zero. my job was to kill them.

The school where I teach and (did) coach has just had its first LSU football commit. He's a safety prospect. 6'2", about 180. Really gonna have to change his work ethic when it comes to academics, though.

Holy shit, I almost died laughing.

It's not true, though. Right?

This is cool:

SANTORUM: They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is the government that gives you right, what’s left are no unalienable rights, what’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we do and follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.

Yes, that's right. according to Santorum, Obama wants to cut the heads off Christians.

...

The devout christian Obama, right? Not a different one with the same name?

Oh and so the premise there is that if you don't let Christians (as defined by Santorum) define your rights for you (abortion, education policy of going against scientific evidence, etc), then the ONLY possible other thing that could hapen is that some giant govgernmenk initiative under Obama will do it? And in the meantime, christians (as defined by anybody, not just Santorum) have the right to worship and live and behave in whatever way they see fit. But that's not enough. We need to ALL be doing it.

ok.

I wish he'd just be honest and say "I wanna repeal the separation of church and state."

I think the French Revolution he refers to are the 99%ers and they aint talking 'bout beheading christians but maybe lopping off the heads of big swinging dicks.

Wow.

You want a war on religion? How about we cut off Federal Financial Aid to students attending religious Uni's or Medicare/Medicaid funds to religious hospitals?

And fuck your tax exempt status too, ya ungrateful so and so's.

Cannot speak to the Grape Kool-Aid sale for BHM, but the NBC Commissary Menu "Controversy" is two years old, & resolved when the middle-age Afro-American head cook/chef explained she was making food she liked, & not stereotyping those foods as favourites of ALL Afro-Americans.

Source: Mediaite.

The hyper-Conservative Hillsdale College rejects all student-aid (NO FAFSA for enrollees) & other federal grants, but when the school is fund-raising, they encourage donors to give plenty AS THE DONATIONS MAY BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

But, I figure, our mouths have two sides, so why not use both of them?

the classic slippery slope to sodom and gomorrah argument...wins over the lobotomized every time.

if a president grows a moustache, with just a few steps down the road, we'll be carting up jews and sending them off to camps.

Is this why TR was our last mustachioed POTUS?

clearly. can't start down that road. once you grow the stache...next comes hugo boss-designed uniforms...and the rest is inevitable

I do think our president should be required to wear a uniform.


name tag would be good too

epaulets?

Absolutely. Pants should be tucked into tall boots as well.

At war in my head are two basic notions that

A) This kind of rhetoric is wildly unconstitutional and unamerican, and frankly approaching the Frightening end of the scale, versus

B) Every generation sorta kinda seems to think this, right?


So far I'm still siding with A. This strikes me as a bridge too far. Bring it on, fuckers. This is still my country, not yours.

Nah, I read an article on Truman v. McCarthy last night, and EVERY ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS WAS THE EXACT FUCKING SAME as it is today.

Chris - I'll go you one more, not just tax exempt status, but let's enforce the real rules for 501(c)3 nonprofs and make them either give up their status (so even DONATIONS would be taxable) or not do shit you're not supposed to be allowed to do (political, etc).

That would be fucking amazing to see someone truly advocating that. (I wouldn't agree with it, because like shrinking the government or a million other things, it would be a drag on the economy.

So, you're saying that both sides can twist the shit out of things to serve their agenda. How revolutionary!
