Is The Wrath Of God Coming Down On The GOP's Tampa Convention?

What did the wacko Christian Fundies say about 9/11? Pat Robertson said, “He blames 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina on gays and lesbians, cozies up to the Chinese coercive and murderous one-child policy…”

Here is a smattering of the insane viewpoints of those in the GOP’s sociopathic and pervert division of their party.

The Reverend Pat Robertson, of CBN, aka 'The Christian Broadcasting Network.' To Robertson, Katrina was not merely punishment for legal abortion but also a blessing for the Right because the storm diverted the nation's attention away from the Senate confirmation hearing of George W. Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court, John G. Roberts Jr.

Out of this tragedy, the focus of America is going to be on these victims, and inflamed rhetoric in the United States Senate is just not going to play well now because this is a time of healing and compassion and reaching out to people, and if they start going on a vendetta against Roberts in the Senate, it's just going to hurt them. And I think they know that, so, I mean, Judge Roberts can, maybe, you know, be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) was preaching the message that hurricane Irene was a divine warning to our nation's capital.

I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?

Rev.Clyde Higgins delivered to the readers of Christwire: Irene was punishment for New York legalizing same sex marriage.

You have betrayed America’s duty as a Christian nation to make homosexuals miserable in their sins.  You have allowed the biggest city of America to be a modern Sodomy Megalopolis.

Texas pastor John Hagee claimed that the 2005 storm was sent to punish New Orleans.

All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came...And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.

Oregon's David Crowe, an ordained minister who is the founder and president of Restore America, agreed that it was America that was being punished, not just the immoral pagans on the Gulf coast:

Katrina was an act of God upon a sin-loving and rebellious nation, a warning to all who foolishly and arrogantly believe there is no God, and that if He did exist, "would not have done such a thing!" It is also a serious call to repent, to turn away from our wicked ways, from the heart of a loving Father.

The Writer of Psalm 107 closes by saying, "Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, and consider the Loving kindness of the LORD."

Newsvine.com, from Carloz, 9-25-12

Now that Hurricane Isaac is about to land in Tampa disrupting the GOP’s nomination convention, what will the psychopaths, sociopaths and perverts filling the halls say about this ocean drenching upon their lies, fraudulent presentations, hypocrisies, junk science garbage, and overall bullshit?

Will Bachmann and Romney come out and say that the sins of the Party of No are being punished for damaging the country? Will they come forward and admit that they have a platform that will seriously injury those who already have been damaged by their serious policies implemented by their last Evil Lilboy occupying the White House?

Will we see a transformation, or an admission of guilt by these conartists for destroying working class savings, the destruction of working class wages, the give-aways of the nation's wealth to the bankstas, the politicizing of the Supreme Court, the fascist process of controlling elections, the theft of American jobs, which were sent overseas by the likes of their chief nominee—Pinhead Romney?

Or, will they just proclaim that God is trying to wash away their sins by having the ocean’s waves sweep over their convention in order to cleanse their souls of their evil ways.

Doubtful. They will say nothing. They will ignore their hypocrisies of berating Democrats, and spew inept and stupid criticisms along with the chastising of liberal and centrist viewpoints and policies that were better for the nation, but instead traded them for more damaging and painful policy decisions that were devastating to hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans, and just bad for the nation.

Glenn Beck said this about Katrina and hurricanes, and it appears to be true in regards to the GOP’s convention in Tampa. Was this a prophecy directed to the regressives having their nomination party?

...this hurricane is a blessing. It is a blessing. It is God reminding you, as was the earthquake last week, it’s God reminding you, ‘You’re not in control.'

Amen, Glenn, Amen!!

Romney is the Harvard Version of Sarah Palin, but worse!!

Romney travels abroad and decides to criticize two of three host nations. He is just a foolish sociopath believing that he is better than those he shakes hands with.

In Britain, he criticizes their Olympic security, and then, the Brits give it right back to the foolish Sarah Romney.

He travels to Israel and does the same thing there criticizing the Palestinians as inferior minded people and praising the Israelis with Sheldon Adelson, the wealthy casino mogel, pulling his puppet strings in exchange for fat wads of cash.

Romney has no mind of his own, and when he speaks it is not unlike the foolishness that comes out of the mouth of Sarah Palin. The GOP has decided to nominate the male version of Sarah Palin for their choice of president. They haven’t learned a darn thing!!

Romney, while in Israel, uses the information written in a book by Jared Diamond called Guns, Germs and Steel. Mr. Diamond has been very upset with Romney’s misrepresentation of the contents twisting the writings to fit his own perverted and sociopathic viewpoint of the Palestinians.

Romney said, "And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things," he said. Romney also mentioned the "hand of providence," and how the Jews have "long recognized the purpose in this place and in their lives that is greater than themselves and their own particular interests."

Romney failed to say that containing people in a restricted area and controlling their fate, in many ways, could damage their lives and economies. This is what Mr. Diamond had written in his book.

Here is more from Romney, which he wrote for the National Review in his piece called “Culture Does Matter.”

“During my recent trip to Israel, I had suggested that the choices a society makes about its culture play a role in creating prosperity, and that the significant disparity between Israeli and Palestinian living standards was powerfully influenced by it. In some quarters, that comment became the subject of controversy.”

Romney’s viewpoints appear to be rooted in racism. We heard this type of garbage by racists in regards to why African Americans have had problems adapting to a one-time white American society. As our nation evolves, whites are becoming the minority, and people of other races and cultures dominate. And now, we have a Tea Party and others who are darn scared that they will no longer run the show as they have done in the past. They are angry that they will have to share the game board with others.

Romney is a White Supremist racist put out in front by the GOP to send 90% of the nation back into the dark ages of economic prosperity, while handing over the wealth to the top 10%. As we have just learned from Sarah Romney that he will put 12 million more Americans back to work in his first term by lowering an already near record low tax rate and cut budgets—in other words Austerity Drives Prosperity, ie. Trickle Down Economics, to rebuild the country’s economy. But in fact, the Center for American Progress predicts the Romney Economic Plan will kill 360,000 jobs. Romney is a pervert with a delusional mind. Austerity pushes down prosperity and increases unemployment and refuels a recession.

This is from the Huffington Post piece written by Luke Johnson:

He repeated the argument in a subsequent National Review article, entitled "Culture Does Matter."

"The linkage between freedom and economic development has a universal applicability," he wrote, citing the differences between East and West Germany and North and South Korea. But South Korea was an authoritarian country until the late 1980s, and China and Singapore are strong counterexamples to the notion that freedom and economic development are universally linked.

This isn't the first time Romney has seemingly mischaracterized a book he's read. Journalist Noam Scheiber said he wrongly used his book, "The Escape Artists," to accuse Obama of pushing the Affordable Care Act to intentionally slow down the economic recovery.

Jared Diamond says that Romney appears to have not read his book. If he has read Mr. Diamond’s book, then he purposely manipulated and twisted it to fit his perverted mind.

Now we have a kerfuffle between SlimmieDog Romney and Harry Reid. Mr. Reid decided to up the Rumor Mill Ante by doing what Fox News does all the time, which is to say that ‘someone told me that Romney paid no taxes for 10 years’. And, this someone was a Romney investor, so he should know.

Romney told Reid to put up or shut up in regards to this rumor, yet Romney clearly has no clue that the burden of proof lies with him!!! The American people, along with many inside the GOP, have told Romney to put the tax issue to rest and lay out his completed tax returns going back to 1999, when he supposedly “retired” from Bain Capital.

Romney wants Dirty Harry to lay down his “weapon” and give up his source, instead of Dope-slapping Harry by laying out his completed history of tax returns to prove that he did pay taxes, even if the rates were possibly below 10%.

Romney is just the class bully yelling back to his peers that their mothers are fat, too!! So there!!!

It is very clear that Sarah Romney is just another GOP perverted sociopath who believes they are right to lie, and manipulate at the expense of millions of others in order to achieve their goals.

Mitt Romney--The Sociopath

Read the excerpts from Truth-out.com's excellent article detailing Romney's business past. Read the full story here.

A recent Vanity Fair story further shows how Romney used foreign bank accounts to raise the initial money for a fledgling Bain Capital:

One cannot properly understand Wall Street's size and power without appreciating the central role of offshore tax havens. There is absolutely no evidence that Bain has done anything illegal, but private equity is one channel for this secrecy-shrouded foreign money to enter the United States and a filing for Mitt Romney's first $37 million Bain Capital Fund, of 1984, provides a rare window into this. One foreign investor, of $2 million, was the newspaper tycoon, tax evader and fraudster Robert Maxwell, who fell from his yacht and drowned, off of the Canary Islands in 1991 in strange circumstances, after looting his company's pension fund. The Bain filing also names Eduardo Poma, a member of one of the "14 families" oligarchy that has controlled most of El Salvador's wealth for decades; oddly, Poma is listed as sharing a Miami address with two anonymous companies that invested $1.5 million between them. The filings also show a Geneva-based trustee overseeing a trust that invested $2.5 million, a Bahamas corporation that put in $3 million and three corporations in the tax haven of Panama, historically a favored destination for Latin-American dirty money - "one of the filthiest money-laundering sinks in the world," as a US Customs official once put it. 

*********
Malt [Brad Malt who ran Romney's trust] said he had repeatedly increased Romney's stake in the Cayman fund since 2003. He said he was unaware of the specific figures, but added that he knew he "wrote a lot of checks," and that it paid a return of 20% to 30% a year.


*********


With all this secrecy in his life, could he pass a security clearance check or a Congressional confirmation hearing? No Congress would pass him for a presidential appointment or give him a special access security clearance with this much secrecy and especially with all these hints of undisclosed foreign money.
*********


Romney is asking us, as in a job interview, to hire him and trust him with our most important secrets, but he is not willing to trust the public with his.

For example, here's what Romney did not say when he was confronted with questions about a "criminal scheme to defraud Medicare in 1993" by Damon Corp., whose board he was a member of, according to an October 11, 2002, report in The Boston Globe. Romney claimed, at a news conference in 2002, he and other board members uncovered the crimes and took "corrective action," instead of reporting it to the federal government, which he was required to do. The Globe, however, determined, "Romney's comments are contradicted by federal court records and Damon's [Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)] filings."

"Other court records, including Damon's blood testing records, show that the practice that was found to be criminal continued until August 1993, many months after Romney said he and the board put an end to it," the Globe reported. "Romney also said the reporting of the billing problems was made public to the SEC in letters sent by Damon to its shareholders in July 1993, urging them to accept an offer by Corning to buy the firm. But the letters, which [Romney's campaign] provided the Globe, state only that federal authorities were engaged in an investigation of potentially fraudulent billing practices at a number of clinical laboratories and make no mention of any particular problems at Damon."

**************

....a year after Bain took over a controlling interest in Ampad, the firm laid off one-fifth of the Indiana plant's employees, scrapped the retirement plan and gutted health benefits and wages.


*************

When he was being called upon to release his tax returns in the 2002 gubernatorial election in Massachusetts, Romney and his running mate refused. "Mitt Romney and Kerry Murphy Healey will complete all the financial disclosure forms required by law of candidates for public office," said Eric (Etch a Sketch) Fehrnstrom, Romney's deputy campaign manager for communications, in April 2002. "They do not plan to release their actual tax returns. It's not required and they both value their privacy."

Questions about transparency in Romney's tax returns have been going on for years. There were questions about whether Romney could legitimately run for governor of Massachusetts. In 1999 and 2000, Romney declared himself a resident of Utah and received a $54,000 tax break on his $3.8 million Park City home because he listed his residence there as his primary one. He had insisted for weeks that he had filed Massachusetts tax returns for 1999 and 2000.

Romney said he first learned of the tax break he received when he read about it in the Boston Globe on June 7, 2002, according to a report in the paper. He then called a news conference in an attempt to explain the discrepencies in his previous public statements. Here's the lede from the Globe story:

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Mitt Romney contradicted his previous public statements yesterday and said for the first time that he did not file Massachusetts income tax returns for 1999 and 2000 as a resident of the state.

Romney told reporters at a news conference that he filed as a "part-year resident for 1999 and a non-resident for 2000. He amended those returns, claiming Massachusetts resident status, on April 2 [2002], a week after he announced he was running for governor of Massachusetts and four days before the state Republican convention that endorsed his candidacy."

A week later, Phillip W. Johnston, Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman, said Romney told a "bald-faced lie" when he "originally told reporters he filed income tax returns as a resident of Massachusetts when living in Utah," the Globe reported.

**************

Here is a Romney quote: 

I'm not familiar precisely with what I said, but I'll stand by what I said, whatever it was.

Now, can someone argue that Mitt Romney is NOT a sociopath?

Mitt Romney Is A Member Of The Super Elite!

From http://www.Washingtonsblog.com--

"Using data from the BIS, IMF, World Bank, and governments, former Chief Economist at McKinsey, James Henry, reports the 1% have deposited $21 trillion to $32 trillion in tax havens to evade taxes. Related, the Federal Reserve reports the US top seven banks have over $10 trillion in assets recorded in over 14,000 created “subsidiaries” to avoid taxes.

The 1% hide more than total annual economic output of the US and Japan combined."

What we have witnessed is that Mitt Romney, as expressed through his wife, Ann, that the common person, the American people don't deserve to know any more about their finances, and tax returns than what they have exposed.

In addition, it has been reported in the Boston Globe that many of Mitt Romney's letters written while administrating the U.S. Winter Olympics have been hidden. 

Romney is a hider. He is secretive. He is a concealer. He might become the Hider and Concealer-in-Chief. He appears to NOT believe in transparency. 

Why would he want to hide his tax returns, and letters of correspondences unless there is damaging information that average Americans would be disgusted by. He might not have done anything illegal, but just at the very least, immoral, or unethical.

Does he NOT want YOU to know that he paid no taxes, or less of a tax rate than YOU did?

We have found out recently that Dade Behring was wrung out to dry once Bain Capital and Mitt Romney got their hands on it.

This is from the Tampa Bay Times: "

In advance of Mitt Romney's fundraising swing through Florida tomorrow Democrats are highlighting one of the business ventures of Bain Capital while Romney was in charge: Dade Behring, which, saddled with debt, wound up shuttering two medical technologies facilities in Miami. Some 850 jobs were lost, while Bain walked away with $242-million - an 800 percent return on its investment

The Dade Behring case has been well-documented, but here's a new wrinkle: The company under Bain's leadership sought and received millions of dollars in tax breaks for creating jobs in Puerto Rico - shortly before closing it's facilities, costing nearly 300 jobs.

The company in 1997 received a $3-million federal tax break aimed to promoting job creation in Puerto Rico. It also received a $4.1-million tax exemption from Puerto Rick in 1997 in the name of job creation. Dade ceased its operations in Puerto Rico in the first quarter of 1998."

The company was profitable, but once Bain got their Mitts on them, they were squeezed dry sending jobs overseas, and their domestic workers on the unemployment lines.

What we learn nearly everyday is that Bain's Mitts were dirty and predatory. They were money sucking vultures. 

Anyone who can wake up every morning and believe they are doing honorable and good work by destroying jobs and businesses, and sucking all the operating capital from them while receive tax breaks as they are being drained dry must be a perverted sociopath.

That makes Mitt Romney a perverted sociopath sanctioned by the Mormon Church.
