Minimum wage debate...

  My cousin and I got into a conversation about the minimum wage and the plight of the fast food worker, she said McDonalds burger flippers should make 16.00 dollars an hour. I disagreed with her only because I thought it should mean there would have to be a restructuring of all wages, in all jobs across the country. How can a burger flipper make as much as a teacher with a masters? She said yes, all wages must go up! So where do we start? We have to realize fast food workers are not just teenagers any more, they are men and women supporting children and paying mortgages. Yes, fast food workers MUST picket, the minimum wage Must be raised, We can not let ourselves turn into a Third World nation with slave labor wages! Exactly what the Republicans and their ilk desire...

The rich didn't get rich through hard labor, their first million was most likely inherited and subsequent millions were made by the sweat and tears of their EMPLOYEES!! When is it OUR turn to reap the benefits of hard work? Those delusional Righties who continue to defend the 1% and their millions need to stop the masochistic thinking! McDonalds and Walmart are not gonna close their doors because there is a minimum wage hike! People are not gonna lose their jobs because there is a minimum wage hike! It will mean MORE money circulating around the country, the middle class SPENDS their paychecks, they don't stash extra cash in the Cayman's!

When workers make a living wage they can take care of themselves and their families without help from state and government programs. It's really not that hard to understand. But the 1% simply likes it the way it is, they spend millions lobbying  Washington to keep the minimum wage LOW.  And the wingnut lies just keep on and on...trickle down, it's a LIE. The poor are getting poorer and the Rich are getting Insanely Richer.....Nothing is gonna change. The Right wingers are blind sheep, heading for a life in a cardboard box, they'll just blame Obama....

Bloggy update...

Hi Bloggy friends, hope everyone is being good, I have missed the ones who I don't see every day on facebook!

So, lets see, we're having a beautiful Spring here in NJ, yesterday the AC was on, today it's cool and rainy! Been working on a new garden project, flowers are huge this year because of the weather! Hope you are having nice weather in your part of the country!

A lot going on in politics, big story is the tornado in Oklahoma and whether or not the GOP will send aid without first finding ways to cut programs that help the poor and middle class...fuckers. I did a little post on facebook, said this;

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! THESE STORMS ARE GONNA KEEP HAPPENING, THERE WILL BE NATURAL DISASTERS IN EVERY STATE, BUT THE GOP WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING HELP FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT WHEN YOU MOST NEED IT!! DO NOT FORGET, THAT MONEY FOR AID IS OUR MONEY, THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT A CORPORATION, IT RUNS ON OUR MONEY!!!! THE GOP WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY BELIEVE THESES STORMS, FLOODS, EARTHQUAKES AND FIRES ARE PROPHESY!!! VOTE THEM OUT BEFORE THEY DESTROY US ALL!!

Two friends I've known since they were little girls unfriended me, accusing me of being heartless and sick!! LMAO! Heartless because I won't give the GOP a pass? Because they can't take the heat, can't stand me calling out their precious republican party for the evil pricks they are? Oh well good riddance, enjoy your stupid and hateful GOP....

Of course we all feel just terrible about the destruction caused by that monster tornado, thankfully the death toll was not larger! But the destruction by Sandy was just as horrific and with even more death and destruction, yet the GOP keep their heads buried up their asses, they will continue fighting aid until the people rise up and fight back! That money is OURS, not the GOP's!!

Go to any website, blog or facebook group written and commented on by Religious Righties and you will see why the GOP doesn't care about this country, our people, our environment, or our future! They believe we have no future, we are just in limbo waiting for the return of Jesus to sweep up the Godly ones, the SAVED ones, so fuck the evil ones and the country, they are waiting on their Lord to set up a new world for the "born againers"...sigh....

Nothing is gonna get done in this country, like bridge and road repair, until we get a Dem super majority in Congress.  Here's the latest bridge collapse, in Washington,  http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/24/us/washington-bridge-collapse/index.html

.President Obama must do all he can legislatively to get infrastructure spending passed, bridges are collapsing, people are driving on crumbling highways, mass transit is a national disgrace!! Spending is at record lows, the deficit is shrinking,  this is the time to spend on infrastructure and put men and women to work! If the GOP doesn't want to help then vote them out!!                        

                                  2014 people, it'll be here before you know it!!

President Obama shows the world why he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize...

Republicans found much to criticize in this historic speech ...which means it was a great speech!

Fuckin' GOPers....

They are trying to get Americans to believe they are compassionate, they care about babies, seniors, the poor, and minorities, but it's too little too late oh hateful ones...Hahahahahahah!

Seriously??

Televangelist Pat Robertson has sent out a warning to his sheeple, BEWARE of scamsters in religious garb quoting the Bible! Why? Because all they want is your money!  Like what you do Mr. Robertson every day on your 700 Club TV show? ROFLMAO!!!
 So, it's ok for PR to ask for money while quoting the Bible, but others are scamming the sheeple?  Is he afraid money will flow elsewhere hurting his profit margin? 

"During his Monday broadcast, the network had aired a segment about a couple who continued to donate money to CBN even after declaring bankruptcy and selling their house.
“They were faithful,” Robertson opined at the conclusion of the report. “Listen, there is no way you can out give God. You can’t do it. And that which is given to him will come back 30, 60 and 100 fold.”

If you give and give to the church, or to the greedy televangelist, til you have nothing more to give and are actually homeless and penniless, where is the 30, 60, 100 fold that was supposed to come back to you??  ...I know personally sheeple who go faithfully to church every week, give the required tithe, and then count their pennies the rest of the week so they can feed their children until the next check comes in. .....

The scammers ARE the churches, greed is the name of the game.  You'll see some of the poorest people are the most religious, in the most conservative states. Trust God, He will take care of your needs... this is where fear comes into play. Trust in the Lord with all your might, do not question, do not doubt, do not fear, for God will never let you down...as long as you are a tithing sheep of the Lord..

What would become of Pat Robertson's Empire if all the sheeple took his advice and stopped giving their hard earned money to his greedy, bloated 700 Club? He'd go the way of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.... That would be fun!

It's Racism.... but we already knew that

You've heard the saying "Not all Republicans are racist, but all racists are Republicans"...my opinions in this post are about the Racist Right, not about ALL Conservative Republicans. The Racist Right does not hate President Obama because of his policies, (their number one excuse) how then do they explain the same loathing for Michelle and their daughters? Come clean Racists, we know what you are...

What do I believe is the number one reason for the racism? FEAR! Fear our Black president would coddle Blacks, would use his presidency to move an agenda geared towards lifting Blacks from poverty which would give them power. Racists fear Blacks getting equal treatment, or godforbid, Blacks becoming superior to Whites! Blacks can't be equal in standing to Whitey, are you crazy? Barack Obama, "Savior in Chief", will make sure Blacks rise in power, becoming the superior race! of course he will...Just look at all the "free stuff" President Obama is tossing from planes flying over black neighborhoods! Did ya get your FREE cell phone?  hateful racists...

The Racists hate anything that fights oppression of Blacks, be it The Civil Rights Act or Affirmative Action. They hate welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing and health insurance, they point to Blacks as sole recipients of these government programs, RACISM!...The Racists fight tooth and nail to suppress Blacks, they pound and pound to keep them down, to keep them "below" them, one way most recently is voter suppression...gerrymandering, new voter ID laws, change times and places to vote, limiting access to the polls by the Racist Right backfired last year! Awesome turnout by Blacks and minorities in November is proof they will not cower to the racists!

There is no other way to explain this, but to call it what it is RACISM, scary, hateful, racism....

 From Secret Service Says The Number Of Threats Against The President Is Overwhelming:
President Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a day and is being protected by an increasingly over-stretched Secret Service. He is the most threatened President in history.
Since the President took office in 2008, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400% cent. Some threats to the President have been publicized, including the well known alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.
Most however, are kept under wraps because the Secret Service fears that revealing details of them would only increase the number of copycat attempts.

That's 43,830 death threats for his first four years alone.   But he, the most threatened president in history, still gets up each day to fight for us, all of us, even the fuckin' racists....

God Bless the President of the USA, Barack Obama, and his beautiful family....

Frauds, Crooks, Liars, and Hypocrites....

"We do not have a debt crisis RIGHT NOW, but we can see it coming" says Paul Ryan....So why is it you want to raise retirement age to 70 and raise Medicare eligibility to 70?? ....In other words, when Barack Obama's term is up the Right will have forgotten all about the looming debt crisis...that they made up..
