It’s not getting any better. I started out pissed off at the world. Found some great moments in music (God, I love those YouTube Rockers) that brought tears to my eyes, and now I’m just pissed off at the world again.

Ever notice that?....

Barack Obama: America's Only Hope

Permalink 01:12:28 pm, Categories: The Founding Father's Flying Circus  

With the most unfortunate departure of John Edwards from the Presidential race, we now find our Democratic selves left only with the choices the media picked for us….

Hell, it doesn’t do any good to warn anyone any more. Many genuine Liberals all around the country have been warning the party not to let the media choose the candidates. What do they go and do? Let Fox News decide who our candidates are going to be.
nice work, Dems.

So, in the absence of a candidate that can actually win in November, and in the interests of not giving up the fight, we at TN420 will now reluctantly lend our support to Barack Obama.

At least he’s not a shameless corporate whore, nor does he have known major ties to the Israeli lobby save his relationship with Joe Lieberbitch.
He did drugs and had the courage to be honest about it and on that wise, he may be inclined to put a stop to the drug war as it exists.
Maybe not. Who knows?

Still, A Clinton is simply unacceptable as a nominee. So now that we have only two choices left we’ll stick with the better of the two persons involved, and be making plans to suffer yet another four years of Republican White House failure most likely in the form of John McCain.

All in all, things don’t look real good on the horizon.

John Edwards is Withdrawing

Permalink 12:13:18 pm, Categories: The Founding Father's Flying Circus  

Well, Looks like it’s going to be President McCain after all. John Edwards, siting inability to compete financially, has apparently decided to drop out.
It’s sad to think that an American of this quality, with this kind of heart, will not be our next president.

What do we have left? A good man yet rookie Senator who happens to be black and has a “over there” sounding name…

…and a piece of DLC garbage with Bush-Lite written all over her.

Good luck.

Time Magazine

Edwards leaves the race having made a big impact on the two remaining candidates. His populist rhetoric forced his rivals to compete for union support, and he was the first out of the gate with detailed plans for universal health care and education, putting pressure on the field to match him. The former trial lawyer arguably won a majority of the debates, time and again challenging his opponents to refuse money from lobbyists and speed up their plans for withdrawing combat troops from Iraq.

‘Tis a sad day, and probably an even sadder next four years, for America and her people.

John Edwards: It's About the People, Stupid

Permalink 12:11:49 am, Categories: The Founding Father's Flying Circus  

While Hillary Clinton revels in winning a meaningless, delegate void primary in Florida and Barack Obama enjoys cocktails with the Kennedy’s….

John Edwards is headed to New Orleans. After canceling appearances in Alabama and North Dakota, John Edwards is returning to New Orleans to continue the mission of spotlighting poverty, our most prolific dilemma as a nation, and to remind both the Democratic party and the nation as a whole what this election cycle is really all about.

It’s about the people. Plain ol’ everyday ordinary people.

It’s not about who’s a woman or who’s black. It’s not about making some sort of historical political statement by force-feeding the two most unlikely candidates to the voting public. It’s about who eats and who doesn’t. Who sleeps in security and who doesn’t. Who wears shoes and gets to go to school. It’s about who lives and who dies, in Iraq and right here at home.

While all the vanity, all the egos and all the self-serving arrogance shown to us by the other candidates gets TV coverage like the latest bullshit reality show or a fucking sports event, the only real candidate will be in the still suffering Big Easy doing what makes America great, thinking of others and putting those thoughts into action.

The only reality show worth watching

Who knows, maybe Bill Clinton will take a break from making excuses for his childish behavior long enough to join John Edwards in New Orleans and help build a few houses.
On second thought, don’t hold your breath.

The choice is clear. The rest is up to your eyes.

Sullivan County Early Voting: Bristol

Permalink 01:06:26 pm, Categories: The Founding Father's Flying Circus  

Just a quick report for the public record

The Actual process appeared to be fine with these exceptions.

1) The names of the candidates that have left the race, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich were still on the ballot. That’s highly irresponsible in my opinion as many voters probably aren’t aware of exactly who’s in and who’s out.

2) No signage at the YWCA in Bristol indicating that early Democratic voting was underway. Nothing on either marquee and nothing in the lot. Only one sign, on 81/2 x 11 paper stuck in the tinted window.

That’s district 1 for ya.

I, captainkona, cast my vote for John Edwards.

C’mon, Tennessee Democrats, this is crunch time.
There’s a lot of Feb. 5 states and I hope they all cast smart ballots, but Tennessee is my state and I’m going to judge my own more harshly than the others.

Don’t be stupid, Tennessee Democrats. We have a history of stupid voting. Voting for vermin like Harold Ford Jr., Lincoln Davis, Bart Gordon, Cooper, Tanner….every one of them have voted against the Democratic majority in Congress and supported the Bush Regime consistently.
Hillary Clinton is just like them, part of the Rubber Stamp Brigade and the leader of the “Spineless” Democraps in the Senate along with her buddy, Red Joe Lieberman.

If we want Tennessee to begin to realize it’s full potential as a haven for freedom and individuality, we have to stop voting for Depublicans that are swift to sacrifice common decency and righteousness by worshiping the status quo.
These people are a blight on this state and a disgrace to our representation in Washington.

John Edwards will set things right not only for Tennessee, but for the rest of our nation as well. We must have a Democratic candidate that can win in November. Hillary and Obama simply cannot.

GO VOTE!

Billary Backfires Badly

Permalink 11:18:17 pm, Categories: The Founding Father's Flying Circus  

B)
Not Perfect, South Carolina, but it will do for now….

At least you handled the primary concern, keeping Hillary down and out. On that wise, well done.

I guess that between Bill’s big mouth and Hillary’s arrogance, the South Carolina Dems decided to make a statement. It’s nice to see someone lose that actually deserves to sometimes.

Gotta complement the South Carolina women to be sure. You voted with your brains instead of your (XX)chromosomes and that took strength. I understand the desire of women long oppressed to see a female President. But a John Edwards or a Barack Obama will guard all of your rights and equality perhaps even more closely, and have a much better chance of getting elected in November.

A challenging decision, but you made a good one under the circumstances. ;) Hopefully the voters in the Super Tuesday states will come to their senses and follow your example of courage.
Look at it this way, you’re smarter than a majority of the New Hampster Democrats. :P

Nobody named Bush, nobody named Clinton. It’s a simple equation.

South Carolina: Stand or Fall?

Permalink 03:25:59 pm, Categories: The Founding Father's Flying Circus  

Well, now it’s your turn South Carolina. All the rest of us can do is hope that you’re smarter than New Hampshire.
And we have confidence that you are, we really do…

At least you should be by now. You’ve been provided with a unique experience during this Primary. You’ve been able to view the normally well hidden true face of the Klinton Klan. You never heard it before because they’ve never run against a viable minority candidate before. But now you’ve seen the power-crazed, self serving, policy of personal destruction that has become the trademark of the Mark Penn driven Clinton Campaign.

Recently, the Clinton Smearmonger Machine has attempted to smooth out the wave they’ve created with their hateful rhetoric. Keep in mind that Clinton is following the Lee Atwater methodology. Make the damaging, demeaning comments, then “apologize". Even though the damage is done and the effect remains. The only thing that matters is the false images created in the heads of less informed voters.
Very shrewd indeed.

Personally, I’d love to see you good folks in SC turn genius and vote John Edwards. But the real priority now is preventing a Clinton from being the Democratic nominee. Take care of that monumental task, everything else will fall into place.

Show them, South Carolina. Show them that Americans reject Oligarchy. Show them that we reject the sheer arrogance and Beltway-Insider elitism that is the Bush/Clinton Dynasty.
Show them that we’re not as stupid as they seem to think we are.

Vote Edwards if you will, Obama if you must. But it’s time to reject the old chaff for new blood. It’s time to do what’s right for the people. Time to stand against the NAFTA Crafters that took your jobs.
Remember the Charleston 5!

Vote other than Bush/Clinton.

Best of luck.

Notice that whenever Billary gets confronted by someone about his attacks on fellow Democrats, he gets all fucked up and turns beet red? His face reminds me of a constipated Pat Robertson in the middle of an epic rant about the evils of allowing your kids to be turned gay by watching Sponge Bob reruns…

Anyway, it seems that Hillary has abandoned South Carolina to campaign elsewhere. But before leaving, she left her proxy behind, Billary. Solely for the purpose of Swift-Boating Barack Obama until the primary. A desperate tactic by a desperate campaign.
The Clinton camp can feel it slipping away.
What does this mean? Hillary turning her back on SC?
It could mean that they feel they have SC wrapped up. But if that was the case, why leave the Bill Dog behind?
It could also mean that they know they’ve lost SC and need to jump ahead leaving Billary behind to sling mud just in case.
Either way, it’s a slap in the faces of the Carolina people.

Trouble is, if one Clinton is one too many, what does two Clintons give us? A headache and a divided party.
On one side we have the Bozos that feel that the kind of vicious attacks we see from Pit Bull Bill are ok, and on the other, those of us that are pretty much sick of the Clinton arrogance, not to mention the name. These creeps actually act as though they have some kind of divine right to the throne. I feel they really believe they do.
King Bill and Queen Hillary. Or…is it King Hillary and Queen Bill? I guess it doesn’t matter.|-|

The way Bill snaps, every time, when someone says anything challenging then proceeds to ramble incoherently about how it’s Obama’s fault and yadda, yadda, shows me that the audacity of us peons questioning him is more than he can bear. Remind you of anyone?

Recently in South Carolina, Dick Harpootlian, former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party and Obama supporter, compared Bill’s shameful tactics and surrogate campaigning to Lee Atwater, the now deceased king liar and slanderer of the Republican Party and guru to Karl Rove.

Rough comment? I’ll say, but perfectly accurate. As a matter of fact, Clinton is clearly taking a page from the Atwater Bible with the blatant distortions and responding in red-faced anger when questioned about it. If you’re old enough to remember Atwater, you’ve seen it before. :crazy:

All things considered, the SC race looks very close but we believe/hope that the nasty, scandalous, arrogant manner in which the Clintons are conducting themselves will wear thin with primary voters and push Edwards or Obama higher on the appreciation list where they should be.

Lee Atwater….:))

John Edwards on Letterman

Imagine, a President that doesn’t make a fool of himself every time he opens his or her mouth…

Just in case you missed it.

Permalink 04:34:35 pm, Categories: Right-Winger Wringer  

Liberals have been saying it from day one. Righty has been denying it for just as long. Now we receive further, independent verification of what should be common knowledge to all Americans.
George W. Bush, his entire cabinet, all of his supporters, the PNAC/AIPAC traitors, and most of the Main Stream Media have lied hundreds of thousands of innocent people, including our troops, to their deaths…

When you vote this season, keep in mind the Neo-con, their agenda, and all those both Republican and Democrat that enabled this epic tragedy of a government and the crimes they’ve committed against America and the world at large…

The Center for Public Integrity, an independent organization which is free of partisan funding, has compiled an impressive database of each and every lie, both blatant and subtle, told by the Bush Regime in the effort to blame Iraq for the 9/11 attacks on New York.

All guilty. Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Chertoff, Rove, the Zionist traitors of the PNAC/AIPAC/DLC….all liars. And in this case, lying is a crime. It’s a crime because innocent people died as a direct result. It’s a crime because our soldiers, our finest citizens, had their precious lives squandered. All for the paranoia of Israel and the incalculable greed of evil men.

From CNN:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups.

“In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003,” reads an overview of the examination, conducted by the Center for Public Integrity and its affiliated group, the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

Lying and bearing false witness is the Neo-Con Method of Operation. It began with the Zionist infested PNAC (Reference)
and the original push to attack Saddam in the Ninties. From there we have all kinds of treason, vote fraud, and fabricated evidence that was offered to the American people and Congress to justify a war where our soldiers were used to fight a battle Israel was afraid to fight for themselves.

From Colon Powell’s “Aluminum Tubes” lie to Condi’s “Mushroom cloud” lie to Dick (the Traitor) Cheney’s infamous lie to our military personnel…

The quotes in the study include an August 26, 2002, statement by Cheney to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
“Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction,” Cheney said. “There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.”

The PNAC end of the deal is the Israel connection to the entire plot. At the risk of sounding anti- semitic, the following members of the PNAC are all Zionist Jews. Which are not to be confused with Orthodox Jews or any other Jews.
Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, William Kristol, Scooter Libby, Norman Podhoretz, the list goes on and on. And there is, of course, Douglas Feith. The man that General Tommy Franks referred to as “the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth". Feith, then Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, was not as stupid as Franks assumed. Feith had a major hand in fabricating the intelligence documents that were used to make the case for war.
Feith, and all those mentioned above, are Americans who are loyal to Israel first and America probably not at all. Traitors to be sure.

From the Database:

Beginning apparently in late November 2001, a team in the office of Defense Undersecretary Douglas Feith, working independently of the formal intelligence community, reviewed intelligence data related to Al Qaeda. In August and September 2002, this team provided three separate briefings to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet, and finally to high-level White House officials. The briefings, titled “Assessing the Relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda,” included the assessment that “Intelligence indicates cooperation [with Al Qaeda] in all categories: mature, symbiotic relationship.”

It’s these same Zionist Pigs (Podhoretz, Kristol) that are now pushing for war with Iran. A war based on more lies and in which they intend for American kids to die in place of Israeli soldiers. All of Israel combined is not worth even one American life.

Now, after all the Treason, Lies, and Greed, we have nothing but carnage to show. A half million Iraqis dead or displaced to Syira, nearly 4000 American Military Personnel dead (as far as we know), tens of thousands wounded and scarred for life, and a polarized, crumbling nation, steeped in debt and recession bound, that the next President will be left with the task of rebuilding.

And of course, let’s not forget the media. The main stream media in America and around the world are just as guilty as the traitors mentioned above. Guilty of ignoring the facts and catapulting the propaganda, guilty of exchanging the best interests of America for ratings and for personal gain.
Rupert Murdoch of FOX News, the Wall Street Journal, and MySpace. Walt Disney Inc which owns ABC. The leadership at CNN, CBS and NBC.
All have failed in their journalistic integrity. All failed to report the truth and instead, intentionally gave priority to lies and propaganda in place of genuine journalism and the public good.

Keep these facts in mind while voting, Americans.
Your vote is a direct reflection of your character and the love, or lack thereof, that you have for your people and your country.

View these faces and names. These are just a few of the Liars, Traitors, and Murderers that have betrayed America, her people, and everything we’re supposed to stand for. All for a few corporate contracts and an undeserving, cowardly Israel.

May God damn these Pigs to Hell where they all belong….

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sounded like two alley cats trying to claw each other’s eyes out over a three day old chicken bone. Meanwhile, John Edwards was trying to talk about things like children’s health care, helping the poor and other things Hillary and Barack seem to be placing behind their personal angst in priority.

John Edwards barely got a word in edge wise as that piece of shit pygmy furball, Wolf Blitzer, and his fellow CNN stooges continued to push Clinton and Obama’s buttons. And boy, did it pay off. Fucking LOL!

Martin Luther King: The Essence of Change

Permalink 11:33:31 pm, Categories: Right-Winger Wringer  

Social activist, man of great courage, servant of Jesus and perhaps Prophet. His message lives on for all mankind to hear. It echoes in the lives of each and every one of us that calls America home. It’s in the hearts of those who long for justice and in the winds of change that constantly blow around us, making us better, making us see.
It’s not about race, it’s about truth. It’s about Jesus and the way He taught us to love, equally, all of our fellow man be they friend or foe. And to do this in a way consistent with the love and understanding we would expect for ourselves.
Not to embrace evil, but to see it in it’s true form and to pity those who do embrace it and ask for their enlightenment.

There are those who will dismiss and attempt to minimize his efforts and his contributions, but Dr. King was, is, and always will be the greatest champion of Civil Rights in American history.

Happy Birthday, Dr. King.

Hypocrisy has always been a staple among Clinton supporters. For all the Sudo-Democrat whining about what a lying dirtbag Bush has been over the last seven years, the outrage seems to dissipate rapidly when it comes to the lies and crimes of the Clinton Cabal.

What’s really sad is that I’m just now beginning to rationalize what’s really going on. And it’s both disgusting and depressing to say the least….

Everybody screams “Sexism” whenever Hillary is the target of a legitimate beef. She supported the War from jump…SEXISM!!! She supported the Patriot Act from jump…SEXISM!!!! She supports the Real ID program….SEXISM!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

All of that is 100% true. But where does truth stand in the face of Clinton Groupieism and Royal Family mentality? A “distant third“.

You want to know what’s “Sexist"? Sacrificing the progressive movement in the Democratic Party and the future of our nation for a President with a set of tits. That’s what’s “Sexist".

For a woman to turn her back on helping our nation reach it’s fullest potential just to sate the desire of living out a fairy tale about a woman president is probably the most “Sexist", not to mention selfish, thing that’s reared it’s ugly head in this election.
Just to entertain the illusion of removing all the swinging dicks in the government.
Chris Matthews, the he-man woman hater that he is has nothing on a Female Hillary Supporter. Sad.

I have a new word for everyone, Misandry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misandry

The hatred or fear of men.

I had been wondering what it was that has so severely clouded the judgment of Democratic women as we enter the election cycle. Now I know.
Many Democratic women it seems are turning their backs on change, and reality, for reasons as petty as saying a hardy Fuck You to men in general. Their hearts are not filled with the righteous indignation that is the glue that has bound the Democratic Left together for the last seven years, they’re hearts are not filled with the desire to end the war and bring our people home, they’re hearts are not filled with the compassion for the poor and the abused of our society. They’re filled with the hatred of men.

Since we began the election cycle, only Iowa Democrats have proved to have their hearts in the fight for a better America. New Hampshire, particularly the Democratic women there, failed. Nevada, failed.
Failed to be informed voters and/or failed to face the truth about the Clinton Cabal intentionally. They failed, in their self pity, to choose the best candidate for the job and a candidate that can actually win in November.

Either way, these caucuses have failed to ignore the media push to force a candidate on us. They have bought the big lie yet again. All for their ignorance or the hatred of men.

These people have ignored the close ties between the Bush and Clinton families. They have turned a blind eye to the plight of the poor and needy of America. They have virtually stated that corporate influence in government (aka Fascism) is acceptable.
They have stated that having a pervert wandering around the White House (Bill) is fine with them, just as long as there’s a vagina in the solid oak desk chair.
Clinton supporters (mostly women) have stated emphatically that the DLC and it’s ties to the PNAC/AIPAC Zionist lobby, and people like Will Marshall who started the war in Iraq, are okay with them. Just as long as there’s a President with a dress on.

As a result, the Democratic party finds itself once again on the eve of destruction. Poised to squander a golden opportunity to take the country down a new path to freedom with a new outlook on the future.

The Republican Party couldn’t have asked for more.

Wake up, Democratic women. Your Misandric ways will not only harm the male species, but you’ll be screwing yourselves too.
Hillary will not end the war. She will not help the poor, or the middle class. She will not lead us to a brighter future. She will be the Bush Third Term by winning and the Bush Third Term by losing, and you’ll have no one to blame but yourselves.

Sorry for the quickie, but this is very significant and soundly supports our stark criticism of the Clinton campaign. So if you were naive enough to wonder why we're blogging against her, this is what we've been warning you about. They're dirty. The whole fucking lot of these Clintonista DLC filth. Dirty as mangy dogs....

From The Nation

Briefly, back in March, the Nevada Democratic Party agreed to set up caucus locations on the Vegas strip for low-income shift workers, many of them members of the Nevada Culinary Union who commute long distances to work and wouldn't be able to get home in time to caucus. It was a well received idea until the Culinary Union endorsed Barack Obama and the Nevada State Education Association, whose top officials support Clinton, sued to shut down the caucus sites. The Clinton camp played dumb until yesterday, when Bill Clinton came out in favor of the lawsuit. More at Link

Peas in a pod

So, this is Democratic? We, as a party, railed against Republican attempts to disenfranchise voters of lower incomes from solidly Democratic districts. Now, the Clinton Camp seeks to do the same thing to Obama supporters?
Bill Clinton, through the Drug War, managed to disenfranchise over half a million voters by hanging felonies on people that committed victimless crimes. Why wouldn't they try something similar again? It worked, and we lost in 2000 and 2004.

Like we've been saying, there's no difference between Bush and Clinton, and the sooner the Democratic voters wise up to that fact the better off we'll all be.

UPDATE:

Judge allows casino caucuses to proceed.

In a blow to the Clinton campaign effort to disenfranchise Nevada voters that support Obama, a Federal Judge has ruled that the Casino Caucuses can be implemented. A ruling that greatly benefits Barack Obama and his supporters.

Hillary Clinton: The Policy of Personal Destruction

Permalink 09:13:00 pm, Categories: Right-Winger Wringer  

Hillary Clinton knows how to play politics. That's who she is and nothing more. She knows how to play the "if you're in the dirt and can't get out, drag your opponent down on top of you and get him dirty too" game....

We saw it recently as Hillary chose the most sensitive nerve Barack Obama has to swing on. His half-blackness.
Not only that, but she actually resorted to employing a surrogate black guy to deliver the intentional slight.
Some clown from BET (Black Entertainment Television) named Robert L. Johnson was apparently put to the task of using truth that Obama told about his past drug use as a pretext for a swift-boat attempt.
Johnson, a prominent Clinton ally and apparent Uncle Tom attempted to revive the issue of Obama's admitted past drug use....

Introducing Clinton at an event in Columbia, Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, said both Clintons "have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood -- and I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in his book."

Also, very recently, Hillary herself slipped and was caught attempting to minimize the efforts of Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement and bestow credit for civil rights advances to Lyndon Johnson. The comment was put forth in such a way as to suggest the politicians are more important than the activists when it comes to advancing liberty.
Indeed, a truly shameful moment. But we predicted that after Iowa put Hillary in her place, "She will continue to say and do the wrong things and more dirt will flow out about her, Bill and their staff".
Sure, Clinton has been involved in advancing civil liberties, but that's to be expected when one's career requires getting "the black vote" from time to time.

Presidential Candidate John Edwards, very astutely, had this to say about the Clinton remarks...

"As someone who grew up in the segregated South, I feel an enormous amount of pride when I see the success that Sen. Barack Obama is having in this campaign," Edwards said during an appearance at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Sumter, S.C.

Edwards continued: "I must say I was troubled recently to see a suggestion that real change came not through the Rev. Martin Luther King, but through a Washington politician. I fundamentally disagree with that. Those who believe that real change starts with Washington politicians have been in Washington too long -- and are living in a fairy tale."

Continue to say and do the wrong things they surely have. Hillary, Bill, Mark "Blackwater" Penn....stooping to the lowest of lows in desperation. But then again, perhaps it's always been this way with the Clintons and we're just now seeing the hidden racism, elitism, and sheer, self-absorbed arrogance that is the Clinton trade mark.

The following link is interesting if not educational.
Sonic.net, a website of average origin, has compiled a lot of evidence (most of it circumstantial), concerning past anti-semitic and racist statements made by both Clinton's and even dramatic insults made toward each other that make us here at Ablogination look mild by comparison....

From the site....sonic.net

Reinhold Aman, "Ph.D." -

Millions of Americans still admire Bill and Hillary Clinton, whose habitual lies, gutter language, anti-Semitic outbursts, and anti-black slurs have been documented by reliable writers but which have been -- and still are -- routinely suppressed by the so-called liberal media. This article serves to counter and expose that shameless misleading of the public about the true character of America's two supreme actors and how they talk in private.

Lest you think I am a Republican, conservative, or member of the imaginary "vast right-wing conspiracy": I am an apolitical anti-politician. Because I despise blatantly lying politicians with all my heart, I am presenting this uncensored record of some of the filthy language and lies by the amoral Clintons -- the ex-President and the aspiring first female President.

The following five quotations are from Alec Flegon's Dictionary of English Sex Quotations (London: Flegon Press, 1996):

* L.D. Brown, a member of Clinton's former security staff and bodyguard in Arkansas, stated that Hillary is "as foul-mouthed as any sailor you'd ever meet." (p. 147)
* As reported by Bill's security staff, Hillary frequently erupted in expletive-filled tirades against him. "I can't believe you would ask a fucking question like that!" Or, about his shaky driving, "You're gonna get us fucking killed!" (p. 147)
* She shouted at Bill over his unfaithfulness: "I need to be fucked more than twice a year!" (p. 170)
* Hillary to Larry Patterson, an Arkansas state trooper and Clinton bodyguard from 1986 to 1993, who was bringing a judge's wife to the Little Rock airport: "What the fuck do you think you're doing? I know who that whore is." (p. 171)
* Coming out of the Arkansas governor's mansion early morning on Labor Day 1991, Hillary screamed: "Where is the goddamn fucking flag? I want the goddamn fucking flag up every fucking morning at fucking sunrise!"

Now most of the sources quoted by "Dr" Aman are somewhere between Low and No on the credibility scale for the most part. But when you read the foul things Hillary and Bill have allegedly said to their subordinates and each other, then read and hear the subtle racist remarks and race oriented manipulation that is emanating from the Clinton camp today, one can't help but think that the pieces of the puzzle are beginning to find place.
We've seen Hillary the emotional roller coaster both come nearly to tears and snap in anger as she did at the New Hampshire debate. It kinda goes with the MO.

Personal destruction is not just the Clinton politics. It's their policy.

Bill Clinton has cheated blacks during campaigns before. Playing the sax and having a great time on MTV, talking about how much he feels blacks deserve a fair shake, then jailing more blacks for non violent, drug related crime than any president before him. Some 87% of Drug War victims under Clinton's watch were black.

The Clinton's history, coupled with present efforts to "leak" remarks then claim they "don't advocate" what was said paints a very grim picture of the true character, or lack thereof, of the most polarizing presidential candidate in the race.

And polarizing she is. Do we need more of that, America? After fifteen years of the most polarizing politics imaginable, the last seven being the most exhausting, do we really need four to eight more years of political agitation when we don't have to have it?

Tell me, with Bill wondering around the White House all by his lonesome, how long will it take for female employees to begin telling the stories of his advances and horn-dog activity? It's a situation guaranteed to rise quickly and not fade away.

All in all, it takes no more than a clear head and a little conventional wisdom to see that another Clinton Administration would do nothing but continue to tear this nation apart and leave us going nowhere but down.
We have to stop electing these self-serving insiders and give our nation the new blood it thirsts for so.

A Clinton candidacy will be the swan song of the Democratic Progressive movement. Her ability to divide the party can only prove beneficial to the Republican's hopes of keeping the White House.

A very dark could looms ominously over the Democratic aspirations for total control. Cloud, thy name is Clinton.

This is going to be one ugly rant. Leave now if you have a weak constitution or especially if you're one of those Pig-Fucks that supports the Real ID Act...

The Department of Homeland (seig hile!) Security is a disgrace, but we knew that already, didn't we? We watched in horror as DHS caused the confusion and failure during the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans in which many American citizens were left to rot and die.
We were appalled and disgusted when we learned that
Brian J. Doyle, former DHS Press Secretary, was arrested in April of '06 for being a predatory pedophile.

The uselessness of this pervert and bureaucrat pencil-pusher infested agency is absolutely astonishing. And even more so, the fact that it still exists defies all reason and logic.
Which lead me to ponder this morn... after Dumbsfeld, Gonzales, Bolton, and so many other Nazi Pigs have been routed from our government by the Democratic Leadership, why is Michael Chertoff still around?

Today, the Seattle Times Reports that Michael (Himmler) Chertoff, the head of the Department of Nazi Paranoia, has decided to try to push ahead with the Real ID Program.

Well, Mr. Chertoff, you can go fuck yourself you fucking Nazi punk.

Like all Nazis and other Fascist fuck-bags, you are a coward. A yellow-bellied piece of Neocon shit that is still committing treason against the American people. You have accomplished nothing. Nothing. Other than to abuse the American people and further the destruction of the US Constitution.
You, sir, need to crawl back into the jackal-crack you plopped out of and die there. You are a walking, talking, advertisement for the benefits of abortion.

You, Chertoff, were one of the original traitors who assaulted the fundamental rights of the American people by co-authoring, along with your fellow traitor Viet Dinh, the "Patriot" Act. The very act that squashed our rights effectively handing Al Qaida a moral victory over us. Instead of standing up for our rights in the face of an enemy that sought to destroy them, you performed the will of the enemy and assisted them in their attack on freedom.
You sorry, pathetic, fascist, collaborating with the enemy piece of fucking shit.

A national disgrace

Chertoff and his Brownshirts are pushing the Real ID harder than ever. Why? For the want of remaining valid in existence, and the desire to force all Americans to have their "papers" handy in the tradition of Adolph Hitler. That's why.

Not only is Chertoff a professional failure, but he's still a Fascist at heart. The program works well to cover both aspects of his existence.

From the Seattle Times...

New type of driver's license faces stiff opposition

By DEVLIN BARRETT

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans born after Dec. 1, 1964, will have to get more secure driver's licenses in the next six years under post-Sept. 11 security rules to be unveiled today by federal officials.

The Homeland Security Department (DHS) has spent years crafting the final regulations for the Real ID Act, designed to make it harder for terrorists, illegal immigrants and con artists to get government-issued identification. The effort once envisioned to take effect in 2008 has been delayed in the hopes of winning over skeptical state officials.

Even with more time, more federal help and technical advances, Real ID faces stiff opposition from civil-liberties groups.

To address some of those concerns, the government plans to phase in a secure ID initiative that Congress passed into law in 2005. Now, DHS plans a key deadline in 2011 and further measures to be enacted three years later, according to congressional employees who spoke on condition of anonymity. DHS officials briefed legislative aides on the details late Thursday.

To make the plan more appealing to cost-conscious states, federal authorities drastically reduced the expected cost from $14.6 billion to $3.9 billion, said Homeland Security officials familiar with the plan.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has objected to the plan. In its written objection, the ACLU claims Real ID amounts to the "first-ever national identity card system," which "would irreparably damage the fabric of American life."

The Sept. 11 attacks were the main motivation for the changes. The hijacker-pilot who flew into the Pentagon, Hani Hanjour, had a total of four driver's licenses and ID cards from three states.

By 2014, anyone seeking to board an airplane or enter a federal building would have to present a Real ID-compliant driver's license, with the notable exception of those older than 50, Homeland Security officials said.

Officials said the risk of someone in that age group being a terrorist, illegal immigrant or con artist is much less. By 2017, even older people will have to have a Real ID-compliant card to board a plane.

Want to know how the RealID Act will effect you?
READ IT

Well, apparently Chertoff is unaware that real Americans
don't suffer from the same type of cowardice-induced paranoia that he does. The Real ID will seemingly only be applied to Americans born after December of 1964. Pure age discrimination simply because this is the standard age group of "terrorists". Problem is, "terrorists" don't need IDs to cross the wide open and under watched Mexican border. They don't need IDs to detonate bombs. They don't need ID's to kill.
The Real IDs are for American citizens, not foreign terrorists. They're not issuing them in Pakistan, they're issuing them here. To us.
Americans must now prove that we are not "terrorists".

You're of no more value to America than the average wharf rat, Chertoff. Fuck you, fuck your family, fuck your entire lineage. You are a traitor and you belong in prison with the rest of your kind.
Get out of our government, out of our lives, and hopefully one day soon, out of our existence.

Just figured we'd do a Clinton Recap since some people just don't seem to get it....

A TN420 OP-ED FOR THE INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED AND WILLFULLY IGNORANT:

Important Definitions:
a) Neocon

b) Enabler

c) Two Faced

It all began with vote fraud in 2000 and the establishment of the Neocon Regime. Since then, America has been plunged into every imaginable kind of turmoil. Lied into war, spent into recession, our people ignored and ridiculed in time of dire need.

In the midst of this national tragedy we know as George Bush, it has come to light that many of those elected leaders that were expected to staunchly oppose the Nazification of America failed not only to have the courage to do so, but in fact, did all they could do to aid and abet the crimes the regime has committed. We call them, Blue Dog Democrats aka DLC members.

Amongst the most prominent of these Neocon Enablers, such as Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson, are the Clinton's. Senator Hillary and her husband, former president Bill.

These two fake Democrats have at no time during the Neocon rise to power opposed any of the injustices and atrocities committed along the way. In fact, Bill, who has never once spoken out in a meaningful way against any Neocon policy including the war, is best buddies with the Elder Bush and Hillary, who's now running for the democratic nomination, has consistently voted to further the illegal war on Iraq (funding), further the depletion of our rights to privacy (Patriot Act), further the possibility of war with Iran (labeling them terrorists to appease Bush and her defense industry donors), and now she claims to be the candidate for "change"? The change in her deep, corporate pockets maybe.

You've heard of "BushBots"?

The following links are from previous posts here at Ablogination and contain all the facts that any genuine Democrat needs to see through the Clinton disguise.
Her ties to dirty money, to the Bush Crime family, to the Israeli Zionist Pig Lobby (AIPAC), and the DLC/PNAC institutions of treason.

A vote for a Clinton is a Vote for a Bush and the status quo that's killing this nation.

Clinton/Bush Dynasty

Democrats with Blinders

Double Talkin' Jive

Hillary's Blackwater Skeleton

Hillary DLC/PNAC

If none of the above bothers you enough to vote for change, perhaps you're in the wrong political party. Or maybe, you just need to take your blinders off.

Shoulda known we couldn't count on the Hampsters to get it right. That's the Ivy League for ya, fall for an embellished moment of Clinton self pity.

Sad, but fools will be fools. New Hampster Democrats just voted for a Bush third term. Nice work, folks. Thank God none of you work for my local EMS, the whole town would be DOA much like your concept of political reality.

On to South Carolina! Maybe we'll find some Democrats that actually care about the future of this nation.

PS...This is written with the fact that many good Dems voted other-than-Hillary, firmly in mind. Thanx to the real Democrats in New Hampshire and all the effort you made to do the right thing. It's not your fault that your neighbor is an idiot.

Thanx a lot, New Hampster Dems. DUH!

Now it's Your Turn, New Hampshire Democrats

Permalink 02:32:35 pm, Categories: Right-Winger Wringer  

I've always loved ya. Never been there other than passing through on the road, but I sure had lots of fun calling you New Hampster when I was little. I would have stopped when traveling but by the time I finished reading your welcome sign I was in Vermont.

You guys should actually invade Maine, you might be big enough to build a sports stadium then. Just think, you could have a baseball team and not have to worry about violating Vermont's air space when someone hits a home run....

But I do love ya. :) At least for the moment.

Tomorrow you make the first real decision in this election season. Time to show the rest of us just how much you care about this country, your people, and our future. It's time to show how much you care about truth, reality, and change.
The good Democrats of Iowa, though just a caucus vote, proved that they're smart enough to reject the corporate media hype and push Hillary Clinton and her Republican-friendly, groupie supporters to the back of the bus. That was a damn good move in the right direction. Now, how 'bout you?

Are you smart enough to see through the veil of the corporate media hype machine that's been force-feeding us Hillary and Obama ever since the race began?
Are you smart enough to ignore the "polls" for the misleading crap they really are?

Let me give you an example:
Many polls that have been offered and quoted have some crap about Obama leading and Hillary second. But one has to consider the validity of these "Polls" and the influence they can have.

Now, here we have a Poll or two that you probably haven't been shown.
Here is an older poll from CNN that happened before FOX, ABC etc. started trumpeting Hillary and Obama...
Clinton slips, Edwards leads Obama in CNN polls

Now, if Zogby, a right wing shill, can have a Poll and get it plastered all over the corporate media, why can't Scott Rasmussen?
John Edwards Up 9% (to 23%) Nationally Since 12/29.
Now if you want a "Poll" to cling to, this would be a more important one.

Not only that, but this bit of "Polling" news is getting passed up by and large and there isn't a more important one that I can think of (if you care about polls at all).
JOHN EDWARDS LEADS ALL GOP CANDIDATES IN OHIO.

That's Ohio, people. Maybe the most important state in the nation when it comes to being president (all vote fraud aside that is).

Still, you're already doing well, New Hampster. The crowds at the Bill Clinton Beg-For-Votes rallies are getting smaller and smaller.
In New Hampshire, Bill Clinton Finds Less Spark.

He entered to polite applause and rows of empty seats at the University of New Hampshire on Friday. Several people filed out midspeech, and the room was largely quiet as he spoke, with few interruptions for laughter or applause. He talked about his administration, his foundation work and some about his wife.

LOL, it's about time someone began to see through the power-hungry, Bush-lovin' bullshit that Billary has been spewing since his wifey decided to run. I congratulate you New Hampsters for taking off the blinders and taking a long look at the reality of the status quo. Now, don't let us down tomorrow. As we counted on Iowa to get the progressive ball rolling, and they came through like gangbusters, now we, as a political party and a nation turn to you to take the torch from Iowa and carry it to decisive victory for progress, genuine change, and an end to the Bush/Clinton campaign.
They are campaigning together after all...
Bill Clinton: George H.W. Bush will help President Hillary

So stand strong, New Hampshire Democrats. Stand up for a new America, a renewed vitality, and an opportunity to heal this fractured nation. The future of the Democratic party, the progressive movement, and in fact the very concept of Democracy is now in your hands.

You have the point, watch your step.

Ya Done Good, Iowa

Permalink 05:38:35 pm, Categories: Right-Winger Wringer  

I guess we'll have to take back some of the snidely things we said about you recently, but surely you understand that the only intention was to prod you to be your best.... :)

Of course, I don't know what you were thinking by turning out so heavily for Obama but it hardly matters at this point. Just keep in mind that Barack Obama has no chance whatsoever of winning a general election against a Mike Suckabee or John McCain. And even if he did, as nuts as some are in this country, electing him may well be a death sentence. The Right is capable of it and insane enough to do it.

But we congratulate Barack Obama for his efforts and admit that we could do much worse for a candidate. Which brings us to Hillary Clinton.

You did a grand thing, Iowa Democrats. You killed the myth of Billary Clinton as the "inevitable nominee". You defeated the corporate media hype machine that has been force-feeding us Billary Clinton ever since she announced her candidacy. You have done a great service to your nation. You have started the journey of freeing America from the Bush/Clinton monarchy. They are exactly the same kind of power hungry, corporate whores and all any of them ever did was humiliate the nation and lower the bar of common decency in government.
Placing third was a great, big, open-handed Jap-slap in the face of Bill and Hillary Clinton. We at TN420 salute you for it.

No one named Clinton, no one named Bush. Surely we've learned our lesson by now.

Barack Obama places first, Billary places last. Now, where does that leave John Edwards? On top of the fucking world.

No one made out better than Edwards in the Iowa Caucus. With Obama being little more than a novelty who's appeal will diminish eventually, Edwards shines like a new pair of Italian loafers.
Having not a fraction of the money that other candidates have, and having received virtually no media coverage, John Edwards places second between the two most hyped players in the game. That's the political equivalent of a Grand Slam as far as the Edwards camp is concerned.
And this nation is that much closer to being healed as a result.

Now, with New Hampshire being mostly about the northern views, Clinton may place better there depending on how stupid or smart the Dems in New Hampshire are. Obama should do at least well there and hopefully the New Hampshire yankees can put their South-Hating down long enough to think of their country first and push Edwards to the very top. This remains to be seen.

So congratulations to John Edwards. With any luck and dedication at all, he should be the next President of the United States.

Finally, having just read that Chris Dodd has dropped out of the race, we wish to thank Mr. Dodd and wish him well as one of our most courageous Senators. His service is greatly appreciated.

Joe Biden just dropped out too but that DLC Pig can go fuck himself.

Once again, good job, Iowa Democrats and Progressives. Thank you for being solid Americans.
