GOP: Wants You Stuck on Stupid

The elephant -- the real King/Queen of the jungle (just ask any lion) -- represents the GOP symbol.

The elephant is known to be very cognitively blessed. In particular, the elephant has a well deserved reputation of never forgetting.

Elephants are incredible creatures.

GOP, Obama, scorch the earth fighting and white supremacy.

GOP slam Prez for returning POW

Editor's Note:

I have been sitting on this post for a minute. I initially wrote it as a vent piece from the heart. After reading it, I thought it was too divisive. Not wanting to feed the us vs. them fire, I put this post on ice.

However, after watching this past week's relentless attack on President Obama (see the pic: a new low in crazy), I decided to post it.

As a political junkie, I am not offended by harsh criticism and caustic policy debate among elected officials: I know how sausage is made.

Joe the Plumber: ‘Your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights’

Samuel Joe the Plumber Wurzelbacher --Tea Party hero -- to the families of the kids killed by Elliot Rodgers:

‘Your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights’

"Phenomenal Woman"

With sadness, reflection and heavy hearts we mourn the passing of Maya Angelou.

A literary voice revered globally for her poetic command and her commitment to civil rights has fallen silent.

Dick Cheney: Hillary Clinton "bears responsibility" for Benghazi

Dick Cheney has chimed in on the so-called Benghazi controversy:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said on “Fox News Sunday” that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “bears responsibility” for the State Department’s chaotic handling of the Benghazi terrorist attacks in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012.

“She was Secretary of State at the time that it happened -- she was one of the first in Washington to know about it,” Cheney said. “I think she clearly bears responsibility for whatever the State Department did or didn’t do with respect to that crisis.

The attack on the compound led to the deaths of four Americans -- Ambassador Chris Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

“I do think it’s a major issue,” Cheney said. “I don’t think we’ve heard the last of it yet.”

Are you fricking kidding me? DICK cheney?

Can anyone say Iraq War?

America's ruling family: The Koch Brothers exposed

"We want your liberty"

Robert Greenwald's "Koch Brothers Exposed" is must see TV (see below video).

To better understand the power behind the modern GOP, Tea Party, Supreme Court (Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas), conservative Think Tanks follow the money.

The money trail goes directly to the Koch brothers: in particular Charles and David Koch. With a combined wealth of over 100 billion dollars, the Koch brothers have nefariously used their loot to hijack the American political process.

The Koch brothers political agenda: re-shape the American society into an extreme John Birch society.

The Daily Kos: What conservatives want

My Saturday pix thanks to Sean Connors and the Daily Kos:

Was Donald Sterling right: African Americans don't give back like Jews?

“History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”  

― Carter G. Woodson

For sure, file this under:

Even a broken clock is right twice a day...

Donald Sterling, in his clueless rambling state, uttered a strong rebuke of black folks who obtain status and wealth.

Donald "The Mouth that Roars" Sterling: Magic Johnson should be ashamed of himself.

First rule of crisis management: When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

With stunning ignorance, Donald Sterling, in a interview with Cooper Anderson, continued to dig himself from a hole into a crater.

In this surreal interview, LA Clipper combative owner (hopefully soon to be ex-owner) appeared to have sealed his fate.

Scandal's Olivia Pope -- played by Kerry Washington -- the ultimate "fixer" could not rescue Sterling from the predicament created by his mouth.
