Heated Confrontation As GOP Congressman & Constituents Schooled By Businessman (VIDEO)

by: egberto

Thu May 02, 2013 at 00:09 PM CDT

Middle Class America has a new hero. His name is John Mullins, a 57 year old Auburn, Alabama businessman. America needs a few million more in the delusional congressional districts that have chosen to allow Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and a few other Right Wing hacks to distort their inherent intelligence and create an alternate state of reality.

Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama's 3rd district conducted according to oanow.com his "Congress on Your Corner" town hall meeting in April. Mr. Mullins, a constituent got completely fed up while listening to as he called it "crazy talk" from Auburn resident and constituent Carl Gagliano. The GOP congressman seemed completely shocked and remained speechless.

The video captures Mr. Mullins castigating the Gagliano and giving the GOP congressman a schooling in economics that is long overdue not only to this congressman but to all those supporting the proving fraud that is the austerity being imposed by Right Wing Republican and Right Wing Conservatives throughout the world. Mr. Mullins makes very important statements that are all backed up by facts.

• Sequester negatively affecting small business people
• This congress has done much hurt the economy
• Cutting funding in a recession hurts customers which hurts business
• Deficit spending in times of war and times of recession/depression is economically sound
• Government spending should not be cut during recessions since it is the only entity that has the money to spend.
• Republicans attempted austerity during the Great Depression which exacerbated the depression. It put millions more out of work (you would think they would have learned from history).

It is refreshing to see a resident, a constituent, a business person, and a patriot, not afraid to confront a room filled with the vociferously uninformed. This is what it takes to recover a country from a destructive, deceptive, and false ideology.

For too long throughout this country Tea Party Right Wing Libertarian Republicans have been at town halls unchecked giving their fact-less positions more sway in the body politic than warranted. This has given America the dysfunctional congress it has. As more John Mullins, make their voices heard, normalcy and prosperity will return.

Reagan's Confidant Says Republican Party Is A Coalition Of Gangs That Stands For Nothing (VIDEO)

by: egberto

Sun Apr 28, 2013 at 09:37 AM CDT

Video At My Site Since Newsmax Won't Embed

President Ronald Reagan's former budget director David Stockman excoriated the Republican Party in an interview he  gave to Newsmax TV. While he attacked President Obama for not cutting defense in an era where America is the only super power, in no uncertain terms he laid blame for the predicament of America squarely on the Republican Party.

After Newsmax Anchor David Nelson asserted that many believe the house is divided (the Republican Party that is), he asked David Stockman if he believed Republican leaders like Ryan, Boehner, Rubio, Paul, or anyone else could unite the party. Stockman shot back with a response one would not expect in a Newsmax interview.

[David Stockman's response]

No. I don't because I think the Republican Party is not really a party. It doesn't stand for anything except reelecting itself. It's a coalition of gangs....

The Neo Cons which I have no use for are only oriented to an aggressive imperialistic foreign policy, a big defense establishment, and suppression of our civil liberties. That's a bad. I am against that.

The Tax Cons want to just cut taxes anytime any day regardless of the fiscal situation. That has gone to absurd lengths. I oppose that.

The Social Cons, social policy people, the right to life issue, gay marriage and all that, that's irrelevant to governing a democracy in a free society.

That is basically the heart of the Republican Party. In that mix how can you find anything that is going to stand for conservative economics, fiscal rectitude, free markets, sound money; it's not there. The Republican Party is basically irrelevant to the economic crisis that faces the country.

David Stockman has been a critic of the Republican Party for some time now. I wrote the article "David Stockman: "get out of the markets and hide out in cash" Corruption Of Capitalism" a few weeks ago where Stockman was quoted saying "This debt explosion has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party's embrace, about three decades ago, of the insidious doctrine that deficits don't matter if they result from tax cuts."

It is not the intent of this piece to give David Stockman a pass. After-all, he was Reagan's supply side, trickle down, voodoo economics doctrinaire. He is more Randian than not and as such should be considered anti-social and immoral based on his animosity towards a society that provides equal access to all. His belief system just provides equal access to all those that are able to acquire and control capital in non-productive manners. The intent of this article  is to illustrate that even a supply side hack has come to the realization that the vast blame of the destruction of the American and world economies lay at the wild intransigence of what the Republican Party has become.

Mr..  Stockman seems to be progressively sharpening his criticisms in all venues as the ineptitude and intransigence of his party continues. One can only hope that he will trigger what many are hoping for, a rebirth of a viable Republican Party that stands for real American values, a party that stands for middle class values, a party that remembers the time when it actually did good. Real Liberals need a viable conservative party to ensure the purity of liberalism is maintained and do not succumb to a lazy absence of a legitimate pushback.

Dylan Quick Slashes 14 Students At Texas Lone Star College-Knife Control Legislation? (VIDEO)

by: egberto

Wed Apr 10, 2013 at 10:23 AM CDT

The violence in America continues. Another student, this time at Lone Star College in Texas attacked fellow students. Fourteen students were injured. It seems this is yet another student with some sort of mental problem. KHOU reported that

KHOU

In the confession, 20-year-old Dylan Quick reportedly told detectives Tuesday's attack was part of a long-held "fantasy" he had since his childhood.

"In a videotaped confession, he admitted he stabbed the complainants with an X-Acto knife and a scapula [sic] because of his fantasy to kill people," said a prosecutor. "Apparently there are more than six complainants, and a bloody knife tip was removed from the chest from one of the complainants."

The charges against Quick were read in court, but he wasn't there out of concerns over his mental health. Quick has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

The student is accused of going on a stabbing spree at Lone Star College's Cy-Fair campus, injuring at least 14 people.

The sheriff's said Quick told investigators he'd had fantasies about stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school, and Quick indicated he'd been planning the attack for some time.

I was having coffee with Marc Croes, a liberal friend of mine and community activist. He said he received an email from one of his conservative friends stating "I am waiting for the liberals to introduce knife control legislation!". Marc answered, "There were 14 injured in Texas' knife attack today. A few hours earlier, 13 died in shooting spree in Serbia. I'm just saying."

While Marc's exchange was rather amusing on the surface, it has a very important message. It provides a real life example of the outcomes depending on weapons used.

Opponents of gun control love to counter that if there are no guns people will still find a way to effect their killing. That is absolutely true; however the magnitude is that much less.

Most students were able to run away from the knife wielding student. It is hard to outrun a bullet. Multiple students were able to position themselves in order to jump the attacker and subdue him. How many must be shot before one can jump to subdue a gunman with multiple guns with extended magazines.

This Texas incident should be used as a catalyst to illustrate why sensible gun control is necessary. We cannot stop crazy people from attempting to do harm.

Full background checks will catch a percentage of the mentally impaired or the criminals trying to get guns legally. Making the sale of extended magazines illegal will reduce the amount of carnage as the opportunity to subdue the gunman during a magazine change comes much quicker. There other helpful controls like a waiting period that may allow a suicidal person to reconsider.

We cannot take guns away from everybody. We cannot stop all people that are attacked either with a gun or other weapons from possibly dying. We can however pass laws that minimize that possibility while ensuring that those who want their constitutional right to bear arms are honored.

Jon Stewart - Americans Should Be Ashamed of Our Treatment Of Veterans (VIDEO)

by: egberto

Thu Mar 28, 2013 at 04:30 PM CDT

Original Post HERE.

I am ashamed of myself for not doing my small part to make this an issue that is publicized and one to fight for. America should be ashamed of itself for this willful ignorance. Most importantly President Obama should be ashamed of himself for not leading effectively in solving the problem of veterans getting the benefits they've earned for going to war. Most Americans are oblivious of the terror most of our veterans faced on the battlefield and the struggles they must deal with as they are reintegrated into society.

Everyone loves to be patriotic on the Fourth of July, on Veterans Day, and at times when the country's uniformed soldiers are performing. Yet as one goes home after singing the Star Spangle Banner and America the Beautiful, most forget that the soldiers that were thanked with words deserve the corresponding deeds.

It is true that on any giving day, the mainstream media will provide a nibble or antiseptic snippet of the plight of the veterans that are waiting for their benefits. That comedian/satirist Jon Stewart is the one trying to make this an issue and assigning blame where it really belongs, speaks poorly of our entire mainstream media.

President Obama must be commended for providing budgets with large increases in veterans' benefits. President Obama made a whole lot of promises to veterans and fulfilled most. Michelle Obama has been working with veterans and military spouses to match them with private jobs. That said, having great benefits is one thing. Being able to access it is another. According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, veterans are waiting over a year for their benefits.

Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs has failed to provide key information to Congress and the public that shows the agency's ability to quickly provide service-related benefits has virtually collapsed under President Barack Obama.

Internal VA documents, obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting and authenticated by the agency, reveal that delays newly returning veterans face before receiving disability compensation and other benefits are far longer than the agency has publicly acknowledged. The documents also offer insight into some of the reasons for those delays.

The agency tracks and widely reports the average wait time: 273 days. But the internal data indicates that veterans filing their first claim, including those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, wait nearly two months longer, between 316 and 327 days. Those filing for the first time in America's major population centers wait up to twice as long - 642 days in New York, 619 days in Los Angeles and 542 days in Chicago.

The ranks of veterans waiting more than a year for their benefits grew from 11,000 in 2009, the first year of Obama's presidency, to 245,000 in December - an increase of more than 2,000 percent.

Jon Stewart in the video below provides a strong critique of government and specifically President Obama. He makes a salient point that could be paraphrased as follows. Republicans can be blamed for much of the bad that is occurring in government. On this specific issue the President must accept responsibility and ensure that solutions are effected. After all, as the head of the party that promotes the truth that government makes a difference and only government can do certain things, showing failed government by having a broken VA system could insure that the party that hates government is returned to power.

Video at my site as HULU and DailyShow does not embed here.

This infographic is probative. The VA has released a new plan called Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Strategic Plan To Eliminate The Compensation Claims Backlog dated January 25^th, 2013. This plan maps out a strategy to get the waiting time down to under 125 days.

President Obama is pushing very hard to get gun legislation through Congress. President Obama is pushing very hard to get comprehensive immigration reform. Every special interest from bankers, to drug makers seems to get waivers or special attention when it is deemed an emergency. The treatment of our veterans is an emergency. It is likely costing lives and livelihoods.

The inadequate dispensation of benefits to veterans is not the fault of our brave soldiers. It is of an incompetent process. It is time that every veteran is allowed to file for benefits and get them immediately. Every American files their taxes and gets their returns on the assumption that they are being truthful. Cheaters can be prosecuted at a later time. We owe at least that to our veterans.
