Trump Trumping Trump - The Sphere of Hate Gets Even Larger

Pundits theorize that Donald Trump's 'staying power' is due to the fact that voters simply are fed up with the status quo. These same pundits thought Donald just a flash in the pan literally just a few months ago.

After Trump’s latest proposal to ban all Muslims perhaps we should consider another possibility for the Donald phenomena. He retains 25% of the republican vote because 25% of the republican voters are racist, bigoted, fear mongers just like the Donald.

Cowards All

Despite the fact that most survivalists deny global warming in order to go about their daily lives over consuming, over polluting, and mocking the scientists that present the evidence for it, secretly they think the world is going to hell one way or another, global warming, if true, just another threat, another zombie apocalypse, that they can prepare for in order to insure their own survival while watching the rest of the world get 'cleansed'.

Bombarded by the 24/7 news cycle and an ever shrinking, ever complicated, ever more confusing and frightening world, these cowards have given up on the future and their own children – replaced it instead with a 5th grade level fantasy of comfortable survival for themselves in their fortified bunkers complete with a never ending supply of Budweiser, while they watch their neighbors and the rest of the world die horrible deaths – by the billions. Nice fantasy. In the meantime, who gives a dam if global warming is real or not.

It takes courage to take on the problems of modern times in order to provide for a brighter future for our children. These ‘survivalists’ have given up, would prefer to crawl into their holes while watching their children’s futures dissolve into nightmare rather than try do something to avoid future disaster now – cowards all.

A Mockery of a Mockery

At first I was appalled. Donald Trump's entry into the presidential race - truly a mockery.  But isn't mainstream politics and the entire process that grinds, drives and spits out our presidential candidates already a mockery?

Oh watch the republican "leadership" squirm. The political pundits stammer and stomp. Trump's entry and early success truly a mockery of a mockery - and they know it. 

Hurray for citizens united. Hurray for the big buck business of electing our "leaders".  Hurray for the endless banter of pundits and the 24/7 news cycle making a buck while turning it all into a stage for the inane, insane, and the extreme. Hurray for Donald Trump for showing us just how ridiculous it has all become. 

Hats off Mr Trump. I have, thanks to you, now finally arrived at the point of saying to our entire modern day electoral mess of a process - you're fired.

Racist Nonsense and other Fun Facts

Asked a trivia question the other day.
Who discovered Hawaii?
So apparently it wasn't the Hawaiians
It was Captain Cook.
Voyagers from the Marquesas Islands to Hawaii some 1300 years before Cook don't count

They're still teaching this nonsense in schools

Your Greatest Love

He taught me how to love a woman
as he has loved you all these years
Seven decades of devotion, near unconditional love and tenderness
He worships you, admires you, and now finally cannot live without you

He approaches the end of his days 
feeble, nearly blind, deaf, and unable to rise
One thing still sure
His love for you strong, unwavering, constant through it all

So much of his care now up to you
try to not regard him a burden, a yoke
Ruining these last years
Honor him, honor all these years, honor this, your greatest love

Help him to his last days with tenderness, with grace
Do not struggle against it 
Embrace it
For soon a lifetime of love will finally slip away, forever

Rock him gently, soft kisses, patience, kindness
allow all the years of love, to flow, back to him
Through you 

It can only set you both, finally, free

Evil, Greed, and Sociopathy

Modern warfare exists for three basic reasons:

1. To repair, albeit temporarily, broken economies. 
2. To consolidate power.
3. To transfer wealth on a huge scale from the masses to the richest 1%.

Using fear, paranoia, and propaganda, all of which are draped in the flag, the people are manipulated to blood lust and war by the people in power who think war beneficial, to them.
Sadly, so easily done as regards war. 

To do so - the height of evil, greed, and sociopathy.

Boehner's Mandate

John Boehner has pointed to the recent congressional election results as some sort of mandate to President Obama that business as usual from him is not what the American people want.

I have very little respect for Boehner, his intellect, and I always know when he lies - his mouth is open. But even John Boehner knows what the real message of the last election was. It swung republican and extreme right only because most Americans didn't bother to vote. Disgusted with Boehner and his congressional colleagues - both republican and democrat, they just didn't bother. Reflective of their apathy, utter disgust, and lack of faith in congress and in our system of goverment, this last election cycle saw the worst voter turnout since 1942 - save for the fanatical right.

Of course Boehner knows this. Prior to the election he was all to aware of congress's 13% approval rating - and could of cared less. If he cared he'd have interpreted the approval rating and now the abysmal voter turnout as a mandate to congress. He doesn't - his political survival all that matters - after sating his greed, lust for power, and maintaining his staus quo.
