When Is a Joke Not a Joke?

~John Boehner looked at Michele Bachmann and said: "You know,I could throw a $1,000 bill out the window and make somebody very happy."


Michele shrugged her shoulders and answered: "I could throw ten $100 bills and make ten people very happy."


Hearing their exchange,the pilot of the plane said to the co-pilot: "Such big shots back there. I could throw both of them out the window and make 256 million people extremely happy!"~

Pretty funny right? Well, maybe not.

Daily Kos posted a story about Shery Lanford Smith, the chairwoman of the Sumter Tea Party. She posted to her page the following joke. Note the similarities between my joke and hers.

So what makes her joke worse than mine? Because it's about The Presidential couple? Because it's about an African American couple? I think this time  Daily Kos is blowing this WAY out of proportion. 

Enough is Enough!!!!

I have tried my best not to go completely off in my blogging, but tonight I'm throwing caution to the wind and saying Fuck It!


For a long time now this country has been assaulted by the religious right and their campaign to turn this Representative Democracy into a total fucking Theocracy. I, as a conscientious American and reader of the Constitution cannot sit by the way-side and stay politely silent any longer.


The First Amendment of The Constitution Of the United States says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...". Pretty damned cut-n-dry. Then why in the fucking hell can't these right wing theological nut jobs just fucking get it? It's not that damn hard. Fifth graders can understand it!


If you're a sci-fi fan you might have seen the film Escape from L.A.. In that movie the country was in the hands of a Life-Term Religious Zealot President who, among other things, out-lawed any religion other than Christianity. The citizenry of the nation who did not follow the religious mandate were either executed or deported. This is the kind of nation that the Tea Party and the rest of the religious right will, with-out-a-doubt, force on this nation should they continue to gain foot hold after foot hold in our political process. Is that the kind of country you want to live in, for your children to grow up in? I should fucking hope not.


"Oh, that's just a movie. That's not real life. That can't happen here."


It's the "It can't happen here" mentality that we had before Oklahoma City and 9/11. It can, and will happen here if we do not rise up as a free nation and put a stop to the forcing of one religion on the people of this entire nation. 


The founders of this country had the wisdom and fore-thought to keep religion and state separate. Those same founders came from a country where religion and state were one in the same, and did NOT want that in this new nation they were building. It was our ancestors who, after years of religious persecution, fled to the North American continent for the express purpose of religious freedom! Why would we, as a nation, want to revert to a time were if you don't follow the state religion you can be jailed or even killed for believing differently?! WE FUCKING WOULDN'T!


Then why in the fuck do most of us just sit by and continue to let it happen? Why is there not more outrage? For Christ sake, what in the holy hell is wrong with this fucking country?! Yes, I'm swearing. Of coarse I'm swearing, I pissed off at the lack of common sense the American people are showing when it comes to religion.


I'm not anti-religion by any means. I'm a Wiccan, I have faith in my religion. But, I do not go against the Rede and force my religious views on others. To do so would cause harm, something I've found all the religions I've studied teaches against; this includes Christianity. So, why then are these Zealots trying to force their extremist views on the rest of us? More importantly, why in the hell is it being allowed? 


If people like Michele "Bat-shit-crazy" Bachmann or Rick "This country needs Christianity" Perry continue to be elected to office after office, including the Presidency, the old proverb will prove true. Those who do not learn from their history are truly doomed to repeat it. But, this time it is the nation as a whole, that will suffer from the forgetfulness of those too blind to see the mistakes of the past.

Message To The "Tea Party"

     Dear "Tea Party",

     So, you folks like to scream that you are "Constitutional Conservatives", and "God fearing Christians". Well that's all fine and dandy, or it would be if there were any truth to those claims. I've been hearing you people claim to love this country and The Constitution for the last three years, and I'm so damned sick of that line of crap. If you loved this nation even a fraction of what you claim to, there is no way you would be doing the crap you're doing. So, you want to know what I'm talking about?

     Here's an example of the bull you people spew. I have read and heard you folks rant and rave about President Obama's birth certificate. "He's not an American Citizen! He was born in Kenya!" Sound familiar? Well, let me ask you this... How in the hell would he have even been able to run for the office of President if he wasn't born in this country? Do you actually think that he would have been able to produce a forgery so good that the F.B.I would have been fooled by it? Are you people that damned stupidly ignorant?

     Here's another example of your blatant ignorance when it comes to The Constitution. You people are hell bent on making Christian laws the law of the land. THAT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL! The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...". Translation? The Government of the United States shall not officially endorse any religion over another nor shall it hold the nation to one national religion. The Founders of this nation left England because of its national religion in the first place, why in the hell would they want to limit the religious freedoms of the new country they were building? Answer? THEY WOULDN'T! 


     You people also love to call yourselves Christians. Give me a break! There is NOTHING Christ-like about what you people are trying to do to this country. Tell me, where in the Bible did Jesus turn his back on the least among him? Who was it he threw out of the temples? And what was his stance on taxes? Answers: NEVER, THE RICH, an PAY YOUR TAXES! So, why then are you people doing the opposite of what your supposed God told you to do? This is why I call you people pseudo-Christians.


     In closing, you people need to go crawl back into whatever caves you slithered out of, actually read the Bible you claim to live by, and stay the fuck home on election days; you people are too damn clueless to vote.


Sincerely,


Mr Liberal

A Message to America

     With The Fourth of July upon us I would like to thank the Men, Women, and Families of the United Sates Military for all the do and have done from 1775 to today. I would also like to thank our nations teacher's for educating our nation's children, also our nations work force (or what's left of it), and thanks to the countless former American workers for not giving up hope. And, let us not forget every American who has done his or her civic duty by voting in our local, state and national elections.

                  Thank You My Fellow Americans For All You Do To Improve This Nation.

          (Except you teabaggers out there; you're the ones trying to choke the life from this nation.)

Don't ask me where Jose is.

This morning five well armed federal agents decended on my neighborhood. Why where they here; were they looking for drug dealers, rapists, murderers? No. They were looking for an out of work father of three who had committed none of the above crimes. Why? Why were five armed government agents looking for this stay at home dad? The answer is, because he wasn't born in this country.
Jose, not his real name, is an illegal alien. He came to this country looking for a better life, much the same way some of our great great grandparents did. He doesn't have a Green Card, but neither did our ancestors. This, and this alone, is his only crime.
Jose keeps to himself mostly, spending his time raising three adorable kids who are always laughing. Every other weekend he'll have friends over and spend the afternoon playing mariachi music, and they're pretty damn good.
So why are our tax dollars being spent to hunt down a loving husband and father? It's not like Jose and his family don't pay into the tax system. His wife works for a well known poultry producer in NW Arkansas and pays income taxes, not to mention the sales taxes they pay when the spend that taxed income. So why then is Jose being treated like a criminal?
The reason is sickening and simple; he wasn't born here. And, it is that one fact that scares the hell out of "Real Americans".
People say illegal immigrants steal jobs from those of us who were born here. Bull s***! These hard working people do the jobs that we don't want. They mow our yards, clean our pools, pick our fruit, build our homes, etc. I haven't had a single one of those jobs stolen from me; I don't want them.
So when one of the armed agents asked me where Jose was I answered, "I don't know." It was true enough. I didn't know exactly where Jose was. I just refused to share that with the ICE agent. And if the agents come back and ask me again they'll get the same answer whether I know or not.
"I don't know."

Self Proclaimed Tea Party Member Asks How To Kill The President, Defile His Body

We've all seen signs at Tea Party rallies calling for President Obama to go back to Kenya (though he's proven that he is an American), and calling him Hitler. Some members of the tea Party even go so far as to call the President of the United States of America hateful, harmful, evil derogatory remarks and slurs. Well, now we can officially add death threats to the list of horrid things Tea Party member say.

Greg W. Howard, a Right Wing Blogger, tweeted something extremely hateful and unpatriotic on May 1st. He tweeted,

@GregWHowardGreg Howard

Poll. Hang Obama's body from Lady Liberty? Ground Zero? Or grave to be used as outdoor latrine? #tcot #p2 #ocra#sgp #tlot #phnm #teaparty

Now, I don't know about you folks, but this looks like a death threat to me. This is how low some members of the Tea Party will go in their unflinching hatred for all things Liberal. I want to know how something like this can even be legally covered by the First Amendment. I thought any threat made to the President, valid or plausible was a federal offence. (Please join me in reporting this wing-nut to the Secret Service)

Mister Greg W. Howard isn't the only Tea Party member going this far; some have gone even further. I posted my first blog on the racism shown in sections of the Tea Party. In that blog I gave a link to www.viletweets.com. The people over at viletweets.com search twitter day and night to show just how sick and twisted some members of the Tea Party can be. This post by Mister Greg W. Howard is just one of the worst.

It's no wonder the Tea Party tries like hell to state they aren't racists, they are afraid that people will come across members like Mister Greg W. Howard, and tarnish their reputation. Don't be fooled folks, this highly un-American sentiment runs deep in the Tea Party. Go to viletweets.com, click on the link below to see this tweet for yourself, just don't by it when the Tea Party claims to be patriotic. It's far from it.

Is the Tea Party Full of Racists?

Many people in the Republican and Tea Party will tell you that racist are few and far between inside their organisations. Well, thats a big steaming load of bull shit! If you watch the news (Fox News is not news), you've probably seen a few of their state politicians caught saying some really nasty shit. Well, its not just the people that are elected that are spouting this racist shit. At viletweets.com you can see for yourself just how many of these teabaggers have a racist streak a country mile wide. I'd quote a few, but to be honest, even I'm not that vulgar.

Until next time my friends.
