Mother Davis gets off the telephone with Mikhail Gorbachev just in time to write,
Every now and then, I like to take a little trip into Red State America, to see how the other half thinks. It’s always an amusing experience for me, kind of like visiting an ideological theme park with Tilt-A-Whirl loops of rhetoric, with unexpected turns of logic that produce cheap little thrills.
So it was that, yesterday, I wandered on over to a Republican web site that sells anti-liberal t-shirts. Like most Republican web sites (remember Right Wing Stuff?), this one had a boring, unimaginative name: Those Shirts. It’s called Those Shirts because it sells, shirts, see?
I hate to let a little unoriginality in language deter me, though, because I find that if I spend even just a little time in Republican territory, things get interesting pretty quickly. At Those Shirts, I was rewarded very quickly, with the t-shirt design that you see right here: Re-defeat Communism 2008, it reads, with a slash across a picture of Senator Hillary Clinton.
I’m not making this up. The Republicans apparently still believe that they are the brave ones, fighting the Cold War against the impending communist threat that we liberals are just to starry-eyed to see. Communism needs defeating, apparently, and to defeat communism, the Republicans say, we need to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Well, is it true? Is Hillary Clinton a communist? I need to know, because we here at Irregular Times have our very own little capitalist shop of Hillary Clinton t-shirts. I wanted to be sure that we are not inadvertently advocating Bolshevist ideology, so, I took a look at some of Senator Clinton’s recent votes to try to measure the extent of her allegiance with the American Communist Campaign Committee for Evil.
Last year, Senator Clinton supported a filibuster of the most extreme aspects of the Patriot Act, in order to try to stop the government from spying on American citizens. In the communist Soviet Union, you see, the government was not allowed to spy against its citizens, and that was what was wrong with the Soviet Union.
Senator Clinton voted in favor of legislation to create a commission to investigate instances of torture by the U.S. government, and voted against a Republican bill that tried to take habeas corpus rights away from people taken prisoner by the American government. The communist Viet Cong, you see, were always trying to stop torture of prisoners from taking place, and that’s why we had to fight against them in Vietnam. Dirty, rotten, torture-hating commmies!
Hillary Clinton also voted for legislation that would have made it illegal for the government to use public funds to create propaganda. For me, this is the clincher. Fidel Castro, one of the world’s last communist leaders, is always going around refusing to allow his government from engaging in acts of propaganda. That anti-propaganda stand by communist Cuba is one of the reasons that we need to keep our embargo of Cuba in effect. How can the people of Cuba ever become free if they can’t read government propaganda?
By gum, the Republicans are right! I want to sincerely, without any sarcasm at all, thank the right-thinking people over at Those Shirts for helping to educate me about the new communist threat coming from the office of Senator Hillary Redham Clinton! Why, if we don’t stop these Clinton commies, soon, we’ll all be living in a country without any propaganda, torture or government spying against peaceful citizens!
And to think – I was just moments away from becoming a communist dupe.
Putting down her sickle and star,
Mother Davis
Yeah, that’s it. And Hillary Clinton must also be a poodle, because she does NOT have a tail with a little ball of fur on the end of it.
That’s where your logic leads, Anonymous. You’re so dedicated to the idea that there are Communist revolutionaries in hiding all across the United States that you are interpreting the lack of evidence for any such thing as a form of evidence for it.
You are funny, “lack of evidence.” There is plenty of evidence! Does she, or does she not, want to force corporations to give up their profits to the poor? When has the poor ever given you a job? There will be bad, no devistaing repercussions for taking money away from a corporation who is in business to make money for profit only to have the Government take the money so then that in turn will fall back on the worker and consumer Like i said you are cutting your own throat, unless she figures out how to take the money and then really hogtie them through her socialist/communist/Government ideas. You people are precious the Lord loves the Simple Minded.
When have the poor ever exploited human and natural resources and tried to cover it up all to line their own pockets.
Um, a fair amount of the time, if you either pay attention or just look around you. We don’t live on one of those Star Trek colonies where all the salts of the Earth wear earth tones and bake bread and, shaking the flour from their fingers, stand on the front porch as the sun sets and take in their view of the productive mother earth with a sigh of satisfaction mixed with longing for an ecofriendly community garden. The notion of the virtuous and righteous poor is a comforting academic abstraction, but don’t mistake the abstraction for reality. Corporate trashing of people and the environment is more noticeable and of larger scale, unit to unit, because corporations are of larger scale, not because poor people don’t have a desire to trash things or other people.
A Communist? No way. Hillary is a Martian.
Dead giveaway: no antennas. They have learned how to do that in order to gain your trust. They really want to eat your grandmother.
Hey Iroquois, That’s your crowd, you folks are the ones with the conspiracy theory sites and the ones that claim George Bush blew up the twin towers. You crack me up. My Veiws are reasonable and plausible yours are laughable.
I notice none of you have an argument as always just a strong
whinning. No she’s not a communist! Good argument. The Government is going to giver everyone three thousand dollars, no wait free baby sitting. where is this money going to come from? again good Ideas that don’t work in any real application and you talk about martians and antennas why that would be you gulable who believe this tripe, How did that last healthcare thing go for ya after two terms? what you did’nt get any? you will not get anything but anyone that does not agree with their thinking getting Killed like the Ruby Ridge, and David Koresh debacles.
1. The Patriot act is designed to spy on terrorists not American citizens.
2. Water boarding is not torture, and is used on terrorists. Carving out someones eyeballs with a buck knife and skull fucking them with a broom handle is torture.
3. Propaganda? You mean like Rush Limbaugh? Just change the station.
4. Hillary Care is communism; When the government takes your money and controlls your medical decisions.
Really now. How do you know someone is a Terrorist? Do they cackle and rub their hands together? Or do they belong to the Legion of Doom, or have a big “T” tattooed on their forehead? For someone who imagines the capitalist Hillary Clinton to be a communist, you sure have a lack of imagination about your own government. And a lack of reading, to boot. Why, me oh my, just today the government’s practice of spying on Americans without a warrant has been exposed in yet another new way.
Care to be detained for five years, held in solitary confinement in a freezing room, then be waterboarded? Then you can definitively tell me if it’s torture. Yes, I will ask you to follow up if you agree. If the answer is no, what’s your problem? After all, you big Butch, you shouldn’t have a problem with Homeland Security if you’ve got nothing to hide!
This is your cue to say that soldiers have DIED so that I could have the freedom to shut the fuck up.
1. A terrorist is someone who is a member of Al Qaeda.
2. Hillary is not a capitalist, she is an Attorney and politician with leftist views.
3. The 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people against unreasonable searches, but does not require a warrant.
Jim You shut up, you idiot! One way we could recognize a terroist is by the phone calls they receive out of state, but you want to give them rights, and call it spying on Americans. Smoke another bowl ther criminal! you are just screaming the same talking points of the demoncrats because you cannot think for yourself.
I get tired of you whinny Liberals Democrats you don’t know arse from hole in the ground. You are destroying this country! The enemy Cuts our citizens heads off, and blows our buildings up ,and crashes our airplanes, and you worried about Habib mahareshi jellybean willy getting a little water in his face, or that his witto room is not the right tempreture, but those folks in the Twin towers and all the other terror attacks don’t have to worry about water in their faces or Tempreture any longer as their all dead,No, You shut up !
Not a one of you liberals has said anything of substance that cannot be refuted, your just precious!
GM VP says gobal warming a croc! Good for them! The Kings New Clothes for the Liberals
DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors Corp Vice Chairman Bob Lutz has defended remarks he made dismissing global warming as a “total crock of s—,” saying his views had no bearing on GM’s commitment to build environmentally friendly vehicles.
Lutz, GM’s outspoken product development chief, has been under fire from Internet bloggers since last month when he was quoted as making the remark to reporters in Texas.
In a posting on his GM blog on Thursday, Lutz said those “spewing virtual vitriol” at him for minimizing the threat of climate change were “missing the big picture.”
“What they should be doing in earnest is forming opinions, not about me but about GM and what this company is doing that is … hugely beneficial to the causes they so enthusiastically claim to support,” he said in a posting titled, “Talk About a Crock.”
GM, the largest U.S. automaker by sales and market share, has been trying to change its image after taking years of heat for relying too much on sales of large sport-utility vehicles like the Hummer and not moving faster on fuel-saving hybrid technology.
“My thoughts on what has or hasn’t been the cause of climate change have nothing to do with the decisions I make to advance the cause of General Motors,” he wrote.
Lutz said GM was continuing development of the battery-powered, plug-in Chevy Volt and other alternatives to traditional internal combustion engines.
GM is racing against Toyota Motor Corp to be first to market a plug-in hybrid car that can be recharged at a standard electric outlet.
Lutz has previously said GM made a mistake by allowing Toyota to seize “the mantle of green respectability and technology leadership” with its market-leading Prius hybrid.
A 40-year auto industry veteran who joined GM earlier in the decade with a mandate to shake up its vehicle line-up, Lutz is no stranger to controversy.
As part of a campaign against higher fuel economy standards, Lutz wrote in a 2006 blog posting that forcing automakers to sell smaller cars would be “like trying to address the obesity problem in this country by forcing clothing manufacturers to sell smaller, tighter sizes.”
Automakers ended their opposition to higher fuel standards in 2007 when it became clear that proposed changes would become law with or without their support.
In December, President George W. Bush signed a law mandating a 40 percent increase in fleetwide fuel economy by 2020, the first substantial change in three decades.

listen to hilary clinton speak and the evidence is clear. she is communist. and anyone who believes otherwise is just plain ignorant. even the people in the armed forces don’t trust the hag.
Thank you, spokesman for the us military.
“Even the people in the armed forces…” – as if they’re a bunch of moderates.
How can you tell Hillary Clinton is a Communist just by listening to her? Is it the way she pronounces her Rs?
It has been a long time since I responded to this type of harangue. I thought that perhaps the world had moved on and we had all become wiser.
Apparently not!
To compare the political and social economies of countries that you have not visited or lived in is somewhat redundant. And to suggest that a well known, educated, erudite, wealthy daughter of the American political system is a Communist, suggests a total lack of understanding either the person or the Marxian theory of economics.
It is stupid to suggest that Europeans,Australians, New Zealanders, Scandinavians, South and Central Americans, Africans and Asians are all wrong and some intellectually inept and socially challenged literary wannabees have the temerity to challenge the statements made by Mother Davis.
I do not speak for her, she has far more journalistic skills than I, and will I am sure respond aproppriatly in time.
I do not suggest that I am better educated than Iriqoise, Anonymous or us military, but I have traveled extensively and lived and worked in some of those countries these people have castigated, and I can say this.
If they are as wrong in their criticism of Hillary Clinton and other Liberal Democrats as they are about Socialism and Communism, then they have no business publishing their specious nonsense without benefit of research or understanding. To use a term that has been out of favor for too long: They are ‘Jingoists’ and will be nothing more.
Keep up the GOOD work Mother Davis, I am proud to be a supporter of intellect and reason.
Barak is done as far as the General election is concerned and he can thank his Pastor of 20 Years for that.Yeah Darebit, your party Hillary included are socialists it matters not what they have done, it matters what they are pushing for, you cannot push socialism and communism out there all at once you ahve to do it gradually starting as their manifesto staes with institues of higher learning and then lower education and wher eit hits our people the most through Unions who are bought and paid for through the Democrat Party, I am Union memeber I will not say which Local as I fear them, they try to get me to pay for a political fund, No Way will I support the communist /socialist Democrats or thier candidate, they say the president and the RNC uses fear tactics LOL! So does the DNC with their you will lose your Job if you don’t vote Demoncrat… Baloney Crap! If a Democrat gets in office the only differnace will be things will be ten times worse startinf with higher taxes and taxes on gas only the Liberal media will hide the fact that anyhting has been done wrong by a Democrat.

Barack is a Marxist plain and simple and his political affiliation panders to marxism and loves to blame the other side by throwing up smoke screen talking points Like: Bush is trying to take our rights away by illegal wire tapping of citizens marxists consider the world as citizens instead of our own uSA rights they cheapen our Untided states Citizen rights by giving and cheapening our rights and extending them to everyone.
while all humans should have basic rights we should not give our rights to the point where they can sue United states citizens, Most Democrat politicians are Lawyers, and twist the system to thier own devices.

Fuck posts that are longer than “Roots”
No one wants to read your endless rants idiot.
This is not a rant dum dum! This is from Jeff Rense’s site, he is a quack like you libs and this is one of his contributors even Dems and Independents are going to vote for Mccain/Palin I do not care if you read it is probably a little more than the Dr. Seuss you are used to.
Then put up an link to the page and spare us with the fucking novel you prick
The world is seeing quite clearly that the ‘serial liars’ are actually at the DNC and spread from there all across America.
The DNC hounds are also playing with chronology and facts again.
Sarah Palin did not say she ran on a platform of being against the Bridge to Nowhere. What she said was after she looked into the matter closely she declined and decided to not back the project. She ran on a platform of removing the Republican and Democratic Party corruption in Alaska. Folks, she removed that political corruption like an Alaska Brown bear clearing the room and everything in its path. And DC is next.
The other ‘federal dollars’ they are bitching about over at DNC are the same type of normal federal dollars every state gets because of how DC has empowered itself as the keeper of the purse strings of America. There are military bases in Alaska, and roads, infrastructure, schools, federal programs, etc, etc, etc. In typical DNC Pork Fashion, they buried the PORK BRIDGE in the normal appropriations bills and doling out the money from Washington, DC.
From what I have seen in looking into the matter, Palin took the Federal funds that all 50 states took (as rightfully due) and then she told them to stick the Bridge to Nowhere project. If anyone can find otherwise, knock yourself out.
By Nobama not going back to the Senate in the middle of this economic crisis
makes him look like a freshman senator not doing his Job as usual.
John Mcain wanted ten townhall meeting debates and your Guy declined because he knows you will beaten on the issues now you wat to say John Mcain is running from a debate? phhhh! GO TELL THAT TO SOMEBODY WHO WILL ACTUALLTY BELIEVE LIKE YOUR GULLIBLE DEMOCRAT SHEEPLE.
McCain himself said that he doens’t understand economics so well. Yeah, that’s the guy we need to run down there and fix things. Too bad he can’t fix his own campaign. He’s got a freakin plane dicktard. He can go to a meeting in washington all day and then fly in for the debate. There’s no excuse.
He is not running from Nobama, the debate is on foreign policy and not Economics per se and he did not say: “he did not understand economics” He said in honesty:” it(Economics) is not something he understands as well as he should.” Get it right! I can call names also, but I will refrain this time, this is the only thing your side is any good at, as you are evil, mean spirited, as seen by those who protest their views on your side in in public and teach their anti American smut in Universities as old hippy professors… You like to project what you really are on others. Everyone of your politicians are rich and out of touch and John Kerry is the richest at the top of the list they are all Lawyers and have started every war prior to the Iraq war but you forget to mention that when that is your battle cry towards the Republicans/ Conservatives. Just a reality check for ya.
NOBAMA, GOT HIS BUTT HANDED TO HIM IN THE DEBATE.
Biden Got His Butt Kicked By Palin!
And then you woke up.
Then you woke up AT! The polls are now showing McCain is more trusted on mthe economy. Here is what a real Business man has to say about Nobama.
Dear Fellow Business Owners
As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama, will be our next President, and that my Taxes and Fees, will go up in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the customer, will have
to see an increase in my fees to them of about, 8%. I will also have to lay off six of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family,here and didn’t know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found, eight Obama bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.
I can’t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know. I am sending this letter to all business owners that I know.
CBM
That’s cut-and-pasted spam. You didn’t even write it. Are you capable of original thought?
Let’s test that. The only way that “your” taxes and fees under Obama would go up so much that you would have to lay off 1/5 of your employees is if your business is amazingly, wildly, astoundingly high in after-expenses income, to the tune of many millions of dollars per year. How many 30-person businesses make millions of dollars per year? Is that really “your” business, CBM? And given that in this instance “your” business that “you” own is making “you” millions of dollars per year, should we really play our little tiny violin for you?
But no, of course, CBM, you’ve moved on to another blog on which you’re pasting those inane GOP-approved talking points.
“The polls are now showing McCain is more trusted on the economy.”
Please do enlighten us with the source of this “poll.” Every single poll I’ve EVER seen on who is trusted more with the economy is Obama. In all the dozens of polls I’ve ever read I (personally) have never (not once) seen a poll that said McCain was favored with such a question. Are you from another dimension?
Let me be specific without waiting for a response, since it’s clear that the cut-and-paste spammer “CBM” was just a drive-by bullshit dropper. Our bovine Republican visitor said that taxes and fees would increase by 8% — which is the worst case scenario making the direst assumptions about what the Obama tax hike will be for the richest people in America — and that as a result six employees have to go. But let’s go CBM’s figure anyway. Let’s assume that “CBM”, or actually the fictional businessperson dreamed up by a GOP operative, is a real asshole, which is a safe assumption for a Republican businessperson, and only pays $30,000 a year to employees in wages and benefits. If this Republican asshole employer has to lay off six employees to cover a 8% hike in the tax rate, that means that a loss of 6*$30,000, or $180,000, is the result of the 8% rise in the tax rate. If taxes going 8% higher leads to an increase of $180,000 in taxes, then an 8% of X equals $180,000.
X, the income of the business owner in question, is $2.25 million a year. The poor dear.
(I wasn’t a math major, so my calculations might be off here, and please correct me if I’m wrong. Where are your calculations, CBM? CBM?)
That money is none of your business and that is the trouble with you Communist Demon-crats! You still want to punish those who are successful and reward the Lazy and give out welfare checks to do nothings. Barack will ruin this country, it will be seen that he will not be able to deliver. You have no common sense you cannot stand anyone being successful. You are an Idiot Jim and LB! the Polls are tightening….Robin Hood was a criminal!
You can erase it, but the fact remains, the Obama speech writer Left that Communists camp for the McCain camp.

I think that the Lberal Left is really in love with Christian ideology, but they don’t want to admit it…If they were really what they think they are, they would:
let the hungry starve
let the sick die
promote real competition
because if you believe in evolution that is what life is really about.
And if you don’t believe that, then you are just a starry eyed romantic!
I hate it when people try to push their religion on me!
Bad philosophy, Voltaire.
Your argument presumes that Christianity is the ONLY intellectual or ideological system that favors feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, and regulating competition in any way.
This is simply not true. If you had knowledge of intellectual or ideological systems other than Christianity, you would know this.
You also say that “if you believe in evolution,” “life is really about” letting the sick and hungry die and complete unfettered competition.
If you understood evolutionary theory, you would understand that there are successful adaptive strategies that include members of a species refraining from certain types of competition and providing each other with food and protection. You would understand how these adaptive strategies make sense from the standpoint of evolutionary theory.
You are arguing from a position of ignorance.
Bad philosophy, Voltaire.
There are so many illogical leaps in Voltaire’s passage that I hardly know where to begin. Thankfully, Ralph’s addressed some of them, so let me move on to “because if you believe in evolution that is what life is really about.” Inadvertently or on purpose, Voltaire confuses believe in as in “believe exists” with believe in as in “believe is ideal.” I believe in the existence of cancer, but I don’t believe that cancer is a moral good. Furthermore, just because something is believed to exists doesn’t mean that something is believed to be the only thing that exists, or to have an existence of the sort that dictates every other aspect of existence. I believe that trees exist, but I don’t believe that trees have much of anything to do with the orbital plane of Pluto.
That’s the tangled thinking of just one incomplete sentence.
As illogical as it was, and it was supposed to be! It is true that Liberal philosophy and the Christian Right share a lot of common ground. Belief in Charity, Compassion, Care for the sick and on and on. It seems you only differ on theological questions, not really on what needs to be done.
You two boys have such hard noses. I only wish I was as smart.
Iran says Obama’s offer to talk shows US failure. No it shows Obama’s failure as the cowardly communist he is! You do not negotiate with terrorists He as dumb as box of hair!
Would an envelope of hair be more intelligent? I don’t understand the analogy.
How is talking with a theocratic regime proof of Barack Obama’s Communism? Do you know what Communism proposes about theocracy? Hint: It’s related to opium.
