Barack Obama announced today that he would seek a lifting of the moratorium of hunting whales to the shock of every environmentalist out there. This further proves that the country is being run by fascist powers, a desire of the corporatist sector since the 30's when they attempted to overthrow FDR and replace him with Gen. Smedley Butler. This is also the most under reported story of the century. For those doubters, video still exists of Butler's address to Congress and FDR's own notes of how he got backing for the New Deal by threatening the elites with treason if they didn't comply. On a side note, I also believe this proves once and for all the FDR did NOT know about Pearl Harbor before hand although the possibility still exists that others in the government may have. If FDR was a corporatist, the elite would have had no reason to overthrow him.
Back to Obama. Only three countries practice whaling: Iceland, Norway and Japan. The rest of of us are civilized enough to know that killing animals of very high intelligence if probably not a good idea. It's cruel and unnecessary as there are plenty of stupid animals to kill and eat. Hello fish and birds. Patrick Ramage of the International Fund For Animal Welfare called the act a "mind numbingly dumb idea." Under the act, whales have begun to rebound from dangerously low numbers due to overfishing. Obama claims that loopholes are allowing the three countries whaling much greater leeway than the current program, a theory discounted by pretty much everyone not in the Obama administration. I would agree that if the moratorium has loopholes then close the loopholes, don't add new ones. This will look bad no matter how he spins it and with his idiotic lets drill speech three weeks before the greatest oil spill in American history happened, he's losing the left every day. But he's not of the left. As a matter of fact, there is no left voices anymore. There's right and wing nut right. Dems everywhere should be concerned that much like moderate Republicans, your views are being left behind. A new party is necessary and soon.
Also in the category of Holy Crap WTF did she say? category comes the pres core's own Helen Thomas. With her recent "All Jews should go back to Poland or Germany," hate speech, I think the time may have come for her to give it up and retire all ready. You're like a hundred. Go to Boca and sit on a beach like others your age. The Jews aren't going anywhere. Period. That discussion has come and gone. The acts by Turkey lately should be condemned for trying to start a war with Israel and the rest of the world. They have not backed down form threats, demands of an apology and even the fact that the next flotilla may be accompanied by warships or even the PM himself. This has to stop. If you want help for Gaza there's a right way and wrong way. And this is certainly the wrong way.
