Dyed-in-the-wool racists

How could anyone prosecute those who killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001, of which 2,106 were U.S. citizens, and not prosecute those responsible for the mindless, senseless deaths of more than 4,200 U.S. military personnel and over 1.3 million Iraqis?

Only a dyed-in-the-wool racist could believe 2,106 Americans are of greater value than 1.3 million non-Americans.

Roland Burris fiasco

The Roland Burris fiasco reminded us that Harry Reid and the Democrats might not be the criminal, subversive, traitorous sociopaths the Republicans are, but they are just as oblivious and incompetent.

The attempt to convince the public that there are standards for members of the Senate proved to be ludicrous. The buffoons, who were fooled again and again and again by a retarded Texan into approving a criminal war of aggression, funding the decimation of a nation, abrogating our rights and plundering our treasury, set a very low bar for Senator qualifications. Now they tell us they are capable of solving the problem they helped create.

Those senators who were so quick to condemn a person who had not been convicted were subversive in their failure to abide by the Constitution and honor their oaths when they not only failed to remove the most criminal president in our history but abetted and funded his crimes. Those petty minds can grasp something minor and insignificant, but not massive crimes against humanity and civilization. As Joseph Stalin said, “Kill a man, it’s murder. Kill a million, it’s a mere statistic.”

The danger is not that Roland Burris is unfit for the Senate. Judging by those serving now, no one can be unfit. The danger is that Burris will be corrupted like all the others with the possible exceptions of Russ Feingold and Barbara Boxer.

Burris can’t degrade the Senate, but it can corrupt him. Let’s hope he introduces ethics and principles to that decayed, corrupt body.

The Capitulation Party

In 2001, the Republicans trotted out a bill they called the PATRIOT Act. They screamed that the sky is falling and we all were going to die unless the bill was approved immediately. The bill took away many of our rights and freedoms. The only danger was politicians unfit to be in office in a democratic nation.

In 2003, the Republicans claimed they had proof that an attack by Saddam Hussein using nuclear weapons was imminent, and if the Congress did not immediately approve the preemptive invasion of Iraq we all were going to die. Congress approved it overwhelmingly. There was no attack forthcoming from Iraq. There wasn't any danger except from our unfit politicians who sent 4230 military personnel to needless, senseless deaths and squandered hundreds of billions of tax dollars.

Now the Republicans have trotted out another scam and the Democrats are falling for it again. The Democrats will hold show hearings and act stern. Then they will capitulate again. There’s and old saying:

Fool me once,
Shame on you.
Fool me twice,
Shame on me.
Fool me thrice,
A fool I’ll always be.

A government of fools is a blachocracy, not a democracy.

Here we are saddled with eternal fools running our government and looting our treasury. We have a choice between two parties. It’s like a choice between cancer and tuberculosis. One party is the capitalist party, which believes property is everything and people are nothing. The other party is the capitulation party. Its role is to give the appearance of choice. It looks constantly for the farthest corner of the room where it can run and hide anytime someone says “boo.” How shameful it is to be an American in this century.
