How the conservatives see the world.

You know maybe if those football players would strap on an AK-47 they would finally get the respect that they deserve.

Donald Trump VS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

You want a piece of me? Come and get some Cheeto Jesus.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it. 

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

This is what Trump tweeted in response:

Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2016

"Her mind is shot?"

Fuck that noise. In a contest of intellect Donald Trump would be lucky if he could last even five seconds against Justice Ginsburg.

She is simply stating what should be obvious to anybody with half a brain, Donald Trump is a dangerous megalomaniac uniquely unfit to hold political office on ANY level, much less to take up residence in the White House. 

Some are criticizing RBG or suggesting that she has damaged her legacy with these remarks.

Once again that is just prime USDA horseshit.

RBG could proclaim in an interview that she likes to smoke crack and cruise downtown Washington for young hunky Latinos to take back to her chambers, and it STILL would not damage this woman's credibility or hurt her legacy.

If anything what she has said will only increase her status among patriotic Americans who do not want to see this country in the hands this orange ignoramus.

Glenn Beck's radio talk show gets suspended for not confronting caller who hinted at a 2nd Amendment solution for Donald Trump.

Satellite radio company SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck's syndicated show this week and is "evaluating" the program's place over comments made last week by one of Beck's guests. 

Last week, fiction writer Brad Thor appeared on Beck's program and suggested GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was a danger to America and that citizens would have to take means that may not be legal in order to get Trump out of office. Beck did not immediately admonish or distance himself from the comments, leading to the suspension by SiriusXM. 

Look I understand people's very real concerns about Donald Trump, and support numerous methods for stopping him from being elected.

But like pretty much all liberals I draw the line at actual murder.

And clearly Glenn Beck should do the same. 

Cross country march to "restore honor" to America put on hold after one organizer shoots the co-founder dead in argument over gun.

Planning for a cross-country march to “restore America” — which is related to the Oregon nature preserve standoff — appears to have hit a snag when one of its organizers shot the other co-founder Monday afternoon during a drunken argument over a gun. 

Sheriff’s deputies in Grayson County, Texas, have not released details about the fatal shooting, but social media posts by right-wing “patriots” associated with militants occupying an Oregon nature preserve identified the victim and shooter as the organizers of the Paul Revere 2016 Final March To Restore America. 

“Dear friends it’s my dearest regrets to have to share this heart breaking new (sic) with you tonight. That OUR fellow patriot and brother Charles Carter is no longer with us. He gone to be with Jesus. Today killed by a fellow patriot Vincent Smith. Who was suppose (sic) to be his brother in arms and friend,” posted online radio host Keith Williams, who described himself as the victim’s next of kin. 

Bill Williamson, another right-wing “patriot” associated with the Oregon militants, said in a Facebook post that Smith shot Carter in a drunken dispute over a gun. 

Williamson, an organizer of the failed 2 Million Bikers 2 DC rally, said he had been communicating with Carter through Facebook messages minutes before his friend attacked Smith. 

He said Carter was intoxicated and pulled Smith’s gun from its holster, but Smith drew a “spare gun” and shot his friend in the head.

I am trying very hard to feel badly about this.

I will let you know if I make any progress.

67 year old Georgia "patriot" plants bomb in park in order to convince people that terrorism is coming to America. Can't argue with that logic.

A 67-year-old Marietta, Georgia man is accused of planting a backpack containing two pipe bombs in an Atlanta-area public park in order to frighten the public and sow fear of Islamic terrorism. 

According to Atlanta’s Channel 2 News, conservative “patriot” Michael Sibley confessed to police that he was trying to educate people that terror strikes can happen anywhere and without warning when he planted the bombs last November. 

The backpack contained two partially-constructed pipe bombs, a Koran and a list of “soft targets” for terrorist attacks — i.e., non-military, unguarded structures like hospitals and schools. Among the list of potential targets was an Atlanta Jewish center. 

Channel 2 quoted Sibley’s arrest report, which reported that he “(s)tated that he is a ‘patriot’ and he felt no one was paying attention to what was going on the world. Sibley felt if he placed the package in a Roswell park then people would finally get that this type of activity could happen anywhere.”

You know I already knew we were in danger of terrorists here in America. 

They're called "domestic terrorists" and we are already well aware that they pose a much greater threat to our citizens than do Islamic terrorists.

NRA First VP claims that they are fighting a "culture war." Apparently they think a culture war involves actual bullets.

Courtesy of ABC News:  

NRA First Vice President James Porter, who will take over the top job Monday, issued a full-throated challenge in the opening hours to President Barack Obama after the NRA's major victory on gun control and a call to dig in for a long fight that will stretch into the 2014 elections. 

More than 70,000 NRA members are expected to attend the three-day convention amid the backdrop of the defeat of a major gun control bill in the U.S. Senate that was introduced after December's mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. 

Porter's remarks came in a short speech to about 300 people at a grass-roots organizing meeting and set the tone for a "Stand and Fight"-themed convention that is part gun trade show, political rally and strategy meeting. 

"This is not a battle about gun rights," Porter said, calling it "a culture war." 

"(You) here in this room are the fighters for freedom. We are the protectors," said Porter, whose father was NRA president from 1959-1960.

Let me get this straight, these idiots think they are "fighters for freedom" in the middle of a "culture war?"

What "culture" are they "fighting" for?

Could it be the culture that allows a room full of kindergarteners to be gunned down in their elementary school with an assault rifle?

Or perhaps a culture that allows a man to purchase an Uzi, without background checks, in the parking lot of a Babies-R-Us?

Or perhaps a culture that allows a five year old boy to kill his two year old sister with a gun made specifically for him to handle more efficiently?

Or perhaps one that makes sure that a boy who attempts to rape his one mother can then riddle her body with bullets from his 22 caliber?

Is that it? Is that the "culture" they are trying to protect?

And by the way it is not lost on me that the NRA has usurped evangelical talking points in order to make their case.  There is no more fertile ground to plant your seeds than that tilled by a lifetime of exposure to religion.

And Christians are tailor made for those who want to convince a constituency that they are being persecuted. I would suggest that if somebody were to walk around this NRA meeting and ask each person their religious affiliation, almost ALL of them would self identify as Christians. Most likely Fundamentalist Christians.

And the hypocrisy of worshiping a man of immense peace and acceptance while arguing for access to weapons designed for murder would be completely lost on them.

Gee I wonder how many more bodies will pile up while these "patriots" fight for their freedoms? Personally I think the death toll is too fucking high already!
