Cenk hosting.  The Net Neutrality debate is back after bad news from several months ago after Tom Wheeler of the FCC stood up for a free and open internet.  A push to restore voting rights for ex-felons that served their prison time has come forward due to the urging of Eric Holder and Rand Paul.  Video of Eric Holder making his case, connecting it to the disenfranchisement of minorities.  The Kansas bill that looked to openly allow businesses to discriminate against gay citizens is now dead.  Republicans that originally voted for it now completely regretting it.  Latest from the conflict in Kiev, Ukraine where some graphic footage of some people being shot has surfaced.  It also seems that a truce has been reached. Louie Gohmert has started a PAC to fight back against the “War on Conservatives.”  In a new poll about the war in Afghanistan, 49% of Americans believe it was a mistake to ever even go in.  Kinky Friedman, a singer/songwriter is running as a Democrat for Agriculture Commissioner in Texas so that he can legalize marijuana.  An 84 year old nun along with 2 elderly male accomplices have been sentenced for 3 years and 5 years for breaking into a huge uranium plant to make the political statement that we shouldn’t produce nuclear weapons.  A chef at a fancy grocery store/deli in North Carolina was fired after having a testy conversation with the governor inside the store.  In response, the chef was later fired.  Gov McCrory’s security team sought out the management and told on him, but denied that they asked for him to be fired.  They also found and sifted through his Facebook page and found a random interaction to claim that the chef threatened bodily harm.  After this made news, the Democrat mayor of Charlotte reached out to the fired cook and said he would pass along his resume to some connections to see if he can get him another job.

  1. Gohmert is the living embodiment of the dumb american stereotype and the greedy american politician stereotype. He looks dumb, sounds dumb has dumb ass sounding name and is from texas

  2. I truely beleive that being raised religious trains and enables your mind in compartimentalizing better, so that you can believe Christian doctrines next to scientific facts that are continuously putting stress on these doctrines.
    When the marketteers of large compagnies and politicians convince you to believe something and your mind is trained to withstand logic, trained as you are by believeing religious doctrine you will be able to make up what you believe.

    2. This is not just a religious thing, it’s a part of human nature. People very easily hold contradictory views and dismiss facts when they do not like them. It would be nice if this could be overcome simply by abandoning religion, but if you have seen atheists behaving like religious fanatics, as I have, you know that it doesn’t work that way.

    3. n8glenn you are right ofcourse. You don’t need religion for factualy contrary thoughts in one mind, if at all there is a relation, religion exsists because of this.
      But is was sooo nice to diss religion agian :-)
      upaya you can make a very scary string of quotes. Combine the Voltaire quote with the scary but misquoted Goebels quote, If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.
