Proof that the Tea Party is just the Ku Klux Klan

The leader of the KKK had the following to say about its message.

"In our rallies our messages are about immigration, same-sex marriages, and many major other topics that are killing our society today. If you want to call me racist for I love my white race and my country, then go ahead, but don't just shut out the world. You can't just look past all of our country's downfalls," Knight said.

How many times have you had surgery?

Was thinking of californiapeggy's surgery when I see that she's under the knife today. I had a knee replacement back in October, that was my 15th surgery. I knew I had a lot, but when the anaesthesiologist brought out my records, and said, "I think you know the drill" and I saw the thickness of my records, I did the count.

Nice anaesthesiologist, he did a spinal and for 5 weeks, my spinal stenosis and pinched nerve pain was relegated to a 2 on a the pain scale, down from my usual 8-9.

Honestly, except for the pain, I consider myself in good health.

Do you remember these lines from "An American President"?

Everytime you see the name Bob Rumsen, change it to whichever repug candidate comes to mind

"I've known Bob Rumson for years, and I've been operating under the assumption that the reason Bob devotes so much time and energy to shouting at the rain was that he simply didn't get it. Well, I was wrong. Bob's problem isn't that he doesn't get it. Bob's problem is that he can't sell it! We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things and two things only: making you afraid of it and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections. You gather a group of middle-aged, middle-class, middle-income voters who remember with longing an easier time, and you talk to them about family and American values and character"

Rest of quote:
"And wave an old photo of the President's girlfriend and you scream about patriotism and you tell them, she's to blame for their lot in life, and you go on television and you call her a whore. Sydney Ellen Wade has done nothing to you, Bob. She has done nothing but put herself through school, represent the interests of public school teachers, and lobby for the safety of our natural resources. You want a character debate, Bob? You better stick with me, 'cause Sydney Ellen Wade is way out of your league."

This is what I have to say about birth control and religion

The american catholic church resides in the United States, and must abide by its laws. The United States does not reside in the catholic church and should not and must not bend its laws to make the catholic church happy.

The catholic church and other christian sects that are on the extreme right, they are so clueless that there actions and views are the same as those that adhere to extreme islamic laws.

I am so tired of President Obama and others in his administration trying to placate these insane religious groups. It is time for the administration, to say here is the constitution, if you don't want to abide by it, then you can leave and don't let the door hit your asses on the way out.
