The Destruction of America via Evil Liberals

You hear that? It sounds like something is slowly burning. Smell that? That smoke coming from the middle class and it’s on fire, and fairly soon, it’s going to be gone. Why? Because the Tea Party and ultra conservatives wanted their country back.

Back to the stone age of the American way of life. Remember a time when it was okay for children to work seven days a week in horrible machine factories or when there were no regulations on what could or couldn’t be put in your food. Ever read Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”, remember that worker dude fell into the meat processing and his body was mixed with the other meat and placed into canned goods? Oh, I remember the good old times when women didn’t have the right to vote and blacks were 3/5ths of a person for taxation purposes [Edited 7 APR 2011, there you happy 'Anonymous'?].

I loved the time where there were signs that said “Irish Need Not Apply” outside prospective employer’s windows. Or how about the time where workers had no benefits, work more than 40 hours a week and loved the fact that there was no minimum wage – you worked for wages that were determined by your employer rather than you.

Or how about the time where people borrowed money in order to buy stocks. Oh wait, that still kind of goes on today only it’s for your IRAs, mortgages, car and student loans and credit cards among other necessities. Remember there were monopolies like Standard Oil. Our nearest comparison to the major trusts like Standard Oil back in the day is Wal-Mart, but it still has K-Mart to compete against even though we know who is winning. I don’t even know where there is a K-Mart in Columbus.

Or how about the time where xenophobes forced Native Americans on a death march even though they had the backing of the Supreme Court to stay in their homes. Andrew Jackson and his comrades didn’t care – the Red Man was a threat to everything they held dear – when something of emotional value is at stake, the highest laws and Court don’t matter at all.

Damn those liberals and their evil plan to take over America and destroy the good old times! President Lincoln was utterly wrong with the Emancipation Proclamation. That was the beginning of the end. Teddy Roosevelt’s soft speak while carrying a big stick helped him dismantle pure capitalism with the implementation of the Trust Busts and creation of another government bureaucracy like the Food and Drug Administration. Who needs clean food anyway if it’s in the way of making money. Unions – the true evil of all – actually want rights for workers? Please, that’s so communistic. A 40 hour work week, pensions and what, a minimum wage! Franklin Roosevelt is the Anti-Christ of America. He single handedly made sure old people couldn’t starve when retired. They should all just die or work. Disabled people get benefits too with Social Security? They don’t even contribute to society or can’t anymore therefore, don’t need the hard working man’s help.

When he was president, General Eisenhower was so pompous to have a 90% tax on the top 1% of the tax bracket – he redistributed wealth, a big no-no in our current time. And the former Supreme Allied Commander that defeated the Nazis signed the Kerr-Mills bill into law which was the forerunner of Medicare – paying 70% of medical expenses for those over age of 65. John F. Kennedy wanted to give poor people a chance through programs like the Great Society including Medicare and Medicaid, food stamps and failed due to his assassination, but his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson was the tool that pushed and signed it into law. Richard Nixon not only lied to Americans about Watergate but he met with communists and overtly worked with Democrats like socialist Ted Kennedy on creating a national health insurance plan that would cover all Americans. Nixon failed as Senator Kennedy and the future Clinton duo did. And Jimmy Carter actually put solar panels on the roof of the White House? What kind of hippie crap is that?

Ronald Reagan removed those liberal solar panels and became the greatest American that ever lived by trying to chip away years of socialistic programs instituted by those before him. He deregulated the financial industry, made sure that investment banks like Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs could do what they wished with their investors’ money. It is capitalism, baby! President Reagan insured that those who went on strike apart of some Union liberal plot for better wages namely in the case of Air Traffic Controllers, would be fired for their nonsense. Corporations could dump waste into any river they wanted, create profit boosting chemicals pumped into our food and ship the jobs overseas. Cutting another evil government entity – education is a primary concern for today’s real conservatives like Reagan and current Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Even Bill Clinton, who usually was a liberal bastard, continued the same policies as real conservatives as his predecessor (George H.W. Bush) and successor (George W. Bush).

The latter is one great man. He got the wealthiest Americans an awesome tax deal, further deregulated financial industry so they could borrow up to 31 times their own value (imagine if you made 10k a year and you could borrow 310k to do with what you wished, how awesome was that for the investment banks!). And he was a compassionate conservative too. When those investment banks and subsequently the insurance companies insuring them failed, he did the empathetic thing by forgiving them and pushing for their bailout. It was the right thing to do for the richest and most reckless group of individuals on the planet. Never mind the millions of people, companies and even entire countries that fell into their scams and lost everything including their jobs, retirement/pensions as well as their homes – it’s their fault for losing everything. And Iraq, he did the right thing by taking out Saddam Hussein, a vital security threat to the United States and its allies; we’ve spent $1.5 trillion so far making sure Iraq is stable after the power vacuum.

And now, Republican governors and legislators are taking back the country from a Muslim Socialist, President Obama and the liberal followers. Gov. Scott Walker did as his idol Reagan did, ignored the mass protests and demonstrations by firefighters, school teachers, cops and students, ignored procedural law, signed and implemented the union busting bill. It’s the darn teacher’s fault for the budget crisis in Wisconsin. He’s leading the way for like-minded leaders in other states like Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and Ohio’s John Kasich.
And they’ve only begun to take back the country. I am rooting for them. As a patriotic American I want to see the working class not have the right to organize, see the poor get off their lazy butts, stop collecting food stamps and have Medicaid for their kids because it’s socialist. I want the top 1% of the tax bracket receive further tax cuts. We need to abolish the Health Care law passed last year - 47 million Americans can do without health insurance again and can be turned down for policies if they have a preexisting condition. This and more. Way more. It’s only the beginning for us tea baggers and the pot is not even at boiling point. Want a fresh cup of tea America?

Rep. Michelle Bachman, my hero and hopefully the next President of the United States!

  4. The Three-Fifths Compromise didn't give Blacks any rights; it simply stated that slaves were worth three fifths of a person for representation (which the slave states wanted) and three fifths of a person for taxation (which the free states wanted). They were still slaves and--even when freed--couldn't vote.

    Sorry, Jax, but the "...you worked for wages that were determined by your employer rather than you"

    In what occupational specialty are *you* the one to determine your wage instead of your employer? The employer still sets wages; it's the applicant or employee's choice to accept or not.

    Self-pricing is a self-employed specialty, but that doesn't qualify as proof of principle.

    "He (FDR)single handedly made sure old people couldn’t starve when retired." Yes, but he started the program off two generations in debt by allowing the then-seniors to draw immediate benefits, although they, too, never contributed to the plan.

    "...Never mind...even entire countries that fell into their scams..." Omg, What a bunch of crap! In 1971, Nixon removed the US from the gold standard. That move was the primary but not sole cause the Bretton Woods currency exchange system--that regulated exchange rates based on relative value of gold per currency. That system failure caused, through steps, levels, actions and reactions, foreign countries to link their currencies and economies the those of the United States. Bush, I loathe to say, did not cause other countries to suffer the same economic demise generated by all via the Crash of 2008.

    "Bank deregulation, mismanagement and pomposity" wasn't an American invention! Georgieboy W. *did* have the option and fiscal responsibility to slow or stop the devaluation of the USD in the forex markets and refused to do so. But the US or its various leaders caused any country's economy to go bust. :P

    re: Wisconsin. Um... Jax? Try finding the *rest* of the story and getting *all* the facts, eh? Walker inherited the massive, massive state debt that was about to fold the government. It was days from failure. ...That tidbit is a starting point for the research. I'm not saying I agree with the action, but at least I know how to research and consider both sides before making up my mind.

    Oh, wait. That's right. As a former Senator stated amidst one of the deepest political scandals and failures, "Don't confuse me with the facts! I've made up my mind!"

    lol...This one: "...I want to see the working class not have the right to organize, see the poor get off their lazy butts, stop collecting food stamps and have Medicaid for their kids because it’s socialist..." is one with which I can only agree, and I "omg, laugh" as I do so...lol.

    Again, "Um...Jax?" The Supreme Court has already heard the appeal. It probably won't render the Court's decision until next year, but the "abolish" attempt started shortly after the law went into effect.

    Oy, vey, I really should remember to reread before I click 'post.' Work with me on the erased-in-error missing words, eh? Intent's there.
