the Kommisariat's Kontinuing Kronicles: more right-wingery in the USA, 2k11-12

Yeah, that's a dosage thing, like with cops getting nut cancer from radar guns. Walking thru a checkpoint won't damage really damage you, presumably, sitting next to it for 40 hours a week has a far better chance of it.

Then again, I don't really know what I'm talking about.

And there's a followup:

With the way the country is going down the toilet abortion is about last on the list of my concerns, Jeremy. The federal government now has the right to detain citizens without a trial and lock them in secret prisons. Every single day read about a new threat to my BASIC rights. WTF, do you really think I care about abortion? It's one of those issues no one will ever agree on. Some people feel it's an act of violence on another human being. Some people feel it's a freedom. The only fair thing to do here is make it a state's decision. Pretty much ALL decisions should be state's decisions: drugs, prostitution, murder, pornography, violence, seat belts- anything. The minute the big federal bureaucracy steps in everything just gets convoluted and 100x's more expensive. The only thing that the federal government should deal with is protecting our LIBERTY and the right for states to make their own decisions on hot topic x, y or z. This is the only way everyone will be happy. That way if you want abortion so bad you can be a Californian. If you don't, move to Texas- everyone wins. For me abortion is a "freedom" that I would never require (only in a case where I might die if I didn't have one and even then I would do everything I could to avoid it) because I take responsibility for my actions. Now, I would like the freedom to bring my goddamned FIJI water with me on the fucking airplane and not be felt up when I'm doing it!

She wants to be oppressed by her state government, bcz the feds make such a cock up of it? Except, imagine if every state had different airport security regulations. Total chaos.

The only thing that the federal government should deal with is protecting our LIBERTY and the right for states to make their own decisions on hot topic x, y or z

Like slavery. And sodomy. And interracial marriage. And so forth.

Federalism is dead, and good fucking riddance, I say.

Legalize it.

is there anywhere where we're just cyclically pasting & repasting parts of the guy's 'i may eat tacos' speech?

Lol!!! Satanic cookie!

http://gawker.com/5879254/which-companies-are-using-aborted-human-fetuses-in-their-food

Last week, Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shortey introduced a bill that would ban "the manufacture or sale of food or products which use aborted human fetuses." But which foods or products use aborted human fetuses? Let's investigate.

NPR speculates that Shortey's bill has to do with a recent boycott aimed at PepsiCo for working with a company called Senomyx that "has been accused of using proteins derived from human embryonic kidney cells in its research....

Two Republican govs say Obama was mean to them in person (for things they wrote about him)

If only he'd be so assertive with America's enemies. But then again, I suppose, an "enemy" is really in the eye of the beholder.

uuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yes, if there's one thing Obama has been super lax on, it's enemies of America

Number of Osama Bin Ladins killed by Republicans: 0
Number of Osama Bin Ladins killed by Obama: 1

ha that makes it sound like Obama led the charge into the house

i want to make a bar graph of that superimposed over a photo of bin ladin and post it on fb

yes, if there's one thing Obama has been super lax on, it's enemies of America

Yes, he's been too soft on himself for a start

Girl scouts getting some money from me thanks to that graphic.

Friends,

I need your help!

When I met President Obama this week, I really wasn’t pointing at him. I was telling him, “You have ONE more year!” The President needs to be reminded that he is the President of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC and not a KING lording over state governors.

While I wanted to talk to him about jobs, our economy and visiting our border, President Obama criticized my book, Scorpions for Breakfast, and then walked away from me.
We deserve results over rhetoric, but this is a President who had the audacity to sue me and Arizona in my efforts to protect our country from illegal immigration!

Mitt Romney will beat Barack Obama because a majority of the country already knows that the president is an epic failure at his job, and a thin-skinned, self-absorbed ideologue to boot.

All the noise about Romney's wealth and the nonsense about his "effective tax rate" won't make a lick of difference to a voter afraid of losing his or her job or fearing for their children's future.

All the left's harrumphing about Bain just isn't going matter to a country desperate for competence and character, discipline and the values of hard work, thrift and sacrifice.

is this breitbart/derrick bell stuff too 'mainstream' for this thread

just to catch people up if theyre interested

- breitbart is bragging before he dies that he has a video that will bring down obama
- today buzzfeed says theyve got the video breitbart was talking about: a boston public news broadcast about obama (as pres of harvard law review) coming out in support of (harvard law prof) derrick bell's push for the school to hire more women/minorities. was apparently a big deal at the time as obama was seen as moderate on campus.
- breitbart outlets accuse buzzfeed of -- not even joking here this is a direct quote -- "selective editing"
- breitbart.com publishes their video. it is... exactly the same as buzzfeeds. except lower quality.
- PBS also publishes the video to show its not edited

It's hard to imagine this can catch much fire in 2012. If the "Ayers connection" didn't convince you, why would Derrick Bell?

possibly the funniest thing about the whole kerfluffle is that PBS ran clips from the speech in 2008 as part of their election special. breitbart could have avoided this whole thing if only hed watched PBS!

it's really underwhelming. breitbart was promoting this thing so hard, and it's like, this is his posthumous masterpiece and it's pretty lackluster

r.i.p. big man

breitbart and bell are both dead now

isn't that ~convenient~

saw the video on buzzfeed. so that's... it? i assume hannity's going to spend 89% of the segment talking up what a 'radical' bell was.

BEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAVE! /beetbort

oh shit i cant believe obama was for a place hiring more non white men. shocked and outraged by this kenyan socialist witch doctor i am, what a terrorist.

Just checking, racialist = he talked about race and this word sounds like racist, y?

Racialist began its life as a word that meant: someone who believed the conventionally-identified races, which at the time were mostly color-coded as yellow, black, brown, white, red, were inherently quite distinct from one another, and that one could isolate these qualities and be certain to find them in any "pure-blooded" individual of that race. From that unpromising beginning it was a baby step to the whole modern racist fiasco.
