Is Racism Dead?

.
It seems that 'protesting while black' is a crime in 'merica.

http://3chicspolitico.com/2014/09/16/st-louis-county-opinions-on-ferguson-black-vs-white/

This is so disturbing!

According to the survey taken, Michael Brown’s SKIN was his SIN. Unarmed, running away, surrendering doesn’t mean a DAMN thing. Whites in St Louis County says Darren Wilson was justified for shooting down Michael Brown. It makes you wonder about who is on that Grand Jury.

1. Was Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson justified in shooting Michael Brown?
Whites: Yes (62%)
Blacks: No (65%)

2. Who is most responsible for the violence in Ferguson after Michael Brown’s death?
46 percent of whites blame organized street gangs for the looting and chaos that gripped Ferguson for days after the shooting. Blacks blame law enforcement and community activists, both with 27 percent. Only 7 percent of whites said law enforcement was to blame.

3. Was Michael Brown targeted by Officer Darren Wilson because of his race?
Whites: No (77 %)
Blacks: Yes (64%)

4. Should Officer Darren Wilson be arrested and charged with a crime?
Whites: No (72%)
Blacks: Yes (71%)

5. Can Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch fairly prosecute the criminal case against Officer Darren Wilson?
Whites: Yes (71%)
Blacks: No (60%)

This should come as no surprise. McCulloch has been reelected to his post for decades by the county’s majority-white voting base, while black community leaders have organized protests, boycotts and a highway shutdown to get him thrown off the case.

6. Do police target black people because of their race?
White: No (61%)
Black: Yes (70%)

Until some people get over the idea that 'white is right' we will continue to have this problem. But as long as we have hate organizations like Fox Faux News that cater to the low information, mouth breathing knuckle draggers that make up the reTHUGlican, CONservative Teabagger Party we can look forward to more of this bullshit.

House Speaker Boehner's Insurance Premium Nearly Doubles Under The ACA

Lying by omission and half-truths.

I don't know if it's a politician thing or a republican thing.

All I know is that the rethugs seem to lie about everything. If they open their mouth...They lie.

If it can put President Obama in a bad light, so much the better.

Poor boehner. The drunken sot is being asked to pay his fair share because of an amendment by Rethuglican Sen. Chuck Grassley.

*snip*

In his weekly press conference on Dec. 5, Boehner bemoaned the cost of his new insurance. “My health insurance premiums are gonna double,” Boehner said. “My co-pays and deductibles tripled under Obamacare.” He added, sarcastically, “I’m thrilled to death as you can tell.”

*snip*

Boehner reported that, under his current plan, he pays premiums of $433 a month for him and his wife, with a $700 deductible. But Boehner doesn’t need a joint health plan next year because his wife just turned 65, and is therefore eligible for Medicare. Fox News reported that Boehner’s wife, Debbie, had already applied for Medicare Part A, the premium-free hospital care program. Boehner’s office reported that in order to enroll in Medicare Parts B and D — to make the switch comparable — she’d have to pay up to $400 per month.

That left Boehner shopping for a plan just for himself. He selected a Blue Cross PPO plan with a $1,000 deductible — one described by Care First Blue Cross as the one “that most closely matches the benefits” in the current federal employee plan. It’s got the same network of doctors. The plan has a monthly premium of $875.32 for someone 64 years old, like Boehner. The federal government picks up 75 percent of the premium (up to a maximum of $426 per month) — so the cost to Boehner is $449 per month.

To sum up, Boehner is paying $433 a month now. His new plan will cost $449 a month plus up to $400 a month for his wife’s Medicare plan, for a total of $849 — nearly twice his current premium of $433.

The couple’s combined cost is comparable, Boehner said, to what he would have paid for a joint plan on the exchange that is similar to the one he has now. He said that would have cost $802 per month in premiums, with a $2,000 deductible.

The bottom line could have been worse for Boehner. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies can charge smokers, such as Boehner, up to 50 percent more — unless a state expressly prohibits charging higher premiums based on tobacco use. Washington, D.C., happens to be one of the few that does not allow insurance companies to charge extra for smokers.  There are seven states with a similar policy, according to WebMD.com, including: California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

*snip*

But there’s a big caveat with the Medicare cost for Boehner’s wife.

As columnist Michael Hiltzik explained in the Los Angeles Times, Medicare premiums are based on income. Boehner’s office declined to tell us the married couple’s combined salary, only that their income would result in Medicare premiums of around $400 per month. In order to have to pay that much for Medicare Part B and D next year, a couple would have to earn more than $428,000 a year. If a couple had a combined income above $428,000, they’d have to pay $336 per month for Medicare Part B and another $69 per month for Part D (the drug premium) in 2014.

*snip*

Boehner is paying more for his insurance, and he has a higher deductible. There’s no denying this is a bad switch for him.  But, again, that’s mostly because he’s an anomaly. He’s paying more for his wife’s Medicare because the Boehners earn far more than most Americans. And he pays more for his premium because he’s 64 years old.

http://www.factcheck.org/2013/12/boehner-vs-castro-on-the-exchange/

I have two words for you boehner...

FUCK YOU!!!

My wife and I are disabled. We get $809/month on my disability. At the moment that's all the money we get a month. We get $270/month food stamps(SNAP).

Starting on Jan. 1, 2014 that goes down to $265/month. Last month(Nov.) it went down $20. A year ago November, we were getting $316/month.

That's $51.00 less that we can't buy milk or fresh vegetables with. Which, because of my medical problems(heart being the worst), my doctor says I should eat.

We are now surviving on $1.45 per person, per meal.

That's a lot pasta and more processed food full of salt, sodium and starch. All bad for my heart.

So the money that I get from SS won't even pay for your insurance premium.

And you're bitching???

FUCK YOU!!!!

Although on the upside for you rethugs I'll probably die sooner rather than later because of my, now worse, diet.

But then that's part of the teabaggers and rethugs health plan.

• Don't get sick.

• If you get sick...

• DIE QUICKLY!

And what's a few lies if it furthers your agenda of hating President Obama and obstructing everything that he is trying to accomplish.

Go to hell you bastard.

John Kerry Costs U.S. Defense Industry $400 Billion

.
.
STORY HERE

Gotta love The Onion!
~
“Responding to initial reports that Syria may relinquish its stockpile of chemical weapons following Secretary of State John Kerry’s assertion that doing so would decrease the likelihood of American military strikes, representatives for the domestic defense industry complained to reporters Tuesday that the top-ranking diplomat may have cost them $400 billion in revenue. “We were ready to produce and sell tomahawk missiles, advanced combat systems, and more unmanned predator drones, but instead our Secretary of State had to run his big fat mouth about options for averting war, and now we’re out hundreds of billions of dollars,” said a visibly upset Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn A. Hewson, who along with her fellow executives at Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and General Dynamics complained that because the initial invasion would have more than likely led to a protracted, wide-ranging international conflict, Kerry might have even cost them trillions.”

I wouldn’t put it past the companies to bitch about it. They’re probably doing it anyway behind closed doors.

Texas GOP Congressman:We Probably Have Enough Votes In House To Impeach Obama

.
In his bizzarro, racist, dumbshit mind I bet he does think like that.
After all, anybody that looks and acts like this, and wants to be a politician, can't have both oars in the water.
But then, look who I'm talking about. A teabagging republican that thinks the rules apply to everyone but him.
Here's the story.  Grand Obstructionist Party delusions.
 

 

As you can see, he does The Lone Star state proud.
I wonder if he is one of the 'good, christian, conservatives' that we hear so much about.

What's his crime? You stupid...shit...teabagging...lying...asshole.

Being President while black?

I can't believe that anyone voted for this stupid fuck!
  The only good thing is that him and others like him can't shut up and will continue to say the dumb assed things that they are so good at.
  Because the more dumb-shit things that they say, and the more often that they say them, can only help to kick their sorry, racist, bigotted asses out of power once and for all.

President Decides To Skip D-Day Speech.

.
President Bush that is.

  He only gave 2 D-Day speeches in the 8 years that he was Cheney's and Rummy's puppet. But the Breitfart blog fails to say anything about that.He also neglected to say anything about Romney not making a speech last year even though he was running for President. Guess the white guys get a free pass.

  In 2001, Bush spoke at the dedication of the National D-Day Memorial. In 2004, he and French president Jacques Chirac marked the 60th anniversary of D-Day at the American Cemetery in Normandy.

In 2008, however, if you scroll down to June 6, you see that Bush gave interviews to reporters from French, Italian, and Slovenian TV; he sent Congress a message warning about dangers in Belarus; he commemorated Flag Day and National Flag Week; he swore in a new HUD secretary; he signed a law "which makes miscellaneous changes to laws relating to the Federal Aid Highway, Mass Transit, and Highway Safety Programs"; and he participated in a panel on China earthquake relief. Nothing about D-Day.

There's nothing about D-Day on June 6, 2007, or June 6, 2006, or June 6, 2005. (Bush did celebrate Black Music Month at the White House on June 6, 2005; good thing Obama didn't try that.) 2003? Nothing. 2002? Nothing. (We did get an "Executive Order Amendment to Executive Order 13180, Air Traffic Performance-Based Organization," on June 6, 2002, but nothing about D-Day.)

Over 400,000 votes in Az have NOT yet been counted! Maybe 600000+

.
The story broke this morning and the estimate was 400,000. It’s now being predicted that it’s up to 600,000+
http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/free/20121107provisional-ballot-woes-swamp-county.html

Petra Falcon, executive director of Promise Arizona, said she was told that 200,000 provisional ballots were cast, as well as 200,000 early ballots. She said counting of those votes will not even begin until this morning and she feared the Maricopa County sheriff’s race would be called before then. And it was, with Sheriff Joe Arpaio beating Democrat Paul Penzone to win his sixth term in office.
“Four hundred thousand ballots — that’s a lot,” Falcon said. “Even if it’s an Arpaio win, those votes should be counted.”
Roopali Desai, Promise Arizona’s attorney, said the number of provisional ballots is “unprecedented” in Arizona — or anywhere. “Nobody can explain it,” she added. “We’re trying to get to the bottom of it.”

Obama Wins!!!!

A little(?) late but it has been busy and exciting  the past 3 or 4 days.
I am so happy. And tired. I have been so busy the past several weeks helping the Obama campaign by doing up mailers, making calls and any other way to help from my home. And having repeated arthritis problems that seemed to concentrate in my feet, hands and elbows didn’t help things either. Hopefully I can get back on some kind of schedule again.
Well, here’s some toons from last night and today.

O’Donnell slams Des Moines Register endorsement of Mitt as ‘magical thinking’

.
Reblogged from MSNBC:

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell accused The Des Moines Register of “adopting Mitt Romney’s magical thinking” by endorsing the Republican candidate for president.

In the Rewrite segment on Tuesday’s edition of The Last Word, he called their decision one of the “most embarrassing endorsements in the history of that newspaper.”
His bone to pick with the Iowa paper’s editorial board revolved around how they argued the case for Romney, not their specific choice of candidate.

Read more… 149 more words

O'Donnell rips the Register to pieces using what the rethugs fear and don't understand the most so they (rethugs) don't use them...facts and truth.

You need to take the ‘All Hat And No Cattle’ Bush the Lesser approach.

It was Aug. 29, McCain’s 69th birthday, and on the tarmac, Bush presented his old political rival with a cake. The two posed, holding the cake up for cameras, and within seconds, went their separate ways. The cake, melting in the 110-degree Arizona heat, was left behind, uneaten.

Here a fellow named George W. Bush is having a delightful time playing a guitar given to him by country singer Mark Wills after a visit to Naval Base Coronado in sunny southern California. It’s fun to be president.
So you see Mr. President? That is how you monitor a hurricane. I know presidentializeing is hard work. You need to relax no matter what is happening.
So take a few tips from Bush The Lesser.
Relax pretend to play some guitar, and have some cake. Even if you don’t eat it.

Stupid Is, As Stupid Does

.
This is from a blog that I check out. I didn't add or change anything.
http://bearssoapbox.over-blog.com/article-stupid-is-as-stupid-does-111077340.html
 ------------------------------------------
This was sent to me in an email.
I got it after seeing the program FRONTLINE on PBS about Romney and President Obama.
I know that PBS wants to seem to be unbiased but this program, in my opinion, fell far short.
The following article mirrors many of my thoughts about the program.
~

We Have Got To Be The Dumbest Fucking People On Earth (PBS)

We've got to be. There's no other explanation.

For one, there's the idea that somehow we allow people to make the lunatic claim that the media is in the tank for the Dems or the left. Oh really? Romney tells Lehrer that he's going to fire his wobbly ass and we get the bullshit I'm about to detail below.

For two, there's this insane overreaction we have to the accusation of bias that makes us produce works of audacity (again, more below), that can only be described as... insane.

For three, I had a phone call earlier tonight with someone who seems to me to capture the essence of a political operative, in that she couldn't possibly understand her way out of a cardboard box, but that is another story for another time, and then, the other side has the same exact drone army filling out their own stooge-staffel.

Back to this PBS documentary.

I'm watching this shit, I'm 42 minutes in, and so far I've learned that Obama is a white black man, that during his New York years "he did the least" (that's right, the same New York years that would help him gain admission to Harvard fucking Law School) and that Romney's time in France was some sort of heroic, perilous journey.

And that France was awful tough.

Let me first point out that I was a kid in New York City when Barack Obama lived in Harlem. I saw it from a car window and from behind the bus windows, as we traveled out every day to Randall's Island. I have been around the world. The entire thing. Circumnavigated it. Been to some shitholes. Let me tell you, Harlem of that era is the scariest fucking place I have ever seen.

But back to Mitt Romney. This fucking asshole was dodging the draft, first in France, and then with a student deferment, and the PBS documentary not only never explicitly mentions that this asshole was avoiding the motherfucking Vietnam War by spending time nagging people in France, but presents it as a G**-damn hero's journey???

Are you fucking kidding me?

I will say it right now. I would rather spend two years a million times over in France, even getting doors shut on me for part of every day than spend a day in the jungles of Vietnam. It's not close. It's not close to close. It's described as "this difficult work." Not getting shot at and sweating and getting stung to death, but riding a fucking bicycle in France.

Riding a fucking bicycle in France!!!

And what was his great accomplishment? He converted TEN people. I suppose if you really think you're saving someone's soul, that's quite something, but presumably he was converting them from Christianity to Christianity and fuck this bullshit I can't be bothered with bending over backwards to shove something up my own ass in the service of being fair anymore.

DRAFT DODGER!!!! PROTESTED FOR THE WAR! HID IN FRANCE - FUCKING FRANCE - FOR TWO YEARS! AND THEN TOOK A STUDENT DEFERMENT! AND SAYS "SOMETIMES (HE) WISHED HE WAS IN THE WAR!" SO DON'T TAKE A STUDENT DEFERMENT YOU CHUMP-ASS FUCKING CHICKENHAWK!

AND HE WANTS TO FIRE BIG BIRD! DON'T YOU GET IT?

HOLY SHIT, PBS, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

I can't take it anymore. I just can't take it.

The next election, I'm doing whatever the fuck I want, and anyone who tells me no, or can't understand shit, or doesn't understand the "why" behind shit like, I don't know, reality, is getting a punch in the fucking jaw.

That's right. They're getting dropped.

I just can't take this.

And btw, his friend and fellow missionary admits what they don't run in the PBS documentary:

• Most of the missionaries, though, were also relieved that their service meant a draft deferment. “I am sorry, but no one was excited to go and get killed in Vietnam,” Mr. Hansen said, acknowledging, “In hindsight, it is easy to be for the war when you don’t have to worry about going to Vietnam.”

• Mr. Romney, though, said that he sometimes had wished he were in Vietnam instead of France. “There were surely times on my mission when I was having a particularly difficult time accomplishing very little when I would have longed for the chance to be serving in the military,” he said in an interview, “but that was not to be.”

• While many Mormons — and eventually, some of his fellow missionaries — enlisted, Mr. Romney got a student deferment after returning from France.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/15/us/politics/15romney.html?pagewanted=3&_r=0&hp

Read paragraphs two and three together. Now do it again. Breathe in the insanity.

And that chickenshit bullshit is not getting this man hung?

We have got to be the dumbest fucking people on Earth. There is no other explanation.

My only consolation is the hope that nobody watches PBS.
~~~~~~~~~~

I wasn't happy with the way that PBS covered the RNC or the DNCs'. While they were the more fair of any American coverage, it seemed that the slant was toward the right. I say that because the democrats didn't seem to get the chance that the republicans did when it came time to analyze the conventions at the end of each day or the end of the convention.

I don't know if it's money or what but I think that the country is being set up for President Obama to lose. With the electronic voting machines controlled by republican backed interests and big money from Super PACs buying the media...
WE COULD BE ROYALLY SCREWED!!!!

If that happens God help the poor, sick, women, children and elderly.

That asshole is a sociopatic liar, coward and a bully. He shouldn't be within 1000 miles of the nuclear codes.

A Joke I saw on the Internet today…

Snow White, Superman and Pinocchio are walking along.

They see a sign: “Contest for World’s Most Beautiful Woman.” Snow White goes in, later comes out smiling, wearing a crown.

They walk along and see another sign: “Contest for World’s Strongest Man.” Superman goes in, later comes out smiling, wearing the belt.

They walk along and see a sign: “Contest for World’s Greatest Liar.” Pinocchio goes in, later comes out with his head down crying.

“Who the hell is Mitt Romney?” Pinocchio sobs.

But I thought there was something missing.

Romney campaign worker says parents on welfare should be executed.

.
From this article;
http://www.progressive.org/meet-romney-extremist-in-virginia

"I'll tell you what really need to do with these illegitimate families on welfare—give all the kids up for adoption and execute the parents."

"Yes, I mean it. Get rid of all of them, give the kids up for adoption, execute the parents, and you get rid of the problem.” (When I call him back to revisit the issue, he elaborates: “put the children up for adoption and execute the parents, and word would get out soon” that poor people shouldn’t have kids.)

Yup. That will solve the problems of the country.
While we are at it , lets give everyone IQ tests, and everyone that doesn't test out at say...100, they get executed too.
Or if they are on social security/medicare/medicaid and don't have a part time job(20+hrs./wk) until the age of 75, they're put down too. If you're to disabled to work and your family can't help you and you have no insurance, you're history.

I wonder how many "poor people" that rat bastard SOB has killed or had a hand in killing under the guise of white sheets and a pointy white hat?

RYAN: PREVENTING GAY PEOPLE FROM MARRYING IS A ‘UNIVERSAL HUMAN’ VALUE

.

 Paul Ryan reiterated his opposition to marriage equality, during a town hall in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday. “The things you talk about like traditional marriage and family and entrepreneurship. These aren’t values that are indicative to any one person or creed or color. These are American values, these are universal human values,” he said in response to a question from the audience.

Couldn't get the video to load but the story and video is at the link below.

link

That freak Lyin' Ryan thinks way to much about other peoples sex lives.
He's a psycho wack job and I can't wait to see Biden wipe the floor with him in the debate.
That is even if ryan shows up. It wouldn't surprise me if some kind of "emergency" didn't come up for either or both Dog-On-Car or Lyin' Ryan.

This damn Blogger and Youtube is getting worse and worse except for the most simple things.

What smells like gunpowder, burned leather and is hard to understand?
