My comment:

Years ago (and I mean "years ago") my aunt self-inflicted an abortion in her bathtub and bled to death in an ambulance while it

searched for a hospital with an empty bed. There were so many self-inflicted abortions resulting in emergencies the hospitals were turning away women because there was not enough room.

I was only about five years old (my brothers were much younger and probably don't remember) but I remember the event very well. One of my earliest memories. It was 100% illegal at the time but the prohibition did nothing to stem women from aborting their babies. There was also a big industry of quacks infecting women with back alley abortions. It was an epidemic.

It's a shame women do this but in all parts of the world, for all the history of mankind, women have self-aborted regardless of religious taboo or laws enacted. Today, the number of Muslim women dying from self-inflicted abortions is horrific. Religion is killing Muslim women in many different ways.

Religion is killing American women as well. Just another example demonstrating how little difference there is between Christians and Muslims.

Enjoy Your Victory BurnBots. Well Deserved. But don't Get Your Hopes Up

    Now Join With Hillary In Beating Back Hatred

 

Congratulations to Bernie Sanders. There is nothing wrong with his progressive message. The problem is with his followers. Far too many republican plants within the BurnBots.

     I would hope Hillary will listen to the progressive messages of both Bernie and Elizabeth. I think she has already but you can't tell a BurnBot that because they are so focused on the single issue of Wall Street. True 99'ers. That's good. I’m a big supporter of the 99’er movement.

I'm sure the BurnBots are ecstatic with the win in New Hampshire but I was looking at the total delegate count and it shows Hillary with 392 delegates and Bernie with 42.

     That story is not being reported and the BurnBots are ignoring it.

     Within the next couple of weeks Hillary could have more than a 1,000 delegates and Bernie will still be under 100. That is a reality all Democrats must grapple with. We must start coming together.

     Hillary's real strength is coming up very soon. I predict Bernie will endorse Hillary in about a month or he will become a spoiler like Ross Perot and go independent. If he goes independent, Democrats will lose the White House.

     The only thing worse than a bad loser is a bad winner. Honor Bernie and his BurnBots when they are vanquished. The party of hate (Republicans) is gathering their forces and they will be unified.

     The party of Hate? Yea, I’m afraid so. When was the last time any Republican advocated for anything that helps people? Almost everything Republicans advocate, ultimately harms Americans and benefits just a few.

     Getting rid of  healthcare for twenty million Americans with no replacement isn’t very people friendly. Wanting to hand Social Security funds for Wall Street to manage will eventually harm millions of Americans when the greedy wolves steal everything for themselves and leave old people living in tent cities. Republicans are not friendly to common Americans.

It just shows how Republican hate for Democrats is more powerful than loving Jesus or

themselves. In the last election their hate for a black liberal Democrat was so strong they were willing to elect a non-Christian destined for Hell according to their own religious belief system. It is just amazing to witness.

     We will need Bernie and his followers to defeat the kind of people who support Trump and Cruz. Bernie and his followers are the good guys. Never forget that.

     A lot of good decent Republicans are good people too, except they have allowed themselves to hate everything including themselves.

They will flock to the Polls to defeat a Liberal Democrat and it won’t matter who their candidate is. They haven’t voted FOR anyone in a very long time.

They just vote against people they hate.

Wheaton will not fire professor over Muslim worship comments, but she will leave college

Which Religious Belief is More Believable?

My comment:

One theory says Muslims and Christians worship the same God. It could mean simply that God has many names and many definitions, however, it is all the same God. Except for the Jews according to some thinkers. Jews don't believe in the Trinity any more than Muslims do. According to some, Jews don't worship the same God as Christians do, just like Muslims. Hmmmmmm!

Christians believe God got Mary pregnant by magic and along came Jesus. Cute story. It's all because fornicating is such a dirty business and nobody wants to believe Mary got shagged in order to make the pure and sinless Jesus.

Conception without sex presents a problem though when it goes head to head with the Trinity. Since Jesus is God, Jesus had to impregnate his own mother in order to conceive himself. Now that is a thought worth considering. Let me see. Jesus impregnated his own mother or Muslims and Christians worship the same God. Which one makes more sense? The one with less magic is the idea I choose.

Socialist Fears are Alive and Well

Socialist Fears are Alive and Well

     Some Bernie supporters have suggested distributing pamphlets to overcome misconceptions about Socialism/Communism. Good idea but I would love to see the reaction from Republicans when those pamphlets are distributed in different places. Can you imagine the reaction when someone tries to distribute pamphlets extolling the virtues of Socialism at public schools?

     It will take more than a pamphlet to overcome 50 years of propaganda against Socialism/Communism. Baby boomers remember nuclear drills and hiding under school desks. They recall Nikita Khrushchev pounding a shoe on a desk at the UN promising to bury us. 98,000 died fighting Socialism/Communism in Korea and Vietnam. Memories of 10,000 nuclear weapons threatening to kill all of us, prevail. Boomers are still alive and they vote.

     Many have taught their children to fear Socialism. The word, in Republican minds, is not synonymous with a perceived utopia's in Europe. It is still an evil word. Socialist fears defeated Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry and it will defeat Bernie.

     Fear of Socialism is stronger than racial, gender or sexual orientation fears. Hillary will be accused of being a socialist but she will never call herself a Socialist the way Bernie has. Nobody in America, wanting to be elected to political office, proclaims themselves a Socialist. Bernie is a rare exception. It is still political suicide to embrace that mantra. Being a Socialist won’t come into vogue for another twenty years, if at all.

     Fear of Socialism will not subside until the Baby Boomers die off and disappear from the political scene. Until then, Bernie Sanders is a lightning rod guaranteeing a political victory for Republican Fascists. Nothing will bring out more Republicans to vote than the fear of Socialism. It’s just a simple fact of modern day America.

     The fear of Socialism has its roots in the Cold War days and there is validity in those fears. However, the Cold War has been over for a while. Yet the fears so carefully manufactured in the Cold War years still persist.

Some People Own Guns So They Can Kill Americans

People Have A 'Fundamental Right'

To Own Assault Weapons, Court Rules

By Gary Donovan Snay

My comment:

Home defense is quite simple. Buy a revolver, tuck it under your mattress, and wait for the one in a million chance someone will break into your house when you are present. Then you get to kill someone. Your kid can still find the gun and shoot you or his little sister. If you get depressed, you can still blow your brains out because that only takes one shot. If you beat up your wife, she can get the gun and kill you. Home defense is really simple.

What's not so simple is your desire to own an assault rifle, with a large capacity magazine so you can kill officers of the law or members of the military. It is equally unnerving that you think the day will come when you will have to kill fellow Americans because you disagree with some of them. In other words, your desire to own military style weapons goes way beyond home defense. It’s more rooted in your paranoia.

It is also disturbing if you are plotting and planning to overthrow our government. Wanting to kill fellow Americans and overthrow our government is sufficient cause to subject you to a psychological evaluation and determine if you are a danger to yourself and to others. Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to own a BB gun, let alone an assault rifle.

The point is, this gun thing has gone way overboard. I am not comfortable with marginal personalities running around with assault rifles when I am with people I love. I am not armed and I have a right to feel secure in my surroundings without worrying about a stranger, dressed up in a paramilitary outfit, opening up full automatic and killing me or my loved ones by accident. It happens all the time.

Considering how strange and mentally challenged a lot of these gun nuts are, the chances are pretty good one will go crazy if someone provokes him in some way. There is a simple rule in play. More guns, mean more gun deaths. More crazy people with guns, mean more gun deaths.

Especially if those guns are in the hands of anyone who wants one. Anyone with a bad attitude. Anyone with a short fuse. Anyone fresh from an argument with their wife. Anyone who decides it might be fun to kill some innocent people. Plenty of that going around.

Another example of people blaming government for abuses by corporations.

Jobless rate below 5 percent as payrolls rise in January

My comment:

Complaining about corporate practices to maximize profits and screw the American worker then blaming the government is misguided. Will Obama make you happy if you can have a full time job for $2.00 an hour? A Republican will let that happen. A Democrat won’t.

All you do is blame the government for what corporations are doing to you. Screwing the American worker in order to increase profits is what corporations do. American companies screw Chinese labor for increased profit and they won't be satisfied until they can do the same to American labor.

When labor costs get as low as what the Chinese are paid, manufacturing will come back to America. I'm sure if you were paid like a Chinese coolly, you would be trying to blame the government as well.

It's not Obama's fault if corporations want to lower your wages, eliminate your lunch hour, deny health coverage, get rid of work place safety regulations and not pay unemployment insurance so when you get discarded, there is no safety net.

It's not Obama's fault if corporations pay you so little you have to go on welfare to feed yourself and lean on the American tax payer to subsidize the wage you’re not getting from corporations. It's not Obama's fault corporate greed prevents you from making a living.

You have been manipulated into an unwarranted love of corporations. Corporations don't love you. Corporations will screw you every time. Corporations will bribe government officials, who are supposed to protect you, into allowing corporations to use you and discard you when it suits them. You know, something like the Chinese labor market.

Government is the only entity capable of protecting you from the abuses of big business. Corporations have successfully made you believe they are good and government is bad. Unions are bad and they are good. Low wages, no benefits and no protections is good and anyone trying to prevent these things from happening is bad.

Nobody else will help you from the ravages of greedy profit seeking corporations whose only obligation is to their shareholders. American corporate shareholders are oblivious to the abuses practiced by their company on millions of workers in foreign countries.

As long as the shareholder gets their dividend check, they could care less if some twelve-year-old kid in the Philippines is working twelve hours a day for fifty cents an hour in a sweatshop with no breaks. American corporations, will do that to you and the only protection you have is your government. Assuming of course your government isn't bribed to allow excessive corporate greed.

A lot of you people need to get your act together. Your anger towards the government is misguided. The government is trying to help and protect you and all you can do is blame Obama and the government for the things corporations are doing to you. You people need to stop being so easy to manipulate by corporations and stop your unwarranted love of an entity whose sole purpose is to maximize their profits at your expense.

Can’t you see unregulated corporations are trying to turn us into China and they are doing it with your help?

Attacking Hillary About Her E-mail Account Is an Attack on America

Another Republican Attack on America

From a story located at:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/%E2%80%98she-sets-a-standard-that-lesser-mortals-can-only-dream-of%E2%80%99-new-hillary-emails-drop/ar-BBoSK1t?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=UP97DHP

My Comment:

This is such an out of proportion issue. If people want to go after Clinton about her private e-mail server they need to go after Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and most of the members of Congress who have done same thing in the past or currently do the same thing now.

It’s analogous to when the most belligerent and aggressive Republicans were going after Clinton about his extra marital affairs when they were having their own affairs at the same time. The hypocrisy of Republican behavior goes beyond the ridiculous.

Many of the most boisterous Republicans about Clinton’s E-mail server need to take down their own private server before they are exposed for the hypocrites they are. On the other hand, the more hypocritical a Republican is, the more they are rewarded by their constituents. Hypocrisy seems to drive the popularity of Trump and Cruz.

This whole issue about an E-mail server is not the subject of Republican two-facedness. Republicans are scared to death another Democrat will become President and obstruct their desire to destroy our form of government. Never forget the continuous attack on our Constitution and Civil Liberties practiced by Republican Legislators in many states throughout our land.

With a Democrat as President they won’t be able to further their States Rights plans. They won’t be able to pass nullification laws and it will be a lot more difficult for states to seceed from the Union. With a Democrat in the Whitehouse they won’t be able to attack women’s rights, equal pay or their health care. With a Democrat in office it will be much more difficult to take health care away from twenty million Americans.

They will have a more difficult time taking food away from children. It will be a lot more difficult to hand over Social Security funds to the vultures on Wall Street. With a Democrat in office Medicare will be safe for a little longer.

With a democrat in office fewer American soldiers will die because of a lie. Foreign policy will make more sense and the likelihood of another 911 will be diminished. Military armies like ISIS will not be so easily created because of our wrong-headed foreign policy. That’s right, ISIS was created by Republicans. Republicans have been wrong 100% of the time regarding foreign policy. They won’t admit their errors and want to continue making errors in the future.

Until Republicans grow up, a Democrat in the Oval Office is America’s best chance of surviving threats from abroad and from within. Hillary and Bernie are head and shoulders above any of the dangerous and irresponsible Republicans running for POTUS. Trying to Destroy Hillary in order to put people like Trump or Cruz into the Whitehouse is equivalent to an attack on America.  

Another Republican Wanting to Abuse Workers

Glenn Grothman, Wisconsin GOP Senator,

Fights for A Seven-Day Workweek

 My comment:

What these Republicans are not telling you is that many workers, especially in the food industry, are forced to work overtime hours but are not paid overtime.

The agencies charged with enforcing labor laws have been cut to the bone with budget cuts. Small business employers know there is very little chance they will be caught because nobody is watching the chicken coup.

There was a day when employers paid overtime without the need of government enforcers. Employers were just better people in those days. Today, employers will cheat their workers every opportunity they get.

Greed and selfishness is the new American Capitalist model. I work at such a place. None of us have any loyalty to our employer. We all do as little work as possible. We will steal from our employer if we can. We will go to another job if we get a little more pay or the boss isn't as abusive.

It's because the boss only cares for his own welfare. The boss cares nothing for the workers making him money. Employers reap what they sow. We taught the modern world about Capitalism, then we forgot the lessons we taught.

Republicans Hate Socialists More Than They Love Jesus - Bernie can't be elected

Why Bernie Sanders won’t be elected

A lot of Republicans seem filled with hatred towards their fellow Americans. Their hatred has been successfully cultivated since the days of Ronald Reagan.  Make no mistake, there has been a carefully orchestrated effort to demonize the words Democrat, woman, black, Latino, Catholic, welfare and of course Liberal. However, no single word in America epitomizes Republican loathing more than the word “Socialist”

.

Arguments can be held as to who is orchestrating this hate campaign. That’s another story altogether. Nevertheless, Republican strategists, going back to Reagan, have created a generational atmosphere of hatred which persists to this day. They are very good at what they do.

Actually, the campaign of hate has been successful because it has been so effective. An entire generation of Americans absolutely hate Democrats. An entire generation of Americans have succumbed to a very effective propaganda campaign. An entire generation of Americans think Democrats have all become Socialists and are

the enemy of America.

Many of us have experienced the moment when a Republican discovers they are talking to a Democrat. Effectively, the conversation is over. No matter how logical or true your words, the Republican immediately stops listening and begins the name calling.

All Democrats have heard the words, “you’re just a Liberal”. Or, “you are a socialist and hate America”. At that point, the conversation turns bitter. The words Democrat, Liberal and Socialist are synonymous with all things evil. Over the years many people like Bill O'Reilly have advocated imprisoning Liberals. Militias talk about killing Liberals all the time. A vote for Bill Clinton was a vote for Satan.

Ronald Reagan painted Jimmy Carter as a Socialist. Bush Senior depicted Dukakis and Clinton as Socialists. Bush Junior successfully labeled Gore and Kerry as Socialist sissies who wanted the government to control Americans and regulate business in a massive Socialist/Communist conspiracy.

Yes, Republican propaganda demonized Democrats, woman, blacks, Latino’s, Catholics, welfare queens and of course the word Liberal but the overwhelming derogatory label having the most impact was the word “Socialist”. Labeling Carter, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore and Kerry Socialists won the Presidency for Republicans. Those campaigns were very effective.

However, the Republicans veered from their successful Socialist branding strategy against Obama when they stressed the black racial card. Republican strategists mistakenly thought the race issue would be stronger than the Socialist issue. They were wrong and Obama was elected twice.  By the way, America is to be credited with that wonderful change.

Now we come to the 2016 election. Republicans won’t be able to play the racial card this time except to point out how those un-American, black socialist, welfare scammers, overwhelmingly vote Democrat.  They will of course point out the unholy sinners in the gay community. All the Latinos will vote Democrat because they want to stay in America illegally and mooch welfare.

Gun nuts around the country will claim falsely that Democrats want to disarm law abiding citizens so it will be easier for the United Nations to take over America. States’ Rights advocates want a Republican President who won’t lift a finger if a state secedes.

Make no mistake! None of those minor issues can sway the election as much as labeling a Democrat a Socialist. Don’t underestimate the power of branding someone a socialist in America.

Bernie Sanders is ahead of his time because America is not ready for his kind. Someday in the future, after the worst generation, to ever grace our shores, finally dies off and disappears from the scene, a Socialist President will get elected in America. I am of course, talking about the Baby Boomers. The worst, most pitiful bunch of crybabies in the history of America. (I’m a Baby Boomer).

Bernie Sanders will be remembered as the father of American Democratic Socialism at some National Convention in the future. If he is nominated today, the lightening rod of Socialism will motivate five to ten million additional republicans to vote. It will be enough to elect someone like Cruz or Trump because, as in other elections, Republicans vote against someone, not for them.

Republicans hate Socialists more than they love Jesus! Bernie can’t be elected.

Gas Leak in Los Angeles Has Residents Looking Warily Toward Flint

A really bad and unfortunate situation. It has to be frustrating, waiting for something to be done. As I understand it, the health department is trying to kick a private corporations butt to get them to move faster. On the other hand, the problem may be so big neither a corporation or a government can fix the problem right away. Hmmmm! What to do?

The focus of this story is whether people can trust government again. The government didn't cause this problem. A corporation did. So it comes down to a simple choice. Do you trust government to fix the problem or do you trust a corporation to fix it?

Let's see. Government agencies don't operate on as high a profit margin as corporations. If you don't like the way a government does its job, elect new officials. The people are the stockholders. Government is more likely to operate within regulations than a corporation. Wait a minute, I may be wrong. Government officials are now controlled by profit seeking corporations.

Corporations must answer to stock holders, not the people. In order to make more profit, corporations are likely to attempt a skirting of regulations. In all likelihood, as is the case many times, a corporation ignored regulations, installed inadequate safeguards, all for the sake of more profit. That's probably what happened here.

If the general public doesn't like what a corporation does, there are no elections to cure the problem. The public cannot replace corrupt corporate management with an election. The only recourse is for elected officials to make corporate bosses obey regulations and the law.

Just a minute! I may have made an error. If corporations control government officials with bribes and campaign donations and elections cannot solve the problem, we may have a bigger problem than we thought. Do we have a Fascism problem?

So, we have a paradox before us. Corporate propaganda has successfully manipulated Americans, in the last twenty years, to blame everything on Government when in reality government and corporations are one and the same.

In this story everyone is blaming the government, when a corporation is at fault. That's what I call a great propaganda campaign. Separation of Church and State has been somewhat successful although it is being twiddled away slowly but surely. We should establish a principal of "Separation of Corporation and State".

Keeping corporations out of government would be as good for the country as keeping religion out of government. Too much common sense? Fascism has become too dominate? Can’t fight corporations? Sad, really sad!
