I'm surprised that they haven't also tabled motions to ban gay marriage and abortion (and indeed contraception), and put forward laws requiring everyone to be armed at all time. Oh, and of course tax breaks for everyone with more than a few million in the bank. And big companies (gotta keep the overlords happy!).

Not just armed, but to fire on anyone who presents even the smallest potential threat, cause you can never be sure if the guy staring at your coffee from across the room isn't actually staring at your heart and intent to shoot it with his gun (required by law)

I also expect someone will propose that we legalize the Purge very soon

Are you kidding? Any country with Terminator as a politician doesn't need the Purge
Although they'll probably just rename the US army "The Purge" and send them to whatever oil-producing country they think they can get away with invading... Isn't that being voted next month?

The comments section of that blog is uproariously funny.


My favs:

"Yes we know the facts, but apparently YOU do not. you throw numbers out like they mean something,, how about coming up with something FACTUAL"



" If a Dem is elected president..... Welcome to the USSA..United Socialist States of America

If a GOP is elected president.................Welcome to the USA..United States of America"


"We are living in the USSA right now under the Reign of terror known as Barry's boys"



Dafuq ? Are there really people out there that fething stupid who could possibly, even if they vehemently hate what Obama is doing - which while i don't agree, is their right to believe - that there's ANY Comparison between Stalin's Reign of Terror and the Obama administration?


Because if so, jesus h. christ, who turned up the dial on crazy and tore off the knob ?

You know how many of the first colonists in what would become the US were persecuted in their home countries and emigrated to free themselves from tyrrany? Ever wondered why they were being persecuted?

The fox news comments section does tend to be pretty good in that regard.


Edit:
Here's a good conversation:

"liberals are trying hard to ignore the reason that republicans control both houses of congress is because of obamacare"

"Didn't Obama get reelected after Obamacare?"

"yeah voter fraud"

You mean the one which, after it was put in place, increased the cost of my meds by roughly 300%?

Actually, what he's describing is nothing like the ACA.

Did you hear about this thing they said about Paris?

The french thought it was hilarious, but some of my american friends believed this and canceled their holidays in Paris.

Yep, and they all vote. And there are more stupid, crazy, or uninformed voters than there are rational, informed voters.

When I was in those areas in Paris two years ago, I did not encounter any trouble. In fact, I did not even know they were supposed to be dangerous "no-go zones".

That's tough to say. Like any city, I'm sure there are areas that aren't safe and you shouldn't go in, but I'm hesitant to believe there are actual "No non-Muslim" zones that explicitly state it.
