Republican control of our government is about to become a reality
I am for Hillary 100%. However, I'm a little depressed with the state of our Union. Dark forces bent on destroying our nation are in control of almost everything. If Obama's experience is visited upon Hillary, nothing will get done. If Hillary becomes President and the Congress stays the same, you can expect the United States government to continue its failure. An outcome Republicans desire anyway.
The DNC is doing a very poor job of scaring Americans sufficiently for effective change. Americans (especially democrats) have to be scared in order to overcome their apathy. Republicans have done a good job of scaring their electorate. In case you Hillary dreamers haven’t noticed, Republicans are turning out voters in these primaries and caucuses in far larger numbers than Democrats. An accurate prediction in the general election.
Republican performance will only increase as the general election approaches. Democrat apathy
will defeat Hillary. Republican fear will make Trump President. Historic precedence and wonderful words will not get apathetic Democrats off their rear ends long enough to go vote.
You have to scare Americans into believing their country and their way of life is about to come to an end if Trump and Republicans get total control of our government. The DNC and Hillary are failing in the need to scare Democrats in sufficient numbers to overcome scared authoritarian Republicans.
Forces opposed to our form of government, going all the way back to the Constitutional Convention, have gathered once again. They attempted their point of view years ago and it cost America 600,000 lives. They are back and this time they want to alter America using our freedoms and our legal system to do it. They are on the verge of success.
Large portions of the American public vote based on their hatred of Democrats. There is also a newly surfaced propensity for racism, sexism, bigotry and a love for authority. Hillary is wonderful but until a systemic change occurs within our society, Hillary's Presidency will fail if she becomes President.
This is not an indictment of her. It is an indictment of the American people. For the first time in my life, I am doubting the wisdom of our people. Root for Hillary as I do but get ready for failure. Assuming of course, she is even elected. I’m scared of the possible consequences looming before us. Chances are, you are not afraid because you refuse to believe America can be altered so dramatically. Because Democrats do not have enough fear, they can lose.
It's amazing
how all the Republican parrots repeat Republican talking points as though they
were fact. Many comments today say with certainty that Hillary is a liar.
Hillary is going to jail. In truth, repeating a Republican lie, that Hillary is
a liar, is pretty ironic and is totally false. People who
knowingly repeat lies
are especially despicable.
Repeating
lies is so un-American. Someone should take the liars American flag away and
prohibit them from ever flying the flag again. Repeating a lie over and over
again, when there is no basis in fact, is an insult to Jesus whom so many
worship and everything that has ever made this country great.
Tens of
millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent by Republicans trying to paint
Hillary as a liar and nothing has resulted in all their partisan witch hunts.
Nothing! Republican parrots keep focusing on the false allegations that Hillary
is a liar and she is going to jail only because they have been
manipulated by
Golden Tongued Con Artists to repeat their lies. Just disgusting!
Republican
parrots never accept the conclusion by multiple investigative committees that
Hillary has done no wrong. This Email thing will go nowhere as well. If
Republicans want to condemn Hillary for her private server, they better be ready
to condemn many Republicans who are doing the same thing as we speak today.
Most Republican politicians run their own private Email server and have done so
for years.
Should
Hillary become President, Republican hate mongers will keep repeating the lie
fed to them by their propaganda masters all the way through her first term and
into her second term if she is re-elected. Kind of like the repeated lies about
how Obama is a Kenyan, Obama wasn't born in the USA, Obama is a Muslim, etc.,
etc.
Repeating
lies over and over again despite the truth being out there seems to be a trait
owned exclusively by Republicans. How can anyone trust a pack of liars? How can
anyone want those liars to lead our country?
I might
consider some Republican ideas but they keep lying about everything. They have
proven to be such low class human beings it is hard to believe anything they
say. Should the day come when Republican dreams come true and Hillary has
actually done something wrong I will condemn her. Not until then.
I'll hold my
judgement until something is proven in law. That's why I can still fly the
American flag and many of you can’t.
My comment:
People say they doubt North Korea's technological capabilities. Maybe it’s just me, but they don't sound very sure of themselves. When it comes to nuclear weapons, there should never be any if, then or else scenarios.
Here in the United States we will always have jack asses making stupid remarks like Robert Barreca. below. What did he say? Let's see, "Fat Boy has nothing to fear from the United States since we have no leader. God help us if they send John Kerry who is an Obama Lapdog to arrange a treaty". This guy possesses zero logic and is a perfect example why you can't have his kind of Republican in charge of anything. Unfortunately, there are too many Republicans like him.
Can you just imagine someone like "fruit for racist brains", Robert Barreca, sitting down across a table with the little leader from N. Korea negotiating matters concerning nuclear issues. I don't think that would work out too well. Astoundingly, we have a front running Presidential candidate on the Republican side who is closer in thinking with Robert Barreca, than is comfortable. I sure hope someone with brains, like Hillary, becomes President.
As you can tell, I'm not commenting on the Little Man in North Korea. It would be nice if the Chinese government acted responsibly for a change and sent an army down there to take care of that rogue nation. However, don't count on China joining the International Community unless they can make a profit from the venture.
Come to think of it, if the America military industrial complex can make a profit from going into North Korea, we may be in there sooner than you think. It also depends on if some Republican wants a natural resource North Korea has. Since there isn’t anything there, it might explain why China hasn’t gone in. George Bush sure set a new standard for going to war, don’t you think?
Some people insist on calling China a Communist State. They are wrong. If Big Business gets their way in America, China is just a preview of how America will be in twenty years. Jobs will not come back to our country until American workers become low paid Chinese Coolies with zero benefits and no unions to defend workers. Just a fact of life.
So, I guess we are all sitting around waiting for the crazies in North Korea to incinerate some Asian city or even hit the American homeland. America is weary of war, China can’t make a profit, South Korea and Japan are too weak to send in ground forces and Russia is just loving the situation.
It makes you realize why Iran wants a nuclear weapon. With Republicans in the United States threatening to kill several hundred thousand Iranians, it makes since for Iran to get nuclear weapons. Look how safe North Korea has become.
Recently I told a little story about my experience joining the Thom Hartmann Group on Facebook. It turns out Thom Hartmann is a Bernie supporter and that many BurnBots have migrated to his show because of his support. Over the years I have been a big fan of the Thom Hartmann show and my support for Thom precedes the time when Bernie Sanders was not even on my radar.
Needless to say, I was attacked by rabid dog BurnBots because of my support for Hillary. I was irritated by Thom Hartmann’s fans at first and when I told my friends on Facebook (many Hillary supporters) they all launched into a blanket condemnation of BurnBots as well as Thom Hartmann and Bernie Sanders. I have since come to realize two Bandy Roosters going after each other in the barn yard is not such a good thing.
Bernie supporters are very dedicated and I may disagree with who they support, however, I can also sympathize with their goals and complaints. I may be wrong but my perception of Bernie supporters is that they are the remnants of the 99er movement. This was a movement I supported 100%.
While the Tea Party focused their grievances on the government, the 99er’s focused their attention on Corporate America. Both groups are highly charged, very emotional and very dedicated. In that respect, they have common factors contributing to their strength.
Actually, Thom has been a big fan of Democratic socialism for years and would explain his
support for Sanders. I got the concept of the "Commons" from Thom. I don’t know if the “Commons” is an original term coined by Thom Hartmann, but I don’t care about that anyway. He, like Sanders have a strong belief in how well Scandinavian countries have done compared to America. Both men are correct of course. We can learn something from Democratic Socialism.
Thom and Bernie have legitimate points to make and I would hope my favorite, Hillary, will adopt some of those ideas. In my mind, Hillary is more electable so I prefer the lady of destiny over the man with a cause. When it comes time, both Thom and Bernie will support our lady of calling. Just wait and see.
Like any good liberal commentator, Thom Hartmann addresses shortcomings of our Democratic leaders and he is almost always right when evaluating political events. This is not the time to push him away, nor is it the time to push highly motivated Bernie supporters’ way. I don’t blame Thom or Bernie for the oddball behavior BurnBots. They can’t be explained any more than a Tea Bagger can.
We will need Bernie and Thom on the battlefield when the lines are drawn. We are also going to need our well intentioned BurnBot buddies because the forces of wayward thinkers are very strong, very organized and very dedicated. They can beat us easily if we cut the throats of our allies.
After Hillary gets the nomination, a percentage of Bernie supporters will take their ball and go home. Some diehards will write in Bernie’s name but they always hated Hillary anyway and were never going to vote for her. Some will stay home and not vote at all.
There is nothing that can be done about people throwing tantrums. The people who don’t vote or write in someone who can’t win, will complain the loudest if Republicans take control of all branches of government. Of course, they won’t take responsibility for their frenzied behavior when they wasted their vote. Have you ever noticed there is no talking to those kind of people? Don’t even try.
Another common trait emotional 99ers and Tea Baggers share, is their inability to listen to anyone but themselves. When talking to them, you cannot finish a single sentence before they interrupt you, call you a name or sometimes threaten you. Listening to other people and showing good manner is something our society has lost along the way. Ah yes! The lamentations of an old geezer remembering when good manners were common among people.
People throwing tantrums are not very good Democrats and they just don’t get the big picture. They don’t understand the danger of electing a Republican POTUS when so much of our government is controlled by latent Confederate traitors. The only obstacle to a complete takeover of our government by people bent on destroying it, is a Democrat POTUS.
Hopefully, Hillary will do better than Obama on that front. It will be a long time before Democrats take back the Congress. We are destined to have a divided government for many more years. If divided government means a Democrat in the White House, that may be good. Full control by Republicans is bad.
So, after a day of feeble thinking I have decided it is not advantages to rant and rail against Thom Hartmann and Bernie Sanders. Bernie supporters have to be allowed to get over the fact their hero will not be the nominee. Bernie and Thom will come around and lend their full support as long as true Democrats accept temporary differences in favor of a Socialist. (Er…I mean Democratic Socialist).
The coming election could be very close because a large portion of America has accepted racism, sexism, warmongering and the destruction of the government our Founding Fathers envisioned, as their way of life. Our form of government has always been deemed an experiment and opposed by those with different ideas.
Opposition to our Federalist government has always been present. We even fought a big Civil War over the idea. In order to beat back a resurgent desire to turn our nation into fifty independent states, those of us who still love the United States of America will have to rise up and beat back the Confederate traitors, again.
All Democrats need to join forces or we will lose our nation. Just look at the Republicans today! Does anyone think they will strengthen our current government or do you think they want to destroy it? Democrats know the answer to that question.
Those bent on destroying America have just one common goal. They must vote against any Democrat and will support any Republican, because of a well cultivated hatred for their fellow Americans who still love their nation the way it is. This is not the time for Democrats to split their ranks.
I'm not
usually open to the idea of war but the talk coming out of North Korea does
make one a little concerned. It is probably all talk now and they can't really
do anything at this time but what about a couple years from now? It may be
years before they are able to hit American cities but if they keep trying hard
enough, they may be able to do it one day.
What about our allies in South Korea and Japan? They are under
immediate threat right now. Apparently, North Korea does not understand the
threat to their existence if they nuke one of our allies. At what point should
we take North Korea seriously and end the threat of this rogue nation growing
day by day.
Where is China in all this? It looks like China is not
interested in the safety of Japan and South Korea. Or for that matter, the
safety of the United States. Can China afford to lose all that business at
Wal-Mart? They must be doing better than I thought. I bet Wal-Mart would hate
losing all that cheap labor in China. Union free labor is right down Wal-Mart's
alley. I wonder if Wal-Mart can calm things down. Maybe Wal-Mart can exploit
slave labor in North Korea and alleviate the problem.
In fact, China looks as threatening as North Korea when you
think about it. Continuing to support North Korea while the little man
threatens mankind with nuclear weapons does not speak well of China. Just what
we need! China turning into a bigger North Korea.
I wish they would knock it off because I like shopping at
Wal-Mart.
I'll tell ya' what. The protesters interrupting Trump's rallies are my kind of people. You may not like the protesters, but it takes guts to go into a festering
pit of hatred and ignorance. Going into a place like that, knowing you could
get injured or even killed takes more courage than the average person has. When I served in the military, people, like today's protesters were the
ones I relied on the most. It takes a special kind of person to be so dedicated they are willing to lay down their lives for their beliefs. Trump protesters are risking their lives, you know? The people they are engaged with are
violent and capable of murder. Their leader is inciting the most vile behavior. When one goes to a Trump rally, it is a place where America has died. Honor
and respect to those who risk so
much. They are the new American heroes.
The day may come, when the mild and meek among us, will depend upon the Trump
protesters to save the day. If someone like Trump becomes President and the
current Republican Party, being what they are, gains control, it will take
great courage to stop them. Words won't do the job. It will take strength and sacrifice on the streets. Blood may have to be spilled just as Union troops did, long ago.
I remember the sacrifice the flower children paid to stop the insanity of
Vietnam. I fought two wars during that era. One war in Southeast Asia, the
other on American streets to stop the war. I shed blood in both wars. I
witnessed flower children die for their cause. I am very proud to have participated with those brave souls who took a stand against insanity. I helped save more lives than I helped to take. I am very proud of that. One day, today's Trump protesters will grow old and they will reflect on the most exciting and meaningful days of their lives. Saving America is no small matter. Today, I am old and remember with absolute clarity the two wars I fought in the 60's. Our new street warriors today will reflect on their deeds and brag how they once saved America from itself. When they are old, a new generation will ignore them when they tell their stories, just as I am ignored now. However, the cause Trump protesters dedicate themselves too, will never be forgotten by those who showed courage under the most stressful times of their lives.
Again, honor and respect to the Trump protesters. Your courage has not gone
unnoticed. The courage Trump protesters displayed is on a par with troops in our
recent wars. A new generation has risen. Old geezers like me proudly pass the
torch of righteousness onto the Trump protesters. Thank you for defending America. I wish I were young enough to
join you.
First and foremost, like his father, Cruz is a Dominionist. He
doesn't come out and say so because of the divisive nature of the philosophy
but the notion of Dominionsm explains much of what Ted Cruz is about. If you
ask Cruz directly if he is a Dominionist, he will deny it for political
reasons.
"Dominionism" generally describes the belief that
Christians are biblically mandated to control all earthly institutions until
the second coming of Jesus (from an article published by the Huffington post).
Ted Cruz is more than likely a follower of the New
Apostolic Reformation, which
advocates for Christians to "reclaim the seven mountains of culture":
government, religion, media, family, business, education, and arts and
entertainment.
One of the striking personality characteristics of Dominionists is that they believe they are mandated by God to control everything, for the good of the non-believers. Because God guides them, mechanisms installed by
government allowing people to vote and determine how they will live are deemed irrelevant.
A Dominionist knows more than the people.
A Dominionist is, after all, guided by God and any political
movement contrary to their perceived notion of what God wants, means nothing to
them. In other words, voting only has meaning to the Dominionist if it gives
him the power to enable his perception of what God wants. Once in office, he is
free to do as he pleases as long as he thinks that is what God wants.
When Cruz shutdown the government costing American taxpayers 23 billion dollars, he was not concerned at all. He knew best because whatever
he did was guided by God and to heck with the damage he caused to Republicans
and Democrats alike.
Cruz is immune to criticism from people even in his own party.
He is after all; a tool being used by God to save mankind. This notion is
widely believed in Christian America. The growth of Christian Superiority has
grown immensely in America just in the last twenty years.
The belief that only those who think “Jesus is Lord” or have
been “Saved” can go to heaven, is as strong a notion of superiority as any
practiced in the history of man. If you do not have those same beliefs, you are going to Hell according to many Americans. If you are destined for Hell, Christians are free to do as they please to you. Anything at all, including execution. Just ask Blacks and Indians what they think about religious superiority.
Delusions of grandeur is rampant within
American religious culture. It explains white only Christian schools. Religious
superiority is the reason for all white only church congregations. The
exception being, if people of color are obedient “Oreos”, they can participate.
Incidentally, in America, religious superiority is the exclusive
property of white Americans. People of color in America do not practice
delusions of grandeur. It is the combination of Cruz's belief he
is superior, others not like him are inferior and going to Hell
and rampant racism, which makes Cruz so popular in white America.
Cruz will never admit his beliefs but Christian White America
loves him because of his beliefs. After all, millions of white Americans, feel
superior to the rest of us. Cruz has tapped into the underground racist and
religious beliefs of many Americans. It explains his popularity.
Ferd Fisher - Wrote Let's send Kerry over there to apologize even more for Obama. Why are we still dicking around with those people? Oh yeah, policy is now we will negotiate with known terrorists. The entire world knows that Obama is weak, so they figure, rightly so that they can do anything they want with no regard to the US's positions. Whomever wins job as next President, I hope they have more backbone than the current regime!
I replied: What's your version of backbone? Maybe you want another 200,000 killed based on some kind of lie? I'm sure some Republican can make up plenty of lies.
You tough talkers amaze me. Let me see! North Korea (much more dangerous) means nothing to you because they have nukes. Iran wants nukes because they know guys like you will, stop threatening them if they get them. Hmmmmm! Keep talking. You'll force Iran to arm themselves for their own defense.
North Korea was/is far more dangerous than Iraq. North Korea had nukes, Iraq didn't. We attack Iraq. Iran says, "we will be safe like North Korea if we get nukes. If we don't get nukes and America doesn't like something we do, America will kill several hundred thousand of us". Especially if some Republican is trying to please his Christian base. There is no sin in killing infidels, right?
I hope the next President is someone like Clinton or Sanders. Like Obama, they will think a little bit before killing everyone. I like the way Obama has kept from committing mass murder. It's been refreshing having a President who doesn't lie and kill just to please warmongering Christians. After Bush, Obama has been a ray of light.
I hope the next Democratic President is half as smart as Obama.
It's not surprising to see born-again Christian voters falling
for Trump’s deception. After all, born-again Christian voters are also prone to
believe in ghosts, witches, goblins and Ouija boards. Golden tonged con-artists
bamboozle born-again Christians out of their money on a regular basis. It’s
really pretty easy. This is especially true of our new class of stupid white
people in this country.
I hate to say this, but I have found born-again Christians to be
some of the most gullible people I have ever met. Especially the white ones. When
I was running a print shop I could tell born-again white Christians all kinds
of lies about Jesus and they would do business with me even if I wasn't the
best priced printing company in the city. They were easy to fleece.
You will have to forgive me. I was chasing the dollar back then and
like most capitalists I would lie, cheat and steal trying to get the “green”. It
was so bad I would tell stories about Jesus just to suck up to religious
fanatics who had the money. Funny how I never suffered any consequences as a
result of my lies. It’s just that those Christians were so easy to manipulate. I
couldn’t resist. All I had to do was praise Jesus and they would give me their
money. Pitiful!
When I see born-again white Christians following yet another liar
and con-artist (Trump), it makes me realize born-again white Christians hate
Democrats more than they love Jesus. It's the only explanation possible. Do
born-again white Christians follow Trump because of a photo shoot? Probably.
Reagan knew how to manipulate those suckers. He was no Christian.
Both Bushes (father and son) killed so many people for nothing they had to be
followers of Satan. Reagan, Bush and Bush were all rewarded with wonderful life
styles and fabulous wealth because of all the people they murdered. Born-again white
Christians still worship those killers. Stands to reason they would worship
Trump. It’s a pattern, you know.
I didn’t suffer at all for my little lies about Jesus. After
all, I didn’t kill anyone. Trump won’t suffer much either even when he gets the
opportunity to kill thousands of people for no reason. Even then, when he is
all done, he will be made into hero by white people. None of this makes sense
to me. Where am I going wrong? Have things changed that much?
I really respect Bernie but have come to dislike his followers. They are so dogmatic. When I hear BurnBots say, "Bernie or nothing", or "they will stay home and not vote if Bernie is not nominated", I've come to realize they are not very big thinkers.
The only thing preventing a complete takeover of our government by the old Confederacy is a Democrat in the White House.
This next election isn’t about Bernie or Hillary. It’s about something much bigger than either of those candidates. The 2016 election is about the future of our nation and the gathering forces determined to nullify the rule of law, neutralize equal protection under law, limit due process, nullify the Supremacy Clause and raise State's Rights over Federal law.
The Republicans have done a very
good job over the years of taking over local and State governments. They have
taken over the US Congress and with a President willing to fulfill their dreams,
they are on the verge of destroying our nation. It is their goal.
Confederates came very close to
destroying our nation years ago. They are back and this time
they are much sneakier
about their methods. They have discovered guns won’t do the job. That was
proven long ago. They can alter our nation legally and the Presidency is the
only thing stopping them from doing just that.
With a Supreme Court inclined to
make up new law to the detriment of the people, Confederate Traitors who have
hated America in its current form, from the beginning, are poised to get their
way. The only impediment preventing a new definition of what the United States
of America means, is a POTUS in the hands of a Democrat.
Bernie is really good and I hope
many of his ideas are put into place in the next administration. However,
extremists do not win general elections. Hillary is not perfect but she has a
broader appeal to the general public. Sure, Bernie’s revolution is very much
needed but he is ahead of his time. People like Bernie will not be made
president until there has been more suffering.
Perhaps sometime in the future. However,
there will need to be more anguish before those filled with hate discover they
were wrong. It will take much longer for those same people to admit they were
wrong. In the meantime, we can’t afford to experiment with an extremist.
Putting our heads in the clouds won’t stop the forces bent on destroying our
current form of government.
Bernie can’t win a general election
and dreaming he can, is a tactical error.
