And So It Goes…………..

While I took a break to remodel, read, paint and to travel I have experienced the dichotomy of the American and political brain when it comes to words not being put forth into actions and the handling of disasters.

Sadness spread by the hurricane on the East Coast followed much later by the tragedy in NewTown, only to be brought to an increased crescendo in Boston and now the disasters in Moore, Oklahoma will certainly(or should) rain on the parade of the Isis witch hunts or the GOP’s strategy sessions to degrade our President’s attempts to help the American middle class even further.

I will explain myself further if I am the only one who is correlating the dichotomy of the contradiction of the American politics in America:

1. At a time that politicians in Oklahoma are passing the personhood bill to ensure all rights of human life to a fetus who in many cases may not even be viable to sustain life outside of the womb and in other cases can lead to the death of a woman, they fail to see the importance of providing tornado shelters for the alive children in their States.

2. AT a time when Isis appears on the network and cable news assuring the public that he is going to work with President Obama to pass immigration changes he continues to attack and berate Eric Holder and President Obama as being in cahoot’s to lie to The American people and of intimidation and corruption, while off camera.

3. While the GOP and Conservatives in the Democrat Party reach out in an effort to express horror over the NewTown shootings they hands down vote down measures that would and do protect the American people and our children from future attacks in our schools, on our streets and in our homes. 

4. The above mentioned; along with the Tea Party, white supremacists groups,members of Washington D.C.’s political power, lobbyists, and our States show up at the NRA Convention where they help promote the lies to the NRA membership of 75,000 strong that these efforts to safeguard our children are only efforts by the Obama Administration and the Liberals to take away their guns.

5. Anyone who can not see the dichotomy of the Tea Party and Conservative cause that bans equal rights to women in their National Platform but profess concern for future generations while professing to be God Fearing and protectors of the Faith, Constitution, and Democracy clearly are not seeing reality.  To continually operate opposite of speech in action is a clear cut reality of not just the far right, Tea Party, and Conservative cause but also of the way too many amongst us vote.

6. The two headed monster of dichotomy in America is alive and healthy in too many of the burbs and rural areas in the Red States and the Conservative hold outs in the Blue States across America.  I noticed the very large billboards advertising the various number of Churches while we were driving into Pensacola Florida. 

Would Christ truly approve of such commercialization knowing over a 5 year period that those billboards cost in the neighborhood of $100,000.00 per sign and each Church has their own sign of advertisement? Couldn’t that money be better utilized elsewhere, since all the churches are also listed in both the motel room directories as well as the yellow pages? 

I also saw many of the Breadbasket and Bible belt States accusing a caring and compassionate Democracy that treats ALL American’s needs as being the practice of Socialism. Those billboards and signs are interspersed amongst the States that claim Christian values along our highways as well.

Since so many, I noticed, are also driving around with bumper stickers that read: “Put Christ back in Christmas,” to the point they fail to see the over-whelming generosity towards the less fortunate and the most innocent amongst us at Christmas time, of non-Christians and Christians alike, is the most Christ-like behavior we can express; couldn’t we argue that perhaps the majority of us are failing to see the obvious while the politicians and their paid for media are playing us for fools because too many of us are disengaged or in denial?

Where is the outrage when the IRS does question legitimately the huge numbers of groups who clearly are political that hides behind Religious or freedom of ideology just to get tax breaks that are not legal? 

Where is the outrage when the same people who start the witch hunts failed themselves to legislate the necessary funds that would have safeguarded our Embassys over seas? 

Where is the outrage when the innocent amongst us are left unprotected because the members of the GOP refuse to allocate the funding necessary to keep our children safe, or for that matter pass laws that would limit the amount of fire power by limiting the number of bullets in the size of the magazines?

We the People keep speaking to the political leaders across the Nation and their reponse is to actually accuse the government for interfering while we continually see the need for government to help us but our elected officials are refusing to do anything that will help us. 

Perhaps the only part of government we truly do need to down size and eliminate are our elected officials in Congress who claim to be on our side when tragedy strikes but votes against us when they have both a moral responsibility to vote for our needs and are elected to show competency as our elected officials.

While the media broadcasts and the GOP tries to tie a link with the mismanaged, scandalous and sometimes misunderstood depts. of government to our President has anyone even noticed that the deficit is going down, the previously uninsured can now get insurance while healthcare costs have gone down, the interests rates charged to students who are interested in improving their education and skills have remained low, the students who wish to go on with their education are now covered on their parent’s insurance, The GNP (Gross National Product) has doubled, housing has gone up and the economy is improving due to the changes made by the Obama Administration that is putting Americans back to work?

Where is the media reporting on the truth when Americans need to know? Hasn’t our President gone the extra step when it comes to tragedy and disaster in our Nation? Isn’t his concern and efforts for immigration change once more being stymied by those who insist they want the Latino and Hispanic vote, as usual? What bill other than the ones that apply to them personally along with their lobbyist, who purchased them, have the Conservatives in the Senate and the Congress passed in the last five years, that they were not pressured into doing because of their fear of not being re-elected? Have we forgotten that they only begrudgingly passed funds necessary to help those hit by the hurricane on our East Coast or to bring relief to the middle class and unemployed?

I will continue staying tuned in with my concerns while enjoying the retirement that my husband and I balanced the budget for that enables our enjoyment in the last quarter of our lives.

Every now and then when nothing has changed; as the GOP readies it’s strategy, with the help of the TEA Party, to enter under qualified candidates who are financially supported in the 100s of thousands and even millions of dollars and owe their souls to the cause of the Tea Party political machine; over those candidates who would put the American people first, I will check in with my readers. The Conservative and Tea Party groups claims of Social ideology over political based control or greed hurts my ears if it doesn’t yours.

With the 2014 elections coming up in less than 18 months can we not all smell the manure of another attempt to denigrate the Obama Administration
with increased witch hunts and lies spread by the Tea Party as we heard in 2010?

My empathy as always is with the suffering and tragedy of the American people. Will we ever have Republican and Conservative legislatures who acknowledge that the needs of “We the People”, needs to be their first and main concern by doing something in Congress and our States that would indicate the same?

Don’t we already have enough proof of the stall tactics of the GOP and Tea Party sponsored candidates to do nothing but to eliminate the pay scale of the middle class jobs, to lower education abilities,to protect capitalism over the people, or their failure to do that which is right for the American People as equals? Will we the majority of the electoral body get out of denial and get engaged in the true dichotomy of American politics? And so it goes………..

Why Do We Lead The World In Suicide?

Today I will offer my own opinion along with established fact that leads me personally to believe what the problem is behind the increase in murder/suicide in America.

We are second in the World in front of other advanced Nations after Montenegro in  percentage of suicides, where such records are kept.  When we think of ourselves as the Nation that people from other Countries want to immigrate to, we have to ask ourselves as to why our suicides are so high?

We  again begin with the N.R.A. interference into gun registration and add to that Americans’ love of the gun and its accessibility to people in America.  When the NRA not only fights against gun laws but also fights against people having to show proof of the lack of mental illness or treatment for depression when buying a gun, then guns end up in the hands of too many people who should never own guns.  They spend millions in litigation to fight privacy laws in favor of gun ownership. With the sponsorship of gun shows by the NRA across the Nation that require no waiting period what-so-ever and the illegal guns of street sales, America is flooded with guns.

Living in the land of guns and honey brings along with it the stress that often goes along with keeping up with the Jones. People do not miss that which they cannot hold,own, or goes unseen in their lives. American workers work longer hours in more extended days straight than any other Nation in the World.  We have fewer and less holiday and vacation days of any other Civilized Nation. We out work all other Nations in the World. Todays’s workers work longer hours than any generation has before them.

A person who struggles to feed their family or to provide basics are not nearly as likely to feel that they are missing out as those who are accustomed to getting what they want over what they need.  If we have paid attention to school shootings at all, we must have noticed that the majority of these children are white males who come from upper middle class or wealthy homes when murder/suicide does occur. It is much easier never to have had it than it is to have had it and to lose.   Americans many times marry their jobs since they spend many more hours on the job than they do at home, and when they find their jobs pulled out from underneath them it can and does trigger murder/suicide in the work place.

We are a Capitalist Society that invests in trade over the needs of the people. We are the only civilized Nation in the World that does not pay the entire healthcare costs of 100% of its people but yet we remain the richest Nation in the World. We  subsidize commerce to a far greater degree than do all other Nations just as our costs of the greatest military in the World cost 10 times more that what the rest of the World combined pays to maintain a defense system.

We live under stress every day of the week and often with wants that we either can’t provide for or feel we need. Many of us have not learned to make sacrifices now in order to enjoy life later. The exposure to goods in America,technology,clothing stores, and all other retail stores leave us wanting or feeling we are being denied.

With the breaking of the backs of our Unions across America by men like Sam Adelson who has vowed millions to eliminate them and the Tea Party Governors along with Republican legislatures  supporting the right to work laws without the same coming up for vote in our States, the middle class are dropping $5500.00 per year. Despite the facts, 47% of the American people who are primarily middle class voted to guard the gate of the 1% by voting Republican in our past elections. Stress in America is the number one killer because of the message driven home by too many for the need to own more, at the expense of the middle class.

When we started closing down mental Institutions because of the absolute abuse that was triggered by the lack of laws protecting our citizens, we went the other way and left our loved ones defenseless when it came to getting help for mental illness.

Previously to closing down the mental Institutions across America and the passage of the Equal rights amendment husbands could declare their wives unfit to raise the children and have her committed without even a record of instability. The husbands word alone was enough and many times he could get a Dr. to agree to the same without even seeing the woman. People who suffered from vision or hearing loss or were slow learners were committed into Institutions.  When the laws were lax towards those who could commit others, so much abuse reigned across America that it led to shutting them all down.

We are now in a cycle where those who are desperate for need of treatment for mental illness cannot get the help they need.  It is too easy to prescribe drugs without any follow-up or counseling.  Some general practitioners along with chiropractors, will prescribe both narcotics and antidepressants that lead to both aggression as well as further anxiety and depression.  In America if a person knows the right people or wants to find someone who will prescribe or supply drugs or guns all things are possible.  It only takes money to get whatever an American citizen wants both legally and illegally.

Even with good counseling and a drug plan that works parents cannot force adult children to remain on their treatment program.  The very symptom of some of the most grievous of diseases that lead to bouts of severe depression is that the patient will be made to feel better and believe that they can quit treatment which only aggravates the disease and makes it worse.

Drugs are readily available in America to both Street people and those who start out life as high achievers.  We are a Country that has a high tolerance for both guns and drugs while our Conservative politicians appear to be against the same with public messages over the years. They in reality will never face off against the lobbyists or the NRA who put millions into their pockets for re-election. Illicit drugs in America makes up 33% of our Gross National Product. Many killings in America are as a result of the flow of illegal drugs and the need to protect the distribution of the same.

We have 17 Republican controlled States that have passed the “Stand Your Ground Laws” with 6 more States discussing arming teachers. Too many amongst us have no concept of the danger of guns because it has been romanticized as part of our culture and of the old Wild West. When these same States are talking about arming teachers they are ignoring that any gun on school property is susceptible to causing collateral damage even in the hands of trained policemen.  They also are denying that even guns that are safe guarded in schools can be easily over taken by the gangs of bullies who often hang out in our school systems and intimidate teachers. When sliding steel pocket doors that close instantaneously and are impenetrable to those who threaten entry  from the outside are being used in facilities across the World the mentality of the American mind instead goes to more guns to protect against guns.

When people who suffer from mental illness are not confined for their own good or their own needs because Insurance Companies refuse to pay and  Obama care is ridiculed and fought against in sectors in fits of rage, then we leave ourselves and our loved ones vulnerable to the stresses and ills along with fits of depression that can and do lead to suicide. Instead of treating our mentally ill and  drug addicts we imprison them.

Any Nation of wealth encompasses people who make comparisons because too many times the politicians themselves will belittle or blame the have-nots while promoting those who have. The Republican Party appeared to accelerate that belief this past election with attacks against the poor in their own leadership and the need to adopt the Ryan Plan in order to deny the needs or in most cases the rights of the people. When those who are feeling rejected from loss of jobs and incomes, or are being bullied by others, are made to find their own uniqueness a fault rather than a plus, we leave open the potential to not only suicide but we harbor those who would take down our children with them.

We are a Society who puts too much importance and stress on the things we own, on beauty,skin color,appearance,money, and popularity. We encourage sameness or like beliefs, over encouraging individual expression.  We too often fail to encourage value in the uniqueness of each individual to express that uniqueness but instead demand that we all share the same belief system. Those who fail to fit into a cli’que of like mentality are often shunned,ridiculed, and bullied.  We support violence in the games we play and the movies we watch.  The movie industry knows and understands that movies without sex or violence will too often fail at attendance and revenues.

Our educational system is not supported by the Conservative causes and ranks low in comparison to other civilized Nations as a result of it. Bright children are too often criticized for their superior intelligence and not supported by a system that inspires them up to their abilities to succeed, due to limited funds granted to the School districts in our States.To many amongst us push our children in all categories that will gain them popularity over education and in doing so, to often it leads to mediocrity while insisting they excel in sports.  When highschool coaches feel that winning is the only thing that will save their jobs they offer steroids and muscle enhancers to their young players and it starts a panacea of corruption in our sports’ programs. The stress to always have more and to do better leads us in advancement in many fields in the world,  but it also breeds the ravages of failure, in those who feel as though they cannot achieve or have been left behind.

We self medicate on drugs and alcohol to cover up feelings of inadequacy or pain, because we place a astigmatism against mental illness. We do not tolerate those who expose our own weaknesses. The people who cause such carnage as was done in NewTown Connecticut, are usually those who are coming down off of a bad drug trip, are feeling neglected, powerless,weak,or worthless. Behind a gun they feel omnipotent and powerful and ready to show others who they often feel have either ignored them or made them to feel less of the person than they are.

We as a Society ignore and deny the power of the gun in the hands of those who would not otherwise kill, because of the control of the N.R.A. in our Nation or the fear tactics used against us to protect ourselves. They are not the only ones who use fear tactics as home alarm companies call and exaggerate home invasions in areas where none exist along with those who promote gun sales and under ground bunkers. The home alarm companies calls are being made in homes illegally as I have received the same  even though I am on the government “Do not call list.” They get around the law by claiming to offer a free prize. People rush gun stores and buy military weapons that have no business in any of our homes each time they think they will be denied their guns by law.

Those who act out in total disregard of human life do so because they lack empathy for anyone but themselves or they feel disrespected. In neighborhoods where drugs are sold on street corners,others die over drug sales. Others feel that they have been so ridiculed that they can only seek justice behind a gun. They may suffer from irrational beliefs  but they know full well that they will leave behind pain and destruction. Many times they feel that they will be a person whose name will go down in history as having made a difference, while knowing full well the misery they cause.  We as a Nation have romanticized people like Jesse James,Billy the Kid, Bonney and Clyde, Annie Oakley and other outlaws of the old West as heroes over generations, and in doing so we have romanticized the use of the gun to settle disputes.

Those who cause a silent suicide or one that does not draw attention to the outside World often do so because they are suffering, or cannot face the future, or feel that they are a burden on their loved ones.  Others are fearful of the future because they become so steeped in Religious conviction of Armageddon, or that God wants them or their children saved  from a sinful World, or suffer severe mental illness to the point they hear voices from the devil to kill. Other suicide/murders are committed over child custody or domestic disputes when they have access to a gun. Often times those who are afraid that they are lacking because Societal norms do not accept them for the person they are, will feel that life is not worth living or are driven by the need to gain revenge and do not consider the pain they leave behind because the act of murder/suicide itself, is most often an act of “Me Only.”

People who are sensitive to those who criticize, and often times are made to feel they are inadequate or weak are made to feel powerful behind the gun. It is just as likely to be a meek personality as it is an aggressive personality that uses a gun to kill.  America has 18,000 suicides a year where other Civilized Nations, who keep records of suicide, do not reach higher than into the 200′s. In total of murders and suicides we have 32,000 people lost each year. All other advanced Nations who have a much lower suicide and murder rate offer free mental health services that give parents more control over the treatment of mental health and much stricter gun laws.  It does not take a rocket Scientist to understand why America excels in the numbers of suicides and murders over all other advanced Nations in the World

Along with the greatest Democracies in the World comes the freedom to misuse that freedom through both abuse of others and self-inflicted wounds. With freedom comes the need to protect its citizens through just laws.  Americans should have a much greater right to live over the right to own guns.  We need to do a better job in understanding that our people as well as our children should never have to feel that they are less than the need or greed of Capitalism in a free Society. If we keep electing a Republican majority in Congress and in our States, who refuses to act in the best interests of our people, then don’t we have some responsibility to bear for the same? We are coming out lacking as a Nation because of our own lack of demand and insistence on the fact that our politicians can do better.

It brings some comfort to me to see that at long last we have hope at least that those responsible will do something but the proof still remains in the pudding. I long for the days when we can again promote the many qualities of all of the American people who are supported by all of our elected politicians, instead of a few.  America is still the best Country in the World but we need to be honest about our faults in order to make much-needed changes. May all of our politicians be strong enough to stand up against the lobbyists and brave enough to bring forth all the good qualities that are representative of America.  Wishing all of us hope this Holiday Season!

Why Are They Anti-Education?

We who heard Rick Santorum’s comment, “Barack OBama is such a snob he thinks everyone needs to be educated,” were amazed to hear a Tea Party and Conservative representative admit that both the Tea Party and Conservatives would acknowledge their drive to eliminate funding for public schools and State supported education. The student being under attack does not come as a surprise. I agree he did not exactly say that in those words but even though both are educated as a group they believe in vouchers going to Private schools instead and are against paying taxes to public or State schools. Their ideology is often fraught with contradictions. Santorum’s comment was intended to appeal to the home schooled children in America as well as those who do not have a college degree and supported him.

The reason that education is under attack by the right-wing is for the obvious, in that education, according to the belief of the right produces Atheists or non-God fearing individuals. This is a long held belief going back to the 1700′s. Education has always been under-attack by the Religious right or the right-wing Conservatives.

The less obvious reason today is the fact that more women than men are getting college educations in far larger numbers and the attitude still exists amongst them that education makes women “uppity,” and less likely to take orders from a man. With far more jobs requiring an education today, they over look the reason why more women are hired today than in the past. They believe, as I have said many times,that women are taking jobs from the white male who are rightfully entitled to those jobs even when they lack the same level of education.

With education and State Universities teaching our young people to think for themselves or individualism and the power to solve problems, the right-wing believes that the answers that are taught by Religion are replaced instead by answers found in Science and this underminds Religion and leaves people as Atheists or Calvinists.

Some religious beliefs are tied so tightly to the literal interpretation of the Bible that anything or anyone who disputes it are heretics.When education replaces the history that is often taught them through the Bible and not always accurately, by Religious leaders, then they blame the educators for teaching their students heresy.With the Conservative majority of 70% in the Republican Party, we will not see Science on the platform of the Republican Party in Tampa, Florida, when they officially select their Presidential candidate later this year.

At an earlier time in our history, before the McCarthy era, College professors were under literal attacks by Religious leaders and many fled to other parts of the Country or Europe because the Religious leaders were accusing them of being infidels who were teaching the young atheism. It was no different from the lies that were spread by the Conservatives during what became known as McCarthism and was of course named after Joe McCarthy who felt there was a Communist behind every tree and a conspiracy between Hollywood and the Democratic Party.

Carl Rove’s group has an ad out that calls President OBama the entertainment President because he is adding humor to his message while campaigning. I’m amazed with all the vile lies that have come out of the mouths of the Conservatives and Tea Party against our President, that he is even able to smile. God Bless him for not being the mean spirited and angry old man that Mitch McConnel and Boehner are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they drummed up conspiracy theories in Hollywood with the Democrats again. After all, all the other lies voiced by Joe McCarthy has been said against the Democrats today, that were said then. It is as though they have the playbook of that seriously disturbed man and are using it again.

Excuse me for the fact that I digressed. The belief that college professors outside of the conservative private schools are Godless people, still exists in areas of our Nation and explains why education along with educators are still degraded by some members of the Right-wing Conservatives. To hear another grown man call the President of the United States, and the only person running in this election when he openly annouces that he is from humble roots, to me, sounded as immature as it is.

Of course, in order to hold groups together the masses need to believe as their spiritual directors teach and that is why people who attend Churches are quite often referred to as flocks. When young people are taught to think for themselves or to express theories that are derived my their own efforts,they become more invested in their own abilities to solve problems as well as to question the theories taught them by others. State Universities teaches other subjects based on the beliefs of other Religions that Religious leaders feel is in direct conflict with Christianity. Many of the subjects are not part of any State curriculum but instead electives and choices given to students. It runs the gamut from pre-Bible to Hinduism

With individualism in any kind of organizations or groups or even in cliques we lose the ability to control the direction that others take when it comes to self expression of their own individual thinking. When control is lost many believe that we end up with unrest and anarchy amongst the masses. In earlier days people who were different were thought to be such a threat that many were stoned to death or burned at stakes because they were so feared by the majority. Many were simply just brighter or more talented or accepted others to a greater extent than they were accustomed to in their towns or villages. The superior intelligence of the Jewish people has been grounds for hatred against them since the developement of civilization, by other nationalities.

The Republican Party will double the amount of interests on student loans in July, if Congress does not vote to extend the lower interests of 3.2% that is currently in place on student loans. Republicans do not like student loans,not because of some of their attitudes or ideas against education, but because they have limited tolerance for the poor in America and our college students are amongst the poorest. Not all college students are born with a silver spoon in their mouths or attend Harvard or Princeton. Many find that the only way they can attend college is on student loans. Any jobs that they hold along with getting the degree goes for rent,clothing,gas and food. Many in the Republican Party do not see education as an investment in the future of America but instead as a way for banks to make money.

As a collective unit the poor do not vote for the Republican Party and we often hear the Republicans say that they are draining the resources in America. This of course is so far from the truth of where the tax payer’s dollars are spent as to be declared rediculous by all outside of Washington economists. A far greater amount is paid into Corporate welfare than goes to the poor. The poor do not have a voice in how America is ran nor are they homeowners who can add a proportionately level of income to Capitalism, as a rule, so the Republican Party pretty much shuns them. Mitt Romney has openly admitted to the fact that he does not care for the poor as they have a safety net already. That so-called safety net is slated for removal by the Republican Party under the Ryan Plan. Instead we will hear the Republicans say, along with Mitt Romney,”the fact that the Republicans do not care about the poor,” is just a myth or a diversion tactic used by the Democrats and Barack OBama, in an election year.

When the Democrat majority lowered the interests rates to 3.2% all the Republican Party saw was the interests that would be lost to Capitalism, and banking especially. That is why when a student asked Mitt Romney if he planned on lowering interest rates on student loans in his last run for the President in 2008 his reply was,”No siree, we are not going to give away any cheap money here.” He can now agree on a temporary extension since it comes up for vote again in July before he would be in office.

Many believe that both sides of the aisle will vote to continue it temporarily since it is an election year. However, It is just another one of those investments in our future that is slated to be done away with under the Ryan Plan, if we end up with a Republican majority, in November. Your vote is needed for your own future as well as ours. Vote in November.

Addition: In support of Mitt Romney, Boehner, and Mitch McConnell, both announced yesterday they would extend the current student loan interests rate at 3.2% for another year. We can all bet if a Republican majority is elected, it will be gone after that. The Ryan Plan claims to be tax reform but it is the biggest disgrace in our Nation yet when it comes to tax inequity provisions because it is balancing the budget on the backs of the poor,students,middle class workers and the elderly while leaving Corporate welfare and oil subsidies alone along with the wealthy untouched while lowering their taxes even further. It is a disgrace in the eyes of many but what the Republicans have taken a oath to defend and to pass.

Bigots Speak At CPAC

For those who do not know what CPAC means, it is the initials for Conservative Political Action committee that is meeting for the second day today, to firm up their straw poll for which candidate they will support. Early forecasts, and if you read my post yesterday it should be no surprise to anyone, if applause is any indicator, it appears that Rick Santorum will be their choice.

If I may digress from the title for a moment, when Rick Santorum was asked what he thought about the changes being made in the military for women in combat; He said, and I quote,”I do not think that it is a good idea to put women on the front lines as it would offer too many distractions because of emotions.”

This is another typically insane statement that comes out of the disturbed mind of Rick Santorum. Everyone appears to be puzzled by exactly what he means. Does he think women are too emotional to do the job or does he think it will distract the male troops if they get an erection? When he exclaims,”It’s hot down there”, one can only believe he is talking of the later, unless perhaps he has a venereal disease for which he needs to be treated with anti-biotics.

The man is so focused against women libertine and against contraception, just being wrong in his mind,it’s anyone’s guess what he is saying. His ideals are even extreme when it comes to the teachings of the Catholic Church, which he professes to be a member of. He clearly speaks as a man who only sees women as a womb and therefore incapable of anything other than procreation. Apparently he is in favor of the idea that women just lay there and conceive since the fear of pregnancy or pleasure, would be a sin for women, in his convoluted mind.

The really offensive thing, and it only follows up with the bigotry in the Conservative group and Tea Party belief, is that the White Nationalists are speaking at this Convention to not only promote their own ideology but that which the John Birch Society embraces and from which the Tea Party springs, as well.

The official interpretation of the White Nationalists is that it is an intellectual society as well as political that advocates National identity for the white race with subgroups of White separation and White supremacy although they try to play down the supremacy group while in conversation. They use statistics and social science to define their self-conscious white identity. They challenge immigration,civil rights and racial integration, no different from what the Tea Party does.

White people are defined by them to mean people of White European descent with non-Jewish roots. The truth is they are no different from the judges, ministers, and lawyers who use to wear white robes and hoods with the exception that they do not go around burning crosses or killing innocent people.

For those of us who know that the Conservatives claim to be so pro-Israel, we have to question as to why they would tolerate such bigots at their conventions, much less let them speak.

The answer of course is that when Rick Santorum made the comment in Iowa, “we needed to make black people get off welfare and work for their pay check.” he spoke out loud what the Conservatives really say behind closed doors. Only Newt said it out loud in front of the World when he said,”Black youth need to be put to work as janitors in the schools and babysitters at the illegal age of ten. The bigots are gathering to train their subjects.

If the Conservative and Tea Party connections, do not scare us all then those of you who are bigots, all I can say is, I am sorry that you allow yourself to hate because it only destroys you.Many times when we think we are better than someone else that “Karma” will follow us to the point that it will either turn our own children or our grand children against us.

Those of you who think your genealogy will withstand the “white test” could be surprised to find yourself the victim of discriminatory practices, by the time these bigots finish their studies.

There were laws prohibiting marriage in Europe, as well as America. People were not allowed to marry outside of their Class, Religion or Race. This did not prevent couples from falling in love, although it was forbidden by law.

As a result of the lack of effective birth control for women, unlawful pregnancies did occur. If they married or considered marriage, they were put in jails and frequently sentenced to death. Other times they would be hung and beaten by what was known as mob justice or vigilantes. Fathers and husbands had a right to punish their daughters or wives in any manner they saw fit.

The Ku Klux Klan killed Catholics, Jews, and African-Americans, while others looked the other way and denied any knowledge of the same. Bombings of Churches and Synagogues along with homes of families and lawyers, who worked towards civil rights and in defense of the same, were a constant in the South. If they did not seek illegal abortions under duress, then adoptions were sit up that gave the child different backgrounds and a new identity.

The hate that existed amongst races and religions,were more violent because of prosecution today, but the hate being directed towards people of the Muslim religion and against gay marriages, today, is the same, as the bigotry against inter racial marriage was then.

It is government and the laws that prevent the constant and continued violence that they were able to get away with then. The Conservatives and Tea Party have a continued refrain as to the interference of government in our lives, since they believe equality of the races, women, and workers is theirs to determine. In truth, they see us as the”lesser of God’s creatures,”for which the Bible gave them dominance over. They quoted the Bible against inter racial marriages then as they do against gay marriages today.

No one ever spoke of or ever told children, who were conceived out of marriage, that they had been adopted out to other families. Closet secrets were to remain in the closet and anyone who failed to “Honor” the secrets, was usually sent away from the family or made the “Black Sheep” of the community. Other times the community would literally pour hot tar on them and then pour feathers over them, if anyone divulged any truths that were to remain secret. They had many ways to force people to remain silent through acts of humiliations, if anyone was to tell the truth.

If the children were too young to remember the adoption, they grew up never knowing they were adopted but in many cases always longing for something that they felt missing in their lives. The adopted child simply took on the religious beliefs of the family who adopted them along with their nationality or race.This produced many of our ancestors. It was not until 1967 in Pace vs. Alabama, The Supreme Court ruled that inter racial marriages were legal.

At other times, the family who declare European descent, and think their ancestors did not marry or have a family member of a different race forced to produce a child in their family, should reacess their thinking, as it is very rare in America, when a member of our own family was not placed in a compromised position by those who felt entitled to commit injustice against a member of our own family.

All of us have members of our families who would be of questionable descent on their list of “unacceptables”. Men of all nationalities as well as men of white European descent, throughout the world, have forced themselves on women of all races,creed and color since the beginning of time. When these bigots determine who can pass their tests, they go back many generations as what they really are after is dominance of the entire human race.

The attacks on women or on other occasions, the secret affairs by women, have produced children who became our ancestors, even if they did not marry them out right;as a result rare is the family that would not be considered a mixed race family by these bigots. We cannot let the bigots amongst us return us to the 1700′s mentality, with our help.

When they claim, “President OBama is causing Class Warfare.” they are doing nothing more than using diversion tactics in an effort to cover up the truth. It is no different from the tar and feathering of another time in history. By now we should all be aware of their intentions to deny equality to all but the 1%, while President OBama fights on for the best interests of all of us.

When people of different backgrounds and ideas meet to discuss different thoughts,actions, or theories we become the most advanced and strongest in the job market. It is through new inventions and ideas that we lead the World in productivity. This is what has always given us the step-up and advanced us as a Nation over the rest of the World.

Even with our economy, that is slowly recovering, we are still considered the safest Country in the world for other Nations to invest. When we accept the differences that exist in all of us, regardless of race,creed, and color, we also lead the World in the acceptance of morality and human rights.

It has always been the differences between us that stimulates thought and engineering in American Democracy, and has made us the greatest Democracy in the World. To allow these bigots to destroy our acceptance of diversity is no different from if we, ourselves, participate in the destruction of our own Democracy.

I will digress again and offer an update on the Wisconsin recall of Tea Party Governor Scott Walker, as another thing that must never change us back to the mentality that these bigots are suggesting and before Unions were established to protect our rights as workers, is the right for the American worker to receive an honest day’s pay for an honest days’ work.

After the Koch brothers pumped millions of dollars into their efforts to save Scott Walker, the legitimacy of the million signatures that were gathered on the petition to recall him, have been verified and found accurate. It is the largest ever done in history.

Scott Walker’s Pacs are running ads that are filled with lies with the 4 million dollars pumped into his fight to remain in office, from Tea Party interests.

Those who do not know what the problem is, Scott Walker, has been Union busting in the State and has laid off more workers in Wisconsin, than any State in the United States, as well as, set back the teaching staff, to the point Wisconsin schools may never recover.

The up and coming bright star of the Republican Party and Tea Party darling, governor Mitch Daniels, of Indiana is doing the same thing with the Republican majority in his State by passing through, “the right to work laws.” This has also been attempted in Ohio.

The Republicans in Virginia, under the guidance of Bob McDonnell, who is on the A-list as a vice Presidential candidate, have passed through the legislation, a bill that would ban all birth control. They have also passed a bill stating that all women, including rape and incest victims, must be probed by a totally intrusive, sometimes painful, and unnecessary vaginal ultrasound, before abortion can be allowed.This includes women whose lives are endangered by pregnancy.

The legal definition of rape is any unwanted penetration of a person’s body. For the State Republican legislators of Virginia to deny women their Constitutional right to their own body and instead declare it legal to penetrate a woman’s body with a vaginal ultrasound, is nothing more than legalizing rape against women.

All this is unconstitutional and very humiliating and an unnecessary expense for young girls who are victims of rape and only subjects them to another rape as it does all women. It is totally degrading to women’s rights for the State to say it has the right to choose how women’s’ bodies and health will be treated. The Republican majority also passed the”right to work laws that breaks up the Unions so that factories and Corporations can lower wages to the workers, while increasing hours that workers must work.

While the Conservatives all yell,” about too much government,” it is too much of the bigoted Tea Party and Conservatives, who are responsible for our corroding rights, as American citizens, instead. While the Republicans stir up Religious rights being infringed on in Congress, they are only throwing up more smoke screens to deny the right of every woman to make the decision in their own health, in their Doctor’s office.

Government as does Unions,protects the rights of women,minorities, and workers, and that is why they make so many inaccurate statements and complaints about government interference and against Unions, while they themselves totally abuse our rights to choose,to determine our own health issues,lifestyle, earn an income, in a safe working environment, that will provide for our families and maintain our human dignity, because their real interests lies in doing away with both government and Unions that protect us.

Finally then I will close with this; If we do not educate ourself further on the sameness along with the differences between ourself and other ideas,races,political parties,and,religions,we will never truly know ourselves. When we refuse others the right to accept what they have an equal right to we refuse ourselves, as well as the next generations, their rights to earn dignity from a job well done.

Our Forefathers understood that morality could not be legislated. They understood as the rational members amongst us do, that none of the Churches much less mankind itself, would or could ever agree on what rules of morality would apply.

No two Churches in America have yet agreed 100% conclusively on what they determine to be moral. Even inside their own Church there are many extreme interpretations of morality that often lead to splinter groups or Churches breaking away to establish their own Church with their own definition of morality. When they do come close to agreeing they argue over how it should be handled and who will be in charge of determining the rules and administering the same. That argument, with a 70% majority of Tea Party and Conservative membership, has entered the Republican Party and renders them ineffective with agreeing on anything or more importantly, to represent “We the People”.

It is the Tea Party, Conservatives and bigots,once more trying to infringe on the rights of American citizens,while hiding behind Religious Rights, who would do away with the Equal rights Amendment along with decisions of the Supreme Court and our Constitution that protects us all.

European descent means nothing to how we live, it is how we think, feel,act towards others, and accept other people, who are different from ourselves, that says it all.Ignorance is always at the key root of bigotry and hate, and often followed by greed. Once we learn about others we learn more about ourselves. If we vote in ignorance then every member of our own family will pay for the mistake we make in November, generations after us.

Good luck in your studies, if you are ready to let go of the your own misconceptions. I hope so for your sake that you will take this advice that I offer. Usually I don’t offer advice to others but in this case I will make an exception as I want all my readers, along with our neighbors and fellow citizens, to know the pure joy of acceptance of the equal rights of every American citizen.

Under my own logo I totally discourage taking advice from others who are unfamiliar with our own feelings and circumstances so it is a true contradiction for me to offer it, otherwise. Orson Welles said it best when he said,”Giving good advice is utterly pointless as the wise do not need it and the stupid do not listen;” with that I wish you all a friendly week-end everyone. Don’t forget to hug someone or a pet.

UPDATE: Mitt Romney was the winner of the straw poll but only because his group bought votes. Just another prime example of politics at it’s worse.

The Conservative Need to Control

In Griswold vs. Connecticut the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the use of contraceptives could not be prohibited by any State and that is was a private matter protected by the clause in the 14th Amendment. The use of contraceptives is a personal decision granted to American citizens.

In Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court made it clear that abortion is a personal decision and a woman’s right and should be made between a woman and her Doctor.

The Conservative movement in America is screaming about Government being in the bedroom but in truth it is they who have filed case after case with Conservative judges to the point that the number of cases in the Court system are backlogged when it comes to their attempts to control sex and birth control in America. They are spending today and tomorrow at their annual meeting to firm up their decision to who can best control us as a Nation.

The Conservatives constant interference into the private rights of American citizens should be a concern to all of us, as it boils down to a bunch of white males or “Good Old Boys” and 33% of the American population, who have become so involved into denying the private rights of American citizens, to the point they have lost all touch with reality in most cases.

Their lack of respect for the Constitution and Supreme Court that grants the private rights of women and gays has made them totally disrespectful towards both. They are telling both women and gays that we do not have a right to enjoy the freedom granted us by law and under the Constitution of America. In their back rooms they practice bigotry and hate towards other nationalities and beliefs, in the most bigoted manner, while they deny that prejudice exist in America.

It is this hate in them along with their obsession over the sexual act itself that is destroying the Democracy that we all have a right to enjoy. All four candidates running on the Republican ticket are leaning so far right as to curry the favor of the Conservatives to the point they are making a mockery out of our Constitution and the Supreme Court that was given the clear power to grant us the rights of Freedom to choose for ourselves.

When a couple of Catholic Bishops complained that Religious rights had never been so stepped on by President OBama it was nothing more than the same old smoke screen thrown up every time that the Christian Churches in America become concerned that their right to control women is slipping.

Since 98% of sexually active Catholics use birth control and since the Church cannot force them to not use it, they are trying to force government to ban all contraception used by women, and in the process, deny all women their Constitutional right to their own health issues.

It is Religion interfering into government while President OBama is insisting that women’s healthcare needs are as important as men’s. In Griswold vs. Connecticut it is specifically spelled out that no State under the 14th amendment can deny women the coverage of insurance for contraception.

Since our forefathers clearly formed the Constitution making both separation of Church and State law as well as the decisions of the Supreme Court the last law of the land including over Religion, then it is religion that is transgressing over the law of separation of Church and State in their efforts to force government to abide by their teachings.

Pro choice is not pro abortion but instead the choice of women to determine their own health issues. The Churches promote the label of pro-choice being pro abortion when it is instead the right of women to ensure The Equal Rights Amendment that guarantees women the right to make decisions on their own bodies and health issues. It is not only abortion that the Churches are fighting against as it is the use of all contraception by women, through forcing the government to do what they cannot do in their own Churches, they are clearly trying to usurp the authority of our Constitution and Supreme Court decisions.

We experienced the same thing with labeling by the Conservative attacks against the liberals during the McGovern years. Since then the word Liberal or Progressive has been held in the same position and demonized as a product of Satan, amongst the Conservatives; To think that in the year 2012,anyone who wanted to advance the cause of women, gays and minorities would be branded as sinner and destructive towards Religious rights, blows the minds of most free thinking and rational people.

I have already reported 28 States have already made in mandatory that Religious Institutions provide contraception for women. The largest Catholic University in America. Depaul University, along with numberous other Catholic Hospitals and Universities have always provided for contraception.

In their efforts to defeat President OBama and swing the vote back to their candidate of choice, Rick Santorum, they threw  up a smoke screen to win and control the elections in the swing States and called out the Evangelicals to assist, and it worked for them. The truth is they do not like Mitt Romney as they think that the Mormon Religion is a cult and not a member of Christianity. Personally, I believe he is every bit as destructive to our right to be free as all the other candidates, as he too claims to do away with contraception. It is banned already in the Mormon Church.

If we have ever been raised Christian then we all know that we are born with an automatic defense system to protect the Church. That is because we are brain washed into believing from almost “day one” that the Church has always been under attack since the day of Christ. We take a Sacrament to protect the Church in some cases, so we become defensive anytime we hear anyone speak against it, even when others know what is being said is nothing more than the simple truth. they have come to rely on that when shoving their candidate of choice onto the American voters.

This is true in most other religions as well. Christianity survived because of the women after Christ death and Resurrection and it was the women of the Church who gave alms to the poor and established much of what would draw Pagans to the Christian Church. that has been lost in the teachings of too many, today.

The need to control women and gays has never been greater than what it is today, across America,by the Conservatives to the point it has reached the point of a sick obsession. Rick Santorum would convince all Americans that the 40% of Americans who are single or from single family homes, are all nothing but losers, and therefore not worthy of the Constitutional rights of the perfect family that consist of both Mom and Dad in a home where the couple are married.

When a candidate like Rick Santorum is their candidate of choice in the year 2012, we can begin to worry until we realize that worry is not necessary when we realize that we are rational and aware. If he is President he has said he will ban the use of all contraception because the libertine movement of women and the use of contraception is just plain wrong. How he plans on doing that with the Supreme Court being the last law of the land, he does not say.

Rick Santorum has also said that gay sex is not same person sex but man on dog sex. He like Michelle Bachman, another Tea Party favorite, would point missiles towards Iran without the use of sanctions or diplomacy. He claims that President OBama is protecting Iran to attack Israel. Clearly this man does not plan to lead by putting the Equality of Americans, truth, or common sense, above his own bigoted views of hate. We are looking at a very disturbed mind indeed, and the people who would vote for such a person are equally disturbed, in my estimation.

Although the polls show that these same 33% of women oppose the use of contraception the other 58% of women believe it to be our own personal right, since it is, and has been established in the Supreme Court. The great majority of us would like to think that if we were being denied our rights of equality we would make certain that the person trying to deny us the same would not be the person we would elect to office of the President.

This seems to go right over the head of some women when they are told to vote their conscience. Unless we have been brainwashed ourself, we cannot possibly understand why women do constantly vote against their own best interests and for inequality, without being made to feel guilty when they do get the courage to do the right thing for all Americans, and demand their own God-given as well as State given right to free will and equality.

It flys into the face of all of us who use our brains to rationalize, that Trump would promote the Birther Belief that these 33% of our population still cling to, when they firmly believe that President Barack OBama is a Muslim and not a citizen of the United States. That is until we realize that Trump is the Master of Paper Capitalism, that got our economy into the mess it is in. Without backing the Birther belief, he stands to lose the Republican support of getting banks to loan him money without collateral or assets to back it. This 33% are being held hostage by the greedy in the Conservative Party, from this brainwashing, to the point that they are trying to remove President OBama’s name from their election ballots in Georgia.

The Republican Party, is being controlled by the Conservatives and Tea Party, and are doing their best to destroy the Democracy that has always made us Great. They believe that their own personal need to control humanity is more recognizable and entitled, than the right granted each of us under the Constitution and the Supreme court.They will not be stopped until they appoint their own judges that will deny all minorities, gays and women equality in America, while promoting their causes.

The Conservative Party, joined by the Tea Party, within the Republican Party in America today,is nothing more than a bunch of Rednecks and Bullies in Suits, who plan to keep their woman in place. The Republicans are arrogant enough to think they, not the working poor or the middle class, have the right to keep us subjugated to them, through lowering our standards of living and denying us both the Unions that protect our wages and working conditions, while they eliminate the Government Departments that protect our rights and offer us jobs.

The Conservatives can be likened to a bunch of people who go out and eat an expensive meal which they may pay $300.00 a person for, and then come home and try to deny the baby sitter the $10.00 that she has earned by giving her $6.50 instead. They feel that they are the entitled amongst us and therefore they have a right to deny the rest of us our just due.

They have taken their religious convictions into the political arena to the point their real and only political zeal in to deny the rest of us both our God-given rights as well as our State given rights. When we are told it is a matter of conscience, what they really mean, it is a matter of conscience as long as we agree with their interpretation of the same. When we don’t, they will do everything in their power to pass laws and to block us from the equality that is our right to own.

Since the Conservative base only makes up a third of our Nation,but they have to throw up more smoke screens to upset us as a Nation and use their politicians, such as Boehner to yell louder about the injustices of President Obama against Religious rights, while they block legislation to improve the lives of small businesses, the working poor, and the middle class. The Republican Party itself has grown to 70% of Conservatives, in the last 10 years and that explains the ruination of the Republican Party to get any agreement on anything.

All this hate is to convince Americans the Conservatives and Tea Party base, are the moral majority with the right to control the lives of the rest of us. Sadly, they instead are promoting hate through their sick obsession to control the human race on their terms, and by denying all of us both our God given as well as our State given rights to free will and the pursuit of happiness, while calling President OBama dangerous.

It is time we stop all the upset and drama being created by the Conservatives and Tea Party, so we can get back to solving the problems that our wounded Nation needs us to do, by electing those Democrats who will work for us, and with our President that we elect. Make sure before you do that you check their voting record out, as 20% of the Democratic Party are Conservative, as well as, a few lean so left that they create stunned growth as well.

We Americans always have been and always will be the strongest, without these Redneck Bullies trying to control our lives and destroying our freedoms. We need to eliminate their little band of thugs, at the election polls in November.

Evangelicals Choose Rick Santorum

My first reaction was,”You got to be kidding me?” How could the group who says stopping abortion, was their biggest concern in the political polls in 2012, get behind Rick Santorum? I thought they were pro-life and chickenhawks are anything but pro-life.(a chickenhawk is someone who will not go to war themselves, but will send other parents kids to war, on the drop of a dime)

Then I started laughing and found it difficult to stop. You know one of those uncomfortable laughs, we all do when we do not know if we should laugh or cry. If we are drinking anything it will come out of our nose or if we are eating anything, we will spit it across the room types of laughs, because, initially, this is just another one of those things that make no sense at all.

These people have not done anything but give OBama hell for not being a friend to Israel. Now they are going to choose the candidate that will blow them off the map?

Of course the reason I wanted to cry is because he announced in Iowa, if he became president, he would start pointing missiles towards Iran. To be fair, If it’s any comfort,(I say satirically),Mitt Romney has indicated the same but in less graphic detail. Neither of these men knows anything about war because they have never served, nor have or will their children ever serve. To think either could begin World War 3, with just a push of a finger, is a frightening scenario.

The fact that Rick Santorum is a bigot, the likelihood that he would use diplomacy with any Arabs is pretty much out of the question as well, I think we could count on that.

The fact that Santorum, is being sponsored by the Tea Party who are anti-Jews, make them strange bedfellows with the Evangelicals, unless someone is lying.

We can’t be so lucky to think he read a book on World War 2, or possibly watched a History station episode on the War, that would educate him or other chickenhawk Republicans, who promote Bible first over the decimation of what hate does, so he thinks he can be Commander In Chief of the entire military?

Sadly,then it becomes way too clear and starts making perfectly good sense from the view-point of the right-wing, Tea Party, and conservatives, as well as the Evangelicals, he is the worse kind of chickenhawk, as he is a Patriot Biblical War Monger.(WARNING:check out The American Patriot War monger’s Bible if you have the stomach for it, on Google. It is being added to the Tea Party as well as the Evangelical extremists beliefs)

It does not get any worse than that, unless Santorum is being advised by the ghost of Hermann Goering. I’m sorry but anyone who votes Republican in 2012, are Clueless!

Yes that is a judgement call,on my part because I,like you, value the middle class workers, our diversity,my life and the lives of my loved ones, and Democracy.

I have explained it to you, how the Republican Party is doing a pretty good job of destroying it all,for the 99%, fairly clearly,at this point in my earlier posts on this page and the next couple of pages. How many of us think a pro-life person would not value all life?

Is anyone, other than myself, concerned that this chickenhawk, really believes in protecting life or is it just another man who flexes his muscles to make certain that women cannot make a decision on their own and with their own body, unless a man gives them permission?

He also voted against, seeking out and discriminating against, and threatening the lives of gay people,as being a Hate Crime.

Nice man, this one, the kind we would not want for our neighbor, if we are not a bigot or part of humanity, that’s for sure. I ask you,who read my posts, to help me to educate your friends on what has happened in the Republican Party, for the last decade,plus a couple of years. It is especially important that together, we reach those who do not vote,as well as, those who do vote, while claiming to have little to no interests in politics. Good luck, as I know getting anyone who votes Party lines only, are very difficult to deal with, when it comes to listening.

There was a reason Santorum could not win re-election in Pennsylvania, folks. He is the worse kind of extremists and has won favor with the Tea Party. He took just too many lobbyist gifts, and is a bigot of the worse kind, because he only expressed it when he was in a white crowd, such as Iowa, and then denied he ever said it on CNN.

This man’s mind works no different from a child’s, who gets caught with their hand in a cookie jar or played with GI Joe when they were a child.Except he is no longer a child and much more dangerous.

While he was denying his racist remark about stopping, “blacks from taking welfare and making them earn their pay,” it was playing on every other cable news show and network except, Fox News, all over America.

Obviously,lying, and the fact that he would blow us into another World, are not reasons of concern to the Evangelicals. If this is pro-life then I am even more glad that I am pro-choice. Have a good Sunday morning everyone.

Thank God, the right-wing conservatives, Tea Party and Evangelicals have been exposed and are losing their clout. I can’t see our military, that has fought for Democracy, since the invention of American Independence, ever becoming Patriot Biblical war mongers, and It will be a few more years before the Evangelicals can ban Science and Public Education while deleting Evolution from our children’s text books—WHEW! With OBama, we still have a lot to be grateful for this Sunday morning!

Warning: If you are using an outside search engine, make certain that before you click onto any site that has catsnjammer64, and the post written by me, called,”Rick Santorum’s Voting Record”, that it has the wordpress site attached. Sadly those who do not want his record exposed have added a porn site that is filled with viruses to it.The best bet is to find it written to the side of this post on my blog under Dec. 31,2011 or simply type the title in capitals as shown, into the search that is listed on the side panel, of this blog.

It Is The Middle Class, Stupid!

By now, I am guessing anyone who will vote in America is tired of the news coverage on politics and eager instead to hear what the Republican Party really is willing to offer what use to be the middle class.

When the Republicans aren’t attacking each other they seem to scream interference with free enterprise and taking regulations off of corporations and drilling for oil and natural gas.

They like to pretend that fiscal capitalism is the same as straight capitalism where people are actually given jobs, that will last longer than a couple of years. Instead they operate from corporate welfare, where they move in and get all the government subsidies along with free land and warehouses they can to set up jobs and the minute they get all the public funding they can, they are gone. This is what contributed to Mitt Romneys 190 million dollars and gave him a 9.3 million dollar beach house, while the middle class paid for it and got laid off in the process.

Do not blame Mitt Romney alone folks, as this practice has gone on for years. Paper capitalism does not offer jobs and the Republicans along with Wall Street and the banks have become experts at it. Donald Trump and his bankers could put most to shame with paper capitalism. It is not something that Newt Gingrich is a stranger to either. Nor were the Democrats, Barnie Frank or Chris Dodd, in their dealings with Freddie Mack and Annie Mae.

Other than Barack OBama and the Democrats,who it is our business to know who they are in our own State Senate race by checking their voting records, who are fighting for the middle class, we the voters need to ask ourselves if there are any Republicans even aware that the middle class is impoverished? If we are going to allow hate,ignorance,or lies to influence our vote, then we are no different from what they are, if we wake up and find that nothing has changed. I repeat:”If we are not a part of the solution, then we are a part of the problem.”

Do the Republicans know and understand that it is the middle class who are living on food stamps? Will they ever address the reasons why they continue to fight against extending the middle class tax cuts for a year while they the tea party sponsored members fight on farm dust? Will they explain that they will fight until”hell freezes over” to not remove the Bush tax cuts on the 1% or the 40% of the population, who are not paying their fair share in order to balance the budget, but at the same time demand that tax cuts for the middle class has to be paid for?

Will they explain why they can not raise the tax cuts on those paying nothing in taxes, like Mitt Romney, so they can pay for Obama’s jobs bill for the middle class, instead of dismissing it and agreeing instead their only goal, as spoken by Mitch McConnell (minority house leader) is to defeat Obama, by just saying”NO”? Thats right, folks, even though Mitt Romney has blamed the OBama Administration and his Department, and gets a good laugh about there being dust in the Desert, it was the Tea Party freshmen in Dec. who were elected in 2010, in their own party, who held up extending the tax cuts to the middle class in Dec over farm dust. I wrote a post on it when it was happening in December.

OBama or the Democrats had nothing to do with it, but instead it was just another of Mitt’s lies. Every time he opens his own mouth, he gives Democrats more to use against him so don’t be too hard on Newt for pointing out his lies, as there are vaults full to use without Newt’s help.

I don’t disagree with the fact that Newt is angry and getting back at Mitt,even though Newt’s lies are just as large as Mitt’s, but so much of what is being written for Mitt is nothing but lies. He attacks the idea that people are fighting against free enterprise but apparently he is so isolated or his writers are, that he has no idea of what is even happening in America.

It is not that anyone is against free enterprise that hires workers at fair wages, but instead that Capitalism has either laid off the workers or is not hiring them. All of us who are not involved in our own self-righteous endeavors, need to tell all of the say “NO” Republicans and those running that,”It is about the middle class in poverty, Stupid!”

The candidates all running are no different from those in Congress. They are all exposing the truth about each other, and their nastiness is no different from what the current Republicans in the Congress are doing. None of them can get along with each other there either, or anyone for that matter,but that doesn’t stop them from blaming OBama for being a poor leader that cannot lead the bunch. Hell they can’t even lead their own Party. What more is it going to take before the middle class votes them out?

It appears that the entire Republican Party and those who support them have missed out on the facts of what is important to all other voters and that is, it is not the African-Americans in the inter-cities who are increasing food stamps, it is the previous owners of the Moms and Pops, the families who owned construction companies, previous owners of trucking companies, family owned stores and shops, middle class workers, who are on food stamps, and what the Republicans plan on doing about it, that we care about.

None of them are addressing the fact that the middle class Americans are on food stamps and in poverty, or that they have lost their homes, and in some cases their cars, and if they still have their cars they are not able to afford the gas to drive them. When they do address it they blame OBama for the fact that he won’t allow drilling or raise restrictions on corporations.

Give us a break! The gas prices are up because of what happened in the gulf and the costs that BP had to pay for their failure to better supervise their wells. While they give the appearance of paying millions for the accident, we,the American people are paying for it in our gas tanks. Also what is going on in Iran is raising it. None of us are so stupid that we do not know that when vacation time comes around every year even during Republican administrations, gas prices always go up and it is not OBama’s fault as much as the protection they get from the Republican Party that allows it to happen. We all know how the Republicans fight anyone who would change it. That does not stop Mitt Romney in his arrogance, from blaming OBama.

Instead of dealing with the middle class impoverishment, the Republicans are talking about the Democrats and OBama restricting drilling, forcing regulations on corporations and interfering with free enterprise. We all get it. Republicans represent Capitalism. No one is interfering with it but we all understand that when the banks were allowed to get too big and they failed, and when all the regulations were lifted slowly beginning in 1993 on the corporations and then more aggressively during the Bush years, due to their run away greed, we ended up in the mess we are in. None of us need or want to go back to that, do the Republicans even understand that?

America and Americans cannot go back to that ever again, and certainly not when the middle class Americans are fighting poverty while your Tea Party members in the States and Washington are holding up the middle class tax breaks along with shutting down Unions,with the Republican Party support.

Certainly you must know that the middle class is aware of the facts that both government and unions protect the middle class jobs from free enterprise’s greed when they refuse to pay a living wage for a good days work, in the States.
