Pat Buchanan

  I am no fan of Pat Buchanan. 

“Patrick Joseph "Pat" Buchanan ( /bjuːˈkænɨn/; born November 2, 1938) is an American paleoconservativepolitical commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster. Buchanan was a senior advisor to American Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, and was an original host onCNN's Crossfire. He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996. He ran on the Reform Party ticket in the 2000 presidential election.

He co-founded The American Conservative magazine and launched a foundation named The American Cause.^[1] He has been published in Human Events, National Review, The Nation and Rolling Stone. He was a political commentator on the MSNBC cable network, including the show Morning Joe until he was indefinitely suspended during early January 2012 and fired the following month. Buchanan is also a regular on The McLaughlin Group…”

 

  I do watch “The McLaughlin Group” each week and have been for years.  I enjoy his point of view on the show.  I often do not agree with him but I enjoy getting his views.
  He got fired from MSNBC because of the content of a book that he wrote.  I do think he is anti-Jewish and racist but that is not the reason to fire someone.
  He is crying and carrying  on about being blacklisted and how the left is trying to prevent his point of view. 
  Well the right started the blacklisting of anyone they do not like.  They been trying to blacklist gay people and get them off of TV for years.  They try to attack everyone they do not agree with and get them off of TV.  Now the left has started trying to do the same thing and their first real “victim” is Pat Buchanan. 

  I can not feel sorry for him because I am sure he would have been first in line to ban Anita Bryant from doing Florida orange juice commercials.  And that was in 1979.  That is how long the right has been attacking people that they do not agree with and trying to blacklist them. 
  The right was also the people behind the Hollywood blacklist and that was in the 1950s!

 
  I think Pat Buchanan should be on the air.  His positions should be heard and discussed. 
Not matter what your views there should be a place for them to be discussed.
  The right does not agree with that at all…  Now it looks like some of the left is taking the same position.  
  A free exchange of ideas is good for America.

Is Santorum Gay?

The poor Republicans

  The poor Republicans.  They have got to be pissed.  The economy is bad and has been in pretty bad shape (thanks to the GOP and President Bush) and it looked like President Obama could be beat in the 2012 election.
  But now the economy is looking better.  That was Republican issue.  They were going to hammer President Obama on the economy and they had a good chance to win.
  Now President Obama is going to hammer them on that issue.  He is going to say that things are getting better and that the Republicans will stop the improvement and go back to the old economy.
   Do not get me wrong.. The economy has a lot of problems and a lot of people are hurting.  The GOP and President Bush did a number on us all.  There are lots of problems that we have not fixed yet and lots of bad things that can happen.  The system is broken.  The Republicans raped us all and raped the “free market” and put us all at great risk.
  But right now it looks like a slow improvement is happening.

  The poor Republicans should have gone on with their march to beat President Obama with the idea that they could do better with the economy because they are the business party.  They should have gone ahead with the point that they got a guy that has been a businessman and he knows how the system works.  They they could just hope that bad things happen before the 2012 election.  They could hope for problems with the EU or that gas prices skyrocket or that something happens.  They might have gotten lucky and they might have beaten President Obama.

  But the Tea Party people and the hard right have driven the Republican Party to the crazy right.  The issues they want to fight now are on birth control, working women, gays and abortion.
  The Republicans gave up on trying to get any black voters a long time ago. 
  The Republicans has made some attempts at getting Spanish speaking voters.
  But now it looks like the Republican Party is ready to turn away ALL women voters.
 

  That is the election. 

  I said from the first that Rick Santorum was a real first class loser but My God I had no idea just how stupid and out of touch with the world he is…  He has been talking non-stop about gays.  All he was talking about was gay stuff… That leads me to think that he is a gay.  
  Now he is talking about birth control!   Birth Control!  Hell, 99% of CATHOLIC woman use birth control and he is talking about birth control being a sin and wrong and that people should not use birth control.  He should not be running for President of the United States.  He should be running for Pope.

Rick Santorum’s tax returns

“WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum released four years of federal income tax returns on Wednesday night, showing a sharp rise in his personal wealth spurred by his growing work as Washington-based corporate consultant and media commentator.

Santorum's returns show that his federal income taxes rose from 2007, when he paid $167,000, to $310,000 in 2009, then dropped to $263,000 in 2010. During that same period, his annual income surged from nearly $660,000 in 2007 to $1.1 million in 2009 before slipping to $923,000 in 2010…”

 

  This comes as no surprise and of course he did not do anything that the other crooks have been doing.  He was in Congress for a few years.   He got defeated big time and was no longer in Congress and then for the next four years he made big bucks because of his contacts.
  Like I said.. they all do it.  Democrats and Republicans fuck us over all the time.
  But we know that Rick Santorum is no different than all the rest and he is no golden boy or saint.  He is just like all the others.  No better.
  It is interesting to see that our lobbyist laws do not work.  Santorum was doing lobbying of Congress but like many others he did not register as a lobbyist.

  I am not sure if there is one honest person in Congress. 

Republicans not interested in cutting spending

  The Republicans act like they want to cut spending.  Well they do want to cut spending on social programs or on programs that help working people.  
  But they never want to cut spending on certain items.
  There is a program called the Federal Flight Deck Officer Program (FFDO).  It lets pilots be armed.  The Republicans passed it and they loved the idea of having pilots with guns.  Of course we know of at least one case where one of their armed pilots had his gun go off by accident.  Thank God no one was hit and the aircraft was not hit in a spot that would crash it.   We also know of many causes of pilots trying to get on an aircraft to fly and they were drunk.
  Well anyway… the FFDO program cost us tax payers $25 million.  Just to let some macho pilot with a small penis feel like a cop. 
  In the the President’s budget he wants to cut the $25 million for the FFDO program to $12 million for 2013. 
  Oh my God the Republicans are crying and sobbing and screaming.   They do not not want one cent cut from the FFDO program.
  The Republicans do want to do away with the TSA that screens passengers and that also found those drunk pilots.  The Republicans want to replace the TSA employees with contact guards.  

  Republicans are so full of shit on every issue.

Skin cancer drug reverses Alzheimer’s in mice

“(CNN) -- Scientists say they "serendipitously" discovered that a drug used to treat a type of cancer quickly reversed Alzheimer's disease in mice.

"It's really exciting," said Maria Carrillo, senior director for medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association. "They saw very positive and robust behavior effects in the mice."

In the study, researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine gave mice mega-doses of bexarotene, a drug used to treat a type of skin cancer called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Within 72 hours, the mice showed dramatic improvements in memory and more than 50% of amyloid plaque -- a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease -- had been removed from the brain.

The study was published Thursday in the journal Science.

Gary Landreth, the lead researcher at Case Western, cautioned that even though his results were impressive in mice, it may turn out not to work in people…”

 

  It is early but let us all hope that this turns out to be the answer to Alzheimer’s disease.  My mother had Alzheimer’s and died from it.  I have seen a lot of patients with it.  It is hard on the family of the patients.
  I would hate for my family to have to suffer because I had it.
  We were very lucky with my mother she was not a big problem.  Also my daughter Hilary moved in with her and took care of it.  So my mother could stay in her own home and that helped out a great deal.   But like I said we were very lucky.  
   I worked hospital security for 30 years and a lot of times Alzheimer’s end up in the ER or as patients in the hospital and it was hard for all the staff.  Everyone had problems with the poor patients.  I do not want my family to have to deal with me if I get it.

   I am not sure what the Republican Party’s position on the government spending money for medical research is ….  I hope they do not want to leave it to private corporations…  They want the FAA and the weather service to be private corporations.   They want the TSA to be private corporations.
  Two men that the Republicans loved had Alzheimer’s and that was Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston. 

   I think everyone wants more spending for Alzheimer’s research.  I think even the Republicans understand that it will cost us more if do not find a cure for it.  (I heard someplace that it will cost us $2 trillion over the next ten years.)  Plus everyone is touched by it… You can be rich and powerful and be in the 1% and still get Alzheimer’s disease.

  I think the problem with the Republicans is that they might say yes spend more money on a cure for Alzheimer’s but then you have to cut food for children or something else.   
There are some things that government needs to do and can do best.  The Republicans hate government and they think the only thing that the government should do is have a strong military. 

Andrew Breitbart Yelling at Occupy Protesters

"Stop raping people!" Video by Emily Crockett (@emilycrockett) of Campus Progress:http://campusprogress.org/articles/exclusive_video_andrew_breitbart_to_occupi...

 

 

“Andrew Breitbart, the radical Tea Party media mogul best-known as a purveyor of misleading and faulty — if not outright false —  information, tonight was filmed in Washington, D.C., outside the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, where an Occupy group was protesting CPAC. Breitbart lost it on the crowd, and started screaming, “Behave yourself! Behave yourself! Behave yourself!,” over and over and over, and then, “you filthy freaks!,” and, repeatedly, “Stop raping people! Stop raping people!”

Breitbart was “gently encouraged by security guards to go back inside,” according to Emily Crockett of Campus Progress, according to DCist, who posted this video and reported, “Breitbart stepped outside and unleashed his fury at the demonstrators, calling them “freaks” at the top of his lungs.”

Last fall, Breitbart fantasized about killing Liberals — and especially union members — claiming that conservatives outnumber Liberals, and are the ones who have guns. The pseudo-journalist also said he was the subject of death threats, and complained people on Twitter call him “gay.”

Startlingly, Breitbart also claimed he is favored by U.S. military officers, who, in a civil war, would come to his aid, and  several times belittled political activist Janeane Garofalo.

Just after that, Breitbart claimed conservatives were “under siege.”

You tell me: is this the behavior of a sane man that anyone should be taking direction from?…”   The New Civil Rights Movement

Take away the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church please

  Anytime the Catholic bishops of the United States meet there should be people outside with signs about the pedophile problem in the Church.
  Anytime the Catholic bishops make any statement people should be there with signs about the “religious” pedophiles.
   
  I say this because the Catholic bishops like to make public statements about how birth control is a sin and how women can not be priest and other statements like that….  But they do not want to talk about the problems of Catholic priest fucking little boys.

  In fact let us go even better than that… Let’s make it anytime a Catholic bishop shows up anyplace there should be people with signs.
  Let’s make them have to hide in their big homes and fear going out in public.

    
  “ WRITE to CONGRESS TODAY -- A recent edict by HHS is “literally unconscionable.” It demands that sterilization, abortifacients and contraception be included in virtually all health plans. Study the issue & then write to Congress urging support for the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act here..”

 

  “edict” by the Health and Human Services?    The United States government does not issue “edicts.”  That CATHOLIC Church issues “edicts” that you must follow or you will burn in hell.
    “literally unconscionable” -  It is unconscionable that a woman should have the ability to use birth control if she wishes?  I understand that the bishops and priest do not think often about a woman’s vulva.  They sure never think about a woman’s clitoris.   We know they spend all their time thinking about the penis and testicles of little ten year old boys.  But why is it “unconscionable” for a woman to have the right and the ability to use birth control if she wishes?

    Yes study the issues and write and call Congress and ask that the tax exempt status be taken away from any organization that allows, promotes and acts so as to allow perverts to have access to little boys and girls even if the organization is a church.
    You allow and fall to report sexual crimes against children and you do not get a tax exempt status.  The Catholic Church should pay taxes and that money should go into a special account to be used by the department of HHS for children.
