rich people want peasants killing each other

That about sums it up. I keep trying to beat this through people's thick skulls, but those powerful families control all the propaganda apparatus and know how to keep us focused on the small potatoes in front of us. It takes a bit of education, and a willingness to pull ones head out of ones ass to develop the scope of vision, to recognize this shit. It's really not hard to understand, though. It really isn't. And once you understand, you can start to see how to fix it.

Remember when criticizing the President was treason?

Yep, the Fox Puppet talking points flip-flopped 180 degrees on Jan 21, 2009 - right after the black guy was sworn in. Suddenly criticizing the President went from "treason" to "patriotism."

Bit like "We've always been at war with Oceania." Orwell warned us, he just didn't realize how big the use of the private sector, or privatization of resources, would be used to hide the real truth.

It was 2003 when the Dixie Chicks - one of the super-massive popular bands in Country music - threw out one random comment critical of President Bush's unwarranted invasion of Iraq after Saddam Hussein and nothing to do with September 11, 2001.  Immediately, the hate campaign against them began, and they became the poster children for what happens to anyone who fails to toe-the-line of the GOP.

Pay attention children: Hate Speech has Consequences

As we try to teach our children - you can make choices, but there are consequences associated with those choices.

We try to teach children to be responsible - to own up for what they do, and not lie about it later.

Hate speech has consequences - anyone who says "So and so should die!" must be an adult and accept appropriate responsibility when people act on those words, and commit acts of violence.

Hey, you know, if you want to be the dumbfuck Fox Puppet, knock yourself out.

Please.

Seriously - it will make it easier for us adults to get work done, without your dumbfuckery getting in our way.

How to build an rwNJ meme

- some premise that a fourth-grader thinks makes no sense;

- liberals, minorities,women, whatever, get hurt!

Laugh a minute fun

rwNJ - I choose my language carefully

I'm going to use the spelling "rwNJ" (Right-Wing Nut-Job) to emphasize that I don't use it casually, and I don't mean "conservatives," "Republicans" or even "general assholes," when I use it.

I mean NutJobs who even my conservative friends might say "He's a bit off," and have found a foxhole in right-wing philosophy and buried themselves in it.

An Open Letter to the Zionists and Rothchilds

I was reviewing the reports, and you've fallen behind schedule. It's only a little slippage, but we did have a deal.

My 50th birthday. That was the plan. You people pull it all together, and the world is my oyster for my 50th. I get a nice grand celebration, we have my massive coronation and reveal, and my 50-year reign as ultimate benevolent demagogue begins.

You're running a year behind schedule people. Now, a year isn't much yet, and this is a great time to tighten things up and pull it back in. So, let's get on that, chop-chop!

Speaking of "chop-chop," I'll refer you to sections 37 and 38 of the contracts. Section 37 details financial penalties. Section 38 refers to swords and other sharp objects as instruments of punishment.

It's coming on fast. Let's get this done.

On a serious note, I recognize there are some very old families, with vast amounts of wealth, that have had enormous influence throughout history.  But, I just don't buy into the conspiracy theories of all the things these people are supposed to be behind.  Not that they aren't power brokers, with wealth and influence almost beyond measure, but if they were really that all-powerful, there wouldn't be any conspiracy theorists alive to point it out.

Death cults come and go, but weather is forever.

No, seriously. Planes, tanks, bombs, and Fox Propaganda can combat (or create) death cults, but a melted ice sheet fucks with humanity and planes, tanks, bombs, and "there ain't no weather problems" (my ass) Fox Propaganda cannot do shit to stop rising sea levels, loss of coastal regions, or devastating hurricanes.

So, yeah, the President Of The United States of America is taking the long view on national security. That's called Being Presidential. It's nice that someone is doing it.

Fucking Fox Puppet meme-making morons.

Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016

Happy New Year!

What more needs to be said?

Yeah, fine, that was weak.  :-)   Well, okay, let's see...

When I launched this blog in September, 2014, I had no idea how serious I was, or where I wanted to go with it. In 2015, I found my voice (and my principles), and have been happily ranting all year long.

I did 230 posts in 2015, on this blog. That's a nice big number.

Note, I've got two sister blogs - Church of the Ignorant Fool and You Decide If You Care - so my 2015 blog post total is way over  300 :-)

I connected with a ton of brilliant and wonderful people! I love you all.

That's about what I want to say for now. Thank you for reading my posts, thank you for sharing them (to infect others with my madness, or to bludgeon them with my words when you feel I've said what you think, and you don't want to have to type it all out again).

Let's make this the best year yet!
