No More Freaking War Period - Fire Fat Ass Limbaugh Too - Enough!

We're not Israel's gofer.... Especially the present day Israel. We need to act like a honest broker when it comes to the Palestinians and Israel.  If Obama really hates war he should stop kissing Israel's ass every chance he gets and stand up to their expansionism and saber rattling.

While the war weary people are not making war no more we should also occupy Rush Limbaugh everywhere he pops up and once and for all get rid of this cancer of American discourse. The future is calling in case you hadn't notice.

'Romney - You Magnificent Bastard I Read Your Book'

"You know how I'm sure they're finished out there? The carts. They're using carts to move their wounded and the supplies. The carts came to me in my dream. I couldn't figure it out. Then I remembered, that nightmare in the snow. The agonizing retreat from Moscow. How cold it was. They threw the wounded and what was left of the supplies in the carts." George C Scott from the movie 'Patton'

Iran War Hawks And Profiteers Entering 'Zone Of Stupidity'

CNN's Fareed Zakaria Global Public Square show seems like one of the only places in MSM that's informed enough to make any sense of the world when it comes to Sunday morning talk shows.. Today Zakaria tackled the growing saber rattling by Israel and its war with Iran surrogates in the US. Who now talk endlessly about something they call the "zone of immunity". Hey we been here before folks, but have we learned anything?

Chris Hedges Calls Out Black-Block - 'The Cancer In Occupy'

Chris Hedges steps forward with his post 'The Cancer In Occupy' which addresses such things as the use of a "diversity of tactics” and other Black Bloc violent justifying psycho-babble dogma.

These dogma spouting ne'er-do-wells actually threaten the beauty and hope of a continuing revolution. They alienate the masses, who actually support us, and turn them away. If the SPD is looking for who's breaking windows in Seattle area banks, this banal group of losers is probably a good place to start. 
"The Black Bloc anarchists, who have been active on the streets in Oakland and other cities, are a gift from heaven to the security and surveillance state."
The occupy revolution was always about economic justice, widespread political reform, ending war, getting the money out of politics, peaceful creative nonviolent demonstration, not cop hating and baiting, tents or property destruction. 

The black block provocateurs now threaten all the gains the occupy movement has made by becoming the vary thing that we are fighting against. Nothing pleases the 1% or the cops who represent them more. It only gives law enforcement justification to crack more heads and marginalize the vast majority of demonstrators who are nonviolence.  Start your own demented revolution some where far away from occupy please. Maybe you'll eventually realize it take more strength and intelligence to remain nonviolent then to playact the angry macho man.

Chris Hayes Proves Racist Republican Candidate Pete 'Spend It Not' Is A Dumb Shit

Chris Hayes wins for best analysis of the racist ad that Republican Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra ran in the Midwest during the Super Bowl. Beside pointing out the obvious 'why we should hate Asians' dog whistle blowing, Hayes also turns the table on the basic argument of the ad that tries to bring attention to the Democrat crime of excessive government spending.

No War With Iran - America's Not Your War Bitch Israel

Aren't most fair minded people sick of the Jewish lobby saying jump and the right wing wackos and end-timers asking how high. I'm sick of war profiteering and war-mongering by the corporate elites and their political yes men.   I'm sick of Zionist expansionism and suppression of the Palestinian people and their right to have their own independent state. This latest war threat from Israel against Iran should be a wake-up call for Americans. Blind allegiance to Israel and Jews can do no wrong diplomacy has created a monster state that is killing innocent people. America is not your war bitch Israel!

British Tourists Tweet Causes Homeland Security Freak-Out

British Tourists Barred From Entering U.S. Over Tweet About ‘Destroying America’. Except 'destroying" is British slang for 'having a good time'. Don't know what's worse the way that homeland security acted or the fact that they're capable of monitoring your tweets and then tracking your movements.

Fly My Arrogant Jingoistic Ass To The Moon

 

How fucking jingoistic-ly arrogant is it of Newt Gingrich to say he wants to turn the moon into the 51st US state? No wonder the rest of the world thinks we've lost our minds. Maybe he should check out the legality of that first.  Here's the international treaty language on the uses of outer space: 
"Outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, are not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."

An Open Letter To Occupy Seattle - This Is How It's Done!




Dearest Occupy Seattle.
“We do have a grand strategy, Nonviolent movements shift power by attacking the columns that hold the power structure in place. Those columns are the military, police, media, business, workers, youth, faith groups, NGOs and civil servants. Every time we deal with the police, we have that in mind. The goal is not to hit them, hit them, hit them and weaken them. The goal is to pull people from those columns to our side. We want the police to know that we understand they’re not the 1 percent. The goal is not to get every police officer, but to get enough police so that you have a division.” Kevin Zeese, Occupy Wall Street Protester

It's time to move from a cop hating anarchist dogma centered occupation to what the actual occupy wall street movement was really about, i.e., love, compassion, understanding, a new way of thinking, ending war, empathy, protecting the environment, truth, economic justice, election reform, HOPE.

Broaden your freaking creative thinking horizons for god's sake.

Love,

The sympathetic middle class

Keystone Job Numbers BS - Only Number That Counts 240 House Members 42 Million From Big Oil

The jobs creation numbers are bullshit. The only numbers that count are the head count of the oil industry's bought and sold politicians in the House of Representatives.

Obama's Real Nightmare - The Chinese Speaking Mormon Guy



Pretend your a independent voter for a second. If this guy got the Republican nomination Obama would have a real fight on his hands. I don't see the President having a problem with Mitt or the rest of the field of right-wing wankers. Lucky for Obama Huntsman is far too smart and reasonable for the wing-nut GOP electorate too. He's sort of reminds me of the old school Republicans I remember from my youth.

But one must remind oneself he is also a conservative on many important issues including health-care,  which he wants to make a State issue. He talks about repealing Dodd-Frank but also talks about getting rid of "to big to fail" banks. He also would withdraw troops from Afghanistan apparently, and seems very secular on many family value and social issues, choosing to be a Libertarian-lite version of Ron Paul on what's going on in your underpants or in your bedroom.

Underwater Mortgages 'Like Katrina Without The Water' But There's A 'Win-Win" Solution




The National People Action coalition with help from locally based groups we love like the Backbone Campaign  have proposes an unique "win win" solution to the underwater mortgages crisis that would allow people to remain in their homes and at the same time actually stimulate economic recovery and create up to 1 million jobs across the country annually. But it would requrie the Obama administration to take on Wall Street and the banks. It's the bailout of the middle class that should of happened already.

Occupy Wall Street Geeks Building Facebook For 99%


“I don’t want to say we’re making our own Facebook. But, we’re making our own Facebook,” said Ed Knutson, a web and mobile app developer who joined a team of activist-geeks redesigning social networking for the era of global protest

Occupy Christianity

"Blase Bonpane, Director of the Office of the America & Retired Episcopal Bishop George Packard join Thom Hartmann. Since the Occupy Wall Street movement started more than 3 months again - it's taken on many forms. From physical occupations in cities across America - to occupying individual homes to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure - to occupying corporate media headquarters - to occupying the Iowa Caucuses - to occupying Christmas. The movement has so many different dimensions today. And now - there could be a bond developing between the Occupy Movement and Christianity. So what does that look like? Just what does Occupy Wall Street and Christianity have in common?"
