If I Lied, I Could Look Good On Paper, Too, Bitch!

I am so Over Mitt (Nit-Wit) Romney, it is not even funny.

If he were just an overbearing and ignorant ass, it'd be one
thing, but his arrogance and his egregious pomposity make
me want to drive up and bitch-slap him in person.

Just got a campaign flier for him in the mail, sent to a mean
old witch who used to live on our property. Y'know...a bitter,
nasty, racist, homophobic, conservative, widowed, bitchy
old woman....the kind loony enough to think Romney looks
good and has character.

So this political mailer touts Rom-Nut as being praised by \
conservative leaders  for his stance on 'Life, Marriage, and
Religious Freedom.' Uh...which stance? You've got a lot of
choices, dumb-asses. Flip-flopping, sorry-ass putz.

The list of less than a dozen nobodies reads like a last-call
in a dark and ugly corner of the candidates-support-group;
presidents of hardcore right-wing nut job groups with three
members, former heads of anti-abortion groups, Catholic
organization officials from specific states, etc. WOW!

It lies about Romney being beside conservatives for four years,
says he took shots to take on politically unpopular 'Christian'
views, etc....Uh, NO...he didn't. He does exactly whatever
is politically expedient at any given moment.

His quote talks about how he wants to be President so he
can be true to HIS faith! Whoa, Nellie! Stop believing
your own press; This is NOT a Christian nation. We don't
need your unholy war spilling any more blood!

Anyway, it's a laugh-riot of how he has been this solid,
staunchly unapologetic conservative Christian and totally
against the "gays and baby-killers and heathens-trying-to-
keep-Baby-Jesus-out-of-the-classroom" for the last 200
years of his immortal lifeless existence, and how he and
his convert have slaughtered the families of five innocent
children and cast spells over them as if they were their own,
blah blah blah.

The problem is, that any supporter of this pair of teeth could
find out what a phony he is in two seconds by viewing his
voting record. They could watch video of him having
conversations when the media wasn't broadcasting and find
out his real personality. (They're all over YouTube.) They
would easily know why he is a dubiously weak link.

But alas, all they can think of is "Get the black guy out
of my White House!" and  "He sure does look and sound
sincere." The Fox-News Illiterati don't much care for facts
and figurin'...just pretty campaign brochures and prettier lies.

We Still Need You, Dr. King

WARNING: Vitriolic language below. Do not read if offended by hate-speech.

A powerful insight, but...

Has the message and the inspiration been lost?

How will most folks commemorate Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.'s birthday recognition? Complaining about no
open government offices? Laying around and doing
nothing of much importance? Perhaps making snide
remarks alongside their buddies, or radio disc jockeys,
or Fox News reporters as to the so-called illegitimacy
of this day and of our current president?

I wish to take the occasion to give tremendous Thanks
to Dr. King,  Coretta Scott King, all those who fought
the good fight as Freedom Riders and Freedom
Fighters, and those who continue the legacy today.
There is still so much to be done.

I feel the sting every day of just how far there is left to
go on the journey.

I hear the rat-a-tat-tat gunfire on my soul as an orchestra
of "nigger-this" and "nigger-that" are barked daily, easily,
repetitively, their issuers incorrectly imagining me a
receptive brother-in-arms of hate and dismissal.

These calloused, thoughtless words owing nothing but
to ignorance; born in, bred in, taught, recycled, imposed,
carried down so ironically triumphantly from the shameful
"don't know no betters" of hate that passes for heritage,
especially in these lowly southern backwoods.

One generation to the next, passing on the familiar
like a treasured family heirloom, defiantly daring someone
to tell them all that they 'know' is wrong. Clutching
dissension like a badge of honor. "Accept me by seeing
how faithful I am in my nonacceptance, Paw!" they seem to
cry out.

Others like them offer up the same withered theories as
to why there is a proper scapegoat--with misinformation
its father--behind every mishap and wrongdoing ever suffered
by these scared and lost boys. They don't even know the
meaning of the words they speak, the lies they spill, the
hate the brew like bathtub gin, ever-more potent and
dangerous the longer it sits and steeps.

A world connected non-stop, all peoples seeing into
one another's lives, across the oceans and across the
barriers of language and time. And still we have pockets of
time-displaced folks who revel in their lack of development,
who seek to know nothing more than what they surround
themselves with. They are as preserved as a mosquito in
amber, as annoying as if still alive and mounting a campaign
of frustrating distractedness.

Like the atrocities of World War II, are we destined to
have the evils of segregation become like fantasy as those
of that generation slowly die off? Will the lessons of Dr. King,
and the need for them still, be forgotten because we no longer
have a breathing reminder of how far we have left to go?

The Circus is in Town

Barnum said there was a sucker born every minute, and I counted
at least 8 minutes worth on the TV screen last night!

Thanks to a conservative local business owner, I was able to view
the Faux News pile-up while sitting in air-conditioned comfort at
a fast food restaurant.

First, let's address the elephant NOT in the room; the shameful
inadmission of Fred Karger, another Republican presidential candidate.
We can have Black Republicans and Women Republicans as long
as they're bat shit crazy or stiff enough to screw Minnie Pearl, but
evidently Queer Republicans is still "oh-so-next-century." gag.

Ron Paul tore up some serious ass, as per usual, and showed the
rest of the clowns how it's done (both with moxy and stance.)

Bachmann disappeared for a while; no one noticed since she left
a wooden dummy with a helium-filled balloon attached in her place.
She then answered a question regarding whether or not her
'submissiveness' to her husband (which she has talked of before)
would play a part if she were President. She side-stepped by saying
that she had a good marriage (if closeted beards and repressed
psycho-sexual rage is your bag,) and that, in an alternate reality if
she were to win the nomination, she would still wear the strap-on.

The Obama-bashing was fierce. Our President needed spiritual
forces to keep him safe last night; the demonizing was in full swing.
Did you know that our current President was responsible for all
wars, the deficit problems, state rights being eroded, a series of rapes
on the upper West side, and most acne? I think someone slipped in
global warming too, but I was so awash from all his other crimes I
may have missed it.

When Bush-League was in his stolen office, no one DARED to
disrespect the man because, you know, cowards and opportunists
go with the flow. It's open season on "O" though, and all the lackeys
are puffing out their peacock chests like they're bad mamma-jammers.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

Romney was Romney, which is to say he looked as pretty as he could
and so did his ever changing answers.

Santorum tried to out-pretty him, and for a mo' I thought they might
do a Glee-inspired mash-up of a Babs song and talk of their struggles
to be so very 'real' in this plastic, plastic world. Or maybe they could have
aired their off-camera kiss.

Santorum tried to appeal for anti-Iran sentiment by--hold on to your
valuables, sweet ones--talking about how the Iranians are horrible to
gay people! Wow. Just...wow...the pair on him. (Well, when he's in a
Fox News crowd of paid-attendee Republican supporters and fellow
ne'er-do-wells.) And of course, the 'Anti-Iran" tangents were--with the
exception of Paul--really just "Obama's bad international policy is making
us vulnerable! NRA unite!"

Gingrich; Still alive? Still telling others how to be morally correct
whilst profiteering and living foul? Oh wait....that's what the Reich lives
for.

Huntsman; Billionaire's son. Out of touch; again, business as usual.

Herman Bain; sounds like "McCain"...because if you close their eyes,
you can't tell there's a diff. Another "Business owners know how to run
a country" moron.

Pawlenty. Yawn.

Ron Paul really is the best of what there is here. There is no way he will ever
win any Republican ticket because he is smart, progressive, realistic on
foreign policy, truthful, moral, and direct. Too bad, really.

The Big Cheese Perry, and his Uber-headcheese, Moose Mess, were
around the way/in the way...trying to steal thunder as usual. They'll
have it...deception rules.

Unless Li'l Jeb Bush throws into it by January. Hmmnnnn.....

That might qualify this as Three Ring.
