Middle Class Populist

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!

I RETRACT THIS POST! I CANNOT SUPPORT HILLARY H1-b CLINTON – “OUR LADY OF NAFTA” !

Senator Joe Biden is doing an EXCELLENT JOB and should stay on the ticket.

(The Above Video Shows Hillary Clinton is no Friend of American Workers)

We are now debating bailing out AIG. That company has undermined American Technology Workers by firing them but letting them stay on to train their foreign replacements!

HILLARY CLINTON HAS BEEN A STRONG SUPPORTER NOT ONLY OF NAFTA BUT H!-b! We don’t need a Republican in Democratic clothing. We already have one Joe Lieberman!

(In the above Video we see Hillary Clintn selling out the dreams of American technology workers to Corporate Interests)

Hillary Clinton wants to keep American computer jobs in America! She just wants to  undermine those who go to computer training to fill them with foreign workers! Just look at what happened at AIG! We have more than enough computer graduates. Hell I would rather have Sarah Palin than Hillary Clinton! Yes I am a liberal Democrat!

While I am a Liberal Democrat and fully support Barrack Obama, I am somewhat amused that John McCain has “harnessed” the winds of “Political Correctness” to reduce Barrack Obama’s lead in the polls! For years we have had to learn the lexicon of Political Correctness, now the Democrats are reaping their Karma! We cannot disagree with a woman else we are sexist pigs!

Barrack Obama while Black is part of a minority group that is only 10% of the population while woman make up over 50 percent! John McCain with one stroke has made the Democrats sink in their own quicksand!

The time has come for Barrack Obama to stop arguing like a lawyer and start kicking ass! Americans like “ACTION FIGURES” not a Democratic Party imitation of Bob Dole! Most Americans feel so overwhelmed by life and their economic situation that they gain a sort of “vicarious sense of empowerment” by Sarah Palin shooting zingers at the Democrats. So what they are undermining their own middle class interests! Oh dear did I say something bad? I used the term “middle class interest”! Dear me I better go and meditate! Oh dear I got angry at the Republicans! Oh Mother Goddesss no, am I going to come back in the next life as a Republican?

<stopping now to meditate and relieve my red karma from my charkas!>

Ok I am back now! But meditate on this:

If our own Democratic Candidates cannot kick ass and defend our goals how can they be trusted to defend America? Barrack Obama better get going and start kicking butt. This is CLASS WARFARE don’t shy away from it! Ok not all upper class folks are bad. Some remember what it was like to struggle and contribute greatly to liberal causes! But the time has come to FIGHT! Damn finally the Democrats are using the term “Middle Class” like Nixon appropriated the term “Silent Majority”! But that is only the start. The disparity in incomes must be advertised! Obama should make McCain be the responder!  SEIZE the initiative Obama or you will Kerry away!

In this era of licentious permissiveness when corporations can shed their American identity, becoming Multi-nationals, even moving their headquarters to remote islands so as to avoid their share of taxes to the nation that gave them birth, succor, protection and profits, America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class demand an end to profits without responsibilty! Stand up for America! Stand up for Social Responsibility for Corporations least we become victims to the new “COLLECTIVISM” which is to say “Corporations”! When Corporate Collectivists get more power Individual Freedom is diminished! Time for Barrack Obama to kick ass!

I believe Democrats have missed the deadly aim of McCain’s Britney Spear ad! By “tagging” Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton to Barrack Obama they are trying to label Barrack Obama as a soft wispy feminine “air head” who lacks “TESTICULAR FORTITUDE” ! It is not just the “celebrity” tag but the underlying linking of Senator Obama as “impotent” when the American public respects macho ACTION FIGURES! Please don’t take this as an insult to Britney Spears! She is every red blooded American man’s dream fantasy. (Just got back to my computer as I had to take a cold shower). But the contest is not Miss America it the Presidency! (See Ad Below)

Next the ad presents differences between Obama and McCain on energy. McCain is pictured as the “action figure” while Obama is falsely portrayed as an “air head” who is wimpy and does not want to TAKE ACTION! That is why we have a Texan as President and this stupid war goes on and on! You would think that since the Democrats have taken control of both Houses of Congress the news media would have aired McCain’s Britney Spears aid to a back drop Democratic Congressional investigations of every aspect of the Iraqi War. Who is making a profit and the decision making process that lead us to this! With control of both Houses of Congress I would have expected impeachment proceedings if not at least “censure” proceedings against both Dick Cheney and George Bush. But instead we hear the wimpy cry of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Harry Reid! “Oh dear we don’t want to put the country though another impeachment or even heavy investagations again …. Whine, whine, whine!

This is why the Democrats and Liberals are such losers! Americans respect ACTION FIGURES! That is why Bush and McCain may yet turn the American public opinion to support the war in Iraq. Karl Rove thumbs his nose at the Congress as did Alberto Gonzales and most Democrats don’t have the stinking guts to go after them or Bush! Again let me repeat a maxim I said some time before in this blog!

As far as the American public is concerned if you “don’t kick ass then you are an ass kisser”! America wants ACTION FIGURES NOT SOY BURGER EATERS!

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid both believe in their hearts these proceedings are correct but they fail to impeach for “political reasons”. That being their over eating of soy tofu and complete lack of “testicular fortitude” (a term invented by a Clinton union leader)! Our nation is loosing it’s Sons and Daughters along with taxes to support the wild eyed Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq while Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid refuse to become ACTION FIGURES! The public knows Democrats lack “testicular fortitude when Democrats cannot even muster the testosterone to act against the George Bush and Dick Cheney! Some Liberals do have the guts like www.Moveon.org but not Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi! . This blogger is going to join them and I hope you do likewise! We need some ads with “Testicular Fortitude” like the one below. Maybe Democrats should have a contest for who can make the best ad showing “Testicular Fortitude”!

Keith Olbermann, whom I deeply respect, mentioned the “celebrity” aspect and McCain being jealous. That is correct but he also said the ad had racist overtones being that it was to subliminally scare people that a Black guys is with two white girls! This is the last thing we Democrats need to get into! Imagine getting side tracked from the issues facing our nation to parse racial overtones into this commercial. That is what Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would argue! That is what Barrack Obama is trying to separate himself from. Karl Rove would love for Barrack Obama to follow Keith Olbermann in saying the Ad is racist! Hell you could argue it makes fun of Nordic woman as both ladies were blond and perceived to be “air heads! If the Republicans could put this country through Clinton’s impeachment for such a friviolous incident why wouldn’t the Democrats stand up for our constitution as our Bill of Rights are being undermined by Bush!

America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class and those who aspire to be, demands the Democrats STAND UP for America and IMPEACH George Bush and Dick Cheney! Yo Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid stop eating the soy burgers and get some testicular fortitude and investigate with public hearings all the nonsense that has been going on for the last seven years!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA IN 2008!

It seems that CBS, that great bastion of liberal news media biases, if you were to believe the ever whining Republican right, has edited their coverage of John McCain so as to not reveal perhaps one of his “senior moments”! Senator McCain seems to have misplaced the time line of the “surge” and a political deal with an Iraqi Sheik! What is worst is that CBS seems to have covered it up. (See Video Below).

What I find even more troubling is that Democrats have repeatedly pointed out that much of the reduction in violence is due to political wheeling and dealing with the various Sunni Sheiks and even militias (Sunni and Shiite) that were once shooting at us! However having such militias is inconsistent with a democracy if that is our goal! But then again we have Black Water there in Iraq and sometimes even on missions in the U.S.

Ah yes we send our troops to die so that:

Government of the Militias,

By the Militias,

And for the Militias will not perish from this earth!

The Democrats keep getting flak when they point out that our goal posts, for the Iraqi Democracy that the Republican SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT is supposed to achieve, keep getting lower and lower! Then the Democrats where attacked as unpatriotic and unsupportive of our troops for not crediting them for the reduction in violence! As if the changing of the militia’s allegiance had nothing to do with it! Aside from the fact that the surge is working but it isn’t the issue (see the following post) we are left with some questions!

• Why is CBS showing pro-conservative news media biases? Just imagine if they edited Obama’s interviews!
• Why is McCain getting away with the myth that he is ready to govern this nation? To be kind he was not having a “senior moment” with the truth that is just a “Republican moment”! Remember “Mission Accomplished” folks?
• Why isn’t the media pointing out how this occupation in Iraq, after five years has not produced results similar to Germany after the fall of the Nazis?

The time has come for Democrats to stop being such God damn wimps and really take on the Republicans and PRO-CONSERVATIVE NEWS MEDIA Biases! By being such wimps on campaign issues they become prey to Republicans smears that Democrats cannot defend America! A wimp is a wimp! Americans support those who talk back! No more John Kerry style campaigns and swift boating!

The Republican Party is once again going to run a smear campaign and “straight talking” John McCain says he doesn’t have any control of the Republican National Committee. When will the Democratic Party get the guts to fight back and stop believing that negative campaigns don’t work? They do work just ask John Kerry! Now we hear that the Republican National Committee is going to go negative and Barrack Obama is setting up a website to counter act the smears! Wow I am impressed – yeah right! The Democrats have got to get in the dirt and fight back hard!

But then again the Democrats won the election in 2006 but did they do anything to stop the war? Hell no! I admit that they would be taking a big gamble if they cut off the funding for the war as Bush and his fellow travelers would use that to paint the Democrats as not supporting the troops! But there are other strategies that the Democrats could use to attack Bush!

1. Impeach George Bush. Congressman Dennis Kucinich is attempting to do this currently. The Republicans had no problem driving this country down the impeachment path when Bill Clinton was the President. Don’t the Democrats have any guts to do the same?
2. Hold extensive in depth hearings concerning how this nation got into the war and if the decision making process was corrupted by George Bush. Congress has the constitutional right to issue subpoenas to accomplish this mandate. They have done some but they don’t have the guts to do more! Why?
3. Hold hearings to at least give George Bush a Congressional Censure concerning changing the “Mission” of the Iraqi Operation from overthrowing Saddam Hussein which was what Congress voted on, to the new mission. That being George Bush’s SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq!
4. Hold extensive hearings into WAR PROFITEERING and how corporate interests influence decision making processes of our Government! Is Nancy Pelosi a complete chicken?
5. George Bush is the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces yet there is no record of his completed service in the National Guard. If the Democrats don’t have the guts to cut off funding for the war because of patriotic issues concerning our troops, don’t the American people have a right to investigate George Bush’s record in the National Guard? <See the video below>

The Democratic Party has turned into wimps! Yes even www.Moveon.org has turned wimpy. They above video was their commercial and they backed away from it! Now the RNC will use smear tactics and the question is, will Obama continue with his plans to run a cordial town hall debate series with John McCain while this is occurring? Have you noticed the flag lapel controversy that has started up just like in the past during the Vietnam War? While I don’t believe one’s patriotism is measured by wearing a flag pin I am glad Barrack Obama did not fall into their trap!

How about the CUT AND RUN CORPORATIONS that have deserted America placing profits over the nation that gave them birth while the BLEEDING HEART REPUBLICANS support them. Such as:

• Halliburton that has a subsidiary in Iran
• ITT that pleaded guilty to selling military technology to China
• General Electric that also is selling equipment to Iran!

What is wrong with the Democrats have they turned into spineless gutless wimps? Time go kick some Republican ass and defend America! This nation’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class demands The Republican Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq come to and end – NOW! Meanwhile opium production is soaring in Afghanistan as is the growth of the Taliban and Al Qaeda central! Our borders are wide open and Bush even wanted to turn over our ports to the United Arab Emirates! Don’t the Democrats have any spine to stand up to Bush?
