Fill people's heads with cliches and appeal to their prejudices and hatreds and you have them by the balls and can squeeze as often and as hard as it pleases your malevolence. It sure helps to expand out of all reason the real threat of any opposing group. That worked with the soviet union and it's working now with the muslim threat. Shades of Orwell's 1984!
Nobody worried about an exponentialy growing national debt while the rethugs were in power and feeding themselves and their cohorts billions in manufactured money. Just let the opposition win a few elections and, WOW! All of a sudden, we're on the edge of apocalypse. The twin towers horror is pushed into the background and a little blip like Benghazi gets blown all out of proprotion as one of the nation's greatest disasters.
What gets me is, people eat it up and regurgitate the putrid crap.
I guess that's enough said this morning. I have useful things to do and this isn't all that good for my blood pressure, except that getting it said helps a bit.

OBAMA NOT BIG SPENDER
The festival of lies goes on and on. Ad after ad put out by lying Republicans tries to paint Obama as a profligate spender.
'Taint so.
Here are the facts, according to official government statistics:
In the 2009 fiscal year -- the last of George W. Bush's presidency -- federal spending rose by a whopping 17.9 % from $2.96 trillion to $3.52 trillion. You can verify those figures at the Office of Management and Budget.
In fiscal 2010 -- the first budget under Obama -- spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion.
In fiscal 2011, spending rose a modest 4.3% to $3.60 trillion.
In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise an even more modest 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Comgressional Budget Office's estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.
In fiscal 2013 -- the final budge of Obama's current term -- spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. See the CBO's latest budget outlook.
Over Obama's four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 billion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4% -- A far cry from the 17.9% increase during Bush's last year.
This is all in contrast to the lies we hear about Obama's profligate spending. People don't realize that the first year of every presidential term starts off with the budget approved by the previous administration and congress. Obama didn't begin to shape budgets until his second year in office. Developing and steering budgets through congress takes a lot of time and effort, especially with a gridlocked congress that openly proclaims its determination to thwart everything that president tries to do to make certain, if at all possible, that he won't be re-elected.
Obama came into office with a budget already in place which called for spending to increase by hundreds of billions of dollars in response to the worst economic and financial disaster since the Great Depression, directly caused by the profligate practices of that previous administration.
As usual, the facts are ignored and the despicable liars blame Obama.

THE LIES ILLUMINATED
I've been branding Romney and Ryan as liars. Some people might take issue with that.
Here's a fact saturated article that states much better than I can exactly why they are liars: http://www.alternet.org/election-2012/10-things-mitt-romney-and-paul-ryan-dont-want-americans-know?page=0%2C1
I hope some people will take the few minutes necessary to read that article.

LIES ARE LIES
Robert Gibbs has stated that Mitt Romney's debate statements were "fundamentally dishonest."
They sure were, but I prefer a much less "nicey nice" approach in terminology.
THEY WERE LIES! MITT ROMNEY IS A LIAR!
Barack should have challenged them as such during the debate, and I hope he will do so in the coming debates instead of letting himself be bowled over by the confusing, totally lying change of approach Mitt used.
The whole damn Republican party has become a bastion of lies and liars!! The "big lie" is their stock in trade!
We've become a nation of put the gloves on and be nice water downers. Plain speaking is judged "uncouth" in most circles, so we use euphemisms like "fundamentally dishonest" when "lie" would be much more accurate and hard hitting.
Lies are lies, dammit.
Let's speak clearly.

OF LIES AND LIARS
I listened to the Democratic convention quite a while today. I was inspired by much of it, especially Bill Clinton's masterful expose of the plethora of Rethug lies and liars.
He had to be diplomatic and somewhat "nice" in his terminology aboout those lying bastards.
I don't.
I won't.
Romney likes to paint himself as a "job creator."
BULLSHIT!
Romney was never anything but a ruthless, unfeeling predator. His fangs drip with the financial life blood of thousands of American citizens his Bain Capital horror ruthlessly rode rough shod over so he could bask in the financial booty he and his like-minded dregs of humanity savagely stole from those innocent and helpless victims!
Yes, I said STOLE!
I mean STOLE!
It was legalized stealing he and others like him craftily got written into law so he couldn't be prosecuted like any ordinary citizen would have been!
Then, he stole from the United States of America he claims he loves by hiding his ill gotten wealth in tax haven offshore tax evading accounts. He stole so much that he dare not reveal his tax returns from all those years. They would show him up for the unpatriotic and unprincipaled disgusting creep he is!
When I see his hypocrite face, I automatically replace it in my mind with the face of the evil emperor from Star Wars! He's the same kind of deceptive, totally ruthless character! And, like that evil monster, he tells blatant lie after blatant lie with a completely straight face.
He cares nothing about the United States of America or any of its citizens, unless they happen to be members of his class, his family and his cult. All religions are stupid, but mormonism is by far one of the stupidest -- and most sinister. He is just as evil a character as the con man founder of that theological abortion, Joseph Smith, and those who followed him.
Ryan is no better. He is enslaved to that idiot "vicar of Christ" in the Vatican and all his insane, stupid, insidious garbage! He wouldn't be able to tell the truth if his prevaricating life depended on it. Nor, does he care a bit more about anyone than Romney does, or he wouldn't be associated with him.
Maybe reincarnation is possible after all. Nero and Caligula may have returned. Or, Hitler and Stalin.
I admit it. I am fearful. I fear what might happen to my beloved country and my descendants if these masters of lies and evil gain control. I know how dumb people can be because I was once just as dumb as many of them are. I couldn't see through the artfully contrived lies I was fed by a mesmerizing cult leader for over twenty years. Even after that, I was dumb enough to vote for "Dubya" twice!
Not because I was stupid. I had an IQ so high that my college dean wouldn't tell me how high it was. But, I was young, careless and gullible. I accepted a message that appealed to something within me because of false cultural and religious concepts that had been planted in my mind from infancy on. I just assumed the Bible had to be true and that made me ripe pickings for a master con man.
I fear that the deceptive message loudly hammered home by billions spent on lying propagands will overwhelm enough unwary minds that we will end up with these two epitomes of evil in control of my beloved nation.
The very thought could make one suicidal.
