The Insolence of Moral Virtue...Criminalizing the Homeless

 By RF Schatten For a so-called "Christian Nation"...as some very proudly call America...there's something sinfully wrong to that notion, when you live in a Country without pity! When laws are being made that criminalizes a Human Being for having the misfortune in life of being poor and homeless...where are those proud holier than thou Christians who spend their eternal life "talking to Jesus"? where are all their cries against social injustice?? The only social injustice for this crowd of Christian wannabees, is in their inability to make a society understand their need to "treat others as you want" rather than "treat others as you would like to be treated, yourself"!! If you can't beat them? Enter, Stage Right!...Christian Influence and big $$$, into this picture of our 'not so perfect' Democracy. And what's the Republicans' anger about Injustice in America?..."Religious Freedom". The freed...

The GOP Asylum: Living in the Land of Make-believe

 By RF Schatten Living in their very own little Land of Make-believe...now that John Boehner is exiting stage right, though some tend to believe, it's stage "left"...the Inmates have finally taken over the GOP Asylum!! Take down the US House logo from the podium, and put up a big giant cross! No one to hold hostage anymore!...as spineless and as kiss-ass John Boehner may be? with that cast of absurd batshit loonies roaming the aisles the last 8 or so years? He's still the sanest among this class of clowns in the U.S. House of Insanity!! The latest surprise announcement? Repealing Obamacare!!!!...for the 55th time, just in case the other 54 times didn't count...it's the fools' cry of one more time! one more time! And just to show their care, compassion, and humility towards their fellow man...slap on Planned Parenthood!! Their believe in 'parenthood' with all their Christian values, tends to be more towards their ignorant side...unplanned!!......

Pope Francis: Scolding Congress with Compassion & Humility

 By RF Schatten How Intelligence, Humility, and Compassion...and a little American History...called out, scolded, and destroyed the Republican veil of Political, Social, and Religious Self-righteousness. Even John Boehner needed a box of Kleenex!...again! In a truly historical moment of American History, and historical address to a Joint Meeting Of Congress, the "People's Pope" spoke in behalf of "We, the people"...We, the people of this planet!...because, who really 'is' representing us? In a world where 'Money Talks'...the one person on this Earth, that cannot be stopped from saying anything, anywhere...the former Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 'will' not be stopped. And his words, just says it all!! Land of Immigrants ~~ "We, the people of this continent, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners. I say this to you as the son of immigrants, knowing that so many of you are also descended from immigrants...

The Downside of Capitalism

 By RF Schatten The downside of Capitalism...when the excessive indulgence of greed at the expense of those less fortunate is heralded by a portion of our population as "their Right under the Constitution"...there's something very very immoral about all that!?!? John Maynard Keynes once said; "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone". Whether to his chagrin or to his expectation of human nature...yes! the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things...but not necessarily for the greatest of good for everyone! Enter a piece of human excrement by the name of Martin Shkreli, a former "Hedge Fund" manager turned Pharmaceutical Entrepreneur...a shining example of what so many people for so many years have concluded about the failure of Capitalism!...screw the living hell out of those less fortunate, even if it means their death! Money may be ...

The Bankruptcy of Conservative Intelligentsia

 By RF Schatten The Bankruptcy of Conservative Intelligentsia...telling a lie over and over is an intelligent propaganda technique for exploiting the masses...but when you get absorbed into your own lies, you begin to believe them. Believing in your own lies and acting like those who you're trying to brainwash, only downgrades you to their own level. As they say; "It is wiser to remain silent, and be thought as a fool...then to speak up and remove all doubts"! The Conservative Intelligentsia in America since the turn of the 20th Century...whether you've agreed or disagreed with them...has always been more proper and disciplined; sometimes very fiscally foolish, though generally they're fairly conservative about the almighty Dollar...but! pragmatic. They preferred the Status Quo, but their pragmatism always allowed for a little leeway on social issues. Screwing the population can only go so far, till someone says enough is enough...a little liberal leeway is...

Don't tell your Plans till after Elected! Fiorina's Winning Strategy??

 By RF Schatten Like the "secret plans" of 'fixing the economy', by the comedy team of Romney & Ryan during the 2012; "We'll tell you what our plans are...after we get elected"!! Carly Fiorina's total lack of understanding of a human being's mind...whether it's her Class Arrogance, or her infamous use of business-now-politics stupidity!...I'll tell you my views after you elect me, is an insult to people's intelligence, and even a bigger insult to the ignorance of their minions! Politicians can bullshit their hearts out!...there's enough stupids out there to honestly believe their horseshit...exploiting ignorance is a foundation of Politics, whether in a Parliamentary or Presidential Democracy! Exploit the masses towards your Political Party. But, as much BS as people are willing to absorb from politicos...when you say; "Elect Me President, and after I get elected I'll tell you my views on Social Security and what...

Religious Freedom or Sharia Law...Same Message, Different Messenger

 By RF Schatten The Hypocrisy of the Religiously Intolerant...welcome to the Kim Davis Show!! A nobody whose batshit sick views of Life became an exploitable commodity by Republicans, as their next "Grassroots of America" hero!...Kim Davis has been elevated to the GOP stature of Joe the Plummer...Version 2016! Like if Joe the Plummer was such a success story?? Where in the hell do they find these sub-humanoids they keep schlepping from obscurity, and putting them on the political stage?...and then call them representatives of what America wants, and what they stand for? The grandeur of Political horseshit...putting up in a pedestal, a law breaker and a phony Christian!...and even the obscenity comparing her to Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks. An obscene gesture from the Religiously and Politically obscene! Ms Davis?...she's definitely not a "Miss", and as for "Mrs"?...you'll have to ask any of her 3 ex-husbands, what can o...

Immigration? White America's reluctance to lose its power!

By RF Schatten "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American Vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from Racial Polarization. I am here today as the Republican Chairman to tell you...we were wrong"! ~~~ Ken Mehlman" Being truthful is a major Republican Cardinal Sin...being truthful, coming out of the closet, and favoring same-sex marriage?...rest in political peace, Ken! Honesty, pretty much became Ken Mehlman's demise! His replacement? Enter Mel Martinez, a man who once said about fellow Republican and Conservative, former U.S. Rep. Bill McCollum; "The New Darling of Homosexual Extremists"...a career "Token" Republican politician...a Cuban-born American who served the Party as its first Hispanic RNC Chairman, primarily to attract the Latino vote besides his alliance with the Religious Right. He was the perfect chairman to appease the the GOP's holy rolling society. When it came to Immigration?...he play...

The GOP Dumbo: Religious Freedom? or an Old White Elephant?

 By RF Schatten "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself"?...just look at the GOP Poster Boy!!...send thy Neighbor back where he came from! cause nobody! absolutely nobody! loves "Thyself" more than Le Grande Orange! When a clueless Republican Party continues to live and play in a world of political conundrum...people get it, after a while!...a bullshit, is a bullshit, is a bullshit!! Add that ever-present Religious card in a rapidly Progressive and much more Liberal Society, and in today's Culture? It's a recipe for disaster!! Imposing a past lifestyle to people who are surgically glued to their Smart Phone?...and telling them how 'Good', old fashioned values are?...instead of how "Old" those ideas are! Living a life of lies, not one political policy with any substance, whatsoever...and all their hate filled trash talk! And now, a major push on Religion as a Major Plank?!?! People in general, are tired and fed up of 16 boring clowns, spewing t...

Politics of Intolerance: Its Failure in a Pluralistic Society

 By RF Schatten Intolerance is the by-product of Ignorance. A pluralistic society, by its very nature, is more an open minded brotherhood that's tolerant of their fellow man...where Social and Political intolerance is looked down upon as disrespectful acts of behavior...and a more tolerant society that rejects extremism. For the socially retarded, it's all about their inability to associate with the rest of society, and remain a conversation piece on the "Status Quo" and "Neanderthal Caves". "Intolerance is the most socially acceptable form of Egotism, for it permits us to assume Superiority without personal boasting" ~~~ Sydney J. Harris Why is it that the overwhelming majority in every nation in the world view the United States of America's influence as Negative? while only one country views the United States as a Positive Influence in the world with a 57% Positive rating?...the United States!!  Is it the return of the Ugly American b...

Jeb's Bad Karma: From "Brightest Bush" to a Milquetoast!

 By RF Schatten Jeb's Bad Karma: From "Brightest Bush" to a Milquetoast! When a Republican aficionado in Iowa approached and asked Jeb Bush what he thought of Trump, he questioned Jeb and said; "Donald Trump just called you a Milquetoast, how do you respond to that?". Jeb's response? "Yeah, well, I go campaign...I'm going to do it hard, campaign all over, and I'll turn people towards us". Great dignified professional political answer!...but, the wrong answer for this Election Cycle!! This year? It's all about Dirt!...good old drag out, dirty and filthy campaigns are the name of the game for Republicans these days!...playing the 'High Road Card' makes you the loneliest man on the road to nowhere, in circa 2015's Grand Old Party. Though, they normally ride that "Low Road Card", anyway!...this year, probably because of a Low-Life that's unbelievably! even a lower piece of life than them!...they will scratc...

The Iran Deal: A No Brainer...except for those with no brains!

By RF Schatten What is it that with the exception of One Country, every Nation in the World believes that the Nuclear Deal agreed upon by the United States, Great Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany, is a good deal? What is it that Bibi Netunyahu, Tom Cotton, and that same group of about 300 Clowns in Congress...who are also trying to subvert climate change laws to screw the rest of the world...really know? What does these fools know, that the rest of this planet's 9 Billion other inhabitants don't? The European Union has given its full blessing of approval to the Iran Nuclear Deal. And with a UN Security Council's formal endorsement...it's a message, a lead, a hint of sorts to a mindless American Congress that it 'is' a good deal! and if it goes down in flames? not only will the United States go at it alone...all alone without any of their Allies in this world, in this obsessive war against Iran!...Europe and Asia will suffer economically and socia...
