Of course Trump is no saint like Reagan. However, with his wealth, he is what a “founding father” would look like today. Yes, very racist; and, very wealthy. Which makes sense when your campaign slogan or presidential goal is to “Make America Great Again.” Which apparently means returning to a time when a woman’s menstrual cycle wasn’t a source of public discourse and hypocritical discomfort.

You know, a simpler time when women were seen and not heard. A time when women were not able to vote; have agency over their own bodies; or, even dared to challenge the sexist and misogynistic thoughts of any man without having blood come out of their eyes or “wherever.” Yes indeed, folks. Those were truly manly and fun times.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front runner, suggested that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly asked him tough questions because she was on her period.

 

Appearing on CNN, captured by Think Progress, Trump said that Kelly, who questioned Trump about past misogynistic statements where he called women pigs and cows was asking “ridiculous questions” because she had “blood coming out of her eyes” and “blood coming out of her whatever.”

 

Trump’s fellow Republican candidates did not issue statements or condemnations of him when he promoted a tweet earlier in the day that called Kelly a “bimbo.”

Now this is interesting…

When Donald Trump made racist remarks about Hispanics, he received little pushback from his Republican ilk. In fact, he doubled down on the notion that Mexican illegal immigrants were rapists and murderers. For which he received a bump in the polls. Yep, nothing like some good old racism to get the Republican base fired up.

He insulted John McCain and his military service. After which, most of them said, “Meh.” No big deal. McCain lost to Obama in 2008 and has apparently fallen out of grace with the Republican base for doing just that. Yes, he wasn’t racist enough.

But now that Trump has attacked the puritanical innocence of white womanhood (sorry Rosie O’Donnell, but you’re a gay) embodied by Fox’s Megyn Kelly, that’s a problem. Shit, I hope he doesn’t end up like Emmett Till. Lord forbid if that should happen.

Once I got a hold of this information, I did what I regularly did: I wrote about it.

Remember this article? Sure you do.

In a decisive paragraph in the beginning, I noted the potential issues that could occur:

Many thought it had to do with birth control. While birth control was one of the bigger issues, it should be noted that many of us missed the bigger picture. This court case was nothing but a singular blow to the wall of societal sanctity through the use of religion. This singular case had the potential to unleash ready havoc on people’s jobs because their “differences” don’t match up with the organization’s “religious values”. In short, this wasn’t about birth control; this decision was about oppression through religious exemption. [2]

This is the man bold enough to be…well, stupid.

Now, that potential has come full circle into fruition thanks to Indiana, Gov. Mike Pence, and SB 101:

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed into law on Thursday a measure that allows businesses to turn away gay and lesbian customers in the name of “religious freedom.”

The bill has sparked an uproar among gamers and church groups that hold their conventions in Indianapolis and businesses that are threatening to pull out of the city. [3]

And yes, we have the Hobby Lobby case to thank for it. And yes, it is sad that I predicted all of this foolishness 9 months ago.

SB 101 – What It All Means

For those that don’t understand what the bill is saying legally, then I can give an explanation. In fact, I will let the Indiana General Assembly give their “interpretation” of it:

Religious freedom restoration. Prohibits a governmental entity from substantially burdening a person’s exercise of religion, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the governmental entity can demonstrate that the burden: (1) is in furtherance of acompelling governmental interest; and (2) is the least restrictive means of furthering the compelling governmental interest. Provides a procedure for remedying a violation. Specifies that the religious freedom law applies to the implementation or application of a law regardless of whether the state or any other governmental entity or official is a party to a proceeding implementing or applying the law. Prohibits an applicant, employee, or former employee from pursuing certain causes of action against a private employer. [4]

In laymen’s terms, this bill allows any business to not deal with any customer/person due to their religious beliefs. The only way there can be legal recourse is if the decision is anti-government. Also, any entity can have rules that the government don’t agree with. Plus, any worker that has an issue with it can professionally “kick rocks”.

So yes, my good people, we have found out that some people want Indiana to go back to the 1950’s.

SB 101 – The Problems Have Arisen

One of the issues that Indiana has to face is the reaction to the SB 101 Bill. For one thing,Gen Con plans on moving their convention if Pence signed the bill. Since he signed the bill, I expect Gen Con to give Indiana their walking papers. Then, there is the issue the NCAAhas with the bill as well. Since the headlining band The Bleachers has a lead singer that is pro-gay marriage, this presents an economic problem for Indiana as a whole.

Another problem is this: by Pence’s ignorance, Indiana is going to be scarred for a while. Their entire reputation has practically taken a major blow. Who would want to visit/live in a state that is working hard to go backwards towards the 1950’s and 1960’s? Do people like Pence want to see a bunch of civil rights marches and demonstrations that we should have been done with those decades past? Are people stupid enough to allow for a bill that legalizes discrimination under the guise of “religious freedom”?

Think about it: people don’t want to worry about not being able to buy a burger because of their race, sexual orientation, or even their belief system.

If Indiana still wants to be stupid enough to allow this, then I have some glaring words to say to them:

Fuck Gov. Mike Pence.

Fuck anybody in Indiana that believes in SB 101 as a bill.

Fuck anybody that agrees with the bill as a whole.

Now, as Indiana struggles with a bill that should not have seen the light of day, I am going to go sip on my tea. That way, when I walk through the aisles of Hobby Lobby (to buy nothing), I can still say “I tried to tell you about this” to all the naysayers from months before.

The post SB 101: How Indiana Turned Back the Clock on the Gays appeared first on Madness & Reality.

History is something that I honestly thirst for. Due to my love of learning, understanding how history actually happens is a desire of mine. To be honest, I don’t want to learn only the good about the past; I also require that I learned the horrible situations that occurred. In short, I have a love for history because I intend to understand the full scope of humanity.

Still, there are plenty of us that want history to be one sided. There are those that want to see America as the blissful land of free enterprise and an abundance of opportunities. Also, there are those that don’t want to see Black America is a great race put in dire situations that most others would struggle within. In addition, there are those that want to paint broad strokes of stereotypes on anything that isn’t “American born”. Thus, there are those that don’t want to tell the whole story unless it is from their perspective.

Oklahoma is Anti AP U.S. History

Oklahoma, home of the Sooners and Garth Brooks, decided that having AP U.S. History courses is plain unconstitutional (or whatever). As NYmag.com noted in their article, there is an explanation for it:

This week in things we wish were just a Colbert Report sketch, an Oklahoma legislative committee overwhelmingly approved a bill that would cut funding for the teaching of Advanced Placement U.S. History. The 11 Republicans who approved the measure over the objections of four Democrats weren’t trying to win over Oklahoma’s lazy high-school juniors. Tulsa World reports that Representative Dan Fisher, who introduced the bill, lamented during Monday’s hearing that the new AP U.S. History framework emphasizes “what is bad about America” and doesn’t teach “American exceptionalism.” It’s a complaint that’s been spreading among mostly conservative state legislatures in recent months and has some calling for a ban on all AP courses.

Earlier this month, the Georgia state Senate introduced a resolution that rejects a new version of the AP U.S. History course for presenting a “radically revisionist view of American history” and minimizing “discussion of America’s Founding Fathers, the principles of the Declaration of Independence, [and] the religious influences on our nation’s history.” It says that if theCollege Board does not revise the test, Georgia will cut funding for the course. The exam has also sparked controversy in Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Colorado, where students in Jefferson County protested last fall when a school-board member said the course should be modified to promote “patriotism” and discourage “civil disorder, social strife, or disregard of the law.” [1]

And all of that above is quite the mouthful. Oklahoma is basically saying that they don’t want AP U.S. History because they feel it focuses on the negative instead of the positive. Yet, if one wants to be correct, no history should be overly positive or negative unless it is told purely in accuracy. In short, Oklahoma wants to do away with AP U.S. History due to the lack of rose-colored shades attached to the course.

AP U.S. History Needed More Propaganda

Yet, I am wondering whether or not people actually realize the problem in all this. You see, a state (and others as well) want to determine what a person CHOOSES to learn about in school. AP courses are voluntary for the sake of acquiring college credit. So, no one has to TAKE the course anyway. Still, there are states hell-bent on eliminating an option the majority of the students probably won’t take up anyway? With the given facts, it would seem that the elephant in the room wears a golden rope necklace with the word “propaganda” on it.

There, I said it: this is nothing but a move of propaganda. Brainwashing seems to be in full effect.

The problem is that too many of us don’t understand how propaganda works. If people are as aware as they should be, then this would bother the hell out of them. A state determining WHAT someone learns is an important step in information control. If there is a control of information, there is a control of learning. If there is a control of learning, there is a control of beliefs and actions. Thus, it is easy to control the minds of the masses by controlling what they know and believe.

The impending doom can become tantamount to less free will and more groupthink type of living. Why deter freedom of speech when that speech is already predetermined? There won’t be any evolutions due to revolution because our true problems will never bear any resolution. They don’t want you to think; they want you to follow. And playing “follow the leader” is much easier when everything around you is under control.

AP U.S. History Epilogue

It should be plain to see why this Oklahoma situation is problematic. Not agreeing with what is being taught is one thing. Controlling the existence of a voluntary high school course of academia is another. Yet, the bigger plan is taking control of what is/isn’t learned. From there, building a society of complacency and acceptance becomes much easier. If you don’t know the history, unliving it and avoiding it becomes null and void.

This is nothing short of a control system.

Look folks, there are lots of important things that are about to go down. The Republicans will try to pass some wicked shit, Obama will veto it. There will be numerous people announcing their candidacy for President. The state of the union is a few weeks away. There will be plenty of things to talk about. Some very important things. What I don’t need to hear about anymore, not one more time, is that nothing ball named Sarah Palin. This is the very last time I want to write about her. Got it?!

I don’t care that her kid stepped on a dog. I really don’t. Kids do this all the time. He is 50 pounds soaking wet and has down syndrome. The huge dog wasn’t in any distress. People do all kinds of weird shit with their animals. They dress them in horrific ways, they make them chase balls endlessly, they put crazy photos of them online. They don’t train them right half the time, and on and on and on. I truly don’t give a shit about Palin or her dog. In fact any dog that would be a friend of Palin is no friend of mine!! If it had any sense it would do everything it can to escape in the middle of the night.

See how silly this all is? How inane?! Everything involving this woman is stupid. No wait, not just stupid but as the great Lawrence O’Donnell would say..stoooopid. She is an attention loving whore. There is no nice way to say it and even if there was I wouldn’t say it. When you give a whore attention they continue to pine for more. It’s never ending. I know if she is reading this she is getting excited by every word. The problem is that the media won’t stop giving her attention. They love the reality show. It gets ratings. So they keep talking about dumb shit that doesn’t matter and the public makes it worse by splattering it all over social media.

This is a vicious cycle. We are about to get the off hand comment, surrounded with that meaningless Palin word salad, that says she is considering the possibility of running for President. You know it’s coming, in 3..2…..And when she says it, the men who run the media outlets in the country will masturbate under their desks and go with the story as though it has meaning and substance.  You and I will know it’s just the whore doing as the whore does, trying to keep herself in the spotlight.

People who have no business being on television will pretend she matters. Once again. “Does she really have a chance?” Some idiot talking head will ask. Mark my words. Come back to the column once it happens and let everyone know how brilliant I am. It’s actually pretty easy to predict. It happened in the 2012 election cycle even though you and I knew she would never, ever run for President. Ever. That would take work and Palin despises work. She likes easy fame and easy money..like..um..a whore.

I can’t use that word enough to describe Palin. I’m sure you have noticed. I hope it doesn’t offend you.  There really is no other word that works. If the media, both mainstream and not so mainstream, would stop covering her every move, I could stop using that word because I could stop writing about her too. Do you think there is any chance of this happening? I have to say that I did think that shortly after the 2008 election, the media would stop caring about her. But this is where I have to give Palin credit. She knows where she lives. I mean, it isn’t France or Germany or even Canada, it’s the USA, where low brow crap plays and plays big. So she worked them well and they went for it. Couldn’t do it if Americans didn’t eat this shit up, but they do.

In normal nations they don’t get it. Maybe I belong in a normal nation. I can explain it but I don’t really get it either. She is a huge empty shell of a human being. A black hole of a person. There is really nothing there. No heart, no soul, just crass commercialism. In a way that makes her perfect for this country.

You see I didn’t say whore this time.

I’m going to take my own advice now and just shut up.

Immigration reform is a no lose deal for Obama and the Democrats. First of all it’s the right thing to do. It will prevent 5 million people who live and work here, have families here, from being deported. It will also cement the Latino vote in 2016 and the Republicans have little chance of winning without a decent chunk of the Latino vote. As the Republicans complain and talk about impeachment, this will only make Latinos hate them even more than they already do. Any attempt to impeach Obama for something totally lawful and correct, will further destroy Republicans just as the impeachment of Bill Clinton did.

So there really is no downside to Obama acting by executive action on Immigration. As I had mentioned in my last column, the next two years must be executive orders and veto’s and that’s it. There is no negotiating to do with Republicans, not anymore. Been there for six years, done that for six years. You can’t negotiate with neanderthals. They don’t have the brains nor the heart to do what is right for the American people that are not in the top one percent. On the Keystone pipeline Obama must use his veto pen. Obama must show that America will take the lead on global warming. Funny how a party that hasn’t cared one bit about creating jobs, all of a sudden cares about a thousand short term jobs that would lead to about 50 permanent jobs. The over 200,000 jobs that Obama has been creating every month, they won’t talk about of course.

There is nothing more to talk about. Obama must now finish carving his legacy. A legacy that is about taking us out of a recession, ending two wars, finishing Bin Laden, bringing affordable health care to over 10 million people, a stock market that hits record highs daily, gas prices that continue to plummet, cutting the deficit in more than half, and so on and so on and so on.

Republicans will scream and shout, they will have tantrums and curse and threaten. Too damn bad. They have and will continue to misread this past election and overplay their hand. Obama must use this against them and continue to watch the infighting within the Republican party. Let them continue to have to answer impeachment calls from the Tea Party members, let them continue their infighting over this and other issues. Let them fight over shutting down the government. The more resolute he is the more infighting there will be as they try to figure out what to do with this newly defiant President that they are certainly not accustomed to.

I’m cautiously optimistic.  Obama has had these opportunities before and has squandered them. However maybe with Immigration reform, the great climate deal with China, and his recent comments about the Keystone pipeline, we are indeed seeing a new Obama. An Obama that has finally realized what the agenda of the Republican party is and has been since January 20, 2009. They couldn’t prevent him from being elected twice, but they still believe they can control his destiny.

They can do so only if he allows it. He is the President. He has the moral high ground and the law on his side. He has the veto pen. He cannot allow Republicans to hurt this country anymore than they already have. He cannot allow them to destroy all the good he has done and take us back to 2008.

He must forge ahead. All they can do is cry about it. He has all the power. They know it. Let’s hope he does as well.

The post Time for Obama to Declare War….On Republicans appeared first on Madness & Reality.

Americans did elect Republicans, but not just enough to barely give them control of Congress but in a huge wave, no wait, a tsunami, and it wasn’t just the House and the Senate but in Gubernatorial races as well. There will be a Republican governor in Illinois and Maryland!! Watching the coverage of the election returns I could only shake my head at the response from the millionaire pundits. They wanted to “dissect and analyze” the results. “What does this mean?” they questioned. “This is a total repudiation of Obama!” was of course the answer that right wing politicians and “strategists” gave. No wait….”This is just the way it goes for a President in the mid-term of his second term in office.” Just the way it goes.

The answer my loyal readers is obvious, simple. There is no need for hours, days, weeks, months of head scratching and “soul searching.” Americans are simply the dumbest creatures to roam the earth. That’s it. Am I disappointing you? Did you expect something more “high brow?” Andy Borowitz, the brilliant satirist for the New Yorker wrote one of his mock articles and the point was simply that Americans have the memory capacity of a gnat. But is this really the excuse? That they forgot that this was the party that caused the economic collapse that almost put in a depression? That this is the party of war that loved our time in Iraq and wanted more of it? That this is the party that tried and continues to try to take away health care from the millions that have acquired it through Obamacare? Did they really forget that this President has created jobs for over 60 straight months? That the stock market has doubled since he took office? That the deficit has been cut in more than half? That gas prices are lowest in ages, and the same goes for unemployment? That he got us out of two wars, killed Bin Laden, etc etc etc.??

People like the schizophrenic Chris Matthews thinks the people want to see jobs! You see to a guy like Matthews it’s all a game. A political game that has no real meaning in his life because he is rich and famous and will continue to be no matter what happens. Same goes for folks like Chuck Todd, and all of the morons on Fox News. It’s just a game. The real answers are ones they are not willing to give because they would lose their gigs if they did.

Americans are dumb yes, ignorant, yes, can’t remember what happened yesterday (which is I guess why they are dumb and ignorant.) But there is another element to this. Many people are just simply racist and evil. It doesn’t matter what the Republicans did to the country and it surely doesn’t matter what Obama has done to bring us back. This is the revenge of the racists. They knew that blacks (and I will get to you folks in a minute!) weren’t going to vote the way they did when Obama was heading the ticket so this was their chance. No way to negate their racist votes this time! Same goes to the young voters (got yours coming as well!). So they pounced. Seized the moment. They registered their disgust at a black President. Of course not one pundit came anywhere close to talking about this. Watching MSNBC, I knew that Al Sharpton was seething. You could see it on his face. He had every right. Not only had the racists won, but his own people had let him down.

His own people. There is NO WAY IN HELL if Chicago comes out to vote that a Republican is elected Governor there, same goes for Baltimore in Maryland. Both have heavily black populations. So you see, the racists were able to win almost everywhere they wanted. How does it feel? You guys love to talk about marching, and stand your ground, and Trayvon and Mike Brown, and FUCK YOU! And I can say all of this because I VOTED! I can talk down because I now have the right. If you didn’t vote you can just sit there and read this and take it. Same goes for the young voters who don’t think mid-terms are important enough to pull them away from their sexting. Up yours as well!

Then again maybe I’m being a bit harsh. I mean blacks shouldn’t be called upon to be the saviors of racist America time and again. They shouldn’t have to be. A guy like Obama shouldn’t have to rely on those votes to win. Same goes for the Democrats. Not in a normal country anyway. There was a poll that said it all..in the USA there are still 43 percent of the electorate that believes abortion should be illegal. 43 PERCENT! In the year 2014. This shows the evil and ignorance that slithers here. Go find another civilized nation and find out what that number is. If they even need to have such a poll in any normal country.

The evil and ignorance and racism was on full display on election night. The black man must be punished, he must be shown that it was a mistake for him to ever run for office in the first place. We’ll teach him. They were upset they couldn’t literally hang him anymore but hey second best was to figuratively hang him. Hang the Republicans around his neck instead of a rope.

That’s what happened pundits. It wasn’t about policies or politics. There was no “thought process” with the voters. No need to twist things into a hundred different shapes to try and come up with a reasoning. There was however another problem. This one is age old and will probably never change. Democrats are huge gaping pussies. They have zero backbone. They are weak and feckless and disgusting.

Instead of running on the great record of one of the most successful Presidents of all time, running on such little things as record job growth, record stock markets, lowest gas prices in years, lowest unemployment in years and of course that small accomplishment known as Obamacare which gave millions upon millions the option of actually seeing a doctor and going to the hospital without, you know..dying instead. No they not only didn’t even mention any of that stuff but they actually avoided Obama like the plague, like he was George W. Bush! Grimes, that lame ass woman who ran against the rooster head, wouldn’t even say that she had voted for Obama! I mean how feckless can you be?! By the way, most of the female Dem candidates were just as lame and as useless as the male candidates this time around. Hey I have a great idea. I know it’s groundbreaking and all but here it goes…how about we nominate the BEST candidates?! Hey!! What a fucking idea! How about we nominate people like Alan Grayson of Florida, who aren’t afraid to embrace Obama and his policies??

Guess what? He won! In Florida! Guess who also won? Pretty much anyone who didn’t run away from the President. Guess who lost? Everyone who did. Don’t worry though, all of those campaign advisers will still make millions, write books and be fine. Same goes for the candidates. Republicans never seem to have a problem with embracing their leaders and touting their policies but not Democrats. As Will Rogers once said, “I don’t belong to any organized political party, I’m a Democrat.”

What the Democratic candidates did was simple. They ran away from the black man. As though their lives were at stake. As though he had a shank. They were as racist as the ignorant voters. This is another reason why so many Dems stayed home, so many black voters.

So I say this… There is nothing to lose now. Nothing at all. This President needs to give the Republicans and the racist voters what they have been afraid of all along. The angry black man.

He needs to come out with a huge chain of bling around his neck. A huge chain with four letters spelled out as big as possible. V E T O.

Anything less and his great legacy will dissolve into a big puddle of nothingness.

People from other countries, violent third world countries, have come here, to the United States in the past and have asked for asylum. Can I do that now? Can I go to Canada and beg them to let me become a citizen of their great country since my country has become a nation of extreme violence where at any time I can be killed by a right wing scum nut with a gun? Can I? I wanna know!

It happens every day now. Police officers are shot dead in cold blood while they get their lunch. They are shot dead by two lowlife scumbag Tea Party members. They are members of the Republican party as the Tea Party has not separated yet. Has not been told to separate by the “mainstream” Republicans. So therefore they are one and the same. These two individuals were at Bundy Ranch, they hated Obama and anyone on “food stamps.” Sounds very “mainstream” Republican to me.

Brandon & Amanda Miller

They killed two police officers because they thought they were fighting the new “revolution.” They draped an officer’s body in “Don’t Tread On Me” flags. That’s a slogan we hear all of the time from right wingers, who believe that freedom is being poor with guns. So they can fight the awful police and government agencies who want to take their freedoms away. You can see how sick this is. How mentally fucked up these people are, they are psychotics who are running loose in our streets. Murdering our police officers and threatening to do the same to our politicians. Something else we can blame the most awful President of our times, Ronald Reagan for, letting the crazies out of the mental institutions and those crazies were allowed to procreate and now we deal with their evil spawn.

 GLENN BECK MUST BE ARRESTED

 We deal with them on our television sets. Glenn Beck should be arrested. He should be arrested now. In 2010 Beck, one of those crazies I spoke about, told his followers to “Shoot them in the head” regarding the “communists” who want a revolution. Now with the majority of Beck’s audience being psychopathic, that statement is bad enough. But they interpret “communists” in many ways. The police department is communist to them since it is a government run agency that they feel will try to take their guns and freedoms away. It is an agency they must fight. As Beck said, “Shoot them in the head…they might shoot you first.”

Beck is directly, not indirectly responsible for the deaths of those officers. What he said is not covered under freedom of speech as it was a direct order to incite violence and that’s exactly what happened. Beck must be arrested and indicted on conspiracy to commit murder. It must happen now. If not we are saying it is alright to kill police officers, or any other government worker, because they are “communists.” It will happen again if we don’t take action. Arrest Glenn Beck. Arrest him now!

OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING

Of course we also have to deal with these crazies in our schools. One school shooting after another. It has become so commonplace that it’s just a blip on our Twitter or Facebook feeds. The friends of the kids that are killed tweet their R.I.P’s daily. As though they are tweeting “Happy Graduation” or “Happy Birthday.” It is just expected now. Cry for a few minutes then move on. It’s sick and twisted and the NRA loving Republicans and gun nuts just shrug it off. Their solution is to arm all teachers and children with guns. Yes children. The gun nuts post pictures of their three and four year old kids holding guns. I seem them all the time.Those children should be taken away from them.

We are a sick, cancer ridden nation. Republicans want more guns, more anger, more hate. They want to replace their ultra right wing candidates with ultra ultra right wing candidates. Then replace them with ultra ultra ultra right wing candidates. They want to leave our soldiers behind, then call them and their families horrible names when the black President they hate so much brings them home.

They want a revolution that involves not paying taxes, killing cops and having our children afraid to go to school. As a friend pointed out, the police should notice that it is not the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters that kill them, it’s the right wing scum.

We are living in a crazy house that is called the United States of America.

I need to get out of here. So do you.

Yes the Republicans love to talk big. “Support our troops”…”Semper Fi.. do or die..gung ho..gung ho…gung ho!” But when it comes to taking action all they can do is sit back and be Monday morning quarterbacks. Now many Republicans were caught erasing tweets they had sent out before Bergdahl’s return which said they were in favor of doing whatever was necessary to get him back. You see that was before Obama did what they never expected him to do..actually get the dude back. Republicans, since they are the party of do nothing, or do nothing unless it fucks most people over, figured Obama wouldn’t have the balls to actually make the deal to bring Bergdahl home.

But he did exactly that. And now they are against what they were for. Not the first time the ballsy black President has done something they actually wanted, to only bash him once he pulls the trigger. It’s commonplace. It’s not surprising at all. Not surprising because the Republican party couldn’t care less about our troops. They have been using our troops as pawns for decades. They send them to die in needless, useless wars. They destroy families in the name of power and money and greed and oil.

Bob Nergdahl, father od Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl

When the troops come back home all fucked up mentally and physically they cut funding to VA hospitals and know they can just blame the next Democratic President for it. “Never leave a man behind” they shout and pound their bloated chests, yet when the black President brings one home, the last one, they immediately try to destroy the soldiers reputation. Why? To just get back at the black President.

They destroy the soldiers father. Irish big mouthed right wing pricks on television call him “Taliban” because he has a long beard yet those same pricks give a guy like Phil Robertson a pass, because he is just a good American with a long unwashed beard. Old decrepit, senile Senators forget they were just on television saying they were in favor of the soldiers return by any means necessary. But now they are against it because they are fucked up in the head and forget what they just said. But they often do this, even when they were younger. Maybe they were always good for nothing mental midgets.

The Republicans love to “pray” for the troops. Pray for them oh lord! Just don’t let the black President actually bring them home. Let’s keep them in captivity until a good white male Republican is President..like in fifty years if they are lucky. Lip service is all these good for nothing Republican scumbags are actually good for. When they have to take action they shit their pants, and just criticize those who actually take that action.

On issue after issue. Guns. Health care. Veterans rights. Immigration…on and on and on. They are on default mode. Wait for Obama to make his move then attack, attack, attack. Even if it means attacking our troops and their families. Erase those tweets, make up lies about soldiers dying trying to save the guy Obama saved without one lost life, go on Fox News and make shit up!

Republicans are a disgusting lot that grow more and more disgusting by the day. By the event.

To hell with the truth, with facts. Just destroy. Destroy our men and women in war and then continue to destroy them when they get home.

Scum doesn’t get any scummier.

McCain of all people should be championing this. He knows what years in captivity can do your mind, body and spirit. He knows that the people in Gitmo are being held illegally. He knows this but denies it. He claims to be against torture but in the next breath will say that holding human beings illegally is not torture. Yes it is. Those prisoners in Gitmo have as much right to their freedom as Sgt. Bergdahl does. McCain is once again a no good hypocrite, one of rapidly deteriorating mental health as well.

Sarah Palin who had just recently prayed for the quick and safe return of Bergdahl, is now condemning Obama for the swap. Palin has even less worth than McCain. She prays that something will happen even though you and I know she doesn’t believe in shit. However prayer is as far as she goes. When it comes to actually doing something to make that prayer come true she is at a loss. She would praise God but condemn Obama for doing the exact thing she has been praying for. But of course she wouldn’t have any real ideas, or solutions, because she is the quitter from Alaska. She is a soulless, brainless entity that is of no use.

Let’s forget for a moment about the details surrounding the disappearance of Bergdahl. Some are calling him a hero, others a traitor. This is neither here nor there. He is an American who was being held captive by the Taliban and his return is welcome and the right thing to have happened. Once again Obama accomplishes a major foreign affairs issue with little drama and no violence or deaths. Our country wanted him back and he is back. Safe. Ted Cruz said he would have sent forces in to get him. And a hundred American soldier deaths later we might have him back, albeit maybe not in one piece.

If there was to be any criticism coming it certainly can’t be from the same people that had no problem at all with their hero Ronnie Reagan sending deadly weapons to our enemies in return for hostages. Right? I mean this is a no brainer, isn’t it? Thousands of weapons that could in turn kill us and our soldiers swapped for hostages. I mean that is far far worse than just five dudes for one soldier right? Let’s do the math. Oh well most Republicans can’t add so I guess that is out the window!

You really can’t wrap your mind around the hypocrisy. Yet there they are, loud and clear calling Obama a criminal. Saying that what he did was an impeachable act. This is the kind of stuff they are saying. Yes, they fully backed their hero Reagan, the man of their wet dreams (the only kind of wet dreams Republicans can have anyway). But when it comes to that black, socialist, welfare loving, free health care giving President Obama, well then it’s just an outrage!

I will give them some of their own medicine. If you don’t agree with the safe return of an American soldier, you are not a patriot. You are a traitor. You should live somewhere else.

Speaking of that I would like to propose a trade. To the Taliban I send John McCain and Sarah Palin. In return I would like some of your best hummus. I think that’s fair.

Hey, I said I only wanted their best, right?

Now we know that won’t happen, Obama won’t say that. And you know what, neither will I. How about this instead…the Democrats will gladly join in. They will take part into this over two year long political stunt IF and only IF the Republicans agree to start committees to investigate what happened in Beirut, when 241 soldiers were killed under the watch of Ronald Reagan. There was no two year long investigation into that..it just went away. So we need to get to the bottom of that immediately.

The Republicans must then agree to a committee to investigate the Iran-Contra affair. Also known as arms for hostages. Another scandal under Reagan, to which there was an investigation but no high officials including George H.W. Bush were ever held accountable and soon after Bush was elected President. If the Republicans want to try and blame Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State for Benghazi, then we can certainly look into the VP at the time Bush, and his connections to Iran-Contra. This is another case that we never got to the bottom of, the same way the Republicans are convinced we haven’t gotten to the bottom of Benghazi.

Then we need a committee to investigate the reason why 9/11 was allowed to happen. George W. Bush and company received a memo a month before it happened that said “Bin Laden determined to strike inside the United States.” A month later he struck inside the United States and 3,000 Americans were killed. Aside from a few standard hearings we never investigated that either.

When all of those committee’s are formed we must then convene the big one. A committee to investigate the lies that were told which got us into the Iraq war where hundreds of thousands have died and continue to die on an almost daily basis. Weapons of mass destruction..Hussein’s ability to destroy the United States with those weapons, to cause another 9/11…”Mission Accomplished”…the illegal torture of terrorist suspects, etc, etc. I could get into so much more but this is really all for the committee to sift through.

Whenever something positive happens for Obama, be it the millions enrolling in the ACA, great job numbers, stock market up, unemployment down, you name it, the Republicans bring back Benghazi. When there is another poll that shows how Hillary is going to win easily in 2016, there they go again with Benghazi.

But I’m not going to complain anymore. Let’s have that bi-partisan committee, no problem. As long as all of the other committee’s I mentioned are agreed to before hand.

Oh and if you say that stuff was so long ago and we should just get over it, which you (Republicans) love to say, then I have one response.

Fuck you.
