To Be or Not to Be in GOP: NSA, Abortion, Prison & Drug Reforms, Immigration, Fiscal Responsibility & Gays = How Certain Republicans Are Made to Feel Uncomfortable

This blog post is kinda inspired by current events ... for example, Michele Bachman recently stated that in this age of "new media" there is a shinning bright light exposing the continental divide of the Republican party.

 To Be or Not to Be in the GOP?

 Since I have been old enough to register to vote I have been a registered republican. At Marquette University I was in the Young Republicans and enjoyed going door-to-door for Governor Tommy Thompson's successful campaign for re-election in Wisconsin. 

 However, as I have gained wisdom I certainly have gained insight that the world is not just black or white no matter how hard both side of the political parties in America would like that to be so like the movie Pleasantville. Reality, like time itself, has a constantly moving, expanding gray area.

 Both parties assign value(s) of "danger" for political pandering more so than common decency or good.

 In today's political climate if you are a Democrat than all Republicans are racist tea-baggers and if you're a Republican all Democrats are union thugs.

  5. NSA, Prison & Drug Reforms
  6. There is a faction of the Republican party that identifies with certain libertarian self-awareness of what it is to be "free" as an American citizen educated to know that we actually have a social contract with our Government = the government works for us and not vice versa.
  7. After President Obama was elected a smug arrogance from Government workers was so evident that if you weren't a government employee and you weren't bowing down and agreeing with everything the Obama administration was dealing = you were a loser (literally) by whatever means necessary --- and if you were not ready to automatically give up your rights and plead guilty for opposing views = well, there was a narrative that would label you suspicious until everyone around you felt that way.

  8. @OpPinkPower: Smoking Gun: DEA Manuals Show Feds Use NSA Spy Data, Train Cops to Construct False Chains of Evidence https://t.co/1NA7A2rqMm


Look, post 9/11 I was all for the Patriot-Act and supported the rationalization that "if you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about." Thinking that this wrong-doing was "terror related activities" only I supported this 100% so that everyone & everything I love in this country would be protected by counter-terror methods, strategies & tactics by law enforcement.

However, by no means did I ever expect to learn the fact that local & federal law enforcement agencies would have its people use these counter-terror methods, strategies & tactics for guaranteed busts for non-violent "offenses" that would have nothing at all to do with terror --- including false chains of suspicious labeling connecting dots for a narrative that would have someone labeled a "target" in order to "warrant" tracking every single on-line, digital, public and outside world move the target makes --- guaranteeing busts for law enforcement quotas in order to show a need for making such busts --- sending people to prison(s) and then ultimately growing the budgets of these law enforcement agencies both local & federal.

This is a huge breach of social contract with our own government violating human rights, civil rights and individual & minority rights of U.S. citizens.

What an outrage and hopefully the only reason why the mainstream media is not currently exposing these wolves in sheep's clothing is because it's under investigation and they can't talk about it! 

Given the courageous research by Dr. Sanjay Gupta shown in his recent CNN documentary called Weed and also the brave logical research & OpEd in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Monday, March 1, 2014 by famed Dr. Cyril Wecht called The Myth of Marijuana = these unlawful dragnets, this unreasonable supicious-less targeting to bust people for buying small amounts of marijuana or selling small amounts of marijuana is even more outrageously disgusting and shows the true desperation of the failed war on drugs. ... exposing the zealot like crusade that's way beyond out-of-control.

Moreover, since most people busted and jailed for weed are of color, this proves the validity of what activists are calling "The New Jim Crow."

U.S. prisons are over-crowded on purpose = the program is called "Cash for Ass" and operates like the "Cash for Kids" case that was just exposed in Pennsylvania.

Abortion

Since I am not a woman I will not comment but, yes,I agree with women who say it is creepy for old white men to think they feel a need to say what's right for women and the bodies of women.

Fiscal Responsibility 

Despite how most Democrats would like to put all Republicans and Libertarians in a box called "anti social programs" and or "anti poor" ... I am not for wiping out social security, medicare and medicaid! sorry!!

I am for expanding such programs such as social security, medicare and medicaid.

However, as a frugal person who doesn't like to waste and sees the rational sane approach of making a budget work, cuts need to be made to make these programs work.

We don't need to redistribute wealth by taxing the rich more to give to the poor like in the folklore Robin Hood.

Ending the morally bankrupt, outdated & unquestionably abusive "war on marijuana" would easily shift enough money from "Peter to pay Paul." #boom

Furthermore to gain even more money to help expand social security, medicare and medicaid programs = we take the Colorado approach and legalize & tax marijuana for those +21 ... (sorry, kids, but no pot for you until you're old enough to get totally wasted on alcohol like your hypocritical parents & lawmakers!)

Gays

Like my views on the-free-will to do "good" drugs responsibly (despite the moral outrage of zealots that have been enculturated to bully, bash & discriminate against these things they perceive as deviant) = if you're gay, please practice safe sex so you don't injure yourself and or others.

+ I hope you find what you're looking for and are surrounded by a loving, safe environment. 

 Immigration

 I am 1st generation Italian = my father came to this country at 7 yrs of age.
Of course, unless you're truly a Native American Indian, your people immigrated to this continent. Could things be done better? Probably. 


To Be or Not to Be in the GOP?

"Deviance like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's not the act itself that deviant. It's the definition people give to the act which makes it deviant." http://www.collegetermpapers.com/TermPapers/Soc/A_Discussion_of_Labelling_Theory.html 

I do not like to rush things and do knee-jerk-reactions before gathering all the facts. So before I change my voter registration status to Democrat, I will sit back at center ice and watch the game play out a little more = looking for the talent on the team I feel comfortable cheering for in 2016. 

In conclusion, to quote from the epic speech from #Oscars2014 oscar winner Matthew McConnaughey, "all right all right all right."

100 yr old man's glass eye: i sleep like a baby = my new poem BIG2014





sleep was what he did. sleeping like a baby
waking up on the floor. blisters on his fingers.
he had been playing guitar in the basement.
grabbing water, & treats for the dog, his bed
was the next step for where he wanted to be.
in his bed he again slept like a baby boy.
morning came, coffee was made, extra layers
placed on his body as this March 1st was cold.
finishing up his walk he ran into the 100 yr old
man the inquisitor of early morning intentions
in the world of mostly meaningless talk and
BIGdummy actions. He shared how Fri he saw
an accident. A rushed mom in an SUV couldn't
wait to get around him while he paralleled and
well she got around him all right & while turning
onto Locust Street hit an innocent woman that
was only trying to use the crosswalk to walk across
the street = BAAAMM!!! She was attacked by
the SUV in a rush (to get to somewhere important,
he guessed) & she flew a good five foot in the air.
100 yr old man's glass eye is like a magnify glass
that has a software program, early proto-type.
he has information. he is wise & knows "their"
talk is really cheap & oft infested with bad bugs.
old man knows a lot. space dust that contains life ...
Old man doesn't think much of most men & ill intent
leading even more grotesque zealot beliefs & corrupt acts
to shut-you-up = especially if you have conflicting views.
He saw the old man was in a generous mood so he sought
some information he had a hunch on but led him there by
using the conversation the old man was expressing then.
Using the accident he witnessed and how it was caused by
rushing to get somewhere but he operated slowly by nature
allowing him to see the very patterns everyone could see but
few rarely ever do and especially take it to the next level as a
form of free inspiration for poetry, art, music, business, everyday.
"Yeah, just like the patterns of a flock of birds ... like homing pigeons.
You know of the Holy Wars? Back east Christians fending off Muslims
a long time ago? Those riches from those wars. The ley lines that have
a sacred energy. Often correlating with sacred land -symbolic structures-
maybe even built commercially there because of its special energies. ..
Space Needle in Seattle? Natural Gas is buying up land for hidden riches?"
He was glad he stood around & talked with him for he got his dismissal ...
"Don't worry about anything, poet, except the creator and the sun. You're
all right. ... just the sun and the creator. Don't worry about a thing but that."

life boiled-down to one video clip: where would we be?


  • John Alan Conte Jr KV, Video cameras lends too much risk for sleazy interpretations & translations = for instance if i hand your lover a flower already plucked from its roots bought & paid for I would otherwise throw away ... Through your watching on video are you gonna tell me you know my intent?! What I am thinking like you have power to read my mind?! Your mind is the one interpreting the video footage and God knows your tree of logic and your intent! Ha ... You could easily write your own narrative & try & slander my good name for a paltry political agenda! For all I know you live to bash fat gays who smoke pot!

    You know that Kerouac line from On The Road--

    “the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”

    --As you get older doesn't that just sound like a bunch of manic addicts and people with personality disorders?

    I suppose I may be in a bit of a cynical mindset of late,LOL.
  • John Alan Conte Jr Ok, but what would the world be minus 5 beat writers & characters such as Jack, Neal Cassidy, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti?! What would rock & roll, San Francisco, Greenwich Village in NYC be like with out these characters "Howl" ... We surely wouldn't have Keenu
    Reeves starring in the film about a letter between beats called The Last Time I Committed Suicide or City Lights BookStore or the movie the Matrix Topanga Canyon Brooke S. referred to in her awesome true reality (& romantic) reply.
    A world without the real poets would be all like black & white TV and some would love to live in that Pleasantville but not me = I like dreaming in color (dreaming, dreaming is free). Thanks for the stimulating conversation J.W. ... Kinda talk in room 8 of Joshua Tree Inn

America's Equivalent to the "Arab Spring" = why privileged Americans need punished?

If you query this in Google search = here is what comes up. (JimMorrison’s Living Theatre escapades provided in a dream to pose this question. Insert sound of passing over Eagle now)

Q: people in public places who magically seem to know they are on camera where someone is trying to successfully play connect the dots for their own political narrative that they feel arrogant enough to enforce like a “spring” to punish the privileged
( “accidentally” had a “typo” in my first query & misspelled #privileged = BTW, veranda is my font for this post i'm playing a hunch and using it)

BIGnewmedia #prediction: competing U$A cities soon ...

In an effort for competing cities who need dollars that visiting tourists bring and also dollars that people wanting to move & live in a city bring U$A cities soon will be saying ...

"you can either go to Pittsburgh where 22 people died in just a few weeks from bad black market cheap stamp bags of heroin ...


a city with plenty of crappy black market drugs ruled by stoned teen aged death gangs ...


In Maryland, at least 37 people have died from the combined drugs, according to the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and in western Pennsylvania, authorities said they caused 22 deaths in recent weeks. In Rhode Island, 25 people have died from the laced heroin, and in Vermont state police have warned that pure fentanyl is being sold as heroin. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/17/killer-heroin_n_4802247.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009  

  ... hey but gambling and drinking are legal = so go ahead & visit Pittsburgh's casinos & drink til you puke all over the charming streets of historic South Side any given night 7 days a week ... 
their jail is located on prime riverview property downtown ...

Or you can visit & live in a place where we have good government regulated 100% organic recreation



... we're even passing out free Doritos with the new sane laws we just passed ...


The choice is yours .. don't be late. .. & above-all  remember to have fun & be safe!"

When Gossip Is a Commodity: what consequences for misleading investigation$

When gossip is your commodity you can always find employment with some "Ranger Rick" and their crusade to meet quotas and or carry out politically motivated targeting to try and silence an outspoken citizen(s) exercising life, liberty & the pursuit of #happy_ness that Ranger Rick's zealot like beliefs doesn't find charming for his crusade's public perception.

So when law enforcement base investigations off of "anonymous" informants / sources and they do nothing more than smear the good name of the #target and or, worse, like Nick Gillespie's outstanding courageously brave & honest reporting uncovers in his Reason Magazine (ReasonTV) piece = where an 80 year old man gets shot to death in the privacy of his own home by police who working hard to make a drug bust based on an "anonymous" informant who claimed they smelled drugs coming from the home (WTF?!) and somehow that was good enough for some doll to ruberstamp a search warrant which resulted in 0 drugs found and another innocent life ruined & wasted by the ever so epic failure that's now coming clear is the "holy war" for zealot "anti drug" law enforcement crusaders on its own citizens. All they need is a "suspicion."

Seriously?!

Reason is being suspicious of their tireless value(s) of suspicion.

So are there any consequences for misleading investigations that at the least smear the #target and waste tax payer money in doing so (it takes resources to relentlessly case someone looking for anything to upgrade a target to another "valued" level) and, then, worse #case scenario resulting in death(s) of a suspicious-less "priority" target?!

What?! Do you mean anonymous sources are not always accurate, truthful & can lead to wrongful investigations & even deaths?!..

"an anonymous informant, spearheaded the investigation." ...
