No More Complaining -- it's time to stand up.

Once again, I'm ready to give up reading the news. Every time I read some of the crap being foisted on the ignorant American public, I want to scream, and scream, and scream -- if you do stuff like that too often, they "put you away" -- except -- with the NEW budget cuts coming, and the various layoffs, there won't be anyplace to put me, nor will there be any kind of care to get me "better".

First let's look at this little tidbit: "Apples & Oranges: If you count Social Security as “wages” and Medicare payments as “salaries”, then 35% the nation's wages and salaries are made up of these “social welfare benefits”. Usual prize for identifying the tomfoolery behind this view of life.".

Then we have: "Budget Balancing: “You should always remember that the GOP comes to bury Medicare, not to save it.”."

Followed by: "Facts in a Certain Order: The US budget has a deficit. The US has an enormous public debt. Social Security cannot – by law – spend money it did not get via FICA taxes. Social Security has not caused even one penny of any year's deficit nor ever added one cent to the cumulative debt of the United States. People tell lies.".

Yet, and still, the "conventional wisdom" told us by folks who will NEVER NEED MEDICARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY is that these "entitlements" MUST be "reformed".

As usual it's a CROCK OF SHIT!!

Now, once again, another anti-gay politico (State Sen. Carl Kruger of New York) has been outed. He has also been indicted in a one million $ bribery scheme. He voted against marriage equality in "The Empire State". This is a dishonest, self-loathing piece of @#*&^. Nor is he the only one around.

Next, there is a report that the Broadway version of the musical "Priscilla Queen Of The Desert" has been "adjusted" for American audiences -- the "rawness" has been "toned down" -- much of it on advice from Bette Midler, the former "Bath House Queen" who has become oh-so-very-conservative ever since her gay audience catapulted her to stardom.

I guess American audiences are unable to handle overt sexuality these days -- unless it's about fallen-conservative-preachers-or-politicians.

We have folks like Rand Paul in power. We have violently anti-abortion, and anti-woman, folks telling the majority how THEY have to live their lives -- while calling for "smaller government".

We have climate change deniers deciding how we are going to die -- because their "policies" WILL lead to our deaths.

This is just stuff on the surface. Just stuff that ANYONE can see by reading the news -- and yet, people WANT to ignore it. They WANT to live in la-la-land -- then, when the shit REALLY "hits the fan" -- they will blame Gays, Mexicans, Liberals, and anyone who knows how to read. We have a population that is complicit in their own destruction.

Unless the left can get its act together. Unless we can get beyond all the identity politics. Unless we can end the sway religion has on people. Unless we can stop attacking people just like us -- excerpt for minor differences, like race -- we truly are doomed.

It's time for a "Peoples Party". It's time for some class consciousness. It's time for the same type of class warfare waged from above to be waged from below.

Please try to remember, we are CITIZENS -- not "subjects".

By the way, it's about time EVERYONE realizes Obama is a total LOSER as President. A gutless wonder with no understanding of the lives of "real people".

He is too rich, too privileged, too ready to BE Ronnie Raygun. Better he idolized FDR!
