This Friday morning September 7th is a day we progressives can look back and be proud of ourselves and gaze on the folly of the tea party people, because they can be counted on to get it wrong on every issue. You've heard that Paul Ryan is afraid to face reporters over Bill Clinton's charge of lying about cutting medicare. If Ryan can't face a reporter now over this simple issue, how is he going to fare against Joe Byden in the upcoming television debate? On the Mc Laughlin group they predicted quote "The unemployment rate come election day will be a lot closer to nine percent than eight percent". Rush Limbaugh predicted that Friday's unemployment report would ecclipse whatever President Obama said on Thursday night. Well as you know new unemployment claims dropped last month. 96,000 new jobs were added and the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1%. You'll remember the last time the unemployment rate figure hit 8.1% Mitt Romney called the figures "disasterous". For his campaign - maybe. Of course we have been "double dipped" to death with everyone and his dog predicting something that never happened. Even Thom Hartman fell into this "double dip recession" trap. I'll remind you once again that Dow Jones Industrials prices are the highest at 13,200 or so, that they have been since late 2007 when this recession was just peeping around the corner. Of course even I well know that we've only got two more shots at getting the unemployment rate before eight percent, which is what the experts have long said is needed for an Obama reelection.
Not to go Cosmic on you or anything but there is one act that almost in my mind required an "Act of God" to happen. This morning we were greeted with the additional news that the Mitt Romney campaign had pulled their many PAC adds out of Michigan and Pennsylvania. As you all know we were all deathly scared of Pennsylvania because the voter supression laws were passed. And when they got signed into law the Republican bosses patted themselves on the back and said "This passage will insure an election victory in our state by Mitt Romney". Now the Republicans have given up. Last night I was told some stuff by Mal Evans I wasn't going to even report. I said to nobody in particular, "In order for me to repeat that- - I want to see some kind of Sign that things are on the right path". This news is that Johnny Cash - - yeah him, has come out and endorsed President Obama over Mitt Romney and he says he made his decision while listening to last night's convention. "By eleven thirty I had made my decision" and Sirius A goes on Eastern Time as you may know, so 8:30 here. "I told Bones just before midnight of my decision". Just after "midnight" their time, Mal Evans told me that Johnny Cash was going to make an address pledging not only to support Obama but also to support Mal Evans and the Federation in a long proposed Invasion on the Sutterans - - - who are a group in the Cassiopian constelation. Mal Evans had already declared today a "national day of fasting" in honor of what happened on September 7th 1876 in a previous life where me and Johnny Cash were all contemporaries who were friends with each other. As you know in spring of 2006 the Federation broke off an attack on the Centaurians because they learned that the Centaurians even with all of their Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa connection - weren't the problem- - the Sutterans were. The Sutterans have always been a highly serpentine, mysterious group. Also another group "The Texas group" has disavowed the Tea Party. It's a little interesting that this year the Democrats are acting as if the state of Texas were in play putting up speakers such as Anne Richards' daughter, and Julian Castro. And there is all this talk about how progressive cities such as San Antonio and Austin have become. That's heartening news. Johnny Cash in the speech also echoed something I thought I heard Mike Meloy say - and I said it myself in 2005 in other words. He said "We must Never get to a state where we value Theological Belief over the Lives of people". As you know Stu Baby has been in contact with Johnny Cash for years but has kept his dialog with Cash "compartmentalized" and hasn't shared it.
What if the most recent History book was a hundred years ago? You'd be reading about the sinking of the Titanic in the last chapter as "one of the perils of these modern times". This is the era where they still referred to aircraft as "Aeroplanes". Teddy Roosevelt was highly esteemed and the hope of a history book then would be that never again would Corporations take over America in a monopolistic sense and we were entering a "Eutopian era" where every auto worker is guarenteed five dollars a day, which many said was a "Crime against the economy" because Henry Ford overpaying manual laborers by that much would throw the entire economy out of kilter, and right wingers have been saying it ever since. How they want to nationalize "Right To Work for Less" laws, as Hartman calls them, as national policy and also have a nation-wide ban on both abortion and gay marriage. Mike Meloy rattled off an alarming list as to just what is IN the Republican platform. I downloaded the thing yesterday but haven't read it yet. The Hippies liked the era from a hundred years ago. That was back in the good old days before drugs and immigration were illegal, when Coke still had coke in it. And where you could still buy Laudenum - - that opium - alcohol mixture that John Wayne used in that movie. Ah yes - - courage in a Bottle! It was the era of "Art Novae", I read that in a Time-Life book. But there was a veritable early 1900's musical invasion about 45 years ago and I've compiled rather an impressive list of songs. There was "Anything Goes" "Feeling Groovy" "Hello, Hello", "Acapulco Gold", "Winchester Cathedral", "Words of Love", "Lady Gediva", "Your Antie Gazelda", "Cool, Calm, Collected", "Snoopy verses the Red Barron" and "Where did Robinson Caruso Go with Friday on a Saturday Night", which even back then made me wonder whether there was some kind of a gay thing going on. Now here comes the punch line. The Christian Gospell text as we know it is- - - about a hundred years after the Messiah alias "The Annointed One" alledgedly went to the Cross to die for our sins. You know- - history research is a fascenating thing but don't look too hard- - you might not like what you find.
The President contained a lot of specifics so the FOX reporters are full of it if they say otherwise. I think the vision laid out by President Obama was pretty clear. President Obama stressed that he never is swayed by the polls but always what is right. If so then me and Mike Meloy would like to ask this President, "If that is so how can you endorse the coal industry where they blow the tops off of mountains and can't clean up the carsinogens? Why did you spend so little time talking about the ever with us ravages of Global Warming, which were it up to me I would have made a Keystone issue of this convention. If you never follow the polls how come you didn't Prosecute Bush, Chaney, and Rumsfeld for War Crimes and torture? And why in the name of God, was the whole issue of hate crimes and the polliferation of firearms utterly ignored by this convention. Mike Meloy and called God a "freaking bastard" last night. "Asshole" used to be my favorite word for God. But to get emotional over an Entity without emotion - - is only a waste of psychological energy. What we need to do now is t make sure that the tea party is not only defeated but utterly Disgraced- - - as bad as Goldwater and Miller were in 1964, which set up the whole liberal juggernaut of legislation. What struck me last night, maybe I'm weird- - - is that callers were saying to Mike Meloy that "We need to elect Mitt Romney because that will speed up the Revolution in coming. Where as if we reelect Obama this will only "slow the rush tword fascism" and so it will take longer for the people to "react" and the eventual Revolution to come. To me this is dangerous thinking- - - like running around propane canisters with a blow torch. Maybe Nero is destined to burn down the City- - - but I'm sure not going to light the match for him. We need to think positive thoughts and continue to pray and hope for the best interests of America. But most importantly the tea party should be rudely exposed as Un-American, and remnents of it should be ripped out by their roots. Do you not agree?
