Stupid Republican idea of the day

Aw shucks, they were just joshin’. Sheesh, liberals are sooooo sensitive! And anyway, why wouldn’t Sutton want to get back into the kitchen? Then she wouldn’t have to worry her pretty little head about anything, and could leave all that confusing lawmakin’ stuff to big strong strapping men (and SMART women like Sue Lowden).

The ghost of John Calhoun is alive and well in the Minnesota state legislature, thanks to this new proposed law that would allow Minnesota to nullify any federal law by a 2/3rds vote. So what that it is blatantly unconstitutional? – sometimes we have to violate the constitution to show how much we love it.

Oh come on, it’s all a Democrat plan to make the Republicans look bad, just like every single other thing in this thread. If Democrats would quit makin’ all this stuff up or makin’ a big deal about it, the Republicans would look completely and absolutely reasonable.

Wow, being sarcastic about such brain-damage is hard. My mind is too boggled to do it properly.

According to the link, it will take a 2/3rds majority to approve any Federal laws. Apparently any Federal laws will be automatically nullified unless they get a supermajority of the Minnesota legislature to approve them.

Does that indicate that Minnesota wants to secede from the Union? Canada could take them, except that Canada has UHC and gay marriage. Plus, while getting rid of Bachman is a bonus, we don’t want to lose Franken.

Why do right-wingers hate the Constitution?

They don’t hate the Constitution, they just hate all those pesky rules in it.

But let’s remember we’re only talking about Republicans in the state legislature. If they want to secede, we should give them 40 acres and a mule and tell them to stay out of America.

Why do you hate mules?

They’re so damn stubborn, though to their credit not as stubborn as Republicans.

On edit: forgot to say, “Good one!” :stuck_out_tongue:

Because they are the product of equine miscegenation! The unnatural offspring of a perverted donkey and a slutty horse. Humans are depraved too, no doubt, but at least we stay within our own species! Mostly!

Which makes the idea extra special stupid.

I blame it on gay marriage.

You mean there are people who don’t?

40 acres where? Do we get to keep the land and throw out all the stupid right-wingers? It’s awfully pretty up there even though they have skeeters the size of cats. Who’d take 'em? Somalia? That seems easier than building a fence along 3 sides (Canada can take care of their side) so we don’t get any pesky illegal aliens daring to show their faces.

Kenya?

Just pick a place at random, say…Wisconsin! Republicans are natural Packers fans, seems to me.

I say Alaska. There’s a lot if open tundra. If they’re lucky they can dig and find some oil – maybe enough to heat their igloo through the winter.

The mule’s gonna make pretty poor eatin’ after it freezes dead.

Let’s just give 'em to Texas since Texas wants to secede too.

Let’s not just give 'em to Texas - we’ve already got more crazy down here than we know what to do with.

Choose someplace sane, like… California!

I think Alaska is the obvious choice.

It’s been done.

(But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth another try. In any case, The Daily Caller rates the Mat-Su Borough number 20 on its list of conservative-friendly counties, so they’d fit right in [and not skew the existing political climate significantly].)

Hate mules? Not at all – the reason to give each of them the right to take a mule along is that it would be cruel to separate couples

Because of the Bill of Rights. Duh. Did you know there’s all sorts of stuff in there that doesn’t apply to firearms? It’s true! Only 10% of it. What kind of commie would write something that’s 90% irrelevant to what matters?
