    Oklahoma Candidate Says Gays Should Be Stoned




    Oklahoma state house candidate Scott Esk wrote on Facebook last summer that gay people are “worthy of death” and should be stoned, later claiming that violence against gays is “in the old testament under a law that came directly from God.”

    The messages originated as Facebook commentary on a story about Pope Francis asking “who am I to judge” gay priests. Esk responded by posting Old Testament scripture that allegedly condemns sexuality. After a commenter asked, “So just to be clear, you think we should execute sexuals (presumably by stoning)?” Esk answered in the affirmative.

    “I think we would be totally in the right to do it,” he wrote.

    “That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I’m largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.”

    “If men wink at such perversions, God may have no choice than to judge such nations with calamities.”

    63 Texas Lawmakers: Marriage Equality Is Comparable To Polygamy, Incest, And Pedophilia

    The Texas Conservative Coalition (TCC), a caucus of 63 state Republican lawmakers, has submitted a brief to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that it should uphold the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. Among their arguments, as Lone Star Q has pointed out, is that same-sex marriage is comparable to incest, pedophilia, and polygamy.

    When Judge Orlando Garcia overturned Texas’s ban back in February, he wrote that the “right to marry” includes the right for individuals to “select the partners of their choosing.” Thus, when the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that banning interracial marriage was uncons utional, they did not create a new right to interracial marriage; they ruled that individuals could not be restricted from marrying on account of their chosen partner. The same is true of same-sex marriage, he wrote. The ban on same-sex marriage “denies sexuals the ‘existing right to marry,’” which violates due process just as anti-miscegenation laws did.


    The TCC argues that this interpretation is a “distortion” of Loving that “problematically opens the definition of marriage to a variety of unions that society has deemed unacceptable and does not include under the umbrella of the fundamental right to marry.” If Garcia’s criterion is used, they wrote, “then marriage restrictions on age, polygamy, and consanguinity [incest] are also ripe for challenge.”


    To uphold the ban, the state has to demonstrate that there is a rational reason for the law other than blatantly discriminating against same-sex couples. The TCC argues that preventing a slippery slope that “could lead to the recognition of bigamy, incest, pedophilia, and group marriage” is just such a reason the court should reconsider.

    Another CATHOLIC extreme right winger spewing bull

    Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback says Republicans voted against him because Obama

    Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has an interesting theory on why nearly 40 percent of his fellow Kansas Republicans voted against him in his primary this week. It's not because his interesting tax "theories" are cratering the Kansas budget and doing no favors to the state economy, it's because people hate Obama.

    "I think a big part of it is Barack Obama. That a lot of people are so irritated at what the president is doing, they just, they want somebody to throw a brick."

    As wingnut Alan Keyes tries to put his impeachment genie back in the bottle, he hands the impeachment microphone at his website RenewAmeica to one Dan Popp who announces thatGod wants Obama Impeached.

    Barack Obama deserves to be impeached. He deserves to be tried. And in my opinion he deserves to be removed from office. (So do many of the folks who would be impeaching and trying him, by the way.)...

    What if Moses had thought better of defying his Obama
    , knowing that the consequence might be a more severe slavery for his brethren, rather than freedom? What if David had come to a reasonable conclusion about his prospects of victory over the nine-foot-tall Obama before him?

    Is that crazy enough for you?
    Now we've had plenty of food fights here about how strong or weak President Obama is, but thankfully, Mr. Popp has resolved the issue by proclaiming:

    If there is no ultimate moral Authority, then there is no morality. That means that there are no rights to be respected or abused, only power to be wielded. If Barack Obama has the power and the will to grind you into dust, you will lie there and die like a sheep.

    You may be shrugging your shoulders and dismissing this as just some nut on some nutty website sounding off into the empty darkness. I don't think so. I personally know a Tea Bagger who would believe every word of this, and my guess is the vast majority of Tea Baggers would buy into it. We shouldn't underestimate the degree of craziness we are up against, and the danger to our society it represents.
    Well, if that's too nutty for you, how about we take a look at what one of the leading potential Republican presidential candidates said just this last Monday, Obama 'Acting Like God,' 'Worthy Of Impeachment'

    Mike Huckabee appeared on Monday’s edition of Iowa-based Steve Deace’s radio talk show, where he said President Obama “absolutely” deserves to be impeached but cautioned that Republicans should not pursue impeachment at this time since the GOP doesn’t have the votes to convict him in the Senate.
    ...

    “There’s no doubt that he has done plenty of things worthy of impeachment,” Huckabee said.

    ...
    "There’s a big difference between what we owe God and what we owe Caesar, and right now we’ve got Caesar acting like God.”

    GA candidate: Black female opponent can’t win by ‘dusting off copies of The Color Purple’

    Then, in what many perceived to be a knock on his Democratic opponent, former Decatur school board chairwoman Valarie Wilson, Woods said that “[t]hey may dust off their copies of their VHS copies of ‘The Color Purple,’ but it isn’t going to happen, all right? We are going to remain Republican red in our state, and we’re going to move this state forward so that we can do the very best, and again, I look forward to being your next state school superintendent of schools.”

    she had “no idea what VHS tapes or The Color Purple or anything has to do with bettering education for our children. To bring The Color Purple in, it makes me wonder: ‘What are you alluding to?’ Are you alluding to you want things to be back the way they were where slavery was dominant? Are you alluding to the fact that you don’t want diversity within your state where there was a separation of what African- Americans could do and could not do? I don’t know.”

    Republican solution to fighting wildfires: Don't pay for 'em, just cut down the damn trees


    Remember how the Republican House melted down last week over a pointless border bill that was also supposed to include emergency funding for other stuff, and Republican obstructionists in the Senate halted most action on emergency funding in that body? That included emergency funding to respond to a wildfire season in the West that started early and is becoming massive. Well, here's the result:

    Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday that about $400 million to $500 million in projects will have to be put on hold in what has become a routine exercise toward the end of the fiscal year. He predicted that the money set aside strictly for firefighting will run out by the end of August."When we begin to run out of money we have to dip into the very programs that will reduce the risk of these fires over time," Vilsack said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press.

    There are
    about 30 large fires raging now in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Thunderstorms this week threaten to touch off more every day. There are at least two months left in this fire season. In remote areas in the Mountain West, fires often burn until the first snow in late October. Republicans being Republicans, spending money on the science of, and activities for, preventing wildfires doesn't matter. Because they have a much simpler plan: Cut down all the trees.

    The House Budget Committee, led by Rep. Paul Ryan, has said it would be better to work within existing spending caps to fully fund both the firefighting efforts and prevention work.
    That would mean finding savings through other Department of Agriculture and Interior programs.

    House Republicans also argue that a bill they passed last year requiring greater timber harvesting on federal lands could help reduce the amount of money needed for fire prevention efforts.

    The administration opposed that bill saying it undermined several laws and rules established to protect the environment.

    GOP Obstructionism Is Holding Up Funds to Catch Rapists

    For weeks, Republicans in the Senate have held up an $180 billion spending bill that would direct money to several federal agencies, from the Justice Department to the Department of Transportation. Funding for all kinds of measures—from rent subsidies for the poor, to a new NASA rocket, to transportation projects—has been left in limbo. But one specific provision that's being held up has victims' advocates particularly worried: a $41 million grant to help states and localities go after rapists by funding jurisdictions to process backlogs of rape kits, the samplings of biological evidence that are taken after a sexual assault and used to identify attackers.

    The kits, which contain semen, blood, saliva, hair, and other DNA evidence from rape victims, can be held in storage for decades, allowing rapists to roam free. Experts estimate that there are over 100,000 untested kits sitting on shelves at scores of police departments and crime lab storage facilities around the country, partly because states and localities lack the money needed to process them.

    Thanks, Repugs!

    Wimmen get raped because they want it, they asked for it, they can just "shut down" the biology stop pregnancy, right?

    Repugs, VRWC, 1%, Fox, and right-wing media been lying to all y'all rednecks







    Actually This Reduced Spending And Lower Deficit Have Hurt The Economy

    Government spending is literally, by definition, the things that government does to make our lives better. People have been tricked into thinking that government spending is somehow bad. The billionaires and giant corporations spread this nonsense around because they are greedy and just want their taxes lower. The top income tax rate used to be more than 90 percent and the top corporate tax rate used to be more than 50 percent. That was back when we built this country's great infrastructure, had good schools and defended the world against the Soviet Union. We also had higher economic growth and a growing middle class.


    Government spending does not "take money out of the economy." In fact it puts money into the economy, creates jobs and lays the foundation for future prosperity. The decline in government spending shown in the charts above is the reason that the economy remains sluggish and jobs are still hard to get. Just look at that chart showing what the stimulus spending did for the job situation. But since the stimulus ended, Republicans have obstructed every effort to continue to use our government to help our economy.


    For example, this chart from The Atlantic, "The Incredible Shrinking U.S. Government," shows how government spending to create government jobs helped us get out of the 1981, 1990 and 2001 recessions. But since the 2007 "Great Recession," we instead have laid off hundreds of thousands of government employees, obviously making unemployment even worse.

    Repug thought dictator whom less Repug wouldn't dare cross

    Rush Limbaugh: Robin Williams killed himself because of a ‘political leftist’ at ude

    “What is the left’s world view in general?” Limbaugh asked his audience the day after Williams’ death was announced. “If you had to attach, not a philosophy, but an at ude to a leftist world view. It’s one of pessimism, and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy, are they?”

    “They’re animated in large part by the false promises of America because the promises of America are not for everyone,” he continued, pointing to a Fox News report that suggested Williams had struggled with financial issues, and survivor’s guilt after the deaths of entertainers like Christopher Reeve, Andy Kaufman and John Belushi.


    “Robin Williams felt guilty that he was still alive while his three friends had died young, and much earlier than he had,” the conservative talker explained. “He could never get over the guilt that they died and he didn’t.”

    “Well, that is a constant measurement that is made by political leftists in judging the country.”

    GOP Lawmaker: Fracking Is Fine, Because ‘Indians’ Used Methane-Filled Water For Warmth


    YEEE HAW!!!

    On right-wing activist Gordon Klingenschmitt’s Pray In Jesus’ Name show, Baumgardner argued that fracking must be okay for the environment, because having methane in water is totally normal.

    He knows this because apparently “Indians” used this water for warmth, and because he’s gone to “fracking seminars” that left him feeling very educated on the topic.

    “I’ve been doing a lot of the fracking seminars, and if people haven’t been, then they really don’t understand it,” he said. “They talk about methane in the water and this, that, and the other, but if you go back in history and look at how the Indians traveled, they traveled to the burning waters. And that was methane in the waters and that was for warmth in the wintertime.

    But this is far from the craziest moment on Klingenschmitt’s show. In the past, Klingenschmitt, who is a Colorado state House candidate, told his audience not to worry about same-sex marriage bans being struck down, because Jesus has the power to overrule the Supreme Court and send all gay men straight to .

    Klingenschmitt is also convinced that people get high because of demons.

    Congressman Who Voted Against Minimum Wage Hike Complains He Hasn’t Gotten A Raise Since 2008

    Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) is fighting pressure to agree to a pay cut for members of Congress, instead complaining that the $174,000 annual salary was already frozen.

    On Monday, Terry’s Democratic challenger, State Sen. Brad Ashford, proposed that congressional salaries be cut 10 percent and promised to do so unilaterally if elected. Terry, in response, took umbrage at the notion that congressmen are overpaid.

    “What he’s not telling you is that Congress hasn’t had a cost of living increase since 2008, when I led the charge for a freeze,” Terry told KMTV. Members of Congress last voted for a raise of $4,700 in 2009.

    In calling for the pay cut, Ashford invoked Congress’ abysmally unproductive session. “To leave Congress in the state that it was left last week, in my view, is not serving the needs of the people,” the state senator said.


    This is not the first time Terry has complained about his salary. In 2013, during the Republican-led government shutdown that furloughed up to one million American workers, many members of Congress gave up their paychecks as a symbolic gesture. Terry refused at first.


    Despite voting to prolong the shutdown, Terry explained to the Omaha World-Herald why he especially needed to keep collecting a salary. “I’ve got a nice house and a kid in college, and I’ll tell you we cannot handle it,” Terry said. “Giving our paycheck away when you still worked and earned it? That’s just not going to fly.” The comments blew up, forcing Terry to backtrack and agree not to collect his salary until after the shutdown ended.


    Even as Terry complains about his own recent lack of pay increases, it’s a reality the middle class has lived with for three decades. Median household income was flat during the 1980s and 1990s, and it actually dropped nearly $4,000 in the 2000s. What’s more, when Terry had multiple opportunities to give minimum wage workers a raise, he repeatedly voted “no,” most recently in 2013.

    Tea Party leader asks God to “be violent against” GOP establishment in opening prayer

    When it comes to saying crazy things, it’s pretty hard to beat Mississippi Tea Partyer Tricia Raymond’s claim that controversial right-wing journalist Charles Johnson was sent by God to save the United States. Unfortunately, Mississippi Tea Party chairman Roy Nicholson proved on Monday that he was more than up to the task.

    According to a report in the Jackson Free Press, at the start of a speaking event in Flowood, Mississippi, hosted by Johnson, Nicholson delivered an opening prayer in which he asked Almighty God to do what Almighty God apparently does best: To “be violent against” establishment Republicans who disagree with Tea Partyers over how best to achieve their mutually agreed upon goals.


    “We ask for your blessing upon the conservatives in this state, that they might stand strong and firm,” reportedly began Nicholson’s prayer. “Father, we even ask for you to bless our enemies, and Lord they are truly our enemies that head the Republican Party and the whole political establishment.”


    Nicholson’s idea of “blessing” one’s enemies, however, is a bit strange. He continued:

    We’re asking, Father, for two things. We’re asking, Father, that you would expose them, set division amongst them, set them one against another, bring confusion and fear into their camp, into their thinking, for the purpose of pulling them down, for casting them down out of their high offices and reducing them, Lord, to having no power in this state. So, Lord, that you might raise up and seek the righteous in the positions of power that this state might once more be a state that honors you in all that it does.


    Father, we’re asking that in all of the tribulations were asking you to bring upon them, that it would work change in their heart — that you would use it to bring true Godly sorrow, that they might truly repent for their iniquity and their wickedness, for that they would be restored to you, that you would have honor in the state of Mississippi for the great works that you’ve done in correcting and purifying the government and rescuing and saving the worst of us.

    Texas ‘sovereign citizen’ describes ambush on cops: ‘This is a get-out-the-vote campaign’




    A 60-year-old Texas man accused of setting up an ambush against police and firefighters said he set up the attack as both a protest against police shootings and a way to encourage people to vote.

    “This is a get out the vote campaign,” Douglas Leguin told KXAS-TV on Thursday. “You have to do something big to get attention in this country.”

    Leguin spoke to the station from Dallas County Jail, where the self-identified “sovereign citizen” is being held on $350,000 bail. He is charged with seven counts of aggravated assault against a public servant for allegedly setting fire to a dumpster near a North Dallas home, then allegedly shooting at firefighters with an AK-47 during a brief standoff.

    RNC's Chad Connelly: 'God's Got A Home' In Th GOP

    RNC faith director Chad Connelly said during a recent interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network that Republicans aren’t moving away from conservative stances on issues like marriage equality.

    In fact, Connelly said that the GOP adopted “the most pro-faith, pro-family, best platform ever put in in Republican Party or political party history down in Tampa in 2012.”


    “The Republican Party is the natural home for people of faith,” he said. “This is the place where God’s got a home.”

    Tea Party of Louisiana: Common Core turns kids gay, and this parody website proves it

    “Common Core is Total Federalized Control of Education, Indoctrination and Socialism,” the Tea Party group warned on its website. “Don’t believe us then just Do a Little Homework and see for yourself. Check these out and then tell us how you feel about Common Core being implemented in your schools and with your children.”

    The Tea Party of Louisiana listed five links to support its claims, including the story on Broken World News – which includes the disclaimer: “If you believe any of the sh*t you read here you are a freaking moron.”

    RNC Official Claims Child Migrants Are Trained ‘Warriors’ And Will ‘Rise Up Against’ Americans

    A Republican National Committeewoman claimed on her radio show Thursday that kids who are arriving in waves unaccompanied at the U.S. southern border could be “warriors” and would likely “rise up against” Americans. In an interview with a Tea Party leader, RNC committeewoman Tamara Scott said that children could be coming from countries where they are highly trained as soldiers and may harm Americans, according to Right Wing Watch.

    Scott said, “When we see these kids, you and I think young kids, we think maybe 12-year-olds …middle-schoolers, But we know back in our revolution, we had 12-year olds fighting in our revolution. And for many of these kids, depending on where they’re coming from, they could be coming from other countries and be highly trained as warriors who will meet up with their group here and actually rise up against us as Americans.”

    Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review and Fox contributor, said during an immigration panel discussion on Thursday that Republicans who say Americans won't do certain jobs, should be "shot" and "hanged."

    His statement on how to handle such Republicans was met with applause and laughter.

    "The next time I hear a Republican strategist or a Republican politician say that there are jobs that Americans won't do, that person should be shot, he should be hanged, he should be wrapped in a carpet and thrown in the Potomac River," Lowry said.

    Fox pundit: Images from Foley beheading video are ‘perfectly fair’ for GOP campaign ads

    Conservative radio host Lars Larson told Fox News on Tuesday that it was “perfectly fair” for Republican candidates to use images from a video of an American journalist being beheaded in campaign ads attacking President Barack Obama.

    A campaign video advertisement released on Monday by New Mexican Republican Senate candidate Allen Weh includes a frame from a gruesome video which showed the beheading of American photographer James Foley. The ad crops out Foley so only the disturbing image of the masked killer holding a knife is visible.


    The ad goes on to slam President Barack Obama for playing golf, and tries to link Weh’s opponent, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, to the administration’s foreign policy.

    Confederate macaca madness



    Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal filed suit on Wednesday against the Obama administration, arguing that it has coerced states into adopting Common Core education standards.

    The move by the Republican governor comes amid a backlash against the multistate standards that aim to boost critical-thinking skills and apply consistency to a patchwork of state guidelines.

    “Common Core is the latest effort by big government disciples to strip away state rights and put Washington, D.C., in control of everything,” Jindal said in a statement.


    While the standards were developed and implemented by states, the Obama administration encouraged their adoption through a compe ive-grant program called Race to the Top, which gave money to cash-strapped states.

    Louisiana was among 45 states that passed Common Core into law in 2010, with Jindal then a supporter of the standards. Several Republican-led states have dropped the standards this year, including Indiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina.

    Jindal announced in June that he was moving to scrap a set of key student tests associated with Common Core. The move was opposed by Louisiana’s top education official – a Jindal appointee – and has since been blocked in court.


    Jindal’s new suit was filed against the U.S. Department of Education in federal court in Baton Rouge.

    Repug Presidential candidate speaks!

    Herman Cain Uncovers Obama's Secret Plot To Get Impeached

    Herman Cain took the conservative rhetoric of "impeachment bait" to the next level on Thursday by theorizing that President Obama is actually trying to get impeached in order to "laugh at the Republicans."

    "I believe that he'll do it, and here's why," Cain explained in a radio interview. "First, it's going to stimulate some lawsuits and he knows that it'll take time for those lawsuits to make their way through the court system."

    "So they'll play upon the slowness of the justice system," he said. "The whole reason that he would do that is to try and get the Hispanic vote of November of this year."


    "They are padding Democrat votes for this upcoming election," he added.


    The former presidential candidate and current radio host delivered the remarks in an interview with Trunews, which touts itself as "the only newscast reporting the countdown to the second coming of Jesus Christ."
