The Screaming Malcontent

The week in review 12.11.10 – 12.18.10

The cometary for this week is going to be short, justr don’t have a lot to say.

Haiti -

Damn tragic loss of life and destruction, My thoughts and prayers are with those folks, bad shit all to often happens to descent people. Please do what you can in support of the relief efforts. No don’t send food send cash.
I am fully aware that ‘charities’ are just as self serving and profit motivated as the next corporate pig walking around, but realistically it’s the only way to help. Although, if you have a plane, tons of goods and the right contacts feel free to fly your support down.
There were two comments this week that really pissed me off with regard to Haiti.

Pat Robertson; failed presidential candidate, failed Christian, failed human said that Haiti was, “cursed” by a “pact to the devil.” Which confuses me a bit. Granted, I’m not a Christian, nor am a theologian but I can’t grok the logic. If Satan made a bargain with the ancestors of current Haitians, wouldn’t the country be hugely profitable and not suffer calamity? He went on to say: “Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it.

” “They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil”. They said, we will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it’s a deal.”

So all of the Haitians made this deal, or was it only a few of them? Really, The devil said ‘OK, it’s a deal’? Um…how do you know this…oh wait is that hand gesture the Satanic Salute?
Seriously Mr. Robertson, (I will not call you Pastor) you are a fucking disgrace to Christians, a disgrace to your faith, a disgrace to decent people. Yeshua Ben Yosef called you and your ilk out and by name when he said “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Way to exemplify the namesake of your faith. Wonder how many fence sitters you managed to push away from the thought of God with your perverse and deluded vision of the Divine.
As I type this I can’t muster the fortitude to rail against Rush Limbaugh who in my opinion shares in most of the failings as the first son-of-Satan I mentioned, I don’t think he ever ran for prez though.
Limbaugh says:

“”The Haiti earthquake was made to order for Obama.”
“Obama will use Haiti to boost credibility with the light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”
Are you f-ing serious? Undoubtedly god instituted the quake and is causing untold suffering and countless dead because god gives a damn about our stupid institutions.

Banker Bullshit -

Lets get something straight, you don’t matter and neither do I. The only thing that matters in America is profit. Screw the fact that the Federal Government is slowly federalizing everything from cars to health care to banks, they are going to take your money so the wall street usurious thieves can profit no matter.
As long as the banker boys get their pocket change we can go to hell. Goldman, for example, is expected this week to disclose that it made $13 billion last year, while J.P. Morgan Chase last week said it made $11.7 billion. Tax payers gave them how much? If my math is right it comes out to about $812.34 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S.
