Eric Cantor of the Republican Rhetoric Party

     Allow me to start out by sending out a message directly to and for Eric Cantor....  
Eric Cantor with all due respect would you please shut your fucking big stupid mouth and go the fuck away. Your ego is far too inflated with your own hot air for you to ever be helpful, insightful, or mindful enough so that you can qualify as any type of leader. I suggest you move on to a crew leader position at a Mc Donalds since your style reminds me of a teenager who just got his first chance to boss other people around. The United States is not comprised of kids who are working their first job and haven't had enough life experience to see you are a dick. Wait ,I did say "with all due respect" so let me rephrase that.... Fuck off idiot. 
     Let's watch this video so everyone can get an idea why I think Eric Cantor is an inept little weasel. 

 
    
    Besides the fact Eric has the look and demeanor of a punk ass preppy who spends the first 30 minutes of each day popping zits on his face and treating his acne, he is stuck-up. Eric Cantor thinks the possibility of his being wrong is less than zero. If you watch the way he holds his head and the mannerisms he uses Eric clearly thinks he shits gumdrops, and if he allows you to have one of those gumdrops you should be thankful, very thankful. Eric first referred to the protesters by saying they were 'mobs'. Isn't the word 'mob' a historically negative term when used by politicians? If a politician says 'mob' then don't you have a vision of money laundering, illegal gambling and corruption or other criminal activities? 
    It plain that Eric didn't see the protests as positive. He didn't even see them as people exercising their freedoms, they were 'mobs' , out of control and dangerous. Then when he is called on it does he back off the term? NOPE. Instead he says there are other things more important than his use of the word. Eric is in a huff because the Democrats are supporting the protesters position that big business is also to blame for the problems we are currently having. His position is not enough blame is being put on Washington. We can safely assume Eric does not plan on taking his plate of blame and trying to force it down. No, Eric seems to think he has a nice clean plate with some golden etching on it spelling out "COOL CANTOR" in a graceful arch. Well Eric Cantor I hope very soon someone or something comes along plops a nice big helping of 'you re not helping' on that pretty little plate. 
   All Eric does is support something that becomes more and more clear each day. The Republicans are not out to see this country come back and support the people who live in it. The Republicans want to see America come back riding on the backs of the American people.They should give as much and work as hard as possible, not for a better life for themselves but for a bigger America. A bigger America represented by corporations and bottom lines instead of the voices of honest hard working happy people. 
     If you are a Republican or a Democrat I want you too look at what is happening. This bullshit need to stop. The two parties can not get anything done and while the Republicans are acting like the biggest racist, greedy, male chauvinist, two-faced idiot dick-heads on the planet the fact remains they are just the worser of two evils. The Democrats are just smart enough to know when to shut the fuck up and do what is needed to keep the people happy enough so marching through the street seems a silly thing to do when there is football, internet, and i pads to be attended to and shopping to be done. 
   I don't know where this is all going to end up when it's done but I would like to see Eric Cantor at a fast food counter asking me what size fries I want when it's through. I don't know if he realizes the possibility these protests could go very wrong he doesn't seem to see that but then you wouldn't be able to spell Cantor without C-A-N-T.

The 99%

Listen to this-
"Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job, and you're not rich, blame yourself," ~Herman Cain candidate for president.

Now this-
“The fact is these people are anarchists. They have no idea what they’re doing out there,” ~Long Island Republican Congressman Peter King 

And this-
"I regard the Wall Street protests as a natural outcome of a bad education system teaching them really dumb ideas." ~ Former Speaker of the House and 2012 presidential candidate Newt Gingrich








Republicans, just when I thought they couldn't get any more stupid. Besides their dismissive belittlement of the Occupy Wall-Street protesters they also seem to be blind too. Among the groups who are a part of these protests you can find labor unions, airline pilots, librarians, students, the handicapped, the elderly, and just your typical everyday citizens. The Republicans can't see anything but bored kids with purple hair. I keep hearing the Wall- Street protesters compared to hippies from the 60's. I wasn't around in the 60's and a lot of the protesters weren't either. They haven't just been protesting the wars, they have more than that on their minds.I can't tell you every issue that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are upset about but I can speak to my frustrations. I spent $75.00 at the grocery store last night. Among the few bags I left the store with were several products that had been quietly downsized. The trend lately is to lower the amount of product you bring home as if by magic. One of the magic tricks is changing the container shape a little cone shape at the bottom of the jar or bottle can saves lots of money. You are hardly going to notice that bottle of katsup only gave you 17 servings instead of 20, right? The katsup makers are counting on that. take a good look at all the items you purchase next time you go shopping and you will see what I mean. From Oreos that lack the filling they had in the past to laundry soap that comes with a 'easy pour' spout which also includes a bottle that holds just a few ounces less detergent.
 Making products using the cheapest materials, changing the unit of measurement so that even though the package reads the same, you are  getting less and paying more. Another trick is to make things look like they are being made easier for you because the company cares about your quality of life. Those little Coke bottles that are 'serving size'? Yea, that 'convenience' is costing you.
  Do you have medical coverage from your employer? Do you have to pay for part of it? Most of us do now. In fact the 'medical coverage' offered by most companies should be called 'medical coupon' since some aren't getting much more than a slight discount from what they would pay if they got coverage on their own.
   The Feds put some rules down on banks, pretty mild rules IMO. One of these rules regulated the amount a bank could charge you for using your card at a store. It really bothered me I would drive around to save $.02 per gallon on gas only to come out even cause of those charges.  The banks considered the amount of revenue they would lose because of the new regulations and figured they needed that money. Now you can pay the bank a lump sum of $5.00 per  month to use your bank card on top of the lowered fee they charge you at the time of your purchase.
 Gas prices go up hand in hand with oil prices. Even though the oil has been purchased ahead of the price hike you can expect the price to instantly rise if oil prices go up. Now if you think about that then you could expect that gas prices would go down along with the current oil prices, right? Hell no. IF gas prices go down it is at an incredibly slow pace. As a result of this practice and the raising of prices "just because" every so often the oil companies have been making record profits. When anyone complained about it the oil companies would reply "supply and demand" expecting that to shield them from any further negative image caused from their price gouging. Well yea there is a demand because people have to use their cars to get  to work to pay their bills, like gas for the car. Public transit is not even close to being an alternative for most people so they have no choice but to drive. The demand is forced and that is a bit unfair. I can understand if the oil companies were looking at some hardship that was going to hurt them if prices didn't go up but that's not the case because they are making record profits. Making record profits at a time when so many people are struggling to get a job and keep their homes seems a bit cold. I'm not saying they stop making money, make a profit, but RECORD PROFITS? The raise in gas prices also costs us more in increased price for goods and services because companies pass the rise in overhead down to the consumer.
  At this time about half the country has heard about the Occupy protests. Of those people 19% disagree with the protesters on their basic core issues, one of  which is corporate greed.
 19%....that is a very small percentage. In this country how many issues can you think of that only 19% of the population disagree with it? That figure alone should strike fear in the hearts of every politician in office and especially those who are sitting on their stupid fat asses talking shit (republicans)
   That idiot Newt has some nerve saying the 99% are a result of a 'bad education' cause obviously his math skills are shit.

Tipping Point


When I get a bonus from my employer, it is taxed at 50%. When I had to withdraw from my 401k because of hardship the internal revenue service came after me and added interest charges. If I did not pay within 30 days they would take all the money available from my bank account. It did not matter that would cause me to be unable to pay my rent. The cost of a parking ticket is $100. The Santa Clara traffic Court made a mistake in recording a fix-it ticket I received. Although I had attempted to pay the $50 fine I was told by the traffic clerk there was no fine owed. Two weeks later I got a notice informing me I owed $300 because I had not paid the fine. I had an opportunity to despute. I replied, telling them the conversation I had with the clerk, her name, and proof I had been at the court. 2 days later they replied saying they had 'investigated' my claim, it was denied. There was no name, no information on how to persue the matter any further just an amount due. They filed paperwork to take the money from my bank account 2 weeks later and did so, without my consent. I applied for an apartment last week. I was denied because the credit agency they used said I was not approved. I have lived on my own since I was 18, I am now 42 I have never failed to pay my rent, I have never broke a lease. I have never been without a job.I do not have any outstanding debt. I do not use credit cards. One reason I was turned down was because my daughter, who is 18 has not established a credit history yet.Bank of America insists on creating the circumstances that make it possible to steal money from me. My overdraft protection covers funds in the correct order as to cause my account to have insufficient funds as many times as possible to result in the highest amount of charges to my account.
 I am about fed up with credit agencies being able to speak for my character. I am sick of banks who, when forced to treat me in a fair manner, find another way to add charges to my transactions. I am sick of lobbists making choices that override any votes from the people.
 It is about time something was done. If they won't check themselves then we need to create some balance. Pass it on.

Peter Popoff Stole My Money!

note:Please keep in mind my references to  god are only in order to give some perspective on things as a believer.I don't believe there is any proof of a god and therefore it/he/she/them does not exist.That would make it impossible for me to be angry at them/she/him/it so any religious people please do not get it twisted.Thanks  

There really is no doubt about it now. Peter Popoff stole my hard earned cash. I  sent him $3.00 cause I needed some debts erased and Peter assured me he was the prophet for the job. I just heard back from Peter and boy am I pissed! Here is what he sent-




Daniel, let me first say THANK YOU... for your faithful support.
Your faithful giving makes it possible to keep
this ministry doing the work of God in the
earth. . . and. . . it makes it possible for you to hook up to
the POWER OF DEBT CANCELLATION... Yes , Jesus said,
"GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU"... Your
gift of $3.00 is already working for the kingdom
of God... and working to bring you a great
harvest.

Dear Daniel, .
  I believe of all the secrets of great achievement that eminent
people have known and Jesus taught the essence is found in this ONE
thought . . . "AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE."
First, I must help you understand the POWER of this insignificant
faith tool...
  The laws of the land may grant liberty and freedom to all in the
physical sense, but unless individuals take it upon themselves to
cultivate their minds in a spiritual way... they will remain in bondage
in so many areas where they should enjoy freedom.
These spiritual laws validate the importance of specialized
knowledge as well as your dreams, purposes, goals and plans. Now if you
are ready to begin your journey toward TOTAL DEBT CANCELLATION... let’s get started.

    Moses was directed by God to stretch out a rod in order to roll
back the Red Sea... David was directed by God to choose five little
stones to defeat a giant... A prophet of God was directed to cast a
certain branch into bitter waters to make them sweet... ALL OF THESE
ACTS, IN THEMSELVES DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO BRING ABOUT THE RESULT
NEEDED . . . BUT WHAT THESE FAITH ACTS E ACCOMPLISH WAS TO CONNECT MAN’S
NATURAL LIMITATIONS WITH THE UNLIMITED SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD.
That's what faith acts do.
   Daniel, now in Jesus’ Name, use the enclosed eraser just as I
instruct . . . remembering "AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE"... Common
logic will tell you that this eraser does not in itself have the power
to erase your debts. HOWEVER... as you and I operate in Faith... we
connect our natural limitations to a SUPERNATURAL GOD... WHO CAN DO ANYTHING.


DANIEL, YOUR VISION ULTIMATELY DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY... Oh, receive
this into your spirit. Many have visions of crystal palaces, golden
streets, but few ever translate these dreams into reality because it
requires PAINSTAKING THOUGHT AND EFFORT... ONE HAS TO HAVE NOT ONLY A
VISION... BUT ALSO FAITH, THOUGHT, AND FOCUSED ACTION... for that Vision
to become a reality. ~
NOW LET’S YOU AND I VISUALIZE... YOUR DEBT CANCELLATION... See yourself
totally DEBT FREE because Jesus Christ paid the price for your total
freedom. NOW... let's put some faith action with this vision... TAKE A
PENCIL... not a pen... but a PENCIL... and write down all of your debts.
Total them all up..
    IN JESUS’ NAME, TAKE THIS ERASER... and erase ONE each day. . . then,
as you erase each one each day, say. . . " I COVER “THIS DEBT WITH THE
BLOOD OF JESUS... AND I DEGREE IT CANCELLED... PAID IN FULL...
AS I PERFORM THIS ACT OF FAITH ....AND ERASE THESE DEBTS"
Don't stop... EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 30 days or until all your debts are
erased, CONTINUE THIS ACT OF FAITH AND MAKE THIS CONFESSION WITH HOLY
BOLDNESS...
 DANIEL, FAITH IS BEING SURE OF WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND
CERTAIN OF WHAT WE DO NOT SEE... THOSE WHO PLACE ALL OF
THEIR FAITH IN OUR LIVING GOD WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
  Right now, put all your faith in God for the successful outcome of
your life. God now becomes your perfect conduit through which your
thoughts are channeled in regard to the formulation of your dreams,
purposes, goals and plans for DEBT CANCELLATION.
  Each time you demonstrate your faith in God through this Faith Act
by erasing your debt. . . understand, it also becomes a prayer. . . "ASK AND
YOU WILL BE GIVEN WHAT YOU ASK FOR" Prayer is simply having a mental a
and verbal conversation with your heavenly Father. THEN... you'll know
the response you will receive will be loving and true.
  No one is endowed with great faith from birth... FAITH IS SOMETHING
THAT GROWS SLOWLY CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING AS IT IS PUT INTO ACTION AND
USED... So practice your faith with me each day for the next 30 days. . .
or until each one of your debts has been erased. YES, ERASE YOUR
DEBT... ALSO, UNDERSTAND THIS IS PREPARING YOU FOR THE NEXT PROPHETIC
LEADING... -
DANIEL, THE NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR YOUR FAITH WILL BE THE
PHASE OF EMPOWERMENT... as you continue to confess and erase debt on
paper and in your thoughts... with prayer and faith in God... God will
EMPOWER YOU TO ACHIEVE NEW HEIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT.


     Now, be honest, have you ever heard such horseshit in your life? Yea, me neither. Keep in mind Peter has no idea whether my $3.00 was needed to feed my kid or to help pay the electric bill but I was so desperate that I sent it anyway.  You know every letter if received from Peter has contained some kind of trinket or prop for me to use and pave the way for Peter asking for more money except this one acknowledging my handing over some cash. You would think  I could get a piece of gum or something for $3.00 but I got nuthin'. Peter Popoff is great with the rhetoric though isn't he? I wonder if Peter could explain one thing to me. This question is one that I've wondered about since i was a little kid. Even when I was very young it seemed to make no sense that god needed people's money. Why the hell would god need money? You would think he could at LEAST make sure the people and places people went to worship him/it/her/them had adequate funds for the bare necessities. You  would think that people who devote their entire lives to god would have some kind of medical coverage and the local  church should have some kind of spiritual disaster coverage. But they don't you hear about a church getting burned down by lightening at least a couple times a year and churches fall down in earthquakes, floodwater does not go around a church either.What's going on with that? I'll tell you what, if you apply the same logic to this question of mine as you would everything else that  exists then you would find the demand for money much the way I see Peter Popoff and his scam.. The problem is most people don't do that. Most religious people say that because its god there is a different type of logic which needs to be applied. That makes no sense, you would think god of all things would make sense sometimes, but it seems that is seldom the case.
   Peter isn't quite done with me yet so I read the rest of his latest letter...

   When the next 30 days come to an end, you, like Moses, will have grown to such a degree that empowerment will come along with a complete trust and knowing that God will meet all your needs. His purpose will be accomplished in your life and your dream of DEBT CANCELLATION WILL BECOME A REALITY...
SPIRITUAL FORCE IS STRONGER THAN MATERIAL FORCE; YOUR THOUGHTS WILL RULE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH IN GOD. One thing stronger than all the armies in the world is an idea whose time has come. I say to you... THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA... THIS IS A GOD IDEA... AND THE TIME FOR ITS  FULFILLMENT HAS COME.
 
  REMEMBER, the cost of keeping this ministry reaching out to the world with compassion... continues daily... and let me say... this week your-support is greatly needed:
 
    Daniel, if God should speak to you to enclose a SPECIAL OFFERING THIS WEEK.., it will be greatly appreciated... and KNOW THIS... YOUR OFFERING aimed specifically at your desire for deliverance from this weight problem will come back to you as answered prayer and WILL ALSO BRING YOU AN ABUNDANT HARVEST!
 
  God says, vow and pay... if you have made a pledge of faith to this ministry.., then give toward the fulfillment of that faith pledge. Do what ever you can today... return your offering in the enclosed envelope. ONE MORE THING... would you please... take a pencil and WRITE YOUR DEBTS OUT ON A SEPARATE SHEET... AND GET IT BACK TO ME... I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN YOU IN THIS ACT OF FAITH...

SO, PLEASE FOLD YOUR OFFERING IN THAT SEPARATE SHEET... AND RUSH IT TO ME TODAY... THAT WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO JOIN YOU IN THIS ACT OF FAITH OVER THE NEXT 30 DAYS... AND KNOW THAT I AM STANDING WITH YOU FOR TOTAL DEBT FREE LIVING! 

Ok, so Peter Popoff has ended his thank you note with: Give me more.
Amazing, I wonder if anyone really falls for this crap. I  guess these days anything is possible. Hopefully one of those possible victims will come across my blog and it will prevent them from sending  their own cash to this parenthetic leech and my three dollars will not be wasted on buying a tin ring or some salt that will be used to steal from people who can afford it the least.
