On news that Barack Obama, the most admired leader in the world, the president who restored our country to a posit on as the most admired nation in the world (after languishing at 7th or 8th for almost a decade) had received the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize........the RNC (the Republican National Committee...of AMERICA) had this to say:
"The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?'" reads a statement from the Republican National Committee. " It is unfortunate that the president's star power has out shined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain -- President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action."
AMERICA: THE RICH....convincing....THE STUPID....to go along with...THE PLAN

When The Simple Act of Telling the Truth....
....is met with this level of incredulity by those whose business is supposed to be: Telling the truth.
There is no media circus, they have achieved the level of 3 dimensional cartoon characters.....and the lives and deaths of those who own the airwaves they use, are but fodder for their own inane video game.

They Are Back: The Return of McCarthyism..
Like an old "B" movie from the 50's.....the zombies are returning with a vengeance.
In a country with a state, that recently held a survey, in which less than 25% of high school students could name the first president, how many respondents would have a clue about what should have been a long discredited tool from the rights's bottomless bag of fear?
How many could have correctly identified the term "blacklist", or described in any detail that horrible period after WWII when a hateful group within our own congress, calling itself ...of all things, the "House Un-American Activities Committee", routinely dragged innocent citizens to our own Capitol, ruined thousands of lives, and imprisoned its own citizenry for thought crime?
......but poor drunk McCarthy and his band of dupes were pikers ....without benefit of a massive, multi-national media conglomerate that devotes every hour of every day to promulgating the "The Big Lie": The President is surrounded by enemy advisers, our enemies have infiltrated all of our institutions.....or ...."The Big Dog Whistle: The President himself is our enemy..... bent on destroying us from within.
All couched within a thousand other lies: The "others" are taking over. The "different" are a threat to you. "They" are dragging "Your Country" ...to ruin..
A decrepit, despicable ideology: aimed at the primal fears of the ignorant and the weak minded.
......and how many of those Oklahoma students who could not even name the first president of our country, could then be expected to know of the exchange that finally signaled an end to our summer of madness? A simple question that the rest of the media and punditry of this country, and everyone else for that matter, should be shouting at the top of their lungs every day to the Australian robber baron and all of his faux journalist underlings:
Joseph Welsh to Senator McCarthy: "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
Of course they don't......they never did...and they never will.

Dr. Colburn......You Are An Idiot
I don't even know what to say about this clip. That someone who has actually attended medical school, taken an oath to do no harm, presents themselves as a Christian, receives quality health care himself at the taxpayers expense....and supposedly represents the people of the state of Oklahoma...would have the unmitigated gall to tell this poor women that she should "go to her neighbors" because her husband is dieing from the broken insurance system and "government is not the answer".
Between this guy and Inhofe....forget Texas succession.....lets get rid of Oklahoma for electing these morons.

Crazy Days Are Here Again....
I should have put this up last week when I first saw it on Driftglass......but some things are just to scary to contemplate.....until it is too late.
"Over sixty years ago, more than 16 million American men and
women fought -- and over 400,000 died -- across five continents to help
shove this malevolent genie back into its bottle.And yet here it is
again, leering out at us from the darkest and most savage place in the
human soul, aided and abetted by Conservative media and political
leaders trying desperately to pry the blood-soaked cork out of that
ancient, evil bottle in the name of a First Amendment for which they had absolutely no use when a Republican was in the White House."
So this is what we have come to? ...in the summer of 2009.
Citizens showing up at town meetings with AR-15's and signs depicting our president as Hitler? ....because he has the audacity to stand up to the corporate overlords, and try to give affordable health care to the millions who don't currently have it, and make sure those who already do have it aren't bankrupted when they actually need it?
You know even the owners of Degesch, Farbin, Messerschmidt or Junkers didn't have to bus in armed supporters to shout down the voices of reason at rallies back in those days....they sent their money and paid stooge organizers straight to the top....which I guess we would call K street these days.
No dog whistles here folks. The message is quite clear.

OHP Shows EMT Some LUV
My guess would be that something like this...or worse happens somewhere in this country every day.....or the guy trying to get to the hospital to see his dieing mother in law...who just didn't show enough "respect" for the officer who stopped him. I guess we are all just in need of an "attitude adjustment"..when it comes to the thin blue line. What exactly does that line mark again?
It just took the ubiquitous presence of cell phones for these incidents to surface. I wonder how many people like this EMT were just brutalized and hauled off to jail before cell phones cameras came along. Millions.....?
In other news from the heart of pro-life / red state nirvana this week: An older white man foils a robbery attempt at a pharmacy by shooting the unarmed member of a pair of robbers (a 15 year old) in the head. Then, as seen on the shooters own security tape, he swaps out guns and empties the fresh one into the torso of the dieing youngster..you can probably guess what color he was.
...and of course ....today's Sunday headline: Abortion Doctor Shot to Death In Front of Church
Hey Rush....stop worrying.....I think your Libertarian Paradise ....has arrived.

Another Interrogator Disputes The Dick
On one side we have the chairman of the joint chiefs, the current head of Centcom, the current president, current and former state dept. heads, FBI heads, countless military intelligence service members....history, morality, common sense and the rule of law.
On the other we have 5 deferment Dick, a few CIA monsters and their viscous subcontractors...... and the chicken hawks at Faux news...
Why is this even considered a debatable subject?

Jesse Ventura: Give me Dick Cheney and A Waterboard....
Frankly, I was pretty puzzled when the people of Minnesota elected this guy, but I have gained more and more respect for him over the years. I don't think I have seen anyone offer up a more cogent description of "the Dick" than Jesse does here. Tell it Jesse.
