What an Em'Barry'sment

So Barry, a new biography coming our way detailing the high school exploits of our current and future President while a member of the notorious "Choom Gang". Smoking weed, drinking beer, doing all the things kids do at that age. All while attending the privileged Punahou School in Oahu with the islands' wealthy elite.

Do tell us Barry, if it was OK for you to partake without penalty; why are you suddenly persecuting those of us who use marijuana for medicine legitimately while under the protection of medical marijuana laws you did not have the benefit of?

Barry allow me to shed a little light for you; those people who elected you, the people who are tired of war, who fear the pendulum's continued swing to the right, are now wondering why you're pushing that pendulum further to the right than Bush?

You've successfully suspended Posse Comitatus, directed the FAA to allow drone flights in civilian airspace. The next logical step in this progression would be to foment public unrest, allowing for the occupation of America's cities under martial law. Considering the ham handed tactics unleashed under your watch, used  with your blessing to quell the Occupy protests; might these be the beginnings of or the training sessions for, the implementation of martial law?
Will the troops coming home be discharged, or will they be dragooned into service here as imposers of martial law?

Thankfully our troops are ending their overseas commitments in two wars whose outcomes will not be known for probably another generation. America re-opened Pandora's Box of interfaith war that the despots of the region had kept a lid on for decades. Clearly these governments we've overthrown were not our friends, nor did they serve their citizenry. However when we endeavor to transplant our way of government on others who have neither the desire nor training to sustain the effort, we get what we have in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dysfunction, corruption, ineptitude, and a patronage system akin to Tammany Hall.
Different yes, but better?

Reality is America, regardless of who we think we're voting into office, that person does not exist.
He or she is nothing more than an amalgamation of disparate words and deeds, pandering to the elite who control our lives. If you want change, real change, it's not going to happen at the polling place controlled by corporate interests. Look to your past for your future America, the solution lies there.

Barry Strikes Again...


How many of you heard Barry's latest civil liberty proclamation today?
The better question is: How many of you believe him?
Personally I'm experiencing a little deja vu here; remember the 2008 election when Barry told us that he supported medical marijuana, and would not prosecute in states were medical marijuana laws were in force? I may not clearly remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I do have a strong recall of that particular statement.
We all know what happened to that promise don't we?
Or perhaps we should ask Richard Lee the founder of Oaksterdam University, how true to his word Barry is?

Now he's telling our gay citizens that he supports their right to marriage.
More election year pandering to a constituency he was going to carry anyway. Why?
Will he follow the same modus operandi for gay marriage as he has with marijuana, lulling us into a sense of safety, only to drop the hammer later?
Will our government deploy the same drones they intend to use for general surveillance of the populace, to also monitor lifestyle choices?
Clearly they'll be operating their drones over our homes and public lands, not to keep us safe, but to keep us in line.

Here it is my gay friends; Barry's asking you to all come out into the light, become public with your relationships and with his blessing marry.
All I ask is that you question why?

Putin, Russia's Little Big Man



Ever notice how through the annals of history we've been periodically burdened by teeny tiny little men who strive to project the visage of giants? Why is it that Russia has been afflicted with more than their fair share? The former USSR before them? If you're not thinking Stalin, then you're not thinking. Is there something in the neurological makeup of miniature men that compels them to seek dictatorial power?

Vlad is a pretty short dude, with a very bad attitude towards his people. I like how he gravely took the mantel from Medvedev(another micro man), and thanked the millions who turned out to vote for him.
Unfortunately he neglected to mention the 10's of millions who detest him, and clearly did not vote for his cult of personality. No these Russian citizens were set upon by the police in an effort to clear the streets for his coronation, 'er I mean swearing in. Vlad baby, if Berlusconi is the most prominent foreign dignitary attending your pompous soiree; what does that say about your presidency, your legitimacy?

When a narcissist insists upon revealing himself as such with the frequency of a Vlad the Inhaler, take notice people you do yourselves great injustice when you allow these self serving tadpoles to swim freely in your political cesspools.

Russia rightly belongs in the pantheon of great nations, but peeps(little marshmallow candies..) like you Vlad are just a piece in the corrupt landscape of a ginormously surreal Dali-esque painting that Russia can never seem to escape.
