"Stupid wingnut says something stupid" thread

[Ben Shapiro]

Ok, not techically a "wingnut" -- technically, it's the fucking country.

New poll finds that 39 percent of Americans want government to 'stay out of Medicare.'

May I remind everyone that these people are eligible to vote?

Let them fucking die like the good anarchists they are.

Only 19% of people now identify as Republicans.  The same number of people also identify as atheist, agnostic or no religious affiliation, which is up on previous years.

Yet, oddly enough, roughly 30% of these "non-Republicans" consistently vote for the GOP.

Because the GOP is a bunch of Marx-loving leftists in disguise.

A THIRTY YEAR MYSTERY SOLVED

Round up of recent religious speakers and associated idiocy in schools. More links and stupid than you can shake a condom at.

When King asks if he knows the identity of the person whose heart keeps him alive, Cheney, who is promoting a book about his transplant experience, says no, and adds, "it hadn't been a priority for me." Then he goes on:

When I came out from under the anesthetic after the transplant, I was euphoric.  I'd had–I'd been given the gift of additional lives, additional years of life.  For the family of the donor, they'd just been [through] some terrible tragedy, they'd lost a family member.  Can't tell why, obviously, when you don't know the details, but the way I think of it from a psychological standpoint is that it's my new heart, not someone else's old heart. And I always thank the donor, generically thank donors for the gift that I've been given, but I don't spend time wondering who had it, what they'd done, what kind of person.

"It's my new heart, not someone else's old heart."

Yeah Salon, but the comments are widely reported.

It seems my assessment of Cheney as "Heartless monster" was actually wrong. He's probably got stacks of organs just waiting to be swapped in.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Yeah, saw that.  It's totally in character.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yeah, saw that.  It's totally in character.

He's the only real person in a world full of people who don't really matter.

BRB updating will to include "No Dick Cheneys" organ donor clause.

Regarding the transplant thing, I ended up having  a long, long argument with the wife over that. Thoughts and explination later.

Today:

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/22/washington-state-gop-chair-claims-war-on-women-responsible-for-pay-reduction/

Washington State Republican chairwoman Susan Hutchison claims that the $20,000 reduction of her salary from that of her male predecessor "play into the 'war on women' narrative [used] against Republicans."

According to a memo she sent to the state GOP executive board, when she tried to convince the state party to return her pay to the $95,000 earned by Kirby Wilbur, the conversation turned "ugly."

"There is no war on women," once source told the Times.

That source is probably correct. It's not really a war as much as a peacekeeping operation. "We've brought liberty and freedom but we can't let you have them because things are all kinds of crazy. Wait a while. We'll let you know."

Mr. Froth compares apartheid to the Affordable Care Act.

"[Mandela] was fighting against some great injustice, and I would make the argument that we have a great injustice going on right now in this country with an ever-increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling people's lives — and Obamacare is front and center in that," Santorum said.
