Bernie Sanders is good but Hillary is more electable.

America is not ready for Democratic Socialism

         

Recently I responded to a contributor on Face Book who stated, "independent" (republicans) have been crossing over in every caucus state to vote for BS. Their motivation seems to be if BS wins the nomination, he will be much easier to beat in the general”.

          I agree with his analogy. I believe Bernie is much more vulnerable than Hillary. Mainly because the word Socialism is more volatile than the words Democrat, liberal, black, Hispanic or woman. One day, Socialism will correct the Fascist trend in America. But not yet.

          America is currently experiencing a version of Fascism uniquely tailored to the United States. This effort, is combined with a sophisticated propaganda campaign convincing millions of Americans that corporations are good, excess profit is good, unions are bad and anyone wanting to correct the excesses of big business, is bad.

          Corporations have actually convinced many Americans that the minimum wage is too high, child labor is alright and woman should not earn as much as men. These beliefs, supported by millions of Americans, is right out of the Chinese Fascist playbook.

          Some still claim China is a Communist nation. Nothing could be further from the truth. China is an authoritarian Fascist state created with the help of American corporations. Wal-Mart is just one American Corporation supporting slave labor, horrible working conditions, no Unions and a complete lack of workers’ rights.

          China extracts maximum profit through the abuse of its workers. America is being molded into a copy of the Chinese economic machine and corporations have convinced millions of Americans this transformation is alright. Manufacturing jobs will not come back to America, until the American labor market resembles Fascist China.

       

        Fascism must cause more damage before Democratic Socialism enters the scene and saves the day. We are still a few years away from that. Bernie is ahead of his time but cannot win the election in this election cycle. Americans have not awakened to the Fascist transformation occurring right under our noses. In the future we will see someone like Bernie emerge when everyone realizes the dangers of corporate Fascism. Twenty years, maybe.

          Socialism is the natural enemy of Fascism. Combined with a Bill of Rights and equal justice for all, Democratic Socialism will correct the abuses of Fascism. It’s just that people have not suffered enough under the current Corporate scheme and they are not ready to correct the Chinese economic model being foisted upon the American people.

          Bernie is ahead of his time but Hillary has the best chance to be POTUS at this time in history. Hopefully, Hillary will begin the task of correcting Corporate Fascism. However, she will have a very difficult time at first because the American people have not suffered enough under the Chinese model. In addition, an entire political party, is an ally of Corporatism and they will not be easily silenced.

         When Socialism corrects Corporate Fascism, it has not been without violence in the past. Hopefully the American correction will come without a violent overthrow similar to the French Revolution or what Pol Pot did in Cambodia.

In the meantime, Hillary is the best choice to temporarily stem the tide of Fascism. Bernie cannot be elected in today's environment.

Cruz Speaks to Inferior Jews In a Bid for Money

Cruz builds support among GOP Jews as Trump skips event

From a story located at:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cruz-builds-support-among-gop-jews-as-trump-skips-event/ar-BBrvxC9?ocid=UP97DHP

My comment:

I know this is awful to say. but it needs saying. "Cruz is a Fundamentalist Christian who thinks any Jew who doesn't convert to Christianity is going to Hell."

Jews don't think Jesus is Lord. Jews don't think you have to be Saved in order to go to heaven. Jews don't think Jesus is the Son of God. Most normal Americans pay no attention to these religious differences. After all, this is America and all religions have equal validity. However, Ted Cruz’s America is not normal. In Ted Cruz’s world, Jews are no better than Muslims.

Notions of Religious Superiority practiced by the Ted Cruz faction of Christianity are not a secret. All of us, in our daily lives, are subject to finger pointing and claims that we will burn in Hell if we don’t fall in line with Christian Fundamentalism. Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Atheists and anyone not subscribing to the “Jesus is Lord” definition is considered inferior and unworthy of sitting in the presence of God.

That’s why, when a pompous religious man like Ted Cruz, goes among a group of non-Christians begging for support and money, the scene is especially egregious. Aside from racial supremacy, religious superiority ranks among the most destructive elements practiced by mankind.

Jews, accepting the presence of Ted Cruz among them, is a complete betrayal of their people and their religion. When Ted Cruz speaks to non-Christians, he does so believing everyone in the audience is going to Hell. Before they slither into Hell, Ted Cruz wants their vote and their money.

Any Jew, stupid enough to support Ted Cruz, deserves what they get. Personally, I could never support someone who looks on me as some inferior bug whose only function is to give him money. After that, I can go to Hell. 

Isn't that what Cruz is saying? Give me your money, then go to Hell! Is it just me or is there something wrong with Ted Cruz talking to a bunch of Jews?

Can you believe Americans want to torture?

EXCLUSIVE-Most Americans support torture

against terror suspects -poll

From a story located at:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/exclusive-most-americans-support-torture-against-terror-suspects-poll/ar-BBr70xL?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=UP97DHP

My comment:

Yes, terrorists are protected under American law. The United States authored (most all of it) the Geneva Conventions. The Senate ratified the Treaty and a sitting President signed the Treaty into law. Under the constitution, Treaties are the law of the Land. Read up. You'll see that I'm right.

Just imagine this were an American soldier being tortured

After WWII, the United States hunted down, put on trial, convicted two Japanese soldiers, then executed them for Waterboarding US soldiers. Waterboarding is illegal under the treaties we signed and therefore, is a crime.

We have choices now. We can say our government was right to execute Japanese soldiers for waterboarding our prisoners during the Bataan Death March, or we can say our government committed a crime for wrongfully executing Japanese soldiers. How patriotic are you, anyway?

             The President of the United States can wave a wand and nullify US treaties. It's a hole in our Constitution that needs to be fixed. That’s what George W. Bush did to keep from being prosecuted under various War Crimes Treaties we signed. You do know, under the rule of law, G.W. Bush is a War Criminal, don’t you? Hold on though! He’s a hero to some of you sick bastards.

Convenient for him. However, do we want to nullify the Geneva Conventions just so a bunch of arm chair warriors can sit around and masturbate over photos of tortured people? Haven’t you read? Torture doesn’t work. Advocating torture is rather un-American of you. Do you understand what this country stands for Mr. Trumpster and followers? Personally, I don’t want your kind running this country.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You people cheering for torture will need to shut up when an American soldier is tortured. That day is coming you know. When an American soldier is tortured, pro-torture freaks need to shut your mouths. You have no right to say anything. You may be responsible for US soldiers being tortured in the future.

Those of us against torture are the only ones who can protest torture of our troops. Don’t worry, the adults among us will object for you. Meantime, you little children keep playing in your sandbox and don’t get any sand in your underwear. That might hurt.

What's wrong with America? REPUBLICANS!

Obama calls on journalists to hold candidates accountable

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/obama-calls-on-journalists-to-hold-candidates-accountable/ar-BBr3h2l?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=UP97DHP

When The world asks, "What's wrong with America"? the answer is, the Republican Party. Obama makes a reasonable proposal encouraging the media to be more responsible and start doing a better job and you would think he was proposing the overthrow the United States.

All one has to do is read the comments by Republicans regarding this story to find out what's wrong with America. The level of hatred Republicans express is what's wrong with this country. There are very few constructive observations offered by these Republicans. The rhetoric is nothing more than lies born from racist hatred.

I spend a lot of time reading the comments related to political stories, every day. Very often, the real story is not the subject of the column. The real story is the level of hatred and lies expressed by Republicans no matter the subject. The level of contempt by rank and file Republicans has been encouraged by the RNC and no matter how outrageous comments and behavior becomes, the RNC says nothing. Silence is acceptance and the Republican Party has gone astray.

The entire Republican party, including the ones who are supposed to be the good ones, is responsible for people around the world asking, “What’s wrong with America”? At the risk of invoking the old German disaster, there are similarities between the hatred practiced in Nazi days and the hatred in America today. The German’s temporarily spiraled down into a world of lies, hatred and superiority. Now we see similar behavior by an element of American culture.

           That’s why people around the world are asking, “What’s wrong with America?” The world has a long memory and the vision of Nazi Germany invokes disgust and revulsion. When elements of American culture behave similarly to the early days of Nazi Germany, the world takes notice. German Nazi’s thought they were wonderful much the way Republicans think they are superior in America.

That is what all this hatred is based on, isn’t it? One can trace back all the lies and vitriol by Republicans, on almost any subject, to a delusion of grandeur practiced by white Republicans. That is what Donald Trump has tapped into. Delusions of white supremacy.

One can see elements of this belief on any subject confronting the nation today. Supremacy, hatred and lies by the Republican Party is what has captured the world’s attention. If you want an example of what I am talking about, read the comments associated with this story. 

Trump Supporters Should not Be Running This Country

How the G.O.P. Elite Lost Its Voters to Trump

From a story located at:

My comment:
          People falling on hard times because they have been such screw ups all their lives is not new. What a surprise! When they were in high school they just messed around and got average grades. Not good enough to go to college. They began working at a dead-end job with no hope of doing better. They started alcohol abuse very early in life and engaged in drugs and never stopped. What a surprise they are such failures. They will never admit why they are failures either.

          It's also no surprise someone like Trump can come along and promise to fix all their problems by circumventing the Constitution.  All he has to do is wave a wand and make the self-inflicted wounds white America imposed on themselves go away. If it takes a little dictatorship to solve their problems, so be it.

          Of course, cry baby failures, have always turned to dictatorship to solve their problems. What stupid and lazy failures never realize, is that no matter the system, their lethargic alcohol and drug induced anemic performance, does not get better if someone like Trump comes along and suspends the Constitution.

    Trump, addressing make believe problems and promising to make up the inadequate performance of uneducated white trash through the use of proclamations, will not address the issues trailer trash have today. If you are a lazy creep, impaired with drugs and alcohol, unable to do little more than sign your name, Donald Trump will not make you better. Your problems will still be there, with Trump or without.

           You still have to wake up, look at your bad teeth in a mirror, clear off the empty beer cans from your sink, decide it’s not worth taking a bath and fail to change the underwear you have been wearing for two weeks. By noon, push your broken trailer door open, blame everyone in the world for your problems and tell your neighbor all they have to do is vote for Trump and everything will get better.

          Assuming of course, your neighbor can get up by noon.

Ted Cruz Affairs? Knowing Women - It's possible

The National Enquirer Runs Story of Multiple Ted Cruz Affairs…

From a story located at:
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/24/the-national-enquirer-runs-story-of-multiple-ted-cruz-affairs/

My comment:
          One cannot make a comment on this story without irritating someone. On one hand, Cruz is so greasy awful it's hard to believe any woman would have an affair with him. On the other hand, it's not hard to believe that women are attracted to wealth and power more than they are to a person's looks.

          I tend to believe the latter. Sometimes I'll see this gorgeous woman, perfect in every way, with the ugliest fat slob. Physically, it's just not possible in my mind. Then I'll see the couple getting into a very expensive car and everything becomes clear.

        This is my bad for even mentioning this phenomenon. It's just that all my life I have lost women to abusive unwashed slobs simply because they had more money than me. I think for women, wealth and power is more important than looks or character. Oh brother! I’ll be in trouble for sure now.

Clinton hits Trump, Cruz for Brussels response: 

'Slogans aren't a strategy'

My comment:
          We can suspend the Geneva Conventions and the War Crimes Treaties we signed into law years ago but it doesn't mean other countries will ignore treaties they signed, just so they can placate us. Commit war crimes and other countries are obligated under their laws, to prosecute our war criminals or arrest and transport them to wherever they can be tried.

         Shrub Jr. waved a wand and nullified the war crimes treaties our country entered into. However, he isn't safe. That's why you won't see Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney and Bush going into countries who still honor the War Crimes Treaties. They have been accused of War Crimes. They would be arrested, under the terms of the Treaties and sent off for trial. Not every nation is as lawless as we are.

         Trump could conduct torture all he wants because there is no shortage of Americans willing to torture people to death. Many would do it for fun!

       

Americans would torture for fun? Yes they would. Many Americans today brag about how they would do it. There are many Americans walking our streets today who have tortured and murdered during our last wars. Society gives them a free pass and now those monsters are your next door neighbor.

         Donald Trump claims he would order Americans to torture. Some of those people would die from the torture they received. Under Bush, Americans sometimes tortured innocent people to death and the Bush Administration would pat them on the back. Then Bush nullified our War Crimes Treaties in order to protect the murderers and to prevent prosecution for Bush issuing the orders. Many Americans approved of this outcome.

         Trump wants to continue this unlawful business and claims he would order even worse.

Millions of Americans will vote for him. If you want a good example of how morally corrupt portions of the American people have become, look no further than this subject.

         However, Trump would be indicted as well as those who do the torturing, by nations possessing more honor than America. Before long, Trump couldn't venture outside our borders any more than the War Criminals from the Bush Administration. Has anyone seen Bush set foot into Canada? No, and you won't either. You see, they still have laws up there.

          Here is how it goes. The international community banned war crimes which includes waterboarding. Everyone signed treaties agreeing to prosecute war criminals and arrangements were made worldwide to arrest and extradite accused war criminals for trial in the proper venue or location. Just because America breaks its treaties doesn't mean other countries will do the same.

         

That's how the law works. Water boarding is an international war crime and guys like Bush and Trump are not immune to the law just because they say so. I'm really sorry but US Presidents are not above International law. All you criminals supporting war crimes need to shut up. Your kind of human being is so out of style.

Muslim Genocide is just around the corner! Hillary is needed to stop this kind of outcome!

Attacks on Brussels airport, metro kill 34 - public broadcaster

Yea, this is a gloomy comment. Not something I hope for. However, it may come to pass.

My comment:
          Let's hope reasonable people like Hillary, are in charge if something big happens. When the Cuban Missile Crises occurred, can you just imagine the outcome if someone like Trump were in charge? Fortunately, we had John F. Kennedy calling the shots and mankind was saved.

         Big events require big people and Business people with no governmental experience won't cut the mustard. In a crises, you want someone like Hillary because her experience and wisdom could very well save mankind, the way Kennedy did.

          Inch by inch, Muslim terrorists are creeping closer to a terror attack that will kill hundreds of thousands. It's inevitable. It's the world we live in today. Terrorists will keep killing indiscriminately and much of the killing will come from the Muslim world. One day, a terror attack will stop the world’s heart. Then, the world will stop the hearts of Muslims.

          I’ll bet there are some people in Brussels who are ready for a genocide of the Muslim world. People who have lost loved ones. People like Trump exist in all Western Countries and they are willing to kill everyone in order to solve the problem. Don’t misconstrue what I am saying. I don’t advocate genocide but there are plenty who do.

         Terrorism has become a problem I have no answer for. Self preservation says to deal with the problem and it is either kill or be killed. When in Vietnam, if a North Vietnamese soldier came upon you in the night, with the intent to kill you, gun blazing, the answer was simple. You pulled the trigger. But don't think you will not regret what you did later. If you are normal, taking a life in combat is no simple matter. It stays with you all your life. Even with all the excuses.
       
          Normal people would prefer not killing someone. It's the kind of business you never forget and as one gets older, the deed weighs heavily on your mind. With age, the memory is more pronounced. I have found most people don't understand what I'm saying about this. That's why there are new wars, generation after generation.

          There were a few sick Americans in the Nam who did enjoy killing but we normal people, stayed away from that kind of individual. You didn't want to make friends with that sort. You knew there was something fundamentally wrong with people who seemed to like killing people and bragged about it. That's probably why I stay away from Christian Churches today.

          While G.W. Bush and his military were killing all those innocent people in Afghanistan and Iraq, American Christians were bragging and boasting about all the death being wrought and rooting for more. I stay away from Christians now, for the same reason I avoided deranged individuals in the Nam. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but American Christians went wrong somewhere along the way. Is it just American Christians?

         However, slowly, but ever so assuredly, the Muslim world will bring about the big one. I can imagine the French using nuclear weapons to extinguish the problem if Paris is obliterated and there are a few million dead Frenchmen. If a million Russians are killed on Putin’s watch, I can visualize nuclear strikes even if they kill a few Jews. Putin and the Russians are just glorified Republicans set loose to do as they please. We have Putin style Americans all over our nation. One is running for POTUS.

          Here in America, it’s obvious millions of people would call for genocide of the Muslim world, if say a city like Chicago, experiences hundreds of thousands dead due to a biological attack brought on by some Jihadist. I was reading a comment in another article by a Trumpster supporter, wanting to round up all the Muslims in America and start shooting them dead. Unfortunately, he’s a typical Tea

Bagging Trumpster and there are millions of them. Hopefully they won't get control of the country.

         The day is coming when something horrible is going to happen and some world leader will do something even worse. The mentality for genocide exists all over the world. That mentality is very strong in America. Going by the rhetoric spewing out of the mouths of some politicians in America, genocide is not out of the question.

          There is nothing wonderful about the American people anymore. Just look at our politics and you will come away disgusted. All one can hope for is that someone like Hillary will take the helm and temporarily stem the tide of American insanity. There can be nothing worse than a bunch of Christians armed to the teeth wanting vengeance against a non- Christian culture. It’s happened before and will happen again. Trump is currently sucking up to them.

          What do you think? If a guy like Trump orders US missile crews to push the button, causing the death of millions of innocent Muslims, will those crews push the button? That was a big question during the Cold War as well. Will the annihilation of an American city bring about mass murder of the Muslim world?

          Probably! Especially if some big talker, on an ego trip like Trump, is in charge. Ted Cruz and his Dominionist ideas would not hesitate to slaughter millions of non-believers. His kind have a history of genocide. Just ask Blacks and Indians. It certainly would be true of Putin and the Russians. Afterall, America is getting to look a lot like Russia. Especially if that chicken hawk Donald Trump gets elected..

Instead of Obama's Way, Let's Do To Cuba What We Did To Iraq

Cuba casts aside rancor to

welcome Obama on historic visit

My comment:

Same old story. Normalizing relations with Cuba is a good thing. Exposing them to American ideas is good. Showing them American ways is good. Ultimately, our way of life will prevail. Communism will be gone and Cuba can be a great place to go on vacation again. Among the many good things coming from Cuba we will get more great baseball players. All good! It took someone like Obama to do it. We can expect more good things to come from Hillary.

However, in the minds of many sick people in America (Trumpsters?), none of this is good. They prefer conflict. They want to unleash our military on Cuba and level all their buildings. They want at least a 100,000 men, women and children dead. 

Bush really enjoyed this.

They want all Cuban hospitals (filled with patients) demolished and their entire infrastructure destroyed, just like Iraq. They prefer a President taking personal pleasure in the hanging of Cuba's Communist leader. Did you see Bush when Saddam got hanged? Bush really enjoyed that.

That way another 100,000 people over the next ten years can die from lack of medical care and clean water. We can duplicate the wonderful success we had in Iraq. It will be another opportunity to brag about how wonderful we are. Sorry, just telling the truth here.

In our churches we can all sing praise to Jesus and make hero’s out of the people doing all the killing. Golden tongued pontificators can tell their congregations how there is no sin in killing those low class Hispanics and black people who mistakenly live in Cuba.  After all, because they aren’t white there is no sin in killing undesirables. It’s the “Old Sin Nature” theme which has made a comeback in America.

We could install a corrupt corporate run government the way we did in Iraq and steal from Cubans and American tax payers alike. Before long the Cubans will be kicking us out of their country the way the Iraq’s did and we’ll be right back to the way we were before we decided to save Cuba. We can do to Cuba what Bush did to Iraq and then boast about it. Now that's how you make friends, right?

I for one, prefer Obama's way. I totally reject the sycophant way. People supporting the likes of Trump want to kill everyone and I consider those people part of the sickness of America. That's part of what this coming election is about. It's between normal people and sick people. It's very simple Jack! Normal vs sick! If you ask me, this coming election is a good opportunity to see just how many sick people we have in America. It could be an eye opener.

Religious Superiority Afflicting America Past and Present

Merrick Garland Supreme Court Nomination:

Six in 10 Americans Approve

Inspirational Story:
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/merrick-garland-supreme-court-nomination-six-10-americans-approve-n541681

My Comment:
          I'll bet the 36% that disapprove of Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court Nomination are Republicans. One of the symptoms, indigenous to Republicans, is their inability to understand "walk in someone else's shoes". If those shoes were on Republican feet, they would be screaming very loud right now. Can you imagine if Democrats were holding up a Supreme Court appointment by a Republican President, how much they would be crying?

          Another symptom of a Democrat versus a Republican is the amount of empathy one possesses.Democrats have empathy, Republican don’t. Democrats think about people other than themselves, Republicans don’t. Democrats would have confirmation hearings because it doesn’t occur to them to be self-centered hypocrites. “Do onto others as you would have done onto you” is practiced most by Democrats. That’s a philosophy which has escaped Republicans these days.

          Forget about displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools. Teach empathy and good manners and you will create a bunch of Democrats in the future. As soon as people start thinking of someone other than themselves, they start flirting with the Democrat Party. Empathy and good manners is more acceptable than the Ten Commandments because of the non-secular nature of empathy and good manners. It would also get better results.

          We are confronted with a political party suffering from a persecution complex, delusions of grandeur and a lack of empathy. In other words, they think everyone is persecuting them and they are better than everyone else. They could care less about anyone but themselves. It's called paranoia and when an individual suffers from the malady, it is very difficult to cure.

          When an entire segment of society suffers from social paranoia, bad things happen (like Germany for example). It is very difficult to cure society of social paranoia. It’s very difficult trying to convince people the boogie man is not chasing them and they are not smarter or better than you. Especially if they think you are the boogie man.

          That’s why you can’t talk to Republicans. It’s difficult to make a point with people who think they are better than you and believe with all their heart you are persecuting them. Have you ever noticed when talking to a paranoid Republican the conversation soon turns into them yelling very loudly, they won’t let you finish a sentence and they start calling you names?

          They immediately believe you are attacking them and how dare you attack them when you are inferior to them. This is especially true if they also enjoy a notion of religious superiority over you. There are all kinds of superiority beliefs. Racial and gender superiority are well known and come to mind.

          People don’t talk much about the most insidious version of superiority, religious superiority. America suffers a lot from delusions of grandeur practiced by fundamentalist Christians. It’s an old notion which has surfaced once again after a long dormant period on our shores.

          Earlier in our history, Indians and blacks suffered terribly at the hands of a Christian movement

thinking white Christians in particular were superior to other races and ethnic people. “The only good Indian was a dead Indian”. Our original Constitution thought Black human beings were only 2/3’s human. Manifest Destiny said all of North America belonged to whites only. All these notions were based on a belief in Christian Superiority.

          Something disastrous has to occur, as a result of social paranoia, before society corrects itself. Germany being pulverized during WWII, pretty much knocked delusions of grandeur out of the German people. America will need to suffer much more than they do today and be humiliated to a greater extent before social paranoia is eliminated.

          Before a disaster makes Americans humble once again we will experience many more years of Trumpster supporters. That is what we are witnessing with Trump, isn’t it? Large numbers of white people afraid of their own shadows and believing they are superior ethnically, racially, sexually and religiously. The driving force behind Donald Trump is white paranoia. Donald Trump has become a master of exploiting paranoia.

          Can the social paranoia plaguing America be cured with the election of a Democrat for POTUS? No, not likely. The sickness of large American segments of our population has been allowed to grow and fester. It’s at the point where very radical action becomes necessary for the cure. Democrats are not willing to do what it takes. Obama wasn’t willing to prosecute war criminals or Wall Street thieves. The cure for America will take someone stronger than Obama.

          I dread what will come of us. It’s not going to be very pretty in the future.
