The crowd goes wi… wait what? The crowd booed! Serves him right!
D’oh, no more scare tactics for you jerks! It’s too bad, I really like John McCain, I wish he’d stick to his honor and shy away from exploiting the troops.
American soldier’s lives vs. Black gold
November 30, 2007 | Filed Under Activism, Political, Propaganda | Leave a Comment
How many soldier’s to the gallon do you get? Wow, powerful statement, but quite crass. Is there even a nice way to frame the argument?
Sometimes, a lack of tact can help bring about change, but in this case, I think it just helps promote anger and resentment on both sides of the issue.
Beware the man-bear-pig!

There is a political genius that comes from the writers of South Park. They’re self described libertarians, and I think a lot of their material is very funny. Some of the issues they harp about though are pretty dumb. I understand they are comics first, but there is an agenda there, they really are political activists at the core.
Check out one of their classic assaults on Al Gore, here’s the picture that’s gone viral a number of times.
The anti-Gore sentiment doesn’t come from the libertarian side, it’s more of a neo-conservative sentiment that has become a cornerstone of the GOP as a result of the polarization of American politics. Below is a clip from the infamous south park episode:
the Man-bear-pig episode, South Park - 2007
Funny episode, but really, why the heck do they hate on Gore so much? By the way, when the polar ice caps melt, there won’t be much time to enjoy your favorite south park episode,…. BOO!
Rudy Giuliani’s answer to everything
November 28, 2007 | Filed Under Elections, News, Scandals | Leave a Comment
Tonight, during the youtube / CNN debate, I had to smirk at one of his answers. Rudy Giuliani made a ‘funny’ response on a question about his loyalty to the NY Yankees and why he cheered on the Red Sox during the playoffs. He said something to the effect of, “I’ll remind you that when I was mayor of NY, the Yankees won the Championship 4 times. Since being Mayor, they haven’t won the world series!”
I know he was just joking, but the kind of logic reminds me of this family guy snippet:
Rudy Giuliani, “President of 9/11″ and the reason the Yankees won four national titles! I wonder what’s going to happen with that latest scandal about misusing taxpayer dollars to fund his sexcapades in NY? Maybe Americans will look the other way, the way they’ve overlooked Valerie Plame Wilson’s outting, the Katrina massive government response failure, Alberto Gonzales’ lies, the U.S. Attorney firing scandals, Karl Rove’s role in all of these major scandals, the Libby conviction and pardon by Bush, and oh let’s not forget the false information fed the public while the President attempted to sell the Iraq invasion to the U.S. and world.
Given what we know about the Bush Administration scandals, isn’t Giuliani’s indiscretion just another drop in the bucket?

This is the man that is supposed to unite America and protect us from evil?
Remember the “no hugs” controversy?
November 27, 2007 | Filed Under Activism, Political, Religion | Leave a Comment
What ever happened to family values, innocence, love and trust? Why are we having issues with little kids hugging in school, is this a government issue? Have we given education too much liberty to make decisions based on religious views? Was this an issue of religious over-protectiveness?
Below is a picture of the child who got into trouble for hugging in school! Yes, that’s her family, it is sad how far America has fallen.
One of my best friends is an Evangelical Christian and she went all the way with her kids. She removed them (three young girls) all from the public educational system. She believes public education is corrupt and a place where “evil” can flourish. Her kids are beautiful, believe in God and they make a wonderful little family, but they have no point of reference for the real world.
I’m concerned that the kids may not gain the skills they need to handle real life problems when they grow up. To each their own, I guess.
Dennis Kucinich’s wife is smokin’ hot
November 26, 2007 | Filed Under Elections, News | Leave a Comment
There are few candidates that I can appreciate on the level that I do Dennis Kucinich. He makes me want to be a better man, his politics are sound, his heart is in the right place and his wife.. man his wife is hot!
I’d probably vote for the guy because he’s just an all around all-star, but would anyone hold it against me if I voted for him because of his hot babe of a wife? Who wouldn’t want her beautiful mug on the cover of magazines and in the TV all the time? The best part is she went to grad school, educated, has a ’save the world’ good heart mentality and is well spoken and a great accent to boot!

“That’s my privilege, not yours!”
Fuhrer Bush, no love at home or abroad
November 25, 2007 | Filed Under Activism, Political, Propaganda | Leave a Comment
Calling President Bush a Nazi is pretty boring, but it’s ‘out there’. There are many Americans who aren’t very knowledgeable about history, nor do they understand why it is a bit awkward to refer to Adolf Hitler vs. George W. Bush as one and the same. Aside from the unsophisticated level of the attack, you may as well call Bush a girl or gay, nazi? Seriously lacking in the creativity department.
The simplicity of the attack aside, it’s interesting how far Americans and citizens of the world have come in hating the American President. President Clinton was loved everywhere outside partisan circles. When he traveled throughout the world, everyone wanted to be a part of history, to just capture a single moment that they’d cherish for life. Americans would fall over themselves to see Clinton or shake his hand. President Bush on the other hand, is very unpopular! People see the fascism creeping into American democracy, they blame him for our loss of rights. They also see the Iraq War, failures, costs, dead soldiers, as strongly representing what this administration is all about. Pair that with fear-driven policy and you have “Fuhrer” George W. Bush.
Americans abusing kids as political props

If it’s not some Senator waving pictures of America’s children to pass SCHIP, it’s another waving the American flag with one hand and holding a child in the other. Children are great pieces of propaganda when used properly, and it looks like the manipulation doesn’t stop inside our borders. Below is an image of a muslim child holding an American flag.
It could be that this picture was taken by the little girl’s parents to show their support for the United States efforts overseas. Or, it could be that some reporter wanted a photograph that would impress the boss. Maybe, it was taken by CIA agents hoping to keep the political war away from the fire.
Whatever the reasons for the visual, it does send a strong message. Children will forever be exploited as long as mankind continues along this path of hatred, intolerance, violence and war. Does anyone know the origin of the picture? Better yet, feel free to contribute your own theories or opinions on this political artwork.
Hillary Clinton, Pretty in Pink?
November 23, 2007 | Filed Under Deception, Gossip, Media | Leave a Comment
This summer everyone was raving about Hillary Clinton’s “new look”. Her wardrobe has had somewhat of a makeover and for the most part I think she looks pretty sharp.
Is Hillary’s fashion sense really such a big deal? Our nation that is stuck with a multi trillion dollar war, struggling social and racial classes, religious tension, near bankruptcy, a weakened dollar and economy, a terrible educational system, and the list goes on.. yet our news media found time (I’m talking days) to harp on Hillary Clinton’s “makeover”. If you subscribe to any conservative literature, especially the stuff that comes from the Human Events group, you likely receive the e-mail that says “Hillary Clinton’s EXTREME makeover…”
What a joke, our Democracy is crippled and our Constitution is on life support and we’re bullshitting over fashion, Hillary’s cleavage and whether or not she is “fake”. What I know about Clinton — although she is not my top choice– is that she is very intelligent. She actually represents Yale University well, unlike President Bush who doesn’t even seem fit for trade school, much less one of the most prestigious universities in the world!
