Whenever Backwards Becomes Forward Ho
Constitutionalists
My Aspirin:
Republicans have accused many times over
of Obama being a traitor to the nation and treasonous to the U.S. Constitution.
With the above said, the GOP ascertains
they are strictly constitutionalists. That may be true to an extent, but
only when they feel it is in their favor. Like a little family of moles
traveling through their tunnels, with one just behind the other, when the lead
stops, the rest butt-end up into each other with their noses.
Take for instance Donald Trump’s proclamation
that he will go against the Constitution by disavowing those with foreign immigrant
parents born here in America to no longer be eligible for U.S. citizenship as natural
born. This is in direct contradiction to the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
On a Sabbath Sunday no less this past
August 16, 2015, Trump declared on NBCs ‘Meet the Press’, all undocumented
immigrants need to go by being forcibly deported. As possibly the new president
he said, “We're going to keep the
families together, but they have to go.”
When moderator Chuck Todd pressed him what
if the immigrants had no place to go or return to, Trump simply repeated, “They have to go,” then later on in the
conversation followed with, “We will work
with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country, or we don't have a
country.”
Trump also added that America has to
rescind Obama’s executive order offering those children brought to the U.S. by
illegal immigrant parents at an early age (known as ‘Dreamers’) deportation
protections.
Of course with no say on how he would
conduct his policy, Trump claims he wants to go against the U.S. Constitution’s
14th Amendment concerning birthrights to infants born over U.S.
American soil. “Anchor babies” as
Republicans have dubbed these immigrant newborns in picking up on the righteous
Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) 2010 coining of the term, need to be deported as well
feeling they do not deserve birthright entitlement due to the fact the parents
were foreign immigrants.
Never mind the constitutional conflict presidential candidates Walker, Cruz, Fiorina, Jindal, and Graham, (who historically has trumpeted immigration reform) have induced, like those moles in the tunnel, just a few hours later announce the same Trump proclamation. In fact this is pretty much the whole of the Republican Party’s standing. Its aim is a direct shot at Latinos.
In jumping all over the place, Walker
appears to be confused. Within hours of Trump’s disposal proposal, in using
Trump as his guide dog, Walker at the Iowa state fairgrounds replies to MSNBCs
Kasie Hunt after being asked if he would end birthright citizenship that, “Yeah, absolutely, going forward.” He
further elaborates, “Yeah, to me it's
about enforcing the laws in this country. And I've been very clear, I think you
enforce the laws, and I think it's important to send a message that we're going
to enforce the laws, no matter how people come here we're going to enforce the
laws in this country.” He says this implying that laws are already in place
to deport “anchor babies” even though
in stark contrast the so-called Republican “anchor babies” are protected by
constitutional laws.
However on Friday August 20th
his stance abruptly changes once asked the same question claiming to CNBCs John
Harwood that, “I'm not taking a position
on it one way or the other.”
Then this past Sunday 22nd,
within seven days he performs the triple flip-flop on ABCs ‘This Week’ citing
that his immigration reforms are “similar”
to Trumps’ and further diverted without any conviction, “But the one thing that I do want to clarify is I do think that there is
some real frustration out there.”
Hours after Trump’s announcement, others
had to jump in on this right-wing covered wagon cart announcing their ideology.
Piyush Jindal (AKA Bobbie) tweets, “We
need to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants.”
“Yeah
I don’t mind changing that law. I think it’s a bad practice to be giving
citizenship based on birth.” That’s what Lindsey Graham professes to Wolf
Blitzer on CNN.
Carly Fiorina when asked by a ‘Wall
Street Journal’ (WSJ) reporter at the ‘Iowa State Fair’ on her thoughts about
Trump’s immigration declaration she responded, “I think there are aspects of his plan that makes a lot of sense.”
When the WSJ asked for her personal views, she declared, “I think we must begin by securing the border. Then when we’ve done all
that, then we can decide what to do with the people who have come here and
stayed illegally. My own view is that they do not earn a pathway to
citizenship; (be)cause I know too many people, as do all of us have done it the
right way.” Fiorina then abruptly ends the conversation.
This past Saturday August 30th,
Chris Christie waited awhile before he weighed in…get it, weighed in,
Christie’s weight…anyway, he languished a bit longer than the other GOP
candidates in carpe diem-ing the immigration thing when he gave out a lulu in
saying up in Laconia, New Hampshire during a Republican gathering:
“At
any moment, ‘FedEx’ can tell you where that package is. It’s on the truck. It’s
at the station. It’s on the airplane. So here's what I'm going to do as
president: I'm going to ask Fred Smith, the founder of Federal Express, to come
work for the government for three months at Immigration and Custom Enforcement and
show these people. We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you
come in, and then when your time is up...however long your visa is, then we go
get you. We tap you on the shoulder and say, ‘Thanks for coming. Time to go!’”
One might want to know that Christie’s
campaign spokeswoman, Samantha Smith is ‘FedEx’ Freddie’s daughter. I don’t
think Christie is going to “ask” Fred, no, I think fully that Fred came up with
this Republican package people idea and has already suggested it to Christie.
Cruz on CBS’ August 23rd ‘Face the Nation’ airing emphasized that enforcing current laws is more important than the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment when he belted out, “There's a good faith argument on both sides. We should pursue whichever one is effective. But as policy matter, we should change the law.” He then alludes to the fact that there is much value in trying to end the practice of mothers coming into the U.S. to have babies that are given birthright citizenship and finally concludes with the usual Obama bash, “The first priority should be securing the border and we can do that with a president unlike president Obama, who will actually enforce the laws and get the job done.”

Cruz, in addition to stating he
“absolutely” supports ending birthright citizenship also enlisted a case first
highlighted by Trump by introducing a senate bill named after a woman who was
shot to death by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco.
Cruz is on a vendetta in defending the
Republican “anchor baby” term and as an example is his comments on Iowa’s
ultra-conservative talk show host, Jan Mickelson’s radio show. On air, when
Mickelson asked him if “anchor baby” is a demeaning term, Cruz demented, “You know, there is power, Jan, to simply
speaking the truth, to not engaging in this politically correct nonsense and
double-speak.” He later distracts in saying, “Speak honestly and candidly about the challenges we face, whether it’s
the assault on marriage — and we have the Supreme Court and the radical left
trying to forcibly redefine marriage and to tear down what has been a
fundamental building block of our society from time immemorial — or when it
comes to, on immigration.”
This Republican “anchor baby” catch phrase is really nothing more than aggrandized fairy tale dust. GOP candidates use the sarcastic term because it gets their low informed audiences’ attention. Remember, the Republican Party deals in rhetorical ideology and not substantive facts.

Trump has used the phrase several times
in his immigration speeches and Jindal on ‘Fox News’ gleefully expressed he was
“happy to use” the term. It is part
of the Republican vocabulary.
Even the supposedly moderate conservative
Jeb! used it a few times himself. One was with the Bill Bennett conservative
radio show where Jeb! professed when questioned about border security, “Greater enforcement so that you don’t have
these… you know…‘anchor babies’ as they’re described coming into the country.”
Well enough is far well too much, so America’s Hispanic communities began
voicing their protest for the disgusting phrase.
ABC correspondent and Sunday World News
Tonight anchor, Tom Llamas shifted his angst opinion over to Bush, first
mentioning that, “Just two years ago, Bush
chaired a Hispanic outreach group that sent a memo to Capitol Hill suggesting
conservatives don’t use the term ‘anchor baby’. Now he’s defending it.”
Getting a bunch of flack and negative
media, Jeb! goes on the campaign trail not to apologize, but only to make
things worse in trying to justify his comments in using the derogatory term.
So ol’ Jeb! goes to the border town of
McAllen, Texas to express to Hispanics there that what he was referring to in
using “anchor babies” wasn’t aimed at Latino Americans, but rather at Asian
Americans when he said, “What I was
talking about was the specific case of fraud being committed, where there's
organized efforts, and frankly, it's more related to Asian people coming into
our country, having children in that organized efforts, taking advantage of a
noble concept with birthright citizenship.”
Of course he’s now riled the Asian
American communities as well, so Jeb!, as if he’s trying to perform his own
autopsy said in defiance, “I think we
need to take a step back and chill out a little bit as it relates to the
political correctness that somehow you have to be scolded every time you say
something.”
After that, in looking callous, he then
throws up his hands in sobbing to a reporter, “Do you have a better term? You give me a better term and I'll use it.”
I really do like what Hillary Clinton tweeted when she got word of Jeb’s
comment. She simply stated, “They’re
called babies.”
Republicans use “anchor babies” in the
sense that soon to-be-mothers cross over the border in hordes to give birth
therefore the parents can become citizens of the U.S. since they had a child in
the U.S., but it’s purely mythical right-wing fodder. Undocumented parents with
children born here in the states are deported on a constant basis including the
child and are not entitled to come back to this country until they reach the
age of twenty-one no matter if they are considered a citizen.
Even when they do come back they have to
pay for assessments such as an average of $600.00 assessed essentially as a
birth tax. At heart, these so-called U.S. citizen babies when deported are
raised elsewhere in limbo having no legal citizenship status. Current U.S.
immigration laws have thwarted the original intentions of the 14th
Amendment.
For this very one of many reasons is why
this country so desperately needs immigration reform, but Republicans will not
allow the senate bill to go forward.
In reference to a little constitutional
history, the 14th Amendment was ratified to the U.S. constitution in
1868 forcing the nation to adhere and resort back to the founding father’s
principles of birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment was in
direct response to the 1857 SCOTUS ‘Dred Scott vs. Stanford’ ruling to correct
the decision’s injustice in denying American born blacks citizenship.
The 14th Amendment provides
that, “All persons born or naturalized in
the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
On the other hand, one of the
eligibility requirements established in the United States Constitution for
election to the office of President or Vice President is this status as a
natural-born citizen of the United States. Section 1 of Article 2 of the U.S.
Constitution states for presidential eligibility requirements:
No
person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the
time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of
President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not
have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a
Resident within the United States.
Further, the 12th Amendment
states Article 2 also goes for the vice president as well when it states, “No person constitutionally ineligible to the
office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United
States.”
This requirement was intended to protect
the nation from foreign influence. Yet while Republicans wailed about this
concerning Obama’s birth place, their false accusations were just that…fairy
tale dust. But concerning Ted Cruz, who’s running for the office of president,
well now, he actually is not a naturally born U.S. citizen (even his first
eight years he didn’t live in the U.S.). These same Republicans are keeping
hushed about the truth and will be the first ones in line for the voting booths
to pull the lever for Cruz. To justify their hypocrisy, they do claim his
mother is American, but so was Obama’s; in fact she is so American that Obama
has every right to belong to the ‘Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution’ since his mother’s ancestral line stretches all the way back to the
fledgling nation’s war with Great Britain for independence.
Reince Priebus, as chairman of the RNC is
stating Republicans are compassionate and sincere in the party’s reaching out
to minority voters. He might just want to reevaluate the GOPs platform for
“anchor babies” just isn’t working. A recent 07/08-08/23, 2015 Gallup poll in
surveying Hispanics shows that American Hispanics have an unfavorable opinion
of Trump at a staggering -51%; that’s a minus sign in front of the percent
number folks. J. Bush leads the GOP presidential candidacy pack, but at a mere
11% favorability. In a mid-July poll conducted by ‘Bendixen and Amandi’ for
‘Univision’, when compared to Clinton, Bush loses by 27%. Even in his home
state of Florida, J. Bush would be trounced by Clinton in a hypothetical
presidential match-up by a strong 5 percentage points.
As for the American Asian vote, Mitt Romney
hardly made a dent with Obama enjoying an overwhelming showing pulling in 73%
of the Asian vote. After Jeb’s debacle, it just might be worse this go-round.
Priebus may as well kiss the ethnic
groups adios, for in his trembling reach out to minorities; they’ve already set
sail for more ethical higher grounds…it’s anchors away m’friend from the
Republican shoreline.
Jindal just might want to be a little
quieter on the matter for he was born to non U.S. citizen parents that were
here on temporary educational visas. He might argue that they were here
legally, but the Republican drive is to get “anchor babies” wholly; if you’re
parents aren’t citizens then neither will the “anchor baby” be.
For that matter, Trump might want to
watch his p’s ‘n’ q’s for his mother was a Scottish immigrant when he was born
while his paternal grandparents came straight from Germany giving birth to
Trump’s father as immigrants.
I will give credit to two lone GOP candidates who broke rank with their party. John Kasich reversed his former position and said he would leave the 14th Amendment alone, while Michael Huckabee said he would never address revising the amendment.
Lawless
West of the Pecos North, South ‘n’ East Too:
We are a nation of laws Republicans
insistently claim, but yet they are the ones who insist on breaking those laws.
For instance, the recent Supreme Court
decisions regarding LGBT marriage equality rights and Obamacare, you have
Republicans insisting they will ignore the rulings when the Constitution
explicitly expresses in Article III, has final interpretation and decision over
original jurisdiction, appellate jurisdiction, state court cases and federal
law.
This doesn’t seem to matter much to
Republicans, for they thumbed noses and decided to take matters up into their own
hands.
Governor Gregg Abbott (R-TX) wasn’t going to have any of that U.S. Supreme Court decision raining down on Texas to pop out that LGBT rainbow, so ordered the protection of religious liberties by allowing religious government employees to deny benefits to married couples. He forgot one thing though, his order is illegal, so he walked it backwards by backpedaling it out of law.

But it gave him a chance to shine like a
diamond in a goat’s rear for all the insanely religious Texans to see how godly
their governor truly is by tweeting and snapping a snazzy photog for his
Facebook page.
Days after the SCOTUS decision, Texas’ Republican attorney general, Dave Paxton wasn’t going to be outdone by Abbott, so issues a directive encouraging straight clerks to refuse marriage licenses to same sex couples. A few days after his tantrum though, Paxton’s indicted and arraigned for acting as a fake securities broker without being registered milking even acquaintances out of their money.
Ahhh...ain't he a religious dude |

Marriage equality is the law, but
attorney generals and governors all across the red states from Mississippi to
Utah are weighing every ounce bit of options they can come up with and muster
to break the law.
The ‘Environmental Protection Agency’
(EPA) is attempting to lower greenhouse gas emissions from coal plants. Once
the agency concludes and files their reports at the end of this summer, they
will then ask states under law to submit a detailed plan on how they will
implement the new requirements.
Totally against anything good for the
environment and perceived as a burden to business as usual, Republican Mitch
McConnell, who is the acting senate majority leader explicitly told Republican
governors to defy and break the law. At a Republican caucus luncheon this past
March third, McConnell stated, “Think
twice before submitting a state plan. Refusing to go along at this time with
such an extreme proposed regulation would give the courts time to figure out if
it is even legal, and it would give Congress more time to fight back. We’re
devising strategies now to do just that.”
I disagree with you on guns, fossil fuels and the environment |
Remember how Trump kept pushing for
Obama’s birth certificate and university degrees? How he incessantly rode on
questioning Obama’s birth and education even long after documents had been
produced proving Obama’s qualifications? Do ya recall that? He rode that dead
horse way nigh past its succumbing period until it simply fizzled away.
Well, it’s funny how conspiracies can circle back to the conspirator, for currently Trump is refusing to release his own records. He’s refusing to show documents proving his claim that he graduated number one at the ‘Wharton School of Finance.’ Even researching yearbooks during Trump’s claim, it shows that he only attended the university for two years, therefore didn’t even graduate. It does however prove he was once a student there.
On top of that, Trump as the current
leader in the GOP candidacy pack, has his ‘Trump International Website’
bragging in the portfolio about its luxury hotels and fancy golf courses in
Dubai and Istanbul. Last I heard these cities are located in the Muslim
dominated countries of the United Arab Emirates and Turkey. Doesn’t anything to
do with Muslims leave a nasty taste as wrapped around right-winger tongues?
Trump has numerous more overseas luxury
resorts, and most of his rich clientele are owners of American companies that
have abandoned America’s shorelines for more prosperous tax havens.
Oh and also, back home here in the
states, when it comes to hiring illegal immigrants, Trump’s general
construction and subcontractors that he hired to build his projects, they
themselves have hired multitudes of illegal immigrants simply to cut worker
costs.
Hillary’s e-mail: every current politician
has used personal e-mails for official business; every one of them…even Trey
Gowdy, who is instigating this Benghazi molehill into a mountain by shooting up
directly into the vein of partisan politics.
That’s right Trey Gowdy the House Select
Committee Benghazi Chairman has used private email and not a government e-mail
address in conducting official business. However, he refuses to be interviewed
or give any statements to reporters or the news media affiliates concerning his
own info@treygowdy.com. The taxpayer does not know if Gowdy has used his
personal e-mail address for both political campaign work and congressional
conversing, for he will not say.
Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT),
who succeeded Darrel Issa as Chairman of the ‘House Oversight & Government
Reform Committee’ boldly advertises his e-mail as both personal and official.
Today J. Bush proclaims at the Iowa
State Fair, “When I was governor of the
state of Florida, I released all my emails. I’m writing an e-book about my
emails. I think we need a lot more transparency in politics today.”
Oh yeah, maybe if he’s speaking of
secrecy over transparency, but other than that Bush is lying out loud.
It not only took Bush over seven years
to comply with the Florida e-mail statue, he handpicked them and only turned
over 250,000 of the 550,000 of his private account.
As reported by the 03/14/2015 ‘New York
Times’: “It took Mr. Bush seven years
after leaving office to comply fully with a Florida public records statute
requiring him to turn over emails he sent and received as governor, according
to records released Friday. Mr. Bush delivered the latest batch of 25,000
emails in May 2014, seven and a half years after leaving the Statehouse and
just as he started to contemplate a potential run for the White House, according
to a newly disclosed letter written by his lawyer. A Florida statute governing
the preservation of public records requires elected officials, including the
governor, to turn over records pertaining to official business ‘at the
expiration of his or her term of office.”
To follow up on his hand selection by
the 01/03/2015 ‘Tampa Bay Times’: “The
former governor conducted all his communication on his private Jeb@jeb.org
account and turned over the hand-selected batch to the state archives when he
left office. Absent from the stash are emails the governor deemed not relevant
to the public record: those relating to politics, fundraising and personal
matters while he was governor.”
The final relevance of other prying eyes
as reported by the 03/15/2015 CNN investigative report: “CNN review of those emails turned up evidence a number of his official
aides and family members also had email addresses housed at Jeb.org — and used
them to conduct both official and political business — raising questions about
how transparent that email dump ultimately was.”
Now, where are the Trey Gowdy henchmen
circling the corral over this?
In speaking of e-mails, the feds have
been conducting an undercover investigation into the Ashley Madison website
that is strictly a blog for infidelity where married persons look to engage
with other married persons. The website’s motto is, “Life is short, have an affair.”
The site was hacked with the hackers
releasing the website customer’s data between the dates of July 22-August 20,
2015. This concerned the federal government for it was found out that some
government officials, state and federal were using official government
computers to illicit the site.
Besides a lot of scorned spouses, the
revealed customer base also included CEO corporate executives and politicians.
A couple of Republicans had their names on the website’s released list. Among
them was Head of Louisiana’s GOP, executive director Jason Doré.
His excuse smells of what flies are
attracted to. Instead of admitting guilt, he justifies that it was for his law
firm’s research and nothing else in saying that, “As the state's leading opposition research firm, our law office
routinely searches public records, online databases and websites of all types
to provide clients with comprehensive reports. Our utilization of this site was
for standard opposition research. Unfortunately, it ended up being a waste of
money and time.”
Republican Baton Rouge metro city
councilman, Ryan Heck also had his name revealed on the list, but says he did
it as a joke without further comment. He claims on a tweeted message, “Dumb thing: went to Ashley Madison as a joke
5 years ago.”
Another Republican caught was Florida’s
state attorney, Jeff Ashton. He always portrays himself as the holier than thou
fellow, but was caught with his pants down as his name was listed on the
hacked website revealing he had not one but two active credit card accounts for
the site. Ashton was using the cheating site on taxpayer’s time and on official
state computers.
One of his comments was, “Please be real. I want someone that
fantasizes about being brought to a climax by a lover with a skillful tongue
and fingers as well as his member. Also a big toy collection is a plus.”
Now this is a married guy with six children.
The Republican Alabama mayor of
Hartselle, Mr. Don Hall has had his name linked with the website and has
resigned although the town’s small population of 14,466 taxpayers are still
going to have to front his $55,000.00/yr. salary and $350.00 car allowance
until November.
Aside from John Duggar’s name being
listed as a client, whom Republicans have rallied around on behalf of his
defense in being implicated as a child molester merely because he expressed
right-wing views on his reality TV show; where is the conservative evangelical
outrage.
Michael Huckabee’s ‘Fox News’ show of
five years ago featured Noel Biderman, the CEO of Ashley Madison and although
Huckabee disagreed with the website’s format, he did confess that he could be
wrong in questioning the site’s intentions. Again, where is this only true
Christian, the fundamentalist moral majority purge here?
There appears to be no known ranking Democrat on the hacked infidelity website’s list. I’ve searched hard, but none has come up. It appears to only be a Republican thing, now imagine that. Maybe since this is a secret Republican behavior, it bears out the reason for all the conservative quiet about it. Not even a peep has been ushered from the normally howling right-wing blog sites; not even a chirrup.

Ya know, in the right-wing Christian
mind, it’s quite OK to rip into women’s rights and back a heavily edited anti
‘Planned Parenthood’ under the cuff video to defund the program (Cruz has even
said he will write a senate bill to defund ‘Planned Parenthood’ in its entirety
throughout all 50 states) and remain oblivious to cheating spouses. But where the
Bible says nothing about abortion, it says plenty about infidelity. So, is the Bible Belt slogan of “Family Values” in name only?
The right-wing Christian will crow and
bark all the day long about the evils of what gays and lesbians do behind
closed doors when Jesus Christ their savior says nothing about LGBTs but does
express his stern views on adultery in Matthew 5: 27-30.
In listening to right-wingers talk, the
hypocritical arrogance they declare by claiming their religious freedoms are
being infringed upon by denouncing the LGBT’s struggles in attempts to at least
gain a shred of citizenship equality. Exactly how does gay activity infringe
onto their rights? Not one Republican I have spoken to can give an adequate
response, because it is merely an opinionated belief and not an actual truth.
Now, while we’re on the topic of religion, let’s continue on into another segment in how Republican politicians use average citizen Republicans as pawns for votes.
Not even cancer can stop former President Jimmy Carter from doing what he loves to do. Appearing at a small church in Plains, Georgia without fanfare, Carter quietly taught a Sunday school class to hundreds of churchgoers in attendance.
Meanwhile, Texas governor Greg Abbott is not socializing in quiet prayer, but is stuffing the wrath of fear down the throats of gullible right-wing Christians. In a ‘Christian Broadcasting Network’ interview this past August’s last week, Abbott prophesized that “Religious liberty from the Bible and the issues that Christians believe in have become hostile in the mainstream politics, and there is one key reason for it and that’s because the people who attend these congregations or pastor these congregations do not turn out and vote and we are dealing with the consequences by the failure of Christians to go vote.”
In other words, if the proper Republican
Christian doesn’t go out and vote Republican, America is going all to Hell.
Abbott also spoke to a collection of
pastors gathered in Austin for a two day political training seminar hosted by
the conservative ‘American Renewal Project’. In attendance was none other
than presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Abbott’s turning our houses of worship into
political right-wing breeding grounds.
Just this past Friday (08/28/2015) Cruz
prepared a sermon for evangelical pastors encouraging them to preach it to
their congregation. In his quest to defund ‘Planned Parenthood’ and his
encroachment on women’s private lives in denying them quality healthcare
coverage in areas such as pelvic exams, cancer screenings and disease
treatments in which ‘Planned Parenthood’ provides, he’s telling the nation’s
pastors that it is their God given duty to preach this sermon and radicalize
their congregants into shoving women back into primitive roles.
The sermon, titled ‘The Cry of the
Innocent for the Soul of a Nation’ starts off with: “Proverbs provides clear insight into God’s character. He has a personal
hatred for seven things. God judges them to be so odious that they are an
abomination to Him. His character will never allow His hatred of an abomination
to evolve into a toleration of it. His children should be resolved to reflect
His character, not to redefine it.”
It ends with: “After you pray for your life to be back on course, pray for your
Congressmen and Senators to hear from God regarding the ending of the slaughter
of the innocent. Let them know that you are praying for them, and you are
expecting them to do the right thing. You will no longer tolerate any excuse
when they have the chance to vote to end government sponsored support of the
murder and dismemberment of babies in this session of Congress. God hates it.
You can stop it. For God’s sake, make it happen.”
The title and the contents are nothing
but a load of mush. If ya want to read its entirety, click here.
In comparison, President Carter respects
religion in worship without fanfare. Abbott and Cruz along with a whole slew of
other GOP politicians attempt to use religion to their advantage in riling the
flock to arms.
Republican Christianity has bordered
beyond irrationality. Once I could speak with them and end up on amicable
terms…not anymore. It is not that my religious stance has changed, it hasn’t;
it’s that theirs has become more extreme, more hostile, deceitful and
intolerant. This god, guns and connivance just isn’t a goodly mixed elixir.
To state how pro-life they are then in the next breath condemn the poor including their infants is what’s intolerable. When they boast that Republicanism stands for smaller government, yet it is Republican presidential administrations that have raised the national debt nine times more than Democrat presidents going all the way back to 1978, well that’s just plain deceitful. Gloatingly stating that Republicans don’t allow intrusions into private lives when they’re constantly preaching to what women should do to their bodies and legislating laws against LGBT communities that is just plain old snuff too hard to chew.

Of course Republicans glorify the military when sending our soldiers off to fight their opined necessary wars, but when those same soldiers come back haggard and maimed as veterans, Republicans in over a decade have voted against all veterans bills but the last one last year simply because they were finally squeezed into a political suicide corner after the VA scandal had broken out.
In retaliation for a petition on WhiteHouse.gov charging the forty-seven senators signing Senator Joe Cotton’s illicit letter to Iran with treason, right-wingers filed their own petition on the very same website claiming Obama has conducted treasonous and traitorous acts from immigration to the Iran diplomacy agreement.
In their warped sense of mind,
right-wing respondents, conservative blogs/media and authors of the petition
claim since the Obama administration has called for implementing treason
against the forty-seven GOP senators, they feel turnabout is fair play
might be in order here. Problem is, the senate petition was not conducted by
the Obama administration, it was put out by American citizens and posted on the
very same website that the right-wingers also posted on.
On that website, if 100,000 signatures
are accrued the Obama administration will respond to the petition on whether
they will act upon it or not. Both these petitions were put out this past spring.
Once both petitions reached their due date, the forty-seven senator petition
had well over 260,000 signatures whereas the Obama petition had a paltry
showing of well under 10,000 signatures.
Perhaps the low signature amount was due
to the paranoid tendencies Republicans have when it comes to government,
thinking if they signed they would be targeted. But one responder, going by the
moniker of ‘Serena’ appeared to not let that shake her when she commented, “I am not afraid to DIE bringing this evil
man down! He is a traitor, a psychotic, a malignant narcissist and a virulent
racist. Where are the patriots in the Secret Service, the CIA, the FBI and
Special Forces that SHOULD be taking this man down????? Are they all cowards
now? Is it now up to the private militias to save this nation and its
Constitution?”
See, in her mind (wherein lies the
actual “psychotic” measure), as in all right-wingers the only true American
patriot is a white, preferably male evangelical bigot. Even though the
forty-seven GOP senator petition readily surpassed the signature goal, the
Obama administration did the senators a favor and declined to act upon the
petition’s request.
As far as the two petitions go the
senator one was more valid for there are binding grounds the Cotton senatorial
signatured letter broke the 1799 Logan Act that prohibits individuals, whether
they be some members of Congress or the man on the street corner from
negotiating with foreign governments.
Besides, Cotton during a recent visit to
Israel and meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated over
his own president and nation, “I will stand
with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel…”
Of course this statement simply flies
over right-wing radar when it comes to true patriotism as opposed to their warped
sense of white American patriotism.
Loquacious:
Obama’s been roundly criticized for
calling the Republican congress crazies. When attending a Democrat event in
Nevada earlier this month, the president called Mitch McConnell who is
currently the senate majority leader and his senate Republicans “the crazies” and he’s not backing away
from the comment. He has a valid point.
When Republicans do nothing substantive
in legislation and are currently gearing up but once again to shut down the
government, something only terrorist groups dream about achieving, then yes I
think most reasonable minds may contend they are loopy in the head.
As with the GOP U.S. Congress’ extreme
views, Obama had a word to say about Iran’s conservative extremism as well when
he gave a comparison to the two extreme sides in stating:
“I
recognize that resorting to force may be tempting in the face of the rhetoric
and behavior that emanates from parts of Iran. It is offensive. It is
incendiary. We do take it seriously. But superpowers should not act impulsively
in response to taunts, or even provocations that can be addressed short of war.
Just because Iranian hardliners chant “Death to America” does not mean that
that’s what all Iranians believe.”
Obama concludes, “In fact, it’s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status
quo. It’s those hardliners chanting “Death to America” who have been most
opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus.”
Although not too tactful in its
elegance, Obama’s words are factual. During his two terms, Obama has had to put
up with a load of crap from Republicans with their partisan tactic conspiracy
theories, made-up crisis after crisis and melodramas while riling up their
ignorant street base with fear tactics and lying rhetoric. He’s had enough and
is calling out the nut-wads; good for him. His words present every bit of the
truth no matter how they whine and moan.
They can dish it out but can’t take it
themselves…not only do Republicans bash Obama on a daily basis with unjustified
accusations and namecalling, they wouldn’t dare be seen in public beside him or shake his hand while they clamber to
line up in opportunity to pose with Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin
Netanyahu. Now what kind of patriotism does that express…
When Republicans pushed to fund the government at sequester levels after they and their miserably failed financial policies had already wreaked havoc in giving birth to the ‘Great Recession’; yes I’d say their a bit brainsick. When through Republican instigating leadership the government has been threatened to be shut down three times, unless the GOP had their way with one shutdown actually occurring for sixteen days in October of 2013; yes I’d say Republicans are a bit disturbed.
Currently on two fronts, Republicans are manically once again threatening to shut down the government. One, led by Ted Cruz is in the senate if ‘Planned Parenthood’ isn’t totally defunded while the do-nothing House Republicans may shutdown the government in refusing to make a fiscal year 2016 budget.
To yet again suggest another Republican
government shutdown based solely on a faked and forged video that Republican
congressmen prescreened and approved of just before its public exposure is
moronic and contemptuous to the rest of America. Simply put…it’s a disgrace.
Considering the recent ‘Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action’ (JCPOA), the U.S. and Iran hardliner sides are very similar in
nature in refusing diplomacy, instead opting for military conflict. GOP hawkish
hard-noses want a war with Iran and the Iranian branch of hardliners want war
with the perceived U.S. enemy. Both of their talking points have nothing to do
with a “better deal” as the Republican excuse goes. No, it’s not at all about
competing offers over a table on a diplomatic scale; it’s all about a path to
war…not peace. The extremists on both sides want to kill the deal…
With all the incessant GOP obstructions
and endless filibusters one cannot negotiate with the demented, so in Obama’s
evolvement, he realizes that compromise (his true course in his personal
nature) is no longer an objective and has taken a more toughened and necessary
stance when it comes to dealing with Republicans in legislation and policy
making. Jolly good for him…
Now Obama seems to have stepped on some
Koch toes hurting their feelings. During his August 24, 2015 ‘National Clean
Energy Summit’ speech on renewable energy Obama had this to say, “You start seeing massive lobbying efforts
backed by fossil fuel interests, or conservative think tanks, or the Koch
brothers pushing for new laws to roll back renewable energy standards or
prevent new clean energy businesses from succeeding — that’s a problem.”
Now is that or isn’t that the truth? It
is and it direly hurt the wee feelings of Charles Koch for Obama to relay the
truth. Koch immediately announces, “It’s
beneath the president, the dignity of the president, to be doing that.” He
also continues on how “flabbergasted”
he is that a politician, no less the president would have the temerity to
honestly speak about the Koch goings on with their ongoing attacks and waged
war on renewable energy.
Perhaps the Koch Brothers in tandem
conveniently forget that they themselves along with their Koch funded
‘Americans for Prosperity’ and ‘Heritage Action’ and their state legislative
arm ‘American Legislative Exchange Council’ have poured hundreds of millions of
dollars into lobbying congress to repeal and put an end to renewable energy
standards.
So Charlie may feel “flabbergasted” on the president pointing
out the truth, but Charles and David Koch are going to have to realize no
matter how much money they sway, they are still vulnerable by those of ethical
standards to call them out and hit back.
On August 30th, Obama took
down the Alaskan mountain’s name of Mount McKinley and restored its original
Native American name back to Denali. I can see why Ohioans might tend to be a
bit upset as President William McKinley was a native Ohioan for whom the
mountain’s namesake derived from when a gold prospector suggested it, but to
call Obama a dictator for doing so.
Former Representative Ralph Regula
(R-OH) said, “[Obama] thinks he is a
dictator and he can change the law. The law says it’s Mount McKinley, and he
can’t change a law by a flick of the pen.”
Denali, meaning the ‘high one’ is an
Athabascan Indian word in which they have always used in calling the mountain
that is the highest geographical point in all of North America. Alaskans
themselves, even Sarah Palin, still refer to the mountain as Denali. The name
change to Mount McKinley didn’t happen until 1981 when congress approved it.
I do see why Ohioans may be upset, but
they need to consider and put into context this: President McKinley never set a
foot on Alaskan soil and if say some Alaskans wanted the Ohio River changed to
Denali River, an Athabascan word and knowing these American Natives have never
set foot on Ohio’s ground…how then would Ohioans feel? They’d have a legitimate
beef for sure then on this turnabout. So Ohioans, I say to you…let this go, you
will get over it.
Also as of late, President Obama has
designated land and two historical sites as national monuments. One is ‘Browns
Canyon National Monument’, a rugged granite cliff and outcropping preserve in
the ‘Upper Arkansas River Valley’ that holds many whitewater rivers. Another is
the ‘Pullman National Monument’ in Chicago honoring the South Side neighborhood
built by industrialist George Pullman to create affordable housing for his
workers manufacturing railroad sleeping cars. The third is ‘Honoliuli National
Monument’ located in Hawaii on Oahu Island honoring those Japanese Americans
that were interred by the U.S. government during WWII.
Yes Republicans didn’t like these
monuments either as land being set aside safely tucked away from economic development
and exposing some industrial generosities for U.S. workers or the negative aspects of
America’s history.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) publicly told Obama
to “cut it out,” further stating, “He is not king. No more acting like King
Barack.” Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) upset about cutting off development in the
Browns Canyon expressed the monumental designation as “a top-down, big-government land grab by the president that
disenfranchises the concerned citizens in the Browns Canyon region.”
Really? No matter what move this
president takes Republicans will admonish it simply because they govern by
emotion instead of logic. By the way, outdoorsmen are thrilled by the Browns
Canyon designation.
In their partisan principles it is in
the Republican’s reactionary nature to go against the Iran nuclear diplomacy
deal no matter if they can’t come up with an iota of a better alternative;
they’ve even enlisted Dick Cheney to speak on their behalf in going against the
deal. But when GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee accused Obama of
marching Israelis “to the door of the
oven,” in reference to the Nazis concentration camp furnaces, it is beyond
incredulous. For Tom Cotton to proclaim Secretary of State John Kerry, who was
the main negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal, as Pontius Pilate is beyond
absurdity.
When will it end? When will it ever end...
When will it end? When will it ever end...
Bruised
Bunions:
Below is an excerpt taken from a
right-wing blog site called ‘From the Right’. The thread (well I call it a
thread, but it more-like turned into a steel cable) is between me and a typical
right-wing member. The article was concerning evolution, but as usual, no
matter the article’s content, these conservative threads always ignore the
topic and divert right into using it as a pedestal for divulging in all the
anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-democratic and anti-justice this president and
all “libturds” are. I find it funny how they accuse all liberals in lying by
actually lying in making that statement. This guy at one point even sends one
comment to himself instead of me…don’t quite know what that was all about,
except for the fact he knew the receiver of his reply (which is himself) would
totally agree with himself.
We don't evolve
because NotJim and people like him are liberal/progressives and instead of
evolving they are working their way backwards. I'll guess we'll see if
evolution is true or not when the liberal/progressives take to the trees and
finally prove that the far left have remained monkeys but have just changed
their physical appearance.
It's idiots who make
statements without any knowledge behind it that are taking us all back to
primal states...
Thank you. Once in
awhile truth does come from the far left. You're absolutely right, your
statements are devoid of knowledge and mimic the constant drone of the dark,
dark ages.
Say Robert, then let's get down to
brass tacks...
Instead of slinging slurs, let's start
backing our words with substantive facts. Pick a topic...any subject...evolution,
the national debt/deficit, the economy, job creation, Obamacare...anything, you
pick it and I'll gladly discuss it with ya.
So fire away
cowpunch...
I'd love to start
with Planned Parenthood and the abortion president but that will come later.
How about Job creation:
Forbes 10/2014: "Here is the stunning statistic on the economy that tells the whole story about why we aren't growing faster. Since Barak Obama entered the Oval Office in January 2009, the percentage of the working age population actually part of the labor force (either working or looking for work) has plummeted by 3 percentage points - to 62.7%. Not since early 1978 has such a low proportion of the working-age population been in the working force. In effect, the labor force is 7.4 million smaller than it otherwise would have been had people either not stopped looking for work or, particularly with the case of younger Americans, simply failed to start looking for work. In effect, nearly as many Americans have either left the work force - or never entered - in this recovery than have found a job. That's a very distressing trend. It also explains the big dive in the official government rate to 5.9%".
This in not surprising coming from the corrupt and manipulative liar-in-chief. What is it to him to manipulate the true unemployment figures?
The jobs that are being created are all low paying service worker jobs that encourage filing for Food Stamps, Welfare and whatever other entitlements that give you more than if you were working. But that's okay by this president he will just distribute income to continue with his community organization entitlement ideology. All the good paying jobs are disappearing on a daily basis either to other countries because of the strangulation on businesses that this administration has written into law, or because people aren't making enough money working the Obama jobs to be able to afford to build a house, or buy a car, or go on a vacation. But this community organizer has already told us that all the other nations in the world are just as exceptional as America and America needs to be taken down to their level. He's doing a great job of fundamentally transforming America.
Now a lot of young people are out of work and some of them have become professional protestors and agitators.
Let's here the far left liberal blame game excuses on how this was all the fault of George Bush!!

Let's here the far left liberal blame game excuses on how this was all the fault of George Bush!!
Your opening statement already reveals
your contempt attitude and bias thoughts. Legal abortions have been going on
throughout Democrat and Republican presidencies since the early '70's...in fact
Roe v Wade was handed down under Nixon's (a Republican) term...why not call him
the abortion president...Secondly, ya give nothing on why Obama would be solely
responsible for lack of job creation.
When Obama took office, the nation was
hemorrhaging over 800,000/month job losses sending the jobless rate up anywhere
between 9.9-10% unemployment...we are currently hovering around 5.3%
unemployment with 67 consecutive weeks of job creation in the private sector.
Now, how ya can blame Obama on the aging workforce factor is beyond me.
For that matter, under Obama’s
presidency more private sector jobs have been created than in any other
presidency and that includes beating out Reagan in which jobs created were
primarily in government positions.
Yepper sports fan...most jobs are now
currently lower wage and non sustaining wages due strictly to Republican
policies...vetoing job bills and the minimum pay scale and destroying unions
that are only a mere 23% of their once input in representing the American
worker...the W. Bush administration actually instructing his Labor Dept. to
break the law in sending a letter to corporate CEOs in how they could bypass
paying overtime. Oh yeah, Florida's skeleton of a governor Rick Scott along
with his Republican legislation even tried passing a law where employers do not
have to pay their employers any overlooked payments due them, until they got
busted by the 'Fair Labors Standard Act'.
Say cowpunch, do ya even know the percentage
of tax payer dollars going to welfare as opposed to defense or other political
pet projects. According to someone making $50,000 in one year that American
taxpayer pays $6.98 to welfare, $3.98 to natural disaster relief (FEMA),
$247.75 to defense and a whopping $4,000.00 to corporate subsidies. So it seems
you will whine and bellyache about spending a mere $6.98 for those in true need
just to survive, but apparently corporate welfare is all so cheesy in handing
over $4,000.00 of taxpayer money to corporations that don't need it...A tad bit
hypocritical in ethics...don't ya think...
Sure instead of blaming poverty why not
blame the poor that are down on their luck in losing their mortgages, life
savings, pensions and jobs due to Republican regulatory policies...and yes your
danged right I blame the one responsible. If a father told his 8-yr-old to go
punch a 2-yr-old toddler in the nose...who in the world would blame the
8-yr-old...it is the dad who is to blame...got that.
"Manipulative
liar-in-chief" ya say...well there ya go again...showing ignorance and
shallow rhetoric without an ounce of proof...when did Obama outright lie, as if
other presidents haven't...but go ahead, name an outright lie...
The typical false
narrative that every liberal spews because that is what you are told to do. Not
one word on youth un-employment and the youth and out of work middle-aged and
seniors giving up looking for work. Of course it's republicans and
conservatives faults as I predicted you would blame. It's the way of the
lemming. Don't forget cowgirl when you live by the lie you die by the lie and
the lie is all that you liberal progressives rely on.
It's hilarious that after almost 7 years of failed Obama policies you continue to run and hide and do what every dishonest and corrupt liberal democrat has always done blame, blame and blame again.
Outright lie # 1 - "if you like your insurance plan, you can keep your insurance plan". As the liar-in-chief was pushing the tremendously unpopular legislation now well known as "Obamacare", at least 37 different times he promised that - If you like your insurance plan you can keep your insurance plan. Even the liberal media could not ignore it. This was LIE OF THE YEAR IN 2013. After cancellation letters were sent to 4 million Americans the public finally realized his breezy assurances were wrong. Think now slick, who can you blame that on? I'm sure you'll come up with something as you peruse your copy of Rules For Radicals. Perhaps you can get help from one of your pathetic far left liberal college professors.
Lie # 2 - "With Obamacare we will reduce your insurance premiums by $2,500, per family per year". The liar-in-chief promised repeatedly (at least 22 times) that Obamacare would reduce our premiums by $2500.00 per year. Guess what sunshine, it was a LIE. The exact opposite has happened. Average premiums have skyrocketed, for some groups as much as 78%. And that's not counting co-pays and deductibles. Now who can you blame that on? I know Ronald Reagan. You idiot!!!
Lie # 3 - "I cannot pass amnesty through executive action... I am not a dictator". At least 22 times the liar-in-chief said he couldn't do executive amnesty himself. Then he implemented a scheme via executive fiat. "In bypassing Congress, the liar-in-chief blatantly ignored the rule of law that is the foundation of our democracy and violated his presidential oath to uphold the laws of this land". But what's breaking the law as president as long as it fits his anti-American ideology and pays back America for being a bad country. Let's think a minute, oh yeah swilly, you can blame the original founding fathers for creating this terrible country. Traitor.
Lie # 4 - Not one dime of Obamacare will go for abortions. In spite of repeated promises that Obamacare would not pay for abortions, it is now clear that the liar-in-chief, wait for it, wait for it -- LIED at least 12 times. In spite of repeated promises that Obamacare would not pay for abortions, it is now clear that the liar-in-chief lied The GAO confirmed that the liar-in-chief lied about this and in fact,1,036 Obamcare plans pay for abortions. Remember the Little Sisters of the Poor Mr. Howdy? They were forced to file a class action mandate to obtain a judgement so they could refrain from providing access to abortion-inducing drugs. You can blame that one on Pope Francis.
Lie # 5 - It was not my decision to pull all the troops from Iraq. His 2012 reelection run found the liar-in-chief taking credit for "ending the war in Iraq". His total lack of foreign policy has been catching up to him on a daily basis. Already he has sent more American soldiers back over to Iraq and thanks to his total ineptness, that he proves on the job every day, who are you going to blame for the beheadings, enslavement, forced relocation, terrorized and tortured innocents since the liar-in chief has perpetrated by his inhuman decisions?
Your lies and excuses will be expected.

Your lies and excuses will be expected.
Look ingrate, I'm not going to say
Obama has never lied, but for you and all other imbeciles who give him the
title of "liar-in-chief" is not only distinguishing stupidity in your
character, but it's "hilarious" to folks of reason; especially when
comparing him to other presidents and their lies.
"Failed policies"...there ya
go again, slinging out slobbering accusations that are baseless. Let's compare:
W. threw money out and at America's
motor companies in the car manufacturer bailout with no restrictions, except to
say 'just fix it'. Obama set up regulatory guidelines and outlines on how the
money was to be spent and report in on the recordings of financial statements.
End result...America still has its own cars with GM alone employing 202,000
workers along with salvaging all the small business contractors and their
employees that cater to the car industry. Which one failed...which one
didn't...
Give one policy of his that has failed
and the reason it has failed...I know of a couple, but you give one that is not
straight out of Breitbart or the RNC website.
1) & 2) Obama did not lie, he was
simply relaying on how it was originally setup to be, but he was naive.
Regardless of all the right-wing rhetoric that the ACA is a government
takeover, it is ran by private company health insurers...this is what Obama
didn't take into account and they are the ones that raised premiums as they
have always done. But now under the law, not as high a rate as they
traditionally have done. According to the non-profit Kaiser Foundation:
“Premiums increased more slowly over the past five years than the preceding
five years (26 percent vs. 34 percent) and well below the annual double-digit
increases recorded in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This year’s increase also
is similar to the year-to-year rise in worker’s wages (2.3 percent) and general
inflation (2 percent). So, if you want to whine about a below 3% rate in
healthcare increases, you should've been sobbing uncontrollably when
traditionally they were well over 30%...ten times more.
3) Sure...let's just skip over what
Reagan and H W Bush conducted in giving 3 million illegals amnesty. Reagan and
Bush’s unilateral actions were simply fixes to the 1986 immigration law that
granted green cards to 3 million undocumented (illegal) immigrants. The major
priority of immigration law is deterrence. That's why Reagan's executive order
and H W's continuation of it acted on immigration and that is why Obama did so
as well in his executive. In applying the framework of Obama’s executive
action, the law supports the administration’s position. The change in
immigration policy may remove a deterrent for foreigners considering illegally
immigrating to the U.S., but the drop in deterrence is minimal, since the potential
beneficiaries of Obama’s action must have lived in the U.S. continuously for
many years. Foreigners cannot come into the country illegally under the
expectation that the president will soon grant them protection from
deportations. What Republicans despise about it though is that it allows
undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows, work legally, and receive
legal protections under U.S. law. Immigrants no longer have to worry about a
discriminatory immigration system. Maybe most importantly, the new policy will
prevent families from being torn apart—which was an underscored theme behind
Reagan and Bush’s executive actions. So, since Obama's executive action is
based on prosecutorial discretion which leads to deterrence...as long as Obama,
or any president is implementing the law in line with congressional
priorities—as Obama is—his actions are legal...
4) Fact: Public funding for abortions
is intricately structured. Under the Hyde Amendment, federal funds cannot be
used for elective abortions under Medicaid-funded plans. Some states do pay 100
percent of the cost of elective abortions without passing on any cost to the
federal government. Period. Got that...
5) It was an
agreement by W. Bush administration and Iraq under the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces
Agreement that had a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the
United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory." As far as
leaving a residual amount of U.S. soldiers that collapsed under Iraq's refusal
to protect our soldiers from reprisals, Obama had all military removed as
originally stated under the W. agreement. Soldiers sent back to Iraq since the
ISIL uprising are non-combatant and strictly there for observation and military
advice. So what your point is here is quite unclear on how Obama makes the mark
of your morose moniker of "liar-in-chief."
When are you going to
take some responsibility for your own actions? The liar-in-chief has, in so
many words, told us that he's the smartest man in the world. Why can't the
smartest man in the world at least try and correct the past republican
mistakes? Why do you keep on blaming your failures on everyone but yourselves?
The reason why is a plain as the nose on your lemming face, because Obama is
not presidential material, he is so far in over his head that, if it wouldn't be
so dangerous for America, it would be comical. There are a few things that he
has perfected though, the big lie being one of them but he had to have help
from other American hating radicals, the song and dance as he is one hell of a
speaker but his words speak much, much louder than his actions and finally he
has perfected the blame game.
Now we have illegals invading our nation and he is doing nothing to stop it except giving them names like dreamers. These are not immigrants. Immigrants go through a procedure to enter America and then assimilate into American society by swearing allegiance to our nation. These people coming in are breaking laws that are not being enforced. We guard the Canadian border, why not the border to our south? Because the democrats want votes and the republicans want cheap labor, so Americans become so much collateral damage. Where is the liar-in-chiefs pen and phone when we need it the most? Stopping the invasion of our nation. The nations that hate America are behind all of the invasion going on because they know what the end result will be, the ruination of America. Our president is in league with them.

Had to oafishly go back to mouthing
spewage again without any substance didn't ya...just bigoted, angry and
rhetorical spite over our duly elected president of the United States. I don't
know what color your flag is but mine is red, white and blue. No true patriot
would ever, not only be condemning, but falsely accusing the president of
baseless scenarios. You should be proud of how far we've come since the 'Great
Recession' years, but no, you have to cry and latch onto any ideology no matter
how false it is; just as long as it pets your beliefs.
Right now, Republicans are gearing up
to shutdown the government again, something any terrorist group would love to
achieve. Incessantly insisting you are the true American and all others of
color, different religion or social standing are not is pitiful and vulgar.
Obama's only real
failure is that he has not failed, so makeup all the gaffe ya want to feed your
disdain of him.
Keep holding onto your anger by fueling it with lies...that type of life doesn't last too long though…
Give me a break. You
are a lemming with absolutely no facts to back you up so there you go again
accusing me of telling the truth. This president has lost all respect from the
majority of we the people. All you liberals have to hang your hats on is
abortion, gay marriage and Rules For Radicals.
You are a hypocrite with no facts to back up your blind support of the worst president in the history of our nation. This government needs to be shut down. The liar-in-chief is spending 3.3 billion dollars a day on what? On the bankruptcy of America. He claims the deficit is going down. What does that matter when he has increased our debt by over 11 trillion dollars and counting since he came into office and sends our tax money to nations that hate us?
You people don't care about the future of America. All you care about is making America into just another socialist/marxist cesspool.
You are pathetic and treasonous. America needs people like you to leave and ruin another county other than ours. You are not an American

You are not a true

and over that he cannot be trusted.
Roberto, here it is again...not one
attempt to enlighten us all in a rebuttal attempt to substantially disprove
what I wrote...maybe it is simply because ya don't know how to discourse with
truth, but one things for sure ya certainly jump back into your comfort zone of
frothing out abject insinuations that any one babe could do when throwing a
tantrum. The only point taken is that the babe is angry.
Ya got nothing...you're unhinged in
wasting close to a decade in fuming about your president, ya know the one that
same president who, you in cowardly fashion claim to be a foreign born, Muslim,
communist, Nazi, Gay dictator.
You've full blown yourself up into a
frothing as the mouthpiece...for your GOP said they would impeach the traitor
but didn't...ever wonder why cowpunch? There simply aren't any grounds for
impeachment. If giving executive orders is grounds for treason, then ya'd
better start whining about W. and Reagan for both of them have thrown out a lot
more than Obama ever has...even concerning immigration amnesty...
Your loving GOP said they would nail
him under the trumped up Benghazi ruse, but they didn't...ever wander why on
that one too Skippy?
Sure it was a tragedy...4 Americans
died...but what about the 54 folks who died under the W./Cheney administration
from terrorist U.S. embassy attacks...where was the outrage there...ever wonder
that Skippy? Or how about the 221 (including U.S. Marines who died under the
Marine barracks and embassy attacks in Lebanon under the Reagan administration
where Reagan actually cut and ran because at the time he was doing business
with Iran (who actually supported the terrorists who conducted the bombings) in
supporting the Contras. Ever wander cowpunch? Where in the hell are the screams
of investigations for this Lebanon incident?
Probably not for your a bigoted angry
soul where the rhetorical mythical mindset you harbor blinds ya from the truth.
Point is Democrats didn't make these episodes into a political charade...it
brought them together with the rest of country to fight this tide...not to
divide us. But that's why ya don't much hear about it...even if ya did
though...you'd still scream Benghazi traitor but Reagan hero, because see; that
blindness that stinging to the soul's core bigoted blindness keeps ya stumbling
and you will fall tumbling down sooner than later...
Ya really need to quit amusing yourself
as being the real American and shooing everyone else out of the country. The
American Indian is the first American...that's why they call American Indians Native
Americans. Just feel lucky that they don't have your greedy little
attitude...or you'd be packing your immigrant bags for the exit borders...
Just a lost soul
swimming in a fish bowl thinking that this is all there is to life...to merely
crab while whining and moaning...
You are not a true
American. Nothing you say can be trusted. End of conversation.
Says who
cowpunch...those who can't handle the truth...now it’s ended...
"Do not waste words on a fool, he
will not appreciate the shrewdness of your remarks". (Proverbs 23:9)
"As a dog returns to its vomit, so
a fool reverts to his folly". (Proverbs 26:11)
No more needs to be
said to a fool such as you. A blind fool to the truth of what is happening to
America. A fool who continues to use lies and falsehoods to promote the
foolishness, immorality and dishonesty to perpetuate destruction.
True Americans love
their country. The far left has proven again and again that they cannot be
trusted to lead America because they want to fundamentally transform it. Why
the need to transform the greatest nation on earth?
Roberto, I do rightly s'pose face to
face that your manners would be a tad more civil, but nonetheless you just
described yourself in your last comment to a tee...
Don’t go quoting biblical
passages…you’re no more Christian than I am and I claim no holdings to any
religion. But if ya want to quote, in considering Republicans pushing for war
with Iran while Obama is contending for peaceful diplomacy… Seek peace and pursue
it. (Psalm 34:14). Do ya even know what Jesus emphasized in his Mount of Olives
sermon? Probably not in your warped sense of Christianity, but it was, “Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God,” (Matthew 5:9).
Tell me where I lied
and I'll give three in response where you actually did cowpunch...
You are complicit in
the lies of the corrupt and immoral leadership in the White House. You don't
want to debate you just want to repeat the same old, same old
liberal/progressive talking points that have worn out their usage. I've given
you the facts on how you are backing an anti-American president who has
corrupted and continues to corrupt our Constitution and the rule of law.
Open your eyes there Texie and look at all of the lawsuits filed against the liar-in-chief and his tyrannical rule.
Open your eyes there Texie and look at all of the lawsuits filed against the liar-in-chief and his tyrannical rule.
See…ya still can't say where I
lied...only accuse. Only I do want to debate but you refuse, instead going back
to your baseless rhetoric.
Is this all ya got. Name one law suit
with any legitimacy to it...it's the idiots who simply disdain the president
filing frivolous lawsuits and for the couple that actually made it to SCOTUS
lost with a conservative majority court no less.
Yepper cowpunch...I do want to debate
and when debating with a cognizant participant, if they prove me wrong with
pertinent substance, I'm man enough to admit it and go on...it's called
learning and not blindly clinging to bogus personal beliefs in dire search for any
lies to stroke personal fears and appeasement of personal prejudice.
When ya merely go by
personal belief that is not substantiated by no actual factual argument...then
you mock, attack with spewage and spread fairy tales, for ya see that's all ya
have...ya got nothing but harbored fear and constant anger; no nothing but
blame in blatantly accusing all else for your woes (the president, the poor,
minorities, immigrants) while slinging your school playground mud on any given
soggy day...
Just like Roberto above, a vast majority
of Republican voters just can’t quite grasp onto reality. For ya see, as
explained above, the GOP politician works for the benefit of its wealthy base
while attracting fearful and biased voters to pit them against other voters
that understand the Republican game being played out.
It appears as though they just can’t help themselves. Republican characteristics in irrational thinking and as filtering bottom feeders when it comes to ethics are inherent in their personality makeups.
Folate is not to be confused with folic
acid as is all too often the case. Folate has a deprotonated ion due to
electron alignment while folic acid is a neutral nonionized molecule. Where
folate is found naturally in foods, folic acid does not occur naturally but is
derived synthetically as an oxidized compound. The confusion comes from the
biochemistry of folate in that it can be considered as an ester or salt of
folic acid even though it does not come from the acid.
There is a big difference in the two
when ingested. The body recognizes folate and readily metabolizes it into
tetrahydrofolate (THF) in the small intestines’ mucosa region. When ingested
folic acid gives the liver a hard time in trying to reduce and methylate the
acid finally forming not THF, but a lower energy level enzyme known as
dihydrofolate reductase. This enzyme in conjunction with an excess amount of unreduced
folic acid in the bloodstream can develop cancer by stimulating the growth
rates of neoplasms and can also lead to central nervous system malfunction. Of
course on the other hand folates are essential to a healthy mind and body. So
do not trust in buying folic acid supplements, even though you don’t know the
difference…simply eat foods rich in folate.
In the area of quantum physics there is
a special class of continuous phase transitioning that takes place in
electronics at near absolute zero temperature levels. This class of transitioning electrons is
known as quantum critical points or QCP. On either side of the point, electrons
behave as traditionally expected. But once they reach the critical point electrons
break down all traditional physical laws in exerting polarized exotic quantum
fluctuations.
The reason I’m stating the above is not to give a science lecture here, but to compare how liberals and conservatives respond differently to the same stimulant. The folate/folic acid difference is on an atomic level in electron transference, so as in ‘electron particles’, thus goes the same route as ‘eclectic politics’. At QCP, electrons polarized at the ‘critical point’ will behave much like people in political ‘hot button issues’ polarizing elections and issues.

At QCP, electrons polarized at the ‘critical point’ will behave much like people in political ‘hot button issues’ polarizing elections and issues.
So, to wrap this all up, there have been
numerous studies conducted, such as Ryoto Kanai’s group at the ‘University
College London’ and the ‘University of Arkansas’ ‘Low Effort thought Promotes
Political Conservatism’ studies that have the same conclusion in alluding to the
fact that biochemistry is a route to political orientation. Research in these
studies point to the fact that substantial differences in the cognitive
behaviors of liberals and conservatives is inherently induced on a
psychological level as well as a biochemical.
MRI scans of participants with various
political backgrounds showed conservatives with larger and more stimulated
amygdalae in the brain portion, while the liberal leaning possessed a larger
portion of gray matter in the anterior singulate cortex brain region that
expressed higher activity levels.
The amygdala (singular) is the primitive portion
of the brain that primarily controls our emotions and response to emotive stimuli.
The anterior singulate cortex induces abstract reasoning. Therefore conservatives
react more to emotion while liberals are geared towards more intellectual
reasoning.
In the research of one study, conservatives responded in kind psychologically to the biochemical end of their
more utilized amygdalae brain portion by exhibiting lower IQ and much less tolerance
while being more sensitive to disgust. Liberals on the other hand show more
intelligence in dealing with uncertainty showing a higher level of acceptance
and tolerance.
This is why a conservative with a mild personality turns grumpy when it comes to politics and why a liberal with a grumpy personality turns mild when it comes to politics.
So when you get so confounded on how anyone could vote Republican to conservative issues that adversely affect their lives just remember, after GOP politicians have stoked fears to feed on the right-wing base of self-induced ignorance and bigotry, they just flat-out cannot help themselves.

Haberdashery:
Trinkets, li’l junkets, pins ‘n’ needles
is all the GOP presidential candidates are offering to entice their uninformed
base but they’re buying. That base composed primarily of fundamentalist
Christians, old white cantankerous males, uneducated bigots, the rich and corporate;
the GOP candidates are talking their heads off, but not of pertinent issues
such as worker benefits, public affairs and infrastructure transport, no and
yet although they are political they aren’t even speaking politics, but in loud
tones of rhetorical ideologue they’re hammering in on honing into the fears and
biases of their base pawns.
Can anyone recall during the GOP first
debate what substantive policy issues the candidates would pursue? Was there
anything of substance besides rhetoric and social jargon? How about foreign
policy or does only the bickering shouting match between Trump and Fox News’
Megan Kelly only come to mind?
There’s nothing really that Republicans
should be ashamed of in Trump leading their charge in that they should be wholly
shameful unto themselves, for Mr. Trumpet is merely a Republican mirror. ‘Frankentrump’ is the GOP’s own creationist nightmare
and it’ll come back nationally biting them hard in their li’l rumps.
Trump has really stamped a Quahadis onto
the Republican fanny perpendiculars. He wasn’t supposed to do much, if any at
all. He was supposed to make a stage appearance, take a bow then exit. What the
GOP forgot is that Trump has the verve in being an entertainer and as long as
he is also being entertained, he’s going to hang onto that presidential pulpit.
But for the more extreme right candidates,
as the likes of Cruz, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry there are only so much Tea
Party voters to go around; while for the RINOS such as Jeb!, Walker and John
Kasich corporate will pay, for they have untold dollars to give, but only to
those they feel can win. Trump is currently sucking most all of these votes in
and appears to be steaming forth unabated.
In countering the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, Republicans are coming up with their own phrases of ‘White Lives Matter’ and ‘All Lives Matter’. Well of course they do, but you cannot say ‘Poor Lives Don’t Matter’, ‘Immigrant Lives Don’t Matter’, ‘Non-Christian Lives Don’t Matter’ and ‘Criminal Lives Don’t Matter’ all in the same breath. With that extreme conservative psyche creeping into Republican mythical thought, division arises and there’s goes the crumbling down of American society’s foundation and fabric of liberty for all.
Yes all lives matter, but Republicans
are missing out on the point. No one needs to be reminded that white lives
matter, but here in America, with all the historical prejudice that has been
spilled, some still need reminding that black lives do matter.
Black lives for the moment and
throughout America’s history have not mattered and have had their humanity
taken from them. No matter how you want to justify or ignore, just like the
Nazis in finding a scapegoat with the Jews, a section of America has demeaned
the humanity of race. With arrogant ideological beliefs, this section is
irrationally convinced in creating and maintaining an unjust system that is
exclusive. That section is without doubt tied into current Republican politics.
At this very moment Rep. Pete Sessions
(R-TX) is pushing a bill through congress supposedly to address and halt the
diversity of race in America. He’s doing so for he blames gun violence in
America on the nation’s diversity of people and culture.
This is hard to fathom; Sessions is a ten term congressman and heads the powerful ‘House Rules Committee’. Instead of concentrating on more guns and sophisticated weaponry entering American streets as the reason for America’s out of control gun violence, Sessions blames it all on multiculturalism and diversity in race. He even blames the Virginia reporter shootings on immigrants when Vester Flanagan, who was behind the two reporters’ murders was born in America to American parents.

Diversity is what has added to America’s
strength in ideas and technology, so I find Session’s primitive analogy for
America’s ills as amazingly goofy. The audio clip below is a sampling of Sessions
being interviewed by WBAP AM radio conservative host, Chris Salcedo. Click on
the SOUNDCLOUD audio below and hear for yourself.
This monkey cage all Republican
politicians have locked themselves into in catering to their extreme right-wing
and corporate base, is going to be a long term prison sentence; the key to the
jailed bar door has been lost.
In Ronald Reagan paraphrasing a Thomas
Jefferson quote, in 1981 he said, “If we
are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of
every American to be informed.”
Now if only Republicans would heed their
semi-deity’s words…
