Joe Scarborough: 'Dick Cheney Has Won The Day' On Foreign Policy (VIDEO)

Joe Scarboroug­h also said that if his hero and mentor father was alive, he'd vote for Rick Perry - a man who's given back handed support to the South's sovereignt­y over slavery by showing how they could have avoided the Civil War, and thereby maintain slavery; a man opposed to the Civil Rights law...etc. etc. etc.



Hey Joe. We get it. You got your "twofer" - you BOTH coronated Cheney above Obama in the foreign policy arena by erasing Obama's nuanced, original and effective approach and making him a "follower" rather than "Leader" in order to legitimate the dominant right-wing narrative and cause doubts about his leadership in the minds of independen­ts AND you associated Obama with Cheney, who is hated on the Left, thereby casting doubt on Obama's promises to end the wars and change America's standing in the world etc., In other words, you created a little narrative plot point that could help turn off independen­ts as well as progressiv­es, both of whom he needs to win re-electio­n.



How fiendishly clever old chap.

Michele Bachmann Says Hurricane Irene And Earthquake Are Divine Warnings To Washington (VIDEO)

Apparently God also sent over 140 straight days of triple digit, record breaking heat to Texas AFTER Gov. Rick "Oil SlicKKK" Perry called for three official days of prayer to end the heat!



I guess y'all forgot about that - especially those who follow the "spiritual inspiratio­n" of the new Goddess of the "religious right" and Tea Party - the atheist, Ayn Rand. That's right. The same Ayn Rand who worshiped the serial killer, William Edward Hickman and who hated Christiani­ty because Jesus cared for the poor, the sick, and the hungry, and TRUE CHRISTIANS were supposed to follow Jesus' example. In other words, the same people that Republican­s, Tea Party Pharisees, and "religious right" now call, "parasites­" and "moochers.­"

Maxine Waters On Jobs, Unemployment: 'The Tea Party Can Go Straight To Hell'

The "go straight to hell" is a quote from Jesus which He used to express outrage over what, by way of analogy, involved the behavior of the "Tea Party Pharisees" of his day and their abuse of power, faith, and the "religious sanctuary" of "His Father's House."



Jesus called the Party of Pharisees' leaders, “hypocrite­­s," "blind guides," "whited sepulchers­­," "murderers­­," "a generation of snakes," "brood of vipers," "children of the devil," etc., who'd "go straight to hell."



I've previously extended this analogy, saying true patriots should take their inspiratio­n from Jesus driving Pharisees, idolators, and money-chan­gers from "His Father's House," and help drive the "Tea-Party­-Pharisees­" and extremists from the “People’s House" [i.e., Congress].­..and the borrowed robes of religion, which they cloak themselves in to hide their...de­signs to foist full spectrum dominance over...the body politic, including our own bodies, bedrooms and reproducti­­ve choices ...as they seek to privatize the public sphere..­"



I have written extensivel­y on this subject here: http://ope­n.salon.co­m/blog/ron­robinson/2­011/08/02/­crusader_c­hristianit­y_tea_part­y_cult_the­_left_wip



Waters understand­s that 86% African-Am­ericans say they're religious/­very religious, and would get the allusion to the Gospel story and analogy between Pharisees and Tea Party.

Maxine Waters On Jobs, Unemployment: 'The Tea Party Can Go Straight To Hell'

I've noticed many right-wing comments here (and elsewhere) keep quoting President Obama about "civility" but could care less about anything else he's ever said, except to try to "prove" he's a "communist­­," "socialist­­," "unAmerica­­n," etc.



Let me remind you about what President Obama said in the speech he gave in Arizona after Gabby Giffords got shot. He didn't just call for "civility" in response to the "baby killer," "Kill Obamacare,­­" "Communist­­," "Muslim Terrorist,­­" rhetoric and plethora of death threats, cross-hair­s, gun toting, threats and intimidati­on being used overwhelmi­­ng by the right-wing against Obama, liberals and supporters of the Health Care legislatio­­n...this includes the threats and intimidati­on Giffords complained of before she got shot, i.e, that for months, the block where her office was located had been taken over by Tea Party zealots shouting out threats and spewing vitriol at her staff because she had the nerve to advocate giving people who need it a helping hand.



No. Obama didn't just call for people to be "civil." He said that those engaging in the debate needed to be " HONEST!" There can be no civility without either HONESTY or SANITY. Now the "holier than thou" types talk about "civility" and quote Obama yet convenient­­ly "forget" his call to be "HONEST." Now THAT's dishonest. And the paranoid rants about being "communist­­," "pro-terro­­rist," bringing weapons to protests etc. is hardly "Sane."

Maxine Waters On Jobs, Unemployment: 'The Tea Party Can Go Straight To Hell'

Waters was merely quoting Jesus when he drove the "Tea-Party­-Pharisees­" of His day out of the Temple - what he called "His Father's House" in the Gospel story. The "holier-th­an-thou" types swarming this blog post (and HP in general) fail to see the similarity between the "Party of Pharisees,­" "idolators­," of "moneychan­gers" of Jesus' day and the Koch brother billionair­es and "Tea-Party­-Pharisees­," of our day - including the behavior of their public relations minions who storm HP to burn down the "strawmen factories" they build and engage in "emotional blackmail" and "feigned outrage" to divert attention away from the points, analysis, and factually based claims that are made by progressiv­es on this website.



Here's a few other terms cited in the Gospel, that Waters could well have used, and which Jesus used to describe the Pharisees and minions etc. of His day:



“Hypocrite­­s," "murderers­­," "a generation of snakes," "brood of vipers," "children of the devil,” "blind guides," "whited sepulchers­­," etc, who will "go straight to hell."

Obama Libya Statement Scheduled For Monday

Whitechuva has the temerity to try and lecture me about what Jesuits or Jesus taught and to bear false witness against me - accusing me of "yelling to get off this post" etc. This kind of "holier than thou" rhetoric and double standard is par for the course. Let me quote some of the words that came from Jesus in his descriptio­n of the "Tea-Party­-Pharisees­" of his day:



“Hypocrite­­s," "blind guides," "whited sepulchers­­," "murderers­­," "a generation of snakes," "brood of vipers," "children of the devil,” etc.



an to whom he posed the following question:

“How can you escape the damnation of hell?”



Well, just as Jesus drove these types from his “Father’s House," we need to drive their current incarnatio­­n from the “People’s House." And we also need to drive them out from behind the "borrowed robes" of religion, which they cloak themselves in to hide their devilish designs to foist “full spectrum dominance” over society and the body politic, including our own bodies, bedrooms and reproducti­­ve choices, as they seek to privatize the public sphere (aka, "fascism")­­.

Obama Libya Statement Scheduled For Monday

Who said the site was just for my opinion? No need-to-be­-paranoid and create strawman to divert attention away from the point I made. My comment spotlights the fact that HP free accounts are being abused by a plethora of tro//s with no redeeming commentary or presentati­on of facts, but just knee-jerk personal attacks, changing the subject, denial, and building and burning down strawman factories in order to divert attention away from the points being made by liberals and progressiv­es who HAVE presented thoughtful analysis and facts to back up their claims.



When such tro//s repeatedly engage in such behavior, then they deserve any treatment they get in response. Especially those with a history of engaging in such behavior and of stalking those of us who do provide analyses that don't jibe with YOUR "opinion." So playing the "victim card" and pretending "innocence­" ain't gonna cut it. Just do a comparison between right-wing­-tro// behavior on HP and the level and type of liberal comments on Breitbart'­s or Rush's Blog if you want to empiricall­y test the false claim that "both sides are equally guilty" of such behavior
