HEED MY WARNING. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE GOP/TEA PARTY. YOU JUST CAN'T TRUST THEM.

   Just because their base of supporters appears to be made up of only uneducated ignorant bigots does not mean that those who are in control of the GOP/Tea Party are equally intelligence challenged

   Keep in mind that it is the rich and powerful  that own and control the conservative movement. They didn't get rich and powerful by being stupid. They have spent lots of money and kept a strict agenda to attain their current status. They have spent years building a political party that obeys them like a lap dog. They have chosen to appeal to the less educated and bigoted in society as their voter base simply because those are the type of people who won't ask questions they will just go along with whatever they're told. So long as the party keeps firing them up with the kind of lies and propaganda that allows them to believe that they are right to be bigots then that base will never leave. 

   The problem they have is that they are faced with an ever shrinking number of supporters. And you need a majority of votes to win elections.
Common sense would tell you that you need to make your party more appealing to a wider group of people.  They have chosen a different method to win elections. Namely voter suppression, gerry mandered districtting, ballot tampering, etc., etc. It seems to have no end.

   In the 2012 elections the GOP got their asses handed to them in a hat. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars and got virtually nothing for it. A big part of the reason that happened was due to the mass turnout of democrats that came out to vote. Numbers that the GOP wasn't counting on. They won't make that mistake again.

   The honchos in the GOP are all too aware of how unpopular the conservative brand is among the rest of America. They know that on a level playing field they don't stand a chance of winning any national elections. That's why they choose to make the playing field as slanted as possible.

   Ever since president Obama was first elected the GOP/Tea Party has tried everything they could think of to dishonor him and make him appear as a failed president. They have failed miserably. Not only that but at the same time they have shown the nation just how petty and spiteful they really are. That they will gladly let America and her people burn to the ground to fulfill their evil agenda.

   They have ended up shooting themselves in the foot with every attempt they have made in their endless indictments of our president. And now they face the ultimate failure. They had bet the farm on Obamacare being a mass disaster. But surprise! It is becoming an incredibly successful program that is surpassing all expectations.

   Now the GOP has a really really big problem. They planned their entire campaign for the 2014 elections on pointing out the failure of the ACA. So what can they do now? The same thing they have always done. Only this time they will amp it up to unbelievable levels. 

   They don't seem to care about how obvious it is to the rest of us that they will use every dirty trick they can to win elections. They use their stooge conservatives on the supreme court to allow mass amounts of money to be given anonymously. They use those same partisan justices to gut laws that protect the voting rights of millions. They pass state laws aimed directly at suppressing the votes of those who traditionally vote democrat. The list goes on and on. But now all bets are off. The GOP is desperate now. They will do whatever it takes to win. They have already proven that there is no level low enough that they won't go to get what they want. They will rig the ballots. They will lie. They will cheat. They will steal. There is nothing that they won't try. 

   That's why I warn to keep your eyes on them. If they succeed we are all in trouble.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE FUTURE? THEN READ THIS.

   I predict that Obamacare will grow at an incredibly fast pace in the coming months with new sign ups far exceeding all goals set.

   I predict that the GOP/Tea Party and their propaganda wing Fox News will have little to say about Obamacare but will now be referring to it as the ACA since they don't want any credit for such a successful program associated with the president

    I predict the GOP/Tea Party and Fox news will be once more ramping up their lies and fact vacant accusations on Benghazi, fast and furious, and the supposed IRS scandal in their never ending attempt to demonize our president.

   Why should you believe my predictions? Well at the risk of sounding like I'm bragging. I have correctly predicted the outcome of the current political situation for some time now. However I must confess, it was pretty easy to do.

   If you want to be able to correctly know the future then the first thing you must do is take any information that you get from Fox news and the GOP and realize that it is made up of between 2% and 7% truth, and between 93% and 98% B.S.

   The GOP and Fox news are firm believers in the theory that if you tell a lie long enough and enough times people will believe it as true.

   That may be so with the ignorant and bigoted throng that make up their base of voters. But most Americans are a lot more intelligent than the GOP thinks they are. Most Americans have witnessed first hand the non-stop lies and fear mongering the conservatives have been dishing up 24/7. And most Americans aren't buying into it.

   Now that the ACA has zero chance of getting repealed the insurance industry has shifted it's efforts away from defeating it and will now be pouring in money for ads that will encourage people to sign up since they want to stay in business and be profitable. That also means a lot less money to the GOP/Tea Party from the industry. And when you don't give the GOP money, the GOP doesn't give a damn about you.

   See how easy that was for me to predict? I knew that most Americans actually do care about each other and want to see everyone getting equal treatment. I knew that Obamacare would be successful and the insurance industry would have to give up their fight against it.

   My second prediction was just as easy. The GOP has spent the past 5 years trying to convince us all that the implementing of the ACA would be the death and destruction of us all. Now that we can all see how successful and welcomed the law is the GOP can no longer keep up their lies and propaganda against it. They can only fall back on their well worn lies about scandals involving the IRS, Benghazi, and fast and furious. All have been shown to be nothing but GOP false accusations but that is all they have to work with.

   I will make one more prediction. I predict that the very unpatriotic behavior by the GOP in their relentless attempts to suppress the voting rights of millions of Americans will be a catalyst that will instead cause more democratic voter turnout than any mid term election ever.

   I believe that the reasons that my predictions are true is that I have faith in the intelligence of my fellow Americans and their ability to see that the GOP/Tea Party doesn't represent them or care about their well being.  

That if we want an America that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people, then ridding our political system of the GOP/Tea Party vermin has to happen now. 

Pretty easy to see if you ask me.

THIS IS OUR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY....DON'T SCREW IT UP...

   Opportunities like this are few and far between. And when they do come around you need to first off recognize them for what they are, and second you need to grab a hold of them and work them for all they're worth.

   The Golden opportunity that I'm referring to is the fact that the progressive liberal Democrats are in a position to virtually dominate the 2014 and 2016 national elections. The GOP has left the door wide open for us to clean their clocks at the polls.

   Even after the blood bath they took in 2012 they still haven't changed a bit of their losing strategy. They continue going forward with the identical failed agenda that proved so destructive to them already. And they just appear to be doubling down on that same flawed agenda.

   After alienating just about every group of voters from minorities and women to young people and the LGBT community the GOP/Tea Party ticket has been left with a threadbare base of old white men and diehard southern bigots. And those old white men aren't regenerating anytime soon.

   And as an added bonus for us the various factions that make up todays Conservative movement, namely the GOP and the Tea Party are at each others throat. Further still you have the Libertarian Party causing its own style of division among the ranks.

   The splintering of these groups alone should cause us to be very optimistic about our potentially being the majority in both houses after the 2014 race. But as the commercials say, "But wait..there's more". The fact that the GOP shut down the government in 2013 and then held America hostage has not been forgotten by the voters. The continuing success of the ACA will show how much the GOP was lying to America. The obstruction they created to make the congress the least productive in American history was there for all to see.

   The current desperation of the GOP is extremely apparent. They have resorted to their worn out old standbys, "Fast and furious", "The IRS scandal", and of course, "Benghazi..Benghazi..Benghazi". They know how pathetically weak they are and there is little they can do to fix it.

   That is why we can decimate them across the board. If we unite as a solid force and give it our all we can finally get to a place where the GOP can't stand in the way of jobs bills or infrastructure bills or the myriad of other legislation that we need to get America back to work. We need to work tirelessly toward that goal. We need to get out there and make sure their voter suppression tactics fail. We need to make sure every single Democratic voter knows just how critical the 2014 elections will be for our future.

   We also have to be aware of the dirty tricks the GOP likes to enlist in their arsenal. Things like ballot rigging and voter intimidation. Remember that they are extremely desperate and have absolutely nothing to lose. They will employ anything they can to win. They have no morals or decency when it comes to winning or stealing an election. They have already proved that many times in the recent past.

   As the clock continues to wind down toward the November election date we will see the GOP engaging in ever more desperate behavior. They will lie bully and scare as many people as possible in every conceivable way. But as I said we can and must put an end to these home grown terrorists that would let America fail for the sake of their elite masters.

   Just imagine the progress we can make as a nation when we have an elected body that is unified in the goal of restoring this great country to its proper standing in the world. It's a wonderful thought. 

   Lets make it happen.

YOU WILL LOVE READING THIS

   If you are a Liberal/Progressive/Democrat, you will absolutely love reading this posting.

   Anybody who pays even a minimum of attention to the political scene these days knows some of the things happening around them.

   To those of us watching, the most apparent thing is the GOP/Tea party in hyper desperation mode.

   The conservative movement has for many years now been quite comfortable representing the wants and desires of the corporations and the elite 1% in America, and quite comfortable accepting the cash they so generously supply to their political puppets.

   Now I'm not implying the left doesn't have it's share of corrupt political figures, of course it does, but there are dramatic differences between the two.

   First of all, the ones doing the corrupting are the ones with the most money, ie. Banks, Wall street, Big oil, etc., and the main interest they have is to keep government from regulating or overseeing them.

   The elite that own those corporations seem to believe that they are above the law, that they are somehow superior to the rest of us, and they should therefore be granted special treatment.

   Their behavior is nothing new, since the human species first began living together in large groups there have been those whose desire to control the lives of others drove them to incredible actions.

   The same holds true today, a small group of individuals feel it is their right to dictate how things should be, that they alone should make the rules.

   That being said, the two major political parties in America are the GOP, and the Democrats. The Democratic party has a platform of equality for all Americans, that we are our brothers keepers, that we are a country blessed with enough riches that nobody should live in poverty, or go hungry.

   The Democrats feel that those who have been the most successful among us, have done so because of the efforts and contributions from all of us, and therefore should share more with the rest.

   The GOP on the other hand aspire more to an attitude of , "I got mine, go get your own".

   They believe that they alone were responsible for their success, and that sharing any of it is unfair.

   With that in mind, the GOP is naturally going to appeal the most to those that don't like the idea of having to share with the rest, and thus, the GOP receives a far greater share of contributions from the elite and corporate world.

  
    Somehow the GOP/Tea party has convinced many Americans to vote against their own self interests, and that the Democrats are trying to destroy their way of living.

   Like I said, the conservatives are in a desperate mode right now, every time they try indicting our President for wrongdoing, it has come 360 degrees to bite them on the ass.

   They swore to make him a failed President, and for 5 years they have done every possible thing they could think of to make that happen, but they only ended up shooting themselves in the foot every single time.

   After revealing to the entire world just how petty and spiteful the GOP is by shutting down the government and holding America hostage, they have now bet the house on the ACA failing .

   But guess what GOP, even with all your tries at sabotaging the ACA, it is now hitting its stride, the web site is working great, people are signing up in huge numbers, the success stories are rolling in, and now you have nothing.

   I normally feel sorry for the loser, at least a little bit, but after all the crap you did in your evil plan to win back voters, I have nothing but contempt for your nasty party.

   I will laugh at your misery, I will toast your demise, there isn't anything bad that can happen to you that I won't enjoy observing.

   Your despicable group of traitors have proven over and over that the only thing you give a damn about is money and power, well, enjoy what you have now, because in 2014 most of your ugly party will be hitting the bricks, and in 2016, the left should be controlling both houses, and the Presidency.

   Even with your gerry mandered districts, your voter suppression, your ballot rigging, your fear mongering, your false accusations, you will not win, you have shown your true nature, that of a morally corrupt group of self centered bigots who don't give a damn about anybody but themselves.

   So keep this in mind, the laughter and cheering you hear every time your party sinks further into oblivion, will be coming from the people who do represent the true America, the Democratic liberal progressives.

AN ODE TO SCOTUS

To administer justice, blindly and fair
Is the reason the 9 of you, sit in that chair
Non partisan actions, is what you espouse
But your actions of late, show there is trouble in your house
You've allowed the elite, to buy all our reps
To pile up their bribes, on congresses steps
You've given your blessings, for every red state
To stifle the vote, of those that they hate
Though 9 of you make up, what we call a bench
There are 5 there among you, who give off a stench
Their conservative bias, is not hard to detect
And the elite that control them, are all they respect
With a third of the power, over our laws
These 5 pawns of money, should give us great pause
They've proved their allegiance, to the GOP name
They disrespect all the people, as though playing a game
They don't want to change, and we cannot teach them
So might I suggest, that we just impeach them

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ARGUING WITH CONSERVATIVES

 Dear GOP/Teabagger,

    I am writing this letter for one special reason. That reason is so that I don't have to deal with your continued whining to "show you the facts" when all I ever do is to show you them. At which point you simply choose to ignore them.

   You seem to be master at the art of self imposed  ignorance. Your ability to deny truth and facts is nothing short of amazing. 

   The way you utter out lies and disinformation you've been spoon fed from Fox news and your less than honorable party spokespeople is very impressive.

   Whether you do this because your bigotry forces you to or you're so mentally challenged that you'll believe anything someone tells you, or you just like being somebodies pawn, I don't really know. But I also really don't give a rats ass.

   If at this point in time you refuse to see what the GOP/Tea party is doing to this nation in your name then you never will. And I thus have no reason to try convincing you of the truth.

   The fact that you hold fast to a party that has been very open about its desire to cause division and chaos in America whether by hook or by crook proves that your devotion to the party line goes way beyond any devotion you have for America.

   I have posted already that the tipping point has been passed. The ACA has become a booming success in spite of the conservative movements numerous attempts to sabotage it. And the GOP has proven to all of America just how petty and dishonest it really is.

   And to the chagrin of the GOP/Tea party the President will once again be seen as the victor for the American people. While the conservatives will continue to be viewed as nothing but worthless do nothing troublemakers whose fear mongering and lies are the trademarks of their existence.

   So, as I have said before, I'm not at all worried about the conservative agenda. Their dismal future is already cast in stone. I will simply sit back have a drink and laugh at the self imposed destruction of the GOP/Tea party.

   And when you ask me for the facts that you will quickly ignore I will instead repost this letter to you. Just so that you understand that I'm not ignoring you. It's just that you aren't worth the time I'd be wasting.

ACT LIKE A CHILD, AND YOU WILL GET TREATED LIKE A CHILD

   If you think that you have heard the GOP/Tea party bitching before, just watch them now.

   The decision by Harry Reid  to change the way things get done in the Senate is going to make the conservatives go ape sh*#.

   After putting up with the outrageous conduct of the minority in the Senate, and having to deal with their fillibustering agenda on every single issue, Harry Reid has finally done something he had been threatening to do if the conservatives continued to obstruct things,  he changed the rules so that a simple majority vote was all that was needed to approve Presidential nominees.

   Of course the GOP doesn't like this new rule at all because it is their main tool in their obstruction  agenda, their only reason for being there.

   For 5 long years Reid has put up with the GOP abuse of the fillibuster, and now that they have pushed their abuse too far, the Senate speaker has finally done what he told them he would do.

   Kudos Harry Reid, you did the right thing, the GOP has blocked so much progress that could have been accomplished, that they more than deserved a dressing down, and you gave them one.

   The GOP/Tea party have been acting like a child with a squirt gun, you tell them to stop squirting the dog with it, yet they continue on relentlessly in their abuse of the beast, finally, the only thing you can do is to take the squirt gun away.

   So thank you Harry Reid, you did the right thing, now we will see some progress being achieved, now that the GOP has been properly disciplined.

TAR SAND OIL EXPLAINED, AND WHY THE GOP LOVE IT

   Though not much in the press lately, the tar sands issue is still a hotbed of debate, let me explain why.

   Tar sands oil is located in Canada, it is a huge supply of oil, but it is also some of the dirtiest and most difficult to refine oil there is.

   The owners of that oil wish to build a pipeline from Canada, all the way through the United States, down to the Gulf of Mexico.

   They want this for two reasons, one is that they need the refineries to process that oil, and two, they need the ports located there to ship the refined oil overseas.

   The following are the selling points that the GOP give for allowing the pipeline to go through.

1. It would create thousands of jobs for Americans.

2. It would make America less energy dependent on other nations.

   Here are the reasons given for opposing the build.

1. Any jobs created by the pipeline build would be temporary for the most part, when the build was complete only a handful of jobs would remain.

2. The Tar sand oil is very dirty, and difficult to refine, aside from the excess pollution it would create to refine it, if a spill from a ruptured line would occur, (which it has already in some places) then the mess is far worse than regular oil spills, and much more toxic.

3. All of the refined oil would be sold overseas, not in the U.S., so it would not reduce Americas energy needs a bit.

4. The ability of the pipeline would allow current sellers of Canadian oil to jack up prices they charge the U.S., estimates are that we would experience a 40 cent a gallon increase in gasoline prices here.

   The bottom line is that not only would we not get long term jobs for Americans, but that we would be putting our environment at risk, and paying more at the pump.

   So why does the GOP push for the pipeline? 

   Why does the GOP do anything,  it's because the owners of that oil are names that are all too familiar to those of us paying attention, one of the biggest being Koch industries.

   And as the bought and paid for lap dog of the elite corporate 1%, the GOP is only doing what it was told to do, to get the pipeline approved at any cost.

   So although the issue isn't prominent in the current news cycle, it will not go away, not when there are billions of dollars that the rich can exploit at our expense.

VINDICATION IS HERE or (goodbye tea party)

   Can you feel it? That certain uneasy feeling that you are about to be forced to eat your own words, to have to admit that everything you've been spewing out of your mouth is nothing but bullshit. That you have once again been played the fool by your own party? You know, the party that told you to say that the ACA would fail miserably.

    I'm just kidding of course, conservatives never admit they were wrong, hell, if they did, then that's all they would be doing, no, they just move on to something else to bitch and whine about, as long as that doesn't get anything accomplished that is.

    With current news reports of insurance company scams nationwide being the overwhelming cause of people getting their policies cancelled, and supposed dramatic rate increases, my guess is that the conservatives will need to find new bitching points. And with the ever advancing ease that people are able to compare their options, they are being amazed at how much less they are going to have to pay for health insurance that actually has some quality to it, not the crap they were being sold before.

   With every passing day the success stories of Obamacare keep growing exponentially, and just knowing that the conservatives are cursing and grinding their teeth over it gives me more pleasure than I can convey.

    As I have said before, the point of no return has been passed, the GOP/Tea party are a wreck, maybe a train wreck, hahahahahaha.... Anyway, as I was saying, the GOP/Tea party bet the farm, and lost, every election from now through 2016 will be an exercise in failure and humiliation for them, and though I would normally try to empathize and give some type of comfort to the losing side, to this bunch I say, "good, you got what you deserved, you self righteous, self centered ignorant bigots".

    And just so you know, in your honor, I will whistle a chorus of Dixie every time I think of your pathetic asses.

RELAX AND ENJOY THE SHOW

  

    If there still remains anybody who thinks that the GOP/Tea party scandal search teams will somehow bring about the demise of either the ACA, or the President himself, do yourself a big, big favor, stop listening to those who would wish it possible, it isn't.

    The fear mongering, lie spreading, truth twisters known as the GOP/Tea party have been trying to nail President Obama on anything and everything since before he even took office, and they have yet to prove any wrongdoing on his part, but not for lack of trying, just for lack of culpability.

    The GOP/Tea party have shown everybody in the USA what they represent, a group of narrow minded bigots whose self imposed ignorance figures in perfectly with the way they would like to run this country, by forcing their so called morals and beliefs down the throats of every person in America.

    After being exposed as the American taliban that they are, the Tea party has even resorted to villifying those in their party who don't agree with their treason, who don't want the total destruction of the government, who don't fall in line like good little Nazi's.

    The GOP/Tea party has lost most of its support from businesses that now look to the more moderate Democratic party, this will continue because the far right will not stop its insane behavior until it is dead and buried, which it is fast approaching.

    So don't be upset when you see inflammatory articles touting Presidential scandal, that's just the death throes you're hearing from a small contingent of misguided racists, bigots, and ignorant idiots who are grasping at imaginary straws.

    The ACA (Obamacare) will become an overwhelming success, tens of millions of Americans will get healthcare for the first time, many more millions will see their insurance premiums reduced, at the same time that their coverage improves, and all the lies and scare tactics that the GOP/Tea party have been spreading will be exposed as the fearmongering propaganda that it is.

    Oh, and one more thing we'll see is the vast reduction of outrageous profiteering that the insurance industry, drug companies, and others have been strangling this nation with for decades. BTW, if you haven't figured it out by now, that is exactly why the ACA has been fought against so vehemently.

    So as I have said before, relax, sit back and watch the idiots run and scream in their futile attempt to stop the inevitable, it is very entertaining, and a well deserved end to those unpatriotic douchebags that would let America burn to the ground.

REMEDIAL LOGIC FOR CONSEVATIVES or (THINKING 101)

   When emotion rules your every thought, logic has a way of  disappearing completely, thus leading you to irrational and often mistaken conclusions.

   In the accepted method of thinking properly, one should gather all criteria available on the subject they are pondering, investigate all viewpoints on said subject, study the data available as well as any historical significance that subject might have had, and only then, they should form an opinion, one that takes all things into consideration, and is brought forth in as honest a manner as possible.

   This is not being done by GOP/Tea party voters.

   If the conservative voters were actually trying to find out the truth about what they are being told, then they could easily check the facts for their validity, but they are not doing so.

   The proof lies in the continued support given to the outrageous actions and dishonest statements that party reps. such as Ted Cruz and his gang of anti American traitors, support that encourages their destructive behavior.

   If the average conservative invested a little time and effort into the search for the truth, then they would not only reject the current GOP/Tea party actions, they would fight against what they're doing to America.

   To conservatives I ask, turn off Fox news, don't listen to Limbaugh, Oreilly, Hannity, or the others, turn on PBS, go on your computer and search out non biased sites, non partisan news pages.

   After you've made a legitimate effort, sit back and relax, then look at all the facts logically, try to be pragmatic, because when you look at the facts without spin on them, it should reveal a great deal, and it will probably surprise you, try it, you've got nothing to lose.

CRIMINAL CONSERVATIVES

   The recent actions of the GOP/Tea party have made it easier than ever to determine which of the two types of conservative you are.

   Of course when I say recent I mean the previous 5 years with an emphasis on the last 1 or 2.

   There are only two choices for you to pick from. Because if you still support the GOP/Tea party and its representatives after they have overwhelmingly proven just how diabolical and unpatriotic they are, how willingly they will throw this nation under the bus, how casually they will destroy the economy, and how unapologetically they will lie, deceive, and spread false rumors while subverting any and all election processes America was founded upon, then you MUST be one of the following:

   A: Ignorant
   If you are so blind deaf and dumb as to not have witnessed the incredibly obvious outrageous acts that the GOP/Tea party have attempted since 2009 and especially in 2013 then you have no place in voicing an opinion regarding ANY political issue. 

   Your uninformed and intelligence vacant position is not only unproductive and non helpful it is  very detrimental in any progress that this country might actually attain.  You should either get informed or just S.T.F.U.

   B. Criminal
   If you have actually been paying attention to the GOP/Tea party behavior I have listed above, and yet you continue to support them and their tactics then that means that you agree with them that "the ends justify the means".

   In the fulfillment of their treasonous agenda all bets are off. Any methods used whether legitimate or not are fair game. Regardless of how many Americans suffer from it's effects.

   Not only is that type of behavior anti-American, anti-democracy,and morally reprehensible it is also treasonous. Which makes it not only disgusting but also makes it illegal.

   If you vote for and support those who would take a solemn oath to preserve, protect, and defend this nation against all enemies foreign or domestic and those that you voted for were openly breaking those vows and yet you still support them that would be called criminal facilitation. And that would render you the same as them. A Criminal.

   So you see your choices are conveniently few. Are you an ignorant conservative or a criminal conservative?

STAND ASIDE, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE HERE

   OK, I'll probably take a lot of heat for this one, but W.T.F., that never stopped me before,

   I have been criticized more than usual lately by mostly Libertarians, they say things like,"Obama is forcing healthcare on this country", and, "Obama wants to financially ruin America", and, "Both party's are only a smokescreen to hide what's really going on".

   These are but a few of the responses I receive (unrequested) when I present any positive news of our Presidents actions, or negative news of the GOP/Tea party,

   The Libertarian ideal is indeed a very enticing scenario, minimal government intrusion, freedom from societal limitations, a true Utopia, but just like Utopia, it is unrealistic, and no matter how hard we close our eyes, or how many times we click our heels together, it just would not work.

   It is true that we have had a few Libertarians as President in the past, but that was over 150 years ago, in an era that was totally different from today.

   The complexity and massive intricacies of modern society make the idea of the "every man for himself" philosophy, and the "you do your thing and I'll do mine" mantra an absurd pipedream.

   Yes the idea of pure freedom is appealing,and yes the thought of everybody seeing to each others needs is a pleasant thing, but we live in a world of fellow human beings, and one thing about human beings is, we are a selfish species, we will look out for numero uno , and we will reach out to help others in varying degrees, but 99 times out of 100, that will happen only after our own needs and wants are satisfied.

   I am not condemning humanity for that, far from it, it's survival of the fittest and all that stuff, and I know there are people who do truly care about the well being of their fellow humans, but to count on every person in this nation to "do the right thing", is about as far fetched as you can get.

   And no matter how pleasant a place America would be in the Libertarian world, it just isn't going to happen, and that forces us to deal with the realities of today, and to accept them as they are, or to change them in a way that has some chance of being successful, not by pretending that somehow we can turn the clock back and return to an era long since past. 

   If it were a matter of the balance of power remaining static, then fine, chase your pipedream, I hope you catch it, but unfortunately, that is far from what's happening today.

   There exists a party that is under the control of the elite 1% of this nation, and in that party lies a sub party that acts as a force bent on bringing our nation to its knees.

   Those would be respectively, the GOP, and the Tea party.  The GOP partnered up with the Tea party for two reasons, they needed to expand their ever shrinking base of supporters, but mostly, they are both funded by the elite people and corps. in America, and have a similar agenda.

   As recently witnessed, the Tea party is an out of control group of misguided bigots, who are now running roughshod over the GOP pussies that are too scared to oppose them, they value their job a lot more than they value America.

   Now these GOP pussies and the terrorist acting Tea party puppets all took an oath, an oath that they are now breaking, making them dishonorable traitors, and they wear the title proudly.

   So while the Libertarian party would just sit back and watch the show, there is a drastic need for those who recognize what the GOP/Tea party is doing to step up to the plate and defeat these treacherous bastards, and to stifle them permanently.

   So while I understand that the Democratic party is flawed, and it too has its own corruption to deal with, it is at least fighting "FOR" the average American, not "AGAINST" them, and President Obama has proven over and over that he is trying to better our lives, not enslave us.

  Every progressive thing suggested is shot down by the GOP/Tea party, they would rather see America burn to the ground than to see our President succeed, and if you can't see past your face enough to realize that, then I have no use for your views or critiques, please keep them to yourself.

   Some of us are trying to get something accomplished.

THEY WON'T TRY THAT AGAIN

   So far my predictions have all been spot on, I said that the government shutdown would not lead to a default by the U.S., because President Obama would not allow it to happen, and it didn't.

   I really don't deserve much credit for that prediction because as I have stated over and over, every time the GOP/Tea party attacks President Obama, they have, without fail, ended up only making themselves look more pathetic and mean.

   That is why I refer to him as "Barack Houdini Obama", because just when it appears as though he is going to be snagged by the GOP scandal game, he quickly sidesteps their imaginary accusations. and they once again shoot themselves in he foot.

   Of course it helps tremendously that the reason they are unable to pin anything on him, is because he isn't guilty of their charges.

   So now, with the government re-open, many are concerned that we will just go through this same B.S. game again in 3 months, when the debt ceiling will need to be raised again, but I'll tell you right now, don't give it a second thought, you haven't a need to worry for even a second, here's why.

   In the next 3 months the website troubles that are currently causing problems for people to sign up for the ACA  will have been fixed, and Americans will sign up in mass numbers, proving that healthcare is an important issue with the public, and that they like what is being offered, to the chagrin of the GOP.

   Also, this last folly of Ted Cruz and his small band of extortionists has shown all America that the Tea party is nothing more than terrorist rebels, who would let this nation burn to the ground while they sang Dixie and roasted marshmallows in the fire.

   But the public also saw regular GOP members who went along with their rebel contemporaries, whether from conviction, or cowardice of their getting primaried, either way, what America saw was a political party that held this entire nation and everyone in it, hostage to their demands.

   The damage done to the conservative movement was immense, so much so that the Republican brand may not survive, and if it does, it will not have any resemblance to what it was.

  So with these things in mind, the GOP won't even think about rocking the boat again just months before the midterm elections, where previously it was a shoe in that their gerrymandered districting would allow them to continue to hold the house, but after all the dust has settled, it is being predicted that they may lose control of the house.

   Be assured that in the coming months that the GOP/Tea party will continue with their lies and false accusations, but even they aren't so stupid as to try a shutdown again.

WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED? READ THIS

  

To all those Americans who experienced any suffering due to the GOP induced government shutdown, those of us who who believe in an America without a need for terrorist type tactics empathize with you, and thank you, we are truly sorry that you were made unwilling sacrificial pawns of the GOP's radical Tea party wing. We wish for you a speedy recovery from any damage suffered, and a complete healing in time.

To those Americans who consider themselves conservatives and vote GOP, I can only assume from the polls that MOST of you did not want, nor approve of this shutdown, and that most of you did not like the idea of America being taken hostage by ANY party, for ANY reason. The vast majority of you I'm sure love this nation as much as any democrat, liberal, progressive, or independent does, and that you also understand that America was founded on principles that majority rules will dictate how we perpetuate this country forward, not allowing a small group of individuals to threaten to destroy our way of life if they don't get their way. Though they scream and shout that they are the true patriots, their words and actions are exactly what the founding fathers fought against, they are a cancer to your party, and they will be silenced, if you are at all concerned in the health and survival of the GOP as a integral part of the American political process, then you must rid yourselves of this cancer, and take your rightful place where you belong, alongside real Americans, fighting for what you believe in, not degenerating into a group of traitors bent on destroying our nation. America needs to have a voice for those who adhere to conservative values, but not from one holding a gun to its head.

To those tea party loyalists, I believe you love America, but you are not abiding by the American ways that have guided this nation for well over 200 years, your radical agenda does not promote the ideals set forth by our founding fathers, and the actions that are being implemented by your elected representatives are anything but patriotic. You may not like the way the government is being run, you may not like the current leadership in government, you have the right to feel that way, however, you DO NOT have the right to circumvent the American political process of changing things. You DO NOT have a right to threaten America with economic destruction and chaos simply because you are unhappy with the way things are. The actions and agenda of the Tea party have no place in this great nation, and as thus, the tea party will soon be swept away like so much dirt on the floor. Take yourselves away from this radical posturing and rejoin the ones who share your beliefs, but adhere to the American methods of change, voting.

AN ODE TO THE KOCH BROTHERS

You are not noble, you are not wise
You two brothers, are just despicable guys
Though you have lots of money, you are lower class
You're American traitors, and can both kiss my ass
You think you are kings, princes or dukes
But all you two are, are miserable pukes
You have all your gold, your silver and riches
Yet you both remain, two worthless bitches
You lack all integrity, style and grace
And it makes us all sick, to look at your face
You've paid for a party, who likes to serve tea
You try to control them, but it's easy see
You've created a monster, and it's turning on you
And that monster won't stop, whatever you do
It hates all it sees, and just wants to kill
Things that once pleased you, and gave you a thrill
The monster now threatens, what you hold so dear
An economy ruined, is your biggest fear
A second depression, much worse than the last
Your empire crumbling, your wealth fading fast
You might have regrets, for the misery you brung
But we will be cheering, the day you're both hung

WE'RE DOWN TO THE FINAL 5 IN "THE MOST HATED" (satire,sort of)

   Well, it has been an exciting competition, with a very impressive group of contenders, but it has now come down to the 5 finalists for the most hated.

   All of these finalists have garnered enormous amounts of hatred from all corners of America, but only one can hold the title of "Most hated". 


Michele Bachmann is a longshot to win overall, but her recent support of Ted Cruz has bolstered her hatred ratings across America, and in D.C.








Ted Cruz is a front runner to be the most hated, his ability to deceive all the people all the time seems to continue working on his weak minded supporters, but to the non-tea party public, he is just a vile and evil self serving narcissist, who will gladly allow this nation to melt down.









John Boehner has not only amassed large amounts of hatred from Democrats, but has also managed to garner a tremendous amount from his own party, And along with most of America's ire, he would appear to be the one to take the title.




 
The Tea party have a very special type of hatred most Americans hold for them,the same type they hold for any terrorist organization, they are bigots, racists, and un-American fools who are like sheep that let themselves be led to slaughter.






And finally we have the Koch brothers, Though usually found hiding under a rock, these two self appointed rulers of the United States have been ultra busy in employing their destructive and sinister agenda all across America, and especially in Washington D.C. They are perhaps the most evil, despicaple, and vile creatures to ever shame the name "American". They are the odds on favorites to win the title of "The most hated".

   There you have it, the top 5 degenerates money and power can corrupt, together they represent a large portion of what is wrong in America, and each of them are very deserving of being named most hated, but only one can win, who might that be? I will let you know when and if this ever ends.

AN URGENT MESSAGE TO MODERATE CONSERVATIVES

   If there are any sane, intelligent, reasonable, and patriotic Conservatives left in America, please come back to reality and do something about your political party.

   If you value the integrity, honor, and reputation of the Conservative movement, please reel in the lunatics that are currently claiming that title.

   If you would like the Conservative movement to continue as a viable political entity in this land, then please oust the un-American  traitors that are committing despicable acts in your party's name.

   If you honestly love this country, please contain those in your party who openly seek to destroy any semblance of government in America.

   The American(?) Tea party has not only hijacked your party, it is using extortion to keep the entire body of your elected legislators to agree with their outrageous demands.

   Your elected congressmen and senators are too scared of a small group of radicalized zealots who are funded by the Koch brothers and other mega wealthy sources, for them to do anything but fall in line, or they risk getting primaried at home.

   The Tea party has shown over and over that it is more than willing to destroy everything around it if they can't get their way, including America itself.

   They give lip service about being patriotic, while at the same time they are involved in actions that totally undermine the democratic process that this nation was founded on.

   Those Tea party individuals are under the control of the most elite 1/10th of 1% of the richest members of our society, and they don't even know it.

   So it's up to you, the moderate, well informed conservative to step up and reign in those that are destroying not only your party, but America as well

   The Democratic left and Conservative right have always had a balancing effect on each other, and this nation has grown and prospered throughout the years with that in place, but these Tea party terrorists threaten to dismantle every part of this country, and if they are not stopped soon, the GOP will feel the wrath of the nation and cease to exist.

   The normally apathetic of you must rise up and defend your values and beliefs, do not let the Tea party rule over you, they are the American taliban, and they will be defeated, it's up to you to decide whether or not the entire GOP goes with them.

ULTIMATE HATE

   While watching Ted Cruz spewing out lies on T.V., I recognized an emotion building inside of me that up to now could only be triggered by seeing and listening to 1 of 2 people, and I use the term "people" in the broadest sense of the word.

   Those two are George Bush Jr., and Dick Cheney.

   Even the utter loathing and disgust I experience  at the likes of Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, Michele Bachmann, Rush, Bill, Sean, or the Fox news channel can't stir the type of complete and total hatred I feel toward those two murderous traitors to America.

   And trust me, that says a lot.

   But now it appears that a third vile and unholy monster has arisen from the slime to test my ability to forgive and empathize .

   I recognized that old feeling after hearing Cruz spewing out his evil lies for about 5 minutes, as soon as I was imagining how enjoyable it would be if I could just reach my hand through the T.V., grab Cruz by the throat, and punch him in the face for about a week and a half.

   These are not emotions I enjoy feeling, I try very hard to not hate, but when I see somebody like Cruz, or Bush, or Cheney, destroying our nation in the fulfillment of their self serving evil agenda, I just don't seem to have any control of it.

   However, unlike the continual angst and anger I feel toward Bush and Cheney's ability to escape the justice they have coming to them (so far), I find the pure hatred that Cruz stirs in me, can be overcome by sitting back and watching the total destruction of the entire GOP that Cruz has effected.

   The pure pleasure I get from seeing the GOP/Tea party imploding into obscurity is enough to bring me back to optimism and good spirits.

   Just imagining the utter turmoil and infighting that is taking place throughout the conservative party brings a smile to my face.

   And I believe that when America finally hangs Bush and Cheney as the traitors they are, then I will finally be rid of this ultimate hate.

THANK YOU TED CRUZ AND YOUR TEA PARTY

   I have great news for all the folks on the left, you can now relax and unwind a while.

   Do you know that feeling of anger you get when hear some douchebag like Limbaugh or Hannity spewing out lie after lie?

   How about that feeling of total frustration you get when trying to explain anything logical and honest to a Tea Party ignoramus?

   Are you disgusted when you hear that the house GOP's are voting to repeal Obamacare for the umpteenth time?

   Does the word filibuster now make you sick?

   Are you tired of being treated like a complete idiot by the GOP and its ridiculous blame game?

   Well these few things I just listed, along with the many, many, many more despicable actions that the GOP has perpetuated can now be viewed in a new light by the Liberal/Progressive/Democratic voters.

   The reason we can take a different stance on all these GOP transgressions, is because Ted Cruz and the Tea party have gone so far over the limit with their absurd behavior, that conservatives can't even stand each other anymore.

   Even the most thick headed ignorant Republican can't help but see what a destructive and useless entity that party has become.

   The GOP/Tea party has managed to alienate just about every voting group in America, and the few inbred bigoted racists they have left as a base don't have the votes to elect a dog catcher.

   The complete implosion of the conservative party is a self inflicted event, they have managed to pull off something those of us on the left only dreamed about doing,destroying the lie machine known as the GOP.

   Whatever rhetoric and accusations that they spew out now are nothing but wasted breath, they do not possess one ounce of credibility in the eyes of the nation, and any trust of them has long since gone away.

   So, short of some earth shaking scandal involving every democrat in America, the left will easily win every national election for the foreseeable future.

   That is why I say, relax, enjoy the show, the GOP is very entertaining when they're like this, pretty funny too, I can hardly stop laughing at them and their televised squabbling, just like a reality show.

   But above all, remember to thank personally those who made this dream come true, Ted Cruz, and the American Tea party.
