FOX News: Fred Phelps Supporter on Sean Hannity & Alan Colmes

"Fred Phelps' perverted congregation has been protesting the funerals of soldiers, believing that God is punishing America for its "approval of sodomy". This is a member of his "church", Edith Phelps Roeper, on Hannity & Colmes." 

From Pro Segger

When even Sean Hannity takes a stand against religious fundamentalists for attacking soldiers who died because they were gay and they "deserved to die", you know religious fundamentalists are wrong. Sean Hannity is someone I agree with as often as Houston sees snow in July and who on a regular basis defends fundamentalist fascist. (Whether you want to call them Christian or not) People who you could also questioned their mental sanity. People who for example have questioned whether Barack Obama is an American citizen and have said he's an illegal immigrant. Who've questioned his religion, calling him an African Muslim from Kenya, questioning his love for America.

Sean Hannity has escaped mental patients (better known as the Far-Right) like this on his show on a regular basis. But on this show decided to go after a group that calls itself a church. The "Westboro Baptist Church", they are really a family with some non-family members. It's a group of twenty people. If this is a church, then the New York Yankees are a hockey franchise. They are no more a church, then Elvis Presley is alive. (Sorry, die hard Elvis Supporters) Or Rick Santorum is a Liberal. They are a group of Far-Right borderline anarchist bigots, who hate homosexuals and the military. And Sean Hannity was calling them out on that.

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Westboro Hate Group (as I call them) these people are no more Christian than Bill Maher. These people are about hate pure and simple, people who claim to love America, but hate Americans. It would be like someone saying they hate meat but love cheeseburgers. When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of them in March, 2011, in a hate speech case involving a family who lost a relative in Iraq I believe and the Westboro's protested against this family because the solider was gay, I defended their right to do that.

Hate speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has been very clear about that. But good sane people have the responsibility to call out these mental patients when they go after good people. To keep their message from becoming anything other than what it is, which is hate, pure and simple. And so decent people don't take them seriously and actually believe the garbage (to be kind) they are dumping onto the country.

It's rare that I agree with anything Sean Hannity says. If he said it was cold in Buffalo in January, I would check the weather report for Buffalo. But he did a great job in this video of calling out the Westboro group for exactly what they are: a group of mental patients that are lucky they haven't been committed to a mental institution.

Co-Progressives: ‘Tea Party vs. The Constitution- ObamaCare Edition’

Source:CO-Progressives- covering Tea Party opposition to ObamaCare.

“Constitutional Accountability Center interviewed several tea partiers in front of the Supreme Court during oral arguments in the Obamacare cases in March 2012. Many of them feel strongly that the law is unconstitutional, and many of them proved that they have absolutely no idea about what the Constitution actually says.” 
This video could be very slanted and that CO Progressives went to the American Dumbass Convention (also known as Dumbasses of America) that was gathering in Washington and found the Dumbasses that know the very least about the U.S. Constitution and just decided to interview those people. Instead of interviewing people who’ve at least heard of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution and can actually explain it. COP talked to people talked who apparently aren’t even aware of why they oppose ObamaCare (also known as the Affordable Care Act) let alone can articulate why they think it’s unconstitutional.

Daily Worldwide News: Mitt Romney- ‘Speech to Tri State Tea Party’

Source:Daily Worldwide News- Governor Mitt Romney (Republican, Massachusetts) speaking to the Tri-State Tea Party.

Source:The Daily Post

“Mitt Romney addressed the Tri-State Tea Party in Philadelphia on April 16, 2012 here it is.” 


In a way I feel for Mitt Romney, I don’t feel sorry for him, but it’s almost impossible for me to feel sorry for anyone worth 200M$. But I feel for him because he almost has to go back to the future for him to fit in the Republican Party.

Mitt Romney is a Northeastern Republican that probably looks up to Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater and others. But now running for President in a Southern, religious, populist party, that now looks up to Jerry Falwell and the Southern Baptist Convention. And sees Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan as Liberals.

Imagine that, Barry Goldwater and Ron Reagan Liberals. Basically the two fathers of the conservative movement, the two men that put conservatism on the map in American politics, as Liberals. Which would be like calling Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann Libertarians. Or calling Ron Paul a Socialist.

If the Tea Party was something of its own, not so in bed with the Christian Right, like they are lovers having affairs with other people’s spouses, then maybe I could believe the Tea Party would get behind the Mitt Romney’s of the world.

This is why Mitt Romney doesn’t fit in with the Tea Party. He’s from Massachusetts, he was their Governor. He’s Mormon, he’s a Northeastern Republican. The Christian Right considers Northeastern Republicans part of another political party, like the Democratic Party. Back in the day Mitt supported equality for homosexuals, meaning they shouldn’t be discriminated by law, because of their sexuality. And still holds that position today. Wait five minutes and maybe he’ll change it.

Mitt Romney as Governor of Massachusetts signed “RomneyCare” into law, which four years later became “ObamaCare”. Mitt doesn’t believe things like pornography, gambling and homosexuality should be against the law. The Christian Right the brothers and sisters of the Tea Party, believes they should be outlawed in America and consider them to be threats to national security. I’ve laid out the thought process’s of both the Tea Party/Christian Right and Mitt Romney. If you’re still awake and have read all of that, you know how they are completely different.

Now the populist Tea Party/Christian-Right, they are supposed to vote for Mitt for President. I’ve heard the argument that the Tea Party/Christian Right will vote for Mitt Romney to defeat President Obama. I heard the same argument made about John Kerry in 2004 that so-called Progressives (Democratic Socialists, in actuality) would vote for Senator Kerry because they wanted to defeat President Bush. And if you haven’t been in a coma all this time, you know how that presidential election went. Mitt Romney is past his time in the Republican Party.
