Neo-Theocrats Ask God To Stop Health Care Reform

Separation of Church and State for these Neanderthal Christianist neo-theocrats means you have to have God stop Kings from passing laws in a democracy. Truly villainous use of peoples' superstitions to thwart a normal discourse in Congress. Bending and piecing together religious dogmas to suit there needs. I guess God is a Democrat because it passed. Also, God is omniscient, you can't tell him what to do. Um, hubris?

Top Republicans Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) want God to stop Health Reform. Was Jesus busy? He had no interest whatsoever in healing or helping the sick or the poor, right?

They use abortion, rationing care, medical marijuana and killing people, ALL NOT IN THE BILL, as examples of why they are against it. Specious and misleading and they know it.

Rachel Maddow has a great piece on the "Prayercast" they use to publicly convince their followers of their sincerity. You may ask yourself, "Is this The Onion?"

An Empty Prison Looking For Detainees

Chris Matthews and two Illinois Congressman discuss torture, closing Gitmo and bringing convicted detainees to a built, yet empty, $150 million dollar maximum security prison in Illinois.

Rep. Aaron Schock [R] uses the "ticking time bomb" scenario that never exists to justify torture anytime, anywhere. Conclusion: zero principles for his American exceptionalism. I guess Republican exceptionalism means claim all the benifits from American goodwill, "except" do nothing that actually has principled meaning or basis in Rule of Law.

"I don't believe that we should limit waterboarding - or, quite frankly, any other alternative torture technique - if it means saving Americans' lives." Schock doesn't even bother to say "enhanced interrogation techniques," or maybe he just flubs the Orwellian talking point.

Note: 95% of the locals voted for bringing the detainees to the prison and the 3,500 jobs to their area. The fact that Schock never toured the prison, in his own district, did not stop him from getting in completely over his head.

Note 2: Schock is the youngest person in Congress and it shows.

It Is Never Really About Socialism

Socialism is synonymous in Foxland with "anything that scares me."

So what is it really? It's about the feared redistribution of privilege that these hicks think they've "earned" that scares them. Redistribution of wealth and Socialism are code words in their class warfare. They'll do anything to stop "coloreds" or "homos" from getting their shot at prosperity and equal freedoms. Obama is Marxist, a Muslim, a non-Christian, he wants to socialize the entire country. The same shit as calling Martin Luther King Jr a communist for wanting equal rights back in the 60s or these cretins [pictured] in Little Rock, AR, in 1959.

Why no protests under Bush for creating historic debt, nationalizing all the banks and mortgage companies, wiretapping Americans without warrants, growing the size of the Government to its largest levels ever, all while wasting money on endless wars? It all ties into race and other social objectives and has nothing really to do with taxation, deficits, and big government.



Marriage and access to health care are things that help you become independent of the State. You and your spouse care for each other. Health care keeps you out of expensive hospitals. But why address the real problems when you can call out "socialism" and the lemmings all mindlessly nod on.

The Doomsday Hyperbole v Justice

The Republicans and Neo-Cons broke all the rules for carrying out Justice, now they get to complain when Justice actually happens.

"The Obami, in all their sanctimonious glory, will rise above the mundane concerns for safety and security and throw overboard our own judicial history and precedents. This is nothing more than an exercise in moral preening. We’ll impress our European friends and the academic Left. For the enemy is us," - Jennifer Rubin, on moving detainees to Thompson, Illinois.

John McCain, Colin Powell, David Petraeus, and George W. Bush all supported closing Gitmo. Are they our "European friends" or the "academic Left"? The whole fake war was to spread Democracy and "our values". You eventually have to live up to your words.

Rule of Law is moral preening? Obama is sanctimonious? I think Jennifer needs a dictionary.

22 Million Emails "Found"

There is a difference between lost and deleted.

"White House computer technicians have found 22 million e-mails that were believed to have been lost during President George W. Bush’s administration, according to the Associated Press."

These were around the time of the politicized Justice Department firings during the Alberto Gonzales' regime and the Valerie Plame–CIA leak scandal that nailed Dick Cheney's patsy, Scooter Libby.

Their excuse was that they were mislabled. 22,000,000 emails?!
