I’m pretty sure Foxbots find the study of Spanish to be an attack on the English language, and the study of Asian history to be an attack on Western History. And as they spin around chasing their tails, the rest of the world can laugh and point. These are serious morons.

The horrible mishandling of the Iraq-War-for-Profits showed the true weakness of our country. It is not our military but politicians like Cheney who care so little about the soldiers that they don’t bother to learn about their enemy before attacking and fail to make war plans based on reality so that our soldiers have a fighting chance to win.
I don’t know why any military persons would support Cheney and his fellow chicken hawks who simply use the military to fatten the wallets of the military suppliers and to bolster their political fortunes. The right wing is the enemy of a successful military.

All Lives Matter? At first I thought the right was acknowledging police shootings of the unarmed. But no, once again white culture is appropriating a black cultural icon for its own use. Seriously, the right wing needs to get their own slogan.

I guess the Pope hit a sore with the big capitalist with his comments. So much so that he can’t actually address what the Pope said, but can only make veiled threats to not “protect him”
Trump clearly exposes the way right wingers think and act. His antisocial, bully-boy attitude is not softened by any socially acceptable facade. He is the alpha predator of politics, agree with him or be viciously attacked. In another era he would be taking out his enemies to silence any dissent.

Belen is south of Albuquerque-which is a fairly liberal city—but Belen is another story. Driving past the farms near Belen recently I saw the two large anti-Obama signs which have been there for a while, but something new showed up prominently displayed at one of the farms along I-10—a confederate flag. New Mexico is not in any way a southern state. It has large Hispanic and Native American populations, but a very small African American population. The only reason one would display a confederate flag in New Mexico would be to announce one’s racism. They must have some obnoxious people in Belen. But I’ll never stop there to find out!

Comedians have run for President before. I know Repubs don’t do subtlety, but perhaps via a Freudian slip, they are comparing Trump to a comedian because they know that’s really what he is — an entertainer posing as a presidential candidate. The only reason they are treating him as serious is simply to cover up the fact that up to 24% of Republicans would vote for this joke of a candidate.

I know that the right wing was trying to ‘defend’ marriage by excluding gay unions. But now King would like to exclude even more people from marriage? Its a sort of “we must destroy marriage in order to save it,” kind of logic.

I heard a millenial use this phrase recently when the subject of blaming others came up. Her elderly Fox watching Grandpa said he’d never heard the phrase. We had a good laugh as she explained it to him.

I was invited to attend a private Memorial Day ceremony arranged by a neighborhood group. I was very curious as to what I would find there. There were patriotic songs, a bugler, a young soldier for the flag raising, poems and brief speeches. I had to wonder if my 20 yo son would suddenly want to join the military after hearing all that soaring patriotic fervor. (He did not).
The speeches went well, providing a little history of Memorial Day, and fallen soldiers. It was nice for most of the event. Unfortunately toward the end there was also a call for renewed war in the Middle East, disparaging comments about lying politicians “who don’t love America” and a claim that the USA is a Christian nation. (Afterward my right-wing friend felt the need to point out to me that this was a reference to Obama) I’m sure most of those attending this gated community event were fine with those sentiments, but to me it was a disturbing and divisive thing to bring religion and politics into an otherwise nice community event.

HUME: “a lot of people who are not really making attempts to be fair-minded observers.” LOL
But even after his attempt to clarify, Bush wasn’t clear at all about how he felt about the idea to invade. He seemed more concerned that once the invasion began it was handled poorly.

I hope if Geller hosts another one of these conferences, that she is prepared to be martyred for her cause—which is (I guess)—the freedom to cartoon religious figures. It’s not a cause most people would choose to die for. Hey Geller—way to put the people in danger dummy.

“it seems like Christians are being targeted a way that gays and lesbians should acutely understand.”
So gays should sympathize with a group that wants to discriminate against gays but legally can’t do so, and feels that not being legally allowed to discriminate is a form of persecution. This woman is a gibbering fool.

How do you turn such a mild comment into a worldwide attack on Christians?

This is the kind if thing a preacher might say to inspire the flock to be more loving. I can see why she feels so defensive about it, and she should.

With a large percentage of Christian religions accepting gay marriage, this is obviously NOT a clear-cut Christian issue at all. It is a denominational issue.
There are people whose faith tells them there should be no organ music in church, do those people refuse to sell wedding goods to people of the organ music persuasion? It may not seem like a big deal, but one religion actually split in two over it.
Hypocrisy is pretending that this one issue of gay marriage is so definitive of Christianity that normal rules don’t apply—when it clearly isn’t so.

I’d really love to see Megyn bring in a couple of the Indiana legislators who voted for this law and ask them about their motivations for this law. It’d be great to hear them talk about how they have protected the rights of Muslim women to wear head scarves or the Jewish people who don’t want to work on the Sabbath. Unless Megyn is wildly mischaracterizing the intent of the law, and no legislator would want to make such claims, she should be happy to prove that her take on the law is true and not just B.S.
