The Peruser

By RF Schatten Another exile from the Funny Farm, joins the GOP's "Stupid Remarks of the Day" Club. He calls himself, a Domestic Freedom Fighter...well, I guess one man's Freedom Fighter...is another man's Fool. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/congress-freedom-fighters

By RF Schatten Why the American Republican Party, has turned into the American Batshit Party. “It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.” ~~ George Santayana Remember, we're dealing with the most social ignorance in America, since the 1950s...they lack the social graces, social intelligence, and most of all...any semblance of humility...they're just pawns, exploited and manipulated by a more dark and sinister shadow entity, of our Society. They 'are' their own worst enemy...they're also on the losing side of "Conventional Wisdom" today. We're in the 21st Century!! not the 20th or 19th...we have evolved as a Society...progress is marching on, and no one can stop it...that's Life!! George Bernard Shaw and Bobby Kennedy were right; some people look at things the way they are, and ask why? That's how Batshit America looks at life. Conventional Wisdom is now saying; We dream of things that never w...

by RF Schatten "Sometimes is wiser to remain silent and be considered a fool, than speak up and remove all doubts" ~~ Anonymous Don't criticize someone, whose current popularity is far greater than yours...people don't care about that Oval Office Tryst, anymore...it's a different world out there!! They do care about the guy, who refused to disclose his fortune...a slap to the face of his decent Father's integrity...now, that was embarrassing!! The statement on Bill Clinton, comes from a man the represents the most embarrassing, despicable and indecent aspect of Wall Street..."Leverage Buyout Brokers" now, that's a little embarrassing. But, what's the most embarrassing thing about this Fool, saying all this BS?? Clinton became a very popular President x2, and still remains just as, or even more popular...Romney looked liked a pathetic fool, in the most comically followed race in history, watched throughout the world, lost big ...

by Margarita Mercure Hibbs  ' When Jimmy Kimmel said, "This just wasn't Rick's year. 1954 is Rick Santorum's year." He is not kidding. The GOP wants to take women back to the 1950's and strip us of all our civic, healthcare/reproductive and labor rights! Every woman's and Democratic organization better start hosting Voting Guide Open Houses with good hard copy articles, resourced charts and good training and candidate DVDs to go along with good food and drink to get them to understand the importance of voting. Too many of all voting age women are not even registered to vote! Time to break out the template of presentations that Mary Kay Cosmetics uses. If they can sell makeup in an informal, cozy fashion in small groups of women 6-12, around a kitchen table or living room, then surely we can get them to see the importance of voting.  It is good to see Organizing for America doing something like this. Otherwise, women are going to find...

By RF Schatten Life sure is something! When you got it...you are the greatest thing in this whole “Wide World of Influence”; you're smart, handsome, a debonair man about town!...how to make friends and influence people type of guy. The sweet smell of success is all around you...and you can do absolutely nothing wrong! (even, if you are the greatest schmuck on the face of this planet) and above all, Lady Luck seems to be with you every minute of your life! But! When you’re down and out…and you really don't have it anymore!…suddenly, you're Mr. Nobody; you were never that smart, you're really not that handsome after all, that debonair air smells more like the sweet smell of failure...you just can't do anything right, people start to see that you really 'are' a Schmuck!...and you can't for your life's sake get that “Lady” to shine some luck on you, even for a lousy 30 seconds in the day.  And, for that final kick in the ass! ...you can...

by RF Schatten On Monday, April 26, 2010, I was talking to a friend about American Politics, and wrote the following: “The Conservative movement, is genuinely scared, because, from the beginning of time, the greatest evil to the Conservative Elitism, has been “Reform”...they don't want Reform, they don't want to change the Status Quo...it is a very real threat to their very own existence. And, when that happens, their only goal, is the resumption of power, which they controlled, for so many years. If Obama, is successful, and the American Progressive Movement take full control, Conservatism, would be out of favor for 30-40 years...and for that, they 'will' do, whatever it takes to avoid that scenario...even, at the cost, of taking the Nation down”. This was just my personal thoughts...much before the Occupy Movement, before 99% became a household word, before anyone heard of Gene Sharp, before anyone knew of the disastrous GOP Debates, and the cast of ch...

by RF Schatten When Ronald Reagan's “Shining City On A Hill” hit the airwaves...everyone, suddenly felt so much confidence about what direction, we as a Nation, were headed. “It's Morning Again in America!” , his ads would say. Well...at least, some people did believe, that America was turning 'that' corner, where prosperity was just at your finger tips ...others, knew better. But, the general belief then, was that we...as a Nation, were indeed headed on that right path...to better and more prosperous times. But, here in this Country, we live in a constant state of Political Metaphors...what the American public, didn't really understand was, that the prosperity...so romantically and eloquently stated...really applied to those who are prosperous...the economically advantaged. Trickle Down Economics!! Set an economic structure, that those in the loop, will be handsomely rewarded...whatever is left, will 'trickle' down to everyone else...but, appa...
