Citizens United vs FEC

Politically speaking I don't know shit about crap, or was it 'shit from crap'? Anyways, either way, it takes something big to crack the gates of my ignoramous kingdom, something blatant and not subtle... This recent Supreme Court ruling to remove limits on campaign spending is, like, bad right? Some egg-head at the Univ. of Wisconsin calculated that,

"The nation's four largest banks would have to allocate a mere one-tenth of one percent of their assets--$6 billion--to counter a campaign in which the whole of the U.S. labor movement spent all of its assets."

I'm counting on all fingers and toes here and the math looks bad... How can labor interests compete in a system where the corporate financial institutions have more buying power in wet fart than the unions have in their entire coffers?
We already know that politicians do exactly what their donors ask, so what becomes of our 'democracy' when those campaign contributions limits are waved entirely...? Geez, you don't need a liberal or conservative talking head to tell you this is not so good.

The real losers here? The teary-eyed folks who voted for our Democrat leaders with hopes of Hope in their dreams and 'Yes we Can' bumper stickers on their Toyota Pious-es. They really thought their interests would be represented by this new, blue majority and what do they have to show?

Enjoy Obama supporters, enjoy

Obama, in what is becoming a not so surprising example of his decision making, has nominated a truly reprehensible figure to lead the National Council of Intelligence, Chas Freeman.

Freeman, the former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia has, as it turns out, was paid (bribed) 1 million US dollars to further Saudi interests in Washington.  Thats bad sure, but all politicians are corrupt right?  Egoism goes with the job.  What really gets me about this asshole are his views about the Tiananmen Square Massacre back in the 1990s.  For those who don't remember, Tiananmen square was the sight of a massive student protest in China, a protest for democratic government reform, human rights, and openness.  The governments response was to slaughter nearly 3,000 peaceful students in an effort to save face.  Google "tank man" for the most powerful picture of the tragedy.

This asshole, Freeman, that our dear leader Obama has nominated went on record to state that the Chinese government's one unforgivable crime at during the event was that they did not violently crack down sooner and with greater vengeance upon the peaceful protesters.  Freeman believes in a political philosophy based on the Scottish philosopher Edmund Burke's writings which does not admit the existence of rebellion.  Freeman believes that organized protest against the reigning government in any nation must be suppressed, violently.  Supression of expression, dissent and dissatisfaction with the status-quo.  This is the man Obama has nominated to lead the cryptic NIC which strategizes and plans the long term defense of our nation.  

We reap what we sow I suppose; a nation brainwashed by emotions and dreams of 'hope' unable to pull its head out of its own ass.  Chas Freeman, an enemy of liberty and free expression should occupy no position in our government.  Obama sees things differently.
