Here’s what was loaded on the teleprompter: “Energy”, “Budget cuts”, “Tax” and “Lift American Spirits”.

Quote: “This is about the people, and it’s bigger than any one king or queen of a tea party, and it’s a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter.”
And she got paid over $100,000 to deliver that line because the tea partiers find her ugly and boring, riiighht . . .
This woman is the joke with a never-ending punchline.
When she learned of Emanuel’s calling liberal activists ‘fucking retarded’, she saw a terrific opportunity and pounced. But when Rush Limbaugh did the exact same thing, her spokeswoman embarrassed her by saying “Gov. Palin believes crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”
Palin made it clear that is not what she believes:
“They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh,” she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups “retards.” “Rush Limbaugh was using satire … . I didn’t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with ‘f-ing retards’…”
Limbaugh:
“Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. I mean these people, these liberal activists are kooks.”

This is difficult to write. My grandfather suffered through dementia for the last 15 years of his life. It’s never easy to talk about, and in politics, it’s particularly difficult because of all the potential for cheap-shot concern-trolling…
But there’s a dirty little secret everyone is keeping in Pennsylvania and Washington. It isn’t difficult to puzzle it out for yourself; in fact, given the circumstances, it’s probably difficult to avoid developing nagging suspicions. But there are a lot of stories being told off the record and in hushed whispers. Tonight, I’ve decided to stop whispering and come forward with my own.
Mike is talking about Arlen Specter.
. . In the basement of the Russell Senate office building, there is a subway that ferries Senators and staff to and from the Capitol. Senator Spector was making his way over to the Capitol to cast a vote when I caught up with him and asked if he had decided to support or oppose the Bernanke nomination. He said he hadn’t decided. I asked him if he knew that Bernanke had said he was less concerned about unemployment than inflation. Specter answered gruffly that he was still making up his mind. Then he walked over to a call-button for the subway and pressed it several times.
The subway was already in the station.
It’s not like you can hide a subway.
The guard behind us yelled to the Senator, “Senator, he’s right there!” The driver of the subway yelled to the Senator, “Senator, I’m right here!” Specter continued to press the button for another coupla seconds before suddenly realizing the subway was already in the station and boarding.
A week ago, Specter inexplicably wandered up onto a ’stage’ that his opponent was currently addressing a crowd from:
Arlen Specter’s Kanye West Moment
After refusing to debate his opponent and insisting on strict rules for tonight’s Senate forum with Joe Sestak Sen. Arlen Specter stormed the stage while the Congressman was speaking and seemingly tried to confront and/or intimidate him while he was speaking at the Pennsylvania Progressive Summit…
Obviously standing just off the ballroom listening not only to the questions but to Joe Sestak’s responses he cheated on the format. Then for some very strange reason he bounded for the stage and mounted it. Was he having a senior moment, was he trying to throw Sestak off his game on live TV or was he deliberately trying to sabotage what was a finely organized event?
Saturday, after winning the Pennsylvania State Democratic committee, he couldn’t recall the name of a Pennsylvania Senator he wanted to call out:
LANCASTER, Pa. — Even as he accepted the resounding backing of the Pennsylvania Democratic state committee here Saturday, party-switching Sen. Arlen Specter’s vulnerability was on vivid display as he botched the name of a key Democratic officeholder in his acceptance speech.
“I’ll be fighting hard for the entire Democratic ticket. Sen. Andy — Andy —” Specter said, before pausing briefly, squinting his eyes.
“From Chester County,” he continued, losing his train of thought after clinching an emphatic 229-72 Senate endorsement vote from party regulars just minutes earlier.
“Dinniman,” the crowd responded almost in unison, referring to the state senator who represents West Chester. One committee member seated in the audience dropped his head and shook it.
There’s no practical purpose for this lawsuit.
However, according to the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, “[the non-discrimination rule] exempts all religious organizations, which includes corporations, associations, and religious societies. In addition, all educational institutions are exempt if the educational institution is at least substantially controlled or owned by a religious organization or if the institution’s curriculum is directed towards the propagation of a religion.”
They can preach all the hate they want, they’re in no danger. Nevertheless:
The Thomas More suit, however, goes even further than just challenging hate crimes protection for LGBT people; it challenges the findings of the Matthew Shepard investigation.
“Thomas More attorneys make the case that the perpetrators of the murder of Matthew Shepard were subject to more several criminal penalties under existing state criminal law than under the new federal Hate Crimes Act,” religious news outlet Christian Post notes. “They also say there is evidence demonstrating that the senseless and brutal attack on Shepard was not motivated by hate or bias; rather, it was motivated by money and drugs.”
Again. As if a judge would say “. . . really? Well, that changes everything: I’m invalidating this law because now I know how Matthew Shepard actually died.”
What’s happening here is that the self-righteous are uncomfortable. They crave the brace of authority, but authority puts them on the wrong side of right and wrong. So, they call their lawyers because they just don’t know what else to do.
“Of the 1.38 million violent crimes reported in the U.S. by the FBI in 2008, only 243 were considered as motivated by the victim’s sexual orientation,” he wrote on the group’s Web site. “The sole purpose of this law is to criminalize the Bible and use the threat of federal prosecutions and long jail sentences to silence Christians from expressing their Biblically-based religious belief that homosexual conduct is a sin.”
The “sole purpose”? How trivial can you get?
A Christian group in Michigan has filed a lawsuit alleging that a package of hate crimes laws named after murder victim Matthew Shepard is an affront to their religious freedom.
Far from the intended purpose of severely punishing criminals who commit unspeakable acts against a persecuted minority group, the religious activists claim the laws are a guarded effort to “eradicate” their beliefs.
Filed by the Thomas More Law Center — which bills itself as the religious answer to the American Civil Liberties Union — the complaint claims that protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people “is an effort to eradicate religious beliefs opposing the homosexual agenda from the marketplace of ideas by demonizing, vilifying, and criminalizing such beliefs as a matter of federal law and policy.”
These hateful sonsabitches are victims? Good lord.
One of the reasons I started this blog was to remind myself how these rotten people operate and manage to infest every corner of society. We don’t want anything to do with them, so it’s easier to just recoil and get out of their way, but they end up running everything. And so perfectly good things get destroyed and the blame lands on you, of course.
Some people may say that they’re merely misguided and probably mean well, somehow, but some people are just wrong. These are not just bad Americans, they’re bad human beings and should be opposed at every step.
Don’t wanna hurt them, or anything, just wouldn’t give them control of anything I cared about.
