Israeli Soldiers Shoot Tear Gas at School Children

And they aint Israeli children.

Children at a Hebron school, bordering an illegal Israeli settlement enclave in the heart of the West Bank city, suffered from tear gas inhalation fired by Israeli soldiers.

If this had happened in the USA to a child of a US Bankster by the IDF, Apartheid Israel would be wiped from the face of the earth in moments without a single care. Zionist better hope and pray this type of thing never gets seen by US voters.  How long can Apartheid Israeli Zionist keep treating Palestinians like sub-human pieces of shit? History seems to say a very long, long time. 

Chimpy has Alzheimer’s

Sources tell America’s Globe magazine that Bush’s nearest and dearest — including his wife Laura — fear for the former Commander-in-Chief’s health.
“His condition is sad and tragic,” a source said. “He spends his days painting nude portraits — of himself!”
Meanwhile, George has turned to booze in a bid to ease his pain over his dad’s failing health.

Sequester Madness, Republicans Love Obamacare? Redefining the GOP FRI FEB 22, 2013

 As usual this weeks show is hosted by Very Serious Person and beltway conservative Matt Miller, normal person Robert "Bob" Scheer.  This weeks guest is torture advocate Rich Lowry.  What, Vin Weber not back this week? Sheesh.

VSP Matt: Sequester Madness, TeaBag Conservative Republicans love Obamacare?, GOP rebranding and Oscars preview. Busy week. Lets start. Sequester. Bob?

Bob: President is on top. Conservatives probably won't wreck the place. Military cuts good.

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: Sequester will happen. Deficits. Dems want to raise revenue. Payroll tax bad. Republicans forced to swallow. Scare stories.

VSP Matt: Yea, I agree with you Rich, because I am a David Brooks wanabe republican. The sequester won't be so bad. Scare stories.

Bob: I'm with Krugman. Don't lay people off. Payroll tax is bad.  Military corporate welfare bad. And don't get me started on lawless Banksters. 21 trillion dollars lost. 21.

VSP Matt: Macro economics. Micro economics are absurd. Payroll tax is bad. Macro economics. 

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: Payroll tax is bad. Blame "O" instead of the bat shit crazy Tea Bag base of the republican party for not getting that extended.  By the way Matt? Your Macro economic argument is bullshit. (Keep in mind VSP Matt did a shitty job explaining exactly what Macro economic policies he was bitching about and I'm confident Torture Advocate Rich didn't know what he was arguing against.)

VSP Matt: I'll ignore that snub. Obamacare. So, republican dead-endeers Rick Scott pulled his head out of his ass on medicaid expansion. So did Rick Snyder, John Kasich and Susana Martinez. Rick Perry will too once he remembers what the Department of Energy is.

Bob: Obamacare is an offer Tea Bag conservative republican governors cant refuse.

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: This is a real blow. This really hurts on the right. It's a blow. Hopefully the House ding-bat republicans in Americas Wang or Florida as they like to be called will shut the whole thing down like a rape victim. There are better ways to provide healthcare, but it certainly is not Single Payer.

VSP Matt: Vouchers! Exchanges! Rick Scott demonstrates republican confusion.

Bob: It's either euthanasia or universal healthcare. Like Alan Grayson says, the republican healthcare plan is: Don't get sick and if you do, Die quickly. The proper alternative is the democratic, progressive, liberal and moral way: single payer...like the rest of the civilized, non-wingnut world.

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: You weak minded centrist. Mush moderation between the extremes. Medicaid blows. Right Wing Nuts like me want insurance! We always wanted insurance. But not government insurance. That is socialism and it's icky.

VSP Matt: GOP rebranding. Why are we having such a hard time reinventing the republican party? Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: It's hopeless. Somehow racism, bigotry and protecting permanent monied interests while screwing helpless people all while being selfish and condescending is hard to sell.

VSP Matt: (says nothing helpful or interesting.)

Bob: The Party of Stupid is going to retrench into The Party of Meanness.

VSP Matt: Pete Domenici (46) nailed and impregnated a close colleagues daughter (24). Jesse Jackson Jr is learning how to shower with his back to the wall for using campaign cash to buy Michael Jackson memorabilia. Rich? 

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: I hate Michael Jackson. Domenici a playa? Huh.

Bob: Republican males are especially good at being hypocritical sexist greedy pigs. I'm quoting scripture. Domenici was one of the pieces of shit who impeached Clinton!

VSP Matt: Oscars.

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: Silver Linings Playbook. Argo.

Bob: Zero Dark Thirty and Argo. Speaking of madness, the CIA courtesy of Kermit Roosevelt created the current madness in the Middle East by overthrowing Iran's government in 1953. Endless death and horror was the result that lasts to this day!

VSP Matt: I'm pulling for Silver Linings Playbook.

END OF SHOW AROUND THE HORN RANT

Torture Advocate Rich Lowry: Pre-K is a waste. Screw those kids. Just because it provides much needed and invaluable day care for working poor parents is no reason to help children or their parents. 

Bob: Lakers owner Jerry Buss was nice guy.

VSP Matt: Read two things: Time magazine cover by Steven Brill is great (It is. Read it.) and Jonathan Cohn's "The Robot Will See You Now".

See you next week! But probably not poor Vin Weber :-)

Grifting for Hate

Hate Grifters in the news of late. No links!

Ben Shapiro, the Junkie Limbaugh, the NRA, Westboro Baptist church, faux spews..

the most vulnerable possible group of people you can imagine—uninsured patients with emergency problems—are routinely gouged by hospitals just because they can

Tea bagging, conservatives...aka republicans...are to blame. Republicans are a disease. 

Stupid shit republicans believe, updated

Republican gun nuts think Obama is raising a private black army to massacre white Americans. Bat-shit insane conservatives know Harvard Law School is harboring dozens of Communists on its faculty.

There are no photos of dead bodies of the massacre at Aurora Colorado, because it is all part of a huge conspiracy on the part of Israel to propagandize Americans to giving up their guns.

The dead children at Sandy Hook is a hoax for Obama to steal guns from conservatives. Tea-Baggers say a majority of Americans oppose a 'path to citizenship'.

Wall Street is over regulated. Barney Frank crashed the economy. Raising the minimum wage will result in higher unemployment. Pregnancy from rape is a gift from god. Cowardly draft dodger and serial pedophile rapist Ted Nugent is an expert on firearm safety. Big Bird is evil. The purpose of the endangered species act isn't to protect endangered species, it's to deny people private property.  That GI Bill benefits are being given to the detainees at Gitmo.  Chuck Hagel takes money from a shady group called "Friends of Hamas". Conservative think libertarians are pussies.



There is no such thing as REAL rape. Global warming is a hoax.  Adolf Hitler and Abraham Lincoln are very similar. Obama won't fix the mental health system because he wants Americans to feel weak. Clarence Thomas is a splendid jurist.  Evolution is a hoax. Guns don't kill people. More guns will make us safer. Democrats are the real racists.  Reducing high-capacity gun magazines has no effect on gun deaths.  Obama was born in Kenya. Obama is a socialist, marxist, communist. Obama is a muslim.  "People are buying guns like crazy now. Not because they're nutty." "Hitler passed gun control." "The biggest myth of all time is that sweatshops are bad." Arming slaves would have prevented slavers.  "Asian people are not liberal, you know, by nature. They're usually more industrious and hard-working."  Only 6% of scientists identify themselves as Republicans. 100% of Republicans have no idea why this is true. Removing lead from gasoline was a Communist plot. Adolf Hitler invented church-state separation. In fact, it's a “a lie of the left”.  Radiation is good for you. Torture is moral and produces good results.  Neo-Nazis believe they can amassed 40,000 rounds of ammunition, kill black and Jewish community leaders and get away with it. Right wing domestic terrorists believe they have the duty to kill liberals with armor piercing bullets. Obama is raising a private black army to massacre white people.

Founding Father and 4th US President James Madison mandated heavily regulated firearm possession

Militias were tightly controlled organizations legally defined and regulated by the individual colonies before the Revolution and, after independence, by the individual states. 

Militia laws ran on for pages and were some of the lengthiest pieces of legislation in the statute books. States kept track of who had guns, had the right to inspect them in private homes and could fine citizens for failing to report to a muster.

These laws also defined what type of guns you had to buy — a form of taxation levied on individual households. Yes, long before Obamacare, the state made you buy something, even if you did not want to purchase it.

The founders had a word for a bunch of farmers marching with guns without government sanction: a mob. 

Lets enforce the 2nd amendment just as Founding Father James Madison wrote into law in 1791.  Insurance. Names of gun owners. Home inspections by Government officials. Musters. Training. Or go the other way and get rid of the guns. There are no militias, there is no slavery to justify muskets and it is still treasonous to overthrow the US government by violent means. Besides gun nuts, you are not going to take down the US Department of Defense with your extended clip Glock.  Either way most Americans don't give a fuck what Mobster Wayne LaPierre thinks or wants. A democratic majority are sick of gun violence. Buying a gun should be as hard to get as an abortion is in Mississippi or North Dakota. You don't like it? Fuck you. Until the US comes to its senses and either regulates gun violence out of existence or simply gets rid of them, if you are a gun nut, let providence allow your spouse, partner, parents, friends and especially your children have access to lots and lots of cheap, loaded guns.

Guns kill and more guns kill more. Enjoy!

The Second Amendment was Ratified to Preserve Slavery

The US got rid of slavery, maybe they should get rid of the guns. 

Now just 22% of Americans, nearly a record low, consider themselves Republicans.

ChimpCo dead enders to be sure.  Who could of known that bigotry and hatred are not good campaign themes. 

Since the election of President Obama why have 5 of the top ranking U.S. generals been removed from their positions? Gen. David PatraeusGen. William WardGen. David Mc KiernanGen. Stanley Mc CrystalGen. Carter F. Hamm

Um, going to take a wild guess here...is it because the US flag officer corps is filled with narcissistic fuck ups more concerned about adulation of their penises? 

Iron Dome. Billions of US dollars to Apartheid Israel so Zionist can kill sub-human pieces of Arab shit

Maybe the United States should stop giving Apartheid Israel free money, weapons and intelligence to commit genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians. 

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

John Kenneth Galbraith

“Today we can’t ride a manatee, tomorrow we won’t be able to open a business.... The purpose of the endangered species act isn’t to protect endangered species, it’s to deny people private property.”

But the right to ride a manatee is simply the first threatened liberty on a slippery slope towards a full government takeover of our right to abuse and manipulate other living creatures.
“We have to understand that the federal government could eventually interfere with the ability to have monkeys trained to ride dogs,” he explained.

Stupid, stupid republicans.

"Junior League of Hezbollah" or "Friends of Hamas"

But the fact  that these groups were entirely imaginary didn't stop Republicans from running with it, including both a U.S. Senator, a  former Republican presidential candidate, and the right wing media. That was a hilarious demonstration of the right's desperation, but we still didn't know how the story got wings in the first place. Today, we learned the answer. 

Conservative religious radio dickhead prays for "enemy Obama"

"We should be under no illusions here. President Obama is not our friend, President Obama is our enemy. He is seeking to restrict religious liberty. He wants to confine the First Amendment free exercise of religion clause to one hour a week."
