Winning Must Be The Ultimate Goal, Nobody Remembers the Losers

They were wrong. Living by Republican ideals, I outlasted them. I ran those socialists off their "benefit everyone gardens" and took the food myself. Exposure, starvation, disease, they deserved no protection from any of it. I put a stop to their Democratic cooperation and defeated them. I won, I'm the last person on Earth...

(X) = ?

(X) is an authoritarian nationalist ideology focused on solving economic, political, and social problems that its supporters see as causing national decline or decadence. (X)ists aim to create a single-party state in which the government is led by a dictator who seeks unity by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation or a race. (X)ist movements promote violent conflict between nations, political factions, and races as part of a social Darwinist view that conflict between these groups is natural and a part of evolution.

(X)ist governments permanently forbid and suppress all criticism and opposition to the government and the (X)ist movement. (X)ist movements oppose any ideology or political system that gives direct political power to people as individuals rather than as a collective through the state (democracy, individualism, liberalism); that is deemed detrimental to national identity and unity (class conflict, communism, internationalism, laissez-faire capitalism); that protects and enhances the power of "weak" or disobedient people rather than promoting "strong" and obedient people (egalitarianism); that may oppose major changes to institutions and cultural values that it proposes (conservatism) and that undermine the military strength and military ambitions of the nation (pacifism).

Sound like the Bush administration? Other than the laissez-faire capitalism, it does to me.
This is an edited version of Wikipedia's first 2 paragraphs on Fascism.

I'm going out on a limb here, since I'm sick of hearing Republicans constantly using the word Socialism when it comes to taking care of Americans; in reality what it should be called is Egalitarianism, something that is built into the Constitution of the United States of America (leave it up to some moronic Right-winger to not know what the hell he's talking about.) I urge you to return the favor and call their policies Fascism.

YAAAAY! No More Bush/Cheney!

By this time (I'm writing this Sunday 1-18-2009 ~4:05 PM), Mr Obama is now Mr President, and GW Bush and DICK Cheney have been removed from head of the US Administrative Branch. I say "Welcome Mr President, may God's right hand guide you to lead as a real leader should."

To the former Prez and his puppet-master, I say "May karma come to you for all the wrong you have done."

To everyone in America, I say "May we never forget how we have been betrayed by the bait-and-switch spawns of Hell, GWB and DC."

55 Flash Fiction - New Day Coming

The desk was clean and neat, the office spacious enough, matters at hand would be handled efficiently.

Hand picked staff, some of the best that could be had, dedicated to the work, would handle the details of things.

There was a lot to be accomplished, to fix things left shambled.

Day one, a new president.

More Lying from the Administration

Well it would appear that the present administration has been/is once again LYING TO US. The reports are in from our own National Intelligence Council, and you can read the copy referenced below. This has been declassified, and is available to the public (I got this copy from a link on the BBC News site.)

So why is GW continously using the words "World War III?"

Where's Waldo, uh, Osama?

Not behind a tree, not down the block.
Can't find him in the country,
perhaps beneath a rock.
In a cave or a valley,
'tween Iraq and some 'istan.
Terrorism in the heart, you were supposed to pursue the terrible man.
Son of your family's friends, your business buds,
Six years late: George, Where's Osama?

Georgy Porgy

Georgy Porgy, pudding and pie,
Kissed the world and made us die.
When the boys fell down to lay,
Georgy Porgy ran away.

COME OUT TO PLAY
Girls and boys, come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day;
Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows into the street.
Come with a whoop, come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A half-penny roll will serve us all.
You find milk, and I’ll find flour,
We could be dead in half an hour.

Hmm. After having done this, it seems it might make a good tag, so to anyone desiring to, here it is: Rewrite a Mothergoose Nursery Rhyme, hundreds may be found at www.mothergoose.com. Extra points for double entendres.

Jesus was a Liberal!

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Amen.

Gas, The Price of Gas, Gas for Us All.

Yesterday, I filled my gas tank. Ouch. The price of gas is getting ridiculous. Since Mr. GWB has been in office, the price has risen the better part of double. Funny observation on my part, it did the same thing when his dad was in office. And then for some eight years, it was lower. Mmmm, let me think about this a little...
We hear things like "the reason is there is a refinery is closed down for maintenance." What, you mean when Mr. C was in office, there wasn't any maintenance? For eight years? Sounds to me like the gas we are paying for is actually getting us more gas for the same money. We get the petrol in our vehicles, and we get a bunch of gas from a bunch of gas bags. Mr. B has financial interests in the energy market, he and many of his cronies, as did his dad. When his term runs out and prices settle down as I am certain they will, I'd love to hear of a commission being formed to investigate why. Meanwhile, I think we are getting gas from him and his, but I think its because they are upwind and passing gas, since they obviously have no respect for us.
I bought the gas yesterday, after seeing the prices the day before. The lowest price I saw Friday was 2.53/gal. in Hillsborough County, and was headed to my friends' home in Pasco County where gas is usually about 3 to 4cent/gal lower. Well, it was actually higher in Pasco and I hesitated to buy. While there, I had totally had too much to drink and drive home so I stayed the night on their sofa, so yesterday Court and I went looking at a couple of car audio stores, and he bought some new speakers for his car. We spent the better part of Saturday installing the speakers and an amplifier he already owned. Now it was Saturday night and I needed to get home. Joking, I commented, "I wonder how much gas has gone up since Friday," and soon found out. The prices had jumped 2cent/gal. in just a day. Since I knew there was at least one place that had been cheaper Friday, I drove with my gauge reading E. I lucked out, after passing a couple of signs with prices of 2.66 & 2.67/gal, I finally got to a station with regular 87 octane @ 2.529/gal., a cent less than I had seen before. Its still ridiculous.
Please don't get me wrong, I know we here in the US pay less than anywhere else probably in the world. Of course, we spearheaded the petroleum industry, and our businesses found much of the world's reserves investing a lot of American money to develop them, when the indigenous peoples were unaware of what was there. It provided a better standard of living for them, and now we suspect that those very same people are financing terrorism against us. Unfortunately, we and many others need that petroleum, and have made them aware of our existence, and they would otherwise likely have been oblivious of us. Darn it, we lose again.
Now we are being told that Hurricane Katrina could cause a 20 percent increase in the price of gas, since New Orleans is responsible for some 25 percent of our petroleum processing, even into winter. Gee, a literal windfall of profits. Less product, more money for it. If only I were so lucky, I'd love to get more money for less work. Instead, I seem to experience the opposite, I'm expected to produce more work, for less money. Where's the justice?

We dont need no shtinking Intelligence

Thinkers? We don't need no shtinking thinkers. Intelligence? We don't need no shtinking intelligence. Wait, that's a double negative. We don't need no shtinking telligence.

So goes the wisdom of some, in the ignorance of their own thoughts. We, as a society, need thinkers and intelligence more than ever. Thinkers and intelligence is all we have to prevent society from being lead down the path of destruction. The manipulators and selfish are the enemies of society, the deceivers of the lazy. We must be ever vigilent and question actions we are told that are necessary, and forever doubt the motives of those who would lead us to such self destructive ends. We must forever protect the rights that our founding fathers wished for society, no matter what we may be told otherwise. We must perform our due diligence to those things that are really important for society as a whole and quit paying attention to things that will not affect our children's futures like sports.

Sports are meant to be participated in, not watched, not studied like the stock market. Whether or not Joe Blow hits, runs, throws, catches or jumps more than anyone else has does not have any bearing on the direction of the country. Its all fluff, presented to keep minds off of the wrongs being performed by those who would take your very life if it meant they could pocket a few more cents for whatever they have an investment in.

They, who have no qualms telling us this, whatever this may be, is wrong, while doing it -and worse- themselves. Those who would take your job, because they can have someone do it for less elsewhere, and try to tell you that it is good for the company, so its good for the country. Well, tell that to the people who are working and not making enough to feed their children properly, because their job went elsewhere. Tell it to those who lose their homes. Tell it to the ones who are dying because they can't afford health care. And tell it to the ones who did it when the investments are seized by governments, when it happens. It will happen. And when the world's economy goes belly up, tell it to everyone.

Give in to fear, and fear forever. Don't give 'em an inch, because we all know what they'll take. Remain vigilent, remain free.
