CLASS WARFARE, SLAVES TO THE WEALTHY, BY GEORGE CARLIN

Well, everyone has now seen how badly this "Bush Tax Cuts" debate has gone so far...there was no debate. The Republicans said ...massage my shoulder will ya? The Democrats are now the masseur, massaging the Elephant's shoulder, putting lotion on his feet...and kissing where the sun don't shine... cleaning up their shit, adding at least 700 Billion dollars more to the deficit... This shit certainly leaves a bad taste in our mouths. That is some shit...


My head is spinning, I am gravely hurt by the President's speech on Monday December 6th, where he seems to have bowed down to his aggressor who wants the poor in this country to become slaves to the wealthy, to have no dignity and pride in themselves or their families...their Parents...Their Spouses...Their children. I feel like I am in the days of slavery all over again...I feel the pain and anguish they...the Slaves must have felt...stripped of every shred of self worth, pride and indeed Human dignity and decency, as if "We the people" are not worth it, and no one gives a damn.


Certainly I wonder sometimes if our Leaders don't give a damn, because it appears they are not willing to fight for us. We did not elect leaders to go there and surrender for us, If we wanted to surrender, or be defeated,  we would have sent someone who we knew was an idiot or a coward...we didn't. We sent educated people, who we think are capable of getting the job done, who are willing to fight, because when the fighting is done, we would be assured that what we get would have been the best we could get...But right now, the Democrats are not fighting, they are just massaging the Elephant's shoulders, following their orders, and being a Disappointment to the American People...the 85% of us who did not vote in November, for the Republicans.


Maybe I am wrong, or misinformed...maybe there was a fight that took place and "We the People" just did not see it, did not know it, because it was behind closed doors, against very powerful entities, Foreign and Domestic. I have often said the President is privy to more information than I am...so maybe he knows what he is doing more than I know what he is doing. Maybe he saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am just slogging through the darkness looking for a helping hand out of poverty. 


 I am anything but speechless, but there is a traffic jam...a bottleneck in my throat, because there are too many words trying to come out at the same time...it's choking me...so I will let the Late and always Great Mr. George Carlin do my talking for me...because I am really hurting by the Democrat's surrender without a fight...Some say The President paid the RANSOM...I agree with that, I understand the hard road...but it still sticks in my craw...


Stephen Colbert says he can't wait for the Taxes to stay the same so he can create all those jobs...Stephen got it right...no one in the Wealthy Country Clubs will be creating jobs...maybe we can give away Social Security while we are at it...I just had to add Stephen's video as well. Let me clarify, I Blame the Republicans for Blackmailing us, I do not blame the President for making the best deal he thinks we can try to get, rather than getting nothing at all... 


I think upon further reflection, I will support the President...my President...because he can do for me what I cannot do for myself...secure a better future for my children. The old people have a saying...Stoop to Conquer... so I will Stoop with my President...so we will get stronger and rise higher later.

American 60% Non-Voters Just Don't Give A Rats Ass?...Apparently So...

                                                                                                                                                         The NEW numbers are in, and according to the United States Election Project, There was an average of 218 Million eligible voters, out of whom an average of 40 % voted... which amounts to around 88 Million voters. This average number, if taken to mean a 50/50 split for each party, suggests that a mere average of about 44 Million voters, in effect made this election a victory for the Republican Party...a mere 20% of all eligible voters... a mere 20% steered the Country down this rabbit hole.

For those who are interested, the US Population is 308 Million people, which means that this 20% of eligible voters who were allowed to elect a Republican majority in the House is actually 14.2% of the US population....14.2%....a minuscule 14.2% of the US Population elected the House Majority...

I HAVE TO SAY...14.2% IS NOT A SHELLACKING BY ANY MEANS!! Because it means more than 85% DID NOT VOTE FOR THEM!!

The numbers further suggest that we have to "Thank" for this Republican victory...the remaining 60% of non-voters...the 130 million who did not vote. Of course "Thank" is not exactly the word this author wishes to use, but for want of a better word... we will go with "Thank." Apparently most of these non-voters thought it was not worth their time to be Patriotic and do their duty...and vote, to keep this ship upright, so they let 20% win part of the Elections and Control of the House. That is indeed a shame and I might add...they need to keep quiet when they feel the strain of unemployment and hopelessness that we know will soon come, at the hands of the Republicans... because they caused this by not voting.

We now have a very rocky road to traverse in the coming future with the Republican hands itching to grab the reins of power. We all know of the purely crazy intentions the Republicans have, of trying to repeal Health Care so that our Seniors and our kids will be rendered helpless and uninsured, due to preexisting conditions or being over 21yrs old in the case of the kids. We also know of their intentions to Sabotage and bring the efforts of the Recovery to a halt so that the President will be seen to fail in his attempt to bring the Country back from the brink of disaster... causing them to win the 2012 elections.

The sad thing is that the same 20% of voters who voted for the Republicans are going to have their Seniors and kids affected as well by the Whacky Republican ideas. They did in fact vote against themselves and their Families' interests, being none the wiser to this.

This is all part of a further attempt by Republicans to appease their Corporate masters who call the tune for the Republicans to follow. The Republicans' twisted plans can be thought of in terms of a broken down Taxi Cab in need of repairs. The mechanic wants $100 to repair the car, but in an attempt save money, the Republican owner tells the mechanic that he will not pay for repairs but will instead pay $20 storage fees per month to keep the car in the garage. The owner in the meantime loses $1000 per month, by the Taxi not being able to work and bring in an income, plus he has to find other means of transport which costs him money as well. In five months, of course, he also loses the $100 he is trying to save, with his short-sighted ideas. For further explanation...the Country is the Taxi Cab.

20% of voters for Republicans means 80% DID NOT vote for them...85% of the population...85% of The American People DID NOT vote for them...REMEMBER THAT WHEN THEY TRY TO DISTRACT YOU WITH THEIR LIES...AND THEIR SPIN OF THE TRUTH !!!

THEIR "AMERICAN PEOPLE" IS 14.2%...OUR "AMERICAN PEOPLE" IS 85% !!!

At the end of the day though, I remind you we are still one people, one country, 100% of 308 million...one America... so please be civil to each other.

One piece of advice...when anyone presents their theories and ideas...just ask them to explain HOW that plan would work...throwing around talking points is fine, if you can't back it up with facts...so remember to ask WHY...let them explain their theories. Most do not have a clue about the ideas and talking points they offer.
