Republicans are human?!

There is a great article in the Christian Science Monitor ( I know, I feel sick too) about the Republican Party spending large sums of money on hotels, limousines, and almost $2000.00 used at Voyeur, one of LA's great strip clubs.

I personally don't care if they bankrupt themselves buying mayonnaise and condoms. What I care about is the hypocrisy. The party of family values is spending money at a club in which there are live S&M shows? Nice. That actually sounds like a great time. But this is supposed to be America's Party; God's Party! Not to mention that while a vast number of citizens are unemployed and the democrats are continually roasted for spending money to try to help people, the Republicans are gallivanting (awesome southern word) around, spending $17,500 on private jets and $20,000 on a really nice hotel in DC.

Just imagine for one second that the Democrats were the ones doing this. You wouldn't need a radio or TV to hear Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck crying at the top of their lungs. But hey, we can't have unemployed strippers now, can we?

Here is your party, Teabaggers, GOPers, and crazy Christians!

Ohio, what is wrong with you?

My favorite overgrown Oompah-Loompha John Boehner has played his hand, and is going to end up loosing. The Columbus Dispatch wrote an OK article on how Boehner has become the voice of the Republican Party and is taking them... somewhere. There were a few parts of this article that were laughable.

Former Republican congressman David Hobson of Springfield said the speech helped Boehner "5,000 percent" with House Republicans, adding that "John is a stronger leader in the party today. I think he still has the ability to work with the Democrats. He's not an extremist."

He isn't an extremist, I agree. He is an opportunist. He saw a way to steer the Luddites that compose his party down the road to crazyville. However, I don't think he understood exactly how much of a frenzy that the masses would be worked up to. Regardless, he has done so and is still trying to channel the anger of his party into repealing the health care bill.

This anger is no good. The people are lashing out against everything; breaking windows in congressional offices, screaming racial epithets at members of congress, faking an anthrax letter to Anthony Weiner, and threatening the family members of congressmen. This has got to stop. As long as people like John Boehner are allowed to continue fomenting this anger, there are going to be more acts of violence that are going to escalate until someone ends up dead.

Right-wing wack-jobs attack Rep. Wiener

These guys keep coming. I sure am glad that Fox News and the GOP don't foment anger with the public, working them into a frenzy so that they will go out and do something irrational when something doesn't go their way. If they did that, then someone might try to send Anthony Wiener a threatening letter with a white-powdery substance in it.

What a joke these "patriots" are.

The True Face of the GOP and the Tea Party

I am afraid I can't comment on this video. The anger that wells up in me can't be formed into words. I will say that this is the true face of this group of "people".

Tea Baggers Use Slurs - Suprised Much?

Saturday, as lawmakers were trying to whip votes for the Health Care bill, Tea Party activists called Rep. John Lewis (D, GA) a "nigger" and Rep. Barney Frank (D, MA) a "faggot". The GOP and the Tea Party are trying to distance themselves from the actions of the activists. Rep. John Boehner (R, OH) called the actions "reprehensible" and said that they don't represent the Tea Party.

I am trying to figure out at what point the Tea Baggers weren't a racist group. Since the Tea Party unveiled themselves last summer during the initial Health Care debate, they have shown nothing but contempt for a black president. It ranges from questioning his birth certificate to questioning his loyalties to the United States. This group, who was obviously the brain-child of man-child Glenn Beck, has fomented fear and hatred since its inception. They have incited people to violence and given voice to what seemed to be a dying group of white nationalist groups. So here is my question to the GOP: Are you surprised?

When you work people up by telling them that Stalin-reincarnate is taking over the government; that said government is going to take all of your money; that said government is going to kill your grandmother; that said government is going to kill you; that said government is going to take away your guns (which should probably happen, looking at this group of fools), what do you think they are going to do? They are going to lash out at whoever is, in their mind, the cause of the problem. Just as Hitler lashed out against the Jews because he didn't get into the art school that he wanted, these Tea Baggers are lashing out ignorantly, and violently, against an enemy who is supposedly looking for reparations.

Rush Limbaugh says almost daily that the health care bill is somehow reparations for slavery to black people. Glenn Beck says it is encroaching communist-socialist-nazist ideals, personified in a black president. Sean Hannity constantly calls the presidents (and all those who aren't republicans for that matter) actions into question as unpatriotic. What are the people that listen to their bile and hatred going to do?

I find Rep. Boehners' statement reprehensible. When you work people into a frenzy because they are stupid and easily controlled, you can't claim to be appalled when things get ugly. Rep. Boehner was one of many who helped make this happen. Now it is time for them to be seen as the racists that they are.

It should be OK though. The Tea Party does have Jesus on their side.
