It's way past time to designate the Republican Party as a terrorist organization

Here's plenty of examples:


They have been terrorizing America for the last 35 plus years. It's way past time to stop.

Terrorists defund something that helps America - as in Obamacare
Terrorists ignore the job bills that helps America
Terrorists love MIC and refuses to cut down Department of Defense or Homeland Security.
Terrorists loves guns and refuses to allow for gun control.

Yes, Republicans are terrorists, and it's time to put them in prison in Gitmo.

And for those who are actual Republicans who has no idea what the fuck Republicans are doing - declare independent and do some research, not what media lies to you about.

State now tracking 10 oil and gas spills in Colorado flood zones

Source: Denver Post

MILLIKEN —Oil and gas releases from 10 different sites in flooded areas of Colorado are being tracked by state and federal regulations.

Two of the releases were "significant" and the remaining eight are being classified as minor, according to an update from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

Minor spills are considered sheens coming off of a piece of equipment rather than a measurable volume of petroleum product.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. reported two releases Wednesday: a release of 125 barrels — about 5,225 gallons — into the South Platte near Milliken and a release of 323 barrels — about 13,500 gallons — from a tank farm on the St. Vrain River near Firestone.

More reason to shut down the oil & gas industry and order the well sealed forever. Then kick them out of the state and hand them a lawsuit for massive damages and cleanup costs.

The threat of the government shutdown does not bode well on the Republicans.

With the Information age and the Twitter age, the voters WILL turn on against Republicans if they don't get what they needed as a functional service.

The only non-essential government service that ought to be shut down, is the Republicans. Cut their salaries down to minimum wage of $7.75 an hour under federal law and tell them in order for them to get out of it, must vote the progressive way. No perks, no lobbyist money.

Let them TRY flying home first class on $7.75 hour on a 15 hour workday.

Only if it's on a fly-by-night airline that has a leaky DC-3 plane that usually carries goats, chickens and pigs. And you'd have to wait about 25 hours before landing to your destination, and you have to cough up for gas and the cheap ripple wine oil.

Top 50 Most influental marijuana users

Thank you for checking out MPP's second annual "Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users" list! There has been quite a bit of variation since last year, including several additions and a number of people dropping in rank or off the list entirely.

In order to have qualified for the list, each individual must (1) have tried marijuana at least once, (2) be alive, and (3) be living in the U.S. or be a U.S. citizen. To create the list, we adopted the criteria used by Out Magazine to select their “Power 50” list of LGBT Americans. That means our choices are based on “power to influence cultural and social attitudes, political clout, individual wealth, and a person’s media profile” – not just on popularity or support for marijuana policy reform. Fortunately, many of them have expressed support, but there are some “bad guys” on there, too.

In sum, we're not concerned with an individual's popularity, or even whether he or she supports marijuana policy reform. Rather, the 2013 "Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users" list is meant to identify people who have used marijuana and achieved high levels of success or influence.

Check out who's #1.

Idea for states attempting to obstruct Obamacare and their Navigators: Cut off all federal funding

going through the states. Let them go on their own. See how they do.

Watch the people start a rebellion to kick out their Republican morons.

Texas just joined in being a fucking moron along with Oklahoma, Florida and a few other states at the expense of the people.

That means no Social Security money. No subsidies, zero funding. No nothing. Just tell them why, and let the fury of the people spell out the karma.

The Colorado state senate recall loss was caused by the forced ruling of no mail ballots

that was brought up by the Liberterian Party who we all know likes to be in collusion with the Republican Party.

This is an evidence of voting manipulation and the recall results should be thrown out and restarted.

The judge is also an idiot - if he could not resolve that Combs vs Nowak was a legal precedent to match the Colorado Constitution (which it is) and the recall petition (which it isn't) and made it A-OK.

Then when the Libertarians won the case, the Republican SoS strangely removed himself from the case, made the collusion possible and therefore true voter manipulation was the problem.

Morse and Giron would have survived the recall had the mail ballots be allowed.

Now the Republicans have precedent in their hands - they can recall whoever they don't like and then waste taxpayers dollars.
