Avatars of Thing That Used to be Conservativism Attack Actual Conservatism

Well that didn’t take long.  Tom McDonald notes on his FB page about the political whoring of John McCain and Lindsey Graham as they pull out the long knives to deal with Rand Paul’s uppity protest against our Ruling Class and the Corporatist Police State they service: Rand Paul has finally forced the issue of [...]

Golly, Who Could have Predicted This?

The Wall Street Journal, organ of corporate interests, joins up with the Obama Administration, tool of corporate interests, to tell Rand Paul to shut up about Obama’s secret and unaccountable tyrannical power to murder whoever he feels like.

Colbert Explains the Sequester

I remember when people kept telling me that voting for these feckless twits was “realistic”. Good times. Good times.

Sober Realism

It turns out the US has an “infinite amount of money“, but also that we, who have about 135-145 million workers stand to lose “170 million jobs“. Oh, and a man who has authorized himself to order the murder of anybody on planet earth he chooses–in secret and with zero accountability–is not a dictator or [...]

Thing that Used to Be Conservatism Cheers for Despotism

In our current state of political discourse, the idea of thinking before reacting is getting rarer and rarer.  The Thing that Used to be Conservatism, being almost entire a creature of the Conservative Infotainment Complex, seems to never give much thought to its positions these days beyond, “Does this have a chance of ginning up [...]

The Ruling Class of the United States of America

…taking care of its heroic soldiers in the manner that the rich and powerful have cared for their slaves for centuries: The Air Force has some bad news for the pilots of its F-22 Raptor stealth fighters: Your planes are going to make you feel crappy and there’s not much anyone can do about it.

Cowardly Draft-Dodging War Criminal Backs Obama

…on drone strikes. On the bright side, more voices are being heard on the right and on the left opposing Obama’s secret, unaccountable kill lists.  But the fact that a man like Dick Cheney a) supports him and b) still holds a position of influence in the GOP while c) no serious opposition movement to [...]

Ruling Class Just Keeps Crapping on the Troops

Everything that’s wrong with our Ruling Class in two headlines: Panetta to propose military pay cut… Obama raised Joe Biden’s salary… Sooner or later, it’s going to occur to the people with the guns that these people–the contemptible DC swine who subject them and their families to soul-crushing pressures for years at a time, pay [...]

WIll you please comment on this recent news? As a female Army veteran, I am absolutely appalled. Do we not have enough able bodied men? I have a bunch of other indignant questions running through my mind right now, but here’s the most pragmatic one that every able bodied man who is currently serving should [...]

NY Times recommends scrapping the Constitution

…because people like the creators of the NY Times and our Ruling Class are just so much smarter than the rest of us. Fundamentally undermining the entire legal, social, and civil order of the most awesomely powerful militarist society on the planet, scrapping it and replacing it with something else? What could possibly go wrong? [...]

A Marine writes…

Good freaking grief! We’ve been at war for ten freaking years, with our ruling class treating our military, as Mark says, like cement to be shoveled around the world at will. What do they expect? We are ruled by a criminal class of vampires who suck the life out of these good men and women [...]
