You Want A War? Pay for It!

As Iraq continues to disintegrate into violence and chaos, mainly due to the ineptitude of its government, the same neo-conservative mafia that sold the disaster of Iraq--Woflowitz, Bremer, Feith-- are all over the media, urging a new American invasion of Iraq. The fact that these liars are getting a platform by the media shows what the real agenda of the corporate interests who own the media. It turns out that Lara Logan is back at CBS. You'd think that with her track record she'd be relegated to appearing on infomercials. That CBS would take her back shows how low the standards of the mainstream have sunk.

Let's get one thing clear: Iraq was never ours to lose or win. This campaign is being waged by the GOP in order to rally its base by turning the Iraq war into some kind of "lost cause." Those people who are so anxious to go to war should answer this question: how are you going to pay for the war? Bring back the draft, impose credit controls, bring back the draft?

Think about that!

Another Faith Based Horror

If someone wrote a history of all the crimes and atrocities of the Roman Catholic Church, how many volumes would it be? Recently, in the Irish town of Tuam there has been discovered a mass grave containing the remains of hundreds of children. This was on the grounds of a "Mother Baby Homes" that the Catholic Church used to run. The matter is still under investigation, but these children apparently died at the home.

The Catholic church created a culture of hypocrisy and denial, in which young women grew up in ignorance of human reproduction. When some of these young women ended up getting pregnant, they faced social ostracism produced by the same culture. The so called "Mother Baby Homes" were really a part of a child trafficking scheme run by the Church itself. And the church was also receiving subsidies from the Irish government. So much for "faith based" social services.

300 Farting Gopers

The GOP and the right-wing media are actually attacking the Obama administration for sending 5 detainees to Qatar in order to secure the release of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. These are the same people who actually defend Ronald Reagan for sending missiles to Iran to secure the release of American hostages, but that was back in the '80s so they hope that nobody will remember. Congressional Gopers are feeling on the upswing after they forced out Erik Shinseki out of the VA. Entirely lost in the matter is that funding for the VA is set by the House of Representatives which is controlled--by Gopers! It seems reminiscent of the farting cows who caused a barn in Germany to blow up back in January by emitting methane gas. GOPers do the same thing--except that they pass gas through the mouth instead of the rectum.
