The Peruser

By RF Schatten Why does the Hispanic community throughout the world have such a privately held disdain towards American governments? I'm 67yrs old...and it goes back to my parents and to some degree...to my grandparents! Latinos don't hate, despise, or dislike Americans...never have...in fact, they've always found many common grounds with American Society. The problem is not the people..it's the constant problem of a Foreign Power's continuous meddling in another sovereign state's affairs...whether directly through the government or indirectly through private industry. Why are Americans looked down upon in Central and South America? Why did Nixon get spit at in Venezuela in the 50s? why did "Yankee Go Home" become a symbol of resistance throughout Latin America? Let's start way back in 1823, when the "Monroe Doctrine" stated; "Further efforts by European Nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America...

By RF Schatten A parade of fools opened the 2016 Republican Clown Olympics season...not a whole lot of difference from 2012...with pretty much the same cast of usual suspects. It's the GOP's little way of insulting the minds of the general public quadrennially...while glorifying their mediocrity and embracing ignorance. From the Koch 'Casting Couch' to FoxNews Correspondent Auditions... 2 former Fox fellows are also inside this clown car...all, vying for the title of "Best Politician Money Can Buy". It's fascinating how these people spew "Family Values" while being so politically immoral...and then justifying it all by throwing the Bible at you! Who's going to survive among this political version of American Idol Rejects? There are no ideas and no policies coming out of any of these people's mouths...you can figure out "Who's on First" quicker than any of their official policies! It really doesn't matter who wins,...

By RF Schatten Does the Far Right really believe in Rush Limbaugh?...or is he just their excuse to claim ignorance? Limbaugh makes a living off exploiting people's ignorance...and does it very well!...he's a "Professional Demagogue", his job 'is' precisely to obscure facts and manipulate his audiences towards his whims! It's unbelievable this man can be perceived as stupid or ignorant...because, he's not!  This tub of lard is a pretty smart guy, drop-out or not...he wouldn't be living the life of Riley today, if he didn't know what he's doing. All his intentions are to instigate hate and instill fear in the Conservative mind! Ignorance is bipartisan...it has no respect for ideologies or political affiliations. But in the conservative mindset of the Republican Party today, Ignorance is wholeheartedly embraced!  Blogger/Writer Amanda Marcotte wrote last year; "In the face of expertise and facts, being belligerently ignorant...and of...

By RF Schatten Openly Indecent Hypocrisy...the Hallmark of the Grand Old Party since 1980...the adoration of a man who circumvented the laws and negotiated secretly with another Government (technically an enemy) without the knowledge of his own country's administration. That, is called "Treason"!!...and the fact it was orchestrated during elections, and then afterwards for a special Hollywood affect; 'that' is being an indecent piece of shit! Also the adoration of a man who lead us to war on a ruse...to profit off other people's misery. And they adore both that man, and the man one heartbeat away. The fact both of those men have International Criminal Warrants for "War Crimes"?? Conservative Christians have a way of forgiving their own, by repenting and being born again!...Glory Hallelujah!! Enter the GOP welcome page, and read the Header: "The Party of Opportunity...fighting for a freer America where everyone has the opportunity to achieve...

By RF Schatten After a 35 minutes speech before a Conservative Republican crowd...and a throng of batshit Tea Party fans...Sarah just stood there with her big bright shiny smile, proudly waving and thinking to herself; "I hit it out of the ballpark!!" Everybody else; "WTF!!" "What the hell did she say??" Confusion with her text?...why even think about it, it's Sarah Palin! When Conservative columnist Toby Harnden, called Palin’s speech, “Bizarro”...you knew how terrible it must've gone for the rest of the press to listen!...suffering through 35 minutes of Palin mutilating her prose at the Steve King Iowa Freedom Summit...it's just impossible to decipher stupidity, give up folks! Now, the Hockey Mom appears to be seriously thinking of joining the 2016 Thousand Clowns Show...and putting her hat and red clown nose into the ring. It's a pipe dream for the Democrats...but it would make it a hilariously funny primary season...the queen of ...

By RF Schatten Pow!! It was the ultimate "Fuck You" political knockout punch!...what made it so exciting? and why the country, and especially the Democrats, feel a sense of resurgence?...it's about time, Barack!!  In fact, it's been about 6 years coming! 6 years of blatant systematic use of hatred, indecent mockery, disrespect, and obstructionism by the Republican Party...ever since the plans were concocted a couple of hours after the 2008 elections, they chose the Low Road of politics...Obama chose High Road. "I won both of them"...Barack Obama's knockout response beat Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, John Oliver, and Larry Wilmore to the punch!...and his "Star" quality is back on the rise! Now that he's 'done' campaigning, he's a much more relaxed man and there's no one in politics today...other than Bill Clinton...who's better attracting and communicating with the public, when just being himself. His interviews on talk...

By RF Schatten "When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro" ~~~ Hunter S Thompson In keeping with recent tradition, the Republican's latest response to the State of the Union Address was spinned, by yet another Tea Party or Tea leaning politico. Whether picked by committee or Reince Priebus, himself! the paramount trait of today's Grand Old Party...that looney batshit mindset...was again, in full force. When will they realize, they're an embarrassment to the common sense in their Republican constituency? An embarrassment as a political party in front of the world!...and we're supposed to be setting an example of a Democracy we're trying to peddle to others around the world?? From the cheaply amateurish performance by Bobby Jindal, to the sweaty and thirsty longest 3 minutes of Mr. Aquafina's career!...'this' is what the GOP pushes around the globe via the news media...and show the world why they won the hearts of America and took cont...

By RF Schatten How do you successfully define a Legacy, when your whole public and private life has been one long news media reality show?...and not necessarily, all that successful! Poor John McCain!...he finally got that Senate Chairmanship he craved for all these years...yet, his insecurity on how people perceive him now, in the September of his political career, has become a matter of desperation. You may not give a rat's ass when your young...because you're so invincible!...but as you grow older and wiser, you'll probably look back with some regrets and try find some ways of redeeming yourself. A National Campaign to define his legacy?...or is it, to "re-define" his legacy? The Maverick's Legacy? He graduated from Annapolis...like his father and grandfather...but unlike those 2 Admirals, he graduated 894th out of 899 Midshipmen in his class. He went on to Pensacola for flight training, where he was known as a "reckless and careless" hotsh...

By RF Schatten "One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity...there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork" ~~~ Edward Abbey Yes! historically, the party of disorganization, the party that Will Rogers proudly called his own!...broke tradition, and literally unified themselves against the party's standard bearer, their Leader...and sat out the Elections! What did they gain? Zilch! Zero! Nada! There's no crying in politics...don't cry, if you don't vote...Democrats got all they deserved! When a political party that almost outnumbers their opponent nationally 2-1, loses...don't look for factors explaining why they lost...they lost because they didn't put out the vote! It's the fault of the Voters for playing couch potato aficionados...and the fault of the Party for sitting around on their asses all year in Congress, and throughout the country...doing absolutely nothing, afraid to say anything or strongly take...

By RF Schatten Mike Huckabee believes Beyoncé's lyrical content is "obnoxious and toxic mental poison"...this naturally, from a Political and Religious opportunist, hypocrite, and former FoxNews analyst...who performs with Ted Nugent often enough in public, jamming and singing "Cat Scratch Fever" every opportunity possible whenever the press is around, and the camera's rolling. Is all this really about lyrical content? or who the fuck is kidding who? Patty Reagan's taste for music wasn't the only thing she differed from her old man. Jenna's and Barbara's MP3 collections are certainly not the same as Dubya's collection...just as Junior and Senior enjoy different genres. But now, a President and his wife must change their family values, because someone finds Beyoncé offensive to his taste?  I find Ted Nugent to be a racist and a degenerate asshole pig!...and any man who truly enjoys his company and listens to this piece of shit, is not...

By RF Schatten A nervous and sweaty cotton-mouth little kid, pretending to act like a big time politico...please, pass him the Aquafina! First impressions tell a lot about a man...Marco Antonio Rubio remains that 'little man', desperately looking for an issue that will put him back in the limelight...yet, always finding a way of destroying his own credibility! A royal political bullshit artist, who knows everything you'll ever want to know but were afraid to ask about Socialism, Communism, and every other type of isms...because, his family fled from the Castro hordes and the evils of Communism! How his poor family was forced to leave their homeland, by the "Communist" Castro Government in '1959'! A very inspiring speech...if you want to get a Cuban elected in the Cuban Community!...just don't tell Little Havana too much, before you're outed out. Sure! 1959 was Castro's 1st year in power! and sure! he did turn the country into a Communist...
