Facebook Case Files VI

You're familiar enough with this recurring title to know what comes next, right?

Bachmann Blitzer Overkill

This lying about Obamacare is really getting tedious. Can we finally consider it ludicrous overkill when previous claims contradict current claims by the Obstructionist Republican Party? And what the fuck is with the media letting these lies go unchecked? There are about six true American journalists in the world, and they can’t cover everything. Step it up, talking heads. My little angertainment blog can’t make up for all your inept unreporting. And seriously, CNN, portraying everything as equal is disingenuous, inaccurate and dangerous. And frankly, fucking dumb. Sarah Palin claiming Obamacare has death panels is not fucking equal to Nancy Pelosi claiming it doesn’t. One of them is lying. Both Parties are NOT THE FUCKING SAME. Stop nodding your fucking head at everything politicians from both sides say. Call their bullshit, you useless fucktards. Displaying brightly-lit rooms with CGI effects and giant monitors don’t mean shit. Displaying the fucking truth does.

Oh, yeah. Ratings.

Engoddamnjoy…

Both Parties are the Same

Alright. Here’s the conversation I said was coming up in my 15 Differences post. Again, not only are both parties NOT the same, but NO information about EITHER party (or anything else, for that matter) is accurate when gathered from within the ‘bubble’ on ‘Bullshit Mountain.’ One source of information will never be correct. Especially if it’s FOX “News” since they lie. About everything. Yes, always.

It amazes me how EVERYTHING this guy believes is based on fantasy.  Of course, when his proof consists of simply stating, “HAHAHA! What a laugh! That’s not true, you Kool-Aid-drinking Leftie,” and then changing the subject, what else could you expect?

Cruise Control

Sorry, I know I’m supposed to be posting the sequel to 15 Differences, but shit keeps coming up. Don’t worry, it’s worth the wait. Trust me.

In the meantime, Tom Cruise is in the news. Here are my – uh…

…views.

Sorry.

Enjoy…

Sad

Short post tonight.

15 Differences

We always hear people say ‘both Parties are the same.’ That’s usually spoken by people on the right who know their Party is completely fucked in the head, but just can’t bring themselves to admit it. The closest they can get to admitting it is to make that claim of equivalence.

Yes, it’s true that there is some overlap – some Democrats take giant oil contributions, some Republicans believe it’s everyone’s Constitutional right to vote – but it’s what the majority of Party members stand for that counts. It’s what drives the Party as a whole.

I was working on a list that that points out the differences in Party ideologies, but someone beat me to it. Nevertheless, I want to highlight these differences. So, I’m just going to share the list created by Jeff (no last name) and posted on AddictingInfo.org. Many items on Jeff’s list were similar to mine – of course, mine had more ‘fucks.’

I’ll have a little something to say afterward. Enjoy…

Pivot

Here’s the sequel to Talking Point Argument from last week.

This guy is precious. When you live in a world where you only read the headlines of right-wing articles (World Net Daily: KENYAN-BORN GAY MUSLIM SOCIALIST OBAMA REPEALS FREEDOM!) and watch Sean Hannity promos (“Next on Hannity: Obama unconstitutionally killed four American patriots in Benghazi!LibertyfreedomJesus!”), it’s very easy to slaughter your hilarious proclamations and feast on their entrails.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you won’t ignore real facts and blame me for ignoring “your” facts (that aren’t facts).

Enjoy…

Coup, Me?

Postponing my previously scheduled blog post to bring you this important news.

Fact: Republicans hate democracy.

You won’t, but try to enjoy…

Talking Point Argument

Obamacare is already the law. Has been for three years. There is nothing to negotiate.

That doesn’t stop Republicans (or Not-Republicans?) from repeating easily debunked Republican talking points. And this guy is precious. He’ll be in the next blog post, too. That one’s going to be even more fun.

For me.

Anyway, enjoy…

Feigned Negotiation Tactics

The Affordable Care Act, affectionately known as “Obamacare” was signed into law on March 23, 2010 – 3 years and 6 months ago. Pay attention to what I just said.

Freedom of Bigotry

Before this post begins, I would like to say a few words.

Some of you may have noticed that “Mary” is often the opposing voice in my posts. It may seem like I’m picking on her. I am not. It just so happens that most of the males I used to have these “discussions” with have de-friended me and blocked me on Facebook. You may remember “Richard” and “Gomer” from way back. They are little bitches. “Mary” has bigger balls than the both of them. I just happen to comment on whoever posts things I think are ridiculously full of shit, and “Mary” at the moment seems to be fulfilling that requirement the most often.

Thanks. Now, on to the show…

History Lesson

I understand the concept of being polite. I’ve even attempted it on occasion. But just because someone has an opinion on something, doesn’t mean you have to accept or respect it. And it certainly doesn’t mean that it has any validity to it. To be blatant: Hitler’s opinion on Jews. Should we have accepted it? Respected it? Was it valid?

Some facts are not open for debate. That’s when the spineless people who want to placate everyone really piss me off.

Enjoy...

Bolshevik Bill

A short one today. Kind of on the lighter side of stupid.

An alternate title could be “Sparring With Idiots.” (Then again, I could title the bulk of my posts with that phrase.)

Five little words started this thread. “"Fox News" is an oxymoron.” I’m no longer amazed when I encounter people blindly devoted to an ideology even when not one teensy, tiny bit if reality can support it.

And I’ve just explained why I’ve been labeled an ass.

Enjoy…

Super-Reagan vs. Chemical Weapons

Just a quick blogadoodle about Reagan and chemical weapons because you mentally fucking stunted right-wing whackado’s who masturbate to the fictional memory of Ronald Reagan are really starting to piss me the fuck off.

Oh, do enjoy...

Facebook Case Files 5: The Mary Edition

Another collection of my misadventures through the mystical land of Facebook. This one solely involves Mary. She says a lot of things that are, let’s say, not quite factual. Yes, we are friends.

At least on Facebook, anyway.

Although, I can’t believe she hasn’t unfriended me, yet.

Wonders never cease.

Syria: Asking For Permission

Oh, Republican congressmen, be careful what you pretend to wish for.

Evolutiony

Did you know that if science contradicts your agenda, you may just ignore it?

Unfortunately, this happens all the time on many topics spanning all social and political ideologies. Whether your interest is in vaccines or climate change or gun control or alternative medicine or, as in this case, the evolution of omnivorous humans, people seem to come up with a predetermined conclusion and work backward to prove their opinion.

A friend posted this picture and article. I pointed out that it is pseudoscience.

More words happened.

Enjoy…

Chicago Confidential

Ah, the old “Sensational, Misleading Right-Wing News Headline That No Right-Winger Ever Actually Reads Beyond” trick. They always fall for it.

But hey, whatever. Fuckin’ Obama. That Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Kenyan, Indonesian, Hawaiian, completely inept, genius mastermind, Chicago thug, slick politician is coming for your guns by only signing laws that relax restrictions on them. And none of all those FOX “News” talking points contradict each other. Especially the ones that contradict each other.

Enjoy…

Lollapalooza

These are a few topics buzzing around in my head that are too small to book their own venue. They’ve banded together to put on a big show.

BYOB

Enjoy…

Genesis 2

This blog may make it seem as though my entire internet presence is that of confrontation. It is not. It’s just what this blog is about.

Here is a light-hearted pseudo-confrontational discussion I had with Peter where we really agree on the topic.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing.

Enjoy…

Life Buy Back

You can have your gun bought back. Not your life.

Or am I missing something…

Armchair Judgment

Everybody loves judging what other people say about George Zimmerman. And they love to complain that other people are judging.

I was judged as judging when I wasn’t judging, I was just facting.

Nobody cared. They judged themselves to be correct.

Enjoy…

Penis-Brain vs. Vagina-Brain

I fully understand that women defending women isn’t a situation into which a male should insert himself. And no matter what, I look like a dick here.

That was my mistake: forgetting the “vast difference in perspective.”

When people blindly, militantly and uncompromisingly draw a line in the sand, there is no use in debating. It’s like when saying we should have background checks to prevent convicted criminals from obtaining guns and the gun nuts insist you just want to take their guns. It’s irrational. And untrue. And useless to continue talking. 

I agreed with the sentiments of this person’s blog post. It is thoughtful. I just also happened to think it was kind of extreme in saying that if a boy continues knocking over a girl’s wooden block castle and no parent ever stops him, he will become a rapist. Of course, that translated into me not understanding rape culture in America. Because I have a penis.

Facebook Case Files IV

Do you want to play a game?

How about a game of chess?

No. How about a game of thermonuclear shut-the-fuck-up?

Trayvon Martin Found Guilty!

Sanford, FL, Saturday, July 13 – Knock, knock! Who’s there? Justice. Justice was served today as a guilty verdict was reached in the Trayvon Martin murder case. After a long period of ignoring this case until community activists shamed the justice system into action with an unrelenting publicity campaign, the Trayvon Martin case was brought to trial.

Deep Fried Southern Racism

Yeah, some more racism. Served up Paula Deen style.

I’m sure my friend wasn’t completely aware of the full story since he was away on vacation when it unfurled in the media. That’s why I tried explaining what was really going on.  But the part that actually ‘bunged’ me up was what his friend said.

White people defending their need to act racist without thinking that they’re acting racist is somewhat humorous.

Yet, not.

Oh, and in this post (as I did in Doors of Racist Perception and any others dealing with racism), I will not use the term “N-Word” when “nigger” is appropriate. Because I am a fucking adult.

Enjoy…

The Pledge of Allegiance

 

For the people who get all of your history lessons from bumper sticker-length internet memes, take note.

If you can pay attention long enough…

Humble Christian Soldier

This one’s a good one. Well, from my perspective.
I said something – granted, it was a little blunt (and misunderstood) – and a Christian, looking down at me from atop his righteous mountain, smugly tried to smite me.

Watch as his mind completely unravels when I point out he’s talking shit – and then begins rewriting his own history.

Let the smiting begin…

Doors of Racist Perception

This one I posted in a private message. I felt I didn’t need to embarrass this person for posting something she may not have realized she was doing. I understand it’s easy to get caught up in blind hatred and you may not intentionally mean something.

Or so I thought.

Enjoy…

Dissonant Encounters of the Cognitive Kind

 

I do not understand why women, LGBTQ people or any other minority would ever choose to be in the Republican Party. I hear this reason excuse all the time: “We are not a group of people with a singular mind. We don’t all vote the same way. We are a diverse group with many ideas and personal beliefs. Don’t try to put us all in the same group. We may not agree with everything they represent, but we agree with many of their policies. That is why we are Republican.”

Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Peek-A-Boo

Kind of a short rant this time. And the government already knows.
 

Enjoy…

Go Tweet Yourself

I don’t always immediately post a Tweet when I think of it. Sometimes, I’ll put them aside to post later. Some of the neglected Tweets have slowly built up into a little mountain that I’ll never get around to posting. Some topics are a little out of date, some are timeless. Either way, I’m going to clear out my unposted Tweet collection here.

You may have to visit this post a few times. The links included with most of the Tweets will all add up and I wouldn’t want to interrupt anyone’s poop time.

Facebook Case Files III

Another travelogue of my adventures through the exciting, misinformed opinions of Facebooklandia.

Enjoy…

Real Reasons

Republicans love to hate on President Obama. He’s further to the right than their lord and savior, Ronald Reagan, but that’s not what’s stuck up their ass about him.

Yeah, it’s because he’s black.

If it wasn’t, then why do they hate all of their own policies immediately after Obama endorses them? Why do they attack policies that were developed and pushed by Republicans for years, decades?

Deception Accomplished

We recently had the ten-year anniversary (March 19, 2003) of being lied into illegally invading and occupying the sovereign nation of Iraq. This invasion occurred for no reason we can yet discern, which resulted in more American deaths than all the terrorist attacks on America combined. We now know (well, some of us always knew) that Bush never went after Osama bin Laden, for the purpose of keeping the fear-drums beating for more war, as Republicans do.

“Hey, bin Laden’s still loosie-goosie, we gotta invade Iraq, cuz nukuler weapons! Freedom! ‘Merica!” – Georgie W.

Here’s a short conversation I had after the successful mission to kill Osama bin Laden, approved by President Obama, was announced. Then some related material afterward.

Enjoy…

Our Gun-Grabbing President

It has become clear to me that the President does not believe in the Constitution. Or at the very least, the Second Amendment. He has said and done many things that would restrict a citizen’s Constitutional right to bear any arms to which they feel entitled.

Let’s take a look at some of those things now:

Republican Math

Succinct post today.

Whitewash

 

I have a few words to say in honor of the George W. Bush Lie/Bury opening.

Explosive Hypocrisy

Due to small government (for corporations), a deregulated corporate sector and austerity measures, an uninspected fertilizer plant in West, Texas exploded in a blast that could be felt 50 miles away and registered as a 2.1-magnitude earthquake. Killing so far 14, injuring approximately 200, with 60 still unaccounted for, it is being called 'the worst American industrial accident in decades."

Government Tyranny

Just a few words for you mentally unstable gundamentalist twatwaffles who believe the Second Amendment is about protecting your addle-brained asses from a tyrannical government:

Bullying

Usually, it’s not ok.

“Usually? What do you mean ‘Usually?’ It’s never ok to bully someone!”

Fine. I’ll do my rant thing. Life would be so much easier if I didn’t always have to explain everything I say. (My posts would be way shorter, as well.)

Time Warp!

While researching things, as I do, I came across two speeches by President Harry S. Truman. One was from when he was running for re-election in 1948. The other was at the end of his second term in 1952 (when he said he wasn’t going to run for a third).

All I have to say is, Holy Fucking Shit. These speeches could have been given by President Obama TODAY with some minor topical updates. Does NOTHING change? Republicans fought for Wall Street banks, corporations and old, regressive, out-of-date policies, and Democrats fought for Labor, civil & economic justice and progressive policies.

I’ve never done this before, but I’m just going to post Truman’s 1952 speech (in full) and an excerpt from the one in 1948.

Please read them. I think you’ll think you’re experiencing déjà vu all over again for the first time, once more.

Enjoy…

Twitter Fight!

So, I got into my first “conversation/argument” on Twitter.

I don’t like it. 

All you readers out there in the wasteland, you know me. You’ve been reading my rants for a little over a year and a half now. I give a lot of information all at once (sometimes too much), often to multiple people simultaneously. I can’t argue within 140 characters, one person at a time. Hell, I can’t keep up with all the tangential conversations leading off the original. 

No. I just can’t.

I'm not even sure if this is where the conversation started. 

Here’s my story as it unfolded.

Enjoy…

Hypocrite Attack!

An oldie but a goodie. All I said was the pseudo grass-roots movement should have left a message – albeit in a colorful way. De-friender, Richard decided I was being a childish asshole, so he made up a bunch of things to illustrate his invented perception of reality.

Enjoy…

Health Issues

Last summer, the Supreme Court deemed Obama’s Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to be Constitutional. But that didn’t stop Republican Governors from refusing to implement this Republican-developed plan in their states.

This conversation, I think, is the most reality denying-est one I’ve ever been involved in. No matter what I say or prove or disprove or provide information directly from the source for – it is denied, ignored or laughed at as being crazy. And then dump trucks full of bullshit are emptied out all over the conversation and touted as fragrant petunias.

Ah, Republicans (I mean, professed non-partisans), the bubble in which you live is so impenetrable.

I apologize for the length of this post, but hey, I haven't posted anything in over a month, so I'm actually under my monthly word quota.  

(Spoiler Alert: Romney lost the election.)

Breakfast Burrito

Bit of a different kind of post today. Apolitical.

Facebook Case Files II

Just some more of my adventures through the land of uninformed opinions. I have changed the names so as not to sully otherwise distinguished reputations. Well, except for my name. It can’t be sullied much further.

I did not edit out any comments. When the threads abruptly end after I post my comment, that’s because no one replied.

Go figure.

Enjoy…

Science, Bitches!

I’m no scientist, but here’s what scientists say. You can either put your faith in them, or in the magic genies that were invented thousands of years ago by, let’s face it, really ignorant people.

Some of this stuff is from comedians, but frankly, I also give significantly more credence to their insights than I do the magic genies.

And some others are my own information-based opinions. 

Also more credible than the idea that "a magic genie did it."

Enjoy...
