Oh, no bitches! It is on!
Another whackadoodle "calls out" the whackadoodle from the youtube I posted on the 5th. The summery is this: Dear Whackadoodle One; It's not Aliens! It's DEMONS! You need to ask for forgiveness! Love, Whackadoodle Two.

WASHINGTON -- Republicans made significant inroads among gay and lesbian voters in the midterm elections, with national exit polls for the House races showing that the GOP captured 31 percent of the vote of this group this year, compared to 19 percent in 2008.

It sux in terms of the mid-terms and feels odd to me, too, yet, there is a lot of fear in the US right now about the economy and employment. We gotta eat, too. The other thing I believe is happening is a total discust for Congress. Gay and lesbian voters feel as taken as anyone with what goes on in Congress. And perhaps the slap in the face with DADT and Obama has just stuck in many voters craw. I don't want gays, lesbians and the whole of all of what makes up queerdom to vote Republican, but I see where the discontent could come from. I wonder, too, how the actual numbers of registered voters in this group fall in terms of race and class. This could be part of why this happened. What I do know is that employment and the economy is going to be the main issue in 2012, again. My hope is that it gets better, but projections are not looking that way even over 2 years. Which is really scary. |

People are running out of unemployment, so they vote for the party that keeps voting against extending unemployment. People need jobs, so they vote for the party that has blocked jobs bills, has blocked small bank funds that would be used for jobs, and has declared that they will extend tax cuts to millionaires and take away health insurance, but has not mentioned one single thing that they would do to create one single job. People are disgusted with Congress' inability to accomplish anything, so they vote for the party that filibusters everything, stalls judicial nominations (to the point of near-crisis in some places), and refuses, in the Senate, to act on hundreds of pieces of legislation sent over from the House. And, as for DADT, is there anyone with two functioning brain cells in their entire head that thinks a Republican majority will lift even one little pinkie finger's worth of effort to repeal DADT? I understand being frustrated, desperate, angry. But for fucks sake, you don't respond by giving more power to the people that are screwing you sideways.

This is from a few years back. That anti-immigrant racist guy (Le Pen) ran for president 5 times in France. He's no longer running, but his daughter has taken the reins of his far-right-wing party: What a Tea Party Looks Like in Europe I find the tone of this newsweek article pretty unsettlingly complimentary of Le Pen even though it references him as "the man who for decades has played on the inchoate fears, xenophobia, knee-jerk racism, and ill-disguised anti-Semitism of many of his supporters."

Sweet Jesus, Nat. I admit that I don't pay much attention to politics outside of North America...so I really had no idea.
How fucked up is it to hear someone ranting about "anchor babies" in that beautiful language? I hope this clown's daughter does not get a foothold.

Fear is the tool, I think. Of course, the folks most susceptible to fear are the ignorant and uneducated. Fear is such an effective weapon and it's worked extremely well for the Republican party in the past years. It lied us into a war and just about brought down the entire world economy. I'm going to post something here from the script of Michael Moore's movie, Sicko, because I think it what it says applies to everything here about how people vote. (Moore) It seems it benefits the system if the average person is shackled with debt. People in debt become hopeless, and hopeless people don't vote. They always say everyone should vote, but I think if the poor in Britain or the United States voted for people who represented their interests,it would be a real democratic revolution. So they don't want it to happen. So keeping people hopeless and pessimistic... See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralize them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people: "We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of control." The top 1 % of the world's population own 80% of the world's wealth. It's incredible that people put up with it, but they're poor,they're demoralized, they're frightened. And therefore, they think perhaps the safest thing to do is to take orders and hope for the best." ------------------------------------------------------------- ....and that's all I'm going to say about that. ~Theo~
