2011 Anal-Ocity #17

Good Lord!  Do these idiots have to give their mouths a rest and let their brain do some work?  Apparently…NOT!  These anal statements are just mounting daily……it should be a good year for the “Assies”…..

Abortion has been in the news ever since the new Reps have gotten to Washington and in the states…..Jobs were suppose to be on the agenda, but has yet to make an appearance…….so this anal statement is about abortion…..

The Indiana House of Reps is debating a new anti-abortion bill……and to counter what a Dem had just suggested….Rep, Eric Turner (R) said:

I just want you to think about this, in my view, giant loophole that could be created where someone who could — now i want to be careful, I don’t want to disparage in any way someone who has gone through the experience of a rape or incest — but someone who is desirous of an abortion could simply say that they’ve been raped or there’s incest.

He did not want to disparage anyone and then went on to disparage them…….do Repubs know what they sound like?  Besides is that a problem?  People lying about rape to get an abortion?   Do they realize that every time one of them makes statements like this they are portrayed as a moron…an unfeeling moron?

Crap! Thought We Were Socialists!

From the VOMITORIUM

Keeping with the socialist theme…….

For a couple of years now…we liberals have been maligned by the Right for all too many reasons….because we do not agree with some of the more outrageous issues then were must be socialists in liberal clothing…..and of course since Obama is a black dude he has to be a socialist…..and since he wanted adequate health care for all Americans he must be a communist  and he even knew Saul Alinsky that would make him a Marxist….and just when I was getting use to the idea that conservatives thought me/us as socialists……my fav kook on the Right has to crap on my parade…..I mean Glenn Beck and his show…..

Far-right blogger Pam Geller was on Beck’s show and was talking about the possibility of Samantha Power could be the next Sec of State….Geller was most upset about something Power said when she was asked about the Israeli-Palestinian solution of a 2 state solution……

the mask comes off, and out comes Obama’s army of little nazis.  Power was asked what would be necessary to stop a move toward genocide by “one party or another” in the Israel-Palestinian conflict; she said it may require investment in a new Palestinian state and a “meaningful military presence.”

And then she resorted to her normal diatribe……example of Geller invoking Nazis to attack those with whom she disagrees. Geller previously accused President Obama of “go[ing] full on Nazi,” claimed Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is “an admirer of an architect of German national socialism, Nazism,” and called Democrats “National Socialists.”

So now I am a Nazi/ fascist….Since I do not agree with her on anything….that would make me a National Socialists…..at least the title has ‘socialist’ in it……we went from the far left to now the far right……damn!  We need to get our titles straight or we could confuse our opposition…..

I am so confused….will someone please make my mind up for me!

You May Not Want To Hear This

OR:  What Would Arab Democracy Look Like?

Inkwell Institute:  Middle East Desk……………..Subject:  Democracy/Labor/

As the sands of time…so go the days of their lives…….

This a follow up to my post on democracy in the Middle East from yesterday………

We are all aware of the happenings across the Middle East….Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, on and on….everyone of the countries is experiencing some form of protests even the normally calm Kuwait, where the government had to resign for being in opposition to the al-Sabah rulers….so NO country is immune from the dissent that is growing across the region……even relatively peaceful Morocco is having its social problems…..from al-Arabiya….

About 4,000 people demonstrated in Morocco’s biggest city Casablanca Sunday to demand more democracy and reform, an AFP reporter said, in the latest in a wave of protests.

Almost every country inb the ME is experiencing the trails and tribulations of a population that wants reform (possibly democracy…personally I think that is just a spin word for attention)….the problem is…what type of democracy are we talking about?

First of all, we will NOT see a American style democracy……if anything it will most likely look more like socialism (regardless whether you like or dislike socialism, in theory it is very democratic in operation….not talking about the communism of the old USSR but socialism…there is a difference)….why?

As I wrote in a previous post…there has been little to NO flirtation with democracy in the past in the ME…ergo there are NO political leaders with experience with democratic institutions….furthermore socialism is more in line with Islam (this is not a theological discussion)…..

The idea of a social emancipation is prevalent in Islam….the Quran teaches moral standards and a better way of the treatment of human relations…basically it teaches….do not exploit, be charitable, practice unselfishness….basically the Quran has set up a economic theory of opportunity and a fair distribution….not only does it teach religion but also ethical way of life…..within the Quran is an economic and social way of living…….there should be a reasonable minimum standard of living for each individual as well as a maximum level of affluence and between the two every individual is free to gain according to his ability.

“From each according to ability, to each according to his need”…..fits very well with the thinking in the Middle East…..and therefore socialism would make a perfect fit for the area  if and when they decide to try democracy…….

Democracy is most likely coming to the Middle East….but it may not be what the politicos were hoping for and then that will start a whole new conversation on battling cable networks…..

(Please remember that this is NOT a theological discussion, but rather an explanation of what could happen if democracy were to actually break out in the Middle East)
