Twitter has decided that they are going to start cracking down on extremists’ Tweets. And Fox news is worried that the extremist Tweets their ilk produce will be some of the craziness that gets removed.
And in today’s latest news for throat-cramming enthusiasts…Justice Antonin Scalia says the Constitution favors the religious. Which is why the government doesn’t have to be “neutral” on the question of religion. And shouldn’t cram religious neutrality down our throats.
Also, God has blessed America because we praise Him and God is a sucker for flattery. Deep, Tony. Fuckin’ deep.
Scalia: ‘Don’t cram’ religious neutrality ‘down throats of American people’
Predictably, Obama’s failure to confront rancher Bundy and his band of armed outlaws has emboldened said outlaws, who have now occupied a federal installation. When are we going to properly declare these maniacs terrorists and take them down, hard? FFS.
THAT is what the National Guard should be doing instead of being sent out of the country.
I’m not sure “terrorist” is exactly right. “Bonehead,” “rebel,” and “insurrectionist” might be more on the nose.
Oh, good grief. One of the insurrectionists is named Ammon Bundy. We really are living in some kind of SF story.
Or Cheney will shoot you in the face.
Both “traitor” and “criminal” work nicely for me.
Um … when they turn brown?
No, no, the law spells out the penalties for not taking their word about what you don’t know not hurting you – fines and jail time. Being shot in the face by Dick Cheney is a PRIVILEGE … in Wyoming, anyway.
What is your definition for an insurrectionist becoming a terrorist? Once they actually kill someone? I could sort of see that, but I think a lot of people would consider that if you have gone to an ISIS or Al Qaeda training camp and threaten American lives on YouTube, you are already a terrorist. At least one of these guys with sniper training has warned on video that he is prepared to shoot federal agents if they attempt to enforce the law. So if there’s a difference, IMO, it’s one of degree rather than kind.
I’d define a terrorist as someone who directly or implicitly threatens harm or causes harm in pursuit of political goals or who is a supporter of a person or persons who do so. Ergo Bundy and Ritzheimer are terrorists.
It makes no difference if a terrorist makes the first shot or forces the first shot against himself.
It will be interesting listening to the clown car of Republican presidential candidates answer questions about citizens seizing federal property and offering violence.
They will blame it on Obama. Them good citizens was pushed beyond limit . . .
I hope they do! That shit will come back to bite their ass in the general election, big time.
New Hampshire Republican state legislator heckles Hillary at Clinton campaign stop.
I don’t think this counts as a stupid idea. Heckling candidates at political rallies has been going on for hundreds of years. Is it rude? Of course. So what?
By an elected legislator? I think that is stupid.
Being an elected legislator somehow makes her ineligible to heckle? It wasn’t the State of the Union address. (Yet. 
) I guess we’ll just disagree.
She’s an elected legislator from New Hampshire. They have like 400 of them and they get paid worse than jurors, so it’s a wonder they find people who aren’t frothing loonies to be in the legislature.
No one is ineligible to act stupid.
