Is America Finally Joining BuelahMan’s Revolt?

Posted by BuelahMan on November 20, 2011

Ya’ll know that most of the people I am trying to reach at this blog are the southern folk of America… my “homies”, or, better known as my “rednecks”. My rednecks have been duped for a long time by the Red State half of the bogus and false two party paradigm, hence why I first called this blog in 2007, BuelahMan’s Redstate Revolt. I thought that if I could just awaken my fellow necks from their brainwashing by that corrupt reTHUGlican Party, I might be able to help make change. I quickly saw that the demoRATs were as bad if not worse, because they lie with every breath. The THUGs just strong arm and lie boldly. dems lie with every breath, but try to show that they can “feel our pain”.

I started revolting from the system long before any of this came into a congealed thought within my head. As a matter of fact, I knew something was horribly wrong very early on, but didn’t understand the depth of the corruption or the stranglehold that the bogus two party system held over us. I was aware of Nixon and some of my first political awareness came about during the Watergate Affair and Nixon’s ouster. I knew that the next scumbag was never presidential material and felt the sooner that ass was voted out, the better. Then we got the peanut boy who lit up the southern folk (for at least one term), but quickly showed his Trilateral/Bilderberg Masters who he would serve (and it wasn’t the American people). I served in the Navy under RayGun (yes, B-Movie hero makes it big) and saw that he was losing his mind and others were running the show (secretly). I knew that his VP was an ex-CIA agent (and those people are never trustworthy… secrecy is untrustable). When Kennedy’s murderer became president, I saw that he made a mockery of our Constitution and had no qualms inventing reasons to begin the “New World Order” he kept blathering about. I knew that Bubba was a dick long before his was orally massaged in the Oval Office. I knew that Al Gore was a liar and W was no better, giving us no real choice. Same for Kerry. Same for Obama. Same for the Old Geezer who ran against Obama.

It has been overly evident that all of these people are liars of the highest order. They will tell the attending audience anything and everything they desire to hear, and in the next stump speech have no qualms about totally flip-flopping 180 degrees to another audience. They don’t give a damn if you realize it because they know that YOU don’t elect them… their Corporate Masters do.

So, I have been revolting against the system for quite some time, but silently, by and large. However, since 2007 and the next year when the total picture began to come out of its blurry image, causing me to distance myself from ANY “party”, I have been verbal about it.

I had little success locally and in person (one person at a time is slow and painful). I thought that I could reach fellow “rednecks” to help them understand exactly what was ruling them and how they might thwart it. This is what BuelahMan’s Revolt is all about. Of course, anyone who is interested is invited to read, comment and join in with us, but I live in the Deep South and I see what happened first hand and some that don’t come from here may not fully understand the depth of the brainwashing.

To help counter this, I have assembled a list of blogs on the right hand side of some of the sites I frequent. You can easily see that all are not southern blogs, but we all have a similar mindset about openness and truth. Yes, some come and go (some quit blogging or in a couple of cases I have seen people become the very thing I was fighting, either Dem Party clowns or a THUG follower). When I see these “idiots” make that change and then harden it by attacking me to save face with their favorite sycophantic Big Blog (or TV personality, or in one case a religious nutcase who writes constantly in judgement of other Christians but cannot take a single question or word against his writings without attack), then I must take them off my blog roll. I will not illuminate ass-kissing sycophants, except to show who’s ass they are kissing.

So, recently I found another site that has struck my fancy (I have seen her around a good bit, but didn’t read her blog until lately). The owner/blogger is Noor and her blog is Snippits and Slappits. I just added her to the list on the right and I encourage you all to check her out and subscribe, should it strike your fancy.

I recently saw a post about revolting and she quoted Crane Brinton from “Anatomy Of A Revolution” and I wanted to share the few words which describe the common way a revolt happens (please go read the entire post):

discontent that affects nearly all social classes;
widespread feelings of entrapment and despair;
unfulfilled expectations;
a unified solidarity in opposition to a tiny power elite;
a refusal by scholars and thinkers to continue to defend the actions of the ruling class;
an inability of government to respond to the basic needs of citizens;
a steady loss of will within the power elite itself;
defections from the inner circle;
a crippling isolation that leaves the power elite without any allies or outside support;
and, finally, a financial crisis.

It seems quite clear that this is almost exactly what has happened in America over the past few decades, quickening over the past 5 to 10 years.

More and more people are unhappy (they may not know precisely why); I see more people in total despair (young kids who don’t have many clothes or eat much); People like myself who have been working their entire lives to better themselves and their family, just to have it all demolished right before my eyes; people finally awakening and starting to get together to voice opposition to the very few ultra rich people who control our lives and the leaders of our government; we have seen the sycophants in mass who have protected the lies and deceit and have refused to use their platforms to help the poor folks; Government continually minimizing or totally erasing many public programs for the poor, all-the-while continually providing mega support for the ultra rich gamblers; The power brokers in government have stopped fighting for us and have basically (as a mass) been bought and paid for by these rich bastards; a few people finally coming out to tell us what really goes on in the power circles (we need many more of these); a huge mass of people are finally telling the rich to eat shit and die (OWS and other occupying campaigns); and is there any question that we are in a total financial meltdown???

Whatever it takes, I am glad if you are finally joining us ole rednecks! Welcome!

1.5% of The Population Control It All

Posted by BuelahMan on July 5, 2011

I remember (in the not-so-distant past) an all hat, no cattle Yale graduate who surrounded himself with Zionist Jews in positions of vast control in our government. I even listed many of these criminals (many are/were “dual citizens” with Israel) in a blog post here. I have been assembling the current administration’s “Jewish List” and then saw a very good post at The Ether Zone which lays out a nice encompassing listing of Jews and/or Zionists that are in the Democratic Obama Administration.

Please read the entire article linked below:

Hollow Christianity

Death To Freedom

by: Al Cronkite

Besides the point made about evangelical Christians in America who fall all over themselves supporting a really stupid and erroneous theology and besides the similar experiences I have had with Mr Cronkite, it was the lists that I wanted to share with you.

My rant is not about religion, it is about the lies and control of Israel over our country and our sycophantic leaderships never-ending kowtowing to Zionism’s directives.

I want some sane person to explain to me how it is mathematically possible for 1.5% of the US population to hold so much power in a country? Is it simply the false meme that Jews are smarter than everyone else? If that were true, one must explain the idiotic shit we do as a nation. The point is that it doesn’t matter which “party” is in control, Zionism and blind allegiance to Israel and its Fascist directions will reign.

But is that good for America, as many Dispensationalist Christians seem to swallow from the likes of Hagey and other preachers, not to mention almost EVERY political congressperson alive? Just look at this list and realize that even your favorite “libertarian” is a supporter of Israel and Zionism, apparently, for they (at this point in time) are indistinguishable. It holds for EVERY Republican POTUS candidate:

They (Zionist Jews) control our media, they control our money, they are dominate in business circles, and will determine the identity of the 2012 Republican Presidential candidate.   Michele Bachman, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee are all fanatical Dispensational supporters of Israel, Mitt Romney is a Mormon, Barber, Giuliani and Gingrich are tired pragmatic politicians who would (and have) sell (or sold) the country down the drain for less than thirty pieces of silver.  All of these power seekers have been to Israel for conferences with Prime Minister Netanyahu.   Both Ron Paul and his son, Rand, support Israel. Gingrich, Romney, and Jon Huntsman have condemned Obama for “throwing Israel under the bus”, Gary Johnson has met with Netanyahu and supports Israel and Rick Santorum has called for a holy war.

Yes, even that radical, Gary Johnson, knows where the real butter is for his bread. Just look at those fools in that list and understand that they will have allegiance to Israel and Zionism, but they don’t give half a rat’s ass about you or even the country they hail from.

But, let’s not simply focus on “that side” of the monstrous false two-party paradigm system. The fact is that Obama’s administration and almost each and every democrat, too, is in bed with the Zionist Jew money bag machinery:

Robert Rubin – Economic adviser to Obama-Biden, former Treasury Secretary, and ultra-greedy Wall Street crook.

Daniel B. Shapiro – Head of the Middle East Desk at the National Security Council (another Jew involved in foreign policy matters involving the Middle East); also a major Washington lobbyist.

Global Warming Czar - Carol Browner – Socialist International, that advocates “global governance.” Not Jewish, but very supportive of Zionist and communist/socialist ideals —-this is only a partial list.   Read more here.

Obviously, these people are all over the leadership and administration, but look at who controls the money (as in Big Banks and the Federal Reserve offices). You can call me whatever name you so desire (anti-Semite or whatever), but for any legitimacy in that claim, you better explain how it is possible for such a small number of people (Zionists and Jews, or Zionist-Jews) to have so much control and to be in the halls of this country’s leadership. Frankly, the math doesn’t work. The odds are not there, which means the “fix” is in. In other words, these people are getting leadership roles (at the very least, they get the ears of those who ARE actual leaders) but there aren’t enough of them to support their numbers in any legitimate way.

But I’ll wait until someone can correct me and my math.

My Favorite reTHUGlican Is Winning The 2012 POTUS Election Polls

Posted by BuelahMan on April 23, 2011

About the first 10 seconds is all that is necessary:

I have said here and other places many times that I will never vote for an R or D ever again. I simply cannot back the false paradigm and lie that controls our country and the minds of so many totally ignorant Americans who still cannot make the connection that they are duped. Stupid is as stupid does.

But what if I HAD to vote R? Who could it be?

Could it be this idiot in a skirt?

Jesus Christ, people! Really? You would even take 2 seconds to consider her?

I mean, you could always choose Palin, right? If it is an attractive woman who is blatantly stupid and nothing more than a caricature to attract a dumbed down citizenry, then at least go for the babe.

You could go for Romney or that murder-loving preacher man who seems to think that prayer is in the shape of a missile.

You could possibly look to Ron Paul, who from a fiscal and military standpoint looks sort of promising (however from a social perspective, he isn’t much better than anyone else, I am afraid). My wish is that he would dump the R and I might consider him, but he isn’t likely to do so.

So who else? That dumbass and perpetually “broke” rich man, Trump?

I suppose that early on my favorite is Gary Johnson. Fiscally he is likely the soundest of all those running (if “conservatism” is actually what you appreciate about the false paradigm R Party). I like his ideas of looking at things from a cost plus benefit to see if what we are doing is actually worth the money spent to carry out the idiocy. Cannabis reform is a huge plank for him to use. One that could either make or totally break his campaign, depending on how brainwashed and stupid the voter remains.

I’d like to know more about is stance on the military, if we truly want to see how “fiscally conservative” he really is.

What do you think? Forget the R’s and vote for the imaginary “lesser of two evils” packaged as a demoRAT?

B’Man’s Redneck Watch: Remove Your Hat During Church

Sometimes It Is Just A Golf Game… Sometimes It Is Far More Than That

Posted by BuelahMan on April 8, 2010

WhoWhatWhy lays it all out for you, but the synopsis is that Big Money had the last POTUS election gamed. Really, people, this is so very easy to understand by simply following the money:

Last August, the presidential press corps followed Barack Obama and his family to Martha’s Vineyard for their brief vacation. The coverage focused on summery fare-a visit to an ice cream parlor, the books the president had brought along. Nearly everyone mentioned his few rounds of golf, including his swing, and the enthusiasm of onlookers. What caught my eye, though, was the makeup of his foursome. The president was joined by an old friend from Chicago; a young aide; and Robert Wolf, Chairman and CEO, UBS Group Americas. In a decidedly incurious piece, a New York Times reporter made light of Wolf’s presence:

The president has told friends that to truly relax he prefers golfing with young aides…But he departed from that pattern Monday when he invited a top campaign contributor, Robert Wolf, president of UBS Investment Bank, to join him for 18 holes. Call it donor maintenance.”Wolf, however, is hardly—as the Times suggested— just another donor. For one thing, he is a leading figure in an industry that almost brought down the entire financial system—and then was the recipient of astonishing government largesse. UBS, along with other banks, benefited directly from the backdoor bailout of the insurance giant AIG.

But UBS stands alone in one rather formidable respect—it was the defendant in the largest offshore tax evasion case in U.S. history, accused of helping wealthy Americans hide their income in secret offshore accounts. To settle a massive investigation, UBS forked over $780 million to the US treasury. This settlement came shortly before Wolf rounded out Obama’s golfing party.  Given this rather problematical situation, why then would the President choose UBS’s Wolf of all people for this honor?

Wolf declined a request for an interview about his relationship with the President, so it was not possible to pose that question to him. This hardly matters, though, for the story goes far beyond Wolf and UBS.  It involves Republicans as well as Democrats, the Bush Administration as well as Obama’s. More importantly, behind the trivialized golf outing on Martha’s Vineyard, lie the interests that increasingly set the course for every administration.

BOTH SIDES NOW

When most people criticize those aspects of government that seem most impervious to the democratic process, they cite the permanency and perceived self-interest of the mandarins of the Washington bureaucracy. But when it comes to real power, an ability to come out ahead no matter which party is in power, it’s hard to top certain financial institutions.

UBS is very much a part of that permanent government. Though not a household name in the United States, UBS is a major player in the Beltway game. During the 2008 campaign, while Robert Wolf was courting Democratic hopeful Obama, his UBS cohort, former Senator Phil Gramm, was working the other side of the street. As chairman of the Senate Banking Committee in the 1990s, Gramm, a corporate-friendly Texas Republican, played a key role in the deregulation of the banking industry, an act so central to the nation’s financial collapse. Since 2002, Gramm has been UBS Americas’ vice chairman. In 2008, he was the leading economics adviser for Obama’s opponent, John McCain— and even touted as a possible treasury secretary in a McCain administration.

The bottom line: UBS hedged its bets, and so had an inside track no matter which party took the White House. Thus, when Obama won, it was Wolf who ascended. The new president named the banker-donor to his White House Economic Advisory Board…

You see, my redneck friends, all you got to do is play both sides of the single headed monster and you win. What, no money to buy them off?

At Least He Is Not McCain and Other Faux Two Party Memes

Posted by BuelahMan on December 1, 2009

I had a discussion with a friend on Facebook last night and added more early this morning referencing the “faux” two party system and all the culprits that are a part of this division strategy (including Michael Moore). In this discussion with a friend, it occurred to me that he, along with many other Americans, are still hoodwinked into believing and perpetuating this bogus system. And this from a very smart man.

The argument, as always, is that Obama is better than Bush or McCain. And I asked him to explain how so.

In what reality can anyone say such a harebrained thing? Does it come from the reality I live and every other American lives? Or is the reality better based off of the innocent people being bombed to smithereens by the guy who mind-melded these people into thinking that he would change a damned thing and hence, brainwashed them into voting for the lessor of two evils?

So, what was the tactic of response to my issues? A grammar lesson. And a bit snidey one, at that.

Thanks, Jack. That tact was extremely telling.

He also told me that this is the way it is,  insinuating that we should work within the system (and that I am so far removed that I can’t understand or see this). This is perfect for those who want us to continue the divide and plays right into their game… how convenient. The argument is, “well, no matter what you say, we HAVE a two party system and we must use it.” There is no, “we must CHANGE the system”. No. Work with what they give us to work with, right, Jack? Just do what they say and everything will work out.

Excuse me, but… Baaaaa.

But wait, there is more. Now, I am a hypocrite because I call Michael Moore on his capitulation to the Corporate Control of America by his endorsement of Obama just a few years after his vehement diatribes against that very two Party system I am railing against right here. And what was MM’s rationale. Obama is not McCain. Forget what I said kjust a couple of years ago. Now I am BACk to the bogus two party system I preached against and am now telling you, the lemmings of America, that you need to foget that shit from two years ago and trust me now.

Yeah. Right.

Now, because I call MM on his bullshit, I am the hypocrite. Fine. If so, then someone, anyone, show a damned link at this blog where I have written such a thing. Show me where I have changed or where I ever endorsed a party.

But, it would seem that MM can shift-change his position radically and that is acceptable. The comparison must be that I changed my mind from pancakes to eggs this morning. Yeah, I’m the hypocrite.

Forgive me, people, for calling you a bunch of mindless lemmings who are just as much of America’s problem as these criminals YOU keep electing. It is because of YOU, the mindless sycophantic water carriers for your party of choice, that we are in the state of affairs we are in. It is because of YOU and your inability to break the chains of brain washing that have you so convinced that “this is the way” and we can’t change it. It is YOU who are holding America back. Get that through your thick skulls and wake the fuck up.

It causes me to question every smart person I come into contact with, for if someone who seems to have brains cannot rid themselves of this mind fuck, intelligence may not be their strongest suit.

I appreciate the grammar lessons, folks. really I do. But maybe, just maybe, there are a few more important details to attend to than the intentional diversion from the important points at hand.

On another note: has anyone from the south ever heard the expression “shift-changer”, referencing someone who changes their mind a lot? Is this just a southern expression? For some reason, this was a thorn in the teacher’s side.

AIG’s Congressional Bonus Plan

Posted by BuelahMan on March 19, 2009

The thievery is even bigger than I wrote about yesterday. Sure, The Obama Man is part of it, but it reaches deep, across both aisles (heavily Dem last election… imagine them picking the winner for us). Max Baucus and Chris Dodd (the two heaviest hitters chairing the two committees that oversee AIG) got the most. How convenient is that? Just a coincidence?

Massie Ritsch at Opensecrets has an article that addresses and breaks down the moneys sent to Congress from AIG. And the redneck Sheople said in unison, “Its just a coincidence.”

Amen?

Before the Fall, AIG Payouts Went to Washington

As long as everyone’s talking today about AIG’s payouts to its executives and foreign banks, let’s remember the payouts AIG has made over the years to politicians. In the last 20 years American International Group (AIG) has contributed more than $9 million to federal candidates and parties through PAC and individual contributions. That’s enough to rank AIG on OpenSecrets.org’s Heavy Hitters list, which profiles the top 100 contributors of all time.

Over time, AIG hasn’t shown an especially partisan streak, splitting evenly the $9.3 million it has contributed since 1989. In the last election cycle, though, 68 percent of contributions associated with the company went to Democrats. Two senators who chair committees charged with overseeing AIG and the insurance industry, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), are among the top recipients of AIG contributions. Baucus chairs the Senate Finance Committee and has collected more money from AIG in his congressional career than from any other company–$91,000. And with more than $280,000, AIG has been the fourth largest contributor to Dodd, who chairs the Senate’s banking committee. President Obama and his rival in last year’s election, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), are also high on the list of top recipients.

AIG has been a personal investment for lawmakers, too. Twenty-eight current members of Congress reported owning stock in AIG in 2007, worth between $2.5 million and $3.3 million. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), one of the richest members of Congress, was by far the biggest investor in AIG, with stock valued around $2 million.

Last year AIG and its subsidiaries spent about $9.7 million on federal lobbying, or about $53,000 for every day Congress was in session in 2008. The company’s spending on advocacy last year was down from an all-time high of $11.4 million spent on lobbying in 2007.

Let me ask you rednecks, at what point is it that you have had enough? What has to be done before you realize that they are ALL, including your beloved emotional investment, Barack Obama, complicit and a part of the scheme? When will you poor, ignorant rednecks realize that the reTHUGs and Dems are identical, except in the wedge issues that mean NOTHING in light of what is going on. That you pick fights over abortion and “Socialism” when they are robbing you and your dear little old mother blind?

When will you stupid city assholes who keep defending the Democrats finally wake up? When will you country fuckers understand that there has never been a right-winger who gives a fuck about you?

They do NOT care one iota about you, except to control and get (written as “steal”) your money. Aren’t you even mildly pissed, you ObamaManiacs who invested your soul into a man who is a part of the ravaging of your life’s savings and continues to implement a “plan” who’s goal is NOT to help you, but to help the rich (with the slight possibility that something will “trickle down” to your poor ass)?

How gullible and stupid are you people when it is this god damned obvious?

The only thing that has “trickled down” since RayGun’s acting performance is the shit. The money stays there, making less for you. But we sure as hell get the shit.

AIG’s bonus plan is only a minuscule part of the screwing we are getting. Its one of those shiny little objects to focus attention on, while the real thivery is going on in the vault. Things are much worse than you are believing right now. The MSM isn’t telling you and those Democratic sycophantic websites that you rely on so much aren’t giving you the whole truth, just the regurgitated bullshit from their heroes like Obama and any other crooked asshole that calls themselves a Democrat (but what about their attack on the Blue Dogs, B’Man?). There is no such thing.

The whole god damned group is right-wing, but you so called lefties apparently don’t know the difference between left and right. There is only corruption (sorry Dennis and Ron, your two lone voices mean so little at this point that you aren’t helping much). I respect them both but they sold out to Party in many ways. They had no choice.

But the real problem is you ignorant and sheople-like rednecks.

As long as you remain ignorant to what is happening, they are going to have a windfall. And when that is over, there will be nothing except government service, FEMA camps or poverty for you.

They are constructing these camps right now because they know what is coming. Thing is, it will be too late then. They will have a secure little place to put you when you finally get outraged and grab your gun. But what about now? Why wait till you are that pissed? Why not get verbal?

Because you are a bunch of clueless dumbasses if you believe everything is going to be all right and that they are looking out for you.

Thanks a lot, you ignorant assholes, for putting your fingers in your ears. Thanks for considering lip-sticked bulldogs vs Muslim Terroist Socialist Black men. Thanks for worrying so deeply about Christianity’s place in America, allthewhile ignoring the things Christ actually taught and represented. Thanks for becoming the blind lemmings who are herding me with you over the cliff.

Fucking Sheople.

To those who do understand and are fighting to show these idiots that they have been lined up in front of a firing squad, but they are so stupid that they think they are getting some chocolate government handout: Thank you! There aren’t many of you, but you have my support.

B’Man’s Sabbath Watch: The Shiny Little Objects That Command Our Attention

Posted by BuelahMan on March 1, 2009

What’s is your biggest reason why you didn’t vote for Barack Obama, redneck? Because he was black?

How about any of them (if you happened to be insightful enough to think outside the box and look at a third party)? Was there a key reason (or two) that decided it for you?

Where I live in SW TN, the majority of folks voted for McCain. Of those I spoke to, the vast majority said because of abortion (it may have been the black thing, but the majority didn’t admit it). You see, in the minds of most of us rednecks, we are more apt to focus on that shiny little object that the people who run shit use to distract us and wedge us against each other… all so that we don’t see the truth. There may be other distractions, but I would say that this is one HUGE wedge issue that divides people.

But, in the scheme of things, is THIS really the most pressing issue that makes a decision for a vote? This ONE issue?

Religion is what keeps the poor from killing the rich

Where it is a Duty to worship the Sun, it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the Laws of Heat-
John Marley

One man’s theology is another man’s belly laugh-
Robert Heinlein

Pope Benedict XVI recently told Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and one of the most prominent abortion rights politicians in America, that she must reject abortion and become anti-abortion. Unlike George W. Bush, Pelosi seemed to ignore that demand while still expressing pride in her religious heritage and “great joy” that she met Pope Benedict.

In 1960, JFK had to reassure US voter’s worries about the Pope having too much influence in American politics. Today, we have five US Supreme Court who are Catholic, very, very conservative and right wing. Things have changed.

This is not the first time that Benedict has intruded in American politics. Near the end of the 2004 Presidental campaign, the Vatican announced that no Catholic should vote for Kerry because he supported abortion. That statement came from Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith- formerly known as the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Yes, that Inquisition. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, referred to in the Vatican press as “the Pope’s enforcer” and “God’s rottweiler”. Some say he’s the ‘evil Pope’, some say he’s laid back, mild and humble. His shades and red patent leather Prada shoes belay that humble image.

Ratzinger was also in the Hitler Youth in 1941, as all 14 year old Germans were forced to do. There have been a lot of questions about Christianity and Naziism. They are important questions and observations. The belt buckles of the enlisted men in the German Army said “Gott mit uns”- God is with us. Germany has been a Christian country for centuries. There were Catholic Germans and Protestant Germans. The Protestant were much more traditionalist and militant. Then there was the German Christian Church, the Nazi’s own church with their imagery and ideology. Millions of Germans belonged to that church with its Nazi Protestantism. German Imperialism, fueled by Nazi power and Christianity, was on the move again. The Train was moving. Fascism, Christianity, Anti-Semitism, Capitalism plus a hatred of Bolshevikism and Communism were the engines on that Nazi Train. German Christianity would never be the same again.

It’s popular among Christian apologists to claim that Hitler and the Nazis were all consequences of atheism, secularism and liberalism. That wasn’t the reality. Hitler regularly proclaimed his faith in God; Nazi ideology was committed to supporting Christianity (on Nazi terms, of course). The actions of Hitler and the Nazis were about as “Christian” as the actions of people during the Crusades or the Inquisition. People can’t imagine Christians doing the horrible crimes of the Nazis, but it’s true. Hitler explicitly appealed to Christianity on a regular basis and that’s part of why he was so popular. He was most popular among conservative Christians seeking a restoration of “traditional values, Christian Nationalism, anti-communnism and anti-semitism”. Christians may not like acknowledging that Nazi actions had anything to do with Christianity, but Germany saw itself as a fundamentally Christian nation and millions of German Christians enthusiasticlly endorsed Hitler and the Nazi Party believing they showed both German and Christion ideals.

Fast forward to 2009. As far as abortion ideas (or culture war ideas), Pope Benedict has no special information; his views are just his opinion. When Benedict talks abortion, he means that life begins at conception. It’s a very political viewpoint. The Biblical view of when life begins, birth or conception, seems to favor birth.

The Bible often identifies life with ‘breath”, (Gen. 2:7) suggesting that life begins at birth, not conception. In Job 33:4 it states: “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Ezekiel 37: 1-14 suggests that which is consistent with Genesis 2:7. Adam did not become a “living soul” until the “breath of life” entered his nostrils, after his body was formed. There are other examples, Joshua 10:40, 1 Kings 15:29 and many otheres where “breath” is treated as a synonym for “life”. In Biblical terms, it seems clear that life begins at birth, not conception.

Jewish law and Jewish Biblical scholars traditionally consider that life begins at birth. That’s good enough for me.

If life begins at birth, then there can be no death or killing of a human being. Life begins when a human being first draws a breath outside of Mom’s body. Until then, it’s just a Potential inside Mom and definitely not separate.

In my opinion, right wing views of abortion are really not about “saving a baby from death”. They’re about demonizing liberals and their worldview. The debate is framed and made to seem that liberals actively seek abortions as a means of birth control. Liberal mothers are shown as the type of mother who would kill her own children for convenience. Right wingers say this shows what kind of people liberals are; the liberal agenda is corrupt, their viewpoints are rediculous and they should never have any political power because they would destroy America from within with loose morals, ethics and decay. Right wingers and conservatives actually believe this.

Oh, what an argument liberals and conservatives have about when life begins. It goes on and is usually a right wing smoke screen to cover their grab for power.

Pope Benedict should go out into the sunshine and look at his passport to see his Birth Date. It’s just like all the passports in the world; there is a birth date, not a date of conception. Everyone marks their life by date of birth, not date of conception. Everyone. Imagine what this says about abortion.

Belief that a human being then exists at the moment of conception is a faith, a wishful thinking, definitely not backed up by the Department of Licensing or the Passport Office. I like it that way.

I Lost The Election For Obama

Posted by BuelahMan on November 4, 2008

Funny stuff (thanks Lynda),

But the truth is that Obama should win this by a landslide.

It takes a certain idiocy to equate John McCain with Barack Obama on many issues (altho I am quick to point all of them out). When they set us up for the choice of two evils, one is far worse than the other.

If Obama doesn’t win this election, it is rigged.

Period.

Hope you vote today.

I am shortly and for Nader.

Tennessee (and all other red states) will be a victory for McCain so there is no reason to be worried about your vote losing it for Obama.

Vote your conscience. Vote your desires. Vote for a real American hero.

Vote Nader to prove something. To prove you don’t have to be part of the system they force you into.

Sincerely,

The Loser of this election for Barack Obama,

Ray F.

The Bush-Obama-McCain Administration

Posted by BuelahMan on November 3, 2008

Whew! All you people are so ready for a new president that you will forget anything these people said or did just so you can get rid of W. But the truth is that W is like Obama in several ways, especially in War Mongering. Obama, too, likes to protect the Big Telecom folks from being held accountable for their law-breaking (my o my, just like Georgie).

Need a little illegal bombing of a sovereign country, hell, don’t wait for Mr Obama to bomb Pakistan and Syria, just let the pre-Obama W presidency do it for you.

Hell, there is no sense in holding the W cabal accountable for anything it did, which conveniently makes it easier for W-Lite (Obama) to continue the illegal activities that will cause the total demise of our country.

No, people who are bamboozled by Barack. he isn’t much better than W. They are all the same and you have fallen for the lies and bullshit. You will be devastated in about 2 years when you realize that you believed the bullshit. But, I will not forget the idiotic ass-sniffing you did to Mr Obama. I will not forget it was YOU who fucked us.

From Ed at Not Another CONspiracy:

The period we’re living in now is the Bush-Obama-McCain Administration.

Bush obligingly initiated Obama’s bombing campaign on Pakistan. The three of them colluded on the recent wealth transfer (about $840 billion) from the American people to Wall St.

The 24 hr/7 days/wk media Wurlitzer distracts us from looking at these white elephants too closely. The circus is so loud and visually entraining that it hides the deeper structure of society. The U.S. is a military dictatorship with scientific public relations. Part of this scientific PR is the careful cultivation of and trumpeting of America’s democratic trappings. The important thing to remember is that McCain and Obama were carefully vetted by the moneyed rulers and this is not particularly a secret. It’s called “campaign contributions”. After that, we the people get to choose from two approved candidates.

The fix is in. McCain’s a patsy. Obama’s repeatedly been anointed sovereign on the cover of Time (That’s of Time-Warner, the media conglomerate he won’t break up.)

There’s no left to speak of in the US. There are material reasons for this- weak unions, few strikes. (The reasons why unions are weak are beyond the scope of this discussion.) So left-wing stars like Ralph Nader and Amy Goodman are tethered to nothing, like bloated Macy parade balloons that have floated up and become more bloated. So their efforts, however well-intentioned, don’t have force behind them and are sometimes completely ineffective.
The Society of the Spectacle meets the neo-totalitarian total information awareness society. The state has technology for and has commandeered the resources to spy upon everyone with 16 or 18 “intelligence” agencies and control us as much as possible with the media of five corporations that are pretty well unified as to how and how much the populace is “informed”. On the other hand, the populace is atomized (deprived of meaningful ties to others); the only major non corporate-government institutions are the cooptable churches.

The handsome prince and his foil, the wicked, but comely, queen. They’re comic book superheroes- perfect for TV, the key instrument of oppression and ignorance. (Notice the immense effort to make sure everybody has digital TV by next Feb. I wish they cared that much to give water to our brethren in New Orleans.)

Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are too good to be true:

Barack Obama- that name is foreign beyond foreign, mother a hippy who had a black’s child, an actual African (gasp). This sounds as scary to many whites as the orchestrated excesses of the police state such as the Daarth Vader outfitted police with their North Korea style truncheons at the Republican convention seem to anxious liberals and righteous activists.

Sarah Palin – superhero mom, she’ll serve milk and cookies for you while on the way to running and ruining the world. She’s not regular pro-gun, church, etc. She is the cartoon version- actually shoots wolves from helicopters; associates with, to put it a little too politely, “white nationalists”.

This dichotomy serves only the rulers. What the vast majority on both sides need are exactly the same things: peace, economic relief, and freedom from the intrusive state.

Divide and conquer. The rulers have been promoting race war as a counter to class struggle since the 1600s. They are very good at it.

After the election the economy may get still worse and there will be further military adventures. As things unravel the game will be: blame the Black guy. This process has already started.

As far as U.S. military planners go, the election cycle and the public’s feelings are only a factor in determining the timing and announcement of aggressive actions, kind of like taking into account the weather for an optimal time for the Normandy landing in WW2.

It’s a military dictatorship with Handsome Presidents. The election is a joke, but more importantly, a waste of the people’s time (except, perhaps some local races). Get over it. Think and find effective ways to rebel.

November 5th brings the testing that WILL come–

The Test that IS coming–

George W. Bush had to react when a U.S. military surveillance aircraft was forced down in China and its crew detained for 11 days. The episode started as an accident, but Beijing used it to measure a new executive with scant international experience. In 1993 Bill Clinton was blindsided by the “Blackhawk Down” firefight in Mogadishu. After 18 U.S. soldiers were killed in an ambush, he abruptly withdrew U.S. forces from Somalia — and taught Osama bin Laden not to fear American power.White House agenda. Condoleezza Rice might want to say. The State Department‘s efforts over the past year to negotiate the nuclear disarmament of that charter “axis of evil” member has deteriorated into something very like the status quo the Bush administration repudiated when it first took office. In exchange for not restarting its bomb production line, the regime of Kim Jong Il extracts bribes, like its recent removal from State’s list of terrorism sponsors. Obama (or McCain) team flinch? Not just in Pyongyang but in Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo, any such probe will be minutely observed. Iranian Revolutionary Guard — in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and southern Iraq and on the Persian Gulf — have been almost eerily quiet. But they’ve not been abandoned. On the contrary, Israeli sources say long- and short-range missiles are pouring into Lebanon, despite a U.N. ban on arms deliveries to Hezbollah. Since a cease-fire began in late June, Hamas has imported through tunnels from Egypt an estimated 20 tons of explosives; dozens of anti-tank missiles; and tons of metal, fertilizer and chemicals used to build the rockets aimed at Israeli cities. U.S. officials say the camps in Iran where the Guard trains “special groups” for attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq are still busy. Binyamin Netanyahu. It will be preparing for its own presidential election, in which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — health permitting — will seek reelection. Will the Guard — the most hard-line of Iran’s competing factions — judge that a flare-up in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq or the Persian Gulf is the best way to intimidate the new U.S. and Israeli leaders, undermine any move toward negotiations with Washington by Iranian doves, and bolster the campaign of Guard patron Ahmadinejad? Though Iranian moves are always hard to predict, that one would not be a surprise. Hugo Chávez, who need a Yanqui enemy, and small Eurasian countries such as Georgia, which need a U.S. shield against Russia. There are the Russians themselves — who measure their country’s power by its ability to thwart American initiatives. University of Maryland. One way to do that is to create a crisis — for example, a collapse of the Palestinian Authority or an Israeli strike on Gaza. Another is a positive surprise — maybe, an agreement by Hamas to a referendum on whether to accept a two-state solution. Either way, if the next president does not soon call on the Middle East, it will find a way to call him.

Of course Joe Biden is right — there will be an early international crisis to test the new president. There almost always is. In April 2001 — long before Sept. 11 —

Chances are the next administration’s first test will be a surprise. Yet some probes are predictable. For the past few months several familiar U.S. adversaries have been waiting out the Bush administration while painstakingly setting up traps they can spring on the incoming president. A few other actors are thinking about the ways they can get their problems onto what will be, from inauguration day on, an impossibly busy

And then there are the Israelis and Palestinians. At the annual Weinberg conference of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy in September, two senior surrogates for the McCain and Obama campaigns agreed on one large point: that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would rank far down the new president’s list of priorities. Don’t bet on it. “Both the Israelis and the Palestinians will want to elevate their issues on the agenda,” says Shibley Telhami, a Middle East scholar at the

My Holiday With John McCain

Posted by BuelahMan on November 3, 2008

Is this story at World Prout Assembly true? I dunno. But I would bet that it is certainly within his character to do everything that is stated here. This account basically expresses what I have felt about McCain for quite some time. If nothing else, read it and determine for yourself, if this is something that John McCain would do.

by Ana Dubey
World Prout Assembly
Nov 2, 2008

This shocking account was written by Ana Dubey, who has a PhD in psychology and has a private practice in San Francisco. Ana’s husband is currently a Managing Director of a private equity firm in the Bay Area. Ana and her husband are not political activists and don’t have any personal ax to grind. In fact, in writing this account of her experience with John McCain, Ana is acting outside of her own economic self-interest as she and her husband are among the top 3-5% of our population who would benefit from the McCain tax/economic policies.

It was just before John McCain’s last run at the presidential nomination in 2000 that my husband and I vacationed in Turtle Island in Fiji with John McCain, Cindy, and their children, including Bridget (their adopted Bangladeshi child).

It was not our intention, but it was our misfortune to be in close quarters with John McCain for almost a week, since Turtle Island has a small number of bungalows and their focus on communal meals force all vacationers who are there at the same time to get to know each other intimately. He arrived at our first group meal and started reading quotes from a pile of William Faulkner books with a forest of Post-Its sticking out of them. As an English Literature major myself, my first thought was “if he likes this so much, why hasn’t he memorized any of this yet?” I soon realized that McCain actually thought we had come on vacation to be a volunteer audience for his “readings” which then became a regular part of each meal. Out of politeness, none of the vacationers initially protested at this intrusion into their blissful holiday, but people’s buttons definitely got pushed as the readings continued day after day.

Unfortunately this was not his only contribution to our mealtime entertainment. He waxed on during one meal about how Indo-Chine women had the best figures and that our American corn-fed women just couldn’t meet up to this standard. He also made it a point that all of us should stop Cindy from having dessert as her weight was too high and made a few comments to Amy, the 25 year old wife of the honeymooning couple from Nebraska that she should eat less as she needed to lose weight. McCain’s appreciation of the beauty of Asian women was so great that David the American economist had to move his Thai wife to the other side of the table from McCain as McCain kept aggressively flirting with and touching her.

Needless to say I was irritated at his large ego and his rude behavior towards his wife and other women, but decided he must have some redeeming qualities as he had adopted a handicapped child from Bangladesh. I asked him about this one day, and his response was shocking: “Oh, that was Cindy’s idea – I didn’t have anything to do with it. She just went and adopted this thing without even asking me. You can’t imagine how people stare when I wheel this ugly, black thing around in a shopping cart in Arizona. No, it wasn’t my idea at all.”

I actively avoided McCain after that, but unfortunately one day he engaged me in a political discussion which soon got us on the topic of the active US bombing of Iraq at that time. I was shocked when he said, “If I was in charge, I would nuke Iraq to teach them a lesson.” Given McCain’s personal experience with the horrors of war, I had expected a more balanced point of view. I commented on the tragic consequences of the nuclear attacks on Japan during WWII – but no, he was not to be dissuaded. He went on to say that if it was up to him he would have dropped many more nuclear bombs on Japan. I rapidly extricated myself from this conversation as I could tell that his experience being tortured as a POW didn’t seem to have mellowed out his perspective, but rather had made him more aggressive and vengeful towards the world.

My final encounter with McCain was on the morning that he was leaving Turtle Island. Amy and I were happily eating pancakes when McCain arrived and told Amy that she shouldn’t be having pancakes because she needed to lose weight. Amy burst into tears at this abusive comment. I felt fiercely protective of Amy and immediately turned to McCain and told him to leave her alone. He became very angry and abusive towards me, and said, “Don’t you know who I am.” I looked him in the face and said, “Yes, you are the biggest asshole I have ever met” and headed back to my cabin. I am happy to say that later that day when I arrived at lunch I was given a standing ovation by all the guests for having stood up to McCain’s bullying.

Although I have shared my McCain story informally with friends, this is the first time I am making this public. I almost did so in 2000, when McCain first announced his bid for the Republican nomination, but it soon became apparent that George Bush was the shoo-in candidate and so I did not act then. However, now that there is a very real possibility that McCain could be elected as our next president, I feel it is my duty as an American citizen to share this story. I can’t imagine a more scary outcome for America than that this abusive, aggressive man should lead our nation. I have observed him in intimate surroundings as he really is, not how the media portrays him to be. If his attitudes toward women and his treatment of his own family are even a small indicator of his real personality, then I shudder to think what will happen to America were he to be elected as our President.
