Last week’s twin decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court, one upholding Obamacare by a 6-3 majority and the other upholding gay marriage (the right for gays to marry in all 50 states) by a 5-4 majority have to be seen as a major body blow to the Republican Party. While freeing them of the obligation to campaign on those issues, overall they come out as the real losers and the upswing is definitely in favor of the Democratic Party in next year’s presidential election.

.

The GOP can’t pander to their base with these two vote-getting issues but instead will have to fall back on their free-market – small government message. Even the anti-immigration stance taken by the Republican establishment, while popular with older white GOP voters, no longer appears to retain the likelihood of ever being sanctioned by the Supreme Court in light of the dramatic rulings on Obamacare and Gay Marriage.

.

The GOP is basically reduced to “God” and “Guns” for presidential campaign rhetoric. Those two issues will generate steam among the party faithful no doubt but without Obamacare and Gay Marriage the engine driving the GOP vote turn-out for 2016 will be hampered markedly and any real odds of the GOP winning back the White House have now been sizable diminished.

.

God and guns and ISIS constitute the GOP message in 2016. As far as the one other galvanizing issue for the GOP, abortion, the Supreme Court today upheld a stay of the new Texas abortion law that would shut down all but a handful of abortion clinics in Texas in a 5-4 decision. While the Supreme Court has put in place more restrictions on abortion over the last few years, an outright repudiation of Roe v. Wade is becoming less and less likely.

.

So, the most likely GOP campaign wedge issue in 2016 will involve foreign policy – but with more than 13 announced Republican presidential candidates running in 2016 their message on that issue runs the risk of being watered down or overly convoluted.

.

In a nut shell the GOP is a fractured party with a fractured message. They are in disarray and will lose big in 2016! Ole!

The NRA, which is only a small handful of people, runs this country from top to bottom. They control Congress like a puppet-master. Violence runs rampant throughout this nation with the unbridled distribution and sanction of hand guns and fire arms of all manner, especially high-powered military assault rifles!

.

Wayne La Pierre ought to have his “Pierre” detached from his carcass! We live in a Banana Republic. Those so-called Banana Republics in South America actually have far fewer murders than here in America – the land of “American Exceptionalism”.

.

I think it’s going to take a “Million Women” March on our nation’s capital to ever stem the flow of this insidious death-producing madness!

.

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose! We have nothing to lose but our INSANITY!

.

Come on Americans, Cowboy-Up —- let’s push back and strangle the NRA in its crib!

.

Hell, the game is changing right in front of our very eyes – for today – Monday, June 22, 2015 – the Republican Governor of South Carolina – Nikki Haley – succumbed to the pressure to take down the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State House – and – while appearing before the cameras with a diverse group of South Carolina lawmakers – agreed to do JUST THAT!

.

Next Stop – The NRA!

Dylann Roof a A 21-year-old South Carolinian — admits he did it, two law enforcement officials said — shooting and killing nine people he’d sat with for Bible study at a historically black church (Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church) in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday night this week.

.

I’m sorry, but there’s just something about WHITE PEOPLE & GUNS That Is A Most Dangerous Cocktail For Utter Violence & Mayhem!

.

We Do Not Live In A Well-Regulated Society. We Live In A Money Talks, Bullshit Walks Society.

.

We Don’t Live In A Truly Free Society, Rather We Live In A Free-For-All Society.  There’s A Big Fucking Difference!

.

Your Right To Bear Arms Ends With My Right To Ambulate Through This Life Unimpeded By Completely Unnecessary Appendages/Accoutrements — i.e., Bullet Firing Mechanisms, GUNS!

.

Say What You Will About The 2nd Amendment But The Framers Of The Constitution Never SERIOUSLY — & The Emphasis Is On SERIOUSLY —- Considered The Right To Bear Arms As An “Individual” Thing —- But A Societal Thing, i.e., MILITIA —- & A Well-Regulated One At That!

.

2nd Amendmenters — Shut The Fuck Up & Just Know That Your Day Is Coming & Don’t Even Try To Push Back!

.

You’ll Be Ostracized As The Social Pariah That You Are & Over Time Your Social Standing & Views Will Become Much More Anathema To The Average American & Will More & More Appear Incompatible With What A Truly Normal, Well-Regulated, Civilized Human Society Demands.

.

You Can Look Around All Over The World And See That The Amount Of Murders & Fatalities Due To Guns Is A FRACTION Of What It Is In This Country.  The Only Freedom That Is At Issue Here Is The Freedom To Randomly & Recklessly Kill One’s Fellow Citizen.

With The Entrance Of Donald Trump As A Presidential Candidate On Tuesday – June 16th – The GOP Has Officially Gone “Ga-Ga”!

.

Trump made his announcement at the lavish Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York yesterday, laying out a vision to match his incoming campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” (Wow, What A “Ground Breaking” Slogan! — How About — “Make America Trump, Again” — Ha-Ha! — Or Better, Yet — “Things Go Trump In The Night — Yuk-Yuk-Yuk!!)

.

Trump symbolizes, better than any other individual, the GOP’s truly dramatic makeover during the last 30-35 years. Going From Gerald Ford In The 1970’s To Circus Clown In The 21st Century!

.

His Hair Alone Should Be Cause For Great Concern And When He Starts To Open His Mouth And Utter His Social Prescriptions For This Nation’s Ills, It’s Time To Call “911”!

 .

If There Was Ever A Doubt As To Whether The GOP Would Maintain Their Extreme Hard Right Stance All The Way Up To Their Nominating Convention Next Summer, The Entrance Of Donald Trump Has Extinguished Any Other Viable Possibility!

 .

Trump Could “Trump” All Of The Other Candidates With His Sheer Command Of Built-In Media Exposure & A Life-Time Of Business Connections!

.

His Buffoonery Will Sink The Entire Cast Of 2016 GOP Candidates Into Such Depths Of Imbecility That Jeb Bush Himself Will Need A Political Exorcism At Some Point Next Summer!

.

Trump Could Very Well Just Stay In New York & Bloviate From Trump Towers & Still Cast A Huge Shadow Over The 2016 GOP Presidential Sweepstakes! He Might Even Spin Out Another “Show” To Go Alongside His Current Reality One — “The Apprentice”.

.

The “Donald” Quacks Like A Duck, Looks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, Because In Reality He Is A Fucking Duck! Just Like The Entire Current Generation Of GOPers!

.

The Entire Apparatus Of The GOP Are Just A Bunch Of Quack-Quacks!

 

11-8-16!

THE 2016 GOP NOMINATION IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SOPHOMORIC “FOOD FIGHT”!

.

OVER A DOZEN GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WILL BE INUNDATING THE AIRWAVES BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE OF 2016!

.

THE GOP BRAND IS IN TATTERS – IT WILL BE BEYOND REPAIR BY NEXT SUMMER!

.

ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS THEIR FUCKING MONEY, MENDACITY AND SHAMELESSNESS.

.

RICK SANTORUM AND MIKE HUCKABEE SHOULD BE MENTALLY INSTITUTIONALIZED.  TED CRUZ IS CLOSE BEHIND.

.

THE ONLY SANE ONE OF THE BUNCH IS JEB BUSH AND HE’S NOTHING MORE THAN A RECYCLED “LEFT-OVER” FROM THE 20TH CENTURY!

.

THE GOP PARTY HAS BEEN VAMPIRIZED!  ALL OF THE BLOOD HAS BEEN SUCKED OUT OF THE LEFT-BEHIND HUSK OF WHAT WAS ONCE A NATIONAL PARTY.  IT IS NOW A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY AND SUBSTANCE AND STYLE!

.

SHELDON ADELSON – THE LAS VEGAS BILLIONAIRE/CASINO OWNER IS REPUTEDLY LINKING UP WITH THE INFAMOUS KOCH BROTHERS (CHARLES & DAVID) TO ASSEMBLE A GARGANTUAN POLITICAL SLUSH FUND FOR GOP CANDIDATES IN 2016.  

.

THEIR ONLY HOPE IS TO MAKE THE POLITICAL PROCESS (I.E., VOTING) SO “UNPALATABLE” FOR ALL CONCERNED — THAT THE TURNOUT IN NOVEMBER 2016 WILL BE SO LOW THAT THE LARGEST BLOCK OF VOTERS WILL BE THE HARD, HARD, HARD-CORE GOP VOTERS —> THE SCARED OLD WHITE PEOPLE IN THE SUBURBS AND SMALL COUNTRY TOWNS —> WHO WILL TURN OUT IN SUFFICIENT NUMBERSE TO ROLL THE ROCK OF PROGRESS BACK TO THE 19TH CENTURY – OR EARLIER! 

.

FUCK THE GOP!  FUCK THEIR MONEY!  FUCK THEIR MENDACITY!  FUCK THEIR JADEDNESS!

.

THE FREE MARKET IS A THING OF THE PAST!   THE “FAIR” MARKET IS THE REAL WAY FORWARD!

.

THE 1% WILL NOT BE REWARDED IN NOVEMBER-2016!  THEY WILL BE PUT ON THE RUN!

.

THERE’S SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH OF THE SCARED, OLD WHITE PEOPLE TO COUNTER THE EVER-INCREASING GROWTH OF THE “OTHERS” —–> THE “OTHER” VOTERS —-> THE MINORITY VOTE, THE YOUNG VOTE, THE WOMAN VOTE, THE SMALL BUSINESS/ENTREPRENURIAL TYPES, THE SILICON VALLEY FOLK, A GOOD CHUNK OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY GENERATION, THE LBGT SEGMENT AND THE TRUE INDEPENDENTS – THE KIND WHO SIMPLY CAN’T STAND THE GOP AS IT IS PRESENTLY CONSTITUTED!

.

SO, HILLARY, BEAT THE GOP FROM PILLAR TO POST AND RACK UP WHAT COULD BE THE LARGEST ELECTORAL VICTORY MARGIN IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY ON NOVEMBER 8, 2016!  AFTER ALL, YOU’RE ALL ABOUT FIGHTING FOR THE “AVERAGE” JOE, NOT “JOE-THE-PLUMBER“!  FUCK JOE THE PLUMBER & HIS BUTT-CRACK.  HE REPRESENTED NO ONE BUT MENDACITY, WHICH, AFTER ALL, GOES TO THE VERY HEART OF THE GOP!

 .

MITT ROMNEY, YOU THOUGHT YOU WENT THROUGH A “BEAT-DOWN”.  WOW!  JEB BUSH, OR WHOEVER THE GOP CANDIDATE TURNS OUT TO BE —-> BE PREPARED TO BE THE NEXT ALF LANDON OR BARRY GOLDWATER BIG-TIME GOP LOSER!

.

THE LOG-JAM/GRIDLOCK IN WASHINGTON WILL BE BROKEN UP JUST ENOUGH THAT THE PASSAGE OF SOME MODERATE AND/OR PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO GRADUALLY REINSTATE SANITY OVER THIS COUNTRY AND THE GOP WILL CONTINUE TO STEADILY DISSOLVE INTO A FULL-BLOWN IMPOTENT, IRRELEVANT SIDE SHOW!

JEB BUSH – THE GUY WHO NEVER CAME IN FROM THE COLD – HE’S TOAST!

 

MI6 – THE “FIRM” – NOTHING, CAN BRING THIS GUY BACK INTO “HOME BASE”.

 

HIS ONLY “HOME BASE” IS KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE.

 

LIKE THAT OLD BEATLES SONG:  “HE’S A REAL NOWHERE MAN”

 

 

Jeb’s a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans for NOBODY

 

Jeb doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like THE GOP?

 

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man, the GOP is definitely NOT @ your command

 

Jeb’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man, can you see BEYOND YOUR 9% APPROVAL RATING?

 

Nowhere Man, don’t worry
Take your time, don’t hurry
Leave it all ’til somebody else (LIKE POPPY & FRIENDS – OR “MITT”) lends you a hand

 

Jeb doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like THE FUCKING GOP?

 

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man, the GOP WILL NEVER, EVER BE YOURS TO COMMAND!

 

Jeb’s a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

[BELOW IS A “CONDENSED” VERSION OF FDR’S SPEECH ON OCT. 31, 1936 – MADISON SQUARE GARDEN – NEW YORK CITY]

Senator Wagner, Governor Lehman, ladies and gentlemen:

.

On the eve of a national election, it is well for us to stop for a moment and analyze calmly and without prejudice the effect on our Nation of a victory by either of the major political parties.

.

The problem of the electorate is far deeper, far more vital than the continuance in the Presidency of any individual. For the greater issue goes beyond units of humanity—it goes to humanity itself.

.

In 1932 the issue was the restoration of American democracy; and the American people were in a mood to win. They did win. In 1936 the issue is the preservation of their victory. Again they are in a mood to win. Again they will win.

.

More than four years ago in accepting the Democratic nomination in Chicago, I said: “Give me your help not to win votes alone, but to win in this crusade to restore America to its own people.”

.

The banners of that crusade still fly in the van of a Nation that is on the march.

.

It is needless to repeat the details of the program which this Administration has been hammering out on the anvils of experience. No amount of misrepresentation or statistical contortion can conceal or blur or smear that record. Neither the attacks of unscrupulous enemies nor the exaggerations of over-zealous friends will serve to mislead the American people.

.

What was our hope in 1932? Above all other things the American people wanted peace. They wanted peace of mind instead of gnawing fear.

.

First, they sought escape from the personal terror which had stalked them for three years. They wanted the peace that comes from security in their homes: safety for their savings, permanence in their jobs, a fair profit from their enterprise.

.

Tonight I call the roll—the roll of honor of those who stood with us in 1932 and still stand with us today.

.

Written on it are the names of millions who never had a chance—men at starvation wages, women in sweatshops, children at looms.

.

Written on it are the names of those who despaired, young men and young women for whom opportunity had become a will-o’-the-wisp.

.

Written on it are the names of farmers whose acres yielded only bitterness, business men whose books were portents of disaster, home owners who were faced with eviction, frugal citizens whose savings were insecure.

.

For twelve years this Nation was afflicted with hear-nothing, see-nothing, do-nothing Government. The Nation looked to Government but the Government looked away. Nine mocking years with the golden calf and three long years of the scourge! Nine crazy years at the ticker and three long years in the breadlines! Nine mad years of mirage and three long years of despair! Powerful influences strive today to restore that kind of government with its doctrine that that Government is best which is most indifferent.

.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

.

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

.

Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.

.

We have only just begun to fight.

.

All this—all these objectives—spell peace at home. All our actions, all our ideals, spell also peace with other nations.

.

Today there is war and rumor of war. We want none of it. But while we guard our shores against threats of war, we will continue to remove the causes of unrest and antagonism at home which might make our people easier victims to those for whom foreign war is profitable. You know well that those who stand to profit by war are not on our side in this campaign.

.

“Peace on earth, good will toward men”—democracy must cling to that message. For it is my deep conviction that democracy cannot live without that true religion which gives a nation a sense of justice and of moral purpose. Above our political forums, above our market places stand the altars of our faith—altars on which burn the fires of devotion that maintain all that is best in us and all that is best in our Nation.

.

We have need of that devotion today. It is that which makes it possible for government to persuade those who are mentally prepared to fight each other to go on instead, to work for and to sacrifice for each other. That is why we need to say with the Prophet: “What doth the Lord require of thee—but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.” That is why the recovery we seek, the recovery we are winning, is more than economic. In it are included justice and love and humility, not for ourselves as individuals alone, but for our Nation.

.

That is the road to peace.
