Conservatives have consistently made Barack Obama's race, heritage, and birth location political issues through their wide collection of conspiracy theories. If the GOP thinks those issues are fair game in an election, than Newt's history as a serial adulterer and his questionable treatment of women are important facets of his candidacy. The Republican Party loves to tout its "pro-family" credentials, yet they embrace a man with the most offensive moral record imaginable. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
The republican party is "pro-family" because they assure each
family unlimited access to firearms.
Anyone who compares his campaign setback to Pearl Harbor
has an ego so inflated it's dangerous.
In this context, GOP political platform pro-family rabid fundamentalist Christian rhetoric out one end while their jewel is up another's—and not their wife's—end, chalk one up for Rachel saying she cares not who you are but what you do. And what they do, policy-wise, is even more egregious.
In 1938, Adolf Hitler was named Man Of The Year by Time Magazine. In 1939, it was Joseph Stalin. So, who is Governor of the Year this year?
You are freakin' kiddin' me!

No kidding, lady. Check wiki for the fast answer. Stalin made the list twice.

Check out the Zeitgeist series for extraordinarily well-done, brilliant, sharp, compelling documentaries analyzing the biopsychosocial & socio-politico-economic state of past and present affairs and why. They offer some radical but compelling solutions as well, which I can't deny is called for in this radically undermined and trending downward condition of world affairs.
If you seek truth, these are good sources for consideration. Combined, the docs have won over 30 Winner and Official Selection awards at various film festivals. Viewers on YouTube is in the millions, over 12 for its latest 2011 doc.
Sorry, but it's all a f*cking fraud, btw. These conversations we are having in the media is that of distracted, delusional children in denial. The more the masses truly 'wake up', the sooner things can change. They depend on your silence, ignorance and dereliction of duty as an American citizen demanding freedom. There just isn't time for this sh*t any longer.

who voted for walker as the govenor of the year? not the majority of the people!
I've emailed, sent letters, and tweeted Gov. Haley and many of the state and national officials for nearly daily for months. Given the Governor's and other officials' track records, I'm not surprised that I've never received a response.
A question I posed when we first heard that the bill was being blocked: are the two things related- the DMV (which gives ID's) and the voter ID bill which contains all the information people need to vote with. People can't vote without a valid ID (an expired ID isn't valid). Or is it just coincidence that a time when this bill was trying to pass that the state (ruled by the Governor) just happened to take online renewals (quicker, faster, get more people ID's ) offline?
Since the bill is sort of moot (she plans to keep fighting the ruling), I not only want her to do that, but also want her to go a step further: let these ID's (that the state government requires recognized tribes to have anyway) be used anywhere in the state, just like a driver's license. Of course, for driving, you'd still have to go take your test and everything (common sense, I know- not all that common, else more people would have it). A federally recognized tribal member (ex: Cherokee Nation) can use their tribal ID card most anywhere in the country. A state recognized tribe can use their tribal ID card to go through customs checks (yes, good enough for Homeland Security, but not good enough to vote, apparently). Gov Haley got upset during her campaign about being called "White," and played on her Sikh heritage. While Sikh is Asian Indian, in the US, it is considered Native American (there is not an "Indigenous Peoples" box to check.)
We aren't fighting for more rights; we are fighting for the right to be included in the current laws.
Thank god someone was actually working on stopping these anti-democratic laws passed by the GOP Governors. Clearly this class of the GOP has been the most anti-American group of politicians since King George in the 18th century.
I'm hoping the AG is moving on blocking the anti-democratic voter dis-enfranchisement legislation is the other states as well although it is not clear that he is.
On the other hand the Dems should be moving to outlaw the use of electronic voting machines. Whereas there is absolutely no proof at all that there is voter fraud there is tons and tons of proof that there is ELECTION fraud through the use of these electronic voting machines. Yet another sign of the pure anti democratic/American sentiments of the Republican party and their corporate allies.
I KNOW it's long. But it's dynamite.

Rachael, from reading on tpm yesterday, it looks like Newt didn't make the 10k signatures because now the Rs are actually checking the signatures.
Hmmm, does Newt have an ACORN problem? lol

Morning Rachel!
A couple days ago I read the following Article posted in Discover Magazine relating to newly discovered "Headbutting" used in Hive Mind Communication.
Hypothesis: Is it possible that collective environmental stresses create an hive-mind neurological breakdown akin to the hive-mind being "High" or disoriented? Thinking of a Hive as a kind of binary computer model with YES/NO switching, what would happen if the hive were to no longer be able to say, "No?" If the bee loses the capacity to resonate at 350 Hz before butting another bee with it's head, is it conceivable that the hive mind breaks down and that breakdown is the causative force behind Colony Collapse Disorder?
I would be curious to hear your thoughts on this matter or if you or anyone else knows anything about this. So far I have not been able to find whether or not the two groups have shared this data ... Holistically, it could be pertinent.
Love your work, you are an inspiration, truly!
