Deja Vu!
The past warns us about the future.
I like history. Always have. My wife likes to chide me about spending so much time watching stuff about the nazis and world war II. There's a reason why I do.
I learn from the parallels and examples. That's why I can clearly see the similarities between what happened in Germany in the 1930s and what's going on in the USA right now.
We have a religio-fascist group called the "tea party" that is determined to flaunt every vestige of democratic government to impose it's will on the populace. In effect, they are symbolically "burning the Reichstag" right now in an attempt to seize absolute dictatorial power. They are criminals and traitors and they should be arrested and imprisoned.
I Know that isn't going to happen, but if we can somehow avoid complete disaster, maybe the american citizenry will awaken and make sure they no longer are in a position to carry on their terrorism. In the final analysis, maybe what's happening will finally awaken people to the monster that resides in their midst.
I certainly hope so, but I no longer have great faith in the intelligence of the average american. Pardon me for not being sure this is going to turn out well.

I HATE THE TEA PARTY
(From Facebook.)
What's on my mind tonight is outrage disgust and a profound sadness! Those lying, traitorous, dumbass tea party idiots have succeeded in shutting down the most powerful nation on earth!
I was able to forget it for a while during Dancing With The Stars. Now, it's back, front and center in my mind. Ignorant religious fanatics are doing to my country what no foreign enemy could ever do.
I'm just tired right now. Totally disgusted. Totally consumed with anger and outrage, and yes, outright hate. Can't help it, and I'm not going to lie about it or apologize for it. I hate the tea party, all it is, all it stands for and the disgusting denizens of ignorance that comprise it. And, don't give me any stupid religious platitudes.
I need a good night of sleep, but I'm not sure it's in the cards.

TRICKY, TRICKY BLACK BOY
I have to hand it to Obama. I've been very disappointed with him over his seeming weakness and what appeared to be total surrender to the opposition.
Yes, I'd like to see more confrontation and fight, and I'm still hoping to see it. It has to come if he's not going to be a one-term president and this nation isn't going to be even more savaged than it now is by ending up in total Rethuglican/Tea Party control.
My wife, who is quite the analyst, pointed out something this morning. She remembered an old episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, in which a colored lady got one up on conniving Raymond and labeled him a "tricky, tricky white boy."
She pointed out how Obama is very craftily outflanking his opposition on the immigration issue, giving much of the "dream act" benefits through legal executive action and winning points with Hispanic voters in the process. He did some crafty maneuvering on the don't ask don't tell front as well. She said it made her feel like saying, "Oh, you tricky, tricky black boy."
I may be more confrontational in my approach, but Obama isn't just lying down and letting his enemies roll over him. He has a few "tricks" up his sleeve, and I'm sure that's driving the enemy nuts.

WHAT DOES THE TEA PARTY "SPIKE" THEIR TEA WITH?
Never, since I abandoned Armstrongism have I heard so much insane nonsense coming out of human mouths as I have heard since the founding of the "Tea Party!" A few of my one-time friends and fellow cultists are now staunch members of that bewildering aberration. They just can't get away from extreme approaches and simplistic (read godly) thinking.
I know they're not smoking marijuana. There's nothing "mellow" about them. Too angry. Too extreme. Too know-it-all dogmatic. Not at all tolerant of anything else but their extremist dogmatism.
So, maybe they're putting something in their tea. Could it be mushrooms or LSD?
Something is causing them to be wackier than Tasmanian Devils in a bee's nest.
I guess it's just the same old thing that afflicts the Republicans in general but carried to an extreme. They want that "Old-time Religion" and all the other old-time Dickensian crap that goes with it.
Down with Social Security! Down with Medicare! Down with anything that made America great for a few, now endangered, decades!
Up with the aristocracy and the robber barons! Up with self-agrandizment and self-centeredness!
Down with public schools -- they teach "evulooshin!" Down with any sense of public concern and welfare or helping hands for those who are poor and weak! If they aint rich, it's their fault. But, we're gonna make sure our kids git a good private, or (gasp), home schooled education and know how to properly kiss the asses of all the Bible thumping Jesus pushers.
Ah!
That's the answer!
THEY'RE HIGH ON RELIGIOUS CRAP!

EVERYTHING ENDS SOMETIME
Telling the truth as you see it sometimes costs a person. My recent blog in which I labeled the Tea Party for the ignorant, religious and fascist minded thugs they are just cost me one of my last friends from the past. He labels me the fascist, along with Obama, etc.
I know this old friend is not knowingly fascist. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
However, he is caught up in the Tea Party from its inception, in creationism and is absolutely dedicated to Christianity -- now, mainstream instead of Armstrongist. There is no penetrating that armor without a non-existent intellectual anti-tank rocket.
Of course, what I say is automatically dismissed as lies. He says I'm no longer the man he loved as a dear friend for about 60 years. That's for sure true.
Gone is my youthful naivete and gullibility. It is replaced by stone cold reasoning power that came by a hard route. I no longer stand in awe before a fictional god and his totally fictional supposed scriptures. I care not what any god supposedly says through some ecstatic, over-impressed-with-him-or-herself revelator. Paul, the originator of Christianity, is to me a mentally deranged con-artist.
So, I bid farewell to this longtime friend and fellow traveler. I wished him well in what remains of his life. He's several years older than I, so I'll probably be around longer. I did ask him to give my regards to the various members of the Elohim if he can locate them in this vast evolutionary creation.

UNBALANCE IN OVERDRIVE
The reason why the US is in economic trouble was made clear by an article I just read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/04/irs-incomes_n_918458.html
This article reveals the fact that more than 1,400 certified millionaires (that's people who make -- I refuse to say "earned" -- more than one million dollars) paid no income tax at all in 2009. Many of those millionaires sat in a plush chair before a computer screen and used any number of devious schemes to move fiat money around, contributing absolutely nothing tangible to the national welfare and producing the economic crisis they then contrived to be bailed out of to the tune of multiple billions that were added to the national debt.
Nice "job" if you can contrive to get it.
For several decades now, those at the economic apex have been lobbying to make this grossly imbalanced and unfair scenario a reality. Meanwhile, the rest of us have been picking up their share of the tax burden. They have a headlock on the economy and things can only get worse.
How long will the average American be hoodwinked into accepting and voting for this farce. Just as long as they are stupid enough to fall for the BS being shoveled their way by the Rethugs and the "Tea Party."
The stupidity of the average American seems to know no bounds.
