"WOMENS USE OF BIRTH CONTROL IS LARGELY FOR RECREATIONAL BEHAVIOR"

Sen. Mike Lee (Tea Bagger) agreed on Monday that women use birth control to protect themselves from “recreational behavior,” just hours after the Supreme Court ruled that some companies can refuse to provide health insurance coverage that includes contraceptive services.

During an appearance on Sirius XM’s The Wilkow Majority, host Andrew Wilkow argued that the real question in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., was about “whether or not a person who runs a business should be forced to provide something that is largely for recreational behavior, if it goes against their religious beliefs.”

Lee, responded by saying “Yea, that’s right, that’s right,” before claiming that “this administration is using the often coercive power of the federal government to force people into their way of being and their way of existing, their way of believing and thinking and acting.”

However, the overwhelming of women report using contraception for economic and medical reasons. Sixty-two million women in the U.S. are currently in their childbearing years and most — 99 percent — use birth control to prevent pregnancies, the National Women’s Law Center finds. Nearly 60 percent have relied on contraception for medical reasons like reducing cramps or menstrual pain, ensuring menstrual regulation, treating acne, and treating endometriosis. And according to a recent study from the Guttmacher Institute, 63 percent of women who use birth control say that they rely on contraception to take better care of themselves and their families.

CRUZ IS READY FOR ROUND TWO

On Sunday, This Week’s Jonathan Karl asked Sen. Ted Cruz (RWNJ) a direct question about upcoming budget negotiations, saying, “Will you rule out pushing to the brink of another shutdown by saying you would block funding for the government unless Obamacare is defunded? Will you do that again?”

Cruz didn't reject the idea that he would cause another shutdown, saying, “I would do anything and I will continue to do anything I can to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare. What I will do is continue standing the American people, because it isn't working, it’s costing people jobs, and it’s taking away their health care.”

Cruz and Sen. Mike Lee (RWNJ) were originally responsible for getting 14 of their colleagues to sign on to demanding the defunding of Obamacare in return for keeping the government open and, later, raising the debt ceiling. While some conservatives are still with Cruz in continuing to push for fights over defunding the law, other Republicans are calling for the party to move on. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called it “a losing strategy.”

While the shutdown cost the economy $24 billion and brinkmanship over the debt ceiling could still lead to another downgrade of U.S. credit, Republicans have little to show for it.

TEA BAGGERS HIJACK VETERANS PROTEST - CSA 2.0

I BET THIS CHAPS DAD IS ONE PROUD PAPA!

After driving the GOP’s efforts to shut down the government over Obamacare, Sens. Ted Cruz (Teahadists) and Mike Lee (Teahadists) headlined a march on Sunday to protest the closure of national parks and war memorials. Cruz and Lee shared the stage with former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin at the Million Veterans March. The Tea Party was out in full force, with attendees waving giant Confederate flags in front of the White House and speakers calling for President Obama to “put down the Quran” and “come out with his hands up.” One man was arrested at the World War II memorial with a rifle and ammunition.

Apparently, the original organizers of the veterans’ march are displeased with the Tea Party’s co-opting of their protest. On the Million Vet March homepage, the organizers suggest a local organizer invited Tea Party and birther groups against the wishes of the veterans:

The political agenda put forth by a local organizer in Washington DC was not in alignment with our message. We feel disheartened that some would seek to hijack the narrative for political gain. The core principle is about all Americans honoring Veterans in a peaceful and apolitical manner.

RACISTS LARRY CLAYMAN




The organizers say they are simply calling for war memorials to stay open at all times and disowned the “disheartening acts of a few powerful Washington elite and political extremists jumping on the opportunity to make money.” On their Facebook page, they blamed “certain groups that have piggy-backed off our grassroots efforts” for obscuring their message. “We made the mistake of trying to partner with some Washington insiders that thwarted many of our genuine concerns for keeping this apolitical and grassroots. While we support many of those groups common causes for Veterans, we do not support the manner in which they go about it. We chose instead to not incite or create panic.”

Ironically, Palin promised during her speech that she and other conservative public figures would “not be timid in calling out any who would use our military, our vets, as pawns in a political game.”

Radical lawmakers and the Republican National Committee have tried to use veteran protesters to shift blame for the shutdown onto Obama. So far, this strategy doesn’t seem to be working. Polls show most Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown, and both the GOP and the Tea Party’s popularity are at all-time lows.

It's truly amazing how humans can be this fucking stupid. If President Obama came out publicly in favor of oxygen, these morons would suffocate themselves in protest.

Hiding behind veterans is an old right wing nut job ploy. Nobody abuses veterans more, or has less respect for them - than the teabaggers. This is the typical hypocritical cowardice of the conservative.

This latest conservative blunt instrument of change if you will - much like the million trucker convoy this past weekend [ended up being tens of tens, not hundreds or thousands] - the million vets march on the memorial [again barely a hundred] - we get a couple hundred of the stupidest humans America has to offer up.

In many parts of America, waving a Confederate flag outside the home of a black family would be considered a very hostile act. Hey readers; stop calling that guy in the above photo with the confederate flag a racist, everyone knows that the confederate flag is a symbol of treason not racism!

How can you explain to the GOP that they lost the election in 2012, when they can't even accept or grasp that they lost the civil war?

GUN BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE LIKE KNOWING WHAT AMERICAN'S EAT FOR BREAKFAST

WHAT THE GUN HUGGER DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

No amount of stupidity can be defined by just one GOPer, and just when you think stupid has reached its acme, another republican dipshit steps up and proves us wrong.

And now enters NFTOS' "special kind of stupid" tea bagger of the day.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) compared universal background checks to the government spying on American eating and reading habits during an appearance on Fox News on Friday.

The conservative Tea Party favorite is part of a growing number of Republicans who have pledged to filibuster any gun safety package that includes the provision. The group claims that requiring private dealers to maintain records of the checks they conduct would lead to the creation of a government database or registry of all gun owners.

“The concern with those is that background checks in and of themselves aren’t going to work unless they are accompanied by some sort of registration system,” Lee said. The American people “are not really comfortable with the idea of the government knowing exactly what firearm they purchase any more than they would be comfortable with the government knowing when or how often they go to church or what they eat for breakfast or what books they are reading from the library,”

But this description is a gross misrepresentation of the legislation. Background check proposals being floated in Congress would require private sellers and buyers “to meet in person with a licensed dealer, where the dealer would check the buyer against the federal database for a fee.” The dealer would retain “a record of the sale” but would not send the information to the government, since current law prohibits the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from establishing a national registry.

The dealer record-keeping provision ensures that checks are in fact being conducted and would allow the entire chain of custody to be reconstructed in the event the gun is later recovered in a crime. Currently, 60 percent of gun buyers who shop at licensed gun dealers undergo background checks and the gun stores are “required to keep a basic record of the transaction.”
