice President Wallace's warnings have come full circle. Which is why it's so critical that this November we join together at the ballot box to stop this most recent incarnation of feudal fascism from seizing complete control of our nation.

KILLADELPHIA

One life to live it's so hard to be positive, when niggas shootin at your crib.

- Tupac Shakur

Sorry that I have neglected to write in the last few weeks but shit's been a little crazy. I got a new job in downtown Killadelphia and must leave at the ass crack of dawn to make it there. It takes even LONGER getting out of the city at the end of the day so I often don't get home til its time for bed. But the job pays more than twice what I was making before (imagine that? A left wing radical making a decent salary....what's wrong with this world) so I couldn't really turn it down. I have been too exhausted at the end of the day to write and on the weekends all I've been doing is sleeping. So I apologize to anyone who thought I had thrown in the towel or had been carted off to Guantanamo.

Too much has been going on with the American Nazi Party for me to talk about it in this post. I must leave for work in a mere 15 minutes and I haven't even struggled into my bullet proof vest yet. Ah yes, I forget, you guys aren't familiar with the goings on in my glorious hometown of Killadelphia, Pa.

This city has lost its mind. The murder rate when I LAST checked was at a whopping 145 since January 1st. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE. Can you imagine? It's like the wild fucking west around here. They'll shoot ya for looking crossed eyed at the floor. EVERYONE is packin heat and quick on the draw. It's insane. A cop was shot in the head about 3 weeks ago trying to stop an armed (what else) hold up at a bar. That shut down large portions of the city for DAYS as they searched for that genius. I believe they eventually caught the idiot that did it, although keeping up with which suspect goes with which murder is difficult these days.

A favorite thing to do for the armed gangs of assholes around here is to get into a multiple shot-fired shoot out in the most obvious place - in front of an elementary school (makes sense, right?) so some poor kid is always catching a bullet in the head as he exits school. Then it's big news until the next day, when it happens again. And I'm not talking 3 or 4 shots. I'm talking these cats are unloading an entire clip, refucking loading, and continuing to fire. Even the rapper Beanie Sigel got shot the other day (not as if that's really surprising, but I thought I'd mention it for name recognition.) That made news for about 5 minutes until someone else got it.

So I have to drive through one of these "Ok Corral" areas on my way to center city and the skyscraper in which I pretty much waste 8 hours a day for a very nice salary. I sit as low in the carseat as possible, minimizing my profile and giving the insurgents less of a target when they start blasting. The whole area (well, at least this street) is bathed with signs strung across the streets screaming "STOP THE VIOLENCE" or posted on church lawns that declare "STOP THE MURDER" etc etc. It's not working. Just the other day on my way home from work I heard multiple gunshots coming from the south. People started scurrying in all directions. The more experienced just stepped back into a building doorway and continue their conversations. I hit the accelerator and got the fuck outta Dodge.

Is this any way for an American citizen to live? Just cuz you're poor doesn't mean you're a scum bag and deserves to live in fear and under the constant threat of murder. Maybe the shooters should be rounded up and sent to Iraq where they can take out their weapons fantasy in a war zone. I'm betting these "street gangsters" would shit their fucking pants if they were put into a combat situation. These guys are tough when they're the only ones armed. Put them up against some REAL insurgents who DO NOT GIVE A FUCK and we'll see how "gangster" they are.

Well I must depart for my treacherous trip into no mans land. I'm strapping on my bullet proof vest as we speak and affixing my teflon helmet to my head. Wish me luck. I will write more later this week. Til then.

THE REICHSTAG FIRE

"We German Social Democrats pledge ourselves solemnly in this historic hour to the principles of hummanity and justice, of freedom and socialism. No 'Enabling Act' can give you the power to destroy ideas which are eternal and indestructible."

- Otto Wells, leader of the German Social Democrats, whose members had been "detained" by the Storm Troopers, to Adolf Hitler on March 23rd, 1933 after the passing of Hitler's 'Enabling Act' which ended democracy in Germany for the next 12 years.

**The following quotes come from 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich' by William L. Shirer. Chapter seven (The Nazification of Germany: 1933 to 1934) pages 263 to 278**

"On Januray 31, 1933, the day after Hitler was named Chancellor, Goebbels wrote in his diary : 'In a conference with the Fuhrer we lay down the line for the fight against the Red Terror. For the moment we shall abstain from direct countermeasures. The Bolshevik attempt at revolution must burst into flame . At the proper moment, we shall strike.'" The only problem with the Nazi plan was that the "strike" never came, despite numerous brutal attempts by the Nazis to incite a revolution or a communist uprising. Hitler needed such an 'uprising' to occur in order to frighten the people into voting for his "Enabling Act" which would nullify the German constitution and place all the power of the government directly into Hitler's hands.

Communist party headquarters were occupied and shut down by the feared Brownshirts. Rallies were forbidden or broken up. Leaders of the Communist Party and any other German who rose to their support or protection were viciously beaten and many were locked up. The German police were told by Hitler to "make use of firearms" and those who refused or were seen as 'holding back' were punished.

"And yet despite all the terror the 'Bolshevik revoultion' which Goebbels, Hitler and Goering were looking for failed to 'burst into flames.' If it could not be provoked, might it not have to be invented?" And so they did. On February 24th Goering's police force raided the Communist party headquarters in Berlin, the Karl Liebknecht Haus. The headquarters had been abandoned weeks ago and many of the members had gone underground or slipped out of Germany and headed towards Russia. But "piles of propaganda pamphlets had been left in the cellar and these were enough to enable Goering to announce in an official communique that the seized 'documents' proved that the Communists were about to launch the revolution." Unfortunately for the Nazis, the reaction of the government and the people was one of skepticism. "It was obvious that something more sensational must be found to stampede the public before the election took place on March 5th."

On the evening of February 27th the German Reichstag burned to the ground. While still engulfed in flames, Hitler, Goering and Goebbels raced to the scene of the 'crime.' Upon arrival, they feigned outrage. "That it was a crime, a communist crime, they (the Nazis) proclaimed at once on arrival at the fire." A short time later, Goebbels proclaimed "This is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very moment be strung up." And so it began. Hitler had his "terrorist" attack and a convenient "enemy" to blame it on.

"The whole truth about the Reichstag fire will probably never be known......though there is enough evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that it was the Nazi's who planned the arson and carried it out for their own political ends." They even found a dupe to blame it on, a half-witted Dutch Communist with a penchant for arson named Marinus van der Lubbe. A few days before the "attack" van der Lubbe had been picked up by the Nazis at a bar after he was heard boasting that he had recently set fire to several public buildings and that he was next going to try the Reichstag. "The coincidence that the Nazis has found a demented Communist arsonist who was out to do exactly what they themselves had determined to do seems incredible but is nevertheless supported by the evidence.....van der Lubbe was encouraged to try to set the Reichstag on fire. But the main job was to be done - without his knowledge, of course - by the storm troopers." Upon discovery at the burning building, van der Lubbe was arrested on the spot and, after a sham trial, was found guilty and decapitated.

Hitler lost no time in expoliting the Reichstag fire to the limit. The day after the fire, the Prussian government issued a "long statement declaring that it had found Communist 'documents' proving : Government buildings, museums, mansions and essential plants were to be burned down....Women and children were to be sent in front of terrorist groups......The burning of the Reichstag was to be the signal for the bloody insurrection and civil war....It has been ascertained that today was to have seen throughout Germany terrorist acts against individual persons, against private property, and against the life and limb of the peaceful population, and also the beginning of general civil war."

"Publication of the 'documents proving the Communist conspiracy' was promised but never made. The fact, however, that the Prussian government itself vouched for their authenticity impressed many Germans." The people were terrified. "The streets, bedecked with swastika flags, echoed to the tramp of the storm troopers. There were mass rallies, torchlight parades, the din of loudspeakers in the squares. The billboards were plastered with flamboyant Nazi posters and at night bonfires lit up the hills. The elctorate was in turn cajoled with promises of a German paradise, intimidated by the brown shirted terror in the streets and frightened by revelations about the Communist revolution. With all the resources of the national and Prussian government at their disposal, and with plenty of money from big business in their coffers, the Nazis carried on an election propaganda such as Germany had never seen before." Those who still held doubts may have been impressed by Goering's (the man in charge of the 'Police') threats against the Communist terrorists: "Fellow Germans, my measures will not be cripppled by any judicial thinking...I don't have to worry about justice; my mission is only to destroy and exterminate, nothing more!...Certainly, I shall use the power of the State and the police to the utmost, my dear Communists, so don't draw any flase conclusions; but the struggle to the death, in which my fist will grasp your necks, I shall lead to those down there - the Brownshirts." It worked.

Hitler prevailed on President Hindenburg to sign a decree "For the Protection of the People of the State" which suspended the seven sections of the constitution which guaranteed "individual and civil liberties." Hitler, describing it as a "defensive measure against Communist acts of violence endangering the state, the decree laid down that: Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of the free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications; and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed."

"Thus with one stroke, Hitler was able not only to legally gag his opponents and arrest them at will but, by making the trumped-up Communist threat 'official,' as it were, to throw millions of the middle class and the peasants into a frenzy of FEAR that unless they voted for National Socialism at the elections a week hence, the Bolsheviks might take over." But Hitler didn't stop there. He needed COMPLETE power over the remaning German parliment (the only people left opposing him were the Social Democrats and they still held enough seats to hold off Hitlers push for complete dictatorship.)

Hitlers plan was deceptively simple and had the advantage of "cloaking seizure of absolute power in legality." "The Reichstag would be asked to pass the 'Enabling Act' conferring on Hitlers cabinet exclusive legislative powers for four years. Put even more simply, the German Parliment would be requested to turn over its Constitutional functions to Hitler and take a long vacation." But the Social Democrats still held enough seats to oppose the two-thirds needed to succeed. But this didn't stop Hiltler. By the decree signed by Hindenburg ('The Protection of the People of the State'), Hitler simply arrested as many Social Democrats as necessary "to assure to two-thrids majority." And so he did. And he won. The vote was taken and it was 441 FOR and 84 (all Social Democrats not 'detained') AGAINST.

On March 23rd, the 'Enabling Act' was before the Reichstag. "It's brief five paragraphs took the power of legislation, including control of the Reich budget, approval of treaties with foreign states and the initiating of Constitutional amendments, away from Parliment and handed it over to the Reich cabinet for a period of four years. Moreover, the act stipulated that the laws enacted by the cabinet were to be drafted by the Chancellor (Hitler) and 'might deviate from the Constitution.'" Nobody said a word in protest. The German people, fearing terrorist attacks by the Communists, felt secure knowing Hitler was in charge of the country, believing he would, indeed, "protect them." This was the farthest thing from the truth. The German people had just abdicated all governmental powers to one man. Overnight they had permitted, by silencing their voices out of fear of an impending Communist attack, one man to take charge over their entire government.

"Thus the parlimentaty democracy finally interred in Germany. Except for arrests of the Communists and some of the Social Democratic deputies, it was all done quite legally, though accompanied by TERROR. Parliment had turned over its Constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby commited suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state to the very end of the Third Reich, serving infrequently as a sounding board for some of Hitler's thunderous pronunciations, its members henceforth handpicked by the Nazi Party, for there were to be no more REAL elections. It was this Enabling Acts alone which formed the legal basis for Hitler's dictatorship. From March 23, 1933, on, Hilter was the dictator of the Reich, freed of any restraint by Parliment. "

"The streets gangs," in the words of Alan Bullock, "had seized control of the resources of a great modern State, the gutter had come to power. But - as Hitler never ceased to boast - 'LEGALLY,' by an overwhelming vote of Parliment. The Germans had no one to blame but themselves."

Does this entire scenario sound vaguely familiar to you? It sure does to me.

COUNT RUMSULA

"You know this sonofabitch is seven centuries old. He sleeps in a box somewhere filled with dirt from Rumania."

- Mike Malloy last night

Air America Radio

Malloy needs to be quoted at LEAST once a day outside of listening to his show. After hearing him make the above statement last night regarding that bloodsucking vampire Rumsfeld, I nearly fell outta bed laughing. But it's not funny. Donald Rumsfeld IS evil. You can see it when he smiles. The smile never reaches his eyes. Next time you catch him making some senseless, babbling speech on C-Span, test my theory. The smile.. never.. reaches.. his.. eyes. It stops dead at his mouth, as if there is some steel barrier between his facial expressions and his soul. I'm sure there is. It's called EVIL. (This "smile" theory can be tested on serial killers and plain old street level psychos also. Works every time. Dead giveaway that you're dealing with a sociopath.) Rumsfeld is a 700 year old bloodsucking freak. And the only way to rid the world of a vampire is to drive a stake through it's black heart. Any takers? I'll help fashion the stakes. Only problem, we don't know where the bloodsuckers coffin is stored. My best guess is somewhere at Faux News headquarters. But entering that den of vileness and filth is simply too terrifying, even for the bravest vampire hunter.

SOUNDTRACK TO THE REVOLUTION

I know too much, the government is tryna murder me

- Immortal Technique

It looks like I'm gonna have to rely on the underground rap community to compose the music for the revolution. Unfortunately, you'll NEVER hear any of these groups on the radio/MTV or BET. Not that that's a bad thing, cuz any rap group that blows up on either of these outlets pretty much completely sucks and raps strickly about bitches, bling and cash, topics that are neither interesting nor relevant to the times. Mainstream rap music SUCKS.

I listen to a shit load of rap music (truth be told, I listen to a shit load of MUSIC. Period. All genres included), but all of it is considered "undergroud." The artists are extremely talented but have choosen NOT to sell out to the music industry which would force them to change their lyrics and their style to attract 13 year old white girls who like to dance around their spacious rooms and believe they are somehow bucking authority (their parents) by bringing "black " music into their McMansions.

There's alot of political rap music out there, you just have to go looking for it. To save you some time and effort, I will name a few groups for you so you can listen to them for yourself. I highly recommend you download the file sharing program BearShare (www.Bearshare.com. Choose the FREE program) so you can listen to the music before you purchase the album. Some of the best political rap groups include The Lost Children of Babylon (their new album, dealing solely with the 9/11 conspiracy, is pictured above. It's super hot), Immortal Technique (you've seen his lyrics quoted here numerous times. ALL of his albums are hot and deal with the criminality of the Bu$h cabal and their involvement in 9/11), The Coup, Dead Prez, The Reavers (pick up their album 'Terror Firma' asap) Non-Phixion, Mos Def, Pharaoh Monch, Talib Kweli, Army of the Pharaohs (their new album 'The Torture Papers' is ALSO hot) and Jedi Mind Tricks (everything they have ever done is hot) just to name a few.

The truth IS out there, it's just not receiving any airtime on the republican owned radio conglomerates and the similarly reich-wing owned record companies. One can't say it's not being talked about, it's just being supressed, whether directly (by threatening the artists to change their lyrics and intentionally NOT allowing their work to be heard on the radio) or indirectly (by pricing their albums in the $20 to $30 dollar range, making their albums hard to find, discrediting their message with the 'mainstream music consumer' as 'crazy conspiracy music' or, as Bill O'Reilly has done a few times, invite the artist on his "show" and then demonize him as unpatriotic and treasonous. When the lights go out, I get O'Reilly.)

Even if you're not a fan of rap music (my mom says it all sounds the same to her but she's also 500 years old, so I shouldn't expect her to understand nor appreciate rap music. Don't tell her I said that. The 500 years old part.) I still hope you will check out the groups and individual artists mentioned above and support their work for they are the ONLY ones speaking up for us on a regular basis and detailing what's REALLY going on in this country (yes, I'm aware that there are a FEW rock acts who are also putting out protest music, but compared to the politically conscious acts of the 1960's, they are few and far between. But I still respect them for their work) for it will be artists like this who will provide us with the soundtrack to the revolution. It's a shame that the venerable rap artist Tupac Shakur was gunned down at such an early age. With the talent he posessed and his penchant for taking on the issues relevant to the underclass and the dispossessed, I can only imagine what he would accomplish lyrically with the issues we are facing today.

The revolution will NOT be televised. But it WILL be reported, by artists not afraid to speak out.

DIVINE STRAKE

Lights, camera, cock back the hammer. EXPLOSION!

- Redman

I'm sure most of you are already familiar with the upcoming simulated nuclear test that's going to occur in Nevada on June 2nd. But for those of you who aren't, here are the details.

On June 2nd of this year, the Department of Defense will explode 700 TONS of explosives (1.4 MILLION pounds) at the Nevada test range about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. It will be called "Divine Strake." This will not be several different explosions totalling 700 tons (1.4 million lbs) but one HUGE explosion. The detonation will be also be perfomed underground to test the effects of such an enormous explosion on subterranean bunker complexes. I found some good stories on Divine Strike and I want you to read them. The first link is from a story by the Washington Post : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/30/AR2006033001735.html and the second is an editorial by the Washington Post: http://blogs.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2006/04/divine_guidance.html and the final website I want you to read is Globalsecurity.org's long researched piece on Divine Strike. Here is the link to the first page (please research this site for MORE info on Divine Strake): http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/ops/divine-strake.htm

Seven hundred tons seems a little huge for a conventional bomb, doesn't it? Could a bomber even CARRY a 700 ton bomb? So I investigated, and the answer is NO. Our largest bomber is the B-52 bomber. It can carry a maximum payload of 35 tons (For info on the B-52, check this link: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/bomber/b52/) That's a little short, isn't it? So lets assume they are going to load this behemouth of a bomb in a cargo plane, lets say America's largest cargo plane, the C-5 Galaxy, and push it out the back of the plance over the intended target with the help of an elephant. Well a C-5 can carry a maximum payload of 130.5 tons. Also short. VERY short (for info on the C-5 cargo plane, check this link: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/transport-m/c5/)

So we have our government testing the effects of an explosion caused by 700 tons of munitions but we have no way to DROP such a large bomb on another country should we like the "effects" of Divine Strake. So why test such a huge weapon if we could never drop it? Well the answer is simple. Unable to test a nuclear weapon due to the restrictions placed upon us by the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (not that Bu$h gives a shit, but why upset the Russians and thr Chinese YET) Bu$h et al are going to see if 700 TONS of explosives is an adequate amount to destroy Iran's underground bunker systems and subterranean nuclear labs with Divine Strake. If this amount is deemed satisfactory, then all they have to do is calculate which size NUCLEAR WEAPON is equivalent to 700 tons of TNT or whatever explosive they choose. See, simple. Gets them around the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, doesn't raise the 'alarm bells' of Americans (cuz this test will NEVER be reported in the main stream media so 99% of Americans will never even know it happened), and those who DO find out about it can be lied to and told no, they really AREN'T testing a 700 ton conventional explosive (although we already know that no airplane in the WORLD could deliver such a massive payload.)

So lets think about this. Our goverment is going to test which sized NUCLEAR WEAPON they are going to drop on Iran and they're going to do it right under our goddamn noses. For those poor bastards who like in Nevada, or downwind from this massive explosion, the effects will be more "hands on." Considering they plan on detonating Divine Strake at the Nevada Test Range where for YEARS they blew up hundreds of nuclear weapons, I'm sure such a catastrophic explosion being carried out on soil where nuclear weapons WERE exploded will unearth a whole hell of alot of buried radioactive dirt, rock, etc etc. What size cloud will this explosion cause? How far will this potentially radioactive cloud travel? What will be the health effects of such a potentially radioactive cloud? Have the people of Nevada been told ANYTHING by the government? Considering the secrecy of this admini$tration to date, I'm sure they have been told little to nothing. And what they HAVE been told, I'm sure, is a lie.

So what further proof do we need? Do we have to actually WAIT for the mushroom cloud to loom large over Iran before we realize what this government has in store for not only the Iranians but for ourselves as well? Will I awaken some morning in the fall (before the elections, of course) and discover the United States of America has dropped "tactical" NUCLEAR WEAPONS on Iran? Will there a be a "terrorist" attack here in this country BEFORE they launch this attack? A terrorist attack which this government can convienently blame on Iran and thus justify (in the minds of the eternally terrified American sheeple) a nuclear strike? Are we really that fucking stupid? And will the American people rally behind the republicans who so blindly support this ridiculously stupid president? My guess, based on their previous fear induced support, is yes.

This country is run by a raving religious maniac who believes that by causing unprecedented turmoil in the Middle East he will somehow facilitate the return of JESUS. And he's not alone in this insane belief. Our only hope is that these dominionist motherfuckers will decide to expidite their appointment with the almighty and OFF themselves before carrying out such a sickening, murderous, world ending plan. Where is Jim Jones when you need him? Save the rest of us the time and agony of this plan and go meet your Jesus at your own hands. But considering the ego's and hubris of the parties involved, the chances of this happening are nil. If they're gonna go, the rest of us must tag along for the ride. Terrifying.

NEVER IN MY LIFE

How could the Serpent be purposely put in charge of the country?

- Immortal Technique

When I was a kid I remember going through this phase of being afraid of the Soviet Union. I distinctly remember sitting in my room (in the 80's) and worrying that they would fire nuclear weapons at us and kill everyone in America. My mom explained to me the concept of MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction. She said the Soviets wouldn't be so stupid as to start a nuclear war because they would just as surely be wiped out in the ensuing counterstrike. And I remember her telling me that ALTHOUGH Ronald Reagan was an "asshole" he was not stupid enough to destroy the country in which he, too, had to live. Bu$h, apparently, IS that stupid.

Fast forward 20 years or so. Never in my life did I think that it would be MY COUNTRY, the United States of America, to whom I stood every morning for 13 years and pledged ALLEGIANCE to, that would ever again nuke another country FIRST. Never. I knew about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but this was in the past for me. The distant past. And with the resulting arms race that occured during the Cold War, I never believed such a strike would ever again be necessary. Not once did it occur to me that WE, the GOOD GUYS, the bastion of freedom and goodwill around the world, that WE would EVER nuke another country. I was wrong.

Now I can't stop thinking about it. It seems inconceivable to me that my country is actually pursuing plans on dropping NUCLEAR WEAPONS on a country that has neither attacked us, threatened to attack us or posess a nuclear weapon themselves. I just can't wrap my mind around this possibility. It's simply beyond comprehension for me. It's insanity.

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea, that we should "turn Iran to glass" or some other chest-thumping, "arm chair general" statement, has no clue. Not one. You have no idea what a nuclear strike will do in Iran AND throughout the Middle East and what the reprocussions back here in your mighty homeland will be. If you think it'll be all shits and giggles and you'll get to see pretty mushroom cloud explosions that you can masturbate to, you're insane. And your childish joy and masturbation session will be short lived. Do you, now think HARD about this question, do you think FOR ONE SECOND that NOTHING catastrophic would occur here in America after such a strike? Do you care? Or are you simply so fucking uneducated and dimwitted that you truly don't think beyond that first mushroom cloud? I hear these people on reich-wing talk radio. The tough talkers. "Why have em if you ain't gonna use em" is a phrase I've heard a FEW times. Are these people incapable of thinking more than 5 minutes ahead? Like a stupid teenager who thinks it's a good idea to burn down an empty building, but never pauses to think of the consequences. I feel as if we are dealing with a bunch of fast thinking, irrational teenagers on this issue.

Since September 11th, 2001 all I've heard from Bu$h and every other republican who opened their mouth was "TERROR." Terror lurked behind every corner. The terrorists were waiting for the right moment to strike. Thank God that the Democrats weren't in charge on 9/11. Bu$h will keep us safe. We'll gladly give up our Constitutional rights so Bu$h can keep us safe. It's all albout safety for you guys, isnt it? Democrats are soft on safety, they won't protect you from terrorists. If the Democrats take over in November all the stuff Bu$h has done to keep us safe will be changed.

I beg of you, PLEASE tell me ONE...THING George W. Bu$h has done to keep this country safe. Name one thing. That's all I want. Because I've heard so much about this supposed "safety" but I can't seem to think of ONE THING this man has done to "ensure" such safety. Was it the PDB's Bu$h ignored concerning "Osama Bin Laden determined to strike inside USA?" Did that keep us safe? Was it Bu$h ignoring the PDB prior to 9/11 that predicted airplanes were going to be used as "weapons?" THAT didn't keep us safe, did it? Was it Bu$h making up intelligence about Iraq having WMD's and selling this to the easily influenced American people thus engaing us in a war with a country that posed no threat, never attacked us and that HAD no WMD's? THAT'S not keeping us safe either. Was it Bu$h infuriating the entire Muslim world by attacking a Muslim country and killing fellow muslims? THAT isn't keeping us safe. How about when the Democrats in Congress wanted to increase the funding for port security so that every single container that came into our ports was scanned (instead of the 5% that's scanned now) but the Republicans wouldn't even allow the bill to the floor? THAT'S not making us safer. Or when, after 9/11, all chemical companies were supposed to tighten their security around their plants but they balked because it would "cost them too much money" (BOO HOO!) so they went to Karl Rove and he had the bill removed from consideration. How nice. But that's not keeping Americans safe either. Let me ask you this....where is our NATIONAL GUARD? Remember those guys? They GUARD THE NATION in case a catastrophe event occurs here on OUR SHORES? Where are they? Oh, that's right, our NATIONAL GUARD are exactly where they should be. They're in IRAQ.

Remember the Anthrax "attacks" that killed a few people after 9/11? Right around the time Bu$h was trying to pass the initial Patriot Act through the Senate and (mysteriously) the two senators who received Anthrax in the mail were the two Democratic senators who were holding up the passing of Bu$h's precious Patriot Act? Remember that? How everyone was afraid to open their mail? Did we ever catch that guy? Are they still even looking for him? No. So how is THAT keeping us safe? How's the border coming along? How many illegal aliens have strolled across our border, unimpeded? I believe the figure is somewhere between 11 and 15 MILLION. Immediately after 9/11, when all the terror assessments were telling us we were gonna be "hit again" did Bu$h and company IMMEDIATELY shut down the border? Did they send the National Guard down there? Cuz if 11 to 15 MILLION MEXCIANS have crossed, I'm sure one or two muslim fundamentalists have surely figured this out too. Don't you think? So tell me again, how's the border thing going? Do you feel safe by Bu$h's handling of the border? No?

I could go on ad infinitum, but why should I bother. You get the gist. This man is a fucking JOKE. He has done no more to keep us safe than I have. He has just scared you into believing he has. If they tell you every other day for 4 years that a terrorist attack is imminent and when one doesn't occur you simply believe they're busy "preventing" them. You see the blockades of SWAT teams on the streets in NYC every once in a while and you believe they're doing something. They were busy doping something alright. They were busy stealing your money, running up the defecit and getting our soldiers killed in Iraq for no reason.

And now they're busy preparing to drop nuclear weapons on Iran. Are you going to brush this one aside too? As you have every other criminal act this man has perpetrated upon us? Are you a glutton for punishment or are you simply too egotistical to admit you were wrong? We HAVE put the Serpent in charge of the country. George Bu$h is insane. He's a religious maniac who believes that by causing world war three in the middle east, JESUS will come back. He has a messiah complex. And that's simply insane. This man MUST be removed from office before this strike occurs. HE MUST BE! A nuclear strike upon Iran will destroy this country. OPEC could refuse to sell us oil or up the price to $150 a barrel. The Iranians could block the Strait of Hormuz. The Chinese, FRIENDLY with the Iranians, could simply tell us they want their money back. And guess what.....this country goes broke over night. Or Iran could call upon Hezbollah to strike us here at home. Knowing how fucking scared you idiots are of "terrorism," the knowledge that Hezbollah WILL attack us here should be enough to wake you dumb bastards up.

We have two choices. One....the people rise up and reclaim their government (my personal favorite.) But since 99% of you big talkers are fucking cowards (chickenhawks) at heart, this will never work. So our only other chance of stopping this armageddon is the military. If the military is able to stand up and refuse to act upon such an order or, if necessary, take hold of the government themselves, we may be able to stop this countdown before time runs out. There is already talk that many high ranking Generals are preparing to demand Bu$h pull the nuclear option off the table. Let's hope this comes to fruition. And if they demand and he refuses, let's hope they realize the time has come for them to step to the plate and remove the Serpent from office.

Give me a gangstress, a bitch that don't take no shit. I need a gangsta bitch, a bitch that's armed and dangerous

- Yukmouth

I felt I needed to sure up security at the Bunker this week. Two pitbulls is a good start, but if you were to meet MY pitbulls, the last thing they would instill in you would be a feeling of fear or terror. Raised like I would raise a child (scary!) they are complete babies and the smaller one is scared of his own shadow. If you raise your voice and scream at him, he arches his back, sticks his tail between his legs, stands on his tip toes and shakes like a leaf. Literally shakes. His eyes become huge black orbs of fear and sometimes, like the time I smacked him with a paper towl roll on his butt, he hyperventilates. No joke. I have to pick him up like an infant and coo in his ear to get him to calm down. Sometimes you have to lie down on the bed with him and rub his belly. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C.

Both sleep in bed with me, alternating who gets the pillow and who gets the feet. They usually start out on the couch in the living room (the couch they're not allowed on) and make their way into my room at some time during the night or early morning. I will wake up horizontal across my own bed with the dogs spooning each other and their heads on MY pillow. Bastards. I hate them 94% of the time. The other 6% we're fighting. The older one (he's three) is the REAL bastard in the house. He's brilliant and bad. A very dangerous combination. He's big on "retaliatory peeing" which pretty much explains itself. The little one (he's 1+1/2) is just stupid. SWEET as a pea in a pod, but stupid. REALLY stupid. Painfully stupid.

It always makes me laugh when I take the small one to the petstore and I see people scoop up their kids or grab their little dogs and head for the hills. Here is this little red nose pitbull, 44 lbs MAX, with the biggest damn smile on his face 24/7 just desperately trying to play with everything and everyone in sight. And people run from him. Once at the dog park some woman asked me "What are you gonna do when he freaks out and attacks you?" And she was serious. I responded "What are YOU gonna do when I freak out and attack you?" She stormed off. I threw my head back and laughed and laughed and laughed........

So you see, as secure as the Bunker of Secular Utopia might be, there is a way to break through ANY defense, no matter how good you think it is. And should such a breech occur, I don't think my dogs (either one of them) would rush to kill the intruder. In fact, I think they'd rush in the other direction. The little one would probably require an inhaler when it was all over (if he didn't die from a heart attack.) So I thought long and hard for about a week, trying to think up something ELSE I could purchase that would make me feel safer at night. Something that I could rely on to attack at a moments notice. And attack viciously. Then it came to me. What creature is more vicious, more violent, more bloodthirsty? What creature stops a mans heart cold with terror upon sight? What living creature is more deadly than a ........................KITTEN!

YES!!! Brilliant, I thought! A kitten is precisely what you need. A killer attack kitten. A fully armed, deadly venomous kitten. So I looked in the only place one would look for an attack kitten...the yellow pages. I looked under "Security" first and came up dry. Than I looked under "Alarm Systems" and again pulled a zero. So them I proceeded to search under "Guns and Ammo" and then "Home Protection" and was unsucessful with both those attempts. Exasperated, I finally flipped to the last idea I had. Although I knew it, too, would result in nothing, I gave it a try anyway. Licking my pointer finger, I turned rapidly through the yellow pages until I came to "Pets." I know, stupid thought, but I was out of ideas. Straining to see the small writing, I called the first place in the book called "Kittie City."

"Hello, Kittie City, my name's Andre, how may I help you?" came the voice on the other end of the line. "Andre, yes" I replied. "Do you have any kittens in stock?" There was a pause. Andre must have been looking through his inventory sheets. "Do we have an KITTENS in stock?" he replied, sounding a bit nasty I must say. "This is KITTIE CITY. ALL we have are kittens." Oh, kinda obvious. My bad. "Sorry. Do you have any attack kittens?" I waited for him to launch into his inventory of attack kittens. I wondered if they had any Siamese attack kittens. They're supposedly the worst. "Attack kittens? What, exactly, is an ATTACK KITTEN?" Jeez, did he have to be such a DICK about the whole thing? I guess they're not allowed to "tell" the "general public" if they have attack kittens in stock. Like when I call the head shop in the city and ask if they have any bongs. They always tell ya you have to come in and "talk to them." I got the point. "Ok Andre, I got ya. I'll be right down" and hung up the phone.

Arriving at Kittie City about 30 minutes later, I entered and saw there were kittens everywhere. I decided to walk slowly and make no quick moves which might invite an attack. I walked straight up and with my arms at my side, fingers curled up in a relaxed fist. I wouldn't want any of these attack kittens to take my fingers as a threat and tear them off my body. I must admit I was shaking slightly. I approached a young gentleman behind the counter and asked him if I could "see" some of the kittens in the store. "Sure" he replied. "Just pick up anyone you want. If you have any questions, I'll be over here cleaning out this cage." Brave fellow, I thought. Getting in there with those attack kittens and cleaning out their "house." Brave or insane.

Slowly, I approached one large cage of attack kittens. My breathing hastened and I felt a slight sweat break out on my forehead. The cage was about 5 feet high and about 4 feet wide. And it was teeming with attack kittens. There were about 10 of them in there, each trying to kill one another. They were all locked in combat and there was a lot of blood curdling "mewing." In the cage there were multiple "levels" or floors and on each floor were two attack kittens fighting to the death. On the bottom of the cage was a large, multi-hued ball of attack kittens all entangled and "mewing" viciously at each other. One or two were busy climbing up the side of the cage free style (aka no ropes or other form of mechanical assistance.) How daring!

Slowly and with great trepidation, I slid open the bolt that kept the door to this den of terror closed. All I could think of was one of these maniac killer creatures lunging for the door and ripping my throat out. I was sure Andre wasn't trained in treating a full bleed out. I paused. The "mewing" had stopped and 20 stone cold killer eyes were focused straight on me. The fighting seemed to have all paused mid punch, kick, bite, pile driver. Visibly shaking, I knelt down and peeked through the open cage door. The attack kittens were all solid grey or solid black. This must have been a mixed combination of two different litters. They had, I assured myself, killed their mothers and ended up in here, together. This wire cage was probably the feline equivalent of the "hole" at San Quentin or Pelican Bay. I was now eye to eye with 10 killers, sentenced to this "cage" for their vile crime of matracide.

By this point, Andre must have noticed (or smelt) my terror and came over to offer his "expertise" in handling such highly volatile and easily inflamed creatures. "Do you see one you like?" he asked, smiling? I guess prison guards smile too, sometimes. They get used to it. "Um, that little black one seems sufficient for the task at hand." I stood up and slowly stepped back from the gaping door of the "hole." Andre, brave beyond reason, reached his hand into the viper pit and grabbed for the black attack kitten which I had just pointed out. Right before he was able to grab it the attack kitten, sensing the end was near, dove over the side of the ledge it was perched on and landed, head first, in its water bowl. What a brave little fella, I thought. Choosing to end it all by drowning itself in its water bowl instead of meeting its end at the hands of Andre. I felt a sudden surge of respect for the soaking little black ball of fur. Cute as could be.

Oh my god, I thought. Don't let it fool you! That's how it works! These attack kittens have a magical spell they put on humans. We fall under their spell of absolute cuteness and then they take over our lives and destroy our homes! Breath breath breath! Breathing heavily and bent over at the waist, I slowly glanced up and saw Andre standing there holding the vicious trickster in his hands. I looked Andre carefully up and down, searching for the inevitable attack wound I knew he suffered catching and cornering the attack kitten. Miraculously, he appeared intact and blood free. The black attack kitten stared at me with these HUGE expressive green eyes. It's head was smaller than a golf ball. Oh my god was it cute. I felt my heart start to melt and my wariness begin to fade. Then I caught myself. "DON'T LET IT FOOL YOU, AJ!!" I screamed on the inside. "This son of a bitch would rather kill you than see you leave here with it."

Andre, bravely and valiently stroking the attack kittens head, quickly flipped it upside down and announced "It's a girl." Shit. Even worse. Women are totally bitchy (I should know, I am one) and a bitchy serial killer must be hell to deal with. I decided this attack kitten was simply too dangerous to take home and as I started to tell Andre he needed to immediately put that one back and select another, the attack kitten opened its tiny mouth and "mewed" at me. My heart melted. I felt it dissolve into a viscous mixture of blood and muscle and run into my abdomen.

On the way home, the little attack kitten sat boldly in my lap and stared up at me. The whole ride home I pictured her diving upward and grabbing onto my face with those razor sharp kitten teeth and tearing my eyes outta my head with her deadly "Nightmare on Elmstreet" claws. Thankfully, she remained seated and allowed me to pick her up when we parked the car and prepared to enter the Bunker.

Upon entry, after giving the required special secular knock and repeating 3 times "Rush Limbaugh is a drug addled freak," I placed the attack kitten in front of the older dogs cage. She sat there and stared in at him, a look of total contempt plastered upon her minute face. The dog stared back and then, slowly, started to sob. Increasing in both volume and tempo, the sobbing soon became an all out wail. Still, the attack kitten sat. Now THIS is what I was looking for in a guard animal. Sitting face to face with imminent death and staring it down. This kitten was a THUG.

Wanting to further test her "thugness" I knelt in front of the dogs cage and started hollering over his incessant wailing "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU DAMN FOOL! HOW ARE YOU POSSIBLY SCARED OF A KITTEN!!??" It WAS an attack kitten, I reasoned (over the screams) but this dunce sitting in a cage didn't know that. Or did he? Was that why he was screaming like this? Could he sense the murderous rage that was pent up in this little monster sitting directly in front of him and, more or less, staring him down? I decided to test this theory. I unlatched the dogs cage and cracked the door so he could see it was now open and that he could come out. He didn't. He just slid further back into the dark recesses of his protective lair. Punk. I would own the only two punk ass coward pitbulls ever born.

Then the attack kitten started to stir. She stood her little body up, arched her back, stretched and waltzed her tiny ass into the dogs cage. I couldn't believe my eyes! In she went. The sobbing stopped. Silence! Was the dog dead? Had this miniscule death machine killed the dog with one quick blow to the throat? Five minutes passed. Then ten. Still not a peep from the cage. Tears came to my eyes.

Oh how I loved that dog! How stupid of me to sacrifice him to the attack kitten. What a stupid fucking idea! Beyond consolation, I collapsed on the floor at the entrance to my now dead dogs cage. Tears were streaming down my face like a waterfall. I thought my heart had actually broken in half, and the pain in my chest only reassured me of this. Curled in a ball like a baby, I turned on my side and made myself face the inevitable. Where would I bury him? What would my MOM say? Oh my god, she's gonna kill me. She LOVES that damn idiotic urinator. Eyes clenched tight like a vice, I had to force myself to open them. Before light even registered on my optic nerve, I pictured the scene. My beautiful asshole dog laying in a pool of his own blood while that heartless, sociopathic attack kitten drank from the steaming pool with her forked tongue.

Then I saw it. The light struck my optic nerve and the vision was transfered from my eyes to my brain. There in the cage lay the dog, still alive and breathing. Curled up between his front paws lay the attack kitten who had her eyes closed and a very small, nearly inaudible rumble of a purr eminated from her 8 inch long body. The dog was busy licking her beautiful shiny black fur and his eyes were similarly closed. I was gazing in on an all out love fest. I was furious.

I felt like calling Andre at Kittie City and demanding a refund. They sold me a bogus attack kitten! That's a crime. Like selling someone a BB gun and telling them it's a 0.357 magnum. This was false advertising at its most blatant. And it was dangerous. What if I had relied on this attack kitten to protect me and my pitbulls from a Bunker invasion by christian fundamentalist freaks? Boy would Kittie City have been liable if such an invasion had occured and I had been forced to read actual passages from a bible. I quiver at the mere thought.

I picked up the now sleeping bogus attack kitten and placed her in the pink terrycloth kitten bed I had purchased her (hey, she's still a girl. And little girls need pink beds.) I read some websites and listened to some tunes then went to bed myself. About 3:30 am I head something stirring in my bedroom but wrote it off as one of the dogs. I went back to sleep but was awakened about a half an hour later by the sound of fabric being torn. My room was pitch black and I couldn't see squat. I sat perfectly still and listened. I could have sworn I felt hot breath on the back of my neck, but my dogs were nowhere to be seen. They must be out on their couch (the one they're not allowed on.) I lay back down and stared up into the blackness when suddenly a warm furry body landed on my face and grabbed each ear with a razor claw and wrapped two razor clawed back legs around either side of my jaw. I was wearing a kitten as a mask! I screamed but the scream was muffled by the bogus attack kittens fat little belly. Then as fast as it attached itself, it jumped off and disappeared into the darkness. SHIT! I forgot that kittens (attack kittens or not) are nocturnal. I flipped on the bedside light and stared, dumbstruck, at the destruction that stretched before my eyes. I had invited a beast into my home. What had I been thinking?

In the morning, after attempting to clean up the mess the bogus attack kitten had left for me, I signed my dogs up for guard dog training classes. One of these bastards was gonna protect this house, whether they like it or not. Well, to make a long story short, the little dog had some sort of a nervous breakdown on his first day and was excused with a "medical" and the older dog, hating being told what to do by ANYONE, refused to do ANYTHING the instructor told him (he wouldn't even look at the guy. It was ridiculous) and on the third day he peed on the instructors leg and was "withdrawn" from class. Maybe I can get a ferret. Don't THEY bite?

THE ANSWER?

I can't drive.......FIFTY FIVE!!

- Sammy Hagar

That bad ass crotch rocket pictured above is the new Yamaha R6. I went and test drove one today at a dealership down the street from the Bunker. I guarantee you that bitch could do a smooth 100mph is first gear. Which is why I'm thinking twice about purchasing one. I'm quite sure I would die within a month or two (maybe even days) after purchasing that monster. It's simply an engine with a place for your ass. I popped it into first gear and literally TOOK...OFF. That sonic boom heard throughout the country around 2:00pm was me, hurtling through traffic at breakneck speed. I was like a missle streaking down the road. A yellow and black missle with a human being (me) hanging on for dear life. My greatest fear was accidentally punching the front brake thus sending my body rocketing into the atmosphere. It was a total adrenalin rush (I can see why people get obsessed with driving them) but the raw power of that machine was ridiculous. And it's only a 600cc! I can't even imagine the larger 1000cc! When I returned from blasting up and down the road, they asked me if I wanted to test drive the 1000 but I said NO. NO NO NO NO NO. NO WAY. HELL NO. They laughed. I didn't.

Along with the R6 I also checked out a couple of cruisers and a scooter (Vespa.) But NOTHING I drove was as thrilling as that R6! The cruiser was nice, and the seat was super comfy (it was also much lower to the ground) and it was all chromed out. I felt a bit like a pimp sitting there idiling in traffic, this massive chrome monster purring beneath me. I felt a strong desire to slap some ho's around and carry a large gold goblet. The Vespa was too slow and there is no way you could drive one on a major highway (top speed was only around 50mph.) If I did purchase a cruiser, I would ALSO have to buy one of those vintage WWI German Army helmets with the spike on top of it. Me, my cruiser, the helmet and a rifle slung over my shoulder. And I'm off to the revolution.

I haven't made up my mind yet, but the rapidly rising price of gas is adding to my desperate search for an alternative form of transportation. I'm just not sure that a rocket strapped between my legs is the answer. Hey, isn't that outlawed in some southern state?

Still having trouble believeing the sacks of shit that have entrenched themselves in the White House lied to us in order to gain your unwavering support for an invasion of Iraq? Then I ask that you watch the latest piece on CBS's "60 Minutes" where Ed Bradley explains to us exactly HOW our worthless, criminal government blatantly, flat out fucking MADE SHIT UP about Iraq and their purported purchase of yellow cake uranium from Niger. If you missed Sunday's show, here is the link to the website so you can watch the viedo for yourself. Enjoy. And please fasten your head securely to your shoulders with industrial strength duct tape before viewing and have a vomit bucket within spewing distance.

After watching the show last night on CBS I went temporarily insane (again) grabbed my gat and took to the streets where I proceeded to shoot out all 'W04' stickers from the backs of car windows and I licked off a coupla shots at the gas station price board (now proclaiming $3.22 for REGULAR) for good measure.

Who's going to the anti-war march this Saturday (April 29th) in New York City? I hope that as many of you who can possibly make it DO attend. The website for the march is www.april29.org

Ya'll ain't shit, and none of your peoples are shit

- Outerspace

Well it seems my friend I left in charge of moderating comments to this blog had a momentary lapse of reason and allowed some Reich-wing comments to "slip through" while I was indisposed at work. She even went so far as to answer some of them in a vain attempt to "reason" with them. This, I informed her, is a VI-O-LA-TION. I do not care what the reich has to say. They are beyond reason, brainwashed and ignorant. But being the good friend that I am, I have allowed her one final chance to redeem herself. If I catch her messing up and attemtping to reason with fools again, she's done. Eviscerated and tossed from the confines of the bunker. She knows better, I'm sure of it.

So once again, I will REMIND the reich-wingers who, for some unknown reason, read a blog in which they loath and believe written by a liberal pussy who wants to see both America AND Christianity destroyed, to not bother wasting their time NOR mine by attempting to post comments on this blog. Such comments will be neither read NOR posted. I'm sure you guys have something better to do with your time and I'm QUITE sure you can find a blog that's more in tune with your ideology..

** In case you're interested, I updated the post on the Revolutionary Soldier and added a pic of his gravesite. I went to the park today after work to walk the dogs and I hiked up the hill and took the picture with my cameraphone. Sorry the resolution isn't great, but I'm cheap and purchased a cheap cellphone.

This fantastic piece of PhotoShopping is compliments of Craig. Notice the bold Nazi pin affixed to Ruth's lapel and the multi-swastika charm necklace. And holding fast to Ruth's insane christo-fascist beliefs, Craig has added a charcoal swastika to her forehead, a-la Charles Manson. This is prescisely what Ruth Malhotra looks like behind the facade of "Christian Acceptance." When the makeup is stripped away, the cameras are turned off and the curtains pulled back, Ruth Malhotra is nothing more than a Nazi. I hope this is a title she carries proudly, for she has earned it.

This next PhotoShopping feat was brought to us by Aaron. Aaron stuck to the simple AUTHENTIC Nazi Party pin to demonstrate Ruth's hidden agenda. Actually, it's not hidden at all. Anyone who goes to court to PURPOSELY allow them to harass and stalk people with whom they morally disagree (in the name of GOD ALMIGHTY) is an all out NAZI and, quite frankly, INSANE. It's true that many Nazi Party members stuck with the simple "Party Pin" when appearing in public. All the regalia and swagger wasn't really necessary after the Nazi's took over power in the 1930's. The simple decoration of the "party pin" sufficed in the cirlces they traveled in where everyone else WAS a Nazi, like Ruth and her putrid band of Christo-fanatic followers.

Pictured above is Ruth Malhotra, the esteemed senior at the Georgia Institute of Technology. This true christian is suing to allow her to discriminate against homosexuals. APPARENTLY, anti-harassment laws at her college are an "unacceptable infringement on her right to religious expression." NICE! In other words, her ability to practice chrsitanity is impeded cuz she can't castigate and attack every homosexual in her vicinity. Ah yes, THAT is what christianity is truly about. Here's the link so you guys can read about Ruth's noble attempts to free herself from the chains of "religious oppression."

I chose Easter to write about good ole Ruthie, a day when ya'll are supposed to be celebrating Jesus' (quite a peaceful individual from everything I've read) supposed ascent into heaven. Maybe you should ALSO take this time to look long and hard at what's occurring within your religion. Christianity has been highjacked by psychopaths and freaks, much like Islam has. Is it not time for the REAL christians, the peace loving individuals who follows Jesus's "message" to help the poor, turn the other cheek and love your neighbor, to make a stand and run these fundamentalist maniacs out? If you don't, and soon, christianity will be viewed with the same disdain and contempt as islam now is.

Instead of dedicating her time to hate and oppression, Ruth should really work on her oily ass face. Exxon Mobil should consider drilling on her face in order to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. Ruth's got enough there for at least three years, don't ya think? Ruth - use an astringent. It'll help clear that mess right up, I promise. Oh and please remove the flag from MY country from your lapel. America stands for freedom and democracy. For acceptance, understanding and welcoming. NOT for hate, prejudice and oppression. She should really have a Nazi flag pinned to her coat.

Someone down at Gerogia Tech should kick her fucking ass. I would if I went to school down there. I'd show her what harassment was. See if she likes it. She wants to call people names and insult them and generally stalk them, fine! I'd do the exact same to her. But Ruth would call foul and go running and sobbing to the authorities. Hate is not a one way street, Ruthie. If its good for the FAGS Ruthie, than it's good for you, too. This stupid bitch is giving the enitre school a bad name, not to mention her frightening religion. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be able to punch Ruth in the face, my fist would slide right off. I'd have to think about another means of attack. Oh well.

I'm not even going to rant further on this, you've heard it all before. This woman is a christo-fascist and fundamentalist christianity is the biggest threat to this country today (aside from the impending nuclear strike against Iran.) I am embarrassed that Ruth Malhotra considers herself an American.

I spent MY Easter getting crucified at the gas pump. Today I paid $3.03 (actually $3.04 when you round up) for REGULAR. I put $10.00 worth of gas in my car and then nailed myself to the pump. I remained there until the cops arrived and gave me a summons. I was thinking of having a friend nail me to the larger sign by the roadside that states the insane gas prices. I could hang right there in the middle, letting my head droop to my chest as the blood squirted from my hands and feet, telling of the agony of such outrageous prices. I thought it was fitting. We got as far as putting me in a loin cloth and gathering the required crucifixion materials (hammer, nails, ladder, gallon of vodka and thorny crown we made from beef jerky purchased at the gas stations mini-mart) but decided against it when we witnessed how flimsy those gas station price boards really are. I wouldn't want the board to collapse into traffic while I'm nailed up there, wearing only a loin cloth and a beef jerky crown. So we returned, forlorn, to the bunker where we proceeded to drink all the vodka through improvised beef jerky straws. I'm still wearing the loin cloth.

**Anyone good with photoshop? I have Paint Shop but I havent learned to use it yet. Otherwise I would have put that nazi flag pin on Ruth's coat myself. If any of ya'll are up for the challenge, I would love to see it.

-Danger to the System

Having sufficiently recovered from my back tragedy, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent the day at Valley Forge National Park. Anyone unfamiliar with Valley Forge, I will provide you with a short history.

After declaring independence from the British Empire in 1776, the British Army (already ashore in many places throughout the country) decided to beat down this apparent rebellion. The American Army, then in the first days of its infancy, was lead by George Washington. This ragtag band of American citizens picked up their muskets, said goodbye to their loved ones and headed out to fight for what they believed in.....freedom from the King of England.

In the winter of 1777 (December, to be exact) this ragtag army, ten to twelve thousand strong, arrived at Valley Forge to quarter for the winter. In 1777 Valley Forge was considered out in the middle on nowhere. It was mostly farms and open land. Thirty miles from Philadelphia, in an era devoid of cars and rapid transportation as we know it now, Valley Forge was considered relatively safe from attack by British forces. But life at Valley Forge was not easy.

The winter was brutal and these citizen soldiers were without proper equipment. They built log huts (many which still remain today) and dug trenches throughout the entire vast area. They built redoubts and artillery parks to defend themselves in case of attack. Their clothes were inadequate for such a winter and many men wore rags on their feet instead of boots, leaving a bloody trail whever they walked. Food was scarce and raiding parties were sent all the way to New Jersey to obtain cattle. But still they persisted. "Perhaps one of Washington's soldiers said it best when he described his reasons for not abandoning the field despite the harsh conditions: 'We had engaged in the defense of our wounded country and . . . we were determined to persevere.' Private Joseph Plumb Martin, 8th Connecticut regiment, December 1777."

Two thousand men died at Valley Forge (many of these deaths were from starving) and thousands of others were sickened by the cold, poor water, cholera and typhus. In June of 1778, the tattered remnants of the Continental Army walked out of Valley Forge for the last time. From there they went on to new Jersey, New York and then, infamy.

I have spent many hours scouring this sacred land. Land of the American patriot. Land our forefathers strode upon and died on in order to give me the right to rant on this blog today. Since I was a child, Valley Forge Park has been one of my favorite places to visit. Aside from my years spent in college, I have never lived farther than 50 miles away from the park. The park is a stunningly beautiful place. ACRES upon ACRES of open fields and dense forest. Deer roam freely, free from fear of hunters and speeding automobiles. So vast is the park that no matter how many times I have been there I find something new every time I visit. Today was no exception.

I parked by the encampment of General Anthony Wayne and the Pennsylvania Army and walked through the field that spread out in front of me like an ocean of green and brown. As I walked, I thought of the sacrifice of the men who camped here so long ago. These were men who truly believed in a dream and were more than ready to lay down their lives to see this dream come to fruition. Packs of deer fed on the grass all around me. A pickup baseball game was being played in the distance and the happy screams of young children could be heard resonating throughout the park. Being a holiday weekend, the park was filled with joggers, bikers, people walking their dogs and picnickers. but the sheer vastness of the park gives one the sense of being alone.

I continued on through the field, looking at the ground and at the sky and at the mountain that rose about 1/2 mile in front of me all the while deep in thought. Finally, I arrived at the edge of the mountain and I proceeded up into the woods. After picking though the woods for some time, I noticed two flags waving in the breeze ahead of me. Having never seen these flags before I walked over to them and read the weather worn sign that described the area I had just stumbled upon. "GRAVE OF UNKNOWN REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER" the well worn sign proclaimed. I stared at this grave for a long moment. To the right of the grave, directly below the sign someone had placed a porcelain figurine, about 10 inches high, of a revolutionary war soldier, replete with tri-corner hat, over coat and musket, standing guard over this lonely gravesite for eternity.

I sat down beside this grave and looked in the direction from which I had just come. The field was beautiful in the afternoon sun and the log huts of the Pennsylvania Regiment were clearly visible in the distance. There was no other sound except for the chirping of birds, the rustle of leaves as some small creature darted from one hole to another and the sound of the wind blowing gently through the trees. Here this American soldier had lain for 228 years. He had seen his friends depart and head on to fight the British. And for years after that he had been alone. It was not until many many many years after the war had ended that the land was recognized as a historical site and the tourists and day trippers began to flood the area.

Had anyone told him his sacrifice had not been for naught? Did he "know" somehow that his friends, his neighbors had been victorious and that his death, along with the deaths of thousands of others, had lead to the establishment of the greatest democracy in the world? Was this man proud of what he had done? Was he even old enough to be called a man?

And then the anger started. I felt it begin in my temple as a dull throb began to beat behind my eyes. I was sitting next to an American citizen who had laid down his life here on our own soil so that I could live as I do today. No other war this country has fought has so directly affected our way of life today. If it were not for these brave farmers, shopkeepers, carpenters, steelsmiths, etc our way of life would be vastly different. This man/boy had died so that I could speak up when I felt injustices were occurring in this country. So I could march in the streets in protest. So that I could chose to worship or NOT worship as I pleased. So that all men are created equal. And yet we/I had not taken advantage of the power these brave souls had given to us. I felt as if I were failing him. That WE, this COUNTRY, were failing him.

This is when I started to cry. I really did, no shame here. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" I repeated to the grave over and over again. If only the people (US!) for whom you had fought 200 years ago had the same courage! The simple shopkeepers and farmers from his era wouldn't put up with the shit that's occurring in this country today. No chance. They would have stood up long ago and put an end to this "takeover." Revolution was in their blood. It coursed through their veins and provided them with the courage to stand up and scream "NO MORE!"

Greed runs through our veins. Greed and the lust for power. Years of relatively easy lives has softened us. We no more demand justice, unless we are somehow directly affected. And even then we are easily put down, paid off or shut up. A nation of cowards, content to have an all volunteer military do OUR dirty work. If it were up to the "people" to mobilize and do this governments bidding, we (they) would fail miserably. Everyone wants SOMETHING but is not willing to sacrifice ANYTHING to get it. We expect everything to be hand delivered to us. And for this we have been taken over by corporatists and insane dominionists. My dead soldier is spinning in his grave.

With the imminent threat of nuking Iran it is time for the people to rise. We cannot wait until AFTER the fact. Then it will be too late. If we attack Iran, Iran will attack Israel. And so begins World War III. And World War III will not be fought with muskets, horse drawn cannon and bayonet's. Is this what the people want? What is the moment you will choose to rise and retake our once great country? Will you wait, as I expect, until suicide bombers are boarding our trains and buses everyday? Will you wait until a nuclear weapon is detonated here in this country? Even then will you rise, or will you hide in your basements and wait for this corrupted government to take care of you? (Never mind that it was they who got you into this mess in the first place.)

Italy ousted their dictator Benito Mussolini (see picture above) but only AFTER he sided with Adolf Hitler and actively involved them in World War II. How many Italian citizens were killed in the ensuing invasion of THEIR homeland? Why did they not rise as soon as they saw the direction their country was headed? How many deaths could have been prevented had they simply reclaimed their government BEFORE shit got out of hand?

But I am only one person. I cannot do shit by myself. I can write and rant all I want, but that will not accomplish what needs to be accomplished. I cannot take down this cabal of criminals and murderers on my own. If I could, I would be a super hero. But I'm just one person, like my soldier who lies in the grave beside me. The difference is, that soldier had COMPANIONS in the revolution. Citizens he had never before met but who heard the same call as he. And instead of waiting for "someone else" to do it, they ALL rose, at the same time, and reclaimed this country from the British.

I will fight for this country, but I cannot fight alone. I wait everyday for the cry of the people to awaken me and send me running out into the streets with MY musket and tri-corner hat. I wait for that inspirational person who will speak for us. Who will cry from the rooftops and scream "foul" everytime he or she opens their mouth. That person is what's needed to spur the people on. Without him, we are a giant ship drifting aimlessly on a vast sea. No direction, no power to steer the ship back on course. Easily overlooked on the vastness of the sea. We need a captain.

When this happens, the people will have someone to follow into battle. And follow him I will, regardless of the consequences. This is a promise I made to my soldier in his grave. I swore that I would do all that was necessary to reclaim this country for which he had so unselfishly given his life. This country means too much to me to simply sit by and watch it fall into fascism and endless war in the Middle East. But time is running out. We cannot sit idly by forever, waiting. And maybe, just maybe, 238 years from now, someone will sit beside MY grave on a windswept hillside, adorned with a weather worn sign that simply states "GRAVE OF AN UNKNOWN REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER."

I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'

BACK PAIN

yo there's so much pain

- Tupac Shakur

Put my damn back out at the vet when my dog (a complete psychopathic baby terrified of the NAIL CLIPPERS) jumped off the exam table and into my arms. He weighs 88 lbs. Needless to say, I went down in a crumpled mass of dog and agony. So I'm currently relegated to the floor which is why I haven't ranted in a few days. And there has been MUCH to rant about. DAMN!

I am currently working (from the floor) on the next post that will deal with "The Revolution." As soon as I'm able to sit upright for more than 15 seconds without the world turning grey and tears streaming from my eyes, I will type the post and upload it. I'm guessing this day will be tomorrow. Til then.

TEMPORARY INSANITY

Looney, lunatic turned sick. Psycho, crazy in the head, I go, Can't keep my head straight from the laws I break. You too, y'all twistin' up my mind state!

- Cypress Hill feat. Psycho Realm

I'm sure that some of you noticed the long delay between the post titled "POOR BELL" and the subsequent post titled "PULL YOUR HEADS OUTTA YOUR ASSES" Six days with no writing, no ranting, no cursing or general outrage. Well the reason for the six day lapse is horrific. Something terrible happend to me during those six days and at first I decided against doing a post about "the event." I was afraid the "event" would occur again if I dared post about it. Like a bad acid trip, I was terrified to relive those six days. After a great deal of thought and soul searching, I have changed my mind and decided to tell you the story if for no other reason than to warn all of YOU of what could happen if you're not careful. As a precaution I have asked one of my friends to stand behind me as I type this, armed with a Lousiville Slugger and instructed to "swing for the fence" (aka hit me as hard as possible in the back of the head and send my brains flying out of my forehead to land on my keyboard. In other words....beat me to death) if anything "happens." So here it goes. If the typing suddenly stops midsentence or midword....you'll know what happened.

On the day that I wrote the post "POOR BELL" I left the house shortly after uploading that short rant to Blogger. I took my dogs to the National Park by my home and on the way back, I turned on the radio to hear what nonsense Sean Hannity was discussing. At first there were nothing but commercials so I switched over to my Nas "Illmatic" CD (the greatest rap album in history, in MY humble oppinion.) After listening to about 2 songs, I flipped back to Hannity. He was back on and talking about immigration. Then it happened. Something so horrible, so DREADFUL, so nauseating and repugnant that I completely blacked out. I.......AGREED.....with......SEAN......HANNITY.

After that horrifying moment I don't remember another thing until, SIX DAYS LATER, I awoke with my head submerged in cold water. Suddenly my head was yanked out of the water by someone pulling me by my hair. I saw, through the water that was streaming down my face, that I was in my own bathroom at the bunker. But this view lasted only a split second as I gasped for air and was again shoved back under water. As my head was being held under, I could feel someone beating me on the back with what seemed like a book or maybe ever a box. It wasn't bad enough that I couldn't breath but they were also knocking the air out of lungs with the repeated smashes of the book/box to my upper back. Suddenly my head was again ripped out of the water and this time I was able to scream. Between gasps of air and trying to keep the toilet water out of my mouth by spitting every few seconds, I was able to scream "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING!!!!!???"

I saw there were two people in the small confines of the bunkers bathroom with me. Both were my friends. One was armed with what appeared to be a brand new copy of (M)Ann Coulters "How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must)" and a shotgun, the other had a large upside down American flag afixed to a pole that was about 4 feet long. The kind of flag one would bring to a march or a protest that could easily be waved around in the air. "WY ARE YOU HITTING ME WITH THAT RIDICULOUS BOOK???!!!" I half gasped half cried. "It's YOURS" he nastily replied. "I figured I'd beat the zombie out of you with their own book." He tossed the worthless book into the puddle that was spreading out before me on the floor.

My friend who was gripping the flag/pole shoved the tip hard into my chest and this sent me sprawling backwards onto my butt, my back coming to rest against the outside of the bathtub. Still wiping water off my face and using both hands to flatten my soaking, dripping wet (with TOILET WATER!) hair back out of my eyes and off my face, I screamed (spitting the toilet water) "OOUCH!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU TWO???!! HAVE YOU BOTH GONE MAD, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!??? SHIT!!! THAT FUCKING POLE HURT!!!"

I struggled to get my wet ass up off the bathroom floor, still panting for breath, when the pole was rammed into my chest once more, again sending me sprawling to the ground. That shot bruised for sure, and I rubbed the spot on my breastbone where the pole had struck. "WHAT THE FUCK, YOU TWO ASSHOLES!!!??? SHIT!!! YOU HAVE GONE MAD!! MADDER THAN AN I DON'T KNOW WHAT!!" Returning to rub my chest, my friend with the flag/pole spoke. "No, X. It's YOU that's gone mad. You've completely lost it. You've gone zombie republican or something. You should see yourself." As I struggled again to get up, I was this time met with the double barrels of a sawed off shotgun. Staring down the business end of these dark holes, I looked up to see my other friend holding the pistol grip and looking VERY serious. "Sit back down, freeper" he snarled at me. I collapsed back onto the linoleum.

"Now I'm gonna move this baby away from your face, but if you so much as make one false move, I'll plaster the walls with your zombified brains. Got that?" Wow, I thought, this guy's serious. "I got it" I answered, sounding more like a little kid who's mad he got caught instead of one seriously pissed off individual. My friend with the double barrel lowered his aim, slightly, and stepped away from me. "Ok, get up" he ordered. Using the side of the bathtub as a brace, I struggled to my feet. Still dripping wet, I was quickly shoved in front of the large bathroom mirror that was to the left of the toilet. "HOLY SHIT!" I screamed. "What the HELL???!"

What I saw in the mirror was utterly terrifying. Around my neck dangled a fairly large gold crucifix with the phrase "I'm Not Perfect, Just FORGIVEN" inscribed across the base at the bottom. My cool haircut was gone, replaced by a typical prudish mormon type haircut. I wore a long, plain single color jumper dress that came down to my ankles (GAG!!!!) The shirt worn under the jumper part of the dress was plain white and had printed on it, in large, bold letters "HE WON. GET OVER IT. W" My shoes were plain brown flats. My head started to spin. I felt a sudden wave of nausea flood over me. Lurching forward, I vomited in the sink. Wiping the back of my hand across my mouth, I turned around to face my friend who had been standing behind me as I had stared, dumbstruck, in the mirror. Again I was met with the double barrels. "What the hell happened to me?" I pleaded. "That's only the beginning of it" my friend stated, still pointing the shotgun in my face. "They got you. You turned zombie. Let's just hope there's still enough liberal in there to fight this virus off. Come see this."

I started to move past my well armed friend when he stopped me cold by placing the shotgun right against my temple. "Not ONE false move. I'll be directly behind you. Pipa, you walk in front of her, backwards." We started our slow procession. I felt like I should put my hands up in the air. Afraid such a move would cause my friends trigger finger to twitch, I decided against it and shoved both hands deeply into the pockets of the horrid dress/tent I had on. I felt something around one of my wrists and looked down. Dangling losely from my right wrist was a plastic "WWJD" bracelet. Holy shit. "When we found you," Pipa said "you were posting on FreeRepublic.com under the screen name 'bushizlord.' I thought we should kill you right then and there, but JC over here thought we'd give you one chance." FREEREPUBLIC??? Wow. I had completely lost my damn mind. I wouldn't even go there to read any of that pure crap, let alone sign up to POST! That website is nothing but a rascist, neo-con self mastubatory site. I felt suddenly dirty.

"What made you decide to come find me?" I asked Pipa. "Remember when you had Home Depot help with the building of the bunker? They did all the wiring and heavy lifting? Remember? They drilled that tripod on the roof of your apartment building for that .50 caliber RepubBuster we bought? Remember all that?" I thought about it for a second then answered "Sure, how could I forget that?." "Well" she continued, "while they were up there we had them add the searchlight that would send a signal into the sky if you ever turned your television to Faux News. A bat signal, just like the one in Batman, to signify that you had turned 'MoonBat.' We all had them installed in our bunkers. A way of alerting the other members of our group that one of us had slipped over to the dark side and needed help IMMEDIATELY." Sure, now I remembered. "Yeah, but I don't HAVE Faux News on my cable, Pipa. I only have the most basic cable ever. So why did it tell you I had turned on Faux News?" She laughed. Then, leaning real close to my face, she said "You ordered it." AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!(The picture below is an exact replication of our 'MoonBat' emergency indicator. Good idea, huh?)

After I picked my self back up off the floor from the shock of discovering I had actually ordered Faux News, I sat down on my sofa and they brought me a cold glass of Kool-Aid, two Tylenol w/Codeine tablets (for the beating I just took) and an all day sucker (strawberry.) "So what other crazy shit have I done?" I asked, wanting to just get it all out of the way now. No more surprises. "Well" started JC, sitting next to me with the shotgun resting on his lap, ready to grab it and aim in case I made any wrong moves "You renamed your dogs Dobson and Fallwell" (I cringed, felt vomit again rise in my throat then subside) he went on "you flipped your upside down American flag right side up, you tore up your poster of George Bu$h's face superimposed on Hitler" (GODDAMNIT!!!!) "you have every radio station in the house tuned to the station that carries Hannity, Limbaugh, Medved, and all those other fucking assholes, you canceled your subscriptions to The Nation magazine and to Air America and you sent emails to the makers of South Park telling them their show corrupts the minds of good christian children."

I felt the air being sucked out of my lungs and I felt my body start to slump forward. But JC went on..."Oh, you logged onto Democratic Underground, created a new post declaring that you had been a troll all along and that everybody could go fuck themselves. And I think you mentioned in there somewhere how everyone on DU is going to hell and that Jesus is going to come back and save only the true Christians." I started to sway back and forth. "They ripped you for a good 20 minutes before the post got locked. I believe, but I may be wrong, that they opened a new thread and CONTINUED to rip you." He shrugged and fiddled with the stock of his shotgun. Maybe he should just kill me now. There may be no coming back from this. I'd rather be DEAD than to be thought of as a republican. "Kill me" I whispered. Nothing happened. "Kill me" a little louder this time. "What did you say?" JC responded. I flinched and chickened out. "Nothing" I replied.

I sat there a few more minutes to fully absorb what they had just told me. I felt myself getting weak. The room started to spin and a tremendous buzzing filled my head. I slid off the couch like in the cartoons and slithered onto the floor in front of the coffee table. There I lay, contemplating what I had done. Had I really told everyone at DU to fuck off? WOW. I'd never be able to post there ever again, no matter HOW hard I tried to explain it. You piss THEM off and you've had it (just look what they did to old Howard Kaloogian!) That's like having a hornets nest come after you. SHIT.

From my position on the floor I was able to see some sort of writing on the ceiling. I sat up, resting on my elbows. "Are those......are those BIBLE VERSES on the ceiling?? Are those actual pages from a BIBLE taped to my ceiling???!" Neither Pipa NOR JC said anything. They just stared at me. "Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!!" I sobbed. Where in the hell had I obtained a BIBLE?? As if they were reading my mind both answered in unsion..."Fred Phelps sent it to you. You joined his 'church.'" I stared in disbelief. No. No I hadn't. They were joking. They had to be. This was simply impossible. JC stood up and disappeard into my bedroom. He emerged a few seconds later carrying these giant wooden signs that were very brightly colored. Yellow, red orange. But extremely bright. Almost blinding. He handed one to Pipa and they stood next to each other facing me. They stood up the signs and turned them towrads me. "GOD HATES FAGS!" "FAGS DIE, GOD LAUGHS!" "THANK GOD FOR IED's" "GOD LOVES DEAD SOLDIERS" No, nonononononononononono! NO.....WAY!

As if this wasn't bad enough, JC uncrinkles a piece of folded up newpaper from his backpocket and holds it out for me to take. Both drop the signs and run to my side and grab my arms as if to support me in case I fall. I slowly unfold the newspaper and suddenly I'm staring at a black and white photo of many people holding up the exact same signs I was just looking at. The headline says "Phelp's Group Protests Local Soldiers Funeral." And standing in the middle of the group, waving a sign that said "GOD BLEW UP THE TROOPS" is..............me. THUD.

The next day when I finally came too, JC and Pipa where still there. Friends to the end (except Pipa was kinda quick to want to kill me, don't you think? Bitch.) Booming in the backround was Air America. My DisObey poster was back up as was my upside down American flag. All the religious symbols I had hung up had been discarded. I called my credit card company and told them a crazy person had stolen my credit card and had bought a GOLD 8 inch crucifix necklace, had subscribed to the 'Limbaugh Letter,' the 'O'Reilly Factor'and to the Washington Times (shudder in disbelief.) I couldn't get back the money I had "donated" to the Abramoff defense fund and the I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby defense fund and numerous pro-life groups. I erased all the pro war posts I intended to put on this blog and the "In defense of our President, George W. Bush" post (THANK.....GOD.)

Funny....like all republican neo-con christo-fascists, not once during my six day stint did I EVER consider joining the military and going to fight in the war in which I so strongly and vociferously supported. Strange, huh? I wonder why that is?

I continue to find stuff from those six fateful days. Every once in a while I'll open a drawer or reach in a pocket and there will be a little reminder. Something shocking that will momentarily cause me to freeze. Then I'll quickly put the item back and call one of my group. They'll come over with the proper Neo-deCON-tamintation equipment (a box of matches) and set it afire in my sink. All the while I cower under my sheets, thinking "what if they hadn't gotten to me in time...."

So I'll end this story by thanking JC for standing behind me this whole time with that baseball bat. Ready to deliver that final death blow than to see a friend turn zombie again. I loath republicans. I really do, I loath them. What? No, I didn't say LOVE, I said LOATH, JC. No, you didnt hear me say LOVE. I swear I DIDN'T SAY LOVE!!! I said LOATH. I'm even spell it. L-O-A-T-H. Look, right there, on the screen, it says loath. No you dope, to the right, to the right. HEY!!!! PUT THAT DAMN BAT DOWN!! Yo, I'm not fuckin playin with you!! I DIDN'T SAY LOVE. PUT THAT BAT DOWN!! NO, DON'T H

Before I launch into my desperate cry for cooler heads to prevail, I ask that you read the following articles. The first is written by Joesph Cirincione of the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace. Here's the link: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3416. The second I found on Yahoo News. Here's that link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060408/wl_mideast_afp/usirannuclearmilitary. And the third is by Seymour Hersh, writer for the New Yorker magazine. Here's that link: http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060417fa_fact

Did you read them? Cuz I don't want you to think I just pulled this shit outta my ass. This is serious, and I'm not just crying wolf or reaffixing my tin foil hat upon my head. George W. Bu$h is going to attack Iran with NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Probably sometime AFTER the November elections. Maybe six months or so before the 2008 presidential election so he can declare that it's too dangerous to have a change of guard, suspend the consitution and cancel the elections. Ask yourself, do these guys look/sound like they have ANY intention of leaving in 2008? Bu$h and the entire republican house spit in our faces everyday. They ADMIT to breaking the law and refuse to apologize for it. They have us by the proverbial ball sack. And we are at their mercy.

WHAT THE FUCK???!!! We're going to NUKE another country? This is beyond my personal comprehension. I want to shake my head really hard so my brain rattles around inside my skull. Maybe this will clear my thought processes and allow me to see the SENSE in such a clearly inconceivable decision. Will Americans rush to support this cabal after we NUKE Iran? Will we lay prostrate at Bu$h's feet again, declaring "unpatriotic" those of us who have a HUGE problem with NUKING another country? I have a strange feeling that we will. This country has no backbone whatsoever. We are seemingly uncapable of standing up and screaming "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY YOU SONSOFBITCHES!!!" If (when) we do NUKE Iran, it will be time for the American people to take up arms and reclaim what has been ripped from our grip....our country, our Constitution and our LIVES. Goddamnit, if we don't this country, as we know it, is gone. We had a revolution 200 some years ago and, unfortunately, it looks like we may be in need of another one. But that discussion is for a later date. Right now, I'm focusing all my energies on this imminent NUCLEAR attack against Iran. I think I'm going to vomit.

Any reich-winger who STILL claims this man is keeping us safe is completely insane. How will an unwarranted NUCLEAR attack upon Iran make us safer? Cuz they MAY have nuclear weapons ten years down the road? And how many are they gonna have, one? Ooooohhhhh. Big damn deal. We have 1,500 nuclear weapons and Bu$h just decided to restart our nuclear weapon building program which will produce 150 MORE nukes every year by 2022. Do you really think Iran would be so stupid as to fire a nuclear weapon at us? We are ARMED TO THE GODDAMN TEETH!!! Iran would be eliminated from the face of the earth in 15 minutes. Let's think rationally here. Is a country that is GUARANTEED complete destruction going to launch one lonely nuke in our direction? Even the madest of the madmen wouldn't do that.

So who else could we possibly be concerned for? Let's think. What other country are we always getting ourselves in some shitty mess for? What other country are we ALWAYS sticking our nose where it doesn't belong in order to protect? If you guessed Israel, you got it right. If Israel wants Iran eliminated so badly, let them do it themselves. For christs sake, are we Isreal's bully for hire? It sure seems that way, doesnt it? We PERMIT Israel to have nuclear weapons. In fact, we more than likely sold them to Israel. They're on the list of countries we "allow" to have nuclear weapons because Israel is perfectly stable and I'm SURE they would NEVER consider using them. Bullshit.!!! That whole area of the world is fucking disaster. And the one country causing all the uproar is Israel, armed with nuclear waepons and not afraid to use them. Does Israel actually believe that dropping NUCLEAR FUCKING WEAPONS on IRAN is going to make them safer? Or that it's going to solve one of their NUMEROUS problems?? Oh my god, what are we doing here, people? WHAT ARE WE DOING!!??

If Israel wants Iran nuked, nuke em yourself. Why should my ass be out on the line for Israel? I'm getting tired of this shit. I didn't go to the police academy and I don't appreciate the American people being USED as the worlds damn police force! Don't we have our OWN problems here within our OWN borders that need to be taken care of? The way these republican$ are spending money, you'd think every American citizen was employed, made millions of dollars a year and lived in a mansion. You'd think the debt WASN'T $9 TRILLION dollars. What could we have accomplished here in THIS country with the $400 BILLION we've already spent in Iraq? It sickens me. It physically sickens me.

Cirnicione mentions in his article that Iran would unleash their terrorist organizations upon us here if (when) we NUKE them. Great. Now I have to risk MY ASS over some shit these apparent maniacs in our government have gotten us in to. THEY don't have to worry. They live behind walls, have secret bomb-proof bunkers, drive bullet proof cars and have bodyguards. What do WE have? NOTHING. Is my Honda impervious to explosions or bullets? Nope. And I doubt your car is either. This is what they do to us. They start shit then they run and hide behind their protetive bunkers and leave the rest of us standing out in the open like deer. If you were worried about terrorist attacks BEFORE, you might as well find yourself a cozy hole in the ground waaaay out in the middle of a vast field somewhere and remain there, for YEARS, after this shit goes down. I know for a fact that my bunker of secular utopia is ONLY impervious to an all out christo-fascist attack. Certainly not an attack by Hezbollah or some other terrorist organization. All that work for naught.

I swear, if (when) we NUKE Iran, if I don't see the streets of this country swelled with hummanity, my head is going to explode. It's gonna spin around on my shoulders and blow off. I'm really gonna lose it. Think I'm angry NOW?? Holy shit, I can't even imagine. My blood pressure will be off the damn chart. If THIS doesn't get you lazy, apathetic bastards off your asses, NOTHING will. You don't deserve to live in my country.

As I've mentioned NUMEROUS times, I have NO RESPECT for anyone who is still a supporter of this president. They have ruined my country. Ruined it. If there was a way that I could get hold of the names and addresses of every single neo-con in this country and give it to the Iranians, I would. Let the supporters of this manic die in the resulting terrorist onslaught this NUCLEAR attack will bring. Why should I (or you!) suffer for their unbelievable ignorance. But this little feat is beyond my capabilities, so I guess ALL our heads are on the chopping block in this one. But then again, mine will blow off in anger. I guess I'll get off easy.

FIGHT THIS ONE, PEOPLE. OR WE'RE DOOMED.

**As a side note, thank you for all the kind comments. And not ONE piece of reich wing incomprehensible drivel. I guess I'll keep on ranting and fighting the power. As Eminem says "My words are my weapons." I will leave the comment section open for the time being. Or until the reich discovers it and floods my inbox with their shit. Thanks again!

HANGING UP MY KEYBOARD?

Should I stay or should I go?

- The Clash

I'm considering hanging up my keyboard. As mentioned in my previous post, I don't enjoy doing this blog anymore. Ok, wait. That's a lie. I DO enjoy doing it, but I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything by ranting and raving. I am disheartened and disenfranchised. And I'm angry ALL the time. Maybe it's time to stop preaching to the choir and call it a day.

Watching the reichs response to all the LATEST wrongdoings on behalf of this admini$tration, I feel that these people will support this man and his cronies no matter WHAT they do. No matter what. And I'm simply FURIOUS. Livid, to be more precise. Faux News could spin a pedophilia if they felt it necessary for their "cause", and their mind-numb slobbering viewers would go right along with them, somehow blaming the child for being a slut.

I have reached new levels of furor. The slightest thing sets me off. There is no "in between" for me anymore. I'm either completely relaxed or going out of mind mind bonkers with anger. I can't stand driving around and STILL seeing people with "W'04" or "W The President" stickers on their cars. What the hell is the matter with these people and WHY are they allowed to drive around? We don't allow retarded people to operate heavy machinery, why should zombies be granted such rights? As soon as I spot one of these offending sticker, it's lights-out fury. And this isn't good when driving. I swear I have considered running these people off the road. I can't stand seeing these reich assholes walking around with giant American flag t-shirts. That flag symbolizes NOTHING in which they stand for. America is not about fascism, corporatism and theocracy. I want to rip these shirts from these "people" and stomp on them with my boots.

And so here lies the problem. I can write a new post everyday about some NEW outrage this administration or these fascists in the House have perpetrated, but when it comes down to it, I'm simply repeating myself. We aren't getting anywhere. Those who read this angry blog on the regular know that I believe the elections are totally fixed. We "dems" aren't going to take back SHIT in November. Sure, they may "give us" a seat here or there so as to make us THINK the elections are fair, but there's NO CHANCE we're taking back either the Senate OR Congress. These "things" that have taken over our country have too much to lose to allow that to happen. They know that if we were to take back the government, half of these maniacs would be up on criminal charges, Bu$h would be impeached and all their handouts to the rich (themselves) would come to a screeching halt. And they can't have this. So I have NO HOPE that ANYTHING substantial will occur in November.

So how long would I continue this blog? Until the end of time? I would be completely insane by that point (I'm teetering on the verge of a complete meltdown now as it is.) Should I just keep bitching about things that we THE PEOPLE have no power over anymore? The constructors of the Constitution left the people with no recourse. They never fathomed that our precious CHECK AND BALANCES would be rendered impotent by corruption. Like California was able to recall Grey Davis, THE PEOPLE of the United States should be able to recall the president if they feel he isn't doing his job and is disregarding the Constitution. But there I go, forgetting that the voting is tainted, so we wouldn't be able to accomplish a recall either. We are being governed, decisions about OUR LIVES are being decided by wrongly informed, brainwashed religious zombies and just plain idiots.

For the first time in this blogs short life, I am going to open the comments section so the readers can tell me whether they believe I should continue this apparently worthless blog. Do you care what I think? Am I wasting my time here? Does this blog, at the very least, entertain you? I could continue to write inane posts about my pathetic life (see the HYPOCHONDRIAC post) but I doubt anyone would want to read that incessantly either.

REICH WARNING: I don't care what you reich-wing neo-cons have to say. You don't register on my radar and I will delete your asinine comments ASAP. So please don't waste MY time or YOUR time.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind. Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

- Five Man Electrical Band

Aside from the obvious fact that somewhere in your car rides a baby, what in the hell does this sign mean? So you have a baby on board. And? I have two dogs on board, should I similarly broadcast it? What if I'm having a bad day, should I get a sign that states "Angry Liberal On Board?" I simply don't understand what these signs are supposed to signify. Are you looking for me to congratulate you? Not gonna happen. You might be a reich zombie and I therefore wouldn't risk speaking to you.

I fear these signs have another significance. Telling all other drivers in the area that YOU have a BABY in YOUR CAR and super duper caution should be taken when driving within your vicinity. Am I right? That's what these B.O.B. signs indicate, right?. So when I'm speeding down the road in my Honda, I will make SURE to avoid hitting your car at all costs. If a tire blows and I'm careening out of control, I will use all my strength and super hero powers to pull my car AWAY from the B.O.B. car and kill some hapless slob who is not fortunate enough to have a baby (on board.) Hell, he/she may have one at home, but as long as they don't have a baby ON BOARD, I'm gonna be forced to kill them in a vehicular accident thus sparing the B.O.B. car from demolition and ensuing catastrophe.

Next time I drink and drive, where I hold the bottle between my legs so I can steer, I will make sure to, in my drunken haze, avoid killing you and YOUR family and subsequently kill SOMEONE ELSE. Some poor sucker who only has a friend (on board.) There's too many of them on the roadways anyway. Or a wife or girlfriend (on board.) Screw them, no baby?? SUCKER. Now die. All the while the B.O.B car will pass through the wreckage unscathed, on it's merry way.

Now don't get me wrong here. I love babies. Who doesn't, right? They're all cute and whatnot (until they either scream, poop or speak) but should you be given precedence in a 12 car pile up? I haven't been in too many accidents, but the ones in which I have been involved, there was no way I was going to be able to avoid a B.O.B car if it was in the line of my summersaulting sedan. Sorry, but good ol' ComeArmageddon does not, contrary to popular belief, have supreme powers over nature and steel. If I did......well, lets just say, in regards to this government......well maybe I won't say it at all. But you know what I'm getting at.

There's another possibility in regards to the B.O.B. Maybe you are supposed to watch your manners around the car carrying such a fragile, easily impressionable individual (ie. Baby). Maybe when I'm in the next billion mile traffic jam, if I spot a B.O.B. car in hearing distance, I shouldn't scream out the window "MOVE IT THE FUCK ALONG WILL YA? SHIT! WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING UP THERE!?" I should keep my mouth shut, thus sparing the defenseless infant the rage of an immoral adult. Ya think? Or when I'm walking though a parking lot, I should ALSO refrain from a stream of obnoxious curse words when I discover the OTHER passenger of the B.O.B. car (not the baby but a FORMER B.O.B. child) is repeateldy smashing his door into my car, thus scratching it all to hell. "Listen kid, I would smack the sh** out of you, but today is your lucky day. Seems you have a BABY ON BOARD so I'm gonna hold off on kicking your punk ass."

What about parking. Should B.O.B. people be given special parking priviledges? I mean, they DO have a BABY on board. And with a baby comes 8,000 various accouterments. All sorts of shit. To go into the mall for 15 minutes requires unpacking the minivan, setting up the stroller, getting all the stuff that attaches to the stroller, making sure BABY is strapped in tight and has proper protection from the elements (blankets, etc), hanging the diaper bag over the shoulder and then getting in line the five OTHER kids they brought along.

So here's ME. Single and ready to mingle. Nothing to unpack and assemble. Just me, myself and I. About to run into the grocery store and pick up my daily allotment of Yoo-Hoo, Kool-Aid and all day suckers. I pull into the parking lot and see an open spot right up front. I turn and am suddenly facing the good old "parking spot showdown." Both our cars meet directly in front of the desired parking space, turn signals blinking in unison. It's like a mexican standoff. Who got there a split second before the other? The drivers stare each other down. Then I notice the obnoxiously yellow B.O.B. reflecting from the side window. I pause. Can I really deny this poor B.O.B. car this prized parking place? She does have all that shit to unpack. And look at all those damn KIDS in that minivan! For the love of god man, are we repopulating the country ourselves? My hand moves to the stick and my foot depresses the clutch. I ease the Honda slowly into reverse. Then, suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I spy something on the rear passenger window. Is that what I think it is??? I squint in the sunlight for better vision. Is that a goddamn "Bush/Cheney'04" sticker? Bastard!! I ram the stick into first gear and, tires squealing and smoking, the Honda lunges forward into the spot. This unleashes a stream of curse words from the B.O.B. car. "Eat it, Republican!!" I scream as I leap from the Honda and dart into the grocery store like a gazelle. It'll be a cold day in hell when I let a rethuglican get a spot in front of me, B.O.B. or no B.O.B. When I came out, my car was keyed. Typical rethuglican.

PULL YOUR HEADS OUTTA

YOUR ASSES

What is it gonna take for these criminals to be thrown out of power?!!? Delay dropped out of the Texas race because he's going to jail (GOOD!) and Bu$h should be the next to be imprisoned. Yesterday we learned that Bu$h was looking for HIMSELF this whole time he was searching for the "leaker" in the White House CIA leak investigation. IMAGINE THAT!!! ANOTHER time Bu$h lied to us. How many more freebies does this criminal get before we drag him out of OUR house and revert to citizen justice? Apparently, that day will never come.

I have given up on my fellow Americans. We are dead. I have lost the desire to write this blog anymore. Is it even worth it, aside from allowing me a place to vent? All of the bitching and discovering of criminal activity is apparently worthless. Merely something to entertain us along our road to ruin. Americans are a lazy, uninformed bunch of jokers who allow themselves to be fooled by the dumbest people in our country. And they do it so BLATANTLY. Right in front of your face and then TELL YOU they are doing it. And what do you do? Do you feign outrage? No. Do you demand the impeachment of this criminal president? NO. You turn in to Faux News and immediately suck up all the lies and spin they regurgitate in your face (does it burn when it gets in your eye? I hear it does.) What a sorry bunch of people. I'm embarrassed to call myself an American. Go on supporting these criminals. And when they come for your son or daughter to fight in the next disaster they embroil us in, I don't want to hear a peep out of you. Not ONE. Don't look to me to stand up for you. You republican lunatics are on your own from this point forward.

I hope they DO come get your kids, in fact I cannot wait for that day. To see all you saps crying and screaming in protest when its YOUR time to ante up will bring a joy to my heart. I won't open my mouth and utter one word in your defense. In fact, I'll stock up an popcorn and watch you asshole braindead zombies pass out in horror from the thought of actually putting your money where your mouth is. It's all good when it's someone ELSE who is suffering at the existence of these animals in our government. Will you adorn your car with a yellow magnet to support YOUR child? Will that be deemed enough support when YOUR child is being sent to the slaughter? Oh, and while your precious little boy is marching off to fight in the next godforsaken shithole this maniac decides to invade, remember this could have ALL been prevented if you had simply pulled your FUCKING HEADS OUTTA YOUR ASSES and acted. But no, you chose to suck at the teat of this monster and spit vitriol in the faces of those who SAW this man for what he really is. Well, the time is coming where the baby will have to wean itself from its foul mother and fend for itself. Good luck, assholes. And just remember, I can't WAIT.

POOR BELL

The Liberty Bell should have gotten up and rolled as far away from this chrsito-fascist asshole as possible. Or a thunderous clap should have been heard as the bell split the rest of the way in protest. Rick Santorum (Douche Bag, Pennsylvania) stands for NOTHING the Liberty Bell is supposed to signify. He is a hatemongerer, a homophobe, a fascist and a rabid misogynist. He stands for the rich and the rich ONLY. The good people of Philadelphia (those not ducking gunfire from the current wave of violence that has swept the city) should have scrubbed the LIberty Bell with Clorox after his departure and fummigated the entire Constitution Center in which it's located. Philadelphia shouldn't allow Santorum within 10 miles of the birthplace of the Constitution. Santorum stands for NOTHING the Constitution gurantess us and, along with every other neo-con asshole, desires to see our Constitutional rights dissolved and George Bu$h installed as King. He defiles the entire area with his presence and insults the America people. Sorry, but I find this picture nauseating. I cannot wait for Santorum to go down in a flaming pile of necromantic sludge in November. That is unless Diebold has a "vote."

- Bauhaus

I have liver cancer again. Don't worry, I've had it before. This time I'm sure I have it because I can feel my liver inside my body. I can't actually palpate it, and believe me, I've tried, but I can feel it in there when I walk around. But it might also be from sitting in my comfy computer chair with my knees up to my chest when I'm typing, searching websites or watching movies. So maybe it's an out of place rib. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

I'm pretty sure I'm a hypochondriac. I have been since I was little. I have had every disease and malfunction known to man. You name it, I've had it (twice.) This week alone I thought I had liver cancer, a tumor on my sternum (I still think I have that), lung cancer and AIDS. My mom is so used to me calling her in a panic that she doesn't even listen anymore. "MOM!!!!!!!! I have lukemia! I've had a bruise for 2 days and I don't know how I got it." My mom....."Oh yeah? What time are you bringing over the dog?" Not very comforting when you're convinced you're on your last legs, but as she says, if she ever really freaked when I told her one of my latest diseases I would REALLY lose it. She has learned to disregard all my medical claims, and only takes me seriously if there is blood involved or if I'm unconscious. My dad would have to see my death certificate before he'd agree I had something bad. His key phrase is "You're too young to have X." He's been using that since I was twelve (when I was convinced I had bone cancer.) I'm not getting any younger so it's not gonna hold water one of these days. But I assure you, when I'm sixty he'll still be saying that.

I went to the emergency room a few months back when I thought I was having a stroke. And I really thought I was having a stroke too. I had had this insufferable, monster headache for 3 days and it wasn't letting up. I went to work but they sent me home when I started mumbling about not being able to see out of one eye. Instead of going home, I drove (yes, drove) over to my mom's and nearly fell apart. She told me she'd drive me to the ER if I was really dying. I was really dying, so off we went.

When we arrived at the ER, the triage nurse assured me that I wasn't having a stroke ("You're too young for that" she said) and decided it was probably just a migraine but they would do a CAT scan anyway just to double check. As I lay in the ER exam room, awating to be wheeled to the CAT scan department, a nurse came in to assess my symptoms. "She's nuts" my mom happily told the nurse, smiling over the top of her Washington Post. "She thinks she's having a stroke." I was furious! This was a real medical emergency and my mom was laughing at me! Plus, this hypochondriasis is all her fault anyway. Everything is her fault. I'd get her later.

The nurse took my bloodpressure (it was high...see, stroke) and shined a light in my eyes. Then she started feeling around my neck and declared I had a swollen lymph node. Not realizing that she had just diagnosed me with AIDS (again) she left the room, saying someone would be in soon to take me to CAT scan. She smiled reassuringly over her shoulder and disappeared. I was already a disaster. My hands flew up and searched every last inch of my upper torso for the offending AIDS infected lymph node. None were found. I searched again. Still nothing. And believe me, I know the exact size of every lymph node on my body. If one were even 0.000000125 centimeters larger, I would know it. Relieved, I decided this nurse was inept and couldn't be trusted to give me a proper diagnosis. I made a mental note of this and went back to obsessing about my stroke.

Now I was really a mess. "I'm gonna die mom" I moaned. I fell back dramatically onto the gurnery on which I had been sitting straight up and even more dramatically tossed a limp arm over my eyes. I heard my mom turn the page of her WaPo. "What if they tell me I have an anurysm and they need to operate? This isn't the hospital I would want to have brain surgery in." I sighed deeply and felt a tear welling up in my right eye. I shuddered slightly and felt the lone tear slip down my cheek. "Would you shut the hell up" my mom said from behind her enormously engrossing paper. Then "Why in the hell do they have Faux News on in this place? People are already sick. I'm gonna go turn it off." She stood up, carefully folded her prescious WaPo and left the room, disappearing around the corner to see if she could turn off the obnoxiously loud TV out in the waiting area.

Just then the harbingers of bad news arrived to wheel me down to CAT scan. I pretended that I wasn't about to vomit from the fear of diagnosis and straightened out the blankets I had draped over my legs to keep myelf busy (and so they couldn't see me shaking). I stared straight up at the ceiling as they slowly wheeled me out of the exam room, through the ER and into the hospital itself. The smell of a hospital has always made me nervous and the various scents (diseases, cleaning products and.....death) overwhelmed me as I journeyed closer to my inevitable diganosis. I closed my eyes for the remainder of the trip. It was all too much for my poor self to take.

When we arrived in the CAT scan department, the girl who operated the contraption asked me what the problem was, equally out of morbid curiosity and the need to know what, exactly, she was scanning. "I'm dying of a stroke. Or an anurysm. They don't know which one yet" I feebly told her. She looked me over and smiled, "You look pretty young to be suffering from either one." She must have spoken to my father. She set me up on the sliding table (just sitting up caused my head to pound like a drum), put a helmet looking thingy on my head and slid me into the machine. Five minutes later it was over. I was worried I would go into cardiac arrest while in there (from the stroke) and they wouldn't be able to drag me out in time to save me. I was relieved when I was slid back out and reentered daylight.

Back to the ER exam room we went to await the results. While we were waiting to leave the CAT scan department, I listened as carfeully as I could to see if I could hear someone discussing my horrible diagnosis. The radiologists where in a little room to the left and I could see them in there looking at films. I wondered if mine was up there. Without hearing anything that sounded as if it pertained to me, I was wheeled back to the ER. I felt panic slowly start creeping back in. I had brain cancer now, I was sure of it. As we entered, I saw that my mom had returned from wherever the hell it was she had gone. "So you made it, huh?" she sneered as they wheeled me back in, my ashen face desperate with panic. I glared at her with brain tumor eyes. She sat back down and up went the WaPo again. After a few moments of silence (I was choking back tears) I said "Mom, what if I have brain cancer? What if the doctor comes through the door with another doctor, an oncologist? Mom, I swear I'll pass out if she comes in here with another doctor."

I was staring through teary eyes up at the ceiling, contemplating life as I knew it when I heard the crinkling of the WaPo. "So it's brain cancer now? When we got here it was a stroke. What made you decide it's brain cancer?" She was mocking me, I knew it. I was furious. As dramtically as possible, I tossed an arm over the railing of my deathbead (gurney) and turned my panic stricken face in her vile direction. Seething with hurt (and brain cancer) I hissed "You're making fun of me and I'm dying. What a bitch! You'll feel bad when that doctor comes in here with my films and an oncologist." She rolled here eyes and laughed at me (again) and sat back down. "You don't have brain cancer" she declared and went back to reading the paper.

I lay there staring up into eternity for what seemed like 5 hours. In reality, it was probably more like 20 minutes, but remember, I'm a hypochondriac. I was actually convinced they were gonna come in and tell me I had brain cancer. I thought I was gonna throw up. What other reason could there be for the delay in telling me my diagnosis? The doctor was probably confering with an oncologist at this very moment. Then I saw a form in the doorway and in came the doctor. My heart actually stopped for about 5 seconds then kick started itself. I felt the blood flush back into my extremities and into my face. I swallowed hard but the lump in my throat impeded the saliva and it bubbled back out onto my lips. I looked, I'm sure, like a crazy person. Deathly white face, trembling hands, giant dilated pupils and foamy spit all over my lips.

The doctor held a chart in one hand and a beeper in the other. I looked towards the door again to see what the oncologist looked like. I bet he's gonna be asian. The doctor sat down on the little stool that was positioned directly in front of my obnoxious, uncaring mother. I continued staring at the door, awating the white coat of the oncologist to blow through at any minute. "Well Miss X, your films were fine. I think your migraine tensed up the muslces in your neck. The muslces pulling on the back of your head is what's causing you the pain. I'm going to prescribe you a muslce relaxer." My asshole mother laughed, outloud, and looked at me. I was stunned. I sat there, still awaiting the oncologist to burst in and say there had been a mistake and that I did, in fact, have a brain tumor. The doctor wrote me a prescription as I numbly sat up. "So I'm not having a stoke?" I sobbed? "You're too young to have a stroke" she said, placing the prescription in my grinning asshole mothers hands. "The nurse will be in to give you your discharge papers in a few minutes. I hope you feel beter. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us." Then she turned and breezed out of the room, her lab coat billowing out behind her in her rush to see a SERIOUS case.

I started getting dressed and decided to ignore, for the moment, my coldhearted mother. I would deal with her obnoxiousness at a later date. Right now I had to focus on this latest diagnosis. So it's not a stroke or an anurysm or a brain tumor. Good. I was feeling better. I did a little "no brain cancer" dance and managed (painfully) to grin at the rude one as we strode out of the exam room and into the waiting room/reception area. I wrote the hospital a check for $100.00 (my sorry copay) and decided that was pretty cheap for a clean bill of health. We walked towards the slidding glass doors and stepped out into the afternoon sunshine.

"Where do you want to fill this prescription?" my mom asked. "Do you want to go back to your pharmacy and fill it?" I thought for a second. I couldn't go back in there after just telling them I was dying. That would be too anti-climatic. I had to let them worry about me. You know, suck up as much sympathy as possible. I'd tell them the diagnosis when they called later to see if I was still among the living. "No, we can go the pharmacy by my house" I said. As my mom drove, I looked out the window at the passing scenery. The sun was out and was warming my face as I gazed up at the clear December sky. Just then it hit me. The revelation struck me like a ton of bricks and I felt the wind sucked from my lungs. The world started to tilt on its axis and I thought I was going to faint dead away. For the second time in one day I felt my heartbeat stop. My hands clenched the armrest and I froze. Slowly, I turned towards my mom. She must have seen the panic in my eyes and noted the pallor of my complexion. "Now what's wrong?" she demanded. I opened my mouth, dry lips pulling slowly apart. My tongue felt huge in my mouth. I swallowed hard, trying to push the panic back down into my gut. "Mom....." I quivered, my voice barely audible over the terror, "what if they MISSED the brain tumor?"

SORRY, BUT...

YOU HAS GOTS TO GO

Will you run across the border mama? (I'll go cross the border papa)

- Philly's Most Wanted (horrible!)

I was downtown yesterday at a friends house when I heard all this tremendous commotion going on outside. Figuring the roundups of liberals had begun, I tentatively tiptoed over to the 4th floor window and peeked ever so carefully out the curtain and was amazed to see THOUSANDS of people in the streets. TENS of thousands. I was ecstatic! It had begun! Americans had finally had enough and had taken to the streets! I grabbed my backpack, shoved some clothes into it in case the march was going all the way to DC to take back our government, grabbed a soda outta the fridge and dropped it in with my clothes, slipped on my best pair of New Balance's and headed out to join the furious American people. Screaming an unintelligible goodbye, I blazed down the stairs three at a time, joyous that the people had finally awoken, and flew out into the street. There I stopped cold. Instead of throusands of American flags and angry Americans, I came face to face with thousands of MEXICAN flags and tens of thousands of Mexicans and others from South America demanding that ILLEGAL ALIENS receive the rights they "deserve." I was furious. I was more than furious, I was livid (and morbidly depressed that the revolution had not begun.)

I'm sorry, but if you are here ILLEGALLY you deserve no special rights and you need to be sent back to your home country. You have broken the law (hence the term "ILLEGAL" alien.) If you wish to come to this country (to any country) do so the legal way. I will more than welcome you. But to essentially break into this country and then demand you be allowed to stay and granted CITIZENSHIP is simply wrong. I totally respect people from other countries who desire to better their lives by becoming an American citizen the legal way and desire to LEARN THE LANGUAGE. But to just walk over the border and then demand citizenship is a slap in the face to every single immigrant who has ever taken the time and effort to obtain American citizenship through legal channels.

Illegal aliens are costing this country a goddamn fortune. The hospitals on the borders (and increasingly throughout the entire country) that have to treat all these individuals walking over the border are going broke. The cost of treating illegal aliens is in the BILLIONS. They have their children on American soil and the American taxpayers are forced to pay for them. I do, you do. And it's simply not fair.

Most of these illegals are paid under the table. As a result, they pay no taxes so they don't contribute ANYTHING monetarily to this country. The only people who benefit from illegal aliens are the companies that make money by not having to pay American citizens decent wages. Today I heard Michael Medved claim that the only jobs illegals take are those which Americans don't want to do. This is just bullshit. Someone did these jobs BEFORE this influx of illegal aliens began, so what's changed? I'll tell ya what's changed.....companies have discovered they can save themselves a fortune by paying illgal aliens for jobs they used to pay UNIONIZED AMERICANS for. It's disgusting. It really is. Why don't they simply hire illegal aliens to work in every job in this country? If they're not shipping our jobs overseas, they're giving them to illegal aliens. The American middle class is in deep shit if something isn't done about this. But don't rely on our magnificant president to help us out. He, OF COURSE, sides with (whoelse?) THE CORPORATIONS!

Bu$h wants to set up a guest worker program so all eleven million illegals (ELEVEN MILLION!!!) can stay and, whatelse, work for his criminal antiAmerican companies. His plan also says another 400,000 more illegals can come in each year to work. Where are they getting all these jobs? Why from you and I, of course. The reich, the regular guy from South Carolina or Kansas or wherever, they guy who has supported this admini$tration no matter what they have done so far, should be running in the opposite direction. And to all those reich supporters who have been voting for and remaining loyal to Bu$h because he would "keep us safe" should also wake the hell up. Since September 11th, Bu$h has done NOTHING to secure our border with Mexico. ANYONE can simply stroll across and lose themselves in this country. HOW is THIS keeping us safe? If 11 MILLION illegals have crossed, unimpeded, into America, how many members of Al-Qaida could have also come across? Al-Qaida is who you've been so scared of for four plus years, right? Every speech Bu$h makes he mentions Al-Qaida. So what has this wonderful president of yours done to seal up the mexican border ? NOTHING. NADA. Do you feel safer now?

Thom Hartman eloquently stated that this entire situation could be rectified if the government would simply punish the employers of illegal immigrants with jail time. If you hire an illegal, you're going to prison. But since this would negatively affect the rich (Bu$h's friends) this plan would NEVER come to fruition. Instead, nothing will be done with the Mexican border. Nothing but alot of rhetoric. Congress and the Senate will talk and argue for awhile, then something major will occur that will result in us all forgetting the border issue. This is how every contentious issue is solved with our current government. They make you forget about it so they can continue screwing you while you're focused on the new "problem." Illegals will continue to stream across the border because Bu$h's rich buddies want them here. Remember...NOBODY in the Republican party gives two SHITS about the American people. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT ARE THEIR RICH FRIENDS. And if this sickening border issue doesn't make you relaize that, then I don't know what will. This country is in SERIOUS trouble. And once again, NOBODY is gonna do shit about it.

So this isn't the "liberal" point of view, huh? I'm supposed to be "understanding" and realize that illegals are doing all the dirty work and that they just need to "feed their family?" WRONG. I am an AMERICAN first and foremost. I care more about the welfare of my country and of my fellow countrymen than how I'm "supposed" to think or act in regards to my political leanings. I will ALWAYS be an American and I will ALWAYS support what's best for my country. Anyway, lower and middle class liberals are on the chopping block with this one too. This is a chance for BOTH liberals AND conservatives to see eye to eye for once. To actually stand shoulder to shoulder (no matter how revolting that may seem) on an issue and work TOGETHER to solve it. This is neither a political issue nor a race issue, this is an American issue.

The 'Radical Left'

Outlaw, Outlaw, Outlaw (Dear God, I wonder could you save me?)

- Tupac Shakur

Seems the reich loves to toss out this expression when referring to those of us on the "left" who adamantly oppose THEIR president and the criminal acts of this admini$tration. This is the most common phrase by the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh (drug addict) when describing we "non believers." It's said harshly to make us all appear as dirty, violent, civilization hating maniacs who wish for nothing more than the complete collapse of this country and the "theft" of money by way of higher taxes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Except for the taxes.

I am in no way a "radical." Aside from the tattoos and a few choice piercings, I am as bland and boring as the regular American. The body art is simply my way of STILL holding some control over my own frame. There is nothing the religious reich would like more than to regulate not only what happens WITHIN our bodies but what we are permitted to do to the outside as well. Tattoos are my way of telling them to go fuck themselves, I'm still in control here. Like it or leave it, it still does not make me a radical.

Am I in some form or fashion a criminal? Is that where the term "radical" fits me? Well, I do have three unpaid parking tickets. Tickets which I have NO INTENTION of ever paying because the city in which I reside extorts it's residents by handing out parking tickets like, well, parking tickets, whether deserved or not. They KNOW you will pay them, so they rake in MILLIONS of dollars a year by writing illegitimate tickets. In fact, they paid for the new football stadium with revenue from parking tickets (they went up 300% in the year of the stadium financing. Nice.) Don't extort me. Come up to me and hold a gun to my head and demand the $15.00. At least that would take some guts. Parking tickets are the pussy way out. So the three I received when I was NOT parked illegally will remain unpaid until the day I die. For this am I deserving of the term "radical?" Hardly.

So it MUST be my appearance, right? I probably walk through town in an anarchy t-shirt and a bandana disguising my features. A can of spray paint shoved down the back of my baggy jeans, ready to write an epithapht on a barren wall or on some poor fellas SUV. My hair must be styled in a mohawk and I probably spit on the sidewalk a lot. I smack babies, too. I wish. As I write this, I'm sporting a pair of JCrew jeans, some white addias, a "Smiths" tshirt and a very nice Ann Klein watch. My hair is nothing to get worked up over, although it probably does need a comb run through it. I haven't smacked any babies in at least a week and my career in graffiti is limited to my bumper stickers and the erasure board in my kitchen where I write my weekly shopping list. I do own two pitbulls and two rats. Does that count? At last check, the pitbulls haven't attacked and killed anyone in the last year and the rats are tucked safely away in their cage. So far I'm pitifully failing the 'radical' check list.

So if it's not my crimes or my appearance, it must be my political beliefs. I mean, what else could it possibly be? So let's see where I stand on these telling issues. I don't believe our country should be pre-emptively attacking countries that were of no threat to us and I don't think the American people should be LIED TO in order to gain our support for a pre-emptive attack. I don't think our country should be borrowing one BILLION dollars a DAY to finance this "war" and to give the rich in this country $70 BILLION dollars in tax cuts. I don't think our debt ceiling should be $9 TRILLION dollars and I don't think our good paying jobs should be shipped overseas to save the employers money. I don't think money for the needy should be cut as well as loans for kids to go to college so this money can be transfered to the tax cuts for the already mega-rich. I don't think the drug companies should get tax breaks so they can continue to over charge us on their (often) unnecessary products. I don't think our Constitutional rights should be taken away so the president can spy on us, search us and arrest us at will.

I think the American people should be able to protest at will and should not be segregated in "free speech" zones where they are often arrested anyway. I don't think people detained by this government should be held with no charges for as long as the government desires to hold them. What if they one day they decide to detain you or me? Would YOU like to be held indefinitely with no chance of ever speaking to a lawyer? I doubt it. I don't think our environment should be destroyed so the chemical and oil companies can continue to rake in huge profits. I don't think global warming should be ignored and written of as a "radical" idea. I don't think the endangered species act should be nullified to benefit the developers, the chemical companies and (again) the oil companies. Who gave us the right to render other species extinct so we can build more mcmansions or put up another Wal-Mart? What happens when someday "someone" decides to make humans extinct? What goes around, comes around.

I don't think religious beliefs should be shoved down the throats of those who choose to think differently. Religion (ANY religion) shouldn't be taught in schools and it has no place in our halls of goverment. Americans should be free to worship whichever religion (or non-religion) they choose without fear of repercussions. Remember, this is one of the main reasons this country was founded in the first place. My body is my body and what I decide to do with it is up to me and me alone. If your religion teaches YOU otherwise fine, but since I choose not to accept your beliefs I should, in no way, be affected by them. IN NO WAY. Just as I would not expect a christian to be forced to follow the teaching is Islam, I do not expect chritianity to be installed as the official religion of this country.

I don't want our soldiers sent to a war zone on a lie and killed in the process. How am I "unAmerican" or any less patriotic because I don't desire to see my fellow Americans killed for no reason whatsoever? I don't want to see us preemptively attack yet ANOTHER country (Iran) and quite possibly start world war III. I don't think our media should all be owned by corporations that answer to the government and I especially don't believe strictly propoganda outfits such as Faux News should be allowed to function as if they're a legitimate news outlet. I don't like it that our elections are now administered and our votes counted by private companies, all of which are major contributers to the republican party.

I don't think this country should have fear shoved down their throats at every turn. I don't believe a citizenry run and governed on fear is a healthy or productive way to live. I don't appreciate your goverment trying to control my actions like a marrionette by constantly sending us running for cover. By doing so, by holding threats over our heads they are able to keep us silent. And by continually presenting us with something new to fear, day after day after day, they are able to keep us busy, keep our minds focused on the threat of fear, while they steal our treasury and bankrupt our coffers. By keeping the people continually fearful, awaiting the hammer to fall at any moment, they "convinced" us to relinquish our constitutional rights. No fight was offered, no great moral outcry was heard. Except from us on the "radical left." We were the only ones who spoke up, not just for ourselves, but for you, too. But we were IMMEDIATLEY maligned, deemed unpatriotic, labeled communists and our voices were more or less silenced.

And I don't like it that I could possibly be arrested for holding the beliefs which I just spelled out for you.

How many times have I been told "you're probably on a watch list" or "they're gonna come talk to you one of these days." For what? For simply stating the obvious and exercising my first amendment rights? Is this what you want for this country? Would you like it if we "radical lefties" were arrested and detained for speaking our minds? If so, then you desire to live in Stalin's Russia where the NKGB rounded up anyone and everyone who they "believed" was a detriment to those in power. They killed and imprisoned MILLIONS. For this, I feel bad for you for you have NO IDEA what you are getting yourself into. What kind of a hell of accusations and blame are you wishing upon this country? Just remember, you are not immune. In such an environment, all it takes is ONE person pointing the finger at you or dropping your name in a conversation. Just one inkling of doubt, one seed planted in the minds of those in power. Once the finger pointing starts, it never ends. No one is safe, no matter how religious or patriotic you think yourself to be.

Do these simple simple beliefs seem so "radical" to you? If these beliefs are what constitutes a "radical leftist" than this is a title I will wear proudly. Radical to me is a president who believes he has the power of a dictator over the people. Radical is disassembling our constitution right under our noses and declaring those who protest it "terrorist sympathizers." Radical is instituting a christian theocracy and regulating our daily lives based on the supposed "morals" of this religion. Radical is bankrupting the middle class, exporting our jobs overseas and nullifying peoples pensions that they have worked 30 years to attain. Radical is constantly raising the "threat level" whenever you need to shift the peoples attention from one criminal activity or another perpetrated by this admin$tration. Radical is obtaining authorization to drop a nuclear weapon on a country that has yet to attack us. Radical is silencing any question regarding the events that happend here on September 11th, 2001. Radical is locking up those who disagree with this admini$tration and spying on the phone calls and emails of it citizenry without the required warrants. Radical is lying to our armed forces and sending them overseas to get shot at and blown to pieces. Radical is OUTLAWING the photographing of these soldiers' coffins as they retrun home. Radical is manipulating the media to only report what you deem acceptable. Radical is not standing up for your rights and accepting at face vale any and all things this government tells you. Radical is sitting by passively or actively assisting your country as it enters the abyss. Radical is bankrupting your own country.

We "radical leftists" are the same people who, 230 years ago, dared sign their names to that fateful document and took a bold swing at the most powerful country on the planet. We were the little guys, the farmers, the millworkers, the writers, the musicians, the sharecroppers, the store owners and the fishermen. The regular person who said "enough is enough" and fought back for what they believed to be rightfully theirs. They didn't demand much, only freedom. Freedom to speak as they wish, to worship, or not worship, as they wish. To live their lives free of governmental intrusion. To "Live Free Or Die." They picked up their muskets and formed a rag tag army to fight for a land they could call their own. A land where they could live and prosper as they wish. These were the "radical leftists." And I'm proud to carry the same title. You, on the other hand, could be labled a tory.

FILE SHARING

The times they are a changin'

- Bob Dylan

I remember when I got my first computer about 10 years ago. I had a lousy dial up that would take you an hour to download a page, you couldn't watch streaming video and couldn't listen to streaming audio without 4,000 interruptions. It was also during this period that I discovered Napster. Remember Napster? I managed to download 800 songs with a dialup! Now that's dedication. You can imagine the time and effort that went into that feat. Anyway, one bright day I decided I should really invest in a cable modem. Two days later I was online. What used to take 3 hours for one song NOW took 20 seconds. I couldn't believe my eyes (nor my ears). Soon, I had 10,000 songs. I bought new surround sound speakers and a new sound card and there was a concert at my house 24 hours a day! My neighbors hate me.

Then they outlawed Napster. So I switched to Kazaa where I have been ever since. I don't understand the whole uproar over file sharing. Why is file sharing illegal but if I wanted to come to your home, borrow all your CD's, tape them and bring them back to you THAT is perfectly legal? Why can I purchase USED CD's on Amazon.com and eBay and 10,000 similar websites but I can't download these same songs onto my computer? When you resell a used CD, the music industry isn't getting any money from THAT transaction either. Just yesterday I was in the city in a used CD store. They must have had 200,000 used CD's. It was wall to wall used cd's. Nobody but the proprietor of the store is making money off the transactions completed within his store, so what's the difference with file sharing? It's simply a new technology. Instead of getting in my car and driving to your house to borrow and record your CD collection, I can NOW simply go online and "drive" to your house through the internet and "borrow" your CD collection.

The major misunderstanding with file sharing is that all 1,000,000 songs are stored on some huge server and you simply log onto this particular server and download the songs from there. That's not how it works. You sign up for the file sharing service and when you log onto the website, your computer is connected to every other computer on the service. You are NOT taking songs from some huge cache of songs all located in one spot (that, I agree, would be wrong). You are connecting to whichever persons computer happens to have the particular song (or movie) you are looking for. In order for this song to show up on ones computer, someone had to purchase the original CD and upload it to their computer. These songs don't just magically appear outta nowhere. Someone had to spend the money to buy the CD. Just because the access to "get to the persons house" to record their CD collection has changed is NOT the consumers fault. Technology changes at a rapid rate these days, especially when it comes to computers. It is simply a new technology that allows me to come to your house and tape your cd collection via the internet.

I can understand that if you take these songs and resell them on the street how that could be deemed "stealing" but you can't tape someone's CD collection and sell that either. As long as you are recording them for personal use, it's legal. So where is the problem? The problem is that the music industry hasn't come to terms with the fact that technology changes and that they put out any old piece of shit and sell it for $15.00. Back in the 70's, you could buy a record and count on the fact that the artist actually cared enough about their music not to sell their fans total shit. I wish I had been around in the 70's to appreciate the music of the time. Just look at every Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd album as examples. EVERY song on EVERY album they dropped in a 10 year period was quality. The same doesn't apply anymore. You can go blow $15.00 on a cd and find that there are only one or two viable songs on it. Is that fair? The music industry and the artists themselves have become completely greed obsessed and fuck the consumer, he or she will just have to buy our crap. Well not anymore. If I download an album and it sucks, I delete it and there's not a chance I'm gonna waste my hard earned cash on it in the store. HOWEVER....if I download an album and it's actually GOOD, I will go to the store and purchase it (I just ordered 10 CD's from Amazon yesterday). The consumer has simply leveled the playing field. Put out decent shit and it'll sell. Put out shit and rip off the consumer and we'll take our revenge.

To date I have so many songs I can't count. I listen to them in the privacy of my home and in my car. I don't sell them and I have no desire to sell them. I also don't make CD's for friends. If they ever completely outlaw filesharing (I don't see how they will. Shut down one service and 10 pop up in its place) I will never buy another CD as long as I live. The music industry makes bazillions of dollars each year. And I've seen MTV cribs, non of these artists seem to be on the street starving. Maybe they couldn't buy their 10th Bentley or their 100th diamond encrusted (completely absurd) platinum jesus piece because of the file sharing programs. Tough shit. My heart bleeds for you. Main stream music sucks these days anyway. MTV has ruined music. If it's played on the radio or on MTV it gets zero play in my house.

File sharing has also allowed me to diversify my music collection and to appreciate music I would never before have listened to because I would never have spent the $15.00 to purchase a cd from a group I had never heard. Now I can simply download their music and decide for myself whether or not I wish to spend my money on their product. There's alot of quality music out there (you just gotta go looking for it) and file sharing allows me to find and appreciate this music without going broke in the process.

ALTERNATIVES to PLAN-B

Since the christo-fascists and apparently the government feel it's necessary to restrict our rights to make choices regarding our OWN bodies by restricting the access to PLAN-B (the mornig after pill) I am posting here the ALTERNATIVES to using PLAN-B. MOST birth control pills can be taken as morning after medication since all PLAN-B is is a high dose of the hormone found in most BC pills. The list can be found below as well as the link to the website from which I obtained it. OVRAL is the easiest to take for it requires only 2 tablets at a time. This medication is LEGAL (it's simply birth control) and can easily be obtained with a prescription from any doctor. I have been filling prescriptions for years and we have dispensed this medication NUMEROUS times for this exact use. Unless your pharmacist is a christo-fascist there is NO REASON you should be denied a prescription for OVRAL. Simply have your MD write the directions as "AS DIRECTED" so they won't give you some big goddamn hassel if they learn you're planning on having them on hand "just in case." It is up to we WOMEN to take matters in our own hands from now on. Sadly, we can no longer rely on our own Constitution to protect our reproductive rights. I will be posting the easily obtainable (via prescription from your MD, of course) "abortion pills" soon.

I obtained the following information from the link posted below. Always check with your physician before taking your medication in this way, but I felt it important to let women know there ARE options to PLAN-B (which is often hard to find due to the whole "morality" issue.)

Regular Birth Control Pills
**The first dose must be taken within 72 hours of intercourse.

Alesse...5 pink pills within 72 hrs followed by 5 pink pills 12 hrs later

Drawing By a Young Christo-Fascist

In Training

It's good to get em started on the hate-drawing young. Their minds are easier to warp. If I had a kid I'd start em off with the simple swastika first. Nothing too difficult, just a simple broad stroke swastika they could draw with their crayons or giant markers or whatever. Then we could work up from there. Maybe try some hooded klansman killing a black family or a long nosed JEW heading towards the "shower." Ya know, something that would take a little more talent and would allow the child to use more colors than just the boring black swastika. As you can see in the kids drawing above, he/she used sufficent color when disparaging the FAGS, Muslims, atheists, etc etc. Jesus would be proud of this young Van Gogh. When they hit maybe 15 or 16, for their piece de resistance, I would allow them to draw (in color, of course) a fully functioning concentration camp OR (I give choices) the mob beating and subsequent lynching of a gay youth. Either one is fine with me. Just as long as they're in color and don't go outside the lines.

The website where I located the above drawing is frightening. I would put up the link so you could check it out yourself, but I don't want that psycho shit fouling up my blog. If you wanna view it, the website is in the bottom corner of the picture. The whole site is dedicated to "exposing Islam induction in our textbooks." Um.......sure. Whatever. Just another bit on nonsense for the religious loons to work themselves into a lather over.

Well I'm signing off. I have some derogatory drawings of Christians to do. Should I show the Christians wearing white or red jackets as they oppress women and force them to carry the child of their rapist? Hmmmmm......decisions, decisions.

OPERATION SOME STUPID NAME

Everytime I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray

- New Order

Aka Bu$h's approval ratings at all time low....LET'S EXPLOIT OUR SOLDIERS. I'm surprised that they didn't choose today to nuke Iran. I mean, why not? Everytime Bu$h's rating fall (plummet to be exact) or something negative crawls into the light in regards to this foul administration, we either bomb something or up the goddamn terror level. They simply tug on your fear string or they get all the patriotic juices flowing by parading our soldiers in front of the camera as they head off to get shot at. One of these days they're gonna make SURE it's not a false alarm.

Two days ago they proudly declared the beginning of OPERATION SWARMER....a "major" operation with "thousands" of troops. I think they said it was supposedly the "biggest" attack since the early days of the war. I'm sure. Looked more lie "Operation Photo-Op" to me. Did you see the video of those soldiers landing on what looked like the north side of mars and running through a completely empty desert? I've heard since that not a shot was fired and that they released all the prisoners they had taken. What are we doing in Iraq?

So Bu$h is down to a 34% approval rating (according to either Time or Newsweek, I can't remember which). 34% sounds about right. I've been declaring for about a year or so now that 34 % of the American people are simple drones. This trend is apparent on any internet poll you may engage in. No matter how OBVIOUS the question (last one I saw was "Is the U.S. Ready For A Female President?) the ridiculous answer is always holding a strong 34%. How many Americans is that? Lets see....300,000 million Americans (give or take) and 34% would be, what....102,000,000 people? WOW. No wonder I don't leave the house. I have a 1 in 3 chance of stumbling into a zombie pit and having my brain sucked outta my skull. So 34% percent of these assinine idiots support the continued killings in Iraq, support the bombing of Iran, the revocation of our constitutional rights, the instalation of right wing christian fascism into every facet of our lives, the continued bankrupting of our coffers to pay for this insane war and to provide tax cuts to the rich and every other piece of shit legislation that has occued since the Supreme Court declared Bu$h our Fuhrer in 2000. How nice. That should be 102,000,000 people lining up at the military recruiting offices to enlist. Right?

Did the terror level go up today too? I stopped paying attention to that the second I cut off my cable television. Now I only get SUPER basic cable and a cable modem. I no longer chance turning past O'Reilly's lie fest by mistake or Chris Matthews oral session with one republican lawmaker or another. The only news I watch is the News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. They don't bother with the rainbow colored terror chart. That is reserved for the 34% of America who must plan their day around a pretty color chart provided by Faux News. The kind of people who stare into the sun and then wonder why they can't see.

Instead of the terror level I see they've been focusing on the Bird Flu as their sacre tactic. Two days ago the Health and Human Services Secretary announced to a terrified viewing audience that the bird flu was imminent, it was gonna kill EVERYONE and and that we should all stock up on canned tuna and powdered milk. I went to the grocery store the other night to refill on these lollipops I am addicted to (6/$1.00. You can't beat that) and decided to see if the sheep had answered the call by the fear machine. I strolled down the canned goods aisle and, low and behold, ALL the tuna fish was sold out. I didn't even bother checking the powderd milk. I simply shook my head, thought of something I could tell America they needed to buy to fend off the PANDEMIC, and left. Americans are whores to the media. Bu$h probably has stock in Starkist company or something. We already know that Rumsfeld plans on raking in a fortune with his stock in the Tamiflu manufacturers. Remind me to laugh when Tamiflu doesn't even work on H5N1.

I am concerned about bird flu from the angle that this government has no idea what it's doing (a la Hurricane Katrina) and will not be prepared should a pandemic materialize. THAT'S what I'm worried about. As far as contracting the bird flu? As I mentioned previously, I have a gas mask with a brand new NBC filter and I have no problem not leaving the house (my bunker of secular utopia) for as long as it takes for the flu to burn out. I also purchased gas masks for my mom and dad, so I'm not too concerned about them either. Except that they might kill each other if they had to stay locked in close quarters for an extended period of time. But beside that, we're good.

When will the inevitable terrorist attack occur in this country that Bu$h will blame on Iran and use as the excuse he needs to nuke them? I am predicting this occurance before the end of Bu$h's "term" in office. He can then declare the country to be in a "state of war," suspend the Constitution and postpone the elections forever. We may never get rid of this group from office. They've dug themselves in and we are at their mercy. The people in this country have no power anymore and we have no "legal" way to unseat them aside from voting them out. But with the elections all fixed due to the Diebold machines and other "activities" of the reich, we can't get rid of them by simply "voting them out." We are going to have to dig them out. Welcome to "Operation Scabies."

FOLLOW TRAFFIC PATTERNS

Anyone who has ever operated or ridden in a motor vehicle has seen the above sign alongside the roadway. It usually appears where construction is being done on the road so traffic is often slow to begin with. So why am I writing this post? Why am I taking time out of my very angry day to remind you all what this sign means? That's easy.....today I was returning from the pet store and was driving on one of those 3 lane highways that is seemingly ALWAYS under construction (There is at least ONE road like this in everybody's neighborhood, so I'm sure you all know what I mean) when I encountered the aforementioned sign.

I'm loping along at a good 30 mph tops (due to the year round, never accomplishing anything construction) when I see the following sign. So I, of course, get over right away. Now comes the topic of this post. I HATE PEOPLE who CONTINUE to drive in the lane that's ABOUT TO CLOSE and follow IN THAT LANE until they MUST merge thus BLOCKING TRAFFIC in the center lane for 1,000 miles. What is the problem with simply pulling outta the right hand lane as soon as you see this sign? You have to speed up and drive like a fucking asshole then FORCE your way in front of someone who followed the correct traffic pattern. And if that person fails to yield to YOUR IMPORTANT CAR, you almost smash into them trying to get over before you run outta road. I hate this. This should be an executable offense. It's effect is magnified by a billion if you're driving in the CITY and traffic in the right lane must merge into the center. You can be stuck in a seemingly ENDLESS traffic jam cuz of all the fucking ASSHOLES who must speed ahead of everyone to get "the best spot."

Where are you going? Unless you have a victim of a sucking chest wound in the back seat of your car, WHY must you position yourself to be MAYBE 3 cars ahead of where you would have been had you simply pulled to the left ASAP? This infuriates me to no end. I wanna get outta my car, drag the offending driver onto the concrete and pummel them into oblivion, all the while screaming "JUST PULL THE FUCK OVER YOU TRAFFIC JAM CAUSING ASSHOLE!!!" I could probably do this too and not hold up traffic cuz ALL traffic is ALREADY at a dead stop due to YOU. I hate people. And blinding stupidity in traffic just magnifies this hate.

**I have decided to use this blog to get off my chest ALL that bothers me, not just politics and religion. I have been told venting like this is healthier than parading around the bunker in my underwear while spinning the barrel of a large caliber handgun and yelling at my dogs. We'll see. As to date, I've been pretty successful with the whole underwear/barrel spinning/dog berating thing. But I'll give it a try.

IRAN

Missiles in America, deep down in the ground. They're pointing straight at Russia, they're pointing all around. A small red button gently pressed, will set those missiles free. And when they land with one big bang, the end of you and me. American leaders - who'll start the war? Soviet leaders - who'll start the war? There are missiles in the U.S.S.R. pointing straight at you. Aimed at the United States of America, aimed at Britain too. A small red button gently pressed will set those missiles free. And when they land with one big bang, No hope for you and me. American leaders - who'll start the war? Soviet leaders - who'll start the war? American leaders, who'll start the war? Who'll be a cowboy? What's the missiles for?

- The Exploited

We are going to attack Iran. Probably with tactical nuclear weapons (Cheney already obtained authorization to use tactical nukes a few months back. Here's the link:http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=6734 ) because Iran's uranium enrichment facilities are buried so deep into the earth. I simply cannot wrap my mind around this prospect. It's aftermath will be too horrible, both for the Iranians AND for ourselves.

Yesterday, Bu$h reaffrimed his "strike first" policy. "When the consequences of an attack with weapons of mass destruction are potentially so devastating, we cannot afford to stand idly by as grave dangers materialize. … The place of pre-emption in our national security strategy remains the same" National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley stated. He goes on to say "The president's strategy affirms that the doctrine of pre-emption remains sound and must remain an integral part of our national security strategy. If necessary, the strategy states, under longstanding principles of self defense, we do not rule out the use of force before attacks occur, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy's." Jesus P. Christ. I don't even know what to say about this. Do the hawks understand the shit storm this will unleash upon this country? We cannot go around attacking other countries, ESPECIALLY with tactical nuclear weapons.

So Iran has the WMD's now, huh? If you took what Bu$h et al told us about Iraq and simply change it to Iran you would have the same exact rhetoic. Rumsfeld and Bu$h just recently started blaming Iran for IED's found around Baghdad. But General Peter Pace, when asked about these connections to Iran, said he new of no such thing. Gee, Rumsfled and Bu$h lying to us. Who woulda thought? I mean, they didn't make up random lies regarding Iraq and their supposed nuclear and biological weapons programs, did they? Now they are doing the EXACT SAME THING with Iran. They are gong to convince you that attacking Iran is of utmost importance for the survival of our country. Maybe they'll even try to stage another Gulf of Tonkin. Who knows. But one thing I DO know....Bu$h really thinks you're stupid. Maybe you are.

Iran is AT LEAST 10 years away from developing a nuclear weapon, if they develop one at all. My feeling on this is simple....who are WE to decide what country can or cannot possess nuclear weapons? Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and they're run by a military dictator who is one car bomb away from being overthrown by the Islamic fundamentalist groups who have been trying to kill him for 3 years. Do we demand Pakistan turn over their nukes or do we threaten to "strike" them? Oh no, we NEED them so they get a pass. We just sold India nuclear techology so they could build MORE nukes which flies completely in the face of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.

Isreal has nukes too. And I don't doubt for a second that they would use them. But again, they're our buddies, so their nukes are "good." France and Russia have nukes, but they're white people so they, too, get a pass. China has tons of nukes and they're a communist country who has threatened us with them if we ever tried to interfer in their attampt to retake Taiwan. But they hold all our debt, so we can't attack them nor insist they disarm. And what about North Korea? Aren't the in the "Axis Of Evil?" Why don't we attack North Korea? I bet it's because they don't have anything we want and they might just nuke South Korea if we DID attack them. So you see, if I was Iran I would WANT a nuke to protect myself against an unprovoked attack by the good ole U.S of A.

See, we don't "preemptively" attack countries that have nukes, do we? We KNEW Iraq and Afghanistan were nuke free so we attacked them. To attack another country armed with nukes would be foolish. So I can completely understand why Iran desires nuclear weapons. Wouldn't WE want nukes if the tables were turned and lets say China was randomly atacking other countries? You bet your ass we would. We are not the worlds police nor do the American citizens desire to be the worlds police. Of course, the armchair chickenhawks and the reich desire such power, but they are unwilling to sacrifice themselves or their children to fill the ranks of the military. Yes they want these preemptive attacks but they should be carried out by other peoples children. It's easy to be pro-war from the safety and relative comfort of your living room.

If Bu$h attacks Iran with tactical nuclear weapons we will open the floodgates of hate upon this country the likes of which we have never before seen. We will be the pariah of the planet. NOBODY will want to deal with us. NOBODY. They all hate us already, I can imagine what an attack against ANOTHER country (escpecially one using nuclear weapons) would do to our position in the world. Has Bu$h et al even thought of the reprocussions of such an attack? What if everyone stared dumping our bonds? The dollar would bottom out and we'd have a depression that would surapss the 1930's by a thousandfold. What if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz? How difficult would that be? This Strait links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman through which travels the majority of our oil. All Iran would need to do would be to sink a freighter at the opening of the Strait and no oil would get through. Oil prices would skyrocket to $100 a barrel and gas would be $10.00 a gallon. Now please remember, every aspect of our comfy lives is dependant upon oil. If they cut off the oil, our comfy lives will quickly fade into oblivion. No more malls, no more country clubs, no more suv's, no more air conditioning, no TELEVISION! What would you people do?

What about retaliatory attacks against our mighty "homeland?" Have we thought of that? You can bet your ass that if we attack Iran we would see suicide bombings and other forms of terror take place in "the homeland" on a daily basis. You idiots who get all erect over the thought of carpet bombing and dropping nukes are idiots. Total idiots. You have no idea what such an attack would do to us.

Bu$h is a man with no soul. He and Cheney and Woflowitz and Rumsfeld are blood drenched murderers. They don't care about you and me. They don't care about "securing the homeland" as they claim every 15 seconds. Bu$h and his crime family are out for themselves and for the monetry advancement of their rich friends. Someone really rich will get richer by our attacking Iran. Look at every move this man and these republicans in both the House and the Senate have ever made in the last 5 plus years. Every bill, every law, every attack has benefited the wealthy in one way or another. While the little guy, the regular American is left to die on the battlefield, to clean up the mess and to foot the fucking bill. Bu$h doesn't need congressional approval to attack another country. We ALREADY GAVE HIM THAT POWER when we authorized force against Iraq. Did you idiots think of that when you were screaming for revenge for 9/11? With revenge in your eyes and no thought in your heads, you gladly gave this ex-alcoholic and coke addict the power to attack whomever he and his cabal of bloodthirsty freaks wants. This man can do anything he wants with our military, with our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers and sons and daughters. He can bomb WHO he wants WHEN he wants. We have no say. We are at this mans mercy and this man is insane.

NIGHT RIDERS

We are scanning the scene In the city tonite. We are looking for you To start up a fight. There is an evil feeling In our brains, But it is nothing new You know it drives us insane - Agent Orange

I read the following story about Mike Malloy receiving death threats against his 19 month old daughter (threats to kill and rape her) and the anger boiled up inside me to an entirely new degree. A kind of hate I had only glimpsed before for a spilt second and then it subsided. Now this hate is burning a fire in my soul. Usurping every other emotion and digging itself a permanent, firey spot my gut. I don't like the feeling. But it's clouding my better judgment.

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/California_woman_who_says_she_was_0315.html

If Mike Malloy offends you, if you can't stand hearing negative statements made about your idol, Bu$h, then simply refrain from listening to his show. It's that simple. If it upsets you that much to hear what Bu$h and his republican cronies are doing to our country and to its citizenry, write letters of protest to Mike. Explain your position and why you believe he is wrong. But to threaten to rape and kill his daughter is beyond contempt. Yet you claim to be a "good christian." You are not a good, god fearing christian. You are not a friend of Jesus. You are a morally devoid sick piece of shit who deserves to be buried beneath the jail. Is this what your Jesus would do? All the pictures you have of Jesus throughout your home, do they scream murder, rape and subjugation at you? Does your Bible tell you to attack nonbelievers? Is it written somewhere in your bible that threatening to rape and murder the children of those with whom you disagree is the "christian" thing to do? If it is, than I feel quite bad for you for you have been brainwashed by insanity. You are both putrid and evil.

This is what has become of our country. The reich is incapable of arguing their points and revert to threats and viciousness. This increasingly violent stance is evident is all aspects of our society. We have become a people who would rather kill, attack or burn down the houses of those with whom we disagree instead of holding an academic conversation. We are dealing with people of inadequate education, poor upbringing and frightening religious brainwashing who are simply incapable of defending their positions without violence.

When do the Night Rides begin? When do you mount your stead and ride through the night, routing individuals with whom you disagree from their houses and lynching them? When do they start burning their crosses on the lawns of atheists, agnostics, liberals, democrats, Muslims, Jews and FAGS in an attempt at silencing and intimidating those with beliefs they find repugnant? The KKK hasn't gone away. It has simply changed their name to "American Family Association," "The Family Research Council," "Focus on the Family," "Repent America," and "The Republican Party" etc etc. Instead of holding meetings in their garages or behind drawn curtains, they hold them openly now, in their churches. They proudly proclaim their violent beliefs on these Christian programs that have flooded our airwaves and spew forth their hate filled rehtoric on the reich-wing talk shows that inundate our radio dials. They stand on street corners and assault women who are entering abortion clinics, they protest at funerals of soldiers and assault and kill homosexuals, of whom they are afraid. No, the KKK hasn't disbanded and become a thing of the past. They have simply replaced their white hoods and with crucifixes,"W'04" stickers and republican party affiliation cards.

The supposed "real christians" need to check themselves and see what has become of their religion. Look at the supposed "leaders" of the christian movement. Christianity has morphed into a hate party whose sermons and declarations should be silenced under the "hate speech" laws. But every facet of our government has be infiltrated by the new Klan. They have dug themselves in like lice in pubic hair. And they continue to multiply.

I have reached a point with these people that is dangerous. Don't speak to me if you are a reich-winger. Don't approach me, don't even look at me. Infect your own families with your filthy disease. The time has come where I am no longer able to deal with these people on any civil level whatsoever. You are my sworn enemy. An enemy with whom I will not be satifsfied until it is wiped off this continent. Removed from my vision and whose stench of hate is cleansed from my nostrils. I am no longer capable of even feigning civility around christo-fascist republicans. I look upon them with a dangerous feeling of contempt and disgust which I'm sure is visible in my scowled face and balled up fists. I tremble in the presence of a republican, not from fear of them, but from fear of myself. You can only fuck with people for so long until they revert to their animal instincts and strike back. Maybe ALL "non-believers" should be granted firearm carry permits to protect themselves from unwarrented, unprovoked attacks by the christian right.

MIGRAINE

Currently suffering from a blinding migraine most likely brought on by viewing Russ Feingold (D. Wisconsin) being eviscerated by the reich on the floor of the Senate yesterday. Feingold DARED to call for Bu$h to be censured and the reich, knowing no other thing to do, fell back on their old trusty word "terror" and accused Feingold of assisting the terrorists. I hate these people.

That's when the pain and the vomiting began and it hasn't subsided since. I think I was actually blind for a few minutes yesterday, but it may have been a pain induced hallucination. I've mentioned before that I gave myself high blood pressure from being so furious all the time and I'm sure this migraine is a result of a sudden spike in blood pressure. It took me three full hours just to get my throbbing head off the pillow to type this. I lay there thinking "Ok, if you can just get up you can type SOMETHING on the blog." The thought of actually rising from my death bed was ludicrous, and I was sure the light from my monitor would blind me forever and cause sudden, unstoppable emesis. So I lay there for three hours trying to get up enough courage to rise. I almost passed out when I stood up to walk the 2 feet to my computer and a wave of nausea swept over me like a tsunami. I have been swallowing Excedrin like its candy (goodbye, liver!) and I'm hoping to recover by tomorrow. If not, I will kill myself. One can only survive a migraine for so long. Back to my death bed I go. I'll be back ranting and raving tomorrow (if I'm still amongst the living.)

Justice O'Connor Warns U.S Headed

Towards Dictatorship

Don't say I didnt tell you so. Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor gave a speech in front of Georgetown University and remarked that the U.S. could be headed towards dictatorship. Sticking true to their game, I was unable to find this reported in ANY U.S. papers and could only locate it in England's "The Guradian" Newspaper. Ahhh, the liberal media.

With no further adieu, here's the link and the text of the article:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1729396,00.html

Former top judge says US risks edging near to dictatorship · Sandra Day O'Connor warns of rightwing attacks· Lawyers 'must speak up' to protect judiciary Julian Borger in WashingtonMonday March 13, 2006 The Guardian

Sandra Day O'Connor, a Republican-appointed judge who retired last month after 24 years on the supreme court, has said the US is in danger of edging towards dictatorship if the party's rightwingers continue to attack the judiciary.
In a strongly worded speech at Georgetown University, reported by National Public Radio and the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, Ms O'Connor took aim at Republican leaders whose repeated denunciations of the courts for alleged liberal bias could, she said, be contributing to a climate of violence against judges.

Ms O'Connor, nominated by Ronald Reagan as the first woman supreme court justice, declared: "We must be ever-vigilant against those who would strong-arm the judiciary." She pointed to autocracies in the developing world and former Communist countries as lessons on where interference with the judiciary might lead. "It takes a lot of degeneration before a country falls into dictatorship, but we should avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings."
In her address to an audience of corporate lawyers on Thursday, Ms O'Connor singled out a warning to the judiciary issued last year by Tom DeLay, the former Republican leader in the House of Representatives, over a court ruling in a controversial "right to die" case.

After the decision last March that ordered a brain-dead woman in Florida, Terri Schiavo, removed from life support, Mr DeLay said: "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behaviour." Mr DeLay later called for the impeachment of judges involved in the Schiavo case, and called for more scrutiny of "an arrogant, out-of-control, unaccountable judiciary that thumbed their nose at Congress and the president".

Such threats, Ms O'Connor said, "pose a direct threat to our constitutional freedom", and she told the lawyers in her audience: "I want you to tune your ears to these attacks ... You have an obligation to speak up.
"Statutes and constitutions do not protect judicial independence - people do," the retired supreme court justice said.

She noted death threats against judges were on the rise and added that the situation was not helped by a senior senator's suggestion that there might be a connection between the violence against judges and the decisions they make.
The senator she was referring to was John Cornyn, a Bush loyalist from Texas, who made his remarks last April, soon after a judge was shot dead in an Atlanta courtroom and the family of a federal judge was murdered in Illinois.

Senator Cornyn said: "I don't know if there is a cause and effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country ... And I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters, on some occasions, where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in violence."

Although appointed by a Republican, Ms O'Connor voted with the supreme court's liberals on some divisive issues, including abortion, making her a frequent target for criticism from the right. After announcing that she intended to retire last year at the age of 75, she was replaced in February this year by Samuel Alito, who is generally regarded as being more consistently conservative.
In her speech, Ms O'Connor said that if the courts did not occasionally make politicians mad they would not be doing their jobs, and their effectiveness "is premised on the notion that we won't be subject to retaliation for our judicial acts".

I TOLD YOU SO.

Now are we going to heed this womans advice, or are we going to contiune being governed by FEAR?

LIBERAL TALK RADIO

Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Can you tell me if I'm right or wrong? Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?I wanna know what's goin' on.

- .38 Special

Thank GOD for liberal/progressive talk radio. Air America Radio (AAR) is the best thing to happen to me in years. I can actually say that it more likely than not saved my life. If not my life, than at least my sanity.

I can still remember the day my Uncle turned me on to Air America. It was exactly 321 days ago today. He sent me the link to stream it on my computer. I turned it on in the middle of the Randi Rhodes show and nearly feel out of my comfy computer chair. I simply couldn't believe that there WERE other people with the same beliefs and that they had their OWN RADIO SHOWS! For four years I had thought I was alone in an insane world. We had been taken over in the middle of the night and I had somehow been spared. A blue outpost surrounded by the red enemy.

Before being turned on to AAR, I had been torturing myself and listening to the likes of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh (drug addict), Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, etc etc. I would scream and yell and rant and rave all while trying to keep my car on the road and headed in a straight line. I can honestly say that I actually smashed my head against the steering wheel a few times. Listening to the callers to these shows was no different from my standing in line at the local grocery store and hearing the inane conversations being carried on around me. Narcissistic middle aged women wearing tennis outfits and diamonds out the ass pretending to know anything about world politics is enough to turn any sane human into a psychotic lunatic. So I would drop whatever meager groceries I was carrying and run outta the store before I turned on one of these orange tinted nightmares like a rabid dog. I still don't know why I listened to these reich-wing shows, I guess I subconsciously hated myself and was trying to drive myself insane. It almost worked. Needless to say, the first few seconds of AAR was like a breath of fresh air.

I live approximately 10 miles from a major city but the small town in which my apartment is located is the epitome of a republican stronghold. It's 110% white, it's 99.9% rich (the 0.1% that isn't rich lives in my apartment complex). You can't drive 3 stop lights here without seeing Bentleys, Ferrari's and the highest priced Mercedes and BMW's. And, of course, the obligatory SUV with the "W'04" sticker in the back window. I try to avoid these people like the plague. When I leave the building, I crack open the door to the apartment complex and peek outside. If the coast is clear (aka free of republican zombies) I scramble to my car and haul ass outta town. That is the extent of my relationship with this town. My bunker of secular utopia is located here, and I remain inside away from the brain eating zombies that roam the streets outside. When I do venture out, it is to drive into the city. And the city is where I spend 99% of my time. The other 1% I spend in my mothers zombie dominated town. Fortunate for her, she doesn't carry the same chip on her shoulder as do I and she is able to mix with these "people" without trying to kill them. I am not.

That first day of listening to AAR was great. I sat in my apartment all day and streamed AAR throughout the entire apartment. I had just purchased these new satellite surround sound speakers and a new sound card to go with them and I cranked out liberal sanity all day. I was in heaven. Then 10:00pm rolled around and I settled down to listen to the next host, Mike Malloy. Ten minutes into my first Malloy show and I knew I had found my voice. Here was a man who spoke PRECISELY WHAT I FELT. All the anger was there, all the fury was there, all the feelings of being screwed and cheated by a government which was supposed to represent US. It was as if someone had plugged a microphone into my head and all my thoughts were coming out but instead of ME speaking them, it was Mike. I felt like I'd known him for years. It was strange. Now I never miss a show. I have actually told people I "have to go" in order to rush home and listen to myself, I mean Malloy, rant and rave about the injustices being perpetrated upon the American people. Mike speaks for US, the little guy, the American. Malloy pulls no punches.

I don't know how long AAR and shows like it will be around. I wouldn't doubt if one day they were all removed from the air for speaking against the government. Remember those fateful lines by Public Enemy ...."Freedom of speech means freedom of death." Until that day, I will do all I can to support AAR and its hosts. They are the only people who speak for US. Contrary to popular belief, there is no "liberal media." AAR and others like them are all we have. Without them our voices will be silenced.

As long as these liberal talk shows continue, I have a schedule which I follow when listening to them. Sometimes I switch back and forth bewteen two or three different shows, depending on what they are discussing. Thanks to Democratic Underground, I discovered numerous OTHER liberal talk show hosts who are on throughout the day. Some are not on AAR and I stream these guys from their particular radio stations or I connect to their internet streams. Most of the people who frequent my angry little blog are already listeners of AAR and the other hosts I link below. If you for some reason HAVEN'T tuned into AAR yet, I beg you to give it a listen. It's important that our views get out there. We ARE at least 50% of the citizenry of this country. Shouldn't we be allowed to freely express OUR views? Or is freedom of the speech limited ONLY to those who support this president and the christian religion? I have provied the links and times for my favorite liberal talk shows below.

DILDO NATION

"I always think 'Nothing can top what they did yesterday' but then it will pale in comparison to what they did today."

- Mike Malloy (Air America Radio) about 2 months ago

No truer words have ever been spoken. Today, still reeling from the revelations by South Dakota's state senator Bill Napoli regarding who he feels is justified in obtaining an abortion (see previous post), I hear that the state of Tennessee is planning on outlawing "genital stimulation devices." In other words, DILDOS. Yes folks, this is what our elected representatives are spending their time working on....outlawing the posession, sale and display of the devils own device, the dildo! This is insanity. So again I will ask you, "where do you draw the line and say enough is enough?" What is the harm in owning, posessing and displaying a goddamn dildo? And what's next? Will you have to produce the recipe in order to purchase cucumbers? Is there any facet of our lives which these christo-fascists DON'T wish to involve themselves in?

I'd laugh, I really would, but it's not funny. It isn't. In a matter of about three weeks or so, the religious reich has flooded the country with these insane "moral" laws. Whose business is it what ANYONE does in private as long as it doesn't physically HARM another living human being? What is it with these fundies that they have this insatiable desire to ingrain themselves in every aspect of our lives? ESPECIALLY the womans life? Is it that their lives are so amazingly DULL that they must live vicariously through the rest of us? Those of us who aren't sexually uptight and repressed? Doesn't their religious life fulfill them? Obviously not. So why are you living that way? If your wish to govern someones life down to the smallest detail, work on your own life and that of your family. I'm not religious. I don't believe abortion is murder, I don't think homosexuals are sinners and I don't think DILDOS are going to be the downfall of all mankind. But I do KNOW that a hell of alot of priests are pedophiles. So YOU can outlaw dildos if WE can outlaw priests. Deal? Of course not. Yours is a one way street.

Here's the link so you can decide on the necessity of this law for yourself: www.nashvillescene.com/Stories/News/Political_Notes/2006/03/02/Down_With_Dildos_/index.shtml

I am not even going to further comment on this (ANOTHER) ridiculous attempt to control our lives by the religious reich for I would simply be repeating myself. Meanwhile, I have some shopping to do before MY state enacts such riduculous legislation. I wonder what time the 'Pleasure Emporium' closes?

My Heartfelt Apology

to South Dakota

It's down to me, yes it is! The way she does just what she's told. Down to me, the change has come, She's under my thumb - Rolling Stones

Seems I owe the Christo-fascist freaks in South Dakota an apology. I said in a previous post titled the "Jesus Beam" that the religious freaks who find it necessary to control every minute detail of a womans life did not allow a stipulation for an abortion in the case of rape or incest in their new "abortion ban." Here, I was wrong. Seems they DO in fact allow for an abortion under a specific set of completely acceptable circumstances. South Dakota state Senator Bill Napoli described a COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE situation in which an exception to South Dakota's ban on abortion may be allowed. Napoli said "A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life." See, I was wrong. I apologize.

Excuse me while I throw the hell up. Let's look at what this zealot just said. First, aren't ALL RAPES brutal and savage? Or is there a kind of "compassionate" rape that I'm not aware of? Second, the poor women must be RELIGIOUS. For some reason I'm thinking she must be of a PARTICULAR religion (CHRISTIAN) in order for this "exception" to be approved. Jews, atheists, muslims, Buddhists, etc etc are HEATHENS and DESERVED to be raped. Third....she must be a VIRGIN. This is obvious, cuz any SLUT who had DARED had sex in the past obviously wasn't raped. She probably enjoyed it, and more likely than not, she DESERVED IT. She was probably asking for it. There is nothing hotter than some violent, unknown assailant forcing his d*** into you. No, this is FUN! FOURTH....vaginal rape isn't bad enough. No. Plain old boring vaginal rape is not deserving of an abortion. Nope. It's not bad enough. Most women can handle the old vaginal rape just fine. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and START ALL OVER AGAIN. She must ALSO be SODOMIZED and brutalized in some OTHER way. Who will decide "how badly" she was brutalized, raped and sodomized? Will each woman have to appear before a "rape determination commission" which will decide if the rape was "serious enough" to be justified as a rape? Will they base their decision on a point system? One point for bruises, three points for vaginal tearing, five points for a damaged spleen, ten points for strangle marks around the girls neck, 50 points for bleeding from the ass and 100 points for permanent brain damage? What will be the required point total in order for this girls "ordeal" to rate as an actual rape? All the others, I suppose, will be rated as "rough sex," the girl will be marked with a scarlet "S" for SLUT and sent on her merry way. But the last sentence of Mr. Napoli's declaration REALLY blows my mind. I guess only a RELIGIOUS VIRGIN would be so messed up by being raped and subsequently impregnated by her assailant that it could "very well threaten her life." Me, I'd like to get raped. Yes I would. In fact, I can't wait. I don't think it would mess me up at all. I might kinda like it. FUCK YOU.

Do you people see what we are dealing with here? These religious freaks are completely sick in the head. There is no possible way a normal human being could read the above quotation and interpret it any other way. These are Nazi's whose sole goal in life is to subjugate women to their beliefs. It is my goal to see these people driven into the sea. Is this what is to become of America? Are the people of this country to be governed, to have their LIVES RUN, by these insane religious zombies? Stay the hell away from me. I'm serious, stay.. the.. hell.. away.. from.. me. Subjugate your OWN family and your diseased followers. I want nothing of it. I swear to spend my remaining time on this planet doing everything I can to destroy you freaks. I swear to it. Is this fascist Napoli married? Does he have children? How would he react if one of his DAUGHTERS or his WIFE was raped? Would he tell them to "suck it up", as he is telling every other woman in this country? I doubt it. Where can I hire a rapist? I'm sorry, that wasn't very CHRISTIAN of me, was it?

KEEP YOUR ROSARIES OFF MY OVARIES!

**the above photo is not me but it shows my exact reaction to Mr. Napoli's statement and to the religious reich in general.

THE INVISIBERALS

It seems that those damn invisible liberals are causing a great deal of trouble amongst the straightlaced, family focused christians. A great deal of trouble in deed. Last night Hollywood held their Academy Award celebrations and several "homo" movies were nominated for awards. This didn't sit well with the christo-fascists who believe such movies are destroying the very fabric of American society. They were looking to nominate more "family" movies. Apparently movies such as 'Brokeback Mountain', 'TransAmerica' (a GREAT movie, by the way) and 'Capote' were too IMMORAL for the religious folks and are a bad influence upon their fragile, easily influenced mini christo-fascists. Or, as I like to say, fascists in training. Even the penguin movie was disparaged due to its apparent "pro-environmental leanings."

I was listening to Mike Malloy this afternoon on Air America and he was reading an email he had received from one of those "family values" groups. Apparently, they are so horrified by the HUGE number of "homo" movies that they are proposing holding their own "Red State Awards." Go right ahead. In fact, have your own everything, I don't care. Move to your own states and secede from the rest of the Union for all I care. In fact, I'll help ya move and I'll offer my services (free of charge) to build the wall that will shut you in. Do us that favor, PLEASE. Anyway, it seems the christo-fascists are very concerned about the affect these "homo" movies will have on their impressionable children and on themselves as well. Apparently a perfectly "straight" man can be changed into a limp wristed, fire breathing FAG by merely viewing a man kissing another man on the big screen. And this is how I first learned of the "Invisible Liberals" (The Invisiberals).

Seems the Invisiberals are EVERYWHERE, holding people at gunpoint and FORCING THEM (FORCING THEM, for gods sake!!!) to see movies, watch television shows and listen to music they don't approve of. It's the only reason I can come up with for this irrational concern regarding activities that are ELECTIVE. Why else would someone go see a movie they consider offensive? These damn invisiberals are ruining peoples lives! Just last week they held ME at gunpoint, took me to an Adult Video store and FORCED ME to not only BUY a porn, but to WATCH IT as well. I was weeping like an infant at the end of having been FORCED to watch such obscene material. And then the Invisiberals made me watch it again. God help me!

The invisiberals are the scourge of moral society. It's only a matter of time before people start using the "Invisiberals Made Me Do It" defense in court. That's a legitimate defense, right? No one should be held accountable for their own actions, especially not the weak minded christo-fascists. And all of society should be punished and subjected to really REALLY boring "family films" cuz the Invisiberals are constantly forcing these good christians to view material they consider offensive. What happens if the Invisberals start forcing ME to watch the 512 JESUS channels on my basic cable? I know I have a remote control and could change the channel at any time (or just plain skip them) but the Invisiberals keep INSISTING I watch the Jesus Shows! Should they be removed from the airwaves? What about churches? What if the Invisiberals start forcing me to attend church services, something I would obviously be offended by? Should all churches be closed to save myself from possibly entering one some day? Christo-fascism is as offensive to me as pornography is to others, so where are MY rights? If we're gonna use this "morally offensive" reason to ban electively viewed material, then let's use this SAME reason to BAN religion.

Uh oh! I hear another "morally repugnant" movie being played in the living room, and I'm being led in at gunpoint to watch it. Damn these Invisiberals!!!

DOUCHE CHILLS

Coming to terms with my

"Communism"

Mother Russia rain down down down

- Sisters of Mercy

So I guess I'm a communist. I mean, I've been told I'm a communist so many times that maybe I really am. I'm thinking about purchasing one of those bright red CCCP warmup jackets from Ebay. I mean if the shoe fits, right? The only word the reich seems to know in describing those sane minded individuals, such as myself, who understand what is happening to this country is "communist." Or "socialist." They use the two words interchangeably. I suppose it's whichever one pops into their washed brain first.

Just the other day a lady told me I was a communist. Well, to be exact she screamed "communist" at me while I was bent over taking it in the ass at the gas station (why am I paying $2.83 for regular?!). Boy did that one hurt. I wanted to curl up in a ball of shared communal wealth and quiver. I nearly wet my pants. What a stinging insult! Only thing is, there are two problems with her "insult." One, I am not a communist (I don't believe in it and I don't believe it works) and two, she doesn't know what a communist is. None of them do. It's a word they were taught by their reich-wing mentors on talk radio and they now toss it out there whenever they feel it necessary to "insult" someone who doesn't believe that George W. Bu$h is the savior of all hummanity. I briefly thought of filing my mouth up with gasoline, grabbing a lighter off my front seat and blowing a stream of fire in her face. As I was tilting back my head to start pouring in the gas, I saw out the corner of my eye the faces of my dogs in the car window and decided they needn't die in a firey explosion. So I stood there, fantasizing what a republican on fire would look like. Oh to dream.....

Next time one of these reich freaks calls you a communist or a socialist, ask them to describe either word. You'll get the same answer I always get. Someone will call me a communist when they see my GEORGE BU$H IS A LYING ASSHOLE bumpersticker and they'll scream "COMMUNIST!" I always respond with "Do you even know what a communist is?" And the answer is ALWAYS the same...."Yeah. YOU!" No, thats not an answer. I'm sorry if Limbaugh (drug addict) and Hannity taught you a big word but didn't define it for you. "No, describe what a communist is" is usually my next sentence. And to this I usually get the response "Some LIBERAL like YOU who wants to see America destroyed and wants the terrorists to win." Ok, that is not an answer either. "You really don't know what a communist is. You have no clue, do you?" This is usually where the "conversation" ends (or descends into a stream of unintelligable curse words from the idiot on the other side of the gas pump) cuz as we all know, these reich freaks can ONLY speak in "talking points" and if they haven't been told what to say, they can't answer. So they'll jump in their car, scream some supposed insult in my general commie direction and pull out as fast as they can (cuz that's cool), squealing their tires. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I'll get the finger. These reich-wingers are tough, I'll tell ya. Tough and sexy. Nothing makes my loins ache more than some prick in an oversized SUV who can squeal their tires and nearly smash into someone else while pulling out of a gas station. God that's hot.

To facilitate the reich's learning process I will define the term "Communism." According to Wikipedia, communism "refers to a conjectured future classless, stateless social organization based upon common ownership of the means of production, and can be classified as a multivariant branch of the broader socialist movement. Communism also refers to a variety of political movements which claim the establishment of such a social organization as their ultimate goal." So memorize that, please, and use it in its proper context. Screaming "Communist" at every liberal/non-Bu$h supporter is NOT the right context. Plus, when have you ever heard me spout off any communist ideology? You haven't. Maybe you guys could even try coming up with a NEW insult but this time make it something that actually FITS. Something like "Bu$h hater!" (I am), "Concerned Citizen!" (I am) or "environmentalist!"( I am that, too) or maybe even "AMERICAN!" You'd think with all those Harvard and Yale degrees you reich-wingers claim to hold that a lowly State College asshole such as myself wouldn't need to spell such things out for you. I'm still gonna buy that jacket though, communist or not.

THE JESUS BEAM

The sanity assassin stays up all night stalking.The sanity assassin Picks off victims like flies. The sanity assassin Let his fingers do the walking. The sanity assassin The crack shot between your eyes. He's got you in his sights

- Bauhaus

These religious fanatics are my sannity assassins. They are litterally driving me insane, and they've got ALL of us in their sights.

Where in the hell was I when the Jesus Beam shot from the heavens and turned all of America into religious zombies? Was I in some underground club, gyrating provocatively and drinking watermelon martini's when the beam struck? Did the subteranean layout of the club protect me and my friends from the affects of the Jesus Beam? Or have I done such a good job transforming my apartment into a bunker of secular utopia that the beam couldn't penetrate the tin foil I have taped to the walls? Whatever the case I am, thankfully, unaffected.

But the Beam sure did a job on the State of Missouri. Today we learn that this great state (sic) is considering a law that would name christianity as the official religion. WHAT?? This simply CAN'T be constitutional. But then I forget that our constitution in a worthless piece of paper, kind of like a parking ticket, something we know we have but we choose to pay no attention to. What in the hell is going on in this country? Bu$h really DID sell the country and the constitution the the religious christian fanatics so he and his friends could acquire wealth beyond comprehension, didn't he?

So let's consider what Missouri is planning. They want Christianity to be recognized as the official MAJORITY religion. I'm guessing they are doing this so they can adorn their state offices with 67 foot neon crucifixes and 500 yard long nativity scenes at will. They could post religious propaganda on every street corner and basically force others to "submit" to christianity. What about Jews and Muslims and Buddhists and Atheists and Agnostics and every other religious belief or non-belief? Fuck these people, they're going to hell. Will they somehow be FORCED to convert to christianity or "suffer" some form of "punishment?" This simply cannot be legal. It can't. What if the Muslims wanted to make ISLAM the official religion in Michigan? If the Christians are 'allowed" to do so in Missouri, then why couldn't the Muslims do so in another state? But no,this would NEVER be permitted. The population would be up-in-fucking-arms if the MUSLIMS wanted to FORCE Islam on the poor, innocent populace. This kind of religious oppression is ONLY acceptable as long as it's CHRISTIANITY that is being forced down our throats.

Why do I have this nagging feeling that when this "law" makes it to the Supreme Court it will be upheld? Why do you think all these insane "laws" and "bans" are suddenly being passed NOW? How many DAYS have Alito and Roberts (homosexuals in denial. The most dangerous kind of person) been on the Court together? A relatively short time, right? And these sickening, oppressive laws just SUDDENLY seemed to drop at the same time? I bet. This was planned the second these religious fascists learned their savior BU$h would get to appoint new members to the Supreme Court. As I've been saying, WE HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER.

In Florida, the founder of Domino's Pizza wants to create a religious, sin-free town adjacent to a new christian university he is building where ONLY people of the same moral values are permitted to live. I wonder if they have to pass some test? In this wonderful new town, there will no porn sold in the stores OR allowed on the cable network. Birth control pills and condoms won't be stocked in the pharmacies. And cages will be built in the basement of the churches to detain the pregnant women until that fetus pops out. I wonder if they'll ban alcohol? Probably not, mental patients like to drink. Will there be a curfew? Does everyone have to be indoors and reading their required Bible passages by 9:00pm? What if you need to travel THROUGH this town? Will you be required to obtain special transit papers? Will the non-believer be escorted through town so as to make sure this morally corrupt individual doesn't pollute their pure town? Will BLACKS be allowed to live there? THIS cannot be legal either. It is currently being opposed by the ACLU. It, too, will make it to the Supreme Court and it, too, will be deemed "legal." Wanna read about THIS psychotic activity? Go here: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/03/02/catholic.town.ap/index.html

I have been saying that I won't leave for Canada and that I will stay here and fight, but I'm finding that plan to be more hopeless every day. We are outnumbered and outgunned. These fanatics are crawling out of every sewer and rathole. Just today I was downtown and there were these blank eyed zombies pressing "Jesus Saves" pamphlets into the hands of everyone who passed by. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. They were on every street corner for 15 blocks. Needless to say, I hauled ass back to my bunker, gave the special secular knock, dove through the door and immediately went to the religion-decontamination room. I'm feeling much better. Disheartened and disgusted, but once I reached the safety of my bunker and turned on a Ministry CD, I was feeling pretty much back to normal (as normal as one can feel, considering the times we've entered.)

Ya know, the Nazi's started slow too. Then one day they were everywhere. Suddenly there were swastika flags snapping in the breeze from every window, hanging from every lightpole and wrapped around the upper arm of the "truest" believers. Brownshirts were on every streetcorner, recruiting new members and looking for those they deemed a threat. Suddenly, EVERYONE was singing the praises of THEIR savior, the Fuhrer. If you dared speak out against the Nazis, you were tortured and jailed. Many were murdered. So I'm getting the hell outta here before it's too late. You can fight the military, but you can't fight a brainwashed religious fanatic. They are ALWAYS right. What was it that Hunter S. Thompson said in 'Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas?' "You can turn your back on a person, but NEVER turn your back on a drug." To these people, JESUS is their drug, and they're completely wasted. I'm outta here.

ALIVE INSIDE!

"They're coming for you, Barbara"

- Night of the Living Dead

Wondering why I haven't written in some time? Why my persistent rantings regarding the wrongs in society have slowed to a mere trickle? Well it's simple, I have been busy boarding myself up inside my apartment. They are coming for me (and for you, too!) and I'm doing my best to barricade myself against the coming onslaught. Someone pass me another nail!

This country has officially been taken over. Sacrificed to the christian fanatics so that a few very rich people can continue to line their coffers. Its revolting. Doesn't the first amendment to the Constitution guarantee freedom of religion? Can I go so far as to say that it therefore ALSO guarantees freedom FROM religion? So why am I being subjected to religious oppression? Why are the religious beliefs of a specific religion being shoved down my throat and why am I being forced to comply? The purpose of the religious right is to control you. They are desperate to control the lives of other human beings. Hence the sickening abortion ban in South Dakota which doesn't even have a stipulation allowing for an abortion in cases or RAPE and INCEST!! So a woman should be FORCED to birth the child of her RAPSIT or FATHER? I think not. Someone should sue on the grounds that this "ban" infringes on their first amendment rights.

The entire reasoning for outlawing abortion is based on religious beliefs.... God doesn't want abortion, it's taking a human life, it says so in the Bible. Therefore everyone in the country should be denied an abortion because it's considered murder by religious individuals. HOWEVER...since I consider the Bible to be a work of fiction, an early attempt by man to control society, why should I be punished and subject to these same beliefs? Muslims believe that women should wear the head dress when in public. Why don't we enforce THIS upon all of society? The Jews believe all food should be kosher in order to eat it, do we enforce these "laws" upon the rest of society? Of course not, these laws are not based on CHRISTIANITY, the religion that has taken over the lives of every American citizen, whether YOU follow that religion or not.

I don't believe abortion is murder. Should I be forced to carry a baby for nine months because some yahoo wants me to? Should pregnant women be tied down for nine months and held at gunpoint to ensure that that fetus is delivered? Seems like it's coming to that, doesn't it? Yet as soon as that fetus is delivered, the room clears out. The screaming anti-abortion oppressors are gone, the people who claimed to care so much about the welfare of that fetus have mysteriously disappeared into the night. Syonara, their job is done. But if that fetus, which they desperately fought so hard for to MAKE SURE it was given "life," grows up and kills someone, then these SAME PEOPLE will make sure that this LIFE is taken by the State. Go figure.

If these christian fanatics wish to pass laws that restrict the rights of individuals, then pass them within their churches. Make it illegal, within the church, for a christian believer to have an abortion. Don't press your beliefs upon me, who no more believes in christianity than I do the tooth fairy. This is inherently unfair and also restricted IN THE CONSTITUTION!!! If the religious right believes abortion is wrong, DON'T HAVE ONE. If they believe certain movies or television shows are immoral, DON'T WATCH THEM. If they think certain people are immoral, DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH THEM. Please, don't associate with me. In fact, stay the fuck away from me. But don't press your religious beliefs upon those who don't believe!

But this won't happen. More and more of our rights will be taken away to appease these psychotic christians. This week, Samuel Alito sent "thank you" notes to all the reich-wing christian groups (such as James Dobson's inherently fascist 'Focus On The Family') Oh great. We're fucked. These christian maniacs have succeeded in taking over our country and we are soon going to see many more of our rights restricted to satiate these obsessed, hyper-religious (mental disorder) christians (fascists).

So I continue to nail my doors shut and board up my windows, cuz those brain eaters are out there, arms outstretched, slowly coming for me. I paint ALIVE INSIDE on the side of my building so other sensible minded non-zombies know where they can run in an emergency without fear of having their brain sucked from their skull. I am building a bunker, I guess. A bunker against christian fanaticism. In here, in my little secular utopia, I will curse all I want, watch all the porn I want. I will drink when I want and have all the sex I want (I may even involve myself with some SODOMY if the mood so strikes me). Maybe I'll even smoke some pot. I will listen to malicious rap music and satan worshiping rock cuz it's my FUCKING RIGHT to listen to it. I will walk around naked and admire my numerous tattoos. I will invite over my gay friends and let them makeout in my kitchen. Maybe I'll even hold a marriage ceremony for them in my living room. A real den of iniquity, that's what I'm gonna run over here, safely boarded up from the outside world. In here there IS no oppression. But I have to work fast, cuz the religious crazies are out there right now, I can hear the sound of brains being eaten. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. There is a church across the street and today the congregational zombies stood outside, in the rain, with their anti-abortion signs. They sing and chant and scream at passerbys. So I turn up my Sex Pistols CD and hammer faster. God Save the Queen.

No future, no future, there's no future for you.

This Entire Bu$h Administration

You're full of shit, I fuckin hate you

- Rancid

Well, well, well! Was I right or was I right? Bu$h and his cronies are so predictable. Do you right-wing assholes now fully grasp the FACT that this president is NOT out to protect you, he is NOT the "security president" as you have been screaming for the last 4 years, this man is ONLY out for his and his friends own best interests (read MONEY). That is all this man cares about and all he has EVER cared about. Every single move he has ever made while President is to further his own portfolio and the portfolios of his friends. Have you FINALLY come to that realization?

Has the idea that this "man" would indeed allow the U.A.E. to take over control of our seaports, against the vociferous disapproval of nearly every single American citizen and House member, so he and his scum of the earth, piece of SHIT friends could make ENORMOUS amounts of money, has this FINALLY SUNKEN INTO YOUR OBVIOUSLY SHALLOW HEADS? Has this actually done it? Although you feign outrage now, I doubt it shall last. Miraculously, through the noble work of Karl Rove (the modern day Josef Goebbels), the republican house members are GUARANTEED to eventually "come to their senses" and see things Bu$h's way. Just as they did with the NSA domestic spying. Rove simply had to threaten to blacklist every republican who had dared take a stand, feeble as it was, against Bu$h and his revolting spying program and OVERNIGHT they had changed their minds. And when these same patriotic, post 9/11 thinking politicians "ok" Bu$h's decision to allow the U.A.E. to control our ports you, too, will "come to your senses." Like good Germans. I simply cannot comprehend exactly WHAT this man has to do to make you realize he is a filthy, lying, corrupt criminal. Maybe you really ARE brainwashed.

George W. Bu$h and this entire administration are, quite frankly, greedy, egotistical pieces of shit. Any man who would trade the safety of his entire country in exchange for the almighty DOLLAR is beyond contempt. For four plus years you have been betting on this president to save us from the grasp of the muslim hordes. Every minute we are reminded that we are "safer" because Bu$h is president. You thanked the lord that Al Gore wasn't President (he was) when 9/11 happened. You were SURE John Kerry was weak on defense and that Bu$h was the ONLY man who could, and who supposedly HAD, kept us safe from that ever present threat of terrorism. "Democrats are weak on defense." How many times have I heard THAT mantra repeated? "George W. Bu$h will keep us safe!" And in order to ensure this safety, you lay down at his feet and surrendered your 4th amendment rights. And you did so with lightening speed.

So now it is revealed that Bu$h, who every day reminds us that we are engaged in a "war on terror" and that we must be ever so "vigilant," COMPLETELY contradicts every statement he and his filthy cronies have pounded into your heads day after day after day and allows, without requiring an EXTRA thorough investigation, an Arab GOVERNMENT RUN company to take control of six of our busiest seaports. Seaports where, we have been warned time and time again, a "dirty bomb" or a nuclear weapon could very well be imported onto our shores. And then he wants you to believe that he knew NOTHING of this deal until he read about it in the press. BULL.. SHIT, Bu$h. BULLSHIT!

In the last couple of days, we have seen the monetary connections to Bu$h and his corrupt administration come to light in regards to this Dubai Port Worlds deal. I am simply at a loss for words in describing my contempt, outrage and hatred for this entire administration and this president specifically. I really don't know what to say. This is, by FAR, the most corrupt, contemptuous, greedy, arrogant, DANGEROUS president in the 230 year history of the United States. This man will go down in history as the WORST president to ever hold office, and if other "issues" come to light in the future (see 9/11), we can add to this list the most criminal and murderous.

Bu$h has essentially destroyed our country (just look at the deficit, the number of jobs being outsourced, the wanton destruction of the environment to benefit his pals in the oil and chemical companies and the devaluation of the dollar as examples) and does not care. As long as when (IF) he leaves office he and his friends are richer than when he went in, they will be satisfied and will consider his presidency a successful one. Fuck everyone else, Bu$h will happily leave this country in financial ruins (hopefully that is the ONLY ruins we will be left in) and smile all the way to his offshore accounts. When the economy crashes and we are left in a stunning depression, neither Bu$h NOR his friends will be affected in any way whatsoever. You will.

In my last post, I questioned whether Bu$h's daddy's Carlyle Group was somehow involved in this Dubai port deal. Well low and behold!! Guess what country was a MAJOR INVESTOR in the Carlyle Group, investing $8 BILLION DOLLARS with them last year ALONE? If you guessed the U.A.E and Dubai Capital,you'd be CORRECT!!! Seems that over there in the U.A.E., the government runs nearly ALL the corporations, including the Dubai Ports World.

But the connections don't end there. Oh no, this man is too filthy to simply let it end there. Seems the CURRENT Secretary of the Treasury, John Snow, the man who had to sign off on this deal in order for it to go through, was the previous C.E.O. of a company called CSX. CSX was a shipping company and in February of 2004 (2 months after Snow left CSX for the Bu$h administration) CSX sold it's port operations in South America to.......DUBAI PORTS WORLD!!!!! (the rest of CSX operations were purchased by, who else, the Carlyle Group!) But Snow claims that, even though he had JUST LEFT CSX, he had NO IDEA that this BILLION DOLLAR deal was about to go down. BULLSHIT! CSX didn't just throw a billion dollar deal together and work out all the intricacies involved in 2 months.

But wait, it only gets BETTER! Snow had numerous stock options with CSX, worth $36 MILLION DOLLARS, that he wasn't allowed to cash out until the year 2014 or so (I don't feel like looking up the exact date right now, its irrelevant. Just know it isn't NOW and it isn't next year either) UNLESS (here it comes, folks!).......the company was completely sold off. Beautiful! So Snow is $36 MILLION dollars richer (CSX already paid him $69 million when he left) and has only Dubai Ports World to thank. And how did he thank them? Why by authorizing, the deal for the six American ports, that's how.

But the connections don't end there, either. Bu$h's recently appointed Maritime Administrator, David Sanborn, was a CEO at Dubai Ports World until VERY recently. Does the criminality and cronyism of this administration EVER end? Apparently not. All you reich-wingnuts who have, in the last few days, gotten your first look behind the veneer of your Commander and Thief and seen, if only for a fleeting moment, the man behind the curtain, wake up. Wake the hell up, for your own damn sake if for nothing else. Continue to chip away at what you have believed to be true, what they have FED to you like paralytic infants, for the last 4-plus years. This is your chance.

We have not been lying to you for all these years. We haven't been spinning the intelligence, the news and the truth like this administration and your beloved reich-wing talk show hosts. You who were angered by this port deal just got a very small glimpse into the lives of we "left wingers." THIS is why we are so angry all the time. THIS is why you call us "left wing loons" or "leftists." THIS is why we hate George W. Bu$h, why we attend protests and marches. Why we stand outside with signs protesting this man and his selfish, irresponsible decisions. Why we scream at the television or dive for the remote every time his voice is heard scaremongering or flat out lying. THIS is why I have bumperstickers on my car and my inbox is flooded every morning with newsletters and requests for action from other AWARE, concerned groups. THIS is why my american flag is hung upside down, signaling a country in distress, and will not be righted until this man is out of office. THIS is why I am strongly considering making a move to Canada before the shit REALLY hits the fan. THIS is why I have NO republican friends and refuse to intentionally speak to a republican. And THIS is why I have high goddamn bloodpressure. Welcome to the real world.

Selling Our Security. Again.

"You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror."

- George W. Bu$h, November 2001

Strange that Bu$h would make the above comment a mere 4 years ago and yet TODAY he's more than willing (he's anxious, in fact) to allow our sea ports to be taken over by the United Arab Emerates (U.A.E.). Here's why I find that so strange. Wasn't it Bu$h who confidently assured us that it was, in fact, the U.A.E. who supplied the funding, through their banks, for the terrorists who supposedly attacked us on 9/11, or has Bu$h forgotten all the intricate details to his huge lie? Did he forget that the U.A.E. was involved in surreptitiously shipping nuclear equipment to Libya, North Korea and our number one NEW enemy (and next on our hit list) Iran? Aren't two of the supposed 9/11 hijackers ALSO from the U.A.E.? Didn't the U.A.E. recognize Hamas as a "legitimate" organization (that's always a sign, at least according to Faux News, that another country is DANGEROUS.) Sounds to me that the U.A.E is most certainly "against us" in Bu$h's "war on terror." Don't you agree?

So why was it that today Bu$h declared that the "deal was done" and that he would VETO any bill passed through congress that attempted to overturn the "done deal?" Has Bu$h gone madder than usual? No. I believe he's perfectly sane. An idiot and an alcoholic, hula-jawed freak, but sane. But why would Bu$h be so set on allowing the U.A.E. to take over SIX of our busiest ports, while nearly every single member of the House and nearly every American citizen agree that this is a "really bad idea?" Cuz somehow, somewhere he, or one of his ultra rich cronies, MUST be making money off it. That is the ONLY reason Bu$h ever does anything. It's all about money. Somewhere in this little transaction is someone, or a group of people (The Carlyle Group, maybe?), who are gonna make a shit-load of money off this deal, Americans safety be damned!

For almost 5 years we have had the threat of terrorism held over our heads like a freshly sharpened guillotine hanging from a frayed cord. Day after day after day we are subjected to increased terror threats, bomb "threats," the information that another imminent terrorist attack was stopped because of Bu$h's vigilance. We lustily went after a country that never attacked us cuz they shoved lies about weapons of mass destruction down our throats and sent you running for plastic sheeting and bottled water. We were told to keep our "eyes out" for any terrorist or "suspicious" activity and to report it immediately. We are reminded every single time Bu$h opens his mouth that we were attacked on 9/11 and that another attack could happen any day. Osama Bin Laden just happens to "release" audio tapes whenever it is convenient for this administration, threatening us with suffering that we couldn't even begin to imagine and sending us scurrying back into our bomb shelters. And worst of all, we allowed our civil rights to be stripped from us in the hopes that the scary terrorist may just be kept at bay for one more day. We allowed this man to negate parts of our Constitution so our pathetic cowardly asses could continue to believe that our great, patriotic president was keeping us safe. Which is why this whole deal smells very bad. Something is rotten in Denmark.

So the day finally comes when an actual threat presents itself. A country that supposedly helped bankroll the attacks against us on 9/11 and whose citizens were supposedly actively involved in the acts of that day....this very same country NOW wants to take over control of six of our biggest sea ports, and Bu$h has no problem with this??? In fact, he is TOO willing to allow this transaction to succeed. And here lies the problem.

How many times have we been told that a nuclear bomb or a dirty bomb could possibly be smuggled into this country via our ports? That is was nearly impossible to search every single container coming ashore? How many times did they remind us that port security was a number one priority on their list? Well, now that day has come and what does the mighty anti-terror warrior Bu$h do? Does he immediately negate the deal and declare that Americas safety and security is tantamount (as they have been shoving down our throats for the past 4 + years) and that this deal will NOT be allowed to go through? Does he reassure the American people that he is, indeed, the "security President" and declare that only American companies may be in control of our ports? NO. Bu$h has decided that this deal is safe and that it may proceed without interference from the government. If the U.A.E. is so safe and reliable and Bu$h feels he can trust them with OUR security, then why doesn't Bu$h allow the U.A.E. to take over HIS Secrect Service coningent. Why not they're safe, right?

This man has proven himself a liar with every word he has ever spoken and with every action he has ever taken. I believe not one word to drop from his mouth. If Bu$h correctly guessed my age, I would have myself carbon dated just to double check. So when he says that this deal is safe, I simply don't believe him. Plain and simple. I don't believe him. Why is Bu$h so fast to come out with the statement that he will veto any bill congress passes to stop the deal? What is this administration up to now? Someone friendly with this group of criminals in the White House is set to benefit from this deal. Just wait and see, I guarantee it.

Now reich-wingers are all up in arms. Why now? Why has it taken you THIS LONG and why THIS TOPIC? Is it that you republican idiots are all so narcissistic that the threat actually had to produce itself on your lousy doorstep in order for you to become outraged? You weren't pissed before cuz you felt that somehow the "war" in Iraq DIDN'T affect you? That the destruction of our natural resources and our environment somehow DIDN'T affect you? The $8 TRILLION DOLLAR debt DOESN'T affect you either, I suppose? This president (YOUR president) has been lying to us nonstop since day one. You have simply chosen to keep your eyes shut and to cover your ears. You blind followers of this man and his administration are vile. You are no better than the sycophantic freaks who stood en masse at the Nuremberg rallies in the early mid 30's, cheering blindly as an insane murderous liar spelled out for them their coming destruction. It's too late for you to wake up now and feign outrage and horror. This is where YOU have brought us to and whatever happens to us is on YOUR shoulders. It's too late to jump in the fight, you have fired too many shots for the other side. This is YOUR president, and YOU must accept his decisions. Isn't that what you've been telling US for the last 5 years?

- Sesame Street

Wow, what a proud day to be an American(again.) Nice job. Really, fellas, great work. Way to gain the trust and respect of the rest of the world. And you wonder why these people hate us and want to kill us? You see how they freaked over a cartoon, I can only imagine the outrage when they see, ONCE AGAIN, how WE Americans are treating THEIR friends, family and fellow Muslims. What were these geniuses thinking? Obviously nothing. Sick fucks. Way to degrade people.

And I don't want to hear "well at least WE didn't cut their heads off" cuz 1) you do NOT lower yourself to the level of your "enemy" by doing as they do. We are Americans, we are supposed to be better then them. Apparently we aren't. And 2) the people doing the head chopping over there are NOT their fucking MILITARY!!!! They are not wearing uniforms and flags representing the people of THEIR COUNTRY!! They are sick bastards who represent terrorist organizations. The dim wits who perpetrated the above acts ARE representing US. You and me! And what THEY do REFLECTS UPON US!!!!! I don't wanna be associated with this shit in any way whatsoever. HELL NO. This is not good. Not good at all. I swear we bring most of this shit on ourselves.

As a side note, what is with the naked shit all the time? What kind of a sick bastard gets off on torturing people by making them masturbate each other and whatnot? I'm currently reading a book called "Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust." Am I seeing a pattern developing here? Are the people who smile and laugh while torturing fellow human beings, who apparently "get off" on such torture, the SAME type of person who would willingly sign up for a death squad (such as the SS-Einsatzgruppen) and claim they were TOLD to do it by superiors in order to justify it? Isn't that what THESE soldiers claimed? That they were innocent because they were TOLD to do it? Where have I heard that defense used before, hmmmmm, was it in NUREMBERG? It didn't work then either.

Domestic Spying

I always feel that somebody's watchin' me

And I have no privacy

- Rockwell

Well the reich wing wants investigated who was the individual who leaked the TOP SECRET, CLASSIFIED information that the government is "intercepting" the phone calls of American citizens. Today I heard them describe this "leaking" as treasonous and that the leaker should so be charged (never mind that they leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press. She was a CIA covert operative, but THAT'S not treason. No.) Apparently, this information was super-ultra top secret and now the country is in jeopardy cuz we all (including those pesky terrorists) know that our phone calls are being listened in on.

Well my answer to this is simply... NO SHIT!! Even BEFORE this little tidbit of information was leaked to the press, who DIDN'T know that the government was listening to our phone calls? Now we simply have confirmation.

Back when I was in high school and later college, everyone knew that if you were gonna call your marijuana dealer, you had to speak in code. EVERYONE knew this. And why the code when trying to score a mega-illegal dime bag?? Cuz THE GOVERNMENT MONITORS PHONE CALLS! And this was WAAAAAAAY back in the early to mid 90's. I have been well aware of this fact for almost 15 years or so. It's absurd to think that every stoned college student is aware of this fact but sophisticated terrorist organizations, able to plan huge attacks and construct massive car bombs, are completely ignorant of it. Please. Any terrorist "cell" operating within our borders is more than aware that the PHONES are not safe ways of relaying information. Which is precisely why they use the INTERNET. Stop allowing these inane reich-wing LIARS and SPIN DOCTORS to fool you into believing that Al-Qaida SUDDENLY discovered the phones are tapped as a result of the New York Times article.

People need to stop acting astonished when they learn of the domestic spying program. That's not the news story. It's the fact that Bu$h is so CONCEITED, completely unconcerned about prosecution and continually BRAGGING about this illegal activity that is the news story, NOT the spying itself.

WHO SHOT YA?

Who shot ya but you punks didn't finish now you're bout to feel the wrath of a menace

- Tupac Shakur

Why Dick Cheney shot ya, that's who! I wonder what this guy did to the administration? Was he about to testify in front of a grand jury? Or is Cheney simply senile in his old age? When I first heard the preamble to this story on the nightly news (I was watcing the Olympics), I swore they were gonna say that Abramoff or Libby were "accidentally" shot. Too bad he didn't take Bu$h quail hunting. Maybe next time. But who would therefore take Cheney "quail hunting?"

Another question, why didn't Cheney's office report this incident? At all. It was a tip to the local newspaper that lead to the revelation. The American people didn't find out that "their" Vice President was randomly gunning people down for 24 hours after the incident. Was Cheney DRUNK and knew he'd have to take a mandatory breathalizer test? And why did the Emperor Cheney refuse to speak to the local police about the incident? Does Cheney simply believe himself beyond the law? (Yes). Next time I load someone up with lead I believe that I, too, will refuse to speak to the local police. We'll see how far I get with that (my lowly ass would be under arrest and in jail so fast my head would spin.) Whatever the reason, this whole story stinks. Stinks like this entire administration.

P.s. Can you imagine if this was some BLACK GUY who shot up a fellow "hunter?" HO....LY....SHIT! He'd ALREADY be on death row.

EMERGENCY BROADCASTING SYSTEM

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! "This is the Emergency Broadcasting System. We have received a report of a murdered white family in Boston, Ma. Murders rarely happen in this country, so all regularly scheduled programming will be suspended until every minute detail of the atrocity is repeated again and again and again and again........If any important news occurs during our 24 hour continual broadcast of "murdered white family" (something like, oh I don't know....a revelation that Abramoff WAS INDEED on friendly terms with Bu$h, that Cheney had instructed Libby to reveal a CIA agents name to the press in order to discredit her husband, that Brownie claims he is being scapegoated by the Bu$h administration and that Bu$h wouldn't take his phone calls concerning the matter, that Tom Delay was rewarded for all his hard work for his fellow congressmen by being appointed to the House appropriations committee, etc etc etc) we will most certainly ignore it. HOWEVER, if a Democrat farts wrong or smiles at a lobbyist while passing on the street, we will IMMEDIATELY switch broadcasts and focus all attention on this pertinent matter. Good night and good luck."

This post is a prelude to the dirge I am going to do, probably tomorrow, on what I think really happened on 9/11. Actually, I don't know what REALLY happened, but I sure as hell know what DIDN'T happen and what DIDN'T happen is the line of pure bullshit we have been spoon fed by our own government concerning the events of that day.

Right now, however, I need a drink. Maybe a few drinks.

Received this little tidbit from the Reich-rag "The National Journal" so any of you fascist zombies who want to dismiss it on the basis that it was written by a "left wing extremist" or by the "far left" unfortunatley can't dismiss it on those grounds. SORRY! Here is the link (cuz ya know we Bu$h haters LIE) and I pasted the article below http://nationaljournal.com/about/njweekly/stories/2006/0209nj1.htm

Cheney 'Authorized' Libby to Leak Classified Information
By Murray Waas, National Journal© National Journal Group Inc.Thursday, Feb. 9, 2006

Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, testified to a federal grand jury that he had been "authorized" by Cheney and other White House "superiors" in the summer of 2003 to disclose classified information to journalists to defend the Bush administration's use of prewar intelligence in making the case to go to war with Iraq, according to attorneys familiar with the matter, and to court records.
According to sources with firsthand knowledge, Cheney authorized Libby to release additional classified information, including details of the NIE, to defend the administration's use of prewar intelligence in making the case for war.
Libby specifically claimed that in one instance he had been authorized to divulge portions of a then-still highly classified National Intelligence Estimate regarding Saddam Hussein's purported efforts to develop nuclear weapons, according to correspondence recently filed in federal court by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald.
Beyond what was stated in the court paper, say people with firsthand knowledge of the matter, Libby also indicated what he will offer as a broad defense during his upcoming criminal trial: that Vice President Cheney and other senior Bush administration officials had earlier encouraged and authorized him to share classified information with journalists to build public support for going to war. Later, after the war began in 2003, Cheney authorized Libby to release additional classified information, including details of the NIE, to defend the administration's use of prewar intelligence in making the case for war.

So you see Dick Cheney is simply a morally devoid criminal, bent on furthering his own agenda and that of this fascist regime. The only things that matter to men such as him are NOT the best interests of this coutntry, as YOU believe and as he claims. Instead, this entire administration and the neo-con senators and congressmen who salivate at their feet, are concerned STRICTLY with lining their own pockets on the backs of the working class (just look at this new budget if you have any doubts) and this bizarre desire to somehow subjugate the middle east (again, at the expense of the working class. I don't see their billionaire cronies, whose welfare they are so concerned about, enlisting their children en-masse to fight this "war" which will, in effect, benefit only them) and gain control of the worlds rapidly depleting oil reserves (again...so they can line their pockets.)

These people are criminals and should be treated as such. I bet this revelation gets zero play in the "main stream" (read Reich controlled) media. Air America and similar liberal talk show hosts, I'm sure, will do a great job, as always, disseminating the truth to it's audience. CNN, Faux and MSNBC have more pertinent issues in which to enlighten you about. Isn't there a missing white woman somewhere? Zombies.

RIOT! RIOT! RIOT! RIOT!

Pictured above is "Piss Christ", a crucifix submerged in urine. Anyone feel like rioting? Wanna burn some shit down, maybe KILL a few innocent souls cuz you're insane and this artists "work" is offensive to YOU? NO? I didn't think so.

Guillotine, Gallows or Burn at the Stake?

At a time when our country is at war, who do these people(read LEFTISTS) think they are questioning the authority of our president?

- Sean Hannity, today around 3:30pm

Yeah, this coiffed pussy actually said that today as I was heading back from the post office. But nothing the likes of Hannity of Limbaugh (drug addict) say is really surprising to me. Hannity is apparently MORE than willing to sacrifice his civil rights at the feet of his master, Bu$h, cuz he is a coward. As are ALL Americans who are willing to sacrifice even one IOTA of their civil liberties in the name of "security." What do you really expect to happen? Do you think that the Muslims will somehow take over this entire country and proceed to cut the heads off of every single non-believer? That's a fucking hell of a lot of people. Let's see, there are 300 million people in this country. They would have to storm our shores with a billion people. Do you really think that's possible? So what exactly is it that you fear? A car bomb? A suicide bomber while you're wasting time at the mall? A chemical attack that would somehow blanket the entire country and kill every living creature (impossible)? You have a better chance of dying in a car wreck or from cancer or heart disease.

You cannot go around scared of the "what-if's" all the time! And you cannot let these fascists, whose sole goal is to take away your rights and thus enable them to take over our country, scare you into submission! If a terrorist attack is going to happen, it's going to happen. Live with that knowledge. But don't let your entire life be ruled by fear! Do you wake up everyday and think that today may be the day you blow and aneurysm or drop over from a heart attack? I bet those thoughts don't even cross your mind. But you cower in terror at the thought of a terrorist attack that may occur 3,000 miles away from you IF IT HAPPENS AT ALL.

My personal belief? Yes, there will be other terrorist attacks in this country, but there is nothing the government, or anyone for that matter, can do to stop them. And I'm not going to give up all my rights in the interim. As I've pointed out before, if one or two people get the bright idea to load themselves up with explosives and take a stroll into the local mall or buy an assault rifle (legal to purchase!) and shoot a bunch of people, unless they broadcast it, you cannot stop them. I don't care how "good" the Department of Homeland Security is (and we've already seen them in action during hurricane Katrina). If Israel cannot stop suicide bombers, then there is no way whatsoever that a country the size of America is going to be able to stop them. But if you let the government take away our rights for this false assumption of safety, then the "terrorists" have won. They never have to attack us ever again. They have achieved their goal....they have destroyed the Great Satan, for this country is NOTHING without our Constitution and the rights afforded to us within it. Without our constitution, we are no different from any other country on the planet.

But these cowardly pricks such as Sean Hannity do all they can to ramp up the rhetoric and scare the shit outta the sheeople. The only thing Hannity fears is 1)some black guy fucking his daughter 2) suddenly becoming poor and having to live like the rest of us low life miscreants, and 3)not having the imminent threat of TERROR to scare his listeners with. He lives off this fear, literally. Do you think they would pay him MILLIONS of dollars every year if he spoke the TRUTH and didn't get his listening audience in a fear induced lather every day? He lives off your ability to frighten so easily. It's quite sad. Oh and I forgot, 4) someone finding that tape of him sucking Bu$h's dick.

So today (on the way back from the post office) I was thinking to myself "When the people FINALLY rise up and the revolution takes hold, what will be the best way to eliminate the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh and O'Reilly, traitors to America and to the American people?" So I first thought of the guillotine. We, the people, could build a huge guillotine on the Mall in DC and cart in these reich-wing traitors on a horsedrawn wagon (for the effect), hoist em on up to the jeers of the crowd (people would have to throw shit at em too, it would make the atmosphere livlier) and chop their fucking heads off. Then the executioner could hold up their disgusting heads and the crowd would roar. But that would be too kind. It would be over too fast and it wouldn't hurt, the blade is too sharp.

Then I thought of burning them at the stake. That would be good. They would cry and whine and generally act like the bitches they are as we (the people) piled up the kindling beneath their feet. Then someone would douse them with lighter fluid and toss in a match. Watching them scream and burn would make my heart skip a beat with pure, unadulterated, JOY. But burning someone at the stake is kinda messy, and we (the people) would have to clean up afterwards. Plus, it would burn a black spot in the Mall that would ruin the grass.

So I decided that hanging their vile asses from the gallows would be our best bet. Building gallows isn't too hard and the rope can be obtained just about anywhere. We (the people) can make the gallows as long as we want so we can hang as many as these bastards as possibile at once. We (the people) wouldn't be too concerned about proper noose assembly either, let em hang there and strangle to death. They deserve it. Maybe I'd even pack a lunch.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

Anyone Seen My Post?

Hello, has anyone seen the post I wrote before the one titled "Point Proven?" It started with a picture of Dick Cheney and had the quote "Crying for the death of your heart" by the Cure under it? It had to do with the PBS show NOW and how Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff, Lawrence Wilkerson, admitted that he and Powell had LIED (no shit) to the American people (after being strong armed by Cheney, who I believe I referred to as the Devil incarnate), the UN and the world when Powell gave his infamous speech to at UN where he held up the vial of "anthrax" and pointed to supposed reconnaissance photos of Iraqi mobile chemical labs? Remember that post? Well it's gone. Disappeared. Vanished.

I signed on to do my post today where I was going to pray for the death of Sean Hannity (that's my new plan....praying for the deaths of those I loath. I figure if it's good enough for Pat Robertson and his psychotic christo-fascist followers than it's good enough for moi) and went back to reread some of my previous posts and discovered, to my utmost dismay, that my Dick Cheney post (titled CONSPIRATOR) was not only missing, but completely erased from Blogger.com. I checked the blogger dashboard to see if I had somehow mistakenly "saved as draft" instead of posting it but alas, it was gone (I always read them after I post them so I know it WAS there after I wrote it.) Now it exists nowhere. It was removed. Bastards (And I didn't even consider that post very vicious. It was rather bland, to tell you the truth.)

**I am not trying to insinuate that the administrators at Blogger.com removed my post. If they were looking to censor me, they could have removed numerous previous posts. I fear more sinister forces are at play (scary music fade in here).

BAT SHIT

"Capture and cut to pieces" is what some maniac islamic group in Iraq said they would do to anyone they captured from an "offending" (read Western or NON muslim) country in retaliation for their prophet mohammed. Whatever. Sick motherfuckers. Going completely bat shit and actually KILLING people, rioting and burning property cuz some catroonist dared say that islam was a violent religion (I think it's a cult) is INSANE. You are not even remotely normal. Good way to completely contradict yourselves. I hate religion.

Point Proven

I would like to thank all those completely normal Muslim psychopaths, whom we are supposed to accept and "understand", for making this cartoonists point for him. He insinuated with the above cartoon that the religion of Islam is a violent one, and in order to prove him WRONG, the religiously insane Muslims around the world declare a fatwah against the cartoonist and the Danish people, burn embassies, riot and threaten other human beings with death. Thus verifying the cartoonists assertation that the religion of Islam is violent AND dangerous.

Oh, am I supposed to accept these insane actions by these insane individuals? Am I supposed to give them a pass simply cuz they are Muslims and we are supposed to accept their vile "religion"(cult) and step lightly around them? Am I supposed to call for censorship of the media cuz these psychos can't handle the truth? I think not. Would I be asked to do the same if the religion in question was Christianity? Would I be expected to walk on eggshells cuz the Christians were upset? Would christo-fascists burn down embassies and threaten death to the cartoonist who DARED to "insult" Jesus? I doubt it, and you already know my feelings on Christo-fascists...I hate them. Muslims are violent. Period. And don't you dare give me the mantra of "not all Muslims are violent, these are the extremists." If that is true, then where are all those millions of supposed "normal" Muslims who disparage such activity? Where were they when their brethren were involved in the 9/11 attacks against this country? Did they burn down their own embassies everytime some maniac got on a bus in Israel and blew it to shit? Did they speak up en mass and demand the culprits be brought to justice? Did they take to the streets in protest? Did they scream of the foul injustice and violence when innocent men and women were beheaded and their atrocious deaths shown on their "news" outlets? Hahahaha. Of course not. This supposed "majority" was silent. Either silent or non-existent. I choose the latter. Where are the great moral non-violent Muslims speaking out against the use of suicide attacks and beheadings perpetrated in their name? They don't exist.

Under no circumstances should any media outlet cowtow to these hyper-religious freaks. If so, then their violent tactics have succeeded. Print whatever you want about any religion. Not doing so shows that violence wins out. Censorship in regards to one religion or one group of individuals on the grounds that they are "sensitive" is preposterous. And dangerous. If we show them that violence will get them their desired result then everyone will revert to violent tactics to get their way. If you can't take it, don't fucking read it. Or protest outside the offices of the "offending" institution. Declare a boycott on their newpapers. Start a campaign of letter writing. But don't burn and riot and threaten peoples lives over a drawing. In doing so, you have proved to the world that the cartoonist was RIGHT.

When the artist Andres Serranos (spelling)displayed his work "Piss Christ" which was a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine, did the Christians try to kill Serranos and the directors of the art houses who DARED display his work? No. They raised hell, they bitched and screamed but did they KILL anyone? Did they burn down the museums that displayed his work? No. But they DID protest outside and wrote letters of objection. But never did they regress to worldwide violence. Never. And I hate christo-fascists, don't be mistaken in thinking that I'm showing favoritism. I'm not. I'm simply stating the reality of the situation.

It was expected that Bu$h would decry the "Mohammed cartoon" and state that it should be withdrawn and apologies given. Of course he would, this man and his followers favor censorship of the media in THIS country so why shouldn't the same go for the countries that he considers (or, in reality, DOESN'T consider at all) subpar to his great America? And Bu$h and his oil saturated cronies wouldn't DARE be caught defending a journalist who offended the religion of the family who gives him and his rich friends BILLIONS in oil revenue every year, would he? Just like NOTHING was said to the Saudi's after it was revealed that 15 of the 19 highjackers on 9/11 were supposedly from Saudi Arabia. Nothing was uttered in regards to Osama Bin Laden, Bush's supposed"public enemy #1" being of Saudi origin, having familial ties to the Saudi Royal family and that same family financing Bin Laden and his "adventures." No, instead Bu$h invades Iraq, a country that had not one minute involvement in 9/11. So it's no surprise that Bu$h would call for censorship against any outlet that would somehow offend his dear friends, the Saudi's. What a complete fucking joke. Bu$h is their bitch.

So I say print whatever you like. Are the Muslims upset cuz they don't like seeing the truth about their religion so blatantly flashed around the world? If so, then they need to open their eyes and see that their own actions are causing such cartoons to be printed. If you don't like the negative press being given your religion (cult), change your ways so that catroons such as the one above are no longer relevant. Otherwise, as long as you continue bombing and beheading innocent people, you must accept the rightly deserved negative press you shall receive.

Religion is the most dangerous invention man has ever come up with and it is my personal belief that ALL religion should be outlawed. The world may be a better place.

RUN LIKE HELL

You better run like hell You better make your face up in Your favorite disguise With your button down lips and your Roller blind eyes With your empty smile And your hungry heart Feel the bile rising from your guilty past With your nerves in tatters When the cockleshell shatters And the hammers batter Down the door You better fun like hell You better dun all day And run all night And keep your dirty feelings Deep inside And if you take your girlfriend Out tonight, You better park the car Well out of sight Cos if they catch you in the back seat Trying to pick her locks They’re gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box You better run

- Pink Floyd

With the authorizing vote in the Senate today to enact cloture in the debate over Samuel Alito, 230 years of democarcy on this continent came to a screeching halt. At approximately 4:45pm today I was violently tossed against the wall in my living room as the long-running wheels of freedom in America ground to a halt for the firt time in more than two centuries. With my shoulder bruised in the ensuing tumble, I stumbled outside and collapsed on my front lawn where I lay, weeping for my country. I wanted to run and never stop! Run until I was as far away from the storm I could hear brewing on the horizon as was physically possible. Run until I collapsed from exhaustion! Run in terror! But a horrible aching sense of desperation had taken over my mind.......America, land of the free, is no more. I was overcome with a deep sense of imminent foreboding. My breathing and heartrate increased exponentially until I believed my poor heart would literally explode from my chest and take off on its own, leaving the rest of the body to fend for itself. After a few minutes of laying there in sheer emotional agony, I dragged my weary corpse back inside my apartment where I await the sound of bootsteps in the hallway and the inevitable knock on my door.

DEAD

If you die when there's no one watching and your ratings drop and you're forgotten If they kill you on their TV You're a martyr and a lamb of God. Nothings going to change the world.

- Marilyn Manson

How convenient that Osama Bin Laden just happened to come out with another audio tape, once again threatening our destruction and sending Americans scurrying into their caves to shudder in fear. Who is actually worried about dying in a terrorist attack? Really, what are your chances? Everytime you get behind the wheel of your automobile you have a significantly better chance of dying than getting caught in a terrorist attack. Yet you run to the store and stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting to protect yourselves from the looming threat of a chemical attack. You purchase potassium iodide to protect your thyroid from a nuclear attack. You buy gas masks to shield yourself from not only a chemical attack but a nuclear attack as well. What is a gas mask gonna do for you in case of a nuclear explosion? Nothing more that maybe preserve a few of your facial features for identification. Or melt into your skin. Take your pick. But you don't wear your seatbelt in the car, do you? I bet you don't. And do you smoke? That will definitely kill you before a terrorist gets a chance to take you out. Americans amaze with with their hypocrisy and ignorance.

So "Bin Laden" is gonna strike again, huh? You Bu$h supporters should be asking yourselves "why is this man still ALIVE to threaten us with more attacks?" Wasn't he supposedly our number one priority after 9/11? Wasn't Bu$h gonna hunt him down til the ends of the earth? Didn't he want Bin Laden's head brought to him in a box? Instead of going after the man who was actively involved in the attacks on 9/11, Bu$h completely forgot about him and instead, invaded a country that had NOTHING to do with 9/11. See a problem here? Anyone who supports Bu$h should keep their fucking mouths shut whenever "Bin Laden" puts out another one of his tapped messages. The reason he is STILL able to threaten us and to send you idiots running to the hardware store is because of YOUR complicity in ignoring the real threat and invading Iraq. Whatever he does to you, you deserve it.

However, I don't believe for a second this this tape is legitimate. So the fuck what if the CIA said it WAS his voice? They don't lie, do they? They CERTAINLY aren't in the back pocket of these Nazi's who have taken over our country. They would NEVER do something like that. I'm sure. Your belief that these people are honest is what got us into this mess in the first place. Know this......the government lies. To YOU! Yes, even to you republican lunatics. They lie to you. Just like they made up that phony letter SUPPOSEDLY from Al-Zawahiri (I have already discussed this in a previous post), they are putting out fake Bin Laden tapes. They have been for a while. This man has been dead for quite some time, and Bu$h had nothing to do with it.

Why would Bu$h want Bin Laden dead? He, Bin Laden, is the ultimate Bogeyman for you terrified American idiots. If the bogeyman was dead, if the threat of an "imminent nuclear strike" was suddenly removed from the table, what could these criminal Nazi's haul outta the closet and hold over your gullible heads whenever Bu$h's poll numbers dropped or they needed a reason to take your focus off another instance of them destroying our Constitutional rights? How convenient that this tape was "released" just as the Alito confirmation is coming to a head; the Abramoff scandal is preparing to shine the light of corruption on every single Republican house member; right after we shot a missle into a soverign country (Pakistan) and killed 18 of their civilians (can you imagine if THEY had done that to US? You reich wing idiots would be shitting your fucking pants) and on the SAME DAY that Alberto Gonzales and his fascist Justice Department come out with the statement that Bu$h has the power to do anything he wants because we are at war and that they don't care WHAT the Supreme Court says, they will spy on us and search us and IGNORE our Constitutional rights because they SAID SO. Because they claim Bu$h has the power to do so. Incredible.

And you drones are more than willing to sacrifice your rights at the alter of fascism cuz of your ridiculous fear of an ever impending terrorist attack. You are not Americans. You are cowards and you are weak. You don't deserve to live in my country. To be ruled by fear that is being forced upon you by your OWN government? What kind of a sickness is that? Are we truly in more danger now than we were in the 1770's when the British Army was marching through our cities and quartering their soldiers in our homes? When we Americans had a mere toehold on this continent and a threat from a massive imperial army was threatening to drive us into the sea? How about in the 1860's when the country was literally fighting itself, brother against brother, father against son. Are we in more danger now than in the 1940's when Adolf Hitler and his extermination camps threatened the entire world? What about during the Cold War when the United States and The Soviet Union each had 10,000 nuclear weapons pointed at each other? Is Mutually Assured Destruction somehow less terrifying, less devestating to the American people than a suicide bomber? No, we are not in more danger now and to think we are shows how truly ignorant of our history you are. We have simply become a weaker citizenry. We have become a nation of cowards, subservient to these maniacs who have ripped the power FROM the people and now use that power AGAINST the people. Fear is a weapon, and it is being used against you to render you impotent. And it's working.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. The real enemy, the real terrorist and the real threat to this country (to YOU) comes NOT from the Middle East. Instead, it comes from our seats of government and from those with unchecked power over the people. It comes from Big Business and the power we allow them to wield over us. We cannot prevent another terrorist attack in this country and another attack is inevitable. We must live with that fact. The world is a different place and the rules of engagement have apparently changed (whether the all powerful America agrees with those rules or not. We no longer rule the world.)But we cannot, as a result, go around frozen in terror and hiding in our basements. If Israel, a country the size of Rhode Island, cannot protect their people from the threat of suicide bombers, there is NOTHING we can do here. If some lone nut job or a group of crazed religious maniacs who have told nobody else of their plans wishes to load themselves up with explosives and enter a mall or arm themselves with rapid fire machine guns, they are unstoppable. This country is too big.

So instead of quivering in fear and paralyzing ourselves with thoughts of "what if" why don't we instead focus our energies on the people who are ALLOWING these fears to take over our country. Who are ENCOURAGING these fears, knowing well and good that a fearful American public will not protest the repealing of their rights if they believe (falsely) that it will somehow "protect them" from the boogey man. Fear is destroying this country. "Bin Laden" never has to attack us ever again. He has succeeded in ONE STRIKE with destroying the United States of America.

Special Treatment

Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get them up against the wall! There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me, Get him up against the wall! That one looks Jewish! And that one's a coon! Who let all of this riff-raff into the room? There's one smoking a joint, And another with spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!

There is madness occurring in this country. Right in front of our eyes, filling the air with the stench of putrification and internal rot. Yet nobody utters a peep. This IS how it happened in Germany in the 1930's. I'm not attempting to make some wild, out of this world comparison between the current situation in the United States and Hitler's Germany strictly for shock value. I am continually making these comparisons that sicken, disgust and anger many of you because I have read VOLUMES on pre-World War II Germany, and the slow creeping evil that took over that country, I can say with confidence, IS OCCURING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. I would like to say that it isn't, for Christ's sake!!! I would love to have the confidence to state that all those "wacky liberals" who are screaming about fascism and "fabricating" comparisons to the worlds greatest evil (Nazism), are, quite frankly, wrong. But they're not. WE are not. How I would love to be wrong!!! For you see, I too must live in this country along with the rest of you. And I will be subject to the same "special treatment" that will be doled out by this fascist BuSh organization.

I have read dozens upon dozens of books on Himmler, the Gestapo, the Einsatzgruppen and Adolf Hitler. Read William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." There are pages upon pages in that book that are mirror images of the situation in this country. It's frightening. Read chapters that discuss how the Nazi party gained control of the government. How they slowly, under the radar of the normal citizen, chipped away at their constitution until it was no more. How they slowly started to spy on and lock up those individuals who disagreed or spoke out against them. How they locked up dissenting groups and pasted the country with propaganda and had flags flying on every corner. "Nationalism!!!" they screamed in their patriotic fervor! Those who went against the party were labeled as "un-German" or called Jewish sympathizers and were locked up or beaten in the streets. Protesting was outlawed. The German newspapers and media organizations were taken over by the party. They were only permitted to print favorable articles about the Nazi's and Adolf Hitler. The corporations made a fortune off cronyism and special contracts from the Nazi's while the regular German laborer (those who DIDN'T join the Nazi party)found themselves out in the cold.

It's frightening the similarities between this current administration and the growth of Nazism in Germany in the early 1930's. Frightening! I often times want to run to Canada and hide out there. Watch the coming storm roll across the continent from afar. I want to laugh (or cry?) when I see my fellow Americans getting locked up for protesting this Fuhrer and his officials. They have essentially outlawed protesting now. You read that, right? The Patriot Act now prohibits "disrupters" and subjects them to actions by the Secret Service (SS??). Jesus Christ, people! Are you just going to sit there? What, exactly, are you waiting for? What will be the final straw for you that will send you flooding into the streets in outrage? But I am an American, so I cannot leave. I must stay and fight like our forefathers fought the imperialism of the British Army and the vile racism of the segregated South. It is in our blood to fight! This is a country born on dissent and the desire to live free from a dictator( a king). So stay I will, and fight I will. For I am an American.

But for many of you, that day of rebellion will never come. You will simply join the party and become willing accomplices to the ruination of democracy in America. I am happy for you, but I hope you have the stomach for your special assignments. You who fall on your knees and weep at the feet of this man, George Bu$h, are as culpable to the destruction of this country, which you claim to love so much, as the German and Polish citizenry who happily tended their gardens as the ashes from the concentration camps covered their plants with a fine grey, oily coat of "dust" Or those who shielded their eyes from the sun, wiping the sweat from their brow as they paused to watch the seemingly endless lines of cattle cars pass by, packed with fellow human beings, on its way to eternity. You are just as guilty.

"Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure." - Glenn Beck, May 17th 2005

Beck is a fake christian. And how many fake christians have we encountered in the last 5 years or so? Too many to count. And he really really really believes himself to be a christian. He's always praising himself for his wonderful family values, how he won't let his children dress like all these "other" children out there. They can only shop, apparently, at stores that HE says are ok. I can only imagine. He brags how his wife can't(won't)wear anything that exposes her shoulder (huge sin) and her dresses must come down to her ankles. Wow, this family sounds like a fucking bundle of Christian fun!!!! I can just imagine this wonderful, moral family sitting around the dinner table in the Beck mansion and praying for the deaths of certain individuals exactly like Pat Robertson does. Is this the new prerequisite for christianity? You must be filled with hate and scorn towards individuals who somehow don't fit with YOUR view of the world? That you must unquestionably support the Bu$h administration, no mater what the Bolsheviks, communists and JEWS tell you they have done? Christ, the hypocrisy of these people is so thick it gags me.

Beck's big claim to morality is that he is a reformed drug addict and alcoholic. How many times have we seen this happen? A drug addict or an alcoholic (of which Beck was both) conquers their addiction to chemical substances by simply replacing that sickenss with another sickness, christo-fascism. They go from one end of the extreme with drugs and alcohol to the same end of the extreme with christianity. Beck believes himself and his fellow far right christian idiots to be better than everyone out there, ESPECIALLY we non-believers (WE are going to hell. Good. As long as YOU'RE ilk aren't there, it'll be a good time for all).

And now this fine example of christian acceptance and love has been hired by CNN Headline News. I have seen CNN slowly slip over the abyss now for a few years. They must be trying to compete with Faux News or they have been threatened to "follow the party line." Either reason is vulgar. There is no quality news channels on either cable television OR regular television. NONE. Not one. They are all reich dominated. They all spew the reich propaganda without a second thought or without a care as to the validity of their "stories." Even the most "liberal" cable news outlet out there, which USED to be CNN, is now so far to the right that they have become unwatchable. I rely NOT on television to provide me the news. No, instead I read the internet, I read newspapers from Germany and England and Israel to tell me what is really going on in my own country and in Iraq. I have read NUMEROUS news stories from abroad concerning this country that I NEVER seen reported here. How sad. How pathetic, in fact.

Our own news services, most newspapers included, are so under the dominance of the right wing that they consistently fail to report the entire story or the important stories. Instead, they are accomplices to the dumbing down of the American people by bombarding our homes day and night, much like the Battle of Britain, with irrelevant and ignorant topics and stories such as the Michael Jackson trial, the Chandra Levy disappearance (the 24 hour reporting and pontificating of was ONLY interrupted because of a little event called 9/11) and every goddamn missing white female in this vast country. These topics and the lack of real news reporting keeps the American people satiated. Comfortably numb. Lulled into non-action and apathy. Unable or unwilling to act on issues they know nor care anything about.

Unfortunately I have heard Beck's show, which is vomited forth from Philadelphia every morning. He is nothing more than a reich fascist. Anyone with a sane mind which hasn't been infected by the virus of christo-fascism knows this. The ONLY difference between Beck and other reich talking heads such as Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, Michael Medved, Michael Gallagher, etc. is that this perversion of a human being continually preaches his warped "christian" beliefs to his kool-aid slobbering, "Real American" audience. Beck claimed he wore his "What Would Jesus Do" (run) bracelet (the truest sign of a good Christian. Fuck philanthropy or helping the underprivileged, the omni-present yellow bracelet is TRUE christianity at work) to "calm him down" when thoughts like killing Michael Moore came into his fucked up head. Where was his bracelet when he said that he "hated" the 9/11 families? Or that the Katrina survivors who couldn't or wouldn't leave NOLA deserved what they got and were "scumbags." Where was it when he railed against beheaded American Nick Berg's father as being unpatriotic and that he, too, was a scumbag, because he DARED to criticize Bu$h and repeateldy made the statement that his sons beheading was DIRECTLY the result of Bu$h inept and incompetent foreign policy? (It was.)Or what about the time, only 8 days ago, that he consistently referred to Cindy Sheehan as a "prostitute." I have a feeling it was attached securely to his wrist. Fake Christian.

How could CNN hire a man like this to represent them? Did they learn nothing from MSNBC's mess with Michael Savage? Did they not get the hint when Rush Limbaugh (drug addict) was tossed from ESPN? If they believe Beck will "tone it down" for broadcast television, they are seriously misinformed. Beck, drunk with the belief that he is an agent of the LORD and that he is acting on the "right" side, will inva
