We Built This????

In response to the president’s factual statements that indicated that no one does anything of great significance in this country without the help of others; they have decided to use the “We Built This” Theme as the main theme of their RNC, (Racists Needing Comfort) Convention in Tampa Florida. However in typical GOP Fashion, (Great On Prejudice), these hypocritical bastards do not want to acknowledge the fact that even if they do own a business, chances are, they got subsidies from the federal government, (Corporate Welfare), or that they are transporting their raw materials and or finished products using the public highways and other public resources which we as citizens finance through our taxes. I say all of that to say this: As a prime example of their hypocrisy and lies, according to their 2012 RNC Convention Theme, even the building that they are holding their convention in was not totally built by them. A large portion of the cost of construction for the Tampa Bay Forum was financed with Public, (government funding). $86 million or 62 percent of the total money needed to finance the construction of the stadium came from taxpayer money. However, these are the types of things they would rather you not know, because the less you know, the easier it is to deceive you into believing that they really hate the things that they claim to hate: Social Security, Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Pell Grants, Student Loans, etc. Here’s the truth! They hate all of these things for everyone else But they love all of these government benefits and more, when they are the ones receiving them. Oh the hypocrisy! If you are not registered to vote, please get registered ASAP. If you are registered, please get out and vote this November for Democracy by voting for Barack Obama. And also, please vote in your local elections and don’t just wait for the big ones, because the failure of so many of us to vote in the local elections in 2012 caused us to lose the house, and it is the main reason now why so many people who have been voting all of their lives are having that right taken away over voter ID’s that were never required before President Obama became the 44th. President of the United States of America. Thank you, G.R.C.

On Sunday, August 19, 2012, Missouri, REPUBLICAN, Senate candidate, Todd Akin threw science, logic and humanity out the window during an interview in which he stated that “Legitimate Rape”, rarely leads to pregnancy. He is one of many Republican “Right to Lifers” who believe that if a woman is raped by her father or another male family member, a criminal, a date or anyone else; abortion is not an option. Many of these people oppose abortion even if a woman’s life is endangered by a pregnancy that could possibly cause the woman to die. So I guess a woman who might die because of her pregnancy does not have a “Right to Life”. Hugh? What sane human being would voluntarily kill an unborn child for no reason? Not anyone that I know or associate with. But in this world of ours which can sometimes be a very cold, ugly and heartless place, sometimes drastic situations occur that sometimes require drastic measures. Abortion like murder is one of them. Now do you remember the false outrage that occurred last week as a result of Joe Biden’s “Chains” Comment? Well! Here we go again. All of a sudden, the very same people who have been fighting against a woman’s right to choose, birth control, a woman’s right to be a single parent, a woman’s right to earn the same amount of money as a man for the same work, and those who advocate for birth control by putting an aspirin between the knees, calling woman who want birth control to remain a part of their healthcare a “Slut” and those attempting forced rape by means of mandatory Vaginal Probes before a woman can be granted permission to have an abortion and so many other inhumane, selfish idiotic antiquated and prehistoric ideas that demonstrate a desire to control woman, as opposed to loving and protecting them are now pretending to be outraged by the comments made by Todd Akin. People like Mitt Romney who said of Rush Limbaugh’s comment referring to Sandra Fluke as a “Slut” that he would have used other words to describe her-Not that what Limbaugh said was wrong, but that he would have called her something else negative other than “Slut”. And his VP Running Mate Paul Ryan, (has passed so much Anti Woman Legislation as a senator), that it amazes me that any woman in her right mind, would agree to be his wife. In 2010 the Republicans fooled their constituents by promising that they were going to work on nothing but “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” Instead; in the Republican House, the first order of business was to open up a class session to read something that all of them were already supposed to be familiar with-The Constitution. After all they had to swear to protect it against all enemies foreign and domestic, in order to accept the job. So instead of “ jobs, jobs, jobs”, this exercise in futility set the tone and the pace for all of the foolish non productivity that has taken place for the past 3-1/2 years. This includes over 96 bills sponsored by Republicans that were designed to take away the many rights of woman that so many people have suffered, fought and died for; in addition to the rights of certain groups of people to even participate in our Democracy by denying them the right to even vote. And they are always in lock step with each other, (which is something that the Democrats need to learn from them). So everything that I just mentioned about the things that they have been doing for the past 3-1/2 years has been almost 100% supported by each and every individual who now, (because they see their political lives flashing before their eyes), are trying to act like they are not just as ridiculous, if not more so, than the dumb ass statements that Akin made about woman’s bodies knowing how to not get pregnant if they are “Raped Legitimately”. As a matter of fact, Paul Ryan has sponsored bills to define an embryo that does not even have a heart beat yet as a person; in his quest to force his religious beliefs on every woman in the entire country. He also has sponsored bills along with other Republicans that seek to redefine rape in order to decriminalize the act of rape by making only “Forcible Rape” a crime. Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far back as I can remember, I have always been taught that all rape is forced and should be something that I as a human being and a man, should never do to a woman. Don’t be fooled! These hypocrites are not attacking Akin because they have had a change of heart, seen the light, or recognized the error of their ways, They don’t do anything to help anyone else. Remember, they are all “Individualist” who only do what is necessary for them to survive and prosper. They are attacking Akin because their “Great White Hopes”, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are deeply connected to these same kinds of beliefs and practices, (as is the entire Republican Party). And the paper trails of their legislative practices can be easily traced and proven. They are attacking Akin because he was stupid enough, (as so many Republicans have been before him), to slip up and say the things that the others are actually thinking. And he said it without the usual “Hocus Pocus” that Republicans use to deceive and sway the Racist, Sexist, Classists idiots who follow them. Akin is a scapegoat. The only reason that we are currently witnessing another episode of false outrage from Republicans is simply because; they cannot win without the female vote. And now, just like John McCain insulted the intelligence of woman in 2008 by trying to pass Sarah Palin off as a Republican Version of Hillary Clinton; So too, are they now trying to pass themselves off as a political party that wants progress and forward movement for everyone, including woman. Don’t be fooled by this. Just look up the legislation that they have passed or attempted to pass over the last 3-1/2 years, and then vote accordingly this November. http://www.guttmacher.org/statecenter/updates/2011/statetrends12011.html Source: The Guttmacher Institute If you are not a “White Male” who is rich and or powerful, or a Black Male who has sold out and drank their poison Kool-Aid, then your best interests are not and will never be a major concern for them.

Joe Biden Tells The Truth On Tuesday, 08/14/2012

"Gonna Put Y' all Back In Chains" This past Tuesday, Vice President, Joe Biden was in Virginia speaking to an audience of mostly African Americans. His statements about the GOP putting people back in chains caused so much false outrage from a political party that has preached nothing but hatred, division, racism and lies since President Obama was (Legally Elected) in 2008, that if it was not so volatile and dangerous, it would actually be quite humorous. The GOP has, (with impunity), dehumanized poor people, sick people, immigrants, woman, gay soldiers and anybody else in America who does not fit their very restrictive definition of what "True Americans" are. Not only have they attacked certain groups of American Citizens; but they have also been on Constant Racist's Attacks against The Most Powerful Office In The World: The Presidency of the United States of America. Never before in the history of our country, have we witnessed such disrespect, hatred and disregard for the office of president. And it causes one to ask the question "Why?" What events corresponded with these drastic changes in the way that certain groups of ignorant, hateful and unread groups view the office of the president of the United States? I'm guessing that this blog will not reach the politically inactive, uninformed or apathetic, so I won't even answer that question, because if you are reading this, you already know the answer. One thing that I know about racism and the racists who practice it is the fact that; (in most cases), they are not very open about their true feelings about the people they hate. They always sugar coat the truth with euphemisms and lies to take attention away from what really goes on inside them. And when challenged by the truth, they become outraged, (either genuine or phony), like the latest outrage from The Romney Campaign. So here's the truth: keeping in mind that there are exceptions to every rule, even in a group of people who have historically hated people who are different then they are, you will find some people, (not very many), who do not want to be a part of such irrational, illogical and hateful behavior. The truth is the Republican Party as a whole, would like nothing more than seeing Black People, Woman, Sick People, Poor People, Immigrants, Gay People and all others who are not Rich, Powerful or Compliant with their Principals, Views or their Hateful Actions in chains, at the very least, and none existent on the face of the earth at the extreme. So I know what you’re saying at this point: Well! "There are quite a few Black Republicans also". Right? Let me explain, and then I'm out. The White Republicans all want to return to the times when they were Slave Masters-And the Black Republicans all want to return to the times when they were Slaves. So you see! They complement each other; and that it why they are together. But I thank GOD for the fact that there are not many Black People who want to go back to that-only a few idiots. This is why you will never see more than 1 or 2 standing behind these Racist's at a campaign rally. I don't want to be put back in chains. How about you? If you don't want to be put back in chains or you want to discourage the efforts of those who want you to be in chains, vote for Obama/Biden this November, so that we as a nation with all kinds of people can keep moving forward and not backwards. Thank you Joe Biden for speaking a truth in one context that can definitely apply in another. G.R.C.

I have never seen Mitt Romney so natural and comfortable with so many black faces behind him. On August 14, 2012, Mitt Romney spoke to a group of White Coal Miners in PA. LOL.

Supremacy Gone Too Far

It’s one thing to be proud of your country and its accomplishments. I’m very proud to be an American, (most of the time). But this American Exceptionalism that President Obama is accused of not putting on display on the national stage when traveling abroad is really counterproductive to good International Relations, which is an absolutely necessary characteristic for a Global Leader. The position of President of the United States of America definitely qualifies as a Global Leader Position. This “Holier Than Thou”, “Police of the World”, “Can Do No Wrong”, “GOD’s Chosen People”, only creates the same kind of hostile environment like the one created by the previous Administration. These verbal and other kinds of attacks on other citizens of the world, (for no other reason except for the fact that we are America, and can do whatever we want to whomever we want), is exactly the type of attitude that led to the fact that we had very few people, (except Great Britain), who wanted to work with us on anything during President Bush’s 2 terms. This attitude did not make us superior, it does not make us smart and it does not make us safe; and may have been the fuel that fed the hatred that led to the attacks on 911. And instead of trying to build on the repairs to America’s image around the world that begin with the successful, (and legal), election of President Obama In 2008; many of the hate filled supremacists in this country continue to move backwards on everything, except for the things that only benefit them. Case in point: Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has always, (since day one), falsely accused President Obama of not understanding and practicing “American Exceptionalism” nationally and internationally. However, since day one, President Obama has said, that his story could not be possible in any other country in the world except here in America. This fact is what makes Mitt Romney’s statements absolute lies. As a matter of fact, if you follow Mitt Romney from campaign stop to campaign stop, you will discover with due diligence that this man is a compulsive, psychopathic liar, who wants to be president for the wrong reasons at any and all costs. The President should be driven by love and respect of people in addition to being powerful and forceful when necessary. President Obama is fully aware of the greatness of this nation and its potential for producing successful individuals who work hard, sacrifice and play by the rules, which is what he did that led him to be the most powerful man in the world. What President Obama refuses to do, is to do what Mitt Romney did on his first stop of his “American Diplomat Tour”. He managed to insult several top British Officials, (Including the Queen), by implying that Great Britain; (the only country in the world that has hosted The Olympics 3 times throughout history), was not prepared to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. This caused national outrage, even from countries other than Great Britain. Because once again, a representative of this country has pissed off the rest of the world by implying that no one other than Americans are capable of doing anything of significant value. This “American Exceptionalism”, a phrase that is overused by the Rightwing, White, Hate Driven Media, is just a euphemism for Racism, Discrimination, Hatred and Ignorance of the fact that GOD Created All Men Equal across the entire planet-not just in 50 states. President Obama is a product of America’s greatness. However, he does not dehumanize, degrade, insult, or underestimate anyone-even those who have attacked him because of Racial Hatred that began even before the man was sworn in and given a chance to reverse the severe damage that it took 8 years to create. Now even though Mitt Romney’s first trip to establish him as a world leader was designed to make him appear to be “Presidential” to the uninformed-it is clear to me and others that he is clearly not “Presidential Material”. This is just not based on the near International Incident that he created in London this week, because everyone human makes mistakes and falls short of perfection, even President Obama who readily accepts and admits his humanness as well as respecting the humanness of others. Even though there are many circumstances in play in this country and around the world that no human being can control, (including the President), no matter what color skin he is in; President Obama has proven to those who are not looking at him through the eyes of hatred, that he is indeed Presidential and worthy of the dignity, respect and support that presidents have traditionally been given in this country, rather you agree with them or not. Anyone with a pulse can see that this has not been the case with “This President” over the past 3-1/2 years. Mitt Romney has run for president 6 times and has not been able to convince America that he is qualified to be President of the United States of America. Mitt Romney has not, because he is not. I hope that all who hear my voice will consider this fact come November 6, 2012. Vote Democratic for Democracy-Not Republican for Plutocracy.

What Do Republicans Really Want For America?

The Affordable Healthcare Act has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States of America. So the Argument of Consitutionality has been settled as far as Obamacare is concerned. Obamacare is not unconstitutional. I repeat: Obamacare is not unconstitutional. So the president did not commit treason, which is what the Right-Wing Racists want Americans to beleive about this president, because he looks different from all those who have come before him. So the fight for Civil Rights, Human Rights and Equality continues. We still have the vote coming up to hold Eric Holder in "Contempt of Congress". Please be aware of the fact that the NRA, (National Rifle Associatiion),the most powerful lobbyist group in America, has entered into this debate, and have already made far too many Democrats ready to fold and vote along with Republicans to hold the Attorney General in contempt. Please take names and kick asses of all those who betray the principals of the Democratic Party, and vote accordingly. The Republican's agenda is to defeat President Obama even if it means the destruction of this country and everyone, (except them and those who are like them), in it. The fight does not end here. Don't let your attention to detail waver. This is what the Republicans, (lead by Mitt Romney), are counting on. This is why they feel that they can win the election by not answering questions and just plain and simple lying. So please don't let them win. The fight to protect Freedom is a never ending battle. Stay awake, alert and politically and socially active. G.R.C.

Constitutionality Or Racism?

Today, June 28, 2012, The Supreme Court will rule on the Obama Administration's Affordable Healthcare Act. This law, which was passed in 2010 by the Obama Administration was designed to do what it's title implies: Allow all Americans to have access to healthcare that they can afford. Seems like a pretty worthwhile goal doesn't it? Since healthcare is a life and death situation, one would think that this law would not be under attack. After all, anyone can find themselves in a position where they are in desparate need of medical attention. I sure have. Is the law perfect? No! Does it need work? Yes! Is there anything that man creates that is perfect? No! So why do the Republicans refuse to "COMPROMISE", and modify this law so that it is advantageous to as many people as possible? Because as I have stated long before it became public knowledge; these New Radical, Racist Republicans have no intentions on doing anything to make this country a better place for all to live. They are only interested in one thing-And they don't mind destroying the entire country in order to accomplish it. They want to make sure that The "Whitehouse" remains "White",by destroying every accomplishment that President Obama has achieved over the past 3-1/2 years. This racist conspiracy was planned and implemented by the Republicans, and their Racist Democratic Sympathizers before President Obama had even put a pin to any legislation, or taken any actions to repair the extensive damage that was done by the republicans in the last administration. In addition to the Supreme Court's decision on The Affordable Healthcare Act today, the Senate is also set to do something that also, has never been done in the history of this country: they are going to vote to hold the Attorney General of a sitting president in "Contempt of Congress", for a program that was started during the Bush Administration and ended by the Obama Administration. These attacks that have been launched agains President Obama over the last 3-1/2 years, are not driven by love of country, common sense or the common good of the nation. 99% of all that the Republicans have done has been driven by Racism against this president, his staff, the people who look like him, and anyone who supports his efforts as he tries to rebuild this nation for the benefit of all Americans-not just the rich, the powerful or white men. This is not Democracy. To all who are interested in protecting Democracy, who know that they, or someone they love may need medical attention some time in their life, I just want to appeal to you to please, (even if you have never felt the need before), please pay attention to the life altering, historic decisions that are going to be made today, and pay attention to the people who make them, and then vote accordingly in November. If you are registered, please do not skip voting. If you are not registered, please get registered now and then vote in the November Election. We need new voters to replace those who have been removed from the voter rolls due to the new Voter Repression Acts initiated by the Republicans to prevent the people who voted for President Obama in 2008, from doing so in 2012. Please pay attention to what is going on around you and vote these bastards out before they steal our Freedom..... G.R.C.
