"Too many Regulations if Net Neutrality passes"...from those interested in Regulating it!

By RF Schatten "The Internet is the ultimate vehicle for free expression. The Internet is simply too important to allow Broadband Providers to be the ones making the Rules." ~~ FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler Net Neutrality!...when all the Voices are synergized into one common cause...it cannot be stopped!! The FCC's Final Ruling is a victory for  everyone who believes in Free Speech and Freedom from Corporations telling you, what you can watch, what you can hear, and what you can read!...and all for a price! The Republican Tactical Philosophy; Suppress the Right of Speech and Freedom of Information...while allowing their Big Money benefactors to exploit the Internet for their own agendas. Well! it didn't work!...but does anyone really believe that this whole issue is over? Not if you're a Republican!!...those batshit war drums are rolling!...the GOP House is ready to pass Legislation that would partially reverse the Rules. Yes, folks! that's the Republican wa...

"Cancer is a Fungus"?...Ignorance is the true Fungus

By RF Schatten It's inconceivable the outright ignorance in this country when it comes to Medicine!! Are we really becoming a country of stupids? Total idiots, talking stupidity about things they have absolutely no understanding of. Now, you got the Anti-Vaxxers...the new word in the sound-byte world...parents who refuse to have their kids vaccinated in the community. Schools? other kids go to school, too? Don't give a damn who my kids spread any bacterial viruses to, that's not my problem..."It's My Constitutional Right", "the Government cannot force my kids to be vaccinated!". The audacity of it all, it's that they're putting their Constitutional Rights ahead of the Health and Welfare of their own Children! And the hypocrisy! that 99.99% of them...if born or grown up in the United States...are alive and well today, because 'they' got vaccinated as kids! They had good parents who believed in common sense...who knew they prob...

Lies and Deceits: America's continuous affair with Bibi Netanyahu

By RF Schatten "I have proof! that the 'other' side has Weapons of Mass Destruction"...no! no! no! it's not George W Bush...'that', was our non-Islamic Allies in the Middle East. Now, there's evidence that those 'weapons' appeared to be a hoax. And no! Dick Cheney didn't rat him out...he only does that to undercover nuclear CIA Spies! It's not good when you're outed, and an embarrassment when US Secrets are revealed...even worse, when your own "Mossad" contradicted you; Uranium production, wasn't even close to those levels he showed during his little UN 'artistic' performance! How those with power can try to manipulate world opinion for their own agenda...regardless who dies on either side...regardless the opinion of their own country or anyone else! Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu has one goal in his political life...the full open invasion of Iran. They say that history repeats itse...

Criticizing a Lie while Justifying Another...the Hypocrisy of Roger and Fox News

By RF Schatten If you lie on NBC...you're suspended for 6 months. If you lie on FOX...you get the "Full Support" of your boss! And probably a raise!...Roger Aisles believes there's no shame in lying! He's admitted that FoxNews is a political arm of the GOP!...Roger dodger 'is' the Chief of Propaganda for the Republican Party!...so, why would anyone expect anything different? #1 Propaganda Technique? NAME CALLING or STEREOTYPING:  "Giving a person or an idea a bad label by using an easy to remember pejorative name.  This is used to make us reject and condemn a person or idea without examining what the label really means".  Sounds familiar? #6 Propaganda Technique? PLAIN FOLKS:  This is a way that a speaker convinces an audience that an idea is good because they are the same ideas of the vast majority of people like yourself.  Examples: "This is the will of the People", "Most Americans...". etc, etc, etc! Sounds familiar? ...

Please Inform Republicans: Love of America is not a Pissing Contest!

By RF Schatten Republicans Love America: Their love overflows with all their acts of kindness and all their charity towards those less fortunate. No one cares for their fellow man more than a Republican!...and no one in the History of the United States cares more about this Nation...than a Republican does today! How they care so much about the Physical Health of our population!...they know, for a healthy and secure future...you need a Healthy population. How they care so much for our country to remain powerful other than brawns and clout...Education is what will keep us as a nation, on a forward march towards the future. How they care for our Earth, for the land that we live in...and how they understand so clearly, that if something ever happens...there's not a way of taking the 7.125 Billion inhabitants from this planet (as of this writing)...and shoving up them into space!!  They're smart, they care that everyone is created equally!...'as' the constitution says. Th...

Dumbing Down America: A Republican Strategy?...or Nightmare?

By RF Schatten A little common sense about Common Core can go a long way in resolving our common problems...civil discourse goes a long way...but you're not dealing with civility, you're dealing with the eternal darkness of the imbecile mind. They say, "Knowledge is Power" In today's America...there are those with the knowledge 'and' the power...who feel they're entitled to it all! It's their destiny, their heritage, their lifelong mission...carried on from father to sons. In the words of their idol, Ayn Rand: "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of Altruism that men have to reject" and "The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity". Translation? Fuck they neighbor!...if not nailed down, steal it! think of yourself first and screw the rest of the world! Sounds a little Republican to me, Mr.Ryan! Why the hell would someone want their child, less educated in this world?. Co...

US History: As told by The 10 Commandments, Ronald Reagan, and George W

BY RF Schatten In an Apathetic society...Ignorance always trumps Intelligence, my friends! Oklahoma has joined the State of Texas to keep our future generations stupid, ignorant, and close-minded! Teach them only what 'You' want them to know, what 'You' want them to hear, or what 'You' want them to see...keep them ignorant of the rest of the world...indoctrinate!! And they talk about how bad it is in North Korea? They're kept as ignorant and as much in the dark, as Texas and Oklahoma!! They're not allowed to think!...'Critical Thinking' is against the Laws in Texas!! Indoctrinate, till they only respond to a quick...Heil! Heil! Heil! Is Oklahoma, OK?...aa ayup! they're OK!...just as stupid as Texas is! Rep. Dan Fisher is 'the man'!! The Fisher Bill...which was approved by the Education Committee, overwhelmingly on an 11-4 vote...bans Advanced Placement U.S. History and changes all history books, to reflect 'their' persona...

Conspiracy, Treason, and the ease of "Diplomatic Immunity"

By RF Schatten Why would the GOP use a political Issue,such as Immigration, to hold hostage Homeland Security?...for people who keep talking and bitching about securing our borders...they sure don't give a rat's ass about securing our country from foreign government spy networks, terrorist cells, or foreign leaders who reveal US negotiation secrets to the press, to hurt the country's effort in negotiations. "Diplomatic Immunity"?...nice to be a leader of a country! When an American Political Party takes allegiance to a Foreign Leader and its government, over their own...that's "Treason"!!!  Defying and humiliating the President of the United States by violating the Logan Act....to undermine US/Iran nuclear negotiations. A conspiracy between the Speaker of the US House of the Representative and the Prime Minister of Israel...sordidly negotiating a secret plan without the knowledge of the President of the United States, in order to hurt US/Irania...

Bibi Netanyahu: With Friends and Allies like this...who needs Enemies?

By RF Schatten The White House widely believes Benjamin Netanyahu may have leaked US Secrets, in order to undermine US-Iran Negotiations. Washington Post's David Ignatius wrote from Tel Aviv; "US officials believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has authorized his government to release 'Secret Details' of US/Iran Nuclear Negotiations to the Israeli press". That story has been corroborated by Barak Ravid at Haaretz: As told by Israeli Senior Officials to Haaretz..."As a result of the recent tension between the United States and Israel, the White House has begun to limit the scope, quality and depth of the information it shares with Jerusalem about the progress of the talks with Iran about its nuclear program" In his report, Ravid added; "While U.S. President Barack Obama wants to make every effort to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, Netanyahu is doing everything he can to block one". Bibi Netanyahu undermining another...

Mississippi: A contradiction in Cognitive Development

By RF Schatten Hatred, Bigotry, Racism...and why Ignorance and poor Cognitive Development has kept Ole Miss at the bottom of the cracker barrel on virtually all economic and social indicators. And that's totally shameless...the Magnolia State is such a beautiful place! Mississippi and the #50...it's normal to see those 2 together when talking economics, and other subjects. Unemployment: Highest in the Nation. GDP per capita: Lowest of all 50 states...and Last in personal consumption. Wages: Lowest in the country. Education in Mississippi: The State has the notable distinction of ranking 51st out of the 50 States...with the District of Columbia, ranking higher. Education Week’s Quality Counts gave both DC and Ole Miss, a grade of "F"...the only 2 Fs in the country! Mississippi is also among the lowest 10 states in providing young people a chance, financing for schools (46th), and improving the quality of teaching. Mississippi and the #50 again!! Obamacare? the...

Being a Powerless Majority?...payback is a bitch!

By RF Schatten After 6 years of Obstruction and Stonewalling, the GOP has hit the proverbial Stone Wall. 6 years of planning!...all for "where do we go from here"? Good job!! How a group of clowns who haven't accomplished jack shit since January, 2009... continue their losing ways...as they transition themselves from Minority losers to Majority losers. They'll continue to gerrymander for their majority seats...but will never win a national election and will never be on the north end of Public Opinion. Not, until Republican moderates come out of those toilet stalls they've been hiding in, return from exile, take the taste of Tea out of their mouths...boot all these batshit crazy Right Wing extremists, out of the Republican Party!...and make up some viable policies, that the general public would willing to join you in! Let the Teas charter their own Political Party or join the Libertarian Party...make 'their' lives miserable for a while! If these cryb...

A Powerless Majority...and its desire to remove the Power of the Minority

By RF Schatten Republican hypocrisy at all its glory! After 6 years of obstruction with over 500 Filibusters...now, House Republicans are demanding the outlaw of all Democratic Filibusters?? It does suck at times, when you're not the minority anymore...so, suck it up!...and expect some more. The GOP can now feel the bullshit the Democrats had to put up with, the last 6 years. "There’s a way to change the rules to allow us to move forward and take away the ability to filibuster", says Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC)...but, the Buck still stops with that Veto Pen, asshole!!...and the Right Side of the Aisles, is not Veto-proof!! Do they want a Veto war?...they'll never win...how many pieces of Legislature since 2009, has the GOP passed so far? Pissing their opposition any more than they already have, is not going to make life any easier for the Grand Old White Cocktail Party and their Tea Loving protégés around the District of Columbia. Do they really want to use the ...

"Manly Firmness"! Republican machismo?...or fear of emasculation?

By RF Schatten "Manly Firmness"...if there were any other way, this man could've defined what he meant..."Manly Firmness" is just too 'hard' to swallow as an answer! We know what he meant, besides a sexist remark...but, he could've used a little more tact, a little more finesse and decorum. Oh, decorum? I forgot!...this is the home of Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin! “You want a soldier to fight like a man...If a woman is in the trenches, you want them to fight like a 'man', too". Where are your soldier credentials, macho man? Trying to explain to a woman that a man is superior, that in its very sense, is a very stupid and imbecile thing to do!...'Manly Firmness'?...you're looking for trouble with the no-nonsense Bobbit crowd, bubba!! "Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it's manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their o...

Marriage Equality: Coming to terms with Traditional Values

By RF Schatten Sometimes it doesn't take Legal Arguments, Past Cases, or Court Decisions for a dose of reality to slap you right in the kisser! The Right Wing's War on Marriage Equality is 'over'...Clarence Thomas is essentially putting up the White Flag...but don't tell Christian Conservative America! it shakes their traditional beliefs right down to their long bigoted roots! Get out of that cave, man!! the world, does keep evolving!...even, if you remain hiding from that darkness inside your mind! Marriage Equality is here stay!...it's on the right side of conventional wisdom! besides, we live in a multi-culturally Pluralistic Society...so, grow up and live with it!! "Free yourself from the rigid conduct of tradition and open yourself to the new forms of probability".~~~ Hans Bender We're in the 21st Century!...aside from basic Conservative values, why are they so frightened from moving away from the Status Quo?...Tradition? "Tradi...

Ted Cruz and the GOP: Born-again...fabricating a new Reality.

By RF Schatten In the spirit of Republican promos, on their born-again love for the poor...when your words and deeds have no merits to stand on...embrace the public and fabricate a reality. Reality? Raphael Cruz Jr. 'is' the official "legislative" mouthpiece for Republican right wing propaganda...spreading the bull is his forte...the Party's resident Charlatan and Demagogue. Spread the cow manure thick and heavy, arouse the emotions, the passions...and the prejudices of his loyal fanatic minions...which make up the lunatic Tea loving fringe of the GOP. Reality, 'is'...a man who looks at ya, straight into your eyes and tells you something that he knows perfectly well, he's full of shit...and he knows everyone will out him, but still does it! Controversy at the height of American ignorance helps to keep the truth hidden. He's your quintessential Political Troll... want to stir up controversy? call Ted...he's a thorn on everyone's ass, e...

Bibi and the Stooge: Who really mislead, who?

By RF Schatten Karma is a Bitch! When you lead a life where you abandon all your principles in exchange for power and influence...where misleading, lying, and deceiving, is an everyday routine...sooner or later all your actions are going to come back, and kick you right up your ass! Now, that it appears as an embarrassment to Israel...spin masters in Jerusalem are throwing the blame, back to John Boehner!! Poor Bibi was misled by Boner??...how could something like that happen?? The genius behind the private invitation of a Head of State, together preparing the perfect speech, while going behind the backs and without the knowledge of the State Dept, US Ambassadors, the Administration, and the President...has become the stooge scapegoat of his own scheme...and a very embarrassing and complicated international Diplomatic situation. Does anyone believe that Benjamin Netanyahu, by far, among the world's most extremely shrewd veteran political leaders...really believes that John B...

Republicans love Science...when it comes to $$$ and the Pipeline!

By RF Schatten "Climate Alarmists" are denying science by opposing the Keystone Pipeline? Alarmists are denying science what??? Mrs. Gump is right...there's no cure for Stupidity! Maybe Joe is auditioning for FoxNews?...as his ratings continue to sink south. For your personal information, Joe! Climate alarmists 'do' understand science! Why? because they 'are' Pro Science...they listen, they read, they gather all the information and come up with their own conclusion. That's is called "Critical Thinking"...and even if it's illegal to think in Texas...you cannot deny the fact that 97% of all Climate Scientists in the world, believe in alarming the population ...that's why alarming the the citizenry of the environmental dangers of this pipeline, is important!! But, for Joe?...it's really not about climates and environment...he's an educated man like him or hate him, he knows what he's saying and why he's saying it! ...

Net Neutrality vs Content Control: Internet1 Big Money 0...SCOTUS next?

By RF Schatten Let the Sunshine in!! A big win for every loving net citizen...a free Internet! From someone who's been involved on both the professional level and just another net citizen; from the days of the NSF, ARPANET, Bulletin Board Services, and NCSA Mosaic...and a proud supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's "Blue Ribbon" Campaign for Internet Free Speech, since day #1...it's been a very long time coming!! Thank you!   The proposal by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is for the FCC to use its authority under Title II of the Communications Act to protect Consumer Broadband Internet. It's a victory for every single citizen who believes corporations don't have the right to impose their will over the Internet...it's a vicious loss for corporations, greed, and big $$$...who believes they are citizens, too. Politically speaking: Huge victory for Barack Obama, who called for the FCC to use their authority under Title II. Big win for the Prog...

Medicine, Skeptics, and the Conservative passion for Medical Ignorance

By RF Schatten Now, a US Senator...that, when people say he's full of shit...he may really be full of shit!! Watch out if Thom Tillis approaches you and tries to shake your hand. Health and Hygiene? freedom of choice is the belief of this goofball!...and this coming from a man assigned to the Committee on Agriculture and 'Nutrition'. Because, it's so 'nutritious' to eat food prepared by someone who just previously went potty and didn't wash his or her hands!! How the stature of the GOP keeps elevating itself to a level of incompetence, a political "Peter Principle" mentality. You got this character fresh out of NC, the latest and greatest Tea loving clown to arrive in DC. And you got Chris' Big Boy running around appeasing the lower IQ sector of the Republican Party, stressing that parents should have "some measure of choice" whether to vaccinate their kids or not....naturally, Christie reversed himself when he realized how muc...
