I endorse all these folks. Check out their site for their platform and decide for yourself.

Let me explain something to you folks out there in the ‘sphere…..

I’m doing this blogging thing for several reasons. One, I enjoy writing and the research is also fun. I like finding out new stuff. Two as a veteran of American politics for over 40 years, most of it under the jerry-rigged Fascist state the ReThugs have assembled….yes malcontent it is jerry-rigged if it wasn’t I’d have gone to the firing squad decads before you ever met me, I think I’ve got a perspective to offer. You may disagree that’s your right which I will defend. And if anyone reading this want’s to write a post or posts attempting to refute what I’ve got to say…In the words of our Great Leader: ‘Bring it On!’

Now, I am worried, deeply worried as I have never seen a movement quite like Obama’s. I suppose such did exist in opposition to FDR and perhaps Lincoln at no other time, including McCarthy’s, do I think we faced as grave a danger to our freedom from within.

The Senator whose campaign went from ‘Yes we can!’ to ‘Why won’t the Bitch Quit!’ Intends to declare victory in the Primary contest next week. This despite not having the votes to do so. Now here is where I separate myself from many who support him. It’s not so hard to understand.

I am a Democrat. A proud working-class Democrat who knows the value of work and who knows who built the infrastructure that the clueless ‘creative class’ many in the blogosphere think they belong to.

Got that?

Now….

Democrats count all the votes. They do not, for any reason, much less the Republican controlled legislature moving Florida’s primary up through a bill they new many Dems would feel they needed to vote for not count the votes. Not counting the votes is something Republicans, and Obama, say is perfectly acceptable.

It is not.

Here’s a nice YouTube mashup that will show you  some fellow Democrats expressing themselves on the subject of being disenfranchised. Watch it. Think about what is going on here and as malcontent would ask, ‘Cui Bono?’

And don’t worry the Electoral College analysis post is coming.

While the ‘Boyz on the Blogz’ rant and rave about Sister Beezlebub….

One blogger is turning out a level of commentary that you would think would be found in the NYT. Well, we all know why that’s never gonna happen but here…

Here’s some blogging as blogging ought to be. As T. Jefferson, of B. Franklin or S. Adams would have turned out if they lived today. Blogging so good that I, A.Citizen, confess to being slightly jealous. The opening paragraph:

‘When historians and political scientists look back at this election, they will not primarily be concerned with who won. The phenomenon to be explained will be the unhinged attacks upon Hillary Clinton (Sister Beezlebub) from the Left.’

Please read the rest it’s one of the most informative posts on why Clinton’s have had so much trouble, yeah I know he should have kept his dick in his pants but JFK got away with a lot more and paid no price, with their narrative and what it means in our culture. It’s all right here in: ‘The Whiteness of the Whale’ And yeah, she is referring to Melville. Eat your worm-infested heart out David Brooks.

Note: If you are not sure who the ‘Boyz on the Blogz’ are use teh Google or check my post: Censorship, The Committee of Three and a Warning from the Past.

Our facebook pal and noted progressive author Jeffrey Feldman is coming to ‘Brain Food’!

The author of:

Framing the Debate: Famous Presidential Speeches and How Progressives Can Use Them to Change the Conversation (And Win Elections)

I’m a proud owner of that one has another book out:

Outright Barbarous: How the Violent Language of the Right Poisons American Democracy

And he’s coming to Oakland in May for a ‘Brain Food’ meetup. But first he and I want to invite you to his facebook Onliine Book Launch Party. It’s on May 1 at 9:00 am thru 5 pm so there’s plenty of time to ‘sneak’ online and party down with us. If you already belong to facebook you can RSVP here. If you don’t you can register here, it is free, and you can then join the Oakland Drinking Liberally Chapter here. We’d love to have you join us there as we will be firing up our ‘Fire the Tortorer Yoo’ campaign using a facebook application and it would be great to be able to get people from all over the country involved in our campaign to persuade the boneheads at Boalt Hall who see no problem in have Yoo ‘teach’ law that there is a problem inherent in having an advocate of breaking the Geneva convention on their faculty.

Flash Update: We should have the time and date finalized this week and I will be posting that and more. If you are in the area stay tuned Jeffrey does a great presentation and his ideas about framing and communicating the progressive message are first rate!

‘Democrat’ Party now totally delusional…..

I really don’t know what to say…..

Barry loses to Hillary in PA and now trails by a minute amount in the popular vote and the calls for Hillary to quit are getting quite hysterical. Now it would be one thing if Barry could win in the GE but….well, that’s just more delusional.

Looks like to me that unless the SuperDelegates really step up and do their job we are going to have more of McSame come the fall. At least Hillary shows no sign of giving up and is taking on more money at a great clip. Historians are gonna have a lot of book material from this clusterfuck of a primary.

Me?

I’m still disgusted.

But it would appear that the electorate is trying to send a message. One the Dead Loser Caucus just doesn’t want to hear.

Note: If Elizabeth Edwards endorses Hillary this thing will be over and The Magic Man can take his sexism and arrogance back to Chi-Town.

The Democratic Party….Too stupid to live?

Barry running around screaming, ‘If you don’t support me you are a racist.’ Sister Beezlelbub telling us McSame won’t be as bad as The Decider…Du’oh! Yep all the stupid things you expect from The Circus, my new nickname for party politics in America and why not they got Elephants and Asses in the circus do they not…lots and lots and lots and lots of clowns too, and maybe even some things you did not expect. Like Oprah! or Bill Clinton, racist dog, but here is where reality meets the road and to the progressive movement’s loss.

No more Rockridge Institute. Nope, all gone and could have been put on a regular footing for I estimate .000000001 per cent of what Barry spent on ads calling Clinton a Beeotch.

Oh, well….’hope’, ‘change’ and all the rest will be what we have to work with. Funny how this is all working out. Barry runs and we end up with a semi-deserted blasted heath where once a thriving progressive community stood. ‘Crazy Joe’ is doing cartwheels I am sure.

If you find my take on Barry a little harsh; well, his campaign was just bragging about raising 1 million in one minute to spend losing in PA and he will, not doubt, raise millions more to lose in the GE assuming he gets that far and the Grand Poo-Bahs of the ‘Demcorat’ Part will wonder why they continue to lose a Republican Party which is never shy about spending money on infrastructure. They just luvs them some ID politic even though the Rethugs regularly clean their clocks whenever they, the ‘Demcorat’ Party, try to use same.

Now, I wonder why that is.

Thanks Dead Loser Caucus.

Intoducing a Blogger I find to be very, very good….

She is to be found at: Anglachel’s Journal ‘You say I’m a bitch as if that were a bad thing…’ obviously a lady who is not…shy. She’s going on the blogroll, soon to be purged of sexist scumbags and other pests, but here’s an introductory post about….heh…..History….snort….yeah, one of my favorite subjects. Hey, read yer Santana.

‘Why am I so concerned about the way “radical” and “far left liberal” are being used in the blogs? First, I’m kind of pedantic when it comes to political definitions. These things mean something to me in a way they might not to ordinary readers. They have histories, they refer to specific modes of thought and action, and they are intended to have analytic power. More importantly, as I ended the last post, these labels have been used maliciously against Democrats by the Right in an attempt to distract voters from the core policies and actions of the party, measures that are far more harmful to Republican power than some upper-class idiot with too much time on his hands pretending he’s a “revolutionary” and killing people. It matters that we use language correctly and understand the various radical modes of action on the Left so that we can be effective radicals ourselves. In the current political environment, to promote humane, egalitarian and moderate policies is to be radical.’

Bold by me. Clik on thru and read the whole thing. She’s a very good writer indeed and comes to us from riverdaughter over at The Confluence which as you know, if you’ve been keeping track that is, is a blog resulting from the progressive radiation away from such cesspools ad dKos, TPM and OpenLeft. I’m really looking forward to reading more from her. Beats the sound of Barry sticking one of his feet in his mouth.

Flash Update: She, uppity bitch, defines Barry in terms of her Truman/Stephenson model. Sadly, Barry does not fare well here.

Hillary want’s to go back…back to….well let her tell you….

Here’s what Hillary the Monster is talking about recently in PA:

HARRISBURG, PA. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton nodded knowingly last week as Joe Rebarchek described his struggle to pay for his oldest daughter to attend Villanova University and still save tuition money for his two younger children.

"I hear about this everywhere," Clinton said at the Capitol Diner, her voice tinged with sadness.

The New York senator looked across the crowd of supporters in the ’50s-style dining room with flying-saucer-like lights and said she was able to go to law school nearly 40 years ago only because she had a low-interest loan from the government.

"At that point in this country’s history, we made a really big investment in young people," Clinton said. "That was a part of what our country did. And I want to get back to that."

Read the whole article here in the Los Angeles Times and remember….

We report but you are the ones who have to decide.

Tune in next week for another gripping episode of: Sister Beezlebub vs. Senator SnakeOil.

Our First Woman President? We report you decide……

Barry…Senator Obama….What say you sir?

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((crickets)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Do you hear what she is saying?

U.S. out of Iraq starting NOW!

And…Genurul ‘Betrayus’….Sir, bloviate all you want abut ‘military calculus….’ yadda…yadda….yadda….’ Sir,

General you are never gonna get the citizenry to agree that 2 + 2 = 5. That might be ‘The Math’ for bonehead losers like
yourself and your boss ‘The Decider’ but the rest of us know better….

Yep and we also know just what we think of this guy.

Asshole, no doubt but folks are, as they are apt to do, moving on to a new opinon about Mr. Decidedly Stupid and his Sidkick ‘Shooter’.

That purchase of a big chunk of Paraguay by the ‘D’ man is starting to look like a good idea.

Were I you Generul, Sir, I’d start looking for a nice fat gig at General Dynamics. For you, Sir, medals and all are going under the bus.

Real soon.
