“Build a great big large fence, 150 or 100 miles long, put all the lesbians in there, fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals. And have that fence electrified till they can’t get out.” — Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church, 3283 Providence Mill Rd, Maiden, NC 28650, describing his genius plan for wiping out the homos. This is what American Christian evangelicals preach on Sundays: politics and hate.

“On some key issues, like Iran, Romney and his team are to the right of Bush. Romney’s embrace of the neoconservative cause—even if done cynically to woo the right—could turn into a policy nightmare if he becomes president.” —

Ari Berman, writing for the Nation in Mitt Romney’s Neocon War Cabinet

McConnell and Boehner: (1) backed the Bush/Cheney agenda that added $5 trillion to the debt; (2) decided they no longer liked raising the debt ceiling; (3) held the nation hostage, threatening to hurt the country on purpose unless they got their way; and (4) rejected a White House offer to reduce the debt by $4 trillion.


Nothing says ‘grown-up behavior’ like the antics of an elementary schoolyard bully.

From “Adults don’t hold the nation hostage” by Steve Benen, who closes the article with: GOP leaders aren’t just comfortable deliberately holding the country hostage, they’re lacking in self-awareness, seeing themselves as responsible ‘adults’ who aren’t doing anything wrong.”

UGH

James Madison would be horrified by the right wing teabaggers (a.k.a. the Republican base, rebranded).  His message to them would be: “No, this is not a Christian country. Your Biblical interpretation is for you and you alone to follow. It does not supercede the Constitution nor the rights of others.”

This is the picture of George Zimmerman taken the night of the shooting. There is NO FUCKIN’ WAY his nose was broken like he, his father and lawyer(s) have claimed. If you have a broken nose, your nose swells up like crazy and you have black eyes. Ask any doctor or nurse.

A landslide can’t be stolen by the GOP and Diebold.  VOTE!

“I’m not familiar precisely with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said. Whatever it was.” —

Mitt Romney, on why he’s defending… something. (via theatlantic)

Okay, that’s ridiculous. But…we’ve totally been there. Pretty much sums up his entire campaign

I know there’s never logic in GOP legislation, but you can usually follow the money

So how does that explain exempting Native Americans from protection in their ridiculous version of the Violence Against Women bill? 

“Of course the GOP calls Obama a “black metrosexual Abe Lincoln” - because no modern Republican would free the slaves, knows how to dress, or has a real tan.” — John Fugelsang

Conservative opposition also to:

Fuck Joe Ricketts, founder of TD Ameritrade -

A conservative super PAC has penned a $10 million campaign called “The Defeat of Barack Hussein Obama: The Ricketts Plan to End His Spending for Good.” The PAC, funded by Ricketts, suggested hiring as a spokesman an “extremely literate conservative African-American” who can argue that Mr. Obama misled the nation by presenting himself as what the proposal calls a “metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln.”

They’re going back to Reverend Jeremiah Wright and actually believe calling Obama ‘black Abe Lincoln’ will work for them???? Bring it on, assholes.

UPDATE: Apparently Ricketts is another whiney conservative millionaire (as in VanderSloot) who backpedals and whines when he’s caught.
