Due to a pause in the United States plans to bomb Syria, we are now back to the class warfare in this country being waged by the Snake of the House, John Boehner and his tribe of low life house republicans, on this country’s middle class, poor, and everyone in between as they continue to threaten a government shutdown on October 1.  You see, in this wonderful, currently corrupted democracy of ours, the lowest of the low, the tea baggers and other republican representatives are again trying to “negotiate” more spending cuts and trying to sabotage the law of the land, ObamaCare, by pulling a stunt that should not even be legal: refusing to raise the debt ceiling, which amounts to refusing to pay the bills that the congress has already spent.

Not wanting to uphold the law simply because they disagree with it, even though it is the law of the land and was passed the way laws are supposed to be passed in this country, by a majority of our democratically elected officials, the republicans are trying to defund ObamaCare.  Not pay for it.  Sabotage the law.  Not obey it, not enforce it.  They seem to think this is ok for the minority party to do, shut down the government, and  screw over everyone in the country that depends on government services – virtually everyone, but the poor and elderly will be hit the hardest of course.

The republicans are once again holding the country financially hostage as an illegitimate way to sabotage the laws they disagree with.  Sadly, our Nobel Peace Prize winner, President Obama, has a much weaker history domestically as a fighter than he does as the Commander in Chief in wars.  He has repeatedly given in to republican hostage taking and blackmail, and they have repeatedly paid all of us back by continuing their rewarded behavior.  And with Harry Reid, the worthless and spineless coward as the democrat’s Senate leader,  and Nancy Pelosi, being a minority democratic leader in the House of Clowns, having to go along with whatever Obama negotiates away with the tea baggers, we could be headed for more defeat and  more misery brought upon the country by the shameless, corrupt, pathetic house republicans under the leadership of the weeping, spineless, piece of Ohio gerrymandered dog shit, John Boehner.

These dirt bags have threatened the debt ceiling before, used unemployment insurance and Christmas time as hostages in the process and of coursed threatened government shutdowns.  Their cohorts in their republican led states are refusing to cooperate or work with ObamaCare, at the expense of the poor in their states and everyone else of modest means because they don’t like the law of the land and think it’s ok to sabotage it.  The republicans have also used President Obama’s weak poker playing skills to bring us the sequester, which has cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and layoffs in an extremely weak job recovery.  They have managed to layoff fireman, policeman, air traffic control, and teachers in the name of “deficit reduction.”  Some of the heartless, dark-soul republican swine in the House of Clowns voted against funding for the northeastern states after Hurricane Sandy, in the name of deficit spending, even though some of them have accepted or requested emergency federal money for their states for other things.  Hypocrisy of course is their favorite cologne.

In an article in the New York Times titled “Boehner Seeking Democrats’s Help on Fiscal Talks,” the head clown is quoted as saying  “It’s time for the president’s party to show the courage to work with us to solve this problem.”  That’s the way that asshole asks for help, by blaming Obama and the democrats for the despicable, illegitimate behavior of his party that he is unwilling and probably unable to control.  How I long for President Obama to act like candidate Obama pledged, to take on entrenched power and fight for us.  To wind down the wars.  I’ve since come to realize that overall U.S. foreign policy remains the same regardless of who is in office, but can we at least have a little fighting spirit here on the home front?  The war on the middle-class, poor and elderly has only escalated during this Great Recession, and the democratic party has turned more spineless as a whole than ever before.  We need for President Obama to stand up to the republicans on this debt ceiling/government shutdown fiasco this time and say “screw you and your shit-bag colleagues, Eric Cantor and ole fish-face Mitch McConnel, I’m not negotiating shit under blackmail.  Do your duty or face the consequences.”

And now back to Syria.  It’s hard to really know what has actually occurred, and what is planned, because we know from experience to be extremely skeptical of anything that comes out of the president or State Department’s mouth when it comes to wars of choice. In this latest twist on our march to war in Syria, it is hard to know if Secretary John Kerry’s “off-handed” remark this past Monday about not bombing if Syria agreed to give up it’s chemical weapons within a week, that the Russians suppossedly “seized” upon as an opening, was genuine, or if it was orchestrated.

We do know that Obama and Putin spoke privately over the weekend at the G 20 Summit.  We don’t know if they secretly made the negotiation there or not.  Either way, we do know now that the dynamic has changed and we appear to have a pause in our desire to bomb Syria.  Syria has apparently agreed to sign on the chemical weapons treaty, which will require them to declare their chemical arsenal within 60 days to be destroyed.  Kerry is already saying we cannot go on that slow of a time frame.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, because we know that the United States, British Prime Minister David Cameron, and France wanted to bomb Assad already.  The momentum seems to have first slowed down after Cameron lost the parliamentary vote in England to authorize a UK military strike with us.  Then Obama gambled on congressional approval which turned surprisingly in doubt of backing, losing more momentum.  Now Washington is claiming that it is the legitimate threat of force that has brought about Russia and Syria’s willingness to negotiate.  That’s probably true, but I still doubt that chemical weapons use are the real reason we wanted to bomb Syria: they were and still remain an excuse for us and our allies to help the “rebels” overthrow the Assad regime.  The facts are available to the public.  Our allied dictators in Saudi Arabia and Quattar have been the biggest financial backers of the civil war, and us, England, France, and Turkey have been helping with weapons and supplies over the past two years as well. The CIA has acknowledged involvement.  Senator Sore Loser John McCain and Lindsey Graham, have long been advocating for us to help the “freedom fighters” in Syria more. Obama has said more than once that Assad must go, but claims he prefers a political settlement, which of course won’t happen without military force.

So it seems to me that with our still desired goal of Assad being overthrown, and our continued support of the terrorists helping to overthrow his government, that we are merely looking at a pause in the march to war in Syria.  Saddam Hussein had agreed to U.N. inspections also, but the United States determined before the inspections had a chance to be finished, to go ahead and invade as we had planned all along.  Seems likely to me that no matter what is done by Syria or Russia, our bombs dropping on Syria are still in the works.  Our leaders have just fumbled this war football for a moment, as it appears to be getting a little harder to sell the same old lines of bullshit to the public to support another Western led war that will cost billions and lead to hundreds of thousands of more deaths and misery.  Let’s not forget, since the United States has all of a sudden become so concerned with innocent children being killed in war, that over a hundred thousand Syrians have already died in this bloody civil war that we and our allies have been sponsoring.

The politics here in the U.S. that have been playing out since Obama first sought congressional approval (that he assures us he doesn’t legally need) to bomb Syria is worthy of commentary.  When President George. W. Bush lied to the nation to lead us to the war in Iraq, he enjoyed solid support from his republicans, who voted heavily along party lines.  Democrats who should have known better and who did know better, like John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, voted with Bush to send our troops into a fraudulent war.  Enough democrats went along with Bush.  Now, the party that usually loves war, that talks about it, brags about it, talks tough about it during elections, the republicans, are suddenly anti-war. This is pathetic.  It is good that Obama doesn’t have congressional approval yet, don’t get me wrong, I think they all should vote no on bombing Syria, but the stench of their favorite cologne of hypocrisy is choking.  Presidential loser Rick Santorum, who talked tough in the republican primaries at the time, and who just last year was in favor of military strikes, is suddenly anti-war.  Talk about a two faced, god-claiming liar, he is one of many.  Which goes to show you once again that republicans always put party first over country.  Their convenient change of heart for war is merely a cynical way to oppose the president.  Instead of voting their conscience on the matter, they vote party politics.  And these selfish liars and den of thieves for the rich probably have a “support the troops” sticker on their cars.  They should be ashamed, but of course they vote and campaign and govern like sociopaths, so it’s hard to know if feeling shame is even possible for them.

As for the sorry excuse for a progressive party, the democrats merely demonstrate their lack of conviction and backbone.  They were all too eager to go along with Bush on the Iraq war when their political calculation told them it was the safe vote during the early years of our government’s campaign of fear mongering after 911.  Now, as the nation has grown more weary of continuous war, and hopefully more skeptical, they feel safe in opposing their own president.  It’s all about the polls for these cowards and sell outs, like Kerry and both Clintons.  And my favorite stinky, wet mop, Harry Reid, had even said he would not use a senate procedure to force a vote on authorizing force for Obama if senate republicans filibustered it.  So here, once again, had the senate republicans used a filibuster, this time for the outrageous purpose of not allowing even a vote on the important decision of whether or not to bomb Syria, just so they could impose minority rule should they lose the vote, Harry Reid again showed just how gutless and lacking in any balls he can be.  Even on something important like having the senate help decide the fate of whether or not we chose to go to war, Harry Reid was unwilling to stand up to the minority abuse of the democracy killing filibuster, because his number one concern is maintaining a life long career in an impotent senate that he resides over.  He is a sorry excuse for a senate leader, democrat or republican.  He is an even worse excuse for a democrat.  This is not to say that all democrats or all republicans fall into one of these pathetic categories, there are a few sincere ones on both sides.  Rand Paul on the republican side -yes I’m  a liberal that doesn’t hate him, we just disagree often but not always – and a few on the democratic side, including and especially Senator Barry Sanders, technically an Independent from Vermont.  But the democrats lack the numbers  in their weak pack to stand up to the united party of swine on the other side of the aisle.  And their leadership, Reid, Pelosi, and Obama, don’t lead by example.

If only we could get our politicians to fight and vote for the right causes in this country with the same veracity that they pursue wars of aggression, we could truly be a Great Society.  Instead, those in power have chosen Empire.  At the expense of the 99 percent of the rest of us and the world.
