IF YOU KNEW THAT GOD EXISTED YOU WOULD NOT BE A BELIEVER,
YOU WOULD BE A KNOWER AND KNOW THAT WHAT YOU BELIEVED TO BE GOD, YOU IMAGINED.
YOU WOULD THEN BE A DREAMER AND REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GOD AND BELIEVE NO MORE.

My, my how the worm doth turn!!! Hagee was just fine when he called the Catholic church a whore. McCain had no problem with that, being an irreligious person himself. But the thunder of Sinai brought him to his senses. Oh, jumpin' Jehovah, you can't associate the Jewish homeland with the blessing of god via Hitler. McCain couldn't slam the door fast enough on Hagee after his outrageous comment citing the god/Hitler collusion which culminated in the creation of Israel. What hypocrisy!!! Will he also throw Rod (Americans gets off on war!!) Parsley who has offended all Muslims with his war-mongering, Islam hating remarks on how America was created, in part, to eradicate the Muslim religion?Rev Wright seems innocuous when compared to these demagogues. How will McSame court the fundamentalist boobs now? I know...republican legislatures throughout the country will work overtime to place on the November ballots measures to bash Muslim fags by denying them marriage privileges, thereby killing two birds with one stone. The faithful will turn out in squadrons to uphold the sanctity of property rights. Brilliant!!!!

The Presidency of Reagan marked the beginning of the decline of the experiment begun by our founding Fathers. Their vision of America was 180 degrees from the current state of the State. I don't know how many of you read the various right-wing political blogs on Blogstream, most of which have blocked me from commenting, but there is one marked similarity in all of them. They all, without fail, blame the Liberals for all the woes in the Republic. Liberal has become a dirty word as a result of the sustained blather from talk radio which, for the most part, is total right-wing propaganda. In truth, America was founded on Liberal ideas. The concerns for the common man, for personal freedom, for security and protection from the terror of Royalist, elitist suppression, freedom from the oppression of religious tyranny. The founders envisioned a nation of informed, involved citizens who would hold their leaders accountable for their actions. How far we have strayed. A dumbed down nation of consumers has replaced an aware society of informed, politically involved patriots. In such an environment, the Republic cannot endure. Liberals are not responsible for the horrors we are now experiencing as a nation. The blame lies squarely on the heads of the Republican party, the fundamentalist christian church, the corporate owned media, and millions of ignorant, incurious consumers who confuse patriotism with nationalism. Millions of consumers who would rather have some twisted pastor tell them that jesus, whatever that is, loves them and that it doesn't matter what happens in this life because the one awaiting them after death is so glorious. Go shopping, our glorious leader tells you. Don't look at what we are doing, know that national security is our only concern and whatever we do is for your safety. And if you buy the jesus myth, how can you resist the king's entreaties to stay the course, not question his motives, remember, I love jesus, he says, he is my favorite philosopher.

On the eve of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary I can only hope that the famous Reagan Democrats will not fall for the same old crap and vote against their best interest. Clinton is status quo. Clinton is as elitist as it gets. If you Reagan Democrats are just southern racists, please don't vote at all. If you would vote for McCain and not Obama, you are not Democrats that I would want in the party. Did you learn nothing from the rape of 30 years. Did the Liberals lose your jobs? Did the Liberals betray you and lead you into endless war? Are you so stupid and small minded to miss an opportunity to reverse the disastrous course we are on? If you are , get the hell out of the Democratic party and be the stupid republicans you have been for 30 years.

We are at a crucial crossroads. Only a Democrat can change the direction of the Republic and restore some semblance of dignity and honor to a devastated nation. If Clinton is not the nominee, and I hope she is not, you Reagan Democrats please stay home if you are unable to rise above your mindless, fearful prejudices. We don't want you. We don't need you. Ribet.....ribet.

The final nail in the Clinton sarcophagus has been hammered in by one of their closest confidants, Bill Richardson. She can only steal the nomination by fraud and blackmail. The super-delegates have their duty to confirm the will of the voters. The Clinton forces want to insist that some states are more equal than others. They have lost their bid to re-do Florida and Michigan, The rules were clear and the she couldn't help herself from cheating, quite like her husband. She is definitely not as good as she looks. She is as close to the status quo as we dare allow. If she becomes the nominee, the Democratic party will be crushed forever. This is her desire. She and her supporters, especially the inner circle are, at heart, conservative. Although born in Illinois, the Clintons are from Arkansas, not exactly a bastion of liberality. Now we learn of her involvement with "The Family", a far right, evangelical conglomeration of fascist power hungry operatives whose goal is world domination through financial, military, and religious suppression. The media will never allow you to hear this, just as John McSame's idiocy will never be broached by the media which is totally owned and operated by war-profiteering corporations, Westinghouse, General Electric, Viacom, Disney and the likes of Rupert Murdoch, who by the way, gave a fund raising gathering for the dragon lady. She is as dangerous to the Republic as Insane McSame.
You mindless women who would sacrifice the welfare of the Republic merely to have a woman as president are as harmful to the nation as George W. Bush. This is the time for clear headed Patriots whose sole concern is for the Republic and not gender or race. Hillary Clinton is more of the same. America, please try to rise above your bumper sticker mentality and grasp this opportunity to salvage what is left of a once great nation, trashed and dispoiled by 27 years of corporatist pigdom. Thank you, Ronald Reagan, the great disembler.Ribet....ribet.

Get you hip boots and umbrellas out, America,here comes the shit-slinging republican far right. Now that most conservatives realize they have no winners in this horse race their only recourse is to take to the low road, a path they know so well having paved and repaved it for decades.
The appeals to the ignorant among us, the GOP base, are coming at us at an alarming rate and intensity, destined to increase exponentially should Obama win the nomination.The noise machine was quick to pounce on Michelle Obama's statement concerning her pride in America. For the record, she daid...
"For the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country because I feel like hope is making a comeback...not just because Barrack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."

She did not say she was never proud of America, she simply stated she was really proud, a matter of quantity, not quality. The next morning we get Cindy McCain's deliberate distortion of Michelle's statement, no doubt prompted by her hubby's handlers since Cindy has never been known for her opinions on anything. The flap was augmented and spun to distraction by the frothing attack dogs of conservative talk radio, those darlings of the Rovian kennels who take their marching orders from the White House.
Last Friday on the Bill Maher Show we were assaulted by Jack Kingston, a true son of the south, who accused Obama of being un-American because he didn't put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. The idiot should have known that one places one's hand over one's heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He then observes that Obama doesn't wear a "made in China" American flag lapel pin, as if adorning the body with our national symbol automatically imbues one with true patriotism like those magnetic ribbons which displayers claim demonstrates their palpable support for our troops fighting and dying in an unjust and illegal war.
A few days later the Kingston bumbles his way onto the Dan Abrams show to make the same lame claims. As Abrams points out that Kingston is not wearing a pin, the segment evolves into a comedy skit much to the chagrin of the petty plowboy who, had he any sense of propriety should have been embarrassed. He merely whines that he doesn't see the connection between his attack on Obama and his failure to be sporting the much ballyhooed lapel pin. I can only hope that he is not the best Georgia has to offer.
Since the far-right bigots know better than to attack Obama for being black or even "halfrican", they find new fodder by invoking Obama's middle name...Hussein, Hussein, Hussein!! His name is Hussein and his last name rhymes with Osama!! See, America, he's a Muslim plant, an Al-Quaeda operative lying in wait to subdue us.
Sadly, those who buy into this crap have already been subdued by their own ignorance and fear, a fear hand fed them by the Fascist Bushies who have learned from history that fear is the most effective method of influencing and controlling the ill-informed.
Obama is a Christian and anyone who would fear him because of his name is hopelessly mired in the 13th Century.
This won't work this time, Rove, even though you have deceptively urged your minions to refrain from attacking Obama on race or religion for fear of being seen as the racists and bigots you really are.
We are in an electric, high-stakes campaign for the soul and future of the Republic. We will have a Democratic President, presumably Obama, in November. Let us hope that voter fraud will be minimalized and that we will not suffer another "attack" in the form of an October surprise when Bush and Cheney realize their regime is over and that the possibility of accountability will find them in the witness stand and eventually in prison for their numerous crimes.
Only though vigilance and a growing sense of political awareness will we be able to stave off further assaults on our freedoms and the specter of martial law promised us by a cowardly, would be dictator.
Ribet...ribet.
