Wendy Davis (D-Gosnell): Majority of American women are just incapable of understanding Women’s Issues, or something … [Darleen Click]

Probably because their heteronormative cissexism and submission to the White Patriarchy has made them gender-traitors on Womyn’s Health

THE WEEKLY STANDARD: The supporters of these bans, they argue that there really isn’t much of a difference between what happened in that Philadelphia case with abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell [killing born-alive infants] 23 weeks into pregnancy and legal late-term abortions at 23 weeks. What is the difference between those two, between legal abortion at 23 weeks and what Gosnell did? Do you see a distinction between those two [acts]?

SEN. WENDY DAVIS: I don’t know what happened in the Gosnell case. But I do know that it happened in an ambulatory surgical center. And in Texas changing our clinics to that standard obviously isn’t going to make a difference. The state of the law obviously has to assure that doctors are providing safe procedures for women and that proper oversight by the health and human services department is being given. It sounds as though there was a huge gap in that oversight, and no one can defend that. But that’s not the landscape of what’s happening in Texas. […]

TWS: What do you make of polls showing that a majority of women support these late-term bans? There have been a few polls–Washington Post, Huffington Post, different polls–that show women support this. What do you think of those polls?

DAVIS: I again think that a lot of people don’t really understand the landscape of what’s happening in that arena today and what an incredibly small percentage of procedures take place there, but, ah…

    I again think that a lot of people don’t really understand

    Fortunately, we lowly Epsilon-Double-Minuses have people like her to make such decisions for us.

    Which, both her and the horse she rode in on. Sideways.

  2. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Apologies for going Godwin on all y’all, but, I don’t know what happened and people don’t really understand sound awfully familiar.

  3. palaeomerus says:

    Just because you have a vagina doesn’t mean you “have a vagina(TM)” as certified by a real liberal like Jim Moran. Duh. Reality is patriarchal and part of the false consciousness that keeps the workers down.

  4. mondamay says:

    One of the reasons Godwin is a moron, is that he thinks any comparison to Nazis must be hyperbole.

    Even if one blames every single death from WW2 on Hitler, including disease and disruption, and not simply combat, you get a high estimate of about 80 million dead around the world (the lower estimates are 50-60 million). The current number since Roe v Wade is right about 55 million. That doesn’t factor in the number of infanticides (abandoned newborns) and homicides that have occurred as a result of the resulting cultural decay from this enormous devaluation of life.

    There is no hyperbole here.

  5. mondamay says:

    I have to give some grudging kudos to Ann Coulter’s book: Demonic. It has really given me some good perspective into the thought processes of people like Wendy Davis. Unfortunately, it also points out why such minds cannot be swayed .

    Unfortunately mob appeals seem to be a guaranteed winner these days.

  6. Spiny Norman says:

    One of the reasons Godwin is a moron, is that he thinks any comparison to Nazis must be hyperbole.

    Actually, no. Godwin’s Law is nearly always misunderstood or misapplied: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.” That refers to discussions where there is no legitimate reason to invoke the “Hitler Card”, just as the “Race Card” is so commonly invoked by racial grievance-mongers when they are losing any sort of debate. If there are genuine comparisons to Hitler or the Nazis to be made, and Kermit Gosnell’s abattoir certainly deserves it, as does Wendy Davis’ laughable claims of ignorance, then Godwin’s Law does not apply.

  7. Squid says:

    “People who don’t think exactly like me are ignorant and/or stupid. Which is why I value diversity so much!”

    Little wonder these people are incoherent all the time. The cognitive dissonance has to be overwhelming.

  8. “If only those knuckle-dragging, teabagging, guns-and-religion-clinging, hobbity visigoths were smart like me–someone who not only is willfully ignorant of the details of one of the most gruesome courte cases involving abortion in the past decade, but has willingly and seemingly proudly announced my willful ignorance to the world . . .”

    They don’t plug their ears and say “Not listening!” only when a conservative or classical liberal speaks. They’ve stopped listening to their own words as well.

  9. Scott Hinckley says:

    I don’t know what happened in the Gosnell case. But I do know that it happened in an ambulatory surgical center.

    If you don’t know what happened in that case, how do you know it happened at an ambulatory surgical center, Wendy? Forget about keeping your facts straight from one speech to another – you can’t even keep them straight from one sentence to another.

  10. Libby says:

    Seems to be a word missing from her responses: baby (or even the preferred term “fetus”).

    I’m sorry the Weekly Standard didn’t spell out more clearly (of follow-up after her dodge), maybe something like, “What is the difference between those two, between legal abortion at 23 weeks and what Gosnell did – delivering the babies before ending their lives?”

  11. happyfeet says:

    i wonder what time pollo loco opens

  12. Libby says:

    “Just because you have a vagina doesn’t mean you “have a vagina(TM)” as certified by a real liberal like Jim Moran.”

    I hate to pull the mom card, but I’m always amazed when a women who has had children supports late-term abortion. You’ve seen the sonograms and felt the movement from 20 weeks on, so you know damn well that it’s no longer a ‘choice’ or a ‘clump of cells’.

  13. mondamay says:

    i wonder what time pollo loco opens

    Nothing like Gosnell references to work up an appetite, eh?

  14. Alec Leamas says:

    The tacos de infantil are my favorite.

  15. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I’m always amazed when a women who has had children supports late-term abortion.

    Short Answer: Feminism

    Not as Short Short Answer: Deliberate and systematic effort to deny nature by portraying it as either a male patriarchal construct (Friedan, et. al.) or as a condition akin to slavery from which Woman must be liberated (Sanger), or both.

  16. leigh says:

    I’m with Libby on this and I will wave my Mom Card proudly. I miscarried my first child at four months and that was a baby. Not a puppy. Not a clump of cells. A baby.

  17. Libby says:

    I here you, Ernst, but it takes some serious cognitive dissonance to ignore/suppress a 4+ month experience of feeling a living being inside you (I’m not counting the 1st trimester since the physical aspects are about non-baby things like nausea and fatigue). You can’t pretend these are just theoretical entities that don’t exist until they’re born. Above and beyond being able to ignore that Gosnell was killing live, out-of-womb babies (who were breathing, crying, etc.).

  18. Libby says:

    argh – hear, not here.

  19. happyfeet says:

    i think when you’re pregnant with a wee small baby a lot of times your final round of tests for abnormalities and such is around 18-20 weeks, so you’d have to make a decision super-fast to sneak in under the wire and get a safe fetus-friendly Rick Perry abortion

    I wonder if when faced with a time constraint like that people are more likely to make one choice over another

    I know a lot of times at pollo loco if there’s lots of people behind me I’ll just order the plain 8-piece “just chicken” and not get any sides

    This way I don’t have to think about which sides have carbs – even though I know in my heart that all of them have carbs and the healthiest choice is to just get the mixed vegetables or maybe a salad if you remember to tell them not to put tortilla strips on it… but if you rush me I just default to no sides. It’s a thing.

  20. happyfeet says:

    also it’s cheaper without the sides and the light-on-the-carbs sides aren’t really a very compelling value if you think about it

  21. Squid says:

    What is it about murdered infants that makes you so hungry, vermin?

  22. Squid says:

    i think when you’re pregnant with a wee small baby a lot of times your final round of tests for abnormalities and such is around 18-20 weeks…

    Citation needed.

  23. bgbear says:

    I’m always amazed when a women who has had children supports late-term abortion

    Just like many of us are confused by how a person can convince themselves that murder is the best solution to a problem. IMHO it is often a matter of too ignorant to know better or being so “clever” that you can convince yourself that you are doing the right thing (see “Crime and Punishment”).

  24. happyfeet says:

    we’re having a contest! I wanna win so bad so yesterday I didn’t really eat any solid foozle.

    But this morning I had to go get something cause by mid-morning I just couldn’t focus.

    Anyway wish me luck I really wanna win way bad the first prize is a fancy brand new swingline stapler plus you get to pick where to go to lunch and i either wanna go get pancakes at sweet butter or go for mofongo

  25. happyfeet says:

    Citation needed.

    here is a citation Mr. Squid, albeit a british one

    You’ll be offered an anomaly scan when you are around 18-20 weeks pregnant.

    Sounds about right to me. I used to be a wee small baby myself you know.

  26. Alec Leamas says:

    You’ll be offered an anomaly scan when you are around 18-20 weeks pregnant.

    I believe your mother is several decades overdue for the scan. Frankly, I think the scan would simply confirm what we all already know to be true.

  27. Libby says:

    Happyfeet – I was faced with that decision when, during the initial sonogram appt. at 17 weeks, my kid was diagnosed with multiple heart defects. The time crunch only matters if one will not tolerate an imperfect baby.
    I can tell you that I have never once regretted my decision, and it horrifies me now that I spent even a second thinking that it was my choice whether or not to spare him the trauma of the various surgeries or worse.

  28. happyfeet says:

    I get you Libby but I can’t make decisions like that for somebody else it’s really none of my business

  29. mondamay says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 1:35 pm –

    I can’t make decisions like that for somebody else

    Ahh, irony, considering that is exactly what abortion is…

  30. happyfeet says:

    i don’t say “ahh irony” when you make comments

  31. Ernst Schreiber says:

    While you’re researching fetal screenings at pollo loco, look up the rate false positives are returned, will you?

  32. happyfeet says:

    we need more better tests?

    nobody tells me anything

  33. Alec Leamas says:

    nobody tells me anything

    The failure, it would seem, is on the listener’s end.

    Cell-Free Fetal DNA Test

    How It’s Done A blood draw at 10 weeks

    History In 1997, researcher Dennis Lo discovered it was possible to find enough useful genetic material in the mother’s plasma to check for disorders. Some cell-free fetal DNA tests look at a cross-section of the whole genome and then check for little bits of DNA found on, say, the 21st chromosome. If there are too many of those pieces, the baby has Down syndrome. Other versions use specific “primers” to amplify only the chromosomes in question.

    What It Looks For Down, Patau, and Edwards syndromes, sex-chromosome disorders like Turner and Klinefelter syndromes

    Risks None

    Error Rate False positives for Down syndrome: <1 percent; false negatives: <1 percent

  35. mondamay says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 1:53 pm

    i don’t say “ahh irony” when you make comments

    That’s because I don’t run my “tolerance” up the flagpole for all to see and (presumably) envy while supporting the “woman’s right” to destroy the unborn for being imperfect (or “just because”; abortion is the ultimate example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time).

  36. Libby says:

    Having been through the experience, there were some dark moments when they were running additional tests for things like DiGeorge syndrome, etc. The thing is, there is the potential for health complications throughout one’s life, not just during gestation. Why is it that one can opt for death when it’s detected during pregnancy but not later? I could deliver a healthy kid who is then in a car accident at age 10 and paralyzed, or develop some other permanent health condition. There are no guarantees in life.
    So we’ll no doubt get better tests – so what? If you’ve seen Gattaca you get an idea of how being able to detect one’s life expectancy might not be such a gift. As annoying as the claim of “slippery slope!” can be, the underlying premise of aborting defective children is that someone gets to decide how valuable another person’s life is based on imperfect health. And this lead to making those choices in other situations, such as euthanizing seniors, brain injured, etc.
    Maybe you don’t want to make that choice, Happyfeet, but we’ve seen in many countries that bureaucrats are more than happy to.

    …and another thing, you’re all “mr this and mr that” when it is one-on-one, but you throw out “lifeydoodle”, and other such dreck when you’re not directly engaging anyone, so don’t try to say the disrespect is all one-way.

  38. palaeomerus says:

    It’s very simple. They just let the air in Jig. You wouldn’t mind it. I know it.

  39. angstlee says:

    Davis is an effing idiot.

  40. LBascom says:

    Sign of the times.

    That there is even any room for debate on the issue I mean…

  41. happyfeet says:

    Mr. geoff this confirms about the false positive rate

    I wonder what the British people are doing testing at 18-20 weeks

    Are there special abnormalities that you have to wait til then to detect?

    Mr. mondamay lifeydoodle is an exceedingly respectful and meticulously precise term for Team Life people what are unable or unwilling to separate their religious views from their politics.

    And yeah I know there are nonreligious lifeydoodles but they’re statistically insignificant.

  42. happyfeet says:

    Libby the first thing to do is, we abort all the bureaucrats.

  43. bgbear says:

    Davis is an effing idiot

    I don’t see how murdering the unborn is a religious issue.

  45. Drumwaster says:

    I don’t see how murdering the unborn is a religious issue.

    Kind of like when Crowley managed to arrange the M25 around London into a sort of traffic-jammed prayer wheel, grinding out low-grade evil to permeate the countryside for miles around…

    These murder mills, being in large urban areas, have permeated the residents in its range with the religious beliefs of the baby-killers like griefyfeets, while it doesn’t tend to get out into “flyover country”.

    Like smog.

  46. happyfeet says:

    well excuse me for having an opinion

  47. bgbear says:

    try explaining yourself better feet. To most of us you aren’t making sense.

    If a “Christer” wanted a law making everyone stop and face Nazareth everyday at noon and pray to Jesus, I could see your point but, questioning the morality of abortion is really different.

    Belief in the sanctity of life also is involved in laws against suicide.

  48. happyfeet says:

    i’m too hungry to explain over and over

  49. cranky-d says:

    It’s because he says so. That’s why.

    He has never made a coherent argument that I can remember. He just asserts.

    do not

  51. LBascom says:

    “people what are unable or unwilling to separate their religious views from their politics. ”

    The right to life is in the Declaration of Independence, a political document.

    Your position is from the progg cult of death, a religious practice.

    Want a redo?

  52. happyfeet says:

    the Declaration of Independence is my favorite declaration ever

  53. sdferr says:

    What did its author say about that political document? We can look:

    Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, May 8, 1825

    *** Dear Sir, […]

    That George Mason was the author of the bill of rights, and the constitution founded on it, the evidence of the day established fully in my mind. Of the paper you mention, purporting to be instructions to the Virginia delegation in Congress, I have no recollection. If it were anything more than a project of some private hand, that is to say, had any such instructions been ever given by the convention, they would appear in the journals, which we possess entire. But with respect to our rights, and the acts of the British government contravening those rights, there was but one opinion on this side of the water. All American whigs thought alike on these subjects. When forced, therefore, to resort to arms for redress, an appeal to the tribunal of the world was deemed proper for our justification. This was the object of the Declaration of Independence. Not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take. Neither aiming at originality of principle or sentiment, nor yet copied from any particular and previous writing, it was intended to be an expression of the American mind, and to give to that expression the proper tone and spirit called for by the occasion. All its authority rests then on the harmonizing sentiments of the day, whether expressed in conversation, in letters, printed essays, or in the elementary books of public right, as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney, &c. The historical documents which you mention as in your possession, ought all to be found, and I am persuaded you will find, to be corroborative of the facts and principles advanced in that Declaration.

    Be pleased to accept assurances of my great esteem and respect.

    Thomas Jefferson ***

  54. Slartibartfast says:

    the Declaration of Independence is my favorite declaration ever

    is not

  55. newrouter says:

    test

  56. happyfeet says:

    the tone and spirit of the declaration are a lot the same as the tone and spirit in which Team R people used to talk about what they called “limited government”

    it was a popular principle at one time

  57. palaeomerus says:

    “happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 4:07 pm
    well excuse me for having an opinion”

    You mean like you excused Akin and retard baby spewing old lifeydoodle Sarah Palin?

  58. happyfeet says:

    no not like that

  59. LBascom says:

    The newly discovered “right” of a woman to abort her baby, along with the newly discovered “right” for two men to marry each other, are greater matters of faith than the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, born of Joseph and Mary of the house of David in Bethlehem.

    These newly discovered “rights” are merely sacraments of the newly strengthened and politicized religious cult of progressivism, formally known through history by diverse names, mostly derived and descended from the serpent (who, as we all know, was cute as a cartoon penguin) that tempted Eve in the garden.

  60. happyfeet says:

    if people want to marry this or abort that it’s none of my business and I’m not going to agitate for a more robust government to interfere with these activities what my fellow citizens have chosen for themselves

    that is not a matter of faith in the least

  61. LBascom says:

    “Team R people used to talk about what they called “limited government” it was a popular principle at one time”

    Limited to:

    We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America

    Notice the word “Posterity”? Know what it means?

  62. Drumwaster says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 6:04 pm

    if people want to marry this or abort that it’s none of my business

    Someone please haul this out every time feets expresses an opinion on either of these topics in the future. Because I don’t think he actually means “I am not entitled to an opinion”, but rather “I can’t actually defend my position using logic or facts, and too many people are noticing”.

  63. LBascom says:

    So if someone wants to perform a late term abortion and dismember and flush happyfeet, not my business, and the government shouldn’t bother themselves worrying about it?

  64. Drumwaster says:

    Notice the word “Posterity”? Know what it means?

    It’s what abortion was meant to put a stop to…

  65. happyfeet says:

    posterity are kids what you have and what comprise future generations

    aborted kids don’t count as posterity cause they dead

  66. LBascom says:

    “aborted kids don’t count as posterity cause they dead”

    Yeah, ‘cuz the feds were acting beyond their limited government role by worrying about whether Bill and Ted could get married instead of their legitimate limited role of protecting the liberty of our posterity.

    You are on the wrong side od governments constitutional role in both instances. But at least your fellow progg friends don’t call you a bitter clinger, so you have that going for you.

  67. newrouter says:

    “aborted kids don’t count as posterity cause they dead”

    sounds like murder no?

  68. mondamay says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 3:12 pm – lifeydoodle is an exceedingly respectful and meticulously precise term for Team Life people what are unable or unwilling to separate their religious views from their politics.

    … and then what? Maybe we can separate fidelity from our marriages? Separate integrity from our relationships? Separate industry from our jobs? Since you seem to have a difficult time distinguishing “morality” from “religious views”, maybe we can try the somewhat less loaded term “ethics”.

    The reason I oppose abortion isn’t because of a Bible verse, or something someone told me from a pulpit. It is quite simply that human life (and the value thereof) is not determined by the location it may occupy, which is the entire ultimate justification for abortion.

    As for your idea of “limited government”, it might ring a bit truer if you weren’t such a big cheerleader for judicial tyranny as long as it advances the cause of an ever descending humanity that gets to rut with no consequence, while our betters take care of us all.

  69. Pellegri says:

    And yeah I know there are nonreligious lifeydoodles but they’re statistically insignificant.

    Go talk to Secular Pro-Life about that. I am sure they will give you an earful that is substantially better-written than anything you’ve managed in your life.

    On the original topic of the post, there is not enough vomit in my body to express my rage and disgust at this mentality.

  70. Drumwaster says:

    are unable or unwilling to separate their religious views from their politics

    You mean like “Thou Shalt Not Murder” and those other religious-y views you hold in such contempt? (And, by extension, should never have been written into law by politicians)

  71. Pellegri says:

    (For the interested parties: Secular Pro-Life. They have very rigorous argumentation and I enjoy reading them.)

  72. happyfeet says:

    i’m not a cheerleader for judicial tyranny DOMA was unconstitutional on the face of it

    that’s about the only case like that where I took much of a position

    with the pervert Roberts court it’s all whimsical anyway it’s not like there’s any kind of pattern

  73. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Judicial tyranny is what the Roberts Kennedy Court did in striking down DOMA -which had more bipartisan support than Obamacare.

  74. mondamay says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 6:54 pm

    DOMA was unconstitutional on the face of it

    Not according to 4 of the 9 philosopher-kings, care to tell us what you know that they don’t?

  75. happyfeet says:

    i know that if you sprinkle hot curry powder on pickles and eat em you are Way Ahead Of The Game

    but also I know DOMA was a usurpation of the rights of states to define marriage in accordance with the will of their citizens

    this is why we have no more DOMA at all but we still have lots of pickles

  76. mondamay says:

    but also I know DOMA was a usurpation of the rights of states to define marriage in accordance with the will of their citizens

    As opposed to a federal judge vacating a State’s constitutional amendment, which started this mess.

  77. happyfeet says:

    wha??

    Mr. mondamy the DOMA case was about the married lesbian what got mugged by the piggy piggy IRS to where she had to pay all her inheritance to our greedy fascist pigthug government

  78. pdbuttons says:

    married lesbians must have a certain hi speed lane to the bank ,because that’s where she took my friend who was married to her.He is very sad now and drinks alone alot.
    His sighs and groans are audible ,and when he shows up at get togethers or bar-b-ques-people tend to avoid him.

  79. happyfeet says:

    marry a hasty lesbian repent at a bbq with a fifth of jack is what they say, but I thought it was just an aphorism

  80. Drumwaster says:

    Since when has feets suddenly been in favor of the State of California defining marriage as one man, one woman? (And the Federal Government, having its own sets of punishments and incentives to offer, can control which groups get which in any fashion that pleases them. Such as tax benefits to those tax payers more likely to produce more taxpayers down the road.)

    If the granting of benefits is dependent on a legal status, it is the prerogative of the agency granting those benefits to define that status and determine whether the applicants meet the standards, and they can define it however they wish.

  81. mondamay says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 7:13 pm

    wha??

    Your selective outrage once again at “usurpation or the rights of states” against evil federal overreach which ends as soon as the federal judge does something you like.

    Yes DOMA and the California case were different, but one can’t claim “states rights” in one and ignore the federal overreach in the second.

  82. happyfeet says:

    i just cared about the DOMA case I’m not particularly invested in how the state of california defines marriage – they were destined to vote for gay marriage in the very near term anyways

    it’s not a notably socially conservative state

    no really

  83. mondamay says:

    lesbian what got mugged by the piggy piggy IRS

    What about siblings? Shouldn’t they be allowed tax advantages, too? Sheesh!

  84. Drumwaster says:

    Even if I accept your assertion as having any validity whatsoever, shouldn’t the law as voted be enforced until such time as your flights of fancy actually get onto the taxiway, rather than having some pre-selected (not elected) jackanape in a black robe overturn the whole thing?

  85. happyfeet says:

    siblings can’t get married to each other cause of that would be incense

  86. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Besides, I can’t see how DOMA usurped any state’s rights when the plaintiff in that case was suing as an employee of the Federal Government.

  87. LBascom says:

    “they were destined to vote for gay marriage in the very near term anyways”

    What were you going for, best 3 out of 5?

  88. sdferr says:

    For the gazillionth time like it’ll do any good, States have powers, people as individuals have rights. It doesn’t do to do the work of the opponents for them.

  89. happyfeet says:

    i have no idea what you’re on about Mr. Drumwaster I just think the federal government needs to fuck off

    starting….. NOW!

  90. happyfeet says:

    but also I know DOMA was a usurpation of the powers of states to define marriage in accordance with the will of their citizens

  91. mondamay says:

    i just cared about the DOMA case

    Hence the term “selective outrage”. You all about states defining marriage for themselves, until they actually do, and you don’t happen to agree with it.

    That means stop pretending to argue from principle, and admit this is all about your feelings , so we can move on.

  92. Drumwaster says:

    Why do you think DOMA had anything to do with States’ Rights? Or am I using the wrong verb?

  93. Ernst Schreiber says:

    siblings men/women can’t get married to each other men/women cause of that would be incense sodomy.

    The logic is largely the same in both cases. Same with bestialism.

  94. happyfeet says:

    sodomy fuck yeah

  95. mondamay says:

    Who needs marriage? ‘feet was arguing tax advantage. Because the 14th amendment or something…

  96. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I know DOMA was a usurpation of the powers of states to define marriage in accordance with the will of their citizens

    Which is why the Boston Supreme Court was hung to a man after a summary public court martial on the Boston Commons, Abrams tanks surrounding, to keep the homos at bay.

  97. Pablo says:

    but also I know DOMA was a usurpation of the powers of states to define marriage in accordance with the will of their citizens

    Totally. Except that it doesn’t do that at all.

  98. mondamay says:

    Ernst Schreiber says August 6, 2013 at 7:41 pm –

    Should have said “hanged”, now ‘feet will be on about “hung” men…

  99. Ernst Schreiber says:

    The hell you say.

  100. happyfeet says:

    Mr. Pablo the pervert Roberts court agrees with me not you so hah

  101. Ernst Schreiber says:

    They hung there after they were hanged, didn’t they? [grin]

    (thanks for the correction)

  102. LBascom says:

    “Totally. Except that it doesn’t do that at all”

    Wait, you mean if prop * failed, DOMA would have prevented homos from marrying anyway?

    Man, was that ever a waste of time, effort and money…

  103. happyfeet says:

    Blue Moon makes a peabnut bubber ale

  104. Pablo says:

    if people want to marry this or abort that it’s none of my business and I’m not going to agitate for a more robust government to interfere with these activities what my fellow citizens have chosen for themselves

    that is not a matter of faith in the least

    And if people want to whack an electric hamster, who are we to stick our noses in it?

  105. LBascom says:

    prop 8, sorry, itchy shift thumb…

  106. mondamay says:

    (thanks for the correction)

    I have no problem with your usage, but trying to head off another brilliant response like:

    sodomy fuck yeah

  107. Pablo says:

    Mr. Pablo the pervert Roberts court agrees with me not you so hah

    with the pervert Roberts court it’s all whimsical anyway it’s not like there’s any kind of pattern

    Do you have a point that doesn’t rest atop your head?

  108. happyfeet says:

    yes my point is you should stop worrying so much about what other people do

  109. Ernst Schreiber says:

    They agree with you that gay marriage is the bees knees, not that DOMA burdened the States.

    I think. I’m not particularly inclined to go wading through Kennedy’s opinion to find out, though.

  110. happyfeet says:

    just let it go

    it’s not worth all the drama

    you can bet your ass kenny chesney isn’t sitting around worrying about abortions and gay marriage

  111. mondamay says:

    Man, was that ever a waste of time, effort and money…

    Yes, both for your point, as it eventually turned out…Thanks SCOTUS!

  112. happyfeet says:

    you may be right Mr. Ernst

    the Supreme Court tends to just make shit up

  113. Pablo says:

    Blue Moon makes a peabnut bubber ale

    You mean the MillerCoors division of the Molson Coors Brewing Company. Those fuckers are hella quaint.

  114. Pablo says:

    So, the electric hamster whackings are a go!

  115. happyfeet says:

    Blue Moon is autonomous and the same guy is still running things I think what was running them before MC acquired them and plus they’re sponsoring a big craft beer thing in Colorado coming up and plus they make a peabnut bubber ale

  116. cranky-d says:

    As always it’s incredibly enlightening when the yellow peril comments.

  117. mondamay says:

    happyfeet says August 6, 2013 at 7:49 pm

    yes my point is you should stop worrying so much about what other people do

    Like voting for Obama, and convincing young mushbrain conservatives to embrace infanticide and hedonism? Check.

  118. Ernst Schreiber says:

    So, the electric hamster whackings are a go!

    Well if we’re going to just let it go and quit worrying about what other people do….

  119. happyfeet says:

    here is an article about Blue Moon

    wait my friend M says that Blue moon was created in house at Coors it wasn’t an acquisition

  120. Pablo says:

    Blue Moon is autonomous

    Right, that’s how a plucky little craft brew makes it into every bar, liquor store and grocery in the country, right alongside the Silver Bullets.

  121. Pablo says:

    MillerCoors has a message for beer snobs: Blue Moon is an authentic craft brew. So show a little respect.

    o_O

  122. Pablo says:

    Blue Moon’s decision to confront its critics is a tactical necessity. The brand is the centerpiece of MillerCoors’ Tenth & Blake Beer Co., created to capitalize on the rapid growth of craft and import brews and offset slowing sales of light beers.

    Pluckier than the love child of Charlie Fucking Daniels and Earl Scruggs it is.

  123. newrouter says:

    when’s the next blue moon?

  124. mondamay says:

    peabnut bubber ale

    Beer for people who don’t actually like the taste of beer? I thought that was what vodka, fruit puree, crushed ice and a little umbrella was for.

  125. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I like rum with my fruit puree & crushed ice, thank you very much.

  126. Darleen says:

    One cup rum, one cup pineapple juice, generous coconut cream, balance of ice cubes into blender

    umbrella optional …

  127. happyfeet says:

    you can do a can of pineapple too if you don’t have juice handy it blends right up

  128. mondamay says:

    umbrella optional …

    Won’t you need that for “gettin’ caught in the rain” after having your piña colada?

  129. newrouter says:

    pikachu what is good meal to have after vacuuming a wyman’s uterus?

  130. happyfeet says:

    you need something healthy but convenient

    there’s somewheres where you can get a tasty kale strawberry salad

    i think it might could be whole foods

    that’s what I would do

    you might add some extra fruit if you have some handy and take it into a poppy seed dressing place

    song song o the south sweet potato pie and i shut my mouth

    poppy seed dressing always makes me think of that singings

  131. When does human life begin, feets?

  132. happyfeet says:

    human life begins when people say hey human life c’mere you cute lil baby wazzle i love you more than beans!

    it begins with love you see Mr. W

    that’s the secret ingredient

    if you don’t have love you’re just going through the motions

  133. happyfeet says:

    faith hope and love

    place your bets errybody!

  134. So, let’s assume that someone is loved by nobody. Using your logic, that person is not a person at all, and legal to kill.

    And this from the person who claims that the Declaration of Independence is his ” favorite declaration ever.”

  135. happyfeet says:

    it has nothing to do with logic that’s just my feeling about when human life begins

  136. mondamay says:

    it has nothing to do with logic that’s just my feeling

    And there’s the admission I’ve been waiting for.

    Now I’m off to listen to Tarkus.

    Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
    Have the days made you so unwise?
    Realize, you are.

  137. And we know how good law based on feeling is.

  138. Herewith, a key phrase of the Declaration of Independence, rewritten by feets:

    “We hold these feelings, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain Rights as long as we feel like it, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

  139. happyfeet says:

    i ‘d put the tarkus in my cloud but I’m not allowed to buy musics this month and what’s a pikachu without fiscal discipline I ask you

    come september Mr. Justin Moore’s new set drops I think the first song is ok but maybe a lil overproduced but still that’ll be the next musics i get

  140. Shorter feets: “Squirrel!!!”

  141. “So in our timidity, let each of us make a choice: Whether consciously, to remain a servant of falsehood—of course, it is not out of inclination, but to feed one’s family, that one raises his children in the spirit of lies—or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man worthy of respect both by one’s children and contemporaries.” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn, “Live Not By Lies”

  142. newrouter says:

    when confronting “carlos danger” always deploy wienerschnitzel. for the dead babies!!

  143. newrouter says:

    ” The fact that the establishment gave the task of defending its positions to the usual political and journalistic hacks was probably a case of Hobson’s choice in an emergency, but it gained it nothing and was just one further error, since those gentle- men’s standards are notorious. As could be expected, they immedi- ately brought into play against the Charter a whole set of slanders, distortions, abuse, half-truths and absolute falsehoods which all represent the dismal range of their capacity. Ispeak from experience as one who has been a favourite target for their sort of behaviour for the past thirty years, and who could well lay claim to the laurels of seniority and worthy service. Though the powers that be may not know it, or rather, would sooner not know it, nay, cannot afford to know it (for where else would they find more obedient, unscrupu- lous and servile creatures), the media are the principal, albeit unintentional, creators and encouragers of opposition, since they are totaJIy suspect and nobody believes them. ”

  144. happyfeet says:

    squirrels hate me every time i go to pet one they run to the other side of the tree

    and they’re not even subtle about it

    a pikachu musta bonked a squirrel on the head back in the day is all i can figure

  145. Darleen says:

    it has nothing to do with logic that’s just my feeling

    That is not only your problem, but the problem with most proggies. You use your gonads instead of the brain God gave you to struggle with your amoral feelings/nature.

  146. newrouter says:

    “a pikachu musta bonked a squirrel on the head”

    oh call the animal rights activists in socal asap. you allan danmed abuser of the animals.

  147. Ernst Schreiber says:

    tangentally related: this is flat out funny.

  148. Darleen says:

    Ernst

    Mandy has been even more shrill and incoherent than usual … fun to see her mocked so.

  149. Slartibartfast says:

    Because I don’t think he actually means “I am not entitled to an opinion”

    Obviously not, because he keeps expressing his opinion. Which, paradoxically, is that he has no business having an opinion.

    I wish he’d close the logical loop on this one.

  150. serr8d says:

    Twitter had a blast! yesterday when @ewerickson tweeted Wendy Davis was “Abortion Barbie”. Trended, that did, for hours.

    Prosa pulchra!

  151. Slart, he and logic aren’t exactly on speaking terms. I hear tell that the break-up was not at all amicable.

  152. Ernst Schreiber says:

    There was a time when it was understood that everyone is entitled to their own opinion was a gentle rebuke of said opinion.

  153. Slartibartfast says:

    The “Abortion Barbie” thing is leaving me wondering WTF.

    Not funny, to me. YMMV.

  154. Mueller says:

    earnest. Any time you can poke fun of Amanda is a good time. Who, by the way, has a dildo roughly the size of a Smart Car that has an engine from a CAT D9.

    I like Leinenkugals Summer Shandy. Refreshing after doing the lawn.

  155. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I like Leinenkugals Summer Shandy. Refreshing after doing the lawn.

    You and me both.

    Which reminds me, I need to hit the convenience store before Saturday morning.
