WTF exemplified

A voice at the table:

Forget about Santorum's response to the woman's rant--by now we should all be more than accustomed to republicans cozying up to their tea party supporters.  Listen to the woman herself--Obama the communist, Obama the tyrant, republicans should have him removed from office (all of which is familiar) and then the part about Obama trying to set off a nuclear device in Charleston.  But most of all, it's the sheer and utter hatred for Obama--who is, by the way, a very decent man who has carried a nation through a very difficult time with nothing but class and courage and done it very well.

This woman has a vote, and I'm sorry, but she is completely and totally fucking certifiable.

And this episode personifies every single fucking reason why we need to defeat republicans in 2016.

The truth will out

You know, for all the republican's comparisons of President Obama to Hitler, after reviewing this list of the fourteen characteristics of fascism...it sure seems fascism's traits are a hell of a lot closer to the republican playbook than ours.  A hell of a lot closer.

Just sayin'.

A heartbeat away

After a whopping year and a half as a Senator, Marco Rubio--mind you, that's only a year and a half more as a Senator than I have, and I, at the very least, have a brain--has decried that President Obama is the most divisive figure in recent American history.

Let me see...off the top of my head...Ronald Reagan for starting the class war that the poor and middle class have been losing for the last thirty years, Newt Gingrich and his Contract with (Corporate) America and impeachment of President Clinton, Lee Atwater and his racist ads, Karl Rove for just about everything he's done politically, George W. Bush and the politicization of 9/11, and Mitch McConnell for declaring his prime job to be defeating Obama in 2012.

I have many problems with President Obama, but the man has probably been the least divisive President in my lifetime.  His administration has been corruption free (despite republicans best efforts to drum up bullshit like Solyndra), he's bent over backward to work in a bipartisan fashion which has hurt him (and us) a lot more than it's helped, he's a model family man, and quite frankly, is a more decent human being than any republican on the planet.  The republican party has shown time and again that their only goal in Obama's Presidency is to be as divisive as they can be, the American public be damned.

Rubio?  The only thing he's proven in a year and half is that he's been a "Senator" is that he's far too ignorant to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Who are the idiots?

As I was driving the Beautiful Boy home from school yesterday, I happened to drive past a booth on a sidewalk off the main drive with a group of clowns advocating the impeachment of President Obama.  They were asking drivers to stop to impeach President Obama, and their makeshift booth had a picture hanging off the side with pictures of numerous Democrats with the word "Idiots" above their photos.

I relate this because to my knowledge, President Obama has committed no acts that could lead to his impeachment.  Trust me, as hated as he is, and after watching republicans try to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about a blow job to protect his family, I am utterly certain that if republicans in the House had any reason to impeach Obama, they would have already.  Second, the last time I checked, Presidential impeachments begin in the House, and all the signatures in America (a bit unlikely) are not reason to impeach a President.

But the truly moronic facet of their impeachment drive is that even if they were capable of getting the House to start impeachment proceedings, it's highly unlikely at this point they'd be concluded by the elections in November, and thus republicans, you know, those of the austerity bent, would end up spending millions of taxpayer dollars for an outcome that could be reached with a Willard Romney victory.  I mean, don't you think their time would be better spent trying to get Willard elected?

Idiots, indeed.

Pure Michigan

First, we have some numbnuts in Grand Rapids posting flyers on parking meters featuring President Obama next to a swastika and proclaiming that a new holocaust is coming.

Second, we have Pam Geller's "Human Rights Conference" in Dearborn which purports to be a meeting to help Muslim women, but in reality is an anti-Islam rally which refuse admittance to Muslim women seeking to refute the conference's claims.

Because you know, nothing attracts talent to a state, nothing makes its young people want to stay here after graduating college, like lunacy, idiocy, and bigotry.

Our new state motto:  We're Just Like Mississippi (Only Colder).  We're all so proud.
