Louie Gohmert Runs for Speaker of the House

From Huffington Post:
In the final tally, Boehner received the votes of 216 House members, while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) received 164 votes. A number of discontented Republicans, however, voted for other candidates, including Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), who, with 12 votes, got the most opposition votes from the GOP.

Louie Gohmert Runs for Speaker of the House

photo c06efd7c-eebf-4383-ab72-e0a3961497e0.jpg

Are you serious, Bro? Congressional gadfly and general nuisance Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, is leading the pack of Tea Party Clowns who are challenging John Boehner for Speaker of the House.

This should be entertaining! :)

*Popcorn Time*

Via KENS5, San Antonio, Texas
"We've heard from a lot of Republicans that, "Gee I'd vote for somebody besides Speaker Boehner, but nobody will put their name out there as running, so there's nobody else to vote for,'" Gohmert said in an appearance on "Fox and Friends" on Sunday morning.

"Well, that changed yesterday, when my friend [Florida Republican Rep.] Ted Yoho said, 'I'm putting my name out there. I'll be a candidate for speaker,'" Gohmert added.
"And I'm putting my name out there also today to be another candidate for speaker."

Gohmert's strategy is to force multiple rounds of voting.
"Eventually the goal is, second, third, fourth round, we have enough people that say, "You know what, it really is time for a change," he said.

Let us cast no aspersions on Louie Gohmert’s asparagus. Neither should we curse his cauliflower, defame his dandelion greens, libel his leeks, slander his spinach, hex his horseradish nor give grief to his garlic. Yet however laudably we treat Gohmert’s legumes, it must be said that he is full of beans if he thinks he is going to be speaker of the House.
~ Dana Milbank on Washington Post

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is throwing her support behind Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert to replace John Boehner as Speaker of the House, saying that the GOP needs "new energy."
"I love Louie Gohmert," she said during an interview on Fox News' "Hannity." "I love those Texan politicians who call it like they see it and are true conservatives. So I will be rooting for Louie."
~ Sarah Palin, via Newsmax

Yep, the guy that argued that black people won the right to discriminate against gay people because of Civil Rights, among a whole bunch of other ridiculous, untrue, incorrect and occasionally flat-out disturbing things, is attempting to become Speaker of the House. While we can't vouch for the safety of the country should the stars align to usher Gohmert into the office, we can guarantee that the soundbites coming out of a Gohmert-led House would be epic. When Gohmert announced his candidacy we're pretty sure that even the Fox News anchor interviewing the man was fighting to keep a straight face.

Wingnuts Blame Obama for Ebola Virus Because "African"

photo 3155601.jpg

The Republicans - and even some far-left conspiracy nuts - just can't resist trying to connect President Obama and the Ebola Virus. After all, he is African, you know. Oh wait, he's African-American, maybe - have you checked his birth certificate lately? When will you lib-tards admit he's a totally black socialist Kenyan who eats bush meat and invented HIV and Ebola in his bid to destroy 'Merica? Doesn't that make perfect sense?


People shouldn't be so scared about this virus from Africa. He only has two more years of his presidency
~ Actor Steve Howley on a tweet he later deleted, reported by TMZ

I believe the failure to stop these planes from comin' into Sierra Leone, there could be politics involved in that too. Obama, familial connection with Africa - he has an enormous amount of, I think, core ties to the African continent. He's mindful of his own family history there.
~ Laura Ingraham on her talk show

I think very few people trust our government as being competent. Let's not kid ourselves. I mean with the five billion dollar website for Obamacare, which is still not working frankly and it's a disaster. And so many other things: Benghazi, wars... IRS.
. . . I mean we have virtually incompetent leadership. So why would anybody trust our government to handle this crisis? And to think that we're allowing people from West Africa to come in, and many of them are unchecked, come in and potentially cause a tremendous problem.
~ Donald Trump on Fox News




Ebola is a plot to kill the Military
and Benghazzzzzzzzziiiiii!!!

(Obama wants to send) 3,000 military into where they can get Ebola that they can bring back. The military is not trained to go catch Ebola and die. They’re trained to go in and kill the people that want to come back and kill us. The president’s priorities are all mixed up here.
~ Louie Gohmert R-Texas

 Red State: Pestilence and Bush Meat

. . . we have a person in the United States who flew back from Africa with Ebola. The White House neither wants to stop flights to Africa nor does it want to more closely monitor people coming into the United States from Africa via other countries.
At least this administration is consistent. It will let every one and every thing, including pestilence, cross our border. I bet, if we are patient, the administration will even place Ebola with a nice family somewhere in Middle America and given it government benefits.
~ Erick Erickson, Fox News Pundit and Owner of Red State

Banning flights to a country where brown people live is RACIST to Barack Ebola.
~ ncfamilyman on Red State

We still have international ports of entry, passports and visa checks, shot records, the only problem is the Mexican boarder, we don't do squat there. Maybe that's how the mystery virus killing and crippling our kids came from ? Thanks Mr. president.
~ lerp on Red State

Here is one of the major problems. People from this part of the World love to bring in "Bush Meat" into the United States. Even though it is not allowed, an Officer must open up that suitcase and take it. That in itself may become problematic if people get fearful. It's just a fact. All suitcases should be emptied of any meat BEFORE it leaves an African airport, instead of bringing it here.
. . . Ebola is a animal related disease, mostly from eating bat meat. One person comes from Africa to with infected meat and feeds it to 10 family members, we now have 10 people with Ebola. The fact that this ONE man contracted Ebola before coming here is nothing compared to an infected bag of Bushmeat will be Major. The fact is, this is a more dangerous way to bring Ebola here.
~ Bobbyd12 on Red State


Free Republic: Obama Kills the Innocents

Ebola Is Obama's "Katrina", And He's More Worried About Africans Than Americans???
~ Headline on Free Republic

If Obama can heal the earth, and stop the oceans from rising...can’t he also stop Ebola?
Yes, of course he can...but he doesn’t want to.
~ Cowboy Bob on Free Republic

Obammy is visiting this ebola crap on innocents!!!
~ Joe B. on Free Republic

I wonder if 0bola is letting the US taxpayer foot the bill for flying Ebola affected countries citizens here.
~ Jane L. on Free Republic

easier than burning Christians on the lamp posts along pennsylvania ave.
~ knarf on Free Republic

I wonder if Obama is willing to take the Mooch and their two kids to Liberia on their next vacation on our dime, shake hands with the locals, and demonstrate to Americans that there is nothing to worry about? (sarc)
~ avid cougar on Free Republic

A good Ebola outbreak in the USofA would overwhelm the Health Insurance companies and the government could rescue the system with -TA_DA! Single Payer.
~ arthurus on Free Republic

People don’t feel better off than they were five years ago, and obviously whether it’s the GSA, the IRS, Syria, Ebola, the Secret Service, I means what’s going well in regard to this administration and those senators who have followed him in lockstep?
~ Reince Priebus, Republican Clown

Conservatives Pee on Obama for Jesus at the "Road to Majority" Conference 2014

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to the Tea Party's "Road to Majority" conference which began today in Washington D.C. It's a surreal place that has little to do with reality, as so-called Patriots and Christians mingle together to espouse beliefs that are far to the right of most Americans. Clearly the main push for this Conference was the Agenda of Traditional Marriage and Anti-Abortion, but as always the GOP and Tea Party cannot help themselves and go in for bashing Democrats, especially Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And they are just bloody childish.

So while Ralph Reed and the Faith and Freedom Coalition tried to push the family-friendly agenda at hashtag #RTM2014, one picture taken by journalist stole the show: a rather ugly Obama figurine stuffed into a urinal so that men could, well . . . Pee on the President. And since the internet is forever, that is now the symbol of the Faith and Family Road to Majority conference, a picture at once anti-Christian and Racist, a display showing the usual disrespect for both the person and the office of the President. As I say, they cannot help themselves.

Cognitive Dissonance at work:















From USA Today
The Road to Majority conference, organized by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, has a jampacked lineup of speakers, including a host of Republican politicians such as new House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and businessman Herman Cain.
The goal of the three-day conference, which wraps up Saturday, is to educate and inspire grass-roots leaders and activists to promote conservative pro-family values.

From CBS News
As part of the conference, FFC supporters on Thursday will lobby members of Congress on certain issues, including support for "traditional" marriage. Even though the Republican National Committee has urged Republicans to show more sensitivity for gay rights issues as the tide of public opinion turns, Reed said the conservative base is ready to stand firm on the issue of marriage. On the same day, several conservative groups are hosting a "March for Marriage" issue in Washington, featuring speakers like former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Rick Santorum.

Tea Party Pushes U.S. Towards Default Brink

Epic Rant about Ted Cruz On Morning Joe 10-15-2013
Mika Brzezinski: Later this morning Senator Mitch McConnell will present a bipartisan plan to fellow Republicans that could end the shutdown and extend the nation's borrowing limit for at least a couple of months.

Joe Scarborough: Yay! (laughter)

Mika: Haven't we heard this before? . . . The Senate could vote on the bill as soon as tomorrow, however the deal does not include any language to dismantle Obamacare, nor would it include a repeal of the medical device tax - two sticking points for the Tea Party Caucus.

photo SenateProp.png

Mika: Senator Ted Cruz says he is still unsure whether or not he'd block a vote on the bill - come on.

Joe: Lots of Luck, Pal. You go ahead and do that.

Mika: It's unbelievable.

Joe: Just try it, Buddy. Go ahead ... (laughter) Go ahead, Big Shot. You put the full faith and credit of the United States of America on your shoulders. Have fun with that. Good luck. Do it. Do it. I dare you. I'm daring you right now. Go ahead and do it, Hot Shot.

Or are you gonna just sit in the back? And when people are responsible and actually give a damn about this country, and give a damn about the full faith and credit of the United States, and actually care about the people who are working day in and day out hoping to keep their job. You're going to keep posing and hurt those people? I don't really get it -

It's kinda like - it's great for you, I know. I know it's really great for you politically, but it's just like the Veteran's Memorial that you used as a political backdrop. It's a great backdrop until the next day, the Vets who actually organized the rally came out and were really upset that you had used their rally for your own political points.

So you guys go ahead. Just go ahead. Just keep using America as your political backdrop. And hurt all the people you want to hurt. Hurt, by the way, small government conservatives. Republicans. Working class Americans that actually used to support our party, but are now wondering what in the world - keep doing it. And I hope it really helps you out because it's sure not helping the conservative movement. It's not helping the Republican Party, and it's not helping this country, but go ahead, go ahead.

. . . This isn't about conservatism. This is about tactics. What makes me so angry is some Republicans are going to have to step up and they see that 24% conservative approval rating and they know it's going to go lower. They know the Senate's now in jeopardy. They know that the White House could be in jeopardy down the road. ...Independents who broke for Romney last time have even moved away from him (Cruz).
. . . So now a few Republicans are going to save the full faith and credit of the nation either on the day of the Default or a few weeks later, and a few guys are going to sit in the back and throw potshots at them because they know they have to do it. And they don't have the guts to stand up and say 'You know, we're the ones who screwed this up. We're the ones who screwed up the Republican Party's ability to do well during this time.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

. . . we’re watching now, what might be called the Koch Brothers’ “Samson Option,” pulling down the temple to destroy their enemies even if doing so is also destructive to them and their fortunes.
~ Robert Parry on TruthOut

We face a mutated GOP. Ted Cruz is the leader of the dominant faction in this amalgam of what I call totalitarian Christians (their interpretation of the Bible supersedes the US Constitution), racist white Southerners (whose DNA contains the slavery gene), Ayn Rand dystopian ideologues...and plutocrats.
~ Shockwave on Daily Kos

. . . you know at every stage, my prayer to God is that His will be done. As it will be.
~ Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX, Tea Party architect of the Government Shutdown

What planet are you living on here?!
~ Reporter Chuck Todd on MSNBC's Morning Joe speaking of Senator Ted Cruz

We are now five days away from a very dangerous moment.
The closer we get to the deadline the greater the impact will be for the developing world.
Inaction could result in interest rates rising, confidence falling and growth slowing.
If this (U.S. Default) comes to pass it could be a disastrous event for the developing world and that will in turn greatly hurt the developed economies as well.
~ World Bank President Jim Yong Kim via BBC News

There's an expectation that has to change and that sometimes takes attempting to do things that won't work. It's a tough vote, but the fact is all of us have to realize the reality of the situation, and that is that two months have been blown on the wrong subject.
~ Senator Bob Corker, R-Tennessee

They had the gun to our head because of Obamacare. They gave up on that, so why is the gun to our head still? Now it's like we have the gun to our head and we have to figure out why.
~ Bill Maher, Friday, 10/11/13

We'd better wake up. Defunding Obamacare is not achievable. So let's not delude our supporters by telling them that it is under the present circumstances, because elections have consequences.
~ Senator John McCain on Fox News



. . . there are some tactics that go too far, alienating even voters who are ideologically or politically sympathetic to the GOP. And, unfortunately for Republicans, one of those tactics was extortion. Going into the shutdown, more people opposed Obamacare than supported it. But the idea of shutting down the government or threatening a debt default to undo Obamacare was massively unpopular.
. . . The polls trickle in and they are horrific. The pragmatic wing of the party is completely demoralized. It lashes out more violently than before. The national media both encourages and adds to their derision of conservatives. Suddenly every Republican in town is shopping his own terms of surrender. The biggest challenge for Democrats isn’t getting their way. It’s that there are so many offers, it’s hard to know which one to take. Politico labeled the spectacle a “buyer’s market” for Barack Obama, massively understating the point. It is a buyer’s market in the sense that the day after the Super Bowl is a buyer’s market for pork rinds.
~ Noam Scheiber on New Republic

We gave the Democrats one incredibly early Christmas gift. I’m not going to fault Ted (Cruz). He believes what he was doing was going to be helpful. But at the end of the day, you look and you ask, ‘Are we any close to defunding Obamacare are ridding ourselves of it than we were?’ The answer is no.
~ Conservative Radio Host Mike Huckabee, possible 2016 GOP Primary contender against Cruz

So you have this neighbor who has been making your life hell. First he tied you up with a spurious lawsuit; you’re both suffering from huge legal bills. Then he threatened bodily harm to your family. Now, however, he says he’s willing to compromise: He’ll call off the lawsuit, which is to his advantage as well as yours. But in return you must give him your car. Oh, and he’ll stop threatening your family — but only for a week, after which the threats will resume.
Not much of an offer, is it? But here’s the kicker: Your neighbor’s relatives, who have been egging him on, are furious that he didn’t also demand that you kill your dog.
And now you understand the current state of budget negotiations.
~ Economist Paul Krugman in NYT

Representative Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on Young Turks via Raw Story
The Young Turks caught up with the Texas Republican on Friday at the Values Voter Summit and asked him if he would vote on any deal to raise the debt ceiling.
“It just depends on what it is,” he replied. “The word ‘deal’ concerns me… if it’s good for America.”
“Would you allow us to default on our debt?” a reporter from The Young Turks wondered.
“No, that would be an impeachable offense by the president,” Gohmert declared.

Shutdown Continues with GOP Derp Dissonance Follies ~ Updated

photo cogDisMeter.png

Cognitive Dissonance: "the feeling of uncomfortable tension which comes from holding two conflicting thoughts in the mind at the same time."

I Need My Paycheck, And You Don't

. . . you know what? I've got a nice house and a kid in college, and I'll tell you we cannot handle it. Giving our paycheck away when you still worked and earned it? That's just not going to fly.
~ Rep. Lee Terry, R-Nebraska

I'm working. Anybody else who is in my office is being paid if they're working.
~ Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa

I need my paycheck. That's the bottom line. I understand that there may be some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think that's admirable. I'm not in that position.
~ Representative Renee Ellmers R-North Carolina after helping to shut down the American Government and putting 800,000 workers on unpaid furlough

Update
Update 2:45 p.m.: In response to the firestorm surrounding her controversial paycheck comments, Rep. Renee Ellmers has just released a statement saying she has asked that her paycheck be withheld for the duration of the shutdown.
In her letter to the House Chief Administrative Officer, Ellmers insists she was unaware that Congress was still getting paid during the shutdown — a claim that clearly contradicts her earlier remarks.

Respect on a Ritz Cracker, or Something

From an MSNBC Interview with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus
Reince Priebus: The President won't negotiate with any Republican in office. I mean, he has redefined what being the "party of no" is all about.
Thomas Roberts: Reince, with all due respect - and if you're looking at the long game here -
Reince Priebus: All due respect, I like this. Keep it coming, Thomas.
Thomas Roberts: . . . Do you support the Tea Party tactics of what they're doing in the House right now? And do you fear that's going to have consequences come 2014?
Reince Priebus: It's not Tea Party tactics. This is what the American People want. They don't want Obamacare. They want a government that's open. And they have a President that refuses to lead.
. . .
Thomas Roberts: But does the Constitution really allow the Republican Party to take the government hostage and to shut it down?
Reince Priebus: (laughing) Does the Constitution allow for a bill to become a law? Is that what you're asking?
Thomas Roberts: No - the tactic - and we don't need a civics lesson here because I can give you a civics lesson, Reince -
Reince Priebus: I remember Saturday morning cartoons, how a bill becomes a law. Maybe you should watch it.
Thomas Roberts: Thank you so much, Reince. With all due respect.
Reince Priebus: All due respect, right.

We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is.
~ Rep. Marlin Stutzman R-Indiana

Think about that. You have already gotten the opportunity to serve the American people. There's no higher honor than that. So the American people aren't in the mood to give you a goodie bag to go with it.
~ President Obama, referring to Marlin Stutzman's statement

Yesterday, I carelessly misrepresented the ongoing budget debate and Speaker (John) Boehner’s work on behalf of the American people. Despite my remarks, it’s clear that the American people want both parties to come to the table to reopen the government, tackle this nation’s debt crisis, and stop Obamacare’s pain.
~ Rep. Stutzman Rebutting his own Statement

Be Ashamed of the Shutdown that I Caused

President Obama is so fixated on forcing Obamacare on the American people that he's even willing to deny World War II veterans the right to access the memorial they have earned through their heroic service.
This scenario encapsulates the bigger problem in Washington. President Obama is so set on imposing his destructive, far-left ideology that his government is literally barricading World War II veterans out of their memorial and blocking funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
~ Senator Ted Cruz

First This:
This is about the happiest I've seen members in a long time, because we see we are starting to win this dialogue on a national level.
~ Michele Bachmann on Fox News, thrilled with the House Shutdown
Then That:
They're not gonna lock you up, brother. They're going to have to get through me first.
~ Rep. Michele Bachmann R-Minnesota to WWII Veterans waiting to view the War Memorial, which was closed due to the House Government Shutdown





Some idiot in the government sent goons out there to set up barricades so they couldn't see the monument. People had to spend hours setting up barricades where there are never barricades, to prevent people from seeing the World War II monument, because they're trying to play a charade.
~ Senator Rand Paul to Sean Hannity on Fox News

There is no reason for this to be closed, this was done to create pain for those who saved our country. The Lincoln Memorial wasn't even closed in '95, people intentionally did this. Next thing you know they're going to put drapes on Mount Rushmore
~ Rep. Louie Gohmert R-Texas

The Obama administration has decided they want to make the government shutdown as painful as possible, even taking the unnecessary step of keeping the Greatest Generation away from a monument built in their honor. That’s not right, and it’s not fair. So the RNC has put aside enough money to hire five security personnel to keep this memorial open to veterans and visitors. Ideally, I’d hope to hire furloughed employees for this job.
~ Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus

They must believe P.T. Barnum ~ 'there's a sucker born every minute.' . . . How can you lose to such political lightweights as this guy (Reince Priebus)? ... These Puppetoons.
~ Chris Matthews of MSNBC on Hardball

Let's Shout at Innocent Public Servants

NBC Washington ~ Congressman Randy Randy Neugebauer R-TX vs. DC Park Ranger
"How do you look at them and... deny them access?" said Neugebauer. He, with most House Republicans, had voted early Sunday morning to pass a funding measure that would delay the Affordable Care Act, a vote that set up a showdown with the Senate and President Barack Obama. With the parties unable to agree on how to fund the federal government, non-essential government functions shut down Tuesday.

"It's difficult," responded the Park Service employee.
"Well, it should be difficult," replied the congressman, who was carrying a small American flag in his breast pocket.
"It is difficult," responded the Park Service employee. "I'm sorry, sir."
"The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," the congressman said.
"I'm not ashamed," replied the ranger.



At that point, a crowd of onlookers got involved. "Ask those questions of the people who aren't passing the budget," shouted a voice from the crowd. "That's who you need to ask these questions to."
"This woman is doing her job, just like me," shouted another. "I'm a 30-year federal veteran -- I'm out of work."
The man, wearing a bicycle helmet, at this point was face to face with the congressman.
"Well, the reason you are is because Mr. Reid decided to shut down the government," responded Neugebauer, referring to the top Senate Democrat.
"No, it's because the government won't do its job and pass a budget," the bicyclist responded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just saw the video of you badgering the park ranger at the mall for not letting vets in to see the memorial. I guess they're right when they say everything's bigger in Texas because you sir a one giant douchebag. She was doing her job because congress can't do its job.
~ Brian R. on Rep. Neugebauer's Facebook Page

I do not understand how you can berate a Park Ranger who was forced to turn WWII vets away as a result of the government shut-down, and then do a total about-face and proclaim in an interview that you will keep the shut down going for "as long as it takes."
~ Sylvia W. on Rep. Neugebauer's Facebook Page

They WERE letting the veterans in! As well they should have. Then %*&^$! shows up and harasses the ranger? What in the world is happening here?????
~ Charlie G. on Rep. Neugebauer's Facebook Page

Shame on you. The park ranger you badgered stood there taking your abuse for just doing her job, but you ran like a coward when confronted by the furloughed employee who called you out for not doing yours. Michelle Bachman announces her delight at shutting down the government, then bemoans the WWII memorial shutdown. Tea party Republicans are a disgrace.
~ Jackie S. on Rep. Neugebauer's Facebook Page

Let Our Idiots Go: Bachmann, Gohmert and King in Egypt

photo e980145e-ed59-4619-a4e0-a9b553eb9a2c.jpg

We want to make sure that you have the Apache helicopters, the F-16s, the equipment that you have so bravely used to capture terrorists and to take care of this menace that’s on your border. Many of you have asked, do we understand who the enemy is? We can speak for ourselves. We do.
We have seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed here for the people in Egypt. We've seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed around the world. We stand against this great evil. We are not for them. We remember who caused 9/11 in America. We remember who it was that killed 3,000 brave Americans. We have not forgotten. We know that you have dealt with that enemy as well.
~ Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-Minn, in Egypt

The American people do not support the Muslim Brotherhood. We oppose all forms of terror and terrorism.
~ Steve King, R-Iowa

We met with for a long meeting General el-Sissi and many of the military leaders, and my friend Steve King mentioned again about our heritage in America. George Washington, doing what no one had ever done before him, led a military in revolution, won the revolution, and then resigned and went home.
And we met, in General el-Sissi, a man who is leader of the military, who might have a shot at being elected president, but is more concerned about giving his life to help his country, Egypt.
~ Congressman Louie Gohmert, R-Texas



. . . a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit — unbelievable, ludicrous, almost comic if it wasn’t so painful.
~ Samer Shehata, a political scientist at the University of Oklahoma who studies Egypt and the Brotherhood, in New York Times

There are times when the U.S. Congress seems to almost exist in a parallel reality which defies any sense of logic or reason to the real world. There are also times when certain individuals within that reality are just bizarre in their idealistic foundation to the point that they stretch the boundaries of sanity. In a video released Saturday, three Republican congress members made a strong case for the latter.
. . . Bachmann herself stated that the delegation had been asked, ‘Do you understand who the enemy is?’ The reasoning for that question to be asked seems pretty obvious. They have no clue, and are blinded by their own bigotry toward Muslim faith.
