The Irrational NRA Leadership

When Wayne LaPierre, Vice President of the NRA held his press conference today, and got up to speak I got so sick to my stomach of his propaganda that I hate to write this post drawing attention to his speech.  If I don’t talk about it and point out just how severely insensitive the man was then, I like to many others will let that type of mentality pass off to those who do not know the heart of the American citizen, think his brand of callousness lies in the hearts of the majority of Americans.  As expected he blamed everyone but the NRA. Politicians politicizing it, demonic behavior, gun free school zones as an advertisement for the disturbed,video games, the lack of guards in our schools, the entertainment industry and the media.

If anyone read my post yesterday entitled,”Why Do We Lead The World In Suicide’ then you know I pointed out the cultural differences that we all must share in and the responsibility we all must take to keep our children safe.  We do not need guns in schools because they offer a false sense of security to those who carry a gun.  They also offer a challenge to those like Timothy McVeigh who went to a bomb where armed guards were, instead.

The facts are that the majority of us who own a gun will not and cannot shoot to kill another human being and we will either freeze up when called on to do so or we will shoot wildly into a crowd and kill more innocent people. Even policemen, who are trained to use a gun, know to shoot their guns is the last possible choice they have to make,since we have an established record of collateral damage and more lives lost as a result of having to use a gun in a crowd, throughout our History. Armed guards in banks and air ports know not to shoot where people are gathering.  The guards only end up being another victim when a person enters the space or establishment and far more guards are killed in businesses,Court Houses, or banks than are armed robbers, because they do not want to harm the innocent around them.

I don’t know what kind of sick home Wayne LaPierre grew up in or raised his children in but his statement that,” today’s children will see 16,000 murder scenes by the time they reach the ripe old age of 18,” is so totally inaccurate that if it wasn’t such a serious subject it would be laughable.  Movies of sexual or violent content are rated in America and children who do not have an ID of proof of age cannot get into a PG13 or R rated movie.  I know that to be a fact, even when they are accompanied by an adult.

I don’t doubt there are irresponsible parents who could care less about the movies their children watch at home but to declare them as the norm is totally adding salt to the wound of parents who do not allow their children to watch these movies or play these games.  Many homes have controls on their computers and televisions that will not allow the viewing of these shows and television warns adults when something is not appropriate or wrong for children to watch as well.  Even our news programs will place a warning prior to showing it.

Facts number two are that the very same movies named and the very same video games that Wayne LaPierre named play in Countries like Britain and Japan and are the very same video games played in both Countries. A ten-year study shows that they do not influence children to kill but violence in a home acted out by parents can and does. The Industrial or Civilized Nations have as much porn and as many people who prostitute.  They work to buy and over spend as well.  All the same things we have in our culture they have as well.

Britain and Japan are as civilized and advanced as we are and have the same kind of Democracies as we do. Britain’s Military is as strong as our own. The prices and costs in Japan are extravagant along side of what we pay for the same. The raining London skies and the Cramped Tokyo Apts. lead to as much depression and thoughts of suicide in these Countries as much as they do in our own but they do not stigmatize mental illness the way we do. They have free treatment facilities where anyone who is suffering from mental illness or delusional thinking can get help free, at any hour.

What separates all other advanced or civilized Countries from the United States is they do not have a powerful lobbyist that has brain washed gun enthusiasts into believing that the right to own a gun is a higher right than the right for people to be able to live.  When murder happens they do not have a Wayne Lapierre blaming everyone and everything else but themselves for the murders in their Country because they have gun laws that lessen those deaths.  Britain averages 600 murders per year in total and Japan has practically none while the United States has 18,000 suicides or 32,000 murders per year.

The facts are that no other civilized Nation tolerates the mentality that the NRA has and the irrational thinking that they hold nor do they use the lies or the scare tactics and the despicable words the NRA uses to blame everyone but themselves. The National Rifle Association leadership, needs to convince gun enthusiasts that everyone else is wrong and they are right otherwise they may lose their own power through lost of membership dues.

They are amongst the most powerful lobbyists in the Nation and no conservative politician from either the Democrat or the Republican Party can get elected without the support of the NRA.  Other Countries refuse to fight murder and suicide by using guns to protect against guns because they are rational enough to understand that people cannot kill unless they have months of training or are disturbed enough to commit suicide/murder. These certified programs that Texas and Utah like to talk about are three-days of watching videos and training at a gun range while shooting at a target in order to get a certificate to carry a gun in school.

To give teachers and school workers,  in places like Utah and Texas a certificate of completion of  a gun training course does not qualify them for training that allows another human being to fire under threat of gun fire or to kill another human being while looking into the eyes of someone who is just a kid themselves. How much more desensitizing of our behavior towards the power of the gun over the value of life are we going to tolerate in teaching our children, as a Nation, before we yell enough! Do we really want our youngest and most innocent strapped with the knowledge or fear that their teacher or the nice man with a gun or themselves can be killed at any given moment?

Teachers are trained to keep our children safe and we want their thoughts to go first towards protecting our children, over running in fear or stopping to kill. Teachers who care are not trained to kill the next young man who walks into the building armed to shoot. Many times they are students or past students of theirs and they are not going to be able to shoot to kill.  It is irrational thinking on our part to think they can and equally as unfair as to think they should. We may think if it is our lives or the lives of a child we all can shoot to kill but it is pure and literal nonsense. Firing a gun is not like going out to the paint ball course and shooting paint balls at each other. The fear or the need to survive under pressure of assault in the untrained, takes over control of all rational thoughts that we have when our lives are not under threat of danger. We freeze,run, or if we shoot we shoot wildly injuring far more others than lives we save.  Firing at a target is not the same as looking a human being in the eyes and firing.

It takes a well trained or a disturbed mind to do so and even then that trauma follows those who are trained perfectly, the rest of their lives.  Ask any military personnel or policemen how devastating the effects are of taking another life in defense of the Country, is on their lives, even when it is done for a higher honor.  I have lived with the results of those who fought in wars and too many times they are haunted by it forever. Many come home and turn to alcohol just to live past the nightmares that enter their sleeping hours or become workaholics in an effort to forget.  Their marriages and their lives quite often fall apart.

The mistake the media made was to allow that kind of propaganda that is spread across America by the NRA and some of its followers to even be broadcasted. As soon as they knew they had been had by the National Rifle Association they should have shut them off just as they do when a politician says something that is not of their political persuasion.  When this propaganda is spread it only leads to desensitize the minds of those who are already desensitized to the point that it starts making perfectly good sense to them.

No person who hunts wild game, even after hours of target practice, will escape what is known as buck fever. It takes practice to be able to shoot game animals before becoming an accurate enough shot to make the bullet connect with the game animal being shot. Even seasoned bird hunters will experience buck fever when switching to larger game animals.  Buck fever is the name commonly given to the hunter who will both sub-consciously and automatically pull up on their gun when shooting rather than to kill the animal.

It is not an automatic reaction in clear thinking humans to kill with a gun on instinct and it requires months to train people to kill out of a necessity or a higher pursuit of justice. Both the Police Academies and Military training requires men and women shooting blanks or live rounds above the heads of those in the fields to acclimate them to the reality of being able to fire at a human being every bit as much as it takes hours to train humans to remain calm, in order to kill out of necessity in war or when under attack. These are not normal traits that we adapt to on a first reaction under attack.

The guns Mr. NRA said the media is lying about and the politicians are trying to find fame in and that are being politicized hold magazines that leads to massive deaths.  Does it really matter if they are military or assault weapons when they fire in rapid succession?  Don’t they kill just as quickly and destroy the lives of our innocent just as well. They certainly cannot be used for hunting anymore than the ammunition they protect can be used to hunt when its only purpose is to pierce the vests of policemen and police women who are killed in the act of duty by the same.

I have acknowledged that it is our culture and the love of the gun  that needs to share responsiblity with the NRA for gun deaths in America but it does not hold a candle to the deaths that are caused by people arming themselves with a false bravado of thinking they will be able to shoot to kill.   Nothing inspires the fantasy  or gives forth the power to kill more than those who are too meek to murder or encourages those who are disturbed enough to murder faster, than the thrust of a gun. The gun feeds those fantasies in the minds of the disturbed faster than anything else that they can do.

Those who will cause murder have no conscious and we cannot try to rationalize  our minds with theirs. I repeat, people who are armed are killed  far more often by the perpetrators than what the perpetrators are killed. They always have the element of surprise over us and a great many of them do not have the same fear of death because many of them are seeking out suicide by cop.

Guns in the hands of those who are not thinking realistically only offers us a false sense of security that is quickly over taken by the perpetrators. Those who are disturbed do not hear the noises and sounds we hear as many are disturbed or can only hear the voices in their own heads.  They do not even hear the screams around them that make us run out of fear but as soon as we think we can pull a gun and shoot we will be dead with or without our three-day certificate that gives us a license to carry a gun. It is a fact!

I am sick of the hate and the fear tactics of the NRA and if you viewed the same that I did and could not see that expressed yourselves, I can only respond that Americans are much more sicker than I thought.  The NRA fear and propaganda tactics are not only false but they are irrational and have no place in the power that runs America. It sickens me that such trash talk was allowed to be spoken on our media services at a time we are already sicken by the deaths of our innocent, by guns.

Instead of talking about banning ammunition and magazines that only serves to kill humans along with high powerful and assault weapons, Wayne Lapiere and the NRA paid for monkeys successfully changed the subject to arming personnel in our schools where our children would be subjected to even more violence.  Anyone who thinks the bullies or gangs who hang out in some of our schools across America would not find a gun a worthy challenge to be taken, are not being realistic about what really does go on when the disturbed are made to feel powerful behind a gun.

What can I say other than may the Season offer some design of light into the hearts and minds of all of us and may we be infused by the Holy Spirit and Guardian that guides us towards common sense and intelligence to know the difference.  May God help us all in letting the goodness in all of us shine through the insanity of it all. God Bless us and God Bless America.

Do The Tea Party & Evangelicals Speak For Us?

If the Tea Party and Evangelicals speak for the majority of Americans in this election year then we can all be certain that we will hear neither the truth or anything based on reality.  The combination of both along with the Conservative media is destroying Democracy as we know it and understand it and yet even the mainstream media is giving more time to their views over that of the views of the majority held views, as Romney slips in the polls. It was said first by Thomas Jefferson:”When we force our Religion on to others then we run the risk of them forcing their’s on us.”

In fairness to the Evangelicals I do believe they are being used as lambs to the slaughter by the Carl Rove groups, the Tea Party, and Grover Norquist  as well as the conservative media to the point they will be the first to fall or be discarded if these groups do get what they want this election year.  When we are brainwashed with lies then we all begin to believe these lies; when we are fed with hate then we all begin to hate;when we are armed with weapons we become violent and the scenario continues throughout our lives.

With the introduction in the 17 States of “Stand Your ground laws”,with 1000 bills passed by the Tea Party led governors against women’s rights to their own procreation and health,with the lies spread that President OBama is not a citizen or a Christian,With the introduction of the “right to work laws” that strip away our protection from the Unions, with even the lunatic fringe calling for treason against President OBama and the list of lies continuing we the majority will not and cannot sit back and just assume that this election will be won on truth and common sense.

These groups were infiltrated in Church camps as young people and even in some of the more severe training camps they bragged about using the same techniques that were used by Ben Laden.  This is a severely brainwashed group of people in some cases that truly believe they are Christ’s soldiers and speaking for God. When they lie for the most part they have no reality of the fact that they are lying since they believe what they are told and hear by the limited views that they live.  Even when they lie they have no real contact with the morality of what they are doing as they believe that the more lies told is the way they win elections.The empathy that we feel for our fellow man is missing in many of these Tea Party members who believe they are the superior race and have a right to wrestle it back from those they felt stole it from them.  When we consider that they are being armed and fed this bunk from everyone from the NRA to every white Supremest group along with the Tea Party and the Carl Rove groups then we understand why common sense and truth will not win this election.

They deliberately concentrate on the strengths of President OBama and then attack it with lies.  President OBama and  his wife Michelle have done more for the Veterans than any other President since Roosevelt, and are only second to him in their efforts to help the military vets.  These groups therefore spread lies about how OBama is attacking the veterans and threatening their benefits in his effort to trim spending in the defense budget.  The truth is of course that President OBama has raised the benefits along with lowered taxes on their housing and are giving companies tax breaks to hire vets.  The only place President OBama is cutting back on spending on the defense budget is eliminating obsolete technology and equipment.

Another example of their campaign of lies has been to attack President OBama who has done more for the Jews than any other President in recent history by saying he is deserting the Jewish population. This is the old Carl Rove and Grover Norquist tactics that worked for them to defeat Senator Lugar of Tennessee because he dared to break the filibustering that the Republicans began on the first day of President OBama taking office.  These same tactics won the election for George W. Bush when they attacked the heroism of John Kerry to cover the fact that George W. Bush hid out in order to avoid going to Viet Nam while John Kerry volunteered for one of the most risky positions in the war.

Because their lies are so effective with these groups who have been brainwashed into believing their hate propaganda against President OBama they can literally guarantee these voters to their candidate of choice.  They only need to credit themselves with the strength of President OBama through lies as we see Mitt Romney doing with the automobile industry and the mainstream media along with 420 conservative outlets running the same lies,and they can guarantee the votes of the people brainwashed into believing the lies.

Any time we the majority,the working poor and the middle class become comfortable in thinking we will not need to vote because people know the truth and will vote with their common sense we will be the losers this election year.  It has never been more important for us to stop this infiltration of lies and the promotion of the lie that Mitt Romney will give us jobs as they only keep talking about jobs while doing nothing to pass bills that will give us jobs.  We can all bet that if the Republicans or Mitt Romney had a jobs bill that would guarantee the working poor or the middle class jobs that President OBama would have signed it into law.  It is just like their health care that denies health to the working poor and middle class while promoting welfare for Corporations when they do try something like the Ryan Plan.

“We the People” need to know and understand that neither the Evangelicals or the Tea Party speaks for us and vote for our jobs and our President who is working to save them along with our rights in November.  Vote for Barack OBama and a Congress that will work with him in November.

All Wind, No Action

Can any of us possibly imagine how difficult of a job we would have if we were Barack OBama? Just imagine trying to move ahead or walk at all, with a two ton ball and chain of Congress strapped to our ankles, while they yell, “,”No,” No” No,” every time we tried to free the middle class from the inequity that exists under the Bush tax breaks.

Could any of us do it for four years and come back for 4 more? Especially when they yell victim, while they do nothing for being paid $850,000.00 a year, and paying 14% or less, in taxes, by the government they want to eliminate? Those of us who still do have jobs are averaging 30% plus, if we make more than $70.000.00 or less. Clearly they have made the Bush tax cuts about them, instead of about we who elect them to office.

The reason we hear so much noise but no solutions in the Republican party, is because they have nothing to give. Most if not all of the trillions dollars of debt accumulation, is a direct result of the Bush tax cuts, that they refuse to raise on the 1%. Instead they accuse the workers and Barack OBama who has tried to help us keep food on the table as being welfare whores who expect the wealthy to feed us when it is such an insult as well as a lie.

Think about it, The Republicans have a one term candidate from Pennsylvania, another one term candidate from Massachusetts, and a one term House Speaker, that the voters did not want back and their own party did not want back as speaker, or would support, and they think they can fool the rest of us,into wanting them back? The only thing holding any of them in the race is their Super Pacs that are paid for by the Mormon church or Billionaires, and they call the working poor and middle class food stamp whores?

If we listen carefully, we will hear them say the economy is worse today than it was five years ago. Of course, we know they have to say five years ago because four years ago, the Republicans were responsible for laying off 8 million factory workers, and to date OBama through the improvement of the car industry, has been only able to hire 2 million of them back, because of the refusal of the Republicans to stop or release the tax breaks given to Corporations who build over-seas.

The other 6 million jobs went over seas to both China and India who they can hire at slave labor rates. They like to brag about how some lowly Chinese woman, was able to feed her children because American Business moved over there, after closing down the mines in Minnesota, and gave her a job at a dollar an hour so she could feed her children.

The same way that the oil companies like to advertise temporary jobs to build pipelines and to drill natural gas to ship to both China and Japan while exaggerating the numbers they will hire while the jobs will only last until the job is done and is some cases that is only for months or weeks, where others might last a year. Certainly nothing the middle class can count on as far as making mortage payments or moving their families with them.

While giving a Chinese worker a job at a dollar an hour, might win an argument with those who feed into that kind of stuff, and might even be admirable if it was being done by one of the Christian groups, it does not hold water, when politicians are elected to put Americans to work.

When the truth is instead: Corporations are closing down American jobs while the Republicans are giving American Corporations tax breaks to promote slave wages in foreign countries,or the oil companies are depleting our own natural resources by charging Japan and China for the natural gas rights with British Petroleum owning the oil rights, in the Gulf, while the Republicans are professing to make America, energy independent.

Do we really think the conservatives know anything other than how to deny rights to Americans, when they promote family values? It seems to be their driving force to press their own Christians views on the many Americans who are the majority, and believe instead that, “We are all created equal,” over choosing who are and are not in their eyes.”

The other day one of the 99% stopped Mitt Romney and asked him what was in his tax forms that he was hiding, and Mitt Romney yelled back at him.” that he should quit dividing up America, and it was people like him that brought disgrace by dividing Americans and he should be ashamed.”

First of all we either need to send Mitt to math classes or perhaps politics 101? 99% is the majority Mitt. To accuse them of dividing the Country when they are the 99%, who do all of the dirty work for the 1% and the odds of finding any better odds of uniting anyone, including even the Republican Party, at a 99%, simply does not exist.

The real truth is that the 1% have never been confronted because the 99% were worried about losing their jobs. Guess what Mitt? They have no jobs because of the refusal to hire by the 1%. The 1% no longer are special or hold special privilege or loyalty, to the 99% any longer, because all they are getting is, “All wind, and no action.”

It is no accident that George “Dubya” Bush is in hiding and not a single Republican candidate has him out campaigning for them. Not one of them want him to remind, their possible voters,they are just more Bush Republicans who refuse to tell the truth.

As a matter of fact, those few honest news outlets left are being called liberal when they do tell the truth. What an honor that truth, at long last, has been given its rightful place of honor, where it has long deserved to live and that is in the camp of the liberal.

The only plans the Republicans do have is to return to the politics they started during the Bush years. That is why we are hearing so many lies being told by this group of candidates with their checkered pasts. They are so busy hiding or covering up the truth on themselves, that they have to lie in order to survive their own primaries.

Anyone who thinks that any of them will raise the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy, in order to stop the bleed of trillions of dollars out of our Treasury, so we can actually start paying down the deficit, simply are not facing reality.

If any of them think they will offer full-time,long-lasting jobs with good benefits and retirement pensions, once they are elected then all I can say is, “denial will not make it true.”

When the Republicans, cannot talk about accomplishments, and if we listen carefully, not a one of them can without fudging on the truth, then all we can plan for in our futures, if any of them win the general election is just, “more wind, and no actions,” taken to save the middle class and the working poor. Re-elect Barack OBama in November.

Social Security For Future Generations

The Ryan Plan,that all Republicans have signed on to 100%, like most of what I write about, will not affect my husband and I, but I have real concern about it when it comes to my children and grandchildren. I have no doubt that they waited to apply it to, the 50 and under crowd, because they were afraid of the great power that the AARP is able to influence and knew it would be defeated if they even tried to deal with them.

It is only an introductory way to eliminate Social Security in Government and turn over Social Security Insurance to the private sector. Since Social Security Insurance is 6 times larger than all the other insurance companies combined, the private sector has been salivating over take over for years, and to gain more of the profits for themselves.

To think that the average cost of health care per senior is between $7000 to $16,000.00 per year,now, and despite what we Americans have been told, the government does a pretty good job of keeping the cost down.They can buy health care in a much larger block than what individual private insurance companies can or ever will be able to, and in doing so, it keeps the cost down that the public has to pay. The Ryan Plan would cap all people in 2022 to $8000 a year with the cost of healthcare going up at a growing rate every year, certainly the senior citizens, will not be cared for at this rate.

If the people find that they do not have enough coverage then, they will be able to buy the difference from private Insurance companies. Of course, when many senior citizens are unable to buy, then the private insurance companies will end up with government subsidizing the difference. Surprise! surprise! The private sector, grows rich as a result of Corporate welfare provided by the government and paid for by the public.

There are no bigger welfare whores,than the 1%, who feel more entitled to all the welfare that government can give them, than any other of the population in America. By the people thinking they can invest their own money into social security by investing into the stock market, they will be guaranteed to be victims of the private sector and the private Insurance Companies will be the winners.

Unless we are a member of the wealthy class or work at Wall Street, we will not get the “insiders’ trading tips.” (although they are illegal, everyone does it and then denies it happens). Playing the stock market and investing our retirement futures in Wall Street, for the, “regular Joes” is no different from betting our future on slot machines or roulette wheels.

As any of us know, when a chain store of any size moves into our communities, they usually charge decreased prices in order to get us into the store, and then they gradually raise the prices once they get us in the habit of shopping there. This is also true of any and all insurance companies.

It may sound like a good deal, the first couple of years, but then when it does eventually take control and push government out, it is the American public who has to pay the price in both premium jumps, as well as, the huge jump in exchange for Corporate welfare. When the insurance companies are paid the difference between what the public can pay and what the private insurance companies are charging, then the public pays again when government makes up the difference for the corporate welfare whores.

The other concern is that employees would not need to choose the plan at their work place that Unions will guarantee but the Republicans are trying to eliminate the unions and instead employees could opt out and choose their own. This sounds all well and good until we understand that slowly and surely that all guaranteed coverage would be drained away until employees would find their coverage worthless.

The Republicans fight against all and any regulations on the greed of the private sector from pollution to price controls, and as long as the private sector or Capitalism is not under the control of government, our children and grandchildren are all looking at exorbitant costs either at the market place or at the tax levels. Either way it ends up with them, “Owing their souls to the Company Store,” or the 1%”.

While Newt Gingrich campaigns and says, “OBama is being a Saul Alinsky,” who OBama would have been 10 years of age when he died, what Newt is really saying is that the Republicans under his Presidency, will continue as usual, until every penny they can drain is drained of the middle class today.(Saul Alinsky was all about the reverse in that the have-nots be supported by the haves).Newt, of course, made his 100 million off of government taxpayers and as a lobbyist to Congress but of course, according to him, he is a Federalist, Christian, and a defender of the Constitution. Anyone who believes that would sit in a crowd and “boo”, if the media asked Newt about his character.

The main reason that Newt finds it necessary to demean Barack OBama all the time with lies, is he has little to no understanding, about the fact that the majority of the middle class go on food stamps temporally. When Republican Bob Dole initiated the food stamp program to help farm subsidies, which were at an all time low, Newt was irate over it. Newt wouldn’t know what the Constitution does say as was proven by his ethics violations.

He still holds a grudge against food stamps, all these years later. That is typical Newt Gingrich behavior, as well as, demeaning everyone that disagrees with him. He is the same mean and angry Newt he has always been, while his conservative followers, have forgiven him and say because he is a grandfather and he has sought forgiveness, he is a different man. The man is proving in his campaign that he still needs extensive psychological help. He is still the erratic canon he has always been.

The last thing that the working poor and the middle class want to do, is be in the position where they do have to go on food stamps. All they are asking for is that the 1% pay their fair share, and give them a full-time job so they can work and have a chance to provide for their futures, with a job that offers benefits and possibility for retirement. No one out works or are harder workers than Americans. The economy rebounds when the middle class are made strong and have discretionary money to spend. It is a proven commodity.

The pompous Republicans running on the Conservative ticket,and in Congress, like all conservatives, can only stoop to name calling when they haven’t a leg to stand on and they would rather lie that find solutions for anyone other than the profit that goes into the pockets of the 1%. Their so-called million oil jobs (an exaggeration when we look at the true reality of the jobs) is nothing more than temporary jobs, because they would not dream of getting their finger nails dirty, while the workers do the dirty work and the oil companies, drain our natural gas, to sell to China and Japan.

This election year is more about the price future generations,if we are over 50, will have to pay than the current, because the economy is recovering and they will be able to fill those temporary jobs that will ruin the pristine beauty and touchy eco-systems, in time.

What kind of future, will that leave, should frighten all of us for both our childrens’ and grandchildrens’ sake . Electing conservatives, who either believe it doesn’t matter because Christ is coming or the World is ending, or they are just plain arrogant Jackasses, will not solve the problems of today, much less tomorrow. Vote the Republican bums out and re-elect Barack OBama in November.

The Disposable People

The Churches in America have the right to deny people of their choosing the right to worship,marry, get abortions and even to deny insurance coverage when it is their Church,charity, or hospitals.

We often object to their lack of sensibilities, not to mention their lack of empathy and compassion, and intolerance against people of their choosing. Christ clearly showed the Christian Churches that they needed to embrace all people, and all people are the Children of God.

At the time of Christ, people who suffered from leprosy, would be shipped off and held separate from society. They were shunned by everyone because of the fear mongering of the time. Christ went into their colony’s to embrace them to teach all Christians, of his acceptance of all people. The only real power given to the Churches were to forgive the sins of mankind when they asked for forgiveness, and to leave the judging of their behavior to God. We were all granted free will by God after Adam and Eve together made the decision to eat of the apple or pomegranate.

Our common sense alone, if not our religion or spiritual beliefs, should tell us that after the failure of the Garden of Eden, God who is all Omnipotent as well as all Wise, recognized that He could not give mankind free will and then deny them the right to use it when it came to making the decisions in their lives for themselves. No man or woman are ever given the right to deny that which God has granted, except when it comes to failure to obey the laws of a free Democracy.

Mankind is meant to be governed both by their own conscience and then by the law of the land that governs us all and supersedes that of our own conscious or free will. It is the Supreme Court as dictated by the Constitution who has the right to tell all Americans what laws we are to live and abide by, when it comes to those who govern us all.

The bigotry in the Churches, with Churches receiving government subsidies and the Churches controlling both elections and the men who govern, certainly was never established by Christ. He would abhor it, if He would return today.

Their argument is that they can feed the poor cheaper than government, because they have a volunteer staff. The early Christians established feeding the poor long before the government did, and now it would appear that giving alms to the poor needs to be subsidized, in order for the Churches to fulfill that part of their faith.

The simple truth is religion has a right to point out sin to their people who attend their Churches and then it is up to the free will, of both men and women, to choose how they will live their lives, within the boundaries of the law of the land. As Christians and as non-Christians, we have the equal right to choose how we will vote and worship, and pursue the rights of our own conscience through the guidance of our religious or non religious beliefs, while living within the boundaries of the law of the land.

As citizens of a Free Democracy, we have a responsibility to abide by the laws of the land. When we refuse to abide by the laws of the Justice Department we will be punished by the laws of government, accordingly. When we refuse to accept the laws established by government then government has the right to tell us what behavior is acceptable or isn’t. Churches can do the same within their own Churches but cannot over reach the right of government to establish and make laws that protect both the Constitution and its citizenry.

The next time we complain about stupid laws and government interference, it would do us well to understand that stupid laws are as a result of too many conservative judges that also come with conservatives who are elected, many times if not more than or at least equivalent to, liberal judges, even though liberal judges get blamed for the majority of the stupid laws.

There is a large sector of people who will deliberately enter our properties, if we do not make them safe against intruders, and then turn around and sue us because they get injured. Others will fake falls from grapes or water, they deliberately place on the floor or spill, and then sue. Laws are made by government to protect us against thievery,horrendous crimes,excessive greed, the corrupt,mother nature,to protect us at the workplace,protect us from foreign terrorists, and to protect us against our own carelessness.

The rest of the balance of laws come from the fact that people have little to no consideration for their neighbors and as a result laws are made to protect the citizenry against the thoughtless and selfish, who do abuse. If too many people do not protect their neighbors property against damage when they trim or remove their trees, for example, the next thing we know is that no one will be allowed to trim their trees. Stupid,inconsiderate, and thoughtless people, are more times than not, responsible for way more stupid laws, than what government will ever be. Government simply protects the rest of us against them.

The same false information, can be said about Churches, who have lost total sight of where their place in Society, should remain. When we protest against the fact that they have over stepped their boundaries,we hear all kinds of names from liberal leftist, commies,Atheist,Calvinist to heathens, because they have led people to believe that they have a God-given right to advise those who govern.

When elected officials fail to govern according to the Churches views of acceptance and decency, then they find they will not be elected or the conservatives will begin committees to try to find fault in them. As is what happened to Bill Clinton and has happened to Barack OBama. No one is above their scrutiny, unless they agree fully with their views. Elected officials who put Country first, quickly find they are under attack by the conservatives. Sadly the Churches clearly bring their views of bigotry and intolerance into the fray of government.

When Churches over step their boundaries and deny civil marriages which is a State right, or they enrage people against planned Parenthood and demand that government deny birth control and abortions to the poor, they are interfering with the rights of both gay and women, and denying government the ability to govern.

In a sense they do tell gays and women that their lives do not matter and they are disposable, as it is all about their right to govern and we are sitting back and watching entire blocks of people in the right-wing or Evangelicals and Fundamentalism govern in America.

When this same view is brought into the political arena and controls the way politicians govern then religion has over-stepped their and our boundaries, as well. The fact that the Conservatives are governing according to the approval of the Tea Party fundamentalists and Evangelicals and they are an entire block of electors, is a gross over-step of power by religion. The Republicans play to that base in order to win votes and that is what needs to be stopped.

Our sensibilities as Christians, if we truly believe that “All men are created equal, under God,”are highly offended by the way that the poor,women,gays, and minorities are treated as disposable people. With the 1% having voice over those of the middle class we are now finding that the middle class are becoming every bit as disposable as the rest of the people have been for centuries.

Certainly the history of the Churches views, with the exception of the Baptist Churches of the time, held that slavery was a God-given right as the African-Americans were not capable of making decisions for themselves. If we listen to Newt Gingrich today, we realize that too many still have the same, or close to it, bigotry yet today. Women’s lives have been worth less than that of a fetus since the beginning of the Catholic Church,even when it is a child who is forcefully raped. Minorities have always been expected to remain in their place and to speak when spoken to, with the understanding they could have jobs, no one else wanted.

There is zero tolerance for the gay population amongst Christian Churches, to the point that the Republican legislators even refused to acknowledge the threats being made on the gay population,in the name of the Bible, as the hate crimes, they are, in America. The poor have never been heard and have had to starve or be made to lose all rights to their own sense of dignity to feel worthy of charity. The middle class are now the new disposable people.

What is so appalling about all of this is that we the American public have tolerated the views of the Christian Churches, to govern our Country since the beginning of American Independence although our Founding fathers gave the Churches of America no power over government what so ever. It was through amendments, years later, that religion was added to our Constitution. It was spelled out and made clear that Religion was to stay out of the business of government and in exchange for them doing so government would not begin a religion of its own.

Unfortunately, abuse of power by religion, has led the American people to believe that the Atheists of America are threatening the rights of religion to practice when it is the opposite, in that religion through the conservatives, have and are threatening the rights of the politicians to govern and in doing so “We the People” have lost the power granted us in the Constitution, with equality for all.

A Republican President in America, who does not agree to the Churches views on gay, races, and women’s rights or the lack of them,and acceptance or rejection of non-Christians, are not being supported by the Republican Party today. The abuse of power by religion, is the reason and the only reason that every President in America has been chosen either by the Protestant Churches, Catholic Church, or the Evangelicals.

Watching just how pathetic the candidates for election in the Republican Party are this year, and how they are pandering to the Evangelicals should frighten all of us who believe in diversity and therefore Democracy. Knowing that others who do not have the support of the Churches, will never have the backing they need to win, needs to be changed by “We the People”, before we find that we are all disposable and are trained to serve their needs.

It has already gotten there, in too many ways, and we need to stop it by stopping the elected officials, who govern by their Churches beliefs, instead of by what is the best for All Americans as stated in our Constitution. Those who govern need to get back to Country First, and the Churches need to go back to understanding, themselves, that both men and women and all Americans are given the inalienable right to choose the pursuit of happiness regardless of race,creed,gender or color, as long as we obey the law of government that should govern all of us.

If the Churches are doing their job, inside of the doors of their Churches, by teaching their congregations the difference between right and wrong, true love of everyone with the understanding that we are to forgive our enemies but God ,only, has the power to forgive all, acceptance of all people and the equality of everyone, in the eyes of the Lord, then Americans of all beliefs, will make choices of their free will that is either, pleasing or displeasing to God.

This is the right of every American citizen, and is both their God-given and State-given right under God and The Democracy of a Free government. We need to elect Republicans who understand that while eliminating those who pander to the Evangelicals and right-wing of conservative politics. We need politicians who understand that they are to represent the needs of the people and Country First, period.

We begin, first and foremost, by acknowledging that the interference of religion and the intolerance they bring with them, is what is leading to the deterioration of freedom and Democracy for all of us.

When WE take back our own power, given to “We the People” through the Constitution, by eliminating those who refuse to put Country first; and elect officials who are willing to work together, in both the Congress and Senate, to do the job that the majority agree,is what we elect them to do, we will return to the Democracy of the people,by the people, and for the people, regardless of religious belief, gender, race,color, or sexual orientation.

Sadly as things are in the Republican Party today, it is all about the 1%, while the middle class has become as disposable as the poor have always been, with the Republicans trying to lean so far right, they are making a Circus out of Democracy.

Re-elect Barack OBama, who has given a voice to those of us who are not being heard, and re-elect and elect the Democrats that will work with him. If we don’t replace the Republicans who refuse to work for the middle class then we send ourselves to the disposable pile.

The Psycho Right

First of all I need to establish with my readers just what Psycho behavior is, according to my standards of the definition. It is someone like Newt Gingrich, who attacks John King, for asking him the question in rebuttal to the statement made by his second wife. Newt came out venomous against John King and the media and established, “how dare he ask that question?”

He got a standing ovation from the right-wing crowd that appears to follow him in these debates or perhaps the conservative right are every bit as psycho as Newt. Lets not forget that the Conservatives spent 100s of thousands,of tax payer’s money, on the Star committee trying to track down any kind of dirt they could get on Bill and Hiliary Clinton from the Whitewater investment firm, where the judge even had a friend of their’s jailed for weeks, when she refused to answer personal questions that pertained to the Clintons to the attempted impeachment of Bill Clinton.

They even at one time accused the Clinton’s of murdering a dear friend of their’s, who unfortunately committed suicide. The Conservatives, were vicious against Hiliary when she tried to bring healthcare to the people, just as they were and still are, against OBama, and were with Bill Clinton, and no one lead the attack more than Newt Gingrich.

This is the same group of people who,with Newt as their leader, moved towards impeachment and spent many millions more, of taxpayers dollars, in their drive to have Bill Clinton impeached when he was president. Newt was just as verbal,”of how dare Bill Clinton lie, at the same time, he himself was lying to everyone and having an affair, with the woman who now says he wanted to have an open marriage.

Bill OReilly ranted and raved for months into years on Fox News against the Clintons and especially Bill. Bill O’Reilly was paying quite a bit at the time for phone sex, himself, at the time and even had to dismiss it as not that serious on the air. The atmosphere was filled with hate at the time, due to the conservative’s, Newt, and his friends. If ABC refused to hear Newt’s friends out, then congratulations for not falling for the same old tricks of the psycho right! Newt took great umbrage with that on the stage, last night and called the fact that his ex said he wanted to have an open marriage, a lie and got a standing ovation from the crowd.

Someone needs to tell Newt, and that crowd, that it does not matter if he said the words or not. He lived the ideology of an open marriage, whether he has friends that testify or not. It’s not about words Newt, although you seem to forget that, it is all about actions, that matter. No matter how verbose you are, when your behavior represents the need for anger-management courses, then you need say nothing else.

When a person is having an affair, while still married, he is living the life of an open marriage. It is that simple. No pain in a marriage effects both the spouse and children worse, than adultery. Both will spend the rest of their life seeking out approval and having issues with trust, unless they seek help. Statistically,children but girls especially, will act out the behavior of the cheating parent.

We know while his first wife, and the mother of his children was living with cancer, Newt was having an affair with what would become his second wife, during the Clinton impeachments, that he was spear heading right along with the Star committee, who was selected by the conservatives. We know when his second wife developed M.S., he was having an affair with Calista, his current wife. It is an open marriage, regardless of what Newt calls it, his friends call it, the debate psycho crowd calls it, or the psycho Conservatives call it, when a person is married and having sex with another person.

More recent happenings by the right are: denying the child in Colorado, the ability to attend private school, because her parents are gay. Denying insurance to all their employees because a gay person, maybe, working amongst them. Defiling the funerals of our brave soldiers while screaming.” it is God’s punishment because of Gays in America.” Denying gay people the right to worship and civil marriage.Denying gays, and people of the Muslim religions, the pursuit of happiness, as guaranteed in our Constitution, for all American citizens. Firing a nun, from being a Hospital Administrator, in Arizona, because she allowed Doctors to perform an abortion in order to save the life of a young woman who suffered from serious lung disease, and could not survive a pregnancy. Accusing OBama of being Muslim and a non-citizen of America

There is no end to the list of the denial of freedoms taking place in the name of Christianity and marriage, by the right-wing in America. It has a lot to do with why there are fewer marriages taking place, in my opinion. Their do as I tell you, but not as I do, mentality is choking all of us who do not share in their own hate campaigns in America.

When the question of marriage is asked of them,and it does not favor them or the person they are trying to deny is a cheater and has lived his life in open marriage, then it is grounds to boo, with their crowd. Instead they talk about their Christian values of forgiveness. Give us a break–PULEEEEESE! When forgiveness works for their side then they forgive, but when hate works for them, there isn’t even a drop of empathy or forgiveness in the room.

Now that the Conservatives are on stage apparently, lies are a good thing, as there is no limit to the amount of lies, they are telling. We recognize it in the moderate, Mitt Romney before he opens his mouth, so we can’t conclusively say it is just the conservatives, as much as. it is the candidates running on the Republican ticket. Rick Santorum stood on stage in front of a military crowd and said,”OBama is refusing to cut social entitlements, but instead is cutting back on defense and the health care for the military, who fought in the wars, It is despicable!.” If there had been a truth-meter running the needle would have broken off when it turned to lies.

OBama is cutting back both in waste on Social Security,medicare, and Medicaid in an effort to help balance the budget, that is if the say “NO” Republicans will agree with him. As far as cutting back on defense, OBama, is cutting in areas where there are automatic cuts, such as eliminating old technology and equipment, along with the fact that they do not need to spend as much due to the fact that he has brought the troops home from Iraq and is cutting back in Afghanistan.” No president in history along with his wife Michelle, have done or continue doing more for the American soldiers and their families, who have fought in these wars, than what Barack and Michelle have and continue doing both in healthcare for the wounded as well as for those who suffer from post stress syndrome.

It is the Republican’s own out of control lies and their own hypocrisy, that weakens their own credibility, and makes the media entitled to pursue any and all questions on marriage and character, or the lack of it, especially when it applies to them in the reverse. It does not make the media liberal leftist. It makes the media legitimate; Which is something they obviously need to look up, in Websters Dictionary, as clearly they will not find it in the Bible from which they preach. They will need to, if they are going to return to reality, and leave their psycho world.

If the platform of the right is going to lie every time it suits them,are against education to our children, and come out against gay marriage, then the question of marriage and truth, are fair game on the platform, where debate is occurring in the Republican Party and every candidate up there is trying to out lean right the next candidate.

I applaud John King for having the courage to ask the tough question, despite the psycho Newt and his followers. It is not only an insult to all women but all Americans, to be treated like we are too stupid to know the difference between an open marriage as verses a committed marriage. My own marriage, certainly would not have lasted 42 years and counting, if I used Newt’s or the Conservative’s terminology for truth.It is high time that we as a Country, stand up against those who poison our political arena while accusing those who seek the truth, of stooping to their own pathetic levels.

Regardless if they call themselves: Evangelicals or fundamentalists, or we call them right-wing. They are the ones who tried to make it impossible for Bill Clinton to try to govern or lead our Nation, and have done and are doing the same to Barack Obama.

If the media, in its efforts to try to sort out and learn the truth, over lies,in the Man who will lead our Free Nation, is the new Liberal leftist, then more power to the liberals! The best barometer of future behavior is past behaviors and both the psychoes as well as the hypocrites need to be confronted, no matter how nasty their spokes people get. Trust me, I know first hand just how mean and nasty, they can and do get. Congratulations, to John King of CNN and ABC news, for not falling into their web of deceit! I personally applaud you both!

Aren’t We Censored Anyway?

I can see the point that both sides are making on the current debate or protest,depending on which side we are on. Definitely those who earn income off of the work they do in the film or music industry, in my opinion, have a right to be protected against piracy in the foreign markets.

I also understand the concerns of the tech market. Currently movement is being done to rewrite the legislation in Congress but with a 11% approval rating with the current Congress, it is questionable to what extent they will get it right or worsen their attempts to do so. The other option is that there is no easy way to get it right. Anytime there are two arguments one pro and the other con someone is going to think they got the short end of it.

The situation on the net for the rest of us if we tweet,blog, or Facebook, is that we are already censored anyway. Whether it be by the blog owners,the search engines or our peers.

I blog in a couple of areas and anytime I write my feelings or facts on the candidates or the 1% who represent the 40% population, I find those posts just magically disappear from the tags, search engines, or from the inter-net itself. Try to write on pro-choice and the importance that it plays in representing the majority of women in the political arena, and it disappears way below that of pro-life or adoption.

Clearly in my estimation the views of the 1% or 40% to 50% of the population, and their indoctrinated, will always be heard to a greater degree, if we pay to blog or if it is free. The same is true when we tweet a response to cable networks. If they are slanted right or left they will read a greater response level to their cause than they will to those who respond against them. Often times if they are making the effort to appear to be non-committal and representing equal time to all, they will read a response that is negative against them to promote the same appearance. Many times the same people are picked by their responses repetitively, as their views are favored over those who respond fewer times.

Facebook along with the other social sites are notorious for those who control it with obsessive banter and often the people who are on our friend list, that we would really like to communicate with either do not communicate or are drowned out, by those who appoint themselves as the spokes people for the political or entertainment views that are meant to be maintained.

Some times if we are willing to play the games available, the sites will update the results as free advertisement for the same. Once we get ignored enough by those who control the flow of the banter, we simply find it is much like those who formed the cliques in the office or highschool. We all get censored to a greater of lesser degree by our peers, no differently from what we do on the playground or in the work place.

I think we can all agree that censorship in the print area and what ever will appear on the editorial pages of all newspapers,or weekly or monthly magazines, will be represented by the views of the owners no differently from that of television or radio networks or cable. Murdoch,The Christian Broadcasting Network, and Corporate, owns a major control of the flow of that market.

Many of us find that we are even censored as to what we can say or do according to what is acceptable in our own work places,communities, and sometimes in our own families, when they gather. Others have a tendency to promote that which we all agree needs to be dealt with and the minute they find a spokes person who has the courage to speak out, they will desert them and deny that they ever promoted the idea. As a result adults who do have the courage or can make a difference end up being censored the harshest in their work place,communities or families. Ultimately it does and will lead to the 1% coming out ahead because of the censorship that follows when those, who would and could, make a difference are silenced.

With the current censorship debate or protest going on, it is more of a concern of the owners or those who control the flow of the internet and or the flow of profits from Hollywood, in my estimation, and the more we jump from one side to the other, the only way any of us, who do not stand to lose financially, will ever be heard, is in numbers.

For that reason requests have gone out from both sides and just like the 1% rely on the workers to run their businesses, they are now trying to get the “regular joes” to join their side in the numbers game, by telling us all these things about how our freedom will be lost without realizing that we have never had nor will we ever have the freedom to exercise censorship to the degree that they have always enjoyed.

Ultimately the decision between Tech and Hollywood will either reach an agreeable decision between who has the best lobbyist in Congress and the Congressmen, who are to gain either in prestige or financially, the most, by passing legislation accordingly. If it will help their re-election use to play a much larger role than it does with the current Congress.

In the meantime all of us, will be led to believe that we played a role with all of our signatures or protests. If this sounds overly cynical it is because the common person or the middle class and the poor, are being used as pons in what has become financial concerns of the 1%, who are ignoring the 99%, unless they need our support in numbers or workers, but think by feeding us a few crumbs for their sake or needs, we will all be happy little campers, who do not see through the layers of truth or the lack of the same, as represented to us in support of their views. It often sounds cynical because the reality is. “it is what it is.”

“American Workers Are Not Stupid!”

On several occasions Mitt has referred to the fact that Barack OBama is not intuned with regular people. That is dangerous territory for Mitt Romney to enter, not just because he must think American workers and voters are all stupid, but because he is both so disingenuine and apparently out of touch with, “regular folks, in his own campaign. Let me explain:

Let’s go back to when Mitt made a $10,000.00 bet, for starters. How many of us, who still deal in reality, think that if we are not setting the odds in Vegas, that the 99% are making a $10,000.00 bet with anyone?

I don’t know what is more dangerous;Mitt left to his own vices or Mitt following the script written for him by his writers. I recommend that you read my post called, “The Pathetic Lazy Rich” on this blog, as it will explain further why we have such inept politicians. If you need to understand further then follow along and you will see what I mean:

Mitt Romney’s intro is,”We need to bring back the soul to America.” This has been scripted for him by his writers. I can’t imagine a more out of touch remark, the man can make, that will scare off the voters more.

At a time, when a large group of Republicans, are having to convince themselves to vote for Mitt Romney,because they do know that there is no other religion that professes to be Christian, in America, that scares them more or subjects women to that of second class citizens more,unless timidly they might think it would be,the Tea Party sponsored Fundamentalists or the Jehovah Witnesses, they should not be advising Mitt to say that he is the man to give back the soul to America.

His writers should be smart enough not to say a Mormon,is the answer to,”Give back the Soul to America, when too many question Mitts own ability to own a pure one.”

I can’t help but think that if the Romney campaign, were aware of the fact that women far out number, male voters in America, and the majority are pro-choice they would be writing lines that worked for him when he ran in a more liberal environment as they did in Massachusetts.Aren’t we all certain they will once he gets past Iowa and South Carolina?

Not all of us come from that State but certainly they must know, both Mitt Romney and his campaign writers, that they have not seen anything yet, when it comes to opening up that vault of stored history. However, since they have come from the State of Iowa and are in South Carolina, where the Evangelical votes carry, they are treating all Americans like we are not intuned with the Romney campaign, and instead the Romney campaign is clearly out of touch with just how sophisticated that today’s voters really are.

His writers, if he can not figure it out himself, also needs to get the five Romney sons off of the stage, when they are or close to service duty age. If Romney is going to talk about taking out Iran and none of his sons are wearing military uniforms, he is only enraging families who sacrificed for 10 long years.

The sentiment after ten years of war in Iraq, with many of our own soldiers questioning if Iraq was even worth it, cannot be higher against chickenhawks. Those are the cowards who did not go to war or try to help families who suffered,nor will they ever send their own children to war,while they think nothing at all,of jeopardizing our children in a war when risks could not be higher, are not too highly held in esteem today.

For those, who are in denial about how the other 99% live or just too far removed from even imagining it,you do need to understand that how much money a person makes, does speak about what kind of leader he will make.

If we had honest politicians for the last decade plus, you might be right,about it not being such a big deal how much a person makes, so much, but Romney should know better that anyone else in America, that politicians are not honest and his refusal to turn over his tax returns do nothing but give the 99% justification, to feel that money or the 1%, will take priority in his White House, over the 99%, just as it has for the last decade in the Party he represents.

Mitt Romney, is a candidate for the office of White House, who is totally out of touch, if he does not know that. He only adds insult to injury by saying he will consider showing his tax returns, after he has already won the primary. Mitt has to be either the most dishonest candidate to ever run for the office or the most out of touch to have ever ran for the office.

I can continue with the list but it will go on until the doomsday, that some like to predict, but since I have obviously smarter readers, than what the Romney campaign has writers, or their PR team is making the mistake to think all workers are stupid, as I previously mention in my post,”The Pathetic Lazy Rich”,I will let you finish the list, yourself.

I recommend you make it fun by enlisting your children and seeing who can come up with the longest list. Don’t forget to put on that list, “I like firing people,” and “My speaker fees were not that much, they were only $375,000.00.” Those are his own gems as even I don’t think his writers did anything but cringed when he offered both of those jewels.

With over a million Democrats signing the petition in Wisconsin, to run Tea Party darling, Scott Walker out of the office of governorship in their fine State, I predict the number one thing that will defeat Mitt Romney is Mitt Romney’s inability to communicate with us, the American voters, and the arrogance of the GOP, who thinks anyone can beat Barack OBama. If Democrats can organize like that in the State of Wisconsin, that isn’t anything along side of the way we can organize against the hypocrites who are not tuned into the needs of the 99%, middle class workers.

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.

Who Are The Pro-Choice?

We are the majority, we are the pro-choice. We are both men and women who will never have an abortion nor will our daughters or grand daughters ever have an abortion. We understand that the decision, if it occurs, will be a difficult decision for all involved, if they feel forced into making that decision. We are older men and women, students and non-students,young and middle-age, rich and poor, Christians and non-Christians.

We are Americans, who understand and appreciate that the choices that women make needs to be protected by law, as history proves there are those who will deny us our legal rights, when we do not have freedom of choice or equality.

We are old enough to know and remember the horrors that women suffered before Roe vs. Wade. We understand and know to take the legal decision away from women will only condemn them to an uncertain probability that they will go elsewhere or try to abort on their own, without the care of professionals.

We understand that when the law is changed, if it is, we condemn our fellow sisters to an uncertain probability that they will not survive an illegal abortion. We remember the days, when as women, we did not have choices and as such live babies were killed and buried or left on door steps of vacant buildings or in garbage cans. Dr.s knew that abuse of some kind was going on but for years they refused to believe that parents, much less mothers could injure or kill their babies.

Because poverty was so common it was simply easier to list babies as failure to thrive or crib deaths and it is only modern medicine that recognizes that the probability of live births who were smothered or died, existed before abortion became legal. It was a well-kept secret amongst women or family members who assisted in the births, especially when incest was present,or the baby was a mixed race,or a mother thought the child would starve due to extreme poverty, and when Dr.s were rarely called. We remember that making abortions legal lead to a drop in abortions and death of live births.

We all know regardless of age, we cannot speak for other women who have the very difficult decision that we pray none of us will ever have to make.

We understand there are mothers of 12 to 16 year olds who have been raped by family members,friends, or strangers. We know that incest involves mostly girls, from the age of 8 to 12 but boys as well, and is the most under-reported crime in America, followed by rape of boys and then girls. We understand that women who are drug addicts and victims of incest will often go into prostitution and are bullied by pimps who will kill them or desert them in alley ways as beaten pulps, if they do not get an abortion.

We understand even when it appears to be a loving relationship as well as marriage, when a woman who is pregnant or recently pregnant dies the number one cause of death is homicide. Unless men are examined or penalized for life for the role that they play in the death of women who get pregnant and they either demand they get an abortion or pretend to go along with the pregnancy, when they clearly do not want the child, women are placed at an even greater jeopardy when abortion is not legal.

We understand that young girls who feel discriminated against by their fellow students and unloved will often seek out men or predators on the inter-net, sometimes as early as the age of 12 to 14, and their parents will need to make a difficult decision when it comes to a child having a child, and will need the law on their side when they do.

We understand that children and young women who suffer from a number of diseases that pregnancy will either kill them or disable them further, sometimes do get pregnant. We know that both they and sometimes their parents as well as their Doctors will need to make a decision that will need the law on their side.

We know there are older women with lung and heart problems, also with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s’ disease,obesity,Arthritis, and diabetes who will not survive the birth of a child or be disabled further. We know tests show mothers they are carrying a serious mentally damaged fetus without a brain. We know that in cases of artificial insemination too many embryos complicate a live birth and in all these cases both the women and the Doctor need to be protected by law.

And finally we understand, any decision a woman will feel they need to make, is their right to make, and between them and their Doctor and we are not appointed as judges and jury nor as emperors or dictators, over their lives, when they are adults and given the God-given right as well as the State-given right to make those decisions, themselves.

We know that history shows that with or without laws, women will have abortions or simply leave babies to die, in the case of unwanted pregnancy, and the only way we can lessen that from happening is to have a place like Planned Parenthood who is able to reach the women who have little to no money and the most likely to get abortions.

We need these trained professionals, in place, who can reach women and distribute birth control to prevent pregnancy and death or starvation. We need doctors who can attend to the needs of women and girls who are not sexually active but do not have healthcare so cannot afford the services of regular Doctors. We need them to offer council to our own daughters who.” would rather die,”(not actually just an expression in most cases) than talk to their parents about birth control or let them know they are sexually active.

We know that Planned Parenthood was able to council 241,000 women out of having an abortion last year. We know they save lives, as well when it comes to treating sexually transmitted diseases. We cannot allow the Conservative vote of America to play God in the lives of those who depend on this service for their own survival,knowledge or health, as they are.

We need to know and understand that the Republican conservatives and Tea Party sponsored Republicans as well as the moderate, that claims to be conservative (this includes the entire field including, Ron Paul, of all the candidates running on the Republican ticket), who if elected, will take away all government funding to Planned Parenthood and close it down. All the Planned Parenthoods, are currently under serious attack by the Republican Party.

Vote for women in November. Vote for Obama, as the proven candidate, who signed into law a woman’s right to be paid the same as a man for the same job, after years of it being held up by the House and Senate.
