Fucking mother fuckers!!!!!

Senate blocks repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'
AP – 1 hr 46 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans blocked a major year-end push by Democrats to lift the military's ban on openly gay troops on Thursday, dealing a huge blow to gay rights groups' hopes for repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" any time soon. President Barack Obama instantly appealed to lawmakers to make another, last-ditch try before going home for the year.

OK, this is personal and it's starting to feel really personal.
My daughter, like all my children is the joy of my life. I would do anything for her and sacrifice my life without thinking, for her. . . as I would for any of my children. That's just the way I am and I've proven all that to be true at various times and in various situations in my life.
Now I have to sit here and be still while the right wing members of the United States Senate tell me and her that she is not good enough to be in the United States military because of who she is and what she is by birth.
My beautiful daughter was raised very much like all my other children. The cool thing about her is that she, as the youngest is the most well adjusted, happiest and has the best self esteem of all of them. She is as well rounded and talented as any of my children which makes her very well rounded and talented.
She's one of the best shots I know with a rifle and is a very respectable shot with a compound bow. She loves to hunt and fish and hang out in the woods and around the farm. When she walks around out here she is like a cat attentive and aware of every sight and sound. I don't know a better stalker.
But the senate republicans are telling me and her that she's not good enough to be in the military as she is.
It's starting to feel really personal.
You're telling me and my child she's not good enough to do whatever she's perfectly capable of doing?
Are these the same fucking pricks who talk about "family values?" Are these the same recreant sons of bitches who pretend to defend and be concerned with what happens to children?
Listen up you right wing pieces of garbage, you're fucking with MY kid. You're doing things that could damage My kid's self esteem and belief in herself.
It probably won't, but it could and it WILL effect thousands of kids across the country.

I'm tired of the anti-American, unpatriotic, unintellectual, unethical and immoral right wing agenda in this country. This is no longer the country I grew up believing in. It has become a farse. I'm just not sure it's worth caring about anymore.


And the biggest piece of shit mother fucker is. . . .

our very own freshman senator from WV!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin was the lone Democrat to vote Thursday against advancing a repeal of the military's ban on openly gay service members.

In a 57-40 vote, the Senate failed to get the 60 votes needed on a key procedural move to start debate on overturning the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

The vote went largely along party lines.

Reversing the 1993 policy now looks unlikely to happen any time soon, although supporters vowed to try again before year's end.

This is exactly why I never felt so dirty voting for someone as I did when I voted for this scumbag.

Political rage. . .

Never did I support a presidential candidate the way I supported Barack Obama.

Never have I been so angry at a democrat in the White House in my entire life. . . or any other president.

I fear all is lost, and I've always had hope and faith in the future of our country.

Yes, Co-conspirators!

Republicans achieve top goal in Obama tax-cut plan

By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press –
WASHINGTON – Republicans control neither the House nor the Senate — and certainly not the White House. But they largely dictated the terms of President Barack Obama's proposed tax-cut compromise, which disgruntled congressional Democrats want to discuss in closed meetings that are likely to be rowdy.
Republicans prevailed on their biggest demand: continuing Bush administration tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, despite Obama's 2008 campaign promise to let them expire for households earning more than $250,000 a year. Obama, while acknowledging Democratic unrest, agreed to extend the tax breaks for two years, whereas Republicans wanted a permanent extension.

Here again we have the corpo-fascists dictating terms even though they are not in charge. THEY are the ones getting exactly what they want. THEY are the ones telling the majority how it's going to be. Can the democrats be anything but co-conspirators?

I never thought you would stoop this low Mr. President. I have believed in you since I heard you speak when you won Iowa. I thought you had a master plan for change and making things more equal in America. unfortunately I was wrong. you are just another political lackey who is giving it all up to the corpo-fascists who obviously control you and everyone else.
You're no Kennedy or Lincoln, you're just another paid off prick who's selling this country down the road and helping to destroy the middle class.

Hold on to your ass folks. After the new year, the republicans are going to control the house. They are going to act like kids in a free candy store. With the democrats letting them do whatever they want and them wanting to bend the democrats over and stick it in them deep every day, it's going to be one big love fest on capital hill. Obama will let them do whatever they want as he whispers sweet nothings into your ear.

The people will continue to bleed and the republicans will continue to extract more blood.

Our country is gone. It's only a matter of time before we are living in a totally feudal society.

Co-conspirators?

GOP, Dems nearing deal on taxes, jobless benefits
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press – 1 hr 52 mins ago
WASHINGTON – An outline of a bipartisan economic package is emerging that would temporarily extend the Bush-era tax rates for all taxpayers, while extending jobless benefits for millions of Americans.

This is insane. Maybe it's true that dems are just as corporate oriented as the repubs; they are just as manipulated but perceived differently. Maybe the power mongers and resource hoarders are just as involved in the manipulation of the left as they are of those on the right.
Why else would the dems be so impotent? Why else would they not be getting on the bully pulpit and demanding, in front of the American people, that this issue be resolved in a manner that taxes the rich fairly and provides for the unemployed and the middle class that has been devastated.
Look around you!! What happened to the middle class and all those manufacturing jobs? Does no one care or notice? Is it because they were so working class oriented?

Come on don't let it be true. I'm begging the democratic leadership to stand up and deliver us a real package that taxes the upper 1% fairly and extends unemployment benefits to those who really need them.

Ask yourself; why did the republicans get everything they wanted while the dems seem to continually come up empty?
Are they spineless or co-conspirators?

HughesNet SUCKS!!

Just in case anyone missed my last post on the topic. . . .

You might as well stick with dial-up.

It's too slow to do anything that requires anything like streaming.

If you go over your allotted amount of download in a 24hr. period (amounts to only a few youtube videos) they will cut you off.

HughesNet SUCKS!!!

Empowering the overlords

So we raise the retirement age and cut deductions for healthcare.
Meanwhile, the tax rate on everyone including the rich is lower than it's been since 1950. Yes, 1950, before we had medicaid/medicare, WIC, a space program, and hundreds of other programs that make us a modern society. These are things that over the years, the people decided we needed in order to push back the frontiers of social justice and science.
So now, in the 21st Century, who has decided that we need to go backwards? Who has decided that we need to let the rich get away with accumulating all our national resources in their pockets?
I'm not sure the answer to that question, but I do know that it's the American people who keep going along with this bullshit charade.
So when your healthcare sucks, as wages continue to drop, as jobs disappear, as more and more people have less and less, remember what YOU voted for. Remember who these dirty little prick fucks are who are advocating the redistribution of wealth in this country in an upward spiral.
My country and it's people are beginning to make me very sad. That so many people can vote AGAINST the common good and FOR the ultra-rich overlords leads me to believe we have become a country of very ignorant and very stupid proles.


Deficit-cutting plan wins more support before vote

AP –
By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Pres
WASHINGTON – Defying expectations, a bipartisan majority of President Barack Obama's deficit commission has rallied behind the panel's controversial deficit-slashing proposals.
A key Obama ally, liberal Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, endorsed the plan Thursday night, joining two of the Senate's most conservative Republicans.
The plan now has public commitments of support from a majority of the 18-member commission, but it still will fall short of the 14 votes needed to officially adopt it when the deficit-cutting panel votes on Friday.
Among its many contentious provisions, the plan would raise the Social Security retirement age and scale back popular tax deductions on health insurance and mortgage interest.

Repealing "don't ask, don't tell."

It's the 21st Century. Let's get real here folks.
The Pentagon has issued a report that says the troops won't mind if gays serve in the military openly and the leaders of the military won't mind. The report says gays ought to be able to serve in the military openly.
Admiral Mike Mullens, who as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is the highest ranking military officer in the nations says we need to repeal it and let gays serve in the military openly.
Sec. of Defense Robert Gates says the time is now and let's do it before the courts force us to do it.

So what will the tea baggers in congress do? Sen. John McCain believes that DaDT is working and we should leave it alone. Many of the republicans in congress have come out strongly against any "gay rights."

Yes folks, bigotry and hate are still alive and well in Amurkkka. Those on the right prove it on a daily basis.

I am so sick of people of any persuasion, color, religion, beliefs, handicap, etc. being forced to defend themselves. It's just so fucking primitive. It's so damned ignorant and backwoods.

Those in congress who have any bit of human decency should make this happen and make it happen NOW! It will be a precedent for our entire society. It will be something as fair and just as the Civil Rights Act. It will change people's perceptions of others making them more accepting and in turn better human beings. And most important, it will change many young people's perceptions of themselves and give them a higher degree of self esteem and ability to grow and develop. Who doesn't want that? Look around the republican side of the aisle to get the answer to that question.

Let's see those in congress who DO have integrity and human decency push this through ASAP.
It's that simple.
