No War But the Class War

Reaganomics Class Warfare Trickle Down Image

While Economic Royalists, their Republican and DINO operatives in government and their corporate-cover propaganda outlets, fan racist flames to keep the people divided against themselves, some in media are finally starting to talk about the class war Republicans have been waging against working people since Reaganomics inflicted it’s supply-side, trickle-down, disaster on a once-vibrant middle class.

Shirley Sherrod gave voice to it when she noted in her speech to the NAACP that the conversation the nation needs to have was not about “black versus white” or “white versus black” but “rich versus poor.”

The Republican response to the utterance of this truth was to take her speech calling for unity among working people and heavily edit it to ensure racism maintains it’s fresh, painful and divisive utility.  An actual, mature, conversation about class and race in America is considered blasphemy in world where wedge issues are vital to keeping people angry, distracted and misinformed enough to vote for their own demise.

Simply put, Republicans care only for their wealthy benefactors who sent them to Washington to make government, as FDR said, “an appendage to their own affairs,” ensuring that they can continue to ride your back to the bank without the “pesky” interference from the only institution powerful enough to slow them down – our Constitutionally-limited, democratically-elected, representative government of “We The People.”

Karl Rove Thrives In Our Corrupted Government

Karl Rove Citizens United Image

Thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizen’s United ruling, the Corporate takeover of our government is complete and Karl Rove can now openly solicit massive contributions to his cause of getting his pudgy fingers on the neck of power in the name of our big-moneyed “betters.”

From Rawstory :
By David Edwards

A recent Supreme Court decision hailed by Republicans but condemned by most Democrats may be helping to stuff the coffers of conservative political groups founded by Karl Rove.

President George W. Bush’s former senior adviser admitted to Fox News Tuesday that his American Crossroads 527 and Crossroads GPS groups have benefited from the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.

The Republican National Committee actually lost money in 2009 but Rove doesn’t think his groups are part of the problem. The party ended the year with $10 million fewer dollars than at the start of the year.

Boehner Lets Slip Again the Repug Disdain for the Other 98%

House Repug Leader John Boehner Details GOP Plan for the Other 98% Image

One doesn’t have to stretch their imagination too far to glimpse the Republican vision for the future – just turn back the clock to the “gilded age” where super-rich robber barons ran government and lived in opulence while lording mercilessly over the common people.

Don’t take my word for it… take if from the Republicans themselves.  In spite of Republican Pollster Frank Luntz’s directive for Republicans to stay on their fake populist message in an effort to convince Teatards that “freedom” equals the “freedom” of transnational corporations to ride you to the bank unfettered by pesky government, the compulsively pro-corporate, GOP class war agenda can’t help but sometimes slip from their well-fed GOP mouths.

From Joe Barton’s apology to corporate felon BP, to Sharron Angle’s view that unemployment benefits are ‘spoiling’ the lazy citizenry, the GOP staffers are keeping busy desperately releasing retractions every time one of these out-of-touch bastards comes out of their gated communities to spit in the face of the late, great, middle class, destroyed by 30 years of Reaganomics.

This latest example is the orange-hued House Republican Leader John Boehner, who, like all rich GOP bastards, went to bat for his true masters – the rich and their giant corporations, by saying financial reform is like attacking an “ant” with a nuclear weapon. I guess he would have a point if that “ant” was capable of destroying 8 million jobs and collapsing the world economy.

Real Financial Reform Too Hard? Declare Victory & Go Home

Wall Street Reform Pleases Our Wall Street Masters

Its no surprise that bank stocks rose when so-called financial reform passed just like health insurance racket stocks rose on the passage of so-called health insurance reform.  The wheels of government turn only to ensure that the wealthy top 1% can ride the rest of us to the bank unrestrained by considerations other than profit.

In 1901 Teddy Roosevelt said in his New Nationalism speech,

“The absence of effective State, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need to is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which it is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise.”
Read the rest of the speech here.

Yes, Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican… a progressive Republican…  who knew the stranglehold and corruptive influence a small handful of wealthy Oligarchs could have on a free people.

I’m certain, though, that he could never have imagined a Supreme Court ruling that Corporations are People who can pour unrestricted wealth into elections, as well as allowing wealthy individuals to spend their personal fortunes to obtain seats in government.

The passage of this financial reform bill is nothing but window dressing that gives the illusion of “change” while keeping the most dangerous parts of the financial system in place.

Vague Generalities and Empty Rhetoric We Can Believe In

Wait for it... wait for it.... America's energy plan is... Let Us Pray Image

President Obama’s feckless speech to the nation was proof positive that America, like the sea life washing up on the shores of the Gulf, is nothing but a carcass from which corporate vultures pick and discard.

At one time I was convinced if anyone could restore the middle class after the 30-year assault of Reaganomics, it was a Barack Obama – man of color who was able to overcome all obstacles to become President in this arrogantly ignorant, sophomoric and racist nation.

If he was clever enough to accomplish that feat, I concluded, he could certainly out maneuver the economic royalists who have our government co-opted as an appendage to their own affairs.

Like many others, I was hoping that Obama’s first Oval Office address to the nation was going to be a turning point where the President would finally deliver the campaign promises of “change we can believe in.”

What we got, instead, was a useless display of what Dan Froomkin called, “vague generalities and empty, convictionless rhetoric” regarding a catastrophic national emergency that requires actual solutions.    It evident that waiting for  President Obama to discard his Democrat-in-Name-Only advisers like Rahm Emmanuel and become this generation’s FDR is like Waiting for Godot.”

Repug Deficit Hawks Disappear When Ensuring Wealthy Heirs Pay ZERO Taxes

The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Poorer thanks to Republicans Image

It’s a well-known Republican dirty trick that when they are in power, they spend like drunken sailors on shore leave to give the Sheeple the illusion of prosperity while they stagnate their wages and send their jobs to China.  Republican Deficit hawks only appear during Democratic administrations when they need to justify their attempts to dismantle our social safety net and privatize every New Deal initiative that created the American Middle Class (making them too “uppity” for Republicans).   When it comes to refusing to extend unemployment benefits or putting an end to jobs programs and health insurance subsidies for laid-off workers, phoney Republican Deficit hawks appear like flying monkeys out of the Land of Oz.

Only when it comes to carrying water for the wealthy and entrenching an inter-generational aristocracy in America do concerns about the deficit go the way of their concerns about a child’s school-lunch program as their recent obstructionist move to allow one-quarter of 1 percent of people to inherit their parent’s wealth tax-free demonstrates.

Corporate Greed Put The American Dream on Endangered Species List

Corporate Vulture Triumphs Over Brown Pelican Image

If the BP oil disaster highlights anything, it is that the American People are at the mercy of a Corporate Bankster class with no allegiance to either country, community or democracy. They are what FDR called, “Economic Royalists.” They are vested in selling the dumb Serfs myths about “freedom” while forcing misinformation and division into the public discourse through their media outlets. All the while making sure, with the help of Republican and Democrat in Name Only operatives in government, that the late, great, middle class is too tired from working 3 “uniquely American” jobs to get out in the street and take back their seat at the table.  Greed is their highest value and everything else can go the way of the Brown Pelican if it stands in the way of rapacious profit. Even our Mother Earth herself does not warrant a modicum of respect against these corporate bastards and their greed, so how much less does that pesky American worker fare in such a business model?

Obama Asks Greed-Centered Sociopaths to Play Nice with the Plebs (For Once)

Obama Kisses Wall Streets Ass Image

Sigh…  If only Barack Obama was ¼ of the Socialist our corporate overlords and their Republican operatives in government are busy convincing the Teatards he is.  Unfortunately for those of us in the reality-based community (non-Republicans/normal people) he is, like Bill Clinton, a moderate Republican to the right of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In the face of the second collapse of Capitalism within a century, we are forced again to try and regulate the greed-centered sociopaths whose allegiances lay not in country or community – but to themselves and the unholy dollar.

It is a testament to the depth of corruption of these big-moneyed interests in our so-called government of “We The People,” that President Obama was forced to tip-toe lightly into the presence of criminals who have raped and pillaged the country to ask them politely to play nice with the dumb Serfs from now on.

Glenn Beck Could Give a Flying Crap About the Political Process

Glenn beck is in it for the money Image

…he’s in it for the Money

The Buddha said, “An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.”

What’s worse than the woefully misinformed Teabaggers taking their programmed ignorance to the streets to rail against the social safety net many of them rely on to live, is their de-facto high priest of histrionics, Glenn Beck, who has now openly admitted to Forbes magazine that his campaign to cultivate fear and incite civil unrest is motivated purely by his sociopathic quest for the unholy dollar.

A Forbes profile and cover story by Lacey Rose breaks down $32 million that Beck’s “Brand” brought in last year – with the least of his cash-cows being his Faux News program where his “average-Joe” mouth-breathing followers gather to get their marching orders on what “cause” their corporate and economic masters expect them to rally to next.

“I could give a flying crap about the political process.” Beck boasted.

How unfortunate for normal people (non-Republicans) that creating a world that works for ALL socio-economic classes isn’t as pathologically profitable as running cover for the economic elite while they are busy turning “The Land of the Free” into “The United States of Serfs and Lords.”

Millionaire Republican Lifts Hold on Unemployment Benefits – Class War Continues

Millionaire Republican Senator Jim Bunning gives Victims of Reopublican Recession the One Finger Salute Image

Kentucky Millionaire Senator Jim Bunning hold on extending unemployment benefits has been lifted.

This General in the Class War against the Middle Class expressed his disdain and apathy for millions of Americans unfortunate enough to be living in a time when ensuring the profit of the top one percent is the only concern for Republican and Democrat in Name Only legislators, by putting a hold on unemployment benefits extension claiming that his objection had to do with the deficit.

Of course, normal people (non-Republicans) know that to call a Republican a hypocrite is to be redundant… still let me point out the NUMEROUS other middle-class DESTROYING policies which were deficit funded that Bunning had no problem supporting – such as, the 2008 war supplemental, 2001 Bush Tax cuts for the rich, 2003 Bush tax cuts for the rich and 2003 Bush giveaway to Big Pharma.  In addition, Bunning (a millionaire who’s only concern when stopping the extension of benefits was his missing a basketball game), voted against “pay-go” which would have ensured that EVERYTHING was paid for rather than added to the deficit, thus proving once again that Republicans exist solely to ingratiate themselves and their wealthy benefactors, confident that the “average” people who support them at the risk of their own demise will be lulled into an ignorant amnesia by Corporate America’s protection racket – Fox News and Glenn Beck.
