Finally, 2010 is over with all the heart ache, BS and total lunacy and now we come to 2011……a new year? Does that mean stuff will change? (pause here for rib hurting laughter)……..NOT likely…but we can hope….HOPE!…you know that stuff that we had at the end of the 2008 election cycle…..do NOT hold your breath!
Take a day to spend with family, food, fun and football…..and I hope we have a good year together, as good if not better than last year……

Merry Christmas, my friends…….
I really do not like calling people names….but as my grandfather said, “when you smell sh*t, you just have to say it”…….
I wish to apologize to any of my conservs friends who I may offend….with that said the Right just keeps filling up with morons….some new and others have been around for a long time…..and in that time one would think that they would learn a thing or two……but apparently, they do not have the mental capability to grasp facts, instead just make crap up as they go along with the hope that NO one will notice that the sh*t is getting deep…..
We already know that Limbaugh, Beck, FOX News and a wealth of Righties think or believe that Obama is a socialist….and they could give some facts that support their position….they would be wrong….but they could make a case for it…..but over the Thanksgiving holiday a couple of right wing morons have stuck another foot in their mouths….
First is John Stossel, who use to be a pretty creditable journalist….those days are gone!
“The Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony organized their farm economy along communal lines,” [John Stossel] continues. “The goal was to share the work and produce equally. That’s why they nearly all starved . .”
“When people can get the same return with less effort, most people make less effort,” he remarks. “Plymouth settlers faked illness rather than working the common property. Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions. Total production was too meager to support the population, and famine resulted. This went on for two years.”
The harvest feast that we call Thanksgiving was all about sharing a bountiful harvest…..do not think that had anything to do with starvation……Stossel is a MORON!
Next we have is Mr. Limbaugh, the mouth that will NOT shut the Hell up!
“The true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed. Of course we showed them gratitude. We shared our bounty with them. Not because we didn’t know how to make it. It’s because we first failed as socialists. Only when we turned capitalists did we have plenty. The Indians didn’t teach us capitalism.”
And then there is a Representative, one Todd Akin…..a supposedly informed individual that does the business of the country…
“It might be helpful to think back and say, there’s more to Thanks-giving than the Pilgrims. They were a group of people who were willing to change the system, to think of different ideas. They came here and separated civil and church governments. They came here and created the model of a written constitution, the idea that the government should be the servant of the people. […] They came here with the idea that after trying socialism that it wasn’t going to work. They realized that it was unbiblical, that it was a form of theft, so they pitched socialism out. . . we can remember their first Thanksgiving when they put a few kernels of corn on a plate to remind them of how close to starving to death they had been at one time.”
Okay people ….ONE more time……SOCIALISM as a form of government did NOT come into being until the 1800’s……lots of ideas, but NO government! Akin and Limbaugh join Stossel…….they are MORONS!
Just another indication that the conservatives will do and say anything factual or not to try and make a point…..
I will not lie to you…there were problems when the pilgrims first got here, but by the time of that first feast thing s were moving along famously….
Hey…OLD FARTS! Try opening up your mind and see these lying pricks for the useless lumps of crap that they are……you might find a new way of learning….it is called thinking!
The year is speeding along…seems like yesterday I was wishing everyone a Happy New Year….and look…in a blink it is Easter…..
First, do you know what I am giving up for Lent?……..(pause)…..Nothing!…I am not a Catholic……..
I would like to once again to thank my readers for their participation….they make the hours of reading and research all that worthwhile………a special thanx to Quin, Terrant and Chris……I appreciate all the thought provoking comments….
I wish that everyone have a great day and enjoys family, friends and food….I am taking a short pause from the mental masturbation and I will be back Monday……
Professor’s Classroom
Subject: American History
Tomorrow is President’s Day, a day set aside to celebrate of several of our most influential people. We Americans seem to want to celebrate those people that history says we owe some admiration for, for their deeds, words, etc. But the one person that has done more in the early years of the Republic gets NO admiration or respect or acknowledgment.
Let us look at George Washington—our first president and general of the Continental Army…..but he may not have even been a footnote if not for Thomas Paine…it was he that urged the Continental Congress to appoint Washington as the commanding general of the ragtag army. Then if he had not been the general of the army then it is feasible that he would probably not been the first president.
The DoI was the direct result of his ideas…think not? Then read the DoI and then read Common Sense….the DoI is a condensed version of the pamphlet. Jefferson may have hand written the DoI but the ideas were Paine’s and Paine’s alone. Jefferson did not have the passion of an idealist, Paine did and ALL of his works and writings prove this out.
The issue of slavery—- it was Paine’s anti-slavery writing of “African Slavery In America” in 1775 that lead to the FIRST anti-slavery association called ” The Society for Relief of Free Negroes, Unlawfully Held in Bondage”. It was founded in April 1775 in Philadelphia in the Sun Tavern on Second Street. It can be said that Thomas Paine was the Father of the Abolitionist Movement and the first person in America to speak out publicly against the despicable practice of slavery. But yet we celebrate Abraham Lincoln as the great savior of those held in bondage.
Paine also spoke out for justice for women, making him one of the first American feminist, he also championed an “old age” pension of American citizens and the education of all citizens especially the poor and he also called for a “Great Republic of All Nations” of the world, which could be the very concept of the UN.
And let us not forget, he , Paine, was the first person to call for a declaration of independence and he was the very FIRST person to use the term, United States of America. As well as his pamphlet “Common Sense” turned the population into a radical band of revolutionaries that demanded independence from Mother England.
With ALL these accomplishments, Thomas Paine has been ignored by American historians, which is a sad indictment of the reactionary attitudes of people that read the histories.
If there is ANYONE in American History that deserves a holiday or even a little recognition it is Thomas Paine…..who, by his very nature, made the “revolution” possible as well as a wealth of other things that can be attributed to him.. je has been ignored mainly because of the assertion that he was an atheist, which is one of history’s biggest lies like the lie the church has propagated for centuries that Mary Magdaline was a whore…..both are outrageous LIES….Paine was not an atheist he was a deist, he believed in God just not the trappings that organized religion would have us believe…..we as a country owe way too much to Paine and we have given him NOTHING in return……that is a pathetic indictment of the country….
Tis the season to be jolly….ah CRAP!….wrong holiday…..
I spend a lot of time reading, ‘riting and ranting…..so on a couple of occasions I take a day of ZEN….basically to give my brain a much deserved break…….I shall return on Friday…(we were warned)……I sincerely hope everyone has a great day and would like to say thanx to all those readers that participate…it makes all the hours of reading, ‘riting and ranting worthwhile…..
See you guys in the funny papers……Peace…out………
