I want to make it crystal clear that S.E. Cupp is NOT a real Atheist!
Courtesy of The Daily Banter:
Conservative S.E. Cupp of CNN makes for one terrible atheist. In 2009, she gave an interview on C-SPAN that would befuddle the finest team of doctors the field of psychoanalysis could offer. During one exchange, she claimed she’d never want an atheist president because such a person wouldn’t believe in a higher power — the very kind she doesn’t think exists in the first place.
Now she’s back at it. The atheist who wrote a book called Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack On Christianity, stars in this short clip where virtually every single thing she says is just demonstrably false. Not arguably false. But false, as in fact-not-opinion false, up to and including her claim that conservatives welcome atheists.
Right off the bat Cupp makes a statement that identifies the fact that she simply does not understand what it means to be an Atheist.
“I don’t believe in god, but I’m not mad at him.”
Mad at who? You cannot be mad at something, or someone, that you do not believe in.
That would be like me saying I don't believe in unicorns and then saying "But I don't get angry when I get unicorn crap on my shoes."
As for her contention that "conservatism is far more intellectually honest and respectful of atheism than liberalism has been," either suggests that she is as dumb as a stump or simply an habitual liar.
Allow me to remind you how conservatives feel toward atheism.
And don't bother suggesting that Norris is an outlier. I think we all know that if he were to run simply on this statement, that he would immediately capture 80% of the conservative vote.
Oh and another thing that separates Atheists from S.E. Cupp, is that the majority of us are infinitely smarter than she is, and recognize that wearing glasses does not fool anybody!

Alaska's lone Congressman twists a staffer's arm because...well because he is Don Young and that's the kind of thing that he does.
Courtesy of Roll Call:
NBC News producer Frank Thorp V caught the late-for-the-conference-meeting Alaska Republican’s manhandling of an unsuspecting staffer on camera. Per Thorp’s Twitter feed, the aide had attempted to redirect Young to enter the already in-progress GOP strategy session through another doorway when things got physical.
“While returning to the GOP conference meeting to discuss the ongoing situation on our southern border, I was caught off guard by an unidentified individual who was physically blocking me from reentering the room,” Young said in a statement. “Regardless, my reaction was wrong and I should have never placed my hands on the young man.”
I cannot tell you how embarrassed Alaskans are to have this asshole representing us.

Bristol Palin is now pleading poverty. Yeah, who did not see this coming? Update!
Nearly six years after Bristol Palin gave birth to Tripp, her son withLevi Johnston, the perpetually warring Wasilla, AK, pair are still hashing out the details of their custody and child support agreements in court. And while their enmity is nothing new, RadarOnline.com has learned that Palin could need Johnston to pay up more than ever — because according to court documents, she hasn’t made a penny for nearly two years!
Documents filed with the court on July 24 show Palin made $0 in both 2013 and the 2014 tax year so far. By contrast, Johnston made $62,400 in 2014 and $39,067.25 the year before, according to the documents.
Palin recently filed what Johnston’s lawyers called “an extraordinarily large motion seeking entry of a judgment as to past due child support from Johnston” to help pay her bills. In particular, she has requested a judgment “from October 1, 2012, forward, at the monthly rate of $1,750.”
Both sides are arguing about the validity of temporary child support agreements they’ve had in the past, what Johnston’s real income is, and just how much he’s in arrears, with some alleged totals as high as $66,000. In the meantime, the Child Support Services Department is garnishing 40% of his current wages towards the payments.
Johnston, 24, said in an affidavit, “the amount is very taxing on my family, and if Bristol were to obtain a judgment, my wage garnishment is already at a cap of 40%.”
Dammit this is why you do not agree to a delay in the court date.
This kind of crap is going to keep right on happening right up until they go to court in September,. and I think it becoming crystal clear that Bristol has no plans to settle on a custody agreement.
And I think we can say with some certainly that Bristol is being paid under the table by SarahPAC in postage, for helping her mother battle her wig into submission, and of course for keeping her mouth shut.
And we already know her net worth.
They are just trying to bankrupt the Johnston's until they can no longer pay for representation and then the Palins get their way yet again.
Fuck this family.
Update: It looks like Radar Online did not get the facts exactly right.
This according to E Online:
"Bristol makes a good living, albeit not as much as when she had a more public profile. Because she has greater than 70 percent physical custody, her income is not used in the calculation of child support. The motion for past due support was not filed because Bristol is broke, it was filed because the parties are moving toward resolution. Part of the resolution of any custody case requires that past child support obligations and arrearages must be appropriately calculated."
So as long as Bristol is able to keep Levi's time with Tripp below 30% of the time she does not have to volunteer her income.
Interesting, no?
Update 2: By the way according to the documents there is no standing child support order with the courts right now as the 2009 case was dismissed. Which means that Levi does not have to pay Bristol anything until this case is resolved, and if he gets 50/50 there is a strong likelihood she will end up having to pay him.
That's what happened in my case at least.
However Levi HAS been making payments, and has the cancelled checks to prove it, so all of this talk of him being a dead beat dad are crap.

CNN reporter sends reasonable and appropriate tweet criticizing Fox Nation.
Weather is not climate, you willfully ignorant fucksticks. MT @foxnation: Climate Doesn’t Cooperate With Al Gore http://t.co/QKe0PkyYQK
— Bill Weir (@BillWeirCNN) July 31, 2014 I personally see nothing wrong with this.It seems informative, on point, and appropriately irritated at the fucksticks over at Fox Nation.
However it seems that Weir's corporate overlords made him walk it back like a pansy ass.
Courtesy of Politico:
On Thursday, Weir apologized, tweeting: "The glop of Midwestern guilt stuck in my chest prob won't go away until I apologize to @foxnation for name-calling. Dumb move. My bad."
No, not "my bad." It was "your good" to tell those idiots that they do not understand the difference between the weather and climate.
It is your job as a journalist to educate these fucksticks. Do not retreat from your responsibility simply for fear of being criticized for it.
After all that never seems to stop Fox from telling obvious, and bold faced lies to their viewers every single damn day!

Sean Hannity: Talk of impeachment is "stupid for the Republicans." Sarah Palin to unfriend Hannity in 3..2..1
Courtesy of Mediaite:
Rove told Hannity Republicans can’t be President Obama‘s “useful stooges” in allowing them to continue exploiting the impeachment meme. After all, the Democrats are fundraising off impeachment and Republicans talking about it would just embolden them.
Hannity agreed and said, “This is a huge distraction, and politically, it would be stupid for the Republicans to bite that apple.”
You know this just keeps getting better and better.
However wasn't it just earlier this month that Hannity was not only allowing Palin to rant about impeachment on his show, but was also encouraging her to do so?
It looks like the higher ups at Fox News took Hannity aside and let him know that this talk of impeachment makes the cable news outlet and the Republicans look like idiots.
The more the Right Wing fringe pushes for impeachment, the more the slightly more reasonable folks try distance themselves and attempt to lay it all at the feet of the Democrats.
Boy that's certainly going to make SOMEBODY a little pissy.

I don't think this should come as a surprise to anyone.
97 of 100 poorest counties in America are in Republican states. Conservative policies don't work. #UniteBlue pic.twitter.com/Sn3l0X5l11
— TruthtoConservatives (@ToConservatives) July 28, 2014 Just in case you think this is way off click here.When it comes to economics the Republicans are idiots, and yet they continue to sell the meme that it is THEY who are good at managing money.
A recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research shows that economies almost always grow faster under a Democratic President than under a Republican one.
Yeah, no shit Sherlock.
