Reality check, John Thune

Just wanted you to know that FACEBOOK is a private social media company. It can filter whatever it wants.

And no, the public doesn’t have a right to know. Your right wing thugs have proven that.

If it did then Fox News would be legally required to report the unbiased TRUTH when it reports the news. But a Florida judge said they had no requirement to do so.

So if a news corporation can make stuff up and report anything it wants, I think a privately owned social organization can filter any damned news it wants. If its users want more options, then they can go online to somewhere else and read anything they want.

BTW if you really believed this, you wouldn’t be supporting that fascist Drumpf.

What the fuck is wrong with this country?

I can’t believe that asshole Todd Aiken has bounced back in the polls. God save us if any of these bastards get elected.

And Willard Rmoney is still ENDORSING Richard Mourdock.

The Grand Obstructionist Party

Learning from history

Wordless debate

For all the Teabaggers and Repub1%can’ts who continue to blame Clinton and Obama, Liberals and Democrats, etc. for the debt. Here is a picture so you don’t have to move your lips reading the facts.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Anyone that votes Republican is voting against their own best interests. That makes them stupid.

The economy simplified.

The jobs crisis simplified.

Democracy for sale? More like SOLD!

Since it’s inception in 1973 and extreme right wing group called ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council has been influencing our government and laws more than any lobbyist or money can buy.

They’re responsible for Arizona’s SB1070 driven by both racist and monetary goals. Hey, two birds, right? This is what you get when you privatize prisons. I suppose it’s not surprise the KOCH brothers are heavily involved in this too.

Almost 25% of the laws enacted by Arizona were written by ALEC and were passed almost word for word. Because we’re electing representatives to STUPID or too LAZY to write their own and they are greedy enough to put money before the people of this country. Republicans have been funneling money to the for profit private sector for years. Hmmm. 1973?

So when you see collective bargaining gone, environmental regulations gone, minimum wage gone, child labor laws gone, public education gone, you’ll know who is behind it.

“The centerpiece of Task Force projects is ALEC model legislation. ALEC is the only state legislative organization that adopts policies and creates model legislation for its members to use in their states. To date, ALEC has nearly 1,000 pieces of model legislation.”

Go to ALEC and read some of their propaganda and you’ll understand why so many states are echoing each other. It’s all ALEC legislation designed to deregulate, privatize and then profitize EVERYTHING and all at the expense of the American taxpayer. That is, if you can find any page that isn’t restricted. For all of their talk about transparency, ALEC hides everything they’re doing. Until it’s been passed by YOUR state legislation and you’re screwed. These people are busy redrawing district lines right now. Don’t be surprised if they’ve rigged they system for a permanent Republican majority in every state plus both houses of Congress. Because make no mistake, it’s the Republicans that are owned by ALEC.

Who are our (Republican right wing) legislators getting cozy with? Or I should say who owns them and pulls their strings?

1973. Nixon. Ever wondered where the term “Moral Majority” came from? ALEC. Weyrich, Totten (friends with Reagan), Lukens, (Bribery, Conspiracy, sex with a 16 year old) , Jenkins (Iran Contra). The typical revisionist history has removed these names from the origins of ALEC. Moral Majority indeed. Who can we really thank for this obscene attack on democracy? Why, Ronald Reagan of course. ALEC goes fascist, or is corporatized in the 90s. Pay to play. Scientology contributes. Just in time for Karl Rove and Bush II.

And we were angry about K St. K St. has nothing on these Fascists.

Just wait until info on THE FAMILY goes viral.

Let this make it perfectly clear to those that can’t read 1000 words.

If you can’t beat them at their own game…

Social Security – the Big Lie

Don’t believe the Republicans big lie about Social Security!

If the Republicans cared about the deficit they’d do two things:

Cut defense by 50% instead of increasing it.

Eliminate tax breaks for the wealthy, both income and inheritance. (Oh, and bonuses and capital gains are INCOME so tax them accordingly.)

Are they doing that? NO. They are robbing from the poor to pay the rich.

Roll back the income tax on the rich to pre-Reagan levels. Inheritance tax too.

Pay back the money that was embezzled from Social Security by Reagan and the Republicans.

And don’t vote for any Republican every again. Ever. Remember that in 2012. 2014. 2016.

Here is more information from a commenter at Huffington Post.

You are absolutely correct! As an economist who has been researching and writing about Social Security for more than a decade, it is so refreshing to know that someone can tell the truth and not have the comment censored. What we are dealing with is THE GREAT SOCIAL SECURITY THEFT. The surplus revenue generated by the 1983 payroll tax hike was supposed to be saved and invested to build up a large reserve in the trust fund with which to pay benefits to the baby boomers. The surplus money was supposed to be used to purchase pre-existi­ng marketable Treasury bonds in the open market. If this had been done, the surplus money would have ended up in the pockets of the private investors from whom the government purchased the pre-existi­ng bonds and the trust fund would have $2.6 trillion in “good-as-g­old” default-pr­oof marketable Treasury bonds which could be resold in the open market to raise money with which to pay benefits to the baby boomers. When the first surplus revenue showed up in 1985, the government made a conscious decision to put the money in the general fund and use it for general government operations instead of saving and investing it. That is when the theft began.

The revenue generated by the 1983 regressive payroll tax hike was used to replace the revenue lost as a result of the Reagan income tax cuts. The net effect was a transfer of income and wealth from low and middle-income taxpayers to the richest ten percent of taxpayers. Absolutely none of the revenue from the 1983 payroll tax hike went to Social Security. It all went into the general fund and was used to pay for tax cuts, wars, and other government programs. Since the missing Social Security money ended up in the pockets of the rich, I propose that a special tax be levied against this group of taxpayers with the revenue specifical­ly earmarked for repayment of the looted Social Security money

The government has violated both the public trust and federal law. The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 included an amendment sponsored by Senator Ernest Hollings of SC. That law made it illegal for the government to continue spending Social Security money for other purposes. President George H.W. Bush signed the legislatio­n into law and then proceded to spend the money just like before.

Absolutely none of the money was “invested” in Treasury bonds or anything else. It was all spent, and once money is spent, there is nothing left to invest. What the government did is clearly illegal.
And we can’t use the term “borrowed” unless the money is repaid. If it is not repaid, it was clearly STOLEN.
