Well…I sit here shaking my head at the nonsense coming out of the repubs in this last week over Syrian immigrants and I really didn’t think it could get worse…but then these idiots go even farther toward fascism led by…well..by all of them…first there was a governor in the south that said that he thought internment camps for all muslims was a good idea…then we have the Donald saying that all muslims should have special ID and we should have a database with all of them in it…registration as a muslim…hmmmm…does anyone else remember when this was last done…to the Jews…in WW II? Then we have ole Rubio proposing we shut down anywhere that muslims meet in this country including coffee shops and I would suppose shopping malls. Then the normal cast of candy asses on the right who are scared of their own shadows pass a bill in the house that prevents any more Syrian refugees from being allowed to come here…you get my drift…these tough guys who say they can take on the bad guys in the world and stand up to Putin are all shaking with the prospect of orphans and families from the middle east coming here to live and make a new life…the American Dream…you remember that assholes? I just can’t any more of this dumbing down of our country….what a bunch of crap…geez…

Idiot repubs….
Well…with the scared shitless repubs across the nation taking their fear out on Syrian refugees and the vetting process for those refugees, when asked, these idiots can’t point to one part of the process that is deficient…they just know it must be because Obama or something…and this doubly applies to our idiot governor, Rick Snyder, who started this whole mess. When asked yesterday which part of the 2 year process needs to be changed, he couldn’t come up with one thing….not one that he would change but he is also so scared by orphans and families from the middle east that he just KNOWS it needs to be changed…and it is all caused by the attacks in Paris. Here’s the thing…none of the attackers in Paris were refugees…they all were residents of Europe and had passports from Belgium and other European countries and no tightening of the vetting process would have kept them from coming to the US…we don’t even require visas for people to come here…meaning that these same terrorists could have just gotten on a plane and flew here with just their passports in hand. But, again, we have the repubs in their fear filled world attacking the wrong people for the wrong reasons since facts don’t mean anything to them…..good job you ignorant asses…hurt people and make the world more difficult…it’s what you are good at….geez…
Mike Pence is just the biggest ass in the US….
Well…with all of the chickenshit repub governors, including ours here in Michigan, puffing out their chests and saying they will block any Syrian refugees from settling in their states…we have a new low from the really, really asshole governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, who today said that two Syrian families who have been waiting for three years to come here will not be allowed to settle there. There’s your modern repub christian folks…spout Jesus all the time but when it comes to really following their supposed religion, they are just too damn scared or, even worse, are making a political calculation to leave these families in limbo just to get some votes from their equally scared and equally asholley voters….this crap needs to be stomped on now, it is against the law for Pence to do that…federal immigration law trumps what an asshole from Indiana thinks…states do not have the authority to ban anyone from entering the country…he should be sued or arrested and put in jail…I have had enough of these holier than thou asses who wave the constitution around but then ignore it when it’s not convenient or can’t be used to discriminate against people they don’t like….as you know, I’m an atheist but I know a little about religion and know that there is a special place in hell for people like Pence who do nothing to protect the least of the people…to paraphrase the new testament…I think it goes like this…what you do to them, you do to me…so Pence…you’ve discriminated against Jesus as you’ve discriminated against these poor folks who are yearning to breathe free…what a chickenshit move from a chickenshit person….there is even a better rant on this subject by Hunter over at Dalykos today….breathtaking in outrage…
Bye, bye Bobby…
Well…I’m not sure that you knew this or not but Bobby Jindal was still running for president…until today that is…he just announced that he is ending his campaign…but, my question is “why did he start it?” His only credentials were hate of everyone that isn’t a repub, a trashed economy in Louisiana, and rejecting any refugees from Syria…yep, pretty thin resume if you ask me…great for a repub but thin for anyone else. He was never, ever going to get the nomination of the repubs anyway…just another of his delusions to go along with thinking that cutting taxes, gutting his state government, and trashing the university system would be better for his state and make the economy grow….so…bye, bye Bobby…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out….or do, I don’t give a damn…
Can these guys get even more stupid?
Well…with the scaredy cat repubs doing everything they can to prevent any of the refugees from Syria being settled in the US since they are all 8 feet tall super terrorists…even the 5 year olds…we now have Texas weighing in on why they shouldn’t be allowed to come here and it is so dripping with irony and stupidity that I just had to comment on it. I wonder if you can guess what that would be? A state rep, Tony Dale, went off on a tv interview the other day saying that Texas can’t accept any refugees since it would be too easy for them to buy guns when they arrived…yep…let that one soak in a minute…a guy who has the highest rating for being a shill for the NRA basically says that if you’re a crazy assed white person threatening to shoot federal government employees you can have all the guns you can afford, but, if you’re a refugee (a brown person and probably not a good christian), you can’t. He goes so far as to make sure that any id they may get from the government be stamped so that it can’t be used to purchase a gun…never mind that this idiot blocked laws that would have mandated ID’s and background checks for gun purchases in Texas…and that any refugee could walk into any gun show in Texas and buy whatever he wants without showing any ID…so, what this boils down to is that this racist just doesn’t want any more not white people in his state and he will use any reason to rationalize keeping them out…and to him, the constitution doesn’t apply to anyone except those he approves of…typical asshole repub….geez…
Fear and nothing but fear from the right…
Well….for presenting themselves as the big, tough Americans, the repubs sure like to push all fear all the time. And, here they go again with the refugees from Syria that scare repub governors so much that they are refusing to accept any more in their states…and yes, our idiot governor started this whole thing yesterday when he said he was ‘rethinking” taking in any Syrian refugees…as if they have any say in it. Immigration is a federal government function and while it would be nice to have agreement with the governors, it is not necessary…but, the big thing here is the absolute glee that repubs are showing after the Paris attacks, giving them another reason for another war with ole Mitt going so far as to say we need 50,000 troops on the ground right now…after all his investment in the MIC is not making as much money now that we are out of Iraq and heading out of Afghanistan. One thing you will not hear from these idiots is any talk of how to pay for another war, after all, they never paid for the last two and let the dem come in and do the hard work of reducing the deficit and paying the bills. I think it’s time for us to discard these fear mongers…these repubs that are afraid of their own shadows and find danger everywhere…they should be recognizing where the true danger is…a danger that has cost the lives of 280,000 Americans over the past 10 years…the crazy fetish the right has with guns and more guns everywhere….the stupidity, it burns….geez…
No Paris today…
Well…I was going to do one on the tragedy in Paris but what more can I say than it is one of the most evil things I have ever seen..and I’ve been around for a long time…one of the reactions that I see as a continuation of the fear based decision making of the repubs is that old Snyder has stopped the work being done for Michigan to take in some of these refugees….never mind that only one of the killers in Paris were from the refugee diaspora…that doesn’t matter to the repubs who are just scared shitless of everything…there was a good article out on Kos today that looks at the psychology of conservatives and it is not a pretty picture…worth reading, but not pretty….and with the repub candidates, you can see their bias showing through when ole Jeb! said that we should only help christian refugees….as if that would be any easier to prove than not being a terrorist….still shaking my head at all of this and I will expand on that tomorrow…but, right now…I am just going to get more ice water and watch some racing….
I guess there are no rules for the right…
Well….if you have been following politics for a long time as I have, you will no doubt remember the rule that the repubs used to have..”never speak ill of another repub”….looking at what is going on now, that rule has been shredded and dumped down the sewer. You only have to look at the spat between ole Donald and Ben Carson when the Donald compared ole Ben to a child molester to start and then trotted out some tried and true racist dog whistles to go after him since he is rising in the polls. Then ole Ben shot back with the comment that “he is terribly sad for Donald” and it is bad to see him “implode before our eyes”….now, I can see the ads that are going to be run if either of these idiots gets nominated and it won’t be pretty since they will use the words of other repubs to attack the nominee and the dems won’t even have to write anything. Contrast that to the deep policy discussions that are going on on our side….now, I am not naive enough to think that no one on our side will go negative…after all, negativity works in some instances and we do want to win…I am laughing at the lack of discipline on the right when they have lived by staying on the talking point message so well over the past few years…just hope they keep it up….
Just one more on ole Ben…
Well…I know I’ve been doing a lot of these on ole Ben Carson but damn, he’s such an easy target that I just have to….and the latest thing shows that this idiot has an ego that is bigger than anyone’s in the world probably…the other day, trying to justify his absolute lack of political experience and knowledge, he compared himself to the founding fathers, stating that none of them had ever held elected office either…but, when he was told that most of them really had held offices in the early governments before the US was born, he comes back with the lame, lame qualifier that none of them had held FEDERAL office….which of course is true since there were no federal offices at that time. The whole idea that this idiot is comparing himself to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest is just the worst sort of egoism…the only thing he has in common with any of these guys is his first name…to compare himself to the people who built the structure of this country that endures to this day is so over the top that I am going to stop commenting here and just let that soak in for a while…what a maroon…..
One more on ole Ben…
Well…if you have listened to Ben Carson with some sort of critical ear…you know he is just a delusional liar, but today another huge lie was exposed that has me shaking my head…one of the stories he told and continues to tell is one where he says he was offered a full ride scholarship to West Point after having a long talk with General Westmorland when he was 17…the problem with that is that it never happened…he may have met the general while they were at the same dinner at that time, but there is no record that he ever applied to West Point…there is no congressperson that put forth his application…which is necessary…there is no record whatsoever that this even happened…so what does that make him….let me think…a liar? The sad thing is that him being such a bald faced liar will not hurt him with the idiots on the right…..they will blame it on the “lamestream” media as ole Ben has already started to do….this guy should never be in any office…anywhere….he shouldn’t even be in this race…geez…
