Comment Re:A reminder to Republicans: (Score 1) 944

The Republican rank and file were fine with the "Patriot" Act, and were the ones calling people America-hating terrorist sympathizing Muslim Communist traitors.

The Republican rank and file believe in personal choices as long as the personal choices are approved by Bible-thumping fundamentalists.

Don't hand me that line of bull about being against "excessive intrusion into people's personal choices".

1) The EISA passed both houses of Congress with a veto-proof majority, one of the last times the Democrats and Republicans agreed on anything. Y'all were fer it before you were agin' it.

2) B. Hussein Osama was part of that veto-proof majority. So yeah, he's marginally more responsible than george w. bush for takin' yer light bulbs.

Fine. Let's swarm every corner of this country with Homeland Security goons to collar anyone who looks a little brown, ask him Sus papeles, por favor, and beat the mierda out of him when he answers in English, all in the name of freedom. Let's build the Great Wall of Texas.

And the Tea Party can be the ones to propose some taxes to pay for it all.

The US has healthcare and compulsory treatment of those with emergency medical needs.

And it is so much more efficient and humane to fight fires in the emergency room than to get people the treatement they need before there's a crisis.

Contrary to what you may have read in or heard about from the US media, which is dominated by people who support govt running the US healthcare system,

Citation needed.

there is no crisis in US healthcare, no widespread lack of access.

Because it is so much more efficient and humane to fight fires in the emergency room than to get people the treatement they need before there's a crisis.

So, then, propose how many people and resources it will take to stop that last wetback, to swarm this whole country with goons asking Sus papeles, por favor of anyone they think looks foreign and beating the mierda out of them when they answer in English.

And then propose some taxes to pay for it all. And then STFU and pay those taxes. The people who yell loudest about the border are also the ones who yell loudest about taxes.

Bring in nerds to try and turn cons into high tech entrepreneurs? Why not bring in Itzhak Perlman to teach them all how to be first-chair violinists? These guys need anger management, substance abuse counseling, and a job. They don't need angel financing.

Earth calling paiute, come in paiute. This program is about getting them one of those three things.

You must also think that literacy tests were about ensuring that voters could read the ballot and that poll taxes were about raising revenue.

The purpose of "voter ID", which is the least of the shenanigans that the Plutocrat Party is pulling, is job security for the scumbag politicians who are trying to push it through.

What I most dislike about the rental versions is that they often have trailer after trailer and they disable the "skip this" button. (Note to DVD vendors: DO. NOT. DO. THAT. If I choose to skip the trailer, you have already lost the sale. Giving me that damned icon instead of doing as I asked only annoys me.)
