1. We all know that a Republican "act of mercy" is far from a Biblical one. They believe Jesus created Free Markets so the most worthy among us could get rich at the expense of everyone else. 

   Someone named Kennedy calls them out:

   There is is no mercy in a system that makes health care a luxury. 

   There is no mercy in a country that turns their back on those most in need of protection: the elderly, the poor, the sick, and the suffering. 

   There is no mercy in a cold shoulder to the mentally ill. 

   This is not an ‘act of mercy.’ It is an act of malice.”

   All Dems would be well advised to call out the Hypocritical Republican Liars in the same way.

2. I am being sued by an oil and gas company from Texas.  Here is my video/appeal 

    

   Post Independent article:

   SG Interests files libel lawsuit against environmental activist Kolbenschlag

   http://www.postindependent.com/news/local/sg-interests-files-libel-lawsuit-against-environmental-activist/

    

   Otherwise I will just note, that I find the Complaint against me to be without merit and the lawsuit filed by SG Interests to be baseless and frivolous.  

   (Some folks have asked my thoughts on it all, lack of posting here, but the case is going to the judge to decide and I am not discussing any particulars. The video sums up what I think about the situation overall and the merits of the case against me are pretty obvious IMO).

5. Ye olde Prosperity Gospel schtick.  Can I hear an Amen?!?

   How Prosperity Gospel Delivered Rural Iowa To Republicans

   As I pondered my order, I realized that I could hear the women’s earnest prayers. While I tried not to listen, it was impossible not to. When I heard what they were praying for, I was stunned. They weren’t saying grace, they weren’t praying for good health, the safety of the high school basketball players who had a game that night, or for world peace. They were praying for money. Cold, hard, cash.

6. Love it, Michael! Paul Ryan is dirt. What I really can't stand about the neo-cons is the jealousy. They are terrified that people with nothing will get a tiny bit, which, obviously, leaves a tiny bit less for them, when they already have more than enough.

   1. In more Prosperity Gospel news, did you know that RepublicanJesus™ wants all of his followers to get really, really rich?  So insanely rich that it makes the Jews jealous and convert? 

      Somewhere a village is missing its idiot preacher. 

      Last month, “respected prophet” Cindy Jacobs preached at a church in New Jersey, where she prophesied that God wants Christians to be rich so that there will be a “great harvest” of Jewish conversions when they see their Christian neighbors becoming “profoundly wealthy.”

      “What the Jews have, we have,” Jacobs proclaimed. “However, we have more when we’re in Christ because the Holy Spirit is inside us, empowering us to do the good works we’re called to do.”

      “I want to say to you,” she continued, “that one of the things I believe that’s going to bring a great harvest of Jews is the Christians becoming so profoundly wealthy … that it’s going to make them jealous. The wealth and the riches that we’re able to obtain is going to make them jealous.”
