Dare to mention climate change? Consider yourself purged.

Christian businesses should have more rights than secular businesses.
Just curious. Is their any other major news organization (so-called) in America where being an idiotic racist gets you a fucking job?

Dick Cheney says Obama is the worst president in his lifetime. Words fail me.
Glenn Beck says he’s done with the Republican Party.

Have the Republicans actually become too crazy, even for Glenn Beck?
“They set us up. Enough is enough. They’re torpedoing the Constitution and they’re doing it knowingly. They’re taking on people like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and they are torpedoing them. Knowingly.”
I reckon not.
Jeb!, the smart one
Turns out, Jesus had it all wrong, didn’t know shit about managing God’s money.
Filty rich Fox Christian wingnut, “The left fringe has a real agenda, and the agenda is to give the government more power and the government more control,” he opined. “And in order to do that, they are spreading three really huge myths out there, that wealth is evil, that the little man is trapped and can’t get ahead. And of course, they are continuing to spread this wealth inequality message, which has also got faulty logic to it because if you work harder, you should make more.”
“And we technically don’t own anything, those of us that are Christ followers,” he continued. “We technically manage it for God, and for his glory.”
Brian Kilmeade, “Moses was rich, I believe. I haven’t seen his account. But that’s according to people that were there. And he was a pretty popular guy that we look up to.”

Republicans are stupid, hate-filled morons item #84,613,034:
A group of New Hampshire fourth graders got a perhaps too-accurate lesson in the cutthroat world of politics on Thursday.
According to NH1.com, fourth grade teacher James Cutting from the Lincoln Akerman School in Hampton Falls took his students to the New Hampshire State House as part of a lesson plan showing how a bill becomes a law.
Cutting’s students sponsored a bill of their own, moving to make the Red Tail Hawk New Hampshire’s official State Raptor.
Republican lawmakers, however, quickly showed that there is no legislative matter too trivial or innocuous for them to use as a chance to politically grandstand.
After the measure passed the Environment and Agriculture Committee with a majority vote, Republicans on the House floor took exception to its provisions.
Rep. Warren Groen (R) chose to use the moment to attack women’s reproductive freedom, saying, “It grasps them with its talons then uses its razor sharp beak to basically tear it apart limb by limb, and I guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as a much better mascot for Planned Parenthood.”
Rep. John Burt objected to the students’ proposal because he thinks there are already too many laws.
“Bottom line, if we keep bringing more of these bills, and bills, and bills forward that really I think we shouldn’t have in front of us, we’ll be picking a state hot dog next,” Burt insisted.
As the children watched from the House Gallery, the bill was voted down in a 133-to-160 vote.
There is no republican anywhere in existence that has the slightest interest in governance. They are Bolsheviks.
“They are Bolsheviks.”
I’d say they’re pretty far from being Bolsheviks. Maybe “conservative zealots” might be more appropriate.
@10- from a strictly historical perspective, comparing Teabaggers to Bolsheviks is a good analogy. From a strictly political perspective, yes, it sounds odd.
In 1898, Russian Marxists had organised the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party; this was illegal in Russia itself, as where all political parties . A congress was organised, but had only nine socialist attendees at most, and these were quickly arrested. In 1903, the Party held a second congress to debate events and actions with just over fifty people. Here Lenin argued for a party composed only of professional revolutionaries, to give the movement a core of experts rather than a mass of amateurs; he was opposed by a faction led by L. Martov, which wanted a model of mass membership like other, western European social-democratic parties.
The result was a division between the two camps. Lenin and his supporters gained a majority on the central committee and, even though it was only a temporary majority and his faction was firmly in the minority, they took for themselves the name Bolshevik, meaning ‘Those of the Majority. Their opponents, the faction led by Martov, thus became known as Mensheviks, ‘those of the Minority’, despite being the overall larger faction.
@11,
Sounds like Lenin would have been against term limits.
