Our Corrupt Defense Minister

Why are we, as Canadians, not outraged and demanding the immediate resignation of defense minister, Peter MacKay? We, the taxpayers, should not be paying for a military helicopter to transport him on his personal fishing trips. Why is nothing being done? The media has even seemed to completely forget about this. He's a low life who tried to diminish military pensions, has sent our young people into battle in Afghanistan when that conflict has nothing to do with us and he's spending our money on pleasure trips. This is ridiculous. Canadians were loved all over the world as "peace keepers" and this jerk is ruining our image in the world. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS GUY PEOPLE! Where is our voice?

Scary Stuff

I was angry and frustrated and now, I’m beginning to get frightened.

It seems that every single one of the Republican primary runners is insane. They are religious fundamentalist fanatics who, clearly, care only about the ultra-wealthy. Those two concepts alone are polar opposites. The Jesus character that all of these people go on about, was a Socialist. He cared most for the poor and needy and overturned the tables of the “money changers” in the “market”. He was militant about economic inequality and expressed it over and over again.

It says a great deal about a society who demonizes the hard-working class and venerates greedy, wealthy oligarchs. Fox News pundits are openly biased, bigoted and racist. The comments you hear from them and their guests, literally make one's jaw drop. The latest was something Jon Stewart clearly outlined in a comic performance. The Fox News people were outraged that poor people (who make under $25,000 a year) actually own a refrigerator (correction 99.6% of them own a refrigerator) and they don’t pay taxes... Ooooo! Do they think we don’t notice that the ultra-rich don’t want to pay taxes on their private jets? They would rather the poorest people in the nation pay all of the taxes. Their buzz words are frequently spewed such as “successful”, “productive” and “job creators”. Are they completely loonie? Who, in their right mind, thinks that someone sitting in an office signing papers, or on the golf course in a “meeting” (wink, wink) works harder than a Latino in a restaurant washing dishes? These Republican crazy people should go back to grade school to learn what the definition of “hard work” and “productivity” is. They commonly fake outrage that the rich are picked on and the poor are a drain on society. Who the hell do they think did all the hard work that made the rich, rich? It certainly wasn’t the likes of Paris Hilton.

The fact is, 25%... that’s 1 in every 4 (for those of you who can’t count)... of Corporate Executives are psychopaths (“The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson). A psychopath, to summarize, is a selfish, self-centered, unempathetic, unfeeling person who is capable of extreme cruelty without a twinkle of remorse. 25%! And these are the people that Republicans support and praise. I probably wouldn’t be far from the truth to say that many Republicans are probably psychopaths themselves.

You have Rick Perry who is in a religious cult who want to take over the world (kind of like Al Qaida). You have Michelle Bachmann, who refuses to answer questions and has extremely bizarre ideas about life. You have Mitt Romney who believes in magic underwear. And the rest of the primary candidates are openly against 98% of the American population – I know this because they are so strongly FOR the ultra-wealthy 2% of the country.

Then there is President Obama who thought he was dealing with reasonable people. His hair has turned grey because he has had great difficulty accepting the fact that Republicans do NOT love their country... they love rich people. They literally hate average Americans and have said so over and over and over again. The Republican run House will never allow Obama to pass any meaningful legislation because that would make Obama successful and might get him re-elected and they’d rather see the country destroyed than to have a black Democrat re-elected. And even the Liberal media continually attacks the President even though it is so clear that there is nothing he can do against the “say “NO” to Obama” party. He could propose legislation to give Republicans EVERYTHING that they ever wanted and they would vote against it because it's him that proposed it.

And still, millions of Americans believe the Republican lies. They want to cut Medicare (so basically they want to kill the seniors), Medicaid (they want to kill poor people and children) and Social Security (again they really have it in for the elderly). I guess they really don’t think that seniors deserve to retire or have comfort in their old age, even though these are the people who worked for decades to build the country. Republicans are also misogynists. They are against abortions (even in cases of child rape) but at the same time they aren’t willing to help that same child with health care or raising the child. It’s a war against women. If men could have babies, there would be no discussion and abortion would be extremely common.

And last, but not least, they use religion to support their bigotry and racism. They hate homosexuals because some book (written and EDITED by homophobic men – human homophobic men) says (in a couple of sentences) that it’s OK to hate people who are different than you. The same book says it’s OK to have slaves (human beings whose race is different than their own). And yet, these same people are the types who rape little children.

When are average people going to wake up and call these fascists out on their actions? Just wondering?

If these people gain more power in the US, the thoughts of that are scary... some crazy lunatic is going to have nuclear arms within his/her reach. I'm just sayin'.

My Bill for Starting US Economic Recovery

Stop all wars. Military personnel will be deployed to New Orleans first to rebuild that area, Detroit after that and then their rebuilding of disaster stricken areas will be prioritized based on need.

Eliminate oil subsidies!

Recall all money given in bailouts with interest (a small percentage). Liquidate Wall Street criminals' assets and lay criminal charges on all of the bastards that made the mess (then seize their assets).

Cut all tax loopholes for rich. 3% tax hike for ONLY the top 2% wealthy in the US. Tax cuts have proven NO JOB CREATION! So take tax cuts away. Make the phrase "punishing success" illegal. The phrase should have been "rewarding the greedy" anyway.

95% tax on ALL corporations who employ people outside of the US! If Corporations don't like hiring Americans, they and their CEO's can move to India and enjoy the heat and lifestyle or China and live by their laws.

BAN all religious language of ANY type from ALL government legislation and debate. Laws should be based on moral conscience, empathy, compassion, equality and of providing basic human needs for ALL. This would eliminate racism, misogyny and bigotry in current legislation.

Provide economic stimulus (from the money retrieved from the banks) to infrastructure. This would reduce unemployment and in turn increase tax revenue.

Nationalize all banks and other financial institutions and REGULATE them.

UNIVERSAL health care for ALL... starting with the 9/11 responders - covering ALL their illnesses including cancer! Regulate insurance industry to eliminate gouging and cap pricing on pharmaceuticals.

STOP GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS by coming up will significant environmental protection.
