And my friends, this is a man who really gets flawed decision making … for example his choice of a running mate in 2008 …

Democrat Pushed to Ground by Police at GOP Event
“We the People” are not allowed to descent against Republicans or Tea Party candidates? Apparently not.

What are these officers thinking?
Can you say excessive force?
Can you say law suit?
Can you say you’re next career will be as a mall cop?
Violent Revolution is on the Table?

If Tea Party members don’t want to be blamed for the speech, views or actions of the few, than those of us who do not support the Tea Party movement need to hear you denouncing those lunatic few in newspapers, on TV, on radio talk shows etc. If you’re going to insist – with FOX News – that all terrorists are Muslim, than by the same logic, we get to insist that all political lunatics are Tea Party members.
The Tea Party is being branded as a bunch of nut jobs threatening the very Constitution it claims to love. Political descent as an American is one thing, threatening opened rebellion if you don’t get what you want is another. And unfortunately, Pastor Broden’s is not just one extremist view, we’ve all seen the signs at rallies, and heard Sharon Angle, Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell and many other “Tea Party” nominees make similar statements. We’ve seen the gun toting Tea party members at rallies, and watched as a Tea Party nominated candidate for the United States Senate had his private security force arrest a journalist for asking questions he didn’t like. These are signs of a group threatening to rebel, and wanting to overthrow the very fabric of our Republic, and it is troubling.
When the movement uses slogans like “We’re going to take our country back” coupled with images of people carrying automatic weapons, and its candidates saying that “Violent revolution is on the table” than large numbers of people who are associated with the Tea Party, but who disagree with the rhetoric, need to speak out; otherwise you may find yourselves being found guilty by association. After all, members of your group have been saying the President is guilty by association to all kinds of people and causes, so Tea Party members may find the same to be true. What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.
Prof Beck Gets it Wrong. Again.
First, we have a slight math issue. 35% + 33% + 33% = 101%
Second, actual numbers are, 55 million Republicans, 72 million Democrats and 42 million Independents. That equals “25 percent independents now, 32 percent Republican and 43% Democrat.”
Third, “Houston we have a problem,” either Beck is ignorant to what the real numbers are, which is bad enough, or he is deliberately skewing the numbers to play to his base. Makes you wonder what else he is just making up, or lying about, as he goes along.
As Senator Moynihan used to say, “You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.”
Some People Are Just Born to Be Slaves?
Today (8 Oct 10) I heard Rush say, and I’m not making this up, “Some people are just born to be slaves.”
I would love to be able to ask, “And who would that be Mr. Limbaugh?”
And Rush, would huff and puff for a minute, maybe smack his lips a little, and probably say something like, “Well, you know … like the Jews and the Blacks.”
I mean, what other groups could Rush be referring to? Maybe the illegal aliens working for Meg Whitman and Lou Dobbs?
Today Rush also said, “We ( meaning men) should acknowledge the “role of attractive women to bring us beer and wear sexy clothes while we watch” the NFL.
Seriously? Republican women listen to this and think it’s OK? This is talk straight out of, oh I don’t know? Straight out of some small town in the middle of Missouri? This isn’t comedy folks. This isn’t some act Rush puts on. He is a small town southern racist and sexist.
Rush further claimed, “I don’t know of any Republican attacks” on President Obama.
Again, seriously?
My only conclusion is Rush needs his Oxycontin induced ocular implants checked.
He – Limbaugh – regularly – as in daily – attacks the President. Hannity does it daily. Boehner does it constantly. Palin does it every time she opens her mouth. Newt, McCain, shall I go on? Rush is a liar, and unfortunately there are great groups of uneducated, unwashed masses of Tea Party far right conservatives who hang on his every word. But, fortunately, they account for a far smaller sampling of the GOP than Limbaugh will ever admit. Let’s see, on a good day, 12 million listeners out of roughly 55 million Republicans = 21%. Less than 1/4.
We Bought Alaska in the 1950s?
Too bad we bought Alaska in 1867. But what’s a hundred years between friends?
Political Ranting
Rant #1: Wow, really? In 2010 we are still having GOP candidates promising to make abortion completely unavailable to women, no matter what?
If you’re raped and become pregnant, too bad, you will carry the baby!
If you’re pregnant and might die if you carry the baby to term, too bad, you will carry the baby!
Yo, religious right, Christian Taliban Candidates, wake up! This is not something that the government should decide. Abortion is a viable option under certain circumstances, and each woman should have the right to make those hard choices. Not Ken Buck or Sharron Engle, and definitely not Sarah Palin.
Rant #2: Our country has real problems, and what are GOP candidates focusing on? Gays in the military, abortion, and tax cuts for the wealthy, all while voting against bills to increase pay and allowances to troops, whom they claim to honor and support.
Personally, I don’t care if the troop next to me is gay. I’m tired of guys like Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Riley etc making this an issue. By-the-way, none of these so-called “great Americans” could ever take the time to serve, even though they “claim to love America”.
Abortion is established federal law. Get over it already. While I personally think its use as birth control is inexcusable in 21st century America – it is a viable choice for many other reasons. Maybe the GOP should spend more time vetting its so-called “family values” candidates and spend less time worrying about gays serving in the military and women having abortions.
Rant #3: Enough with all the “birther” crap. He was born in the United States. Read a frickin map and you’ll see that Hawaii is one of our states. Has been since, oh I don’t know, 1959?
He is a Christian, and so what if he was a Muslim! THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS STANDARD FOR HOLDING OFFICE HERE! This is the United States, a Republic, not some far right wing Judeo-Christian Theocratic Talibanistic Never-Land!
Rant #4: He has not been spitting on the Constitution! He is not a communist! He is not deliberately destroying our country! Would you stop, take a breath, and try – as hard as it may be – to think about what the heck you’re saying? Oh wait, I guess thinking has been taken out of the political landscape ever since Rush, Hannity, et al came along.
Rant #5: Stop claiming you’re going to “take the country back”. News Flash! It hasn’t gone anywhere! Your candidate got his butt kicked. Get over it! If one party, either one, controlled the government all the time, we’d be in a dictatorship quicker than you could say, “put the kettle on.”
Stop saying you’re going to employ your Second Amendment rights to fix things. You may think you’re being cleaver, but if you continue to talk like this, people are going to get hurt, and people are going die. Talking of rebelling against a freely elected government is not patriotic. It’s ignorant.
Because you go out “shootin” with your buds, and dress in fatigues playing” militia does not in any way, shape or fashion make you anywhere near an equal for the United States Military.
Stop using phrases like, “time to reload”, and “put them in our sights” or “in the breach”. That is talk that is dangerous and irresponsible and beneath contempt as Americans.
GOP Candidate has Higher Security Clearance than the President?
GOP Candidate for the Florida 22nd Congressional District ex-Army LTC Allen West who resigned his commission from the Army while facing a Court Martial on charges he had threatened to kill a prisoner in his custody, who had already been beaten by his men, claims he has a higher security clearance than President Obama could obtain?
First, hold everything hero. You had a “secret” clearance while serving in the Army. The security clearance every commissioned officer in the Army has to be able to have – and maintain – in order to serve. It’s not like you had super-duper-secret, James Bond license-to-kill authority there John Wayne.
Second, no one Sparky has a higher security clearance – in spite of Hollywood movie claims to the contrary – than the Commander-in-Chief.
Second, when Mr. West resigned his commission, the reason for his clearance no longer existed, and co0nsidering the circumstances under which he resigned, probably he was no longer in possession of his clearance when he “voluntarily retired”.
Third, again considering the circumstances under which you “left” the Army, you probably couldn’t get a clearance now to change the toilet paper in the men’s room.
