Koch Brothers = Jim Demint = Heritage Foundation Shutdown Fails

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/207838/koch-brothers-shutdown-just-failed-hard-and-they-are-pissed/

The Koch brothers have denied having any skin in the shutdown game, but the simple fact is their own groups were instrumental in orchestrating it, from lobbying congressmen to take a hard line on defunding Obamacare to harassing those who didn’t get on board. The New York Times points to a Heritage Foundation effort to run internet ads in North Carolina districts against 100 candidates who didn’t sign a pledge from NC Rep Mark Meadows urging Boehner to push for defunding. Eventually 80 of them got on board. 

 Both FreedomWorks and the Heritage Foundation urged the House to vote “no” on the final deal that came from Senate and was resoundingly passed. So how do they feel now that their shutdown was squashed? Bitter. 

 Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, called Republicans’ capitulation “a total surrender.” He’s still convinced his hostage-taking shutdown strategy would have worked, if Republicans had just had the balls to take it all the way to a default: “We don’t have regrets,” Kibbe said. “This was a very winnable fight, if the Republicans had been willing to fight.”

The “Ugly Immigrant” Rafael Cruz – A Jim DeMint Heritage Foundation Production – Eight Years A Citizens and “They” Are Taking Away His “Hard Won” Freedoms – Yeah Right

Eight years into his American Citizenship after 40 (?) odd years a Canadian Citizen and necessary in order to send his Social Security Check Offshore, Rafael Cruz is belly aching, a real ugly immigrant who did whatever he could to be a citizen and now is complaining, whining and generally being ugly – the Ugly Immigrant.

Brought to you by Jim DeMint and the Heritage Foundation and fronts like “Wester Free Press” news sites, “Boutique Journalism” renting space at the Tucson Citizen.

Rafael Cruz, Pastor of a Purifying Fire Religion Franchise in Carrollton Texas – Part of the Benny/Suzanne Hinn “Christian” Worldwide Tax Racket Empire

Pastor Rafael Cruz of Purifying Fire Ministries Carrollton Texas

When the media uses the word “pastor” to describe the grifter, once illegal immigrant, father of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, they are no doubt not going into any church building but merely quoting some checked mark, or line from one of his tax returns claiming tax exemption for his “religious” efforts to launder cash for the poor and needy? – with his mail order minister’s certificate???

So there was no "discussion" when Cruz accused the entire Democratic Party of "assaults on the church itself." 

 To Cruz, requiring faith-based hospitals and schools to match secular employers' insurance is about punishing churches and charging them for "violating their faith." 

 He talked about his religious liberty work in Attorney General Greg Abbott's office defending a Ten Commandments monument and the words "under God" in pledges. 

 "It is astonishing how frequently our religious liberty is under assault," Cruz said. 

 He introduced his father, Cuban immigrant Rafael Cruz, an evangelist with Carrollton-based Purifying Fire Ministries. 

 When it was Krause's turn, Ted Cruz described the young graduate of Jerry Falwell's Liberty University School of Law as a "warrior" and "extremely strong" in Austin. 

 Krause called for a state constitutional amendment upholding religious liberty. That's something voters elsewhere already defeated over concern about child abuse cases. 

 His comment on science included a remark about how many young adults support gay rights because they lack education in the "important role the traditional family has played in our culture."

Senator Tim Scott Encourages All Fatherless Kids to Take Chick-fil-A Sandwiches, Candy and Conservative Ideas from Strangers / Mentors

You can call me Tim, or you can call me Timothy or you can call me Senator...

Tea Party Caucus House member Tim Scott just got a chance to fill part of Heritage Foundation President/Senator Jim DeMint’s South Carolina Senate seat's unexpired term. He is one of them “good” republicans in the South Carolina Tea Party. Wink. Nod. If ya all know what I mean. 

Chik-fil-A secular mentor values = imagined holier than thou Krisitian values. Hay-men.

Watch and learn. One day you too get can get a million dollar a year job at the Heritage Foundation and it all starts with a juicy free Chick-fil-A filled bun from a stranger/mentor. 

http://www.votetimscott.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Media-Kit-mentoring-article.pdf

One day he came down to the movie theater and slid a Chick-fil-A sandwich across the desk. John was smart enough to know that food is a good way to start a conversation with a kid who likes to eat ... which probably means all kids. What a guy!

Over the course of three or four years, John transformed my way of thinking, which changed my life. It was interesting because the lessons that John was teaching me were maybe simple lessons, but they were profound lessons. 

.
By another account, it was a bag of Chick-fil-A sandwiches that turned Tim Scott’s life into the tea-bagger he is today. A story too good to be true seems to grow and grow with each telling.

Validation only through the testimony of white folk in South Carolina???  A Southern Tradition. 

http://www.thestate.com/2012/12/20/2562721/long-ago-mentoring-from-businessman.html#.UOQkT2_AdBA#storylink=cpy

Moniz took a bag of sandwiches to the theater one day and began mentoring Scott, who was struggling to stay in school. 

Moniz’s Christian-based lessons on life and business provided the high-schooler with direction that, 30 years later, Scott credited with helping lead him to the U.S. Senate. 

“At the time, we don’t know who we’re influencing and what they might do with their lives,” said Moniz’s widow, Janice. “God put him in that theater.”

Sesquicentennial (150th Anniversary) of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation

With all this MSM media Feces slinging about “fiscal cliffs” caused by the selfish traitors in the Tea Party in Congress, an important date is about to occur with little mention from the Corporate Owned Media, and that is the 150^th anniversary or sesquicentennial of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

  

While only an Executive Order, a proclamation of a beleaguered politician, a propaganda tool of sorts in the middle of a civil war, it, a Magna Carta like document, freed all the slaves in the states in rebellion against the eternal union of the nation.

Like I said, the Corporate owned media gives airtime to the 150^th anniversary of Fort Sumter in the opening shots of the civil war in South Carolina and gives airtime to genteel cotillions of white ladies and white gentlemen re-enacting 1861 Charleston, it does nothing to match, offset, balance, the vulgar loud mouthed louts given free air time to preach their modern treason like Senator Jim “Obama’s gonna get his Waterloo” DeMint and Representative Joe “You Lie (You Nigger)” Wilson of the second congressional district, both cretins of South Carolina.

I had been wondering why Stephen Spielberg presented his magnificent new Movie “Lincoln” in time to coincide with the presidential election but rather I think it was presented to coincide with one of the great human, humanist, documents of all time and of the entire human race – The Emancipation Proclamation – January 1, 1863.

Neo-Con “War on Christmas” just a Publicity Stunt to Get Free Media Time to Sell the Obsolete Christian Myth – Civil War / Implosion within Christianity Spills Out over into the Streets

There is no war on Christmas. 

Wal-Mart is making record profits selling cheap shitty Christmas junk made by slave labor in China.

Nobody in a secular world wants to hear the ten trillionth repeat of the Constantine Christ Myth make up seventeen hundred years ago and hijacked from the original now extinct “Christians”.

The political decision for the political Neo-Cons who hate women and genuine freedom of expression are marking their territory like dogs saying that only white male entitled Constantine Myth can and must continue to be displayed in the public realm in America.

That once the public square must show a white person Nativity Scene, the next display will be anti-abortion or anti-gay billboards, changing with the seasons and or the whim of Massa Jim DeMint over at the White Massa Club aka as the tax free Heritage Foundation.

If anything, with Irish drunks like Bill O’Reilly and Bill Donohue being the main spokesmen for the myth of the war on Christmas, the implosion of the Vatican and right wing American Christian organizations whose main income now is not from individual contributions but the American Taxpayer through the George W.Bush Faith Based “charity” rip off – that implosion is showing in this phony PR War for Media Attention at Christmas.

The Civil War going on in the Catholic Church, whereby Cultural Catholics, Cafeteria Catholics, Closeted Clergy, Uber(I am holier than the pope)-Catholics and others who cannot sit down together and look their fellow Catholics in the eye in their ancient made up service, is the reason why so much of this vitriol of Christians spills out onto the sidewalks and into the public squares in America at this time of the year.

Please go back to the old days and gather inside your houses of worship and keep your evil shit to yourselves.

The last thing mentioned in the War on Christmas is Christ. The symbols of the infinite made up dogma in a diverse society cling to obscurity and the impossible hope of revival.

Whatever.

Happy Holidays!

Senator Jim DeMint has met his Waterloo

Screw the death threats from p*ssies who strike in the middle of the night (from the right)!

America celebrate!

Jim DeMint has got some major crow to eat!

Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) said:

“If we’re able to stop Obama on this (Health Care Reform) it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”

Avatar - Christianity At War With Nature?

Pantheism or the respect of Nature and not the worship of nature is the default belief system of the human race. Long before we had popes and bishops wearing 20 yards of silk each in the name of the homeless guy – what’s his name? – Jesus, we had nature. And let’s not forget the Creator of nature.

No doubt, James Cameron, native of Canada, having lived through a few Canadian winters has a healthy respect for nature.

His film Avatar is opening a panadora’s box of meaningless tangents. These tangents are mostly of religious symbolism more so than dogma. It never the less scares the Bejesus out of the institutional Christian church because the respect for nature is something that can fall through the cracks and before you know it Druidism and Wicca will reemerge to compound the dying stake share of paying customers in church on Sunday.

Basic fact is that Christianity as a religion is at war with Nature. Avatar only in some ways in a symbolic manner rubs up against and causes friction with the established order of perception where religion is concerned.

Being a good OLD TIME Christian means you are at war with nature. Being at war with nature makes you a “GOOD” Christian. Or so it has gone since Constantine's time.

When you see the typical southern cracker Senator like Jim DeMint against Nature and or climate change, his spiel is part of the hidden dogma of Christianity and has been so since the beginning of that religion.

Which leads us back to an old question. Which came first, the teachings of Jesus or the teachings of the church?

There are two Christianities. Not the east and west thing with orthodox versus roman.

The two Christianities has to do with the teachings of the radical revolutionary Jesus and his message of balanced economics and LOVE as opposed to the totalitarian reformed Roman Army religion of Constantine, founder of the Roman church. Ancient Rome was always at war with nature. Christianity as an official vehicle of Rome is at war too with nature to this day.

The Book of Revelation as a book of Propaganda for the Roman Army/Church is a propaganda message of pacification to the natives. You are with us or against us. If you are against us – expect only Roman Hell to come your way.

Also, the western, Roman and or default calendar I have to say is the universal calendar now on the planet. Every major mcountry in the world including Muslim countries had secular 2010 New Year celebrations or at least in their major cities.

I say universal in a sense of commerce in terms of dating e-mails, letters of credit, date of trades etc. Every regional culture and Islam still has its own regional or exclusive calendar system co-existing next to the Roman Gregorian Calendar – default calendar of global convenience.

The Romans, starting with Julius Caesar, used this same or standardized calendar based solely on numbers. No more of the “move your army between the new and full moon" stuff. Move your army in ten days, period. Move it from Point A to Point B, period.

No more feminine lunar calculatons. No more farmer’s calendars. Armies take what farmers grow. Armies do no grow food anymore. No need for a nature or natural calendar. Sounds like parts of this echoes to this day with the present American/corporate global Empire.

The Romans and their armies crashed their roads through forests and waterways the locals considered sacred in any Pantheist sense. The quickest way to any place on a map is on a straight line. Those old nature religions got obliterated by the Roman Army. Nobody really knows what these old religions really believed. Only bits and pieces or historical rumors of these old beliefs come to us to this day.

Which brings us back to Avatar. Avatar as a word is Hindu Symbolism for the god Vishnu coming to earth. I guess when the Vatican criticizes this Cameron movie they are trying to deflect other religions and their symbolism and commonality as in Jesus as an Avatar and or human form of Nature and or God.

Also the tree of souls in the movie harkens back to the tree of Life theme common in every native culture on the planet.

From the comments in the article below:

The real "Nav'vi"--"Nav'vi" is Hebrew for "prophet"--railed against the nature worshipers of Canaan, because they "fertilized" the ground with human blood (including children of up to 4 years old).

Geez! Now even the Jewish angle is being played into the interpretation of a fantasy movie as a vehicle to promote religion.

If you sit down and analyze Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, you could write volumes on hidden religious and Pantheistic meanings. Why go there ?

Sometimes a movie is just a movie to paraphrase Freud.

The science fiction movie ''Avatar'' borrows themes from many religions.

The big religious question the movie raises can be put this way: Will we see creation hierarchically or ecologically -- governed from above or through mutual interdependence?

The movie preaches the latter, that a network of energy flows through all things, that disturbing natural balance leads to disaster.

Christianity has sometimes been called a religion of colonizers, despoilers and decimators of native peoples.

Also, I always thought that an avatar was something like the image I use on my Internet profile. But what do I know?

You really are giving too much credit to James Cameron who made Titanic. Cameron’s Titanic was a typical Hollywood formula movie with too much success as hype and a thin script thrown in. The gimmick in that Cameron film, which I waited to see on cable TV, was a hidden treasure, the necklace, and the sets and costumes, some extraordinary character actors like Kathy Bates and a puckish Leo. Kate of course is one in a million

We are talking James Cameron here. James "Terminator" Cameron. What religious symbolism did Arnold secretly tell us about? Let’s stop Americanizing the process and mistaking financial success for intelligence, fine film making, good literature or deep religious symbolism.

The religion of money and greed taints everything these days to the point where it is poison like Midas’ gold.

I fear that the new emerging GREEN(secular)RELIGION wants to makes Avatar more than it really is by playing to the Pantheism tune spun off from the Vatican recently.

Americans are dumb enough these days. Don’t make a cottage industry of trying to explain to them the common sense symbols or religious symbols in front of them. They either understand or they don’t. Do we have to FOX NEWS spoon feed them and explain PC and RC (religiously correct) reality to them? So long as they have the price of a movie ticket, let them and their herd in. Green in the form of money and is all they have to worry about.

I have avoided Avatar. My college age son assured me that he enjoyed it. Good. I perceived this new gimmick to be another Hollywood Video Game version of reality thingy with dancing blue monkeys.

I will probably end up seeing it on cable, sans 3-D glasses, when I have insomnia and hopefully the tired Hollywood formula of John Smith and Pocahontas will put me to sleep. Shamans always bore me too.

And at its very confused fused roots of origin, Christianity IMHO is in eternal war with nature (hostility to all things non-Roman) to mention one of several possible Intervention issues.
