In Phoenix, Capitol police fired flash grenades and smoke bombs to break up a demonstration at the state Capitol building. The Republicans as to be expected, called it an “Insurrection.” Because a poor education leads to poor comprehension skills. They can’t conceive or swanee out the differences between the last man in the Alamo from a punk holding up a liquor store with a handgun.
It’s all part of the training to fuzz the picture, making it harder to discern the difference between a man who peacefully takes a knee during the national anthem with being unamerican. An old and tired song that nobody can sing and should have been replaced before Eisenhower was in rompers. But I guess we’re stuck with it now. John Kennedy said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.”
But to the huddled heathen masses of the poorly educated single syllable simians. All Protest is Wrong! “This is the greatest country that’s ever been (Spit.) Ya hears! Don’t you never say not nothing double negative about this country, ya hear?”(Spit.)
Why did the founding fathers give us these rights then, if it is so wrong to use them? The Republicans believe, everything is wonderful in this country. That it’s perfect, just the way Jesus made it when he landed on Plymouth rock. But of course, those on top with the most skin in the game would feel like that. Those with money uses that money to buy power to protect their money. This is a small group; we’ll call them type A Republicans.
A six-figure income with vast stocks and real-estate holdings. And if you lose your job, it doesn’t matter one whit. You and your children could live on your holdings forever. Health insurance? No worries. Car problems, landlord or mortgage problems? Grocery shopping problems? No, none of that. So obviously, these people think America is pretty great. I’m might even agree and join with them, if I lived such a life of comfort and financial ease.
But the type A’s have a problem, in that there aren’t near enough of them to win an election. So, they focus their message on type B Republicans. Middle class to lower middle class or aspiring to lower middle class. They preach to the poorly educated penny stinkers the gospel of death panels. You don’t want National Health Care that’s bad! There’s no climate change, let the free market work!
The people profiting from the current system telling the people abused by the current system how lucky they are. Only focusing on the positive side of the ledger and with a specific excuse for anything that goes wrong. Vladimir Putin starts an unprovoked war of aggression in Europe. In conjunction with our Allies, the US suspends purchases of Russian oil. (3% of supply.) Oil prices soar, and oil companies make record profits and the Republicans blame…Joe Biden.
The type A’s shout to the high heavens about inflation but have no beef with their oil stocks performance. The type B’s fret and worry about dirty books in the library or who is in the restroom and why. The type A’s don’t worry about such trifles. They send their kids to a private school, because they don’t want their kids to be around your kids. You know, them. Those dirty little urchins of all different colors from that dirty little world, across the other side of the railroad tracks.
They just want your vote, not your company. The only way the type A can succeed, is by bamboozling the type B’s into thinking they could be type A’s too! Sure, you’re one of us friend, around November. The bandwagon approach, everyone is doing it! Everyone is voting Republican, just everybody! Juiced up and made National Enquirer fresh, by inflammatory levels of complete and total bullshit. A custom-made flag waving Big Brother, with two minutes of hate and Goldstein reports on the hour.
The lottery is the truest indicator. Ask someone what they would do if they won the lottery. They will tell you if they are a Republican or Democrat. If they say, buy a fancy car and a big house and travel the world, there are probably a Republican. If they say, “pay off my mama’s mortgage and buy her a new car.” They’re probably a Democrat. Republicans think of what money can buy, while Democrats think of what money can do.
That ten-million-dollar city windfall could really improve the schools or would make a dandy tax cut. One side wants to build; the other side wants their money back. The type A’s have their pockets full but want more. They don’t give a shit about your kids. They don’t give a shit about the homeless.
They don’t give a shit about Covid. They own the hamburger joint; they don’t work there. “Get back to work, you don’t look sick to me.” When they say “Your” taxes are too high. What they really mean is that “Their” taxes are too high. I guess we will just have to do away with the arts program.
A minority of type A’s using the marionettes of type B’s have used their influence to pack the court. The Extreme court has always been the safety valve for the idle rich, against the tyranny of the majority. When coal barons and cotton mills employed thousands of children. The court ruled, that there was nothing wrong with eight-year-old children doing back breaking labor for ten to twelve hours a day.
When runaway slaves were the issue, the court ruled you should keep your receipt. Your property is always your property, no matter how far it runs away. When Civil Rights became the issue, the court decided to give them half a loaf and see if that would shut them up. “See! It’s separate, but it’s equal! Isn’t that good? Isn’t that fair? Are you happy now! It says so right there on the paper “Separate” but “Equal!” What a great leap forward! You get a new basketball, and we get a new gymnasium.
The current court is nothing less than a runaway mine train. The embodiment of all the insanity and stupid bible thumping Republican ideas of the past 50 years. This court would authorize concentration camps. This court has become a clear and present danger to the people and to the freedom of the United States. And as such, it must be altered or replaced immediately.
Congress should postpone all other recreation and impeach and arrest Clearence Thomas. The January 6th rabble are already on their way to federal prison, yet Clearance is still on the bench. How can a man involved with sedition and possible treason, still be on the bench?
As for the others, lying under oath is a federal crime. Lying to congress under oath is a federal crime. Lying on a federal job application is a federal crime. Knowingly lying for the purposes of advancing an agenda surreptitiously, is a criminal conspiracy punishable by up to 20 years in prison. A supreme court involved in a criminal conspiracy is null and void. A corrupt court can only issue corrupt rulings. A corrupt court is then by definition, the voice of tyranny.

“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.”
