Abort the GOP!

The American Taliban!

When Kennedy ran for President, he made it clear that he would not mix religion with his job...and that he represented all Americans. I believe he was true to his promise. Frankly, I do not believe that Romney is capable of this. He and his cohorts are a good old boys club who think that women will lie down and let them mow over them--stealing their rights and coercing them to have children they are unprepared to raise. Standing behind them are their wives who smile and gust at their every word...backed up with "wonderful families" made up of equally brainwashed children. I am tired of the nominating committees where millions are spent when people are homeless and starving. This is not the American I used to be proud of. What has happened to us all? I suggest that anyone reading here google Eisenhowers parting speech when he left office about the Military Industrial Complex. He was so right on it is scarey.

I have worked all over the world in the oil industry and I am embarrassed by men, predominately white North American men, who seem to think it is cool to put down, not only women, but others due to the color of their skin, thier religion, or anything else that may fall into disagreement with the white man's culture. Many, who in the protective confines of their cheesie little cliques, openly state the only problem with Obama is the fact that he is black. "I no longer work in that environment. I can't. I have seen the treatment of Latinos, Indians, Philipinos, Pakistanis, and the Muslim people who are not representative of the wealthy. Of course all of these "faults" are no longer "faults" if you are wealthy. Who do we think we are?"

Judging from what some of the reuplican candidates say..they are the super heroes..god said so.

I have been reading a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, surely a spiritual life for our times since he opposed Hitler and the Nazi 'Xtian' church and was hanged for it on April 8 1945. He and Neimoller and some others created the 'Confessing Church' which 'confessed' to the example of Jesus of the Gospels.He was also a huge part of the Valkyrie plot even though he was a Christian pastor. The church that the Nazis supported was one that called itself christian but was nationalistic, racist (in seeing nothing and doing nothing for the Jews, the mentally challenged, the gypsies, the gays, and all the others who were not like them. This 'church' which seems to be the GOP church of choice is too closely mirrored in some of the churches here-and it is easy to see which is which. As mystic Yeats wrote 'The center cannot hold,things fall apart'-we will once again see 'what rough beast' Hold fast to your highest most spiritual beliefs, gentle readers!

I wonder, why is the GOP so afraid of women?

Just for the record, I'm tired of worn-out US dinosaurian references to "Family values" and what a family should be. I know that countries (allies or whatever you like to call them) like Saudi Arabia and most of the Middle East are worse but this is the nation that jets around the world slapping others on their wrists via Mrs (or is is Ms?) Clinton, yet becomes more Medievalist with each passing week in which the current GOP even figures as a significant power-source.
I have an acquaintance in Hawaii who is totally dominated and directed by a "pure Christian" wife who states that she goes along with whatever he says -she just makes sure that what he says is sanctioned and approved by herself first.
Maybe this is what gave us the Palin VP scenario and other prominent female Rethug's like the appalling Brewers and O'Connels, now seemingly at bay somewhere she can find some credibility.
Hitler wanted women to be strictly Hausfraus and progenitors of (preferably) Aryan supermen for the thousand-year Reich.
My Gawd, imagine a future dominated by Rovian-clones with multiple chins or worse, li'l Chuck Norrises -or a combination thereof???!!!
I nominate the Bush dynasty for the best attempt at perpetrating the Corporate-state dream so far. Either way, women lose unless they begin to push back with their own, unique power and wisdom.

Missouri's John Ashcroft: Let's remember that he's the only senatorial candidate in my memory who lost to an opponent who'd died during the campaign. It's tough to lose to a dead man. The deceased's widow was named to the post, and Ashcroft went to the Dept of Justice to lead his colleagues in prayer.
