The government isn’t going after these people (Goldman, JPMorgan etc.) because these people have become the government – and they’re setting up to do it again

You might be a Republican IF…..

By Loren Adams, 13 June 2010

You might be a Republican IF…

You think toilet paper should come in Q’uran and NYT print.

You find nothing contradictory about your sign that reads “Hands Off My Medicare” next to a “Government Run Healthcare Makes Me Sick” sticker on the bumper of your gas guzzling Humvee,

You think that affirmative action is only acceptable for Michael Steele and Marco Rubio.

You don’t like being called “The Party of NO” but instead like being referred to as “The Party of HELL NO!” only because Sarah Palin suggested it.

You think “Semper Fi” should be changed to “Git R Done”

You think your Tea Party posters are not misspelled that read: “I am Joe the Plummer,” or “Make English Americas Offical Langage.” Or “Say No to Socilism.”

You think Stem Cell research is what killed Terri Schiavo

As part of your boycott of all names French, you change the name of your favorite sex toy to “freedom tickler.”

You think the 2000 election was fair & square when Bush stole the White House but the 2008 election was stolen by ACORN for Obama.

You’ve ever announced your gratitude to our troops for fighting for your freedom to drill baby drill and spill baby spill.

You feel your duty in the war on terror is to hunt down Mexicans crossing the border. (Then you hire undocumented workers to do your lawn and housework.)

You think WMD are still in Iraq but hidden by liberals to make Bush look bad.

You think Mark Felts should have been executed for treason before dying of natural causes, and Gordon Liddy should get the medal of freedom.

You’ve ever blamed anything on “Activist Judges” while supporting the Supreme Court decision to reject corporate spending limits on political campaigns.

You think Sarah Palin is a goddess.

You think Rush Limbaugh is the greatest broadcast journalist ever.

You think Barack Obama is Socialist.

In honor of Terri Schiavo, you kept the deer you shot alive for twelve days.

You think there should be a “constitutional exemption” at home to shut your wife up.

You feel the only acceptable time turning left is at a NASCAR race.

You think Capitol Hill should be re-named “Six Flags over Jesus.”

You make your wife wear a “no spin” t-shirt during sex.

You think that listening to three different conservative talk shows and FOX gives you all the variety you need.

You name your testicles “shock” and “awe.”

You wear a strapped-on assault rifle to a President Obama event but would never consider doing the same to a Bush or Palin or Limbaugh or Beck or Hannity rally.

You think that Healthcare Reform includes government death panels designed to kill your grandma.

You’ve ever considered your finest point in an argument to be, “Oh yeah, well, you hate America!”

You feel the “culture of life” should be the standard – that every life is worth the same (except Muslims, Mexicans, gays, Africans, liberals, activist judges, and anyone for gun control).

You think Civil Rights acts were unnecessary and should be repealed, or at least sections of them – the parts dealing with private businesses refusing to serve “coloreds” and the Fair Housing Act.

You think “American exceptionalism” means God singled the US out as the most favored, thus all others are inferior and not divinely blessed.

You’ve ever yelled “Hell yeah, man, I agree!” while Sean Hannity was speaking.

You’ve ever experienced an erection watching Sarah Palin on TV.

You’ve ever twittered Sarah Palin or Michele Bauchmann  love notes.

You registered to vote at a Tractor Pull.

In honor of Bush, you donate to his new “LIBARY” in Texas: two cartons of crayons.

You think that fetuses have a right to life but newborn babies don’t have a right to healthcare even if their parents pay for it.

You consider BP, Halliburton and Transocean Ltd. eco-friendly companies.

Your solution to the BP spill in the Gulf is to nuke ‘em.

You don’t believe in global warming but believe it’s a leftist plot to turn America socialist.

You think scientists that endorse global warming should be arrested and tried for treason.

Your strongest defense for the reason Bin Laden wasn’t caught during the Bush years is “Because they all look alike.”

You think the only solution for the Middle East peace is to bomb them all to hell. (Then let God sort them out.)

Bedding Down With The Devil in Indonesia – Dispatches From The Edge: “History demonstrates that providing training and other assistance only emboldens the Indonesian military to violate human rights and block accountability for past injustices.” This pattern is not confined to Indonesia. A recent study by the Fellowship for Reconciliation found that Colombian army units trained by the U.S. were the troops most likely to be associated with human rights violations. “There are alarming links between increased reports of extrajudicial executions of civilians by the Colombian army and units that receive U.S. military financing,”

Is Bart Simpson Catholic? “A Vatican spokesman recently made this amazing claim. Can you believe it? I never suspected Bart was Catholic. Homer, maybe. While there is a mathematical possibility that this announcement means someone in that cloistered establishment in Rome has developed a sense of humor, I’m going with another hypothesis – that the church is desperate for every member (soul) it can get. If I’m right about this, nobody is safe from being accused of Catholicism – not even a cartoon character. 

The 15% Solution: A Political History of American Fascism, 2001-2022: “The book’s principal purpose is to show how fascism can be gradually introduced into any country, even the world’s greatest democracy, by constitutional means. The lessons for our time are that the maintenance of constitutional democracy requires eternal vigilance and that those forces whose aims are essentially fascist in nature must never be allowed even one bite of the apple of governmental power. For once they have bitten into it, they will eat the whole apple, core and all. No sharing and no returns. Regurgitation only by the application of extreme force.”

Brasscheck: “I’ve been tracking the criminality on Wall Street and in banking for over twenty years. The 2008 meltdown was not only not a surprise to me, I just wondered why it took so long. The mystery and the question I’ve been asking myself is: “Why aren’t these people in jail yet?” An extremely well done new documentary “Inside Job” answers this question…The government isn’t going after these people (Goldman, JPMorgan etc.) because these people have become the government – and they’re setting up to do it again. See “inside Job” and you’ll understand why not only are we not out of the woods, we’re going in even deeper.” Video: http://www.realecontv.com/page/651.html

Silence Of The Lambs: “America prevented dictatorship throughout its history by the practice of “checks and balances” established by the framers. With that foundation, only one other ingredient was necessary to sustain liberty: “An informed citizenry that will maintain vigilance to guard against the encroachment of tyranny,” as Thomas Jefferson outlined. Now we are beset by another dishonorable movement poised to take over in a few days….Not only have they vowed to tear down government, they’ve promised to take down the President. Republicans will investigate the hell out of Barack Obama, find nothing, but continue probing until he’s out of office. They’re committed to making life miserable in America.”

Congressman Considers Move to Impeach Chief Justice John Roberts : “….the Supreme Court has done a tremendous disservice to the United States of America,” DeFazio told ‘The Huffington Post’ last week. “They have done more to undermine our democracy with their Citizens United decision than all of the Republican operatives in the world in this campaign. They’ve opened the floodgates, and personally, I’m investigating articles of impeachment against Justice Roberts for perjuring during his Senate hearings, where he said he wouldn’t be a judicial activist, and he wouldn’t overturn precedents.”

Road to Corporate Serfdom: “It was Bill Clinton’s campaign strategist, James Carville, who in 1992 created the election slogan: “It’s the Economy, Stupid.” For the 2010 Congressional campaigns, the slogan should have been: “It’s Corporate Crime and Control, Stupid.” But notwithstanding the latest corporate crime wave, the devastating fallout on workers, investors and taxpayers from the greed and corruption of Wall Street, and the abandonment of American workers by U.S. corporations in favor of repressive regimes abroad, the Democrats have failed to focus voter anger on the corporate supremacists….

Thomas Jefferson—“I hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”

Abraham Lincoln in 1864—“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. …corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” (1864)

Theodore Roosevelt—“The citizens of the United States must control the mighty commercial forces which they themselves call into being.”

Woodrow Wilson—“Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt—“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.”

Dwight Eisenhower, farewell address—“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”

Theodore Dreiser—“The government has ceased to function, the corporations are the government.”
