They don’t exist. They are a convenient fiction, a chimera, an Obama growth plan, a faerie riding a unicorn on the way to slay dragons with the help of a misunderstood troll.
And each and every time you fall for their easy and empty political bromides — be it in West Virginia or Colorado or Pennsylvania or Michigan, etc. — they will use that opportunity to rob you of some of your liberties. For your own good, naturally. And for the children.
This time, it’s all about disarming you. Last time, it was all about taking away your health care choices.
That their designs happen also to expand the power of the progressive centralized Leviathan? Purely coincidental.
At least, that’s what you keep telling yourselves. Else why on earth would you continue voting for these lying, opportunistic dickbags?

I heard Meghan’s coward daddy loves him some robust background checking
McCain has pissed away any hopes he had of being a Good Man™ and is now intent on making us as miserable as he is.
That tears it; McCain is out in my book.
Oh, wait, he already has been for a very long time… .
It’s been said before, but we are living in Ayn Rand’s world now.
Enrak Ayn rand didn’t make that stuff up. He father was a pharmacist in Russia during the revolution and she saw the threats and the seizure of his business, and people disappearing first hand. She got out and stayed out and wrote about what she saw. She is no prophet. She was an eye witness.
Also despite her diatribes against the dangers of altruism as a motivation she financially supported her not very successful actor/writer husband Frank O’Conner (No, not the Irish short story writer, OR the guy who does Halo video games) with her writing proceeds long after she decided to basically abandon monogamy and move in with and fuck other prettier and richer men. So she had something like a heart buried in all the aristotelian creative ideal stuff. She just didn’t want to be coerced into such arrangements by the government or some bitchy group calling itself the voice of society. She died in the early 80’s so Sadly she did not live to see 1988 and 89 though I am sure that she knew it was coming sooner or later.
Shockingly, Sen McCaskill evolved on SSM after lying to her voters for the last few years.
Yeah, I know paleo. I read “We the Living” before I read “Atlas”. What a mess we are facing.
Hug your loved ones.
Funny how, regardless of party, everybody always “evolves” in the same direction.
Seriously, when’s the last time you heard of a politician who left office more conservative than when he entered it?
Never happens, Ernst. The only times you see a conversion to conservatism is if one of these jokers goes out and gets a real job after Congress. Say, by trying to open an inn and learning just how much time and money it takes to get through all the red tape.
Honest citizens seeking to exercise their constitutional rights need to be background-checked, but crooked politicians running for president, or criminals entering the country illegally, not so much.
Don’t forget that to buy a gun you get an anal exam that you can be jailed for lying in answer to any question, plus ID.
Voting though, no problem, no questions, no ID, hell they’ll even fill it out the paperwork and the ballot for you, in advance, just sign and go. Next precinct, rinse-repeat.
True that, Geoff. Arkansas’s governor (bless his heart) just gave the thumbs down to voter ID.
Yup, he is a democrat.
Voters who keep falling for the promise of “conservative” Democrats are hopeless and need to just be ignored.
It’s the voters who keep falling for the promise of conservative Republicans that need a good talking to.
Voter ID is one thing, voter party registration (partisanly arranged and conducted by an organ of goverment) is altogether another thing.
Wasn’t that happening with the Motor Voter deal under Clinton, too?
All these crooks start to run together.
There are hardly any conservative Republicans in DC.
Despite what anyone may think, this is not a news report suggesting Ray LaHood should be hung by the neck until dead for the crime of theft of public monies. Not at all. On the other hand, it isn’t a report of praise for the man exactly.
