I want the Top 10 back. So I decided to take it upon myself to do it.

I will try every week, but remember, I live 8000 miles away. Anyone that wants to nominate people for the list, PM me.

Welcome Back Edition


JOHN BOEHNER
Starting off the new attempt at the Top 10 is the most ineffective, pathetic excuse for a Speaker of the House in the history of FOREVER. . .John “Orange Vodka” Boehner. On a recent showing of Meet the Press, the Ohio tearduct was asked why this Congress, as of 7-7-13, passed just 15 bills that have been signed into law. Met with this fact, John-Boy responded in the oddest way possible:

Okay, let's examine this for thirty seconds. Congress isn't now not supposed to propose and pass laws, but repeal the laws we already have. Anyone with half a brain knows that this is a threat against the ACA that the gives the GOP strokes and heart attacks. But, okay, Orange Boy, let's look how many laws you repeal: ZERO!!! Like you! A complete zero! WORST. SPEAKER. EVER!



BUCKEYE FIREARMS FOUNDATION AND GEORGE ZIMMERMAN

Florida. Amazing, beautiful Florida. Come for the Stand Your Ground laws, enjoy blowing away unarmed black kids and stay for your exoneration. George Zimmerman has been acquitted, but he will not get the weapon used to kill an unarmed kid just yet. I know. Damn justice system. Don't worry: Here comes the Buckeye Firearms Foundation to the rescue:

$12,510 to pay for guns, bullets and protection equipment for poor, oppressed Georgie. So, no concern for the fact that he KILLED someone. . .let's give him a new gun and let him back on his HOA neighborhood watch. What makes this even more sick that there is yet (another) SYG shooting, this time in Louisiana. Welcome to the new United States. The new motto: “This land is my land, it is not your land. If you don't get off it, I'll blow your head off. Oops, I feel threatened. BLAM!”



MICHAEL BLOOMBERG

Mayor-for-Life, Michael Bloomberg of New York, has done a lot of stupid shit in his 10,000 years of being New York City's mayor. From destroying public schools to attempting to ban soda, Bloomy has a nice conservative idiot track record. Now, he continues is unconstitutional (as if that matters in today's America) “stop-and-frisk” policy by vetoing two bills that would limit and restrict this horrid policy. Naturally, he claims it will counter-productive in crime prevention. Never mind that the statistics show that it is ineffective and used primarily against poor and minority residents, it is needed. When Bloomy cares about the crimes happening on a certain street in Lower Manhattan, maybe then stop-and-frisk will be taken seriously. Until then, it's just an excuse to enforce the long held Americans law against “living while minority.”



LOUIE GOHMERT

Texas is our next stop on the insanity road trip, where nuttier than super chunky peanut butter Congressman Louie Gohmert proceeds to open his mouth and puts his foot in it. When Reps. Cohen of TN and Conyers of MI try to inject bills that will slow down traditionally racist states from bringing their slow-witted cousin Jim Crow back, Gohmert decided to talk about the idea in the most head scratching way:

Civil rights are now lizards? Lizards vote? Chickens too? What is he talking about? Seriously, I would like to see the world from his prospective, but I can't get my head up that far up my ass.



CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS

Okay, we are in complete fiscal meltdown. The stock market keeps going up, but stagflation has hit, unemployment is still very high, wages are depressed, but the upper 1% still get their (and my) pieces of pie and cake and laugh all the way to the bank.

We can thank Congressional Republicans for this mess by their supporting of Bush's Great Economic Toilet Flush, his practice of nation destroying in three countries (Iraq, Afghanistan and here) and their low of Koch Brothers money. Now it's 2013 and we are mired in a nasty Sequestration that is crippling everything. How much? According to Huffington Post:

Speaker Boehner, since we need to judge you on the laws you repeal, can we also judge you on how many jobs you and your party blocks from being created? You've repealed zero laws, but cost us 1.6 potential new jobs. WORST. SPEAKER. EVER!



NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS

Some of the most restrictive laws have come out of the South. Anti-sodomy laws (targeting homosexuals), anti-miscegenation laws and supporting the Mann Act (targeting blacks) and Jim Crow voting restrictions (targeting anyone not wealthy, white or male). Welcome to 2013 after the SCOTUS gutted the 1964 Voting Rights Act. . .

According to Brad Blog:

There are a long list of disgusting ideas that Pat McCrory will sign into law. Welcome to the new America. Voting was a right. . .but that civil privilege is now being curtailed. When I hear about the lack of elections here in China (where this ex-pat lives) and how most Americans look at them as oppressed by power, I laugh now. Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Indiana. . .now North Caroling is sliding down the reactionary craphole. At least the right people will vote from now on. And by right, I mean white Republicans.



PAULA DEEN

Aunt Jemima. She apparently not only had unfair pay scales based on race, used racist comments against minority employees, but also forced black employees to dress up as a racially insensitive stereotypes. I still don't know who this person is. . .but she sounds like the typical conservative asshat we all know that speaks like Archie Bunker, then claims she's not racist because her driver is black. And because Paula Deen is on the shitheap of history, time to move on to. . .



MARCO RUBIO

How do you stop the ACA, since the GOP has tried almost 80,000 times to overturn it (still waiting for all those laws to be repealed there, John Boy)? Marco Rubio thinks we should shut down the government, destroy the country and plunge the world into a depression in order to stop Americans from having access to cheaper medical care. Before you say, WTF, is this guy hi in crack? From the Miami CBS affiliate:

Luckily, a Republican Senator put him in his place. . .what? What the. . .? A Republican did that? Yes, Richard Burr of NC said:

Expect your boss Rush Limbaugh and your bank funder Koch Brothers to be on your phone on Monday.
2015 is going to be fun because the Republican primary is going to be bloody, destructive and filled with so much shit it will be like watching a train wreck of raw sewage on your TV. Won't it be fun to watch them all implode trying to convince the American public they are the most conservative?



JOHN PIKE

Who is John Pike? He's a police officer who loves pepper spray. He loves pepper spray so much he used it against sitting Occupy protestors at UC Davis while they posed no threat. Someone took a photo of this clown in a badge doing this and it led to lawsuits, a $1 million settlement and the resignation of the UCDPD Chief.
What does that have to do with John Pike now? Well, according to TPM:

So, his actions cause all of this and now he wants to the CA taxpayers to pay for his psychological discomfort because his feelings are hurt? Sounds right. After you get your money, Mr. Pike, you need to to a restaurant. Order yourself a waahburger, French Cries and a Whine-iken. Don't eat too fast, or you will choke and someone will need to dial Whine-1-1 and call the waahbulance.



MARSHA BLACKBURN

Michelle Bachmann is retiring (albeit under ethics and criminal probes), so we need to find a new “World's most batshit crazy Congressman.” Steve King, Louie Gohmert, Darrell Issa are all good. Let's look at Marsha Blackburn (R-Naturally) of Tennessee's 7th.

Apparently, certain things that use or consume energy will be part of a new energy plan. Well, Marsha hates that idea. So, she is committed to fighting Obama's war on. . .wait for it. . ceiling fans!

WTF? Be prepared for the newest GOP war on Obama's idea that people should get a good night's sleep. In some Republican district, a business that requires people to wakep early will be inconvenienced and it will turn into a partisan battle. Is it election day yet?

I will be on my honeymoon next week in Bangkok and Phuket. I will try to do this again next week, but understand if I can't.

Who didn't see this power grab coming? I saw it with the USA PATRIOT ACT

Remember after 9/11. We were all told to be vigilant, remember?

Our government had full support and were told to protect us from another terrorist attack. Does everyone remember?

So they passed and enacted the USA ENABLING (I mean USA PATRIOT) ACT and in the process, militarized the apparatus. But let's look at the results.

1: Truck drivers are now subjected to even more draconian and nit-picking laws over their freight. Any truck driver going through Banning, CA knows this. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are truck drivers?

2: Our Government spent money upon money on security apparatus. The police are now used mostly to harass and arrest people for misunderstandings, misconceptions and minor violations of law. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are Americans tweeting on twitter?

3: Our Government passed laws designed to street line criminal offenses. The police now arrest first and let the courts sort it out. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are students disrupting schools?

4: We are moving towards troops on the border. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are Mexicans and Canadians?

5: Our Government destroyed the 4th amendment with airport screenings. One person with a bomb in his shoe and now we all need to take off our shoes. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are people visiting their families on holidays?

6: Our Government destroyed the 6th amendment by working for military tribunals and indefinite detentions of people in Gitmo. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists have faced public justice?

7: Our government destroyed the 8th amendment by using drones to carry out death sentences for crimes against American citizens. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are made with these extralegal killings?

8: Our government destroyed the 1st amendment redress of grievances by this declared war on whistle blowers. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists exposed governmental wrong doing?

Now we have a wiretapping program our government does. We were told the USA PATRIOT Act was designed to protect us from terrorists. How many terrorists are Americans sending texts to each other, or using twitter, or posting on DU?

And you are all surprised by this? George Carlin said it best: "Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. You see all, sooner or later. Sooner or later, the people in this country are gonna realize the government does not give a fuck about them! The government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It simply does not give a fuck about you! It's interested in its own power. That's the only thing. Keeping it and expanding it wherever possible."

This NSA domestic spying is designed to keep people in check (Americans), designed to make people accept the new regimentation they want to impose (caste system) and designed to make the PIC and MIC wealthier (more equipment, more private prisons). You are surprised our list of Civil Privileges are getting smaller and smaller.

Give it time. Apples of Democracy are not eaten in one gulp. It is nibbled slowly over years until the apple is gone and all that's left is the worthless core of fascism.

Welcome to our new America. Choose your leaders. . .they will continue bad policies and work to undermine your privileges, only to brainwash people into accepting everything. . .no "rights," no "unions," draconian prison sentences for crimes, and monitoring at all times.

I was told once that, here in China, the plain clothes cops were more dangerous than the uniformed cops. Apparently, the spy you can't see because they are data mining and giving the authorities to use against people who dare to ask why.

Roy Coen, McCarthy, Hoover and Nixon are now laughing in their graves.

We are now the United States of Police, Surveillance and Prisons. Please check your pre 9/11 notions of civil liberties at the door and accept that things will only get worse.
