War on n!gg@s? yep, "white men" clubs!

War on Women? yep, "male-only"

War on Poor? yep, "white men in male-only clubs" aren't free to join.

Repugs, politicians for ALL Americans!

and the govt is " ed up" in the sense that there's still some taxes on the wealthy white men and their businesses, and not enough taxes, yet, on the non-wealthy, non-white people, but Repugs are working hard to un the govt (see Ryan's ed up budgets that don't pass)

Governor Refuses To Say Why He Signed A Rape Gag Rule Into Law




Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) repeatedly refused to answer questions about why he signed into law a budget that included a provision prohibiting state-funded rape crisis counselors from referring women to abortion services.

The measure, described by critics as “a gag rule,” also strips funding from Planned Parenthood, “blocks public hospitals from arranging transfer agreements with abortion clinics and requires abortion providers to provide ultra sounds on women seeking abortions,” Reuters reported. Clinics that do refer patients to abortion doctors will have their public funding suspended.

Ohio Supreme Court Justice: Vote For Me Because ‘I Am A Republican’ Who Will Uphold GOP Laws

“Whatever the governor does, whatever your state representative, your state senator does, whatever they do, we are the ones that will decide whether it is cons utional; we decide whether it’s lawful. We decide what it means, and we decide how to implement it in a given case.

“So, forget all those other votes if you don’t keep the Ohio Supreme Court conservative,” French said.

then there's the appointed SCOTUS5, put on the bench to protect/enrich the VRWC/1% and America and Americans

same as abomination of politicians rather than non-political commissions defining legislative districts.

Sharia Fell on Alabama

It is one of the great pillars of American democracy that ignoramuses and bags are able to propose and place before the people for a vote new laws which are either stupid, awful or in some cases merely ridiculous. Then the people, perhaps first agreeing to the proposition, see through the nonsense and vote the measure down, thus vindicating the great, silent non-jackass majority and reconfirming the virtuous cycle of democratic self-government.

Of course, the system does not always work perfectly.

Or rather the first part works better than the second. But here and there, you see a case like this one that is both comical and inspiring and redeems our confidence that the long arc of the moral universe bends toward wisdom rather than derp.

Just after discussing the rise of cons utional fishing movement, I was alerted to the fact that adding

fishing and hunting as rights enshrined in the cons ution was getting a vote in Alabama as well as Mississippi. And if that weren't enough, Alabamians were also getting a chance to vote on barring the imposition of Sharia law in their state.

The ballot initiative is the work of Eric Johnston of the Southeast Law Ins ute and state Sen.Gerald Allen (R - No ). An earlier amendment proposed by Allen to keep Sharia out of Alabama never got to the ballot because it explicitly evoked Sharia law and was considered demonstrably uncons utional. This latest effort is more carefully written.

Where this gets interesting though is that quite a few of the people who you might think would be supporting this effort - conservative evangelicals - are standing up and saying,

'We know you're trying to appeal to people us and get us jazzed up about the threat to Christianity. But, no, this is a stupid idea and we'd like you to please go home.'

Laura Ingraham crosses the line from mean spirited to bat cuckoo with suggestion that Ebola volunteers are props.

Should we be worried about Laura Ingraham’s sanity at this point? She’s been coming up with some doozies lately, like conspiracy theories about dark-skinned children crossing our borders in order to infect us with diseases.

Now, she is questioning the existence of health care workers.

This week, President Obama addressed the country’s response to Ebola outbreaks in West Africa, and was joined by several health care workers who have recently returned from relief operations and others who are about to embark on some. It’s worth noting that, after getting a slow start in Ebola response, Obama has been fairly exemplary in his leadership on the disease, heeding science (when did this become controversial? Ugghh, nevermind) and refusing to bow to hysteria. Witness his hug with nurse Nina Pham, who actually was diagnosed with Ebola and recovered, compared, say, with Chris Christie’s locking up a nurse who was NOT infected.

Also present was Dr. Kent Brantly, who became infected while volunteering in Liberia and was the first Ebola patient treated on American soil. Dr. Brantly, it somehow needs to be said, is a real person. Really.

But Ingraham thinks all these people may have been stunt doubles, questioning whether or not they were employees of the pro-Obama political group Organizing for America disguised in "white coats."

no Repug politicians nor their enablers deserve credit. so them all. While some conservative PEOPLE might be reasonable, they keep re-electing Repug assholes/destroyers, so they deserve all the I throw at them.

Repugs and tea baggers absolutely refuse compromise, have driven moderates out of Congress, have taken over statehouses with extreme right wingers, and have obstructed EVERYTHING the Dems have proposed since Jan 2009, and even much worse since Jan 2011. Why does ANY Repug deserve my credit?

Newspaper Roots For Michael Grimm To Win Reelection Then Go To Prison



One of New York's biggest newspapers wished for two things in an unusual political endorsement this weekend: that Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) would win reelection and that he would then be convicted of a federal crime.

In an editorial headlined "Very Grimm choice," the New York Daily News quipped that the race for New York's 11th district was a bleak one. Grimm's Democratic challenger, the newspaper said, was an even worse choice than an in bent who's been indicted on federal charges and recently threatened to toss a reporter off a balcony.

"In Domenic Recchia, the Democrats have fielded a candidate so dumb, ill-informed, evasive and inarticulate that voting for a thuggish Republican who could wind up in a prison jumpsuit starts to make rational sense," the Daily News wrote. "At least Michael Grimm can string three sentences together."

The Daily News also saw an upside if Grimm ends up winning and then going to prison: a do-over.

Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan Are So Scared Of Jon Stewart That They Won’t Go On The Daily Show

Is there any politician you really want to have on who hasn’t agreed to do the show?



No one, really.

It’s not that people don’t refuse all the time.

Like Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, they won’t come on.

We’ve asked them a million times.

Marco Rubio has been on a couple times. He generally likes to mix it up.

The truth is, I’m not particularly hankering for a conversation with those guys.

I always find it interesting how guys come on this show and they soft-pedal their beliefs.

They’ve written a book called Liberals Will Your Dead Grandmother.

You ask, “Why would you write Liberals Will Your Dead Grandmother?”

“It’s not about that. We’re not that far apart.” Right.

But then why would you write that they’re necrophiliacs?

“Did I?”

They completely back away.

Jim DeMint writes a book that says, “This is a battle between socialism and free enterprise.”

He comes on the show: “Oh, so you want to get rid of Social Security?”

“No, that’s a great program.”

Theocrat And GOP Candidate Mike Peroutka Explains Jesus Is The Football For Your Rights



On this Election Day, Michael Peroutka — theocrat,neo-confederate, and Republican candidate for county council in Ann Arundel County in Maryland who has also flirted with the Cons ution Party because CONS UTION — would just like to remind you of the Reason for Election Season: It’s Jesus!

Just as you can’t win a game of football without your team possessing the ball, you can’t win Democracy without recognizing that all our rights come from Jesus, exactly like the Founders said precisely nowhere in the Cons ution, but which is obvious because a slaveholding deist used the word “Creator” in a whole ‘nother do ent that does not actually have the force of law:

[If] we try to argue for our rights to life, or for our liberties, or for the right to be free in our pursuit of happiness — including our right to own and enjoy private property, and including our right to worship, and to speak freely, and to assemble, and to protect and defend ourselves and our family — and we try to make these arguments and defenses without acknowledging that their origin is a Divine one, we are trying to score without the ball.

Besides, everything I said is true. Republicans are the party that denies evolution, denies climate change, subscribes to a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible, and believes in the existence of the Judeo-Christian God. That's anti-science, anti-reason, and anti-intellectual. Don't you agree?

every democrat in congress believes in god, and outside of a few handful of jews they're all christians who believe in the judeo-christian god.
