RDR: The Republican 'Pledge'

Step into my parlor said the Republicans to the Middle Class Image

While Economic Royalists, their Republican and DINO operatives in government fan racist and homophobic flames to keep the people divided against themselves, it’s becoming clearer to normal people (non-Republicans) that Republicans have been waging a class war against working people since Reaganomics inflicted it’s supply-side, trickle-down, disaster on a once-vibrant middle class.

With the corrosive influence of money unleashed thanks to the right wing activist Supreme Court decision Citizens United, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is now officially acting as a money-laundering outlet for secret, well-healed interests, both foreign and domestic, to influence the US elections in favor of Republicans so they can continue turning the middle class of America into compliant serfs.

Many of the collection of ghouls known as this year’s Teabagger candidates are so confident in the power of money to influence the Sheeple through incessant pro-corporate propaganda, they don’t even feel the need to hide their once unspoken desire to privatize Social Security, privatize the Veteran’s Administration, privatize Medicare along with the New Deal policies that regulated corporate greed and created the upwardly mobile middle class the Republicans view as an “uppity” hindrance to unbridled profit.

So I was surprised to stumble across this Wall Street Journal editorial from August outright denying the inconvenient truth that in their own private Republican Apocalypse, Americans are merely hosts from which corporations suck profit unfettered by “pesky” government and die quickly without the help of a social safety net.

The party of the lowest common denominator


It is clear that the GOp has two wings: the highs and the lows. The RNC graphic that follows even admits it" 


The highs are the "have mores" or the in-crowd that was Bush's base. They are the people who run the party and manipulate the lows. 

The lows are the lowest common denominator and even lower. They are white and religious. Rightardia has described many of them as High School Harries and Harriets. They are the true believers who generally lack and understanding of US history.

These impressionable people are easy for the GOP to manipulate. They are the Joe and Josephine the Plumbers.

These people confuse religion and morality. Pastor Jones is a good example. Extremists who were Islamic did,indeed, attack the Twin Towers. This was after years of US meddling  and its disastrous US foreign policy in the middle east.

In the past "Fortress America" has been invulnerable to payback because we are surrounded by two oceans and friendly neighbors to the north and south. 

While the US lost less than a half million men and women in World War 2, the Russians lost nearly 9 million men under arms and another 50 million civilian causalities. Perhaps if the US understood the real cost of war, we would be less belligerent in the international arena.

Many conservative Christians are still emotional about the Twin Towers, but have little sympathy for the Iraqis who were killed in the two Iraq Wars. Many Iraqi children are still suffering psychological damage from the war. 



Our own troops are returning home with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the overall cost of the last Iraq War will be more than $ 1 trillion because of veteran costs.

Are these Christian conservatives lamenting the loss of life in Iraq because the US provoked a war.? Hardly. 

Many non-believers have a better understanding of the causes and effects of war than the zealous conservative Christians who thought it was just another Great Crusade. 

it is clear that Pastor Jones didn't have a good grasp of what has been going on the Middle East since World War 2 or he wouldn't have made a fool of himself by threatening to turn Qurans. Rightardia suspects he got an education from some of the Islamic clerics.

Guest editorial: What Republican candidates really think


Hello, my name is John Smith, and I am your Republican candidate for Congress.

Like many ordinary Americans, I am concerned about the direction that this country has taken.

I think it's wrong that a black man raised by a single mother could have the temerity to become the President of the United States.

I also think it's wrong that a woman from California could have risen to become the Majority Leader of Congress. With your help we can solve these injustices, so that Nancy Pelosi is back inthe kitchen and Barack Obama is in jail.

Our government debt has gotten out of control. Like anyone else I know that this was a result of Reagan and Bush borrow-and-spend policies; but I'm going to blame it on the liberal Democrats because it is politically expedient and who cares about truth anyway.

I promise to rein in government spending. My first step toward that is vastly increasing spending for the military, by far the government's biggest and most inefficient bureaucracy that buys $600 toilets and throws away perfectly good tools after a week in use.

I am going to blame the out-of-control government spending on the Democrats even though I know that the federal budget was $1.8 trillion a year at the end of the Clinton Administration and $2.9 trillion a year at the end of that of Bush.

The government no longer reflects the values of American people. It has been taken over by leftist radicals who do such terrible things as recognize the reality of global warming and put resources into development of high-technology high-intelligence high-progress clean energy solutions.

This new technology  will allow people to have everything that they have now and more, while minimizing damage to the planet.

This sort of action is un-American. When I am elected, I promise to restore the monopoly of Texas Oil and force everyone's economic dependence on Texas Oil, so that Texas Oil rather than government runs everyone's lives in America.

I am just like you. I beat my wife with a belt every day and put her in a hospital if I find a dust speck on the floor when I come home from work.

BP hires thousands of workers to guard the oil spilled in the gulf

New BP logo

After repeorts of oil waves in the Gulf of Mexico that are up to 10 feet high, many enterprising fishermman started to harvest the crude oil to sell it to other oil companies. Other locals have used back yard stills to make fuel oil and diesel fuel.

BP advised the Obama administration that people in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida were stealing BP oil. When the Obama administration refused to intervene during  the oil pilfering. BP started hiring locals to guard the beaches to make sure  the BP oil was being removed from the gulf only by authorized persons.

Rick Scott, who is running for Florida governor, claimed that most of people who were stealing the oil were illegal immigrants and that Florida needed a law like the one in Arizona to protect private property.

The Republican party of Florida also condemned the looting of the oil as an assault against private property. BP said its guards would exercise their Second Amendment rights to protect its oil from thieves.

Right wing web sites aren't that impressive

Yesterday I was looking at some right wing web sites and noticed that they aren't rated that highly. I have used the Netcraft toolbar for a long time because it it was one of the first to provide anit-phish warnings while browsing. It also ranks web sites.
Here is the rating for Sean Hannity's web site.      Click on graphic.

50523http://www.hannity.comMay 1998Mediaspan Group, I
     
This surprised me because Rightardia has been in business for less than two months and is rated 44637 by Netcraft.

El Rushbo does a lot better than Hannity and the Limbaugh web site is slick:

1821http://www.rushlimbaugh.comJanuary 2000Akamai Technologies

This is a great rating, but the liberal blog, Americablog, beats it:

1720http://www.americablog.comSeptember 2004Google Inc.

Americablog broke the story about the RNC's new racist and sexist online game which was picked up by Politico.com and the Huffington Post.

Americablog: In the meantime, the RNC sure made it easy to amuse ourselves with its [racist/sexist] website:
The liberal website Americablog was one of the first to report on the GOP website and searched all kinds of naughty words, including bondage and escorts, which yielded suggested purchases including handcuffs, how-to-books and Astroglide.
These results suggest that Republicans may be less compter literate than Democrats.  The last election seems to have borne out this conclusion.
