Well…now that old Donald has just about locked up the repub nomination…the spooked establishment repubs and many, many of the repubs up for election this fall are running away from him like crazy…even going so far as to not mention his name…just saying ‘the nominee” instead of Trump’s name. The meme of the whole thing is that “Trump and what he said in the primaries doesn’t represent the repub party” and that you should still vote for the rest of the repubs that are running….yeah…doesn’t represent the repub party when he won the nomination? And, the majority of the rank and file repubs voted for him? The repub party is exactly the misogynist, homophobic, “other” hating party that they appear…and they have been using this hate to win elections for the past 40 years…but now that the elites of the party can’t control the hate they have spawned and that’s how they got Trump…who threw away the dog whistles and shouted that hatred from every podium starting with his announcement speech. So now, we have the repub party laid bare to expose what they have been about all along…and the base has been released by Trump to openly spew the hatred that has always been just under the surface…you reap what you sow idiots….geez…

Dem infighting and repub repbranding…
Well…it has been a busy day but I did get the ham soup made and made some cash…but, I do have one more to do to get to the goal for the month so here goes…the first thing I want to talk about is the dem infighting that is going on between the Hillary and Bernie supporters. I understand that many of the Bernie supporters are new to the political process and are more driven by idealism… but, politics is a process that needs a dose of realism as well….and that reality is the Hillary will probably win the nomination and no matter how much that hurts Bernie’s supporters (and I am one of them) we need to get back to reality and support the nominee of our party…to sit out the election will hand it to Drumpf and to any person that is based in reality, that can’t be better than having Hillary as president. The second thing is a funny article I read about the “rebranding” of the repubs that will happen if they lose the election…I laughed when I read that…rebrand to what? The repub party is JUST what they have been showing in this primary season…a group of racist, mysoginist, haters that are reflecting exactly what their base is….that no minorities need apply…that women are just things that have no rights to control their own bodies…that christians deserve special rights to discriminate against everyone they don’t like and the repubs will use the government to deliver this hate….if this is your vision of America, you sure as hell shouldn’t be here reading this….go back to redstate….geez….
What the hell is it with Michigan Republicans?
Well…you would think after ole Dave Agema went off on gays, Muslims, and everyone else who is not a repub here in Michigan saying that gays use up all of the insurance for everyone since they all have aids, that the repubs would understand that this is batshit crazy and would tone it down some…but nope, now we have another Michigan repub who is running to represent Michigan in the national repub party saying pretty much the same thing about gays, saying that “Satan uses homosexuality to attack the living space of the holy spirit” and that all gays should be purged from the party…don’t really know what to say about that but it does show a pattern from the repubs that they have tried and tried to hide to appeal to people who aren’t haters…I find it telling that there are still such backward, idiotic people and that they are all from the repub party…I just don’t understand what has happened to the repubs here in Michigan…a party that gave us Bill Milliken and Jerry Ford…but, I will say “keep it up” define yourselves so we don’t have to….geez…
Dave Agema is still an idiot…
Well…if you haven’t been living in a cave over the past month or so, you have heard about the loathsome comments that the repub committeeman Dave Agema made…casting gays as murder victims and aids carriers and making the assertion that there has not been one incidence where a Muslim has done anything good for the US…these were bad enough, butt then this week, he stood in front of a repub group here in GR and doubled down on the comments, playing the normal conservative whine card that the media is trying to silence him with political correctness…yadda, yadda. Nope, Dave, you’ve got that wrong…no one is trying to silence you…especially those of us who are progressives…we just love it when you right wing idiots expose the truth of the repub party… breaking through the veneer of lies that have gotten Walker elected in Wisconsin and Snyder elected here in Michigan. One of the ironies here is that old Dave thinks that he has the right to spew his hate without consequence, but when people call him out on it, he wants those critics to be silenced so he can continue to foment hate and racism…but, Dave, it doesn’t work that way…sure, you get to be a hate filled asshole and I will defend your right to say whatever you want, but, your critics also get to call you out on your nonsense and you don’t get to play the martyr card to somehow justify your hate…keep it up, Dave, you are the best thing that has happened to we progressives here in Michigan in a long time…geez…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…
Well…you should see my face, I’m grinning so much from this little piece of news that I think I’m going to hurt it…if you haven’t heard, the second largest broadcaster in the US is going to dump Rush Limbaugh since they can’t get any advertisers for his show anymore…other than natural “manhood” enhancers or gold sellers…and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy (snark)…this idiot has been almost solely responsible for the coarsening of the political discourse in this country and his hate filled spewing has emboldened the other crazies on the right to do the same…I hope this is a harbinger of things to come for the repubs across the country so we don’t have to listen to this nonsense anymore….yay…
It’s never a liberal or an atheist…
Well…I have to wade in on a thought that has been rattling around in my mind of late and it crystallized some over the past few days…when you see the shootings, bombings, or other assorted hate that pollutes our society, it never comes from liberals or atheists…two groups that the right would have you think are the ones who are destroying our society, but from the crazed right and with the rhetoric that the right and their followers have thrown around since their loss in the election; the secession nonsense, the “second amendment” solution nonsense, and the calls for armed insurrection, what the hell did you expect? When you have crazed parents that sit with their guns and rail constantly about taking back our country, filling their children’s heads with the nonstop Fox propaganda of hate, what the hell do you expect is going to happen? When you have one of the major political parties demonizing everyone that doesn’t agree with them, what the hell do you expect? When you have major Christan groups that applaud the killing of doctors that provide abortion services, what the hell do you expect? I am going to lay the blame for the coarsening, death, and hate on the place where it belongs…the modern right and its political party, the Republicans. Geez…
The haters are back…
Well…I don’t know if you caught any of the “Rally to Restore Sanity” that Comedy Central, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert put on today, but I found it to be funny at times (they are comedians after all), but more than that it seemed to be a friendly, reasonable response to all of the hate and venom coming from the right. And, the smiles on the faces reminded me that America can be a good place, one where there are reasonable people that can still want better for their country without having it be the all or nothing warfare that the right wants it to be. But, as you can probably predict, the right has been apoplectic that the middle would come together especially led by “entertainers” that, to them, have no right to their own opinions…conveniently forgetting that the right is led by two “entertainers”…named Beck and Limbaugh.
To get to the title…was just reading the message boards on Yahoo that followed a story about today’s event and the pure, unblinking, hatred of the right for anyone but themselves surprised even me….but do you expect any different? What kind of lives do these people have that they need to squat on these boards and spew their hate at any one that is different or thinks differently than them? Does it make them feel better to hate? I think the real problem is that the republicans have made it okay to hate again, no, have made it a requirement for their followers to hate…all Jon Stewart was trying to do was give a voice to those of us that want a return to reasonableness and compromise. Is that a reason to hate him and us? Geez…
