The intent of this blog is to promote human equality, human progress, human peace and justice, and optimism. To accomplish this, to encourage the discussion of ideas after identifying and discovering problems, and then creating positive solutions for "we the people," in order to provide for the "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" of America now and its "posterity" into the future. To encourage an emphasis on separation of religion and state for all, no matter if this is for those "of faith" in a Maker / Creator (Deists, God-loving people, Christians, various people of spirituality) and atheists or agnostics.

Republicans Have Occupied the White House More Years than Democrats

If there truly is the problems the Republicans say exist, then those problems are NOT due to Democrats, but to Republicans.  Republicans have occupied the White House more years since the 1950s than the Democrats have occupied it.  It was Bill Clinton, a Democrat, who balanced the Federal budget after inheriting a deficit from a Republican president.  Bill Clinton wisely recognized the approach suggested by super-wealthy (for his day) tycoon, Andrew Carnegie:  “Wealth is not created by individuals, but by society.”

Why do I say this?  Because Bill Clinton recognized that the Middle Class invested in the economy and a strong economy could boost revenue for the Federal government.  The wealthy do not invest in the American economy.  Despite the efforts of the wealthy oligarchy to sabotage what President Obama has proposed, the economy STILL shows signs of recovery.  Think how much better it would be had voters not been suckered by the propaganda money (aka, BOUGHT OUT) of the Republicans in 2010.

Obama CARES, Republicans Have no Compassion

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Media actually discussed ObamaCare in a more positive light?  That would be something, would it not? For instance, how about discussing the parts of this healthcare plan which have proven successful in Switzerland?  Success for a decade in Switzerland.  Do we hear this?  No, we don’t.

Thanks, CNN, for shirking your duties.  Thanks, Media (except NPR and PBS, which Romney wishes to shut down – too objective and not biased enough in favor of Republicans).

Republicans lack compassion, are deceitful, and they lie (did I say that?).  PERIOD.

Redemption

Regarding President Obama and comments I made last year about him “lacking balls,” I need to redeem myself.  Let it be known that I fully support Barack Obama and the Democrats, even when there are some issues.  Those issues are not as strong as my desire to see Obama and the Democrats sweep the government.

As a former Republican, I am ashamed of the worship of Grover Norquist – by Republicans.  Their oath should be to their country and the U.S. Constitution, not to a man and his austerity ideology.  Norquist is a traitor.  The tea party consists of traitors, too.  Andrew Carnegie said something like, “wealth is not created by individuals, but by society.”  The Republican approach is wrong.

Furthermore, austerity budgets have always imploded an economy.  Had it not been for Barack Obama and his opposition to complete austerity, there would be no progress with unemployment and the economy at all.

Republicans and their supporters are mean-spirited, non-compassionate liars who promote a centralized economy with few differences from the centralized oligarchy and monopolistic practices of the former Soviet Union.  Early Christians formed communes, but they were nothing like a strong centralized economic oligarchy similar to the Roman Empire which was also responsible for the death of their leader.  When will people begin to put things in the proper perspective?

President Barack Obama is the only man for the White House.

Advertisement Tonight on CNN, 10.23.2012

Once again, let’s expose lies of the Republican Party.  An advertisement tonight explains why a man is voting for Republicans.  He implies the other choice is socialism.  Oh, really?  I grew up on Main Street USA and had my own little capitalist businesses which don’t exist today for American kids.  Why?  Not due to socialism or communism or government, but our problems today are due to the fascists on Wall Street.  In 2008, Barack Obama made a distinction between Main Street and Wall Street and is then accused of being a socialist?

I am supportive of real competitive free market capitalism.  Republicans support oligarchic and crony capitalism.  A one-time Republican myself, I reject this stand by Republicans.

From a young age, I was working – on farms, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, and delivering newspapers.   It was not the union folks who removed these jobs from the kids today, but those who move in here from other lands, somehow claiming they have a better work ethic to succeed.  That’s baloney.

Who are the ones who refused – deliberately refused – to pay back student loans which our government was nice enough to grant them?  Look around.  They are more likely the ones who support Republicans and Libertarians today.

There should be opposite viewpoints on CNN when such lying advertisements are broadcast.
