after a phenomenal 10 hour display, and then another 2 hours of support by protesters and fellow state congressmen and women, rick perry is moving to squash wendy davis' attempt to sideline texas' ridiculous new anti-abortion bill by calling another special session specifically to pass it.
for a state that recognizes teh rights of the people and the limits of government power as much as texas - where the legislature only meets once every two years - this is an embarrassment all around.

So im discussing politics with my mom, then she brings up that they recently found WMDs in Syria and they have proof with pics, I did a search on Google to read the story and couldn't find anything recent so I asked her for her source hoping it was reliable but knowing her I assumed it would at least be some right wing bias news site, then she showed me this meme she posted on her FB profile as her "reliable" source:
her facebook wall is littered with these btw.
I laughed and said, mom that's a BS meme some 14 year old kid probably made.
She then said "I don't know what a meme is."
"This is a meme mom and here's a perfect one for you"

I am feeling like this time it will damage the R's more than they anticipate. First time it was about the deficit. That gets better, so this time it is about Obamacare. Fucking insanity.
They don't care if this costs us money as a nation. They just want to obstruct Obama with anything they can.
I am more than a little pissed. This is certainly doing a good job of increasing the hatred towards the obstructionists in the R's party.
Get your fucking children under control for Christ's sake! America, for the love of ANYTHING, vote these morons out of office!! A few selfish, power hungry, asses are taking our country down. Fuck.

They don't care what the majority thinks since they live in their own bubble. Elected in districts that are specially constructed by politicians to be reliably conservative. The biggest danger is losing the next election to someone (pretending to be) more conservative than themselves. And they have their own media in the form of right wing radio, Murdoch publications and Drudge Report.

How about a limit of one term period, set by the voters every election? Simply never re-elect anyone; they just become corporate lobbyists after suckling the taxpayers' teet until they become bloated. I think some of them might be liars as well (don't quote me on that).

Is Bachmann still a Senator? Fuck me, this woman is a fucking psycho...

“President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition,” Bachmann said. “Your listeners, US taxpayers, are now paying to give arms to terrorists including Al Qaeda.
“This happened and as of today the United States is willingly, knowingly, intentionally sending arms to terrorists, now what this says to me, I’m a believer in Jesus Christ, as I look at the End Times scripture, this says to me that the leaf is on the fig tree and we are to understand the signs of the times, which is your ministry, we are to understand where we are in God’s end times history.”
“Rather than seeing this as a negative, we need to rejoice, Maranatha Come Lord Jesus, His day is at hand,” Bachmann continued. “When we see up is down and right is called wrong, when this is happening, we were told this; these days would be as the days of Noah.”
Fucking nuts...
