Shrimp, Grits, N Sweet Crude Oil

America Inc’s #1 Corporatist Spokesman, Rush Limbaugh exclaimed to his sheeple ,“It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is.” Yes in Limbaugh’s Oxycontin afflicted mind could Oil be “great” for the environment. Hey Rush Uranium is “natural” too, have a few nuggets with your next dose of  Oxycontin. Only a Real Company Man could sell the toxic “black gold” or “Texas Tea” as “good” with shrimp or oysters. Hard to believe that anyone could be so stupid and dangerous at the same time. So while most intelligent folks ponder the impact this disaster will have on our economy,environment, and health concerns, Corporate Forces dispatch their apologist, cronies, hacks, pr-agents, payroll politicians, and free-market think tanks out to pollute the political waters. Citizens United Decision by the US Supreme Court should give us the power to execute BP/Trans Ocean/Haliburton, but I doubt the best Congress Money could buy would ever get the stones to put down these corporate monsters. The politics of Big Oil lubes our electorial system in America Inc. Even a “New Kind of Politics” from Candidate Barack Obama received almost 900, 000 bucks from Cheney and Palin’s  friends. President Obama and Democratic Candidates received only 28% of almost 6 million dollars in 2008 Presidential Campaign. The Gas and Oil Lobby invested almost 9 million dollars in Congress last election cycle with GOP Candidates accepting 66% of total donations. Proof positive Corporations own the place.  Last March President Obama decided to become the best “Republican President” since Ike and offer “Drill Baby Drill” as a part of a Clean Energy Bill and 3 weeks later—Gulf Coast We Have a Problem. Big Government to the rescue.

Let the Spin Begin.

“This is not our accident, but it’s our responsibility,” British Petroleum’s CEO Tony Hayward told CBS’ “The Early Show” Monday. Oh BP YOUR Oil to gouge us with, but spill of death not your fault.  Well then who’s involved in the accident?  Transocean, owners of the Oil Rig not saying much since April 26th. Wait,Corporate Media have an Expert and credible former government official to help us understand who’s to blame. Former FEMA Chief  Micheal “you’re doing a heck of a job” Brownie knows who’s responsible for the oil volcano , The Obama Administration and Evil Environmentalist. March on Corporate Soldiers March On!!! While America Inc’s most hated horse breeder points at the Evil Anti-America Left, Right Wing Media Machine, Bloggers, and Corporate Affiliate /Enabler CNN let’s us know this is “Obama’s Katrina”. I didn’t know Messiah Obama had an “Oil Accident” Doppler Radar Forecast Technology.

The Corporate Band Plays on…

Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) attacks Obama Administration on response and the Democrats offer another weak Bill: “Big Oil Bailout Prevention Act” that would raise the economic damages liability cap for offshore oil spills from $75 million to $10 billion. BP who reported 5.6 billion in 1st quarter profits this year should pay the ENTIRE COST of the “accident”. President Obama during a May 2nd trip to the Gulf Coast (No Fly-Over), held British Petroleum responsible for  “A Massive and Potentially Unprecedented Environmental Disaster” Micheal Steele,  How’s that “Drill Baby Drill” bumper working for you and you fellow Conservatives? “That was not a Senate Republican phrase.” According to Sens. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Pat Roberts (R-KS). So much for “Energy Security” GOP faithful. Cheney, Palin, RGA, RNC, Oil Lobby, and News Corp all silent. No need to talk now, they own Congress in America Inc. Tea baggers and Free Market Conservatives? Where is the Anti-Government  Rhetoric from Jindal, or Barbor, or Sen. Shelby and Sen Sessions? Only Big Government can save you now. While “Gub-Mint” comes to the rescue, let’s take a look the documents and notes from Cheney’s 2001 Energy meetings.  This Free-Market Disaster will endanger our environment for years to come, just ask the folks in Prince William Sound Alaska. Hope you like “Sweet Gulf Crude” with your shrimp and grits. You can thank America Inc. later.

We Are ALL Haitians!!!

The catastrophic earth quake in Haiti can bring tears to the eyes of even the most macho of all men. No sane person can look at the death and destruction of one of the worlds poorest countries and not shed a tear when you see thousands of babies, toddlers, school age children, mothers, grandmothers, young men, grandfathers, missionaries, and relief workers all working to survive a natural disaster. While I expect people with black hearts, ie Rush and Robertson, to have an enormous disregard for human life and spout such ridiculous statements, Rush “Obama will use Haiti to boost credibility with the black community in both the,”light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It’s made to order for him. That’s why he couldn’t wait to get out there.” Or self-proclaimed man of God, Robertson implied that the quake, and the general suffering of the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country, was the result of a “pact with the devil”, that Haitian rebels made in the 18th century. Even Facebook is not immune to ignorant hateful people like this group here: I can’t type the name of group, but click on link, then complain to facebook to have them removed for rule #7 hate-speech.

I said before we tend to expect these vile statements from these well-known purveyors of hate and intolerance, but I am truly troubled when my people call into talk shows or post on Facebook, twitter, or comment in blogs “forget helping Haiti, what about people here?” While the pain of the current recession here in the U.S. and the continuing Black Divide in our society is an everyday reality in America is always a concern, watch what you say. See these black folks apparently don’t know the connection between the U.S. History and Haiti. If you love Creole Food, or enjoy New Orléans you should write a check to the Red Cross now! Without the Haitian Revolution, America wouldn’t be seen from “sea to shining sea”. Even a blind man can see that our “free-market” solutions for Haiti, brutal dictators/corruption, our past political interference , and historical oppression of Haiti for a rebellion against slavery has never allowed Haitians to truly control their own destiny. Haitian contributions to the fight for freedom can not only begin with our own American Independence and fight for freedom, but extends in South American Countries revolts against American and European Imperialism. Cubans and others fleeing political oppression receive a warm embrace by our government and Haitians are towed back by the US Navy and thousands die each year paddling towards “the home of the brave.” So while many feel pain here in the US, the Haitian ‘s pain is a wound that has never healed. Many choose to help Haiti. Others pour salt in the wound with  apathy, ignorance , and inhumanity.  Now that’s the Truth!
