Bauer: Furor over comments won’t change stance – TheState.com

This week in “compassionate conservatism”:

“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed.

“You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that. And so what you’ve got to do is you’ve got to curtail that type of behavior. They don’t know any better.”

That’s South Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer on why he thinks needy people are like stray animals. And yes, he’s running for governor.

Suddenly I understand why the Palmetto State was fine with keeping a hypocrite and scumbag who sleeps around with his wife in office.

The irony here, as with most things Republican, is that Bauer used to be on a reduced school lunch system as a kid.

Greg Palast » Manchurian Candidates:Supreme Court allows China and othersunlimited spending in US elections

Palast is so out there way past progressive that he almost comes around the bend over in Cheney Facsist land, but he’s dead right on this issue.

The Supreme Court just made it damn near certain that rich Chinese companies will be picking our presidents from here on out. Assholes.

Antonin Scalia is a Communist enabler.

Military under fire for biblical gunsights

More related to the company trying to restart the Crusades and putting our soldier’s lives at risk.

The Aussies jumped in and want the scriptures removed, as does the Pentagon. Even the Christian Science Monitor isn’t on the side of these Talibangelical idiots.

The company has since listened and will not longer continue the practice of proselytizing at the barrel of a gun.

Frankly, their response is weak, on many levels. First, they never appreciated that what they are doing is wrong. Second, they are sending out around 100 removal kits…to fix 200,000 units shipped. Nice.

Third – and this tells you the REAL spirit of these so-called Christians – they chose Capitalism over Christ. Seriously, I’d have more respect for the bastards – not much, granted – if they stuck, well, to their guns (or gun sights as it were).

Either way, it is once again instructive to watch how Talibangelicals act as opposed to how they preach.
