Hit Back Harder

Kudos to the Democrats and the Obama team. For once, they did what they should be doing every day. Hit back hard at the republicans and tea partiers, and give them a dose of the same medicine that they made the democrats/Obama drink every day since he took office. I remember seeing an article in the Washington Post about how the Obama team hit back at Barton because they want to get political mileage out of it and help them in November. OMG ... eff the ucking course they were extracting every bit of political mileage out of it. Why the heck would they not? There is a bi...iig difference between the mileage the extracted and the slimy tactics of the gop/teeps (short for tea partiers) though ... Barton made a real comment about 'shakedown' and that comment did reflect his views (and probably many big business fans in the gop), though he was foreced to apologize later. In fact Rush 'out on a limb' baugh is trying to slime the $20 billion fund as a sinister ploy by the Obama admin to distribute money to ACORN .... boy, I tell ya, with a base like the one the GOP/Tea Party has, you can make them buy anything ... just suggest it long enough and they get hypnotized into believing it (because they want to ..). Almost makes me wonder if we should have a minimum IQ as a criteria for citizenship of this country. But I wouldn't fault the brainwashed as much as the washer-boys .. if Limbaugh is intentionally misleading his listeners into believing something that even he knows is untrue, and endangering the livelihood and financial status of millions of households in the gulf region in the process, then he is a slimy rodent and should be made to crawl back into his hole. 

What the GOP/Teeps do, which is reprehensible, is that they intentionally twist and manipulate the other side's words to extract a convenient meaning which has as much to do with the truth as Iraq had to do with 9/11. So, the health reform becomes equivalent to 'death panels' and 'regulation' becomes equivalent to government takeover of corporations. They keep brainwashing the clueless hide heads with devious intentions and try to demonize the opposition even when they are doing their best for the country, because their only interest is in winning the next election (the country be damned!). 

Well, if blogs like mine crop up everywhere then 'hitting back harder' will become the norm of the Democrats too and it wont take too long for them to turn the tables on the traitorous tea party. Watch put for more tips on how to 'hit back harder'.

Continuing from my earlier article, I've added the link for Krugman's follow-up article below. As he mentions, people who are opposing the stimulus and revival plans for the economy are putting our future at stake. Whether you are opposing because you're bone-headed (read 90% of tea party/gop followers), or should I say jelly-brained cause it can be molded in two seconds by any tea party klutz railing against Obama, or because you are a scheming traitor (read 90% of the GOP/Tea Party leadership), there are no two ways about it - YOU ARE DESTROYING THE VERY ECONOMIC FABRIC OF OUR COUNTRY - Al Qaeda couldn't have done any better than you tea party folks are doing. Try to listen to what the other side is saying for a change (try to take off the prejudice tinted lenses for a change and for god's sake try to broaden that weany little mind of yours and READ the article below).

If you cannot make sense of this article then you have two freaking options

1) Either let the people who have been spent months and months studying the causes of the crisis and breaking their backs to fix the situation do their work, and support the superlative and selfless Obama effort to revive our economy and our country

2) or provide an intelligent alternative to fix the economy (and fruckin back it up with numbers). Do not just sit there like a sick dog spewing froth from your mouth, and parroting your demented and crooked leaders.

I know it’s not easy to knock sense into the gop faithful and the tea sipping party ‘animals’, though they seem to fall for convenient balderdash faster than oil can spill out of the deepwater horizon. But we believe in a little bit of ‘empathy’ and would like to give them a chance at redemption. Here’s hoping the dense brains of the gop/tea party faithfuls can comprehend plain English, and looking forward to the amazement of an intelligent response to this very informative article from Paul Krugman of the NY Times which puts the whole deficit debate in very simple language (simple enough for our ape-brain friends to understand). I hope this makes them realize how the tea party traitors are betraying our country and destroying it economically.

More evidence of the deliberate deception was on display during the healthcare bill. It was clear as day that the insurance premiums were going through the roof and becoming unaffordable for a lot of people. There was no doubt that some kind of reform was necessary and that something had to be done to put a brake on the premium increases and also include as many non-covered people as possible. Instead of agreeing that reform is required, and trying to help the Obama administration come up with the right plan, the tea party/repubs plainly refused to speak to him. They may as well have said ‘screw you and screw our country’, for that is exactly what they were doing. When they were required to do their bit as representatives of the people, they ignored their duty and played gutter politics again, and started poisoning people’s mind again. They fed them trash about death panels and government choosing doctors, and the ape-brain tea party folks just lapped everything up (what will they not fall for). It was an extremely well thought out plan, and actually managed to increase coverage and reduce the country's deficit! Truth be told though, it’s not just the persuasive powers of the tea-party leaders that makes them fall for all kind of hooey (death panels, for god’s sake!). They had serious doubts and prejudice against the current president right from the beginning and the 24-hour mud-slinging operations from the likes of Haughty Hannity led to the deepening of their doubts and some of the mud stuck. However, part of it was because they really wanted to believe all the muck they heard and so they convinced themselves that it’s the truth. Otherwise, anybody with half a pea brain in their head would know that Palin knows as much about Healthcare as we know about Moose hunting ,and the criticism she was trying to cook up (don’t kill grandma!) were a laugh riot, and dirty politics motivated by her sheer ambition to get to the presidential nomination. That is the dirty psychological warfare that the right-wing keeps playing … keep telling people over and over again that (a blatant lie) is the truth and after some time some people will start believing it’s the truth. So, keep saying that the president is socialist and is making government take over our life, and the tea party foot soldiers will fall over themselves to believe it. Heck, Obama is as much a socialist as Mitt Romney, if you compare their health plans. Oops, try bringing that comparison up with the Palins and Becks of the world, and you'll see them roll over and play dead. Their job is to shred every action that Obama takes into pieces, so that they can feed the shreds to their loyal followers who wag their tails at them. Doesn't matter if the action that Obama is trying to take is vital for our country's economy and security, and to the survival of many Americans. Politics comes before country ... maybe they should make that the slogan of the tea party. I do repeat, however, that the blame is not with the majority of the tea party followers or republicans (aka the 'brainwashed'), it mainly lies with the ones who are intentionally misleading these guys (i.e. the 'brainwashers', who'll do exactly the same things as Obama when they're in office, as those actions are necessary and make sense) and playing with our country's future.

What everybody should not forget though is that in the name of political opportunism they were destroying our country, and hence they (the brainwashers) deserve to be branded the dirtiest of ‘traitors’.

Cause anybody with half a brain would know that you cannot risk a 'spiral of death' by not shoring up the Greek government and the financial system in the country. Obviously, the 'bailout' should come with many strings attached, and a stringent plan for austerity and repayment. True to form though, there are morons in every corner of the world and Germany is no exception. The ignoramuses who are protesting Germany's support to bail out Greece do not realize that if that is not done then they will have the fallout come and bite a big chunk out of their backsides. Well, to their credit at least they are protesting about their government saving somebody elses's ass (in their opinion), but or very own tea party poops protested our own government saving our own asses and even founded their joke of a movement on that event. One day for sure, the morons who became part of the movement for that reason and bought all the hooey about 'government taking over our lives' will hang their head in shame (like a lot of the Iraq war defenders did when they saw 'the light'). I wish we had the luxury to wait till then, but I'm afraid we are not as moronic as our tea party friends .... keep tuned in on how the tea party will get the rug pulled out from under their feet and will get DECIMATED.

The second part of my series on the 'Tea Party Expose' has been significantly updated. Read how a section on the tea party movement had betrayed the country and should be branded as 'traitors'. You can read it here.

I think it's about time we give a strong message to all politicians that we will tolerate nothing else other than the unadulterated truth. We all know that the Arizona law has nothing to do with crime prevention ... it is so obvious that illegals do not commit more crimes than the local population. But, it is a convenient facade to hide the obvious agenda, which is to 'terrorize' the immigrant population (both legal and illegal) so that they'll think twice before immigrating to America (or crawling under the fence). The local population is sick of the growing 'foregin' population and is furious about them taking their jobs.

Well, I don't expect that truth from the Arizona governor, but at the very least what I would have liked to hear from her and the legislators was something like the below.

"We have tried various options in the past to sten the flow of illegal immigrants in our state, and partly due to inadequate support from the federal government none of those initiatives have been successful. Since we cannot wait for the Federal government to fix this complex issue, we are forced to pass a tough law to combat this rampant problem. We realize that this may cause some concern to our legal immigrants, whom we welcome with open arms and who have bought enormous diversity and economic vibrancy to our state and country. However, please rest assured that we will not let this law be miused in any way and will very strictly deal with any abuses related to this law. We will not allow police officers to stop a person solely for the purpose of checking papers. We just want this law to be an additional tool in their arsenal, so that when a stop has been made for an unrelated offence, the officer has the legal authority to check the papers only if the situation demands such a request. We will be happy to discuss all the details of this new law with anybody who desires it, and will also set up a number where people call up relating to any perceived abuse of this law. We thank the residents of Arizona for their trust and cooperation."

The dirty reality of politics is evident from this statment from the Arizona governor, Jan Brewer. "I received 5186 calls in favor of the law and 2006 calls against". Obviously, principles and justice do not play a role here. The role of the leader, whether it is a governor or a president, is not to fan the flames of fanaticism that has taken over the general population. It is to think on a higher plane and do the right thing, not just follow the mob. If joblessness and depair have made people so deseperate that they are 'desert'ing the last shreds of morality and justice, then it is the duty of the leader to try to reason with them, and not fan the flames of bigotry and injustice. It is very evident that Jan Brewer will go to any extent to keep her seat, and if signing the law is required to get herself re-elected she will do it in a flash, even if it means trashing every basic tenet of decency and justice. We do not want leaders who are looking only after themselves and we will make sure that she does not get re-elected. Obama became president because he had the guts, at at time when everyone was pandering to public fury after 9/11 and votedi n favor of the Iraq war, to strongly oppose the Iraq war and very presciently laid out the results of such an endeavour (all of which have come true). We want leaders who have what it takes to do what is right, and not just do what it takes to get re-elected.

Let's also make one more fact very clear to her. There are many people out there who are opposed to this law and haven't called her yet. So let's even out those numbers and flood her with some nay calls that the calls in favor of the law will seem like  a rounding error. Moreover, one convenient ommision from the governor is that she hasn't disclosed how many other modes of transmission she has received and hwat the count for that is. I have a feeling that neanderthals who support the law might be more amenable to using the phone (hey, there might no Internet connection in those caves) and people who have the capability to think on a higher plan might use more modern modes of communication, like email/blog posts. Even though the numbers should not matter in this decision, as the governor's job is to what's right and not just do what's popular, let's still give her a feel of the ferocity of the opposition. The number to contact the Arizona governor's office is given below, along with a link in case you prefer written communication. Feel free to vent.

Should the common man pay the price for the decisions of the government? In many cases, as in the Iraq war and in the calls for the embargo against Iran, many Americans do believe that such an approach is justified. How else do we give a message to the government, and how else do we make them realize their mistakes? How else will we compel them to reverse their decision? Well, my initial knee-jerk reaction was to join the calls for boycott (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/us/27arizona.html?bl), especially after the more infuriating comments by the governor justifying her actions (and all the elected reps shameless using the same masquerade when they voted) as something that is required to handle the increasing crime in her state. They can try as much as they want to call this 'immigrant purging' by any other name, but luckily this time (unlike in the Iraq war) the American people are not going to fall for that joke of a reason and are not going to get brainwashed.  The sad part is that there are many Arizona residents who support this law, and we will make every effort to ram some sense and empathy into them too.

However, after some due thought, I decided that I will stick to my principle, where I will not knowingly make any innocent person suffer and pay the price of the ignorance and activisim of their racist brethren. The truth is that there are many residents in Arizona who oppose the law too, and our collective actions against the state will hurt then for no fault of theirs. That was one (small) piece of my arguments agains the Iraq war (which involved deception and sliminess on a much larger scale), and also against the secretive incarceration of 'suspects' in the years following 9/11. The same way an American drone would not target a civilian area knowingly, we will not target an area knowing that we will 'hit' innocent people as well. However, those neanderthals who passed the law need to be taught a unforgettable lesson, and I would appreciate if you have any suggestion in that regard (please leave a comment or drop in a note to admin@hitbackharder.com). I would also make our voices heard loud and clear and make sure each one of us sends a messsge to the governor and the elected reps, by using the links below (or calling).

Also, lest we become like the tea party ourselves, let's try to come up with some good alternatives to combat illegal immigration, without letting the hard-working legal immigrant suffer.

OK, I had to hold off on my tea party series of articles as this took more immediate precedence. I do not have to give my opinion of the outrageous law passed in Arizona, but all I can say is we will not take it quietly. Obviously many immigrants cannot vote yet (they are not citizens yet as the process takes a while) so passing this law may not hurt the governor politically, but we will scream loud enough that her head hurts. Let me say it one more time, as the many 'ape brains' in this country do not seem to get it (or do not care what happens to 'foreigners'). You cannot create an atmosphere of harrasment and intimidation for the legal immigrant just to catch a few illegals. This country cannot reach a stage where you have to carry your passport when you go out to throw the trash or else you might be chucked into jail. No siree, that is not done. This country invited all the legal immigrants and is partaking in all the economic they provide (hey, they gotta buy a lot of new stuff when they get here), and then hound and harass them to satisy one of your narrow objectives. It is obvious that the people who passed this law cannot empathize with the impact of this law on immigrants, and the amount of mental strain it puts on them, as they haven't lived as an immigrant anywhere themselves. But we will hammer empathy into every citizen of this country, if that is what it takes. It's also besides the point that this law applies to everybody, so citizens have a good chance at being pulled over too, and it will be good fun to see people who passed this law being pulled over and asked for birth certificates/passports. I doubt that will happen though as I have feeling that the people who passed this law do not look like an immigrant. Check out this story though, to get a feel of things to come - > http://digg.com/d31PQVn.

However, the focus of this blog is not just to voice opinions but also provide means for action. I urge every person who agrees that this law is toxic to contact the Arizona Governor and give her a piece of your mind ... heck, give her more than a piece if possible for she certainly needs some grey matter up there ...
