Political Cream via G+

Occupy Wall Street information and links from Google+ (henceforth G+).

Here's what I've learned or seen about Occupy Wall Street and what has been happening. I wish I could easily grab all of the links to the videos I've seen in other streams on G+. I am working on a way to do this through Delicious possibly.

I learned what Kettling is. An ugly way to make people into cattle.

There's a semi-live stream up at www.livestream.com/globalrevolution and here's Alan Grayson summarizing what's up in just about a minute:

We are All the 99%

If you are reading this then you are part of the 99% too.

I came across We Are the 99% a couple of weeks ago, just as the OccupyWallSt crowd was beginning to plan and mass.

It is all too easy to glaze over when you hear statistics about joblessness, foreclosures and a general downward spiral across the nation. It is another thing altogether to look into the faces of these people who are barely hanging on or have lost their grip altogether and have been cast adrift.

These are Americans being shoved downward by the Republicans and the corporations who have bought and paid for them.

Let's be clear, America is no longer being ruled by the People, America is under the control of Big Corporations. They have bought our democracy and are gang banging it out behind the shed. But even the most willing victim eventually realizes that this isn't sex, this is rape, this is not wanted, this is not what America signed on for. This is not what America is and should be.

America is being taken away from the people, the middle class is being smashed down into the lower class and the upper class has tripled their holdings in the last 25 years. The top 1% controls more than 50% of the wealth in America. The bottom 50% has less than .5% of stocks on the market. The numbers go on and on and on.

The reality is that America is not theirs to take and do with what they want.

Family Values Indeed

Anti-Gay Indiana State Rep Caught Exchanging Money For Gay Sex: "

Indiana state Rep. Phillip Hinkle (R) is in the media spotlight today under allegations he offered a young man money for sex Saturday night. Joe Jervis notes that Hinkle, who is married to a woman and has children, voted in favor of the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and civil unions in Indiana, which will require a second vote by the legislature to pass next year. Hinkle also prides himself on supporting a bill that required Indiana to offer “In God We Trust” license plates. Bil Browning adds that there are likely some other anti-gay Indiana legislators whose stories have not yet come to light.

"
I guess family values means he'd really value your NOT telling his family that he's banging dudes on the side. Maybe don't tell his party either though most of them are also publicly anti-gay sex while banging dudes after hours.

Republican, its just another word for hypocritical douchebag.

George Allen, Racist and Oil Industry Puppet

After Losing Senate Seat, Oil Industry Funded George Allen’s Political Profile For Years: "

When George Allen served in Congress, he was a favorite of the oil industry. He was one of the largest recipients of oil industry campaign contributions, and a lead sponsor of efforts to expand offshore oil drilling, including off the east coast. He was even feted by oil billionaire Charles Koch at the 2005 secret planning meeting Koch Industries organizes to coordinate conservative and corporate influence.

Allen left the Senate after losing his reelection bid in 2006, started a lobbying business called “George Allen Strategies,” and joined the board of several companies, including an energy company called the Hillsdale Group. But Allen’s relationship with the oil industry didn’t end there. Given that Allen announced yesterday that he intends to run for Senate again in 2012, it’s worth taking note that of the role that oil and polluter industry fronts have had in propping up Allen:

– In 2009, Allen partnered with the “oil-industry-funded Institute for Energy Research” to found the American Energy Freedom Center, a group dedicated to attacking clean energy reforms. Although Allen’s American Energy Freedom Center does not disclose its donors, the Institute for Energy Research is funded largely with donations from ExxonMobil and Koch Industries. Tom Pyle, Institute for Energy Research President, is a former Koch Industries lobbyist, and the group is made up of former GOP Energy Committee staffers and industry representatives. Allen’s American Energy Freedom Center is registered to the same address as his lobbying firm at 717 Princess Street in Alexandria.

– Allen has given speeches and declared his support for a number of fossil fuel-funded front groups. In 2008, he became a signatory to an energy-related effort organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is funded by ExxonMobil, foreign oil companies, and Massey Energy. In 2010, he spoke at a global warming denier conference hosted by the Heartland Institute, another front funded by polluters.

– Allen has maintained a political profile by touring Virginia with Americans for Prosperity, a group founded and funded by Koch Industries. In October 2009, Allen did a ten city anti-health reform bus tour with Americans for Prosperity in Virginia. During the midterm election, Allen joined Americans for Prosperity’s “November is Coming” election bus tour promoting Republican candidates. Throughout 2009 and 2010, Allen spoke at Americans for Prosperity-organized Tea Party rallies — often spending much of his time talking about climate science and oil drilling. And throughout this month, Allen toured with Americans for Prosperity to build buzz around his new bid for Senate. Americans for Prosperity’s Virginia director, Ben Marchi, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX), is expected to join the Allen for Senate campaign.

Explaining his lust for offshore drilling, Allen has said, “Americans are not addicted to oil. Americans are addicted to freedom.” While members of the Tea Party movement may debate Allen’s views on freedom, there is no question that Allen is addicted to oil.

"
Any citizen dumb enough to give this bought and paid for oil industry puppet their vote should have their right to vote taken away. George Allen has no interest in making America better for Americans, his sole interest is in appeasing his oil industry masters (and being a douchebag racist).

Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid | | AlterNet

Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid | | AlterNet:

Congratulations, Fox News, you have succeeded in stupiding down your audience to the point that they just swallow your appalling lies as gospel truth. You have intentionally dumbed down America for your own (and the Republican Party's) ends.

Fox News Viewers came in first in 8 of 9 questions. They should be so proud as they scoot around on their Rascals.
# 91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
# 72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
# 72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
# 60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
# 49 percent believe income taxes have gone up
# 63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
# 56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
# 38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
# 63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)

"The fact that Fox News is so blatantly dishonest, and the effects of that dishonesty have become ingrained in an electorate that has been been purposefully deceived, needs to be made known to every American. Our democracy cannot function if voters are making choices based on lies."

Fox News represents a clear and present danger to the health of the country. They are intentionally working to spread misinformation to keep the country divided and allow the Republicans to stay relevant despite their dogged insistence on getting more money for the richest people in the country, their desire to screw over the poor at nearly every turn and their hatred of having an intelligent, articulate and reasonable black man as the President of the United States of America.

If you watch Fox News and vote then you are part of the problem, you are being used as a pawn by these lying asshats and you are making America weaker by subscribing to haters, liars and jackholes.

Jobless Benefits = Bad, More Money for Rich People = Good

Mark Kirk: Extending Jobless Benefits Is ‘Misguided,’ But Bush Tax Cuts Must Be Extended ‘No Matter What’: "

Unless Congress acts by tomorrow, 2.5 million Americans will lose their extended unemployment benefits, even though unemployment is still above nine percent and there are currently five unemployed workers for every job opening. In the last forty years, the U.S. has never allowed jobless benefits to expire with unemployment so high.

At the same time, Congress is also faced with the December 31st expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Today, in two separate interviews, Sen.-elect Mark Kirk (R-IL) tried to bolster his fiscal conservative credentials by saying that extending unemployment insurance without finding spending cuts to offset the extension would be “misguided” because of its effect on the deficit. However, Kirk also called for extending all of the Bush tax cuts, “no matter what” the effect on the nation’s budget:

KIRK: We should extend the Bush tax cuts and make sure we don’t have a double-dip recession. And I have the honor to be the first of ninety-five new Republicans, fiscal conservatives, to help right our ship of state. [...]

Q: The first thing you’re talking about is deficit reduction and spending. Does that mean that right now, as of today, you’d be against extending the unemployment insurance?

KIRK: That’s right. You could extend it if you found a way to pay for it. And I voted for that in the past. But these proposals to extend unemployment insurance by just adding it to the deficit are misguided.

Watch it:

Kirk actually claimed that extending benefits — which costs $60 billion for one year, or $12.5 billion for a three-month extension — would lead to a Irish-style debt crisis, while glossing over the $4 trillion cost of extending the Bush tax cuts for a decade ($830 billion of which goes to only the richest two percent of Americans). Even MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough saw through Kirk’s double-talk, asking, “if [the tax cuts] are not paid for though, do we not risk going the way, as you said, of Greece and Ireland?”

As the New York Times editorial board wrote, “opponents would have you believe that the nation cannot afford to keep paying unemployment benefits: a yearlong extension would cost about $60 billion. The truth is, we cannot afford not to…Without jobs, there is inadequate spending, and that means ever fewer jobs. A wide range of private and government studies show that unemployment benefits combat that vicious cycle by ensuring that families can buy the basics.” Of course, as The Wonk Room explained, Kirk is no stranger to fraudulent fiscal conservative rhetoric.

"
Okay, I get it, Mark Kirk is another asshat Republican who promised to move heaven and earth to secure those insane tax cuts for the richest Americans while trying to freeze out people who don't have enough money to buy food.

Where in the fuck do these assholes get off with this mentality? Rich people DO NOT NEED ANY FUCKING TAX BREAKS. If a rich asshole has to pay the same rate as I do then that's not going to force them to eat ramen noodles, they will still be rich. But there are millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and now are facing losing their unemployment benefits which means they can't eat, they can't pay their rent, they can't support their families while they try to get another shitty job working long hours for sub-standard pay for a douchebag boss.

It is beyond ridiculous that the Republicans are pushing so hard to permanentize the Bush tax cuts for the richest Americans while they are simultaneously trying to starve a huge segment of the nation by cutting off unemployment benefits. Seriously, these assholes should be forced to spend some time in real poverty to see what its like wondering where the hell your next meal is coming from, where in the hell you'll find clothes to keep your kids warm, where you will live after your house is repossessed.

The "argument" I've seen is that unemployment benefits are being used to support luxurious lifestyles while people don't work. How in the fuck is $1900 a month luxurious? How in the fuck is that paltry sum anything but a subsistence stipend?

Fucking Republican assholery is going to make me lose my fucking mind one of these days. The entire party is sold out to special interests (rich people who NEEEEEEEED more money) and engages in a political philosophy called "Let's just make sure that black guy in the WHITE HOUSE fails no matter what". The Republican party is a bunch of racist obstructionists bent on winning political points while Americans freeze and starve.

But oh yeah, let's add $830 BILLION to the debt so that a bunch of rich assholes can brag about how much money they have. That makes total sense, if you're a fucking crackhead.

Corporations Post Record Profits As Republicans Call For Eliminating The ‘Insidious’ Corporate Income Tax

Corporations Post Record Profits As Republicans Call For Eliminating The ‘Insidious’ Corporate Income Tax: "

Last week, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) – a man ThinkProgress readers are familiar with – took to the House floor to bemoan the “insidious” tax on corporations. “We can compete with anybody,” Gohmert declared, “if you take off that insidious tax” on business. Watch it:

Gohmert’s defense of corporations are not the words of a single rogue congressman. Rather, sticking up for the big guy is an orthodoxy that pervades the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Newly-elected Gov. Scott Walker (R) of Wisconsin has pledged to repeal the state’s corporate income tax. Sen.-elect Marco Rubio (R-FL) wants to slash the federal corporate income tax. And Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) proposes completely eliminating the tax in his radical Roadmap for America.

Conservatives’ attempts to portray corporations as victims in this economy is dubious for two reasons. First, despite right-wing misinformation, American corporations actually already pay far less in taxes than those in other industrialized nations:

Source: OECD

In fact, because of tax havens and other loopholes, many mega-corporations actually pay little to no taxes. The most recent high-profile example is Google, which has used income shifting and other tactics to reduce its effective tax rate to 2.4 percent. General Electric went a step even further. The company not only avoided all corporate income taxes last year, but actually recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 billion.

Secondly, despite the myths that corporate taxes are “strangling” business, and that President Obama is “anti-business,” a report released today from the Commerce Department shows that American companies actually brought in record profits during the last quarter. With an annual profit rate of $1.66 trillion, the third quarter of this year produced “the highest figure recorded since the government began keeping track over 60 years ago.”

Still record profits are likely not enough to convince conservatives that corporations have it just fine in the U.S.. Even apologizing to mega-corporations that just dumped millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico isn’t enough. Right-wingers like Gohmert and Ryan will not be satisfied until we give tax-free status to all corporations."

More backwards thinking douchery from the Republicans, what else is new?

Perry’s ‘Favorite Paper’ Slams His Refusal To Debate In An Above-The-Fold, Above-The-Nameplate Editorial

Perry’s ‘Favorite Paper’ Slams His Refusal To Debate In An Above-The-Fold, Above-The-Nameplate Editorial: "

Picking up the GOP’s new strategy, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has refused to debate his Democratic opponent Bill White because White would not release his personal income tax returns for three years in the 1990s. Despite the fact that White paid no personal income taxes in 1995 and did release some tax returns, Perry still refused unless White released additional returns by September 15. Because of this impasse, Texas may not see a general election gubernatorial debate “for the first time since 1990.”

To the consternation of newspapers across the state, Perry has also refused to meet with newspaper editorial boards, where political candidates answer questions from Texas editorial writers and editors in an effort to win the newspaper’s endorsement and inform voters of their positions. Yesterday, Texas newspaper Tyler Morning Telegraph — the paper he once described as his “favorite” in the state and “the most conservative” — lambasted Perry for his “unacceptable and undeserved” position of “silence.” In an unprecedented above-the-fold, above-the-nameplate editorial with an all caps headline, “TIME FOR RESPECT –GOVERNOR PERRY SHOULD END SILENCE,” the paper called on the Texas governor to meet with its board and debate White:

Your position to not visit with the editorial boards of Texas newspapers may be astute politically, but it demonstrates a disregard for newspaper readers and voters across the state, who deserve to hear substance rather than silence.

It is therefore with the greatest concern that we offer not only an editorial board meeting with us, but also an opportunity for a face-to-face debate between you and your opponent, former Houston Mayor Bill White, for the purposes of illustrating to Texas voters your positions on key issues.[...]

We are facing what’s rumored to be the largest budget deficit and crisis in the history of our state – informed estimates of the budget shortfall range from $18 billion to $20 billion. Newspaper readers, whether Republicans, Democrats or Independents – deserve to hear your solutions to the staggering problems we will be facing as the legislative session begins.

Instead, we’re confronted with an unacceptable and undeserved silence.



This newspaper, which you have repeatedly called “your favorite paper in the state,” has given you support in previous elections in the form of endorsements.[...]

You also have characterized this as one of the most conservative newspapers in the state. We guarantee a level playing field.

As the Texas paper Austin American-Statesman’s Jason Embry noted this morning, it is “very rare to see a newspaper put an editorial on the front page. (I can’t remember any paper I’ve worked for in my 12 years doing that.) Even more rare to put it above the fold. But above the paper’s nameplate?”

Trying to shift blame, Perry insisted in an August press release that it was White who was refusing to debate. But, as the White campaign pointed out, White had accepted five televised debates (six now) and called on the governor to join him in those debates, which Perry has refused to do. Perry’s debate defense was not only false, but made such a “ridiculous claim” that it earned Perry the “pants-on-fire” ruling from nonpartisan fact-checking organization Politifact.

The San Antonio Express-News and the Houston Chronicle, along with three other newspapers, have said they will host a debate on October 19 “even if White is the only one who shows up.” (HT: Burnt Orange)

"
That the Republican's new ideology appears to be one of silence or just saying No is kind of pathetic. Like someone replaced the entire RNC with a bunch of pissy 5th graders who were just told they weren't going on the end of the school year field trip to Six Flags. Grow up, you jackasses.

'Tis Nobler to be a Moron Than a Republican Apologist

Conservative Pundits Rush To Defend Barton, Praise Him As Courageous

Yes, because someone's got to come to the rescue of a multi-billion dollar company doing almost nothing to put a stop to the environmental catastrophe they created by blindly checking off safety inspections.

How anyone can defend BP without massive financial incentives is incredible to me. Of course, most of these "representatives" are being compensated by Big Oil. Or they are total asshats. Or both.

If the people who elected these jackasses cannot clearly see that their reps don't give a fig about them by their words then there really is little hope for those sheeple.

How anyone can pay attention to the shit Newt Gingrich continually spews without pointing at him and laughing is beyond me. The guy wouldn't know an honest opinion if it started banging his daughter on the dining room table during Christmas dinner.

The entire Republican defense of BP is like a huge flashing neon sign demonstrating so clearly how little the GOP gives a damn about its base. They care about the big money from Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Lumber, Big Insurance and any other industry with deep pockets they can reach into and donate massive amounts of cash to get their people elected to shill for them.

America: The best false Democracy lobbying money can buy. Disgusting.

Hypocrisy? That's For Libruls and Schmucks!

McCain Commented On AZ Anti-Immigrant Law While Admitting He Hadn’t Looked ‘At All The Aspects’ Of It even while attacking others for commenting about laws they haven't fully read either.

In the time since McCain's run for the Oval Office, he's basically sold out his limp little soul time and again. John McCain has absolutely ZERO credibility with many Americans because he speaks first and learns second, if at all.

Hypocrisy = Republican privilege.

Breaking News: The GOP Supports and Protects Rapists

In yet another sign that the GOP has completely sold out its last vestiges of humanity, 30 Republican Senators voted against a legislative action brought by Senator Al Franken:

To prohibit the use of funds for any Federal contract with Halliburton Company, KBR, Inc., any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, or any other contracting party if such contractor or a subcontractor at any tier under such contract requires that employees or independent contractors sign mandatory arbitration clauses regarding certain claims.

 Who are these 30 reprehensible special interest owned asshats?

NAYs ---30
Alexander (R-TN) Barrasso (R-WY) Bond (R-MO) Brownback (R-KS) Bunning (R-KY) Burr (R-NC) Chambliss (R-GA) Coburn (R-OK) Cochran (R-MS) Corker (R-TN)	Cornyn (R-TX) Crapo (R-ID) DeMint (R-SC) Ensign (R-NV) Enzi (R-WY) Graham (R-SC) Gregg (R-NH) Inhofe (R-OK) Isakson (R-GA) Johanns (R-NE)	Kyl (R-AZ) McCain (R-AZ) McConnell (R-KY) Risch (R-ID) Roberts (R-KS) Sessions (R-AL) Shelby (R-AL) Thune (R-SD) Vitter (R-LA) Wicker (R-MS)

If any of these people represent you or your interests then please take a few minutes to register your outrage in their support of companies that want to get away with raping their employees and then preventing them from bringing legal action against them. This is beyond outrageous and ridiculousness.

At least one of this jackals has a daughter, John McCain, and I hope she raises hell and smacks her hate-based father square in his smarmy jowly face for working to support contractors like Halliburton. This legislation stems from an incredibly disgusting case where a Halliburton employee was gang-raped by her co-workers, locked in a container and forensic evidence destroyed.

Read that article and then compare it to the legislation voted against by those 30 Republican Senators and tell me there is any possible way they can defend their actions. There is no way to justify voting against this legislation. And these Senators deserve to be publicly humiliated by siding with rapists against common decency.

Never Let a Little Thing Like Reality Intrude on Your Politics

GOP Rep. Introduces Bill To Deny U.S. Funding For Nobel Winning IPCC Because Of Its ‘Junk Science’ only it isn't junk science at all and his refutation of the warming of the earth comes from a freakin' economist.

Dear Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), you are a moron pretending to be a congressional representative. You are misrepresenting a huge number of good scientists with an economist. You are engaged in a demonstrably false campaign for political reasons. You are part of the problem in denying the reality of climate change being a human-based responsibility. Please shut your yap hole and get out of the way so that honest people can get to work trying to fix the harm we've done to our planet before our planet makes us all extinct. Jackass.

Snarly Backs Stupid Over Honest for GOP Future

Cheney backs Limbaugh over Powell on GOP future which is to say, Dick Cheney is a narrow-minded dumbfucking idiot who prefers the company of other narrow-minded dumbfucking idiots over a thoughtful, honest and popular man.

The further afield that Cheney, Lord Rush, Joe the Asshole Plumber and Newt lead the GOP, the better. It makes it easier to get real work done while the GOP further marginalizes itself and displays what a thoroughly hate-based philosophy they are clinging to.

More Republican Rats Show Their True Colors

Jonah Goldberg: I want Obama to fail just like Rush Limbaugh and numerous others despite the fact that failure means our country is in even worse shape than it already is.

Despite the fact that if a Democrat had said that they wanted Bush to fail, the GOP would have gone into hysterics, despite the fact that calling for a president to fail is akin to betraying the American trust.

Despite all of this, the GOP wants Barack Obama to fail in his quest to rebuild our country.

The GOP is the party of hypocrisy, stupidity, racism and fat white guys who already have a crapload of money and don't care about anyone but themselves.

Two-Thirds of Americans Support Investigations

Jack Reed: ‘I don’t think we should be afraid’ of investigating Bush crimes. Neither do I. The people that are calling it a waste of time seem to not understand the message sweeping ShrubCo's myriad crimes, lies and misdeeds under the rug sends.

Bush lied and we are mired in a swamp of a war in the middle east, the terrorists have grown in number, power and reach and the reality is that we are far less safe than we were on 9/10/2001.

His position on torture, his inability to listen to far smarter advisers, his cowboy mentality, his photo-op presidency has left this nation in a very, very precarious place. He needs to be made to pay for his crimes like any other citizen.

George Bush is an accused war criminal and needs to be treated as such. By not prosecuting him, his actions are being implicitly condoned by the United States of America.

I apply the same lens to his actions as to my own. If I'd done what he has done then I'd expect to be in prison, he should be no different.

Rats Gnawing on a Powerless Bone(head)

Its kind of sad and sort of awesome to watch how the Republicans are lining up to turn on their former leader, the now ex-President George Bush.

The latest is Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell: Bush was a ‘burden’ on my party.

Don't feel to bad, Mitch, he was a terrible burden on this nation and the world as well. But it sure is nice to see how quickly you turn on your own.

That and the blatantly racist idiotspeak coming out of some of your so-called pundits.

Barack Obama's been our President for a week and he's already done more to win my confidence and respect than George Bush did in eight stolen years.

Enjoy your marginality, Republican Party. The nation is moving on without you and your divisive rhetoric.

Rose-Tinted Ass Glasses: Bush Defends Katrina Response

Bush On Katrina: ‘Don’t Tell Me The Federal Response Was Slow’ which is to say, he's misremembering reality, again.

From the article:
– National Guard troops did not arrive in the area until two full days after the levees were breached.

– Bush did not leave his vacation home or assemble a task force until Wednesday, two days after the hurricane made landfall and the levees were breached.

– By Thursday, three days after landfall, FEMA had yet to set up a command and control center.

– FEMA Director Michael Brown said he had not heard about the more than 3,000 evacuees stranded in the convention center until Thursday. Many evacuees had been there since Tuesday morning.

– On Friday morning, Bush praised Brown: “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.” He also said he was “satisfied with the response.”

– FEMA did not finalize its request for evacuation buses until Sunday, six days after Katrina hit. The buses “trickled into New Orleans, with only a dozen or so arriving the first day,” noted the Wall Street Journal.

– The Superdome was finally evacuated on Sunday, a full seven days after 30,000 evacuees had arrived there.

Maybe we are differing on the interpretation of the word "slow", Georgie? Maybe a week is fast in your world but for people living in the hell that was the aftermath of Katrina, it was a lifetime and the blase way you went about dealing with it speaks volumes as to your character or lack thereof.

The revisionisticalism effort continues unabated and unfettered by reality.

Revisionisticalism

Cheney: It’s Just An ‘Urban Legend’ That I ‘Exceeded My Authority’ As Vice President just as its a lie that he shot his hunting buddy in the face while drunk, lined Halliburton's pockets with billions and billions of dollars and publicly told Patrick Leahy to go fuck himself.

Dick Cheney is a deeply hateful and wrong human being who is, in large part, responsible for the state of our nation both internally and for the loss of respect around the world and for being a major recruiting tool for the terrorists because of his support for torture of prisoners.

History cannot and should not be kind to this miserable excuse for a human being. Long may he burn in the deepest pits of hell.
