Another Sarah Palin Endorsee Threatens Violence

[Kulindahr]

You're full of bullshit dude.

I haven't met a SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF THEM, that can describe what they want, and why they are angry. Why do you think that fucking is Kuli? Seriously? Use that fucking brain god gave you and tell me why you think that fucking is!?!?!

Yep -- ears plugged.

They state what they want quite regularly. They're rather eloquent about why they're mad. Videos of that have been posted here -- some of them calm and well-reasoned (I'm thinking especially of the one where non-white members of the Tea Party came forward to speak their piece).

I meet them all the time who can explain themselves -- at the beach, at the laundromat, at the food bank. Some are rather incoherent, others are reasonably articulate. Some just repeat talking points, others reason for themselves.

Since you have your ears plugged -- and your eyes, because their points have been stated in CE & P where I know you're reading...

They're mad because we have a debt headed for the moon. They're mad at a government that just keeps intruding more and more into our private lives. They're mad at two parties who keep driving jobs overseas. They're mad because neither party respects the whole Constitution. And more.

And what they want is all of that trimmed back. They don't have specifics, most of them, because government has gotten so complex and vast it's hard for any ordinary person to begin to fathom where and how cuts should be made. But they generally agree on a few things, especially ditching unconstitutional departments, like Education and Energy.

The only way you could not know that is to be deliberately plugging your ears and editing what your eyes see.

Here's a deal the Democrats could offer the Republicans: we put a national Castle Doctrine in a bill killing DOMA, establishing ENDA, and doing away with DADT, and we all vote for it.....

See, another reasonable solution!

Just for them, I'm going to make a point of avoiding American products the next time I go shopping, and we'll see how well economic xenophobia works for them. So far I've been agnostic about who makes my stuff, but maybe they have a point. Let's see how that improves the US balance of trade.

It used to be called "statesmanship". You offer to vote for something that sets your teeth on edge, and the other guy votes for something that sets his teeth on edge, and the result is something accomplished for everyone. They called it compromise.

Now that word means reducing things to such a weenie pile of mush it doesn't do much at all for anyone at all.

But these days, how do you even tell it's American?

I'd think the thing to do would be to go ahead and buy what says "Made in the USA" but refuse to buy anything with an American label that says "Made in China", "Made in Korea", Made in Mexico", "Made in Taiwan"....

To the ReligioPublicans, anything except a theocracy with them in charge IS "a hellish cataclysm".

What times we live in.

The day before yesterday Centexfarmer taught us about the Texas Castle Law. Very informative, however, and I hope this doesn't get to the Palin crowd, but here in Corpus Christi someone did a hit and run accident that killed a man. Trouble is they had to get out of their car, pull the guy out from under their car, and drive off. Now if this gets to the Palin crowd you can imagine what could happen.
Texas. Live with it!
