The great trickle down theory of Reaganomics. It has now been about thirty years in play and I have yet to meet anyone who had anything trickle down to them. This is how Reagan claimed it worked, give tax breaks to the people on the top of the money pile, they in turn buy more stuff and the money flows down the economic pile to the middle class. Sounded good to some, I however with my feeble hormone teaming always looking for the next hot babe mind thought bull shit! The rich will not buy more stuff and the only thing that will or can run down a pile of manure is wet manure. I had this analogy I came up with back then and I still see it holds true today; A teaspoon of water poured over a pile of bull shit is just that, a teaspoon of damp bull shit. Manufacturing jobs have all but been sent over seas, not because American workers are or were lazy then, but because cheep labor equates to greater profits. Reagan started deregulating industry, banks, the phone company, cable, etc. and none of the savings promised to the American people materialized. Prices went up to offset the cost of the initial start up incurred by these new competitors and the price did not go down as promised. The list of lies from the Republican Party goes on for what seem to be forever, they create jobs, (overseas) , big government hurts free enterprise, when it was these same Republicans who have passed more laws creating big government then the Democratic Party. Look it up, they love government regulations that favor the rich, they just don't like regulations that reign in corporate greed.
One of my favorite catch phrases is entitlements. Just what is meant by that? You buy food, a car a house are you not entitled to eat the food, drive the car and live in the house? Those are entitlements. Let's see what my good friend The Oxford American says about entitle/entitled: v. [tr.] (usu. be entitled) give (someone) a legal right or a just claim to receive or do something: employees are normally entitled to severance pay.- entitlement n.
I know that I payed my share into unemployment, Medicare and Social Security, therefore I am entitled to collect all three if and when needed,
One last thought; If you have a mortgage on your house and/or an auto loan on your car is not the bank entitled to live in the house they legally own and drive the car they legally own? After all legally they hold title. It is their entitlement as well as yours. Is it not?
did I piss you off? I will.

Hypocrisy and the moral right. Pro-life, self righteous, Christian moralists and their incessant crusade to save us from ourselves. The shared addiction of forcing their will upon the masses. A collective denial of themselves and the natural animal urges embedded within the human genome.
To prefix I should point out that this is not an attack on religion per se, but rather a pointing out of the false hoods of a powerful group of so called Christians that have been slowly high-jacking America for personal monetary gain through the use of terror tactics aimed at those who do not agree with there choice of life style. Yes choice, not by natural means embedded within the human make up, but a learned hatred, prejudice really against any and all who were taught differently from them, ie: people who think for themselves and question the validity of the claims of others without being told how to think. These are the people who continually claim Homosexuality to be a choice of, rather than a natural occurrence. They ignore science. They claim the world to be 3500 years old and yet use the science to try and prove that global warming happens all the time like it did millions of years ago. They want it both ways. Science is false for them unless they can use it to disprove all theories other than their own.
How far are we as a whole going to allow this rampant assault on our right to think, choose and decide what is best for us as individuals? We, as a free people, have the inalienable right as put forth by the founders of this country, to the pursuit of happiness, life and liberty. No where in the Constitution of These United States does it state a "Christian based" country, government or anything other than a government that guarantees the freedom of religion. Those last three words are the important ones. FREEDOM OF RELIGION. It was not until after the Second World War that the terms 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and 'ONE NATION UNDER GOD' came in to play. A fearful response to the false threat of a Communist infiltration and or takeover of America. Propagated by the fear mongers of the day and kept alive for a more than handsome profit by the war machine America has become today. There is no profit in peace. What does this have to do with the Christian Right? Simply put, everything. The Christian Right is neither right (correct) nor are they really Christian. What was that bit in that book they love to quote so much? Oh, yes, killing is bad. A sin I believe it is referred to. I have looked and for the life of me I can not find any footnote about, well maybe killing is OK if those you kill are different from you, darker skin maybe, call this god thing by a different name or just kind of have a tiny bit different way of living. I just don't seem to find those footnotes. Now on to the why and the how.
Abortion: Bad. Why? Dead solders can't fight. Dead children don't grow up and feed the war machine.
No profit in that.
Homosexuality: Bad. Why? No children made to feed the war machine.
No profit in that.
Religion: Good. Why? Religion feeds on the fear of the unknown, it offers a simple answer to the question of why we are here. Is religion a real answer? No. Why? You must believe in the unbelievable.
You must believe: The single most asinine reason yet to be used as an answer. I must believe? Tell me, who came up with that and why did anyone in their right mind (pun fully intended) say OK? Can any of you find in this book of yours who it was who first said that and to whom? No. Why? It is not in there, or to put it another way, it was not so written.
The word of God: Really? Any witnesses to that? No. That has been clearly written, no man was allowed to see. Oh well, we will all just take the word of, what was his name again? Would you believe me if I said God came to me through one of his messengers as I slept(dreamed) and told me that He, God, did not exist? No. Why? Easy answer for you here, God does not talk to non believers, right? Wrong. That too is written in your book. The Lord made himself known. Until that time there were no believers so He does, and has sent word to non believers. Where is this hypocrisy I mentioned? You just read it. The hypocrisy of these believers is that they claim to be but are not Christian by deed. I have no problem with those who believe and live as the Bible says to live. The Koran says the same things, as does the Torah.
The Lies, hypocrisy, Truth of the Christian Right:
Abortion is bad, war kills are good. My way of thinking is the only way. Over population is good, not making babies is bad. Casting out excess populations as worthless shit is justifiable, feeding and caring for the lives you forced into being is bad and inconvenient, making false claims about the US Constitution and Bill of Rights is good when there is a profit to be made. God wants Christians to be rich and non your- kind -of- Christians and all others to be poor and serve you as long as you don't have to see or come in contact with them is God's master plan and must be good.

Part 1
Ah, the joys of politics. I get sick of the lies. It matters not the party, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Interdependent, Green, Socialist, Communist, blue state, red state, green state, police state. No, nor does the year mater all that much. They all lie. My opponent is bad, I am your economic savior! I have the plan. The plan! My plan is best! Blah, blah, blah. I have heard so many lies from all sources, all media, all regurgitating again and again the same load of crap. Same BS in every country, giant ego's wanting to be stroked. Tell you anything for a vote, pass a law if the payoff is good. The whole world is run by greedy psychopaths, all to lazy to work for a living. While telling the masses what is best for them, politicians spend more money that they or the country has, blame the other party or blame the working class, and raise taxes. They raise taxes on the lowest earners and give more tax breaks to the upper class. They say that is the only way to create more jobs, increase profit for the big bloated corporations and the few who own them and count jobs that pay the worker far less than can be lived on as proof of success. (The following item has been edited of appropriate content) Do these f...... ......... ........... ................ ........ . ........... .......... ... .............. .... ........ we .... ................ are!!?
Part 2(a)
Politicians give them self raises for not doing their job. Cut services such as fire fighting, education, the arts, lay off teachers, safety inspectors, you, me and Art. (Art is a window washer)
Part 2(b)
Sex. Boobs (That was for Mr Corman's rule)
Part 3
Now for the Truth.....
Everybody ends up dead.
Did I piss you off? I will
