Speaking of Mind Games…
I need everyone to look at this picture that I’m going to post. Now we all probably have different idea’s about these programs, which in itself isn’t a bad thing. Are they all necessary? That too can be a differing of opinion, again that isn’t a bad thing. Take a look at the picture, read it and gather your thoughts on each and everyone one of them.
Did you take a good look? Did you really honestly think about each and every one? Now we could all argue the merits or the imperfections of these different programs until we’re blue in the face. We most likely won’t find any absolute common ground on EVERY issue, that’s a given. Now I want you to look at this next picture. It’s the same one I posted ^^^ up there^^^ but cropped differently.
Now how do you feel about these programs? Would you be willing to abolish all of them? Think about the implications of wiping them ALL out for a minute. Again that can bring a huge amount of different opinions into the mix. Think about what would happen if we got rid of each and every one. Now let’s look at the same picture, again cropped differently.
Have you ever seen this before? Do you know whose platform it was back in 1980? It was David H. Koch’s platform when he was a Vice-Presidential candidate. One of the brothers that funded the Tea Party movement.
Now think about what is happening today. Even though our economy is in the tank, Republican’s and Tea Party members have done NOTHING to help it out. No job bills, zero with a capital Z is what they have done with the enconmy. They have been doing all their concentrating on abolishing these programs in the photo’s and others like them. Unions and minimum wage should be included in those lists, along with women’s reproductive rights.
Let’s take a look at a documentory that a Australian man named Taki Oldham directed. The original is 90 minutes long. This is just about 55 minutes of the film. For my video handicapped viewers, I have a link to a pfd transcript of the video.

For those that say members of the Tea Party movement are not racist, here’s the transcript and the woman’s own words.
“Angry Woman: I say not just impeach that asshole, put him in prison. He is communist, he is a racist, he is worse than Hitler. He says he wants to destroy the world, everyone that is white. That means Filipino’s, that means Chicanos, that means Irish, that means everyone that is not black – even though his stupid ass isn’t even half black.“
Does this sound just like someone we all know? I tried really hard to find where this woman gets her information from, but to no avail.
Let’s look at a link to an article about self described president and founder of the Tea Party named Dale Robertson.

Congress=Slave Owner
Taxpayer=Niggar
As the end of the article states…”So what we know so far is that he is a racist and a poor speller.” But come on, isn’t he just misunderstood? Maybe I have taken his own words out of context?
Have you every wondered why these people all sound alike? Could it be because of where and who they get their talking points from? One of the more disurbing aspects of the rhetoric are the lies. These people have no qualms about repeating the talking points that are flat out fabrications or so bloated in hot air they don’t even come close to the truth. I fully admit that these people make me feel sick.
What did Scott Walker, a candidate that was backed by the Koch brothers do when he was first elected? He gave Koch brothers a nice little tax cut, then went after the unions. All of the Governors can be linked to the Koch brothers that are going after Planned Parenthood, abortion and the unions. Hell, I’ll say it if nobody else will, they are in the Koch’s back pocket. These people are bought and paid for and here you have been doing their dirty work for them for FREE.
Let’s look at what Koch brothers have their hands in and a another link to who they back politically.

There are also some excellent links at the bottom of this next article.

I could sit here all day and show people link after link picture after picture proving that they are being used as pawns to freely lobby against their own self interest and the good of this wonderful nation we live in. I shake my head because I know there are those that refuse to believe that they are puppets for the corporate masters and will deny it until they have succeeded in destroying our nation and the very people that make it great. Don’t take my word for it, research all of this for yourself. There are link after links that will show you how you have been used. Really people, get a clue!!
Sigh…..
So this is the deal, prove me wrong.
You better come with facts or don’t bother,
I have no interest in your propaganda machine.
One last thought…
As I said at the beginning of the blog, we can all have different opinions on things and get along. The one thing I won’t stand by and watch is the constant lies and misrepresentation of, anything.
There are Muslim extremists just like there are Christian extremist. There are left-wing extremist, just like there are right-wing extremist. When people outright lie I’m damn well going to call them a liar. You want to use racist language, I’m going to call you a racist. You want to act like a bigot, if the shoe fits I’ll be calling you a bigot.
There is enough to argue or debate about without injecting wild Communist, Marxist, Muslim, Kenyan, Hitler, New World Order, birther, blah fucking blah, blah, blah into the mix. For those that can’t stop with the lies and conspiracy theory crap I just have a few things to say to you. Grow the fuck up and get a clue. Anybody with a working brain knows you are talking shit. Stop going into blogs and saying good job when you don’t even have a fucking clue. Start calling out your friends that lie every time they type a sentence. Not only do they make themselves look stupid, it makes you look stupid as well.
Have a nice day!!!!!!
Absolutely.
When you blog, you really blog, Lady Hart. I have always said that Ron Paul is a constitutionalist only if he gets to say which amendments remain and which ones we get rid of.
Excellent blog. ” By their words yea shall know them ” springs to mind.
LOVE YOUR BLOG Lady Hart………….brilliant…great video and links…agree with every word…..here is a break down for who ever doesn’t fully understand the danger we are in.
Behold, the Republican Tea Party Contract ON America!
One can only hope Democrats are prepared to remind the country of what Republicans have been up to this year when elections 2012 come.
Contract high points include:
1)Repeal the Affordable Care Act (Health Insurance Reform)
Put insurance companies back in charge, repeal tax credits for small businesses, allow insurance companies to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions and to drop coverage when a person gets too sick and make prescription drugs for seniors less affordable.
2)Privatize Social Security or phase it out altogether
3)Turn the guaranteed retirement benefits of America’s seniors over to Wall Street CEOs by putting Social Security at risk in the stock market or, as some Republicans have called for, phase out Social Security altogether and end a program millions of American seniors rely on for their survival.
4)End Medicare as it presently exists
5)Phase out and end Medicare as it presently exists for future generations of seniors — ending Medicare’s guaranteed health-care benefits for more than 40 million American seniors — and replace it with a voucher system which will result in higher premiums and fewer services for seniors.
6)Extend the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy and big oil
At a cost of nearly $700 billion, extend the Bush tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and big oil, which are set to expire and which have and will continue to explode the federal budget deficit.
7)Repeal Wall Street Reform
8)Roll back the toughest consumer protections ever enacted, allow banks to continue to grow too big to fail, and ensure that predatory lenders continue to utilize their most abusive practices.
9)Protect those responsible for the oil spill and future environmental catastrophes
10)Cap liabilities for those responsible for environmental disasters like the Gulf oil spill and let companies like BP decide which victims deserve compensation for the disaster and what the timeline for relief should be.
11)Abolish the Department of Education
12)Put the big banks back in charge of student loans and put an end to federal assistance for public schools.
13)Abolish the Department of Energy
14)End America’s investments in a clean-energy future and disband the organization responsible for oversight of nuclear materials.
15)Abolish the Environmental Protection Agency
16)Gut the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act — which together protect our kids from air pollution and keep drinking water safe — and disband the watchdog that holds polluters accountable.
17)Repeal the 17th Amendment
18)Take away your right to pick your U.S. Senator
That’s what they’ve promised. Not just a walk back to the Bush years, a walk back to another century. Perhaps they could repeal the Emancipation Proclamation, too.
Off to eat, rest…watch a little TV…..I’ll be back…..love and pugz!
I am disappointed. There is no mention of Illuminati Chem trails in this blog… Sigh. :love:
These days there is little difference between the Libertarian shut down the government and the Republican shut down the government. (unless they rule)
They are suggesting (some) THAT WE SHOULD ABOLISH CHILD LABOR LAWS and they are serious.
We is in big trouble here…
We need to repeal the 13th Amendment while we are at it. And which amendment gave women the right to vote? Jesus was that a dumb idea.
Meanwhile the rest of the world is marching right along.
Using science instead of denying it.
Producing goods and services instead of shipping them overseas in search of bigger profits.
Funding their citizens’ education because they understand that knowledge is power.
Implementing alternative energy sources on a massive scale for a future full of virtually free energy.
Meanwhile in America, we’re bringing the Dark Ages back in full force. Science is an evil liberal plot, yanno! Education is for pussies!
Wow, Lady Hart, I am genuinely impressed. This is a doozy. Wondered where you were going with the list at the top, very cool, lol. Gee, I gotta go read it over again.
It looks like you are set up for some serious debating.
I will say that the thing that pisses me off the MOST, are those who want to privatize schools and those who want the EPA eliminated.
Our kids have to LIVE in the world in our futures and need a clean environment and poor people need to be able to get an education too.
I agree that SOME things are ok privatized, but leave education the hell alone.
When I first registered to vote at the ripe old age of 18, I registered Libertarian. I’ll admit it was simply based on their personal freedoms thing (I was 18, lol). Then I started looking into what I signed up with and I just couldn’t get their ideas to play out past theory on a national level. Some things just have to be there. They may need fixing, but they need to be there.
So I changed my registration to Democrat. I vote for who I think will be better in the office (President, Govenor, County Commissioner, Dog Catcher) and have voted for someone in just about every party at some time or another. Unfortunately, the choice usually boils down to the lesser of two or three evils. Now thanks to the Republican Party and their Tea Party friends, I’m pretty much down to just two lesser evils. The running Democrat or None of the Above.
The True.
:entertained:
Debate dog sees what you did here…..
LH, from above.
As far as a voucher program and any type of charter program the way they work depends on how each state sets them up.
Yeah well I don’t care how many facts, links, or fancy shmancy pictures or comparisons you have. And that’s because I know that we’re right, and Glen Beck said so. You people with your education and intelligence… bah! What the hell do you know?! Bet you didn’t even know that there has been some talk that Obama is linked heavily to both the Taliban and Al Quaeda, and was working alongside Osama and the NwO in the World Trade Center attacks!
You people will never understand that we have God on our side, and you Christless commie lovers don’t. We will always outnumber you, and always have more good people willing to sacrifice all if necessary to do the good work that needs to be done to stop all the babykillin and all that other sick, heathen crap you liberals do. So what if you could fit the IQ of any two of us into one of yours? We’re willing to resort to violence in half a heartbeat to keep America beautiful and not let it fall into you damn Russian socialists hands.
When it counts… you folks always have a tendency to think, and consider consequences… We will act immediately, and without wasting any time thinking.
You’ll never beat us, plain and gaddamn simple. Glen Beck said so. Recognize- ya Christless Libtards! 😡
Hear hear! Well said!
Add me to the list that thinks this is a well written and powerful message Lady Hart.
I just wanna mention here in a self congratuitous (is that a word?)way that I was one of the ones (along with WBF) that kept bugging Lady Hart to start blogging here more.
And yeah… if I can’t manage to post anything worth a sh*t, I have no problem whatsoever trying to take credit for someone else’s entry on the flimsiest of justifications, or the total lack even. You can’t keep a determined attn whore down…
