"Naked Man Eats Face of Other Man on MacArthur Causeway, Miami, Florida"

Rick Scott, where were you this weekend?

Why I Haven't Had Much To Say Lately

I really haven't been able to bring myself to post much the last few weeks, and here's why:  What earthly good does it do for one blogger with a few readers to speak out against a massive right wing propaganda machine that has crafted and is now using hundreds of millions of dollars to spread a completely false narrative about both what the Obama administration has accomplished the last four years, and about what Republicans will do if they take over?

Here, from Crooks and Liars, are some examples, taken entirely from last Sunday's talk shows, of the coordinated Republican lying which passes for news in the United States today.  Take a couple of minutes to listen to it:



Notice the obviously coordinated meme that Obama does not understand economics or Capitalism.  What you are hearing here is not a collection of various people with their own opinions- it is propaganda being spread in a systematic attack on the truth, by willing deceivers.

I think I need hardly tell the people that read this blog that the man who prevented a full-blown depression and generated millions of jobs is likely to know a little more about economics than the people who destroyed the economy and left town with the nation hemorrhaging eight hundred thousand jobs a month. Yet the lies go on, and the mainstream press, using a bogus cloak of supposed even-handedness, refuses to call the Republicans out on their endless prevarication.

Covering the 2012 election is going to amount to nothing but an endless repetition of this malign story.  I am already sick to death of it, and I promise you, the really vicious lying has not even begun.

Wingnut Wrapup

 The new thing in right wing circles this election season is "vetting."  Everywhere you go you hear this word.

The Cambridge English Dictionary defines "vet" as "to examine something or someone carefully to make certain that they are acceptable or suitable."  This is pretty much what I always thought the word means, but apparently it has a different definition for conservatives, for whom it seems to mean "to search high and wide for any lie that we can make stick to some Democrat, most likely Obama."  Here is a picture which has been circulating on the right the last few days, which seems to be part of their "vetting:"

Right wingers were really excited about this photo which was allegedly taken when Obama was at Occidental College, and which they claimed showed him with Bill Ayers.  That lasted until someone pointed out that Bill Ayers is 17 years older than Obama, and the white guy there is hardly 17 years old.  Well, then they "vetted" it again, and seem to be concluding that it has something to do with Obama having once smoked marijuana.  I am sure this story will solidify in the coming days.  Well, on to Tombstone.

The tourist attraction of Tombstone, Arizona lost a good part of its water supply in heavy rains last year.  Now, the Federal government is requiring that they follow environmental law in replacing the water lines, which pass through wilderness areas.  The conservative description of this, from a comment on Town Hall:

"Stalin murdered 3 MILLION Ukrainians by blocking shipments of food because of its opposition to Moscow; Gorbachev cut of the electricity to Lithuanuia when it wanted to be independent.

And now WE have marxist thugs who are essentially doing the same thing!"

Well, I guess we always knew that safe water was a Communist plot.


And now, two stories found at Town Hall, one after the other:

"Harry Reid: Republicans Are Already "Digging the Trenches" on Debt-Ceiling Debate...Does this man just live in la-la-land or what?"

"House Speaker Boehner reopens debt limit brawl"

I mean, what do you do with people who are this shameless?

J. Christian Adams:  "53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida"

This is a really serious threat to the integrity of our electoral system.  Do you know how many of these 53,000 dead voters were found by Mr. Adams  to have voted?  Well, none, actually, but just ignore that fact.  They are clearly going to be getting out of their graves any day now, and lining up to cast their ballots.  And as we all know, the dead always vote Democratic.*  After all, which party helps people who don't have jobs?

And now this news:

"From PJTV, an In-Depth Interview with Dennis Prager"

God protect us.

Bob Owens:  "So You Want To Own a Gun (Part Three)”

Part three?  Just go to the gun store and buy it already.  How much help do you need?  Don't forget to get some bullets too.

Chris Adamo, Renew America:  “Can liberals "wish" socialist utopia into existence?”

Yeah, if you’d just get out of our fucking way, idiot.

Frank Louis, Renew America:  “President Obama: "I want everyone treated fairly in this country." Among other things...what does he mean?”

Well, here is what he means.  He wants everyone treated fairly in this country.  See, that wasn’t so hard to figure out, was it?

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:  "Classy!… Far Left ‘Recaller’ Screams “Walker, You Suck!” at POLICE MEMORIAL During Scott Walker Speech"

That's it.  That's what is so wrong with liberalism.  One guy yelled something.  Terrible, huh?

On the other hand, from the same day at Gateway Pundit:

"Protesters Interrupt Pro-Abortion Sebelius at Catholic Georgetown Commencement"

A very noble thing.

Madeline Crabb, Renew America:  "We know Barack Obama attended Harvard, and was president of the Law Review. With just those credentials, he could have obtained employment at countless top-notch law firms around the nation — maybe the world. Instead, he wanted to be a community organizer... The question many ask is why. It makes no sense"

Unless, of course, you believe it is a good idea to help your fellow man.  That would leave you out, Madeline, and all of your right wing compatriots, wouldn't it?

Bryan Darling, Town Hall:  "Are gun voters being taken for granted? Republicans control the House and self-styled pro-gun Democrats abound in the Senate. So why has neither chamber addressed any of the major gun rights issues awaiting resolution? "

Uh, because there are none?  Because the "threats" to the second amendment are just one more gigantic Republican lie to stir up the stupid?

James E. Miller, American Thinker:  "A Glimpse of What Privatized Roads Could Look Like"

Like This?

Town Hall:  "Newt: Bain Attacks "Didn't Work" For Me--They Won't Work For Obama Either"

Newt, having Jesus Christ stump for you wouldn't have worked.  Deal with it.

Newt Gingrich:   "Obama's a pretty bad venture capitalist, and remember, he's doing it with your money."

Yeah, Newt, Obama is a pretty bad venture capitalist.  The only time he tried it, he saved both of the companies involved, and he didn't even rip them off for tens of millions of dollars for himself.  This guy doesn't have a clue about venture capitalism.  

Luckily for us, he's got a pretty good grip on what he's supposed to be doing as President.  That's why the Republicans didn't quite succeed in causing another depression.

Donald Lambro, Town Hall:  "Obama Says Private Investment is Bad For The U.S. Economy"

Donald, listen and try to understand this:  Ripping companies off for everything they have and leaving them to go bankrupt is not what is traditionally referred to as "investing."

AWR Hawkins, Town Hall:  "Aborted Child Born Alive and Left to Die"

This happened in Vietnam.  That's why it's news.  In the United States, all babies are left by right wingers to die, after they are born, once they are no longer of any value for getting the ignorant and stupid to vote Republican.  Anyway, this story provided Mr. Hawkins an opportunity to tell one of the most disgusting lies you will hear in a long time:

"Had this terrible situation arisen in Illinois when Barack Obama was a state senator, it would have been illegal for doctors or nurses to try to save the child once it was discovered alive. "

Well, let's just move on from that.  Just wait, though- you are going to hear a lot worse before this election season is over.

Vicki Alger, Town Hall:  "Honor Veterans by Giving Their Children Better Education Options"

School vouchers.  Yup, if you are not for school vouchers, you are attacking the troops.  Take that, liberals!

Jackie Gingrich Cushman:  "I love my sister Kathy, but she also is an incredible inspiration to me -- and might be to you, once you hear her story."

She survived being raised by Newt?  That is amazing.

Robert Wargas, PJ Media:  "Please, Please, Please Call Me a Racist.  It's become a badge of honor."

Among Conservatives, Robert.  It's a badge of honor among Conservatives.




*This excludes, of course, people who are only brain-dead.  They vote Republican.

The New Kincaid!

It's time to visit Green Eagle's Art Corner, for news of Trends in American Art Today!  I know how excited you culture vultures (or culture parrots, as the case may be) must be about this!

Despite that, Green Eagle is writing this post anyway.  So there.

Well, we were all so depressed a couple of months ago, when that towering master of American art, Thomas Kincaid, drank himself to death or something.  So it was with the greatest pleasure that Green Eagle discovered that God has already seen to our spiritual needs, and granted us a great American to take his place; a man by the name of  Jon McNaughton, in whom the spirit of Kincaid can be said to be soaring again, if admittedly not to such exalted heights.

Let's start by looking at a couple of Mr. McNaughton's artistic offerings:

Yes indeed, I think any astute art critic can see that the Kincaid force runs deeply within this man, coupled with the artistic ability of an eighth grader.  Praise the lord, he has provided for our higher needs once again!

However, needless to say, this man's ability to crudely replicate the work of a tenth rate commercial artist would hardly have justified his having received the coveted recognition of a Green Eagle post in his honor; no, it is his more spiritual work that has made him a favorite of a certain segment of our political spectrum, and a target of Green Eagle's interests, and it is to that work that we now turn.

Let's start with this historically accurate painting, combining, well, a third of the "talent" of Kincaid with the scope of a David:

Yes indeed, here, at long last, is a true portrayal of Jesus presenting the U.S. Constitution to the American people, while a bunch of liberals in the lower right corner look on in horror.  What could more accurately display the history and origins of this great document?

Now, how about this masterpiece?

Here we have a sad, but oh so accurate, portrayal of the fate that awaits the American people, wrapped loosely in chains and forced to listen to what appears to be Barack Obama imitating Frank Sinatra, while they scoop up free money.  Oh, the horror!  Barack, please, Green Eagle begs you, stick to Sweet Home Chicago!

And while we are on the subject, what ever has become of that Constitution that Jesus gave us?

Well, there it is, under Obama's foot, while the previous Presidents look on in horror!  Well, not all of the previous presidents- some, like FDR and Clinton are applauding Obama's dance moves.  And what are we to make of that poor schmuck on the bench, looking down at the money on the ground, and just too depressed to even pick it up?  I would have thought he was one of Obama's freeloaders, but then I noticed the color of his skin.  Maybe he's just upset about the phony birth certificate- who knows?

So, let Green Eagle leave you with one final artistic masterpiece by McNaughton:

What can we say about the majesty of this work, portraying some unknown black man who vaguely resembles Barack Obama (and nearly as much resembles George W. Bush) burning a large piece of paper, while getting ready to stick his finger in the flame?  That is, what can we say other than, "watch it, buster, your suit is about to catch on fire?"

Well, some of you out there may be familiar with the famous "Rule in M'Naughton," the 1843 British court decision which has, ever since, defined mental incapacity as a legal defense.  A mere coincidence that this guy's name is McNaughton?  Green Eagle thinks not.

Just a Thought

How long, do you think, before this guy

Completes his transformation into this guy?

Just wondering.

More Fiscal Magic from Bain Capital

I reported not too long ago about three companies that had the benefit of Mitt Romney's economic wizardry at Bain Capital, a sorry story if ever there was one.  Here's some more information, providing more detail about one of Romney's victims at Bain, the American Pad and Paper company, or Ampad:

"Ampad, an ultimately bankrupt company backed by Bain ...laid off all 250 workers at an Indiana factory it purchased in 1994 and added debt to its rolls for years after.

The company went into bankruptcy in 2000, holding a debt load of more than $400 million. Bain's return on its $5 million investment was $100 million.

Out of a debt load of $170 million owed to unsecured creditors, Ampad ended up paying out less than $330,000, the filings show.

That amounts to two-tenths of a cent for every dollar owed in that case."

There's more at the link as well as here, at Daily Kos, which helpfully makes the following point:

"Mitt Romney's Bain Capital took $20 profit for every dollar invested in Ampad. Creditors got $0.002."

If Obama and the Democrats do not make this THE central issue of this campaign, they are total failures as politicians.  Here, written small, and twenty years early, is the exact recipe for what caused the collapse of the American economy under the leadership of the last Republican president.  Mitt Romney is a poster child for the savaging of our economy by the hyper-rich, and it takes one hell of a lot of nerve for the Republicans to foist him, of all people, off on us as the solution to our problems.

If the Democrats can't make this simple fact clear, we are all doomed.

Update:  I want to offer you the following comment, from Buzzfeed:

"...according to a 2002 interview with former managing director of Bain Capital Marc Wolpow, Romney was directly responsible for Ampad’s layoffs...Wolpow said Romney was responsible for the business plan carried out by Bain in Indiana.”Mitt's employees executed that transaction,” he said. “We carried out the business plan. He was CEO of the firm.”

I am reprinting this because the current tactic which Republicans seem to be trying on is to claim that Romney was on a "leave of absence" or no longer active in the firm of which he was still President, whenever anything bad took place.  Given the squealing from the right whenever anyone brings up Bain Capital, the Republicans know perfectly well that Romney's career there reveals him to be a rapacious, sociopathic parasite, and they sure as hell don't want anyone looking into it.

Something We All Know

But the Republicans and the press will lie about every day from now to November.  As usual, I'm afraid, the Republican lie will win the day.

From Bloomberg (via Daily Kos):

"During an election-year clash over which U.S. political party has the best prescription for curing unemployment, Democrats can argue that almost two-thirds of private-sector job growth in the past five decades came with them in the White House. 

The BGOV Barometer shows that since Democrat John F. Kennedy took office in January 1961, non-government payrolls in the U.S. swelled by almost 42 million jobs under Democrats, compared with 24 million for Republican presidents, according to Labor Department figures. 

Democrats hold the edge though they occupied the Oval Office for 23 years since Kennedy’s inauguration, compared with 28 for the Republicans. Through April, Democratic presidents accounted for an average of 150,000 additional private-sector paychecks per month over that period, more than double the 71,000 average for Republicans."

And here is the pictorial evidence:

There is just not a question about which party does a better job of tending to our economy.  But it doesn't suit the rich to have the American people know that, so their bought-and-paid-for political party, and their bought-and-paid-for press will once again join in a campaign of lies to convince the American people to deliver their economy into the hands of criminals.  Once again, they will combine forces to sell us out to the greatest enemy this country has ever known- the rich.  And once again, economic salvation will be snatched from our fingertips, and it will be replaced with ruin.


In case you wonder what the Reagan-created merger of the Republican party and the press has brought us, consider this:

Since the successful elimination of a non-partisan press via Reagan deregulation, the very rich, have managed to seize a greater and greater part of this country's wealth, all the time screaming at us night and day that to challenge this monstrous reality and the ruin it has brought on this country, is to somehow thieve from the rich their due, which apparently consists of everything they can possible extort from the rest of us.

People have been mesmerized into forgetting that our country's time of greatest growth occurred when the top tax rates varied between 75 and 90%.  That was what was necessary to prevent the rich from destroying the balance of our economy and ruining the prospect of a better life for anyone but themselves.

These are not nice people. And Mitt Romney is a perfect specimen: a man who does not give a damn what misery he imposes on others if he gets what he wants himself, and who is content to see our entire way of life destroyed, to be replaced with some sort of savage peonage, as long as he escapes with his wealth intact.

But rest assured, this is all too complicated to present to the American people, so it will be replaced with the message that all we have to do to prosper is let the rich have everything they want; and that the result of the decade when the country allowed their stolen government to do just that was a mere illusion.

When Republicans Get a Little Too Blunt

Roger Schlafly, the son of right wing ur-pig Phyllis Schlafly, today at her website:

"WASHINGTON — After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States...

It is not a good thing. The immigrants do not share American values, so it is a good bet that they will not be voting Republican when they start voting in large numbers."

Like Jonah Goldberg, no one would have ever heard of this stupid scum if his mother wasn't such a vicious right wing hatchet swinger.  Maybe we shouldn't take it too seriously given that he got his job from mommy, but there it is:  Not Republican- not American.  You can't get too much plainer than that.

Wingnut Wrapup

So little of note is going on in the world, that Green Eagle doesn't have much to do except to make fun of the mentally handicapped.   And here he goes:

Mitt Romney:  "Only in America could a man like my dad become governor of the state in which he once sold paint from the trunk of his car."

I guess when you're right, you're right.  It really would be hard to imagine anyone becoming the governor of Michigan in, say, France or England.

Republican Representative Joe Pitts, in a letter to a constituent this weekend:  “With the global war against terrorism, it is now incumbent on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Yasir Arafat to clamp down on Palestinian extremists that have perpetuated violence and to restart a peace process that has collapsed.”

Good plan there, Joe.  Arafat died in 2004 and Sharon has been in a coma since 2006.  All that remains for us to discover is how long Joe has been in a coma.

Kevin Glass, Town Hall:  "Obama Congratulates Incoming French Socialist President"

This is a major outrage.  I don't have to explain why, but we all know that Mitt Romney would have put a bag of dog poop on the French Socialist President's doorstep and then lit it on fire.

Tom Blumer, PJ Media:  "April's Awful Jobs Report...It was worse than the seasonalized numbers indicate."

Of course it was!  Obama is President- everything is worse that the truth.

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:  "After Years of Lib Politicians & TV Hosts Calling President a Dumb, Treasonous Liar – It’s No Longer Acceptable"

I just don't quite know how to explain this to you, Jim.  The guy they called a dumb, treasonous liar was a dumb treasonous liar.  That's why it was okay to call him a dumb, treasonous liar- it was true.  Our guy is not dumb, not treasonous, and not a liar.  Think about that, Jim, and see if you can figure out what changed.

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:  "A black teen faces a third degree assault charge after a possible “knockout game” attack on Friday night."

Third degree assault- a misdemeanor in Jim's State of Missouri.  But he was a black teen, so the whole country needs to be filled with outrage about it.

Sher Zieve, Renew America:  "Obama: "2012 is make or break for American Marxism"

Oh yes, that's exactly what Obama said.  He says that all of the time.  He probably said it this time in an address to the eighty members of the Communist party who serve as Democratic Congressmen.  As usual, Sher has more to tell us:

"Wonder why those on-the-ground and black helicopter military drills and heavy equipment shipments (including hundreds of tanks and artillery) have been ongoing nationwide for months now? The answer strongly and, now, corroboratively seems to be that the Obama syndicate is planning to foment all manner of violence and civil disobedience (using his bought and paid for with our money "Occupiers," New Black Panthers and general mercenary roving mobs) in order to take our country and all of We-the-People down."

Well, he's already got eight people in the New Black Panthers.  He's off to a great start.

Joseph Farah, World Net Daily:  "Who was the first leftist?"

Satan.  Who else?  I'm not kidding.  That's what Joseph has to say.  Satan is the first liberal.  Go figure.

John Stossel, Town Hall:  "A child leaving home alone for the first time takes a risk. So does the entrepreneur who opens a new business. I no more want government to prevent us from doing these things than I want it to keep us in padded cells."

That's where we differ, John.  Having heard you speak out over the years, I think you should be kept in a padded cell.  Really, it would be best for everyone.

Ken Blackwell, Town Hall:  "Evangelicals Will Rally for Romney"

Of course they will.  They're stupid.

Tara Servatius, American Thinker:  "The Evidence:  Obama Is Undermining U.S. Troops in Afghanistan to Put the Taliban in Power"

Do I even need to mention the one thing there was none of in this article?  "The evidence."  None of that.  What a surprise.

M. Catherine Evans, American Thinker:  "Anti-Capitalist Obama Administration Targets Debt Collectors"

Debt collectors- our national heroes.  What could that abominable Obama administration be up to this time?  They are trying to prevent debt collectors from lying in wait in hospital emergency rooms, and when they find someone who owes their clients money, preventing them from getting health care until they pay up.  What a malicious attack on capitalism that is from the Obama administration.  Or as M. Catherine puts it:

"A developing corporate scandal involving Chicago-based Accretive Health has lots of class warfare potential.  Who can't sympathize with cash-strapped patients fending off heartless bill collectors?"

Who indeed?  Why, M. Catherine and her fellow conservatives, that's who.  What a surprise!  Or, as one of M. Catherine's commenters puts it:

"The past three years have been like an episode of Rod Sterling, "Twilight Zone" where you find yourself in a place that is alien to you"

Alien to me? A place where debtors can't get medical care?  Yeah, that's alien to me, although sad to say it's beginning to seem more familiar every day.  P.S. That's Rod Serling.

And now, the "They'll Try To Make A Scandal Out Of Anything" award for the day:

Jack Kemp, American Thinker:  "Why is Obama considering degrading our military dogs' training?"

Deep concern for possible future cuts in the training of military dogs, from someone who doesn't give a God damn if millions of children can't get health care.  American priorities, Republican style.

Astute Bloggers:  "PREDICTION: AFTER OBAMA LOSES THE ELECTION HE WILL THEN DIVORCE MICHELLE...
... AND MARRY A MAN...WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING."

We'll see.  I still don't think it will explain why Conservatives can't tell the truth to save their lives.

Kate Hicks, Town Hall:  "Sister of Alleged Romney Bullying Victim Never Knew about the Episode"

Because if you were a closeted gay teenager who was beaten up because of that, the first thing you would do would be to run and tell your sister.

Town Hall:  "Romney to shift focus from gay rights to economy"

Romney's record:
Gay rights:  Beat a kid up
Economy: stole the jobs from several thousand people in order to make himself rich.

Mitt, just my opinion, but I think you might want to stick with the gay thing.

Guy Benson, Town Hall:  "New "Scandal:" Romney Pulled Pranks, Bullied Someone in High School"

Hey, he beat up some fag.  So fuckin' what?  Let's see Obama try to beat up a fag...he'd get his face shoved in.  Yeah, that's the real story, Obama is a pussy.  Prove me wrong, black boy...let's see you beat up a fag for once. 

Guy continues his sage analysis:  "Ed Morrissey has already written a pitch-perfect response to this piece.  He notes that (a) teenage boys sometimes do, well, "senseless, stupid, idiotic" things, and (b) this has absolutely nothing to do with the state of the US economy"

No, but it might just possibly have something to do with the nature of the alleged human being the Republicans want to put in charge of the country.  But I guess that's none of our business.  Now, back to three or four hundred articles about how Obama is a Muslim sleeper agent.

Rebecca Hagelin, Town Hall:  "Christians: Savagely Bullied"

Aah, at last, something about the real victims.  No details of any "bullying," other than that someone somewhere gave a speech.  But still, this is the real issue that we all need to be incensed about.  Beating up gay people, hey, they deserve it, right?

World Net Daily:  "Sheriff Joe demands Obama draft registration"

So fucking what?

John C. Goodman, Town Hall:  "Myths About Inequality...Because they do not seem to have any real solutions to real problems, the leftwing in this country has become fixated on a non-problem: inequality."

Not that inequality doesn't exist, mind you.  It's just not a problem.

Warren Beatty (no, not that one,) American Thinker:  Can Obama Learn from the Successful Economies? "Will Obama learn from Sweden?  Or will he cling to the European socialist economic model that is currently failing?"

Let's see, will we learn from Sweden, or will we try Socialism...what a difficult question.  Are these people as unbelievably stupid and ignorant as they seem?

Michael Ledeed, PJ Media:  "Touring Italy Offers Glimpse into the Future of the Obama Economy"

What, good food?

Breitbart Readers Show Their Class

Andrew Breitbart may be dead of a "heart attack"  (we all know that Obama personally clubbed him to death with a petrified homo leg,) but his spirit lives on in the hearts of his readers.  I thought you might like to see a selection of comments from one single post about Obama's stance on gay marriage.  Remember folks, this is the training ground from which our future Jonah Goldbergs and Michelle Malkins will emerge to provide Green Eagle with fodder for his endless squawking.  So here we go:

"Obama is no better than Hitler and his brown shirt thugs."

Well, we expected that one, didn't we? I mean, what would a right wing comment stream be without a little added Hitler?  Still, best to get it out of the way straight off.  And here is a great literary effort:

"What's wrong with being a HOMOPHOBE  ?
Since when did the gays and lesbians matter in this country....anyway.
Who even gives a < s**t > what they think.
About 99 % of them are Far Left Liberals who won't vote for Romney.
99 % of gays are Communists....just like Obama....and all his Hollywood buddies.
They shouldn't be allowed on television.
They shouldn't be allowed to teach their LIFESTYLE to our children.
They shouldn't be allow to even breathe the same air that we breathe.
They shouldn't even be allowed on this planet.
It's amazing....how the Republicans are afraid to be labeled as RACISTS & HOMOPHOBES.
No. 1)    The Republicans aren't going to get any of the BLACK VOTE....anyway.
No. 2)    And, they aren't going to get ANY of the gay vote......PERIOD.
So why be concerned about it  ??
The gays are too stupid to realize how they are being manipulated by Obama.
All he wants is their < MONEY >.
I thought gays were supposed to be intelligent."

Wow...I think that's the whole 2012 Republican platform.

"Stop trying to paint republicans as "racist and homophobes".  Stop bending over, your Nancy Pelosi panties are showing."

And of course, it doesn't show you to be a homophobe when you accuse Obama of wearing women's panties, oh, no. 

"Obama will go down in history with Presidents like Wilson, FDR, and Johnson for his economic social agenda of progressive socialism for America.  The former United States Presidents were not Constitutional American Presidents."

Man, that would be a miserable fate- going down in history like FDR.  And didn't we know it all along?  "Constitutional" is a synonym for "Republican."

"Obama is the next step in the death of the America the Founding Fathers created. Today Obama utilizes all the tools that his predecessors left at his disposal."

"Using all of the tools that his predecessors left at his disposal:" isn't that called "governing?"

"By the way TNT... have you read the news about Obama's anti-bullying Czar? That guy is a bully of the worst kind"

Na na na na na, no, you are...

"There is a really bad script here, a bunch of wealthy people's spoiled children, turned 60's radicals (the Weather Underground), find a bright young black kid, brainwash him to appear as mainstream as possible, and once he is in office,  destroys the Capitalist Pig Machine from within, kind of like 'Manchurian Candidate.'

Funny, that's not what I remember that movie being about at all.  By the way, if by "a really bad script" you mean a very stupid idea based on infantile political thinking, well, you got that one right.

And, here is a response to a liberal remark:

"Someone needs to carve a swastika in your forehead, along with everyone else who votes Obama in 2012, so you all can be identified wherever you go."

Well, at least all we'd have to do is look for the people with no swastika to spot the homicidal lunatics.

"Obama has no record to stand on so all he can do is lie and lie and lie some more to all of his uneducated followers."

Obama has no record to stand on?  Well, may I helpfully suggest that he stand on a copy of Buddy Guy's "Five Long Years?"  I think that would be a good choice.

"I been telling people he's a thug, a racketeer, radical leftist, shake down artist, megalomaniac, scheister, race baiter, compulsive lier, amd presidental extortionist!"

 "Scheister?"  Is that the Yiddish  for "shyster?"

By the way, "You been telling people," huh?  You better watch it wit' dat, cause you talk dat way in Joisy and you're liable to leave da state wit' a couple of less fingers or somethin' buster.  You get what I'm sayin?  Yeah, I AM talkin to you. You got a problem wit' dat?

"This is what happens when you don't support "Dear Leader", that is until after the election then it will be off to the re-education camp.  They will take my gun from my cold dead hands."

That's okay- without a gun, what could you need your hands for anyway?

"These magots do not have a clue that private donars are just that....private.   Mahr and Soros are totally public figures."

Of course, because they give to Democrats.  They are fair targets for any kind of abuse.  Republican donors, on the other hand, come in for the Patriot Privacy exclusion.  Talk about them and their motives, and you are a traitor.

"There is a reason the Mexican borders are not shut down -- the drug traffic in Chicago would be impacted"

Oh, right.  That explains everything.

The Bible Says It!

Deuteronomy 13,20,21 (King James version):

¹³ If any man take a wife, and go in unto her...

²⁰ if..the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

²¹ Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die

This just makes so much sense to Green Eagle.  It is in the bible, after all.  I know that all of the righteous Christians that are so obsessed about some verse in Leviticus about gays are now going to do the right thing. I am confident that Newt Gingrich will lead the way, crushing Callista to death with rocks, as he certainly had knowledge that she was not a virgin when he married her.


Thanks to Tina Dupuy at Crooks and Liars for bringing this oh-so-important biblical passage to our attention.

Posessed?

There have been a number of stories like this one the last few days, about the Catholic hierarchy beating up on the Girl Scouts.  I know, it seems like something from Monty Python, but it is all too real, and it comes in succession to stories about the Vatican sticking it to nuns who want nothing but some measure of fairness for the people that Christ told them to care about; and on the heels also of you-know-what, which Bishops did everything they could to hide from the world.

Now, I'm getting damned sick of talking about this evil institution, but I do have a question to ask:  Not believing in these sorts of things myself, I'd like someone who does believe in Satan, demons, posession and all the rest of it, how they can possibly believe that the Catholic Church hierarchy has not literally become posessed by Satan.  What else could explain this endless succession of the most bestial behavior from the Church?

Oh, of course, there's the explanation that their whole religious rigamarole was never anything but a pile of malicious nonsense, and they were never anything more than a highly organized bunch of crooks out to do any damned thing they pleased.

Can anyone enlighten me?
