Do you ever get the feeling that Tea Party Republicans see the phrase “Ignorance Is Bliss” as a Mission Statement?

Who Is The Bigger Fool?


Rush Limbaugh a college drop out.. & busted drug addict. A man who has been married four times is the voice of the so called “Family Values Party”. His lack of education doesn't hinder his constant critiquing of the President’s policy decisions. No matter how complex the issue he rants constantly about drug dealers & addicts, oblivious to the fact that he himself is an addict.. The fact that he is in his fourth marriage has not stopped him from expounding on family values & morals. Gay bashing is another of his favorite pastimes yet he overlooked his disdain for gays when he paid Elton John a million dollars to perform at his wedding. The fact that you would listen to, follow, or take advice from this man says more about you than it does about him... — with Charles Tillery.

Be Calm...Please.....

A white woman, about 51 years old, was seated next to a black man on an airplane. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. 

 "Madam what's the matter?" The hostess asked. "You obviously don't see it", the woman responded, "You placed me next to a black man and I do not agree to sit next to someone of such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat". 

"Be calm please" the hostess said. "Almost all the seats are taken on this flight. I will go see if another is available. Please give me one minute." 

The hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Ma'am? I spoke to the captain and he informed me that no seats are available in the business class. All the same, we still have one in first class". Before the woman could respond, the hostess continued, "It is not usual for our company to permit someone from economy class to sit in first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting". 

The hostess then turned to the black man and said, "Therefore, sir, if you would like to please collect your hand luggage; a seat awaits you in first class". At that moment, all the other passengers who were observing, stood up an applauded.

Priceless! (Video)

For those who didn't see this last night, it was priceless. I have always believed in God, a power that is greater then me. But with that said, I do not believe in organized religion and have said this many times. I think organized religion is a way to control and govern. It is not Big Government that people should fear, but religions that teach others to hate what they don't know or understand.

The Right Hypocrisy!

Confirmed: Union-Bashing Right-Wing Media Stars Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly Are AFL-CIO Union-Affiliated Members

 I shake my head everyday.  I listen to the republican tea followers and the religious right as they fight for their freedom.  The freedom to follow like sheep the bidding of the wealthy.  Those in congress enjoy health benefits and a huge salary (paid in part by our tax dollars) and yet have convinced their sheeple that what is good for the goose is NOT good for the gander.

The right wing talking heads of faux and radio drugsters like Limbaugh spend 24/7 preaching under the guise of freedom to fight big government, fight the Unions and yet they live a life of wealth.

America's Wall Of Shame

Tracy Knauss
America's Wall of shame is dominated by hate, violence, racism and bigotry, which culminated in the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords in Arizona. This wall of hate holds America's destiny. If we cannot grow beyond the poisonous vitriol that spews from its confines, we will be unable to work together on our economic recovery to create meaningful jobs to stimulate and grow our nation to meet the needs of a new competitive America.

The rhetoric was even louder!

Tracy Knauss
Yesterday we heard a beautiful speech by the President at the memorial service for the victims of AZ.  It rang of true leadership and compassion.  But, I was quickly snapped back into reality by the right wing radio critics, the fans and friends of Sarah Palin, Fox, FB and Twitter and I realized the world was no different.  The hate was no different!  The rhetoric was even louder and I knew these people will never change.  These people who call themselves Christians are fooling themselves and others in the name of God.  If Satan does exist he is running ramp id through the hearts and actions of the religious right, the tea party and those like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck! The False Profits have arrived and just like the Bible promised they have come up out of the churches and they are here to destroy!-Mem

Dear “Patriots,”
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords isn't much older than I am. She served in the Arizona State House of Representatives, and the Arizona State Senate, before being elected to three successive terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. She once described herself as a "former Republican," and is today considered a "Blue Dog" Democrat, meaning she holds a number of conservative political positions.

We hear a lot of talk about the “Bush Tax Cuts.” And why not? According to Newsweek, George W. Bush “earns” $4.2 million from paid speeches, public appearances and miscellaneous punditry each year. Hence the Bush Tax Cuts cut Bush’s own taxes by an amazing $187,552 each year. And that’s not even counting how much the Bush tax cuts engorge Bush’s investment income.

So Bush cut his own taxes. No wonder Bush is in favor of extending those tax cuts.

He’s not the only one. Here is how much the Bush tax cuts benefit – each year – some other folks you may have heard of:

Another Article That Just Has To Be In My Scrapbook

For those of you who may not know. I started this scrapbook during the elections for my granddaughter. It is VERY important to me (especially now that we know states like Texas are free to re-write history) that she know what was happening during these times that our First Black President was elected. My intentions were to post something everyday and then find an interesting story to post with it. As it has turns out I can't even begin to post all the articles that are coming out from every source right now or write on everything that is happening. Much of the time I just feel overwhelmed by the way our Country has become so I try to choose articles that I really enjoy and that I feel makes a difference or says it all. I want my granddaughter and your grandchildren to know who fought for them and what really happened. I post what I know to be the truth. Today I have chosen this one from The Immoral Minority because it really does say it all right now.

Conservatives' perpetual dishonesty machine...

Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh regularly tout their supposed accuracy and often claim their critics never prove them wrong. Fittingly, this in itself is a complete falsehood. Limbaugh and Beck are wrong for a living, but have been rewarded for their perpetual wrongness by assuming the role of the two most important cogs in the conservative media.

Every day, the conservative noise machine -- Fox News, Beck, Limbaugh, and other prominent conservative talk radio hosts and bloggers -- hurl false accusations with the hopes of damaging the Obama administration, Democrats, and progressives politically. Make no mistake: this is the primary motivation for the majority of the stories they promote. Pesky things like "facts" and "reality" are, at best, a trivial concern.

Often, these attacks are baseless, easily debunked, and laughably absurd -- yet conservative media outlets rarely (if ever) offer corrections when they are proven wrong. Instead they either double down on their attacks or simply ignore that they were wrong in the first place and move on to the next overhyped bit of nonsense.

While it may seem like a minor story in the grand scheme of things, one example from this week perfectly exemplifies the utter lack of journalistic standards endemic to conservative media.

Early this week, conservatives were in their usual panic mode over what they claimed was evidence that the Obama administration "backed" or "preferred" the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the terrorist better known as the Lockerbie bomber. As we pointed out, reports -- often the same reports these conservatives were linking to in order to make their arguments -- indicated that the administration wanted Megrahi to remain imprisoned, with the stipulation that if he were to be released, he should remain in Scotland rather than risk him receiving an "extremely inappropriate" "welcoming reception" upon being transferred to Libya.

Fox News twisted reality to claim that the "U.S. Backed Freedom, Not Prison, for Bomber." Matt Drudge splashed a huge headline across his website announcing that the "White House Backed Release Of Lockerbie Bomber." Pam Geller -- whose deranged rantings have earned her frequent appearances on Fox News and bylines on Andrew Breitbart's "Big" websites, Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller, and the American Thinker -- called for a "special investigation" and a "charge of treason" for Obama.

Rush Limbaugh -- while bragging, as he often does, that he was "executing assigned host duties flawlessly" with "zero mistakes" --claimed that Obama "backed the release" of the Lockerbie bomber because he wanted to "make nice with the Muslim world."

Late Monday, when the State Department released the administration's correspondence with the Scottish Ministry of Justice, it confirmed in unambiguous terms that the administration was "not prepared to support Megrahi's release on compassionate release or bail," and that "it would be most appropriate for Megrahi to remain imprisoned for the entirety of his sentence."

So, after this story completely fell apart, did conservative media figures correct the record and let their readers/listeners/viewers know that the administration did not "support" or "prefer" the release of the Lockerbie bomber?

Of course not.

Conservative blogger Jim Hoft -- whose ongoing popularity and influence in conservative media says a lot about their complete indifference to accuracy and credibility -- linked to the letter and proclaimed that the administration "preferred" his release. This was akin to pointing at the ground and saying "this is the sky."

Fox Nation, almost 48 hours after the story had completely fallen apart, still had the following headline and image on their front page:

An open letter from movie critic Roger Ebert to Rush Limbaugh over Haiti comments

By rPulse, January 15, 2010, 1:21 pm
Roger Ebert has taken on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh over comment he made about the Haiti relief efforts.

Limbaugh has been critical of President Barack Obama’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. On Wednesday, Limbaugh was upset with Obama for responding so quickly to the crises, then suggested that donated money could be stolen if you donate to relief agencies listed on the White House Web site.

This is the open letter from Ebert to Limbaugh.

To: Rush Limbaugh
From: Roger Ebert

You should be horse-whipped for the insult you have paid to the highest office of our nation.

Having followed President Obama’s suggestion and donated money to the Red Cross for relief in Haiti, I was offended to hear you suggest the President might be a thief capable of stealing money intended for the earthquake victims.

Here is a transcript from your program on Thursday:

Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: “Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go to the White House page to donate?”
Limbaugh: “Exactly. Would you trust the money’s gonna go to Haiti?”
Justin: “No.”
Rush: “But would you trust that your name’s gonna end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?”
Justin: “Absolutely!”
Limbaugh: “Absolutely!”

That’s what was said.

Unlike you and Justin of Raleigh, I went to Obama’s web site, and discovered the link there leads directly to the Red Cross. I can think of a reason why anyone might want to go via the White House. That way they can be absolutely sure they’re clicking on the Red Cross and not a fake site set up to exploit the tragedy.

But let me be sure I have this right. You and Justin agree that Obama might steal money intended for the Red Cross to help the wretched of Haiti.

This conversation came 48 hours after many of us had seen pitiful sights from Port au Prince. Tens of thousands are believed still alive beneath the rubble. You twisted their suffering into an opportunity to demean the character of the President of the United States.

You have a sizable listening audience. You apparently know how to please them. Anybody given a $400 million contract must know what he is doing.

That’s what offends me. You know exactly what you’re doing.
