The Genius of the Conservative Mind

September 29, 2011 By mario piperni

And this is exactly why you can never have too many Republicans in Congress. These people are mind-blowing geniuses!

“My bill is very simple, I just null and void any regulations passed in the last 20 years. I picked 20 years ago because it crossed party lines and also we were prosperous at that time. And no new regulations until they can justify them.”

The proposed bill to eliminate all federal regulations from the last 20 years is the brainchild of Alaska Rep. Don Young. Do ideas get any better than this? Regulations, after all, are only laws which make federal bills enforceable (see definition below). It’s not as if they’re really, really necessary.

Federal regulations are the actual enforceable laws authorized by major legislation enacted by Congress. The Clean Air Act, the Food and Drug Act, the Civil Rights Act are all examples of landmark legislation requiring months, even years of highly publicized planning, debate, compromise and reconciliation in Congress. Yet the work of creating the vast and ever-growing volumes of federal regulations, the real laws behind the acts, happens largely unnoticed in the offices of the government agencies rather than the halls of Congress.

A lttle bacteria in your drinking water? Lead in your paint? Asbestos in your insulation? Meh, no big deal…better your freedom than your health.

I question why Mr. Young would propose to only go back 20 years. In the true spirit of Tea Partyism, may I suggest that Congress think big and consider nullifying and voiding every regulation passed in the last 230 years. That would take the country back to 1780 and give present day legislators a clean slate from which to work and allow them to proceed in a manner that would make any 18th century patriot truly proud. If that doesn’t put a smile on the face of every ~~brain dead Republican moron~~…sorry, I meant freedom-loving, tea-guzzling American, nothing will.

Sadly though, liberals still fail to understand the underlying genius present in conservative minds. The following was written by a liberal dumbass who obviously still doesn’t get it.

Is there any sentient creature dumber than a Republican???

(a few, but not many).

The Insanity of Andrew Breitbart

September 19, 2011 By mario piperni

“You take the blue pill – the story ends,
you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland
and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”
~Morpheus [The Matrix]

Andrew Breibart addressed a Tea Party group last week and had this to say.

“I’m under attack all the time. The call me gay. There are death threats… There are times when I’m not thinking as clearly as I should, and in those unclear moments, I always think to myself, ‘Fire the first shot. Bring it on.’ Because I know who’s on our side.”

“They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in this country and we have the guns… I’m not kidding. They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they’re dealing with. ”

A fine example of the dangerous and irresponsible dribble, and nonsense which Obama and Dems have been dealing with for the last three years. These people are clearly unhinged.

The most frightening part of the right’s complete immersion into their delusional world of crazy, is knowing that there is no rational way to address insanity of this magnitude. The right has chosen the blue pill.

Spiritual Warfare in American Politics

August 24, 2011 By mario piperni

As if you needed more reason to be wary of the right-wing’s obsession with religion and in particular presidential aspirants like Rick Perry.

An emerging Christian movement that seeks to take dominion over politics, business and culture in preparation for the end times and the return of Jesus, is becoming more of a presence in American politics. The leaders are considered apostles and prophets, gifted by God for this role.

The international “apostolic and prophetic” movement has been dubbed by its leading American architect, C. Peter Wagner, as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Although the movement is larger than the network organized by Wagner — and not all members describe themselves as part of Wagner’s NAR — the so-called apostles and prophets of the movement have identifiable ideology that separates them from other evangelicals.

Two ministries in the movement planned and orchestrated Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s recent prayer rally, where apostles and prophets from around the nation spoke or appeared onstage.

[...]

Thomas Muthee, the Kenyan pastor who anointed Sarah Palin at the Wasilla Assembly of God Church in 2005, while praying for Jesus to protect her from the spirit of witchcraft, is also part of this movement.

[...]

Tabachnick says the movement currently works with a variety of politicians and has a presence in all 50 states. It also has very strong opinions about the direction it wants the country to take. For the past several years, she says, the NAR has run a campaign to reclaim what it calls the “seven mountains of culture” from demonic influence. The “mountains” are arts and entertainment; business; family; government; media; religion; and education.

Do read the full article. It’s downright frightening.

Rachel Tabachnick is an expert on the religious right’s influence on politics. Here is how she describes the NAR.

“[Their issues are] anti-abortion, anti-gay rights — but they also have … the belief that government should not be involved in social safety nets, that the country is becoming socialist, if not communist … — all of what we’ve come to call ‘Tea Party issues’ of very small government. In the case of the apostles, they believe this because they believe that a large government that handles the safety net is taking away what is the domain of the church and of Christianity.”

Sounds to me like Tabachnick has just described a major part of the GOP platform. If Republicans take power next year, look for an assault on those “seven mountains of culture” unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. These people are determined to take Americans as far back into the Dark Ages as they possibly can.

Idiot Quote Of The Day

December 20, 2010 By mario piperni

There exists the ignorant and the stupid, as well as fools, imbeciles and bottom-dwelling scum…and then there is Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association.

“The armies of other nations have allowed gays to serve openly in the military. The reason they could afford to do this is simple: they could allow homosexuals to serve in their military because we didn’t allow them to serve in ours. … Those days are now gone. We will no longer be able to bail out these other emasculated armies because ours will now be feminized and neutered beyond repair, and there is no one left to bail us out. We have been permanently weakened as a military and as a nation by these misguided and treasonous Republican senators, and the world is now a more dangerous place for us all.”

No point debating bigots like Fischer. I can’t imagine anything anyone might offer which could possibly help this guy retract his head from his ass. Referring to the Israeli army as “emasculated” is a sure sign that the insertion is in deep.

Call out this fool’s homophobia and idiocy, pat him on the tush and move on.

Conservative “Payback” and Dancing With The Stars

November 23, 2010 By mario piperni

Anyone who has been watching the U.S. political scene over the last while is quite aware that the process has turned into a circus act with the GOP leadership in Congress playing the role of ringmaster. The result has been one huge screwing of the poor, the unemployed, the uninsured, the middle class, the environment, immigrants and the economy…basically a royal screwing of the entire nation. As bizarre as it all was during the Bush years, it is nothing compared to the madness of the last two years. The election of a black liberal President has truly sent the right over the edge.

Here’s the latest bit of insanity.

With just one more night of competition to go before we find out if Bristol Palin wins the hideous-yet-coveted Mirror Ball Trophy, the executive producer of “Dancing with the Stars” insists the show’s security system is catching and expunging all those votes for her that are being cast by people using bogus e-mail addresses to game the voting system.

…a conservative blogger who’s taking credit for the e-mail voting shenanigans, says he orchestrated the whole thing to pay back Democrats for years of voter fraud at the polls.

And Bristol’s mom, Sarah, last week tried to capitalize on the size of her daughter’s audience to boost ratings for her own, far less popular reality series, TLC’s “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”

Amazing. It is only proper that Sarah Palin and her own personal collection of clowns and loons take center stage alongside an unprecedented fine collection of wingnuts. We live in interesting times no doubt.
