Lying Sacks of S*** of The Week: “Christian” Pregnancy Centers
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/lying-sacks-of-s-of-the-week-christian-pregnancy-centers/Snip:
"What Would Jesus Lie About? The answer would appear to be just about everything, if a woman goes into a taxpayer-funded Crisis Pregnancy Center and asks a question:
When a woman walked into a state-funded crisis pregnancy center in Manassas, Va., this summer and told the counselor she might be pregnant, she was told that condoms dont actually prevent STDs and that birth control frequently causes hair loss, memory loss, headaches, weight gain, fatal blood clots and breast cancer.

FreedomWorks Wants ObamaCare to Fail, so they can Make Money for Themselves.
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/freedomworks-wants-obamacare-to-fail-so-they-can-make-money-for-themselves/Snip:
"FreedomWorks, a Conservative Republican organization, is not working for freedom - not for your freedom, anyway. They are funded by industry groups, and their mission is to remove the last teensy shreds of regulation from the marketplace so they can mulct the last coppers from our pockets.
Their latest stunt: to have people refuse to buy health insurance, and to burn fake ObamaCare cards as a protest. Really. That is what they are promoting. Yes, they want you to risk death or bankruptcy and look like an ignorant fool. Gentle Reader, does this sound like an organization with your best interests at heart?
Of course not. The next question is whose interests are they advancing? And the response to that, is, of course, their own. For example, they have made money by selling near-worthless health insurance products in the past."

Since Rick Perry, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn don’t care about Texas, Obama does their Job for Them
http://bluntandcranky.a.com/2013/08/05/since-rick-perry-ted-cruz-and-john-cornyn-sg-care-about-texas-obama-does-their-job-for-them/Snips:
"Since Obama isnt beholden to these industries, he is free to act: first, he told the regulatory agencies to, well, regulate for a frickin change; and he also put the smack on FEMA, making them give West disaster relief.
So, yay for the Prexy and all that. He has done good work here. The real question is: why wont the Republican public servants that Texas keeps electing do that good work themselves?"
