But you are right about the discourse. The R one is on the side of complete lunacy. The D is probably similarly bad but at least the discourse is logical.<br />No way out it seems.<br />I agree that seeing the amount of imbecilic agresivity of an R activist, president or congressman , makes you puke. But still Albright said that directely provoking the death of half a million kids is " worth it" - if you get the oil fields which until now they didn't.<br />The D are just as bad. But they talk about brotherhood of man while exterminating those pesky kids. it makes no difference to me.<br />If Hillary "she didn\t find a war she didn\t like" talks about human rights while leading the new assyrian empire this does not make her better then Dubya who was more honest. They have to cover together all the spectrum of spectators so their discourse logically has to differ. <br />The part about granny was hmmm different I think. Even lies are better then the R. <br />It reminds me of a nice book "The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin".<br />The key to control the proles - Alexey |Tolstoy knew it some 100 years ago - is ethnic diversity. Multi ethnic society.<br />The US oligarchs today did exactly what Garin did on his island.<br />If ethnic groups are at each other throats well they can't unite against the oligarch to demand rights.<br />if you are white working class well going to vote is quite useless.<br />Rs hate you because you are working class and Ds because you are white and the simple fact you are still breathing is a shame for the country and planet.<br />Of course being wealthy buys you a pass from both parties.<br />It is just play and a good one. A multi ethic society just can't cope with this approach.<br />Interesting future.teonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-47607893419878792082012-06-28T07:48:41.237-07:002012-06-28T07:48:41.237-07:00Teo: My problem with the D's is that they lack...Teo: My problem with the D's is that they lack spine, guts, and a sense of purpose. Their hearts are (more often than not) in the right place, but they appear to lack the balls to act on their instincts.<br /><br />My problem with the R's, though, is that they have completely and utterly lost their fucking minds. And, in doing so, have so totally train-wrecked the political process that nothing worth doing is getting done. I should really do a post about the complete worthlessness - no, worse, the monstrous perniciousness - of 95% of what constitutes the GOP "political philosophy" today. From worthless foreign wars to Islamophobia to bible-banging to climate change to drill-baby-drill to Gilded Age economics to austerity to...<br /><br />I'm getting suicidal just listing that shit.<br /><br />So the GOP is orders of magnitude worse...but you're right in that all the current D's are going to bring us is a slower, less-immediately-painful slide further into oligarchy and inconsequence.<br /><br />As my old buddy Jim Struthers would have said, what a fuckin' fuckup of a fuckin' fuckstory.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-55855778748661965982012-06-25T07:02:42.265-07:002012-06-25T07:02:42.265-07:00I absolutely agree with your assessment of the Rep...I absolutely agree with your assessment of the Republicans.<br />But the Dems are the ones who interpret this images like in the description:<br />http://directorblue.blogspot.ro/2012/05/legacy-media-visual-style-guide.html<br /><br />So I suppose you'd better stay home on election day. Voting for the creators of this kind of imbecility who don't show a trace of shame is not an option to take lightly.<br />I would not worry instead of you. Both candidates are professional activists employed by the same corporate masters. The olygarchy is too well entrenched for anything to change. And voting for the Dems is exactely like voting for their apparent competitors.<br />Getting emotional is useless. Enjoy the "panem et circenses" and do not bother with them. They have got to earn a living also and this implies making a lot of noise for the proles.<br />I saw anyway that you might get lucky on another issue. You might get to enjoy the lynching of the aryan racist from the picture attached. Why would that make you happy is a mistery for me but it will happen.

My mother loved them in NYC when she was growing up. A great idea: freshly-brewed coffee, fresh food, dispensed via machines into which you would drop nickles and dimes.<br /><br />So apparently, an automated service could and did provide fresh food, as real people were working to prepare that food. Now we have factory farms and massed food production, "served" by real people.<br /><br />Interesting and non-beneficial to the average American flip.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839236994990699117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-58939509977364055972012-06-23T11:58:29.759-07:002012-06-23T11:58:29.759-07:00And Jim, if we're anything like Egypt, we'...And Jim, if we're anything like Egypt, we'd be packing the streets of major cities coast to coast with minimum 20 million citizens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-21451399846340982312012-06-23T11:56:17.568-07:002012-06-23T11:56:17.568-07:00Whatever happens, next January in 2013, we're ...Whatever happens, next January in 2013, we're getting the gov't we deserve.<br /><br />As far as the situation RE Obama sits, I still don't think he gets it.<br /><br />Caught from a commenter at FDL a couple of days ago.<br /><br /><b>Bluewombat on Obama:<br /><br />“…I don’t believe the fear of being called a hypocrite who is untrue to his stated ideals is one that keeps him ( Obama ) up at night.”<br /><br />Not considering the foot-long checklist of his sellouts.<br /><br />BTW, I’ve been crossing swords with Phoenixwoman lately, but a few days ago, she posted what is probably the most relevant…and saddest…comment about Barack Obama that has been written on here in many a moon:<br /><br />“A brave and principled stance can generate political capital like nothing else.”<br /><br />After what amounts to a landslide win in 2008, in the ensuing 3-and-a-half-years, we have yet to see anything remotely resembling that from this man.</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-87324585474396297562012-06-21T04:58:30.076-07:002012-06-21T04:58:30.076-07:00Chief,
