Government Shutdown and Threats Over Debt Limit Has Already Cost the US Big Money--Thanks, Republicans
The US is already facing increased interest rates based solely on the perceived threat of default. This is how much the Republican Party cares for us. Posturing and games, and hurting our future. I guess since they don't have a middle eastern nation to invade, they are going for our rights.

Government Shutdown Issues Are Easily Resolved But One Side is More Interested in Grandstanding for Dollars. Hint: See how they stole their power from the American People Via Link Below.
Video above is clipped to provide the most pertinent information on this topic out of an almost13 minute segment. Below is the explanation on why the GOP is playing these nazi-like games. The complete vido is Here.
But why would the GOP plays such games on the American people?
In truth they don't fear us because they Gerrymandered their power in the US House of Representatives. Their base of power in the US government is illegal in the first place.
See report from January 2013 REDMAP Memo Admits Gerrymandering To Thank For Congressional Election Success
Politically savvy folks know this, but the same deep pockets that control the Republican-TeaParty politicians control the news media. Some have come out of the shadows (like Doug Manchester who bought the San Diego Union Tribune and the second largest paper in the county, the North County Times -- as a case I know because its somewhat local but the pattern is repeated throughout the nation) and bought a number of papers all on their own.
Also remember that a few months ago the Koch Brothers David and Charles were set on buying the Tribune Company -in collaboration with Manchester mentioned above- a company that owns some of the biggest most politically respected newspapers in the nation. Thank goodness for the New York Times, right? No. It's owned by the richest man in the world, also an oil man, Carlos Slim who has allowed his nation, Mexico, to suffer in great misery while he plays games in our national politics. And now the Washington Post has just been bought by another billionaire described as a Libertarian. One thing that Libertarians have been known for in the past decades (well I'll ignore the racism) is getting big tax cuts for the wealthy passed through Congress.
That makes them less susceptible to paying for wars, and suddenly wars are not so bad anymore to the press which is more and more owned by Libertarians. Funny how few rich Libertarians want their own children to go fight and possibly die or possibly be permanently maimed in one though.
So we have Libertarian owners of our news media paving the way for more wars that they don't pay for and that their children are not put into risk in. So what do they fear from a Gerrymandered House?
They can pay for their own gold plated health care and have learned to ignore the problems of the rest of us.
The only thing missing is the cigarette holder and top hat worn out into the midday sun to show people exactly who they are.

AIG Official Feels Like He's Getting Lynched?
Really, he's so sure he knows what being lynched is like? He could ask Trayvon Martin and thousands of others who were actually lynched because they made someone feel uncomfortable. But I doubt that he actually knows what it feels like to get lynched. Representative Elijah Cummings helps Martin Bashir sort it out.

Why Do Republicans Want to Kill Zoey and Other Children Like Her?
Without Obamacare Zoey would be at her lifetime cap and her parents unable to afford the continuing care she needs to stay alive.
Why do the anti Obamacare Republicans hate children?
Sure they say there are other ways to deal with this, but all we've seen from the GOP is "sweep all the poor people under the rug" for an alternative. Once the poor or the laid off die or those with extraordinary need die, then the problem is suddenly solved and instantly forgotten again while they plan their next big giveaway of government money to fat cats and big business.

GOP Food Stamp Cut Puts Military Families in its Crosshairs
Really!
One major group that will be harmed by SNAP reductions are families of military personnel.
Meanwhile GOP House members have ordered up meals that cost up to $166 for one person on the public tab.
Tell those douche bags to stop taking from our military and other poor families or start looking for a job they can do right starting in 2015.

Wayne La Pierre Reacts to Navy Yard Shooting With Call For Police State
Good Ol' Wayne La Pierre. He can be counted on to call for a police state after every big mass shooting.
The NRA spokesman advised last year that Americans pay for more armed police and teachers with guns in schools and now arming service members while they are at base, and btw getting more civilians armed with high powered guns to protect themselves from the high power weapons of the "police state". What could possibly go wrong?
For one, lets take arming all service members on base.
Nidal Hassen, Christopher Dorner, and Aaron Alexis were all members of the military. Does La Pierre want the next military member to be carrying around a firearm the first day they think that maybe killing people will clear their heads?
His alternative scenario is hundred of millions more a year for specifically arming and training paid security guards at bases (which is what will be needed if we let the Dorners and the Hassens and the Alexis types carry around their guns on base all the time).
And for constant psychological testing to make sure our service members aren't going to kill us or each other. Maybe the NRA will shop itself out for supplying those psyches to do the testing.
In fact, most Americans understand that is nuts. But the NRA, which is working for the gun manufacturers, has joined with the Tea Party, a tool created by fat cats like the Koch brothers, and the racists to make a wider movement that pulls in money from the fat cats to protect and enrich all of them off the backs of the majority of Americans, by taking away"entitlements" like Social Security (that working people actually save up themselves but Republicans pretend is a kind of government charity).

Video: Colorado Recall Election Had Big Flaws, but the NRA Uses It For Propaganda and Fundraising
First problem was that the recall elections were a waste of money for the state. The Senate President John Morse was termed out after next year and the other Democratic State Senator was up for re-election next year.
In addition, the two successful recalls did not change the balance of power between the parties in the State Senate nor between the pros and cons of gun control, and it was known before the election that it would not.
Another immense problem present was that, thanks to Citizens United, the NRA was able to spend $360,000 dollars on these two races. During regular elections that kind of money has to be spread around to about 468-9 US Congressional races, and many state legislative contests as well as initiatives, and each race must make do with a few thousand dollars of NRA favor.
Thirdly, a problem developed getting mail-in ballots out to voters in the two districts in a state that tends to favor using mail-in ballots.
The result was that only 11% of the voters in the districts voted. (If I remember Morse's words correctly).
No matter how the problem developed, it obviously wasn't a fair contest.
Still Morse only lost by about 1% and his co-defendant by less than 10%
Also, one out-of-district Republican publicly voted in the district based on a weekly rental he'd recently picked up though his children were still living and going to school in another district. This one man was publicized, and no-one knows how many copy-cat voters he inspired or were already convinced to go vote illegally by the NRA and did so. Actually mail in ballots can be checked later, but poll cast ballots are separated from the voters' credentials, making the lack of mail-in ballots creepier still.
But. of course, there's nothing to see here Hans, just Democracy as usual. No nothing is burning. Certainly not a Reichstag in Colorado.
All hail the NRA!
Remember when you go to pay your state tax bill next, Rocky Mountain Folk, that the NRA forced the state to spend millions on an election that changed nothing except to teach state legislators to bend to their will. The NRA can use this to get more Big Money from right wing sources, but you have to pay for
their special election.

Video: GOP Congressionals Were Invited to 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington but Refused to Attend
Most telling was Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina whose excuse was that he was going to be in South Carolina at that time.
Distance Charleston to DC (according to Google Earth) 531 miles. Distance Passenger jets fly in an hour (According to ChaCha.com) 587 mph. Yes, of course, there's check in, baggage, security gates, etc. and then booking a room in DC. Oh Wait! Tim Scott is a US Senator who should have a regular place all settled so he can attend the Senate, right?
Tim Scott would be the currently most important symbol of how far we've come besides the President himself. But even he had to play by the GOP rules.

Proven: There is Secret Database of Gunowners! Guess Who Owns It. Video, With Explanation
All this time Wayne La Pierre has been warning about a secret database being built to be used to harm your and your family's life or lifestyle, and he was right! He knew, because his group owns that data base!
The NRA uses the list, possibly with your name on it, to convince corrupt politicians that you are a mindless right wing beast that will vote for those who cut gun control (because you crave going on TV to talked about you murdered innocent loved ones, maybe?), give massive tax cuts to the Romney-Koch Brother class, and cut assistance to the poor and the -- already paid for by each working person through tax -- Social Security (proof here that you have paid for up to 40 years full income Social Security by retirement), even though those government actions would actually cost middle and low income people their jobs rather than boosting the economy.
There is apparently no way to get off the NRA list of gun owners.
If you won't or can't view the video, what else you need to know is:
The NRA not only collects the names, etc of their own members (at $30 a year, membership is less membership than a magazine subscription and a way to sell your personal info to advertisers and political groups) but gun safety classes from NRA verified instructors often required by state governments -- attendance at guns shows, and, I'm guessing, regular gun stores.
There may be no way to get your name off the data base.
The video above explains.
An important point is that what a group knows about your private life can be used to lie to you in without rebuttal by opponents or verification from the media.
Now it becomes clear why so many think Obama is a fascist coming to take their guns, a barrage of propaganda from the NRA and right wing political groups to cover the fact that they have the secret list of gun owners which they use to sell to interest groups and to influence government themselves.

The Truth About Food Stamps
Typical right wing BS starts this video,.. The Congressman finds a father who works hard for a living and wife that isn't fat because she mixes in just enough hamburger or even beans to the spaghetti and cheap sauce to keep the family healthy and then he uses that example to actually claim that the couple is committing food stamp fraud because they can get a decent exercise outfit out of the thrift store at 1/10th of a discount store). (but don't worry because he's probably lying anyway as Reagan once did over the "young buck buying steak" and "welfare queens" he often talked about. (We forgive the former president because of his Alzheimer's problems that began to affect his thinking decades before his death.)
Funny how the GOP is starting this jihad against the poor, right after they forced millions of women into childbirth of mouths they can't feed, since their creepy anti-abortion laws have made it nearly impossible, especially for working class and poor women to get an abortion.
Of course they want to change the subject so they can win the next election, even though they have harmed women, men, and their families with their anti-woman jihad but all they have to do is get the white men and women to blame minorities and the young and they surge back to more power in 2014! (plus they have their installed state wide Gerrymandering gambits, but they need an excuse for winning n inordinate number of races). Notice the front row of the Congressman's audience is all white women. Women of all types have been particularly hard hit by repeated attacks by the Republican party on what used to be called the middle class, but is increasingly the working class as GOP policies took money from the middle class (by destroying unions, refusing to raise the minimum wage, throwing out massive tax cuts for fat cats who then buy up and install an increasingly affluent white male Congress and state legislatures and expand proven Gerrymandering to keep them that way). Then they stand up there pretending that they are working class too though the US gives each US Congressman $170,000 per year or more (I haven't kept up with the boosts for inflation) for about less than 30 weeks of work, and reimburses for all their necessary travel to attend to their legislative duties in DC and at home, and get a stipend they can use for DC residence though that money isn't dependent on how or where they live which is why some live in their offices.
( Former Rep Ron Paul was allegedly accused by a former supporter of double dipping by getting money from a group the advocated for him and the US Treasury-- which the former Congressman says was a mistake and fixed -- I don't mean to claim Congressman Paul acted unethically, but with all the whining by Congress about how their salaries have to cover travel, and a DC address, I had thought the folks needed that $170+k. )
See Salaries and Benefits of U.S. Congress Members for up to date information.
At least now the GOP can't be so obvious about the race of aid recipients. We were too quiet in the 80s, because we didn't have the Internet to talk back to the Mainstream news that wouldn't fight the battle for truth and risk their big salaries. Now at least they have to let their racist followers decide in their own mind that aid recipients are of dark skin, and show one white surfer on food stamps to imply there is a massive scamming of the program.
What is actually creepy, is that more and more farms are owned by mega corporations, and farm subsidies have been shown to promote scamming by farmers big and small with the plowing of unusable land to get more money (a gambit I bet is used more by corporations than family based farm groups). but farm subsidies have to be increased while GOP candidates get as close to the Strapping Young Buck and Welfare Queen crap fed to ailing President Reagan and from him to the public in the 80s and plot to take away food stamps from struggling families.

John Kasich and Republicans Stab Ohio in the Back Again. After Ohio Voters Reject Restrictions on Abortion Rights
You have to be amazed at GOP gall. The people flat out reject some measure but their fat cat buddies want it so the put it into law by a vote in their legislature. Or by Government decree. Whatever it takes.
I guess those people who've always wanted to live in a dictatorship or a Soviet style nation, without the guaranteed pay and health care should be very pleased by the Gerrymandered power in Republican dominated states.

Benghazi Fever Responsible for Latest Embassy Closings
Images of 2012 Attack on Benghazi, Libya Consulate from Aug 2013 New Yorker
Esteemed Middle East Analyst Juan Cole says GOP over-reaction after the Benghazi Attacks led to the closings this month in the Middle East which has harmed the image of the United States in the world.
the GOP is inadvertently pushing the US into a posture of dangerous diplomatic weakness. This weakness is clear in the unprecedented closing of 21 US embassies in the Middle East this weekend because of a vague terrorist threat apparently emanating from “al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,” based in Yemen. The Obama administration most likely took this weird step to insulate itself from any further witch hunts of the sort the Republicans launched over the tragic attack on a CIA safe house doubling as a US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2011.(I would never attempt to correct Mr. Cole a well recognized expert on the Middle East and events there, but my memory and a Google search agrees the attack took place in 2012. That must not diminish what he has said. He was superior in his insight as to any success the United States would have in finding any program to develop WMDs or evidence of any useful examples of such items in Iraq from before any troops, or even inspectors stepped foot on their sovereign soil.)

Lawrence O'Donnell Questions NYT Reporter Charlie Savage on His Revelations of NSA Spying on Emails
First of all, man does Mr. Savage look tired. His probable long lesson in patience in school due to his last name, must have served him well yesterday. He probably was on every news show beamed from New York -except FOX which doesn't deal with facts only allegations and innuendos. I think this discussion explains and demystifies the latest NSA outrage, and explains the latest revelations in a straight forward manner. It doesn't seem so awful to me. And I helps me forgive the NYT for Judith Miller's trolling for the Bush administration (probably inspired by a need to "make a name for herself" rather than GOP dollars or promises, but still).

American Right Wing Media Also Shown to Have Been Involved in Inspiring Boston Bombing
Remember how we noted on the day of the attack that the day was not only the hated "Tax Day" but also "Patriots Day"?
Excerpts:
Extremist U.S. newspapers and other publications found in the apartment of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev reveal a broad interest in far-flung conspiracy theories, well beyond the Islamist radicalism authorities allege motivated the attack...
The papers included The First Freedom, an Alabama-based newspaper that espouses "equal rights for whites" and whose websites features a Confederate flag. Another was The Sovereign, a New York-based publication that alleges the U.S. is under the sway of Israeli lobbyists, and that Israel and the Department of Homeland Security were "deeply involved" in the Boston bombings. Neither paper returned requests for comment....
Mr. Tsarnaev got his own subscription to American Free Press, a paper that the Southern Law Poverty Center said promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. A spokeswoman for the paper denied it had such an agenda, saying the paper publishes "news that the established media won't."
Terror experts said extremist U.S. literature and Islamist readings may reach vastly different audiences but the themes are largely the same. Both suggest wide-ranging plots by the U.S. and Israeli governments; that time is running out before an intended apocalypse, and heroes must act before it is too late.(Excerpt consistent and below allowed as detailed in statement by District Court in Democratic Underground v Righthaven -- less than 10% of original article)
Luckily white right wing radicalism hasn't been shown to have inspired terrorism in the past. Oh wait. Waco, OKC, Oregon bank bombing.

Ohio GOP Group Investigated by IRS Helped Fat Cats Stop Fair Redistricting, and Enslave The State's Citizens
The GOP is having a tantrum over supposed illegality of investigating their "Social Welfare" groups in Ohio. But Social Welfare groups are actually classified as "charities". That is why they are to be given a tax exempt status and protection from donor disclosure.
Now charities for say feeding poor women and children, might want to stretch their effectiveness by working to get the local, state, or federal government to kick in to feed the downtrodden folks as well, and therefore maximize their efforts to actually get a decent diet for such citizens. God knows it's needed and it has been done for many decades, in fact since FDR. Before that, we got by by letting many of the poor get weak and succumb to diseases or die of starvation outright.
So, to increase fairness the Eisenhower administration changed the 501(c)4 groups to be "primarily" social welfare (charity) groups.
Later political pressure from big money people brought that down to 51% of work of the 501(c)4 needing to be charitable. That's hardly a good definition of primarily, but it still had some control.
But the political groups that created copious right wing 501(c)4 groups in Ohio and then did little but political actions, and no charity at all, are now having tantrums about not being able to have donor masking and tax exemptions, and much of the news system is refusing to explain why they are wrong to do so.
This is an extreme example of the he said/she said wimpiness of "The Press".
But lets examine what one group, the one who worked to defeat an mandate for new and fair redistricting in the state of Ohio, caused to not happen. The above picure shows the results of the 2012 election for US House representatives form Ohio.
Excerpt USA Today report (which is linked near bottom of this report):
Protect Your Vote Ohio was never incorporated in the state, according to the Ohio Secretary of State's website. Yet it was a big contributor in the campaign to defeat Issue 2, the 2012 ballot initiative that would have given a citizen's panel the ability to draw congressional districts in Ohio.Let's compare the results of the 2012 House elections in the state with the 2012 presidential election which isn't cut up into districts.
Of the 16 districts 12 went to GOP candidates 4 went to Democrats.
That means people voting for Democrats for House seats won 25% of the districts. But comparing that number with the presidential election (because 2 House votes were for 1 candidate elections and for ease) Obama and Romney each won nearly 50% of the state vote. So suddenly a Democratic vote for a US House Representative becomes half as valuable as a 1 to 1 comparison.
Your vote for in state representation is likely to be no more fairly treated than that for US House races. I don't have the numbers on that right now though.
To compare your voting status in Ohio it to a slave's status before the civil war, if slaves were worth 3/5ths of a person and a full citizen is worth 5/5ths of a person. A Democratic vote in Ohio US House races is worth 2.5/5ths of a person. Less than an antebellum slave.
Republicans' votes are worth no more than Democrats' though because if you can't change your mind without losing half your rights, you don't have those rights to begin with.
Everyone in Ohio is worth less than a slave.
That's why an initiative was started to break that gambit of enslaving Ohioans by allowing the citizens of the state to vote for better representation in November 2012.
I'm guessing the money flowed though to the group in question which paid for ads and media exposure to confuse the people of Ohio, and now this political group wants it's donors to be able to give tax free non-disclosed donations as if it is a social welfare group ie a charity.
2.5/5ths of a person, Ohio. Does that sound good to you? I'd hate it. I like being a full person, and am happy that I live in California where we passed citizen enabled redistricting.
You should work on your own state passing such a proposition in the next election cycle, if you don't want to be worth less than slaves to the Koch brothers and other wealthy individuals who are reaping the rewards of Gerrymandering out of your hard work.
The leader of the US House Investigations and Government reform committee is GOP Congressman Darrell Issa who represents CA49 North San Diego and South Orange Counties including Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, etc. He has been adamant in defending such groups as I have written about in this article who are pretending they are charities, but are political activism groups without any charitable activities.

Try "Hey, Senator, if you are so hot on national defense then why do you call for the end of NSA surveillance? The Bush 43 administration tried that for 7-8 months in 2001 and then BOOM! There went the World Trade Center. Get it?" Or maybe try "Why do you say that New Jersey is a gimmee state, when it's a net donor to the nation and your state is a net taker?" You can always ask the other question second.
