Thank God not all of Vegas is infiltrated by Talibangelicals. Give this a read and be sure to down some painkillers before starting in on the comments.
I truly wish that those bigoted hatemongers who supposedly speak for the Almighty would kindly shut the hell up and let actual caring folks speak for their religion.
Not that I’m holding my breath or anything….
I know, I know, but it’s a funny one.
Rethugs would have you believe Obama is planning to “soak the rich”.
They are LYING.
STILL more teabagging links. Sorry.
As I imagined, a lot of the asshats protesting for the rich last week were the same racist Palinite ilk we saw advertising their bigotry last year. Check out some of the images here for more proof.
In California, just for fun, racism had to compete with anti-Semitism.
You know, my father-in-law keeps trying to give Gabriel little plush elephants to turn him Republican. I know he’s a member of that party for economic reasons that haven’t made sense for decades. The ideas aren’t all bad, but the party obviously doesn’t push them. That said, at some point this trying to steer my son towards a racist, bigoted, Talibangelical point of view is eventually going to piss me off. Besides, he’s part Mexican, the GOP doesn’t want him.
On a lighter note, check out The Daily Show’s English correspondent John Oliver confronts some of the whack jobs in his own special way.
Alright, last, last one.
Just in case some teabagger tries to “inform” you on what they could conceivably be standing for, refer to this.
I guarantee you’ll know more about what said fool is protesting against than the fool him- or herself.
This meme was old to begin with, and getting increasingly so. Here is yet another article telling us about how bad people who make a quarter million a year are doing. And now their taxes are being RESTORED to pre-Bush levels. Yes, I can play with words too. Our economy was better before Bush cut their taxes. So it isn’t a raise, or an increase, it is a Restoration.
And yes, everyone can adapt to their income and get into bad spending habits, but I sure as hell aren’t going to pity these folks like I would the millions who lost their jobs in this recession.
And why are people writing these articles? Do they WANT a rash of condo and mansion burnings by outraged regular folks?
This seems pretty interesting to me. While fighting the deniers here at home and in India and China, we could be addressing the climate change issue by getting the poor proper stoves and fuel so that we can reduce a big percentage of our global carbon emissions.
That can’t cost very much to do, but do we have the will to pull it off?
Still some tea left in the cup.
I think this article really addresses the teabagger issue. As usual, Bob Reich makes more sense than the supposedly knowledgeable Krugman.
Here we have someone honestly trying to reach out to the angry mob. Compelling argument for deaf ears I imagine.
Plus, some honesty on the whole bunch of shenanigans from Georgia.
Some grudging respect to Gloria Borger for giving an honest assessment of the childish and unhelpful behavior of the GOP since the election.
As a Republican herself, I’m a bit surprised she actually put her thoughts out like this, but it is a welcome surprise.
Look, after the warmongering, the racism, the hijacking of religion and the general philosophical idiocy of the GOP, I can’t envision ever voting for any member of that party. That said, they do speak for a section of our society and I truly wish they get back to a rational platform that doesn’t involve calling for armed revolution whenever they lose at the polls.
A quick discourse on how religious conservatives twisted their religion to beg for GOP support and lost anyway.
You almost want to feel bad for them except that they’ve created terrorist acts and soured people like me on organized religion. Plus, look at all the lives they’ve taken by chanting for bombing anyone they didn’t agree with.
And THAT, my friends, is why we have separation of Church and State.
