AND NOW… AN ANDREW BREITBART SIGHTING
Remember Andrew Breitbart? Of
course you do.
Here he is confronting protestors
that were outside of CPAC.
EMBARASSING TO…. WELL, ANYONE
Here is a “hip hop” performance during
one of the sessions at CPAC.
Did they just say the N-word
during the performance…? Listen closely at 1:50.
It might be KNICKERS, but given
the current state of the GOP it wouldn’t shock me if they said “it”.
Ugh…
Again… shaking my head.
Again… shaking my head.

THE ATTACK ON WOMEN'S HEALTH NEEDS TO END NOW
Governor Rick Perry was at CPAC
this week and had this to say:
“Last year I proudly signed a
budget that ended all state funding for Planned Parenthood in my state. Since
then there’s been about a dozen of those clinics that shut down in the state of
Texas.”- Rick
Perry at CPAC
Governor, how does defunding
Planned Parenthood balance the state budget? How does it keep our public
schools from closing? How does it keep fire fighters employed? How does it
improve our infrastructure? How does it promote a responsible energy policy?
As someone who has a mother,
several aunts, grandmothers on both sides of his family still living, a sister,
and a young niece, this is downright disgusting.
The attack on Women’s Health
needs to end now.
Women must have access to health
care in order to manage their own bodies. That includes access to birth control
pills, breast and other cancer screenings, gynecological examinations,
reproductive assistance technologies such as in vitro fertilization, and if
necessary undergo a procedure to abort a pregnancy.
Women must have access to health
care without fear of reprisal. These are medical decisions made between a
medical provider and their patient and those decisions must be respected.
The Sonogram Bill that passed the
Texas Legislature in this most recent session is a gross violation and a
blatant disrespect of an individual’s right to privacy. Republicans say they
want government out of people’s lives... unless you are a woman, then they have
to inspect your uterus.
Yes, I am a man. However (comma)
as I stated before, I know women through my family relationships.
As a fellow human being, this
attack on Women’s Health is an outrage. It does not solve the real problems facing
our country.

ELLEN ADDRESSES HER J.C. PENNY CRITICS
Apparently there is a group called
“One Million Moms” that got upset that retailer J.C. Penny named Ellen
DeGeneres as their company’s new spokesperson.
First, J.C. Penny is not backing
down from their decision. Good for them.
Second, an interesting person has
come to her defense and all LGBT people: Howard Stern.
Listen to this commentary from Howard Stern and Robin Quivers (It’s Howard Stern, there is language. Discretion is advised).
Listen to this commentary from Howard Stern and Robin Quivers (It’s Howard Stern, there is language. Discretion is advised).
Third, here is Ellen DeGeneres
addressing the “controversy” and also the Ninth Circuit striking Prop 8 down as
unconstitutional.
Ellen’s right. She stands for
traditional values like treating people kind and fairly unlike the “One Million
Mom’s.”
Maybe we need to adopt those
values instead.

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #375 (CENSORED)
Aired after The Big Bang Theory on 2 February 2012 from Chuck Lorre Productions: The
Official Vanity Card Archives
Forgive
me a moment of political reflection, but I'd like to take this opportunity to
discuss something that's been on my mind for a very long time. I've always
understood the Republican Party to have, as its central platform, the idea that
human beings should never be dominated by a monolithic government which tells
them how to live their lives. I like that. It feels like a fundamental truth,
and I can't imagine any right-minded person finding fault with it. I've also noticed
that there are many in the Grand Old Party who insist on telling people exactly
how they should live.
For
example: Alcohol, yes. Pot, no. Straight marriage, yes. Gay marriage, no.
Jesus, yes. Others prophets, no. The death penalty, yes. Abortion, no.
Capitalism, yes (by force if need be). Collectivism, hell no! Added to this is
an inclination to find anyone who chooses these other paths to be deeply repugnant.
All of
which causes me to wonder, is there a middle ground?
In fact,
are there big political gains awaiting those of a conservative bent if they can
figure out a way to celebrate individual freedom while simultaneously tolerating
diversity of opinion and lifestyle?
With that
in mind, I humbly propose the following slogan designed to both embrace this
paradox and ignite the general electorate in the coming presidential campaign.
CAL THOMAS’ COMMENTS ABOUT RACHEL MADDOW
Ah… The Conservative Political
Action Conference is underway in Washington, DC. Let’s take a look…
Here’s my rebuttal to Cal Thomas’
comments:
“It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress. I think you've been cheated.”
- R. Lee Ermey
as the character GySgt Hartman USMC in the movie Full Metal Jacket
Stay classy GOP!

WINNING OUR FUTURE REPRESENTATIVE IS A LOSER
While watching the returns for the Florida GOP Primary last night, I happened to see this interview between Rick Tyler,
leader of the Pro-Gingrich Super PAC Winning Our Future, and the MSNBC
political panel consisting of Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, and Lawrence O’Donnell.
After the interview, the panel
joined by Ed Schultz and Steve Schmidt, who was the Senior Strategist for
Senator McCain’s 2008 Presidential Campaign, discussed more about the racially
charged messages coming from Newt Gingrich.
In short, Rick Tyler’s comments
were downright offensive.
Instead of having a hired mouthpiece
speak for him, maybe Newt Gingrich should respond directly to what he has said.
I doubt it.
