Creationist Gov. Bobby Jindal’s Hilariously Stupid Politico Rant

Liberals believe “the earth is flat”
Wingnuts • Views: 29,419

Undoubtedly the most absurd, ridiculous GOP op-ed you’ll see today: creationist Gov. Bobby Jindal’s latest “don’t be stupid” piece for Politico: Opinion: GOP Needs Action, Not Navel-Gazing - Gov. Bobby Jindal.

After the re-election of Barack Obama, Jindal demanded that the GOP reflect on what caused the loss. Well, he’s over that now. After ranting that the GOP really doesn’t need to change anything, but just go on the attack, Jindal uncorks this hilarious litany of falsehoods and straw men:

At some point, the American public is going to revolt against the nanny state and the leftward march of this president. I don’t know when the tipping point will come, but I believe it will come soon.

Why?

Because the left wants: The government to explode; to pay everyone; to hire everyone; they believe that money grows on trees; the earth is flat; the industrial age, factory-style government is a cool new thing; debts don’t have to be repaid; people of faith are ignorant and uneducated; unborn babies don’t matter; pornography is fine; traditional marriage is discriminatory; 32 oz. sodas are evil; red meat should be rationed; rich people are evil unless they are from Hollywood or are liberal Democrats; the Israelis are unreasonable; trans-fat must be stopped; kids trapped in failing schools should be patient; wild weather is a new thing; moral standards are passé; government run health care is high quality; the IRS should violate our constitutional rights; reporters should be spied on; Benghazi was handled well; the Second Amendment is outdated; and the First one has some problems too.

This freaky laundry list of right wing red meat silliness ends up simply driving home the point that the GOP is hopelessly mired in reactionary idiocy. The guy who tells the GOP “don’t be stupid” also mockingly says:

…wild weather is a new thing…

There you have today’s GOP in a nutshell: belligerent, anti-science, anti-women religiously fanatical reactionaries, who think they’re being smart.

At some point, the American public is going to revolt against the nanny state…unborn babies don’t matter; pornography is fine; traditional marriage is discriminatory;

So, Nanny-State government is bad, but using government to restrict/outlaw abortion and porn is good and not being a Nanny-State government? Got it.

Everything You Need To Know About The 20-Week Abortion Ban Advancing In The House

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives will vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a measure spearheaded by Reps. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) that would cut off legal access to abortion services at 20 weeks after fertilization. It represents the most restrictive abortion bill to come to a vote in either chamber over the past decade. Here’s what you need to know about this attack on women’s reproductive rights — and how it fits into a broader, coordinated nationwide campaign to slowly chip away at abortion access:

So much for State’s rights.

This is all part of an ongoing debate within inte GOP about who to include, who to court and who to exclude.

They are obviously going for the narrow-but-solid approach: ingore the minorities but really lock up those “base” voters in a way that Mitt Romney could not.

And this ignoroid list of what “the Left” stands for is right out of an AM talk radio show…

Turks invent new form of ‘standing’ protest to get around ban on gatherings

A man stood still in Istanbul’s Taksim Square: silent, staring straight ahead, he had not moved for hours.

His peaceful action, on the square that police cleared of protesters on Saturday and where the Turkish authorities have banned gatherings, was a new form of protest.

He arrived Monday evening as night was falling and took up position in the middle of the square, just a stone’s throw from Gezi Park.

Five hours on, the man was still there, hands in his pockets, a bag and some bottles of water at his feet.

He was staring at a portrait of the revered founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk that hangs from the top of the old cultural centre. Ataturk who established Turkey as a secular state.

Word spread quickly online: on Twitter, the hashtags #Duranadam and #standingman ran a steady stream of comments, together with some photos on the event.

Hundreds of people approached the square to see for themselves.

The man behind this ‘happening’ was choreographer Erdem Gunduz: his one-man protest was designed to get around the ban on gatherings in the square.

Seeing Jindal jump completely onto the crazy train must be disturbing to those few Republicans left who thought that, just maybe, the carnival freak show of 2012 was a one time fluke.

Sorry, but it’s mainstream Republicanism now, and the country is far worse off because of it.

Oh Bobby, where do we start with this.

I don’t have time for a proper fisking line by line, but here’s a quick take.

Thy name is projection and cognitive dissonance. Yours is the party that is standing for anti-science - rejecting climate change, evolution, and separating church from state - especially in classrooms.

You and your party are attempting to ram religious doctrine into science classrooms in the name of “diversity” or “complementary viewpoints” or other blatherings. Intelligent design isn’t science. Creationism isn’t science.

It has no room in the science classroom.

Want to teach creationism - stick it in a comparative religions class, where you can discuss them in the proper context and not how the universe (or Earth) was created in seven days.

All this comes from the party that claims to be pro-business and pro-economy, but all the anti-science and junk science policies undermine the economic vitality and educational foundation that folks need to compete in a world increasingly driven by science and technological developments.

Breaking: Full House committee transcripts shed new light on genesis of IRS targeting

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have just released a full transcript of testimony from a key witness in the investigation of IRS targeting of conservatives — and it appears to confirm that the initial targeting did originate with a low-level employee in the Cincinnati office.

It also shows a key witness and IRS employee — a self described conservative Republican — denying any communication with the White House or senior IRS officials about the targeting.

Rick Scott signs “Kill them all, let God sort them out” bill into law

Florida leads the nation in death row exonerations. Twenty-four inmates sentenced to die in Florida were later proved to be innocent. Meanwhile, just 74 people have been executed since the Supreme Court reauthorized the death penalty in the 1970s — so there is one exoneration for every three people executed in Florida. Nevertheless, a new law signed by Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) will speed up future executions and reduce the time available for attorneys to prove their client’s innocence.

The new law requires the governor to issue an execution warrant within 30 days of an inmate exhausting their legal remedies and require the execution to take place within 180 days after such a warrant has issued. In many cases, however, crucial errors in a prosecution are not discovered until years after a sentence is handed down. Hundreds of people, for example, may have been convicted due to flawed FBI analyses that were only recently revealed, despite the fact that government officials knew of the flaws for years.

This reads like a screed by a right wing blogger not an elected governor. Sorry Bobby but we don’t view” traditional marriage” as discriminatory, we view you using the power of the state to tell gay couples they can’t enjoy the same rights under the law as straight ones as so but go on and tell us more of your insights about liberals and liberal democrats because you clearly don’t have a clue how we actually think. Now go away.

How could gays possible understand the bonds traditional marriage forms between a man, his wife, his chattel-mistress, and any of his slaves he wants to copulate with?

What, North Carolina at 50.6-48.4 isn’t close enough for you?

Oops. Forgot about NC. The next closest GOP margin was GA (7.8% Romney margin), so I’d say GA would have gone to any GOP nominee in 2012, no matter how crazy.

Obama states that went for Obama by a margin of less than the Romney GA margin are FL, OH, VA, CO, PA, NH, IA, NV, WI, MN.

Obama really did run the table on just about all of the close states in 2012.

This was an incumbent president vs. an awful candidate. The GOP is not yet dead at the national level.

Immigration Advocates Like the KKK, ‘Just Not Wearing White Cloaks

Yesterday, Glenn Beck accused the immigration reform advocates who held a peaceful protest outside the home of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach of practicing “domestic terrorism” just like the Ku Klux Klan. Today, Kobach himself appeared on Beck’s radio show and agreed with this assessment. “They’re just not wearing white cloaks, but this is exactly KKK type of intimidation,” the Kobach said.

“The left is set up on revenge,” Beck responded, “and so they’re using the tactics of those who kept them down in the past that we all tried to defeat…So they’re just changing their hood or changing their language, but it is not changing who they really are or what they’re trying to do.”

By the way Louisiana is a state that lets companies store pressurized natural gas in a salt dome under a lake.

But wait! Lake Peigneur is the site of a previous industrial environmental disaster:

On November 20, 1980, when the disaster took place, the Diamond Crystal Salt Company operated the Jefferson Island salt mine under the lake, while a Texaco oil rig drilled down from the surface of the lake searching for petroleum. Due to a miscalculation, the 14-inch (36 cm) drill bit entered the mine, starting a chain of events which turned what was at the time an almost 10-foot (3.0 m) deep freshwater lake into a salt water lake with a deep hole.

It is difficult to determine exactly what occurred, as all of the evidence was destroyed or washed away in the ensuing maelstrom. One explanation is that a miscalculation by Texaco regarding their location resulted in the drill puncturing the roof of the third level of the mine. This created an opening in the bottom of the lake. The lake then drained into the hole, expanding the size of that hole as the soil and salt were washed into the mine by the rushing water, filling the enormous caverns left by the removal of salt over the years. The resultant whirlpool sucked in the drilling platform, eleven barges, many trees and 65 acres (260,000 m2) of the surrounding terrain. So much water drained into those caverns that the flow of the Delcambre Canal that usually empties the lake into Vermilion Bay was reversed, making the canal a temporary inlet.

An out of state energy company is looking to expand drilling in the area. The lake is actually bubbling ominously right now but authorities say there is nothing to be concerned about.

When there are states that aren’t on the “conservative” crazy train, then it’s an excuse for said “conservatives” to legislate their views on them with federal regulations and laws…and they see absolutely nothing wrong or out-of-place about it.

Erik Rush Blames Liberals for Trayvon Martin’s Murder

Martin is “more a victim of his lifestyle than a victim of George Zimmerman,” Rush writes, calling him “someone increasingly invested in the unregenerate hedonism, conceit, belligerence, and rebellion of the thug culture.”

“Trayvon also came from a broken home, as does the overwhelming majority of black youth, thanks to liberal policies,” he continues, “This self-destructive lifestyle, which is vociferously defended by liberals, is proffered as a valid and almost sacrosanct reflection of ‘black culture.’”

He further linked affirmative action, welfare programs, the “propaganda of the left” and shows like “MTV’s Jersey Shore television program” to Martin’s murder: “This is the world of chaos and mediocrity to which Trayvon Martin aspired, and I maintain that it went just as far toward killing him as George Zimmerman’s pistol.”

Report: Slowdown In U.S. Medical Costs May Really Be A Trend

There’s good news for most companies that provide health benefits for their employees: America’s slowdown in medical costs may be turning into a trend, rather than a mere pause.

A report Tuesday from accounting and consulting giant PwC projects lower overall growth in medical costs for next year, even as the economy gains strength and millions of uninsured people receive coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

If the calculations are correct, cost spikes because of the new health care law should be contained within a relatively narrow market segment. That would come as a relief for Democrats in an election year during which Republicans plan to use criticism of “Obamacare” as one of their main political weapons.

I tend to agree with Andrew Sullivan that Christie will sit out 2016, and is looking ahead to 2020. Christie may have concluded that the GOP will be just as crazy in 2016 as they are now, which makes sense, since Obama will still be President. And it seems that Christie isn’t willing to insult himself the way Bobby Jindal is, by pandering to the right-wing “base”.

If the Republicans sober up after 2016, Christie may want to run in 2020 or 2024. If he’s sitting out 2016 out of disgust, I respect him for that.

What the GOP needs is to lose at least the presidency (and better yet, both houses of Congress) by truly humiliating margins (e.g., winning 5 states or less in the presidential race). It would take that level of defeat to force the course correction it so clearly needs.

Since this isn’t going to happen anytime soon, we’ll have many years of bad craziness from the GOP to watch.

Why is it that looking at pictures or video of naked people having sex is immoral and unhealthy, but being sexually aroused by guns is not?

So, Nanny-State government is bad, but using government to restrict/outlaw abortion and porn is good and not being a Nanny-State government? Got it.

You can have my porn when you pry it from my warm sticky hand.

But are you out of the womb? Oh, wait. Doesn’t matter to the GOP.

Just remember, every sperm is sacred…
