I Live In a “Constitution-Free” Zone?

Filed under: ACLU,Fuckmooks,Insanity,Neo-Fascism,Seccession,Sinn Fein — Tags: — Morwen Madrigal @ 1:40 pm

Imagine my surprise to run across this piece informing me that I haven’t the protections of our beloved Constitution here in New Orleans. (NOT) We’ve been getting royally fucked since the Federal Flood and the “thrusting” still continues to this very day.

Here’s the map of the areas affected-

Notice that most of these areas marked are Liberal/Progressive strongholds? That the Fourth Amendment doesn’t apply in these zones?  That your skirt can be lifted, your panties pulled down and they can run a camera up your tush, and you have no recourse under Law? It don’t matter if you have a legal ID, or a VA ID, and no priors, but you are still treated as if you did something wrong?

This isn’t the country I was brought up to love, respect and defend. This is not the nation I gave almost a decade to in Her defense. That catch phrase “Home of the Free and the Brave” only has meaning in that we have no Freedoms, but we are brave for living in these zones. What a crock of shit.

That’s why the ACLU is fighting against this program. This is why the ACLU exists. (and one of my ancestors helped found the organization, so there)

And now Lou Dobbs thinks that the ACLU is the monster for fighting for our Constitutional Rights, our Rights and Freedoms given to each and every one of us by virtue of being citizens of the U.S.?

Lou, you TV over-made up talking head- SHUT THE FUCK UP. You have no probs with this excess of governmental interference of ordinary peoples’ lives. You are a “newsman”, you fly anywhere you wish without having your body groped and your family history investigated back four generations. You will never know the degradation of being handled like a piece of meat in a packing plant, the embarassment of others seeing you as a “suspect”, the utter humiliation of realizing that you are a subject, not a citizen.

Maybe I’m being too tough on Mr. Dobbs and the mooks from the “Heartland”… I seceded from the U.S. after the Federal Flood of my homeland, and yes, I am no longer a member of your tribe. Maybe folks like me should be examined whenever we leave our homes. Since we believe in our Rights and Freedoms, fuckmooks like you have everything to fear. We, the real people of America are the demons to fear.

And I hope that people like me haunt your dreams Mr. Dobbs. You deserve it.

No More McDonalds For Moi

Last March I was tickled pink (of course) over McDonalds decision to make a donation to the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC. I ended an eight year hiatus of eating their junk food in order to be supportive of the company’s outreach to the LGBT community.

Today I must swear off spending money at McDonalds- They caved to the American Family Association’s (AFA) boycott concerning the “The Big Mac attack on family values.” The Church of Our Lady of Gentilly has now black-listed McDonalds.

I guess that the rabid cross-bearing fanatics eat mainly fast food, because that boycott would not have worked if they frequented these kinds of eateries in a manner which intelligent people do- which is rarely.  These people must be so short on time to home-cook meals due to their rabid attracts on anything/one that does not swallow their Cultural donkey poop.

I guess I’ll just have to wait until clogged arteries and obesity claim the fools at the AFA. (Maybe this is McDonalds secret and cunning plan- kill the Religious Reich by poisoning them. One can only hope…)

Is 2012 The End of the World ?

Well, there are those mystics who believe that something fantastic will occur in late August ’12. It is to be an Awakening that will move us forward in Enlightenment.  There are others who think it means the end of the World. Since I have a metaphysical bent and love pouring over the information from all sides of the debate, I side with the former.

Late last night I was nodding off at the ‘puter and then a Terrible visage/message appeared in my vision- “Palin 2012″.  ‘Twas scary… take a look-

Is this the Great Beast talked about (ad nauseum) in the Book of Revelations? I know it’s supposed to arrive from the East, but what if that was the origination point and not the travel route. It could cross the Bering Straits and sneak in our back door. (You betcha! wink,wink)

A Warning from the Church of Our Lady of Gentilly- Break out your black candles, sea salt and sage. Hie thee to an armory and choose thy sword. The Great Beast Palinix is slouching it’s way to Washington. I can see her oil smokes from here…

“Sterilize the Poor” Rep. Bumped From House Committee

Filed under: Fools,Fuckmooks,Insanity,Jefferson Parish,John LaBruzzo,Politicians,Racism — Morwen Madrigal @ 6:23 pm

Well our boy “Eugenics” LaBruzzo over in Jefferson Parish just got spanked for his B/S over his sterilize poor folks on Welfare-

“Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, who created a public furor last month with his proposal to pay poor women to be sterilized, was removed Monday from his position as vice chairman of the House Health and Welfare Committee.”

The Fuckmook is getting what he rightly deserves.

T Minus 4 Hours And Counting…

as we wait with baited breath to witness the greatest humiliation of our time- Gov. Sarah Palin “does” a Debate.

This will be light years better than Sen. Ted Stevens’ “explanation” of the Intertoobs and how they work a few years back. (I thought that one was pretty stupid, and damn have I seen stupid in my time, but Palin is going to set a new high, or is that low, in this field.)

As Dan Quayle put it twenty years ago, “What a waste it is to lose a mind. Or not to have a mind is very wasteful. How true that is.”. Is rampant Republican stupidity a cyclical thing? Or is it just an inherent trait?

Maybe Dan Quayle was a prophet- “People that are very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.”

Frankly, I like weirdness “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”, but I don’t apply that to politics, only to living. I expect my politicians I elect to support their constituency, to actually BE OUR REPRESENTATIVES in Washington.  After all, this is a participatory democracy and most of us can’t just fly to D.C. on a whim.  I want someone better than myself to be my voice, or at least listen to it and ponder what I, and the others that make up our community, actually need under the Social Contract for our communities.

I don’t see this with either McCain or Palin. Or actually, I see these two clowns as representatives of an America I never believed in and not the one I fought for-

“The defining moment for me came shortly after Palin and her family stepped down from the stage to uproarious applause, looking happy enough to throw a whole library full of books into a sewer. In the crush to exit the stadium, a middle-aged woman wearing a cowboy hat, a red-white-and-blue shirt and an obvious eye job gushed to a male colleague they were both wearing badges identifying them as members of the Colorado delegation at the Xcel gates.

“She totally reminds me of my cousin!” the delegate screeched. “She’s a real woman! The real thing!”

I stared at her open-mouthed. In that moment, the rank cynicism of the whole sorry deal was laid bare. Here’s the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore.

And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she’s a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed middle-American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin’ Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her. Not because it makes sense, or because it has a chance of improving his life or anyone else’s, but simply because it appeals to the low-humming narcissism that substitutes for his personality, because the image on TV reminds him of the mean, brainless slob he sees in the mirror every morning.”

Curtsey to Matt Taibbi for a description of this part of the electorate that I could not have said better.

Tonight’s debate will be a commentary on the true Culture War that is raging in this country- between those who try to make this country a good place to live and those cretinous myth-enslaved, unenlightened, stuck in the Past crackers that don’t have, and never will, a clue about Reality. A clash between the Spirits of the Future and the moronic inferno of the Past.

So at the Zero Hour, I’ll be downing a bottle of wine, some escargot and canapes as the Elitist bitch I supposedly am, and I’m going to witness the horrors that mirror much of the American people’s souls. Then I will hang my head, tears flowing for the country I was raised to believe in and respect.  My soul aches for what the Repugs have done to our Nation since 1980, and I will never forgive them and their supporters.

Here’s another take on Palin and tonight’s debate that caught my eye.

Tossing Out the Trash (the Rich)

All week we have been subjected to tales of the mayhem to come if our Nation doesn’t bail out several investment banks. “The World will stop spinning”, “There will be a Recession”, “America will go down the tubes”.

Sorry fuckers, it’s time to make the 5% pay the piper for their excesses, greed and speculations. I mean, fair is fair.

Ya’s want a bailout because of your beliefs? Fuck you. You threw the dice and there is no reason for the taxpayers to bail your sorry asses out. Say good-bye to your 5,000 square foot McMansions, your collection of fine cars. Tell Jason and Tiffany that there will be no more special lessons and clubs.They have to walk to school and pray that they can get loans for college.

I don’t just mean this for the Execs of the sinking firms, but also for the shareholders who have driven this insane path. I want all of you to take it in the ass as you have done to the 95% that actually works to survive and puts up with your fucking bullshit. Those of us that you look down upon now hold your balls and ovaries in our hands at this point in time. Payback is a Bitch, ‘eh?

Is this about bitterness on my part? Hell no. I made my way in this world without screwing folks. Ya’ll fucked everything in sight for your “profits”. The Law of Returns states that for every evil action, you will get it back three times. You freakin’ money-pigs have a lot of atonement coming.

NO BAILOUT OF THESE INVESTMENT BANKS AND THEIR ILK!

No safety net for these mooks that screwed us and the economy. No quarter… they have made their beds, and screwed us in the process. Mo mercy and no forgiveness. They will become part of the 95% that actually gets things done in this country if they can actually handle a real job.

Welcome to the real World assholes. I hope you like flipping burgers at the local fast food eatery.

And you had better get my order right.

Jefferson Parish Sure Knows How To Pick ‘Em

Whilst the U.S. “seems” to be rivited on this whole bullshit Socialism bailout for the investment bank industry, gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands (mainly the executives and politicians who created this mess) I’m burned out on doing research on the whys, wheres, whos and the final outcome of the rush to save the rich and greedy mooks out there in money land. I’m holding out for a few days to really get into it since I need to build up my source links for the post. (Yes, I’m very anal over the situation.)

So Gentle Readers, I’m going to go over an unbelievable outrage being “researched” right now in our beloved neighboring Parish, lovable, fun-loving, family-values oriented Jefferson Parish… Land of David Duke and his honorable supporters. I tried to write about this last night when the story broke, but my dictum of “Read, Vomit, Delete” kept getting in the way. This hits way too close to freakin’ home for me. Writing from a slow simmer sometimes works better than from a roiling boil.

Consider State Rep. John LaBruzzo, a fun-loving family-values sort who is so very concerned about the impact of the poor folks on State finances and he’s coming up with a solution- State sponsored sterilization. (I guess this might be considered better than “Are there no workhouses? Are there no debtor’s prisons?”) No, our whimsical LaBruzzo wants to “decrease the surplus poor population” with a $1,000 bribe to undergo losing one’s ability to have children.

Here is his rationale for this current attempt at Eugenics Jefferson Parish style-

“LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said he is gathering statistics now.”

Is this the 21st Century way of saying “We don’t want those kinds of folks around”?

On the other hand, he desires perks for the “right” kinds of people-

“It also could include tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have more children, he said.”

Like this world needs more freakin’ Yuppies.

Here’s a little bit from the New Orleans City Business News-

LaBruzzo- “If both the welfare and Social Security system keep growing, one day we’re going to have a small minority of people working to fund and finance everybody else who isn’t working or producing,” LaBruzzo said. “Our kids, who will be working, will be the minority and any vote of theirs will be canceled out. If your livelihood is based on government handouts, why would you ever vote for somebody who is going to lower taxes? They never would. So once we reach that breaking point there’s no return.”

And from Shana Griffin, interim director of the New Orleans Women’s Health Clinic-

“If someone doesn’t have a car and needs to utilize city-assisted evacuation, that makes them a social burden? The fact that he feels so comfortable and entitled to make these statements is a reflection of our society, that we’re OK with the most vulnerable of our community being blamed for the social, economic and political crises that we’re experiencing,” Griffin said. “If we really want to improve the lives of people in our communities we would think about raising the minimum wage, holistic health care, improving labor laws, employment opportunities for all people and the educational system.

“Instead he wants to use a form of medical experimentation and forced sterilization on poor women of color, using their economic status as a way to make them more vulnerable to the offer.”

I also read an article last night where LaBruzzo is worried that because of differing birthrates between the Haves and the Have-Nots will alter voting patterns here in the Gret Stet. He was worried that his kind would lose elections. Sadly, any and all links to articles containing that admission are gone from the Web. I know I read that statement. Can we say “purge an unwanted statement”?

Rep. John LaBruzzo is a major fucking FUCKMOOK!

Now, why does this tale affect me much more than just the Racist aspect of the entire exercise? I AM a victim of Eugenics… the things medicine did to Intersexed people years ago in the name of Social stability and normalcy was horrible. We had to be corrected, and often said corrections render my tribe sterile. “Lord knows we don’t wany any of those teratologies (Medical= monsters) in our neighborhood. Think of the children!”. (Screw that shit.)

It has been found that my kind of body may very well have been fertile if the surgeons would have lopped the mis-formed Boy parts off and allowed me to be Female. Did the concept of Eugenics lead them to forever close the door to me reproducing? The answer is- wait for it… YES!

So though I’ve never been on Welfare or Food Stamps (outside of the Gustav food aid), and besides my utter outrage concerning LaBruzzo’s “thoughts” on Social Engineering, I have now developed a healthy hatred towards any one, any one, who voted for this prick or David Duke in the Past. You creatures are the ones that need to face extinction, not those who just live and let live.

May the Goddess have mercy on your wretched, twisted souls.. I can’t.

The Bailout B/S
