Bachmann Says Dole And Frist Represent A ‘Non-Pro-Freedom Agenda’ Because They Want Health Reform
Bachmann Says Dole And Frist Represent A ‘Non-Pro-Freedom Agenda’ Because They Want Health Reform
Today on her radio program, Laura Ingraham interviewed guest Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and asked her about the ideological direction of the Republican Party. The pair discussed recent statements made by retired GOP Senate Majority Leaders Bill Frist (TN) and Bob Dole (KS) in support of some type of comprehensive health reform.
Dole has called for Republicans to become engaged in the process, stating “we’ve got to do something” to solve the current crisis. Frist has endorsed the Senate Finance health reform bill, and has called out “people on the extreme” in his own party for falsely labeling President Obama’s health reform as “socialized medicine.” Clearly incensed by these comments, Ingraham and Bachmann traded barbs trashing the former Republican leaders for daring to veer away from a “pro-freedom agenda”:
INGRAHAM: Of course. God bless Bob Dole he just came on our show, I have great respect for the man. And also for Frist. But Frist presided over a pretty disastrous situation in the Senate.
BACHMANN: They lost.
INGRAHAM: They lost. And Bob Dole lost how many times on a national level? I guess I’ve lost count. [...] That Republican ideology and that Republican outlook has been a losing outlook. That’s why President Obama wants more of us to be like them.
BACHMANN: Because we want a pro-freedom agenda. And he’s trying to throw people around who he believes will increase a non-pro-freedom agenda.
Listen here:
Bachmann and Ingraham’s vitriol wasn’t only reserved for Republicans who dared to express a willingness to support reform. Asked if the New York Times’ recent profile of her has generated a lot of “hate mail,” Bachmann replied that although she does receive a lot of mail, it is “because Nancy Pelosi has made me a top target.” Ingraham then began mocking Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives and the highest-ranking female politician in American history — by making hissing and cat noises, then shrieking, “she doesn’t like powerful women.”

October 21st, 2009 at 7:41 pmShelly forgets all about the freedom robbing patriot act passed under RBush and RSenate. Winklers, go figger.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:43 pmBachmann and Ingraham are bashing Dole and Frist now. But I wonder what they will say when the Republicans get trounced in the next elections. The Republicans are going further to the right and that is going to scare independents but that point is lost on these radical right. They are going to have to learn a lesson the hard way.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:45 pmZooey@8, Yeah really. I mean the Repugs like thier women attractive, dim-witted and in the kitchen. I don’t know about Ingraham, is she married? She’s the kind of harpie who would drive men away.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:47 pmBoy, when these two get into bed together they sure make a lot of noise! I’ll bet the neighbors are banging on the walls.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:48 pmpags@10, But that would be the LOGICAL conclusion. One thing I have noticed about Repugs, they ain’t logical.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:49 pmWow, never actually though hearing someone bad mouth Bob Dole would bother me.

As a rule of thumb, any large organization like a corporation or the government, given the choice between the logical/reasonable solution or the dumb one, they always choose the dumb one.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:55 pmOne of the most evident things about Bachmann is that she could be the poster child for the unhinged right.
She’s the face of the insane and she knows it – even though she would not accept my description of the movement.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:57 pm*
Let her go. Let the dogs eat! The more divisive the GOP becomes and the more they eat their own, the sooner the party will be no more.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:58 pmHer speech patterns are unnaturally relaxed for an adult, even more so for a legislator who must win elections to keep the job. Come on—”throw people around”? “Increase” an agenda? People are dying without health insurance and this slack-jawed moron is nattering on about a “pro-freedom agenda” vs. a “non-pro-freedom agenda”.
She’s not some sot cornering an unwitting out-of-towner at a bar and droning on through a haze of alcohol and valium, but she sure sounds it.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:58 pmShorter Shelly: My sponsors are long suffering shareholders who need your welfare!
October 21st, 2009 at 8:01 pmI love it! She is the face of the GOP!
October 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pmLaura Ingraham, upon hearing the name Nancy Pelosi, making animal noises and “then shrieking, “she doesn’t like powerful women.” ”
That’s rich. But the best Ingraham story is in “Blinded by the Right” by David Brock when he recounts how she got falling-down drunk and was crawling across the floor of a nightclub trying to get him to go to bed with her after she found out he was gay. She’s one of the people who led Brock to believe he was surrounded by stark raving mad maniacs instead of serious political journalists.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:05 pmIngraham and Bachmann ; an (IQ) Force of 1 ……….Maybe
October 21st, 2009 at 8:06 pmMaybe she’s trying to boost the sale of her doll. Rile up the base, and they rush out to buy the doll. With the doll in hand, they then go to her site and register their email addresses so that they can receive updates on doll sales.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:08 pmMaybe if the right keep eating each other, then eventually there won’t be any left.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:09 pmNon pro-freedom because they are pro health care. So that must mean that if you are anti-health care you are pro-freedom, and you can use that freedom anyway you wish, even when you are in your grave.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:15 pmIt’s so funny to hear these fools on the right talk as though the majority of the American people agree with them..All 20% of them..They dont seem to get a clue.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:18 pmJeff Foxworthy would say..”If only 20% of the voting public are willing to admit that they are a Republican and yet you still believe that you are in the majority..You might be a wingnut”.

Not R men! They need someone harping on them all the time in those screechy voices — to atone for their internet p0rn addictions, hooker habits, and little boy fetishes.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:19 pmINGRAHAM: Of course. God bless Bob Dole he just came on our show, I have great respect for the man. And also for Frist. But Frist presided over a pretty disastrous situation in the Senate.

Ummmm , freakish ladies ; Obama garnered nearly SEVENTY MILLION VOTES.
Bachmann would equal that number if she won her ridiculously ignorant conservative district almost FOUR HUNDRED terms.
Ingraham would have that many listeners if her show was played for 3 ………………thousand millenia…..
October 21st, 2009 at 8:23 pmBACHMANN: Because we want a pro-freedom agenda. And he’s trying to throw people around who he believes will increase a non-pro-freedom agenda.
What? What does any of that mean? Seriously, that last sentence is complete gibberish.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:28 pmMichael Moore should do a documentary on the outstanding piece of crazy known as Michelle Bachmann.

I heard today that Bach-nut is a sure-in for reelection! What gives in Minn? Have they put all the crazies into one district?
October 21st, 2009 at 8:38 pm…if it weren’t time to make dinner, I would say more.
BUT…since time is limited I’ll settle on this.
Looney!
October 21st, 2009 at 8:42 pmBring it on Backmann…. tell your constituents they need to die or go bankrupt with our present HC system as health care reform is a non pro freedom agenda in your silly pathetic mind.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:44 pmIn America, ceos of for-profit health insurance corporations should have the “freedom” to bankrupt you.
Thanks Rep. Bachmann. Those of us that comprise the top 1% income earners appreciate your efforts. The rest of America greatly outnumbers us, so we need shills like you to further our ultra-minority agenda.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:47 pmBACHMANN: Because we want a pro-freedom agenda. And he’s trying to throw people around who he believes will increase a non-pro-freedom agenda.
The poor and the middle class are anti-freedom , batshit crazy lady ?
That’s an interesting theory ……….
October 21st, 2009 at 8:49 pmBACHMANN: Because we want a pro-freedom agenda. And he’s trying to throw people around who he believes will increase a non-pro-freedom agenda.
A non-pro-freedom agenda?
October 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pmWould’nt that be an anti-freedom agenda?
Go back to school Shelly.
Michele Bachmann’s idea of a “pro-freedom agenda” is for corporations to have as much “freedom” as possible to steal from Americans, to corrupt politicians (especially her), to do away with as many American jobs as they see fit and to destroy anything and everything that is akin to actual freedom.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:58 pmIngraham doesn’t like powerful women.
So is she gonna like quit her job ?
And does this mean she doesn’t like Palin or Bachmann ?
October 21st, 2009 at 8:59 pmHow about a semi-pro freedom agenda?
October 21st, 2009 at 9:00 pmOr a Pro-Am Freedom agenda?
freedom to do what, batshit crazy shelley? the freedom to die for lack of health care?
once upon a time she was mildly amusing in a crazy catlady sort of way. however, she slipped over into the annoying obsessive compulsive crazy no one want to be around.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pmBachmann giving Bob Dole a lecture concerning pro freedom and politics. The woman is ridiculous. I was never a fan of Dole but I do have more respect for the man than she apparently does.
Bachmann and Ingraham were absolute fools. The exchange had nothing redeeming to walk away with. You just shake your head.
What in the hell is the Republican Party thinking.
I am beginning to realize how desperate the Republican Party has grown. If this is the future face of the Republican Party, they are in trouble!
October 21st, 2009 at 9:03 pmI’ve had enough of these evil people and if anyone is against the public insurance option, and they don’t change their wicked ways, there is no doubt they are going to pay for it in the afterlife.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:07 pmi fully support this new repunklican strategy of putting their batshit crazy members forefront and center as the new “face” of the party. i hope i pans out for them
October 21st, 2009 at 9:07 pmMore of ‘new’ GnOP’s insult on the collective intelligence of the country. No fan of Dole but I at least have a little respect for him- but he represents the ‘old’ GOP who lost.
The new GOP- Palin and Bachman are undoubtedly there because of their not too unpleasant looks. Steele because the other side has a black guy. I haven’t heard anything of substance from any ‘new’ GOP member and I doubt I ever will.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:11 pmI think Bachmann and Ingraham are jealous of Pelosi. Eat your hearts out ladies, or maybe wenches, Republican wenches..
These two are freaky, it’s Halloween time. These two need no costumes.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:12 pmBob Dole is one of the last true conservative statesman, alwys willing to bargain and compromise, never playing dirty.
That Bachmann and Ingraham would trash him says more about them and the future of the GOP.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:12 pmWow…seems a lot of us are on the same page. Didn’t look at the previous posts before I posted…didn’t mean to be redundant.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:14 pmUh, you get hate mail because you are a hateful, batsh!t crazy moron, that’s why.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:29 pmI for one am happy that the new republicans are going to the crazy right.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:35 pmBack in the day we on the left had to deal with Goldwater republicans, real consertives that had a point of veiw and made sence.
Lately the batcrap crazy wingnuts are showing their true colors.They have caused the fall of republican moderates which is only good for the Dems.
As a libral, I respected republicans like Lincoln Chaffee but now they are gone. And soon will Olympia Snow be gone.
It’s just getting to easy.
Keep going wingnuts..you are our best political pawns.
No troll love for the crazeees?
October 21st, 2009 at 9:35 pmLet’s face it. The GOP is literally dying. The election in New York is a fasinating example. The GOP is purging ALL the Moderates. The are basically eating their own. When your Party’s numbers are in the tank, you LOOK for solutions. People like Ingraham and Bachman are doing a disservice to their Moderate brethren. I live in the North East. The GOP brand is so bad, people won’t admit to being Republicans. They mays get some gains in 2010, but with the changing demographics, and the surge of the Latino population, they GOP will be doomed.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:38 pmPD,
I saw that on Maddow..What a glorious mess that is..Makes me giggle.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:47 pmNew@56, Keith and Rachel are the only ones I will watch. Watch now, That rape victim is on right now. I didn’t realize that the GOP Senators were getting flack in their own districts. MSM failed to mention this. Are you shocked? I’m not.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:51 pmOh no. We are being clicked down by a mysterious troll.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:52 pmWhere are you troll? I see the click downs, but not you. I guess the demise of the Repug Party doesn’t sit well for you. Well, get used to it.

October 21st, 2009 at 9:57 pmWell PD..The Gop should be called out for defending the indefencable..But it’s great when they speak out to defend. Its makes great politacal ads for the Dems.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:58 pmRightwingers are so intrenched in the idea of anti-libral ideals that they forgot what is “the right thing” to do.
There..I voted you up
October 21st, 2009 at 10:00 pmHoly Bats In The Belfry Batman!
That big bad Bozo Bachmann is feeding on the carcasses of arch GOP villains Frist and Dole after she diagnosed them as brain dead from the house floor!
Yes Robin. Always remember, there comes a day when even the most vile GOP villain finally meets a gruesome political end. Today, Bozo Bachmann revealed her disgusting but necessary function as the supreme eater-of-her-own in the stomach churning food chain that is today’s GOP.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:01 pmMaybe the click down troll can answer our questions about B.S. Shelly.
Click down troll. . . .
Why?
October 21st, 2009 at 10:02 pmHaven’t you heard? Non-pro-freedom is double-plus good.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:03 pmWhere is the friggin troll? I guess the subject of the Repug’s demise and the rape of that young woman is somewhat hard for them to defend? Where are their specious arguments?
October 21st, 2009 at 10:04 pmI think we have a coward lurking.
BOO!!!
October 21st, 2009 at 10:04 pmI support Bimbo Shelley’s pro-freedom agenda . . . until the pros are free, none of us will be free.
Oops, sorry there. I was overcome by the fumes for a moment.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:07 pmWTF? The trolls LOVE to talk about how we are weak on defense, how we are ‘Socialists’ and how the ‘Liberals’ are destroying America. And yet, they have no problem letting people die because the lack Health Insurance? Armchair warriors are cowards.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:09 pmHow much freedom do you have when you have to stay in a job you hate because you need health insurance?
How free are you when astronomical medical costs eat up your entire life savings?
How much freedom comes with having your home foreclosed on?
How much freedom do you have when you’re desperately ill and you can’t relax because you’re bargaining with your insurance company for life-saving treatment.
How free is the husband who has to join the military to ensure cancer treatment for his wife?
Bachmann and her ilk need to STFU.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:10 pmOur scared little troll must be getting a callous on his finger from all that clicking down. Come out, come out where ever you are Republiscum.

I believe it has to do with their thought prosses, or more correctly, the lack of.
Their daddies told them through life that if your not a gun toting god fearing redneck then your just not American.
These folks, even if thay ca’nt afford health insurance, while laying in their death bed, will blame librals for corporate regulation.

October 21st, 2009 at 10:23 pmShut up Shelly. We almost managed to make it an entire week without your babbling nonsense reminding the fine people of this country that my beloved Minnesota just may have the craziest Congressperson. But the main objection is that you are unqualified to comment on freedom.
As a slave to an extremist delusion you can’t understand the basic concept of freedom. Your ignorance of what the Founding Fathers really stood for, plain for all to see, and bizarre insistence that they were designing a Christian theocratic state demonstrates a profound ignorance of the specific freedoms they enumerated.
Then there’s your, equally bizarre, statements indicating you Believe the Rapture is imminent. I don’t expect such a moron to understand why such a Belief makes one unqualified to discuss the future. Smart people will understand that one who doesn’t Believe in the future is, by definition, utterly incapable of making informed decisions.

I have long since abandoned efforts to contact the esteemed Congressperson. And, as pointed out, she wouldn’t recognize a rational thought if the Mother-ship translated it for her. I just need to vent.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:34 pmSomething that Bachmann doesn’t realize is that Frist and his family are the major shareholders of the largest hospital corporation in the world (HCA).
Even he sees we need healthcare reform.

October 21st, 2009 at 10:34 pmTo P.D.,
Since no one seems to have answered your question: No, Laura Ingraham, like Ann-thrax Coulter, is not married. She was apparently engage to Dinesh D’Souza for a while, but he ended up marrying someone else. A few years ago she adopted a daughter from Latin America. She toned down her anti-gay rhetoric after learning that her own brother is homosexual.
P.D. says:
October 21st, 2009 at 10:36 pmZooey@8, Yeah really. I mean the Repugs like thier women attractive, dim-witted and in the kitchen. I don’t know about Ingraham, is she married? She’s the kind of harpie who would drive men away.
Bob Dole and Bill Frist, damn hippies.

October 21st, 2009 at 10:46 pmNo it wouldn’t. But this is a VDT.
However, in this case, we have Vote Down Trolls (VDT) here. I’ve noticed that within seconds of posting a comment I get a vote down too. That’s a VDT.

October 21st, 2009 at 11:00 pm@116 –
Don’t forget step 12 — Having had a political awakening, we tried to carry this message to other Republicans and to practice Democratic principals in all our affairs!
October 21st, 2009 at 11:01 pmstill the booger eating behavior does have some basis in evolutionary biology….
Booger-eating and trolling are two prime indicators of Darwin’s First Corollary Theorem of Retro-lution. It states that “given low-IQ, confinement in an echo chamber and lack of intellectual stimulation, certain members of a species will regress to a lower life form”.
If he were alive today, Darwin would readily recognize the entire republican party as retro-lutionary.

Shut up Shelly. We almost managed to make it an entire week without your babbling nonsense reminding the fine people of this country that my beloved Minnesota just may have the craziest Congressperson. But the main objection is that you are unqualified to comment on freedom.
As a slave to an extremist delusion you can’t understand the basic concept of freedom. Your ignorance of what the Founding Fathers really stood for, plain for all to see, and bizarre insistence that they were designing a Christian theocratic state demonstrates a profound ignorance of the specific freedoms they enumerated.
Then there’s your, equally bizarre, statements indicating you Believe the Rapture is imminent. I don’t expect such a moron to understand why such a Belief makes one unqualified to discuss the future. Smart people will understand that one who doesn’t Believe in the future is, by definition, utterly incapable of making informed decisions.

How much freedom do you have when you have to stay in a job you hate because you need health insurance?
How free are you when astronomical medical costs eat up your entire life savings?
How much freedom comes with having your home foreclosed on?
How much freedom do you have when you’re desperately ill and you can’t relax because you’re bargaining with your insurance company for life-saving treatment.
How free is the husband who has to join the military to ensure cancer treatment for his wife?
Bachmann and her ilk need to STFU.
Brilliant! Thank you.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:06 pmWhy are the repugs lying and diverting chimpy’s sins on President Obama?
This is the shit that pisses me off about the repugs and their faithful teabaggers.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:06 pmBachmann and Ingraham belong to the exclusive “Republican Club”. Dole and Frist are out because they are losers.
The drama queen Bachmann doesn’t have a clue to the value of these two politicians.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:11 pmShe may not last as long as Palin.
While the demise of the republican party is a pleasure to watch, these women are dangerous.
Bachman fanned the flames of the census scare and encouraged right wing terrorist to kill an innocent man.
I’m not letting her get away with no responibility in that.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:16 pmGame of Life @ 125,
The reason the Republicans don’t have to take ownership of the last 8 years is because they are the anointed ones from “C” street. They have exorcised all the evildoers (socialists) from the Party and are now pure to lead the country to its rightful place as the world dominator.
Since Obama is one of the evildoer socialists, he can be blamed.
The Republicans are once again purified to govern the country, their god said so
October 21st, 2009 at 11:21 pmBachmann is the republican party and the republican party is Bachmann. Finally she’s out in the open and we see how messed up she is. Just think, she could have remained silent and we would still be in the dark about her true nature.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:29 pmNinerFan says:
Laura Ingraham, upon hearing the name Nancy Pelosi, making animal noises and “then shrieking, “she doesn’t like powerful women.” ”
That’s rich. But the best Ingraham story is in “Blinded by the Right” by David Brock when he recounts how she got falling-down drunk and was crawling across the floor of a nightclub trying to get him to go to bed with her after she found out he was gay. She’s one of the people who led Brock to believe he was surrounded by stark raving mad maniacs instead of serious political journalists.
Wow that’s news to me!

She’s a Republican. I think that answers your question completely.

October 21st, 2009 at 11:53 pmHere’s a prime example of WTF is wrong with insurance companies. Can’t understand for the life of me how anyone can “champion” them or not want to see drastic changes if not eliminating them completely thru a single payer system.
I’ll try to be brief.
I pay almost $8 per working hour for insurance thru a trade union and STILL have a $1200 family deductible. Should be cadillac insurance right?
Last year I had to jump thru insurance hoops to get a MRI on my lower back. It showed some disc bulges but my neurologist doesn’t want to operate yet as the problem is only occasionally painful and the numbness in my leg is bothersome but not debilitating. OK…but when its ‘out’ it’s excruciating. Almost two weeks ago my back went out and I called the doc for advice because an ER visit would have been expensive (deductible not reached) and they don’t do anything but hand out pain meds. He set me up with a pain specialist to get a cortisone shot and nerve block the next day. I was told I needed a driver so my wife took the day off to take me in.
As I was being prepped for the shots a nurse came in and pulled the doc and RN out of the room. When they returned they told me sorry…no shots today because the insurance company wanted to review the situation before approving the shots. The doc was almost as pissed as I was. He said; “I’m sick and tired of insurance companies dictating the care I can give my patients”.
I called the insurance company today to find out WTF was going on as nearly 2 week have gone by. They said they haven’t finished reviewing yet but they didn’t feel it was that urgent. They also informed me that those shots are expensive- nearly $1000.
Again WTF? I have $600 left on my deductible and I pay nearly $1300 per month for insurance. They would have only been out $400 plus the office visit!
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE WITH THESE CRIMINALS!

And to think the greedmeisters refuse to acknowledge that our current insurance system damages american productivity. Here we have a skilled tradesman unable to work at full capacity because he’s in pain.

October 22nd, 2009 at 12:17 amFrist’s father and brother were founders of Columbia/HCA. Bill made about $30 million on the stock. His family’s wealth was said to be nearly $1 billion.
Columbia/HCA had been bilking Medicare while simultaneously handing over kickbacks and perks to the physicians who steered their patients to its hospitals. In 2000 they pleaded guilty to 14 felonies. Over the next two years it paid $1.7 billion in civil and criminal fines.
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:31 amAh, the freedom to be raped by Republican-controlled private health insurance companies… Are Republicans just completely masochistic or completely stupid or completely insane? You decide…
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:36 amMycelium, I don’t know how secure your industry is, but from my point of view we’re all just one layoff away from finding out what it’s like with no insurance. I’m uninsurable.

October 22nd, 2009 at 12:51 amDo Bachmann and Ingraham understand that their idol Jesus helped the poor and the sick and didn’t steal from them to give to the rich?
Bob Dole knows what it’s like to live life with a physical disability and sympathizes with those in need. Maybe Bachmann should stop looking in the vanity mirror and get to the bottom of how she can have the intelligence of the lowest 1% of society and claim to be anything but mentally retarded.
Money well spent would be any investigation as to which doctor(s) have signed off on Bachmann’s bill of a stable mental health!
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:06 amMichelle and Laura, Crazy Shelley and Hell’s Very Own Harpy, damn, what a dynamic duo.
But what you’ve done is great, go forth and disrespect your parties’ elders, show ‘em what fur, etc. I think our two lovely ladies are on absolutely the right track; I would encourage them. Let no moderate escape your wrath, Misses Shelley and Harpy; those moderates are not much better than, oh, socialist RINOs, and the ones that claim you need to move to the center are even worse – commie RINOs they are. Watch out for those independents, too; backstabbers, jackbooted freedom hating backstabbers, especially that Lieberman fellow. By God, if they don’t think like you, if they don’t toe the right side of the party line, they’re just disgusting and un-American, and they ought to be locked away. Now get out there and tell everyone.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 amWhen Michele and Laura see me in my groovy new clothes they’ll really flip out!

What kind of “pro-freedom agenda” are you seeking you misguided little cnut? The freedom to let your corporate masters from the for profit healthcare un-insurance provider death panels to murder anyone for any trumped up condition they feel suitable by denying coverage to anyone at will?

October 22nd, 2009 at 8:01 amI never heard such a over use of the word “freedom” among this ultra conservatives. What the hell does that mean? They seem to be wanting us to live in some sort of theocracy. Freaky stuff.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 amI agree Leslie, they seems to be arguing for ‘Freedom to be sick’, ‘Freedom to be driven to bankrupcy beacuse of healthcare costs’, ‘Freedom to be crushed by increased premiums’, ‘Freedom to choose between buying your presciption and buying food’. I prefer an older idea: ‘Freedom from want’, ‘Freedom from fear’, etc.
We need to challenge their use of the word ‘Freedom’. They feel that they are the sole keepers of this word, and I’m not willing to cede it to them.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 amBob Dole — a WWII veteran who left part of his body and soul on the battlefield — is anti-freedom???? Can someone shut this fool up please.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:10 amAn Evangelical “Christian’s” Night-time Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray to God my soul to keep
I voted for Bush the Texacutioner
Who put more people to death than an executioner
The highest execution rate of any governor in history
How he was elected president is still a mystery
The biggest serial killer since Timothy McVeigh,
mocks Karla’s pleas for clemency during her final days
I hold stoutly to my world view
Despite being contradicted by what is proven true
I believe the earth to be only 4000 years old
“Intelligent” design is the view I hold
Even though evolution explains how life changed and adapted
verified by countless experiments not retracted
the scientific facts should be stricken as inadmissible
teaching creationism to our children is permissible
Take some parts literally, others out of place
And I can use the Bible to judge the whole human race
Pat Robertson said 9/11 was a punishment from God
That innocents died instead of him he didn’t find odd
For lifestyles of feminism, liberalism, and being gay
Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson said over 3,000 people died that day
That God will punish them for their remark
Pride has hidden from a judgmental heart
“After the last tree standing is felled”
“Christ will come back” I heard James Watt tell
you see evangelicals don’t care about generations
because they won’t have to be here to face elimination
“compassionate” conservatives fantasize about journeying through the air
As Left Behind: The Series plays out below everywhere
While pollution they caused brings about ecological collapse
It doesn’t bother them that people will die perhaps

Nutjob Republicans attacking Bob Dole is not the way to win elections.

But then again, you guys think that the current Bible is too “liberal” for you, so maybe you didn’t pay attention in church or sunday school when this was being taught.
