Biesada: Who Let The Donkey Go Free?
Now with the brilliant assassination of world terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, by our wonderful President, Barrack Hussein Obama, through the abolishment of our war time rules of engagement, and the unlawful performance of an incursion on foreign soil, he proved positive, that our war time rules of engagement are a detriment to our national security. No rules should apply when it comes to keeping American’s safe from invasion. That is our governments primary responsibility … not condoms for school children, back seat safety belts, or a tax on vehicle mileage from an already over taxed populace.
Therefore, I suggest that Lieutenant Michael Behenna, the Leavens worth 10, and all other American troops unjustly tried in our military courts, and sentenced to incarceration for performing their sworn duty in a combat zone, should be released immediately with an official apology, all back pay, and damages for false imprisonment.
I suggest all of our readers contact their Congress persons, and voice their opinion, so that the true hero’s of this profiteer war, go free.
Now for some other news.
An interesting story appeared in the Oregonian News.
An Oregon woman has been diagnosed with a rare disorder that has left her speaking with an English accent, after receiving oral surgery.
Karen Butler, 56, has been diagnosed with “foreign accent syndrome,” a condition so rare that only 60 cases have been documented world wide since the early 1900′s.
I can sort of relate to this story.
Recently, I fell asleep and when I woke up, I thought I was living in a foreign country.
We had a child for a president, and the country was ruled by a two party system comprised of munchkin’s and trolls.
What a friggin nightmare that was, it defied all logic, and proved Jobs Biblical wisdom about,” a witless man can no more become wise than a wild donkeys colt can be born a man.”
Wow, our labor force had been over run by foreign nationals, who demanded tax payer entitlements that broke the bank and ruined the economy.
The main stream media was so infatuated with this man child leader, that they elevated him to the status of a saint, while the rest of the country suffered the harmful effects of his dimwitted policies, which in fact, were an act of domestic terrorism; but our watch dog protectors, and feckless leaders, allowed this stealth tyranny to rapidly advance and transform the nation back into the Feudal System.
Half of it’s parasitic population were useless eaters, slurping out of the public trough, while the other half, were over burdened by an oppressive tax system, which their pubescent president used as his own piggy bank.
This was a very chilling experience to behold, especially after awakening to a nation which was originally founded by patriot’s, who envisioned a self reliant nation, which promoted freedom and liberty, but now stood corrupt, and decaying, under the witless leadership of a fictitious, global stooge, destroying it’s majesticness from within.
The self reliant, law abiding citizens, were hard pressed. They were forced to relinquish their liberty to a subversive government, using the excuse of “security,” to nullify individual rights.
This entire nightmarish scenario defied all reality and common sense, just like a scene out of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
It’s leaders feigned healing wounds, by inflicting more pain on it’s handicapped citizens, while it’s maniacal leader looked down upon the people from his high perch, with arrogance, like the heartless Tin Man, only to be rivaled by his scare crow vice presidents, desire for brains.
The main stream media promulgated propaganda for this adolescent dictator whose megalomaniac personality grew and made him monger for war.
They used lies and deception to gain the approval of the global elite, who had bank rolled him, and propped him up to pull off this extortion scheme, allowing him to steal the seat from an authentic natural born citizen president, not a fraud like him, whose inexperienced war time adventures were drawing scorn and ridicule upon him and his despotic administration.
I started tossing and turning in my sleep. I couldn’t take much more of these ever changing lies and deceit. My heart started pounding while my body begin to sweat, I woke up right after the scene which the main stream media had been inundating us with ad-nauseam, all week.
The famous war room scene which shown our wizardly president, cowering, brainless, Joe Biden, Leon Panetta, the New Head of the CIA, some military officials, and Secretary of State, Ol’ Paint, Hillary Clinton, looking aghast, intently watching a video screen as our Navy Seals performed the execution of World Terrorist, Osama bin Laden, in real time.
After numerous changing versions, Hillary claims that she wasn’t watching an assault on bin Laden, they were watching old re runs of Sanford and Son instead.
Whoa! This is when I woke up but alas … this isn’t a dream, it’s for real and we’ve been screwed again. This couldn’t have happened in a free society, unless of course, all 535 members of Congress were afflicted with “foreign language syndrome,’ or Treason !
I’d better go back to sleep.
The next time I wake up, if these same screw balls are in charge, we just might be going to war … for real!

Republicans = Democrats…
No Difference, They ‘ALL’ must be voted ‘out of any government’ service Forever. No special salary,retirement or medical benefits for ‘social workers’.
1/3 of the USA do not pay Income Taxes, 1/3 of the USA are Federal,State,Local and Military Governmental Employees.. the remaining 1/3 of the USA WORK and PAY the Income Taxes !
This is such, so that the Federal government can rule to give the non-productive useless people like Federal,State,Local government servants employment to secure a “Voting for Your Jobs” situational lifestyle. Thus guaranteeing 535 Congress people(a Fed,State,Local monarchy) plus Supreme Court employees systematic continual ‘ruling status’ FOREVER.
“They are only 1%.”
Focusing on the top 1% is just a concise way to illustrate the problem. And it is a problem, for those concerned with maximizing personal liberty, that more and more resources be consolidated in the hands of fewer and fewer people with ever greater control over our political system. Their interests are not the same as yours are.
Concentrating wealth in the hands of an unaccountable few is not a good recipe for a government that functions in the interest of the people. Your reading of the Federalist papers ought to have taught you that.
“I don’t care how much the top 1% earns.”
I wouldn’t either, if their increase in pay over the last few decades reflected their increased value in the market rather than as a result of their influence over our political system. But, as I have been trying to show, we live in a country where large corporations don’t pay any taxes, where under-regulated industries externalize their losses at taxpayer expense (i.e. the Gulf oil spill and the collapse of the financial industry in 2008), and where the oil industry receives huge subsidies from tax payers while making record profits (not revenue, profits). The oil industry is the most profitable industry in the history of the world and they still receive taxpayer money. You forfeit your right to bitch about taxes or the deficit it you don’t see a problem with that.
“As an aside, my income has not decreased over the last decade. It has, in fact, increased.”
Bully for you. If you had been in the same job during that time you would have seen no where near an 18% wage increase, in fact your wages most likely would have decreased, that’s the point.
“Concentrating wealth in the hands of an unaccountable few is not a good recipe for a government that functions in the interest of the people.”
This should have read, “Concentrating power in the hands of an unaccountable few…” Thanks.
I was not bragging about my increase in salary over the last decade (and yes, I have had the same job….for 30 years, actually). I was pointing out that you were wrong to assume that everyone who does not work for the oil companies has seen decreases in their income. That’s a very bad assumption on your part.
This should have read, “Concentrating power in the hands of an unaccountable few…”
THAT is an accurate statement. It’s not that they make so much money, it’s that the politicians are purchased with that money. That doesn’t make the companies bad, that makes the politicians bad.
Large corporation don’t pay taxes because the politicians legislate to allow them. (Tax loopholes)
Under-regulated industries externalize their losses at taxpayer expense because the politicians legislate to allow it. (Buy-outs)
The unaccountable are the despotic politicians who are bought and sold in the quest of power or recognition or whatever. They need to remember why they are in office and grow a spine.
And whose fault is it that power is concentrating in an unaccountable few? It is the fault of the unaccountable, easily purchased politicians. Place blame where blame is due please.
FYI…I have worked in the same job for the last 30 years.
FYI…I can “bitch” about anything I choose.
Granny, if you disagree with something I have said please point out where I am wrong. That’s what adults do.
I n all my many years on this earth I have never found it productive to engage with those who suffer from Chronic Cranial Constipation.
It takes up too much time with nothing but a lot of grunting to be heard. If you can’t see where you are in error then it is because your *vision* is obstructed by all those fecal filled pockets that fill the space above your neck.
Perhaps you need to partake of a good mental cleansing and clear your mind of all that gibberish you like to try to impress others with. You remind me of the rooster out back that keeps crowing when it is the HEN who laid the eggs – not the rooster.
It’s ashame all your years on earth haven’t taught you to keep your mouth shut when you don’t have anything productive to say. Anything else you write that has nothing to do with anything will simply be ignored. Thanks.
You finally figured it out
What you have to say means nothing to others so why don’t YOU shut up????
Or – do you only come here to bloviate and pretend you are the sharpest fart in the air?
I have tried to read the ramblings of the writer who goes by “InviQtus” and have concluded that this person is suffering from an undiagnosed case of cranial diverticulitis – those pockets that develop along the colonic passageways of the brain and become filled with that material that should exit the body but somehow becomes STUCK – creating a pocket of CRAP that good material can’t seem to get passed.
I would encourage “InviQtus” to seek immediate treatment as this could be life threatening.
Gee Granny, we always referred to it as “Cranial Rectitus.” That would be a terminal case of head up the butt.
Ring-a-ling
your term is head entering the crap hole
My diagnosis is that the head is filled with crap (on the inside not the outside)
The ‘exit’ in my diagnosis means that the SOURCE of the crap is in their brains while standing upright.
If they bent over and inserted their heads up their exit hole – they would be covered inside and outside.. :)
Yes, I understand. I believe thats’ what that annoying fellow suffers from.
““the top 1% control 40% of the wealth”.
They also pay at least 50% of the tax burden.”
True, but while the tax rate payed by the top 1% has not changed much, it is important to note what has changed for them over the past 25 years. The amount of wealth they control has risen from 33% to 40%. Their incomes have risen 18% over the past decade while wages for the rest of us have declined. We are currently at a level of economic disparity more comparable to Russia.
““I would just like everyone to be made to pay their fair share of taxes”
So….you would like EVERYONE to pay 50%?”
GE made 14.2 billion dollars worldwide last year. How much did they pay in taxes? Less than you did. It fact they received a tax benefit of 3.2 billion. (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/business/economy/25tax.html?_r=3&hp=&pagewanted=all) Does that seem fair to you?
““Why does government do so many things that you guys don’t like?”
Hmmm…because most of what they do is unconstitutional.”
In my experience with you guys “unconstitutional” usually just means stuff you all don’t like. But, whatever…this does not answer the question. Let me ask it differently: Why does the government do so many things you guys think is “unconstitutional”?
““…but only if it functions as it is suppose to and acts in the interest only of the will of the people.”
That, my dear Inviqtus, is the crux AND the solution to the problem. And that is exactly what the Tea Party and many others absolutely DO realize is the crucial fact, and is EXACTLY why they are “attacking” the government.”
Right, it is currently not acting entirely in accordance with the will of the people. My point is that the problem is not with government per se, rather it is with how our political system currently functions- specifically, the undue influence of big money in the political system. That’s a problem because dumbly attacking government would be worse that ineffective. But you didn’t say anything about any of that. Is it a problem, or isn’t it? What would happen if that problem were fixed? Do you think making government independent from moneyed interests and thus answerable solely to the people might, you know, make government more answerable to the people?
I don’t care how much the top 1% earns. I really don’t. They are only 1%. (As an aside, my income has not decreased over the last decade. It has, in fact, increased. I put myself through school and I work hard. I accept that I get paid what I get paid because it is proportional to what I put in to schooling. I can’t be envious or judgmental of those who make more because they either worked harder or were born under a luckier star.)
What I do care about are the ever-increasing multitudes who have not taken advantage of the myriad of opportunities this country affords them to better themselves…to improve their lifestyle…to be something other than a sloth who enjoys life off of MY sweat.
“Do you think making government independent from moneyed interests and thus answerable solely to the people might, you know, make government more answerable to the people?”
That is only one item on a VERY long list of problems with the government. It’s quite a convoluted disaster, decades in the making. And we “guys” don’t like unconstitutional stuff because it’s like…..unconstitutional. Again, I would suggest you delve into the Federalist Papers.
I also agree with Rick when he says “The key to life is being self reliant, not a moaner.” I am by no means a rich person…I don’t have everything I would like. But I do have everything I need. And I am content because I earned it.
“The “poor-me-I-deserve-what-they-have- because-it-just-isn’t-fair-and-I’m-certainly-NOT-going-to-lift-a-finger-when-we-can-tax-them-more” crowd is really grating on my nerves. There is a solution to every problem if you are willing to find it and work toward it.”
I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. But of course that’s because it is no where near a fair representation of the views that I hold. Some government services are essential (national defense, police and fire services, maintenance of the justice system, public education, at a minimum)and have to be paid for with tax payer money. I would just like everyone to be made to pay their fair share of taxes. In a nation like ours where the top 1% control 40% of the wealth and large companies pay less in taxes than a bus driver, you can’t argue that the system is operating fairly. That’s what is grating on my nerves.
One of my main problems with you guys is that you complain about socialism when we are actually rapidly becoming a plutocracy. Why does government do so many things that you guys don’t like? When you consider how much large corporations and moneyed interests contribute to election campaigns and when you consider what then comes to be the priorities of government, and when you see who benefits most, it ought to be clear that government does what it does because of the undue influence of big money in the political system.
I think you guys ought to realize that government is not the only threat to liberty and prosperity. It is suppose to be the bulwark against those other threats, but only if it functions as it is suppose to and acts in the interest only of the will of the people. Failing to realize that crucial fact, as I think many in the Tea party camp do, and focusing efforts just on attacking government succeeds only in making the problems you are trying to solve worse.
Now, the issue of the proper extent of the welfare state has also been raised in this discussion. I don’t want to skirt that issue but first I would like for someone to address the argument I just made and let me know where you think I am wrong. By the way, Rick, thank you for the kind response. You are the wind beneath my wings.
“the top 1% control 40% of the wealth”.
They also pay at least 50% of the tax burden.
“I would just like everyone to be made to pay their fair share of taxes”
So….you would like EVERYONE to pay 50%? (or more? Since you don’t seem to think that is enough for some?) What would be fair payment for the bottom 30% who currently pay 0%? The bottom 30% who benefit from all the education, health care, food, and welfare that they get on the backs of the other 70% who do pay taxes.
“Why does government do so many things that you guys don’t like?”
Hmmm…because most of what they do is unconstitutional.
“…but only if it functions as it is suppose to and acts in the interest only of the will of the people.”
That, my dear Inviqtus, is the crux AND the solution to the problem. And that is exactly what the Tea Party and many others absolutely DO realize is the crucial fact, and is EXACTLY why they are “attacking” the government.
Semper fi, Ring
InvicQtis – Hey I’m not worried, I’m happy,the revolution is right around the corner, so it doesn’t matter which actor they install into the presidency, he’ll be dragged through the streets, tarred and feathered, then sent back to his global corporate sponsors in a body bag.
It doesn’t matter to me if he’s a Socialist Democrat, or a tight assed, feckless Republican, but I kind of wish it’s a Democrap, being that Obama has GE, Verizon, and the Bank of America, pulling his strings not to regulate their industry, so they can make hugh profits which we are going to stealonce the revolution begins.
You my friend, seem to worry too much. You worry about the teachers pay. Why?
You worry about health insurance. Why? Our hospitals have to treat everybody whether they have insurance or not. Don’t worry – Be Happy !
If teachers are so stupid to want to work for low pay, that’s their problem, or their union’s problem. Blame the union negotiator, or the dumb teacher for not being smart enough to excell in another field. Actually, alot of people might say that our teachers are being over paid for the few months out of the year that they make their appearance.
I never worried about job insecurity, Ive always found work, mostly self employed. Their is pleanty of work out their if you look for it. The key to life is being self reliant, not a moaner. Don’t worry about other people, fend for yourself, but most of all, be Happy. You are living in the greatest country in the world, and you have the best publication on the planet to read.
Be Happy !
Thank you Rick. I’m surprised you were as nice to him as you were. I tip my hat to you, sir.
“Half of it’s parasitic population were useless eaters, slurping out of the public trough, while the other half, were over burdened by an oppressive tax system, which their pubescent president used as his own piggy bank.”
Don’t worry Rick, thanks to the work of free market evangelists and the (usually poor) conservatives that have naively followed them over the past 30 years- despite having a democratic president- you still payed more in taxes last year than GE, Verizon, Bank of America, etc. Teachers still make squat. If your job is outsourced you still won’t be able to afford to be retrained in another field. You won’t receive much in the way of unemployment so your kids may have to miss Christmas. If you get sick your insurance still will probably drop your coverage leaving you with massive bills you can’t pay. Also no significant regulations have been put in place to prevent another financial catastrophe allowing big corporations to make obscene profits and leave the bill for the taxpayer when the bubble finally bursts, all because we have been lead to believe that regulations equal socialism!
Don’t worry Rick. None of that has changed. Job insecurity, massive economic disparities, a tattered, barley existent social safety net, corporate power that far exceeds that of the American electorate, and many other things that you apparently love are still alive and well. Look on the bright side, maybe if the Republicans win big in 2012 it can get even worse!
Do you really believe you own line of Bull Shit, or are you that freaking obtuse? Inquiring minds need to know.
What, specifically, did I say that is bullshit?
Inviqtus,
You need to spend some time reading the Federalist papers and discover what this country was intended to be, and was until the early 1900′s when people started giving up on their own abilities and started demanding government intervention for their every ail.
The “poor-me-I-deserve-what-they-have- because-it-just-isn’t-fair-and-I’m-certainly-NOT-going-to-lift-a-finger-when-we-can-tax-them-more” crowd is really grating on my nerves. There is a solution to every problem if you are willing to find it and work toward it. Yes….there is!!!
Get a hold of yourself man, tighten the belt, break a sweat, make a sacrifice. You get out of life what you put into it.
If CONgress had any Balls, they would impeach this SOB. Yeah, right!
