"...we'd be so much better if we governed ourselves, controlled our borders and gave ordinary workers a chance against the corporate companies who've now basically taken over our political parties..."
Nigel Farage of the United Kingdom Independence Party
"Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed."
Hillary Rodham Clinton
"I don't want Alabama portrayed in a negative light because when it's portrayed in a negative light, it doesn't help me to recruit jobs in Alabama.....So I'm hurting families when I can't help people get a job in this state."
"Conservative Christian" Republican Governor Robert Bentley explains his refusal to back up Justice Roy Moore's interdiction of a federal district court ruling on gay marriage.
"Within five years, 50% of the people that you sit next to in church will not be there. And not because they're like you know, I think it's fine. Because they'll say I can't do that. I will lose my job. I've got people are picketing at my house. I just can't do that"
Glenn Beck on what he expects legalization of gay marriage to lead to.
The apologists for the Republican Party love to stress the radical economic beliefs of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton and in their words from their hearts Obama and Clinton have certainly expressed them.
But to get political power they need big money and the big money comes from elite business interests, the same ones that support Republicans.
So in the end their socialism comes out more symbolic than literal in economic terms.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is not the single payer socialist healthcare system of Canada, Great Britain or Sweden.
ACA is a government regulated (socialistic bells and whistles) system of mandatory private insurance coverage that forces costs up for current health insurance subscribers and forces the uninsured into expensive private insurance coverage.
It pumps big money into big health insurance companies and big hospital groups that are the big winners.
The truth is that the only real radical leftist policy that the likes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton can offer the people is "radical leftist sexuality".
And Hillary has the full backing of elite corporate institutions as she seeks to change "religious beliefs" with "political will".
The corporatists showed their power over "Conservative Christian" Republicans a month or so ago when Governors Mike Pence of Indiana and Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas folded under pressure from Apple's Tim Cook, Walmart's Doug McMillion and other corporate giants and the corporate backed NCAA, among others.
The GOP governors and legislatures in those states backed away from religious freedom legislation to protect conservative religious people from persecution and prosecution over their views on sexuality in a way that made Neville Chamberlin look like Winston Churchill.
Its not funny as Glenn Beck has been broadcasting in recent hours. People have lost their jobs, businesses have been fined etc. etc.
The legalization of gay marriage will open up the punitive actions against religious individuals and or institutions even further in total violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
And in the face of this the "Conservative Christian Republicans" will be as useful to the persecuted and prosecuted as the "Judenrat" were to Jews in Europe about 75 years ago.
The events of the last month have convinced me more than ever of the need for something new and different in politics that is not the emotional charade put on by the GOP Establishment and its media sycophants from Fox News to talk show hosts to websites etc. etc. etc.
Nigel Farage of UKIP has flat out identified the real problem and when are Republicans going to catch up with that message.
I suspect never but I would say that only Ted Cruz who I support financially and Rand Paul, who I don't support, have shown any kind of real backbone in opposing the GOP Establishment and even there, one can find things that are lacking.
My heart says we need a new political party and I already practice a strict policy of not voting RINO in primaries or general elections even if a Democrat may win. It means not voting Republican most of the time in general elections.
Corporate elites that want Amnesty, Common Core, Obamacare and Gay Marriage run the show in both political parties.
This week Democrat political leaders confirmed their slavishness to corporate interests by taking to the streets of Baltimore to prevent police and militants from fighting in front of the cameras. If they hadn't kept the two sides separated images of violence would have given the city they run a bad image driving the business elites away from doing business in Baltimore.
The President of the United States paid some lip to the anger over Freddie Gray but he also took time to denounce violence that puts his political party in a bad light with public opinion and the corporate money machine.
What Governor Bentley said about gay marriage has application to rioting over race as well and don't forget that at the end of the day Reverend Al Sharpton is paid by a major corporation named Comcast.
Sex will become “the opiate of the masses”
God help the masses that are already using sex as their opium......Karl Marx said “religion is the opium of the people” but his minions of today are helping to create a world where “sex is the opium of the people”
Same thing happened in the old Soviet Union when their economy was crashing. The debauchery kept the people entertained so much they didn't notice what was really going on around them.
In America today, we see the same thing. The only difference is the technology. It makes it even easier for the government to distract people from the real world. People have no idea how bad things are in the U.S. right now. One raise in interest rates, and the country goes into default.
All hell is breaking lose, but ask the "educated" college kids how it's going, and they'll say "partaaaaaaaaay!"
Hillary...free sex...I’m getting nauseous.
I was thinking the same thing. Why would I want free sex with Hillary? I’d need a bag or a flag, and a box full of Viagra.
Sex has a lot to do with it, as soon as someone comes up with free orgasm pill, there may be peace in this world. It will have to be a pill not an orgasmatron like the one in Woody Allen movie. It can also be a very dangerous item, no one will want to do anything constructive, and most would fall asleep afterwards.
