I’m sending a donation to the Tea Baggers today..

There’s a civil war a coming between the Tea Party and Karl Rove and I’m rooting for the baggers....
You gotta love this shit.. ........Taken from Think Progress article.....


Like a cornered animal, many Tea Partiers are wildly lashing back. On Thursday, FreedomWorks emailed their list accusing Rove of “working in tandem” with President Obama “to silence grassroots conservatives in the freedom movement.” Rep. Steve King (R-IA) also emailed supporters to declare that “Nobody can bully me out of running for the U.S. Senate, not even Karl Rove and his hefty war chest.” Citizens United president David Bossie simply offered, “The civil war has begun.”


Let the fucking games begin...

This a good time to bring this up...

Since 911 this country has been run by fear. The military industrial complex in my opinion,.has taken advantage of war on terror, to the point that they don’t feel they have to answer to anyone in the country.
In some respects I feel this also applies to the POTUS. It is very difficult for a president to defy military
wants...

It also bothers me that local law enforcement has piggy banked on the “Hero” image to the point that it has become ridiculous . These guys feel they don’t have to answer to the public...because of the “constant terrorist threats” Watch a small city council at work and notice how the council city managers give into any demand the police captain desires.

Not saying that these are not brave and honorable men and women.... but enough of the 24hr “ thank you for your service" stuff....

So Obama eliminates the Drone Program....and months later there is a vicious attack on

americans, here or abroad......Obama would immediately be put in a Lame duck situation, Republicans would probably have huge success in the next elections, followed by a republican presidency. Based on what we have experience with this type of role out, how many more kids and civilians around the world would end up dead? Im not willing to take that chance..

Republicans bad....going to pathetic.

I need to start gearing personally to the 2014 Elections.

Questions to all....Are there any republican districts in the house which we should be focusing on? Ones which we should be contributing to down line??

I love stories like this.

From Daily Kos.......Here we go again ...
Perry has launched a high-profile battle for California companies, running radio ads in California touting the Lone Star State's low taxes and favorable business climate. The ads will be heard in San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego and the Inland Empire area east of Los Angeles.
"Building a business is tough, but I hear building a business in California is next to impossible. This is Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and I have a message for California businesses: Come check out Texas," starts the 30-second spot.

Perry hears that building a business in California is next to impossible? The same California that has more Fortune 500 businesses than any other state? The same California that has given us Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Intel, Disney, DirecTV, Amgen, Clorox, eBay, Visa, Mattel, HP, Gap, and even Chevron? (How's that for a diversified economy?) Man, how did all those companies build their businesses when it was impossible to do so?
Perhaps Rick Perry heard wrong.

As I noted last week, conservatives have a ton vested in the fiction that California businesses are fleeing to Texas in massive numbers. The reality is that California had 254 businesses leave the state in 2011, only about three dozen to Texas. At the same time, California entrepreneurs started about 167,000 new businesses. So you can imagine, the Golden State isn't exactly trembling with fear.

California leads the nation in job creation because it is the world center for both entertainment and technology. Even foreign corporations, like Samsung, house their R&D in Silicon Valley for obvious reasons—this is where the talent and venture money lives. And yes, the things that make California awesome (like infrastructure, education, entertainment) cost money. But we appreciate those things, which is why we voted ourselves tax increases.

I can give Beck at least 10 fathers I know,who could kick his sleazy ass and are worried..........

about their kids playing football!

Beck was referring to remarks Obama made in an interview with “The New Republic” in which he said that, given the rise in concerns about head trauma in football players, he would have to think “long and hard” about letting his own son, if he had one, play football. Obama echoed that statement in an interview with Scott Pelley of CBS on Sunday.

Beck played back sections of the Pelley interview, interjecting the word “girl” and phrases like “He’s a girl!” while the president spoke, then shifted his voice up to a soprano register. At the end of the CBS interview, he lit into Obama with a full barrage of schoolyard taunts.


“His man card has been revoked by me, and that’s saying something” Beck said. “When I’m saying you’re a girl, you are absolutely 100 percent girl power.”

He went on to criticize Obama’s tendency to give lengthy “philosophical” answers to questions, “like a little spider weaving a little web,” which Beck held up as further evidence of the president’s unmanliness.

“You’re a full-fledged woman. I never heard anybody but a woman say that,” he continued. “Stop being such a chick, Mr. President. Stop it. You’re commander-in-chief. Not chick-in-chief.”

Will people quit attacking Beyonce and her performance last night.

It’s whats going on in the pop culture today and thats what the producers wanted and thats what they got..
I’m an old rocker and am not crazy about that kind of stuff, but I don’t think old rock groups do especially well either at that venue.

I remember when the Beatles came out and my father who was a teacher/ music lover, said that the Beatles would never last!!!

All you old guys are starting to sound like my dad....

By the way, Beyonce is great at what she does and definitely is very talented..
