Republican states leech off of Democratic states. 

It’s been exactly one year since TedNugent  claimed he’d be dead or in jail.

On April 14th, 2012 Ted Nugent claimed  ”_If barack obama becomes the president in november again, i will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. Why you laughing, you think that’s funny? That’s not funny at all. I’m serious as a heart attack._”https://plus.google.com/111051039748078110427/posts/iRvbXXuu8En


Well Ted, your time’s up, so which one is it? I think Ted wants to hear what youthink about this. He doesn’t have a G+ account, but he is on:

In all honesty, I think Ted Nugent is going to chicken out from his claim, just like other famous conservatives do when their mouths write checks their butts can’t cash. For instance, it’s been over 1400 days since Fox propagandist Sean Hannity claimed that “wateboarding is not torture” and volunteering to be waterboarded to prove it. Similarly, human hemmorhoid and chronic loggorheatic Rush Limbaugh said he’d “move to Costa Rica if Health Care Reform passed”. That was 3 years ago, and Boss Limbaugh is still here. Time to man up you cowards!

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

 -Martin Niemöller, a prominent Protestant pastor who opposed the Nazi regime. He spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. Germany, 1937.

Niemöller’s preferred version (1971):
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I did not speak out;
As I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I did not speak out;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
As I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
As I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Texas megachurch Pastor Robert Jeffress is warning LGBT members of his flock that they could be blown to “smithereens” if they plug their equipment into the wrong outlet by having homosexual sex.

Watch the video.

This is what happens when friends let friends vote Republican!

The Supreme Court and Federal Courts have been stocked with ultra-right wing conservative activist judges who serve the interests of the richest 1% of Americans and big corporations. This is why everyone needs to get involved personally and do something to help out.

Funny how conservatives try to claim Obama isn’t bipartisan

Censored Media Images to match the one sided exaggerations and divisive propaganda that keeps the masses arguing over things that don’t exist, except as vague and ill-defined idealisms.

Isn’t it time we make a real Science out of Economics and Politics, and leave these 19th century emotional assertions and claims behind?

2 Million people have passed by the casket of the late Hugo Chavez, and millions more will pass in the coming 7 day extended viewing.  Is that how people act when their evil oppressor dies?

This post will seem one-sided as well, but it is that way simply to give light to the other side of the story.  Truth is something that must be sought out.  He was no saint, but neither was he a devil.

Some excerpts from an article last year  ( http://goo.gl/guACx )

“As a matter of fact, of the 92 elections that we’ve monitored, I would say that the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world.” - Jimmy Carter, who won a Nobel prize for his work through the election-monitoring Carter Center, which has observed and certified past Venezuelan elections said.

..Venezuelan state TV has only about 5-8% of the country’s audience.

..the opposition still has most of the media, including radio and print media – not to mention most of the wealth and income of the country.

Since 2004, when the government gained control over the oil industry and the economy had recovered from the devastating, extra-legal attempts to overthrow it (including the 2002 US-backed military coup and oil strike of 2002-2003), poverty has been cut in half and extreme poverty by 70%.

Millions have access to healthcare for the first time, and college enrolment has doubled, with free tuition for many students. Inequality has also been considerably reduced. By contrast, the two decades that preceded Chávez amount to one of the worst economic failures in Latin America, with real income per person actually falling by 14% between 1980 and 1998.

All this while the US is spending millions of dollars within the country, in addition to unknown covert funds – to undermine, delegitimise, and destabilise democracy in Venezuela.

If you’ve read this far, and wish to comment about some terrible thing about Venezuela or Chavez, please provide a link to a credible source. 

NOTE- the preceding comment was written by John Malthus on G+, and sums up the situation very well. https://plus.google.com/102744407669548081722/posts/GfpsPntKLLs
