Day is the new night

Welcome to Bizarro America. Here in Bizarro America we:

• find teachers, cops, and fireman to be leeches because they get paid by our tax dollars.
• go to war to keep the peace.
• elect people who hate government to run our government.
• want government out of our lives except when it comes to the most intimate and private parts of them.
• claim that having a child out of wedlock is proof that abstinence only birth control works.
  
• give the party of 'family values' a pass when their leaders commit adultery and sex crimes.
• hate abortion but don't want to care for the kids that get born when women don't abort their fetuses.
• invade and occupy another country because we get attacked by a quasi political religious group who we armed and funded back when they were fighting the old Soviet Union.
• cut huge holes in the social safety net and then only allow the people who made those holes to try to 'fix' them.
• give tax breaks to people who pay virtually no taxes while we raise taxes on working people.
• call white people who use violence to further their political agenda 'heroes' at the same time we call those with brown skin who use violence to further their political agenda 'terrorists.'
• elect a man who ran on promising hope and change and then are told to stand behind him when he keeps the worst aspects of the last administration.
• close schools, slash public works, and cut services in this country so we can pour billions of dollars into keeping wars of occupation going in other countries where we are not only not wanted, we're hated.
• the rich don't pay taxes but get all the benefits.
  

I don't like living in Bizarro America. I want to live in the United States of America again. Is that too much to ask?

There's no easy fix for stupid

Teabagger darling Mike Lee, the junior Republican US Senator from Mormon Cuntry, says that if we tone down our overheated political rhetoric then the Tuscon shooter wins. Ummm, hang on, I thought that guy was just a lone deranged nut who had no political ideology, so what the fuck is it to him if we tone down the calls for people to be killed or maimed if they disagree with us politically? Hey Mr. Lee, he wins if people like Palin, Beck, Limbo, Malkin, and the rest of your hate radio pals on the right don't tone down their hateful screeds. The only thing that will come of continually calling the President, who is a die hard corporate conserva-Dem by the way, a Marxist who is hell bent on destroying our country is more violence and hatred.
