Kenneth Copeland explains that God allowed Obama to be re-elected so America would learn that socialism doesn’t work:

Makes sense, God allowed Bush to be elected to prove that unregulated financial markets don’t work.

Howzabout… God allowed both of them to be reelected because when he gave us free will, he really meant it. And whenever God approves or disapproves of how we use our free will… he bites his tongue and smiles or rolls his eyes and continues to just watch silently.

Attention wingnuts, Africa is a big freaking place

Ebola fears have come home for one North Georgia high school.

Two Heritage High school students who arrived home today from a mission trip to Uganda will stay out of school for the next 21 days.

That’s after many parents raised concern that the 9th and 10th grade sisters might have Ebola.

But that’s despite the fact that the school tells us both the girls are healthy.

And they were in Uganda, in east Africa, which is more than 3 thousand miles from the Ebola hot zone in west Africa.

But yes, it’s funny how liberals are always “blaming Bush” but these are people who still bellyache about the “War of Northern Aggression.” Savage was saying that Obama’s praise of Lincoln meant martial law was most assuredly coming which got me thinking. Has any president not praised Lincoln in some shape or form? I think the only people in American elected politics who never expressed reverance towards Lincoln were unreconstructed Lost Causers.

There was a similar incident in Southern NJ a week ago as well. Someone living 2,600 miles from the West African Ebola epicenter.

That’s like worrying that someone from Oregon is going to get Ebola when the closest confirmed case is in New York.

Any mention of the word Africa is going to be interpreted as being Ebola-linked, even though Africa is a bigger place than North America and Australia combined.

The reason wingnuts love Reagan so much is that he was so great at acting the part of POTUS: the photo-ops, the salutes, the flag-kissing, all that theatrical shit. The fact that he totally sucked at actually BEING President slips right past them because they are so shallow, it’s all about the show, not the substance.

Also, many actors had to work at all the shit jobs at the low end of the income inequality stick before they got famous. They were waiters, or bartenders, or otherwise stuck in low paying dead-end jobs to pay the bills between acting gigs and auditions until they hit it big.

They might actually have a problem with income inequality because they know firsthand what it’s like to have to scrape loose change together in order to eat, or work insane shifts for shit wages and tips to make rent.

You know, that’s a point I never really thought about it in regards to actors and politics. But right, very few actors start at the top. Most of the right wing business types that have no problem with income inequality are those like the Waltons or Kochs who inherited most of their money anyhow.

Like him or hate him, Russell Brand nails the problem:

I think it’s sad that a comedian gets inequality more than many politicians do. He’s right. When you’re poor and you bring it up, you’re bitter because you’re not rich. If you’re rich and bring it up, you’re a hypocrite. To me there’s something wrong with a society where a small fraction control the majority of the wealth and if believing so makes me a socialist, I don’t care, call me Karl fucking Marx but I have a problem with that kind of society.

Also, many actors had to work at all the shit jobs at the low end of the income inequality stick before they got famous. They were waiters, or bartenders, or otherwise stuck in low paying dead-end jobs to pay the bills between acting gigs and auditions until they hit it big.

They might actually have a problem with income inequality because they know firsthand what it’s like to have to scrape loose change together in order to eat, or work insane shifts for shit wages and tips to make rent.

Only if they’re Democrats (or sane.) Remember, when Craig T. Nelson was on food stamps and welfare, nobody helped him out. (So sad he is a wingnut.)

I still subscribe to the age old- “When I fed the poor, I was called a saint but when I asked why are they poor hungry, they called me a communist.” Fact is. Most people with the exception of Randian nutjobs are okay with giving the poor a helping hand. Clothes, food, or whatever but many of those same people get infuriated if you want to discuss the causes of that poverty or solutions to alleviate it. We won’t ever have a classless society IMO but I do feel that every child shouldn’t be denied quality health care, education, etc because of what they were born into. Conservatives seem happy to just accept poor people staying poor because conservatives delude themselves about this idea that the poor man lacks virtue and that is why he is poor and conversely the rich man is filled with it hence why he is rich. I am not saying our own choices don’t effect our outcomes but the actual shaming of the poor by the right is much more offensive than any lefty who criticizes wealthy people who bitch about their taxes being “too high” when taxes are at a fairly historical low in this country.

Shit if you bring up Bush, you get STOP BLAMING BUSH and these are people who still blame Jimmy Carter for shit.

Jimmy Carter has a lot to answer for. It’s largely because of him that Guinea Worm is on the endangered species list. There were fewer than 80 cases last year.

Right. Really, these people are content with a society where the very poor stay very poor and I think that’s one of the things that separates a liberal from a conservative individual. I’m not against wealth. I’m against a system that is rigged in favor of the already wealthy against those trying to move up the ladder.

From the link:

Q. How do you feel about Governor Cuomo’s easing the quarantine rule?

A. Governor Cuomo did not ease any restrictions at all. The same policies we put into effect on Friday are still the same policies now. That’s been reported incorrectly. I spoke to Governor Cuomo last night. He’s in the exact same position that’s he’s been all along. So I have no response to him because there’s nothing to respond to. And remember, Illinois has since adopted this policy. So has, now, the state of Maryland. So, I’m telling you guys this is going to become a national policy eventually. Eventually the C.D.C. will come around. And remember, they were late to the game in Texas, and we have people infected because of it.

Except Maryland isn’t doing what Christie did.

He’s saying that somehow the fact that the Palestinian who rammed into a crowd and killed a baby is being hailed a a martyr by some is the Democrats’ fault…because reasons…and that Obama hates Israel because even though he has adopted pretty much the same policy towards Israel that every other president has had for the last 60 fucking years, he really is trying to support the Muslim Brotherhood. You know, the guys whose overthrow my the Egyptian military the administration supported. He’s a tricky guy that Obama!

Allen “Convicted War Criminal & Racist Beard” West has officially stated he thinks Obama is a seekrit Muslin so anything else he says is the same bullshit.

I wonder what West would think of a president who laid a wreath at a cemetery with SS men buried there or a president who had an adviser who said “Fuck the Jews they don’t vote for us anyway.” And don’t get me started on Nixon talking about Jews on the Nixon tapes.

Your points about Reagan apply to Republicans in general. They’re much better at theater than Democrats. They’re always outraged about something; if the Democrats are allowed to do anything, it’ll be the end of democracy in the US, etc, etc. In brief, they’re full of shit. Histrionics. It sells.
