Those Zany Cartoon Republican Candidates

Can you believe those looney-tune-like candidates for president the Republican Party has promoted. The front runner and sure to be the nominee, Willard, is having his present mansion demolished so he can build a bigger mansion. He's made his fortune by taking over companies and getting rid of working class people. He says corporations are people. He says banks should foreclose faster on the people they gave unmanageable home loans to.

The African American pizza king candidate says blame yourself if you can't find a job. Just be willing to work for 61 cents an hour like the people in China do. He is against any form of abortion, but in the same sentence says a woman and her family should make that decision.

The arrogant cowboy from Texas, whose salad must contain loco weed, says social security is a ponzi scheme. He says he's qualified to be president because he's created more minimum wage jobs than any other governor. He's also more qualified because the state of Texas executes more people than any other state.

The audience at the Republican debates actually cheer when it is suggested an uninsured comatose patient should be allowed to die or boo a gay solider serving his country. This field of candidates would just be a joke if they weren't so pathetic.

BLAME YOURSELF

The man with the 9-9-9 plan says if you are poor, hungry, unemployed, or can't afford health insurance, blame yourself. Of course, if you turn the numbers 9-9-9 upside down you get 6-6-6. Yes the mark of the devil, go figure.

So if your rich boss sent your job to China...blame yourself. If failed CEO's get golden parachutes instead of golden showers...blame yourself. If gas and oil companies get obscene tax breaks and are protected by bought and paid for politicians...blame yourself. If you work two minimum wage jobs and so does your spouse and you still can't make ends meet...blame yourself. If you've lost your right to bargain with your employer...blame yourself. If you believe this garbage is fair and vote Republican...blame yourself.

Real Fire in the Belly

I must announce a mea culpa to the O.W.S. protesters. I wrote a blog last year asking where was the fire in the belly of the young people today. The young and old people protesting around the country have proven to all of us that they have what it takes to bring focus to the rape of America by the rich. I totally admire their determination to effect change. What they are doing is incredibly hard and courageous. They are constantly vilified by right wing zealots and their politicians. They have the mainstream media baffled and perplexed. I love it. This is one of the few things in the last ten years that actually gives me hope. To me there is nothing to criticize about the movement. I just want to say thank you. The Japanese Admiral who attacked Pearl Harbor worried afterwards that he had just awakened a sleeping giant. The Wall Streeters and their bought and paid for politicians probably feel the same way.

Theology of the Wealthy

I was channel surfing the other Sunday and I came across some mega church pastor pontificating on the grace bestowed upon the wealthy. He actually said words to the effect that you should feel proud to flaunt your wealth. Drive your luxury car with your head held high. Don't worry about what other people think, god made you wealthy because you deserve it. What a bunch of sacrilegious garbage. These shills for the rich disregard and misinterpret the bible, and the gospels especially, for their own monetary gain. No harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, for them. No good Samaritan giving the shirt off their backs for their fellow man. Not these puffy haired hypocrites. These false prophets preach god only rewards the rich because they are deserving. What would Jesus do? He certainly wouldn't dessert the poor and embrace the rich. What feel-good, obscene trash they spout. Have they no shame or fear?
