Because Bush Lied, More Children will Die

By now, most of us have seen pictures of the innocent children who were murdered by nerve gas, provided by the Syrian regime. Truly horrific. If anyone in our country did that to, say, a kitten or a penguin, the punishment would have been severe and already have been meted out. But Assad has killed thousands of human beings and is now gleefully thumbing his nose at the world. Why is he getting away with gassing little kids?

One word: Iraq. Because the Bushistas lied the world into invading that country, nobody believes Obama now. We hear it at the UN, see it in Parliaments and Congress, and read about it in the media. Citizens of the world hear “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and immediately say “bulls***”.

Bush The Dumber has much to answer for, from 9/11 to the Middle East and the global economic collapse. But this may be the most heartbreaking result of his ill-advised and illegitimate occupation of the White House: because he and his cabal lied about WMD in Iraq all those years ago, people are justifiably suspicious when a President talks about WMD being used today.

And that suspicion leads to inaction. Said inaction is then taken by a brutal, murdering dictator as tacit permission to kill at will. Which he is doing even as we speak.

Another hod of brimstone will surely be heaped upon the fire when the Shrub meets his maker. Punishment for the deaths of these poor children, who died convulsing in agony and struggling to breathe through the lungs that were destroyed by chemical weapons in Syria. But Bush’s eventual and eternal punishment will not bring the kids and their mothers back to life, nor will it make it any easier to stop such international war crimes from happening in the future.

The Majority is Supposed to Run America

Ancient Rome occupied quite a bit of real estate at one time, and though they were a minority in most of their Empire, they were able to rule over the majority through various means. Eventually, though, the majorities in each occupied nation got tired of being screwed over, and revolted. Buh-Bye, Roman Empire.

England once occupied even more of the globe than Rome, and though the English were a minority in most of their empire, they were able to rule over the majority through various means.  Eventually, though, the majorities in each occupied nation (like America, India, Scotland, and so on) got tired of being screwed over, and revolted. Buh-Bye, British Empire

We are seeing this happen elsewhere on a smaller scale in Syria today – minority is ruling a majority and screwing them over. The majority has gotten sick of it and is revolting. Pretty soon, it’ll be Buh-Bye, Assad. We saw it in South Africa, too. Majorities eventually get tired of being boinked and rise up, usually causing a lot of death and destruction in the process.

Today, America is increasingly heading towards minority rule – a small group of wealthy individuals are using the tax code to their benefit, buying our “representatives”, using their ownership of the media to give us the mushroom treatment, rigging elections, and so on. Pretty much the same thing as Caesar and Quadaffi did in their times; and Americans are slowly waking up to this reality. When enough of them get ticked off enough, it will not be pretty.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are both members of this minority. They could be poster children for this group, in fact. They do not understand the lives of ordinary Americans, but they wish to rule a nation full of them.  Say what you will about Obama and Biden (and this writer has said plenty), neither of them was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Hell, half the time they didn’t have silver of any sort, but they each worked their own way up and made themselves successes.

Not Romney. He started rich and got richer. Ditto Ryan. They and their little clique will screw us all over to such an extent that people will start getting really pissed off.  And when that happens, it’ll be Buh-Bye to America as we have known it.  And that would really suck.

HONEST Sack of S*** of The Week

Yes, you read it right, Mr. Blunt and Cranky is changing it up a wee bit this week. Still the same Crown O’ Polished Turds to anoint the skull of the week’s worthy victor, but instead of bestowing it upon a liar, we are handing it to someone whose actions well and truly match his rhetoric: Willard Mitt Romney.

Willie Boy, you may know, campaigns ofttimes against those nasty rules and regulations that so inconvenience the financial industry. He rails against Dodd-Frank and such at the drop of a campaign check. One might call this empty rhetoric, but one would be wrong.

And how does your humble correspondent know this? How can he discern the flame of truth burning beneath the amazingly odd hairdo of Mr. Mitt? Two things:

Number A: His offshore accounts and refusal to disclose information about his finances. He truly IS opposed to disclosure, transparency, and rules and regulations, and proves it by living those “values”.

Letter 2: He is holding fund-raisers in London with the poor, downtrodden victims of law and order at Barclays et.al. For a mere $75,000.00 apiece, they might crave to enter the room and hear his soothing, healing words; and see for themselves his determination to cast off the rule of law that weighs so heavily upon the multimillionaires who are so victimized by the social order.

Yessireebob, Mitt is being 100% honest when he says he wants to get rid of those pesky laws that get in the way of anyone trying to earn a few billion bucks. The first Honest Sack of S*** of The Week. Wear that crown on your European trip, Mr. Romney, the better to fit in with anyone you might happen to meet who sports similar headgear.
