Grover Norquist...Saboteur, Anti-American, Traitor.

Yes, he is guilty in the forum of public opinion, as a saboteur to the economy, a traitor and Anti-American. He knew what he was doing when he made the pledge and those who signed it knew what they were doing when they put their name on that pledge. They swore an oath to sabotage the country by never allowing taxes to be raised even if it meant the country could die as a result. They knew all too well that every country's Government operates with the finances and revenue collected, they knew that the revenue is used to pay for the Police, Fire, Medical, Educational and many other services needed to run a great country like ours.

Actions speak louder than words and the results of those actions are what we have to focus on, to know what was the reason for the said actions, of having and signing that retched pledge. Those who signed Grover's pledge are all bought and paid for, they are corrupt and their actions prove that. They knew the results of the pledge would cause among other things, the weakening and failing of the economy to a certain extent, so why did they do it?

That reason is the simplest of all, they are rich and so high up on the economic ladder, that the results of their actions of strangling the economy would not reach or affect them in a negative way. They have enough money and wealth to weather the downturn in the economy which they purposely caused, in their foul attempt to weaken the middle class...as they have done time and time again, knowing that a country as large as ours cannot survive without a healthy middle class.

Many have said that there is a class warfare being fought over the past 70 years; a war that has already been won in most cases...by the rich and the Corporations. The middle class has been defeated many times over and are just not ready to step into the coffin just yet. The relentless attacks against the middle class just keeps getting stronger and stronger as a result.

Anyone who supported and still supports that pledge now is mistaken, if they think the American people will take this assault sitting down. The Occupy movement is proof that the Country will rise up and defeat this injustice that festers like a sore on the backside of our Great Nation. These greedy and selfish saboteurs will not strangle this economy with their Treasonous plans and pledges. We must not be defeated, we must stand up to their veiled Fascism by voting against everyone of them...whose name is on that pledge.

Newt Gingrich's Nasty Record.

Does it surprise anyone that Newt Gingrich is now the front runner for becoming the Republican Nominee? Well...not really, it does not surprise most people. This startling rise in the polls says a lot about the Republican Party and the base who apparently is ready to overlook all that Newt has done in the past and are willing to push him all the way to the top of the candidates' list. He is being referred to now as the new flavor of the week  for the party, but I would hasten to remind everyone of the real Newt and what his record is.


First he was outed today by Bloomberg.com as being the Lobbyist who was paid up to 1.8 million dollars to "smooth the way" with the loudest Republicans who wanted to disband Freddie Mac. Apparently Newt had enough sway with those Republicans  who were threatening, to be worth the 1.8 million dollar price tag. Seeing that Freddie Mac is still around, suggests that Newt earned his money in fine style and was able to bribe fellow Republicans with his words of wisdom...or whatever else they required. Newt insists he only got $300,000 to be a historian to Freddie Mac...a fat lie that former Freddie Mac officials say is preposterous.


Our good friend Barney Frank has no problem calling Newt the "LL" guy, to MSNBC's Martin Bashir. Barney says Newt is a Lobbyist and a Liar. Barney reminded us that Newt had been reprimanded for lying and  added..."He was clearly there as a lobbyist and slipped and acknowledged that you don’t enhance your academic credentials by serving as Speaker, you enhance your value as a lobbyist"  


Alternet.org reminded us all the way back in April of 2000 that Newt will stoop to any depth to get his message across. Norman Solomon of Alternet.org writes... "Here's what Gingrich said three days before last November's election -- in response to an Associated Press reporter who asked him how the campaign was going: "Slightly more moving our way. I think that the mother killing the two children in South Carolina vividly reminds every American how sick the society is getting and how much we need to change things." Gingrich concluded, "The only way you get change is to vote Republican."


Newt has had a disastrous stint as Speaker of the house as shown here by Steve Kornacki of Salon.com..."his eagerness to force a government shutdown over a GOP plan to slash Medicare spending gave President Clinton and Democrats a winning issue in 1996, when nearly 20 Republican incumbents lost their seats and the GOP barely held the House. Shortly after that, Gingrich held off an attempted coup from a band of frustrated but incompetent House Republicans. Then he made things worse for his party by leading an impeachment drive against Clinton in 1998 (even, as we later learned, while engaging in an extramarital affair himself), which backfired and led to shocking Democratic gains in that year’s midterms."


The final nail in the coffin comes from none other than Jack Abramoff who accuses Newt of Corruption...no one can say he doesn't know about being Corrupt or knowing who is corrupt, as he was himself prosecuted for "influence peddling"  Abramoff was on an interview with David Gregory of "Meet the Press"  Maggie Haberman of Politico reported on the interview, this is part of her story..."When Gregory pressed on the "corruption" language and noted it's "a heavy charge," Abramoff stayed with it, saying, "Yes it is. It is corruption. At the end of the day, I say in the book, I believe now, although I didn't believe then unfortunatley, that any provision of favor or any provision of anything to members of Congress and their staff is bribery. And any cashing in on it by them coming out later is corruption."


So my friends, please be aware of "The Newtster" , to Republicans I say...vote OBAMA 2012!!

Ped(ophile) State, Not Penn State...anymore.

It is sad, but true. The men who were involved in one of the most horrible crimes against children, have also destroyed the very good name of the once proud Penn State. This is a crime that can never be erased. In their narrow minded attempt to cover up the sordid actions of a crazed child rapist, the University officials responsible for leaving this madman free to do his evil deeds have permanently thrown a veil of shame over the very spectacular institution that is ...was, Penn State. It will never be the same.

What made this shameful event all the more horrid is the fact that it could have been avoided. It ruined the lives of many innocent boys, at least eight boys, boys who are now young men, fractured and frightened young men, confused and surely angry young men. Their future is not at all clear and now that their lives and this scandal is about to be blown wide open, things will never be the same. They do not deserve this.

The shameful thing is that the University officials loved their cushy jobs and the fame and fortune that came with being at the top of a prestigious University. They became greedy and selfish...and they were determined to keep any and all threats to their lifestyle hidden, even if it was a criminal, committing crimes that were so horrible that even they would be ashamed of their actions... and they were even prepared to remove whatever they could not keep hidden, which begs the question, what happened to the DA that went missing years ago?

"Why didn't someone stop alleged pedophile Jerry Sandusky years ago?

One possible answer died with Ray Gricar, though even that phrase -- died with Ray Gricar -- makes an assumption. Is Ray Gricar dead? Officially he is, yes. He was declared dead in July of this year, but his body wasn't found, not in April 2005 when the Centre County (Pa.) district attorney disappeared after driving away from his home near State College. And not now. Not ever.

Ray Gricar, the man who declined to prosecute Sandusky in 1998 -- after setting up a sting that resulted in Sandusky making something close to a confession -- hasn't been seen since vanishing in 2005. Dead or alive. He's just ... gone." ...writes Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports.

This scandal has dragged down many men, some or maybe all, deserving of the loss of all that they have spent their lives building.  They have betrayed the students who looked up to them, who put their trust and indeed their admiration in these men, men who were role models to some...and gods to others. The man among those men, who has possibly lost the most is Joe Paterno, the famed Coach who brought Penn to the top of the list; a list, the prestige of which men would fight for...die for...and cover up the tracks of a rapist for.

What is equally disturbing is the fact that the students have totally missed the real victims of this whole affair...the children. There have been massive riots and protests, all for Coach Paterno...none for the victims of rape, the victims who were said to have been pimped out to high riding donors. Sadly someone must tell these misguided students, that they should stop the protests for their disgraced and disgraceful Coach and his cohorts and must instead gather their honor and mourn the loss of the innocence...of the child victims; of the children.

The Republican Party Of Death!!

Yes, though they walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, they shall fear no Evil...but evil will do well to fear them!! The party on 'No', is the party of 'life at conception' and is really the party of Death. It is my opinion that the Republicans can not be judged by their words but must be judged by their actions. This is the party where good ideas and intentions go to die.


It is simple to tell who they are by their policies and what they fight for. Jobs are the first to die at the hands of these 'No Taxes' Grover Norquist zombies... people who put party before Country. To them, it doesn't matter what you lose in the process by starving the economy of the Tax revenues it needs, as long as the fictitious 'Job Creators' are allowed to keep their taxes while reducing the safety conditions and benefits of their workers, as it costs more money to do otherwise.


Next to die at the hands of the party of Death is the elderly, who are made to deal with dwindling health care and more or higher costs for all their care needs. The party fights hard to repeal the Obama healthcare plan because it will help more people to get better healthcare and it helps provide health insurance for kids up to the age of 26yrs old, through their parents' health plan. That is something that goes against their agenda of Privatizing more and more of the profits that can be realized by raising private health insurance costs.


The Death party is famous for loving wars and the death and carnage it brings. They have built the Military industrial complex, something we had been warned against doing by none other than Dwight D. Eisenhower, here is the transcript of the speech. http://www.h-net.org/~hst306/documents/indust.html


The party of Death was outed by Representative Alan Grayson who explained why under the Republican health plan, if you got sick, you should Die Quickly! Here is that video. They are now launching an all out assault on women and their right to choose an abortion or not. They are now trying to change the laws to read that life at conception will be the new law and that could mean all sorts of bad things for women and their health. Here is their plan, the Life at Conception act. http://www.prolifealliance.com/life%20at%20conception%20act.htm


The Republican Death party is also trying to remove or otherwise disband the powers of the EPA and FDA, in an all out effort to allow Companies to put or leave poisonous things in our foodstuffs that they are required to remove right now, it obviously costs more to produce safer products. Less regulations will allow them to import items that have not conformed to US safety standards, I remind you of lead contained in painted toys imported a while back from China. I'm sure that you also remember millions of baby bottles being removed from the shelves of Walmart because they contained dangerous chemicals...something I'm sure costed the company millions of dollars.


Lesser regulations in the field would result in more unsafe practices in the Oil industry, the Chemical industry and the Nuclear industry, all of which would result in increased risk to life and limb, in these industries. This could mean the Chemical companies would have a more free hand in using chemicals that are dangerous to humans and the environment.


Of the 90,000 chemicals that have been invented and are in use over the past 100 years only, only 15% have been tested for human use, and then this is done with testing to determine the effects on adults. http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2008/disappearingmale/chemicals.html


Our babies and young children are not even addressed concerning what adverse effects these chemicals will have on them. One wonders why there are increasing amounts of strange and new diseases children have been developing over the last 40 years. I think these untested chemicals must play some role in the afflictions of our kids.


So, this is just a small peek into the Republican Party of Death...Beware...

A Third Woman And A Witness Accuses Cain…Well Duhh!!!

A third woman has come out accusing Herman Cain of inappropriate behavior. We all knew that would happen didn’t we? These acts usually come in groups, getting easier to perform as the years go by and the success rate rises. The Huffington Post runs this story “The ex-staffer, a woman who worked for Cain at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, told the Associated Press that GOP candidate displayed aggressive and unsolicited behavior, including suggestive remarks and inappropriate gestures. She claimed that he even invited her back to his apartment.”

This story comes hard on the heels of a prediction I made in one of my previous articles in which I predicted that Rick Perry would jump on the failing Cain Republican run, by squeezing the throat of the already choking campaign. In this case Perry has sent one (allegedly) of his indirect campaign staff to do the job…the gentleman is saying he was a witness to inappropriate actions carried out by Cain on one of his accusers. This story was broken on CNN this afternoon -11/02/11 – and is already engulfing the web in the flames of an exploding Cain campaign.

This is how The National Journal.com post put it:

Chris Wilson, a Republican pollster and former employee of the National Restaurant Association, said he witnessed GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain sexually harass a co-worker.
“Everybody was aware of it,” Wilson said in an interview on Oklahoma City’s KTOK radio.
The alleged incident took place in a restaurant in Crystal City, Va., in plain sight. Wilson told POLITICO “it was very uncomfortable.” It is important to note Wilson’s current position: He is a pollster for a SuperPAC that supports Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a clear rival of Cain’s in the race to the White House.”

Herman Cain Denies Sexual Harassment

Why is October 31 2011 a big f***ing deal? Well,  for the kiddies out there it means a great night of Trick or Treating, but for political junkies like myself it has a much darker and sinister appeal this year. Everyone's favorite sideshow candidate for the Republican nomination is trying to duck under rocks or slip into any snake's hole in the ground to avoid the questions fielded by any reporter worth his salt in the media today. That question is "Mr Cain, are you guilty of sexual harassment against those women?'


To counter the already looming avalanche that is certain to tumble his prospects for being the country's 2nd black president, Mr. Cain sent his cigarette smoking, hero cowboy Chief of Staff to do the usual 'bob and weave' on the MSNBC's Daily Rundown with everyone's favorite, Chuck Todd. As expected Mr. Block was as close to being declarative as he could be without actually saying that he was there and saw that nothing happened. Having now had my 2nd look this morning at Mr. Block, the 1st being the 'Cain for President" (now viral) ad, where Mr. Block is smoking and puffing smoke at the camera, I must say he looks completely human...and likable.  He seems to be a soft spoken and honorable man, one wonders what evil things he did in his last life, to be saddled with Herman Cain in this one.


Apparently the Cain Campaign is deflecting all questions to the outfit which he headed during the alleged claims between 1996 to 1999, the National Restaurant Association. One wonders if that will be enough to lay this issue to rest, since the women in question were made to sign agreements that gave them financial 'incentives' to leave albeit under the restriction  of what could be called a 'Gag Order'. Only the future will tell if this 'Gag Order' is airtight, or if Mr. Cain will be forced to resort to 'greasing the wheels' again, to encourage these women to develop some sort of  'forgetful' behavior about the incident.


One can expect Rick Perry--the man waiting in the wings with the most to gain and hoping that the impending nosedive of Herman Cain's campaign  will serve  to reinvigorate his own--to launch a frantic attack and grab at the throat of Cain's now choking campaign and squeeze it for all it's worth. This is going to be a wonderful and eventful Halloween 2011 indeed, with Herman Cain screaming "bring me facts, let me face my accusers" ...while he drowns in an apparent mess of his own making.  Here is how the BBC reports it.

Pastor Oral Roberts' Gay Grandson Has A Message...

Many do not know who was Oral Roberts but many of us who are old enough do...He put the Evangelic TV Productions on the map, he was truly a great pioneer in this field...in the 1970's. He was a good man, as all people are...some of them just don't know it. Because some don't know it, they are confused about just what to do about the fact that they themselves are Gay, or that there are Gay people living on Earth. They are confused because there are many uninformed Religious opinions about how and why there are Gay people and they are confused about what Religious dogma says about Gay people. Religion says that being Gay is some kind of sin...that is just confused and uninformed on so many levels.

Gay people are people ...plain and simple. Just as you and I...who dress warm in the winter, eat food so we will live another day and love life and those close to us. We do what we think we need to do to be happy, healthy and alive...this is exactly what Gay people want too. They want to be happy, they want to be healthy and they want to live and love as they feel happy doing. That's all...end of story.

Religion is the largest stumbling block to Gay people. Their wish to just live a happy, healthy and normal life, is just what any human being wants for themself...normal life...yes I said that and did not make a mistake...it is normal to be Gay...or straight. It is not a curse from some idiotic god, it is not a mistake of Nature it is just what some people are, regardless of how, when or why they find themselves being Gay.  Some of us are born Gay, some of us fall in love with being Gay and some of us physically change and become Gay later in life when our Hormones start changing from Testosterone, to become Estrogen...and vice versa. I live in New York City where I have come to know all these people and everyone is a star...one of my friends even did the whole sex change thing...and I love him for who she now is...

One may argue that changing Hormones do not a Gay person make...and we are just instead embracing our  Gay side that was already there...maybe...human beings are so different, so dynamic and so wonderful, that all of the above is true.

I understand the Gay issue from being on the outside and then being thrust headfirst inside it...it's not as big a deal as those who misunderstand it think it is. There is a saying that goes..."Don't just watch...BE" ...they are just being real, being themselves, their loving selves, while those who misunderstand are being something they are really not...and that is being  hateful.

Humans are really not meant to be hateful, but 'The Bible tells us so.'...(that's part of a children's song.) Yes, children are indoctrinated into the hateful part of all religious cults at a time in their lives when they are susceptible to this hateful rhetoric ...when they are defenseless to ward off the hate spewed by the elders of the religion...so they grow up to become hateful religious adults...something Pastor Oral Roberts and those preachers (snake oil salesmen) like him have done since religion was invented and women were deemed lesser and unclean...this is why it is so refreshing to see his Grandson son trying to create and grow a movement that changes the thinking of these mentally damaged Evangelists and all other religious people. Hate is a disease of the mind...so yes they are mentally damaged.

Pastor Oral Roberts' Grandson is Randy Robert Potts, his Facebook page ishttps://www.facebook.com/randyrobertspotts?sk=wall ...go like it...

This is his message...
"Young gay kids are still dying. In the words of U2's Bono, "How long to sing this song?" In 1950, gays did not have the Constitutionally-guaranteed right of assembly -- even a gay book club could be legally broken up by police who summarily recorded names in order to publicly shame gay men and women. We've come a slow, long way, and like Dr. King, we can finally see the promised land -- but -- we aren't quite there.
There are STILL gay men and women questioning if they are a decent human being with any reason to live, and most of them come from Evangelical backgrounds. The largest group still opposing gay rights in America are Evangelicals -- convince them to change and we'll change the country. When the first major Evangelical leader publicly embraces gays with open arms, well, that will be the beginning of the end. It's not far off.

This is the time to be speaking out -- as far as I can tell, the iron is hot! I am a grandson of televangelist Oral Roberts who just happened to be born gay; 31 years later I found a way to embrace my big gay heart. I am a writer, hoping to brighten my grandfather’s legacy in terms of the “gay question” – young Evangelicals are currently asking “What should we do with the gays?” when the question should be “What would we do without them?” We are not out to change minds -- we are out to calm fears.

Evangelicals are scared. They hear from their leaders that gays are poisoning society, that their god destroys cities on account of homosexuality, that two men loving each other is disgusting to god. Address this irrational fear head on, and minds will change of their own accord. This is not a fight we're going to win with logic. The only task today is to spread hope. Hope, to young gay kids. Hope, to scared Evangelicals. Hope, to politicians walking the fence.

Spread enough hope and someday we can live the dream Dr. King spoke about 50 years ago --"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."" It's almost here."
