A Club of Liars, Demagogues and Ignoramuses

The US Republican race is dominated by ignorance, lies and scandals. The current crop of candidates have shown such a basic lack of knowledge that they make George W. Bush look like Einstein. The Grand Old Party is ruining the entire country’s reputation. . .

What a nice club that is. A club of liars, cheaters, adulterers, exaggerators, hypocrites and ignoramuses. “A starting point for a chronicle of American decline,” was how David Remnick, the editor of the New Yorker, described the current Republican race.

Our government is not in place to placate anyone’s religious beliefs, period. There should be no references to the religious beliefs of our politicians.

Bill Looman, Georgia Business Owner, Draws Fire For ‘Not Hiring Until Obama Is Gone’

A west Georgia business owner has been deluged with calls and emails after posting signs on his company’s trucks that say he’s not hiring anyone until President Barack Obama leaves office.

A redneck small business owner in the deep south, who could  have imagined that? He draped himself in the flag with his non subject related mention of military service, but failed to thump the bible while he was at it. What kind of Neoliberal Reactionary is he?  [MSH]
