Scott Walker portrays himself as some unstoppable wonder kind. Some claim that Hillary could defeat Walker
in his home state because Scott is lagging in the polls. But that being said my fear now is that Scott Walked could well be our next President. Justice Ginsburg is in her eighties and if she retires you're going to get another conservative justice that will lock in worse than ever a "hegemeni" of the far right for the next ten or fifteen years. So far in his life Scott Walker has been unstoppable. If the Koch Brothers have already selected him as the Republican nominee of 2016 than watch out! He single-handedly got photo ID for voters
and wiped out labor unions making Wisconsin a “right to work state”. He tooted his horn endlessly when he spoke at
this American Freedom Conference in South Carolina. There are so many of these ultra conservative
conventions now. He hit all the right
notes in attacking planned parenthood, defunding that- - and talking about God
and prayer. Supposedly he turned a major
deficit into a major budget surplus and drove the unemployment rate in
Wisconsin to 4.6% I have heard from
Hartman and others that “Wisconsin was left a shambles” but I could not even
find an anti Scott Walker entry except for a minor thing on labor unions. Before governor he was county commissioner of
Milwaukee and turned that entity around.
He claims he’s made Wisconsin the 12th best state to do
business in as opposed to 43rd or whatever it used to be. I doubt many of these statistics. Unfortunately he knows how to handle
(jerry-rig) Google and “get negative things about him off the internet”.
Rude Pundit was having
a hissy fit about a new anti abortion law in Oklahoma where women are forced to
“suffer the indignity” of waiting 72 hours before they snuff out a human life. What if they reduced convict’s death watch to
72 hours. Then they are “forced” to go
to an anti abortion web site called “a woman’s right to know”. Shudder the thought you’d have to know the
consequences of something before you go out and do it. Of course there are almost no places in
Oklahoma where you can get an abortion.
[applause] I read all this stuff
last night and the Rude Pundit repeated all these points on the Stephanie
Miller shows this morning. Last night I
went out and we got to talking about politics and I told Nancy Bell and Connie
that I didn’t vote for President Obama last time because as a Christian I could
not support someone so avidly pro abortion with his ‘wrongful life suits’. But I ran into a major buzz saw on this
issue from Nancy and Connie who it turns out are both rabidly pro
abortion. There is a myth that nobody is
“pro abortion” but “pro choice”. Believe
you me these two are avidly pro abortion.
Connie admitted to having had an abortion. Nancy really reacted when I spoke of “the frivolous
reason of pregnancy being inconvenient”.
She played the feminist card on me saying “If you were a woman you
wouldn’t say that”, discussing how painful childbirth is. Of course the media at large is not very pro
abortion now at all. The last taboo is
doing ads for “How to get a quick abortion before your husband knows what’s
going on”. The abortion rate has gone
down steadily over the past twenty years.
I remember that Mo Udall guy being chided for being “Mo uterus” because “feminine
rights were out of fashion this year”.
Nobody apparently cared about feminist rights last year in that Colorado
senate election against Gardener.
Thom Hartman says that "People all too often use projection of their own weaknesses accusing others of them". So, he goes on, "People who say there are too many synical people around are themselves synical". Apparently- - President Obama has been saying things about Elizabeth Warren that aren't very nice calling her just another opportunistic politician. Thom suggests that perhaps President Obama is synical about the motives of others because his own motives (picking up on a theme of this writer) are not all that pure as the driven snow. President Obama may see himself as a politician first, and way, way down on the list is this whole bit about "being an agent of change". Why is it the ONLY program that the President is not backing away from and the ONLY program with a good chance of passage with this congress- - is the Trans Pacific Trade partnership, alias SHAFTA. This will do more damage to America and the Constitution than all the other things Republicans accuse the President of - - - put together. Hartman says that these rich companies like Apple are sitting on billions of dollars in cash and have NO INCENTIVE to invest in American jobs right here in this country, the way President Reagan "predicted" they would when he endorsed this trickle down economic philosophy. Just remember that with trickle down, all you've got left after that are a bunch of peons. (Selah) This ties in because the Trans Pacific Partnership - -is less about PRODUCING anything but rather KEEPING the profits- -with a trade agreement tailor written to International Corporation specifications giving them everything they want. One of the worst traits of the bill is this provision of "Denying us profits" or reduction of profits by- - for instance - - illegal oil drilling- - or doing anti smoking commercials whose effect may well be to reduce the sales of tobacco products. Keep in mind in the old days- say a hundred years ago- - companies just didn't have the capital to relocate overseas to hire workers for a tenth of the domestic minimum wage.
Pat Buchannon is so
strong on the idea we should not give aid to the Ukrainians. But when pressed on the matter he gave a
simple confession. “If we go to war with
Russia, we’ll lose”. That’s the best
reason at all for not making war. If
there were some UFO ray we could aim at all of Putin’s nukes to neutralize them,
it would be an entirely different story.
Pat claims that all Putin wants is autonomy for governmental areas in
the eastern Ukraine. Somehow I doubt
that would appease Putin. We could try
it- - and I’m make sure they signed a whole l,ot of documents saying “This ends
the hostilities. This satisfies all your
demands”. You know they are going to say
very soon afterward “This is not enough for us.
We want full Russian control of certain provences in Ukraine.” And then we’d give them that and they’d come
after us for yet more. So we might have
to go to war with them anyway just like Nazi Germany. At least then all of these appeasements
bought us a little time to properly prepare for all out war.
Stephanie and Chris say
that if you agree with any talk show host all the time, then you’re an
idiot. I don’t even agree with Hartmann
all the time. But since I have made this
“proclamation” about dissent- - I would not assume an air of hostility twords
callers who don’t like Hillary. She did
make up the story about landing on the tarmac and getting fired upon and having
to run for shelter. Hillary DID go to
great lengths to destroy her E mails, and it’s suggested that maybe some of it
involves foreign donations to her campaign fund, which is illegal. Hillary is known to get a little “testy” when
she disagrees. I personally don’t have a
problem with that, but some feminist bashers might allude to some “PMS attack”
or some sexist remark like that. I think
Hartman is too Putin friendly and “RT” influenced. He has pushed me to the left a little on
certain economic issues, though. Nancy
is like a FOX news junky who’s also a pro abortionist. She repeated again this theme of “I don’t
like President Obama because he’s constantly whining about all the programs he
hasn’t been able to get through congress”.
Now I’m confused. Is she saying
that she APPROVES of Obama’s legislative programs and somehow the President
hasn’t tried hard enough to get his programs approved? Nancy spoke of how ‘Obama Care is socialized
medicine”, which clearly reveals her ignorance of what “socialized medicine”
is. That is like the VA where the
government hires and pays the doctors.
We are the farthest thing from that.
In an attempt to agree with Nancy on SOMETHING I said “Well- I will say
that everyone I’ve talked to personally about the ACA, hates it and claims that
the new regulations have screwed them over financially. I agree with that. So what is harder to find. Someone who really liked Gene Scott, or
somebody who believes Obama Care is the greatest thing since sliced bread? A part of me believes President Obama was so
desperate for “any kind of victory” that he was willing to pass the affordable
care act- - regardless as to how cumbersome or half baked the bill was- - or
that long term it was a crappy idea. In
the back of my mind is this fear that “Voting for Hillary is just like voting
for a third Obama term”.
Last night it was Eye
on LA and the Tom Vergeron’s very last program as host of America’s Funniest
Home Videos. I called Mom last night but
our conversations are taking on a predictable pattern, where Mom runs down the
same litany of complaints about her living situation. They are valid for sure, but it’s the same
routine. Now though she says she has to
take eight vitamin pills in the morning from Judy. Apparently all of Mom’s medications she used
to take at the Regency have been restored.
She still isn’t sleeping well.
She wakes not that long after midnight- - - and remains sleepless most
of the night. This isn’t due to any
out-gassing of the carpet, but rather the enormously stressful, and distressful
- - situation she’s in with other people having complete control over her
life. I have a taste of what that’s like
and I bear witness that it is no fun at all.
After this I watched “Once Upon a Time” with more spiteful women
obsessed with evil and revenge. That
whole plot line gets old after a while.
Someone should read the Bible in front of these people and introduce
them to a thing called Christianity.
Then it was a dash of AD. I haven’t
been following that series closely at all.
