MAX BAUCUS WANTS TO BE REPUBLICAN' S FACEBOOK FRIEND

With great men and women like Andrew Jackson. Harry Truman and Shirley Chisolm blazing trails of courage and conviction for the Democratic Party throughout our history, I figured Senator Max Baucus would take the cue and fight for single payer universal health insurance. At the very least he would fight for a public option to keep the fat cat insurance companies honest. That's what Democrats are supposed to do. Fight for the little guys.

Apparently his panties tightened around his minute testicles because he fought for neither. He even voted against the public option because he thought it would make republicans not like him. Like they are going to vote for anything that might put a dent in insurance company profits.

Max Baucus showed his hand and his lips. His hands steady himself on the collective ass of the insurance lobby and the republican party that protects it while his lips are placed firmly and passionately between the cheeks.

On a side note, my good friend, Bluepitbull, has removed himself from the list of Truth Shall Rule Followers. I see his strength of conviction wavered under the power of the mean and scary Right is Right lady. Going to miss you Blue. But at least you can say you have something in common with a senator.

A RIDICULOUS FISH DESERVES AN EQUALLY RIDICULOUS RESPONSE

The fine right leaning blogger, Land Shark 5150, Had such a ridiculous post I not only had to comment on his site, but due to his comment moderation policy, I figured I'd put my comment here so the masses wouldn't have to wait :







Why do you think President Obama and I want the death panels Sarah Palin warns of Land Shark. The old and weak will vote for people that espouse the silliness you propagandize. That leaves us children that we can indoctrinate with our messages of national health care and weakening of the military. To balance the budget we plan on selling nuclear weapons to Iran and North Korea. We shall lobby the Chinese to allow Halliburton to maintain and operate tourism functions at The Great Wall.
Abortion on demand will be the law of the land even after birth. this is just in case our indoctrination efforts fail and the reeducation facility at Guantanamo Bay isn't ready yet.
Don't even think about gun rights because as you read this our scientists are inventing a special satellite ray gun that will render bullets useless.
All pictures of President Reagan shall be desecrated and any images of our Dear Leaders, President Obama and Kim Jung Il shall be permitted to be displayed.





Okay. The secret's out. Say goodbye to your children.

THE REAL GOVERNMENT WELFARE WHORES

It is an amazing coincidence that so many of the right leaning bloggers that have visited TSR since it's inception are Veterans. They rightfully display this on their user profiles and mention it at every opportunity. They certainly would not tolerate disrespect for the service of any Veteran and I join them in their crusade to persecute disrespectors of Veterans.











Yet they turned their backs on fellow Veteran and legitimate Vietnam War Hero John Kerry in favor of Former President Bush, who defended the skies of Georgia and Texas quite ably I guess. They weren't attacked while he was awol from the National Guard. They still love he of the five deferments because he had better things to do than military service Dick Cheney.











What's just as odd, so many of the right leaning, Veteran loving all American patriot bloggers have been bashing President John F. Kennedy for asking Americans to ask what they could do for their country. One of the great ironies of this is JFK started his famous quote with "Ask not what your country can do for you." As endearing as this phrase should be to all who espouse the virtues of limited government and despising of those who would leech off government, the righties conveniently forget this part.







They even forget that JFK was also a legitimate Hero from WWII. That two of his brothers died for our Nation also.










The right has learned to overcome it's hypocrisy in the world of public opinion by employing spokesmen and unsuspecting, deluded, albeit well meaning I'm sure, bloggers to write and shout meaningless phrases and words like "socialism" throughout the web and news media so the weak minded will overlook their true motives. Greed and lust for power.










The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a notorious right leaning group. It make a goal of donating over 60 million dollars to it's favored candidates. But for all their talk of limited government, almost all of them demand government assistance for their businesses. A tax break. A grant. A regulation suspending. A zoning variance. As soon as the member gets all this, then he can go back to complaining about government welfare for lazy single mothers or lazy single fathers who's employers don't offer health insurance so we have more waifs on public aid. But God forbid a public insurance option to help employers and employees buy affordable health insurance become law. Business is okay with taking tax dollars and getting reduced utilities and the like from government. But how dare the government help others get health insurance. The wealthy are the ones that deserve public aid. If they don't get it, they're prepared to blackmail till they do. If you don't believe this, don't worry. Before long your local paper will have a story about a local business threatening to leave town if it doesn't get a tax break or a government contract. Or a business that says it will or would have come to your town if it got a tax break and other government incentives.

WHY DO HETEROSEXUAL WHITE CONSERVATIVES LIKE SCREWING BLACK MEN?

Professional football player, Plaxico Burress, was just sentenced to two years in prison for carrying an unlicensed gun and accidentally shooting himself.

Of course, the righties will insist he got what he deserved. "He broke the law, dammit!"

But I wonder if Mr. Burris was white if they would be saying the same thing? They will deny that of course. But before long, the news story of the day will change and outrage will be directed elsewhere. Like at one of the popular Tea Partys. You know. The ones where some 2ND. Amendment loving guy demands freedom to own and carry a gun. The one that says President Obama and liberal America haters like Truth 101 want to take our weapons and do background checks and make gun show vendors find out if the person they're selling a gun to is sane and not a felon.

I'm sorry folks. I know New York has tough gun laws and Mr. Burris is paying the price for an act of really stupid judgement. But I can't help but ask where are all the gun rights advocates demanding Mr. Burris be freed because the 2ND. Amendment takes precedence over any law made by a state?

Look once again at the picture of Plaxico Burris and I think you will have the answer.

BREAD AND CIRCUSES

The one thing we demand above all else is entertainment.

Our TV sitcoms and dramas have to be entertaining or they don't last long. Ones that are enable their stars to get huge salaries from the networks and we don't care because we're entertained. Besides, that's capitalism baby.

News networks understand this all too well now. Especially FOX. Their lineup is loaded with hot babes. The Weather Channel has some fine looking ladies as well. A high pressure system over the Midwest is pretty boring unless the hot chick telling us about it is wearing a tight top she's libel to pop out of any moment. Less government and low taxes aren't that interesting to the masses unless Sean Hannity has one of the Hot Blonde "FOXES" sitting next to him nodding in nubile agreement.

Face it. President Clinton would have bored us despite is brilliance and analytical attention to policy no matter how minor had it not been for his peccadillo's. The Right looks forward to the next photoshop of President Obama in some despicable and distasteful manner so they can giggle at our Democrat President being portrayed in a despicable and distasteful manner. Vengeance is entertaining also. I figure the righties are gleeful about this because of the Left's many disparaging images and remarks about President Bush.

One of the ingredients to a good entertaining thing is to have a villain. If there isn't one, the right is excellent at creating one. My old favorite was the "secular humanist liberal" that I think Jimmy Swaggert invented and Bill O'Reilly hijacked and built an empire on hating this character that to this day, I have yet to actually meet. Swaggert had an entire belief system for this fictional guy. My former nemesis until he banned me for spreading truth and wisdom at his blog, Professor Donald Douglas of American Power, called those of us who expose his deluded right wing views, "NIHILISTS."

The righties are also very emotional. They not only demand entertainment. They demand to be angered. Rush Limbaugh makes them angry and makes them laugh. Glen Beck makes them angry and makes them cry. A sane person would be angry that his time was wasted listening to these two when he could have been watching an old episode of The Beverly Hillbillies. The deluded cry because Beck is warning them about our Nation turning to socialism while his deluded supporters go to Tea Parties demanding government not touch Social Security or Medicare.

When it's all said and done. When health insurance reform has become so bogged down with bullshit that nothing happens. The insurance companies and HMO's still hold us hostage. When our Troops are still in Iraq and Afghanistan and no end in sight to these occupations. When our deficit balloons to twenty trillion because despite whatever rhetoric our elected officials spew, they have neither the balls to raise taxes or cut spending, there will still be something on your Chinese built TV to watch.

TRUTH 101 CARRIES ON LINCOLN'S LEGACY

A fellow blogger questioned my substance recently. This both amused and slightly irritated me because although I don't take myself or my site too seriously, I do speak from the heart whether it's a full blown post or a short comment.

Abe Lincoln and I shared the view that we didn't like work. We like laughing. Cracking jokes and having a good time.

The comment I made referred to the republican strategy of appealing to bigots. Homophobes and idiots. I gave examples of these actions after the blogger questioned my substance. I would have given them originally but I figured everyone heard of Willie Horton. Heard the bullshit about "death panels." Seen the photo shop of President Obama made to appear as a witch doctor and other examples.

The right wing mouthpiece, FOX News, is in on the game as well. Talking Points Memo has video of their people egging on fools at a tea party or something to get them to act like silly right wing loudmouth fools.

The simple fact is that Bush did so much damage to the republican party that all it has to try to regain some semblance of relevance is to attack, lie and mislead.

If you're offended by this I don't really care. The Democrats have problems of their own. Baucus' health insurance bill sucks. He spent all this time pandering so republicans would support his bill. How he thought republicans would support anything that may have the potential to eat away profits of insurance and drug companies doesn't say much for this guy's intellect. So this will drag on. They couldn't even take the easy step to allow bargaining with out of state insurance carriers. But this would screw HMO's out of profits if customers had insurance they could use with any doctor. Not just the ones in the network. Somehow republicans will twist themselves into believing this is a good example of freedom.

So Truth 101 is honest. Likes to laugh and tell jokes. And hates to work. Just like old Honest Abe.

SPORTSMANSHIP? WE DON'T WANT NO STINKIN SPORTSMANSHIP

Now that the hullabaloo has subsided a bit, I don't have a problem with Serena Williams going off on the line judge at the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament.

If you're serious about any activity and you don't get pissed at bad calls or your own mental errors, you're not really serious.

We all tell our kids to work hard and play harder. Our kids knocks hell out of the other kid with a tackle or a hard slide we cheer and give him/her a high five. They spike the ball over the volleyball net for the kill and we're all as proud as can be.

We want them to be winners on the field and in life. But here is a supremely talented lady who works as hard as anyone to be the best at her sport and the same people that demand hard work and intensity vilify her for getting pissed at a bad call when she's withing two points of being knocked out of her sports biggest tournament.

For whatever reason the crowd was for her opponent and against Serena. Her opponent had a warm story and certainly deserved to win the match and the tournament. But Serena is fighting her opponent. A crowd made up of her fellow Americans. And a bad call. I don't blame her a bit for going off. I've blown my stack when the situation was a thousand times, hell, infinitely less important and prestigious than what Serena faced.

Many will still say what a bad sport or unclassy Serena Williams was. I saw an intensely driven athlete and a fellow American showing great emotion. That showed me she cared. I wasn't big on Serena Williams one way or another before. I always rooted for her sister Venus. But now I am a Serena fan.

"LIE"RAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

Watching the Bears/Packers game last night reminded me of something years ago. I was watching the Bears/Packers then also when the phone rang. It was a lady on the other end asking if I wanted to adopt an orphan. I said no and she asked if I couldn't do that would I be willing to help some other way. She then said her organization bought duffel bags for orphans to pack their stuff in when moving from one foster home to another. Feeling guilty for not wanting to adopt an orphan I said sure. I'll give $20. The lady said a representative would be over in thirty minutes to pick up my donation.

After hanging up I came to my senses and thought what the hell kind of crap is this? Duffel bags for orphans. I seethed about this while waiting for the scumbag that was coming to pick up my donation. I told my wife I would throw him off the property and tell him to take his bogus duffel bag and shove it. The door bell rang and I opened the door locked and loaded to kick somebody's ass until I saw the representative looked like Andre the Giant only pissed off. I did what anyone of sane mind would do. I gave him $20 and thanked him for his service to orphans.

And just like I was sold a bill of goods about orphans and duffel bags, America has been played for the suckers we are with the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

We were told how dangerous and threatening they were. But to soften the blow, taxes weren't raised to pay for these operations. Let's make this palatable by not having this generation pay for this unpleasantness. Deficits don't matter.

Of all the bullshit we've been fed, the biggest piles are how each succeeding general was sold to us. From Franks to Petraeus. And I forgot how many others and I can't spell the current generals name and don't feel like looking for it. They were all the "right man for the job." This general will get things done they said. Greatest general since Alexander.

We all felt better. I still wonder to this day, if the latest reincarnation of Patton is so wonderful, why wasn't he put in charge in the first place?

The answer of course is our government is full of lying, sniveling dicks who would rather see more young men and women die than admit their own stupidity and arrogance.

We ask much from those who choose to serve in the military. I saw the Captain leading his outfit through an Afghan village the other night. He had to kiss up to the locals who in return kissed up to him. The locals asked how the war was going. The Captain said "we're winning." The locals said "we're on your side." The sad part is just a few short hours after he left Taliban assholes came to the village and kissed up and in return were kissed up. The Taliban guy said they were winning. The locals said "Good. We're on your side."They got information they could use to kill our Guys. They probably scored a recruit or two.

Look at this without the patriotic, all American blinders on and it makes sense. A squad of American Soldiers comes to the village looking suspicious. They ran off the Taliban. Pricks, yes indeed. But they were Afghan pricks who shared the same religion and were misogynist assholes like the village elders. Now here comes a squad of Taliban. They speak the language. They encourage you to grow opium. You play ball with them and you don't get your ears cut off.

There is nothing there worth the lives of any more of our Soldiers. Karzai is a pathetic piece of crap and he's the best friend we have there.

And all the while our Troops are being played by two faced bastards, the world is playing us also. While our treasury is being drained, China and Russia are laughing. Nations that trade with us know this is distracting us from reforming the health insurance system so American Business is relieved from the burden of employee health care. They know that is a cost advantage they have. They don't want us to have that. Jobs might leave China and India and come back here.

The old saying goes, "Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me."

The world is burning us and we keep pouring lighter fluid on ourselves.

THOUSANDS OF ANGRY TEA BAGGERS GATHER TO DEMAND GOVERNMENT DO SOMETHING ABOUT BIG GOVERNMENT

Tea baggers gathered in my hometown and towns and cities across the Nation in taxpayer funded parks. With security provided by taxpayer funded police. All to listen to taxpayer paid republican elected officials tell them there's too much government.

The right wing pundits that got speaking gigs at these things praised the efforts of the taxpayer paid republican lawmakers that have been working to shrink government since they signed Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" calling for term limits 15 years ago.

Groups of senior citizens baked cookies and demanded government should stay out of the health care business and don't mess with their Medicare and Social Security.

One unemployed guy raged that he couldn't afford to get a job because his taxes would be too high.

During open mike time several morons warned against "Obama's death panels" and not one person out of the thousands disrespectfully shouted "You lie!"

We will have more on this as the lunacy continues.

9/1/1 NO POST TODAY.

ANDREW BREITBART HAS THE RIGHT MOTHER FUCKING SPIRIT!

My hometown's exciting new online news organization, Quincy News.Org. has been plugging a Tea Party to be held in one of our fine taxpayer funded parks this weekend. The theme is "Spirit of America."

The headline speaker is a blogger and commentator named Andrew Breitbart. This is the same same Breitbart who patriotically called Senator Ted Kennedy a "mother fucker."

I was outraged at first. I thought how could this jive turkey be a headliner of anything. I never even heard of him till a month ago. From what I've seen, his only shots at glory are when one of the higher up deluded right wing fools are too busy to appear on FOX News so he gets to pinch hit and deliver the banal right wing talking points.

Given my well known sense of fair play and turning adversity into opportunity, I thought about Andrew Breitbart and other mother fuckers in general. Then it occurred to me that as a Nation, we once were a bad mother fucker.

We went over and kicked hell out of the mother fucking Germans twice. Kicked hell out of the mother fucking Japanese as well. That was back in the day when they were mother fuckers.

Breitbart waited until Senator Kennedy was dead before calling him a mother fucker. That was mother fucking sissified if you ask me.

We outlasted the mother fucking Soviets in the Cold War. Bombed that mother fucker Kadhaffi into behaving himself.

Our mother fuckerness ended with the Bush II Administration. That mother fucker Bin Laden was behind 911 and he's still free as a mother fucker. Invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and those two places are still a mother fucker for us.

The stock market crashed like a mother fucker so we had to spend billions to keep from going into a depression. The Fed got mother fucked by a bunch of right wing nuts who would have rather had a 60 trillion dollar world wide collapse than spend 700 billion to avoid it.

A bunch of deluded fools that demanded we respect President Bush because we were "at war" disrespected President Obama and demanded that our school kids not listen to him say work hard. Stay in school. Make your country better and listen to your teachers and parents. Maybe they were afraid he would say "mother fucker."

You know Mr. Breitbart. You're pretty much the typical right wing asshole that is good at stirring up some bigots, homophobes and idiots, but I thank you for reminding us of the mess left by the Bush Administration. I'm glad President Obama is here to clean this mother fucker up.

TEA PARTY 101

Because the deluded fools will always be among us, it is only natural that the unscrupulous would learn to exploit them to their own selfish ends.



Although this has been going on a long time with defacto Republican Party leader, Rush Limbaugh, the effort to control the minds of the deluded fools is at it's most active ever with creeps like Glenn Beck pushing their message of hate on the deluded hoards.



After listening to the brainwashing bullshit spewed by the Becks and Limbaughs and Professor Donald Douglases, the deluded then begin repeating the same nonsense about pinkos and socialism to whomever happens to be unfortunate enough to be near them. The poor deluded fools believe they are speaking intelligently and pretend to be informed when in fact, they are only repeating what their subliminal masters have programmed them to think and say.



These poor deluded, brainwashed fools seek each other out so they can congratulate one another on how good they call progressive thinking, informed, intelligent, caring Americans like yours truly, "commie, pinko liberals."


Eventually, right wing media brainwashes these poor deluded fools into attending a large gathering of fellow deluded right wing fools. They call these events "Tea Parties."

GAYS WILL HAVE BETTER HEALTH CARE IF WE DON'T GET NATIONAL HEALTH CARE SOON

The health care bill is most likely dying a slow death. Not so much because of the bills flaws though. You see friends, success is more about selling an idea than the idea itself.

From my years in sales I noticed a common theme. Idiots were the easiest sales. They usually had bad credit also. Notice how many car sales ads are directed at people with zero or lousy credit if you think I'm full of it.

Look now at who the Republican party tailors it's message to. Bigots. Homophobes and idiots.

If you doubt this, then ask Republicans why they want marriage between people of the same sex illegal. Ask Republicans what the hell was so funny about the parody song, "Barack the Magic Negro."

This is the new base of the Republican Party. Don't be offended rich Republicans. You're still the backbone with your fat wallets. You're still in charge so don't worry. It's the easily swayed by subliminal and outright bigoted messages that provide the big numbers of votes you need and good crowds at your bogus "Tea Parties."

Sarah Palin is the puppet leader of the disenfranchised idiot brigade. She sways these nuts with ridiculous accusations of socialism and destruction of America and whatever else her masters can come up with. That these people are railing against a program that is in their own interests shows how easily idiots are influenced.

It's time the Progressives also made a play for the idiot vote. If nothing else, to save them from themselves. It's time to brand right wing obstructionism as some pinko commie plot. Do a few whisper ads intimating Muslims hate national health care. Spread the word that the Gay Community has it's own group health insurance and the only way to keep them from being healthier than the rest of us is with a national health insurance plan.

If you still think this won't work or that I'm full of shit then look at this evenings paper. I dare you to find a sales ad asking intelligent people with good credit and health insurance to come in for a better deal.

BLASPHEMOUS RACISM 101!

You know? Despite all the anger and hate going around. Despite our differences in the role of government. I still have to admit this picture is pretty funny.



Officially though, I am outraged at this blatant racist and blasphemous insult at our President.
