Hurricane Bearing Down on Republican Convention...Sign From God?
We are a divided nation, and Washington DC is in gridlock as Republicans in Congress do everything they can to thwart any ideas that would improve the economy before the November Elections...the Republicans have spent the last two years tossing America's middle and lower classes under the bus in the name of winning the White House, seeing us as nothing more than acceptable collateral damage in a WIN AT ALL COST race to put themselves back in power so that they can perpetrate their Radical Right Wing Tea Party Agenda on the nation.
This past Sunday Todd Akin exposed an ugly truth about the party, showed Americans the dark and sinister under belly of the party that wants to send women back to the day when they are bare foot, pregnant and in the kitchen. Todd Akin has shown that the Republican Party is full of radical religious zealots with an agenda that runs contrary to the will of the people...which does make one wonder as a tropical storm/soon to be hurricane sets its sites on Tampa...is God sending the Republicans a message?
I'm not an overly religious person, would not be one to jump to this conclusion, but we all know just how God Fearing some in the Republican Party really are, and if some of their thoughts on obeying the word of God are correct, it might stand too reason that God is sending them a sign that they have strayed to far off the path of righteousness in the name of politics, in the name of the Republican Party. Perhaps God would support a woman's right to choose, especially in cases of Rape and Incest. Perhaps God, like Nancy Reagan supports stem cell research and the lives it saves. Perhaps a Hurricane taking a direct hit on Tampa, raining on Mitt Romney's parade is God's way of waking up the Republican Party, his way of telling them they have gone to far.
Or maybe this tropical storm is just a bit of bad luck that might put a damper on the Republican Party's National Convention.
The R's should just stand their ground
"Scribes, Pharisees, Hypocrites...and (R)epugnicons!!!"
How can these "people" who fervently believe they have God Almighty on their side behave in such vile and utterly reprehensible ways? If they believe in the Bible and Jesus then they had better start studying it a LOT harder, because their actions are about as evil as you can get, starting with their collusion to obstruct Obama on every single thing he has tried to do from day-one in office. They are control freaks and self-appointed guardians of everyone else's morality, relentlessly determined to breakdown the separation of church and state, destroy critical thinking skills in upcoming generations by attempting to pass legislation to outlaw it in public schools, dictators of what a woman is allowed to do with her own body, preachers of "righteousness" regarding marriage, and disseminators of disinformation, lies, and propaganda. They comprehend nothing of true value and worth to society at large (like stopping global warming and mass species extinction e.g.) and are thus akin to foul, rancid, stenchful, dead beasts rotting away and polluting the air of common good for all citizens of this planet (including themselves, because they are too stupid to even realize that).
They are evil, pernicious swine!!!
Then you better believe that they have many contingency plans in place to guarantee that they still win the whitehouse and the senate... nobody is this stupid as to expose such EXTREME view and policies, stand by them and then believe that anyone would vote for their views, unless they had an ace in the hole, like voter suppression, or as I like to call "Rigging the Election". I guarantee you, they are more than rich enough to have these backups in place.. no one would keep up the smoke screen of their radical views, unless they want you to look in that direction, and not at their sleight of hand on the ballot boxes. Just like that corrupt election official did in wisconsin in 2010 when she hid about 10,000 ballots until about 2 weeks after the elections were over... then suddenly the ballots 'reappeared' with a claim that they had been lost. Don't doubt it people, like that idiot judge down in texas said, there is going to be a civil war, he just failed to mention that he and his ilk are the ones who are planning to start it if they don't get their way.
Vampires cannot tolerate light. Cockroaches scurry away under exposure. At long last their true nature has been revealed to a candid world. It is all just a matter of spreading the truth about them now. They know not how else to behave. An animal cannot behave as human. Their poisonous and dangerous venom of lies and deceit can only be inflicted on the unwary. Let us also Occupy the Holy Ground of Truth as well as Occupy Wall Street and spread the Gospel of Progressiveness in our Holy War; our economic and political jihad against the forces of darkness. Let us smite these philistines of intrigue and deception. Let us be as determined as they are (no, more so) to carry out our own holy mission of Truth about their evil ways, for they are the true enemies of righteousness...demons of all that is unholy. They are monsters set on devouring the sleeping sheep. Let us continue our holy march against them and trample them underfoot as the vermin they are, for we are now engaged in a great Civil War; a Battle of the Ages; of Good vs. Evil.
Let us forever press on to the goal handed to us; to break the bonds of servitude and slavery that keep us in chains to these angels of darkness. Let us fear not, my brothers and sisters, to go forth with the mighty sword of Truth and smite our enemies with the righteous Word of Light...for we are of the Light, not of the Dark as they are.
I, Underdog, have written this by my own hand. May the love of Truth and righteousness be with you always. Amen.
You are 100% right on. They use religion to secure their base, they believe none of it.
Yes - there are modern day Pharisees, and you bet plenty of Hypocrites. And yes they are insane as they seem bound and determined for destruction and self annihilation under the sway and leadership of CorpoRATion's.

Krugman is the man
He wouldn't say anything. But it is ironic. Since he is the one who claims the homosexuals" cause the retribution of thewrath of god when natural disasters strike.
They are a bunch of religious wackos who use religion to beat up homosexuals, womens rights, and anyone else they don't agree with. We need to ask them if this is Gods wrath against their anti 99% agenda.
We can probably pose the question at the convention.
Maybe a tweet or facebook page they set up!
I'm gonna do that. I'm sure they will ignore it.
It would be funny anyway
God damn 1% tools
LOL

Basically, there is about 30%, maybe as high as 40% of all voters who are evenly split as being neo conservative evangelicals on the right, and progressive democrats on the left.
This 30% to 40% draws all the attention away from the liberal moderates and the moderate liberals. So when you think that all republicans are one way, you have been brainwashed by the progressives.
When a republican thinks that all democrats are the same, they too have been brainwashed by the neo conservatives.
So everyone is brainwashed and all the same? Are you brainwashed?
"liberal moderates" - "moderate liberals" Hey. you just switched those words around. Which is which? No conservatives? I'm confused. Is it all just the same?
A liberal moderate is a republican with a brain that has not been entirely hijacked by the evangelical republicans.
A moderate liberal is a democrat who does not fall for the progressive bullshit, you know, progressives who pick fights because they think all of his friends will protect him.
These two groups, moderate liberals and liberal moderates are the marginalized majority in the U.S.
Marginalized because their abilities to problem solve are less news worthy than watching an idiot male republican politician attempt to explain forcible rape, or progressives doing equally wacky things.
"liberal moderate is a republican" Nope. Sorry we disagree! Never heard of such a label.
However,
Progressives care for others (you got a problem with progressives?)
Conservatives care only for themselves. (you left conservatives out of your description, how do they fit in?)
Neo cons and or evangelicals make up about 40 to 45% of all republicans. The rest are liberal moderates, or, moderate conservatives if you like.
Progressives are probably around 30% to 35% of all democrats.
The numbers are relevant how? & where are you getting these numbers? The same place you got the term liberal moderate republican? lol
http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/romney-s-evangelical-problem-20110519
44% However overall it would be lower than that when independents who vote republican are added in.
27%, 46%, 60%, Republican, independent, liberal, vote.
Link this, & that.
ok? good deal.
Go!
I don't know what you are talking about.
Don't worry. Not important. I think I just had a stroke.
Wow thanks. Can you now explain why the republicans are so confused about rape? You fucking moron!
Akin is an embarrassment (at best) http://www.theonion.com/articles/i-misspokewhat-i-meant-to-say-is-i-am-dumb-as-dog,29256/
But I don't think it is fair to extend Akin's views to Republicans in general. Akin is getting a lot of pressure from his party to get out of the race. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gop-eye-tuesday-deadline-for-akin/2012/08/21/fcf695a2-eb8c-11e1-9ddc-340d5efb1e9c_story.html
There are at least 40 house republican members (including the republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan) who agree that rape victims should be forced to carry their rapists baby. The republican platform includes no abortion even in cases of rape!. The republican personhood bill co sponsored by Akin & Ryan also includes new rape catagories in order to remove the right to an abortion for rape victims was approved by almost 100% of the house repubs!!!
The repubs are not asking Akin to drop out because they disagree with him but because he screwed up by speaking their position out loud, and the only way they could survive is by throwing him under the bus.
This is not Akins flob. This is the republican party position.
That's true. That is a separate issue from whether pregnancies can result from rape. Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by Republicans being "confused about rape". I thought you were referring to Akin's opinion that a woman's body has some way to prevent pregnancy if it is a "legitimate rape". I haven't heard any other Republicans suggest that.
There have been others. He ain't the 1st or the only! But it is all part ofthe attempt to get rape victims to not have abortion. If legitimate rape cannot result in pregnancy then fake rape victims can be forced to carry the baby.
I sometimes wonder if their stance on abortion is more because of economic matters and less about morality. It is kind of hard to have a well populated labor pool when abortions are so readily available. kidding of course...
They are just appealing to southern right wing wacko religious fundamentalcases. Thats all.
It is kind of hard to take their personal economic responsibility line seriously when they are cramming their morality down our throats.
Or small government lie when they want to control our uterus and bedroom activity.
It's because you only watch progressive news talking about neo cons, yet you automatically think that is how all republicans think, you idiot.
what's the republican platform?
But you didn't explain right? So That says something
and yet, Obama threw Glass Stegall under the bus at the democrat platform discussion. It actually had a majority of support and was not even brought up for discussion.
Um, what was OWS's main concern when they started their protests? Wasn't the reintroduction of Glass Steagall one of the top three issues, along with end the fed and jail wall street fraudsters. Oh wait, Obama just EXONERATED Goldman Sachs.
Wow, that's two OWS points shat on by Obama. And wait, who is considering an audit the fed plank to their platforms, why, it's the republicans.
But you go and pin your entire belief system on the words of one republican moron.
republican/conservative policies created all our problems
Repeal of Glass Steagal and all weak fin reg are conservative dogma. period. Democrats fight for stronger reg, like Dodd Frank- watered down by.... wait for it..... Republicans!
Same with the weak laws covering execs personal liability. Created by repubs. Strengthen those laws and we can arrest some fin execs.
Ows supports money out of politics, Repubs do not! We support expanded Pell grants Repubs do not. We support public healthcare option repubs do not.
Dems support all these important issues, And are not confused about rape. Why are the republicans confused about rape? Are you also confused about rape?
You are not correct. It was Barney Frank that ridiculed George Bush's warnings that a housing collapse was coming.
What I do find interesting is that neither the democrats or republicans were willing to soften the housing bubble that they knew was about to burst, that is why it is silly to actually believe that one side is perfect and the other causes all the problems.
It is conservative policies that created all our problems. Including Bushs Housing bubble. Progressive policies will correct it all
Frank rebuffed all efforts to address the housing bubble before it burst.
Bush and his 1% plutocrat friends created the bubble, the crash, the bail out, the great recession, the unemployment crises, the massive annual deficit we still live with & the humongous national debt. It was conservative policies that fucked us! WTF are you talkin about "Frank ignored Bushes housing bubble warnings". You sound like a moron. Just shut the fuck up. Please don't respond.
This is a six minute video that highlights Frank's role in stopping the republicans from adding an oversight committee to freddie mac and fannie mae.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM&NR=1
And here is your buddy Frank in less than two minutes saying some of the dumbest statements I can ever recall, holy crap if a republican had ever said this, it would be in the news 24/7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW5qKYfqALE&feature=related
This is why I dislike fanatical progressive democrats, they are so set in their own perfection and the imperfection of others, I actually end up defending republicans. Absolutely unreal.
I disagree. You seem well versed in anti dem rhetoric, & republican defense. That you would blame "Progressive Dems" for your defense of repubs shows how you are misdirecting blame as a reflex. It's delusional. There's no logic, no rhyme or reason. And to blame One representative for this massive republican scam is ludicrous. You actually believe this bullshit.? Stop! I'm no idiot. I don't believe your partisan lies. Fucking moron.
So, you did or did not look at the link?
I can't speak for OWS or dems, but I support Glass Steagal
It was never in the platform! just because at came out of a larouch word hole doesn't mean anyone else agreed. In fact it's a good bet that no one supports it. Sorry Larouche is a wacko?
If you know what the Glass Stegall re-enactment was, you, as would most democrats, would be FOR IT.
I can go into the forum archives and find topics about the importance of Glass Steagall being reintroduced. Are OWS supporters in favor of Glass Stegall also Larouche wackos?
The republicans created these problems. repealing Glass Steagal was conservative policy dogma. Anyone who approved/signed were wrong. This not Barnie Franks fault. That is just ridiculous! It's obviously dishonest repub talking points. You are wrong!
Are you ok? Please take a deep breathe, and eventually exhale.
Dare I mention that Obama's minions took the repeal of the Glass Steagal repeal off of the democrat platform without even discussing it.
NO!. You are obviously deranged, and overly accusatory on one particular individual when it was years of republican/conservative policies that created these problems. Why the fuck would I give a republican the time of day?. I'm not lookin for any instruction from partisan republicans. Keep you links you selfish, inconsiderate right wing piece of shit!
The Glass Stegall ammendment was signed at the end of Bill Clinton's term. He rejected the bill once, it was worked on some more, than congress approved it by 90%, so he signed it knowing it would go through no matter.
Less than 2 years later the Bush administration noticed problems starting to emerge and congress would not listen. Frank was a big reason congress would not listen. I provided two links, ignore if you want, but the second link is Frank himself telling everybody else they are full of shit for worrying about a housing bubble.
Nope! never was in the platform, I ain't seen any evidence to support that rumor. Sorry.
But the Democrats did pass financial regulations that republicans watered down, offered no votes, and have promised to repeal. The Democrats have also committed to push more financial regulations, they will if we replace conservatives with progressives.
Let me understand this, the meeting to decide the democrat platform is really the meeting to rubber stamp the democrat platform. It would appear the democrat platform was actually decided somewhere else at an earlier time.
Those LaRouche bad guys, how dare they actually try and have a discussion about including Glass Stegall to the democrat platform when a majority of those attending the platform meetings were for it!
Politics as usual, no?
Took Glass Steagal off the platform? Nah!. Never was there. Just like your republicans. I thought that was Larouche propaganda lies.
Gimme a break.
yes, it was supposed to discussed, had strong support, but the Obama minions shot it down, cuz Obama is a banker.
the only government budget growing faster than medicare is interest on the national debt
There is only ONE government budget you moron! Interest might be the fastest growing part of that budget but it is not a separate budget as your statement inaccurately suggests
Neneh Cherry - I've Got You Under My Skin [HQ Original Video]
Aaargh!
How many government budgets do you think we have?
something I heard on PBS
Not likely. I doubt very much PBS would say there are more than one government budget.
oh very likely
interest is how the money is delivered to our over lords
empty is neo - liberal - conservative progressive jargon
empty? make some sense will you! form a god damn sentence! Do you speak english?
need a translator ?
try citing specific examples of policy
Don't respond to my comments. I don't talk to 12 year olds!
talking to 12 year olds would be a good start
the trouble with being flippest is that it is too easy
and I have to wait two minutes to respond
to what I answer in less than 10 seconds
I don't understand. Ask mommy to help with your words.
Given proper guidance by an educated informed involved population.
I wish the population was properly educated. What a world that would be.
There was a time - back around the 50's & 60's - when we had real news happening along with the emergence of the spin machine. When people got involved as they saw the attacks on society and recognized them for what they were - and they got involved.
This is the public we need to get back in motion.
Maybe. Did more people vote? It wasn't the best of times for everyone! But I understand and agree with the sentiment.
People did not start the gr8 opt-out until during the Vietnam era.
Kids in school were taught critical thinking skills in many areas across the country as we were trying to raise the best and the brightest to stave off communism.
That program seemed to change when the educated of the country started protesting government policy instead of accepting all actions as proper red white and blue activity.
I saw a story about the lack of teaching critical thinking these days. It mentioned that the approach started in the '60's. I connected it to the desegregation of the public schools. Maybe related?
Desegregation was a different issue - but it ties in with the people getting together to protest injustices - and forcing government to do something about it rather then let them continue to turn a blind eye on the ills of this society.
So - long winded comment/reply short - Yep - You Betcha - related.
Easy to be Hard
Just curious but is there anything wrong with being: barefoot? pregnant? or in the kitchen?
The ying, the yang...
Work boots. Asexual. Assembly line.
Spiked heels. Amorous. Street corner.
Flats. Infertile. CEO.
Who are the slave drivers here?
Who decides for women now?
Blooming petals, upside down... peace is evil, turn satirical around.
Knuckledrag much?
I have news for you, the world of capitalist labor that we've shoved women into is not a beautiful place. I don't think I've ever met a female that wouldn't rather be lying barefoot around the pool with a pina colada in her hand, and I hope I never do.
Sexist???
You???
Why of course.
Let me reiterate, I have never met a woman, feminist or non-feminist, gay or straight, footloose or fettered, childless or child's nest.... that would prefer to be working... We'd all rather be at home and the more comfortable that home is, the more we want to be there. And while your sucking on that one, I'm going to play sexist.
You must not get around too much.
Perhaps you live in a place of string bikinis.
Most of us don't.
It's funny because I don't see too many young women today jumping into the career lifestyle; what I'm seeing is just the opposite.
Like I said. You're just looking in all the wrong places.
I don't think Romney's wife is helping him to win women over
on the otherhand , I don't think thr republicans intend to address war
Well sooner or later someone has to, we've been in Afghanistan for forever now.
since Reagan supplied the Taliban with weapons to fight the Russians
Men too.
