Galactically Stupid, Just How Unlettered Are Teapublicans?

ULETTERED REPUBLICANS

You have choices in life, follow reality, or follow fear and ignorance.

I truly believe that teapublicans really do take pride in being Galactically Stupid. Just consider all the things we've heard over the last few years. Some still believe there was WMD in Iraq or that Saddam was involved in the 9/11 attack, some believe hurricane Katrina hit because of the abortions conducted in America. Some are Galactically Stupid of science and believe that intelligent design or creationism is a valid alternative to evolution. Some also demonstrate their ignorance of science by believing that the scientific consensus on climate change can be ignored because they don’t like the findings. Some are so Galactically Stupid of our own history that they are unaware of the intent of the founding fathers to create a secular government with separation of church and state.

Teapublicans have a made a real effort to distort history as much as possible of late - to the point where they are now seeking to rewrite history again. The teapublican party has bent over backwards to present their own twisted version of history, and it’s starting to look like that one requirement to be a teapublican is to be Galactically Stupid on historical facts and events.

Galactically Stupid




Below is a list of the many historical facts that Teapublicans have either distorted or have just gotten plain wrong along with corrections of their errors.

Were The Founding Fathers A Group Of Right Wingers 

Teapublicans have been crisscrossing the country trying to convince Americans that the Founding Fathers were conservatives. But were they really? The answer to this question is absolutely not. If the Founding Fathers were conservatives they would never have revolted against England. One can hardly call breaking away from the most powerful nation on Earth at the time a conservative act. Plus, the Founding Fathers supported a strong federal government, believed in civil rights, supported separation of church and state, despised corporations, and believed the government had the power to provide health care and levy taxes. This is why the Supreme Court throughout American history has rarely ruled laws unconstitutional using the Tenth Amendment.

Did The Founding Fathers Support A Strong Federal Government Or A Weak One

This is an easy one. Teapublicans are dead wrong when they claim that the Founding Fathers wanted a weak federal government. And that is simple to prove. Before we had the Constitution, America was a loose alliance of states under the Articles of Confederation. Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was weak. So weak in fact that it didn’t have the power to levy taxes, could not regulate commerce, and relied on the states to provide money for defense. The states had all the power and the federal government had virtually none. This was a chaotic system that threatened to tear apart the new nation. So the Founders wrote the Constitution which created a strong central government capable of levying taxes, regulating commerce, printing money, and forming a military. Most importantly, under the Constitution, the federal government was given the power to provide for the general welfare and the states were given far less power. Teapublicans will often cite the Tenth Amendment as proof of state supremacy but they’re wrong about that too. After the Constitution was ratified, some wanted to add an amendment limiting the federal government to powers “expressly” delegated, which would have denied implied powers. However, the word “expressly” ultimately did not appear in the Tenth Amendment as ratified, and therefore the Tenth Amendment did not reject the powers implied by the Necessary and Proper Clause. In other words, the federal government has the power to make laws about things that are not found in the Constitution such as health care.


Is Social Security A "Ponzi Scheme" 

When Rick Perry called Social Security a “ponzi scheme” in the first GOP Debate, he not only made a political mistake of epic proportions, he was also dead wrong. Social Security was created to keep senior citizens out of poverty and it has done a wonderful job of doing just that. When people put money into a ponzi scheme, they don’t get it back. Social Security, however, gives the money back plus more to every person who puts money into the system. It’s far from being a ponzi scheme. The real ponzi scheme is the private health insurance business which takes money from you and then drops you when you need medical car


What Is The Constitutionality Of Federally Mandated Health Care

 Is federally mandated health care unconstitutional? According to Teapublicans it is. But that’s not what the Founding Fathers thought. Congress passed and John Adams signed, a mandatory health care insurance law back in 1791. The mandate required sailors to pay a tax and in the event they needed care, they could get medical care from the government. If it was unconstitutional as Teapublicans claim, why didn’t Thomas Jefferson or James Madison repeal it? The fact is, they didn’t, and I’d say James Madison knew more about the Constitution than any Republican does, considering he’s the primary author of that sacred document.


What Did The Founding Fathers Think About Corporations

Corporations are people according to Teapublicans. They even believe the Founding Fathers loved corporations. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The truth is that the Founding generations distrusted corporations with a passion. That’s why corporations were regulated rather harshly compared to the pampering Teapublicans give them today. Corporations were limited to an existence of 20-30 years and could only deal in one commodity, could not hold stock in other companies, and their property holdings were limited to what they needed to accomplish their business goals. And perhaps the most important facet of all this is that most states in the early days of the nation had laws on the books that made any political contribution by corporations a criminal offense. If the Founding Fathers were still alive and reinstated these regulations, Teapublicans would be accusing George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the rest of the founders of being evil, un-American socialists.


Did 9/11 Happen On George Bush’s Watch

How many times have we heard a Republican or right-wing talking head on Fox say that no terrorist attacks happened when George W. Bush was President? In July, Fox News host Eric Bolling said “we were certainly safe between 2000 and 2008 — I don’t remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time.” Other Teapublicans such as Rudy Guiliani and Dana Perino also “misremember” that period of time. I seem to recall sitting in a 20th Century History course at my high school on September 11, 2001 when terrorists struck the World Trade Center in New York City. And as I also recall, George W. Bush was President at the time.


Who Signed The Smoot-Hawley Act 

Many Teapublicans still have anti–New Deal views. Michele Bachmann blamed FDR for turning a recession into a depression by passing the “Hoot-Smalley Tariff”. Except that FDR didn’t pass it. Hoover did, three years before FDR took the oath of office. Oh, and it’s Smoot-Hawley, NOT “Hoot-Smalley”.


Was Martin Luther King Jr. A Republican

Teapublicans claim that Martin Luther King was a Republican. So they can explain this part of a speech by King, right? In one speech, he stated that “something is wrong with capitalism” and claimed, “There must be a better distribution of wealth, and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.” So, by claiming King as one of their own - you can assume teapublicans are also adopting his philosophy?


Was Joseph McCarthy A Hero

Another idol of the teapublican party is Joseph McCarthy. Teapublicans are now rewriting school books to present McCarthy as a hero who did no wrong. In reality, where the rest of us live, Joseph McCarthy was nothing more than a witch hunter who accused innocent Americans of being communists. He had no real evidence that people were communists and he should have recognized that people have the right to be part of any political party they choose. He violated the Constitution and ignored the values of freedom that we hold dear. Just like teapublicans today.


Did Ronald Reagan Only Lower Taxes

Worshiping Ronald Reagan means you also have to believe that Reagan never raised taxes during his Presidency, but this constant right-wing claim is false. While he did cut taxes in 1981 and again in 1988, Reagan actually raised taxes every year from 1981 to 1987 including The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 which, at the time, had been the largest peacetime tax increase in U.S. history, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, a higher gasoline levy, a higher payroll tax, and a 1986 tax reform deal that included the largest corporate tax increase in American history.


Was D-Day All About Health Care

Teapublicans have been very vocal about the Affordable Care Act and Rick Santorum is no exception. He has made the claim that Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-Day because they opposed Obamacare. He said, “Almost 60,000 average Americans had the courage to go out and charge those beaches on Normandy, to drop out of airplanes who knows where, and take on the battle for freedom … Those Americans risked everything so they could make {their own} decision on their health care plan.”

This is absurd. The men that stormed the Omaha and Utah beaches were fighting to liberate Europe from Nazi rule. They weren’t thinking about health care 67 years into the future. They were thinking of their families and whether they’d ever see them again. Santorum also fails to realize that military personnel and their dependents have government-run health care. And the soldiers aren’t complaining about it either. And as a matter of fact, many World War II veterans and their families also have Medicare which is also run by the federal government. That blows Santorum’s claim out of the water.


Do States Have The Right To Secede 

After President Obama took office, many teapublican legislators and governors, particularly in the South, began threatening secession. They say secession is a right but is it really? The answer is absolutely not. Not only did the Civil War settle this dispute, James Madison and Andrew Jackson (both Southerners) also rejected this claim. Nowhere in the Constitution will you find the right to secede. The Constitution was created by the people “in order to form a more perfect union” and by seceding, a state breaks up the nation, thus breaking a legally binding contract. And Andrew Jackson once threatened to march an army to South Carolina after that state threatened to secede. In fact, Jackson felt that secession was treason. The Supreme Court has also weighed in on this issue. In Texas v White, the court held that the Constitution did not permit states to secede from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances, were “absolutely null”.


Was The Civil War Fought Over State’s Rights 

Teapublicans claim that it was all about state’s rights and not about slavery. The truth is, state’s rights only played a small role. The South feared that President Lincoln would end slavery, so they took preemptive measures by seceding from the Union and attacked Fort Sumter without any provocation. Slavery was, without a doubt, the main cause of the war between the states. Without slavery, white plantation owners would have to pick their own cotton, or, pay people to do it for them. They also believed Africans to be inferior and would not tolerate their freedom. We should all keep that in mind as the South/teapublican home base continues to make claims that they aren’t racist.
Was The American Revolution Fought To End Slavery 

Yet another claim that David Barton makes in an attempt to present the founding generation as perfect, is that the American Revolution was waged to end slavery. Once again, Barton makes a claim that is completely false. The American Revolution was fought to win American independence from Great Britain. Slaves were certainly not freed before, during, or after the war. They remained as slaves and would be slaves until the Civil War.
Did Benjamin Franklin Reject Evolution 

We continue with the lack of knowledge of the Founding Fathers among the reich-wing. Many teapublicans have been making the claim that Benjamin Franklin rejected evolution. There are two problems with this claim. First, the theory of evolution wasn’t around until Charles Darwin published the theory in 1859, nearly 70 years after Franklin died in 1790. And secondly, Franklin was a man of science above all else. It is unlikely that he would have rejected a scientific theory in favor of creationism. Franklin in fact, rejected the dogma and divinity of Christianity.
Was America Founded As A Christian State 

Ever heard of David Barton? He’s the guy that Glenn Beck goes to when he wants to distort history. David Barton claims that the Founding Fathers intended the United States to be a Christian state. Many teapublicans have since picked up on this claim and have been shamelessly using it to court the Christian reich-wing, and as a reason to end the separation of church and state that has been part of this country since its founding. His claim can be trounced with one question. If the Founding Fathers wanted America to be a Christian state why did they not say so in the Constitution? Instead, the Founders placed this in the document.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
~First Amendment, Bill of Rights of the Constitution

In other words, there is to be absolutely NO state religion.


Did The Founding Fathers End Slavery

Michelle Bachmann isn’t through yet. During a speaking event she once claimed that the Founding Fathers were the ones who ended slavery. That’s a surprise to me since George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe all owned slaves. In fact, 12 of the first 16 American Presidents owned slaves. But Bachmann’s attempt to paint the Founding Fathers as saints is also a denial of past Republican Party history since early teapublicans rose to prominence by fighting against slavery and the first teapublican President, Abraham Lincoln, ended slavery altogether.


Was John Quincy Adams A Founding Father

Michele Bachmann evidentially failed American History in school. Because she has absolutely no knowledge of early American history. She once claimed that John Quincy Adams is a Founding Father of America when in fact, JQA was just a child when the Revolution began. He was born in 1767 and was just 14 when the war ended. And like Palin’s supporters, Bachmann fans proceeded to edit the Wikipedia page of John Quincy Adams in an attempt to make her claim viable. Galactically Stupid!


Was The Shot Heard ‘Round The World Fired In New Hampshire

 Did you know that Lexington and Concord are located in New Hampshire? I didn’t. And the people in New Hampshire and Massachusetts didn’t either. When Michele Bachmann exclaimed to a New Hampshire crowd that “the shot heard ’round the world” occurred in their state, I’m sure that Massachusetts let out a roar of laughter. The sad but hilarious thing is that most American children know that the first shot of the American Revolution occurred in the state of Massachusetts.

Did Paul Revere Ride To Warn The British

 Sarah Palin made the dubious claim that Paul Revere actually warned the British instead of the American colonists. Her supporters even made attempts to edit the Paul Revere Wikipedia entry to make her claims sound correct. If she had taken the time to read Longfellow’s poem, Paul Revere’s Ride, she would not have made this error, as the great majority of school children know that Revere made his midnight ride to warn Americans, not the enemy.
 Teapublicans understand that the lack of education is the key to controlling their base. All they need to do is distort and re-write history in their favor to win the votes of the Galactically Stupid.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
~George Santayana

Its no wonder that Mary and Joseph rode into Bethlehem on a donkey instead of an elephant.Words seriously fail me at this point. Without ignorance we couldn’t even have the current teapublican party. Everyone tries to rewrite history, or at least put their own spin on it, but the teapublicans have taken it to an Orwellian level.

Two-thirds of the teapublicans think POTUS is a socialist, 57 percent a Muslim—and 24 percent say "he may be the Antichrist." HUH
Teapublicans define themselves largely by the worthiness of their objectives and the sincerity of their motives. The teapublican party is abysmally ignorant about its country, abysmally!

8 Facts That Prove the Tea Party Is Galactically Stupid of the U.S. Constitution

I often rail against the teapublican party, and for good reason - their ideology is socially destructive. Teapublicans use xenophobia (damn those illegal's) and religion (praise Jesus, who hates pro-choicers) to substantiate the mentality, the mentality of the Galactically Stupid!

What the f**k is wrong with teapublcians and the total demoniac agenda they embrace and advocate for? Every day brings on a new statement or proposal that goes against everything civilized nations have come to understand as being rational and decent. We have pointed out that Dana Loesch who pathetically defended a bill which was approved by my state - Virginia state House requiring any woman seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound.

Please help me understand  - there is something seriously wrong with anyone (in this case, a so called woman) who equates consensual sex with a state-mandated act which involves inserting a probe inside the vagina of a woman who has not requested the procedure.

These radical people have literally lost their freaking minds.

If your on the Dana Loesch cruise liner, abandon ship while there is still time, this is truly one FUBAR chick!

BYE - BYE PAT BUCHANNAN

Loosen the hat Pat

MSNBC fired Pat "Racist" Buchannan the other day for being......racist ("the end of white America") All the GOP ers are in uproar, not because this pasty white old man is racist, but because MSNBC knew Pat was a repugnant POS well prior to hire, so then it's ok to be a racist, and Pat is just evoking his right to "freedom of speech".

Reich-Wingers cry foul on Pat's ousting:

Loesch diatribe.

Another Breitbart Puppet Ben Shapiro

This is the thing with teapublicans, they defend everything vile in our society, it doesn't matter what the content is, "it's a violation of freedom of speech". So, Pat's blatant nasty snide remarks are right up the GOP's alley.

The Bigotry Of Pat Buchanan

Move video to 3:13

GOP ers are well versed with two amendments of the US constitution, after one and two, it's a toss up or stretch to say they could get past three without scratching their heads and saying, "how many amendments are there? (twenty seven).

Freedom of speech and toting guns, after that, the hell with the constitution!

GOP Constitution

SIDEBAR: A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, and how quickly teapublicans forget, weren't they the very ones screaming and chanting union busting laws in Wisconsin, and hyping the fantastic idea of "Right to Work" laws?

I own two corporations in Virginia, which is a right to work state, which means in essence, both employee and employer have the right to leave, fire, at will, without cause. Hence, bye-bye Pat.

Be careful what you ask for I say. Pat was fired because MSNBC wanted to rid itself of this pungent nasty old man. Nothing more be said, what irritates the right is that it's one less nasty foul mouthed radical to be heard from.

Those on the right ask what was wrong with Buchannan's book, exactly? Its critics have labeled it racist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic. It doesn't matter WTF it was, you have served your purpose as "useful idiot", now take your pink slip and hit the curb!

A little history on Pat Buchannan:

1. Wanted to close the borders to protect white dominance. As he wrote in his 2006 book State of Emergency: “If we do not get control of our borders, by 2050 Americans of European descent will be a minority in the nation their ancestors created and built.”

2. Blamed lower test scores on minorities. In his most recent book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?, he blames minorities for dragging down the country’s test scores. “[T]he decline in academic test scores here at home and in international competition is likely to continue, as more and more of the children taking those tests will be African-American and Hispanic.

3. Claimed Jerry Sandusky’s atrocities are because of “Homosexual marriage.” Buchanan appeared on a right-wing radio show on November 15 to make some convoluted comparisons: “Let’s take this Penn State thing…these horrors, there’s an organization that marches in the gay pride parade in New York called—used to—called the North American Man Boy Love Association, which advocated voluntary sex along the lines of exactly what was going on at Penn State. Many of our political icons have marched in that parade right behind that NAMBLA float […] This is now, homosexual marriage is now the civil rights cause of the decade.”

4. Said the Jewish population in the United States dropped in the 90s because Jews aborted all their babies. Buchanan explains that the decline in the American Jewish population during the 1990s (a decline that a Brandeis study says never occurred), “is a result of the collective decision of Jews themselves. From Betty Friedan to Gloria Steinem in the 1970s to Ruth Bader Ginsburg today, Jewish women have led the battle for abortion rights. The community followed.”

5. Asserted Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 people including 69 teens in Norway, “may have been right.” Buchanan called Breivik a coward, evil, and cold-blooded, and then proceeded to defend his twisted rationale for the killings: “As for a climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world that is growing in numbers and advancing inexorably into Europe for the third time in 14 centuries, on this one, Breivik may be right.”

6. Claimed that all great nations punish the gays. In a Human Events column, Buchanan attacked California’s 9th Circuit Judge Vaughn Walker after his ruling of Proposition 8 as unconstitutional as a “judicial tyrant,” before going on to explain that “through history, all the great religions have condemned homosexuality and all the great nations have proscribed or punished it. None ever placed homosexual liaisons on the same plane as traditional marriage, which is the bedrock institution of any healthy society.

7. Penned “The Affirmative Action Nobel.” That’s the title of Buchanan’s October 13, 2009 column on Townhall.com in which he claims that President Obama’s Nobel Prize was simply the result of affirmative action. And the column only got worse from there: “They have reinforced the impression that Obama is someone who is forever being given prizes — Ivy League scholarships, law review editorships, prime-time speaking slots at national conventions — he did not earn.”

8. Argued that Poland and the United Kingdom had it coming in World War II. Buchanan seems to suggest in a 2009 column that World War II—and all the atrocities that accompanied it—was really the fault of Poland and Britain, for refusing to engage in diplomacy with Germany. “Why did Warsaw not negotiate with Berlin, which was hinting at an offer of compensatory territory in Slovakia? Because the Poles had a war guarantee from Britain that, should Germany attack, Britainand her empire would come to Poland’s rescue.”

9. Dabbled in Holocaust denial. Pat Buchanan danced alarmingly close to denying key facts of the Holocaust. In a 1990 column for the New York Post, he defended convicted Nazi war criminal Ivan Demjanjuk (whom he later compared to Jesus Christ) against charges from Holocaust survivors that he was guilty of murder by accusing the survivors of misremembering all of it: “This so-called ‘Holocaust Survivor Syndrome’ involves ‘group fantasies of martyrdom and heroics.’ Reportedly, half of the 20,000 survivor testimonies in Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem are considered ‘unreliable,’ not to be used in trials[…]The problem is: Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody.”

10. Argued Hitler was an individual of “great courage.” That’s just one of the quotes that the Anti-Defamation League attributes to Buchanan in their compendium of offensive remarks from Buchanan over the years. In 1977, he qualified his labeling of Hitler as racist and anti-semitic by adding that “he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier’s soldier in the Great War, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him[…]His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path.”

"So now MSNBC tries to take the moral high ground. Too little, too late. They shouldn’t have hired him; firing him now just shows how opportunistic they are. He finally became inconvenient to them. Too little, too late."

"In the end, those perpetuating this abridgment of speech are the biggest losers."

Teapublicans and any other "conservative" always play the blame game, "woe-is-me", take responsibility for your actions.

What a breath of fresh air, this racist, racist, racist, racist, racist now has time to reflect and research why racism will not be tolerated circa 2012.

Bye - bye Pat, you nasty old racist!


Teapublicans have:

Pissed off Gays and lesbians - check
Pissed off African Americans - check
Pissed off Latino Americans - check
Pissed off Female Americans - check
Pissed off the remaining non-teabaggers in America - check

Dana Loesch Proves Ignorance Is Not Bliss

Urintating on dead Taliban not enought for this "lady"
Dana Loesch

UPDATE: 2/18/12 19:39  Virginia Legislature Passes Occupy Vagina Law

UPDATE: 2/18/12 17:36 Despite the nonsense of Loesch Va. personhood bill sparks outrage. I guess Loesch is the only 'female" [sarcastic] to be against Virginia's Government "Overreach"!

Loesch in her infinite wisdom to remain radical and delusional tries to justify Virginia's "forcible rape law" as:

"Furthermore, the greatest number of abortions are obtained by women who already have a child/children, so they know how anatomy and physiology works. A lack of planning on the woman’s part doesn’t constitute a mandate for legalized (and in the case of Planned Parenthood, publicly-funded) murder."

"Cases of rape and incest account for around less than 1% of abortions [bold my emphasis]:"

"The pro-abortion progressive lobby has worked extensively this past week to classify Virginia’s straight-forward law as “rape,” even though the law doesn’t dictate what sort of ultrasound should be used before a woman murders her child. The easiest and most reliable way is the transvaginal ultrasound, more common in the first trimester. Progressives act as though there are no other options available to avoid becoming pregnant, prior to getting pregnant, and that the consequence from their choice prior to sex is the problem."

Inserting something into the vagina of an unwilling woman is a violation in every sense of the word. But not to Dana Loesch. Evidently pissing on the dead Taliban is not enough for this reich- winger [woman] [sarcastic]! Classy lady huh, nothing says class like Loesch!

The ultrasound requirement may evoke images of the abdominal sonograms standard in most pregnancies, fuzzy black and white pictures conjured by a wand passed across a woman's stomach.

But those ultrasounds are ordinarily done fairly late in pregnancy. In the beginning, particularly the first weeks, an abdominal ultrasound may not be sensitive enough to detect anything.

That's why doctors in many cases use a transvaginal ultrasound. In plain speak, they insert a condom-covered probe into a woman's vagina to obtain an image.

In order to satisfy the goals of the legislation - which includes a requirement that a doctor determine the gestational age of the pregnancy- a transvaginal ultrasound may be the only reliable course.

The bill, among the most invasive ever passed in Virginia, is the result of frustration by lawmakers opposed to abortion. Unsuccessful in making abortion illegal and unwilling to be frank about their goals, they have tried by technicality and obfuscation to make it harder for a woman to terminate a pregnancy.

And now this. In addition to the ultrasound, the bill mandates a waiting period of at least 2 hours and as long as a day before a woman can have an abortion. That waiting period has no medical necessity at all - which Loesch fails to mention in her diatribe.

This isn't about whether abortion is right or wrong.

This is about the scope of government. Even those opposed to abortion should have qualms about the government mandating medical procedures and waiting periods.

Under any other circumstances, forcing an unwilling person to submit to a vaginal probing would be a violation beyond imagining. Requiring a doctor to commit such an act, especially when medically unnecessary, and to submit to an arbitrary waiting period, is to demand an abrogation of medical ethics, if not common decency.

Loesch's real intent was to, as always, support the rhetoric of her boss - by spinning her justification to this diabolical bill, she manages to intertwine this bill with occupy rapes:

"If progressives are going to make the case for rape, let’s look at actual cases of rape, such as those which occurred in Occupy."

Staus quo with Loesch, instead of being dazzled with brilliance, we are baffled with bullshit. Why didn't she just continue Breitbart's "Narrative", which is, occupy rape? Why, because the "Narrative" is convoluted with lies and half truths. Lesson's learned Breitbart et al, manipulating videos, and ranting "rape", and "freaks" for a "stunt" is not a way to garner a following or to posture a position!

Hence the "false narrative" by Loesch.

I would suggest to Loesch that she learn the "facts" on abortion and murder! Maybe, had she stayed in college in stead of being a "dropout" -  that she could have been able to discern the difference between the two.

Just for reference Dana:
"Murder" is defined as "illegal killing with malice aforethought." Abortion is NOT illegal in this country and therefore does not fit the definition of 'murder.'

Friess: ‘Gals’ Used To Put Aspirin Between Their Knees For Contraception

"On this contraceptive thing, my Gosh it such an inexpensive--You know, back in my day, they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."

Random thoughts that I posted on my twitter account last night:

"Bayer is now going to expand it's line of aspirin: Regular, Children's and new Bayer Contraceptive Strength."

"Catholic church has banned the use of aspirin as it has been deemed a form of birth control by teapublican ideology."

"The best form of birth control is looking at congressional Republicans discussing birth control." And finally:

"I am guessing Bristol Palin was out of aspirin?"

What Americans - more importantly, what women heard, was evidence that "conservatives" white, pasty, redneck guys, and any Breitbart blogger -  ignorance rooted deep in the previous century, lives strong in the land of this radical group.

All told, if the teapublicans truly want to kiss off women voters -  the party need only keep doing what it's doing.

BREAKING: STOP THE WAR ON WOMEN

GOV BOB McDONNELL, STOP THE MADNESS NOW!

By Brian Devine (Contact) Link to petition

To be delivered to: Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, The Virginia State Senate, and Governor Bob McDonnell

"I'm writing to express my opposition to bills before the General Assembly that insert the government into women's private medical decisions. Please oppose HB 1, which would define a fertilized egg as a person and could outlaw abortion under all circumstances and restrict women's access to birth control, and HB 462, which will traumatize women by forcing some to submit to an invasive, transvaginal ultrasound before seeking an abortion.

I've had enough of this war on women and I'm asking you to get back to work on Virginians' priorities: investing in our economic growth, ensuring our kids get an excellent education, and repairing our crumbling transportation infrastructure. We sent you to Richmond to make life better for Virginia families, not make it more difficult for women to access comprehensive reproductive health services."

 Virginia may be the butt of jokes for late night comedians, but the bills coming out of the General Assembly this year are no laughing matter. Yesterday, conservatives in the House of Delegates passed HB 1, "personhood" legislation that would grant legal rights to fertilized eggs. This bill seeks to ban safe, legal abortion in all circumstances and threatens women's access to birth control.

Unfortunately, they didn't stop there. Anti-women legislators also passed legislation requiring many women seeking an abortion to undergo an invasive, transvaginal ultrasound. Just in case that wasn't extreme enough, those same legislators rejected a commonsense amendment requiring a woman's consent before she is penetrated with a vaginal ultrasound probe.

This war on women has got to stop. We sent our representatives to Richmond to focus on making our lives better: creating jobs, improving our schools, and fixing our roads. Instead, they've spent their time attacking Virginia families and interfering in women's private medical decisions. Stand up and tell your representatives to stop the conservative war on women and get back to work on our priorities.

HB 1 would make Virginia the first state in the nation to grant "personhood" status to fertilized cells. Make no mistake, this legislation is part of a concerted nationwide strategy to attack women's rights and access to reproductive health care. We have a choice. Virginia can be a casualty of the conservative war on women or we can set an example for the nation and fight back. Stand up and tell Virginia's legislature to stop the war on women in Virginia.

These attacks on women's health aren't just dangerous to continued access to safe, legal abortion. Conservatives across the country have trained their sights on cutting off women's access to comprehensive reproductive health services, from defunding breast exams to limiting access to birth control. We can't let them succeed here.

It's simply really: women's medical decisions about her body should be between her, her family and her doctor. Keep government out of it. Make your voice heard. Stand up and tell Virginia's lawmakers to stop the war on women.

17 Reasons Why Breitbart Is Not To Be Trusted

Everything You Don't Want To Be, "Andrew Breitbart"

Current TV's Keith Olbermann Pointing Out Andy Breitbart's Great Jouralism

Debunking Breitbart's "Occupy Rape List"

Quoting fellow blogspot blogger "St. Louis Activist Hub" Whom knows the Breitbart clan better than most:

"But what I think is so valuable about Olbermann's research is that it shows, quite dramatically, just how morally bankrupt the Breitbartian version of "journalism" really is. In basically every case, Breitbart bloggers twisted reality to fit their narrative. A real journalist would wait for conclusive evidence before declaring that some person or movement was responsible for rapes or sexual assaults; at Breitbart's sites, they throw out the charges almost daily based on their own interpretations of limited and ambiguous information. It's very much like the Kenneth Gladney case; the video was anything but conclusive; all it showed was Perry Molens pulling Gladney away from McCowan at the end of a fight. Yet Breitbart's gang of hacks declared that the video provided conclusive proof that McCowan and Molens had severely beaten Gladney, and they steadfastly refused to engage in an honest assessment of the evidence."

Why does Breitbart not defend himself on this blatant bullshit hyperbole? Why is it always that one of the useful idiots at "Big" - enter Lee Stranahan, - ends up cleaning Breibart's bowel movements, i.e. do his dirty work for him?

Well two reasons, one, money, like blood, is thicker than water, and coddling to the boss' ass is one way to ensure your still gainfully employed, second, it gives those the attention [ the "15 minutes of fame seekers"] that they normally wouldn't have gotten at home - because mommy failed to give them attention as a child. 

Comments on Stranahan's strory:

"Number sixteen: St. Louis. Again, the victim in an assault is identified as a member of Occupy, not the alleged perpetrator. ...

Woman assaulted AT Occupy. In her tent. That’s an Occupy related assault.

Wait – the assailant was homeless??! That changes … nothing."

Then why is Breitbart bellowing (drunkenly) AT Occupy to "STOP RAPING THE PEOPLE" when it's someone UNINVOLVED with the movement doing the alleged criminal activity?

For the love of Pete, Stranahan's logic is so warped and flat out dumb that he'd have to say that when that maniac killed the kids in Pennsylvania it was "Amish-related.

Like, seriously, gtfo."

Another:

"This whole thing makes a mockery of reasoning and is an insult to sexual assault victims.

"Related" is now repeatedly used as an excuse when previously it was used to condemn. Disgusting. The broadest definitions used to attach serious alleged crimes to a movement as if that group somehow isn't completely aware of, against, and actively preventing such activities. This is the foulest of narratives."

Another:

"The idea, pushed for months by these shameful websites, that the Occupy movement is somehow endorsing, advocating, oblivious to, or covering up alleged criminal activity has now been totally debunked. (Anyone could see it was complete bull from the start) Yet, instead of apologizing for this nonsense Lee Stranahan has taken all of an hour or so since Olbermann's piece to do some of his crack research to try to reinforce his shabby reporting (ie. narrative manufacturing).

Breitbart's bizarre and maniacal display at CPAC has at least served to draw attention to the lies he's been spreading about the Occupy movement.

Now he can go get some help."

 

Another:

"Wow, I was shocked to learn that all of the alleged sexual assaults were committed against Occupy protesters by outside individuals. We shouldn't be blaming the victims. Shame on Big Journalism. Shame on Dana Loesch. Shame on Andrew Breitbart. Shame on, whoever wrote this "debunking" article. Never heard of him before. Thank you Keith for setting the record straight.

You Breitbart people should feel really stupid right now. Keith destroyed you. Now, stop mass murdering people like you guys did in Seal Beach. One of your Tea Party psychos went on a killing spree and none of you have condemned that slaughter of human beings by a Teabagger. Shame on all of you for condoning mass murder!"

Another: Which is the most disturbing from the Breitbart asylum:

"For those still in doubt as to the nefarious nature of the Breitbart crew's despicable guilt by association attacks on the Occupy movement let me remind you of the time they attributed a murder to Occupy that actually occurred miles away and had nothing to do with it.
http://biggovernment.com/mikeflynn/2011/11/14/bre...
This disgrace was NOT retracted and is a perfect example of how the Breitbart people choose to "report" on incidents that might (if they manipulate them enough) fit their over-arching storyline. Just like the alleged sexual crimes used in Stranahan's list.

Gross."

 
Personally speaking, it's rare to see so many on this exclusive one sided/lop sided blog to have so many pointing out the obvious - that Breitbart and it's truthful fact finding bloggers (sarcastic) are providing CPR to the much needed faint heart beat of the teabagger society.

If you have posted in opposition at the "Bigs" site you get red warning flags like below, like its a bad thing. The red flags on Stranahan's post was larger than most, that is if not edited for content!

At our horseshoe meeting this am we where thinking, maybe, just maybe this blogger should stick to his "world renown photography training", for supporting Breitbart doesn't appear to be working so well for him!

Speaking of support, the numbers that despise and debunk Breitbart are a plethora, yet the only supporters in Andy's corner are Breitbart's "Big" gang, which at he end of the day, is both laughable and sad. But then again, liar, troglodyte, video manipulator, and teabagger are a cocktail that most sane American's will stay away from.

Ranting "rape", "freak" [whether on crack, the sauce, or sober] and other incendiary language for a "stunt" is disgusting! But this is the Breitbart we've come to know and love.

Breitbart's loathsome actions are sick enough, supporting his repugnant afterbirth is something straight out of Wikipedia's definition of Aleister Crowley!

How apropos, while visiting Breitbart's site I notice my anti-virus software "warning" me the "this site has potential dangerous and suspicious content"! I freaking love it, even McAfee knows slimy bullshit when they see it!

Virginia's Version of "PERSONHOOD"

PERSONHOOD VIRGINNY STYLE

UPDATE: 2/16/12 13:28

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

"This isn't just a hard right turn. It's been a U turn to the right," said Sen. A. Donald McEachin, D-Henrico and chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus. "Just look at what they've done: Drug-testing welfare recipients, clearly something that's got no basis in fact but meant to reinforce a stereotype. And those voter suppression bills, and the personhood amendment."

It’s clear that the Virginia GOP Legislature is willing to prioritize extreme legislation that could jeopardize human dignity and basic human rights! Personhood, its something that these Virginian's evidentially missed during high school educational classes.

Maddow Video Should Have All Americans Pissed Off, Not Just Virginian's: I am going to let Rachael's' video do most of the talking.

**Maddow has promised us another section on this topic tonight -
once its posted we will publish as an update** West 2/15/12 17:50

I lied, see why this bill is just oh so wrong in oh so many, many ways:

Women in particular, me in general are sick and tired of old racist, radical, teapublican white men making law and decisions for women. Teaublicans say they want less government; but they don't mind government interfering with womens bodies, our homes and our bedrooms.

Personhood USA is a grassroots, Christian (sarcastic) organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America to create protection for every child by love and by law. Personhood USA is committed to assisting and supporting Personhood Legislation and Constitutional Amendments and building local pro-life organizations through raising awareness of the personhood of the preborn.

Who's The Person?

So that you understand teapublican "personhood":

“This bill requires every single code section in Virginia that uses the word ‘person’ to apply to a fetus,” said Del. Jennifer McClellan (D-Richmond), a member of the Courts committee. “That opens families and doctors to a wide variety of criminal and civil lawsuits for health care decisions not only in cases of unwanted pregnancies, but every pregnancy and even miscarriage."

 And why is this you ask?:

Let me be graphic here, whether you like it or not women, against your will, you shall have a " Forced Transvaginal ultrasound" on you in which: "Your fetus has fingernails … and we’re going to show them to you"!

" Forced Transvaginal ultrasound" is a type of pelvic ultrasound. It is used to look at a woman's reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and vagina. Transvaginal means across or through the vagina.

You will lie down on a table with your knees bent and feet in holders called stirrups. The health care provider will place a probe, called a transducer, into the vagina. The probe is covered with a condom and a gel. The probe sends out sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives these waves and uses them to create a picture. The doctor can immediately see the picture on a nearby TV monitor.

The health care provider will move the probe within the area to see the pelvic organs.

In some cases, a special transvaginal ultrasound method called saline infusion sonography (SIS), also called sonohysterography or hysterosonography, may be needed to more clearly view the uterus.

While conducting the test, the resulting images must be shown to the woman, even if she doesn’t want to see them, with the doctor pointing out salient details, like limbs, fingernails, and the heartbeat.

The woman retains the right to look away — but if she does, her eyes are likely to fall upon the result of further radical bills which - Require abortion signs in waiting rooms and consultation room that start off saying “Notice: It is against the law for anyone, regardless of his or her relationship to you, to force you to have the abortion.”

There’s a old piece on the Huffington Post — written by Dana Stone, who’s a doctor and fellow of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists — that does a good job of explaining why it’s egregious. For example: It forces women to have a procedure done that is not medically necessary (and since vaginal ultrasounds produce better pictures than abdominal ultrasounds in the early stages of pregnancy, this law would often require women to have additional medical instruments put inside them against their wishes). As such, it violates patients’ rights to refuse treatment or testing.

In most circles this "forcible rape" is called "the “Freedom of Conscience Act.” It is unclear whether they are referring to the doctors’ consciences (i.e., if you force the woman to have an ultrasound and she still wants an abortion, it’s not your fault) or the women’s (because clearly you must be free from a conscience if you decide to terminate a pregnancy).

Either way this Virginia bill is both disgusting and vile, and Virginian GOPers have sunk to a new low, a new low to which would even make Aleister Crowley proud!

I thought of proposing an alternate bill to these asshats in Richmond called the “Freedom to Not Have an Ultrasound Wand Stuck Up Your Vagina When It’s Not Medically Necessary and You Don’t Want It There” Act, and; there ought to be a bill titled, "if you can't bare a child, sit down and shut the f**k up!

Breitbart Proves What We Knew All Along

Breitbart wins NFTOS' Coveted "Asshat" of the Year Award

This is an sequel to yesterdays blog. (see blog below this one)

"A Stunt"?! Andy Breitbart last night told The Young Turks, host Cenk Uygur that his rant was “a stunt to go over the mainstream media, to get people talking about the rapes.” (HUH)

Breitbart being.......Breitbart

In the second portiont of the interview, however, Uygur showed Breitbart several examples of the mainstream media covering the instances of rapes and sexual assaults at Occupy encampments. Breitbart tried to brush them off as “local media,” but Cenk gave examples from The Huffington Post, and one from ABC News that reported on the sexual assaults.

Breitbart explaining that this is all payback for what he calls the “smearing” of the Tea Party. This has been the recurrent theme of conservative coverage of the Occupy Movement, the reich-wing propagandists i.e. Big Journalism.

Bloggers like myself don't need to "smear" Breitbart and the likes, they do enough damage just by themselves. Might I suggest loosening the tin foil around your heads for starters!

Breitbart is playing games that I played as a kindergartner, which is exploiting those rapes to score points against a group (or groups) that he disagrees with. He doesn’t give a shit about the women who were raped! Breitbart’s rant wasn’t directed at Janeane Garofalo, or Keith Olbermann, or Bill Maher. It was directed at a crowd of Occupy protesters, which, statistically speaking, had to have included dozens of women who have survived sexual assaults.

Whether or not you believe that the assailants in these reports were from outside the movement (a point Breitbart didn’t dispute), the fact that he screamed “Stop raping people!” at a crowd that included victims of sexual assault is both vile and despicable, and belies any concern for these women. He called them “freaks” and “filthy animals.”

Just in case you missed the premeditated charade:

Sidebar: During Breitbart's 2012 CPAC rant, he revealed to the audience he had “videos” of Barack Obama from his college days. “I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him, “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”

More Andy:

“The videos are going to come out, the narrative is going to come out, that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver ponytails in the 1980s, like Bill (Ayers) and Bernadine (Dohrn), who said one day we would have the presidency, and the rest of us slept as they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted and they oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in the Annenberg Challenge and they had real money, from real capitalists. Then they became communists. We got to work on that. That is a parenthesis. Barack Obama is a radical, we should not be afraid to say that! Okay? And Barack Obama was launched from Bill and Bernadine’s salon. I’ve been there.”

Yes, more doctored videos from the most "prestigious film maker" of our time (Being extremely sarcastic). Thanks but no thanks dude, your reputation with videos doesn't say watch me with integrity.

Lets face it readers, Breitbart is many things, paranoid schizophrenic comes to mind, but more importantly he is a douche bag, the dirty rim around the inside of a toilet that hasn't been cleaned in three years, the maggot that thrives in your local landfill. I could careless whether this tool got his feelings hurt when the world called his party what they are -really, what ever happened to "sticks and stones"... I get threatened every day by Breitbart/Loesch followers, that's often the case when you blog for one side or the other.

Sidebar: I sometimes judge the impact I'm having on the world by the amount of hate mail or threats I get. It's a way of making something that could be disturbing into something positive.

Plus, they make for a great scrapbook. Or a lovely decoupage for the future grandkids.

I've always been surprised by people's need to contact others directly and threaten, demean, or attack them. It seems like a lot of effort for little return- but maybe I'm just lazy.

So imagine my surprise when I open my inbox daily to find myself deluged with over 30 nearly identical pieces of hate mail from different people around the country. Obviously I have pissed off some riech-wing follower of Breitbart, or better yet a website who sent the knuckle-dragging hordes after me. 

Breitbart is proof that words can cut and destroy far better than an weapon created. I have said often that "freedom of speech" is a dangerous tool when in the hands of those with minimal IQ. Enter Breitbart.

Andy, its early in the year, but NFTOS' staff is quite certain know one will top your repeated stupidity these last few days, so even with 10 months still to go in 2012, we proudly award you the coveted NFTOS "Asshat" of the year award. Congratulations Einstein! This would be two in a row for the "Big Journalism" tribe as Dana "Dive" Loesch won last years award.
