Obama- his speech MOVED me

Obama- his speech MOVED me, goodbye conservatives

Photobucket

After listening to President Obama last night, I can no longer be a conservative anymore.

You might be tempted to ask how I can be a conservative for 30 years and just switch overnight..??

Simple...

I was “moved.”

President Obama “moved” me.

We SHOULD help those people who do not, or cannot help themselves..!!

Health Insurance

If a person has cancer, or if they need a heart transplant, or if they need a new gizzard. “We the people” should GET these poor souls a NEW gizzard.

(Well, when I say “we the people”, I do not mean that “you and I” should reach into OUR pockets and pay money for someone’s new gizzard. RICH people will buy this new gizzard for those who cannot afford it.) We will tax the RICH more money and buy new gizzards for everyone.

All of this got me thinking...

We could give people health insurance, but what good is the insurance if you do not have food..??

YOU COULD HAVE A BRAND NEW HEART AND GIZZARD, but without food...

You will die.

We need to get FREE food to everyone who needs it.

LET'S GIVE EVERYONE, EVEN PEOPLE WHO ARE RICH- Free food.

What is more basic to life than food..??

People are dying..!!

How can you be a cheap idiot who provides FREE health insurance, then you send the person off with NO freaking food..??

Photobucket

The government should just go after the BIG- rich people like: Halliburton and the Banks, and tax the hell out of them to get people FREE food.

You might say: “..AR, we already have Food Stamps and Welfare for the poor. Why do we need more FREE stuff..??”

That would be true. But we also have Medicaid and Medicare for the poor to get them the medical help that they need. You are missing the point that is being made by my NEW adopted party: The Democrats.

“We need to get more FREE stuff to people, because Americans are suffering.” People are dying..!! Don’t question it, you heartless bastard, just freaking do it.

Photobucket

I will probably NOT be taken seriously, I MUST prove my worth to the democrat party. I am here to help.

“What good is it to have the government buy a new heart, or gizzard, and stick it into a person; if they are going to eat crappy food AND DESTROY THAT NEW GIZZARD that we just paid for..??”

The responsible thing to do would be to protect our investment of new human organs.

Might I suggest “Food Police.”

Nothing big, maybe just 50 million people hired as the US Food Police. This would create NEW jobs.

We could dress the Food Police in some kind of uniform. Maybe brown shirts with some kind of fancy- official looking patch and badge. NO GUNS..!! The Food Police will carry night sticks and tasers. (Oh, wait. The left HATES tasers. Scrap that.)

The Food Police will check your house and see what kind of foods you are consuming. They will follow you to work and make sure that you are eating GOOD food. Foods like mangos and broccoli. Lots of veggies and fruits. Veggie burgers and tofurkey are fine to eat. (Tofurkey- a fake turkey made of tofu.)

Photobucket

The Food Police will keep you healthy so that “we the people” will not have to buy you a new gizzard, or a liver transplant.

However, what good is having a new heart, or gizzard transplant, and a belly full of food; if you have no place to call home..??

What is more basic than a home? It is the American dream..!!

People are dying..!!

I cannot believe that you sick bastards would give a person FREE health insurance, FREE food; but then toss them out into the street with no home..??

“We the people” should buy everyone a new home. A home that will last a lifetime..!! What better gift could we give?

(NOTE) when I say “we”, I do not mean “me.” I ain’t buying nothing. I mean “those people.” The RICH people should buy all of us new homes.

We should give everyone a FREE car.

What good is having a new heart, a full belly, and a nice new home; if you are stuck in that house and cannot go anywhere..??

Photobucket

OK, I realize that “some people” (those dam conservatives, cheap idiots) might suggest that people use mass transit and that the US government cannot afford to buy everyone a new car.

Brain- dead republicans..!!

Does the bus go anywhere near where YOU want to go? NO..!! Does the bus arrive at places when you need to be there? NO..??

Everyone should have a free car, and you should buy them one.

People are dying..!!

Photobucket

The world’s richest country SHOULD be able to provide it’s people with FOOD. Everyone should have FREE food. You will die without food.

The world’s “superpower” should give every American health insurance.

Every American should have a house.

Every American should have a FREE car.

What good is any of this stuff if you have no clothes..?? You cannot go out and do anything if you have no clothes. The government should buy everyone new clothes.

Photobucket

What good is a new FREE house if you have no appliances..?? You will need to cook the FREE government food? You will need to wash the FREE government clothes..??

If you have FREE government appliances, you will need FREE government electricity and gas to run these things.

WOW...

We are going to need a lot of RICH people in America to pay for all of this FREE government stuff.

What if there isn’t enough rich people in America to pay for all of this FREE stuff..?? Or what if the rich people leave America for lower tax rates somewhere else..??

Photobucket

I hope that the government doesn’t come after me for more tax money. I work hard and I sure as hell can’t afford higher taxes.

I don’t want to leave America..!!

I love this place..!!

But I can barely afford my needs and wants now. How can I pay for the needs and wants of others..??

This ticks me off..!!

Photobucket

I work hard. I have all my life.

I give to charities.

We already have Welfare and Food Stamps for people who are down on their luck.

We have Medicaid and Medicare for the poor people.

What about MY needs..??

Just because I work, I get no FREE stuff. I am punished with higher taxes for working.

But if I get fired from my job, I become eligible for FREE stuff..??

That makes a lot of freaking sense..??

What’s my incentive to get up and go to work every da...

Wait, what just happened here..??

I no longer feel “warm and fuzzy” from President Obama’s speech..??

I now feel angry.

I feel like an Angry Republican.

(So, that is how it all happened, all those years ago.)

Now I remember...

In the 1970's, when I was a liberal; I thought it would be GREAT to give people FREE stuff. Because, that would be the nice thing to do.

However, logic asks: when do you stop giving people FREE stuff?

You are going to give people free Health Insurance, but you are NOT going to give them free FOOD..?? What kind of sick human being are you..??

If you give people FREE food and FREE health insurance, wouldn’t you also want to give them a place to live? You cold bastard..!!

Where does it end..??

Photobucket

When does liberalism and progressive idealism end..??

When all of the RICH people, and all of the companies that provide JOBS, leaves America and there is no one left to pay for the FREE government services.

That is when it ends.

Keith Olbermann Fired? Must be a conspiracy

Photobucket

As a writer, I try very hard to “walk a mile in another man’s shoes.” It saves wear and tear on my shoes, and they last much longer.

(See, what I did there? You thought I was going to talk about integrity. My ability to see both sides of a story. Instead, I talked about how cheap I am.)

None the less, while I am wearing your shoes, (to save wearing out my shoes) I do catch a glimpse of what it must be like; TO BE YOU.

Photobucket

It’s gotta be tough to be a progressive right now. After all, it was those evil conservatives and their hate speech who caused that Arizona kid to kill people. AND WHICH TV HOST GETS FIRED?

Glenn Beck….No.
Photobucket

Rush Limbaugh…No.

Keith Olbermann…

Keith Olbermann gets fired..??

What the hell is going on in this crazy world? Those Neo-Cons are taking over, everywhere. This has got to have something to do with Comcast merging with NBC Universal. I bet you Comcast is in bed with those conservative Neo-con assholes. This is a conspiracy.

(OK, let me put my shoes back on, your shoes do not fit- RIGHT.)

If a progressive would have read my editorial that was published in November, 2010; when Olbermann was suspended, this new event wouldn’t be a shock to you.

In that editorial, I explain exactly why liberals should look for a new TV network to call home, and I talk about a possible network they could seek out.



Today, I wanted to talk about “WHY” Keith Olbermann was fired (or he quit, was let go, or mutual termination of a 4 year contract, etc. However they want to describe it.)

Photobucket

Many liberals might be tempted to blame the recent deal for Comcast to merge with NBC Universal; which operates MSNBC and CNBC.

To my knowledge, Comcast is neither a Right- nor Left leaning company. In my humble opinion, Comcast entered into this deal to pick up Universal. Think about all the Hollywood movies that have been made, which fall under the Universal banner. If you own an “On Demand” movie service, it might be nice to have a hand in Universal. And Comcast was probably interested in NBC, which could be a diamond in the rough. CNBC and MSNBC were just part of the package, and Comcast probably has no immediate plans for each.



How can I say this, why am I so sure that Comcast isn’t a Right-wing outfit, and why would you believe me?

Simple…

Look at the MSNBC lineup, after Keith Olbermann is gone:

5pm- Chris Matthews- (Same as it ever was)
If Comcast were a conservative outfit, you would see at least one conservative face in that crowd. Hell, with the addition of the “Young Turks”, I believe MSNBC is now leaning even MORE Left.

6pm- Cenk Uygur of the Web show "The Young Turks" will now take over this timeslot. Cenk is so progressive that he makes some liberals cringe.

7pm- Repeat of Chris Matthews (I think?)

8pm- Lawrence O’Donnell will take over the Keith Olbermann spot. In my opinion, O’Donnell is much more partisan than Olbermann ever was. He even called himself a socialist.

9pm- Rachel Maddow

10pm- Ed Shultz

No, this has nothing to do with the politics of Comcast. It has everything to do with the routing out of “troublesome” people.

Jeff Zucker, the “head cheese” of programming at NBC and MSNBC was also, along with Olbermann, let go from his duties. Zucker was behind the Conan O’Brian / Jay Leno mess which took place last year. Critics in the business have been very objective towards Zucker’s leadership, and many site Zucker as the reason for low rating at NBC’s networks.

Which leads us to why Keith Olbermann was fired (or had a mutual parting of ways with MSNBC.)



It is no secret that Olbermann fights with his bosses. He fought with management at ESPN, which caused his departure at that network. Keith walked out on his first job at MSNBC, and has had problems with MSNBC President- Phil Griffin, over the past few years.

Some companies and bosses, like GE and Jeff Zucker, are willing to tolerate a demanding individual, but Comcast isn’t willing to do this. They weeded out the two people that they felt that they would have problems with. (Zucker and Olbermann.)

Some people, like the web site- The Wrap (dotcom) believes Olbermann left MSNBC on his own accord to start his own web site; similar to The Huffington Post. If this were true, surely Keith Olbermann could have run a web site while still doing his TV show. Glenn Beck runs two web sites (Glenn Beck dotcom, and The Blaze) Beck does a 3 hour radio show, and a 1 hour TV show everyday, plus personal appearances.

Photobucket

Keith Olbermann isn’t a dumb guy, he should have been able to chew gum and walk at the same time? This, to me, is a cover story to explain why Olbermann left MSNBC, which helps soften his ego. But clearly, Olbermann saw the writing on the wall, and knew his time was limited.

Jeff Bercovici, a blogger at Forbes, completely disagrees with me. Jeff believes that Comcast is a conservative company, and Jeff lists a connection between Comcast and News Corp / Fox News. Jeff believes that Olbermann was fired solely because Comcast is a conservative outfit.

If this were true Jeff, why would Comcast keep Maddow? Or O’Donnell? Or add a show for The Young Turks? Wouldn’t Comcast stick at least ONE conservative host into MSNBC’s lineup?

John Gibson would LOVE to have a TV show again. Tucker Carlson is searching for a primetime show. There has to be at least two dozen conservative broadcasters who would jump at the chance to have a conservative show on MSNBC. If Comcast were a conservative company, who wanted to drastically change MSNBC, they would have waited until they had a few conservative shows developed, then they would have dropped two of the MSNBC liberal shows and added their conservative shows.



No, in my opinion; Comcast weeded out two people that they figured they would have problems with. (Keith and Zucker.) I believe that they have no immediate plans for MSNBC and will run it with the schedule listed above (for a while.) They are probably most interested in the Hollywood movies listed under Universal and the NBC network.

As far as a “link” between News Corp / Fox News and Comcast...

Sure, there is a link. Comcast is, after all; a cable TV provider, at its core. Comcast HAS to deal with News Corp because Murdoch operates, at least, 4 TV networks: Fox, Fox News, Fox business, FX. Comcast has a link between ABC Disney. Comcast has had a “link” and dealings with Ted Turner (who owns or used to own) TBS, Turner classic movies, CNN, Headline news, etc.

Being in the cable TV business; you are going to have “links” and ties with all of the networks that your cable outfit displays. To site just one “link” (Fox News) is dishonest. And to site ONE GUY who was fired from Comcast, who now claims that he was fired because Fox wanted him fired, because he spoke out about Bill O’Reilly; is just plain silly. My God, everyone at MSNBC would be fired if that were true. They all have spoken out about O’Reilly.

Keith Olbermann was fired (or given a “heads-up” that he should leave) because Comcast did not want to deal with his ugly business persona. It had nothing to do with Keith’s politics because Comcast is keeping all the other liberal hosts.

Photobucket

Will Comcast keep MSNBC a liberal network, over the long haul..??

I can’t say for sure. I believe Comcast will go after CNN in ratings. In the future, Comcast may drop any show that isn’t doing well against CNN, during a particular timeslot.

Photobucket

If I am right, and my first editorial on this subject is spot-on, then liberals need to find a new TV home. (And I list a few new TV homes at that editorial.)

If I am wrong, and Comcast is an evil conservative company bent on destroying the liberal paradise called: MSNBC; then progressives will need to find a new home.

Photobucket

Either way, MSNBC might not be a good place for progressives to call: HOME.

Darwinism, talking monkeys, the mud puddle of LIFE, and YOU must obey

A country where students can challenge the Constitution, students can question the wisdom of great American Presidents, and can openly rebuke religion, however they cannot challenge Global Warming or Darwinism; this country has definitely lost its way.

UPDATE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Founder of Greenpeace believes that Global Warming is natural- NOT man made. (Something that we have talked about for years, here on this web site.)

LINK- A GREAT story, from- The Blaze





Remember when a group of long- haired weirdo's began to question if the earth was the center of the known universe?

At the time, the popular belief was that Earth was the center of it all and the sun, the stars, and all the heavens moved around us.

These wild- eyed men claimed the earth was just another object flying around the sun.

Religion took the blame for this one. (Keeping mankind in the dark.) The blame is somewhat unjust, as it was religion that was paying for the research of Galileo and Copernicus- as a way of "finding God" through research.

Just 600 years ago, mankind believed the earth was flat. If you sailed out too far in the ocean, you would fall off the edge.

A few people believed the earth was round and they were willing to risk their lives to prove this theory.

In each case: When "popular belief" proves to be incorrect over time, there are "people" who have a vested interest in maintaining that false belief.

In the case of the earth being the center of the universe, religion is blamed because "God would have made the Earth important."

Keeping you from sailing across a "round" earth were Kingdoms that benefited from current trade routes across land. (Besides- you will fall off the earth if you sail out too far..!!)



Today- there are many people who benefit in the Global Warming Theory and Darwinism. They have a vested interest in maintaining this popular belief.

There is no room for wild eyed, longhaired scientists and philosophers to question Global Warming and Darwinism.

1,000 years ago- mankind KNEW the earth was the center of the universe.

600 years ago- mankind KNEW the earth was flat.

Today- mankind KNOWS life started in a bubbling mud puddle and a hand full of apes received "intelligence", while no other ape ever did? No other creature ever "evolved" intelligence.

Imagine what you will KNOW- tomorrow..??

I have no bones about giving a student a well-rounded education. However, the FORCED, (without challenge) education of Global Warming and Darwinism- has no place in a free society.

It borders on indoctrination.

A student…

A teacher- should have the right to question why one monkey gained intelligence, when the other monkey (from the same region) never did.



"If mankind is causing the earth to warm up, what caused the earth to warm up 19,000 years ago, when man was NOT burning fossil fuels?"

In America today, a teacher could be in trouble for questioning Darwinism or Global Warming.

Just like the flat-earthers from 600 years ago: "You must believe that you descended from a monkey, who was formed from a mud puddle. And you are causing the earth to warm up.

You cannot question it.

A teacher will be removed from pubic schools if they question the POWERFUL popular belief that a couple of monkeys gain intelligence.

A student will receive lower grades if they challenge the Global Warming Theory.

Just except it.

Because that is the way it is in the FREE United States.

Not so fast there, Bubba…

In the land of the free, there is still some freedom.



A force that Democrats will have to deal with in the future:

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed into law- The Louisiana Science Education Act.

This Act will allow Louisiana teachers to present contrary evidence against Global Warming, Darwinism, and many other "popular beliefs."

For the first time in a long time, students and teachers will be aloud to think outside the box.

A country where students can challenge the Constitution, students can question the wisdom of great American Presidents, and can openly rebuke religion, however they cannot challenge Global Warming or Darwinism; this country has definitely lost its way.

(Read that last paragraph again. It is so freaking ironic; it almost makes you laugh.)

This Louisiana Education Act is refreshing.
