Look, you may not want to fight, but you have got to start admitting that these asshats are at war with America. It isn’t enough to have their twisted religious views. They have to endanger lives to make sure that YOU conform to THEIR narrow-minded world view.

We don’t need to fly overseas to fight the Taliban or al-Qaeda. Their bastard brethren are already here.

But, anyway, the “What? We’re Not Politically Driven Assholes” reaction started today. It didn’t go well.

Here’s the thing. Andrea Mitchell has long been married to the cretin who helped conjure our crap global economic system. She *knows* when someone is a liar. And, after having been a breast cancer victim herself, you aren’t going to win points lying to her about your motives when it is related to breast cancer.

A round up of sorts from Alternet. Also, a listing of key recent events from Daily Kos.

Plus, bonus hypocrisy points for somehow excepting Penn State from their new rule. Abortions, no. Diddling little boys in the shower? Oh, that’s FINE with the Komen people.

This is so cynical it is almost painful to watch. Funny, but in a “Damn, people are so f’ed up they HAD to make this video” funny. Which, truthfully, is more sad than funny.

How someone like Santorum can still earn delegates in a major American party in the 21st century is a sad, sad commentary on this nation.

Using religion as an excuse to sanction assassination by elected officials.

Nice.

Here’s the deal, the President is half-black. Get over it.

Hell, he might even get re-elected. And if your party’s goal is solely to make him a one term president, and if your goal is to scare the rest of America into not voting for a minority president again, you’re in trouble. Because even if you achieve your first goal and Obama gets voted out, you had better start worrying about your second goal.

If you demonize the minority, and play the anti-Muslim, anti-black or -brown or -whatever card, you might very well succeed.

And after you have spent years demonizing non-Christians and non-whites, you might wake up and find a country not interested in YOUR religion. You WILL find a country that sees YOU as the minority.

And after your decades of racial and religious intolerance, how will the new majority treat YOU?

Maybe it is time to start thinking a little more long term and learn some humility.

Hypocrisy is a bitch.

The state GOP has lost their senate leader. Turns out she has a problem keeping her marriage vows and was screwing one of her staff members.

Ironically, she is one of those staunch defenders of “traditional marriage” that are trying to alter the Minnesota state constitution to only permit marriages such as hers. No, not unfaithful, loveless, and false, but between a man and a woman only.

So, the gay community did they should in the marketplace of bigoted, right wing sociopaths: they apologized.

You know, because anyone who believes that gays should marry is surely in favor of destroying any other kind of marriage. And certainly Senator Amy Koch would never have allowed herself to make the monster with two backs with anyone other than her wedded husband if it weren’t for those darn gays she hates so much.

Right?

Some background on the women haters writing laws for dim-witted Republicans to pass.

Hurrah angry violent lobbyists!

In case you think I use too much hyperbole when I say stuff like “Republicans hate women”, here is a quick rundown on how I get to those conclusions.

Conservatives have a plan to destroy America. Let’s call it Contract on America 2: The Quickening.

Republicans (still) hate women.

Legislation pending in Georgia would make it a crime to have a miscarriage. Not just any old crime either, a charge potentially punishable by death.

Any family who has had to deal with a miscarriage can attest to how painful it is. To have some Talibangelical bureaucrat play religious police and haul your wife off to prison to be executed? Yeah, that just doesn’t belong in America. Ever.

It turns out that Wisconsin’s “budget shortfall” it the direct result of Governor Walker and his allies pushing through tax cuts that CREATED the problem he’s supposedly trying to “fix”. Some more detail here.

As for taking rights away from public workers, there is no explanation how that saves money in the immediate future. With no rights, teachers and sanitation workers won’t be able to bargain for a fair wage and benefits in the future, but that’s not what the Governor purports to be doing.

No, Scott Walker is beholden to the evil bastiches who paid for his campaign, among them the Koch Brothers from Texas, who are working hard to destroy unions in our nation.

Jimmy Hoffa aside, unions have done a lot in this nation. You have weekends, usually 8 hour shifts, no kids in coal mines, and so on because of unions. Carnegie might have build a lot of libraries but he didn’t give a rat’s ass about the common man. And it wasn’t his job to. No company is paid to worry about what workers need. That’s kind of the point of capitalism and to believe otherwise is to be an idiot.

And so while carpet-bagging Tea Baggers are going to Wisconsin to “support Walker” even though THEIR jobs aren’t on the line, it’s mostly a sham to screw Americans out of even more rights.

And this isn’t just a Wisconsin or tea bagger thing. It is part of a national plan of attack on working men and women. And that’s as simple as it gets to explaining the situation there and across this land.
