Sunday Shitbird Blogging: Learn to Speak Tea Bag

A fine artist by the name of Mark Fiore hits the nail on the head with this amusing yet 100% serious little cartoon.
Thanx, Mark. LOL!
Listen, Traitorbaggers…You have all the rallies you want to with your Koch funded, bought-and-paid-for D-list celebrities (yes, that includes MLK’s ignorant, greedy niece).
You already lost 95% of your primaries. It’s over for you and the rat-bastard filth that you offer as candidates.
You do, however, still have some significance as a source of humor. Hey, it’s better than nothing.
Aug 27 '10
We all know that the Teabaggers…Tea Party…whatever you want to call them, are nothing but corporate AstroTurf. But just saying that they get their money from “corporations” is far too vague to be credible.
No problem, the exact source of funding is no longer a secret….
The Koch Brothers.
They are among the richest 2%. Modern day Robber Barons who’s daddy gave them a fortune they otherwise never would have obtained.
I have always said that Libertarians are just Republicans without the sexual perversion. Now I’m convinced I’m right.
Two new members of the Radical Right have ascended to a level of treason previously occupied by only the Bush Administration and the Jonathan Pollards of the world.
They are David and Charles Koch. The source of Tea Party funding…
David H. Koch is a traitor. A spoiled, impetuous, narcissistic Billionaire daddy’s-boy who paid a hundred million dollars to modernize Lincoln Center’s New York State Theater building in order to have it named after him.
This egomaniac even paid twenty million to the American Museum of Natural History to name a Dinosaur exhibit after him.
![]()
Odd, even after all that wealth Koch, age 71, still fears being forgotten when he croaks.
Sad. Not to worry, Mr. Koch. You will always be remembered for your support of hatred, racism and treason. That much I assure you.
The Brothers Koch

Koch Industries/Georgia Pacific are glad to tell you about all the things they do and all the products they produce at their website, but one thing they just don’t mention there is that they are the largest funding source for extreme Right-Wing groups in this nation. One of which is the Teabaggers.
All the slander and bold-faced lies that are directed at President Obama originate at Koch. That is what makes them traitors both to country and people. Happily, they, through the Teabaggers, are losing. But their power is not to be taken lightly nor are their anti-American intentions.
The New Yorker has the rest. Read and understand what we’re dealing with…
The Kochs operate oil refineries in Alaska, Texas, and Minnesota, and control some four thousand miles of pipeline. Koch Industries owns Brawny paper towels, Dixie cups, Georgia-Pacific lumber, Stainmaster carpet, and Lycra, among other products. Forbes ranks it as the second-largest private company in the country, after Cargill, and its consistent profitability has made David and Charles Koch—who, years ago, bought out two other brothers—among the richest men in America. Their combined fortune of thirty-five billion dollars is exceeded only by those of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation.
These views dovetail with the brothers’ corporate interests. In a study released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a “kingpin of climate science denial.” The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus.

Summary Of Current Events
Where to begin…..
1) Murdoch Helps Ailing Republican Fundraising:
News Corporation/FOX Newz owner and sole dictator, Rupert Murdoch, has donated the meager sum of one million dollars (Dr. Evil comes to mind) to the Republican party.
Of course, coming from a guy who would sell his mom to the Taliban if the price was right, this doesn’t surprise.
Just another foreigner trying to influence American elections.
2) The Ground Zeroes:
Just can’t understand why the media debate about this continues. Oh, that’s right, the MSM loves to stir shit up.
I’ll make this clear for all the Teabagger type primates out there who just don’t seem to get it.
In America we have this thing called The First Amendment. You know…the one you hide behind while you obstruct the public discourse….
And the First Amendment protects religious institutions from discrimination.
In other words, there is no legal recourse to stop it.
Freedom of Religion means “for all Americans", not just you loathsome, knee-jerk scumbags.
No Mosque…. no Temple, no Churches.
Get it? Now STFU.
3) The Baghdad Blues:
In the beginning, we told you it was a big mistake. We told you that those who advocated invading Iraq had ulterior motives. We told you that the consequences were dire and that deposing Saddam Hussein was an error of epic proportions.
Now, with combat personnel ready to leave, we again tell you what will come. Baghdad will go to hell in a bucket when we leave, and there’s nothing that can be done to change that.
All truces will be off, tribal warfare will rule the day.
Just like we told you it would years ago.
Nice work, Bush/Cheney and the PNAC. You got ours and their killed for absolutely nothing.
4) IDF - Inhuman, Despicable Fools:
An Israeli IDF soldier decided to make a mockery of a Palestinian prisoner and adorn her Facebook page with it.
Poor thing, she has no idea what the problem is. Granted, there’s no naked pyramids or electric shock (in the pics that is), but principal is principal and obviously IDF soldier Eden Abergil’s parents failed miserably to teach her the virtues of the Torah.
Once a sub-human, always a sub-human.
5) Wikiwinks:
Julian Assange, the Wikileaks honcho who fell from US gov’t grace after exposing previously classified documents about the war in Afghanistan, was all of a sudden accused of being a “rapist” and a “molester” in Sweden.
Turns out it may be some bullshit from a source as yet unknown.
Mr. Assange, allow me to introduce you to the CIA.
You’ve just been a victim of the oldest and most effective smear tactic in the book. Now you know what you’re dealing with.
I wish you the very best of luck.
6) The Grahammy Awards:
This absolute horseshit doesn’t really deserve a thoughtful response, but a good, venom-filled rant might just handle it.
Franklin Graham, the fucktard son of the iconic Rev. Billy Graham, is the force behind the patently false accusations that President Obama is a Muslim.
A few points, Mr. Graham…
a) You are a disgrace to your father’s legacy. A shameful little whelp who displays all the theological sincerity of an onion.
b) You are a lying, fake Christian. You do not love the Lord, Jesus of Nazareth. You have no faith and are as spiritually vanquished as a human can be.
You intentionally bare, for the want of money and power, false witness against another.
You do this while hiding behind the name of God. An eternity of misery is all that awaits your twisted, diseased soul.
c) You are a traitor to both your country and your people.
d) Fuck you.
7) Mehlman Comes Out:
Ken Mehlman, former Republican National Committee Chairman and devout Bush worshiper has informed his family and friends (and us) that he is “Gay”.
Mehlman, who spent much of his career demonizing Homosexuals is yet another Republican to set a new definition for the term Hypocrite. First we had former Florida Rep. Mark Foley skipping through the congressional page’s dorm looking for starter weenie, then there was Sen. Larry (wide stance) Craig and his airport sexcapades. Former Republican Speaker of the House, Dennis (Jabba the) Hastert, turned out to have a little sugar in his blood too.
Now we have Ken Mehlman as Republican Fem DeJour.
Well, Kenni. You have it all wrong.
Like your girlfriends mentioned above, you’re not “Gay". You’re a bitch. There’s a difference.
8) Viral Bigotry and the Violence it Breeds:
An Arab-American cab driver in NY was attacked and slashed by some drunken filmmaker for no other reason than being a Muslim.
Ahmed Sharif, who has been in the US for 25 years and who’s children are all born here, was slashed in the throat and numerous other areas by the coward, Michael Enright, who attacked from behind.
See there, you piece of shit Teabagger losers. This is the kind of thing that your bigoted hatemonger bullshit causes.
This gov’t would do well to round you all up and put you in concentration camps. Maybe then you’ll realize that you’re not the only beings that matter.

Phil Roe's Truthiness Woes Pt. 4
Yep! It’s yet another Phil Roe mailout where not only does he do us the honor of exposing his narrow ass for us, he puts it in the ringer for us too.
And he even sends it to me via email.
Guys like Roe (much like Bush) are an anomaly, rarely does the target do the blogger’s job for him.
The Latest Lies of Tennessee First District Congressional Rep. Phil Roe from his own desk….
Last week, House Democratic Leadership reconvened the chamber for a special session to vote on legislation that would provide another bailout costing $26 billion. Instead of a bailout to corporations – which I oppose – this bailout was for states that have not displayed the will to balance their budgets. We’ve seen less than satisfactory results from previous corporate bailouts, and now Democratic leadership is determined to spend billions more on this. We can’t keep going down this reckless path because it’s unsustainable.
“Less than satisfactory"? Maybe in the eyes of corporate stooges like yourself, Dr. Roe, but to the 8.5 Million workers whose jobs were saved/created, I’ll bet the results were more than “satisfactory". Job loss means nothing to you, Roe. If it did you wouldn’t be a Republican.
Your partisan lies and ditto-head rhetoric completely ignore the fact that the recession YOU AND YOUR PARTY put this country in would have been the ruination of our society by now had the downward spiral not been arrested.

Remember when we were told by the President that we needed a $700+ billion “economic stimulus package” to keep unemployment from climbing above 8 percent? With the unemployment rate stagnate at 9.5 percent, all we have to show for the billions of government spending is more people out of work and a deficit that’s threatening our national security.
If not for the stimulus package unemployment would be over 20% as I write this, perhaps worse. Again, you lie.
As far as more people being out of work, why don’t you hire someone, Roe? I have.
And while you’re at it, tell your Republican corporate masters to stop sitting on their bailout funds and start hiring people for a change.
And please do explain how our “national security” is in danger. It just sounds so hollow and vacant coming from someone who just voted “NO” on a Defense Appropriations bill that, amongst other things, provides for our (OMFG!) National Security….
HR 5136
-Requires the Secretary of Defense to designate the F135 and F136 engine development and procurement programs as major subprograms of the F-35 Lightning II aircraft major defense acquisition program (Sec. 802).
-Authorizes the appropriation of $32.42 billion for the Defense Health Program for fiscal year 2010-2011 (Sec. 1516).
-Authorizes the appropriation of $3.42 billion for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles for fiscal year 2010-2011 (Sec. 1509).
-Authorizes the appropriation of $3.46 billion for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund for fiscal year 2010-2011 (Sec. 1503).
-Authorizes the appropriation of $71.2 million for the operation of the Armed Forces Retirement Home (Sec. 1421).
Link to Legislation: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:hr5136:
You were Army, Roe. You voted against MRAPs for our troops? That’s actually disgraceful now that I think about it. You know, Jody Boy kind of disgraceful.
I’ll bet you’d vote for the AFRH funding if someone you cared about was in it. If in fact you do care about anyone.
I don’t see it.
As a matter of fact, you’ve voted against legislation to strengthen our National Security, well…every single time.

Rep. Roe continues to blather…
Worse still, rather than offsetting the cost of this new spending by finding some spending to cut, the Majority instead chose to raise taxes on American companies that also have international operations. —- When we are trying to create jobs, why do we make the cost of employment higher?
1) Getting out of Iraq is a major “cut in spending". Spending that would have never happened if not for your party and the Bush/Cheney lie machine. You want answers as to where the money went? Call Crawford.
2) Yep, no more tax breaks for Corporations that take jobs out of America and give them to other countries.
3) “Cost of employment higher"? The only jobs Republicans are willing to create are in China.
And just before he ran out of ass to talk out of, Congressman Roe proclaimed…
My policy to promote job growth is to create an atmosphere that rewards hard work, keeps government out of the way of innovation and incentivizes our businesses to invest in new jobs and equipment. I believe our economy works best when we reduce regulations, lower taxes and allow families to keep more of what they earn.
1) You couldn’t be more vague if you said nothing at all, Dr. Roe. How, exactly, do you propose to “create and atmosphere"? What reward? Higher wages? Not from you, you voted against HR 2847, the Senate Jobs Bill.
You were for the Unemployment Benefits Extension before you were against it (same link as above).
2) The present gov’t has promoted more innovation in technology than you can even identify. Investments in Biofuels, Solar, Geo-thermal…
More “innovation” than we got during eight miserable years of Bush/Cheney and Republican majority. As a matter of fact, I like the Democratic visionary plans far more than I like the sound of your “atmosphere", Roe.
I mean…go back up there and read what you said. Then read this…
The Current Situation
The country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21st century. For too long, politicians in Washington have been beholden to special interests, but no longer. Our new, responsible energy policy recognizes the relationship between energy, the environment, and our economy and leverages American ingenuity to put people back to work, fight global warming, increase our energy independence and keep us safe.
The Solution
*
Chart a new energy future:
President Obama has a comprehensive plan to chart a new energy future by embracing alternative and renewable energy, ending our addiction to foreign oil, addressing the global climate crisis and creating millions of new jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.
*
Invest in clean, renewable energy:
To achieve our goal of generating 25 percent of our energy from renewable sources by 2025, we will make unprecedented investments in clean, renewable energy – solar, wind, biofuels, and geothermal power.
*
Fight climate change:
We will invest in energy efficiency and conservation, two sure-fire ways to decrease deadly pollution and drive down demand. And we will hold special interests accountable as we finally work to address climate change and its potentially catastrophic effects.
See, Roe. That’s a “policy". Your “atmosphere” is a joke. Lip service to the morons that buy into your lies and deceit.
You’ve accomplished nothing as a Rep. Nothing.
3) Our economy works best when jobs are kept here at home and Americans are well paid enough that paying taxes doesn’t hurt as much. Our economy works best when average people have health care that doesn’t put them into a lifetime of debt if they get injured or sick.
Most of all, our economy works best when our gov’t is void of Republicans that give Wall Street and the giant corporations that own it carte blanche to rob their employees so fat-asses in suits can have Million dollar bonuses once a month.
4) “incentivizes” is not a word.
Once again Philthy one, thanx for making things so easy for me. Nothing like a candidate that mails out incoherent nonsense and pure bullshit to help me free up some time.
You do all the work for me, Roe. I hope you find my atmosphere rewarding.

Oh Yes, They Call Him The Streak...










Not only is TN House Representative Glen Casada an idiot and monumental loser, but he also managed to raise a pervert in the process….




Glen Casada’s son arrested for Streaking….
From The Tennessean!:
FRANKLIN— State Rep. Glen Casada said he was “very displeased” that his 19-year-old son participated in last weekend’s “Naked Mile” through a Franklin neighborhood.
Clark Casada and 11 other males were arrested on indecent exposure and contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges Sunday night for running naked through Sullivan Farms subdivision, police say. One of them was a minor, who was charged with public exposure. All of the charges are misdemeanors.
After receiving a call from a neighbor, police caught the group around 11:40 p.m. running naked along Donelson Creek toward Mack Hatcher during what the group refer to as the Naked Mile.
“We are displeased with that immature action,” Glen Casada said. “His mother and I are very displeased. We dressed him down very sternly. He’s 19 years old and he’s my son, but he is a mature adult. He is being punished.”
The men told the police that the Naked Mile is an annual event for them. This is their second run, according to the group.
Timothy DiPeri, 19; Jared Bozeman, 21; Travis Carter, 18; Mason Albert, 19; Trent Griffin, 20; Robert Watt, 18; Josh Helton, 20; Spencer Martin, 20; George Kakoti, 19; Casada and a juvenile were arrested.



Listen, I have no real problem with streaking. We did that shit in the 70’s and it was funny as all hell.
Americans, especially those who mistakenly believe that they’re holy, are far too prudish about nudity and that is testimony to our regressive society. But when it’s the kid of one of the biggest asshole politicians in Nashville, it’s fucking news, baby!








UPDATE: The Casada youngin likes Facebook ![]()

Phil Roe: Give Social Security To Wall Street
Tennessee First District Congressional Rep, Phil Roe, seems to have a short memory and an even shorter concept of what the average American elder means to us as a people and a nation…
Ah, those who went before us. They toil, struggle, build, plan, implement….Then they die, and leave the fruits of their labor for us to enjoy.
Indeed, we are nothing without them and their sacrifices. The very least we can do is try to make their latter years as comfortable as possible and at least provide them with the dignity we hope those who come after us will provide for our sorry asses.
From those who went before us we inherit progress. The innovations and ideas of their time. Building blocks upon which we lean and hopefully improve.
All that progress…
No wonder Republicans hate the elderly.
Seventy five years ago Democrats fostered the method and mechanisms by which we would show our profound appreciation to our aging benefactors. It’s called Social Security, and our elders live better, longer and more fulfilled lives because of it.
The ultimate example of unadulterated Socialism. We, as a nation, using our hard earned money to lift up and say thank you to our predecessors.
Now, Republican lawmakers want to destroy the only lifeline our elderly, our parents and grandparents, have to see them through their golden years to that time of dying that awaits us all.
Rep. Paul Ryan - R of Wisconsin, all Republicans including our sitting Congressman Rep. Phil Roe, and some Blue Dog Democrats are embracing the disastrous course of privatization. Ryan’s “Roadmap to Hell” is the absolute destruction of our social services.
Privatizing Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid…Completely doing away with The Children’s Health Insurance Program.
All to save a buck they would immediately waste on something far less important.
What this amounts to is simple. We all saw it with our own eyes. Corporate Wall Street whores getting bailed out with our money because of their grotesque incompetence…And now Republicans want to hand the controls of our social services to the exact same bunch of fools.
Social Security works, it’s benefit modest in most cases and therefor needs to be strengthened, not exposed to cuts.
The following is a press release from Mike Clark for Congress. Phil Roe’s Democratic opponent for the TN-1 Congressional seat….
Mike Clark for Congress
Press Release for 8/12/10
GOP Assault on the Elderly:
Does Congressman Phil Roe Support the Destruction of Social Security and Medicare?
Congressional Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the ranking Republican on the House budget committee, has taken the liberty to draw up some sort of “road map for America’s future” that is intended to eliminate the federal debt by the year 2063.
Trouble is, this “road map” calls for dramatic, damaging cuts in critical services such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. The only life lines most of our elderly and disabled citizens have.
Many in the first district are afraid their current representative, Phil Roe, will support these dramatic cuts. His rhetoric in recent months indicates he’s concerned more about the politics of greed than he is about the people he represents.It is expected that many Representatives in the pocket of greedy Wall Street gamblers will actively support Mr. Ryan’s attack on our elderly citizens, but Ryan’s “road map” is so radical and potentially damaging that even hard core conservatives like Newt Gingrich will not endorse it.
The Ryan Road Map to Oblivion would raise taxes for most middle-income families. It would privatize a very large portion of Social Security and would bring an end to Medicare-as-we-know-it and most of Medicaid. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) would be totally vanquished. The “road map” would replace these critical programs with a voucher system. The value of which would surely erode as time goes by, subsequently causing the insurance purchased to cover less and less in the long term.
Such astonishingly callous and unfeeling attacks on some of our most frail citizens are inexcusable and simply cannot be tolerated in a civilized society. We ask Dr. Roe to clarify his position, publicly, on this very dangerous and derogatory attempt to place wealth before health.
Democratic First District candidate Mike Clark asks, “Where do you stand, Congressman Roe? Do you or do you not support Ryan’s “road map?”
Clark added that Democrats are no more in favor of privatizing Social Security or vouchers for health care now than during the disastrous Bush years, when the Republicans - like Ryan and Roe - ran the economy into the ditch with the help of their Wall Street cronies. “We stand for bringing the bacon - in services, and assistance - home to the people of North East Tennessee, not serving it to Wall Street on a silver platter.”HJ Cannon- Mike Clark for Congress
All major polls, Google any one of them, show that Americans overwhelmingly oppose any kind of cuts to these vital services. Such cuts are a direct assault on our loved ones, regardless of politic.
Your mom’s benefits in the hands of Wall Street? You gonna stand still for that? I’m not. I love my mom, peoples. Anyone who tries to hurt her is my mortal enemy.
Vote Democratic in November 2010. Do it for your country, do it for your mom and dad.

State Farm Insurance: Hiding Behind God
We all know that the Insurance Industry is the single most corrupt, rip-off industry that exists. Hence the dire need for the Health Insurance legislation that was passed by congress earlier this year.
There is obviously still much more to do concerning reform. Looks like Homeowner’s Reform is a good candidate…
They call it “Acts of God". You pay the premiums, a tree falls on your roof and they deny the claim. Blaming “God” for the fact that they’re too greedy to pay.
That’s the Insurance Industry for ya, you spend your money and bet your well-being on their integrity, only to find out they have none. You lose.
Recently, retired Bristol Firefighter Rick Simpson returned home only to find that heavy rains had caused the back wall of his basement to collapse. Severely damaging the integrity of the structure and destroying personal possessions.
But, the Simpson’s have homeowners insurance. That should at least take care of the house, right?
Wrong.
Simpson, who buys his insurance from a State Farm branch operated by Jerry Green,……
2332 Volunteer Parkway
Bristol, TN 37620-6702
phone: (423) 968-9221
….was told that there would be no pay out because “God” did it.
My, how convenient.
This age old insurance scam should have been banned long ago, but due to the courage deficiency we normally find in gov’t, these flim-flam men continue to get away with their decietful practices.
Now, if you’re one who doesn’t believe in God, this should make you pretty mad. If you’re one who does believe, it should absolutely outrage you.
These lame excuses remind me of that blithering idiot, Pat Robertson, blaming Hurricane Katrina on God. Not only is it incomprehensibly asinine, it reeks of blasphemy too.
So today, because of “God", the insurance carrier feels he is without responsibility to deliver that which was paid for.
State Farm has a long history of such rip-off activity. From Hurricane Katrina to California Earthquakes and far beyond, State Farm Insurance is one of the longest running scams in the nation. “God did it"! I’ll remember to use that excuse when I get arrested for fighting in a bar the next time. “Honestly, officer. God punched that dude in the lips, not me.”
This incident with Rick Simpson brings this fraudulent activity down to street level so it’s easy for all of us to see that indeed, it could have been us.
So, Jerry Green and State Farm Insurance, for all you do this blog’s for YOU.

Teabaggers LOSE: Ramsey Bites The Dust
The Republican Primary turned out as best it could. The kinda-sorta moderate Republican places first while the Teabagger candidate looks like the fool he has always been.
Tennessee Republican voters might just deserve a little credit for avoiding the Right lane, but they won’t get it from me.
When it comes to politics, things are backwards and goofy enough here in Tennessee. At least now we don’t have to worry about sinking to even newer lows by having an empowered Teabagger movement in the most powerful position in the state.
Today, Tennessee told the Teabaggers to kick fucking rocks by handing Ron Ramsey his ass on a silver platter.
As much as I hate to admit it, choosing Haslam over Zach Wamp and Tea Bag Boy was a wise choice by a voting block that isn’t exactly known for wisdom.
From The BHC:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. –
BY ERIK SCHELZIG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
and DAVID McGEE
Bristol herald CourierNASHVILLE, Tenn. – Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam withstood relentless attacks from his rivals to claim Tennessee’s Republican gubernatorial nomination Thursday.
Haslam had the dominant fundraising advantage in the race against U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp and state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, pouring at least $1.5 million of his own money into the campaign during the closing weeks.
With 90 percent of precincts reporting, Haslam had 327,375 votes, or 48 percent, to Wamp’s 199,388 votes, or 29 percent. Ramsey had 149,844 votes, or 22 percent.
Ramsey fared far better in portions of his native East Tennessee, easily winning his home county of Sullivan and Johnson County, which is part of his state Senate district.
He won Sullivan County by more than a 2-to-1 margin, garnering 59.7 percent of the votes cast, compared to 28 percent for Haslam and almost 12 percent for Wamp.
The Blountville native received 11,186 unofficial votes in Sullivan County, compared to 5,244 for Haslam and 2,205 for Wamp.
Ramsey won Johnson County by a 3-to-1 margin and easily won in Unicoi.
Haslam, the Knoxville mayor, was the top vote-getter in Carter, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins and Washington counties.
Lost in Carter County? Why, Ronnie…why on earth did that happen?

Buh bye, little Ronnie. You, the Tea Bag F*gs and team Gregory are officially history in the state of Tennessee.
Let this be a lesson to you. Nobody likes traitors.
Nobody wants fanatic loonies, racists and two-bit professional whiners in positions of power.
You are not “the people", you are not “America” and most of all, you’re damn sure not Tennessee.
Now crawl back under your slimy rocks and stay there. Winter is coming soon and you don’t want to freeze your little exo-skeletons off. Much less see your candidates lose like they will in November.
Face it, you’re just not our cup of tea.
