No, no. If you’re gay you get Canadian bacon.

New Hampshire Republican – Don’t Punish Domestic Violence Because ‘People Are Always Free To Leave’ (VIDEO)
“Some people could make the argument that a lot of people like being in abusive relationships. It’s a love-hate relationship. It’s very, very common for people to stick around with somebody they love who also abuses him or her. Right? We all know that it’s not uncommon. So, is the solution to those kind of dysfunctional relationships going to be more government, another law? I’d tend to say no. People are always free to leave.”
There are no words.
It takes a special kind of person to think like that.

I think it’s a Rothbardian idea, except he applied the concept to age of consent laws.

I’ve decided that Some People is just an asshole.

Oh, I have plenty of words — none of them suitable even for the Pit.
Up next: “She wasn’t wearing a burqa, so obviously she wanted to be raped.”

Next week in New Hampshire: “Well, *obviously *I wasn’t abusing her, because she didn’t leave!”
Hey, if she didn’t want to be hit, she was perfectly free to bob and weave around my jabs.
Posted to this thread to avoid insulting anyone’s intelligence by pretending that the stupidity in question is disconnected from obvious partisan bias:
“This is not the kind of a question you can leave to Congress,” Justice Antonin Scalia pronounced during a Supreme Court argument Wednesday.
The subject was the Voting Rights Act…
[QUOTE=US Constitution, Amendment XV]The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Not Pit worthy but WTF funny:
CPAC snubs Christie .
Yeah, that makes total sense, snub the most highly approved Republican in the country. It’s not like you guys should be following his example if you ever hope to get your fucking party in order.
Even stupider Republican idea from the same article:
Former Sen. Rick Santorum was asked about Christie’s CPAC snub on CNN on Wednesday. Santorum declined to comment on the organization’s decision but said that it just showed how diverse the Republican party is.
“My feeling is… the great thing about the Republican Party is unlike the Democratic Party, there is a fair amount of diversity in our party. You guys on CNN, as well as other networks, spend a lot of time talking about the divisions in the Republican Party and then you make the claim, well you know, the Democratic Party is the more inclusive party,” Santorum said. “Well, wait a minute. There is no division in Democratic Party, you don’t talk about any divisions in the Democratic Party, so who is the real inclusive party and who isn’t?”

Yeah, the GOP is really diverse.
My favorite part of the story that Shakes linked is where Rick “Anal Leakage” Santorum tries to make the claim that the Republican Party is the party of diversity:
Former Sen. Rick Santorum was asked about Christie’s CPAC snub on CNN on Wednesday. Santorum declined to comment on the organization’s decision but said that it just showed how diverse the Republican party is.

There is no division in Democratic Party, you don’t talk about any divisions in the Democratic Party, so who is the real inclusive party and who isn’t?”
He really doesn’t appear to know what certain words actually mean; it’s astounding that he was ever elected to anything.
ETA: Ddamn you, RNATB !
Yeah in my country club we have heated debates over whether to exclude both the chinks and the darkies, or just to exclude the darkies, while the club across the street has decided unanimously to allow everyone in. Clearly our club is willing to accept more diversity of opinion.
I’d like to apologize for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This came to mind while I was reading it:
Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Holy crap! LOL wut?!
I didn’t actually read that article as I read the story somewhere else. I just did a quick Google search so I could link something for you guys.
Man, I sure do miss ol’ Rick and his crazy witticisms.
Once again, the conservative media machinebit on a story without checking the facts, and now regrets it…
Woodward better watch out, or Obama will use his Radical Muslim connections to send a Friends Of Hamas hit squad after him.

This is 100% my reading of what he said.
Fox runs at my work (defense contractor, god, don’t ask) and they are still running the story despite it being horse poop. Which, of course.
Oh, well, being only ten years off isn’t bad for a wingnut :
During a speech at the Wetumpka Tea Party, Elois Zeanah of the Alabama Federation of Republican Women compared the adoption of Common Core to the indoctrination of children in Nazi Germany, with President Obama teaching children and imposing an “anti-Christian, anti-capitalism, anti-America…pro-homosexuality, illegal immigration, unions, environmentalism, gun control, feminism and social justice” curriculum.
“They are going to force us to pay to indoctrinate our own kids,” Zeanah warned, “this is not a novel like ‘1994’ [sic], it’s Common Core.”
