Obama thinks he's better than McKinley!

"Denali... the great one, soaring under the midnight sun." - Sarah Palin (I prefer William Shatner's spoken word rendition of Palin's word salads) 
The Right-Wing outrage machine is the cure to the world's energy crisis. It never stops and is powered by nothing.

Over at NationalReview you can catch a whiff of the insanity which permeates all levels of the American Right-Wing. But, there are numerous posts in the incestous right-wing internet bubble, which have generated a limitless supply of conservative vitriol and hate.

It doesn't matter that Alaskans wanted to return to the mountain to it's original name, it doesn't matter that President McKinley never set foot on the mountain, it doesn't matter that the only reason Denali wasn't renamed 30 years ago was a Parlimentary procedural move by a single Ohio Republican in Congress, it doesn't matter that Congress delegated to the Department of the Interior the authority to make this decision over 60 years ago.

No, the only thing that matters is getting conservatives frothing at the mouth, taking to their keyboards to rage amongst themselves, to decry King Obama, to make oblique threats, to cross reference one another's rage while their political Masters, the Republican Party, feeds their violent stupidity and active ignorance

The 2015 National Prayer Breakfast highlights Conservative Values of Murder, Slavery and Genocide

Intolerance and Oppression are the core building blocks of the modern Conservative. Unless one swears allegiance to genocide and slavery one can not be an American Right-Winger today. To be a Conservative in America today means to be devoid of historical knowledge, secure in righteous ignorance and an active proponent of afflicting the afflicted and harming the innocent.

The two recent right-wing poutrages over American Sniper and the President Obama's comments at the 2015 National Prayer Breakfast serve to show the despicable nature of the American Conservatives.

First of all, the United States of America should not have a National Prayer Anything as the United States "is not, in any sense founded on the Christian religion" and the US Constitution specifically forbids the establishment of religion by the Federal Government. Of course, the National Prayer Breakfast was created in the 1950s (akin to the under god addition to the Pledge of Allegiance) in response to the godless Soviet Union to prove Gott Mit Uns.

Secondly, responding to right-wing outrage is a ridiculous task. Whether they are foaming at the mouth over Dijon Mustard, Umbrellas, Dan Daly's USMC Cover or Lattes no group in the history of the world is as wimpy, thin-skinned, petulant, actively ignorant or violently stupid as Conservatives.

Now, American Sniper has become a purity litmus test for Conservatives. For years conservatives have gnashed their teeth; as they've been champing at the bit to declare the Iraq War a Noble Crusade and Glorious Victory and beatify anyone who reveled in murdering Muslims. Since 2003 and dozens of time afterwards, Conservatives declared Iraq "Won" culminating in the Right-Wing Blog-o-sphere declaring Victory in Iraq Day (VI Day) on 11/22/2008.

The Iraq War was a miserable failure, a war crime, resulting in the murder of thousands of innocent Iraqis, a complete waste of American lives and money, which utterly destabilized the region, created ISIS and has in no way made US or anyone else in the world safer.

But, when Obama dared to point out, at the 2015 National Prayer Breakfast, the history of Christianity being used by the powerful to justify heinous crimes well that's just too much.

Conservatives believe Slavery is justified because it exposed the slaves and their descendants to the light of Christianity and the "freedom" of America. Conservatives believe the genocide of Native Americans was justified because genocide is a staunch conservative value. Just as they believe the slaughter of more than a hundred thousand Iraqis is justified because Iraq is "free" now thanks to George W. Bush and Chris Kyle.

So when, former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore has a temper tantrum and pouts,
"This goes further to the point that Mr. Obama does not believe in America or the values we all share." 
He's absolutely correct. President Obama does not share the American Values of Conservatives because those values are; Oppression, Intolerance, Fawning Adulation of the Rich, Slavery, Murder, and Genocide.
