How Much More Is America Going To Take?
ISMS, ISMS Everywhere!
There have been a lot of big scary words thrown around the last few months everything from SOCIALISM!, COMMUNISM!, MARXIST!, FASCISM! YIKES! Those are some scary “ISMS”! The Reality is most Americans couldn’t explain the difference between these “ISMS” if their life depended on it, which I guess explains why these fringe groups accuse our president of being them all, even though they are contradictory philosophies! But that doesn’t matter because we know one thing… WE HATE ALL THOS “ISMS” and love CapitalISM and free marketISM! So Turn off the brains and SHOUT! Oh and paint big red letters on poster boards!
Shhhhh! Don’t tell these people, all americans are all secret socialists! With Our Police Departments, Fire Departments, Public Highways & Roads, Postal Service, City Governments, Public Education, Public Libraries, Parks, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, HUD, Unemployment Insurance, Education Grants, Business Grants, Minimum Wage, Graduated Income Tax, Disability, Public Utilities, Science Grants, Labor Unions. I could keep going, but in America Socialism seems like something people aspire too! When you reach 65 years of old, you are eligible for Social Security and Medicare! So I guess, Socialism is a reward for surviving till 65 years in the United States. Continue reading America Has The Government We Deserve →
Politically Exploiting Thanksgiving
By ✖ the Monk ✖ on November 24th, 2009
This blog is my full unedited response to a local conservative commentator named Lynn Vakay who lives in Acton, California and is a Santa Clarita Valley school teacher and a member of the 38th Assembly District’s Republican Central Committee. Her Commentatary titled “Lynn Vakay: To whom should Americans be giving thanks?” which was written in my local newspaper the signal. http://www.the-signal.com/news/article/21079/
Enjoy

Hey Norman, You Forgot to Paint Jesus!
Isn’t it refreshing that Mrs. Vakay saw it fit to use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to push her political and religious propagandas while simultaneously launching a preemptive strike against the Obama White house? She does not know what President Obama is going to say, but she has already determined she does not like it. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone. Bravo. It takes a lot of practice to type 753 words and not say much of anything.
Mrs. Vakay starts off by repeating the outrages seen on conservative news outlets, about President Obama’s comment on how, America is not being just a Christian nation only. She neglects to ask herself why the President would make such a comment? Could it be that he is aware the Muslim world as well as the Christian world view the two occupations as Holy Wars? Don’t believe me? Just look at the comments Republican VP Candidate Sarah Palin said June 2008 while addressing a local graduating class: “Our national leaders are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God.” Former President Bush also stated in June 2003: “I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.’ And I did, and then God would tell me, ‘George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,’ and I did.”[*] Add Donald Rumsfeld putting Bible verses on Presidential War Briefings[*] and the 700,000+ Arab Civilians who have perished as a direct result of our military operations[*] and it is no wonder the Muslim world is a little annoyed at us. Mrs. Vakay’s beloved conservatives do not even attempt to hide their real motivations. They act as if Al Queda does not know how to read the newspaper. Muslims of the world read the above quotes and get their “jihad juices” flowing. Obama has the wisdom enough to try and temper these notions and make it clear that he is not waging war against any religion.
