A coindinence...? http://news.yahoo.com/did-gop-white-084500197.html "The decline of centrist Republicans was one important reason for the decline in the GOP’s diversity over recent decades, according to Brooke. The shift of the party’s political base to the states of the former Confederacy coincided with the rise of social conservatism and states’ rights in what had been the progressive party in the era of Lincoln.... Demographics are destiny, and looking like the party of old white men is not a recipe for Republican success in the future. That’s why this forgotten legacy of diversity should be respected and celebrated, even as the Party of Lincoln has turned into the Party of Reagan. Because these forgotten figures deserve to be remembered by Republicans and all Americans as the pioneers they were."
And along those lines, guess who's playing the RNC? Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Trace Adkins, the Oak Ridge Boys, Lee Greenwood, and John Anderson.
Here is a story about a (R)eactionary Maryland Legislator who has claimed that Gay marriage threatens children. He drunk drove a speedboat into another and sent 4 children to the hospital. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/20...ut-20120824_1_dwyer-accident-political-career
Why wouldn't you want to show respect a soldier who was court-martialled for going AWOL to get some pussy from Mrs. Custer, repeatedly violated treaties that the US Government had agreed to, and attacked an Indian encampment composed primarily of women and children at the Washita River Battle/Massacre as well as using captured women/children as human shields to keep from being attacked by other Cheyenne bands, abandoned one of his companies during the "battle", leading to their deaths, and then greatly exaggerated the number killed and claimed they were all warriors with evidence to the contrary. I mean, he was America's Željko Ražnatović. Who wouldn't want to honor someone, if he were not American today, we would hunt down and bring to the Hague Should you ever get the chance, the Washita Battlefield National Historical Site is a very moving memorial site dedicated to all who lost their lives in the battle
The anti-Obama film is drawing them by the flocks to hiss and loathe. God forbid they could show up to a pro-Romney movie, or anything else pro. The GOP is the negative matter that attempts to counterbalance the universe's positive matter.
Remember, we all showed up in 2004 to bash Bush at Fahrenheit 9/11, and we got so motivated our Massachusetts politician defeated the controversial incumbent. Oh wait...
But there's already an anti-Rmoney flick drawing huge audiences!!! http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserve...k-Knight-Rises-Fan-Poster-Batman-vs_-Bane.jpg
Dems do it too. Michael Moore. But the Republicans right now are in a particularly foul mood. I think it's because they know they don't have a real platform -- Reagonomics the 3rd time (W being the 2nd) is desperation. But they gotta run on something, that something being bad Obama.
Why the Gold Standard sucks Worth a read just so you're armed the next time you're accosted by a Paultard.
From the entry... Nobody has built their business completely on their own. Instead of using that as a partisan attack, let’s take it how it was meant by Obama: We need each other. And we need to work together. Seriously. Good work Valenzuelas. You did a lot of hard work. But so did that tax payers whose money helped you go farther faster. So for that matter did the government bureaucrats who decided to give you access to that money. None of that doesn't take away from the hard work, but for the love of God... I really wish, though, that Obama had said, "You didn't build that by yourself." I'm sure it would still be shamelessly edited and decontextualized, but still...
From theguardian.co.uk The writer could have mentioned the war on terrorism and the war on drugs and foreign wars, as well. The Republicans got what they wanted from Obama, by and large. Only know, it turns out that they didn't want it.
http://politicalgroove.com/2012/08/...eeks-before-conception-not-onion-article.html Like something straight out of TheOnion.com, Arizona recently passed a new law titled the Women’s Health and Safety Act that deems a woman pregnant 2 weeks before conception. Only this is not fiction, it’s Arizona. Read more http://politicalgroove.com/2012/08/...eeks-before-conception-not-onion-article.html Crazy=GOP
Republican Pennsylvanian candidate for Senate Tom Smith says out of wedlock consensual sex is similar to rape for the father of the woman: http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/08/27/13509930-from-todd-akin-to-tom-smith
Things That Shouldn't Be Said In Modern Society To Be Said At Least 1,400 Times At RNC “As the convention kicks off Tuesday with speeches from the likes of Rick Santorum and Nikki Haley, we should prepare ourselves to hear a more-or-less unending stream of ideas that should never even enter one’s mind, let alone be verbalized, in this day and age,” said Elizabeth Unger, a political scientist at Georgetown University. “It’s difficult to comprehend, but dozens of comments on such topics as human relationships and the physical world itself—which will seem as if they were crafted by some primitive unthinking civilization that existed centuries ago—will actually be emphasized, repeated, and used to punctuate key points in every single speech.” “And what’s more baffling is that speakers will receive legitimate applause for saying things in public that no reasonable, informed member of society would ever willingly say in private,” she continued. “In fact, the more monstrous and archaic the thing sounds, the more ardent the ovation will be.” ... “It’s almost as if these people are unaware that the Enlightenment, the scientific revolution, various civil rights movements, and the entirety of social progress over the previous several centuries even occurred,” Wright added.
I think that is their point, they do not want to think of their daughters having sex, so knowing that they are out there doing in it scares the shit out of them. My dad is not a typical conservative Mexican dad, but he would still get upset when my sister would not come home for the night, even after college.
