Well, since they obviously either 1) don’t exist, or 2) are the creations of Satan, a well-placed couple of nukes should do the trick. 
Well, one of the problems we were having with the healthcare system was healthy people who didn’t think they needed insurance. Drop a couple of hellfires on them and they’ll need insurance toot sweet.
His head would probably explode if you told him there were countries that aren’t mentioned in the bible.
That sounds a little extreme – killing possible subscribers , in fact, will guarantee that they don’t sign up. (Although, being dead, it won’t matter then). Sheckley’s story imagined less severe punishment for non-conformance. It suggested an escalating series of non-lethal electric shocks. We might consider that for the drones. Or maybe laughing gas attacks, or something.
Tell him the United States aren’t in it. Better do it from a distance of about 10 feet, arterial spray is a bitch to remove from a good shirt.
It’s GOHMEEEERT! so he’d probably conflate the Bible’s “shining city on a hill” with Reagan’s version, which IS the USA. After all, RepublicanFantasyReagan is God.
Michele Bachmann said on CNN last night that she lost her health insurance due to Obamacare.
That poor, poor woman.
Bless her heart.
Are you sure you didn’t mean “implode”?
And who is responsible for Bachmann losing her congressional health care plan? OBAMA! er, no. A Republican, who wrote: “Remember, it was Republicans who made this law apply to Congress, not the Democrats who wrote the law.”
Damn Republicans!
John of Orange, the gift that keeps on giving to this thread:
The decision itself is evil rather than stupid – the qualification for this thread is the Tangerine Dreamer’s obvious motive (the hope that if he licks the Talibornagains’ boots with sufficient enthusiasm, starting with the soles, they will pat him on the head and tell him he’s a good boy).
My representative, Joe Heck (R, obviously), has just sent out an e-mail to constituents with the subject line, “Share your opinion on ObamaCare.” In it, he says,
And here, in its entirety, is the survey:
[quote]
In light of the recent problems with the healthcare law rollout, what do you think Congress should do about the Affordable Care Act?
[ul]Fully repeal the law and begin working on a replacement mechanism
[li]Delay the individual mandate that fines people who don’t purchase insurance [/li][li]Allow people with health insurance to keep their current plans [/li][li]Repeal the law and do not enact a replacement plan [/li][li]I am not sure [/ul][/li][/quote]
No “None of the above” or “Leave it alone and fix the Web site.”
So he only wants to hear the opinions he already agrees with. Typical Republican.
He’ll probably take the slanted results from this so-called survey and proclaim, “A vast majority of my constituents have made it clear me that they want this law repealed!”
Lindel Toups, who sits on the Lafourche Parish, Louisiana City Council wants to reduce spending on libraries:
I have to admit that sometimes, in the privacy of my own home, I look at food stamps on the internet. That is a kind of porn, right?
If those food stamps weren’t so alluring, then good god-fearing men wouldn’t be looking at them on the Internet.
I know I wouldn’t have.
Ever.
They don’t actually give out physical stamps any more, do they?
That’s why you have to look at them on the internet.
RE: Rabbit season! Drone season! – can you actually take out a UAV with small arms fire? Even if it was flying super low I’d think you’d need something with a bit more punch than a hunting rifle. Maybe they have some stinger missiles lying around.
I’m thinking that goes a long ways towards explaining the appeal of willful ignorance and stupidity.
Stupid and uninformed opinions and ideas are free of the shackles reality insists on imposing on the thinking portion of the population.
Drones are pretty fragile actually - well, so are fighter planes really, but drones are even flimsier. A well-placed shotgun blast will take one out, probably. The problem is, of course, hitting it in the first place. But they’re pretty slow, too, so if you have a shotgun AND a Piper Cub, the sky’s the limit !
