Well…the news coming out of this country over the past few years has reached a point for me where I’m not sure it can be saved…the crazy asses on the right have ruined this once great country with their violent, hate filled lives that have spilled over into everything…the latest was this guy from Minnesota who had his house broken into once and decided he was going to kill the next people who did it…hid his car, loaded up three guns, started the video and hid in his basement waiting for it to happen again…oh, left his house unlocked, too…okay, I know, I have no sympathy for people that break the law but when did burglary become a death sentence? The incident unfolded with a 15 year old boy and girl breaking into his house, looking around and going down into the basement where the homeowner was waiting…the unarmed 15 year old went down the stairs and this guy shot him 6 times in the chest…and while he was dying, shot him in the head to make sure…then, the girl came down the stairs and this idiot shot her in the chest another six times…but since she was not dying fast enough, he put a gun under her chin and executed her….laughing all the time with glee. Then the guy calls the cops fully expecting to be treated like a hero but was arrested for first degree murder and the tapes show he couldn’t understand why…he thought it was just fine to kill anyone who he thought should be…after all, Zimmerman chased down Trayvon Martin, shot him and got away with it. The worst part is that after this guy was convicted, Sean Hannity went on his show today with nothing but support for this murderer….when does this crap start to have consequences for him? When does his support of crazies in Utah arming themselves and threatening federal agents have consequences? I’ve had enough of this gun and death fetish crap here…I think the UN should issue a travel warning about tourists coming to the US…when the dollars stop flowing, the NRA will be pushed aside by business and maybe some sanity will be restored…still want to move to Canada….geez…

The lies continue…
Well…BENGHAZI!!!! Just had to get hat one out since the repubs are back on that kick again…as Dave Weigel said this morning that no matter what the repubs say, there is no more there there…still the propaganda wing of the party, Fox news, is on the all Benghazi all the time kick they were on a few months back….all this because the administration trusted the CIA analysis and used it in a press conference…I guess this is so much worse than lying us into war and spending 5,000 American lives and 6 trillion dollars on those lies…and being cheerleaders for breaking international law and torturing people…of course it’s worse, it was done by the administration of the dem in office…and just being in office and being a dem is an impeachable offense to the idiots on the right….geez…
Smart guys in NC…
Well…wanted to get to the last one for the month and one fell into my lap…and it really make me smile…in NC this week a group of religious organizations backed by the UCC (United Church of Christ) filed suit to overturn the ban on same sex marriage there…and the really neat little twist is that they are basing it on religious grounds…the same weapon that the haters on the right have been using to prevent these marriages until now. What the UCC is saying is that their right to practice their religion and run it as they see fit is being restricted by the ban on same sex marriages there and are using the first amendment that states that there can be no laws that restrict the free exercise of religion to hit back at the haters since the UCC says that it is okay in their church for same sex couples to get married. I applaud these creative people and the turnabout that they have played on the right….I just hope that the judge that gets the case sees it as clear as it it…
A few things…
Well…there have been a few things happen over the past couple of days that I thought deserved comment so here we go…first, a federal court has stricken the new, repub sponsored voter id law for doing exactly what the repubs wanted it to do…disenfranchise the poor and minorities and I hope that this is the start of the end of the false “voter fraud” crap the the repubs have been pushing for decades now even though none has ever been found…there was another good decision by the supreme court yesterday that says that the EPA really does have the power to regulate greenhouse gasses under the clean air act…this is another one of those repub sponsored attacks on the EPA since they truly believe that their bosses should be allowed to pollute as much as they want while pushing the costs of that pollution on the American people; not the polluters who are actually doing it…so, this should put the rest to these types of suits especially since this was a 6-2 decision with no wavering by the majority…so sorry polluters…geez…
Hater in chief…
Well…have just read an article about ole sister Sarah’s speech in front of the NRA this past week and I can’t believe how much hate has permeated the right since she was unleashed on the country…and, this last speech had one line that distilled it down to it’s essence…”If I were in charge, waterboarding would be baptizing terroists” or some such nonsense as that….so, this darling of the right, this supposed upholder of everything American is willing to discard everything the US has stood for since it’s inception just to look tough and throw red meat to the lunatics that are now running the repub party? She should be called the hater in chief with views like that…hate the Muslims, hate the gays, hate the progressives, hate the immigrants, hate the minorities…hell, hate everyone unless they are part of the tiny fringe in this country who still think slavery was a good idea and that any white person is just better than anyone else….this is what they’ve devolved into…and she is the hater in chief…or grifter in chief….either one fits…or both fit….geez…
Trying to keep up again…
Well…it has been a lazy day today and I even skipped the bike ride with the wind blowing over 20…and I have been thinking about topics for today without much luck….there is the whole racism thing that has been running through the news lately and the funniest part off that is any repub coming out to say they are shocked, shocked, that there are racists in the repub party…look, today’s repub party is based on racism, sexism, and hatred and they wear it as a badge of honor…voter suppression, anti immigration, hatred of gays and on an on are planks in the repub platform….and, let’s keep away from the false equivalency that everyone is that way…none of the progressives that I know are and you never hear anyone on the left saying this crap….geez….
This is pretty funny…
Well…have been following the whole Cliven Bundy thing for a couple of days now and I find the reporting of the thing by Fox to be quite funny…when ole Cliven was just a thief that stole a million dollars from you and me, Fox championed him as being some kind of a patriot, as they do with all of the thieves on the right when they break the law…never mind that the repubs are supposed to be the “law and order” party…but, the latest reporting on Fox of ole Cliven’s racist rant is interesting to say the least…in that it doesn’t exist there…nope, not one peep from even ole Cliven’s biggest supporter and publicity agent, Sean Hannity….and that is pretty funny…not that Fox even gives a damn about the crap they spout….it’s just funny that they backed the wrong guy and it blew up in their faces…as it almost always does with each and every new American hero they try to promote…geez…
Need to keep up…
Well…the day turned out better than expected and I made a little cash so that is cool…and I got to put the top down out and back for pool and that always makes me smile….but, I think the clutch cylinder I replaced is going bad again…just doesn’t feel right…damn….one political thing that I am smiling about is the pushback the Koch brothers are finally getting on the lies they are spouting across the country…people are starting to recognize their ads when they come on and are skipping them…they have already spent over 30 million dollars on trying to buy the senate in this election but have not moved the needle one bit…that even makes me laugh out loud…couldn’t happen to “nicer” people…that was snark if you didn’t know….
It’s welfare unless it’s for the right…
Well…not sure if you’ve been following the saga of the right wing hero rancher, Cliven Bundy, who has been in the news for his theft of almost a million dollars in grazing fees on federal land which he feels he has every right to steal since he doesn’t recognize that the federal government exists. Yeah, another one of those, these self righteous grifters on the right who feel they can just ignore any law they don’t agree with if they can profit by it. But, it gets even worse…or should I say it gets more normal for the right with the comments this idiot made this morning about “Negroes” who were better off as slaves than getting subsidies like food stamps or other parts of the safety net since getting help from the government of course takes away your incentive to work and is a bad use of tax dollars. But, he has no problem with stealing a million dollars in “rancher welfare” to allow him to keep that million dollars in profit…after all, he is entitled to it since the federal government has no right to collect those fees….just like the folks at Walmart and almost every other right wing company who pay their workers too little to live on and then watch the feds make up the balance in Medicaid and food stamps while they line their pockets with yours and my tax dollars…just what ole Cliven is doing…and just what everyone on the right supports. Grifters all…geez…
This guy runs the RNC?
Well…I am still laughing after reading about this one earlier in the afternoon and I wonder if all the people in the repub party are this stupid? If you haven’t heard the laughter yet, the head of the RNC…the guy with the just improbable name, came out today and called for an investigation since Harry Reid is using his Twitter account to attack the Koch brothers and the idiots on the right…and the reason he wants this investigation? The idiot called it “using his government paid for Twitter account for political purposes”….this idiot is so stupid or out of touch that he doesn’t know that Twitter accounts are free with sign up…no government or any other kind of payment so where is the scandal? There isn’t one…just like the rest of the fake scandals that have been perpetrated by the right….just a bunch of idiots who don’t want to govern…just try to score points…geez…
