Legalizing Weed in Oregon...it's been a long time coming!

RF Schatten CONGRATULATIONS OREGON!! 1st State to Decriminalize in 1973, 2nd State to go Medicinal in 1998 ...it was a struggle the last couple of years, but the 'greenest' state in the country...is going to get a lot $Greener$!! as it becomes the 3rd State to Legalize the Recreational use of Weed. Happy 420!! Earlier, Washington DC voted to Legalize the smoking of Marijuana in our Nation's Capital...though the sales are still not legal. And Alaska!!...your next!! It's no doubt they're looking good coming into tonight's vote. The sign, many in California have been waiting for...if Oregon goes legal...the Golden State will follow. In Northern California and Southern Oregon, the finest Weed grown in North America...and among the best qualities in the world...resides. Business is business...but tonight, is Party Night...it took a lot of hard work, a lot of walkngs, a lot of talking, a lot of knocking on doors! But it was the interactions between the communit...

Modern American Election: Rationalizing Cheating

By RF Schatten "Nobody will ever deprive the American People the Right to Vote, except the American People themselves...and the only way they can do this, is by not Voting"  ~~ Franklin D. Roosevelt Nice words to inspire...but, 70 years or so ago, people would listen and carefully rationalize others' words and thoughts. Today, we live in cynical times. JFK said in his inauguration, not to ask what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Today it's, screw what the country can do for you...it's what you can get away with, and how much...from screwing your country! We have an election, in which the central underlying issues, revolves around misinformation, voter suppression, and cheating. The public issues at stake? The Economy, Gays, Women, Black, Latinos, and the youth. What does the GOP platform stands for? Anti-Gays, Anti-Women, Anti-Black, Anti-Latino...along with being Anti-Environment, Anti-Immigration, Anti-Education, and Anti...

How well off is Mitch McConnell's Kentucky?

By RF Schatten Is this what Mitch McCoonnell has done for Kentucky? Nothing!...pretty much the same he's done for this country. Below: The example of why Mitch McConnell is still a US Senator. The mind of the incredibly stupid Kentucky GOP minions! They do deserve to be treated like shit!!

Crooked Foreign Elections? never in the US!...well, only if the $$$ is good!

By RF Schatten Why would outside secret groups spend tens of millions of dollars in Attack Ads, and Negative Automated Telephone calls...aimed at the Poor, the Women, the Gays, the Blacks, the Latinos, and the youth?? Are they scared? No!! It's their way of pointing all the ills in this country to them...like the fascists would point all the ills in Germany to the Jews, the Gypsies, and anyone else who's not  pure 'Arian.' Here, in the good ole' South...it's called "Lilly White." These 'secret' SuperPACs didn't even exists before Labor Day!...and never reported any contributions with the Federal Elections Commissions!!...then started spending 7-figure Advertising? All very secretive, why? This country is up for sale by the GOP...the Republican Party has sold themselves out to an Extreme Right Wing ideology...and their benefactors? the John Birch Society!! aka Koch Industries...$$$ talks!! How to win an election without a political pl...

Truth vs. Lies...a reflection of 1933? What are the real underlying issues in 2014?

By RF Schatten "If only Obama didn't run for President, we could've just continued to pretend that Racism was over" ~~~ Ezra Klein Every day, we're seeing about a dozen Election Polls showing one result and another dozen Polls showing the opposite...a few days later those same polls, reverse each others! Everybody says the Republicans are going to win...but, at the same time, everyone says it's so close...anything can happen! Now, the NBC/Wall Street Journal National Poll...how bipartisan can it be? Conservative WSJ and Liberal NBC...says the Democrats and the GOP are "Deadlocked" with 48 hours to go!! No matter who you're rooting for...it's turned into a pretty competitive year for the Upper Chamber!! Why has it become that close with 48 hours left? Everyone's entitled to their opinion...mine? The majority in this country is insulted and offended with the mindset of the Far Right...not necessarily all Republicans...but their Tea...

America's Political Dysfunction...where do we go from here?

By RF Schatten When insane, batshit stupidity, and openly public deceptions & lies, trumps reason and intelligent discourse...who really wins? The American public? America!...what a country! The most politically dysfunctional modern society on the face of this earth. And Americans can't understand why the world just continues to laugh at us! We have become the greatest 'Reality Show' seen around the world, and when FoxNews talks...people listen...and laugh their heads off!! How dysfunctional? 29% of Louisiana Republicans blame Obama for the shitty FEMA response, during Katrina!!...remember, this shit happened in 2005!...3 years before Barack Obama even got elected! Keep your electorate as ignorant as possible!! How stupid is stupid?? 44% of all Cajun Republicans don't know who to blame!! Ignorance 'is' the object and goal of every propaganda machine. How dysfunctional? You have 4 idiots who claim not to believe in Science, but use every single bit o...
