It all makes sense now.
- Move bison to Yellowstone Park, where there are huge oil reserves.
- Declare ground off-limits for drilling, because it is the habitat of bison.
(I am inferring the next two) - Then you get the sugar.
- Then you get the women.
Of course! And Disney put out Fantasia thirty years before anyone was taking any LSD to watch it! Man, these guys plan ahead!
Ok, to explain where the connections come from, remember that this is through the HuffPost filter. Not that he’s a rational being, mind you, just that if you want to understand his point it helps to go to the source.
So, he seems to be saying that we’ve started to prefer cute animals over jobs and people’s needs. This is fairly standard RW rhetoric, and though I don’t agree, it’s not quite as insane as HuffPo characterized it. By pushing the environmental agenda, Montana has lost rights/sovereignty to the Federal government and to the radical few. Since these bison are now protected on a reservation (which seems to have gone against state law, though Federal law’s pre-eminence is civics 101), they will be free to breed breed breed. Eventually, they’ll overpopulate their area and spread to other parts of Montana. Becauswe they’re cute and idolized (there is a lot of christian bullshit in his blog I didn’t copy/paste), as they spill into Montana state territory (or other Federal lands, I guess), they’ll carry a protected status.
So… when the Mideast goes tits up and gas jumps to $25 per gallon (yeah, that’s a stretch but far less batshit than other RW claims), we’ll want to drill domestically. *However, * even though there are rich reserves (are there?) in his back yard, no one will be able to access them because the cute and idolized bison will have to be protected and drilling won’t be allowed.
He doesn’t think this is his personal wild idea of connect-the-dots, he believes it’s a super-secret government plan that he was able to identify and describe.
Fucktard.
Anyone thing that’s close? Anone think a good blog would be “interpreting what the batshit really means”? Not somethign that sets up strawmen (what he’s actually saying is …), but one that honestly tries to rephrase the hyperbolic rhetoric in terms that are at least arguable from a rational perspective.
That’s nothing. Most people think that Socrates drank hemlock because he was sentenced to death. Baloney. He drank it as part of a plan to fix the 1919 World Series.
Of course, that took more than 4 steps.
So your saying this man thinks bison are cute? He is clearly insane.
Arrrrgh - I forgot the link. Thanks
And Laurel — which, last time I was through, appeared to be one humungous oil refinery cloaked in a thin veneer of civilization — is stranger still.
WTF, I had no idea this is still going on. House Republicans today are voting for the THIRTY FUCKING THIRD time to repeal Obamacare?! I had no idea there were 1 effort to repeal, let alone 33! What the fuck do they think they’re getting paid for, pointless bullshit? Wait, this is the GOP, so yeah, I guess so. To them, taking a pointless stance to blow your equally insane fringe is just as good as passing actual laws
I shudder to think what kind of bullshit they will pull once they get back into power. And for these 33 wasted times, I will never ever consider Democrats to be “playing politics” ever again. There’s simply no comparison. I cannot imagine that they would go through a quarter of the effort to perpetuate a charade like this. I remember one or two votes by the Dems back when Bush was in charge to repeal stuff, but you get your symbolic vote and then you move on like adults
33 times is just the legislative equivalent of a pissing and shitting tantrum thrown on the floor of the store until you get what you want. From now on, whenever any GOP accuses a Dem of playing politics, even if the Dem actually is doing it, I’m just going to point to the 33 fucking repeal attempts and tell them to fuck off
Sorry this is Stupid Republican Idea of the Day, not Stupid Republican Idea of the Year
Speaking of which, when do the nominations for Stupid Republican Idea of the Year come out?
Thats not as interesting. For 2003, it was “Invade Iraq!”. Hands down, no contest. The next year, it was “Stay in Iraq!” Game over, man, game over. Closer, though, what with “The draft dodging frat boy is a hero, the wounded vet is a wussie!”
For you, this was the day that gas went to $25.00/gallon. For Bison, it was Tuesday.
January 1 of every year. Usually we have at least a dozen candidates within 24 hours so no need to wait.
I was reading an article this morning regarding R-Congresscritters (can’t remember which ones, Upton and Stern, I think) that have been holding the Solyndra hearings. They are not pushing a bill that will ban any clean energy subsidies and stating, “Our ‘No More Solyndras Act’ will ensure taxpayers are no longer vulnerable to the Obama administration’s game of crony capitalism.”
I was thinking to myself, isn’t it painful doing this hearing stuff day after day when you know it’s all bullshit? They KNOW this was started by Bush, yet they spend day after day trying to pin it to Obama. You have to be one cynical bastard to do that job every day.
Today, Mitt Romney spoke at the NAACP. He told them he’d repeal Obamacare and pass voter ID laws.
Well, at least you can’t accuse him of pandering for votes.
Or the most awesome game of chess ever.
You’re right there, that’s the least.
No, it’s definitely pandering for votes. Just not black people votes.
