Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Sometimes there's just so many, I can't resist:

Republican candidate for South Dakota’s open Senate seat Annette Bosworth posted this on her Facebook page:



Yep, that’s right, she's comparing foodstamp recipients to animals. Given that 83% of foodstamps go to children, veterans, and the elderly and 900,000 veterans rely on foodstamps to feed their families ( http://cfbsnapchallenge.org/?page_id=975), I guess she's saying that unless they can forage for food in the forest like the animals do, we should let them starve.

==================================
We can always count on Louie Gohmert for a "laugh". Referring to the CNN story about a “secret list” at a Phoenix veterans hospital, which was allegedly designed to hide the fact that patients weren’t getting care. 40 veterans died as a result. The situation is being investigated, but according to Gohmert, it's about Obamacare:
Quote:

“This is where socialized medicine always goes and some of our friends say, ‘We don’t have to worry about Obamacare, it will fall of its own weight.’ No, it doesn’t. Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So, you don’t go broke.” http://aattp.org/tea-party-lunatic-obamacare-puts-you-on-lists-to-die-
video
/


He went on to ramble about…you guessed it, Benghazi…and to try and make a connection to the South Korean ferry tragedy (oh, and the IRS scandal, too):
Quote:

“In this administration nobody pays the price. They get reassigned, they get a better job…” Gohmert rambled, “Did you see what happened in South Korea? It was so atrocious. We shouldn’t have to wait until 2016 to get justice here because if our Speaker will step up to the plate — allow us to have a select committee on Benghazi so we can get to the bottom of that, allow us to have a select committee to get the bottom of what has been happening at the VA under this administration and any other administration… and then also to have a special prosecutor set up to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal.”Same


================================

It's almost unfair to mention Glenn Beck, he's so predictable. But what the heck…From his radio show Tuesday:
Quote:

One of Beck's guests pointed out that Clinton "came out" in favor of gay marriage last year—phrasing that Beck seized upon with aplomb.

"Hillary came out last year?" he asked incredulously. "Because I didn't think that had been officially ...," he trailed off.

Beck continued with a quip about Clinton's hypothetical sexual relations in the Oval Office.

"I'm telling you, Hillary Clinton will be having sex with a woman on the White House desk if it becomes popular," he said, to his colleagues' chuckles. "She will be! She'll be like, 'Look, the arc of history wasn't ready for a president to be a lesbian and have sex on the desk.' " http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/glenn-beck-hillary-clinton-wou

================================
Iowa's Candidates for U.S. Senate Pledge to Block Judges Who Don't Follow 'Biblical Law'

During a Q & A session regarding criteria for confirming federal judges at a debate hosted by The Family Leader (one of those powerful GOP pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-life organizations that demand allegiance from its bought campaigning Republican candidates), Iowa’s Republican candidates for U.S. Senate declared that they would immediately block the nomination of a judge who did not have a “biblical view” of justice.

Sam Clovis (who thinks Obama is only in office because you can’t impeach a black guy) said any judicial nominees must be able to “explain to me natural law and natural rights". Matt Whitaker emphasized that judges must be “people of the faith” with “a biblical view of justice". State Sen. Joni Ernst underscored that judges must have “understanding where the Constitution came from and our laws, and they all did come from God.” She went on to add that her litmus test would be to research any judges in order to ensure "any decisions that they have made in the past fit those criteria." ( http://www.policymic.com/articles/88667/iowa-s-candidates-for-u-s-sena

Anybody out there remember "separation of church and state"? No? Apparently not on the right…

===================================

But the prize of the day has to go to…no surprise…Mamma Grizzly herself. When Sarah Palin told a crowd on Saturday that America would baptize terrorists by torturing them if she were President, her remarks disgusted quite a few.



From The Federalist: "No, Sarah Palin, Baptism Isn’t A Good Punchline For A Terrorist Joke", http://thefederalist.com/2014/04/27/no-sarah-palin-baptism-isnt-a-good
-punchline-for-a-terrorist-joke
/

Andrew Sullivan at The Dish went no-holes barred:
Quote:

Sarah Palin: Anti-Christian

If you want a classic example of political Christianism – and its active hostility to spiritual Christianity – it’s hard to beat Sarah Palin’s remarks yesterday. I offered a brief response last night, but this obscenity needs to be unpacked some more. And the first thing to say is that a former US vice-presidential candidate did not just endorse a war crime; she endorsed it as routine for every human being suspected of terrorism. And she seems to endorse it as an introduction to captivity. “Waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists” is a glib statement but a revealing one. Baptism is the beginning of something, an introduction. And so torturing prisoners accused of terrorism is a signature of the America Palin believes in. It’s how we welcome them to our prison camps.

Now look how far we have come from the original notion – pioneered by Charles Krauthammer and popularized by “24? – that torture should only be used in the hypothetical ticking time-bomb case. That argument – only ever hypothetical – nonetheless assumes that torture is evil and should only be used in extremis to prevent imminent catastrophe. Palin, in contrast, like her party, has long since blown past such niceties. She believes that torture should be the first resort – a sign of how America treats its foes, a badge of honor.

What can one say but that this is a bona fide fascistic sentiment. It revels in violence against individuals tied down by their hands and feet and strapped to a terrifying board in order to be suffocated hundreds of times to near-death. It is the kind of statement you might expect from the Khmer Rouge, or from the Chinese Communists who perfected “stress positions”, or from the Nazis, whose Gestapo pioneered “enhanced interrogation”, i.e. brutal torture that would leave no physical traces. Except it’s worse than that. Even totalitarian regimes have publicly denied their torture. Their reticence and lies are some small concession of vice to the appearance of virtue. Not Palin – who wants to celebrate brutal torture as the American way. And then she manages to go one step further. She invokes torture in the context of a Christian sacrament. Not since the Nazis’ Deutsche Christen have we seen something so disgusting and blasphemous in the morphing of Christianity into its polar opposite. Excerpts from http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/04/28/the-pernicious-poison-of-pal
in-ctd
/



Even Joe at The Gospel Coalition had some harsh words for her:
Quote:

For anyone to confess Christ as their savior and to compare one of the means of God's grace to an act of torture is reprehensible. I hope members of Gov. Palin's local church will explain to her why her remarks denigrate the Christian faith. Such remarks bring shame on the Body of Christ and to our witness in the world. Even more shameful, however, is the fact that so many Christians would cheer her support of torture (and yes, waterboarding is torture).

Gov. Palin was attempting to appeal to the basest political populism (nothing in her remarks could be construed as genuinely conservative) by claiming that current U.S. counterterrorism policy is overly-tolerant and empathetic toward our enemies. She contends that proper policies would "put the fear of God into our enemies."

Unfortunately, what Palin is proposing is a mixture of pagan ethics and civil deistic religion. She could have provided a more useful recommendation by supporting a Christian view, for on this issue in particular, Christian anthropology not only provides the correct view but the only one that can provide an adequate framework in which to form our conception of our "enemies."

The truly Christian position is to never forget that evil comes not just from the actions of "terrorists" or "enemies" but from the heart of fallen, sacred yet degraded, human beings. If we are to preserve our own humanity we must not forget that our enemy differs from us in degree, not in kind. Like us, our enemies need to accept Jesus and to be baptized by water and the Spirit. That is the Christian way, not as Palin would have it, to have our enemies fear a pagan god and have their spirit broken by water. Excerpts from http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2014/04/27/is-waterboarding-ho
w-we-baptize-terrorists-sarah-palin-enemies-and-christian-anthropology
/



One Christian organization was even so incensed that they created a petition condemning her and called upon the media to report how true Christians feel about torture.
Quote:

In a speech Saturday to the National Rifle Association, Sarah Palin said that "if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists." The audience roared with approval.

This is what we've come to in America: A former candidate for vice-president can equate torture and Holy Baptism, and one of the nation's most powerful political lobbies erupts into cheers and applause.

As usual, Palin's remarks are already making international headlines, once again portraying Christianity as a religion of hatred and violence. But this time, let's show just how many Christians are appalled by Palin's twisted misrepresentation of our faith.

We're launching a statement to the media, denouncing her remarks and setting the record straight about baptism, torture, and violence.

Sign the Petition:

"For Christians, torture is not a joke or a political punchline, but a ghastly reminder of the suffering of Jesus upon the cross. By equating it with Holy Baptism -- the act by which we are united with Christ in his death and resurrection -- Sarah Palin is blasphemously twisting our faith into a weapon of hatred and violence. No media outlet should cover her remarks without reporting on how sincere Christians of all theological and political persuasions are appalled." http://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/palinwaterboarding?referring_akid=
314.270145.HQkiIp&source=facebook




Good going, Sarah, keep it up!

I disagree Chris - it just shows how the crazies are more inclined to seek public office, to try and create change and policy than sensical, modern, progressive folk. Sorry, no punchline, it's the country we live in right now - nuckin' futters have more ambition, more scratch, try harder. And if they take the initiative and regular people (who are they any more?) don't, then isn't it Right and Democratic that the Nutters should rule?



I disagree, the nuckin' futters don't have more ambition. They appear to be gaining more power but the reason is not always discussed. It is due to juryman during. When you change your district lines to exclude people who don't agree with you then what remains is only those nuts in your district. Then you become a slave to those very nuts because they outnumber everyone else.

The Republicans, especially John Boehner, are learning this the hard way.

..."juryman during"? Mikers, d'ja mean "gerrymandering"? I'm kinda guessing that's what you mean, given your description, and yeah, it's part of the problem. But both sides have always done that; the GOP got real smart about it, last time around, granted, and they got smart by focusing on statewide offices, where the Dems certainly dropped the ball big time, too. But there's also all that, you know, MONEY floating around, and Citizens United, and ALEC, and FauxNews, which I think have something to do with it... Just sayin'... ;-)

Personally, I think it might also have something to do with the mentality of the country, which as I see it hasn't been improving (or getting more educated!) for some time now... I disagree with G, I don't think it's "right" or democratic that they should wield the power they do, I think it's a damned shame and an embarrassment for our country.

I don't see why pointing out growing dependency is a bad thing. Hardly 'crazy', at all.

Palin got smacked pretty good by the RIGHT for comparing Baptism to water-boarding. As well she should. It was a stupid thing to say. " Crazy " ? Hardly. And when " the Right " goes and rejects such comments, I find it hardly fair to cast a shadow on the entire group for something she said.

You really want to go down this road, w/ crazy ass stuff from Leftists say, and how that reflects on ALL the Left ?

Even when she was admonished by nearly all on the Right for what she said ?

Yes, she was the darling, and stands for a great many of positives which the Right support.

This wasn't one of her greatest moments. We can admonish her for THIS ONE COMMENT, and not throw her out.


Joe Biden called Obama " the first mainstream African-American presidential candidate who is articulate and bright and clean-cut and a nice-looking guy. "

Harry Reid marveled at Obama's negro dialect. ( The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." )

Yes I did indeed mean gerrymandering. I have a New York accent and have found if I can't say it right, I certainly can't spell it.

There has to be a rational behind what we do as a country not an Ideology.

Personally I think the climate is going to lead to changes in how we work together.

Palin has said so MANY things that are beyond the pale, this is nothing surprising. She's an attention hog, that's been patently obvious for a long time now, and like Coulter, she gets attention by being as far out there as she can. UNlink Coulter, she doesn't have the brains to know when she's crossed the line...and probably doesn't care. Gets her attention, and she's not a serious politico, never was, so I'm sure she doesn't give a shit. After all this time and all she's said, she only appeals to the fringe any more, but the more she opens her mouth, the fewer she will appeal to. Like The Donald, there are some who just don't give a shit; they open their mouths and whatever comes out is fine with them, 'cuz it puts them in the spotlight, however briefly.

Mikers, "Personally I think the climate is going to lead to changes in how we work together." I would love to believe you're right; unfortunately it's been going the other way for so long, I've given up hope of it getting any better, at least in my lifetime.

Yeah, the woman championed by the right - what she says doesn't apply to her supporters.

But Jamie Foxx makes a joke - and it somehow, in his deranged brain, represents each and every person on the left.

Meanwhile, back to the subject of this thread. Here's the latest (well, it's the latest as I write this, but I'm sure there's more):
Quote:

Conservative Christian leader David Barton wants to ban women from voting.

A so-called “historian” who Glenn Beck hired to teach at his online university insisted this week that women had originally been denied the right to vote “to keep the family together,” and for the good of “the entire culture and society.”

On the Thursday broadcast of Wallbuilders Live, David Barton explained that biblical principles — and not sexism — were behind not allowing women to vote prior to 1920.

“So family government precedes civil government and you watch that as colonists came to America, they voted by families,” he said. “And you have to remember back then, husband and wife, I mean the two were considered one. That is the biblical precept… That is a family, that is voting. And so the head of the family is traditionally considered to be the husband and even biblically still continues to be so.”

Barton asserted that denying women the right to vote was necessary for “a strong culture, a strong society, and it was based on a strong family that preceded government. And they crafted their policies to protect a strong family.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/05/01/christian-historian-allowing-wom

/


David Barton is the founder of Wallbuilders, an organization that seeks to destroy the separation of church of state.

On the Thursday broadcast of Wallbuilders Live, David Barton explained that biblical principles — and not sexism — were behind not allowing women to vote prior to 1920.

“So family government precedes civil government and you watch that as colonists came to America, they voted by families,” he said. “And you have to remember back then, husband and wife, I mean the two were considered one. That is the biblical precept… That is a family, that is voting. And so the head of the family is traditionally considered to be the husband and even biblically still continues to be so.”

Barton asserted that denying women the right to vote was necessary for “a strong culture, a strong society, and it was based on a strong family that preceded government. And they crafted their policies to protect a strong family.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/05/01/christian-historian-allowing-wom

David Barton is the founder of Wallbuilders, an organization that seeks to destroy the separation of church of state.


Wow.

Looks like we got us a Taliban here, fellas. We don't cotton to no woman-hatin' religious nutbags runnin' round these here parts. Them fellers best skedaddle, while they still can!

The women not being allowed to vote meme is endorsed by such intellectual luminaries as Ann Coulter, to name just one.

re: Walter Jack Palance
the meaning of life is just One Thing, & it's for Me to decide. Yes?

And while Curly appeared to win the Academy Award,
it was actually owed to Jack Wilson in Shane. IMO.

An old debt.



... oooOO}{OOooo ...

I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.



All right, Great movie.

Does anyone remember when Palin was speaking to the camra at a turkey farm and behind her they were stuffing a turkey head first into a funnel so they could cut it's throat.

Talk about a turkey.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Vividly, Mikers, something I've never forgotten. Unfortunately. But who would expect anything else from someone who joys in supporting the shooting of bear and wolves from a helicopter? Just part of the whole package.

Flat Earth is a thing again, it was a thing thousands of years ago, then maybe a few Lefty types smoked drugs and went Flat Earth covered their guys and put their fingers in their ears during the George Bush junior years and said everything was wrong

Now it seems to be back with a Religion element to it, maybe not full 'Q-Anon'
