The GOP Hates America
The GOP hates America and because of it they treat it badly. They use it as their cash machine draining all the financial resources for their own predatory needs.
Romney is a perfect example of such predatory hatred. He made his fortune as a predator gutting American businesses of their assets and production potential, as well as their workforce, to write-off those losses, when he administrated Bain Capital, and then, moved those funds off-shore creating bond funds in the Cayman Islands. Then, with millions of dollars in profits from his predatory behavior, he invested offshore and deposited his winnings in Swiss bank accounts.
Now, that is a true American!! Millard, the-Willard-and-a-rat-by-any-other-name, Romney is an honorable Mormon, or is it moron. I am not sure.
On the campaign trail he rants about how Obama has not brought enough jobs back on-line in the country. Well, here are the facts: after an 8 million loss of jobs at the end of the Bush administration, under Obama there has been growth, although slow. In the last 29 consecutives months, there has been job growth in the manufacturing sector. All throughout 2010, there has been a steady growth in jobs. Under President Obama, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the economy has added nearly three million private sector jobs over 21 months of consecutive job growth.
The facts are that the GOP has done more than any other political force to ship jobs overseas. They have outsourced the biggest production lines to China. Steve Jobs once told Obama that he would never bring back the outsourced Apple jobs. The price differential for a Chinese made iPhone and a possible U.S. made iPhone would only be around $70.00, but what has happened in China is much more significant.
Steve Jobs told Obama that the entire supply-chain has left the U.S. and now exists in China. When Jobs was developing the first iPhone, the lens/screen was plastic and was easily scratched so he approached the U.S. company, Corning. They could not easily build a facility to make the lens in glass, so Apple went to China.
This one Chinese company had already begun construction of a glass cutting factory very close to the iPhone factory. This company had received operational capital to begin construction from the Chinese government. The Chinese government is the seed and fertilizer for the growth of the production plant. So, in just a matter of weeks, the glass cutting was being done in China.
Jobs also told Obama that the entire supply-chain of parts to make the iPhone was all in the same city, and for the most part, blocks from the Apple production line.
In the United States, the GOP, not unlike Romney and Bain Capital, gutted the supply-chain and end suppliers within the U.S. and outsourced it to China. This is why they hate America. They see more profits in the Communist supply-chain of China than in their own home country. And, the very nation the GOP would like to control. Sadly, they have no loyalty to this nation and have a history of destroying it. The GOP rant hatefully how government should get out of the way of the private sector and should stop using taxpayer dollars to create jobs, when, in fact, this is exactly what the Chinese government does. They invest billions upon billions of dollars in growing industry and infrastructure.
What the GOP hates, they love in China, which makes them very, very rich.
The GOP is a predatory organization with Romney leading the way. We have now heard the GOP’s chief Kool-Aid drinking African-American Florida representative-Allen West calling for Democrats to leave the country. How funny!! It is the GOP who have left the country for the good-‘ole Communist/capitalist China. This is the GOP’s corporate model, but they won’t admit it! This is why the GOP should be called the Grand-‘Ole-Psychopathic Party!!!
President Obama talks about bringing the jobs back. Nice pipe dream, but when the supply-chain lives in China, and our infrastructure has gone to crumbling because the Boehner/McConnell/Tea Party GOP has said “Fuck You” to America, the dream exists only on a pipe.
The Chinese exploit their workers and offer little to no protections, something even a non-union shop would grieve to the Labor Relations Board. Tell me that the American worker would work 12 hours per day for $70 per week and live in a dorm provided by the corporation, and I will tell you that the GOP said it was so. This sounds like the return of the Robber Baron era.
The GOP is made up of a bunch of psychopathic perverts wanting to have a nation of indentured workers this is why they so hate universal health care. With universal health care: private or public (Medicare for all), every worker would have mobility to leave a lower paying job for a higher one without losing health care for him/her and family. It would also allow people to start their own business without the fear of having no health care. This would raise all boats in this nation, but the GOP hates this idea. They want to control workers at any cost.
Romney believes in this philosophy, as well. He hates America in spite of what he says.
And now I come to the biggest Humpty Dumpty on the campaign trail. Mr. Fig Newton Ging-grinch himself!!!!
This guy is so delusional and filled with bizarre ideas that they ooze out of his pores like the sweating poisons that soak into his clothing after walking a flight of stairs!
He is the Star-Wars come back kid!! He is Reagan morphed into the evil discard. He says that after his second term as president, there will be a colony built on the surface of the Moon with Americans living there writing chronicles to be read on the comic pages of the Earth-based newspapers.
Such a project would likely end up costing several trillion dollars, no doubt, not by the private sector, but by the public sector. He says it would be a public-private partnership, but why would any corporation invest in a pipedream that might fail without the financial guarantee of the US taxpayers? Who would build the shuttles to transport the workers, and living modules to build a colony? Mr. Fig Newton does realize that it would have to be government.
Is this how Figgie would create a sustainable manufacturing society in the U.S. via the process of moving it to the Moon? Nothing like sucking on fantastical dreams coating a pipe. Nothing about how he would rebuild the nation’s infrastructure in order to rebuild a nation of railroads operating at a much higher speed in order to shuttle products from one market to another—rebuilding the nation’s supply-chain grid, along with the electrical grid.
This is why the GOP is delusional, and filled with insane psychopaths, who actually believe what they say. That is how dangerously sick they are.
I am not saying that President Obama is a saintly character. By no means!!! Obama is a jerk, too. He has continued many of LilboyBush’s fascist policies, but next to the totally insane idiots on the Reich, he looks perfectly sane. This demonstrates just how bad the State of the Union has gotten.

Occupy Oakland Arrests Total 300 After Volatile Day
For anyone to believe that the police did not start the fight is just drinking way too much Kool-Aid! The police get freaked out when there are 2000 pissed off people angry at the failed system. The police are NOT in control. The mayor has lost all control of them. It is very likely the police forced the violence in order to avoid a blockade of the convention center. As we already know, the police plant their own to activate violence.
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Dozens of police maintained a late-night guard around City Hall following daylong protests that resulted in 300 arrests. Occupy Oakland demonstrators broke into the historic building and burned a U.S. flag, as officers earlier fired tear gas to disperse people throwing rocks and tearing down fencing at a convention center.
Saturday's protests – the most turbulent since Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment in November – came just days after the group said it planned to use a vacant building as a social center and political hub and threatened to try to shut down the port, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.
An exasperated Mayor Jean Quan, who faced heavy criticism for the police action last fall, called on the Occupy movement to "stop using Oakland as its playground."
"People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop making excuses for this behavior," Quan said.
Protesters clashed with police throughout the day, at times throwing rocks, bottles and other objects at officers. And police responded by deploying smoke, tear gas and bean bag rounds, City Administrator Deanna Santanta said.
Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan said about 300 arrests were made.
"These demonstrators stated their intention was to provoke officers and engage in illegal activity and that's exactly what has occurred today," Santana said.
The group assembled outside City Hall late Saturday morning and marched through the streets, disrupting traffic as they threatened to take over the vacant Henry Kaiser Convention Center.
The protesters walked to the vacant convention center, where some started tearing down perimeter fencing and "destroying construction equipment" shortly before 3 p.m., police said.
Police said they issued a dispersal order and used smoke and tear gas after some protesters pelted them with bottles, rocks, burning flares and other objects.
The number of demonstrators swelled as the day wore on, with afternoon estimates ranging from about 1,000 to 2,000 people.
A majority of the arrests came after police took scores of protesters into custody as they marched through the city's downtown, with some entering a YMCA building, said Sgt. Jeff Thomason, a police spokesman.
Quan said that at one point, many protesters forced their way into City Hall, where they burned flags, broke an electrical box and damaged several art structures, including a recycled art exhibit created by children.
She blamed the destruction on a small "very radical, violent" splinter group within Occupy Oakland.
"This is not a situation where we had a 1,000 peaceful people and a few violent people. If you look at what's happening today in terms of destructing property, throwing at and charging the police, it's almost like they are begging for attention and hoping that the police will make an error."
Dozens of officers surrounded City Hall, while others swept the inside of the building looking for protesters who had broken into the building, then ran out of the building with American flags before officers arrived.
The protest group issued an email criticizing police, saying "Occupy Oakland's building occupation, an act of constitutionally protected civil disobedience was disrupted by a brutal police response today."
Michael Davis, 32, who is originally from Ohio and was in the Occupy movement in Cincinnati, said Saturday was a very hectic day that originally started off calm but escalated when police began using "flash bangs, tear gas, smoke grenades and bean bags."
"What could've been handled differently is the way the Oakland police came at us," Davis said. "We were peaceful."
City leaders joined Quan in criticizing the protesters.
"City Hall is closed for the weekend. There is no excuse for behavior we've witnessed this evening," City Council President Larry Reid said during a news briefing Saturday.
Oakland Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, echoed Reid's sentiments and said that what was going on amounts to "domestic terrorism."
The national Occupy Wall Street movement, which denounces corporate excess and economic inequality, began in New York City in the fall but has been largely dormant lately.
Oakland, New York and Los Angeles were among the cities with the largest and most vocal Occupy protests early on. The demonstrations ebbed after those cities used force to move out hundreds of demonstrators who had set up tent cities.
In Oakland, the police department received heavy criticism for using force to break up earlier protests. Quan was among the critics, but on Saturday, she seemed to have changed her tune.
"Our officers have been very measured," Quan said. "Were there some mistakes made? There may be. I would say the Oakland police and our allies, so far a small percentage of mistakes. "But quite frankly, a majority of protesters who were charging the police were clearly not being peaceful.
Earlier this month, a court-appointed monitor submitted a report to a federal judge that included "serious concerns" about the department's handling of the Occupy protests.
Jordan said late Saturday that he was in "close contact" with the federal monitor during the protests.
Quan added, "If the demonstrators think that because we are working more closely with the monitor now that we won't do what we have to do to uphold the law and try keep people safe in this city, they're wrong."
