What do terrorists do? Well, one thing is they take hostages. Some times they kill the hostage, and sometimes the ransom the hostage to get something they want.
“I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting,” he said. “Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this — it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming."Yes, the republican leader in the Senate said about the debt ceiling,
"it's a hostage that's worth ransoming."
That is terrorist talk!
And he is willing to do it again.
Congressional republicans are American Terrorists and their leader is Mitch McConnell.

That's exactly what McConnell is -- a terrorist. We have ways of dealing with terrorists. McConnell and his minions should be dealt with accordingly.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hell can't anyone get this. These fuckers do what ever they want because they can. And they knew that when the killer chimp put his hand down when lying taking the oath in 2000.
ReplyDeleteThey have not stopped not will they. They knew no one would be held accountable for their actions. To this day it's the same and our side is part of it as well.
And if you cross them too bad they'll fucking kill you and they do.
I spent two days arguing with some asshole on FB about my use of the term terrorist when referring to the Republicans. He was arguing on the grounds that it brought down the level of discourse and just inflamed people. I was arguing that it's a perfectly legitimate term in this case. He's history. People need to take their blinders off.
ReplyDeleteNow the Senate republicans have found a way to hold the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau hostage. They have figured out a way to filibuster while they're sitting by the pool with their billionaire donors and prevent a recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head up the bureau.
ReplyDeleteObama should figure out a way around it and then appoint Elizabeth Warren instead.
And they don't even have to cheat to get it done.
ReplyDeleteWill he do something? That would be nice but I doubt it.
As far a being a terrorist - well hell yes as well as any number of other very bad things.
terrorist bastards!
ReplyDeleteJerry, didn't you just accuse me of using hyperbole?............The fact is, the Republicans (the majority of them anyway) would not have allowed the debt-ceiling not to be raised. Mr. Obama blinked. And even if I'm totally wrong here, the President still could have invoked the 14th Amendment (an act that even this conservative Supreme Court wouldn't have touched). Comparing Mitch McConnell (admittedly a dick) to bin Laden will do nothing more than to turn persuadable people against you.
ReplyDeleteWill,
ReplyDeleteYes I did. Maybe it is something we are both guilty of. However, you don't necessarily need an airplane to blow up a country.
And then again, here is a list, compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center, of terrorist acts perpetrated by the right-wing since 1995, beginning with the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history.
ReplyDeleteThe list contains 62 acts.
You can relax, Jerry. I'm not one of those people who think that all terrorist are Muslim terrorists, or that all bad people are people who practice Islam. Of course I don't think that all bad people are conservatives, either....I mean, don't you think that that would be equally absurd?
ReplyDeleteI agree Will. Not all bad people are conservatives. Now, if you had said most... :)
ReplyDeleteWould you agree to a plurality?
ReplyDeleteDepends on the groupings.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the latest evidence today's conservative extremists, whatever label they wear, know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Why more than a small minority of Americans ever trust these people with the responsibility of governing defies logic, except for one very unbecoming trait: perversity.
ReplyDeleteIf it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, then it is a duck...if these Republican Teahadists are doing all these horrible things to our country and decimating our middle class...then they are not very patriotic and the actions they have taken can only be classified as sabotage...and if this insults anybody's sensibilities...as John Boehner would say: "so be it"

The weasel is a Wall Street whore.
ReplyDeleteA terrorist, a teahadist..the R's running the party now are both of these and more. That they would bring our country to it's knees in order to gain control of it says volumes about them and none of it good.
ReplyDeleteI never thought the republikan party could get worse than when Rover was running things..but evidently it could..and did.
Grasping at straws.
ReplyDeleteThanks for exposing the fact that you don't know how to read a dictionary, or use English.
Not surprising for idol (Obama) worshipers.
Anonymous comments, particularly ones that are the most vehement, are the work of cowards. Just a thought..tossing it out there, from the Omnipotent Poobah. ;-)
