Foul Financial Fuck-Ups, and the Felonious Fuck-Sticks That Fabricate Them

Well good readers, I've been out of the fray for a while. I swore after the last post, I would NOT write another one, until a month after the new President was sworn in. That would give me time to see what manner of madness we would be dealing with for the next four years.

Fortunately we now have President Obama, and on this, the day after his first two months on the job, and except for that gaff on Leno, I like what I'm seeing, so far. That may change at any given time, but so far so good!

As many of you are doubtlessly aware... (Alright, as ALL OF US ARE AWARE!), most of the largest financial institutions in this country are circling the drain on their merry way to oblivion! All of their overindulged, overpaid, and under qualified bigwig CEOs, and Wall Street lackeys shrieking in protest!

The Republicans are all lined up with tear-stained eyes to blame it all on those dirty-bad-nasty Liberals and their godless ways! BULLSHIT!!!!!!! I lay this squarely on the head of none other than Phill Gramm himself! Sponsor, and coauthor of "The Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act of 1999"!

Ah yes! Let's talk about that weaselly little piece of larceny, along with it's partner in crime "The Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000"! Look these two pieces of legislature up! Use Google, use Ask, use whatever! Take your time! I'll just sit here and wait!

Oh? Back already? Jumping up and down and shrieking "WHAT THE FUCK!", a lot? Yea! I feel ya! Did it too!

I'll just wait for you to get done!

It's not like the blood was even hidden! Here's a press release:

CHAIRMAN GRAMM'S OPENING STATEMENT AT CONFERENCE
MARK-UP OF FINANCIAL SERVICES MODERNIZATION

Sen. Phil Gramm, chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, made the following opening statement today at the conference mark-up of Financial Services Modernization:

"America has been waiting 50 years for this bill, so I am going to be brief.

"Anyone who looks at the chairmen's mark will immediately see two things. One, there was a conscious effort not to go outside the scope of this conference. We thought it was important to have a bill that would stay inside the scope of the conference. I think members will find that, except for a few provisions related to the Federal Home Loan Bank System, where the provisions of this bill would dramatically change the operation of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. We did take a few steps to reign in the Federal Housing Finance Board in terms of actions they are taking that are opposed by the Treasury and where there is strong bi-partisan concern.

"Other than that, I am not aware of any major, or really any minor, provision outside the scope of the two bills. I think all of us recognize that if you want a bill, it means compromise. As Chairman Bliley said the other day when we presented the chairmen's mark, nobody ever gets all of what they want. You end up with compromise.

"I think again if people will look at the bill, they will see that there is a good faith effort in the bill to reach a compromise on numerous issues. There clearly was a compromise on CRA. Secretary Summers has said, and I quote, ‘The President will only support financial modernization that maintains the relevance of CRA. He will not permit it to be scaled back.' I would submit that anyone who reads the provisions of this bill will see that in fact the bill does meet that test. We have left a very tough issue, the unitary thrift issue, to be settled as a jump ball, but with the agreement, at least on the part of the three chairmen, that whatever happens on that issue, we are going to move ahead and pass this bill.

"I think that this is a bill, a mark-up document, where the more you look at it, the more knowledgeable you are about its content, and the content of current law, the better it is going to look.

"I want to thank Chairman Bliley, and I want to thank Chairman Leach. This has been a very difficult task but to do this work, it is worthy of our best efforts, and I think we have given our best efforts to it. Obviously, we are here today to finish the job, improve the product if we can and move ahead if we can't."

There it is, people! Every word of it! No slicing and dicing of the quotes, and hanging them together with those annoying three periods in a row! No trying to make the quotes say what the quotes don't! All of it! Every fucking word!!!!! Nothing left out! Nothing held back! Don't take my word for it! READ IT YOURSELVES!

From it's inception, this was the shadiest of shit! Conceived, and born to be the wettest dream of Big Finance! A grand and lovely gift! Wrapped and ribboned by their very own dimpled darling! Felonious Phill Gramm himself! A wondrous, and treacherous gutting of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933! A piece of legislation, which had been preventing the sort of things that caused The Great Depression from ever happening again! Of course the Glass-Steagall Act prevented savings banks, investment banks, and insurance companies from growing into the monstrous, all absorbing entities that, Citigroup, Bear Stearns, and Bank of America turned into! It would not allow them to grow large enough to rip up the rule book, hold the entire country hostage, and write their own law! Big Finance had to get rid of it!

Also in the 1999 slaughter of nearly all the regulation standing between Big Finance, and whatever acts of thievery in it's hearts' desired, was the obvious pulling of any teeth, and the funding, that any regulatory entity had! Felonious Phill, and His Gang, put the cops on horses, and the robbers on Harleys! Fifty years of common sense regulation! Gone! In the stroke of a pen!

Oh, I don't even attempt to say their weren't a few Democrat's hands involved! And from the start, they, and their fellow Republican lackeys, did their deeds in darkness, and made no secret of the fact! Thus giving Felonious Phill the cover he needed to pronounce the old mantras of "Bipartisan support" as to the reason they kept such a VERY tight lid on this turd! It's pretty damned obvious, this bill was written to set the weasels lose in the hen house, and seat the fox to watch the flock! And let us not forget that old "Blow-Job Bill" signed both of these turds into law, even though the Commodities Futures Act was neatly buried in a 1100 page budget bill.

Ah, and wasn't there rare rejoicing in Dittohead Punditland! Boss Rush worked The Forbidden Chemistry on his stash of Oxycontin tablets, and made most merry with the results! Tucker Carlson acted on all the evil thoughts, he'd ever had concerning his bow tie, and Glenn Beck danced with a brisk step in his Secret Mormon Underwear! Everything standing between the fleecing of The American People, and the wool baskets was gone! The sheep were ripe, the shears were sharp, and hands were strong and willing!

Now, came the grandest piece of thievery imaginable! A series of acts so grim in their scope, and blatant in their larceny, it boggles my jaded mind as to how they got away with it as long as they did! Banks wrote sub prime, and NINJA loans (No Income No Job Access), to anyone who could sign their name! NO oversight! NO credit ratings examinations! Mortgages were written by unregulated agents, who were paid by the note! They had their own private regulators, (who were on their pay roll), rubber stamp these loans as AAA, and sold them as Mortgaged Backed Securities,(MBS) with high yields to both a domestic and international market! Even though, in real terms, they weren't worth the paper they were written on!

One of the over-the-counter derivatives, also deregulated in 2000 was the Credit Default Swap in which companies like AIG guaranteed the buyer of a MBS that for a premium AIG would guarantee the over-rated, and under-secured mortgages, against any potential losses in the case of default. These securities themselves were bought and sold at increasing profit margins. This became the fastest growing market and today amount to almost 60 trillion dollars of global debt! SIXTY TRILLION DOLLARS TRACED BACK DIRECTLY TO REPUBLICAN SPONSORED DEREGULATION

Everything was just wonderful! Everything was just fucking dandy! Until August of 2007, when the housing bubble, (Which had been steadily fed by building starts, artificially supported by the buck-wild mortgage market), collapsed on top of them! Then, the sudden rush of defaults, and the resulting foreclosures exposed the whole sad affair! Bank-Supported Insurance Giants like AIG who had been writing loss prevention policies on just plain out bad loans, wound up with forty dollars of debt for every dollar of assets! Then, ( just like when The Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 sank the Savings and Loans in the 90's), a glut of bad debt crushed the the entire financial industry! But now instead of just a few savings and loans, it was a huge chunk of the Global Economy which has suddenly become worthless at best, or turned into a giant sucking black hole, engulfing any, and, all money at worse!

Now, people, I want you to go to the library, and dig in the dusty tomes for anything about The Great Depression, and what steps were taken by The Hoover Administration, and The Roosevelt administration! Get yourself educated on the matter! We're living it again! Look at what worked, and look at what didn't! You'll come to the same conclusions that I did! President Obama is doing what needs to be done! I don't like it, and you shouldn't either, but its the only thing that will work at this stage in the game! We've got to pump money into the patients while we stop the bleeding! We've got one shot at this thing, and even if everything works out, we'll be paying the price for this for a long time to come!

Or we can take the Hoover Administration's way, and watch The Big Money sit on their asses, and count their bonus money! Oh! And they will get their bonus money7! That tax law that went through The Legislature like shit through a goose, is unconstitutional on at least two major points, AND THEY KNOW IT!! Big money plays, and the poor man pays! That's the free market system under Republican control!

It is the very Republicans, now howling about "Socialism" that caused the nightmare that we are living in now! The very ones screaming for MORE deregulation are the very ones that caused this whole sad scenario in the first place! The Few..The Loud..The Republicans!

There's a damned good reason for the dumbing down of America! There's a damned good reason for Republican-led opposition to any increase in educational funding! The Big Money wants the American People just smart enough to do the grunt work, and just dumb enough to buy their line of shit!

Numb, dumb, and hungry for more! That's what they're looking for in an American!

Well, We, the People woke up in 2008! I'm praying The Republicans won't sing us to sleep again!

Keep watch, people! And shoot at sound of a slow fiddle!

Sarah Palin, and Her Adventures in Anti-America Land

I've been trying to write a post on Sarah Palin, but every time I find something, I find something three times worse! But when I found out about "The First Dude" being a member of the Anti-American "Alaska Independence Party", I thought "NAWWW! Must be some kind of joke" Well guess what what! It's not a fucking joke!!!

Oh the incredible GALL of this corn fed bitch with the voice that could be used as an instrument of torture! Oh! I'm sorry ladies! Did I call her a bitch! Allow me to apologize! I shouldn't call her a bitch! TO DO SO IS TO UNFAIRLY SLANDER BITCHES!!!!!

This vile harpy in the High end wardrobe would stand in front of an audience of the hoplessly deluded "Sheople" that make up her base, and call William Aires a terrorist, and "Anti American" for doing what the Radical Right Wing are in favor of doing to abortion clinics, yet you, not only "pal around" with a man, who up until recently was a member of "Alaska Independence Party", you actually married him, and had him father your oddly-named progeny!

An organization founded by one Joe Vogler who was so anti-American, he actually once said "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the flag of the country that Ms. Palin would serve as Vice President, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. When Alaska is an independent nation, they can bring my bones home."! DAMN!!! Sounds pretty hard core to me!!!

The intrepid Mr. Vogler was murdered in 1993 by one Manfried West who snuffed the intrepid Mr. Vogler while in the middle of a misguided attempt to transfer ownership of some illegal plastic explosives(!!!!!) The REAL kicker to the demise of this darling of the Radical Right Wing of Alaska, is that his demise occurred a mere matter of weeks before he was to address The United Nations on matters concerning the secession of Alaska from the United States! An address that was sponsored by... (wait for it!)... IRAN!!!!!!!

A mere year from the discovery of Vogler's freshly frozen corpse in a gravel pit in Fairbanks, "The Fist Dude" joined up with the AIP, and so did Governor Palin! Attending the AIP 2000 convention, and giving the keynote speech at their 2006 convention! She even recorded a greeting for this years convention! This is something that didn't happen when she was eight years old but is happening right now! She talks about bombings, yet what exactly was Vogler going to do with those plastic explosives? I'm pretty sure it wasn't for a fourth of July celebration!

So Governor Palin is paling around with these characters, yet she refuses to call abortion clinic bombers "terrorists"! People who kill police officers, are not terrorists? WELL! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THEN!!!!!!

When it comes to "Paling around with terrorists" Ms Palin has much to answer for! And it's time she started getting asked the questions! Here this Volger character is linked to the country of Iran, and trying to score plastic explosives! Granted he's a dead now, but Ms. Palin, and her husband have no qualms about being CURRENTLY active in an organization he founded, and giving support to his followers! Yet Obama is called repeatedly for what Bill Aires did when he was eight years old! I think it's time to start rooting around in Sarah Palin's past!

An Open Letter to John McCain

Dear Mr. McCain,

Repeatedly, we hear your pundits tossing out your grand adventures in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton". We have heard many times your," support for the troops". Time, and yet time again we are appraised of your wondrous patriotism. Tell me sir, did you think we would never find out? Did you think we were that stupid or that lazy?

YOU, sir are not WORTHY of the respect being doled out on your lying, traitorous ass! Did you think, sir that we would not research? Did you think sir that we would not do due diligence in the search for the truth? Did you, sir think that we would be somehow intimidated by your yapping dog reactionary tactics, and your unending endeavors to go to any lengths to stand between the people, and the truth? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU, SIR!

How DARE you backhand Geannette Jenkins against the wall of the very hall of The Senate on June of 1996! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! How dare you lay hands on a woman in the hall way of the Senate building, you insufferable, fucking coward! And THEN, sir, as if to prove there was no slowing your headlong rush to the despicable, you confront Mrs. Jeane Duke Gaylord, mother of Charles Duke Jr. A lady in her mid eighties! A lady confined to a wheelchair, and requiring bottled oxygen! A lady who only reached out to you, begging to be heard! AND TO HER, SIR, YOU RAISED YOUR HAND? READY TO STRIKE? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU, SIR!!!!!!

HOW DARE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND AGAINST AN ELDERLY LADY IN A WHEELCHAIR!!!! A LADY WHOSE SON WAS ACTUALLY A CIVILIAN CONTRACTOR WHEN CAPTURED IN NORTH VIETNAM!! THE VERY EPITOME OF A VOLUNTEER IN HOSTILE ENEMY TERRITORY!! YOU INSUFFERABLE PRICK!!!!! HOW DARE YOU TURN TO AN ELDERLY LADY IN HER LAST GRASP OF LIFE WITH VIOLENCE AGAINST HER IN YOUR HEART AND MIND!!!

A MOTHER WHO HAS ANSWERED HER COUNTRY'S CALL!! A MOTHER WHO GAVE TO HER COUNTRY THE DEAREST GIFT A MOTHER CAN GIVE!!! THE VERY LIFE OF HER SON!! A MOTHER WHO WANTS ONLY TO HAVE HER QUESTIONS AS TO HER LATE SON'S LAST MOMENTS ON THIS EARTH, IN THE TRULY HEROIC SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY ANSWERED!!

YOU, SIR WOULD RAISE YOUR HAND TO STRIKE THIS LADY? YOU, SIR, WOULD DISHONOR YOUR SELF, YOUR OFFICE, AND YOUR COUNTRY, BY THIS COWARDLY ACT? YOU, SIR WOULD TREACHEROUSLY RAISE YOUR HAND TO STRIKE AT THE VERY HEART AND SOUL OF ALL THAT IS GREAT AND GOOD IN THIS COUNTRY? GOD HELP YOU, SIR!!!!!

What reason can you possibly give for your continuous, and unfathomable opposition of The 1992 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs? Why in the Name of God would you struggle so hard to keep hidden, facts concerning the status of your fellow POW/MIAs? Why, sir? Why would you stand in the way of the healing of the ragged, festering wounds of Vietnam, that STILL plague this country? Why would you throw up every wall in your power to erect between the truth and those families of POW/MIAs that have every right to know it? Why, sir? What is this horrible truth that must never be known?

Could it be that you were indeed never held at "The Hilton"? Could it be that you were indeed transferred to the Gai Lam Military Hospital as soon as the North Vietnamese learned your name? As it is stated in the numerous US Government documents? Could it be that at the time you declared that you were being tortured, and beaten at the infamous Hao Lo (Hanoi Hilton) POW Camp, you were indeed being held at the camp known as "The Plantation"? Perhaps, Phung Van Chung, the Communist Party Chief at the time was speaking the truth when he said you were given "soft treatment", because of your value as a bargaining chip? Perhaps your fellow POWs were telling the truth when they say, you were not EVER tortured, and they were there with you! Could it be, sir that you are ashamed of some part of your military service? Could THAT be the reason you fought so hard to keep it all a secret? The reason that you struggled so hard to prevent ANY of your service record from being declassified?

Do you think that you can keep it hidden forever, sir? And just exactly are you hiding? We the People have a right to know, and, Sir, we will KNOW!

We as a people forgive much, sir! We as a people understand the terror of a POW in a foreign land! But we as a people have grow weary of lies from our President, and more of the same, will earn you no allies, and you will find your supporters fleeing you like rats from a sinking ship! I call on you, sir to do the right thing! Withdraw your blockage to the declassification of ALL information concerning POWs, and MIAs for Vietnam, and Korea! Do this, sir, and you will get a small bit of the respect I once held for you back!

Otherwise, you, sir, are not worthy of my respect! I will fight against you with every fiber of my being! Those POWs and MIAs are my brothers in arms! Whether you accept them as yours, or not!

Of Weed and War

Ryan Fredricks was resting comfortably in his Virginia home on January 17 of this year. He was a little concerned because of a burglary earlier in the week, but he had his .380 automatic pistol, so he could at least defend himself if the perpetrators returned.

At or about 8:00 PM, there was a crash of splintering wood, and his door exploded inwards. Thinking that the burglars had returned Ryan palmed his .380, and fired through the hole that had just been knocked in the lower part of his front door. Unfortunately it wasn't a burglar, it was a S.W.A.T team serving a "No Knock Search Warrant" which the burglary perpetrator had testified to against him.

The perjurer's statement was all it took to get a warrant, and the no knock abuse of Ryan's Fourth Amendment Rights slammed head on into his Second Amendment Rights. The results? Narcotics Detective Jarrod Shivers, 34, husband, and father of 3 children, age 2, 8, and 14 was shot dead at the bottom of the front steps of Ryan's home.

The results of the search? A misdemeanor amount of pot, and not the large growing operation that they were looking for.

Ryan's crime: Growing Japanese Maples, that for reasons good or bad were confused with marijuana plants.

A brave officer, father, and husband lies dead, and a 28-year-old father faces the death penalty for defending himself against what any rational person would consider an armed intrusion into his home. A militaristic invasion in the quest for something that didn't even exist!

One life ended, and at least five changed forever by a war that even it's most ardent supporters concede has no chance in hell of success! A war that ruins lives, causes untold pain to medicinal users, and takes what could be one of the most useful medicinal, and industrial plants out of use, and out of the hands of Americans everywhere! A plant so useful that if someone had told the founding fathers that it would ever be made illegal in this country, they would have called you a liar! A plant that provided the fibers, from which the very paper the Declaration of Independence, and The Constitution of The United States of America was written on, was made! A WAR AGAINST A FUCKING PLANT!!!!

A plant from which the sails, and rigging for "Old Ironsides" was made! A plant, from whose name the word "canvas" was coined! A plant without which no ship would have ever sailed in The United States Navy before the age of steam began! A plant that provided the very thread from which this great country was sewn! BANNED! ILLEGAL!!!

And for what? Because it was interfering with the dreams of DuPont, and Mellon, and Hearst! Because racist pricks were concerned that Nordic American women, might smoke it, and be tempted into sex with African American men! Lest "Ginger Colored Niggers might tempt the flower of white woman hood into the bed of depravity" (words actually spoken in the halls of Congress)!

Just today in my home state of North Carolina, Steve Marlowe was in court to have the charges against him dropped! Felony charges, based on evidence attained with a search warrant acquired on perjured testimony! Testimony that Superior Court Judge Marlene Hyatt stated showed "a reckless disregard for the law" to obtain a search warrant from it's use!

And what was Steve Marlowe's crime? What was the felonious deed that required that the Polk County Sheriff's Department employ perjury to obtain a search warrant to discover? He was growing medicinal marijuana for his wife Jean, who has a serious knee injury, and a liver condition that will only allow marijuana to be used as treatment! This happened in my own back yard!!! These charges were brought by a Sheriff who is facing RAPE CHARGES!!!

Here in Polk County North Carolina! Here in the very buckle of the Bible Belt! An accused rapist arrests a man for providing medicine for his wife!

THINK ABOUT THAT AND TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!

George Carlin 1937-2008

The world is less funny today. It's less quirky, less intelligent, less radical, less profane, less a lot of things, that it really, REALLY needs to be!

The reason is because the incredible, irreverent, inimitable George Carlin passed away yesterday from heart failure at the age of 71, after complaining of chest pains.

Seven words you can't say on television? Shit, piss fuck, suck, cock sucker, mother fucker, and tits? Fuck yea I'll say 'em! Damned straight, I'll say 'em! George took the case all the way to the fucking Supreme Court so I can say 'em!! In fact I think I'll just go out in the street and say 'em all day! I'll walk up to strangers on the street, shake their hands, and say "Shit, piss, fuck, suck, cock sucker, mother fucker, and tits!" and walk away! I'll just walk the fuck away, and leave them standing their with that look on their faces that defies explanation! I will do these things, and George would flat out dig it!

Nobody ever made me laugh and think quite like George Carlin, and the world will be a sadder, and dumber place without him!


RIP George!

Hillary, We Hardly Knew Ye!!

"I didn't, because I've been around long enough. You know, My husband didn't wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?

'We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just don't understand it. You know, there's lots of speculation about why it is.' ", said Mrs. Hillary Clinton in response to a question as to whether her continued primary campaign hurts the Democratic Party's overall campaign for The Presidency.

Mrs. Clinton, please be assured that it is with the utmost respect that I ask: JUST WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!!!

Do not, madam even consider that I am in any way suggesting that you are putting forth the opinion the Mr Obama should meet the same fate as Senator Robert Kennedy! But when from the very beginning of his campaign, the specter of death threats have circled his head like vultures, your words could have hardly been more ill chosen or recklessly spoken!

Mrs Clinton, the very fact that you would bring up that horrible day in June of 1968, when a visionary! A man of incredible strength, and courage! A leader inspired! And at the very summit of grand victory, only to be ripped away, with the cup of healing that he held out, from a nation torn and thirsting for unity, is incomprehensible, reprehensible, and just plain wrong! Wrong on more levels than the remaining years on this planet I pray for, would ever give me time to pronounce!

Then, Mrs Clinton, when your spokesperson Mo Elliethee was called on to comment on this damnable offense, he spoke the following "She was simply referencing her husband in 1992, and Bobby Kennedy in 1968 as historic examples of the nominating process going well into the summer. Any reading into beyond that would be inaccurate.

So, Mrs. Clinton! When called to account for one of your all too frequent gaffs! Your campaign is called on, to once again paint you as the victim!

No "We are sorry"

No "The statement was ill conceived, and unfortunate"

Not even an "Oops!"

Once again, Mrs Clinton, your campaign proceeds to cast you in the role of the courageous heroine! And to pronounce, unashamedly, that you, Madam, have been so sorely and unfairly put upon! The same knee-jerk reaction that we have all come to expect when you are called into question! Repeatedly pronounced when your own statements inconveniently jump up to bite you on the ass!

Then Mrs. Clinton, when even you saw that statement, lacking any scope, or showing even the slightest hint of remorse. You appeared in person, for this moment would demand no less! Before reporters you speak of your, "...regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation-particularly that family-was in any way offensive...".

Mrs. Clinton went on to discuss her "view", and then her"honor"; Virtues that her own actions, and the actions of her campaign show both to be sadly lacking!

Once again, no, "I am sorry"

Once again, no, "The statement was ill conceived."

And as to "oops!", the lady spoke only of "regrets"! And this, only after vaguely rearranging the very same dismissive statements made by the spokesperson of her campaign! As that she is the victim! As that she, having to justify her own statements, was sorely, and unfairly put upon!

Mrs. Clinton, this nation is sick and sad! This nation is torn and bleeding! The last eight years has seen this nation, and her people suffer much from the current administration. We have been sick and sad before, madam! We have been torn and bleeding before, madam! We have suffered much before, and we do not in any way presume to think that the suffering will end any time soon! But we are strong Mrs. Clinton! And in spite of this administration, or perhaps in a twisted way, because of it, we have ears to hear! We have eyes to see! And we have souls to feel!

We heard your lies concerning your white-knuckled landing under fire in Bosnia, where at the very airport you proclaimed to be under attack, you recieved poetry, and flowers from children!

We heard you swear to abide by the rules of your party by insisting the votes not to be counted in Michigan. Only later, when it suited your own aims, to declare those who follow the rules, that you yourself swore to uphold, to be somehow undemocratic!

We heard you pledge not to even campaign in Florida, then immediately broke that pledge, and to do so anyway! And when the votes were found to favorable to your campaign, you accused those who also swore to stick by those rules to be racists, and misogynists!

We saw you produce Bin Laden's photograph in and anti-Obama ad! Dividing by fear, and using terrorist actions for political gain!

We saw you bow in appeasement to the pundits at Fox News! Gushing over their "fairness", even as they pronounced you a murderer!

We saw you pursue Richard Mellon Scaife for his endorsement! We heard you laughing at your description of what you called his "Deathbed Confession!

We heard you and Geraldine Ferraro, on a nationally syndicated radio show, ambushing Senator Obama with racial attacks!

We heard your husband make the same racial attacks on live television, comparing Senator Obama with Jesse Jackson

We have seen all these things, and more!

Mrs. Clinton, we have seen what happens when we chose our leaders based on fears!

We have heard the steady crunch of the jackboots coming ever closer to steal what little freedom we have left!

We feel the pain of having to go without, while our tax dollars fund that which we neither want, or see any reason for!

We do all these things, madam, yet we forgive you for much!

But when you tear the nearly closed wound of Robert Kennedy's death open a mere two weeks before it happened 40 years ago! When you rip the very soul of this nation apart, so your campaign can dip from the Well of Despair, the briniest brew, and pour it into the ragged gash of your own creation, and call your actions, and the actions of your spokesperson a healing balm, when its nothing more than a horrid torture mascaraing as cure!

When you can resolve yourself to say, in essence, "We're going to hang around a while yet! Obama might get shot like Robert Kennedy did! You never know!", and further resolve yourself, to declare that you, yourself are being victimized, by being called to task for saying it!

Then it's time for this country to say "Hillary! We hardly knew ye!"

"Mission Accomplished" Five Years From a Foul Lie, Seven Years From The Foulest!

Thursday May 1, will be the fifth anniversary of President Pork Pie's grand lie, proclaimed on a carrier deck that the war in Iraq was over, and our brave men, and women were heading home. I have neither the time or the bit space to go into all the lies that led up to, or proceeded after that obscene piece of grandstanding that put US Naval Personnel in danger, just so President Pork Pie could look all militaristic for the thirty-odd percent of the country that still believe in his bullshit!

We all watched in amazement as he jumped out of his zippy new fighter jet in his snazzy new flight suit, and pronounced a string of lies so profound that it's kept late-night comedians in material for years! We all sat in slack-jawed amazement at the depth, and breadth of these shameless falsehoods concerning what was done, and what was yet to be done.

But the lies I shall address today date from August 21. 2000. And if this certain speech was not so vile in it's falseness, so ridiculously, and patently the opposite of all that was said, as compared to all that was done, it would be the highest comedy! But for the grim truth of the suffering of our Veterans it would be the stuff of mirth undeniable! But the suffering is real, and these words as hollow as gourds on a mid-winter day! Submitted for your assessment is the speech I'm referring to:

"The facts are stark and the facts are real...Our men and women in uniform love their country more than their comfort. They have never failed us, and we must not fail them. But the best intentions and the highest morale are undermined by back-to-back deployments, poor pay, shortages of spare parts and equipment, and rapidly declining readiness."

"...these are signs of a military in decline and we must do something about it. The reasons are clear. Lack of equipment and material. Undermaning of units. Over deployment. Not enough time for family. Soldiers who are on food stamps, and soldiers who are poorly housed. Dick Cheney and I have a simple message today for our men and women in uniform, their parents, their loved ones, their supporters: Help is on the way!"

"A generation shaped by Vietnam must remember the lessons of Vietnam. When America uses force in the world, the cause must be just, the goal must be clear, and the victory must be overwhelming."

"To build morale in today's United States military we must keep faith with those who have worn the uniform in the past. We must keep faith with America's veterans. . . And keeping faith also means giving our veterans first-rate health care and treating the veterans with dignity. . . So chaotic is the process there is now a backlog of nearly one half-million claims. This is no way to treat any citizen, much less a veteran of our armed forces. The veterans health-care system and the claims process will be modernized, so that claims are handled in a fair and friendly way."

"In my Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs will act as an advocate for veterans seeking benefit claims, not act as an adversary. Veterans who once stood in the line of fire to protect our freedom should not have to stand in the line of a bureaucracy that is unwilling to help them in their claims."

---George W. Bush VFW Speech - August 21, 2000

Alright Pork Pie! You actually said something I agree with! Our brave men and women are suffering! Homeless, indigent, untreated, and unmedicated!
