So Much Laughable BS!

Gov. Bobby Jindal said Tuesday he had concerns about the economic stimulus package moving through Congress and wasn’t sure if Louisiana would accept all of the money that could be available from the plan.

“We’re going to look at each program, at each dollar, to see what strings are attached before we decide whether it makes sense for Louisiana to use those dollars or not,” Jindal said.

Haley Barbour of Mississippi has made similar statements….these yo-yos are just political hacks trying to look more than they really are.  Push comes to shove these dicks are gonna take the money….I say if there is an outside chance they will not then send their share to Michigan, they need all the help they can get.

All these bozos are trying to do is secure themselves a place in a dying party.  Simple theatrics is all they are about for they have no plans to meet their state fiscal shortfalls.  They will cave and ask for the cash.  If not then these guys are more stupid than I ever considered.

Does Iran Want A Nuke Or Not!

Will sombody make up their little mind for me please!

This from Press TV:

The new chief of US intelligence has confirmed the findings of a 2007 intelligence report that Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

Dennis Blair told the Senate Intelligence Committee that his organization has assessed that Tehran does not have nuclear weapons design and weaponization work.

A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), issued in November 2007 by the sixteen US intelligence agencies, clarified that Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

The UN nuclear watchdog, which has carried out the highest number of inspections in its history on Iranian nuclear sites, has also found nothing to indicate that the program has diverted toward weaponization.

Blair also acknowledged that Tehran has made significant progress in its uranium enrichment program during the past two years.

“Although we do not know whether Iran currently intends to develop nuclear weapons, we assess Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop them,” said the retired admiral.

He, however, did not elaborate on how his organization can assess that Tehran intends at a minimum level to keep open the option to develop nuclear weapons.

okay with that said….this was from Antiwar News:

President Obama accused Iran of “development of a nuclear weapon” during a press conference. Incoming CIA director Leon Panetta declared during his testimony that “I think there is no question that they are seeking that capability.”

While the Iranian government continues to express its desire to improve relations, Obama and associates just keep hurling accusations at Iran’s civilian nuclear program. There’s one thing the administration is missing though, and that’s evidence. Officials concede there is no evidence that undercuts the 2007 findings, but like the Bush Administration, the newcomers don’t seem to want fact to get in the way of good rhetoric.

Alright Dipsticks…will you guys please find a common ground and stop all this Bush-esque BS!  Pick one….either yes or no..it is just that flippin’ simple!

GOP Has Declared War On Obama

From the very beginning of his administration, Pres. Obama has been fighting an uphill battle with the GOP.  Regardless of the make nice words from the  minority whips and leaders of both houses of congress, it is evident that it will be nothing but confrontation after confrontation.  The Repubs have said it clearly that they want the president to succeed and that they are looking forward to working with him, but so far they have shown nothing but contempt for him and his attempts to try and use a bipartisan approach.

The cowards will not admit that they want Obama to fail and that they are willing to have him do so at the expense of the nation’s economy.  The GOP and its talk show pundits are willing to have Americans lose jobs and homes and meals all in the name of partisan politics with the hopes that a presidential failure will return them to power in Congress.

Nothing is more important to the GOP than their position of power.  And NOTHING will get in their way of their return to power, including the American people and their livelihood.  The economy is being used as a weapon of mass destruction against the Dems and most importantly against Obama.  They, the GOP, has no plan, other than their tired old tactics of the past, tax cuts, to offer the people, so they will attack everything tried by the new president in the hopes that something negative will stick.  Even to go so far as to use a fictitious CBO report to make their case–in other words they will LIE to get their attack on.

But Wait!  Did I call the Repubs cowards?  Yes I did!  And I will bet you would like me to justify that accussation…..alrighty then….The GOP is putting political party and the grab for power over the well-being of the economy and country…that is a cowardly thing to do.  There is a time and a place for such a political war and now is neither the time or the place.

The GOP Alernative For Stimulus

House GOP Leader John Boehner on plans for an economic stimulus and working with Barack Obama to craft such a plan:

“Republicans stand ready to work with President-elect Obama and our Democratic counterparts in Congress to enact an economic recovery bill that focuses on tax relief for working families and small businesses, rather than increased spending on government programs and higher taxes. House Republicans have put forth a plan that would do what Americans are asking Washington to do on the economy. President-elect Obama has expressed a desire to govern from the center. In that spirit, I’m hopeful he will give our plan his full consideration as he assembles his economic team – not for our sake, but for the sake of the American people, who are struggling in this economy.”

That is the alternative—it has been the alternative for decades.  It does not necessarily prove to be accurate–but the Repubs keep harping and pushing a tired, lame ass tactic.  We have had 8 years of tax cuts and it did NOTHING to stop the economic meltdown we are experiencing at this time.  But it will now somehow miraculously save the economy.

The only answer I have to his pile of steaming bovine fecal matter is a quote from John Stuart Mills, “I am not saying conservatives are stupid, but most stupid people are conservative”.

How About A Gag Order?—-Warning

Warning:  This post may contain subject matter that some may find offensive.  Read at your own risk.

Enough Assholes enough!

From now on both parties in the economic debate need to shut the fuck up!  The stimulus plan has not divided the country–it is the media and paritsan politics.  A gag order is seriously needed.

I will say that most, but not all, of the media is trying to give bot5h sides of the debate.  Unfortunbately too many host are partisan and get a lot my air time than those who support the bill.  The problem is that they do not present the news in away that would help the viewers understand what is going on with the bill.  And some keep using the “I won” statement is just plain silly.  It is hearsay or it would be posted on line by now.  It is one of the main tools being used to divide the country.  The economy is a  trainwreck–we do not need more observers we need lots more EMS.

The division of the country is doing NO good–nothing is being accomplished, but some goddamn political game–The Dems as well as the Repubs are playing this moronic game of political tennis.  They stuck a bunch of crap from the last 8 years into this bill–that is called partisanship.  Incase you were wondering.

This game has got to stop if the economy is to ever get rolling again.    Change has not come to Washington.  It is the same shit, different adminstration—guess what?  That is called partisanship!

Here is a piece of goddamn bi-partisanship–stop paying these assholes until they cease the political bullshit and work to solve the country’s problems.  Here is anmother piece for the dipshits!  Take all the spending parts out of the 675 pages, the parts that actually stimulate the economy, and pass them as a seperate bill.  Then they can go back to playing the stupid little mindless bullshit we pay them for.

A GAG ORDER!  Is the only answer.  Or this slimy crap will continue ad nauseum!

Why Pick On The Whigs?

In some past writings I have compared tthe future of the GOP to the old Whig Party….I still think that they are a dinosaur that needs to get a new breath or it will slowly fade as a leading force in American politics.

But Inow wish to apologize to the Whigs for my comparison.  The Modern Whig Party is making a charge to prominence and doing it well.  I came upon their website, http://www.modernwhig.org, by accident and decided that I should check them out—-I was impressed–more so than most other third parties that I have seen.

From their wbsite on Issues:

  • FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY — The Modern Whig philosophy is to empower the states with the resources to handle their unique affairs.
  • ENERGY INDEPENDENCE — Reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing practical sources of alternative energy. This will have the simultaneous effect of changing the national security dynamic.
  • EDUCATION/SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT — Increased public and private emphasis on fields such as space, oceanic, medical and nanotechnology. Also, providing common-sense solutions to enhance our educational system from pre-school to university-level studies.
  • STATES RIGHTS — Each state can generally determine its course of action based on local values and unique needs.
  • SOCIAL PROGRESSION — Government should refrain from legislating morality.
  • VETERANS AFFAIRS — Vigilant advocacy relating to the medical, financial, and overall well-being of our military families and veterans.

Basically, it is a party of independents that see value in some Repub tenets and some Dem….thus their motto…”a party for the rest of us”.

I suggest that if you are disillusioned with your party, then stop by their website and give them a look….they are still in the process of constructing the party but they seem to be doing it right….

I know….I know….this is not much of an agitation….but wait!  It is if you see that I am saying to get rid of the parties we have and start over…..we need a party of the people right now we have NONE.

The Whigs will be seeing more of me in the future…hope to see you there…..

What Will They Do?

To begin with, my father is a screaming racist and a conservative and Republican since 1964 when Goldwater was the man.  In the last election he believed all the emails that he got from his mindless dipshit friends….but Obam being a secret Muslim or a non citizen or going to paint the White House black…..if it was a scare tactic, he got it and believed it.

Of course me being the radical independent that I am he would try to rattle my cage as often as possible by repeating some of the more outrageous claims.  And then McCain was a hero in his eyes because he had been in the military, that was his only qualification and then there was Palin, the wick witch of the North, he liked her for some reason…I do not think he knew why other than she was a Repub.

It was a black day (pun intended) when Obama got elected.  He pissed and moaned about it for days.  Like I have said he liked rattling my cage every chance he got about Obama so I felt like I had to do the same for him….after all I try to be a good son.

Recently the RNC elected Steele to lead them into the future….though he does not have a plan other than to copy Obama’s internet strategy…he will lead them into the future…with the same tired positions they have regurgitating for years.  All that aside, I thought I would rub a little salt in his wound….so I ask what he would do now that we had a black pres and his party, the GOP, was lead by a black dude?

I gave him time for reflection after all he is 88 years old.

He thought for awhile and point at me and said, “go f*ck yourself”.  All in all a good day.
