The tea party is attempting to turn people against our Constitutional-based democratic-based country, attempting to destroy our U.S. Constitution which is described by former Israeli prime minister, Menachim Begin, as one of the greatest documents ever written. The Constitution begins with “We the people…” The tea party wishes to change it to, “We the corporate monopolists…” I refuse to accept that this nation is a “republic,” as die-hard Republicans try to claim. It is NOT a republic, it is a democracy of “We the people…” as stated in the first line of the U.S. Constitution.
Attempting to tear apart “We the people…” is a method of “divide and conquer” so as to tear apart all the accomplishments of Teddy Roosevelt and his “trust-busting” which resulted in one of the greatest nations on earth. These tea party people and the Republicans who support them suck. The suckers are those who accept without thinking this attitude to tear apart our government. This U.S. government has proved successful over many years and needs to be bolstered.
The white racist suckers who take sides with the treasonous tea party are also divisive, playing into the hands of a fascist group of people who promote greed, love of money, and anarchy. They are wrong.
To be positive, I have positive solutions not based on ideology. But first, this is the damage being done by the treasonous tea party and their billionaire / millionaire friends (Koch brothers, Rove, Limbaugh, Scott, Walker, Armey, Cheney, Bush family … and others).
1. Removal of the long-term investments in real estate, due to de-regulation of banking and other financial institutions (by Reagan, Bush, and others). This once provided opportunities for the Middle class, rather than the caste system imposed by these wealthy pigs who are supported by dumb ignorant Middle Class people who have no wisdom. A home in 1988 could go up only 1% in 8 years. That was good because one had to wait for the long-term. But layoffs by greedy tea party type pigs resulted in losing a long-term investment. Then, the de-regulation of banks encouraged a fiasco in finance between 2002 and 2006 – four years. The price of real estate became a short-term investment, rising 125%. Yet, people who lost out STILL will vote Republican. What dumb jerks, because it was the Republicans who CAUSED it – de-regulation – and did nothing about it when the market moved to slum lords who could “flip” houses.
2. CEOs began pilfering the nest eggs of Americans, claiming “there is no money for pensions.” That is the talk of hoodlums and goons and pigs. There IS money for pensions, but these pensions were used to increase the gap between CEOs and the lowest paid employees by more than 1000% between 1974 and today. There IS money for pensions, but the CEOs have become a bunch of deceptive liars – and CREEPS. They forced the average worker into 401(K) plans – NOT DESIGNED FOR RETIREMENT PLANS. They forced the average worker into a risky market while the CEOs sat by in comfort of their HUGE bonuses which were stolen from employee pensions, even when the BASTARD CEOs failed at their business. And the boards of directors of these perverted corporate leaders went right along. Just read Ellen Schultz’s book, RETIREMENT HEIST.
3. George Bush, traitor as resident of the White House, trashed parts of Medicare and AARP went along. The man quotes from Nazi propaganda minister, Goebbels, twisting information and mocking and scoffing at those who expose the truth – like a good Hitler propaganda master, with whom Bush’s grandad HELPED to attain power in Germany. FASCIST dictators, not men of the people.
4. With Medicare gutted, people have less for retirement. People laid off after 55 pay the highest for health insurance, but are unable to secure jobs – as the CEO pigs scrap their pension plans. And now the tea party assholes wish to remove the pools which COULD reduce the cost of insurance to people in this age group whom they have screwed (unless they are brats with lots of money). Nice opportunity which only Ebeneezer Scrooge could agree. These bastards attempt to turn the fiction of Charles Dickens and Ayn Rand, too, into reality. Go f*** off, you bastards. Someone go for their deep pockets, please! Bastard snots who don’t even recognize who or what (the government) helped them ACHIEVE what they did. Bastards. Low life scum with lots of money. Even a fiery hell is too good for them.
5. Tea party attempts to scrap Medicare, Social Security, and Obamacare. This after removing all capitalist market abilities (pensions and long-term investments in real estate) for the Middle Class to seek opportunities. These people are attempting to carve a caste system in America into stone. And what do so many people do? They go along blindly, rather than object.
6. A former jerk of a Republican senator advertises the biggest screwing Americans can receive – to replace long-term investments in real estate. The “Reverse Mortgage” is designed and embraced by tea party brats and snots to put people in their places in old age, never allowing children to receive a return on the investment their parents made in a long-term investment. The banks own those homes in “Reverse Mortgage,” so therefore this also makes it more difficult for young people to obtain housing. These homes are passed to slum lords with the ability to monopolize and control the prices of homes and RENT. F*** them. Screw them. Someone file a class-action lawsuit against all these people, please!
And to the Democrats. Stop with this stupidity of “American Dream.” STOP IT. Get down to the brass tacks of what is really happening. Speak to the American people who are enterprising people, you dumb jerks in the Democratic Party leadership. Speak to the ones who are like Congressman Patrick Murphy. The DREAM makes it sound like people are “ENTITLED” to this. Dead wrong. Nobody is entitled to these things unless they INVEST and receive a RETURN on the investments. Get down to the brass tacks of talking about INVESTMENTS and RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. A major financial enterprise (Charles Schwab?) once ran advertisements about gaining money “the old fashioned way; we earn it!” The tea party has REMOVED these things from the “common human,” within the capitalist system and this is wrong. They pit people against a government which COULD protect them in this capitalist economy. People are stupid jerks who follow the line of reasoning of a bunch of scoundrels called “tea party.” Democrats do NOTHING to challenge these notions. Just continue with “the American Dream.” F*** the American dream and do something different with your approach, you jerks.
The man who defined capitalism (not socialism), following an 18th-Century Scottish banking crisis about on par with the Bush one in 2008 (created by the Republican de-regulation of a decade or so earlier) was a Christian man expecting business people to “naturally” regulate themselves. But after this banking crisis, Adam Smith changed his mind. He noticed so many of these Christians were actually hypocrites and determined there should be some regulation. The tea party quotes this man in claiming no regulation. They are wrong. They are dead wrong.
And to the dumb ones who follow Karl Marx. Karl Marx was a jerk, too. He blamed capitalism when it was monarchical monopolism which he SHOULD have blamed. So the tea party twists this to their favor, while re-establishing a type of monarchical monopolism, but indeed this system today, given a blessing by a stupid Supreme Court led by a stupid man named Scalia, is a corporatist system no different from monarchical monopolism. It’s also no different from the Soviet and Chinese forms of communism and the hierarchical top-down arrangement of the Roman Catholic Church – from Vatican City.
Democracy takes thinking people who understand civics, not politics. Who understand how a democratic government works. This takes work on the part of the masses. We once had masses who were NOT lazy and would embrace this system. Too many lazy people have poked fun at this system, particularly among my own age group. They are disgusting people and allow the tea party to rape all of us up the ass.
Scalia believes in the Roman republic and has no idea what the American democracy is about. Scalia and his fascist friends endorse the idea of slavery, including the corporatist movement to re-make education in order to create slaves, rather than thinking people who understand a broad array of topics from science, math, engineering, technology, social sciences, to physical education, humanities, arts, and yes, the CIVICS of democracy. These are what education is all about, not the slavery endorsed by colleges with the name, “CAREER.” Education was designed with a pedagogy which prepared for careers AND lifelong learning. Just because a bunch of lazy loudmouth Baby Boomers have decided on their own that education has parts which are irrelevant – this is irrelevant to the design of education. I say to all these jerky SOBs – LAZY ones – to go take a hike and institute their ideas in some third world developing nation, rather than create a lazy one here. Everyone has the slave attitude of being “entitled” to things slaves receive.
Even BS loudmouth artist, Limbaugh, once said, “slaves have it good because they work and someone takes care of them.” The SOB “troll” snotty Limbaugh misses the point of the human spirit. We wish to advance ourselves, no just take care of others. The Chinese COMMUNISTS impose a system whereby, rather than working towards retirement investment – LONG TERM – the young people are told to get a career (as a slave) and take care of their parents. What about the AMERICAN WAY, you dumb bastard, Limbaugh, where we are NOT always dependent on children or others. That we can achieve an independent security. YOU BASTARDS of the FOURTH REICH. GO TO HELL. You bastard remove all abilities for humans in America to achieve a financial independent security and GIVE IT ALL – INDEPENDENT SECURITY – to the top-level snots who worship money. YOU BASTARDS. You destroy something which made America a successful nation – in the name of your stupid f***ing ideology. Screw you.
I have used some language to suggest solutions. But are these rejected due to the language? I never abused the 10 Commandments, but I proposed and supported the ideas of Jesus Christ as he violently demonstrated his anger at deceptive wealthy business people. To summarize my SOLUTIONS (in case you missed them or were not able to pull them out of what I wrote), here I go.
1. Rather than reduce Medicare, cut some of the military budget and provide Medicare from cradle to grave. Put our tax dollars to work for the LIVING, not creating the dead. People in territories like Puerto Rico need to pay into it, or declare independence from the USA.
2. Stop scrapping Social Security and bolster it. Keep it at the same age levels. Force people in territories like Puerto Rico to pay FICA (if they don’t already). If Puerto Rico does not pay it’s fair share, shove them off in their own independent nation.
3. FIle lawsuits against the billionaires who are scrapping our government. Whether that be a class action suit or lawsuits by the government. File a series of lawsuits against Stop the “personal injury” lawsuits which pit the common man and woman against the common man and woman, and direct this dirt against those with deep pockets. Instead of hurting ourselves, hurt those who are truly hurting us.
4. Stop the corporatization of education and health care. These are NOT commodities, they are necessities.
5. Give all stock holders of public-traded companies equal votes, not just the ones at the top with the most money, as we watch those bastard pigs take away from those who invest their money in the company – and they don’t have any conscience what so ever. If they were truly being rewarded due to the same “merit” systems these pigs wish to impose on a new slave class, then this would not be necessary. But these guys have no morals what so ever, figuring they can do anything they wish, like the kings of Europe who felt their power was “heaven sent.” That was BS then and it’s BS now. There is not “divine rights,” you bastards at high levels.
6. Regulate the banking and real estate industries to allow moderate long-term growth in housing prices. This is not a dream. This is not an “entitlement,” either. It is just plain common sense for creating opportunities, rather than the type of lopsided top control like that of Haiti and many banana republics, as well as many developing nations. Corrupt money-worshiping people control these governments – permeated by evil people who perpetuate this crap.
7. Create a system of retirement security for hard-working people to achieve and I guarantee it would cost LESS than the one which has been created with bonuses and golden parachutes for myriad corporate money-sucking pigs and money worshipers. I don’t care how this happens, but the best system would be a national pension system bolstered by 401(K) or 403(B) plans – as originally intended.
8. Stop giving away money in the Social Security system to those who have not contributed or abuse the system with their “disabilities.” Create another fund for these people. Primarily, I speak about immigrants who never contribute. If I go to other nations, I am treated this way. I suggest a United Nations regulation of this aspect (not an international pooled fund). It is not right for some people to come to America’s shores and be given money they have come to believe they are entitled to, but me and others recognize we ARE entitled to this money (because we helped fund it) and also recognize we are NOT entitled to funds in Canada or Britain or other Western nations. Go f***, you people who think you are entitle do our American money. F*** those who abuse it through corruption. Strong words? I resent America being turned into a third world nation, as we accept third world nation people. Perhaps the corrupt leaders in Haiti and other nations need to take care of their own and stop the corruption. NIgeria – stop your f***Ing corruption. Stop it now.
9. Stop blindly funding wars around the globe which the American people and our government DO NOT have the funds to do so. Stop listening to an AWOL jerk like George Bush as he flagrantly spent money which he did not have to spend on wars, funding his friend, Dick Cheney (Halliburton), and other munitions companies with OUR (“We the people…”) funds. STOP IT NOW. I support President Obama’s diplomacy and think he makes a strong leader. F*** those who think he is weak because their opinions are BS.
10. Create an energy-independent America and shed our relations with pigs like Saudi Arabian sheiks. PERIOD. Without our military might, the Saudis would be NOTHING. So make them pay. The Saudi pigs take advantage of this nation, using traitors like the Bush family and Dick Cheney. Stop this BS NOW. Charge Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, and other nations with wealthy sheiks for every dollar we lose due to wars in the Middle East. If they don’t pay, withdraw our military support. Make this EVIDENT to the American people, despite a f***Ing media which refuses to expose the truth – supported by the [false] divine right corporatists and Scalia.

“Now why’d you choose such a backward time … And such a strange land?”
In the 1970s, the rock musical, Jesus Christ Superstar was introduced. I purchased the original vinyl album. I have seen the on-stage productions of this rock musical.
At the time JCS was released, we had two students from Cortland State College, student teachers at our high school, boarding with us. I had purchased the album. I found these two guys interesting to speak with about the music of JCS. Many discussions ensued, in addition to discussions about history because the two of them were history history education majors.
Lyrics in JCS were a good description. But I recall the few which asked questions. For example, “Now why’d you choose such a backward time … And such a strange land?” As a junior in high school, it was difficult to answer those questions.
As my life has progressed and I have maintained my faith in God, I believe I have, with wisdom, developed a HYPOTHETICAL answer to those questions. Hypothetical means there is no certainty, but there is plenty of evidence to determine a hypothesis. So we seek wisdom about it.
My wisdom of age, created by humble learning over time, has provided me with a possible answer. Today, we have people who lie, slander, and libel other good people, based on a love of money and materialism. Love of money is evil. Money is NOT evil. Profits are NOT evil, except when done solely for the love of money. I have read about this and learned about this over time.
Guidelines for a civilized society work in creating a civilized society. It is not a perfect solution, but it helps overcome the evils of the selfishness and greed of egomaniacs with a love and worship of money.
The Roman Empire is known as being one of the most brutal and vicious group of people to control a portion of the world which has ever existed. Am I certain about this? No. But I have humbly learned, over time, about this and gained wisdom. There is plenty of evidence and facts to support what I say. Some folks may feel biased against what I say, so go ahead and shoot me down. What will you accomplish in an attempt to find the truth?
The Roman Empire was in control of Israel during the 1st Century. As a Christian all my life, I am aware of most of the teachings of Jesus Christ and consider Him to be the “word” of God made flesh. I consider that Christ came here to be the “light of the world.” Those are MY beliefs and I am not FORCING you, as vicious people do, to believe what I believe.
I feel I have to say all of this because the egomaniacs of the world just work to shoot holes, as if I want control. It’s those people who shoot holes in hypothetical theories, based on their own egotistical bias, who are likely the perverts who wish to control others.
But this brings me to answering that question in the JCS rock musical: “Now why’d you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?” It was due to the opposition our Deity had to how a group of people are treated badly by those who seek power over others in corrupt and evil ways with a love AND WORSHIP of money.
In my belief, based on what I have learned over time, including Thomas Jefferson’s (remember him? one of the USA’s FOUNDING FATHERS?) documentation about the Gospels. This is a Deity who imparts the message that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely (not words from God, but words from human beings who recognize a Deity more powerful than humans; a Deity which imparts a love for His/Her children. (Strange words to say, right? His/Her? God has not always been proven to be a “Father,” but a “Parent”).
Again. I do not expect one to feel controlled by my beliefs. But I also do not have an inkling of desire to follow the beliefs of bashers of other human beings as they resist coexistence.
The word of God became flesh. That is my belief system. The reason was to choose a place and time when one group of people were being controlled by perverted lovers of self and money, while the crowd went along and had the word of God executed. Perverted ones to convince the crowds were lawyers and religious leaders, all with a love of money. Money first. A Deity would choose that time and place to impart the message, as people suffered and were convinced by lovers of money to find a scapegoat.
But is it not possible that scapegoat was determined in order for a Deity to impart the message about loving one another (coexistence)? Is it not possible the message was also about human beings learning to reject those who are hypocrites and lovers of money?
Jesus Christ himself is quoted as hurling accusations at hypocrites of those days; Jesus Christ himself, with actions, not words, overturned tables of the money changers, lovers and worshipers of money. Yet, why is it we relinquish control to give it back to power mongers with a love of money and then blame our government? Even Jesus said, “render unto Caesar his due.” In other words, pay your taxes and look at something else besides scapegoats and a government as the reasons for our problems, out of fear of a “mafioso” in centralized businesses created by supply-side Reaganomics, destroying small business competition in the process.
Adam Smith wrote books about the creation of capitalism. Wealth of Nations and Theories of Moral Sentiments. Adam Smith also intently studied the words of Christ. Yet, the “sheep” in this world go along with the lovers of money who attain the power which corrupts and absolute power which corrupts absolutely. They do not even have knowledge of what Adam Smith wrote which was presented as an economic system with balance and a “moral sentiment” for a process in which humans predominate over money, as presented by Jesus Christ, and not the other way around (money over humans).
Today, we have in place, the SEC which allows the biggest stockholders to have more votes in a corporate stockholder meeting than the common folk who own the stock. It is like these people are money changers during the 1st Century when Jesus Christ walked the earth. They don’t give one damn about the common folk and cheat and lie to get their way. Same thing with those money changers of the 1st Century by not only selling in the temple, but also selling SHODDY and LOUSY animals for sacrifice on the altar.
For many of us, we have experienced the lousy way that those with the most stock have treated us. It was one of the many wars that the shoddy and corrupt people with the most stock, Republicans, pulled the rug out from beneath me and many others. They skimmed money off a cash cow of a company, so as to allow vicious other Republicans (primarily) to come in and buy out the company. The only ones to benefit were the shoddy fat pigs at the top, skimming the money off the corporation. Meanwhile, the rest of us stockholders were not even allowed in secret stockholder meetings held in Houston, Texas (for a Florida corporation) and many of us common folk then lost our stock holdings in the process.
How many times do I have to explain this to common folk, hoping to get support, rather than stupidity hurled at me, as well as hatred from common folk? How many times? And do we really need the return of Jesus Christ when we have the knowledge right here in front of us, given to us in the 1st Century? How many times do we have to pray for “Christ’s return.” A loving Deity may treat us kindly, but that Deity must wonder, “Gosh, I gave them the information when the word became flesh. Why do they not see it?” But I can’t speak for God, as so many TV evangelists and perverted proselytizers try to do – constantly.
My mother even had a problem with proselytizers in her life. But at least there were more people like my mother who understood. My generation and younger generations are apparently full of a bunch of stupid jerks who are not humble enough to learn by seeking knowledge and wisdom, but rely on the hearsay of Fox and other groups who push an end all for everything – a certainty that they have all the answers.
This is a lengthy message. I really don’t care if you don’t like it because it is. Those in the World War II generation and before would read essays of great length. They were able to demonstrate humility and learning for the sake of human beings over money.
JC, JC: “Now why’d you choose such a backward time … And such a strange land?” Because it took that type of environment to get many people to learn. W hat is the problem with those who don’t wish to learn today? Instead, they wish for an Armageddon to start all things over, when the proof is in a Deity who DID teach human beings and there is no excuse for not understanding it. Stop pushing us towards chaos with power and control from lovers and worshipers of money in the form of greedy, self-centered, egomaniac centrally-controlled dictatorial corporations run by an oligarchy. Because you are pushing us towards disaster by supporting such egomaniacs with power. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The foundations for these problems are not the government created by my ancestors and Founding Fathers. The problem is the oligarchy which attempts to take control of our government and take it out of the hands of the people. WE THE PEOPLE. And there are many of us who have wisdom and knowledge based on the TRUE DEITY and the TRUE Jesus Christ. Supply-side Reaganomics ultimately tosses away those of us who are followers of the true word of God made flesh because the ones who worship money are fearful of the loss of their power – a corrupt one which leads to absolute power which corrupts absolutely. And they become like the vicious Roman Empire of the past. Like the vicious rulers who come out of the hills of Russia.
“Now why’d you choose such a backward time… And such a strange land?” Is it for me to know and you to find out? Because the answer is there before us, just by studying and learning about the word of God made flesh. To learn that this happened and for a purpose.
I pity those who do not understand what I am saying. But that is okay. Because I won’t control you with my belief. I just try to teach. I am not a perfect teacher, but I sure to work towards wisdom, not certainty or purity.
I do this because my grandmother was always saying, “judge not lest you be judged.” But she always encouraged me to be a teacher. Praise the LORD for my grandmother and many others who have encouraged me in my life and offered me opportunities, not always handouts. The ones who provided a temporary safety net which may have been in the form of some handouts, but the word “temporary” is important to note here. Then I would encounter the “jubilee year.” Don’t know what “jubilee year” is? Then humble thyself and learn what it is. Would be good for those money lovers to consider when discussing student loan debt.
On and on I go. But I now understand what was meant in the questions found in lyrics of JC Superstar. “Now why’d you choose such a backward time … And such a strange land?” 🙏 🖖
