Every time the Tea Party takes a stand on just about anything it shows how dependent they and many on the Right Wing [Republicans] are on the uneducated and uninformed populace of this country. Why so many would not take the time to educate themselves on critical issues is beyond me. If they see or hear it on Fake News, it has to be true. To depend on the likes of Palin, Limbaugh and Hannity for your best interests without seeking out opposing views is beyond belief, when most of what they preach is detrimental to the majority of the country and only serves the wealthy to condense power even further into the hands of large muti-national corporations and further erode the middle class in both wealth and size. They will not be happy until they control everything and everyone. Please take the time to seek information on everything that affects the lives of you and everyone you love. The right wing propaganda machine depends on your being distracted from the real issues that affect all of us. Take the time to view the concentration of wealth in the top few percent of the population since Reagan and you need look no further. And they want more Tax Cuts for the wealthy? Have they no shame? They claim it is their money, without mentioning how it was shifted away from the middle and lower class with salary and benefit reductions. Now they don't want to be taxed on it. Shameless thieves, in my opinion.

It's funny. My ex-husband was here recently. He is a screaming liberal and only watches MSNBC. While talking to him about current events, he knew nothing of some of the names of people behind some of the bigger recent news stories.
I had to tell him who some of these people were.
You certainly can say the same thing about MSNBC, a station that makes no excuses or attempt to hide the slant and favor toward the left.
"Have they no shame?"
NONE whatsoever. McChinless the leader of the pack even less than non.
No wonder that caseyboy's husband left her. She's a screaming insulting butch. Not one intelligent bone in her bod. Must have been fighting over the remote who got to watch Fake News eh? And you blabbering the tall tales of Fake News to your then HB. LOL
I would like to exchange links with your site conservativesarecommunistss.blogspot.com
Is this possible?
"Screaming, insulting Bitch"...I like that!
Okay, stupid, your assumptions are WAY off the mark. If my husband left me, why is he visiting me? Oh yeah, he visits. Truth is, I HATE marriage and was never meant to be married. I like my independence and will never marry again. Like men, just don't want to be tethered to one.
AND I used to be a liberal!
Not one intelligent bone in my body? At least I can back up my opinions with FACT---which is more than what you even attempt to do.
I havent been on this blog for about a week. The only reason that you even addressed me is because you thought that I was gone. You are such wimp that you never address me head on. You make your nasty hateful remarks and then you ignore the response.
But you got to take your pathetic little swipe at me---do you feel better now?

"The Billionaires Bankrolling the Tea Party"
Excerpts:
"There’s just one element missing from these snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless populist uprising: the sugar daddies who are bankrolling it, and have been doing so since well before the “death panel” warm-up acts of last summer. Three heavy hitters rule. You’ve heard of one of them, Rupert Murdoch. The other two, the brothers David and Charles Koch, are even richer, with a combined wealth exceeded only by that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett among Americans. But even those carrying the Kochs’ banner may not know who these brothers are.
Their self-interested and at times radical agendas, like Murdoch’s, go well beyond, and sometimes counter to, the interests of those who serve as spear carriers in the political pageants hawked on Fox News. The country will be in for quite a ride should these potentates gain power, and given the recession-battered electorate’s unchecked anger and the Obama White House’s unfocused political strategy, they might.
All three tycoons are the latest incarnation of what the historian Kim Phillips-Fein labeled “Invisible Hands” in her prescient 2009 book of that title: those corporate players who have financed the far right ever since the du Pont brothers spawned the American Liberty League in 1934 to bring down F.D.R."
"The Koch brothers must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing that working Americans are aiding and abetting their selfish interests. And surely Murdoch is snickering at those protesting the “ground zero mosque.” Last week on “Fox and Friends,” the Bush administration flacks Dan Senor and Dana Perino attacked a supposedly terrorism-tainted Saudi prince whose foundation might contribute to the Islamic center. But as “The Daily Show” keeps pointing out, these Fox bloviators never acknowledge that the evil prince they’re bashing, Walid bin Talal, is not only the biggest non-Murdoch shareholder in Fox News’s parent company (he owns 7 percent of News Corporation) and the recipient of Murdoch mammoth investments in Saudi Arabia but also the subject of lionization elsewhere on Fox."

"It's hard to ignore the fact that Jesus chose to be born poor; he worked as what many scholars now say was not simply a carpenter, but what could be called a day laborer; he spent his days and nights with the poor; he and his disciples lived with few if any possessions; he advocated tirelessly for the poor in a time when poverty was considered to be a curse; he consistently placed the poor in his parables over and above the rich; and he died an utterly poor man, with only a single seamless garment to his name. Jesus lived and died as a poor man. Why is this so hard for modern-day Christians to see? Liberation theology is not Marxism disguised as religion. It is Christianity presented in all its disturbing fullness.
Glenn Beck's opposition to "social justice" and "liberation theology" is all the more difficult to understand because of his cloaking of himself in the mantle of devout believer. "Look to God and make your choice," he said during his rally on Sunday.
If he looked at Jesus more carefully he would see someone who already made a choice: for the poor."
Guess that Glenn Beck should go to Glennbeckistan, wherever one imagines where that may be. Hypocrite. LOL
Maybe you should find out what Liberation Theology actually is before you speak up for it. you do this time and time again, Anon2 and I would think that you would have learned by now.
You know NOTHING about this line of thought. NOTHING.
Okay, Miss little follower of Jesus, Anon2...You show me 1 verse in the Bible where Jesus teaches that it is the job of the government to give to the poor. show me 1. Show me where He says that it is the obligation of the government to take from the wealthy to give to the poor---or redistribute wealth. Show me ANYWHERE where it says that our individual salvation is dependent upon the collective salvation. I figured since you know SO MUCH about this subject, maybe you could defend it? (yeah, right, like that's gonna happen)
