Barack Obama Had Two Daddies

"Like father, like son".

Barack Obama, our president, was born in 1961. That was roughly the start of the Civil Rights movement. But it was sometime after the start of loose living, drugs and racial and gender sexual experimentation. Obama's hereditary daddy was some black dude from Kenya. Obama's mommy was some eager white gal from Kansas. Daddy went on to other eager gals and mommy just went on . So who raised Obama? Well if he's like most other people or organisms he would be influenced and somewhat raised by his surroundings. These influences include his state, his schools and the morals, customs and politics of the times.

President Lyndon Johnson was in office between 1963 to 1969. Johnson fathered the Great Society which include massive expansions of the federal influence in private lives. These oversized and expensive influences took the form of Medicare, Civil Rights legislation and an expansion of the Viet Nam War. Sound familiar? Were the policies and legacies of Lyndon Johnson a quasi artificial insemination of all the Obama type children that followed? Is Barack Obama part natural and part governmental fathered? Is Barack Obama a cultural product of daddy # 2 Lyndon Johnson?

So what's that mean? Well if B.O. is any example then this new race of Great Society culturally inseminated are weak but addicted to money and control.

Obama Talks to Veterans of Foreign Wars

President Barack Obama is in Phoenix today trying to drum up support for his Afghanistan War strategy.He will address the Veterans of Foreign Wars. These guys are mostly old. They range from late the 60's to the 80's. Pathetic. The oldest won the second World War but the younger lost in North Korea and Viet Nam. Which was appropriate. The yet-to-be vets lost in Iraq and are losing in Afghanistan. 

Obama's speech will be familar. We have to make the world secure for democracy.Part of that "democracy"includes the US supporting Israel's slow motion genocide of the Palestinians and America's policy of preemptive war.Sorry pres most people don't like war and increasingly they don't like you for being a stooge of the military-industrial-complex and Zionists.

G.H.W. Bush & John McCain: Line Bred Belligerents

Yesterday W's father G.H.W. Bush was in Houston, Texas. He was endorsing Senator John McCain for the presidency. GHWB wore a blue tie with a motif of little aircraft carriers. Stylish? Both came from line bred military families. McCain's father and grandfather were naval admirals. Bush's family tree include a war profiteering angle going back to the early 20th century. This included Samuel Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker. They even helped Hitler's Germany rearm. There is a lot of money to be made in anyones war.


Both Bush Sr. and McCain were shot down and lived to fight the same wars over again. Isn't that a kind of Valhalla? McCain was part of the losing team in Viet Nam. But yet he wants still more wars of occupation but this time in the Middle East. Bush Sr. fought the enemy that his family helped to arm and then he went into Iraq which was largely armed by the U.S. including Bush family business interests. But to their credit, both ate their own cooking. Both showed up and suited up for their respective war duties. But neither learned from their heroic experiences. Both want to continue the ways of war. Hey guys, only fight for something that is legitimately self defense don't look for something to fight.

The Stuff Of Legends And Religions

Next month will be the 39th anniversary of the 1968 Democratic National Convention that was held in Chicago. The convention largely represented the birth and strength of the anti-war movement in America. In it's wake, it brought along other cultural changes and movements that would change the U.S. forever. These included the environmental movement and American-style socialism with expected and unexpected applications of the newly passed Civil Rights legislation.

The poster group for the counter-culture was the Chicago 8 later to become the Chicago 7 when Black Panther Bobby Seale had a separate trial. The Group was primarily made up of activist, socialist/communist Jews. The leader was Jerry Rubin. The message was anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-business, anti-critical thinking and some would add anti-personal hygiene. Despite the mostly unsustainable agenda, the group and others did change the course and culture of America. Subsequently President Nixon did stop the Draft and other politicians were elected to office as anti-war representatives.

So with some clever editors in a hundred years from now, could Mayor Daly become a kind of Roman governor like Pontius Pilate and the scene of the riot at Lincoln Park become an Insurrection On The Mount Historical Landmark? Could the Chicago seven 7 be like the 12 Apostles? Could Jerry Rubin be a more modern anti-establishment Jesus? Is this the way the Catholic Church stumbled into existance?
