Why I Don’t Write About Sarah Palin’s Facebook Posts
"People of Faith" must NO LONGER be allowed to act out in ANY way that they wish because they feel that 'their god' commands them to. This kind of behavior is known as jihadist when referring to the middle east - it is no different here in the US. Religious folks: we love you, but we hate your sins and your craziness. Please, stop ramming your lifestyle down out throats. It's fine that you love the way that you love. Even though your 'lover' is invisible to the rest of us. We just wish you'd stop beating us over the head with it. Keep that kind of behavior in your churches where it belongs. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
"People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become, and they pay for it, very simply, by the lives they lead." (James Baldwin circa 1972)
“A lot of people don’t think the U.N. is any big threat,” said Karen Clark, an activist from Utah, telling TWI what she’d learned from Gaffney’s speech. “I hadn’t heard about the two schools of transnationalism before.”
Makes me think of this:
Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.
King Arthur: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
Both groups show what happens when "True Believers" pervert the concept of a once all loving God. The only difference between the two groups is the language used to misdirect their followers. (Arabic and English).
God doesn't necessarilly LOVE people. Both Judeo-Christian texts and Mohammed the kiddie-diddling (remember--he nailed 'wife' Aisha, when she was NINE) 'prophet's' collected rants state in several places, quite clearly, that he HATES people...sometimes. (He made 'em, so he can break 'em.)
Muslims are a special breed of literalist crazy. They actually believe that the Qur'an was Gabriel's verbatum dictation of a heaven-kept text etched in stone, in (apparently, fully-pointed for vowels) Classical Arabic...coincidentally, in the same dialect spoken by (the illiterate) Mohammed. Unlike even the most 'fundamentalist' Christian, or Jewish sect, there is no wiggle room for interpretation, or translation. The Qur'an (in Classical Arabic--translations are merely 'interpretations') is the word of God, PERIOD, right down to the 'beat your wife' and 'fuck 72 whores in Heaven' bits. Try teaching the Qur'an in a comparative religion class, and see how much trouble you'll get from the school's Muslim Students' Association.
As rotten as some Christian (e.g., Bountifull) and Chassidic Jewish sects are, nothing can compare with the darkest corners of the Islamic world, for sheer viciousness. On religious bigotry, family violence and misogyny, no other religion can touch Islam. Shari'a prescribes DEATH for aposacy. (Obama's Secret Service guys better watch out for bearded men with Qur'ans.) Religious groups like the Baha'i (whose prophets came AFTER Mohammed) are routinely killed by Muslims. 'Honor killings' of women by Muslim family members are all-too common, even in the West. Female genital mutillation (clitorectomies and/or cutting the labia off) is common, especially in North African Muslim communities (even in the U.S.). Pederasty is considered acceptable, even in 'moderate' sects like Sufism (see 'Man Love Thursdays', in Afghanistan). Salman Rushdie is in hiding and Theo van Gough is dead, thanks to Muslim fatwas. Can you think of any other religion that rioted over CARTOONS?
Enough equivocating. Islam, at least the dominant Salafi variety, is festering garbage and a threat to our physical and cultural survival. It's on par with the Thugee/Kali Cult, or Aum Shinrikyo, but a BILLION strong.
For Christians and Jews, getting buggered by Satan is what awaits people who commit suicide; for Muslims, it's blowjobs from 72 dark-eyed virgins of indeterminate gender.
“Her credibility is questioned because she has an accent,” said Davis, defending Taitz, “and yet the reason she has an accent is because she came from a Communist country, and she knows how awful that is, to have a government usurped.”
Just because she CAME from a communist country does not mean she knows what communism is. Her credibility is questioned not because of her accent, but because she gets online degrees...and she advances an asinine argument that ignores any evidence contradictory to what she WANTS to be true. Just like all the other fools discussed in this article.
Disgusting. The whole lot of you people who actually believe any of this drivel.
Sums it up nicely!
If these tinfoil hat fools dared to behave like teabaggers, they'd have been locked up forever.
Where were they when Bush was redistributing 80% of the wealth to 2% of the population.
Bush was a fascist, not Obama. Palin is a fascist, her way or the highway.
The GOP has learned the lessons well of Hitler. Their propaganda network worked for a while, they got what they wanted, then what!
An $11 TRILLION DOLLAR WAR, waged on the wrong country, all about oil folks, so Cheney could charge $4.50 a gallon.
Now these fools, NOW they're out in force blaming a guy trying to fix the problems. They're evil, and I mean their lack of consciousness.
I can assure these fools, as a person how lost countless family members in the camps, OBAMA IS NOT A FASCIST OR COMMUNIST!
Although I'd love it if he were a socialist! These tinfoil hate wearers all summer long, fronting for the damned insurance companies. A lady, uninsured and unemployed screaming, no health care reform!! It's NOT health care reform, it's INSURANCE REFORM, idiots!
I hate this damned country anymore. Wish I were a Canadian.

A lot of the things that these people say come directly from the mouth of Moon himself.
Most of these conservatives do not even know about Moonies, much less how much influence they have over their party.
I'm relieved, though, that so many comments here provide ample evidence of well-read, well-educated people aware of the etymology and history behind all the words being tossed around so casually, as well the actual contents of our founding documents.
Fascism. Totalitarianism. Socialism. Nazis.
As John Stuart Mill remarked, all conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but generally, stupid people are conservatives.
This is one of the most scary things I have learned about.
These people ARE actually doing what hitler did. This is how he started, with religious support!
And claiming how evil the government was.
IT
IS
THE
PLAN
IDIOT.
Or perhaps they already have. One thing that's ironic about the birther controversy is that Republican candidate John McCain was ineligible for the presidency; he was born in Panama.
I predict they will be kicked out in 2010 in an extraordinary act of patriotism by right thinking Americans.
It is particularly ironic how they repeatedly refer to Obama as a fascist and a Nazi. If one considers what their own president, and their Republican party did in the dark days and years after the September 11th attacks; If one considers the USA Patriot Act, GITMO, the bombings and invasions - The culture of fear and paranoia that these very people embraced and supported, it's amazing that the U.S. did NOT become a totalitarian police state in the early part of this decade.
Now we've finally got a decent president with a moral compass and a brain in his head, and these people despise him. Here they are, up in arms, calling him Hitler. And why? Because he wants...universal healthcare. The monster!
I am pretty confident that the right wing nuts can forget about "Taking back America" at any point in the foreseeable future. If the Republicans are smart, they'll start thinking about taking back their own party from the crazies and the talk radio hosts. If they don't start acting like grownups (and calling Obama a Marxist is NOT grown up), they'll risk being out on the fringes of government for the next generation.
-------------Once you go black, you never go back--------------------------------------------
Basil the scholar insists that people at this seminar are 'hard' traditionalists. This could be code for accepting orthodox Judaism as opposed to the liberalized teachings of Jesus. As he alone knows what this means, I request a clarification.
History has many lessons. One seems to speak to this cause directly:
'We have nothing to fear, but fear itself."
Let's not overlook the fact that under Hitler's Nazi Germany, more than 100,000 homosexuals were sent to concentration camps for "re-education"... as many as 15,000 were documented to have been murdered by the Gestapo. These acts scream of intolerance... if not outright hate of homosexuality.
As an educated heterosexual male, I find the ultra conservative right wing's intolerance to gay people a more telling and ominous parallelism to National Socialism than anything Obama, the democrats, and progressives have been discussing -- and I don't care how Fox News is portraying it either.
The lady from Austria looks and sounds more like a nazi than anyone in the government.
Despite his anti-communism and that of the Agency, even J.E. Hoover was perturbed by these charlatans, some ex-FBI agents trading mendaciously on the name, and generating some 10,000 calls per month to the FBI to verify, refute, or sort it out. Big money in that.
------
"Admiral Chester Ward, the retired former Judge Advocate General, who told FBI the he, Ward, had been contacted by Skousen to see if he would be a participating member in the program. Ward told Mott that Skousen impressed him as an ‘unprincipled racketeer in anticommunism’ who is ‘money mad’ and who is doing anything and everything to exploit the subject."
Admiral Ward told Mott that he intended to have absolutely nothing to do with Skousen in this or any other of his money-making ventures in this field since he feels that Skousen is totally unqualified and is interested solely in furthering his own personal ends.
The Bureau frequently described Schwarz with the epithet “professional anticommunist” – and they also included Billy James Hargis (Christian Crusade), former FBI Special Agent Dan Smoot and Edgar C. Bundy (Church League of America) in this category.

Glenn Beck has been heavily peddling "The 5000-Year Leap" by this late Skousen.
Deja vu.
1. Osama bin Laden prays all the time.
2. Huh?
And the radical right is afraid of fascism? Huh? Haven't they been acting like fascists?
1. alliance of government and corporations
2. touting violence as a way of solving problems
3. finding a group to hate and attack (i.e. muslims)
4. supporting the wiretapping of american citizens by its own government
ETC.
(NATURES PECKING ORDER)
Now, while mucking about on the various sites for any really relevant news of the, we came upon a phrase use on one site, [Social Stratification], it’s no more than a term which means that there is a normal pecking order within nature itself, it’s a Darwin, and Statistical Analysis Demographic, related concept, at the top of the pecking order are the Got’s, they got it all, and that means all, and at the bottom at the ones that the Got’s, Got it all from, the Ain’t Got’s. Which all fits neatly, into how reality really works and not into the dream world that [All men are created equal] theory of Democracy, and why Democracies always meet with a quick end in the time span. Even in the Empire (NYC) New York City, and Washington, D.C. [District of Clowns] they have Got’s and Ain’t Got’s, on the East Side of New York City are the Got’s about as [Black] as a Que Ball on a pool table, and in Harlem are the Ain’t Got’s, about as [White] as the Eight Ball on a pool table. The Got’s have private parks that they have keys to and can look down into from their lofty abodes, and the Ain’t Got’s have Empty Lots with trash in them were tenements use to be, the world of reality is a cruel, cold place.
(DEMOGRAPHICS VS DEMOCRACY)
Now, we are in a period of Demographic Change, a period when those that were at the economic bottom of the social pecking order have numbers that in a Democratic Process, Voting etc., and Thomas Jefferson wrote that [A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where [51%] fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other [49%] forty-nine percent, .have the superior numbers, the balance of power by number has shifted, and many would argue that is Democracy at work, and that would be absolutely correct, and the reason why Democracy Fails. In the real world in life there is a natural pecking order, and Race, Color, Creed, Religion, Gender, Sexual Orientation, matter, and judgments are made according to them. Understand that the American-Israeli Empire is [NOT UNITED] it is Demographically Divided, there are Black, Hispanic, and White Television Stations, There are Black, Hispanic and White Neighborhoods, and each has its own culture, language, and separate perspective on issues. In the past it was understood that the Pecking order went White then Black, then another culture entered the picture Hispanic, now three separate cultures are jockeying for pecking order position, and between now and [2050] civil war [Race War] is more than possible, it could be inevitable, the Old World has gone thru these periods of social upheaval but the New World has not, but the attitudes that caused the social upheavals in Old World were carried from that world to this by the Demographic movements of its population.
[Hofstadter Wrote]
Panics, conspiracy fears and militant campaigns against outsiders began almost as soon as the republic was founded, Hofstadter writes. In the [1790s], ultra-conservative elements, particularly in New England, became obsessed with the supposed conspiracies of the Society of the Illuminati (a Bavarian Freemason group) to subvert established religions and overturn all the world's governments. More anti-Mason scares followed in the [1820s and 30s].
In the middle of the [19th] century, when hundreds of thousands of Irish and German Catholics began migrating to the [US], anti-Catholic hysteria bloomed like a fetid rose.
Jesuits and other priests, and Protestant were creeping around every corner of the [US], determined to enslave the [US] and carry out a war of extermination against heretics on the orders of the Pope in Rome.
And even today on (www.ThinkProgressive.Org.) Amanda Terkel has posted an article entitled [Group marches for “White Civil Rights” after Limbaugh hyped bus beating as hate crime against whites], and so it begins.
[The Black Community Activist President]
Now, the idea that both Hispanic and White American-Israeli Empire citizens are angry with the Imperial Media Messiah President is founded in truth, as the Black Community with reason, a Black Man in the White House, feels no doubt that they now have an edge, in the pecking order. And the Messiah has fed into that with a [STUPID COP] White Cop, Black Citizen, and it’s another Rodney King incident and the comment of [If you hadn’t notice I was Black before becoming President]. These comments have gone a long way in further dividing an already divided nation. An the approach to the position of President is that of a Chicago, Black Activist, Community Leader, which is come in point to the problem that the community already knew existed, talk a lot and do little, leaving the nuts and bolts of how to fix and do the fixing to someone else, leaving the community prior to the setting of the sun, working for the benefit of just one portion of the community the Black Community. The Office of the President is about all the citizens and not a select group. There is a seat in the Oval Office that needs an occupant more than the guest seats on Television Talk Shows, and at this point the Clintons may in fact not be a bad idea to have sitting down the hall as Joe Biden, seems to be clueless of what is going on.
HERCULE TRIATHLON SAVINIEN
Mighty generous of Phyllis to honor herself.
No, her credibility is questioned because she is insane.
Or, maybe people don't like her perma-tan. (Must be a George Hamilton phobia.)
That would be terrorism, not activism.
These folks need a life. If they would just turn off Fixed News, their brains would actually grow, not shrink. Good grief.
The worst sin committed by Fox was cancelling 'The Inside'. I miss Rachel Nichols, damnit! Why was THAT show cancelled (and Fox's 'Wonderfalls', with the lovely Caroline Dhavernas), but that dreadful 'Criminal Minds' still on the air...?
http://www.miamiherald.com/460/story/1225950.html
Fail.
Some of those "stories" you mention - like Obama's bow to the Saudi King, which is a normal political protocol - or the so-called "terrorist fist bump" last fall - were outright hit pieces. Fox regularly engaged in cropping, selective editing, misdescription, or giving the news deliberate political spin that delights conservatives ... but ain't necessarily accurate. But you know that already.
And this ACORN story is complete bumpf. Really. So what.
So - no, the worst sin committed by Fox is NOT cancelling some sitcom. And you plainly know this
otherwise you wouldn't be trying to find cute ways to excuse Fox's agenda-based coverage.
Nice attempt to pose as an open-minded skeptic, BTW.
Obama's bow to the Sodomy Arserapian despot was NOT "normal political protocol", but a serious BREACH of Presidential Protocol. His team KNEW this, to the point of making up excuses ("he was sooo much taller, by an inch, that he had to bend waaay over..."). The other media networks--who helped pay for Obama's massive campaign bill--did their best to keep it off the news, but it went viral on Youtube. The 'fist-bump' was as innocent as Howard Dean's "yaaaaaayyyy!", though.
Nothing 'left wing conspiracy' about the major networks. They're just capitalist entities that want the whitespace spectrum for THEIR uses, when broadcasts go digital. (They're still fighting the Bush FCC's decision in court.)
Might. Might? talk about scare tactics. If anyone leaves the military due to DADT being repealed then they are idiots and un-American.
Hmmm. I'm white. I'm surrounded by white people. Many, many white people.
Sorry. My mistake. I don't know what you mean, but I do have a white congressman that talks just like you.
Care to rethink that statement?
In Canada, there is a suburb of Toronto called Springdale, nicknamed 'Singhdale', because of all the Sikh residents. Their Member of Parliament, the comely Dr Ruby Dhalla, was recently busted for employing foreign workers under slave-labor conditions. Dhalla also introduced a bill to allow people from her home country to claim Social Security benefits after being in the country for only three years--an actuarial time bomb.
People still have to eat, even when farmland is lost to housing and roads. People still have to have crops irrigated, waste (pee & poo) removed and treated, and have water to drink and clean with. Enough of this 'brown people are all poor and have a lower ecological footprint' crap. Increasing the population through ANY means (the current means is mass immigration) is destroying the environment.
like most uneducated people they have no testicals when it gets right down to it.
The problem is that the immigration system is so lax and inept that people who are in the U.S. illegally are rarely caught and removed. People who aid and abet illegal immigration (businesses, non-profit groups, individuals) are also rarely punished. Something is very wrong with the system, when MS-13 and Mexican Mafia members outnumber cops on LA streets.
Insurance companies, being Instruments of the Devil, also like to practise claims harrasment: many an American has gone to Mexico, had a heart attack, and found that their insurance company won't pay for a procedure without a lengthy preauthorization procedure. Meanwhile, the Mexican hospital will only treat your heart attack for cash up front...
Even the Ausssie Labour Party is acknowledging the fact that bringing in hundreds of thousands of people--rather shockingly--means that more land has to be used for housing. Much of the best farmland is lost anually, due to housing development, which increases food prices. A swelling population also strains our already overtaxed freshwater supplies. Since people in developed societies aren't exactly breeding like bunnies, it's MASS IMMIGRATION that is increasing our population. You can't stick your heads in the politically-correct sand over the overpopulation issue forever.
And yes, immigrants SHOULD speak 'American'. When you move to a new country, part-and-parcel of citizenship is learning the language. My Grandfather, who emmigrated on very short notice from Poland thanks to Hitler, knew English BEFORE getting off the boat. For immigrants (many of whom planed for YEARS to come to the U.S., Canada, or Australia) to whine about not having police, government services and schools in 'their' language is inexcusable.
Forget all this talk about the 'Latino Lobby', or illegal-employing sweatshops. The main lobbyists for mass immigration (including No Illegals Left Behind-type amnesties) are the real estate, construction and banking sectors. These industries need constant population growth, in order to justify housing development and associated infrastructure (roads, schools) construction. The fastest, surefire way to increase the population, since people in developed countries don't pop a zillion babies, is mass immigration. Many of the immigrants, even from 3rd-world countries, are also well-off. All the Mother Jones readers don't like to admit that there's such a thing as wealthy immigrants, especially if they come in colors other than white. Banks also need more housing construction, to keep the real estate bubble inflated (mortgages) and sell more financial products.
If you call yourself an 'environmentalist', yet support unlimited immigration--BET YOU HAVE NO SPINE.
I caught the quick comment at the beginning about Bush and supposedly they did not support him either, but do they not understand Bush socialized more industry than Obama? Do they not understand Bush redistributed more wealth than any president in history? In fact, the trillion dollars we have spent in Iraq is the largest redistribution of wealth any nation has ever undertaken. So why in the world do they encourage a Republican return to Congress in 2010? It's because they didn't disapprove of Bush. They were the remaining 22% that actually supported the guy.
Also, this 'gay people have taste' thing is a bad stereotype. Who'd you rather be dressed by: Sean John, or Perez Hilton?
They're right about gun ownership. Armed civilians are an important check on state power. Do you think Ahmedinajad would still be in power, if the protesters could actually shoot back at the riot police? Do you think Burma's rotten Junta, or Kim Jong Il would still be in power, if Burmese and North Korean civilians could own guns? 'Passive resistance'--that hoary old crap, from dead caste-system supporter Gandhi--only worked on the guilt-ridden and bankrupt British Raj.
If people want to see corporatism in action, have a look at Obama's political birthplace, Chicago. Richard M[obster] Daley's fiefdom is essentially a one-party state, with an economy run by private interests. Kinda like Lee Kwan Yew in Singapore.
When Dhimmwit[sic] authorities in NY pressed 'hate crime' charges against a man for tossing a Qur'an into a potty, and Yale refused to publish those Mohammed cartoons in a magazine, a line was crossed. We have no obligation to 'respect' Islam. Something is wrong, when authorities at Guantanamo have to handle the collectected ramblings of an insane child-molester with rubber gloves, so they don't get their icky infidel Crusader cooties on it. And, yes, Mohammed WAS a child molester: he screwed Aisha when she was NINE. If he were alive today, hed be on a Sex Offender Registry.
The Dhimmwit prize of all time, though, goes to Ronnie 'poop pants' Reagan. He's the dementia President who helped create the Mujaheddin cum Taliban...ultimately leading to the death of 3,000 people on 9/11. Obama, though, did his part to try to sink to Ronnie's level, when he bowed to King Abdulla--a GROSS violation of Presidential protocol. (NO American citizen, let alone the President of the Republic, is supposed to bow before ANY monarch.)
Like every other administration, Obama's is bought and paid for by corporate and union interests. With Obama, it's nice people like Monsanto and social workers' unions. The Food Safety legislation, crafted with Monsanto's input, is scary. Soo too the 4th Amendment-busting social worker snoop legislation in B.O.'s health bill. The biggest contributor, though, is the media-telecom sector: they want the Bush FCC's whitespace spectrum reallocation decision quashed. (This may affect you, if you want cheap broadband.)

Reason is valued at conservative conferences, and there is no censorship. If there are any liberal conferences that can draw 600 people at their own cost (rather than taxpayer expense), and I doubt there are, then you can bet that liberal censorship and political correctness rule the event.
Like the "reason" which connects Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden?
Like the "reason" which gives us "intelligent design?"
Like the "reason" which discounts any, and all, scientific research that doesn't support reactionary
idelogy? (i.e. drugs, homosexuality)
Like the "reason" which discounts Obama's US citizenship?
Like the "reason" which calls global climate change a "hoax?"
Like the "reason" behind "Government keep your hands off of Medicare?
Like the "reason" behind continuing to support free-market economics?
Like the "reason" behind your conclusion--even though you've never been to a "liberal" conference--that you know what goes on at liberal conferences?
Any comment?
Really?! If that's the case why are we spending so much money on national defense?
I marvel that they're so open about it.
Shame is seriously underrated.
Almost.
Oh the persecuted Christian. The poor, poor persecuted Christian. They simply can't understand why the people they persecute and punish (via the United States Government) are punching them. They just can't figure it out. Why would someone punch them back after getting punched abd raped BY them? Why oh why?
The problem is this; Christians have lost all sense of self. They have lost all sense of decency toward fellow mankind. They are living in fear. And under delusions. And certainly if Jesus Christ WERE to come back to earth, 'Christians' would not even recognize him. They would persecute him now, even as people did back then. Instead they would opt to hunt him down and kill him for turning their wine back into water.
If Christians aren't persecuting someone, they feel incomplete. Like they aren't 'doing their job.' Their persecution is what bonds them, it is what keeps them going back to church, and it is what keeps them paying their weekly stupid tax to the Church of What-The-F-Ever.
(This theory works for ALL religions. Just cross out 'Christian' and insert YOUR favorite religion in it's place. It's hours of fun for the whole (educated) family!)
Al Cracker!
I love that they use Abraham Lincoln who was an atheist. Just more proof that these people have no clue.
"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession."

They,stupid, just do not know, what they are talking about.
They are the closest ones, and they are - the real danger for the Nation.
My wife's family has taught more about Hilter and life in his Germany than any textbook could ever had taught me, and believe me, we were closer to "Hitler's" Germany while Bush and Cheney were in power. Even they told us every time we visited them in Germany over the past years while the Bush cabal was in power to be careful about those two as there were far more similarities with them than with Obama.
What bunch of ignorant fools.
I'd be very interested to hear what your wife's family has to say!
She blabs on about Hitler without ever mentioning anti-Semitism. She describes her homeland as "a 100 percent Christian nation" completely overlooking the 200,000 Jews who lived in Austria when Hitler marched in and the 65,000 who were eventually murdered in a country she lovingly recalls as being filled with "order, prayer and pictures of Jesus." Sounds just like what the far right has in mind for America
Thanks "General" Boykin! You are a great American indeed...
I'm ready for the Rapture to come along so all of these crazy fools will evaporate into thin air.
This is how one learns to rationalize, in politically correct terms, the visceral emptiness that emerges in the absence of compassion for another human being.
If the democrats are part of the "gay agenda", that would make the republican agenda fascist.
Evidently not a constitutional scholar either as we have separation of Church and state.
Follow the money. Did the banks GIVE $24 Trillion + $2 Trillion to the Government? No, the government gave $2 Trillon to the banks, then the Fed gave an additional $24 Trillion since last year. (Actually, they only gave $12 Trillion and promised another $12. This is not an anti-Jew statement about bankers.
I'm somewhat from the "black helicopter set" too, but those black helicopters will be owned by private military corporations, receiving government contracts, as they do now.
In Dr. Tiller's practice he was treating women for fetal demise. That is the fetus was nothing more than a clump of dead cells and the only life in danger was that of the mother from sepsis and other complications. There was never going to be a baby. But they once again proved they are anti choice and not pro life at all, by not only opposing and obstructing the treatment of the mother but murdering the doctor.
What gives me great pleasure, however, is the fact that so many people on here (and elsewhere) have expressed with eloquence and thoughtful argument how utterly wrong these people are. There were only 600 people from a nation of 350 million who attended this stupid conference. Sure, they are yelling louder than they ever did before. Sure they are yelling with more hatred and bigotry than they ever did before. But there are many fewer of them than there ever was before.
Someday, their kind will be extinct. Our society will continue to progress and they will be left behind, stewing in a corner with their hatred and guns. But they will eventually disappear and we will stop looking at the color of a person's skin. We will stop wondering if some man is sleeping with another man. We will stop hating for the sake of hating.
I have faith in the people of this country to do what's right. Hell, we elected Obama with a CLEAR majority....that was a good start.
Magical Thinking, an irrational belief that one can bring about a circumstance or event by thinking about it or wishing for it; normal in preschool children, it also occurs in schizophrenia and OCD.
This group is exhibiting the same behavior as a toddler: defending a closely held belief or want in spite of any subsequent information.
Before you dismiss magical thinking, or its those who use it so loudly, remember how our country arrived where it is today.
Oh boy. Paranoid rantings from the lunatic fringe.
TRIATHLON TO MISSPBG: Is that the very best you can do Democratic? The Usual Nancy type Pelosi name calling, your way or the highway.

Swim through an ocean of conspiracy theories, swallowing most that ocean in the process;
(Re)cycle white supremacism as "patriotism", because you need to "take back" America from all the people who aren't as white and ignorant as you;
Run in fear from your own shadow, while feigning bravado.
Oh, and thanks for demonstrating your superior intellect through your consistent misuse of apostrophes and your equally consistent misspelling of that challenging word, "too."
They ARE right about authoritarian regimes of allsorts banning guns: North Korea (commie), The PRC (commie, transitioning to corporatist), Burma (fascist), Singapore (corporatist/quasi-dictatorship) and Iran (theocratic/totalitarian) all ban, or severely restrict civilian ownership of firearms...and even airguns. Hitler confiscated firearms. He also hated hunting and loved animals, even FEEDING mice in his apartment. There goes the 'animal-lovers aren't misanthropes' argument.
I hope and pray that the rest of the country wakes up to the danger represented by these people. It is real.
In a free society, you can't just 'stomp them out', but extreme, destructive, hate-filled politics must be marginalized or democracy will have failed and the country will have failed.
So, it you don't like right wingnut politics, stand up and speak out.
And to think some of our elected officials go to these meetings. I hope no one votes for them next time around.

3 peas in a pod! Talk about hateful Anti American, Anti Constitution people!
So busted!! Your type are free to leave and live in your country of choice, but your still here???
If you hate the people here so much, you can leave at any time.
How about a little research into Obamas Valerie Jarrett and get back to us on your little freak out about non libs that actually Love America and the Constitution!? Do you even dare to uncover the corruption surrounding Obamas CLOSE advisers and Czars?
Bet your afraid to. You might find something that makes the Dems/Libs look really really bad.
Hey, guess who is going to make a ton of money from being a slum lord if the Olympics go to Chicago?? Yep, Obamas BEST Friends!
YOU are the hater here! You might try spell/grammar check. I bet if we did a deep look into Karen Hughes (Bush's gal), we would find all kinds of shit.
A hater here, for stating Facts?? oooo someone burst your little utopian bubble of the great hoper changer and his corrupt pals.
You do know that this is not being graded right? (just in case you did not know that.)
I wish I was gay, so I could have run my naked, socialized Canadian ass through the room & give them all cardiac arrests...
as it is, all I've got is the Evil Spector of American hobbled Universal HealthCare
OMG!
BURN THE WITCH!
Give those freaks half a second of your time, & they'll have the US starting another Civil War against 'UnAmericans Amongst US!' & then turning their corporations to eating your neighbours alive...
well, you've already been investing billions a year into killing sovereignty & social programs into 'American Privatized DREAMS' for your Southern & Northern Neighbours...
maybe this freak out at home will teach Americans to respect their neighbours?
I'm not holding out any faith in the "Hopium"...
well, at least it keeps you busy
...so you forget what atrocities you pay big buck$ to enable corporations to commit abroad...
just remember! these fuckers eventually remember its easier to exploit the neighbour 3' away rather than the ones they hide from you across sealed prison borders 3,000 Km away...
essentially, bullies are lazy bastards, or they'd be more creative & less focused on the creativity of abuse & propaganda
