RICHARD BURR (R-N.C.) SLIME-BALL

I have written several times in the past about politicians who put politics ahead of country. The new king of this disgusting practice is Richard Burr (R-N.C.). This slime-ball wrote an open letter to the veterans organizations in this country accusing them of protecting their relationship with the Veterans Administration. Why you may ask would he write this, because the veterans groups didn't call for the Veterans Secretary to resign like he did because of the problems within the department. Burr has the right to call for his resignation, but he doesn't have the right to ridicule the veterans groups for not calling for the resignation. The other thing this clown Burr did was vote against an increase in funding for the Veterans Administration last February. His Republican cohorts also voted against this increase, but now they have the audacity to criticize the department. Typical Republican, do nothing to help but blame everything on the people who are trying to help. The veterans groups didn't take this criticism lying down. The VFW said "Senator, this is clearly one of the most dishonorable and grossly inappropriate acts that we’ve witnessed in more than forty years of involvement with the veteran community and breaches the standards of the United States Senate," they wrote. "Your allegations are ugly and mean-spirited in every sense of the words and are profoundly wrong, both logically and morally. Quite frankly Senator, you should be ashamed."
I don't know if North Carolina can recall their senators, if they can he should be recalled. He is the most disgusting person. He also happens to be the lead Republican on the veterans committee in the Senate. Let me state this one more time. He is a slime-ball.

DUCT TAPE AND GARBAGE BAGS

I'm used to Republicans defending big business at all costs, but this might be the worst example of being in the pocket of big business, in this case big oil. Vance Mcallister (R-La.) also known as the kissing congressman for his escapades with one of his married staffers. In a hearing about deteriorating oil pipes in Louisiana a picture was shown of a pipe that was leaking and had been repaired with some duck tape and a garbage bag. He had the nerve to ridicule the man who showed that picture. He basically said the environmentalist are never happy. He said some one showed initiative with that fix. I don't know about you, but if I have a oil pipe leaking in my area I sure wanted it fixed properly instead of with duct tape and garbage bags.

MILITARY PROSELYTIZING

The United States Air Force is reviewing a rule that doesn't allow religious proselytizing by superiors involving men in their command. Some Republican's in congress and some evangelical organizations are upset. They think it should be okay. They see no problem with your commanding officer inviting you to a bible study. These people who believe this is okay are crazy. Can you imagine telling your commanding officer you're not interested. Your fitness for duty evaluations are going to be affected because you didn't want to participate. If you think that's not true all you have to do is listen to these zealots and you will see that is the only thing that matters to them. The welfare of the service comes in a distant second. The Air Force has been a target of the evangelicals for awhile. The Air Force Academy has had a problem with this. The last thing this country needs is a religious driven military service. More damage has been done in the world in the name of religion, and that is what would happen when you let the zealots be in charge.

The Republican's in congress should know better, but I think they should know better about a lot of things and they don't.

RAND PAUL LIES AGAIN

This is what's wrong with politics today. I am sure that this happens regularly, but the thing is the people doing it today have no problem with lying and don't care if they get caught because the people who want to believe will always believe. Facts and truth don't matter. I know that Democrats do this, but the preponderance of this stuff happens on the right, and it seems to be that it's the usual suspects doing it. They treat their base as fools and idiots. They have no worries about donations to their campaigns now that the billionaire clique has taken over.

This was sent out by Rand Paul Republican Senator from Kentucky. “ In the coming weeks, I will use whatever power this office holds [to ban guns].” President Barack Obama. This is a complete lie. This is what he actually said. “In the coming weeks, I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens -- from law enforcement, to mental health professionals, to parents and educators -- in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this, because what choice to we have? We can't accept events like this as routine.

How can any person want to be represented by this liar?

PLAYING THE VICTIM AGAIN

The right-wing crazy governors Sam Brownback of Kansas, and Chris Christie of New Jersey cut taxes and gave breaks to business claiming that would help their economies boom. Guess what? Kansas lost 45% of its tax income, and New Jersey is the least solvent state in the union. Of course it can't be these nitwits faults. They're trying to blame President Obama. Typical Republicans. They're the victims. It never is anything they do. The thing that bothers me most about this, is the fact that people of these states elect these people to run their states. I don't know if people are easily brainwashed or just stupid.

OKLAHOMA HAS TO GO

Over the last few years we have had a lot of ignorant speech from certain Governors and some state assemblies about seceding from the United States. Most of the people promoting this are crackpots. I want to change the scenario and ask that the state of Oklahoma to leave the union. I am not sure what is wrong with the politicians and the people who elect them, but they have to go. They have a Governor who thinks she is a dictator, they have state senators who want to ban marriage for all because he got all pissy about a federal judge over turning their ban on gay marriage, they wanted to impeach the state supreme court because they tried to stop an execution on legitimate grounds. We all know how that turned out. Finally they have one of if not the most ignorant United States Senators. I might have to apologize to ignorant people because he is well beyond ignorant, he is brain dead.
