Josh Duggar: 19 Stones and Counting



Molestation bombshell highlights Duggar family hypocrisy
We Need Condoms

Josh Duggar has proven that gays are a danger to little kids, and that gays will cause floods, the change in the planetary orbit, Oh wait a minute...Josh Duggar endangered kids, namely his brainwashed sisters, and he came out as a homosexual didn't he? No...Well what did the paragon of Christian virtue do?

"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends," Josh, 27, said in a statement posted Thursday on the family's Facebook page. "I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling."


So remember that robocall that Michelle recorded throughout Arkansas? In the call, the “19 Kids and Counting” matriarch cult leader, 48, urged Fayetteville, Ark., residents to protest an anti-discrimination ordinance that would protect LGBT residents, the Washington Post reported at the time.

Are We Trying Too Hard To Convince You?
“I don’t believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls,” Michelle said in the recording. “I doubt that Fayetteville parents would stand for a law that would endanger their daughters or allow them to be traumatized by a man joining them in their private space.”
Michelle also claimed the ordinance was prioritizing the “preference” of an adult over the safety of children, something she claimed to be adamantly against.
“I still believe that we are a society that puts women and children first,” she stated near the end of the call.
Despite the emphasis on “males with child predator convictions,” the statements come off as extremely hypocritical after In Touch Weekly published police documents that allege Michelle and husband Jim Bob’s eldest son, Josh, 27, molested five girls, four of whom are believed to be his sisters, in the early 2000s.

After finding out about the incidents, Josh’s parents refrained from reporting their son to authorities for more than a year, instead sending him to a three-month-long Christian treatment program before he received a “stern talk” from Arkansas state trooper and family friend Joseph Hutchens, who is now behind bars for child pornography.
Want more turd on top of this turd sandwich? Josh Duggar was the ED of the homophobic Family Research Council,  which claimed in a 1999 publication that “one of the primary goals of the homosexual rights movement is to abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually recognize pedophiles as the ‘prophets’ of a new sexual order,” whatever that means...like screwing your little sisters?
After the cover up was blown, Josh gave an apology of sorts and said, “I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions,” he said. “I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life.” But I thought you were already a Christian! Not allowed to even kiss or hug until your wedding day, except for those times you went to 3rd base with your sisters.
For all the Christian apologists that take up for him like Huckabee, Rick Santorum and the other closet cases,  let me explain what this is and what this is not. This is NOT a mistake. It's a felony, punishable by prison time, just like murder. Just because the statute of limitations have run, doesn't make this any less of a crime. Are his sister any less victims just because they hide behind those blank smiles? Yes, the lights are on and no one is home.
Duggar Dad's Political Platform: Incest Should Be Punishable by Death Jim Bob and Michelle are criminally liable for child abuse because they knew they had a predator for a child and they chose not to protect their daughters and swept this all under the rug. Jim Bob ran for Senate and actually fixed his lips to say that incest should be punishable by death,  Josh remained very much alive, because this quote was from his 2002 failed Senate campaign and Josh molested his sisters in 2002-2003. 
They have a psychotic victim blaming way they teach girls about rape and sexual molestation. It's the girls responsibility because she had on a short dress and forgive the rapist, only the body was violated, not the soul type nonsense. 
Josh was never treated, and a stern talking to from a guy currently incarcerated for child pornography, yeah ok...I think we see a problem with this. I think we need to leave God and prayer out of this idiocy, because he was never involved in the first place. Personally, I think you are making God look extremely stupid to think he would ever cosign on a child molesting his sisters, and the parents knowing about it and not doing a thing to help the victims, all the while they profess to be the best Christians on the planet, while getting rich and notoriety. Skeletons this big don't stay in the back of the closet forever.

Cop Who Let Josh Duggar Off With Warning Says Jim Bob Downplayed Abuse
The Lights are On and No One is Home
I have a pocket full of stones to throw at this glass house built on lies, hypocrisy, drab wardrobes,  80's hair styles, selfishness, self righteousness, pride, pedophilia, incest, molestation, but thankfully gay free. There is no forgiveness when there is no contrition, no serious remorse. The Duggars are only sorry they lost their gravy train show and their ability to spawn  more stepford kids on live TV. These are the wellfare queens that conservatives bemoan, but because they use the "values" dog whistle and happen to have a lighter complexion than the stereotypical "crab legs" abuser, they get a pass. 
I say good riddance and hopefully TLC will get back to programming that will live up to the name of the channel, THE LEARNING CHANNEL, instead of this yokel brand, tea party know nothing "entertainment".

Artur Davis Returns to Alabama: Tail Between His Legs and Wants to be Mayor

Beard Alert!!!!
The lights have gone down, the cameras are off and people are no longer interested in what was once a promising Uncle Tom that bitterly switched parties, ran to Virginia, attempted to get a job with a loser presidential candidate, attempted to consult, and is now launching an "exploratory committee" to run for Mayor of Montgomery. Here is the thing with Mr. Davis...he doesn't need an exploratory committee in lieu of common sense. I don't have a Harvard degree, but I bet I can tell him without him spending his money that he is wasting his time, just like I would've told him back in 2010 when he ran the most idiotic gubernatorial campaign in history that he would lose. If he just has money that is burning a hole in his pocket, then he can send it to my car finance company and let's call it a day.
I'm Running For Mayor...Can I Count On Your Vote? "Don't Make Me Laugh"!!!!!!!!

Artur needs to understand that people in Alabama are low information on a lot of things such as tax reform, medicare, ACA, the lottery and they will be easily manipulated if "Jesus" is said enough times in a sentence by a political candidate. However, for all their shortcomings, they will never elect a blatant hypocrite into office. Being a centrist Democrat is fine, not being beholden to the shucking and jiving that one has to do to secure a democratic nomination in Alabama among the black churches is fine, but to condescend to them, ignore them, blame them and blame Obama for your loss is beyond dumb. He lost 2010 because he ran a piss poor campaign, read the climate of the political environment wrong, and behaved as if he already won the primary and was in the general already. The TEA Party was in it's frenzied infancy in 2010, and they were vehemently against Obama and anything that resembled Obama. Davis attended law school with Obama and seconded his nomination at the Democratic convention in 2008, so is there any surprise that he was subsequently linked to Obama? Did he really need an exploratory committee to tell him about that?
Obama really likes this haircut! I'm so cool...

After the folly of his gubernatorial campaign, he talked about running for Virginia State Senate, we see that didn't work...He worked for a law firm for about a year and then became a resident fellow at Harvard University’s Institute for Politics in the spring of 2012. He garnered support from the cluster fox crowd by pimping himself out campaigning for Romney and speaking at the Republican convention, being the token with a horrible hair cut, black  to counter the Democrat "token black". He got to speak on some tea party shows, got to be named on some imaginary Romney black people inroads committee with other psychotic token blacks like Allen West, that no member of the black community would ever take seriously or care about. You know to make the GOP seem less racist but only with a chocolate shell. Then realized that he bet on the wrong horse when the magic underpants man lost, took all his toys off the sand lot like a petulant 5 year old, to Virgina and vowed never to play in Alabama again. 

Until now...


Montgomery is still a heavily democratic city, with a popular Mayor, Davis is a Republican now and believes that one must overcome partisanship. "It’s a citywide vision for Montgomery,” Davis said. “To be a good mayor of Montgomery, you can’t be partisan. You have to represent both sides, all sides, and I would bring the same point of view.” He's delusional...the same point of view? which is to throw a tantrum when you lose, betray those that support you, then come slithering back when those in the big time fail to take you seriously. 

Non Partisan

Artur goes on to say, “I didn’t expect to be involved in politics again at all,” he said. “But where I think I can do the most good would be in public service, and the reason mayor of Montgomery came to my attention is it’s my hometown, one I have an enormous identification with, and the challenges there are exactly the challenges that propelled me into politics in the first place.” Don't make me laugh...that was a long time ago and you aren't that guy anymore. How about this...don't get involved with politics then? Do yourself and all of us a huge favor and stop now. Spare yourself and the fake wife the humiliation of yet another loss. Have some dignity please. But what am I saying, I am talking about Artur, Bendadict Arnold/ Brutus Davis. There are no principles, no honor, but just some lame angle to try and win at any cost and we all know that you are not a winner anymore. It's like he went to the Universal Studios school of political science and strategy. Someone that started with so much promise is just a spoiled brat with a weak handshake, a beard of a wife that comes out only for photo ops and no credibility. It's bad when Beyonce' with her 5th grade level book report/ love letter to Michelle Obama can do a half naked video for "Let's Move", then a week later sign a $50 million dollar deal with Pepsi and can still get more people interested in voting and elections than Artur Davis. And she knows nothing about nothing. Like literally...nothing. I would bet most people don't even know who he is or even cares.
My Hair is Sooooooo fly

Artur Davis is a gold fish in a shark costume who believed that he was shark, the only shark in the water in fact. Once he got in the ocean with the real sharks, he wanted to jump back in the bowl with the gold fish. At this point, we just need to flush him down the drain and let the sewer rats have a non partisan hack snack.

Why President Obama is a Dissapointment



"My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration." 

Hollow words from an administration that enjoys press censorship and a president much different in theory than in practice. In 2008, the world wanted to believe him when he admonished President Bush and then Senator Clinton for authorizing the Iraq war. He once stated that the Bush administration " put forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide." Yet Americans find themselves nearly six years later, listening to Obama as he tells them they "can't have 100% security and also then have 100% privacy" and that "[t]here are trade offs involved," the same trade offs he once promised them refuge from. Deja vu...

When he was elected in 2008, the electorate was seeking a reprieve from unnecessary war, interventionism and the "Bush Doctrine", blind patriotism, "freedom fries", almost weekly be headings of contractors, terrible insurgent violence in Iraq, rising gas prices and a horrific recession. Obama turned out to be the same type of foreign policy hawk as Bush/ Cheney and to believe any different is willful ignorance. He did escalate the war in Afghanistan, authorized drone attacks in Pakistan, and Guantanamo remains open, even after he swore it would be closed a year after he took office. 

Obama proves to be just another president, but that wasn't supposed to be the case when your candidacy is predicated on "change". How is continuing what your predecessor started change to believe in? He has stated numerous times that he is fighting for the middle class, but median incomes are going down. Where are the infrastructure jobs, you know the "shovel ready" jobs to get America back to work? Oh that was in that turkey 2009 stimulus bill where there were not so many shovel ready jobs funded.  Here are my main issues with the Obama presidency and what I call his major failures.

Let's talk about his caver in chief leadership style. Obama's style is a mediator that likes to listen to both sides and find common ground to come up with a viable solution. It's the college professor in him, I suppose. Unfortunately, you have a bunch of idiots that love to thug their way to action and impose their will on the entire nation in order to get re-elected. Thanks to Professor Obama trying to negotiate with political terrorists, we got the sequester, the down grading of our credit rating, government shut down, 6 months of  debate of the ACA which cost democrats the Majority in the Congress and gave birth to the dumbest bastards on the planet, the TEA Party. What he needs are war time advisors much like Bush, to control messaging and not allow his enemies to control the story for a full 6 months before he addresses an issue. Obama and his apologists seem to forget the zero sum game tactics of Bush era politics that takes presidential destruction the singular goal. Especially when they tell you repeatedly that is their sole goal...

Another major issue is Obama's love and expansion of our surveillance state. 
Obama criticized Bush mercilessly over 9/11 post surveillance to spy on American citizens.  But after entering office, Obama has done nothing but ramp up all forms of surveillance, from meta data capture to wiretapping to recording phone log information of American citizens. Considering the man was a Constitutional Law Professor, somewhere he must have learned about our Bill of Rights. But like all Presidents before him, once Presidential authority has been given, it won't be given back, no matter the circumstances. 

Obama loves drones and his hypocrisy about using them. 
Remember why people voted for Obama? He didn't vote for the Iraq war, he wasn't elected then, but that's details. McCain and Clinton did. Obama showed disgust at their votes to authorize military action in Iraq and thus won the anti- war crowd. But years later, he has let the anti war people down, by expanding the drone war. Since elected, he has launched more than 390 drone attacks, 8 times more than Bush. Obama pledged transparency, drone attacks would increase and that they would only be conducted when there was a "near certainty" that civilians would not be killed. What his non stop drone attacks does is create a virtual, xbox, PlayStation mentality of killing. Plus, it's a great recruiting tool for the next generation of terrorists all the more willing to strike at the "great Satan".

Obama failed to change the political culture in Washington.
I thought that was comical when he uttered those words about change back in 2008. The throngs of people fainted and swooned, some listened to his speeches as one would listen to a song on their Ipod. He promised during his election campaign to turn the page on ugly partisanship politics and pass an agenda that works for all American people.  On another occasion, he declared that "the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and anger that’s consumed Washington….To build a coalition for change that stretches through red states and blue states….We’re choosing unity over division." We can blame a few people for this...Republicans for just being implacable from the get go, but Obama did not say, "I will change the culture, if the Republicans let me." Second, Obama's promise was impossible and a delusional wish, to think that he can get people with political agenda's beholden only to their constituents for the next election cycle to work for the good of everyone is insane. That's not politics, that's benevolence from Mother Theresa. Third, Republicans claim Obama did not reach out to them in the beginning when he was pushing for a stimulus package at the beginning of his presidency. True, he really didn't have to consult them because he had control of the house and congress, but still, it caused an atmosphere of rancor, distrust and political poison. When the Democrats lost one chamber, it made passing any legislation near impossible. 

Obama handles Scandals badly. 
The IRS review of political orgs, Justice seizure of the AP's phone records, and surveillance of the NSA are a few examples. The white house gave inconsistent and shifting explanations. Sure we can say it's not him directly, but once he knows about it, his explanations are just plain dumb. 

Obama isn't a liberal or moderate, he is a conservative. More like a neo- con to be fair to actual conservatives. There are several examples, such as rights to habeus corpus to detainees, torture, the Patriot Act, etc...I will compare what Bush did to what Obama did. 

 Bush suspended terrorism suspects’ right to habeas corpus. By branding them “unlawful enemy combatants” and by imprisoning them in Guantánamo Bay, his administration argued that they are not protected by the Constitution or by the Geneva Conventions, and can be imprisoned indefinitely without evidence or charges. The Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that Guantánamo Bay detainees do have the right to habeas corpus.

Candidate Obama said...

A constitutional scholar with a law degree from Harvard, Obama argued strongly against the Bush administration’s disregard for civil rights, calling them “the essence of who we are”: “As a parent, I can also imagine the terror I would feel if one of my family members were rounded up in the middle of the night and sent to Guantánamo without even getting one chance to ask why they were being held and being able to prove their innocence. … By giving suspects a chance – even one chance – to challenge the terms of their detention in court, to have a judge confirm that the government has detained the right person for the right suspicions, we could solve this problem without harming our efforts in the war on terror one bit.”

President Obama did...
Shortly after assuming office, Obama appealed a district court ruling that granted prisoners in Afghanistan the right to challenge the legality of their detention, adopting the legal argument straight from the Bush DOJ. This was well before his political opponents exerted public pressure to this effect. There is little or no evidence against a significant portion of U.S. detainees held on suspicion of terrorism, and many are known by the administration to be innocent.  In May 2010, Obama won the case in a DC Circuit Court of Appeals. 
Standing in front of the original Constitution at the National Archives in May 2009, Obama introduced a staggering new expansion of executive power: In addition to using military tribunals, the administration would now retain the right to indefinitely hold detainees deemed dangerous, even if they were known to be innocent of any crime, without charges, and without their day in either a court or a military tribunal. This was the first time in U.S. history that the executive branch asserted the right to imprison people indefinitely on suspicion that they might commit a crime in the future.
In 2006, Bush and many high-ranking officials in his administration stated publicly that they want to close down Guantánamo. The facility had become a PR disaster for the U.S., due to torture, homicides, and its very reason for existing, which was to escape legal oversight. There was, however, never any backtracking by the Bush administration on the legality of the practices in Guantánamo.

One of Obama’s first executive orders was to shut down Guantánamo (which Bush had also promised to do), along with secret CIA prisons abroad.  Obama’s strategy from the start, however, was to move Guantánamo detention practices elsewhere while continuing to argue for their legality. He was denied funding by the Senate to transfer Guantánamo detainees — into continued indefinite detention without legal rights — to a prison complex in Illinois, dubbed “Gitmo North.” The administration was more successful with the Bagram Detention Center: In May 2010, Obama won his case at the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, making Bagram – infamous for its own cases of torture and homicide – a new legal black hole for the administration.  This prompted eight major civil liberties and human rights groups to sign a joint letter opposing the entire closure. Guantánamo has still not been closed, long after Obama’s self-imposed deadline of January 2010. On March 8, 2011, Obama issued a new executive order, formally codifying the permanent role of the Guantánamo Bay facility in the administration’s policy of indefinite detention, and as the location for military tribunals. 

The U.S. PATRIOT Act, signed into law by Bush after the September 11 attacks and widely criticized as unconstitutional, gave the president unforeseen powers to monitor phone conversations and email exchanges, and to access personal files such as medical and financial records. It also gave law enforcement and immigration authorities greater powers to detain and deport immigrants at their own discretion. The PATRIOT Act also vastly expanded the use of “national security letters” by the FBI (and reportedly also the CIA and DOD). These are documents that can be issued by the agency without the approval of a judge, mandating the recipients to submit data and records pertaining to other individuals (such as clients or patients), and barring them from disclosing to anyone, including their lawyer, that they received such a letter.

In October 2009, Obama joined the GOP in pushing for the renewal of key provisions of the PATRIOT act, and of the law as a whole in 2010. After getting rid of the existing, inadequate protections of civil liberties included in the bill, and rejecting all proposed reforms aimed to protect civil liberties, the Senate Judiciary Committee, including nearly all of its Democrats, voted to pass the law at the express urging of the president. Many Democrats had vehemently condemned the law during Bush’s presidency. In July 2010, the Obama administration began to pressure Congress to rewrite the PATRIOT Act so as to give the FBI the right to access any individual’s Internet activity records without court oversight. In May 2011, a bipartisan effort by the leadership of both parties pushed through another 4-year extension of the law. The effort was spearheaded by Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, both vocal opponents of the law during Bush’s presidency. Meanwhile, some Democratic senators have voiced concerns about the administration’s interpretation of the PATRIOT Act, which they claim contradicts the letter of the law and further expands its scope, based on a legal theory which the White House insists is “a secret” from the public.

Bush hiked the nation’s military spending back to Reagan-era levels, and took the country into two catastrophic wars, one of them under false pretenses and in violation of international law. In a historically bad economic situation, incomparable to that of 2002 , Obama has surpassed Bush and and Reagan in defense spending, with the largest combined budget for the military since World War II. These hikes have been accompanied by constant, misleading statements about “cuts” in the Pentagon’s budget. Meanwhile, Obama has signaled imminent cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid  Obama has hiked the spending on, and use of, Special Operations forces, secretly deployed them to 75 countries, and extended de facto “secret wars” to Somalia and Yemen.

He extended Bush tax cuts through 2012, that benefited the wealthiest 95% of the country in order to extend unemployment benefits. Hardly a fair trade..He said that the tax cuts would create jobs, he was against NAFTA before he was for it and a crackdown on whistle blowers and journalists. Let's not mention he continues to use the ridiculous "state secrets privilege" started by Bush, which basically is a request to exclude certain evidence if it can be harmful to national security. The Bush legal team introduced a radical reinterpretation of this evidentiary rule, making it serve to bar any legal action against the Government, throwing out entire cases involving torture, arbitrary detentions, and warrantless spying on Americans. Immediately after Obama took office, his administration and the DOJ under Eric Holder adopted exactly the same legal arguments that the Bush administration had made, and have used them to discard unwanted cases against the Government. Obama has successfully continued to use the state secrets privilege to block any scrutiny of torture, arbitrary detentions, warrant less spying on Americans, extraordinary renditions, or of his assassination program.

I could literally go on and on about this...but you get the point...

With our permanent war on terror that gets pushed to the side due to Kimye, Beyonce', Jay-Z, which ignorant whore got kicked in the face on __________(fill in the blank reality show),  and now Dre's Beats by Dre nonsense, the Constitutional lawyer that sits in the oval office has expanded on the worst of the Bush administration and he has no one to blame for his failures but himself.

For all that drank his kool aid, he failed you and he should apologize every day. Life is like a box of chocolates, either it's full of cherry cordials that you won't eat, or someone has already eaten the candy and all you have is the aroma of chocolate. That is  the Obama Presidency, an empty box full of the aroma of what could have been.

Open Letter to the GOP: Here is Why You Lost



Dear Republicans,



Today a woman returned a pair of shoes to the shoe department. Thinking she was being a typical fickle female, she provided her so called rationale. "Since Obama was re-elected, I'm not sure that I'm going to have any more money and the government is spending too much money." As if Obama wasn't President 3 years ago, or when ever she bought the shoes.  This is the logic of the Republican Party...


Let this absorb into your small minds: Barack Obama was re-elected President of the United States of America on November 6th, 2012, and the world is still spinning on it's axis. For two whole days, people have been mourning the Romney/ Ryan loss and have questioned what went wrong. Everything was in place for a Republican win of the White House and a possible Senate pickup. There was a vulnerable president, a struggling economy, a still too high unemployment rate, a Supreme Court decision that allowed carte blanche in corporate campaign spending, and a moderate GOP candidate from a blue state with a background in business ... with perfect hair. Republicans could not have scripted a better scenario in the lead-up to Tuesday's election.

However, following an election in which absolutely no Republican momentum was capitalized on, it is apparent that the GOP has much deeper concerns than an inability to win swing states. Republicans lost women, Latinos, and young people by double-digits. Why? Well, there is a very simple explanation.









1. The Tea Party

The tea party advocates for change so long as everything remains the same. Its as if being qualified or sane has become overated with this group. When I was younger, Republicans were the party of business, the Gordon Gecko's or Pat Bateman's if you will. They spoke of fiscal responsibility, raw capitalism, federal sentencing guidelines, drug wars, pragmatism, rationalism, science, math, economics (trickle down), education, and true American exceptionalism. Then the 80's happened and as a response to homosexuality and aids, the christian right hijacked the party and made it more and more extreme. It became apparent that in order to win elections, you had to pander to this group of people on more and more social issues while unfettered spending went unchecked. Finally, the group became so extreme and anti- intellectual that the Patron Saint of conservatism, Ronald Reagan, whose entire Presidential record has been re-imagined to seem happier and more Pollyana-ish than it really was, isn't even a conservative anymore. There are now a set of litmus tests to prove how conservative a person is and if one shows apathy, they are labeled a RHINO, Republican in Name Only, and are almost booted out of the party.

When the party leaders started sending out blatant dog whistles and unwilling to reign in the Limbaugh's, Ted Nugents and Donald Trumps of the world, they wrote their own fate. They also signaled to the extremes that it is okay to scapegoat people of color, Hispanics and gays as being the reason for the financial meltdown and the decay of traditional family values.

The language and tone of the tea party was full of hate, vitriol and represented the worst that America had to offer. When people lament about how Obama has taken away their fundamental rights of free speech or their second amendment rights to bear arms, I wonder if they have so short a memory that they forget all the times people hung chairs, hung dolls that represented the President, called the President or the First Lady a monkey, depicted them both as monkeys and sent them out as email Christmas cards, spat on Senators during the healthcare vote, pondered the use of second amendment remedies, claimed the founding fathers ended slavery, or that humans were being mated with mice and they had fully functioning brains. What about carrying guns to protest rallies, and blaming every national tragedy as Gods judgment for gays, abortion and whatever else. The list of crazy goes on and on. If the Republicans ever want to be taken seriously again, they have to disconnect themselves from this fringe crazy wing of the party. Their views do not fall in line with the rest of the country, instead its closer to a totalitarian dictatorship, similar to the Taliban. Andbecause of them, they lost seats in the Senate, possible control of the Senate and millions of dollars spent on campaigns nationwide. To let the tea party hold the reigns for another cycle is party suicide.



2. Culture War





The Republican Party is a party that is polarized and is either unwilling or unable to address the changing demographic in this country. White people are no longer a majority which prompted the rise of the tea party in the first place. Nothing has changed since Obama took office, he is Bush lite, except more articulate. People whine and say that he is tough on business because he hurt their feelings by calling them "fat cats", even though they have made record profits in his administration. 68% of white people voted for Mittens, he won 17% of the Hispanic vote and 7% of the black vote. If Republicans ever want to be electorally viable, they need to get the Hispanic vote up to about 40%. However, that won't happen with telling Hispanics that they should "self deport", they are lazy, coming up with the most asinine laws where they can be jailed and deported just for looking Hispanic or speaking Spanish. Sticking Marco Rubio on a ballot won't do the trick, they need to do some actual thinking and real reformation of Immigration policies, otherwise, they will be dead in the water as a political party.



3. War on Women





As Soon as the tea party freshmen took control of the House, they went on a war of the uterus, despite the fact that they campaigned on the debt. It was abortion, the redefinition of rape, rape, rape, rape, and more rape. The very people that screamed about no government intrusion had no problem with government intrusion on my uterus and who people slept with. That logic always seems to escape social conservatives...

Republicans made argument after argument about the sanctity of life and that rape was either a gift from God, another form of conception, akin to pregnancy out of wedlock, or that the human body had ways of "shutting that thing down" if it were deemed legitimate. As a result, every creepy creeperton that made rape statements lost their bid for re-election, inevitably costing them a possible majority in the Senate. It appears us women in the electorate did have a way to shut that thing down, meaning the failed campaigns of all those residents of crazy town.





It's time to let go of the social conservatism, and focus on fiscal conservatism, period. Morality can not be legislated, no matter how hard you try, unless you live in a theocratic society. They say they want to live in democratic and free society, unless it relates to sex, relationships, drugs, or religion.You know what, that's not truly a free society, and you can't have it both ways. Everyone isn't Judeo-Christian and doesn't share those so called values, whatever those are. For the record, Jesus was a socialist...




4. Republican Obstructionism- Party of No





As soon as the Republicans took control of the House, their sole goal was to deny Obama a second term. Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, famously said that was his only agenda. Category 5 Moron Michelle Bachmann, made that her harpie war chant, "One term president." Instead of doing the work they were elected to do, they played political games, dabbled in birtherism, demanded to see birth certificates, called Obama a terrorist, a communist, a socialist, blamed him for everything from WWI to the rain. They perpetuated the Us. vs. Them mentality that permeated and festered throughout the not so intelligent electorate. By elevating the likes of Allen West, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, there was no working ability to have the mythological bi-partisanship. It was nothing more than trying to score political points for the political vacuum that is the Republican punditry.

5. Living in a Fantasy World


Boehner is SO UPSET (naturally!)

Republicans as a whole hate facts. Or should I say, they change their rhetoric when it's politically convenient. Most Republicans are as socialist as the Left. While not as socially liberal as the left—not advocating equality, gay rights, feminism, etc., etc.—Republicans have proven every bit as fiscally liberal with the exception of the last year or so. But try to get one to admit that social security and medicare are socialist programs along the lines of Obamacare, and they’ll dance and dodge all day! It was Bush II who created medicare prescription drug coverage at the cost of $550 billion, and only nine Senate republicans opposed.

Public schooling is a socialist institution, paid for like a social welfare scheme, where socialist teachers teach socialism to conservatives’ kids. It was designed as an anti-conservative institution and operates openly as an anti-conservative institution. Yet most conservative parents still mock homeschooling and refuse to put their kids in even a private school. Some Christians argue they’re salt and light—”we just need prayer back in schools!” The only prayer any kid should be praying in school is “Mom! Dad! Please! Get me out!”

There is no such thing as private property as long as property taxes and the threat of liens exist. Bad-mouthing Obama’s socialism rings hollow until you pressure your state, county, and municipal officials to abolish property taxes. Of course, you’d also have to argue against public schooling as well, for about 75% of property taxes go to pay for public schools.





Republicans were the original spend-and-tax, big-government Progressives, and remain so today. The same Republican men who nationalized the military, in order to fund their progressive ideals, created, promoted, and signed into law the Sixteenth amendment (national income tax) which had the side-effect of rendering the IRS a permanent institution. So, the tea party is in effect protesting itself. I told you they weren't the brightest bulbs in the box...


6.  The Party of Stupid


Why is ignorance celebrated? The Republican party has steadily dumbed itself down to the lowest common denominator. They deny global warming, evolution, coined the terms "legitimate rape", and "death panels". The believe the Bible is 100% literal, that the earth is 6,000 years old, humans and dinosaurs co-existed even  when there is fossil evidence that proves that this didn't happen. When did they abandon common sense, logic and embrace ignorance and take pride in it. They even nominate the dumbest candidates they can find and call them "authentic" while calling educated people "elitist". Seriously?! Elitist for having a college education and using proper English. Sorry for not wanting to have Honey Boo Boo as the titular head of the party and you shouldn't want to either.

The problem was that we saw the Republicans for what they really were and it was a right-wing party that did not reflect the rest of the electorate.  Politics is tribal, but surrendering the centre-ground can be ill-afforded in any election. The GOP may have targeted the blue collar and the religious vote, but its policy towards immigration, the economy and women saw it ostracize a huge proportion and increasingly important section of the electorate: Hispanics and women. Suicidal when one looks at the make-up of the swing states.

for, the, grand, old, party, to, be, grand, again,, it, has, to, stop, catering, to, old,, white, men,

This is a party that has placed ideology ahead of electability and fitness to govern. Ultimately this is why you failed and failed spectacularly. But buck up. We survived 8 years of Bush and conversely you will survive 8 years of Obama.

Inhumane Republicans and Waffle House Legislation

Another Southern State manages to embarrass all Southerners and proves that the "Bible Belt", is just a phrase that has no meaning.

One Florida state Rep. is proposing a big change to the way his state handles executions. Brad Drake, a Republican, filed a bill Tuesday to eliminate lethal injection and bring back executions by electrocution or firing squad. "We still have Old Sparky. And if that doesn't suit the criminal, then we will provide them a .45 caliber lead cocktail instead."

Florida retired its electric chair in 2000 after several inmates caught fire during executions. Inmates may request the chair in lieu of lethal injection. However, Florida last used the chair in 1999. The electric chair was kind of viewed as "cruel and unusual punishment" by the Supreme Court. But, they are wrong because Brad Drake had an epiphany in a Florida Waffle House. He reportedly overheard a constituent say that "they ought to just put them in the electric chair or line them up in front of a firing squad." How is that for the Love of God in our Great Christian Nation? "There shouldn't be anything controversial about a .45-caliber bullet. If it were up to me we would just throw them off the Sunshine Skyway bridge and be done with it."

Drake, the merciful, expressed concern and frustration over the time an execution took after the Supreme Court temporarily stayed an execution due to the legality of the medication that was used, saying, "I am sick and tired of this sensitivity movement for criminals," he said. "Every time there is a warranted execution that is about to take place, some man or woman is standing on a corner holding a sign, yelling and screaming for humane treatment."

"I am so tired of being humane to inhumane people," he said. How can you be tired of something that you never actually practiced in the first place?

OK Bubba, how much do you want to bet that he is a self proclaimed Christian...The act of being humane first requires humanity. I know,  let's impale, disembowel and decapitate them and put their bodies on display at the malls in front of the JC Penneys. That ought to send the right message to the populace. Yet another version of this Republican Christianity point of view. I bet he would be one of the first to jump off the same bridge to save a frozen deformed embryo or checked to make sure the embryo was actually created in the first place. Being humane is about compassion -- deserved or not. Ideally every imprisonme­nt, every execution, every hungry child, every person uneducated­, every job lost should be mourned as a loss of human promise. Brad Drake sees executions like dumping trash in the river or drowning puppies and kittens. Brad opposes anti-pollu­tion regulation­s. Great priorities...

Is this really surprising­ coming from the Tea Party? Rep. Drake's bloodthirs­ty proposal is completely consistent with the profound sociopathy that has engulfed the Right, warping their attitudes and policies. This type of thing is an inevitable consequenc­e of removing empathy, compassion­, and mercy from the equation. When humanity is discarded what remains is, by definition­, inhuman. It is an institutio­nalized callousnes­s, a total indifferen­ce to suffering. Buoyed by an absence of effective opposition­, they have seemed to escalate, as if ever-great­er outrages are required in order to satisfy them. It's textbook sociopathy­.  

Tea Party folk LOVE the suffering of others. Unemployed­? Every law Scott Walker and the Florida Republican­s have proposed or passed heaps suffering and indignity upon the people they view as human trash. Brad Drake is tired of being humane to the unemployed­. Elderly voters? Every voting law considered by Republican­s is meant to take away their rights. Workers? Tired of being humane to lowly workers, they strip workers of the right to bargain about work conditions­, wages, or to seek redress of grievances­.

Of course, if a person is rich, Republican­s go out of their way to be humane to them!

If you are poor, elderly, sick, convicted of a crime (whether guilty or not), liberal or just plain not rich, to Brad Drake and company, you are not human,  are just an animal to drown, and a pest to eliminate. Joseph Goebbels would shed a tear and be so proud that he has such an ardent student of propaganda.

And these are the people who want to teach your children morality!  

Waffle house legislation.."Where the legislatio­n is as good as the food, and the food ain't that great..."

Sweet Home Alabama and Immigration

What to say about how stupid the State Legislature and the Tea Party Conservative Christians that elected them? They are a continual source of embarrassment for me and all of us with sense that are left here in this desolate wasteland of stupid by no choice of our own. These people have a penchant for fried chicken, and a really annoying tendency to see the end of the world in everything that isn't in their literal southern small world.

In the newest expression of racism and xenophobia, Alabama passed the most idiotic "papers please" law that has ever been written. I have mentioned the sheer stupidity and illegality of this law in previous posts. In addition to the blatant racism of the law, the State has cut back on State Troopers, Sheriff's Deputies and local cops. Piling on the tomfoolery, they have slashed the county budgets on courthouse staff, security, jail guards, teachers...pretty much every one that allows the government and public safety to function.


This month, was the fun time that we all love, TAG RENEWAL. In the past, we had the option of renewing online or by mail, but thanks to the racist vultures in Montgomery, we have to renew IN PERSON. With a shortage of personnel, can you guess what that means? Long lines. Alabama's new immigration law requires motorists renewing a tag to have their Alabama driver's license number and license expiration date for each car owner. Tags lines have been so long in Birmingham that officials are adding portable toilets. Are you serious?! Who has a day to kill and wants to crap in a diaper like a psycho astronaut just to renew a tag because Governor Fire Marshall Bill Bentley and the rest of the goon squad can't think more than 5 min. in front of their faces when they wrote this idiotic law? I guess we should be happy they could manage to write at all...It seems we also need to take a birth certificate along with a drivers license, what's next a vial of blood, high school transcripts, baptismal records, my bra size, how many sexual partners I've had and a copy of my teeth x-ray's? More evidence that this b.s. system will fail much like the voting populace in general.

Between the court cost of trying to defend this bill, our school systems losing additional revenue we  can't afford, time and money wasted waiting in long lines for services, the farmers losing crops, money spent fighting lawsuits over false arrests, and having teachers and police work as immigration officials, this Law is costing  more money than it's worth. It's been a federal felony violation for U.S. Farmers to exploit/hi­re illegals since Nov 6, 1986.

U.S.C. 8 § 1324a : US Code - Section 1324A: Unlawful employment of aliens.
Maybe U.S. Farmers should visit their local JOHN DEERE Dealership to check out the full line of Mechanical Harvesters­, available since the late 1940's. 

Speaking of false arrest, Muflahi, a 24-year-old born in Yemen, was arrested Friday during a drug raid in Etowah County, Alabama, along with two other Yemenis. Etowah County is a place that no one that is black or brown belongs after sundown. The three men were taken into custody for obstructing a government operation, and upon processing at the jail, only Muflahi was unable to produce documentation of his legal status. Muflahi is not in the U.S. illegally, but he could possibly be a terrorist at least according to Alabama Senators, (Shelby, Brooks, two of the smartest on the hill), but he is a legal citizen nonetheless. According to them, just because he was born in Yemen he should be regarded as a suspected terrorist. Yeah...no other reason...just by virtue of the geopraphical location of his birth, because we all know NO TERRORISTS COME FROM THE UNITED STATES, except the Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh, John Wilkes Booth, Jared Loughner, Sirhan Sirhan, Eric Rudolph, Dan White, Andrew Joseph Stack and Leon Czolgosz. Uh oh...problem with that logic isn't there?

Do they still have signs on all roads heading into Alabama that say: "You are now leaving the United States, welcome to Alabama." If not, they should.

Apart from the fact that the US government has assassinat­ed US citizens without a court to judge them, we are now labeling everything according to skin color and no one would admit it:
1. Black: Will rob you and steal your money
2. Too dark: 99% an illegal immigrant who stole my dish washing job.
3. Brown: Definitely a terrorist.
4. Yellow: O those nerd Chinese people who stole my broom manufactur­ing job.
Who cares if he was actually innocent, or in fact a legal immigrant? America has still sent the message it intended: If you look foreign, you are in trouble. Since when do facts matter? Where have you been living? In post-Patri­ot Act America, little things like fundamenta­l rights, innocence and due process do not matter and if you live in the South, you can forget it, everyone not white, protestant and either an Alabama or Auburn fan are a tool of Satan. I guess the terrorists are winning...Yemenis in Alabama, thousands of Somalis in Minnesota, lots of black Muslims controllin­g the prisons...­world conquest is the goal. Don't open the door, hide your kids and your wife because they raping everybody out here. There will be plenty of low paying jobs with no benefits for the choosing when the Hispanics are out.

For everyone that thinks this law is just wonderful, think about this: your drivers license is NOT proof of your citizenship. It is only proof that you can drive in the State that you are licensed. Unless you are in the habit of carrying a birth certificate or a passport, you do not have proof of citizenship and Big Brother can lock you up just as easily as the so called illegals.

Here we have a bad law and we were prepared to make a public statement about the success of the law and once again we proved to the world as a state that we are a bunch of fools that are unworthy of being targeted by a terrorist group for an attack.

Arizona's SB 1070--and even more with Alabama's HB 56, which is "SB 1070 on steroids"--these state laws go much further than mere frustration with the federal government. Anyone can see that these laws are discriminatory and unconstitutional, not to mention racially motivated. Such tactics can affect everyone--including citizens and legal residents, if we aren't careful, it will happen. PATRIOT ACT, HELLO! Let's think! There is a better way to handle Illegal immigration and this isn't it. Let's not just sit back and accept the small, but really big government tea party vision of the world and act like it's normal and that it can't happen to another "minority" group.

Sometimes doing something will result in a blood spattered suicide. This law has given Etowah County just enough rope to hang themselves.

Sarah Palin's Words of Mass Destruction

I AM THE ANTI CHRIST
Flavor Flav! YO TIME IS UP!

Head cheerleader of the flat earth party Sarah Palin praised businessman and Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain but also called him the "flavor of the week" during an appearance on Fox News' "On The Record" with Greta Van Susteren propaganda/ Scientology show Tuesday night. I guess she would know. Pot meet kettle was all I could think...

"Take Herb Cain. (His name is Herman, Herb Caen was a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, it appears she reads after all), Look at why he's doing so well right now. I guess you could say, with all due respect, he’s the flavor of the week," Palin said. According to that book that was written about her, she likes dark chocolate, sexual chocolate.

"Because Herb (His name is still Herman) Cain is the one up there who doesn't look like he's part of that permanent political class," the former  half governor continued,  still fumbling on the candidate's first name. "He came from a working class family. He's had to make it on his own all these years. We respect that." So, the Clown of the Week, Month, Year has something to say about the flavor of the month? Is she jealous that he is stealing her title?

The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, Cain has managed to defy expectations in his run for the Republican presidential nominee, even notching a surprise win over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the Florida straw poll last Saturday. Don't worry, Uncle Ruckus will fade into the wind, because he is the "black friend" to the tea party to try and convince the media that they aren't racists.

I Beat Anorexia, but I'm so over this
Appearing on CBS' "The Early Show" Wednesday, Cain acknowledged that he may be the "flavor of the month," but said voters will find "more to that flavor than meets the eye." I love mixed metaphors...that literally make no sense. Can you see a flavor? I would think that a cooning pizza king would know that. Can you smell the color purple? You should, it's got nappy hair and dark skinned black people who look like runaway slaves that have a better shot of being president than you. Can you say Oprah anyone? She is practically a deity.

In addition to addressing Cain's current standing in the GOP primary, Palin also discussed the threats and fantasies surrounding her own possible candidacy.

"I'm going to keep repeating though, Greta, through my process of decision-making with my family and with my close friends as to whether I should throw my name in the hat for the GOP nomination for 2012: Is a title worth it?" she said, "Does a title shackle a person? Are they -- someone like me, maverick, you know, I do go rogue, and I call it like I see it, and I don't mind stirring it up.... is a title and is a campaign too shackling? Does that prohibit me from being out there, out of the box, not allowing handlers to shape me?" Shackles? Do the shackles come with a leather bustier, a ball gag perhaps?

What? Whats the matter boo boo, Sarah, cant ya read the notes written on your hands?? LMAO.. no one need bother doing a caricature of Sarah....every time she opens that pie hole she c­ontinues to do it all by her little lonesome: Herb, going rogue and all mavericky. For one who gripes about Spanish speakers, her English is abhorrent. If you only speak one language, you shouldn't suck at it, Caribou Barbie. Nicki Minaj, you better take a seat, Sarah Palin is the original Barbie.

Here is my poem dedicated to the little rogue maverick, maggot, barracuda:


Sarah, standing next to the curb
'Bout pizza guy had a little blurb
She had trouble stopping
Thinking 'bout toppings
That's why she called him a Herb
  

Maybe when she says something in her critiques about the candidate from "Nantucket" then another poem will follow.

Let's run it through the Palinomete­r and see what that comes out, translated into English:

"I'm not running because I can't find anyone who wants to become my campaign manager. Every last one I approach calls me "unmanagea­ble" just because I enjoy spouting off completely fabricated nonsense intended to disguise the fact that I am woefully uninformed on the issues reporters frame their questions about. Not only am I uninformed­, I refuse to become informed and brandish my ignorance as a badge of honor. In short, I won't run for POTUS because I can't run without an organized campaign and I can't organize an effective campaign because no-one wants to manage a candidate who makes 100 to 1 odds look really attractive­."

Besides, there's more money and self-flatt­ering fame to be had as a Cluster Faux News contributo­r and pretend potential candidate - why on earth would she give up that sweet gig to take on all the actual work a serious campaign would demand? Will she actually sit down and study micro economics to learn how the economy works? Please...Don't mistake Palin for someone with principles - she just plays one on TV. I don't think anyone is buying that rotten bill of goods.

Beehive hairdo, cheap fleece top, bedazzled flag pin and she is making excuses about why she won't run? Here is the truth Caribou: YOU CAN"T WIN and you know it. Did you see Palin deep throating a corn dog in Iowa?  That was her crazed eyed clone Bachmann along with her Tutti Fruity husband. Silly Sistah Sawah pops out of her moose house to flibber flubber her spaced out comments to her equally "challenge­d" followers who follow her every word, to only show how dim and uninformed she truly is....Run Sarah..ple­ase...we miss our daily belly laughs and giggles, the only problem is she doesn't speak in complete sentences.

News Flash: Sarah, the minute you quit your job as governor, you stopped being a maverick at all. You simply became another fame-hungr­y grifter. Nothing particular­ly unusual about that, you are no different than the cast of Jersey Shore. Repeating the word maverick doesn't make it true. You just can't change stupid. It wouldn't be so hard to make up your mind about running for POTUS if you actually HAD a mind.

It's an empty space, no damage

She can hold her breath longer than most people due to the extra reserve of air she keeps in her head.
