At one point in the chaotic Louisiana Board of Secondary and Elementary Education meeting in Baton Rouge on Wednesday, a local Christian extremist pastor, Tony Spell, announced as the elected officials tried to start things, "Lets welcome the board to our meeting today." He was standing on a chair, surrounded by a couple of hundred people there to protest the school mask mandate issued by Governor John Bel Edwards. Despite the requirement, almost none of the gathered flesh lumps wore masks in the tight space.
Spell, his hair greased back, declared, "King Edwards is the biggest lawbreaker in the state history," an objectively false statement since, you know, the fucking state was pretty much founded by pirates. Hell, even if Edwards were breaking the law, he wouldn't be the biggest lawbreaker who was governor. The ghosts of Huey Long and Edwin Edwards (no relation to John Bel) must have been thinking, "What the fuck? Forget about us already?"
But facts were hard to come by in the meeting room, as they are in all these school board and other meetings where whiny assholes wail about their children's loss of freedom and order is barely or not maintained and no one has the fucking guts to say to the cops there, "Arrest these dumb pricks. They're too stupid to walk and breathe at the same time."
After watching and reading about a bunch of the anti-mask uproars, two things are perfectly clear:
1. You don't fucking know how to raise your kids better just because you pooped them out or spewed some jizz into a woman who pooped out your kids.
2. These motherfuckers really do think they're revolutionaries.

(25,949 posts)4. Well, RP's latest rant will clear your sinuses right up.
There is no way on god's green earth that some rando from Lansdale, PA came up with a Nuremberg Code argument against masks without some help. (Apologies to all the sane people in Lansdale, but you know I'm right.) Where did she get it from? *drumroll* Facebook. Yes, I'm as shocked as you are.
"This shit is just neighbors attacking neighbors."
No, this shit is the astro-turfiest thing to come along since the Tea Party, and somebody is having a high time (and probably making some Koch money) stuffing the skulls of the gullible idiots (and the just plain hateful) over at Facebook with all kinds of nonsense.
"It's less 1776 and more Lord of the Flies."
Bingo.

At least temporarily. Any speaker gets out of line:
