Mean Spirit

These are, unfortunately, interesting times. These are, frankly, depressing (not recessing) times. The attacks on working people are completely out of the closet in every state in the union controlled by a republican governor and legislature. The attacks are mean-spirited and happening on dozens of fronts, purposely trying to exhaust us and thin the resistance to their grand plans to bankrupt the US and turn it into One Corporation, Under Some Malevolent God, With Liberty and Justice for None But the Rich.

And those attacks are well funded by the Koch brothers, the Bradley Foundation, and other right-wing operatives with dollar signs in their eyes, and greed and malevolence in their hearts.

That sucking sound you hear is a giant vacuum cleaner, cleaning out your pockets, your wallets, your bank accounts. Where is all that money going? Let's see...hmmm...it's being sucked up the chimney to the top 2% of the US population -- the uber rich, those who really need the money, after all.

The shopping list of the uber rich looks a lot like the following. (And you can check the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) web site (http://www.alec.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Model_Legislation1) for more items on their list.)

1. Break the unions (they have too much money to spend against us in elections)
2. Destroy the middleclass (they consume too many resources we want)
3. Kill the public schools (they educate the masses and that just causes more problems for us)
4. Rig the elections (gotta love those electronic machines!)
5. End government health care, social security, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance
6. End women's reproductive rights
7. Gut the environmental protections
8. Pack the courts with conservative/reactionary judges
9. Your items here......

If the poor, workingclass and middleclass don't stop believing Fox "News," Glenn Beck, the mega-church bigoted religious nutjobs, the National Enquirer and the National Review, I need to start looking for a new species to hang out with. Educate yourselves about local, state, national, and global political issues. Care about what happens to people who aren't exactly like you. VOTE! THINK FIRST. And confront those who are too cozy with money and power.

War on Workers in Wisconsin

It's the middle of February, barely 6 weeks after the right-wing puppet governor, Scott Walker, took over the State of Wisconsin. He, along with his anti-democratic, anti-worker Assembly Republikkkans, are taking orders from the obscenely wealthy Koch Brothers, a Kansas conglomerate that funds climate-change deniers, and anti-union candidates.

It's hard to convey the feelings that go along with uncovering the deeds of these "evil doers" (as G.W. Bush might say...), but it is important that we, the working people of this country, the front-line fighters in the war, get it together and stop these billionaires NOW. Before it's too late. Before the great experiment in democracy is but a brief paragraph in a textbook, written by our enemies.

You can start taking action right now by never buying these products, because buying them puts money into the hands of the Koch brothers, who will use it immediately against your very self interests. And thank you to the Silenced Majority Portal.
