I never use that word, breaking ever, but in this case I will because this is way too important.
First of all, I want to thank, yet another nurse, besides our our nyeves, who has been a great leader, as had DallasDoc, and the other care givers in our nation, in the trenches, and in the fox holes, that no ones else sees, because today another registered nurse, named Lisa Epstein, on Foreclosure.com, has come forward, to protect all of us, all of us that have been fully extorted by both our parties, no matter what you say, that is the truth of what is going on in our nation now.
That is why we are now facing, the absolute worst, reactionary cycle ever. You thought Bill Clinton, and Monica was huge. Forgettaboutit...no big deal. Now we got the real deal coming down, and its' coming down hard and heavy, like never before, and we can either join together as a people, or we will be forever lost.
Strange how our priorities change as a people, when we finally have the courage to realize a basic truth, and put aside our class warfare that 'they' all fight us with:
Fear, terror, the endless wars that are draining us dry, the endless, new 'Motherland' that is eating up trillions of our dollars, yet never keeping us safer, the endless, MIC, the endless:
EXTORTION from both parties, that can no longer, and no longer should it be tolerated, by any honest American at this point.
It took a small little honest nurse, like our own sweet and wonderful nyeves, to come forward, and admit the truth, that the we have on our backs, a nation of Bankers With Syphilis, true and utter Parasites who are draining our own President and nation dry, and will never stop, unless we have the courage to stop them ourselves.
I don't know exactly when we stopped being one people, and one nation, and I don't care at this point. What I do care about, is the truth, and these two brave, amazing people told it today: If you don't watch anything else, please watch this and understand, this: We must find the commonality again in our strength as a people and as a nation, and reject, the class wars, that keep those 'elite masters of the Universe, the new Oligarchy, the new Plutocracy, the new Corporate Overlords' in charge before it is too late, because above all, what they all depending upon is this truth:
That they will indeed keep us divided with: fear, religion, terror, war, anger, rage, sexism, creed, color, immigration, civil rights, and every single idiom that our fore fathers/mothers fought for in our nation, because above all, let us remember this about those in office:
They have the very best, of the very friggin best: They have the best health care paid by us, they give themselves a raise, without our approval, every single year, they protect the vested interests, because that is the way we, and they have let our system grow towards, and if you think for a NY skinny minute they are going to vote for 'change' on how they get their 'perks' well, think again folks. New ways to vote for our leaders, is the biggest Catch 22 laugh, that we will never get...
Would you give up a trip to the Cayman Islands, in December, on a private jet, paid by the taxpayers for a so called political retreat? I mean, what is the matter with us? Don't you get it yet?
New and better Democrats? Sure.............I'll vote for that, just give me a list. I mean, anyone got a list? I got a list, only the one that most people didn't approve us was not pretty enough, and now he is losing. He was too crass, he was too, over the top, he wasn't pretty enough, he went after Wall Street and the War Profiteers from the get go, and he had some balls and guts, but we must not look at that. After all, we are used to the weak Democrats, who 'act' like they are real Democrats, but in the end, cave, and cave and cave, and then spit in the face of those that elect them, sell the middle class out, and then...........
Oh.......................wonder, why in the hell no one shows up to vote for them.
OK?
At the top of my list for new and better Democrats: was Barack Obama. No Problem, I worked my ass off for him, and so did you.
So here we have it, the raw and ugly truth:
What is going on in our nation is a national disgrace. And at least, when I am on my own death bed, at that time, I will be able to say these words to myself:
I stood by William K. Black, I stood by Simon Johnson, I stood by Paul Krugman, I stood by Elizabeth Warren and Brooksley Born, I stood by even the few decent recent, men in the Federal Reserve, like Paul Volcker, who doubled down, and knew at least how to deal with a real crisis in our nation. I stand by the Kennedy family, who at least understood the basic premise of understanding, that unless we had a society that gave to those less fortunate than ourselves, than we indeed, had no society worth saving at all.
I stood in my heart next to Martin Luther King, who denied all violence, as did the great leaders, and I have stood by, other great leaders, who would not sell us out, as a party, as did, FDR, who understood the same things the Kennedy family did....to those that have give much, much is expected. That unless we 'make them do it, they will not do it'....and to 'welcome their hatred' is the mark of a great leader, and it always will be and must be, no matter, how much money that is filled with blood on it, comes into our political body.
I really do not care if you want to call this diary hyperbole, or whatever. This is way too important at this time for that. We have finally come to a great fork in the road of our nation, and now we are at that great cross roads.
We, as a people have been patient. We have been kind, we have paid the greatest price that we could possibly pay for....we have paid with our jobs, our homes, and of course, watched as many of our friends and relatives, are now living in their cars, or worse.
We, have believed in the idiom, that Obama gave us:
This is 'Your moment and your time' only to find out, that this was the cruelest lie of all.
I wish, it were not so, I honestly do, but all the facts speak otherwise. As the saying goes, you are welcome to your opinion, but the evidence, and facts, may and do speak otherwise.
Go ahead, and blame the Republicans, because they should be blamed, but in the end, what we voted for and what we got, are two entirely different things.
What we got was the biggest 'Blue Dog' of them all, that did not have a clue about how to lead, or how to have to 'guts' that Kerry did not have, and few have had since, Howard Dean. At least Howard Dean, in a courageous way, had the courage to throw off the Clinton brigade that never left the Obama Administration, but again, we did not understand how cut throat the Rethugs and new fake Tea Party Christians, and Supreme Court Chamber of Commerce, could get...............did we?
Do you get it yet? You want to call me a purist? Good luck with that, because, in the end, we are going to get exactly what we elected and in the end, we can only blame ourselves, for how we lost the 'soul of the Democratic Party' and for that, I am most sorry of all.
What Congressman, or Senator has fought the hardest against Wall Street/the Banks the illegal Foreclosure Mills, and the War Profiteers in the last few years?
I'll tell you who. He may not be all beautiful and smiley and perfect, he may not be so 'transformational' but now he is losing, because 20 percent of the entire Republican Illegal Chamber of Commerce Supreme Court Bullshit, Corporations are People money has denoted him as the number one Democrat to defeat:
Congressman Alan Grayson. Yes, he knows more about Wall Street than anyone else in our government. Yes, he knows more about how 'it all works' ............he knows why they all out to get him, and what in the hell, don't we get about that?
Oh, not enough BWD, pictures for you? Well, he does have a Polynesian wife with 5 children, who have had death threats against them. Is that good enough? And know he is about to be voted out, how do you feel about that?
Leave it to the Democrats. We always are left with egg on our faces, in these last 30 years wondering why we didn't even notice IKE, when he, as the one last decent American (a Republican) warned us against the MIC, and he was a 5 Star General.
We as a people, apparently just do not fucking get it. It is no longer a partisan issue, even if it ever was. This is about extortion. This is about our very survival. This is about the rule of law. This is about calling it for what it is no matter, what our politics are about anymore.
We can, and must work all of that out later. But for now, there is only one thing that matters..
Our friggin 'check book'.................got it yet? Our check book is on 'empty'.............you know, like our gas tank.
I see us all on this road on the old highway Rt. 66, heading towards Bakersfield, after going through miles and miles and miles, of nothing than miles and miles of miles..what they call it is, 'white line fever' (hey I did that a few times, had a great time)....but we are going nowhere fast, because, we just cannot come together anymore...can we?
We have got to face the FRAUD PEOPLE. We have have got to reject, the class warfare, we have got to reject the fake tea party movement, we must go back to the basic principals of law in our nation, and restructure, again, or all us all will be lost.
All of us.
This is what the great, great William K. Black has been saying over and over again, and I will continue to say it until the day I pass away.
It is the way our society will survive and must survive. It is not about me, or about the Rethugs, or Democrats..it is about all of 'us' as a people.
I wonder, if we can reunite ourselves, again, and stop letting them all divide us, so that they can go this evening, on their waiting, Gulf Stream Jet, to their latest Cayman Island vacation, with all their endless perks and pork, laughing in our faces, while they continue to 'extort' all of us.
Regardless, this is in a way, my saying probably a good bye to to great, great American, Congressman Alan Grayson, who may be defeated.
Know this: He spoke the truth, he knew exactly what happened to our nation, and who caused it, and he dared to speak it out unlike any other Democrat, to date.
Say what you will about him. He is not perfect at all, but I never look for perfection in a great leader, I look towards a stand of courage, conviction, and character. I look towards leadership and a person that actually cares for those less fortunate that myself, I look towards a leader that has the 'guts' to take a stand, I look towards a leader that will 'lead' instead of hiding behind the shadows, sending our trail balloons and never leading at all.
Know this, I did not start this diary out, as a tribute to this great leader at all. It is just the way it ended up naturally.
So I will end this diary, as I should with one more push for a great leader, that somehow, we did not recognize, when we should have:

Do you wonder why the Tea Party/Christian Right Crazies the Supreme Court Chamber of Commerce Republicans are spending 20 percent of all their money on getting rid of him?
I don't.
Thanks as always.
