DENVER, COLORADO- The annual Western Conservative Summit convened at the Colorado Convention Center on Friday but not without loud protestations from Occupy Denver activists. Denver police held their own demonstration of how to trample civil liberties when their Republican clients command it.
RPtard – An American voter who’s peeing himself silly at the prospect of Ron Paul snatching the democracy movement for the Fascists, but who shortly will be rolled into the Republican Party like every other Teabag Libertarian antisocial supremacist before him.
Which is a smack to the back of the head to all those who told us in 1984 that the Police State setup from the BOOK of the same name couldn’t possibly happen in America because it was all about Socialist Dystopia and nobody, no not ever, could set up a CAPITALIST dictatorship. God, they’re stupid.
But here’s what the post 9/11 “patriotism” has gotten us. Eight years of a moron for president, an evil moron but a moron. His crew of more intelligent evil people used the occasion to make it unpatriotic to question their plans to deregulate American industries. We’ve seen a 9/11 worth of dead Americans every single month due to denial of Health Care. We’ve seen pollution that al Qa’eda could only hope to inflict on any one small town, done daily and across the nation. We’ve seen our national surplus turned upside down, and many multiples of the amount of that surplus in debt, due to the Wars started by the aforementioned Moron in response to 9/11. The badly misnamed USA PATRIOT Act is being invoked against Julian Assange and Wikileaks in response to their telling the TRUTH about 9/11 and the aforementioned wars, the moron who started them and the morons who still follow his leadership even though it’s destroyed what used to be America. Those Morons have banded together into Right Wing Terrorist Groups such as the TeaParty, Minutemen and other “patriotic” front-ends for the Ku Klux Klan. 
They’ll be flying plenty of the Hate Flag. By Tea-Klan MORONS such as this couple who made their Wedding into a Hate-fest. Yep, that’s right, they’re celebrating their wedding with symbols of Starting A Racist War which killed half a million Americans in order to keep according to the 1860 census 3,950,528 Americans in perpetual bondage based on the color of their skin.
To deny AMERICANS the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness spoken of, ever so nobly, in a revered document written by a Slaveowner. So much for the “original intent”, Jefferson spoke of Liberty in one paper then wrote whole books demonizing Black Americans and condemning them to slavery.
You find that a lot in the “original intent” doctrine espoused by those who want to return America to an official slave nation.
Emboldened by the level of pure ignorant and racist Hatred engendered by 9/11.
So, De-Celebrate it by burning the Racist Flag.
And, not just those of us who are of Darker Skin, or mixed “race”.
Every WHITE person in the world has a stake in this as well, a huge stake because it will only be by the WHITES rejecting the label the Racist PurkMeisters like the Tea-Klan want to place on All White People.
They would have me and thee and she and he and we and everybody in the whole world believe that all white people are as stupid, ignorant and hate filled as they are.
So I’m calling on the so-called “white race” to step up and redeem and reclaim the dignity of what their and my white relatives have done FOR the world. Of course, a lot of it is mixed in with some very stupid and often Evil crap.
The world wars saw many millions of mostly “christian” whites killed by other “christian” whites. Literally marched into belt-fed water-cooled machine gun fire.
And those wars, like the ones leading up to it, some of them so long and vicious they’re called by the number of years they took between declaring war and declaring peace, just for the sake of simplicity.
Which were also direct pre-cursors to the American Civil War and, yes, planted the seeds of Hatred which blossomed so brightly on 9/11 and afterward.
The Colorado Springs city and county governments are giving away red-white-blue ribbons pledging never to forget, with the suggestion that we put them on our trees, mailboxes, fences.. fuck that.
I’ll probably be picking up hundreds of them off the roads and out of the ditches the same way I STILL pick up those stupid damned antenna flags that “patriots” lose off their cars and don’t go back to retrieve them.
In fact I’m going to go around with a camera taking pictures of the ribbons and flags, the store-bought fake-ass “patriotism”, laying in the weeds and ditches and mud-gutters as I’m picking them up and it will be a reminder of the SHAME those ignorant Socially Retarded Animated Sphincters (walking assholes) bring to their own definitions of “patriotism”.
Blind racism and fear of Arabs, whether or not the Arabs are Christian, Jewish or Muslim, (yes, people, your stupid stereotypes are WRONG, take THAT, byotches!) and in fact there was a “Mosque” AT THE TWIN TOWERS which was being used for prayers at the moment the attack began. There were Muslims on the planes who were merely Passengers. In fact for all anybody knows, the ones credited with the kill might have just been passengers who happened to be Arabic.
None of the alleged hijackers were from Iraq or Afghanistan.
Indeed, among the many victims of 9/11 were several dozen innocent Muslims, ranging in age from their late 60s to a couple’s unborn child. Six of these victims were Muslim women, including one who was 7 months pregnant. Many were stockbrokers or restaurant workers, earning a living to care for their families. There were converts and immigrants, hailing from over a dozen different countries and the U.S. There were heroes: a NYPD cadet and a Marriott hotel worker, who sacrificed their lives attempting to rescue others. The Muslim victims were parents to over 30 children, who were left orphaned
Also many of the victims were “illegal” Immigrants who were working at or near the Towers, another group of people the Hate-Freak Confederate Tea-Klan like to demonize.
Again, take THAT, byotches! Fold your bigotry and prejudice and racism until it’s all sharp corners and shove it up your collective Arse, sideways so it hurts more.
…but that homeless women breed like rabbits. And while I wasn’t there at the rally at UCCS or however the hell they put it, it strikes me that it’s incredibly unlikely that he used the PEOPLE noun to modify the “homeless” adjective. I’ve noticed a tendency among the Repub/Tea Potty “leaders” here to forget that part.
So, Bob, it’s like this bubba. Seriously. Your Pomar Foundation welcomed George W into town for a Blasphemy Session yesterday. Guess you’re a supporter of his policies, yes? See, he and Your Party don’t just kill people with bullets and bombs. Although I suspect that’s your prefered method.
No, they also kill people by manipulating economic systems to favor a very few wealthy at the expense of a very huge large humongous outrageously big majority of the people, many of whom suffer from such diseases of Society as a result thereof, as Homelessness. Your Heroic Lion-Heart Bush made and indeed, as a consultant still makes, for instance Mexico into a nightmare state. His puppet dictators there have, at the insistence of YOUR Right Wing fellow-travelers, destroyed Mexico’s economy using the same techniques they’re applying to the economy of the United States today. The fast answer is that the devastation Capitalism has wrought in Mexico in the past two decades has brought infant mortality up to American Standards. Seems with all that Socialized Medicine they were leaders in the hemisphere in Infant Survival rates. The U.S. has had a third world rate for a while and, thanks to the policies being visited on us by YOUR party, it’s going to get worse. So, Bob, all those extra babies caused by among other things YOUR party’s War on Contraception, it’ll balance out by your War on Health Care manifesting itself by killing off a substantial percentage of those babies. I know you’ll get comfort from that.
Fewer scions of the Poor who will outshine your Demon Spawn in education thus shaming you when they realize you were lying about Poor people being inferior.
Take, for instance, Mexico. In Latin America Mexico was a major star because they had a revolutionary system that outlasted the Soviet Union. PEMEX, Petroleo Mexico, the state-owned Oil industry, paid for among other things food subsidies and medical and dental and educational programs that put America quite frankly to shame. But, Capitalism can’t survive without Universal Participation so something had to be done. All those U.S. and U.K. trillion dollar corporations, eating their own intestines over the thought that Mexican “PEASANTS” were denying them Their Sacred Right To Own Everything, Especially Shit They Don’t Own like sovereign nations. Something had to be done! Those Bad Ol’ Socialists were denying you the privilege of running other nations as though they were divisions of your Diseased Corporate System! HOW DARE THEY!?!!!
Mexico had a higher rate of literacy than the United States, still does because you can’t actually take away an education once it’s been achieved, and your Privatize Everything bullshit artists have succeeded in trashing American Public Education. I bet that makes you very happy because more Morons like your tea-party supporters means fewer people with sufficient education to challenge your Lies. Simple equation and somebody in your party succeeded in “You do the math” like Potatoe Boy J Danforthe Quayle quipped.
The agricultural subsidies which produced a healthy diet for the vast majority of Mexicans? Sold under Reagan/Bush the Elder orders to companies like Monsanto.
It wasn’t a Drug Cartel, it was instead a Cartel of Generals.
General Foods, General Dynamics before they changed their name, General Mills, General Motors, General Electric….
Now corn, the staple of the Mexican diet for thousands of years, is more expensive there than it is in America. Monsanto and GE and Exxon-Mobil and BP have their hands on what amounts to the entire crop in Mexico. Leaving the people to starve, but, hey, Why Should YOU Care, Bob? The Mexicans brought it on themselves, right? The same way impoverished people in every nation touched by your Capitalist Plague “brought it on themselves”.
Mexico had universal medical and dental care. Quality, too. Unlike the bullshit propaganda when Reagan was grandstanding, invading Grenada thus covering his political ass for his Latin America policy and Mideast Policy combining in Lebanon with more than 300 U.S. Marines being killed with weapons sold by the Good Ol’ U.S.A. in the Iran/Contra scam.
Your good friend and fellow Lion-Heart Hero Ollie North and his friends are still wealthy with money dripping with the blood of his fellow Marines.
But to stave off the embarrassment of that fiasco, Reagan ordered the invasion of another Sovereign Nation, Grenada, on the pretext that they were a “Communist Domino” in Latin America.
And how a Cuban run Medical School, which provides more doctors to the region than the United States, Canada and Europe combined, was targeted.
Much Stupid Talk was made that the Grenada medical schools were “inferior” Bull Shit. Some of the poorest nations in the world were exhibiting a higher standard of education than your privatized system and you Capitalist Sucks just couldn’t stand that. Rather than build up Our system you decided to tear down Theirs. Way To Go, LOSERS!.
Now, since NAFTA and CAFTA provided a “free” market where the people of Mexico were automatically excluded from participation, things have gone to Hell in Mexico. According to your own Right Wing statistics, immigration from Mexico is way up.
Imagine that, all those decades under the yoke of Socialist Slavery and they only start escaping en (starving, desperate) masse AFTER your lovely wonderful economic “Freedom” was imposed on them.
Woo, Doggies thems some good statistics!
Speaking, of, Bob, and I’ve been holding this last for a while, there’s a rumor among people in the Homeless Community here that you hold Central American Refugees as slaves. Your organization and you, Bob Holmes, personally. Something about taking their Immigration documents “for safekeeping” and if they tell any of your sordid secrets you pull your sponsorship and they’re on the bus back to long-time established Corporate Satrapy El Salvador. El Salvador with it’s U.S. Trained death squads. The ones who kill priests, nuns, doctors and children to combat the dangerous “liberation theology” notion that people being equal arctually means that we’re equals.
Guess some of you have spent enough of your stolen Blood Money to make yourselves More Equal.
See, I could never confirm that. It’s just a rumor but you know, that “breeding like rabbits” crap just makes it more believable. Also the notion that you have a couple of detectives from the Crimes Against Persons division running cover for you.
So, what, Bob, now that you have an established (through rigged voting) City Council pledged in advance to ignore and even destroy the rights of Homeless People, what next? Do your proposed rules for Homeless People include Slavery, as many of us have interpreted it to be? A “Paupers/Debtors Prison” system straight out of 1840s London?
Never mind that the debt and poverty were created by Fraudulent Dealings on the part of YOUR party. Are you now poised to take advantage of that and drive America deep into the worst excesses of Dark Ages feudalism?
Many say that you are, and I for one agree.
You could, you know, accept redemption for stupid remarks like “breeding like rabbits” by doing as He said, “go, sell all that thou hast, give the money to the poor, and take up thy cross and follow Me”.
But it is, indeed, much harder for a Rich man to enter into The Kingdom than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
So, the DumFox leaders became so frightened of the hordes of non-white-anglo-saxons having the majority of the votes, if the representative districts were counted correctly, they thought of a brilliant (in their opinion) plan to skew the results of the census by getting the more ignorant of the White Anglo Saxon Protestant DumFox to boycott the Census, thereby giving them an excuse. Mind you, they’re still operating under the fiction that the Republican and Tea parties are somehow separate entities from each other and that NewsCorp is a separate entity from both. The most hard-core TeaBag morons know this, but prefer to lie about it.
Now, Bush’s anointed replacement as Governor of Texas, Tom DeLay and his ventriloquist dummy Rick GoodHair Perry, forced a redistricting 8 years early after the last census, to insure more Republican dominated districts. They did skew that census, really hard, by spreading a terroristic rumor in minority (but now combined MAJORITY) communities similar to the retarded ones they spread in the Redneck Hoam Skewl Ignorant communities with the current census. GoodHair and Co. ain’t barkin’ real loudly about redistricting almost a decade early this time. Instead, they’re going to make the motion that the Census be disregarded because they themselves broke it. Oh, yeah, that’s right, they’re still pretending that Fox News and Rush Limbaugh don’t actually work for them and Fox is saying they’re fair, balanced and have no agenda.
They’re using the same flawed interpretation of The Pottery Barn Rule “you broke it you bought it” that they used when they “suddenly realized” that their wars against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan were destroying their nations.
OOPSIE..
Problem with that is, the rule they cite isn’t “you broke it, you can now force other people to pay for it AND force them to pay to fix it and then you can have it for the small price of breaking it”.
With the Retardican “justices” on the Supreme Court, like Scalia and Clarence “uncle” Thomas, loyal like only really stupid people can be, subservient to the Korporate Klan Kartel, they might have a chance to get it “legally” approved.
But that assumes that the victims of their crimes, the American people, will tolerate it and meekly submit.
And the stupid bastards often make statements wondering why people would throw airplanes at their Temples to their god Mammon.
“Why don’t those peasants simply agree with our assessment of them as being Inferior Beings, and bow before our (non-elitist non-Racist) White Supremacy?”
Apparently, too, they couldn’t get enough TeaBags and other White Wing Freaks (but only in a non-racist non-elitist sense of White Supremacy)
to actually go and face the very angry Union workers who they’re trying to screw through legislation. Maybe they suddenly pulled their heads out of their collective Arse and realized that they miscalculated how far their Astroturf roots don’t really go.
Maybe DumFox News didn’t plan ahead and rent a fleet of Greyhounds to bus them in.
Or D) all of the above.
As oil industry crony Lisa Murkowski retains her Alaska senate seat, did she “make history” by being the first official in 50 years to succeed as a write-in candidate, or did she make history by demonstrating that incumbents can beat every last determined effort to throw them out? The otherwise incorrigibly-Republican Murkowsky was rejected in her own party’s primary, so she defied her constituents by running under the stealth Incumbent Party, DC’s most heavily funded lobby arm, representing corporate polluters, profiteers, pillagers and other profaners of Democracy, enlisting the help of even Alaska’s poorest spellers to ensure that nothing will dislodge America’s corrupt Mandarins.
We the electorate have been warned that “REPUBLICORP” will be unveiled as the dreaded merger of the GOP and corporate masters. Unconcatenated into the spiffy boo-word is mention of the Democratic Party, a wholly-powned subsidiary. Sure they’re the voices sounding the alarm, and they will certainly blame the victim where voters fail to elect Dem incumbents. Or WHAT will befall us? The sky falls apparently, if the Republicans regain the majority in Congress. Although Dems won the majority during Bush’s term, but couldn’t subpoena squat. And those were the halcyon days before super majorities and the virtual filibuster. I bet Washington Democrats can’t wait to be delivered from their put-on-the-breaks personas and resume unabashedly rolling in the loot of unfettered capitalist rape.
Michael Moore calls the Republicans the bigger criminals, but I have to say, there’s something about a lying petty criminal that’s much more offensive, especially when you can tell the petty fiend has aspirations to larceny every bit as grand.
Myself, I am simply salivating at the satisfaction of seeing the bullshit party cretins decamp.
When it’s not in fact Rumors. Rumors would be started and spread through grass roots.
What IS the case is a Republican-Ku Klux Klan joint action of Disinformation with deliberate lies spread as though they were actual facts, through such Well-Respected Journalistic Engines as FOX Noise Nutwerx and the Globe, a “newspaper” that makes the National Enquirer look like a serious News Outlet. The sources were all paid operatives of both the Republican Party and a Klan organization called StormFront.
And the word of a so-called Forgery expert named Jerome Corsi. Who according to one spin of his story learned the art of Forgery by forging documents for the CIA and Military.
The AP’s own “rumor control” starts with a blazing huge headline “Obama a secret muslim, not a citizen…” in large type and then in smaller type “believed by many in mainstream even without evidence”.
So, what, people who read only the headline aren’t going to think that AP officially endorses the “rumors”? Does the writing and editorial staff at AP, supposedly experts in mass communications, believe that people not accustomed to reading past the headline will actually NOT think that AP OFFICIALLY endorses the Disinformation Campaign?
Some might argue that it began before George Dubya. Apparently the US public’s distrust of politics is placated by believing its fate is in the hands of someone they could feel comfortable having a beer with. I’d say it began in earnest with the cardboard figurehead Ronald Reagan, and continued through the wimp and slick Wimpy. The perceived acuity of the US president has since been diminished ad absurdum to an incoherent, uneducated, illiterate inebriate. The ascension of Barack Obama marks a change meant to refresh voter confidence, but clearly our government’s winning motif is taking a not so distant back seat. Americans need someone with whom to feel superior, if not in the highest office, at least among his foils.
We saw it in Obama’s purported campaign opponents Wrong-way McCain and the sans pareil Sarah the Plain. With Republicans willing to plumb heretofore unfathomable shallows to foist its characters, there appears to be no end of candidates for rodeo clown.
While I’m inclined to think these caricatures are fashioned by the media’s framework, mano a mano performance like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal make me a believer in the solo tour de force majeure, excuse me, grand malheur. Could Jindal’s rebuttal to President Obama’s congressional address have been any weaker? It’s hard for me to predict that SNL will give us anything other than the Palin treatment, lampooning Jindal’s insipid pitch by reprising it verbatim.
Now you’ve been to a doctor, you’ve watched your lawyer kick ass, you’ve taken the sage advice of accountants, you’ve been impressed by museum docents, grateful to police officers, seen miracles performed by plumbers. I’ve even found myself in the debt of cable installers, and more often then not, public clerks. Are we to then believe that Bobby Jindal and ilk are the best our public offices can offer?
A former Georgian ambassador to Russia has caused uproar in Georgia by saying his country, not Russia, started August’s war over South Ossetia. Will the messenger be killed now? Of course, Mr Kitsmarishvili still doesn’t have it right since it was the Republican Party in the US that started this war, not just the Georgian dictator, Saakashvili. That guy is just a US government puppet and not a loose cannon as the US government and media now want to portray him as being.
Now how do we try to stop new war aginst Russia being started from Washington DC, since Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is continuing the Bush foreign policy with Dubya’s Gates at the helm? Something to take up in your local ‘Peace’crat grouplet, perhaps?
Fox’s Carl Cameron: Palin ‘didn’t understand that Africa was a continent.’ Well now they tell us, do they?
Let’s just say that the Republican Party Fat Cats know exactly what lost them the Presidency for 4 years, and they don’t want Sarah Palin being a continual noose around all their necks.
Maybe, too, this is what John McCain meant when he said that he alone was to blame for the loss? He picked her because he had lust in his heart, and she was one hot potato! Too hot, in fact, for the Republicans to have her around for long.
You might want to take that Special Other on a Valentines Day cruise this coming February? I don’t have the money for it, but maybe John Weiss who is owner of the Colorado Springs Independent does? He could take his new wife and report back to the dedicated readers of his publication about that 2009 romantic Republican cruise! It would be of great service to the community if he would? Surprise your Sweetheart, John, and thanks ahead of time for the report back. You two will have a blast!
To book your reservation, go to Young American’s Foundation and step on board with the cruise missile leadership team under the navigation of Captain Ed Moose!
ON MONDAY OCTOBER 20th, at 12:30pm, Colorado College students will hold a PUBLIC MARCH to mark the first day of EARLY VOTING in the 2008 presidential election. Students will assemble at Worner Center, and march straight downtown to the El Paso County Registrar. This action will call attention to the need to go early to the polls, in case voters encounter challenges to their registrations. I’m more encouraged simply that students are taking to the streets because I believe, like Emma Goldman, “If voting could change anything, it would be illegal.” Would Goldman be so revered a social reformer if people didn’t recognize, deep down, the wisdom of her words?
Students at Colorado College have in years past faced regular disenfranchisement at the voting booth because local election administrators chose to muddy the qualifications for whether out-of-state students could vote in El Paso County. This year, plans to enforce a similar policy were leaked, and the county was forced to deny its intentions. As yet, student organizers do not know what to expect on November 4.
In the past, El Paso County has been such a God-forsaken Republican bastion that election rigging was probably unnecessary. It’s conjectured that this year, facing a growing Democratic electorate, local officials will be so eager for the region to hold to its conservative-idiot tradition that they will justify any means to do it.
I’ve seen the Republican partisanship on display at even ordinary county meetings. The Clerk and Recorder, Bob Balink for example, wears his Republican allegiance like a soccer fan. It would be no exaggeration I’m sure to speculate that Bob Balink will bite off your left foot sooner than let progressive ideas contaminate his hillbilly heaven. He travels to the Denver legislature on a regular basis to report back about what the crazy Democrats are trying to do. Every county commission meeting begins with his scouting tips about what progressive threats his Republican colleagues face over the horizon.
Conservatism in Colorado Springs stands for cronies, imbecilic cretins and the clan. In the 1930s the Pikes Peak region was the Colorado stronghold of the Klan. I’ve no doubt a lot of these guys still have their clan robes. In fact most recently the Minutemen, the post-9/11 incarnation of the KKK, held its recruitment meetings in a Colorado Springs Police Substation community room. It included, I kid you not, a recruiting inducement lifted verbatim and without irony, from the KKK.
Maybe a daylight demonstration of public unwillingness to be represented by bigots –who continue to parade about as if their support is unanimous– will push their politics back into the stagnant backwater of their fenced no-immigrants-welcome backyards where it belongs.
Obama is way out in the lead and pulling away from McCain fast! See RealClearPolitics for summary of multiple polls that show this. Saying this in no way implies that the Republicans will be routed out of the Deep South and Sunbelt/ Farm belt rural areas of the country.
Take another look at RealClear’s electoral map of the race McCain is now out of the running in Pennsylvania and without that state, even winning in all the battleground states still would not be enough to put him over the top. With the economy crashing, his support will be slipping further in places like Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Indiana, and Missouri, all of which are places he absolutely has to win.
People blame the Republicans much more than they do the Democrats for the economic mess. I find that to be a rather doubtful conclusion on their part, but still… it will work against McCain and will work to keep in check temporarily the racism of many so-called White ‘Independents’.
Time is running out to initiate a dirty trick October Surprise by the Bush-Cheney gang. They, it turns out, are actually the victims of the October Surprise this election. The 2008 October Surprise is the world wide Economic Depression just now getting under way. It seems that the economic fall just could not hold itself back until after the American elections. God just was not on the Republican side this time around. Satan was…
And now for some music for and from the losers here…
The Republican Song
Democrats and Liberals, shame on you,
don’t punish us all just to please a few,
Your holdin people back while we’re pickin up the slack,
and that’s why we can’t vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no…
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, nooo…
Yeah, your holding people back, while we’re pickin up the tax,
Oh no, no please don’t vote for a Democrat.
Now we’re trying to win a war and wipe out the terrorists,
We’re not fightin for oil we got plenty if we drill it.
But the liberals and the media are spreading their lies,
Get the hell out of our way and let our soldiers fight.
Please Don’t Vote for a Democrat! Pretty stupid song, ay? But funny as Hell! Kind of a ‘Folky going to Turkey’ sort of update on that ancient Merle Haggard hit.
