16% Unemployment, Magoffin Co Creeps Toward Depression

5/24/2012. Nobody voted in primaries, 88% of Kentuckians are not part of this failed democracy, this failed state, and the jobless rate continues to climb... when the jobless rate isn't totally accurate, it only measures those who apply for unemployment benefits... those who have exhausted their benefits are no longer considered unemployed, and those who aren't looking for work, aren't counted, and the elderly, and college students aren't counted, so it's not the most accurate number. In fact, you can assume it's higher, but how much higher, who knows ... But somebody should have a plan, if the public officials don't, then there should be a citizen working on some ideas for the future of Magoffin County, if they want this county to pull outta this Depression, which seems to be hitting this county the hardest. And hey, Kentucky, Joe Biden is a white guy, you outta be able to relate to him. He was poor working class at one time. And he's white, so that means something to you. Democrats aren't doing their jobs, but Republicans are just plain wicked.

25% is Great Depression levels.

We basically have to choose between the lesser of the two evils.

U see how crazy the media went over with the "uncommitted vote"... if lots of folks voted 3rd Party candidate, like a Green Candidate, that would raise a ton of hoopla too. That isn't a victory, but shows that the people of Kentucky have had enough. Vote Green Party 2012. Don't vote for the lesser of evils. Either way, you get evil. I'd rather vote for somebody I want, and not get it, then vote for something I dont want, and get it. I feel good when I finish voting. Those who earned my vote, gets my vote. I hold out... that's where the power in a democracy lies... dont hand your votes out, just hold them back.. and choice wisely. Chomsky likes Jill Stein. I like Rosanne Barr, but I'm sure Stein is good too, and there's some others that I haven't read up on... but when they choose their candidate, there's where my vote is going.

..didn't the media also tell us that the primary
for presidents in Kentucky is a laughing joke?
Oh they didn't? Then go figure, how many in this
fair commonwealth voted for Rick Perry, Rick
Santorium, Newt Gringwich or Ron Paul? Well, be
darned, they weren't in the race on our primary
were they? Actually, it doesn't matter anyway
because with the electoral college system, our
input on the national scene is hardly noticable.
Talking of the 'uncommitted vote' being a 'third
party movement threat (or promise whichever), we
were faced with a muslim or a mormon, like it
or not, much of Kentucky is part of the Bible
Belt and neither muslims nor mormons use the
Bible as their Spiritual Guide, they have the
Koran or the Book of Mormon as the basis to their
belief...this could well be one of the small
reasons that we saw so many 'uncommitted vote',
I know it was mine!

Actually, Ron Paul is still running, he simply isnt wasting money on advertising this late into the race. He's putting it towards getting rid of corrupt party leadership and trying to get delegates that will vote for him elected.

I'm all for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul has about as much chance at winning the Whitehouse
in November 2012 as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest!
He knows that and we know that; if anyone in Kentucky or another
state with little or no say in presidential elections thinks
that Ron Paul would recognize them if he was to be elected must
be as delusional as those supporters who are chasing all those
illusional delegates from now to November!

OBAMA ALL THE WAY....Kentucky will really be hurting if he don't win..!!

The whole country is already hurting because he won in 2008,
but don't worry, what ever good he did for you he will still
keep doing it, the walking dead, the latinos crossing the
border by the truck loads, the dead beats drawing welfare
checks...yep, he'll win again, you can bet on it, the cards
are stacked against the country and Kentucky's coal fields
for sure!

The Catholic Church has declared every major war in Europe for thousands of years. The Catholic Church brought about the Russian Czars, Mussolini, and Hitler. Christianity brought us the SPANISH INQUISTION, where if you didn't swear your allegiance to the King, and to God (funny how those two seems to get mixed up), then you were murdered. All religion is dumb. There's no invisible man in the sky looking and smiling down on all of us. That's hocus pocus. That's like Haitian VOODOO. Religion is just about brainwashing, Religion brought about 9/11, Nat Turner, and the Crusades, the Iraq War, and Palestinian concentration camp (seems the Jews are now the Nazis), and now possible war with Iran. Iran does not threaten the US, but we gonna poke around over there ? Why ? To defend Israel, whose starting many wars of aggression... and there was the riots against the Blacks in Israel... not a good look religion. There's more radical CHristianity around here than radical Muslims... more radical Christians in Amerika, than radical muslims in Iran. Believe that. "Bible Belt"... and yeah, Jesus said to care about hte poor, but instead, "Christians" built huge churches, dont give money to the poor, but to the pastor, for his house, and farm, and the show he puts on every week, but POVERTY ? Nah... it's here, lots here in Magoffin Co (named after racist Confederate Gov, who sided with the wrong side of history, and had to resign as a result), and when poverty has been around just as long as the Churches, I gotta believe that "Christians" dont care for the poor. They need the poor to work the stupid jobs, and and therefore, the Churches are actually responsible for it. Just a hunch, but how can u have an institution here declaring the poverty is wrong, and here in Kentucky, all over, poverty is institutionalized ? That shouldnt be. We dont need hypocrites, liars, superstition, tyranny, or ignorance. Those are the Devils society needs to stand up against. I repeat: no more hypocrites, liars, ignorance, superstition, and tyranny. We need more Jesus Christs, and less Christians.

I forgot the biggest, and longest lasting legacy of religion in Amerika: the Ku Klux Klan. They too called themselves "Christians", when they were crucifying lots of Black Jesus Christs in Amerika, with no sense of irony, or hypocrisy. We need to be honest. Church is a social place, where you go to collectively suffer under god delusion... it doesn't have a structure where it helps others... it's meant to exclude others, not include. That's the power of ex-communication of the Catholic Church... and the WASPs, it was them who were attacking the Germans and the Irish... so for some "whites", I guess German whites and Irish white wasn't white enough for them... and when no European person is literally white... so I guess the definition changes as time goes on...

Kentucky will crash and burn without Obama... without the social programs, lots of poor people will have nothing to eat, no chance to live, at all... might as well become serfs, and find some Land owning Lord to work for, and hope ur Massah is benevolent, when the Republicans get control. The Republicans ruined the Amerikan economy... they nearly blew up the world in 2008 ! No, dont give them the keys... dont let them do it. They will side with the private corporate tyrannies, and for public officials, and against the public everytime. That's like their mantra.

But you are right that Obama has NO chance in Kentucky... but dont think Mitt Romney will give us any of his time, or talk about the issues Kentuckians need to work on... he'll take us from granted, just like every Presidential candidate does... b/c we are a SAFE STATE, meaning it's safely Mitt Romney's. Neither campaigns will spend any time here, and in terms of politics and power, that leaves Kentucky out in the dust... but that's the spot we're used to being. If u poor, u know u already on ur own.

Again: I'd rather vote for somebody I want, and not get it, than to vote for somebody I dont want, and get it. Choosing lessor of the evils is still choosing Evil. Would u vote for Hitler, or Mussolini ? Voting lesser of the two evils is selling urself short... vote for somebody u believe in. Vote Ron Paul, if he runs 3rd Party, I dont care. I do care that Kentucky's problems get solved, and all I see is posturing, and very little ideas being shared, talking politics should be water cooler talk. It just should.

Actually Ron Paul has a damn good chance of winning, despite what the TV news networks babble. The TRUE delegate count is 580~ RP and 600 for MR some of those for Romney are actually bound to him for the first round of votes which if these numbers hold steady the first round is nothing. The second round of voting however releases all the bound voters to vote freely. Now guess who has a lot of bound voters who must vote for MR in round one. Guess who doesn't have bound voters that will stick with him? Thats right, Ron Paul the only candidate worth your vote.

Ron Paul has no chance of winning. That's why he dropped his name off the ballot in Kentucky: http://onlineathens.com/national-news/2012-05... Ron Paul is like Nader, and Newt, and some others, who understands the megaphone that running for office gives a person, so they use that power. Ron Paul won't win, but him staying in, shows how the primary elections are a farce, and that it all comes down to counting delegates. Good for Ron Paul. Still won't win, but will be a presence at the Convention, and if Paul can get Romney to adopt some of his ideas, then Ron Paul "wins"... that's the strategy, that's what's going. Ron Paul has no illusions about winning the Presidency, but he does understand public opinion, and how running for office amplifies your voice. And none of them cares about Kentucky... dont fool urself. Election for national politics is a waste in Kentucky. Run for City Council, or Dogcather, or Magistrate. Get into local government. That's where change is going to happen. There is liberator. The people have to liberate themselves.

This country is in so much trouble that even
the trouble makers don't want to talk about
it because they are afraid they might get
implemented into some of it. Jesus Christ and
man's government was pretty well set straight when
Jesus said,'...give unto Ceasar that is Ceasar's
and unto God that is God's...', Jesus is not all
that concerned about governments nor doctrines of
man, but He will bring His Kingdom with Him on
His return and it will be ever lasting..about
this Government Jesus will be interested in for
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. What
the Catholic Church and other man made rules and
regulations thought in our history will have no
bearing on what we find in our future.

The Wyte Protestants attacked the Germans and Irish when they came to Amerika, b/c they weren't "white" enough... and Jesus was killed b/c of politics, and religion is political as hell... started so much war, and so much hate... like against gay people... who cares what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own rooms ? Who cares ?

I am not getting into a ruckus with you or anyone else
over 'what consenting adults do'...I know what I will
or will not do and that is all that concerns me. As far
as the 'Who Cares?' question God cares according to His
Word, but that's not my territory, I'm not God, I just
read and try go by His Word as much as I can. You and
everyone else, including myself were given free will
and with that free will, we all shape our own destiny.
We humans didn't make the deal, but we will abide by it
one way or the other.
