Take My Hand

I've recently been entrenched in a discussion about unions and how horrible they are for society. A debate that is unmoderated, a debate where all the worst logical fallacies are employed. Well, I guess not all, but to give you the flavor of the idiocy; yes, Hitler has come up. 

I guess it's not that bad, ad homs are the worst of the discussion. I lost my temper once, apologized and stayed away for a few days, but kept following. The ad homs continued from the conservatives, (they really have no debating skills), and whether the authors of the slams thought they were so subtle that no one would notice I do not know, but I do know that I have no respect for the ideas being promulgated. And I really have great distaste for people who think they're subtle and intelligent when in reality their slams are not very subtle, and their minds are incapable of holding a reasonable discussion.

But then again, being cranky and aggressive, I must say it has given me great pleasure recently to wade back in and tell them what I thought of all their jackass conservative ideas. I went as far as to say I'd love to see the conservatives in this country become extinct. Even as far as subliminally forwarding the thought that I'd be happy to help that happen in any way possible.

Sometimes telling someone they're a jackass, or to fuck off, does blow off a little steam without physically hurting someone. 

And I really shouldn't put all conservatives in the same boat, though I think they all have that selfish thought pattern that makes me want to grab a pitchfork and a couple of torches. I know that there might be a conservative or two who may actually want to discuss a thought in an intelligent manner, they're just few and far between. This cast of jokers also cling to 9/11 conspiracies and other looney tunes. 

I know that someone will say, why bother? It is fairly useless to converse with those that cannot comprehend reality. But, these are atheists. Besides all the debaters being atheists, the majority are liberal, which seems to be the norm for groups of atheists; most lean to the left. Most are a bit more compassionate than these yahoos.

I only waded back in because of the seeming weak responses by my progressive friends. They were intelligent responses, they were fact filled, they were thoughtful; and they were losing the debate because the screaming monkeys of the right brought out the guns and shut up the liberal dissenters.

The comment that drew me back into the conversation was a right leaning bastard who wrote, "those who have been taken over by ideology can no longer see the truth."

Okay, gloves coming off now, I hate that tactic. The ones entrenched in their ideology are always the first to claim someone else is having a problem. 

My angry and not very intelligent response:

"I haven't seen the rich idolized this much in years. Unions compared with hitler, what the fuck? You guys are cracking me up. Why don't you go hang out with your idols? Kiss their ass, maybe they'll give you a crumb. 

History shows you have lost this debate. Scream and yell, get your panties in a bind, don't care. Since Reagan we've seen wages drop, benefits drop; basically the Ayn Rand creed has fucked the nation. The Amercan dream no more. And look at the jackass teapartiers now in congress, hey where's the jobs bitches? You keep giving tax break after tax break to the rich and the middle class dwindles. Go ahead and talk about Marxism, I'll talk about what's happening here, which is easy to see for those of us not captured by dogma or ideology. For thirty years this anti-worker creed has been pushed on the american people. It's failed bitches, open up your eyes. You may be a lazy dick licking bitch, but mine work for a living, and we will get paid for it. You're offspring can live in the fucking garbage dumps, not mine. 
Those promoting this free market crap just can't see what's happening. they deny the losses of jobs. They say Americans aren't worth what they are paid. 40 hour work weeks, no thanks. Minimum wage, no thanks. No union protection, kiss my ass."
I ranted for a while. Probably not constructive, but I was looking for the same enjoyment these people were having, and you know, it felt pretty good.

Every so often I think we need to rant at the ignorance that has been allowed to creep into our society. Every so often we need to show the muckrakers, these liars and thieves, that we will fight back.

Though I have blogged similar thoughts in the past, I still think it needs to be said over and over, fight back. I received thanks from the more progressive individuals in the dialogue and that was nice, but I'd like to see them rant once in a while themselves. There comes a time when it is right to pick a fight. 

It is hard for me to believe sometimes that there are people who hate their fellow man so much they'd shoot themselves in the foot to make sure you don't succeed. What is it driving this insanity, the dusty dregs of religion?

Take my hand, lets make a stand.

Class Warfare V - NSFW


House majority leader Boehner stated last night that the president has, "manufactured," the deficit crisis. Basically Obama has not given in to the thought that all deficit reduction should be on the backs of the middle and lower classes. One would hope that Boehner is not serious, he should realize most of us understand who has created the problem.

The crisis has been manufactured by tea party asshats who should be drawn and quartered. Well, only after I get to piss on the retards. 

Boehner knows he cannot get them to vote on any type of compromise, so he has no choice. At least that is my hope, but I guess there is a chance that this dumb fuck is as stupid as the rest of the bastard tea party christian conservatives that are hell bent on destroying this country.

Is anyone tired of playing nice but me? 

I wasted my time sending a letter to my conservative jackass representative. No answer of course, Amash is just another jesus dick licker, (meaning ass kisser, but I like dick licker better when referencing homophobes), that couldn't spell "god bless" without a damn spell checker. Retarded little bastards in control of the country, what to do?

I maintain that we should give them what they are craving for. They spit out class warfare every time someone mentions taxing the rich, lets show them what it looks like. The spawns of stupidity that have taken office should be taken down. A good american revolution is once again needed; not against our british overlords, but our new overlords, the filthy rich bastards that are picking every penny out of your pocket.

If you are afraid of losing jobs, ask yourself, "what jobs?" Maybe we should strip the rich of their ill gained earnings and kick them out of the country. Or are you of the thought that americans are unable to start anew and create businesses and jobs. Do you think so little of yourselves that you think we could not survive without these pigs? Unchecked capitalism doesn't work, as the current state of affairs plainly shows.

The fucking lies about entitlements make me puke, most americans work for a living bitches, not like these phony politicians. Nothing more than rants and raves and disrespect do we get.

Disrespect motherfuckers. That's what the tea party and christian conservatives are all about. They disrespect every working man and woman in this country when they bitch about entitlements; the recipients of real entitlements are the rich and the politicians that only create discord for the money they receive. 

Christian politicians, including democrats, are only puppets of their rich masters, mouth pieces of confusion are they. 

I'm not even talking about a physical attack, though punching one of these mealy mouth bastards would be, in a term they can understand, "heavenly."

All I'm talking about is massive amounts of people in the street. Take the fucking day off and show these bastards who is really in charge, because it is us. Put some fear in their bellies, they've tried their best to scare the fuck out of us with their crap, show them it hasn't worked. Give it back. Surround their homes, surround their businesses, kick some fucking ass. Cowardly bastards would run away, for they have no real moral fortitude. 

The dimwit teatards chanting they want to take their country back, lets show them what that looks like. No posturing with weapons for photo shoots whenever someone they dislike, (apparently black presidents), is in town. In fact, if we were real americans we would have jumped their asses ourselves and never allowed that to occur. 

Again, they disrespect us all.

What the fuck is wrong with us? Have we no courage to resist? 

If we do nothing, we're just a bunch of fucking pussies; we deserve exactly what we get.

Jose Can You See: Class Warfare IV


As another fourth of July is celebrated in the United States, we should remember that we are the immigrants. Immigrants that took what they wanted, however they could get their hands on it. 


Population estimates range from a little over 2 million to eight million indigenous people living in the United States when the European illegal immigrants first started to colonize. Bringing disease and war, they took this country from its original inhabitants.


I remember in school reading about how the first European settlers "discovered" the land we live in. It never sank in when I was a young man that names like the state where I was mostly raised, (Illinois), wasn't much of a European derived word. The rivers and mountains and land already had names, the names that were given by those who inhabited the land before our arrival. 


Illegal immigration are buzzwords that we hear almost daily, though it is hardly ever mentioned that the Europeans that live here, each and every one, were at one time illegal immigrants.


For a glaring example of religious defective mentality; think, "manifest destiny." 


Now we have an influx of hispanic people, most looking to find work, safety and hoping their children are able to prosper. The american dream baby.


But so many white bastards I know hate the thought of immigration. And they hate it in an incomprehensible manner. People adorning the bumpers of their cars with bumper stickers proclaiming that we should, "protect our borders," yet, their children are marrying said immigrants. My bleached ass family has hispanic blood running through the veins of grandchildren, yet still hate immigration. It's as though they pretend that everyone in the family is still a pristine nordic pallor, amazing.


To get away from personal remarks, anyone who can generate a bit of brain juice can figure out that it is the plutocracy running the country that keeps immigration in its current state. Wealth loves cheap labor, and why allow immigrants to become citizens when that means that they would then enjoy the rights of american workers?


To take that a step farther, I think it is exactly the reason that conservatives are after workers rights. If they destroy the unions, get rid of minimum wage laws, get rid of child protection laws; they can then justify immigration reform. It will give them workers  that are used to working for pennies and destroy any attempts to maintain a living wage for the populace. 


Class warfare continues.

Class Warfare II

Rick Snyder, Michigan's newest dick
attacking unions, making me sick
should just smack the shit out of the little prick
but can't get near him, the man is slick

Benton Harbor loses it's park
outlook for that town pretty damn stark
that beautiful beach has been outsourced
making it easy to build the new golf course

Residents can't afford to play
would use up half of their yearly pay
only really one reason for them to stay
to save the fight for another day

Detroit's teachers fired
an emergency financial man hired
so much for the schools that were publicly sired
corporations make cash on the ones acquired

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

Ohio's tea party Kasich
wins with help from the rich
public employees are his bitch
no strikes, no arbitration, you don't have a niche

Public workers can't walk out
no bargaining, the bosses have the clout
no problem, no reason to shout
you're fucked, of that there is no doubt

Chief of staff gets a fifty thousand dollar raise
Kasich does it, doesn't amaze
he's a crook in many ways
all you punks can go out in a blaze

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

Texas governor Rick Perry also says
teachers are the problem with their wicked ways
workers are hostile, end their days
one hundred thousand teachers may be gone, him it doesn't faze

Wage structure pretty fucked up
don't look at it too closeup
the workers have nothing for backup
forty-fourth lowest wages in the states, definitely not a mixup

Three hundred and thirty-five thousand more jobs to be lost
doesn't matter what the cost
tea party bastards are not to be crossed
rich revelers party until they're sauced

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

I am so damn happy not to be living in Maine
where tea party shit Lepage is doing the same
repealing bargaining rights is pretty lame
cutting pension benefits for a little fame

Remove a mural from the wall
that celebrated workers before the fall
Apparently voters dropped the ball
now the state sucks, though the people stand tall

Benefits for state employees he stole
excepting himself in his roll
not doing well in any poll
this is a man without a soul

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare

Then there's Florida's Rick Scott
wants the lowest paid teachers in the country to rot
every year they reapply, now they're hot
how'd they elect this failed old sot

Decided that those without a job
their benefits he could easily rob
twelve weeks unemployment for the mob
the dirty little bastard is a real slob

Works hard to keep his own businesses afloat
channeling funds since he got the vote
it's all good for this old goat
just another days work for florida's cutthroat

Don't read the news, don't stare
don't worry about how your neighbors fare
don't say a word, don't care
you'll be the one accused of class warfare
