How can you stand even listening to such BS from obviously intententionally misled and/or misleading Reptilians,,, oops... I mean Republicans that are obviosly on the show just to SPIN what Jesus said about capitalism? Time to whip some capitalistic coinchangers me thinks.
... "Ye shall Know Truth and the Truth Shall set you Free"..... guess the Republicans are the exception to The Rule because they'll never admit it.... Once again, I skip half your show because off these asses trying to SPIN Truth into some kind of deception!.
And to answer your question, regarding being anti-catholic or anti-Jesus, since Reagan the Republicans have always put their obsessive/compulsive/fixated greed above people since "trickle down demonomics" began with Reagan in the 80's, the answer can only be anti-Jesus because Jesus NEVER put profits above People!
...get these asses off your show Thom - they do nothing except make people NOT want to watch it... including me.
I guess this needs to be shared, the content is real good. I appreciate that you have shared with us. This is definitely an enlightening blog. From the top actors to the top actresses in Hollywood, their outfits are on sale. Do visit here at Angeljackets.com.
This is why we need a Constitutional provision that says if the Senate doesn't bother to vote on a nominee within a reasonable amount of time (I'd say 6 weeks), then the nominee automatically gets in as if he or she were a recess appointee.
Why do people continue to refer to Obama as "our first black president"? He's only half black. At best we could call him "our first not-all-white" president, or "our first mulatto president"; or, to paraphrase George Jefferson (I'm going to offend a few people with this): "our first zebra president". Obama is our first mixed-race president, and that's still a positive step forward.
If it were up to me, I would require the media to drop the first-anything phrase and just say "he's our president".
For me, personally, he's "our first president younger than me"; but that's nothing special about him...I'm just getting old.
Scott Walker must have gotten the word that the big money was not going to go to him so he dropped out of the race. Still, what the 1860 US Army officers guide said about enlisted men applies to Scott Walker, "Enlisted men are basically stupid but extremely cunning and sly and bear considerable watching". He's a poisonous snake in the grass and this is probably not the last time we see Scott Walker. Maybe the oligarchs thought that backing someone that goes around openly bragging about bringing down wages was not going to win them The White House.
Hard finding words to describe this attitude of US politicians... their lack of understanding of your constitution and obvious disregard for their duty to constituants is thoroughly disgusting
I guess no other Billionaire wanted to buy Walker after the Koch Bros. said they were thru with him and some other billionaire could buy him. It looks like he was such a sleazy person no one else wanted their name anywhere near him, now if only the other 15 would follow his advice and drop out, but that would take away from the comedy this group is.

I present to you following short video as scientific evidence that the precautionary principle demands we engage in drastic and massive efforts immediately to reduce the probability of Near Term Human Extinction (N.T.H.E.):
A brief explanation of why positive feedback loops are uncontrollable, once they start. Incremental measures will not stop positive feedback loops from starting. Therefore, incremental measures will not work to reduce the high probability of N.T.H.E. from a multiplicity of positive feedback loops. This is why immediate and drastic action is warranted now.
For more detail on the subject of positive feedback mechanisms:
Why positive feedback mechanisms will not be prevented by incremental measures.
David Wasdell is a credentialed scientist. He was a reviewer in IPCC studies. He explains how the SCIENCE was downplayed by lawyers from various governments. This was done so the science predicting catastrophe (i.e. NON-linearity of degradation acceleration) WOULD NOT be made public. The only hard position reached by the IPCC is that climate change is anthropogenic, PERIOD. Since then things have improved somewhat on the truth about the gravity of our situation, but the public is still mostly in the dark about the existential threat calmly explained here.
David Wasdell makes it clear that strategy geared to today's symptoms is insufficient because causal elements have a 40 to 50 year lag. Incremental measures based on present observations are, not just doomed to fail, they guarantee that they will fail in the future. Only massive, government sponsored action NOW has a chance (and even that is not a sure thing, as is stated in this video) of somewhat ameliorating the probability of catastrophe. He clearly states that a massive extinction event destroying over 80% of life on earth will be triggered by about 30 positive feedback loops that credentialed climate scientists agree will overwhelm the ability of our technology to stop them.
Also, these questions I answered may help you to understand the gravity of our plight. And, as you surmised, it's not that we can't handle high temperatures, it's that we can't feed ourselves in a 4 degree plus C world (from the preindustrial world baseline).
Despite what the IPCC reports say publicly about staying within a plus 2 degree C target, scientists in the IPCC already admit that is a lost cause BECAUSE of the government lawyers that forced the massaging of the IPCC science. Governments are doing absolutely nothing to stop CO2 emissions. The incremental measures to reduce them are woefully insufficient.
These are the questions:
-What is the reliability of projections which suggest trends such as CO2 emissions, species extinction, deforestation, etc. will continue at a rate destructive enough to conclude HP (high probability) of NTHE?
-What are the chances that natural positive feedback mechanisms in these areas will burn themselves out or be counter-acted by negative feedback mechanisms?
-What are the chances that scientific technology will progress quickly enough to offer viable solutions (I believe you say this is a very good chance)?
-What are the chances that the above technology, or other mitigating policies, will be implemented by corporations and governments which can make a difference when push comes to shove (I believe you say this is a low chance, but quite possible)?
-What are the chances that consumers may intentionally or unintentionally act in ways to mitigate destructive environmental trends (for ex, becoming too poor to consume as much)?
-What are any other known or as of yet unknown factors which may serve to mitigate the destructive trends?
Finally, don't believe any of the fossil fuel industry funded propaganda out there about increased CO2 concentration in a warming planet being "good" for plants.
Did you know that Walker support FDR's view of public unions? FDR felt that unions and private industry could have "good faith" talks, and work out an agreement that balance the needs of the firm with the needs of the workers .... But he was opposed to Public Unions since the unions could elect both the union representative and the public representative, and that this would no be good for the public nor the nation.

about these Rightist panelists:

How’s this?
Thom contracts with them that they
respond to remarks which Thom makes.
============================================
The Right’s Ambivalence re the Bible

The Right tends wholly okay
with the Bible’s holy way
of opposing sins linked with sex,
to which vigorously the Right objects.
But away from the Bible they stray
where the Bible loudly says “Nay!!”
to sins linked with Capitalism’s greed,
which causes Earth and its People to bleed.

Tom gives a lucid overview of the Repub stratagy on appointing judges.
But how is it that Repubs can legally so gum up the works?
While the founding fathers constructed brilliant checks to
block the rise of a king, in todays world those checks are exactly
the levers that Repubs are exploiting.
Until those flaws are amended, each majority party is going to sing the same
sad song about the evil minority party.

If they keep control and take the W.H. plan on total war on them. Anything goes. They deserve it ten fold. Disgusting traitors.

Say they that it is the Muslims who threaten us, …
… yet it’s these very Paranoids who are the “they”
whose politics are maliciously stealthily gettin’ us.
=======================================
I think both are possibilities, but someones religion should not be a factor in determining who our president is because this country is secular.
Ha ha you said pulled out!
