U.S. Fucked Up, Is There Really Any Doubt?

The U.S. committed a war crime when it "preemptively" attacked Iraq.  There is no doubt that American sheep were fed propaganda and lied to in a planned and systematic way.  Remember the talk of "mushroom clouds?"  How it was just a matter of time before Saddam Hussein would attack the U.S. with "weapons of mass destruction?"  How the whole world was at risk?  It was all lie!  There was no accountability and we know it at  some level even though the perpetrators seem to have gotten away with it.  History will catch up to the criminals Bush and Cheney, but in the mean time they, or their mouthpieces, should not be allowed to revise this history and the incontrovertible evidence that the Iraq war was based on falsehoods.  History will prove it.  I just hope not too late!

Republican Congress is Just Stupid

Let's face it:  these Republicans—Cantor and Boehner—are just idiots.  When the U.S. is experiencing the most serious economic situation in generations, what are they doing?  Concealed carry legislation!  Can you believe it?  With 9.1% unemployment these idiot Republicans are talking about making it easier for gun nuts to carry their guns from state to state.  Obama just needs to run against this congress and he'll be in for another 4 years. 

Another Criminal Republican

Rep. Phil Gingrey Mugshot

Reuters brings us another example of a corrupt hypocritical Republican.  His name is Rep. Phil Gingrey from Georgia and he has a good scam going—borrow money, never repay it and then try to legislate without disclosing that the legislation would benefit yourself!  Read it yourself here.

If This Happened in China, The U.S. Would be Screaming!

I'm amazed at the U.S. government:  Of course, this is another failed, or successful if you are a right-wing nut, policy brought to us by tough-on-immigration Republican Nazis.  If it was any other country the U.S. would be screaming "human right's abuse" and be looking to score political points depending on what country committed the same atrocities that the U.S. government is doing everyday.  The number of deportations and the shocking treatment of these families and kids is deplorable and would be condemned if they weren't done by the U.S. itself!  Here's a chart of the number of deportations:

   

In these rising numbers is an increasing number of families that are being ripped apart needlessly.  You'd think that when someone was being deported it would be required to send their kids with them, but instead the government chooses to place the kids in foster care.  Read it for yourself here and here.  Also check this Frontline documentary here for more info

Another Retort to Republican Lies

The rewriting of history by Republicans continues unchecked.  They want us to believe that government caused the 2008 financial crisis and not bankers or other financial players.  It's a ruse to continue with their harmful deregulation that ended in with the worst financial crisis we have seen since the Great Depression!  We can't really blame these lying Republicans like Boehner or Cantor as they are just mouth pieces for their financial backers—the financial industry that profits from deregulation but makes the public pay when their bets move against them.

When Republicans Blame Government

I'm so tired of Republicans blaming government for everything without any facts while the press just accepts it without question.  We keep hearing, more and more, that government is the root of all problems. Of course it's nonsense but it's often difficult to stand up for government, but there's some great ideas here.
