- Kathleen Sebelius is asking all card-carrying commies to send an e-greeting to our Dear Leader Barack Obama, in support of his Red Menace public option. Chuck Grassley correctly identified this atrocity as Maoist propaganda wrapped in bacon. And it smells delicious. [Hot Air]

- What has happened to our America? Hm? Black people sit on their bums, and collect their Social Security. Honest businessmen aren’t allowed to give to charity, it’s illegal! And our youth — teenagers fuck on the first date. And, God help us, that’s just the way it is. [Townhall]

The teenaged girls I knew in my youth didn’t do it on the first date. Or they did and I didn’t know how to ask.
Is this where I buy tickets to see Chimpy Bush mumble shit for only $19.00?
I would prefer my anal probe be done by Barney Frank, Micheal Steele’s hands are just too big.
You know, if RedState is so keen on toppling Net Neutrality, they can start making preemptive payments to my cable company to have RedState moved through their tubes.
Depth charges are out. Drones are in.
I presume the Red Staters won’t mind forking over the requisite buckets o cash for passable service when net neutrality is successfully defeated. Freedom isn’t free after all.
“The “greatest generation” mostly lived within their means.” Cal Thomas is so full of shit. If I weren’t a lazy-ass baby-boomer like Cal, I’d go look up how big the deficit was in Dubya-Dubya II, and prove that the greatest generation borrowed the money they needed to end the Depression and win the war.
Before all that naughty first-date teenager sex came along, “The ‘greatest generation’ mostly lived within their means.”
Now they are living beyond our means, with their fancy Medicare life extending.
Once again, RedState warns of an attack on “Freedom” by limiting corporations’ ability to control what information the rest of us can access. That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Apparently Google is paying someone to offer well reasoned and level headed assessments of why Neil is so fucking stupid, according to Neil. I really hate people who argue against Net Neutrality without understanding the underlying technology.
Seriously, is Red State that beholden to the Big Cable? Or are they just against anything libruls like at this point? What a bunch of utter tools.
All I have to say is, a sister’s love is stronger than death!
[re=440940]Dumptruck[/re]: Yea, but Stevens’ blah blah blah rejoinder is such a winning, intelligent argumentative strategy!
[re=440944]StoneAge[/re]: I’m guessing it’s the latter, because the only things they’re *for* in their platform, apparently, is ghay buttsecks in airport bathrooms.
yes, everybody underestimates the power of blah blah blah, even me.
[re=440946]snideinplainsight[/re]: Ummm. Now I have a taste for dark chocolate.
That Cal Thomas piece is really a piece of work; and shows that he’s ignorant of American law and history. Some quotes:
“Government can spend, tax and do whatever it wishes.”
Yes; it says so right in the first clause Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, and again in the 16th Amendment.
“Did we have fewer poor people before government stepped in to “cure” poverty? Do we have fewer now?”
Now; LBJ’s war on poverty was highly successful, and the poverty rate is still much lower (although Reagan and following turned things back a bit).
“Will we ever reach a limit where government says “no more, we’ve done enough; you’re on your own now”?”
And there it goes; you admit the shit you want, ass.
I think this perfectly summarizes right-wing “free market at all costs” lunacy. From the RedState Net Neutrality article:
Some conservatives have signed onto radical socialist groups like Save the Internet because they were led to believe that telecoms would censor them, when in fact they’ve jumped from the frying pan of big corporations to the fire of big government censorship. One can always get a new ISP in a competitive market if a particular firm becomes anti-Christian, anti-2nd Amendment, or anti-Republican in general. Choosing a new government is less practical.
Choosing a new government? You mean like… voting? SO IMPRACTICAL I KNOW!
i refuse to click on any of those links, in the name of freedom.
But seriously people, here’s a list of the members of Congress who are on record opposing Net Neutrality: https://secure.freepress.net/site/SPageNavigator/NN_members
And here’s a way to support the FCC’s rules, and to spite RedState:

Coming tomorrow: Redstate kicks off a campaign urging all Americans to send desecrated Swiss flags to their legislators, to symbolize opposition to net neutrality.
[re=440964]Godot[/re]: I don’t know… for ISPs, I get to choose (only) between the telephone company and the cable company (it’s so competitive!), but with voting, only one option actually really matters since it’s all so gerrymandered.
Now, if the phone and cable companies didn’t get to rely on government-enforced eminent domain and I could charge them obnoxious fees for running their wires across my property, I’d be down with that kind of “free market.”
[re=440944]StoneAge[/re]: Red State is against anything that Libruls are fer.
Can’t these zero-government, free-market types just move to Somalia? Seems to me that piracy-for-ransom is an ultimate expression of a market-driven enterprise unfettered by government bureaucrats.
“Will we ever reach a limit where government says “no more, we’ve done enough; you’re on your own now”?
Well CAL, you old SHITBIRD, let’s start with yer Soc. Security and Medicare, surely you’ve surpasses your contributions and then let’s cut defense expenditures (psst they are 66% of the God damn budget) MORE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE RIGHTIES!
WE HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT OF WHAT RECTAL PROBING CAN TEACH US.
[re=440976]WarAndG[/re]: “Will we ever reach a limit where government says ‘no more, we’ve done enough; you’re on your own now’”?
I think we did reach that limit; it was called the Bush administration.
Apparently Net Neutrality is the latest wave of the coming Communist takeover. Right up there with Rural Electrification, Telephones, and providing health care to sick people.
Damn, those commies and they way the make peoples’ lives better.
[re=440974]Georgia Burning[/re]: I’ve thought the same for a long time. Hey, Ron Paul fans, your utopias exist and they’re real! Just head to sub-Saharan Africa. No government to get in your way, and you can live and die by your dollar!
[re=440946]snideinplainsight[/re]: The TheThe The The concur, as do I I.
[re=441020]Extemporanus[/re]: And did I happen to mention “The”?
[re=440939]JMP[/re]: The neoconservatives’ greatest strength is a lack of a sense of irony, much like a sorority girl’s lack of a gag reflex.
[re=440965]Crank Tango[/re]: Dont forget “the troops”.
[re=440944]StoneAge[/re]: The formula is: X will pay me to be for/against Y. Therefore, I am for/against Y. You can’t make money hawking libril causes.
[re=440974]Georgia Burning[/re]: Damn you! I am jonesing for your screen name and icon.
“Data” is a plural word. “The data ARE clear.” “Datum” is singular.
You may safely return to groovin’ on Michael Steele.
Did you guys know that “going rogue” is British slang for unprotected anal sex?
Riley–however many “iPods” they’re paying you to read RedState, Michelle Malkin and TownHall everyday…it’s not enough.
[re=440973]Catholics4Condoms[/re]: It really makes me wonder: would the easiest way to get Republican votes for Health Care reform to actively campaign against it, as a self-proclaimed commie librul?
[re=440965]Crank Tango[/re]: I agree. I clicked the Hot Air link today, ignorant of what it was. After reading one article and four comments, I had to go take a bath. I just have to trust the summaries; I won’t give them a hit.
“Will we ever reach a limit where government says “no more, we’ve done enough; you’re on your own now”?”
We will reach that limit the same day when business reaches the limit of where they say “we’ve made (read: hoarded) enough money (i.e. all of the money in the world); the end,” Cal. Fuck off, your religious nutjob.
