Top Ten Conservative idiots of the week

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]NO CNN/NBC ALLOWED Edition[/font]

We're back again chronicling the dumb things Republicans and conservatives do and say. Our perennial favorite, Louie Gohmert (3) drums up Alex Jones-ish conspiracy theories, Tom Coburn (5) get a hardon talking impeachment, Ron Paul (6) doesn't check the people he will give speeches to (most people in politics for the money don't care) and and Tennessee county sheriff (8) has interesting ideas how how to enforce immigration laws. And as always, don't forget the key.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]RNC[/font]


It is amazing what the name Clinton does to Republicans. They hate that name. Some unwashed hick from podunk Arkansas whipped their Washington Insider/former chief Spook in 1992 and they haven't gotten over it yet. They impeached that man for getting oral sex (sure, lying. . .whatever). But while the man Clinton can never be president again, the female Clinton can and she looks stronger than ever now, even though she has not committed at all.

Overgrown man-child and person-in-desperate-need-of-a-timeout Reince Priebus has decided that the Republicans need to take a stand against the Clintons. Well. . .not reall the Clintons. . .just two networks in the works of making a documentary on Hillary Clinton's life, staring Diane Lane. So what did they do to show their displeasure? Probably the dumbest, most immature and self destructive thing a political party can do: Banned CNN and NBC from broadcasting their '16 Republican comedyfests. . .I mean debate. Take it away, Boy in a Man Suit:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“We’re done putting up with this nonsense,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said ahead of the vote. “There are plenty of other outlets. We’ll still reach voters, maybe more voters. But CNN and NBC anchors will just have to watch on their competitors’ networks.”

Ooo, that will show 'em. Watch it from the comfort of the CNN and NBC studios so the smell of Republican bullcrap doesn't waft up the nose, blocking logic and intelligence. You sure showed them, Man-Child.

As for that outreach thing. . .the people that drool and watch Fox Nooze will always vote for you. Those CNN and NBC viewers, however, might not. Please proceed to spite your face, RNC.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“It’s appalling to know executives at major networks like NBC and CNN who have donated to Democrats and Hillary Clinton have taken it upon themselves to be Hillary Clinton’s campaign operatives,” Priebus wrote at the time. In the weeks since then, the RNC chairman embarked on a media blitzkrieg looking to pressure both NBC and CNN to cancel their projects.

You mean Fox Nooze doesn't do that? John Kaisch was a former anchor there and is now governor of Ohio. . .Fox Nooze gave him all sorts of operative good-tidings in their broadcasts.

Anyway, CNN was not impressed. Their response was candid, straight-forward and very succinct.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“This documentary will be a nonfiction look at the life of a former first lady and secretary of state,” CNN spokeswoman Barbara Levin said. “Instead of making premature decisions about a project that is in the very early stages of development and months from completion, we would encourage the members of the Republican National Committee to reserve judgment until they know more.”

Haven't you morons in the mainstream media realized this is the SOP MO of the modern teabagger overrun Republican insane asylum. Make conclusions, lie to back them up, get catch, lie about lying then run to Sean Hannity to wipe and clean them. The only people this should surprise are. . .wait, no one.

Doesn't matter though. What you are watching are the beginning death throes of a major American political party. There isn't enough popcorn in the world to eat watching and enjoying this show.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Louisiana Republicans[/font]


August 29th, 2005. That's the day Hurricane Katrina made landfall and pretty much flatten three states, including the major city of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst, if not the worst, meteorological event in the history of recorded weather.

We all remember Chimpy “strumming” a guitar with Mark Willis in San Diego while New Orleans was getting leveled. We all remember Ray Nagin going nuts trying to salvage his city. We all remember the Horse Whisperer/FEMA Chief Michael Brown being told “you're doing a heckvua job.”

Pretty obvious to me that Bush dropped the ball. So, when PPP did a poll and asked Louisiana Republicans who was responsible for the poor response, 28% said Bush. 44% said not sure (because their heads are in the clouds). . .the other 29%? Take a guess.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Twenty-eight percent said they think former President George W. Bush, who was in office at the time, was more responsible for the poor federal response while 29 percent said Obama, who was still a freshman U.S. Senator when the storm battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, was more responsible. Nearly half of Louisiana Republicans — 44 percent — said they aren't sure who to blame.

Umm, what? The unsure people have their head in the clouds. These people seem to enjoy wearing their asshats. Maybe the question was worded weirdly.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Who do you think is more responsible for the poor response for Hurricane Katrina: George Bush or Barack Obama.

Rather straight-forward question. The people who answered it are idiots. But what you will also notice are two things: 82% identified themselves are conservative. . .and 37% are over 65, while only 28% are under 45. Those death throes keep coming, Republicans.


[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Louie Gohmert[/font]


Louie Gohmert (R-Mars) is a DU staple. Lunatics of this type are so hard to find. I mean, seriously look how much on DU there is about this guy.

Ask him about anchor babies. . .terror anchor babies. . .baby anchors. . .if there is a conspiracy theory that would make Alex Jones happy, Louie Gohmert believes it. Let's look at the first thing the Redneck Loon has to say.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Tuesday that the Republican leadership is "scared to death" of efforts to block funding for ObamaCare, fearing the strategy could end the GOP's House majority.
"They think if we have a shutdown, or a big showdown, we may lose the majority, and they will lose their leadership positions," Gohmert said at an event in Longview, Texas, according to the Longview News-Journal.

Yeah, they are scared to death! They voted forty times to repeal it. . .forty times it was DOA upon reaching the Senate. So, your party goes all funhouse mirror and screams defund. The teabag jihadist clique (which you are a part of) now throws your leadership under the bus because your leadership has cold feet about throwing the country under the bus.
But, the Redneck Loon wasn't finished with that turd of wisdom. More drivel came out of his mouth in the form of giving reasons why people encourage vaccinations. First, let's look at what the host said:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]HOST: “A lot of people who fancy themselves elites, right, because they’ve made a lot of money, their names are all over the media and so forth, they’ve really signed on to an agenda that requires the depopulation of the globe, and in the name of fighting global climatological change, called global warming — that’s proven to be something that’s wrong — they are saying that we’ve got to cut back the population of the world.”

HOST:“They’re preaching that doctrine because they actually believe we’re a blight on the face of the planet, we human beings. And we should, therefore, be put on a path toward our own semi-extinction. I often try to get people to see that if you think about it, if we actually get back to the levels they’re talking about, it would just be these elitists and the people needed to service them. That’s all that will be left in the world.

He said this all from the safe echo chamber of Alan Keyes's intellectual vacuum on Fox Nooze. So how did Gohmert respond to this mindless fearmongering by on mouthpiece of those elite?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“That’s a scary thought,” Gohmert agreed.

Yes, it would be scary. . .in Soylent Green. In “To Serve Man.” In “The Andromeda Strain.” You know, works of fiction. This is real life Gomer. . .the only scary thought is that there are enough braindead people in your party of Texas that keep re-electing a sub-human to Congress named Louie Gohmert. Those death throes are getting bigger.


[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Sean Hannity[/font]


Sean Hannity, Fox Nooze's answer to a howler monkey, has gone on the air and said, over the years, just some of the dumbest things in the world. When he interviews people he agrees with, he tosses them softballs (George Bush? Love him or worship him?) while through questions at his political opponents that cannot be answered, similar to being asked “do you still beat your wife,” or “the president is the leader of America. Why do you hate America?”

His SOP is pretty standard. Now, along with Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Louie Gohmert and the rest of the clique in the GOP's war on common sense, Hannity has drawn a line in the sand.

While Rep. Trey Gordy (R-SC) was talking about some magical GOP “come to Jesus moment, Hannity did to his guest what he knows to do best. . .interrupt.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]This is it for me," Hannity interrupted. "I'm going to tell you, congressman, you guys don't do this, you've lost me. I'm done. Because there's no difference between you, then, and the Democrats at that point. None.

Really? That's all it will take? What will it take for you to leave the country, Sean? Single-Payer and free higher education for all people. . .as well as everyone having the right to vote without producing ID.

What will it take for you to leave the human race? Wait, you were never part of that to begin with.

So, Sean. . .the door is there. Don't just leave your Republican Party. . .leave everything! Since you're being thrown off the air in a short while anyway.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Tom Coburn[/font]


Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn has made many dumb statements in the past (this seems to be a theme this week. Returnees coming back with more idiotic bull burping from their oral orifices.

Senator Colburn is no exception. Remember in August 15th's edition of the Top Ten, Blake Farenthood (he's #7) said they have enough votes in the House to impeach Barack Obama. It's only a matter of time.

This is just before another congressman, Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI) said impeaching Obama would “be a dream come true.”

What does Tommy think about this? Does Tom Coburn think his “personal friend” warrants all this [link:http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/tom-coburn-obama-impeachment-95822.html|impeachment talk?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) joined with a handful of other Republican politicians Wednesday, warning the President that his impeachment could be near.

According to Tulsa World, at a convention in Muskogee, Okla., Coburn said Wednesday that the president was “getting perilously close” to the Constitutional standard for impeachment.

Never leave it to a Republican to throw people under a bus. Louie Gohmert is doing it to the House Leadership. . .and Coburn is doing it to his “personal friend.” And with friends like Tom Coburn, what enemies does Barack Obama truly need?

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Ron Paul[/font]


Politics and religion will always have a home in the modern Republican Party. It's just a fact of the world. Republicans pander to guns, God and the Upper 1%. The last one is a group of people that uses the rubes that only believe in guns, Gods and keeping minorities in check so the Upper 1% can keep milking the country dry.

Ron Paul, during his numerous failed presidential campaigns worked a little on the hard side to be not as extreme as this fellow Republicans by being more moderate on religious ideas, as opposed to Sam Brownback, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee. This is good because he wanted to lead a White House with libertarianism (that sucks) without religious interference (that's okay).

So, please, Mr. Paul, explain this!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Paul, the former Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate, is the keynote speaker of the weeklong conference for the Fatima Center, slated for Sept. 8-13 in Niagara Falls, Ontario. A physician before entering politics, Paul got into considerable hot water in 2008 when The New Republic published “Angry White Man,” an article about the contents of newsletters he published. What the newsletters revealed, the magazine reported, “are decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews and gays.” Paul denied writing the newsletters that bore his name.

For those who do not know the Fatima Center, here they are listed as a hate group on the wikipedia page of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Most have been shunned or ex-communicated. Most of their ideas have been rejected. Even the Vatican doesn't acknowledge them.

Another one of their speakers at this conference is John F. McManus. Let's look at who this guy is.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]John F. McManus, the president of the archconservative John Birch Society (JBS) is also listed as a speaker at the Canadian conference. JBS has been dogged for decades by charges of anti-Semitism, accusations society leaders vehemently deny. Those same leaders, however, take great pride in JBS being at the forefront of the conspiracy-fueled attacks on Agenda 21, a non-binding United Nations plan for sustainable development around the world.

Right-wing and racist. Why would Ron Paul be part of this? Pandering? Ignorance? Showing his true colors finally?

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Phyllis Schlafly [/font]


Wicked Witch of the Past Phyllis Schlafly returns to the forefront again, walking from her ugly nap and poking her head out of the pit she calls a home to write a rather interesting article for World Nut Daily.

See, Republicans, according to Schlafly, are really pissed off that voters in 2008 DARED to voted and give their 15 electoral votes to that Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Czar-having Kenyan with a fake birth certificate. So, when they gained control of the government in North Carolina in 2010, they decided to enact [link:
http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2013/08/26/20197189-how-not-to-defend-voter-suppression-in-north-carolina?lite|legislative revenge]. Due tell, Phil-gly.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama's ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama's national field director admitted, shortly before last year's election, that "early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election."

The Obama technocrats have developed an efficient system of identifying prospective Obama voters and then nagging them (some might say harassing them) until they actually vote. It may take several days to accomplish this, so early voting is an essential component of the Democrats' get-out-the-vote campaign.

Technocrats? You mean canvassers? GOTV callers? People campaigning independently for the candidate they support? And they were. . .dear God. . .nagged and harassed until they actually voted. Oh the shame for asking people to do their civil duty, spend five minutes of their live and vote for the candidate of their choice. Don't worry, Phil-gly. Most can't do that anymore in North Carolina now.

One of the things North Carolina did was limited Early Voting. Don't worry. . .Schlafly has a good argument FOR that too. Voting is unconstitutional.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Early voting is actually contrary to the spirit of the U.S. Constitution. Article II states, “the Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes, which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.” Federal law sets the date for national elections on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

Daily Kos sums up this bullshit better than I can. All I know is have she was done, Schlafly yelled at some kids to get off her lawn, looked up, saw the sun, got scared and hid back in her pit, signifying six more weeks of silence from her.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones [/font]


Who is Jimmy Jones? The title explains. Another small down sheriff with big time dreams, like Mark Kessler in Pennsylvania.

Jimmy Jones sees undocumented workers on the street, in grocery stores, under his bed, in his toilet, up his ass. Then blasted furreners are everywhere! How will a good elected law enforcement officer stop the massive flood of illegal immigrations from overtaking and during Knoxville into Cuidad De Knoxville? His solution is rather blunt, racist and possibly illegal,

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A Tennessee sheriff is so outraged that the federal government won't authorize his police force to enforce federal immigration laws that he's ready to take it out on undocumented immigrants.

"If need be, I will stack these violators like cordwood in the Knox County Jail until the appropriate federal agency responds," Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones said in a statement on Wednesday.

You heard it here first folks. Undocumented workers are now pieces of plywood to be shoved into a jail like Jews were shoved into cattle cars to wait whatever the State's decision about them is. How many per cell, Jimmy? 400? About about a 1000? What if they are legal, but do not have their papers on them at the time? What if they aren't bad foreigners (brown, black and yellow) and good foreigners (white) that break law and are undocumented? Come to think of it, you look awfully Canadian to me. Maybe an officers in your Department should arrest you and stack you like cordwood.

What about the laws you will break to do this? Do you care about them?

"What part of illegal does he not understand?"

Small town redneck sheriffs like this remind me of the joke I posted below.

He walked up and had flies in front of you face. One liberal says to the other “Don't say anything about those flies.”

Sure enough, soon as Sheriff JJ arrived, the other said “Those are Zuzu flies, officer.”

“Boy, what's a Zuzu fly?”

“Well you normally find them around a horse's ass.

JJ looked at the man and said “Are you saying my face looks like a horse's ass?”

“No,” the liberal smiled. “But you can't fool a zuzu fly.”

rimshot!

#9 is a very short entry because I do not want to waste the bandwidth on these people. They have forfeited the honor of being called humans.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, JUST MADE BEING HOMELESS A CRIME!!!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]City council members in Columbia, S.C., recently voted unanimously to criminalize homelessness.

Concerned that Columbia has become a “magnet for homeless people,” and that businesses and the area’s safety are suffering as a result, council members agreed on Aug. 14 to give people on the streets the option to either relocate, or get arrested, according to the city’s “Emergency Homeless Response” report.

Cooperative homeless people will be given the option to go to a remote 240-person bed emergency shelter, which will be open from September to March. The shelter will also be used as a drop-off for people recently released from prison and jail, too.

A hotline will be set up for passersby to “report” a homeless person that needs to be removed, additional police will be dispensed to monitor the streets and vans will escort the homeless to the shelter.

No job training, no assistance, no nothing. Just move or jail. How Christian. Exactly what Jesus would do. And Jesus would always setup a snitch line for people to report a homeless that needs to be removed, more than likely in a black van with a black bag of the homeless person's head.

The War on the poor never ends.

Excuse me, after writing #9, I need to take a long shower.

And finally, the human herpes virus that is un-CONVICTED cold blooded murderer George Zimmerman has been keeping busy. He's done a lot since the jury told the first degree homicide prep that he's not guilty. And I don't mean putting on a superhero cape and rushing in to save a family from a burning car and then mysteriously disappearing before news media could arrive.

Now, first, Georgie went to visit a gun factory. Specifically, the factory of the manufacturer that made the gun he used to shot a black child in the heart. And lawyers aren't happy.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“We certainly would not have advised him to go to the factory that made the gun that he used to shoot Trayvon Martin through the heart,” Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for attorney Mark O’Mara, told Yahoo News. “That was not part of our public relations plan.”

Oops. . .sweet lovable Georgie is going rogue now that he doesn't need those stupid lawyers to save his ass.
Next on Zimmer-man's agenda: Using his lawyers and another Florida law to get the state to reimburse him his legal fees.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin, plans to ask the state of Florida to cover $200,000 to $300,000 of his legal expenses, his attorney told the Orlando Sentinel Monday evening.

Because Zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires Florida to pay all his legal costs, minus the biggest one: the fee that goes to his lawyers.

That includes the cost of expert witnesses, travel, depositions, photocopies, even that animated 3-D video that defense attorneys showed jurors during closing argument that depicts Trayvon punching Zimmerman.

Bravo for the Orlando Sentinel for saying exactly what George did in the first sentence: KILLED TRAYVON MARTIN.

Finally, we get insights into his family life, from his wife, who claims he is emotionally abusive. Surprise, surprise.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The Florida investigative journalist who is the first reporter to sit down with George Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, said that during their “stunning” hourlong interview, the acquitted killer’s wife said that her husband has “beaten down her self-esteem,” but she is “looking forward to getting her life back.”

Christi O’Connor spoke with ABCNews.com today about her experience locking down an interview with Shellie Zimmerman as the media focused its attention on her husband, who was acquitted of second-degree murder charges in the death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, in Sanford, Fla., in February 2012.

Today, Shellie Zimmerman was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and one year’s probation, plus she will have to present an apology letter to the judge she lied to about the couple’s finances. O’Connor said that after months of courting her and her attorney, she was able to secure the interview with Shellie about her life leading up to and since her husband’s trial.

“When I asked her why she was doing [the interview], Shellie said, ‘I want to start my life back.’ George Zimmerman has beaten down her self-esteem,” O’Connor told ABCNews.com, adding that Shellie is using this opportunity for a new start. “She has a moment in the spotlight. She wants everyone to know that she changed her life.”

Okay, I can accept that. George is a bully. We all know that. He beat you down emotionally, controlled everything. Ex-girlfriends put out restraining orders on him.

What about the Martins? Maybe you should begin by explaining your actions to them first. Maybe them you will have a bit more sympathy from people.

Then divorce that asshole and get as far away as you can. He has killed once. He'll do it again.

See you next week.

Top Ten Conservative idiots of the week (early due to trip to Beijing tomorrow)

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]”It Doesn't. . .” Edition[/font]

I know it's early, but hear me out. I will be going to Beijing this weekend for a conference. I am leaving tomorrow night. I will not have time to do the Top Ten list while I am there, so I am publishing it a day early. Normally, I publish on Fridays (China time) as a way to start me weekend with a smile. This time, I am publishing on Thursday, due to the time constraints and the fact that I love all of you so much that we need this list every week.

So, let's begin!

Oh, what a week! This week, the two key phrase used in the Top Ten are “It doesn't. . .” and “asshole.” Because there are a huge crop of a-holes this week.

Rand Paul (1) declares himself void of convictions (it doesn't surprise anyone), British Pentecostal pastors (3) give out free medical advice to HIV patients (it doesn't involve doctors), the Tea Party (4) shows their amount of humanity (it doesn't exist), various Republican lawmakers (6, 7, 8) show us their intelligence (it doesn't measure up) and our old buddy Ted Nugent (10) rants (it doesn't make any sense). And as always, don't forget the key.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Rand Paul[/font]


First off, it doesn't get any hypocritical. Because the cracks in the rhetoric are beginning to show in the Tea-Party jihadist-led Republican Party. Their darlings (Cruz, Rubio, Lee, Tomey, Johnson, Paul) are all screaming for government shutdowns in order to defund Obamacare. Oh, Christ. . .there we go again. Apparently, they forgot 1995 and 1996 when they shutdown the government over Neutron Newt's little Air-Force One temper tantrum. Let's see what would happen to the country in a current setting if the GOP gets their way. According to Think Progress:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A shutdown would likely cause 800,000 federal employees around the country to be furloughed, disrupting public services even further than sequestration cuts already have. A shutdown would also freeze many government programs like small business lending and environmental assessments for construction projects, exacerbating sequestration’s damage to the economy.

Yes, this is all not good. We shouldn't have it, unless it's a way of fucking Obama over and completely screw over those mooching poor that get everything handed to them (wait, that's the banks). Not that the GOP cares about 800K federal employees, public services or sequestration at all. Their masters wants the buy the country. And the GOP is willing to service Mammon while pandering to God.

However, cracks are appearing. Rug Doctor Rand Paul (R-Lowest Rung of Hell) seems to be second guessing himself and his idea of shutdowns. He seems to be flip flopping.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"](Rand) Paul has been one of the leading people calling on Congress to block a resolution that would fund the government unless money for Obamacare is not included in the bill. He was one of the fifteen senators to sign onto a letter vowing to block funding the health care law. But on Sunday, Paul told Fox News Sunday that, “I don’t think shutting down the government is a good idea.”

Oh, the safe echo chamber of Fox “News” Sunday. Way to be out there pandering to your insane base, moron. The rest of the country thinks you're a one toupee short of a hat-rack, but you'll pander to people that will vote for you because of. . .oh who knows?

Please proceed, dipshit!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Still, Paul went on, “I do think that we were elected, conservatives were elected, to try to stop this overreach, this government takeover of healthcare,” and so “we should use the leverage of controlling one-third of the government… to at the very least make that law less bad, delay it, do something we can to protect the American public from the law.”

Newsflash, Paulie. . .you don't control 1/3 of the government. You barely control the House of Representatives and have a tenuous hold on the SCOTUS. So, keep dreaming, son. . .keep dreaming.

But where the hypocrisy comes in is the fact that even though he doesn't think it's a good idea, he hopes the Republican Party does it.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Acknowledging that support for a shutdown isn’t broad enough in the Senate, Paul said that his colleagues in the House of Representatives should instead be the ones to make defunding the health law a priority: “We don’t control all of the government, but Republicans control the House of Representatives, they should stand up, use that power to at the very least make that law less bad, delay it, do something we can to protect the American public from the law,”

Yes, enough support to throw red meat to the base, but then backtrack enough to cover your ass when the shutdown you push for fails, throwing the House Republicans under the bus. And I see Greyhound coming now!

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"] The RNC[/font]


It doesn't get any more childish. But before we explain why, let's look at what RNC Chair Reince Priebus (I do not know how to pronounce his name, so I will call him Rinse Penis) said about immigration critics last week.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In condemning Rep. Steve King's incendiary comments on immigration, RNC chairman Reince Priebus swept in his party's presidential nominee, saying that talk of "self-deportation" was "horrific" and even "racist."

Mitt Romney repeatedly used the term during the Republican primary campaign to talk about how his immigration enforcement policies would lead to unauthorized immigrants leaving the U.S. of their own accord, rather than needing to be deported.

"Using the word 'self-deportation' — it's a horrific comment to make," Priebus said, in a forceful rebuke. "I don't think it has anything to do with our party. When someone makes those comments, obviously, it's racist."

Well, duh. . .it is racist. I should thank you for saying that. It needed to be said because Steve Klu Klux King needs to get smacked down a lot (though his last anti-immigration rally). Please proceed, Mr. Priebus. From Talking Points Memo:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]RNC chair Reince Priebus, promoting a new RNC report calling on the party to support immigration reform, told CNNs Wolf Blitzer Monday that he was disappointed with Mitt Romney's handling of the issue. But he understated just how close Romney's position was to the broader GOP at the time.
"One of the issues that I think really cut pretty badly within the Hispanic communities [was] when Mitt Romney talked about self-deportation," Priebus told CNN. He added that "it's a concept that really doesn't -- it's not our party's position. But it was something that i think hit every Hispanic kitchen table across America."

Wow. I'm impressed at this inclusiveness the GOP Chairman is showing. Maybe there will be a turn and the GOP will finally shed it's “racist, homophobic, jingoistic, misogynistic” reputation and open its arms for all Americans. Let's see if their Party's Platform supports this new, inclusive rhetoric.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"We will create humane procedures to encourage illegal aliens to return home voluntarily, while enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas." In addition, the current GOP platform declares that "State efforts to reduce illegal immigration must be encouraged, not attacked."

Who woulda thunk? Say one thing, then talk out the other side of your mouth. What a surprise! So, basically, Rinse Penis is a penis.

But don't do anything they don't like. They will cry to mommy, take their ball and go home. NBC and CNN are planning to run a documentary on Hillary Clinton. Rinse Penis and the RNC will threaten to boycott your network!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The Republican party resolved on Friday to boycott any 2016 presidential debates sponsored by CNN and NBC if the networks go ahead with plans to make special programs on Hillary Clinton, who is widely expected to seek the Democratic nomination.

Delegates to a meeting of the Republican National Committee voted for a resolution including the boycott and said the programs would be "little more than extended commercials promoting former Secretary Clinton."

What is Rush Limbaugh's show? Neil Boortz? Glenn Beck? Sean Hannity? Bill O'Reilly? Fox “News?” To me, they are “little more than extended commercials promoting” every Republican trouser stain that infects the American body politic.

So let's look at the score: Public racism a la Klu Klux King = bad! Private racism in a platform no one will read, except those who keep up on their shit = Good. Hillary Clinton documentary on CNN and NBC = bad! 24 hate Democrats on AM Radio, Fox “News,” TBN, Hallmark, and all ring wing newspaper and magazine rags = good! Gotcha! They don't even hide their hypocrisy anymore.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]British Pentecostal Pastors[/font]


It doesn't get any crazier. Apparently, pentecostal pastors in Britain have a revolutionary new therapy for those with HIV live and survive with the disease. Hint: It involves insane worship!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Medical staff told the BBC a minority of pastors in England were endangering young church members by putting them under pressure to stop medication.

Healing is central to Pentecostalism, a radical belief in the power of prayer and miracles.

(mouth open, stupid look on my face). Thought only Christian Scientists (there's a misnomer of a religion) thought this crap. “Doctor tells me I nee chemo for my stage three cancer, but I will not do that and pray that it will go away because I believe in God.” Logical thought doesn't enter into a fundie's mind.

Let's see what these good Christians do and tell people with HIV in their parishes.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The doctors and health professionals reported a variety of cases:

Some said they had dealt with parents who felt under pressure to stop giving their young children their HIV medicine - and some had actually done so

Others were breastfeeding mothers with HIV who refused the medicine that would stop the virus being passed onto their babies

Some were young people, making the decision for themselves

The healthcare workers also reported that some patients had been told by their pastors they would be healed by prayer or by drinking blessed water.

Drink this holy water. . .you will live longer. And it will prove you are not a demon, devil or a vampire too!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The healthcare workers also reported that some patients had been told by their pastors they would be healed by prayer or by drinking blessed water.

Sixteen-year-old Oliver (not his real name) said he was told by a pastor to swap his HIV medicine for a plastic bottle containing water that would heal him.

He said many others had come under the same pressure.

"I've been to other churches where... the pastor stands forth there, and he says 'come take this water... if you drink it for this certain amount of days, you are going to be healed'," he said.

Snake oil comes in new forms these days. What happened to this guy? He stopped taking his meds and too a turn for the worse until his mother found his “miracle cure” and stopped the ultimate cure of HIV. . .death!

Still, the pastors have their apologists.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Pentecostal pastor Stevo Atanasio, from the East London Christian Church, said that among his congregation, blind people had recovered sight, deaf people had heard again, and what were considered terminal illnesses had been cured.

"We don't say to people 'don't take your medication don't go to the doctor'. I mean we never say that," he said.

"But we believe that the first healing comes from inside, it's a spiritual healing. Some people are hurt, they have broken hearts. If you are healed from inside, then you are healed from outside as well."

I can accept that you don't directly. However, in your mind controlling cult of a religion, threatening a mindless rube with hell, fire and damnation because they take anti-retroviral medication rather than injesting holy water miracle cure (patent pending) seems to be the same thing as telling people not to go to a doctor.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Tea Party[/font]


It doesn't get more cruel. Four quick stories about how pathetic the tea party is and has become (wait. . .they've always been there).

First, there's the story of tea-bagger-ific Congressman Mark Wayne Mullin of (R-Bloviating) who attacks people receiving welfare, but. . .

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Mullin who brags about turning the plumbing company into a successful business never mentions the government help he received to make it thrive. Or if he did not need the money to prop up his plumbing firm, he never mentions that his business was “physically fit” and that he did not actually need stimulus money to keep it afloat.

Way to go,grifter! Fuck those welfare frauds good and hard. . .take money for your business you don't need. Asshole! Did I ever mention I hate businessmen?

Second, little Josie Molina in Tennessee asked a question to uber-loon Scott Desjarlais (R-Heartless) about her father.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]During a question and answer session at the meeting, Molina stepped up to the microphone and, with a quavering voice, asked, “Mr. DesJarlais, I have papers, but I have a dad who’s undocumented. What can I do to have him stay with me?”

What did the tea bagger say?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Rather than make any attempt to assuage the girl’s fears, Desjarlais said, “Thank you for being here and thank you for coming forward and speaking,” but “the answer still kind of remains the same, that we have laws and we need to follow those laws and that’s where we’re at.”

The tea party crowd whooped and applauded wildly as the little girl took her seat, head down.

They applauded this girl losing her father. They fucking cheered!

The girl is now in counseling and the father is in the middle of deportation hearings. Way to support breaking up a family, asshole!

Third, the tea party set it's sights on a tax to support public libraries.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In September 2012 the Library Board of Pulaski County, Kentucky raised property taxes $1 per year for a typical homeowner to maintain the existing level of services in its five libraries. Voters were not given the opportunity to reject the increase; in 2006 however, they were and resoundingly approved a much larger increase to finance a new library.

But in 2006 the county and the country did not have a Tea Party. That grassroots movement sprang up early 2009 in fury at the federal government’s attempt to help millions of people facing foreclosure stay in their homes. In 2010 it escalated into a full-throated attack on the federal government’s attempt to expand medical care access to tens of millions. By 2012 the Tea Party movement’s virulent anti-government, anti-tax philosophy and take-no-prisoners, I’m-not-my-brother’s-keeper attitude had come to define American politics.

How much was the tax and what was their gripe? $1 DOLLAR!?!?!?! Who needs libraries? Fat, drunk and stupid works for teabaggers.

Finally, don't be gay in San Antonio, because teabaggers will boo you if you speak. . .even if you are a veteran that lost your leg fighting for your country.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Former Marine Staff Sergeant Eric Alva — a San Antonio native who was the first American service member seriously injured in the Iraq War when he stepped on a land mine in March 2003 and lost his right leg — was speaking in favor of a proposed addition to the city’s non-discrimination law that would add protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and veteran status.

But as Alva began to deliver his remarks, many in the crowd of approximately 200 people attending the council meeting began to boo.

“To all you people that preach the word of God, shame on you because God loves me, like the day I laid bleeding on the sands of Iraq and that’s why he saved me,” Alva told the crowd as left the podium, still visibly shaken from the crowd’s reaction.

Gordon Lightfoot said it best in the song “Don Quixote:” “See the soldier with his gun/who must be dead to be admired.” If this marine just died like he needed to die, there would be no problems and he would not be booed.

It's a slap in the face for all veterans that there are homeless veterans, but being booed for speaking and using the freedoms someone gave their leg and lives for so bigoted, racist, homophobic assholes can remain so is just disgusting.

Mainstream media, stop giving these people such credence in their rhetoric. There are two sides to every issue, but both are not equal and equally validate. Ours has science, logic and a clear world vision on our side. Theirs has narrow minded jingoism and greed. Call the spade a spade finally.

No such hope. . .because the ones that control the Tea bagger astro-turf movement also control the media. And 2014 shouldn't be close. . .but it will be.

It doesn't get any more elitist. Mayor for Life and selective law enforcer King Michael “New Yorkers need me so I will run for an illegal third term” Bloomberg is against street crime. Unfortunately, his “stop and frisk” policies have been shot down by an appeals court, leading to righteous indignation, whining, crying and the histrionic theatrics of spoiled six year old child that screams because mommy didn't buy them the chocolate bar they wanted.

Anyway, not do be outdone, Billionaire Michael has decided to jump on the Rick Scott of Florida bandwagon and advocate a “fuck the poor” policy dealing with public housing. However, instead of drug testing, this clown demands unconstitutional criminal background checks in the form of fingerprinting.

"Just like stop-and-frisk, this is another direct act of treating minorities like criminals," Thompson said.

Yes, it is. Because poor minorities are all criminals. Don't you know that, Bill Thompson. If you don't know that, then the terrorists win.

BTW, there is a street in Manhattan that is home to some of the biggest criminal vermin in the world. They are amoral, have no ethics, have no soul and probably do nasty naughty things with people that are not their spouse (I'm sure some escort service will attest to that the next time one gets busted).

Former Marine Eric Alva. . .this person is in your city. Makes it hurt each time you look down and see the leg you lost fighting for a system that makes second and third class citizens, right? You lost a leg so this woman can advocate hatred.

Oh, pandering to the First Amendment crowd that the big bad people are trampling your free speech. No, witch. . .no one is doing that! See, if you ever read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (if you know how to read. . .not saying you're illiterate. . .and if you and your tea baggers haven't banned the books or defunded libraries) you will see that “Congress shall pass no law abridging. . .freedom of speech. It says nothing about private citizens not happy with your racist bullshit that may call for your resignation (don't worry, you're a Republican. You won't resign worth nothing), other politicians offended by your blatant ignorance and anyone with a semi-functional brain rejecting your neanderthal attitudes. Not saying this should happen, but if you transplant “Chinese” with “gay,” I wonder if Chen Xiao Jie (Miss Chen in Mandarin) would sing the same tune.

It doesn't get any mind-blowingly ignorant. Sometimes even deep blue States like New York and Maine elect conservative idiots (Peter King and Paul LePage respectively. More on LePage in a moment).

Let's go west to California, land of good people like Governor Jerry Brown and douchebags like Darrell Issa. Anyway, today's California fruitcake is Tim Donnelly, state Representative from CA State District 33 (which encompasses the High Desert area of San Bernardino County).

Anyway, Timmyis all angry about a new law in California that allows transgender people to have the freedom to choose if they want to be in the boy's or girl's locker room. We can't have that kind of equality permeating our schools. That would dampen right wing angst about “certain” people needing to stay at the bottom.

Well, Timmy decided to protest the law by pulling his kids from public school.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A Republican state lawmaker says a new California law allowing transgender students to choose which restroom and locker room they use is part of the reason at least one of his sons will not return to his local public school this fall.

Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, who lives in the Southern California mountain community of Twin Peaks, described his family's decision in a column published on WND, a conservative website.


He posted on World Nut Daily. Wow! I am not surprised.

But I can understand him. . .I mean he doesn't like the law. He doesn't want his children influenced by LGBT students. . .they might “turn” them “gay.” Or worse. . .his daughter may grow a penis and his son may grow a vagina! OH HORRORS of being in a locker room with a transgender person.

Some of those parents have told him they also plan to remove their students from public school, although he said the parents he has spoken with have declined to speak publicly about their decision.

Well duh. . .most homophobes, racists and bigots don't publicly announce their ignorance. It's the same reason people who beat their spouses (husbands and wives) and their children (mothers and fathers) only do it in the house. Because THEY KNOW IT'S WRONG!!!

What I don't get is why doesn't he protest a law he doesn't like in a way more suitable for his past? Like protesting the law against bringing concealed weapons onto an airplane. But he's a Republican, so he can just say it was a mistake. Like I always mistakenly bringing handguns places that I don't know I have on my possession. I wonder if that will work for a black kid pulled over by the police for doing 60 in a 55 and the cops find a dimebag on him. Probably not.

Tim Donnelly is an asshole!

It finally doesn't get any dumber. But when we are talking about the Tea-Party and their ignorant, “scorched-Earth” followers and leaders, maybe it can get dumber. Especially when their worldview and knowledge is as small as their IQ.

Valarie Hodges, Republican State Representative from the 44th District of Louisiana, is a good example of this idiotic bowel movement that has so crippled pretty much everything.

Valarie is a good jingostic Christian conservative Republican. She believes in football, motherhood, apple pie, the Flag and that God loves conservatives and the devil made liberals. What she doesn't believe is that the world is made up of people that aren't Christians and that Governor Howdy Doody's. . .I mean Bobby Jindal. . .school voucher program might go help benefit non-Christian schools. Seriously.

I liked the idea of giving parents the option of sending their children to a public school or a Christian school.

Yes. . .let's just fund Christian Schools. Is that all Christians, though? Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Quakers, Seventh Day Adventists, Mennonite, etc. Or are we just talking tea-party approved Christians, like people from the Westboro Baptist Church, the Southern Baptists, Pentecostals and the like? You know, the Christians that would ask “Who Would Jesus Hate?”

So, Valarie wants the school vouchers to go to a Christian School. How about religions that don't believe in Christ? Jews? Hindus, Buddhists. . .even (do I dare to say). . .Islam. What about them?

There are a thousand Muslim schools that have sprung up recently. I do not support using public funds for teaching Islam anywhere here in Louisiana.

So. . .what Valarie just did, in her gross and unfathomable intolerance, just invalidated the 1st amendment prohibition of the establishment of a religion. . .and the 14th amendment that made the Constitution apply to the states in the equal protection clause. Wow! And she didn't even break a sweat doing it.

Which leads to a big question. . .how did Louisiana get a thousand muslim schools? And where are they? I am curious to know. On top of that, what part of her ass did she pull that out of? And since we're done talking about this asshole, I will make a suggestion to Valarie Hodges: Since you are pulling things out of your ass, can you next attempt to pull your head from your ass and clean out the shit you have for brains?

Top Ten Conservative idiots of the week

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Boobs Up In Arms Edition[/font]

It's Friday in China, so it's time to release this week's list.

This week, there has a been a bumper crop of asshat and morons. It's been a fun week cataloging conservative idiocy. And they never let us down. The only thing that changes is they get more stupid and brazen as they slowly die off. To start of with, the GOP Circular Firing Squad (1) is in full effect, Paul LePage (4) wants to blow something up, Mike Huckabee (6) puts away his frock and pulls out his white sheets, Steve King (8) has a rally with a turnout that could rival outhouse occupancy and Pat McCrory (9) revokes a constitutional amendment as quietly as he can. And as always, don't forget the key.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]GOP Circular Firing Squad[/font]


The wackjobs that run the Republican wing of the Congress have gotten, shall we say. . .a bit weird in the arguments. The have voted 40 times to kill “Obamacare” and 40 times it failed. They tried to kill it with talk of “socialism” and “death panels,” but that also failed. Now they are talking about defunding it and will hold the government and the country's viability, hostage to do it. Apparently they forgot when a piece of crap named Newt Gingrich shutdown the government because he sat in the back of Air Force One.

Well, that was 1995 and this is 2013. Another Democrat in White House, more Republicans in control of the House and it's time to threaten a shutdown again. But, this time it's coming from both Chambers.

Let's start with Ted “Carnival” Cruz, who mocked his fellow GOP Congresscritters in Iowa.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Contrasting the crowd’s response to his GOP colleagues’, he quipped: “If I were sitting in the Senate cloakroom, the reaction to that statement would be fundamentally different. I don’t know that I’m quick enough to dodge all the things that would be thrown at me.”
Other Republican senators have warned against this strategy as a dangerous gambit that could backfire.
“I can’t count the number of Republicans in Washington who say, ‘Look, we can’t defund it. No, no, no. We can pass symbolic votes against it but we can’t actually stand up and take a risk and be potentially be blamed,’” Cruz said.

There's the first shot. Cruz has unloaded on the GOP to grow some balls and shut that Uppity black, Kenyan-born, socialist/communist/fascist “Mooslim.” Surely the GOP, following the Reagan idea that Republicans should not attack Republicans will prevail. Cue the GOP Establishment in failed presidential robot Mitt “47% and I love firing people” Romney.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The GOP establishment is undoubtedly against a shutdown and many of them are becoming more vocal about it.

"The people of the nation would not be happy," said 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney this week at a New Hampshire fundraiser about the possibility of a shutdown where Medicare benefits were skipped and troops didn't get paid.
Even Charles Krauthammer amd Senate uber-loon Tom Coburn (R-Mars) think Cruz and his “temper tantrum” are bad for the GOP, but not bad for the country. Fuck the country).

In fact, the entire GOP is eating themselves. Look at this chart from Rachel Maddow's MSNBC blog:


Remember this comment from Senator Richard Burr (R-Moon):

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"I think it's the dumbest idea I've ever heard of," Burr said. "Listen, as long as Barack Obama is president, the Affordable Care Act is going to be law."

Apparently, people like Cruz, Paul and Rubio (and the rest of the teabaggers in Congress) think Burr, Coburn and McCain are RINO liberals, because they are trying to enlist small-time ne'er-do-well (I mean House Speaker) John “of Orange Crush” Boehner.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]While House Speaker John Boehner isn't overtly ruling out picking a fight with President Barack Obama over a spending bill, he is laying out an alternative strategy to avoid a government shutdown.

During a closed door meeting on Wednesday with House Republicans, Boehner tried to "gently hold members' hands and walk them away from this," said one GOP source who was in the room.

The debate is about whether Republicans should attach a measure to defund Obamacare to a must-pass spending bill. The government runs out of money on September 30, the end of the fiscal year.

Holding their hands isn't going to help them. Maybe it will. Pick the fight, Ohio Tearduct. You can lead your lemmings off the cliff! Maybe we on the other side can litter the ground with candy in order to get you to jump!

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Georgia Republicans[/font]


Last week, the Top Ten mentioned Arizona Republicans (#10 on the list) doing their racist, stupid best to prove they were the dumbest mouth breathers in the United States. Not to be outdone, Georgia Republicans decided to step up to the plate and knock the stupid in the cheap seats.

Georgia Republicans were polled to see which they believed: Creation “science” or Evolutionary SCIENCE. Guess which one they believe in more, 70% - 30%.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A new Public Policy Polling (PPP) poll finds that a majority of Georgians believe in creationism over evolution.

Entitled "Georgia Miscellany," the Thursday item surveyed a pool of 520 voters on 32 questions. On the issue of creationism vs. evolution, 53 percent believe more in the former, compared to 29 percent choosing the latter, and 18 percent voting not sure.

When that question was transferred over to party lines, Republicans had a staggering split -- 70 percent for creationism, 17 percent for evolution and 13 percent not sure. Democrats split along closer lines -- 43 percent for creationism, 33 percent for evolution and 24 percent not sure. Independents held an even narrower divide -- 46 percent for creationism, 40 percent for evolution and 14 percent not sure.

I don't know what's sadder. A) That 70% of Republicans think evolution is bunk; B) that 46% of “Independents” think evolutionary is bunk; or C) that only a low 40% plurality of Democrats think evolution is not bunk.

Actually, that was to be expected. Bible Humpers love make believe stories with no evidence. Let's take a look at a simple question that was asked in another poll of Georgia Repubicans:

Who do you like more, Georgia GOP? Martin Luther King, Jr. . .or racist bomb thrower Paula Deen? Remember, folks, be logical.

Okay, let's see how they polled:
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]According to a new poll by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, Republicans in Georgia have a more favorable opinion of Paula Deen than they do of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Favorability ratings with Georgia Republicans: Paula Deen 73/11, Martin Luther King Jr. 59/28
(speechless)

This leads to the poll question: If you don't boycott Georgia after the GOP that run the state proved they are racists and clueless, what is the best thing out of the Georgia?

I vote for I-95.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Gundamentalists[/font]


Okay, personally, I have no patience for gundamentalists. I have about the same respect for Badge Sniffers than I do Gundamentalists. There are good gun owners that don't do stupid shit (I am one of them). But, then there's the fucking NRA and gun-nut huggers that piss off everything with their gall, hubris, bullshit and just plan evil shit.

Apparently, the NRA has its knickers in a twist because people want to limit or restrict the lead in bullets because it is harmful animals that may swallow things that may have casing or shell residue on it. Never mind that, the NRA sees this as a gun grabbing threat by hippie gun control wonks in their hemp shirts and drugged out Phish music

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]You might think the NRA would be busy enough fighting its current battles, fending off crazy ideas like expanded background checks for gun sales. But no. The group is now picking a whole new fight, this one against activists who want to ban lead bullets.

Studies have shown that as many as 20 million birds, including endangered California condors, die each year from lead poisoning after ingesting bullet fragments. Ammunition is likely the greatest unregulated source of lead released into the environment, according to a statement (PDF) from scientific experts in lead and environmental health. Some states, notably California, are now weighing regulations to outlaw the use of lead in bullets.

The NRA isn’t going to stand by and let that happen. The group has launched a campaign called Hunt for Truth to fight back against “the assault on traditional lead ammunition” by targeting the groups and individuals — mostly scientists, nonprofits, and government agencies — behind this unconscionable attack on American values.

Screw birds. They made their choice to eat lead. . .they deserve to die. After all, they need to pull themselves up by their boot straps and let us NRA types shoot and poison them. Remember, if you want to wipe your ass, do it with a giant condor.

However, getting panties in a wad over proposing banning bullets made of poison isn't the evil part. We'll leave that to a gun nut group in New England.

Gun control groups have vehemently criticized the event as "reprehensible."

NBC affiliate WVIT reported that gun rights advocates are using Facebook to rally supporters to head to Starbucks stores across the nation Friday to celebrate the coffee chain's open policy on carrying weapons. The company doesn't prohibit customers from openly carrying guns in states where it is legal. The "Starbucks appreciation day" Facebook page says they want to thank Starbucks for standing up for the right to bear arms.

One post by a Ridgefield, Conn., resident on the "CT Open Carry" page caught some attention. The resident said he and some members from the Connecticut Citizens Defense League were going to meet Friday evening at the Starbucks at 34 Church Hill Road in Newtown, the town where 26 people were killed in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School last year. (The Hartford Courant has a screengrab of the post, which appears to have been taken down.)

“Reprehensible?” That doesn't even describe the feeling. Words fail me here. Maybe when you respond to this Top Ten list, you can think of an adjective to say.

Plurality governor Paul LePage is a piece of work. Maine people who voted for this jackass must be real proud. . .all 38% of them (both in his GOP primary and the general election).

He has made some really stupid statements. Click on the hyperlinks to see LePage's views on:
Vasoline
following Maine State Law about offices
the Gestapo
State of Maine workers (maybe he means LEOs and firefighters too)
art and paintings
black people
women

Quite a large mouth this troglodyte has. Amazing his brain generates enough juice to keep his legs moving. So, let's add to his whimsical list of stirring oratory. On August 9th, while using a flight simulator, LePage came out and said this doozie.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]LePage made the remark while participating in a fighter jet simulation at Pratt & Whitney, a defense contractor in North Berwick. When asked by a simulator what he'd like to do, LePage said, "I want to find the Press Herald building and blow it up," according to video posted by the Bangor Daily News.

Ummm. . .what? What!?! You want to blow up a newspaper headquarters? How Stalinist of you, Paulie. Are the reporters in the building at the time? Are the reporters being tortured. . .oops, being accustomed to enhanced interrogation techniques?

Don't worry, though. According to one of his spokes-flunkies, Adrienne Bennett, LePage was “clearly joking and was responding to a question from the simulator who asked the governor if he'd like to blow up anything “ Well, that's all good. It's a joke. If someone in Maine made that joke against LePage's house, the police would be told immediately.

I can't wait for LePage's next joke. I'm sure it it will be a side slapper. Or a gut buster. Hopefully, it will be funny. Because, based on his track record, the only thing funny about Paul LePage is the fact he thinks he has a mandate with 38% of voters supporting him in 2010. Way to go, Governor Plurality.

So, remember this nightmare? 4.9 million barrels of oil covering miles of Gulf water over nearly five months?

Remember the damage? No? Here's a few pictures:



This is a sperm whale carcass.

Depressed? I am. Completely. This is a downer in the Top Ten. Greed knows no bounds. Even BP's half-assed efforts to stop the leak were as pathetic as their tone deaf attitude towards people affected.

Well, it's been almost three years. And BP CEO Robert Dudley believes that the real victim of all of this is BP, for having to pay people for the losses their bullshit incurred. Well, you deadbeats. . .the gravy train is over, grifters!!!

[…]

Quite frankly, the results have been really strange. The claims going through a claims facility have resulted in absurd results, and millions of dollars are going out to pay people who suffered, in many cases, no losses from the spill. And this is just not right. I don’t think it’s right for America. We’re a big investor in the United States, and we’ve challenged this really strongly. It’s just not right.
Millions of dollars. This from a company with a $12 billion dollar profit in 2012. With $300 million in tax breaks. Now that is fucking gall.

That will not prevent BP from fighting claims with its new hotline that pays watchdogs to report fraud.

Wow! Good job, federal judge. However, BP isn't resting. They will now claim fraud and have actually set up a hotline to “combat fraud. Because everyone knows oil belongs on the beaches people use to swim and in the fish people eat out of the ocean.

The company recently set up a a hotline for reporting fraudulent claims relating the the Gulf oil spill, a tool it calls “a reliable resource for people who want to do the right thing and report fraud or corruption.” According to BP, callers can receive a reward if the claim they report leads to an indictment, recovery of money or denial of a claim. BP also placed full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post last month that accused lawyers and politicians of encouraging businesses to submit dishonest claims.

“Whatever you think about BP, we can all agree that it’s wrong for anyone to take money they don’t deserve,” the ads read. “And it’s unfair to everyone in the Gulf — commercial fishermen, restaurant and hotel owners, and all the other hard-working people who’ve filed legitimate claims for real losses.”

Wow! Real losses. Don't worry, according the same article, people in Alaska are still waiting for the Valdez money to come in. that was 24 years ago. So, you moochers on the Gulf Coast. . .prepare to never see money owed to you.

To end this one comes just the most tone-deaf thing anyone can say.

This negative perception might have something to do with receiving billion-dollar subsidies for a highly profitable industry that charges high gas prices. BP claims it pays too much in taxes, despite receiving an annual $300 million in estimated tax breaks on top of a $12 billion profit last year.

Can't figure out why Big Oil is as despised as Banksters, Speculators and anyone else that tries to suck blood from a stone. There isn't a prison big enough for people like Robert Dudley. I hope his money loves him, because no one else does (probably not even his mother).

From what people say, Huckabee is a cordial, friendly man. He is very approachable and down to Earth in his approach. Maybe he got that when he became an ordained minister during the 1980s. Being a man of the cloth should give you a soul and a conscience.

However, sometimes the good Pastor's words tend to show him as the callous douche he really is. He does have a soul (black one), but apparently those scary, “uncorked animal” Mooslims don't have a soul or even belief in the One True God.

“I mean, for most of us, the holiest days that come in the Christian world, particularly Christmas and Easter, I don’t really recall that the government has to issue a warning and say ‘Look Out! It’s Easter! Those Christians are coming. They’ll be throwing eggs all over town.’

Sometimes the jokes write themselves. Meet Blake Farenthood (R-Nuthouse) from Texas. Blake is a fun guy. He likes to say what's on his mind. When he was at a meeting with the people who elected him, Farenthood asked himself a question.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]FARENTHOOD: “A question I get a lot — ‘If everybody’s so unhappy with what the president’s doing, why don’t you impeach him?’” Farenthold said.

“I’ll give you a real frank answer about that. If we were to impeach the president tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it, but it would go to the Senate and he wouldn’t be convicted.”

Amazing that Republicans have the votes to impeach a president for whatever high crime and misdemeanor their little pea-brains can come up with. Maybe Obama's high crime and misdemeanor is “Being President While Black and Democratic.” Who knows?

So, they want to impeach the president and have the votes to do it. What happened back in 1998 when the Republicans were impeaching Clinton for getting a hummer? They lost seats in the House (five actually) and barely held their six seat majority in the Senate (which for a midterm election is soul-wrenching, because the President's party usually does bad in the midterms).

But one thing I don't think the Republicans want is losing seats. Their party is pretty much broken and getting older. But, if Farenthood wants to impeach, good for him.

Maybe when he's done masturbating his impeachment fantasy, he and the Republicans can get to work on important things that affect the country. Things like:

Jobs Bills
Debt Ceiling
Infrastructure maintaining
Education spending
Farm bill that actually helps farmers
Removing the FICA cap

Nah, they'll just vote to end Obamacare a 41st time, since that's Americans really want them to do.

It seeks to stop North Carolina from enacting these provisions, arguing that they would unduly burden the right to vote and discriminate against African-American voters, in violation of the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

I expect the law to be overturned, but you never know with judges. They can be bought just like Congresscritters. . .so, it's a crap shoot. I also expect an injunction soon too.

Anyway, meet Hannah Gastonguay and her family. Just your average, bible thumping, jingoistic, bigoted and completely homophobic Jesus loving family. They are angry at that mean ol' black man in the White House for supportin' abortion and homosexuals gettin' hitched.

Weeks into their journey, the Gastonguays hit a series of storms that damaged their small boat, leaving them adrift for weeks, unable to make progress. They were eventually picked up by a Venezuelan fishing vessel, transferred to a Japanese cargo ship and taken to Chile.

That's sad. I believe they just ran into bad luck, storms, lack of navigation skills, brains and logical, rational thought. Being religious fundies tends to limit the latter two of that list. Let's see why these good Americans wanted to ditch the Good Ol' U.S. Of A.

Among other differences, she said they had a problem with being "forced to pay these taxes that pay for abortions we don't agree with." While federal law bars public funding for abortion, state attempts to block Medicaid funding for organizations that provide the procedure have met with legal hurdles. Opponents say that funding allows those groups to perform abortions.

Wow, what a list. The stupid burns. Addicting Info has a nice rebuttal for Hannah's turds of wisdom. To sum it up, Henry Hyde's worthless amendment ended federal funding for abortions, churches are still tax exempt and the US Government believes ALL Americans have unalienable rights, not just straight Americans that perform only “man on top, get-it-over-with-quick” straight sex.

What lesson did Hannah learn from this? What will carry her forward as she was returned to the US (more than likely on the taxpayer's dime)?

Maybe they will build a rocket ship out of cardboard and ceiling wax, then blast off to a new place populated of backwards thinking neanderthals that believe gays need to be discriminated against, women need to be controlled and where religion dictates all law.

I hear Iran is pleasant. . .so is the northern part of Mali, where Timbuktu is (which is now controlled by crazy Islamic militants that are destroying the place), or Northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has taken control of many parts. Nah, too many Mooslims.

Just remember, Gastonguays, if all else fails, there's always Texas. I hear Rick Perry wants to secede from the Planet Earth. Maybe you and your rocket ships made of spit and bailing wire can help him leave. Just suggestin', ya' know?

Top Ten Conservative idiots of the week (a day early)

I will be traveling all day tomorrow to get back home to Suzhou (my honeymoon was amazing. My Chinese wife is very support of me spending her time showering to write this article), so I am moving up this week's Top Ten (normally out on Saturday my time in Asia) one day (to Friday my time in Asia).

We all know how much those fun, wacky Republicans love the Constitution. Some carry a copy of it with them like a political prop. Well, this week on the Top 10, we're going to examine ten different Republicans. . .some are defending the constitution, others are just defending their own addiction to power. Rand Paul (2) loves racists, Senate and House Republicans show how much they love America and hate Americans(3, 4) and the Republican Circular Firing Squad is in full swing a full 14 months before election day (5, 7) And as always, don't forget the key.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]On Wednesday, during a meeting of the Gilberton Borough Council to consider disciplinary actions against Kessler, his supporters answered his call. While a State Police helicopter circle overhead, more than 100 people gathered outside the borough hall, many of them armed. CSF members patrolled the area with AR-15 assault rifles, telling one reporter they were there to provide "security." As John Luciew described it, "When it came time to open the small borough building for the public meeting, these armed men blocked the doors and prevented people from going inside."

They also angrily confronted Michael Morrill of Keystone Progress, who delivered petition signatures from 20,000 Americans who want Kessler fired. In an email Morrill told me, "I have been organizing for four decades. I have faced Klansmen in Kentucky, Ustase in Bosnia and police indiscriminately beating demonstrators in Italy. [Wednesday] night in Gilberton was more frightening than any of those situations."

Private citizens are now threatening people exercising their first amendment right to redress grievances? Surely this couldn't happen because the police chief, Mark Kessler would arrest these people. Right?

I will sacrifice all I have defending my country, our constitution, OUR FREEDOMS
 
NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE RULED BY TYRANTS, DICTATORS,  OR SCUM POLATICIANS

I copied it word for word. No mistakes. Go check it out if you enjoy bleeding from the eyes and your brains leaking out of your head with spelling and grammar that would make George W. Bush look like a Rhodes scholar.

Back to the subject at hand: Tyrants, Dictators or scum POLITICIANS (asshole, get a fucking dictionary if you can't spell correctly. You even got the word “just” wrong) are who you are standing up to? From the sounds of the citizens in your little town, you are describing yourself. Maybe when you ask for donations, you should buy a mirror and look at the real tyrant, dictator and scum police officer looking back at you.

But Kessler believes he is right and good. Sadly for him, the residents have started a petition asking for the Feds to come in and protect them from their local legalized extrajudicial goon squad known as:

“Whereas, the Chief of Police of Gilberton, Pennsylvania have usurped the government of the Town of Gilberton through the use of arms and armed intimidation and Whereas, he has recruited armed vigilantes to block access to town meetings and further has threatened and intimidated town citizens who might speak out in opposition against him and Whereas he has posted videos threatening the life of Secretary of State John Kerry and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi; we the people of the United States call on the President of the United States, Barack H. Obama to order the federalizing of the Pennsylvania National Guard to go to Gilberton to disarm the Chief and his gang and restore law and order to the Town of Gilberton,” the petition reads in full.

Why do they need this? Well, that's simple too.

In all, around 100 members of the CSF — outfitted with AR-15 assault rifles — are said to have descended on the scene last Wednesday. Inside the borough hall, the handful of residents lucky enough to bypass Kessler’s security detail spoke of the chief’s intimidation tactics — and a petition signed by 20,000 people demanding Kessler’s termination was delivered to the council.

"He's a nut. I do not feel safe with him around at all," resident Wade Greg Necker said, according to the Huffington Post. Another attendee, Gregory Grove, said of his wife: "She's afraid of him. Kessler is a detriment to this borough."

Sounds like a warzone? Thank God we have that second amendment. It keeps that pesky first amendment from being used by people who don't support destroying the first amendment in order to keep the second amendment logical in their warped view of what a “well regulated militia” is.

During public appearances, Hunter often wore a mask on which was printed a Confederate flag.

Prior to his radio career, while in his 20s, Hunter was a chairman in the League of the South, which “advocates the secession and subsequent independence of the Southern States from this forced union and the formation of a Southern republic.”

Manufacturing, mining, production and agriculture were all held to be beyond federal regulation. This theory was the basis for several decisions striking down basic labor protections, including a 1918 decision declaring a child labor law unconstitutional.

Had Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) been able to pass the bill, it would have marked the 13th time that Republicans have voted to block federal funding for ACORN since the GOP took over the lower chamber in 2011.

First, let's start with the word “if.” There have only been 15 bills passed that have been signed into law in this Congress. “If” the bill was passed. . .The Ohio Tearduct keeps telling us to judge him by how many laws they repeal.

Hing has repeatedly told HuffPost that the defunding of ACORN is a "standard provision" that goes into most appropriations bills.

Oh, it's a standard provision. Defunding a group conservatives hated since it inception. I guess then the liberals can do that too.

Usually Fox News is a safe haven for Conservative bunko-artists. It is a jingoistic, right wing propaganda machine that burps out bullshit in bite sized tidbit their uneducated viewing rubes can easily understand. Bumper sticker logic, I call it. “All political debates should be summed in a sound byte or enough worse to fit on a bumper sticker.”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor went on Chris Wallace's idiot show and proceeded to spout off the typical mantra that Republicans do: “We work for bipartisanship. . .it's that black guy's fault nothing gets done. . .if that black guy would just sit at the table with us and agree with everything we want, life would be skittles and butterflies. . .” Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Wallace then dropped a reality bomb on Majority Leader Cantor, “But Congressman, rightly or wrongly, none of these bills that you passed is going to become law. Your own members say they’re not going to pass the Senate. The president won’t sign them. Let’s talk reality. You haven’t passed a Farm Bill. You’ve only passed 4 of the 12 appropriations bills you’re supposed to pass. We face a government shutdown and debt limit in the fall. Again, is the best way to spend your time passing bills that aren’t going to become law? An added question, with so much unfinished business why not stick around instead of taking a five week vacation. Rep. Cantor blamed Obama for being out giving campaign speeches, and not cooperating with the House.

You could pass a Farm Bill. You could take. You have the power of the purse. Only 4 of the 12 appropriations bills have you even passed. Why not do what the House is supposed to do?” Cantor claimed they passed a Farm Bill, and tried to turn their complete failure to pass a comprehensive Farm Bill into Republican reform. Cantor blamed the Senate for lack of passage of appropriations bills, and said the House has passed more than the Senate.

See, we passed more bills then those useless Senators, even though the Senate said they were DOA and Obama immediately threatened veto. That's how bipartisanship works for the modern GOP.

This a network that is still hyping the debunked IRS and Benghazi scandals, but yet, they are telling House Republicans to wake up and get real.

Wallace’s aggressiveness spoke to how unpopular House Republicans are within their own party. Everyone is tired of their decision to waste their time on stunts like votes to repeal Obamacare, and meaningless week long votes on “government waste.” Republicans know that they need to at least give the impression that the House is doing some serious work, but Boehner, Cantor, and developmentally tea disabled House crew refuse to listen.

Expect Roger Alies and Rupert to come down on Chris Wallace. Expect softball questions to the next Republican on his show. “So, do you like blue ties?” “Obama is the devil. . .Agree or really agree?”

My Chemical Romance came out with a song called “Teenagers.” While I am not an MCR fan, I like this song and it is on my gym mix. One line is “but what you have under your shirt will make them pay for the things that they did,” implying the teenager has a gun and is ready to shoot up his school.

We have laws to prevent the sale of weapons to people under 21, specifically handguns. Wayne LaPierre, the “dickless lunatic” that runs the NRA (thanks to George Carlin for that comment) thinks this is a bad idea. We need more guns, and more guns in the hands of minors.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The National Rifle Association is asking the Supreme Court to strike down decades-old regulations prohibiting the sales of handguns to those under the age of 21.

The powerful gun lobby is challenging a lower federal court’s October ruling that upheld the ban. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the current regulations are consistent with a long-held view that young adults between the ages of 18 and 20 “tend to be relatively immature and that denying them easy access to handguns would deter violent crime.”

That sounds logical. What was the basis of the lower court's decision?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“As with felons and the mentally ill, categorically restricting the presumptive Second Amendment rights of 18-to-20-year-olds does not violate the central concern of the Second Amendment,” the court found.

The court noted it is legal for adults under the age of 21 to buy other types of guns, including rifles and shotguns. Further, parents or guardians can give their 18 to 20-year-olds handguns as a gift, and there are no laws barring either the possession or use of a handgun by adults younger than 21.

Again, sounds logical and fair. Young people should not be allowed to by handguns, which is the weapon of choice of gangbangers, school shooters and would be assassins. LaPierre now has his knickers in a twist. Look at this tortured logic.

They can buy uzis, assault rifles, hunting rifles, shotguns and sniper rifles. But because they can't buy handguns, the Constitution is about to be lost. Mark Kessler would be so happy to hear this, Wayne. Maybe you can find him and give him a big kiss as you and he fantasize whose gun is bigger while believing each's other “weapon” is smaller.

However, with their new marching orders, a few GOP State Party chiefs sprung into action:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A.J. Spiker, head of the Iowa GOP, said the state party would also refuse to partner with CNN and NBC for the Iowa primary debate, considered to be one of the more significant of the season, if the networks go forward with their Clinton programming. Nevada also joined Iowa, among other state party organizations, in signing on to the ultimatum from the national party.

Don't worry, A.J. Your voter base only watches Fox News. That's all you need to partner with. Just make sure the candidate follow the tea party line or else they will be crucified. Actually, forget the bananas and popcorn. . .I think watching this Republican infighting and petty partisanship need a huge amount of weed. That way, I can eat even more bananas and scarf down more popcorn, laughing all the way to the 7/11 for more munchies!

Stansberry & Associates, a right wing investment firm, makes the list simply because they are grifters that milked the tea party hard! So much so that they have sold out the tea party to make a fast buck, similar to Glenn Beck, that uses their stupidity to enhance his bottom line. However:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
In 2007, Stansberry and his firm -- then called Pirate Investor LLC -- were ordered by a district court to pay $1.5 million in restitution and civil penalties as a result of a Securities and Exchange Commission complaint. As reported by the Baltimore Sun, Stansberry was accused of "disseminating false stock information and defrauding public investors through a financial newsletter ... They claimed investors could double their money if they paid $1,000 for a stock tip involving Bethesda energy company USEC Inc. In total, 1,217 people purchased the report, although 215 of them got their money back after complaining."

Wow! Bernie Madoff would be proud. The sad thing is, right wing media still uses them, even though they are frauds.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Despite Stansberry & Associates' history of fraud, shady practices, and transparently ludicrous investment pitches, conservative outlets like Fox Business, WND, and Glenn Beck have welcomed the firm as financial experts in recent months. For instance:

Stansberry is a columnist for WND. Since January, WND has published 10 of Stansberry's financial advice columns. WND describes Stansberry as a "well-known investment adviser" who exclusively offers WND readers his insights. WND publisher Joseph Farah has emailed readers on behalf of Stansberry claiming the firm has found "a rarely publicized loophole in the consumer banking system" to "accumulate some silver anonymously."

Fox Business' Markets Now hosted Stansberry & Associates analyst David Eifrig on May 1, 2013, to discuss the bond market. Fox Business made no mention of the firm's shady past. To the contrary, anchor Dennis Kneale suggested at the conclusion of the segment that Eifrig's Stansberry newsletter, Retirement Millionaire, has been a winner for investors. Retirement Millionaire claims to show its subscribers "secrets" such as "How to help prevent cancer with two foods" and "How to receive a free wine vacation."

Porter Stansberry appeared on the May 2 edition of Glenn Beck's radio program "to talk about gold and the reasons for holding it." Beck held up Stansberry as a financial expert during the interview, and promoted his website. He also thanked Stansberry "for your sponsorship" of the program. A note on GlennBeck.com states that "Glenn's radio and TV broadcast from the NRA is brought to you by PrimeGuard Personal Defense, Target Focus Training, and Stansberry and Associates Investment Research."

Conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones has hosted Stansberry throughout the years on his program. Stansberry appeared on the November 15, 2012, edition of Jones' program to promote his website and claim that Obama is seeking a third term. Jones enthusiastically praised Stansberry and his ideas during the interview. Jones also appeared on Stansberry's own radio program in January for "a friendly, spirited discussion about the current political environment of the United States, gun control laws and what each calls the socialist agenda of the United States government." Jones' website Infowars.com has reposted financial articles, by Stansberry, accompanied by "Sponsored" links to his company's website.

They are frauds, but still get used. Like right wing media. Frauds, but still get legitimacy. I guess fools and their money are soon parted. Tea baggers, how does is feel to be swindled? Don't answer that. . .I know you'll just go all birther, truther, talking to empty chairs on me. Because I know when you listen to this line of crap:

You will believe it, especially if Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck say it. . .but Hannity and Limbaugh not for long. They are getting bounced off the air in major markets.

"Bye Bye Black Sheep," the protestors shouted at one point, a reference to the president's skin color, according to the Arizona Republic.

Another protestor carried a sign that said "Impeach the Half-White Muslim!"

“He’s 47 percent Negro,” one protestor shouted.

I am sighing writing this one. Again, my state shows itself to be the home of complete fucktards. Most of us refer to Maricopa County as the “Evil Empire.” Between the Phoenix 40, the Arizona Government that passed the “Papers Please” law and that sick, racist psycho Joe Arpaio. . .my state is quickly become a fuckwit's paradise.

President Obama went to Phoenix for a speech. Protesters arrived, held signs, chanted racist chants, but apparently left their klanhoods at home.

Let's look at the boobs that vote for the boobs that make laws:

She believes Obama supporters use the "race card" against her because they disagree with her political message.

"Obama is ruining American values. He is ruining the Constitution. He needs to go back to where he came from because obviously, he is a liar," she said. "I am not racist. I am part Indian. Obama's half black, half white."

"We have gone back so many years," she said. "He's divided all the races. I hate him for that."

And the Republicans want to bring back Gilded Age America by bring back Jim Crow laws, poll taxes in the way of ID cards and rolling back all labor protections. The Republicans have divided themselves into racists, homophobes, misogynist and bible thumping xenophobes. Don't worry. According to Rand Paul, nothing about anything done by Republicans is racist. Only their words, actions, affiliations and sentiments.

One more Obama protestor's turd of wisdom:

Top Ten Conservative idiots of the week.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Honeymoon Edition[/font]

I am sitting in Don Mueang Airport in Thailand waiting for the next part of my trip to Phuket. While my significant other scarfs down Pad Thai and I eat fried rice, I decided to kill the layover and do the Top 10, since there is so much dumbfuckery this week. Steve King (1) leads the pack, the McDonnell family (3) is really close, Rush Limbaugh is losing ground (5), as well as distributors, the GOP is shooting themselves with automatic weapons (6, 7) and Christopher Doyle (10) proves how small his intellect and follower base is. And as always, don't forget the key.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Steve King[/font]


Michele Bachmann is leaving office amid a huge ethics cloud, so we on this side of the spectrum feel a little sadness in our hearts that Congress's Most Batshit Crazy critter has left the public arena. No worries, though. . .there are plenty of people to take that lunatic's place: Louie Gohmert, Darrell Issa, Peter King, James Sensenbrenner, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, or today's front-runner for the title, Steve King of Iowa.

In a recent interview for Newsmax, King was asked about the DREAM Act and the DREAMers. A logical answer would be “If they offer something tangible to the advancement of the American way of life and economy, they should be fast tracked to citizenship, regardless of immigration quotas or out-dated immigration laws that need to be changed.” No. . .I'll let Steve King's words |speak for themselves:

Wait. What? Could you repeat that? Mexicans are now just drug mules for the cartels. Amazing how Steve King, from the border state of Iowa can say that when most elected people from border-states (Joe Arpaio and Louie Gohmert are exceptions) have never mentioned that Mexicans are shifty, criminally motivated drug mules for the Pot market. I am from Arizona originally, and while I have issues with McCain, Flake, Brewer, Horne and the rest of the dingus that runs that state, I can rest assured knowing they don't consider Mexicans simply drug mules.

Which just leads to this picture that I stole from the internet that just complete describes Steve King perfectly.


King quickly stated after the interview that “privately,” his GOP co-conspirators agreed fully with him, adding “next we need to ship them ex-slaves back to Africa where they belong.”

Be prepared for a rebranding of the GOP's logo, where the elephant is replaced with “White and Proud” superimposed on a klanhood.

However, some didn't like what King stated. A few DREAMers showed up at King's office (when King was conveniently not available or even around) with cantaloupes to protest. Look at the picture below. Notice anything strange. Two minorities surrounded by white people, while the white police officer has his hand on his holster all set to arrest these “two uppity ethnics” for the well established crime of “ruffling the feathers of the Upper 1% while not being part of the Upper 1%.”



[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Mark Kessler[/font]

To protect and serve. Protect against enemies foreign and domestic. These are the mantra of the police. Except if a Democrat is president. Meet Mark Kessler, police chief of Gilberton in Pennsylvania, a man who loves his guns so much, he goes on youtube and threatens anyone to “take his guns away.

Damn, uppity black man. Let me count how many times Democrats have stated they want to confiscate guns: ZERO!!! Yet the NRA gundamentalists love this shit more than sex, motherhood and apple pie. They think this because there is a movement going to reup the assault weapons ban that AWOL McFuckstick allowed to relapse (sorry, I can't bring myself to type his name). Because every good hunter, like me, knows the best way to go squirrel hunting is with an AR or an AK or another weapons used for combat. After you shoot the squirrel, there might be enough left to make. . .nothing!

Apparently, the city council didn't like what he said on youtube and voted5-1 to suspend him. Be prepared for this right wing nut to run to the ACLU and complain the big bad government is stifling his freedom of speech to threaten gun control advocates, while those killed in gun violence can have their freedom of speech stifled by his, and others (Newtown, Boulder, Littleton, Fort Hood, etc) second amendment right to own a howitzer.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]The McDonnell family[/font]

I remember a long time ago (DUers in Louisiana please help me) that there was a governmental election where David Duke ran against a convicted white collar criminal and the joke around the nation was “The Bigot v. The Crook.” Duke lost.

Florida did the same thing with Rick Scott, who has huge white-collar criminal allegations swirling around him before he was election. Virginia governor and Tea-bag enabler Bob McDonnell decided to forego ethics and everything in order to use the governorship as an ATM for himself and his family, especially his wife Maureen.

On top of that:

That's a lot of money and gifts for someone. Imagine if it were a Democrat. Wait, there are scandals around Democrats. What I find amazing is that, in San Diego, Bob Filner is under sexual harassment charges and Anthony “let me show you my” Weiner sexted people not his wife. . .and people screamed for (and in Weiner's case got) resignations. Yet no one has screamed for Bob McDonnell's immediate resignation. Which just goes to show. Perverts are unacceptable. . .crooks are a-okay. If he get out of prison, maybe Bernie Madoff will run for president. He knows how to milk the system really well.


[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Darrell Issa[/font]

Racism knows it has a home in the Republican party. Every since the Dixiecrats left the Democratic Party (for the better of the Democratic Party, I might add), the GOP has been a haven of racist assholes. Enter Darrell Issa (R-CA). Issa is famous for the Benghazi-asm, IRS-asm and arson, but after Elijah Cummings challenged Issa, Issa reverted to the age old Republican mantra: Condescending racist jargon:

Issa needs a bib. He drools on himself every time he opens his mouth. He needs to realize how much of a stain he is on the Republican Party. However, with his bullshit, I think he might suprise Steve King as the new “Batshit Craziest Congresscritter.” Only time will tell.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Rush Limbaugh[/font]


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm sorry, I need to be mature. Rush Limbaugh is a human being and I shouldn't laugh at his misfort. . .oh, fuck that noise! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! He's getting booted at the end of the year by Cumulus. Apparently he is too toxic for right wing spew machines. He (and his mini me clone Sean Hannity) are getting booted!!!

The Tonnage On Loan from Satan's Ass is still the defacto head of the GOP and is still sending marching orders. In a rare interview with Fox News (surprise, surprise):

Want more turds of wisdom from the asshole. Here you go.

More conservative? They have alienated women, minorities, homosexuals, Muslims, immigrants, the working poor (something he claims does not exist), unemployed and the young. Who else is left to piss off?

I want to finish this entry on a mature note, so I will slam an atheist. Bill Maher, there is a God. He got tired of hearing Limbaugh saying he was on Loan from God. . .so God finally answered all liberals' prayers. Limbaugh is getting booted! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry, can't be mature at all.

Ron Paul is a stopped clock. I agree with him twice a day. His ending the American Empire and ending the Drug War are about the only things he says I agree with. Ron Paul at least has that.

His demon spawn offspring Rand Paul, on the other hand. . .what can I say about this troglodyte that has not been already said. Here is a list of bullshit that can been puked out of his mouth.

However, one thing I can support in Rand Paul is his desire to destroy the Republican Party from within. So, with all the bombs he lobs at people in his party, it shows him to be the sick psycho the Tea Partiers try to hide. This time, Rand decided to attack. . .Hurricane Sandy victims.

So, he targeted New Jersey ballast and human globe impersonator Chris Christie. The same Chris Christie that is supported by the Koch Brothers (that supports the Tea Bag movement), has all but destroyed New Jersey public education and is believed to be thinking of running for president in 2016. Surely the Republican establishment will support one of their own. . .

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]GOP Circular Firing Squad volley #1: The Establishment[/font]


. . .But in an amazing display of eating themselves alive, the Republicans have turned on Rand Paul. Here is Chris Christie, ballast governor of New Jersey:

Ready, Aim. . .FIRE!!! What I find amazing is Steve King can spout racist attitudes and, in private, Republicans agree with him. Rand Paul can attack people that were victims of a hurricane and he gets blowback. So, the new motto of the GOP is: “Victim blaming = bad. Racism = good!” Good luck with that message, guys.

Indiana is as red a state as they come. It is a red spot in a mostly blue and purple area of the country. They elected Mitch Daniels governor, then decided to punish themselves more by electing Mike Pence. Masochism is the Republican hobby.

Indiana was the first state to try to defund and destroy Planned Parenthood for reasons that any invertebrate would find fraudulent. But, apparently, all that is over because they have given up.

So the War on Women is beginning to fail (finally). Tell Rick Perry that, before he restricts a woman's right to get a mammogram, since breast cancer is God's punishment for not being born a man.

The worst Speaker of the House in the history of forever spoke again and everyone either rolled their eyes, yawned or laughed. The background: President Obama is going on the road to tout his jobs plan. Enter “Orange Vodka” Johnny to comment.

Yes, Obama's approval ratings are at 48%. This is not good for a sitting president, but it's still nearly half the country. Let's look at “Orange Crush” now. 18%. Less than one in five think the Ohio Tearduct is doing a bang up job.

His own caucus has all but abandoned him, his majority leader is chomping at the bit to take him down as Speaker, and Congress has passed only 15 bills that were signed into law this year (but he believes we need to judge him on how many laws they repeal, like the forty times they tried, and failed, to destroy and repeal the Affordable Care Act). Someone this irrelevant doesn't deserve time on the Top 10 list, so until Boehner does something worthwhile, I am retiring his name. I don't waste time with small timers anymore. WORST. SPEAKER. EVER.

Christopher Doyle is a man who believes gays can be cured from their malady of being gay. He and MarcusBachmann (there is batshit crazy Michele's batshit crazier hubby) are of the same mold. He planned a massive rally for people who have been cured of being gay; ex-gays as he called them. Let's look at the photos of this massive rally, which he said would be in the thousands.




Fewer than ten showed. EPIC FAIL. No punchline is needed. Just enjoy the fact that there homophobes were shown up for the idiots they are. Puts a smile on my face.

What makes it worst is they have no shame in the fact that no one cares what they say, they still speak in front of microphones like they are talking to thousands. Delusion. Welcome to the Republican Party.


See you next week back home in Suzhou.
