Anything at all?

Wipe out child labor laws: check

Life beginning at conception: check

Mandatory counseling for couples with minor children seeking a divorce: check

drug testing for people receiving unemployment benefits: check


What the fuck is next?

4. I can only think they are being driven by delusions.
Or the reporting of those actions are false.


Here is the concept. It is possible those things are being done, it is possible they are not. If they are, then the fault is on those people as you state, but it is just as likely that those things are not done by them and your post, or where you get the information for your post, is wrong.


I been thinking about this, what I see mostly is the more a position is explained, the more posts try to say the opposite happens.

So if you explain why helping the poor and breaking up consolidations is a correct approach to problems, the posts say people are doing the opposite.

So why is that, the only logical reason is to try and make it seem that what you think is better does not occur, or even the opposite occurs. Sorta trying to put the thought that the reverse happens. That is only to try to make someone think they are powerless.

They might be doing those things, and might think reporting they are doing those things is somehow blinding someone. What they don't know is I don't make decisions based on some source like a post, but the credibility in each action.

So if someone did those things, it would be wrong. If they were reported with deception that would be wrong. So it is pretty simple to not think on what is 'said' but what should be done.


But anyways, I am due beer and travel money and many experiences, so what was your point again?

5. Demand the repeal of the 13th amendment pending a cost-benefit analysis by Heritage Foundation?
Edited on Mon Feb-14-11 09:10 PM by kenny blankenship
"Hey it's actually OUR amendment, America" said House Speaker and Orange Glo for Men spokesmodel John Boehner. "People forget heartland Republicans like me are the ones who proposed the 13th Amendment in the first place. And if we want to we will take it back again - uh I mean, that is we will, uh, have to take a close look at it, if the impartial, non-partisan cost-benefit analysis indicates that this is the way to make American business efficient again."

This might be a bridge too far for Republicans, but then again I've learned to never say never with these nutters. You know who will say "Certainly we can all agree that we have to go back to being efficient, if we are to compete and Win The Future."

7. A Constitutional amendment against sodomy.
With the death penalty as punishment. Of course, they'll need surveillance access to all our bedrooms in order to enforce it properly, so they'll repeal the 5th and 14th amendments first.

The Dems often piss me off, but the GOP is a nightmare.
