Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

Nothing, I’ve just been citing stories related to this campaign, not the campaign site itself. Like, I’d been mentioning everything but that obvious thing – though I think one of my links had that link in it, like a nesting doll.

You’re not missing anything. Israeli polling is decidedly against unilateral strikes and even favors Obama over any Republican challenger, I might add.

Just try telling the GOP that their imaginary Israel is a little more complicated than their shallow “undying support” for it. They’d be as uncomfortable in Tel Aviv as they would be in Los Angeles. Idiots.

I’ve been on it, but I hadn’t given the actual site. 😉

“There’s never been hate in this family.”

You know, just an obsession with the NAACP and Black Caucus and a black president. I’ll bet you he has Johnny Reb in his music collection. “Coonshootin’ Boogie” no less.

I suppose it is more practical politically than pointing out the obvious that war drums and sanctions on Iran (which Mittens would totally institute more-er) aren’t conducive to global petroleum speculation and price fixing. 😉

What about the face-to-face meeting with the state prosecutor (or whatever), too?

I mean, I hate to go there, but dayyum if a conspiracist couldn’t connect dots here.

A map says more than any list, in my opinion

Dittoes, I’ve actually been meaning to have my own rant on this on the Planet, too. It’s blatant what they’re doing.

Also, the poll-tested buzzwords get to me. Vague things like “energy” and “these resources” sure sound better than clusterfracking sludge, I guess.

Oh wow, now that is a great find. But indeed, I thought something was up. His delivery has a communications and broadcasting background in it. No one sounds that calm and polished if they’ve never been in front of a camera.

Damned if I didn’t agree with Nancy Grace.

I must shower now.

In the other one they played in an Orthodox Church.

I still just love the name Pussy Riot.

On this note, I got a called for a poll, and was asked, do you think police and firemen can make their own decisions with their money or that politicians and bureaucrats should?

B’bam. It was referring to unions.

Somehow I don’t think this is how SCOTUS was supposed to work, but hell, we’ve already passed that bridge, haven’t we?

And now for something completely different.

I liked the term Clown Hell for especially ignorant bigots.

A little poking fun at pandering international rhetoric from the President, a Danish view

He’s one of the most famous historical people most have never heard of. There was even talk he run for public office. He was a rock star orator and indeed, probably the world’s most famous agnostic. I tried finding a good blog post on him, but this will do:

Ingersoll was beloved by outstanding people in all walks of life. Among his admirers were president James Garfield, poet Walt Whitman, President Ulysses S. Grant, industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, inventor Thomas Edison, preacher Henry Ward Beecher, and women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Ingersoll especially impressed Mark Twain. After hearing Ingersoll speak, he wrote his wife: “He poured molten silver from his lips. What an organ is human speech when it is employed by a master!”

In my teens it was Ingersoll who I lay claim to “converting” me from my atheism to agnosticism. Quite simply, I stopped caring or warring against God and people of faith. This is what did it:

I was being ironic too, but in a not so funny way. Same guys toasted the MEK this week in Congress, a registered terrorist group.

All while warning of hundreds, thousands, nay, millions of Hezbollah cells in the US of course.

Ask Mr. Peter King about the IRA.

The only difference I see is that the “Christian” dude looks angrier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8NmnikliMs

And honestly, what’s Christian about that. My grandma plays the tapes of her evangelical preacher and when he says “the Bible is the LITERAL WORD OF GAAWWWWWDD!” he spits it out with venom.

Why so angry? I don’t imagine Jesus to be always pissed off and condescending. I just don’t get the anger, I really don’t.

…except, that they’re really just frightened of change and literally can’t deal with it.

Yeah, and there’s a woman too. The only sane one is Sitton. He doesn’t stand a chance. Seriously though, have you seen that Kelly ad? He looks like a boy trying to act grown up. It would be more hilarious if it weren’t frightening. I mean, I don’t want just anyone to be in Congress. Sorry, I know that’s elitist, but man… he can never wipe that idiot smirk from his face.

» Posted By Khirad On March 22, 2012 @ 8:50 pm

Exactly.

And man, those Rhode Islanders were just anything goes hippies.

Or at least that’s what Sarah Vowell says. 😉

I have a copy of the Jefferson Bible too, though, btw. But yeah, the reason we have no established church is because that would have probably caused a war and we’d learned a little from Europe by that time.

That was my favorite part, that he picked up even the letters.

Well, funny apart from being a federal offense.

His challenger is actually dumber, but this “I’ll do what I want” attitude can only help him with Arizonan Republicans.

This is the state senator running for Gabby Gifford’s seat. He is also a vocal opponent of red-light cameras as being anti-freedom or some such libertarian claptrap. Well, guess who just got caught BLATANTLY running a red light?

I wish I could find you the video playing of his idiot primary challenger too. Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

And yet they claim the librul MSM isn’t telling the whole story, that maybe Zimmerman was under “threat” (as he was stalking the young boy) – I’d say there’s some racial overtones to that after-the-fact, if not even on Zimmerman’s part.

They were at the very least defending the right to pretty much shoot anyone for whatever perceived reason and that is nuts.

Random moment of funny.

I swear that 80% of them literally, and I’m not joking, literally need psychiatric help.
