Republican War Machine Exposed

Note: I don't get my opinions in this post or anything I write here from anyone else other than the participants themselves. I could research, find the proof and post it here along with all my view, but I have found that doing so is even more of a waste of my time than is writing what I do write here.
 
Besides, everyone has seen it all on shoat news outlets just like I have and I can state the truth till doomsday and no one is going to admit I'm right, so doing the extra work to go back and find the dates and times and places for the events I get my views from is even more waste of my time.
 
 But, I want to state, again that my analysis and observations contained in my blogs are my own from what I have witnessed myself, albeit in print, on TV and radio from the mouths of the shoat people involved that I analyze and criticize. In principle I do not listen to other people's opinions because as I have said MANY times NO ONE CAN BE TRUSTED, ALL have an agenda  to control others. So I watch and read media for one reason: to get the facts.
 
 Listening to opinion is asking or letting SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO MY THINKING FOR ME and I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF, THANK YOU. Furthermore, anyone can do the same as I and see the truth, all it takes is to first admit that you're afraid of something and then shed those fears and prejudices (same thing). Then when some shoat politician or fear monger of another stripe, such as a conspiracy monger, spouts thinly veiled hatred and meanness, then can you hear such things and not be influenced by them. In other words, to know the truth, to not be influenced by the opinions of others and to be able to form your own opinions YOU HAVE TO be fearless, introspective, (knowledgeable of your faults and willingness to admit them) and  HAVE ETHICS, Morality, and Integrity.

That's the basis from which I write here things which nobody reads or cares about, which tells me that the rest of you jackasses have no ethics, are afraid &prejudiced against many things  and therefore are controlled and manipulated on a daily basis by the hateful, controlling, untruthful opinions of others.

So now, on with the subject of this blog post:
 
Even shoat Barack Obama says the Israeli political policies and actions, as well as their hawkish positions in the various negotiations concerning the Middle East are beyond the pale. So he's distanced the White House from them while still maintaining that the White House and the USA totally supports, backs and will protect the Israeli State and its people like it always has. Of course he's therefore constantly accused by his political enemies as being "anti-Semitic"
 
The Republican shoats back the currently hawkish counter-productive Israeli political stance to the hilt and in fact often call for more sanctions & military action than even the Israeli hawks in power do. 
 
So are the Republican shoats more "pro-Israeli" than the White House? Um, NO! Listening to them, scream for military action as the solution for EVERTYHING., the only things they are "pro" about is war (Power and Profit). All their opinions and positions boil down to being all about  sucking  the teats of the fat, rich,war mongering pigs that fund their campaigns.
 
In fact it's not very difficult at all to disassemble any conservative Republican shoat's position into it's fundamental components: Money & Power to the total exclusion of any other considerations, including life. For them it's all about  making the all ready rich ruling class fat fatter no matter the cost to others, even our lives. And they don't even try to hide it because they don't have to bother with hiding something when they can get most people to IN BLIND FAITH believe all they say.
 
The same goes for the Democrat shaots as well, except one thing: Most Democrat shoats don't howl for military action as a first response while condemning and attempting to sabotage ANYONE's attempt at any peaceful settlement or negotiation because for Republican shoats, peace & prosperity of others = no mega profit for their momma sows.
 
Anyone can see this by listening to the shoats shoot their mouths off. But realizing what they are up to requires a few personal attributes apparently not commonly found in modern people: a total lack of fear, admitting and dispensing with fear of all other cultures, ethnic groups &sexual orientations, and thinking for oneself. if you're not afraid, then the fear& hate  mongering the shoats do for your vote and support cannot influence you. If you quit clinging to your party line, if you quit having "faith" in things that shouldn't have your faith, then you are capable of seeing the truth about what your shoat politicians are up to, which is controlling you through your fears and prejudices.
 
And finally I'd like to point out that you can call it what you want to, but I see a A LOT of blind faith in shoat political beliefs parties as strong or stronger than one's religious beliefs in fact,  when none should EVER be given to ANY non-spiritual entity . "Faith" indeed should only be found in whatever deity one believes in.You may give it, but no  person or worldly entity has ever earned your absolute  faith.  Faith in people, causes, shoat political opinions is absurd because all are imperfect, fallible, if not dishonest and therefore bound to either be deceptive or in error and therefore not worthy of your faith. Besides, having so much faith in wordly things IS JUST LAZY! It's lazy because you're showing you'd rather just "take it on faith" rather than bother to think about something, analyze it and possibly come up with your own unique opinion of it.
 
Briefly put, Smart, intelligent people CONSTANTLY QUESTION ALL AUTHORITY EXCEPT ONE: GOD. And I see HARDLY ANY questioning of authority these days except my own.

Finally, I fully realize that I misuse the term "shoat" for swine breast feeding politicians. I know that strictly speaking, shoats are weaned juvenile pigs whereas it is obvious that no modern politician is.

A Letter To My Beloved Daughter Caitlin about Your Uncle Fred

                  a letter to you, which is perhaps helpful in memory of 
                      your Uncle Fred, b. Nov. 22, 1962, d. May 12, 2013.
                                                                                       
       We've all had anger issues to deal with because we knew him as a kind, gentle, strong, loving problem solver and we asked in anguish: "how could you do this to your children who are so young and still need you so much?"
      At the service, the first thing his cousin Connie talked about was the twinkle (she too often has twinkle of the mischievous kind in her eyes) in his eye and his warm smile when anyone saw him. Yet, a former employer of Fred's and someone who held him in high esteem, Sue, said to me before Connie spoke "Sometimes I am so angry with Fred (for taking his life)."
      I thought, "yes, we all are at times."
      Thus we've struggled  with our emotions, from profound regret and sorrow to anger. But should we be angry at your uncle for his act?
     After much thought and soul searching, My feeling is that I think not.
     My reasoning is that in times of tragedy, we all go through alternating feelings of anger and anguish, which are normal components of the grieving process for humans no matter the cause of death. Albeit sometimes it is possible that people die and there is blame to lay on the deceased, but I don't think so in this case.
      Yet still in the midst of my grief, I got angry and challenged him, "How could you (hurt so many people with this (seemingly) supremely selfish act after conducting yourself so selflessly for others during your life?"
          Before answering that I would like to digress and say something long and deeply felt about your Uncle Freddy. 
     In life I often said this to him and others and then several more times after his death and at the service: "My brother is (was) the best man I've ever known in every way a man could possibly be a man. He was the best husband, father, brother, son, uncle, worker, friend I've every known. He was not only that but also my best friend."
     So how could such a man, known and widely respected for his unwavering strength and kindness,undo it all and hurt so many with such an act? How could he rob so much potential from two small boys (the potential difference of what they could have become under his continued fatherly guidance that was taken away).
     Was he somehow secretly just a mean,angry, jerk, trying to show somebody he ultimately was the one in control? There have been suicides for that reason. But usually people  take their own lives for another reason, the one I told you about: severe depression, a descent into complete hopelessness. When all hope dies, so does your reason for being, for breathing, yet, there you are, still alive, "but why?" you ask.
     So which happened to Fred? We will never know for sure, but we still forlornly search  for rational reasons for it in places that rationality cannot be found. We think about what we knew of him, desperately wanting to reasonably assert with finality that "in this tragedy, he a victim like us." Still,  we get angry with him again.
     Herein lies our answer to how we try to assimilate his action and how we should remember our beloved, brother, uncle, son, father, husband, new grandfather Fred. He was a beautiful, giving, loving, hard working, real man, one of the few among the best of us who've ever lived, who lived his life making ours better with his presence and he just couldn't bear the burden of all that anymore.                    
                   
             'It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved   
             (paraphrased).'
             Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from "In Memoriam A.H.H"
                       
     Fred's good friend and former business associate, Scott, helped me today with my recurring anger, giving me this insight of the full suitcase (another metaphor for the moment it happened is "the straw that broke the camel's back"). I have expanded it to incorporate my knowledge of Fred and sharing it in the hopes that it helps you understand, my beloved daughter, like it has me (if you need it). It is intended to give you insight into what happened to Fred and why we should never be angry at him for the damage caused by the tragedy of his taking of his life.
    Think of a life as a suitcase that you keep jamming clothing into. Eventually you have to take stuff out of it in order to put new stuff into it or it will burst. During his life, Fred didn't take stuff out of his suitcase. But why not? For instance, my suitcase (life) is not overstuffed.
      I think it is because the difference between Fred and I is that Fred was truly a nice, good person, always smiling, friendly, gracious, warm, always ready to help, always giving, never taking from others, never, in effect, unpacking anything from his suitcase
     There is a difference between simply having high moral standards and work ethic like I have and being a good person like Fred was. To be a truly  good person like your Uncle Fred one has to walk the high road ALL OF THE TIME, not just when it suits you. You must be one who is good in all ways, genuinely nice and thoughtful to and around others.

        "Only The Good Die Young"--Billy Joel
        "Chripes, I'll probably live to 115 then,"--Bobbi Skankanos
               
        Along with his deeply caring nature, Fred had another trait, perhaps a flaw. To me, Fred was legendary in his refusal to burden others with his problems no matter how small. Indeed that is the only thing the man would ever lie about. "I feel fine," he's say, or "no I can get it myself, thank you anyway." That is the hallmark of a great person. They'll drop everything just to help you with your tiny problem, but you play hell helping them with anything large or small because they won't let you, they'll even tell white lies to keep from laying their burden on you
      Fred lived his life taking all care of or always thinking of his family, me, grandma, his friends, youclients all the while ignoring his own needs, hiding, burying his human frailties deep inside his increasingly overstuffed life's suitcase.
           Then, after 50 years of being selfless for others, The suitcase was full and neither he (because he'd been ignoring it all along, after all) nor anyone knew it until it was too late.
     Typical of Fred is that if I was with Fred and he asked me to help him lift or load something (rare, he was always doing the work of 2 men without comment or request for help), the scenario was that I'd say "okay" and still be out there yammering away about something while he loaded whatever it was by himself! And he always did so without any comment. Whereas I, in his shoes,  (not to him) likely would have said at least sarcastically, "thanks for all the help, girlfriend."
    That illustrates the difference between a truly good person and one like me who is more self centered, less mature with good moral values (him doing, me still talking) but more than occasional bad behavior. It bothers me when people say they will help and don't. It never did him, he just went ahead and did the task himself without comment or criticism.
    He did the same with his entire life and the stress of living it. He "handled" it (not really he just ignored it, more about that in the next paragraph) himself and always refused to talk about it or burden others with his problems which he insisted he could handle and, perhaps, never realized or acknowledge that one day he would not be able to.
      For example, a couple of weeks ago we came to my home late from work in his truck with something very heavy to unload at his house. Though he needed help unloading it, he would not ask and I knew he wouldn't ask so I did. He said "nah, I'll get it."  and I'm like "well are you leaving it in the back of the truck then?" and (not lying yet) he said, "I can unload it myself you don't need to go, thanks anyway."  Now, he has a bad shoulder and a numerous other sore spots and fatigues and God knows what else from doing stuff just as this. So I said, "well then I'm going to your house now and will meet you there to help unloaded it." 
    "No don't worry," he said, I'll just get a neighbor to help me, Tony (I just made this name up but he used one I can't remember) across the street."  Well, THEN I knew the darn fool was lying in order to not burden me with driving over and helping unload.  So catching him in the act, I feigned indignation, and said "OMG I caught you in a lie! I cannot believe you have the gall to blithely tell baldfaced lies to people merely to keep stop from helping you! It's 11 p.m! And don't think I don't know that even if it was 5 p.m. and Tony was in his front yard, that you still wouldn't ask for his help."
    And when it came to his personal health and stress, he was just the same. Typical responses from him about his blood pressure, or a searing headache or whatever was "I got too much to do to (most often for others) worry about that," or I don't have the time to worry about it" or "I don't have the money (or health insurance) to go to the doctor." But for a family man, blowing off your health issues (diabetes, high blood pressure) and the lack of affordable coverage under the USA's euphemistically-labelled a health care system  which is in reality a Health Business System creates more stress. He always  pretended like he didn't worry about it, but he did and such things as not having affordable health care and needing it stuffs the suitcase even more with the stress and fear of being rendered not able to care for and provide for your family. 
       In the end then, his suitcase was so full of stuff about to burst at the seams from years of self neglect and shouldering the burdens of everyone around him and internalizing theirs and his, on May 12, 2013, he may have stuffed one more thing in his suitcase, something perhaps as seemingly inconsequential and weightless to us as a single button and his suitcase exploded at the seams.

also for Fred's family, Sara, Sean, Laura and the young ones who may only remember him through things we tell them: his sons, Lincoln, Ford and granddaughter Maiya

How to vote or how not to vote. This is the question


In the last election were you confuse about who to vote for? Were you trying to weigh what everybody had to say about the candidates before making your decisions? If so, that was your worst mistake. Below is my sound, experienced advice for potential voters whether you are affiliated with the Tea Party , Dems, Reps, independents, progressives (whatever because none apply to what I have to say). Rather than being for voters with a specific party affiliation, this advice is for anybody who is intelligent enough to understand the merit of what I am saying & has enough regard for others to want to cast a vote for the common good of all.
     Here is my advice: First and foremost: Don't listen to  anything  anybody has to say about any candidate. I say this because anything negative about any candidate is either coming from the opposition, whose job it is to make the candidate look bad or coming indirectly from them through your friends and colleagues with whom you discuss politics. Conversely, the same is true for anyone saying good things about the candidate! So don't listen to them either. Their job is to make the candidate look good and and they've influenced people who are trying to influence your decision at polling time.
     Instead, listen to the candidates & your own perception of the candidates as you weigh how they behave and speak. Listen to the candidates every chance you get & to determine if they are addressing the issues that are important. Are they actually talking about substantive issues in a meaningful way or are they just talking a lot about nothing & repeating vague platitudes about ephemeral things like "the American Way" & "justice for all." Are they continuously bashing their opponent or do they seem to be masters of doublespeak? Or are they talking about their  plans to do the job if elected & do the seem sincere& honest? If you tune out all the BS, all the lies, all the news media commentary and opinions and let the candidates speak for themselves, it becomes easy to differentiate between the charlatans who just want the power & prestige & the candidates who have an altruistic motivation for seeking the office. But to cast a vote for the common good, your mind can't be polluted by the self-centered, racism & greed & ethnocentric hatred that they throw at Obama like he is Hitler, a nigger, a socialist etc.They hiss "Muslim"  about him, trying to control your vote by playing on your irrational fears about those thing. So along with my advice not to listen to anyone but the candidate, I will say that this only works if you've cleared your mind of all the irrational fears mentioned above. Because if you still harbor them at poll time, you're either a puppet casting the votes your puppet masters want you to cast, or you 're a selfish, self-centered SOB who cares for no one but yourself (in other words, you're an average American).
     So, all you need to cast a good vote is to not be influenced by all the garbage spread about candidates & you need to quell your irrational fears so your choices can't be manipulated by others. The last thing is that you need only listen to the candidates themselves.  If you maintain an open mind and listen to only what the candidates say and nobody else, and look to them for speaking the truth & being, sincere & candid, I promise you that more often than not, you can reach a choice on your own that is yours and as good or better than anyone else's choice.  That's because, you know what? Most people let their minds get polluted by the enormous amount of pure horseshit that is thrown around in these campaigns due to two factors: their ignorance & their irrational fears that allow them to believe, for example that all Muslims are terrorists and Christianity is superior, being conveniently devoid of terrorism throughout it's entire history despite such events as the killings & bombing in the abortion industry by avowed Christians; the Oklahoma Courthouse Bombing by Timothy McVeigh; David Koresh and his cult; the years of Christian-on-Christian terrorism in Ireland, The Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition to name just a few blemishes. 
     But if you've tuned out all the crap & have just listened to the candidates, come voting time, you're much more qualified than most people to cast a good vote. Don't listen to stuff about the candidate, listen to the candidate. Anybody saying things about the candidates cannot and should not be trusted because they either work for them or against them and are getting paid to either build the candidate up or tear him/her down.
      This advice is not comprehensive and will not guide you through an entire ballot of obscure offices and unknown candidates for positions you didn't know existed, but at the very least it will help you to make your own decision on a few races that are important to you.
