Death to Pastor Kevin Swanson

I was watching one of the shining lights of MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, where she showed a tape of Pastor Kevin Swanson go on what sounded like a completely insane and moronic tirade against Gay people citing a passage in the Old Testament book of Leviticus, and personally advocating death to Gays.

I have a theory that Swanson is a deeply closeted self hating highly submissive Sissy who hides cold sores, with makeup,  that were cursed upon him as a result of his orally servicing a few hundred guys at a Herpes Retreat Camp.  I think this was last summer.  If I am correct, anyone can respond to this jerk by saying. "I know what you did last summer".

It is the weakness in our First Ammendmenr that allows this Pastor, this Fruit of the Poidonous Tree, to rant and make a living appealing to a flock of people who continually vote against their self interests, against the interests of our country, and who would let themselves and America go up in smoke, because, after all, the other party accepts Gays as humans and neighbors and condones free choice.

When I assert death to Swanson, I'm not asking anyone to kill him, I am hoping he causes this by his own hand or the hand of God, does this task.

General Electric (GE) Revisited

I recently wrote a piece asking the darling little girl in GE's institutional TV commercials to speak to her mom, who works on such great intellectual projects and must have sway with Corporate, to ask the powers that be to pay their f----_ fair share of taxes right here in America.

GE's new commercials show a nice young geekish type telling his pals, on one hand, and parents on the other about his new job with GE.  As a former Marketing Major, I can say these commercials are works of genius.  They do not have to say much about GE; you deduct that they are a class act, work on esoteric projects and are a leading edge business.

GE must  have lots of PR feedback speaking harshly about their not paying US taxes.  Nevertheless,
GE wants us to love them. I guess it is tough to be hated when you make underwater fans powered by the moon, and of all things, trains that are friends with trees.


I suppose tv commercials are less expensive than taxes.  But, then there is morality. If not for the U.S.A, there wouldn't have been a GE.

The Drone Program is Getting Some Bad Press

I want to keep this simple.  There are publications horrified over our secret drone program. Does anyone think that the program should not be secret?  Are there Americans, other than the media, who believe that the program should be transparent because, after all, we are promised a transparent government.

Certainly, when we kill a bad guy, we should go open kimona. No one complains about this.

But, what happens when we kill a "suspected" terrorist?  The word, "suspected" means we're not positive.  We may just have some Intel that he is doing stuff Luke shooting a rifle in the air, screaming death to Americans, maybe doing a Jig on our colors and he hangs with bad guys with guns.  In addition,  what. happens when the Drone takes out innocent people, AKA collateral damage.?

These anti-drone under-achievers believe we need to capture suspected terrorists and afford them due process.  They say that strikes should be surgical so as not to harm the innocent.

My 1st Ammendment rights allow me to state that terrorists do not afford due process as we know it, They really try to kill as many civilians as possible, are never inclined to be transparent, and their concept of due process is that everyone else sucks and should be beheaded.

Until these people weed out the terrorists and murderers within, I would like to make a monthly donation to our drone program.  Think of it folks, for just fifty cents a day, two quarters, less than a cup of coffee, we can bulk up the Drone program.

The mindless Dentist and God's majestic beast

I just watched the Cycle on MSNBC where the prevailing theme was about the poor dentist whose life is ruined because people are over-reacting not because he killed a lion who had a family, but only because it was a pretty lion.

I think it is not OK to hunt for sport simply because you have permits.  Some places issue permits to get fees. Some do it to control the killing. It is not OK or macho, to hunt with a bow and arrow leaving the animal distressed and in pain.  It is not OK calling it "taking" the animal as it is should be called killing or murdering.  It is not OK to display the heads of creatures you slaughter on your wall. Frankly, I consider this guy as vile as it gets.

Should this Dentist's life be ruined?  I believe in the penalty fitting the crime.  His ignorance is no excuse.  He is guilty of hiring criminals who lured the lion out from the sanctuary. He is guilty of killing and letting his prey suffer.  He is guilty of morale turpitude. He is guilty of not knowing better because he is an educated man.  In my opinion, what really irks me is that this A-hole is totally unapologetic.  I suggest his penalty should be confiscation and destruction of his entire animal head collection,  a $250,000 fine donated to animal preservation, confiscation of all his weapons and permits to use for 20 years.

Trump and McCain

Donald Trump said that Senator John McCain is or was no hero.  If one were to use a very narrow definition of the word, hero,  Donnie could be correct.  The narrow definition would be bravery perhaps a scoch more than the expected, in this case, in the military..

I suggest that if the narrow definition is used, it should be stated that the definition limits are both explained and are  the only parameters.  I guess being captured doesn't constitute bravery.  However Donnie does not explain any parameters and the preponderance of  scope of what a hero is, as stated in Merriam Webster, should be applied.

I am not a John McCain fan, but would call him a hero.  For his service, he is almost universally admired, he has shown great courage in his prisoner ordeal. and while I may disagree with most of his politics, he is a man of many fine attributes.

So Donnie, grab yourself a dictionary, have someone read to you the definition of Hero, and apologize to the Senator.

Texas Refuses Birth Certificates to Aliens Born There



Let's say Leticia is knocked-up and 7 months pregnant.  She's thinking that she could have the baby here in Mexico, pay the cost and, later when she comes in with the help of a Coyote, both she and her baby have to hope that Cryin' John is not the Speaker and someone named Nancy is.

So, she says to her significant other; Yo, Carlos am gonna motor over to Texas, have the baby free in the emergency room, get a U.S. birth  certificate for the kid so he's a citizen of Estados Unidas. Carlos asks; Yo Chicka, you can do that?  Like, yeah, you can, Honito, everyone is doing it.  Carlos;  Honita, you so smart!

Having had a right wing Governor, the Texas electorate, in their infinite wisdom, decide to effect change and elect someone much further right, presumably to make it clear that they will not be outdone by an Alabama or a Lousiana, and notwithstanding this flying in the face of the laws of the land, they figure on an odds on chance hoping Anthony Kennedy owes some payback to the Italian Narcissist, the black guy who sees, speaks and hears no good, the sheer Brilliance of Alito and the Chief Justice with the pasted on smile.

Chris Shut Up and Sit Down Christie

I was thinking about people I don't like . A few that came to mind were Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini, a bunch of rulers in the Middle East, the shooters of children, the few racist police, Fox News people, Ted Cruz,  Scot Walker, the conservative Judges (except Anthony) Attila, All China's rulers past and present, Nixon, Patton,  North Korean rulers,  and Rand Paul,  Oh, and I also wouldn't want to live in red states.

Now, while I dislike those people, and red states, I'm just waiting out those still alive.  I'm eating fewer hot dogs and frys.  But, they are  not worth me giving up ice cream and chocolate.

On the far end of the dislike scale, even to the right of loathing is the New Jersey Govrrnor who wants more power.  He wants to act like a street thug on a bigger scale.  He wants talk down to his distractors on a larger scale.  Thats what I think. Christi, if you don't like it shut up and roll down.

If he becomes President, I'm moving to Uganda. Yes, 2441 Antebe Blvd.  I'll open a gay bar and feel safer.


DONALD FOR PRESIDENTE

I just read that Donald promised that he would change his Do if elected President.

Before he made this declaration, I just thought he was a bragging fool, an egotistical immature child, a bigot, a racist, a homophobic jerk..  But now that he will change his hair if elected makes me change my mind.  

He's willing to change his do.  

That's it, I'm voting for him.  I hope he's not lying. I'll do anything not to look at him now.

RACHEL DOLEZAL ....WE LOVE YOU

This is a story about parents who outed their daughter. Nice job Mom and Dad.  You can now take off your white robes with the pointed hats.  This is a story about the mindless media totally committed to their craft that they don't care whose life they hurt or destroy as long as it is not their own.  Their excuse is that they're only the messengers, just the ones carrying out their marching orders.  News flash, the same excuses were used at Nuremberg.

This is a story about the NAACP who may have missed the opportunity of a lifetime by accepting Ms. Dolezal's resignation.  They already said she was doing a good job, a good advocate, a good leader.  Which genius pointed out that she checked Black on a form?  Which shameful elected officials gloated?

This is a story about a girl born to white parents, was educated by mostly black teachers, declared herself as black, passed for black and then spent her days helping black people.  Did I get this right?
So, WTF, beg her to take her job back. And, as to her parents, please self deport!

DRONES and Boots On The Ground

I usually do some research but owing to need-to-know issues,  the government has not friended me.  We had tons of boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and some 5,000 of our men and women wearing those boots died.  I think some 30,000, wearing those boots,  were seriously wounded.  Compare to 4 people dying in Benghazi and the congressional investigations found Hillary to be faultless. No blood on her hands.

The excuse for those thousands of Americans dying was false credible evidence of both weapons of mass destruction and that Saddam would use it against us.  Now, there are some out there who want to not use drones and go back to boots.  Others want drones and boots.  Some intellects want 100% assurance that drones only kill the bad guys.  They should wear black hats and name plates and house prisoners far away.

I don't want boots on the ground. I don't want parents, spouses, brothers and sisters to lose their American warrior or have them wounded. I well know the other side of the issue. For these reasons, I love our drone program.

Rand Paul

I read in cyberspace that Rand Paul requires that anything he said in the past, hereinafter, must be off limits.  Really wish I remembered the exact quote, language and context, however I think it is the most bizarre thing to emerge from the mouth of a Presidential Candidate.  He seems to feel free to viciously go after anyone's past without necessarily being encumbered by facts,   Yet, anything he said in his past, any of his flip-flops, any simply not true statements are no to be mentioned hereinafter.  Well so much for his statements

Now, I understand that in addition to not talking about what he said, he ends interviews or gets enraged if something he did comes under scrutiny.

What an ideal position to be in.  He wants to erase his utterances, wants to be assured only mutual admiration interviews, and he thus assures he's as clean and pure as Caesar's wife.  And, all the time have his way with his dis tractors.

Now, once he says something, it becomes in his past, as soon as it is said.  So, he is actually also protecting the present and future.  Brilliant!

The last person who had such free reign, was a little mustached fool in 1939.

INDIANA DOUBLE-TALK

Just my stupid opinion that Indiana's answer will be that there is no license to discriminate. To them this will simple mean that no specific law says you can discriminate.  This does not mean that a person can't discriminate, only that the State does not give specific permission to do so.  A person can still refuse service or products because there is no law stating that they can't.  Then if a person refuses service, he can say it is not discrimination, but simply exercising the laws protection of his religious beliefs.

The State must have a non discrimination law

Andreas Lubitz, GermanWings and the French Alps

In the early hours and days of this tragedy, a Prosecutor was stating to the world's news services that the co-pilot crashed the plane on purpose.  I don't know the Prosecutor's name or if it was a he or she and if (I'll call it a "he") his nationality was german or otherwise.  In the days that followed, the Prosecutor alluded to depression, that  Lubitz lied to his company, that he was seeking the help of a shrink,  then they found that doctors told him he was unfit to work but he tore the Doctor's note up.

The effort, I guess, was to make sure that the world knew, even before the first black box dried, that the Airbus plane was totally not at fault.  To keep the parent company pure as Mother Theresa, a huge effort was undertaken to tell that this 28 year old co-pilot was capable, trained and qualified  up to the highest Luftansia standards.

Since then, Andreas Lubitz took a leave of absence in mid training maybe because the psychotic drugs were slowing him down. There were articles that he became a Muslim, and he lived with a girl friend who is pregnant.  Someone wrote that he could have been Jewish. I'm shocked that this theory took so long to emerge. After all, the Europeans are hard wired to swallow a Muslim or Jewish connection.  Now I understand that the Prosecutor says Lubitz was suicidal.  Now, why would anyone think that?  Someone told me that the Governor of Indiana said Lubitz was Gay, but I rejected that notion out-of-hand as  the tell came from a Republican in the locker room of my gym.

The CEO OF Luftansia, Germanwings parent company stated that they didn't need two people in the cockpit at a time as zis vaz only von incident.  I detected an underpinning of arrogance reminiscent of B rated war movies. OK, maybe I'm just not a nice person.  Now they have the two rule.

Anyway, I think pilots, conductors, ship captains, et cetera, should undergo periodic lie detector tests snd psychiatric evaluation. As well as blood and/or wee wee analysis.

The Koch Bros. Are Advertising

The Koch brothers have joined such notables as BP and GE with institutional TV ads.  Institutional advertising is unlike most TV ads that are designed to sell products and services.  It generally has the purpose of making the public feel better about the corporation. It can be thought of as a public relations ploy to build reputation that has been tarnished owing to the way they operate.

I believe the GE ads were most likely to overcome the fact that the avoid paying taxes in the U.S.A.  The BP's handling of the Gulf spill put the disdain for their name probably on a par with those on the FBI's most wanted.  Adding insult to this, they apparently failed to rebuild, repay and clean up as promised.

Now the Koch Brothers, the champions of the 1%; the billionaire oil Barron's that also own a number of national branded products have spent many millions to influence legislation and the outcome of elections.  They are champions of the Republican Party at the state and national level.  I would venture that they are amongst the most hated by the majority sector of voters.

There has been a concerted effort to ask citizens to avoid their brands.  Just Google Koch Industries brands.  I think you'll find Northern toilet paper, Brawny and many others.  It must be hurting them else they wouldn't resort to institutional ads.

They're very smart. They show how many jobs they create, how innovative they are, how they build America.  I'm not fooled. I stay away from their brands and ask others to do the same.

Jodi Arias Before the MurderI

I looked at a collection of pictures of Jodi and her ex-boyfriend Travis.  Pictures of them taken by each other as well as by a third party.  All of these were pre-trial.

I did not read much, did not see any film, did not follow the trial, yet was still showered with words and graphics.  Thirty times stabbed, almost beheaded it seems more than self defense. It seems she wanted to kill him over and over.  For this brutality, the overwhelming comments demanded the death penalty.

So, I looked at their pictures.  Her poses were not particularly pin-up, not suggestive, but what you'd normally see fom a person committed through love to a boyfriend.  Her smile and body language seem to say that this guy is the one.  Her non smiling pictures still seemed sincere in this relationship.  A few looked less happy than the others but not in a way to diminish him.

Then I looked at his photos.  Of some two dozen shots, he smiled in only one picture - the one where he was giving, presumably, a business talk to his audience. In all other pictures, when he was with Jodi,  his face and gestures were either somber, making childish faces, disdain perhaps, and devoid of a man happily in love. In one picture he gave a "brotherly" kiss on her cheek. In just about every shot, his expressions may have been polar opposite of what he said to her, and his declarations during intimacy with her.  

I don't think she is a monster. If he really loved her, they'd be married with a bunch of rug rats. I know what transpired was monsterous. My pea brained opinion is that the day of his death was the last straw.  I think it may have been rejection growing and festering for some time.  Possibly, the feelings of being lied to, of cheated on, of just being used when she may have told her world that this was the one. Did it all make her snap?  She should have claimed diminished capacity.

European Jews Moving To Israel

Bibi Netanyahu invited Jews from France, then Denmark to move to Israel.  He offered a warmly stated relocation assistance program.  Immediately, the leadership of both countries asked their Jewish populations to stay and not migrate, basically saying that they are equal citizens and part of the cultural fabric of their country.

There seems some politics involved on both sides,  Bibi effectively touting that if you can't protect our people, we will be happy for all of them to live in the Jewish State.  His declarations may be mitigated by the upcoming elections in Israel....Maybe not! NBibi maybe just saying to come live where the controlling directive is "Never Again".

The heads of state in France and Denmsrk do not want to show that they can't protect a sector of their population as they would look weak and ineffective.  As well, they might not want to lose a largely well educated, professional and intellectual though minority population.  As well, they might simply be outraged and want to make this right.

Over the last few thousand years, the history of the Jews in Europe has been nothing short of one sick horror story after another.  There doesn't seem to be an end to targeting Jewish people; the only differences are horrors of scale.

So, for what ever the motive othat European leaders hsrbor at this moment, it changes with elections and anti semitism, bigotry and  brainless discrimination will again rear theirugly heads.  That is my prognosis.  It does not mean that they should pull up roots and leave.  If it were me, I'd protect myself, my community and the property therein or I would go where the operative culture is "Never Again". For every European Jew, it is a decision that needs attention.

The Moderate Saudis

Ol' King Abdullah died and world leaders went there to pay respects.  Well, I guess if you compare the despot to other leaders in the world, particularly Middle East Arab leaders, and move the definition fulcrum a half dozen sigmas to the right, he was moderate.

Let's use an article I read and give Abdullah the Merriam Webster definition of moderate.  All opposition party leaders were arrested and one had what they call a mental breakdown in a Saudi hospital.  I guess this is moderate if you live in Moscow.

Recently a Saudi woman was beheaded, being accused of witchcraft, not because she was caught practicing it, but because she owned books on it. How is this moderate?  I guess she could have been tortured first.

A blogger dared to question differences in Church and State was given a 1,000 lash sentence. The moderation here comes from the fact that he could have been given 5,000

A woman was arrested for bringing food to a Canadian woman who was dense enough to marry a Saudi, and who was locked up in the home by her husband without being given food or water..  She is accused of helping incite a woman against her husband.  I have mixed emotions on this one.  I understand that she did leave the cap off the toothpaste.

Thousands of Ethiopian workers were beaten and kicked out of the country because they were Ethiopian and no longer needed.  Didn't they learn anything from the Chinese?  They could have killed them and harvested their organs in a women's' hospital.

It was recommended to allow women to drive between certain specified hours and days.  King Abdullah said no.  Look guys, we want to be moderate, not freeking Liberals.

Although women are banned from working in most industries, Abdulah allowed them to work in lingerie stores so men would not have to wait on them.  Yes, everything in moderation.

Women were allowed to earn 1/3 of the total number of scholarships, but if they go overseas, they must take a chaperon along.  Honey, if you come to Cali, don't go go U.C. Santa Barbara.

And leaders from all over the world went there to "pay respect".

Heading Toward .a Fascist State

We seem to be heading toward a fascist state. I have hesitated about writing this for over a year simply because readers might think that it is an over-sensitivity owing to my progressive bent and personal background.  A 3rd reason is that the words fascists, Hitler, Reich are so horrific that there is a national hesincy to compare or label this on any person(s) or group even if they smell of the same symptoms. Lastly, I'm no historian no political or social expert.

Hitler came to power based on the repetition of lies and promises of taking a country back.  He used ideology, blamed minorities,  pushed nationalism and the opposition was cowered and too many were apathetic, and rich and influential people saw opportunity to expand their greed.  The seemingly moronic population saw a chance to improve their lives.  The ultra morons believed that God would provide.  The clergy were too involved in promoting their self interests, the courts either folded or were replaced by ass kissers.  There was a constant drive to use the military, to consolidate power.  People who carried out Fascism were social degenerates.  The leaders of the movement had mostly Getman sounding name.  Oh, tell me I'm wrong!

Does this sound familiar to you?  Germany killed, Republicsns  are suppressing. The few are consolidating power. They do not want controls and regulation.  Voting rights are being removed, women and minorities suppressed, lies are being repeated.  I can go on forever.  More and more legislators are to the right of Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini.  The people are voting against their own best interest.  Millions of Americans have eroded their freedom, their economic status, their good paying jobs believing that anything is better than a woman.'s choice. 

If you don't like my opinions, don't read my writings.

AND HE IS UNDERGOING A CLEANSING

 I am looking forward to an all Republican Congress, with the same unbridled enthusiasm as my first Colonoscopy.  My only solace in life is having been put to sleep without that one Senator in attendance,  who wears, with a child-like sense of pride, her former occupation of performing castrations. It is an occupation no doubt instrumental in getting her elected in her state.  What better qualifications, could she possibly have to accomplish her stated goal of making them squeal.

For those of you not utterly frightened at America's prospects for the next two years, contemplate, if you will the potentiality of a Mike Hucabee Presidency in 2016?   I heard that he has divested himself of all earthly things, positions and titles in preparation.  It sounds like he was getting a cleansing..

Anyone have a Kleenex?
