The correct response imo is to put up a bill board across the road that says "Minorities will outnumber white people in the US by 20*whatever*" with a ticking down clock and the tag line "Got enough lawn space for their future Presidents?"

Listening to Mark Levin right now, he's declared that the Republican Party is now at war with true conservatives. He spent about 5 minutes denouncing Paul Ryan as a big government RINO, then moved on to Chris Christie then to the party itself, mentioning Karl Rove as a big government activist.

It's going to be funny to see the same thing happen to Rand Paul, Louie Gomert, Steve King, etc in a few years time when they can't deliver on their extreme right stuff.

Isn't the right's quantum "We've always [supported, hated] war with Syria" stance the exact same thing that happened with Libya? Once Obama and Congress figure out if/what/how much we're bombing, they'll be back to agreeing that it was an awful decision.

Always. If they don't outright oppose it then he's not doing it in the correct way. And the correct way is never defined, ever, and if it is it's only with hindsight.

What I don't get about the "War on Christmas" is this.

Generally it always seems to happen because some Reddit Atheist stomping his feet about some stupid issue that only like 2 people in his entire community care about.

So, they get the christmas tree taken down,

But that's the thing, its not a Reddit Atheist cancelling something, it never is as it hasn't ever happened.
Take that example in the first post about this, some place in England is cancelling Christmas. THIS NEVER HAPPENED.
Every year they trot this one out, while the actual history of what happened is completely the opposite.
Its always a council/park/city/whatever who want to INCLUDE MORE into the festivities by allowing Muslim/Atheist/Hindu/whatever celebrations as well.
And the fundie fucks go nutjob STOPPING ARE RELIGION in response.

Last year it was a park that displayed various groups christmas dioramas, and one was an atheist one.
The atheists didn't demand the rest be taken down, they just wanted to be shown as well as the rest.
But the fundie fucks claimed they wanted it all taken down, threw a fit, and it was all over the War on Christmas freak outs.

One thing to watch for, Bill O'Reilly. Last year he did his usual segment on ARE CHRISTMAS, and not even a minute after he was pimping Happy Holiday xmas O'Reilly Factor mugs.
So looking forward to see the same this year.

I don't watch Fox too often, but I can remember a story they did a few years back that still sticks with me as an example of how insidious and toxic that whole channel is. It was just one of those dumb little human interest stories you see all the time about cops rescuing a bunch of ducklings from a storm drain. This case happened to be somewhere over in England, and the coverage was about what you'd expect, all smiles and :3:, until the very last sentence when the anchorwoman said, "Guess it's a good thing police over in England don't have anything better to do." :smug:

Seriously? They can't even let a silly little fluff piece go by without some snide remark about... I don't even know what. "LOL Europeans, amirite? With their socialism and their gun control and their ducks."

lol that is similar to what it was like a few years back but not upfront. Instead it was insidious and implied.
They had a segment called 'Around the World in 80 seconds', probably still do, and which was supposed to highlight news stories from outside the US.
You would think in 80 seconds you could give some really loving important news about other countries. Voting in an African country maybe, new breakthrough in science somewhere that may be good for us all, some economic news that was relevant. That kind of news.
But no, this is Fox.
Guaranteed most of the time it was natural disasters from somewhere, some internal strife by some country either politically or culturely or whatever, and a tribal festival tradition from some where.
So first they scare you about over seas, show how over seas are idiots/dumb/whatever bad, and then to end it 'look at these people and their weird rear end ways'.

Youtube searched, and this is a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en9kfljYOpQ

Appeals to Authority are an odd thing that the GOP does. My college's campus Republicans invited a few speakers to come out and talk about how bad abortion is and how it does irreversible damage to the mother and causes AIDS and so forth. The speakers were all PhDs but if you dug a little deeper not one of them had a proper doctorate. Every single one held "multiple honorary doctorates" from theological organizations, generally parochial colleges, and always in things absolutely unrelated to anything they were talking about.

This is the par for Creationists too, I would guess it came from this area of the relgious right as it has been going on for so long.
A high percentage of them declare they have a PHD or are a doctor/scientist on something, and it turns out either to be from Liberty University or on a subject that is so far related like you said.
One of the best fake pieces of poo poo is Ian Juby. He claims to have a PHd, and an IQ of 160. Then 2 mins later he is showing PROOF that dinosaurs laid eggs in a line because the flood was chasing after them. And all it is some fossilized eggs laid out in a row with inches between then.

Are they better off with their young women aborting their children? Are they better off with the young men in prison? Are they better off with the older people on their sidewalks in front of their government-issued homes with a few children? Are they better off, are they happier than they was in the South in front of their homes with their chickens and their gardens and their children around them, and their man having something to do?

It doesn't really matter that Bundy is a racist poo poo, they didn't want to make him a politician. He gave them a story to show the government doing [anything at all] as an example of overreach, and let them segue into a Harry Reid Is Corrupt derail along the way. The story already happened, they don't need him anymore. His racist babblings will just be used when he's inevitably arrested as "See Obama just locks up people for saying racist things, yea he didn't pay taxes but neither did Al Sharpton and he isn't being arrested, I wonder why?".

He was a potential Joe the Plumber V2.0. A better potential.
An average man, average job that is so American there are few more American than it, and he was going to be a MAJOR poster boy for everything anti-government for the next 2 years.
I joked he was going to be a next year CPAC speaker, that would be probably true if he didn't say this poo poo. Tell me you can't see a standing ovation for this shitheel at a convention somewhere as he takes the podium at some sort of Republican meeting.

The GOP are not lamenting how he is saying this crap now, they are lamenting that they can't use him to score political points any more. And the pay off for hyping him for 2 weeks now is clouding the GUBMENT STEALING AMERICAN FREEDOM message they want to get out.
