Of course you know I would just never unleash a vicious attack like mocking a fake-patriot or faux-elitist move like wrapping ones bullshit in either the flag or the cross. Just have to point out that the flag lapel pin, the one Republicans bitched and whined so much about Democrats not wearing, the one Lisa Czeladtko is wearing in the picture chosen by Gag-Zette writer Daniel Chacon when "calling out" Ed over his Free Speech opposing a political candidate. Not that The Gag-zette (Colorado Springs Gazette, "Freedom" Communications") has ever so much as given a mild tsk-tsk'ing to violent attacks on Free Speech in Colorado Springs, usually instigated by City Council or persons very close to them.St Paddies Day 2007 leaps to my mind. Or to Fake Patriotism. You'll notice, if you're observant, that the "flag" in question has 7 stripes and 18 stars. It's a sign of the depths of rabble rousing the "elitists" will plumb when wanting to silence any opposition to their agenda as "unpatriotic" and Anti-Christ. "Calling out" by the way, is in Colorado and other Western states, a challenge to physical violence. Usually issued by a heavily armed Coward who is so sure of victory that he assumes he can force the other person to apologize for saying anything. Then go get drunk with his redneck comrades. Might makes right, Oderint dum Metuant "let them hate us as long as they fear us". Maybe Chacon should more carefully consider HIS choice of words. That way he wouldn't leave himself open to Attacks errr... criticism that lumps him in with the likes of Caligula, King Charles II of England and George W. Bush. So the Rich Pigs are afraid their piglets will see what poverty looks like, instead of, as Ms Lisa Siddhattha suggests, hiding the poverty from the delicate eyes of the Piglets? Lest they see the human price of their own opulent lifestyle. Actually, her ties to Developers, like the Flag Pin, betray her true agenda. According to the Developer Religion, evidenced by the Real Estate Developer who "founded" Colorado Springs, the idolatrous statue of whom sits in the meddle of the intersection at the Northwest corner of Acacia Park, According to their money worship Cult of Mammon, the sight of poverty in CS would drive down real estate prices. Therefore they wouldn't have enough blood-money profits from selling their stolen-at-gunpoint land. One of their High Priestesses, Janis Heuberger, wrote in her blog that Bicycles should be banned from acacia Park, because "only the Homeless" ride bicycles. There were further suggestions by one of her sycophantic supporters that people who LOOK homeless should be banned from city parks. Imagine that, the "non-elitists" as they style themselves, seeking to impose a conformist dress code on the citizens of Colorado Springs. To protect their profit margin. And even ban an economical, non-wasteful and healthy form of transportation. Unless you drive a gas-guzzler you're not welcome in Colorado Springs. Nothing elitist about that, No Sir! And failing to admit that it was Real Estate Developers who

Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Men
According to the Tennessee Fire-non-Fighter who watched his neighbors' house burn to the ground, with the fire crew standing around to make sure fire didn't spread to their own properties, called his actions "Robust, Masculine Christianity" a new-old method of trying to justify ones evil deeds by re-translating the Bible to edit out any forms of compassion, sharing, care for ones neighbors, family, people they'd never met... So here are a few other things that define Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Men, A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man lets his neighbors house burn down. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man cares so much about his Nation that he won't send anything more than a "prayer guide" card to surviving victims of flood, tornado, earthquake, rampaging murderers, outlining how Christ demands that nobody help ones neighbor, and detailing how to Toughen Up and just get over it. Rush Limbaugh, (m)Ann Coulter, etc, did that for everybody from the widows of VietNam Agent Orange victims, 9/11 firemen and anybody from New Orleans who wasn't rich enough to escape the Katrina Flood. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man doesn't care if his children, parents, or even himself contract e-coli or Salmonella from contaminated unregulated foodstuff, he shrugs and says, "Oh, well, MOST people who die from e-coli or salmonella had other health problems (like, being very old, very young, pregnant, just had a baby... you know, Not Robust Macho Men) so it doesn't matter. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man especially doesn't care when it's somebody else's kids, and especially if he owns stock in the corporations that sold the poison food. He merely does as Boxer did in the book "Animal Farm", after he worked himself almost to death, and the Pigs sold his still breathing body for dog food, according to Master Propagandist Glenn "Squealer" Beck, his last words were "I Will Work Harder for my corporate whore-lords even though it's going to kill me and my family" A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man refuses to believe that anybody ever becomes rich by inheriting stolen money or by stealing that money for themselves, it's always bread that the wealthy earned by the sweat of their (servants') brow. And their newly "discovered" proper translation of the Bible by people who don't speak any more Aramaic or Classic Hebrew than he does and they told him that it's true. Sean Hannity said it, he believes it, that settles it. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that Richard Cheney and George Bush, being elected by a minority of the voters, were thus appointed and anointed by God, Himself, to have the rule over all the land, and all foreign lands as well, "Love God and Obey the King" and if somebody points out that America doesn't actually HAVE a king, he will shout down that Upstart Rebellious Peasant and call the police on him if he doesn't shut up. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that the previous rule doesn't
Tennessee Fire-Non-Fighters and the Bible
The language used by the fire-non-fighter is heavily ingrained indoctrination. There's a movement with some familiar names on the letterheads, spokesfreaks not leaders, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Malkin... people whose ambitions are to create an American Sha'ariah based on their own interpretation of the Word. Or more importantly how the words of the Word get translated into English. They believe that somehow King James was a Liberal. Rather than the really vicious killer he was, and point to speculations on his sexuality, which really doesn't make three quarters of a fat rats ass. The dude was a killer, that trumps any other social or moral consideration you could think of. But the contention is that the Shakespearian English, and they toss in the "Shakespeare was queer, you know" wink wink nudge nudge low-flying canard as evidence, used in the KJV 1611 was "effeminate". Oh, he's a lumberjack, he's okay. (so gay?) And they're actually Re-Writing the Bible to reflect what they think it should be. Nothing new there. Even by their own admission. Many of them cite the "Thou shalt not Kill" commandment, saying that "They" meaning, not the person speaking who is as ignorant of who "They" are as he is of the actual grammatical structure of Classical Hebrew, BUT "They" Apocryphally proved that it really should have said "Thou shalt not Murder" and thus place a distinction among the concepts of Killings not authorized by the King-du-jour and those which are authorized. AND then make the silly ass demand that WE, the "peasants", never question "Their" word on it. Does Hannity or Malkin or Beck or Jack van Impe or any single one of their Demented Demonic Disciples actually speak Classical Hebrew fluently? I've never met one who does and I've been in fundamentalist churches all my life. The same way the Lying Freaks say that They, and only They, can possibly know the Original Intent of the "Founding Fathers" who just by a coincidence aren't the ones who actually FOUGHT the revolution, but those Wealthy Landed Aristocrats who commanded it. And the sources of their Arcane-yet-Unquestionable Knowledge of the Constitution are the sources of the Religious Revisionists. Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich are also in their sorry lying ChickenHawk lot. But they're going to, just like the Fire-Non-Fighter, claim that somehow They have been given the revelation that Thou Shalt Not Kill is a grammatical error in a language none of Them even speaks. Apparently the concept has been sold to more than a few individuals. And it's Mighty Convenient if those who seek to rule over everybody else offer up their version of the Word of God as being the unquestionable basis of their so-called "Authority". God Himself hath verily told us through secret Revelation that we of course are not obligated to prove in any way, that YOU must bow down before us, and accept our Mighty Rule as surely as you would His, without question or dissent Nothing new there either. The contention against "bad" kings as opposed to
Oil Company/TeaBag hypocrisy in Action
Just before ANOTHER Gulf coast oil rig explosion, and following the example of FOX News Demagogue Glenn Beck, the parent corporation of the Oil Rig in question bussed in employees of their company, Just Like Fox Did at Beck's Washing Tundy See lie-fest... to a "grass roots" political rally against making Oil Corporations actually use safety equipment and obey actual laws. It should be noted that this "grassroots" protest was coordinated by Fox News and their related Corporate Whores, to be an adjunct of Beck's Canned Nurnberg Rally. And in Typical Fox/Beck/TeaBag Hypocrite Fashion the ONLY industry and the ONLY people they give a Rat's Ass about are their Corporate Sponsors. The rest of the people in the region, whose livelihoods were devastated, and the people of the whole WORLD who are going to have to face the consequences of their Corporate Stupidity for decades, perhaps centuries, to come, well, we can all go fish. Oil Company Profits are supreme, Fox says so and we Peasants had better get used to it. The Story: ThinkProgress points out that both Mariner Energy and Apache Corp. were at a rally just yesterday to protest the Obama administration’s temporary moratorium on offshore drilling. ThinkProgress pulled the following from the Financial Times Companies ranging from Chevron to Apache bussed in up to 5,000 employees to the Houston convention centre to underline to Washington the industry’s contribution to the country. ... “I have been in the oil and gas industry for 40 years, and this administration is trying to break us,” said Barbara Dianne Hagood, senior landman for Mariner Energy, a small company. “The moratorium they imposed is going to be a financial disaster for the gulf coast, gulf coast employees and gulf coast residents.” and this administration is trying to break us, Yeah, right. Lying Bitch. By the way, I don't call most women "Bitch" and even have been known to call so-called Men "Bitches". Just, you know, throwing their stupidity back at them. They throw the grenade, I pick it up, pull the pin, and toss it back. But the Obama Administration extended their leases and granted them new leases, hardly the actions of somebody who is an Anti-Corporate Socialist as they paint him to be. When they break away from calling him other names they consider to be damning, like Black, African American, and Muslim. They have to break away from their Racist and Religious Bigotry to toss in the lie about him being Anti-Corporate. Which they're loath to do, as the Racist and Religious bigotry sells better to their intended audience. In case you didn't follow any of the links, what happened is right after this Pity Us For The Wealthy Are So Badly Victimized rally, another Oil Well exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Something the Oil-Company controlled Media are reluctant to report.
The Love it or Leave it crap again.
America has freedom still, or what little is left, because of the actions of Dissidents, not Conformists. The Army didn't give us these freedoms, save by surrendering their claims to any authority to do otherwise. Most certainly the wars in which the Army is engaged today, and has been steadily engaged in since the "cessation of hostilities" in 1945, have all been wars of Imperialism, to stamp out freedom wherever it rears its head. Nothing more or less than being Thug Enforcers for the Corporate Owners of the American Empire. You can't handle Freedom of Speech, YOU can get the hell out. There's plenty of Banana Republics in the world being propped up for the profit of their American Masters, by American Military presence. A long list from Abu Dabi to Zanzibar and all points in between. Your corporate masters have bankrupted America on their way to Global Dominance. That's not in any way related to freedom and you should stop lying about it. Your Army is currently trying to lynch Spec. Bradley Manning for doing something you've never considered doing, too frightened I suppose. He MANNED THE HELL UP and told the truth and brought forth Proof to back it up. And neither Your Pentagon nor Bush nor Obama have managed to do either one.
Mornin’ Joe gives left-handed endorsement of anti-hate speech
Sort of. Scarborough ended up his comments on the Right Wing Lunatic Fringe and their Retarded "Ground Zero Mosque" anti-freedom anti-Muslim Racist Rants. But at the end, he says, "that's what freedom is about, not just people you like, but PEOPLE you hate as well". Meaning, he's not hating on Islam. He's HATING Muslim PEOPLE. AMERICAN Muslim people. Still comes up as an Anti-American Puke. TeaBags, Minutemen, other Nazi and KKK hate groups, YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, AUTHORITY OR POWER TO DECIDE WHO IS OR IS NOT AN AMERICAN And you never WILL have such rights or privileges. What will you do about it, have Sarah Palin come burn a cross on my lawn?
The Bellamy Salute, One Nation under Canada
A year or so later, under pressure from people who were disturbed that the same salute was used by German kids saying a similar oath to THEIR (idolatrous) flag (graven image made from cloth) did the protocol for saying the Pledge (which is NOT mandated in the Constitution, in any Federal Law or UCMJ military regulation, by the way) was modified to use three OTHER Roman salutes, the one you use in court to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and which Military personnel and other Government officials use to swear the oaths of their respective offices, with the right arm extended to the side and bent up at the elbow with right hand extended toward heaven. (NOT a Christian or any form of Judaic tradition!), the right hand placed above the right eye in what soldiers recognize as the method with which they salute their officers, or salute the flag as it passes or is raised or lowered on the flagpole, and the Right Hand being placed over the heart. None of these is a Christian invention, the four salutes including the Bellamy salute were used by Roman citizens and their Slaves in conquered provinces (sound familiar?) to swear allegiance to regimental colors, to their "masters" or to images of or representations of the name of whichever Emperor held power at the time, and say "Ave _____ (name of the person being saluted)" "Ave Caesar" or "Ave Roma". Soldiers typically had the emblems of their rank and service either on their helmets or worn over their heart, which the ROMANS taught was the center of the human body and home of the soul. Everybody else in the known universe use the Dah nti Em, the spot within your belly and just below the navel, as the center of your soul. That includes Jews and the Other Jews who made up the early Church. Rome had complete freedom of religion, as long as you worship the Emperor as well. Hence the "Ave Caesar" routine. To pass by a bust or written name or picture of Caesar without doing so would mark you for crucifixion. Much like the more Radical freaks who say we should honor the Flag the same way, under pain of punishment for Treason. They also had the "right to freedom of speech" as long as they also praised Caesar or Rome. Kind of defeats the purpose, you're free to disagree with yourself and contradict any criticism of the Emperor or the State by saying something that's remarkably like "God Bless America" or "support the Troops" or "I pledge Allegiance". in front of and behind each such statement. Much like the Reich Wing insist WE should do. Early Christians and other Jews refused to worship Caesar, because it is in fact Idolatry and throwing in a Graven Image breaks the first three of the Commandments. Christians in the 1930s (and other dissidents, many of them at least ethnically Jewish) made note of those facts and quite
Store-bought patriotism and the futility of trying to shame the shameless
If you want the image in full-size, it's more than 1400x800. See, I'm not a flag-waver. I DO however know at least Some of the flag code. One is that you're only supposed to display a flag in an environment consistent with the design. That does NOT include displaying a cloth flag from a Motorized Vehicle. The stress from the slipstream-wind will rip it, fray it and eventually break it off. One excuse the faux-patriot, real jackoff had for not retrieving his $1.93 WalMart special store bought "patriotism" might have been that it was lost in the rain. Which is TWO violations for the price of one. Maybe he has one of the Zero Tolerance jobs where the boss would fire him if he took the couple of minutes to stop, retrieve his Fake Patriotism and was thus two minutes late.Who knows? I found one buried half way in Mud at the entrance to the Employee Parking Lot at Bell-Textron in Ft Worth, where all these Super Fakeriots who made their living off other people dying, (war industry) passed it by every day for a week. One I found in Woodland Park in a ratt's nest alongside 24. And knowing FULL WELL that these same Jackoffs would wave it in my face and try to shame me by their fake display of even faker patriotism, because I don't support their war. There's a phrase, "war of convenience", how about a "patriotism of convenience"? Grow some REAL patriotism. Stand up to the Warmongering freaks who are dragging America into the same muddy ditch I found the flag in today. A flag is for one purpose, to allow your comrades to know where you are and not fire on your position. That's why they came into existence. Some flags are designated as "all weather". If you're in a forward post and need your flag to identify your position, day and night and in all weather, that's what you use. Ships at Sea don't even strike their colors when they make port. In Maritime Law you're required to fly a flag designating which nation holds the registration of the ship. I know it's impossible to get further from a shore or other national boundary in America than Colorado Springs. Actually Salinas Kansas. If somebody has made it all the way to Colorado Springs and still doesn't realize he's in the U.S. is too stupid to educate, and no amount of flag waving is going to do him any good. I don't say the idolatrous pledge of allegiance, an oath to a graven image, part of it being "one nation under God" meaning they're blaming GOD for their war crimes.
Checkup- get one now, or get one later
The theme of a commercial sponsored by Aventis Pharmaceuticals and played today on Fox between football games. Big Pharma and Fox, the ones who are trying To Make It God-Damned Impossible for uninsured people to be able to Get A Checkup Or Any Other Form Of Health Care. A Scene: Lady in doctors' office being questioned about a heart issue.. B Scene: Coroner examining body and saying "Cause of death Myocardial Infarction" (A type of heart attack) into his recording device. Next... Scene A: Doctor asking same woman about symptoms of Diabetes... Back to the coroner adding diabetes into the diagnosis. back to the doctors office, lady being asked about diet and exercise Blurb about "You can get a Check-up now, or get one later". Back to Coroner pulling a sheet over the face of the patient. Oh, yeah, Fox News, Aventis, GREAT ADVICE... considering how much you bastards are trying to keep Health Care as a privilege of the Wealthy. Even if the poor could get an appointment for a checkup under your Wealthy Elite Regime, they wouldn't be able to afford the Aventis Patented (and obscenely overpriced) medications. So what's the deal, Lucille? What's the plan, Stan? You rubbing our noses in the fact that you're Rich and we aren't? "Nanny-nanny boo boo, stick your head in doodoo, there's medicine that could save your life but you can't have any because we're Better Than You because we have money and You Don't Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha and we've got a small (extremely small) Army of Redneck Tea Party Idiots conned into pressuring Congress to keep it that way forever. All we have to do is tell the Stupid Goobers that they're going to lose their Freedom if people get adequate health care, and they're too freakishly STUPID to realize that they'll be left out too, we'll kick their collective STUPID arse back into their Slave Quarters". Some people are born out of wedlock. Some others are Self-Made Bastards. They didn't get the name at birth so they spend their lifetimes earning it.
