ACA compared to Holocaust

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/state-sen-takes-heat-for-obamacare-holocaust-remark

A state Senator's blog post likening the insurance requirement under President Barack Obama's health care law to the forced deportation of Jews during the Holocaust drew swift condemnation Monday from leaders of both parties in Tennessee.


What no Benghazi???? This despicable dolt must have missed the memo. The rethugs are beyond vile.

Chicken Hawk Brooks Can't Get Anyone to Fight His Wars Anymore--Boo Hoo

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/29/1295580/-David-Brooks-cries-no-one-wants-to-fight-someone-else-s-wars-anymore
snip:

People have no trouble defending America. They have a trouble dying for bullshit neocon fantasies, especially when those neocons won't put up their own children and grandchildren as cannon fodder.


A Chicken Hawk wanting to fight to the last drop of someone else's blood. These despicable ghouls are beyond contempt.

Measle Increases in the United States

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/04/24/cdc-reports-13-measles-outbreaks-in-the-u-s-most-cases-since-1996/

snip:
Measles have infected 129 people in 13 states in 2014, the most in the first four months of any year since 1996, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday as they warned clinicians, parents and others to watch for the potentially deadly virus.

snip:

Jenny, as outbreaks of measles, mumps and whooping cough continue to appear in the U.S.—most the result of parents refusing to vaccinate their children because of the scare stories passed around by anti-vaxxers like you—it’s just too late to play cute with the things you’ve said.

Maybe they should be referred to now as "Measles McCarthy and Jim Carrier."

Bundy is No Welfare Queen--He is plain old thief

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/04/25/cliven_bundy_is_not_a_welfare_queen_the_comparison_needs.html

snip:

Taking a swipe at Cliven Bundy by calling him a "welfare queen" made the leap from social media snarking to cable news on Thursday, when CNN anchor Bill Weir brought it up in an interview with Bundy. "You are writing off a whole class of people, African-Americans, as sort of dangerously dependent because they get government assistance," Weir stated. "At the same time, you’re grazing your cows on public land for free. So, how are you not sort of a welfare queen in a cowboy hat?"

Weir's analogy is deeply unfair to people on welfare in so many ways, starting with the myth that people on welfare are defrauding the government in the same way that Bundy is doing.


The author is right on target. Bundy is a thief, con man, racist grifter. Nothing more.

Man Seeks Asylum in North Korea

http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/25/world/asia/north-korea-american-in-custody/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

North Korea is holding an American man who it claims arrived in the country this month to seek asylum, the nation's state news agency reported Friday.


Dang it, I was hoping it was Ted Cruz, or maybe Cliven B., trying to get away from Obama's freedom deprived America.

Watching heavily armed dudes blocking access to government property-

Pitting People Against One Another

I just had a conversation with a person who is angry because their insurance is being impacted by having to pay for the health insurance of "others." My subsequent rant I do not regret.

Faux News lies and teabagger propaganda is awash in the land.
