ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST-AGAIN

So Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina has been fooling around with a woman from Argentina. His wife isn't Argentinian, I'm pretty sure she's South Carolinian...Perhaps he was using public funds to get to Argentina...It looks like the "Family Values" Party is imploding on itself, more power to it, I'm sick of conservatives, both democrat and republican, this is just another affirmation of my correct decision to turn my back on the conservative movement completely.

Another shooting star for the Repubs in 2012 has shot himself in his (or rather with his) dick. Who do we have left? Sarah Palin? Bobby Jindal? Mitt freaking Romey? Please don't offer up the doofus Haley Barbour from Mississippi. Or maybe that would be a good idea...a sacrificial lamb.

Peace, y'all Obama '12, Health Care now...

WASILLA HILLBILLIES AT IT AGAIN; THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE SECOND FAMILY?

While downing a protein shake this morning and working on my abs, I came across the article below. I'm glad this made the news. It is nice to see that some news gathering organizations cannot be strong armed into burying stories about prominent politicians family members that violate the law and people's civil rights...learn from this, Jonesboro Sun.


Palin sister-in-law accused of breaking into home
By RACHEL D'ORO – 1 day ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Police say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's sister-in-law is accused of breaking into the same home twice to steal money.
Deputy Wasilla Police Chief Greg Wood says 35-year-old Diana Palin was arrested Thursday after she was confronted by the homeowner in the governor's hometown of Wasilla. She faces two counts of felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and theft.
Wood says tire tracks and shoe prints tied Palin to another break-in Tuesday in which $400 was taken. Police have not tied Palin to another burglary at the home last week.
Governor spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton says Palin is the half sister of the governor's husband and the family has no comment.
Diana Palin's husband says his wife has a court-appointed attorney.

Sarah Palin and her extended family could have been the Second Family of the United States, if the Right Wing would have prevailed in the past election. This again shows the complete lack of intelligence and integrity of the right, especially the Christian Right.
Tying an individual like Diana Palin to the Governor and linking the two would seem unfair to some as Diana Palin is 35 (and should know better) and responsible for her own behavior. Sarah Palin can't control what her husband's sister does.

I agree with part of that, Palin can't control what her sister in law does any more than she can control what her daughters do (apparently.)

But let me put this idea out there to chew on: After watching Sarah Palin in the campaign season, and seeing the lack of intellectual curiosity, learning her brand of Christianity (and recognizing it for what it is) and the bumbling way she, as well as her staff and family conducted themselves during the campaign, the lies from Palin, with the bible in her hand and scripture in her mouth (next to the bullshit) I believe, after thoughtful consideration, that this is how they conduct themselves as a family.

Allow me to elaborate: This is just how they do things. It is not abnormal behavior for any of them. This is just how they, and others like them, conduct themselves in their day to day walk of life. They lie, they cheat, they rob, they steal, they harm, and on Sunday they go to Church. They blame almost everyone else for their misfortunes and use religion to justify bad behavior, invoking God and vowing to pray for you while they are calling you a nigger, or trying to break into your home to kill you, or wishing harm on your child, good stuff like, "I hope your kid gets hit by a bus."

Heard that last little gem before, actually that was in an email from my son's Uncle, Mrs. Searcher's brother. (Actually, I have experienced all of the above.) Real classy relatives Mrs. Searcher has. Mrs. Searcher embodies class, intelligence, beauty and smarts. There is no way in hell she is the product of her mother and the person that gave her her maiden name. That is not meant to disrespect her mother, may she rest in peace. It does, however, reflect her good judgement. I will forever maintain that as truth.

Back to Plain and her Alaska (arkansas) family:

These aren't your run of the mill trailer park rednecks; these are rednecks with money and real power in the state in which they live.
This combination is especially dangerous because with money and influence real damage can be done to people's lives, often with little or no consequence. There are some common threads running through these types people and their families:

1. Parent or sibling is in an elected position, or one of influence in business.

2. Family has established ties, generational in the area.
-Family attends prominent church in town, one or more teaches Sunday school or is a deacon, etc. Highly likely that one or more are involved in extra-marital affairs.

3. History of legal issues, not necessarily prosecutions or charges, but a history of lawlessness, and an inherent belief of being above the law. I have noticed this especially with children of elected officials, especially ones that have been in office for an extended period of time. Oh, say 22 years or so...I also think that this is mostly learned by watching the parent/sibling fuck around and manipulate the law and people.

4. History of legal issues covered up, not reported, paid off, etc.

5. As a result of little or no consequence, lawlessness escalates until behavior is
so out of control it cannot be ignored any longer, unfortunately, this is often
after a violent crime such as assault that is severe enough to be reported, burglary, rape, murder, etc. I

It will be good for this epitome-of-dysfunction of a family that some of these "events" that they get involved in are published across the country. That it may help out future generations of Palins is my hope, but as for the over 18 branch of the Palin's, at least the majority of them, there is no hope.

Work to ensure Palin stays in Alaska, and continue to shine light on the right, especially the christians.

Onward!

GINGRICH'S RE-RISE, PALIN'S SLIDE

Palin won't be at the Senate-House dinner in July. The dinner is sponsored by the Republicans, and I've read it is the biggest GOP fundraiser of the year. It is a big deal. Gingrich will be speaking instead. Sounds petty, gossipy, and shallow. Delving deeper, however, certain things come to mind.



Remembering the 1990's and the "Republican Revolution" headed by Gingrich; his "Contract with America" and the gutting of social programs, again, the gutting of education, again, and the democrats in Arkansas, (Arkansas continues to be a reference point for me, as I spent very formative years there, and the politicians were making stupid remarks like, "these (black) women having 4 or 5 kids and sponging off of everyone is gonna stop!" As if cutting education, jobs, food for children is somehow going to force all poor and needy into the middle class, not to mention the obvious and accepted scapegoating of one gender of an entire race of people by politicians. How delightfully New Southish) jumping on the Republican bandwagon (huh?) further strengthening the foundation that had first been laid during the Reagan years for the financial, education, healthcare and social crises we are facing now.


The big boys on the right are sick of fucking around with Obama and his supporters, as well as Democrats in Congress and state Governors, both Democrat and moderate Republican. Furthermore, they are not going to allow Palin to head the party, because she so abysmal when she is called to task in public. Remember the interviews during the campaign. They know as well as most others that she is way out of her league.

But here is the real issue: Gingrich, Limbaugh,Hannity, John Boehner,Eric Cantor, etc. are becoming more virulent because they see their style of democracy, Krony Kapitalism, slipping away.


They will form a coalition that is going to shove weak individuals like Palin (it does not help her situation that she is a woman and not a part of the old 80's and '90 Republican nightmare that helped to bring us the current economic situation) out of the way, and they are going to run a vicious mid-term election campaign to unseat Democrats and pave a way to the White House in 2012. It will further display the hypocrisy of the "Party of Family Values." There will be a direct correlation between Obama's approval numbers and the Republican success.


I am not surprised Newt Gingrich is becoming a force again in Republican politics; however, if Americans allow him to be involved to any extreme, Americans will again have to take adose of penicillin to cure the infection. He made a statement in the 90's after he resigned from his position as Speaker of the House as well as his Representative seat, saying something to the effect of, "I didn't realize how out of touch I was with the people." He is still out of touch.


A bit of information regarding Newt Gingrich: He is involved with the American Enterprise Institute (AIE) as a senior fellow.

AIE is a conservative think tank that seeks "to defend the principles and improve the institutions of American freedom and democratic capitalism — limited government, private enterprise, individual liberty and responsibility, vigilant and effective defense and foreign policies, political accountability, and open debate".

Sounds great, and as American as apple pie. Execept the Republicans do not support political accountability and open debate, nor do they support individual liberty or democratic capitalism. Some of the people involved with the American Enterprise Institute:


Paul Wolfowitz-Major architect of the Iraq war, fired from the World Bank for fixing a promotion for his girlfriend, former Ambassador to Indonesia, supporting that regime that resulted in the deaths, political persecutions, and massive human rights abuses under Suharto, the Indonesian leader.

John Yoo-I blogged about Yoo recently,some of the finer points of the man-he disagrees with the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, which safeguards against unreasonable search and seizure, he believes in spying on U.S. citizens without warrants and at will, there is evidence of his involvement in war crimes, and he is to be indicted by a Spanish court for crimes against humanity.


Antonin Scalia-Right wing Supreme Court justice, enjoys keeping the media out of his speaking events, targets gays.


Dick Cheney, for Christ's sake. Do I really need a commentary on this individual?


These are the people that Newt Gingrich rubs shoulders with. With the exception of Yoo, rich white men that have open disdain for the poor and the middle class, and do not want to educate the aforementioned classes.


If Palin does succeed in obtaining high federal ofice, she will be run by these people and be little more than a figurehead but I cannot imagine, with the egos in play, they would allow her to be in the spotlight.


We must move the United States away from the right-wing christian party; the Republicans and moderate Democrats, and start thinking as a nation of people rather than individual profit machines.


Onward.

ON REAGAN, THE POOR, AND HIJACKING

I wanted to post a comment I made on a website the other day:

I'm supporting Barack as a result of observing the
Church in the United States for 18 years. The Christan Right have completely
abandoned the teachings of Jesus. It says something about a Christian Sect and
political party that is against health care for children and million of others.
That rejects the basic tenant of caring for the poor. The Right has become
extraordinarily arrogant, callous, divisive, and hateful. None of these traits
Jesus displayed or advocated. In McCain and Palin we have proven liars and
frauds. Palin is a complete fraud in the traditional definition, but quite
genuine in the psycho definition. Having voted Republican for 21 years it is
safe to say I will never vote Repub again. The right couldn't care less about my
family and me.Peace! Obama '08http://www.mikesearches.blogspot.com/

Also, this comment make a beautiful statement courtesy of "J" a blogger that posted a comment on thefieldnegro:

"...This will be the true legacy of Reaganism:
hijacking the Republican party from the Goldwater standard of conservatism and
turning it over to the Christian Right (there's an oxymoron if I've ever heard
one). Somehow they've got socially-conservatives thinking that this election is
about women's rights, and marriage. This has and always will be a matter of
class warfare. To paraphrase GWB because he said it best: his base is the "haves
and the have-mores." Every American should open up their checkbooks and savings
account ledgers and ask themselves if you think he was talking about
you."

Just five days left. I hope we can get the trickle down theory finally put to rest. It does not work.

THUGS, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE

Here is a video I came across on Current TV. The beginning is a little dry but if you can sit through about five minutes or so, that's when idiocy ensues.

What I am trying to figure out is why McCains numbers are as good as they are. Palin and McCain both have been exposed as liars and frauds, yet people are actually voting for him, and you have people who still claim to be "undecided."

Could it be that as Bill Maher has said, the American people are really this stupid?

We need systemic change in the United States.

SARAH PALIN GOIN' ROGUE-COURTESY OF THE DAILY KOS

This is a story I have been following the past day or so. With Palin being a right-wing charismatic dominionist nutjob, you, dear reader need always to keep in mind that John McCain, and his not so religious ass, supporting some Democrat policies, one that is loath to call Obama a terrorist, or Arab,(he's more than happy to let the bulldog do it for him), is considered an unbeliever and in the ranks of Satan to someone like Sarah Palin. It only makes sense that she would make a power play for his job. She believes he is the means to her fullfilment.

It is taught ubiquitously in the Evangelical Charismatic churches:

Moses was an Israelite (Jew) that was raised in the Devil's(Pharaoh's) house. God used the Devil to educate His kid and bring him to victory over His (his) enemies.
Just such a doctrine can be applied to modern day situations. Time and again I have sat in Pentecostal services and heard the comparison to the United States government and the Devil.

To think that Sarah Palin might not have any respect for John McCain, and believe that he is an agent of Satan is not to be dismissed. It is a tenet of her core religious beliefs, as with many other adherents to her religious philosophy:

If you're not for us you're against us.

Sound Familiar G.W. Bush?

Two peas in a pod.

Fuck McCain, and fuck Sarah Palin.

It is time for a systemic change in the United States.

I decided to post the entire article for your enjoyment. Listen, get involved. Let us marginalize the Christian Right, put them where they belong. Packing away dusty,useless Science equipment on the way to Chapel at Crowley's Ridge College.

CNN: Palin, McCain Split Goes Public
by SusanG

Sat Oct 25, 2008 at 02:15:04 PM PDT

This
is what implosion looks like:

(CNN) -- With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP
vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain
have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say.
Several
McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly
frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue."...

A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more
than the McCain campaign.

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain
adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her
family or anyone else.

"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next
leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see
themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

A furious, old, self-important reformist poseur stuck in the previous
century versus a young, ambitious, fundamentalist airhead "rogue" "diva" ... who
would have guessed a year-and-a-half ago that the wrestling match for the soul
of a dying and discredited political party would come down to this?
If both of them hadn't proven themselves to be such eager liars, it would
almost be worth pitying them. Almost. But not quite.

Peace- Love Y'all

CHRISTIAN RIGHT CONTINUES TO SHOW ITS ASS & INTOLERANCE

Some excerpts from the HuffPo regarding the Christian Right and fearmongering tactics used by them to drive their willfully ignorant base (I could have posted the entire article and probably should):

Terrorist strikes on four American cities. Russia rolling into Eastern
Europe. Israel hit by a nuclear bomb. Gay marriage in every state. The end of
the Boy Scouts.
All are plausible scenarios if Democrat Barack Obama is
elected president, according to a new addition to the campaign conversation
called "Letter from 2012 in Obama's America," produced by the conservative
Christian group Focus on the Family Action.

Steve Strang, publisher of Charisma magazine, a Pentecostal publication,
titled one of his recent weekly e-mails to readers, "Life As We Know It Will End
If Obama is Elected."
Strang said gay rights and abortion rights would be
strengthened in an Obama administration, taxes would rise and "people who hate
Christianity will be emboldened to attack our freedoms."

Steve Strang is quite influential, and I have in the past received Charisma magazine. This bullshit gets better:

...among the strongest pieces this year is Focus on the Family Action's
letter which has been posted on the group's Web site and making the e-mail
rounds. Signed by "A Christian from 2012," it claims a series of events could
logically happen based on the group's interpretation of Obama's record,
Democratic Party positions, recent court rulings and other trends.
Among the
claims:

_ A 6-3 liberal majority Supreme Court that results in rulings like one
making gay marriage the law of the land and another forcing the Boy Scouts to
"hire homosexual scoutmasters and allow them to sleep in tents with young boys."
(In the imagined scenario, The Boy Scouts choose to disband rather than
obey).

_ A series of domestic and international disasters based on Obama's
"reluctance to send troops overseas." That includes terrorist attacks on U.S.
soil that kill hundreds, Russia occupying the Baltic states and Eastern European
countries including Poland and the Czech Republic, and al-Qaida overwhelming
Iraq.
_ Nationalized health care with long lines for surgery and no access to
hospitals for people over 80.

The reality is this:

Obama favors abortion rights and supports civil unions for same-sex couples, but
says states should make their own decisions about marriage. He said he would
intensify diplomatic pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions and add troops
in Afghanistan.
On taxes, Obama has proposed an increase on the 5 percent of
taxpayers who make more than $250,000 a year and advocates cuts for those who
make less. His health care plan calls for the government to subsidize coverage
for millions of Americans who otherwise couldn't afford it.

Obama will make a great pres, the Christian Right will be marginalized.

Jesus never taught fear, hate, and intolerance, yet these three traits as well as complete willful ignorance coupled with a health dose of a lack of intellectual curiosity identify the Christian Right extraordinarily. He must be so proud of the American Church.

We need systemic change in the United States. OfuckingBama '08

MUST SEE TV! JESUS LOVES BIGOTS, HATES BLACKS

Caught this on HuffPo, the mixture of religion and bigotry is very dangerous indeed...this flows together with my other posts on the Christian Right...




I am adding some quotes from the video courtesy of crooksandliars:



It was kind of strange, dintcha think, that John McCain came to the defense of his supporters last night after Barack Obama pointed out that people at McCain/Palin rallies were shouting out "terrorist" and "kill him!" in reference to Obama.




Now an Al Jazeera camera crew caught the honest sentiments of McCain/Palin supporters at an Ohio rally:


“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”




“When you got a Negra running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”


“He seems like a sheep - or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin - she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”




“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”


“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”




“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”


“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda - a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”




“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”


“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”




Yep, McCain must be so proud.


The rest of us, well ... let's just say those polls should tell the story.


[H/t to Ta-Nehisi Coates, via Spencer Ackerman. Transcript via Prose Before Hos.]





This is from the heartland of America, Ohio.

We need to marginalize, at the very least, the Christian Right, we need systemic change in the US and we for damn sure do not need McCain or Sarah fucking Palin in office. If they do get in, we are in for real trouble.

GOTTA LOVE THOSE REPUBLICANS

While combing through various blogs today, and thinking about trickle-down economics and the utter failure of it, I came across this quote that I believe came from the daily kos:

"All economic theories revolve around the redistribution of
wealth. Supply side economics, (Reaganomics, Bushonomics, McCainonomics),
believe in redistributing it upwards in the hope it will trickle down. To
paraphrase Warren Buffet-Class warfare already exists, and the wealthy side is
winning."

Trickle down economics does not work. I find it very telling that the United States, with it's total embrace of unregulated capitalism, when faced with the complete failure of its financial system and the potential turning out into the streets millions of the poor and middle class, jumps in and pumps billions of dollars into the economy to keep it from crashing: something that the US, in collusion with the World Bank and IMF, did not allow other nations to do when it became necessary to rescue their populace when they obtained loans with these organizations with odius strings attached.

And these nations saw the complete collapse of their economies.

Check out the history of Chile, Argentina, and others.

Here is something else I found today:

Special to The Press-Enterprise
An Inland Republican women’s
group sent
out a newsletter showing this fake $10 “food stamp” with Barack
Obama’s face
on
it.
She said she doesn't think in racist terms,
pointing out she once
supported Republican Alan Keyes, an African-American
who previously ran for
president.

So supporting Alan Keyes doesn't make you racist?

I cannot believe in this day and age that someone in the United States, especially a white woman presumably well off financially, doesn't know the racial over tones that are implied when fried chicken, kool aid, ribs and fucking food stamps are associated with people in the US of African descent.

What a fucking joke.

The appalling stupidity of the Republican party continues to astound me...

It is time for a systemic change in the United States.

CRAZY CHRISTIANITY AND FASCISM (CHRISTOFASCISM) IN THE UNITED STATES

It's not just for breakfast anymore-

I have written quite a bit regarding Christianity in the US, and it would seem that I am especially concerned about Right Wing ChristoFascism. As well I should be. So should you.

I came across this video, one that features a speaker ministering in Alaska about Spiritual Warfare.

Let me emphasize this: I have sat in nearly identical sermons as the one recorded here. The Evangelical Charismatic church in the United States completely believes the material put forth in the sermon, and they are deadly serious about seeing it come to pass. These are people that believe not one more generation will pass after the re-creation of Israel before Jesus comes back. They believe that, and they will do what they believe in their hearts to be true, and right, to facilitate His return.

These people believe they are hearing from God. I do not deny that perhaps He speaks to people today. However, an increasing majority of movements in the US and North America are built upon "Words of Knowledge" visions" "dreams" and other things that cannot be proven by scripture, science, logic or fact.

I want you to pay attention to the time in the video from 3:14-3:51. In case you don't sit through it, or perhaps in order to pique your curiosity here is a sample from what the speaker, Mary Glazer, said:

"God is preparing a people to displace the ones whose sin is rising so that
then they tip over and the church goes in-one is removed and the church goes in
and takes the territory."

The "Church" is the evangelical charismatic Christians, the Klan, etc. The "territory" is YOUR stuff, YOUR property, YOUR home, YOUR state, YOUR nation. There is hope, though, as Mary Glazer goes on:

"Now that does not mean that the people are removed, because God removes
them from the Kingdom of Darkness to the Kingdom of Light.
They are
given an opportunity to change allegiances."

(Italics mine.)

Now, what do you suppose will happen if one decides not to change allegiances? This is Dominion Theology, it is dangerous and completely without Scriptural basis.

Please remember, when people believe they are hearing from God, there is generally nothing that will stop them, or convince them otherwise; even when confronted by proof in the Bible. In fact, I know from experience that people will search the Bible until they begin to cull various passages that back up their doctrine. Here is the video:


Did you know that Alaska is a "Northern Gateway?"

What a load of horseshit. I heard the same bullshit about Arkansas, about Missouri, Kansas, you get the picture. Everywhere you go in the US, "God" is telling people that your state is special, it has been selected for some sort of special something, and the rest of the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and the "Church", (that is the evancgelical church of the US, and to a lesser degree, North America) is ready to inherit the world.

The US church is hardly meek, which I believe is a requirement one must have if one is going to inherit the world. See Book of Matthew, 5:5.

I'm telling you, these people are crazy, culty, and completely deceived. And Sarah Palin is one of them. But she is just one of millions.

We are in for some serious shit if McPalin get in.

Something to think about also, if Obama gets elected, there are going to be millions of backward thinkin' bible totin' gun ownin' people out there that are going to be really pissed off.

I'll keep my firearms close and add a bar on the door, thank you.

Christian Fascism in the United States must be stamped out.

SUMMARY OF THE RIGHT WING

Culled from the Chicago Tribune:

Garrison
Keillor:
Some Republicans adore her because they are pranksters at heart
and love the consternation of grown-ups. The ne'er-do-well son of the old
Republican family as president, the idea that you increase government revenue by
cutting taxes, the idea that you cut social services and thereby drive the needy
into the middle class, the idea that you overthrow a dictator with a show of
force and achieve democracy at no cost to yourself—one stink bomb after another,
and now Gov. Sarah Palin

Bold is mine. Politicians have been cramming that particular tidbit of bullshit down our throats since Reagan came into office, and has been espoused by members of both parties accross the nation, including that worthless pile of crap pat flanagin of arkansas.

I've written about it several times, this notion that if you take away all services, people will take that extra job or two or three, and "pull themselves up by their bootstraps." When the reality of the situation is this: That type of economic policy creates a servant/master society, where the haves have and the have nots cut their grass, cook their food wash their clothes, wash their cars. You see, when you take away the ability of people climb out of poverty through education, and you destroy the support structure to succeed(and cutting education and social programs is a priority of the right wing nutjobs, as well as the corporate oligarchy), you create a society that breeds two classes: poor and rich.

The pick of Palin has to be the most disrespectful action by a political party in my lifetime.
The current nonsense spouted by the right wing campaign regarding Bill Ayers is also being whipped up into a frenzy by the Jesus loving Evangelical sarah palin. These people are crazy, and they well use their bibles as clubs if McPalin get in. Things will be bad.

The economic policies that have been in place since Reagan has done incredible harm to the United States. We are facing a situation like I haven't seen in my lifetime, the only thing I can equate it to is the gas crisis and inflation issues of the 1970's.

We have got to get the right wing out of power; a Theocracy is not what we need.

It's time for a systemic change in the United States.

NEWSFLASH! REDNECKS ACT LIKE MORONS!

Watching MSNBC right now, and Tucker Carlson is on, being shrill, squeaking about the Alaska State Trooper Wooten and the firing of Walt Monegan, the Alaskan Commissioner of Public Safety. It went kinda like this:

( at some point i'll figure out how to insert video)

Carlson: My God! This is a guy who threatened to murder his father in law! This is a guy who drank in his State Trooper car! Do we really need a guy like this carrying a gun with a license to shoot people?

Answer? Read on, Searcher:

Clearly Tucker Carlson has never been involved in a redneck divorce. When redneck families are going through tough times like divorce (or marriage) they resort to crazy shit like:

-Shanking your "till death do us part" partner's car tires.

-Getting into a fistfight with your father-in-law in the front yard of your house on a sunny afternoon while the neighbors watch.

-Knocking down aforementioned father-in-law in the front yard of your house on a sunny afternoon while the neighbors watch.

-Q. Your current wife has a warrant out. Yet you are separated. What do you do when she shows up angry and drunk at your new (bachelor) apartment?
-A. Call the police and have her hauled off while the kids watch.

-The father in law showing up at the son-in-laws restaurant (where he is G.M.) and attempting to invade and stomp the aforementioned son in law.

-Son in law has sex with Mother in Law. (Not me)

-Wife has sex with step brother.

-Apartment manager has to call the police and son-in-law while he is at work because father-in-law is at son-in-laws apartment with a UHaul truck and is currently trying to jimmy the door lock with a credit card.

-Brother in law breaks into his married sisters' home with a friend and attempts to murder his sisters' husband.

Growing up in redneck Northeast Arkansas, some of this is funny. All of it either happened to me or a brother in law, sister in law, or friend. All of it is true.

The last sentence is not funny. It really happened. To me and my lovely wife.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tucker Carlson is a jackass that has his head in the sand.

Clearly he lives somewhere else than a large amount of Americans.

To disrespect Trooper Wooten (and I am no friend of the police, but shout out to you Paul) because of the crazy redneck people that made up his family is ridiculous. His profession as a police officer only gave leverage to Palin and assorted redneck relatives (including Sarah Palin's faultless daddy) and friends (as well as the opportunists, the envious and the jealous) to screw with him.

Believe me.

If this guy ran a restaurant, they would be screaming B.S. about him sleeping with the waitresses. Or stealing money. Or steaks. Or booze. The father-in-law would have been on the phone with the S-I-L's boss relating all kinds of bullshit. Anything the redneck kinfolk overlooked before would become fair game. That is how redneck small town families (dys)function. That is the truth of the situation.

Tucker Carlson is a hack, and it shows how out of touch he is with small town America.

It is time for a Systemic Change in the United States.

Peace-
Mike

UPDATE: I want to rid the world of my current as well as ex-father-in-law, too.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN ABOVE THE LAW

So Todd Palin, husband of Sarah Palin Veep candidate is refusing to testify after the legislative body of the State of Alaska subpoened him (read here)The obvious rhetorical question is: "What would happen to me if I did that?" Of course, we all know the answer. I would be hauled off to jail, without ceremony.

I emailed a letter to the Alaska Attorney Gerneral, Talis Colberg, and I suggest you all do the same here is the address: attorney.general@alaska.gov.

I left my last name off of my blog but included it in the email along with my address, etc. I guess I'm just begging for a visit from the New American Gestapo! AKA (insert your police department here. Oops, my bad-I guess they're called "law enforcement officers" now. What a fucking joke.)

Here's the email to A.G. Colberg, Alaska:

You are a partisan hack, a coward, and you should be disbarred. I will use you in my closing years in law school to solidify my studies, focus on my goal: To put cowardly pieces of trash like you, todd palin, and sarah palin, scooter libby, karl rove, in jail for breaking the law, and acting as though you are royalty while the rest of us are expected to not only obey this law of the United States, but are called upon to shed our blood so garbage like you can disrespect the memories of the dead and trample on the very things that are supposed to make this country great. Sleep well AG, your turn will be coming. People like you is the reason I have abandoned the Republican Party after 21 years of party line voting.
SARAH PALIN=BAD FOR AMERICA

Mike, Vancouver, WA

I suppose I should have included George Bush in my list as well as Prick Cheney. War crimes? The Hague? Naw, just do it here and lock them away forever. Or bestow upon these two the same fate their lies and deception brought thousands and thousands of Iraqi people and American Soldiers: put their backs against a wall, and then give them a great state funeral. At least we'll be rid of them.

Peace and Love to all you Searchers!
Don't give up hope, revolution is coming. And if McCain/Palin get in, it will be closer than ever.

SMALL TOWNS/SMALL MINDS

I was reading a post in a blog called Field Negro (field-negro.blogspot.com. I still don't know how to insert links in words yet...) today and the post relates an article written by Catherine McNicol Stock, an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer I thought was interesting.

http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/20080914_Intolerance_thrives_in_Palin_s_Pacific_Northwest.html

"Despite her efforts to portray herself as an average, small-town, "folksy" American, Sarah Palin's political views - ardently pro-gun, pro-censorship, antichoice and antigay - make John McCain's conservative credentials pale in comparison. What few observers have said, however, is these beliefs are not just extreme - they are radical, and even bear a comparison with some of the most notorious "rural radicals" of our time.


It has been years since groups such as the Montana Militia, the Posse Comitatus and the Sagebrush Rebels, and individuals such as Terry Nichols and Ted Kaczynski have made us wonder why so many "angry white men" populated our rural regions. Many of us have forgotten the threat once posed by domestic terrorists and instead have turned our attention to foreign terrorists. But we should never forget that in the late 20th century, ultra-Christian, antistatist and white-supremacist groups flourished in the states of the Pacific Northwest - called by many the "Great White Northwest" - the very region that Sarah Palin and her family call home.

Demographics most basically define this geographic region. In the six states that make up the Pacific Northwest - Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska - only six counties are more than 5 percent African American. Not by coincidence, each of these counties is also near an important military installation with many African American men and women. Even so, barely more than 3,000 blacks lived in all of Idaho in 2000.

Although home to tens of thousands of native peoples, Alaska is not much different in terms of diversity from the other states of the region. African Americans live in areas near important military installations in Anchorage and Fairbanks and almost nowhere else. Wasilla, where Sarah Palin was mayor, makes the census' list of the top 10 Alaskan communities with the largest number of African Americans because they make up a full 1 percent of the population. Rough calculations suggest that 65 blacks lived in the town.

But the region also must be defined by its history of intolerance, resentment, antistatism and violence. Appearing in the region in the 1980s and 1990s were some of the most notorious "hate radicals" of our time: militia groups, survivalists, Identity Christians, secessionists, white supremacists and others.
Some simply hated the federal government, like Randy Weaver of Ruby Ridge, Idaho, a survivalist whose wife and child died when their compound was fired upon by FBI agents attempting to arrest him on gun charges. "Whether we live or whether we die," Weaver said, "we will not obey this lawless government."

Other groups, like the Aryan Nation, with headquarters in Hayden Lake, Idaho, actively planned to rid the United States of African Americans, Jews, and other "non-Aryan" peoples. A few carried out their plans, murdering Jewish radio host Alan Berg in Denver, the Goldmark family in Seattle, an African American state trooper in Arkansas, Fish and Wildlife officials and FBI agents in Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana, and more than 160 federal employees and their children in Oklahoma City.

There is no evidence that Palin was ever affiliated with white-supremacist groups during her years in Idaho or at home in Alaska. On the other hand, the beliefs of ultraconservative, evangelical churches like her family's come dangerously close to those of the Christian Identity movement of those years. Likewise, Palin's husband was a member of a political party whose members favored secession for Alaska, suggesting an affiliation with radical antistatism.

Perhaps somewhere on the record, Palin has publicly condemned the radical politics of her region. But it is hard to know where she stands on issues of race, equality and diversity. Thus it is high time to review the cultural ideals and models of the radical rurals from the Great White Northwest and find out for sure where Gov. Palin stands."

I've lived in the Northwest for just a short period of time, but it is remarkably similar to the south in its perceptions of race. I've seen the same symbols of hate and segregation here as I did there. I've seen the same disdain for the poor as well as Blacks and Latinos. I've seen the same government policies that force the poor, generally minorities, to relocate because of gentrification-which is nothing more than mini episodes of forced relocation keeping a sort of perpetual diaspora. I sometimes feel like I never left the South.
I've seen the same institutional racism in Portland Oregon as I did in Paragould Arkansas.
Sarah Palin is so similar to the people that I attended church with, worked with went to school with.

I will agree with the writer, and add there is a long way to go for equality in the United States. This hate and stupidity surely is not confined to any region. Again, we have a long way to go.

I had actually intended to write about the quote "this lawless government" but felt I should elaborate the way you read above.

Allow me to be frank. I abhor the white supremacist movement in all its forms.

But the statement "this lawless government" must be studied. (See the Noam Chomsky, Dee Brown and Jon Lee Anderson titles under "what i'm reading"). Learning what I have learned regarding the truth of the U.S. government, and not subscribing to the "America love it leave it" crowd any longer, has shown me the glaring discrepancies the United States has in its words and its deeds...and the glaring discrepancies between the elite of the country and everyone else.

I call for unity among peoples... Peace and much love...
