Ah, the Republicans. Behind the guise of Christianity, fiscal responsibility, small government, or whatever they are calling it this week they constantly are seeking to find ways to show their complete scorn and hatred for their country and the folks within it who are just hoping to make enough money to move their families into the middle-class. We all remember how Jim Bunning, the most maniacal looney toon junior Senator from Kentucky sought to deny benefits to the workers Republicans policies displace by crashing the economy. Now, it appears as if that move was not heartless enough and another Republican has decided to once again show the American worker just how much scorn and hatred Republicans have for them. Yes, Tom Coburn is seeking to "Out-Bunning" the master himself, Jim Bunning.
I posted these vids the other night to show our readers just how much contempt the supposedly "Christian" right actually has for Christianity. Now, it appears as if the comments in the Beck video is raising a little fuss among some Christians who feel that he has insulted their faith. Even those within his own faith question whether Beck knows anything about his own religion.
Its about time. For decades Progressives in Kentucky have been completely disgusted with the anti-American tactics used by Mitch McConnell and his minions in the Kentucky Republican Party who followed him like obsessed disciples. When President Obama first entered office I could not believe that a man as seemingly intelligent as he is could ever think he would be able to work with a man such as McConnell. Now, it appears after reaching out to McConnell and his radically Corporate Republian Party and pulling back a bloody nub just as we predicted here the President has had his fill. Thankfully, he is finally taking McConnell and his crowd to task.
Man for so many years in rural America we have heard that Democrats would take our guns, although no Democrat has taken a gun from a rural American that I know. Now, it appears as if the guns aren't all Obama and the rest of us in the "Socialist-Nazi-Communist" cabal that is trying to turn the Capital into Red Square want to seize from rural Americans. Yes, now the good ole boys had better brace for the next fight. Yes, Glenn Beck watchers now we want your fishing poles!!
Well, here we go again. From the Party that hates anyone that does not look and act just like them we have another gay-bashing Republican politician. Forget the fact that in America one can pursue any lifestyle they want as long as it does not infringe upon another's rights. Forget the fact that discrimination has no place in American life, despite who is being discriminated against. The fact of the matter is that the Repubicans are simply going to bash gays because there are not enough of them to do much about it, and it has been a winning strategy for them in the past.
The Kentucky Senate race was getting quite boring. Leave it to eccentric, Looney Tune Jim Bunning to heat things up. One would like to think that the outgoing Senator who was shunned by the McConnell machine because he is a can or two short of a six pack decided to shake up this race but then you realize that well, Bunning is a can or two short of a six pack. However, his callous, uncaring and hypocritical "stand" earlier this week against the nation's unemployed has indeed ignited the Kentucky Senate race, which quite frankly was becoming a yawner.
Boy, the world of the Republican mind can be quite twisted. A Republican Senator from Kentucky who is retiring and has clearly been off his rocker for some time does what every Republican in their heart wants to do and blocks unemployment benefits for millions of workers Republican policies displaced as well as costing jobs and threatening the Television access of rural Americans and somehow that is the fault of the Democrats. However a deeper look shows that this is just what Republicans want and as usual with any move by the national Republican Party is ripe with fresh hypocrisy.
Some of the most frustrated folks in America right now are the leaders of America's labor movement. They have good reason to be, as an all-out war has been waged basically by both parties upon them in the last several decades. After the last election, when they used so much energy and support working Americans won the White House and a huge majority in both chambers of Congress they had really hoped that the plight of working Americans would be addressed through healthcare, wages, an end to outsourcing and the Employee Free Choice Act.
When Jim Bunning blocked unemployment benefits for those who lost their jobs due to the economy he helped crashed I would have to say that most Republicans were pretty torn. I mean, Kentucky's Repubican Senate candidates were all for it, and stated so publicly but in the Republican leadership there seems to be a little angst. See, Republicans simply cannot afford to let the American people hear how they really feel, but deep inside they are all Jim Bunning.
LANGUAGE WARNING: Today’s story is uncharacteristically blunt, and from this moment forward we will be using lots of inappropriate language in making our points.
It is by now fairly well known that Rahm Emanuel, President Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, had a bit of a blow-up with liberals who were ready to start running ads against “blue dog” Democrats who were working very hard to shut down the health care reform effort.
Now we’re not gonna get in the middle of that argument today; instead, since we’re finally getting a chance to talk, I figured me and Rahm could get a few other things out of the way that have been on everyone’s mind for the past year or so.
After the much advertised "bi-partisan" forum on healthcare it seems to me one glowing fact remains for the American people to be blinded by. Republicans simply have no interest whatsoever in changing one of the most costly and least effective healthcare systems in the world. They also care very little about whether millions of uninsured Americans recieve coverage and ultimately seek Emergency Room treatment for illness, passing the cost on to everyone else. Now, it is time for Democrats to take off the gloves, come out swinging and fight with every power at their disposal to pass true healthcare reform.
The most hypocritical Senator for Communist China, Mitch McConnell is at it again. Yes, this man talks a good game about the American people while he outsources their jobs to oppressive governments who use virtual slave labor all while telling them we should "listen to" them. However, the sorry truth is that Mitch McConnell could really care less about what the American people think.
While I have been disappointed by the direction of this Administration one thing remains true. When they took office our country was disasterously close to a Great Depression. A Depression wrought by the irresponsible policies of greed enacted during the Bush years of being rubber-stamped by an uncaring Republican Congress. While I personally feel the stimulus did go far enough, the Looney Tunes on the right are now deeming the whole bill a failure. Yes, talking heads like Glenn Beck may bark like a dog, but the facts show they are just licking their own butts.
Boy, the Senator for Communist China Mitch McConnell has some nerve. After spearheading the Republican "do-nothing good" Congress that rubber-stamped every failed policy of the worst President in American history he is seeking to lecture others on debt, taxes, healthcare and the economy. I mean these are the folks that brought us a trillion wasted dollars on failed wars and whose only solution to anything was to put it on the American credit card or borrow it from China. Now, McConnell seeks to bemoan the commission started by President Obama to reduce the Federal Deficit.
You know with all the troubles partly caused by the Republicans being the "party of no", America is in a sour mood. Nothing good is getting done in Washington because so many Democrats are wanting to be "bi-partisan" and so many Republicans just think the road to Congressional control is to make Democrats look bad. Now, many of them are predicting Senate control after the 2010 elections. However, even with the toxic environment for incumbents this will be a long road for Republicans.
In Kentucky there is one person that working folks simply know as Congressman Awesome. With our depressing Congressional delegation, he is the one bresh of fresh air on the national scene. He is Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky's Third Congressional District in the Louisville area. He has been a godsend not only for Kentucky Democrats, but for all of those in the country who truly believe in Democratic ideals for our country. With the dangerous environment for incumbents, national Democrats need to do all they can do to help us get John Yarmuth re-elected.
With the apparent death of manufacturing in America the service industry has taken over as a major employer in our country. With over 13 million workers, the restaraunt industry seems to be particularly booming. However, unfortunately for the young folks growing up in this "Lost Generation" for jobs, these jobs are thankless and provide little in the way of wages, benefits and job security.
