The "Stay Classy, Republicans" Super Nintendo Chalmers Thread

[quote name='perdition(troy']You're a fucking moron.

Is it that hard for you to understand that we shouldn't be fucking around in Libya, and that someone should say something regardless of party affiliation?





edited because I put should instead of shouldn't.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I should just ignore 8 years of silence. Sorry dude, but whether we should be there or not is another discussion, I'm discussing that douchebag's lack of consistency. So if you care nothing about your leader's records, fine, but then you're the fucking moron.

fuck I said I wouldn't get into these dumbass arguments anymore, sigh.
 
[quote name='UncleBob']Didn't Bush have congressional approval?

Not saying that excused it... but isn't that the main argument Boehner is making?[/QUOTE]
Well the article mentions that only congress can declare war, and must within 60 days per the war powers resolution. Now Bush received approval for the use of force in Iraq so far as i know, but war was never declared. So I'm unsure of why it's expected that i be declared in this situation.


Also,
Freshman Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., revived candidate Obama's words from December 2007 when he said the president does not have the constitutional power to unilaterally authorize a military attack unless there is an imminent threat to the nation.
"The current president got it right in 2007," Scott said.

never stopped Dubya. Of course he thought Iraq was an imminent threat, so I'm sure in his mind he was justified. Of course Rep. Scott has the advantage of not being in office during the Bush administration, so it's a little hard to demand to see comments made by him during that time. I hope he felt the same way in 2003 though, unless he also drank the imminent threat kool-aid as well.
 
why are you so fucking blind that you can't see past party lines and stand for something regardless of who is in power and who isn't. i don't give a fuck if bush nailed his grandma, it doesn't mean when obama does it we ignore that too. be more then just another (D) or (R).
 
Neil Boortz is one of the most pathetic con bootlickers out there.

I have no idea how anyone can listen to anything he says.

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/fox-guest-neal-boortz-re-electing-obama-stra

"The President of the United States is winning his war against the private sector," the network quoted Limbaugh as saying. "He is destroying it. That is his mission."

"I'm glad the godfather has been reading my program notes," conservative radio host Neal Boortz told Fox News host Alisyn Camerota. "I've been saying that for quite a while. It is Barack Obama's intention."

"If people vote for Barack Obama next year, it's like strapping on an economic suicide vest and giving the detonator to your ex-wife," he declared.

There are more liberals pissed at Obama than there were conservatives pissed at Bush.

I mean WTF. FREEDOM FRIES. Seriously? If Obama pulled that kinda shit, you dumb fucks on the right would be calling him a dumb n*****r that's too dumb to get anything done. Not that you chuckleheads don't do that now.
 
Jesus Holy Christ on a pogo stick, I really hope she doesn't get elected.

You know, if the election came down to Obama vs. Palin and I thought there was even a chance my vote could make a difference, I have to say I'd probably vote Obama. Or not vote. Or vote Palin and move to Canada.
 
What's even scarier is that there are thousands of people out there who would defend that. I don't know what she spent her youth doing, but whatever it was I hope it was worth it, because she turned out to be one dumb fucking adult.

My favorite parts are:

On Tuesday, the GOP majority on the House Appropriations Committee approved a 2012 spending plan that directs the Agriculture Department to ditch the first new nutritional standards in 15 years proposed for school breakfasts and lunches. The lawmakers say meals containing more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy will cost an additional $7 billion over five years — money they say the country can ill afford in difficult economic times.

Apparently, it's expensive to feed kids so we should feed them crap.
It's not like there's "hard science" that says that nutrition is one of the most important factors in brain development.:rofl:

The FDA is starting to use soft sciences in some considerations in the promulgation of its rules,” said Rehberg, who defined “hard science”, as “perceived as being more scientific, rigorous and accurate” than behavioral and social sciences.

I hate to try and define the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist, between a sociologist and a geologist, but there is clearly a difference,” he told the committee.

I'd love to see him try.
 
The state director of the conservative group Americans for Prosperity offered no apologies today for papering homes in Detroit’s Delray district Monday with fake eviction notices.

Bearing the words “Eviction Notice” in large type, the bogus notices told homeowners their properties could be taken by the Michigan Department of Transportation to make way for the New International Trade Crossing bridge project. The NITC is the subject of debate in Lansing, and Americans for Prosperity is lobbying heavily against it.

[quote name='nasum']A chicken in every pot and a unicorn in every garage[/QUOTE]

not sure if this is originally from you, but i'm totally using this every opportunity I get.
 
But they didn't get evicted, they just got false notices as a political stunt, or did I completey misunderstand something since it seemed like AFP didn't have the authority.

Also, AFP makes me think of Amanda fucking Palmer and she's awesome.

Unicorn away my good man. It's a great way to explain the crackpot theory that the defecit and any other economic woe will disappear overnight by reducing taxes both corporate and personal. Of course when you actually ask one of these idiots to explain that, you get a better answer out of Shaggy 2 Dope RE: magnets.

Now that I think on it more, should it be a chicken in a few pots but a unicorn in every garage? Thoughts?

What percentage of our population do you think believes (believes, how about "knows for a certain fact") that it was Paul Revere who made the ride/announcement and not Samuel Prescott who made the announcement/ride while PR was actually captured by The Regulars and not the Red Coats?
 
sadly a very low one. We'd rather rewrite our history through the babbling nonsense of a celebrity than actually learn the real version in the 1st place.

Man could this have been more perfect timing. New article up at nytimes

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/education/15history.html?_r=1&hp

"American students are less proficient in their nation’s history than in any other subject, according to results of a nationwide test released on Tuesday, with most fourth graders unable to say why Abraham Lincoln was an important figure and few high school seniors able to identify China as the North Korean ally that fought American troops during the Korean War. Over all, 20 percent of fourth graders, 17 percent of eighth graders and 12 percent of high school seniors demonstrated proficiency on the exam, the National Assessment of Educational Progress."
 
Well what do you expect when the schools are handing out condoms?
By the time I got through high school it was no longer even about getting an education. Our public schools are now setup as social experiments to make sure that (as adults) the kids will not be leaders but great employees who supplicate to the will of authority.

That's a failing of our educational system, it's no different than teaching kids that Columbus discovered America. She can't even get the non-history that we're taught right.

Bingo. High school is great place to learn how to be middle management.

A Fox Business host is apologizing for what detractors have called racist insults directed at President Barack Obama.
In a brief mea culpa, conservative host Eric Bolling said on his Monday broadcast that he "got a little fast and loose with the language." He says he's sorry his remarks were interpreted as disrespectful.
On Friday, Bolling criticized Obama's recent meeting with Ali Bongo, president of the African nation of Gabon, who is viewed by some as a corrupt leader.
Bolling went on to say it's not the first time Obama has had "a hoodlum in the hizzouse."
The rapper Common recently appeared at a White House poetry event despite complaints that some of his poems promote violence.
Bolling said, "What's with all the hoods in the hizzy?"

Lets throw another one on for good measure.

http://beta.news.yahoo.com/blogs/ti...ive-ca36-ad-featuring-stripper-134318388.html

The web commercial, which claims to be paid for by a new group called "Turn Right USA", accuses Hahn of giving gang members money so they can "rape and kill again." The ad features a faceless blonde, white woman (Hahn is blonde and white) grinding on a stripper poll and getting bills stuffed into her shorts, as two black men portraying gangsters sing: "Give me your cash, b*tch, so we can shoot up the street. Give me your cash, b*tch, so we can buy some more heat."

makes you wonder if it's people affiliated with the group that portrayed the OG's or if they really got some real G's to come in for the part...

Either way it's comical.
 
[quote name='Clak']I was wondering that myself, who the hell would play such parts.[/QUOTE]

There are black people in the tea party despite the fact its against their own interests. Uncle Toms and those just to ignorant to recognize that those they support support their demise are nothing new.
 
Well considering that statistically African Americans make up a larger percent of both poor middle/working class folks and that Republicans are essentially cutting every last last social safety net we have that alone makes it in the African American communities interest not to support them.

But setting aside cutting medicare, wic, trickle up economics etc etc etc you can simply look at the tea party and see a constant undertone of racism. We have seen signs time and time again making fun of blacks or making racist comments about Obama. We have even seen leaders and representatives of the tea party make numerous racist comments or get busted for things like that email scandal a month or two back. This means even if your a rich black man who wants to support the tea party since they funnel money to you, its against your interests.

To quote an old classic - Not all Republicans are racist, but if you are a racist you are most likely a Republican.
 
[quote name='perdition(troy']Could you please explain what "their own interests" are?[/QUOTE]

Not helping rich white dudes or people that think they could someday become a rich white dude.

The term "Uncle Tom" is a big pet peeve of mine. The character 'Uncle Tom' in Uncle Toms Cabin was not a 'sellout'. He was just a peaceful man. It would be more correct to refer to him as a 'Christ-Figure' than a 'sellout'. "Sambo", OTOH, as a character, actually fits the 'sellout' label much more than 'Uncle Tom'.

But I'd venture that the vast majority of people who use the term have never read the book.

It's a pretty bad book. Highly unrecommended.

Iv never read it. I do have it downloaded on my Ipad since it went free though? Good book I am assuming?
 
when the term gets co-opted by the race at which it is directed, doesn't that essentialy make it mean the new thing?
I mean, the big scary word is just a mispronounciation of the word negro which means dark or black in spanish combined with a weird word for being stubborn.

I've read the book but I still understand that term's present meaning has nothing to do with the book's literal meaning.

Not worth your time.

Only worthwhile for historians who want to understand the pop culture and propaganda of the time. It's full of two dimensional characters and hokey cliffhangers.
