Sheet For Brains

I wasn’t going to write about this, but alas I must.  First many GOP (Gang of Prevaricators) boneheads immediately jumped into defending Republican Majority Whip Steve (If You Are White, You’re Alright) Scalise after finding out he spoke at a White Supremacy meeting. You remember little Stevie claimed he didn’t know it was a Klan gathering, he thought it was a convention for sheet salesmen.

So everybody from John (Its My Party And I’ll Cry If I Want To) Boehner to Sarah (Half Assed Governor, Full Time Moron) Palin said what a great guy Steve was. Then this week Bill (America’s Biggest Bully) O’Reily had head Klan Butthead David (I’m Not A Racist, I Just Hate Black People) Duke on his TV show to blather on how he wasn’t a racist.

Anyway I found this article on Democrats Organizing for America.  I couldn't find who wrote it, but it says exactly what I think.

"I'm not a racist but..."
Sure you are. You just changed your clothes.

In 2015, racists with white hoods and swastikas- while they're still out there- are marginalized and shunned; relics of a bygone era. Today's modern racist wears a suit and a Tea Party hat and talks about "urban thugs' instead of ni**ers.

Instead of burning crosses in yards they cut funding for schools in poor neighborhoods and advocate mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients.
Instead of demanding separate drinking fountains they warn of immigrant children carrying Ebola and sent by Muslims to infect and destroy America.

They don't scream and curse at black children attending white schools any more- they just try to take away their school lunch and any chance for a college scholarship.
They don't make folks sit in the back of the bus, they just refuse to pay them a living wage and call that 'freedom' and 'liberty'.

They don't refuse to sit in the same restaurant as black people- they just wonder about the President's birth certificate, say that he 'doesn't have American values' and accuse him of flashing gang signs.

They don't keep black people as slaves any more... they just compare everything from health insurance to food stamps to slavery and remind us that after all slaves DID get free room and board.

They don't lynch them in the dark, they just cheer when the police shoot them down in broad daylight for 'resisting arrest' or 'making a threatening gesture' like holding a cell phone.

So please- keep your "I'm not a racist" excuses to yourself. You can dress yourself up any way you like- call yourself a "conservative Christian pro-life trickle-down flat-tax tough-love Republican" or whatever other disguise you choose, but a racist by any name has the same disgusting smell. It's the smell of hate and entitlement, and it gives you away every time.

Stay tuned for future adventures.

Time For Resolutions

Its New Years Eve so here is a quick review of 2014.
365 days
52 weeks
12 months.
Of course for your dog it was,
2555 days
364 weeks
84 months.

We are into the third week here in East Texas of Dish Network’s dropping Fox News from it’s channels and some withdrawal symptoms are starting to show up.  A number of people have reported having fleeting moments of compassion and empathy for their fellow man and others have been seen smiling in public.

One man exclaimed after seeing a picture of Texas Conressmoron Louie (I Really Am as Dumb as I Look) Gohmert in the paper, “What an idiot.” He was taken to a hospital for observation. A woman was un-friended from Facebook after she wrote that she was having second thoughts about voting for Gregg (Hell On Wheels) Abbott for Governor. 

Republican Majority Whip Steve (If Your White You’re Alright) Scalise who said on Monday that he didn’t remember making a speech to a white supremacy group a number of years ago, then on Tuesday said that he did remember making the speech but didn’t know they were a white supremacy group, said today that didn’t remember being a racist and that he didn’t know what one was. He said he voted against a national holiday for Dr. King because he thought they said B.B. King and he wasn’t a big blues fan.

Republican Congressmoron Michael (Boy Am I) Grimm has announced that he will resign from Congress.  He said that after much thought and prayer, plus the fact that he was found guilty of tax evasion, that he would slither back home and hope to not spend too much time in prison.




Stay tuned for future adventures.
