[News] Maturity By Eating Poop

A young child, like a baby, might try to eat poop, because it doesn't know any better.

You're not going to give a child like that a gun are you?  Are you going to let a child drive?

Now, I am pro individual Gun rights, and hope to educate my children on how to handle a fire arm early...but not if they eat poop.  In fact, if they're eating mud or dirt, that means they're probably not old enough to handle important responsibility.

Now, metaphorically, Germany used to eat poop.  In WWII, they pretty much happily slammed the stuff into their mouth like it was candy.  And then, after WWII, they grew up.

But the South?  The South is Peter Pan.  The South didn't just eat more poop after the civil war, it held out a plate Oliver Twist Style and said, "Please Sir, may I have some more?"

For a hundred years they ate poop with legalized lynchings and murder and terrorism.

Then, finally, FINALLY the Civil Rights movement happened.

Now, the south likes to pretend it doesn't eat poop any more.  But how big a battle was it to remove the confederate flag?  Why is the south trying to suppress voting rights?  Why is the South denying that it has a problem? It's like an alcoholic and an eater of poop all in one.

Self Governance requires a basic level of ethical understanding.  If you can't understand that owning people as property is wrong, you can't be a state.  If you can't understand that denying the vote to citizens is wrong, you can't be a state.

Germany learned from Nazism.

The South hasn't learned from Confedercyism.

Until they stop eating poop, I think we might need to suspend the constitution in Red States.

It's not like it really worth anything but toilet paper right now thanks to the Bush Patriot Act and the Obama Collaboration.

Let's stop eating poop or having adult conversations with people who think eating poop is OK.  It is not OK.

[News] We All Agree There is a Problem...BUT

For those living under a rock, or reading this 20 years from now (in whatever obscure archive or rubbish bin to which it might be relegated) the news have been awash with Snowden, a former NSA employee who has brought to light what we suspected all along....that they have been listening in to our all phone calls.  All of them.  Guilty or Innocent.  We are all made equal by the intrusion in our lives.

Unlike a lot of the frankly ridiculous things that have come up lately against the President, this has serious weight.  It started during Bush, but Obama consciously chose to continue it.  People believe it.  Snowden's proof is conclusive.  While there are potentially questionable elements of Snowden, we must remember what happened to Manning and Assange....so any charges that come out against him have a very high burden of proof.

Regardless of the messenger, the message is quite alarming.  Many, if not most, on the left and the right who aren't asleep, finally agree that this is unacceptable, and that something must be done.

Right...so...alone, those on the right and left are not going to make a difference.  We need to join forces.  And the conservatives need to be the one to initiate action.

Ever hear the phrase 'only Nixon could go to China?'  It came from the view that a liberal or democratic president could not go to China without being painted as a 'weak commie loving liberal' thanks to the images painted on democrats by the GOP during the cold war.  Mainly thanks to McCarthy.  Thanks McCarthy.

Now a democratic president has to act tough.  Probably some of the reason Obama is going to war in Syria...he can't appear weak.  Democrats must not appear weak.

When Republicans begin attacking the president as incompotent, and that government can't work....and everything else that liberals do...and lie...and attack over and over again, no democrat who has any credibility can be seen working with dirty disgusting conservatives.  They can initiate bills, but finding bipartisian support is not a priority.  Republicans need to quit talking about Benghazi and Obamacare and the lies of the IRS "scandal" and focus on what is really important....

Like an intelligence community and the DHS and TSA gone frankenstein.  THEY are the real threat to our liberties....and yet....

And yet they are incapable of doing this.  Republicans not only can't apologize, they can't work and reach out to democrats for the good of the country.  Republicans have attacked Democrats to the point that democrats can't do the same because to give an inch to insane Republicans is to allow them to put more insane things like birth control or the like.

I'm sure conservatives don't see it that way.  They expect democrats to just do what they want.

It isn't going to happen.  Democrats are cowardly, but they're not cowardly against the democrat in charge...they won't revolt against Obama in a case like this.
