Why save all the fire for America's first African-American President?
After "If race didn't at least play a part in it..."

No need.

Lightbulb 23% say the Tea Party are terrorists

Terrorists?

Ridiculous.

They're the hyperpartisan intolerant "religious right" trying to pass themselves off as tax crusaders.

Teabaggers are ignorant and stubborn, but that doesn't mean they are terrorists. They're as much terrorist as Obama is socialist.

The liberals who authored social security she's upset about not getting on time? Blame Henry Ford much why you crashed your truck?

It's not?? Let's get reality on record. Cognitive dissonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:
Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance. They do this by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and actions.[2] Dissonance is also reduced by justifying, blaming, and denying.

If she did, I would certainly agree 100%. However, did she? You know she worked her whole life and paid into the system? Or was she actually a life long stay at home mother with an empty nest for the bulk of her life riding on her husbands SS? Or upgrading widow checks with multiple marriages? There is no sorting that out in a blog. Republicans overrode the system with exceptions upon exceptions but didn't want to be the meanie raising the premiums imposed on all to cover SAHM's Cuban refugees or x or y or z. They expanded benefits and never increased payments into the system. If you don't want a car to work, make sure you never change the oil, and that's exactly who she elected for how many years? Betrayed by your own is very hard to take.

It's a good thing Republicans championed cap limits on financial liability/ restitution for crime, eh?

Seems to me back in the day paying triple what you stole was the best deterrent for theft ever written. But that experience under my belt doesn't count relative to Exxon's purchase of R/ Tea SCOTUS judges. So much for the "conservative" party!

She knows her bubble. She knows little more beyond it if she's carrying on pointing a bony finger of denial away from herself.

Parade around making announcements about what you stand for, then claim yourself persecuted when people point and laugh over your lack of homework? Your right to free speech doesn't mean everyone is obliged to agree with you and you're free to consult soap box crazies released from Bellvue if you choose. Soft in the head people get a free pass of charity only so far. They don't get permission to drive the bus or revise the constitution to suit their social agendas inflicted on all others universally.

Correction. How dixiecrats and black supremacists dictate to all others in free society that they've taken it upon themselves to null and void the constitution in their neck of the woods.

Rick Perry knows which side his bread is buttered. The billionaire side. Gee if only America had Texas poverty levels so insecure morons could feel tall about themselves for a day.

Just say NO to Banana Republicans.

I disagree. When loonies are intent on steering the ship into the rocks, you treat them accordingly.
