Contemptible, Remorseless Cunt

In the area in which I live, I am frequently reminded of the utter moral reprehensibility of Christian fundamentalists. They're almost like professional football players. Society holds them up as role models and beacons for morality, when they are both (mostly) despicable individuals. I'd even go as far as saying that theologians are worse than professional football players with respect to immorality. Even I was surprised at the Jerry Falwell-worthy comments one of my instructors (who is a pastor spewing his hate to church goers when not in a classroom) made about a rape victim.

Before I get to his vile comments about the unfortunate victim, I would like to provide some background information on this pitiful, hateful man.

This person had his upbringings in a not-so-religious home, and one day in college, he found Jesus (I still can't find that sneaky fucker - I've checked everywhere). The man became a pastor, and the rest is history.

One day, he was discussing human mortality, and his thoughts on whether or not people survive death. Nothing out of the ordinary for the snake oil merchant. Then, he told us about his father, who is long dead and gone. Apparently, his father saw no reason to believe in surviving death, frequently claiming in the nursing home, "When you die, you die, and that's it!" According to the pastor, there were some other adjectives in there, as well.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "I think he found out how wrong he was after he died."

Just think about that. It's one thing if you're happy about abortion doctors and homosexuals burning in hell, but this man is content at the idea of his own father spending eternity in hell!

Despicable, heartless twat.

Commenting on recent protests by so-called "pro lifers", the shameless asshole got into a diatribe about how we're "ending human lives" and all that other jazz. Well that's something I'd expect, so his little soap box speech against abortion just went in one ear and out the other with me. But this individual dug himself a deeper grave.

He informed us of a rape in the area that led to a pregnancy. The woman was a hardcore Christian, evidently. She decided to keep the tumor. The bastard stated, with a typical preacher tone, "She decided not to throw away that human life." Now, I'm actually glad that he took a stance of opposing abortion even in the case of rape, because I feel that opposing abortion but supporting exceptions for rape is a double standard. Why does that fetus, which you claim is precious, suddenly have less value if it resulted from a rape? Saying you support abortion for rape victims is a double standard. I was at least happy he had a consistent view on the issue.

But this is where this twisted man's message got toxic. Mocking women's choice rights, he said, "The only choice she was capable of making was not going to that party with a bunch of people she didn't know from Adam."

Do you see what he has done? He has put the blame of a rape on the victim! He's basically said, "Well, she went out, got raped, knocked up, and it's her own damn fault for going to that party with those strange people."

Contemptible, bitter, remorseless cunt. Pitiful, asinine, self-righteous prick.

If there is a god, this asshole is not his prophet. I cannot accept that a god as evil and maniacal as this man is behind all time, energy, and matter in the universe. I'm sorry, but Christian fundamentalism is the last place I'll derive my morality from. If anything, it shows me exactly how not to behave.

Attacks on Health Care Reform

These conservatives making a fuss at town hall meetings are only making asses of themselves and proving how stupid they are to the country and the world. Unfortunately, they are another black eye for liberal Americans, since they continue to demonstrate how ignorant some people in this country are, and they are promoting a broken health care system that other countries have known for some time to be a cruel violation of human rights.

Seriously, where will it end?

The most recent lie propagated by these insurance company drones is that there will be "death panels" to kill off senior citizens, and this has been a recurring theme of these feeble minded people at town hall meetings.

And the Republican propaganda machine is loving every minute of it, and exploiting these underinformed Americans. Some have hinted at having Democratic Congressmen assassinated!

Conservatives are demonstrating their desperation. They're running out of lies.

Birther conspiracy theories
Socialist takeover!
Rationed health care!
Death panels

Kieth Olbermann exposes forged town hall protests
Media Matters shows who is behind the lies
Glenn Beck again shows how much of an ass he is
Get Lou Dobbs fired!
More proof that town hall meetings are intentionally sabotaged

Whiny ass communist liberals

This is a list of things all of those whiny commie liberals are making us THINK they've done for America with their MIND TRICKS! See, these LIBERALS are trying to make it LOOK like they're helping America, which is untrue. Everyone (by everyone I mean the good, decent people at Focus on the Family) knows it's us good Christian conservatives that help America. Don't fall for these liberal tricks!

  • No funding for abstinence-only sex education - Barack Obama
  • 127 billion dollar budget surplus - Bill Clinton
  • Sex education that has prevented unplanned pregnancies and abortions - Planned Parenthood, ACLU, etc.
  • Clean drinking water - EPA
  • Safe food and drugs - FDA
  • End of McCarthy raids - ACLU
  • Protection of women's health - Roe v. Wade
  • Civil rights - Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, NAACP
  • Retirement - Social Security
  • Women's suffrage - loudmouth feminists who should make their husbands a sandwich
  • End of the Depression - FDR
  • 40 hour work week, child labor laws, overtime, benefits - AFL-CIO, other labor unions
  • Liberation of slaves - Abraham Lincoln, abolitionists, northern (blue) states
  • First woman to practice law - Iowa, 1860s (Iowa's turning into a shitty blue state)
These LIBERALS are just helping America to make themselves look good! It's a conspiracy! They must be stopped. Us good, hard working, Jesus-loving conservatives need to band together to make this country shitty to counter this LIBERAL conspiracy of making this country better!

VICTORY - Democrats now filibuster proof

Minn. court rules for Franken in Senate fight

The Democrats now have a filibuster proof majority!

However, it's not quite time to crack open the champagne. Hopefully, now that Democrats have an overwhelming majority, they will now have the courage to lead (instead of pussyfooting around like they've been doing). They need to get the ball rolling, or they might lose Congress next year, and this could be a hollow victory.

Regardless, this is some of the best news I've heard in a while.

Now, Democrats, the time has come to put these Republican bastards in their place. You are unstoppable. They cannot filibuster you. You have the majority. Bring change to America, and topple our corporate overlords. You can do it. Enough pussyfooting and worrying about "bipartisanship". Get to work!

Choose your poison: Television and the mainstream media

Jon and Kate Plus 8 and 18 Kids and Counting are two of the DUMBEST FUCKING TELEVISION SHOWS to ever plague cable. The mainstream media has betrayed the public, much like how Democrats have betrayed liberals. TV is full of misinformation about the issues and nothing more than cultural conditioning to worship the corporations (not to mention keep us from thinking critically). I have lost faith in television and feel dirty on the rare occasion I do watch it.

So, what sort of cultural conditioning is our general public being subjected to? What are some of the lies being told to the public on a daily basis over network news? One only needs to pick a channel. Choose your poison. Pick a venue to rot your mind.

ABC Family
Category: Cultural conditioning
Mind numbing index (0-10, 10 being fucking stupid): 6
Poison:
The most prominent poisoning that this network injects into the public is probably the mindless show The Secret Life of the American Teenager, a program about a teenage girl getting knocked up. With teen pregnancy experiencing an increase, that sort of mistake is not something that should be glorified on television, but lo and behold, it is. Increased breeding is something the corporations love to no end. It means more consumers. On top of that, teenage parents usually don't get a higher education, so that means less people learning the critical thinking skills they need to see how much the general population is getting raped by corporations. Teenage pregnancy opens a whole can of worms of sociological problems, and the bourgeois benefits from the decline of the poor. So, it should come as no surprise that corporate media is glorifying teenage pregnancy, making it look like something that is obviously challenging, but exciting. Of course, this is seen in films, too. Movies like Juno are into the pregnancy craze, meaning more cultural conditioning to make people think pregnancy is "cool". The teenage girl getting the abortion she needs and preventing many problems with her life would be a good ending, but it doesn't infect our minds with propaganda.

Fox News
Category: Misinformation
MNI: 10
Poison:
At least there's one network out there that makes its worship of corporations nakedly apparent. I could nitpick at several of the commentators on that network that tell half-truths or just bold-faced lies to the public, but let's look at Bill O'Reilly. This man's debate style, when he debates people that disagree with him, is to usually get his ass kicked in the debate, and then claim victory when it is over. Victory is not achieved by simply claiming it, but evidently this is something that hasn't occurred to old Bill. If all they did was support dipshit commentators, I wouldn't have too much of an issue with them, but they have also shown their bias in news that is supposed to be unbiased. Fair and balanced my ass. Before the war in Iraq, the show did a great job of brainwashing the public into approving of the war, using emotional appeal from 9/11 as well as graphics and dramatic music to drum up support for the war for oil. Sadly, other networks followed suit (FoxAttacks.com for more information). Fox also did a good job of prematurely declaring a Bush victory in the rigged 2000 election, when they said Florida was for Bush even though other networks were projecting a victory for Gore. The eight year nightmare caused by Bush may not have ever happened if Fox News wasn't around.

CNN
Category: Misinformation
MNI: 7
Poison:
The event that made CNN a member of this list was probably their bastardization of the excellent Michael Moore film SiCKO. Dr. Sanjay Gupta misrepresented the film in numerous ways, using outdated statistics to refute Moore's movie. He should have been fired from the network for this, even though he was not. CNN is just as worthy of the spanking I just gave Fox as it played up the drama for support of the oil war after Fox did, showing it lacks morality and integrity.

MSNBC
Category: Misinformation
MNI: 3.5
Poison:
MSNBC is not safe from this list. It is not near as bad as Faux Noise, and it does in fact show some accurate information. But like all other networks, it has abandoned good journalism. It is a far cry from Walter Cronkite, who traveled to Vietnam and did a report on how much the war effort was failing. Cronkite did what was right, and drummed up anti-war sentiment nationwide. Even though liars like LBJ and Nixon continued the war, they did it with very little popular support. The public was ignored, but at least aware. MSNBC, indeed all news networks, have gotten into the craze of doing reports on fingers in chili and Michael Jackson rather than exposing our government for how truly evil and corrupt it is. MSNBC has decided not to be different, demonstrating its lack of integrity. It also continues to glorify the Democrats, in spite of how much they have caved in to lobbyists and betrayed liberals.

TLC
Category: Cultural conditioning
MNI: 9
Poison:
This is a perfect example of an "educational" network that has abandoned education. The programs Jon and Kate Plus 8 and 18 Kids and Counting glorify mindless breeding to an extent that even surprises me. Now, a truly educational network would try to educate the public on how environmentally irresponsible this behavior is and how it is blatantly immoral to breed to get a television show. They could do a special on the racist cult the Quiverfull Movement that Jim Bob Duggar (the Duggar patriarch) is a part of. It could discuss how Mr. Duggar indoctrinates his children with his mindless, religious ideology through compulsory homeschooling he provides them. It blows my mind as to why Mr. Duggar doesn't let his children watch television. It contains the same shit he's brainwashing his children with. Of course, this channel doesn't stop at glorifying breeding. It contains several reality television shows with the sole purpose of turning viewers' brains into soup.

The History Channel
Category: Cultural conditioning
MNI: 7
Poison:
When this channel isn't glorifying religion, it is glorifying war. Many of the documentaries it has aired about war are highly dramatized and don't show any of the lies and evil behind war, or give a perspective of American history through the eyes of the general public. This channel could alone rescue the general public from the brainwashing it has been subjected to over the past century, maybe doing a special on the reasons behind the decline in public education. One show that really disillusioned me with this channel was a special it did about the apocalypse as described in the Bible, crying wolf about how the signs are everywhere that the end draws nigh. The details in the book of Revelation are so vague, though, that any moron could make any circumstance look like the "end is coming". The fact that the History channel played a role in this chicken little nonsense is sickening. People have been crying that the end was near since the Bible was written. How much longer will they cry wolf?

Cartoon Network
Category: Cultural conditioning
MNI: 9.5
Poison:
Children are not safe from mind rotting television culture, as this channel does an excellent job of demonstrating. The shows on this channel today are so mind numbing, I don't see how children get a laugh from them. It is no wonder the average IQ of our children is dropping. Channels like this, and Nickelodeon (another channel meant to brainwash children) are owned by companies like Viacom, whose greed is nakedly apparent. Viacom is one of the largest copyright bullies around, and has gone as far as stealing the work of others and then slapping their copyright on it.

Who owns the media? Companies. Companies, by design, are without morality. The one rule of capitalism is that profit is good. Concerns about the public's capacity for critical thinking as well as knowledge of issues are irrelevant, and in fact are harmful to the bourgeois elite. If the general public was capable of critical thinking, they could not maintain their grip on the working and lower classes. This is why our culture is up its ass in mindless television and pop culture. It keeps the average person naive and unaware, and therefore a perfect drone for the bourgeois. If the public were to awaken, and abandon the "drugs" that are forced on it by religion, sex, alcohol, and television, our corporate rulers would fall, and America would go back to being a democracy, NOT an oligarchy.

The Democrats Suck

I'm sorry to say it, but this group of Democrats has got to be the sorriest I've ever seen. These pussies are letting themselves get trampled all over in the name of "bipartisanship." The concerns of the people are irrelevant. It's all about the concerns of the Senate. They are letting progressive measures get watered down by the Republican minority, often to a severe degree (like removing the public option from Obama's plan for health care reform). Their chief concern isn't fixing this country, it's making sure the Republicans don't get too pissy.

If anyone desires real change, they are labeled a "radical leftist" or a "socialist" and are told to shut up. The Republican propaganda machine is doing a fantastic job of inhibiting progress, with the aid of their poster boys like Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. If change is making it's way through Congress, they only have to get behind their AM studio microphone or get up on Fox News and yell about "socialist takeover" or some other nonsense like that and it'll be watered down, in spite of popular support for real progressive measures.

And what are the Democrats doing? They are bending over and taking it! Even Democrats themselves are opposing real progress and change, just to appease this bat shit insane minority called the Republican party. The general public's pleas for change fall to deaf ears among the Senate Democrats.

Obama's health care "reform" will be successfully diluted, with no public option available (if it passes at all). The worst enemy of liberals is, ironically, the Democrats. The insurance companies will get to keep their stranglehold on health care, the rich will get richer and the poor poorer thanks to bankruptcies caused by medical bills.

Republican resentment for the poor is almost naked at this stage in the game, and thanks to a shitty educational system, no one is noticing it. What's even more frightening is how Democrats seem to be oblivious to the right wing dick being shoved up their assholes.

Bipartisanship is now at higher priority than fixing America.

The rest of the world continues to laugh at us. Laughing at how far behind we are on health care. Laughing at how we are letting ourselves get controlled by this insane minority. Europeans are well aware of what happens when a religious minority takes control (the Dark Ages), and they are watching it happen to us from their homes across the Atlantic.

I feel there probably won't be any real change in this country without some sort of revolution, or on the very slim chance the Democrats wake up and use that majority power and public support they've worked so hard to achieve.

It is likely that, because they've done virtually nothing to help this country, they will lose control of Congress next year. The election in 2012 could be like that of 1994, when there was record low voter turnout due to public disillusionment with politicians in general, especially castrated Democrats who didn't do a goddamn thing to help, as much as they originally wanted to. Obama could be voted out of the White House due to his inability to bring change. Unless these Democrats get their act together, Republicans could have the government back in 2012.

After that, hold onto your hats. Another eight years of Republican control awaits.

Oh boy.

Pat Robertson: Shameless asshole, douchebag, prick, etc.

I make no apology in calling Pat Robertson a shameless old dickhead. Robertson would be a field man in Satan's army, if Satan was real. Pat Robertson, and others like him, are people that bring nations down. Sinclair Lewis once said that when fascism arrives in America, it will be wrapped in a flag and holding a cross.

These dangerous individuals need to be called out on their obnoxious, anti-progressive behavior. They are a greater threat to our country than radical Islam. Indeed, Christian conservatives are the radical Muslims of the west.

I have many reasons for labeling Pat Robertson a shameless asshole, douchebag, prick, etc.

For one, he is insensitive. This old, bigoted buffoon remorselessly stated that Americans deserved what they got on 9/11, and even said that we should expect worse. Here is the video. Watch that video carefully. You can almost detect the anticipation in Falwell's (the fat dickhead) voice when he says that 9/11 could be small compared to "what's to come". These idiots want terrorist attacks in our country, and are glad 9/11 happened. Make no mistake. They want terrorist attacks on our country. They never explicitly state it, but you can tell by Falwell's comments on more "punishment" that awaits us, because it would serve this country full of filthy fags and abortion doctors right!

He is simply out of touch with reality, as are many so-called "pro-lifers". A family that is barely able to feed itself means nothing to this old windbag, but fetuses are absolutely sacred! I'd love to see this guy raise a family on minimum wage, and then discover his wife is pregnant with another one. I wouldn't be surprised if he intimidated the woman into getting the pregnancy terminated, for reasons I will explain later. Doctors that would perform this procedure, to him, deserve some of the blame for 9/11.

He is clearly homophobic. You can hear the animosity in his voice when he mentions gays in that video to which I've linked. He says "gays", but the tone of his voice says, "filthy, degenerate beasts".

He is a shameless asshole, douchebag, prick, and many other things!

Robertson is bigoted, without question. He is a homophobic bigot, but also a sexist bigot. Pro-life men want to control women. It's that simple. They're not "protecting sacred life" or anything like that. Don't buy that line of bullshit for even a second. This man's greed, combined with his clear sentiment against women, is why I believe he would intimidate his wife (with no regard for her feelings) into having an abortion if he was raising a family on minimum wage. Many sexist pro-lifers are like this. Many of them would simply not care about their wives' feelings on their pregnancy if they themselves were trying to support a family with little income. They would probably want her aborted as soon as possible!

If men could get pregnant, abortion probably would not even be a legal issue.

This shameless old asshole, douchebag, and prick has animosity toward gays, women, and nonbelievers as well. This video demonstrates very well how fundamentalism destroys relationships. Listen to this dick when he tells a caller that she should break the engagement with her fiance, because he doesn't worship the ancient bronze age god of the desert. Again, you can detect the contempt in his voice when he discusses this slimy, nonbelieving animal.

This kind of backwards thinking is very dangerous for a country. It slows scientific and social progress. Much like radical Islam, which has served as an inhibitor of progress in the Middle East, it can serve as a progress inhibitor in the States. Yes, this is a serious issue. It has inhibited progress in America, and in some ways, still does. Look at the various state abortion laws, which endanger women's health (e.g. laws requiring parental consent for out of state abortions). Look at the legislation against gays in several states (*coughs* Prop 8). I spend much of the year in an area that is ill with this kind of counterproductive thought. Spend some time in the American Jesusland and you will see firsthand how dangerous this line of thought is. Some states allow pharmacists to patronize teenage girls requesting birth control (because letting them get pregnant with a child they can't care for is so much better). Have you ever seen something so demonstrably stupid in America that it makes you facepalm and say, "How can this happen? It's the 21st century!"? That is the work of people like Pat Robertson!

We have to ensure, through any means possible, to call people like Pat Robertson out on their bullshit. This will ensure their toxic rhetoric doesn't poison American policy (at least not to a severe degree). If we sit and let these snakes slither into the political system without resistance, we can suffer the same fate as countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, with little regard for scientific achievement and no concern for social progress.

A spectre is haunting midwest conservatives

Weep and wail, you back asswards ignoramuses that are tarnishing the Midwest's image! Weep and wail! Your destruction is imminent!

Homophobic conservatives just received a political BITCH SLAP recently as Iowa, yes, Iowa recently legislated protection of gay marriage (I realize this is old news). Yes, IOWA! Easily one of my favorite states. It's cold, it's rural, and I love that. But it was a blue state in the last election and it has allowed tolerance within its borders! Tolerant and progressive Iowa! Yes! I have yet another reason to be proud of one of my favorite states. Hats off to you, Iowa courts!

There seems to be a wave of blue washing across this red heartland. Non violent political revolution is in the air. I can smell it. Oh, how sweet it is.

Don't believe that it's happening in the Midwest so far? Well here's some more information. As of 2008, Rock Port, Missouri was the first town in the nation to run entirely on wind energy. Wind farms are popping up all over Iowa and Kansas, too.

Again I say, weep you Midwest conservatives. Your tears are sweet. The sound of your crying is music.

Iowa's history of awesomeness

A Little Information on Communism

There is one thing that needs to be made clear in today's world about communism. There is a misconception in our modern American society that the Soviet Union under Stalin was a communist government. The truth is: IT WAS NOT. This nation was under the oppressive thumb of a totalitarian bureaucracy, NOT a communist government! In fact, Joseph Stalin had Marxists and other advocates of true communism in his country exterminated. Joseph Stalin was an oppressive dictator, not a communist leader.

Capitalists love this misconception, and it's one that keeps many in this country terrified of the word communism to this day. Communism's negative connotation is rooted at this mistake.

The world has never seen a real communism, and it won't until these oppressive control instruments keeping our species divided (e.g. patriotism, religion) collapse. It doesn't help that the United States government has been doing a fantastic job of assassinating and overthrowing democratically elected rulers in Latin America who were communists. This has caused turmoil and rough relations in Latin America to this day: drug lords, illegal immigration, etc... we are reaping what we have sewn!

Specter and Franken, Perry and Palin

Trickle-down economics work perfectly
(if you've been in a coma for the past 30 years)

Arlen Specter has made the wise decision of joining the Democrats. I had wondered why he had stayed with the Republicans for such a long time. He was one of the few pro-choice Republicans, and sided with the Democrats on many other issues. The GOP is a sinking ship, and Specter has wisely abandoned the pedophiles, warmongers, and all out fascists on that doomed vessel. He, like many former Republicans (and other conservatives), has hopped aboard the life boat of science, progress, and the abandonment of failed "Reaganomics".

This switch is very critical, as it puts the Democrats one seat away from having the entire legislative branch under their thumb. If Al Franken gets the Senate seat he's after, the Democrats will be completely immune to Republican filibusters.

I've also recently learned that Obama has a Supreme Court vacancy on his hands. This could potentially give progressives control of the Judicial Branch as well (which is crucial if some capitalist pig decides to litigate against a policy he doesn't like).

Progressive America is extremely close to having all three branches of government.

Oh their God... just imagine a progressive America. An America that is finally caught up with other civilized nations. Just sit and think about the diseases that can be cured, the environmental problems that can be solved (climate change), workers rights, the eventual destruction of the Bourgeois. We can finally become an atheist state like we were meant to be.

Final thoughts.

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, and Sarah Palin, the bitch governing Alaska, have hinted at secession in response to Obama's so-called "big government" administration. Big fucking deal, I say. Please, secede! Good riddance to them!

If the red states left the union, they would remove science and reason from their government agenda. They would become a third world country in a matter of decades. A real third world nation. (I see America as a civilized third world nation right now, since we have a third world economy and health care system).

Good riddance to Texas, Alaska, and whatever other Jesusland states that decide to leave. Good fucking riddance.
