    Another ardent TeaBagging Christian Minister turns out to be a little boy diddler.

    I’m wondering if this isn’t something they teach at divinity school. “The psycho-social development of young boys for fun and profit, 101”.

    Gee, color me shocked.

    No, actually, color me in white, patent leather shoes, pure white hair and a brand new Mercedes Benz S-Class Sedan. By the grace of god, you can kiss my Patek-Philippe now.

    Another hero police officer bags hisself a fat one. I wonder how much vacation time he’ll get for this? It is extremely unlikely that he’ll face anything worse than a strong advisement for resignation, which leaves him open to re-hiring at another department somewhere else in the County. Thats what’s been happening in Kentucky and nearly every other State in the Union. The reality is, that cold-blooded first degree murder and outright armed robbery and other “crimes” such as burglary are not crimes at all if those actions are taken by an Officer of the Law, most especially if he’s in uniform.

    When a totalitarian revolution has happened in every country where the Authoritarians have presumed themselves to be the “proper” authority, examples being Greece, nearly every South and Central American Country, the only real thing they ever needed to take control of, was the Police Forces. Everything else falls into place after that. The politicians will cower in fear of, or openly support the Police and take great pride in that support in full view of the public, and label anyone who questions it a possible enemy of the State, a terrorist, or a criminal. Those Politicians always campaign on their mindless and unlimited support for “law enforcement”. The Police cannot ever do anything wrong and should never be restricted in their actions when working in defense of civilization.

    Right now, we have ALEC, and other organizations like the NRA, the National Chamber of Commerce and the Private Military Corporations openly lobbying and paying off those Politicians for that political support, while at the same time providing sole-source materials for training of those Police Officers. They write all the training manuals, they build and program all the simulators, and contract for operation of the training Academies that all Police Officers in the country are required to attend before being licensed as Officers of the Law.
    Those “Officials” are then blessed with nearly blanket permission to kill at will anyone who might be perceived as being noncompliant with the norms that those PMCs and the Politicians preach about in public, with the full and open support of nearly every religious and media corporate organization that exists.

    Shoot a man in the back, in his own home, without even needing to justify a reason to the public. It’s just a shrug anymore. So long as the paperwork is clean, they can do as they fucking please.

    Well there goes deadtoad the racist blaming this killing on Republicans. Except this is one of those “blue states”. Just like yesterday when he claimed cocoa was picked by African slaves in an African country.,

    Exploiting Soldiers To Hate The Working Poor

    Conservative propaganda against the working class, always ugly, has scraped a new low with this tweet from one Jennifer Harris:

    “Okay, rant – For those fast food employees striking for $15 an hour, let’s do some math. At $15 an hour Johnny Fry-Boy would make $31,200 annually. An E1 (Private) in the military makes $18,378. An E5 (Sergeant) with 8 years of service makes $35,067 annually. So you’re telling me, Sally McBurgerflipper, that you deserve as much as those kids getting shot at, deploying for months in hostile environments, and putting their collective asses on the line every day protecting your unskilled butt!? Here’s the deal, Baconator, you are working in a job designed for a kid in high school who is learning how to work and earning enough for gas, and hanging out with their equally goofy high school pals. If you have chosen this as your life long profession, you have failed.”

    Execrable.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This woman is an idiot on more levels than you can count. If anything, this argues our troops are woefully underpaid, and should be paid more. That is, if you assume her numbers are accurate. But they’re not, because she’s not counting the freebies soldiers get — health care, room and board (or in-lieu housing allowances), clothing, education benefits, recreation facilities, and so on. She’s also excluded from her pay calculations: Enlistment bonuses, overseas and combat pay, and the value of military pensions and post-service veterans benefits.

    So a high school kid working in a fast food job after classes and on weekends is a goof-off? When I was in high school, the kids with such jobs were the most ambitious, usually the best students, and often turned out to be the most successful as adults. And no small number of them, after graduating, went straight from fast food jobs into military service. The military loved to get them, because they were highly motivated and already had learned the discipline of work.

    In any case, I don’t see how tearing down our lowest-paid civilian workers raises up our underpaid troops. Why not simultaneously lift all boats together, instead of exploiting one group to keep another group down, and then keeping both groups down? Jennifer Harris, you are a pathetic twit.

    @17 “What a loser this woman is!”

    But still exceeded by her state’s execrable Republicans. Even if you’re right about Wendy Davis, and I’m not conceding you are, sometimes anything is better than what you’ve got, and this is one of those times. The Texas GOP is too entrenched, too corrupt, and maybe the voters there have had enough.

    There can be no doubt. Klownservative hatred of science has directly led to a delay in producing a vaccine for ebola.

    The director of the National Institutes of Health says an Ebola vaccine would be ready by now if it were not for cuts to the NIH budget….

    The NIH budget, at $29.3 billion in 2013, is almost the same as it was in 2004, at $28 billion, which does not factor in inflation. The budget is down from $31 billion in 2010.

    Collins said he hopes that Congress will pass emergency funding for the NIH, but “nobody seems enthusiastic about that.”

    READ MORE ROGER RABBIT ON “THE AVE”

    I’ve had a very busy weekend of writing, and some of my recent work is over on SJ’s blog, here:

    http://handbill.us/

    You may have to scroll down a couple of pages before running into my work, as The Ave is a very active blog, with numerous new articles being posted every day.

    Generally speaking, I post my short comments on HA, and use TA for longer comments or articles, because of the two blogs’ different formats. SJ has given me author privileges and access on his blog, and I’m using it.

    So, if you’re only reading HA, you’re missing some of my best contributions. To find me on TA, just look for the rabbit avatar. I’m “Roger Rabbit” over there, too, although I don’t use the rabbit theme as much in my TA articles.

    Guns Don’t Kill People Dep’t

    A New Jersey toddler was killed Saturday by a bullet flying into her family’s apartment from a gun fired by one of three yahoos walking down the street outside blasting away as they went.

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/th.....let-death/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: The gun is innocent. It’s an inanimate object that does no harm until a stupid human picks it up. Don’t register guns; register humans. All of you stupid humans should be kept away from guns. Guns won’t be a problem if humans aren’t allowed to touch them.

    @20 Judge Posner is a heavyweight in the legal profession, and if you follow the links to the audios of the oral arguments, what stands out is he’s focused on marriage as a legal status while the attorney defending Indiana’s gay marriage ban is talking about procreation.

    And that’s it in a nutshell. Mention “marriage” and lawyers think about a legal status that confers rights and benefits; and Republicans think about sex.

    I’m sure there must be chaste gay marriages, just as there are chaste heterosexual marriage. (Research indicates more than 20 million U.S. married couples rarely or never have sex.)

    Marriage is primarily a legal contract. It is primarily a set of legal rights, such as access to a hospitalized partner or inheritance rights. Denying marriage rights is never about preventing people from having sex, because they’re going to have sex anyway; it’s always about denying them legal rights.

    There’s no logical reason why gay couples shouldn’t have the same legal rights as hetero couples. The only thing obstructing it is blind prejudice. Judge Posner understands this; the idiot lawyer standing in front of him doesn’t. Listening to the audio clips makes this crystal clear.

    @21 – if you watched MSNBC you would have know that it was a terror attack, a week after it happend, as reported by your favorite Rachel Maddow.

    You got nothing. All you got is a make believe cover up story.

  36. 36

    And that’s it in a nutshell. Mention “marriage” and lawyers think about a legal status that confers rights and benefits; and Republicans think about sex.

    Pffffffffffft errrnnnnt… wrong again moronic NoBalls IDIOT Wabbit. It used to be two people got married to perpetuate the species… Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth… So that’s the original premise for marriage.

    Sux to be a wayward jump the tracks libtard freak claiming to be a wabbit!

  37. 37

    empty tea bag with the puffed butt@35,

    The official stance of the Obummer sadministration was not a terror attack until way later. The three CIA contractors were called liars by the Obummer sadministration. Leon Panetta has cleared the air corroborating the three CIA contractors!

    This is why you sux too empty tea bag with the puffed butt!

  41. 41

    One thing that amuses me about Rmoney’s little jokefest is the fact that people in the audience were laughing even before he got to the punchline.

    Because they figgered it out before Romney got there deadtoad the racist. Everyone in that room knew Obummer has no clue!

    To the monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin…,

    FACTS you idiot FACTS… http://www.politico.com/magazi.....D1IVBbgV8G

    Consider the Prevention and Public Health Fund, a new series of annual mandatory appropriations created by Obamacare. Over the past five years, the CDC has received just under $3 billion in transfers from the fund. Yet only 6 percent—$180 million—of that $3 billion went toward building epidemiology and laboratory capacity. Especially given the agency’s postwar roots as the Communicable Disease Center, one would think that “detecting and responding to infectious diseases and other public health threats” warrants a larger funding commitment.

    PuddyCommentary: This is why monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin is an IDIOT… An additional 3 Billion from Obummercare and did the monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin mention it? NOPE cuz the monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin is a DOPE!

    So why is the CDC spending money on non-essential priorities monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin? Will the sidewalks and streetlights help fighting Ebola on the street?

    It really sux to be the misinformed monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin!

    @36. Thanks puddy, glad to read you approve of our marriage,since my husband and i adopted our son. Married with children. That’s us.

    ” So that’s the original premise for marriage.”
    No, not really, it depends on when and where…..

    “Has marriage always had the same definition?
    Actually, the institution has been in a process of constant evolution.
    “Whenever people talk about traditional marriage or traditional families, historians throw up their hands,” said Steven Mintz, a history professor at Columbia University. “We say, ‘When and where?'” The ancient Hebrews, for instance, engaged in polygamy — according to the Bible, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines — and men have taken multiple wives in cultures throughout the world, including China, Africa, and among American Mormons in the 19th century. ”
    http://theweek.com/article/ind.....-centuries

    “Like most ancient governing bodies, Athens didn’t legally define marriage for its citizens. Producing offspring was pretty much the only reason to get hitched — as one man put it, “We keep hetaerae (courtesans) for pleasure, concubines for the daily care of our body, and wives for the bearing of legitimate children and to keep watch over our house” — because the state did control movement of wealth through inheritance. It was so important to keep property within the family, Coontz writes, that a girl whose father died without leaving another male heir could be forced to marry her nearest male relative, even if she had to divorce her current husband.

    Marriage wasn’t even considered the most ideal union, at least according to the elite members of society. That honor went to — drumroll, please — homosexual partnerships, since married men and women weren’t expected to provide emotional fulfillment for one another.”

    “Early Christians: Marital sex is a necessary evil.
    “Many early Christians,” Coontz writes, “believed that marriage undermined the rigorous self-control needed to achieve spiritual salvation.” Celibacy was therefore preferable over marriage, but sex was tolerated for purposes of procreation.”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....89763.html

    I guess from your narrow self limited point of view, gay marriage doesn’t count because they don’t directly procreate, but it’s much more than that and if you let yourself think, you would see that. It has been for contracts, and property, and heirs, and love, and political influence, and control, and yes, procreation.

  45. 45

    LMAO! at the DOLT@42

    He talks CDC, I’m talking NIH..

    He’s talking the ACA, I’m talking a lack of funding for an ebola vaccine going back to the days of the empty suit he voted for twice!

    The village idiot troll is a fool I tell you, a silly fool!

  46. 46

    And don’t forget the republicans blocked the nomination for the Surgeon General. Once again, republicans blocked governance for strictly petty partisan reasons.
    If you want someone to blame for the less than stellar response from the goverment, blame republicans, this is what they wanted.

  47. 47

    Republicans have NOT blocked the Surgeon General nomination. Another lie offered by DUMMOCRETINS. Harry Reid instituted the nukular option worser. The Republicans can NOT block the vote. Harry Reid will not bring it up to the chamber as he knows it’s politics man!

    Man you are as dense as spent uranium. Sux to be worser. The more worser it is the worser it gets!

  48. 48

    Wow monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin… NIH? Well http://www.niaid.nih.gov/news/.....VaxQA.aspx

    So much for blocking that vaccine eh moron?

    Or maybe there would be more money for the vaccine if it wasn’t wasted here eh moron? http://time.com/3060276/obamac.....-act-cost/

    Wait for the HA Hero name change from the monomaniacal moonbat moron clueless crazed cretin!

    Or maybe those origami condoms funded by the NIH eh moron? http://freebeacon.com/issues/g.....n-rabbits/

    “Origami condoms” paid for by the U.S. taxpayers were first tested on female rabbits, which were killed after having pieces of silicone inserted in them for five days.

    FACTS moron FACTS.

    Puddy ROTFLRHMBBAO!

    So according to GOATSEBOY’S@49 link:

    Between 2003 and 2008, the NIH spent more than $17 million funding the study of AIDS and HIV in Kaiyuan County, Yunnan Province, China.

    So GOATSEBOY, can you explain how Obama managed that?

  51. 51

    So according to GOATSEBOY’S@47:
    Republicans have NOT blocked the Surgeon General nomination.

    From http://www.kbzk.com/news/as-ca.....-general-/

    As calls for Ebola “czar” grow, where’s the surgeon general?

    Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, blocked Murthy’s nomination in February, arguing his non-clinical experience working with an offshoot of a pro-Obama campaign group made him overly political for the job.

    So GOATSEBOY sucks on SATAN’S the KOCH’S COCK again.
    Nothing new here…

  52. 52

    “Last November 14th, the President nominated Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, an extremely qualified candidate to replace ‘acting’ Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin. It took three months, but the Senate finally got around to holding a confirmation hearing for Dr. Murthy’s appointment. However, the National Rifle Association exerted its very substantial legislative prerogative and blocked Murthy’s confirmation because he does not recognize that the NRA is “fourth and all-powerful branch of the federal government” and called for sane gun restrictions to prevent more Americans from dying unnecessarily from the gun violence epidemic. It is exactly what a real medical professional, and highly-qualified potential Surgeon General of the United States, is supposed to do; help prevent a deadly epidemic from spreading to save American lives.”

    http://www.politicususa.com/20.....ebola.html

    Puddy, take your meds, it will help your posts make some sense.

  53. 53

    Once again when ekim has sex with animals he can’t get past the truth from the fiction. Once again you libtard morons (ekim and worser, unless there are enough DUMMOCRETINS, Harry Reid can force it through with the nukular option… http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....l-nominee/

    Paul is placing what’s known as a hold on the nomination, a courtesy afforded to senators allowing them to voice their opposition. But Reid could technically still move forward, and a Reid spokesman suggested the majority leader would not sit on Murthy’s nomination simply over Paul’s objections.

    “This is just one of the many ways Republicans exploit routine matters to impose gridlock on the Senate,” he said in a statement. New Senate rules approved by Democrats could also make it easier to push through nominations like Murthy’s.

    And… http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfro.....id/554775/

    Sen. Rand Paul says the president’s nominee for surgeon general politicizes the office, but there is nothing he or fellow Republicans can do to stop confirmation.

    Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said he is asking President Barack Obama to withdraw the nomination of Dr. Vivek Hallegere Murthy.

    Read further and Paul says point blank Harry Reid declared the nukular option.

    This is why so many HA DUMMOCRETINS are part of the low information voter crowd. They read one left wrong site and IT’S GOSPEL to their puny minds.

    So ekim… keep having sex with animals. Looks like SATAN has full control over your puny mind! So worser, take your full allotment of drugs dude; even then your posts will still be as wrong as ever!

    Sux to be LIV morons everyday on HA!

  54. 54

    ekim the goat sex expert… Where did Puddy mention anything with CDC or NIH before 2009/

    Keep sucking on those male animal appendages ekim. Milk it for what it’s worth!

    So now we learn that the Ebola testing was just sitting around under Obummer’s NIH and CDC but it’s the Republican’s fault… http://time.com/3453022/ebola-.....expedited/

    “Of course, history is more complicated than that. Boswell claims that part of the problem is that we define marriage so differently today that it’s almost impossible for historians to recognize 1800-year-old gay marriage documents when they see them. Often, these documents refer to uniting “brothers,” which at the time would have been a way of describing same-sex partners whose lifestyles were tolerated in Rome. Also, marriages over a millennium ago were not based on procreation, but wealth-sharing. So “marriage” sometimes meant a non-sexual union of two people’s or families’ wealth. Boswell admits that some of the documents he found may refer simply to non-sexual joining of two men’s fortunes — but many also referred to what today we would call gay marriage.”

    http://io9.com/gay-marriage-in.....-951140108

    Another view….
    http://www.gaychristian101.com/Gay-Marriage.html

    But gay marriage in the catholic church is like climate change for conservatives, I expect you will dig up counter sites to allow you to deny that it happened.
