They No Longer Hate Us
By Ernest Stewart

"They hate what they see right here in this chamber: a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."
~~~ pResident George W. Bush ~~~

I want the truth! ~~~ Tom Cruise
You can't handle the truth! ~~~ Jack Nicholson
A Few Good Men

Oh, workers can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can.
Will you be a lousy scab,
Or will you be a man ?

Don't scab for the bosses,
Don't listen to their lies.
Us poor folks haven't got a chance,
Unless we organize.
Which Side Are You On? ~~~ Florence Reese

Well I'm going down
Down, down, down, down, down
I'm going down
Down, down, down, down, down
I've got my head out the window
And my big feet on the ground

She's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
She's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I've got my head out the window
And my big feet on the ground
Going Down ~~~ Jeff Beck

I'm curious America, how are you going to celebrate 911 this year? With a family picnic, full of watermelon, fried chicken, softball, Frisbee and three legged races?

Will you do a backyard barbeque and invite the Muslim family down the block for some hotdogs and apple pie? After all, they no longer hate us, right? We no longer have all those "Freedoms" that Dubya outlined to Congress as the reasons that Muslims hate us instead of the real reasons, that we'd been murdering and stealing from them for 100 years! 911 was the reason Congress used as an excuse to destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights! And since this is America, founded upon religious freedom for all, we can all come together and remember those terrorists that planned and executed the 911 attacks and see that they're punished for their crimes! You know who I mean, right?

I mean the members of PNAC who planned 911, i.e., Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, William J. Bennett, John Ellis "Jeb" Bush, Richard B. Cheney, Eliot A. Cohen, Midge Decter, Paula Dobriansky, Steve Forbes, Aaron Friedberg, Francis Fukuyama, Frank Gaffney, Fred C. Ikle[, Donald Kagan, Zalmay Khalilzad, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Norman Podhoretz, J. Danforth Quayle, Peter W. Rodman, Stephen P. Rosen, Henry S. Rowen, Donald Rumsfeld, Vin Weber, George Weigel, Paul Wolfowitz. A rogues' gallery of American traitors par excellence! Along with the RNC and the rest of the Crime Family Bush and their bumbling lap dogs the CIA! You'll recall they were looking for another Pearl Harbor and they got one just like Pearl Harbor, i.e., an inside job, setting up the Muslims instead of the Japanese for a false flag attack.

It's nine years down the road and nobody is calling for their heads on a spike. In fact our current Fuhrer says we need to forget about them as that's all in the past and look forward and concentrate on killing more Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran! And is America outraged over that? Are they demanding a trial for these traitors? Nope, they want, instead, to outlaw Islam. They want to deny Muslims their rights under the US Constitution. They want to ban Mosques and they want to burn the Koran all under the guise of being patriots, instead of the traitors that they are. Mostly, they want them rounded up and put into "Happy Camps(tm)," like we did to the Germans and Japanese Americans during WWII. Innocent, patriotic, American citizens, men, women and children who hadn't committed any crime lost everything. They lost their homes, their cars and businesses and were held in some cases until 1948 behind barbed wire and machine gun towers, without trial or being charged with any crime. Many died or never got over their treatment. Of course, we were so efficient because we had hundreds of years of practice doing the same thing, only worse, to the Indians! You'll remember that one of the first Happy Camps(tm) was called Oklahoma! Oh, and lets not forget that slavery thing; ask a black person how that worked out for them! Now the fascists are looking for some new scapegoats to blame for the acts of politicians and their elite puppet masters! Hey, it's traditional; it's the American way. So do what you do best, America! Roll over and go back to sleep and pretend nothings wrong!

Happy 911 Ya'll!

In Other News

I keep hearing about how the fascists with the help of the teabaggers are going to retake Congress just two years after causing the worst 8 years in our history. We're told this by fascist controlled polls and TV talking heads, surprise! Not to mention all the help the Demoncrats have given the far right since taking power. It's not a done deal, at least not yet, but since Barry has done nothing but play into the RNCs hands since taking office who is to say that all the fascist lies won't turn out to be the truth?

A lot of liberals pooh-pooh the teabaggers, laughing about the name itself. It is, after all, the name for a homosexual act, i.e., of placing one's scrotum into the willing mouth of another, like dunking a Tea Bag into a cup of warm water. While heterosexuals also do the same, it's the homosexual connotation that liberals snicker about.

Sure, a large percentage of Rethuglicans are gay. Yes there are the ones that are out of the closet, openly gay "the Log Cabin Republicans" who took their name from Abe Lincoln, our first bi-sexual president and first Republican. Just a coincidence? I think not. While the Log Cabin boys are out, none of them have been elected to high office. All the Republicans that have won and are gay are deep in the closet. They preach self hate until they're busted and then they change their tune, most recently Ken Mehlman, President Bush's campaign manager in 2004 and a former chairman of the Republican National Committee came out of the closet but so far hasn't spoken to the question of his bosses' i.e., George W's. obvious bi-sexuality. Or did you think that gay male prostitute Jeff Gannon made those 100 plus late night visits to the White House to talk strategy with Bush? I suspect they were teabagging one another, don't you?

This so called grassroots movement has been financed from the very beginning by the billionaire Koch brothers, Charles and David (who have yet to come out of the closet), through their political unit "Americans for Prosperity." What do you think that the rank and file members of the Teabaggers, those mostly middle class, white, straight couples would make of their movement if they knew what it was really all about?

Don't you think if they knew it was all about getting rid of our last few rights and giving complete control over us to the elites like the Kochs, whose dear old dad, Fred Koch, by-the-way, was a founder of the ultra fascist John Birch Society. For the true believers, i.e., the Sheeple, the Kochs would be the twin anti-Christs but, being the Sheeple that they are, none of this, even if they knew it would mean anything as even faced with inflatable truth they will ignore it, because like Jack said to Tom in "A Few Good Men," they can't handle it! Because to face the truth they'd have to face the facts that most everything they believe in is a lie, ergo denial and ignoring is their only escape from reality.

So liberals enjoy a good laugh, until the election, after which I don't think it will be as funny as it is now!

And Finally

Did you join your union brothers and sisters on Labor Day for a union picnic? When I was a lad that was a certainty. My family went to two big picnics every summer. The 4th of July with friends and family and Labor Day with my father's U.A.W. brothers and sisters.

Labor Day, you'll recall, came out of the various strikes and mass murders by private, federal and state National Guard troops in the 1870s and 1880s. Begun in 1882 in New York City, by 1894 it had become a national holiday. Only a bare bone, thrown to the workers but none-the-less, a start. Corpo-rat America would spend the next 50 years fighting tooth and nail against the workers and the unions.

Henry Ford went so far as to hire black men to try and bust Ford's fledgling union. It wasn't done out of kindness by Ford but for greed. It didn't break the union and Ford ended up with unions and blacks something that must have blown his mind!

By the time I came on the scene some 5 years later the unions were growing by leaps and bounds and America was beginning to build a real middle class and for 30 years or so America prospered, as did the workers and surprise, surprise, the bosses, too. Four out of ten working Americans belonged to a union and one person could work one job and make enough money so mom could stay home and raise a family if she so desired.

Today it's about one in eight who belong to unions. While 50+ million Americans don't have health insurance 97% of union members do. Union members still make enough to support their families while non member families often have both mom and dad working and in many cases multiple jobs and are still just holding their heads above water. And as goes the unions, so goes the middle class. United we stand America, divided we fall!

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me!

It's Over

Dear Readers,

I got my walking papers the other day! She wants me G.O.N.E. A.S.A.P.. Trouble is, I done spent all my money financing this magazine and I'm flat broke. I desperately need $1,000 to get me and my stuff back to Detroit and set up housekeeping, before it and I end up on the street walking the 700 miles back to Detroit, and with COPD I don't imagine I'll get very far. If you can help me please do so today. To say that I'm desperate is a vast understatement! HELP! Contact me at: uncle-ernie@journalist.com

PS. Good old Ernie from Ontario, Canada has sent in another nice check, thanks brother. Did I mention that Ernie has donated more than three times the money sent in by Americans all by his lonesome? Did I mention that Ernie is on social security? So I'm wondering why my America readers who are still working 9 to 5 can't lend me a hand in this emergency. If you're as broke as I, don't feel bad, I understand that but if you've been reading us for free for the last nine years isn't it about time you gave us a helping hand? I've gotten slightly less than half the money that I need to move. Time is running out!

Oh, and even more "good" news. The computer that I thought I had access to, I don't, which means I now have to raise another $1200 for a computer and software. Or the magazine will be closed until about the first of March, instead of for a week, as I'm going to be broke until I start getting social security checks in December. So as I write this I need about $2000. Anyone who can help in any way, i.e., transport, cash, a computer, please email me at once! Thanks Ya'll!
