LOUIE GOHMERT IS POSSIBLY THE DUMBEST HUMAN ON EARTH

Right wing nut job Louie Gohmert explained on Tuesday that he and other Republicans had voted against a bill to promote the recruitment of women scientists because it discriminated “based on gender.”

In a 383-4 vote on Tuesday, a bill authorizing the National Science Foundation to use its entrepreneurial programs to recruit women sailed through the House. Later in the afternoon, Gohmert took to the House floor to defend himself and the three other Republicans — Reps. Justin Amash , Glenn Grothman and Thomas Massie — who voted against the bill.

Gohmert acknowledged that the bill was “well intentioned,” but said that “this program is designed to discriminate against that young, poverty-stricken boy and to encourage the girl. Forget the boy. Encourage the girl.”
“It just seems that, if we are ever going to get to the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr., that he spoke just down the Mall, he wanted people to be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin,” the Texas Republican opined. “I know after race has been an issue that needed attention, then gender appropriately got attention.”

But Gohmert argued that “those things are not supposed to matter.”
“It just seems like, when we come in and we say that it is important that for a while we discriminate, we end up getting behind,” he continued. “And then probably 25 years from now boys are going to have fallen behind in numbers, and then we are going to need to come in and say: Actually, when we passed that bill forcing encouragement of girls and not encouraging of little boys, we were getting behind the eight ball. We didn’t see that we were going to be leaving little boys in the ditch, and now we need to start doing programs to encourage little boys.”
According to the lawmaker, the bill passed on Tuesday would have derailed the Madame Curie’s research, putting “millions and millions of lives” in jeopardy.



“I thank God that there wasn’t a program like this that distracted her,” Gohmert said. “But according to the bill that we passed today, we are requiring the Science Foundation to encourage entrepreneurial programs to recruit and support women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world. Thank God that is not what Madame Curie did.”
Gohmert, Amash and Massie also voted against a second bill that would encourage mentorship programs between scientists and female K-12 students. That bill passed 380-3.

Congrats Louie, you are today’s dumbest human of the world. Enjoy numb-nuts!

CAN THIS MAN POSSIBLY BE THE MOST STUPID TO EVER LIVE?

Louie Gohmert, who is possibly the most stupid person to ever hold an office in U.S. government -awkwardly invoked the Old Testament in order to condemn Planned Parenthood during a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday.
“[I] was reading about a woman that came complaining to the Prophet. She was in a city that was under siege. And she complained that another woman had talked her into a deal where the first time, they would boil her little baby and eat the child,” he said. “And then after that, they would boil the second woman’s child and eat that child. Well, let’s face it: this hearing we’ve heard over and over, ‘If it’s to save lives, it’s OK.’ I could not believe how reprehensible that was, how immoral.”
The Tea Party lawmaker was apparently referring to 2 Kings 6:29, which states that “So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.”




The meeting was called following the release of a series of videos by an anti-abortion group, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) claiming that it showed Planned Parenthood officials saying they made a profit off of fetal tissue donations. The agency was not represented in the list of identified speakers during the hearing.

Gohmert did not mention that the CMP videos were quickly debunked following their release. He also neglected to mention that both the federal Health and Human Services Department and investigators in five states have determined that Planned Parenthood did not violate any regulations in separate investigations.

Congrats Louie, you are today’s most stupid human of the week. Enjoy numbnuts!

THREE RING CIRCUS TENT NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HOUSE ALL THE LUNATICS IN THE GOP



While the House is scheduled to reelect Rep. John Boehner to Speaker on Tuesday, the vote may not go as smoothly as expected. Rep. Louie Gohmert , one of a number of Republicans displeased with Boehner’s leadership, announced on Fox News Sunday that he would challenge the standing speaker for his role.

In an interview with Glenn Beck on Monday morning, Gohmert outlined changes he would make in Congress if he were to serve as speaker of the House. In additional to removing the current “dictatorship in Congress,” and calling for abolishing at least two-thirds of regulations, he said he would defund “everything that means anything” to Obama until the border is secured.
“We secure the border and we make it clear to the president, yes we know we need immigration reform but we’re not changing anything until you secure the border and here’s the money to do it,” the tea party representative said. “We’re defunding all of these things until you secure the border.”

Listen here:




He also called for fiscal changes including throwing out the current tax code and ending automatic increases to federal agencies’ budgets.


In the interview, Gohmert touched on government surveillance, saying Congress should “stop the government spying on American people” and said that the government’s energy policies should not provide subsidies for any particular types of energy. “Let’s let the market tell us which energy to use,” he said.

Gohmert’s announcement came a day after conservative Rep. Ted Yoho  said on Facebook that he would throw his name into the pool of representatives challenging Boehner for the Speaker role. A number of representatives have said they would not support Boehner’s reelection, including Reps. Steve King , Paul Gosar and Jim Bridenstine , while a few freshman House members ran campaigns in which they promised to stand up to Boehner if elected.

The GOP circus needs to add another tent for the ever growing population of the assclown club. The usual three-ring circus tent is just not large enough.

TIN FOIL HAT SCOIETY MEMEBER AND IGNORAMUS LOUIE GOHMERT TO SEEK SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE




Watch out John Boehner! The Tin Foil Hat Society in the House are revolting! Wingnut Rep. "Terror Babies" Louie Gohmert made a "major announcement" on Fox this Sunday and said he's challenging Boehner for Speaker.

In the olden days, crazy-stupid men like Louie Gohmert were satisfied with living in attics, emerging only to yell at children and at inanimate objects from time to time.

Now men like him are elected to Congress, and for some perverse reason, his party and his constituents aren't ashamed to have him there.

CONSERVATIVE EBOLA FEAR MONGERING

DOES THIS DEPICT YOUR REPUBLICAN?



We at NFTOS would like you, our readers to view the thinly veiled racism and fear mongering conducted by the freak show that is the tin foil hat society.

I know facts are not important to conservatives, why have them when they ruin a great conspiracy theory? Daily we are bombarded by two cable news organizations, hyping the Ebola story to frantic frenzy. While CNN is not outright lying like Fox News, both of these institutions are exacerbating the situation exponentially.

Infect [no pun intended] the low IQ human [Fox viewer] with world ending catastrophic infectious diseases like "viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome" [Ebola] - then we get the hyperbole of ignorance from the flat earth society membership.

DIPSHIT GOHMERT AND BECK




ALEX WAGNER SHAMES THE CONSERVATIVES




With right wing nut jobs - one moment the government is too big and too intrusive, the next moment you can't get enough government to protect you. Which is it numbnutz?

How can we as country, can we expect to follow our allow conservatives to lead us any longer, especially when they deny the very science that is to stop Ebola?





If the narrow minded dimwits can't grasp the easiest of science facts, that Climate change, that polar caps are melting, that storms are more violent, that the sea level rise in Norfolk Virginia has indeed gotten higher exponentially over the last ten years, then how in the hell do we expect these science deniers to grasp viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome? The reality is, they aren't ever going to get it!

Let's face it, higher education is not something we associate to conservatives. The dumber the box of rocks the better for them is the narrative.

These short sighted Neanderthals couldn't mentally get themselves out of a wet paper bag, let alone grasp complex infectious diseases like viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome.

Fact:
It would be great to have a Surgeon General during this issue, because its their job to do so. As we know, Republicans will not vote on the current SG elect because he warrants stricter guidelines for the NRA. So for over a year, we have been without a SG. 
Fact: Since 2006 republicans have gutted government budgets in half, the CDC is no different as the tea baggers have gutted CDC funding by half, over 580 million dollars. The CDC said today, vaccination for Ebola would have been created by now if not for these budget cuts.

Now these two slices of the pie seem pretty important to anyone with an IQ above -500. Conservatives in typical hypocritical fashion, are now confounded as to why we have Ebola failures in the system.

Daily, conservatives are beating the 'we are all going to die from Ebola" drum. Conservative protocol since their inception, has been to fear its base and viewers.

Fact: Fox News won a Florida state supreme court ruling, that they where entitled to indeed lie to their viewers. They do it on a daily basis whether its Ebola, number of vacation days the President has taken, how a much a presidential trip cost to India, or Benghazi, these troglodytes manipulate, deceive and outright lie - and their base takes the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Until we get past the perception of "low information Fox Viewership", it can be only then when we tackle complex solutions like eradicating Ebola.

BREAKING: As only they can, Fox News and Conservatives have linked the connection between, Ebola, Benghazi, WMD and the Killing of Kennedy. The common thread, Obama. Damn you Obama! [snark]
