Democrats have realized their base doesn't vote for them, their base votes against republicans, and have adapted their campaign strategies accordingly: All across the country, Democrats have begun to drop out of races and republicans are pissed

An Angry Bug posted:Sorry friend, but if you don't agree that Both Sides Have Good Points then clearly you are just not listening to Very Serious People in Washington who are out to protect Small Business Owners from the stifling hand of Big Government and its over-regulation. Our nation's Job Creators need to be free to experiment with Disruptive new techniques that Big Pharma and the SJWs don't want you to know about. But they can't do that when Obamacare and the PC Police are forcing them to hire only Hyphenated Americans and to give those Welfare Queens these ridiculous and ungodly healthcare plans. Our Small Business Owners simply can't afford to pay for all these Late Term Abortion Pills, and even if they could afford it they shouldn't have to, because forcing them to pay for those Ungodly things goes against the beliefs of the company. Corporations are people after all, and America is a Christian Nation. Do you want to give all these Illegals even more reason to flood over the border and infect us all with their Ebola-soaked Muslim Prayer Rugs, or shoot the Real Patriots protecting the border with their Fast and Furious machine guns? If we don't Close The Border then we'll all suffer when ISIS comes up from Mexico and institutes Sharia Law and uses FEMA to force us all into Death Panels while they use vaccines to infect our children with Autism.

According to Anthony Culler, the Republican challenger to Jim Clyburn in South Carolina, you should not feed gay people after midnight.quote:"Same-sex couples that seek to destroy our way of life and the institution of marriage are NOT cute and cuddly but rather (for those of you that are old enough to remember the movie), Gremlins that will only destroy our way of life. These people are bullies and now that they are winning their true and hateful nature is much easier to see and hear. (Watch the response to this post.)" It is unclear if getting them wet will also cause problems.

Not to step on Joementum's quotes gig butquote:"I think a law clerk told me about this Tumblr," Ginsburg, who always seems to get a kick out of her Internet celebrity, explained. "And also explained to me what 'Notorious R.B.G.' was a parody on. And now, well my grandchildren love it and I try to keep abreast of the latest that's on the Tumblr."

gradenko_2000 posted:I was listening to a talk by Gen. John Allen and he mentioned that military planners were now coining the phrase "feral cities" to refer to heavily urbanized areas that had "fallen out of the writ of law and the government". A quick google just now tells me that this is a actually a thing, but I still found the use of word rather unsettling. I swear Feral Cities was the name of a Forth edition Shadowrun splatbook that I think included Lagos, Chicago and somewhere else. KomradeX fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 20, 2014 |

I've got so much less clutter in my email inbox now that I'm off the DNCC/DGA/(can't even remember what the gently caress else) mailing lists. Still on OFA, though. They've only sent me petitions for Obamacare and the EPA, at least on the first page.

Does our new Ebola Czar have any credentials for directing a campaign of viral containment or is this just another political favor from Obama? Because it seems like that latter.
