Carly Fiorinna is an expert?

(via C&L)

Carly Fiorina on the Meet the Press panel:
I find the attack surprising from many perspectives. First of all, capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in the history of the world. The way you do that is with a job. Third, successful companies create jobs. 
 Failing companies destroy jobs.  

"Take me, for example," she did not continue, "I failed spectacularly at HP and I destroyed all kinds of jobs!"

"Also, please continue to book me on your TV shows as an economy expert," she did not conclude.

Congratulations, You're Engaged to a Gay Man!

Which would be great if you were also a gay man, but since you are a lady, not so much.


This seriously isn't a truckload of red flags for you?




So none of these dozens of people realized what a terrible idea this was?

How is the only possible answer to this not "I'm sorry but no, I will not marry you, and I think we should see other people, bye!"


Also, I see Oregon plates in the beginning, so I'm starting to think maybe Portlandia is a documentary.

Oh, this is not going to end well.

Or maybe it ends really really well, depending on your point of view.

A camp for sports and avoiding gay sex

May 24, 2012|By Kathy Boccella

This weekend a group of men will gather at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary to how learn to throw a spiral, make a three-point shot and hit a long ball — and to resist homosexual urges.
Courage, a Catholic group that encourages people with same-sex attraction to remain celibate, is holding its 13th annual sports camp in which “men physically compete on the field while enriching their souls through a daily regimen of prayer, confessions, mass, and the Liturgy of the Hours,” according to the group’s website.

Oh my God. What better way for a gay man to remain celibate than by spending time in a locker room with other fit, sweaty gay men?

  

I know I'm even straighter now, having seen this picture.

 The member, who asked not to be identified, said the weekend was a “tutorial sports event” and “not some sort of brainwashing camp that tries to make someone into something they’re not.”

Oh, a tutorial. So, I guess it would go something like this:

Step 1: Put on your super-hetero pants.







Step 2: Be sure to stretch first, to avoid injury.

 

Take as long as you need, stretching is important.

Step 3: Don't be afraid to play rough. You're not a sissy, are you?

Step 4: Hit the showers!



You know what, maybe sports wasn't the best idea.

 

Tucker Carlson doesn't seem to realize what network he's on

Because he says this on FOX:




How do you sit there in the FOX studio and wonder why don't conservatives start their own media outlets?

Oh, right. These people live in an alternate universe in which President Obama is a bomb-throwing radical leftist and conservatives have no voice.

Faith and Freedom?

Why do they always use words like "freedom" and "liberty?"






They always call themselves things like "Liberty Council" or "The Religious Freedom Coalition," or some such nonsense.





 What "freedoms" or :liberties" do they supposedly support?







 
The freedom of same-sex couples to marry?   Not on your life!

The freedom of women to control their own reproductive stuff?    Hah! Good one!

The freedom of adults to smoke pot or do whatever they do with other drugs?    Get real!

They certainly don't support the freedom of Muslims to build mosques in NYC. They don't support the freedom from warrantless wiretapping, as long as their guy is running the program anyway.

So is it just cynical marketing, like they know they don't support freedom just like McDonalds knows that their food doesn't taste good, but who's going to buy it if they admit that?

Or do they just have a different definition of freedom than us normal people?

I think they really do stand up for freedom, just not the kind of freedom a sane person should want. They believe in the freedom of the strong to oppress the weak, the rich to oppress the poor, the corporation to oppress human beings. And that's why they always tout "small government," because government interferes with that.

They stand for the freedom of insurance companies to deny you coverage.
They stand for the freedom of power companies to spew coal smoke into our air.
They stand for the freedom of straight kids to bully the gay kids.
They support the freedom of employers to pay you whatever wage they damn well want to.
And they support the freedom of those employers to create unsafe working conditions if they feel like it.
They support the freedom of agri-business to give you salmonella in your eggs.


So, yeah. Faith & Freedom, why the hell not?
