Americans’ Role Seen in Uganda Anti-Gay Push – NYTimes.com

They are trying to excuse themselves from it, but the reactionary Talibangelical pricks who keep encouraging Ugandans to fear gay people are suddenly “shocked” that that nation is planning to make homosexuality a death sentence offense. They have only themselves to blame for such hatred.

Why do conservative pseudo-Christians refuse to believe that their twisted faith traffics in fear and hatred of others? Why do they not see the evil they create? It is truly sad and it would be pathetic if not for the violence it visits on innocents.

Rachel Maddow has done a LOT of reporting on this. Some of the key segments follow in reverse chronological order.

News of First Major Progressive Legislation in 30 Years Enrages Liberals – Politics – Gawker

I laughed when I read this.

I mean, seriously, the worst part of being a liberal is the amount of silly sanctimonious bullshit you have to put up with by folks who get wildly offended when the world doesn’t work EXACTLY the way they want.

Conservatives are blowhards and anti-democratic “patriots” ™ but they know when to shut up and suck it up when what they want is at least close to being accomplished. That said, that form of lemming thought is gonna end up with us getting Palin as president so maybe it isn’t all that cool.

You Didn’t Get Mad When…..

Thanks to Marla for this one:

You didn’t get mad…


You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when VP Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy Policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA Operative was revealed.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act was passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded Iraq looking for WMD’S that didn’t exist.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 Billion dollars(and counting) on Iraq War..

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when Bush was illegally wiretapping us at home and work.

You didn’t get mad when Bush borrowed money to give to the oil companies.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible Conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when Bush got 4,500 soldiers killed.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when—- The government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.

Illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, giving your tax dollars to super-rich, are all OK with you?

But helping other Americans is the last straw?

Seven presidents have tried to pass a Health Care Plan of some sort and have failed. None have had the “hate filled” opposition this president has received.

Hmm, Why Has Bachmann Stopped Bashing The Census? | TPMDC

You know, I was hoping this would happen. Sadly, the moron seems to have wised up. Birther Princess Michelle Bachmann has been carping about people not filling out the census so the “evil guvment” (that she works for) can’t find out who is living in America.

First off, I hoped all her followers would be declared illegal aliens and shipped to an abandoned oil platform we can call Wingnuttia. Then I heard that Minnesota might lose a Representative district, namely her’s.

So she’s shut up all about avoiding the census.

Pity.

Sadly the fools CAN be taught. Just not anything that would make them better people.
