You know it had to happen, with all these throw back cokes and such...

That we would have throw back laws birth control.

I just don't get it.

The only thing I think they are doing is that they think the people would forget it in their hatred of president Obama.

Maybe they, the republicans, see this is, with the changing demographics, their last best shot to establish a theocracy.

I don't get it either.

The women voters are so alienated from all this mess, and these jokers don't even see it. I really hope that the fall elections are a huge and painful surprise for the Republican party.

I want to blindside the fuck out of them!

It's not just the handiness of sexual issues and such in whipping up the base into an electoral frenzy in which they overlook minor things like their own enslavement, but once in power the bosses can use the theocratic structure to keep the peasants in line, forever obedient to the hierarchy.

... only if it's not the wrong KIND of theocracy like in those countries that don't like Israel.
