QUOTE OF THE DAY: 
GLENN BECK AT CPAC 2010:
‘Hello, my name is the Republican Party, and I’ve got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government…I’m addicted to spending and I just don’t want to spend today.’

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960

Dick Cheney when he was vice president of the United States had his own assassination squad. Apparently he never used it. Uh ha. And then there was the time when ole Dickey admitted he signed off on the torturing of people. Dickey kind of likes the idea of killing and torturing people. Hell, his best buddy in the whole entire world, Donald Rumsfeld, was torturing whistleblowers over in Iraq too and I don’t ever remember ole Dickey saying anything about this which tells me he was fine with what Rummy was doing.
Anyway…
Enter Liz Cheney (the devil spawn of ole Dickey) and Jihad Jane. Two peas in a pod these two are! I can’t tell them apart, can you?
 
Let’s see here….Liz Cheney is protecting her war criminal father and she thinks the Justice Department’s lawyers should DROP DEAD (code for, “My Daddy will kill you!”) and sees the U.S. Constitution like George Bush did as just a goddamn piece of paper. And then there’s Jihad Jane who also doesn’t care about what the U.S. Constitution says and wants to take up arms and kill those who don’t see it like al-Qaeda (Dick Cheney’s own death squad I believe!) does! See? I think they’re the same person or Liz Cheney has Jihad Jane on the payroll! What do you think?
I suppose it doesn’t matter because John Patrick Bedell decided to terrorize the Pentagon by getting in his car in California and driving across the country with the intention of killing people. He’s a terrorist. Yes, he may have a history of mental illness, but he knew enough to make a plan with the end result being people dead via his own hand!
Bedell’s own online rants show he was pro-marijuana, a gun owner, anti-government, pro-individual-property-rights, he hated George W. Bush, and he was a 9/11 Truther (meaning he questioned the role of our government in the events of that day). Does this make him a lefty in your eyes? It could, but as Little Green Footballs points out…..he appears to be more of a Ron Paul supporter, you know, a Libertarian. Hell, Bedell could also be considered a Glenn Beck supporter for all the same reasons, and as we know, Beck has said he’s a Libertarian on the air many times. He’s proud of this fact. The issues Bedell rallied for and against are the things Paul and Beck also rally for and against.
Does labeling him a 9/11 Truther mean he’s really a left wing extremist? No, because there are many republicans in our nation too who have questioned the events of 9/11. I myself am one who has questioned 9/11 and I believe that the Bush Regime either allowed 9/11 to happen (remember, there wasn’t any interruption of the events that day! It went very smoothly! Key people on that morning were working their first day of their new job. How convenient!) or had some part in it. Just recently in the Texan republican primary for governor, Debra Medina (the Tea Party candidate) was asked by Glenn Beck on his radio show if she was a 9/11 Truther. Medina quickly stated that there are lots of questions surrounding that day and the people of this country have a right to ask them. See? Even a Tea Partier can make sense every once in a while! We can question our government and it doesn’t make you a loony either. Medina’s response caused an uproar and it may have had something to do with her losing in the primary (she’s not giving up by the way), but the point of bringing her up is to show that questioning the events of 9/11 and wondering aloud if our government was involved or allowed it to happen for power, control, greed, and financial gain is an American thing. It can’t be labeled left or right because many Americans do question what the hell it was we witnessed that horrific morning.
By the way, Glenn Beck talked about the Pentagon shooter yesterday morning on his radio program. He was quick to label Bedell as a lefty 9/11 Truther. I swear he did that to protect himself. He knows he’s woken the right wing crazies in our nation and is now trying to remove any blame he may have from himself. Beck is truly dangerous, because unlike Van Jones who proclaimed himself a Commie back in the 1990’s after the Rodney King trial, Beck is the one who has two national microphones a day to spew his Mormon-Libertarian-Militia rants to millions of people! Van Jones? He had no power at all. See the difference? I do.
So, what do you think about Bedell? Is he a lefty or a righty or does it not matter?

You can’t make this shit up! Yes, you read the title of this post correctly. California state Senator Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) hates the gays and has spent many years of his career lambasting them. Well, turns out ole Ashburn himself is gay, loves the gays, and was only going after the gays all these years because he was hoping nobody would suspect he was gay! See? It’s all making sense now…
(hat tip to Grant in Houston once again for sending me the link to this HIGH-sterical article!)
Think Progress has a short but sweet post up about how Sen. John Cornyn of Texas completely supported Bunning’s obstruction to allow unemployment benefits for Americans who after a year and a half still can’t find a job, but is now trying to backtrack himself when he found his skirt up over his shoulders and he wasn’t wearing any undies! Completely exposed for the right wing American-hater he is! These two Fat Cats were so impressed with each other with their rants against Americans….well….until the backlash against Bunning and the republic party started. For good reason too! The republic party only cares about the well-being and financial stability of the CEO’s of America’s corporations. That’s it. That is all they care about! When you have ONE republican Senator who is most likely a millionaire obstructing a bill that will extend unemployment benefits (how much are these weekly checks? I bet Bunning & Cornyn make this amount within the first 15 minutes of every day!) to average Americans who are struggling themselves to keep their families and lives afloat, you know damn well that ONE republican senator is speaking for the whole entire republican party, because that is the ideology of this political party! The fact that Cornyn is now backtracking on his words does not mean the republic party has suddenly found a soul. They haven’t! The republic party has no soul and never will. The End.
Not only is Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky holding a gun to the heads of Americans who are unemployed by being the only republican (and only Senator!) in the Senate to object to extending benefits, but Mr. Money Bags Insane Monopoly Banker Conservative has also decided to tell the schmucky Americans that he owns the elevators in the Senate building and decided to give another American the middle finger when he was asked to explain his vote. Think Progress has the video if you’re interested in watching a wealthy conservative in action.
Coincidentally, here’s how Sen. Jim Bunning reacts to the “real victims” of American society, you know, the wealthy right wingers who are proud of Bunning for also blocking COBRA payments, the transportation sector, among other bullshit…
See the difference? I do!
I have to work today, but will be watching all day! Woohoo! Use this post to live blog what you’re seeing and hearing. You should be able to live-stream it on CSPAN-ORG if you don’t have cable.
I don’t expect President Obama to be perfect today, but I cannot wait to see how the republicans treat him! The last time this kind of meeting was held the republicans said they would be on their best behavior and they were. Today? Not sure! As pointed out by Media Matters, Rush Limbaugh and other knuckle draggers have figured out that this is a trap for the republicans and we all know how cornered dogs act! Should be very entertaining, because for the last few months the republicans have been screaming that they ‘weren’t included in the health care debate’, have whined that the ‘health care reform bill is too long!’, and they said many times that they wanted to sit down with the President to have him hear their views and ideas on health care. Well, tah dah! Here we are! Another public meeting for Americans to watch and observe! We know the republicans have been included in the health care debate all along (they have many amendments!) and we know that as early as yesterday John Boner was bitching that Obama’s 11-page outline was too small, and now the republicans will have a second chance to publicly state their ideas and views on health care reform, but none of this means the republicans won’t bitch and complain about something! What the republicans bitch about today will be laughable! Make sure you have a note pad with ya today as you watch. 
If Rep. John Boehner shows up sober to Thursday’s Health Care Summit it would be an absolute shocker, because honestly, Boner right now is really trying to distance himself from President Obama’s 6-Hour-Slaughter. Boner has always been about the length of the Democrat’s health care bill saying it’s too damn long for any drunk guy to read with one eye open, so when President Obama provided an eleven page outline for Boner to read, he now says it’s too damn short (not enough drinking time between chapters now apparently!)!
Buck up Boner! You can do it!!!!! LOL
The republicans are control freaks, so it wasn’t surprising to read that the republicans really want to control the seating arrangement for Thursday, because well, you know, they really don’t want a lot of face time for the Democrat’s to use in their commercials during the 2010 mid-term election!
The Washington Post explains the seating catastrophe:
An intense argument has been raging ahead of Thursday’s health-care summit: Will President Obama and members of Congress sit around a U-shaped table or a round one?
Seat assignments are no small matter. The event is scheduled to be televised live for nearly six hours, and its outcome could be shaped by whoever gains command of the room — or at least appears to from the vantage point of the four television cameras placed in carefully negotiated spots.
To that end, White House officials have been tussling with Republicans, and the television networks, over the arrangement of the room at Blair House, across the street from the White House.
The initial plan called for Obama and Vice President Biden to sit at the head of a U-shaped table, with some lawmakers seated in front of them like an audience. But Republicans balked and the idea was scrapped. On Tuesday, a White House official said the participants will be seated at tables in a “hollow square setup” — an arrangement Republicans approved of, they said, because it would put them on even footing with the president.
[...]
“It’s like the Vietnam peace talks,” said longtime reporter Ann Compton of ABC News, whose network was part of the negotiations over the number and location of cameras. “They spent more time arguing about the shape of the table than anything else.”
Think Progress pointed out last night that Rep. John Boehner to show his manhood and to show how he has a grasp on republican control of all things far and wide has announced that the republicans will ‘crash the party’ this Thursday giving the impression to their neck drooling teabaggers that they were not invited in the first place. See? I’m telling you….the republicans are running out of oxygen and they’re just grasping at anything right now to save themselves from embarrassment!
I don’t know about you but I expect Boner to show up Thursday drunk with his tie pulled loose and his hair messed up! Should be fun to watch and I plan to.
Here’s a little tune for the republicans…
Sarah Palin is praying for a new Dolce and Gabbana handbag…
Okay, people this is going to be a shocker but it’s the right wing Baptist ministers in the South who are praying to g-d today that President Obama is ‘taken out by g-d’! See? I knew you wouldn’t be shocked!
From The Daily Beast (emphasis mine):
Praying for President Obama’s death has become a sick cottage industry for some evangelicals on the lunatic fringe. Bumper stickers, T-shirts, and teddy bears are sold with the wholesome-sounding slogan “Pray for Obama” but tagged with the more troublesome “Psalm 109:8”—which reads “May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership” followed by “May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.”
[...]
Pastor Wiley Drake kicked off this Presidents’ Day Weekend with an email blast to his supporters saying “Imprecatory Prayer is now our DUTY” and announcing a daily teleconference call to advance the cause. Drake has been an enthusiastic advocate of imprecatory prayer since he announced that God answered his call with the murder of Kansas abortion clinic doctor George Tiller in church last May. “George Tiller was far greater in his atrocities than Adolf Hitler,” Drake said at the time, “so I am happy. I am glad that he is dead.” This emboldened him to add “the usurper that is in the White House … B. Hussein Obama” to the list said in his church on Sundays.
In Pastor Drake’s own vicious vile ungodly words: “I’m known as a birther, you know. I don’t believe Obama was born in this country. He’s an illegal alien and so forth,” Wiley told me, matter-of-factly. “And so I began to pray what the Bible teaches us to pray and that is imprecatory prayer. An imprecatory prayer is very strong. Imprecatory prayer in Psalms 109, for example, says if you have an evil leader above you, you pray that Satan will stand by his side and you ask God to make his children fatherless and his wife a widow and that his time in office be short… Other Psalms say when they speak evil, God will break out their teeth and when they run to do destruction God will break their legs.”
What a nice man. And we’re to believe these are the people Jesus loves? What if g-d sees these bastards as the ones who should be fatherless because they’re spreading Satan’s killing lust? Huh? Do these bastards ever think of that? Oh wait! They don’t think. They’re robots who every Sunday brainwash their followers to believe their interpretation of the bible after years of being brainwashed themselves. See? The children in these churches will grow up to do the same thing to their kids. Hate breeds very quickly! It’s peace, love, and respect that does not. Sad.
I am working today as usual, but that’s okay, I’m going to pray that President Obama continues to drive the right wing crazy while asking g-d to take out the right wing in the rapture to leave the whole entire planet to us. See? As an Atheist I will be praying all day on President’s Day! Thanks Pastor Drake!
Here’s the top part of Rep. John Boner’s mailing to the carefully chosen republican leaders across America (click for larger view):
(YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE ‘CENSUS’ FORM BY CLICKING HERE — pdf warning)
Now, you and I know the difference between a real U.S. Census form and a fake one, but will the right wingers who get this form know the difference?
How many of these ‘republican leaders’ will believe they’ve filled out the real Census form and when the real one is mailed to them in March won’t fill out the form because they believed they already did? Seriously, the republicans in our country are the uneducated Americans! Though, we all feel bad for them for this reason….it will not be funny if they don’t complete their American duty of filling out the U.S. Census form because their leaders duped and deceived them. This tactic reminds me of my local Selectboard members where we had 3 slimeballs on it up until last week when we kicked two of the slimeballs off in two separate Recall Elections. A week before the Recall Elections, one of the slimeballs up on the chopping block decided to give his ‘resignation’ to dupe voters in my town that he’s gone so there’s no reason to vote him out. Of course, the other two slimeballs on the Board that night didn’t move to legally accept the resignation, so in essence, the Slimeball was not officially resigned, but was hoping no one would notice! Well, myself and others weren’t fooled by this asshole, so we used every avenue we could to get the word out to still vote the bastard out by checking ‘yes’ next to his name. IT WORKED. He’s officially gone now.
The U.S. Constitution demands a census of the nation be done every 10 years. It’s now obvious the right wingers of America continue to spit on the Constitution by using deceitful practices! What other techniques will the republican slimeballs resort to under John Boner’s direction?
Too funny. I’m telling ya….it’s time for ole Sarah to go back to the “How To Be A Smart Teabagging Conservative 101″ class with Dick Cheney, Dick Armey, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and all her other handlers, because the woman after a year of intense studying can’t even remember the three key points they want her to make every time she opens her mouth, which is: ENERGY, TAX CUTS, LIFT AMERICAN SPIRITS!
Last night during the Teabagger’s Debate in Nashville, Tennessee, she wrote on her hand the 3 key points, but made a mistake. She wrote down “BUDGET” instead of TAX CUTS, and scribbled out “BUDGET” on her hand!…..
DailyKos provides one of many pictures across the Internet showing how Sarah can’t even write down the correct words the first time around and has to scribble out her mistake:
And thanks to Think Progress, we get to see Sarah the Cheater on the following video in action looking at her hand during the debate, because after a year of training and then writing down these three key points on her hand, she still can’t remember what she’s supposed to say!…
For $100,000 this is what her fans got to see! Of course, they will never believe she would cheat, because in their mind she is the Goddess Of All Truths and is married to Scott Brown the Messiah! See? Idiots.
