Boy, leave it to the media in this country. They are so wrapped up in a good story they care little about the very thing they are supposed to do. Tell the American people the truth. With the new right-wing media and the old supposedly "liberal" media that is close to right-wing, America gets a raw deal when it comes to getting the truth reported to them. Take the response to Obama's Iraq speech as an example. Who do the media look to to respond?? The liars who got us into a huge, costly, idiotic mistake to begin with.
All over the country Republicans are drooling over their prospects at getting back into power and continuing their policies that divided our country and destroyed our economy. However, to do so they have to hope the electorate is very forgetful. Yes, is has been just a few short years since a Republican Congress teamed with the worst President in American history drove our country into a ditch. Now, to regain power Republicans need not remember any of that, but the greater need for McConnell and his ilk is the need to mislead.
One of the worst things happening all over the right-wing media right now is a continual blaming of President Obama for things that President Bush did while being enabled by a Republican Congress for six years. Yes, all over the country Republicans are going to extremes to paint Obama as the cause for a clearly Republican crash and several of the bailouts that followed. They even go as far as trying to say Obama has been in office for three years. However, as always with Republicans the facts just never bear out the crap they try to feed the American people.
Of all the great myths pushed off on America as fact one of the ones with the most far-reaching implications for many people is the myth that Social Security is insolvent. Of course this myth is perpetrated by those who have hated Social Security since it's onset but have been forced to remain silent because Social Security is such a beneficial and popular program to so many. However, some within Corporate America, Wall St., and the Republican Party have long salivated over destroying the only retirement many millions of Americans will ever afford and in fact they almost did completely destroy it once. Just think what would have happened if George W. Bush would have been able to privatize Social Security like he wanted before he crashed the economy off a cliff. The modern robber-barons who pull the strings and REALLY steal freedoms would have gotten their wish yet again.
We are getting quite used to Sarah Palin opening her mouth and idiotic nonsense spewing forth. However, in the case of the expiring Bush tax cuts she has passed beyond idiocy and become a complete liar. You see, Democrats are in favor of retaining all the tax cuts for everyone except high-end earners. You know, the Republican base that has plenty of money to support folks like Palin and the propaganda they spread to convince you to let the wealthy have more of your money.
Everyone hears how Republicans are always bemoaning the fates of "small businesses". Those of us who have long ago seen through their facade know that is just a talking point, and their true goal is to protect the profits of Corporations who outsource middle-class jobs, not small businesses who create them. The fact of the matter is if your bank account is less than seven figures Republicans could care less about you no matter what you do. Now, the proof positive is out to small businesses. When it comes to regaining power to protect Corporate America Republicans do not give a damn about you.
Disclaimer: Here at Hillbilly Report, we do not condone the use of the Hillbilly Heroin. It makes you into Rush Limbaugh.
Well, the Oxymoron is at it again. Yes, the fattest, ugliest, and most drug-addicted cheerleader to ever don a mini-skirt for the greediest and least patriotic among us must be high on the Hillbilly Heroin once again. He just cannot seem to get his facts straight in his stoned-out stupor. I have been trying to show some real facts on this site lately about the real cause of America's debt and our deficits but of course after popping a few Oxys like M&Ms, Limbaugh loses all his memory.
With the looming fight for control of Congress, Republicans despite an ailing economy and an ailing country have just decided to say no to everything Democrats have proposed to do to try and help America recover from the mess Republican control of our whole country during the George W. Bush years and before caused. From denying unemployment benefits to those who lost their jobs due to the Republican crashing of the economy, to allowing Corporate money to continue dominating elections, to opposing any attempt to reign in Wall St., who used Republican deregulation to crash the economy the Republicans consistently say no to anything that could help the country by claiming it would add to the national debt.
What do you do when you are the third ranking member in the House and your party's policies when enacted almost completely crashed our country into a ditch?? What do you do when the opposition party is desperately trying to clean up the mess you created?? What do you do when you cannot let the working American know what you really feel about them, except when Rand Paul accidentally lets it slip out?? What do you do when you care nothing about average Americans but only seek to enrich the greediest and least patriotic among us?? Of course, you lie through your teeth about what you really believe and what the other party really wants.
Republicans like Mitch McConnell want to spew all kinds of reasons why they will oppose Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. While McConnell states that Ms. Kagan cannot "take off her public advocacy" hat the real root of the problems McConnell has with her run much deeper. You see, for decades now Republicans have done all they could do to roll back the programs of the New Deal that have benefited average, everyday Americans because he seeks to throw that money away to the Communist Chinese and Corporate America instead of using it to help Main St. America. The Kagan nomination would be a huge step backwards towards that goal.
Remember when Rush Limbaugh said that he would leave the country if the healthcare bill passed?? Now, we all now Rush Limbaugh is a shameless liar and propogandist and now he seems to be backing out of his promise to leave the country. Of course, Limbaugh would fit in a lot better joining Mitch McConnell as a citizen of Communist China, but lo and behold here in America we will still have to deal with him firing up the mindless masses. I guess he was upset because the healthcare bill may not allow for doctor shopping to attain his beloved Oxycontin.
Ah Karl Rove. A liar so disgusting even his own friends dubbed him "Turd Blossom". Now, realizing he was the "architect" of one of the most dishonest, disgusting and corrupt Administrations in history he is seeking to rewrite history and diffuse he and his former boss's sorry spot in it. However, his writings on the Bush years are full of even more lies, and an assault on all of those who exposed the Bush agenda for what it really was.
While I have been disappointed by the direction of this Administration one thing remains true. When they took office our country was disasterously close to a Great Depression. A Depression wrought by the irresponsible policies of greed enacted during the Bush years of being rubber-stamped by an uncaring Republican Congress. While I personally feel the stimulus did go far enough, the Looney Tunes on the right are now deeming the whole bill a failure. Yes, talking heads like Glenn Beck may bark like a dog, but the facts show they are just licking their own butts.
Many of us here were opposed to the Iraq War from the start. I simply did not ever understand why being attacked by a group and leader of that group supposedly centered in Afghanistan meant that we needed to go into Iraq. Despite many long years and thousands upon thousands of lives lost, not to mention the hundreds upon hundreds of billion dollars wasted we are still mired in that country. Now, the Vice-President is admitting how much of a huge mistake it was to go into that country. However he, and the administration should take it one step further.
At the recent tea-bag convention Sarah Palin, whose main foreign policy experience seems to be the fact that she could see Russia from her home in Alaska, got a lot of things wrong in her speech. As the new darling of the greediest and least patriotic among us she was fast and loose with the facts. While the possible candidate for the GOP nomination passed out red-meat for the rabid masses, she seems to have left the facts somewhere frozen in the Alaskan tundra.
Reports yesterday detailed how Sarah Palin had been hired by Fox News as a "contributer". Of course, this is a match made in hell as both Fox News and Sarah Palin like nothing more than spreading propoganda and lies. While the brainless masses that depend on Fox as "news" will definately be pleased this dark marriage will definately produce plenty of new lies and propoganda if the past is any indication.
Man, the Republican Party. If you want to get a good insight as to how hypocritical these folks are all you must do is look at the folks they worship. Dick Cheney can lie about wars that kill thousands and cost a trillion dollars of American treasure, as well as treasonably out a CIA agent but he is a Republican hero. Carrie Prejean can pose nude in pictures and masturbate in front of a camera for a man she is not married to but it is OK because she "loved" him and she hates gay people. Oh, but one of the best examples of Republican idiocy and hypocrisy is none other than newfound cultlike celebrity Sarah Palin.
Well, we have a healthcare bill passed in the House. While I have very mixed feelings on the bill, it is at least a step in the right direction, albeit a baby step. However, as while I wanted the bill to be stronger and fear it's fate in the "House of Lords" known as the U.S. Senate, I will not sit idly by as Conservative idiot "pundits" lie about the process which gave birth to this historical vote.
Dick Cheney is not only a liar but he is a criminal too. Besides lying to the country to draw them into a war that killed thousands of people and made billions of dollars for himself and his shameless cronies, he also spearheaded the outing of a covert CIA agent which in my estimation is equivilent to treason. Then, to compound this he showed his utter cowardice by allowing his underling, Scooter Libby to take the fall for his crime.
Poor Rush Limbaugh. Maybe he should learn that if you want to spew lies and propoganda about other folks then there is a price to pay. Sure, it may make you a hero to some of the most insufferable people on earth, but everyone else cannot stand you. After over twenty years of spewing ignorance, hate and idiocy he simply refuses to admit than anyone else but himself is to blame for most of America simply loathing him.
