Welcome to A.Citizen’s New Home!

As small blog where, as far as I can tell, I am free to say what I want to say how I want to say it. Politics is a full-contact sport. People get hurt. Physically, financially, morally and their psyche’s take a beating upon occasion also. If you are of such a sensitive fame of mind that you’ve had problems with my content, syntax or scatology….

Leave now.

It’s only gonna get worse because we, real progressives from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, are surrounded by enemies. McSame doin’ his little jig of smear…smear…smear…

And much, much worse the illegitimate ‘nominee’ of the ‘Democrat’ Party who has used every slimeball tactic known to politics and one he stole from the WingNuts, that would be the ‘believe’ schtick, to convince the American people that he already is President….their vote just a formality. Not only is this false, as the non-Kool-Aide guzzlers understand, but in fact Senator Barack Obama is not yet, and may never be the nominee. Yeah, shut UP with the calls for the tin-foil hats. You are only exposing you own abysmal ignorance, albeit encouraged and nourished by Barkey and his pet press mutts, about what’s actually happened and what can happen in the Democratic Nomination process. read on to see what I am talking about.

But before we can get to that I need to introduce a fellow blogger. A woman of far greater stature than I in the growing state of NoBamaLand a seething mass of outraged folks who’d the likes of ‘The Committee of Three’ would just as soon you never heard of. Heidi Li Feldman, Joint Degree in Law and Philosophy; Professor of Law,  A.B., Brown; J.D., Ph.D., University of Michigan and is that a mouthful or what. Not even ‘Barkey’  Obama can match that…not even close. Take the time to read this page. BRAG posts by me are not for the lazy; one page of type too much for ya head on back to the HDTV and suck down another Budweiser still a shitty beer but at least it ain’t American no more. I hope you do take the time to read the little bit about her, love that part about ‘bullshitting and the law…’ because this post is just about all her! I luv it! Here’s the lede para:

For the most part, I find Senator Obama boring. So usually in this space I do not write much about him directly. But today Senator Obama played a little trick that reminded of the person who I think of as his nearest political relative – Richard M. Nixon.

Whoa! Bitch must be crazy right? I mean come on….Nixon and ‘The One’. Clik on thru read the whole thing and admit it. She nail’s Obambi’s hide to the barn door where it’s stink drifts away as it dries in the sun.. Yep, go ahead and read it. Then tell me why she’s wrong in the comments. They work here at B.R.A.G. and the new, improved A.Citizen expects, even demands, that you respond if you have something to say.  As my sainted Daddy usta say, ‘Speak up son I cain’t hardly hear ya.’

Stay tuned there is an almost endless line of bloggers, the vast majority of ‘em women, who will be appearing hear to let you know that they are done eating shit for:

‘The Precious’

‘The Boyz in the Blogz’

Howard Dean

Donna Brazile

Tweety

And I’ll even kick the dead stinking corpse of PumpkinHaid a few times just for the hell of it.

Yep, as the Great Yogi once said: ‘It ain’t over ’til it’s Over’

And it ain’t over.

I thought Senator Obama was going to ‘Unite” us….

Here is someone who does not see  it quite that way:

In response to Obama’s claim that Republicans will use race to stoke fear, Lt. Col Allen West, candidate for Congress in Florida’s 22 District issued this release: (Clarice Feldman)

“My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone…however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.

It also seems rather humorous that the Presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a “uniter” and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand, any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years.” Lt. Col Allen West

I post this not because I like Republicans but because I’m kind of partial to the truth and…well, Obama is the sort of liar I thought we’d only see once in a generation. We elected Bush. I don’t think the nation can take another lying, empty suit in the W.H. And seems like a lot more folks are coming to that conclusion.

Draft the person who got the most votes.

How’s Yer Pocketbook like that ‘Diversity’ We got…

Way back when Edwards was still in the running I used to try and talk about this issue. Nobody cared. It was all about ID politics and the wonderfulness of a woman and a black man running for President. Well, we got that out of the way. Now what?

Are we gonna keep on with our ‘national dialogue about race..’ maybe tack on the word ‘gender’ to that? Before you all start clapping and cheering check this out:

‘But only 7% of US households earn more than $150,000; only 18% earn more than $100,000; more than 50% earn under $50,000 (7). Once you have Democrats who consider people on $200,000 as middle class and in need of tax relief, you don’t need Republicans any more. Clinton and Obama are the emblems of a liberalism which has made its peace with a political ethics that will combat racist and sexist inequalities, while almost ignoring inequalities that stem not from discrimination but from exploitation. The candidates’ death match prominently features charges of racism and sexism.’

That’s from an article by Walter Benn Michaels is professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago you can read here……..

Next time we will be talking about GINI, that’s not a person and ‘she’s’ not gonna be Obama’s Veep, what it is and why you aren’t happy with the way things feel.

The Results are in…..

Delegates Votes

Clinton 1916 17,802,300

Obama 2154 17,501,751

If you liked 2000 you’re probably happy with this. Or….maybe not… Hillary is now being attacked, yet again, here is an excerpt from No Quarter; first Roger Simon of The Politico:

But her fighting words only increased the need for Obama to show that he can be strong, tough and in charge. Clinton’s unwillingness to recognize Obama as the victor only increased the need for Obama to act like
a president and not like a doormat. And denying her a vice presidential slot may be a way of doing that.

Next PaganPower of No Quarter:

And according to Simon, Obama is not going to be wasting his time trying to bring Hillary supporters into the fold.

It has been a hard-fought and sometimes bitter campaign, but Obama is not, one of his senior advisers assured me Tuesday night, going to spend a lot of time in the next few months wooing Clinton supporters whose feelings may be hurting.

“I think there are always immediate feelings of disappointment and anger,” Anita Dunn said. “But in the months ahead, he must appeal not just to the constituency groups who favored her in the primaries, but those he wants in the general election, and that includes independents and Republicans.”

Another Obama adviser, who asked not to be identified, said that he was not worried that Clinton supporters would stay angry.

Obama seems to have adopted the Alfred E. Newman “What, Me Worry?” campaign slogan. He does look a little like ole Alfred. In fact he looks a lot like him if you think about it. Especially those ears. And a MAD candidacy is all too evident.

Then the scary stuff begins.

“At the end of the day,” he went on, “Hillary supporters will look at John McCain and decide they are not going to vote for a man who will put judges on the Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v. Wade.”

I know it may come as a shock to Obama supporters but the President does not put justices on the Supreme Court. That is done by the US Senate. The same Senate now controlled by the Democrats that gave us the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts. So enough with these false boogeyman stories. They are all lies. But then again lies have been the core theme of the Obama Cult and their DNC and MSM enablers.

It is stories like these that we will all see in the coming weeks. Because the MSM (Obamedia), the DNC and the Obama Cult are going to do everything they can to minimize our importance. To them, nearly 18 million Americans that supported Hillary are inconsequential. As Hillary said of Bush, the same applies to Obama. And his political team made it very apparent last night.

To Obama we are The Invisible. He doesn’t care about us. He isn’t going to spend his time wooing us. He would rather try to make up the difference with Republicans. Now thats a Democratic party to be really proud of. Something I am sure Howard and Donna fully approve of.

PaganPower’s point about SCOTUS is right on. The fight for the Supreme Court is over. Obama helped put Roberts and Alito on the court; another example of his great judgment we hear so much about. Like voting for every single supplemental appropriation Mr. Decider has ‘requested’ for the Iraq ClusterFuck. The Corporatist wing of the Rethugs is in charge now and they have got what they want on SCOTUS a bunch of folks who believe that America must be made safe for any corporate excess deemed necessary for ‘maximizing shareholder value’ they are not going to let the Evangelicals fuck things up by overturning Roe vs. Wade. All of which is by way of saying SCOTUS is lost to progressives for a generations and Obama helped that happen. STFU about how we need him to ‘protect the court’. It’s delusional talk.

Bottom line: Obama, as he has all along, views any dissent from his views exactly as George W. Bush does. Of no importance and something that he can and will ignore. Welcome to the New Fascist Democratic Party™™. Hope ya like it. ‘Cause according to Obamacans, ‘There is no choice…’

Uh…Senator…Kos….Chis….Tweety….Mr. Russert….

It’s not over ’til the votes are cast, and presumably counted although with Obama…that is not a foregone conclusion, what a freakin’ concept! Here listen to the lady here:

Sure looks ‘beat’ don’t she. I think Senator Obama is in for a fight.

Man, what could be better than a knock-down kick ‘em in the goolies Convention fight. Let’s see and hear the policies from both sides. No more hiding and blowin’ smoke from Barkey…a clear first 100 days from Sister Beelzebub.

I just loves me some Democracy in action.

You are not gonna like this…I sure did not…but….

Just as I blogged about President Death and the Treason of Rove & Co. I’m gonna keep on blogging about those threats I see to our way of life, fat and wasteful as we are, I believe the American way of life has much more good in it than bad.

But you out there.

You had better start doing more than just pay attention, although that will do for nice start. Jane, spine of steel that woman has to be posting these clips in this atmosphere, shows us a variety of opinions on yesterday’s actions by the Democratic Party to ‘fix’ what is now being called ‘The ClusterFuck’. This first clip is  pretty much were I am at at the moment. Be sure, absolutely sure you watch the last one.

A poster at No Quarter makes good catch on the affairs of our ‘Demcorat’ Party and their adherence to their own rules.

I leave you with Sinclair Lewis:

‘…Fascism will come to America wrapped in a flag and carryining a cross…’

I’ve taken to adding a little couplet…with apologies to A. Pope to my comments….

..made in the threads. It goes like this:

Think for yourself.
Don’t believe everything you hear.

And frankly was intended as a gentle way to get Obamafans to do just what the words say. But in all fairness….

There are quite a few folks out there who could profit a great deal by taking my advice.

If you do check this out be sure and read the comments and yet more ReThuglican tax cant and how it works will become clear to you.

And if you think because you have a TeeBee and can afford to drink all the beer you want then please…..

Move along, nothing to see here.

Yo! Keith! This American has a ‘Special Comment’ for yah!

This one’s for you also Mssrs. Kos, Bowers and Marshall. I doubt me that this young lady drives a Beemer or is a member of the ficticious ‘creative class’ but hey! She might do both.
Unlike you she and I are not so wedded to our stereotypes that we no longer recognize ‘so-called reality…’ remember that pals?

This is one reason that Barry’s  mentor Crazy Old Joe wants to….get rid of YouTube. See, the ruling classes, especially the white guys in their $10,000 suits don’t like to be dissed at all. And certainly not by no
young black woman, you dig? Yeah, Joe I know you’re telling everyone it’s to stop the Tehhahists. Puleeeeeeeeeese, puhleeeeeeeese, fuck yourself Joe.

What an Act of Citizenship looks like…..

Ambassador Joe Wilson’s very entertaining talk on Neocons, America, patriotism, and Republican traitors:

And here’s the rest in order:

Part II

Part III

Part IV

Part V

Amazing the ‘Boyz on the Blogz’ don’t have time for this. I guess Sister Beezlebub’s plan to have Senator Obama assassinated is taking all their time and attention.

I’ve met Joe Wilson and talked with him. Every American should be proud that we have such men, and women like him, to stand up for our nation’s principles overseas and increasingly important…..

…..here against the face of Fascism which has taken root in our soil and bids to block out the sun of liberty were it not for such as Joe Wilson.

Take a look in the mirror tomorrow morning and ask yourself, ‘What do I intend to do to support such as Ambassador Wilson in the fight against American Fascism, wherever it may be found? What is my answer to B. Franklin’s question?’
Because folks, like it or not, your answers to those questions will determine if you children live free or as slaves.

I guess I just have too vivid of an imagination…..

See folks are yellin’ at me about what a disaster McSame would be and how Roe vs. Wade and SCOTUS are at stake. And yeah maybe they are right but I just keep thinking.

There could very well be worse things ahead if certain folks can take power. Yeah, see…I can imagine that figure Sinclair Lewis warned us about. You know the one who was coming
to take power,

‘….wrapped in a flag and carrying the Cross.’

Remember that warning, he made that prediction circa 1930, about Fascism coming to America, said nothing about whether the Fascist Leader was to appear from the right or……

….the supposed Left.

Think for yourself and then:

‘Fight Back!’
