Look who’s palling around with terrorists? I continue to insist that modern day Republicans, particularly their Talibangelical Hate Wing, has more in common with al-Qaeda than with the rest of America.
Justifiable Terrorism?

Changing the rules in the middle of the game
Ever so closer to a health care reform bill. Keep your fingers crosses folks.
Think Progress » Limbaugh vows to flee the country if health care passes.
Man, I sincerely hope Lush Rimjob is being serious about this. He says he’ll move to Costa Rica if heath care reform passes in the US.
Now, I really wouldn’t wish this on Costa Rica, but please pass the bill and get that fat, drug-addicted, boy fracking bastard off our airwaves and out of our country.
Think Progress » After Telling Women, Gays How To Live, Oklahoma GOP Outraged At ‘Government Intervention’ In Divorces
Republicans, particularly the Okie variety, really, really do not like to be told they have to think about what they are doing, but are real keen on telling other people how to live. Especially when it involves taking away someone else’s rights. Here’s more proof of that.

“We came to America for the American dream — to do good and to make good.”
– K.R. Sridhar
We still have some ingenuity running around this country. And some of that we have thanks to immigrants. Here are two of the latter working hard to fix our energy problems.
Maybe if we listen to those who want to be Americans instead of damning them, we can make our nation great again.
Aroldis Chapman hits 100 mph, strikes out three in Reds debut – Big League Stew – MLB Blog – Yahoo! Sports
Cuban pitching sensation Aroldis Chapman finally pitched a couple innings for the Reds and the results look pretty good.
Now hopefully he’ll be given the time to develop his talent and gain some strength before Dusty Baker kills his arm.
Eugene Robinson – ‘Al-Qaeda 7’ smear campaign is an assault on American values – washingtonpost.com
The Cheney crime family cannot be taken seriously whenever they talk about values or defending America. Most of us have known this for years, but conservatives are slowly coming to the same revelation. Here’s the latest damning evidence.
What Makes the Healthiest and Happiest Societies? Hint: It’s Not Wealth | Personal Health | AlterNet
Equality makes the best societies, not the relentless and cutthroat pursuit of wealth.
You know, this is something Christians should automatically know. That is, if they actually read their bibles instead of beating people over the head with them.

So, now we know. Neat story though.
Climate change in our own backyards | Marketplace From American Public Media
I have having a conversation with someone the other day and this story from Marketplace came to mind. Basically, it concerns the destruction of forests in Montana thanks to milder winters there in recent years.
The lack of good solid cold snaps is letting a native beetle species flourish and destroy large tracts of pine trees. Granted, Montana may have two Democratic senators and a governor, but it’s a pretty conservative place. Without being too giddy about it, I’m pretty sure these folks are reaping what they sowed when mocking climate change news. Now it is in their backyards, literally.
Sometimes it takes a harsh lesson to learn truth and put aside politically motivated myth, and this *is* a hard one to learn at that. Hopefully these folks will teach their conservative brethren the fallacy of their rhetoric. I mean, Georgia is turning into a desert and that hasn’t changed any minds.
In short, conservatives need to get on board and help address the threats that affect ALL of us. Too bad that you can look at the majority of the commenters on this story and still see a lot of kool aid drinkers.
Honestly, when our economy fails and the ecology collapses, I won’t have one iota of humanity left for these bastards. I hope they starve outside whatever front door I have while I help protect those who actually realize that our actions have consequences. Let those whose greed destroy our world suffer for their misdeeds.
