First Edition
Welcome
to the first edition of the newly titled blog, “America’s RAW Deal.” “RAW” is
WAR spelled backwards, where war should go so peace can go forward!
Peace
has NEVER gone forward in America! If you doubt it, please see my book, “America’s
Oldest Professions: Warring and Spying” at http://tinyurl.com/n9ew856heck . I
spent about a decade doing the research to write it, and I did not rely on
school books or the mainstream media that give a varnished history of our
nation.
Or
you can see what people like David Swanson, co-founder of World Beyond War (http://worldbeyondwar.org/ ) said about the book: “This deeply moral,
highly readable, and urgently necessary book, which provides a wealth of new
information even to a reader like myself who writes on similar topics, takes us
from the birth of the United States to the Barack Obama presidency.“ Or what a WWII Veteran said about it: “Dr.
Brumback gives us a penetrating exposé of an America in the late stages of an
addiction. The toll of death, destruction and human misery from its habitual
warring and spying is mounting.”
I
will be posting many more blogs about the RAW Deal, but since war is so
depressing, for this first edition I will start by quoting some humor about America’s politicians,. They are,
after all, partly responsible for America’s endless warring.
What Some American Humorists/Comedians Said About Politicians
- I
am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and
politics a
man's reasoning powers are not above the
monkey's. ~Mark Twain
-The
political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food
for
laughter, they are an entire banquet. ~ Mark
Twain
-A
politician should have three hats. One for throwing into the ring, one
for talking
through, and one for pulling rabbits out of if
elected. ~Carl Sandburg
-We
have the best Congress money can buy. ~Will Rogers
-The
trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected. ~Will Rogers
-There
ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators.
~Will
-Everything
is changing; people taking comedians seriously and politicians as a joke.
~Will Rogers
-There's
no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for
you. ~Will Rogers
-Hell,
I never vote for anybody, I always vote against. ~W.C. Fields
-Under
democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that
the
other party is unfit to rule - and both
commonly succeed, and are right. ~H.L. Mencken
-I
think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.
~James Thurber
-You
can fool too many of the people too much of the time. ~James Thurber
-I'm
proud to be paying taxes but I could be just as proud for half the money.
~Arthur
Godfrey
-No
one party can fool all of the people all of the time; that’s why we have two
parties.
~Bob
Hope
-Clock,
jock and crock: Big Ben, Joe Namath and a candidate's campaign promises.
~Johnny Carson
-When asked for his ID George Washington whipped out a quarter. ~George
Carlin
-If
God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~Jay Leno
-Crime
does not pay ... as well as politics. ~Alfred E. Newman
