The Dying of the Right: Republicans WILL Believe Anything

March 31, 2011
By

If it’s about Obama, Clinton or poor old born-again Jimmy Carter, nothing is too absurd for the gullible right-wingers, as long as it’s defamatory. Some of these dizzy neocons, in a massive exercise in psychological projection, seriously believe liberals and progressives are fascists who want to see them in camps or dead, even though no evidence of this exists outside of the empty spinning flywheels of right-wing propaganda. (And these are the same bubbleheads who enthusiastically thumbs-up such Republican reptiles as WI Gov. Scott Walker, OH Gov. John Kasich, NJ Gov. Chris Christie, and MI Gov. Rick Snyder, the latter actually trying to secure the power to nullify local elections and run towns from the governor’s office. If that’s not fascism, I don’t know what is.) They didn’t learn the lesson of the Junior Bush years: There is a steep price to pay for those who create their own reality, and disinformation and delusion inevitably lead to ruin. The current incarnation of the GOP as a minority Christopublican-Tea Party is already sliding down the slippery chute; in ten years, both of these addled factions will have been shunted to the sidelines where they belong and a true conservative secular Goldwater…

Inspection- Knee Jerk-ism Isn’t Just for Liberals Anymore

Knee jerk-ism isn’t just for Liberals anymore. And it never was. The old man started the story… “When I was a teen and part of the New Conservative movement, no, not “Neo” as represented by Bush II, Bachmann, Beck and their ilk, but ‘New’ as in Buckley and Goldwater, I remember my father ranting about “‘knee jerk Liberals….’” Damn, I am getting old and sounding more and more like Grandpa Simpson, ain’t I? Hopefully this story goes “somewhere” for you, unlike my toon-ish twin’s stories.

Newt Thinks America Could Become a “Secular Atheist Country … Dominated by Radical Islamists”

March 29, 2011
By

Apparently, Newt Gingrich is peeved that Michele Bachmann gets all the media attention for crapshit crazy remarks, so he’s decided to up his ante. Keep in mind, this man actually taught history at one time and claims to have a college education. (Perhaps he slept through his classes, as so many other Republicans apparently did.) Obviously, it wasn’t religious history, as he doesn’t seem to know what ‘atheism’ is. Newt’s from the Fox News ‘throw all the negative terms in a hat and pick a few at random to scare the ignorant suckers’ school of propaganda, which is how Obama became a Nazi-commie-fascist-Kenyan Muslim-Christian liberationist-Weather Underground member when he was 8-years-old. Read on and try not to laugh too hard: Gingrich fears ‘atheist country … dominated by radical Islamists’ by Dan Gilgoff CNN.com Religion Editor March 28, 2011 Hours after declaring Sunday that he expects to be running for president within a month, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he’s worried the United States could be “a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists,” in the foreseeable future, according to Politico. Gingrich was addressing Cornerstone Church, a megachurch in San Antonio, Texas, led by the Rev. John Hagee,…

Indiana Prosecutor DENIED Encouraging Wisconsin Violence

Indiana Prosecutor DENIED Encouraging Wisconsin Violence

Written by Kate Golden Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism Updated 3:59 p.m. Carlos Lam has admitted writing the email and resigned as deputy prosecutor of Johnson County, according to a statement from the Johnson County Prosecutor. More information below from a previous story. ______________________________________________________ The email came to Gov. Scott Walker from the personal account of a deputy prosecutor and Republican activist in Indiana. After praise for Walker, the email — sent Feb. 19, during union demonstrations against Walker’s budget repair bill — then took a darker turn. It suggested that the situation in Wisconsin presented “a good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation.” “If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions’ cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions,” the email said. “Currently, the media is painting the union protest as a democratic uprising and failing to mention the role of the DNC and umbrella union organizations in the protest. Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions. God bless, Carlos F. Lam.” Email headers with detailed IP addresses…

Japan – the Canary in the Uranium Mine?

HERD ABOUT IT? by Ana Grarian If we can get honest news about the long term effects of the tsunami/earthquake in Japan, we will have extensive information about the ecological impacts of modern human society. The coverage of the nuclear crisis is very good on programs like Rachel Maddow, but we have not heard about the other major pollutants unleashed by the earthquake and tsunami. Can you imagine for a moment the stew of contaminants released into the environment from this disaster? http://smilepanic.com/japan-disaster-most-shocking-pics No, I really can’t imagine it either. From human sewage to petrochemicals and garbage, all mannner of materials used by humans, have been washed into the sea, the rivers, soaked into the soil and released into the air. We won’t get the truth. For the same socio-economic reasons as any other country, these reports will be hidden, whitewashed, buried and burned. This is not about slandering Japan, the other countries of the world don’t want their citizens to see them either. The short and long-term health effects may be duly reported, but then they will be filed away, out of sight and out of mind. Too much is at stake. If we learn the truth, too many…

Big Ag, Corrupt Gov’t, and Africa

HERD ABOUT IT? by Ana Grarian This is from a letter I received from a fellow member of a group that tries to help poor women around the world. This member has a Master’s in Social Work, a PhD,  and knows more than a little about how social change is corrupted from its presumed purpose through her work in an NGO that she founded to combat hunger in the US.   Many of us are involved in efforts to help our brothers and sisters who are facing unmet life-threatening issues in their daily lives.  We are trying to help with health care, education, home building, jobs, safe water, money…and more, to improve the quality of their lives! Yet, at the same time, hunger, dispossession, and loss of villages is destroying millions of lives through a movement called ‘Land grab’ of the most fertile lands by African leaders who sell or lease millions of acres to agribusiness corporations, foreign hedge funds, and others with money and sociopathic minds and behavior. India, China, Saudi Arabia, Europeans and Americans are taking control of the most fertile African lands with the blessings and invitation of corrupt national and local leaders who pocket the money. …
