This is a pretty good video by Nickelodeon. It's amazing how many kids understand what few adults can...Of course, there is also the kids who you can tell their parents are influencing them to pretend that America is a "Christian nation" but still...And these kids are too young to know that the "God" part of the pledge of allegiance and "God"; being printed on our currency is a relatively new thing that was added to our Pledge and currency during the 50's and technically, still unconstitutional. And if majority rules, why is it illegal to refuse service to black people in the south? At one point, the majority supported segregation but that clearly didn't make it right or constitutional.
And you have to feel sorry for the free thinkers in places like rural Virgina and Alabama....Or the Muslims in Tennessee and of course the irony of the violence against that Tennessee mosque, which the Christians there are calling violent.
And then of course there is the irony of all the Christians and how big of a boner they get for the 10 Commandments when they clearly use/worship a cross when the the 2nd Commandment clearly tells them not to use such images, they worship not only God but Jesus and the Holy Ghost (and even Mary) when the 1st Commandment clearly states they are only to worship God and then they go to church on Sundays which goes against what the 4th Commandment instructs them to do when it says they need to worship on the 7th day of the week, not the first. And then of course there is the fact that only 2 of the commandments are something in our common law you can go to jail for breaking and those actually originated not from Moses, but from Hammurabi of Babylon 300 years before the 10 Commandments were even written.
If you think the US is a Christian nation, you are an idiot.
Treaty of Tripoli Article 11:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
Ratified by the senate and 2nd president John Adams in 1797
And why is that relevant?
According to Article 6 of the US Constitution:
Clause 2: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. "
Not to mention that 16% of the US is now, Non-Religious...That's a larger group of people than Blacks, Gays, Jews, Muslims and Asians and roughly equal to the amount of Hispanics who live in this country.

For Those Who Don't Understand the Evolution of Our Universe
And if you are wondering where the matter for the explosion came from, it came from the same place you think god came from. So if god could have come from nothing, so could have the earliest matter in the universe...In fact, it's more likely that something simple came before something as complex and perfect as god.

Now You Know Why I Call Them Faux News
From CNN: 3/22/2011
CNN correspondent rejects Fox report on human shields
And if we can't trust them on matters of this magnitude and this easily disputed, can you really trust them when they talk about Obama's secret socialist intentions or how many people showed up at a rally organized by one of their pundits or climate change for that matter.

ATT Is Buying T-Mobile
http://www.businessinsider.com/att-buys-t-mobile-2011-3
Didn't the government break up ATT during the 80s due to the fact that they were basically a monopoly?? If so, how are they not now going to be a virtual monopoly? What was the point??
And this another one of those things were if Reagan were alive today he would be considered a Democrat...Under Obama's watch this is allowed to happen but it was not allowed to happen under Reagan's anti-business, over intrusive, big government...Not that the President has a say in the matter but still.

Another Chain Email Put In It's Place
So I guess this is another one of those chain emails that are going around the teabagger circles. It came to me with the heading: Not Funny, but true dummies at work liberals and democrats
Oh the irony of a Republican using the constitution to keep the "big government" from telling someone what kind of light bulbs to use but I am sure he has no problem telling a woman what to do with her own body (Poe is anti-choice and has a 0 rating from NARAL an abortion rights group and a 100 rating from the National Right to Life Committee) and telling people who they are allowed to marry (voted yes on constitutionally defining marriage) or who can and can't serve in the military or what people smoke in the privacy of their own homes...All powers also NOT given to congress in the constitution. It must also me noted that he has no problem with the big evil government giving subsidies to oil and gas companies...Not surprising for a Congressman from Texas. He actually voted against removing these subsidies.
He has some valid points but I wish people on his side of the isle would finally realize they are just as guilty of "big government" as the people on the other side of the isle...Remember when Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers?That is not the work of a small, unintrusive government, nor is the Patriot Act or telling people who they can marry.
And by the way, by using these light bulbs which are 5x more efficient (a 15 watt fluorescent is equivalent to a 60W and 90% of the energy generate in an incandescent is heat, not light) and last 5-6x longer than an incandescent bulb, means you drastically cut down on your energy bill, you spend less time changing bulbs and you have buy fewer bulbs...And coal plants emit far less CO2. My building switched to these bulbs for our porch and hall lights and we saved over $1200 last year...And it isn't even that big of a building...So you could say they are doing this FOR us, not TO us.
And by the way, we can make light bulbs in the US...Its just with the trade agreements congress makes, it rewards companies to move jobs to China. I don't like that these are made in China but for the people who would rather shop at Walmart to save a few dollars than buy American made goods elsewhere, that shouldn't be a problem.
And I also love the irony that, after railing about "big government", he complains that the GOVERNMENT, needs to do more to find better sources of energy (another responsibility not given to the government in the constitution) and that the people aren't capable of making America more efficient...It's someone elses job (that would be the government), not a shared individual responsibility...So who's the dummy here?

God is Causing Earth Quakes Again.
Not that there was any doubt as to how retarded Glenn Beck is but this takes the cake.
So when god takes a day off giving AIDS to babies in Africa, he "punishes" Japan with an earthquake to show them what a compassionate, loving god he is in hopes of them converting to Christianity...Makes about as much sense as Bin Laden flying planes into buildings trying to convince Americans to convert to Islam...But then again, it's Glenn Beck and he plays with his own poop.
And I find it interesting that within Christianity and Islam they tend towards god doing bad things and punishing people and being the evil, vengeful guy. You don't hear them when someone wins the lottery saying "He must have been doing something right in gods eye for rewarding him with the jackpot". So if your god is such a dick that he does these things, why would you worship him? What, just because he might throw a temper tantrum if you don't? That's who you want to spend eternity with?? I would rather be worm food or come back as a cow in India or something. What they should be asking is why would god let a catastrophe like this happen? And why not punish child molesters (AKA as gods priests) and child murderers and shit? And not only that, how do you explain all the flooding and tornado's in the Bible Belt?? Maybe that's Vishnu punishing the people of Arkansas for praying to a false god??
Clearly this quake had nothing to do with the North American and Pacific tectonic plates...No, nothing to do with that but god. What year is this? Does he still think you have to sacrifice virgins in order to get rain? Why do religious people always look to the supernatural before looking to science? Well, this is why they are more gullible and will believe shit like Jonah living in a whale and that you reduce the deficit with tax cuts.

Unions
"Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist..."
If we don't stop them here, who are they coming for next? Imagine if Hitler would have been stopped by the trade unionists...Like the Communists were in Poland and thus ushering in democracy in the Eastern Block! ....Wait? Unionists were partly responsible for ending Communism in Europe?? It wasn't Ronald Reagan? You mean Faux News never talked about this?

Facts About Obama Spending and Debt
I am so tired of hearing from the tea baggers about how Obama ran up our debt and increased spending and is going to bankrupt the United States...It is true that spending under Obama has increased but I want to clear up all the misconceptions that you tea baggers have about how you are manipulating numbers to try and prove your point.
The bottom line is this: OBAMA HAS ONLY SUBMITTED TWO BUDGETS! THE 2010 and 2011 BUDGET. BUSH SUBMITTED THE 2009 BUDGET which was $3.1 Trillion.
Obama and Congress did have some stimulus add ons to the 2009 budget that added $185 billion (6%) to the 2009 fiscal year but it was ultimately drafted by the Bush administration.
That's how it works, the budget is always submitted the year prior to that fiscal year by the President which in this case was Bush in 2008 who submitted the 2009 budget.
So all the debt, deficit and spending numbers being used to calculate Obama's "increases" start with his 2010 budget, not Bush's 2009 budget.
The 2010 Budget was Obama's first budget. And of course with the small amount of spending increases by Obama, you have to account for the fact that he actually put the Iraq war ($130 Billion) on the budget (overseas military contingencies) which Bush did not(supplemental appropriations)...Not to mention the fact that the wars are still not over and we are still paying for them....And then of course all the interest on the Bush debt...And of course the decrease in revenue due to the Bush economy (-$420 Billion in 09). So not all of the increases in the 2010 budget were actual "Obama spending", like the $209 Billion, or 6% of our 2010 budget which is going towards interest on past debt, a lot of which is Bush's debt.
Here are the facts.
Ending in fiscal year 2001, the US had a surplus $127 Billion
The DEFICIT for Bush's 2009 budget was $1.42 Trillion.
Obama's 2010 Budget saw a deficit of $1.45 trillion...A 2% increase from Bush's 09 budget
Obama increased our national debt by 13.8% in 2010
Bush's increased the national debt 18.8% in 2009 and had increased the debt 11.2% in 2008.
The national debt at the end of 2000 before Bush's first budget was submitted was $5.6 Trillion, for the last Bush budget in 2009 the debt had increased to $11.9 Trillion, a 110% increase.
Over 60% of our budget is dedicated to the following:
Defense Spending (20%) - (Everything included, it's actually much higher than this)
Social Security (20%)
Medicare (13%)
Medicade (7%)
Obama didn't invent any of these, nor was he responsible for the wars or Empire which requires so much revenue for defense nor was he the one who has been borrowing from social security, nor did he have anything to do with the 2000 tax cuts ($2.2 Trillion) nor did he have anything to do with the HMO (Nixon) that allowed medical costs to skyrocket and thus make medicare and medicade as expensive as they are.
2009 also saw a 17% decrease in federal receipts (bad economy) from 2008...Also something Obama had nothing to do with.
So now we know that Obama has very little to do with our overall debt and deficit situation. The next time a teabagger tries to get away with blaming the 2009 budget on Obama, kick him square in his teabags.
I'm not the only one saying this!

Gov't Drops Defense of Anti-gay Marriage Law
Today the Obama administration said it will no longer defend a federal law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Of course, the Party of NO had this to say:
"While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, the president will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation" - John Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel
But wouldn't a bunch of fabulously over the top gay weddings stimulate(no pun intended) the economy?? Who else is going to hire a bunch of dancers and swans and shit for their wedding?
And tax cuts for the rich divided the nation and Republicans had no problem with that or trying to block health care...Or a thousand other things.
I think the Republicans in congress are just mad because now all their gay escorts might start pushing for them to propose.

Education Isn't Everything but it is Something
Even though I have only recently started watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann, it saddens me to see his show go. I am not a guy who likes a certain political slant with my news, I like reading The Week from time to time which gives you both sides of the story for instance. Kieth and Rachel Maddow are definitely commenting from the left, no question about it and are going to tell the story with a left wing perspective...To a degree. What I was amazed to find when I recently started watching MSNBC (it wasn' t in HD) was not that they were making up crazy conspiracy theories like they do on Faux News, or that they were reporting on the hypothetical outcomes of certain news stories but what makes them left leaning is that they basically, as I do, spend most of their hour merely debunking all the lies from the right. Every show they go through a list of all the lies or made up nonsense from the right leaning pundits and politicians but are also very happy to point out all the contradictions of those on the right. And since the majority of the loud mouth teabaggers in this country are the ones who get the attention of the media, I say they do have a responsibility to debunk the myths and fantasies of the right.
Well, my point is, why do they get to sit from on top of their perch and point out the wrongs of other people?? Well, I'll tell you why. Because they are in a better position to do so. Just as a Climatologist is in a better position to tell you what is happening to the worlds ocean temperatures than Sarah Palin, and just as a Geologist is in a better position than Glenn Beck to tell you how old the Earth is or an Astronomer can explain to Bill Oreilly how the tides work, the people on MSNBC are educated! Highly educated compared to the mainstream pundits on the right. I know I have talked about this before but I don't think I have ever done a post about it so lets have a look at the education levels of these said pundits, Here's the big 3:
Rush Limbaugh: Graduated High school then flunked out of Southeast Missouri State
Sean Hannity: Graduated High school and dropped out of both NYU and Adelphi University but later received an honorary degree from Jerry Falwell's Liberty University (AKA, not a real degree, not a real college)
Glenn Beck: Did barely graduate High school and although he took (and dropped out of) a Theology class at Yale, he was never enrolled in college full time.
On the other hand you have:
Keith Olbermann: Enrolled at Cornell University at the age of 16 and got a B.A. degree
Rachel Maddow: Has a degree in public policy from Stanford and a Doctorate in Philosophy (politics) from Oxford University
Arianna Huffington: Holds a BA in Economics from Cambridge University's, Girton College
Now it starts to make sense why one side is prone to believe in fairy tales and other stories that couldn't possibly be true and why one side is constantly debunking these fairy tales.
Again, just because someone didn't graduate from a prestigious college doesn't make them an idiot and certainly anyone who graduates from an Ivy League school isn't automatically an expert on everything but it would certainly be hard to call them an idiot.
And when it comes to economic policy and or politics, who would you have more faith listening to...Glenn Beck? A guy who believes in magic underwear and smoked pot and drank every day for about 20 years of his life or someone who has an actual degree in policy and economics?? At least Bill Oreilly has a degree in history...Which proves my point, just because someone has a degree in history for instance, it doesn't mean that they understand everything...Like how the tides work for instance...Which if you were unaware, God controls them.

Gee, What Could Possibly Incite a Teabagger to Shoot People?
And you thought the guy flying his plane into the IRS building was the end of it??
So what incites these people to go bat shit crazy??
"Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!' - Sarah Palin - Twitter
"Gather your armies" - In A Rick Barber Campaign ad featuring close ups of guns.
"I hope that's not where we're going, but you know if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out." - Sharon Angle, Senate Candidate Nevada
"The Second Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms for our citizenry...This is for us...This is for us when our government becomes tyrannical..." - Sharon Angle
"the second American revolution is being played out right now." - Glenn Beck
"There's a couple things shocking that I found yesterday...", "The other is what we are doing n Arizona...I think we are headed for civil war". - The Glenn Beck Program June 23rd 2010
We are at the point, Sean (Hannity), of revolution. And by that, what I mean, an orderly revolution.", "We have to rise up and say, 'no more. not on my watch. no more.'" - Michelle Bachman
"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back." - Michelle Bachman
"We'll use the bullet box if we fail at the ballet box" - Catharine Crabill, former candidate for Virginia's 1st congressional district
More to come soon I am sure.
Not to mention all the "We came unarmed...this time" signs you see at the Klan, I mean, Teabagger rallies...Even though they are actually showing up armed. Or the head stomping at the Rand Paul rally or Sean Hannity placing poll questions on his web page asking his readers which type of treason appeals to them the most and offering the three answers: A. military coup, B. Armed Rebellion, C. War of Secession.
Personally, I vote for just Secession. All the red states can elect oil lobbyists as their politicians, go to war with Mexico, give every 8 year old an AK-47 and find a way to fund all their federally subsidized states on their own. We won't even fight you for it!!
And I wonder if this will all subside when we have get another white WASPy President again? I mean think about it, we elected the 1st Irish Catholic President in 1960 and haven't had another one since. And of course there were fears from southerners and everyone else that when we elected this non-WASP that the Pope would end up running the country but that never happened just as Obama has only lowered your taxes and expanded the rights of gun owners.
And let's not forget these nuts who were most definitely inspired by Glenn Beck:
Byron Williams (Oakland)
Richard Poplawski (Pittsburgh)
and the thwarted attacks by Kenneth Kimbley (Idaho)
And probably Joseph Stack as well.
So what incites these people to go bat shit crazy??

"There's a couple things shocking that I found yesterday...", "The other is what we are doing n Arizona...I think we are headed for civil war". - The Glenn Beck Program June 23rd 2010
We are at the point, Sean (Hannity), of revolution. And by that, what I mean, an orderly revolution.", "We have to rise up and say, 'no more. not on my watch. no more.'" - Michelle Bachman
"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back." - Michelle Bachman
"We'll use the bullet box if we fail at the ballet box" - Catharine Crabill, former candidate for Virginia's 1st congressional district
More to come soon I am sure.
Not to mention all the "We came unarmed...this time" signs you see at the Klan, I mean, Teabagger rallies...Even though they are actually showing up armed. Or the head stomping at the Rand Paul rally or Sean Hannity placing poll questions on his web page asking his readers which type of treason appeals to them the most and offering the three answers: A. military coup, B. Armed Rebellion, C. War of Secession.
Personally, I vote for just Secession. All the red states can elect oil lobbyists as their politicians, go to war with Mexico, give every 8 year old an AK-47 and find a way to fund all their federally subsidized states on their own. We won't even fight you for it!!
And I wonder if this will all subside when we have get another white WASPy President again? I mean think about it, we elected the 1st Irish Catholic President in 1960 and haven't had another one since. And of course there were fears from southerners and everyone else that when we elected this non-WASP that the Pope would end up running the country but that never happened just as Obama has only lowered your taxes and expanded the rights of gun owners.
And let's not forget these nuts who were most definitely inspired by Glenn Beck:
Byron Williams (Oakland)
Richard Poplawski (Pittsburgh)
and the thwarted attacks by Kenneth Kimbley (Idaho)
And probably Joseph Stack as well.
