Only Gun Nuts

Gun nuts will say and do anything to protect their White "Christian" right to own something to kill.

They enjoy the fear they impose on others wearing their guns and swaggering around to go shopping or out to eat.

They say more guns make people safe, but with 300,000,000 in the nation and tens of thousands dying or wounded yearly, many children, that's okay as long as they selfishly can keep their guns.

They say it's their right to feel safe, but fuck everyone else's right to feel safe not knowing if the person is carrying or if open carrying if they are bigots, sociopaths, drug users, off their drugs, or paranoid psychopaths.

And the very aforementioned people are the ones who should not have guns, but usually have many.

And of course the paranoids about the government that think their guns will protect them, until a drone wipes them off the Earth.

And if a Black, Muslim, or Hispanic open carried? They would be vilified, labeled a terrorist or a gang banger respectively, and many would just be outright killed by another legal carrying gun nut.

Good, legal, understanding gun owners do not need nor want open or conceal carry. They do not mind background checks and the removal of the vast majority of 300,000,000 guns from the nation. And they see why we need annual psych testing for gun owners.

Only gun nuts are against it all and for more and more guns and less and less restrictions.

The Green Party for the future.

Those who support Bernie Sanders have seen and now know full well that the Democratic Party is NOT a progressive, green, or party of the people. Bernie started a movement, but it is not a movement that will ever change the establishment Democrats. They have made their choice behind big banks and big business in trying (and not totally succeeding) in giving Hillary the crown.

It's time for the MILLIONS of Sanders supporters, those who believe in his principles and ideas to join the Green Party. For many years they have had those same values and ideas, they have appealed to all levels from liberals to conservatives. They have a national platform. But they need YOUR HELP. They need to get on all 50 state ballots but are being blocked, lied about, and deceived by the Democrats and Republicans.

Ever hear of Jill Stein? No? That's because the duopoly controlled media and debate system has made sure you don't hear of her. Dr. Stein is a strong woman who, unlike Hillary, stands up to banks and corporations. Who has been arrested to show the political system is wrong, and who is for national healthcare.

Yes, we must stand behind Bernie Sanders to the end, but NOW we must stand behind the Green Party and make sure this party rises to the prominence and position needed to represent the people and remove Citizens United, remove PAC money, and restore the Republic from oligarchy.

Not voting for an oligarch is the right vote.

I'm getting really damn tired of people saying that if you don't vote for Hillary you're voting for Trump.

No. Hillary voters voted for Trump by picking one of the most scandal ridden, unethical, paid off, hypocrites in the history of the Democratic Party.

You think she'll stand for gay rights? She supported DOMA.

You think she'll stop killing our soldiers for profit? She supported Iraq and wants soldiers in Syria.

You think she'll help the working class? She has taken in as much money as any Republican.

You think she'll support green energy? She has pushed for fracking worldwide.

You think she'll actually support gun legislation? She abused the Clinton Foundation and used it to sell guns throughout the world.

You think she'll change Citizens United? She actively profits from it and abused and lied about her donations.

You think she'll put liberals on the SCOTUS? She is a tried and true corporatist who will put corporate judges on advancing the oligarchy.

There is nothing, zero, that is redeeming about Hillary. She will sugar coat her crap while Trump says it plain.

No. People voting for Sanders or Stein are not voting, picking, or handing Trump the Presidency. Hillary supporters are.

When you look at Trump and ask what happened to the Republican Party of T. Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Ford, ask yourself how the heck you can not look at Hillary and not ask what happened to the Democratic Party of FDR, JFK, and Carter.

A vote for Sanders or Stein is a vote for the future of our nation. A vote for either Hillary or Trump is a vote against it.

An Apology to Nader Supporters and Why Sanders Supporters must go Green Party.


In this age of watching corporate fascist Trump vs oligarch Hillary I am finding out, as are many people, that hindsight is 20/20.

I remember well the Gore vs Bush election, the "hanging chad" scandal, the interference of the SCOTUS, and most of all the Green Party Candidate Ralph Nader.

Ralph Nader, not the most beloved person. was accused at the time of having "handed the election to Bush." Just like now Hillary supporters are crying that should Sanders supporters not vote for Hillary it will "hand the election to Trump."

But the truth of the matter is that no election is "handed" to any candidate because of another candidate's supporters. It's handed to the other candidate because, to put it bluntly, the other candidate sucks.

We as a society have been lied to time after time that we MUST vote for these lesser evils. We have been taught we have only TWO choices, and one of those MUST be elected.

This is a great lie propagated by the Democrats and Republicans and honed to a fine point over the decades. Through their command of mass media, their control of debates, their financing by banks and corporations, they have locked out other parties so we MUST vote for one of them.

But that is what it is...a great lie.

And in this day and age we now know without doubt, Nader handed nobody anything. His voters were voting for him because Bush and Gore were terrible, awful candidates. Bush was a worthless do nothing with a horrible history as Governor of Texas and Gore was a weak VP who ran such a bad campaign he couldn't even take his home state. And honestly, both of them were probably the worse orators in our history. So no, Nader and his voters didn't hand the election to Bush, Gore did by being such a bad candidate Bush squeaked by (showing how bad a candidate Bush was too). (I'm not going to go into the SCOTUS mess, that's a huge different issue which wouldn't have been had one had an overwhelming majority over the other.)

And in this election, now fueled by the Internet which bypassed the lies of mainstream media, and with a drive by Sanders supporters and millions of Independents who see "Bush v Gore" again in "Trump v Hillary" as having two of the most corrupt and terrible candidates in either Party's history, it will not be Sanders supporters or the Independents who will hand Trump a victory should he win, it will be because Hillary is the most scandal ridden and reviled Democratic (and completely non-liberal) candidate in the Democratic Party history and her friend Wasserman-Schultz (now attacking progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren and progressive Congressmen Alan Grayson) is forcing a Hillary win over the people's will.

And what about Sanders supporters? What about the Independents? They absolutely positively must move to the Green Party, regardless of Bernie's decision to back Hillary (which I hope he won't) or to not run Green or Independent or Write In. This isn't about Bernie exclusively. it's about ending this dangerous and destructive two Party system. It's about ending the need for people to pick lesser evils. It's about advancing a Party that is NOT corporate and bank controlled with honest American candidates who care about the people. In the past I have voted both Green and Libertarian when they had good candidates who spoke for the people, but over the years the choice has become more solidified on all counts for all the Parties.

The Democratic and Republican Parties no longer represent the people of the USA. They work exclusively for the banks and corporations. The DNC proved that unequivocally this year.

The Libertarian Party I cannot support as over the intervening years, even though Gary Johnson is once again running, they have fallen into a "total deregulation of all corporations" mentality that would and is deadly for the nation (look at water conditions throughout the nation, oil spills, etc.). 

The Green Party now has solidified it's positions which are almost 100% those of Bernie Sanders and all his supporters as well as Independents and even moderate Republicans (the Green Party does not want endless war, wants to cut the military budget, and have better fiscal conservancy).

The move for a powerful Third Party is 100% doable if we do NOT believe the LIES that we MUST have only two Parties. If MILLIONS of people support the Green Party that makes it OUR party. So please, support Sanders to the end, but then go Green!

The Lesser Evil is still Evil, Hillary is the Lesser Evil

The list goes on. These aren't conspiracy theories or Fox News, these are matters of record.

What was said in those speeches to Goldman Sachs she got paid more than millions of people make in a year?

Why did she have white noise cut out the ability of reporters to hear what she was saying?

Why is the chair of the DNC and Hillary best friend Wasserman Schultz attacking Warren and supporting Republicans about payday lenders?

It's a sad and terrible time when we either can pick an oligarch or a fascist, all because of fear of the other, rather than actually pick those who would move the nation forward for the people.

Good luck with that lesser, and still, evil.
