Middle Class Populist

Yes from the state that gave us Mayor Daly, now comes “Governor Blagojevich”! Damn I wish this was some news from Byelorussia or Ukraine! What I hope is that President – Elect Obama does not get tarnished by this.

President – Elect Obama has said he did not talk to Blagojevich about his replacement. Yet Blagojevich castigates Obama, which is good for Obama, yet it contradicts Obama’s saying he did not talk to Blagojevich! I fear that in trying to disassociate from Blagojevich Obama may have denied all contacts.

It is PERFECTLY permissible and indeed proper for Obama to speak to Blagojevich about his replacement. After all if the Governor is going to nominate someone to replace him then who better to give a recommendation then the person who won the seat in an election!

I can just hear the Republicans new Christmas song, “Acorns roasting on a Chicago fire, FBI knocking at his door”! We don’t need any more innuendo. I am sure this makes their Christmas. Oh hell comes the new year and CAMELOT will rise again!

George Bush, you remember him now? You know the guy who is still the President of the United States but enjoys letting the news of the economic crises being “paired” with Barrack Obama speaking on the news, would love to have this economic crisis not be laid at his feet. Make no mistake about it the Republican would love to use this political corruption case to add one more to their senate totals.

Has anyone heard of George Bush completing his National Guard requirements when he was younger! Why cannot the news media talk about that before he leaves office? I know i showed the above video before but pass it on to your friends. The Legacy Of George Bush!

We hear the whine from these wild eyed advocates of the Neo-con SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq that the Democrats are against our troops! These bleeding hearts of appeasement to Corporate America that continues to trade with Iran, while that nation sends supplies to kill our brave troops, do not even have faith in our troops! The US State Department uses Backwater to protect embassy staff rather than fully using our Marines and Army.  (See Video Below that lists an incident over a year ago that still has not been corrected)

When Democrats point out that this is a civil war and that much of the recent reduction in violence was the result of low level diplomatic talks with Sunni Militias to have them switch sides, the Republicans then said that the Democrats where trying to demean our troops. Yet it has been over a year now since a report from NBC News stated that we are not giving our troops the latest in body armor to protect them! (See the video below)

Not to mention the scandal concerning Walter Reed Hospital and our injured veterans, nor the recent attempts by Bush and his fellow travelers in the republican party to limit benefits to our troops!

In this era of licentious permissiveness where the effete snobs of corporate America do business with Iran, trading valuable technology that can be used against our brave troops, the time has come for the Republicans to learn the lessons of history! Profit must not be allowed to come before our troops!

Yet George Bush, John McCain and their fellow travelers continue to attack Barrack Obama for saying he would first “talk” to Iran. Apparently it is alright for Halliburton to have a subsidiary in Iran while it profits from the War in Iraq and General Electric was not stopped when they sold valuable technology to Iran! The type of “talking” that benefits the effete snobs of the “Corporate Class” is perfectly permissible to John McCain and his mentor George Bush!

The time has come for America’s Silent Majority, our Middle Class to stand up and say NO to those who say politics ends at our shores but corporate profits do not!

George Bush who is so incompetent that he cannot win a war in the same time that we won a World War, now has undermined Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos”! By opening his big mouth he has forced Democrats to join hands around Senator Barrack Obama. Even Hillary Clinton, who was a fellow traveler with George Bush on the Road To Bagdad has been forced to come to Obama’s aid! Senator Clinton has now to distinguish between a trait that one union leader praised her for humorously, “Testicular Fortitude”, to downright “Bunker Naivete”. See the hilarious video below! Perhaps Hillary Clinton will accept Rush Limbaugh’s script for her and use the mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky as a “National Redoubt”.! (See Video Below).

Since Hillary Clinton has defended Obama in his position, that talking to one’s enemies is not the same as appeasement, she has undermined two of her arguments against Senator Obama!

1. That he is not Presidential and capable of being Commander In Chief.
2. That he is an appeasr. Senator Obama has proven that he is not an appeaser nor a roll over to Republican attacks.

With the news focusing around Bush vs. Obama and George Bush’s third term surrogate John McCain, the Democratic Primary process has been put into the background and Obama is now perceived as the party standard bearer! Well that is unless Hillary Clinton “Bunkers Down” as in the video above!

I believe it is possible that both Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton could get sucked into the Iraq War based on their statements. This blogger is a Lou Dobbs Democrat. I am neither a PC Liberal nor a Neo-Con Conservative. This blog is to demonstrate that America has a “third choice” not only in the Iraqi War but in other domestic and foreign policy issues as well! I see a problem in that the Democrats have accepted implicitly some assumptions of the Republicans. The Republicans argue that we must remain in Iraq because:

• • Leaving would result in a bloodbath.
  • The terrorists would win.
  • Even if we should not have gone into Iraq we are there now. They use a slogan, “If you break the cookie jar you now have to fix it”.

If we buy into this logic then we must “fix” 1500 years of Shiite – Sunni strife in Iraq! No, that is not our responsibility! We are not obliged to conduct a SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq! We can give them a government as we have then high tail it out! Make no mistake about it the terrorists are winning! Al Qaeda Central is rebuilding in the Pakiststani – Afghan border country and we are doing nothing to prevent an attack on our homeland while George Bush and his fellow travelers engage in this neo-con social engineering experiment in Iraq!

The Republicans have a strange logic especially when there is a genocide going on right now in Darfur! But does anyone care? When we leave Iraq, and we will, if there is a genocide in Iraq we can have the news media mimic their coverage of the Darfur genocide! What about the genocide being conducted right now by the government of Myanmar against their own people? Are we going to land troops there? Using the Republican’s logic, our troops should be in both Darfur and Myanmar!

If the government of Myanmar changed their response to receiving aid, would we mount a massive effort to save these people? Check the video below from MSNBC which says we are sending them pittance!

The Democratic response should be, regardless of an Iraqi blood bath, full speed ahead with our withdrawal. The problem is they don’t say that. Instead they say a bloodbath will not happen! Fine what happens when it most likely does occur! My point is who cares! Just do a DARFUR on an Iraqi bloodbath! The Republicans seem to have no problem with the blood bath in Darfur! Remember the movie/tv show called “Star Trek”? Well our continued presence in Iraq is a violation of the PRIME DIRECTIVE! When we leave the Arab League can then take over the protection of the Sunni’s and no doubt Iran will protect the Shiites! The two sides can talk or fight it out! That is their problem not ours! As I mentioned I am NOT a PC Liberal. I believe the War in Iraq was justified based on the knowledge we had. Even then the world is better without Saddam Hussein in power.

We should have just put a friendly general in charge who would bring Iraq up to the HIGH DEMOCRATIC STANDARDS of the Mideast! No doubt the Saudis, Syrians, Golf States and even Egyptians are all behind our social engineering experiment in Iraq! These nations want Iraq to be raised to their high standards of democracy! This logic is as pathetic as George Bush’s military record in the National Guard!

Let’s turn to the removal of our troops from Iraq! I would conduct the withdrawal differently from either Barrack Obama or Hillary Clinton’s proposals. We should leave Iraq fast in the following manner:

1. Build a transportation center near the Iraqi – Kuwaiti border in the dessert. Establish a death zone around it. Use helicopters and aircraft to clean a buffer zone around this American Redoubt!
2. Once this is readied call for a COMPLETE TOTAL WITHDRAWAL from the rest of Iraq to our safe haven. No BS it took us several weeks to occupy Iraq that is all it should take to move to the SAFE ZONE!
3. Any interference to our withdrawal should be met with EXTREME DEADLY FORCE. We have “Shock and Awe Technology” we should use it. If needed level Sadir City to the ground!
4. Oh yes I forgot! We should declare “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”!

A smart general knows his strengths and weakness! We are good at “Shock and Awe”! We will continue to be as long as our very own cut and run corporations don’t continue to sell our technology to the enemies of America like ITT which pleaded guilty to doing! However unless we desire to place 700,000 troops in Iraq and secure the Iraqi border from Iran we will not be successful in an extended occupation! Do we want to pay the price? We must set our priorities, we must fight the war on terrorism in the Al Qaeda homeland which is in Afghanistan and Pakistan not Iraq!

By removing ourselves from Iraq we can regain our military strength to fight the war on terrorism in Afghanistan! Oh yes maybe we could even secure our borders, ports and airports! Well I believe the American Middle Class would rather see the above secured ahead of the “Emerald City” inside Bagdad!

While George Bush and his fellow traveler John McCain lecture us on the virtues of the coming “One Hundred Year War” our nation sadly passed a grim milestone. We have now lost over 4,000 dead. These are the military regulars and reservists who did not emulate their Commander in Chief by not attending their required National Guard Meetings but instead took the call up to active duty. Some even serving four tours in Iraq. Imagine if they did a “George Bush” and did not attend their National Guard meetings as required by law?

Mean while let’s look at the great “fruits” of the Republican SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT that McCain would like to continue for one hundred years! Why look who is coming to dinner! (See the Video Below)

Look who is landing in Bagdad in the video above! Why if that isn’t the ever cuddly Iranian President Ahmadinejad who is arming militias in Iraq to kill our troops! Where is he pray tell? Why he is visiting his chum the Prime Minister of Iraq, al-Maliki! But then again he is only returning the favor as al-Maliki has visited him!

• This is what we are fighting for!
• This is what our nation has sacrificed its’ brave troops for!
• This is what the Social Engineering Experts in the Republican Party have wasted our resources on while our own CIA tells us that the next attack from Al Qaeda will come from the Al Qaeda homeland in the Pakistani – Afghan border country!
• But the Iraqis want us to leave! This according to a poll taken by our own State Department!
  
• The Iraqi President wants us to go! What do Bush and his fellow traveler McCain not understand?
  

Yet John McCain who doesn’t give a krap about the genocide in Darfur and doesn’t even care about CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS who are investing in Vietnam, the nation that once tortured him, lectures us about turning a blind eye to the Al Qaeda Homeland in the border regions of Pakistan and even vows to follow Al Qaeda to hell and back but not to their homeland! Yet he criticizes Barrack Obama for wanting to take strategic high tech action where it would count!

Senator McCain is so afraid about genocide in Iraq! When will he and his fellow travelers ever learn you cannot impose democracy on those who are not ready for it! Oh my I made a anti-war statement and a politically incorrect one at that! – Good this is a blog by a progressive Democrat not a knee jerk PC Liberal.

Let’s understand something. Four thousand troops dead for a vital war is actually very small. We lost far more in the Civil War and World War II. But can you imagine five years after the fall of Berlin and that city still having snipers? Can you imagine Germany in 1950 with key cities falling into the hands of insurgents?

That is the situation we have today because we never had enough troops to perform an occupation. But then why should we? Remember MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? As this REPUBLICAN SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT continues to divert us from the War on Terror and our economy is falling from carrying this unnecessary war debt, let us take heart that under our President Taliban opium production in Afghanistan is at record world levels. This drug money will be used by the REAL Al Qaeda in their homeland in next door Pakistan! With this opium money financing renegade Pakistani nuclear scientists and training camps in the Al Qaeda homeland of border Pakistan we can look forward to a mushroom cloud over our cities. So enjoy the diversion in Iraq. But don’t worry just look at the great work George Bush did securing our national borders and ports! Now you can sleep peacefully at 3AM!

The time has come for America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class to stand up and stop this social engineering experiment in Iraq and return to the War on Terrorism! God Bless America!

I listened tonight to the Democratic Debate in Texas. The debate was co-hosted by CNN and a Spanish language cable channel “Univision”. What amazed me is that neither candidate put the moderator from Univision in his place!

What “place” is that you ask?

Why the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

The Univision reporter asked both candidates why America should not become a bi-lingual nation. Both Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton seemed to apologize for desiring to keep English as the “language that binds us together” but not the “Official Language”. They then pitifully spoke about how great it is to speak a second language. If I were one of the candidates I would have told the Univision reporter that bilingualism has no place in America and he should take pride in our American culture and heritage. If he has a problem with that why not return to Latin America and we would pay his plane fare.

I am sick of the “racism” that some Latino activist groups show. I have family in Italy! The current immigration laws were actually passed because many in America feared our nation was losing it’s northern European identity and wanted to restrict the flow of darker skinned Italians into our nation. Yet many Latino groups seem to believe they have an “entitlement” to cross our borders and our nation has to assimilate to them rather than the other way around! This is arrogant racism! What gives Mexicans the right to enter America ILLEGALLY while my distant kinfolk in Italy have to obey the law and wait? My grand parents had to learn English. There were no ballots printed in Italian and that is the way it should be.

I realize that most illegal aliens in this nation are decent hardworking people who want to have the “privilege” of becoming Americans. The problem is corporations that foster bilingual ATM machines in order to make a buck! I would have no problem with an eventual amnesty under an “Alien Assimilation Act” whereby:

1. A REAL border fence would be built. As Congressman Duncan Hunter said if you can cross this fence we will sign you up for our Olympic Team. Pop psychology talks about “boundary issues” when dealing with interpersonal problems. Nations must have secure boundaries and no guilt in enforcing them.

2. Employers would be really required to validate Social Security numbers and legal status. Those companies that try to undermine American workers must be fined heavily and even serve some jail time.

3. Anchor babies would be outlawed! If your parents are here illegally then the baby is not American!

4. English would be made the overt Official Language and all bi-lingual education would be outlawed!

5. Voting would be solely in English. Since they are required to learn English why are ballots printed in foreign languages?

6. Once the above conditions were meet and the real fence that Duncan Hunter talks about was built, not just voted on, then we could proceed to an Amnesty!

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton seemed to be pandering to the Texan Latino vote. In doing so they endanger their support from America’s Silent Majority! What really drives Americans insane is this racist ideas and concepts of:

· “Entitlement” by some Latino groups. If you don’t like America then LEAVE! As I mentioned I don’t believe most illegal Aliens share the beliefs of the activists.

· “Earned Citizenship”, No it is not earned citizenship if you broke the law and came here illegally! Are they better than my kinfolk who are waiting in Italy and others in third world nations around the world who wait and go through the legal requirements!

· “We have to fix Mexico”. This idea which was backed by both democratic candidates purports that it is America’s responsibly to fix the Mexican economy so that Mexicans can stay at home. No it is the responsibly of Mexico to deal with her sovereign economy! We are not the “Great Decider” or “Great Fixer” of the world.

· “Path to legalization“. No just call it “Amnesty”! Being phony does not help the issue. We are a nation of laws but our legal system does provide for “mercy”.

I am a populist Lou Dobbs Democrat. Unless Lou Dobbs runs for President I will vote for the Democratic ticket as I believe the issue of illegal immigration can be handled after the election. Besides both George Bush and John McCain have views almost identical to Obama and Clinton.

The time has come for America’s Silent Majority, our great Middle Class, which includes all races, to stand up and defend our national identity and Sovereignty!

I am sure we are all touched by the great patriotism of Mitt Romney, first who wants to send your sons and daughters to fight in Iraq while his sons stay home to fight the wicked forces of liberalism by supporting their dad in his political campaign. Well that is till now when CUT AND RUN CAPITALIST Mitt Romney dropped out of the Presidential race because he did not want to loose countless millions more of his own money!

God he made that stupid speech to the conservatives. You can sense at how shallow even they see him now! John McCain has not hidden his emotions concerning Romney. McCain is a “mere multimillionaire”. John McCain as a “mere multimillionaire” cannot self finance his own campaign. National campaigns are far too expensive even for those with John McCain’s resoureces! Mitt Romney is somewhere above the one hundred million mark. If Mitt Romney did not drop out, then since he has a large number of sons, they might be reduced to “mere multimillionaires”! Oh the loss! If Mitt Romney really believed he is helping our troops who are risking far more than being reduced to “mere multi-millionaires” then he would fight on!

What is really pathetic is the Vietnam era type language that Romney and his fellow travelers in the Republican Party are using. They act as if those who want to bring our troops home from Iraq are making America unsafe! This blogger is not a knee jerk PC Liberal. Hell I even supported the war initially and still think the world is better without Saddam Hussein. But we never had the troops levels to conduct a SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq!

Can you imagine it is 1949 and Munich were to revert to control of the Nazis or Kyoto to revert to Japanese Imperialists? Well that is the situation we are in now in Iraq! We should have turned over control to a friendly General who gave lip service to democracy. Hell we have no problem now do we with capital investments and technology transfers to China or Vietnam? Tell me is that what our troops died for in Vietnam so CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS could ship America’s financial and technological resources to our enemies in China and even VIETNAM while they make a profit? Yet the bleeding hearts of the Republican party whine for these corporations that forsake their “American Identity” to now self style themselves as “Multinational Corporations”. Are China and VIETNAM democracies? Oh maybe China and Vietnam are the “role models” of Bush type Democracy that the CUT AND RUN CAPITALIST$ want Iraq to emulate! Now I $ee, don’t you?

Just look at the accomplishments of the Republicans under Bush. Don’t forget under the first six years they also controlled both Houses of Congress. What did they do to preserve our Homeland?

• They are not supporting our troops in Afghanistan. Opium production is at an all time high while Al Qaeda in Afghanistan is gaining strength. Next door in Pakistan rogue radical Islamic nuclear scientists can now team their knowledge with Afghan opium money and Al Qaeda operatives as their “delivery system”! But what worry over a mushroom cloud over our cities? Hell no Iraq is so much more important!
• Our nation’s borders are wide open. No need to worry terrorists can now use trucks to cross our borders from Mexico!
• Al Qaeda operatives don’t have to swim the ocean instead George Bush and his fellow travelers wanted to surrender our ports to the United Arab Emirates. You know the nice folks who allowed centrifuges to go through their nation to Pakistan and made the Pakistani bomb possible! Portfolio Security not port security is the slogan of the Republicans!
• While the Port deal was killed none the less there is no serious screening for bombs and nuclear material at our ports and Airports.
• Halliburton, the great role model of CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS is moving their CEO to Dubai. They even have a subsidiary in Iran!

The time has come for America’s Silent Majority; our great Middle Class (and those who aspire to be) to support Individual Freedom from it’s subjugation to the agenda of the effete snobs of Corporate Collectivism!

God Bless The Middle Class!

God Bless America!

Stand Up For America against these effete snobs of CUT AND RUN CAPITALISM!

Well it appears that while George Bush and his fellow travelers continue to involve our nation in their “social engineering” experiment in Iraq, our national preparation level has sunk to an all time low! Well look at the bright side at least our nation’s ports are not being managed by the United Arab Emirates. Thank God George Bush was not able to advance the cause of upper class “portfolio security” ahead of “port security”! Our Army Reserve and National Guard are being bled dry in Iraq years after “Mission Accomplished” while opium production is reaching all time high levels in Afghanistan and that nation falls further into Al Qaeda control! The combination of opium profits for Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, renegade nuclear scientists in Pakistan and our unsecured borders do not seem to upset the “Great Decider” and his minions in the Republican Party.

But the above report should come as no surprise as even our nation’s readiness for a natural disaster from hurricanes is at stake and was discussed in Congress last April. (See the Video Below).

Some members of the Vermont Legislature have decided to pass a bill that would declare President Bush’s authorization to call up the Vermont National Guard to be void as the authorization was for a mission that was already accomplished! Senator McCain apparently does not know about “Mission Accomplished”. Al Qaeda in Afghanistan apparently is also not an issue for McCain. The question is for those in the Republican Primary:

What about a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONALIST interpretation of the Constitution? What gives George Bush the right to create a “new unauthorized mission” for our troops? You know the very National Guard and Army Reserve that he never fully attended? McCain and his fellow travelers are going tor the “feels good” solution! The problem is we are a nation of laws. But then again what the hell we have no national borders anyway the laws that regulated them are violated daily? But corporate America needs cheap labor! These right wing fear mongers talk about genocide occurring in Iraq. What about what is going on in:

• Darfur
• Kenya
• And soon perhaps Chad

Yet these “champions of democracy” have turned a deaf ear to the cries of the oppressed in these lands! The time has come for our nation’s middle class to demand accountability from those who hold office in our land!
