Man! Dude! Session #330
(D)ude: Man! Who’s going to be calling the Republican
Party’s bluff? Clearly, there is no way to be so sure of having won something
that won’t officially be underway and conclude until next Tuesday Election Day
November 4, 2014!
(M)an: Dude! The Republican Party today is a model for how
not to conduct business. They are equivalent to the conglomerate of literary
agencies that have sustained the elitism of publishing houses in the United
States. The role of government, therefore and accordingly, is to tear down the
walls of tyranny that come up regularly in the cycles of business. It’s like
giving everybody a fighting chance as Elizabeth Warren has stated repeatedly
throughout her campaign on behalf of her Democratic colleagues and we the
American people, particularly those of US in chronic debt, a vehicular move in
the Republican policy playbook that keeps those of us on the bottom rungs in
society to remain there until death.
D: Man! Do your debts die with you?
M: Dude! Yes and no. Voter Turnout on Election Day Tuesday
November 4, 2014 will be determining the fate of our nation and particularly
women and minority populations who are going to be facing challenges in physical
autonomy and daily sustenance. We’ve got to be able to stand up and take action
on behalf of our sisters and brothers by voting for the Democratic Ticket on
Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014. Healthcare and living wages are
nonnegotiable rights that we must stand up and protect. The Republican Party is
against raising the minimum wage and is adamant about repealing the Affordable
Care Act every chance it gets.
D: Man! If the Republican Party really cared about US, it
would not have so adamantly refused Medicaid Expansion in the states where it has
control over the state legislature, like Texas and Wisconsin. If Greg Abbott
and Scott Walker really cared about US, Texas and Wisconsin would be facing a
surplus upon accepting Medicaid Expansion and not the abysmal numbers mess in deficits
and the plummeting credit rating that Chris Christie’s imposed upon New Jersey
year after year. Greg Abbott might claim to be in a separate sphere of existence
than Rick Perry, but let’s not demarcate so hastily, after all the Republican
Party today loves to all-out erase its stances like a wolf remains an
unpredictable predator regardless of the length of time you invest in
observation and interaction with such an animal.
M: Dude! The Republican Party today is comprised of
predatory legislators, indeed! They even want to practice law and order on a
strictly despotic business model that discourages diversification and
competition in the making of capital. That’s absolutely totalitarian talk from
the Republican Party’s end plan for muting the agonizing cries for justice from
the American populace that leads me to a critical concern for Jordan Davis’s
mother and father. Did you watch the Thursday, October 2, 2014 episode of The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell?
D: Man! Jordan Davis’s mother Lucia McBath’s affect was off
balance. She described feeling complete
jubilation after the verdict was rendered that the defendant was guilty of
first-degree murder. However, the smile that accompanied Lucia’s elucidation of
that sigh of relief she released upon
hearing the verdict was clearly masking the truth of the extent of the tremendous
perpetual pain of having outstayed her own child’s violent end.
M: Dude! I’m reminded of Viktor E. Frankl’s book Man’s Search For Meaning, specifically
the first part of the book entitled Experiences
in a Concentration Camp where he clarifies in the beginning,
On the average, only
those prisoners could keep alive who, after years of trekking from camp to
camp, had lost all scruples in their fight for existence; they were prepared to
use every means, honest and otherwise, even brutal force, theft, and betrayal
of their friends, in order to save themselves. We who have come back, by the
aid of many lucky chances or miracles—whatever one may choose to call them—we
know: the best of us did not return.
D: Man! Viktor Frankl accepted all the schools of psychology
and embraced Freud and Adler and Jung with an intellectual interrelated easygoingness
that could only come forth from such tremendous perpetual pain. Clearly, when
you’ve been through such unimaginable horror
and kept awaiting reprieve at any
moment in such brutal conditions Viktor Frankl analyzes as the medical doctor
and specifically the psychiatrist he was training to become when the world
collapsed and his loved ones and he were sent to concentration camps. And let’s not forget, the trains that
transported Jews and their righteous gentile protectors ran through bustling
European cities of the time while government officials in the United States and
the Red Cross International Committee exchanged correspondence acknowledging
disrespectfully the Jewish Problem as
soon as 1942.
M: Dude! The fact that government officials inside the
United States and the Red Cross chose to use such a derogatory term applied to
the Jews collectively by the Nazis is just as obscene as the flawed words of
the male justices perched on the United States Supreme Court. John Roberts’s flighty
defrauder insisting
The way to stop
discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of
race.
And, of course, Clarence Thomas’s abstruse anarchist configuring
This case represents
yet another missed opportunity to right the course of our campaign finance
jurisprudence by restoring a standard that is faithful to the First Amendment.
Until we undertake that reexamination, we remain in a ‘halfway house’ of our
own design.
D: Man! Setting limits on financial contributions violate
whose First Amendment Rights?
M: Dude! According to the syllabus prepared for McCutcheon
et al v. FEC
The right to participate
in democracy through political contributions is protected by the First
Amendment, but that right is not absolute. Congress may regulate campaign
contributions to protect against corruption or the appearance of corruption.
It may not, however,
regulate contributions simply to reduce the amount of money in politics, or to
restrict the political participation of some in order to enhance the relative
influence of others.
Justice Thomas
agreed that the aggregate limits are invalid under the First Amendment, but
would overrule Buckley v. Valeo and subject BCRA’s [Bipartisan Campaign Reform
Act of 2002] aggregate limits to strict scrutiny, which they would surely fail.
D: Man! What makes Clarence Thomas so self-assured about his
ability to argue anything into oblivion anyways?
M: Dude! Viktor Frankl describes the dynamics of suffering
severe malnourishment at Auschwitz in Poland. The soup that was served to the
imprisoned thinned out over time as did their deteriorating bodies. The SS
foremen would pour the watered down nothingness with a ladle into the
prisoners’ bowls and the prisoners deliriously prayed the ladle to descend as
far into the cauldron of soup for the chance of being served a few peas as
well.
D: Man! The Republican Party obstructionists are all for
austerity measures for the economically disadvantaged while the number of
billionaires has doubled since the financial crisis that President George
Walker Bush’s two-terms worth of policies at home and abroad propelled us into.
The number of billionaires in 2009 totaled 793 and today there are 1,645.
M: Dude! Poverty is manufactured and voting for the
Democratic Ticket on Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014 will turnaround the
gridlock and terrible House Bills that the Congressional Republicans have been
passing onto the United States Senate. It’s mindboggling how anyone could vote
for such sloths as the Congressional Republicans, who have only convened
Congress on Capitol Hill for a total of 98 days in 2014.
