A Win For Progress

As you know, the Conservatives, backed by the Teabaggers, swept the 2010 mid-term elections. The reason on which they ran was “job creation.” And that’s why they won.

Blackmailing the Truth

When something you’ve been touting for decades is proven wrong, what do you do? If you’re a Republican, you blackmail it away.

Thankfully, nothing on the internet goes away.

Ever.

And let that be a lesson to you kids out there: Post safely.

Class War: Trickling on the Middle Class

This is sort of a sequel to my previous post, “Class War.” A month after that “discussion,” Warren Buffett wrote an article in the New York Times and Jon Stewart referred to it on the 8/18/11 Daily Show episode, appropriately titled “World of Class Warfare.” 

A friend posted Mr. Buffett’s article on his Facebook page and wondered what his conservative friends thought of it. Here is that short but sweet thread, including the subsequent right wing, anti-factual, knee-jerk response…

This one involves my other good buddy, Kathy.

Names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Class War: Voter Suppression

Here’s an old debate I had with my buddy, Richard, back before he “de-friended” me on Facebook.

I’m posting it now because the Presidential election is tomorrow and we cover Republican voter suppression tactics. Well, I cover them. He denies them.

Also, I explain in fairly decent detail what happened during the fraudulent Bush v Gore election in 2000.

But most importantly, I wrote a badass version of Green Eggs and Ham.

Sorry that this is a bit verbose. I can’t control the amount of bullshit that squeezes out of a right-wing pie hole. 

Names changed. Enjoy…

The Latest Romney Bullshit

Since my last post was all about the truths surrounding Obama, I will counter it with a post about all the lies surrounding Romney. It’s only fair that I try to be bi-partisan. 

'Fair and Balanced' is my motto, after all.

I know it’s difficult to keep up with all the bullshit that flows out of the Mittster’s ass. That’s why I try to keep track for you. You have no idea how many shovels I’ve gone through.

This is just the shit that has been piling up over the past three or four weeks, so some of the kernels you may have seen already. There are several posts going back months if you’re so inclined to sift through all the rest of Romney’s shit.

Oh, DO enjoy…

Fuckin' Obama

To the Republicans out there, fantasy > facts.

Wha - ?

Oh, sorry about using that math symbol, Republicans. It means ‘greater than.’ And it’s meant as a direct dig at your mental acuity.

Wha - huh?

Oh, sorry again. Acuity means ‘keenness of thought or vision.’

Do-hutna?

I called you a fucking idiot.

These are all accomplishments that you Republicans ignore or deny about President Obama and his administration. As well as Democratic Party achievements and other facts in general.

I know, I know. The effort of all that obstructing. And for what? Well, that depends on how well your voter suppression tactics turn out. I’m guessing you hope it’s as good as it was in 2000.

Enjoy if you like facts. Deny if you don’t…

Facebook Case Files

Here are a few replies I’ve made to things people post on Facebook. In most cases, they don’t respond to what I say. I can only guess as to why. In other cases, a short discussion is had. And in some other cases, I don’t post what I’ve typed and instead am presenting my replies here for the first time.

In any case, I like to deal in reality.

Cases in point…

Mitt Romney Style

On 10/11/12, Mittington R. Moneyfucker said in an interview with The Columbus Dispatch:

“We don’t have a setting across this country where if you don’t have insurance, we just say to you, ‘Tough luck, you’re going to die when you have your heart attack.' No, you go to the hospital, you get treated, you get care, and it’s paid for, either by charity, the government or by the hospital. We don’t have people that become ill, who die in their apartment because they don’t have insurance.”

The Reign of Obama and His Super-Majority

Turtle-American and Republican House Leader Mitch McConnell gave an interview to his hometown newspaper. In the interview, he said, “Our view is, [Obama] has done a very poor job. Virtually everything he did that was wrong was when he had overwhelming (Democratic) support in Congress during the first two years of his presidency.”

Voter Fraud Is Real!

Republicans finally get their wish. Actual proof of voter fraud!

Now, if only they would fucking stop doing it.

Obama Has Destroyed America!!

It is still amazing to me how easily people can completely ignore the world around them in order to push a Party talking point.

Here’s another of the “discussions” I find myself getting into on Facebook. I haven’t had one of these in a while and it was fun.

Names are changed.

Suppressing For Freedom

There’s a Teabagger group called the Voter Integrity Project. They’re going state-to-state, county-to-county and handing in lists of hundreds of thousands of names that they demand need to be purged from voter rolls to prevent fraudulent voting due to various reasons including voters are deceased or have changed address.

Newsiness

This is an ad created by GING-PAC. GING stands for “Government Is Not God.” It ran in 19 newspapers in these swing states: Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa.

Skullduggery

I tried to think of a word that best describes Romney’s campaign. It is Skullduggery: verbal misrepresentation intended to take advantage of you in some way.

Just some more things and whatnot. So much fucktardery happens on any given day that it’s difficult to narrow the topics. I try to be minimum in summary with maximum in information.

"The Conservative Factor"

Question: What is the difference between the Republican Party and a religious cult?

Answer: The Republican Party is better funded.

Thorium, Indium, Potassium

If any of you who watched any of the Republican convention last week possess even a fraction of a percent of a functional brain, you are fully aware that almost the entire shindig was nothing but lie after debunked lie. Debunked or not, Republicans continue to vomit them from their lie-holes with glee. Politically, people have always tried to argue their point around the edges of reality. That’s expected. But the Republican Party of today has now fabricated an entirely fictitious universe and condemns those who dare expose their lies. This and more.

2nd Amendment Ludicrocity*

I originally wrote this one a little over a year ago when NRA lobbyist, Wayne LaPierre was at yet another CPAC convention claiming that Government policies kill people, not guns. And the Teabagger Party was eating it up like it was a deep fried stick of butter covered in powdered sugar and chocolate sprinkles. It was shortly after U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and eighteen others were shot at a public meeting, resulting in six deaths.

In light of the most recent mass shootings by American-born and bred terrorists at the Batman movie premiere in Colorado and the Sikh Temple a week later in Wisconsin and the gun people continually proclaiming, “Now is not the time to discuss gun control,” after every mass shooting, I felt the need to post it now. I’ve also added some new info. This may seem choppy in thought at times, but I’m aggravated and I’m trying not to curse so much. So give me a fucking break.

It's the Denial of Truth, Stupid

My good buddy, Mark simply posted a link to a Mother Jones article about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. There are tons of charts explaining everything and more links in the article leading to more charts. Simple, straightforward. In its unbiased reporting, it even shows how rich Democrats in Congress voted unanimously to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for rich people.

Enter: Kathy. I forgot that the facts which contradict Republican fantasies are the equivalent of lies.

Enjoy…

What the What?

OK. So, this website put up an article about how FOX “News” uses selective editing in the way they manipulate their “reporting.” It was a good article, showing what FOX said and juxtaposing that with the full transcript of the actual interview. Naturally, FOX edited out the parts that contradict the Roger Ailes anti-liberal mandate.

Since I had done a blog post about that very same thing several months ago, I posted a link to it in the comments section.

Then, the troll showed up. Since I often read the comments sections of articles I read, I’ve seen this nitwit before. I think you may have an idea of what transpires next.

Louisiana Devolution

Hey, remember when I told you Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed a bill that funneled large sums of public education money through vouchers into the private school Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) program? The program that teaches that since the Loch Ness Monster exists, it is proof that the theory of evolution is a fraud and creationism is real?

The Affordable Fear-Mongering Act

The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was upheld by the Supreme Court. Republicans are not the smiley happy bumble bees they usually are.

As Andy Borowitz puts it, “Congress passed the law, the President signed it, and the Supreme Court upheld it. So it must be repealed.” – Republican logic

Here are my quick thoughts. Enjoy...

Papiere, Bitte.

Or, in this case, "Documentos, por favor."

The Supreme Court knocked down three of the four provisions before them regarding the Arizona “Papers, Please” SB 1070 bill. The one they left in place was the provision that police could ask to see the identification of anyone AFTER THEY ARE ARRESTED. The racial profiling, pre-arrested, show-me-your-papers part of SB1070 was struck down. No matter what nut-job Republican Governor Jan Brewer and FOX “News” says.

The Left seems to think they scored a big victory, seeing as how 75% of the provisions were struck down. The Right seems to think that they scored a big victory, seeing as how the Supreme Court upheld the provision that police are able to arrest “illegals,” which they already could anyway.

What’s the reality of the situation?

PolitiFiction

Florida is illegally purging voter rolls before a Presidential election in order to allegedly weed out non-citizens (why does this sound familiar?). Republican Governor Rick Scott is suing the Department of Homeland Security so he can gain access to a database to help the state continue with its illegal purge. Florida is violating the National Voter Registration Act and the Voting Rights Act with this illegal purge. The Department of Justice is suing Florida to stop this unlawful conduct. Governor Scott is not stopping. However, the 67 Florida Election Supervisors in charge of purging the rolls have unanimously told Governor Scott to go fuck himself since massive amounts of people on the faulty purge lists have been confirmed US citizens. The Supervisors are no longer continuing the illegal purge; many have reinstated previously purged names. The Supervisors, thirty of whom are Republicans themselves, believe Governor Scott is in violation of Federal law, or at least wish to wait until the court cases between the state of Florida and the Federal Government are resolved.

Not so strangely, as with the fraudulent purge in 2000, the lists overwhelmingly contain registered Democrats and minorities, who statistically vote Democratic.

In honor of this current, blatant (and ever-continuing) voter-suppression of Democrats by Republicans, here is the 'PolitiFiction' post I promised you in my “Fruits of "Illegal" Labor” post.

Fruits of "Illegal" Labor

OK. I’ve been letting you off easy lately. It’s been about six weeks since my last a tête-à-tête post. They’ve been just me blathering on all by myself for far too long. Consider that remedied… 

All I did was make a teensy little factual statement (rant). Richard would have NONE of that.

Yes, Richard’s back. He makes more post mortem appearances than Tupac. Post “de-friended” appearances, that is.

Booting undocumented workers from America isn’t nearly as simple an issue as Republicans want. That’s probably why they also boot all facts surrounding the issue as well. Not to mention inventing a few of their own in the process.

Do I still have to warn you that these are lengthy? Names changed bla de blee bloo.

Cults of Intolerance

I’ve been sitting on this one for a little while because I didn’t really know how to begin. This religion-influenced ignorance burns me the fuck up. Organized religions are nothing more than cults of hate and intolerance. All organized religions.

 

“But, Bill,” you might argue, “Religious people are good people. Don’t single out the extremists as the norm.”

“No,” I reply, “Religious people are not good people. They are hateful, intolerant people and consistently use their holy books as an excuse to spread their own ignorance, hate and intolerance. That is their norm. There are no religious people who are good, however, there are good people who are also religious. There is a big difference.”

This episode of Sesame Street first aired Thanksgiving day, 1983. I was just shy of 12 years old. Yes, I saw it then. And I would be lying if I didn’t admit to occasionally watching Sesame Street now. There is still no better show – aimed toward any demographic – on television.

An event sort of recently happened that instantly reminded me of this lesson and this blog presents me with a forum in which I can share it with you. It's amazing all the things I've retained from this show.

On Thursday, April 26, while speaking at New York University about President Obama’s foreign policy, he managed to once again “pull a Biden.” He told the crowd that Obama has a big stick.

Guns: FACT.

Sticking with the gun theme of the last two posts, here’s a good one from six months ago. My ever-so-eloquent ex-dance partner, Richard, had a problem with me calling out the NRA Executive VP for shitting out a pile of lies. And as we all know, guns are always right, so I’m the asshole.

When Wayne La Douchebag proclaims Obama has a secret plan to take away everyone’s guns if he’s re-elected based on the fact that he’s only relaxed gun laws, that is NOT fear-mongering. It is “the truth.”

Republicans seem to have a problem with the definition of certain words. Like ‘fact’ and ‘truth.’

When Victims Attack!

Part 2: Liberal Welfare Kills

Part 2 is going to be a little different. There’s no real need for me to add comments since this is pretty much just between Bobby and me. I answer all his posts directly anyway. I will do it occasionally, but not as much as in past posts.

You will notice I often point out that what he keeps saying has nothing to do with the Treyvon Martin case and try to steer it back. But Bobby won’t have it. He wants to talk about racist Liberal welfare programs only. He never explains how welfare programs are only Liberal and aimed only at keeping black people down, but just that they are. And I’m stupid for not accepting it.

I apologize if the conversation circles back around on itself a few times. That happens when you insist something to be true without any proof and it’s the only thing you have to say so you keep saying it. And your only defense being the absolute denial of  any contradictory facts. I tried to edit it down, but it’s like trying to cut all the lines of fat out of marbled beef. It’s impossible and you would lose the flavor anyway.

Names changed bla bla bla.

When Victims Attack!

Part 1: Evidence? Who Cares?

I find it amusing when people who only watch right-wing news have the balls to proclaim they know what the left-wing news is talking about. How would they know? They never, under any circumstances, ever watch it. Oh, I get it. Limbaugh and Hannity tell them what liberals are saying. Of course that’s how they know! And Limbo and Hannity would never lie to push their agenda.

Here is a very long “discussion” about the Treyvon Martin case. One of I’m sure many going on in America where the gun-totin’ Constitution-loving Republicans unquestioningly support the stalker with the gun over the kid with the Skittles – regardless to all contrary facts.

I’m going to break this one up into two parts. There’s sort of a natural break point where my buddy Richard pushes his eject button and bails out of the conversation. Fear not, true believers. He has a worthy successor.

A Killer Waste of Breath

Oh, boy.

These Facebook “discussions” I get myself into really do pile up quickly. I put many of them on the back burner until I can revisit them later. Often, a reason will pop up and spur me to finally post an old one. This particular reason popped up six months later – to the day.

This time, a new discussion was similar to an old one, so I glued them back-to-back in this post for two reasons:

1) A common theme – murder

2) The same misogynistic dim-wit is my muse

The names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty – and all the shady characters in between. Normally, I would correct the spelling, but in this case it lends to the authenticity and production quality of this episode.

Women Are Stupid

Did that title grab your attention?

My other buddy who defriended me on Facebook makes another appearance this go around. Yeah, Gomer is pale in comparison to Richard, but he holds his own here. It’s not logical and it’s quite ignorant, but he sure is holding it.

OxyContin addict, Rush Limbaugh, in his ever-loving misogynistic way, attacked some women the other day – you may have heard about it, and Gomer, the ever-loving right-wing lemming decided to follow suit.

A friend posted a link to an article, and a Facebook dialogue ensued.

Already pissed off at this unending attack on women by Republicans, I was not particularly kind or patient with my responses to Gomer. In fact, I was spreading my sarcasm as thick (and delicious) as peanut butter.

Whatta Dogma-roon!

So, Republicans and Teabaggers, maintaining that the ideal behind the separation of church and state is not expressed in the constitution, keep trying to introduce laws prohibiting Sharia Law from taking over America. Sharia is the religious laws in the Islamic Qur’an. This is something that has not even once come close to ever happening in America. Nor is it able to.

Let me explain…

Fascism?

I wrote the bulk of this one year ago. It is a comparison between Fascism as proposed by Mussolini in his Doctrine of Fascism written in 1932 and the Republican Party in America as it currently stands in 2012. I was reminded of this rant since the topic of Fascism came up (albeit by me) during the conversation I had in a recent post titled, “Manufactured Outrage,” on 28 February. Please give it a perusal if you haven’t already. Personally, I find the conversation posts to be more interesting than my mono-perspective rants.

I’ve been calling Republican ideals Fascist for a while now. But I’m not doing it in the ignorant, baseless, moronic, fear-mongering way that Republicans proclaim anything not right-wing extreme to be Marxist, communist, Muslim, anti-Constitutional, anti-Christ, Kenyan, no birth certificate, illegals. I base what I say on actual, researchable facts.

But tell me, is my ‘Republican Fascism’ hypothesis wrong?

The problem with not speaking in bumper sticker-length phrases for small minds to comprehend is that this one’s quite lengthy, so make a pot of coffee first.

Other than that, this one’s fun. I lay out a bunch of facts, only to be rebutted with, basically: Nuh-uh. You’re a liar and I’m a soldier, so I’m awesome.

Fantasy Island Doctrine

Here’s an oldie from when the Arab Spring began almost a year ago. The short discussion started out with a simple misquote that turned into a hoax, which then took a hard right toward fantasy.

The plane, boss! The plane!

Don’t get me wrong, fantasy is fine when you’re roll-playing – either in bed or with Dungeons & Dragons. Just not when dealing with real-world issues. Real-world fantasy can occur when you start from a pre-determined political outcome and attempt to forcibly fit it to your party’s goals. Instead of simply following the truth. Wherever it leads.

Shameless Self-Promotion

When not bitching about politics, my day job is to sculpt toys and collectibles. Been doonit nigh on twenny year now. Sorry, that was my ‘old prospector’ voice. He appears every now and then. I have no control over him. That was the first time he showed up in print, though.

Anyway, here are a few reviews for a pair of model kits I sculpted for Fairbanx Models. The models are companion pieces to the old plastic Aurora Model kits of the 60’s. Please buy them. The Fairbanx ones, not the Aurora ones. I’ve already been paid for my work, so I’m not promoting the purchasing of them for personal gain. Wouldn’t mind if you did Fairbanx a solid, though.

Preconceived Reality

This is another fine example of fact versus fantasy.

After using facts and logic, I’m told I was twisting the truth and providing no facts. This Republican style of pure denial of anything they don’t agree with is a fucking amazing thing to me. I know there have been studies on this subject, but holy shit. It’s like their eyes and ears are just physically unable to process the words and sounds that they don’t like. It’s as if the facts only exist in some ultraviolet and ultrasound environment undetectable to a Conservative’s sensory perception.

Christ.

To be fair, he never says he’s a Republican. But it’s pretty evident from where he gets his opinions told to him. After reading this, decide for yourself.

True Lies

OK. I know I’m a little late to this topic, seeing as how the war in Iraq is over (until next time), but I recently found myself falling down the YouTube rabbit hole. This topic was not the subject of my research. I went searching for 80’s techno-pop music – and somehow ended up on Bill O’Reilly videos. The last one being of Billo the Clown berating a 9-year war veteran because he didn’t agree with Bill’s loaded question.

As is proven time and time again, Bill O’Reilly is a stupid fucking asshole.

Keystone Republi-Cops

Republicans in Congress attached an arbitrary deadline to the payroll tax bill last November – which had nothing to do with payroll taxes. It required President Obama to make a decision on whether or not to approve the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline within two months. The State Department expressed it wouldn’t have the time to conduct environmental impact studies and find viable alternate routes. 

Are You There, Ralph? It's Me, Tim.

I wrote this supplementary to my previous Tim Tebow post (“Ralph Is Not A Vengeful God” – January 4, 2012) because Jesus himself directly told me to. And you can’t say otherwise – you just have to have faith that I’m telling you the truth.

Corporate Personhood

If corporations are people, then they must have done these things…

Circumventing Reality

President Obama appointed Richard Cordray as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during congress' winter recess. He did this because in the Republicans' usual manner of putting party before country, they blocked every effort to this appointment in the past. And stated they will continue to do so until the Consumer Protection Bureau's power is whittled down to pointless. Because they don't want people to be protected from corporations' and banks' ability to squeeze every last fucking penny from you using hidden fees, predatory lending and 400% interest rates on payday loans. Follow the profits.

Ralph Is Not A Vengeful GoD

This blog about Tim Tebow was originally in the neighborhood of 300 words. But the longer I sat on it, the larger it grew. I’m posting it now before a continuing incubation period creates an uncontrollable monster impervious to pain and empathy. It’s already almost five times larger than planned.

I guess he wanted to stir up some more extreme right-wing stupidity before his awesome classy debate that everybody would certainly fight to be in since he’s the most important person in the world – well, at least in his dead-squirrel-covered mind. What? It was cancelled due to complete lack of interest by everyone except the second biggest ego in the world, Newt Gingrich? And the most pathetic sack of shit, Rick Santorum?

Don’t Google ‘Santorum.’

I’m inspired to post this Facebook rant from February.

Filibuster Me? Filibuster You!

These subjects were originally going to be the next two entries in my “¡Vete a la Chingada, los Republicanos!” series, but more and more words kept coming out of the tips of my fingers. And since they have the ‘filibuster’ commonality, my brain then decided on doing some research. And my fingers typed some more.

Then a little bit more.

Here is the result. Enjoy…

A New Pair for the President?

On Monday, 12/5, President Obama said, regarding Republicans trying to stop the continuation of the payroll tax cuts for hardworking taxpayers*, "Now, I know many Republicans have sworn an oath** [to lobbyist, Grover Norquist] never to raise taxes as long as they live. How could it be that the only time there's a catch is when it comes to raising taxes on middle class families? How can you fight tooth and nail to protect high-end tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and yet barely lift a finger to prevent taxes going up for 160 million Americans who really need the help? It doesn't make sense."

The Republican response to this statement was (predictably) that these tax cuts need to be paid for.
