I'm tired of people promoting US political viewpoints by projecting them on the founding fathers. It's 2011, those guys lived before 1800, shit changes. We've got a shitload of laws, amendments, and judicial judgments since then and we have a pretty stable landscape, so stop acting like your great idea is "more faithful to the original intentions" or some other bullshit.
It's like they're afraid to recognize that we've had decent ideas and they keep having to dig up Thomas Jefferson to put words in his mouth.

i'm still trying to figure out the bubble popping -- maybe i guess the bubble solution stands for "capital" and popping bubbles stands for, idk, "profit"? so it's supposed to teach them how many more bubbles they can pop / profit they can earn when they all have their own bubble solution / capital? no fucking clue. jesus.

It's not the founding fathers these dudes love, it's the romantic idea of the founding fathers, which absolves them of responsibility for the present. What did the founding fathers think about the income tax, health care, abortion, oil, war in the middle east, etc? Pretty much nothing.

Yet, all it would take is for one state to recognize that – real or fraudulent – the document he released affirms he does not meet the requirements of a "natural born citizen." In fact, he is a walking, talking, breathing example of what a "natural born citizen" is not – complete with the dual loyalties the founders feared.

If I were as prone to sloganizing as Mamet, I’d keep clear of bumper-sticker comparisons altogether.
I wonder what a smart but mislead writer like Mamet thinks about being taken down by an equally smart writer who a) can't be easily dismissed as an idiot and b) can't be dismissed a mere ideological analog? I bet a Mamet response would be predictably bellicose, but surely he'd recognize, at least privately, that he just got his ass kicked in public.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/06/sovereign_citizen_thrown_out_of_pizza_chain_bankru.php
The case centers around Giordano's owner John Apostolou, who was forced to give up his control of the pizza chain, which he's owned since 1988, after his businesses fell into $45.5 million worth of debt. The chain has been under bankruptcy protection since February, but Apostolou only lost control after he submitted some court filings in the style of the sovereign citizen movement. One filing declared that Apostolous and his wife are "American Freemen, free inhabitants of the Illinois state, and we find it impossible to obtain State declared Legal Tender at Law." They also said they don't believe in U.S. currency or the legal system, typical beliefs of sovereign citizens, who generally consider almost all branches of the U.S. government to be illegitimate.

The rules set up by Mall of America officials for Sarah and Bristol Palin's book signing yesterday seemed to have been written in anticipation of an army of fans."'Camping out' is not allowed," the rules read. "Beginning at 5 a.m., guests will be allowed to line up."But there was no teeming crowd of rabid Palinites at 5 a.m. And less than a half hour into the appearance of Bristol, Sarah, and Todd Palin, the crowd had dwindled to a trickle of latecomers.

In an interview with local radio station KRBD, Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) recalled his father's ranch and the old fashioned way things were done on it. Fair enough, right? Well, yes. Aside from the racial slur Young used to describe workers on the ranch."My father had a ranch. We used to hire 50 or 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes," Young said in the interview. "You know, it takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."Young apologized later, blaming the usage on his upbringing. "I used a term that was commonly used during my days growing up on a farm in central California," Young said. "I know that this term is not used in the same way nowadays and I meant no disrespect."

i'm seriously considering starting a reaction.txt twitter. i'm not even going to link to this or anything, just,
"If someone is an outlaw (no defense agency wants him as a client because of a history of causing trouble), you can just kill him. If someone is a bum, and you are not, you usually get away with mistreating him, but he cannot get away with mistreating you. This makes middle class guys automatically tougher, more badboy, more macho, than underclass boys. Girls then start having sex eugenically, instead of anti eugenically."
