The American Family Association is notorious for several things, not the least of which is its unchristian stance on every part of the ACA, including no pre-existing conditions, added coverage for children, and decent health care access for the poor.
AFA's Bryan Fischer has joined into a contest with Pat Robertson, the senile, doddering, old fool who robs widows and orphans, and Michele Bachmann, the excremental clone of the insane branch of Mammalia Chiroptera, with each of them trying to out-crazy each other.
Apparently, Good Ole Pat thinks that asking for an arm to be regrown is simply too much work for his god, so he insists that you do NOT pray for it. Instead, if you tithe heavily, your health will be cured.
Michele is convinced that we are living in the end of times, and that shutting down govmint will help bring it along. What is that saying? From the mouths of babes . . . ? And by "babe," I in no way reference her looks.
Still, whether his psychotropic meds have been adjusted or not, Byran still takes the loony cake.

There is a simple reason why Barack Obama flatly, stubbornly and childishly refuses to negotiate over either the budget or the debt ceiling: he does not fear an economic meltdown; in fact, he craves one. For him, it’s a two-fer: he thinks it will destroy America and the GOP all in one fell swoop.

Just like we try to become calloused to the ineffable stupidity displayed by the GO P, some think that Bryan cannot go any further along the silly branch. But he always manages to find new and improved ways to prove that his mental illness is not transitory, but a chronic, constant drum beat of insanity.
Obama IS funding muslim terrorists, he IS pushing Iran to develop nukes, he DOES support Al Qaida in Syria, he SUPPORTS China killing christians, he WANTS the entire global economy to collapse just to punish christians and GO P-ers. Unfortunately for Bryan, April Fools day is still several months away.

I saw Frontline last night.
If you have a chance to get the instant replay, do it.
Better yet, check out PBS frontline here http://www.pbs.org/...
Here's a brief synaptic disturbance of the show: Since 1994, the NFL has been conducting secret studies about permanent damage caused by repeated blows to players' heads.
Until 2012, the NFL repeatedly and aggressively denied that there was any connection between the game and the spate of suicides of former NFL players. They pursued and attacked anyone who dared expose the ugly truth.
The first break in the story took place in 2002, when a pathologist was reviewing the body of Mike Webster, a famous Steeler, who died at a very early age (50). The pathologist was shocked at how much damage his body displayed, even decades after he quit the sport. What was really bothersome was what he found on brain slides. C T E - chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
While his depression, amnesia and dementia had been seen in other retired players, Webster's CTE was unheard of in a 50 yr old human. As the NFL position began to crumble, more and more studies confirmed the prevalence of CTE in many NFLers. What really caused the batshit to be propelled by a fan was the release of a secret report to the NFL confirming that CTE, dementia, and senility were all related to their playing time. At the same time, the NFL demanded (and continues to demand) that every player use Riddell helmets, even though purportedly safer designs existed.
Finally, the NFL settled their case with retired players, for a measly $765,000,000. In the agreement, they admitted to no liability, not even knowing whether head hits were dangerous. Instead, they continued to site their ongoing studies, trying to see if there is a problem.
Twenty years, a leaked report confirming deadly and disabling damages, and the NFL needs more time?
I will never look at a college or pro football game the same ever again.

What can we say about the GO P that hasn't been said elsewhere? Well one thing.
Just yesterday, the GO P had been threatening a govt. shut down, and no debt increase, in the hopes of destroying the ACA. Now, they claim neither of them is a big deal, and that it might prove to be useful.
Un the effing believable. I do have a special place in my heart for Laura Ingraham, who claims to be enjoying herself immensely over this maiden Cruz into an iceberg. Between her and the congresscritters who think that their gym is a critical part of government, i can only shake my head.
