Great Article and Thanks

For watching Idiotic Glenn Beck and his panel of morons. I couldn't do it, I've tried but I can watch Fox News because it makes me want to hunt them down and bury them in the middle of no-where Montana, which happens to be almost everywhere in Montana.

Am I shocked, I kind of am, I mean it sounds like Beck is attempting to foment a revolution? Against what I would like to know, a legitimately elected President? I have a feeling this time no one is listening to Fox News. I have a feeling this time people are tired and scared of our economic situation. I have a feeling they want us to all work together and that includes Republicans, it they want to work together, so far they don't want to, but whatever, the country put them out of business this last election, took away their power, told them to pick up their toys and get the hell out because the nation wants to move on and fix what Republicans have broken. I kind of like that they are continuing their mistakes of the past few of years. Perfect. Next election even more Republicans will be gone.

But you are correct Glenn, these folks are just pissed off they've not only lost ultimate control of the country, they've lost control of the population because most of us aren't angry, we've never had that much power to begin with, but those white guys are finally having to learn to share. Share power, share governing, they are simply afraid like you said, mad we don't listen to them anymore, mad because they still think they know everything even when their eight year experiment failed and failed miserably. Miserably, but what do you expect from people who don't even believe in science!

@Kathy78

Actually Kathy78, being in the Navy earns you nothing. You are no better or no worse than the rest of the general public. We can all disagree or agree with the president because we are Americans, whether we've served or not, otherwise, folks like Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Bill Krystal, Charles Krauthamer, David Frum, David Brooks, Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, shit that list goes on and on doesn't it, would have to keep their traps shut. So don't use that shit here. Back up your arguments with facts. Calling the President messiah makes us all know you came here from Sean Hannity's site and you are probably a man. So the word troll is quite appropriate. Go back to RedState or Hannity's site if you don't want anyone questioning you.

@pageiger

Nice, Nice. Thanks for adding the TVA, and out here we have BPA (Bonneville Power Administration) helped the northwest immensely you know when it comes to power being available to everyone. And then for everyone on the face of the earth let's talk about ARAPNET, which has morphed into the Internet, this thing we are using right now, without ARPANET where would we be technologically speaking?

Republicans repeatedly tell us government can't work for us, but in reality government can't work for us when Republicans run the government because they wish to destroy government. That is the reason they are lousy managers of government, they repeatedly say they do not believe in government. So when they take over they appoint morons like Brownie and make him head of FEMA even though he has no emergency management experience, then morons like Jindal say we know the federal government can't help us! Except the real lesson in this was we know Republican's can't manage the federal government because they want it to fail. And when Republicans are in charge it frequently does fail.

@somethingstinks

Dude, if your parents come from India that does not make you a Native American. Are all conservatives morons? Would he have mentioned his parents were immigrants if he were a native American? Did you even listen to the speech? You know you can't reason with people who don't even have a firm grasp of facts.

@jcjcjcjc

Original article: Finale wrap-up: "Top Chef"

Blech

Can't stand Hosea, but my daughter loves him, so she was thrilled. I was rooting for Carla, but know Steffan is the best chef there.

Love It

Republicans are sealing their fate aren't they. They are the party who hates everyone that isn't a white man or Ann Coulter. The best part is they don't now their vitriolic, anti-woman, anti-gay people, anti-immigrant actions and words are sealing the fate of that political party. They certainly can be compared to the know-nothing party which did go away by 1860. I love they are marginalizing their party, and that the rest of the country now recognizes their xenophobia. Bye Republican's it won't be long, you will go the way of the Whig Party, the Know-nothing Party, and the dixiecrats. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

Where Republicans offer American's

A sharp stick in the eye.

Just when you think they can't get any lower

They top themselves once again. Republicans are the ever shrinking party for a reason... the know-nothing crowd is at it again.

@JoeinAustin

Thanks Joe, you just proved my point.

@docpark

The forces that caused the Civil War are still here as a dark undercurrent in the American psyche. People ignore this at their peril. It's not entirely about race but race is the simplest way to explain it. Plenty of people in the North sympathized with the South during the war.

I don't know what to say about this statement. What really does this have to do with Republican's trying to be cool?

@brown man atl

That is beautiful, you are 100% correct. Thanks.
