Stupid Republican idea of the day

I dunno, I lean towards zombie . . . except that I just can’t picture him taking much interest in brains.

Incoming Nevada House speaker: ‘Simple minded darkies’ show ‘lack of gratitude’ to whites

  • The shrewd and calculating [black] ’leaders’ are willing to sacrifice the children of their own race to gratify their lust for power and position. The relationship of Negroes and Democrats is truly a master-slave relationship, with the benevolent master knowing what’s best for his simple minded darkies.”

Hansen registered further displeasure with the “simple minded darkies” more directly, too, noting that “[t]he lack of gratitude and the deliberate ignoring of white history in relation to eliminating slavery is a disgrace that Negro leaders should own up to.” *

There’s even more bile at the link. Enjoy!

Damn. When I lived in Maryland, I could pretend that jerks like this were someone else’s problem.

A county chairman is still Republican enough to count, right? Meet Big Stone County, Minnesota’s Jack Whitley:

But that’s just part of our problem here in America. Could it be … Satan?

Shit, Satan is an amateur! After Dachau, Stalin and Pol Pot, he can’t compete.

FOX & Friends is outraged that Obama quoted scripture in his immigration speech, just two days after lamenting the fact that he doesn’t flout his Christianity often enough.

They’reupset about immigration, but the lawsuit is about the ACA.

Ohio Pubs want to ban abortion at six weeks.

Not only that, the suit is about Obama failing to implement a law they opposed soon enough. :smack:

To me this really nails the point that they are in favor for as much suffering by the American people as possible as long as it is likely that Obama will get blamed for it.

(I realize this thread is not intended for serious questions but I don’t want to start a new thread and, anyway, the article in question definitely exhibits extreme stupidity, though calling progressives “childish”.)

[QUOTE=Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry]

One in 10 people visiting a U.S. hospital will acquire a nosocomial [i.e., hospital-acquired] disease… estimates that 100,000 people die every year from hospital-acquired diseases. This is just one specific consequence of the over-regulated brokenness that is the U.S. health care system.
[/QUOTE]

My question is: Is the (pre-Obamacare, as Gobry clearly means) U.S. health care system “over-regulated”? Gobry’s whole article is garbage, but this claim seems so bent, I wonder if I’m missing something.

Nosocomials are a problem in every hospital, ever. Comes with the territory when you store lots of sick people in one place and a good chunk of them have weakened immune systems for one reason or another and/or bedsores, open wounds, fresh surgery scars…

I fail to see what, if anything, it has to do with regulations. Or how more regulations would *worsen *the issue.

Paul Ryan’s stunning hypocrisy: The little-noticed way the GOP proved it’s full of it

What was your favorite part?

When your economic theories and policies are proven failures, fudge the numbers.

Lindsay Graham: The Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee Report on Benghaaaaazi is “full of crap”.

Posted to wrong group, but hey, are those Republicans stupid or WHAT?

What?

Reagan did similar immigration stuff - so let’s talk aboutBill Clinton’s policy?

No, see, that’s typical liberal cynicism, accusing the other side of skullduggery and shenanigans without a shred of proof, just to poison the well. When the truth is much simpler : if the theory fails to achieve its predictions, obviously and self-demonstrably reality is wrong.
