The Truth About The Estate Tax
(5/1/2008) Permanently repealing the estate tax indicates misplaced priorities
and forgotten lessons from the past. If you want to destroy our democracy, repealing the
estate tax is how you do it. Repealing the estate tax will cause opportunities to
disappear like a drop of water in a hot oven. Nothing will trickle down and everything
will get sucked up. America's billionaires will horde all their wealth, monopolize
opportunity, exploit our labor, rob our government, and kick our asses if we even look
like we are stepping out of line.

Pink
Floyd's & George Orwell's Political Animals
(4/29/2008) George W. Bush and the
Republicans in Congress are a bunch of thieving lying money whoring political
PIGS. They have proven this statement to be the truth
time and time again over the past seven plus years, and they
are showing no signs of slowing down or stopping their corrupt ways.
Up until now we have not
given them a good reason to stop their acts of treason, but I
have an idea how we can force them to re-think their wealth
concentrating, government bankrupting scams.

6 Steps To Taking Back
Your
Government
(4/1/2008)
Our federal government
has been taken over by a handful of inheritance rich Texas con-men. These morons and
sociopaths have their wealth managers manipulating both political parties through campaign
contributions. By controlling our federal government, through our elected officials, these
organized criminals have been able to shift the tax burden downwards, shield themselves from
legal liabilities, steal elections, manipulate our perceptions of reality through the
media, and loot the federal treasuries.

The Coming Killer Crash
(9/6/2007) This week legislation went into effect
that allows Mexican trucks into the U.S., and the Senate voted to confirm Jim Nussle
(R-IA) as Bush's new budget director. These events are somewhat ironically connected
because they both add to the list of decisions made by the Bush administration and the
Republicans in Congress that have put our government, economy, and society on a deadly
crash course.

Cash is King
(8/6/2007)
In a true democracy the government should work for the people, but in America cash is
king. We have lost our democracy and when we go to the polls in 2008 we will be voting for
people who are the products of one of the two money corrupted political parties. The
recent debates have shown that neither party has a presidential candidate who will be a
fearless hero willing to fight to restore our democracy, but they did expose the fact that
we still have two divisive political parties echoing the same half truths that their base
group of voters expect to hear. The Republican candidates want to cut taxes for the rich,
rebuild the military, end abortions, stop illegal immigration, and grow the economy. The
Democratic candidates want to reduce the cost of a college education, require everyone to
buy health insurance, toughen border security, threaten Iran, reduce the number of
abortions, and grow the economy.

SiCKO
(7/12/2007)
Michael Moore's new documentary movie, "SiCKO", was a real eye opener. It
exposed the fact that our healthcare system is lagging way behind other industrialized
countries in terms of cost, accessibility, and quality of care, and that these flaws are a
direct result of a money corrupted political system. The big drug and insurance companies
are giving our politicians piles of cash and in return they get to write the legislation
that affects their bottom lines. And it's not just the healthcare industry that is taking
advantage of our corrupt political system but every greedy special interest imaginable is
knocking on our government's door asking for legislation in exchange for campaign
contributions and high paying jobs. As a result, our government is staffed by a bunch of
money whoring ass kissers, no one is being held accountable for corruption, and our
federal government's vast assets and cash flows are being stolen by wealthy men who's
greed is only exceeded by a fear of a healthy democracy and an informed population.

Connecting The Dots & Taking
Action
(5/27/2007) On Friday Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid made a great speech on the floor of the Senate where he outlined many of the lies,
acts of corruption, lack of accountability, disastrous decisions, and frauds committed by
the Bush administration and other Republican members of Congress during the past few
years. These types of "sun-light" speeches are a critical part of what needs to
happen to educate the American people so that they can connect the dots and begin the
process of taking back their government from the criminal underworld that the Bush
administration and the Republican Party represent.

Bush Applauds Bad Immigration Reform
Proposal
(5/20/2007)
Whenever I learn that Bush and his Republican pals in Congress are highly supportive of
some new legislation I know there is a devil in the details, and that is certainly true of
a new immigration reform proposal that was just announced on Thursday. This new proposal
is over 800 pages long, and that fact alone should be a warning sign, but the main gist of
the proposal is clear. If this new proposal becomes law it would let Mexicans who are here
illegally stay here, and it would let even more Mexicans enter the U.S. under a new
"guest-worker" program.

Vote With Your Dollars
(5/9/2007) If you care about your country, your

is using your purchasing power as a tool to help effect positive change in our government,
in your own life, and in the lives of others, through boycotts. By boycotting the products
and companies on my list you will not only be helping to improve America's political
system but you will improve your health, save yourself some money, and send a powerful

The Bush Administration Is Harming
America's Children
(4/26/2007)
The most important activity of adults is raising children to be good people. Science has
shown that children are like balls of clay that can be molded into good or bad based on
the input they receive. Children are like sponges that soak up everything around them
including the strengths, weaknesses, wisdom, bigotry, intelligence, ignorance, morality,
criminality, and awareness of the adults who raise them and the teachers who teach them.
As a result, morons beget morons, drug addicts beget drug addicts, sexual predators beget
sexual predators, hard-workers beget hard-workers, leaders beget leaders, and so on.

The War In Iraq
(3/20/2007) The war in Iraq has just entered its
fifth year and over 3,200 American soldiers are dead and over 24,000 have been wounded.
Well over 100,000 Iraqi citizens are dead, mostly innocent civilians, and over 4 million
have been displaced from their homes. Our government has already spent nearly half a
trillion dollars and the final cost is projected to top one trillion dollars before it's
all over. A vast majority of the American people are now against the war, as are most of
the U.S. military leadership and members of the U.S. Congress. So why are we still there?
Answer: Because the Bush administration won't get us out, and I'm going to tell you why.

The Republicans in The U.S. Congress

fact, if I were new to politics and I heard these Republican's patriotic oratories I would

have heard all this before and I can assure you, without question or hesitation, they are
all full of shit.

Television Is Evil
(12/2/2006) 99% of everything on television is evil,
and the other 1% is being used as bait to sucker people into watching. I say this because
almost everything on television is being used to soften-up and dumb-down the American
people. We are being softened-up and dumbed-down so that we will not respond aggressively
to the people who have conspired to commit treason against our government. We, the
American people, are like fattened cattle being readied for the slaughter house. We are
like the native American Indians who were killed and pushed off their land. We are like
the Palestinian people who are being murdered by a racist religion. We are the victims of
an ongoing economic coup d'etat and this victimization will get much worse unless we learn
how to fight back.

Has The GOP Been Humbled?
(11/16/2006) You would have thought that the elected
Republicans would have been humbled by their substantial defeat by Democrats in the
midterm elections, but guess again. The GOP must think we are fools and that we are not
paying attention to what they are doing because they just elected five right-wing
extremist into leadership positions in the U.S. Senate. I call these five right-wing
extremist "The Fascist Five" and they include:
Mitch McConnell (KY) - Minority
Leader
Trent Lott (MS) - Minority Whip
Jon Kyl (AZ) - Conference Chair
Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) - Policy
Committee Chair
John Cornyn (TX) - Policy

A Bitter-Sweet Victory
(11/9/2006) The midterm elections are over and the Democrats
have taken control of the House and Senate, but this apparent shift in power is mostly
illusionary and meaningless and therefore this victory is bitter-sweet. I say this because
many of the Democrats in the House and Senate are people who have consistently voted with
the Bush administration and the Republicans in Congress on terrible fascist legislation
designed to rob our government, exploit our soldiers as low value pawns, and weaken the
middle class. And this list of sick fascist collusion could go on and on but the point is
clear, we still have a one party corporate controlled government. The only thing that has
changed is a slight shift from right-wing extremism back towards right-wing conservatism.
99% of the American people still have no political representation in Washington.

The Bush Economy
(10/27/2006)
The mid-term elections are coming up and the Republican candidates
have been traveling around the country parroting the following two
messages: "Look how great the economy is doing under Republican
leadership, and if you elect Democrats they will raise your taxes
and the economy will suffer."; and: "The Republicans are
strong on national security and the Democrats are weak on national
security and if your elect Democrats into the majority in either the
House or the Senate the American people will be less safe.".
Both of these messages are false but they are difficult to disprove
because they are both phrased in a future context, and that is
probably the reason why the Republicans are campaigning this way.
However, I have come up with some facts, analysis, and opinions in
response to both these false Republican messages. My information
exposes the fraudulent nature of these two messages by examining key
aspects of the U.S. economy and the direction the Bush
administration and a Republican controlled Congress has taken our
economy.

We Are At War!
(10/24/2006) The Republicans are finally saying
something I totally agree with, "We Are At War!", but the context is
all wrong. The Republicans are fear mongering about anti-American terrorist in the Middle
East in a sick Nazi propaganda con job designed to help them win votes, and that should
not be tolerated by any American citizens. The truth is it's the Republicans in Congress,
and many of the Democrats in Congress, who are at war against 99% of the American people.
They are lying to us, manipulating us, cheating us, and robbing our government. Therefore,
they are a much greater threat to 99% of the American people than any group of foreigners.

Boycotts
(9/1/2006) If we want to take back our government from the
fascist Republican Party we need to start treating them like they are the real terrorist
threat to America, because they are. We can borrow a strategy from their own
anti-terrorist playbook and use it against them. The Bush administration's primary
strategy against the "terrorist" in the Middle East has been to cut off
their funding. We can cut off some of the funding to the Republican Party by boycotting
the products, businesses, organizations, and individuals that support the Republican
Party. Following is my list of boycott targets: (Continue To

Bush Is Playing On Our Fears And

(12/19/2005) Last night President Bush gave a major
speech to the nation, and then today he held a press conference to answer questions. Both
of these televised events exposed how he is playing on our fears, misleading us, and
treating us like fools, and how the media is complicit in these right-wing frauds. It was
not what he said that exposed him as a fraud but it was what he failed to say, and it was
the questions the media failed to ask that exposed them as willing partners in Bush's

Bush's Christian Values Are A
Catch-22 For Christians
(12/5/2005) Some well respected intellectuals believe that
the Republican Party has been taken over by the Religious Right through the Christian
Coalition and other Christian and Jewish fundamentalist organizations, but I believe the
opposite is true. The evidence indicates that President Bush and the Republicans in
Congress are using the voting power of conservative Christians and Jews to maintain their
positions of power in our government so they can help a few of their rich friends get a
lot richer. (Continue To Full

The Right Wing's Colossal Conspiracy
To Rob America
And The Herculean Effort Needed To Stop Them
(11/26/2005) Put yourself in the shoes of a big time
investor. Say you have $10 million in cash to invest. Where would you invest that much
money to generate the highest rate of return? Maybe some real estate, stocks, bonds,
commercial paper, tax deferred annuities. Ok, what if you had $10 billion in cash to
invest. You might consider buying a company or two, or maybe a professional sports team.
Now, what if you had $10 trillion in cash to invest. You might
consider buying entire industries, or even whole cities. You investment choices would
become much harder to make because of the shear size, but you would have no choice because
your lawyers, bankers, money managers, and CEOs are counting on you to make these tough
decisions so they can continue to earn their bonuses based on you maximizing your return
on investment. (Continue To Full Article) |

The GOP Is Clearly Not Conservative,
And It Is Not Helping Our Democracy
So What Is It, And Why?
The GOP's Neo-Fascist Mafiaocracy
(11/20/2005) Many political bloggers, like myself,
often refer to President Bush and the Republican party as "fascist", and we are
correct in doing so according to Dr. Lawrence Britt who studied fascist regimes. Dr. Britt
identified 14 characteristics of fascism and the Bush administration and the GOP fit all
14 perfectly. However, I believe the term "fascist" is too narrow of a
definition for what I have been witnessing during the past 5 years, and the term
neoconservative is a misnomer because nothing Bush has done during the past 5 years has
been conservative or new. Therefore, I have come up with a new term that more accurately
defines the extreme right wing leadership in America today, and I call it "mafiaocracy".

New Poll Exposes Big Problem
(11/11/2005) The latest AP poll shows that Bush's job

Republican voters are starting to realize the Bush administration and the GOP are not
representing their interest. This poll also ask the 36% why they still believe Bush is
doing a good job, and most responded that they agree with his policies and like his
Christian values. That is really bad news because it shows that this group of Republican
voters are not paying attention to the facts, but they are responding to the GOP's
spin. (Continue To Full Article) |

Thank You President Hugo Chavez
(11/6/2005) Venezuela is lucky to have a man like
Hugo Chavez running the country. Hugo is a Christian with a long history of personal
sacrifice to help people rise up out of poverty, and standing up against powerful wealthy
interest; just like Jesus did. After serving a prison term for an attempt to overthrow a
corrupt right wing government in Venezuela he became a hero among the Venezuela people. He
has redirected the country's oil wealth into education, health care, job training, food
programs, land re-distribution, and a variety of other social programs. His goals are to
reverse extreme right wing capitalist policies that have concentrated wealth, land, and
media ownership into the hands of less than 2% of the population. He wants to create a
large vibrant middle class in Venezuela, just like we have in America. And yesterday he
made a large stride in that effort when he rejected Bush's FTAA free trade
agreement. (Continue To Full Article) |

The GOP's Newest Orwelling Titled
Budget Plan
"The Deficit Reduction Act"
Explodes The Debt By Over $3 Trillion
(11/1/2005) The GOP's new budget plan is a slap in
the face for 99.9% of the American people. Chapter 1 of this just released budget plan
cuts spending by $39 billion over 5 years. These are tough cuts in education, health care,
transportation, veterans, agriculture, etc. But then Chapter 2 cuts revenues by $70
billion with tax cuts that are very heavily aimed at people who make over $1 million a
year. That is a net $31 billion addition to an already enormous federal deficit, and not a
reduction as the title of their plan claims. Finally, Chapter 3 increases the federal debt
limit by $781 billion. This plan, that is incorrectly and immorally titled "The
Deficit Reduction Act", will increase the total federal debt by $3 trillion over the
next 5 years. The only reduction from this plan will be to the fiscal health of our
government, and the social safety nets that are designed to benefit average Americans.

Today The Number Of U.S. Soldiers
Killed In Iraq Topped 2,000
(10/25/2005) According to the U.S. military the total
number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq has gone over the 2,000 mark. And the number of
innocent Iraqi men, women, and children is well over the 100,000 mark. President Bush
continues to claim that we are making progress in Iraq despite a growing number of
insurgent attacks, the death of 2,000 of our soldiers, and the pull-out of several of our
allies. The U.S. has spent over $300 billion dollars on the war in Iraq, and re-building
Iraq, and yet the people of Iraq still don't have any garbage collection services, they
have a 75% unemployment rate, and they continue to experience frequent power outages, and
water, food, and medical shortages. (Continue To Full

Today The U.S. Debt Clock Hits
$8,000,000,000,000 (trillion)
(10/20/2005) According to the U.S. Treasury website
the total federal debt topped the $8 trillion dollar mark today. That's quite an
accomplishment for Bush and his Republicans co-conspirators in Congress. They call
themselves fiscal conservatives and yet they consistently produce catastrophically bad
fiscal results for our government, and then try to pass the blame for the results of their
own corrupt fiscal policies. (Continue To Full Article) |

The 5 B's To Beating The Bushes:
"Badger, Boycott, Bastille, Blitzkrieg, & Black Hole of Calcutta"
(10/8/2005) Many people (now, well over 50%) are
angry and frustrated by the Bush administration's corruption, cronyism, and countless
criminal and immoral actions, but they are not sure what to do, other than try to vote
against them in the next election. And if all the Carter-Baker elections commission's
recommendations are fully acted upon before the elections in 2006 and 2008 that might be
all that is necessary to take back our government from these corrupt right-wing fascist.
However, I'm not going to hold my breath until then, and neither should you. Therefore, I
have come up with a plan to drive Bush and his pals in the GOP out of power. I call it
"The 5 B's To Beating The Bushes" and it is a plan for
battle. The 5 B's are as follows: "Badger, Boycott,
Bastille, Blitzkrieg, & Black Hole of Calcutta" in that order.
I will explain each of these in detail. (Continue To Full

Our President Is A Moron
(10/4/2005) Today our tyrannical President, George W.
Bush, held a rare press conference. During this press conference Bush's jaw jetted around,
in and out, side to side, up and down, and this was when he wasn't speaking. His answers
to reporter's questions were shallow, vague, over simplistic, evasive, and often
incorrect. His facial expressions went from one extreme to the other within seconds. His
words were frighteningly child like. And his entire demeanor was one that screamed, "Our
President is a moron, and much worse.". (Continue To Full

Secretary of Defense, Don Rumsfeld,
Gives Senator Kennedy The "F*** You" Finger
(6/23/2005) Today I was watching
CNN when I witnessed Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld extend his middle finger to touch
his nose when Senator Kennedy was lambasting him for his incompetent leadership with the
war in Iraq. I admit that the timing of Rumsfeld's middle finger touching his nose could
have just been a big coincidence, however, I don't believe that it was. It looked like a
sideways "F*** You" finger insult all the way. (Continue

GOP's Slash & Burn Policy
(6/17/2005)
Yesterday, I heard the Senate minority leader, Harry Reid (D-NV), say that he has observed
the GOP using "slash and burn" policies as a reprisal tactic when they
don't get their way. Harry said that the Republicans start loading up legislation with
unaffordable tax cuts and they begin slinging false accusations against their opponent's
character. He said that these tactics are designed as reprisals for the Democrat's
obstructionism, and they are red herrings used to distract attention away from the real
issues that they don't want to deal with honestly. (Continue To Full

"Don't Get Caught!"
(6/2/2005)
There are a few extremely wealthy corrupt families, mostly from Texas, who are pulling the
string of the right-wing puppets who are currently running our government into the ground.
These few families are the puppeteers, and their puppets include George W. Bush, the
people in his administration, the Republicans in Congress, and even a few of the Democrats
in Congress. These puppeteers, and their puppets, operate with one prime directive: "Don't
Get Caught!". (Continue To Full Article) |
