Arizona Congressman shows his support for child molesters, treason and sedition.
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/arizona-congressman-shows-his-support-for-child-molesters-treason-and-sedition/Snips:
"His name is Trent Franks, (R-AZ). And he is attending a rally advocating the overthrow of our Constitutional system of government that is being organized by a crazy child molester named Larry Klayman. Likely hell be giving a speech there.
Which means that Congressman Franks is a supporter of child molesters, treason and sedition. You dont show up at Klan cross-burnings unless you support the Klan. You dont goose-step, utter Seig Heil! and wear swastikas unless you support the Nazis."

Do what they did in 2009, and they'll be rated like they were in 2009. Derp.
Hey, Congress: Here’s how to raise your approval ratings by 30 %.

ObamaCare problems: meet the new cause, same as the old cause.

"Its the same greedy, heartless, motherf***ing insurance companies that killed my son a while back. While the news media points their paid fingers at the Prexy, the insurers are using loopholes in the law to continue to f*** us over, just as they have always done. This is how they repay the government for not only providing them with millions of customers, but even requiring customers to buy their products: they screw us and the government.
Honorable mention to the Republican states that boned the working poor by refusing to take free money and provide them with insurance. That scumbucketry is another big reason that the ACA is not living up to expectations.
And of course, lots of people are so s*** stupid, they believe the Infotainment industry types who peddle the lies that the Repubs and health insurers pay them to spew at us 24/7/365."

PETA assumes humans are superior to Nature. That’s why they are F***ed in the head.
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/peta-assumes-humans-are-superior-to-nature-thats-why-they-are-fed-in-the-head/Snips:
"PETA does not demonize bears, pigs or hedgehogs for being omnivorous. For that matter, turkeys are naturally omnivorous, and PETA is trying to demonize we omnivorous homo sapiens types for eating them. So, what makes human omnivores different from all other omnvivores? Why hold us to a different standard than the rest of the opportunistic feeders that fly, walk, swim or crawl around the globe?
Answer: The only reason to hold humans to a higher standard is if you think humans occupy a higher place in the natural order.If you are arrogant and feeling oh-so-superior. As a great writer once said, you cant condescend UP.
News flash, PETA: we arent all that special, not in the grand scheme of things. Humans eat what we can eat, and to an extent what we choose to eat. We are not some sort of Grand High Poohbah Muckety-Muck Exalted Grand Wizards of All We Survey: we are just animals blessed with opposable thumbs, brains, and some really nasty characteristics that helped us build tools and kill other animals. That allows us to appear disconnected from nature. Were creatures of the Earth, nothing more and nothing less. And we should treat ALL life we encounter in Nature as it deserves to be treated.
Including each others children"

Memo to PETA: Go F *** Yourselves for traumatizing children.
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/memo-to-peta-go-f-yourselves-a/Snips:
"In the name of saving animals, they are deliberately trying to traumatize little kids. They are putting up anti-turkey-dinner ads in bus stops, you see: ads that show grownups a Rockwell-ish image of a mom carving a bird, and that show anyone shorter than four feet tall a demonic woman murdering a live bird, and spattering her kids faces with blood."
"Of all the despicable, abusive, and idiotic things to do. Do the stupid-f***s at PETA think that little children do the grocery shopping in American households? Anyone on Planet Consensus Reality knows better."

Remember Bitchy Mitchy and his "number one priority is making Barack Obama a one-term President"? Now it's Pete Sessions and Everything we do in this body should be about messaging to win back the Senate". Fuck the people, all the Repubes want is personal power and wealth.

House Repubs admit it: all they care about is seizing total control of the country.

You can hide with pretty words like "dueling", or pretend he was joking: but let's call a spade a spade, OK?

I can't fucking believe America still needs anti-discrimination laws. Or that Repubes still oppose freedom and equality for LGBT Americans.

It does NOT say, “All men are created equal, except for f*****s, dy**s and qu***s”.

snip:
"Sad though the necessity may be, the law needs passed. Just like the laws banning discrimination based on skin tone, X and Y chromosomes, religion and physical limitations. And anyone who opposes such equality can suck on the Constitution. Equality for all, that is what it says.
AND ALL MEANS ALL."
