PERRY AND BOEHNER AND PALIN… OH MY!

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

July 11, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

Those mean and nasty animals of the right are at it again.

Rick Perry was just here in San Francisco talking to a political club when he suddenly, in the city of The Castro, said that homosexuality was just like alcoholism. I guess he meant that it’s a disease that can be cured. Now he is saying that the crisis at the border is “Obama’s Katrina.” I guess he means that 3,000 Americans have died there.

Well no homosexuality is not a disease and therefore there is no “cure.” And no, there haven’t been thousands of Americans killed at the border. You see just because Perry has decided to dress and look smart doesn’t mean he is. I mean his newly cosmopolitan style is just that…a superficial facade. He is still just a dumb, ignorant Texas boy. Just like the guy he loved so dearly when Katrina actually happened..Bush.

Perry said that Bush got lots of criticism for just flying over New Orleans and not going down to see what was happening. Really? From whom? Guys like Perry? Noooo. Guys like me and the Democrats..well the Democrats eventually. So he wants Obama to go and see what is happening at the border. Now let’s say Obama did just that. What would we hear from the right? What would we see all over Fox News and be listening to on right wing talk radio?

Guys like Sean Hannity, who thinks he is tough while standing next to a machine gun with his shit kicker Governor buddy, patrolling the border and ready to shoot dead some of those awful 14 year old kids who want to live in the USA, would be saying it was just a photo op. There goes Obama again looking good and making a great speech. He would be ridiculed. Do you really think they would actually give him some credit for once?

Of course not. Plus Obama is learning, finally, that the Republicans are full of shit. He is done with reaching out and now he understands that they just need to be mocked. He isn’t playing their games anymore. They have had NUMEROUS chances to pass some sort of immigration reform and they refuse because he is President. And of course those of us with an IQ above 100 know that Dubya signed the bill that has led to the current issue at the border.

Speaking of superficial ways to try and look good. Sarah Palin is back at it. Palin has officially reached top hooker status. She is at platinum level. Wearing enough make-up to make a 60 year old look..oh I don’t know..58, she is back at it, talking about how Obama must be impeached. The ignorant Palin, who is loved by the ignorant masses in America, thinks that word can be used for anything she disagrees with. Any policy that actually helps people is an impeachable offense.

Palin also loves the attention. The way a porn star does when she has ten guys taking turns. She knows that her people get all hot and bothered when she uses that word. So she just throws and it out there and as usual strings together a few other terms that make no sense. It all makes perfect sense to Palin lovers though, because it’s all about getting rid of the black President and boy does that give them multiple orgasms. Like I said..Platinum level Sarah baby!

When asked about Palin throwing around the word “Impeachment” John Boehner said he disagrees with her. However he has no problem at all throwing out the word “Lawsuit.” Yes Boehner continues to talk about suing Obama for…well he’s not quite sure. I think he has settled on Obamacare and the mandate. He had to think about it for a month or so before deciding. He is suing Obama for getting shit done! Of course this was all voted on and passed by Congress but hey, that doesn’t matter. Of course this was voted on and passed by the American people since Obama won two landslide victories with this as one of his major platforms, but hey, that doesn’t matter.

Now this lawsuit will go nowhere as this is just a stunt by Boehner to try and deflect the attention away from his do nothing Congress for the upcoming mid terms. Your tax dollars will be used to fund this game but you are Americans, so bend over and enjoy it! His Congress does nothing to help Americans AND they get to steal your money as well! Great system we have in place. Same system that allows all but two incumbent representatives to win their primaries while polls show people giving those same reps a 7% approval. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it?

The good news as I mentioned earlier is that Obama seems to have reached a turning point in his Presidency. It’s a point I and many others wish he had reached on January 20, 2009 just after hearing about the Republicans plan to block him on everything and make him a one term President. The good ole boys were so incensed that a black guy had won that they held this meeting behind his back as though he were Julius Caesar. He should never have tried to reason with them for five years. Big mistake. But that was then, this is now.

He is now going around the country ridiculing their bullshit. Throwing it back in their faces. Helping the American people see them for what they are. Better late than never.

Just like Dorothy on that yellow brick road there is no reason to fear the animals. You just need to have some heart, a brain and some courage.

JOB CREATION UP, UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN BUT OBAMA STILL BLACK

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

July 7, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

There is much controversy and ballyhoo over the headline “A Nigger In The White House” by a paper in Greenwich Village in NYC. It’s actually a pro-Obama article which makes the point I have made many times and will make again today. That there is much racism involved when it comes to the criticism of Obama. There is more talk about that headline than the problem the article lays out. This is commonplace from a media that loves sensationalism and hates those boring things known as facts.

This of course always plays right into the Republicans hands since they are a party and voters who love vitriol and despise facts. We don’t see headlines like “OBAMA CREATES JOBS, SLASHES UNEMPLOYMENT.” No instead we see “BOEHNER SUES OBAMA” and “REPUBLICANS CALL OBAMA DICTATOR” and of course the perpetual “BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI.”

So why don’t we see the factual headlines? Such as “OBAMA’S JOB NUMBERS LEAVING BUSH IN THE DUST” OR “OBAMA ISSUES FEWER EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAN BOTH REAGAN AND BUSH.” Because THOSE are facts. I mean jobs are important right? Here is a fact based column written by Michael Tomasky. It documents how Obama has a net gain of 4.5 million jobs so far. A 3 million job advantage over Bush. But that is “The Daily Beast.” In all due respects to that publication it isn’t the “NY Times” or “USA Today”. You won’t see that headline in those publications. Of course you won’t see it on Fox News or CNN either.

Now the media is certainly to blame. We can say that’s a reason why voters don’t know this information. Tomasky blames the media somewhat and also blames the Democrats themselves for not being louder about their accomplishments. He is right. But if the media doesn’t want to cover it the Democrats can do no better than yelling out their windows ala Peter Finch in “Network.”

The other reason, the one the paper in the Village spoke about, I think is the bigger problem. The inherent racism of the United States. Hey maybe the media is racist as well, because unlike corporations, the media ARE people. Before you go and tell me how a black guy won the Presidency twice and that proves there is no racism anymore I will explain how he won. He won because Obama’s people did a superb job of getting African-Americans out to vote. That would be his own people. There is also a good percentage of white racists with low IQ’s that don’t vote..at all. Oh they complain but they don’t vote.

Those people, the white racists do have cars, and driver’s licenses. They do get polled. And when they do it reflects on Obama’s overall approval rating. You need to ask yourself this…IF a Clinton or a Bush, had been creating jobs for 45 straight months and if a Clinton or a Bush had lowered unemployment, would they be struggling to get above 45-50 percent approval? I think anyone who is honest with themselves would say no.

If a Clinton or a Bush was consistently obstructed by the opposing party would it be they who would be having the popularity problem? We can blame the media but they almost always go with the negative headline over the positive. It didn’t just start with Obama. And the Republicans have always been loud mouthed obnoxious assholes while the Democrats have always been meek and unable to toot their own horn.

The only denominator that has changed is the race of the President. These lowbrow, lowlife racists are just too dumb and prejudiced to realize that he is creating jobs for THEM! Not for the rich, but for those who need them the most. He is improving THEIR lives by lowering the unemployment rate.

Obama has given THESE people health coverage, jobs, a steady check instead of unemployment which runs out fast because Republicans won’t extend it. Their kids, if they want to go to college will have less debt due to changes in student loans. I could go on and on about how he has been on THEIR side.

Yet it doesn’t matter. His economic numbers are crushing Bush. If it keeps going like this as Tomasky points out, he will get close to Reagan’s numbers. Doesn’t matter.

Bush and Reagan were white. Obama is still black.

THE DAY THE GUNS CAME OUT IN GEORGIA

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

July 4, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

On this Independence Day they are celebrating the right to carry a gun anywhere they want in Georgia. Notice I don’t put the words “great state” in front of Georgia. That’s because it isn’t. Never really was.

Yes you can open carry your gun anywhere. Into churches, restaurants, schools, movie theaters and of course bars. As the rest of the civilized world works to bring down gun violence by instituting stricter gun laws the good ole US of A goes backwards in time. Back before the O.K. Corral. Which happened because some insane cowboys decided they didn’t want to hand in their weapons to Wyatt Earp while they were in Tombstone.

The insane cowboys don’t have to worry about that anymore because now they don’t have to hand in their weapons before they enter town. In fact they can get drunk and carry at the same time. Great country America! No not really!

But you have to wonder, I mean just think for a minute. Why now? Why weren’t these open carry laws passed by state legislatures before? Like…I dunno…when Bill Clinton was President? Or when George W. Bush was President? I mean what could the difference be now? I can’t quite put my finger on it….

Oh wait! Barack Obama, the black guy, is President! You know, the black dude who will take your guns away and give them to the Black Panthers. Am I dating myself? Oh OK..the Bloods and the Crips. Actually when those people carry weapons they are called criminals and thugs. Happy open carriers are no longer so happy. But when Billy Bob Joe Buck Billy Joe Bobby Bubba Joe carry their weapons into a Target (hopefully not anymore) or a Home Depot..well that is just them exercising their Second Amendment rights ain’t it?

Well there have already been problems of course. You see according to the new law, citizens OR police are NOT allowed to ask someone carrying a weapon to show their gun permit.

Let’s look closer at that. As of less than a year ago a police officer could stop a black person on the streets of NYC and frisk them with no questions asked. However in Georgia if someone is carrying a deadly weapon they cannot be asked to show their license to carry that weapon by a police officer. This is your America folks.

I have a question. How does someone know if the person carrying that gun is a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun? Can anyone answer that? Wayne LaPierre maybe?

I guess you just have to wait until someone takes their gun out and shoots up a store or a church or a school. Then the good guys with the guns can shoot back, maybe killing a few innocent people after the bad guy has already had time to kill a few as well. So the bad guys with the guns have to be allowed to shoot first? Is that the way this works Georgia?

The law is called “guns everywhere.” It’s a response to the paranoia around a black President taking the guns away from white folk. That and the threat of him sending in drones and the military to kill them and in the process take away their freedoms!

Of course he hasn’t taken one gun away and there have been no laws to take guns away just laws to allow more guns.

None of this matters to the gun nuts. They are insane. They are certifiable in their anti black President paranoia fantasy land.

Here is a fantasy of mine. It would be like if we were in a real life Tarantino movie. All of the gun nuts are standing in a circle, they all take their guns out, point them at one another and systematically blow each other away. This happens around the state of Georgia and anywhere else there are “guns everywhere” laws.

That is my solution. There seems to be no other.

REPUBLICANS ARE SICK AND GETTING SICKER.. OR WHY HILLARY NEEDS TO FIND A NEW FAVORITE BOOK

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful 

June 27, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

Just when you thought Republicans couldn’t get any crazier, any sicker, any more psychotic here are three stories that should send a collective chill down the spine of anyone who still thinks we live in the greatest country in the world. Something that can never be as long as the Republican party exists in its current form.

Jordan Haskins (R) Michigan : This dude is running for the Michigan state legislature. He has served time for breaking into cars and performing a ritual known as “cranking” or “pedal-pumping.” It would seem that consists of breaking into a car and masturbating. Jordan would remove the spark plug wires and sit in the car and masturbate while the motor was sparking and making noises. This according to police reports.

Jordan also broke into the police departments car lot and went joy riding with the cars while jerking off. There is more to this “fetish” that has to do with getting aroused by watching someone struggle to get their car started. Oh yeah baby! Crank that engine! Oh yeah! Slam that gas pedal! Ohhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I mean I have heard of many, many fetishes but not this one. Maybe it’s a Republican fetish. Jordan wants to run for political office and make laws that you and I will have to abide by if we are in Michigan. Think about that. I have a very high tolerance for sexual desires even in politicians, but Jordan is also a criminal and as he states conservatism, real conservatism, true red-blooded American conservatism is about grit, hard work, loyalty and traditional values. Your family values. 

My values? Does he mean spewing jizz all over the car steering wheel? No he probably means what most Christian conservatives mean which is that he is anti-gay, anti-choice and wants to take your rights away. It means punishing others for what he believes to have been his “sins.” In other words he is a hypocrite of the highest order.

But wait it gets worse….

Scott Esk (R) Oklahoma : Esk is running for the state legislature as well. He believes thatgays deserve to be stoned to death. He says the Old Testament commands it and that while he wouldn’t go out of his way to write the bill, he would certainly give it a thumbs up. This isn’t a joke folks. He says it is the right of a society to punish its sinners. He’s another guy who wants to make laws that you and I would have to abide by if we were unlucky enough to end up in his state. And boy would we ever be unlucky!

Of course Esk is against the middle east fundamentalists such as the Taliban. Those guys are bad. Christian fundamentalists are all good. No worries. Esk is a psychotic individual. He belongs in treatment and needs to be highly medicated. But in this country he gets to run for political office and may very well win. I believe Esk truly believes this bat crap crazy shit and isn’t just saying it to get votes. Think about that. He TRULY believes it.

Is there ANY other county where someone like this would have any chance at winning public office, or even think about running? As Cenk Uygur says, even the Taliban isn’t this extreme!

When I can actually say that this last guy isn’t quite as bad, that really is saying something about the state of our union.

Timothy Ray Murray (R) Oklahoma : Whatever happened to the days of “Oklahoma!”? Murray who ran for U.S. Congress believes that the guy who beat him, Frank Lucas (R) isactually dead and this dude is a body double! I shit you not. Luckily in this case, Murray was soundly defeated in the primary.

It is widely known Rep. Frank D. Lucas is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alike. Rep. Lucas’ look alike was depicted as sentenced on a white stage in southern Ukraine on or about Jan. 11, 2011. Murray said in a statement. He went on to say that Lucas and a few other members of Congress were hanged on television by the “World Court.”

Here is another guy who belongs hospitalized. But there he was on a ballot for U.S. Congress. He even got five percent of the vote!

This is your Republican party ladies and gentlemen. It is THE reason why the United States is no longer the best nation in the world. Hasn’t been for a long time. Can’t be as long as this represents one of the two major political parties. It’s impossible.

Which brings me to Hillary Clinton. Why? Because she recently was asked what her favorite book was and she answered, The Bible! I recently told a friend that she really just has to say that because she is running for President of the United States. But you know what, I’ve changed my mind. This is the book that talks about stoning gays to death and other crazy nonsense, if you believe the literal word and many do. You see that people running for political office certainly do.

Enough of the religion shit. It only causes harm. Nothing else. There is a separation of church and state in this country and it’s high time politicians abide by it. Any person who doesn’t should be impeached. I don’t want to hear politicians even talk about God anymore. Enough is enough. Legislation not indoctrination!

If someone like Hillary is going to talk about making this a better country, to go back to being a great country than she better drop her bible and pick up a real book. Otherwise Republican loonies like these will continue to fester and take over.

Our prospects don’t look good.

TIME TO SHOVE A BIG PHILLY CHEESESTEAK IN CHRIS MATTHEWS MOUTH

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

June 20, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

What the fuck is wrong with Chris Matthews? Of all the people for the “tough” Philadelphia talker to go after he chooses Elizabeth Warren? Are you fucking kidding me? What a slimy, chicken shit Matthews has become. Don’t go after people like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, John Boehner or Mitch McConnell. No, go after the ONE person in all of Congress who has the nerve to stand up for the American people on issue after issue. OK there is also Bernie Sanders, but Warren has been a real fighter from day one.

Matthews chastised Warren for not doing enough. NOT DOING ENOUGH!? He blamed the Democrats for not passing vital legislation. The DEMOCRATS?! Matthews has been around long enough to know how this shit works. He knows the Republicans control the House, the TEA PARTY controls the House. He knows the Republicans in the Senate filibuster everything. The TEA PARTY filibusters everything. He knows this shit inside and out because he has talked about it.

So..why go after Warren and the Democrats? This is a game that Matthews has been playing for years. He cares only about his ratings so he tries to grab as many viewers from both sides as possible. What he does is simply flip flop. He is no better than a guy like John McCain or Rand Paul, or Ron Paul, who tell one audience one thing and another audience the exact opposite. All in an attempt to get as many votes as possible from both sides. It’s a sneaky, shitty little game and it proves that Matthews is full of shit.

This is why he can say something very incisive one moment and then something totally idiotic the next. He wants to be MSNBC and FOX all wrapped into one obnoxious package. It’s about ratings folks, it’s about staying afloat when times have maybe passed you by. This is why he rarely lets his guests talk. If he had allowed Warren to explain the facts to his audience, he would be left with egg on his face. So he talks, asks a question, doesn’t let the guest answer and talks over them. It’s a basic bully host tactic. Works all of the time.

I would NEVER be a guest on a show when someone like Matthews or O’Reilly is in charge. They will always be in control, able to manipulate the conversation, cut you off, have the last word. Matthews likes to have morons like Michael Steele and John Feehery on his show. Anyone would seem like a genius sitting across from these Republican hacks. Notice you don’t see these guys on too many other shows. How would a guy like Feehery survive a bout with let’s say..Ed Schultz or Lawrence O’Donnell??

But let’s get back to Matthews and Warren. I’m glad she was able to get a few words in here and there. I heard something like “Stop this!” Warren was having enough of Matthews bullshit. Only the true idiots of America think Matthews has a valid point when he blames the President and the slight Democratic majority in the Senate for the failure to get legislation through. Who shut down the gov’t Chris? Who has blocked more legislation than any other Congress in history? What Congress has done less, and worked fewer hours?

Matthews knows the simple answer to these questions. He knows that no legislation can pass without the House.  He knows that Warren is a fighter despite the obstacles. He knows lots of things. But the one thing he knows the best is that he loves his job and he wants to keep it. Like most of these people he wants to keep it till he drops dead on air. The ego is a very powerful thing.

It’s Matthews ego that turns the self proclaimed “straight talker” into a bullshitter of the highest order.

MEMO TO MEDIA: STOP ASKING MASS MURDERERS FOR ADVICE ON IRAQ

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

June 17, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

David Gregory is an asshole. So is EVERY mainstream media moron who does a “segment” with one of the Bush cronies who got us into the Iraq war to begin with over 10 years ago. We know the right-wing plan is to simply prey on the ignorance of Americans (always their plan) and pretend Bush and company never existed. That the Iraq war is Obama’s fault because hey Mr. and Mrs. Shit kicker..he’s President now ain’t he??

Yes the ignorant American public, the uneducated masses who allow the Republican party to exist since we know it couldn’t exist anywhere else. But OK, we expect it from the R’s. We don’t expect the media, the people who are supposedly intelligent to comply with the right wingers game plan (hey, what happened to the “liberal” media?) This is exactly what they do when people like Gregory or Anderson Cooper put guys like Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol, Dick Cheney, Ari Fleischer, John McCain, et al. on national television to ask their “advice” on what to do now in Iraq.

Let me ask these media folks a question. Would you put on a serial killer to talk about gun control? A rapist to talk about women’s rights?

We know the answer, it’s a simple one. So why the fuck do they continue to put these Iraq war architects on to get their advice on how to quell the fighting in Iraq? The same guys who claimed the war would be done with quickly. The same guys who thought it was the right time for Bush to dress like a dick and step off an aircraft carrier to proclaim “Mission Accomplished.” The same politicians who were one hundred percent behind the war to begin with.

Kristol, the arrogant know nothing killer of women and children, said back in 2003 that the war would be over “in two months.” Two fucking months! Yet there he is on “Meet the Press” being asked by that putz Gregory, “What should we do now Mr. Kristol?” It’s unbelievable! Tim Russert must be turning over in his grave knowing that he would have simply pulled the video of Kristol saying the war would end in two months back in 2003 and ask him why should anyone listen to him now?

THAT would be the question to ask if someone had the urge to put this bullshit artist on television. This is what Paul Wolfowitz said in 2003…“It’s hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam’s security forces and his army. Hard to imagine.” Hard to imagine yes, because it actually happened! Yet there he is, another mass murderer on national television shows being asked his “expert advice.” As though this son of a bitch actually walks on two legs.

Want more?

Dick Cheney is 2003..”My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.”  

“I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.” 

John McCain..“Make it a hundred…That would be fine with me.” -to a questioner who asked if he supported President Bush’s vision for keeping U.S. troops in Iraq for 50 years.

Paul Wolfowitz in 2003..“There’s a lot of money to pay for this. It doesn’t have to be U.S. taxpayer money. We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.”

I could go on and on and on…doesn’t matter. Aside from people like Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell, we see this pattern of putting people who are a total failure on television and asking their opinion and advice on major, life or death situations and policy. As though all of recent history has been erased. As if the thousands upon thousands of deaths, both U.S. military and Iraqi civilians never happened at all. It’s disgusting and unethical.

Yet they continue to get away with this lazy, intellect free journalism because the average citizen of this country doesn’t have a clue. They failed in school and they continue to fail in life. History doesn’t matter.

This is why as a country, we continue to die.

WHY I HOPE ARI FLEISCHER IS KIDNAPPED BY A SUNNI MILITANT

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

June 13, 2014

By Mike Caccioppoli

There is something about former President Dubya Bush’s press secretary Ari Fleischer’s face that has made me want to punch his nose for quite some time now. Maybe it’s his passive aggressiveness that I hate so much. He likes to talk as though what he is saying is just commonplace and accepted when it is in fact Neocon bile of the worst order. He is like a little weasel hiding in the shadows, ready to come out whenever he feels he can give his old bosses a shot in the arm. He is the worst of PR flacks, he actually believes his own bullshit.

Today, Fleischer tweeted this..

Regardless of what anyone thinks of going into Iraq in 2002, t’s a tragedy that the successes of the 2007 surge have been lost & abandoned.

There are so many things about that tweet that make me want to give Ari boy a nice shot in his big nose. “Regardless” he begins. Regardless of the lies that were told to both Congress and the American people that got us into this shit storm of a war. Regardless of the thousands of American boys and girls who were killed because of that lie. Regardless of the fact that hundreds of thousands of civilians, MANY of them women and children were murdered because of that lie. Regardless of the economic crash that nearly put us into a depression, and would have if not for Obama and the Democrats saving the country. Regardless…

Fleischer calls the 2007 surge a “success.” Did I miss something? He means the “successes” that followed shortly after? The constant bombings and daily terrorist attacks? The continued deaths of our soldiers and Iraqi civilians? Also maybe Fleischer has forgotten that his boss proclaimed “Mission Accomplished” years before the alleged successful surge. If the mission was accomplished why was a surge needed? Doesn’t accomplished mean done..finished..completed?

No you see Fleischer is full of shit. He is a liar. He was a paid liar. He continues to lie. He said those “successes” were “lost and abandoned” This is what Fleischer tweeted back in 2011…

O decision on Iraq is right one. I was open 2 staying if he made the case it wld help w Iran, but Iraq war is over. It’s time

So Fleischer was before ending the war in Iraq before he was for continuing it. No not really. He just lies and lies and lies. And now that he and his war loving (as long as they don’t have to go to war themselves) neocon buddies like John McCain, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz want to go back to Iraq and do it all over again, Fleischer was just hoping we didn’t find that tweet from three years ago. I’m surprised he didn’t just erase it the way all right wingers do when they want to pretend they didn’t say something that contradicts what they are now saying.

So Ari boy and his buddies are now blaming…you guessed it… Obama.. on the Sunni insurgency! The immense balls they must have (except for when they are asked to go to Iraq and fight). Yes they blame Obama for an insurgency that would never be happening if the Unites States didn’t get involved in Iraq in the first place. Memory check: Dubya Bush was responsible for that. Yes since Saddam Hussein was the only guy who kept things in check in Iraq, once we caused his ousting and murder, all hell broke loose. It hasn’t stopped since and probably will never stop. Memory check number two: This is all Dubya Bush’s fault.

Doesn’t matter though. There is Ari Fleischer with his bullshit tweets and John McCain with his chest beating, telling lies about how it’s all Obama’s fault. How things were going so damn well when Dubya Bush was in control. Yes there will be people who buy it. You know who they are. I have said it here many times before. The black President haters who always find new and inventive ways to blame him for anything and everything. You and I know better.

You and I know that the people running this country in 2001 saw what a loser Dubya Bush was. They knew he had just LOST the election and had no political cache. So they came up with a way to give him some and it was Iraq (you can decide for yourself whether 9/11 was a part of that plan or just a coincidence). They knew that the country would get behind their President when it came to fighting “terrorists” in Iraq and the hated bad guy Saddam Hussein. That isn’t the only reason we went to war but it is the MAIN reason.

So we are here now. With more strife in Iraq. And the same people are saying the same shit. They love two things more than anything else..war and hating Obama. When they can combine those things they get all hot and bothered. The lies come fast and furiously.

Fleischer really is the worst of them because he is everything that is wrong with the chicken hawk. He is a phony intellectual who spews hateful garbage in the most benign way. He is a spoiled wealthy brat.. a boy who talks big and then hides behind the bigger boys. A tough talker without a tough bone in his body.

He makes me sick.

Why was I born in this country? Why couldn’t I be born in Canada? Or Great Britain? I ask myself these questions on an almost daily basis these days. This country hasn’t been great in a very long time. And we are undoubtedly slipping and sliding into total destruction. There is no doubt about it. None at all.

People from other countries, violent third world countries, have come here, to the United States in the past and have asked for asylum. Can I do that now? Can I go to Canada and beg them to let me become a citizen of their great country since my country has become a nation of extreme violence where at any time I can be killed by a right wing scum nut with a gun? Can I? I wanna know!

It happens every day now. Police officers are shot dead in cold blood while they get their lunch. They are shot dead by two lowlife scumbag Tea Party members. They are members of the Republican party as the Tea Party has not separated yet. Has not been told to separate by the “mainstream” Republicans. So therefore they are one and the same. These two individuals were at Bundy Ranch, they hated Obama and anyone on “food stamps.” Sounds very “mainstream” Republican to me.

They killed two police officers because they thought they were fighting the new “revolution.” They draped the officers bodies in “Don’t Tread On Me” flags. That’s a slogan we hear all of the time from right wingers, who believe that freedom is being poor with guns. So they can fight the awful police and government agencies who want to take their freedoms away. You can see how sick this is. How mentally fucked up these people are, they are psychotics who are running loose in our streets. Murdering our police officers and threatening to do the same to our politicians. Something else we can blame the most awful President of our times, Ronald Reagan for, letting the crazies out of the mental institutions and those crazies were allowed to procreate and now we deal with their evil spawn.

GLENN BECK MUST BE ARRESTED

We deal with them on our television sets. Glenn Beck should be arrested. He should be arrested now. In 2010 Beck, one of those crazies I spoke about, told his followers to “Shoot them in the head” regarding the “communists” who want a revolution. Now with the majority of Beck’s audience being psychopathic, that statement is bad enough. But they interpret “communists” in many ways. The police department is communist to them since it is a government run agency that they feel will try to take their guns and freedoms away. It is an agency they must fight. As Beck said, “Shoot them in the head…they might shoot you first.”

Beck is directly, not indirectly responsible for the deaths of those officers. What he said is not covered under freedom of speech as it was a direct order to incite violence and that’s exactly what happened. Beck must be arrested and indicted on conspiracy to commit murder. It must happen now. If not we are saying it is alright to kill police officers, or any other government worker, because they are “communists.” It will happen again if we don’t take action. Arrest Glenn Beck. Arrest him now!

OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING

Of course we also have to deal with these crazies in our schools. One school shooting after another. It has become so commonplace that it’s just a blip on our Twitter or Facebook feeds. The friends of the kids that are killed tweet their R.I.P’s daily. As though they are tweeting “Happy Graduation” or “Happy Birthday.” It is just expected now. Cry for a few minutes then move on. It’s sick and twisted and the NRA loving Republicans and gun nuts just shrug it off. Their solution is to arm all teachers and children with guns. Yes children. The gun nuts post pictures of their three and four year old kids holding guns. I seem them all the time.Those children should be taken away from them.

We are a sick, cancer ridden nation. Republicans want more guns, more anger, more hate. They want to replace their ultra right wing candidates with ultra ultra right wing candidates. Then replace them with ultra ultra ultra right wing candidates. They want to leave our soldiers behind, then call them and their families horrible names when the black President they hate so much brings them home.

They want a revolution that involves not paying taxes, killing cops and having our children afraid to go to school. As a friend pointed out, the police should notice that it is not the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters that kill them, it’s the right wing scum.

We are living in a crazy house that is called the United States of America.

I need to get out of here. So do you.

THE REPUBLICAN SCUM FILES: HOW THEY HATE OUR TROOPS

By Mike Caccioppoli

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

When it comes to either supporting our troops or hating Obama the Republicans overwhelmingly choose the latter. Oh boy do they ever. The party who loves jingoistic phrases and loud macho alpha chest beating just couldn’t wait to bash the soldier that our President bravely rescued. Yes it is very brave to actually take action. And that’s what our President did. To fuck with the consequences of more bashing and phony scandal and impeachment talk from the right wing scum. Obama actually did the right thing!

Yes the Republicans love to talk big. “Support our troops”…”Semper Fi.. do or die..gung ho..gung ho…gung ho!” But when it comes to taking action all they can do is sit back and be Monday morning quarterbacks. Now many Republicans were caught erasing tweets they had sent out before Bergdahl’s return which said they were in favor of doing whatever was necessary to get him back. You see that was before Obama did what they never expected him to do..actually get the dude back. Republicans, since they are the party of do nothing, or do nothing unless it fucks most people over, figured Obama wouldn’t have the balls to actually make the deal to bring Bergdahl home.

But he did exactly that. And now they are against what they were for. Not the first time the ballsy black President has done something they actually wanted, to only bash him once he pulls the trigger. It’s commonplace. It’s not surprising at all. Not surprising because the Republican party couldn’t care less about our troops. They have been using our troops as pawns for decades. They send them to die in needless, useless wars. They destroy families in the name of power and money and greed and oil.

When the troops come back home all fucked up mentally and physically they cut funding to VA hospitals and know they can just blame the next Democratic President for it. “Never leave a man behind” they shout and pound their bloated chests, yet when the black President brings one home, the last one, they immediately try to destroy the soldiers reputation. Why? To just get back at the black President.

They destroy the soldiers father. Irish big mouthed right wing pricks on television call him “Taliban” because he has a long beard yet those same pricks give a guy like Phil Robertson a pass, because he is just a good American with a long unwashed beard. Old decrepit, senile Senators forget they were just on television saying they were in favor of the soldiers return by any means necessary. But now they are against it because they are fucked up in the head and forget what they just said. But they often do this, even when they were younger. Maybe they were always good for nothing mental midgets.

The Republicans love to “pray” for the troops. Pray for them oh lord! Just don’t let the black President actually bring them home. Let’s keep them in captivity until a good white male Republican is President..like in fifty years if they are lucky. Lip service is all these good for nothing Republican scumbags are actually good for. When they have to take action they shit their pants, and just criticize those who actually take that action.

On issue after issue. Guns. Health care. Veterans rights. Immigration…on and on and on. They are on default mode. Wait for Obama to make his move then attack, attack, attack. Even if it means attacking our troops and their families. Erase those tweets, make up lies about soldiers dying trying to save the guy Obama saved without one lost life, go on Fox News and make shit up!

Republicans are a disgusting lot that grow more and more disgusting by the day. By the event.

To hell with the truth, with facts. Just destroy. Destroy our men and women in war and then continue to destroy them when they get home.

Scum doesn’t get any scummier.

LET’S SWAP JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN FOR SOME HUMMUS

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

 OK this is it. The height of Republican hypocrisy . I truly cannot take it anymore. I can’t. President Obama swapped five Gitmo detainees, who have been found to be guilty of nothing other than maybe despising George W. Bush, (if this were a crime I would be on death row by now along with many others) for our last remaining POW of Bush’s many wars. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released by the Taliban as the five detainees were sent home. Right away there was Republican outrage over the swap. Of course the guy who was a POW himself John McCain has been extremely vocal in his criticism.

McCain of all people should be championing this. He knows what years in captivity can do your mind, body and spirit. He knows that the people in Gitmo are being held illegally. He knows this but denies it. He claims to be against torture but in the next breath will say that holding human beings illegally is not torture. Yes it is. Those prisoners in Gitmo have as much right to their freedom as Sgt. Bergdahl does. McCain is once again a no good hypocrite, one of rapidly deteriorating mental health as well.

Sarah Palin who had just recently prayed for the quick and safe return of Bergdahl, is now condemning Obama for the swap. Palin has even less worth than McCain. She prays that something will happen even though you and I know she doesn’t believe in shit. However prayer is as far as she goes. When it comes to actually doing something to make that prayer come true she is at a loss. She would praise God but condemn Obama for doing the exact thing she has been praying for. But of course she wouldn’t have any real ideas, or solutions, because she is the quitter from Alaska. She is a soulless, brainless entity that is of no use.

Let’s forget for a moment about the details surrounding the disappearance of Bergdahl. Some are calling him a hero, others a traitor. This is neither here nor there. He is an American who was being held captive by the Taliban and his return is welcome and the right thing to have happened. Once again Obama accomplishes a major foreign affairs issue with little drama and no violence or deaths. Our country wanted him back and he is back. Safe. Ted Cruz said he would have sent forces in to get him. And a hundred American soldier deaths later we might have him back, albeit maybe not in one piece.

If there was to be any criticism coming it certainly can’t be from the same people that had no problem at all with their hero Ronnie Reagan sending deadly weapons to our enemies in return for hostages. Right? I mean this is a no brainer, isn’t it? Thousands of weapons that could in turn kill us and our soldiers swapped for hostages. I mean that is far far worse than just five dudes for one soldier right? Let’s do the math. Oh well most Republicans can’t add so I guess that is out the window!

You really can’t wrap your mind around the hypocrisy. Yet there they are, loud and clear calling Obama a criminal. Saying that what he did was an impeachable act. This is the kind of stuff they are saying. Yes, they fully backed their hero Reagan, the man of their wet dreams (the only kind of wet dreams Republicans can have anyway). But when it comes to that black, socialist, welfare loving, free health care giving President Obama, well then it’s just an outrage!

I will give them some of their own medicine. If you don’t agree with the safe return of an American soldier, you are not a patriot. You are a traitor. You should live somewhere else.

Speaking of that I would like to propose a trade. To the Taliban I send John McCain and Sarah Palin. In return I would like some of your best hummus. I think that’s fair.

Hey, I said I only wanted their best, right?
