Thanksgiving

Let it Fall Off The Cliff!

I don’t know if it is because of the Holiday Season, the down after the rush or simply that I am in one of these moods where everything seems to be uninteresting. Perhaps I can attribute this feeling to being unemployed and therefore broke. I have no idea what is it, but I have not been too inspired lately.

Then, I turn the TV on and start hearing the comments from those on the Right, you know the ones… those that live in mansions and have more money than they know what to do with. I start hearing that in order for them to continue to operate their businesses they must cut the working hours of their employees.  Of course, they are not talking about the salaried employees – I am sure they would be happy to work less hours and receive the same pay – no, these sons of bitches are cutting the hours of their hourly employees, the ones that earn about $10 an hour, the ones that are struggling to survive. When asked why were they doing this, they blamed it on Obamacare. My ass, Obamacare does not go into full effect until 2014!

They are just throwing a temper tantrum because their Party LOST and the Right can’t accept defeat, they have never been able to handle it gracefully. They have a lot to learn from Democrats who have always accepted defeat with decorum, even when the win has been stolen from them as it happened in 2004.  We accept our loss, move on and set our eyes on the next election, we behave like adults, and they behave like brats. I’m sure it is very difficult for them to handle defeat when they invested so much money in their candidates’ campaigns, when they concocted every possible idea to obstruct Democrats from voting and they still lost the electoral votes and the popular votes by a wide margin. That must be a very hard pill to swallow!

I am sick that so many so-called “Americans” are signing petitions to secede from the Union. Who gives a damn about these traitors? Let them leave! It would be a much better country if they all would get a one way ticket to hell never to set foot on this land again… They are all just a bunch of losers who are so immature that they can’t even comprehend why they lost. They blame everything and anything but themselves. They fail to recognize that their actions and complete disregard of the working class, their racism and sexism, their absurd disregard about science and the environment as well as their obstructionism is what made them fail miserably and what people rejected, but they refuse to accept it or acknowledge it and even less rectify their ways.

Now, we are back again at the beginning: the fearful “fiscal cliff.” While Boehner lies with a straight face and publicly say that the Republicans are willing to work with the President to avoid a fiscal cliff, the very next day he nominates Paul Ryan, of all people, to be the lead of the fiscal negotiations with the President. We can be sure that the Republican Party is still playing the same games, the “my way or the highway” tactic. Paul Ryan is on record saying that he will not approve or agree to raise any taxes. He is all for saving money by cutting funds to “unnecessary” programs. Which programs is he talking about? That’s easy because he is quite open and blunt when it comes to his fiscal ideas, the “programs” he is willing to put on the chopping block are Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Social Security, Financial Aid for college Students, Education, Food stamps and any other program that was designed as a safety net for the poor. In a recent ABC interview with Jonathan Karl, Ryan had the audacity to say that the President has no mandate to increase taxes on the very wealthy, because the people retained the Republicans in the House. Not for long, I can assure you that!

These idiots have learned nothing, they refuse to recognize what the majority of the people voted in favor of, because this is not what the people that financially support them, that bought them, want to hear. The Republican Party sold their soul to the devil (Norquist) a long time ago and it’s a Party on the way to extinction unless they mend their ways.

In the meantime, the media is once more instilling fear in the American people with the financial cliff drama. The “financial cliff” is not the end of the world, actually it is a very nice and smooth ride and we should let the taxes fall off the proverbial cliff. Let them smash at the bottom into tiny pieces:

Hefty Tax Breaks were on the verge,

Hefty Tax Breaks fell off the fence,

All the rich Asses, and all the Congressmen

Couldn't put Hefty Tax Breaks together again!

Taxes will go back to how they were during the Clinton Administration. Let Congress fix the tax codes and close all the loopholes and then provide the middle-class with tax breaks in a retroactive manner. If this can’t be done, I rather not get a tax break than continue financing the rich to get more tax breaks with the excuse that they “create jobs,” they haven’t done so in over ten years.

Republicans don’t have a foot to stand on; this time around they have nothing to bargain with. The American people through their vote spoke loud and clear, we want fair taxation; it is time for every American to help move the country forward, because the working class cannot carry that burden alone!

When a Comment is Better than the Article

I've never done this before, I mean, turning into a post the comment made by someone to one of my articles; but this comment was so good, so brilliant that I decided to share it with everyone.  It is a shame that I can't give credit to the author.

To the idiot states who wish to "secede:" You can't secede. And, you won't secede. You morons are merely expressing your IMPOTENT anger at President Obama’s crucial re-election. Let’s recap that: President Obama got re-elected even with all of the Republican-driven voter fraud, the Republican-driven impedance of votes, the Republican-driven dumping of millions upon millions of dollars in to the SuperPACs for the SOLE purpose of BUYING VOTES. The Reality of the situation is that your states cannot, and will not, secede.

►We reverse the situation. We, the *MAJORITY*, who voted President Obama in a SECOND TERM, demand that all persons who support secession LEAVE United States soil, NOW. Take your cancerous carcasses, your brain rot and your damaged gene pool and vacate the land mass that is the continental United States of America. It is WE, who do not want YOU HERE. YOU are no longer welcome here. GET OUT NOW.

A) While the Constitution may not expressly forbid secession, the states that were on the losing side of the Civil War had to agree to adhere—in perpetuity— to the Reconstruction requirement that they never attempt to leave again in order to be restored to the Union with full rights. On top of that, in the 1866 treaty ending hostilities between the Republic of Texas and the United States, it was made crystal clear by the treaty and presidential proclamation (and backed by Congress) that NO state can leave the Union once joining. Period.

B) In order to protect from another secession and civil war, all states had to sign permanent loyalty agreements, especially the former CSA members. Any state government that tries to secede from the Union is automatically guilty of treason and those who brought about proposed secession would be arrested, tried, convicted and executed for their treasonous activity.

C) What these idiots fail to understand is that if they even COULD secede—which they can't—THEY WOULD BE DOING THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A *HUGE* FAVOR. We would LOVE IT IF YOU DID SECEDE. I, personally, would love it even MORE if you TRIED to secede and were put on trial and executed for treason, as would happen for attempting to secede. PLEASE. Try to secede. PLEASE! :)

Petition to exile those who wish to secede

Let Them Secede!

"WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Peacefully grant the State of _____ to withdraw from the United States of America & create its own NEW government

As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."

***

Forty-Two out of 50 states are collecting signatures to secede from the Union. You can find them at the White House Petitions Page and the signatures are growing by the minute.

I take this as a tantrum thrown by those sore losers that cannot accept having a black man running this country, and I should not waste my time on the subject but… I am fed up with their unpatriotic behavior, especially since we had to put up with their arrogance and claims of loving the country while implying that those of us that supported President Obama were traitors and unpatriotic. We put up with this crap for four long years and as it turned out, they are the ones that hate this country so much as to wish not to be part of it. I say, grant them their wish but with a twist.

Texas is a rich state, with plenty of oil and a shoreline. Texans have always considered their State as a Republic that is forced to be part of the Union but openly wanting to be a country in and by itself. Let’s grant Texas secession from the Union. Let’s give it to them. Then, every single individual that signed a petition to secede from the Union from each and every state should be stripped of their citizenship, their contributions to Social Security annulled and send them all to Texas. Needless to say that they can kiss their food stamps and welfare checks goodbye, after all, they hate “entitlements.”

These individuals will forever be forbidden to return to the United States and if they do, they will be arrested for illegally entering the country and charged with treason.

It would not be fair for those Democrats, Liberals and Conservationists that reside in the State of Texas to be stuck there, so we will grant them 6 months for them to sell their property and get their finances in order before they move to the United States.

The United States has Federal property in the State of Texas, which will remain property of the United States, such as the case with NASA until the year 2112. All military bases will be removed and all equipment, weapons and personnel should be relocated to the United States and this includes naval vessels, airplanes, helicopters, terrain vehicles, etc. All military bases should be stripped or demolished. The Republic of Texas should purchase their own stuff.

Members of Congress that wish to leave will be welcomed to do so; actually, I think we should encourage them. The same can be said about the Koch brothers, Donald Trump, Sheldon Adelson, Mitt Romney and family, Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch and everyone from Fox News.

Imagine what strides we can accomplish without all these negative people obstructing every attempt to move forward. Imagine how great this country would be without all these racist people. Imagine how peaceful we would live without these aggressive people around. The more I think of it, the more I like the idea!

We will remain with 50 States… Texas goes and Puerto Rico joins us. Long lives the United States of America!
