PROGRESS OR BIG BROTHER?

What's with The Gestapo tactics? What next a police state!

I understand things need to be tried, I mean a century of tokens, it's hard to just rid ourselves of old habits. And I know metrocards are pretty new. And even newer are these machines, these 'Select Bus Service Station's (as it called on www.nyc.gov website, on its +BusRapidTransit page),  sitting near the bus stop. You need to now use,m in order to ride the 'select' MTA buses in certain sections in New York. 

Instead of using your card to board the bus, you must insert the metro card into a pseudo ATM, it hopefully returns the card, removing the fee from it and then hopefully spits out a receipt. Which without it you are screwed.

Fine, so now taking the bus has turned into a tram ride at Disneyland. Great! Except now it seems we have check points. Where uniformed patrols enter as they did the other day, on my long journey into Manhattan. Three uniformed men, entered the bus, preceded to do a head count, sizing up the passengers and then one by one, or in the case of this day's once over, a second 'officer' looked over my receipt to prove we didn't sneak on the bus. I don't mind so much the once over, I do although not enjoy being looked upon like a criminal until proven innocent!

And what if we did? Is it simply a ticket? Are you booked? Are you now the Scarlet Passenger?

At first glance I was a little nervous about the new system. Personally it means walking an extra two Avenues, long Avenues… but mostly, any time there's a new way of doing anything different when it comes to making things better, progress its called, there sometimes a hidden agenda behind it. Hidden from view, that somehow bites us all in the ass afterwards. 

Perfect example is the iPhone's fingerprint ID, before it was just security. To get into it. Now it's everything.... who needs credit cards! 

All I know is that when the enforcers of MTA spent wasting close to fifteen minutes making the passengers of the bus, or at least myself, feel like we were guilty of some crime. The old guilty until proven innocent aroma filled the air. And it didn't make me feel very good. And of course this, advancement made me late for work. What next armed men with their drug sniffing dogs? Big brother indeed. We complained about Guiliani, perhaps we should start worrying about the current man in charge, before it's too late. A little paranoid, perhaps....

For those interested in learning about the new system, we New Yorkers are now supposed to know… here's a link:

LETS BLAME HER, BECAUSE SCOTT BROWN WON?

So now the voters aren't at fault, just the candidates who they didn't vote for!

I was listening to NPR yesterday about the Massachusetts's Governor's race between Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley and Republican Charlie Baker, that is currently in a statistical tie in the polls. No biggie, I mean there's plenty of time for one of the candidates to pull away before the voting really begins.

But what got me, I guess the word is annoyed, actually more pissed off then annoyed, was when one of that states constituents explained that he might not vote for the democrat, because "she lost to Scott Walker in her previous attempt at elected office"… "She didn't try hard enough last time!" …"Its her fault Scott Walker is in power!"

Excuse me, is it her fault your fellow citizens listened and fell for the lies of Scott Walker! Your friends and loved ones  believed his campaign bull, his magic fixes. Well as you can see, his campaign was a complete and utter lie. Fabricating facts and figures as the gospel. And look what transpired! Try to remember fella, it wasn't her doing. It was the citizens who voted him in. 

Perhaps its time to make up for that mistake and actually vote in the candidate who will the job. I'm sorry, any one who falls for these born again compassionate Republicans who have seen the light. Who promise and swear upon a stack of Bibles that they will do not do certain things and then we discover once in office, instead  we get women, healthcare and Abortion hating self-appointed moral leaders who deem their personal religious beliefs more important then their political promises. Shame on them and the people who blame others for whom they've voted in. 

"Let's teach her a lesson" sorry sir, this isn't Kindergarten, this is the real world. Vote that Republican in, and let's see how long it is before getting rid of abortions is the first thing that's spouting from their lips. Remember we are stuck with these people, seemingly forever once they're in. So maybe to spite someone because you feel they didn't do such a good job in their last campaign, to teach them a lesson, is really a stupid reasoning to vote the other candidate in. Remember we've heard these lies before…
Perhaps its now time to wake up, to stop watching FOX none-news and realize that electing the right people into office does matter.

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD

Yes… wait-a-minute… you mean this is what replaced him… who?

When Congressman Eric Cantor was defeated the other day, by an unknown Economics Professor, named David Brat, the clouds above this great nation departed, and a little sunshine was seen in some parts of Virginia for the first time in years. The stunning upset to the powers-that-be has thankfully lessened all the obnoxious discussions on our freed POW, U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. It has at least for the hour changed the conversation about Benghazi. I wonder if Hillary Clinton becomes President, will the hearings still be continuing? And it has saved us from yet another inbred, discussing gay conversion therapy.

Simply put, Eric Cantor got what he deserved. The Congressman was a bad representative for his community and for the citizens of our great nation. Seemingly he had the power to do great things to help millions but instead accomplished heinous things, like shutting down our Government… whoops, perhaps maybe that alone was why 'the' people threw him out. Trying to remove their healthcare over and over again, without doing anything about helping them find jobs, I could keep going!
But as with seemingly all politicians of his ilk, the talk was it. The truth was simply he had his own agenda, screw the masses, at the end of the day I'll be richly compensated! Well at least he finally got what he earned… a pink slip from his bosses, the citizens of his state!  

So who is this Economics Professor named David Brat. Any training in politics, nope. Any knowledge of healthcare, probably not. Does he know anything about foreign policy… maybe? My answer to those important questions, probably, none of the above! 

The perfect Republican candidate… completely unqualified for the job! No real experience, just talking points. And in this case, he hasn't been 'coached' yet! You want to be a Congressmen, and you don't have a response because you haven't 'crafted' your answer yet! Really?   

The scary thing is, he is teaching our youth. Maybe its better for them if he becomes Congressman. Of course, then he'll probably help destroy education in his reign of terror for the rest of the children of our nation! So better yet, let him destroy a few brains. The less damage he's allowed to do, the better for the rest of us!

If this 'person' with obviously no qualifications gets elected, then they deserve him. If the citizens of his state fall for whatever BS that his 'handlers' train him to say… then screw them. They don't deserve healthcare, they can all purchase guns together and accidentally kill each other. Because voting in another crazy, when its so in your face, is the reason we are in this situation to begin with.  

Look at the fools that 'we've' elected. Racists, backward thinking, mean-spirited, anti-American non-patriotic gay-bashing haters!  Go ahead continue watching FOX FAUX NEWS and their asinine so-called reporting, that takes real events and transforms them to help sell their zealot political agendas! Helping in their small way to tear the very fabric of our nation apart.

My commentary above, was brought on by an article I discovered today on Facebook (Here's the link to the article that the discussion was talking about):

SO THE NAME 'REDSKINS' IS TRADITION
HOW HEINOUS OF YOU
So I was scrolling down Facebook today, when I discovered a 'discussion' about the current brew-ha-ha with the name of the NFL's Washington franchise, The Washington Redskins. I know its been in the news a lot lately, but personally not something I have been thinking about too much, or really ever. But it is something I've always wondered about. 
Even as a kid, I felt a little odd, but never really thought why it bothered me. Honestly I liked the uniform colors and thought the logo cool, I was a child. Figured it was a Cowboys and Indians thing, but for some reason, it didn't seem like a bad thing. But that was a long time ago, I've grown up, and the rest of the world, for the most part, has to. 
I do find it funny that in this day and age, that a national sports team would still have a name that most people know as a derogatory description of the Indian people. Sadly, as has been showcased all too often these days, there seems to be a lot of racist people out there. And today it seems that in the age of Facebook and Twitter, the worst of people's beliefs are pushed in your face with terrifying glee. Coming out with statements that make your skin crawl, especially when realize that people like Donald Sterling are all around us, even in the year 2014. 
When it comes to racism, of course, all you hear, are people defending it. Its their right. Its free speech, its in the Constitution, God-damn-it! So shut up, and take it. Take our backward thinking redneck mentality, and live with it.
Here's the link to the article that the discussion was talking about:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/24/redskins-team-name-senators-change_n_5385588.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000013&irHuffPost Politics 
So while reading the responses to the discussion, one person of the many, sided with the team. But the answer sounded intelligent, which actually surprised me. It explained the history of the team's name and why its actually isn't really an insult but really a tribute to the Native Indian. Really?
Who knows, he might be historically right. So figured that I should research this a little (I always like to research the facts before making another statement that could shoot me in the foot). So I went to the wikipedia and typed in: (Here's link to that page)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Redskins_name_controversy
I read the entire history, at least as how it was listed there. According to them, it really was a tribute to Indians… so, it seems this persons's response had weight to it, how interesting to read the entire story, sans screaming and yelling to find actually truth behind the reasoning for the name. So it was supposedly a noble gesture to name the team Redskin… who knew?
That said…I am sorry, doesn't matter. If the New York Yankees had been called the New York Yids as a tribute to the hard working jews in New York (I'm jewish, so please don't bitch) would the Rabbi's in NYC be happy about it? Or how about the NY Crackers? As a tribute to the white people that stole this nation from the Indians! I wouldn't be insulted in the least, would anyone else be? Why don't we just call the The Atlanta Falcons, The Atlanta Coonskins or worse (I am making a point here, not trying to insult anyone), some people might find that a cool name too. Why don't we just rename the team, The Washington Slaves! As a tribute to the many who helped build our nations on their backs. Then maybe the racists out there would be happy too… get it? 
The Name Redskins is heinous, screw the token gratitude!
Screw the bull… maybe, if any members of the families who supposedly were the ancestors of the Indians, that the team was named after come out and defend the name, then maybe I'd be ok with it. If the Indian Nation in fact supported the name, then maybe it would be cool! But since it seems everyone that comes out, is against the name… perhaps its time to wake up and step into the new world, like our ancestors did!  
Change your racist name… or go F•ck yourselves… I know for me, I will never ever watch another game featuring that team… even if my team is playing them in the Super-Bowl. Their is power in numbers. If enough fans decline to go to their games, buy their merchandise, if advertisers stop advertising, if the entire Indian Nation surrounded the Washington Redskins' stadium, in TeePees, in protests, maybe then they would get the hint? Or perhaps if a few Paleface's were scalped then maybe they would really get the message. Not that I'm suggesting any violence…

DEATH PANELS INDEED
TURNS OUT THE GOP WAS RIGHT
Don’t you hate it when your villains turn out to be telling the truth? When the Republicans demonized Obamacare because of its ‘Death Panels’ we all scoffed at them. Well at least I did. I mean look at the messenger, Sarah Palin, honestly, did you actually believe one word? It seemed more like another SNL bit starring Tina Fey. Simply more Republican bull…  I thought, obviously they were just trying to destroy The Affordable Care Act’s credibility even before it was enacted… I thought. 
Amazingly it seems, every time the GOP bitch about the Democrats doing something, in actuality it turns out that they're doing the exact same thing or worse.
Sadly, it really was the Republican Governors who should have been given that title... and the Democrats should have accused them of future crimes against the state! Since with their refusal to allow healthcare, they’ve literally caused the possibility of deaths by lack of coverage to their states citizens. They’re putting people’s lives at risk, by preventing thousands from receiving healthcare. I guess they were right, if Obamacare was approved, that ‘Death Panels’ would occur... Sadly even when they are right, it turns out hurting others. And in this case it possibly could lead to us calling some of our elected officials murderers! A list of some of these Death Panelists, these Governors, who’ve refused healthcare to their constituents reads like a whose who in ‘What were they thinking? on election day!’ Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott are the leading faces in this insult to common public decency.
When the President was first elected the Republicans got together and decided to try to ruin his Presidency, how patriotic of them. Let’s try to destroy our newly elected Commander-in-Chief. Screw the ramifications, we have our agenda. Screw the citizens, we have our talking pointings. Screw what's right… even when we are in the wrong.
Even before the President’s healthcare law was approved, the ‘Death Panel’ plan was probably in the equation. Somewhere, these ‘leaders’ got together and decided to prevent their constituents from receiving healthcare and/or the Medicare expansion. Imagine the meeting, the conversations, the talking points discussed, the agenda. Imagine their laughter at the realization of how stupid they must believe the citizens of their states to be. I mean we actually got these idiots to elect us, they won’t even notice that we are sentencing some of them to death! I mean, why would they care if they can’t see a doctor? They don't seem to want to find any jobs. Why can't they just fend for them selves? Run on that republicans, I dare you! 
PLEASE CHECK OUT: Seems I’m not the only one who finds the actions of the GOP to be a bit offensive, in the least, and most likely criminal in the eyes of the law…  'The GOP Death Panel' (at the link below) is an excellent Op-Ed I discovered on-line that kind of back-ups what I’m discussing here. Highly recommended!

“SAME LOVE” — MORE LIKE SAME OLD SAME OLD

SORRY MACKLEMORE YOU BLEW YOUR SHOT

Simply, because of the breakthrough of your now iconic song “Same Love” you had become the voice of a generation. And now the first major message you put out there since, turns out to be the oldest form of hatred in history… antisemitism! 

And then you put out you had no idea... it was an innocent mistake in judgment… really? Tell it to millions of humans who died because of the hatred of others who thought that costume was funny in the past! You mean to tell me you never saw Oliver! The musical? You never watched or read The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. Sorry you put it out there, it’s out there! I now have to wonder if there is somewhere a tape with your voice saying ‘anti-Semitic’ words... I mean where did the idea for ‘Thrift Shop’ come from, your imagination? Perhaps there’s a little Donald Sterling in you too? I know that maybe I’m exaggerating, but Ben Haggerty of the rap group Macklemore rightly or wrongly is now the voice of millions, and this is what he wanted to put out. 

Sadly like the ‘current’ fascination with *Hillary Clinton’s brain, once you put out anything... people will see it. And as a voice for the next generation, introducing them to this stereotype, to me negates any glow this spokesman for his generation ever earned. 

Any hatred is hatred. To disguise it with ignorance, sorry buddy, some of us can see right through it. You know the ones who thought your generation had learned the lessons of the past. Turns out, same love really means, same old hatred for others. You should love my choices, but yours we can make fun of. What if some gangster rapper decided to rap like an over the top ‘Nancy-boy’ would you be okay by that? I don’t think so. You rapped about love and togetherness and then you rap showcasing divisiveness. You blew it, big time... any credibility you created with your phenomenon is gone. 

I’m just glad I didn’t spend any money on any of your music. I like your song Same Love, I loved it's message, but the messenger seems to have the same old human frailties… he’s a little bit racist. If he doesn’t know it, and if he doesn’t realize what he showcased isn’t offensive, then it turns out the well educated hero of millions shouldn’t be the spokesmen for anyone. Instead he needs to be schooled on antisemitism!

*OF NOTE: About that little aside (I know I threw in a little politics into this commentary, sometimes it just fits), the saddest thing about Carl Rove’s suggestion that Hillary might have brain damage is, even if thats true, she still has more intelligence on life support then the entire line up of warnabees that the GOP can come up with combined. Talk about insulting the intelligence of the masses.

ENOUGH WITH THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE ALREADY?
AND NOW THAT FACTS ARE COMING OUT, YOU WANT TO SIDE-STEP THE PROCESS… REALLY!?!
So the Keystone Pipeline is gonna bring us jobs? Really… go on, tell us the numbers. Throw out your spin, stress your reasonings, try to explain away all scientific information as heresy and fiction. I'm waiting… oh, here it comes again, its a gold rush, a new era will begin, its gonna end unemployment as we know it! I mean, if you're gonna exaggerate, excuse me sell your scheme, why not go to the extreme. Come on, you can do it, how many jobs… tell us the numbers?
Really… how many… now how many of those are long time or short time positions. 
I know, what about WMDs… just somehow throw those initials into the mix, then you'll get what you want! Screw the truth, as long as a few people can earn millions, whats the problem if the few literary screw over a nation. 
I mean, why am I worried, some of the great thinkers pushing for this genius idea were behind, a few recently historically major, political mishaps. Like a couple of Wars we are still trying to get out of…
The sad truth behind this job creator, is that this deal, isn't really even for Americans! This whole deal is for TransCanada, a Canadian based company! So basically this foreign company, wants to use our nation as their private oil freeway. Screw what happens to our land, and our citizens. The proposed pipeline stretches 875 miles from Canada to Nebraska, where it would then connect with existing pipelines. So how does this really help the US in the long run?
What about the ecology? What if there's an accident? According to reports (showcased in the link below), over 800,000 barrels of oil will be flowing thru the pipeline per day. What if there's a hiccup, a little crack and a gush of biblical proportions occur, how will they handle the mishap. The Reactor in Japan is still seeping radiation. The clean ups on all the most recent accidents have proven to be a joke at best. You got a few hours to learn some facts, check google!
What can you say to dispel my doubts that you actually know what the hell you are talking about. Are any of you real experts or simply talking heads… go. 
Still waiting… I understand the likelihood of that happening is minuscule. And now, amazingly, these so-called leaders, are trying to side step the waiting process. They claim that we've waited long enough… that The Hover Dam was built in less time then it's taken for them to investigate this situation… blah blah blah. 
Sorry you're gonna have to find another excuse then it's taken too long for approval. It took over a decade to end a war that shouldn't have occurred in the first place! They are still building The Freedom Tower more then a decade after 9-11. Maybe we should wait as long before we possibly make an even bigger ecological mistake as a pipeline filled with flammable material which dissects our country literally in half!
What are you gonna use as an excuse, if a God forbid you are wrong? You are human after all, and humans do make bad decisions all the time. Thinking or hoping, or even knowing in your heart and your head, that they are doing the right thing doesn't in the end help, if they are wrong! Like stopping millions of Americans from receiving healthcare for their own political reasons! Listen as we know now from watching every channel on television, people in this great nation still believe that some races are superior then others... a certain NBA owner thinks so. Should we listen to his opinion on race. Again: question, how much do you really know? Are you an expert on the oil business? Have you even taken a class? 
So as an excellent article I read today showcases, the jackpot that is The Keystone Pipeline, doesn't exactly do what these zealots promises…

"Every time we have a show, somebody says something ... about Keystone, and somehow Keystone is going to create all these jobs," Jones said in the Feb. 3 episode of Crossfire. "Then it turns out, look at the actual numbers. It turns out the actual numbers are 3,900 temporary jobs in the construction sector and 35 permanent jobs."

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/feb/10/van-jones/cnns-van-jones-says-keystone-pipeline-only-creates/
Simply amazing! For something so major as a pipe that runs straight thru our nation me thinks you and your brethren can wait a few more months or years to confirm the safety of this concept. Considering that the job gain is potentially so small, and the ecological dangers to our environment and our health so scary. I think in this case, for once we should side on the side of safety. As Janet Jacket once sang… "Lets wait a while… "
So sorry, Pipeline lovers…better safe then sorry sounds good to me. You wanna help the economy, how about raising the minimum wage, or actually come up with a real jobs plan you great big job creators you. You want jobs, you want to build something… I've got a couple of bridges that look like they need fixing… its called infrastructure.

SENATOR ISSA, ISN'T 
MR. KERRY A LITTLE BUSY 
RIGHT NOW? 
DOESN'T A POSSIBLE WORLD WAR TAKE PREDENCE OVER YOUR PERSONAL VENDETTAS?
"Darrell Issa Subpoenas John Kerry To Testify On Benghazi" Thats the headline I woke to, today. "Darrell Issa Subpoenas John Kerry To Testify On Benghazi" Unbelievable! Really Mister Issa? I understand what happened was a tragedy, and that people died. Which is a real reason why getting to the truth is important. And I understand, that you know in your 'non-partisan' heart that obviously our President's political leanings or better still, a failure on the part of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must somehow be behind the events at the embassy, at least in your deluded 'non-partisan' thought processes. Even though you've already held numerous hearings on the 'tragic' events and haven't found anything that in any way implicates the President or former Secretary of State, Its nice to know, that even without any proof except you personal feelings; that you are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax payers money to confirm at all costs that you are correct. Damned all the evidence! 

And now you are 'forcing' our current Secretary of State, John Kerry to appear at yet another hearing on the event.  Senator Issa, explain this to me: John Kerry was a Senator when this tragedy occurred. Ergo, he wasn't involved with what occurred over seas in Benghazi. So unless you want to query him on the vote that congress took which lowered funds for the protection of foreign embassies, what could this testimony give you which will help put any new light into your investigation.

Considering, according to information mentioned in an excellent article, posted online… That you opposed subpoenaing then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in regards to the the Iraq war (showcased below) makes you doing the opposite with current Secretary of State, John Kerry seem a little politically motivated. 

He also noted that Issa opposed subpoenaing then- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in 2007, in the years-log investigation of phony Iraq War evidence, during which Issa decried "The inappropriateness of hauling the secretary of state… out of the performance of her job."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2540433/U-S-embassy-assault-Benghazi-resulted-death-American-ambassador-preventable.htmlj

That you opposed subpoenaing then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in regards to the Iraq war makes me wonder why you haven't put as much effort into investigating the reasons we went to that war itself. You've spent millions of dollars investigating the tragedy at the embassy, which of course is important. But wouldn't make more sense to use those funds to investigate what really brought us to war! Remember that their are of millions upon millions of lives lost because of a War that should never have happened in the first place.

Perhaps its time to face the truth, and its time to investigate what really happened in Iraq. And lets see who really should be put on trial for crimes against America and Humanity.

SO YOU WANNA HAVE ME 
DE-FRIEND YOU—
ENOUGH WITH THIS 
RACISM CRAP AlREADY
AND THE REASONS WHY 
OUR SO-CALLED FRIENDS 
NEED TO JUST CHILL
PART 1: Isn't life obnoxious enough…
The other day I removed a person from my list of people that I've been communicating with or simply sharing with via Facebook. I usually make my commentaries on Twitter and forward them onto Facebook. Since I’m on both, it makes life easy. Well, as is the case with these so-called social networks, one acquires friends along the way, and/or thru those connections you receive responses that sometimes (A) make no sense, and or (B) can really upset you enough to wanna scream. 
A simple recap of what happened was, that after sharing an article I had read discussing the history between the Ukraine and Russia. I mentioned briefly how I had found it logical and intelligent how I thought it put what's happening into real historic context. (A copy of the whole conversation is showcased below.)
But instead of a like or a comment of any merit, I received a nonsensical ‘Birther’ commentary about President Obama. Now I can understand a joke, to a degree, but when someone demeans our President by throwing out the Kenyan crap, it begins to dawn on me that I'm not interested in having them in my life, even if its just on Facebook. We are discussing Russia here, not Obama's birthplace.  
So when, still thinking that perhaps the commentary was a joke, I responded with what I hoped was a nice warning... basically, don't go there. Sadly it seems, they did.
This time, upping the anti, by throwing in racist comments. Something that always pushes my button. Growing up in Crown Heights, in the 1960’s, as practically the only white person in my neighborhood, racism was something that was a tangible thing. I witnessed it on a numerous occasions. It is something that has stuck with me my whole life. Just the realization that some people actually believe themselves to be better then others just because of how they looked or who they were has always troubled me. And whenever I hear people use those beliefs as excuses to harm others, it always makes me very uneasy. Especially when they use their so-called religious teachings as their reasoning for their unbelievable racist comments. 
To put it nicely people, enough with the racism. Honestly. I'm sorry but in the year 2014, to have to receive garbage commentary by a so-called friend goes beyond simply making small talk and enters the realm of hate speech. To actually have some ingrate use the term, Negro to describe President Obama, and for that matter, any person of color in the year 2014 as a Negro is simply being a racist. And they are using Facebook as a forum for hate speech. I understand that its the first amendment and its their freedom of speech. But that doesn’t disqualify it for what it is… hatred towards people of color or those who have different beliefs. Its freaking 2014, yet sadly, I guess it could have been a lot worse… 
And then to add fuel to the fire, the fool decided to throw in a few token words to showcase their political and historical stupidity: Dictator, Socialist, Commie,  and best yet, Fascist! all words that the fools like to throw out to describe anyone they don't agree with.
Obviously they were just getting started…
So as the screen cap showcases, I have removed them as Facebook Friends… you will notice that I have covered up the persons name & photo's (sorry, not gonna give them any further promotion). 

PART 2 When Political experts slip and reveal the truth behind their messages…
Sadly today’s reports that Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld slammed President Barack Obama on Monday, saying "a trained ape" would have better foreign policy skills, shouldn’t surprise me. Seems every day we get another comparison of our President and/or worse his wife, to either an ape or something worse. Sadly this racist commentary has only grown louder as the President has continued to serve his nation proudly.
Amazingly the expression he used  to describe our Presidents handling of Russia’s current actions, "a trained ape" actually works as both a metaphor and as a racist commentary, really showcasing how smart Mr. Rumsfeld really is. Which for me, makes it even worse. Somehow covering himself, just in case the mud starts flying his direction because of his obviously racist comment. 
Of course by using the elephant in the room, the term ‘ape’ to describe the person doing the job, and that person currently is a ‘person of color’ as an ape, and better still, “a trained ape” is honestly despicable. Even if said without realizing what you might be inferring, and I’m sorry, Mr. Rumsfeld doesn’t say anything without thinking first. I can already hear, his defenders arguing how wrong I am.

“We have status of forces agreements probably with 100, 125 countries in the world," Rumsfeld said. "This administration, the White House, and the State Department, have failed to get a status of forces agreement. A trained ape could get a status of forces agreement. It doesn’t take a genius.”Quoted from an appearance by Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld "On the Record with Greta van Susteren,"  on Fox News.

When will it stop. It’s bad enough when your so-called friends make commentary that goes beyond common decency, and you can simply remove them from your ‘friends’… but to have public officials, people in real power or those who can sway public opinion throw out commentary that frankly reeks of racist commentary, in the year 2014 is simply beyond reasoning. And those people who throw out crap like Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld just did, should be removed from the public discourse. Enough already.

PART 3 Unbelievable, 2000 tweets, who knew?
After I post this commentary, I will be sharing it on Twitter. Amazingly, that tweet will be my 2000th! How the heck is that possible? I Might have to rethink my phone service contract…Either that means I have too much time on my hands, I read too much, I have too many interests and have this need to share my thoughts to the world. Hopefully, as when I originally signed up, really its as a way to stay connected to friends and loved ones about whats up with my life, career and whatever that they might find fascinating. So when I receive commentary from my so-called friends that (as above), it has nothing to do with my share and/or then throw in their personal opinions that franking cross common decency. It forces me to sit back and ponder why I'm even wasting my time and energy… I mean 2000 tweets, maybe someone should throw me a party for being so inclusive with my opinions.

IT'S PUTIN'S WORLD 

AND WE LIVE IN IT

OR IS THAT, YOU SNOOZE, 

YOU LOSE 

So now I get it... Russia has quietly gone backwards, back to the good old days…. It watched, as we wasted the last two decades on military actions that wasted our financial and military capabilities. And worse, watched as the small minded tried to ruin the basic idea behind our great nation's historic meaning. And now, as the petty, and greedy, spew their hatred, causing division and strife, Putin, has begun his attack. First Ukraine and then what, Poland? 
As opposed to the enemy that we've been facing, Al-Qaeda's of the world... Putin's actions with Yugoslavia, along with his current meanderings of the facts, reveals what might be the truth of his plans for the future of his country and for the world. Considering the fact that his time in office, is supposedly ending soon, scarily that could change… dictator perhaps, Czah? He doesn't act like a man whose gonna give up command easily. Perhaps this is the legacy he wishes to be remembered for... the reformation of the Soviet Union. Perhaps he's just testing us to see how far he can go. After all, Georgia, is still under his control.
Scary thoughts I know, but as opposed to the battle we have been engaged in, the possibility of military action between the US & Russia means a real good old fashioned war might be a brewing! And listening to the Republicans, the zeal for that possiblitiy, of war, plus their hatred for President Obama have seemed to merge into one common denominator: whose gonna be taking over the White House in 2016? This possibility of War, could have a major factor in who wins the next Presidency. A women in charge of our nation's defense, during a time of war, against the biggest threat to democracy in our world? I can already see them spewing that garbage. Perhaps Biden might have his chance now? Or perhaps this opens up the Republicans... After all aren't they better at defense? Haven't they proven their military genius the last 15 or 20 years... Maybe, instead, they should take a back seat and let somebody else do the job. 
Maybe just maybe, rational minds will prevail. Right…
Post script
Maybe it's because of Hillary Clinton's recent commentary comparing what Putin is doing to what The Nazi's did... 

* “Now if this sounds familiar, it’s what Hitler did back in the 30s,” Clinton said, according to the Press-Telegram of Long Beach. “Hitler kept saying: ‘They’re not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.’ And that’s what’s gotten everybody so nervous.”

Responding to a question submitted at the UCLA talk, Clinton said “The claims by President Putin and other Russians that they had to go into Crimea and maybe further into eastern Ukraine because they had to protect the Russian minorities, that is reminiscent of claims that were made back in the 1930s when Germany under the Nazis kept talking about how they had to protect German minorities in Poland and Czechoslovakia and elsewhere throughout Europe”  

But I just had the most vivid, mini-movie? You know when you imagine an entire moment, and see it in your mind as if it was occurring, anyway...Today's news report of the ever escalating events in the Ukraine, a map of the area, showcasing what possibly is on the horizon, specificity if no one stops, what now seems inevitable. The reformation of the Soviet Empire. A little dramatic, perhaps... And then the mini-movie began. 
The recent Russian Olympic games. Specifically, the opening and closing ceremony's. In my mind I watched as a second scene appeared, this one in black and white, that overlapped the first merging the two scenes together as one. The second scene was of the 1940's Olympic Games, and I imagined Adolf and his brethren, side-by-side with Putin and the guests at the Russian arena.
A little creepy, a little scary but mostly eye-opening. Making it more unnerving is the statements by some of the leading members of the Right Wing. Using their petty beliefs and personal ambitions to go after our Presidents policies and accomplishments. His character and worst, the ones whose tones radiate vile racist agendas. At a time when it feels like the Rise of the Iron Curtain is upon us, to have these vipers in our midst spouting off comments that can only hurt, more they will ever help our great nation. By trying to make our President into their twisted interpretation of who he really is. It is rather ironic that these so-called proud Patriots attack our President, they seem to be praising Putin. Really? What a great leader that Putin is! Lets sing his praises. Well fellas if you keep of the drum beat, maybe you better start learning Russian. Or perhaps some or all of you already speak it!
How do I say this nicely, get your heads out if your asses already!

NO IMMIGRATION FOR YOU AND

IT'S PRESIDENTS FAULT… HUH? 

VOTE REPUBLICAN OR 

FORGETT-ABOUT-IMMIGRATION! 

Speaker John Boehner made a total fool of himself when he actually had the nerve to use President Obama as the scapegoat for his party’s failures at reforming Immigration. On Thursday, February 6, 2014, he basically blamed the President, using the ridiculous excuse that he’s untrustworthy? That our President can’t be trusted to follow the law! 

"The American people, including many of our members, don't trust that the reform we're talking about will be implemented as it was intended to be," Boehner told reporters during his weekly news conference. "The president seems to change the health care law on a whim, whenever he likes.…."

Excuse me! Aren’t you the person in charge of the fools who shut the country down! So we are supposed to trust you. Now its come out that the latest scheme by the Republicans is that they are hedging their bets that they will win back control of the Senate, and once they do; then we will grant the masses a crumb. Perhaps we’ll allow some of the many a shot at citizenship if we decide to allow it!
Oh really, so what happens when you don't take over the Senate, we'll wait another 2, perhaps 4, maybe 6 years for you to get your heads out of your political asses and decide to fix this mess.
The fact that you are making something so important into a political game really is simply disgusting. So why don’t you go out and tell everyone the truth… that unless you get your way, that is, you get enough fools to agree to vote your brethren in, forgett-about-immigration! 
Tell me again how that's gonna happen. Since the rest of your agenda makes the majority of eligible voters vote for anyone that's not Republican. Oh that's right, that why your party is doing their best to try to rid the voters of their rights.
Let's see, a war on women's rights, a war on voting rights, and let's add a war against immigration now. So if what you are threatening is true, for me its three strikes and you’re out! 
I guess the citizens of this great country will just have to wait till the Democrats take over in 2016. Maybe not such a bad thing, remember we voted democratic in 2008, and the democrats gave us Heathcare Reform. 
Sadly when the Republicans won the majority in The House on 2010, any logic in governance on their part seemingly vanished. Their only agenda was to try to remove the Presidents healthcare reform. So perhaps history will repeat itself. Perhaps, if the democrats get back in power, Immigration will finally have its day.
So no immigration reform, this year. Sorry to all those hopefuls who thought that this would happen while President Obama was in office. 
Simply put, vote Democratic in 2016, expect immigration reform! 
Vote Republican and forgett-about-immigration!

TRAVEL-GATE: THE LITTLE SCANDAL 
THAT COULD
OR IS THAT COMEUPPANCE… 
KARMA, IS A BITCH 
Part 1: Maybe next time Governor, when someone asks you a question, you shouldn’t: a) attack him b) respond like you’re Tony Soprano, and c) showcase why you will never be President. That is if you WANT to be President.
Sir, you are a public official. Voted in by the people. You are not a King. People’s actions have consequences, someone actually died, possibly, because of the actions of people inside your inner circle. You wanna act like an ass if queried about this, then don’t expect the press or the rest of us to still appreciate your personal charms. You should act like you give a damn, not like somebody has insulted your weight, when people query about such a gigantic screw up. 
Perhaps you were out-of-the-loop on this, we can only hope that that is the case. And disregarding the fact that this did happen under your watch, and honestly anyone of us could have had their co-workers or even family members do things without our knowledge. There seems to be some logic in that, some. 
Perhaps this debacle is just what you needed to reveal how you respond when a real emergency occurs. You seemed to showcase your compassion and humanity during and especially after the destruction of hurricane Sandy. Endearing you to lots of people. 
But, after the problems of this ‘traffic-gate’ when a reporter queries you about possible “political motives” instead of attacking the reporter, you should have expressed your anger at what occurred and announced you would find out what really happened, and if something that was done was wrong, someone would feel my bile. Perhaps then your usual obnoxious response wouldn’t have bitten you in your ass. Payback is a bitch my friend and today you are paying the price for it. Having to respond to this now major news story. 
The Tony Soprano Act simply has to stop. Whatever your decision is, in your political future, to run or not to run, this ridiculous incident has tainted your political bio. How you respond to it and what your actions are afterwards will reveal if you do have what it takes to be President. Ask yourself Governor, do you? 

The above sentiment was written from 11am to noon, while I was traveling on a subway; at about same time as Chris Christie’s Mea Culpa, so I hadn’t heard what he had to say yet. The next section was written after I watched it on recap.

Part 2: So it seems, Governor Chris Christie is sorry. He had absolutely no knowledge of why the trouble occurred. He only learned about ‘the emails’ the day earlier when he received a call early in the morning. So he’s really really sorry. A lot of he’s there, governor. Basically the speech was…me me me me me.
So it seems, he wants us to believe he was blindsided by this. He’s as much, if not more of a victim in this then anyone. Basically he’s Jesus and the rest of his inner circle are now renamed Judas. 
Simply the Governors claims are hard to swallow. You mean that after all of the shit hit the fan, you never saw fit to investigate what had happened under your watch. Even if as you joked in that earlier press conference that the whole idea that it was politically motivated was a crock. You mean to tell me that in the four months since it happened you hadn’t told your minions that you had to get to the bottom of what happened, who and what was responsible. Cause this minor mishap cost money and hurt people. And as we’ve been learning more about actually might have broken a few laws. Whoops. The fact that you fired a person cause she lied to you is heartening, but the fact that you didn’t want to learn the facts from the horses mouth, has me troubled. 
Sounds like you already know the answer. Maybe you didn’t know about it before it occurred, but after the embarrassment of what occurred. The massive screw-up. The innuendo’s that have being thrown at you daily, that after all this time that you hadn’t speculated the possibilities. Maybe started investigating people… maybe possibly in your inner circle. I mean Governor when their’s smoke there surely might be a little fire. 
Which of course leads me to speculate, that maybe just maybe you did have something to do with it. Or at least had a hand in trying to sweep it away as no big deal.
Well sorry Governor, it is a big deal. Bigger men have been toppled over smaller scandals. In any event, if it comes out that you either had any knowledge of the incident before, during, or after. And If you in any way tried to cover up what happened, your future in politics is over. Forget 2016, you’ll be happy to survive 2014.
Of course this is all conjecture, as Chris Christie announced to the world he was blindsided by this. He is as much the victim as anyone else who suffered because of the traffic ordeal. Perhaps that explains it, maybe he’s been in shock. That explains his lack of interest in what occurred. Or maybe as others much more educated have suggested something isn’t kosher here. Several possible scenarios that debunk Christie’s Mea Culpa not only as a stalling tactic, but worse as a bold faced lie have been talked about on television and the news media, some of which make much more sense then the Governor’s announced innocence in the matter. 
Perhaps next time when somebody asks a question, maybe you’re respond like a politician who cares, and not a tyrant who had something to hide. Maybe then your innocent, boy who cried wolf speech might have come off a little more believable. A few years back, a different governor of another state, New York, resigned because of a personal scandal. I wonder what the governor of New Jersey will do, if it’s revealed that he either knew about it or tried to cover it up... I wonder how quietly he ends his tenure as governor without having to have the state and/or federal police drag him out of his office or into court. It seems payback is a bitch.

REPUBLICANS, HELP ME OUT HERE, I’M CONFUSED
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, 
MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER 
Why did you get into politics? I mean sincerely, why? 
If its to help people great! If it was just for the job, not so great! I mean, jeez, our country was on the verge of financial ruin, and you refused to reopen the government cause you were afraid you might not get reelected? Really? You are willing to destroy our way of life so you might be secure in your job? 
Do you just hate ‘Obamacare’ or do you just hate the rest of us even having healthcare?
Your party and its affiliates has spent untold millions of dollars trying to block our President’s healthcare plan. Wouldn’t it have been wiser if you were so unhappy with it, to instead of trying to taint it as literary the devil in disguise, you had instead spent all that time, all those resources on either amending it and making it better, or actually coming up with a better plan. In the process, you’ve slowly turned your brethren into a pact of crazed lunatics. Honestly was this a good use of your resources?
I've been thinking, maybe the truth behind your healthcare fear goes even deeper... maybe Obamacare is bad because it actually gives people the opportunity, finally, to get healthcare. The only option that has been discussed by your side of the aisle is having none! Not one suggestion! 
If you add that, to the assault on women’s healthcare, by attacking places that perform or even instruct women about abortions, the far right has been helping to shut down any and all healthcare to thousands if not millions of people in our nation. And in their zeal to rid our world of abortion, I might say that attack has had the effect of harming any and all women in their pursuit of healthcare. Simply by causing the mere closing of these clinics, these zealots, are causing real harm to the lives of real people. In fact punishing the masses for the sin they believe has been taking place. So what if the innocent gets hurt in the crosshairs, the sinners must pay! And if you are at all associated, you deserve to suffer for it! Hence, no clinic, no healthcare. No healthcare, live in pain, eventually you die! 
Why are you in politics to begin with If you seriously think the world’s ending? And if thats the case, should you be involved in ANY decisions politically that effect the rest of us, that is, if we somehow survive the upcoming apocalypse!
Michele Bachman talks about ‘End of Days’ coming and has the balls to even discuss making budget decisions…listen lady, either it’s all gonna blow up or it ain’t; and if it ain’t, maybe we should play it safe? Cause if it is, why the hell should it matter? 
Lady you is literally playing with fire. You wanna see riots in the streets? You wanna tear this country apart? Keep it up!
Republicans Help me here. Remind me again how it’s all about cutting deficits and growing the economy
This last attempt at killing healthcare cost our nation an estimated 24 billion! Tell me how does this get people jobs? Me thinks your games, simply keep hurting our nation and not helping the American people you so desperately want to lead. It hurt us on interest rates, slows down any momentum in the economy, again.   
In your zeal to kill the ‘Affordable Healthcare Law,’ you almost damaged our nation worse then those planes did on 9/11. We consider those zealots terrorists. Sadly it seems even after the ending was near, the zealots, the health-haters still say they should have kept the government closed! Screw everything, destroy the lives of millions of people around the world. Whose the worst terrorists? 
I guess if you think ‘end of days’ is coming doing so much damage doesn’t matter. People’s suffering doesn’t matter. Since I guess the rest of us are moral degenerates who believe in equality, in women’s rights, and oh my God, healthcare for all, are simply following the Devil! All those abortionists are sinners. We deserve to burn to the ground because we disagree with their backwards thinking views. 
Facts be damned, science and truth are tricks to cover us disbelievers from what is their truth. If you believe those thoughts, good for you. But people who try to destroy everything because they believe fantasies, should have no place in running our nation! Remember the world isn't flat anymore, but it seems, your viewpoints are!

CAN WE SAY TREASON?  
SHOULD THESE ZEALOTS BE SENT TO PRISON?
So, now that the crazies are doing their best to destroy our country, I was just wondering if these backward thinking, uneducated, hypocrites should be arrested and put on trial for treason!
As has been reported on numerous occasions, most recently in the New York Times, several members of the Republican Party reportedly got together and discussed doing everything they could do to stop the newly elected President Obama with anything and everything he tried to do. In effect, trying to make his Presidency a disaster. Disregarding whatever the effects it has on our country and its citizens. And this was occurring during the worst economic time of our nations history, probably since the Great Depression!
And now it's reported that they've done a similar thing, but this time dealing with our government when it comes to The Affordable Care Act. First by demanding that 'Obamacare' be scrapped or they would shut the government down! 
But now that that plan has failed, they're still holding the nation's future as well as the worlds economy hostage unless they get there way! Damn the ramifications!
How is this not treason? A bunch of zealots causing trouble, trying to overthrow our way of life, because they think their God has spoken to them. 
I'm sorry, when these same people are talking "End of days" as they discuss the budget for next year, something is obviously not kosher. It seems to these people, that elections and more importantly facts have no place in any conversation. Just personal opinions and hidden agendas.
Hopefully somehow, the power-brokers in Washington will right this ship. But, if or when this crisis is averted these so-called zealots have to be investigated. And if these 'traitors' are proven to have colluded to 'overthrow' our nation, to throw it under the bridge. To literally decide to stop our President in every possible way, and now to destroy our economy, they need to pay the price! 
First by losing their political power, second by entering their well deserved prison cells. And, or third, if its really proven, and they are convicted of treason, perhaps they all can be sent to Texas and strapped into it's electric chair. Cause doesn't treason come with the death penalty!  Now thats "End of days" isn't  it Michele Bachman? Then, you can really have those so called long conversations with your God as you like to describe it! Elections have consequences, and so does trying to destroy our nation!

SO NOW WE GET TO PICK AND CHOOSE OUR GOVERNMENT? REALLY?
IS THAT RIGHT, EXCUSE ME... CORRECT, REPUBLICATIONS... TRAITORS? 
Honestly, let’s call them out. Traitors! These so called citizens, want to dismantle our Government. Literally causing a shutdown... No FOX news, not a streamlining of the government.... A SHUTDOWN!  
You think this is funny? Do you think the citizens of the United States laughing? Simply having your talking heads come out, saying the exact same talking points, word for word, doesn’t change the facts. Saying you’ve come up with several options, that you’re trying to negotiate doesn’t alter the truth. You want one thing, you want our nation to go back in time. 
You selfish few forget exactly why our nation was formed. If you want to discuss what goes into the budget, thats when you discuss it. And funny thing is... You did! The budget was passed! You don’t get to renegotiate the budget again, afterwards. Not when it’s time to pay the bill. After you have a steak dinner, you can’t decide to pay just for the salad, cause you want to. This budget was approved and signed into law. Pay the bill! 
How complicated is that. Because of a few bible thumping backward thinking politicians, being unhappy with that resolution. They now decide, oh sorry, disregard what we agreed on. Disregard the wished of the majority, what next Abortion? Oh thats right, thats's already happening all over the country... Just like the election. Guess the people who voted in the President by more then 5 million votes never happened. (oh, that BS commentary that you won the Congress, well you might have 'won' the elections, but in actuality, you lost the vote... thats right, the democratic candidates actually received more votes... so that theory is shot. Next) 
I guess all the people coming up to you are really the voices that matter. As of now, most of these 'voices of the people' have only been talked about, and never seen. It would be nice to actually have some of these 'complainers showcased, let the public see what you see. Maybe the complaints are sincere, real, and factual. Or maybe, they are simply made-up BS, cause thats all you really got. Kind of like those pesky DEATH PANELS! Or perhaps maybe we will finally find those missing WMDs! 
So let’s just keep every program you dislike unfunded. Department of Defense.... Ok, department of education... screw that, everyone start home schooling.. Social security, Medicare, taxes...everyone for themselves!  Let just end the country...  
Simply put, the tea party faithful, have put a gun to the head of the United States. And that’s without discussing guns! Guess the term united has to be reconfigured, cause really how united are we... really? With politicians trying to make it more difficult to vote. Shut the Government down... Good? it won’t really hurt... Really? 
End Obamacare! End any chance for healthcare for all of its citizens... Sorry, it ain’t happening.. Don’t hold your breath. Cause once the citizens of this nation really and fully realize what you ingrates are trying to pull. Taking away millions of peoples chances of literally being able to get basic medical care. You’ve heard of the million man march....   How do I put this... you wanted to start a fight with the lives of millions upon millions of Americans... you might not be so happy you did!

WHAT IF ASSAD DOESN’T GET SMACKED... WHAT THEN?
OR HAS THE 2ND PRESIDENT BUSH RUINED ALL  FUTURE PRESIDENTS CHANCES OF DOING THEIR JOBS
I keep hearing the mantra: We shouldn’t get involved. It’s not our war. Its not our job. Its not out business. That unless we specifically get attacked, we should simply sit on the sidelines doing nothing. At the same time, others bitch that we should have been doing something for 2 years. Arguing for an all out attack, with possible boots on the ground... 
Seriously, when do we act? After the next use of weapons, perhaps this time outside their borders! Perhaps after an attack against Israel or another one of our allies! 
I understand about waiting, after President George W. Bush lied us all the way to wars that weren’t necessary, especially after the Mission accomplished fiasco! Sadly the warmongers who drove us into the ditch the last decade are now either completely against action this time and/or are calling for an all out war! 
I think by now, at least some of us have learned to be weary when these previous stars of our Government come out of hiding and speak their collective mantra of war. After the financial debacle and the WMD’s miscalculation & their bogus jobs plans, any suggestions or opinions by these so-called experts should be questioned. They weren’t right then, why the hell should we think they are right now or ever. I understand people’s trepidation about ‘smacking’ Syria for using chemical weapons. I understand people’s fears, specifically after the debacle of the Bush years. But I also understand history, remember Adolf...
I for one am backing our President’s decision. He has proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be the one politician I can believe in! Always using intelligence, logic and reasoning with all of his decisions. Always seemingly in the best interest of the American people. Always sitting back, taking a moment to listen to the opinions of everyone. Actually changing his plans when given a good reason. Throughout his entire political life, President Obama has proven time and again to be right about his decisions, seeing the truth through the B.S., seemingly the only voice in our Government standing up against the lies 
Even my choice at the time, Senator Hillary Clinton, fell for the B.S. or at least decided she should side with the President on military action. I mean our President wouldn’t ever lie to the American people, let alone the entire world, would he? The decision, probably, helping the most to lose her race against the eventual President.
If as President Obama asserts, that Assad has used chemical weapons. As the evidence sadly seemingly showcases, against his own people, he needs to be smacked one way or another. Be it today in a surprise strategic hit, or with an announced strike, so Assad (or any other leaders who are even contemplating using these foul weapons of mass destruction), can watch as it happens. Knowing that there is a penalty if they do. 
If we don’t do anything, I can not even imagine what terrible things might happen next. And if we do nothing, what do we say, when the inevitable next attack happens.
