LET THE FIRES OF LIBERTY BURN BRIGHT.

The tea-bagged masses, self-described ‘real Americans’ call the 650 million dollars in stimulus funds allotted for “wild land fire management on forest service lands” ‘Political pork.’ They say it is damn un-American to steal their hard-earned dollars, and it doesn't even matter that 500 million dollars was budgeted for states to build and improve state and local fire stations.  The stimulus was and is 100% wrong, plain and simple.


Socialism they cry.  The radical right wing flying monkey media machine, reaping a ratings bonanza wholeheartedly endorses the hysterial, and even sponsors a nationwide tour to feature the wildest and wackiest of their ranks.  Taxes are evil.  The federal government is evil. Obama is a white-hating, secret-Muslim illegal alien worse than Hitler and Stalin combined who wants to kill old people, retards, disabled veterans and the unborn.  You know the type.

Apparently, the USA also doesn’t need wild fire management. The USA doesn’t need flood control on the Mississippi. The USA doesn’t need volcano warning in the Pacific Northwest. The USA doesn’t need Hurricane warning systems in the Gulf of Mexico either….None of that shit is in the Constitution is it??  Your on your own, people. 

How many Republican voted for the stimulus?

GOP politicians promised to fight tooth and nail against the stimulus. A number of legislators vowed to refuse the money in the name of democracy. Some governors even asserted the right of their states to secede rather than except this fascist takeover of the country. Their supporters applauded. Maybe there was something to it.

But, the Angeles National Forest is now ablaze, and I am left to wonder where the unhinged fringe is on this fine day? I wonder where the Socialist-fighting Anti-Statist Armies are.

They are no doubt racing to the scene of the fires with their flag pins, AK-47 assault rifles and Bibles, prepared to protest the conflagration with their prayers, armor piercing bullets and patriotism.
Why is univeral healthcare coverage such an evil anti-American concept, but universal fire coverage isn't?   After all isn’t preventing fire the same as preventing sickness? Isn’t fighting a fire just like a fighting a disease?

The Neo-conned don’t want to pay for others to have free health insurance, why should they want to pay for others to have free fire insurance?

Sorry, Glendale, it seems that in the name of liberty, you must defend your own homes (and possibly lives too.) It’s a small price to pay, Acton – your town in exchange for freedom from the tyranny that the Socialists in charge of DC wish for.

BREAKING: Sweeping Changes in store for the GOP

The Republican National Committee has announced a major change at the RNC website. Out-of-Date banners, signs, logos and bumper stickers no longer reflecting GOP values will be removed indefinitely.

The move comes after the self-annointed True Leader of the Republican Party received a deluge of complaints on his nationally syndicated, top-rated decidedly non-mainstream, radio show about the apparently anti-GOP nature of some of these items.

Items removed or amended include slogans made famous over the past 8 years, including; America – Love it or Leave It, which has been revised to America – Love it or Threaten Secession. Other objectionable items included; America First, which has been changed to GOP first. and My Country Right or Wrong – which has been changed to My Country Right or Else. Freedom isn’t Free has been amended to Freedom isn’t Free – But I’m not Paying for it.

In a 180 degree about face the GOP leader now insists that it is Patriotic to actually hate America and to refer to the freely elected leader of the nation as YOUR PRESIDENT – NOT MINE. Previously Neo-Conservative mantra was one of total and absolute submission to the will of the ‘Sole Decider.’

Some new catchphrases being considered by the RNC include;

Get Off Of My Lawn You Pesky Kids,
For The Sake of The Party We Hope America Fails,
Jesus was a Statist,
The NEO GOP – Mud People Need Not Apply,
Party First, God Second, Country Third.
It’s Only Racist when YOU Say It.
When YOU Protest, You are a TRAITOR, When WE Protest, We Are PATRIOTS.

GOP insiders say internal debate is going on about whether it would be in the party’s interests to name The Leader as THEIR President of the United States. Constitutional experts John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzalez are investigating whether or not the Constitution of the United States permits citizens dissatisfied with the nation to select an alternative President without any voting whatsoever to ensure that the voices of the electorate won’t be suppressed.

The concept of supporting the freely elected President of the United States has also been abandoned as a PATRIOTIC DUTY according to The Leader. In the neo-conservative rule book, it is clearly one’s PATRIOTIC DUTY to criticize the President of The United States and to wish him failure. In the past, opposition protesters who dared speak out against the President were deemed to be ‘empowering and emboldening our enemies’ thereby putting our brave servicemen at risk. Today, publicly denouncing the President and branding him a terrorist himself, is in clear support of our troops overseas, and will definitely NOT empower America’s enemies, the RNC website stated.

The RNC has also announced that is has officially ceded their claims to the moral and ethical high ground, arguing that since other people did not support the previous administration, that they are not obliged to do so either, despite their insistence that Republicans would NEVER ‘behave like them.’

St. Reagan and Death Panels for Granny

interesting article from the WSJ.


If St. Ronnie was around today I wonder if the Neo-Conned would think that he supported the Death Panels too??

"Ronald Reagan proposed cutting $1 billion in Medicare spending while president in 1981, when the program cost just $40 billion a year.

That a 2.5% cut for any Neo-Cons that can count.

A 2.5% Cut in the 2008 $325 billion Medicare budget would be $8.12 billion.

In 2007, Dumbya proposed cutting $15.2 billion from the 2008 Medicare budget.  That's an almost 5% Cut.  That plan would have been realized by reducing provider payment updates and raising premiums for higher-income beneficiaries -- Basically punishing the insurance industry and wealthier medicare recipients.    

WHERE WERE THE TOWNHALLS?  WHERE WERE THE GUN TOTTING FRINGERS? 

Oh yeah.  It was un-American to question the President before the darkie took charge.

But, suddenly the Neo-No-Nothing Party is up in arms about cutting Grannie's lifeline.   Heaven forbid it!

The Hypocrisy is astounding.

St. Ronnie is surely rolling over in his grave.
