The perpetual War...and the perpetual eludible Peace

By RF Schatten Contrary to the belief that it's a good thing to continue a war, till one side, stops continuing to exist...there's no "Good War"...they, stop existing after WWII, as Studs Terkel elegantly wrote. Ever since then, all we've had, are wars for profit...Ike warned us of the Military Industrial Complex, and Kennedy got suckered in. He realized it was a mistake, and decided to get out...but Dallas blocked those plans. How about under the table deals, involving the trade of Arms for Drugs...or giving WMD's and Chemical Weapons, to combat Iran and the Ayatollah. Still amazed, where the hell did Saddam ever hide whatever he had left...not counting what he used on the Kurds and the Shiites? And how about the Soviet Union? To every Russian, Afghanistan is 'their' Vietnam...the first time the staunchly proud Soviet Red Army, ever retreated from a battle. And who in the Mujahedin received an order of endless supplies of care packages, via FedEx/CI...

The GOP's shameless lack of humility towards Children...and other living things

By RF Schatten We condemn other countries...even condemn President Obama about killing civilians...yet we don't condemn Israel. Why? Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) insisted he was totally comfortable, with Israel killing thousands of civilians in the current war...if it meant wiping out Hamas. "It's worth it", said Kirk. This 'warning' to the President...is it suppose to instill fear on Obama? because if they think, they're going to manipulate a "Low Poll Ratings" President...don't underestimate Barack Obama. Low Poll ratings tend to rise in times of crisis...as it did for another one, on a sunny Sept.11th morning...things, tend to turn around rather quickly. Republicans are playing with fire...and in an election year? it looks like a death wish. To make a long story, short. The GOP does not want anyone to negotiate a Peace Treaty...allow one side to systematically, destroy the other...while condemning the other, for everything that's happened. ...

ReaganBook: Their own little piece of CyberSpace

 By RF Schatten "Facebook for Patriots"...how Patriotic!! Looks like all those Trolls, wiggling themselves throughout all the Facebook Groups ...have come to the realization, no one likes them. With a Facebook user list at 1.32 Billion+, you would presume. ..somebody out there, likes them? Maybe, is just their Politics not in style, at this time...the world is much more liberal, now days. Conservatives, believe Facebook is too Liberal, so they are launching..."ReaganBook"!! complete in a patriotic Red, White, and Blue decor. Now, Conservatives, Christian Conservatives, Libertarians, and others from all over the Net...can migrate to ReaganBook, co-mingle, plus troll and annoy each other to death. Try it out!!...first inside reviews? “We’re tearing down walls of tyranny and censorship,"...translation: you're allowed to spread Hate Speech... It's a Conservative Christian, Family Values version of Sodahead. It's very interesting, that a Pro Fami...

GOP to America: Rich Kids eat Filet Mignon. Poor kids? Let them eat Cake!!

 By RF Schatten God, Family, and Country...which comes first to you?? If you're a Republican...add $$$. Which comes first to them?? What Republicans are truly all about: The world, for the Rich and the Famous...trickle a buck or two, to those ignorant inside the middle class, for their vote...and the infamous Royal Screw Job to the Poor!! If you make $160,000/yr or more...you get a $2,200 Tax Cut. If you make $14,000/yr or less...you lose $1,725. Makes sense?? only, if you're rich. Republicans love kids...if their parents have a lot of $$$. They just proved, that they absolutely don't give a rat's ass for those less fortunate. Now, you will find Dumbo believers, trolling around...extolling all the virtues of Republicanism. Why is it a good thing to help the rich?? and why is it a good thing, to take it away from the poor...and give it to the rich?? a little touch of oligarchical flair, to all this. They will throw their everlasting supply of political horseshit, to co...

Michele's homophobic despair...and the ever loving Ignorance, that believes her

 By RF Schatten The queen of batshit American homophobia, is at it again!! I guess the Bachmann Family's "Gay Exorcism" Clinic, where Marcus will miraculously...for the right price...exorcize all your gayness away!! has slowed down quite a bit, now that ga yness is viewed in a more favorable light. She needs to stir up some business!!   The one dimensional hatred, the embarrassing lies, and the sheer ignorance this crazy lady spews...it's not hard to see, why she's retiring...her so called righteous life, is quickly catching up. And it appears now, it wasn't so righteous after all. Her next travels in her road of life??... from Congress to Prison...for both, Michele and Marcus the Exorcist. Michele in prison??...with all those women!! that would make an interesting scenario. For Marcus??...could be in 7th Heaven!!   Human intelligence in our society knows all this horseshit, is just that. The fact, today's Right prefers to live in our society, in a r...

57% Support ACA ...and the GOP, still doesn't get it

By RF Schatten Cognitive Dissonance must be ripping through the hearts of many Republicans...that's their disease. They just cannot imagine, the political reality of their argument...and, they will refuse to listen...because naturally, they're going to be absolutely right. Yea...right!!   Reality bites, and is biting the GOP right up their butts. 'This', is what they just don't want to listen to: 1) 20 million Americans (10 million who were uninsured) picked up health insurance or enrolled in new plans. By November, when Open Enrollment begins again...expect all their neighbors, to make a mad dash for 'their' medical insurance. 2) Young people up to 25, can stay in their Parent's Plan...3 out of every 4 Americans support this part of the Affordable Care Act, including, more than two-thirds of Republicans. 3) 83% of Americans supports the ACA ban on pre-existing condition limits. 4) 88% of all Americans support the ACA's Small Business Tax Cred...

Being a proud Liberal

 Be proud of what Liberalism stands for!! We have survived a Great Depression and numerous recessions...because, of 'who' we are!! Who led us into the greatest depression in US History? and who's led us in the highest unemployment rates? Conservatives!!. Who have publicly acknowledged by their words and/or actions, they don't care about the Poor, about the Sick, about the Hungry, about the Elderly, or about the Youth? Conservatives, that's who!! Now, who's led this country out of a depression? and who's led this country, out of our worst recessions? Who cares for the Sick, the Poor, the Hungry, the Elderly, the Young...and the Mothers? Liberals, that's who!! Be proud of being a Liberal, and shout it out loud!! Because of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and other plans implemented...all of us, Liberals, Conservatives, Rich, or Poor...have enjoyed a much finer quality of life, than anyone else in the world!! Conservatives identify Liberal...

Rick Perry remembers the Alamo, and braces for the Invasion of the dastardly Fruity Loops

By RF Schatten Rick Perry, the Master of Oops, appears he really wants to run for President...just, one more time. This whole spectacle on the US/Mexico Border, is all election cycle Political Grandstanding...a very expensive political reality show, to put on. But what's $$$ to Rick Perry?? it's the Taxpayers'. The genius of this man...send in a force of 1,000 National Guardsman to help protect the Border, against an invading force of pre-teen kids. His actions?? "I will not stand idly by while American Citizens are attacked". As Jon Stewart said; "Don't call it an invasion, till the invaders can reach and open their own cereal boxes"!! In Perry's statement, while mentioning American Citizens being attacked, he also mentioned "children living in squalor". Unless he meant American kids on the Texas border, which with Perry's Texas Welfare policies, is very probable...he's talking about the invaders!! And if they live in squal...

The Honor...or Dishonor...of being mentioned in the Oxford Dictionary

By RF Schatten Congratulations to the Tea Party, Christian Conservatives, and all other Right Wing organizations!! You officially made it into the Oxford Dictionary...we all had faith, you would some day!! The Oxford Organization, is now using these groups as examples of what "Bigotry" really means. For years everyone knew the KKK, the Arian Nation, Neo-Nazis, and Social Conservative Christians...are Bigots and Racists. Many, still would dispute that charge...they never admit publicly, they 'are'...they just physically and verbally 'demonstrate' their true feelings. Now, they can proudly be universally identified as Hate Groups. There's other hate groups around...so, for a complete list, check out the "Southern Poverty Law Center". What many fail to mention, is today's "Suits" version of hate groups...those who function in a more legitimate and civil manner...under the guise of Citizens United, Americans for Prosperity, and Freedo...

Politicizing and Exploiting Religion, for Hate

 By RF Schatten Barack Obama exploiting the crash to benefit the gay agenda?? More like Christian Talk Hosts, exploiting the immense Ignorance of their flock. Politicize a tragedy to normalize "Sexual Deviancy"?? If anyone is trying to politicize anything...it's this soulless excuse of a human being. The hatred for a Black man is so great with White Christian America, that it's become the norm, to attack the President for whatever excuse they can muster up...and rally their fanatically faithful, with it. First, was the Batshit Radio theories that the downing of MH17, was a conspiracy by Obama to help the Dems in November...now, this latest horseshit. Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Savage, Imus, Ingraham...and company...live for finding or creating anything, out of anything...as long as they can gather their masses and lead them through their continuous, never-ending journey into nowhere. Let them believe, that they 'are' what God meant for Christianity to be l...

Illusions: The Cubans' Love Affair with the GOP

 By RF Schatten   Another shinning example of the lack of understanding of a Multicultural Society, by the GOP. Cuban Society in the the United States is no different now, than it was back in Cuba, throughout its post independence since the early 1900s... Cu bans have always tended to be Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal. With the Cuban influx since 1959, it really didn't changed much...Cuban Culture has remained basically the same. How did they become Republicans?? When Jack Kennedy pulled out of his assistance at the Bay of Pigs!! The Miami Cuban Community didn't appreciate that, so to spite JFK, they registered Republican. Through the years the old guard would vote GOP blindly...not because of the Party's ideology, but because the Party's continually infused Castro sound bytes; Fighting Communism in Cuba, and Remember what JFK did to them. Well!! the last of the old guard is in their 90s, still saying that Fidel will be overthrown in about 2 weeks to...

Scott Brown plays Hide and Seek...in the Little Boys Room

BY RF Schatten A stupid mistake for a politician to avoid: If you lose an election, don't carpetbag yourself across state line, and then, re-market yourself as one of them!! Stupid Mistake #2?? Don't ever pull that stunt in New Hampshire!! After losing the Women by 18 points in Massachusetts...this self-proclaimed astute, former Colonel with the Judge Advocate General's Corps, Real Estate Lawyer, Model, and Cosmopolitan Centerfold...decided his name was mud in Mass, so why not move across the border, to the Granite State?? But something happened on his way to Concord...New Hampshire, that is. Scott Brown may know...though, it appears he doesn't...Massachusetts Politics. He certainly doesn't know the "Live Free or Die" mindset on Political Candidates. New Hampshire treats politics and politicians a little different, than the rest of the country...they take their Politics seriously...political ads are a non-factor in New Hampshire. If you want to meet a ...

Legalizing Religious Bigotry?? With SCOTUS, you have a friend!!

By RF Schatten Before people go berserk on this issue, remember that the Court Ruling affects only "privately" held Corporations...it's not about "Public" Corporations where stockholders come in every color, race, and creed. It'll never succeed with Publicly held Corporations, even if they try the same Court route, for that ruling. Still, it's an issue in which SCOTUS was morally wrong. The Employer just pays for his Group Insurance...the Employee is the one who pays the premiums...and no one should have the right to tell his or her employee, what they may do, or how they should administer their own personal, Medical Plan. And the bullshit that Employers' Group Rates will increase with Obamacare??...is simply bullshit!! They are getting a better discount on Group Rates, than ever before. The entire Medical Insurance Industry is currently riding on a high, while treading in unfamiliar waters...never experienced before. The complaints?? all R...

Marco Rubio's Adventures in Science

 By RF Schatten "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate, the way these scientists are portraying it". Sounds very articulate!!...specially for a man who once was asked about the age of the Earth, for which th is self-proclaimed savior...who's "the only person that can beat Hillary"...said: "I'm not a Scientist, man!!"   He's publicly claimed, he's not a Scientist...and the whole world agrees...but, he believes that our Climate problems are not as bad as 99.9% of professional scientists, all over the world...says it is. With Miami scheduled to go under, as Sea Levels rise, it appears that concern in South Florida has risen sharply among the population...with the exception of those elected, to solve these problems. For Rubio and Gov. Rick Scott?? what problem?? to people like Rubio and Scott, it's the problem of our future generations...the 'screw them' "Reagan Republican me...

Darrell Issa: The living embodiment of today's Republican Party Morals

By RF Schatten He represents everything that the GOP, privately stands for...and publicly displays. He's got superficial charm, pretentious self-worth, is a habitual liar, with a lack of empathy, remorse , and guilt. Darrell Issa 'is' today's Republican P arty. It's no surprise that 'Politicians" share identical pathological traits with "Serial Killers".   What kind of character is Darrell Issa?? A man who admits to spending the taxpayers' $$$ for Political Theater...and who has issued more subpoenas (almost 100) than the last 3 previous chairmen, combined...and in half the time!! What has all his investigations led to?? nothing at all!! just Political Grandstanding...which he now admits to do, as part of his everyday life. A sleaze with a criminal past, and how $$$ and influence can get records expunged...and a businessman infamously associated with the Fire Insurance claims industry. Issa is the embodiment of what the GOP preaches. He...

If things aren't crazy enough in Ole Miss...the Clown Squad is coming to the Rescue

 By RF Schatten Chris McDaniel ran a filthy, disgusting, and extremely disrespectful race...yet, he has the gull to suggest that his opponent cheated!! Only a Batshit Tea mentality, appreciates all this political theater. I guess cheating, is something Rep ublicans know too well!!   This race was meant to be a breeze for McDaniel...his opponent was too old, and McDaniel was riding a high on PAC $$$...and then, came the shameless antics, involving Thad Cochran's poor sick wife. Was this race fixed?? Apparently it was Certified with all its blessings, by the Mississippi Republican Party...then sent to the Governor...and on, to become Officially Certified by the Secretary of State. Did the whole Ole Miss GOP conspire against the Tea Party?? If they did...does anyone feel sorry for the Tea Party?? Maybe the old GOP establishment, is finally growing some cojones??...something that wouldn't hurt a lot of Democrats, either!! My bet, is that McDaniel is so repulsive, that even man...

White House to Boehner: Hey!! read this!!

 By RF Schatten A Business Consultant, who happens to be Speaker of the House, wants to challenge a Constitutional Lawyer/Professor, who happens to be President of the United States...on the constitutionality of the Constitution. And do it, on behalf of the US House of Representatives!!...with all expenses paid, courtesy of the taxpayers of the United States!! With a track record for least accomplishments by any Congress in history. His reputation as a master in the art of political fornication, is all he has going for him...all, just to keep his precious Speakership Throne. He has become the fool of the old establishment...entertaining the "New" Republicans with old fashioned Political Grandstanding, that's not going to go anywhere, and if it does?...it will end in another political embarrassment. John Boehner has absolutely nothing left to offer his grand old party, no one has him in their dance card...just more embarrassments for Republicans, and their failure i...

How to run an Ethics Committee, without Ethics...ask a Republican

 By RF Schatten The House Ethics Committee, eliminates the "Ethics Rule"...and does it, in secret!! Really Ethical!! Well, we all know how Ethical the GOP is, today. The GOP unwritten code: Do not ever pass a single bill, from the black guy...and do not ever pass up a single trip, from your favorite Lobbyist. Their sheer arrogance!!...they knew it was completely unethical...and they also knew, the outrage when the public became aware. So, they did it in a Secret meeting!!...there's something unethical about holding a public meeting, in private. And they would've gotten away with it, if they didn't get busted!! 'This', is just more proof of who their true friends, really are...and 99% of us, are not one of them. You wonder why seemingly educated people, would try such a political stunt??...that publicly exposes their insatiable greed, for the good old American Dollar!! With elections right around the corner...are they really that stupid?? or is it the tai...

Dow Tops 17k ...Republicans Freak-out

By RF Schatten Tunes of the old Democratic Party standard, "Happy Days Are Here Again", are resonating throughout the world of Economics...while the GOP appears dazed and confused, wondering why they just can't ever, get it right!! They'll find someone to blame for all this success...personally, I blame Obama!! The news was not just a big 'Slap' at the GOP's Chicken Little theory..."It's the end of our existence, the Economy is being destroyed by Socialists"...it was a 1-2 Knock Out punch!! First, the news that the DOW reached another milestone of uncharted territory. For the record; The Dow's rise during Bill Clinton's 8 years, was the largest in history...around +7, 010.23...and Clinton became the first President to preside over an economy, while the Dow went over the 10k Mark. In George W. Bush's 8 years, the Dow's rise was +2,985.72...or somewhere around there (couldn't crunch all the numbers...but, it's close)...

"A Virgin to Humiliation"...an Adulterous' self-denial

 By RF Schatten Humiliation…is about the only thing, Monica Lewinsky must have been a Virgin at. She wasn’t a young, innocent girl…she’s a college educated lady…she knew the risks and she knew the consequences. Her infamous affair with Bill Clinton, took place between 1995-97. In 1992, she started an affair with her former High School teacher, Andy Bleiler…married, with children…and it lasted till 1997. She must have been, one busy woman between 95 and 97!! She began her “Unpaid" Internship at the White House, for Leon Panetta, in July of 1995…by December of 95, she had a fully paid position at the White House’s Legislative Affairs Office. She’s no Virgin, on the practice of how to make friends and influence people…and, how get ahead in the political world. Now!! does it surprise anyone, of her sudden re-birth into the Great American Political Show?? Oh!! of course!! there’s these little rumors flying around, here and there…that Hillary may be running for Preside...
