SNL’ S PERFECT PORTRAYAL OF SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES, UPSETS SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES

Make America grapes again:

Fuckface Von Cownstick supporter Scottie Nell Hughes who was portrayed as a “full-blown nutjob” on Saturday Night Live has hit back at the comedy show, calling it “the ultimate shaming” and saying they never portray conservatives in a positive light.

“FULL BLOWN NUTJOB”




Appearing on CNN Sunday morning, Hughes said she was okay with the parody of herself — if not the hairstyle — but was unhappy with the premise of the skit.

“You know, I have a great sense of humor. My mother loved it — she thought it was the funniest thing; she’s gonna watch it every morning,” Hughes said.

In the skit, Hughes is portrayed by cast member Cecily Strong, who explains, “As a woman I like Donald Trump, but as a full-blown nutjob, I friggin’ love him!”

Stating, “you’ve gotta have a sense of humor and laugh about yourself,” Hughes said — after reading headlines about her portrayal Sunday morning — she was not pleased.

“Talk about the ultimate shaming, the ultimate sexism,” she said. “What does ‘SNL’ want me to do? Be barefoot and pregnant or maybe just talk about parenting issues?”

In an interview with The Blaze, Hughes went further saying she was “shaken” by how she was portrayed and that “tears were shed.”

“You’ve never known SNL to parody any conservative in a positive way — either male or female,” she said, “I don’t get paid to be positive about Mr. Trump. I’ve never been paid by him.”

According to Hughes, she was watching the episode and her daughter who asked her, “Why do they think you’re crazy?”

“So that was hard,” she said. “I had to explain that mean people and bullying doesn’t stop in elementary school. It continues throughout your life.”

 I would tell Ms. Hughes, that if it talks like a full blown nutjob, walks like a like a full blown nutjob, its a full blown nutjob..If you don't want your kid to see you portrayed as a full blown nutjob, then stop acting like one!

TRUMPS KNOWLEDGE ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS UNFATHOMABLE

Fuckface Von Clownstick, AKA Donald Trump has been a rich vein of comedy gold for Last Week Tonight host John Oliver, who once again hammered the buffoonish billionaire on Sunday night — this time for his ignorance of all things nuclear.

Calling Trump “America’s potential next president,” the HBO host noted that Trump seemed ill-equipped to talk seriously about foreign policy and nuclear proliferation.

In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper last Tuesday, Trump glibly suggested that countries that live under the umbrella of American security should step up, protect themselves and be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

“At some point we have to say, you know what, we’re better off if Japan protects itself against this maniac in North Korea,” Trump told Cooper. “We’re better off, frankly, if South Korea is going to start to protect itself.”

Asked about Saudi Arabia getting nukes, Trump replied: “Saudi Arabia? Absolutely.”



“He says that with the confidence of a man who could easily find Saudi Arabia on a map if he was given three tries — and the map only included countries ending with ‘Arabia,’” a smirking Oliver said.

Trump also stated that nukes could be used in Europe because: “Europe is a big place.”

“It’s ‘a big place’ is not a good excuse for using nuclear weapons,” Oliver explained. “It’s barely a good excuse for peeing in the ocean.”

Oliver then turned to comments made by President Obama about Trump’s interview, with the president stating that Trump “doesn’t know much about foreign policy, or nuclear policy, or the Korean Peninsula, or the world generally.”

“President Obama is basically implying there that you could fill a book with the things Donald Trump doesn’t know,” Oliver translated. “That book being the encyclopedia.”

Seriously folks, Fuckface is the last person you want near nuclear key codes, but what the hell, let him have at it! [Snark]

MEET FLORIDA WING NUTS PAT WAYMAN AND STEVEN R. FIELDS

CONSERVATIVE LOONY BIRDS PAT WAYMAN AND STEVEN R. FIELDS

A Florida county is considering changes to its charter review board after two elected members have focused on punishing political enemies through extralegal tactics instead of government business.

The Sarasota County charter review board typically proposes minor changes to the county charter when they meet three times a year, but critics say two of its members — Pat Wayman and Steven R. Fields — have been using their positions to usurp authority from other elected officials, reported the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

The pair have voted to establish a “people’s common law grand jury,” which sovereign citizens and other anti-government extremists have proposed to investigate and prosecute government officials for treason — which, as they frequently point out, carries a potential death penalty.

“Take a look at the French Revolution and what took place there,” said Mike Bolam, who has attended charter review board meetings to support the common law grand juries.

The board voted 4-4 in May to study a proposal by Rodger Dowdell, a Tea Party activist who denies being a sovereign citizen but, nonetheless, spouts sovereign citizen rhetoric.

“Grand jury powers come from God,” Dowdell said, advocating a return to the post-Revolution legal system where there were no police departments and judges rode horseback to hear cases brought by groups of 25 citizens.

Most importantly, he told the Herald-Tribune, those rulings would be kept out of reach of presidential and even U.S. Supreme Court authority.

“A people’s common law grand jury can, without any probable cause, go into any nook or cranny of government — local, state or federal — research anything that’s going on and root out corruption,” Dowdell said. “We want to government to recognize the contract we call the constitution, and start obeying the law. It’s very simple.”

His proposal failed due to the tie vote.

Tea Party activists have been trying to set up common law grand juries, which don’t actually carry any legal authority, for years in hopes of convicting — and hanging — President Barack Obama for treason.

Dowdell, state coordinator of the right-wing National Liberty Alliance, claims a common law grand jury was already operating in Manatee County, Florida, but he offered no proof.

“I can’t talk about it,” he said. “Everything is secret. In order to keep innocents who may be investigated from being damaged, whatever a grand jury does is secret.”

Wayman, the charter board member, posted a petition Oct. 12 on her Facebook page calling for Obama’s arrest on murder and treason charges, and she has also posted videos questioning whether mass shootings were staged in Sandy Hook and Oregon.

She also promotes the pro-gun extremist III Percent group and warns against a United Nations takeover of the United States through its non-binding Agenda 21 agreement.

Fields, the other charter board member, expresses conservative political views that are a bit more mainstream — with posts expressing his love for guns, law enforcement, the military, Glenn Beck, Andrew Breitbart and Ronald Reagan — but he also voted for Dowdell’s measure.

“If someone brings an idea that we can do, that’s something we should take a look at,” Fields said.

 “I’ve seen the federal government grabbing more rights away from people. They bribe states into federal control. The Charter Review Board should not be acting like the County Commission and protecting the status quo. And I don’t think (the people’s common law grand jury) has anything to do with sovereign citizens.”

The other members of the board are also unaware of the links between common law grand juries and the sovereign citizen movement — which federal authorities consider a domestic terrorist threat.

“That’s the antithesis of what I’m all about,” said Donna Barcomb, the Republican chairwoman of the charter review board, told the Herald-Tribune. “I don’t think board knew anything about that concept. It was a group of individuals who presented a concept to the board. That’s what the Charter Review Board does — not leaning one way or another. Frequently, the board will look at something and determine if it’s appropriate or in the best interests of the county. For the most part, and I include myself in this, we’re completely ignorant about the concepts.”

She said the charter board could recommend a ballot initiative that would put Sarasota County in line with all other Florida counties, which appoint charter board members instead of electing them.

However, just about 200 miles north, sovereign citizens are threatening to arrest or physically harm elected officials in Dixie County, Florida — where a Tea Party activist was arrested after trying to turn a legitimate jury into a common law grand jury.

“I’m getting harassing emails and threatening faxes saying they’re going to arrest me,” said Dana Johnson, the clerk of courts, told the Herald-Tribune. “This one says they want info on bonds and oaths. There are further demands. I’m concerned about my safety. The local sheriff has alerted (the Florida Department of Law Enforcement) and the FBI. Anytime they come up on our public agenda we have security with us at all times.”

Terry Trussell, who helped organize the failed Operation American Spring rally to drive Obama from office, has been charged with 14 counts of impersonating court officials.

“Once Trussell got selected to serve on a legitimate grand jury, it became the perfect storm,” Johnson said. “From that point, he’s taken it on his own authority to create a sovereign citizen board of common law grand jurors. I am constantly scared.”

The Dixie County sheriff, who said he’s known Trussell all his life and is acquainted with Dowdell, said the anti-government activists had asked him to help with their indictments.

“I said any order has to be signed by a judge — whether it’s a warrant or whatever — it’s got to be a legal court document,” said Sheriff Dewey Hatcher. “They ‘indicted’ everyone from the governor and (Attorney General) Pam Bondi on down to the president of our school board, and they said the school board attorney should be fired.”

The sheriff said he has not arrested anyone in connection with those indictments.

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.

KIMMEL SLAYS FOX NEWS AND CONSERVATIVES FOR ITS WAR ON CHRISTMAS

JIMMY KIMMEL MOCKS THE CONSERVATIVE WITH CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIE

Jimmy Kimmel repurposes the "It's A Wonderful Life" trailer to mock conservatives and Fox News' "War on Christmas."

FOX NEWS PRESENTS ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE




This is so brilliant because this couldn't be any more true. 

It's A Wonderful Life is about community and giving to others without expecting something in return for yourself - things that go completely against everything conservative in circa 2014. Today's "Christian Conservative Republican" would pummel George and Mary at the mere notion for giving away their honeymoon money to the poor lazy townspeople.

How dare they shame the one percent by giving to the lazy peasants. Republican Jesus would be so irate with George and Mary. Money is supposed to trickle down the hayseed as Republican God Ronnie had planned, not merely handed out as if its candy at Halloween. 

This goes against the very moral fiber that is conservatism as written by Mitt Romney. Conservatives have spent eons ensuring that the rich get richer, while the peasant becomes more destitute. 

If only these poor lazy schmucks would go out and get their forth job - they wouldn't be so dependent on handouts, welfare and entitlements.

AMERICA'S AWESOMENESS

STEWART BECOMES FLABBERGASTED  OVER NICOLE WALLACE COMMENTS

Jon Stewart struggled to find comedy in the torture report out this week. He fought his hardest to avoid talking about it, but had to do a “swan dive into the grim morass of Satan’s anus.”

Fortunately, he found two bright spots to hone in on. First, the return of “good McCain.” John McCain spoke out strongly against torture this week and Stewart very happily celebrated the fact that McCain is back to being the straight talker he used to have the reputation of being.

And secondly, Stewart burst out laughing upon hearing Fox News host Andrea Tantaros dismissing the torture report because “America is awesome.” Stewart said, “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard!” He and correspondent Hasan Minhaj proceeded to mercilessly mock Tantaros over America’s supposed awesomeness.

JON STEWART TO FOX & FRIENDS TROLL BRIAN KILMEADE: "FUCK YOU!"

STEWART RESPONDING TO FOX & FRIENDS

MEDIA COUNTER-ERRORISM:

As upset as he was over an “unforced error” on Monday, Daily Show host Jon Stewart saved the most anger for Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade for invoking the 9/11 attacks to paint Stewart as being anti-police.

“By the way, jackass, you can truly grieve for every officer who’s been lost in the line of duty in this country, and still be troubled by cases of police overreach,” Stewart said. “Those two ideas are not mutually exclusive. You can have great regard for law enforcement and still want them to be held to high standards.”

Stewart opened the show by apologizing for mistakenly listing Dante Parker alongside recent victims of police shootings like Tamir Rice and John Crawford in Ohio. Parker was actually Tased during an encounter with San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies this past August before dying at a local hospital. His cause of death was listed as a drug overdose.

Stewart was upset with himself for the error, he said, because it would shift the discussion away from the larger issues surrounding police use of force.

JON STEWART LAMENTING FOX NEWS ON FERGUSON PROTESTERS

Jon Stewart just back from a week off, laments Fox News and it's "paid" commentators for its views on the Ferguson protests.

The unrest inspired by the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and a grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in his death have nothing to do with race. Or so Fox News would have you believe.

Stewart looked at the skewed framing of the Ferguson protests by one particular network, Fox News. And then Stewart methodically ripped their posterior. He called out Fox News' hypocrisy, their blatant ignoring of "systemic injustice,” and Fox News' insistence that the protests were incited by "race arsonists."

GLENN GROTHMAN RATCHETS UP STUPID

GLENN GROTHMAN - NFTOS ASSHAT OF THE DAY

Wisconsin's Tin Foil Hat Society Representative - Elect Glenn Grothman couldn't wait until he was sworn into office before entering himself in the dumbest congressman contest.

GROTHMAN

Grothman is no stranger to stupid, as he has stated that single parenthood is the equivalent of child abuse.

Grothman doesn't just exploit misogyny, he is also fluent in racism. He's been known to disparage Kwanzaa, saying no one celebrates it and that it's a racist attack on Christmas. He also feels that making Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a holiday is an insult to taxpayers.

We're not do done, Grothman's dossier includes the accusation that the only type people "vote inappropriately" is when it's for a Democrat and that the working poor really don't want weekends.

We would be derelict if I did not include one of Grothman's truly moronic moments, when he said that teaching about alternative lifestyles in sex ed was part of an agenda to make kids gay:

Grothman's opposition to discussing and recognizing different sexual orientations in schools seems to come his belief that instructors who lead these talks would have what he called an "agenda" to persuade students to become gay.

Mr. Grothman is not just stupid, he's that special kind of stupid that takes humanity back to B.C. Move over Louie Gohmert, step aside Joni Ernst, there is a new asshat in town, and his name is Glenn Grothman.

With regards to Grothman, I think someone let the cheese ferment to long.

Glenn Grothman, congratulations sir, you are awarded both our asshat and worst person of world for the day. Enjoy numbnutz!

GRAND THEFT ELECTION PART DEUX

Last week, Michigan state Rep. Pete Lund revealed a plan that would rig the Electoral College to ensure Republican victories in 2016 and beyond if it were enacted in a sufficient number of states. Like similar proposals from GOP lawmakers who proposed rigging the Electoral College in the past, Lund’s proposal takes advantage of the fact that there are several large states that tend to support Democrats in presidential election years but that are currently controlled by Republicans.

Right now, nearly every state allocates 100 percent of its electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote in the state as a whole. Lund’s proposal would change that calculation in the blue state of Michigan, however, while continuing to award each red state’s full slate of electoral votes to the Republican candidate for president. If this plan had been in effect in 2012, for example, Mitt Romney would have won a quarter of Michigan’s electoral votes despite losing the state to President Obama by nearly 10 points:

It should be noted that Lund’s election-rigging plan is actually a milder version of a plan that has been around since at least 2011. More than a year before the 2011 election, outgoing Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett and state Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi proposed allocating their state’s electoral votes one at a time to the winner of each congressional district, with the winner of the state as a whole receiving only two electoral votes for this achievement. Because Pennsylvania is one of several states that Obama won in both 2008 and 2012 that is highly gerrymandered to benefit Republicans, this proposal would have enabled Romney to win a majority of the electoral votes in states where he actually lost the popular vote:

Corbett and Pileggi’s original election-rigging plan did not advance, however, at least in part due to objections from Republican members of Pennsylvania’s congressional district. Under the current system, where the winner of Pennsylvania receives all of its electoral votes, Democrats typically focus their campaigns on areas such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh where there are a lot of potential Democratic voters to turn out. If the Corbett/Pileggi election-rigging plan were in effect, however, the Democratic presidential candidate would shift resources into other congressional districts in an attempt to pick up the district’s electoral vote. That would endanger down-ballot Republican incumbents who would have a more difficult time retaining their seat if they were competing against all of the resources of a presidential campaign.

Lund’s election-rigging plan, by contrast, seems designed to allay this concern from Republican incumbent lawmakers. Under Lund’s proposal, “Michigan would award at least 9 of its 16 electoral college votes to the winner of the popular vote in the presidential election. The top candidate would receive additional electoral votes based on how much they beat the second-place finisher by in one-on-one vote totals. Each 1.5 points above 50 percent would mean another electoral vote. Remaining electoral votes would go to the runner up. A candidate who finishes third or lower would not receive any.” Thus, while this proposal would shift fewer blue votes to the red column than the Corbett/Pileggi plan, it also does not give Democrats added incentive to move presidential campaign resources into GOP-controlled House districts. Republican presidential candidates are happy because they get free electoral votes in a state that they lost, while Republican members of Congress are happy because they can run their races relatively unmolested by a presidential campaign.

Republicans in many states also flirted with rigging the Electoral College shortly after their defeat in the 2012 presidential election, although they eventually backed down after several key Republicans came out against the plan. One person who opposed the proposal the last time around was Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder who said that he didn't think that “this is the appropriate time to look at it.” It remains to be seen whether he will continue to oppose rigging the Electoral College if Lund’s proposal gains traction in the state legislature. [The above portion of blog is cross-posted from thinkprogress]

Well, at least this is more sophisticated then holding a bus load of kids hostage - which was their original plan.

With the story coming out yesterday that the Turd Blossom [Karl Rove] used anonymous Twitter accounts to share internal polling data ahead of the midterm elections, its no doubt, that along with Gerrymandering, and voter suppression laws, that the wing nut is trying to stack the deck, whether it be legal or illegal.

F-BOMBS FOR THE CAUSE

F-BOMBS FOR FEMINISM

CAUTION ADULT CONTENT.  NSFW

FCKH8 has issued its latest advertisement for tee shirts. This ad tackles the tough issues with feminism.

From FCKH8:

"Facing a future where women are still paid 23% less than men for the same work, and where 1 in 5 women are raped or sexually assaulted in gender-based violence, little girls between 6 and 13 years-old dressed as pretty pink princesses drop F-bombs to draw attention to society’s continued sexism. Asking the question, “What’s more offensive? A little girl saying fuck or the sexist way society treats girls and women” these adorably articulate little ladies in sparkling tiaras turn the “princess in distress” stereotype on its head and contrast the F-word with words and statistics society should find shocking such as “pay inequality” and “rape.” The video also features a 12 year-old boy wearing a pink gown standing up against sexism saying, “When you tell boys not to ‘act like a girl,’ it’s because you think it’s bad to be a girl."

Video from FCKH8





Now naturally, in the world of "Conservative Family Christian Values" - they are seething and foaming out of all orifices over these little princesses telling facts.The internet is overloaded with tin foil hat society members screaming "child abuse", "disgusting".

How shocking is it to hear little girls dressed as princesses saying the f-word, in context, over and over again?

Not as shocking as, lets say, the statistic that one in five women will be sexually assaulted or raped by a man, posits this new video from FCKH8. The social change company sells t-shirts that, according to its mission statement, act as "mini billboards for change."

Though feminism has been called "the other f-word," often thanks to a surprising number of people who are rejecting the term, this video is meant to serve as a reminder that the things feminism fights for can be far more horrifying than little girls swearing their faces off.

This video has social value because of it's shock value alone .When tea baggers, flat earth society and tin foil hat society members get shocked out of there comfort zones, they tend to take action. Unfortunately, the ad is laden with facts, which completely discombobulates the right-wing-nut-job.

FLORIDA'S TIN FOIL HAT SOCIETY READY TO SECEDE

CONSERVATIVES AND THE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY HIT SOUTHERN FLORIDA

One small city in South Florida is willing to secede from the state if it means the threat of sea level rise will finally be taken seriously.

The city commission of South Miami, FL — a city that sits just west of the University of Miami in Coral Gables — passed a resolution this week that calls for Florida to be split into a North Florida and a South Florida, a creation of an additional state that would allow South Florida to take climate change preparation and adaptation into its own hands.

“It’s very apparent that the attitude of the northern part of the state is that they would just love to saw the state in half and just let us float off into the Caribbean,” South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard said. “They’ve made that abundantly clear every possible opportunity and I would love to give them the opportunity to do that.”

Under the northern border of South Florida would include the counties of Brevard, Polk, Orange, Pinellas, and Hillsborough, which would mean drawing the new state line north of Orlando, Tampa and Clearwater. South Florida would encompass 24 counties and total about 23,000 square miles, an area that houses 67 percent of Florida’s current population.

The resolution — like all other secession attempts in the U.S., apart from the one in 1775 — isn’t likely to make it very far. In order for Florida to actually split into two states, the resolution would have to be approved by Florida’s state legislature and by the U.S.

Congress. But the three South Miami council members who voted the resolution into being still think the subject of sea level rise is serious enough to make the secession statement.

The resolution singled out Southeast Florida’s particular vulnerability to sea level rise in its reasons behind its call for secession from the current state of Florida. It noted sea level rise estimates of three to six feet by the end of this century, and stated that, because much of South Florida is low-lying and sits on porous bedrock, even a small amount of sea level rise can easily cause flooding and could pose a threat to the region’s groundwater.

“South Florida’s situation is very precarious and in need of immediate attention,” the resolution states. “Many of the issues facing South Florida are not political, but are now significant safety issues.”

Despite these dangers, however, the resolution notes that Florida’s capitol hasn’t been receptive to South Florida lawmakers’ concerns about sea level rise. South Florida has done what it can to independently tackle the threat — four South Florida counties have formed the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact, which has created a projection for sea level rise in the region and a Regional Climate Action Plan that is adaptable to each county’s needs. But these local efforts aren’t enough without support from the state, which is why the South Miami council members who voted for secession want to create a new governing body in South Florida.

“We have to be able to deal directly with this environmental concern and we can’t really get it done in Tallahassee,” South Miami Vice Mayor Walter Harris said. “I don’t care what people think — it’s not a matter of electing the right people.”

Harris may have given up hope on his state’s capitol, but over the last few months, climate change has become a hot-button issue in Florida’s gubernatorial race. Gov. Rick Scott has refused to take a firm stance on whether or not he thinks climate change is real and man-made, while Democratic challenger Charlie Crist has been open about his belief in climate change and its threat to Florida.

And though the voting to create a new state might seem extreme, South Florida isn’t the only region in recent years to consider secession. Last year, 11 Colorado counties, fed up over state regulations on gun control, agriculture and energy development, tried to create a new state, an attempt that failed. This year, a northern California county voted to secede and create the new state of Jefferson, a would-be state that was first proposed in 1941. Residents in western Maryland also pushed for secession this year, saying they had grown fed up over the state’s Democratic leadership.

"Flat earth society members" [Agenda 21 enthusiasts] have rallied the cry, that neither science nor scientist are culpable of emitting facts - and that they are full of more fecal matter than a Christmas turkey.

Maybe when these conservatives are floating off into the Caribbean - that this is a true reality and not some fabled fantasy - when dawning their tin foil hats, that the reality to join the fabled Atlantis as an underwater city is a very absolute reality. That their hotels will be occupied by octopi, and groupers shall hang out menacingly on street corners. Then there's the gang problem. This area is under Shark jurisdiction.

Seriously, I think there is a much simpler solution to this problem in Florida, quit voting Republican, and raise your educational standards exponentially higher than the fifth grade.

OBSTRUCT AND BLAME

It has been nearly a year since Vivek Murthy was nominated by President Obama to serve as the next Surgeon General, but thanks in large part to the gun lobby and their Republican allies in the Senate, there has yet to be any movement on his confirmation.

That vacancy has become a central focus in the last week as government officials and medical professionals try to calm the public about the spread of Ebola.

On Sunday, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd asked Senator Roy Blunt about the NRA’s role in blocking Murthy’s confirmation, but the Republican senator dismissed the question outright.

Blunt blamed the vacancy on President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has yet to put Murthy’s nomination to a full vote, and dismissed questions about the National Rifle Association’s efforts to block the nominee.

“The NRA said they were going to score the vote and suddenly everybody froze him,” said Chuck Todd. “That seems a little petty in hindsight, does it not?”

“Well, the president really ought to nominate people that can be confirmed to these jobs, and frankly then we should confirm them, there’s no question about that,” replied Blunt.

Earlier this year, the NRA launched a campaign to derail Murthy’s nomination because he voiced support for expanding background checks for gun purchases. His comments that gun violence was a public health concern raised the ire of the gun lobby and conservative lawmakers despite the fact that every major medical association — and several former Surgeons General under Republican presidents — shared the same view.

Todd questioned the wisdom of giving the NRA any kind of influence over the country’s top public health position, but Blunt rejected the notion that the NRA played any role in Murthy’s confirmation. “I’m not sure that’s why, you’d have to ask Senator Reid why he hasn’t move that to the top of his list to be confirmed.”

After the NRA began publicly opposing Murthy’s nomination, several of Blunt’s Republican colleagues including Rand Paul, John Cornyn and John Barrasso said they too would move to block Murthy’s nomination, and Paul placed a hold on the nomination.

Lawmakers and health experts have expressed concern over the lack of a Surgeon General to craft a unified response to the ebola diagnoses, leading to confusion that has helped fuel public fear of the virus, fear that is largely unfounded.

Blunt told Todd that he thinks we need a surgeon general. But asked if he would vote for Murthy’s confirmation, Blunt again refused to answer the question and blamed the administration.

“Until this came up, frankly I've heard very little discussion about the Surgeon General,” he said.

Rick Perry Is A Know Nothing 'Ignoramus' On Ebola

FEDERALLY INDICTED "IGNORAMUS" RICK PERRY

.....Says former Vermont Governor Dr. Howard Dean. Dean also said he discounts everything that the American Taliban utters. Amen Tell me again why Dr. Dean is not heading the DNC?

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean didn't mince any words when asked about Texas Gov. Rick Perry's continued insistence that we need a travel ban on flights from West Africa to stop Ebola from spreading to the United States on Chris Hayes' show this Friday evening while discussing the appointment of the new "Ebola czar" Ron Klain.


DR. DEAN ON RICK PERRY

The sad thing is, Rick Perry would be extremely offended if he was able to comprehend what Dean was saying about him. But in typical "OPPPPS" fashion, the verbal bitch slapping by Dr. Dean flew right over the Cuckoos nest!

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]
