E.W. Jackson Warns Same-Sex Marriage Leads to Bestiality: 'Adam and Steve' Becomes 'Adam and a Bull' | Right Wing Watch
During a sermon last October, Virginia GOP Lt. Governor nominee E.W. Jackson added to his long list of virulently anti-gay remarks by warning that marriage equality for gays and lesbians will result in the legalization of man-animal unions. Jackson warned the crowd that if they don’t stop “Adam and Steve” it is going to “soon be Adam and a bull,” arguing that their family, school and community may be “overwhelmed by the torrent of wickedness” if they don’t stop same-sex marriage.

Another First for Tennessee Trash
In a disgusting display, even by TEApublican standards, Stephen Fincher (R-TN) quoted the “Book of Thessalonians” from the New Testament (of christians magic boo boo book), to justify letting the poor starve. Fincher smugly stated on the House floor:
“The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” - from the christians magic boo boo book.
Of course, it’s a well-known attribute of conservatives to see things in black and white while often missing more nuanced aspects of real life. In Fincher’s warped mind, people that need help are just lazy moochers who should simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even though, as most liberals know, many of these people don’t even have boots–or functioning feet in the context of this analogy–for that matter.
- One might also observe that anyone who puts in such a small amount of work to determine the solutions to our problems ought to be include in those lazy bastards killed - like the entire republican party. There is no greater bum than the bum who sits on their bum staring at FUX news for “enlightenment”.
Tennessee: Where Vapid Nonsense Is Volunteered by Lazy Bastards
Race in the Eye of the Beholder
Americans tend to think of race as a fixed characteristic defined by descent. During the early 20th century the “one-drop rule” crystallized legal segregation. Anyone with any known African ancestry was to be classified and treated simply as black. The rule applied even to people who appeared to be white, such as Walter White, a prominent early member of the NAACP. The very fact that the United States tried so hard to impose such sharp distinctions suggests that race was not so much a biological or genetic characteristic but a socially constructed one. If racial differences were “natural,” how could the same person be considered blanca (white) in Brazil, or perhaps mestiza in Mexico, but black in the United States? How could the same person be described by the Census as “White” in 1910, “Hindu” in 1930, “Other” in 1960, and “Asian Indian” from 1980 on? Nevertheless, most Americans still think a person’s race is fairly obvious and unchanging; we know it the minute we meet him or her. Similarly, most academic research also treats race as fixed and foreordained. A person’s race comes first and then his or her experiences, education, job, neighborhood, income, and well-being follow. My research with Andrew Penner on how survey respondents were classified by race over the course of their lives, calls into question this seemingly obvious “fact.” (Source: azspot)

Oklahomans also voted to abolish affirmative action programs in state government and to eliminate the intangible property tax businesses pay for such things as patents, trademarks and brand names… and school improvements
"CNN’s Wolf Blitzer talks to an Oklahoma tornado survivor:
Wolf Blitzer: We’re happy you’re here. You guys did a great job. I guess you got to thank the Lord. Right?
Survivor: Yeah.
Blitzer: Did you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?
Survivor: I — I’m actually an atheist.
Blitzer: You are. All right. But you made the right call.
Survivor: Yeah. We are here. And you know, I don’t blame anybody for thanking the Lord.
Blitzer: Of course not."

Why the hell does anyone watch CNN? Does their entire audience consist of folks stuck at the airport/doctor’s office?

Miners’ Union and Environmental Activists Stage Protests Against Peabody Coal in St. Louis | Socialist Organizer
In recent months, Peabody Coal Co. has been the subject of large militant protests by both environmentalists and the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Union. Peabody, the world’s largest and most prosperous coal energy company, has its world headquarters in a shining big skyscraper in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. A few decades ago, coal companies started to shift production from deep underground mines mostly in the Eastern United States to huge open strip mines in Western states, such as Power Valley and the Navajo Nation. For decades the Eastern coal mines were centers of militant trade union struggles led by the UMWA. [See such classic films as “Harlan County,” the “Molly Maguires,” and “Matawan” for stories of theses struggles.] In 2011, Peabody Coal shifted some of the assets in old Eastern coal fields to a new dummy corporation, Patriot Coal. This slick action was aimed at getting out of paying “legacy costs” to over 20,000 retired miners and their families. Patriot Coal is now in Federal District bankruptcy court in St. Louis declaring that it cannot pay the defined-benefit pensions and health-care coverage it negotiated with the UMWA for decades.
Thought you couldn’t hate Obama any more than you already do? This is absolutely absurd. Just the mere fact that he would ask (order) a Marine to do this shows he has no concept of respect. Think this is photoshopped? I got it from the CNN website. It’s completely true. Do a web search and you’ll see multiple sources. This President is absolutely worthless.
Title ten of the Armed Forces US Code says that members of the military do what is asked of them by their Commander in Chief. The man next to them is the Prime Minister of Hungary. It would be bad show to let the rain fall on the head of a visiting diplomat, and any Marine on Presidential duty is honored to be there. This is not about the umbrellas, it is about treating visiting dignitaries with honor and respect. To only have an umbrella over the head of Prime Minister Orban would be a sign of superiority or strength over the visiting PM. The president did the correct thing in the situation by showing enough respect for his fellow leader and giving them both an equal platform.
Y’all need to stop freaking the fuck out over stupid shit like umbrellas.
pls.
also he didn’t think he even needed the umbrella, thus resulting in this picture of him checking if it was even raining even more aka my favorite picture of him ever:
Speaking as the son of a former Army officer, OP’s post is even more disrespectful towards the Marine in the photo - and the US military in general - than it is towards the President. It shows that literally the only part of being in the military OP has respect for is the part that involves killing others and that is not the biggest part of the military by a long shot and is not the part of military service most members joined for. People join the military to serve the nation, and part of that is stuff like this. There is a reason active duty military do not and are not supposed to discuss their opinions of a President during that President’s term. The President is the Commander in Chief regardless of who they actually are. Republican, Democrat, third party, no longer existent party: it does not matter. Being art of the White House guard and the Presidential detail, especially when a foreign dignitary or leader is present, is one of the biggest honors in the military.
But it’s a fucking umbrella, so complaining about it in the first place is massively moronic.
OP postin’ some Fox news Facebook level shit.
