i don't mind conservatives (i really don't)

i don't mind people who have different beliefs or opinions than i do.


i ABHOR people who claim to be pro-life yet all their pro-life bullshite ends once one is actually born. i abhor people who cheer when the number of texas executions is announced. i abhor people who yell YEAH when asked if they'd let an uninsured person die


two things here, michele and her fucking hpv vaccines make you retarded

Michele Bachmann's HPV vaccine remarks continue to draw criticism

By

Ryan Jaslow

Dr. Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania Bioethics Center, offered Bachmann $10,000 if she could produce solid evidence of a case in which a "vaccine victim" developed a mental disability following an HPV shot, the Associated Press reported. If he wins the wager, he said, she should donate the money to a pro-vaccine group. If she wins, he said, he'd donate the money to a charity of her choice.

.........

Bachmann's camp did not respond to the request, the AP said.

Another bioethics professor, Dr. Stephen Miles of the University of Minnesota, offered his own wager, saying  he'd give $1,000 if the medical records from the woman in Bachmann's story could be released and reviewed by a doctor, the Star Tribune reported.

"These types of messages in this climate have the capacity to do enormous public health harm," Miles told the Star Trib. "The woman, assuming she exists, put this claim into the public domain and it's an extremely serious claim and it deserves to be analyzed.".................

and the texas execution of cameron willingham (i've blogged about this before). i don't know if he was innocent or guilty. i DO know there was a very good chance he was INNOCENT and a thorough investigation was stopped and they fried willingham

Pat Robertson forgets: Marriage is about sacrifice, too

By Matthew Lee Anderson

The state of marriage in America has become a perpetual source of handwringing for conservative pundits, and few pundits have proved more adept at the skill than Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcast Network and long time host of the 700 Club.

Yet with his latest offense, Robertson may have given evangelicals and Americans reason to hope that our belief in marriage’s permanence and sacredness is not dead yet.

As is by now well known, Robertson suggested on his show that a husband could divorce his wife and “start all over again” if she had Alzheimers. Robertson, in fairness, walked back an inch from his remarks, suggesting that they needed to get a professional ethicist to answer the question while underscoring his empathy for person in that situation and wrestling with the difficulty of the problem............

Texas cut fire department funding by 75 percent this year | Raw Replay

Texas cut fire department funding by 75 percent this year | Raw Replay

By David Edwards\

Under Gov. Rick Perry (R) this year, Texas slashed state funding for the volunteer fire departments that protect most of the state from wildfires like the ones that have recently destroyed more than 700 homes.

Volunteer departments that were already facing financial strain were slated to have their funding cut from $30 million to $7 million, according to KVUE.

The majority of Texas is protected by volunteer fire departments. There are 879 volunteer fire departments in Texas and only 114 paid fire departments. Another 187 departments are a combination of volunteer and paid...........

dressing a 3 year old like a hooker

then slapping the scene on tv........ here are MY thoughts
1) the parents should be arrested immediately and all of their children permanently taken from them
2) no one and i mean NO ONE should ever watch TLC ever ever ever again
3) anyone who watches toddlers and tiaras should be sentenced to mandatory psychological therapy

LONGTIME REPUBLICAN LEAVES AUTHORITARIAN REICHWING ‘CULT’d by Richard Metzger 

Michael Lofgren is a Republican staffer, who was, until recently, serving the Senate Finance Committee. Lofgren has worked on Capitol Hill for nearly three decades. He explains why he left his job in a recent column for TruthOut. The Republican “11th Commandment”—Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican—is repeatedly violated in this barn-burner.

Some choice excerpts here, but the whole thing is a must read. His main target is the Republican Party, of course, but the Democrats are not spared, either:

But both parties are not rotten in quite the same way. The Democrats have their share of machine politicians, careerists, corporate bagmen, egomaniacs and kooks. Nothing, however, quite matches the modern GOP.

To those millions of Americans who have finally begun paying attention to politics and watched with exasperation the tragicomedy of the debt ceiling extension, it may have come as a shock that the Republican Party is so full of lunatics. To be sure, the party, like any political party on earth, has always had its share of crackpots, like Robert K. Dornan or William E. Dannemeyer. But the crackpot outliers of two decades ago have become the vital center today: Steve King, Michele Bachmann (now a leading presidential candidate as well), Paul Broun, Patrick McHenry, Virginia Foxx, Louie Gohmert, Allen West. The Congressional directory now reads like a casebook of lunacy..............

OLBERMANN: AZ COUNTRY GOP CHAIR IS A ‘HUMAN-SHAPED PILE OF FECES’  Richard Metzger 

Pima County, AZ Republican Chairman Pro Tem,  Mike Shaw, is the asshole who made the tacky decision to raffle off a Glock handgun for a local GOP fundraiser. Of course, Jared Loughner used a Glock during the tragic shooting spree there in January that killed six people and injured 13 others, including Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords. Was there NOTHING ELSE they could have raffled off in Gifford’s own district? A TV? A microwave oven? A box set of Newt and Callista Gingrich DVDs? NOTHING???.........
