    "So that one new voter that you register in your precinct -- think about it -- that one neighbor that you get to the polls on November the 2 I want you to understand, that could be the one that makes the difference. That one conversation, that one new volunteer you recruit, that could be the one that puts this over the top. " ~ Michelle Obama

    I just want to ask why this didn't see much light and yet the Dixie Chicks talking about Bush destroyed their careers. BUT this got very little media coverage....

    I'd love to find the video but TMZ has the rights...... I'll link it.

    Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban so he's staging all of these murders like the Fast and Furious thing down at the boarder and Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple. I was talking to JD our promoter here tonight, what a great guy, I was saying, "I don't know where I'm gonna live if America keeps going the way it's going because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America." And he said, "Move down here to Singapore."

    I love the fact people start booing his ass.... I wonder if Dave has relapsed and is back on drugs and drinking a gallon of booze a day.

    They cheered Hank Williams, Jr. in Iowa last week.
    This follows his comparison of Obama and Hitler during an interview on Fox News last year for which was dumped by ESPN on Monday Night Football. But that didnt stop him from accusing Obama of making “a call to the Koran or Mecca or whatever” for political guidance shortly thereafter.

    This one freaked me out....an elected judge explaining why he needs more funding for the Sheriff's Dept to hire more deputies and more equipment:

    Judge Head said he and the county must be prepared for many contingencies, one that he particularly fears, is if President Obama is reelected.​

    “He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN, and what is going to happen when that happens?,” Head asked.​

    “I'm thinking the worst. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. And we're not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations, we're talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy.​

    "Now what's going to happen if we do that, if the public decides to do that? He's going to send in U.N. troops. I don't want 'em in Lubbock County. OK. So I'm going to stand in front of their armored personnel carrier and say 'you're not coming in here'.​

    "And the sheriff, I've already asked him, I said 'you gonna back me' he said, 'yeah, I'll back you'. Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there. I want trained, equipped, seasoned veteran officers to back me."​

    And you wonder why there has been a significant rise in right wing anti-government extremists groups in the last few years.

    I saw an interview or read an article where the Sheriff this judge talks about states he never had that conversation with the judge. People are just going apeshit crazy over all this. When people talk of "civil war" IF/ or because Obama gets elected, is totally nuts. To me that's trying to scare people to vote the way YOU want them to or to stay home and shut up. I want to know how ANYONE in their right mind can support these idiots. These people talking of civil war and how someone needs to kill Obama, are the same people that are hiding behind the Bible to protect and defend their bigotry and prejudice against gays and everyone else not "like them".

    Yeah. Christ says go out and get all armored up because Obama MAY get re-elected and then... well he'll destroy Christianity and the nation...... Are these people serious? Christ would forgive them for KILLING people who disagree politically with them?????????? Come on now, please tell me that not ALL REPUBLICANS are this fucking nuts......

    BTW FUCK HANK WILLIAMS JR. He's nothing but a drug addicted has been who never was ANYTHING but a shadow of his father.

    A crazy quote from me, just posted as my facebook status:

    The GOP LOVES YOU.... now, let's give the rich a huge tax break, make YOU PAY more ... shut the fuck up and don't bitch we explained how we need to do that to jumpstart the economy. Now be good sheep and hate gays, bomb abortion clinics, call Obama a Muslim, arm yourselves with as much weaponry as possible cause the revolution is a comin'. Just HATE EVERYONE NOT LIKE YOU. Cause we here at BAIN CAPITAL OWNED CLEAR CHANNEL AND FAUX NEWS WHO SPEAK FOR THE GOP LOVE YOU AND WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO PROTECT YOU FROM THOSE COMMIES. What's that? Jesus says in the BIBLE to LOVE your enemy... FUCK that bullshit.... that's commie talk Jesus would NEVER say ANYTHING like that......

    That about right guys? Is that how the GOP wants it to be?

    i find the fact that multiple government agencies are aquiring hundreds of thousands to millions of rounds of ammo more alarming. to keep it in perspective the military uses about 70 million a year in iraq. why does DHS need 750 million rounds of hollow points exactly? D.C. police department: 600,000, the social secuirty administration 170,000 rounds (what the actual fuck?). national oceanic and atmospheric administration: 46,000 rounds. we are talking hollow points too, these aren't even allowed during WAR per geneva conventions.Military in Iraq Used 70M Rounds of Ammo Annually: DHS Ordered 750M Rounds in One Month

    why is the government arming itself to the teeth domestically yet gets upset at people that hoard ammo or judges who are concerned about the possibility of an out of conrol federal government.

    I think the issue is a creeping police state vis-à-vis the GWOT. American conservatives are still clinging to this ridiculous idea that socialism is a threat to America, when it's socialism that's been providing stability (through compromises between socialism and capitalism, and well before Obama came along) and it's fascism they need to worry about.

    Having a baby out of wedlock is similar to rape?

    The Tea Party candidate for Senate in Pa is just now sure...no, no, no, but...yes; it is similar

    "[...] female breastmilk — when fed directly to an adult homosexual male daily for at least four weeks — has a 94% chance of permanently curing homosexual perversions. [...] Lesbians can be cured by drinking something else. I'll leave that one to your imagination."
    –Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin​

    Todd Akin Claims Breastmilk Cures Homosexuality | The Daily Currant

    My guess to the cure for lesbians is "male breastmilk" as opposed to the "female breastmilk." My second guess is "male sperm."

    These amuse me to such a high degree that I throw them in the faces of my largely republican family members. They have no return when I do that and some have already started to second guess their before now "locked in" vote for Romney etc.

    They'll still vote republican in the end though I'm sure, but at least I got them to second guess themselves and at least look at who's running instead of blindly following party tickets.

    carry on..

    Now this is funny and it is going viral, but the real outrage is Christian counseling clinics like the one operated by Michelle Bachmann's husband using taxpayer money to practice "reparative" therapies, which cast homosexuality as a mental disorder and see conversion to heterosexuality as the only healthy outcome.

    Aw, geez. I must still be exhausted. I just realized this is satire.

    The lines between reality and satire are blurring.

    What does it all mean?
