Adds up to six, though. I’m just saying.

Warning: bad grammar ahead. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s not that big on education.

:rolleyes: Clearly you are the one who didn’t pay attention in civics class; if you had, you’d know that there are in fact NINE branches of government. In the interest of fighting your ignorance, I’ll list them for you: there’s the Congress, the Senate, the President, Justice, Liberty, Taxes, Freedom, the Military, and the People. This is grade school stuff; everyone knows this.

Ha! You forgot Jesus. That’s ten.

[Kobal2]

You forgot Poland.

Edit : Oh goddammit.

[YogSothoth]

You forgot about the tree that needs blood to grow liberty, or something

[running_coach]

Don’t forget Death. Him and Taxes, they’re like best buds.

Bo, was that a whoosh, or were you really serious?

No, the Vampire Tree is a preconstitutional thing, like your natural right to trial by jury.

@detop

You realize of course, that this would be a casus belli and what happened the last time we were at war ? Don’t make us go to Washington, you wouldn’t like it.

In all seriousness, we would kick your ass this time!

I hereby demand, under threat of war, that you take the Tea Partiers AND the city of Detroit!

edit - ok ok that’s a bit harsh…but screw it! I’m sticking to my demands.

I looked to see if this one had been mentioned, yet, but didn’t find it in this thread. Anyway, it’s a doozy:

With court action over the state’s proof-of-citizenship voting law looming, [Kansas] Secretary of State Kris Kobach is laying groundwork for a system that would allow some voters to vote in all elections while others could only vote for Congress and presidential tickets.

Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, an opponent of the proof-of-citizenship law, said he received confirmation from the Department of Legislative Research this week that Kobach is moving forward with the plan to limit voters who follow federal registration rules to voting only in federal elections.
…
Kobach…confirmed he’s planning for elections with different ballots for different voters, depending on whether they register under federal or state rules.

Cite.

ETA: This is just the latest stupidity from this guy. Read the article for more.

I’m still waiting to find out if post 1091 was a whoosh.

Sounds like the good Congresscritter has been OD’ing on 1984:

Two and two are four. Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.

We took Detroit once and we’ve burned it. Don’t blame us if you can’t build things to last.

Typical American. So cute and so shortsighted.

Let me tell you about our war plans.

First, we pretend to let you conquer us.

While you occupy us (and you will occupy us, you’ve never been able to resist oil), we will slowly continue to infiltrate you (while activating our sleepers agents already in place).

We will increase our behaviour and societal modifications programs (with funds already earmarked). Little things at first, like pronouncing “zee” properly (it’s pronounced “zed”), adding "u"s where there should be some and so on.

Until 10 to 20 years down the road, you will find that you have become bilingual (French and English) Socialist Canuckistanis. Like the future Prime Minister Robin Scherbatsky will say : “Welcome to the tribe, Hosers !”

Bilingual? Ha!

Many people here aren’t even mono-lingual. This over reach will doom your plans for Canamerica comrade.
