Republicans Love Big Government

This is Wednesday March 9, 2016 after dinner. One thing I’m really phasing out on is politics.  I fell asleep during the Norman Goldman show because it’s all the same thing.  I’m really burnt out on politics and it wouldn’t kill these people to talk about something else for once.  Norman Goldman stated that Trump has 44% of the acquired delegates to this point.  But he can’t get a first ballot nomination at that rate.  But he won’t have to.  Marco Rubio is already fading away and did horribly last night.  In a two man race there seems no reason why one man can’t get fifty percent of the delegates.  Kasech did OK in Michigan but in general didn’t outright win any states.  But next week will tell the story, which is about all I’ll be able to take because I’ve had it with the endless repetitive monotony of it all.  There is a Republican debate on CNN but even if I can get it on computer I don’t know if it’s worth watching because it’s just going to be more of the same insults and stuff we’ve all had enough of.  Some say that Trump is from the racist authoritarian wing of the Republican Party.  There’s truth in that.  These are people- - little piggies- who want to be led around by the snout being dictated to what to think every step of the way.  But it’s this same authoritative wing of the Republican Party that won the 2014 election.  You had the fresh twin evils of ISIS and ebola erupting at the same time.  Both ISIS and terror in general and also Ebola showed that people with a strong authoritarian stance like Governor Christie do well.  They kind of combine like Islamic terrorist from Mexico crossing the border to spread Ebola.  We don’t have that same fixation on terrorism and certainly not Ebola that we had a year and a half ago and it will be a lot tougher to win.  I’m still kind of wondering what happened to Rand Paul because for a long time he was top of the pops, scoring the top of the CPAC polls.  They say they want “less government” but what they mean by “less government” is more corporate anarchy doing what they will, and also “less government” is a code word for stick it to be Blacks, the poor, the students, the disabeled and the labor unions.  But there certainly is nothing “small” about their plans to expand the military as Trump and Rubio and probably Cruz want to do, and certainly that border wall is not a “small” plan.  Rubio says he wants to continue to collect our metadata on our phones.  Judy explains that “This is because “they” make the government do that because they no longer allow racial and religious profiling any more.  I paused a moment to consider the worth of her words.  To me “profiling” in a generic sense requires a big government with a lot of muscle to back up their words.  Donald Trump and I both agree on massive funding to rebuild the crumbling infrastructure of sewer pipes and power plants and roads and bridges.  We’ve been putting off these needed big decisions since the days of Reagan.  Today corporate planners think in terms of the next six month profit and loss statement and the future be damned.  All they care about is their guaranteed golden parachutes and stick the hard work to the next guy.  After thirty years ago this crumbling infrastructure has gone beyond the crisis point/  Of course they won’t use “Big government” to actually regulate anything- - like the drug companies or corporate polluters.  You’d think we could agree on things like eliminating beaurocratic bloat and inefficiency.  But this Republican congress has sworn off any “concord” with the President.  And contrary to what Republicans allege, Democrats too prize individual effort and Bernie Sanders said the other day that a President cannot do everything but that this takes the cooperation of all citizens working together.  Obama has also touched on this theme of “working together”.  But the republicans are all about division and strife- - and whoever is the most powerful gets to be the Bully in Chief for the next four years, cracking heads and whipping people into conformity.   Which is kind of what they had in Bolshivick Russia.

Senator Bernie Sanders won the Michigan primary yesterday over rival Hillary Clinton 48% to 47% approximately.  All the polls showed Sanders down eighteen to twenty points to Hillary Clinton.  This to me looks like media bias in favor of Hillary in a lame attempt to discourage Sanders supporters from getting out to the polls and voting for him.  Sanders proved them wrong.  But the media also makes a big thing that due to Hillary's impressive, bordering on landslide win in Mississippi, that Hillary actually picked up more delegates yesterday.  Norman Goldman almost choked on his words admitting that the situation was far from the way people like he and other "liberals" have portrayed the situation.   If you want unbiased coverage of the Hillary and Clinton battle- - go to Shawn Hannity.  

 Thom Hartman has repeated that you’ll be banned from the message boards of his show if you come up with an anti Hillary statement.  “I know we believe in representative democracy and all but not on this program”.   Hartman is constantly in the position of running defense for Hillary despite the strident opinion of his caller base.  I had Bill Press on briefly.  The latest false charge is that somehow Bernie is sexist.  Thom Hartman continues to praise Hillary when she campaigns dirty with false accusation.  If she tries that with Trump he’s going to cut her to shreds.  Trump won’t let her get away with that bullshit like saying that Bernie Sanders is really against the auto bail-out of early 2009.   It’s the Republicans that filibustered the bill in the Senate that was approved and sent over by the House.  I was fed up with Thom Hartman in the morning. (which was Monday)  I went out for two cups of iced tea in the courtyard.  I had Rush Limbaugh on the rest of the morning.  It’s insanity for sure- - but I tolerate it better from him than coming from Hartman.  Interestingly Rush talked about censorship of the LA Times on the subject of global warming.  They will not accept letters to the editor that oppose the Global Warming idea.  This to me truly is censorship.  Twitter is doing the same thing censoring one side of an issue.  I think if something is to be a democratic forum the way liberals are always talking about, then both sides have to have free access in presenting their point of view.  None of that P C stuff.   

We’ve documented and proven that US “officials” outrageously lie to demonize Russia (and here) acting at the request of Syria’s government for military operations within their own borders against rogue terrorists. These terrorists apparently are agents of the US/UK/Israel illegal Wars of Aggression for empire (also here, here, here).

Immediate escalation of war on Syria might be our .01%’s desperate last move to avoid final defeat and arrests. Global polling proves this end is near: the US is recognized as Earth’s greatest threat to peace; voted three times more dangerous than any other country.

The data confirm this recognition:

• Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. The US started 201 of them (81%).
• These US-started armed attacks have killed ~30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working civilian women and men.
• The US has war-murdered more than Hitler’s Nazis.
• US official reports now confirm all “reasons” the US told for current armed attacks were known to be false as they were told.
• These lie-started US wars are not even close to lawful.
• US wars and rhetoric for more wars continue a long history of lie-began US Wars of Aggression. Themost decorated US Marine general in his day warned all Americans of this fact of lie-started wars for 1% plunder.

The categories of crime include:

1. Wars of Aggression (the worst crime a nation can commit).
2. Likely treason for lying to US military, ordering unlawful attack and invasions of foreign lands, and causing thousands of US military deaths.
3. Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing intentional policy of poverty that’s killed over 400 million human beings just since 1995 (~75% children; more deaths than from all wars in Earth’s recorded history).

Such crimes OBVIOUSLY call for legal arrests of “leaders” in government and corporate media (for “covering” those crimes with easily verified outrageous lies).

These crimes annually cost millions killed, billions harmed, and trillions looted, with recent history continuing literal centuries of US lie-began Wars of Aggression that involved your families in two horrific global wars for colonial empire.

An arrest lawfully stops a crime in commission. We do this to stop public harm now, and avoid further harm from more criminal acts.

If critical mass of humanity do not demand arrests, millions more will be war-murdered; despite ongoing ridiculous Emperor’s New Clothes lies and crimes.

Can any human being call oneself an “educated adult” with failure to recognize and act upon arguably the one most important law: that trillions-funded massive military never ever ever ever attack unless underclearly defined “self-defense”?  Can any human being call oneself “loving” to not energize thoughts, words, and actions for logically a first and OBVIOUS response: demanding lawful arrests of those organized war-murderers?  Can any human being call oneself a “responsible citizen” to not call corporate media as liars and complicit War Criminals in failure to call these lie-started and illegal Wars of Aggression?
