Worse, for the USA and Israel, it looks as though the path resolves itself to the status quo — an authoritarian dictatorship committed to peace with Israel — else (most likely) an emergent democracy hostile to Israel and probably the precursor to the first full blown war since 1973.

Too many words. More pictures. From there, it’s only a short step to:

Strange how “states rights” people feel free to interfere in other states’ elections. And how “libertarians” are happy to accrete “Czar”-like powers that they would decry in any other hands. Funny how that works. Kind of like Ayn Rand screeching against Social Security and Medicare then, under her husband’s name, having her Social Security and Medicare benefits paid in as secret a manner as was possible.

Michelle Bachmann (favorite for many years of Club for Growth). And the Tea Party Express, started after the successful takedown of California Governor Gray Davis, by the same major players, it isn’t actually “Tea Party” but a money making venture of Russo, Marsh + Rogers, a Sacramento California “political” shop.

We spend over half of our discretionary budget on our military, which is 8 or 9 times more than is spent on any other military in the world. The military (i.e. “Pentagon”) budget is sacrosanct.

And we like to silence those who dissent…. Continue reading →

So, do I think they’ll find a “reason” to get rid of the liberals on MSNBC? Continue reading →

I don’t know if anybody’s noticed, but GOVERNMENT is falling apart all over the world, as ancient grudges and vendettas take over for the “rule of law” (which we Americans have so thoughtlessly tarnished and debased over the last decade or so, or don’t you remember the impeachment?), and as Western Democracies are paralyzed by hung Parliaments and split legislature.

However, one thing seems certain: MSNBC as now constructed is headed for the graveyard of wherever phosphor dots go when they die, perhaps a suburb of the Land of the Freed Balloons. Continue reading →
