Greetings, fellow travelers. Now that the election is over, Your Seeker of Truth has given some thoughts on the influence of money. Here I will not be talking just about Citizens United, but about the money that you don't see. Those seeking more honesty need only look below the break

So here's some news from my little corner of the world; If everything goes well, I will be taking a trip to Bloomington, IL for training for a job that I went to school for (Computer Support, which included A+ Certification) so things are going to be quieter than usual here.

What I would like to talk about today is how we treat those who are the "least of us." There will be some fan-boy squee from me over an upcoming movie and how it relates to the current political climate, which will happen in 3...2...1...

Greetings, sports-fans, and welcome to another chapter in my quest for an honest man. It may come to no shock to you, gentle reader, that yr. humble blogger actually did watch the debate last night. What I saw reminded me of the Rumble in The Jungle, only with Gov. Romney playing George Foreman and Obama playing Ali. Hopefully, a similar outcome will occur come election day.

Indeed, and so much for that, eh? What I am really here for is to tell you a story. A story of why the politics of division are poisonous to the soul of America. Which I will do after the jump.

One of the things that has crossed my path this week is how Republicans have no problem joining forces with Libertarians to defeat the Liberal Menace, but Democrats seems to have a problem teaming up with the Greens for various reasons. What yr. humble blogger will attempt to do in the next few weeks (or days, as scheduling and such permits) if find out why this is, and ask some more knowledgeable people why this is so.

So what do I think is the problem? Well, I may not know, but I have an idea which I will share with you over the next few entries. For now, here's a solution that might be interesting to see, and I am curious to hear what the Peanut Gallery thinks.

Greens and Democrats would do a lot better if they got together more often. If the Republicans can do it with the Libertarians, why can't Greens and Democrats?
For that matter, the Greens would do a lot better if they fielded more candidates across the country in local and state elections rather than trying for what is a failed campaign to win the Presidency which they have about as much chance of winning as I am of being The Pope.

Just some illumination. What are your thoughts?

A cardinal rule in comedy is "Know thy audience." The same rule can be applied in any role that requires you speak to the public on a regular basis and responding to people who are, shall we say, less than enlightened when it comes to Obama.

It's not quite Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions: Politics Edition, but your mileage may vary.
All this will be had after the jump.

Go to your dictionary. Go ahead, I'll wait...

Back? Good. Look up "plutocracy".

plutocracy (pluːˈtɒkrəsɪ)
— n , pl -cies
1.    the rule or control of society by the wealthy
2.    a state or government characterized by the rule of the wealthy
3.    a class that exercises power by virtue of its wealth

The republicans and the companies that back them are not conservative. They are plutocrats. Full stop.

And here we are again, with another rant in A Minor, wherein I get down to the real reason why TeaBaggers are Mad As Hell and Not Going to Take This Anymore.

Like all good progressives, K.O. lives up to his namesake by Knocking This One out of the Part.

However, before I continue this rant in A Minor, let me get this out of the way...
For those of you living in the Volunteer State, more specifically in the Eastern half of the state, (or as I like to call it, "The Really Rotten Republican Region." Starring Zack Wamp playing the part of Dick Dastardly and Bill Haslam as Muttley) you might think progressive voices are few and far between, but you would be wrong.

Don't believe me? Well, have I got news for you, True Believer. Go here and be enlightened. Show them some love.

With that out of the way, we now return you to your scheduled rant already in progress.

I got a number of things creating a burning ember of hate and frustration in my still beating heart. So I will get this out of the way:

The views presented in this diary are presented in "raw form" meaning that I pretty much say whatever is in my head about the particular subject. This also means that I go off in weird tangents, but I do try to stay on track. Also, because it is Raw, the language tends to reflect that. So what I say here is Not Even Remotely Safe For Work. Viewer discretion is advised.

or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the F-Bomb.

This is an intro which leads into a more or less incoherent rant about the various political news of the day. This intro will try to be funny and catch your eye, which may or may not work depending on how people react to it.

Excuse me while I whip this out...

In which a man rants about the various things going on in the political sphere, such as Attorney General not prosecuting rape because of abortion, a "moderate" Republican whining about having a tough job, a hair-brained harridan not having the stones to face her opponent in debate, and basketball coach knowing what side his bread is buttered on.

So without further ado, let's light this candle.

In which a lone voice among the millions takes a good hard look at the current Governor of Arizona, where she is weighed, measured and found wanting. In addition, he also takes a swipe at Know-Nothing firefighters and Do-Nothing Governors.

Excuse me while I whip this out...(sounds of chainsaw firing up)

Wherein a lone voice in the millions that are currently unemployed speaks on the upcoming elections and rumors that many of his fellow Democrats are going to "sit this one out"

Time to get out the chainsaw...
