They SAY they’re against porn, but if they really want to defeat it, why do they avoid calling it by its proper name? They won’t say “teabagging,” or “[del]radical Islamic [/del]santorum,” which must mean they secretly support it.
Didn’t the GOP committees also vote in favor of allowing parents to subject their children to conversion “therapy?”
Louie Gohmert (you’ve read about him in this thread before, haven’t you?)is at it again.
Already covered, back in those ancient times of post #29326.
With that said, I remain baffled as to what Mr. Gohmert’s point is. If we allow same-sex marriage, the straights have to give up some seats on the Space Ark? Why are we even talking about Space Arks, anyway? Does Congress know something about a giant asteroid headed our way that we don’t?
You’d think that persons whose sexual impulses don’t necessarily lead to unintended offspring would be quite useful for maintaining population controls over the course of an interstellar voyage.
The “ark” might even work *better *if it was populated entirely with lesbians and a ton of frozen sperm samples. Less people without wombs draining resources.
Now I want to make Louie Gohmert watch my version of The Martian: Lesbian Version.
Naah, needs a cheesier title. Say, Mr. Gohmert, here’s your popcorn. Time for your mandatory screening of “Womb With A View”…
That would work at first, but gays and lesbians don’t reliably beget gay & lesbian kids, so in a generation or so you’d be back to mostly straights anyway.
That’s the gay agenda? Some agenda that is.
AG Loretta Lynch is before the House Judiciary Committee today and I loved this bit:[
GOP platform. 1816 or 2016?
The Bible is US History and should be taught in schools as such
Let’s give the national parks to the states (or better yet??) sell them off.
With all these great ideas, the next ten thousand posts in this thread are pretty much assured.
Scott Jones is the Sheriff of Sacramento County. He is also the Republican candidate for Congress from the district we live in. He is one of the biggest givers-away of gun permits in the entire state, giving guns away at a much greater rate than the largest county, Los Angeles. His department is also handing out, free, at its offices, a brochure reprinted from the Wall Street Journal called “The Myths of Black Lives Matter”.
So the answer to the thread title “Who reads the party’s platform?” is “The other side, so we can laugh our asses off.”
For years and years, we of the DFH community looked forward with glee to the next installment of the Texas Republican Party platform. They never disappointed us by veering into the sensible and reasonable.
If there’s one pundit/political figure whose death in the last decade makes me the saddest, it’s Molly Ivins. The fact that she died just before the GOP went huggy-jacket-insane is a tragedy.
This old chestnut is more relevant than ever:
Conservatives think women are private property.
Liberals think women are public property.
Huh? Which is it, please, that is trying to make abortion illegal? You’ve got it backwards, goofus.
Wrongo: Liberals think women own themselves. The above quote is one of the stupidest I’ve ever seen. I have never seen nor heard the “old chestnut” before.
Democrats don’t think women are property. Period.
If a woman wants to sleep with another woman – or marry another woman – who steps in to try and stop her: the liberal, or the conservative?
