Churches Back Republicans - I.R.S. Targets A.C.L.U. Lawyers! |
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
WITH THE MID-TERM elections just eighteen days away and
counting, Judeo-Xian worshippers across the country are
working closely with the RNC, to "Get Out The Vote" for
the mission-critical Tuesday November 7th 2006 election.
Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled I.R.S. is "looking
closely" at unpatriotic Anti-Christian A.C.L.U. lawyers
who complain against Christians involved in this year's
Get Out The Vote Republican Crusades to retain/maintain
control over all three main branches of our beloved U.S.
Federal Government; and this with *MUCH* interest (pun).
Churches large and small, synagogues, mosques, ashrams,
temples, classrooms nationwide are actively encouraging
their flocks to *VOTE* Republican in these upcoming mid-
term elections. Liberals lose another election. Too bad... :-D
Enjoy Life! (and fillet a liberal for lunch, sharply)

vulnerable seats is in your state.

concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind cannot
begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is not an old
religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and never has
been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in its
simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world of madness."

It's not so much the *****-slinging that's bad - I think a lot of
voters see through, or ignore, that stuff.
It's the (if it isn't illegal it should be) dirty tricks, like
threatening to deport immigrants who vote, like Rethugs doing
telephone marathons to swing voters claiming to be Democrats who
support the Democratic "gay agenda" candidate. And I'm sure they'll
come up with more as we get down to the wire.
And I'm sure we'll hear about voting machines in heavily-Democratic
districts that break down early and don't get fixed, polls with armed
nasties outside (talk about electioneering), polling places that have
to be relocated at the last minute ... all the tricks that have worked
before. Even if dozens of people end up in prison for them (and
Jebus' return is more likely), the courts aren't about to call for a
new election - the damage, once done, can't be undone.

Some believe the crap, but those are usually people who have decided to
vote against the target of the ads anyway.

I'm sure that you heard about the jackass in California who sent out
letters in Spanish saying that you could go to jail if you voted and
were an immigrant, legal or not.

I live in the 50th Congressional district in California, the home of the
infamous machine 'sleep overs'. I'm voting by mail this time, but I
wonder if that's any safer. The ballots are read in an optiscan machine
also made by Diebold or ES&S. At least there's a piece of paper
somewhere, unless of course they throw the ones they don't like in the
dumpster.
I've signed several petitions and I really wish we could go back to old
fashioned paper ballots where you just put an 'X' next to the candidates
name.

What's entertaining about that is, after a while, if an electorate angrily
stomps down to the polls to "throw the bums out" and the bums are still
there, the government's credibility eventually goes into the toilet.
In short, we'll become the Soviet Union...

Well, we're not quite there yet. But we're well on our way toward one
party rule.
Speaking of which, one sign we're not there quite yet is CNN woke up. I'm
sure they'll hit the snooze button but they were running a series on
"broken government" and I caught one segment in which they actually talked
about the Republican party leadership dismantling the House. No debate, no
deliberation, the party members are marched in to vote on bills they don't
get to read. They don't govern. Party members are expected to spend their
time raising money for the party and voting blindly on bills the
leadership demands.
I couldn't believe CNN was actually talking about it, about how Soviet the
House is now. And how they've been working to make the Senate the same
(that's what the big "nuclear option" thing and the squawking about judges
was about).
They've almost got it to where we're ruled by executive decree. Two
centuries of tradition flushed away in a handful of years...

Why bother? Putsch has already shown that his method of governing is
to do whatever he wants. If Congress passes a bill he doesn't like he
ignores it, if they fail to pass a bill he likes he acts as if it
passed anyway. Why waste money and effort on maintaining a Congress?
Send them all home, send the federal judges all home and let Henry
II^H^H^H Bush do what he wants.
I wonder if, in 2 years, we'll hear that it's dangerous to the

elections for president are being put off until the war is over.

Two things hit me. One, I didn't know it had gotten quite *that bad. I
mean, I knew they were ramming corporate written bills through without
bothering to debate them but the degree to which they had Sovietized the
House surprised me. Two, CNN was talking about it?
CNN???
I wonder if, in 2 years, we'll hear that it's dangerous to the

For a while now, I've had this nagging voice in the back of my head that
keeps whispering "nobody goes to this much trouble to seize this much
power just to hand it over to someone else."

Be interesting to watch. If they keep Congress this time round, it
wouldn't surprise me if they complete their little one party rule project
and we'll actually reach the point nothing short of an actual revolution
will dig them out of power.
Not that *this public would do anything. I mean, commercial breaks aren't
long enough...

Why worry about Congress? He'll do what he wants, making appointments
as he chooses, pocket vetoes, presidential orders, regardless of what
Congress does, whether they steal this election or the Democrats take
control of both houses.
Not that *this public would do anything. I mean, commercial breaks aren't
long enough...
Even without commercials, their attention spans aren't long enough.
And they'd never believe that America is anything but a total
democracy. Just let the Churches do what they want and the clergy
will keep the sheeple in line.

Well, we're not quite there yet.
True - they still let us pretend to vote for an opposition party.
Speaking of which, one sign we're not there quite yet is CNN woke up. I'm
sure they'll hit the snooze button but they were running a series on
"broken government" and I caught one segment in which they actually talked
about the Republican party leadership dismantling the House. No debate, no
deliberation, the party members are marched in to vote on bills they don't
get to read. They don't govern. Party members are expected to spend their
time raising money for the party and voting blindly on bills the
leadership demands.
Why bother? Putsch has already shown that his method of governing is
to do whatever he wants. If Congress passes a bill he doesn't like he
ignores it, if they fail to pass a bill he likes he acts as if it
passed anyway. Why waste money and effort on maintaining a Congress?
Send them all home, send the federal judges all home and let Henry
II^H^H^H Bush do what he wants.
Two things hit me. One, I didn't know it had gotten quite *that bad. I
mean, I knew they were ramming corporate written bills through without
bothering to debate them but the degree to which they had Sovietized the
House surprised me. Two, CNN was talking about it?
CNN???
I wonder if, in 2 years, we'll hear that it's dangerous to the
national security to change presidents in the middle of a war, so
elections for president are being put off until the war is over.
For a while now, I've had this nagging voice in the back of my head that
keeps whispering "nobody goes to this much trouble to seize this much
power just to hand it over to someone else."
[grim smile] No, they don't.
They've almost got it to where we're ruled by executive decree. Two
centuries of tradition flushed away in a handful of years...
Oh, looks as if we were thinking along the same lines.
Be interesting to watch. If they keep Congress this time round, it
wouldn't surprise me if they complete their little one party rule project
and we'll actually reach the point nothing short of an actual revolution
will dig them out of power.
We're already at that point and have been for a couple of years.
They're more and more blatant as time goes on.
Not that *this public would do anything. I mean, commercial breaks aren't
long enough...
No, but military units certainly could.

Will become?
Well, we're not quite there yet.
True - they still let us pretend to vote for an opposition party.
Speaking of which, one sign we're not there quite yet is CNN woke up.
I'm
sure they'll hit the snooze button but they were running a series on
"broken government" and I caught one segment in which they actually
talked
about the Republican party leadership dismantling the House. No
debate,
no
deliberation, the party members are marched in to vote on bills they
don't
get to read. They don't govern. Party members are expected to spend
their
time raising money for the party and voting blindly on bills the
leadership demands.
Why bother? Putsch has already shown that his method of governing is
to do whatever he wants. If Congress passes a bill he doesn't like he
ignores it, if they fail to pass a bill he likes he acts as if it
passed anyway. Why waste money and effort on maintaining a Congress?
Send them all home, send the federal judges all home and let Henry
II^H^H^H Bush do what he wants.
Two things hit me. One, I didn't know it had gotten quite *that bad. I
mean, I knew they were ramming corporate written bills through without
bothering to debate them but the degree to which they had Sovietized the
House surprised me. Two, CNN was talking about it?
CNN???
I wonder if, in 2 years, we'll hear that it's dangerous to the
national security to change presidents in the middle of a war, so
elections for president are being put off until the war is over.
For a while now, I've had this nagging voice in the back of my head that
keeps whispering "nobody goes to this much trouble to seize this much
power just to hand it over to someone else."
[grim smile] No, they don't.
They've almost got it to where we're ruled by executive decree. Two
centuries of tradition flushed away in a handful of years...
Oh, looks as if we were thinking along the same lines.
Be interesting to watch. If they keep Congress this time round, it
wouldn't surprise me if they complete their little one party rule
project
and we'll actually reach the point nothing short of an actual revolution
will dig them out of power.
We're already at that point and have been for a couple of years.
They're more and more blatant as time goes on.
Not that *this public would do anything. I mean, commercial breaks
aren't
long enough...
No, but military units certainly could.
Speaking of which, I hear military guys who criticize reich whiners like
The Big Giant Head are being censored. For security purposes of course...
I saw that today too. We are not allowed to criticize Big Brother or the
Big Giant Head.
You mean Big Frat Brother don't you Citizen?
Of course. I was just testing your loyalty, Citizen.
Sure you were Goldstein...

surroundings, you will find yourself in a place which has conditions
exactly suitable to your being there. If the environment was
hostile or incompatible in some important way then you would not be
there in the first place. Therefore the suitability and seeming
perfection of your universe cannot be taken as evidence of anything
more than your existence in it."
