GOP Hates Jesus' Liberal Un-American Idea

www.addictinginfo.org

OK-Ron Paul- I have some issues with him, but his comments re: US foreign policy, specifically - we should maybe treat other countries the way we'd like them to trat us, (no invading or torture), this is a pretty reasonable idea. BUT not to those of the GOP gathered to choose a leader this weekend in SC. Nope those folks BOOed at the use of the "do unto others" idea. Jesus (H) Christ (on the Campaign Trail)! How? Why? They have no hope-at least no moral hope.

Is Mittens Running to Be Our New MC?

If the new philosophy of the GOP and/or the country is-"Any Body Can Be a Millionaire - so don't tax the rich-because, you know you might be one someday" -is Mitt's real purpose to be, not CEO in Chief , but Game Show Host in Chief?
He's got the hair and the smile, and the smarmy insincere attitude. He's the perfect man in the corporate sponsored game show that is the 2012 election campaign. Who better to promote the persona of "Greed is Good", and the goodness of corporation domination(Aka fascism or oligarchy) than someone uberrich, with a literal million dollar smile, and who believes corporations are people?
I haven't gotten this idea down into the essay form-but since I watch game shows a lot, and someone on Wonkette put this concept out there, tho not in seriousness, I've been mulling it over and it seems to me that this makes sense.
So IF corporations rule the country, AND game shows are either the bread and circuses of the masses (the means to get the poor/normal people to play) because they promote the "you too can win/don't tax the rich" THEN Mit is the perfect GAME SHOW HOST. Or something like that.
Fell free to pick holes in this. It's not presented very well and it would be easier if I could see this whole screen at once, AND I could draw a flow chart. But there u have it, more or less. Feed back please.
Happy first post of 2012. Your turn!

What I Learned on the Net Today

Not necessarily in any order of importance or time seen. and no links.
1-huge oil spill in the Nigeria Delta, by Shell. This is the second one this year, last one was in Aug. and THAT was probably going to take decades to get over.(BBC News)

2- china won Afghanistan's ok to look for oil.(I thought that was OUR oil!?), which will also mean the will be getting what was supposed to be Halliburton's contracts to be re-building all the shit we blew up. Dick Cheney got screwed, I guess...not as smart as he thought there, maybe?
(BBC News)

2.5 - also the, I mean OUR government in Afghanistan is negotiating with the Taliban. So there's reason 3 (whoops 4(WMDs)) for our invasion of them("get rid of jihadist/anti-women extremism). So much for our mission in the middle east. Fail, Fail, Fail AND Fail. Thousands dead, countries and lives in ruins(ours and theirs), and Dick Cheney didn't even get his oil or building contracts.

3 - Anonymous (no relation) hacked a security firm (again)and using "found" credit cards, passwords etc. of military and law enforcement people, donated $1000s to charities like the red cross, save the children, etc.for Christmas. It's a huge mess and embarrassment for a "security firm" to be so hacked, and they don't know what to do...unfortunately for them, Anonymous promises to do more, for Christmas.(Guardian UK & Daily Mail-London)

4- Ron Paul didn't used to like gay people. (Everywhere)

5 OWS says thanks(YouTube & FB)

6 Anonymous says 12-21-12 IS the DAY. But not sure for what-maybe massive info dumps from everyone who is now just a worker, but knows
terrible stuff that EVERYONE should know-they advise taking a USB datadrive thing to work for the next year and downloading info. (Youtube)(not the best source...so who knows.)

7- Newt Gigrich thinks his staff's lack of planing in their epic fail to get (he necessary 10,000 signatures turned into Virginia election people on time(because who knew they had a deadline for something like that?!) is because the US gov. Is exactly like the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor.(Wonkette)(he is a nutjob)But he's not the ONLY one being discriminated against by the liberal government, only Ron Paul and Mittens got their shit turned in on time. (And all those other wingnutaroos think they can run a fucking country!?!) It's like they are running for class pres. In jr. Friggin high. "And I promise to have better lunches and pop machines. So you should vote for me."

8 - the people on wonkette went to war with each other over Ralph Nadar and whether or not the Iraq war was his fault. I've never seen anything like it. Absolutely rabid!)(Wonkette)

That's all I can remember right now.

NADD - whos idea was this anyway?(post in progress-doing research)

Let the Bully Win? I am NOT ok with that!

I spent about an hour reading on a site that porports to have the solution to dealing with a boss who's a bully. So I read through most of the site, defiantly id-d my boss as a bully, the site was spot on re: that description. BUT they really didn't provide aby good solutions to the problem I face. Nor did any of the several OTHER sites I checked out dated 1995-2011. Their bottom line was-give up and find another job. And tho on some levels-yeah-but one another level- why should we let him win? And in the case of Head Start how can anyone walk away from that much evil directed at small children and low income families-not just the employees-but a much larger group of clients!! It's just NOT right!! So what to do? I think I need to devise a plan. Want to help?

Wealth and Corruption vs. Democracy, or What the 1% vs. the 99% Really Means

What bothers me the most about the 1% is not necessarily rich. That's annoying when I think about the people who orchestrated the "crash of '08", also being the ones who then received bailouts AND huge bonuses(at tax payers expense). THAT is annoying. But what really pisses me off is that THOSE people are the ones who now or still run the government. I don't like that the 1% have a voice in Congress and I don't. I don't like that the 1% can spend as much as they want to make sure the government is run so they continue to profit, at the expense of the OTHER 99@ and particularly the bottom 25%, which includes children and old people. I don't like that a country that bills itself as a democracy in run exactly like France before the revolution. It is not right that a true non-profit group like MTPeoples Action has a limit on how much they can spend on "lobbying" and a FOR profit org. like NorthWest Energy and NO limit. I hate that the Supreme Court is so corrupt, and the Congress is corrupt. THAT's what pisses me off. I like democracy. I don't like oligarchy, or fascism, or whatever it is we have now.

thanks to the troops

I just wrote a spectacular post and then LOST it by some special function of my phone or whatever. SO I'll try to recreate it.
I just got an email from one of Hopey's minions asking me to be thankful for our troops, defending our freedoms around the Empire. And although I appreciate that they are out there in the line of fire, I think they are protecting the freedoms of the 1% much more than they are MINE. You know who is REALLY fighting for ME and MY rights? It's the OWS people. They are getting beat and maimed and pepper sprayed for ME, for MY freedom. I haven't had to step into the fray, because they are, in NYC, Seattle, Portland, Oaklan, @ UC Davis, they are fighting, peacefully, for my rights, for justice, for free speech. So I want to say "thank you" to the OWS 'army' around the country and around the world, for protecting MY freedom. THANKS!
