Of course they are, why wouldn't they?

And tomorrow, if he started drone striking the shtein out of them, they'd talk about how he's a cold blooded murder and drone strikes are unamerican.

I'd love to see him walk out to his press conference podium...clear his throat and look right into the foxnews camera and give them the double middle finger and walk out.

Rick Perry compared homosexuality to alcoholism.

Mildly interesting if essentially meaningless study about how liberals and conservatives rate themselves on a political scale.

Quick summary:  1-9 scale; 1=far left (liberal); 9= far right (conservative); 5 = moderate

Note:  The +/- I included is deviation from 5 ("moderate") - I threw this in myself just for the sake of comparison.  Hopefully my math is correct.

Self-Identified Liberals:
Rate themselves:  3.88 (-1.12)
Rate Congressional Democrats:  4.3 (-0.7)
Rate Congressional Republicans: N/A (Not included in article)
Rate Obama:  4.23 (-0.77)

Self-Identified Moderates:
Rate themselves: 5.37 (+0.37)
Rate Congressional Democrats: 4.08 (-0.92)
Rate Congressional Republicans: 6.63 (+1.63)
Rate Obama:  3.88 (-1.12)

Self-Identified Conservatives
Rate themselves: 7.4 (+2.4)
Rate Congressional Democrats: 3.42 (-1.58)
Rate Congressional Republicans: 5.76 (+0.76)
Rate Obama: 2.93 (-2.07)

Hah...so Congressional Republicans are moderate and Obama is a far left democrat to conservatives....yikes.

This was taken from the comments section in a story on FB about the Khattala capture:

Great point by supporter James Holland: we deported to Cuba Elian Gonzales, who was an unaccompanied minor seeking asylum, whose mother died seeking asylum in the US. Tell Megyn Kelly from FOX the rest of the media and our treasonous and anti-American government and the usuper: stop the hog wash, there is no law preventing you from deporting nearly 50,000 illegal minors, deport them immediately, stop violating US immigration laws and undermining our national security or we will try you for treason

Gotta love Tea Partiers.  They're so sane and rational.

[ice grillin you]

[PhillyPhreak54]
