I Hope I Die Before I Ever Hear This Quote From a Pundit

I worry that, 10 or 20 years in the future, some political hack says, “I honestly think that Donald Trump and Ted Cruz would just be too liberal for today’s GOP.”

Looking for Decent People with Democratic Senators (Help, Please)

by WillSmirk4Food, posted in Foreign Policy, help!, Politics, Religion

Daily Kos wants you to sign a petition to your Democratic Senator(s), asking them to vote against the bill that would block refugees of ISIS fighting from resettling in the U S.

I live in Nebraska, so I have no Senators who will listen. But you can find the petition here.

Five Names for the Oregon Standoff. Number Two Will Freak You Out!

Sorry. I’ve been dying to try a click-bait headline to see what would happen.

I know Twitter has named the Bundy Gang in Oregon such things as “Y’allQuaida” and “VanillaISIS,” But what should we call the actual occupation itself? Here are my suggestions:

  1. Occupy Bird Poop
  2. Hick Lives Matter
  3. Operation Defective Storm
  4. The Battle of the Bullshit
  5. Million Clown March

I’m going to be serious for a minute. These Yahoos of VanillaISIS say the constitution doesn’t allow for public lands? Yes, it does.

The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.

The Oregon Territory was obtained via treaty with England (we got the Pacific NW, England got British Columbia). It began as public land and those portions not sold or turned over to the state of Oregon remain public land.
