1. I wish I had a spray: "Repub B Gone"

I'm so sick and tired of the stupid comments and ideas of Republicans that I'd spray each and every one of them!

(The spray, of course, would be eco-friendly)

3. Glenn Grothman

Glenn Grothman.

Wisconsin's answer to Michelle Bachmann.

WTF. I had hopes that he was too nutball for even his district to elect him. I forgot about the right wing's uncanny ability to always sink lower than you thought they could possibly go. It's like a goddamn superpower.

What will happen when they're at the planck length away from the bottom of the barrel? Physicists should start looking into the quantum implications of that! Can you get closer than the planck length to the bottom of the barrel? If you can, will it require new fundamental physics equations?

a lot of Republicans will see that he's anti-choice or see that he's got the NRA stamp of approval and that's all they will care about.

...understand the people who would vote for Grothman. Really, there are people out there (besides the job creators ) who think having two days off every week is a bad thing?

5. Unfortunately, the economy growing isn't good news for most of us.

When that growth is still going to the top, it doesn't mean much to us as the bottom.

"Atheist Agenda"???

Really?


The psychotic kid and the gun-humping mother that allowed access to weapons (in a home with a person of KNOWN mental imbalances at best) had NOTHING to do with Sandy Hook....it was all atheists?

I believe the blood of Sandy Hook is squarely on the religious wrong and their total inability to understand simple things like the law of cause and effect...gun+psycho=opportunity for tragedy....atheist + "agenda" = ????

I truly hope that he is touched by the Noodly appendage and soon...

The Atheist Agenda of which he speaks is more commonly called the Enlightenment and has generally been a pain in the ass for 300 some odd years for the unenlightenable.

12. Yay for the good news about Gas and the Economy.. thanks Obama. You know he'd be blamed
Fri Sep 26, 2014, 07:25 PM

if it were not good news.

As for the stupid people in the con job party who spout off about "atheists".. whether you are a Liberal Christian or someone who has no religion.. it's easy to see those kind of people are fake.. using Jesus to spread hate. I believe it was mentioned in the Bible that He said there were those who would use his name for their own agenda. Nothing's changed.

And, that gas bag who wants to end the weekend?.. What's he going to do in Congress.. stay and work while everyone else is on their long vacations? Good.. practice what you preach, asshole.

Thanks EarlG

14. the Atheist part a bit extreme
Sat Sep 27, 2014, 10:22 AM
Sep 2014

Two types of Atheists (kinda like there's at least 5 spin offs of being a Libertarian ) think I'm a Green Libertarian actually. Not a left wing libertarian didn't know there was one...


There's the cruel Atheist who wants all religion banned because he belongs to a church but it isn't a church (do'h) then there's the nice ones who tolerate the other religions.. Obvious I don't know any atheists who are friends from the bully side.. albeit I have met some of them on DU... just extremes here and there... and hey I'm not that idiotic to blame Atheists on Sandy Hook. it was done by a Right Wing nut. don't know that many Right Wing Atheists

16. I know two right-wing atheists very well.

My brother and my son are both right-wing atheists.

Then there was Ayn Rand. And her devout followers.

There are many right-wing atheists.

They just prefer to stay in the background. That way, they can continue to play the rural Fundamentalists for fools.

He should have been the target of Bill Maher's Flip A District campaign all along. I weep for this country when power mad anti-labor, anti-LGBT psychos who hide behind religion get elected. It's scary.

If not, let them be paid a dollar a day, for a twelve hour day seven days a week. Let them be forced to come to work.
