Re: Wingnutties out of control!
Good news for Republicans, assuming that the Democrats win in 2016:
We are statistically closer to the next recession than to the last one.

This morning the Pentagon announced that the United States has captured a leader responsible for the Benghazi attacks. Republicans were ecstatic and said, "So, they finally got Hillary?"

Welfare bums who dressed in polo shirts and shorts, sans beards and ball caps, before donning the fake mossy oak and other accouterments of accepted redneckery. A 100% fabricated production.

Re: Wingnutties out of control!
christian? wingnuts
The students who attend Bob Jones University, one of the most conservative Christian colleges in the country, say that they’re often traumatized after seeking counseling from school administrators on the issue of sexual assault. According to an Al Jazeera investigation, Bob Jones staff members have responded to allegations of rape by telling rape victims they should repent for their sins.
Katie Landry, who was raped by a coworker several times during the summer before she started attending Bob Jones, didn’t tell anyone about her assault for several years. She was deeply ashamed and failed most of her classes her first year of school. When she eventually sought counseling, the dean of students told her that “we have to find the sin in your life that caused your rape.”
“He confirmed my worst nightmare — it was something I had done, it was something about me, it was my fault,” Landry said in an interview with Al Jazeera’s program America Tonight. The dean also asked her if she had done anything “impure” or smoked pot.
“I think they should have not heaped more shame on me. Because I was already filled to the brim with shame. I didn’t need any more,” Landry added.
Other students, who opted to speak to Al Jazeera anonymously, shared similar stories. One student says her school counselor told her to ask her rapist for forgiveness. “I would say that the impact of the two years of counseling I had with her is that I felt like I had been raped all over again,” that student recounted.
It’s not the first time that the fundamentalist institution — which teaches a literal interpretation of the Bible and expels students for having premarital sex — has been exposed for mishandling sexual assault. A previous Al Jazeera investigation documented similar cases of students who felt like the so-called “fortress of fundamentalism” was blaming them for their own rapes.
And in 2011, a Bob Jones trustee was forced to resign after allegations emerged that he hadcovered up the rape of a 15-year-old girl. He also made the girl apologize to her church congregation for being raped. After that scandal, Bob Jones hired GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment), a consulting group that helps religious institutions review their sexual assault policies, to conduct an outside investigation. More than 100 students came forward to share their stories of sexual assault with GRACE. But the school made headlines again when it abruptly fired GRACE before the review was completed and re-hired the group a month later.
Bob Jones isn’t the only right-wing institution that’s struggled with issues of sexual assault. Nonetheless, some of those Christian colleges aren’t required to follow the federal lawsintended to address campus rape because they don’t get any of their funding from the government.
Conservative approaches to sexuality can often create environments where victim-blaming is prevalent. “You’re worthless if you’ve been abused,” one anonymous student told Al Jazeera. Last year, Elizabeth Smart — the kidnapping and sexual abuse victim who was raised in the Mormon community — made national headlines for expressing the same sentiment, pointing out that an overemphasis on purity ultimately makes rape victims feel worthless. Smart said that’s exactly why she felt “dirty and filthy” after she was sexually assaulted, and now works to make sure that other rape victims feel supported rather than shamed.

That's just the fundamentalist compulsion to objectify and suborn women. It sure ain't exclusive to those bastards at BJU.

Obama Trying To Change The Law To Give Himself Third Term
It is so painfully easy to frighten the tea-cattle and whip them into a frenzy. Dumbasses.

Impossible. Everyone knows Obama doesn't actually want to be president.Vrede wrote:
In all seriousness though, The "Obama/Martial Law" allegations are starting to crop up, just as the Bush/Martial Law allegations did.
I would be more worried if they didn't pop up at all, because then that means the president's plan is going undiscovered and we'll soon be under martial law.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.

Re: Wingnutties out of control!
I'd be willing to bet that the wingnuts would still be out of control under martial law. My only experience with it was in the Phillipines in about 1975; you had to be off the streets by midnight or risk being accosted, beaten, killed, and otherwise messed with. I was trying to comply with the curfew but, alas, was acutely under the influence of alcohol and was waylaid by a young woman who urged me to "go with me"......so I did. Come daylight, I'm alone in a concrete block house and my watch and money are missing....I don't know where I am, it's hot, I'm thirsty, chickens are walking around making noises that make my head hurt.....martial law sucks. If Obama so much as mentions it, I will drastically change my opinion of him.

Re: Wingnutties out of control!
There hasn't been so much as a hint of Obama planning such a thing. Not even when 300,000 Tea Partiers were going to march on Washington to overthrow the government.neoplacebo wrote:If Obama so much as mentions it, I will drastically change my opinion of him.
Of course the far right believes the martial law is imminent even when a Republican is in the White House. Far-right publisher WorldNetDaily - quickly parroted by a hundred right-wing blogs - constantly claimed that Bush II was going to implement martial law Real Soon Now.

Re: Wingnutties out of control!
It would seem the far right has persuaded the GOP leadership to "sue" the president for alleged abuse of executive power. After I got up off the floor from laughing about it, I decided it was just another bullshit stunt from the clown car. The whole thing makes me want to get high on drugs and do a bunch of irresponsible and dangerous things. Shit.

The GOP idiots are like Dan Snyder, who has gone through 8 coaches in 14 years. Hire one, rip him to pieces, undermine his management, micro-manage his decisions and then fire him in disgrace when he has a losing record (or in some instances when he has a winning record) all the time pissing off his fan base.neoplacebo wrote:It would seem the far right has persuaded the GOP leadership to "sue" the president for alleged abuse of executive power.

If Babes are very important to you for emotional and physical reasons,
consider those foreign born. Chinese, Korean, Indian etc. females are
usually very attractive and don't come w/a chip on their shoulder like
most of our females. This is because the former grew up in cultures
where their ass wasn't kissed 24/7/365 and they understand their
role in life, unlike much of our female assholery, who think the sun
rises and falls because of them.
