"Folks" are people, too.

President Obama says that "folks" were tortured today in an address to the country, and some in the chattering class and the lemmings and mindless zombies who follow them are losing their minds.


I mean just when you thought that we couldn't get any dumber in this country we surprise you.


So let me get this straight; we are upset that the president referred to the people who were tortured as "folks", but not the fact that they were ACTUALLY TORTURED. Got it!


This from Darrell Issa:

Typical week in the Obama Administration: conservatives labeled ‘a**holes’ terrorists labeled ‘folks’

5:27 PM - 1 Aug 2014 "

Mr. Issa not only are you an "a**hole"; but you are a car thief as well.

BTW, do you know who else referred to alleged terrorists as "folks"?

"Bush's initial response to the attacks on the World Trade Center was inauspicious. He seemed shaken and halting in his first statement, at 9:30 A.M. , shortly after stepping out of the classroom in Sarasota. He described the incidents as "an apparent terrorist attack" and vowed "to hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act." The Secret Service then rushed Bush onto Air Force One, and the presidential jet roared off into the sky without delay, headed for Washington." [Source] 

Yep, that guy.

As I write this post Michele Bachman is on the floor of the House asking that President Obama be put in chains handcuffs and arrested. This is the same Michele Bachman who declared this week that President Obama wants undocumented children to come to this country so that we can do medical experiments on them.

Michele is feeling kind of giddy these days, because she, along with her extreme right wing pals, have hijacked the party. She has effectively forced more moderate republicans "to retreat" and join her and her pals as they become even more extreme.

Her pals were out in full force pushing their message on immigration, and needless to say some of their colleagues on the other side were not pleased.

"Illinois Democratic lawmaker Luis Gutierrez declared Republicans’ main fight in Congress over a stalled border bill is “how do [they] get meaner, how do [they] get nastier with immigrants.”


Gutierrez appeared on MSNBC’s “Jose Diaz-Balart” on Friday to blast the GOP’s disarray on immigration reform. The congressman took particular umbrage at the fact that Diaz-Balart’s previous guest, Tennessee Republican lawmaker Marsha Blackburn, referred to the tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children on the border as “unaccompanied alien children.”


“She says, ‘UACs, UACs, UACs,’ I think she said it three or four times,” he said. “Why doesn’t she just say ‘children?’ . . . "


Because "immigrants", sir,  are not people. In fact, they are not even "folks".
