OP-ED by John Liming

It looks to me like some of the Rethug’s desperate attempts to smear the president and to discredit him and to make him the butt of a lot of “scandals” that I have always believed are – - – contrived – - – have done nothing but drive his approval ratings with The American People through the roof!

Even as I write, it is my understanding that all the so-called “evidence” surrounding all the “Scandal” in the news lately that has reportedly been produced by some on the Right Extreme is beginning to come apart and dissolve like sugar in a rainstorm – - – which is exactly what I would expect to happen! Truth is always stronger than lies and Truth eventually prevails in my opinion!

Could it be that the great majority of Americans are fully aware that the main priority of those who would have made Obama a one term president – - – remember that one? – - – is not governing but is – - – in fact – - – nothing but trying to make the president look bad?

Have the obstructionists in Congress shown one single instance where they have demonstrated anything that even comes near to being described as “Governing?”  I do not consider chronic stonewalling – - – obstructionism – - – refusal to compromise – - – as “Governing.”

Is it possible that America has heard the Right Wing Radical Extremists’ propaganda bull feces so long they are becoming weary of all the lies, deceits and treacheries coming from that slime pit and are starting to think of some of the Righties as too ignorant to learn the lessons of History?

It is my opinion that if enough lies are told and if enough lies are told for long enough a period of time – - – there comes a time when the lies are seen for what they are and the liars are rewarded with abandonment by those being lied to – - – and I think this is what is happening right now between “Real” Americans and some of the Radicals of Right Wing Extremist Conservatism.

I think The American People have propelled the President’s approval ratings – - – even in the face of what some have described as “Scandals” because The American People don’t buy the Rightie propaganda anymore and have begun to ignore the accusers and their asinine presumptuous accusations and innuendo.  That’s what I think about it!

Impeachment Momentum Reportedly Building!

Re:  Right Wing Radicals Claim As Much As Half The Country Wants The President To Be Impeached:

OP-ED by John Liming

The Nut Flakes Are Running Amok Again!

I think one of the best ways to make a point such as the one some of the Right-Turds are reportedly trying to make about impeaching the sitting president of The United States is to go out and get some private polling firm to collect some opinions from a target audience and then to claim that an “exclusive” poll is showing whatever result whoever ordered the poll in the first place wants from the poll.

So what I am saying is that if I go and tell “Right-Tassed Polls, LLC” to find me some figures that proves I am not myself and they go out and ask a whole bunch of weird-wireds a few leading “Questions” about my identity – - there is every possibility – - if I pay them enough – - that they are going to certify that more than half of America does not believe I am who I say I am and I can then use this as fodder for any propaganda campaign against myself that I choose to initiate – - – and I can feel good about discrediting my identity because I have “Expert” proof that what I am saying is – - Gospel frigging truth!

So I am reading this article on another site – - a site which is to my way of thinking – - –  an obviously “We Do Not Like The President At All” kind of site – - – and one which I am not about to soil my own site by mentioning – - –  and the article is telling me that an “Independent” poll has revealed that “Half” of America wants Obama to be impeached.

I said to myself as I read this shee-yat – - – “Duhhh . . . yeah – - – “Half” of America! – - – the Right-Wad Radical Obama-Hating half – - – maybe – - – or maybe it was just “Half” of the targeted – - selected – - number of folks surveyed – -  a number that might have been somewhere near say 1,000 or 2,000 – - – maybe 4,000 or 10,000 – - –  a “cross-sampling” of America – - – a bull feces poll . . . a total bull feces poll!

I could do that kind of polling myself if I was inclined to – - – so what is the big deal about dancing a maypole about this one?  It is the kind of stuff that some of the Righties like to do is all I can think of!  It is how some of them are! Geez! – - – it must be awful to spend an entire lifetime stuck in the doldrums of some form of intellectual infantilism and it would be even worse if one was stuck in such a place with a constant run of snot-lip brought on by chronically dissolving brain matter.

Some of the a-wads in the president-hating business seem to me to  love to speak of “The American People” when what they really mean is “The Part Of The American People Who Think Exactly The Same Way We Do”.  I sometimes really believe that some of them totally discount everyone as “True Americans” – - – “Real Americans” – - – except their own kind.  I first heard this kind of torp-wadism – - – yeah, that is a word I made up myself – - -  from some of the slope heads from the far radical right when I first heard such phrases as “Red States and Blue States.”

So now I am supposed to believe  some “Poll” that shows 50% of “those who were interviewed” – - – hah! hah! hah! – - believe the president should be impeached because of all the “controversies” the radical right has stirred up in their little manure pot of dirty tricks?

Here is my advice to that bunch of lump-lickers – - – “Ain’t gonna happen, baby!  Get over it and get over yourselves!”

I am here to declare before all my readers and before the whole world that just because some “Poll” has said that the present Washington “controversies” are going to put Democrat chances at taking the White House in 2016 in jeopardy – - – it doesn’t necessarily make it so!

I remember other Rightie Polls that were so confident Obama was going to get beat in a landslide in 2012 and they got their asses whupped good at the polls, didn’t they?  In fact, it was reported in some media that their state of mind – - –  once the results of the Obama win were announced – - –  was something on the order of total “Shell Shock.”

I don’t think a lot of them are over it yet either – - do you?

Well I conducted my own poll on this issue this very morning!

I asked my stuffed toy alligator and my soft fluffy owl toy and my two pet birds – - my wind-up skunk and my little green frog who holds the red satin heart on which is written, “Love” – - – I asked them their opinion of all this and guess what?  Half of them agreed with me on the issues so that is proof enough for me!

The results of my personal poll were enough proof for me that what I am thinking is correct.  But there are other measuring sticks as well.  One of the most dependable of the measuring sticks is the results of the last presidential election – - – and the one before it!  Who needs a contrived poll to prove something when the American People have already proven it themselves with their votes?

I love it when idiots rage, don’t you?

Job creators messing with workers’ lives again!

5/13/2013

Opinion

by John Liming

Why do I wake up some mornings and think that the GOP is not all that interested in working people?

Could it be some of the “tricks” I have seen them pull over the past years of my relatively long life?

Now it’s all about “Comp Time” with them according to what I have been reading.

“Comp Time” means that employers who embrace the notion may offer their employees – - – you know – - – those people who work their asses off to make some Richie Righties rich – - – and who usually get the short end of the stick – - under “Comp Time” employers will be able to get more hours of work out of their employees and will be absolved of any responsibility to pay “Overtime” but will be able to offer the employees “Time Off” from work in lieu of overtime pay – - – and I think it stinks over all because there are reportedly a whole lot of people who actually depend on overtime pay to even make it from day-to-day – - – those who are lucky enough to have a job that is!

You know what I am waiting to see – - – and if it ever happens it will probably be a “real” nightmare for workers in my opinion – - – I am waiting to see a “Right To Work (For Less)” state that decides to put “Comp Time” on the worker menu also.  The two concepts working hand-in-hand could – - – in theory – - – make a situation where workers might be paying their employers for the privilege of working at all. – - – Well it may not get that bad – - – but all this crap does seem to me to be inching closer and closer to something that smells like indentured servitude – - – or worse!  But I am just an old fart so what do I know?

What can be done?

If you like the idea of comp time you don’t need to do a damned thing because it is said that the GOP-dominated House of Representatives will do the dirty work for you if you want them to – - – just sit by and do nothing and say nothing and this comp time nightmare might come to pass and start messing with individual lives in pretty short order.

Or – - if you don’t like the idea you can always place that magic telephone call to your own elected officials at the White House. The number is on the Internet.
