NASTY LITTLE PUNK PAUL RYAN HAS PROTESTERS AT HIS TOWN HALL ARRESTED

Notice how fast they got rid of the guy who shouted that he'd paid into Social Security, etc. for 50 years, and that it's NOT an entitlement. Then nasty little punk Ryan waves at the people he's had arrested. People, by the way, that he forced to pay $15 just to hear him. UPDATE: Arresting a 71 year-old man for telling the truth:

IT'S THE ZOMBIE-EYED GRANNY-STARVER! (ALSO KNOWN AS PAUL RYAN)

Hey! J. Miller! Why Aren't You Posting More?

The reason is simple: I am focusing my effort mainly on my election-year blog, Romney the Liar, which is right here. I urge all of you to visit it on a regular basis, and I further urge you to spread the word about it via Twitter and any other social media/email you choose. The time to define Romney as a lying sociopath--which he is--is RIGHT NOW. So I put my time mainly on this project. If you haven't seen it, give it a look!

Please Read. Absorb. React. And then pass it on.

It's in Andrew Sullivan today. It's called "The Politicization of Catholicism" and it's outstanding. One particularly chilling quote from a fanatical Catholic cardinal:


The cardinal mocked a secular culture that “seems to discover new rights every day.” “I don’t recall a right to marriage,” he said, describing marriage, instead, as a “call.” 


“Now we hear there’s a right to sterilization, abortion and chemical contraceptives. I suppose there might be a doctor who would say to a man who’s suffering some type of sexual dysfunction, ‘You ought to visit a prostitute to help you.’ ”


This bastard thinks the right wing of the Catholic Church has the right to say that marriage isn't a right. (When the HELL did it become a "call"?) You hear that all you "evil" gays--this SOB thinks he has the right to make you a second-class citizen. He thinks that everyone should be forced--yes, forced--to live by right-wing Catholic rules. This is one of the same leaders of a church that tried to hide what is perhaps the most extensive child sexual abuse scandal in human history, daring to lecture us about how we MUST live according to his perverted beliefs. Read the whole piece, and then maybe you'll feel as I do:


These bishops and cardinals can go to hell.

Rick Santorum is Insane

And no, I am not using the term insane figuratively.

Concerning the (completely dishonest) controversy over contraceptive mandates in the federal health care law, Little Ricky had this to say:


They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is the government that gives you right, what’s left are no unalienable rights, what’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we do and follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.


That's right you psychotic clown. We're on the path that will lead to the decapitation of religious people.

Santorum: a frightening right-wing authoritarian lunatic.

I don't know what else to say.

HAW HAW HAW! Willard Screws the Pooch MULTIPLE Times!

Looks like Little Rick "Frothy Lube" Santorum has won Missouri's non-binding primary and Minnesota's caucuses. He might even win Colorado's caucuses, making it 0 for 3 for Willard. After Mittens buried Gingrich in Florida under a ton of ads (99% of which--no joke--were negative) and won a super-low turnout caucus in Nevada, he thought he had it wrapped up. Guess not, Willard. (BTW, turnout in all three contests was wretchedly bad.)

Oh. And the crowd at Willard's headquarters tonight? 80.

And Willard spent MILLIONS there. Gawd, is this great. Poor Willard. Nobody really likes him all that much. Maybe it's because he talks and acts like an arrogant, entitled, "I'm-better-than-you" asshole. Think that might have something to do with it? BTW, this means that Mittens has now lost 2 out of 3. And for all that money. Tough break, Mittens!

Check Out My New Blog ROMNEY THE LIAR

Hey folks! In this election year, I've found that keeping track of Mitt Romney's constant stream of lying BS requires a blog that focuses on nothing else. I've named it ROMNEY THE LIAR. Good title, huh? Short, truthful, descriptive, punchy, and right to the point. It's located here. Mitt Romney lies with such breathtaking ease that I thought I should try to document all of his fantastic,  utter falsehoods.

HAW! HAW! Willard Screws the Pooch in Iowa

In the Iowa caucuses, Willard Mitt Romney--and Willard is his actual name, despite his pathetic lie that his first name is Mitt--is essentially tied with Rick Santorum. (Make sure you click the link.) Little Ricky is a batshit crazy ultra-right wing nut-job who thinks that contraception should be illegal, gays should be in prison, and that the government has the right to regulate everyone's sex lives, heterosexuals included. And Willard couldn't even put him away. In fact, Old Mittens got FEWER votes in 2012's caucuses than he got in 2008. Think about it--he's been campaigning for president for about six years, and he's gotten NOWHERE. That's just AWESOME! Maybe it has something to do with him being a weasel-like whore who will literally say anything to win. Mike Huckabee, in 2008, said that all of the other Republican candidates came to despise Romney for his dishonesty and utter lack of scruples. I believe it. It seems like the more people see of Mittens, the less they like him.  He represents everything that is wrong with our politics--unlimited corporate money buying elections, pandering to right-wing fools and fanatics by reinforcing their hatreds and bigotry, and above all, uttering a continuous river of damned stinking lies, smears, and slanders. Romney lies so brazenly, so insistently, so repeatedly, and so incessantly that it almost beggars the imagination. (See here and here.) I want this son-of-a-bitch to go DOWN, and if we all get together, we can mop the floor with him if he becomes the lone survivor of the Clown Car that is the GOP presidential field this year.


Oh, and one last thing:


Romney outspent Santorum by about EIGHT TO ONE.


And the Republican turn-out in Iowa was lousy, even with all the Paulbots. 


Is that GREAT?

Yes, the Republicans Really ARE Trying to Destroy Medicare

Despite what you may have heard from Politifact, the statement, "The Republicans are trying to end Medicare" is the TRUTH, not the so-called "lie of the year". Jason Linkins at HuffPo has the lowdown on all this right here. Excerpt:

But let's recall, Politifact, that your lie of the year is "Republicans voted to end Medicare." And end it, they did vote to do! Now, if the Democrats had said, "Republicans take Medicare out behind the Cannon Office Building and horsewhip it," that's a different story. But you've decided -- incorrectly -- that the most vanilla way of the describing what happened is a deception.


And "privatizing" Medicare ends Medicare, as Medicare is a public entitlement program. (As a thought exercise for the folks at Politifact, why not stop buying gas for your car? You'll notice that at some point, your car will stop going forward without you pushing it. You did not "end your car." You've just made it less useful by no longer "funding" it with petrol.)


Politifact goes on:


They ignored the fact that the Ryan plan would not affect people currently in Medicare -- or even the people 55 to 65 who would join the program in the next 10 years.


Ha! No one in the world ignored that! That's the way you make ending an entitlement politically palatable -- you tell the people who are currently receiving the entitlement or about to receive the entitlement that it won't affect them. That way, the AARP doesn't, you know, SUMMON THE FORCES OF DARKNESS to vote you out of office. It's actually like Politifact just showed up in Washington yesterday!


[Politifact]: They used harsh terms such as "end" and "kill" when the program would still exist, although in a privatized system.


But it wouldn't exist in a privatized system as imagined by Paul Ryan! In the Paul Ryan plan, the premium support is not tied to health care cost. Healthcare costs go up, the premium support fails to keep up, and the result is altogether unrecognizeable from Medicare.


Read the whole thing, as they say in BlogLand. And remember:

Republican politicians are the ENEMIES of ordinary Americans. Period.

HURRAH! Kim Jong-il is Dead!

The most brutal tyrant on Earth, the leader of the Stalinist hell known as North Korea, has finally died. Kim was a brutal, vicious, unfeeling monster who allowed millions of his own people to starve and built around himself a cult of personality so vulgar and obscene that Caligula would be embarrassed by it. North Korea is quite literally the least-free nation in the world, and quite possibly the worst nation in the world in which to live. It is all the fault of the barbaric government first headed up by Kim's father, the scum-sucking Kim Il-sung, and then by Little Stalin himself. If I believed in hell, Kim Jong-il would be headed there. Good riddance to this piece of human garbage, and may his brutally and cruelly oppressed people someday be liberated and shown the truth about their "Dear Leader". 

I'm only sorry that he didn't die 30 years ago.

Something You REALLY Need to Read

It's from our friends at DKos,and it's right here. The title alone is worth it:

Newt Gingrich is a Lousy Human Being

(They had me at that.)

But the contents of the article BEG for your attention. It's not just Gingrich's views that are so often utterly, shockingly, confoundingly wrong--it's the fact that Gingrich himself is such a rotten person.
For example, did you know that not only did Gingrich argue with his first wife about a divorce the day after her third surgery for cancer, he stiffed her on child support after the divorce to the degree that his wife couldn't pay bills for electricity, medical care, and other expenses for Gingrich's own children? (I understand she was forced to turn to charity for help.) What a bastard. (I also understand that Gingrich said his first wife wasn't attractive enough "to be the wife of a president"!!!)

Read the whole thing and let me know what you think.

And then if you agree that this sumbitch needs to be politically destroyed, let me know and we'll help save America--together.

Gingrich: Liar, Hypocrite, Fraud, Grifter

There are many people to blame on the political Right for the appalling  landscape of American politics. Roger Ailes, who has been a race-baiter and professional liar par excellence ever since his days working for Nixon, and who is the evil presence behind Fox "News", the television propaganda arm of the Radical Right, certainly has been key. Utterly vile Republican political consultants, such as the late Lee Atwater and his apt pupil, Karl Rove, have lowered our politics to depths of ugliness and dishonesty so astonishing and depraved I would have hardly thought them possible at one time. Smirking racist and anti-Semite Patrick Buchanan has consistently interjected white supremacist poison into our discourse. And of course, the whole network of Right Wing Hate Radio hacks, led by vicious, corrupt, borderline-criminals such as Rush Limbaugh, vomits out a constant river of lies and smears. But in this whole despicable bunch, one figure stands out: Newt Gingrich, now the favorite to be the Republican candidate for president in 2012. Jonathan Alter has given us a useful reminder of this lying con-artists's personal history here:

In 1988, as a young representative, he helped drive House Speaker Jim Wright from office for allegedly violating House rules to profit from a book; at the same time Gingrich himself was skirting House rules to promote his own book. A decade later, in a separate matter involving a college course he taught, the Republican-controlled House made Gingrich the first speaker ever to be fined for violating House rules.


In 1989, he viciously attacked Democratic corruption at the House bank and post office. It turned out he was among those members overdrafting from the same House bank.


In 1994, he implied that liberals were at fault in the Susan Smith case, in which a mother infamously drowned her children. He later said the shootings at Columbine and Virginia Tech stemmed from the same “situation ethics” of liberals.


In 1998, he led the fight to impeach President Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky affair while he was already five years into an extramarital affair of his own — with a congressional staffer (soon to be his third wife) who was 23 years his junior.


In 2009, he called Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor a “racist” not long before he said the secret to understanding President Barack Obama was his embrace of the radical “Kenyan anti-colonial” mentality of his late father.


In 2011, he blasted the president for seeking the help of the United Nations instead of just bombing Libya unilaterally. After military action began, he said without blinking, “I would not have intervened.”

Liar. Right-wing radical. Moral lowlife. Smear-artist. Con man. Lobbyist king. That's Gingrich in a nutshell. And lest people allow themselves to be impressed by "professor" Gingrich's academic credentials, one of the commenters on this story makes an excellent point:

I wish people would stop referring to him as a history professor with the same tone of voice that they use for real academicians. He got his doctorate from Tulane studying Belgian education policy in the Congo. He taught at West Georgia College for crying out loud and couldn't get tenure. How bad do you have to be???


I don't doubt that the reason he was hired in the first place is that the year (1969) before he was hired (1970) the university went on a hiring binge where they got more new professors than had been on the whole faculty ten years prior.


If Freddie Mac paid $1.6 million for a "historian" with these credentials, then that in itself shows that Freddie Mac management is totally and completely inept.

Heh heh. well-put. And by the way, remember this: Gingrich ACTUALLY said that President Obama is a graver threat to America than Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler were. If he actually believes this, he's somewhere between an idiot and a lunatic. If he doesn't, he's a cynical, lying scumbag who is feeding the worst hatreds of the Radical Right's most unhinged members. In any event, he deserves to be politically crushed as thoroughly as any human in America deserves to be. In a way, it'll be fun if Gingrich is nominated by the lunatic Republicans.

We'll strip the bark off of this son-of-a-bitch.
