Flap Your Lips Friday
Posted by Michelle Moquin on September 23rd, 2011
Good morning!
Doug: You’re voting with the party that doesn’t support you. If you are so concerned about “your rights” and “your peeps”, it makes absolutely no sense to vote republican, when they could care less about you and your rights. You obviously watch FOX noise or you would know just how much Obama has done for this country. For one thing, he stood up for “your peeps” and repealed DADT. Or does that not matter to you, honey? Toss your word salad with “fact-free” dressing along with your hatred of the “brown party”, and be thankful that Obama doesn’t feel as you do by saying, “Who wants to support gays when they are not representative of this country?”
Here’s what the republicans think about “your peeps”:
Republican Debate Audience Boos Gay Soldier Stephen Hill After DADT Repeal Question (VIDEO)
During the Republican debate Thursday night, host Megyn Kelly dropped a YouTube clip on Rick Santorum: a question from Stephen Hill, a soldier in Iraq who, up until this week, had to “lie about who [he] was” in order to serve in the army.
Santorum provided Hill no succor, saying that the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” injected “social engineering” into the military.
SANTORUM: I would say any type of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military. The fact they are making a point to include it as a provision within the military that we are going to recognize a group of people and give them a special privilege to, and removing don’t ask don’t tell. I think tries to inject social policy into the military. And the military’s job is to do one thing: to defend our country…KELLY: What would you do with soldiers like Stephen Hill?
SANTORUM: What we are doing is playing social experimentation with our military right now. That’s tragic. I would just say that going forward we would reinstitute that policy if Rick Santorum was president. That policy would be re-instituted as far as people in, I would not throw them out because that would be unfair to them because of the policy of this administration. But we would move forward in conformity with what was happening in the past. Which was- sex is not an issue. It should not be an issue. Leave it alone. Keep it to yourself whether you are heterosexual or homosexual.
Of course, the big news of the exchange will once again be about an audience reaction. After Fox cut back from the clip of Hill, several members of the audience were heard, in a shocking demonstration of disrespect for one of our soldiers, lustily booing him. Very sad.
Sidenote: Fred Karger responded to that exchange by telling the Huffington Post, “Santorum is truly nuts. Just Google him. Congress repealed DADT. Federal court found it unconstitutional.”
UPDATE: After the debate, Talking Points Memo reporter Evan McMorris-Santoro caught up with Jon Huntsman. When asked about the incident, Huntsman said the booing was “unfortunate.” McMorris-Santoro also talked to a Perry representative, who used similar language, calling it “very unfortunate.”
Furthermore, the Koch brothers went from being worth 34 billion to now being worth 50 Billion. Did that create more jobs? No. Here’s another little tidbit you probably won’t find on FOX: “Quarter’s profits point to a record.” …”The more money they make, the fewer Americans they employ.” Look at the graph below or watch this video from the Rachel Maddow show. Segment on Koch Net Worth VS. Employment starts @ 7:08.

Hafa adai Peter:
We can understand your frustration with inept John McCain III. He is the typical example of the white american who trades on his race. Except McCain trades on his family’s accomplishments also for his free ride on the tax payers dollars.
And have the taxpayers have paid a hefty price for it. His free ride into flight school cost The US taxpayer over a $100,000,000 for the five jets aircraft he crashed. That includes a very generous estimate in cost to repair the damage to the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal he took out of commission when his ineptitude caused a fire on the aircraft carrier.
Actually hundreds of millions of dollars were lost because of his amateurish, incompetent flying skills when the USS Forrestal was so badly damaged that it had to be taken off its previous assignment to be part of the fleet to assist our military on the ground in Vietnam in the spring of 1967 as part of its Operation Rolling Thunder bombing campaign against North Vietnam.
The nicest reference that was made by the brass to this inept, privileged, fool was to tag him their Dudley Can-Do-Nothing-Right after the Dudley Do-Right character on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
But after his debacle that killed 134 sailors aboard the Forrestal they made a deal with his father. His father, John McCain, Jr. was Commander of American forces fighting in Vietnam.
They agreed to cover up his plane wreck by declaring his plane was hit by a stray rocket exploding his bomb laden jet and that caused the explosion, but only if he would agree never to allow that turd to step foot above their aircraft carrier again.
This is the account of the cover up still maintained today. Notice no mention of the pilot of the jet. /www.forrestal.org/fidfacts/page13.htm
AS promised no mention of McCainIII’s part in the explosion and no mention of the 134 Sailors that lost their lives as a result of his incompetence. The damage exceeded $92 million (about $607 million today).
The above does not include the damage in the $hundreds of millions to the aircraft aboard the USS Forrestal and the hundreds of millions paid out to the families of the 134 dead their lost to the service and replacements.
McCain was the best weapon the Vietnam ever had. He practically single handedly saved tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers lives.
To this day many in the KGB enjoy the joke they sent to the Vietnamese when they confirmed that what McClain was telling them about his family connections was true.
They told the Vietnamese to keep him in good health and return their greatest hero to battle for them. The insiders among the Vietnamese and Russian elite enjoyed their little joke on the US.
McCain was prompted transferred to the USS Oriskany. His father was so embarrassed that he decided to have him shipped off to Vietnam to fly missions where he probably thought that his inept flying skills would get him killed and he could be written off as a war hero.
He got half his wish. McCainIII was such an incompetent pilot that he flew his jet too low over his target and caused a flame out.
When his jet crashed, the spin factory when into play for his father and claimed McClain’s jet was SHOT down by enemy fire.
McCain became even more of an embarrassment when he was captured because he immediately began to ask for favorable treatment by telling his captors that he was the son of the Commander of All American Fighting Forces in Vietnam.
He got that favorable treatment. He was separated from the rest of the captors and treated very well indeed.
I will leave the readers with an account provided by “The U.S. Veteran Dispatch.”
http://www.usvetdsp.com/jan08/mccain_military_record.htm
And Let’s not forget he made an even more inept thief. When he was caught redhanded, but his father and prisoner of war status got him a free get out of jail pass.
He conspired with Charles Keating to still billions from unsuspecting investors and the American taxpayers. The same scheme that worked even better under Bush.
Keating taught McCain that for a super scam like that to work, the industry has to be BOTH deregulated and de-supervised.
That is how the republicans enable the corporations and banks to maintain an environment of control fraud.
They give them immunity to prosecution and suit through passages of the HOLA acts, and Supreme Court decisions by their STARK granting them immunity from suit by their victims.
Yes, it has always been a Class War and our class has always had more fire power, or rather more politicians in our pocket.
The only real distinction between the republican party and the others is that they solicit us. So we own the Republican party and all of it affiliates wholesale.
Actually, We don’t really call it a party, we like to think of it as an extension of our fire power. Through them what we cannot deregulate we de-supervise by having the Republican party vote to take away the funds to investigate and prosecute any possible criminal acts we commit.
The right to commit Fraud comes with our charter and the dollar we grease their eager little palms with.

The 10-Minute Total-Body Breakthrough
Sean Foy, MA
Most people think that they’ll benefit from aerobic exercise only when they do it for 30 to 60 minutes, most days of the week.
This is old thinking. You don’t need extended workouts to strengthen muscles, increase cardiovascular fitness or lower your blood pressure, blood sugar and triglycerides. You can achieve these and other fitness benefits with 10 minutes of exercise a day.
The secret is High Energy Aerobic Training (HEAT), my take on high-intensity interval training.
HOW IT WORKS
For decades, trainers argued that effective aerobic exercise required elevating your heart rate to 65% to 80% of its maximum rate and keeping it there for 30 minutes or longer.
The problem with this approach — besides the fact that few people are willing to dedicate this much time to exercise — is that it’s not as effective as higher-intensity movements.
For example, high-intensity interval training has been shown to not only accelerate your metabolism during exercise but also long after the workout is over. Research shows exercise is most effective when it challenges the muscles, including the heart and lungs, at higher levels of intensity.
With HEAT, you alternate intense 30-second bursts of exercise with 30-second periods of moderate exercise. This means that your muscles and organs are repeatedly pushed to their limits.
But, because the intense phase lasts only 30 seconds, it’s achievable even for those who are new to exercise.
A study at the University of New South Wales and Garvan Institute found that overweight women who alternated high-intensity with moderate activity lost three times more weight than those who exercised at a continuous pace for twice as long.
The HEAT method also improves levels of lipids (blood fats) and increases endurance.
THE EASY 4-3-2-1 PROGRAM
I developed a program that packs every type of beneficial exercise into one 10-minute session.
It’s called 4-3-2-1 because it includes four minutes of aerobic exercise…
three minutes of resistance exercise (such as body-weight exercises)…
two minutes of core strengthening…
and one minute of stretching and deep breathing.
To keep time, you can use a large wall clock with a second hand… a wristwatch with a second hand… a digital sports watch… a stopwatch… or a cell phone with a stopwatch feature.
As you advance, you can repeat sections or the entire circuit. For beginners, I recommend the following…
4 MINUTES OF AEROBIC TRAINING
Chair jogging. Sit upright on the edge of a sturdy chair with your arms bent at a 90º angle.
Warm up by gently moving your arms and legs as though jogging slowly, raising your knees as high as you comfortably can. Do this for 30 seconds.
Next, bend forward slightly from the waist, and perform the same motion, but faster. Move as quickly as you comfortably can. Maintain this brisk pace for 30 seconds. Alternate between fast and slow “running” every 30 seconds for four minutes.
3 MINUTES OF RESISTANCE TRAINING
Wall squat. Lean your back against a wall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides. Walk your feet out from the wall two to three feet. Bend your knees slightly.
Keeping your back against the wall, bend your knees more and slowly slide down. Go as low as you comfortably can, but not so far that your knees extend over your toes. Try to hold the squat for one minute. Then, without resting, do a wall push-up…
Wall push-up. Face the wall. Place your hands against the wall, with your hands a little wider than shoulder-width apart.
Walk your feet back from the wall two to three feet. Rise onto the balls of your feet, and lean into the wall. With your knees slightly bent, lower your face and chest slowly toward the wall. Go as far as you comfortably can.
Next, press your hands into the wall to push yourself back to the starting position. Repeat as many times as you can in one minute. Then, without resting, move on to a stationary lunge…
Stationary lunge. Stand straight (next to the wall or a chair for balance, just in case) with your arms hanging loosely at your sides. Step backward three to four feet with your left foot.
Press into the floor with the heel of your right foot (in front) and the ball of your left foot (in back). Make sure that your weight is balanced. Bend both knees, lowering your right thigh until it’s parallel to the floor.
“Lunge” down as low as you can — but don’t let your left knee rest on the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. Return to the starting position. Reverse the sequence, and repeat with the other leg, again holding for 30 seconds.
2 MINUTES OF CORE STRENGTHENING
Chair plank. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the back of a sturdy chair, desk or table at waist level. Keep your feet close together, and lean forward.
Imagine that you’re a long, strong board that’s leaning against a table. While holding this position and keeping your body straight, rise onto the balls of your feet, keeping your arms extended, elbows slightly bent. Try to hold the position for one minute. Without resting, do a chair side bend…
Chair side bend. Sit upright on the edge of a sturdy chair, with your feet hip-width apart and your knees at a 90º angle. Let your arms hang down, with your hands below your waist.
Slowly lean your upper body to the left, lowering your left hand toward the floor, while keeping your buttocks firmly in place. Lean as far as you comfortably can without raising your buttocks off of the chair.
As you lean, let your head move in alignment with your upper body. Tighten the abdominal muscles, and stay in the side-bend position for two seconds. Return to the starting position, then repeat on the other side. Repeat as often as you can in one minute.
1 MINUTE OF STRETCHING
Chair forward bend. Begin the same way you did in the exercise above but with your feet about shoulder-width apart. This time, lower your arms so that they’re between your thighs.
Relax your shoulders. Bend forward from the waist. Lower your chin to your chest, and let your hands drop toward the floor. Let your weight pull your upper body toward the floor.
Hold this position for 30 seconds, breathing deeply throughout the stretch. Without resting, do a chair spinal twist…
Chair spinal twist. Stay in the same chair, with your feet hip-width apart. Cross your hands and arms over your chest.
Twist your upper body to the left, rotating from the waist and allowing your head and shoulders to move as one unit. Rotate as far as you can without bouncing or straining.
Try to hold the stretch for 15 seconds, breathing deeply. Then repeat the movement in the other direction.

Fuck you anonz. We need four seats in the Senate and the White House to control this country they way it should be. I am not embarrassed to say we will get it and return the White Man to his prominence in this country.
It is our country. We founded it. We built it and by God we own it.
If the rest of the country will follow along we will work with you. But if you think that we intend to share what the Founding Fathers and the blood of our forefathers sacrificed to make this a White Man’s Kingdom, you had better pack your bags and take your sorry asses back to where you came from.
We, White Men, are taking our country back!

Come to me, the time is nigh
to have your hand upon my thigh,
to spread my legs and spread them wide
and plunge your member deep inside
I’ll wrap my legs around you tight
and hold on dear with all my might
Together we’ll ride the waves of love
joined together like hand in glove

oh York, take your country back where?!
To the olden days (when the white men were white men and the sheep were nervous?)…wtf…are you listening (reading) to yourself when you speak (write)???
Sheesh…get a grip, man.

Rumors, Rumors……………
The skinny is that Romney and Perry have come to an agreement that they won’t trash each other during the debates and whomever wins the nomination will choose the other as his running mate.
An argument was put forward by one of the females that she thought a woman would make for a stronger ticket. She was shot down by stats that say republican women favor men over women by better that 4 to 1. Independents were 2 to 1, but when separated by race white independent women were 3 to 1 for males.
Democratic women were 1.5 to one favoring women. But white democratic women were 1.5 to one favoring men.
So the republicans want an all male ticket.

By now Rick Perry should have been able to consolidate the anti-Romney position within the Republican primary field. There’s just one problem. He might be the worst debater in the history of modern presidential politics.
I have talked to plenty of people all of whom tell me the same thing: It is Perry, not the staff. But the staff, like Perry, is convinced debates are overrated.
Maybe debates are normally overrated, except right now the only national exposure the candidates are getting is via debates. Therefore, when they see a guy in a debate who fumbles around looking for answers, the voters are less than reassured.
If Perry wants to actually win this, he needs to do a few things. First, he needs to get a comprehensive economic plan out soon. Second, he needs to answer some tough questions on immigration.
Third, he needs to talk about America more than Texas. Fourth, he needs to not lose the next two debates. He does not have to win. He just cannot lose.
I have said all along there would come a great pile on and if Perry could withstand it, he would be the nominee. It remains his race to lose.
But he seems to be doing his best to lose it. Conservative voters do not want to settle for Mitt Romney. They do not trust him. But they would much rather beat Barack Obama.
Perry must reassure these people that he can beat Barack Obama.
