  • To quote VP Joe Biden, “This is a big f**in deal.”  Lovable old Hairplugs Joe was of course referring to the successful passage of health insurance reform. I am referring to the shameful, dangerous behavior of the overly televised Teabaggers.

    Stupid does as stupid is.  In a recent poll, 25% said they believe Pres. Obama is the anti-christ.  40% think he’s a socialist.  It’s not clear what percentage of that 40% know what a socialist is.  20% believe Pres. Obama is doing many of the things Hitler did. 38% percent think he wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns.  A big percentage thinks he wants to take away their fishing licenses.  And the majority of them get their feelings hurt if you call them stupid.

    My galpal says do not call them stupid. 

    “But what if they are?” I ask.

    She says it’s not stupidity, it’s class. 

    I think it’s racism tarted up as class. 

    Just look at the pictures. Watch CSPAN. The Party of Hell No is the White Party.  The Other White Meat.  When the Republiban had their Evita moment and held up “Kill the Bill” signs from an outdoor balcony, they goaded their goons on the ground into race-baiting behavior. House members had to walk a racist, homophobic gauntlet to vote on healthcare. After the vote, Representatives received death threats, rocks through their windows, faxed nooses. Sarah Palin, that i.e.d of demagoguery, put a map on her website with bull’s eyes over Representatives who voted for health care reform.

    The only response to hate speech is more speech. Once again, silence equals death.  Ask, tell, scream, yell.  This is a big f**in deal.

WElLL Hello USA, over here we was pleased & think is the best thing the ppl have done... now who is the MAN.. we arrived in Austrailia in 1971 from the UK & have loved it here.

Can't imagine having ppl running around with guns, Not that l think you don't have a great country but why so many guns??

Pres Obama is a brave man as i think Jullia Gillard is a strong woman, but bill have to be paied & worker need to be secure..So we need to give them the best chance they can have.

 i think the labour party over here will use Ms Gillard as a scapgoat but ppl are getting wiser to whats is right for our country & the world best interest...

Now i would like to know how a country as storng & as big as yours don't do more for the homeless & mentaley sick i would think by taking care of them would create jobs & help your recovery

So my point is TIMES are changing & that can only be good as at the end of the day we all want the same things peace, love & family I thank god for mine.

One more point i don't get how we make movie stars more powfull, richer than a small country it still amazed me why so much money for there charmed life  ..

I love the USA  & probley have no right to say it but wtf cheers for now hope to write again soon DtD & love you Oprah pay it forward

I didn't think I'd ever live to witness a time when guns/the right to keep and bear arms would be placed above health care, the biggest recesssion since the great depression and the need for swift and significant Wall Street reform on the hierarchy of critical issues.

And to witness an entire well-established, respected party behaving like spoiled children is just downright scary!

I call them teahaggers. I can not believe that a country supposedly based on rights and we have idiots like them in it. They want to turn the clock back to the 1950's and have us all behave" properly".

Be grateful you don't live in Tennessee.  Our pols voted for a 2nd time (1st time a court overturned it) to allow guns in bars.  But it's unlawful to take a gun into the statehouse.  I am as confused about this as I am that some people view Palin as a serious presidential candidate.  Are these signs of the apocalypse?
