"We reap what you sowed"

The real people on the dirt floor of Alabama and other rural red states will be among the most affected by the cuts proposed in Trump's wall-building, defense-heavy itinerary.

The majority of the American people did not vote for the candidate who promised to repeal and replace ObamaCare, destroy the environment, privatize education, cut taxes for the wealthy and services cut for the poor, senior citizens and the disabled. 

This is what happens when hate trumps love.  EYE hope all of those who cared more about the damn emails and Benghazi than they cared about themselves and their country are happy now.

EYE understand why #GOPCongressCowards are skeered to face taxpayers

If EYE were a GOP Congress Critter EYE would be afraid to face my constituents too. Especially those scary democrats because EYE would have to admit the media enabled narrative was an #AlternativeFact. 

Contrary to misguided belief the majority of the American people don't hate ObamaCare more than they love themselves.  The majority of the American people like having access to quality affordable health insurance. 

The majority of the American people don't want to send them there illegals back to Mexico.  The majority of the American people aren't afraid of Muslims.  The majority of the American people don't care more about keeping women from choosing to have a safe legal abortion, keeping the gays from getting married and controlling what bathroom transgendered taxpayers use.

Now if the GOP had listened to the people instead of their media enablers they wouldn't be afraid to face the masses and we the peeps wouldn't be in this mess.

Speaking of the Tea Party-infused media enablers,  they have the nerve to whine because the creature they created has turned on them.  You know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

Of Coons and Scumbags 2015

When Sean Hannity has to tell you to dial back the coonery–you have officially earned the title Coon of the Year.

EYE deplore name calling, but sometimes you just have to call a Spade a Spade.   The Angry Black Rant composed a list of the Top 10 Coons of 2015.  In case you are wondering, yes, Coon(s) is a racial slur when non African Americans use it.

2015 was another coontastic year full of black folks doing their latest and greatest “Shuck & Jive” routine to remain in the good graces of mainstream conservative white America. I could go on and on for days about the kind of self loathing self centered and selfish motivations that go into making certain black men and women suspend all manners of pride and common logic while spewing the most embarrassing rhetoric for the sole purpose of ingratiating themselves with the kind of dying breed of thought propagated on Fox news, but I don’t have all day and since we have already said farewell to 2015 I’m going to cut to the chase and share my top 10 Coons of the last 365 day cycle…

Be sure and check out the Honorable Mentions.

Al.com's  Kyle Whitmire asks Who was Alabama's 20156 Scumbag of the Year?   The list was long, but the winner is:

The 2015 Scumbag of the Year is state Sen. Larry Stutts, a freshman lawmaker who a year ago was known only as "that guy who beat Roger Bedford."
Stutts, who is an OBGYN,attempted in his first Legislative session to repeal a law named after a patient who died in his care.
Rose's Law, which requires insurers to cover at least 48 hours of hospital care for new moms, had been passed after the death of Rose Church, a nurse from Haleyville who died after giving birth. Stutts was her doctor.
Stutts didn't tell any of his legislative colleagues about his part in the history of the law. Instead, he characterized it as Obamacare-like intrusion of government into healthcare, and solicited unwitting cosponsors to have it overturned.

Just like republicans to blame Obama for their failures. #BlameItOnTheBlackGuy

So many Coons and Scumbags, so little time.

The #SOTU The Day After the King "Holiday", Five Things I HOPE #PBO Says Tonight

OUCH 65% Hurts! #StateOfTheUnionInThreeWords (Even Republicans are sick of Republicans) pic.twitter.com/l15ya5x0uG

So yesterday was the Martin Luther King, Jr. "Holiday",  the day when white Americans and black Americans, Jews and Gentiles, young and old, rich and poor,  join hands and sing the words of the iconic Civil Rights  anthem We Shall Overcome, basking in the glow of love and reconciliation.

NOT.


Regular readers know I don't celebrate the birthday of a dead man who was reviled and hated in life.  I call it The see we ain't prejudiced day.   A day when some (not all) white Americans proclaim their love for the man some called Martin Luther Coon, a Communist, and an outside agitator in life.

A father and husband who was assassinated, which is a nice name for murdered, because he was a drum major for justice.

A holiday that was reluctantly passed , and believe it or not,  six members of Congress who voted against the holiday are still in Congress today.

After the speeches, singing, and other symbolism , the United States of America goes back to being the United States of white America. I hope the media is happy they enabled the party who opposed the King Holiday and cornerstone Civil rights legislation to take control of the House and the Senate, but I digress.

The day after the King "Holiday", President Barack Obama will present the State of the Union Address to a Congress controlled by republicans.  NPR has outlined 5 Things to Watch , but I would like to outline 5 Things I HOPE President Obama says tonight.

1.  You won't hear it on TeeVee and other so called mainstream media outlets,  but the state of  the economy is booming.  Gas prices are lower than they've been in a decade, and will continue to drop.  More jobs have been created, and unemployment is at an all time low.  ObamaCare is a success, Americans aren't going bankrupt because of medical bills due to a lack of health insurance, however, if your insurance cost are higher it's because the governor of your state hates me more then they love you.

2.  Speaking of people who hate me more than they love you, include congress in that Klan, I mean gang.  I vow to get out my Veto Pen and to issue Executive Orders  like a sledge hammer on any legislation that does harm to this country and it's citizens.

3. My Name is Barack Hussein Obama and I am the POTUS.

4.  To the democratic party, I want to know if you are with them or against them?  If you are with them, I have something for you too.  Memo:   You are either on my side, by my side, or in my f#@king way.

5. We are going to stop fighting them there and start fighting them  here.


Good night, God Bless America, We Shall Overcome starting tonight.

Graze King: From Welfare Queens to Simple Scofflaws

What a day April 15th was!

First, of course, it's the day we settle up with Uncle Sam. And for anyone who procrastinated, you bad. You got penalties now.

O yeah, and about that health care thing? If you haven't squared that yet, get yourself over to ObamaCareS, er, oops! It's last call (and I'm not talkin' alcohol!): Open enrollment is over for 2014! See if you can still get coverage! Come on now, spread the word! Did you get an email, holding your place?

Critics of the Affordable Care Act call it welfare. You know, like the fraudster reportedly zipping around in her Caddie. She rollin' ya know?

That description of the fictional "welfare queen" was first used by President Ronald Reagan.

But this week, another of President Reagan's legacies sprang into the forefront of national politics. It might be termed "Crazed Graze King."

President Obama, and/or one of his cabinet members, prudently decided to spare our nation and world of the debacle of massacring "women in front" over a 20 year old range fight. Stagecraft.

And the rumor mill can stop spinning: it has nothing to do with Harry Reid and cattle and solar.

I HOPE the Supreme Court overturns the individual mandate

Pick your teeth up off the floor and read on.

According to the all knowing, Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads, The Supreme Court will overturn the individual mandate portion of the Affordable Health Care Act on Thursday.

Sometimes a loss is a victory, we now have the opportunity to put the health back into health care reform.

Ever since health reformers opted to put lobbyists before people, partisan brawls over "Obamacare" and "Hillarycare" have dominated public debates. In dragging federal health reform before the Supreme Court, however, conservatives not only succeeded in shining a critical spotlight on this flawed law. Inadvertently, they have also given us another chance for envisioning a health care system that actually meets our health needs.

This is an opportunity to give the people what we want; Real Universal Health Care 

As the nation awaits a Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of the Obama health care approach, a new Associated Press-GfK poll suggests that the vast majority of Americans want Congress to come up with a better plan. They know that the current system is unsustainable. Only a third of those polled favored the law President Barack Obama signed, but according to the AP, “... Whatever people think of the law, they don’t want a Supreme Court ruling against it to be the last word on health care reform.” The article continued, “More than three-fourths of Americans want their political leaders to undertake a new effort, rather than leave the health care system alone if the court rules against the law, according to the poll.”

Americans need and want real health care reform.

Republicans say that Americans don't want top-down government control of their health care. But what we have now is top-down corporate control of health care. Insurers, drugmakers, sellers of expensive equipment, hospital executives, labs, home-health-care services and others unnamed prosper by exploiting the chaos in our health care system.

 NO COMPROMISE this time.

This opens the way to a political bargain. Insurers might be let off the hook, for example, only if they support allowing every American, including those with pre-existing conditions, to choose Medicare, or something very much like Medicare. In effect, what was known during the debate over the bill as the “public option.”
So in striking down the least popular part of Obamacare - the individual mandate - the Court will inevitably bring into question one of its most popular parts - coverage of pre-existing conditions. And in so doing, open alternative ways to maintain that coverage - including ideas, like the public option, that were rejected in favor of the mandate.

We want Medicare for All! 

If it's Sunday it's time to Meet the Pest~Trayvon Martin Edition

I woke up this morning to the most NOT trusted name in news, CNN, pushing the New Black Panther Party Offers $10,000 for George Zimmerman, meme.  What I want to know is; who/ where is the New Black Panther Party getting $10,000 from in this economy?  If they have $10,000 they should give it to Trayvon Martin's parents.   Psst CNN!  I know you love all war all the time, but please stop trying to incite a race war for ratings as a weapon of mass distraction from Trayvon Martin's death.  Click


I flipped over to Meet the Pest, I mean Press, with David Gregory and spit out my coffee when I saw  Haley, Boss Hoggs, White Citizens Council, Pardon Gate, Scott Sisters, Barbour, of all people, talking about the Trayvon Martin case.  Psst David Gregory!  Haley Barbour has no creditability on race issues.  Haley Barbour had no creditability on race issues.  Haley Barbour will never have any credibility on race issues.  Click.


Then comes MSNBC's  Alex Twit, I mean Whitt asking Ron Allen if George Zimmerman's side of the story resonates with the people in Sandford, Florida.  Psst Alex!  Hell to the NO, Zimmerman's side of the story is not resonating with the people in Sanford, Florida because everything he said is a L-I-E.   Your colleague Melissa Harris Perry  is speaking TRUTH to power.   Click


Somebody had to die so Dick Cheney could live, thanks to the best Government Run ObamaCare for Life our tax dollars can  buy.  And that's all I'm going to say.
