RESIST !!!!
Hey Folks, put on your thinking caps!
Today on NPR I heard John Roberts argue that an employer’s right to fire anyone for any reason was stronger than the First Amendment.
An assistant DA, as required by law, provided the defense with new, exculpatory evidence. He was fired. He sued and has won his whistle-blower case at every level. Now he’s before Roberts & Co.
That ANYONE would argue that a representative of the “Justice” system has the right to fire an employee for FOLLOWING the LAW, is outrageous. That the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court should make such an argument is mind-blowing and clearly shows where this country is headed.
Later I heard that the Terminator was attacking “special interests” in California: teachers and nurses unions. I heard that Arnold, the candidate, had promised not to take donations from “special interests,” and that since the election he has been funded by business interests at a higher level than any previous governor. He must not consider business interests to be “special.”
Arnold says he has to bust the unions to “help the people.” That he can get by with even making that argument, says a lot about where this country is headed.
I also heard that many Republican operatives were extremely despondent over the appointment of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court – one warrior even cried. She may be a backward, right-wing fundamentalist – she may fit the Republican voter profile, but she’s NOT a vampire. She may serve a large part of the agenda – where it fits with her backward understanding of god, country, and what is appropriate behavior for women, gays, and minorities – but she doesn’t LUST after the total destruction of every advance made by the people since the New Deal.
She won’t put a stop to the agenda; she’ll just slow it down a bit; and that “impediment” is enough to make grown Republicans weep. That should provide a clue as to where this country is headed.
On Yahoo news I read about Alan Greedspan: “ ‘ The impressive performance of the U.S. economy over the past couple of decades, despite shocks that in the past would have produced marked economic contractions, offers the clearest evidence of the benefits of increased market flexibility,’ Greedspan said in remarks to the National Italian American Foundation.”
If it isn’t already clear to you what “increased market flexibility” means, Greedspan eventually makes it clear: “flexibility” means the ability and readiness to dump jobs and shaft workers – which Greedspan says is good for the “welfare of the American worker.”
This is the same guy who insists that having Grandma work until she’s seventy is superior to having the wealthy contribute to the payroll tax in the same way the rest of us do.
This should give us a picture of where our “leaders” would like to take us.
I don’t know how others feel about it, but I find all of this – and a whole lot more – beyond “outrageous.” It makes me crazy. I can’t believe such shit can be put out there and be treated as blandly as a new recipe in the Food section!!!
This is so extremely contrary to everything we’ve been indoctrinated to believe that it boggles the mind. The Republicans are truly fucking vampires! But, then, WHERE are the Democrats?
This stuff is so horrid, but we hear nothing from the Democrats. Why? There are way more of us in the bottom 80% than in the top 20%; and there are more than enough serious, pressing issues that any Democrat who wanted to address those issues could be elected. But we hear nothing from the Democrats. Why?
Because NEITHER party serves us. One party PRETENDS to serve us and the other party PRETENDS to serve the others; but neither serve either. They game us for the benefit of the ginks on top.
Resist! Repudiate them all as illegitimate representatives of the people and let them know that we will drive them out. It starts on Nov.2.
