If Fred Phelps wasn't enough
 
As if Fred Phelps wasn't enough to embarrass the state of Kansas, he has a brother in arms in the Kansas Legislature. Speaker Mike O'Neal is praying that President Obama's children be fatherless and his wife a widow. :(

Hard to imagine people would want someone so full of bitterness to represent them, very sad.

Psalm 109:8 doesn't say that. Isn't that Psalm 109:9?

He says he isn't referring to Psalm 109:9. I guess I don't understand why they even need to have a Psalm to pray for his downfall. Can't they just ask God for that?

I think Psalms 109:8 has become a popular bumper snicker, and O'Neil probably had too many oats for breakfast.

But it does make for a dandy pissing contest.

Ever gone to a Tea Baggggers rally? See and hear bitterness and hate in abundance.


I'm sure the person would not of said this if was not supported by his base.
Another scary thought!

Bet I have gone to more union meeting then you have. Most are pretty boring affairs unless it is election season or contract time. Then they can get to be heated but I have never seen the police called or stationed at the doors.
Now if it is a strike then you should or would expect anger towards the scabs who cross the picket lines. Fellow members who use the union for their gains but when needed they stab it in the back and only think of themselves. But I guess there is a political party that feels the same way for them! One who thinks "I've got mine"


Every event where I have seen Tea Bagggers there have been police and plenty of shouting and name calling.

Lee Iacocca, best union meeting ever when he took over a crashing Chrysler.

"I've got thousands of jobs available at seventeen bucks an hour. I've got none at twenty."

Meaning? Capitulate or I'll pull the plug on the whole thing.

Balls, man. Huge balls.

Have you read his books?

He wasn't just tough on labor. As a matter of fact he was soft on labor, compared to the brutal way he dealt with incompetent managers and unnecessary bureaucracy within the company. I wish we would get someone like that in charge at my company. It would be fun watching the myriad of offices and cubicles empty out as the pretty people, who wouldn't know an honest days work if it slapped them in the face, pack up thier crap and leave.:)

My old man liked him, even met him once when he visited the plant where Pop worked. And Pop was a union guy. But, Iacocca didn't go after the workers exclusively, he went after the idiots in the ivory tower as well. Pop respected that.

And so do I.:D

Some of you guys need to come to a political rally in Cleveland, see how genteel the left can be ;)

More and more I am convinced that the virulent opposition to President Obama is racist to the core. "Socialist" is GOP code for "black".

O'Neal is a racist pig who should be drummed out of office...then publicly shunned.

Oh Gee, I wondered why there was that "virulent" opposition to Bush, or Clinton, or Bush, or Reagan, or Carter....The racist GOP claim is getting a bit stale. All Presidents get criticized and IMNSHO that sort of comes with the job. Do you think that Obama's race ought shield him from criticism? Keep in mind what Reid and Clinton initially said wrt Obama's race.

I don't at all think that all, or even most of the criticism about Obama/disagreement with him is based on his race. On the other hand, one would be ignoring reality to not recognize that the attitudes of some toward him are skewed or intensified by his race. Those for whom this was true in 2008 likely harbor similar attitudes in 2012. To identify a reality that exists now and has existed for quite sometime is not to make a stale criticism.

+1.

And the fact that prominent GOP candidates have taken to frequently associating the words "black" or "african-american" with "welfare". As if only blacks draw funds from any type of public assistance?

I think that with time and the emboldening nature of cheering crowds the GOP will be more inclined to show their true nature. And ultimately, decent people will have no use for what they see.

Hey Blue,

Keep that avatar for awhile. It does my heart good to see a smiling dog when I see one of your posts. And God knows I see enough of your posts. :rolleyes:

Yes! Another vote for Sadie.

BlueStreak 01-18-2012 06:20 PM

She's lying at my feet. I just informed her of her poplarity. She groaned and looked at my shoes.

I think I'm being told it's time for a walk.
