Hey, Sheriff Joe can’t be a Nazi because he doesn’t speak German!

Welcome to PreCrime where innocent citizens are arrested BEFORE they exercise their Constitutional Freedoms.

The last thing our once-great nation stands for is right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The last thing America stands for is freedom, justice and liberty.

“Do writers for children and young adult literature have a responsibility to be more explicit when introducing non-white characters in their books?”

I would say that writers need to have more non-white characters as a rule. Change the expectation by keeping the readers on their toes.

Author Suzanne Collins did her due dilligence, it’s clear as plain as day: “She has dark brown skin and eyes”, and “Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue”.

I have seen authors from time to time remind us of skin color when it worked for the story, but that definitely assumes the racist assumption you mentioned.

I agree with Deborah Pope, the executive director of the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation, when she said, “I think some of these young people just didn’t really read the book.”

I thought this twet was interesting, “why did the producer make all the good characters black?” I haven’t read the book or seen the picture, but I am intrigued that in that writer’s opinion the ‘good characters’ were the non-whites.

But how can Obama lose 2012 to Romney if he doesn’t completely alienate his base?

Obama has to lose, he’s been ordered to lose by the Democratic Leadership who are all moderate Republicans.

Democratic politicians only exist to temporarily stand in for their Republican slave-masters when the electorate gets fedup with the GOP. The Dems get elected at that point and when they are in the majority they only ever do what their GOP masters allow them to, in order to piss off the base and make it so the GOP wins the next election cycle.

“it’s repelled its own members”

They’ve been dropping them by the wayside since they decided to go insane in 1980. Witness James Jeffords of Vermont (Thanks, Jim!) who publicly switched his affiliation from R to I stating that they had gone off the deep end and the GOP left him.

So that’s my question to Rep Hanna, why aren’t you switching? (I hope it has something to do with ‘working on the inside’ and holding senior positions, but I don’t know).

MegaUploads was attacked by the Fed because there were a handful of files stored on servers inside the USA. SOPA/PIPA expands existing law to go after people who do not have files in the USA.

Also MegaUploads too a year and a half of investigation before arrests were made. SOPA/PIPA gives the MPAA/RIAA and all other copyright trolls instant ability to permanently shut down every website on the planet without hearing or recourse. Just file a fraudulent copyright claim and your enemy’s website goes bye-bye forever!

““The active ingredient in magic mushrooms may help people with depression by enabling them to relive positive and happy moments of their lives, according to UK researchers.” My old friend Gulliver, the Mushroom King, could have told them that.”

No wonder psilocybin is illegal! We can’t have people NOT being depressed without handing huge piles of cash to the drug companies!

“but Congress’s job is to do what the people want”

The Democrats are the ones trying to do what the People want. It’s the Republicans that are trying every trick they can think of to screw the People and those that represent the People and not unaccountable multinational corporations whose goal is enslavement of everyone that actually works for a living.

Republican politicians don’t give a crap what We, The People want, only to punish anyone that isn’t a multi-millionaire.

My friend’s first attempt at pregnancy resulted in a fetus with trisomy 18 (3 copies of the 18th chromosome).

This fetus would never be viable and live for maybe 30 minutes after birth, if it wasn’t stillborn to begin with. She went to the hospital and induced an abortion, as well she should.

How is it possibly Christian to force this woman and her fetus to go to full term just to endure such horror? How is torture compatible with Christ? This is an example of why I can never be a Christian: my morals do not allow for inflicting pointless emotional torture on people.

Are you kidding? Allowing guns in parks has completely eliminated all gun violence in parks! THe NRA said that’s what would happen and they pay big money to never be wrong.

Poisoned drinking water and never-ending, low-level earthquakes are a small price to pay for an CEO’s increased salary!

Don’t worry everyone.

Once the bench-warmer, and moderate Republican, President Obama is voted out of office by Diebold this fall, the far-right Republican president will use the new National Defense Authorization Act to declare everyone that exercises the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to be a Terrorist. That woman who was trying to ‘meet her boyfriend’ (which is terrorist-speak for overthrow the Republican Government) will be shipped off to Guantanamo to join her Al Qaeda comrades for the rest of her life.

Next, the Republican President will decree that all Republicans are ordered to exercise the 2nd Amendment against anyone that they think, believe or feel might want to some day exercise their 1st Amendment rights.

Only then will we be Free®™!

Remember, our brave soldiers gave their lives to uphold the sacred, God-given right of the right-wingers to kill Liberals for fun!

Fresh water for millions of American citizens is nothing compared to a handful of corporate executives making huge profits from natural gas.

A handful of insanely rich people need to suck even more money from the pockets of America’s poor, drinking water for American citizens is a small price to pay for transferring wealth from the poor to the rich.

Class war is the rich stealing from the poor, NOT when the poor try to fight back.

“Dennis Blair doesn’t work in the Administration anymore. He was fired.”

Of course he was. The Republicans that control the White House and Obama can’t allow anyone to tell the truth or actually get anything done. That would hurt the GOP’s chances to take over in 2012.

“we could accomplish more by changing our tax codes to encourage domestic investments”

No, the Republicans only allowed tax breaks for moving manufacturing investment TO China. You’d have to have a far-left Liberal in the White House in order to reverse that. And having a real, actual Liberal President will never, ever happen. The closest we could ever get are the moderate Republicans like Clinton and Obama.

Wal•Mart has ordered president Obama to leave China alone. If the Treasury Department were allowed to tell the truth about Chia’s currency manipulation, then every WalMart in America would be empty and the Pentagon wouldn’t have it’s shiny new weapons (since many components for US military hardware are now made in China, thanks to the Republicans).

“I only wish that economists would do the same.”

Why would they do that? One thing the Republicans know is that the Republican voter willfully ignores truth and reality, and will readily believe the most ridiculous hogwash that NewMax can make up.

The Republican voter believes NewsMax and Rush Limbaugh, and for a dose of far-left extremism, they watch a little Fox ‘News’.

Therefore it makes no difference what documented reality proves. if Rush Limbaugh didn’t say it, then it’s just far-left propaganda.
