Surely he's joking (He's not, and stop calling me Shirley)

That goofy looking southern Republican is Robert Pittenger.  He's a Congressman from North Carolina and he looked at all the civil unrest in Charlotte that's going down in the wake of yet another unarmed innocent black male getting gunned down by a trigger happy cop and he's asking, "Where's the spirit of Martin Luther King?"

He's too fucking stupid to realize the spirit of MLK is alive and well when black folks rise up and fight systemic racism, police brutality, and injustice. He thinks King was some kind of meek kumbaya milktoast who just wanted all of us to get along.  He's forgotten that King led thousands of marchers out in the streets to demand an end to police brutality.  It's slipped his tiny mind that King was the leader of a mass movement that worked for jobs, justice, and voting rights for the millions of oppressed black folks in the south and everywhere else in the USA.  He's fallen for the bullshit lies of the Quislings like Jesse Lee Peterson who claim that King was a Republican who hated labor unions, for the record one more time King was a liberal who worked to unionize black folks because he knew that collectively black workers have more power than they do individually.  This white gerrymandered corporate stooge thinks we all forgot how King was anti war, anti capitalist, and ready to take to the streets whenever he needed to in order to make his point or to mobilize people on behalf of his causes.

King is out there every time black folks and their allies say that black lives matter.  King is there protesting today's wage slavery and economic injustice.  King is right there shoulder to shoulder with all people who want to see true equality, an end to racism, the end of police brutality, and who demonstrate against their oppression.

The spirit of MLK is alive and well and it is still looking for freedom, equality, and justice.  And his spirit is in Charlotte in the streets.

We peons don't need to know

You know something is wrong with your tax plan, which gives the wealthy a massive tax cut while raising taxes on the working poor, when you won't even explain the basics of it to a Republican friendly Fox News talking head.  Poor Paul Ryan, he knows his emperor has no clothes.

They're dampening down expectations for Mitt in Wednesday's debate.  They're laying the ground work for telling people that as long as he doesn't make another huge error then he wins the debate.  It reminds me of the way Republicans and Fox News prepped us for Sarah Palin's debate with Biden.

I've never in my almost fifty years on this planet seen a presidential campaign run this badly by the Republicans.  It's even worse than Bob Dole's campaign against Clinton in 1996, which is really saying something.

Here's a message from Rep. Phil Roe

I hate big government, except on payday, then I fucking love it.

I hate government spending, unless it's for things I like, like war and government surveillance.

I want to cut the budget, except for the parts that pay my salary and benefits.

We need to stop spending so much, except on things like war, my salary, my benefits, and cake.

Medicare is broke, because I made a fortune off it when I was practicing medicine.

I hate government run health care and will fight to keep all of you from getting the government run health care that I enjoy.

Social Security is socialism, except when I get it.

I hate activist judges, unless they rule in favor of the stuff I like, like voter suppression, corporate control of our elections, and stopping women from having control over their bodies.

I'm for freedom of religion for all Christians.  And I support the freedom of Muslims, Jews, and other Jesus hating religions to convert to Christianity.

I represent all the people in my district who give me money.

A vote for me is a vote for more gridlock.
