*facepalm*

The corporate media is as dumbed down as large swaths of the American public. If there were an honest and critical media these clowns would be laughed out of the country.

I am sure that the outrageously two faced Congress people are certain that the MSM will not report their duplicitous behavior or, if some report does come out, they can sluff it off as the rotten liberal reporters.

There will be no change without some sort of “revolution” but I fear that there will not be sufficient politicos willing to try and change the current election system and so the march to the right will continue unabated.

It’s the same way the Teabagger Congresscritters rail against earmarks and then slip them into bills (e.g. Ron Paul): “My constituents might as well benefit, since the evil federal government is gonna spend this money anyway!”

Why not get on the gravy train of farm subsidies even if they are evil? Until they are outlawed, shouldn’t ‘good people’ get them?

Feature, not bug.

The Great Republic Leader, Limpy Limbaugh, promised to leave the country if health care reform passed. It did. He’s still here. There’s no connection between what is said and what is done. The words are meant just to herd the little people.

They also love them some welfare health care but not to share. “If we share with you, there’s not enough Medicare for me.”

Handout – Handjob

*Tomato – Toe-mah-toe* …

I was surprised that the Costa Rican government never weighed in (pun intended) on whether they wanted Limpdick sponging off of their health care system.

Or annoying their young women.

Anyone see “farm subsidies” mentioned in the Constitution?

No, me neither. Strict constructionism for thee, not for me.

Here is a link to information that could form the basis of a follow-up article ridiculing the apparent hypocrisy of people firmly ensconced on the ‘left,’ like Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winner (Economics) cum political columnist. http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2010/04/02/memo-to-paul-krugman-and-rep-van-hollen/

You can point out hypocrisy and contradiction til the cows come home, it will never make a difference. People’s beliefs aren’t based on reason. And that goes double for ultra right wingers, some of whom are in my family. They’ll believe five contradictory, hypocritical things and three crazy myths before you even get up in the morning. They all collect social security and even work for the federal government while decrying “entitlement” programs and government spending. Solely listening to right wing news certainly doesn’t help but it’s way beyond that.

My friend Jim Fogarty nailed town the teabaggers in two paragraphs.

It’s a movement that wraps itself in ignorance. It’s about fear and distaste of the educated. It’s people who think Science is an “opinion.” It’s the rabid fear-mongering and shameless demonization of anyone they disagree with.

There may be some valid ideas and beefs, but once you start throwing out “Communist”, “Nazi” (how could anyone be BOTH??!?!) or comparing the President to Timothy McVeigh, you’ve lost the debate. Bye. Thanks for playing. Come back and try and again when you’ve taken care of that frothing at the mouth problem.

I wish I could have put it that well.

Or their pharmacists.

Sorry to be redundant, BT, I just noticed the photo on this post. . .perfect.

For the right-wing crowd, subsidies for 32 million Americans with no health insurance is outrageous, but subsidies for conservative farmers is not an issue “at all.”

This should say everything. Stupid is the understatment of all times. How anything they say isn’t dismissed out of hand boggles the mind.

Actually I thought I read something. They banned him or some such thing. I will try to locate the article I read.

And the rubes are lapping it up.

Don’t you realize that it’s insulting to call these morans rubes?

REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM 1956
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=25838

“The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities.”

“In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people’s money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative.”

“[T]he purpose of the Republican Party is to establish and maintain a peaceful world and build at home a dynamic prosperity in which every citizen fairly shares.”

“We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because of race, creed or color, may know the blessings of our free land.”

“We believe that basic to governmental integrity are unimpeachable ethical standards and irreproachable personal conduct by all people in government. We shall continue our insistence on honesty as an indispensable requirement of public service. We shall continue to root out corruption whenever and wherever it appears.”

“We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people.”

Amazing. They were liberal socialists!

Does this mean that the D’s have “lost the debate”?

The US Const. never once mentions farm subsidies, no not once. Who knew we had socialist farming in this country? Time to end the subsidies, no more government socialism for farmers. Stop taking my tax dollars and transferring wealth from me to farmers. For that matter stop all government programs and subsidies to the Tea Party.

Jane has a fresh cross-post up: I Wonder What Sarah Palin Thinks About Pot

I BLAME the Dim-0-Diaper-P00Pers for this stupidity, NOT the lying, stealing fascists.

Lying stealing aristocrats have existed since there was an agricultural surplus to steal to support their aristocrat lives. The latest variant is these lying stealing fascists.

EVERY election cycle Dims spend billions of dollars. Madison Ave & Hollywood are filled with ‘creative’ types celling us cigarettes and cyallis – there is the money AND the talent to sell the truth.

The fascists gotta lie about the truths of their policies, and,
The Dim-O-Diaper-P00pers can’t sell the truth …?

There are several reasons for this bullshit:

1. our dim-o-shits are sell outs, politically incompetent, or a mix of both, EXCEPT when it comes to staying in charge AND making excuses.

2. we the peeee-ons keep supporting fucking sell outs and fucking incompetents!!!

this year, do NOT vote sell out.

make sure you vote, just do NOT vote sell out.

rmm.

Someone needs to look into this militia threat..

British provocations targeted to build an atmosphere for the assassination of President Barack Obama have escalated around plans to bring thousands of militia members to Washington, D.C. for an “armed protest march” on April 19th. And the two leaders of this provocation—Mike Vanderboegh and Larry Pratt—are both “Made in Britain” militia leaders linked to British Intelligence operator Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, who led the “Assault on the Presidency” against President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.

In the last few days, Larry Pratt, head of a complex of organizations all located at the same address in Springfield, Virginia—”Gun Owners of America,” the “English First” organization, and the “Committee for the Protection of the Family Foundation”— became a co-sponsor of 15-year British agent Vanderboegh’s call for the armed march, where “patriots” are urged to bring their firearms of all kinds, including assault weapons. In the 1980s, Pratt created “militia” groups as arms of the Bush/Oliver North/Project Democracy Iran-Contra secret government apparatus. In the 1990s, Pratt was one of Evans-Pritchard’s favorite right wing thugs used against immigrants, and to whip up deluded militia men against President Bill Clinton.

this is just a law enforcement problem – yeah, a lot of them are nuts, and a lot of them are dangerous BUT few of them could really pull off Twin Towers / Oklahoma City style destruction –

and, sure, there are a lot of right wingers in the military … duh … BUT – to think that some company or regiment of the 82nd airborn or 3rd Infantry Division or the USMC is gonna start taking orders from koo-koos in camos who ordered their general suit off of warlord.com – all the stooges stupified by the stupor bowl is a bigger threat.

rmm.

or they may not see any other option?

There are very very few Tim McVeighs running around.

Many more Bob Kerrey (Nebraska) types

and foremost, if we’re going to generalize, these people believe in the Constitution and the rule of law.

that doesn’t mean we stop watching our six

Do you mean any other option besides frothing at the mouth?
