C-SPAN Caller: I'm So Mad About Health Bill Passing, I Took My Christmas Tree Down! (AUDIO)

Commented Dec 24, 2009 at 19:54:17 in Politics

“Yes, I'm sure GOD wants all those unfortunate enough to become ill to perish because the wealthiest nation on EARTH is too greedy and ignorant to take care of their own. I'm sure Bunny and her fellow CHRISTIANS can find a few passages in the Bible to bear this out. We are truly doomed if Bunny and her like minded friends are what passes for Christians these days. Remember, it was conservatives who crucified and murdered Jesus of Nazareth because he was too liberal and wanted to help the poor and less fortunate. They were afraid he would become too powerful and they might loose their some of their wealth. Gee, what has changed?”

“To all the working stiffs out there (at least the ones who still have jobs), just bend over while the banks and the insurance companies take their turns screwing you. They're actually making the oil companies look good these days. They have fully purchased the United States congress and it was so easy and cheap too. I had some hope that the Democrats would stand up to the crooks in the Republican party, which amounts to about 98% of the party. At least they make no bones about being whores to the highest bidder. They know who signs their bribe checks. But if we can't get the party of the working class to actually represent us, we are on the way to third world status. There is no where else to turn for help. I guess when the streets are full of the silent majority who have finally lost everything they worked for all their lives, we might get some sympathy. But I wouldn't count on it.”

“Excellent comment! (And very accurate.) FANNED.

Senator Russ Feingold seems to be the only Senator out there with REAL common sense and REAL good ideas. He and John McCain (yeah, that John McCain) tried to introduce Campaign Finance Reform but they couldn't get it done. Campaign contributions are the root of a majority of problems we have today in the good old US of A.

Maybe it's time to start writing letters to Russ Feingold asking him to run.

One man, running on campaign finance reform, would win by a landslide after what we the people have endured over the past 30 years.

We want Russ. We want Russ. We want Russ.”

Shatner Grills Limbaugh About Health Care On "Raw Nerve" (VIDEO)

“What kind of country would we be living in if Rush were the president? All the loudmouth conservatives claim to be such super Christians but they're just the spawn of Scrooge. Just the term 'Conservative Christian' is such an oxymoron. Most are just hateful, greedy, mean spirited, phony complainers who never contribute anything positive to this country but are perfectly glad to benefit from the labor and toil of those who are less fortunate. Rush is a disgrace to the human race yet he fancies himself as some kind of all knowing, 'talent on loan from God' expert on every subject and is a perfect example of what is wrong with what passes for conservatism these days. If there is a heaven, Rush and his acolytes certainly won't be there.”

“Why do you think we made sure Saddam Hussein was hung so quickly and OBL is still at large. They know way too much about the Bush's and their involvement in all kinds of corruption in the Middle East. Halliburton was near bankruptcy 6 months before 9/11 so the 'war on terror' was the best thing that could ever happen for them and all the other contractors, an open-ended milking of the system with no-bid contracts the norm. War Inc. is what is happening to the US and we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future. The NeoCons have created their version of the New World Order, which was just about their profits in the first place, and that involves the Bush's going back to Prescott.”

Ed Begley Jr. Flips Out On Fox: Climate Change Is Real (VIDEO)

Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 12:18:04 in Green

“When it's snowing in Vegas but it's 80 degrees in Toronto in January, I think a sane person would have to say there is something going on. My unscientific clue that we are suffering from climate change is Mother Nature. When an armadillo, a desert creature, is able to migrate as far as northern Missouri, then it believes it can survive in the new climate. This doesn't happen overnight but is part of a long term change in climate. And when the glaciers are finally gone from the mountain tops, millions of people will either have to migrate down or face death. But the deniers don't want to see this as most are just worried about themselves or the costs. Money (i.e. greed)is what drives most of them. Or just plain ignorance. Gee, they must be mostly Republicans.”

Of course, Roger Ailes in now Satan's right hand man at FOX and Lee Atwater saw the error of his ways on his deathbed and repented his sins before he died.

The Real Reason They Want ACORN to Fail

Commented Sep 26, 2009 at 13:03:24 in Politics

“It's no secret why conservatives hate ACORN and other groups like it. For one, these groups are trying to aid the less fortunate in society and of course conservatives hate that. It's in their DNA; they are the spawn of Ebenezer Scrooge and the poor are simply Tiny Tim's who need to be ground under or at least exploited until no longer of use. But mostly they fear these groups because they try to empower these people to stand up to the powers that be and fight back by registering to vote and use the one power the rich and powerful can't take away from the; the right to vote. If millions of poor people exercised this right, they could lose their power and that's what conservatives fear most.”

Blue Dog Leader Works With Theocratic "Mafia" Opposed to Health Care Reform

Commented Sep 26, 2009 at 12:48:41 in Politics

“As the story goes, Jesus of Nazareth was a liberal preacher who began spreading the of word of God that all should be just and fair and minister to the poor and downtrodden while shunning the wicked, the hypocrites and the moneychangers. This so infuriated and scared the Pharisees (the phony, corporate preachers) that they betrayed him to the Romans(conservatives) who then promptly executed him. Has anything really changed in 2000 years? We have the modern day Pharisees who are just as morally corrupt as ever doing the bidding of the new age conservatives who would surely murder the next Jesus Christ who came along if he interfered with their lust for greed, power and control of the masses. My only hope is that there is a God and all these people burn in hell.”

I fully quoted you because your post reflects much in the way of insight and foresight.

And you are so correct: Jesus Christ would be tried and executed today if he were here, and by those who profess to "know" him.

Quite a bit, actually a complete reversal of things.

Old Testament: “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth...With the sword purify the evil from among you.”

New Testament: “Do not use force to overcome evil. If they smash you on the right cheek, turn to them the other also... Whole world is under the control of the evil one...The power of death and deadly force – that is the devil.”

And so, as all this world does is go from bad to worse, when will things turn toward the good? Immediately after things could not possibly turn any worse.”

“Remember, the long term goal of the Republican Party is to bankrupt America so that it can kill all the social programs that it hates so much. Remember the Grover Norquist quotes about shrinking government until you can drown it in a bathtub. If a lot of innocent working people have to suffer along the way, so be it. Lots of people will have to suffer before they finally get the oligarchy they dream about. But not the wealthy, powerful and connected. They are the chosen ones and we peons will just have to adjust to the 'New World Order'. So thanks to all the ignorant worker bees who have voted for and supported the Republican agenda since the takeover began with Ronald Reagan. It won't be long now and you too can live in the trailer park on the edge of town with no hope for the future.”
