How funny it all is. The right wing extremists in this country support the Federal government using racial and religious profiling on the war on terror, but get so upset with Tea Party profiling as part of the war on idiocy.

(Yes, it's a joke. If you can't learn to smile when talking politics, find another hobby.)

While the profiling by the IRS is obviously illegal and wrong and must be dealt with in the strongest possible terms, this does not mean we should abandon discussions about the role that PAC's and these new tax exempt 'awareness organizations' have and should have in American politics. I might not like Tea Party PACs and you may not like union-based or left-wing based PACs. In both cases, these organizations seem to have undue influence on elections. Perhaps we actually have something in common although that thought does tend to boggle ones mind, doesn't it?

(The equivalent, in my mind, is to use unlawful tactics to catch robbers or murderers. The tactics are wrong, but the bad guys still need to be caught, tried, and put away if convicted.) PACs are nothing more than organizations designed to use big money to unduly influence the outcome of elections and, in the long run, represent a very serious threat to American democracy, regardless of the philosophy espouse.)

Nothing is ever the fault of Republicans.

Everything is the fault of Obama.
Obama doesn't do anything.

Go ahead and reconcile the last two statements if you can.
Moreover, I'd like to hear what actually IS (solely) Obama's fault. Be specific. What specifically did he do and what were the specific consequences. Dire predictions of what might happen in the future don't count.

Let's see:

Osama bin Laden's death was Obama's fault. That angered Al Quaeda who struck again in Libya. If Obama had just minded his own business and left bin Laden alone, the attack at Benghazi would have never happened. Oops, that one doesn't work.

Obama has been proactively going after many Al Quaeda leaders and knocking them off one by one. If he hadn't wasted all that money on drones, the Federal budget would be in a lot better shape. Oh wait, that one doesn't work well either.

Obama took the socialist route of having a jobs program and federal stimulus. Sure, it created several million jobs, but at the cost of making us a communist country. Newly employed workers are asked to give up their jobs as a show of support for the free enterprise system.

Obama has refused to appoint white Protestants to the Supreme Court, thus depriving the majority of Americans a voice on the Court. But then again, so did his predecessors. There are zero white male Protestants on the Court today. Another argument down the drain.

I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting

Surely you can find one thing to legitimately criticize with some facts.

The right wing could not even conduct a civil discussion about Obamacare. They used the same kind of tactics as totalitarians before them like the Nazis and the Bolsheviks (strange bedfellows indeed). Meetings were stacked with loudmouthed, rude attendants, often from out of town, to just shout down anyone who wanted to support or explain what is in Obamacare. Is that the conservative idea of democracy? Apparently so.

And why are the conservative idiots in Congress now trying, for the 40th time to repeal a law that they can't. It won't get through the Senate, it will be vetoed even if it did, and there is no way they have a 2/3 majority to override a veto. In the meantime, they sit there and do nothing to deal with issues the American public elected them to deal with:

A real budget in contrast to the Paul Ryan political statement thing which is a thinly disguised attempt to repeal Medicare and cut back on Social Security more than it is anything else
Jobs
Immigration reform
Jobs
Tax reform
Jobs

Duh duh duh. Get it? Americans want jobs and not symbolic votes to repeal a law whose provisions most people actually like. Reactionaries have stirred up negative feelings about Obamacare in general, but the reality is that most Americans support the specific provisions of the new law. Even the most controversial part of the law, the mandate, has been lied about. The entire purpose of the mandate is to get cheaters to pay their fair share for medical costs rather than paying nothing and then expecting the rest of us to cover their costs through Medicaid or other forms of public assistance. (Unless of course you like the Ron Paul idea of just letting people die when they don't have insurance and the money to pay for healthcare).

Todays Republicans-Tea Party: Morally corrupt and politically bankrupt

Duh man strikes again. Anti-fact and anti-data in outlook; anti-matter for brains.

No wonder people like you like Dan Issa. He's just like you. Step one: Form the conclusion; Step two: assemble facts, manufacture 'facts', to support step 1. Step three: Bully anyone who dares to offer other facts that don't support step 1.

Never accept responsibility or blame for anything your side does. Blame everything on the other guy for everything and anything. Attack on day one as was done with both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama; even before your perceived enemy does anything.

No wonder you can't win fair elections anymore; no wonder you have to rig the electorate when you can with excessive gerrymandering; no wonder you spend so much time trying to suppress the votes of your opponents. And you worry about tax exempt status for purely political PACs that try to disguise themselves as community service organizations, none of which (right, left, or center) should be tax exempt.

Why don't you reactionaries all move to Russia where they have the kind of system you seem to like and are trying to impose on America. Putin is much more of your kind of guy than anyone who really believes in democracy.

Summary:

Muscle for brains: Conservatives
Gray matter for brains: Liberals

Makes sense to me. Thanks for setting the record straight, Mr. Muscles.

A foot in the mouth beats a kick in the butt. Bon appetite to our conservative friends. Just one question: Is that red or white wine with foot? And why do I suspect the answer will be based on racism?

Men who are physically strong are more likely to take a right wing political stance, while weaker men are inclined to support the welfare state, according to a new study.
Researchers discovered political motivations may have evolutionary links to physical strength.
Men's upper-body strength predicts their political opinions on economic redistribution, according to the research.

from ABC timeline:

March–April 2010
The Determinations Unit began searching for other requests for tax exemption involving the Tea Party, Patriots, 9/12 and I.R.C. § 501(c)(4) applications involving political sounding names, e.g., “We the People” or “Take Back the Country.”

from wiki:
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),[1] commonly called Obamacare[2][3] or the Affordable Care Act, is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010.

duh it's George W. Bushes fault! duh itr's the Supreme Court's fault duh it's Teddy Roosevelt's fault du duh it's not Obama's fault duh

How ironic that the alleged abuses at the IRS took place under the Director who was appointed by George W. Bush and the guy who got fired, but wasn't there when many of the abuses occurred was appointed by President Obama. Guess the Republicans have missed that point. None of the above condones the abuses and laws and regs need to be strengthened to prevent recurrences, whether on the right or left.

Not much has been mentioned on how the SCOTUS Citizen's United decision is related to all of these political organizations that seek to be tax exempt. Most of these new 'tax exempt' organizations, right and left, seem to be abusing the law themselves since they are quite partisan and engage in direct political activity. So not only do IRS regulations need to change, but the whole concept of these big money in politics organizations needs to be reviewed and discussed. As I recall, the Constitution starts with 'We the People' and not 'We the Corporations'. The whole notion from the late 18th century that corporations can be treated like individual people is as misguided today as it was when anti-trust legislation first arose. As I recall, most of that legislation and regulation came under Republican presidents such as B. Harrison, T. Roosevelt, and Taft. Republican history of the 18th and early 19th century must be a terrible embarrassment to today's Republican-Tea Party.

Sad news guys, it has turned green again. This time, it may fungal.

So the Head Community Organizer Prezdint Barky, shuts down the community organizers who are forming Tea Parties.

It makes sense:

Obamacare is passed and the outraged citizens go to Town Halls to yell at their congressmen.

Tea Parties are formed.

Leftists freak out. Their little fantasy of representing the "People" in an uprising against capitalists implodes. The People rose up against them! The Left!

2010 Republicans capture the House. Double freak out.

IRS intimidates Tea Party groups through tax exempt merry go round and audits. For years in some cases.

Barky wins reelection.

So why you choose not go to heaven but stay in hell with your husband?

Because where ever he stays is heaven.

Barky is such a hamfisted thug. I can't stop laughing.

LOL

Let anarchy reign. The commies are just waiting to jump into the chaos the reactionaries seem hell bent on creating. The more they divide, the stronger our hammers and sickles get. Workers of the world, your time is near. Gather up your guns and be prepared to march to victory.

LOL it looks like 500 groups were targeted. They're going to start a class action lawsuit against Barky.

Sure does or does it? Do you know what this is about? Doesn't seem that you do.

Interesting.

It looks like the IRS silenced hundreds of Tea Party groups before the election.

LOL one scandal after another. The Kenyan goes after Tea Party and Jews.

It's not surprising at all is it?

oh no, not the bees! aaargh!

‘Obama policy will lead region to war,’ warns ex-Iraqi MP who’s paid heavy price for dissent
Mithal Al-Alusi, whose two sons were killed in a Baghdad ambush soon after he visited Israel, tells The Times of Israel he feels betrayed by the superpower which allowed him to return to his homeland
By Elhanan Miller May 10, 2013, 6:56 pm 19

Mithal Al-Alusi is angry. He is angry with Iran for supporting global terrorism. He is angry with Syrian President Bashar Assad for oppressing and killing his own people. He is angry with his own prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq, for colluding with the two.

But most of all, he is angry with US President Barack Obama for allowing this all to happen.

“Obama has handed Iraq over to Iran and said ‘do what you like’,” Alusi, a former Iraqi member of parliament who hails from the tribal Sunni province of al-Anbar in western Iraq, told the Times of Israel in a telephone interview from his home in Erbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdistan region in northern Iraq.

Ten years after freeing Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, the Obama administration has allowed a no less dictatorial regime to emerge, and then handed it over to its avowed enemy Iran, Alusi said.

Extremists preaching to students in Britain
Oxford University booked Hamza Tzortzis

Radical and intolerant Islamist leaders preached to crowds of students at almost 200 official events in the past year, according to a study of external speakers at universities including Cambridge, Birmingham and University College London.

Segregated seating for male and female students is understood to have been implemented for at least a quarter of those public meetings held by the Islamic societies at 21 universities.

If you are a registered Republican, then things pretty much balance out. In reality, people like you do far more damage to the Republican Party than a meaningless, coincidental membership that Castro had in the Democratic Party. I would venture to guess that most of that neighborhood voted Democrat whether they were formal members or not. The fact that two things are true does not mean they are correlated. Any idiot knows that.

I'm not worried about any impact on the Democrats. I'm just glad the Republicans have people like you. It keeps you out of the White House. I'll let you figure out why.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 2013 ― According to voter registration records, Ariel Castro, the Cleveland kidnapper who held three abducted local women in captivity for over a decade, is a registered Democrat.

Even more interesting is the timeline: Ariel Castro kidnaps his first victim, Michelle Knight, 21, on August 22, 2002. After a month and a half of raping the imprisoned girl half his age, on October 5, 2002, he decides to register as a Democrat. In about six months, on April 21, 2003, he abducts his next victim, Amanda Berry, aged 17. Almost a year later, the imprisoned women are joined by 14-year-old Gina DeJesus.

But at least we know he didn’t vote for Mitt Romney in the last election.

I assume the earlier post about hedgehogs was a thinly disguised reference to the NRA i.e. thousands of pricks.

Your daughter, no doubt. Now we know the lineage.

Oh no, I've just awoken. And Sabrina The Teenage. Witch is singing in my bathroom.

Life balances out. Think of all the schools in Asia and Africa that have no white students either. White people have no reason to complain about any of this. They were the ones who went to Asia and Africa as conquerers and exploiters. But worse yet, think of all of those white scientists and inventors who created all those things that enabled worldwide integration:

The boats of the 16th and 17th century (aka slave ships)
The car
The airplane
The telephone and other devices for rapid (instantaneous) communication.
Explorers like Columbus who couldn't have just stayed at home. (Actually, history has revealed that this was all Columbus' wifes fault since she was a shrew and dominatrix who drove poor Christopher out of his home).

I could never understand why history was never a popular course in our educational system. After all, in what other subject can you just re-write what you are taught to suit you own personal agenda? How many timess have you heard the phrase: 'history has taught us'? That's crazy. The overwhelming evidence is that man is a stupid animal that learns absolutely nothing from history and, moreover, loves to brag about it.

Shock as 84 schools have NO white British pupils at all... double the number of five years ago

More than 80 state schools in England have no white British pupils, Government figures show.
The number of such schools appears to have more than doubled over the past five years, and the findings will fuel concerns that some parts of the country are becoming increasingly segregated.
The new figures follow research showing that white Britons are retreating from areas dominated by ethnic minorities, to be replaced by immigrants and other ethnic minorities.

Get it now?

PS: Most groundhogs are Sunni too which only makes sense.

What about tuna mayo? Yeah, not so smart now, are you Mr smarty pants. And FYI, Hedgehogs are genetically incapable of learning Swedish.

Here is some information that explains Libya-Syria Benghazi and the Muzzie Brotherhood.

Obama is Sunni, Turkey is Sunni and Al Qaeda is Sunni.

Iran is Shiite.

Get it?

Saudi Arabia is also Sunni, remember the bow?

Ummm. OK

Damn that Bush!
When does Obama become president?

Broken record from a parallel anti-Earth solar system. The real numbers don't lie. Bush killed more Americans in Iraq than Al-Quaeda has throughout it's existence. Imagine the term limit amendment being waived and a contest between Obama and Bush for a third term. Bush is so popular with Republicans he wasn't even invited to their last two national conventions.

Wont you take me to,....funky town.

Obama lied.
Obama lied to himself.

He really, really wanted to believe 9/11 was all about Osama Bin Ladin. When we got Osama it would be over.

He didn't want to believe there was a war with Islamists and we had to fight them in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and interrogate them in places like Gitmo.

Of course Al Qaeda didn't kill our Ambassador. We got Bin Ladin didn't we? It was the video.

Obama is a fool, and his Middle East house of straw is collapsing.

George W. Bush knew better.

Militias are discussed in the main body of the Constitution. There was a clear rationale for having a system of state militias that could be nationalized by the President (which the anti-Federalists opposed). I will leave it to you to figure out the rationale since you have also stated your opposition to spoon feeding. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to make sure that citizens (at least, males) had weapons to bring with them if and when they were called into the militia. And once again, I don't know how to get through your stubborness on this issue. The Amendment states very clearly the purpose was for "the security of a free State". Nothing in that Amendment makes any reference to arms for individual use.

And, once again, in case you didn't notice, or don't remember, the Anti-Federalists lost the argument 13-0. And here you are still arguing a 200+ year old issue. You are living in the wrong century.
