"Socialist" DOES NOT FUCKING MEAN THE SAME THING AS "Communist".
"Socialism" IS NOT A FUCKING DIRTY WORD.
Whether its "fascists on the right are like socialists on the left" or any other such bullshit rationalization for passivity in the face of outright assault, people who want to kumbayah on the sidelines can step the fuck off the line and hope like hell that their civil discourse stops the Republicans from shoving their red hot poker further up their ass. As for me, I've had enough.
Republicans and their ass munching plants in the media (especially on the wasteland of talk radio and on Faux News and the rest of the in-the-bag hacks that were once journalists but are now nothing more than dumpster diving whores to their corporate masters and navel lint of train wrecks like Sheen and Lohan) can all go straight to hell.
This is NOT a debate any longer either....when the Republicans break the law to strip away the rights of the people of Wisconsin that is a fucking coup d'etat - its not a disagreement. Its not a "tough issue". Its not a "courageous vote". It's more wholesale thievery from the middle class to the upper class and at the behest of the purely evil greedy bastards pulling the strings.
This can not end well for them now.
They are refusing to give up a PORTION of their vast fortunes (in many, many cases not EARNED fortunes but grifted and stolen fortunes - garnered not through hard work or building a better product like they would have the masses believe; not as the by-product of some work ethic or business acumen that the rest of us mere mortal humans lack; not through anything more than rigging the system to stifle free enterprise, crush labor unions and collective bargaining and in favor of cronyism and monopolies and passing off of "externalities" onto the public, which is also another way of privatizing profits and socializing risk and costs) - no one is yet calling for public executions, but these sons of bitches like the Kochs and their ilk had best start studying history a lot closer.
They cannot be allowed to get away with this any longer.
The breaking point was crossed and its high time that the people abandon the leaders who have foresaken them (You listening Barry???? You had better START LISTENING or when this gets uglier than it already is, you can get right in line with the other once solidly installed "leaders" who are no longer in such world roles. Join the people and assist them or get to the sidelines of history where you damn well will belong!!!) and move forward to retake what is rightfully the MAJORITY'S - our system of governance - from the fucking human waste that is still trying to squeeze out that last drop of blood from the turnip.
Its time for our own days of rage in this country. Its time to put the fear of the mob into the hearts of this cold-blooded bastards pulling the strings. Its time to end the era of "starve the beast" and start the era of "carve the fat cats".
How?
Here's one idea for you...gas prices and profits are at all-time record highs (which is really something since those profits were already the highest in human civilization history). Step One - seize and nationalize every refinery and distribution center today. Step Two - reduce the cost of a gallon of gas to $3.00 nationwide and hold it there. Take those record profit levels, plow the money back into the treasury and pay off this so-called crippling debt with it. If we are going to be stuck with these gas prices I would rather see the profits used to benefit the nation than further enrich the already obscenely wealthy.
Need another idea? How about we cancel the entire Department of Homeland Defense? Install deadbolt locks on the cockpit of every plane and seal it off at the gates. Instant "security" on planes and no one gets felt-up any more - and the best part is we do not have to PAY anyone to feel us up in airports any more!
Still not enough? How about finally, you know, ending the undeclared, unreported on but still treasury draining wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Close the bases. Bring everyone home. Free Gitmo. Leave Germany, Japan, Korea and just about everywhere too. I know....I know....but we NEED that base infrastructure to "protect" ourselves!!! BULLSHIT!!! The only thing that is "protecting" now are the outsized profits of the fucking oil companies and powerful corporate entities anyway. There are no goddamn Iraqis laying seige to St. Louis. There aren't any gangs of Afghans setting up roadblocks or annexing parts of California. The Japanese aren't planning to re-bomb Pearl Harbor....neither are the Germans for that matter!
Still not satisfied, still need more? Return the tax code to the Eisenhower Administration's "anti-business, socialist, job-killing, commie" levels of 90% in the top brackets.
Here's what we "sacrifice":
1) bloated gas companies and price gouging to enrich the few at the cost of the many;
2) bloated, fascist infrastructure of "security"...which is really nothing more than population control with a worse name;
3) bloated military operations and hugely expensive infrastructure for last centuries wars (last I checked, the British Navy is not STILL trying to defend the lost empire....its time we recognized the folly of our present by looking at the history of the Greeks, the Romans, the Turks, the Ottomans, the Austria-Hungarians, the French, the English, the Russians, the Spanish, the Dutch and the Portuguese - EMPIRES CRUMBLE AND UNNECESSARY ONES COLLAPSE). We do not need to defend the world, they can take care of themselves while we get our own house in order;
4) a regressive and punative tax system for the working class at the expense of those who have already benefited disproportionately to their actual contributions to the world or have benefited the most from the highways and roads and bridges and infrastructure that those higher taxes paid for in the 1950-1980 period.
Here's what we keep:
1) worker's rights
2) a middle class in this country
3) a chance to actually regain the moral high ground among nations
4) a fairer and more equitable country, better equipped to address the serious issues of the day instead of eating itself alive to enrich the very very richest of the rich.
That's it....no more room for compromise or politics or negotiations - we don't negotiate with terrorists after all, and that is what I call people who are willing to trash the rule of law like the Republicans of Wisconsin and Ohio and Michigan and Indiana and everywhere else they are applying the Shock Doctrine to enrich their cronies further.
ENOUGH. I HAVE HAD IT!!!
