Frank Schaeffer (author of Crazy for God and Sex, Mom and God) was on Democracy Now explaining Michele Bachmann’s “Dominionist” religion, saying that Michele Bachmann is a Dominionist who want dominion over the government and as such, doesn’t just come from “the far right of evangelical politics. She comes from a fringe even of the fringe, which is the Reconstructionist, Dominionist movement….The religious right that I was part of is fundamentally anti-American. They hate this country. They wrap themselves in the flag, but they hate America as it is.”
Schaeffer explains that Bachmann is lying when she says that when she said she was “submissive to her husband” she meant she was “respectful”, not submissive. Schaeffer explains that Bachmann’s faith is part of the Quiverfull movement, wherein misogyny rules and where the wives are most definitely submissive to the husband. Schaeffer explains that Michele’s base will forgive her for lying about the meaning of “submissive” because hiding her extreme agenda is seen as means to their end goal of taking over our country.
The most important thing to take away from Schaeffer’s interview is the fact that the movement of the far Right is actually a movement of anti-Americanism. Schaeffer explains that it’s a lack of patriotism that tells people to revolt, to secede, to threaten the chairman of the fed, and to hate their government enough to want to defund the US Government as most recently seen in the Debt Ceiling debacle wrought by the Tea Party.
What Frank has desperately been trying to tell us is to man up and use the language the Right has been using against America for too long. The far Right has labeled secession patriotism and so it must be obvious that theirs is a world of spin and distraction – they have been using those words against Americans as a means of intimidation, while they threaten our government.
Just today in the comment section, a conservative was arguing that it was patriotic of Perry to want to secede from the US. It is most certainly not patriotic to want to secede, but the Republican Party ran someone married to a secessionist as their VP nominee in 2008. Why are Americans so silent about the utter lack of respect for this country shown by these folks?
It’s time to wake up and call these folks what they are, which Frank just did. It’s Anti-American to hate your government, want to overthrow it, champion defunding it and threaten to secede from it. And while I won’t go so far as Bachmann did when she called for investigations into who in congress was “pro America and who is anti-America”, I will suggest that proper labeling is in order.
The far Right has tried to claim the mantle of patriotism while selling a platform of anti-Americanism. Perhaps it’s time they were called out on their linguistic shell game.

Bernie Sanders, I wish this man would run for President against Obama

I'm unapologetic about this. 
This posted blog speaks for itself.  This speech is beyond inspiring.  If it doesn't make you get up and get involved some how, then I don't know what would.

Hitler Pulled This Number With The Jews

Hey Newt.  Hitler played this game as well.  Are we to assume that you have syphilis?  Because that is the source of his psychosis.

Really Newt? Are you so irrelevant that you have to stoop to this level? I guess so.  Must I remind you what a fucking moral hypocrite that you are.  I guess so.   Let's start with the affair you were having when your first wife was experiencing uterine cancer.  You cold son-of-a-bitch.  You went to the hospital to discuss the details of the divorce following her surgery? Oh yea. Your first wife was your math teacher.  Then.  The woman with whom you were having the affair while your first wife was sick with cancer and later married was also humiliated by you via another affair - your current wife.  Which occurred at the same time you were pointing your judgmental finger at Pres. Bill Clinton.  As fidelity is not one of your strong suits, are you currently having an affair on your current wife?
By the way, here is the source of the information above: http://lonestarbear.blogspot.com/2008/09/newt-gingrich-who-left-1st-wife.html 

Now on to my primary critique regarding your hypocritical moralistic - just plain bizarre assertion that the rights of the LGBTQ community and/or its secularistic connections is the cause of the economic downfall of our country.    Using the passage of the Equal Marriage Law in NY as a base, I'll apply a quick political historical timeline to rebut your insane remark.
1. G.W. Bush is illegally installed into the white house (http://youtu.be/6UM-hAbfOkA) 2. Still in the illegal G.W. Bush years - 2 wars - one definitely illegal to the tune of 4 trillion dollars.  3.  Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% of Americans = 42 billion this year alone.  4. Debt ceiling: The most recent economic woes can be directly connected to the election of the tea party republicans in Nov. of 2010. But here is a link to a timeline to give you an idea. http://www.c-span.org/Events/Timeline-of-Events-in-Debt-Ceiling-Debate/10737423199/
As you can see, the "economic troubles" that you conflate with the rise of secularistic lifestyles progressing in American culture started some time before the New York State gay marriage law.  From a biblical perspective, I will gladly rebut your hateful assertion but I challenge YOU (Please Newt Gingrich only) to contact me - theaggressiveprogressivequeer@gmail.com   with biblical passages that support your statement.  I will have citations to rebut them thereby demonstrating that you are full of crap.  .
