Bill Moyers on the shutdown and republican intransigence…
We’ll file this under the heading ,”Only *MY* magical religious beliefs and bigotry are acceptable”.
This article has to do with the already wrong notion that a voucher system is somehow good for public education and the whiplash inducing reversal of course that happened once it was known that school vouchers could be used to fund Islamic education instead of the intended target, the ‘acceptable’ fundegelical christian bullshite-schools.
“Valarie Hodges admitted that when she supported Governor Bobby Jindal’s school voucher program, she only did so because she assumed the religious school vouchers could only be used for Christian schools. Religious freedom means that everyone’s free to follow Valarie Hodges’ religion! She explains,
Ah, religious tomfoolery meet the facepalm.
“I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America’s Founding Fathers’ religion, which is Christianity, in public schools or private schools. I liked the idea of giving parents the option of sending their children to a public school or a Christian school.”
Contrast this with her next quote on the topic:
“We need to insure that it does not open the door to fund radical Islam schools. There are a thousand Muslim schools that have sprung up recently. I do not support using public funds for teaching Islam anywhere here in Louisiana.”
Religion certainly does not breed intolerant tribalistic sectarianism – OH, Hells no!
  The United States is regressing quickly under the burden of its plutocratic elites. Public health and the rights of women are under onslaught by ignorant religious ideologues who espouse intensely anti-woman rhetoric that undermines the ideals of civilized society. You would think that idiocy on this scale would quickly be quashed and laughed out of the public sphere. Wrong – its becoming the common parlance…
 “The nationwide assault on reproductive and abortion rights that effects everyone with sexual health needs (so, that’s everyone, pretty much!) and has come to be known as “The War on Women” may claim its first state as a victim soon. In Mississippi, the final abortion clinic left is fighting for its survival. Bloomberg reports:
Beginning July 1, all abortion-clinic physicians must have admitting privileges at a local hospital under a law passed by the Republican-led Legislature and signed by Republican Governor Phil Bryant in April. At the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the state’s sole remaining clinic providing elective abortions, none of the three physicians who perform the procedure has been granted those privileges.
“Mississippi may become the first U.S. state without a dedicated abortion clinic if the Jackson facility fails to come into compliance. That would mark the most visible victory for the anti-abortion movement, which has fought to abolish the procedure in the face of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing a woman’s right to have one.”
  The Republicans in Mississippi are busy legislating themselves back into the stone-age. I sincerely hope that Canada will not follow their foolish example.
How many ‘wtf’ moments are republican political candidates allowed before being branded too stupid to breathe? Michelle Bachmann must be getting super close to the limit by now. I’m not really sure what to do with this level of intellectual bankruptcy on her behalf. Coupled with the puerile servitude of fox news, its almost too much to stomach in one sitting. It is chilling to see that this level of incompetence is allowed anywhere near a position of political power.
Making stuff up on during a televised debate and advocating for torture are apparently okay, small bumps in the road on the campaign road I guess.
Liberal Viewer, with the help of Bill Mahr and Steven Colbert poke at the fetid miasma aka the Republican Primary debates, and attempt to find coherence. Good luck with that.
