"....the Republicans seem to favor skulking around by the side door- in effect, changing the law by deceit and legerdemain."

"One of the things is, people are told they don't need to create opportunities," he said. "It's up to somebody else to offer them a job."

(I do not think that Rep. King knows what life is like, out there- beyond his government job.)

"When beliefs are far from what is considered the norm you should have the expectation that you will be judged. Also, in any
society the few are sometimes required to participate in the activities of the masses if they do not want to be ostracized."

"We are not [ however] obligated to protect those who choose to be deviants in society."

"A welcoming environment is what we should not create. Satan should not be comfortable in God’s world. You say they should develop
their own world view when you really want them to adopt your world view. The book they need to read for information is the Bible.
Nontheism should not be spoken of in a tone of acceptance."

"The group that tried to get started here could not find a sponsor because as educators we want to lead students in a positive direction;
not lead them to hell."

The Libor scandal is more than just the latest financial deception to come to light. It exposes a fraud that runs to the heart of our financial system."

In the now-infamous London Whale case, the bank deceived over 100 embedded examiners from three federal regulatory agencies
about the parameters of its internal investment operations. Then, it invested excess, government-insured deposits in high-risk,
proprietary trading in synthetic credit derivative securities, which it disguised as benign, risk-management hedging. Then, between
the time that Bloomberg reported the disaster in the disguised trading operation and the time the bank acknowledged the growing
losses, senior management deceived investors as to the 'material nature' of the problem.

According to the Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition, during the most recent five years (2000-2004) for which there is data,
27 black women in Illinois died of pregnancy-related causes, a period in which only one white woman died of the same causes.

So far as I could learn, no one called a national investigation into their tragic deaths or made them into a campaign issue.

Pat Robertson- Robertson opened Monday’s 700 Club broadcast with the news that there had been a mass shooting at the Sikh Temple
of Wisconsin in Oak Creek. Pat Robertson then proceeded to tell all his fans that atheists were responsible for the murders.

Reports also indicated that Mr. Jerk the murderer, had a number of tattoos, including one that said “9/11″ and a Celtic knot,
which is commonly used a symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity. There is no evidence that Page was an atheist.

Pat Robertson's and sidekick Terry speak up

Pat Robertson-
"Here on Earth it isn't so much Heavenly. There was a hostile attack on a house of worship. Right here,
in the United States of America. This time, a former Army soldier killed six people in a Sikh temple.
In Terry's home state!

Terry-
"That's right! Shocking! Because that's an area where this rarely occurs, if ever.
This is only the latest assault. For years churches have been the scene of attacks and even murders."

Raw Story has a full video clip. Do Pat and Terry ever listen to themselves and what they have said ?

Pat Robertson-

"What diz it ta ? Is it satanic ? Is it some spiritual thing ? People who are atheists- they hate God/god.
They hate the expression of God/god. And- they are angry at the world. Angry with themselves.
Angry with society. And take it out on innocent people who are worshiping God/god.
And whether it's a Sikh temple, or a Baptist church, or a Catholic Church. or a Muslim mosque-
What ever it is."-

"I just abhor this kind of violence, and it's the kind of thing we should do something about.
But, what do you do ? What do ya do ? Well, you talk about the love of God/god. And hope that it has some impact."

Pat Robertson Blames Atheists for Sikh Temple Shooting

"The people behind these efforts at disenfranchising large groups of voters (the young, the old, the black, the brown) are not Republicans,
since clearly they have scant regard for our republic or its values. They are oligarchs and racists clad in the skins of dead elephants."

None? Well you heard it here first. Put troops on the border and start shooting, I bet that solves our immigration problem real quick."

Todd Akin on Rape and Abortion, The Jaco Report, 8/19/2012

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdisTOKom5I

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare.”

“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

“But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment,
but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

Akin issued a statement Sunday [August 19, 2012]afternoon, saying he misspoke-

But I believe deeply in the protection of all life and I do not believe that harming another innocent victim is the right course of action.”

In another “technical” adjustment, the Obama administration has altered flight rules to allow un-piloted drones to fly over the United States,
in places where previously only piloted planes were allowed. There has been no official reason given for the change in regulations, but it opens
the way for unlimited aerial surveillance of US citizens, and the eventual sci-fi scenario of citizens being zapped from the air without warning
if Obama does not approve of them, just as has happened to hundreds of people in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere.

That may found far fetched – but so does anti-aircraft batteries on the roofs of London apartment blocks and 17,000 army personnel patrolling
the streets of London. Civil liberties have disappeared so fast in the past decade there is no telling where it will end.
