Middle Class Populist

Earlier today CEO’s of the big three came to the capital each in their private jet to say how they are going to cost trim. Isn’t it amazing that companies and even motivational guru’s can praise concepts like “Kaizen” or “CANEI” where worker groups are encouraged to create “profitable innovations” then be compensated merely by praise instead of money while corporate heads can be compensated with millions and fly in private jets to Congress to request billions for their mismanagement! Maybe we should do the opposite! Maybe that is why they are in the situation they are now because the real “ATLAS SHRUGGED”!

I believe the auto companies need to first go into bankruptcy with their chief executives fired! THEN our nation can intervene with a printing press cash infusion that would be reciprocated with both a contract to reform and a share of their corporate stocks. These stocks could latter be sold to generate a profit for our society that risked this investment!

I do not believe America should go into debt for the effete snobs of corporate America when we have pressing needs for Universal Health Care and funding for Alternative Fuel Research and Development. Tonight I heard Mitt Romney saying that the big three American Automakers need to become “competitive”. If I heard Barrack Obama state that I would agree. But when I hear Mitt Romney say the word “competitive”, I get a shiver up my spine.

When Republicans say “competitive” what they really mean is that employees should reduce their salaries to that of third world countries. Yes there will be the need for the UAW Union to compromise but I reject a bailout that would include a substantial lowering of wages and/or the movement of auto manufacturing off shore. What then is the purpose if the big three auto companies decide to renounce their American identity! Why should we bail them out!

Now that the American auto industry has followed Rush Limbaugh and manufactured these dinosaur cars called “SUVs” why aren’t the Republicans willing to help them. After all if you listen to Rush Limbaugh you would think that driving an SUV is a patriotic act!

President - Elect Barrack Obama has stated he would like to see the auto industry become the leaders in “Green Technology” and have America take the lead in selling fuel efficient cars to the world! I agree! Instead of shipping American jobs overseas we should ship cars instead. But I also believe there is another marketing niche that the American auto industry is ignoring.

One Indian company is making a small non-frills “starter” car that they hope to flood the Indian market with. In the third world there is an emerging middle class and a “proto middle class” that is financially above poverty but not quite ready to be called “middle class”. These folks would love to be able to buy a car but they need a “no frills” type car that has manual transmission, no radio or a/c. They cannot afford a regular car but do want to own a car. True this would not sell in the United States but this is the only type of car that some could afford currently in the Third World. This class of consumer is above poverty but not quite middle class. We should not surrender this marketing niche to foreign Automakers!

Finally since the UAW is going to have to give some concessions I would suggest: the auto companies give them stock in lieu of pay increases and they have some quota of representatives on the corporate board of directors!

Hey isn’t that why George Bush wanted to allow younger workers to opt out of Social Security deductions for a private investment accounts so they would “identify” with the ruling class! Well forcing the big three auto makers to give their union workers stock and a quota of representatives on their board is better than the ‘praise compensation” of CANEI or “Kaizen”! If the new executives of the big three auto firms along with executives of welfare recipient AIG do well then instead of being compensated with money we can use their CANEI or Kaizen method and simply call a company meeting and give them “praise”. Hey that is the way to “motivate” them right? Well why treat workers to that and not executives!

The Middle Class has had enough of these effete snobs of privilege!

Isn’t amazing that we can bail out AIG with the cost going up between 110 to 150 billion yet we cannot afford 75 - 100 billion per year for Universal Health Care! AIG screwed me when I worked for them. We lived in fear each year near the holidays that we would be subject to “re-org”! Sometimes they would then offer us a position as a “PERMANENT TEMP”. This would reset the pension clock if we were taken back. When I worked there they had an entire division of “AIG TEMPS” who worked full time permanently! This relieved AIG of paying them a pension and vacation time. Hell they did this so as not to pay external temp contracter companies. Nothing wrong with that but not when these employees are really full time PERMANENT TEMPS!

Yes there are valid needs for temps but those people really work seasonally not as a permanent subclass without health care, pension or vacation. Then there was “good ole Hank Greenberg”! Well he wasn’t known by the name “Hank” when I was there. His name is “Maurice Richard Greenberg” or as he would sign every company memo “MR Greenberg”! When I finally left AIG to take a civil service job I had a small pension but five years letter they sent me a smaller check for $1,600 and terminated my pension.

Oh yes this is the company that had as one of it’s divisions “Socialist Countries”. They had no problem investing in the enemies of America. But they did have a problem giving honest Americans employment as computer programmers! You know the employment category that is supposed to be the fall back for auto workers and other displaced workers once they “buckle down” and study! Read what the “Programmers Guild” has to say about AIG and how they took in foreign computer workers just so they could fire their higher paid American programmers.

Then these idiots have the audacity to give their executives bonuses after we bail them out! AIG is a classic example how the Middle Class is being screwed by the corporate elite and their “wealth redistribution program” from the middle class to the effete snobs of the corporate elite!

Might I suggest that instead of worrying about our “social betters” with their bloated “sense of entitlement”, every AIG employee should be given a calendar with “good ole Hank Greenberg’s” picture on it! The calendar would then list the day in the year when the AIG employee’s total compensation would equal the total compensation that the executives and good ole “Hank Greenberg” made on just the first working day of the year! I bet the end of the year would come and AIG employees would still not reach that point!

There is a new consciousness in America! It was predicted in part by the old hippie era book, “The Greening Of America” when it mentions “Consciousness III”! It is sweeping America with the recent election. It is “Middle Class Consciousness! Americans are now asking themselves, “Why are only corporations allowed to pursue their self interest”?

• Hey it’s not like these fat cats actually EARNED their money!
• What contribution did these AIG executives or any of the top 5% do to earn such money?
• Did they work harder than you or me?

No one is trying to stop folks from becoming millionaires. But isn’t it amazing that in Western and Northern Europe where they have semi-socialism they still have millionaires and even multi-billionaires! What is not tolerated in Europe is the bloated “sense of entitlement”! Like Europe, we simply cannot afford this bleeding heart syndrome for the effete snobs of privilege anymore! As Senator Joe Biden has said, “It is time to be PATRIOTIC, time to be part of the solution”! I agree 100%. Hey it’s not like they EARNED IT! Sure they work hard but so do you dear reader! So do I! Fine someone makes two three even four times more than you but what did the executives of AIG do to earn such money.

Let me ask you a rhetorical question!

Would you support giving every African American a check for $50,000.00 in lieu of the uncompensated work their ancestors did while slaves? Well the idea is understandable but most Americans would correctly say “sorry no”. What work their ancestors did does not count, it is the work you do today! The individual must EARN his money. Fine then can you tell me why Cindy McCain has inherited near 88 Million dollars! Seems the over compensated work her ancestor did is still paying off today! No I am not against passing on an inheritance! The issue is priorities and fairness in a FREE SOCIETY! The issue is her opposition to pay a little extra in taxes so the rest of us can have Universal Health Care. It’s not like she earned it for God’s sake! We need employment where we don’t compete against foreign slave wages! Americans need UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE! The silent majority just does not have the time to pity our “social betters” with their bloated “SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT”! 

That is why we have the progressive income tax! It’s just reality checking in! Not to mention that after AIG earned corporate profits from their “Socialist Countries Division” it is just time to be well “PATRIOTIC”. Three cheers for Vice President - Elect Joe Biden!

The Silent Majority has had enough!

AIG GO TO HELL!

Well it is one week after the election and the future of America is looking up! I am happy as heck but never believed this would happen. The time has come to roll back the evils of the Bush era! Hell let’s not only roll back the Bush tax cuts but the Reagan tax cuts also! I love the bull that the bleeding hearts of the Republican Party whine on the news media! They whine that we Democrats want to engage in a “Wealth Redistribution Program. Excuse me that is what has been going on since Bush took office!

<Enjoy the Video above and show it to your Republican friends they will hate you for it!>

The Middle Class has seen it’s wealth and job opportunities exported to the Third World while the Upper Class reaps the profits. First it was blue collar jobs. But that wasn’t enough for them! Many like myself studied computer science with the hopes of achieving a better life. Then corporate America introduced the H1-b Visa program to fill the few remaining high tech jobs with cheap foreign workers who must fear for the good will of their employers. Is it any wonder many college students don’t see the point in taking a computer curriculum? What is the INCENTIVE? The “Wall Street Journal” last year in March stated that accounting, bio tech, financial analyst and other white collar jobs will follow! Apparently to earn a living you must secure it from your portfolio or corporate executive job. Blue collar and yes even white collar jobs are for the under class in the Republican scheme of things! Yes the very folks who whine about innovation and incentive being hampered by government intervention have no problem with orchestrating government intervention to destroy the carrer hopes of many college graduates. Then they wonder why “Atlas Shrugged”!

Well there is a new dawn arising in America! “MIDDLE CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS”! We allow the MYTH that some should make millions per year in order to enhance creativity and motivation! But at the same time we must ask ourselves:

• Why should a corporate executive make millions per year”?
• What contribution to society is he making?
• Did he or she create a cure for canceer?
• What contribution did Mrs. McCain make to society when she inherited $88 Million while her fellow travelers try to deny middle class Americans universal health care and some type of employment security!

No one wants to stop incentives and innovation but there needs to be a balance. That is why progressive taxation is so important! Today I heard Rush Limbaugh ask a caller how much money she wants to make. She said $200,000.00 per year. Rush then told her she is then at the limit of the American Dream under Barrack Obama! Really Rush?

Isn’t it amazing that in Northern and Western Europe where they have socialism they still have millionaires and yes even multi-billionaires! So Rush Limbaugh should stop his whining! Hey it isn’t like they ACTUALLY WORKED FOR IT! <Wow can you believe I said that>

I don not begrudge Cindy McCain her $88 Million that she never worked for but just inherited! But the time has come in this nation when the SILENT MAJORITY, those of us who have to work for a living, and yes even fear that this can be taken away from us, demand equal treatment and a government that is responsive to our needs!

Believe me if just working alone was a guarantee of success then the corporate top 5% would not have K-STREET pushing for “government intervention” to serve their agenda! This election has demonstrated that the SILENT MAJORITY wants Universal Health care rather than welfare for the rich! Sure it’s ok to be a millionaire but what about me is the new mantra of the middle class!

We cannot get involved in the compensation for every job title. Let the market do that. But tax time is time for a check in with REALITY! No ne wants to stop folks from being millionaires! But the middle class has been the victim of the Republican Wealth Redistribution Scheme for too long. More and more Americans are starting to see this! I know the video below has got to be a joke but I think there is some truth in it. You can always hope. Anyway I am feeling giddy afterr the election victory so enjoy have a laugh!

I know several conservatives who took a beating in the stock market and said they voted for Barrack Obama because he will bring stability to the market even if they have to pay higher taxes! The economy may make even Klansmen think! More and more Americans, while not trying to stop anyone from being a millionaire or hamper creative innovation, do wonder what many in the upper five percent actually do to be compensated to such a great degree over the average American.

Like it’s not that most of these upper 5% ACTUALLY EARNED THE COMPENSATION THEY RECEIVE!

Sure they work but do they do so one hundred times more than you or me? I don’t think so! Barrack Obama needs to be the Pontifex Maximus for the new era. He must not merely act as a reverse George Bush but become the “Philosopher - President” like FDR and JFK! I We need to bring “European Innovations” to America! The first was “Social Security”. Can you imagine if George Bush had his way when he wanted to allow younger workers to switch to private investment accounts? First the drain on a smaller base for Social Security. Then the stock market disaster! Bush wanted to make more people “identify” with the upper class. Hell most of us already have stocks yet that doesn’t change the fact that if you loose your job your stocks will be gone soon. Barrack Obama needs to help the average American acquire more MIDDLE CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS!

You can feel the fear in the Republicans!

ISN’T IT WONDERFUL!

HELL YES!

God can you imagine the Republican reaction if the news media suppressed information about Barrack Obama being associated with an African - American Independence movement? Yet where is the Democratic Party outrage as the news media suppress the connection between Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party! This rabid group of secessionists wants to pluck a star from the flag of our nation! Yet the news media marches like lame little wimps afraid to say anything after they asked poor Sarah Palin a “trick” question. “What is your opinion of the Bush Doctrine”!

The video above gives excerpts of Governor Sarah Palin’s speech to the Alaskan Independence Party that she made THIS YEAR! The video also gives excellent background information.

Many will try to pooh pooh the connection between Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party by stating that the AIP has retracted she was a member! Also her voter registration records confirm this. Well it turns out she was not a formal member but she did attend their meetings and THIS YEAR actually video addressed these rebels from her office as Governor! You can click here and see the full video on the Alaskan Independence Party Website!

Let’s review the facts:

1. She spoke to their convention this year and praised them. God imagine if Barrack Obama did the same for a Black separatist group! Again the video can be found on the Alaskan Independence Party website itself which I will repeat here!
2. While the AIP retracts that she was a formal member none the less on their website (different page than the above) they state that she physically attended their convention in 2006, gave a video speach in 2008 and her husband was a FORMAL member of the Alaskan Independence Party!

Can you imagine if this had been Barrack Obama? Where is the outrage? Where the hell is the news media?

In the video above Keith Olbermann really sticks to Sarah Palin not just for her connection to the Alaskan Independance Party but also for her minister pals. Jack Caferty and Chris Matthews have mentioned her linkage to the AIP. But you hardly hear this talked about compared to the orgy of coverage concerning Ayers and Obama! Maybe Senator Obama doesn’t want to raise the issue as he is leading anyway and the public does not like negative ads. But you would think some Democratic Senator would have the guts to stand up make this public especially since she is clothing herself in the American Flag! Oh yes and $150,000 dollars for her wardrobe! Does the news media need the Democrats to act first! Perhaps this is a contest to see who can be the biggest WIMPS - News Media or leading Democrats!

(George Bush - Our Commander - In Chief! The above video explains his spectacular military record! )

Where the hell is Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid on this if Barrack Obama wants to play the high road! But then what can you expect from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid they let Bush go on as Commander - In - Chief when he should be called “Deserter In Chief”! (See the video above)

This Tuesday let’s take our country back from these effete snobs of the Republican Party!

The time has come for the Silent Majority to stand up for America!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN!

Well the wicked witch of the north is alive and well! It seems Sarah Palin received the “laying on of hands” from a preacher who back in his home country of Kenya drove some poor old woman out of her home for being a witch. This comes from the respected Christian Science Monitor! Here in America we have more sophisticated ways to drive the elderly from their homes! We do it with it with predatory lending institutions!

Let’s be clear here! The issue is not Sarah Palin’s Pentecostalism! The issue on this Halloween is terrorism against an alternative religion - Wicca! If someone can associate intimately with such a preacher who did more than talk but walked the wicked walk and Sarah Palin wanted his prayers and blessings, then what are we to conclude concerning how she would govern America! Oh yes the preacher also prayed that she be protected from witchcraft! I guess that protection also extends to protection from the news media as they seem to not press this or the issue of her affiliation with the Alaskan Independence Party! But then again for protection from the news media she always has John McCain at her side when she is being interviewed. She appears as a naughty girl in the principal’s office with her daddy to protect her!

<The above video is provided by Bruce Wilson utilizing http://www.vimeo.com/>

We have had an earful of Pastor Wright now let’s see Sarah Palin’s church. If you don’t want to watch the whole video just watch the early part and the end where she talks about Pastor Muthee! This is the guy who did the prayer thing for Gov. Palin!

In the video above Sarah Palin encounters a heckler who questions her concerning her connections to the Alaskan Independence Party! They give this poor guy the “Salem” treatment. Maybe Sarah Palin is just trying to drive the devil out of this town!

Is this the way she views a questioning attitude? Seems the news media is already cow towing to her!

1. Why are they not raising the issue of her taking an exorcism from witchcraft from some one who persecuted an elderly lady for witchcraft in Kenya?! Oh maybe that is the new Republican Health Care for the elderly?
2. Why don’t they raise the issue of the man in the video above who was harassed by Sarah’s buddies at her rally!

Where is the News Media? Perhaps they have been “exorcised”!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN THIS TUESDAY!

John McCain has demonstrated that he also does not understand the “Bush Doctrine”. Telling the whole world our intentions assists the military deterrence of the Bush Doctrine! Both the Monroe and Bush doctrines receive their power if a contingency is being made public by the US Government and we have the capacity to follow through!  If a foreign power does X we will respond with military action! In the case of the Monroe Doctrine if a nation involves itself in the western hemisphere we will attack! This is public knowledge and the fact that it is public is what gives the doctrine its deterrent capability! With the “Bush Doctrine” if a nation is preparing to harm us or allows others to use their territory to harm us then we will attack first. Again this contingency is only potent if an adversary knows we will attack and that we have the capacity to attack! Obama understands this and that is why he made his statement about using force in Pakistan against Al Qaeda targets if the Pakistani’s don’t take action first against Bin Ladin.

In the video above John McCain shows he understands the Bush Doctrine then in that he states before the Iraqi War we will attack. No problem here with “telegraphing” your intention! Why then does he criticize Barrack Obama when Obama stated he would attack Al Qaeda inside Pakistan if the Pakistani Government was unwilling or unable? The whole premise of the Bush Doctrine is that the potential adversary knows up front and in public that we will launch a pre-emptive strike! John McCain does not understand the Bush Doctrine! Actually McCain wants to repeat the “misapplication” of the Bush Doctrine. By closing our eyes to the growing threat of the Al Qaeda Homeland on the Pakistanni - Afghan border and instead continueing to focus on Iraq he is undermining the Bush Doctrine!

Again I actually AGREE with the Bush Doctrine! I disagree with the wrongful use of it! Let me repeat an important axiom that some of my fellow Democrats seem to forget and that gives the Re publicans fuel for elections!

When dealing with terrorists and the enemies of America you either KICK ASS or you are percieved as an ASS KISSER! There are nasty folks out there who don’t care what type of karma they are creating by using a dirty nuke on our cities! Thank God Barrack Obama seems to understand this completly and is, in my opion, stronger on national defense than John Sydney McCain!

John McCain and his fellow traveler George Bush have undermined the military deterrence of the United States by this vast wild eyed Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq! Years after the declaration of the accomplishment of the Congressional Mandated Mission, Bush and McCain have changed the mission and hence destroyed our military deterrence! Let me explain.

The best use of force is the threat of that force! But our threat of force is undermined by this vast wild eyed social engineering experiment in Iraq! We do well with fast “shock and awe” rather than extended occupations which we do not have the heart for. Besides how can we move on to the next enemy if we get sidetracked by an extended stay in Iraq? Our perceived capacity to use force is thus diminished. If we celebrated “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” then our enemies would fear our “Shock And Awe” military technology. That is if our CUT AND RUN Corporations don’t sell it to America’s enemies!

John Sidney McCain just does not seem to get it! He is wasting our troops, financial resources and our credibiity with America’s allies by this fixation with the SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq!

1.  Rogue regimes do not fear being overthrown and converted to democracies! They simply fear being overthrow!
2. What message are we sending Iran if we say we will not allow them to have nuclear weapons yet we are building a Missile Defense shield in Eastern Europe whose sole purpose is to protect Europe from a rogue state having a few nuclear missiles! The very premise of the missile shield is that we are going to allow Iran to have nukes!

John McCain shows even more bad judgment in that he would not meet with potential enemies! We spoke to the Soviet Union. Besides we can always cut off talks if they do not bear fruit. But the purpose of meeting with them is that they can see our willingness to fight if they cross the line. Also it is a means to give an adversary a face saving mechanism to change their course! Finally it gives us creditability with our allies who can help us bear the cost should war be needed!

John Sydney McCain and Sarah Palin just do not have the judgment to defend the United States!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN!

Oh the bleeding hearts in the Republican Party want us to weep for the poor upper 5% who make out like bandits while we the Silent Majority - America’s great Middle Class work our butts off every day to stay afloat. Their sense of “entitlement is beyond imagination! No I don’t deny the right of people to become millionaires! But the word “socialism” does not send fear down my spine. Especially not European style socialism. Instead Unemployment and lack of heath care send a shiver of fear down my spine! I want to become not just a computer programmer but also a self employed computer consultant! I need universal health care to do this and for my pay scale not to be undercut by importing low salary H1-b foreign tech workers to destroy my dreams! If there were a shortage of tech workers let the “free market” take care of it via higher salaries! The corporations have no problem manipulating for government intervention in the free market to lower my pay scale as a tech worker!

In the video above Senator Joe Biden leads the Silent Majority in “STANDING UP FOR AMERICA”! Naturally the effete snobs of privilege would prefer profits from off shoring and they resent this call to patriotism!

The human body has two nervous systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic that compliments each other. Many things in life do not have clear cut solutions but compromises to bring about a “homeostasis” of competing desirable values! The progressive income tax is one side of the compensation homeostasis of the body of society! While we want to encourage the future Bill Gates of America to create we must also look at the top and ask a fundamental question that more and more Americans are now willing to ask:

“Why should someone earn more money than me especially when it is hundreds of time more than the average Joe makes? What contributions to society are they doing that warrant such compensation?”

Oh dear me now I did it, I broke a taboo of our internalized culture! Let me ask you a rhetorical question! Would you favor giving African Americans a check of $50,000.00 dollars for the uncompensated work that their ancestors did as slaves? Well most of us would favor the “sentiment” but not the actual act. I also would not favor giving such a check as we believe people should reap the rewards of their own merits rather than the ones of their ancestors. Yet Cindy McCain inherited somewhere around $36 - $88 million dollars from her ancestors. So in her case hours worked from past ancestors are still paying off today! Again we are trying to balance the right to pass on wealth with the dictates of a free society where one’s advancement is the result of ones own merit and all can have an equal shot at being wealthy!

We do not want our society to get involved with the relative compensation of one citizen vs. another as this is a competitive aspect that we prefer to believe does not exist! However are we willing to believe that executives who make millions per year are contributing to a free society in proportion to their compensation? This is where progressive taxation is just society’s way of saying “Time For A Reality Check”! That is because it really is a MYTH that a multi-millionaire makes a greater contribution to society that a member of the SILENT MAJORITY - America’s great Middle Class!

We live in an era of licentious permissiveness (I love to use Republican Speak) where loyalty to the nation that gave wealth to corporations and investors is considered ethically relative in relation to making a profit! We see our jobs; technology and even corporations off shored, frequently even to the enemies of America while those higher paying jobs that remain in the technology area are filled by foreign H1-b Visa workers. AIG was a prime example of using H1-b employees to destroy the careers of computer professionals! These corporations frequently renounce their American identity to term themselves “multinational” while they sing their new “Republican Party Globalization Internationale” at the expense of the nation that give them birth, incorporation, protection and profits!

Yet where are these BLEEDING HEARTS of the Republican Party when this massive WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION program is taking place from the “producers” in our society to the upper 5% via the instruments of Globalization, H1-b Visas and predatory debt practices by both mortgage lenders and credit card companies! The latter that use fees and higher rates to insure that many never will pay off their cards! America’s Silent Majority is starting to realize that CLASS WARFARE has been going on all the time! We go to job interviews and we have to parrot that we read the company’s annual report and find it so wonderful that we want to commit a life time of service to the CORPORATE COLLECTIVE while they make no such commitment to us! As if the needs of the Corporate Collective are the individual’s needs also! Corporations are allowed to have desire for profit and greed. The employee is to pledge his life long commitment without a reciprocal one in return from the Corporate Collective!

The initial job interview is not a test of ones skills but of ones internalization of the Corporate Collective’s needs over the individual! Like I give a shit that they made x amount last year as it may be because they paid their employees less! I am not to have greed and the desire for profit rather I am to subvert my needs to the corporate collective! Don’t change what I am saying here. Being part of a “team” is essential when seeking employment. The issue is the one sided aspect of the relationship! Is it any wonder that “trickle down economics” was so successful in the political arena! We are indoctrinated to serve our social betters from the time we seek employment! Ah yes the Republican Brave New World! Let the rich upper 5% of the world unite and let us sing with them “The Republican Corporate Globalization Internationale” as we ship American jobs, wealth, technology and our futures overseas while our social betters reap the rewards of this WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT!

Instead of talking about how many days into the new year we are paying taxes maybe every American employee should receive with his paycheck a note telling him at what day in the new year his total compensation will equal the first day of compensation of the corporate CEO!

Let’s join Joe Biden and use that “S” word proudly. TIME TO “STAND” UP FOR AMERICA! This November 4th is SILENT MAJORITY DAY! Time to take our nation back from these effete snobs of privilege whose loyalty is to profit before country! 

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN! 

It drives me crazy the way the news media can be so pro-conservative yet the Republicans get away with their endless whining that the news media is pro-liberal! Bin Laden has endorsed John McCain for President! Yet you hardly hear about this in the news media!

Why would they endorse McCain instead of Obama? Well McCain would continue the vast wild eyed Republican Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq that is wasting our troops and money rather than attacking the Al Qaeda homeland in the Pakistani - Afghan border region!

One can also ask why the Democrats are not screaming foul play at the news media! There are two reasons for this:

1. Negative Ad Failure: The public does not like negative campaigning and Obama is currently way ahead in the polls so why play the “news media card”, better to keep it if the polls change. Frankly I am surprised the public isn’t more gullible! I guess being a wine drinker I have a pessimistic view of the general public!
2. The Pelosi - John Kerry Syndrome! Just sit back and let the Republicans beat us up! Example: John Kerry just sat back and let Bush’s surrogates smear his military record while President Bush never even completed his required military commitment in the National Guard! Yet no one in the Democratic Party seems to care. Much less that there is a war raging and they allow Bush to play the “Patriot Game” when they could really knock Bush out with his past.

Where the hell is the news media? What ever happened to the “free press” and hard hitting investigative journalism? Why does the news media just sit back when the public would be served with investigations concerning:

• Osama Bin Laden’s endorsement of John McCain! Why isn’t this plastered all over the news and on Obama ads?
• Sarah Palin and her association with the Alaskan Independence Party (See prior post). They even have her on their site video addressing their party this year wishing them good luck and complimenting these wild eyed secessionists. Imagine if this had been Obama!
• Sarah Palin only gives interviews with Senator McCain at her side! My God what is he her daddy protecting her from trick questions such as “What is the Bush Doctrine”?What if McCain dies will Big Brother McCain be there to protect sweet pit bull Sarah Palin from the nasty news media or worse Putin?

Is the news media waiting for Barrack Obama to take the lead in attacking McCain for the above? What happened to investigative hard hitting journalism? Are the members of the news media such wimps that they cannot take on John McCain and his obvious inconsistencies! Perhaps the members of the news media received blood transfusions from John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi! Meow Meow!

As I have mentioned in this blog before I cannot understand how Sarah Palin’s association with the Alaskan Independence Party is not being blasted all over the news media! Damn if this had been Obama the whining Republicans would be screaming about news media biases! Now in the final stages of the campaign we hear John McCain hiding behind Sarah Palin while she does his dirty work accusing Barrack Obama of not loving America enough to associating with terrorists! Bill Maher in the video below, while a comedy, does an excellent job illustrating the issue of Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party!
I still believe that Joe Biden should be used to take Sarah Palin out with a media blitz by:

• Attacking Sarah Palin directly for her association with the Alaskan Independence Party. For details read my prior post of the details!
• Screaming NEWS MEDIA biases! It is not enough to simply counter attack but also to launch an offensive! The Democrats have learned some lessons from the Psychological Warfare that was conducted against them by Richard Nixon as they now utilize the term “Middle Class” as a mantra. But they should also covet the term “News Media Biases” from the whiners of the right!
• Attack John McCain’s judgment by raising the issue of his choice of Sarah Palin. General Colin Powell recently cited McCain’s choice of Palin as one of the reasons he is endorsing Barrack Obama!

(As a side note to my readers below is the full version video of the hilarious Saturday Night Live “Palin - Clinton” Speech)

Naturally John McCain is not motivated by the fact he is down in the polls when he decided to launch his attack on Barrack Obama’s patriotism as he had more pressing issues to discuss before this! Such as the pressing issue of “Lipstick on a Pig”! Maybe he should take the lip stick off his campaign of smear and stop letting Sarah Palin do his sleaze work and be man enough to attack Obama himself!

Perhaps the only reason the Democrats have not raised the issue of Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party is because the public seems to punish the candidate that uses negative advertising. They can always use the issue if the polls go against the Democrats. None the less this is a reversion back to the college campus dorm rooms of the late 60’s when I was a student and anyone who opposed the war was called unpatriotic and the news media listed only two types of citizens! Right wing flag wavers vs. left wing flag burners! It could be argued that the news media then was pro war in that with that as the choice is it any wonder Americans were against liberals!

Barrack Obama has learned the lessons of the sixties somewhat, though he seems to believe that is a by gone era! Perhaps it is because the baby boomer genration has heard that tired old pseduo-patriotic attack before that Barrack Obama’s polls are so high, the econmy not with standing! He has appropriated the then used term “Middle Class” I just wish liberals would play the news media biases game as well as the conservatives! So let this Ranting Bald Hippie end this post with some bumper stickers and ads I think the Democrats should run:

STAND UP FOR AMERICA: SAY NO TO SARAH PALIN THE FRIEND OF SECCESSIONISTS!

Our markets are in a turmoil we need LAW AND ORDER!

COUNTRY FIRST - NATIONALIZE THE BANKS AND SUPPORT THE MIDDLE CLASS!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN - THE SILENT MAJORITY MUST COME BEFORE THE UPPER 5%!

Sarah Palin who seems to have no problem addressing this year’s Convention of The Alaskan Independence Party, as they even have the video of her speech on their website, cannot face a single reporter who dares to “question her”! Imagine if McCain died in office and she had to deal with Putin! The Vice Presidential Debates where the perfect chance to show this so called pit bull for the inexperienced feather weight that she is! She was McCain’s last hope! Well that and their game of let’s be patriotic and not talk about the financial mess as that would hurt our economy! I prefer Senator Biden’s definition of Patriotism.

It is time for those who benefit from the transport of American jobs, wealth and technology to fork over some of their profits. Hey it’s not like they EARNED IT! For God’s sake the President of the United States doesn’t even make what some of these fat cats make! Yet he has the responsibility of the nuclear button!

Well the hockey mom from no where last night received a “Northern Exposure from a real pit bull, Keith Olbermanm (See The excellent Video above)! Finally the news media is going after Sarah Palin on her connection’s to the Alaskan Independence Party which I have mentioned in prior posts. Now the Alaskan Independence Party even has a video of her addressing their 2008 Convention!

However Keith Olbermann did not stop there! Sarah Palin tried to resurrect the Jeremiah Wright issue while using Barrack Obama’s middle name, “Hussein”! This shows the desperation of the Republican Campaign after their CUT AND RUN from Michigan! You know the state that McCain was supposed to draw on the former Hillary Clinton supporters! Sarah Palin is so desperate she is appealing to folks who can believe that Obama went to Wright’s Church AND is a Muslim! Keith Olbermann exposes Sarah Palin’s own experience with ministers. One who did a “laying on of hands” to drive out the powers of witchcraft. Apparently this same man went after some poor woman from his native Africa accusing her of witchcraft! Please watch Keith Olbermann’s video above! Many, including myself, passed this minister by as just being eccentric being that I am not a Pentecostal. I respect everyone’s right to religion, you know one of those liberal faults of mine! But as Keith Olbermann shows this goes beyond that to the character of this minister and even what the effect of her beliefs could have on the United States!

Sarah Palin seems to have some Hockey Moms from her area upset also. See the video above. I find it interesting and wish the news media would investigate this for the human interest side of it.

QUESTION: What is the difference between the foreign policy experience of the Governor of Alaska and an Alaskan Salmon?

ANSWER: Lipstick! But then again that is not fair to the Alaskan Salmon as it sometimes goes into the territorial waters of Russia and thus has more foreign policy experience than Sarah Palin!

Being Governor of Alaska with Russia next door, is “SORT A LIKE” having foreign policy experience! Except you don’t have any actual experience and no responsibility actually meeting with the Russians except to wave to them across the water!

What do we really know about John Sidney McCain? What kind of judgement does he show by his  selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate?

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN!
