Talking to people who religiously watch Fox News is better than space travel. You get to see what life is like on another planet without the risk of explosive decompression. But if you’re a Fox News dev**ee and insist that the rest of the world is crazy, this list is for you. Please, get help.




1. You are OUTRAGED at how Obama has shredded the Constitution but can’t name any rights you’ve lost since January 20, 2009.

2. You think record breaking cold weather in the middle of winter disproves “G****l W*****g.”

3. You think record breaking cold weather in the middle of winter disproves “G****l W*****g” but record breaking heat waves in the summer are just a fluke.

4. You h**e Obama for the almost 1700 American lives lost in Afghanistan under his watch but have no idea how many died in Iraq before he took office (Hint: more than 4000).

5. You call Afghanistan “Obama’s War” but ignore the entire first eight years of it.

6. You think there’s no way Chris Christie knew about the scandal unfolding in his own office but Obama clearly knew what a small IRS office in Cincinnati was up to.

7. You think 4 Americans dying in B******i is “the worst tragedy since 9/11.“

8. You denounce Bill Clinton as an adulterer but give a pass to David Vitter and Mark Sanford because they apologized.

9. You are both convinced Obama is a secret Muslim and still go into a frenzy when someone mention Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

10. You really do think Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist that drinks beer, eats pork, attended church for years (ARRRGH! Rev. Jeremiah Wright!), had his daughters baptized, had bin Laden k**led and has had more terrorist leaders assassinated than every president before him combined.

11. You think bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 because he ordered the attack but Obama gets no credit for bin Laden’s death because he only ordered the attack.

12. You swear that Obama is coming for your guns.

13. You’ve been swearing that Obama is coming for your guns since before he was elected.

14. You swear that Obama has actually reduced your right to own guns but you can’t explain how.

15. You have ever used the phrase: Obama’s Katrina to describe something that was not the bungled response to a major natural disaster.

16. You’re positive Obama isn’t a true Christian but then got mad he had too many Christmas trees (no, seriously, that was a thing).

17. You think Muslims are terrorists and religious fanatics but think protecting gay kids from bullies is an attack on your religious beliefs.

18. You constantly complain the liberal media takes things out of context but you’re deeply offended that Obama said “You didn’t build that.”

19. You think that ACORN stole the 2008 e******n. Maybe the 2012 one as well.

20. You think “v***r f***d” is an actual problem but can’t explain how cutting early v****g stops it.

21. In 2009, cutting the $1.4 trillion deficit in half was the most important thing in the world but in 2014, you could care less about how much the deficit was cut (Hint: in half).

22. You h**e Obama for not having served a day in the military but v**ed for Mitt Romney.

23. You think Obama is the laziest president ever for taking so many vacation days but “forget” that it’s less than a third of his predecessor.
23a. Never mind how many days he took, the president shouldn’t take vacations during a time of  crisis!
23b. Never mind that Bush took vacations during two wars and a recession! Obama is   spending tax payer money to loaf about!
23c. I said WHO CARES that Bush took more than three times as much vacation time? It  only counts when the black guy takes a vacation!

24. You think Obama embarrassed America by bowing to other heads of state but forgot about Bush kissing a Saudi King

25. You think Obama is terrible for the economy while the stock market continues to hit all time highs.

26. You think the stock market hitting all times highs doesn’t mean the economy is improving but you still believe in Trickle Down Economics.

27. You claim you don’t believe in Trickle Down Economics but insist that increasing taxes on the rich will hurt the economy.

28. You’re outraged OUTRAGED at Obama for not unilaterally launching a full scale war on Iran but call him a warmonger for joining an international coalition to stop a massacre in Libya.

29. You think Obama is “dumb.”

30. You really think a Harvard graduate is “dumb.”

31. You really seriously think a Harvard graduate and a former president of the Harvard Law Review is “dumb.”

32. You think Obama h**es white people which would include his white mother and the white grandparents that raised him to be President of the United States.

33. You think Obama is a criminal mastermind that has broken dozens of laws involving thousands of government workers but no one can actually prove anything.

34. You think Obama is an absolute i***t who has broken dozens of laws involving thousands of government workers but no one can actually prove anything.

35. You think C*****e C****e is a vast liberal conspiracy to destroy Capitalism.

36. You claim evolution is a liberal h**x but still take your kids of their yearly flu shot.

37. You claim science is just a religion but do not think twice about boarding an airplane.

38. You think the private sector can completely replace government investments but you’re OUTRAGED Obama ended the Space Shuttle program.

39. You think using a teleprompter means you are stupid. But only if you happen to be the president. It’s OK for everyone else.

40. You think being asked to drink an extra glass of water a day is tyranny.

41. You think being asked to do more community service is tyranny.

42. You think being asked to help the poor get health insurance is tyranny.

43. You think being asked to let women choose to use birth control is tyranny.

44. You think being asked to respect other religions is tyranny.

45. You think being asked to leave homosexuals alone is tyranny.

46. You think being publicly shamed for your r****m is tyranny.

47. You think not allowing criminals and the mentally ill to buy guns is tyranny.

48. You think allowing everyone to v**e is tyranny.

49. You think Obama exercising his constitutional authorities is tyranny.

50. You grew up in America and think you actually understand what real tyranny is.

I love how the left likes to use the evil Koch Brothers like they are number 1 of the corrupt political bribery list. Try 59th and even 8% of that is given to Democrat pacs. That's what you call a liberal grasping at straws.
Note you have to get past number 12 to find a republican donor.




Heavy Hitters: Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2014

This list includes the organizations that have historically qualified as "heavy hitters" — groups that lobby and spend big, with large sums sent to candidates, parties and leadership PACs. Individuals and organizations have been able to make extremely large donations to outside spending groups in the last few years. While contributions to outside groups like super PACs do not factor into an organization's designation as a "heavy hitter" (a listing of about 150 groups), those numbers are included for the roster below.

For example, this list does not include casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. He and his wife Miriam donated nearly $93 million in 2012 alone to conservative super PACs — enough to put him at No. 2 on this list. Similarly, the list excludes former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has donated more than $19 million in the past two years, largely to groups that support gun control. Neither Adelson nor Bloomberg — or the organizations they report as their employers — qualifies as a "heavy hitter" under our current definition. It's also important to note that we aren't including donations to politically active dark money groups, like Americans for Prosperity, a group linked to the Koch brothers, or the liberal group Patriot Majority — because these groups hide their donors; see a list of top donors that we've been able to identify to such groups. We are working to revise this list to take into account the new realities of campaign finance created by the Citizens United decision, but as it currently stands, there are significant omissions.

It is also worth noting that certain organizations, such as ActBlue and Club for Growth, are included although they function for the most part as pass-through entities: individual donors give to them with the contributions earmarked for specific candidates.

This post is about a Koch ad attacking the ACA which is proven to be abject BS and rather than addressing the fact that Fox news and the Koch boys are attempting to deceive viewers you defend the Koch brothers because they made a paltry eighteen million in direct political contributions. The bottom line is that all of those involved are scumbag liars attempting to deceive Americans about the effect of the ACA and they are so warped and wrong they have difficulty finding people it actualy harms. Why not address the issue at hand rather than replying with ireleviant nonsense?

The public airways are the property of the people of the United States of America and those licensed to use them have a legal obligation to operate in the public interest. For decades the news room was separated from the entertainment departments at networks and they operated to meet the obligation to serve the public good. At about the same time the fareness doctrine which required an op-ed requirement on opinion broadcast to insure listeners and viewers got both sides of a story was dumped broadcasters decided to use their newsrooms to make as much money as possible ending a long history of acting in the public interest. The FCC is charged with insuring that the public airwaves are used to benifit the public, monitoring those holding licenses to broadcast to see they meet this obligation is part of this role of the FCC, just like FDA inspectors help assure us that spoiled meat is not sold to consumers.

In a February 14, 2014 lecture Noam Chomsky gave some “simple” advice about “how to ruin an economy and a society.”

“Let’s suppose,” Chomsky began, “that for some perverse reason we’re interested in ruining an economy and a society…and to make it interesting, let’s select the richest and most powerful society in history, one with incomparable advantages, one that’s fortunately close at hand — namely, our own.”

“There are ample resources,” he continued, to provide employment to all who seek it, “but they’re hidden away where they cannot be accessed, in the overflowing pockets of the super-rich and the corporate sector, particularly the big banks, which have been generously rewarded for having created a crisis serious enough to have almost brought down the domestic and even global economy.”


“The system is so dysfunctional, that it cannot put eager hands to needed work, using the resources that would be readily available if the economy were designed to serve human needs, rather than wealth beyond the dreams of avarice for a privileged few.”

“These things didn’t just happen like a tornado, they’re the results of quite deliberate policies over roughly the past generation, the period of the neoliberal assault on the population,” Chomsky said. “These developments should not be confused with idealized workings of capitalism and free markets, [apologies for which] are designed to protect the Masters from market discipline.”

Chomksy’s first suggestion as to how to ruin an economy would be to “cut back” on the “dynamic state-sponsored research and development” that brought about advances in information technology and medicine.

A second way “to undermine a healthy economy is to encourage the growth of financial institutions, giving them free rein via deregulation and using state power to under-price risk.”

The third way would be to convince the public that behaviors encouraged by these institutions are “rational,” and have no impact upon the future. Chomsky discussed the “euphoria” that surrounds the “century of energy independence,” in which the United States becomes the new Saudi Arabia. Corporations are engaged in a major “propaganda campaign” to convince the people that “c*****e c****e, if it exists at all, does not result from human activity.”

In the case of global climate collapse, however, “it goes well beyond just ruining an economy."

Who do you see as the best candidate for president from the Republican party in 2016 ?


A Sara Palin Michelle Bachman team would be the best possible duo for the republicans to nominate. Between them they represent the very best in intellect, family values, deep understanding of international relations and informed decision making the Republicans have to offer.

Stan, Obama may try and enforce his gun law on some, but when it comes to the southern states, he'd better think twice if he wants to remain a man. These good ole southern boys and girls won't take too kindly giving up their firearms. They'll shoot first, ask questions later. If Obama thinks he's got the black balls to try this, let him bring them to any of their doors and demand their guns. He'll be singing suprano in a gay boys choir. Lol. No kiddin! He's been given way too much power in our country. I wouldn't put it past him being the one behind all these gun shootings in America that would give him more leverage to enforce gun control.

This post looks to me like a threat to the President of The United States. I hope that the Secret Service looks into the threat when it is brought to their attention. It is likely a good idea for the police to disarm any dillusional nut job who threatens to castrate the president if he visits a state in our union.

Kevyn, where did the criminals get those guns? The answer is law abiding citizens that did not secure their weapons. We do have a real gun violence problem in the U.S. The numbers do not lie. All conservatives quote Chicago stats. How about larger stats: the states with the least gun control tend to have the highest rates of gun deaths.


I am sorry I wasn't clear, Detroit has double the homicide rate of Chicago and unlike Chicago it is easy for anyone in town to carry a gun if they want.

Two candidates running for the Texas State Board of Education, publicly oppose the state's role in educating Texas students.

Why are they running for this office?

It is pretty easy to figure out, poor urban people generally v**e for Democrats, Latinos and other immigrants the same, one percenters generally v**e Republican and the wealthy have only so many v**es. In order to maintain a core of republican v**ers you need to keep education to a minimum, to roughly quote George Carlin the rich want people who are just smart enough to do the paperwork and run the machines they do not want people who are well educated and capable of critical thinking. There has been an anti education movement run by the right for years and it is beginning to bear fruit. Much of the attack on university's as elitist institutions and teachers and professors as an elite class while wealthy corporate bosses are presented as salt of the earth are part of this propaganda movement. Home and charter schooling with curriculum set by fundamentalist relegious sects "protect our children from the diabolical influence of a well rounded education" are another part of the ignorance revolution. The Republicans depend on minions of insular paranoid lightly educated v**ers who blame their condition on people of color immigrants and neighbors who have not yet been screwed out of their fringe benefits and old age pensions. Good well funded public schools and university's are a grave threat to the Republican right.
