A staggering number of Republicans believe President Obama is a Muslim

The number of Republicans who think Obama is a Muslim has actually increased since 2010

A new CNN/ORC poll has found that nearly 30 percent of all Americans do not believe the president is a Christian, including 43 percent of Republicans who say he is a Muslim, while 20 percent of all adults believe he was born outside the United States.

In 2012, when Gallup asked “do you happen to know the religious faith of Barack Obama?” 47 percent of Republicans claimed to have no idea. 43 percent are now certain he is a Muslim, up from the 34 percent of Republicans who told Pew in 2010 that they believed he was a Muslim.

H.R. 1737 would frustrate efforts to crack down on discriminatory auto lending practices. The bill places unnecessary restrictions on CFPB oversight of auto lending, including interest rate markups that cost consumers tens of billions of dollars and have been found to violate fair lending practices through a differential impact on minority purchasers of automobiles.

The restrictions in this bill do not exist for any other financial practice.

GOP Propaganda Succeeds As 43% of Republicans Support a Military Coup Against America




Propaganda is communications aimed towards influencing the at ude of a population toward some cause or position using partisan information to influence an audience and further an agenda. A primary feature of propaganda is presenting false facts or using lies of omission to encourage a particular synthesis, or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the false information presented. Next to Adolf Hitler’s minister of propaganda from 1933 to 1945, Joseph Goebbels, Republicans may be the most accomplished propagandists in history; at least in American history.

Republicans have been so successful at spreading blatantly false information about President Barack Obama that a fair share of the population gleefully votes against their own best self-interests to stop what Republicans claim is the President’s existential threat to America. It is unclear how voting for Republicans who have no intent or interest in ever doing anything for their cons uents and everything for the rich will prevent anyone from shredding the Cons ution, installing the Muslim brotherhood as overlords or handing the government over to communists, but that has been a primary component of propaganda from conservatives.

Throughout the President’s tenure several different conservatives and Republicans have either called for a violent revolution to “overthrow Obama” or wondered aloud when the military would do its cons utional duty to intervene and take control of the government in a coup d’état. It is true the calls for violence against the government originate from what any sane human being would consider disaffected extremists, but between Republican claims that President Obama is uncons utional, and fear mongering that America is doomed because he was elected twice, a new poll reveals that the six-year Republican propaganda campaign has delivered the intended results.The poll results revealed that when asked if “there is any situation in which you could support the U.S. military taking over the powers of the federal government,” a not-so-surprising 43 percent of Republicans said yes, they would support a military coup d’état to protect America and the Cons ution. Now, for the past six years Republicans have preached, screamed, and warned Americans that President Barack Obama had shred the Cons ution and destroyed “their America” and their propaganda campaign produced the result Republicans lusted after; a plurality of Republicans support the military takeover of America. It is noteworthy that part and parcel of the Republicans’ propaganda and fear-mongering success is due to Americans’ ignorance of the Cons ution and how government works, or the people would be recalling every Republican in Congress forviolating the Cons ution and calling for Justice Department prosecutions against Republicans in Congress for sedition and possibly treason.

The reason such a large percentage of Republicans support a sudden and forced seizure of a government is because they have been conditioned and programmed for six years by a not-so-small group of conservative extremists. Whether they were instigating their followers to abolish the existing government to replace it with a new ruling body made up of the military according to the wishes of 43 percent of Republicans, or summoning “real patriots” to violent revolution, Republicans have nearly accomplished their goal of “taking their country back” to before the Civil War.

In a sense, supporting a military coup is a slight departure from the persistent calls for a second revolution, an assassination attempt on the President’s life, and “2nd Amendment remedies” to “take their country back,” but it is a dangerous concept all the same. A concept, by the way, that establishment Republicans have done absolutely nothing to stop; including never condemning the conservative calls for a violent overthrow or toning down their own lies and hateful rhetoric demonizing the President simply because he is an African American.

In fact, some Republicans have been the source of calls for violent rebellion such as Virginia’s GOP warning that if the President won re-election in 2012 good Republicans would start a violent revolution. In many former Confederate states Republican legislatures have passed legislation authorizing force against federal officials if they dare attempt to enforce federal laws Republicans oppose. During the Bundy ranch sedition and standoff, many Republicans rushed to defend the armed militias and Bundy they claimed were outstanding patriots who were being abused by an overbearing federal government because they executed a federal court order.

This call to war against the President began even before Obama was inaugurated in 2009. One conservative maniac, Rick Wilessaid, “I warned in 2008 that Barack Obama’s mission is to deliberately rip the country apart and if the US Military doesn’t take action soon to arrest Barack Obama and remove him and his regime from the White House, there will be no country left for the military to defend. We are on the edge of collapse as a nation. Jesus Christ is America’s only hope. Let us pray that Almighty God delivers us from this very real tyranny that is persecuting the saints of God.” Likely, saints of god is code among conservatives, Republicans, and teabaggers for “real Americans” who support violence against their own government.

Just prior to Wiles’ call for a military coup, Erik Rush summoned patriots to drive Obama from office by any means necessary, and seriously sick fascist Larry Klayman and cohort Rick Joyner issued simultaneous calls for a military coup because calling for violence against their own government was how real Americans protect the Cons ution. Six years of propaganda and fear-mongering that President Obama was abolishing the Cons ution, coming for good Americans’ guns, and on the verge of rounding up god-fearing Christians and throwing them in FEMA camps achieved the desired goal; convincing 43 percent of Republicans to support a military takeover of the United States government.

Feeble-minded people (ST rightwingnuts, this means you), and those with pathological brain dysfunction, are driven by fear and emotions, so they may not bear responsibility for supporting a military coup against their own government. It is likely that even semi-sane people would be convinced that violence against ‘government tyranny, even if it did not exist, was acceptable after over six years of persistent propaganda warning them their existence was in jeopardy. However, it is more likely that Republicans have become so extreme in their response to not having everything go their way that their only recourse is supporting the violent overthrow of the government that none of the Republican leadership has taken even one minute to condemn as un-American.

Texas Nationalist Movement group wants secession on GOP primary ballot

Texas already seceded once — in 1861, by popular vote in a statewide election.

But the Texas Nationalist Movement wants a repeat a century and a half later, and thinks the March GOP primary is the place to start.

The Nederland-based Texas independence group is circulating a pe ion aimed at getting a non-binding vote onto the GOP primary ballot over whether “the state of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.”

Their goal? 75,000 signatures from registered voters by Dec. 1 — more than the 66,894 the Texas Secretary of State’s office says the group needs to get the language on the ballot.

Even if the Texas Nationalist Movement gets enough signatures, such a vote would be little more than symbolic. Academics agree that Texas cannot secede from the United States, and point to a post-Civil War Supreme Court ruling, Texas v. White, as evidence.

But that hasn’t stopped the Republican Party of Texas from rolling its eyes at the secessionists. Texas GOP communications director Aaron Whitehead said the Republican party certainly doesn’t welcome outside groups trying to doctor the party ballot.

“Historically the executive committee of the Republican Party has chosen what goes on this,” Whitehead said, “and it’s party preference that it stays that way.”

The Texas Nationalist Movement, which hasn’t yet verified how many signatures it has, doesn’t buy the argument that the state can’t secede. Daniel Miller, the group’s president, points to the state Cons ution, and in particular, the provision that gives Texans the right to “alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.”

Miller said the group is going around the state party because past interactions with the GOP weren’t fruitful.

“We have had our hand slapped,” Miller said. “We have been rebuffed, and not just us as an organization, but essentially anyone in any position inside the party that has advocated for this position has been rebuffed.”

Whitehead said there is zero relationship between the GOP and the secessionists, and added that his response to such a ballot proposal would be the same if it were “a resolution giving everybody a unicorn or a resolution for secession.”

If the Texas Nationalist Movement does get the signatures it needs, the Secretary of State’s office says it will be the first time a referendum from a citizen group is put on the Republicans’ statewide primary ballot. Miller acknowledges a majority vote for the referendum wouldn’t be binding, but hopes it would be enough evidence of support to get state leaders to take the issue seriously long-term.

“The end game for us is to have a binding referendum on Texas independence, much like the people of Scotland had in November of last year,” Miller said.

The 2014 vote over Scottish independence from the United Kingdom failed.

Volunteers from the Texas Nationalist Movement are at work across the state, scurrying to get signatures. Miller is optimistic; he says the organization itself has over 200,000 members.

“Texas and Washington, D.C. are on very different paths, and the people of Texas obviously recognize that,” he said. “… The Texas Nationalist Movement message has been one not of reaction to grievance but one of a future we can build as an independent nation.”

Chilling New Poll Finds GOP Fascism Is Very Real

A shocking number of Republicans say they can conceive of a situation in which they'd sympathize with a military coup.


According to this new YouGov poll, these same patriotic Republicans still love the military passionately but are no longer attached to that moldy old concept of civilian control:

“Republicans (43%) are more than twice as likely as Democrats (20%) to say that they could conceive of a situation in which they would support a military coup in the United States.”

More to the point, only 32 percent of Republicans state unequivocally that they would not conceive of a situation in which they would support a military coup. One would be tempted to think this is simply a matter of partisanship, but there is no evidence that Democrats have ever entertained the notion of a military coup, no matter who was president, even one as widely loathed as George W. Bush. It’s as “un-American” as it gets.

For years the right has accused the opposition of being unpatriotic and failing to properly love America. And here they are, endorsing something that’s only seen in Banana Republics and totalitarian police states.

Right-Wingers Accuse Doritos Of Being A Gay Gateway Snack



https://twitter.com/Doritos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Fox News has reported that “Doritos now has a new rainbow-colored corn chip in support of gay and lesbian teens — and they’re already causing a stir.” The chips were unveiled yesterday and it’s taken only moments for right wing skulls to literally explode, revealing nothing beneath.

Right Wing Watch informs us that “John Nolte of Breitbart, who said that Doritos is flying the ‘colors of anti-Christian hate and oppression'” (you know what, I feel religiously oppressed by broccoli!), but as they say, Nolte’s attack “pales” in comparison to what you will read below.This astonishingly stupid monologue comes to you courtesy of “American Thinker,” and is the product of the mind of Ed Straker, senior writer of NewsMachete.com, the conservative news site, who clearly has not put much thinking into this thesis, Want to know what gay tastes like? Try Rainbow Doritos!

The packaging tells buyers that “There’s nothing bolder than being yourself,” and apparently, Straker has taken this advice to heart, revealing a very disturbed person indeed. Read and enjoy!:

PepsiCo, who make Doritos (through subsidiary Frito-Lay), are producing a sexual version of Doritos called “Rainbow Doritos.” Doritos are a product marketed to children, so they make the perfect gateway snack to introduce children to the joys of sexuality.The chips come in several colors. The green are sexual, the pink are lesbian, and the purple ones are transgendered Doritos. These last are Doritos that look purple but actually feel yellow and demand the right to commingle in the snack bags that have only yellow ones.

What business does PepsiCo have pushing sexuality on our kids? This is how far our culture has shifted; it’s perceived to be cool to push a specific sexual orientation on children, even by companies that produce products that have nothing to do with sex. What’s next – gay toilet paper and tampons?

What’s worse is that PepsiCo is “partnering,” in every sense of the word, with a radical sexual group led by a vile man named Dan Savage. Savage has called on Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee to do a certain love act on him (perhaps he is attracted to them?). He has tried to Google-bomb Rick Santorum’s name with an unpleasant gay sex act. PepsiCo seems to have no problem partnering with such a creature.

I think we need to boycott Pepsi and all related Frito-Lay products to deliver a message to Pepsi that if they are going to push gay propaganda on our kids, we are not going to give their products lip service any longer.

Furthermore, I think we should push other companies to launch pro-heterosexual campaigns. Perhaps we could persuade a hot dog maker and a hot dog bun company to do a joint effort promoting man-woman relationships.
Until we try sexualizing food like the left does, we’ll never know. And if we think like the left, we desperately need to find out.Right. Frito-Lay is making a food that will magically turn your kids gay. Cause variously-colored salty chips will do that to you. If they were just a manly color children would be bursting with testosterone. Nobody is pushing anything on anybody, but Straker doesn’t realize nobody is forcing him to buy “gay Doritos” or anything else.

If he had bothered to read Fox News, he would see kids are unlikely to be able to even buy these, as they are available only online:

You won’t be able to find these corn chips in stores. They will be mailed to people who donate at least $10 to the It Gets Better Project, an organization started to encourage gay and lesbian teenagers who’ve been bullied. During the promotion, donors and supporters will also be encouraged to share photos and videos on through a special website and on social media using the hashtag #bolderandbetter.

Straker has no problem with

Rick “Don’t hate on the Crusades” Santorum

telling mainline protestants that they serve the devil, or

that moderate Catholics are not really Catholics at all, or

that liberal Jews hate Israel,

not to mention the loads of anti-gay bigotry Santorum has spread.

Whats really funny about this tirade is that Straker doesn’t want to pay “lip service” to these salty treats.

Hilariously, he thinks matching up hotdogs and buns will send the proper hetero imagery to little boys, who will then grow up thinking about unprotected sex with their female counterparts and somehow evading personal responsibility for the outcome.

It’s the Republican way!

Texas Parents, Therapists Speak Out: No Cuts For Thousands of Special Needs Kids

There were few things Texas legislators loved to talk about more last legislative session thancutting the fat.

The state was spending much too much on core functions like health care, they said, and cuts and cost controls were necessary. Especially for Medicaid.

So cut they did. A rider in the conference committee’s budget, inserted at the 11th hour, made deep cuts to the Texas Medicaid Acute Care Therapy Program. Some had suggested the state paid too much to provide physical, speech and occupational therapy services for special needs children. But instead of applying a scalpel to the “fat,” they took a hacksaw to the program.

The rider ordered the state to cut $50 million a year from the rates that therapy providers are paid, and an additional $25 million a year by making the therapy services cheaper… somehow. All told, the program would have to “save” $150 million in the next two years, which also meant that it would forfeit $200 million in federal matching funds, for a total of $350 million in funding losses.

Ben Carson Says There Should Be A Religious Litmus Test For Presidential Candidates

BEN CARSON: Well, I guess it depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the cons ution, no problem.

TODD: So do you believe that Islam is consistent with the cons ution?

CARSON: No, I don’t, I do not.

TODD: So you–

CARSON: I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.

In suggesting a religious test for potential presidents — where some religions would be “inconsistent” with the cons ution — Carson appears somewhat unfamiliar with the text of the cons ution. Article VI, paragraph 3 of the United States cons ution states “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

5 Imaginary Problems GOP Candidates Would Rather Solve Than Real Ones

1. America is in too few wars.

The perception that Carly Fiorina “won” the debate has been confirmed by her rise in the polls. This also confirms that Republican voters didn’t hear what she was really saying beneath her flurry of falsehoods punctuated by an occasional fact like the name of a general, or they’re convinced that America’s problem is that we can’t decide if we would rather have a war with Russia or Iran first.

The Daily Beast‘s Michael Tomasky unpacked Fiorina’s rhetoric and laid out promises to provoke war by abandoning our allies who joined the Iran deal or by directly provoking Vladimir Putin in Estonia, for some reason. “World War III could start there, and all it would take is an errant American military s landing in the wrong backyard,” he wrote. “Or World War IV, in case President Fiorina has already started III in the Middle East.” Fiorina was fine with doing business with Iran and Russia as she was wrecking HP. But as we face the never-ending consequences — including the rise of ISIS and a nearly unprecedented refugee crisis — of a needless, disastrously prosecuted war in Iraq, her solution is “Let’s turn the world into Iraq.”

2. The richest pay too much in taxes.

Our economy is stuck in a wage gap that’s at least in part a result of the richest Americans sucking up most of the gains of the economy — a trend that began when Ronald Reagan presided over the top tax rate being cut from 70 percent to 28 percent. Ironically, the only guy on the stage at the GOP debate who has said the rich — at least some of the rich — should pay more in taxes is the billionaire.

Trump would at least eliminate the carried interest loophole that benefits hedge fund managers. Take a look at the tax plans the candidates have issued: Jeb Bush would slash the top rate down to where Reagan left it. Rand Paul, Ben Carson, and Ted Cruz would implement a flat tax that would charge billionaires the same rate as a widow with four kids. Huckabee is pushing a regressive tax that would tax consumption the way most states regressively do. Rubio’s plan would likely cut hedge fund managers’ tax rate to zero — zero. This isn’t trickle-down economics. It’s sucking-up economics.

The two longest stretches of private sector job creation in American history have happened under the last two Democratic presidents. The first began by raising the top tax rate. The current one sped up as higher rates on the rich kicked in along with new taxes on those earning more than $200,000 a year to fund Obamacare. Republican candidates think this kind of job creation is a problem we need to solve. And while you’re at it, get rid of the regulation on big banks that could prevent another crash!

3. America needs to do less about climate change.

“America is not a planet,” Marco Rubio said as he began his totally fallacious argument about why America shouldn’t do anything to fight climate change. Not understanding climate change is Rubio’s expertise. He doesn’t get that the pursuit of cleaner energy lowers utility costs, speeds job creation, and has resulted in the first reduction in carbon emissions in a growing economy for decades.

President Obama has done more than every other president combined to fight climate change (and yes, it’s a low bar). The pervasive presence of solar panels and electric cars should endure like plaques on WPA projects reminding us what Roosevelt did to save our economy. Rubio wants to make sure that doesn’t happen so that his plan to submerge Miami and much of South Florida under the sea will be the symbol of the 21st century that the future will remember (if anyone is still above water).

4. We’re providing poor people — especially women — with too much health insurance.

Just before this debate, we learned that our uninsured rate is at a recorded low. Meanwhile layoffs per capita have never been lower. This may be why only Ted Cruz repeated the incessant GOP vow to repeal every word of Obamacare. Republicans have a more serious issue on their minds: defunding the largest provider of health care to low-income women in the United States. All of the governors on stage have done this in their states, denying residents valuable services that are rarely replaced except with “crisis pregnancy centers” that freely lie to vulnerable women. In 103 counties, Planned Parenthood is the only provider of family planning services for poor people. We’ve made extraordinary leaps in women’s health thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the most pro-life bill ever signed by a U.S. president. It prevents unintended pregnancies and lowers costs for women. Apparently, that’s a terrible problem Republicans want to solve.

5. Immigrants are ruining everything.

With all the anxiety the GOP base is feeling over the “loss” of a white majority in America, it’s easy to forget that net immigration has been about zero for years, the border has never been more secure, and violent crime is at a generational low. While Donald Trump is casually promising what would amount to a full-scale self-invasion that would spend billions of dollars to round up law-abiding residents, it’s easy to forget that integrating immigrants into our economy isn’t a problem, it’s a necessity. If you’re insistent on gutting Medicare, Social Security and anything else that helps workers, you probably want to get rid of the next generation of Americans who can help make these programs sustainable. But if you want an America with a middle class, smart immigration is a big part of the solution.

Republican Maine mayor wants to shame the poor by giving public access to welfare recipients’ addresses

Macdonald argued that people had a right to know who welfare recipients were because the names of pensioners were already public.

“[O]ur liberal, progressive legislators and their social-service allies have made them a victimized, protected class,” the mayor complained. “It’s none of your business how much of your money they get and spend. Who are you to question it? Just shut up and pay!”

“Well, the days of being quiet are gone,” he continued. “We will be submitting a bill to the next legislative session asking that a website be created containing the names, addresses, length of time on assistance and the benefits being collected by every individual on the dole. After all, the public has a right to know how its money is being spent.”

Lewiston said that he would submit other bills to cap welfare payments at 60 months for a lifetime, and to stop any child from receiving benefits if the child was born into a family already on welfare.

Dead Breitbart’s Ghost Forced To Pay Up For Murdering Shirley Sherrod’s Career

Remember about a million years ago in 2010 when Barack Obama was still just getting started on his project of turning all Americans against each other by being a huge racist who forced teabaggers to bring racist signs to rallies, and there was this great hero named Andrew Breitbart who proved that the REAL racists were the NAACP, and he proved it with a video showing Department of Agriculture employee Shirley Sherrod telling a racist story at an NAACP meeting?

Except how the video was carefully-edited bull , but Sherrod lost her job anyway, and a year later she sued Breitbart for defamation?

Yeah, THAT Shirley Sherrod! Well here is some new News!

Sherrod has reached a settlement in the case with the widow of Dead Andrew Breitbart, who is still dead (Breitbart, not the widow), after Barack Obama assassinated him with a heart attack.
As you no doubt recall, the Sherrod got canned by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack like twenty minutes after the Breitbart post went up, to show that the Obama administration would allow no anti-white racists in its ranks, except of course that she wasn’t and hadn’t been.

Considering that the mere mention of Sherrod on a rightwing website today can still stir up a bunch of butthurt from people convinced that she was a one-woman black version of the KKK, we hope she got a ton of money from Breitbart’s widow, since there’s no way she can ever return to peaceful anonymity.
