The Peruser

By RF Schatten If John Boehner can file lawsuits against the President, for doing his job...can the American Public, take Boehner and Congress to court...for absolutely doing nothing, in 'their' job?? Let's speak about "Executive Orders". Does the President have the right? or doesn't have the right? I don't believe that John Boehner can be that stupid, but he repeatedly finds a way to prove me wrong. Intellectual Dishonesty to the Intellectually Challenged...because only those, will believe his intellectual horseshit. The rest of the world, just needs to use a little common sense, read some History, and look up all the facts and info they dare to read, in the Internet. It's a different world out there, today...and a very frustrating one, for Political Bullshit Artists!! For the record, speaking of Executive Orders; The 1st Executive Order was made by George Washington...since then, every President, with the exception of William Henry Harrison, c...

 By RF Schatten Learn from your past, America!! It worked once before, and it will work again. It's the only natural way, for a Civilized Country to economically recover...everyone working together, and helping each other. Our strength as a Nation, doesn't come from our Military prowess...but from "We, the People" Twitter / SenSanders: The choice is clear. Let's ...

 By RF Schatten Allowing the Inmates to run the Asylum. Deregulating Wall Street??…because all those Bankers and Stock Brokers, are so honest and trustworthy…and only care about the welfare of our nation, and what’s good for the people…remember!! they’re the “Job Creators”!! Well!! with that said…Shit does floats to the top…and with all the filth, that is constantly exchanged between Politicos and their Benefactors…they might as well, just do it openly!! Be honest!! The GOP represents the top 1% of this nation, and they will do anything, even if it means the destruction of our society, in this country…to protect the elite, and particularly the Koch Bros, who stand to gain the most…and who represents every Immoral, Indecent, and Religious Value, the GOP stands for today. Deregulate!! so that all the people who have been ripped off, and scammed by Bankers and Stock Brokers…can now be ripped off and scammed…legally!! Allow the Banking Industry to charge whatever exorbitant rates...

 By RF Schatten  "No Amount Of American Firepower Can Hold Iraq"...pretty powerful statement!! Is it coincidence, that just days ago, Condi Rice spoke in similar tones?? "Sometimes there are those who say that maybe, there are just those who don't have the DNA for Democracy...maybe, they're just 'not' ready for Democracy". Maybe...just maybe...all this effort, is just not meant to be...it was never meant to be. Another fruitless exercise in Democracy by Force...didn't work in Vietnam, it did n't work in Iraq...two countries separated by Race, Ethnicity, Religions, Cultures, and Traditions, but one thing has held a common bond: The Inability of the people, to make their own self-determination. Now, there's those who don't agree with Obama and Rice...who believe America should send in, our finest...to help those, who don't want us there. The only people asking for our help, are those we put in power!!...not the population!! ...

By RF Schatten Before the GOP Congressional leaders have an orgasmic implosion of "We told you so"!! May I remind our esteem colleagues on the Right...it wasn't Barack Obama, who pulled the troops out of Iraq...George W. Bush, signed a "Status of Forces Agreement" that set deadlines for the end of U.S. combat operations as of June 30, 2009...and, for all U.S. Forces to be pulled out of Iraq by December 30, 2011. Nowhere, does Barack Obama's signature appear in the agreement...but, who's ever gonna blame "Mr. Mission Accomplished"?!?! Now, you have a dysfunctional Republican leadership...led by a man, John McCain, whose entire Political career and persona is a based on a failed, very mediocre military career, that started back at the Naval Academy...and whose only heroism, was refusing to leave his men, as a POW. It's Election Year...no one wants war...except the ignorantly stupid. McCain wants one last hurrah, in the military theate...

 By RF Schatten It's the summer of an election cycle, so what's more appropriate for Fox and the Republican Machine, to bring into the Political Arena??...Superheroes!! As if the GOP didn't have any issues to wage a gripe about...go after that a portion of Americana...for which no one, has ever really cared, whatsoever!!...whether Batman, or Ironman, or Superman...or any other Superhero...is Conservative, leans Conservative, Libertarian, or Liberal!!...who the hell cares?!?!? It's just anoth er part of the GOP's war against American Society and today's values...because?? They don't know!!...It's that perpetual, cognitive resonance they all constantly live with!! They have waged a war on Women, Gays, Blacks, Hispanics, the Elderly, the Young, and the Poor...they are waging a war on Education, Environmental Regulations, and specially Social Entitlements...including Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security Benefits, and Welfare Assistance/Food Stamps...

 By RF Schatten Racism exposes the ignorance in modern society. This act, is just more disgraceful shit perpetrated by the Christian Right...in the name of "Religious Freedom". Hate is Hate, no matter how you try to sugar coat your denial. This is just ano ther evidence, why the Christian Right has lost so much credibility. Social Conservative Christianity is an offensive Insult to Christians around the world. The GOP's standard line is; we don't hate anyone...it's the Democrats who say nasty things, and attribute it to us. Translation: That's not us...that's those crazy religious freaks!! But, where is their loud, wide public condemnation?? Faith And Freedom Conference Features Obama Urinal Cakes

By RF Schatten Political retirement, mellows out that partisanship in favor of a little more objectivity. Reflecting back, you might say; "Why the hell!! did I do that??...oh!! I remember now, oops!! Take politics out of the equation...and look at events from the Historical perspective...it was a total failure from day one!! The act of coming to the aid of oppression, against a ruthless dictator...may be very cavalier...but simple, common understanding of someone's culture and ways, can get you a lot farther, than trying to win their Hearts and Minds...on your terms. Now you have the Republican Hawks, with John "Maverick" McCain, leading the latest "Charge!!" chants..."bomb the hell out of them!!" You see, the Iraqi Army is useless...we must go back, and help the Iraqis not lose everything, we have brought to them...though McCain, never volunteered to lead that mission...just too embarrassing to get shot down...again!! We are too quick to...

 By RF Schatten It's the "Year of the Woman", in the American Political Theater. You have Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky, Michelle Nunn in Georgia...both Democrats, and currently either leading or in a dead tie...and then you have Republican Shelley Moore Capito and Democrat Natalie Tennant, competing for West Virginia's open US Senate seat, recently vacated by Jay Rockefeller. Capito is expected to win, which will help in the GOP's quest in overtaking the Senate...but, if she doesn't?? It'll still go to a Woman!! Currently, the US Senate is comprised of 20 women and 80 men...that's not the greatest percentage in representation...not, when you look at women comprising over 50% of the population. There's not much difference in the House, either...only 82 Women serve as US Reps...out of 438!! The Governors?? 5 out of 50!!...but there's a slew of women running, out there. There's going to be some house redecorating at State Mansions...

By RF Schatten Parents should alienate their "Gay" kids...and turn them over to "Satan". For this; Pastor John MacArthur, is today's "Batshit Person of the Day" Be my guest, and read about this so called Christian - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/13/pastor-alienate-gay-kids_n_5491931.html

By RF Schatten If "Religious Freedom" protects “Discrimination Against Jews”...then, this same “Religious Freedom” should also protect “Discrimination Against Religious Ignorance” You can discriminate against anyone you want...whether they're Black, White, Hispanic, Oriental, Muslim...Gay or Straight, Male or Female...it's your basic human right. You can dislike somebody, all you want...even to the point of hatred. You can ignore them, stay away from them...as long as you don't have to see them or talk to them. But, if they come to your place of business?...you still can't turn them away. It doesn't matter who you are, how you look, how you sound...any race, color, or creed!! discrimination is discrimination!!...sugar coated as a “Religious Freedom”...but it's still discrimination. The hatred that someone has for someone else, whether it's based on Color, Gender, or Religious preference...cannot be finagled by creating loopholes in law inter...

By RF Schatten When you have nothing left to say; blame the other guy for your failures...in the case of John Boehner, like the rest of the GOP...his Obama accusations got too old, too quick, for too long. But you got to love his audacity!!...blaming a sitting President, from an opposite Political Party...for a primary election defeat of a candidate by others within his party...who wanted to take his seat!! For a man who holds the most powerful seat, in the US House of Representatives; 'Speaker of the House'...John Boehner, if ever he had any sense of decorum and dignity...just flushed it down the crapper. In one clean swoop, he addressed the defeat of his distinguished colleague from the State of Virginia...with one of the lamest political excuses ever recorded, for posterity. While simultaneously, by not acknowledging the real reasons for Cantor's loss...he appeased the Tea aficionados. The reason?? REASONS!! "Cantor's defeat was the fault of Obama'...

 By RF Schatten What!!...I lost?? It's impossible!! Internal Polling had him by 34 points to win, and lost by 12...somebody wasn't doing their math!! From all the headlines, it appears Eric's historic defeat, may have triggered off the final straw, within the GOP...and their Tea loving allies; "GOP in Chaos", "Shocking!!", "Republican Civil War about to Explode", "Establishment has Lost Control", "Conservatives consider Eric Cantor a Fraud"...and more headlines and more stories...as the days pass. In the aftermath of such a 'surprise' story...at least, to Establishment Republicans...the spin doctors are spinning their BS...every Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, and Libertarian "Expert" Analyst...is expertly analyzing the situation...and all Political Writers, Columnists, and Bloggers...are writing their shpiel throughout the Internet and in Hard Copy. The Immigration Issue?? Bad Polling??...very bad...

By RF Schatten The continuing saga of the degeneration, of the human mind...and the ever growing conservative ignorance. Retaking the US and making it, into their own image...lovely!! What's the big surprise?? with all the hate in America, openly instigated by the Right Wing propaganda machine of FOXNews, Tea Party Activists, and GOP Politicos...since Barack Obama became President...it's a natural for this turn of events; scripted perfectly by those permitting all this, to occur. Right Wing NutJobs, in all their splendor and glory. Add to the list...Skin Heads, Aryan Nations, American Nazis, Open Carry Texans, and every wacko fringe group...all, ready to reclaim the Constitution...spewing the Republican line of horseshit. When you Rally, and openly "Prepare to overthrow the US Government"...that's an act of Terrorism!!...domestic terrorism, plain and simple!! If push comes to shove, will the Government "openly" invoke the Patriot Act?? Nobody wants...

 "Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare...It calls for the courage to say yes to encounter, and no to conflict." ~~~ Pope Francis All sides are taking the stance, that this unification of the minds...is not Political...but more of a Spiritual retreat (with political undertones). The fact, that Francis was able to arrange this little get-together, in just 2 weeks, is a testament to the growing respect, this man has accumulated...not because he's the Pope, but because of the Man he is. It's pretty powerful, to bring diplomatic civility and common sense, to 2 religiously ardent political leaders. Bringing in the Leader of the Christian Orthodox Church into the mix, signifies Francis' intentions to unify the world, in a quest for Peace. At the end, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists...all are God's Children!! How will all this, pan out with Social Christian America?? They'll make it more Political, than it already is!! The Pope is ...

 By RF Schatten Oh!! how people forget!!...but maybe, they just don't want to remember?? It's hard to be proud of secretly trafficking Cocaine...while the 1st Lady, was publicly crying out; "Say no to Drugs"!! or secretly selling Arms to a country, in whic h they publicly, imposed International Sanctions on. The October Surprise??...there's no surprise for someone whose own Morals, have been in question since his days, with the Screen Actors Guilt and the McCarthy Hearings. Republicans and Tea aficionados worship Ronald Reagan...he symbolizes all the illusions, that Social Conservatives so highly believe in. Ronald Reagan, was also an Actor...a "B" actor, whose greatest performance was left for last...it's not hard for a B Movie Star, to captivate the imagination of this crowd.   Alexander Theroux said; "Hypocrisy is the essence of Snobbery, but all Snobbery, is a problem of belonging" . The GOP today, has a serious problem of self-d...

By RF Schatten Texas, is racing furiously in its attempt to reign supreme, as the #1 most Batshit GOP State Convention, in the Country. Their Platform? The full repeal of the 17th Amendment of the US Constitution, Elimination of Executive Orders and all Executive Powers...Blah! Blah! Blah! No surprises here!! Now, for Texas' eyes only...Supports the repeal of the Prohibition on Corporal Punishment in Public Schools...yep!! that's going to go over, real well!...and, If they pack in Open Carry Texas??...even better!! The Oppose Mandatory Vaccinations of School Children...now, that's just plain moral ignorance....Polio anyone?? Texas ranks among the worst Children Health Systems in the country. Now, for the most uniquely stupid platform of the day..."Gay Conversion Therapy"!! They must have consulted, with the utmost authority in America on the extraction of Gayness from the Human Body...Marcus Bachmann and his lab assistant, Michele. They call it "Exorcising ...

 By RF Schatten We have become a Country without Pity. Acts of shameless indecency, perpetrated by the American Right Wing and it's Mouthpiece, FOXNews...all just for Political Gains, Demagoguery, and Grandstanding. Michael Tomasky wrote; "Let’s face it: There is no question that if President George W. Bush or a President McCain or President Romney had secured Bergdahl’s release, in exchange for five Taliban prisoners at Gitmo, Republicans would be defending the move...all the way!!". Ignored the Law?? Obama acted, as any other conscientious President would have...others, have done it in the past. Sometimes an opportunity rises, to get an American out of harm's way...you take it...and by-pass the 30 days notice!! Usually intelligent people would understand...but, today's not too Loyal Opposition, is not that intelligent...and frankly, they don't give a damn!! You don't negotiate with Terrorists?? Between 2007 and 2009, George W. Bush negotiated ...

 By RF Schatten We have an internment camp at our military base in Guantanamo...where 154 "Detainees" have been our House Guests, since Bush II's desert excursion in behalf of his Texas associates, and his search of Magical WMDs...at a cost of $800,000/yr per Detainee...compared to the $25,000/yr cost of a Federal Prisoner. The Operating Costs for the camp, since it opened in 2002...runs at $150 Million/yr. And in all of this, 'We', the Taxpayers...are the ones, forking up our hard earned money to keep this place, open!! Now, after the Exchange, we have 149 detainees left...and what to do with them??...that's the $64,000 Dollar Question. You have an outcry by the Left...with a lot of nudging from the Right... that Obama has not kept his promise to close, the camp facility at Gitmo. Then you have all those, who don't want the remaining 149, to be transferred into the United States...so where do they go?? Remember, they haven't even been charged...
