Distractions and Sedatives Induced to the American Masses

The latest up to date diversions and fears fostered upon the U.S. masses by the millionaire TV talking heads who shout up hate and fear and the more they do it, the more money they make and help themselves to ensure their position in the 24 hour cable TV news(propaganda) business. Oh yes, some right wingnut politicians both in and out of office are fanning the fear fantasys of the masses also.

Salmonella from eggs. Since most people don't eat them raw and cook them, no problem.
Just another hysteria that rears it's head like the various flus, lettuce, Dengue fever in Florida, etc. These media made hysterias come around just like regular return visits of hurricanes. Expect them.

Poor baseball player Roger Clemens. Imagine, congress is charging him with lying about steroid use. Gee, a bunch of truthful legislators are actually charging a baseball legend with lying. Imagine that!

Building a Muslim community center two blocks from the 9-11 site. Like who gives a shit. It neither causes me to lose money or make money, eat or not eat, have fun or not have fun. Religion is religion---the people infected by all religions are going to do what they want in their fervent zeal. Even the founding Father Thomas Jefferson said he could not fight against religious ignorance. Go back to the 1920s and see what an uproar was caused by putting up a Jewish Temple in certain neighborhoods. Or witness the outcry in the small southern Baptist towns when a Catholic church was being built in the twenties. Or more recently, A Catholic for President like Kennedy. Hell no.

The M&M's , Mexican and Muslim are going to be the object of hate and fear with that slice of the our citizenry who feel less than adequate. Last time I read our Constitution, the part about Religious freedom was not cut out.

For my part, I don't care for the dark forces of religious superstition and don't care for any religion. But, the Constitution allows anyone to build a structure to bay at the moon if they want to.

Illegal aliens and Arizona law and subsequent overturning of it in Fed. court. Why hell, those Spanish speaking Indo-Hispanics such as Juan the dishwasher are going to bankrupt this country and cause every English speaking person to be deaf , dumb and mute as they will not be able to understand what's going on. Every damn grape, cherry,tomato, orange picking one of them should be rounded up and sent where they came from. The same goes for every tile laying, brick laying, landscaping, framing and roofing brown skin SOB should be removed from our pure blood society.
Just because their work product help build America doesn't mean doodly squat. We need to change our Constitution and not allow their offspring born in the US, even those who serve in our military, to stay here.

Obama is a closet Muslim born in Kenya who wants to convert this country to Islam and while doing so wants to change our form of government into some socialistic, fascistic , Islamist, Nazism, communist form. He definitely is not
a Christian like our citizens. It's a good cynical ploy to distract from the real issues.

It's a high octane high for millionaire TV talking heads who pat their celebrity heads while promoting disingenuous diatribes about free speech and sacred free markets and the American Dream. The democrats are saying he needs to show more Christianity by seeing him prostate in prayer at a church and the republicans are saying he's a muslim. Not to all---Our Constitution specifically declares that there is no religious test or requirement to be President or hold public office.

This is: Saturday Night Battle of the Blowhards - the vicious video game of American media culture. Nothing is more fun than a zealot, a microphone and two minutes of hate. The ratings jump and the pundit's paychecks zoom higher in direct proportion to the level of controversy.

Gay marriage in California court case. Hell, that's going to affect our blissful heterosexual marital conditions in this country notwithstanding that 50 of modern marriages end up in divorce and 40% of children born in the United States are bastards. Poor Sara Palin's bastard grandchild--Deuteronomy 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.Since gays do not produce bastards, it would see to be a good thing if they could marry and would encourage the morality of only having sex within marriage.

Returning the marginal Fed. Tax rate before Bush only for the couples making over $250,000--wow! going from 36% to 39.6%. Whoooo! A whopping 3.6% increase for those whose NET INCOME after deductions is over $250,000. ie the GROSS income would
generally have to be north of $350,000. We're paying the lowest marginal rates in my lifetime. U.S. Corporations pay the lowest effective tax rate anywhere. Because of the thousands of corporate deductions and use of offshore tax sheltering corporations. The right wing pundits would have you believe that our economy would get legs again if we lowered taxes and all would be hunky dory. You can't lower any lower than zero which
most oil companies pay.

Mandatory health insurance unconstitutional. Forget auto insurance which is mandatory and Homeowners and Flood if you have a mortgage. So mandatory health insurance is unconstitutional , but auto, home and flood no. Go figure Senator blowhard.

Al Quai da is under ever rock and in every country and if we don't hunt them down and exterminate every single last one of them, they will descend on us like locusts and cut our heads off. They will come by land, air and sea. They will sneak across our porous borders. They will fly in courtesy of American Airlines. They will make balsa rafts and mount a beach landing. Be afraid. Beeee very afraid. Common sense
tells any rational person that for every one you kill, you create two or more. Why we can spend trillions killing them through this century. Well, we could if we don't go broke first.

Lindsey Lohans future after being incarcerated. This is important to know and talk about.

Is Bret Favre really going to return and play for the Vikings?

Is Tiger Woods finished?

There's new ones every week. It's hard to keep up with the newest methods to sedate and divert the American public from serious issues that can bring down our
Republic like lowered educational expectations, off shoring of jobs, bloated defense(offense) spending, rising health care costs, budget deficits, trade deficits, etc

Meanwhile, China and Russia and I suspect a lot of other countries are patiently doing their thing and watching the crumbling of the American Empire due
to the disfunctionality of it's evolved social structure and diversion from reality. They can readily see that our political system is total chaos and our people
are fearful and confused with a crashing economy. They know that the military/industrial complex has ballooned for the sake of profit and is adverse to
the American citizen's interests. Most of the major corporate sectors such as Big Pharma, Medical and Hospital Corporations, Oil Corporations, Media
Corporations, Banking and Financial Corporations are adverse to the common citizen's interest. It's all about profit and corporate responsibility to society be damned.

Our elected officials, aided and abetted by millions of corporate lobbyists have become corrupt petty thieves for their millions in corporate donations.
You Joe Blow and Mary Nobody don't stand a chance against this corporate bribery. You nobodies are also being media manipulated against your own interests.


After a couple of days of driving through back roads(not the interstates) and rural communities which we do every summer, I can positively tell you we have a lot of growth in two
facets of American life. The growth of "Jesus" churches and the raw poverty of our people. If you sit in the comfort of your home watching TV, you might
not notice the "Jesusification" of America unless you listen to the many evangelical TV and radio stations. You definitely will not confront the raw face of utter poverty
that I have seen spread over the same back roads for 30 years. I now see every summer huge increases of rural poverty. Such increases have been
phenomenal in the last 10 years. I couldn't have imagined it.

I'm not hopeful. American's anger and fear has been manipulated against their own best interests and they haven't caught on. Diverted and sedated from
economic reality, there seems little hope. There's an old saying I learned as a young man from a farmer. "It's hard to have your head in fantasy land when
you're walking in cow shit." Well, in today's climate, it doesn't seem to hard.

So be it after a few days of being on the road again and experiencing the real Americana and writing about it and pissing off a few who might read this.

PS Oh yes, thank you George W. Bush for the invasions of Muslim countries and allowing hundreds of thousands of Somalian, Iraqui, Afghanistan refugees to repatriate to our country to enjoy the freedom to practise Islam. Why over a 100,000 thousand of them were relocated to Florida alone. Does anyone think they are going to be converted to Christianity and not go on a Mosque building drive? Kinda reminds one of the Vietnam refugee wave doesn't it.
