This cat is my new hero.  In a country burning with bullshit accusations and finger-pointing, someone in the media finally has the balls to call it like it is.  Although the title of this YouTube video is a little silly, the point is very well made in the editing.

Politics powered by money virtually guarantees us that the people with the cash are the people with the power.  Thanks to whoever this dude is for laying it down on national TV.  Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Holy bat-shit, Batman!  When I first saw this video on Google+ I thought it was a feeble attempt at someone editing the audio to make a funny point.

Then I realized that this video is UNEDITED.  That’s actually Rick Perry, actually saying those things.

I guess the gloves are off, and we’re on to the next chapter of crazy.

Here’s the link to YouTube

I found your Jesus, or at least the guy claiming to be him…  And he’s a completely insane pot-smoking college student currently on trial for an assassination attempt on the President of the United States.

Another Christian fundamentalist causing pain and suffering.  We’ll just never get past this, will we?

Here’s the news article.

Without reservation, let me just say that it is absolutely imperative that the Occupy movement taking place across the nation (and the world) should be very careful not to let in political backers.

Occupy should take a lesson from the Tea Party “movement”.  When you give the steering wheel to one of the political parties, you give up all credibility and direction.  More importantly, I think you’ll find the news stories go from using words like “organic” to words like “staged” pretty quickly.

Keep the Democratic party OUT of the Occupy movement.  Trust me on this one.

The bar has been raised.  Bachmann proves (yet again) that she is completely bat-shit insane.

In case you missed the story, speaking in Florida, she said: “I don’t know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, ‘Are you going to start listening to me here?’”

Which, exactly like it sounds, is suggesting that God’s wrath in the shape of otherwise seemingly random weather events are actually punishment for our Nation’s inability to balance budgets, and/or create bipartisan legislation.

Twice this weekend, I was asked what it would take in a candidate to get me to show up to the polls.  Yeah, you read that correctly… I haven’t voted in years.

First, I’ll address the likely outcry you’re having right now:  In my opinion, the system is broken.  Go back and read about red and blue shit from way back in March.  The voting process in this country is a sham.  It is specifically designed to lure fools into the fools game of believing that the system works.  Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will, I’m fine with that.  Until we convince the American populace that candidates don’t have to be rich, self-serving members of their political party, the vote will continue to be a waste of time and resources.

Given that we fix that problem (BIG given here), I will vote for a politician who will provide the following:

1. Corporations are not people.  Round up all of the existing congress that voted for this bullshit and throw them out.

2. Government should be only as big as it needs to be.  The only reason that our current congress “spins up” new focus groups or sub-committees is to line pockets with cash.  Let’s take the “payback” out of the equation, and I think you’ll see a lot fewer groups like this.

3. Cap the pay of ALL political offices to something reasonable.  Teachers, cops, and soldiers making $20,000 a year and congressmen taking hundreds of thousands home is a slap in the face of reality and reason.  Serving in our congress should be an honor taken by honorable people, not someone looking to increase their wealth.

4. “Pork barreling” stops NOW.  Stop all influx of campaign money that leads to law.  Anyone caught doing this is immediately removed from office and arrested for treason.

5. Rip out the Bush administration’s policies.  No more rich-kid tax cuts, no more “Patriot act“, and get us the fuck out of the middle east.

6. SEPARATE church and state once and for all.  If a candidate spews religious shit in any light, they are instantly out of the race and done with politics.  We need a government of reason and accountability, not children’s bed-time stories and fear-mongering.

Well, that’s a start anyway.

Mind-blowing, compelling, powerful.  Those are some of the words that people, including myself, have used to define this video.  Hearing the words directly from the mouth of a soldier only solidifies their meaning.

Stand up America!  Stand up and tell them:  We’ve had enough, Mr President.  We want out of the middle east, members of Congress.  Your lies and methods of control are no longer able to convince us that we have any business terrorizing some other part of the world because your corporate backing “constituents” out-weigh the rest of America.

Get us out of this “war” and let Americans live the lives we were promised by our forefathers, and those who fought and died before us.

Another day, another congressman uses his political office for corruption and criminal behavior.  The only real surprise is that justice might actually occur this time!  Rod Blagojevich was found guilty of 17 counts of graft charges.

We’ll see if he actually gets any real prison sentence, or if we have another example of the king’s pardon.

So, this douchebag-congressman Anthony Weiner get’s caught last week tweeting a photo of his weiner.  I’m sure you’ve read about it at least 11 times by now.

I’ve posted about government official’s sex scandals for years now, literally years.  Haven’t we had enough?  Has politics become so ennuie that these fucktards need to start “sexting” their Twitter followers?

How much longer will America put up with the rich elitist behavior of these asshats?  How much more bullshit will we be forced to swallow as the rest of the world points and laughs at us?

Here’s a thought:  Every time one of these jackholes does something like this and embarrasses the country, we fire his ass; NO EXCEPTIONS.  No voting, no media fluff, we just fire them on the spot.

6/8/11 update: In addition to twittering his tweeter, “sext” messages have been released that date back to Sept of last year with Vegas black jack dealer Lisa Weiss.  You can bet there’s more of this coming…

Currently, there is a bill in discussion in Florida’s house pertaining to the open carry of firearms.  Unsurprisingly, this bill has caused a great deal of debate.  The NRA and pro-gun committees have been trying to sell the necessity of the bill “to prevent the arrest of CWP holders who may inadvertently, or accidentally, expose their firearms”.  This is all fine and good, but I think this “reason” has missed the point.

Essentially what we have here is a “solution” to a problem by passing more legislation instead of fixing the original law.  I’m certainly not pro gun legislation, those of you who know me know that I am an avid gun owner, competitive shooter, and overall fan of firearms.  But the open carry legislation passed as a “fix” for the concealed carry law is a misdirection.

Also, it seems to me that some scenarios where an open carrying citizen might inadvertently cause an escalation.  Before the hate mail starts, let me play out a scenario for you.

You are in a gas station, looking through the candy bar isle when an shotgun carrying bad guy comes through the front door and demands the clerk turn over the register’s cash.  Normally you’d be carrying concealed, but since this law passed, you figure “what the hell” and suit up with a waistband holster.  Now the robber turns his attention to you, as he never even noticed you back there on his way in, and you have a gun on your hip.  Had you been carrying concealed, you might have decided to do nothing to stop the robbery, assuming the bad guy would take his money and run.  But now we have a good old-fashioned wild-west showdown taking place, as the criminal is convinced you’ll draw the minute you get the chance.

This is how people get shot.

I’m not saying the law will cause people to end up in a Hollywood style shootout, but it’s certainly worth entertaining the thought.  I do believe that an armed society is a polite society, and I think firearms have a lasting place in America, as this was a major factor in our history.  I’m only suggesting that the open carry / cowboy lifestyle might be a bit outdated.

Maybe we should spend less effort pleasing the NRA, by passing more laws and more time fixing the laws that are already broken.  Say, by adding a clause to the concealed law that allows for accidental display of the hidden firearm.
