i love how boehner finally says one reasonable thing and the gop supporters flip a shit... unbelievable

That's why anybody that thinks the Republican party will realign themselves anytime soon are foolish. A large part of the vocal base has lost their minds and the party leaders can't control it anymore, especially with guys like Rush still spouting his bullshit.

Dunno if this was posted, but Alan Curuba is crazy sauce.

A choice quote:

In 2008 Americans voted for Obama in the belief that they could demonstrate to the world that it was post-racial, post-partisan. Instead they got a cold, indifferent, arrogant man who listened only to a small circle of leftist advisors and shadowy, unknown and unseen “czars” in the White House.

UNSEEN CZARS AAAAAAHHHHHH.

What's worse are the comments, many of which are legitimately scary. I have a hard time believing they're not just internet trolls or something. I want to believe that's the case cause if not, damn.

Our ancestors, who fought for The Freedom of America in the Revolutionary War, are rolling in their graves!
I must try to take solace in the fact that half of the American People feel as I do.
I refuse to be a part of society where being a DEVIANT is the accepted norm.
Where being a liar, a cheater and mean spirited is accepted.
Where people only care about themselves, abortions, little words and little ideas.
Where people are like dumb sheep.
Where nice guys really do finish last.
I must focus on the fact that there are folks like me who know it is about Freedom, preserving our Constitution and The American Dream.
You reap what you sow.

Yeah, California is a microcosm of the entire USA. We've got every type of region in one big state.

Not just the state.
I live in San Diego County, and even this county is a microcosm of the USA. Head just a few miles east and it starts turning into a hillbilly hoedown. There's even a "creation science" museum out there.

This guy knows what I'm talking about.
 
A friend of mine made a post on facebook about "reminding" people that we're all the same and want the best for this country, and "we can all truly work together, stop thinking others have to take care of us, and give our fair share, take responsibility for our own existence, and stop trying to limit each others rights"

I know from this he voted for Romney. He's gay, and really conservative. I just don't get it. I want to say something, but i'm biting my tongue so hard right now. He's really sensitive and I know if I said something, what I'm thinking would really offend him. I want to ask him specifically what rights are being limited.
 
Oh South, you so crazy. PS Please secede at your earliest convenience.

I live in a hotspot of racist tweets which doesn't surprise me at all (southeast Texas). At my last job the worst thing I ever did was admit to voting for Obama. Most businesses disregard all ethics under the assumption that everyone is a diehard, Obama-hating republican. It's embarrassing and crazy to think that about how many "professionals" I see with foul bumper stickers covering their big ass trucks.

We still have birthers as far as the eye can see and damn near every republican here thinks Obama is a socialist muslim antichrist.
 
Pretty sad that we're still seeing such blatant racism in this day and age. I'm assuming there are no laws against this at all in America? Some of the tweets that I see exhibit intention to threaten the President's life - surely that cannot go unpunished ?

"Look at those blacks dancing in the streets because Obama won. They only voted for him because he's black that's the only reason!"

"I want a white president because he'll look after my interests better than a black one!"

"Black people have to put up with racism because of their behavior, they deserve it!"

"Tired of paying taxes for these leeches!"
Paraphrasing. This is my first time listening to these guys. They really don't like black people.
 
According to people at my work, every other Country hates Obama. :(

Totally reminded me of the post a few pages back explaining how it's Americans themselves who hate him and see him as weak, while other Countries probably don't care.
 
Pure, unfiltered crazy Warning: It's Glenn Beck and he calls liberals and infection.

I joke, but that video scares me. He uses some dangerous rhetoric

This guy's been swimming in money since he left cnn. Wowzers. Talk about baiting. Of all the conservative talk hosts, i think his the one that puts on a show.

EDIT:
I mean Listen to this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fUfkEMk7UiI#t=56s

He can't be taking his words seriously, right?

Where will Beck be when one of these lunatics that he helped create, does actually go out and hurt someone? It's easy to imagine that some of these internet redneck gun toters are quite serious about doing what they feel is right, no matter how idiotic it actually is. Beck, Limbaugh, FOX News, etc. should be held accountable for influencing these extremists.

"Gotta move where there is no infection, look at this place *Points to area on map close to mexico border*...Haha, what a surprise!"

Glenn beck is entertaining to watch.
 
This is what amazes me most about the "how can people be so stupid!?!" (To vote democrat).

To a large group of people "common sense" trumps so called "book-learning".

In fact my parents, though smart people (and liberal), fall into this category. (I overheard my mother complaining one day about how stupid academics really are in comparison to hardworking people. Kind of hurt since I AM an academic and she had always said she was proud of me.)

It almost happened once already. A nut that listens to Beck went to go shoot up people at the Tides Foundation (some Soros nonprofit) but by random luck the CHP happened to stop him for driving erratically and got into a shoot out.

Good Lord, that sounds dangerously like a call to arms. Unfortunate that people might actually buy into this. I truly fear for the nation's future.

I think he's trying to get his viewers to bomb American universities somewhere halfway through. That's how it sounds anyways in the part where's showing that all the blue counties in Ohio happened to also have colleges. Aren't there laws against public incitement to violence?
 
Just curious on this bit, because I've seen people who want to leave the country: is there any nation out there similar to ours, but more right wing (in the sense that America uses it these days)? I honestly can't think of one.
 
http://www.buzzfeed.com/jwherrman/17-people-talking-about-assassinating-the-presiden

buzzfeed chickening out and have been taking down some on this list by request
looks like all twitter accounts explicitly calling out that they'd assassinate are down

Twitter's run by smart people.

They either:

1. Realized how fantastically stupid leaving those tweets up would be and banned the users.
2. Got an email very fast from the SS asking them for the users' IPs.

Either way, the people who said those things are idiots.

Singapore is probably the only place I can think of.

Personal tax rates start at 0% and are capped at 20% (above S$320,000) for residents and a flat rate of 15% for non-residents.

No capital gains tax.

Attitude towards welfare:

Obviously no guns but you really don't need them.

The least corrupt public service officials in the world.

Plus kiasu. :)

It's hot as hell though and has dengue, otherwise I would call it the ideal country in the world. Then again, who knows what will happen when Lee Kuan Yew finally passes away - he is like the Steve Jobs of Singapore. :)

Not a big fan of their judicial system
