They claim to prefer local rule over big government… unless they disagree with the local rules and agree with the big government.
Democrats believe decisions should be made by a strong central government. Republicans believe that decisions should be made by whatever level of government is controlled by Republicans.
The man behind the attempt to get an anti-trans referendum on the ballot in my state has come up with a new plan for how to get petition signatures, and it’sexactly as hypocritical and stupid as you might expect;
McCain directly blames the Orlando shooting on Obama.
Still won’t say what he would have done.
Beyond saying the magic phrase over and over. Becoming increasingly frantic as it fails to destroy ISIS.
Perhaps he has forgotten what ‘directly’ means?
He also seems to have forgotten that it was BUSH’S decision to go into Iraq in the first place, and that it was BUSH’S administration that negotiated the troop withdrawal from Iraq agreement. Both of which he agreed with, and both of which are inarguably proximate causes of the creation of ISIL.
He’s simply throwing red meat to his idiotic, hard-right supporters. McCain’s not trying to move the debate in a constructive direction, nor does he intend to follow up his comments with anything substantial; it’s just a swipe at Obama because he can.
In the latest attempt by Republicans to paint themselves as the true defenders of LBGT Americans, Mo Brooks, congressman from Alabama, claims that the American Muslim community wants to “kill every homosexual in the United States”.
Not only is he wrong, but, in fact, American Muslims are more supportive of same-sex-marriage than Christian evangelicals, like Brooks, are.
“Homosexuals ‘Worthy of Death’ Bible Verse Read Before Key Vote”

Amazing how they never read the rest of Romans I as if it is actually talking to them.
Because its basically a huge diatribe about what shitbags we all are and how we need to stop being so judgmental of each other.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29 **They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. **
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Sounds like the Republicans to me.
He’s running for re-election against a Tea Partyist to his right and a Democrat to his left, he has to tack to the right.
And heaven forbid they read all the way to chapter 14, which is about not judging other people who don’t believe in the same rules that you do.
Is that Romans One or Romans Eye? /DT
Actually, I think Saddam was doing a fine job of suppressing Daesh, but then somebody or another undertook to have Saddam undertaken.
To me, the worst part is the “#ISIS.”
Is he trying to get them trending on Twitter?
I thought they stopped having prayers to open sessions. It’s unconstitutional, after all, and Republicans are all about being constitutional, right?
Are they still including citations in bills to the part of the Constitution that supports it?
Florida AG Pam Bondi is miffed that Anderson Cooper had the audacity to ask about her record on gay rights (not a good one) instead just of letting her posture about Orlando.
She’s lucky all he did was repeat his question instead of delving into how her “I was only following orders” defense was as chicken-shit as it was during Nuremberg.
The fact is that there is no law that mandates the Florida AG to defend a law and many of her peers have balked at defending laws they felt were unconstitutional.
And even if she felt the law was Constitutional, she was doing more than defending a law, she was appealing Federal court rulings against the law. An AG could easily say “The federal courts ruled, let’s move on,” but not Pam.
And how about that defense! Even if her job was to defend those discriminatory laws tooth and nail to the final Supreme Court decision, she didn’t have to say these things in court documents:
So yeah, Cooper and the LGBT community in Florida have every reason to question why she is suddenly claiming to be a friend to their community when she went to great lengths - practically none of them mandatory for her job description - to discriminate against them.
She can stick that fainting couch she apparently needed up her ass.
Trump complains that the TSA isn’t doing its job. He’s correct, the TSA isn’t even involved this time.
I don’t know why he bothers with security screenings at all. If more people were allowed to bring guns to his rallies, he’d be so much safer. Do I have that right?
I don’t see that the survey you cited says that at all.
Of all the religious groups reported in that survey, Muslims are the 2nd worst, with a strong majority still opposing marriage equality. Only the white evangelical protestants are worse.
