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.

Regards,

D-Ray

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.
