To be fair, I don't think Mark Kirk actually identifies with the Tea Party...Although he is trying to keep black people in Chicago from voting in this election so there is that.

Republican Stormtrooper Thug Squads at it Again

This just only a few feet from Ru Paul himself and only a couple weeks after a reporter in Alaska was handcuffed and illegally detained for asking another Teabagger, Joe Wilson a question. Isn't that what they do in Iran? With the assault rifles and everything else this is starting to make the Bush years and his war of terror look like Disney Land. And these are the guys worried about the powers of a big government?? Imagine how they will operate when they are the government!!

This is Gold

Wow, if she looked like Chris Coons, no one would have ever heard of Christine O'donnell. But, since she gives red state men boners and reminds them of the good ol days of bimbo house wives, we have people like her and Palin providing such great political comedy.

But I have to admit, I get where she is trying to go with this; it doesn't specifically say "The church and state are always separate" in the First Amendment. And in asking where this clause is found, I would tell her it was right next to the word "hand gun and machine gun" clause in the Second Amendment and the words "God" and "Christian" in any other part of the Constitution.

Not every issue in the modern world is addressed in the Constitution. Internet porn for instance is never mentioned in the Constitution and it is legal nor is the idea that Corporations are people and that they have the same rights, just not the same responsibilities as people even though all the people within that corporation already have their individual rights to contribute to and support any candidate of their choosing. So, I never read any where in the Constitution that says owners of corporations get to have their say twice as much as people who do not have a corporation but the activist judges in the Supreme Court have looked at the Constitution and interpreted it as such to where they believe these rights should apply to corporations just as many wiser Justices in the past have looked at the Constitution, studied it, studied the writings of the authors of the Constitution, studied what they were trying to get away from in Europe, and determined that their intentions, as stated in Thomas Jefferson's writings, were to create a country where the church and state remain separate. Not only that, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", is pretty clear that the United States cannot endorse a religion or religious beliefs and principals and further more, that no one can be judged on or by religious principles and in Article 6 of the Constitution they even drive this point home further by adding this clause: "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States" which essentially states that no religion has any authority over the federal government.

Ironically, her being a tea bagger and all, what is also in the Constitution is the 16th Amendment which gives Congress the power to levy an income tax. So not only do many Tea Baggers and conservatives want to get rid of taxes, they apparently want to scrap the entire Constitution as well. They want to rewrite, the 1st Amendment, the 16th Amendment, Article 6 and now even the 14th Amendment. So, why is it ok for them to actually want to change all these components of the Constitution but when someone says that perhaps the founding fathers didn't intend on 16 year olds being able to walk into a K-Mart and walk out with military style hand guns which can fire 1200 armor piercing bullets per minute and take it to school, they flip their shit and pretend they are staunch Constitutionalists and go on about the founding fathers, blah, blah, blah??

The next time some conservative Tea Bagger talks about being a Constitutionalist, give them a good ole fashioned cock punching.

Christine O'Donnell

Wow, so I didn't really know anything about this chick and just assumed she was some crazy right wing nut who loved the lord and guns and hated sex and science....Boy was I right.

Here are some excerpts from Wikipedia that I find interesting:

O'Donnell has been described as a former Catholic turned evangelical Christian.^[1] She has said that she now attends both Protestant and Catholic services.^[93] She has stated that she prays on every decision she makes and that during the 2006 primary she, "heard the audible voice of God".^[94]

-Yes, God spoke to her personally

In a 1996 discussion on CNN, O'Donnell advocated the teaching of creationism in public schools. O'Donnell was also critical of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, asserting that it is merely a theory.

-Only in the way that gravity is a "theory". Asserting from no evidence that the Earth was created by a magic man in the sky 10,000 years ago is only a theory.

While in her early 20s, O'Donnell took a stance against masturbation, calling it "sinful".^[96] She will not say whether she continues to hold this belief.

-She isn't and has never been married and since she preaches abstinence before marriage, we have to assume that she is either A. being a hypocrite and having sex, B. Being a hypocrite and masturbating or C. Has no genetalia.

O'Donnell is pro-life.^[84] She opposes abortion, including in cases of rape and incest.^[13] She would allow abortion with the family's consent, if the woman would otherwise die.^[75] O'Donnell opposes human embryonic stem cell research,^[70] human cloning,^[13] and research into cloning monkey embryos.

-I wonder if she were raped by a liberal, illegal Mexican immigrant if she would change her mind on this one?? And yes, she, along with Jesus, is against cloning monkey embryos.

On October 29, 1999, O'Donnell laughingly said, "I dabbled into witchcraft — I never joined a coven ... I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do". She added, "One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it."

-WTF?

She came to a turning point during college when she found herself drinking excessively and having sexual relationships with men with whom she lacked a strong emotional connection.^[8] She would later say of this period, "I know what it's like to live a life without principle."^[13] She became increasingly interested in both politics and religion.^[10] She became an evangelical Christian, began preaching sexual abstinence and joined the College Republicans.

-This is code for being gay. Men become Catholic Priests, women do this.

She attended her university's commencement ceremony in 1993 but did not receive a degree. O'Donnell later said the degree was withheld due to unpaid tuition.^{[nb 2][12]} In 1994, Fairleigh Dickinson University sued her for $4,823, winning a judgment for the entire amount according to court documents.

-Fiscal responsibility; strike one

She served as a spokesperson for Concerned Women for America,^[15] a conservative Christian political action group that opposes abortion^[16] and seeks to apply biblical principles to other issues of public policy.

-Yes, if your kids talk back to you, you should be able to stone them and not only that, you should be put in jail for having "other gods before me" and or not honoring the Sabbath.

She founded The Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth (The SALT) in 1996 and served as its president.^[13] The organization lobbied the U.S. Congress on moral issues^[3] and promoted Christian values including sexual abstinence before marriage to the college-age generation.^[18] O'Donnell made a number of high profile television appearances as a representative of SALT. In 1996 she appeared on MTV's Sex In The 90's, and advocated for sexual "purity" and against masturbation.

-I'll bet she has a huge pile of lesbian porn she rubs one out to every night...Not that there's anything wrong with that.

She registered a gender discrimination complaint against ISI with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), after which she was fired in 2004.^[3] She then sued ISI in federal court for $6.9 million for wrongful termination claiming gender discrimination and that she had been fired in retaliation for filing the EEOC discrimination complaint. She said ISI's actions caused her mental anguish^[3][24] and were a consequence of "ISI's conservative beliefs".^[25] She also claimed and that she had lost future financial earning power because ISI's actions had delayed her education.^{[nb 3]} ISI defended its action by alleging that she had conducted a for-profit public-relations business while on their time.^[3][15] O'Donnell dropped the suit in 2008, stating she could no longer afford an attorney.

-Freeloader. Way to stand behind your principles. Sounds like someone was looking for some easy money. I thought Republicans and especially Teabaggers were in favor of corporations and other entities to be free to do and hire and fire as they please and against business crippling regulations and law suites that pad the pockets of ambulance chasing trial lawyers?? Guess not.

In 2008 O'Donnell defaulted on the mortgage for her Wilmington house and the mortgage company obtained a judgment against her for $90,000. The house was due to be sold at a sheriff's auction in August 2008 when she sold it the month prior to her campaign's lawyer and then boyfriend.

-Fiscal Responsibility; strike two

The Internal Revenue Service filed a lien in 2010 that said that O'Donnell owed $11,000 in back taxes and penalties from 2005, according to public records.^[3] O’Donnell said that it was a mistake and a computer error,^[28] and noted that the IRS agent handling the matter claimed he was perplexed by the agency's actions.^[3] In campaign finance reports, she listed herself as self-employed and said she was doing odd jobs to make ends meet.

Her financial practices were criticized by former campaign staffers Kristin Murray and David Keegan, with Murray charging that during her 2008 campaign, O'Donnell used campaign funds "for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt."^[68][69] CNN reported that O'Donnell's 2010 campaign did pay $3500 to the candidate's mother for bookkeeping and financial consulting, and noted that it is not illegal for a candidate to employ a family member to work on their campaign.

-Fiscal Responsibility; strike three

The Rage of the Misinformed

A. The IRS has no power to enforce health care coverage. the IRS is prohibited from criminally prosecuting taxpayers who don't comply with the new mandates or issuing liens or levies as a penalty under the new law....They do however still have the power to audit tax cheats for instance. The Department of Health and Human Services are the ones who set up guidelines for "acceptable coverage".

B. The Revolutionary War was not over a tea tax, it was over taxation without representation.

C. He didn't mention why congress needs so many taxes which is to support our Empire, The Wars a conservative Republican started, Our defense budget which is more than twice that of North Korea, Iran, China and Russia combined, we have the 2 largest Airforces on the planet (1.US Airforce, 2. US Navy,), our 8 Billion dollar Agricultural subsidies which mainly go to rural, republican states such as Alabama, etc.

D. Where was he when Bush was actually taking away our "Constitutional rights"?

E. Neither Washington, Franklin or Adams ever owned a tavern

F. Sam Adams was not a brewer, he worked briefly for his father who sold malts to brewers. He also had absolutely no business sense whatsoever, which is one reason he went into politics.

And let's not forget the irony here of him supposedly talking to our founding fathers who were distillers, "brewers" and "tavern owners"(which they weren't) and how the tyrannical government is stifling business owners whilst in the state of Alabama it is illegal to sell alcohol in 26 of its 67 counties. Not only that, the state controls all hard liquor sales and pricing is also state controlled. Plus, no free business man is able to sell alcohol off premises after 2am, can't sell beer in containers over 16oz's or sell wine over 14.9% alcohol so if you like Port wine, you shouldn't live in Alabama. Plus you can't sell alcohol from any store other than a state run store on Sundays. Not only that, lets talk about all the self-auditing that has to be dealt with in the the 113 page Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Administrative Code.

And don't get me started on the shots of the guns and what they are trying to say with that and "gather your armies". By the way, in Alabama, impeach is synonymous with the term "lynch".

At the end of this commercial is should say, "I'm Rick Barber and I didn't fact check this message."

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

There has been a lot of confusion out there lately among conservatives and teabaggers about the political affiliation of our President. Some say he is a Socialist some say a Marxist and some say a Communist with most Democrats calling him a classic centrist. Forget the fact that Obama is a politician and not an Economist and since Socialism is an economic system, not a form of government, we'll assume most of the people using these labels are idiots and don't even know what they are talking about.

First of all, he is a Democrat with mostly liberal leanings but also some fairly moderate views. But, since he wants to take the profit and exploitation out of health care and provide health care or at least affordable insurance to everyone in America, that's how he gets the tag of "Communist" or "Marxist". Well, first of all, there is nothing in the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx about providing health care to everyone.

In fact, let's look at the 10 main points of Communism and see how well Obama is following his so called political ideology.

1. Abolition of property and land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. Nope, nothing Obama ever talked about.
   
2. Heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Since 1913, has been getting smaller and smaller since 1980.
   
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance. Nope, nothing Obama ever talked about.
   
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. Nope, nothing Obama ever talked about.
   
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. Since 1913 we have had a National Federal Reserve banking system but it has never been a monopoly and no one is talking about making it one. The first national, central bank in the US was created back in 1791 so you know, you can't blame that on Obama because he was still killing Christians and white people back in Kenya.
   
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. Well, since the advent of the Interstate Highway system that has been in the hands of the government and there is a virtual communication monopoly by AT&T but it isn't government run, just capitalism in its purest form.
   
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of wasteland, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with common plan. Hmm, cultivation of wasteland would be a great idea, unless of course it's the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge...Wait, so Bush was a Communist?
   
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. Industrial armies??
   
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country. White people have built themsleves all kinds of suburbs abandoning the cities and building on once country pastures abolishing the distinction between town and country but again, that's market forces and the free market doing that. Suburbanites are Communists!
   
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of childrens labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. Oh God no! Free education, no child labor?? Grab the hammer and cycle and run for the hills! Well, we have had free, unequal, public education for many many years now so yet again, nothing to do with Obama.
    

Obama is a complete failure as a Communist.

So the 10 main components of Communism have either already existed in this country for years, have been created on their own by the free market and capitalism or the idea has never even graced Obama's lips. So the next time someone calls Obama a communist, give them a good donkey punch in the back of their head.

But the Teabaggers of the world still say that he is living up to Marx by following the idea of, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" and Sean Hannity says this is taken right from the pages of the Communist Manifesto. Well, it isn't. But that's beside the point. Let's assume for a minute that statement was Obama's motto and if it were true, should he be labeled a Marxist? Communist? Let's see:

Acts 4:32All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. ³³ With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. ³⁴There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales ³⁵ and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

Oh my God, Obama is a........................................Christian.

That's funny, I thought he was a Muslim, Arab, Marxist, terrorist.
