Liberals! Wake....the.....fuck....up!!!

The Supreme Court. In all it's infinite wisdom. Is poised to take over the legislative branch of government. Our elected representatives, who currently posses no ability to legislate anyway(thank you very much assholes who voted for the tea party in 2010), are being overruled by five conservative activist judges who feel that it is now up to them to dictate to the congress and the American people what social policy should be.

It is unbelievable to me that the sitting president and elected officials in congress spend nearly two years on crafting legislation that will greatly benefit the American public. Crafting a law that at every single turn a radical minority fights its passage. Crafting a law that many in the liberal community decries as "not liberal enough", crafting a law that is ABSOLUTELY constitutional! And finally passes it, and pays a huge price in the ballot box , but non the less, the right thing was done and those who spent two years of blood sweat and tears were able to go home with their heads held high knowing that they accomplished something that in the long run would greatly benefit America and it's citizens.

Then two years later a group of five old men wearing black robes tell the American people that, "ya, we voted that corporations are people, we voted to allow George W. Bush to steal the 2000 election, but we won't allow you American citizens to get quality, affordable health care on the basis of a rigid constitutional argument that requiring citizens to get health care is unconstitutional, so ya, fuck you America!"

By every account I have heard, the five conservative justices were extremely assertive in their questioning this week of the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, and then yesterday the five justices were even going as a far as saying that the whole law should be struck down. Pretty much saying that they will go ahead and legislate from the bench.

If this law is struck down kiss any form of health care reform goodbye for years to come. Nobody will touch this again, mark my words. If Obama and a super majority of democrats couldn't pass it, no one will. This stupid talk I'm hearing from liberals of,"well, this will unify the base and we'll elect a super-duper majority this election and enact single payer health care reform" is UTTERLY, UTTERLY, UTTERLY, UTTERLY STUPID, RIDICULOUS, MORONIC, NAIVE, GULLIBLE, AND ASININE!

Welcome America! To an age where the legislative branch no longer functions, the executive branch no longer matters, and the judicial branch is ruler of the land. I hope we're all happy.

Five scenarios in which Willard Romney wins the general election.

I just can't wait until I'm the president.

 1. THE ECONOMY. If for some unforeseen reason the economy tanks and unemployment starts to rise, the stock market starts to fall, and credit starts to freeze up. Romney will easily coast to victory this fall.

2. GAS PRICES. If the cost of gas continues to rise and surpasses five dollars a gallon or more this will greatly anger Americans who are under the dumb impression that the sitting president can magically control the cost of fossil fuels. I love how Americans hate the notion of the president Meddling  in the free market and at the same time expect the president to control it. So what, we love free enterprise until it screws us? Then we wonder why the president can't do more to lower gas prices? Sorry America, we can't have it both ways(unless your name is Mitt Romney of course)

3. APATHY. I don't know if you've noticed but we are a miserably apathetic country. Think of most people you know. How many of them can name supreme court justices? How many can name the 39th President? Or better yet, how many know the actual policies in the Affordable Care Act, or, as this stupid country so dumbly calls, Obamacare. (Don't get me started on the importance of health care reform, I have a plethora of posts I'm planning to do on this truly important legislation for the country.) My fear is that this countries moronic citizens, most of them anyway, will be so preoccupied with Biggest Loser and footbawl that turnout will be low and we all know that when turn out is low it benefits the conservative nominee.

4. MAJOR FOREIGN POLICY DISASTER. If a major terrorist attack happens, or even a minor attempt of a terrorist attack, Obama is done.If Iran or North Korea (or any other country with dark skinned people with funny names, those are the countries this bigoted nation hates most)causes turmoil in the world Obama is done. It would make sense for terrorist organizations to do whatever they can to get Obama out of office. He has rallied our allies together and is making America look better than we really deserve. I guarantee America's enemies love the idea of Romney sitting in the oval office being controlled by neo-cons who thirst for more war and occupations of other countries. I'm sure they remember the dubya days as the golden era.

C'mon Obama! Why aren't you the way I imagined?

5.LIBERAL DISSENT. If liberals fail to pull their heads out of their asses, stop whining about the fucking public option, stop whining about gitmo, stop whining about gay marriage, stop whining about the keystone pipeline, stop whining about Afghanistan, plug your nose and vote for Obama! I know you hate him because he failed to be Jesus reincarnate. But do your country a favor and vote for "Bush light" so you can continue to be pissed at the imperfections of governing a huge complex country that has three separate branches of government. If you expected Obama to get in their and dictate to congress and the country our liberal wish list and magically accomplish them one by one in a matter of months you really should just stick to watching movies. Has Obama been perfect? No. Are there things I wish he'd do more of or a better job of? Yes. Will I throw a temper tantrum and not vote for him because he didn't do every last thing I wished he would have done? No!

Because I don't want Mitt Romney, the man with no core, the man who is promising to repeal healthcare reform, the man who wants to send war ships to the shores of Iran, the man who wants the middle class and impoverished to pay down the debt while giving his rich buddies a tax break, the man who believes that,"corporations are people", the man who wants to do away with planned parenthood, the man who will say anything and do anything to gain power, to become president. I do not want this man as our next president! I think I'll stick with Bush light.

Oh and PS.......

Glad to be back

I am incredibly thrilled to be back at it again with my comrad Rev man. I have all this bottled up liberal energy inside and I'm glad to once again have an outlet. This is going to be lots of fun! Thanks all.

Can It Be? It Is!

Hello everyone! You may have noticed a lack of activity over on our other blogs, No Gods No Masters and The Adventures Of Justin (check out Justin's latest post!). That's because Red Town Blues is back! After some discussion we have decided to recombine our forces and give it another go. We have found that we are able to motivate each other to write on a much more frequent basis (certainly not a schedule, we are busy people and this is a hobby for us). There has also been so much political chaos lately that we just need to write about it! I am also personally excited for the goldmine of material that is forming as the presidential race starts to take off.

So there you have it! We are back, and hopefully for good. There will be changes, of course, but bear with us as we get this ball rolling again. It's nice to be rejoining our blogging friends and network!

With sincere love,

The Rev.
