As a social democrat I just cannot wait till Barrack Obama gets re-elected so we can cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and continue Barrack Obama’s testosterone challenged response to the Tea Party driven GOP! Bill Maher seems to feel that if we do not re-elect Barrack Obama then it would mean that Blacks are not capable of being president. I thought racism is when you judge someone by their skin color rather than their performance! (Below is a short video clip from Bill Maher). Note if it does not appear then hit your browser’s reload button.

Re-elect Barrack Obama or vote third party?

Oh Barrack I want so much to join you so we can make the “hard choices” and compromise ever more with Republicans! After all we middle class Americans need to know our place in this Brave New World where corporations are persons! President Obama, is the 2008 Goldman Sachs PAC winner receiving the largest donations from the nice people at Goldman Sachs!

But wait those mean nasty Republicans never gave our hero of “Change We Can Believe In” a fighting chance!

Yes that is true but Obama is a wimp who does not use the bully pulpit! We had control of both Houses of Congress and a super-majority in the Senate. I would still support Obama even if he did not get one piece of legislation passed. My problem with Obama is that he is a wimp who plays make  believe liberal inside the corporate sandbox. He accepts their limitations and does not want to offend his corporate sponsors! Doubt me? Then answer the question below.

Question: Why didn’t he strong arm corporate Democrats and push for real reforms?

Answer: Barrack Obama is a wimp! Better to vote third party even if it results in a President Romney! You do realize that Democrats can also filibuster? If Obama is re-elected we will have trickle down testosterone deficiency in the Democratic Party!

But then again he is just like Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer! Well I refuse to play “make believe progressive”! Stop defending this wimp!

Join Barrack Obama And Play “Make Believe Progressive”!

Barrack Obama knows his place in the new Brave New World where corporations are people! That is why I think every Democrat should follow along with President Obama and Wall Street Chuckie Schumer!

Let’s make believe we had real financial reforms!

Barrack Obama’s reforms have made credit card companies disclose out right their high interest rates without outlawing the practice of usury! Oh yes this is CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN! That is why we need to re-elect Barrack Obama to show that we middle class Americans KNOW OUR PLACE in this Brave New World of corporate personhood!

Economic debt slavery to serve our social betters is what real progressives should rally around! Re-Elect Barrack Obama and let’s show the world we middle class Americans know our place!

Our battle cry shall be:

“Barrack Obama – making the middle class strong with usury, free trade agreements, and off shoring of both blue and white collar jobs!

Let’s Make Believe We Had A Real Job Stimulus!

Stop making excuses for this wimp! Racism is when you judge by skin color rather than job performance! We NEVER had a real stimulus package and even if Obama where to push for one when we had control of Congress the stimulus would not be effective without some type of tariff!

Obama should have issued a “recall” on the Cut and Run Corporations and investors  that flee America, the nation that gave them birth, protection, incorporation and profits  for our potential enemy –  China!

But instead Obama wants to play “make believe progressive” inside the CORPORATE SANDBOX of his monied corporate contributors! Yeah this is “Change We Can Believe In”!

Let’s Make Believe Obama Is Fighting Against Corporate Personhood

The fact is that before the Supreme Court even made it’s ruling Barrack Obama was practicing “corporate personhood” by allowing the leaders of the Health Care Industry to participate in direct discussions! He was afraid they would mount ads against his bill as they had done with the Clinton Bill!

This is why we have an Occupy Wall Street Movement! These few individuals who run these giant corporations are being given power way beyond their numbers! Instead the “numbers” are the cash they can put out! Who pays for that cash by the way? We do in the form of our insurance premiums and drug costs!

We are being forced to finance the political agenda of the 1% when they use our insurance premiums and drug costs to finance their K-Street operations and super-PACS. Middle class Americans are being forced to submit to “taxation without representation”. Where is the outrage from Obama?

Why isn’t Barrack Obama calling for a Constitutional Amendment to separate corporation and state? Can you hear the pathetic “meow” of Barrack Obama while playing liberal inside the corporate sandbox of his donors?

Republican members of Congress have the right to sit with the President and talk because they represent real people. But if we had a separation of corporation and state with real campaign financing from the treasury then even the Republicans would be more pliable since they would not be as much afraid of the far right wing.

Obama And The Brave New World Of The Corporate Plutocrats

We are seeing the subjugation of the middle class!  Barrack Obama’s testosterone challenged leadership is the reason it is succeeding!

President FDR said that

“Necessitous men are not free men”!

The 1% are building a nation of necessitous citizens where in the value of a dividend check has higher value over the value of a pay check! Add to this the problem of “trickle down identity” that makes those who own some stock believe in the fantasy that they are beyond the middle class when in effect if their jobs ended tomorrow they would fall fast.

We need a president who will use the bully pulpit.

But Barrack Obama is looking the other way as we are being converted into a nation of necessitous citizens!

Sure the kitten meows when pressed but never takes decisive action such as calling for:

1. A constitutional amendment to separate corporation and state.
2. Ending free trade. Only last fall he signed another free trade treaty!
3. Calling for the end of “usury” by credit card companies, mortgages and student loans. Yes on the last he just made some progress. To bad these students will see their white collar jobs off shored or diminished at home.
4. Real health care instead of the phony system he passed.
5. The recall of Wisconsin Governor Walker and going to that state to stand with the unions!
6. Laws to make union membership available to all, both blue and white collar employees!
7. A real job stimulus! Because of Obama people will now believe that Keynesian economics does not work. But we never had a real stimulus.
8. Elimination of not simply the Bush Tax Cuts but the Reagan and Kennedy Tax Cuts as well!

RACISM TEST!

If you believe this is “Change We Can Believe In” then you are going against Dr. Martin Luther King who wanted Black people to be judged as “individuals” and by their individual deeds rather than their skin color! You are putting your head in the sand if you believe Obama fought for “Change We Can Believe In”! Again the issue is not how much legislation he could get passed but that he gave up when we had the majority in Congress rather than arm twist.

Obama Groupies Have To Face Facts

Because Obama treated corporations as people we now have a health care law that forces Americans to buy a corporate product when they should have the option to opt into a real public option plan.

True the issue is not just Obama but many Democrats who are also play “progressive” inside the monied confines of the corporate sandbox of their sponsors!

Obama did not give us a “starter house”. It will never be completed even if we Democrats had 110 Senators in a Senate of 100 because corporate power is to extensive and Obama does not want to use the bully pulpit to call for a constitutional amendment to separate corporation and state.

Occupy Wall Street Stands For Change We Can Believe In

The time has come to stop putting our heads in the sand and support the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Obama has turned his back on “Change We Can Believe In”.

If you still believe Obama gave us real health care, financial reform, a job stimulus and support for unions then listen to the short video below.

Sure Sarah Palin is a nut job. But what is worse is Progressives playing “make believe” and believing that Obama is one of us!

• What Progressives Can Do (middle-class-populist.com)
• Bill Maher: If First Black President Only Has One Term, People Would See It As A ‘Failure’ (mediaite.com)

Chris Matthews reported that former President Clinton advised President Barrack Obama to drop the flip flop attack against Mitt Romney and instead to portray Mitt Romney as a hard core conservative. The idea being that Romeny has painted himself into a corner that now will alienate him with the center and with woman.

I believe there is more to it than that! First take a look at the theory as presented by Chris Matthews on his MSNBC Show “Hardball”! (Note if you cannot see the video try re-loading this page)

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

While President Obama may indeed use that strategy I believe the reasons for doing so involve much more. This is not just a strategy to appeal to the center.

Which Party Has A Base That Is Fired Up?

I believe the Republican base is more fired up! I believe that fire is not really “for” Romney as much as it is “against” Barrack Obama! The Democratic Party base is having some real problems with Obama! I have family and friends that just don’t understand that Progressives, like myself, view Barrack Obama as a sell out.

I would never sit out an election but could vote for the Green Party or even Buddy Roemer who is now running a third party candidacy! Many Progressives feel the same way I do.

Now follow Obama’s logic with three groups!

1. The hard core conservative base of the Republican Party.
2. Independents and moderates.
3. The hard core left base of the Democratic Party

Mitt Romney is indeed a flip floper! But Obama does not want to pursue that label against Romney. Instead he will, according to Chris Matthews, label Mitt Romney a hard core conservative.

Obama knows that the first group listed above, the GOP base, has such a hate for Obama that it is pointless to use the flip flop strategy. The flip flop strategy would work with the second group, centrists and moderates.

Labeling Mitt Romney a right winger would also work to win over the centrists. So either strategy would work with group #2.

The Real Issue Is Obama’s Base!

Remember voters like myself, who are progressive social democrats, have a conflict with Obama! We could either sit out this election or vote for a third party candidate! Doing either could throw the election to Mitt Romney!

If Obama labels Mitt Romney a “flip floper” then every progressive who is entertaining the idea of either sitting out the election or voting third party would feel more comfortable doing so because Mitt Romney’s election would not be so negative after all!

The motivation for Progressives, like myself, to vote third party or sit out the election are three fold!

1. To purge the Democratic Party of corporate shrills like Obama who “play” make believe liberal  inside the monied confines of the “corporate sandbox” of his Goldman Sachs donors!
2. Absolute disgust at how much of a damned wimp Obama has turned out to be in pursuing the progressive agenda!
3. Fear that an Obama win could herald the collapse of the New Deal as Obama leads the Democratic Party down the path of a “Grand Compromise” that would roll back Social Security, Medicare and the fight to close the income gap! Where is Obama in pursuing a Constitutional Amendment to separate corporation and state? Obama is a wimp who sat down with the insurance industry corporations as if they represented millions of Americans when in fact they represented millions of dollars that they collect from average citizens to advance their political agenda!

Obama is just now reaching out to college students to prevent their student loan interest rates from rising! Fine how about stopping the loss of high tech jobs from being shipped overseas?

This wimp just signed another free trade treaty last fall! It is not just blue collar union jobs that are being lost but white collar high tech jobs that are also being lost!

I do not want a President Romney! But not at the expense of having Obama re-elected so he can pine about “sacrifice” and “compromise” where by the legacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt is not only not advanced but rolled back!

This is not “Change We Can Believe In”! Without Obama as President at least Democrats would not be masochistically destroying our own legacy!

YOU DO REALIZE THAT 40 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS COULD FILIBUSTER ROMNEY IF HE TRIED TO DESTROY THE LEGACY OF FDR?

But of course I forgot something!

We are talking about Democrats! Oh we would not want to stand up and act like we had some testosterone now would we? However with Obama at the helm we would have the charge of the castrati brigade to compromise with the Republicans and send this nation back to Pre-FDR times! You know “hope and change we can believe in”!

If Obama is President then corporations will not only have a president in office but a “Democratic Party” President in office to do their bidding! I would rather vote for the Green Party candidate or Buddy Roemer then to have Barrack Obama give away my social security and medicare!

If we have Barrack Obama then the issue will continue to be the National Debt instead of the growing Income Gap!

The answer is simple:

1. Build a strong protective tariff to protect both American blue collar AND white collar jobs!
2. Define foreign investments by Americans as a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE. Place strong restrictions on foreign investments unless it serves the interest of the people of the United States rather than the CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS!
3. Repeal both the Bush and Reagan Tax Cuts. If needed also repeal the Kennedy Tax Cuts!
4. Pass a Constitutional Amendment to separate corporation and state!

Barrack Obama is too beholden to his friends at Goldman Sachs to do any of the above. If Romney were to win by progressives voting for a third party candidate then at least our party would be purged of corporate shrills!

I believe it is worth it!

As a progressive I am afraid the 2012 election is going to be about “damage control” rather than advancing the progressive agenda. By now, if you were to believe my conservative co-workers, Barrack Obama should have turned this nation hard left! I should be toasting our new and ever glorious euro-socialist motherland! President Franklin Delano Roosevelt‘s dream of a “second bill of rights” would have already been enacted by our glorious President Barrack Obama!

After all we won the 2008 election in a landslide, with both houses of Congress in our pocket! We even had a super-majority in the Senate!

But we forgot the bad news!

We elected a wimp for a president who did not have the guts to strong arm Joe Lieberman and his corpocrat democrats! In our enthusiasm and zeal we forgot that the Goldman Sachs PAC awarded Barrack Obama as #1 actor to play make believe liberal inside the confines of the “corporate sandbox”!

There are no real Democrats except for Senator Bernie Sanders and he isn’t really a registered Democrat! Thus our nation has to endure more conservative rant about a so called “left wing news media” when it should be termed the “corporate news media”. The corporate news media undermined Howard Dean and gave us John Kerry. The corporate news media never mention the legacy of FDR. Americans don’t even know about President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s push for a “Second Bill of Right”!

FDR’s “Second Bill Of Rights” Versus “Corporate Personhood”

Most Americans do not know that FDR wanted to enact a “second bill of rights”! President Roosevelt said, if you listen to the video below, “necessitous  men are not free men”. If you do not have a job, medical care, support in old age then you are not free!

Brave New GOP World: Experiencing The Joy Of Serving Our Social Betters

But the Republicans and their fellow travelers in the corporate Democratic Party have another name for a nation of necessitous citizens! They call it a ‘business friendly environment”.

This is the America they strive to achieve! Barrack Obama is their enabler when he should be the advocate of FDR’s second bill of rights! Barrack Obama is not responsible for the Supreme Court’s ruling on Citizens’ United giving corporate personhood. But Barrack Obama is responsible for not launching a drive to amend the Constitution to separate corporation and state! STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THIS WIMP!

But really would you expect the winner of the Goldman Sachs PAC to call for a separation of corporation and state?

So Who Will Bring Out Their Base?

As I mentioned this election is not about moving forward but just preserving what FDR gave us! We have a wimp as the leader of the Democratic Party! That is why I will not vote for him. I will vote for Buddy Roemer or please God let him run, Senator Bernie Sanders!

While Romney will have problems pulling out the GOP base Obama will have even more of a problem bringing progressives to his side.

Ed Schultz: Obama Groupie

Ed Schultz just loves to live in fantasy land! Hey Ed here are some slogans you can run for Obama!

• Vote for Obama so we can play make believe financial reform! I just love financial reform that protects usury!
• Vote for Obama and preserve “to big to fail”!
• Vote for Obama and let’s ship even more jobs overseas and have more “free trade deals”.
• Vote for Obama so we can compromise with the GOP and eliminate social security, Medicare and what few workers still have pensions in America!
• Vote for Obama so we can have more compromises on our civil liberties!
• Vote for Obama and let’s make believe we had a stimulus package while we gave more money to AIG than infrastructure repair!

The bottom line is this my fellow Progressives. Neither Obama or Romney is a Progressive. But if Obama is President than Democrats will continue to suffer from Obama Trickle Down Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome! When Obama wants to cave in they will follow. But if Romney is President then at least Congressional Democrats will not be lead into compromising the legacy of FDR!

You do realize that if Democrats can control either House or at least 41 Senators then a President Romney’s agenda cannot pass.

There is a problem though. I am assuming that Democrats can be fighters just like the Republicans. Republicans know how to take a loss of the Presidency and both Houses of Congress yet still block the Democratic Party agenda! If the situation were reversed could Democrats do the same thing?

Below President Obama steps forward to defend his actions! The voice you hear in the background is the nice folks at Goldman Sachs!

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

Democrats are the bigest pussies going and have no guts to stand up and defend the legacy of FDR! That is why I will not vote for Obama but rather a third party candidate. Even if it means that Romney wins! If Obama wins he will twist Democrats to compromise!

No more compromising the legacy of FDR when we should instead be pushing for FDR’s Second Bill of Rights! Ed Schultz is loosing touch with reality.

While I am a Progressive Social Democrat who may not vote for Barrack Obama I cannot believe he would actually utilize the “wag the dog” scenario! However I believe circumstances are going to make that scenario very probable this fall! Please bear with me as I lay out this scenario which which I believe is above partisan politics!

I don’t like the way our national agenda is so closely linked with Israel. I am not against Israel. But I have to wonder why all this attention to the chaos in Syria when just a short time ago a genocide was taking place in Darfur! Below Senator John McCain calls for American involvement in Syria.

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

I would not be against helping the rebels in Syria but again why the collective amnesia when there was a genicide taking place in Darfur? Dear reader remember the business slogan … “location…location…location”! If you do not suffer from Sarah Palin Syndrome but understand world geography, then you realize that Darfur does not share a border with Israel but Syria does.

Now what was that slogan? Oh yes! “Never forget!” I guess genocides in Darfur do not count!

An Israeli Strike This Autumn Against Iran?

Unless events change rapidly I believe Israel will strike against Iran this fall and I have to confess I do not blame them. Economic sanctions do not work. Just look at North Korea!

The difference between North Korea and Iran is that China is most likely protecting North Korea behind the scenes! It would have been more logical for Bush to attack North Korea than Iraq except for then we would anger China.

While an Israel strike “could” have enormous consequences for the price of oil, the growing tensions will also jack up prices.  The video below discusses that issue.

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

Most analysts believe that Israel could start the operation but not finish it completely! The outcome would either result in:

1. An incomplete destruction that would set Iran back but not end her program.
2. Iran then attacking American interests in the Gulf which would then bring about American armed forces finishing the job Israel started.

Thanks to the Bush Doctrine an imminent strike by Israel could be the justification of an American preemptive strike against Iranian military assets that pose a threat to our Gulf interests. This American preemptive strike would be strengthened by Iranian posturing that has already taken place and future Iranian statements and military movements!

Function Vs. Purpose: How Obama Can Wag The Dog

Many have stated they believe Israel will strike right before our elections. These analysts state such a strike by Israel would embarrass Obama into action! I don’t believe that is the full story as to why Israel will act.

There is actually a strong reward for Obama to back the Israeli strike.

Obama fears losing the support of his base. But if Israel takes the heat then Obama is free of blame but can still play the game for gain!  Since the nation will be in a quasi state of war just before the election the president’s poll numbers will rise! After all he supports the action but only wanted to delay it! Republicans will be playing the “drill baby drill” slogan and blaming Obama for higher gas prices. Obama could unleash the reserves which would fix prices till the elections. But the rising crisis may drive prices even higher. Israel will take the heat off Obama, by attacking Iran and let him enjoy higher ratings as a war time president. 

Again Obama is not doing this “on purpose”  but a “function” of his invoking the Bush Doctrine and finishing what Israel started will be a “wag the dog scenario”! 

Israel has to do this because she cannot allow Iran to have nukes – period! We cannot allow Iran to have nukes else the Gulf states will take their money and use it to develop nuclear weapons!

Function vs. purpose.

If a married couple takes out life insurance and the husband is killed six months latter the wife gets the money. That is a “function” of the act. The fact that the wife benefits does NOT prove there was a criminal “purpose” to the wife buying life insurance.

What we have in late 2012 is the overlapping of two circles in a Venn Diagram! Israel’s needs and Obama’s re-election. That Obama will benefit in no way PROVES that he set it up this way! Israel knows this and must realize that America is to indecisive to act. By acting now Israel can sooth the American government as the “function” of an Israeli attack would be to wag the dog for Obama’s gain! 

But the fact is that Israel knows there is this conjunction of circles on the Venn Diagram of life. Israel must act. I agree completely!  Israel realizes that this “function” of the timing of her attack on Iran will reduce American objections.

Perhaps if we had not been sidetracked by Iraq then Saddam Hussein would still be there to fight the Iranians and be a buffer as he was before! Israel MUST ACT! As a Liberal who believes in ethical relativism I actually believe we should have stopped the old Soviet Union from acquiring nuclear weapons by preemptive strikes! We live in a world where throwing kisses does not work. This liberal actually believes in the Bush Doctrine! You read correctly! My only problem is the wrongful application of the Bush Doctrine in Iraq!

Now that the Republicans appear to have a candidate I am all fired up to go out and campaign for Obama! –  (Oh sure).  I just cannot wait till Obama gets re-elected and we have four more years of compromising and undermining of every progressive value I hold dear! I voted for Obama because I believed he was going to finish FDR’s work for a “Second Bill of Rights” but instead we have a wimp who will compromise on:

• Social Security
• Universal health care,
• The Bush Tax Cuts
• Corporate personhood,
• Off shoring of jobs,
• and tax cuts for the rich!

Ok maybe I should give Obama “some” more credit but I think I will be voting for Buddy Roemer!

I have been a political blogger now for several years. I have noticed that Obama seems to create a “Trickle Down Testosterone Deficiency” among my fellow Democrats and especially among progressives! I enjoy placing political satire videos in my site but have noticed a massive reduction in Obama support among their authors!

Speaking for myself I find I cannot support this wimp any longer! Sure occasionally some Republican will say something and I will appear to rise to Obama’s defense. But I want to make it plain to my readers I have no respect for Obama since he has no drive for progressive values nor even to defend himself!

If Progressives back Obama then we are emulating and celebrating the “testosterone free lifestyle” of Barrack Obama!

Ed Schultz: Obama Groupie Who Cannot Break Free

I really do love Ed Schultz but I find it so sad to watch him! Ed Schultz is acting like a high school girl waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up for their date! But the boy friend has jilted her and the poor girl just cannot believe it!

Oh please Ed stop this constant making excuses for Obama! We never had a real stimulus package and Obama was treating the health insurance companies as “corporate persons” at his conferences before the Supreme Court even ruled on their “personhood”! Where is the call for a constitutional amendment to separate corporation and state from Obama? Do you really believe Barrack Obama, the 2008 winner of the Goldman Sachs PAC, would call for such an amendment?

Below Senator Bernie Sanders tries to gently wake Ed Schultz from his zombie like allegiance to Obama!

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

The issue is NOT that Obama could not get the progressive agenda passed! The issue is that he did not even try! Obama allowed the national focus to change to the deficit!

Republicans say:

• Obama is a communist!
• Obama is a nazi!
• Obama is a Muslim!
• Obama is a Rev. Wright terrorist!
• Obama is a secular humanist!
• Since Obama loves gays by removing “Don’t ask –  don’t tell” he must want to impose not just Sharia law on America but “gay sharia law”!
• Obama hates white people that is why he wants to emulate Europeans with their Social Democratic Values! As we all know there are no whites in Europe!

I say the Republicans are all wrong concerning Obama! These things are contradictions but then again the realization that these accusations are contradictory require the brain of an amoeba and we are talking instead about people who watch FOXNEWS!

No Obama is none of the above things they accuse him of being! Obama is just a plain wimp! He plays “Progressive” inside the monied confines of the “corporate sandbox”! That is why Obama won the 2008 Goldman Sachs PAC highest contributions! 

I want Bernie Sanders to run for President! But in his absence I am voting for Gov. Buddy Roemer for President! I am glad he is running a third party candidacy!

I don’t care if Romney does win! You do realize that if Democrats get some testosterone we can also filibuster? Now I really am scared because Democrats just do not have any guts!

I took my title line from the “FrankFactor Podcast”. I could not agree with Frank more. Let me now repeat something I have said!

Barrack Obama is not a

1. Muslim
2. Atheist
3. Communist
4. Euro-Secularist
5. Kenyan
6. devotee of Gay Sharia law or any other combination there of.

No they have it all wrong! Barrack Obama is a wimp and the 2008 winner of the Goldman Sachs PAC! He got their highest campaign contributions! Just think what Barrack Obama can do with four more years? Former Governor Buddy Roemer is now running a third party candidacy! I will vote for him rather than Barrack Obama. Yes there are some issues I disagree with Buddy Roemer on! But Buddy Roemer is for bringing American jobs back and for the separation of corporation and state!

Barrack Obama, the 2008 Goldman Sachs PAC winner is all talk but no real action on the issues of money in politics or job offshoring! He even gave us one more free trade treaty!

On a personal note I have seen corporations like AIG use “in house temping” of employees to prevent the accumulation of vacations and medical benefits!  I know as I worked in their “Human Resources Department”. They screwed with my pension! This cute tactic of white collar FULL TIME TEMPS also protected AIG from giving pensions! I become enraged when I think about the 160 billion we gave to AIG yet a mere 40 -50 million for infrastructure repair! Oh yes this is what Barrack Obama calls “Change We Can Believe In”! Yeah right!

This is all part of an attack on the individual to make us subservient to the “corporate collective”! Next to go are social security and medicare!

Barrack Obama Isn’t A European Socialist But A Wimp

Our corporate news media have conditioned us to equate the term “euro-socialist” as synonymous as soviet gulag’s! Pensions are now becoming a thing of a by gone era! But that is not enough for the Republicans and their fellow travelers in the corporate wing of the Democratic Party headed by Obama and the Clintons!

Now they want our social security and Medicare! Barrack Obama is reputed to be ready to make a “grand compromise” that would cut back on social security!

The very sight of this pathetic wimp doing his hop skip and jump to the platform when he gives a speech sickens me! I would rather have the rich upper class Franklin Delano Roosevelt who had to move to the podium in crutches then the wimp we have now!

FDR stated that if you do not have a good job, health care and a secure retirement then you do not have “freedom”! With Barrack Obama and his fellow travelors in the GOP we will indeed have freedom!

Yes the “FREEDOM” OF SERVING OUR SOCIAL BETTERS!

The issue facing America today is one of values! What do we value more?

1. The income from a paycheck or
2. The dividend income from the work of the ancestors of our social betters!

Not to mention the extravagant compensation that the top 1% receive! I want the top 1% to “share my incentives”. The incentive to work to avoid poverty!

Dividing America?

No it is the conservatives who divide Americans against each other.

Look at how they try to “level” the income of union vs. nonunion workers? Look at how the GOP tries to set gay against straight! Not to mention the employed vs the unemployed!

We have an athletic  president who does not use the bully pulpit the way the crippled rich FDR used it to defend the middle class! I did not vote for Obama in 2008 so we could have a “grand compromise” that undermines social security and medicare!  This is not “Change We Can Believe In”!

I don’t care how crazy Republicans act in this election. I will not support Obama the wimp! Better to vote for Buddy Roemer even if it means a President Romney! You do realize that Democrats can filibuster also?

If Obama is re-elected he will bury “Change We Can Believe In” by institutionalizing testosterone free advocacy for the Progressive Agenda! Obama’s re-election will make America’s young believe that the Progressive Agenda is merely an extension of the Goldman Sachs agenda!

Conservatives are however engaged in a self-righteous tirade about defending religious freedom! I suggest you argue with your right wing friends along humorous lines below that confront their paranoia!

Obama’s Secret Agenda In Spreading Birth Control

Yes dear right winger we know the reason Barrack Obama is pushing for birth control! The same reason he was for the repeal of “Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell”! As we all know Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan all have an extensive gay presence in their military! The general staff’s meetings of these Muslim nations are a who’s who of gay military chiefs. These very same nations also encourage woman’s rights and provide contraceptive products and education to their female citizens.

Now dear right wing reader as we all know Barrack Hussein Obama is a Muslim – right? Therefore it only follows that Barrack Obama would never want to use Christian Europe as his role model but would instead use nations like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan as his role models for political change in America being that they are Muslim just like he is.

That is why dear right wing reader Barrack Hussein Obama is for protecting woman’s rights and for having gays in the military so he can emulate his fellow Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan rather than Christian Europe!

Birth control and gay rights it’s a Muslim thing you know! It’s all a part of a secret conspiracy by Barrack Hussein Obama  to impose Sharia Law on America!

As you already know Mitt Romney made a stupid remark about the poor. I believe Republicans actually would have loved his remark after the primary! His remarks were a perfect set up for a Richard Nixon “silent majority” strategy that would pit the middle class against the poor. The idea being to alienate middle class Americans from Democrats and their “so-called” worsey welfare state!

The ONLY reason why this strategy failed Mitt Romney is because he is not yet facing Barrack Obama. If that were the case I believe Republicans would have loved the strategy! But there still is a primary and  Newt Gingrich saw a chance to score on rich Mitt.

Please note I don’t believe for one second that Gingrich gives a krap for anyone but himself. But he used this occasion and perhaps saved the Democrats from defending against a “welfare Cadillac” GOP strategy!

Once Gingrich said his piece then the rest of the GOP had to back away from Mitt Romney’s stupid remark about the poor! Even Rush Limbaugh has criticized him.

Gov. Romney stated that his focus will be on the middle class not the rich! He says the rich  are well off while  the poor have a safety net.

How We Progressives Can Exploit This

Frankly I have to confess that while I care about the poor, I believe most middle class Americans could be swayed by a new GOP  ”welfare Cadillac” strategy.  But Progressives have not been so naive as in the past. You know when we progressives used to call ourselves “liberals”! We allowed the Republicans to “steal the football”. Now we know better and have to relate the progressive agenda to middle class concerns while not forgetting the poor.

The problem is that many middle class Americans worry about becoming poor. That fear is how we progressives should connect to the middle class rather than altruism!

This fear even extends to millionaires! In fact a recent survey by the Fidelity Investments Corporation of multi-millionaires said that 42% not only do not feel they are rich but they will outlive their investments! When asked what would make them feel rich they responded having at least 7.5 million! Wow so many millionaires do not feel “self sufficient”. Gee how are we middle class Americans to feel?

While Newt Gingrich criticized Mitt Romney for desiring to “divide Americans”, Newt Gingrich wanted to put poor children to work. Poor kids could replace unionized janitors at their local school. (See short video below).

Newt Gingrich Wants Poor Kids To Know Their Place

Can you imagine a kid going to school in Newt Gingrich’s America? Under Newt Gingrich’s plan only one janitor would remain in each school to be assisted by poor kids. Meanwhile Johnny rich brat can piss on the bathroom floor and the poor kids can then be made to clean the rich kids mess!

What a valuable life lesson “class” they can learn at an early age!

They can lean to know their place in the CLASS STRUCTURE of America! It is bad enough that kids in school bully other kids. Now we can make it “classy”! Teach the kids their place in the class structure of America using Newt Gingrich’s class syllabus! But wait all is not lost!

Meanwhile Senator Rand Paul, who is Ron Paul’s son, wants to “unleash” the power of our ever glorious free market to bring full employment by eliminating those nasty minimum wage laws! That is how you become “self-sufficient” in Republican Party America! Just ask anyone who has to use a hospital emergency room for their average medical treatment! Most work but at such low wages they cannot afford to go to a doctor!

Dear reader let’s connect the dots. Let’s remember about the plight of our social betters that was uncovered by the Fidelity investments Corporation study that says 42% of millionaires believe they will outlive their investments!

Amazing millionaires who do not believe in this great land of free enterprise, that they have NOT yet reached the point of being self-sufficient!

Pity the poor job creators!

That is why I know my place and am so happy that pensions are becoming a thing of the past! I would rather middle class Americans feel insecure in our old age instead of those millionaires cited in the study above! After all they are the “producers” and the “job creators”! I would not want the millionaires to feel so insecure in their old age.

Besides even if we have lower incomes, little or no pensions we in the middle class still have social security and Medicare! – Right?

All is not lost. Let us “turn the page”!

Barrack Obama: From Poor Kid To 2008 Winner Of The Goldman Sachs PAC #1 Award

Well I realize my readers may be discouraged after I discussed Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul all is not lostl! Now enter Barrack Obama – our hero!

Yes the spunky lad grew up and worked his way up from humble origins with an African born father and American mom to become the coveted 2008 GOLDMAN SACHS PAC #1 AWARD WINNER!  And they said American corporations are racist!

The GOLDMAN SACHS PAC in 2008 considered Barrack Obama to be their best investment of PAC money!

Is it any wonder that Barrack Obama has in his words decided to “turn the page” when it comes to how we got into this fiscal mess rather than investigate the crooks on wall street. Oh but wait! Now three years into his presidency President Obama wants to start some investigations!

This financial crisis could have been played to the hilt to move the nation leftward. Barrack Obama could have been the 21^st Century FDR. But what do we get instead? “Barrack the wimpy hearted” who plays liberal inside the corporate sandbox like a good little boy!

Remember before I mentioned our declining incomes and the weakening of our pensions!

But with Barrack Obama as our remaining jobs get off shored we can enjoy four more years of even bigger concessions to Republicans. So far we have enjoyed a toothless health care reform and financial reforms that have not ended “to big to fail”! We have “enjoyed” financial reforms” that force disclosure of the interest rate but still allow the practice of USURY! 

Despite the biggest financial avoidable meltdown since the Great Depression and an easy opportunity to exploit the situation for the Progressive Agenda, Barrack Obama has chosen to “turn the page” on FDR style leadership to be the wimp that he is! 

So when the GOLDMAN SACHS 2008 (and perhaps 2012) PAC winner gets re-elected instead of those nasty horrible Republicans I mentioned above, we Democrats can all pat ourselves on the back with a glowing sense of great accomplishment!

WE SHOWED THEM!

After all no real progressive had the guts to stand up in a primary fight with Obama!

It is going to be great the next four years with Obama as president!

1. He can kiss Joe Lieberman’s ass some more!
2. While the banksters run amok with our nation as too big to fail still remains.
3. Usury reigns supreme!
4. We will soon reach full employment by middle class Americans  knowing our place in the corporate sandbox and working at Walmart wages.

Yes Sir we will show those damn Republicans by re-electing Barrack Obama! Lead by our glorious Democratic Party under Barrack Obama, who it turns out was never from Kenya but from the linage of GOLDMANS SACHS!

The great Democratic Party, the successors of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, will all be ecstatic with orgasmic ecstasy as Barrack Obama does his youth stlye hip hop to the podium to compromise and undermine everything that FDR did and stood for with his crippled legs. While Europeans will laugh but true Obama believers will all rise and call this “CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”!

Yes my friends ONLY IN AMERICA! ONLY IN AMERICA!

While we are all happy that President Obama finally found “some” testosterone he just does not want to take responsibility for his lack of mojo over the last three years! Obama seems to have amnesia when it comes to the progressive agenda. Well until now! Recently he gave a speech (see video below) where he questioned how some could have “amnesia”.

“After everything that’s happened, there are people in Washington who seem to have collective amnesia. They seem to have forgotten how we got in this mess. They want to go back to the very same policies that got us into it. Same policies that stacked the deck against middle class Americans for years”.

Currently I am reading a box called “Pity The Poor Billionaire” by Thomas Frank. The author raves that unlike 1929 when the nation was on the brink of revolt; today people actually seem to believe the real issue is how we can best help our social betters!

Mr. Frank’s bewilderment is almost the same as President Obama’s! The answer is simple!

Americans are stupid! Yes I can say that I am not running for political office! Our society not only suffers from “trickle-down economics” but the parasitic schema of “Trickle Down Identity”.

But how can this be after the debacle of 2008! Everyone knows that the Republicans took us from a budget surplus under President Clinton to ruin as National Guard deserter George Bush played field marshal in Iraq!

Why Our Nation Has Amnesia

The first reason is that most Democrats don’t want to face their own cognitive dissonance and accept the fact that our party has joined the Republican party to serve the corporatists agenda! Republicans outright while Democrats play liberal inside the corporate sandbox! Bill Clinton was part of this and we have to stop closing our eyes!

Bank deregulation and globalization advanced under President Bill Clinton and then exploded under George Bush. Congress is bought! When both parties go to bed with the CUT AND RUN CORPORATISTS that off shore our jobs, technology and future to our future military rival China, and no party stands up to this the answer is simple!

Democratic politicians have “testosterone reduction induced Amnesia” from “playing liberal” inside the moneyed confines of he corporate sandbox! 

Stop making excuses and looking the other way while Democrats play this game! Obama’s re-election will not solve this problem! We need a birth of “Middle Class Consciousness” in America! The silent majority needs to stand up to these effete snobs of privilege! 

Our corporate news media don’t challenge us but instead look the other way while the right wing continues the false charges of a pro-liberal news media bias!

As ST Augustine warns us that our decision making processes are corrupted!

One does not decide to commit a major crime outright! First smaller decisions are made and these then skew the evaluation processes to go further down the wrong path making worse decisions possible.

Democrats have started us down this faulty road by looking the other way as K-Street influenced the political decision making processes of our society. “Amnesia” – yes because even today most progressives don’t want to face the facts that our hero Bill Clinton was a part of this processes! Our society also has to face that some of our assumptions are wrong.

The “free market” does not always translate into “our freedom”! But instead we sit back and accept the bromides to lull us into “amnesia”!

The Schema Of Trickle Down Identity

As I have said in a prior post our nation does not simply suffer from “trickle down economics” but “trickle down identity”.

Our society perpetuates certain trans-generational parasitic belief structures!

1. The well-being of our social betters, the so called “job creators”, must be our prime concern!
2. Their freedom to receive dividend income from the work of their ancestors and/or their current lavish employment compensation’s translation into stocks, must come over the security of our income from paychecks!
3. The right of my social betters to enhance and increase their dividend income steam by off shoring and increasing the competition for American jobs pre-empts my right to a paycheck income!
4. The “innovation” of sending Apple jobs to China where some workers have committed suicide because of low pay, seven day work weeks and unsafe work environments is a the mark of a true entrepreneurial spirit! If you don’t like this then you can vote with your meager dollars for other products! This is called “FREEDOM”! Yes indeed the FREEDOM TO SERVE OUR SOCIAL BETTERS! To believe otherwise is unpatriotic!
5. Our social betters have the right to put their dividend incomes in the Cayman Islands and Swiss Bank Accounts! Maybe if we middle class Americans would just know our place then they would bring their dividend incomes back to America and grace us with minimum wage jobs!

The above are the values that have been internalized and accepted by most Americans! These assumptions must be exposed in the light of day! They can never be as long as Progressives do not face their cognitive dissonance and existential anxiety that Bill Clinton was a part of this along with George Bush!

The Democratic Party has “played liberal” inside the moneyed confines of the corporate sandbox long enough! All of the above is historical! Now the reason why the meme of ”Trickle Down identity” continues! The answer is  BARRACK OBAMA!

Barrack Obama Contributed To The Amnesia He Complains About

Barrack Obama was the 2008 winner of the Goldman Sachs PAC! If dollars are votes then Barrack Obama was their guy in 2008. Dear reader stop practicing amnesia. Click on the link above I have provided from opensecrets.org!

Barrack Obama did not push for real investigations into the Federal Reserve and the banking cartel. Barrack Obama spoke about “turning the page”! Three years into his presidency is a little late to begin initiating an investigation!

Barrack Obama chose to resign from the Presidential bully pulpit and allowed instead the Tea Party to control the definition of issues and the battlefield.

The ONLY reason he now shows some testosterone is because of the Occupy Wall Street Movement!

Barrack Obama has been the champion of Amnesia!

He has served his masters in Goldman Sachs well and played liberal while never really pushing for “change we can believe in”! Barrack Obama has just discovered people are suffering from unemployment. Even if the trickle rate of growth continues it will be YEARS before we are back to before the crash! I know he is not God and I do not fault him for the economy. I fault him for “playing liberal” instead of being liberal.

We never had a real stimulus and now information challenged Americans believe that Keynesian Economics does not work because Obama:

1. Never gave us a real stimulus package three years ago.
2. Surrendered the bully pulpit to the Tea Party who have now defined the issue as debt reduction!
3. Tea Party rage has become the “model” for change as Obama was to busy being a Rogerian Facilitator instead of being an FDR style leader for “change we can believe in”!

Don’t get amnesia friends! Remember we were told that the PRIOR stimulus had shovel ready projects that would turn the nation around! Yet we spent more money on AIG than infrastructure!

OBAMA HAS AMNESIA

President Barrack Obama has forgotten his base and has forgotten about “CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”! Because he did not remind Americans day and night about the “lessons of history” we now have amnesia concerning how Keynesian economics got us out of the depression!

We cannot have “change we can believe in” unless the assumptions I listed above are brought out in the open and challenged. To do so does NOT require a super-majority in Congress! It requires only one person! That person is the President of the United States! He alone has the bully pulpit!

Barrack Obama has failed also because he did not become an “ACTION FIGURE”! Americans will always choose the action figure over the wimp. Even if the action figure advocates positions that are against people’s interest! Why? Because Americans see weakness without testosterone!

But wasn’t Ronald Reagan successful while being nonaggressive? Yes Reagan was friendly in his speeches but he was active! Reagan constantly pushed his message. Obama is passive!

Again I repeat. I don’t care if Obama did not get one law passed!

Why I am angry at Obama is because he did not even try! He did not rally the nation to attack the assumptions that I have listed above! Barrack Obama spent years being a Rogerian Facilitator kissing Joe Liebermann’s butt and making nicey to Republicans when he should have been out in the streets as a 21^st Century FDR!

I refuse to vote for Obama simply because he is the better of the two. Actually if we had a Republican President then Democrats in Congress would be tougher! My God what will Obama give away if he is re-elected? Senator Bernie Sanders was correct in the video clip I showed in the prior post. He noticed that Obama was speaking about cutting Medicare and Social Security! For Christ’s sake pensions are becoming a thing of the past! When Obama started there was talk about expanding union memberships by legalizing the “card check method”.

Now because Obama has demonstrated such weakness we now see unions fighting for their very existence!

“Change We Can Believe In” starts with a shake up of the underlying assumptions that prevent it. Legislation is merely the after glow!

Barrack Obama resigned from the most important de-facto position of the presidency! That of “pontifex maximus” to define the issues. To use the bully pulpit. Obama valued playing liberal inside the corporate sandbox and being a rogerian facilitator instead of using his feared oratorical skills like FDR did. Obama choose to have testosterone reduction induced amnesia and forgot about “change we can believe in”!

Yes it is fine that Obama got Bin Laden. But domestically I want Obama to fire a cruise missile targeted to go up  Joe Liebermann’s ass! Let’s make some Santorum froth splash all over the Tea Party by a direct cruise missile hit on Liebermann butt! 

 

God damn it I am sick of Tea Party folks thinking they have a monopoly and an “entitlement”  on rage! Obama should have called for an investigation of the banks years ago and pushed to break up the financial cartel. Instead we got wimpy financial reforms while banks paid off their federal loans by continuing the practice of USURY!

I will not practice testosterone reduction induced AMNESIA! I will not call this “Change We Can Believe In”!

Do you really think that the winner of the Goldman Sachs Pac campaign funding of 2008 is really going to push for a serious investigation of the financial cartel or merely a dressing down of their CEO’s!

Obama needs to get a fire under his butt and apologize to his base! Even better do the patriotic thing! Step aside and let Senator Bernie Sanders or Howard Dean lead the party to victory in 2012!

Yes I did like that President Obama was more forceful in his “state of the union speech”. Sure he has been victimized by Republicans and the nut job birthers. But if President Obama kept his eye on the goal of the Progressive agenda from the start of his administration instead of how best he could kiss Joe Liebermann’s ass, I believe Republicans would not have been so successful with their filibusters! Obama practically trained the Tea Party and the GOP on how best to succeed. Remember we actually had a super majority in the Senate back when Obama took office!

What Obama Needs To Learn To Receive This Progressive’s Vote

I am fed up with making excuses for Barrack Obama. Again I understand he was confronted with nut jobs from the Tea Party accusing him on not being an American. The problem with Obama is that he did not call these nuts out as insane from day one! That only reinforced their zany behavior.

The progressive agenda needs an FDR not a Rogerian Facilitator!

Obama has never understood that to have “change you can believe in” you have to become the “campaigner – in – chief”  to change values! This is what Republicans feared most about Obama, that he is a great orator!  His recent state of the union speech proved it. Yes he is a great orator so why did we have to wait till three years into his presidency to hear him become forceful?

But there is more. To be a successful as President and create “change we can believe in” President Obama needs to learn something very important!

That lesson is:

The passage of bold legislation in Congress is the function of a massive public outcry from a populist movement that can be from the ground up or pushed by a President who uses the bully pulpit! Presidents are in effect the “Pontifex Maximus” of the nation. They “define” the issues! When a President stands by and only operates to create a Congressional consensus change occurs instead  at the “initiative” of corporate funding. We need a liberal Pontifex Maximus, a modern leader like FDR not a Rogerian Facilitator!

The issue facing our nation today and the Democratic Party is:

Republicans will naturally attend to the wishes of their corporate sponsors! We know that! But Democrats are “confining” their liberalism to becoming actors! Democrats are “playing liberal” inside the moneyed confines of the CORPORATE SANDBOX!

Doubt me? The time has come for us to challenge certain assumptions out in the open! This challenge to underlying assumptions must be lead by a President who has guts and is not afraid to use the bully pulpit.

What are these assumptions that Americans accept without question?

1. Corporations have the right to move their assets abroad! We should not “just” reward corporations that keep jobs in America we need to penalize those CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS who ship our wealth abroad. This wealth is not their God given right! It was produced in America and is subject to this society’s permission before it can be shipped abroad.
2. Free Enterprise means “freedom”. This is yet another example of what I term “trickle down identity“! “Free Enterprise” does not always mean our freedom! That we want to reward innovation is true. Being rich is not a sin. But being rich by an UNPATRIOTIC means cannot be tolerated any longer in this 21st century! Nor can the “innovation” of slave labor and an unsafe work environment be rewarded by a value oriented society.
3. Compensation is always fair. ”If you are rich you entirely earned it”.  No not always. We tolerate the wild compensation packages of some. That is why a progressive income tax is just a value oriented society’s way of saying “reality is calling”! Further some of the super-rich’s only claim to wealth is that it was be inherited. Those who inherit  huge wealth, in effect inherit  ”perpetual unearned incomes from the work of their dead ancestors“! They then believe that they have an “entitlement”! Yes an “entitlement” to increase their unearned dividend check at the expense of your “pay check”! They call this “freedom”!
4. The Inheritance Tax On The Rich Is A Death Tax!  No in this great land of self determination of self made individuals that conservatives term “American Exceptionalism”, we don’t want the children of the rich to be crippled by a nanny trust! After all this is a land of equal opportunity where anyone can, if  left to themselves with gosh darn doggedness, rise to be rich! That is what defines “American Exceptionalism“! To cripple the children of the rich with a “nanny trust” is to lack faith in American Exceptionalism and our ever glorious free market system to reward ruggard individualism,  persistence, initiative and innovation! Therefore let the funds from great estates be taxed to provide “equal opportunity” via reduced costs of higher education to all. Don’t call it a “Death Tax” but rather call it an “AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM PRESERVATION TAX”!
5. Liberals Want A Welfare State! No we progressives want a “Social Contract State” that “values” real persons over corporations and challenges all of the assumptions above!
6. Rage is only justified for the mindless viewers of FoxNews! We hear it constantly since Obama became President. When real single payer universal health  care wasn’t being undermined by Obama and Lieberman we had the rage from  the Tea Party at town hall meetings! Republicans seem to believe they have a “right to rage” and that their primary should be won by the candidate who satisfies this need to rage! We liberals are fed up! Perhaps owning a gun is a good idea in an age when Halliburton can have private militias!
7. The news media has a liberal biases! Wrong we have the corporate news-media not the liberal news media. Check out the posts under “Conservative news media biases” that I have on this blog. One in particular drives me nuts. The way the corporate news media destroyed Howard Dean’s candidacy by labeling him a nut just because he gave an enthusiastic yell to his followers. The result was the corporate news media pushed the lackluster John Kerry to win the primary. I remember Rick Santorum giving a similar yell but the corporate news media did not attack him!. You can also check mediamatters.org for numerous instances of anti-liberal news media biases!

Could I vote for Obama? I still have some problems with President Obama. I liked that he was forceful in the state of the union speech but:

1. President Obama  still spoke about compromising on social security if millionaires paid more taxes. Listen to Senator Bernie Sanders in the first video above.
2. He still seems to believe job training is the answer when even our white collar technical jobs are going to China and other nations. Yes he did address this issue some what. But I only heard about ‘carrots” for the CUT AND RUN CORPORATIONS that will return. I did not hear about punishments for those Cut and Run Capitalists who don’t want to invest in the nation that gave them their birth, profits and protection! Barrack Obama must end this age of licentious permissiveness and force these effete snobs of privilege to be just stewards of this nation’s capital. Instead terms like “tariff increase” are not part of Barrack Obama’s vocabulary! But then again we don’t want to anger big campaign contributors!
3. He still seems to believe we have achieved financial reform. But where is the prohibition against usury? Sure now they have to tell you that you are being screwed. But how about ending usury – period.
4. Obama wants to investigate the banks so we can “turn the page“! Gee I heard that line when he passed up investigating the Bush administration for their role in the financial meltdown and our involvement in Iraq. It’s  2012 not 2009 and I am frankly tired of making excuses for Barrack Obama.
5. I did not hear any call for a constitutional amendment to achieve the separation of corporation and state!
6. Even if he did all the above he still needs to become “campaigner – in – chief” for “change we can believe in“! He can do that by making  forceful speeches all over this nation, day in and day out. If we have a rise in “middle class consciousness” then the effect will be to have legislation that brings “change we can believe in”!

Why? Because at least he would have tried and he would have made in roads into some of the core Republican talking points that a latter president could benefit from.

I will say this again! American love action figures! To be an initiator of change the American electorate demands TESTOSTERONE!  The message is not internalized unless the “messenger” exhibits testosterone because Americans have a self image as being action oriented and despise wimps! If you doubt this ask why “liberals” now term themselves as “progressives”! The former term was neutered of testosterone by Republicans and by liberal masochism. But that is for another post.

“Barrack Obama OR Change We Can Believe In”!
