Whatever Happened To What's His Name? By Ernest Stewart
"The American people mistakenly empowered the federal government during a fit of populist rage in the early twentieth century by giving it an unlimited source of income (the Sixteenth Amendment) and by changing the way Senators are elected (the Seventeenth Amendment)." ~~~ Rick Perry "And the banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place," ~~~ US Senator Dick Durbin "We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery." ~~~ Charlie Chaplin A close examination of Michelle, Willard, or Rick finds brain-dead traitors in Armani suits or a K-Mart dress! Michelle has so many skeletons in her closet, there's no way she could win, nor is she even capable of doing the job; she's Sarah Palin's dumber sister! Wrap your mind around that if you can! If you talked with her, you'd soon realize you wouldn't trust her to babysit your kids, much less run the country! Willard, well, whenever I hear his name I think of a giant rat -- which isn't a bad analogy of old Mitt. Start with his magic underwear, his plans of ruling a solar system someday, and his being the unashamed "Corpo-rats are people too" spokesman, and this front-runner hasn't a prayer! Rick Perry? To know him is to hate him, and I do! When America gets to know him, too, he can kiss his candidacy goodbye! These three will soon join the other what's-his-names like Duncan Hunter, who? Or Tim Pawlenty -- again, who? Does the name Jon Huntsman ring any bells? I thought not! What about pizza godfather, Herman Cain? Perhaps a vote for Gary Johnson, uh huh? A friend suggested that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie should run as he'll never be reelected in Jersey. Yes, what the Rethuglicans need to run is old Man-Bear-Pig, since he couldn't beat Barry, he could at least, sit on him! That's not the only problems in store for the Grand Oil Party. Consider the reaction to the Tea Baggers and their bright ideas. They will certainly get no support from the fence sitters - i.e., middle-of-the-roaders - none from the left and they've even managed to piss off their hardcore supporters, so we may see a shift back in the control of the House to the Demoncrats. Not to mention the Rethuglicans losing a few seats in the Senate. I wonder who the new Tea Baggers will be come next August recess? I'm sure the Koch brothers and the rest are working on that, even as we speak! If elected, Perry has plans to rewrite the Constitution and Bill of Rights -- to get rid of all those liberal thoughts and replace them with his idea of fascism, er, Americanism. He'd get rid of Section I, Article III of the Constitution, limiting all federal judges to two year terms. He'd also overturn the Extreme Court by allowing Con-gress to overrule any decision with a 2/3 vote. While these two might sound good, have no doubt that the devil is in the details -- which Rick isn't too detailed and forthcoming about. His third proposal would scrap the 16th amendment which gives Con-gress the power to level income taxes. Well, there goes the infrastructure; I wonder what he proposes to replace it with -- so far there's not a word from Perry about that! While we're in the teens, Rick would scrap the 17th amendment, as well. You know, the one that allows for direct elections of US Sinators. I guess we're not smart enough to chose for ourselves; Perry wants the state legislatures to elect them as the Romans did, who needs a voice from the mob? Now the rich and powerful can speak for all! He also has a couple of Amendments to the Constitution he'd like to add. First, a balanced budget amendment, sounds good again -- until you think about what programs will be cut to do so. Perhaps an end to our illegal wars and trillion dollar gifts to our ruling elite? Yes I know, "Fat Chance Of Fong!" More like getting rid of all the social programs. We'll set grandma out on an ice flow for the polar bears! Secondly, he'll protect all the gays and lesbians from the horrors of marriage by making an Amendment to limit marriage to a man and a woman. So much for those states rights he normally loves, funny thing that, huh? Finally, he would outlaw abortions for any reason, including to save the life of the mother -- by Amendment. He also supports women as second-class citizens and the reestablishment of slavery as he said in a Christian Broadcasting Network interview; he said that "I would support a federal amendment outlawing abortion because it is so important...to the soul of this country and to the traditional values [of] our founding fathers." You'll recall some of those traditional values were slavery, women as sex toys and no votes for anyone who isn't a rich, white male property owner. And let's not forget those traditional genocidal pogroms against the natives and concentration camps for the survivors, et cetera! Finally, Perry is often called by fellow Texicans George W. Bush without a brain. Perry, like Bush, gets a kick out of executing people, and pride in signing the death warrant for Cameron Todd Willingham, a man who was shown to be innocent of the crime, and then bragging about killing an innocent man, which in Texas gave him a 20% boost in the polls during the last election. Perry is George W. Bush (who set a record for assembly-line executions in Texas) without a heart. Some say Perry is Genghis Khan, without the compassion! Rick Perry -- what's not to like, America? Let me explain why Obama is the monster that he is. No, it's not just his evil white side, his black side is equally evil, but he comes by it honestly, not to say that he's ever been honest with us. No, Mom and pretend-Dad and Grand Ma and Grand Pa were CIA agents, so what did you expect? Let's take it a step further, Grand Ma also ran the CIA's bank in Hawaii, ergo, he was raised by a fascist banker, so what did you expect? Raised by spooks and the banksters is all that he knows, it's his reason for living. Are those trillion dollar bank giveaways starting to make sense, now? You know, the ones we'll soon be giving up our prepaid Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Food Stamps, etc. for? His current slap on the wrist to the banksters that he's peddling to us and fighting tooth-and-nail to keep the Attorney Generals in several states in line for the Banksters. It's to keep the AGs from locking up these banksters and throwing away the key. Even that is too light a punishment for the grief, deaths and destruction of millions of peoples lives and futures that they've caused. Obama is pulling out all stops to keep these AGs, who have sworn an oath to protect us, from seeing that these monsters get what's coming to them, by any and all means necessary. From his favorite closed-door sessions, to outright open threats to everyone he's appointed, it's a never-ending, grind-them-down ploy, but so far it hasn't worked. So don't come to me when 2012 rolls around and say we have to vote for him, the lesser of two evils, lest the Rethuglican candidate will win, because I'll be damned if I can see any difference, except maybe Bachmann, Perry or Romney just might be the lesser of two evils? Couldn't happen, huh? Then explain every time that Barry's "caved" he's always offered more than what the Rethuglicans demanded. You'll recall the last time, he offered up all of the social programs, even the ones that pay for themselves, to the Tea Baggers when they never asked or even dreamed to ask for them. And that's been Obamahood from Day One. I call him Obamahood because he steals from the poor and gives to the rich, and is doing everything in his power to destroy the middle class. To be fair, he's doing this just like Smirky, Slick Willie, Papa Smirk and Ray-guns did before him. He works for the very same people as they did, and it's not us that he's working for, but the banksters! As I said when he won the nomination, "We are so fucked, America!" Julius, with a stroke of his pen, destroyed the Fairness Doctrine and 82 other rules governing electronic media. They and the truth were deemed obsolete, and, therefore, abandoned by the FCC. "FCC chairman Julius Genachowski called the rules "outdated" and said they were being removed to lessen the burdens of regulation on media companies. The decision also includes significant reductions in satellite and broadcasting license fees. The FCC said the moves are part of its focus on eliminating rules that are no longer needed and revising others to reflect changes in technology, "thereby clearing the path for greater competition, investment and job creation." Now that the gloves are officially off, Issues & Alibis becomes just that more important, without us where will you be? Mark well what Julius said: "The elimination of the obsolete Fairness Doctrine regulations will remove an unnecessary distraction. As I have said, striking this from our books ensures there can be no mistake that what has long been a dead letter remains dead. The Fairness Doctrine holds the potential to chill free speech and the free flow of ideas and was properly abandoned over two decades ago. I am pleased we are removing these and other obsolete rules from our books." Please help us to continue fighting the good fight. We're still $1500 short with time running out. A little help, Ya'll! 12-31-1928 ~ 08-20-2011 We'll remember always, graduaction day!
