Obama, No, You Can’t

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Mr. President: I’m sure you realize that for the 2012 Presidential campaign you cannot use the same threadbare rhetoric which helped get you elected in 2008. “Yes, We Can” and “The Audacity of Hope” have lost the power they once held. Young voters, black voters, progressive voters and swing voters are no longer seduced by them. You need something new. So here are a few suggestions: “This Time I Mean It” speaks directly to voter concerns about your willingness to fight for the people. “The Other Guy Is Worse Than Me” will no doubt also have a ring of truth to it. Then there’s “Don’t Blame Me—I Voted for McCain.” Those foregoing slogans probably need some fine-tuning, but here’s one I think is perfect for you: “The Audacity of Compromise.” Well, I’m sure you’ll come up with something. You have to. As it stands, you can no longer count on any of the groups that supported your Presidential bid last time around.

————————————————–

ONE NATION UNDER SEX

Via The Washington Post:

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt knows the true motivation of American politicians. Ready to feign surprise at the porn peddler’s revelation?

“There really is an all-powerful force that shaped our great nation,” Flynt writes. “That force is sex.”

In “One Nation Under Sex,” set for release in April, Flynt says he isn’t “out to dish gossip.” Rather, he wants “to add a new dimension to American history.”

“Other books have exposed the dirty laundry of historical figures and the steamy underbelly of American politics. We do that too, but we also explain how the sex lives of our national leaders affected elections, economics, international relations and even wars.”

How did the sex drives of our presidents affect the course of American history? Here are four examples from the book.

Alexander Hamilton
In an effort to discredit his political rival, vice president Thomas Jefferson leaked to the press that Treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton had had an affair. This threatened Hamilton’s credibility and his goal of “bringing the Industrial Revolution to the United States.” Hamilton addressed his infidelity head on, preventing his “sex scandal from tainting his economic program and impeding the nation’s entry into the Industrial Revolution.” See how far an eloquently worded apology will take you?

James Buchanan
In the chapter “Sex and the Civil War,” Flynt writes that Buchanan had a well-known 32-year love affair with Alabama Senator William Rufus King, resulting in “tragic consequences for our nation.” King was adamantly pro-slavery. As the nation was breaking up toward the end of his presidency, Buchanan took his lover’s position on the issue. “Throughout his career, Buchanan bent over backward to help the proslavery cause…His decisions make sense only if one makes the connection between his devotion to the Southern cause and his romantic relationship with King.”

Franklin Roosevelt
His affairs boosted his self-confidence, which “was essential to his unique ability to rally the country during the Great Depression and World War II. By pumping up FDR, [his mistresses] Lucy and Missy did the nation and world a great service.”

Abraham Lincoln
“Was Abraham Lincoln gay or in the terms of his day, a ‘sodomite’ or ‘bugger’? We cannot definitely say…But it is reasonable to assume that a man who felt trapped by the sexual and social mores of the his time would have possessed an added sympathy for the enslaved.”


Let’s Fix Campaign Financing

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Everyone agrees our political system is totally corrupt. The rich and powerful are buying politicians like cotton candy at a carnival. What’s happening in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, New Jersey and at least 11 other states is proof of that. The solution is obvious: campaign finance reform. Get the money out of politics. Make it illegal for any corporation, union, entity or individual to contribute to a candidate or a political action committee (PAC) in any way whatsoever. Let the government finance each candidate with a sum designated for the particular office being contested. While we’re at it, let’s shorten the campaign period to something reasonable: say six weeks to two months. This would be easy to accomplish if there was the will to do it. But our politicians are so corrupt, so contemptible, it’s unlikely to ever happen. Given that, we will keep ceding power and control to the ruling class.

Larry Flynt to Anthony Weiner

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

FROM THE DESK OF LARRY FLYNT

June 16, 2011

Anthony Weiner

Mr. Weiner:

After having learned of your sudden and compelled resignation from your Congressional post, I would like to make you an offer of employment at Flynt Management Group, LLC in our internet group. As a Congressman, you are known for your intensity and perseverance. I believe that this attitude, combined with your service in the House of Representatives’ Committee on Energy and Commerce, will make you a valuable asset to this corporation.

This offer is not made in jest. To show our sincerity, Flynt Management Group, LLC is willing to pay twenty percent more than your former Congressional salary, ensuring that your medical benefits would be equal to what you were previously receiving. While you will have to relocate to our corporate offices in Beverly Hills, California, we would pay for all relocation costs.

Again, I cannot emphasize enough the genuineness of this offer. We are a serious corporation which, as you know, has been heavily involved in the political environment of this country for over thirty-five years. Our key missions have consistently included the crucial fight of battling hypocrisy within the federal and state governments. Flynt Management Group, LLC and Hustler Magazine have been dedicated to decades of serious political commentary. Just as we do not undertake insincere political crusades, we do not make insincere job offers.

While this employment opportunity is being offered in large part due to your qualifications and clear passion for making a change, I feel that your unfortunate resignation is a prime example of unfounded political pressure and the hypocrisy that has invaded democracy in Washington D.C. I hope you will sincerely consider this offer, and I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Larry Flynt

THE PROBLEM WITH GUNS

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

People who know my history might be surprised that I am not antigun. However, I do have some concerns on the subject. The right wing says guns don’t kill people; people do. That’s bullshit. People with guns kill people. On the left the basic argument is that only the Army and law enforcement should have guns. That’s bullshit too, although obviously not all people should have all kinds of weapons. For example, most of us would agree that bazookas and rocket launchers are off the table for the average citizen. And that the mentally ill should not have guns at all. The argument gets a little trickier when it comes to things like extended clips. I’m against them, but I might soften my position if we’re really having a serious debate. So far, however, the Republicans and the NRA have shown no interest in addressing the problem of the mentally ill possessing firearms. Until they do, I’ll maintain my anticlip position.

WHY I AM DONATING $50,000 TO WIKILEAKS’ DEFENSE FUND

Monday, April 11th, 2011

Let’s get something straight: Julian Assange is a journalist.You can argue that he is not practicing journalism the way you think it should be practiced—releasing classified U.S. State Department documents—but he’s a journalist nonetheless.  And for many of us he’s a hero.

I’m sick and tired of the politicians and political pundits treating this man as if he were a criminal. If Wiki Leaks had existed in 2003 when George W. Bush was ginningup the war in Iraq, America might not be in the horrendous situation it is today, with our troops fighting in three countries(counting Pakistan) and the consequent cost in blood and dollars.

Here’s what I know about censorship: The free flow ofinformation is ultimately less harmful than the impeded flow of information. A democracy cannot exist without totalaccess to the facts.What’s wrong is that a concerned outsider—anAustralian publisher, not our own vaunted mainstreampress—exposed the secret documents. For that, Assange has been hit with dubious criminal charges because hiscondom failed during a sexual encounter.  Give me a break. Julian Assange should not face a prison sentence. We should have a ticker tape parade for him.


PRESIDENT OBAMA:YOU ARE TOAST

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

The people who supported you in 2008 wanted someone who would fight for them. They wanted real healthcare reform, real banking reform, an end to the expensive wars we’re waging and the restoration of our civil liberties. On issue after issue you’ve caved. Renewing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy is the final straw. This was a fight you could have won without suffering any collateral damage—and you didn’t even throw a punch.

I was delighted when you were elected. Now, like many other Americans, all I see is an ineffectual wimp. If you want a second term in office, you must win back the respect of the American people. From my vantage point it’s hard to see how you can do that.

THE REPUBLICANS’ BIG LIE

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

The GOP strategy for winning in November is to blame the Obama Administration for the mess made by George W. Bush: the devastated economy and two wars. Should the Republicans succeed in hoodwinking the American people, the Democrats could lose the House and possibly even the Senate. Because of GOP partisanship, that will result in a Congressional gridlock this nation has never seen before.

Check the facts: The Republicans spent us into near-bankruptcy while lowering taxes for the rich. They also lied us into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, costing American lives and trillions of dollars. Given the foregoing, I think President Obama deserves a chance to fulfill his agenda. Please consider that when voting for your representatives this November

Throw The Bastards In Jail!

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Larry Flynt
from HUSTLER Magazine November 2010

If nothing else, the oil-drilling disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, in conjunction with the economic disaster caused by Wall Street, tells us one thing with certainty: Unless the CEOs of companies that have devastated this country are held personally responsible for their actions, nothing is going to change.

People who through negligence or indifference cause death or harm to others, whether it be economic or physical, should no longer be allowed to hide behind a corporation’s protective wall. If the CEO of British Petroleum, Goldman Sachs or whatever company is put in jail, his successors will think long and hard before trying to save a buck by taking shortcuts or bending the law.
